- 0:55in Jerusalem this morning live thanks to our friends at
- 0:59Jerusalem News.
- 1:03Speaker 1: By the way, there was not in the speeches you
- 1:05probably know shocked.
- 1:07Speaker 5: I don't know what it was, but right over here.
- 1:10Speaker 1: And it just seems to make whether we like it
- 1:14or not, this has been one of the greatest wartime presidents.
- 1:19This is what been one of the greatest wartime presidents.
- 1:22And cigars and Champagne. Who the hell cares about that?
- 1:44All Right, enough controversy for the day. Right, It's actually
- 1:48I don't think it's very controversial. So you know, I mean,
- 1:51I see so popular. You are a very popular man.
- 1:54You know why because you know how to win.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Talking to Prime Minister Netanyah, who making allusions to the
- 2:01investigations into it, he mentioned earlier that Yahoo dead. You've
- 2:11seen a lot of American presidents, many.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Of the families of the Israelis and taken hostage, and
- 2:17those that were taken hostage unbelievable. I've looked into their eyes.
- 2:21I've seen the worst nightmares of their suffering. But I've
- 2:25also seen something else, the beautiful love of the people.
- 2:28Speaker 7: The love of people, frankly that hold things together, the
- 2:32love that gives you the courage to carry on through
- 2:35thousands of years of persecution and repression.
- 2:39Speaker 1: And to emerge with the heart of David. It's the
- 2:42heart of David. It's that love that's defeated the enemies
- 2:46of civilization, built the incredible country and this unbelievable economy,
- 2:52and forged one of the great democracies of the world.
- 2:56That is why it's a true honor to stand here
- 2:58today and address this assembly in your ancient and eternal
- 3:03now capital, Jerusalem. I'm proud to have helped in that regard.
- 3:08The city and this nation stand as living proof that
- 3:12a much brighter future for this entire region is truly
- 3:15within our grasp. For thousands of years, Jerusalem has been
- 3:19a home to Christians, Jews, Muslims, and people of all
- 3:24ethnicities and creeds. This is the holy center of the
- 3:28world's three great Abrahamic faiths. I like that too, adorned
- 3:36the first time I've seen that word in a while.
- 3:39Adorned with their sacred sites, and alive with their pilgrims
- 3:43and visitors from every corner of the globe. But here
- 3:47between the Western Wall, the Temple Mount and the hill
- 3:52called Calvary, people of every faith and background live, work, prey, serve,
- 3:58and raise their family side side, and they do it
- 4:01with love. This example is just one of the modern
- 4:06miracles that Israel has given to the world. And just
- 4:10in closing, the leaders in this chamber no better than
- 4:13anyone else, the challenges of this harmony, and it's been
- 4:18easily won.
- 4:20Speaker 5: No, it hasn't.
- 4:21Speaker 7: It has not been.
- 4:23Speaker 1: It's been so tough, but it has been some say
- 4:28a miracle. What you've done is a miracle. Look at
- 4:31your size, look at your chances when it all started.
- 4:36And you know, if you think about it, you are
- 4:39safer today, stronger today, and more respected today than at
- 4:44any time in the history of Israel. Think of it.
- 4:50Speaker 5: So special presentation of first thing today, President Trump, live
- 4:54in Jerusalem exists.
- 4:56Speaker 1: They don't say that anymore. Do they yet have safety?
- 4:59Secure in coexistence? Can thrive here in the winding alleys
- 5:03an ancient paths of Jerusalem, then surely peace and respect
- 5:07can flourish among the nations of the broader Middle East.
- 5:11The God who once dwelled among his people in the
- 5:14city still calls us, in the words of scripture, the
- 5:18turn from evil and do good, to seek peace and
- 5:22pursue it. So he still whispers truth into the hills
- 5:26and knows and valleys of his magnificent creation. And he
- 5:30still writes hope into the hearts of his children all
- 5:33over the world. And that is why, even after three
- 5:36thousand years of pain and conflict, the people of Israel
- 5:40have never given up from the threats of Zionism. From
- 5:44all sorts of threats. You want, you want the promise
- 5:50of Zion. You want the promise of success and hope
- 5:54and love and God and the people of America have
- 5:58never lost faith in the promise of a great and
- 6:01blessed future for all of us. From the very first
- 6:04day that modern Israel was founded, we have stood together,
- 6:07through thick and thrin thin of setbacks, and through victory
- 6:14and defeat, through glory and heartache. We have built industries together.
- 6:19We have made discoveries together. We have confronted evil together,
- 6:23and we have waged war together. And perhaps most beautifully
- 6:27of all, we have made peace together. And this week,
- 6:30against all odds, we have done the impossible and brought
- 6:34our hostages home.
- 6:42Speaker 5: President Trump, addressing the Knesset this morning, Special presentation of
- 6:46our first Things this morning. Yes, he threatened to give
- 6:50Ukraine some missiles, some tomahawks if peace doesn't break out
- 6:56there soon. We'll get more of that coming up.

- 8:04Speaker 9: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
- 8:46in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

- 10:05Speaker 11: Their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
- 10:08Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
- 10:11or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:14or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:23in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:25by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:29wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32they also perform life saving work every day.

- 14:02nations of the Middle East will soon be safer, stronger, greater,
- 14:05and more prosperous than ever before.
- 14:12Speaker 5: So wrapping up the president, that's the Knesset, and.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I want to thank you all once again for this
- 14:17exceptional honor. This has been truly an honor. Seldom that
- 14:21a president is invited to do this.
- 14:24Speaker 5: And I love Israel.
- 14:27Speaker 1: I'm with you all the way. You'll be bigger, better, stronger,
- 14:33and more loving than ever before.

- 14:40Speaker 1: United States of America, and God.
- 14:42Speaker 5: Bless the Middle East. Thank you everybody. Good luck. On
- 14:46his way to Egypt now to meet with some of
- 14:49the Arab nations that are part of this cord. I've
- 14:54got an idea for the president. I think he needs
- 14:56to fly to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and I'm welcome in on
- 15:00the guest hotline. Nathan Benefield from the Commonwealth Foundation, Great Advocacy,
- 15:07great conservative group. They are much like the Virginia Institute
- 15:11for Public Policy I work with here. Nathan. Thanks for
- 15:14hanging on the line. Thanks for moving back a little bit.
- 15:16Since the president picked right in the middle of my
- 15:18show to start talking to the Knesset, But I'm glad
- 15:21to have you on and talk about a piece of
- 15:23cord that maybe we need the President to fly into
- 15:25Harrisburg and try to get the Pennsylvania budget done on time,
- 15:29never mind the US budget. How are you doing this morning, sir.
- 15:33Speaker 20: Oh, I'm doing all right. Thanks for having me.
- 15:35Speaker 5: So how many times has I think, is it a
- 15:39shorter list to go through the number of years that
- 15:42Pennsylvania has actually managed to get their budget done on time?
- 15:51Speaker 20: Absolutely, it's been almost every year it's late.
- 15:53Speaker 15: I know that was a few years back in the
- 15:56under Governor Corbett almost twelve years ago where he tried
- 15:58to get the budget done on time. Under Governor Wolf
- 16:01and now Governor Shapiro every year and Governor Sapuiro is
- 16:03now three for three and having a late state budget.
- 16:07Speaker 5: What is the hang up this time? Is it? Is
- 16:11it because of the federal government. I'm sure if some
- 16:13folks in the Assembly are blaming them.
- 16:17Speaker 15: That was a little bit of the blame of like, hey,
- 16:19we was uncertainty there, but really it is you know,
- 16:22the governor's proposal came out wanting to spend almost seven
- 16:26billion dollars more than what the state's going to collect
- 16:29in revenues and drain, yeah, drain all of our reserve funds.
- 16:34There's something called this the rainy day fund, which is
- 16:37literally set aside for emergencies and in cases of recession,
- 16:41be wanting to drain that now just to float more spending.
- 16:44Speaker 20: And so that's been been the.
- 16:45Speaker 15: Issue of wanting to spend more than we have in
- 16:48revenues and enforce a tax like next year.
- 16:51Speaker 20: That's really been driving.
- 16:52Speaker 15: Force and why uh, you know, we have a divided legislature.
- 16:55The House Democrats have kind of gone along with Governor
- 16:58Shapiro are wanting to spend a lot of deficit spending,
- 17:01but the Senate, controlled by Republicans, and said, no, we
- 17:04want to reduce that deficit, bring the budget into balance.
- 17:07I'm only trying to make Pennsylvania more competitive. So there's
- 17:09just a huge difference in how much to spend up
- 17:13this year.
- 17:14Speaker 5: The concept of a rainy day fund is very important
- 17:17to I think administering a state, especially when it is
- 17:20large and it's different. You know that a lot of
- 17:23people call it Penncil tucky because there's enormous amounts of
- 17:26red it looks like the United States map. And I've
- 17:29lived in let's see, Lancaster, Westchester State College, so I
- 17:33mean Altoona. Been all over Pennsylvania myself for years, and
- 17:38it was great being in those vast red areas that
- 17:43you know, kind of keep Pittsburgh and Philadelphia from bumping
- 17:46into one of each other. But you know, the idea
- 17:50of having a rainy day fund is really truly that
- 17:54when a nor'easter strikes or a wild crazy hurricane gets
- 17:59all the way in and and starts flooding Harrisburg. I
- 18:02was there. I was on the air when the entire
- 18:06rail line from Harrisburg to Philadelphia was flooded out because
- 18:10the Shenandoah River crested its banks and just flooded through
- 18:14the city. That's what your rainy day fund is there for.
- 18:19Speaker 21: Yeah.
- 18:19Speaker 15: Absolutely, it's for those divergencies and in case of the
- 18:22where there are major recessions. And the last time we
- 18:25had actually used the rainy day fund was in two
- 18:28thousand and eight during the Great Recession, when the state
- 18:31was bringing in a lot less revenue. Obviously during that
- 18:34I had to end up, you know, using the rainy
- 18:36day fund then to try and you know, sustain some programs.
- 18:40Speaker 20: Early had drained it then hadn't rebuilt it. But this
- 18:43year the.
- 18:43Speaker 15: Governor's proposed transferring one and a half billion dollars out
- 18:47of the Rainy Day Fund, even as revenues is growing,
- 18:49Even as he's talking about, well, our county was great
- 18:52right now thanks to me, there's definitely no justification for
- 18:56draining our emergency fund.
- 18:58Speaker 5: Down when you look at you know, the economy is
- 19:02doing great because of me. Kind of attitude of the
- 19:04governor Shapiro in Pennsylvania, is he whistling past the graveyard
- 19:10or is he trying to feather a twenty twenty eight
- 19:14ascendancy or a little bit of both. From where you
- 19:17sit in Nathan, yeah, it's.
- 19:20Speaker 20: A little bit of both.
- 19:20Speaker 15: But certainly I think there is you know, the presidential
- 19:23ambitions and looking at twenty twenty eight in terms of
- 19:26what you know, what he's doing and anything in terms
- 19:29of you know, we've gone now one hundred days without
- 19:31a state budget, and you think the governor will be
- 19:33talking about that all the time or making changes, but
- 19:36really he's going around and doing press conferences talking about
- 19:39either either things that he's done and you know, trying
- 19:42to celebrate himself or commenting on on Donald Trump and
- 19:45national issues and really not even focusing on the issues
- 19:49in the state.
- 19:50Speaker 5: Well, what, you know, what sort of things down here
- 19:52in the you know, United States when there's a partial
- 19:55government shut down, there are things now we're debating getting
- 19:58the military use checks ranked and out, that kind of thing.
- 20:02What things get restricted in Pennsylvania when there's no budget
- 20:08to spend on.
- 20:11Speaker 15: Yeah, well, the thing in Pennsylvania there was a lawsuit
- 20:13that said state workers have to get paid even during
- 20:16an impast, so that still goes out, as well as
- 20:19kind of the welfare payments. But funding to school districts,
- 20:23funding to counties that those things are held up in
- 20:26a lot of nonprofits that depend on state funding don't
- 20:29get anything during Those are the groups that are kind
- 20:32of lobbying and saying, hey, we're we're having to make
- 20:34cuts now because we're not getting the state funding we
- 20:36rely on. And some for some cases that's you know,
- 20:39for school districts that can be anywhere from thirty to
- 20:41sixty percent of their overall funding that's being delayed. So
- 20:46those are the those issues that are that are you know,
- 20:49the top pressure points for for longmakers.
- 20:51Speaker 5: Chief policy officer at the Commonwealth Foundation. Find them a
- 20:55Commonwealth Foundation dot org covering all of the crazy idea
- 21:00is that can flow out of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. Nathan,
- 21:05how closely divided is the legislature in Harrisburg or does
- 21:09it lean you know, too far one side or the other.
- 21:14Speaker 20: Yeah, it is is very evenly divided.
- 21:16Speaker 15: The Senate, you know, the Republicans have a twenty seven
- 21:19to twenty three edge out of fifty members, and in
- 21:22the House there's one of three members, but the Democrats
- 21:25have only a one seat edge, so it really is
- 21:28very evenly divided. That one seat edge gives them the
- 21:31ability to control what actually gets gets voted on, what's
- 21:34on the agenda, and so a lot of ideas that
- 21:37we think could could pass, and even a reasonable state
- 21:40budget probably could pass, but we'll never get voted on
- 21:42based on simply the having that one seat majority in
- 21:45the House.
- 21:46Speaker 5: You talk about something that's frustrated me here in the
- 21:48Commonwealth of Virginia as well, a one seat majority. It
- 21:52gives some of the It gives the Democrats in Virginia eight,
- 21:55you know, a five to two majority in some of
- 21:59these sub committee.
- 22:01Speaker 22: Ay Brandt and her name is Shary I love. She's
- 22:04a friend of mine whom we were just praying for
- 22:07because of a surgery. She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 23: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:12talk about all the time, which is medashare. That is right.
- 22:14Speaker 22: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
- 22:17and healthcare ability?
- 22:18Speaker 23: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
- 22:21you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
- 22:24Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:31call in with your need, that.
- 22:32Speaker 22: Is just refreshing.
- 22:34Speaker 23: Yes, that's what it is.
- 22:35Speaker 5: What I keep telling people.
- 22:36Speaker 22: People love meda share and they love saving money. The
- 22:39typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
- 22:42Speaker 23: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
- 22:46and I mean different in a very very good way.
- 22:48Speaker 22: It is good different.

- 23:06Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:16up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
- 23:20veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:31and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:35on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
- 23:48your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
- 23:53center of our profession. For more information on AI and

- 24:03Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:13am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:46in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 24:50healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

- 28:29fact the song was actually supposed to be Levittown, but
- 28:31his record company said, nobody knows where Levittown is. So
- 28:40our friends listening on Long Island News Radio and also
- 28:45RSC and RTA in Altoona and State College visiting with
- 28:49Nathan Bennettfield from the Commonwealth Foundation. Now months and months
- 28:54Pennsylvania without a budget as well. Does there need Nathan
- 29:00in an abstract you're seeing the same thing that I
- 29:02suffer through here in Virginia, where you know, a one
- 29:04seat majority in the Virginia Senate and the Democrats take
- 29:09a nine to three you know, subcommittee, so nothing ever
- 29:13gets to the floor unless you can get you know,
- 29:16six Democrats to go along with it. Does there need
- 29:20to be something constitutionally made so that you know, these
- 29:24these bodies are more representative. I mean, I hate to
- 29:28say Washington may do something better, but at least the
- 29:30committees are you know, one seat majority to the party
- 29:35that's in the majority in the larger house.
- 29:39Speaker 20: Yeah, that's a good question.
- 29:39Speaker 15: What there it should be set something constitutionally of how
- 29:42this is structure, because it is in it's not quite
- 29:44as bad, but there is you know, a one seat
- 29:46majority in the entire House, but a two seat majority
- 29:49in every committee or three seats in the larger Appropriations committee,
- 29:52and a lot of things don't get to the floor
- 29:55because of that. And is that the rules even to
- 29:57make it difficult to use the discharge petition to move
- 30:00move letization that is.
- 30:02Speaker 20: Very very popular.
- 30:03Speaker 15: Is a few bills out there that there are discharge
- 30:05misitions to try and get it out of committee that
- 30:07have bipartisan support, but doesn't have the support of the
- 30:10Democrat leadership. So it is an issue where you know,
- 30:13them signing their own rules does does lead to.
- 30:17Speaker 20: You know, blocking, you know, to block a lot of policy.
- 30:19Speaker 5: Well, Virginia and Pennsylvania are pretty important in the foundation
- 30:23of this nation. I would argue that the two states
- 30:26that made the United States what it is are your
- 30:30state of mind and you know, and and that idea
- 30:34of a republic that makes sure the minority voice gets heard.
- 30:40Seems like these committees are behaving in the most boring
- 30:47anti constitutional way by making sure that these minority voices
- 30:51are not being heard for political gain. It seems like,
- 30:55am I am I crazy? I mean, I know, I'm
- 30:57sort of tilting at a windmill abstract, but that's might
- 31:01bent sometimes. Yeah, yeah, I do.
- 31:03Speaker 15: Think there's there's certainly I've seen that in Pennsylvania as well,
- 31:08kind of the majority rule and everything. And I was
- 31:11looking on the floor where there's amendments being offered to
- 31:14a bill that will be you know, chaerwll to say
- 31:17this amendment is out of order and and.
- 31:19Speaker 20: That's that's the ruling.
- 31:20Speaker 15: And of course the vote party line to uphold the
- 31:23ruling of the chair that it's out of order, unconstitutional,
- 31:25rather than actually have a vote on that that proposal.
- 31:28So it really locks blocks a lot of opportunity to
- 31:31vote on an RVY very very good policy, some by
- 31:35by desclaring it using the rules to the block block
- 31:38of minority.
- 31:39Speaker 5: Are there voices in this you know, wild spending, you
- 31:44know side of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, And it sounded
- 31:48like what you said in the onset was that where
- 31:50some Republicans aren't necessarily against all this stuff. And I
- 31:54remember when I was in Westchester actually supporting Joe Sestak
- 31:58because his opponent claimed that his big his big claim
- 32:05to fame was keeping the osprey he's getting manufactured in
- 32:08the district. But that being said, are there are there
- 32:13voices who are speaking out against the orthodoxy of just
- 32:16spend more leave a good looking corpse you know sort
- 32:20of the I don't know if you want to pick
- 32:23like what's happening with Senator Fetterman where you know, for heresy,
- 32:28he's you know it joins the Republicans and some things.
- 32:32What's happening on that. Are there voices that could bring
- 32:35some sense to this eventually?
- 32:37Speaker 15: Nathan, Well, I mean there there hasn't been kind of
- 32:41the on the Democrat side like that like that, they've
- 32:44you know, kind of kept at least kept quiet on that.
- 32:47But this certainly is with the Senate Republican leadership of
- 32:49really talking about, you know, bringing budget into balance and
- 32:52avoiding the tricks of the past. And then our state
- 32:54treasurer State Segarity, who is a Republican was elected re
- 32:58elected two years ago. He's really talked about, you know,
- 33:01the need to preserve that rainy daython. That's something she
- 33:04kind of stewards and invests that and has kind of
- 33:07brought some voice to a need to protect that and
- 33:09prect our credit ratings and other things that depend on
- 33:13protecting on keeping our reserves and not raising taxes. So
- 33:17there's showing our voices out there talking about fiscal sanity
- 33:21and protecting taxpayers.
- 33:23Speaker 5: Well, hopefully they go. What I remember one year when
- 33:27I was in Pennsylvania, I think it actually went three
- 33:30hundred and sixty five days before they got anything done,
- 33:34so they were late. On top of being late, I
- 33:37think we went an entire year. Am I am I
- 33:39misremembering something? Am I having a mental I think?
- 33:43Speaker 20: Yeah, I think it was more.
- 33:44Speaker 15: I think it was nine months was the longest one
- 33:46I can remember, and went through. But the governor had
- 33:48was proposing his second budget well at the first budget
- 33:51wasn't done yet, and of.
- 33:52Speaker 20: Course used his speech to be very critical of that.
- 33:55Speaker 15: But eventually they got that that budget done, but ended
- 33:58up spending up less than than the budget he had
- 34:02vetoed on months earlier. So I think that that continued
- 34:06to have that that fight then as now is important
- 34:09too to be able to protect taxpayers from a massive
- 34:11tax site.
- 34:12Speaker 5: Well, yeah, and that's the key thing, Nathan. Thank you
- 34:14so much for everything you do at the Commonwealth Foundation. Uh,
- 34:17and keep fighting the good fight, hold their feet to
- 34:20the fire.
- 34:20Speaker 21: Uh.
- 34:21Speaker 5: And we'll talk to you again very soon. All right,
- 34:24thanks for having me, not at all, thank you for rescheduling.
- 34:28I just got this text message up in Lowell. They're like, hey, hey,
- 34:32Massachusetts did a little some something too, Yes, yes, and
- 34:36the Adams family comes after me. Now, doctor Clark is
- 34:40hanging on the line. At four three four eight eight
- 34:43two four to two one seven. President took the podium
- 34:46in the middle of your first phone call. So thanks
- 34:48for calling back. How are you? Oh, I'm all good.
- 34:52Speaker 24: And you know, as we learned earlier, what the world
- 34:55needs now is Trump more Trump. So I was glad
- 34:59to yield the call to him.
- 35:01Speaker 5: You know, you'll lead the floor. You said you had
- 35:03a question about what I was saying about a cutter.
- 35:09Speaker 24: No, no, about about Christian nationalists.
- 35:12Speaker 5: Well, all right, so they're connected because Laura Lumer was there,
- 35:18and just hang on the line. We've got folks line
- 35:20and ringing in online too, So hang on a second
- 35:22here we'll finished with doctor Clark. But Laura Lumer took
- 35:27to her social media to have this I don't know
- 35:31tantrum about allowing Islam, allowing Muslims to live in the
- 35:36United States, but mostly about Katari pilots being trained by
- 35:42Air Force pilots to fly F fifteen's off of a
- 35:45base in Idaho. And I said, you know, it's rantings
- 35:49like this that give all the people who want to
- 35:52claim that there's this big movement of Christian nationalism out there.
- 35:58It gives them fuel for it. Because as fringy as
- 36:01she or any of the people who held their blood
- 36:04and soil riot and Charlottesville in twenty seventeen were they
- 36:09are a fringe. They just you know, because they tag
- 36:13President Trump and stuff. They try to drag mister Trump
- 36:17down with these folks who say this wild stuff.
- 36:22Speaker 24: So, Joe, white nationalists, I think is where we started.
- 36:28And we never really heard.
- 36:30Speaker 21: That until.
- 36:33Speaker 26: The globalists.
- 36:36Speaker 24: Started to realize that as long as people in America
- 36:39had nationalistic feelings, it was going to be hard to
- 36:43sell them on globalism.
- 36:44Speaker 21: So we have to vilify nationalism.
- 36:48Speaker 24: So they came out with wist because if you put
- 36:51white in front of it, it makes it easier to villify, obviously,
- 36:56And now it's Christian national us. And you know, if
- 37:02you have discussions, conversations, contact with consumers of agit prop,
- 37:10they're all over this Christian nationalist stuff right now.
- 37:13Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, it's all over the place. That's why
- 37:15I'm saying, she gives them fuel for this fire.
- 37:19Speaker 24: So, well, here's the thing. When we see a term
- 37:25that we're not familiar with. And I you know, prior
- 37:29to the Obama administration, show, had you ever heard of
- 37:33white nationalists?
- 37:35Speaker 5: No? Not since the Woodrow Wilson administration. Twenty seconds Saunter Clark.
- 37:41Speaker 24: Well, when we've see new terms of whole cloth come
- 37:45from nowhere, it means racist, sexist, misogynists is not working.
- 37:53Speaker 5: We need a.
- 37:53Speaker 24: New term, We need something new to vilify, We need
- 37:58a new Burgerman.
- 38:00Speaker 22: Well, life can change so abruptly.

- 45:01art academy here, and I'm trying to kind of introduce
- 45:06for thought to that world.
- 45:09Speaker 5: Well, good luck with that. How what's her view of
- 45:11what's going on in uh? In Israel?
- 45:15Speaker 26: So I met at her condo downtown UH and she's
- 45:20the only.
- 45:21Speaker 21: Jewish person in the room.
- 45:22Speaker 26: There were four white guys there and all Americans, all
- 45:27American born. Uh. But you know, in the art world, uh,
- 45:32Charles Miano is one of the greatest living art makers
- 45:37and teachers on the whole planet, not just happened to
- 45:40know him because of my you know, proclivity for.
- 45:43Speaker 21: Wanting to you know, find great art.
- 45:46Speaker 26: And we were having this incredible discussion when we came
- 45:50in and she was like, you know what's going on
- 45:53over there? And I was like, sure, I do. And
- 45:56she was like, well, you know, at midnight, you know,
- 45:59they're gonna be the release of the hostages. And she
- 46:03she actually has family over there that her hotel heires.
- 46:09Speaker 5: So okay, I probably.
- 46:10Speaker 26: Said that kind of in a redneck way.
- 46:12Speaker 21: But uh.
- 46:16Speaker 26: Okay. And so what's I'm fascinating for me is to
- 46:20engage with these folks and let them know the realities
- 46:26of things. But when I saw Trump this morning, it
- 46:30was unbelievable. I'm like, this dude is like doing it.
- 46:33And you know, you know, I think we're using our
- 46:38military might in good ways. But the this thing about
- 46:42Idaho is kind of fascinating to me because I went
- 46:45out to check on you know, after twenty five years,
- 46:48my person I helped start his own business is actually there.
- 46:53So I flew in and out of the airport there,
- 46:58and it was fascinating to me. We were driving to
- 47:01the airport, you know, coming angle and I passed something.
- 47:06I was like, well, what is that? And Robert was
- 47:08telling me, you know, it was a training base for
- 47:12you know, bowing, you know, pilots, And I was like, oh,
- 47:16and now this is all kind of tying back together.
- 47:19Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 47:19Speaker 26: I mean they're you know, Cutter has been and I'm
- 47:23probably saying this's wrong.
- 47:26Speaker 21: And I don't want.
- 47:26Speaker 26: To just get the Shaker riled up because she's getting
- 47:31the seventh Purple Heart, so bravery and you know, sticking
- 47:37it out there. You know, you know they bought the broth,
- 47:40they put together these incredible art collections.
- 47:43Speaker 5: But you were telling me about it. I mean, you know,
- 47:46hang on to that thought a second, Andy, because Cutter
- 47:48actually has a pretty big American air base uh there
- 47:52as well, if if I'm not mistaken.
- 47:55Speaker 26: So I've actually looked at it on Google Earth. So
- 47:59I'm you know, I'm well aware of all these things
- 48:02at you levels that probably are even higher than you.
- 48:07Speaker 21: No.
- 48:07Speaker 5: Well, I'm trying not to take that offence, even higher levels,
- 48:11even higher than mine. Andy, Hu. So you know, so
- 48:14you've got something. I can't pronounce the name of the
- 48:17American Air base in Cutter. It's ale A Hide or
- 48:21something like that. Air Base in Cutter, but I have
- 48:25I just don't see how these people claim that training
- 48:28Katari pilots is the same as giving Cutter an Army
- 48:33base on American soil, do.
- 48:34Speaker 26: You No, Absolutely not. I mean I can get to
- 48:38the back gated places that don't exist, so you.
- 48:41Speaker 21: Know, I've seen things.
- 48:43Speaker 26: I'm retired now, but and I think when I was
- 48:46active building things I can get.
- 48:48Speaker 21: Like I think I built something on the back side of.
- 48:51Speaker 26: Cope Air Force Base Base Wow there in North Carolina,
- 48:55And was only there because somebody's grandmother had died and
- 48:59no one.
- 49:00Speaker 21: The kid to have, you know, to go to the
- 49:02grandmother's funeral.
- 49:03Speaker 26: And so I got quick permission to, like you replace
- 49:08him on a job site. And so I had to
- 49:11actually go through on three different like large scales. I
- 49:15mean when they were going in and out of this place.
- 49:18And this is me with a you know, just a
- 49:21secoya fill with surveying equipment.
- 49:25Speaker 5: What is all this for? Mister? What are you surveying?
- 49:27Who do you work for? You know? Because that's the
- 49:30I wound up on the joint base in Virginia Beach
- 49:33one day. I wound up on there because I wanted
- 49:36to go see the first landing site, which is inside
- 49:39the joint base. And I get to the gate not
- 49:44expecting it because it just says on the map you
- 49:46can go to the joint base or you can go
- 49:48to the first landing site up this road. And I'm
- 49:50following the road and all of a sudden, I'm at
- 49:51this armed gate and a marine is coming up to me,
- 49:56and I didn't understand why he was giving me scrutiny,
- 49:58and I realized there was a fire arm company that
- 50:01had sponsored the paint paint job on our radio station vehicle.
- 50:05So he's he's you know, such and such firearms and that.
- 50:08I He's like, are you sure you have no guns
- 50:10in here, mister, And I'm like no, oh, so I'm
- 50:14sure serving appointment around them. Pretty army base would be
- 50:18a set off some alarms. So but good stuff. So
- 50:22you like the president speech, So.
- 50:25Speaker 20: Yeah, I watched.
- 50:26Speaker 26: I watched the whole thing, and it's just it's very
- 50:28rare that I would do something like that, but you know,
- 50:31I just it was, Uh.
- 50:34Speaker 21: He's engaging. He also gave credit to.
- 50:38Speaker 26: There's a billionaire lady whose husband was instrumental and a
- 50:44lot of the deals that they've done over time.
- 50:46Speaker 21: I thought that was pretty cool.
- 50:48Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, and she had some fancy clothes on. The
- 50:55lady who got the six purple heart is she has.
- 50:59Speaker 21: A couple billion at play.
- 51:01Speaker 26: But uh, and I hand delivered that one and then
- 51:07and she's going to be she's getting seventh plenty and
- 51:10that's it, all.
- 51:13Speaker 5: Right, good stuff, good stuff, Andy. Well, I appreciate your perspective.
- 51:17Speaker 26: But they care about a country too, And you know,
- 51:20whether they're on the other side of the world or not,
- 51:22they understand, you know, the cause of freedom is yeah,
- 51:28it knows no boundaries, right.
- 51:31Speaker 5: And it is it is a constant battle as well.
- 51:33Like I was saying to the other guy just in
- 51:35the last segment, I mean, we I'm watching these governments
- 51:38write their own rules that keep the minority voice with
- 51:42regardless of political party. But if you're the minority party,
- 51:46you should be able to bring some legislation to the floor.
- 51:49The way they're doing it is just so un American,
- 51:52and and I feel Virginia is embarrassing me with it.
- 51:55I'm told, oh, it's just the way we do things here. Uh.
- 51:58And I just think there's to be a better way
- 52:00to make sure minority voices are heard. Even if it's
- 52:03the other side. I don't care.
- 52:06Speaker 26: So one of our I can't remember who might have
- 52:09been the guy from Kentucky. But there was something I uh,
- 52:13but you know, I just I watched personally, was in an
- 52:17interview where he was getting deeper and deeper into things
- 52:21that only people can certain people can see.
- 52:23Speaker 21: And I mean he's an elected.
- 52:24Speaker 26: Member of Congress, and you know that was when he
- 52:28came out he was he might have been the.
- 52:30Speaker 21: Guy from Kentucky, Rand Paul.
- 52:35Speaker 26: The other one.
- 52:35Speaker 5: I'm up against the end of the show here, Andy,
- 52:40But I appreciate it, my friend, and for you all,
