I'd like to welcome you to Monday. Hello. We've got such exciting stuff going up this week. It's a little challenging for me.
Starting point is 00:01:00 How do I communicate all this? I want to tell everybody we have Drea DiMatteo.

Starting point is 00:01:40 out. It's very exciting. I want to talk. Chris Christofferson passed away. I want to talk about meeting him. I'm going to talk about that in a minute. I want to talk about what I did this weekend. But I want to share. We have a new sponsor on the program. It's Medashear. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for this? Inflation is hitting everyone hard right now, which you knew, especially those 65 or older living on a fixed income. One of the biggest challenges for the group is called health care. Over the last 10 years, health care costs have skyrocketed. Even with Medicare parts A and B, they're still out of pocket expenses. Believe me, it adds up fast. But here's some good news. You ready? Metashare 65 plus is designed to fill those gaps, helping protect you
Starting point is 00:02:24 from rising health care costs, and it's just $99 a month up to age 75. That's right, only $99 for peace of mind. And with MediShare's solid 30-year track record, you're joining a trusted community of people helping each other. Business owners, pastors, retirees, people just like you, if you're a business owner, pastor, or retiree. So why wait? Call today at 86688 Bible. That's 86688 Bible. MediShare has been supporting this show for several years,
Starting point is 00:02:53 creating a great community of people just like you. Do not wait to save. Call Medishare at 86688 Bible today. And we want to welcome them as a sponsor on this program. Yes. I almost can't wait to get sick. You know what I mean? Yes, I can't wait to turn 75.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Five. No, actually, no, I mean, once, never mind. All right. So there's some things I want to share. This morning I woke up, as I do a lot of days. Not every day, but this morning I woke up and I saw that Chris Christopherson had passed away. He was 88 years old. And five years ago, I had the privilege of meeting him. It was amazing. I want to tell you what I did this weekend. I might have to wait until hour two. But I mean, I'll never forget it. I probably told him. this program once before. But 2019, we had a wedding to go to in Berlin, Germany. Actually, he's in Potsdam. And it was a friend of ours who is a profound Christian. He's a pastor in that area. And his son was getting married. And so we ended up, I'm trying to think where we were before that. We had some reason to be in Europe. And so we thought, okay, on the way home, we'll go to Berlin. And so I had a day in Berlin and I never have any time. Like, hey, what are we doing today?
Starting point is 00:04:11 I never have that happened to me. And I thought, we've got a day in Berlin. What do we do? And I don't know why. But I said, you know what? Let's go to the Berlin Zoo. I never go to zoos. Let's go to the zoo.
Starting point is 00:04:24 So we go to the Berlin Zoo. And if you haven't been to zoo in many, many years, it's exciting to see a gigantic rhinoceros and elephants. And, you know, like if you haven't seen these things in a while. And then we came to the hippo house. The hippo house. Folks, the hippos, people don't know this, but they're like beavers. They can build houses with their tusks. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:04:47 No, the hippo house was built by the zoo for the hippos. And was it built like a German discotheque? But the funny thing is, the Berlin Zoo Hippo house, I don't know if you've experienced this. If you've been to zoos, you've experienced this. Zos are, let's be honest, zoos are usually disappointing. Yeah, sometimes it can be a little sad or depressing. Well, that's one kind of disappointing. The other kind is like, you're like, where are the wildebeests?
Starting point is 00:05:16 Where are they? Oh, they're being fed right now. Oh, their enclosure is being cleaned and they have to be, you know, in an underground case. A lot of bureaucratic excuses. A lot of excuses or where are the lions? Well, the lions are sleeping under that rock that you can't see from here. Or there's always that kind of stuff. And then there's the thing like whatever enclosure they're in is, I don't know, it's poorly lit.
Starting point is 00:05:39 So the hippo house, hippos are, of course, mammals. Yeah. Most of them are mammals. They identify as mammals. But they swim a lot. Oh, wow. Okay? And the word hippopotamus, in some Greek I know this, Potamos is river.
Starting point is 00:05:53 That's where we get the Potomac River. They named it the River, because when they named it, you know, in the 18th century, all of our founding fathers loved, you know, the Greeks. So potomos is river. Hippo, you may know, hippodrome. Hippo is the ancient Greek word for horse. So the river horse is what they call the hippopotamus is the river horse. So I thought this is exciting because hippopotamai, that's the plural, interestingly enough, it's a Latin plural, it's not a Greek plural.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Hippopotamai are gigantic. They're so huge. So we go into the hippo house, which is a dark enclosure with a glass wall with water, water where you can see them swimming. So it's dark and weird and gloomy and murky. And you get in there and you stare and you don't see any hippos. Are you allowed to feed them marbles? I don't understand that. Oh, that's a joke. Yeah. I'm hungry. No, no. I, I, I'm like, crouched down at the glass looking in, are there hippos in the murky water? And, you know, you see a shadow in the, in the distance. And, you know, it's disappointing. So I'm in the
Starting point is 00:07:02 hippo house, crouched up against the glass, I turn around to see where, if my family is there, you know, where are they? And I see this old German guy, kind of gray, whatever, you know, and then I go, wah, that's not an old German guy. No. That's Chris Christopherson. What? Yeah. And I have a talent. I have a talent. Now, I'm not making this up. I've noticed this my whole life. I will spot celebrities no one else sees. You're standing next to them. You're looking at them. I went, Suzanne rode in the back of a limo with Cindy Lauper and had no idea that it was Cindy Lauper. Yeah, that happens. That's, that's how bad Suzanne is at what I'm great at, right? Like, so I could spot a minor celebrity from the back of a head, 100 paces in the dark, and I go, boom, it's, you know, Elaine Stritch.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Right. So I see, I see it's Chris Chris, and I'm blown away. So I walk up to him, I'm like, dude, what are you doing here? Yeah, yeah. And he was like, ah, I'm just visiting the zoo. or something like that. And I said, no, no, what are you doing here in Berlin? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:08:04 He's like, well, I'm playing a concert tonight. Oh. And so he was very soft-spoken, very sweet, and he allowed me to take a picture with him. That's amazing. And so I took a picture with him at the Hippo House in the Berlin Zoo. And two days ago, he passed away. And a friend of mine, I posted this on social media five years ago, and a friend of mine, Chuck Forrest, who now lives in Italy, he was the champion of champions.
Starting point is 00:08:30 on Jeopardy. He was a year ahead of me at Yale, just brilliant. And he sent me this thing where Chris Christopherson talks on a video about this utterly miraculous experience that he has in a church where somebody is preaching and somebody dragged him to the church. In fact, Ricky Skaggs was on this program. I think he knows the woman that somebody dragged Chris Christophis on the church. And he just got. moved in the service that he went up for the altar call and had this Jesus experience. And as a result of that, he wrote the song, Why Me, Lord? And so maybe we can play it in the, if James can find it, but he goes, why me, Lord?
Starting point is 00:09:13 What have I ever done to deserve even one of the pleasures I've known? It is heartbreaking to hear him sing it. So I posted it on my social media this morning, but he had a profound Christian experience. He played that a lot of his conscience. So he was a believer. I expect to see Chris Christopherson in heaven. And I wanted to share that this morning. It was just so moving to me.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Anyway, we've got a lot more to share, I guess, before I go, I want to remind everybody of our crews. We haven't got an update on how many people are signed up. Yeah, it's growing. The list is growing. I think we're going to have some musical guests, and they may play that Chris Christopherson song. Well, Victoria Jackson is going to bring her ukulele.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Yes. She could probably do a concert. She could do that. Well, I will probably sing with her.

But, man, there's a lot that I want to share here. We have in hour one today, so coming up in the next segment, D'Metio, who's start in the Sopranos. It's fascinating what's going on. There are people all over America waking up. They're waking up to truth, to reality, to the fact that they've been lied to,
Starting point is 00:12:48 to the fact that there's this big narrative telling them to shut up. There's people waking up to Jesus, because inevitably, if you're starting to wake up to the truth, Jesus is the truth. So you have things like two days ago, or was it yesterday, I guess it was it yesterday. In D.C., Russell Brand prayed on the stage at this big event in D.C. with Jordan Peterson. Did anybody think they'd see that? Five years ago? Did you think you'd see Jordan Peterson kneeling in prayer? Did you think you'd see Russell Brand praying? What's happening? Eric, what's happening? Is this? Did you do this? This is revival. That's revival. Yeah, I did it. No, this is revival. And the thing is revival always, it's, it's
Starting point is 00:13:35 It's sort of like, you know, capillaries being created because the vein is clogged. The modern-day church is, in many ways, an old wine skin. Now, I'm not talking about all churches, but I'm saying that there are many churches that are, they're just doing church. This is what I preach against when, you know, I talk about it. They're just doing church. They're just like going through the motions. They don't talk about any hot button stuff because they don't want to lose any perils.
Starting point is 00:14:05 which is insane. It's your job as a preacher or pastor to lead your flock, to disciple your flock. That is your job. But they say, well, we don't want to, we don't want to go there. And so they become increasingly irrelevant to your average person. Like, especially people who don't go to church, think, I'm not going to that church. They go through some religious ritual when my, you know, my kids are being propagandized in school where there's lunacy everywhere I look. You almost get the feeling that the word commandments, as in the 10 commandments, with church. trigger a lot of these churches. Like the word commandments is too harsh. Oh, no, they wouldn't, yeah, they wouldn't use that word. Commandments is too harsh. We're all about, you know, liquid love or something like that. I mean, they're, even the names of churches become increasingly preposterous. Like, I'm not going to mention some of them, but, but they just, they're trying
Starting point is 00:14:52 to be so hip and so cool, and they're not, they're not speaking to where people live. So, the idea that you're finding people, we're going to have him on the program, Rob Schneider, the comedian Rob Schneider has become a Christian. Tucker Carlson is talking more about his Christian faith. Everywhere you turn, you're seeing this stuff. So it's very exciting. I think the reality of this sort of this battle that's at hand for the hearts and minds of people is becoming clear. The fault lines are being. Everything's visible now. It's really interesting. So, I mean, that brings us back to my next guest is Drea DiMateo.
Starting point is 00:15:30 So she's one of these people that she's just woken up for the last few years. It's happening more and more and more again. The event that was in D.C., I can't think of the name of it, but, I mean, the headliner was RFK Jr. When did we ever think we would get those kind of people teaming up with MAGA people? Something is going on in America. And in the middle of it, you have Russell Brand praying on the stage with Jordan Peterson. It's almost like you want to start a betting pool on the polymarket betting pools for who the next unlikely celebrity to sort of jump on the bandwomen. think of Roseanne Barr.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Roseanne Barr. She was like, I actually think in 2012, she was one of the people verbally crucifying our friend Kirk Cameron when he was on Pierce Morgan talking about, I believe, marriages between a man and a woman. I think she came after him really, really hard in 2012.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Now, it's 12 years later, and she is like full-on pro-America, it's kind of amazing. There was another guy that just said he was pro-Trump. Tyson has endorsed Donald Trump. Something is happening in this country. The Trump campaign needs to get him as a door knocker because he would be very compelling, you know, if the door, if he knocks on the door. I said, I'm campaigning for Trump.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I want you to pull the level for Trump. If you don't do it, I'll mess you up. Yeah. Yeah, he might say that. I would, how would you say no to him? He really wouldn't mess you up because he's a nice guy. But my goodness. Well, anyway, so we got D.D. Demet here coming up in a couple of minutes.
Starting point is 00:17:02 In hour two, we have James O'Kee. talking about his new film. This is nuts. It's going to be a big deal. This is insane. He was on... I've just seen the trailer every time I see it.
Starting point is 00:17:12 It freaks me out. He went on the border. He was embedded with the cartel. Wow. Like only James O'Keefe is crazy enough to do that. Yeah. Like anybody else... Yeah, we were embedded with, you know, the Border Patrol.
Starting point is 00:17:23 No, he was embedded with the cartel. So anyway, that's coming up in our two. I want to tell people what I did this weekend. But before I forget, we have another new sponsor on the program. I want to read this ad. This is a new sponsor on the program, Tunnel to Towers. Most people listening right now know that many veterans who've served our country honorably are now homeless. Glenda Williams is a U.S. Army veteran faced homelessness along with her five kids.
Starting point is 00:17:52 She was struggling to keep up with rent and basic living expenses. She lived in a dilapidated unit with rodents and mold. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation's homeless veteran program provided, Glenda, with not just shelter, but also a safe and secure environment. where she and her kids could thrive. Imagine what it means to be a veteran like Glenda, to know people like you were there to make sure her family had a safe, stable home
Starting point is 00:18:12 and a solid foundation to build a new beginning. For her family and so many others like them, friends like you make all the difference. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Ttowers at t2t.org. That's T2T.org. T2T.org. So we welcome Tunnel to Towers as new sponsors on the program.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Speaking of sponsors on the program, we want to mention also the Heritage Foundation. They're the ones behind Project 2025. It's scary. It's very scary. If you hate America, Project 2025 is your enemy. If you want to find out what is in the wonderful Project 2025, which the Heritage Foundation is behind it,
Starting point is 00:18:55 they created it, go to www.25-truth.com. That's 25truth.com. It's actually extraordinary. It's a blueprint to reverse America's decline and to restore democracy to its rightful place, which is to say to you and to me to the American people. So that's Project 2025 Heritage Foundation. We are also friendly on this program, most of you know, with the Herzog Foundation, speaking of sponsors of the program. And before I tell you what I did on my summer vacation. I want to mention the Herzog Foundation.
Starting point is 00:19:38 You know that our nation's public schools are in free fall. I mean, I talk to people everywhere I go. I'll talk about it in hour two what I did this weekend. But if you know people who either are teachers in the public schools or administrators in the public schools or send their kids to public schools, it's a war zone. They cannot – there's so much propaganda. It's such insanity that – That obviously I strongly recommend homeschooling your kids. Now, Chris, you homeschooling your kids.
Starting point is 00:20:09 We're doing it now and we're ready to quit. You're doing it now. Well, you need the Hurtzog Foundation. It's hard. It's hard work. Yeah, no. Hurtzog Foundation exists to help you and your beautiful wife. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:21 HurtsogFoundation.com. HurtsogFoundation.com. And there are other families out there. That's sort of the thing that makes it easier is we meet once a week with other families that are involved in it and share. sharing resources and tips and teachers and all that stuff. So it's not, it's not, you know, you don't have to be on an island. There are lots of people that are doing it.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Years ago, they would be like, oh, homeskillers. And now wherever I meet homeschoolers, they are more poised and mature and socially functional than any of the public school kids. So check out herzogfoundation.com. Herzogfoundation.com. Oh, I got one more thing to say. Before I tell you what I did on my summer vacation, Dinesh D'Souza has a film coming out called Vindicating Trump.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Your parents. Yeah, they saw it. Get out. They went to a screening. The week, yeah. And I keep saying to people, it is key, folks. I said this yesterday. I preached at King's Church in New York City right here in New York City.
Starting point is 00:21:24 And even in that, in my sermon, I mentioned, oh, yeah, because I was talking about Bonhofer. I said the Bonhofer film is coming out. November 22nd. It is key that you mark it on your calendar and drag everyone you know the opening weekend. It's a great holiday thing to do with your family. The opening weekend. Folks, mark your calendar. I'm going to keep saying this.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Mark your calendar November 22nd because it matters. Vindicating Trump made by our friend Dinesh DeSuzza. This weekend was the opening weekend. Please check it out. I think, do I have a website? Vindicatingtrump.com. That was a good guess. Vindicating Trump. Actually, I think it is vindicating Trump.com.
Starting point is 00:22:07 It is. Yeah. Yeah. Vindicating Trump. Anyway, it says the movies are searching examination about the real reasons that the left and the Democrats hate Trump so much. They call him a tyrannical dictator as if they even knew what that was. It's unbelievable. They might as well just say nya-n-ya-n-n-ya. Anyway, you can go to vindicatingtrump.com to find out where it's playing near you. vindicating trump.com.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Vindicating trump.com. Okay, so in a few seconds, I'm talking to D. Mateo from Sopranos.

As you know, I was born in Queens, New York. Guess who else was born in Queens, New York? Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Wait a minute. Have you heard of Donald Trump? He's from Queens. What about John Zmirak, who I have on this program, every week? I think he's from Queens. And my guest right now, if you know me, you know I love to talk about culture. I love TV. I love movies.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I love to talk to actors, actors, directors, directors, but I really get to do it. Well, right now, I get to talk to someone who is not only a big deal actress. but was born in Queens. Drea Day, Mateo. Welcome to this program. Hi, how are you doing nice? Nice. Thanks for having me, Eric.
Starting point is 00:26:16 It's great. Listen, it's great to have you. Now, for folks who don't know who you are, you're principally known for your roles on ABC's Desperate Housewives. You played Joey Tribiani, Sista Gina on the NBC sitcom Joey. but to me at least you're best known for being on a little something I like to call the Sopranos for which you want a primetime Emmy, holy cow, very, very big deal. And I got to tell you, Drea, I have mixed feelings about Sopranos, and I'll tell you why,
Starting point is 00:26:47 because there are things that were in it that were so disturbing. It was hard for me to watch. The scene where you are killed, I will never forget that. It was so painful to watch. you were so brilliant in that scene. It was so real. I will never forget it. So God bless you for being an amazing actress and pulling that off.
Starting point is 00:27:11 But, you know, that's mainly how I know you. Oh, well, thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah, I crawled all the way to NBC to commit corporate suicide to Joey. To Joey. I was crawling through the woods, you know. That was always my old joke about that. Well, when we, you know, it's kind of funny, when you said to me earlier that you were born in Queens, it's like, okay, I can relate to you because if you're born in Queens, there's a common sense attitude that I think a lot of New Yorkers have because a lot of people think of New Yorkers as, you know, Manhattan liberals.
Starting point is 00:27:47 But the reality is that, you know, we're not hidebound in terms of ideology. It's just about what works, what doesn't work, who's a jerk, who's not. And in Hollywood, where you have been for some time, it's very tough. I've talked to innumerable people that I've worked in Hollywood. And they're like, you can't save that. I wouldn't, that would be career suicide for me to save that or whatever. You've experienced this a little bit recently. Yeah, it is at the point, I mean, we're just fully censored. We're censoring ourselves now.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Forget about the whole, you know, government censor. everybody at this point. We are so brainwashed now and so afraid to speak out about anything. I was with Dr. Drew yesterday on his show, and I can't remember the numbers, but he gave me the actual statistics of how many people can actually be brainwashed, how many people will critically think, and how many just want to be left alone and pretend nothing's going on.
Starting point is 00:28:55 And that percentage is enormous. And I feel like that is what we're up against right now. And as much as I feel like we're up against this be a myth in the government at the moment. And aside from that, it's the people. It's us. And the way they've been captured, the way their minds have been captured through Hollywood and using media to completely destroy everyone's free thinking mind. I'm really trying to understand this on a different level lately. like almost on a spiritual level,
Starting point is 00:29:27 because trying to discern it right now, like mechanically almost doesn't work. Like how can all of our New York friends who, yes, we are liberals. We were always, but there was a mix of people. A lot of conservatives in New York. There are a lot of Italians are conservatives. My family was always, you know, partially Democrat, partially Republican.
Starting point is 00:29:50 I don't even think your party matters anymore unless you want to fight. Right now, politics are dead. There is a complete capture on both sides. It's a revolving door. We know that. And whoever is going to play ball gets to say. And if you don't, you're going to get shot at.
Starting point is 00:30:07 And that would be a day and pay and everybody before Trump. You can't say shot at on this program. We're going to have to edit that out in post. So seriously, you have awakened to the new reality. And I'm one of the people that has also awakened to this reality. I used to be more concerned. conservative, just like, you know, whoever's the Republican, I'll vote for them. And now I realize, wait a minute, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, there really is a unip party. These people weren't
Starting point is 00:30:36 fighting for what I thought they were fighting for. The Democratic Party used to be the champions of free speech in America. Now they are censoring anybody that is out of line. They're censoring you. They're coming after you. They're sending the FBI to people's doors to intimidate them. The kind of stuff that you would never dream could happen in America. So when you say, you know, almost on a spiritual level, to me, it is on a spiritual level. You're now dealing with evil. You're not dealing with different ideologies. You're dealing with something that makes no political sense.
Starting point is 00:31:08 It just, it's so bizarre. It smells like evil. And I think the only answer is God. So you get people like Russell Brand turning to God. To me, we're in a new day. You bring up, you know, RFK Jr. People are shifting like we've never seen. Yeah, it is, you know, what's scary too is I know that there's got to be a way to pull some of the liberals back to the center.
Starting point is 00:31:33 But if you use God as a way, I mean, for some folks, it'll work. It's like you have to know your audience. You know, I've been chipping away at one friend at a time. People, I mean, I'm getting accosted. I'm getting texts from friends who I haven't heard from in years. And now that Kennedy, when I was supporting Kennedy, everybody was fine with me. because there was still a hippie element to it. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:31:56 Even though they thought he was crazy. But now that he's joined Trump, I'm now a pariah. Like, I'm just, and I'm like, wait a second. You're deplorable. Join the club. We'll be right back talking to Tria de Mateo. Don't go away. There's a revolution happening right above our heads.

Starting point is 00:33:21 I'm talking to Drea DiMetteo. You may know her from this, that. And the other thing, the sopranos, I got to say, Drea, it's just fun to talk. to you because you're saying stuff that a lot of people listen to this program have been through this, right? Where it's so funny where when somebody, when when people were saying, I love RFK Jr., he's speaking truth. And he really was on vaccines. He was being so brave and so amazing. And I interviewed him at something that I do in Manhattan called Socrates in the city, you know, 300 people.
Starting point is 00:33:55 It was this amazing evening. And in that evening, I said to him, I mean, you can watch it. It was fun. I said to him, listen, in the rare event that you don't end up in the White House, because I didn't see that happening. I said, would you consider serving your country in a Trump administration? Because I think that he would unleash you. He has seen how they've come after him.
Starting point is 00:34:17 He would unleash you to go scorched earth on, you know, the FDA, on whatever. And he was not there yet. But the day that he said, I endorsed Donald Trump, heads exploded all over America. We are in a totally new day for Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK Jr. to have shifted over to the Trump camp. Doesn't it just tell you that, you know, Kamala Harrison Company are so crazy that people can't take it? Yeah, I mean, it's the Justice League. It feels like it's the Justice League. It's an exciting moment.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I love how Brett Weinstein sort of, he put it like this on an interview with Tucker. he said, what this whole thing did, the pandemic, was took all of these great minds and critical thinkers out of the institutions and pushed them out. And now they are standing separate from this monster on the other side. And he's like, I like, I like our odds, because these are people that really are still using their minds. And I feel terrible saying that,
Starting point is 00:35:20 because I don't ever want to put down my fellow man and people that haven't realized what's going on. because they're so deceived by the news and just these moronic assessments of Trump. And I had Trump derangement syndrome. So I can sort of understand them. But I can all, because I voted for Biden, and I've never voted in my life. I was so anti-Bush. I was out of my mind anti-Bush.
Starting point is 00:35:46 So, and then I was anti-Hillary because I knew it was just all continuation of the same mania and the same insanity. So I was never a voter. anti-establishment. And I just didn't feel like I was responsible enough to make a vote because I didn't have enough information. Well, I did the most irresponsible thing and voted for Biden when I had TDS over the border because I have a lot of illegal friends. But these are friends that have been paying their taxes. They came here for the American dream. They are living the American dream, trying to figure it out. You know, they've been here for years, 20 years. So now even they are like,
Starting point is 00:36:23 wait a minute, this isn't fair. This is a controlled demolition of the United States. Like this is not, this is not what us sneaking through the border meant. We came for sanctuary. This is like, I mean, I'm pretty sure there was paperwork signed between Venezuela and America to let the jails out into our country. Now, think about what you're saying. I mean, that phrase is exactly correct. Controlled demolition of the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Who would want to do that? I mean, any decent American that loves their family and it can. cares about their neighbors, would they ever, the globalist elites, you're wearing a shirt that says globalism. Yeah, this is our clothing line. Are you serious? That's our clothing line, ultrafree.com. Follow us on Instagram because we're shadow banned, ultra free with two A's on Instagram, but our company is at ultrafree.co. Ultrafree.com. So, I mean, when did you wake up to the fact that it's this globalist uniparty, because I have to say, for me, it was, it was pretty late. I mean, it was really 2020 that I understood it the way I do now.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Like, I just thought, this is insane. The Chinese are setting health policy for the United States. What is happening? What is happening? And I know that Trump is willing to go to war against that. He sees that. Nobody else seems to care. You now have Dick Cheney supporting Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Did you ever think you'd see that? No, and I don't understand why I have it all over my Instagram today. Because my liberal friends are coming at me. Even the, even the conservatives won't endorse. And I'm like, ask him why. Really dig deep and ask why. Don't believe the narrative that's on television. Find out why.
Starting point is 00:38:09 I mean, they're neocons. Everybody left over from the Bush administration, all of that. They are going to endorse Kamala to keep that war machine going. There you go. And it's so obvious, man. I don't know how my, friends don't see it and it blows my mind and it breaks my heart like my heart is broken for because I feel like I call them the left behind liberals now um the left behind liberals like they're going to wake up and it's going to be too late I feel like with this pre-apocalypse game we're in things are going to get a lot worse no matter who wins I think that things will get worse because there's an avalanche coming down by the deep state and just those three you know freedom fighters in there they can't stop it alone it's going to take all the all of us to stand up and say, hell no, we're not going to take this.
Starting point is 00:38:56 And the karma on this country, every coup we've operated, every inside job. I mean, we're in trouble. You've been, you've been doing your homework. How long have you been aware of this stuff? You know, you talk about the coups and the stuff because I was never really awake to it until the last few years I got this stuff. I mean, I was pro-Bush. I really was, I feel horrible now at how stupid I was.
Starting point is 00:39:25 But when did you kind of wake up to this stuff? Well, we, I had a music video called Summer of Rage that everybody can go watch by Shooter Jennings. He was my, he's my ex. And he put a whole album out called Black Ribbons dedicated to the Bush administration. And it was a total, it was a concept album. Stephen King narrates it as the last radio host that all, airwaves will be commandeered, new world order, all of this stuff. He gets shot at the end.
Starting point is 00:39:56 He gets taken out at the end. I always think I'm on like cable TV. I was kidding that you can't say shot. You can say that. It was the adjective before that I believe started with an F or some. Oh, oh, sorry. I don't even know where I am. I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:40:13 I can't remember the consonant. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But anyway, the music video was 2010, where my daughter wakes up, she's in the video, and there's no parents left. Parents have been taken away. The TV screen is telling her, no, don't look at your parents. I will take care of you. I'm in charge now. So the TV screen will raise the child. That was the Bush administration. I posted it during COVID because it was about the video, the song's about mass vaccinations.
Starting point is 00:40:40 And it says, you and I, they'll vaccinate a gas mask is the couture in the summer of rage. They're building mass graves and it's FEMA with all these graves. So it at the Eisenstein. and how our speech is in there. Oh, this is like it's soup to nuts. You get this. We'll be right back. Final segment talking to Drea de Miteo. Don't go away.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Hey, rain and snow on every word. So many things I couldn't know. The clouds got in my way. Folks, welcome back talking to Drea de Metteo. Dr. Drea, you just said, I mean, to me, the blessing of the horror of what happened in 2020 with the vaccines and the masks and the shutdowns and the weird stuff is it woke a lot of people up. It woke a lot of people up.
Starting point is 00:41:39 They said, what's going on? What do you mean I have to get a vaccine? I've seen the disease. It's not scary. If you treat it correctly, it's like a cold or a flu. I've got to risk my life. I've got to take some experimental jab that might kill me. When I posted something about that, just a tentative post.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Like, I don't think it's a good idea. People came at me like I. was the devil. People that were my friends came at me. And I thought, why are they trying to silence me? When I said, I think the election was stolen, they said, oh, you can't talk about that. I thought, it's America. I could talk about anything. I don't have to be right. I'm just saying, let's discuss it. But the attempt to shut down certain points of view, that's what woke me up. And that's what I think woke up a lot of people. I said, wait a minute. In America, we can argue, we can debate the pros and cons of this and that. You're telling me I can't.
Starting point is 00:42:33 You're telling me a monster. I'm a monster if I don't get the vaccine and tell everybody they have to get the vaccine. That's when I think a lot of people began to wake up. And it sounds like you're one of those people. Yes, 100%. I mean, I was already, I already was hip to a lot of stuff. But because I was hip to little pieces, immediately I couldn't. Once you see the truth, you just can't unsee it.
Starting point is 00:42:57 And I think that's really what it was. And I just want to shake all my liberal friends and be like, once you see, and I feel hopeful even knowing that things are so dismal right now, but a lot of my friends that are really just like, wow, we're living in a dismal time. And I'm like, yeah, but it doesn't have to be because if you're armed with this knowledge, you can build a little community and make a difference and change your way and maybe stand up for something that's actually really important. This is in politics right now.
Starting point is 00:43:23 This is humanity and it's at stake. So. I love it. That's exactly correct. That's exactly exactly correct. We're living in a time. We've never been through anything like this. And this is why I think a lot of people, it's such a struggle, you know, for somebody to realize I've been lied to, my government has lied to me, the press lies.
Starting point is 00:43:44 You don't want to live in that world. And so you try to avoid it as long as possible until you finally say, unfortunately, it's true. And I kind of think, but I think with folks like you and Russell Brand, Elon Musk, there's something happening that's giving people permission. I think to switch or to be open-minded. I mean, when Mike Tyson comes out for Trump, there are a lot of people are going to be, wait a minute, Mike Tyson's out, Mike Tyson's, you know, he's not some raging conservative racist.
Starting point is 00:44:15 He's Mike Tyson. The golfer Jack Nicholas has come out for Trump. Russell Brand and Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard. It's just to me something is happening in the culture. People are waking up. I'm sorry to say we're out of time. I'd love to have you back just to continue the conversation. I love talking to people who talk and you like to talk.
Starting point is 00:44:37 And I'm not kidding. Like it's a joy for me. D'Metheo, thank you for being my guest. We'll have you back. God bless you. Thank you. God bless you too. Hey there, folks.
