1:39

Pearl, coach of the Auburn Tigers basketball team,

1:41

but he wasn't on to talk about basketball.

1:43

We addressed that in the beginning and

1:46

some of the stuff going on with NIL, but we

1:48

also addressed some really serious issues. This was a really

1:50

powerful interview about some world affairs and Bruce isn't afraid

1:52

to speak out. You

1:55

know, I love this guy. It's always a great to

1:57

have him on the show because he loves the

1:59

country. I'm not shy about it. And

2:01

he's used his platform to speak out about

2:04

issues that matter to America and that

2:06

matter to America overseas. Welcome back

2:08

to the show, coach of the

2:10

Auburn Tigers, basketball coach Bruce Pearl. Bruce, welcome

2:13

back to the show. It's good to have

2:15

you. It's great to be with you again,

2:17

Dan. Thank you. You got it. So

2:20

before we get to the really critical, important stuff, it

2:22

is March Madness right around

2:24

the corner. Bruce, you've had an amazing

2:26

season. Yet again, you

2:29

have really turned the Auburn

2:31

Tigers into an incredible basketball

2:33

powerhouse. I believe you guys are

2:35

at 12 now. I think

2:37

you should be higher personally. But

2:39

how are you feeling about the tournament this

2:41

year? I get the sense, I love college

2:43

basketball like you do, that this is one

2:45

of the few times we've had in modern

2:47

times where this thing's wide open. I mean,

2:50

anybody could win this thing, including you guys. Well,

2:53

Dan, it's March. And

2:55

we're getting ready for one shining moment.

2:59

But there are a lot of teams that are

3:01

in this thing and feel like they could cut

3:03

down nets. The top seeds

3:05

are probably going to be UConn

3:08

and Houston. And

3:11

North Carolina's got a shot at

3:14

one per due. And

3:16

then maybe Tennessee. I think those are the five

3:18

teams that have shot for the

3:20

top four seeds. And those teams

3:22

are going to be hard to keep out

3:24

of the final four just because they've all

3:27

had great, great years with dominating rosters, big,

3:29

strong, physical. They almost check

3:31

every box. But Cinderella's are out

3:33

there. And that is

3:35

what is so special about the NCAA

3:37

tournament. 40 minutes, anything

3:40

can happen. The upsets are obviously

3:42

what people kind of live for to

3:44

pick that 5'12 matchup that somebody's going

3:46

to go with it. You wouldn't have

3:48

expected. And by

3:52

the way, Dan, the game has never

3:54

been better. Right now, the product on the

3:56

floor is really good. Kids

3:58

are playing hard. game the right way

4:01

and we're in for a real treat. Starting

4:04

this week, because this week right now

4:06

we're sort of championship week as all

4:08

the conferences I've done with the regular

4:10

season now and they're beginning their conference

4:12

tournament championships will be in Nashville this

4:15

weekend as the having finished at tide

4:17

for second and we're

4:19

three wins away from winning it but it's gonna

4:22

be challenging and then next weekend is the beginning

4:24

of March Madness and the NCAA tournament. Yeah,

4:27

I'm stoked. You guys played outside of a

4:29

couple, you know, in a long season, of

4:31

course, you're gonna have a couple of turkeys

4:34

but your season's been solid. I mean, you

4:36

have blown out some quality teams and even

4:38

the loss to Tennessee, you played them tough.

4:40

I watched that game start to finish. That

4:43

is a tough, tough team. Your team is

4:45

great this year but Bruce,

4:47

I had you on because, you know, again,

4:49

you're one of these guys that I really

4:51

admire because you're not afraid to express your

4:53

love for America and you're very vocal about

4:56

things that matter and one of the

4:58

things I know matters to you that matters

5:00

to me is this ongoing crisis in the

5:02

Middle East, Israel under attack in the horrific

5:05

October 7 terror attack and

5:08

I'm finding that the PR war

5:10

that the terrorist rapists at Hamas

5:12

are conducting, Bruce, sadly

5:15

has become quite effective

5:18

as people in this administration and

5:20

some liberals are now vocally

5:22

arguing for a

5:24

ceasefire, just I guess suggesting that they should

5:26

just let Israel be attacked again. I mean,

5:29

they do PR and terrorism better than anyone

5:31

in Hamas. They do

5:33

and they've really done it for

5:35

a long, long time and

5:38

of course, you know, Dan, you know, you just

5:40

go all the way back to the beginning of

5:42

time and you go back to throughout your Bible,

5:44

you know, the area, you

5:47

know, God's area in

5:50

Israel and Jerusalem has been fought

5:52

over and you

5:55

know, it has been a mess for a very long time. So

5:59

why should we think that? right now we have the

6:01

potential to get it all right. But

6:05

when policy and politics get in the

6:07

way of each other, that's a

6:09

real problem. And that's where we find

6:11

ourselves as far as living in a

6:14

way more dangerous world right now than

6:16

we did three or four years ago. When

6:20

President Biden and his staff came in and

6:23

they began to refund Iran and allow

6:25

them to do business, they just put

6:27

money in the pockets of all these

6:30

terrorists and all their proxies throughout

6:32

the Middle East. And the

6:34

other thing they did was they gave

6:36

the terrorists and some of the opposition

6:38

hope for the impossible. And

6:43

those two things I think

6:45

are what has led to

6:47

the emboldament of Israel's enemies

6:50

and therefore the enemies of

6:53

the United States. And right

6:55

now, if we could just turn the tide

6:57

back, the clock back to October 8th, where

6:59

I thought President Biden did the right things by sending

7:01

a fleet to the Middle East, by

7:03

standing with Israel against the worst

7:06

genocide since the Holocaust, he said

7:08

the right things, he did the

7:10

right things, but we all worried

7:12

and prayed, how long would it

7:15

last when his base would

7:17

be calling for a ceasefire? Nobody

7:20

wants to continue this war right

7:22

now because it's anybody's desire to

7:24

kill more people. Israel doesn't want to

7:27

continue this war to put more death

7:29

and destruction to the Palestinian people. The

7:31

only reason why they have to continue

7:34

this war is to destroy

7:36

the enemy, their sworn enemy, that has

7:38

been trying to eliminate them from their

7:40

existence for 80 years. And

7:43

if this country, if the president

7:45

doesn't allow Israel to

7:47

finish the job and remove

7:49

Hamas and therefore free the

7:51

Palestinian people and the Gazans

7:53

from Their own worst enemy, their

7:56

leadership and the Israeli citizens from

7:58

their ability to live. It's

8:00

a peace and prosperity. We will

8:02

have missed a terrible, terrible opportunity.

8:04

Israel must finish the job. The

8:06

world had to finish the job

8:08

in World War Two and in

8:10

the German people paid a tremendous

8:12

price, but they came out on

8:14

the other end way better off

8:16

than under Nazi rule. and that's

8:18

what I'm health has been. A.

8:21

Long as there's no question about and any

8:24

rational lack to retain I'm a token Bruce

8:26

Pearl, Bruce one of us are issues I

8:28

get into debates about this often. it's It's

8:30

really incredible how when you just you mentioned

8:32

Israel, the rules of debate go out the

8:35

window and it becomes an emotional affair rather

8:37

than a fact base affair people say to

8:39

me all the time. Well. It's

8:41

asymmetric, they say. bruce Israel's killed thirty thousand

8:44

and smooth as what would you get? that

8:46

number. Has. Said well, Hamas I

8:48

sit on the you mean the same people

8:50

who raped and murdered a bunch of women

8:52

and kids on October. So you believe them.

8:55

Okay, so even assuming that's true, which I

8:57

I sincerely doubt even assuming that's true that

8:59

that number, which I think is absurd, I

9:02

don't. I know you don't I don't support

9:04

the death of civilians, nobody does. But did.

9:06

this is war. War is real. Didn't start

9:08

correct. You can go back generations on the

9:11

who did what, but there's no question. October

9:13

seventh was a Hamas attack on Israel. But

9:15

I say again, I a. Smoker even

9:17

assuming your numbers. True. Thirty thousand civilians

9:19

which is horrible. I on shape wife

9:22

wire civilians that a war zone when

9:24

Israel warn them to get out. And.

9:26

In our daughter said they sort stammering or

9:28

Bruce and I said i'm maybe it's because

9:31

Hamas wants some there and they won't let

9:33

them escape. Did you miss that in the

9:35

news reports? That's why the civilian deaths or

9:38

even if you accept Tomas as number is

9:40

so high and that's a fact. the

9:43

up and that the genocide is

9:45

on the hands of the other

9:48

of the palestinian authority hamas in

9:50

the leadership of other palestinians and

9:52

dozens because they have they've sit

9:55

behind them they've dug tunnels under

9:57

them they've educated them and indoctrinated

10:00

them and brainwash them to things

10:02

that just simply aren't false. And

10:04

you know, they've got the ability to do

10:07

that because look, there has been death and destruction

10:09

on both sides. There's reason for

10:11

both sides to have a level

10:13

of animosity that has been built

10:15

up over a period of time.

10:18

You know, the bottom line is, is, is

10:21

look, Americans want freedom for

10:23

people. They want freedom for all people. And

10:25

so if you would believe the narrative that

10:27

these Palestinians were there before the Jews or

10:29

they were before, they were before somebody else

10:31

or so on and so forth, and

10:34

you want to feel like, well, they have a right

10:36

to return. They absolutely have a right to return as

10:38

long as they live and want to live in peace

10:40

with their neighbors. They don't have

10:43

a right to return and

10:45

be terrorists and have anti-phata,

10:47

anti-phata and blow up, you

10:50

know, people left and right simply because

10:52

they want, you know, a

10:55

Palestinian state to be created for the

10:57

first time. Like Dan, there's never been

10:59

a Palestinian state, okay, ever in history.

11:02

And in 2005... I

11:04

wish more people understood that. Yeah. They

11:06

don't understand it. In 2005, Israel

11:10

removed for a chance for peace over 30,000

11:12

Israelis and took them out of God,

11:18

removed them from their homes and their

11:20

schools and their synagogues and said, okay,

11:22

you know what, you guys, we're

11:25

going to do what you ask. Here

11:27

it is. You got Gaza. Let's

11:29

live in peace. And two years

11:31

later, we're at war

11:33

right away. And so what are

11:35

we supposed to do? Create another state on

11:38

the other side of Gaza. This is what

11:40

kills me, Dan. We're going

11:42

to reward the terrorists and we're going to

11:44

reward their atrocities by

11:46

calling our government right now calling

11:48

for the creation of a Palestinian

11:51

state. That ship

11:53

has sailed. That is no longer

11:55

an option. Why

11:57

in the world would this country, you

11:59

know... all for the state of

12:01

Texas to all of a sudden become

12:03

some Mexican state, which is sort of

12:05

becoming at the southern border right now,

12:07

we would not do that because we

12:09

wouldn't put our citizens in

12:12

harm's way. As I'm sitting here saying

12:14

that, it's kind of ironic that we're

12:16

sort of doing that anyway. It just

12:18

flat out makes no sense. And when

12:21

policy and politics intermingle, you know, I

12:23

just, I just, I fear that

12:25

our country is going to get in the way

12:27

of Israel doing what must be done and leave

12:29

the situation in a worse place than they found

12:32

it. And oh, by the way, when our eyes

12:34

are all focused on this, you and I both

12:36

know that our eyes should be focused on Iran

12:39

because they're the ones behind all of this.

12:41

They're the ones that are pulling the strings

12:43

and they're the ones that are oh, two

12:45

or three weeks away from being able to

12:48

have a nuclear weapon. And nobody's talking about

12:50

that. As bad as things

12:52

have gotten in the last three years, it's

12:54

going to get worse until President

12:57

Biden is no longer in the White

12:59

House. It's incredible. We're

13:02

talking to Bruce Pearl, basketball coach for

13:04

the over and targets. Bruce, it's incredible.

13:06

We've befriended Iran and are making enemies

13:08

out of Israel. It's just bizarre. Bruce,

13:11

can I ask you one last question? Senator

13:13

Ted Cruz has a hearing

13:15

going on about NIL, name, image,

13:17

likeness, that college athletes can now

13:20

profit from their athletic prowess. This

13:23

isn't going away, NIL. I know

13:25

there's supporters and detractors and I

13:27

believe in economic freedom personally, but

13:30

this is college sports. We

13:32

just we got to we're going to have to live with it.

13:34

This is the future, correct? Yeah,

13:36

it is. And because you

13:39

do believe in freedom and capitalism

13:41

and the market, that's

13:44

why you're a believer. The

13:47

NCAA was very, very late to

13:49

the to recognizing that

13:52

the student athletes were the last ones to

13:54

be able to be compensated fairly. Everybody

13:56

was making enormous money the last 40 years in.

14:00

athletics because the television context, you know,

14:02

so and so. The Supreme Court has

14:05

spoken and they have said that,

14:08

you know, tuition run board books is

14:10

no longer enough. These student athletes need

14:12

to be able to participate in a

14:14

fair market so they can benefit from

14:16

their own name, image, and likeness. The

14:18

issues right now is because the NCAA

14:21

has not been able to provide any order and

14:24

that's the best way I could put it right now. There

14:26

is just simply no order. You

14:28

can mine a transfer portal with the

14:31

NIL and you have yearly free agency

14:33

and so what we really need to

14:35

do is the people that are way

14:38

smarter than me need to get together

14:40

with Congress and kind of figure out a

14:42

way to provide some of those protections for

14:44

the NCAA again so that we can sort

14:46

of manage it. The student athletes deserve everything

14:48

they're getting but right now it's

14:51

just kind of a little out of control who should pay

14:53

for it. We universities right now

14:56

have the profits through what we're making

14:58

in inter-class athletics to be able to

15:00

compensate the student athletes. I don't think

15:02

it should simply come out of the

15:05

pockets of donors and industry. I'm

15:07

not for having to be employees because there's

15:09

a lot of things that could be problems

15:12

for the student athletes if they became employees

15:15

but what we're doing right now is we're trying to

15:17

figure it out. It is what it is right now.

15:19

It's good for the student athletes but there needs to

15:21

be some order provided in it. I

15:24

agree with you. I love it to

15:26

support it. I think your analysis there is

15:28

accurate. I mean I'm a free market guy.

15:31

These guys have demonstrated extreme prowess hours and

15:33

hours of their lives. They should be fairly

15:35

compensated. Bruce I wish I had more time.

15:37

Bruce Pearl, coach of the Auburn Tigers, I

15:40

think you guys got an amazing shot. You

15:42

know I'll be watching. I'm thinking ahead into

15:44

the SEC tournament so if I go I'll

15:46

be in there in the stands cheering for

15:49

you and Bruce please I see you on

15:51

the bench. You always look like you're five

15:53

minutes away from you. I'm worried about you

15:55

buddy. You love your team so much man.

15:58

Watching you is as good as watching. I'm

16:00

watching the game. God bless you, my brother. Good luck

16:02

in the tournament. I'm sort

16:04

of a what to watch for guy. I think really

16:06

because my face is always red and I've always looked

16:08

angry. They're ready for me to drop. I mean, is

16:10

Bruce Pearl going to drop in this game? Is

16:13

this the game that passes out? Only

16:15

the good guy. I'm going to be fine. You're

16:17

resilient, brother. God bless you, my friend. Good luck

16:19

to the team. Thank you. Thank

16:22

you, sir. Bruce Pearl. War Eagle, brother. You

16:24

know it. I'm not kidding. They got as

16:26

good a shot as anyone. Man, that was

16:28

an interview, Jim. NCAA tournament, NIL, Middle East

16:31

policy. Hey, financial experts thought

16:33

we were in the clear. They were

16:35

anticipating around six or eight cuts by the

16:37

Fed this year and then the inflation data

16:39

came out higher than expected. Listen, inflation is

16:41

not going away. It can't. The US is

16:43

$34 trillion in the hole and we keep

16:45

printing money. It's pushing the prices up every

16:47

single day. You can either bury your head

16:50

in the sand or do something about it.

16:52

Diversify a portion of your savings into gold

16:54

with Burt's Gold Group. Gold is your hedge

16:56

against inflation and Burt's Gold makes it super

16:58

easy to own. I've been a customer of

17:00

this for a while. They help you convert

17:02

an existing IRA or 401k to a tax

17:04

shelter IRA in gold and you don't pay a

17:06

penny out of pocket. Gold is a part of my

17:33

I'm reading the Wall Street Journal opinion column. I had

17:35

missed it last night. I usually read it

17:37

every night. Most of the articles go

17:39

live at about 7 p.m. Eastern and I enjoy it.

17:41

It's kind of a... It's

17:43

a center right, if not

17:46

sometimes center left newspaper,

17:48

but the articles and the opinion writers are

17:51

pretty decent. So I like

17:53

to read it every night. I haven't missed a column in a

17:55

long time and I had forgotten last night. So I'm walking upstairs

17:57

between the break and I Realized... The

18:00

Hero darn. I miss last night's opinion section. First

18:02

time in a long time. so I was doing

18:04

the live show. And. I'm

18:06

really do It and is an article in there about.

18:09

Is. This to Barnacles back to back one

18:11

is about the by the ministrations new war

18:14

on corporate greed and in the second one

18:16

is about Leticia James said they're suing Big

18:18

Meet again or something that big meet. The.

18:20

I quit his at a porn. No no Big

18:22

Me they mimic member gym that is saying weber

18:24

big me big turkey they. If

18:27

is this is all laughable. Super did it.

18:29

Don't laugh because this is what's really happening

18:31

right now and it's and as uncomfortable just

18:33

get more. Ticked. Off as I'm

18:35

walking back up the stairs into the studio. Because.

18:39

Again, it goes back to my point. About.

18:42

How dumb you have to be to be

18:44

a democrat. I.

18:46

Mean what? It's.

18:49

It's states really. it's stunning. Stunning.

18:54

The degree of of. Stupidity.

18:58

You have to embrace to believe

19:00

this. So. Here's

19:03

what's going on. The. Bike

19:05

Administration's. Inflation reduction.

19:08

Spent. Hundreds of billions of

19:10

dollars we don't have. Which.

19:13

Further fuel the Colvin

19:15

blow. Which. Was bipartisan

19:17

by the way. Which.

19:21

Printed. A lot of money which

19:23

causes inflation. It. Is a

19:25

government problem? Republican and democrat

19:28

at Biden is made geometrically

19:30

worse. So. Because the

19:32

government hates your guts, They hates

19:34

you. They treat you like an

19:36

idiot. A bunch of focus group

19:38

tested democrats sat around in a

19:40

circle and said are voters are

19:43

stupid We know that. So how

19:45

do we tell these don't be

19:47

stupid moron seeps that I believe

19:49

Anything we tell them the seep

19:51

out there. How do we tell

19:54

these idiots and blame this on

19:56

anything other than the government did?

19:58

Did it disinflation? Crisis. And

20:00

someone said. Opera

20:02

we start a task force on corporate greed.

20:05

Said it. Was

20:08

that's a great idea. And

20:10

maybe let's assume for a second there was one

20:12

non moron in the room which with democrats it's

20:15

very hard to do but say the with. And

20:17

a guy comes up in well. Minutes

20:20

Kind of dishonest. you know that's not really

20:22

does. I'm it even to do with it.

20:25

I. Mean of businesses were. Raising.

20:28

Prices because of corporate greed.

20:31

And other businesses would come in and take

20:33

advantage of the greedy and undercut them on

20:35

prices. And steal all the business, right?

20:37

To me, that's how business works. We.

20:40

Know that's how business works. Smart

20:42

ass. Word on here to solve

20:44

problems. Word: A Government. We're.

20:46

Here to things up. It

20:49

rhymes with smart. Okay,

20:51

We're not here to fix things dumb

20:53

as. Kind. Of moron

20:55

or use the government. The.

20:58

Government we're a mess things up. Or.

21:03

Corporate greed even if that are you me was

21:05

true. Are. We kind of

21:07

making a political case against Joe Biden. That.

21:10

For some reason corporations were not greedy other Donald

21:12

Trump but are now greedy other job I do.

21:14

Either way it looks bad for us to. Stop.

21:18

With the to. Stop. With a

21:20

Saturday where democrats. I.

21:24

Me where the party is Sadie

21:26

Willis. And. Letitia

21:28

James. Liz. Warren

21:30

and Bernie Sanders. Blue.

21:34

Moon Moon a broom who

21:36

screwed up origin. Reloaded.

21:39

Is more years. We.

21:41

Do more people like me? Bomb

21:44

pseudo work for a living. More bugs this

21:46

is going to be Birdie said as if

21:49

he runs of residents as you to these

21:51

robberies or more bombs less worth This is

21:53

their this You know how dumb you have,

21:55

why you're so stupid. i get

21:57

i aside a democrat Some

22:00

people get that don't really like the tone of the show. I

22:02

don't care. Because it's true. Why?

22:05

You hate black people. That's obvious. I

22:07

mean, we covered that in the first 20 minutes of the show. That's

22:09

just a given. The Democrats are

22:12

just the most racist people on planet Earth.

22:17

Democrats can't get ID. Why? Ah.

22:20

No, why? Would you like to explain

22:22

that? White people can? Yes, they definitely can. They're

22:25

so much smarter. They are? They're black

22:27

people? That sounds awfully

22:29

racist. Oh, no, I didn't mean it like that.

22:31

How'd you mean it? Unlike something else. Explain.

22:34

Oh, oh, oh, Mama.

22:39

We know you hate black people. We know you're racist.

22:41

We know you're the party of the Klan. We know

22:43

all that. That's all true. But

22:46

why do you have to be the party of the imbecile class too?

22:50

Corporate greed. That's what's leading to

22:52

the inflation crisis. And magically. So

22:54

let me just. I'm a business guy, so

22:56

I can actually speak from experience. No,

22:59

you can look it up. I mean, I own

23:02

stock in publicly traded companies. You can go look

23:04

at all kinds of things. You can see it

23:06

is out there. So I own

23:08

a lot of stock in Rumble. You

23:11

realize Rumble's business model in the

23:13

beginning and Rumble's

23:16

business model now is

23:18

to be price competitive by

23:21

offering creators many

23:23

of them 100% of the revenue so we could undercut

23:26

YouTube. Undercut? That sounds awful. No,

23:29

that's how business works. That's how products get cheaper. Liberals

23:31

are like, what? I

23:33

didn't know why I got in

23:36

my communist college. Of course you

23:38

didn't. Because you're stupid. And

23:40

you sat in the quad smoking

23:42

a bowl with Samuel learning about

23:44

the legendary Karl Marx. Oh,

23:48

you love him. He's a legend. You say, what virus?

23:50

Probably you probably get a t-shirt. Probably we got

23:52

a hat. I love Shay. We

23:55

came in with Rumble and we were like, wait, so

23:58

if you put a video on YouTube, you get what? 50%

24:00

of the ad revenue that runs on YouTube. Chris,

24:03

the CEO was like, what

24:06

do you think if we give someone 100%? You

24:09

think creators would come over? I said, I think they would. Now,

24:15

it's interesting, is that corporate greed? We're

24:17

taking no money, we're giving you, how does that, how does

24:19

that? But

24:23

you see how the corporate greed, air quotes,

24:25

works for us. We get more

24:28

creators in the door and you get

24:30

more money. You

24:32

understand how you have to explain basics. This

24:34

is, what bothers me about Democrats,

24:37

and I promise I'll get back to Victoria Nuland,

24:39

I'm just in a mood right now. It

24:43

is a win-win. Capitalism has always

24:45

been a win-win. It

24:47

is, from time immemorial.

24:52

You see what it's like talking

24:54

to liberals, oh, you have to

24:56

explain basic, I'm not

24:59

talking about economic 707 courses. I'm

25:02

talking about second grade

25:04

level thinking. Why

25:07

do prices go down over time for

25:10

flat screen TVs? Well,

25:12

because companies find out to make,

25:15

find productivity measures to make them

25:17

cheaper. Why would they do that? Because

25:20

if they make their product cheaper than the

25:22

other guys, more people will

25:24

buy their product. Why? Because

25:27

it's cheaper, you freaking moron. Are

25:29

you stupid, Johnny? And

25:31

then when it's cheaper, other companies find

25:33

a way to undercut the price there

25:35

and make it even cheaper. And

25:38

when they make it cheaper, the consumer

25:40

benefits by buying a cheaper product. And

25:44

then this weird thing happens. Cheaper

25:47

products get even better. The

25:49

$4,000 flat screen from 20 years ago

25:52

doesn't even have a 10th

25:56

of the quality of the picture right now That

25:58

the $500. A flat does

26:01

that weighs probably one one hundredth as

26:03

much. Six.

26:09

But. Now you've gotten Letitia James up. A

26:11

New York wants to our what she's

26:13

prosecute here. it was your journal. The.

26:16

New York Attorney General Sousa meet company

26:18

because it sells too much meat that

26:20

see as you will headline. As.

26:26

I can. I. Can fake it

26:28

anymore because I'm too old. And

26:30

I don't know how long I am for the service.

26:33

I'm I like dying of cancer generating but I made.

26:35

Me like anyone else. I

26:37

really don't know. I've

26:39

reached hopefully the halfway point of my

26:42

life. And I can't fake it

26:44

anymore. folks. I really hate

26:46

liberals. I can't stand them. I. Can't

26:48

I can't stand the stupid. I

26:51

hated that they hate black people and

26:53

Hispanic people in every and immigrants. The.

26:55

Heat immigrants. Yes, they hate immigrants. If

26:58

you're a legal immigrant, they comes here. They hate

27:00

you. They. Do nothing for you.

27:03

They. Take care of other people at your expense

27:05

who broke the law. Come in. Ottawa

27:08

know that bulk as it happened to my wife who

27:10

happens to be a legal immigrants Who the country are

27:13

you to know that. They.

27:16

Can't stand black people. They.

27:18

Hate Hispanic voters. They.

27:21

Hate anyone with half a brain and he talked you

27:23

like you're an idiot. Joe.

27:25

Biden wants to start a corporate greed

27:27

task force that is hilarious. Hilarious.

27:31

Because. He knows he will play

27:33

on the moron class. That.

27:38

Sorry I totally show

27:40

about. What? Jim.

27:45

Says now was new bike as I can't

27:47

let my. I

27:50

died. Really? Man, I'm a hard time I've I

27:52

would have read this last night. The.

27:54

Journal and would have all kind of settled by

27:56

the morning. But.

27:59

at Why? Why? Why are you

28:01

so stupid, Democrats? Why? You

28:04

choose to be stupid? Is

28:06

anything that is anything I just said hard to

28:08

understand? If there's

28:11

corporate greed going on under

28:13

the Biden administration, have you

28:15

asked yourself ever why it

28:17

took a Democrat president and

28:19

a Senate for corporate greed

28:21

to set in? Have I registered

28:24

to you? And if

28:26

corporate greed really exists to

28:28

the moron Democrats out there in the audience, and

28:30

there are a lot of them, why

28:33

aren't you just going and taking advantage of it?

28:37

Why? Big

28:40

meat. Why

28:42

don't you start a farm somewhere and undercut

28:44

their meat prices and make a fortune? Well,

28:47

because I can't. I can't learn to do

28:49

things as efficiently as I can. Oh, so

28:51

they're charging a market clearing price based

28:54

on their knowledge of the meat market. Oh,

28:57

okay. You guys don't

29:02

let you just dumb. I get

29:04

me every year. I'm going to Facebook. I'll put

29:06

this up now. I guarantee you there's a

29:08

thousand messages here from liberals.

29:12

They hate it when you call them stupid because

29:14

they know it's true. They're

29:16

racist, they're morons, and they're

29:19

just killing the country. Come

29:22

on, tell me in the audience out there. Tell

29:25

me you don't agree with me. Why do we got to

29:27

live with these people? Why can't they

29:29

just go to, you know, liberal

29:32

states and all

29:34

just coagulate there and then do their liberal

29:36

stuff? I mean, the place would descend into

29:38

a hellhole in 10 minutes. We

29:41

got to live next door to morons all the time.

29:45

They really are. They're the dumbest people I've

29:47

ever seen. They will fall for anything. Anything.

29:53

I'm sorry, man, but we're just not the same. You

29:57

come to me and tell me about a... You

30:00

know new fair tax versus

30:02

flat tax. I want to hear the

30:04

specifics Well, how

30:06

does the fair tax work? How

30:09

are we gonna make this or how are

30:11

we gonna sunset these income tax provisions? I

30:13

ask questions. Oh, you're gonna do

30:15

a flat tax Okay. Well, how does that work? How

30:17

exactly we gonna do it? We're gonna flatten out corporate.

30:20

What about cap gains? What are you know

30:22

Republicans ask questions? Democrats

30:25

30:27

Hey, all black people don't know how to

30:29

30:31

yeah, I know they're really dumb. You're

30:33

30:55

greed? It's so weird. So

30:57

33:37

medical and its products are not intended as a

33:39

substitute for professional medical treatment or advice consult with

33:41

your health care provider we

33:43

also have congresswoman Lauren Boebert but

33:45

a sad ongoing controversy developing

33:48

out in Colorado an effort to attack her

33:50

in the MAGA crowd folks

33:54

you know I know it's passe with

33:56

liberals to actually ask questions everything's just

33:58

labeled automatically a conspiracy theory but I'm

34:01

not going to give up on the

34:03

old art of investigative reporting where you

34:05

see a story and you don't naturally

34:07

accept it at face value especially when

34:10

it involves Washington DC. So

34:12

Congressman Ken Buck resigned, well we knew he

34:14

wasn't going to run again but resigned unexpectedly

34:17

said he's leaving next week, he's a Republican

34:19

from Colorado in a safe district and I

34:21

thought to myself why would he do that?

34:24

So I had some suspicions because

34:26

a really, really terrific Congresswoman who's going

34:28

to run in that district, Lauren Boebert

34:31

is going to run in that district and I thought something

34:33

may be afoot. So we decided

34:35

to have the Congresswoman on to get her side

34:37

of the story which I believe is the right

34:39

one. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, thanks a

34:42

lot for joining us, we really appreciate

34:44

it. Stan, it is

34:46

wonderful to be on with you

34:48

and try to bring some understanding

34:50

to the confusion that Ken Buck's

34:52

resignation has brought to not just

34:55

Colorado but to the country. Yeah,

34:58

it's really crazy because last night

35:00

there was a segment of my

35:02

show that made its way around

35:04

social media, I noticed you picked

35:06

up on it where I said

35:08

this is kind of strange, you've got this pro-America

35:13

relatively non-establishment MAGA Congresswoman Lauren

35:15

Boebert who's going to run

35:17

in Ken Buck's district in

35:19

November, Election Day like every

35:21

other member of the House

35:24

and you probably have good duty or name ID

35:26

and you got a pretty good name in Colorado,

35:28

you probably had a good chance of winning that

35:31

seat. So he leaves early which

35:34

creates a special election which means there's

35:36

going to be a primary for the

35:38

November election and a special election

35:40

on the same day. Now Congresswoman

35:42

call me crazy but you can't run

35:44

in both of those, can you? That's

35:49

correct because if I were to run in

35:51

both of them, I would need to resign

35:53

for my current seat and that would take

35:56

away our majority in the House

35:58

of Representatives. Whoa,

36:00

whoa, whoa, time out. So

36:02

we take, so the, hey,

36:04

wait, wait, my audience is shocked. So

36:07

you, I mean, I don't mean to

36:09

interrupt you, well, you know I don't do that, but.

36:11

Yeah. So some DC swampies

36:14

opened up a seat early in a

36:16

safe Republican district that you're running in,

36:18

knowing that if you wanted to get

36:20

a leg up in that seat, other

36:22

than do it the right way, you

36:24

would have to leave another seat which

36:27

may give Hakeem Jeffries the gavel. I

36:30

know this sounds crazy, but is that what you're telling me?

36:33

That's what I'm telling you. You know,

36:35

I would leave my current constituents

36:37

without representation for three months, like

36:39

Ken Buck is doing here

36:41

in Colorado's fourth district. They won't

36:44

have a representative for three months

36:46

and we would lose a second

36:48

vote in the House of Representatives.

36:50

And that is absolutely not something

36:53

I'm doing. I'm not leaving my

36:55

constituents abandoned and without representation. And

36:57

I am not hindering our majority

37:00

in Washington DC. So that

37:03

is what eliminates my ability to

37:05

run in the special election. Besides

37:07

that, I don't wanna play their

37:10

swampy games. I made

37:12

a statement yesterday and I said, I

37:14

get it. You have a candidate that

37:16

you like that is Ukraine first, Ken

37:18

Buck knows that his endorsement of him

37:20

only hurts that candidate. And

37:22

so they did this backroom

37:24

deal to have Ken

37:26

Buck resign and Ken Buck knew a

37:28

week before he resigned that he was

37:30

doing it because his staff all got

37:32

big bonuses and raises and promotions. So

37:35

then he announced and now here

37:38

we are. So this is their

37:40

choice, the establishment choice, a

37:45

leg up in this race, because now he

37:47

can raise double the money, one

37:49

into a special election fund and another into

37:51

his regular campaign. And he

37:53

could raise double the money, get the

37:55

name recognition, say I am the nominee

37:58

that the Republican party is chosen. vote

38:00

for me and his name will appear two

38:02

times on the same day and we are

38:04

we are waiting to hear

38:07

from the Secretary of State if that's going to

38:09

be one ballot or two ballots. I believe it

38:11

will be two the way I understand it it

38:13

has to be two but that's

38:15

also going to cost the taxpayers money

38:18

to have two ballots sent on the

38:20

same day. All of this is a

38:22

mess. It's selfish. It is why

38:25

we hate Washington DC. It's why we

38:27

hate politicians and this

38:30

has caused such chaos and confusion in

38:32

Colorado and throughout the nation and it's

38:34

going to take a lot of resources

38:36

certainly on my part to explain the

38:38

voters exactly what is going on because

38:40

I am running this race. Now I

38:42

talked for a long stint there but

38:44

I just want to make one more

38:46

point here. The one thing

38:48

that could help alleviate some of this confusion

38:50

is if the

38:52

vacancy committee who nominates this

38:54

person for the special election

38:57

chooses someone who's not currently running for

38:59

the seat. So

39:02

I have 10 opponents right now who

39:04

I am running against in this primary

39:06

for June 25th and if

39:08

they were to go outside of us

39:10

candidates who are running for the 4th

39:12

district that would help alleviate

39:14

a lot of confusion. This is a different

39:16

name. This person is a placeholder. We'll be

39:19

there just a few months and

39:21

then we can continue on with our race

39:23

and move forward. So right now it's

39:26

our job to put pressure on

39:28

the vacancy committee to do something like that.

39:32

We're talking to congresswoman Lauren Boebert. Congresswoman

39:35

you know the mercenary thing

39:37

to do if you were that type of

39:39

person would be to

39:41

leave your current constituents behind and say

39:43

you know what I've got a

39:45

safe seat over there. I'm

39:48

leaving now. I'm out but

39:50

you're not doing that and

39:52

I appreciate that because that

39:54

would be doing significant damage

39:56

to this already fragile majority.

40:00

just said is important. That seems like if Ken

40:02

Buck is going to screw over America. And

40:04

you don't know, I'm just going to, I

40:06

don't like this guy. I've never liked this

40:08

guy. You don't got to say, I can't

40:10

stand this guy. I met him a couple

40:12

of times up on the hill when I

40:14

was giving testimony. I don't like politicians at

40:16

all present company excluded, but that guy I

40:18

genuinely don't like. He did this to give

40:20

the double barrel middle finger to America. It's

40:22

the only reason. It's

40:24

not a health thing. Thank God I don't wish

40:26

bad health on anyone. He's not coming down going,

40:28

I've got a fatal disease, someone

40:31

died. No, he's basically saying, I'm

40:33

just leaving to throw the Republican

40:35

Party into chaos and screw over

40:37

Boebert. That's the only reason he's

40:39

doing it. So this election committee

40:41

that's listening, that's fair. It's

40:43

a horrible situation he created, but that's perfectly fair.

40:45

Put a placeholder in there who says, I'm not

40:47

going to run. It's not going to be one

40:50

of these candidates. And Congresswoman,

40:52

you and the rest of the other candidates can

40:54

duke it out like you have been, and the

40:56

voters will pick nothing wrong with that, right? Exactly.

40:59

That's exactly how it should be. We should

41:01

run the race that we are in, and

41:05

I don't believe that anyone should be stepping up

41:07

and saying, I will

41:10

sacrifice myself to be in this special election.

41:14

I have three opponents who have currently thrown their

41:16

name in before the vacancy committee, but I'm

41:19

making phone calls. A lot of

41:21

Coloradans are making phone calls. We're reaching out to the

41:23

vacancy committee. And first

41:25

of all, informing them, because this is pretty

41:27

unprecedented here, and we're informing them

41:30

of the process, but then also encouraging them

41:32

to choose someone who's not currently a candidate.

41:36

Congresswoman, I interact with my

41:38

audience a lot.

41:41

I don't detach myself from it. I follow them.

41:44

We have a live rumble show, and they

41:46

message me on Facebook, and I read all

41:48

their messages during the show. There's

41:52

not a single Colorado voter

41:55

who doesn't see through this. Now, granted, this

41:57

is not an accurate sample size. My

42:00

audience is unusually politically active, so I don't want

42:02

to act like this is some kind of independent

42:04

poll. However, even with issues like

42:06

this, there's usually a few people who

42:09

have something to say on the contrary.

42:12

Every single person, and there's quite a few

42:14

here, understands this was a

42:16

nakedly political move to keep you out

42:18

of that seat. Now here's what worries

42:20

me. Ken Buck, this is not

42:22

a conspiracy theory. These are Ken Buck's own

42:25

words, not mine. Gave an interview,

42:27

apparently, and told one of these

42:29

outlets that he knows that, or

42:31

he says there are three more resignations

42:33

coming up that are going to surprise,

42:35

I guess, Speaker Johnson and the House

42:38

even more. If that's the

42:40

case, Congresswoman, this isn't just an attack on

42:42

you. This is an

42:44

attack on, hopefully, soon-to-be President, again,

42:46

Trump, because they want Hakeem Jeffries

42:49

to have the gavel during this

42:51

President-elect period from November to January.

42:55

Yes. Well, and if that's the case,

42:57

if we get those three resignations, then

42:59

Congress may not gavel in. We

43:02

may not provide a quorum, because if we

43:04

did, that would be the

43:06

day that Hakeem Jeffries got

43:08

the gavel. So that means we are

43:10

in, we are

43:13

essentially more ineffective than we already

43:15

are in Washington, D.C., and won't

43:18

get anything done, because as

43:20

soon as we gavel in, then they would vacate

43:23

Mike Johnson and give the

43:25

gavel to Hakeem Jeffries. So to

43:27

those members who are considering resigning,

43:29

I mean, that's

43:32

a pretty devastating blow to our country, to

43:34

America. And you know, I

43:37

mean, Tanbong Geno, can you imagine the post

43:39

offices that won't get named for

43:41

the rest of the year? Oh, I know. No,

43:43

listen, I don't know about my life. We

43:45

definitely changed for the way. I mean, if

43:47

Congress isn't in session, Congresswoman, I

43:50

don't even get up in the morning,

43:52

because I can't. I mean, I'm totally

43:54

incapable of feeding myself or anything like

43:56

that. I totally expect some ranking member

43:58

or congressman to come over. and feed

44:00

me every morning. No, I'm glad you feel that

44:02

way and the fact that you can poke fun

44:05

at this, you know, I say to my listeners all

44:07

the time, you know, I know you've occasionally heard clips

44:09

from the podcast and this but I

44:11

say, listen, these people hate you.

44:13

I'm sorry but they do. They use you

44:16

for power and you should use them for

44:18

the same thing. You should view Congress as

44:20

political tools. Are they plus ones or minus ones?

44:22

I don't mean it in a bad way. Do

44:25

you have a Congresswoman say like Lauren Boebert who's

44:27

going to vote with us plus one or

44:29

not? I don't care. I mean, listen, I personally

44:31

like you. I've liked you for a long time but that's

44:34

not what influences who I have on the show.

44:36

You vote for stuff I care about the majority

44:38

of the time. That's it. If you don't, you

44:40

can be the nicest person on planet earth. I'm

44:42

not going to disrespect you but you're a useless

44:45

tool to me and the thing

44:47

is that they're trying to keep you, this is

44:49

definitely directed at you out

44:51

of this seat should really infuriate

44:53

the voters of that district because

44:55

make no mistake this is targeted

44:57

at you directly and everybody knows

45:00

it. You

45:02

know what Dan? Even Democrats know that

45:04

this is an attack against me directly.

45:06

When I was on the House floor,

45:08

I had several Democrats. You would cringe

45:10

if I said their names but they

45:12

came up to me with sincere compassion

45:14

and said, we

45:16

see right through this. We know this is

45:19

an attack on you and they were asking

45:21

how this affects me. These people don't want

45:23

me in Congress anymore than Ken Buck does

45:25

and they see how dirty this is. I

45:28

wonder sometimes, we're talking to Congresswoman Lauren Boebert.

45:30

Folks, you have to go by the kind

45:32

of – you have to do the Dipsey

45:34

Doo fliparoo Dan Bond Geno theory. If they

45:37

like you in Congress, I'm sorry, I think

45:39

you probably agree, Congresswoman, if the media likes

45:41

you, you're probably not an

45:43

asset to us, the conservative movement. If

45:45

the media hates you, you should be

45:47

asking why. They really just don't

45:50

like you and you should consider that a

45:52

personal badge of honor. They really hate your

45:54

guts just like they hate me. I've never

45:56

seen a positive media piece about me or

45:58

you or – or Jim

46:00

Jordan or anyone else, and that's for a

46:02

reason. They really dislike you. That's

46:06

exactly right, because we are there for the

46:08

right reasons. You have your podcast for the

46:10

right reasons. You are engaging with the American

46:12

people to inform them, to say, this isn't

46:14

over, and you are the ones who hold

46:16

the power. And they

46:19

don't want the general

46:21

public to be educated on what

46:24

is actually going on and how

46:26

much influence people at home actually

46:28

have. They want them to feel

46:31

helpless and hopeless. And like Washington,

46:33

D.C. is the only end

46:35

all, be all, and whatever happens there

46:37

happens. So those

46:39

of us who are exposing the dirty

46:41

deeds in D.C., the corruption in D.C.,

46:43

we are the ones who get attacked.

46:45

I'm fine with that. I didn't go

46:47

to D.C. to make friends. I

46:50

had plenty of friends in Colorado. I

46:52

didn't go there for a lifelong career. I

46:54

went there to save our country. I

46:56

was tired of sitting at home and complaining

46:59

about what was going on. I wanted to

47:01

be part of the solution. And with that

47:03

comes a lot of attacks on a daily

47:06

basis. But I've

47:08

learned crisis comms, and

47:10

I have learned how

47:12

to manage through that. And I do

47:14

it with joy. And that is the

47:16

key, because that is where we get

47:18

our strength. We get our strength from

47:21

joy. And joy is not just a

47:23

suggestion. It is a battle plan. And

47:25

if we're going to live by faith,

47:27

First Timothy chapter six says, fight

47:30

the good fight of faith. So if you're going

47:32

to live by faith, you know that there is

47:34

a battle ahead, so you better be ready to

47:36

fight. And Dan, I think you and I are

47:38

the types that are in this for the battle.

47:40

We are ever ready to fight, and we are

47:42

not going to give up on the American people.

47:45

Yeah, yeah man. You're 100% correct. There's nowhere

47:48

else to go. We only got one country

47:50

to save. Congresswoman, I gotta run. I

47:52

wish I could say, what's your website if people want to help you out?

47:56

laurenforfreedom.com. Dan, I don't come on

47:58

your show. Pedaling

48:00

48:07

right. I'll do it for you because I'm brutally honest

48:09

with my own Lauren

Dan Really appreciate you tuning in

49:50

to this weekend show and also at the end

49:52

as most of you heard I

49:55

lost my mom this week, and I did a tribute

49:57

to my mom on the radio and I

50:00

think it's worth hearing. It's about more than just my

50:02

situation. We've all had some suffering in our life. Live

50:07

radio, I've always told you guys, is

50:09

a really different medium. It's even different

50:11

than the podcast and TV. You

50:14

know, I've kind of dipped

50:17

my toes in all three of those and

50:20

it's just different. Radio is

50:22

just I think the

50:24

most intimate medium.

50:27

There's something about the power of the

50:29

voice and sometimes I love video shows.

50:33

They're great. I have one myself. But

50:38

the idea of just the spoken word, you get to create

50:40

your own video in your head. And

50:43

the thing about live radio is not only

50:45

do you get that the intimacy of the

50:47

spoken voice, but it's

50:50

life and life

50:52

is life. As I say

50:54

all the time, you know, we have

50:57

this perception of time like there's like a past

50:59

and a future and we're walking down this road

51:01

and that's not how

51:03

time and space are. You're just living a

51:05

series of nows. There's just

51:08

a series of today's. Time's washing

51:10

over you. You're not walking through it. You're

51:13

only alive in the now. And I

51:16

bring all this up because I got a job here

51:18

to do and you

51:21

know, life happens. Life happens, all of us, me

51:23

included. And something

51:26

really strange happened to me last night and I've been kind

51:30

of working through it this morning. I wrapped up my

51:32

other show a little bit earlier and

51:34

I'm here with you all and I'm going to be here for you. I'm

51:37

with you, I should say and you'll probably be here more

51:40

for me in the next

51:42

three hours or so. But I

51:46

had a bad night last night and I chose to be

51:48

here. I just want to be clear and so before I

51:50

tell you what happened, this

51:52

was in no way the decision of

51:54

this company at all. Westwood, Wan and

51:56

Cumulus. They could not be more

51:58

supportive. in this situation.

52:01

They actually said, please don't

52:03

come into work today. But I

52:05

thought it was important that I do it because there's

52:07

a lot going on and I may need to take

52:10

a day or two. And I

52:12

thought because I can work today, I will.

52:15

I put this thing together, this

52:17

show and we're darn well going to do

52:19

it. But I

52:21

do have some news to share with you because

52:24

I don't, if you

52:26

sense it's changing my tone today in this show,

52:28

I don't want you to speculate

52:30

on anything and I think it would be unfair

52:32

to not tell

52:34

you what's going on. Because

52:37

we live together for three hours a day

52:39

in each other's eardrums.

52:43

I hear you with the phone calls and I read what

52:45

you're saying and then you hear me in the radio. So

52:50

I lost my mom last

52:52

night. I don't

52:55

know any easy way to say that because

52:57

it was not expected. My mom had me when she

52:59

was very young. She was

53:01

only 21 and my

53:03

mom was not very old. She

53:06

wasn't the greatest of health but she most

53:10

certainly wasn't anywhere near

53:12

death. So when I

53:14

say unexpected I mean unexpected. She

53:18

took a bad fall last night down

53:21

a flight of stairs. Unfortunately

53:27

it was not immediate

53:29

like I had hoped. You always hope you're

53:32

going to go and you

53:36

go in the most not

53:40

pain free but painless way possible and

53:42

that wasn't the case. But

53:46

rather than

53:48

reflect on the sorrows and the

53:50

sufferings and all that we all go through

53:52

I'm not the only one who's lost anyone

53:54

by any stretch. We've all

53:57

experienced loss. It's a natural part of the

53:59

creative destruction. construction of life. Leave

54:02

it to me, right, to use economic synology.

54:05

Talking about death, but that's

54:07

true. That's what life is

54:09

too. This obviously is,

54:13

this one hit me hard. I wanted to tell

54:16

you something because I feel

54:18

like, I

54:21

feel like the

54:24

board gave me an opportunity here, an

54:28

opportunity to use this for something good. Folks,

54:31

I don't know where you stand on faith

54:33

and spirituality and the idea of

54:36

a heaven or an afterlife. I have no idea. It's

54:39

all my business, it's

54:41

yours. But

54:43

I'm going to tell you something that happened to me last night, and you

54:45

can take it or leave it because I'm telling you it happened, and

54:48

I am not crazy. I

54:52

don't have any diagnosed psychiatric disorders.

54:55

I'm not on psychoactive drugs. Nothing.

55:00

So this is how I found out. I was

55:04

by myself last night at my house,

55:06

which never happens. Paul and I are

55:08

rarely apart. On the road

55:10

sometimes I'll be in a hotel room by

55:12

myself if I'm traveling for, say, a show

55:15

or something like that, but I'm never home

55:17

alone. Why would I be? Paula

55:21

had gone down to Miami with my

55:23

youngest daughter to look at

55:25

them. She was a business thing

55:27

and she took my youngest daughter because they were

55:29

on a break this week. So

55:32

they were down and I was home by myself

55:34

for the first time in, gosh,

55:36

like forever. And

55:39

something strange happened to me last night. And

55:42

again, I get to tell all my people

55:44

who hate me in the audience, you can laugh all you want.

55:46

I'm going to tell the damn story anyway, because I'm telling you

55:49

it happened. At

55:52

about three o'clock in the morning, I have a tough

55:55

time sleeping because I go to bed too early. I

55:57

go to sleep at like eight o'clock. I just get

55:59

tired. Doesn't matter. It's a long story, but I

56:01

go to sleep at about eight and I typically get up at

56:03

around three and it takes me about a half an hour, an

56:06

hour to fall back asleep sometimes. I'm not the greatest sleeper in

56:08

the world. I wish I was. So

56:11

I get up at three and I was just really dehydrated.

56:13

I had a long day and I really didn't drink enough

56:15

water and it was a little hot yesterday in Florida if

56:17

you're down here in South Florida. I

56:19

was really dehydrated. So I got up and I walked

56:21

into the kitchen and then again, I'm by

56:23

myself in the house and

56:26

I went to go get some water. So I'm up. About

56:29

10 or 15 minutes had passed and I

56:32

was having such a tough time falling back asleep.

56:35

I propped up a pillow behind me in the

56:38

bed. So I had two pillows and I was

56:40

just breathing. Just

56:42

taking some deep breaths. It helps me relax that

56:44

box breathing thing and helps me relax and go

56:46

back to sleep. And

56:49

it was weird because I had these two pillows. So

56:51

I turned to my side, but my head was still

56:55

angled up because I had these two pillows underneath me

56:57

and I turned onto my right shoulder and

56:59

I was just sitting there breathing. And I remember because I

57:01

was trying to avoid the pillow

57:03

from blocking my nostrils as I was breathing because I'd

57:06

kind of buried my head in the pillow and

57:08

I was just sucking

57:10

in that oxygen. And

57:13

it's three o'clock, I think it was 3.03 to be

57:15

exact because I looked at, we have one of those

57:18

digital thermostats and it said 3.03 as

57:20

I passed by it. And

57:24

I felt someone grab me. No

57:28

folks, I don't mean like grab me. I

57:30

mean, I felt someone physically grab me. I

57:32

jumped. I

57:35

felt someone actually grab me like I

57:38

can embrace. And

57:40

the weirdest things went through my head.

57:42

I thought, did Paula come back home last

57:44

night and not tell me, is she playing a game

57:46

with me? Paula doesn't, she's not, she

57:49

doesn't do practical jokes. I

57:52

felt someone grab me.

57:54

I'm not crazy. I'm not

57:56

delusional. I was not in some fugue state.

57:59

I was not dating. dreaming, I

58:01

was not night dreaming, I was not sleepwalking.

58:05

I felt someone grab me. Now keep in mind,

58:07

in case you're thinking, oh, this is some kind

58:09

of thing because of the grief your mom, I

58:11

don't know my mom's dead. My

58:14

phone is on do not disturb. I

58:16

don't keep it in front of me. I keep it

58:18

in the bathroom charging because I don't like the Wi-Fi

58:20

thing near my head. So

58:24

I'm walking around the house, I'm looking for

58:26

my gun. Someone grabbed me. This

58:30

has never happened to me before. So

58:36

I'm walking around my house and I'm thinking, maybe

58:38

my daughter came back from college and

58:41

didn't tell me and she

58:43

wanted to say something and but I was up.

58:45

I didn't see any, I heard that my door

58:47

didn't open to the bedroom and I have a

58:50

slider door, a second door. The

58:52

slider didn't open. I'm thinking who's in my room?

58:54

I'm looking under the bed. So

58:59

I'm in like a cold sweat because this never happened

59:02

to me before and listen, I'm not the antsy type.

59:04

I'm not trying to play

59:06

Captain Bravery with you but I don't really startle

59:08

easy but someone's in my house.

59:11

So I go to my phone because

59:13

I'm looking to

59:16

see if Paul is here. Maybe she sent me

59:18

a text, I'm home and I pick up my phone and

59:20

I had gotten a text. It's now, I don't know, 3 or 5 in

59:22

the morning or whatever. And

59:26

I had gotten a text from this lady who lives in the same

59:28

building with my mom where they

59:34

found her at the bottom of the stairs struggling

59:36

to save her own life. So I'm looking at

59:40

her struggling to save her own

59:42

life. And the text

59:44

says, Dan, I'm sorry

59:47

to bother you at

59:51

this time of night but

59:54

I need you to call me as soon as you see this. So

59:58

I knew my mom was dead. No

1:00:01

one ever texts me at that time and I know it's

1:00:03

my mom. 2.49 a.m. I'll

1:00:08

never look at 2.49 a.m. again the same way. Luckily,

1:00:10

I'm not up much at that time. But

1:00:16

apparently my mother was pronounced dead right around

1:00:18

3 o'clock in the morning. At

1:00:23

the same time, I felt someone grab me. Folks,

1:00:28

I'm not crazy. I'm

1:00:32

telling you I'm not crazy. I

1:00:37

don't smoke dope. I don't do drugs.

1:00:42

I'm not crazy. I

1:00:44

was not drinking. I

1:00:48

felt someone grab me at the... right

1:00:51

in that exact time my mom

1:00:53

died. It's

1:01:01

the weirdest thing. And I'm

1:01:03

starting to put two and two together. I'm

1:01:07

convinced God gave me this

1:01:09

microphone for a reason. And

1:01:13

one of them is to use it. To

1:01:17

use it for very specific things. Something

1:01:21

else happened with my mother. Listen,

1:01:25

I'm not going to spin your wheels

1:01:27

because we're a big family here. I

1:01:30

love you guys. We

1:01:32

spent a lot of time together. I did not have the greatest

1:01:34

relationship with my mom. It's

1:01:38

a story at this point. I'll

1:01:41

keep the rest to myself. I think you all

1:01:43

understand. I've shared some

1:01:45

of it in the past. But

1:01:48

we tried, the both of us. My

1:01:51

mom, she's the only one on this

1:01:54

planet we call Earth that calls me Danny.

1:01:56

No one calls me Danny. Except my mom.

1:01:59

No one calls me Danny. now because you ain't

1:02:01

here but I

1:02:04

called her last week on speaker in front

1:02:07

of Paula which I typically don't do and it

1:02:10

was for an it was for an interesting

1:02:12

reason that but I wanted to see something

1:02:14

if my mom was gonna complain to me

1:02:16

about something on the phone it's a strange

1:02:18

story but it's neither

1:02:21

here nor there but she didn't my

1:02:23

mom never complained to me on the phone no matter how

1:02:25

bad things got for her she had a lot of issues

1:02:29

she just didn't complain she said I'm alright

1:02:31

Danny but Paula

1:02:33

used to hear me talk to her once in a while

1:02:35

and she'd hear me hang up and if you ever talked

1:02:37

to me on the phone you know I abruptly hang up

1:02:39

all the time Jim do I not isn't it uncomfortably weird

1:02:42

I'm not good with goodbyes so Paula would always say

1:02:44

when your mom says I love you Danny why don't

1:02:47

you say I love you and I said that's

1:02:49

a long story I'll tell you sometime not

1:02:53

proud of that but

1:02:55

I'm being straight with you but

1:02:57

I spoke to her a week ago and it

1:03:00

was strange Paula was right there and she

1:03:02

said love you Danny and I said I love you too mom it's

1:03:16

the strangest thing it's

1:03:18

like Jesus

1:03:21

wanted me wanted to

1:03:23

close that book and

1:03:28

wanted those to be the last words

1:03:34

I can't even Paula looked at me she said you know

1:03:36

that why'd you say that not

1:03:38

why did you say that like it was bad but she

1:03:41

gave me the we talked

1:03:43

about it this morning and she said

1:03:45

the same thing she's like remember that

1:03:47

conversation I said I do she's

1:03:51

like that was there was some inspiration

1:03:53

there there's some spiritual world out there

1:03:55

we don't understand folks

1:03:59

there's something bigger than us, I'm so sure of it.

1:04:02

And I woke up this morning, never so sure, that

1:04:04

there's something out there we don't understand. So

1:04:09

I wanted to get that out of the way,

1:04:11

because I'm gonna try to just do a regular

1:04:13

show, because life goes on and we've all suffered

1:04:15

loss. I may need to take a

1:04:17

day or two, but the world's

1:04:20

a tough place full of suffering. But

1:04:24

life goes on, for all

1:04:26

of us.
