Starting point is 00:00:29 Hey there, folks. Welcome to Snowmageddon. That's what, you know, some people, when it snows, they kind of freak out. It's like, it's the end of the world. We're all going to die. It's snow. I call it winter. That's just me, because I'm kind of tough, you know, pioneer stock.
Starting point is 00:00:59 It is kind of funny. I'm in New York City right now recording this. Now, Chris Himes, you, my friend, normally. Normally, you would be here with me in Manhattan, but the snow genuinely, like we're in the middle of the blizzard now, and it is a blizzard and it is a nor'easter. It's not just a snowstorm, to be clear. It's a blizzard because of the wind, very high winds.
Starting point is 00:01:24 And, you know, but normally a lot of snow accumulation does not qualify as a blizzard. Super high winds. It is also noreaster. but it's pretty brutal. You tried to get across the river today. Yes, yes, I did. And there are frozen, folks, this is true, frozen elk carcasses as far as the eye can see.
Starting point is 00:01:45 This is Caribou. They have come down from the north. I might just be making that up. Chris, what say you? Yeah, it was gnarly. I didn't see the carcasses, but there were a number of commuters down in Wealk and on the river where the ferry usually picks up
Starting point is 00:02:01 passengers and we were all sort of waiting there like Godot. We were waiting for Godot. But we were actually waiting for Mom Doni to grow up here and not cancel the ferry service, but apparently he was unable to do that. And so we're waiting there looking at our phones, you know, the time, the lot of time of, you know, seven. Don't make fun of Mom Donnie on this show. Okay, he's a 33-year-old child.
Starting point is 00:02:20 We need to give him time. Okay. He's got to get out of, once he graduates from junior high school, I'm sure he'll be prepared. I'm sorry. Well, yes. Our gentle to pick on a child. He's just a child. Don't let the beard fool you.
Starting point is 00:02:34 He's a gentle. Spirit gum. That's not a real beard. He's a gentle brown prince and I will never speak ill of him again. So anyway, we're standing there waiting for this boat to come up, kind of like waiting for our passage to the river sticks through the, you know, across. Just to be clear. So you're on the Jersey side.
Starting point is 00:02:52 That's right. Quite literally waiting for a ferry to carry you across what I like to call the Hudson River. Yeah. So you would think the ferry would be the last mode of transportation to get canceled by the governments. But, you know, they canceled the buses and they made driving illegal, actually, that cleared a state of emergency in New Jersey and New York City.
Starting point is 00:03:14 So unless you're an emergency vehicle that you're not really supposed to be driving a car till noon today. So I walked down, you know, 20 minutes down to the ferry spot waiting for the boat to come. And then this other commuter after, you know, about 35 minutes, looks at her email and says, oh, I just got a notification that ferry service at this location has been suspended. So it would have been nice to know before I, you know, ventured out in the blizzard. Well, okay, so look, at least you tried. I did.
Starting point is 00:03:41 We're doing the show anyway. So, folks, we're going to talk about the snow. We talked to the snow. We're going to talk about the hockey game yesterday. We're going to talk about the attempt to murder President Trump. We're going to talk about Mexican cartels. We're going to talk about Iran. We're going to talk about Islamal fascism.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I already said that, Iran. We're going to talk about Huckabee, Tucker. The Jews may come up in this conversation. It's crazy. The snow has made us a little mad. It's true. And I think for the madness. Yeah, the Huckabee Tucker conversation,
Starting point is 00:04:14 I think we should call it Tuckabee. The Tuckabee incident. Tuckabee. Isn't that good? You know, in history books in the future, there's going to be like, you know, it's going to say Tuckabee and people are going to, what's that?
Starting point is 00:04:26 And they're going to read down, they go, oh, there was a guy named Tucker Carlson and a governor who became an ambassador to Israel named Huckabee. That's why it's called Tuckabee. That's going to be like a footnote for people because everybody's going to know the term Tuckabee, but they're going to know where did that originate. That's where it originates. Now, okay, let's cover this first.
Starting point is 00:04:44 So Tucker, who has been saying some really irresponsible things about Israel and the Jews, had a conversation with Governor Mike Huckabee, I'm sorry, Ambassador Mike Huckabee, whom I love. And Ambassador Huckabee is in Israel. He is the ambassador to Israel from the United States. And I don't watch the whole thing. What was your takeaway? Any hot takes?
Starting point is 00:05:11 Well, I mean, I give them both a lot of credit, honestly, for sitting down and having the conversation because I think it's a conversation that people have been having, you know, in classrooms, on chat rooms and things like that. So I do, I give them both. credit for willing to do that. I mean, it's, I don't think, you know, I don't think Tucker seated any ground. I don't think, I don't think, I don't think how could be seated any ground. All right, listen, let me just tell you, because we, we don't have time. We got so much else to cover. Here's my take, okay? Ladies and gentlemen, one of the dumb things, like very dumb things
Starting point is 00:05:46 that Tucker Carlson believes, it's embarrassing. Friends of mine, successful, wealthy, friends of mine. I can think of two believe this. Okay. They believe that the Jews of today are phonys and frauds. They're not really the Jews traced back to Israel. There's some kind of Cassarian mafia. They've kind of hijacked the identity of the Jews and now, you know, they're using that. What are they using it for? Oh, I don't know, to be murdered by the Nazis, for example, who wouldn't want to be a Jew in 1935, you know, even if you're not really a Jew, you claim to be a Jew. Why? Because you get the benefit of being murdered en masse by the Nazis. Do you understand how this makes no sense? It makes no sense. It's insane. It's insane. The Jews have identified as Jews through history, Tucker even brought up, and this beggar's belief, this beggar's belief that somebody as smart as Tucker could be this ignorant. It's stunning to me. I don't understand it at all. I really don't. He talked about, wasn't Bibi Netanyahu? Isn't his family come from Poland?
Starting point is 00:06:55 Ladies and gentlemen, why do you think they were in Poland? Have you heard of the diaspora? Did you know that the Jews were kicked out of, you know, Jerusalem in 70 AD? Have you read any books? Do you know anything about this? They were scattered to the four winds. They kept their faith alive. They kept their ethnic identity alive.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Why? Because it was utterly centrally important to them. So they identified as Jews. They got no benefits through the centuries. through the centuries, forgetting all about your ethnic identity as a Jew would have benefited you tremendously. They did just the opposite. So none of this makes any sense.
Starting point is 00:07:33 It's lunacy. Something else Tucker said, which again, this is embarrassing. I don't understand. Has he not thought this through? Obviously not. But he's like, well, can we do DNA tests? Now we have DNA tests. So we can test the Jews to find it if they're actually Jews from ancient Israel.
Starting point is 00:07:48 And I thought, if only... Hitler had had this technology. That'd be so great. And he could just say like, you know what? Hey, we just tested you. You're not really Jewish. Hey, we're sorry. Are bad.
Starting point is 00:07:58 We got it wrong. We won't murder you. How great that would be. This is unbelievable to me, again, that Jews, self-identifying as Jews, have had nothing but trouble for identifying as Jews, including in Germany, in the 30s. And I write about this in my Bonhofer book. Plenty Jews. at that point had assimilated. They were going to Christian churches
Starting point is 00:08:24 worshipping Yeshua Hamashiyah, worshipping Jesus. They were identified as Christians, as patriotic Germans. The Nazis didn't care. The Nazis said, now, you know what, you're ethnically Jewish. We're going to kill you. So the Nazis kind of understood, oh, yeah, they're Jewish. So the confusion that comes with ignorance that has been pushed by folks, unfortunately, like Tucker Carlson, is unbelievable. And so when he brought that up in the Huckabee interview, I just thought, wow, he's really going there. He's really bought this crazy conspiracy lie that the Jews are not the Jews.
Starting point is 00:09:05 It's the Kayserian mafia. Haven't you heard? We discovered it 10 minutes ago. It's a thing. So that was part of it to me, which I'm so embarrassed by it. I don't know what to think. While the corrupt federal elites have been quietly building. wealth through cryptocurrency, hardworking American patriots have been left behind.

Yeah, I mean, I thought it was, yeah, no, it's certainly embarrassing, and I think, you know, Hockaby, you could kind of see him, being like, this is basic stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Like, what am I, what am I missing? And Tucker was just sort of, you know, he just looks bewildered these days. Well, the issue is Tucker has not done the homework. Yeah. He hasn't, he's really become fairly, extremely recently, sort of serious about Christian faith or whatever and stuff. So he doesn't know a lot of what he's talking about. And the problem is, if you know what you're talking about, shush, like, don't talk about it.
Starting point is 00:12:30 But he's just, he just dove in and he's, he's caused a lot of trouble. I really, I can't understand it. But I want to say the main point here, folks, is this lie, which Tucker clearly believes, and he's kind of floating it with Huckabee, is like, you know, it seems like a lot of the Jews in Israel today are not actually Jews, and the Jews are not the Jews. And can we do a test? And I want to say, again, ladies and gentlemen, have you heard of the Holocaust? Why would somebody identify as a Jew?
Starting point is 00:13:01 What benefit do you get when you're being. murdered. Well, the fact of the matter is, through history, they identified as Jews because they had a fundamental duty to God to be faithful to their faith, to be faithful to their idea. That's what they believed. So the idea that some people would kind of do this or it's so dumb, we need to move on. Okay, let's talk about positive stuff. Can we talk about hockey? Yeah, let's do it. That was an amazing, I mean, it's unbelievable. I mean, I'm not a numerology guy, the fact that the U.S. men's hockey team won, again, for gold, you know, 46 years to the date, is pretty staggering. Oh, you know, I didn't know that to the day.
Starting point is 00:13:46 To the day. To the day. Okay, I'm old enough to remember when hockey was invented. I was on the pond and there were some kids and we were doing something and hockey was invented that day. And I'm also old enough to remember 1980. I was in high school when this happened. This was like so amazing. When we won from the Soviet Union, the USSR, it was, you know, and it was Reagan. So patriotism just exploded.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Americans were just filled with patriotism. Again, it's 1980. This is Reagan. So think about this. We defeated on the world stage in 1980, and again, I'll never forget this. we defeated Soviet communism. It was just a miracle. They called it the miracle on ice.
Starting point is 00:14:39 It felt like a miracle. In 2026, we defeated Canada, which tells the world again, woke socialism is defeated. Now, one of the Canadian hockey players had the temerity to say, well, basically, if you watched us, you could see we had the better team.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Well, you know what? You're not graded on who had the better team. You're graded on who won the game. So it doesn't matter how good you are on paper. It matters how good you are on the ice. You lost. We won. And that's just the way it goes.
Starting point is 00:15:12 It's unbelievable. The team, the goalie, I think one of the greatest performances in the history of sports. The fact that he's got like a bloody mouth, he looks like Jake Lamata, enraging bull, like, hey, you didn't get me down. You didn't get me down. I mean, it's like he's bleeding. He's got the, it really was like Jake Lomato, like Robert De Niro in one of the greatest films ever made in 1980. Yeah, Jack Hughes.
Starting point is 00:15:41 And online, everybody's already putting that photo of him smiling, missing the teeth with the flag on the Wheaties box. And, you know, you mentioned 1980 being very patriotic. That was kind of the era of the Wheaties boxes, right? You know, you had Bruce Jenner and the other Olympians showing up on these boxes. So, and then, you know, it's been an amazing Olympics for the Americans. And then Trump, I don't know if you saw the Trump called the team from the, from the locker room and congrats. What did he call him?
Starting point is 00:16:09 Huh? What did he call him? Never mind. He called him winners. Beautiful, beautiful winners. And invited him to the state of the union. So that was a great moment. That's tomorrow night, the state of the union.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Tomorrow night, folks. Yeah, he offered to send some military vehicles to come and snatch him up like GI Joe. It was very funny. I don't know if you saw the whole thing, but he was like, you know, as president, that's one of the good things. We don't care about blizzards.
Starting point is 00:16:34 We'll come get you. We'll, we have the best pilots in the world. We'll come get you wherever, land on anything. So I guess we are, we are, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:44 we may, today's Monday, we may have to cover the State of the Union Wednesday morning. We might have to do that because there's so much news that's coming fast and furious. Okay,
Starting point is 00:16:57 we got to talk about A 21-year-old man was killed at Moralago. He wanted to kill the president. He, what's the term, broached the perimeter? I've been in Mar-a-Lago a bunch of times. And, you know, the thought of somebody sneaking in there with a shotgun, not good. He was obviously somewhat deranged, obsessed, they say, with the Epstein files.
Starting point is 00:17:25 He had a can of gasoline. and a shotgun when the cops or whoever it was, I don't even remember now, you know, told him to put down the shotgun, he didn't. He lifted it and it looked like he was going to unload some buckshot into them, which gave them no choice, it's horrible,
Starting point is 00:17:53 but to shoot him. And he is dead. So we're living in crazy times. We can talk about that more. I think the headline, the big headline is he wasn't transgender. That's the shock. That's the above the fold headline. That crazy lunatic with a gun who's trying to kill people was not transgender or transgender adjacent.
Starting point is 00:18:16 You know, I'm actually surprised that these, you know, transgender cross dressers aren't using crossbows, you know, to do these crimes. Yeah. soon, the cross pope. Yeah, and dressed as furries. I kind of tell you, this seems like we're making this up. I mean, we're joking, but there's a level of madness, which I think, of course, the good news is it's waking a lot of people up. I want to talk about my book on The Revolution for a moment.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Suddenly, you're able to pre-order it. And I want to say this. Whoever pre-orders the book, they will give you the lowest price. what's on there now, they will almost certainly not charge you that price. They will charge you the lowest price that it appears on Amazon by the time the book is released, which is like May 19th or something like that. And so it will come down significantly. You'll be charged the lower price, just so you know if you pre-order it.
Starting point is 00:19:14 But I want to talk about that in a moment. I have something I think important to say about it, about the American Revolution, about the supercentennial. in case you didn't get the memo, this is America's supercentennial folks. You're going to be hearing more and more about the term supercentennial. You'll see. Iran, it's unclear what is happening now. I have to say that we do need to do something.
Starting point is 00:19:43 President Trump said to the protesters who being murdered, you know, keep fighting. We've got your back, something like that. president of the United States, when it's Donald Trump, you don't say something like that without backing it up. So he is going to back it up because he's a man of his word. And what that looks like we don't know. So I want to say, some of you remember me sharing this hawk and dove story. Some people have told me that their interpretation of that is that war is coming because the hawk and the dove story. of his peace and the hawk is war. So I'm going to say to the prayer warriors in this audience, I'm asking you to pray for this nation,
Starting point is 00:20:30 pray for the safety of every American citizen in particular. Would you please do that? Would you please pray, those of you who are prayers, pray for the safety of this nation, because if we attack Iran, which I hope we will, I hope the mullahs go down, and I hope the people of Iran once again become a free people, when that happens, there will probably be some kind of retaliation, which brings us to the subject of Islamo-fascism.
Starting point is 00:20:56 In case you didn't know it, Islam is not a religion of peace. They are a religion of war, which is to say they're not a religion. That's very, very flattering to them and a lie to say, oh, they're this religion, and we all have our different religions. It's like calling the Nazis a religion. like we'll kill you if you disagree with us. That's really not, you know, not all faiths are equal. There's only one God. And that God does not say go forth and murder in my name.
Starting point is 00:21:33 That would be, I think I'm getting this right, the devil. So we need to be clear. What's going on right now with Mamdani in New York? He's promoting Islam. Evidently, they had scores of young, Islamic men, you know, praying in the center of Times Square. This is like a hostile takeover. So if you lie down and let this happen, I blame you, right?
Starting point is 00:21:59 If you let this happen. So anybody who's complicit with this kind of stuff, it's like, well, it's a religion of peace. Let them have their thing. You have to really strongly believe in what you believe. Otherwise, those people win. And this is what happened when the Roman Empire got weak, feminized, sort of, you know, we're not sure what we've
Starting point is 00:22:17 believe anymore. Well, the Visigoths, the Goths, the Vandals, they're going to take over. That's basically where we are right now in the West. It's happening across Western Europe. They're trying to do that in Dallas. They're trying to do that in New York. So if we don't stand up against it, if we don't figure out what we believe, they win. And you know what? Just saying, what you believe matters, we're no longer neutral ground. If you ever thought there was such a thing, well, you're going to see that there's no neutral ground. It's kind of like, you know, Chris, I was thinking of you because I was thinking of like, when we talk about radical murderous Muslims who are online every day talking about like,
Starting point is 00:22:57 we need to kill and, you know, waving guns and we're going to behead the infidel. And we say like that's a religion. It's like, it's like calling pirates a religion. Like, hey, it's just what they are. They just, you know, they just. It's a gentle, it's a gentle and compassionate raping and pillaging they do. That's all. That's what the pirates do. It's just who they are, man.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Yes. Let them be who they are and you be who you are and they murder and take you, okay? Let it happen. What does it matter? Skull and crossbones is just a symbol of irony. They don't really mean it. They don't mean, yeah, the skull and crossbones, when they hoist the jolly Roger, they're just, you know, they're just kind of winking at you.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Hey, you know, it's cool. They just want to be cool. They're smoking cigarettes. They're gentle boat people. They're just gentle boat people. handle both people who murder you. The plank. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:48 And when you walk the plank, it's not sharks down there to eat you. They don't tie you up. It's just, it's like a, you know, a seesaw or a playground. It's cute. It's all very cute. So we're seeing this happening and it's coming out more and more on my X feed. If you don't follow me on X, you should because I retweet most of this stuff. But we are, I think sometimes it's God's mercy to us to show us.
Starting point is 00:24:14 the evil of evil to show us the evilness of evil because i think a lot of times in the last decades a lot of people thought well you know we've evolved past that and everything's nice we're at the end of history democracy and peace is breaking out all over well no it doesn't work that way if you have a biblical worldview there's good there's evil uh but the the secularists who are in both parties, Democrat mostly, but also the Republican Party, you know, the Bushes, they just think, like, if we could have this nice international order, everything is just wonderful and everything will be fine. And we've seen more and more, it doesn't work that way.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Europe is falling. Apart from a miracle, London or England and France and these countries, they're falling. They don't have robust faith to stand against. the robust faith of the Islamists who want to kill them and take over, who are burning churches, who are making mosques, creating mosques. So that's the way it goes. So we need to figure out what we believe. We need to grow a spine.
Starting point is 00:25:26 We need to stand tall. And we need to fight for what we believe in. And we need to understand, yes, we have enemies. But again, there are people who they don't understand that and makes them uncomfortable. I think reality is forcing us to see the truth that the Islamists they want to take over. That is who they are. And if you don't get that, if you don't believe that,
Starting point is 00:25:53 it's no different than saying that, you know, what Hitler wrote in mind company, he's just writing. I mean, come on, he's a nice guy. Like, good stuff is happening. The economy's improving. Relaxed. Well, he wrote that for a reason
Starting point is 00:26:06 and he does mean to execute upon that. And so what it says in the Quran, I mean, for example, for example, Muhammad was a warlord. He believed in killing to expand the borders, the caliphate, and he did that. He married, quote, unquote, a girl when she was six years old. He raped her when she was nine. Now, those are facts. Are you willing to accept those facts? Or do you just, you say, I can't, I don't want to hear about that.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Well, you have to deal with this stuff, folks. The way Muslims treat women, are you paying attention? You know, we have this thing now called the internet where you can see this stuff. And you say, those are not our values. Those are not my values as a Christian. Think about how Jesus treated women. Think about how radical that was then. Think about how radical the biblical view of women is compared to
Starting point is 00:27:07 the radical Islamist view. Let's, you know, this is what we're dealing with. If you care about women, so many people say, well, I care about women's issue. Well, you better care about that. If you don't care about how the laws in these Muslim countries are that, that men can beat women can treat. I mean, I don't even want to say it.
Starting point is 00:27:28 It's so horrible. Well, you know, probably Tucker Carlson hasn't read about this, Chris. This is what I'm guessing. He's been too busy reading about it. other stuff. This episode is brought to you by Total Wine and More. College basketball's biggest tournament is coming up. And if you're hosting the watch party this year,
Starting point is 00:27:46 you're going to need to head to Total Wine and More. You can grab a few crowd pleasers, something everyone will drink, plus a couple of options for cocktails.

Starting point is 00:28:10 He'll get there. I hear you, bro. I hear you, bro. He's been busy. All right, well, before we go, I just want to mention about my book. When you write a book, at the end of the end of the end, you have to edit, you know, you have to go through the final edits before it goes to press. And yesterday, whereas the kids say literally yesterday, um, I read the last part of my book.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Now, it's a weird thing as an author because you're working on these parts and you're focused in on the paragraph, on the sentence, on the chapter, maybe, but you don't read it. You don't experience it the way the reader experiences it. But when you edit the book, when you go through from the beginning to the end,
Starting point is 00:28:55 you know, to see that I miss something. Is there a typo? You're basically for the first time reading your own book. And yesterday, for the first time, I read the end of my book called Revolution, and I got choked up. And I thought, well, that's a good sign because, you know, you're writing about it's this epic story of this war for liberty and the sacrifices that people made and the people that died and what they went through. and when they finally win at Yorktown in October 1781, it is so moving. Now, I'm saying the story is moving, but thank goodness when I wrote about it, I didn't get in the way of the story.
Starting point is 00:29:46 And it's just I just got choked up. I said, this is so interesting how when you look at it through the lens of what they survived, what they fought, the people that died, It goes on and on and on, but then finally they win. I was really, I was just blown away by the story. And again, I'm just trying to be faithful to the story. So I'm excited about that. And I'm excited that even though the Amazon page is not, it's not really correct to some verbiage.
Starting point is 00:30:22 I think they say that it's 496 pages. It's way more than that. It's got to be close to 600 pages if my word count is correct. It's like the Bonhofer book. So it's like it's a huge, huge book. It's going to have amazing photographs. And when can people, when can people get it? Well, they can get it now.
Starting point is 00:30:47 I mean, they can get it. They can get it now. But I'm, and I think I said this a few minutes ago, that whatever you, if you buy it from Amazon now, you're going to get the lowest price. So it has some preposterous price. I think it says $45. It will not, you know, I think they're going to lower that.
Starting point is 00:31:03 It's the size of three books. Officially. Well, it is. It is. And I hope it will be used in schools because I guess this is what I need to say. The story of the birth of the greatest nation in the history of the world is very, very, very, very, very, important for us right now. We need to know who we are. We need to know what it is that happened for the emergence of the greatest nation in the history of the world to occur 250 years ago.
Starting point is 00:31:40 We need to understand that. I think we've drifted away from understanding that. We've drifted away from understanding that it really was a battle between good and evil. I talk about this in the book. I'm amazed at the evil of the British. You wouldn't know. normally think of that. But it really was like dealing with Nazis or Roman soldiers. They were viciously brutal. They were not humane. Our side was humane. George Washington was stern in speaking to his officers about how we will treat our enemies. We will not treat our enemies the way they have treated us. It is extraordinary. And anybody who still believes that like George Washington was as a deist, it's like a joke.
Starting point is 00:32:29 I'm amazed that scholars keep throwing that out. They're like, sorry, you might want to believe it, but it's not even close to true. But so the book is, it's available for pre-order, and I'll say again, the lowest price between now and May 19th, when it officially comes out, the lowest price on Amazon, because the price fluctuates like crazy. That's what you'll be charged if you pre-order.
Starting point is 00:32:54 So that's why I'm encouraging people to pre-order. But again, I don't really think that I would be saying that at this point. But it's very exciting. I'll be talking a lot about this in the months ahead. I'm excited to be alive for the Super Centennial for the 250th anniversary. There are going to be amazing, amazing things happening this year. before we go, I just want to say, Chris, you know, you and I were together in Nashville. We recorded some shows when we were in Nashville.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Yeah. I spoke at the TPSA Faith event. Lucas Miles, who's the head of TPSA Faith. Yeah. It was amazing. It was amazing. It was amazing. Danny Toki was there.
Starting point is 00:33:42 The Cedras were there. Now, wait, not Andrew Cedra, who I was with a couple days ago in Orlando, Florida. But his brother. Yeah, his twin brother. And we're going to have them both on along with Albin Seder and his twin as well. Let's see, you know, we're just going to do twin twins Tuesday. That's right. And we're going to have some conjoined twins.
Starting point is 00:34:05 So get ready. Yeah. Let me also say, sorry. So then I went to Dallas and I spoke. I don't remember the name of the, oh, the C3 conference, sorry. And it's Ed Young Jr. an amazing pastor. Whoa, an amazing pastor.
Starting point is 00:34:25 So I was in Dallas, then I went to Orlando, all kinds of style. I've been traveling, traveling. So I'm back here in New York City. This week, I fly to Palm Beach, Florida.

Starting point is 00:34:44 I'm going to be interviewing Dr. Hugh Ross. Hugh Ross is one of the greatest minds. I have ever encountered, and he can speak clearly. He's not so smart that he can't talk because I've met those kind of people. He is amazing, and I can't believe that I haven't interviewed him before now for Socrates in the city.
Starting point is 00:35:05 So that's going to be this Thursday in Palm Beach. If you know anybody, please tell them. It's just absolutely amazing. And then after that, Suzanne and I are going to go to Ocean Reef, Florida? It doesn't pay to come all the way back home. because Ocean Reef is right there. I'm speaking at Ocean Reef.
