  Speaker 2: Like I said, we've got a lot to get to.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Michael Harrison in this hour.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Looking forward to that.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: He's the creator of a magazine called Talkers, which is
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a talk radio magazine, but a great guy with great
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: insight on a lot of different things. So I appreciate
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you all being with us and staying with us and
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: sticking around. Once again, you can email me as the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: show goes, LeeLCRadio. That's L-E-E-L-C-I radio at gmail.com. And I
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: always love to hear from folks from all over the country.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: So heavy news day. I wanted to start in one spot.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: And if I have time, I'll finish in some of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the areas that I wanted to finish in. But three
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: more tankers now attacked in the Straits of Hormuz. So
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: these tankers, not isolated incidents.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: It's a direct challenge.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: To the post-Komeini order, fragile ceasefire is certainly up for grabs.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Trump was in Turkey talking about NATO and going round
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and round there. It is a heavy news day. I mean,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: for the world, this could mean higher energy prices. It
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: could mean more of a choke point in the Straits.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It's got geopolitical, obviously, ramifications for the economy. We would— I
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: felt like— We were just beginning to get rolling.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Put this thing to bed.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Stock market was at an all-time high yesterday.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: But again, these folks who only know one thing, right?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Only know chaos. Only want to wreak havoc. They don't
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: want a deal. They want death to America. Death to Israel.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: And they're going to continue to poke the bear over
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: and over and over again.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I think that You know, this, not that it's going
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to be a colossal mistake, but somehow, someway, a negotiation
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: with these folks never works out. They're not trustworthy. You
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: can never make them allies. They don't want to be that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, President Trump's administration, I mean, has the tools
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to mandate, to respond, to clarify, to resolve this situation.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And we may have to do that. We have to
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: protect the commerce. We have to support our allies. And
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: if that means raining hell down on them again, if
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: we find out this was actually a military operation that
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: struck these three.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Ships, then we do it again. We unleash holy hell again. Because,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: you know, it's time for us to really protect U.S.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Interests rather than this Endless Middle East entanglement that we
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: always seem to get ourselves into. America first means securing
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: our energy future. That's what it should have always meant. Now,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I know the progressives don't like that because it sounds
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: like it's a conquering scenario, right?
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Oh, we're out there conquering the world for their resources.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Okay. I'm okay with that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: If the plan was to control Venezuelan oil and the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: plan was to have more of a stranglehold on the
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Iranian oil so our enemies, China and Russia, have to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: really scrape and search to actually get fuel or have
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to come through us to get it, I'm okay with that.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: I'm okay with it. Now, I don't want to put
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: boots on the ground. Nobody does, right?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants to see sons and daughters go over and
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: die in the desert.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: I get that. But this has been opened now. This
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: can of crap has been opened.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: And we have to close it. We cannot show weakness.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: We have to defend our interests. We have to lead
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: through strength. And again, I wouldn't put the decision for
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: boots on the backs of anybody because I know if
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: that's the case.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: You know, many people are going to die.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: But there are strategic, you know, strengthening strong points and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: choke points that we can get ourselves into in the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: straits where maybe we can have, you know, a better
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: outcome on some of this stuff. But it's just, it's
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: frustrating because it seems like it's going in the right direction, seemingly.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: And then with the flip of a switch or literally
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: a push of a.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Button, you know, you've got three oil tankers attacked and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: And now you've got heightened risk. You've got boats that
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: no longer want to go into the straits. You've got,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: you know, as of right now, a slowed down world
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: economic scenario. And it's sort of like a wait and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: see attitude. Again, I don't trust these folks.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Never have.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: We never should have. We decapitated the first leadership. We
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: decapitated the second. And the third is worse than the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: first two. And I'm sure if we.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Decapitate the third, the fourth will probably be worse. But
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: you know what? We might as well just keep going
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: in there and killing them all. I hate to say it.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: But this particular conflict has been, this wound has been opened.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: And it'll fester. It'll rot from the inside out.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: So I don't know. I don't know what the overall
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: plan is from the Trump administration.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: But we can't just go a couple of days like
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: everything is hunky-dory, and then wham, you've got a couple
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: of ships attacked, and wham, there's now a much slower
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: movement through the straits, and wham, bam, this, that, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the other, and we've got absolute chaos in that region.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what tomorrow brings. We're still getting the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: reports on these tankers being hit, but in the end,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: it's going to cause a whole bunch of angst and
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of uneasiness, And you can bet that
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: your oil prices, which were coming down, I mean, there
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: were people talking about maybe we're going to get into
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the 50-something dollar range by the end of the summer,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: which I never thought was going to be the case.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: But now you got to expect, unless.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: This is a one-off and the Iranian government says it
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: wasn't us or whatever excuse is thrown out there, you got.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: To figure the oil prices will go back up after this.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: So we'll pay attention to that and watch that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Obviously, the Democrats are eating their own. We like to
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: see that. Spencer Pratt lights up social media. Apparently, he
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: attacked a woman that's out there. She claims that he
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: assaulted her, et cetera. Now, a lot of the pro-Pratt
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Democrats are running for cover and now asking him to
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: get out. It was only the polls. The polls changed.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: And now, all of a sudden, the Democrats say, well,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I guess you got to go, right? The top Democrats
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: are now trying to push Planter out, where a couple
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: of weeks ago, you know, he was the second coming
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: of the greatest thing ever because he was winning in
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: the polls.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: Now he's losing in the polls. Now all of a
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: sudden they give the flip-flop deal.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: So they have now pushed hard for him to be
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: pushed out, if that makes any sense. So there's a
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: couple of early stories for you as we start. I
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: did want to start with this. I wanted to start
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: with this before the stories started because, I talked about
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: this morning on my radio show, and it kind of
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: goes hand in hand with what's going on in the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Middle East and what's going on with Muslims and what's
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: going on with the Iranians and what's going on with
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the out-and-out assault on Christianity. So bear with me because
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I want to kind of redo this. If you've listened
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: to me this morning, you're going to kind of hear
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: me talk about the same thing. But America is not
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: a theocracy. We don't have a national church, and the
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: First Amendment rightly guards against government's.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Establishment of religion. We don't want that.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: But on the other side of this, and I'm bringing
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: this up, like I said, because there seemingly has been
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: this attack on religion from our.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Supposed friends on the left. But to pretend America was not.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Built upon a strong Christian foundation, you're essentially denying... our
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: own history. Our evidence, the evidence, is carved in stone.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: It's written in our founding documents. A Bible rests inside
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the Washington Monument. The Ten Commandments are engraved in the
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: walls of the Supreme Court.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: We still swear.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: in our presidents, our congressmen, and witnesses on the Holy Bible.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: Again, unless you're certain folks. I think Mondami probably did
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: it on a Koran, but I could be mistaken by that.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: And again, at the very top of the Washington Monument
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: are Latin words, which mean praise be to God, declare
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the gratitude of our nation's builders.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Congress opens every session with a prayer. That's not coincidence.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: It's not.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: It's a deliberate acknowledgement of the faith that has shaped
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: the American character. From our Mayflower Compact, where the pilgrims
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: declared their mission to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: to the Declaration of Independence itself, which boldly proclaims that
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: our rights come from our Creator, not from our government.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: That is a crucial line, which boldly again proclaims that
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: our rights come from our Creator. No government can give
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you those rights. Christianity has been the moral and philosophical
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: foundation of this republic since its onset. And Christians, listen,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: we led the fight against slavery. Christians championed women's suffrage.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Christians drove the civil rights movement in the 1960s. And
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: for generations, the Lord's Prayer and Ten Commandments adorned our schoolhouses,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: taught our children virtue, responsibility, and the fear of God.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Our founding fathers understood a fundamental truth. Our rights are
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: given by God. If our rights are given by God,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: the moral who acknowledge that divine source, they're the only
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: ones that can preserve them.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Sorry about that. I had to interrupt my own self.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Because we had a chaotic machine going crazy here in
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the studio, so I had to turn it off. But
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: our founding fathers understood the fundamental truth. Our rights, they're
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: given by God himself. And how can the Constitution possibly
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: secure God-given rights if we erase God from the public square?
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Now listen, I'm not giving a sermon here. My point
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: is that.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I talk a lot I talk a lot to folks
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the aisle who want to
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: kill that idea that our founding fathers created this country
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: built on those ideals. Now, I'm not trying to force
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: a religion down anybody's throat.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Nobody should do that. If you don't want to worship,
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: you don't have to. If you don't want to believe
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: in church, that's fine.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: If you don't think there should be one religion in
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: this country, I agree with you on that. But there's
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: a difference between trying to force your hand in that
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: area and And on the flip side, trying to deny
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the fact that our founding fathers, the men and women
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: who built this country, they built it on the ideals
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: that were inspired through them from God.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: And it's, again, not about forcing faith on you. It's
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: about honesty.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: America's liberty, rule of law, respect for the individual were
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: born from that Christian worldview that every soul bears the
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: image of God, that power must be limited, and that
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: justice must reflect some divine moral order.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: This is not a religious sermon. That's not what I'm doing.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: This is actually a sermon about this country and how
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: it was founded and why this country has survived. I
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: told you time and time again, I've said this behind
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: this microphone for 20 years.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: And I'm not somebody who regularly goes to church. So
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: shame on me.
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: We've had philosophical discussions about God himself and.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: What happens after you die and all of that creation.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: But there's no way you.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Can tell me that somehow, some way there wasn't divine
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: intervention in the building of this nation. I mean, those
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: men that came together at the same time with the
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: same ideas, the same beliefs, pledging their lives, their fortune,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and their sacred honor together.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Was a miracle. It was nothing short of a miracle.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: That has survived 250 years. The founder's design was secular
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: in spirit. It was deliberately rooted in a Judeo-Christian principled outlook.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: That's what it was.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: And we face now today people who want to rewrite
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: that story, to scrub every reference to God from our
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: heritage and replace it with a government authority, the ultimate
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: government authority.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: Fact, right? I mean, to a progressive, the government is
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: the higher entity, right?
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: It was global warming for a while.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Now it's just the idea of this woke social mentality
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: that is their new religion. And we must reject all
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: of that dangerous revisionism.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: You've got to teach your kids the story, the true
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: story of.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: This exceptional nation, how it started, how it evolved, how
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: it weaved itself.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Through all of it, and embrace that.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: It's a moral framework that is made this amazing experiment
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: of self-governance possible. I'm wowed by this country. I'm wowed
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: by what it has evolved into. Does it have a
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: million problems? Yeah, it has a million problems, tons of problems.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: And we have a lot of work to do, no
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: question about that. We have issues with the extreme rich
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and the extreme poor.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: We've got.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Heavy division politically within the ranks. There's a lot of
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: things that we can work on. But when you look
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: at other nations, when you look at other failed states,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: this has been, again, nothing short of a miracle. We
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: are that republic, that shining city on a hill.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: Don't ever forget that. And don't ever forget.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: That these God-given rights enshrined in our founding documents let
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: you Pursue that happiness, that dream.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Can't do that in another nation. We're the luckiest people ever.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Think about it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: We are.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: You might not think that, but.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: You were born an American citizen, or you came here
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: and became an American citizen, if you're listening to me.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: And you're the luckiest people on the planet. You could
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: have been born the same time, but you could have
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: been born in China. You could have been born in
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: North Korea. You could have been born in some... remote
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: place in Africa without running water or electricity or.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Any of it. No, you were born here.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: And you should be inspired by what our founding fathers
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: brought to the table, this idea of life, liberty, and
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: the pursuit of happiness, justice for all.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: That's why we, you know, fly the red, white, and blue.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: That's why our birthday, number 250, we should all be
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: incredibly proud. America was built on Christian foundations.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: That's not an opinion. I'm not making it up. It's history.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: And I think it's time.

  Speaker 2: That we rightfully reclaim that history because it's an important
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: part of what makes us what we are.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: All right. I got to take a short break and
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: resettle myself here in the.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Studio because it's got a little chaotic and I apologize for.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: That.
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: I guess we got hit by either lightning or something
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: here in Connecticut because this was like over the weekend.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Because we lost all power and it lost the.
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: Air conditioning in the studio so I forgot that I
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: had this loud monstrous wall unit playing in the background
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: so my apologies hopefully we can turn that around as
• 18:31

  Speaker 2: He's all over the place. He's 1,000 miles an hour.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I had to take a nap today.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: I took a nap.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: I'm a grown man.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Nap.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: I didn't really get a good nap, though. It was
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: only 20 minutes. But I needed it.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: But this guy, I mean, he's doing 15 shows. He
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: is running around like a lunatic, and now he's defending ice,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: which I think would be a lot of fun. I
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: kind of would like to. I wish I could have
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: gone to that. It seems like that would be a
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: lot of fun to check that out.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: So one of our favorite people in the entire world
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: to talk to, and hopefully, We can keep them a
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: little bit. And that's Michael Harrison from Talkers. And, you know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Michael has.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Been doing this amazing.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I think it's a gift to media personalities, in particular,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: talk media personalities.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: I think since the well, the 80s, Mike, is it
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: the 80s? You've had this magazine that long, right?
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: I almost the 80s. We launched it in July of 1990.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: So it's going on 36 years old.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Amazing. It is amazing. And it is the Bible, if
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: you will, for talk radio. And I thank you for
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: coming on. I know you're super busy and you've probably
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: got a million people tugging at you all the time.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: But I wanted to talk to you about a few things.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: We'll start with the media and then we'll, if you
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: don't mind, morph into the world of politics. But you
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: coined the term media station back in the 90s. How
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: accurately did the vision predict where.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: Radio is today?
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Because radio is a part now of of this giant
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: mechanism of the media, right?
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: You can't do a.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Radio show really anymore without having a video component, right?
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and also you have to be able to write.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: You have to put out some type of a text component.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: You have to be able to post pictures, you know, graphics.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: There's no isolated media the way there was back in
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: the 20th century when a newspaper was a newsprint and
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: that was it. And the local television station did the news.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: And they presented news programs on a video screen, which
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: was your TV set. And radios came out of a
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: radio device and appliance or a radio set. We used
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: to use the word set a lot. And if you
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: went to the movies, you would get to see something
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: that you couldn't really see on TV that easily unless
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: it was around for a couple of years. And then
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: it would be the ABC movie of the week. And
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: it was some old movie that you saw years ago.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: But now it's on television. It was all separate. And
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: here— As we begin, I believe, the second quarter of
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: the 21st century. Do you believe how far in the
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: future we are? My goodness. Everything blends into everything else.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: So I consider any outlet, if you're primarily a news organization,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: if you're primarily a film company or primarily a television
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: station or primarily a radio station or a radio show
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: or a podcast or whatever you are, you are a
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: media station because you're only limiting yourself to that one dimension,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: which is a throwback to the 20th century. By calling yourself,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: we're a radio station or we're a news organization or newspaper,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: the newspaper could be doing the evening news on video.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: The radio station could be putting out a news service.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: There's no natural boundary anymore between these platforms. And that's
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: what I meant by the emergence of the media station.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: It's kind of a mentality at this point of just
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: which direction and what venues you want to pursue as
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: a media person or a media company.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: If you were a media company and you were buying
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: or creating a media outlet, let's say you had radio aspirations,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, you would have to build almost a set now,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: even if you had even like an ABC in New
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: York or even some of the smaller stations across the country,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: if you were just starting out, if I were doing it,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I would build a set almost so that my talk
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: show hosts could, with a flip of a switch, could
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: go on all of these platforms and make it a
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: lot easier because I tell you, it could get a
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: little complicated trying to upload all this stuff and you're
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: working on a million different media platforms, whether it's X
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: or Instagram or Getter or whatever, and I don't know.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I'm of the old, I guess, cloth, Michael, is that
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: it's not that it's too much, but I enjoyed the
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: appointment listening. I liked it when the radio station was
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the only outlet for it. I know those days are
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: long gone, but maybe I'm a dinosaur, but I don't know.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: What do you think? Is that part of this equation now?
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: You have to be all-encompassing, right?
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think you have to be anything. I think
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: you could be what you want to be as long
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: as you're really good at it. And in ratio to
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: how good you are at it will be determining how
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: successful you are at it. So if you're just mediocre
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: and not that great, well, yeah, be everywhere so more
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: people might you know, who happen to like what you do,
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: we'll check you out. But if you're really, really good,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: people will seek that special or here's a word, the specificity.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: I wasn't sure I'd be able to say it. The
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: specificity of your platform. What do you mean, Lee? What
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: do you mean when you say build a set? What
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: do you have in mind when you're talking about those
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: terms to build a set?
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you asking me that. So our engineer was
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: in here the other day. And the owner was in
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: here the other day. And the setup here I have
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: in the studio, we've got all the modern stuff, but
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: it's really not.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: Conducive to the video angle of it, right?
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: So we were talking about how to build out the best.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: let's say.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Format for a camera to be in front, a camera
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: for my guests, the microphone in the right spot, the
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: backdrop to be in the right spot, all of that.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: And I think, you know, it doesn't take a tremendous
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: amount of money necessarily to do it, but I think
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: you have to think it out and plan it out where,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: you know, the old days it was radio studio.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: It was, you know, you were behind a microphone behind
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: a console and that was it. But, I think it's
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: just got to be a little different.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: If I were starting a media outlet and a radio station,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: that's how I would do it because you've got to
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: hit all the avenues. I know you say if you've
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: got talent, you don't necessarily have to, and I think
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: you're right. But, I mean, people, in particular younger people,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: are searching it out on all of these different Internet platforms.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: That's true. And I'm thinking, as you're saying that, that
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: we're at a time now where– You don't have to
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: build a set. You don't have to like I'm in
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: a real studio here. I have a picture over there.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Left and right gets crazy when you see screens of Rembrandt,
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: one of my favorite artists. We have the Talkers logo.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: We have some keyboards we have over on under Rembrandt.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: You may see a couple of headphones and stuff. I
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: don't know how much is on your screen, but to
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: behind me in that direction. is a classic poster from
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: the Fillmore East back in the days of album rock.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: And we change things around a lot. But those are
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: real things. I'm in a real physical place. But if
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: you're really up to speed with the technology today, you
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: don't have to have that. I could just have a
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: blue screen behind me. And with AI and with computer-generated graphics,
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: I could be on water skis. I could be being
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: chased by dinosaurs. Any possible thing you could imagine. I
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: think that we went through the paradigm shift, Lee, back
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: during COVID-19. when suddenly everybody was broadcasting from their homes.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: This was even happening in places like CNN and Fox.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: They would never let anybody go on a cell phone,
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: an iPhone, from their home. They'd send a limousine to
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: you and drive through a blizzard for six minutes on
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: screen in those days. But then when COVID came, people
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: started broadcasting from home. So what did most of them do?
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Because I was tracking all of this. I saw this
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: as a major paradigm shift. Most of them would find
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: their bookshelf— And you still see it today. And people
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: will sit in front of their bookcase. It makes you
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: look like your studio, like like like a law office
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: where they have the legal library. None of them use
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: it anymore. It's there for show. Am I right?
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: No, you're right. You're 100 percent right.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: You would think like 80 percent of the backdrops that
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: you see are books that people never read.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: So that's probably the case.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: One of the hobbies now is people checking out. Let's
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: see what books he's reading. Yeah.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: No, I guess.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: My statement was born from the fact that the studio
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: that I'm in right now is an old-fashioned radio studio
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: that we try to retrofit to add the video component.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: And there's just not enough space for certain things. So
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: I would think that if I were starting from scratch,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I would make it so that it is an easy-to-use
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: kind of a situation.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: So that American flag is real flag flying outside your window?
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: It's a beautiful day behind me, Michael.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: What do you mean you're in a regular radio studio?
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: It's beautiful. Where did that flag come from?
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: Michael Harrison, talkers.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Whenever I get a chance to track him down and talk,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I love it because I am, you know, I'm an
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: old school radio junkie. I just got into my veins
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: when I was in my mid-20s. And here I am
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: all these years later still wanting to talk about it,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: still loving to talk about it with somebody. as influential
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: and entertaining and smart as Michael Harrison. I'll ask you
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: one more, media, can you stick around for a second break?
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can stick around, but I do want to, well,
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: go ahead, ask me the question.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: No, go ahead. What would you have?
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, when you talk about being an old
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: school radio guy, you're touching upon the very issue that
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: radio is facing, the challenge it faces here at this point,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: I call it in the future, because we're sort of
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: like immigrants from the 20th century. We all are. Most
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: of the people listening to this broadcast or viewing this
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: broadcast are people who came on this planet before the
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: year 2000. Statistically, that's true, or shortly thereafter. And radio
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: faces the challenge of maintaining its aesthetic, maintaining its magic,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: its specialness, which is born of being on a radio station,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: a transmitter, live radio, local, and spontaneous. All of that
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: is what makes radio great. The challenge is to maintain
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: that aesthetic— we' ll call it an aesthetic— here in the 21st century,
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: when we have podcasting and we have online broadcasting and
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: we have screens as well as the theater of the mind.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: And to do it effectively, so as not to fall behind,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: but in the same process, not to lose that magic
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: and not become just another utilitarian source of records or
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: source of, you know, one talk show after another that
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: have no connection to each other and are not in
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: real time. So, that's the real issue that we face
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: in this industry at this time. That is the challenge.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: to maintain the magic of the 20th century, but the
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: purpose and the technology of the 21st century in radio particularly.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: I agree. But there was a.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Romanticness about radio that unfortunately, when video came in, it
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: killed a certain aspect of that romanticism because you didn't
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: know what the guy looked like who was talking to you.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: You didn't know what the female DJ on the rock
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: station looked like. You might get a glimpse of her
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: at a remote if you decided to go to that
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: event or what have you.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: But for the most part, it was all theater of
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: the mind.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: And I think that's what made radios super special, super intimate,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: and very personable. I'm not saying that it's better or
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: worse than it is now. I just think it's different.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: That mystery was a big deal. I know when I
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: was a kid and the local DJ would come to
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: the sock hop at the gymnasium, Most of the kids
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: were very disappointed when they saw that the guy was
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: a nerd as opposed to the cool cat they heard
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: on the air. Hey, baby, welcome to the cool cat show.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: And the cool cat shows up and he's some goofball.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: Usually in need of a shower too, right?
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: You know the joke, you have a face for radio.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: It comes from that. Yeah, they're the mystery. But now
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: it's not a mystery. Everybody knows what everybody looks like.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Everybody has a show. The audience has an audience. That's
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: a part of the thing that for people who have
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: been through the years of being in broadcasting, this era
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: is remarkable in as much as the audience has an audience.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: And the whole interchangeable way in which it goes, the
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: two-way street that media has become, plays a role in
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: how it is ultimately perceived.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: And one other thing, I mean, I know there was
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: a time in radio where the size of the stick
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: and That's a radio lingo. I'm not making any pornographic scenario.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: They're radio stick size. That meant everything, right? I mean,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: you're a 50,000-watt flamethrower.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: That's the whole thing.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: But now, literally, with the internet, you can carry a
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: station from– if I'm living in Connecticut, from Seattle, if
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: you like it, you can listen to it.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: There are no small sticks in this world. I mean,
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: you can go on the smallest website of the smallest
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: podcast and ruin your life in one slip of the tongue.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: You know, nothing is hidden from potentially being distributed everywhere
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: in the world. That's a whole different paradigm as well.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Think about it. Because it used to be for the
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: folks at home, for the folks at home who don't
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: know what stick is, stick is a term from the
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: 20th century in broadcasting. to indicate the standard radio station,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: the tower, the transmitter, the studio, and the license. And
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: the tower gave rise to the word stick. So somebody
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: is telling somebody else in the business, I got a
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: job on a really big stick.
• 39:04
  Speaker 11: Oh, wow.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: What stick are you on? I'm on W.A.B.C. And we
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: still sometimes call it a stick. It's it's a dying phrase,
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: but it's still it's a good phrase. I love the phrase.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: So in fact, I wrote an article once called The
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Stick and the Stick and the relationship between form and content,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: the radio station. as well as the programming. The programming
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: is the shtick, the technology and the might of the
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: radio station, the stick. So you're talking my language, kid.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Michael Harrison is with us, talkers. So, Michael, we got
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: to take a quick break here in a second. But
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: I know you do a regular podcast and, you know,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Wayne's listeners across America. The country, I'm sure, would love
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: to get a chance to hear that. I don't know
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: if that's open to everyone or if that's more an
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: industry thing, but is there a place folks can go
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: to find that on a regular basis?
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: People can go to YouTube, and the show is called
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Up Close, Far Out with Michael Harrison. And when you
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: get to YouTube, it's at Talkers Media, at Talkers Media.
• 40:07
  Speaker 9: And.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: The program, it's basically industry-oriented. And my show is on there,
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: and we have you on there, as a matter of fact.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Your recent little address that you gave at the Talkers
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Conference is posted. The entire— we have just about 95 percent
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: of the recent Talkers 2026 conference up there on video.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: So people can attend that. And talkers.com is our address.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: There's no cost. It's basically for people in the industry.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: But as I said before, everybody's in show business nowadays.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: So listeners do enjoy coming to our website, talkers.com.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I got to admit, I was a little intimidated that day.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: All the heavies in the talker industry was in that room.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: And I was, uh-oh.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: You sell yourself short, my friend. You're a heavy, too.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, I appreciate that. Let me take a quick break.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: We've got Michael Harrison from Talkers. I'm going to hold
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: him over and keep him for another break because I
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: always enjoy talking to him. And he doesn't know just
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: radio or media or any just that. He knows a
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: lot about a lot. So we're going to get to
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: some of the things happening in the political world. and
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: talk a little bit about what's happening here in the
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: United States, the 250 birthday, all of that, what's going
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: on around the world with our good pal Michael Harrison.
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: Don't go anywhere.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Keep listening.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: You can watch what's going on at the Gateway Pundit.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: You can go to Wayne's Rumble, Wayne's X, get a routeforamerica.com.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: All the radio stations have us playing from one coast
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: to another.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: Don't go anywhere. Come right back. You are watching and
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: listening to The War Zone.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: The War Zone.
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: All right, way down the road, Dan Montano is with me.
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: He's the CEO of Zichogenesis Medicine, a biotech company developing
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: medicines to treat Parkinson's, type 2 diabetes, and even heart disease.
• 41:54
  Speaker 7: And now Zicha has a new breakthrough, exciting to potentially
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: reverse chronic pain. Dan, tell us about your breakthrough that
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: could lessen or eliminate the pain for people suffering from neuropathy,
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: back pain, or migraine headaches.
• 42:09
  Speaker 11: Very simple. As we've been dosing people for those other indications,
• 42:12
  Speaker 11: they keep reporting to us the pain in their feet
• 42:14
  Speaker 11: is gone. The pain in their back is gone. Their
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: migraines have stopped. So as we started digging into it
• 42:20
  Speaker 11: more over the last couple of months, we've discovered that
• 42:23
  Speaker 11: nerve regeneration is something our molecule can treat. And we're
• 42:27
  Speaker 11: starting to see people that we dose on Monday and Thursday,
• 42:30
  Speaker 11: their back pain's gone. Their migraines have stopped. So we're
• 42:33
  Speaker 11: now taking that to a medical research study here in
• 42:35
  Speaker 11: Las Vegas.
• 42:37
  Speaker 7: A big one for me would be neuropathy foot pain,
• 42:40
  Speaker 7: because I have several friends who have lived wonderful lives, successful,
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: they're CEOs, and they could barely walk anymore because of neuropathy.
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: What have you done for that?
• 42:49
  Speaker 11: Well, the people we've dosed for their diabetes have reported
• 42:53
  Speaker 11: after a week or two that they don't have the
• 42:54
  Speaker 11: pain anymore. So we're going to run with that and
• 42:57
  Speaker 11: find out how much of that is true and how
• 42:59
  Speaker 11: much of that we can repeat.
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: Amazing.
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: What are your next steps?
• 43:04
  Speaker 11: Well, we're going to be getting a clearance here in
• 43:05
  Speaker 11: Las Vegas to do a medical research study. We'll be
• 43:08
  Speaker 11: doing it primarily for back pain, neuropathy, and headaches, migraine
• 43:12
  Speaker 11: headaches primarily. We'll have that approval probably in 30 to
• 43:15
  Speaker 11: 60 days. And start dosing people here in Vegas. And
• 43:20
  Speaker 11: you're looking for test patients and investors, correct? Same as
• 43:24
  Speaker 11: with the type 2 diabetes. As you know, Wayne, you
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: guys generate a lot of subjects for us to test.
• 43:31
  Speaker 11: and you also would produce a lot of investors for it.
• 43:33
  Speaker 11: So we're looking for the same. Chronic back pain is everywhere.
• 43:37
  Speaker 11: People have got it, it's serious, and we've been able
• 43:39
  Speaker 11: to alleviate it. I'm excited. This could be the biggest
• 43:41
  Speaker 11: thing around.
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: Dan, why is your approach to treating pain different?
• 43:47
  Speaker 11: Well, first of all, we don't treat, we don't treat,
• 43:50
  Speaker 11: we don't camouflage the pain. We treat the nerve that
• 43:53
  Speaker 11: is sick. We heal the nerves. With this white paper,
• 43:56
  Speaker 11: which is on the website, cure war.com is phenomenal everybody
• 44:02
  Speaker 11: should be downloading that and reading this like a science
• 44:04
  Speaker 11: fiction novel on how your nerves regenerate that's how we
• 44:08
  Speaker 11: do it on.
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: The nerves dan montano is the ceo of zcha genesis
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: medicine the website cure-war.com looking for test subjects and investors cure-war.com.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: I want to know why Wayne hasn't invited me to
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: the sphere out in Vegas.
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, I do all these shows. I fill in.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Never do I get an invite to the sphere. I
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: want to go see the Eagles at the sphere or
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: something like that, right? I used to live in Vegas,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: for goodness sake. But I've never been to the sphere. Anyway,
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: this segment of the show is sponsored by Energize Health.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: You heard Wayne Allen Root talk about how Energize Health
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: has changed his life. He lost 25 pounds of fat,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: including the dangerous inner body visceral fat. Gained 10 pounds
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: of muscle and intercellular hydration.
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: 88 days. That's all it took.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Now, five years later, he feels the best he ever
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: has in his entire life. And I told you, I
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: called him the other day because I saw a video.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: He was on, what, two weeks ago? And I'm like,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: he does look good. He looks really good.
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: It's incredible.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: So he's looking like a champion, and he owes it
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: all to Energize Health. Energize Health, it's not a traditional
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: weight loss program. It's a fat loss program, and it's simple.
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: It's easy.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: It's healthy, all based on that foundation of the life
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: game changers, extra and intercellular hydration. Now, with all these
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: folks using the Ozempic and the GLPs, Energize Health is
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: working alongside them to help minimize the side effects, and
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: there are side effects.
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: Do fat loss the healthy way, not weight loss. Fat loss.
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: Do it healthy. Be like Wayne.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Energize Health can change your life, supercharge your health. Do
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: it like Wayne did it. Right now, Energize Health is

• 46:19
  Speaker 5: 40% off. Just say WAR.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: EnergizedHealth.com. That's EnergizedHealth.com. The great Michael Harrison is with us.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Talkers Magazine. One of our favorite people to bring on.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Always great. entertaining and fun to go down, talk radio
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: and media alley to chat about things.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: But I want to ask you, Michael, about 250, America's.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Birthday just came and went. It was a great celebration. But,
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: you know, I've been talking about this a lot, and
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: I get your opinion on this. So one of my
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: favorite lines from the Declaration is, we pledge our lives,
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: our fortune, and our sacred honor.
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: To this experiment, right?
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, they didn't say it like that, but not
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: to this experiment, but that's what they pledged. They pledged
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: their lives, their fortune, their sacred honor. Many of them
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: died broke. Many of them, you know, died with nothing.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Many of them were killed by their enemies. And, but
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: the thing that they all had was they had a
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: sacred honor. And, you know, I feel like what, what's
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: wrong with this country right now is born out of
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: the idea that we have politicians who do not adhere
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: to the sacred honor part of that. They, They don't
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: put the country first. These men, they put the country first.
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: They did.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, they had their warts, but they.
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: Believed in this experiment.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: They believed that these ragtag bunch of revolutionaries was going
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: to beat the great, maybe, I don't know if they
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: believed it, but they wanted to believe that they were
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: going to beat the greatest military might on earth.
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: And they did. And I think it's remarkable. I just
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: wanted to get your thoughts on that.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I think you put it very well. You had
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: said they eventually died, but none of them died by
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: a rope hanging around their neck as a result of
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: losing the revolution and facing uncertain death at the hands
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: of King George. Can you imagine, in today's world, politicians
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: signing a document at which their life is at stake—
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: based upon a ragtag amateur army in a country that
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: was very divided on whether the war was even popular— the
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: Revolutionary War was very controversial here in the colonies— and signing
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: their names to it, that if, in fact, they didn't win,
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: they would certainly die. You talk about sacred honor, you
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: talk about courage, guts, commitment and nobility. I can't think
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: of anybody in this country today that would do that.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Certainly people in politics, you know, we have now men
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: and women in politics. When you said before, you know,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: these men, I'm saying, yeah, they were all men, actually.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: So that is a remarkable— and I use the word paradigm,
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: I think, twice. I try not to use the same
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: words too many times in one sitting. But that was
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: a very different paradigm in terms of ethics and principles.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: We tend to think that our interpretation of good and
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: evil are quite clear-cut and very, very connected to the
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: ethics of this period we live in. But there have
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: been other periods of time. And certainly, even within the
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: relatively short history of America, when you look back at
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: the whole course of the human condition, there have been
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: times in America when people would run off to join
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: the army because our nation is under attack. They didn't
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: talk about how it impacted the stock market or, well,
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: how much will an egg cost us? it was a
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: very different psychology of what it was to be free,
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: what it was to engage in liberty, and what it
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: was to be an American. So, I did a lot
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: of thinking, as I know you did, and many of
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: our colleagues have, this 250th anniversary of the signing of
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: the Declaration of Independence, as to what these things really mean. Now,
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: you touched upon it very well in setting up the question. So,
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: I just say, yeah, it's pretty amazing, isn't it, how
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: many options we have as human beings in terms of
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: building our own personal and collective principles.
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: I'm glad you brought up running off to war.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: So on Friday of last week, on the eve of
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: the 4th of July, Thursday midnight into Friday, I did
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: 17 hours and 76 continuous minutes of radio. I did
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: it for, we went on at midnight and we signed
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: off at 6.16 p.m. And I brought out a bunch
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: of guests, and some of the guests told stories about
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: either their grandparents or their dying. They had still people
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: in their family still alive, couldn't get to the studio,
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: but still alive that served in World War II. And
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: as you just so amazingly pointed out, these men, they
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: lied about how old they were so.
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: That they could sign up. I mean, think about that.
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: They lied.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. They lied so that they could get in.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: Some of them were 15, 16 years old. History is
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: full of stories like that, where the soldiers on the
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: battlefield were children. And even if they're 18 or 19, frankly,
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: they're still children. I agree. So, yeah, gosh, you know, Lee,
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: it's so important for people to have an understanding of history,
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: to really be able to engage in intelligent voting, to
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: be able to engage in running a complicated entity, a
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: democracy and a republic. That is the United States of
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: America here in 2026. I think ignorance and idiocy and
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: downright stupidity are far more dangerous than many of the
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: boogeymen that we talk about today, no matter whether you're
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: on the left or the right, about what's ruining our country.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: I think the biggest danger to our freedom and to
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: our progress and to our standing in the world and
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: to humanity standing in the universe is stupidity. ignorance and agency.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: That's what I think.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: But if we could tap in just to a fraction
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: of what the founders possessed, that idea of putting the
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: country first, self.
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: Last, and that mindset is what birthed this great experiment.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: And if we even could just get a little bit
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: of that, put those folks in some places where you
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: could out of just sheer leadership and show that that
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: that is a way that can change everything.
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: Because we talk about now, how do we change it?
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: How do we fix the ultra poor as compared to
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: the ultra rich? And how do we talk about the
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: partisanship and the divide and the anger and the hatred
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: towards this group and that group? I think it's all
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: born out of the fact that people are so self-interested
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: now and so self-centered in their own advancement.
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: That they forget in particular, when they get into politics,
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: they forget.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Why they are supposed to get into politics. They're supposed
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: to get into politics to be leaders, civic leaders, and
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: make the community.
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: A better place.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: It's a vicious cycle. The media and the politicians, and
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: this happens on both sides. Folks, I try to remain nonpartisan.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: I'm very partisan when it comes to supporting the First Amendment,
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: and that's as far as it goes. I'm all for
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: the free marketplace of ideas. But a lot of what
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: you're talking about, Lee, comes from the tendency these days
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: of politicians and media— the media is supposed to be the
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: protector of the people from the politicians and from the
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: government— the politicians and the media tend to play specifically to
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: the selfish concerns of the population. And that's why they
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: tear us apart. That's why people live in echo chambers.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: And that's why we have the kind of tension and
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: violence that we're experiencing today.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: Don't you think some of these big media outlets have
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: failed the public grotesquely?
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: I do.
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: I think you look at, like you said, they cater
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: to their listeners. I get it.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: There's a certain sense of you've got to make money,
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: otherwise you can't stay on the air. But when you're
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: not telling the entire truth and you are sort of
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: parsing it out in a way that makes your listeners
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: or your viewers happy, I think that's a huge disservice.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: That's not why the media folks signed up.
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: And, you know.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: I do my best never to do that, Michael, but
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: I know that there are people out there that do,
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: and I don't like it.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: If making money is the primary criteria for serving the public,
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: that you only serve the public, whether you're a government,
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: whether you're a business, whether you're an individual, based upon
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: how good a business it is, then that is a very,
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: very terrible rebuke of capitalism and free enterprise. It means
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: that they don't work. So I worry about that all
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: the time. Free enterprise and capitalism without social responsibility is
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: just as deadly as all these other forms of government
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: that we supposedly are so fearful of. We become the
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: very thing we're afraid of.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: I know. What would you tell your— let' s say you're advising
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: somebody who's, you know, in this business and struggling.
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: They have to cover politics. Maybe they're a talk show
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: host or what.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: And you have to try to advise them on how
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: not to alienate half their audience.
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: What would you tell them?
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: Well, if I were doing it the way it's being done,
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: it's being told you must alienate.
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: Half your audience.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: The whole game is based on alienating half your audience.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: There was once a time when people didn't, you know,
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: never talk politics, religion or sports. I didn't do it
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: in the right order. I think it was don't talk politics,
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: don't talk sports and don't talk religion. I don't know.
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: But you get the you get the point. I believe
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: that you've got to do business and you've got to
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: protect yourself. You've got to create income. You've got to
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: be able to face reality. But I think that, as
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: I said before, I would advise anybody that being good— that' s
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: a nice generalization. Being good is one of the tenets
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: of successful business. That if you try to a certain degree,
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: to be honest, and you try to a certain degree
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: to make your customer, your audience, your target participant better off,
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: that actually will make you money.
• 56:51
  Speaker 7: I agree.
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: I think people overlook that. I've tried to— I tried to
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: run my business and businesses with that principle. I can't
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: say whether I'm succeeding. I leave it to guys like
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: you to tell me. But the fact is, I think
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: that doing a good job for the people that consume
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: your product is a way to make money.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: I agree with that. I think people are desperately thirsty
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: for authenticity, right? Somebody who's genuine and, you know, comes
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: behind a microphone every day and tells you what they're
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: thinking and what they're feeling. And I think people gravitate
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: towards that. I think personally, I think those are the
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: most successful folks. And you had a lot of those
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: up on the stage today. you know, a month or
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: so ago who have created, you know, a very special
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: place in the world of talk media and media in
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: general now because they're authentic, right?
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: I think that's true.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: But I do think going back to the conversation we
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: had a few minutes ago about the founding fathers and
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: the principles of America and, you know, we hold these
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: truths to be self-evident and sacred honor. I do believe
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: that the American experiment— another word that you brought up— the American
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: experiment is based on the fact that we're not perfect.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: We do not claim to be perfect. What we claim
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: to do is to strive toward improvement. We claim to
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: strive toward, ultimately, like a North Star, perfection. And that— people
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: don't get that, and I think that that's something that
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: should be driven into everybody's head. No, we're not perfect.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: We're hardly perfect, but we want to be. The arc
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: of history hopefully leads, I think Martin Luther King said that,
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: to a good place.
• 58:31
  Speaker 5: Michael Harrison is his name.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: Talkers magazine is his baby. He's had it since, as
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: he said, early in the 90s, and he's reshaped the
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: industry in an incredible way.
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: Any general thoughts.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: On what we're, I know this is a very political question,
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: it's a basic, boring political question, but Any thoughts on
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: what we're going to witness in the midterms here? Are
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: we going to see a flip-floppy, or what do you
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: think is happening?
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: I think there's a good chance that we're going to
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: see a flip-flop. That's sort of historic anyway. And the
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: nature of the combatants, if you will, kind of if
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: you step back and don't buy into the bubble of
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: whatever side you're on, there's a good chance that there'll
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: be a flip-flop. But then again, you never know. I
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: think it's going to be very interesting, exciting, and it's
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: going to be very meaningful.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: I tell you, we've got three more ships were attacked today. And,
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: you know, Trump's—I hate to say it, but it feels
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: like we're in a weird quagmire. And And I don't know,
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: you know, we had at least a couple of days
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: where things looked great. And now all of a sudden
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: things don't look so great. And, you know, I don't
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: know what his next move is going to be.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: I hope he has an idea of what his next
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: move is going to be.
• 59:40
  Speaker 5: That would be nice, wouldn't it?
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: That would be very reassuring.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: Michael Harrison, talkers, I thank you for sticking around a
• 59:47
  Speaker 5: little extra. I appreciate it.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: I could talk to you about the business all day long.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: But one more time, if you don't mind, just tell
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: everybody where to find all the things that you do
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: because you do such great work.
• 59:56
  Speaker 5: Where do they go?
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: Check out Talkers.com. It's free. It's basically an industry trade publication.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: But I think the people consuming this broadcast are interested
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: in it enough to see what's going on behind the scenes.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: Talkers.com. I appreciate you, brother.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: I really do. I thank you very much, and we'll
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: talk again very, very soon. Michael Harrison from Talkers. So
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: here's the deal. I'll be back again tomorrow night for
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: Wayne Allen Root. One more day, then he's back in action,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: I guess. He must be out in Vegas.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know where he is right now.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: But the Gateway Pundit, you can watch there. Wayne's Rumble,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: Wayne's X Getter, and Root for America. I want to
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: thank the boys from Minnesota. Without them, you'd get nothing
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: but static.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: It would be like maybe that. That's all you'd get.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 5: That might be better sometimes than me. Static is slightly.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: I think if you ranked static, it's like two levels
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: on the top ten above me.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: I'm seven and static is five.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: Anyway, enjoy the rest of your day slash night wherever
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: you might be listening and watching us.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: I'll be back tomorrow for Wayne Allen Root. The show
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 5: is called The War Zone.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 6: See you.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: All right, I'm joined by Kip Herridge, my old buddy
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 7: and an economic expert CEO of Vertical Research Advisory's website, VRAinsider.com.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 7: As I've explained on this show so many times, VRA
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 7: has beaten the market in 19 of the last 22 years.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 7: since Kip founded the VRA in 2003. Over the last
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 7: three years, VRA had an average gain of 37%. Kip,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 7: congratulations on your success. I've seen it firsthand for over
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 7: 22 years. I've read your newsletter for the last 22
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 7: plus years. You're my personal financial expert. How do you
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 7: guys keep beating the markets almost every year when 90%
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 7: of Wall Street money managers fail to do so?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: Well, thanks, Wayne.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 10: I worked in that environment 15 years, worked at Wall
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 10: Street 15 years, helped take seven companies public, raised and
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 10: managed several hundred million dollars. And I know how the
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 10: group think of Wall Street works, and that's not.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: How people make money.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 10: 90% of money managers, as you say, don't beat the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 10: markets every year.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: We do.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 10: And the reason really is I had great mentors that
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 10: helped me to create what we call our VRA investing system.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 10: It's our proprietary market timing, and sector selection system. It
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 10: tells us when to be in the market, when to
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 10: be out, when to be aggressive, and when to take
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 10: some profits. It takes money to cash. And that helps
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 10: us with our sector selection. Again, market timing, those are
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 10: real keys. And we also love doing individual stock research.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 10: So that's where you put our clients and subscribers into
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 10: and get ETFs, individual stocks, And we also love Bitcoin
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 10: and gold, as you know, and silver. In 2003, I
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 10: recommended gold at $ 350 an ounce, silver.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 5: At $ 5.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 10: We recommended Bitcoin at $ 2, 000 in 2017. And combined with
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 10: those three, we're up over 4,000% in gains, 40 times
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 10: your money for our subscribers.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: So we do things a little differently.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 10: Fifth and sixth generation native Texans, and we love what
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 10: we do here in Texas.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm a witness to all of it. I've been
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 7: there for all of it. There's a lot of fear
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 7: out there today, Kip. What should investors know about the
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 7: stock market right now?
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you got to be in this market. That's what
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 10: investors should know. Look, volatility is the price of a vision.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: It just is.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 5: It comes with the territory.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 10: But these dips give us great buying opportunities. Look, we've
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 10: been the most bullish market strategist in America for the
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 10: last four years. We call this the innovation revolution meets
• 1:03:18
