Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
- 0:10defending biblical Christianity.
- 0:13No topic, off limits.
- 0:16And now, here's your host, David Firazzo.
- 0:19Hey, friends.
- 0:21God bless you.
- 0:22Thanks for watching and sharing the podcast.
- 0:23Have a special treat for you today.
- 0:25And Leffler is with us, formerly of Steel on Steel Radio, great podcast for years.
- 0:31But I want to thank some friends who have been getting ahold of us and making some donations
- 0:35to World View Matters.
- 0:36It is tax deductible, by the way.
- 0:38The most recent is from Don and Nina, Wisconsin.
- 0:42Brother, thank you.
- 0:43We appreciate it.
- 0:44Now, there's so many on the list, I just find it interesting to go through the states
- 0:47that we've heard from because I've rattled off the names already.
- 0:51But we want to shout out to Minnesota, Las Vegas, Nevada, Maryland, Ohio, California,
- 0:59Wyoming, New York, Washington, Georgia, Nebraska, South Dakota, South Carolina, Minnesota.
- 1:06I already said yes, I did.
- 1:08Virginia and Iowa, what surprises me is there's no Texas yet.
- 1:13And I know John Leffler, anyway, let's bring in broadcast journalist John Leffler.
- 1:19He can get info on him at Candelite Christian Fellowship and his email, John at steelonsteel.com.
- 1:26Can't wait to talk about collapsing narratives.
- 1:29John Leffler, welcome to World View Matters.
- 1:31Greetings.
- 1:32Good to be black.
- 1:33Actually, I'm not back.
- 1:34The first time we've done this show, right?
- 1:35Yeah, we did some audio in the past where we talked to, solved a lot of world's problems.
- 1:40And here we are continuing.
- 1:43But let's start with, can you, you're a watchman on the wall, at least I consider you that.
- 1:47Can you really retire if you're a watchman on the wall?
- 1:50No, we did our radio show for 32 years.
- 1:54I've been in broadcasting since 1965.
- 1:56Wow.
- 1:57But about two thirds of it in news talks, some of it's secular, a lot of it Christian narrative.
- 2:02And after 32 years of tracking everything and we always dealt with the trends and got
- 2:09ahead of the curve, we were tried to stay six months out because there's so many data points
- 2:13in there.
- 2:14And I still do that.
- 2:15And since now is I'm just appearing on people's radio shows when I'm asked to do it rather
- 2:20than doing a daily show, which as you know, you know, people think radio is a glamour
- 2:24sport.
- 2:25It, yeah, there's a sort of a glamour side to it.
- 2:29But if you're going to do really good radio or podcast, there's a lot of research and
- 2:32effort, typically eight hours to do a one or two hour show.
- 2:37Wow.
- 2:38And so I finally decided, no, I need some perspective.
- 2:41So that's where we are.
- 2:42You were daily, too, right?
- 2:43Yeah, we were daily.
- 2:44Wow.
- 2:46For one, one time we were four to six PM drive time, we started in Denver, Colorado and
- 2:51had a pretty big listening audience on the front range.
- 2:54And then it expanded to different networks.
- 2:56And over the time you get thrown off some networks and added by other, it's the, the
- 3:01the fate of broadcast, right?
- 3:02Is it, you know, is good use to it.
- 3:05So John, where can people hear some of your past radio shows or your recent videos?
- 3:11Is it on rumble, candlelight Christian fellowship?
- 3:13Where else?
- 3:15We did a couple of recent things on the Middle East at candlelight Christian fellowship.
- 3:19And you can either go to their site, candlelight.org or go to rumble and search candlelight Christian
- 3:26fellowship.
- 3:27And there it is, a stone of stumbling.
- 3:29And we talked about the Middle East and how narratives are unraveling.
- 3:32Narratives are unraveling everywhere now.
- 3:35And that's what's going to guide where we are headed in the future days as they're
- 3:40heading in our direction.
- 3:42So let's talk about these collapsing narratives and the response, which is fascinating.
- 3:47I think there's a lot of pride involved.
- 3:50So they don't like it when narratives collapse.
- 3:53But I just want to toss out one to you right now.
- 3:55We've been hearing a lot about Christian nationalism.
- 3:58And since January six, a few years ago, they're trying to put Christians, conservatives,
- 4:03maybe Republicans, maybe independence, just patriotic Americans into one basket saying
- 4:07you're extreme, you're Christian nationalists announced, used in a derogatory way.
- 4:12Would that be one of the narratives?
- 4:14And will that collapse?
- 4:16That's more of a recent one.
- 4:17Yeah.
- 4:18That one is not a narrative propping everything up.
- 4:23And there are aspects of Christian nationalism, which I don't think we would subscribe to.
- 4:27Right.
- 4:28I can't endorse that openly.
- 4:29But what happens when a word like that becomes weaponized is that first it starts with
- 4:35a pretty concise definition like racist, all right.
- 4:38But then as it has its impact, people go, well, gee, golly-woolickers, that's a great
- 4:42word.
- 4:43Let's spread it out.
- 4:45And so then the definition tends to broaden out until finally becomes so broad that it
- 4:51doesn't mean anything anymore.
- 4:53And people are just basically, you know, somebody says, you're a racist, yeah, whatever.
- 4:57You have anything to contribute to the conversation, you know.
- 5:01And so that's the reason that is being weaponized right now is they understand that the Christian
- 5:08right has become a very important force and they're keeping their troops freaked out.
- 5:16And you really saw this freak out during the COVID lockdowns where, say, for example, people
- 5:22who had medical dispensation from wearing a mask and a police, let's not go back into
- 5:28that issue.
- 5:29Right.
- 5:30They'd go out to shop and there would be people up on their faces screaming at them in
- 5:35terror that they were the ones responsible for, you know, spreading the disease and killing
- 5:42babies and kids and all of that.
- 5:45And that shows you how susceptible a very sizable part of our population is to these narratives.
- 5:53And so that narrative right there is it's broadening out what they want to do is take
- 5:57the term white Christian nationalist and then smear it all over everything.
- 6:04And at candlelight, we saw an example of that.
- 6:06You can still find the documentary on YouTube, which was done by the Times of London and
- 6:12they came in and they try, they interviewed a bunch of people at the church and other
- 6:17parts of the area.
- 6:19And the whole issue is why so many conservatives were moving to North Idaho and they started
- 6:23out by saying, Oh, it's a great place.
- 6:24You have lakes and forests and mountains and hiking trails and bears and things like
- 6:29that.
- 6:31And then and they showed a bunch of pictures and we have a five star resort.
- 6:34And then they went, Oh, but Idaho has a dollar, okay.
- 6:41And then went back to the white area nation supremacist group that were here 25 years
- 6:47ago, but are no longer here and tried to connect our church, which is a Calvary Affiliated
- 6:53type of church with the white area nations.
- 6:57And you know, when the producer was here videotaping this, I went up and talked to him and said,
- 7:02Hi, I'm so and so and blah, blah, blah, and they did interview me.
- 7:05And I said, Are you here to do a documentary or a hit piece?
- 7:08And he gave me that typical progressive media look.
- 7:12You know, it's the like that, which means they're either blank inside or they realized
- 7:17they've been had and they interviewed me and they didn't use one second of the interview
- 7:21that I gave them because I didn't give them the juicy stuff they were looking for.
- 7:26You know, so they came in with a narrative.
- 7:29They just wanted stuff to reinforce the narrative and they go back and tell lies about
- 7:33us.
- 7:34And that's what that narrative Christian nationalism is all about.
- 7:37What would be one before we get into some you sent me in an email, including climate
- 7:42change.
- 7:43That's a big one.
- 7:44We've got to talk about.
- 7:45But what about we've got a big election coming up this year if there is going to be
- 7:49an election.
- 7:50I hope there is in 2024 in November.
- 7:54So what would be a narrative?
- 7:55They seem to be pointing a lot of people to to Trump and versus Biden and making about
- 8:02the personality rather than policy platform and procedure.
- 8:05But is there a narrative about the election or about Trump that you can share with us
- 8:09that might be crumbling or collapsing?
- 8:12No, because it's all part of silly season.
- 8:15What do you mean?
- 8:17Well, election is silly season in which all sorts of people say all sorts of things about
- 8:23their opponents that they can't prove.
- 8:25Let me give you an example, the whole issue of NATO.
- 8:28Trump made a comment when he was talking about NATO and he told Ursula Funderline, the
- 8:33head of NATO, not NATO, but the European Union, that, you know, if you guys don't
- 8:37mess up and start supporting your share of NATO the way you're supposed to, you get attacked.
- 8:41We're not going to come to your aid.
- 8:43Oh my gosh.
- 8:44Immediately.
- 8:45But the chattering classes just go eight doodles over the whole thing, you know.
- 8:50And in context, you understand what he's saying.
- 8:53Look, NATO is a group organization.
- 8:55You're not paying your fair share.
- 8:57You're not taking it seriously.
- 8:58So why should we?
- 9:00But they take one line out of context and then it's hours of commentary on MSLSD, you
- 9:07know, and the communist news network and some of the other unreliable channels of news.
- 9:13And I can speak as a professional of over five decades.
- 9:16I wouldn't go to them to for an honest report on news.
- 9:19I'd always have to corroborate it somewhere else, but so go ahead.
- 9:24John Leffler, before we go to climate change, yeah, talk about Gaza.
- 9:30I haven't had you on since, you know, what happened last October 7th, the demonic horrific
- 9:35attacks by Hamas on Israel.
- 9:38And I don't know what you mean as far as collapsing narrative where Gaza is concerned.
- 9:43So explain that.
- 9:44Okay.
- 9:45Well, in 1988, Hamas was founded.
- 9:48Its purpose is the gentle side of destruction of Israel.
- 9:51It has not changed in that and it still swears to it to this day.
- 9:55And even with the head of Hamas being in hiding, he's still trying to achieve that by getting
- 9:59the Arab world to revolt against Israel and to attack them.
- 10:02Okay.
- 10:03So, you know, from this, the power, here's an narrative from the river to the sea, Palestine
- 10:08will be free.
- 10:10Gaza was free.
- 10:12Gaza was free.
- 10:13You know, from 2005, the Israelis withdrew from it.
- 10:16They were gone 18, 19 years.
- 10:19The Israelis were gone.
- 10:20Did Hamas do anything with Gaza?
- 10:23Well, first of all, Hamas was selected in 2006 as representative of that part of the
- 10:28Palestinian government 2007.
- 10:30They revolted violently against Fataat was an armed war and sure enough, all the media
- 10:36just sat there and go, Oh, Jigali will occur, Jigali will occur.
- 10:40And from that moment on, Hamas has launched hundreds of thousands of missiles and rockets
- 10:45into Israel, launched incursions across the border, murdered Israelis yet, yet, yet,
- 10:50yet.
- 10:51And finally, it hit its peak on October 7th of last year when they killed over 1200 people,
- 10:57wounded over 5,000.
- 10:58I forget how many women they raped, blah, blah, blah, and Israel found they said, Basta,
- 11:03I love that Italian word.
- 11:04You know what that means.
- 11:05Basta, it's enough.
- 11:06Stop.
- 11:07Enough.
- 11:08Right.
- 11:09It's enough.
- 11:10And they said, we're going to take, take these people out.
- 11:11That's all we're going to do.
- 11:12Now, as soon as that happened, the world was shocked.
- 11:15And just like with the Trump election, the media goes into because it doesn't match their
- 11:21narrative.
- 11:22The narrative is the Jews came in in the beginning of the 20th century and occupied land that
- 11:28was owned by the Palestinians.
- 11:31That's not true.
- 11:32It's not historically true.
- 11:33That's what I did in these series, Stone of Stumbling.
- 11:36The land was empty.
- 11:38There were some Arab towns.
- 11:40There were some Yazidi villages, etc.
- 11:43The majority population in Jerusalem was Jewish, not Arab at the time.
- 11:47And they came in and they bought every scrap of land they bought.
- 11:51And finally, when we got to 1948, the UN said, look, we need to partition this into
- 11:56a small Jewish state.
- 11:58And the Arabs can have everything else, including generally, generally Jerusalem, as well,
- 12:04which is what they want.
- 12:05Israel said, please, we want to live in peace with our neighbors.
- 12:08Please, please, please, let's just sign this agreement and get on with life.
- 12:11The Arab world said, no, they attacked Israel.
- 12:13They attacked again in 1967.
- 12:15They attacked again in 1973.
- 12:18And now this is the next major attack.
- 12:20There have been a couple of others.
- 12:22So as soon as it happened, they go into this two days of obituaries, as I call them, until
- 12:27they figure out how they can flip it.
- 12:30Because the BBC, CNN, all these groups, they're notoriously anti-Israel.
- 12:34And I was saying to my wife at the time, watch, they're going to have to try to flip the
- 12:40narrative to make the heavies Israel and the victims of the Palestinians, the Hamas Palestinians
- 12:47in Gaza right now.
- 12:49As they believe in the communist narrative that the West adheres to under wocus pocus.
- 12:54And that is there are oppressors and oppressed.
- 12:57And Israel has to be the oppressor.
- 13:00And so within a couple of days, they had that rocket explode in the parking lot of the hospital.
- 13:06A lot of people were killed immediately, immediately without missing a beat.
- 13:11The BBC was on it and CNN and the other groups were right behind them, like Queen Elizabeth's
- 13:15Orgis after sausage.
- 13:17Okay.
- 13:18And they were going, you know, Israel bombed this hospital, look at the dead, okay, well, it turns
- 13:24out, of course, it was a Hamas missile that's very short and they should have known because
- 13:30over 10 to 30% of these missiles fail and they fall short into their own territory.
- 13:36But then the damage was done and then when Israel invaded and they said, look at all these
- 13:41people suffering.
- 13:42Look at all this.
- 13:43Look at all that.
- 13:44Now, as you brought it on yourself, now, I don't want to see people suffer.
- 13:48I wanted to be peaceful.
- 13:49I hate to see kids get killed in war.
- 13:52It's a terrible, terrible thing.
- 13:54But at least see it through the eyes of what was happening there.
- 13:58And so if you notice the Netanyahu government is determined to see this to its true end
- 14:04regardless of the world, the other narratives that have collapsed among the Israeli left,
- 14:09the narratives of the Israeli leftist elitists have been, well, the issue is just land.
- 14:14And if we just come up with a treaty and give them land and they get a government and we
- 14:18get land, then everything will be okay.
- 14:21Gaza completely shattered that myth.
- 14:24The idea that the Palestinians want peace, it's been shattered.
- 14:28The idea that a two-state solution is wanted by anybody in Israel or the Palestinians
- 14:33overwhelmingly, that's been shattered.
- 14:36But that's the policy that the Biden administration is pursuing, trying to hammer together a two-state
- 14:42solution.
- 14:43Well, what will guarantee your peace partner, who's your peace partner here?
- 14:47You have Israel's on one side.
- 14:49They say, okay, we'll respect the terms of a treaty.
- 14:53But Hamas didn't observe those terms that were already signed in some of the agreements
- 14:57from Oslo.
- 14:58The West Bank, you know, Fatah government hasn't done that.
- 15:01They've been a launching platform for terrorists into Israel ever since the second into Fatah erupted
- 15:08after the collapse of the peace talks in 2001.
- 15:11So who is your peace partner?
- 15:13You have to have a stable state.
- 15:15So then they come in and they say, oh, okay, well, we'll provide international guarantees.
- 15:22Okay, well, we've already determined that whether we look at Rwanda or what's going on between
- 15:26Russia and Ukraine, international guarantees don't mean zilch.
- 15:31Okay, because they write these guarantees down.
- 15:33But a couple of years later, when it comes time to call it do, the countries that make
- 15:38the guarantees go, you know, I don't know if the Brits can do this, oh, shucky do.
- 15:43Gully Willaker is, we are just so preoccupied with other things.
- 15:47We don't know if we want to do that, you know, and this is what happens.
- 15:51So look at the Budapest memorandum, Great Britain, United States, Russia, and I think France
- 15:56all agreed that Russia would respect the sovereignty of all of its neighboring countries
- 16:01after the Soviet Union fell.
- 16:03That's been totally shattered.
- 16:04Russia went into Georgia, Russia's gone into Ukraine.
- 16:07And that narrative is falling apart.
- 16:09The narrative of the right that Putin's a good guy is falling apart.
- 16:13He's not upholding Western Christian values.
- 16:16He's persecuting churches like evangelicals, Baptists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons,
- 16:21and other non-official denominations.
- 16:24In Eastern Ukraine, they are shutting down institutions like Christian orphanages,
- 16:29et cetera.
- 16:30Anything that's non-orthodox is being shut down by the Russians.
- 16:34You really have to look wholeheartedly at what's going on and understand that there's a lot
- 16:40of crossover going now, David, that's, and I predicted this as early as 2000s, that
- 16:45you're going to start to see weird crossovers between groups that we thought were allied
- 16:50or enemies, and suddenly people you thought were enemies are agreeing with each other,
- 16:54and people you thought friends disagree.
- 16:56You mean, we're bedfellows, is that what you mean?
- 17:00We're bedfellows.
- 17:01Strange bedfellows, so to speak.
- 17:03Yes, strange bedfellows, you know, and sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad, but you
- 17:09have to look at it with what I call truth-oriented eyes, not narrative eyes, okay?
- 17:15Your narrative must derive from the truth.
- 17:18Well, one of the most ridiculous, I guess, partnerships, yeah, would be the LGBTQ marching
- 17:27for Palestine, pro-Palestine.
- 17:29Like, this makes no sense whatsoever.
- 17:31Saying from the river to the sea, which means wipe out Israel, right, that's what that
- 17:35means, but they're on college campuses, and because what you said, very insightful,
- 17:41there's got to be a victim, there's got to be an oppressed oppressor.
- 17:43So Marxism, they're all familiar with, they're all behind Marxist principles in K through
- 17:4812, and now at the university level in America.
- 17:51Now, so you see these odd things, they're marching for Palestine, just share your thoughts
- 17:55on that before we get to climate change.
- 17:57Well, that's because of relativism, and all of focus, focus is based on relative ideas
- 18:04that come out of postmodern, which most millennials have been trained in in postmodern ideas
- 18:10and thinking, and therefore you wind up with this giant panoply of conflicting self, self-contradicting
- 18:16ideas.
- 18:17And that's what intersectionality is all about, intersectionality is supposed to harmonize
- 18:22all of these contradictions by simply ranking whose contradiction trumps somebody else's
- 18:28contradiction.
- 18:29I mean, it's really, it's insane, David, you know, well, it is to you and me, right,
- 18:34and it doesn't make any sense whatsoever because, you know, and for the situation, say,
- 18:39for the Uighur Muslims in Western China, who are being very badly persecuted, along
- 18:45with the Christians of China, they've been thrown in concentration camps to over a million
- 18:50or something like this.
- 18:53And I was talking to the head of the Uighur representative government in exile, and I
- 18:59finally said, well, you know, you're a Muslim, and these are all Muslims.
- 19:03What are all the Muslim countries doing to defend these people?
- 19:07And he said, they're not.
- 19:09So the people who are defending them are the Jews and the Christians.
- 19:12Go figure.
- 19:13So, yeah, it's like one of these go figure, yeah.
- 19:19So John, explain to us how the climate change narrative is collapsing.
- 19:25I mean, there's so much information for those who really want to look it up in research
- 19:30about what is actually happening worldwide with the climate and with the global warming.
- 19:35Right, right.
- 19:36I mean, people just buy the talking points.
- 19:38They buy the narrative.
- 19:39They follow their favorite, you know, Leonardo DiCaprio, or their favorite celebrity over
- 19:43the, you know, and then, okay, I'll be behind saving the planet and climate change.
- 19:47But what happens, what you said earlier, is they double down instead of saying, okay,
- 19:53this is collapsing here, you say they double down rather than repent or admit that the
- 19:57policies are failing or what they're talking about is not true.
- 20:01So go ahead and share your thoughts about that.
- 20:02Well, this one is fun, like the pilot who shot down Yamamoto's aircraft during World
- 20:08War II, I said, I'm going to follow this one down to the ground to make sure it burns
- 20:12in flames because we've heard nothing, nothing but garbage for the last 35 years.
- 20:17Oh, my goodness.
- 20:18I know.
- 20:19I want to take everything.
- 20:20I don't care whether you think there is warming or there isn't warming that it's man-made
- 20:25that's zero to plays role in it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 20:28There's always a gorilla in the room that nobody ever wants to talk about.
- 20:33And the gorilla is, okay, big shot, like Senator Secretary Kerry are theoretically
- 20:41envoy to climate change who just left that post.
- 20:44What are you going to do about it?
- 20:45Well, we're going to hit net zero by 2030 or 2050 and you're going to do this how because
- 20:53you need to understand the entire world's economy by economy.
- 20:57I mean, food, clothing, shelter, healthcare for the world's population is driven by oil
- 21:05and natural gas and only secondarily by nuclear or hydro, hydro is a very sustainable source
- 21:13of energy.
- 21:14And then by a minor sense, wind and solar, what will you replace it with?
- 21:22Yeah, crickets.
- 21:23We're going to drive electric, we're going to drive electric cars.
- 21:26Oh, really?
- 21:27Well, now, okay, if you're going to have millions of electric cars with all these lithium
- 21:31exploding batteries in them, you're going to have to use millions of watts every night,
- 21:36you know, ampere draw to charge those batteries.
- 21:39Where will that power come from since you're, you want to bring down the dams, you want
- 21:44to shut down the nuclear power plants and Europe is discovering this now that there is
- 21:49nothing we can do in the short term with the technology.
- 21:53This is just nothing there.
- 21:55And when, say, for example, President Biden finally deep six, the keystone pipeline after
- 22:0010 years of these companies jumping through hoops and complying with everything, companies
- 22:06can't afford this, say, you know, the green crazy, the ones who are crazy in the environmental
- 22:11movement are going, well, yeah, but there were riots in Pakistan because Christian families
- 22:18and Muslim families were being shoved below subsistence levels by the outrageous cost of gasoline,
- 22:25which was driving it crazy is nothing we can do.
- 22:29That's the collapsing narrative until we get new and alternative energies that work and
- 22:35are economically sustainable.
- 22:38And up until now, it's just all Baldur dash.
- 22:40It's all, you know, and Secretary Kerry, you know, in an interview upon leaving his
- 22:47opposed, it's just ringing his hands.
- 22:50And by the way, he's been on the wrong side of every issue since the Vietnam war days.
- 22:56And he's ringing his hands, boy, we're just not cutting back carbon.
- 22:59You can't do it.
- 23:00We have a fragile world economy, Dave.
- 23:03There's the next collapsing narrative that we can borrow ourselves into oblivion with
- 23:07no inflation that we can we can do all sorts of unhealthy things, the name of social spending.
- 23:13We are endangering our national security.
- 23:16Europe is especially endangering its national security.
- 23:20The prices of energy are going through the roof in Europe.
- 23:24They have made themselves dependent on Russia on one source, very bad idea.
- 23:28That's natural gas for generating for heat, et cetera.
- 23:33These are, this is reality politics.
- 23:35This is the real world compared to the ones where we pretend those gorillas in the room
- 23:40don't exist, you know?
- 23:42And they're collapsing, but we remember we're going to pay a heavy penalty.
- 23:46The more they keep the narrative going and narrative is keep going because people base
- 23:52their careers on these narratives, the worst the tension becomes, the more damage that's
- 23:57done and the bigger the crash or the explosion when it finally implodes.
- 24:02Yeah, I just to see you and I might see some narratives collapsing and then we see so
- 24:07many people that just aren't willing to look at the truth or look at reality or do any
- 24:12research.
- 24:13They just still believe the talking points.
- 24:15We can stand on, you know, climate change.
- 24:18We do a whole hour on climate change, but I want you to touch and we've got three minutes
- 24:21left, John.
- 24:22Sorry about that.
- 24:23But you're pro talk about immigration, talk about the southern border.
- 24:26What's the collapsing narrative there?
- 24:27Well, the collapsing narrative is that once again, you have national security issues, Europe's
- 24:32discovering it.
- 24:34And that's because of the fact that right now the teachers association for headmasters
- 24:38in France is now protesting because the Muslim population there are threatening to kill
- 24:43headmasters that have to discipline their kids.
- 24:47They're discovering that you cannot take two populations with different world views and
- 24:52smash them together in large numbers and hope that you will will not have problems.
- 24:58Part of it's not quite as bad where we have been because the people coming up from Latin
- 25:03America about 80% share a Christian world view coming out of European civilization.
- 25:11Islamic situation, civilization and western sieve are not compatible in their current forms.
- 25:17There's a small group of moderate Muslims who want to see Islam reform, but that's the
- 25:21lesson we've learned.
- 25:23We're endangering national security.
- 25:25We have 20% of the people coming across are from other countries, military age men.
- 25:31We don't know what they're doing, large numbers of Chinese, large numbers of Middle
- 25:34Easterners.
- 25:35Are they setting up sleeper cells in the US?
- 25:37We don't know.
- 25:38Okay.
- 25:39Do you think that's going to be a huge issue when it comes to the election in November?
- 25:44Yeah, I think that'll be a huge issue.
- 25:46The same thing in Europe, you're noticing that the populace is more and more not believing
- 25:52what the government is saying.
- 25:54And that's happening in Europe, the rise of the AFD party.
- 25:57They call it far right and blah, blah, blah and neo-Nazi, etc.
- 26:02But despite everything that the media have said about AFD, the polls are still polling
- 26:06about 40% among the German populace and the same thing is here.
- 26:10I'm not listening anymore.
- 26:12I don't care what the people on the view say, they're idiots, you know, who cares what CNN
- 26:18says.
- 26:19I don't go there for news.
- 26:20Who cares what Rachel made out says, I don't care, you know, it's nothing important.
- 26:24It's not the real world.
- 26:25Exactly.
- 26:26John, wish we had more time to catch up.
- 26:29But it's so good to reconnect with you after a while and good to see you getting back
- 26:33into it.
