  Speaker 1: It's the Alex Marlowe Show. The Alex Marlowe Show. I'm
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: glad you're here.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot to do today. Still some more
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: UN stuff to come. And then we also have Xi
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Jinping at the White House right now. Definitely no stroke there.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: So that was a bit of fake news, as I
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: pointed out a couple days ago on the show. And
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I will read to you some of the highlights from
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the speech that I've been crashing on right before the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: show went to air. So we'll have some of that,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: plus some updates on a number of other topics as well.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: But I'll start with one thing, which is Interesting. I'm
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: in the podcast studio today, those of you who are watching,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: even though my intention was on Thursdays I'd try to
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: go into the main studio in Glendale, and I couldn't
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: make it in today. And I couldn't make it in
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: because my 25-mile commute was slated an hour and 12 minutes.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: It was 59-minute ETA when I got in the car,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and it was about an hour and 12 by the
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: time I made it about eight or so miles from
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: my house.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: It kept going up, so it was too risky.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: So I had to turn around and waste a bunch
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: of time and a bunch of gasoline, burn a bunch
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of fossil fuels for no reason. And all this because
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: traffic in LA keeps getting worse even as people are leaving.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It's actually people are leaving the city and traffic still
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: gets worse. And I just note this because this is
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: a lesson to everyone is that blue cities and blue
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: states do not solve their fundamental problems. They still love
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to virtue signal. They still love to try to appeal
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to certain demographics with their words, but they don't actually
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: do anything to solve the problems of the people around them.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And I was born in Los Angeles and I've lived
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: here I think 32 of the 40 years I've been
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: on this earth at least part-time, but at least part
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: of the year. I went to college in the Bay Area,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: so I guess that half counts. But overall, we just
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: don't solve a single problem. And even as there are
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: fewer people, you still can't use the city. You can't
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: drive through it. And to complain about L.A. traffic is,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: of course, is going to have some of you rolling
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: your eyes. But I make this point because I saw
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: a pretty brilliant piece of filmography from Christopher Ruffo, who
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: is from the Manhattan Institute. And he had a big
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: piece that came out yesterday night. showing how California has
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: created a shadow welfare state for illegal aliens. And I
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: thought this was a good segue because instead of doing
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: things like fixing things that the taxpayers, the people who
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: have multiple jobs and have a huge economic engine and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: have a bunch of children to support and employ a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: bunch of people like me, this is the type of
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: people they're supporting in the state.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Can we play cut 13, guys? The cuts are not working.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: All right. I was not made aware of that situation. Okay,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: so that kind of ruins my whole opening, but thanks, guys.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: It's the magic of live radio.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Anyway, he goes through, and he has a big report
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: out for the Manhattan Institute where he shows that there's
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: a shadow welfare system.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's ready now.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: So you see free housing, free cash, free health care,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: free food, free phones, free college tuition, even free car
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: insurance for illegal aliens, and this is running the state
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: about $ 10 billion a year.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And in case you guys didn't know this, we have
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a deficit in the state. So we start with a surplus.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: We get around 10% in taxes from all the taxpaying citizens,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: not to mention some of the highest sales taxes, energy taxes,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that, and reasonably high property taxes, which
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: of course are outrageous because the homes are very expensive
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and property tax is deeply immoral that the government would
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: tax you on your own home.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Completely insane.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: We allow for that. And yet they still can't balance
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: their budget. Well, this is one of the reasons why.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I'm told now I can play the cut. So let's
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: play it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Cut 13.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: The California state government has built a shadow welfare system
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: for the undocumented that costs the state billions. They're giving
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: away free food, cash, housing, health care, college tuition, even
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: car insurance. No questions asked. We wanted to see exactly
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: how this system worked, so we went to the welfare
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: office here in Los Angeles. They told us that many
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: state welfare programs do not require American citizenship, and some,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: like the cash assistance program for immigrants, which provides nearly
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: $ 14, 000 a year in cash, are for migrants only.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I don't care about legal, not being a citizen. Okay,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: so fantastic, and it's good stuff, and the full report
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I'm sure is well worth your time. But I just
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: thought that was very apropos because that is– while our
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: governor is running for president on the Don Lamone podcast,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: that's what's going on with this. And again, remember Kamala Harris,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: who's also maybe the frontrunner for the Democrat Party, that
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: she is a– was the senator from the state. So
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: we're a horrific example. She's a horrific example for any–
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: city or state to run. Let's play this cut of
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Karen Bass we got here.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Cut 12, please, guys. American culture loves a star.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: But they love a star. Spencer Pratt was not a star.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: He was not.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: He did not meet that. And all they needed to
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: see was the R behind his name. That's why the
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: governor's race right now is over. Our governor's name is
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Javier Becerra. You don't need an election on November 3rd.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: A Republican cannot win in this state. And yet a
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Republican with a British accent. Oh, I know, right?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine if someone like me went out there
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and said a Democrat with a British accent couldn't win
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: in this state? They would call election interference. Every fact
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: checker in town would be on top of me. It
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: would be a front page story of the New York Times.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So this is a really important– very important cut. Good cut, guys,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: grabbing that one for me.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: But this is just important.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: This is where she lays out specifically there will be
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: no Republicans coming in. And so when she says stuff
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: like that, is that a threat or is that because
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: is she talking just demographics? Is she just talking about
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: voter registration gaps? Or is she talking about the Democrats
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: are going to cheat? And that is a question that
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: is very valid to ask. And there's a lot of
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: people like NewsGuard out there who don't want you to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: ask that question. What is she saying? Is she saying
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: is it truly impossible or that Republicans have given up,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: there's not enough of us, or is she saying that
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: they're going to cheat if they have to? I don't
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: know if that's what she's saying, but it's noteworthy to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: say that that's what they think of us. And they
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: very well could have one of the presidential candidates could
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: come from California, the state that's run like that. So
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: noteworthy that Bass is probably going to lose, by the way.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: She's losing now in the polls to Nitya Raman, who's
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: even further left. Remember, Bass was someone who studied communism before.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: and is tied to Cuban communists, is a literal Castroite.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And she's not left enough for LA, so we might
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: get an even more communist communist. We're literally running two
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: communists against each other in LA. And why is she
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: joking about anything? The whole city burned down on her watch.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Spencer Pratt's house burned down when she was the mayor
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: of the city he lived in. The internet snark, the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: podcast snark, it's not my favorite thing, I gotta admit.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: It can be entertaining if you agree with the people
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: who are snarking, but it's not my favorite. Scott Galloway,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: who is the very entertaining New York university professor, who
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: is equal amounts of great takes and horrible takes, which
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: makes him good content. He had, he was another guy
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: who lavishes praise over Gavin Newsom. He had this to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: say about Kamala Harris cut 18.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: There's all this scuttlebutton reporting about democratic elders trying to
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: talk vice president Harris out of running for president. Vice
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: president Harris said, Outstanding senator. I think she'd be an
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: outstanding justice. I thought she was a lousy presidential candidate.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: She didn't make it even to Iowa in 2020.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: So remember that when she didn't make it to Iowa
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: in 2020, that is relevant that they wouldn't put her
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: out again, even though she couldn't even get to Iowa
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: in 2020, despite raising $ 100 million, which I reported in
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: some of my investigatory work. But she could be a
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: good Supreme Court justice. So maybe not a good president,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: but she could be a good Supreme Court justice. She
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: gives off the impression that she may be a full-blown
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: retard and is certainly someone who's hitting the rosé for
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a tipple at lunchtime.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And we're talking an early lunch. We're talking an 11 a.m.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Lunch.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And then they want to put her on the Supreme Court.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Just look back at the Kavanaugh hearings. That was her
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: most embarrassing moment ever. She was a disgrace in those hearings.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: And she made fun of his pocket constitution. And now
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: she wants to be on the Supreme Court, according to
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Scott Galloway. They're just trying to get her to clear out.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: But I got to say, as I said with Galway,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: he occasionally has a good take. He actually got Abdul
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: El-Sayed on his podcast, and this line of inquiry is
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: pretty good.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Play cut 15.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: Do you understand why Jews such as myself find your
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: description of what's happening in Israel and in Gaza interesting?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: As a genocide, as disqualifying.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: In some respects, people don't want to use the word
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: because of the moral implication of what ought to be
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: done following it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, we cut the best part. But the question to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: me is, could we- It's pointless. It's pointless.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: He goes through the best part. The best part of
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: this is he goes through a litany of reasons why
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: it's not a genocide right to Abdul El-Said's face. He
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: notes the Holocaust killed 40% of European Jews. Rwanda killed 70%
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of Tutsis. Cambodian genocide killed a third of the whole country.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: And in Gaza, it's only 3% of the whole population,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and they do leafleting. They give out vaccines. They literally
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: call people and say, hey, we're going to be bombing here.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Can you get out? And Hamas strategically puts military targets
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: in civilian areas like schools and hospitals, and he confronts
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: El-Said with all this, and El-Said has no response. So anyway,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: my summary is good enough, so we'll leave it there.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: But El-Said is not prepared for this question at all.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: All right, tell me about monetary gold. Something you should
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: do in this chaotic time is to get gold. This
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: is safe harbor. And any smart captain, when the storm's
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: brewing in the seas, they've already tucked in to safe
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: harbor ahead of time. And this should go for you
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: and your savings as well. We are on absolutely rough
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: seas right now. National debt over $ 40 trillion. There's talk
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: of rate hikes, global tensions, and tariff talks that continue
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: to escalate, which could turn into full-blown trade wars. Look
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: at all the Canada content I've been putting out there.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Some irrational actors on the world stage. So what's rational
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: for you guys to do? Physical gold and silver. This
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: has been battle-tested for centuries. That's why I'm with Monetary Gold.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: They've been helping Americans own precious metals in tax-sheltered IRAs
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: for 25 years. They specialize in providing personalized, no-pressure assistance
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: with direct purchases of eligible rollovers of an IRA or
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: of a 401k. These guys have tons of knowledge, five
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: stars from Better Business Bureau, five stars from Consumer Affairs,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: and they will give you a free consult alexgoldira.com is
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: the website. That's Alex, sorry, Alex Gold IRA.

  Speaker 1: Here's the hotline. Write this down.
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: 888-617-7994.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Only on Salem Now, featuring one of Charlie Kirk's final interviews.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: The new documentary, Can You Hear Me Now, investigates modern
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: prophets and their divine messages.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Some people absolutely have the gift of prophecy.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: If God exists, how would he inject his information into
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: our world?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: More than likely, he would use humans.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Satan would love Christians to just be a spectator, not engage,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: not participate.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Is there something he's trying to say?
• 11:00

• 11:08
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get into some news here. First of all,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: a judge has ordered Trump to immediately... I should have
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: waited for the music to kick in, and now I'm
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: interrupting it to correct myself, and that's going to be
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: really bad on the podcast. We can't hear the music
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: on the podcast, so this is just... I'm just fumbling
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: some footballs here today, guys. The magic of live radio.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: But the points are still salient. I'll still bring the
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: hot takes for all of you. All right, so Judge
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: ordering Trump to immediately restore privileged White House access to CNN, MSNOW,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: and Politico, as I predicted. And this is where, you know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: it was fun to play around with this, and I
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: hope it stays in the news for a long time.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And I have a lot of deep breakdowns of what
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: really went on, particularly on yesterday's show. I cooked pretty
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: good on this one. But it was basically the judge
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: is not protecting free speech. The judge is protecting these
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: outlets from getting priorities over just any sort of normal
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: news gathering agency because They had basically the freedom to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: roam around the West Wing and do reporting, and they
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: had a permanent desk in the White House, and they have–
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: at least two of them have TV setups outside the
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: White House. That's all privilege. So it's Politico privilege. It's
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: MSNOW privilege. It's CNN privilege. And that's why, though I'm
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: a free speech person and I like a free press
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: and I did anticipate a judge would say Trump could
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: not do this where he knocks him down a peg
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: in the pecking order for establishment media. I didn't figure
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: a judge was going to do this in the end.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: And so this is not a surprise. And then, so
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the question is, was it worth it? Was it worth
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: it to spend.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Time on this? For me, Breitbart, of course it was.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I loved it. Everyone talked about Breitbart all week. Fantastic.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: But again, it'd be nice to talk about some of
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the nice stuff that's.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Going on in the world, but we don't have a
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: ton of time for that.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about Xi Jinping. He's at the
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: White House right now, and I'm getting cuts sent to
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: me in real time. I'm getting clips from the speech.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you some of the highlights that
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing. Right now, from the transcript, one of the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: things he says is, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, achieving
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: great again can go hand in hand. Let us meet
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: people's expectation and show our historical initiative. Let us keep
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: advancing the cause of friendship between our two peoples and
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: work together to.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Build a better world.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: A lot of insight I can offer in this because
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: you see the tone already here. Very respectful of the U.S.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: That's how they operate and that's how they need to
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: be treated in return if we want to get anything
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: out of China. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I couldn't help but think of reunification when he said that.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: He did not say reunification, but it made me think
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: of how China still always has designs in Taiwan the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: same way that they did with Hong Kong and they
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: were able to reacquire Hong Kong within the last decade.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: And so it's just something to keep an eye on
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that that is always going to be part of their
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: mind because they operate with the principle that China should
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: be one, and that includes Taiwan. And also the idea
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that we could grow mutually, usually that ends up benefiting
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: China in the long run when they do that, when
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: that is the plan.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: So the next thing, Xi Jinping says, China keeps its
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: doors wide open, and it welcomes American companies wanting to
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: invest and do business here. We hope Chinese companies are
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: treated fairly here in the United States.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: So they're aware of the news. They read Breitbart a lot.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they're well aware of the.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Content we're producing, and we're very skeptical of Americans partnering
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: with Chinese businesses in our willingness to welcome in a
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: lot of Chinese countries into the United States. Now, are
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: we cool with China making some of our widgets? Are
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: we cool with them making sort of low-level manufactured products?
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's okay. But pharmaceuticals?
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Technology?
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: Nope.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: And they definitely can't come here and get some of
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: our know-how. And I'm skeptical of them buying up the farmland.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot there. All right, the next one,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: this is one that's really weird. Xi announced that China
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: will bring apparently 100,000 young American exchange students to their
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: country in the next five years. And I don't like this.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: The quote is, I hope of U.S.-China, the hope of
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: U.S.-China relationships lie in our people and its future lies
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: with the young. I'm glad to announce an invitation for
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: 100,000 young Americans to visit China for exchanges in study
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: in the.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Next five years. interesting.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I don't want Americans going to China to study, though
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I could see the benefit. I could see if we
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: could do what they would do, which is get information
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: from the inside and then come back here to the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: United States. And with that knowledge, I think it would
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: be interesting and maybe worthwhile. And especially because China doesn't
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: have a free press, it's very hard for American outlets
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: to go over there, as I reported extensively in Breaking
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the News, very hard to go over there and get
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: any sense of what's really going on from a media perspective.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: So maybe students We could do it. It might be
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: a worthwhile experiment. But my initial gut on this is
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: this is not good, that Americans are going to get
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: worked by the CCP, and they're going to come home weaker,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and they're going to come home more sympathetic to China.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: And I do find that to be noteworthy, and I'm
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: very suspicious of 100,000 Americans going over there, if that
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: could be a good thing.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: But if you've got thoughts, aloha to alexmarlow.com. Let me
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: know what you're thinking.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: The next thing he announced, China will be sending two
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: giant pandas to the Atlanta Zoo named Ping Ping and
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: And Fu Huan, giant pandas, have been a great envoy
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: of friendship between the Chinese and Americans. And he's got
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: good news, Xi Jinping says. Two pandas will come to
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: their new home in Zoo Atlanta and meet with the
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: American people. It's just so shameless, but it's also great.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, we love the pandas. The pandas are great.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: But literally, we call people who are China-philes panda huggers
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: because they get cowed by this stuff. Hey, they sent
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: us some pandas. I guess we love them now. very
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: tricky and don't fall for the trap. So she's there.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: He's speaking now and I'll have more right after this.
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: So now I'm going to do some of the worst
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: podcasting ever. It's a, it's a Sean, you know, that
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the midnight is my favorite band. Sean's playing a cut
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: from a band called the midnight, which is obscure LA band.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: And it is literally my favorite band. And Sean had
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: no idea. This is not a big name band. So anyway, amazing.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: And none of this will be on the podcast. So
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: everyone who listens to the podcast will think, what is
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: he talking about? And what is the Midnight? And then
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: that is a shameless plug for them. So, all right,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: moving on here. We have Admiral Brian Christine on, who's
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: been on my podcast a couple of times and has
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: not been on the live show yet. Admiral, it was
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: great to talk to you. You're the Assistant Secretary-General Health
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: at the Health and Human Services. And I want to
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: talk about fitness and nutrition as usual with you.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: But a couple other quick things.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Last time when I was talking about China a little bit,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: how dependent are we on getting our drug generic pharmaceuticals
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: from China at this point? Did we correct any of
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: that from the pandemic? Because it feels like we're talking
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: a lot about whether or not the pandas are coming
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: to the zoo or not, and whether or not we're
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: going to have an exchange student program. But I'm more
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: curious about fundamentals with that. Are we dependent on China
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: for stuff like that right now?
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: You know, that's a great question. And let me tell you,
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: to the degree that we would be dependent upon any country,
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: especially China, is obviously a negative and it's important. And
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: one of the things that the administration were so aggressively
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: doing was trying to reshore things to the United States,
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: whether that be drug development, whether that be clinical trials,
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: whether that be drug manufacture, active efforts, really working hard
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: to make sure that we are having those things shored
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: in the United States because we don't want to be
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: in a position with any country especially China, where we
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: are overly dependent or really dependent at all. So that
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: is something we are aggressively working on in this administration,
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: actively working on. Again, drug development, trying to make it
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: easier for clinical trials to be done in this country,
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: drug clinical trials. That's incredibly important. Actively working on that.
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: Like I said, drug development, drug production, drug manufacturing, and
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: of course, keeping the intellect here, individuals who are really
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: the researchers who have the skills, who have the knowledge,
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: who have the expertise to look at these things and
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: do the research. We want to keep them all here
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: within the United States because you're right, we don't want
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: to be dependent on another country.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't. Absolutely not.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: And then the other kind of administrative thing is that
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: we've been waiting for the Surgeon General to get confirmed,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Nicole Sapphire, Dr. Nicole Sapphire, New York-based radiologist, former Fox
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: News contributor. And Admiral, she was a regular guest on
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: my Breitbart News Daily radio show in Sirius XM until
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: she got a looped into the Fox family, and then
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: they just cut you off from all contact from anyone
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: who's outside of Fox, which is just very strange. But anyway,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: very smart woman, capable. Do we think she's going to
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: get confirmed anytime soon? I don't know who would object
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to her. I don't think she's a bomb thrower of
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: any sort.
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: No, she had her hearing before the Senate Health Committee,
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. That's the committee that
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: you have to get voted out of, the committee that
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: I went through, for instance. Same committee. She had an
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: outstanding hearing. She did really well. She's incredibly smart. She
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: carries herself well. As the nation's doctor, she's going to
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: do an amazing job. And we're hoping that she'll get
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: her committee vote very, very soon. And then when the
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: full Senate vote will happen, unsure because the Senate is
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: on recess next month. And so they'll be on that
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: month recess. But we're hoping for the committee vote very soon.
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: Feel good that she'll get voted out of committee. And
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: then we'll be facing the full Senate vote, which we
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: hope is going to happen soon as well. Because the
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: country needs their surgeon general. I'm really excited to work
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: with Nicole. We will work closely together. I'm excited by that.
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: I think it's going to be a great addition to
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: the Department of Health and Human Services.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. Again, why wouldn't that one
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: be in a fast track?
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I just don't understand what the holdup would be for
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: something like that. It just seems like a non-controversial pick.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: And so what is the role of Surgeon General?
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: What is missing? What work is sitting, piling up that
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: could be getting done?
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: Well, you know, the Surgeon General is oftentimes referred to
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: as the nation's doctor. And so the role of the
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: Surgeon General is not really in a policy-making role. That
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: falls more with other individuals, such as me as the
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: Assistant Secretary for Health. But the Surgeon General has a
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: tremendously important role in communicating policy to the American people,
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: to be visible, to be out front, speaking for the administration,
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: speaking for the Department of Health and Human Services on
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: our ongoing efforts in whatever realm that may be within
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: the Department of Health and Human Services. Again, advocating for
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: our policy, explaining that policy. And then the Surgeon General
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: oftentimes will have their own initiatives. Classically, the Surgeon General
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: has been, of course, very involved in the smoking cessation program.
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: That really has been incredibly important. And the Office of
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: the Surgeon General, I'm sure that Dr. Sapphire will have
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: her own agenda. She'll, of course, be advocating for the
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: administration and for the Department of Health and Human Services.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: But I suspect she'll probably have her own things that
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: she'd like to tackle. And I'm looking forward to, in
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: any way that I can, helping her with that and
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: seeing what she does when she hits the ground running.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: So let's talk a little bit about some of your efforts,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: which I think have been really important and robust to
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: try to get people living a healthier lifestyle.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I've got new dietary guidelines for Americans.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: You guys are working really hard to get younger children
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: more activated, which I have four young children. And Admiral,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: they get caught up and not my kids, but their
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: friends are already hooked on the screens and like first, second,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: third grade, just crazy stuff.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: And I'm concerned about it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: You guys are bringing back the presidential fitness test.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Walk us through some of the things you're doing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's so important. When we look at
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: this country, we know that of the $ 5. 3 trillion that
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: we spend on health care in this country, probably 90%
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: of that is related to chronic disease and chronic mental
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: health conditions. We've been focused on chronic disease at the
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Kennedy. A
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: big part of our Make America Healthy Again agenda is
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: focused on chronic disease, diseases like obesity, hypertension, diabetes, chronic
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: mental health conditions, metabolic syndrome. We're really focused on those
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: things because so much of our treasure, so much of
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: our money is spent on that. And there are so
• 23:16
  Speaker 9: many lost years, lost productivity, lost years of happiness and pleasure,
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: lost actual lifetime related to chronic disease. So we're tremendously
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: focused on that. When you look at adults in this country, 40%
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: of adults in this country are obese. if you include
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: obesity and overweight and put them together, you know, you're
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: getting well over half your approach and 70% significant. If
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: you look at our kids in this country, 20% of
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: the children in this country are obese, 20%. And again,
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: a lot of it is, I'm sure linked to what
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: you're talking about, spending more time on the screens, more
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: time on the couch, more time playing video games than
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: being outside and running around and being in the woods
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: and being with your friends and being in the fresh air. Probably,
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: like you and I were when we were kids. So
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: we are tremendously focused on that because again, we spend
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: a lot of money, tremendous treasure spent on chronic disease.
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: Like I said, lost productivity. So it has a workforce ramification, 77%,
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: but get this 77% of young adults, men and women
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: age 18 to 25, the prime recruiting years for uniform service, 77%
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: are unfit to serve in the military. largely because of obesity,
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: but because of other chronic diseases, 77%. So there is
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: a national security ramification to the chronic disease epidemic in
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: this country. And we are tremendously focused under President Trump's leadership,
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: under the guidance of Secretary Kennedy, and with Secretary Kennedy's
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: tremendous enthusiasm to make America healthy again. We are focused
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: on getting America healthier. And we can talk about our
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: dietary guidelines and exercise and such, but this is a
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: tremendous problem for the country. You know, we have to
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: address it. We have to get people more active. You
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: mentioned the president's fitness test, the presidential fitness test being
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: rolled out again, which is really exciting. I'm so happy.
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: I remember as a kid, I suspect you did really
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: working hard to get that patch and take that test
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: and do well. Yeah, I loved it.
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: It was fun.
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: It's great. It's great. You know, a little healthy competition
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: is a good thing. Getting the kids active. Secretary Kennedy
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: has been literally crisscrossing the country, going to different boys
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: and girls clubs, going to different school districts, working, uh,
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: working out with the kids and teaching them how to
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: do the movements that are part of the presidential fitness test.
• 25:42
  Speaker 9: We've teamed up with superstars from the WWE and these individuals,
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: tremendously successful professional athletes, uh, have become educators and advocates
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: for getting the kids active. So there is a real
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: push in this country under President Trump, under Secretary Kennedy
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: and myself, to get people more active to try to
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: end the epidemic of chronic disease.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I endorse the presidential fitness test coming back, provided
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: you don't bring back the sitting V, because that was always.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: A huge moment of humiliation each and every year.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Because I'd be towards the top echelons of the class
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: in every category, aside from the sitting V, where I'd
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: be dead last every time. And I can't handle that
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: sort of humiliation. I don't want my kids to have
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: to go through that. Though I think they're probably more
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: flexible than I am. But it's such an important point
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: that there's a national security element to chronic disease. It
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: is bad for national security. And that's why you guys
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: are working hard to fix that. And you're not just
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: working for normal people. You're trying to get people in
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: our services to be.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: More fit.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: You were out in San Diego and you were with
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: the Public Health Commission Corps training with Navy SEALs.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: That's unbelievable.
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: What was that like? It was absolutely phenomenal. No, I'm
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: out here in San Diego doing some things with HHS.
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: And whenever I travel, I always try to get a
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: group of my Commission Corps Public Health Service officers together
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: because when I moved We moved into this position just
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: about a year ago, into the position as the Assistant
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: Secretary for Health and the Senior Admiral of the Commission Corps,
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: the uniform branch of the Public Health Service. I instituted
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: required PT training, twice a year physical fitness testing to
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: line up with the other uniform services. This has been
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: a real push. We launched something called PHS, Public Health Service,
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: PHS Mission Fit, which is really to get my officers
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: fit physically, emotionally, physically. mentally, spiritually, even to get my
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: officers ready to serve. And so we really buy into this.
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: And so I always try to get my officers together,
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: get a group together to drill and to do PT
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: together when I travel. And so we reached out since
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: we were going to be in San Diego, reached out
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: to the SEALs and they were gracious to bring us
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: onto their facility at Coronado Island. And there were a
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: group of SEALs of probably, there must've been 30 of
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: them out there with me and a half a dozen
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: other public health service officers. And we went out there
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: and we went at it, man. It was a tough,
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: tough workout. We did it in teams.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: So give us some details.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I want to hear about it. Admiral, what's in the workout?
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: We started out on their training field, just doing some warmups,
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: you know, some stretches, some lunges, you know, just some
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: light calisthenics to get stretched out. Then we moved into
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: their weight room, which was an amazing facility. And we
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: worked on some, we moved on some shoulder presses with dumbbells, pull-ups, Uh, again,
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: weighted lunges. So we're trying to get the blood flowing
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: a little more, get the heart rate up a little more.
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: And then we moved in. Then we moved into the
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: main part of the workout and the main part of
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: the workout. It was a team workout. There were five
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: members on each team was me and four other seals
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: and then similar teams, other teams out there. And we
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: started off with, uh, the rowing machine, the rowing erg,
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: and 250 calories, and you break that up amongst the
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: team members, 250 calories, which is a lot when you
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: get on a rowing erg and you start pulling that thing,
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: you see how long it takes to get to one calorie.
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: 250 calories. Then we moved on to the next station.
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: We bear crawled to the next station, which was then push-ups,
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: 250 push-ups, strict push-ups split between the team. Then we
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: lunged to the next section, and it was air squats,
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: 250 of them. And then we burpee'd. broad jump to
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: the next, which was 250 burpees, and we were hitting it.
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: And then after you do all that, you run back
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: to the rower, another 250 calories. It was a gasser.
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: But I'm telling you what, when I got there and
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: met the Seals, introduced myself to the team, and they
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: were phenomenal, these young men there. And of course, there
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: are also some young women support staff and people who
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: are there serving our country. I said, listen, I said,
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: I take uniform service very, very seriously. As the ass,
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: you can serve as a civilian, or you can ask
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: the president for commission and serve in uniform. That was
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: important to me. And I said, I want to come
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: out here because I want you to know what my
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: public health service officers are capable of. I want you
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: to understand them. I said, but we come out here
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: to honor you. We come out here to show respect.
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: We come out here to gut it out with you
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: to earn your respect. And it was phenomenal. The response.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I only got, yeah, I only got 30 seconds.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Give me a takeaway for people at home. What, what
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: they can do to start getting more involved, get their
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: kids more involved.
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: Thank you. So again, the presidential fitness test, very important.
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: Encourage your kids, To get out and to get active,
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: to be outside, go on walks with the family. You know,
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: we released our dietary guidelines, eating healthier food. So cook
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: a healthy meal together as a family. Sit down on
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: the table and eat.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Love it.

• 30:45
  Speaker 1: check out Admiral.
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: Brian Christine's.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Twitter as well as X, the everything app and follow
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: everything at HHS. I just like that they're doing not
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: just healthcare, but not just sick care, but healthcare. Like
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: you're trying to get people healthier, make it fun, cook
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: with your family, make it a thing. I cook for
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: my family.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: It was Mrs. Dr. Marlowe's birthday yesterday. Shout out Mrs.
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: Dr.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: Marlowe.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: And I cooked for her. I cooked for the family
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: and she made her own birthday cake because she's an
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: amazing baker, which the kids ate and the kids were
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: eating for breakfast this morning. I said, Hey, I want
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: to get in on that later.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: It's going to be gone. So that's great. Just make
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: it that.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: You make it more fun and you get more fit
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: that way. They're also looking at sleep, which seems to
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: be the missing piece for me. I don't sleep well
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: naturally and with the obsessive nature of my work and
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: then the four children. I haven't slept in a very
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: long time and I don't think that's going to change
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: anytime soon. So earlier in the day, I was talking
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: a little bit about Chinese communism and how we need
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: to be on the lookout for it. Well, they got
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: an endorsement from the spokesperson for the Democrat Party, Hassan Piker,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: This is yesterday on a Sompiker stream.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Could play cut 20, guys.
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: I will throw you in prison, okay? I want to
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: put you physically behind a prison. I want Chinese-style communism
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: to happen inside of the Democratic Party right now, okay?
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: I want to do cultural revolution when I see that.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, good stuff.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: So this is a guy talking to other Democrats, and
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: he wants them to have a Chinese-style torture. It's just really,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: really important to note how nutty these guys are, and
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: we're going to give things away to them. James Tallarico's pastor,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: a person named Reverend Babs Miller, said something so outrageous,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I feel like people's jaws were– I could hear people's
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: jaws hitting the floor around the country.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Play cut 19, gentlemen.
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: Mary and the virgin birth. comes out of the pagan
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: belief that the gods came down and impregnated people that
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: people were still hanging on to during that time. We
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: have no way of knowing if Jesus really existed any
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: more than we have of knowing that the original Buddha
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: ever existed.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: A lot of the content I'm going to be putting
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: out on the podcast feed coming up is about the
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: weakness of churches and how a lot of churches have
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: just gotten so weak, particularly after the coronavirus. I think
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of people wisened up to this, where they
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: allowed for their churches to get shut down while the
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: strip clubs were open, the liquor stores were open.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: And they said, no, that's cool.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: And they're very weak on things like being multiple genders,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: stuff like that, all that, which is anti-Bible. Right there, Genesis,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: beginning of Genesis, there are men and women, that's it.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: There weren't 26 genders, as James Tallarico says. And now
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: you learn Tallarico's pastor says there's no way of knowing
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: if Jesus existed. Repulsive stuff. Repulsive stuff.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: So one thing that's.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Happening today is the venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen is
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: being beatified, American Catholic priest, bishop, theologian, and author, and
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: was also a pioneering radio and televangelist. And this is
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: a big moment for Catholics.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: It's a big day.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I don't try to make the show too Catholic, so
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not dwelling on it more than that. But I
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: got one cut of him.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Can we play 14? This is Fulton Sheen, guys.
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: The second paragraph of our Declaration of Independence states... that
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: it is a self-evident principle that the Creator has endowed
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: man with certain unalienable rights. In other words, we have
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: rights and liberties, like freedom of press, freedom of conscience,
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: freedom of association, which do not come from the government,
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: which do not come from the will of a majority,
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: which do not come from a state, These rights and
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: liberties come to us from God. Therefore, the state cannot
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: take them away. That is our principle. Now they have
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: to deny God because that would be another source of
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: rights than the state or the party.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Incredible rhetoric and also a lot of wisdom there.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: And Tuff, a strong guy who understood that separation of
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: church and state is a fake thing and we are
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: a Judeo-Christian nation without which our founding documents are rendered meaningless.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Very cool stuff and a very cool day for Catholics.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: All right, one other thing that Catholics, but all I
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: think decent Americans could agree on is that we have
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: way too many abortions in this country. There are 31,470,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, 31,407 kindergartners who started school in the last
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: month who wouldn't be alive if it hadn't been for
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: pre-born and what they did in 2020 alone. That's how
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: many babies they saved that year with gifts of ultrasounds
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: from people just like you and me.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I donate as well.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Backpacks, lunch boxes, getting up early, making the kids their
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: perfect lunch, five years of love, walking them to school,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: waving goodbye, the most beautiful moments of my day, all
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: this type of stuff that women are experiencing because they
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: chose life. And they did it because they got this
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: ultrasound from pre-born and it costs just 28 bucks. So
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: 140 bucks, five ultrasounds, 280, that's 10, $ 15, 000 gets a
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: free ultrasound machine and an amazing write-off, save babies for
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: years to come. $ 20 a month, save a baby a
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: month all year long for less than a dollar a day.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Give the gift of life. This is so important. It's essential.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: It's a happy, upbeat message. 833-850-BABY is the number. 833-850-2229.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Or go to preborn.com slash Marlo. Or to go to
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: alexmarlo.com today, hit the Preborn banner. Are they giving me
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: an extra minute? Because this is normally when I got
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: to leave.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Now, this is it. Go in peace, love, and serve
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the Lord.
