4
00:00:14.750 --> 00:00:16.730
Hey, right now, six minutes after the top of the hour,

5
00:00:16.769 --> 00:00:20.760
Bill Martin is here, along with Dr. Paul Kengor, Professor

6
00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:23.339
of Political Science and Chief Academic Fellow at the Institute

7
00:00:23.379 --> 00:00:26.000
for Faith and Freedom at Grove City College. Good morning, Paul.

8
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:26.420
How are you?

9
00:00:26.899 --> 00:00:27.339
Hey, Bill.

10
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:27.899
Good to be with you.

11
00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:28.260
Thanks.

12
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.289
Well, always good to be here to talk about, boy,

13
00:00:31.370 --> 00:00:35.130
all things American and un-American. Who would have ever thought, Paul,

14
00:00:35.189 --> 00:00:38.250
here we are in 2026. I mean, not that long ago,

15
00:00:38.649 --> 00:00:40.969
we thought it was just the Democrats and the Republicans.

16
00:00:41.429 --> 00:00:45.090
It's not. It's either you're for America or you're against America.

17
00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:50.869
This is the political divide it seems to be these days. Yeah, yeah.

18
00:00:50.990 --> 00:00:53.570
And it's really quite terrible. We actually have a piece

19
00:00:53.649 --> 00:00:58.259
up in American Spectator right now by DeRoy Murdoch, and

20
00:00:58.340 --> 00:01:02.520
it's on Hassan Piker and the Democrats who embrace his

21
00:01:02.619 --> 00:01:06.340
violent rhetoric. And we had to make an editorial decision, Bill,

22
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.120
on this piece in directly quoting Hassan Piker. whether or

23
00:01:11.170 --> 00:01:14.049
not to abbreviate all the uses of the F word

24
00:01:14.129 --> 00:01:18.709
and all the profanity. And we decided to print it

25
00:01:18.909 --> 00:01:23.290
as he said it. And it's really, I think when

26
00:01:23.329 --> 00:01:25.930
people see that, they'll agree that it was a good

27
00:01:25.969 --> 00:01:29.230
decision because it's kind of, I have the same kind

28
00:01:29.250 --> 00:01:31.409
of feeling. I'm writing a book right now on Ronald

29
00:01:31.469 --> 00:01:36.090
Reagan and race. And when LBJ referred to Martin Luther

30
00:01:36.109 --> 00:01:41.909
King Jr. as that G-damned N-word preacher, Right. I want

31
00:01:41.930 --> 00:01:44.890
to I don't want to abbreviate it like I just did.

32
00:01:45.170 --> 00:01:47.790
I want to lay it out because I want people

33
00:01:47.849 --> 00:01:50.609
to read it and feel like, wham, you know, that's

34
00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:52.519
that's that was his heart.

35
00:01:53.219 --> 00:01:55.939
You know, he was being very honest. And the deal is,

36
00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:00.239
is some partner, Piker as well. You know, I interviewed DeRoy.

37
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.079
And in fact, I I wanted to play the soundbite.

38
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.980
He gave me the soundbite. And I thought, gosh, you know,

39
00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:08.280
for our audience, because we have a Christian audience. And

40
00:02:08.289 --> 00:02:11.500
I thought, God, we can't have F-words bombing. So I said, look,

41
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.240
I've got to get it. I've got to go and

42
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.060
do some work on it and bleep out all the F-words.

43
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.219
I mean, it was almost like, you know, the sound

44
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.500
bite was only about 20 seconds, but most of it

45
00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:24.990
was beeping out the F-word, Paul. It's just crazy. But

46
00:02:25.030 --> 00:02:26.129
this is how harsh he is.

47
00:02:26.930 --> 00:02:27.150
Right.

48
00:02:27.169 --> 00:02:31.129
No, that's exactly right. And he uses things like use

49
00:02:31.150 --> 00:02:35.840
the Constitution to, you know, wipe yourself, your bottom, right?

50
00:02:35.849 --> 00:02:39.469
It refers to... like, you know, like, um, you know,

51
00:02:39.849 --> 00:02:44.289
homosexual language, jargon to describe what one thing is doing

52
00:02:44.330 --> 00:02:48.840
to another and, and just, you know, really just, just vulgar.

53
00:02:48.849 --> 00:02:49.500
Yeah.

54
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.840
And, and, and that, you know, aside from the vulgarity,

55
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.919
there's the violence. I mean, he talks about spilling blood

56
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.400
and I, I, I'll tell you, I, I, in all honesty,

57
00:03:01.419 --> 00:03:03.659
and I kind of say this kind of embarrassingly because

58
00:03:04.219 --> 00:03:06.460
I'm on top of this stuff, usually with DSA and

59
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.009
everything else, but When I read this today from Hassan Piker,

60
00:03:10.030 --> 00:03:13.289
this opened my eyes. I didn't even realize that he

61
00:03:13.330 --> 00:03:17.039
was saying things like that. And seeing that now, I mean,

62
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:22.080
this guy ought to be on an FBI watch list.

63
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:27.439
This is really violent rhetoric. And they talk about Trump

64
00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:31.449
inciting January 6th or whatever. I mean, this guy seems

65
00:03:31.469 --> 00:03:37.270
to be directly advocating... for violence or inciting violence. I mean,

66
00:03:37.310 --> 00:03:40.490
this is over the top. And a lot of the Democrats,

67
00:03:41.229 --> 00:03:46.800
the DSA types, the AOC types, they won't denounce them.

68
00:03:46.860 --> 00:03:50.020
They won't separate themselves from them. Because for them, this

69
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.219
is the way it's always been, Bill, right? You know,

70
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.180
the only extremists are on the right, right? There's no

71
00:03:56.259 --> 00:03:58.699
extremists on the left. They're only on the right. It's

72
00:03:58.740 --> 00:04:02.909
only those radical right-wingers. And I did a talk show recently,

73
00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:05.180
and A lady called in and said, well, what about

74
00:04:05.219 --> 00:04:09.449
the white nationalists and the Christian nationalists and the Republican Party?

75
00:04:09.969 --> 00:04:16.410
I said, well, if there was like a white nationalist party, WNP,

76
00:04:16.509 --> 00:04:20.680
white nationalist party, and they were infiltrating the Republicans and

77
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:26.040
primarying vulnerable Republicans in primaries and getting themselves elected to

78
00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:29.579
Republican seats, then you might have something to worry about there, right?

79
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.579
That's not happening. That is happening with what the DSA

80
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:39.899
is doing with vulnerable Democrats in Democratic primaries. Just this week,

81
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.480
the gal in Florida got the Democratic nomination for the Senate,

82
00:04:45.779 --> 00:04:46.800
defeating Vindman.

83
00:04:47.180 --> 00:04:51.920
I mean, that's wild. Really wild. Well, Vindman's... a character

84
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:57.189
of suspicion anyway. But that aside, but still, you're exactly

85
00:04:57.250 --> 00:04:59.089
right at the bottom line. What I love is how

86
00:04:59.129 --> 00:05:02.870
they're trying to twist the DSA into the mold of

87
00:05:02.910 --> 00:05:05.889
the Tea Party. And you go, wait a minute, that's

88
00:05:05.949 --> 00:05:09.350
a round peg in a square hole. How do you

89
00:05:09.370 --> 00:05:12.139
match that? Just like you said, the DSA has come

90
00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:15.259
in and they basically have taken over the brand of

91
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.079
the Democratic Party. And this idea that there are only

92
00:05:19.139 --> 00:05:22.759
two DSA members in the Democratic Party is like, you

93
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.259
are delusional. Do you see these people that are in

94
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:27.899
the shadows, that have been in the shadows? I mean,

95
00:05:27.939 --> 00:05:31.060
Trevor Loudon has been reporting on this for decades. And

96
00:05:31.100 --> 00:05:34.040
he surprised our audience, I think, maybe five years ago

97
00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:36.079
when he first said, you guys got to wake up.

98
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.519
There's over 100 card-carrying Democratic socialists in the Democratic Party

99
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.800
that are in office, that are in Congress. And they

100
00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:48.699
couldn't even pass a security clearance.

101
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:50.060
Right. Right.

102
00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:53.019
Well, that's exactly right. And what happened with the Tea Party,

103
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.180
you and I remember this very well. I mean, they

104
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.920
were mainly, it was mainly like an anti-tax, anti-big government group.

105
00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:00.540
Exactly.

106
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:01.339
Right.

107
00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:05.279
And what the Democrats had to do and what Obama

108
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.579
had to do was try to tar and feather all

109
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.750
of them as like racists or supremacists. And the moment

110
00:06:10.790 --> 00:06:12.209
they were doing that, guys like you and I were like,

111
00:06:12.529 --> 00:06:14.029
what are you doing? What?

112
00:06:14.149 --> 00:06:14.329
Right.

113
00:06:14.670 --> 00:06:17.750
I mean, we know these people. These are like, you know,

114
00:06:18.350 --> 00:06:21.550
60-something people that, you know, you and I know in

115
00:06:21.589 --> 00:06:25.250
our communities who were just kind of very patriotic. They

116
00:06:25.300 --> 00:06:27.040
weren't radical right-wingers at all.

117
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:32.980
They answered the call to get involved in their local politics. And,

118
00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:35.459
I mean, these are the same group. When they had,

119
00:06:36.060 --> 00:06:38.410
you know, events and everything, Paul, they would clean up

120
00:06:38.529 --> 00:06:39.610
after themselves. Yes.

121
00:06:39.990 --> 00:06:42.730
Yes, exactly right. And then right after that came the

122
00:06:43.050 --> 00:06:46.370
whole Occupy Wall Street group, right, which was a complete

123
00:06:46.449 --> 00:06:49.470
antithesis of the Tea Parties. But the Tea Party people,

124
00:06:49.730 --> 00:06:51.709
you know, they were flying flags that said, like, don't

125
00:06:51.769 --> 00:06:52.430
tread on me.

126
00:06:52.490 --> 00:06:52.670
Right.

127
00:06:52.709 --> 00:06:57.540
They were invoking 1776, the American Revolution. They were against

128
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.959
what Obama was calling, you know, we've got to redistribute

129
00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:00.379
the wealth.

130
00:07:00.459 --> 00:07:00.660
Right.

131
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:02.779
Or a fundamental transformation of America.

132
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:02.980
Right.

133
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.000
I mean, they were against that kind of thing. They

134
00:07:06.019 --> 00:07:08.160
were not radical at all. I mean, you could say,

135
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.980
you know, far more negative things about the Jay Sixers.

136
00:07:11.139 --> 00:07:11.360
Right.

137
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:12.439
Right.

138
00:07:12.660 --> 00:07:13.779
Than anybody in the Tea Party.

139
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:13.899
Right.

140
00:07:14.230 --> 00:07:17.029
But yeah, so to call these people today the equivalent

141
00:07:17.050 --> 00:07:20.589
of the Tea Party, the Tea Party, they were throwbacks

142
00:07:20.889 --> 00:07:24.149
to 1776. These people were throwbacks to 1917, to the

143
00:07:24.810 --> 00:07:31.300
Bolshevik Revolution, to 1793, 1794, the Jacobins, the French Revolution, right?

144
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:36.079
These people being socialists, being Marxists, being communists, read the

145
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:41.060
Communist Manifesto. It is the complete antithesis of everything in

146
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.500
the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

147
00:07:44.389 --> 00:07:48.089
Exactly. You know, bringing up Barack Obama, this is always

148
00:07:48.589 --> 00:07:52.129
something that sticks in my craw, is that Barack Obama

149
00:07:52.290 --> 00:07:55.689
interfered in so many elections. I have maintained with his

150
00:07:55.750 --> 00:07:58.769
interference of the Tea Party. Remember, they had quite a

151
00:07:58.829 --> 00:08:01.329
lot of momentum going on before Lois Lerner came on

152
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:04.709
the scene and started playing her games and really kneecapped

153
00:08:04.730 --> 00:08:12.069
the movement. And how was that not election interference? I maintain, Paul,

154
00:08:12.490 --> 00:08:16.149
that since Obama's meddling with the Tea Party and what

155
00:08:16.189 --> 00:08:19.069
he did with Lois Lerner and the IRS, probably interfered

156
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.220
at least in maybe eight to 10 voting cycles to

157
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:22.600
this day.

158
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.000
Yeah, well, it's probably right. And of course, when they

159
00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:30.199
do it, they get away with it. And I mean,

160
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.470
about the only time that I ever remember Republicans complaining

161
00:08:33.509 --> 00:08:38.470
about an election being rigged or having tampering, at least

162
00:08:38.529 --> 00:08:42.330
on a large scale, was Trump versus Biden. I mean,

163
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.730
otherwise the Democrats complain about that every four years, always.

164
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.840
I mean, you and I remember 2000 with George W.

165
00:08:48.889 --> 00:08:49.909
Bush and I.

166
00:08:49.889 --> 00:08:52.049
Mean, the Democrats- The hanging chads and all that.

167
00:08:52.129 --> 00:08:56.230
Yeah, hanging chads. Bush whacked by the Supremes, right? You know,

168
00:08:56.250 --> 00:08:58.690
the Supreme Court had come in and stolen the election.

268
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.019
We're talking with Dr. Paul Kandor. He's a professor of

269
00:14:27.059 --> 00:14:31.220
political science, chief academic fellow of the Institute for Faith

270
00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:34.289
and Freedom at Grove City College. Yeah, Paul, I guess

271
00:14:34.330 --> 00:14:36.029
to put a bow around this deal, I mean, this

272
00:14:36.110 --> 00:14:40.990
is the thing where journalists and the professional media apparatchik

273
00:14:41.350 --> 00:14:44.389
is so disingenuous because here we are, we're talking about

274
00:14:44.460 --> 00:14:47.399
voter integrity. This battle still goes on with the SAVE Act,

275
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:52.299
which isn't going to happen before the midterms, very disappointingly. And,

276
00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:54.600
you know, I blame, I really put the pressure on

277
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.539
John Thune. I mean, how he can allow the Senate

278
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.690
to go on vacation for five weeks and leave something

279
00:15:00.789 --> 00:15:04.000
of this significance behind. on the table is beyond me.

280
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.820
Yeah, no, that's exactly right. But you know, one thing

281
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.080
you could be sure of with the members of Congress,

282
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.659
members of the Senate is they're going to take a

283
00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:13.250
vacation wherever they can, man.

284
00:15:13.350 --> 00:15:14.120
Oh yeah.

285
00:15:14.210 --> 00:15:16.870
I was just, I was in talking to you today.

286
00:15:16.889 --> 00:15:19.230
I was, I just got back last night from DC.

287
00:15:19.269 --> 00:15:21.590
I was there the last three days. I mean, that place,

288
00:15:21.669 --> 00:15:24.070
it really is a swamp. Everybody wants to get out

289
00:15:24.090 --> 00:15:24.409
of there.

290
00:15:24.549 --> 00:15:25.889
Right. Exactly. Right.

291
00:15:26.029 --> 00:15:27.889
I had, I had two meetings that I had to

292
00:15:27.929 --> 00:15:30.029
go to bill and the guys came in like three

293
00:15:30.090 --> 00:15:32.759
piece suits and And I said, look, I'm sorry, dude,

294
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.220
but I got a polo shirt for the first one, right?

295
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.379
I said, you're lucky I didn't wear shorts to this.

296
00:15:37.970 --> 00:15:39.830
And then the next one, I said, I had a

297
00:15:39.909 --> 00:15:41.870
button down shirt. I said, I'm not wearing a jacket

298
00:15:41.889 --> 00:15:43.649
and a tie, man. Look how I'm sweating, right? It's

299
00:15:43.669 --> 00:15:44.850
too much. People get out.

300
00:15:44.889 --> 00:15:45.289
That's right.

301
00:15:45.389 --> 00:15:46.610
They don't want to be in town. They don't want

302
00:15:46.649 --> 00:15:51.429
to work there. So no, they need to buckle up,

303
00:15:52.169 --> 00:15:55.509
bring their lunch bucket, work a real job like most

304
00:15:55.570 --> 00:15:56.210
Americans do.

305
00:15:56.700 --> 00:15:58.500
Well, at least they can go to D.C. and not

306
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.700
be worried so much for their lives like they were previously.

307
00:16:01.779 --> 00:16:02.000
Right.

308
00:16:02.419 --> 00:16:05.700
And the National Guard is still there, although, you know,

309
00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:08.919
Democrats want the National Guard out of there, even though

310
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:12.200
there's a dramatic change where, you know, people can actually

311
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.320
go and have dinner at night there in D.C., my

312
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:15.879
understanding is. Yeah.

313
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.519
Yeah. And you can feel the difference, too. In fact,

314
00:16:18.570 --> 00:16:20.500
when I go down there, I always stay in Old

315
00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:23.809
Town Alexandria, which is actually where our offices are for

316
00:16:23.850 --> 00:16:26.990
the American Spectator. But anytime I go to DC for

317
00:16:27.049 --> 00:16:29.549
any event, especially someone else who's hosting me offers to

318
00:16:29.590 --> 00:16:30.019
pay for it.

319
00:16:30.049 --> 00:16:30.210
Right.

320
00:16:30.629 --> 00:16:32.590
Oh, we'll put you up at this nice hotel in DC.

321
00:16:32.649 --> 00:16:34.509
And I said, no, I don't want to stay there.

322
00:16:34.610 --> 00:16:35.970
I don't want to go down there and get shot.

323
00:16:36.230 --> 00:16:36.389
Right.

324
00:16:36.409 --> 00:16:38.549
I don't want to say, but this past week when

325
00:16:38.590 --> 00:16:41.009
I was there, um, somebody asked me where I was staying.

326
00:16:41.049 --> 00:16:42.809
I told him Old Town Alexandria. He said, you should

327
00:16:42.830 --> 00:16:45.210
stay in DC. It's a lot better right now. I said, really?

328
00:16:45.230 --> 00:16:47.120
And he said, oh yeah, yeah. You know, the, you know,

329
00:16:47.129 --> 00:16:49.470
the Trump effect, you can, you can genuinely feel it.

330
00:16:49.820 --> 00:16:51.799
I said, you feel safer. He said, yeah. And I

331
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:53.960
did park in the bottom of a kind of, uh,

332
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.919
dark garage not far from the White House, and I thought,

333
00:16:57.940 --> 00:17:01.460
am I going to be safe down here? I didn't

334
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:04.819
see anything at all, and I still would advise people

335
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.359
to avoid it like the plague, frankly. But Trump has

336
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:12.019
definitely made it safer, and the residents really appreciate it.

337
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:14.890
This is the thing that amazes me, is between the

338
00:17:14.970 --> 00:17:18.109
media and, of course, DSA and the political season that

339
00:17:18.170 --> 00:17:22.470
is upon us, we're being told repeatedly what a bad

340
00:17:22.529 --> 00:17:25.680
guy Trump is. And I look back over just the

341
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.859
last two years of his presidency, what he did. I mean,

342
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:32.130
the promises he's made, he's kept, whether it has to

343
00:17:32.170 --> 00:17:35.849
do with border, the resistance, of course, by the left

344
00:17:35.910 --> 00:17:41.019
has been obvious about disbanding ICE and interfering with the

345
00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:44.279
process of getting illegals out of the country that have

346
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:46.759
cost us in so many ways, jobs, the lives of

347
00:17:46.819 --> 00:17:51.740
American citizens. Paul, in every state of the union, a citizen...

348
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:57.769
has become a homicidal statistic at the hands of illegal immigrants.

349
00:17:58.130 --> 00:18:04.609
But yet the left could care less. And if Congress

350
00:18:05.269 --> 00:18:09.339
and the Senate does not codify the border closure, I mean,

351
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.410
if the Democrats are to take over in 28, forget it.

352
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.319
All this is reversed. And the people, I mean, what

353
00:18:15.339 --> 00:18:17.920
a short memory they have for all the good things

354
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.059
that Trump has done with the big, beautiful bill, no

355
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:24.549
tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, people getting

356
00:18:25.029 --> 00:18:31.269
record highs in terms of their income tax returns. It's

357
00:18:31.309 --> 00:18:35.539
just amazing. But we're supposed to believe that Trump is

358
00:18:35.579 --> 00:18:36.099
a bad guy.

359
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.460
Well, and really the elephant in the living room, right,

360
00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:39.980
is the war with Iran.

361
00:18:41.069 --> 00:18:41.650
Right, exactly.

362
00:18:41.710 --> 00:18:47.049
I mean, that's really his albatross. I'm right now working

363
00:18:47.170 --> 00:18:49.890
on my syllabus for my Middle East politics course at

364
00:18:49.930 --> 00:18:52.730
Grove City College, and I had to add a whole

365
00:18:52.809 --> 00:18:58.099
section on the U.S. war with Iran, right? And I thought, wow, yeah,

366
00:18:58.220 --> 00:19:01.039
I really do have to address this. And I try

367
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:02.799
to think, Bill, how can I refer to this in

368
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.180
a neutral way? And I refer to it as something

369
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:09.220
like Donald Trump's quagmire that he's mired in with Iran.

370
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:12.940
And it really is. And it has gas prices really high.

371
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.220
And I know it's a shame. This is how people's

372
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.960
memories work, but it's always what's going on at the moment.

373
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:20.259
Yeah.

374
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:22.720
And I don't see this really, I don't know. I

375
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:24.539
don't see this turning around by November.

376
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:28.440
I don't either because he, he for some reason cannot

377
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:33.099
seem to channel Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson had the answer. And

378
00:19:33.500 --> 00:19:37.630
with the Barbary pirates, you can't negotiate with terrorists. And I,

379
00:19:37.940 --> 00:19:39.460
you know, you got to give it to him. You know,

380
00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:42.279
the Donald Trump is, you know, bent over backwards and

381
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.900
turned himself into a pretzel to try to find some resolution.

382
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:49.329
You can't find a resolution with people that want you dead.

383
00:19:50.390 --> 00:19:52.910
Well, the other one, he might channel George Washington, who

384
00:19:53.089 --> 00:19:55.509
warned about foreign quagmires, right?

385
00:19:55.930 --> 00:19:56.150
Yes.

386
00:19:56.369 --> 00:19:59.210
And in fact, that was really Trump in the first term.

387
00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:01.339
And that's what a lot of people thought they were

388
00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:04.380
getting again, is they thought that America first meant, I

389
00:20:04.410 --> 00:20:06.920
did too, right? That you wouldn't get pulled into something

390
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.859
like that. But he has gotten pulled into it. And,

391
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:13.519
you know, I'm as pro-Israel as you can get. I've

392
00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:16.900
always liked Netanyahu. But I think it is true, as

393
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:19.059
a lot of people on the right are saying that,

394
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:23.720
you know, Netanyahu helped get us into this. And Donald

395
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:28.359
Trump has not handled it deftly, right? He hasn't done

396
00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:30.789
it skillfully. And at first we thought it was going

397
00:20:30.809 --> 00:20:34.950
to be a limited intervention, helping Iran with like helping Israel,

398
00:20:34.990 --> 00:20:36.970
like a sort of bunker buster thing to get to

399
00:20:37.009 --> 00:20:40.369
where we're nuclear material that we were trying to get.

400
00:20:40.730 --> 00:20:43.670
But now instead, it's just this nonstop thing straight before

401
00:20:43.690 --> 00:20:47.809
it moves, gas prices. And I read online reader comments

402
00:20:47.849 --> 00:20:49.650
and people are like, you got to take out the

403
00:20:50.049 --> 00:20:54.309
Revolutionary Guard. You've got to decapitate. It's like, well, decapitate what?

404
00:20:54.430 --> 00:20:57.029
Negotiate with who? I mean, the Ayatollah is gone. Is

405
00:20:57.049 --> 00:20:58.670
his son alive?

406
00:20:58.930 --> 00:20:59.339
I don't know.

407
00:20:59.890 --> 00:21:04.440
Probably not. If he is, is he functional? So I

408
00:21:04.460 --> 00:21:06.059
don't know that there's a solution to it. I think

409
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:09.009
last time you and I talked, We were talking about

410
00:21:09.069 --> 00:21:12.109
Pope Leo and just war theory. And one of the

411
00:21:12.130 --> 00:21:14.950
criteria of just war theory is that you have to

412
00:21:15.009 --> 00:21:19.150
have clearly defined objectives and a reasonable chance of success.

413
00:21:20.019 --> 00:21:22.200
Right now, I feel like we don't really even have

414
00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:24.640
reasonably defined objectives, right?

415
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.640
Because you don't have a reasonably defined enemy and leader.

416
00:21:28.660 --> 00:21:29.019
Right, right.

417
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.829
That's the problem. And the thing is, is that, of course,

418
00:21:32.849 --> 00:21:35.569
the sentiment is we can't have boots on the ground. And,

419
00:21:35.730 --> 00:21:39.309
you know, for me being, you know, former military, you know,

420
00:21:39.349 --> 00:21:42.970
that's absurd. You know, you can't go you can't dictate

421
00:21:43.049 --> 00:21:46.190
war like this. The other side has a say in

422
00:21:46.230 --> 00:21:49.509
the execution of the war plan. And the other side

423
00:21:49.569 --> 00:21:51.950
is saying, hey, look, we want you to come in.

424
00:21:53.470 --> 00:21:58.039
That's what they want. They want a hand-to-hand combat operation.

425
00:21:58.410 --> 00:22:02.759
They want American soldiers or the IDF in the streets

426
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:04.619
there in Iran. That's what they want.

427
00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:08.319
Yeah. How do we finally get rid of Saddam Hussein?

428
00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:10.079
We had to go in with ground troops.

429
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:11.279
Right, exactly.

430
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.279
We had to go into Baghdad. In 1990-91, with the

431
00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:18.720
war with Kuwait, we didn't go into Iraq, and that

432
00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:21.920
was because George H.W. Bush had defined the objective as

433
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:24.859
pushing Iran Saddam Hussein's troops out of Kuwait he didn't

434
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:28.420
want to go beyond that and I appreciated that 2003

435
00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:30.740
George W Bush said you want to disarm Saddam you

436
00:22:30.779 --> 00:22:33.539
have to remove Saddam yes they went in we went

437
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:35.940
in with you know hundreds of thousands of ground troops

438
00:22:36.569 --> 00:22:38.589
and that's what we did you'd probably have to do

439
00:22:38.630 --> 00:22:40.450
that here they're not going to do it right now

440
00:22:40.809 --> 00:22:43.349
at this time of year given how hot it is

441
00:22:43.769 --> 00:22:46.549
with the Iranians you'd have to do it in a

442
00:22:46.650 --> 00:22:49.769
cooler time of year but even then I don't know

443
00:22:49.809 --> 00:22:52.819
that Trump has the will or the American people have

444
00:22:52.859 --> 00:22:57.200
the will to send American soldiers, boots on the ground,

445
00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.730
into Tehran. I don't know that they do. I doubt

446
00:22:59.769 --> 00:23:00.089
they do.

447
00:23:01.069 --> 00:23:04.390
But, Paul, this is what leadership does. Leadership gives you

448
00:23:04.410 --> 00:23:08.589
the vision, as uncomfortable as it would be, to get

449
00:23:08.630 --> 00:23:10.529
you to a place where you need to be in

450
00:23:10.630 --> 00:23:14.400
order to have national security. This has been going on

451
00:23:14.460 --> 00:23:18.720
for 47 years. They've killed over 1,000 Americans. They have

452
00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:22.490
terrorized the world. they have threatened to go nuclear. I mean,

453
00:23:22.529 --> 00:23:26.059
they've already demonstrated what kind of actors they would be

454
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:29.259
right now, and they don't even have a nuclear bomb.

455
00:23:29.339 --> 00:23:31.539
Imagine if they had nuclear weapons.

456
00:23:32.259 --> 00:23:33.039
Right, right.

457
00:23:33.099 --> 00:23:36.130
Yeah, no, that's right. And if they had a nuke,

458
00:23:36.190 --> 00:23:39.589
they wouldn't have the delivery capability to reach the United States,

459
00:23:39.750 --> 00:23:42.369
I doubt, but they'd have the ability to hit Israel.

460
00:23:42.990 --> 00:23:43.250
Right.

461
00:23:43.509 --> 00:23:47.579
Yeah, and that would be the main objective for sure.

462
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.259
Well, and the other thing, too, that is being underplayed

463
00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:53.119
here is the involvement of Russia and China and all this. Right.

464
00:23:53.140 --> 00:23:57.329
That's exactly right. Yeah. So right now, Donald Trump left

465
00:23:57.430 --> 00:24:00.690
after the first term with a foreign policy that every

466
00:24:00.829 --> 00:24:02.190
liberal should have loved.

467
00:24:02.769 --> 00:24:03.190
Right.

468
00:24:03.230 --> 00:24:06.380
But these people being what they are. could even credit

469
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:08.819
him with the Abraham Accords. I mean, imagine if Barack

470
00:24:08.859 --> 00:24:11.240
Obama had done the Abraham. They gave Barack Obama a

471
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.299
Nobel Peace Prize his first weeks in office when he

472
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:16.329
didn't even do anything. Obama's like, oh, I don't even

473
00:24:16.349 --> 00:24:19.589
know what I did. Did you serve this? He almost

474
00:24:19.630 --> 00:24:23.529
kind of mocked it. Trump spends four years, Jared Kushner,

475
00:24:23.589 --> 00:24:29.180
negotiating the Abraham Accords and nothing, right? No appreciation from

476
00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:29.920
the left at all.

477
00:24:30.390 --> 00:24:33.470
Right, exactly. They don't even want Trump's name on the

478
00:24:33.509 --> 00:24:36.200
Kennedy Center. I mean, Obama would have had his name

479
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:38.220
all over the place and they'd have probably given him

480
00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:41.079
a whole nother billion dollar library somewhere.

481
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:44.599
Right, just build a giant monument to himself there in Chicago.

482
00:24:44.619 --> 00:24:46.400
That's about the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

483
00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:47.609
Oh, can you believe that?

484
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:50.950
Cost a gazillion dollars too to build all that. And

485
00:24:51.009 --> 00:24:53.869
in his opening talk, he's once again talking about millionaires

486
00:24:53.930 --> 00:24:57.170
and billionaires and the American founders as men of property

487
00:24:57.230 --> 00:24:59.150
and men of wealth. It's like, dude, look at the

488
00:24:59.210 --> 00:25:02.289
monument you just built to yourself in Chicago, right? Look

489
00:25:02.309 --> 00:25:05.390
what that costs. Paid for by all your rich Hollywood buddies.

490
00:25:05.910 --> 00:25:09.490
Right, exactly. Not to mention the real estate portfolio that

491
00:25:09.529 --> 00:25:12.750
you have. But we won't talk about that. We got

492
00:25:12.769 --> 00:25:13.309
to leave it there.

493
00:25:13.329 --> 00:25:13.569
Dr.

494
00:25:13.589 --> 00:25:16.670

495
00:25:16.690 --> 00:25:19.190
the Institute for Faith and Freedom at Grove City College.

496
00:25:19.230 --> 00:25:21.509
Thank you, Paul. Take care. God bless. All right. Same

497
00:25:21.529 --> 00:25:21.950
to you, Bill.

498
00:25:22.009 --> 00:25:22.329
Take care.

499
00:25:23.349 --> 00:25:26.730
We call ourselves ASAP Travel for one reason. We can

500
00:25:26.769 --> 00:25:29.509
help you book a ticket ASAP. For those of you

501

569
00:29:29.289 --> 00:29:31.789
Hey, we're back with you. Bill Martinez here with Dr.

570
00:29:31.809 --> 00:29:33.730
John Samaric. Hey, John, how are we doing?

571
00:29:33.769 --> 00:29:34.869
Hey, Bill, doing well, thanks.

572
00:29:35.609 --> 00:29:37.430
Well, a lot's going on. I mean, this has been

573
00:29:37.450 --> 00:29:40.700
the week of weeks. Of course, we lost a a

574
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.240
musical icon in Dolly Parton. Did you ever get a

575
00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:44.859
chance to meet her?

576
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:46.859
No, no, I didn't.

577
00:29:47.380 --> 00:29:49.769
But I always thought she was just the most warm

578
00:29:49.829 --> 00:29:54.990
and wonderful, classically American figure. She literally grew up in

579
00:29:55.009 --> 00:29:58.319
a one-room shack with, I think, 11 siblings.

580
00:29:58.619 --> 00:30:01.359
Yeah, 11 or 12 or something.

581
00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:05.160
But her mother was so loving and made her feel

582
00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:08.980
so special that that kind of laid the groundwork for

583
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:13.420
her to have the confidence and the magnanimity to deploy

584
00:30:13.460 --> 00:30:17.150
her talent and build a business empire without making a

585
00:30:17.170 --> 00:30:19.849
long list of enemies, without stabbing people in the back,

586
00:30:19.890 --> 00:30:24.630
without being divisive. She never entered into politics. Republicans and

587
00:30:24.650 --> 00:30:27.480
Democrats both loved her and she would not get drawn in.

588
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.700
She is a piece of the old America, the America

589
00:30:34.259 --> 00:30:40.369
that we remember and that we love and that invaders

590
00:30:40.730 --> 00:30:46.089
and conspirators and foreigners who committed to terrorism and jihad,

591
00:30:46.650 --> 00:30:49.970
the America they're trying to undermine, the America that the

592
00:30:50.269 --> 00:30:55.970
Democrats are dismantling, that they're saying, is intrinsically racist, built

593
00:30:56.150 --> 00:31:03.200
on slavery and genocide. Dolly Parton in her one room

594
00:31:03.259 --> 00:31:08.119
shack with 11 siblings was a beneficiary of white privilege

595
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:12.960
and her children should have to pay reparations to African

596
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:16.700
migrants who came here 20 years ago and were never slaves.

597
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:23.549
Never picked any cotton for any American slave owner. It's

598
00:31:23.609 --> 00:31:27.509
important to remember what we love about this country and

599
00:31:27.589 --> 00:31:34.150
what built it as people within it, ungrateful, spoiled, rich kids, grabby,

600
00:31:34.650 --> 00:31:42.000
jihadi migrants, socialist politicians try to dismantle the wonderful country

601
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:43.880
that could produce someone like Dolly Parton.

602
00:31:44.710 --> 00:31:47.549
Exactly. And that's the whole deal. I mean, she is

603
00:31:47.769 --> 00:31:51.779
one of how many millions of success stories that, John,

604
00:31:51.819 --> 00:31:54.460
for all intents and purposes, I don't see another country

605
00:31:54.839 --> 00:32:00.009
that could have born and allowed somebody like Dolly Parton

606
00:32:00.369 --> 00:32:03.589
to exercise her gifts and and to bless so many people,

607
00:32:03.650 --> 00:32:06.549
not only with her talents, but also because of her

608
00:32:06.630 --> 00:32:10.109
business acumen, how many jobs that she created over her lifetime?

609
00:32:10.230 --> 00:32:10.529
Right.

610
00:32:10.890 --> 00:32:13.369
How many people are working at Dollywood?

611
00:32:13.549 --> 00:32:14.089
Dollywood.

612
00:32:14.109 --> 00:32:15.509
Yeah.

613
00:32:15.549 --> 00:32:15.910
Yeah.

614
00:32:16.250 --> 00:32:19.440
I've never been, I'm not a big country music person,

615
00:32:19.859 --> 00:32:23.140
but one of the country music icons who I recognized

616
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:26.559
and appreciated was Dolly Parton. So Dolly Parton could reach

617
00:32:26.619 --> 00:32:33.769
from truck drivers in West Virginia to to nerdy New

618
00:32:33.809 --> 00:32:37.569
York snobs like me and give us all something of

619
00:32:37.609 --> 00:32:39.250
a common culture that we could value.

620
00:32:39.890 --> 00:32:42.690
Well, and the thing is, what you appreciate about your

621
00:32:42.750 --> 00:32:48.240
heroes is that their profile and their personalities are exemplary.

622
00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:54.220
And they're the kind of profiles and personalities that you'd

623
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:56.200
want to embrace. You want to be around. You want

624
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:59.569
to be more like them. Like you said, Dolly was

625
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:03.529
able to navigate around some of these political issues. She

626
00:33:03.549 --> 00:33:06.089
was kind of like the female version of Michael Jordan,

627
00:33:06.890 --> 00:33:10.789
you know, whether she did it consciously or subconsciously, she

628
00:33:10.829 --> 00:33:13.730
just was a kind person. She came across, I had

629
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:17.559
a chance to meet her one time at occasion. And,

630
00:33:17.740 --> 00:33:21.640
you know, this sounds so, you know, turned up nosy

631
00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:24.220
kind of thing. I just happened to be invited at

632
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:26.839
a luncheon at the Beverly Hills hotel. And she was

633
00:33:26.900 --> 00:33:31.849
sitting just right behind me and just, And just a

634
00:33:31.890 --> 00:33:36.490
very short hello and the way she came across was

635
00:33:37.069 --> 00:33:40.750
similar to what you saw in interviews and in other

636
00:33:41.250 --> 00:33:44.549
interactions with people. Just very sweet, very kind.

637
00:33:45.170 --> 00:33:51.029
Very authentic. Mark Twain said it's best not to lie

638
00:33:51.049 --> 00:33:52.269
because you don't have to have such.

639
00:33:52.109 --> 00:33:52.730
A good memory.

640
00:33:52.890 --> 00:33:53.670
Right, exactly.

641
00:33:54.849 --> 00:33:59.849
If you're a public figure who's a genuinely kind person

642
00:34:01.150 --> 00:34:04.660
savvy but kind you can just be yourself you don't

643
00:34:04.700 --> 00:34:06.940
have to have a mask you don't have to manufacture

644
00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:09.579
a persona and remember to keep it up and then

645
00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:11.920
sometimes the mask drops and then you get an ugly

646
00:34:11.980 --> 00:34:14.940
story on social media that that didn't happen to dolly

647
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.780
because she was just herself right exactly it was a

648
00:34:17.780 --> 00:34:20.400
very good so very much informed by her christian faith

649
00:34:20.860 --> 00:34:24.980
this is the kind of person that a christian country

650
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:28.559
produces compare it to the kind of people that muslim

651
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:31.480
countries that communist countries produce.

652
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:32.199
Yeah.

653
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:35.219
Yeah, I mean, you know, to your point, what kind

654
00:34:35.260 --> 00:34:39.590
of example can a Muslim country point to and say, hey,

655
00:34:39.650 --> 00:34:40.429
here's our hero?

656
00:34:40.829 --> 00:34:45.230
I mean, and I don't... Heroes tend to be suicide bombers.

657
00:34:45.610 --> 00:34:50.510
Right, exactly. Yeah, so anyway, may she rest in peace.

658
00:34:50.809 --> 00:34:51.010
Yeah.

659
00:34:51.309 --> 00:34:54.829
And, you know, and of course her music will live

660
00:34:55.030 --> 00:35:00.010
on and, you know, her legacy, rightfully so. And thank God,

661
00:35:00.730 --> 00:35:03.429
thank God for America. That's all I can say, because

662
00:35:04.110 --> 00:35:06.449
I don't know of another country that could have produced

663
00:35:07.030 --> 00:35:11.659
somebody as iconic and special as one Dolly Parton. Well, John,

664
00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:13.599
you know, I mentioned to you before we got on

665
00:35:13.619 --> 00:35:17.320
the air that, you know, the report is, of course,

666
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:19.760
not from the mainstream media, certainly not from the left,

667
00:35:20.989 --> 00:35:23.610
but The U.S. Navy has cleared the Strait of Hormuz

668
00:35:23.949 --> 00:35:29.030
of all deadly Iranian sea mines. In addition, it has

669
00:35:29.090 --> 00:35:32.110
expanded the number of available channels that ships can safely

670
00:35:32.190 --> 00:35:35.750
travel through. One U.S. official declared, and I quote, the

671
00:35:35.849 --> 00:35:39.929
Iranians have lost control over the Strait. Now the U.S.

672
00:35:40.010 --> 00:35:43.409
controls it. That's good. That's good.

673
00:35:43.869 --> 00:35:46.329
And it's just the kind of thing. What is the

674
00:35:46.409 --> 00:35:49.429
long term? What is the long term plan? Is the

675
00:35:49.469 --> 00:35:52.380
long-term plan for the U.S. to permanently patrol the Strait

676
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.099
of Hormuz? Are we going to seize it? I really

677
00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:58.199
would like to know what the long-term plan is. I mean,

678
00:35:58.219 --> 00:36:01.760
it would be great to overthrow that wicked, tyrannical regime.

679
00:36:02.699 --> 00:36:05.130
But then again, remember, if you break it, you bought it.

680
00:36:05.500 --> 00:36:05.960
That's right.

681
00:36:06.219 --> 00:36:10.539
If that regime collapsed, it would be obviously America's responsibility

682
00:36:10.619 --> 00:36:14.360
to rebuild that country. And our country is not exactly

683
00:36:14.460 --> 00:36:17.780
swimming in wealth. We're not exactly with a bursting economy.

684
00:36:19.050 --> 00:36:24.309
This is why America first politicians, Donald Trump claimed to

685
00:36:24.349 --> 00:36:29.599
be when he ran for reelection, they say we shouldn't

686
00:36:29.619 --> 00:36:32.440
be invading the world and inviting the world. That was

687
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:36.599
precisely the hubris of George W. Bush and the neoconservatives,

688
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:41.179
that we're so strong, we're so powerful, we're so impenetrable

689
00:36:41.610 --> 00:36:44.250
that we can socially engineer the rest of the planet.

690
00:36:45.309 --> 00:36:47.670
We can't even get honest elections in Pennsylvania.

691
00:36:47.690 --> 00:36:51.130
Right, exactly. Exactly. Now, and I think that also, John,

692
00:36:51.150 --> 00:36:53.030
to your point, I think this is one of the

693
00:36:53.090 --> 00:36:55.780
reasons why Donald Trump hasn't just gone on and leveled

694
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:59.820
the place. Because if he did, I mean, you know,

695
00:36:59.860 --> 00:37:02.739
the bill for that, you talk about breaking it, would

696
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:03.980
just be exponential.

697
00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:07.980
And here's what concerns me most. Let's say this evil

698
00:37:08.019 --> 00:37:14.280
tyrannical regime is toppled. It has millions of supporters who,

699
00:37:14.570 --> 00:37:16.710
many of whom will leave the country and they will

700
00:37:16.750 --> 00:37:19.239
go to Europe and go on welfare and and open

701
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:22.300
up mosques and commit acts of terrorism and attack Christmas

702
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:27.900
markets and burn down churches, stop stirring the hornet's nest.

703
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:34.949
So if that regime were to collapse, Europe needs not

704
00:37:34.969 --> 00:37:38.030
to take any refugees because precisely the people who leave

705
00:37:38.369 --> 00:37:41.190
will be the people who want to impose Sharia law

706
00:37:41.610 --> 00:37:43.329
in Germany and France and Ireland.

707
00:37:43.690 --> 00:37:47.590
Well, this is why Egypt didn't want Hamas coming into

708
00:37:47.630 --> 00:37:50.519
their country. So look, you know these are bad actors.

709
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:56.059
My hope, John, like the same thing we discovered with Germany,

710
00:37:56.880 --> 00:38:00.699
it's maybe 10%, 15% of the population. So you got

711
00:38:00.739 --> 00:38:03.559
people there, if given the opportunity, would rise to the

712
00:38:03.619 --> 00:38:08.199
challenge and develop their country. You have to be mindful

713
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:10.980
of that 10%, 15% that are going to migrate, that

714
00:38:11.019 --> 00:38:14.460
somehow the international community is going to embrace and make

715
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:17.039
a way for them to go into these other nations

716
00:38:17.059 --> 00:38:19.500
and And torment the holy what have you out of them.

717
00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:21.639
Because this has been the pattern.

718
00:38:23.139 --> 00:38:25.119
Look at the so-called Syrian refugees.

719
00:38:25.219 --> 00:38:25.780
Exactly.

720
00:38:26.260 --> 00:38:29.590
Allegedly are in Germany because they were persecuted. They fly

721
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:31.119
back to Syria for vacation.

722
00:38:31.489 --> 00:38:31.679
Right.

723
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:35.150
But that should lapse your refugee status. Your visa is

724
00:38:35.309 --> 00:38:37.869
one way. You're not coming back to Germany. You're not

725
00:38:37.909 --> 00:38:39.570
coming back to France. If it's safe for you to

726
00:38:39.610 --> 00:38:42.369
go there, it's safe for you to stay there. Get

727
00:38:42.429 --> 00:38:47.000
your jihadi butt over there. European nations are going to

728
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:51.800
have to expel millions of fake refugees who are currently

729
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:55.199
clogging their welfare system, having seven, eight kids, three or

730
00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:59.659
four wives, and marching for Sharia law in Christian countries.

731
00:39:00.869 --> 00:39:03.449
Why can't we learn from these European countries that have

732
00:39:03.469 --> 00:39:09.030
proven time and time again, John, what these kind of decisions,

733
00:39:09.389 --> 00:39:10.269
what they produce?

734
00:39:12.250 --> 00:39:18.780
Because our politicians see that left-wing politicians in Europe are benefiting.

735
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:23.570
The politicians, the elites are benefiting. They're importing millions of safe,

736
00:39:23.789 --> 00:39:29.050
dependable voters who will vote for left-wing policies and vote

737
00:39:29.090 --> 00:39:33.199
for transparency abortion, all these things that conflict with Islam

738
00:39:33.219 --> 00:39:35.659
because they see the left as useful idiots.

739
00:39:36.179 --> 00:39:36.579
It's fine.

740
00:39:36.659 --> 00:39:39.659
Let the white people abort themselves. Let the white people

741
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:43.300
have transgender surgery so they can't have children. We're not

742
00:39:43.340 --> 00:39:49.030
going to do that. We're Then the Muslims will do

743
00:39:49.349 --> 00:39:50.570
to the left what they.

744
00:39:50.469 --> 00:39:51.170
Did in Iran.

745
00:39:51.309 --> 00:39:56.510
In Iran in 1979, the left and the Islamists combined

746
00:39:56.739 --> 00:40:00.519
to overthrow the Shah. And almost immediately, all the leftists

747
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:05.059
were shot or hanged or thrown into prison camps. That's

748
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:09.139
exactly what's going to happen if and when Muslims take

749
00:40:09.380 --> 00:40:12.659
over American states. The Democratic Party that they've used as

750
00:40:12.739 --> 00:40:15.269
a sock puppet will get thrown into the shredder.

751
00:40:15.619 --> 00:40:16.940
Can you say useful idiots?

00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:20.619
Everything is expensive right now. Gas, food, you name it.

767
00:41:20.889 --> 00:41:24.409
You're spending more. You are making the same or less money.

768
00:41:24.869 --> 00:41:27.750
So what do you do? You rack up credit card debt.

769
00:41:27.789 --> 00:41:31.550
That's what you do. It's not your fault. It's the economy.

770
00:41:31.909 --> 00:41:34.380
And guess what? If you rack up too much credit

771
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:37.019
card debt like some of us, you can't pay your bills.

772
00:41:37.420 --> 00:41:40.440
Then the credit card companies, as nice as they are,

773
00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:44.530
start hounding you for money. Then you start your downward spiral.

774
00:41:45.230 --> 00:41:47.289

Dr. John Zamerick is with us. He's the author of

815
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:26.380
No Second Amendment, No First, and The Politically Incorrect Guide

816
00:44:26.679 --> 00:44:30.239
to Catholicism, along with many other books. You know, John,

817
00:44:30.260 --> 00:44:32.719
you laid it out exactly right. This is what's going

818
00:44:32.780 --> 00:44:36.300
on because, you see, America is so fair-minded. We think

819
00:44:36.340 --> 00:44:38.090
if we're talking to somebody that they're just not going

820
00:44:38.110 --> 00:44:42.449
to blatantly lie. I mean, taqiyya is a value that

821
00:44:42.530 --> 00:44:46.530
Muslims believe and exercise. It's a means to an end.

822
00:44:46.650 --> 00:44:47.949
So they're going to lie to your face.

823
00:44:50.309 --> 00:44:54.329
That you can lie when you're speaking to non-Muslims because non-Muslims,

824
00:44:54.730 --> 00:44:55.590
you are at war with.

825
00:44:55.809 --> 00:44:56.650
It's a state of war.

826
00:44:57.389 --> 00:45:01.500
Muslims divide the world into two camps, the Dar al-Islam,

827
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:05.199
the house of Islam, the house of submission, and Dar al-Harb,

828
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:09.179
the realm of war. And they consider themselves, if they're

829
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:11.980
believing Muslims, to be at war with us. And it's

830
00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:15.519
their duty to conquer us and subjugate us because we

831
00:45:15.579 --> 00:45:20.690
are rebels against Allah. That is mainstream Muslim theology. Every

832
00:45:20.730 --> 00:45:24.130
Muslim who's Orthodox believes that. That is not some fringe

833
00:45:24.170 --> 00:45:27.730
terrorist thing. That is as central to Islam as the

834
00:45:27.809 --> 00:45:30.050
resurrection of Christ is to Christianity.

835
00:45:30.670 --> 00:45:36.440
Exactly. Well, John, so here we are, I think, getting

836
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:41.880
some positive news about what's coming out of Iran. Besson sanctions,

837
00:45:42.099 --> 00:45:44.579
you know, it could take some more time, no doubt.

838
00:45:45.300 --> 00:45:48.900
The report is that the military... And the local police

839
00:45:48.940 --> 00:45:50.469
are not being paid right now. I don't know how

840
00:45:50.510 --> 00:45:53.429
long they can put up with that. So, you know,

841
00:45:53.809 --> 00:45:57.929
it's a modern day siege work, so to speak. And

842
00:45:58.050 --> 00:46:00.710
like all siege works, it doesn't happen overnight, right?

843
00:46:01.369 --> 00:46:01.550
Right.

844
00:46:01.570 --> 00:46:03.670
Well, I just pray that it doesn't lose us the

845
00:46:03.710 --> 00:46:07.559
midterm elections, because as I've said here before, the Democrats

846
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:10.840
in America are worse than the mullahs in Tehran.

847
00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:11.980
Right.

848
00:46:12.019 --> 00:46:14.760
Their policies are even more evil and they're over here

849
00:46:15.059 --> 00:46:17.289
and they're on the verge of taking power. And if

850
00:46:17.329 --> 00:46:20.320
they win the Congress, if people listening to this show

851
00:46:20.340 --> 00:46:24.059
don't show up and vote Republican in the midterm elections,

852
00:46:24.860 --> 00:46:29.179
the Democrats take over Congress. It will be a two-year

853
00:46:29.219 --> 00:46:30.099
impeachment circus.

854
00:46:30.619 --> 00:46:30.880
Right.

855
00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:34.219
And they'll be investigating all Trump's officials. They'll be trying

856
00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:37.239
to put people in jail. The lawfare will start all

857
00:46:37.340 --> 00:46:41.360
over again. And America will be a blind, wounded giant

858
00:46:41.530 --> 00:46:45.030
thrashing around, trying to fend off its enemies from within

859
00:46:45.550 --> 00:46:49.309
and from without. So however demoralized you might be, however

860
00:46:49.389 --> 00:46:55.789
disappointed you might be that Trump's campaign promises haven't come true, remember,

861
00:46:55.969 --> 00:46:58.710
the alternative is unspeakably worse.

862
00:46:59.550 --> 00:47:01.800
Yeah, but look at what has come true, though, John.

863
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:05.059
I mean, and the thing is, is also look at

864
00:47:05.099 --> 00:47:08.480
it through the filter of now being $ 40 trillion in debt.

865
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:13.340
Just our interest payment alone is over $ 1. 1 trillion every year.

866
00:47:14.070 --> 00:47:17.349
So that's what we're paying to service the debt. And

867
00:47:17.389 --> 00:47:21.710
you tell me what plan, what are the Democrats? I

868
00:47:21.730 --> 00:47:26.219
don't care whatever moderate Democrats you want to conjure up

869
00:47:26.300 --> 00:47:31.360
or even certainly the DSA. What ideas have they presented

870
00:47:31.420 --> 00:47:36.099
to do anything about this debt? All they're talking about

871
00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:38.750
is spending more money. And you look at that $ 40

872
00:47:38.389 --> 00:47:42.639
trillion becoming $ 50 trillion. in short order under their regimes.

873
00:47:42.940 --> 00:47:45.539
They'll end up having to default on the debt or

874
00:47:45.940 --> 00:47:48.909
we'll end up having Weimar style hyperinflation where they just

875
00:47:49.010 --> 00:47:53.309
print money to liquidate the debt and everybody with savings

876
00:47:53.389 --> 00:47:54.010
goes broke.

877
00:47:54.489 --> 00:47:54.789
Right.

878
00:47:55.530 --> 00:47:59.809
Everybody just becomes a spendaholic, a spendthrift. That is literally

879
00:47:59.849 --> 00:48:02.610
what destroyed the Weimar Republic and led to the rise

880
00:48:02.710 --> 00:48:05.750
of a dictatorship, which of course the left is happy with.

881
00:48:05.829 --> 00:48:07.929
They would like to see us end up like Venezuela

882
00:48:08.309 --> 00:48:12.730
or Cuba. They say so themselves. Karen Hall, mayor of

883
00:48:12.750 --> 00:48:18.159
Los Angeles, went to Cuba to terrorist training camps. How

884
00:48:18.219 --> 00:48:20.139
is this woman not in a jail cell? How is

885
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:24.139
she mayor of a major city? Anyway, on a more

886
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:27.079
positive note, I've got some late summer reading that I

887
00:48:27.139 --> 00:48:30.989
want to recommend to people. A fantastic new novel called

888
00:48:31.230 --> 00:48:36.429
Oppenheimer's Demon. It's by Jeffrey Simmons. He is a medical

889
00:48:36.449 --> 00:48:43.340
doctor and a skilled, skilled writer. Oppenheimer's Demon, it imagines

890
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:48.179
that an elderly survivor of the Hiroshima bombing who was

891
00:48:48.219 --> 00:48:52.489
hideously scarred by the bomb decides to take revenge on America,

892
00:48:52.869 --> 00:48:56.369
manages to get hold of tactical nuclear weapons, and is

893
00:48:56.389 --> 00:48:58.849
going to launch them at the city of Chicago, which

894
00:48:58.909 --> 00:49:02.130
is where Oppenheimer did the pioneering research to split the

895
00:49:02.250 --> 00:49:06.030
atom that made the bomb possible. And it's a gripping

896
00:49:06.090 --> 00:49:09.650
page turner like a Michael Crichton novel where you see

897
00:49:10.329 --> 00:49:14.829
people trying to foil this horrible, this hideous revenge plot.

898
00:49:15.130 --> 00:49:19.969
And what's interesting about it is it raises the speculation.

899
00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:24.800
of artificial intelligence because they have to use, there's one

900
00:49:24.860 --> 00:49:27.789
witness who knows where the bomb is, but he's unconscious.

901
00:49:28.590 --> 00:49:31.690
And they had developed a technology in the novel, not

902
00:49:31.730 --> 00:49:35.809
for real yet, that you can probe somebody's brain and

903
00:49:36.010 --> 00:49:39.030
access his memories and get their AI can animate them

904
00:49:39.070 --> 00:49:42.190
so you can see what was in someone else's memory.

905
00:49:42.489 --> 00:49:46.010
That is a really, really creepy premise. And in the book,

906
00:49:46.070 --> 00:49:49.099
the heroes are the ones using this technology in order

907
00:49:49.139 --> 00:49:52.739
to try to save lives. Well, remember, the heroes of

908
00:49:52.780 --> 00:49:54.739
World War II were the ones who had to use

909
00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:57.760
nuclear weapons in order to save lives by ending the

910
00:49:57.780 --> 00:50:02.599
war with Japan. So that's what's really interesting. Good people

911
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:09.219
pioneering dangerous technologies in an emergency And then that technology

912
00:50:09.260 --> 00:50:11.039
is there and you're stuck with it the way we're

913
00:50:11.059 --> 00:50:14.940
stuck with nuclear weapons now. So Oppenheimer's Demon is a

914
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:18.260
real page turner. And it also goes into questions of

915
00:50:18.340 --> 00:50:22.849
intelligent design versus Darwinism. Because the author is a fellow

916
00:50:22.909 --> 00:50:27.769
at the Discovery Institute, the wonderful organization that promotes intelligent

917
00:50:27.809 --> 00:50:33.170
design as a scientific alternative to atheist scientific materialism. So

918
00:50:33.829 --> 00:50:37.710
there are debates about that. between different scientists in the novel.

919
00:50:37.869 --> 00:50:41.090
And it's done really well, really deftly in the context

920
00:50:41.130 --> 00:50:44.409
of extremely entertaining novels. So I like to, you know,

921
00:50:44.429 --> 00:50:46.590
we're always complaining about what comes out of Hollywood, what

922
00:50:46.630 --> 00:50:49.139
comes out of the publishing industry. Well, when something good

923
00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:52.159
comes along, we ought to promote it. So I think

924
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:53.219
you would enjoy it, though.

925
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:55.099
I think this sounds good. I'm going to go and

926
00:50:55.260 --> 00:50:56.260
Oppenheimer's Demon.

927
00:50:56.300 --> 00:50:57.079
It just came out.

928
00:50:57.420 --> 00:51:00.030
Well, that's good. OK, well, I'm getting my hands on it.

929
00:51:00.739 --> 00:51:05.489
About five minutes left here, John. You know, Abbey Gate.

930
00:51:06.110 --> 00:51:08.800
came back into the crosshairs a bit on the fifth

931
00:51:08.860 --> 00:51:13.019
anniversary when we lost in that horrific event 13 U.S.

932
00:51:13.059 --> 00:51:18.480
military personnel, as you'll recall, brutally murdered and was so revealing,

933
00:51:18.840 --> 00:51:21.929
Gary Bauer says, it was so revealing of the rot

934
00:51:21.949 --> 00:51:24.969
that had taken root in our military under Biden-Harris, as

935
00:51:25.010 --> 00:51:25.530
you'll recall.

936
00:51:25.550 --> 00:51:25.750
Oh, yeah.

937
00:51:26.030 --> 00:51:28.889
You know, good men and women died needlessly, but the

938
00:51:28.929 --> 00:51:31.369
Biden White House said there was no chaos, no one

939
00:51:31.409 --> 00:51:35.349
was held accountable, no one resigned in protest even. which

940
00:51:35.409 --> 00:51:37.949
is incredible because especially when you're talking about the military,

941
00:51:37.969 --> 00:51:42.619
there's generally some people in the military that would have

942
00:51:42.659 --> 00:51:46.960
the courage to take a stand against something so egregious. Well, finally,

943
00:51:46.980 --> 00:51:51.449
it looks like Pete Hexeth is doing, he's announced that

944
00:51:51.489 --> 00:51:54.730
Pentagon Senior Advisor Sean Parnell, who's a veteran of the

945
00:51:54.769 --> 00:51:57.530
war in Afghanistan, is going to lead a special review

946
00:51:57.570 --> 00:52:00.949
panel into the Abbey Gate bombing. And we say it

947
00:52:01.030 --> 00:52:02.030
is about time.

948
00:52:02.710 --> 00:52:06.579
Yeah, it's amazing to me. The Biden administration was able

949
00:52:06.619 --> 00:52:13.309
to do this squalid, humiliating surrender in Afghanistan, not leave

950
00:52:13.349 --> 00:52:16.289
in an orderly fashion, not take our weapons with us.

951
00:52:16.369 --> 00:52:20.610
We left behind enough. We left behind something like $ 90

952
00:52:20.010 --> 00:52:24.449
billion worth of military equipment, giving the Taliban the equivalent

953
00:52:24.530 --> 00:52:28.460
of one year of Russia's military budget. And the fact

954
00:52:28.500 --> 00:52:32.820
that our elites would not look into this, that the

955
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:33.860
media covered it.

956
00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:34.500
Up, the media.

957
00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:36.260
made it.

958
00:52:36.099 --> 00:52:39.239
Seem like it was all okay. It just shows that

959
00:52:39.300 --> 00:52:42.880
our elites have been corrupted. Our elites are so attached

960
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:48.639
to respectability and access to power and the perception of

961
00:52:48.699 --> 00:52:52.860
being tolerant and liberal and generous and magnanimous, and they're

962
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:54.539
willing to cover up hideous crimes.

963
00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:55.699
RFK Jr.

964
00:52:55.719 --> 00:53:00.179
Just released the fact that of how many vaccines use

965
00:53:00.469 --> 00:53:04.230
aborted babies, like pieces of the DNA of aborted babies

966
00:53:04.670 --> 00:53:08.619
are in these vaccines that are being promoted by the

967
00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:13.480
pharmaceutical industry. And you and I, we spoke out during

968
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:17.000
the COVID panic about how evil it was to use

969
00:53:17.079 --> 00:53:19.880
aborted babies to produce vaccines. Well, now it's coming out

970
00:53:19.940 --> 00:53:23.630
just how extensive that was. And it's also dangerous to

971
00:53:23.670 --> 00:53:26.849
have alien DNA floating around in your system with an

972
00:53:27.070 --> 00:53:34.139
mRNA device that produces genetic mutations. That is a cancer factory.

973
00:53:34.670 --> 00:53:37.889
I'm hearing more and more people getting weird turbo cancers.

974
00:53:38.369 --> 00:53:40.550
And the one thing they have in common, they all

975
00:53:40.610 --> 00:53:41.699
took the dead baby vaccine.

976
00:53:41.719 --> 00:53:45.840
They all got vaccinated. Yeah, exactly. Well, you know, talking more,

977
00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:47.440
you know, like what you're saying, more and more is

978
00:53:47.460 --> 00:53:52.239
being exposed here, you know, whether it's FBI documents and that.

979
00:53:52.300 --> 00:53:55.699
It's like that, you know, at the time, the FBI

980
00:53:55.719 --> 00:53:58.880
director had thought that they sealed them away. And then

981
00:53:58.900 --> 00:54:03.679
they were discovered by Dan Bongino and others. And same

982
00:54:03.719 --> 00:54:08.960
thing here with Parnell reporting that his staff recovered highly

983
00:54:09.099 --> 00:54:13.139
relevant classified documents, materials that should have been disclosed. Of course,

984
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:15.860
they weren't. They were stashed and hidden away in safes

985
00:54:16.159 --> 00:54:18.550
where they would not be found. I mean, it's like,

986
00:54:18.820 --> 00:54:21.090
how many safes do we have in our government that

987
00:54:21.130 --> 00:54:25.550
are hiding documentation of information that we, the people, should

988
00:54:25.590 --> 00:54:26.289
know about, John?

989
00:54:26.969 --> 00:54:29.489
We need to win the midterms and then wage two

990
00:54:29.530 --> 00:54:31.349
years of war against the deep state.

991
00:54:31.789 --> 00:54:31.969
Right.

992
00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:36.960
Because the American deep state is more dangerous to us

993
00:54:37.059 --> 00:54:40.400
than any foreign country. If the FBI turned up at

994
00:54:40.460 --> 00:54:42.699
my door, I would call a Mexican drug cartel to

995
00:54:42.760 --> 00:54:50.429
protect me from it. Because the Obama administration ruthlessly politicized

996
00:54:50.769 --> 00:54:53.889
our intelligence community and turned it into a secret police

997
00:54:54.349 --> 00:54:57.800
like they had. in East Germany or the Soviet Union.

998
00:54:57.949 --> 00:55:00.949
And that has not, the rod has not all been purged.

999
00:55:01.409 --> 00:55:02.250
I'm glad you said that.

1000
00:55:02.610 --> 00:55:04.949
Tulsi Gabbard did a great job, but she's gone now.

1001
00:55:05.349 --> 00:55:05.570
Right.

1002
00:55:06.070 --> 00:55:06.210
Yeah.

1003
00:55:06.250 --> 00:55:08.650
You can say that, you know, things have quieted down

1004
00:55:08.670 --> 00:55:11.159
a little bit, but that's only because, you know, Trump

1005
00:55:11.199 --> 00:55:14.000
is around and they're afraid of being exposed. But the

1006
00:55:14.039 --> 00:55:15.900
fact of the matter is, is that some of this

1007
00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:18.659
stuff just cannot, you know, be kept in the safe anymore.

1008
00:55:19.019 --> 00:55:20.719
It's falling out of these safes, right?

1009
00:55:20.960 --> 00:55:21.199
Yeah.

1010
00:55:21.539 --> 00:55:21.719
Yeah.

1011
00:55:21.739 --> 00:55:25.360
Well, there needs to be accountability. And I'm just terrified

1012
00:55:25.380 --> 00:55:28.880
by the prospect of a Democrat ever becoming president again,

1013
00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:31.989
because we see just how ruthless they were willing to

1014
00:55:32.030 --> 00:55:37.809
be under the Biden regime. He labeled half the country quasi-fascist.

1015
00:55:38.070 --> 00:55:39.969
When he made that Darth Vader speech in front of

1016
00:55:40.030 --> 00:55:44.150
Independence Hall, and he said all Trump supporters were quasi-fascist.

1017
00:55:44.809 --> 00:55:47.230
Hillary Clinton said that Trump supporters need to be sent

1018
00:55:47.250 --> 00:55:50.590
to re-education camps. This is the kind of thing we

1019
00:55:50.610 --> 00:55:54.610
hear coming out of North Korea. There is no mainstream

1020
00:55:54.989 --> 00:55:58.329
left anymore. The Democratic Party is no longer a mainstream

1021
00:55:58.369 --> 00:56:03.110
patriotic party. It's a huge extremist party like the Nazis

1022
00:56:03.170 --> 00:56:06.030
or the communists in Weimar Germany. And I'm really afraid

1023
00:56:06.070 --> 00:56:06.650
for the future.

1024
00:56:07.170 --> 00:56:08.510
Well, we got to leave it there. And of course,

1025
00:56:08.530 --> 00:56:11.110
we'll stay on top of it and details will follow.

1026
00:56:11.949 --> 00:56:12.219
Dr.

1027
00:56:12.260 --> 00:56:14.519
John Zimerick has been our guest. Thank you, John. Take care.

1028
00:56:14.539 --> 00:56:15.039
Have a great day.

1029
00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:15.940
God bless, Bill.

1030
00:56:16.610 --> 00:56:19.699
Do you have Medicare and do you use a CPAP machine?

1031
00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:23.760
This is a national health care alert regarding your CPAP supplies.

1032
00:56:24.099 --> 00:56:27.619
Using a clean CPAP mask and clean supplies is important

1033
00:56:27.639 --> 00:56:30.199
to staying healthy. The best way to make sure your

1034
00:56:30.280 --> 00:56:33.679
CPAP equipment is clean is to get new supplies. If

1035
00:56:33.719 --> 00:56:37.039
you have Medicare, we have great news. Medicare will pay

1036
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:40.590
for you to have new clean supplies every 90 days.

1037
00:56:40.869 --> 00:56:43.409
We'll even do all the paperwork for you to make

1038
00:56:43.530 --> 00:56:46.329
sure that there's little to no out-of-pocket cost to you.

1039
00:56:46.630 --> 00:56:48.789
And you don't even have to leave your home. We

1040
00:56:48.849 --> 00:56:52.750
provide free in-home delivery. So if you're a CPAP user

1041
00:56:52.889 --> 00:56:56.309
and you have Medicare, staying healthy with new CPAP equipment

1042
00:56:56.369 --> 00:56:59.219
is easy. Just make this free phone call right now

1043
00:56:59.239 --> 00:57:00.010

Bill Martinez live.

1049
00:57:28.690 --> 00:57:30.730
Hey, right now, six minutes after the top of the hour,

1050
00:57:30.789 --> 00:57:33.269
I am Bill Martinez. He's Scott Powell from the Discovery

1051
00:57:33.329 --> 00:57:35.309
Institute and the author. I'm going to be talking about

1052
00:57:35.369 --> 00:57:37.530
his new book here in just a moment. Hey, Scott,

1053
00:57:37.550 --> 00:57:39.199
how are you? I'm very well.

1054
00:57:39.219 --> 00:57:39.719
Thank you, Bill.

1055
00:57:40.039 --> 00:57:42.219
Good to be with you. Well, great to have you here.

1056
00:57:42.679 --> 00:57:45.329
I've been looking forward to this conversation because I've we

1057
00:57:45.369 --> 00:57:50.610
have been promoting and teasing people about 1776, rising America's

1058
00:57:51.050 --> 00:57:54.800
second war of independence, right? That's right. And so what

1059
00:57:54.840 --> 00:57:55.969
is that war of independence?

1060
00:57:57.199 --> 00:57:59.599
The war of independence is that we could be liberated

1061
00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:03.880
from falsehood and that we could, you know, have a

1062
00:58:03.940 --> 00:58:08.619
country that bases its thinking about all our institutions and

1063
00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:13.679
our people and our solutions based on the truth, hard facts.

1064
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:17.110
So much of our public policy is driven by false narratives.

1065
00:58:17.190 --> 00:58:19.650
That's a big problem. So that's what we want to have.

1066
00:58:20.789 --> 00:58:24.570
We want independent, independent thinking based on truth.

1067
00:58:25.250 --> 00:58:28.070
Exactly. Well, you say, what does it mean to stand

1068
00:58:28.130 --> 00:58:32.409
at America's 250th birthday and ask whether the nation will

1069
00:58:32.469 --> 00:58:36.460
see its 300th? And to your point. This is an

1070
00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:39.960
issue of integrity. I think that this has been speculated.

1071
00:58:40.659 --> 00:58:43.019
Some of these things have become very obvious in the

1072
00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:46.809
recent decades that we've got serious problems here with the

1073
00:58:46.849 --> 00:58:50.869
nation that are foundational. Yes, yes.

1074
00:58:51.369 --> 00:58:55.389
I mean, and foundational to our country is the vote.

1075
00:58:56.210 --> 00:58:59.929
It is the sovereignty of the people. How does any

1076
00:58:59.969 --> 00:59:04.239
nation that claims that the people are sovereign... How is

1077
00:59:04.280 --> 00:59:06.869
that manifest? It's got to be manifest through the people

1078
00:59:06.909 --> 00:59:10.619
being able to speak into their government and that's traditionally

1079
00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:14.860
done through elections. So the integrity of the election is

1080
00:59:15.139 --> 00:59:19.269
absolutely fundamental to the integrity of our country. If we

1081
00:59:19.309 --> 00:59:21.329
don't have honest elections, we don't.

1082
00:59:21.210 --> 00:59:24.929
Have a country. It's the consent of the governed. That's right.

1083
00:59:25.409 --> 00:59:33.840
If you compromise that consent... then you're a totalitarian regime then.

1084
00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:37.760
Well, I mean, one could argue that in some ways

1085
00:59:37.860 --> 00:59:43.159
we are, well, we've been moving in that direction. And

1086
00:59:43.179 --> 00:59:46.960
the fact that, I mean, you just listen to the

1087
00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:51.840
popular media. Now that we're approaching the midterm elections coming

1088
00:59:51.880 --> 00:59:55.429
very fast, time passes fast, we're only two months away, basically,

1089
00:59:55.449 --> 00:59:58.369
a little more than two months Well, now there's talk

1090
00:59:58.409 --> 01:00:03.389
about Donald Trump, who is an election integrity guy. You

1091
01:00:03.429 --> 01:00:05.750
may not agree with him about a lot of things,

1092
01:00:05.789 --> 01:00:09.309
but there's one thing I think we can recognize and acknowledge,

1093
01:00:09.369 --> 01:00:13.809
and that is he wants honest, fair elections that are

1094
01:00:13.869 --> 01:00:17.389
governed by simple rules that in order to vote, you

1095
01:00:17.429 --> 01:00:19.530
have to be a citizen. When you show up at

1096
01:00:19.570 --> 01:00:23.420
the polls, you have to have voter ID. And and

1097
01:00:23.920 --> 01:00:27.539
perhaps we should move away from machines because they're vulnerable

1098
01:00:27.659 --> 01:00:31.320
to manipulation, to acting. So we ought to have paper

1099
01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:32.679
ballots like we used to.

1100
01:00:32.699 --> 01:00:32.769
Yes.

1101
01:00:33.940 --> 01:00:36.320
Like the nation of France has and they get their

1102
01:00:36.420 --> 01:00:37.699
election results same day.

1103
01:00:38.340 --> 01:00:42.449
Paper ballots. Yeah. Not like in California that maybe three

1104
01:00:42.489 --> 01:00:45.250
weeks or when we say we when we say it is. Yeah.

1105
01:00:47.219 --> 01:00:51.760
And reform of the mail-in ballot system. There needs to

1106
01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:54.559
be a provision for servicemen and other people that are

1107
01:00:54.699 --> 01:00:55.380
out of the country.

1108
01:00:55.500 --> 01:00:56.679
OK, we can handle that.

1109
01:00:57.280 --> 01:01:00.780
But we can't just manage to a low common denominator,

1110
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:06.159
which says that anyone can get an absentee ballot. The

1111
01:01:06.179 --> 01:01:09.829
mail-in ballots and the extended vote time and counting are sure.

1112
01:01:11.630 --> 01:01:15.670
They lend itself to election malfeasance, period.

1113
01:01:16.699 --> 01:01:20.300
On so many levels, Scott, it's common sense. If you

1114
01:01:20.460 --> 01:01:22.909
ask people and say, OK, if you were in charge

1115
01:01:23.070 --> 01:01:26.289
and you needed to secure the vote, what would you do?

1116
01:01:28.090 --> 01:01:32.309
You know, outside of the political haggling and all this

1117
01:01:32.349 --> 01:01:35.369
stuff and the fussing and fighting of those on the left,

1118
01:01:35.809 --> 01:01:38.179
it's just let's just do some certain like how about

1119
01:01:38.219 --> 01:01:41.219
voter ID? You got 80 percent of the country agrees

1120
01:01:41.559 --> 01:01:43.019
voter ID, not a problem.

1121
01:01:43.500 --> 01:01:43.719
Right.

1122
01:01:43.940 --> 01:01:44.179
Right.

1123
01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:44.659
Yes.

1124
01:01:45.300 --> 01:01:45.619
Yes.

1125
01:01:46.139 --> 01:01:46.300
Yes.

1126
01:01:47.019 --> 01:01:50.619
So all these things, but again, the people, and you

1127
01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:53.389
said something really critical here from the start, and that

1128
01:01:53.469 --> 01:01:57.050
is the people need to wake up and appreciate that

1129
01:01:57.269 --> 01:02:01.309
their vote matters and it needs to be sacred and

1130
01:02:01.409 --> 01:02:06.110
protected and honored no matter what, right? Absolutely, Bill.

1131
01:02:06.150 --> 01:02:09.320
It's really simple and you have stated it so clearly,

1132
01:02:09.800 --> 01:02:12.760
but you listen to the media today or any day

1133
01:02:12.820 --> 01:02:15.460
in the recent, and it won't change up until November

1134
01:02:15.940 --> 01:02:20.139
election day, What is the major media saying? They're making

1135
01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:24.280
the argument that Donald Trump, through his executive order, you know,

1136
01:02:24.340 --> 01:02:28.079
based on national security, that's the latest thing that we

1137
01:02:28.139 --> 01:02:31.210
think is going to happen because it's too late for

1138
01:02:31.230 --> 01:02:35.389
the Save America Act to really, even if the Senate

1139
01:02:35.429 --> 01:02:38.250
comes back and votes it through, it's too late for

1140
01:02:38.269 --> 01:02:41.349
it really to be honored. You know, it'll be, first

1141
01:02:41.369 --> 01:02:42.800
of all, it'll be contested in court.

1142
01:02:42.820 --> 01:02:43.510
It'll be held up.

1143
01:02:45.380 --> 01:02:55.639
A merge... A national emergency based on a national security order,

1144
01:02:55.780 --> 01:02:58.280
if you will. I don't know what the right term is,

1145
01:02:58.320 --> 01:03:02.489
but it is immune from being challenged by the courts.

1146
01:03:02.570 --> 01:03:05.789
It can only be challenged by a two-thirds vote of

1147
01:03:05.829 --> 01:03:09.809
the House and the Senate. So if Trump issues such

1148
01:03:10.050 --> 01:03:14.199
an emergency order and he'll basically say what's in the order,

1149
01:03:14.340 --> 01:03:18.030
how the election should be run, it It's a pretty

1150
01:03:18.090 --> 01:03:20.989
sure thing that it can't be challenged. And that's what

1151
01:03:21.030 --> 01:03:23.590
he's thinking about doing. Wayne Allen Root has been pushing

1152
01:03:23.630 --> 01:03:26.289
him to do this. You may have heard about it.

1153
01:03:26.869 --> 01:03:30.650
And it is, I won't call it a last resort.

1154
01:03:30.690 --> 01:03:32.869
It could have been the first resort. But, you know,

1155
01:03:32.909 --> 01:03:35.849
Trump wanted to get the Congress to do its job

1156
01:03:35.969 --> 01:03:38.349
and it failed. Right.

1157
01:03:38.369 --> 01:03:38.550
Right.

1158
01:03:39.130 --> 01:03:41.530
Yeah, really, exactly. I mean, they decided to leave town.

1159
01:03:41.670 --> 01:03:44.690
They're gone for five weeks, Scott. I mean, with something

1160
01:03:44.769 --> 01:03:48.590
so significant as this hanging in the balance. Oh, I agree.

1161
01:03:48.630 --> 01:03:48.789
Yeah.

1162
01:03:49.110 --> 01:03:52.869
So anyway, so but what we're going to hear in

1163
01:03:52.889 --> 01:03:55.949
the major media, we're already hearing it, is that Trump,

1164
01:03:57.230 --> 01:04:00.789
you know, the dictator Trump is trying to rig the

1165
01:04:00.849 --> 01:04:06.150
elections by this national security order. No, he's not trying

1166
01:04:06.190 --> 01:04:08.050
to rig it. He's trying to protect it.

1167
01:04:08.760 --> 01:04:08.949
Right.

1168
01:04:09.340 --> 01:04:12.079
But the narrative will be that Trump's the bad guy.

1169
01:04:12.139 --> 01:04:15.519
Here he goes again, manipulating, you know, getting his way.

1170
01:04:16.820 --> 01:04:19.090
Well, listen to what Alyssa Slotkin had to say.

1171
01:04:19.190 --> 01:04:19.690
Right, Scott?

1172
01:04:20.610 --> 01:04:25.230
She said that if the SAVE Act passed, that essentially,

1173
01:04:25.309 --> 01:04:28.690
I mean, in so many words, that it would be

1174
01:04:28.869 --> 01:04:32.480
a very difficult situation, if not impossible, for a Democrat

1175
01:04:32.500 --> 01:04:33.900
to ever be elected to office.

1176
01:04:35.420 --> 01:04:35.699
Right.

1177
01:04:36.159 --> 01:04:39.960
I've heard that. I mean, it's true that there'll be

1178
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:43.570
a lot of Democrats who cannot who can't get into

1179
01:04:43.730 --> 01:04:47.090
office without a vote fraud. They can't.

1180
01:04:48.090 --> 01:04:49.349
Would it be all of them? No.

1181
01:04:49.449 --> 01:04:52.579
But anyway, it'd be a large number, you know, and.

1182
01:04:53.260 --> 01:04:58.099
But think about that statement, that conclusion, Scott, that you

1183
01:04:58.440 --> 01:05:02.780
just said that more and more people realize, even younger people, Scott,

1184
01:05:03.139 --> 01:05:06.489
they're seeing the manipulation, they're seeing the fraud of it

1185
01:05:06.550 --> 01:05:09.210
all and going, hey, look, I don't want anything to

1186
01:05:09.250 --> 01:05:11.940
do with either one of the parties. I'm just going to,

1187
01:05:12.889 --> 01:05:17.139
you know, I'll declare myself as an independent and maybe

1188
01:05:17.179 --> 01:05:19.380
I'll vote, maybe I won't vote. But they're, you know,

1189
01:05:19.679 --> 01:05:24.630
they're getting increasingly fed up with all this deception and

1190
01:05:24.730 --> 01:05:25.670
lack of integrity.

1191
01:05:26.250 --> 01:05:28.969
And this is really part of the communist strategy, the

1192
01:05:29.150 --> 01:05:33.179
long-established understanding of the way the communists work. And this

1193
01:05:33.219 --> 01:05:37.179
is not new. Yuri Bezmenov explained it in the 1980s,

1194
01:05:37.719 --> 01:05:42.199
that the communists have a four-step way of getting power.

1195
01:05:42.300 --> 01:05:45.659
And the first step is that they demoralize the people.

1196
01:05:46.179 --> 01:05:48.690
So they challenge all the institutions. Isn't that where we

1197
01:05:48.769 --> 01:05:51.809
are now? I mean- We can't define who a woman is.

1198
01:05:55.429 --> 01:05:59.429
We can't trust our institutions anymore. So people are a

1199
01:05:59.429 --> 01:06:04.349
little bit demoralized. The next stage is destabilization. And the

1200
01:06:04.389 --> 01:06:08.829
destabilization is kind of a continuation. But ultimately, there's a

1201
01:06:08.929 --> 01:06:12.829
crisis event. And it's the crisis event that opens the

1202
01:06:12.869 --> 01:06:17.139
door to the communist power structure coming to pass. So

1203
01:06:18.349 --> 01:06:21.050
You could argue that we've already been through a crisis.

1204
01:06:21.130 --> 01:06:25.659
The crisis was the election in 2020, which was stolen.

1205
01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:33.780
That's a crisis. But luckily, luckily, we have an amazing president,

1206
01:06:33.820 --> 01:06:36.500
Donald Trump, a man of character who does not give

1207
01:06:36.579 --> 01:06:40.969
up easily. He resurrected himself and ran again in 24

1208
01:06:40.969 --> 01:06:41.409
and one.

1209
01:06:41.429 --> 01:06:42.889
I mean, he did the impossible.

1210
01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:47.500
Millions of people of all ages have speech, language or

1211
01:06:47.539 --> 01:06:51.420
hearing difficulties. A new national poll finds that communication breakdowns

1212
01:06:51.659 --> 01:06:54.610
frequently occur between caregivers and the people in their care,

1213
01:06:54.829 --> 01:06:57.210
causing an array of potentially serious problems.

1214
01:06:57.610 --> 01:06:57.849
U.S.

1215
01:06:57.869 --> 01:07:01.429
Caregivers of adults with communication difficulties were polled. The American

1216
01:07:01.469 --> 01:07:06.039
Speech-Language Hearing Association, ASHA, commissioned the poll, and YouGov conducted it.

1217
01:07:06.360 --> 01:07:09.960
The poll revealed caregivers are concerned that communication breakdowns could

1218
01:07:09.980 --> 01:07:13.199
hinder addressing medical problems and cause other safety issues that

1219
01:07:13.239 --> 01:07:15.059
put at risk the health of the person in need

1220
01:07:15.099 --> 01:07:17.840
of care. ASHA President, Linda Rosa Lugo.

1221
01:07:18.219 --> 01:07:22.159
Care from an audiologist or a speech-language pathologist can improve

1222
01:07:22.239 --> 01:07:26.519
daily life for those with communication disorders and for their caregivers.

1223
01:07:26.900 --> 01:07:30.260
Ask their doctor or others on their team for a referral.

1224
01:07:30.550 --> 01:07:33.570
The care is often covered by insurance, at least in

1225
01:07:33.630 --> 01:07:37.030
some capacity, and it can truly be life-altering.

1283
01:11:17.420 --> 01:11:20.699
Well, we're talking with Scott Powell. Scott is a senior

1284
01:11:20.739 --> 01:11:25.220
fellow at the Discovery Institute. His previous book, Timeless As

1285
01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:28.880
It Is and Continues to Remain So, Rediscovering America. And

1286
01:11:28.979 --> 01:11:31.270
on the heels of that book and the success of it,

1287
01:11:31.619 --> 01:11:34.640
we've got his brand new book that we're talking about,

1288
01:11:34.640 --> 01:11:39.470
1776 Rising, right? Yes.

1289
01:11:39.510 --> 01:11:43.229
And, you know, I don't just diagnose the problems of America.

1290
01:11:43.270 --> 01:11:48.859
We all pretty much know them. I really talk about

1291
01:11:49.020 --> 01:11:52.800
what the real solutions are and the real solutions to

1292
01:11:52.899 --> 01:11:58.199
most of our problems are a return to the fundamental values,

1293
01:11:58.260 --> 01:12:02.069
the fundamental truths that are behind the founding of our country.

1294
01:12:02.609 --> 01:12:05.430
You know, the earliest settlers who came to America that

1295
01:12:05.489 --> 01:12:10.750
crossed that great dangerous ocean and established 13 colonies were

1296
01:12:10.989 --> 01:12:17.130
all Christians. They were led by Christians. This the colony charters,

1297
01:12:17.310 --> 01:12:20.270
and then the subsequent state charters, you know, sort of

1298
01:12:20.289 --> 01:12:28.369
an explanation of their state government, all acknowledge that, you know,

1299
01:12:28.789 --> 01:12:33.010
they all give an acknowledgement and gratitude to God. This

1300
01:12:33.069 --> 01:12:36.729
was the foundation of America, a recognition that God has

1301
01:12:36.770 --> 01:12:40.060
given us our freedom, and we're very grateful that we

1302
01:12:40.100 --> 01:12:45.699
can live in this new world relatively free unencumbered and

1303
01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:48.819
unentangled with all the corruption that was left behind in Europe.

1304
01:12:49.539 --> 01:12:53.430
Exactly. Well, and I like that you quoted George Washington,

1305
01:12:53.449 --> 01:12:57.350
John Adams, in their own farewell warnings to the nation,

1306
01:12:57.869 --> 01:13:01.430
that a constitutional republic cannot long survive the loss of

1307
01:13:01.449 --> 01:13:04.350
the moral and religious people who built it.

1308
01:13:04.970 --> 01:13:05.229
Yes.

1309
01:13:05.680 --> 01:13:09.060
And that's what we're seeing up close on every level.

1310
01:13:09.979 --> 01:13:17.430
You know, when you lose your moral orientation, the respect

1311
01:13:17.529 --> 01:13:21.680
for God, which is the respect for his laws, his order,

1312
01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:23.600
you know, God is a God of law and order.

1313
01:13:23.680 --> 01:13:26.560
He's a God of freedom, but that freedom has to

1314
01:13:26.600 --> 01:13:29.340
be governed. It has to have boundaries.

1315
01:13:29.359 --> 01:13:31.220
It has laws.

1316
01:13:32.220 --> 01:13:35.720
And when we lose the moral foundation, lo and behold,

1317
01:13:37.159 --> 01:13:40.000
we find that our laws are no longer working very well.

1318
01:13:40.020 --> 01:13:44.289
We have We have individuals, for instance, who are resisting ICE.

1319
01:13:45.250 --> 01:13:49.210
ICE is really a law enforcement agency, nothing less than that.

1320
01:13:49.710 --> 01:13:53.569
And it focuses on illegal immigration. And their job is

1321
01:13:53.670 --> 01:13:58.510
to identify and remove illegal immigrants. That's a law and

1322
01:13:58.590 --> 01:13:59.270
order issue.

1323
01:13:59.750 --> 01:14:02.890
Which was a mandate of the American people to Donald Trump.

1324
01:14:02.970 --> 01:14:03.869
That's right.

1325
01:14:04.350 --> 01:14:06.909
Get these guys out of here. I mean, you know,

1326
01:14:07.029 --> 01:14:10.140
in the numbers somewhere, I mean, 10, 20 million people.

1327
01:14:10.500 --> 01:14:13.359
That's just what Joe Biden let in. That's not counting

1328
01:14:13.420 --> 01:14:15.260
the previous 25 million.

1329
01:14:15.739 --> 01:14:18.100
Well, if we could just get rid of the latest wave,

1330
01:14:18.159 --> 01:14:20.770
I think we'd be okay. Because most of the others

1331
01:14:20.819 --> 01:14:24.149
that have been here a long time, they're either in

1332
01:14:24.210 --> 01:14:29.470
jail if they were, you know, crooks or, you know,

1333
01:14:30.149 --> 01:14:33.149
or they've integrated themselves, you know, into the economy and

1334
01:14:33.609 --> 01:14:38.010
they're living an American life. But the latest wave is

1335
01:14:38.050 --> 01:14:43.670
the most troubling one because, you know, so many subversive

1336
01:14:43.750 --> 01:14:47.090
people came to, you know, came to get into our

1337
01:14:47.130 --> 01:14:51.850
country for nefarious reasons. I mean, drug cart, you know, drug, look,

1338
01:14:51.939 --> 01:14:56.319
our drug problem is a border problem. The cartels operate

1339
01:14:56.399 --> 01:14:59.640
over our borders now. They rig elections in Arizona.

1340
01:15:00.180 --> 01:15:00.439
Right.

1341
01:15:00.500 --> 01:15:05.819
The Arizona elections are rigged by way of cartel money.

1342
01:15:06.989 --> 01:15:07.149
Yeah.

1343
01:15:08.149 --> 01:15:08.329
Right.

1344
01:15:08.569 --> 01:15:12.010
Exactly. Well, and, and the other thing to consider here, Scott,

1345
01:15:12.529 --> 01:15:16.810
is that, um, you know, Donald Trump inherited this. He

1346
01:15:16.829 --> 01:15:20.109
didn't create it just like everything else that we're dealing with.

1347
01:15:20.149 --> 01:15:22.180
You know, the whole thing that all is wrapped up

1348
01:15:22.260 --> 01:15:26.180
into that bow called affordability. Well, it was the Democrats

1349
01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:29.600
and the Biden administration. And even before then Barack Obama,

1350
01:15:30.020 --> 01:15:31.880
if you go back and see the damage that he

1351
01:15:31.920 --> 01:15:35.909
did to the economy and, uh, And Trump has been

1352
01:15:35.989 --> 01:15:41.430
trying to fix it now over one and a half administrations.

1353
01:15:42.270 --> 01:15:45.689
And the Democrats are doing everything they can to keep

1354
01:15:45.729 --> 01:15:49.520
the fraud game going because they benefit from it. People

1355
01:15:49.600 --> 01:15:52.560
do that which they benefit from. And it's clear. I mean,

1356
01:15:52.579 --> 01:15:56.739
that's the clear dividing line, Scott. When you look at

1357
01:15:56.779 --> 01:16:00.439
these things and you say, why are the Democrats supporting this? Well,

1358
01:16:00.460 --> 01:16:03.970
because they benefit from it. They get reelected. That's how

1359
01:16:04.010 --> 01:16:07.170
they get reelected, is they find a way to get

1360
01:16:07.289 --> 01:16:13.670
into the Treasury. They did it with all these government entities,

1361
01:16:15.289 --> 01:16:19.670
you know, these non... The NGOs and the agencies.

1362
01:16:19.909 --> 01:16:20.130
Right.

1363
01:16:20.409 --> 01:16:22.010
I mean, this is, you know, you could argue that

1364
01:16:22.050 --> 01:16:25.899
the government agencies are not constitutional. There was no provision

1365
01:16:25.939 --> 01:16:30.079
in the Constitution to create all these departments that can create...

1366
01:16:30.539 --> 01:16:33.739
you know, they are vested with the power to regulate,

1367
01:16:33.819 --> 01:16:36.699
which is to say the power of, they can make law,

1368
01:16:37.199 --> 01:16:40.829
they can make regulatory law, and they are unaccountable to

1369
01:16:40.850 --> 01:16:43.850
the American people. So then we wonder, you know, why

1370
01:16:43.869 --> 01:16:48.289
are our resources all tied up? Because the environmentalists, you know,

1371
01:16:48.829 --> 01:16:51.649
have taken over the Department of Interior. They've taken over,

1372
01:16:52.970 --> 01:16:58.430
you know, the Environmental Protection Agency. Literally, that is what

1373
01:16:58.449 --> 01:17:01.220
has happened to our country. And so, Here we are

1374
01:17:01.239 --> 01:17:05.779
dependent upon China for all of our rare earth materials

1375
01:17:05.850 --> 01:17:10.109
for our defense and high-tech industry. We're dependent upon China

1376
01:17:10.149 --> 01:17:14.789
for the basic ingredients that the pharmaceutical companies need. We

1377
01:17:14.810 --> 01:17:18.210
don't make those anymore. We've offshored all this manufacturing.

1378
01:17:18.829 --> 01:17:19.090
Right.

1379
01:17:20.229 --> 01:17:24.470
Partially because the agencies have played a role in hurting

1380
01:17:24.909 --> 01:17:29.569
and sort of shutting down you know, our economy, our

1381
01:17:29.750 --> 01:17:31.329
access to resources.

1382
01:17:31.670 --> 01:17:34.760
Exactly. And here we are, $ 40 trillion in debt and counting.

1383
01:17:35.500 --> 01:17:40.279
You know, our interest payment alone, Scott, is over a

1384
01:17:40.340 --> 01:17:42.060
trillion dollars. Think about that.

1385
01:17:42.819 --> 01:17:43.279
Oh, yeah.

1386
01:17:43.380 --> 01:17:46.939
Annually, yeah. It's considerably over it now. It's up there

1387
01:17:46.960 --> 01:17:49.270
around a million, a trillion two.

1388
01:17:49.810 --> 01:17:50.119
Right.

1389
01:17:50.529 --> 01:17:54.630
And, you know, and we add, we're adding $ 2 trillion

1390
01:17:54.670 --> 01:17:55.350
a year to the debt.

1391
01:17:58.189 --> 01:17:58.390
Yeah.

1392
01:17:59.189 --> 01:18:02.130
Yeah, there's no, I mean, and the thing is so funny,

1393
01:18:02.250 --> 01:18:05.720
I say funny because it's so silly, is that the

1394
01:18:05.779 --> 01:18:09.000
politicians want you to believe that, you know, their idea

1395
01:18:09.100 --> 01:18:13.640
of a deduction or a... a reduction in, uh, in

1396
01:18:13.699 --> 01:18:17.500
our debt is something they project 10 years from now. And,

1397
01:18:17.939 --> 01:18:21.960
and it really isn't whatsoever because they play all this silly, uh,

1398
01:18:21.989 --> 01:18:25.170
Washington DC math and try to think as, you know,

1399
01:18:25.390 --> 01:18:27.869
try to convince us that they're doing something about it.

1400
01:18:27.930 --> 01:18:28.449
And they're not.

1401
01:18:28.729 --> 01:18:32.850
Let me explain very simply and clearly about how this works.

1402
01:18:33.430 --> 01:18:36.510
You know, it was Warren Buffett who reminded us of

1403
01:18:36.550 --> 01:18:38.689
the power of compound insurance. There was one of that

1404
01:18:38.840 --> 01:18:47.470
hidden virtues of of a well-managed investment program, okay? Your

1405
01:18:47.569 --> 01:18:51.210
investments create interest, they create dividends, in the case of stocks.

1406
01:18:51.810 --> 01:18:56.229
If you reinvest those all the time, your asset base

1407
01:18:56.310 --> 01:19:00.600
keeps growing and the income stream from that growing asset

1408
01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:07.479
keeps growing. That's a virtuous cycle. The opposite would be

1409
01:19:07.979 --> 01:19:11.699
that you're operating on debt, And in order to pay

1410
01:19:11.760 --> 01:19:13.779
the debt, you have to borrow more money to pay

1411
01:19:13.819 --> 01:19:17.000
the interest on the already existing debt. So you're creating

1412
01:19:17.140 --> 01:19:20.239
new debt that also has to be serviced and you're

1413
01:19:20.260 --> 01:19:22.520
digging your hole and you'll.

1414
01:19:22.380 --> 01:19:23.140
Never get out of it.

1415
01:19:23.159 --> 01:19:25.239
And that's where we are now. Right.

1416
01:19:25.579 --> 01:19:28.920
You know, we have to borrow money to service the

1417
01:19:28.960 --> 01:19:31.199
existing $ 40 trillion of debt.

1418
01:19:31.399 --> 01:19:32.319
We have to borrow.

1419
01:19:32.800 --> 01:19:33.020
Right.

1420
01:19:33.140 --> 01:19:34.899
And it's getting to the point that those that we

1421
01:19:34.939 --> 01:19:38.270
go to to borrow money are saying, I'm not sure

1422
01:19:38.279 --> 01:19:41.909
you're a good investment any longer, right? Absolutely. That day

1423
01:19:41.970 --> 01:19:42.449
is coming.

1424
01:19:42.510 --> 01:19:47.069
It's coming sooner than we think. The first country that

1425
01:19:47.090 --> 01:19:50.670
will fail on their government debt is probably Japan. They

1426
01:19:50.710 --> 01:19:55.439
have the worst condition of any industrialized country. They have

1427
01:19:55.479 --> 01:19:59.600
a ratio of 300% debt to GDP. Ours is about

1428
01:19:59.600 --> 01:20:05.659
125% debt to GDP. And we're sort of protected because

1429
01:20:05.680 --> 01:20:08.649
we're the reserve currency. So we can get away we

1430
01:20:08.670 --> 01:20:11.430
can get away with more than other nations can because

1431
01:20:11.489 --> 01:20:14.789
everybody needs dollars to run their economy.

1432
01:20:15.529 --> 01:20:19.329
Although there are some that are branching off. Saudi Arabia

1433
01:20:19.369 --> 01:20:24.069
and others. China, of course, and Russia. They want to

1434
01:20:24.090 --> 01:20:26.710
deal in their own currency and no longer in the

1435
01:20:26.750 --> 01:20:28.489
American dollar. So we've been able to get away with it.

1436
01:20:28.840 --> 01:20:31.319
The bottom line here with about 35 seconds left, Scott,

1437
01:20:32.220 --> 01:20:34.199
going back to what you were saying earlier, and the

1438
01:20:34.239 --> 01:20:37.630
Bible's real clear. is that if you turn your back

1439
01:20:37.710 --> 01:20:40.180
on God, you basically are going to render yourself stupid.

1440
01:20:40.640 --> 01:20:42.920
So when you think of where America is right now,

1441
01:20:42.979 --> 01:20:47.079
that it's become so secularized, and look at the intelligent

1442
01:20:47.159 --> 01:20:50.239
quotient of that since we've turned our back on God,

1443
01:20:50.560 --> 01:20:53.069
it's quite obvious that this is of our own making.

1444
01:20:53.489 --> 01:20:54.670
We've dumbed ourselves down.

1445
01:20:55.710 --> 01:20:56.229
We have.

1446
01:20:56.449 --> 01:20:56.850
We have.

1447
01:20:57.250 --> 01:20:59.449
And you would think that everyone would wake up on

1448
01:20:59.529 --> 01:21:05.380
such obvious things as the transgender movement. God created us,

1449
01:21:06.079 --> 01:21:10.350
male and female, boy, girl, man, woman. There is no

1450
01:21:10.409 --> 01:21:14.510
middle ground. There is no such thing as transitioning your

1451
01:21:14.590 --> 01:21:19.270
gender to the other gender. That's a fallacy. And it's

1452
01:21:19.310 --> 01:21:21.510
an insult to God. And we are going to pay

1453
01:21:21.569 --> 01:21:24.619
a big price if we don't correct ourselves.

1454
01:21:25.180 --> 01:21:30.000
Well, exactly. It is an offense to God Almighty. He's

1455
01:21:30.020 --> 01:21:32.560
the author and member of the committee on this present danger, China,

1456
01:21:32.600 --> 01:21:35.300
senior fellow at the Discovery Institute. His new book, when

1457
01:21:35.319 --> 01:21:36.859
will the new book be out, Scott?

1458
01:21:37.140 --> 01:21:38.439
I hope it's going to be out in two months.

1459
01:21:39.140 --> 01:21:40.760
Okay. And the title, one more time?

1460
01:21:41.159 --> 01:21:48.170

1461
01:21:48.369 --> 01:21:49.590

information on the show, you can check it out, BillMartinezLive.com. Well,

1528
01:25:34.239 --> 01:25:36.680
it's been one of the most severe flu seasons in

1529
01:25:36.779 --> 01:25:40.199
decades this past year, and health experts are concerned about

1530
01:25:40.260 --> 01:25:43.979
another difficult season ahead. Now, flu severity has increased in

1531
01:25:44.039 --> 01:25:49.359
recent years, leaving more Americans vulnerable to serious illness and hospitalization.

1532
01:25:49.859 --> 01:25:55.310
Samantha Picking is with PharmD in Walgreens. and a parenting

1533
01:25:55.489 --> 01:25:57.869
expert and journalist, and she knows all about it, and

1534
01:25:57.909 --> 01:26:01.439
she's here to help us deal with this year's flu

1535
01:26:01.479 --> 01:26:04.000
shot campaign. Samantha, welcome to the show. Good to have

1536
01:26:04.039 --> 01:26:04.409
you with us.

1537
01:26:05.260 --> 01:26:05.640
Hi, Phil.

1538
01:26:05.659 --> 01:26:06.250
Thanks for having me.

1539
01:26:06.939 --> 01:26:10.439
Well, as we gear up for another virus season, you know,

1540
01:26:11.500 --> 01:26:14.550
you've got the facts and the things that can help us,

1541
01:26:15.390 --> 01:26:19.590
you know, navigate this upcoming flu season because it's all

1542
01:26:19.630 --> 01:26:21.050
about prevention, right?

1543
01:26:22.020 --> 01:26:23.399
Yeah, that's exactly right.

1544
01:26:23.460 --> 01:26:24.430
And you mentioned it.

1545
01:26:24.479 --> 01:26:27.600
Last year's season hit us hard. So did the year before.

1546
01:26:27.739 --> 01:26:31.109
And flu cases we were seeing rose sharply in December.

1547
01:26:31.270 --> 01:26:35.310
They peaked earlier than expected, really reminding us that the

1548
01:26:35.409 --> 01:26:38.170
real danger is not just how bad the season gets,

1549
01:26:38.210 --> 01:26:41.250
but how quickly the flu can spread, especially in a

1550
01:26:41.250 --> 01:26:45.760
community when people are not protected. So It's particularly concerning

1551
01:26:45.819 --> 01:26:48.939
because according to the CDC, we're seeing less people get

1552
01:26:49.020 --> 01:26:52.960
vaccinated each year, leaving more people vulnerable in our communities.

1553
01:26:53.340 --> 01:26:55.630
And we're also seeing people put it off later. So

1554
01:26:56.010 --> 01:26:57.989
they may not be getting a vaccine until they feel

1555
01:26:58.010 --> 01:27:00.489
like they're at risk or they're hearing people getting sick

1556
01:27:00.569 --> 01:27:03.710
or they have gatherings coming up. So most importantly is

1557
01:27:03.750 --> 01:27:06.710
to remember that it's absolutely safe and effective to get

1558
01:27:06.750 --> 01:27:10.020
your flu shot every year. And vaccination is the best

1559
01:27:10.359 --> 01:27:13.909
thing we have and tool to prevent these serious illnesses

1560
01:27:13.989 --> 01:27:16.600
like the flu. And then when you get a flu shot,

1561
01:27:16.619 --> 01:27:18.680
it does take two weeks to build up immunity. So

1562
01:27:18.699 --> 01:27:20.840
that's why it's so important to get ahead of the

1563
01:27:20.859 --> 01:27:22.939
season and get your flu vaccination early.

1564
01:27:23.760 --> 01:27:26.039
Well, what concerns you most about this flu season and

1565
01:27:26.079 --> 01:27:29.300
what should people know about how to stay protected?

1566
01:27:30.479 --> 01:27:34.880
Yeah, what's most concerning is we've seen vaccination rates decline

1567
01:27:34.979 --> 01:27:37.479
each year. And then we've also seen exactly what you

1568
01:27:37.500 --> 01:27:41.180
would expect when that happens, really severe cases. flu seasons.

1569
01:27:41.579 --> 01:27:44.380
So what I want people to remember is that everyone

1570
01:27:44.520 --> 01:27:46.979
ages six months and plus is recommended to get a

1571
01:27:47.000 --> 01:27:50.079
yearly flu vaccination. When it comes to your local pharmacy

1572
01:27:50.100 --> 01:27:53.920
and Walgreens, we can administer vaccines to anyone ages three plus.

1573
01:27:54.340 --> 01:27:57.560
And then for patients that are 65 and older or immunocompromised,

1574
01:27:57.899 --> 01:28:00.920
they're at greater risk for serious complications when it comes

1575
01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:03.899
to the flu. They do have specific flu shots for

1576
01:28:03.939 --> 01:28:07.079
those populations, whether it's a high dose or adjuvant flu vaccine.

1577
01:28:07.359 --> 01:28:09.090
And we do have those in the pharmacy for those

1578
01:28:09.119 --> 01:28:09.560
patients too.

1579
01:28:10.220 --> 01:28:12.899
Well, that's good to know. I didn't realize that you

1580
01:28:12.939 --> 01:28:16.810
had a different flu shot for people 65 and older.

1581
01:28:17.699 --> 01:28:21.149
Yeah, there's specific recommendations for that age population to make

1582
01:28:21.189 --> 01:28:23.170
sure they get the most out of their flu shot

1583
01:28:23.289 --> 01:28:25.689
and the best immune response for their immune system.

1584
01:28:26.489 --> 01:28:31.869
Well, again, I think you suggested this, that older adults,

1585
01:28:32.050 --> 01:28:35.569
more high risk. And does the timing for getting a

1586
01:28:35.609 --> 01:28:37.050
flu shot differ for them?

1587
01:28:38.630 --> 01:28:43.529
Well, the best time to get vaccinated is September and October.

1588
01:28:43.649 --> 01:28:46.750
That allows you to build up immunity before flu starts

1589
01:28:47.170 --> 01:28:51.409
to peak and illnesses, cases start rising. So the goal

1590
01:28:51.449 --> 01:28:52.989
is to get ahead of it, get it in September

1591
01:28:53.029 --> 01:28:55.189
and October. And you're absolutely right. When it comes to

1592
01:28:55.689 --> 01:28:59.310
older adults, infants, or those that may be immunocompromised due

1593
01:28:59.329 --> 01:29:02.050
to health conditions or medication, they are at a bigger

1594
01:29:02.109 --> 01:29:06.109
risk for severe illness and hospitalization. If we look back

1595
01:29:06.369 --> 01:29:11.750
in 2024, 25 flu season, 71% of seasonal flu related

1596
01:29:12.229 --> 01:29:16.909
deaths and 57% of flu related hospitalization were in patients

1597
01:29:16.909 --> 01:29:18.909
65 and older. So that's why it's so important for

1598
01:29:18.930 --> 01:29:20.109
us to protect this population.

1599
01:29:20.909 --> 01:29:24.149
Well, we're talking with Samantha Picking. She's a pharmacist and

1600
01:29:24.180 --> 01:29:28.340
senior director of immunizations at Walgreens. And, you know, about

1601
01:29:28.359 --> 01:29:31.039
the upcoming flu season and how, you know, we need

1602
01:29:31.079 --> 01:29:36.560
to intelligently approach it. And, you know, we've gone through

1603
01:29:36.699 --> 01:29:39.729
a period, Samantha, as you're aware of, where there's been

1604
01:29:39.810 --> 01:29:44.869
some vaccine hesitation. And so it's good that you're here

1605
01:29:44.949 --> 01:29:47.949
because not all vaccines are the same, are they?

1606
01:29:49.229 --> 01:29:51.460
No, not every vaccine is the same. Whether you have

1607
01:29:51.479 --> 01:29:55.479
a seasonal vaccine, a routine vaccine, or if you're traveling

1608
01:29:55.500 --> 01:29:57.779
and you have a specific vaccine for that, the great

1609
01:29:57.800 --> 01:30:00.460
thing is, and we've seen a lot more patients now

1610
01:30:00.520 --> 01:30:03.000
are getting the majority of their vaccines at their community pharmacies.

1611
01:30:03.060 --> 01:30:05.810
So the most important thing is to know it's convenient.

1612
01:30:05.970 --> 01:30:06.609
It's easy.

1613
01:30:06.630 --> 01:30:08.829
You can walk in anytime. You can talk to your

1614
01:30:08.869 --> 01:30:12.470
local pharmacist about what your vaccine needs may be. And

1615
01:30:12.510 --> 01:30:15.390
it could be more than one vaccine, not just the

1616
01:30:15.409 --> 01:30:18.699
seasonal flu shot or COVID. And you can get more

1617
01:30:18.720 --> 01:30:21.880
than one vaccine at one time. It's absolutely safe. And

1618
01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:24.760
it's probably the easiest and simplest thing to do is

1619
01:30:24.800 --> 01:30:25.260
just get it.

1620
01:30:25.220 --> 01:30:28.819
All done in one appointment. Well, what you're suggesting here

1621
01:30:28.859 --> 01:30:31.600
is that there are other vaccines that people should be

1622
01:30:31.659 --> 01:30:34.420
considering as we head into fall and winter, right?

1623
01:30:35.600 --> 01:30:38.300
Yeah. I mean, it's not just the flu virus circulating

1624
01:30:38.319 --> 01:30:41.619
during the fall and winter, especially for adults 75 years

1625
01:30:41.659 --> 01:30:44.479
and older or those 50 with health conditions. You want

1626
01:30:44.510 --> 01:30:47.300
to consider an RSV vaccine. I also want to consider

1627
01:30:47.600 --> 01:30:52.079
the updated COVID vaccine each year and then pneumococcal, shingles.

1628
01:30:52.140 --> 01:30:54.920
So there could be multiple vaccines that you want to

1629
01:30:54.960 --> 01:30:57.399
make sure you don't have a gap in protection here.

1630
01:30:57.439 --> 01:30:59.210
So best thing you can do is talk to your

1631
01:30:59.250 --> 01:31:01.649
local Walgreens pharmacist. They can take a look at your

1632
01:31:01.789 --> 01:31:06.109
medication history, your health conditions, your vaccination history to understand

1633
01:31:06.510 --> 01:31:08.770
what vaccines you may need and get them at the

1634
01:31:08.810 --> 01:31:10.170
same time as your flu vaccination.

1635
01:31:10.770 --> 01:31:15.109
Well, you mentioned people who may be immunocompromised. But what

1636
01:31:15.130 --> 01:31:16.989
about those people that have a strong immunity?

1637
01:31:18.229 --> 01:31:21.449
Even patients that have a strong immunity are completely healthy.

1638
01:31:21.720 --> 01:31:25.159
Like I said, flu vaccination is recommended for anyone six

1639
01:31:25.239 --> 01:31:28.899
months of age or older. The flu can hit anyone

1640
01:31:29.279 --> 01:31:32.859
really hard, and it's a serious illness that can cause complications.

1641
01:31:32.939 --> 01:31:35.180
So we want to make sure everyone is protected, and

1642
01:31:35.199 --> 01:31:38.930
that also allows us to protect our more vulnerable populations

1643
01:31:39.010 --> 01:31:40.949
to make sure that we're not spreading viruses to them.

1644
01:31:42.000 --> 01:31:45.239
Well, I think that the thing that has really advanced

1645
01:31:45.390 --> 01:31:48.439
so conveniently is the fact that, as you say, your

1646
01:31:48.510 --> 01:31:53.270
local Walgreens and other outlets are available. So they've made

1647
01:31:53.529 --> 01:31:56.789
getting vaccinated very accessible, right?

1648
01:31:57.649 --> 01:31:57.949
Yeah.

1649
01:31:57.989 --> 01:31:59.989
I mean, pharmacists we know are one of the most

1650
01:32:00.130 --> 01:32:03.529
trusted healthcare providers. And the great thing is, is that

1651
01:32:04.329 --> 01:32:08.449
we're located nationally across the country and we're in your communities.

1652
01:32:08.529 --> 01:32:13.880
So it's a convenient option to get trusted healthcare, especially

1653
01:32:13.920 --> 01:32:16.500
when it comes to your vaccination needs. So remember your

1654
01:32:16.520 --> 01:32:19.239
pharmacist is there to support you. They're your local healthcare

1655
01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:22.039
provider and can help you with any of your vaccination needs,

1656
01:32:22.420 --> 01:32:24.960
questions or concerns. And we know it's a busy time

1657
01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:27.619
of year. So we've added additional staff at our locations

1658
01:32:27.659 --> 01:32:30.390
across the country. We've expanded appointments. We want to make

1659
01:32:30.430 --> 01:32:33.090
sure it's an easy, quick in and out for anyone

1660
01:32:33.270 --> 01:32:36.069
that needs a vaccination this season. And we're making that

1661
01:32:36.170 --> 01:32:37.829
as easy and simple as possible.

1662
01:32:38.350 --> 01:32:40.380
Well, and I like that you said in terms of

1663
01:32:40.569 --> 01:32:43.640
accessibility and how easy it is, is that it doesn't

1664
01:32:43.680 --> 01:32:46.800
necessarily require an appointment. You can walk in in many

1665
01:32:46.840 --> 01:32:50.159
places where when I've gone to the local Walgreens, it's just,

1666
01:32:50.850 --> 01:32:53.670
you know, walk right in, get your vaccine and head

1667
01:32:53.710 --> 01:32:54.270
on out the door.

1668
01:32:55.260 --> 01:32:57.520
Yeah, that's exactly it. You can walk in anytime. It

1669
01:32:57.539 --> 01:32:59.600
could be nights, weekends. It could be during the day

1670
01:32:59.659 --> 01:33:03.539
when you're already there picking up a prescription. So anytime,

1671
01:33:03.840 --> 01:33:06.239
walk in. We can get you vaccinated. If you want

1672
01:33:06.260 --> 01:33:09.340
to plan ahead, you can always schedule an appointment on Walgreens.com,

1673
01:33:09.760 --> 01:33:15.380
in our app, or by texting FLU to 66879. It's

1674
01:33:15.439 --> 01:33:19.010
really easy to make an appointment online or just stop

1675
01:33:19.020 --> 01:33:20.689
by the pharmacy and talk to your local pharmacist.

1676
01:33:21.170 --> 01:33:23.989
So that number again, 66879. Did I hear that correct?

1677
01:33:24.590 --> 01:33:25.069
That's correct.

1678
01:33:26.159 --> 01:33:29.739
Taking notes here. This was good. Samantha Picking has been

1679
01:33:29.760 --> 01:33:32.739
our guest. Samantha, as we wrap things up, where can

1680
01:33:32.760 --> 01:33:33.800
they go for more information?

1681
01:33:34.659 --> 01:33:36.960
For more information, like I said, walk in anytime to

1682
01:33:36.979 --> 01:33:41.159
your local Walgreens. You can go to walgreens.com to schedule

1683
01:33:41.189 --> 01:33:43.569
an appointment ahead of time or for additional information on

1684
01:33:43.630 --> 01:33:44.789
vaccine recommendations.

1685
01:33:45.329 --> 01:33:47.250
Well, I see. She knows what she's talking about. After all,

1686
01:33:47.270 --> 01:33:49.569
I mean, she is a pharmacist, right? For goodness sakes.

1687
01:33:50.130 --> 01:33:54.210
And a senior director of immunizations at Walgreens. Samantha Picking

1688
01:33:54.270 --> 01:33:56.390
has been our guest. Samantha, thank you so much. Take care.

1689
01:33:56.470 --> 01:33:57.010
Have a great day.

1690
01:33:57.029 --> 01:33:58.289
Thanks for having me.

1691
01:33:59.489 --> 01:34:04.300
Well, as Samantha said, we've been dealing with severe flu

1692
01:34:04.310 --> 01:34:08.680
seasons in decades, of course, last year's. And health experts

1693
01:34:08.800 --> 01:34:12.619
like Samantha are concerned about another difficult season ahead. Its

1694
01:34:12.680 --> 01:34:16.640
severity has increased in recent years, leaving more Americans vulnerable

1695
01:34:17.039 --> 01:34:19.930
to serious illness and hospitalization. So you don't want to

1696
01:34:19.970 --> 01:34:23.649
go there, all right? And also she shared with us that,

1697
01:34:24.189 --> 01:34:26.890
you know, the best time to get vaccinated and what

1698
01:34:26.930 --> 01:34:31.130
people age 65 and older should know about specialized flu vaccines.

1699
01:34:31.170 --> 01:34:33.550
That was good. I'd never heard about that before. So

1700
01:34:34.229 --> 01:34:36.659
I was glad that, you know, she shared that with us.

1701
01:34:36.689 --> 01:34:39.340
So that's something you can take to your pharmacist when

1702
01:34:39.380 --> 01:34:42.039
you go in for your flu vaccine this year. She

1703
01:34:42.100 --> 01:34:46.619
also detailed additional immunizations that may be recommended this fall

1704
01:34:46.640 --> 01:34:49.859
and whether multiple vaccines can be received during one appointment

1705
01:34:49.880 --> 01:34:52.229
said you can. So, You know, check for your pharmacist

1706
01:34:52.300 --> 01:34:55.699
to get all the information. And again, our thanks to

1707
01:34:56.359 --> 01:35:00.590
Samantha Picking, a pharmacist with Walgreens and a parenting expert

1708
01:35:00.710 --> 01:35:01.329
and journalist.

1715
01:35:22.279 --> 01:35:25.539
different prescription drugs, so whatever you're taking, there's a good

01:35:25.600 --> 01:35:28.500

01:35:28.560 --> 01:35:31.399

1765
01:39:05.210 --> 01:39:07.970
Hey, welcome back. Bill Martin is here with our good

1766
01:39:08.010 --> 01:39:11.659
friend Nick Kangadis. He's up to it again. He's been

1767
01:39:12.199 --> 01:39:15.000
making a list, checking it twice. I mean, you're like

1768
01:39:15.300 --> 01:39:20.260
the Santa Claus of the media blunders that, well, actually,

1769
01:39:20.279 --> 01:39:22.970
they're not. They're blunders the way we look at it

1770
01:39:23.010 --> 01:39:26.229
because we just can't believe that we're hearing what they're saying.

1771
01:39:27.100 --> 01:39:27.460
Oh, yeah.

1772
01:39:27.500 --> 01:39:30.439
You know, sometimes, you know, you can switch up the

1773
01:39:30.500 --> 01:39:34.670
letters like the old Bruce Willis joke back in the

1774
01:39:34.710 --> 01:39:37.770
day where he called them Satan Claws. And sometimes you

1775
01:39:37.789 --> 01:39:41.010
feel like that because you're bringing all this garbage from

1776
01:39:41.050 --> 01:39:43.670
the left to everybody. But the people need to know.

1777
01:39:44.609 --> 01:39:46.449
Well, here you are. I mean, every week you've been

1778
01:39:46.489 --> 01:39:51.880
giving us three nominations, three nominees. And, you know, and

1779
01:39:51.899 --> 01:39:55.039
you've got so many more. There's such a plethora to

1780
01:39:55.119 --> 01:39:59.510
choose from. Because It seems, especially now that the Democratic

1781
01:39:59.550 --> 01:40:03.770
Party is so unhinged, they've lost sight of who they are. And,

1782
01:40:04.170 --> 01:40:07.029
you know, at one point they were embracing DSA because

1783
01:40:07.380 --> 01:40:09.199
it was getting them votes in the primary. But now

1784
01:40:09.220 --> 01:40:13.300
they're realizing that going into the general, they they have

1785
01:40:13.319 --> 01:40:17.779
to disconnect. And man, I'm telling you, it's like they're

1786
01:40:17.819 --> 01:40:22.010
stepping back so quick, you know, from from all these radicals.

1787
01:40:22.170 --> 01:40:25.810
It's like, OK, what? You know, how do you expect

1788
01:40:25.829 --> 01:40:28.109
the people to react? I mean, what are they supposed

1789
01:40:28.149 --> 01:40:29.130
to believe about you?

1790
01:40:29.689 --> 01:40:32.850
I mean, it's almost as if communism is unpopular.

1791
01:40:32.869 --> 01:40:37.670
Imagine how, like what, you know, when just yesterday it

1792
01:40:38.590 --> 01:40:39.710
was the big ticket, right?

1793
01:40:40.250 --> 01:40:40.529
Yeah.

1794
01:40:40.609 --> 01:40:44.229
Well, you know, when you have to appeal to the fringe,

1795
01:40:44.760 --> 01:40:47.159
you're going to get, you know, you use fringe.

1796
01:40:47.460 --> 01:40:47.699
Yes.

1797
01:40:47.960 --> 01:40:50.159
When you have to appeal to the masses, you got

1798
01:40:50.180 --> 01:40:53.859
to use more mass appeal. That's just, you know, common sense.

1799
01:40:54.970 --> 01:40:57.109
But I mean, have they jumped the shark on this, Nick?

1800
01:40:57.149 --> 01:40:59.090
I mean, this has been the tradition, you know, you

1801
01:40:59.689 --> 01:41:02.609
go ahead and in the primaries, you present yourself one way.

1802
01:41:02.670 --> 01:41:06.149
I can't remember if it was George W. Bush campaign

1803
01:41:06.170 --> 01:41:11.350
manager talked about the Etch-a-Sketch that, you know, once the

1804
01:41:11.390 --> 01:41:14.670
primaries out of the way, you hit the Etch-a-Sketch button,

1805
01:41:14.689 --> 01:41:19.380
you start all over again. And, you know, has the

1806
01:41:19.399 --> 01:41:22.920
voter politic you know, caught up with a game and saying,

1807
01:41:22.939 --> 01:41:25.060
you know, I'm not going to buy this anymore, you know?

1808
01:41:25.539 --> 01:41:29.609
Yeah, I just don't think, I think politics, regardless of

1809
01:41:29.670 --> 01:41:33.829
what side you're on, I think politics has really grown

1810
01:41:34.090 --> 01:41:38.229
tired on a lot of people. And they just, they're

1811
01:41:38.270 --> 01:41:41.649
tired of hearing the same old song and dance. And

1812
01:41:42.029 --> 01:41:44.850
they want to see actual, like, you know, results.

1813
01:41:45.869 --> 01:41:48.720
Well, and the thing that's amazing to me is that

1814
01:41:49.119 --> 01:41:53.479
Because there's a change in management, all the bad things

1815
01:41:53.520 --> 01:41:57.390
that you did under your regime can suddenly be brushed

1816
01:41:57.550 --> 01:42:00.369
over to the other side. You know, it's like forget

1817
01:42:00.409 --> 01:42:03.149
about what Joe Biden did or Barack Obama. It's Donald

1818
01:42:03.170 --> 01:42:06.829
Trump's fault because he's, you know. He's the reigning king.

1819
01:42:06.909 --> 01:42:08.350
You know, it's all his fault.

1820
01:42:08.390 --> 01:42:08.510
Go.

1821
01:42:08.529 --> 01:42:11.050
Wait a minute. How how can you put everything on

1822
01:42:11.090 --> 01:42:13.130
him when he inherited? I mean, he didn't even have

1823
01:42:13.170 --> 01:42:16.590
a fresh starting line to begin with. He was already,

1824
01:42:16.800 --> 01:42:20.100
you know, miles behind to, you know, whether it was

1825
01:42:20.119 --> 01:42:24.420
dealing with inflation or other aspects of the economy that

1826
01:42:24.479 --> 01:42:27.439
were the results of the policies of Joe Biden and

1827
01:42:27.460 --> 01:42:28.890
Barack Obama and the Democrats.

1828
01:42:29.359 --> 01:42:32.340
Well, it just seems that politicians are less worried about

1829
01:42:32.520 --> 01:42:36.189
actually helping people and more worried about moving their own

1830
01:42:36.270 --> 01:42:39.710
goalposts so that they can feed whatever narrative they have

1831
01:42:39.750 --> 01:42:41.710
that's going to eventually fall apart anyway.

1832
01:42:42.409 --> 01:42:44.930
Well, and that's the problem. When it's about power and control,

1833
01:42:45.010 --> 01:42:49.630
as Lindsey Graham said, the other stuff doesn't matter. The

1834
01:42:50.149 --> 01:42:54.479
voter doesn't matter. I mean, they talk about affordability. Do

1835
01:42:54.489 --> 01:42:57.640
they really care about affordability when it was their policy's

1836
01:42:58.020 --> 01:43:01.699
that exacerbated the problem that has us now in debt

1837
01:43:01.840 --> 01:43:04.260
to the tune of $ 40 trillion and counting right now

1838
01:43:04.300 --> 01:43:05.399
as you and I are talking.

1839
01:43:05.800 --> 01:43:07.600
You know, you got to start to think maybe the

1840
01:43:07.659 --> 01:43:11.210
only affordability that they care about is the donations that

1841
01:43:11.229 --> 01:43:12.949
they get so that they can keep doing it.

1842
01:43:13.470 --> 01:43:18.250
Well, you're well said. All right, let's talk our first

1843
01:43:18.409 --> 01:43:22.640
and worst media quote of the week. She's back. You know,

1844
01:43:22.680 --> 01:43:24.239
what would we do without Kristen Welker?

1845
01:43:25.949 --> 01:43:32.850
You know, she's talking about El-Sayed, the candidate in Michigan for,

1846
01:43:32.909 --> 01:43:36.920
I believe, Senate. And she said that any time that

1847
01:43:36.939 --> 01:43:40.640
they bring up Sayed, they either talk about Islam, they

1848
01:43:40.659 --> 01:43:44.220
talk about Muslims, or they talk about Sharia law. And

1849
01:43:44.279 --> 01:43:48.270
they're saying Republicans are trying to scare voters. But think

1850
01:43:48.329 --> 01:43:51.979
about that. Think about the logic of what she said.

1851
01:43:52.600 --> 01:43:55.739
She said that by bringing those things up, Republicans are

1852
01:43:55.779 --> 01:43:59.630
trying to scare voters. These are the same people that

1853
01:43:59.829 --> 01:44:04.310
all the time want to call people on the right Islamophobes. Now,

1854
01:44:04.710 --> 01:44:08.890
I'm Greek. The last time I checked, phobia means fear of.

1855
01:44:08.909 --> 01:44:10.670
So which is it?

1856
01:44:10.789 --> 01:44:13.170
Like I was saying just a second ago, they removed

1857
01:44:13.189 --> 01:44:17.579
the goalposts. so that they can feed whatever narrative is

1858
01:44:17.659 --> 01:44:22.800
falling apart. So which is it? Are the Republicans trying

1859
01:44:22.819 --> 01:44:25.460
to scare people, or is the right wing scared of

1860
01:44:25.520 --> 01:44:26.880
these people? Right.

1861
01:44:27.539 --> 01:44:30.920
Well, and the thing is, she deduces that, she says,

1862
01:44:31.260 --> 01:44:35.159
to be clear, there's no evidence that Abdul El-Sayed supports

1863
01:44:35.340 --> 01:44:40.720
any terrorist organizations. Boy, that's a sweeping statement to make,

1864
01:44:41.119 --> 01:44:44.060
especially when he's hanging around the likes of the people

1865
01:44:44.119 --> 01:44:46.960
he's hanging around that supports those very things. So I

1866
01:44:47.000 --> 01:44:49.569
guess we shouldn't be judged by those we associate with.

1867
01:44:49.909 --> 01:44:52.689
Yeah, you know, taking pictures with Hassan Piker, who said

1868
01:44:52.729 --> 01:44:57.890
we deserve, America deserve 9-11. So, you know, they can

1869
01:44:57.949 --> 01:45:00.289
speak all they want, but the proof is in the pudding.

1870
01:45:00.329 --> 01:45:01.909
And it's not like we're blind.

1871
01:45:02.840 --> 01:45:03.000
Yeah.

1872
01:45:03.840 --> 01:45:08.350
Well, let's go on to number two. We got... The Scarboroughs,

1873
01:45:08.670 --> 01:45:14.520
Mika and Joe, backwards un-American and sick Trump immigration policy.

1874
01:45:15.140 --> 01:45:19.800
I mean, what is their idea of an immigration policy?

1875
01:45:20.340 --> 01:45:25.159
Well, listen, I think Mika Brzezinski is just upset that

1876
01:45:25.260 --> 01:45:28.899
maybe her hired help might get sent back to Ecuador.

1877
01:45:28.920 --> 01:45:31.449
Because let's not forget, her father.

1878
01:45:33.020 --> 01:45:35.470
Her father had the ear of Jimmy Carter once upon

1879
01:45:35.550 --> 01:45:38.130
a time. It's not like the Brzezinskis are new to

1880
01:45:38.149 --> 01:45:41.310
the political platform. So they are the elite. They are

1881
01:45:41.369 --> 01:45:42.069
the upper crust.

1882
01:45:42.109 --> 01:45:46.270
Well, they're part of the World Economic Forum. They're part

1883
01:45:46.310 --> 01:45:49.479
of this one world government. She cares less about America.

1884
01:45:49.500 --> 01:45:52.960
I mean, she makes a lot of money here in America,

1885
01:45:53.300 --> 01:45:57.680
but that's not their goal. I mean, they're just agents

1886
01:45:58.359 --> 01:46:00.840
to a higher calling, as you say, which has nothing

1887
01:46:00.880 --> 01:46:01.689
to do with America.

1888
01:46:02.300 --> 01:46:05.319
No, it's just, you know, it's the constant thing that

1889
01:46:05.399 --> 01:46:07.600
those of us in the know have known for a

1890
01:46:07.640 --> 01:46:10.449
long time, which is it's all about the globalism. It's

1891
01:46:10.489 --> 01:46:15.289
about the... They think because they're the privileged ones and

1892
01:46:15.329 --> 01:46:19.170
they don't see anything outside their bubble, which is typically

1893
01:46:19.710 --> 01:46:23.529
the New York to D.C. Acela corridor bubble. They don't

1894
01:46:23.569 --> 01:46:26.880
see anything outside of that. So they have no concept

1895
01:46:27.020 --> 01:46:31.939
of what the average person... like yourself or myself is

1896
01:46:32.000 --> 01:46:35.960
going through and they don't really care unless they're the

1897
01:46:36.039 --> 01:46:39.840
people that are, that are, you know, uh, that they hire.

1898
01:46:39.840 --> 01:46:43.520
Illegally, allegedly. Yeah.

1899
01:46:43.760 --> 01:46:43.979
Right.

1900
01:46:44.020 --> 01:46:44.220
Right.

1901
01:46:44.359 --> 01:46:45.800
To, to, to look after them.

1902
01:46:47.420 --> 01:46:49.439
Well, and, and the thing is, is I, I am,

1903
01:46:49.439 --> 01:46:52.619
you know, I've had it with their, you know, their

1904
01:46:52.640 --> 01:46:57.039
characterization of vice agents, you know, and, uh, You hear

1905
01:46:57.100 --> 01:46:59.399
elected officials, oh, well, they just shoot people in the

1906
01:46:59.439 --> 01:47:02.739
face and shoot them in the back of the head. Please,

1907
01:47:02.800 --> 01:47:03.010
come on.

1908
01:47:03.039 --> 01:47:04.699
And they're so smug about it, too.

1909
01:47:05.039 --> 01:47:05.220
Yeah.

1910
01:47:05.520 --> 01:47:09.140
They're so smug. I mean, look, Joe Scarborough at this point,

1911
01:47:09.460 --> 01:47:13.149
he's just propaganda. That's all he is. And it's not even,

1912
01:47:13.449 --> 01:47:15.439
he's not even that good at it, to be honest

1913
01:47:15.479 --> 01:47:18.199
with you. Maybe like 20 years ago when he was

1914
01:47:18.279 --> 01:47:21.539
closer to being a politician, that would be one thing.

1915
01:47:21.840 --> 01:47:25.619
But he's been on TV for what, 20, 25 years now?

1916
01:47:26.020 --> 01:47:28.779
And it's the same song and dance. You know, he

1917
01:47:28.800 --> 01:47:30.890
can say all day, well, you know, I was, when

1918
01:47:30.939 --> 01:47:33.909
I was a politician, I was a Republican. Yeah, that

1919
01:47:33.949 --> 01:47:37.109
was when, you know, Gen Z didn't even exist.

1920
01:47:37.670 --> 01:47:40.319
Right, yeah. It's kind of like you've got a big

1921
01:47:40.380 --> 01:47:43.279
shift going on in the Democratic Party. I was until

1922
01:47:43.300 --> 01:47:46.590
I wasn't. And that's what a lot of these Democrats

1923
01:47:46.659 --> 01:47:50.350
are saying. And of course, Scarborough, he's just pleading, are

1924
01:47:50.369 --> 01:47:51.649
we going to survive Trump?

1925
01:47:51.909 --> 01:47:52.210
Really?

1926
01:47:52.229 --> 01:47:56.670
I mean, it's just amazing to me all the good

1927
01:47:56.689 --> 01:48:00.149
things that Donald Trump has done for this country. Let's

1928
01:48:00.170 --> 01:48:03.989
just say just the big, beautiful bill itself. Has there

1929
01:48:04.029 --> 01:48:08.949
been a Democrat since Clinton- that has done anything so

1930
01:48:09.050 --> 01:48:13.699
significant just in that bill alone that has paid dividends

1931
01:48:13.760 --> 01:48:17.090
to the American people. No, you know, you get Barack Obama,

1932
01:48:17.130 --> 01:48:21.069
his big signature deal is Obamacare, which you know, we

1933
01:48:21.109 --> 01:48:23.920
the people are, you know, we're keeping it on life support.

1934
01:48:24.319 --> 01:48:28.000
It's a joke, you know, is a big fat lie,

1935
01:48:28.239 --> 01:48:32.800
which Joe Wilson said out loud, if you remember. And

1936
01:48:32.899 --> 01:48:35.039
here we are living with this mess. Thank you very much,

1937
01:48:35.140 --> 01:48:38.380
John McCain and the other, you know, so-called Republicans for

1938
01:48:38.619 --> 01:48:41.449
They had the opportunity to actually get rid of it.

1939
01:48:41.819 --> 01:48:43.779
You know, it already had a fork in it and

1940
01:48:43.810 --> 01:48:46.149
it was ready to go away. And they pulled the

1941
01:48:46.189 --> 01:48:48.829
fork out and let it survive. And here we are

1942
01:48:48.890 --> 01:48:49.810
still putting up with it.

1943
01:48:50.189 --> 01:48:52.510
Well, look, Trump is breaking records. Look at what he

1944
01:48:52.590 --> 01:48:55.109
just did with the visas.

1945
01:48:55.449 --> 01:48:55.649
Yes.

1946
01:48:55.970 --> 01:49:02.630
Suspending, what was it, 200,000 to 350,000 visas? Yes. Like

1947
01:49:02.689 --> 01:49:05.710
that's that's major. No president has ever done that before.

1948
01:49:06.189 --> 01:49:09.220
And to go back to Joe Scarborough saying, are we

1949
01:49:09.239 --> 01:49:12.479
going to survive? You know, it made me think of

1950
01:49:13.520 --> 01:49:17.859
about I would say maybe seven, eight years ago, Reason.com

1951
01:49:18.039 --> 01:49:20.260
on their YouTube channel came out with a video. It

1952
01:49:20.279 --> 01:49:22.710
was like a parody song. And they were making fun

1953
01:49:22.729 --> 01:49:26.069
of politicians who went on the House floor, the Senate floor,

1954
01:49:26.109 --> 01:49:29.199
and they just waxed poetic. But no matter what the

1955
01:49:29.260 --> 01:49:33.460
topic was, it always came back around to, if you

1956
01:49:33.500 --> 01:49:36.079
don't agree with what I'm saying, you just want people

1957
01:49:36.140 --> 01:49:36.739
to die.

1958
01:49:37.659 --> 01:49:37.880
Yes.

1959
01:49:38.420 --> 01:49:41.560
Yeah. There goes Granny over the cliff one more time.

1960
01:49:41.579 --> 01:49:42.319
Yeah.

1961
01:49:42.779 --> 01:49:44.579
And Granny's going, quit picking on me. I'm tired of

1962
01:49:44.600 --> 01:49:45.359
going over the cliff.

1963
01:49:45.699 --> 01:49:47.720
Oh, now you care about people who are dying.

1964
01:49:48.039 --> 01:49:48.260
Right.

1965
01:49:48.300 --> 01:49:48.600
Yeah.

1966
01:49:48.659 --> 01:49:48.819
No.

1967
01:49:49.359 --> 01:49:51.720
No, it's this whole deal. It's even like Social Security.

1968
01:49:52.369 --> 01:49:55.590
You know, it galls me that even like, you know,

1969
01:49:55.750 --> 01:49:59.130
AARP talks about saving social. They're going to do everything

1970
01:49:59.170 --> 01:50:00.069
to save Social Security.

1971
01:50:00.550 --> 01:50:00.829
Oh, OK.

1972
01:50:00.850 --> 01:50:03.619
That's why, what, 95 percent of your money goes to

1973
01:50:03.659 --> 01:50:08.319
Democrats that have imperiled Social Security. I can't square that up.

1974
01:50:08.460 --> 01:50:08.979
Forgive me.

1975
01:50:09.520 --> 01:50:15.020
Well, look, we had a big curtain pulled back with USAID.

1976
01:50:15.520 --> 01:50:16.430
Oh, big time.

1977
01:50:16.470 --> 01:50:16.729
Yes.

1978
01:50:16.890 --> 01:50:20.810
Big time curtain pulled back. And did we get like,

1979
01:50:21.069 --> 01:50:25.149
you know, 100 percent of the waste eliminated from our budget,

1980
01:50:25.229 --> 01:50:26.550
eliminated from everything?

1981
01:50:26.970 --> 01:50:27.250
No.

1982
01:50:27.609 --> 01:50:29.670
But that's like that's a pipe dream. Do you know

1983
01:50:29.710 --> 01:50:32.710
how much corruption there is? I mean, look at look

1984
01:50:32.750 --> 01:50:37.130
at what Nick Shirley uncovered in Minnesota and California alone.

1985
01:50:37.149 --> 01:50:37.670
Yeah.

1986
01:50:37.850 --> 01:50:39.890
So, I mean, that's two states.

1987
01:50:40.369 --> 01:50:40.979
Right, exactly.

1988
01:50:41.020 --> 01:50:44.340
And California freaked out that they had to pass and

1989
01:50:44.359 --> 01:50:48.340
the governor signed the Nick Shirley law that will put

1990
01:50:48.359 --> 01:50:52.010
him in jail or any other independent journalist who would

1991
01:50:52.050 --> 01:50:53.729
dare to report on the truth, right?

1992
01:50:54.170 --> 01:50:57.750
Yeah, don't actually do journalism. Don't actually do your job.

1993
01:50:58.010 --> 01:51:01.180
You can do journalism as long as it's pre-approved.

1994
01:51:02.279 --> 01:51:05.539
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, you got the three worst candidates there,

1995
01:51:06.100 --> 01:51:10.119
and you got to go to MRC and cast your vote.

1996
01:51:10.739 --> 01:51:15.239
Let them know if you want Kristen Welker, Mika Brzezinski,

1997
01:51:15.520 --> 01:51:19.550

1998
01:51:19.649 --> 01:51:22.569
offered to you this week. And Nick Congadas, the senior

1999
01:51:22.609 --> 01:51:25.529
content creator at MRC Video, where else can they go

2000
01:51:25.569 --> 01:51:25.869
to vote?

2001
01:51:26.630 --> 01:51:30.949
If you go to the Newsbusters, X, Twitter, whichever you

2002
01:51:30.970 --> 01:51:33.720

You're awesome. Thank you, Nick. Take care, buddy.

2006
01:51:39.829 --> 01:51:40.350
Thank you, Bill.

2007
01:51:41.550 --> 01:51:44.609
Do you have Medicare and do you use a CPAP machine?

2008

2009
01:51:49.029 --> 01:51:52.529
