GΓΌnstig ohne App, by Aldi, there is a prize for all.

This week, the big Bauer Fruchtjogort, 250 grams, for 39 cents.

Or a geroll Steiner Mineral Wasser, 1,5 liters, for only 79 cents. And Dekke weitere Angebote in deinem Aldi Nord. Aldi, good is for all. Practical, supposedly, hard-nosed business man was being really dumb to do this.

β€œWhat do you think the intelligence community would do if they were money?”

I don't know, but I, from what I am told, they are very upset with how he has treated them and talked about them. That should be children who ever you are. I would have invited, especially, something else about the pandemic ever, ever vaccinations. Step outside ourselves, look at other views. The African-American experience has included things like the Tuskegee experiment.

And so there was reluctance to get these vaccine. There was a distrust of the government.

And distrust of the government is healthy.

Our, it's our country, this experiment of ours, has been founded on skepticism of the government. And you listen to that, wait a minute, a government agency, that's on how this works. We do not fear government agencies. That should have been chilling and it was very illustrative. And you look at what's happening now and around.

You look at what President Trump seems to have decided would indeed be easy, easy, er, was persuaded. Well, you wonder who was who gave them that information. Just like you may wonder about George W. Bush and these big and Iraq and the WMD. You say, who's giving them the information?

How much of it is just, well, you want to tell people what they want to hear. There's a lot of that that happens in government.

Of course, in any organization.

So you work for, I don't know, a radio show. And let's say the hosts are not very good. Did they make mistakes? They've mispoken. They've gotten a line wrong.

They mispronounced basic words. They scrub breaks and they get cut off at the end. And they they call things the wrong name or they get facts wrong. Well, there's some times, there certainly was not the case with the Rush Limbo show, because Rush wanted to be accurate all the time.

But you wouldn't say it if you get slapped down. You want to be a good team player, or think about it in a baseball or hockey game.

β€œThat's why they fire the coach, they can't fire the team.”

So the team has a culture of its own that continues, that carries forward. And I would like to see us recognize that kind of thing. And one of the things though that comes from that radio experience is the audience is so important to me. So even though I could keep talking, I've plenty here to share with you.

I want to touch on some of these callers that were kind of up to wait. We're going to start with Spencer in Texas. And if I was allowed to play my own bumper music, I would be playing the theme from Spencer for higher, because hey, I live back in the 80s, often it's the 1880s. But I want to welcome Spencer, give me a quick reminiscent here about WMAL in DC,

our blowtorch affiliate in the 1960s, because radio stories are great. Peel it back for Spencer. And thank you so much for waiting all that time. It's very simple. We move to upper and lower overall. My dad was at the Andrews, and it was a new house, and they had an intercom, which is a

big deal. And my mom had that plane, pardon me, we were the remodeling she woke me up to that while I had the intercom.

β€œI remember listening to them, they do their flying voices, and it was, they were a staple”

for many, many years, and what brought this home was a woman who came on and said, I was listening in 1976, and I was thinking, well, I got to meet. Well, Spencer, you're down in Texas down. I don't want to cut you short, but your connections are a little bit rough there for us to hear with some pops.

But I didn't want to leave you. You waited so long on the Chris Plancho, so I do appreciate you calling and sharing that. Radio is such an intimate medium, and I know that nowadays people think, well, there's podcasts. Oh, well, there's YouTube.

There's scrolling through other social media apps like Instagram. But if this is done well, this thing that we are doing now, and I have to praise Chris Platt here. I'm not just because I'm guest hosting for him, but because he said, I'm going to focus on the radio.

I don't need to be on TV. There's so many people who, just are pursuing their careers, and they just want, rush called them Fox News Conservatives, and they just want the book deal, they want the consulting gig, they want the fame, and it didn't condemn anybody for that. That's fine.

But if you care about the ideas, we care about the medium of radio. If you want to make connections, here's Spencer talking about something in the 1960s, and

Thank you again for the call, Spencer, thank your mother, for putting that th...

intersections. I remember even in the 70s, those were a big deal, so it was 60s, even bigger. That's the connection that I want to make with all of you today.

β€œAnd that's why, hey, I could sit here, plug a bunch of my stuff.”

I could watch this. I'm going to slip it in. Watch this. Pretend you don't notice. I could, I could mention the history author.com, history author.com, no, the, which is where

I do the history author show. I could mention at history down on Twitter, where I'm happy to say many of you are following me. I could plug the New York Sun, Emily Sun.com. See, I have as much stuff to plug as anyone else.

I even wrote a Greek cookbook with my wife, so I have plenty of stuff.

But Russia always taught us not to look at people as customers, and I recall it that too.

Paul Simon has this great line that I like to quote that he says, "I don't believe what I read in the papers. They're just trying to capture my dime." And that's stuck in my head so much because that's not what this is supposed to be about, commanding you to buy.

People talking over you, people demanding that you do what they say. I would like to have a conversation with you, which is why I take your calls. And if you disagree with me, I would have be happy to take your calls. And maybe some of you do. We have Diego here, Diego wants to make another line about the pandemic.

No matter how much I try to get away from the pandemic and Dr. Fauci Diego, you keep pulling me back in. So tell us what you're seeing there, enjoy little annoying. And by the way, I'll have you know, I had a Blues Brothers clip already to play because Joy-let, of course, you have that great old prison where the Blues Brothers was shot and I was

going to play a clip from that, but I decided not to, so you are fulfilling a dream for me to be able to mention the Blues Brothers. So give it to us, Diego.

Nice nice day on Legendary here.

I'm back to the Fauci thing. To me, it's kind of wild to hear all these people speak as if they knew all this was going to happen. The mindset is 2020, come on, the COVID pandemic, it was unprecedented and no one really knew what to do.

Nope, not the president, none of the politicians. The same people crying today for being forced to wear a mask, which I guess apparently ruined all their lives. The same people would be crying if nothing was done and a ton of more people would have died. Imagine if we would have just listened to Trump and his, let's just wait and see and it

β€œwill magically go away, Terry, what would have happened then?”

Well, I think it stick with me, Diego, because I'm not going to drop you. I want you to come back. I think, and I mentioned my medical background, I don't know if you heard that, but there is that period where you try everything and you don't act like you knew everything. And I think that was part of the case here.

And again, as with the intelligence committee, I'm sure the president was getting some messaging that said, oh, it's going to be okay, maybe just burn itself out, eventually natural immunity.

And I think the problem is we don't have that good faith, and we did have pandemics

before. And this was fortunately, nothing like the Spanish flu influenza that they don't like to call Spanish flu anymore, because it didn't start in Spain. But guess what? Spain were the only ones honest enough, because they weren't in the Great War or World War

one to say, hey, we have this really deadly flu. So because the news was all out of Spain and all the belligerents were covering it up, they associated it with Spain. But we knew what happened there. You'd have people coming home healthy and dropping dead in the streets, my hometown of

Crescone, New Jersey, the second town I lived in. I grew up in Bergenfield first, but that's where the big base was where they trained all the soldiers. Harry Truman was trained there, and people would die in the streets. It was horrible, soldiers on their way over to Europe are coming back from Europe.

It was terrible. So I think that's part of the thing. And I think that's the thing with Fauci, where he came out and he just said whatever he thought was true. And then he told the president things and he talks about that, the diary, and the president

said things. And the president, that's the blue's brother's stuff I was going to play as a matter of fact, Diego. It's the sign that time when he picks up does Elwood, his brother Jake, John Belushi, playing him, Dan Aquarius, his brother.

At that, you'll enjoy it, prison. And he says we're getting the band back together, right? Because Jake's had a prison, he's all excited. And Elwood has to explain the guys moved on. They took some of them, took straight jobs.

And Jake is mad at him. He says, you lied to me. My own brother, you lied to me while I was in prison. And Elwood says to him, what was I going to do? Take away your only hope.

β€œThat's the only thing that kept you going inside.”

And he says, I didn't lie to you. I just BSed you. I took the liberty. BSing you. Wasn't a lie.

It was BS. And that strikes me so much when I hear somebody like President Trump, somebody like President Clinton. Those are the guys who come in when you're God forbid in the hospital, Diego, and they tell you, you're fine.

Don't worry about it. These doctors don't know anything. I know the best doctors in the business. They're going to be playing 18 holes a golf in two weeks. And you may know they're lying, and they may know they're lying.

But they're BSing you for your good. Now the line there in the pandemic, maybe you didn't know. Maybe you really didn't think that with the president. And maybe Fauci really didn't think it. But there wasn't that idea of we're going to be completely transparent and admit what we

don't know. We're going to throw a lot of things at the wall.

Doesn't work when people are really, really scared.

We had things like the vaccine.

I used to say this before the pandemic, because my science background, a million TV shows

we've all seen. We need to vaccine to cure this board virus or whatever the heck it is on a side five show. That's not how vaccines work. Vaccines don't cure you.

They prevent the disease. And we've made some antiviral adjustments in the future. I'm sorry. Since then, since we used to say that kind of thing, sure, there's some things. But ultimately, it's your body that has to save you.

Now, you need somebody who can express that though to people who are afraid. And Diego, your ears, among with the ears of everybody else out there, probably glossed over a little bit. Because he and that's not that exciting. What you're saying?

That's cool. The science stuff.

I'd want someone I can trust.

And people trusted Fauci, and that went a long way to him being able to push that. And the thing with the masks, as you said, to be, it became a political issue.

β€œI know that's what you told our screen you wanted to talk about.”

And it's too bad. As I said, I didn't care because I work many years in a mask. But I also understood that sometimes it's counterproductive. People use them wrong. They touch the face.

As Fauci said, he chose to lie about that for a greater good, a noble lie as they call it. That's the spin. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Do you think if they'd come to people and said, look, there's other things you can do.

A mask is not full proof. You can't wear the same one all the time. You can't have it down under the chin. What would you have done? Go you're there, you're in the room with the president, Dr. Fauci, and you're saying,

you're saying to them, what do you want them to say to people that you think would have been persuasive? Nothing that there's a right or wrong answer about. How would you have persuaded people? Well, I would have used a common sense scenario.

For example, no one knew exactly what was going on. And I would just put the whole better be safe and sorry, Jerry, as opposed to let's just

β€œit'll magically disappear, because what do you think would have happened if nothing was done?”

If we would have we would have followed that lead. Where we see, well, we don't have to wonder. Could we see it in Sweden? We see it in Sweden. We do see it in Sweden.

Sweden was a country that decided to keep schools open and they didn't do all lockdown. They were alone in the world and it didn't much change it. But we didn't know that at the time. So I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just saying we look at it in retrospect, because the goal should be, and I really

apologize to everybody out there says, "Sick of the top because I am." We really, but we do need to talk about it to look forward to the next pandemic and what we do. But everything isn't equal, as you're saying. For instance, in the pandemic that I mentioned, the influenza pandemic after World War

War 1, children were very, very susceptible. Now you look at the data later, and now you say, well, fortunately children weren't susceptible in this pandemic. We did God forbid, we would have had what they had with their whole families wiped out. One sergeant came home from Europe and his wife, and I think five daughters, and there's

definitely an example like that, even if it's not the one I'm thinking of, they all died. People are afraid of those things, and you can't disabuse them of that fear, and people say, well, we should have kept the schools open as if it's so easy. Well, you do have teachers and staff in the schools, and they were fearful, even if the children did turn out, thank God, to be healthy children I'm talking.

So I think that's the toughest part of this is you come to people, there's this great phrase that Martin Luther King uses, and a very obscure speech, not the ones that people like to, wasn't even really a speech, but not one of the ones people like to just quote his gotchas all the time. But he talks about sitting on a plane next to a white man, as he describes him, and he

just says to him, as out of nowhere, the problem with your people is Dr. King, and he said,

he got a love people always willing to tell you what the problem is.

β€œBut he says, I tried to speak to him in understanding terms, and that's what”

I think here, that's the thing with telling people and lecturing them, and it's not going to work. I've seen it with animals. You bring in a cat or a dog, and you say for a cat, because this cat's overweight, you cats obese.

It has two pounds, this cat needs to lose, and the people laugh at you. Oh, just two pounds? Well, the cat's ideal body weight is 10 pounds, so if you're carrying an extra two, that's 20% overweight, you're going to have problems. But it's hard, and the people, in theory, are in charge of the animals, and try to make

them die. I'm saying about trying to control people, it's literally hurting cats. So I would have liked that at the time. I would like to look. We're trying everything.

We don't know what you're saying, what you call common sense there, Diego, in Joyland. You call it what it is, you say we don't know yet, but look, if you want to wear a mask, go ahead and wear a mask. If you do, though, do this and that, that would be the way that it would be great to go about it.

Thank you so much to both the colors this hour. I appreciate you guys calling. I'll be back. I'm Sarah Ana, see you on the Chris Pledgeau, and my ex is blowing up. Thank you for following me at his 3D.

Scrolling with Hayland, I am Hayley Carania.

I scrolled with the homies here in the live chat, because there was a lot to ...

on ex on Instagram on TikTok or cutting through the clutter.

One hot take at a time.

β€œLove seeing you all in the chat before the show.”

I tried to jump in just a few minutes before and say hello. I love the chat interaction. Thank you for helping. But I do it to get all of the videos and all of the content that you won't find anywhere else.

Scrolling with Hayley. Just search that up, and I will be there. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Well, we're back again, and I'm ignoring the pre-priced bumper music, because I'm not

going to make a mistake again, so I'm still going on.

That's a bit I'm carrying through the show. I'm going to go to a color here. This is a color Dan and rest in Virginia, because Dan held out for such a long time and then he called back.

β€œSo he must really want to talk to me from rest in, named after the initials of its founder,”

Robert Edwards Simon, combined RES with the suffix ton. So rest in Virginia, thanks so much for joining me from your town of rest in Virginia. Thanks for taking my call. Thanks for waiting so long. When the whole COVID thing hit, you know, and I started out my career as a clinical pharmacist

and I worked as a clinical study monitor for some large pharmaceutical companies.

And what we were always taught was that whether it was a new drug or was it vaccine, never

went into a high human and until it was tested in mice and rats and monkeys, and then maybe then after many years a clinical trial would happen, you know, of the healthy volunteers. So what I saw and I was very disappointed in my fellow healthcare workers is that became COVID became very political, right, and it was like the same people that received the same education that I did were suddenly willing to jump on board with a let's use this

vaccine and there was no proof. And so if you questioned that, then you were villainized and you were threatened to lose your license. And so, unfortunately, a lot of really smart healthcare people, they jumped on board with the lack of evidence just because it probably followed their politics and we have

β€œseen that since, in the case of, you know, transgender surgeries or it's like, where's the evidence?”

I mean, it's like, you know, in the skepticism, it's not going to do anything because he has a pardon. And so why would he say anything? And the skepticism, the skepticism, Dan, and I came up, maybe I have the radio power, I can judge a person's age by hearing them so I'm going to judge you as 54, but I could

be way over. You could be 34. But anyway, but when I came up, the skepticism was the key, wasn't a bad thing. And what you're saying to me is sparking something I hadn't really thought about before. And that is, because you squelched all voices and we can't blame people, yes, they didn't

speak up. I understand some of them were cowards, but some of them, hey, you worked hard for that degree. You don't want to be punished, but you don't want to be, you want to be exiled and lose your license and have your peers not want to speak to you and you're not sure. And that's what bugs me is.

It's not that people were saying, I know what they were saying, maybe we should ask about this part of it. And even that was shut down, which drove me nuts, that's not how science works. And what did that do? That opened the vacuum for people who don't know the people who just cared about making

loud noises, the people who just cared about getting some clicks to fill the void that should have been filled by legitimate scientific debate. Thanks so much, Dan, and rest in for holding on all that time and I appreciate your insights. I'm with you, man. Let's question everything.

A little sister's sledge is what I'm thinking. We are family, that's not the bumper music, but that's the song I have in my head, because I'm going to bring up Soundre here in Hurley, Namesco, a town of just 1,200 people. So you've got to be going there to get there. They call it the Brindley town for some reason.

I'm going to cute Nickname, Soundre, thank you so much for holding on to talk on the Chris Plant Show. This is your big, showbiz break, hit it. Okay, that sounds good, thank you for taking the call. So, thanks for calling.

We in America have been now hit with the American Marxist and Communist and a take over of our country, our land, our people, everything else. And their biggest target was the family unit. And we as Americans are very busy, including myself, looking at all the destruction all over

The place, even the virus and the death from the vaccine and everything else.

And our families are following a part.

We're standing alone in most cases, which is exactly what they wanted us to pick a soft easier. And I say, we've overlooked it so much, the family unit and the destruction of the family unit. And we could get a lot anymore, we couldn't get a lot anymore.

And you know what? And this has been by design, and I know that people say, oh, well, come on, you look at the targeting of the family unit, look at even things like, well, the things that sound good like this school lunch program.

β€œWell, not even an acknowledgement of the fact that, well, it's pretty important to feed.”

Look at the little baby birds, right? If you start feeding a baby bird instead of its mother throwing up in its mouth, if you, sorry, everybody, that's the veteran. If you start doing the chewing in this bedding for the baby bird, the baby bird is going to come to you instead of its mother.

And then it won't learn all the little baby bird things. And this was one of the things that I and Rand wrote about, one of those 250 page long monologues that you liked that character's given, what was ostensibly a novel, but she was so right, she compared young people, children, two birds in a nest. And a bird has wings, and for a human being, it is our minds.

And we, and they are trained by the mother birds. But the government steps in and says, we'll take the place. And then they shove you out of the nest, unable to think in the case of a human, or with your wings mangled in the case of a bird. And it has been by design, the challenge is to explain that to people in that more global

perspective that you talked about there, Sandra, and say, this is not by mistake. And some of the people, you want to say they're willing, doops, which is where Bernie Sanders used to identify himself. That's fine. But the point is, that's the core goal is because, and this was written by, you have the founders

of Marxism. Here's Marx, a lazy lazy guy, go right back and read the letters. Karl Marx's father wrote to him about how lazy he was, wouldn't work. Wouldn't bathe. Was that, was just a filthy bum all the time, drunken, and he wrote this whole hateful

screen of how he was going to take from everybody. And somehow, unfortunately, became this poisonous ideology, because they wanted to destroy

the family unit, because the family unit, as they spoke about in the first hour with all

of you here, it's something that gives you independence. If you don't have to go to the government, if you can go to your family, if you prioritize family, you don't need the government. You could do what you want.

β€œBut once they have you, little baby bird, you have to depend on them for everything.”

Now, I understand, from personal experience, a lot of us have lousy families. A lot of us have families that don't care about us. A lot of us have families where there's been a crime or a criminal that's been welcomed into the family, where there's been drugs that's welcomed into. There's some horrible, I don't know, Satan to worship her, whether they know what

or not brought in any family. And you say, my spirit recoils at that. I can't be with them. Are they a ban in you? I'm not saying that that's easy, and I'm sorry, I even have to say this.

But the goal should be strengthening it wherever we can, not deifying the vision of it. And if you look at it, as with the other things, you say, what is the overall arching sin use that ties all of this together, the damaging of the family? The something like a program for children that takes them out of their hands of parents. They talk about universal child care, and they'll tell you when you get down on the weeds,

they want to get a hold of your children as soon as they can. It's start, well, they say teaching, but how much are they really being taught? Look at what students know. There's a poll the other day from the Cato Institute about how shocking a low percentage

of generation Z even can name the first president of the United States.

So they're not being taught knowledge. I don't think anyone would argue that they're smarter than ever today, but they certainly know a lot of other things. They certainly know to be good little apparatus of the state. They certainly know, as our last caller was saying, Dan, they certainly know not to question

the state. The state gives you the line and you read it. It's turning us into a place like North Korea. And we don't want to be like North Korea where we deify the government. We deify the head of state where we say, oh, Kim Kim Il-Sung is the eternal leader of

the country. We don't want that in the United States or America. We want rugged individualisms and people who individuals. We want rugged individuals. We want people who are independent.

We want people who say, I don't want the government to be spinning. It's regurgitated food into my mouth because I know it comes in a price. I know I should stop saying that my wife right now. Love you honey. I know you're yalling at me to stop talking about vomiting baby birds, but it'll stick in

your mind. Well, not everybody.

β€œThat's what the government wants to do to you and it's real close to the exact stuff”

that you just go to you. I'm talking to all of us out there, all of you and Chris plants audience.

That's what it is.

It's saying, hey, depend on something else.

Family is not important. So I definitely wanted to take Saunders call on that. Saunders, I'll give you one last word. You're still there with us. You held out for so long.

Give me a last word there. Well, I agree with all that you said. And I appreciate you the way you think about these things. And I appreciate Chris plant and the people that are trying to communicate to the rest of all of us in the country to keep our heads above water and not drowned and die.

Okay? Well, strong way to put it. I certainly. If you're drowning out there, Saunders, anyone else is, I don't gosh, if this is just your last minute, you're sitting there maybe thinking you have nowhere to go, we're here

to throw a life raft to you. What are those little circular things? Why am I forgetting what it's called? Life preserve. Toss it to you and say yes, we need everybody.

β€œAnd I think that's that's so much of what is as expanded here with what Pope John Paul”

the second called the culture of death.

You look at, I think it's the fifth leadist. I know, in fact, it's the fifth lead in cause of death now in Canada is this, oh, Qt little name, medically assisted suicide. It's killing people. It's encouraging people to end their lives at saying, you're just cattle.

This is something that at the end of the great dictate of the first time that audience has ever heard Charlie Chaplin speech was that magnificent speech he gives at the end of the great dictator and he's extorting people and he's doing it from a position of a man on the left because those used to be the universal ideals of liberty and he's saying, don't give yourselves over to machine men with machine hearts and machine minds who treat you like

cattle abuse your waste your lives, you're not cattle, you are men and your women out there too. And you say, hey, you deserve better than this, you are something special. You don't like being said that you're an image of God. Well, even if you don't believe, that's a pretty sweet thing.

A little door, a little opening there to say, we have more and the family is where you learn those things and allowing people to leave their families encouraging them to leave and encouraging them to pursue other things without that being paramount has been very, very dangerous and very damaging to our society and that's a goal of socialism. And when you hear, I mentioned I have a bunch of sound bites here, you hear some people talk

about it and the idea is that they have, I don't have enough time because so many of you were so generous with your time calling into me, but you hear them again and again talk about what? Not about improving the country, not about improving families, that may come in passing. You hear them saying, they want to get rid of Donald Trump, stop Donald Trump, they want

power, Donald Trump, Donald Trump, this was something Bill Clinton did in 1992, stopped calling President George A.W. Bush president, bring him down to your level. No respect, now the lecture of speaking of norms, I said earlier that the only norm I ever cared about was the one sitting on a bar stool in cheers. That was the norm and then, oh, it was great that they got rid of that, that they stopped

β€œrespecting the president, funny how those things get shifted, but that's what they decided”

to do, they decided that we will just bring them down our level, tear down things. That's all they talk about, is their own power and say what you will about the Democratic Socialists of America, I certainly have, I think it's poison, it's dangerous, look at Venezuela, look at Cuba, look at Argentina, way back, one, I think it was the 10th wealthiest country of the world destroyed it, then as well as sits on an ocean of oil destroyed.

Socialism is just the installment plan, that is the little bit of seed to give a bird that makes them start eating and then you give them more and more and more and then maybe you poison because you got them coming, you know, they do bear baiting, they go out there and they put out food for bears and try to bring in the bears and then they shoot

the bear, that is the seduction and it has failed everywhere to try because it leads always

to the same place, more power, more taking money, look at Zora Mamdani in New York City, what's he doing now, consolidating power, now he's outing people, he doesn't stay in Uganda, whereby the way I mentioned when I was hosting for Derek Hunter on WMAL last time, 190,000 people holding slavery, Zora Mamdani does nothing about it, hates Airbnb's in New York City, targeting second homes in New York City, but he has a mansion there on

five acres, that's fine, he rents it out as an Airbnb, the hypocrisy, the not living

β€œby your own standards, this is what I think we need to try home, take away this idea that”

it is a caring, loving belief system, it is not a caring, loving belief system, we need to encourage people to be self-sufficient and that is a big, big huge job, you can't just throw people out and say, okay, now you're self-sufficient, it's tough, it's not an easy thing, and it's not something you can accomplish without some compassion, but if you know

How to listen to things, if you know I was very complimentary right there by ...

you know how to look at things a little bit different, try to persuade people, you could say, this is why it's best for you, and speaking of her point about the family unit, that was traditionally a role of fathers, your father would come in and say, well, you son, you have to go get that job, and your mother would let you in the back door, because you didn't want to go get a job, you want to play with your friends all summer, and then

your father would kick out again, I have a friend, he produced an Oscar-winning film, not so many years ago, guy from high school, and he said, I so vividly remember he said, I

was sitting there, because I asked him, I had to get into filmmaking, you were never

a filmmaker in high school, and he said, well, I was sitting there one day, I just been sitting watching TV a lot, prices right, whatever, and my father came and he kicked me in the butt, and he said, you got to get a job, get out there to sign what you're going to be and do, and it said, it wasn't a hard thing, you're anything that even bruised me, but it was the shake up, and we all need that shake up, and yes, I know, it doesn't

β€œmean the mother can't do that, but you know, life is pretty hard, there's a song by Johnny”

Cash, it's called Mr. Garfield, and it's about the assassination of James A Garfield, and James A Garfield, unfortunately it was about the old Westy, got shot, he was a lingered for 11 weeks, it was terrible tragedy for the country, but there's a line where Johnny Cash

sings that Garfield tells his wife Lucrecia, he called her Crete, as was the nickname

back then, don't pull a single harness all your life, after a while, get yourself a good man, you're going to have children that you need to raise, and she doesn't want to hear that, but in the song, he tells her that, because it's important, and he says this great line, don't pull in single harness all your life, so pick to yourself, old timey wagon, and you have two horses, it's easier, life is hard, you need somebody who can do the things

you can't or will help you when you're sick, family is what's going to do that, and I encourage people all the time when I talk about politics, the people that maybe you think you elect for an elective office, and as one reason why President Trump and why President Clinton as it happens, people felt, oh, they care about me, they would help me out, they wouldn't blow me off, and I've got to say Bill Clinton right there seeing Rush one time in a restaurant

came over sat down and said, hey, are you doing there, limbo, look a pretty good drop some weight, didn't have to do that, that was one of the craziest memories of the time, Rush comes in the office, sits on my desk and says, I gotta tell you what happened last

β€œnight, it was so insane, that's important to people, and it's not enough to have the”

facts on your side, it's not enough to lecture people, and it's not enough to be right, which we know freedom is right, people want you to care, and they'll forgive a lot of they think that you care about them, and socialist matters to convince people, we care,

they don't care, they're never going to care about you as much as, oh, I know we're not

supposed to see us in Harriet go way back, people kids today probably didn't even know Martian, Mike Brady, we mock that, that's part of what Sandra was talking about, we mock the family, that was silly, that's impossible, that didn't exist, the Brady didn't have enough bathrooms for all those kids, which was true, Mike what were you thinking, one bathroom, but they love them, nobody that you vote for is going to love you as much,

you have a friend who voted for Barack Obama, if they're a friend, they come and shovel your driveway when you throw your back out, you're not going to call whoever your favorite pundit is, unless it's Chris Plank, Chris Plank probably help you out, but they're not going to help you, they're not going to do it, that's not their business, that's the other phrase Charlie Chaplin uses in that speech, so I could play you all these bites that

β€œI have here, oh boy, have a nice stack of them, but the important thing is just, you”

all look at the things differently, realize what the end game is, try to speak to people as Dr. King said of that man in understanding terms, when he says the problem with your people, Dr. King is you don't lift yourselves up by your boot drops, Monday the King says I tried to speak to him in understanding terms, love that phrase and says I explained that it's hard when someone's standing on your boot straps, that's all we're asking,

it's to have those removed. Now, this has changed over time, there's certainly things we can criticize, schools unfortunately will only safely teach somebody like Martin Luther King Jr., they don't teach about the greats like George Washington, they, oh everybody is flawed, but that doesn't take away from the wisdom, founded in this Christian faith, that Martin Luther King Jr., so thank you for calling me today, Sandra, and speaking

of me and I'm expanding terms, it's such an honor, it's a pleasure to be here and hearing from Chris's audience, you're a great audience, I'm really enjoying you, hitting your marks everything's going great, I'll be back to you, say goodbye, three hours already gone after this break, what three hours already got? That doesn't seem possible, but you all have

Made it so easy to me, thank you so much Michael for producing today, Jasmine...

all those great calls, those are really good callers, and I could tell you, in those years of the EIB network, we had a, oh, I could confess to you now, a little bit of a love

hate, you wanted to rush, right? All of you probably did do, rush was always so kind

with callers, sometimes suspending our good friend, James Golden, the famous Boe Snurley, the last of the Snurley standing, we had a lot of fun, by the way, I go on his show every now and then, and enjoy talking to him, we really were a great family, but rush knew that all of you out there in the audience and the caller universe were the important ones. So thank you for listening to me today, I do appreciate it, I don't take it for granted,

I'm not here to plug my own things, I hope you will seek me out, just because I like to

β€œhear from people, that's why I took these calls today, even though I had a lot of stuff”

prepared to say, and although sound bites, I spent the weekend cutting, but it was more important for me to hear all of your voices, I felt that that's the job I have, that would honor how Chris does this thing of ours, Josh Hawley has just scorched Doctor Fauci who I can't stop talking about because he's in the news, you do not have any rights under the fifth amendment, Hawley said, you have been pardoned, as you very well know, boy, that sounds

exactly what I said, and here he quotes Brown versus Walker from 1896, which is the case that I cited that quote, when he has been pardoned, he may not stand upon his privilege on quote, 1896, what a great year, that's the year we got William McKinley elected president of the United States, the funk fortune enough to come back with all of you again, I will talk more about McKinley, and the meantime, yes, you can keep it touch on me, add history

dean on Twitter, and you can also listen to me on the history author show, that's something

β€œI don't do as much as I used to, but I have, I think, 260 interviews on there with”

people, and I always had there as my model Brian Lam, I try to keep things mellow and

keep politics out of it because history, I want to follow the truth here I talk about my political beliefs and whatnot, there I just want the good history, one of my favorite books is written by President Trump's one of his co-authors, a gentleman named Charles Larson, Ty Cobb, a terrible beauty, if you believe all these myths about Ty Cobb being a horrible racist, here's a guy who, he does it vote for President Trump, does it support about to that, but he's

a journalist in the old school and he went in and incredible things in that book, and I do not get anything for promoting him here, I just love it as an example of journalism, go back

β€œto the primary sources, learn things like there was this biographer, Al Stump who put out”

all these lies about Ty Cobb, wrote his own book, all you supposed to be writing, the poor, dying toward your peaches, autobiography, and then they based that awful Tommy Lee Jones movie on it, if I'm wrong, I like to learn, I don't want to pass on myths, one of the things I do in my New York Sun columns is I go out there and I look up every single quote because I want to make sure it's right, so I hope you'll follow me, keep in touch,

it was such an honor to be here today, thanks again for everyone at the Chris Plant Show for giving me this opportunity to care of yourselves out there Chicago, you're my kind of town, that goes for watching DC 2 as much as we might pick on all of you, and all

little towns, all little resting new Mexico's out there that people may never have heard
