Starting point is 00:01:49 A really good friend to liberty and freedom. Kirk Cameron. Kirk, thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. Dan, how great to be on your show. Thank you for having me on. And you're a hero to so many. And it's just it's way cool to think that you,
Starting point is 00:02:06 you used to watch Growing Faint back in the day. Kirk, I got to tell you, man, I was addicted to the show so much so that we have the Goofy Glue incident from your show has become a thing on our show. That's how often I watch that show. No one can explain the Goofy Glue incident. Do you remember that? The Goofy Glue incident? Because I use
Starting point is 00:02:30 it on my show and we don't know what it is. What was the Goofy Glue incident? You don't want to know. That's why we never talk about it. That's how bad it is? That's how bad it is. I love this guy. No one talked. no one talked about the it's like Fight Club Kirk
Starting point is 00:02:47 in fact those three words should rarely even be uttered goofy glue incident I've said it more now in the last minute than I have in the last 30 years and there's good reason for that I'll have to you sound afraid uh off the
Starting point is 00:03:06 air off the jimmy sounds afraid like okay kirk you got me a little scared we got to follow this up with a personal conversation kirk's the author of a book pride comes before the fall pick it up today wherever you get the books i'm going to talk about wherever you get your books i'm going to talk about that in a segment kirk just before we we get started, you know, I was about, I don't know, 42, 43 before I got any degree of like public notoriety where people would, you know, recognize you kind of out in public and I didn't really hit kind of a, I never got to anywhere near your level. I mean, you were just all over on magazines and all this other stuff. But I have to tell you, even at 40, it gets corrupting
Starting point is 00:03:46 and you have to, you know this better than anyone, you have to constantly tell yourself, like, don't be a jerk, you're a child of God and act like it and do the right thing. You were famous, I mean, super famous at a very early age where I think you'd admit you probably don't have all the tools you'd have in adulthood. How did that impact you? Did you, you know, did you find it as corrupting
Starting point is 00:04:10 as I did? Well, it's interesting. It was the only normal life I had. I didn't have another more normal teenage life to compare it to. So I just had to roll with it. You know, I was so young when I was on growing pains. I was 14. I had barely grown a bicep at that point. And they were putting me in tank tops as sort of like teen hunk centerfold in these magazines like Tiger Beat, right? I mean, I don't even think I had hair on my upper lip yet, but, you know, I was surrounded by some good people and it was it was a good, wholesome show. And interestingly, you talk about child of God. I was an atheist at the time. And so my moral standards weren't something that I downloaded from heaven or anything like that. But when the fame started at such a young age, I thought it was strange.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I thought I didn't really understand it. But then eventually I came to kind of appreciate the fact that we were a bit of an example to families and to young kids who were sort of looking up to us as role models. And I wanted to do right by that. And so I tried to live a life that would, you know, teach kids to say no to drugs and, uh, the just say no campaign back in the eighties. You might remember that. And then eventually I sort of pulled my head out of the sand, uh, of atheism. And I started to look around and thought, you know what? I'm not as smart as I think I am. And, uh, I, I believe that we're all here for a reason
Starting point is 00:05:46 and that this is an incredible design. And I wanted to live my life in a way that said, thank you for all of that. Wow. Kirk, you know, that's just, you're blowing me away. I'm just, I'm so not used to hearing this from people who grew up in the entertainment Hollywood community. It's just so rare. Why aren't there more like you who, who think like that? Well, but what I just told you is not nearly as crazy as the goofy glue incident, but we can't talk about that right now.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Yeah. That's it. I think there, I think there probably are some more here in Hollywood. In fact, I know there are. And I mean Hollywood proper. We've got the entertainment industry, which stretches everywhere now because anybody can pull out a camera and have an Instagram account and you can make a documentary.
Starting point is 00:06:35 But there are people here. I think many of them are understandably afraid to poke their head out from their turtle shell. to poke their head out from their turtle shell. And while some people are coming out of the closet in different ways, we've got conservatives and Christians who are hiding in the closet because they got a target on them. And so they want to keep their head down.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Yeah, I get that, Kirk, but we're talking to Kirk Cameron, author of the new book, Pride Comes Before the Fall. I promise you we're going to get to that, folks. But Kirk, what I don't get is, you know, Jesus told his apostles go forth with nothing, right? They knew they'd be killed. Peter was hung upside down. They were poisoned. They were attacked, stoned, beheaded, basically violently beaten over and over again. You know, and I think to myself, and I think you probably think too, like we've led pretty easy lives.
Starting point is 00:07:28 I mean, if the worst that's going to happen to me and you is that somebody goes, oh, look at these clowny Jesus lover guys, that's nothing. Like you're not going to be hung upside down. No one's going to stone you in public. And that's why, Kirk, when I hear guys like you, it's so refreshing,
Starting point is 00:07:43 but that's why I'm so disappointed in other people with a platform like yours, famous people in Hollywood and sports, who don't come out when the Dodgers celebrate this vile group insulting Christianity and say, you know what? I'm not going to be martyred for this. I'm no hero, but I'm not tolerating this today. I'm not playing today's game. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:04 There should be more of you. Yeah. Well, well, you don't know my dark side, so I don't know how many more of me you want in the world, but Dan, I appreciate you. You're a man of faith and character and courage. I mean, that's an understatement and we're so grateful for you. And listen, I think that there just becomes, there comes a time in every man or every woman's life where you need to reconcile with God about who you are and whose you are and why you're here. And for me, that, that, that really kicked into overdrive when I had kids,
Starting point is 00:08:39 my wife and I have six children. Um, our kids are now grown and because of my understanding of where we're headed culturally, and, you know, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but we've kind of learned over the last few years that the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth is about six months. And if you look at history, what's happening in our country is is is really the beginning stages of a cultural revolution, not unlike what we see with the Chinese communist revolution or the Bolshevik revolution, what we see in Cuba and other authoritarian dictatorships or communist regimes. And my Taiwanese neighbors can tell me that my Jewish neighbors up the street and my Cuban neighbors tell me that they feel like they're watching a bad movie that they've seen before. And they know how it ends. And it's not pretty. That's why they came to America. And they're dumbfounded how Americans can be so blind
Starting point is 00:09:45 to the signs of what's going on. And I understand, we grew up in the 70s and 80s. We had such a beautiful time of peace and freedom. Wasn't it great? It was. It was, so you're growing pains in all these shows. Yeah, I'm sorry, go ahead. That's right.
Starting point is 00:10:03 We never talked about the Goofy Glue incident. We had our jeans and we listened to Prince with our mullet hairstyles. But now we see what's been underway. We've seen that we have not been tending the garden and the weeds are now growing up and the gophers are infiltrating everywhere, the family, the church and civil government. And thank God for guys like you. And when more of us do what you have done, and that is get on the front line, stop being on the defense. Don't sit on the couch and watch your favorite news outlet, putting your face in your hands, crying in your Chick-fil-A soup, waiting for somebody else to rescue you and say, wait a minute, God put me here to do something. And I can't do everything, but I can do my part. And I'm just trying to make the most of this
Starting point is 00:10:57 opportunity to stand for faith and stand for virtue and character. And one way I'm trying to do it is by reading children's books about faith, hope, and love and humility and say down with pride, down with authoritarian government and up with loving God, loving your family and loving your country. Well, this is the perfect time
Starting point is 00:11:21 to transition to the book because your book, we're talking to Kirk Cameron, you know him, famous actor. Kirk has a book out called Pride Comes Before the Fall. Pick it up today wherever you get your books. We got to support this man's work. Kirk, everybody in the library system run by liberals
Starting point is 00:11:36 seems terrified of you reading this book to kids. I've noticed they've been developing special plans about it. It's crazy. Like there's a battle plan to keep you out of libraries from reading this book to kids what are they so afraid of that's in this book yeah well uh this this this reads like a like a just like a crazy story last christmas i wrote a little book called as you grow and i wanted to do a public library story hour. And I was denied by over 50 woke libraries that previously held drag queen story hours. When I confronted them and threatened to
Starting point is 00:12:12 assert my constitutional rights for their viewpoint discrimination in a public library, they reversed course. We went to Indianapolis Public Library and were greeted by over 3,000 parents and children overwhelming six floors of the library, singing songs in between the book aisles and holding their own reading times because they couldn't all fit inside the reading room. So this has happened in Loudoun County. We went to San Francisco. We went to D.C., New York, L.A., Arizona. But now it seems that we've awoken the Balrogs deep within the American Library Association. We had recently just broke the story that the director of the Office of Intellectual Freedom, ironically, is censoring and sabotaging a nationwide event that we have started. It's going to be on August 5th called See You at the Library. It's our take on See You at the Poll, where families would gather at flagpoles of schools to pray.
Starting point is 00:13:16 This is families gathering at public libraries to read a book of virtue for their children. And they have come unglued. for their children. And they have come unglued. And now they're actively teaching librarians how to break the law and either pretend like the library's not open that day or that the library is full of made up events so that there's no room for families who want to show up at their own libraries to read books to their kids. Kirk, I got about a minute left and I got to run, but my experience with this being a tech entrepreneur in specifically the free speech space is every effort they make to put their thumb on your neck and shut you up is only going to magnify your message. I think 3000 people at the in your experience, confirms that, correct?
Starting point is 00:14:06 Yes. And I would encourage everyone to join us. Go to bravebooks.com. You can get my book, Pride Comes Before the Fall, for free. And click on the See You at the Library tab, and we'll show you how to host a brave story hour at your library and send a message to the Balrogs that good wins over evil. Folks, let's do that today, please. I don't ask a lot of favors. I have no economic interest in this at all.
Starting point is 00:14:31 I only have a passion for the cause, and this man is with us. Bravebooks.com. Click on the book, Pride Comes Before the Fall, and find out how to host an event in a town near you. Please, in the name of God, and I'm not using his name in vain. This country's worth saving, and we're the leaders we've been waiting for. Don't wait for someone else to do it. You do it.
Starting point is 00:14:50 You can do it. Kirk, thanks so much for your time. You're welcome back here anytime. I wish we could have connected earlier, but it was so worth it. And really, you have my absolute admiration for standing up when you could have just easily punked out and been like one of these other guys and said all the talking points you didn't, you stood up in the name of God and faith in this country. And I know my listeners respect you for it. So thanks a lot.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Well, I appreciate you. Thank you so much. Uh, there's many of us who want to draw a line in the sand and you're giving us the red chalk to do it. So thank you, Dan. Keep it up. Thanks a lot. You got it. Kirk Cameron, folks,
Starting point is 00:15:29 you all know now that's, that's what a real American Patriot looks like. Could have taken the company line, thrown out all the pride flags and gave all the talking points and probably be worth billions of dollars making Marvel movies right now. Instead, he took the path of dignity, faith, and hope. And now it's up to us to support him. Bravebooks.com. Pride comes before the fall.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Click on that. Host one of these. See you at the library events. I'm asking you as a favor. Do one in my town. I'm in Martin County, Florida. I'll see you there. Up next, Dr. Peter McCullough on a frightening interview about COVID, the vaccine. You're going to want to hear this. Let me tell you about our next sponsor first. Folks, the Durban Accords can impact the U.S. dollar's global dominance in the past 80 years. It's been reported that on August 22nd, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa may announce the launch of a new international super currency backed by gold and other commodities it's believed that part of the long-term plan is to replace the us as us
Starting point is 00:16:29 dollar is the cornerstone of the global financial system how can you help protect your ira or 401k from the potential fallout from this potential landmark announcement well diversify like i did with gold from birch gold group birch historically gold has been a safe haven in times of uncertainty which is right now get a free information kit on gold IRAs and decide for yourself if the tax shelter retirement account backed by physical precious metals is right for you. Text DAN to 989890. A monumental shift may be happening among nations that control one-third of the world's GDP starting August 22nd. Help protect your retirement savings. Text DAN to 989898 and claim your free information kit on gold from Birch Gold.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Performance may vary. Consult with your tax attorney or financial professional before making an investment decision. Message and data rates apply. We talked with renowned Dr. Peter McCullough on the latest information on the COVID vaccine. He actually had some really good news. Pay attention to this.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Okay, folks. So with all the controversy right now with Dr. Peter Hotez and should he debate on Joe Rogan, RFK Jr., wanted to debate him. You've heard the story and all this stuff about the vaccine and wanting to debate the vaccine.
Starting point is 00:17:40 I like a source of truth, a guy I've always trusted. He's been a guest on my podcast, on my Fox show when I was there. Just a really great all around guy. Wanted to have him back on the radio show for you. Dr. Peter McCullough. Doc, welcome back to the show. Appreciate you coming on. Thanks for having me. Of course. So, Doc, listen, I'm worried. I just want to be candid with you. I'm worried. I took the vaccine, two doses of Pfizer. I've been to be candid with you. I'm worried. I took the vaccine, two doses of Pfizer. I've been terrified about it ever since I took it early on.
Starting point is 00:18:09 You know, the story I've told you before I had lymphoma at the time, got scared, whatever. We'll save that for another day, but I'm scared. And a lot of my listeners are too. They're sending me questions for you. Tons of them. And the first question is, there's some new data that came out in this sciencedirect.com, and they're saying that the risk of myocarditis for teens was no higher than other vaccinations, and it was actually significantly higher in teens 12 to 17 after COVID than after the vaccine. What do you make of this? Is this a robust study we should be looking at? Well, let me get to that in a minute. Let's just address your situation, Dan. Since the last time I talked to you, a really critical paper was
Starting point is 00:18:50 published. And the first author is Schmeling and colleagues from Denmark. They had all the Pfizer administration data and all the side effects. They figured out that there are three risk groups for the lots, the batches of vaccines that come from the companies. And the first group, about a third of people, they have zero side effects. Zero. I mean, none. Another two-thirds, they have some moderate side effects, like a sore arm for a day or two, and then nothing happens after that. And then sadly, there's a third group, 4.2% of all doses, the side effects are through the roof, myocarditis, blood clots, stroke, immediate death. So what we've learned is, you know, fortunately, you're probably in one of the groups where nothing's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:19:35 And it's because you got lucky. We think some of the batches basically got super loaded with messenger RNA, aggregation of lipid nanopyrots. It could have been contaminated with cDNA or other contaminants. They're not inspected by the companies. Under EUA, there's no inspections for quality, purity, or safety. So I think that's important to know. With myocarditis, I have to tell you, Dan, I'm a cardiologist. I'm seeing this every day in the office. There's over 200 peer-reviewed publications on it. And the bottom line is COVID-19 vaccine causes more myocarditis than anything we've ever seen. It blows away other vaccines. With COVID-19 before the vaccines, it was just a handful of cases, no serious cases. Now there are fatal
Starting point is 00:20:21 COVID-19 vaccine myocarditis all over the place. Recent paper by Cho and colleagues from Korea, 481 cases, Dan, 21 of these kids died despite full life support. Doc, I mean, I trust you on this because I don't understand what you would be getting out of this. You were a world renowned, respected doctor in your space. You've taken nothing but incoming from the start. People have just harassed you. They've tried to ban you, shut you up. I don't get what you've gotten out of this.
Starting point is 00:20:53 The people who attack you, you have no incentive to not toe the company line here other than the truth. So for people who listen to you and respect you like me in the audience if you are in that third say that third that is going to suffer some significant side effect from this vaccine mrna vaccine doc is there anything they can do there's all kinds of stuff on the internet about natakinase and lumbar kinase and baby aspirins i mean you i know you're not talking to specific just in generalities your thoughts on that right so let me get it clear again. There is a high risk group, but it's not a third. It's only 4.2%. It's only 4.2%. So, you know, there's a third where nothing happens. It's like my mother-in-law, she took two shots. She's 90 years old. She didn't even feel it
Starting point is 00:21:41 to this day. She goes, she doesn't know what the big deal is because it's so benign. And two thirds have some mild side effects. It's 4.2%, this tiny fraction where the action is. But what we've learned is there are some risk mitigation strategies. We can't make any therapeutic claims, but really, really good preclinical data from Japan. This spike protein that gets installed with the vaccines and with COVID, the body can't clear it out itself. The body doesn't have its own degradative enzymes because the spike protein is actually genetically engineered to be resistant. It was engineered in the Wuhan lab in China. That's what was found out in the investigations. So the Japanese have figured out that an enzyme called natokinase,
Starting point is 00:22:20 which is derived from the fermentation of soy with a bacteria called Bacillus subtilis nato. It has health benefits anyway. It's been used over a thousand years. The Japanese have eaten it for about 20 years. They use it as a cardiovascular supplement. It's a mild blood thinner, but it reliably dissolves the spike protein. This is very encouraging. We're seeing patients now start to get better with neuropathy and a variety of problems, blood clots in about three months of use. So this is great news. Another natural substance called bromelain. It's also an enzyme derived from the stems of pineapples. It's available over the counter in preclinical studies. Again, it partially delves the spike protein. Then a recent randomized trial using curcumin also had very positive effects in people who have had COVID and have taken the vaccine. Isn't it interesting
Starting point is 00:23:11 that the natural products we're finding useful against such an unnatural protein? The doc, that's fantastic news because my elixir before I come on the air is black tea. I put a little field of greens, a vegetable supplement. I put this dose, curcumin, dandelion product in there with my natto kinase, my fish oil, and my quercetin and bromelain. And I didn't even know that before. So this is like the magic cocktail. You're making me feel. Doc, I was very worried before this conversation. I'm feeling a lot better now.
Starting point is 00:23:45 But another question I get from people, say again, and thank you for the correction, you're in that 4% group. God forbid that you've had a significant problem with the mRNA vaccine. If the damage occurs to the heart tissue, that's permanent, right? I mean, it may not be deadly, but that's not going to fix itself. No, not true, Dan. We're studying in children now. There was a paper years before COVID by a German investigator,
Starting point is 00:24:12 Bruckman and colleagues. As long as it's not a heart attack due to decreased blood flow, the heart can recover the damage that occurs after various things. So we're following this. Now, here's the issue. Jenna Schauer, who's a researcher, has published two papers in the journal Pediatrics. The kids are sustaining such large areas of damage. What she's reporting is they're not all returning to normal.
Starting point is 00:24:37 We're talking anything more than 15% of the left ventricle is a big area. Now there's a recent paper from Yale out showing MRIs about a year later, about 20% are back to normal, but 80% still show some damage. So I have to tell you in this 4.2% myocarditis, heart attacks, stroke, blood clots, they need to see a cardiologist and they need advanced prescription treatment. We're talking to Dr. Peter McCullough, a terrific guy, a man who is a true teller, world-renowned cardiologist, and a guy I trust on this topic. Doc, another question I got during the break,
Starting point is 00:25:12 and it lit up when I told people you were coming on, I usually get 10, 20 questions. I probably got 200. One of them said, is there any value, they do, they love you, is there any value in the troponin test, which would indicate some kind of a heart damage? There is.
Starting point is 00:25:26 In fact, it's buzzing on the internet right now. A paper from Basil Switzerlin, Christian Mueller, who's a friend of mine, senior author, about 2.8% of nurses who took a booster had a rise in the blood troponin, indicating some micro heart damage, about 2.8%. Again, it fits with the same data from Schmeling. Yeah, so we do use the troponin, indicating some micro heart damage, about 2.8%. Again, it fits with the same data from Schmeling. Yeah, so we do use the troponin, the high sensitivity. It is an acute test of heart damage. So when I see a kid for myocarditis, I order that plus some other blood tests, EKG, echo, MRI, we're able to figure it out. But again, it takes advanced testing to do it.
Starting point is 00:26:04 What people need to know is that if they skip the shots they don't have to go through all this yeah yeah i wish i was in that boat doc uh now now if another question i got again which relates to me i would have asked it myself uh we're seeing some weird data on on cancer developments of cancer in the last few years now is that due to people not seeing physicians during the COVID lockdown? The confounding variables in here are legion. We get that.
Starting point is 00:26:31 But is there any evidence out there you've seen in the papers you've reviewed connecting these mRNA vaccines to elevated rates of cancer? As we sit here today, everyone agrees cancer rates are skyrocketing. That's for sure, everywhere in the world. But the issue is, what is it?
Starting point is 00:26:49 Is it delayed in screening and detection during the lockdowns, or is it something new in the population, COVID or the vaccines? The jury's out, Dan, in the medical literature right now. So I'm not ready to call cancer risk. I do agree with the FDA, and the FDA says the vaccines cause myocarditis and heart damage. They cause stroke and they cause blood clots and immunologic problems. That's bad enough. So I'm not ready to call cancer right now, but rates are up. Yeah. You always call balls and strikes doc. We're talking to Dr. Peter McCullough. Doc, one more question I get,
Starting point is 00:27:22 I got two more, but one might get from the health community, health and fitness community. A lot of people wear these biomonitors, you know, Oura rings and Apple watches. I wear one myself. I'm just obsessed with the thing, to be honest with you. And the HRV score, the heart rate variability score, has been a really big thing in the fitness community. The higher the score, the better.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Your heart's more resilient. I noticed after I took the vaccine, and it may just be, I'm not saying it's causal, may just be correlated, but I noticed my HRV score went down dramatically. I've actually spoken to you about this before, and that kind of scared the hell out of me. Does that have anything to do with it, or is that just apples and oranges? No, that's a legit observation. Again, the vaccine influences the autonomic nervous system, sympathetic and parasympathetic.
Starting point is 00:28:10 That's what governs the heart rate variability in exaggerated cases, the vaccine victims, they incur a disease called POTS where the blood pressure and heart rate is way out of regulation. So no, these monitors, Apple iWatches, Cardi have been very helpful to us. I think anybody has any questions, they should use this and report to their doctor or cardiologist on it. Yeah. Yeah. Good advice. Last question, Doc. Talking to Dr. Peter McCullough. Doc, the value of nutrition obviously is self-evident. Fruits and vegetables,
Starting point is 00:28:44 healthy diet, lean meats, healthy fats. We all get that. But for people out there who are concerned that they may have some heart damage, maybe from the vaccine, maybe from something different, maybe from both. We don't know. The importance of things like selenium and these essential minerals, these are really critical. I mean, if you really feel you're worried,
Starting point is 00:29:04 you should be extra hyper-focused on a good exercise plan and solid nutrition and getting those essential minerals in correct i agree you know when the heart muscles weaken what we call cardiomyopathy i routinely recommend additional supplements including selenium l-carnitine d-ribose b vitamins etc so you can find these combination products. One with a company called The Wellness Company, I advise them. There's a heart supplement that I basically helped guide them to put together. It's what I recommend in my practice. Anyway, it really matters. What we've learned is that the immune system is our first line of defense. And out of my sub stack today, Dan, huge news on vitamin D.

Starting point is 00:32:44 or condition. Here's North Carolina Lieutenant Governor and Republican Party superstar Mark Robinson. We talked to him about the rampant racism in the Democrat Party and also about his run for governor in North Carolina. Check it out. Man, do I got a treat for you right now. Let's get right to it. This guy is just a real patriot. Gives a speech like I'd argue no one in the country right now, let's get right to it. This guy is just a real patriot. Gives a speech like I'd argue no one in the country right now.
Starting point is 00:33:09 If you haven't heard him speak or debate, you are missing out. He is the current lieutenant governor of the great state of North Carolina where my father lives, and hopefully the next governor. He is running for governor there. His name is Mark Robinson. I want to welcome him to the show. Lieutenant Governor, thanks for joining us. Hey, Dan. Good to be here again. Always, always good to talk to you. Always an honor. So, sir, I was doing a show on Monday and the show I was doing Monday or Tuesday,
Starting point is 00:33:36 forgive me, may have been Tuesday, but I was just offended because during the break, my producer, Jim and I, we were discussing how the modern Democrat party has become a home an open home for racists I mean actual racists people who talk to black Hispanic and minority Americans as if they have some kind of deficiency and I gotta tell you lieutenant governor they kind of piss me off and I know these issues were hot for you. So I'd like to address them one by one. Things Democrats say to black people and others and treat them like second class citizens and assume they just can't do. Reed insisting somehow that black Americans who are no different other than the melanin content to their skin than white Americans somehow can't get into elite colleges without some kind of assistance I mean that's a racist statement about you know am I missing something no you're not
Starting point is 00:34:40 missing anything Dan it's the know, these folks now, these leftists, they know that their main tactic to win, they know they can't win political arguments. They know they can't win social arguments. So what they do is they divide to conquer.
Starting point is 00:35:00 And the main way they can divide to conquer is by continuing to preach a narrative that creates victim, a victimhood mentality. Not a mentality of victory over obstacles, but a victimhood mentality. So everything they do is division, division, division, division. It's always got to be. So it's not surprising that they do this. So it's not surprising that they do this.
Starting point is 00:35:30 It's the same old playbook that we see time and time again with these would-be despots and these hardcore leftists. We're talking to Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson. Sir, what's your website, by the way, if people want to support you for governor? And I highly, highly recommend you do. Highly. And I mean the highest possible highly. This guy is a good man. This guy could be the president one day.
Starting point is 00:35:46 You don't have to answer that, sir. I'm saying, in my opinion. What's your website? It's Mark Robinson for NC. It's Mark Robinson, F-O-R-N-C. Please, folks, go to that website. Bombard this man's website. Today he's a good man. Sir, I also said on the show that I believe the natural home for minority American citizens right now is our conservative movement.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Whether it's school choice, a respect for God-given rights, regardless of the melanin content of your skin, who cares? This idea that all men are created equal, that they are to be judged by what they do, not how they look. This is the conservative cause now. This is our movement. And I made a plea, and I don't care how it sounds or not. I am practically begging and getting on bended knee to minority Americans to say, please, just give us a shot. We are the natural party for you.
Starting point is 00:36:44 You don't need special government handouts. You don't need to be spoken to like your second-class citizens. You should be addressed like dignified human beings like you are. Our party, your party, as the Republican lieutenant governor, we're the home for black, Hispanic, minority Americans. I believe that, too. You know, I'm seeing that really change, Dan.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Right here where I am in North Carolina. To a large extent, when I first came on the scene because of the speech that I gave to the city council back in 2018, the overwhelming majority of people who recognize me, and I'm just being blunt here, the overwhelming majority of people who recognize me on the street
Starting point is 00:37:25 were white male gun owners. As I moved into running for lieutenant governor, it was mostly white Republicans. After I won the lieutenant governor's office and had been in for a number and now have been in for almost, you know, this past almost three years, the biggest
Starting point is 00:37:41 group that has grown that recognized me are black people between the ages of 25 and 45. I see more and more people that fit that description who recognize me and not only recognize me, they support me wholeheartedly. And here's why I believe those numbers are turning around. Number one, these folks were very, they're very dismayed about what happened during COVID. That was one of the things that really starts to open people's eyes up. I tell you on a daily basis, I meet people who are still furious about the fact that they were kept out of hospitals, could not see their loved ones who were dying alone in hospitals, could not receive the
Starting point is 00:38:25 medical treatment that they wanted, and feel like they were lied to both by the government and by the hierarchy of the medical establishment. Not necessarily their doctors, but the hierarchy of the medical establishment. So that chipped away at it. The second thing that chipped away at it happened during COVID, when many of these parents were made aware of the filthy material that's being presented to their children in schools, many, many, many minority parents are standing up against this. They're pushing back against it, and they don't want their children in it. And they want a different way for their children. They want that choice to be able to take their children out of those failing public schools
Starting point is 00:39:01 and give them the option to make sure that their children are successful. And the last thing that's really, really breaking the straw that's breaking the camel's back, so to speak, is the transgender issue. I cannot tell you how many people recognize me and support me because of my strong stand against the, my strong stand against the transgender, aggressive transgender movement. Folks are not buying that. Minorities across the board are not falling in line with that. They're pushing back against it, and they are abandoning
Starting point is 00:39:35 the Democratic Party in huge numbers because of those issues. And I believe we have the golden opportunity right now to get in, talk to those folks, and tell them, you want to take your power back? Vote Republican. Vote conservative, get out there, get involved and make sure that you're voting for people who have confidence in your abilities because Democrats don't. They want to spoon feed you into the welfare state. Republicans, conservatives, we want to give you the
Starting point is 00:40:01 opportunity to succeed at the highest levels. Indeed. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. We're talking to Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson from North Carolina running for governor. One of the best candidates in the country. A good, decent guy. If you haven't heard one of his speeches, by the way, you're doing yourself a huge disservice. No tickets required. Just go to any video site and look it up. It's worth your time. Sir, you brought up an interesting point. I wanted to kind of double down with you on because you're a pretty deep thinker about these things. I've listened to many of your speeches and you've thought this stuff through. Liberals are living on this theory right now of intersectionality. It's a blatantly racist stereotypical theory that relies on stereotypical tropes that all minorities basically think alike that's really the essence of
Starting point is 00:40:46 intersectionality that oh you know blacks hispanics asians that they all have this common thread and it's that like the big guys coming for you and democrats are going to save you and wear the party for you that party that that that's nonsense one it's stereotypical because they're not black americans they're americans they're moms and dads and electricians and pilots. They don't go to work and go, I'm a black pilot. They go to work like, I got to fly the plane. Like, nobody thinks like that other than dopey Democrats. So that, my producer's laughing, but it's true.
Starting point is 00:41:17 You know it and I know it. You're not the black lieutenant governor. You're the lieutenant governor. It's just ridiculous. So the Democrats' theory of intersectionality is now coming back to bite them. And you just the Lieutenant Governor it's just ridiculous so the the Democrats theory of intersectionality is now coming back to bite them and you just harped on it because the lgbtqia sexual identity politics Lobby a lot of them not all but a lot of them that are pushing to have this sexual material in schools does intersect with the black community many of whom again i'm not speaking for all i'm
Starting point is 00:41:45 not a member of it and i don't stereotype people are like wait wait i'm a church going believer in jesus christ i don't care about this this crap ain't going in my school what are you guys crazy so the irony the whole thing is the intersectionality is actually causing cannibalism as they start to eat each other alive. You're absolutely right. You know, this whole notion, all these phony notions that these people have about intersectionality, about critical race theory, it's all a bunch of phony hogwash that can be easily proven by simply picking up a history book or picking up any book that properly describes our society. any book that properly describes our society.
Starting point is 00:42:33 You know, this whole thing with the transgender movement is really, really, it has gotten out of control. I say this all the time, Dan, and so many people agree with me on this. I think the overwhelming majority of Americans will agree with me on this. This is the United States of America. We are a constitutional republic. We are not a theocracy. So I cannot tell anyone what to do morally. Now, legally, that's a different question. But morally, I cannot tell you what type of lifestyle to live adult to adult when it comes to adult interpersonal relationships or how you carry yourself as an adult. So, in other words, you are free to blow your tuba all you like. The problem is you cannot blow your tuba in my face,
Starting point is 00:43:12 and you cannot blow it in my children's faces. And even more to the point, you cannot force me to dance to your music. You cannot do it. You are not going to do it. That is not the American way. You are free to be a transgender person, but I am also free to disagree with it. I'm not free to violently disagree with it. I'm not free to discriminate against you and take away your constitutional rights because of it, but I am free to disagree with it, and I should be free from
Starting point is 00:43:41 being forced to go along with it. We have crossed the line in this country now where people say, if you disagree, you're a racist, you're a bigot, you're a hater, you're breaking the rules. That's not how it's supposed to be. Everybody's supposed to be free to enjoy themselves and their own persons. That includes those Christians who do not believe in the transgender movement and the tenets thereof. And so we've got to push back against that and make sure that these bullies, and that's exactly what they are, bullies, we have to strip them of their power and make sure that they can't force us to go along. Give them their space to be who they want to be, but you're going to give me my space to be who I want to be as well. My gosh, you're good at this, this whole freedom and liberty thing.
Starting point is 00:44:25 You just got this thing figured out. We're talking to the Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, running for governor, Mark Robinson. Sir, last question, I'll let you go. Just a local issue. Well, you know, not local statewide in North Carolina, but we have a national show,
Starting point is 00:44:39 so local to you in North Carolina. North Carolina is almost always like number one, two, or three, business-friendly-wise on those rankings statewide for places to relocate, move your business. You're the lieutenant governor there. You know, what's the secret? What are you guys doing down there?
Starting point is 00:44:58 The state's getting redder by the day. You had, you know, in contrast to what happened in national elections, you guys did really well in the midterms uh what's the secret and if you're elected governor how are you going to keep it going well the secret is that we have a legislature that's been in place since a conservative majority legislature that's been in place since 2010 that have had their priorities in order uh prior to 2010 this state was in horrible our state was in horrible shape financially, $3.4 billion in debt to the federal government. We were laying off state workers.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Teachers didn't get a raise for six years. But under Republican leadership after 2010, we're no longer in debt to the federal government. We lowered taxes, both personal and corporate, even in the face of those liberals that said the state was going to go broke. Now we find ourselves no longer in debt to the federal government, not one penny. Revenue is as high as it's ever been. We have surpluses instead of deficits.
Starting point is 00:45:53 And we've just been named the number one business destination for the second year in a row. The thing that we have got to do is make sure that we keep conservative people in those seats and in those positions of leadership we've got our legislature we've got our courts back now we need to get the governor's mansion those three pieces together pulling in the same direction i guarantee you we'll keep uh we'll keep this state red for the next 50 years or more and and i pray a guy like you uh we need you. I mean, the country needs you. Even though I hope you're going to be the next governor of North Carolina, you are a national figure.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Anyone who knows you sees it. You have got just a halo of positive energy around you. Sir, what's the website again? We're talking to Mark Robinson, running for governor of North Carolina. Folks, support this guy. He's going to be a national figure. I'm telling you soon.
Starting point is 00:46:44 The website, one last time, sir. It is Mark Robinson for NC. That's Mark Robinson, F-O-R-N-C. Check him out, folks, please. He's definitely worth your time. Watch one of his speeches, you'll see what I mean. Sir, always an honor to have you. Thanks so much for spending some time with us. Hold down the fort down there in North Carolina.

He has some probably shocked me on the radio more than anyone else with this interview about UFOs. Take a listen. So I'm really proud to say that we're on in Nashville and WDXC and we are obviously so honored to be there.
Starting point is 00:48:59 And Tennessee is a state I got a lot of love for. I'd say after Florida, it's probably my second favorite state. We go up there quite a bit. And let me just say something before we bring on our next guest about the great state of Tennessee, where he is a representative in Congressional District 2. I got a special surprise coming for you in Tennessee, in and around Nashville.
Starting point is 00:49:20 And I know it's not the Congressman's District, our next guest, but we got something coming up in August Jim knows about it and if you're in the Nashville area listening on WDXC then we got a special surprise coming for you soon so stay tuned for the deets on that one all right let me welcome in this guest congressman Tim Burchett. Thank you so much for joining us. We really appreciate it. How are you, sir? I am great, Mr. Bongino, and I can't tell you what an honor it is for me to be on the show
Starting point is 00:49:52 with you. I've been a... Yeah, I know this is highly unprofessional. Hell, I'm 58 years old, but I have been a big fan of yours, so it's really cool. Thank you for putting out the show. Thank you. No, no, that's great i deeply appreciate i'm i'm i'm kind of uh humbled a little bit you would say that i mean i ran for congress and lost you
Starting point is 00:50:11 actually won so don't like me too much you i don't want to i didn't do too well so i i you know you have set the world on fire over the past couple of days because number one you took i thought a really informed stance on the Secret Service scandal. An agency I love was a part of, but I think made a major screw up. He had some comments on that. But also there was an article, you were quoted about this unidentified aerial phenomenon, what people otherwise would call UFOs. And this article went nuclear and you were quoted in it as speaking about UFO technology.
Starting point is 00:50:44 And one of the quotes was that we can't handle it. And I really wanted to have you on the show to talk about that. I know that you're limited in what you can say. I understand that. But what you can say, should we be worried? Because that kind of freaked me out a little bit, sir. Well, I think I was maybe a little tongue-in-cheek. My big point is now is that we need the Pentagon and all the military intelligence.
Starting point is 00:51:14 And honestly, Mr. Bongino, military intelligence is a lot like congressional ethics. It probably doesn't exist. But regardless, I wish that they would just release all the files that they have they you know we'll we'll go in the skip we'll review stuff it's highly redacted it looks like a big old piece of swiss cheese and it just it's it's a joke and you've got now the pentagon is realizing that 55 of the americans think that there's something going on. You have people that are highly qualified pilots coming forward, Navy pilots, some of the best in the world, the Tic Tac videos, not Tic Tac, but Tic Tac like the candy.
Starting point is 00:51:58 And it just, you know, my daughter says, hey, Boomer, it's Tic Tac. I said, no, baby, not the communist Chinese propaganda. I'm talking about the thing that keeps you fresh. But anyway, and now the Pentagon, of course, is talking out of both sides of their collective mouths by saying, well, we need to study it. And, of course, what that means, send us another billion dollars. And, you know, that's not happening in my book but anyway so now i'm just really wanting transparency i want these hearings i want to let's we've got we've got credible sources telling us we've recovered craft these um and credible sources tell us that things
Starting point is 00:52:38 like the tic-tac video or just reverse engineered craft that we've um that we've we've collected so i'm just wanting to get to the bottom of it, and I'm hoping these hearings will do that. We're talking to Congressman Tim Burchett from the 2nd District in the great, amazing state of Tennessee, which I love and adore. Congressman, is it possible, and I'm just asking your opinion, obviously not asking to give up any classified information here, but is it just possible, because I believe in Occam's razor, given all possible explanations, except the one that requires the least amount of assumptions, right? Right. advanced technology that's domestic that we just don't understand by domestic i mean earth not the united states i mean maybe the chinese communist party or even a friendly maybe a friendly's
Starting point is 00:53:31 invented something and maybe that technology is something as simple as as radar spoofing where we think we're seeing something on all these sensors but that's why these pilots aren't touching it or shooting it down like you're seeing something on a sensor that's not really there. Is that more likely than it being alien from some other planet or some other galaxy? Well, that's what we've done with the AI, too. But here's my point. That's why I don't put a lot of stock in the videos. I know that this was a lot of the videos we have.
Starting point is 00:54:00 We've had astronauts. Gordon Cooper, probably one of the most storied astronauts ever um described a craft landing at a facility he was at and they filmed it they came they took the footage and they took it to a right patterson and they called right patterson the next day and they said they didn't know what they were talking about we it's just too much it's too much dan and i i think mr bongino excuse me I think that it's a, I think some of it could be possibly something recovered. We've reversed engineering, but I honestly think it's something that's not of this planet.
Starting point is 00:54:33 We don't have the technology. We don't. There is no way. Because if we did, say if it was the Chinese or the Russians, honestly, Xi Jinping, he would control us. Putin, he'd fly over to, I've said this many times, but he'd fly to the White House, get out bare-chested, probably ride a unicorn over and wrestle Joe Biden, get back in it. I mean, you know, these egos, they would control us. And if we had it, we wouldn't be worried about a war in Ukraine. It'd be over overnight, except the war pimps couldn't make all their money. My point is this,
Starting point is 00:55:07 is that this is some incredible technology. These crafts, if there's a human in it, they'd be an instant catch-up package because of the G's and things that are turning. So I just think we've got a we've got something we don't
Starting point is 00:55:24 know anything about or we're trying to hide. And I just wish, and case in point, the Kennedy assassination over 50 years ago. But they still will not release it. Nobody on any of that intelligence is even alive. Right. Who are they protecting? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Who are they protecting? And it's about control. It's about technology. It's about protecting? And it's about control. It's about technology. It's about money and it's about corruption. And that's what Washington, D.C. runs on both parties. And we know it. You know it. And it's just it's it's we've got to we just got to get to the bottom of it. And, you know, I've got an amendment in the NDA that would would would declassify the UFO documents. And now Schumer's joined in on it, too. He's got one in the Senate. So I think, you know, but again, you've got to trust the Pentagon to do what's right, which they won't.
Starting point is 00:56:14 I just think we've got to eventually going to have to say, hey, we're cutting off your money until y'all do right. And that's that's the bottom line. We're talking to Congressman Tim Burchett from the great state of Tennessee, Congressional District 2. Congressman, last question on this topic, and then we'll get to something else because you've made a lot of statements in the news
Starting point is 00:56:35 I find newsworthy and interesting, for that matter. Do you think if this information on UFOs and UAPs was declassified? Because you just made a pretty stunning statement that I got to tell you floored me, that you actually believe this is alien technology. I'm stunned because I'm not suggesting that there's no way that's possible.
Starting point is 00:56:55 I'm just, I'm kind of floored. I don't even know how to respond. Do you think if Americans saw what you saw that they would draw the same conclusions? If they saw what I saw and talked to the people I talked to, they would. You've got to realize, Dan, every night, every night, my dad gum dogs, Roscoe, Buzz, and Charlie, they always got to go to the bathroom at 4.30 in the morning. All right?
Starting point is 00:57:22 I let them out early, let them out, whatever. 4.30'm my ass is up every night i go out and look at those stars and i can you imagine the light from those stars literally literally left there before the time of christ i mean that is the vastness of god's great universe and yeah i don't fear whatever it is out there because honestly with that kind of technology they could travel to us and we can't control it and we've seen it and don't know what to do with it, you know, we'd be over. I'm not, I don't fear them. I'm not worried about it. I just want the government to release what they have. That's my concern. I fear a government
Starting point is 00:57:59 that is not transparent. And that's what we have right now. Wow. Jim, get this on the Sunday show too. This is one of the most amazing interviews I've ever conducted. I can't tell you, Congressman, how floored I am. Let me go to some other things too. You had commented on the Secret Service scandal. And I worked there for 12 years
Starting point is 00:58:19 with some of the greatest people I ever met in my entire life. I mean, in a literal sense, would give their life for a Democrat or Republican president in a heartbeat because that's what we do. We protect our republic even when we don't agree with the people in charge. Having said that, I agree with you wholeheartedly. You have been robustly condemning what you believe may be a cover-up with this cocaine scandal at the White House.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Congressman, I just don't see it possible, given what I know of the access system at the White House and how these cubbies work, that you could not have lifted a print. Someone got white powder in the White House. Forget that it's cocaine. Who cares? You got white powder. It could have been anthrax. You're telling me you couldn't have fingerprinted the cubby or fingerprinted a non-porous plastic bag how did the bag get in the cubby by antenna we only have fingers this doesn't make any sense yeah that that bag of cocaine has a pair of legs i think mr barnes you know they reported it right in one area and it went into another and another thing is they don't have the key but listen to what they said and i agree agree with you. Secret Service are top notch, best in the world. And those poor guys had to come in there and tell us that.
Starting point is 00:59:30 And I was just like, oh, I feel sorry for those guys because they're higher ups. And they're telling the truth as far as they know it because they're just told what they're told. They're not in the laboratory. But here's what they told us, they did not have enough dna to diagnose or what it who it whose it was they did that's sort of like saying i'm i'm sort of pregnant but really not i'm not really sure i mean you know i mean what the heck is that about dude and so then um you know and then they tell us what the in the uh the investigation is over tomorrow and then you know and i was like, are you kidding me?
Starting point is 01:00:06 And then they said this meeting wasn't classified. They'd already briefed the president, so he would be prepared to know how to respond to this earlier. You know, this whole thing, this Washington, D.C., Mr. Bongino, everybody wants to pick and choose. Oh, we need to clean this up. No, Washington, D.C. is a freaking trash can. You need to put a garden hose to
Starting point is 01:00:28 it and turn it upside down and wash it out. How did I not find you before? Really, you're amazing. I'm going to be up in Nashville soon. We've got to get together. I know it's a little far from your district, but you're Eastern Tennessee. We've got to talk, man.
Starting point is 01:00:44 I really like this guy. I've got two minutes left, but I want to ask you a final question because I agree with you on that. And yes, the agents are awesome. And I've got, just so you know, because you guys determined their funding and all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:56 The agents I spoke to who are retired are pissed. And some who are active, too, are furious because this isn't what they represent. They are worthy of trust and confidence. But I got about a minute, 30 seconds. You're in Tennessee, a state exploding, a great business state, a great Republican state. Final comments on this growing disparity in the United States between struggling blue states and red states.
Starting point is 01:01:18 What's the secret in Tennessee? Or is it a secret at all? Tennessee is a low tax, right to work state. If you want to get a job, brother, you come to Tennessee. If you want to work, come to Tennessee. If you want to bring your Northeastern liberal values, stay in the Northeast because everybody down here, everybody in Tennessee that has a Northern accent, as I like to say, East Tennessee is the only place in America where people don't speak with an accent. But the people that come there don't want to change it.
Starting point is 01:01:47 They see the way their community used to be and how Tennessee is. And that's why they're moving to Tennessee, the vast majority. Some of those conservative people I know have a northern accent and they live in my district. And they are wonderful. Congressman, my brother, me too. my brother me too i go i live down here in florida and the people moving down here from the north are not liberals that's why we changed the voter registration from down 200 000 of democrats to up 500 the people coming here are i keep telling people they're like oh stop telling people how florida is liberals are coming yeah of course there's some liberals moving down
Starting point is 01:02:24 the conservatives far outnumb conservatives far outnumber them. I outnumber them. I was going to buy a place in Franklin, and I could not believe properties are like tripled just in the last few years because so many people love Tennessee. I got to go, Congressman. I'm out of time. When I come up to Nashville, let's get together.
