Basically, 11 00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:34,600 we're in the home stretch of the year. Not only 12 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,920 is it the time of year that we look back 13 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,079 on things like we just did with James Rosen, Newsmax 14 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,679 Senior Washington correspondent, it's also the time of year four resolutions, 15 00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:49,079 right among the most popular is to eat better and 16 00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:53,280 get healthy. There was a new disturbing report yesterday on 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,560 child obesity in America. Not only are we fat, our 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,119 kids are fat. The country has a serious doctor. Jessica 19 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,760 Duncan is a certified obesity medicine doctor at IVAM Health 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,239 and makes the argument for more nutrition education in medical schools. 21 00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:14,599 Apparently people that go to medical school are not getting 22 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,239 that much education on nutrition. Doctor Jessica, good to have you. 23 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,599 Can you walk us through this and talk about some 24 00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:27,680 of the changes that are being made in this area 25 00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:29,159 by the Maha movement. 26 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 3: Absolutely, thank you so much for having me. Yeah, I 27 00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:36,200 think you know. The Maha movement is really all about 28 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,879 looking at some common sense ways to get back to 29 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,680 treating chronic disease, really starting at the childhood level. So 30 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,120 as we know, there's so many reasons why obesity is 31 00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:48,719 such a problem in this country, but really some of 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,959 the initiatives mostly focused on food quality and what we're 33 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,120 feeding our children, and the way in which we teach 34 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,280 children to eat and the lifestyle that we teach our 35 00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:01,519 children to follow is soch an important part to lifelong 36 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,799 health and preventing obese down the line. 37 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: Is it more the quality of food or just you know, 38 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,800 the amount of food or the types of food that 39 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,159 we're eating or the quality of the food. 40 00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:16,599 Speaker 3: I think it's actually both. But if you look at 41 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,560 something like ultraprocessed food, which is a big focus of 42 00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:23,400 the Maha initiative, studies actually show that with the ultraprocessed food, 43 00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:25,759 it actually drives you to want to eat more because 44 00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:28,039 it sort of sets off these or work pathways in 45 00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:31,240 the brain, these jogamine pathways that actually give you more craving. 46 00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:33,680 So it's almost a vicious cycle on the kind of 47 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,520 go hand in hand. We really have to kind of 48 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,000 handle both the quality and the quantity. 49 00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: Uh huh. So the MAHA movement, I mean, for people 50 00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:48,199 that aren't paying that much attention, you just hear all 51 00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:50,479 the negative stuff about it, right, and it's I mean, 52 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,159 it's a lot more than people that may be against 53 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,879 vaccines or not against vaccines. So as a doctor, you 54 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,080 think a lot of what they're doing is moving in 55 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,120 the positive direction. 56 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: Absolutely. I think there's a very common misconception that the 57 00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:12,960 Maha movement is anti medicine or it doesn't work with 58 00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:13,879 traditional medicine. 59 00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 2: I actually, right, that's that's that's what I'm saying. They think, right, 60 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,000 they think it's like they think it's it's anti medicine. 61 00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:25,879 And obviously r RFK Junior is not a doctor, but 62 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,000 he does seem to know a heck of a lot, right. 63 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. So I really think when you think about the 64 00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:34,439 chronic diseases that we're facing in our country, there's so 65 00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:37,280 many that are linked to specifically what we're eating so 66 00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:39,879 why would we not want to kind of focus on 67 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,840 things outside of just medication, So really looking at those 68 00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:46,919 causes and really kind of getting into figuring out why 69 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,960 is this such a problem historically and what can we 70 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,919 do to change things? So, you know, if you think 71 00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:54,039 about it, there's certain cancers are linked to diets, low 72 00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:56,400 and fruit and vegetables. So really, now is the time 73 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,159 to kind of work hand at hand. It can't be 74 00:03:58,199 --> 00:03:59,919 all about the medication. And when we talk about me 75 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,919 making changes, it can't just be about writing a script. 76 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 4: Right. 77 00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:05,919 Speaker 3: We have to give you our patients the opportunity to 78 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,520 change their lifestyles, to make these changes stronger and more 79 00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:11,039 long lasting. To me, it just makes sense as a doctor. 80 00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:15,439 Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned medications because now with all the 81 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,680 easy weight loss options and I'm just going to pick 82 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,879 one randomly that you know, because I hear it all 83 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,560 the time, like wagov is is this a good thing 84 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:32,759 or a bad thing in your opinion? I mean, obviously 85 00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:36,319 it's good that people can lose weight, but down the 86 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,240 line there has to be some side effects to these medications. 87 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,480 Now we have so many people just injecting themselves and 88 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,600 bypassing diets because they can lose a quick ten to 89 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,360 fifteen pounds. 90 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 4: Right. 91 00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 3: So I'm an OBC medicine position, so I'm always going 92 00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:53,720 to tell you that it's a good thing to treat obesity. 93 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,079 But I think you really have to kind of readjust 94 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,240 your framework to consider these medications as one tool and 95 00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:02,079 a toolkit. It cannot be the only tool. So the 96 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,600 idea is for some patients, medication treatment may need to 97 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,079 be long term, you know, for whatever reason they have 98 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,160 kind of genetic predispositions or other reasons why they may 99 00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:14,040 need long term medication management. But when you think about 100 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,240 it as one tool and the toolkit, you have to 101 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,160 think about all the other tools that you have, and 102 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,560 that's nutrition, lifestyle changes, exercise, sleep, managing stress. All those 103 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,319 things have to come together. And if you can slowly decrease, 104 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,839 you know, if you need to have somebody on medication, 105 00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:31,519 maybe slowly decrease the dose while ramping up lifestyle modifications. 106 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,920 I think there's a really good pathway for getting patients 107 00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:37,639 off medications and more reliant on lifestyle modifications. But I 108 00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:39,279 think you have to look at the whole picture. It 109 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,839 cannot be the only tool. Cannot be just using medications. 110 00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 2: For sure, okay, so that is good advice. You know, 111 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,680 as I mentioned at the open, we're coming up on 112 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,600 the end of the year. People are making their New 113 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,560 year resolutions, which is often to get in shape or 114 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,240 eat better or both. And what's this is something that 115 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,079 every TV show, every radio show discusses every year. You know, 116 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,240 What's what's a real key to having success in that arena? 117 00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely, And I think you know, it's really never 118 00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:14,800 too soon to get started. I think, you know, focusing 119 00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:18,240 on looking at your lifestyle and seeing opportunities to make 120 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,240 those changes, even small changes, every day. So I know, 121 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,439 I'm always talking about ultraprocessed foods. So if you can 122 00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:28,120 just start with one substitution for an ultraprocessed food, so 123 00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:31,160 something that's made in a factory, goldfish, maybe, you know, 124 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,759 whatever that may be, chips, and talk about just making 125 00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:36,439 one substitution a day for something that is not made, 126 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,360 you know, something that's the whole food that is not 127 00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:41,160 ultra process usually things that are grown from the earth, 128 00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:43,360 you know, carrots, whatever the case may be, whatever you 129 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,680 enjoy carrots and helms. Making just one substitution a day 130 00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:49,839 and then building on that positive change is really the key. 131 00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:52,160 It doesn't have to be January First Hits and my 132 00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:55,120 entire life changes. Just making one small change, and maybe 133 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,879 you're not ready to make a change in how you're eating. 134 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,160 Talk about your sleep, think about how to change your 135 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:02,120 sleep routine, get whatever you need, eight hours of sleep. 136 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,120 That's gonna help with hormone levels, hunger hormones. It's really 137 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,160 going to have a huge impact. So one small change 138 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,439 and build on that is always my party line. 139 00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:14,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, I did. My own personal doctor told me one time, 140 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,720 the more the more time you spend sleeping, the less 141 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,839 you're eating. And it kind of clicked, you know, I 142 00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:22,439 mean that made sense. I'm like, I'm like, yeah, that 143 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,040 makes sense. You know, the more you're sleeping obviously the 144 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,959 less you're eating. But yeah, just simple things that I did. 145 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,759 See Bobby Kennedy Junior in an interview one time when 146 00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:38,480 they asked him about his own personal diet, he said, basically, 147 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,959 if it doesn't grow or come from the earth, you know, 148 00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:45,279 he doesn't eat it. And for most people that's pretty extreme. 149 00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:48,879 But yeah, maybe you know, instead of a bag, instead 150 00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:51,120 of a bag of doritos or potato chips, have a 151 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,399 banana or an apple, and that could be a start 152 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,040 exactly exactly. 153 00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 3: I love that advice. I talk to my patients about 154 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,279 that all the time. One thing, ideally everything would be 155 00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:01,879 grown from the earth, but it's really hard to do. 156 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,480 Just one small change can really have a big impact. 157 00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:08,079 Speaker 2: Okay, and apparently you have a very popular substack House 158 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,600 and Habit, which I'm assuming is all about nutrition. 159 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 4: Yeah. 160 00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 3: So I was a guest contributor to the House and 161 00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:20,360 Habit substack, and really there was focusing on talking about, 162 00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:23,399 you know, the importance of educating physicians on nutrition. As 163 00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:25,279 you can see, I'm totally passionate about it, but had 164 00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:27,279 to do a lot of learning on my own. Was 165 00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:29,600 not taught in medical school. So really I focused there 166 00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:31,600 on the reasons why I think it's such a great idea, 167 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,240 and which is also part of the Maha initiative, which 168 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:34,519 I love. 169 00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 2: Is there a short answer to why they don't teach 170 00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:40,840 medical students more about nutrition. 171 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 3: I really think that medical school curriculum is so packed full, 172 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,879 and when you do get nutrition education, a lot of 173 00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:50,840 that focus is on vitamin deficiencies. I would love to 174 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,279 see even the small amount of time that physicians do 175 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,039 or physicians and training do get I would love to 176 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,600 see the focus more on how food is medicine and 177 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:01,279 how changing food for certain into these processes can make 178 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:04,519 a big difference, rather than focusing on vitamin deficiencies, which 179 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,000 are so exceedingly rare.

I just wanted to add the previous 371 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,000 color was talking about Leonard skinnerd and they actually have 372 00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:13,359 a really good Christmas CD. It's been out now for 373 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,279 it's like around twenty years, but it's really good. A 374 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,519 lot of people don't know about it. 375 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:25,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm not a Leonard skinnerd expert by any means, 376 00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:28,960 but I am a big fan of Leonard Skinner. In fact, 377 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,759 the very first time that I saw Leonard SKINNERD in 378 00:20:31,839 --> 00:20:36,039 concert was actually at the Charlotte Motor Speedway a few 379 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,720 years ago, and then I've seen them numerous times since then, 380 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,440 just because they're so good. So if it's about twenty 381 00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:45,720 years old, that's going to be Johnny van zand singing right, 382 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,319 this is oh yeah yeah. 383 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 5: And then I just want to add I'll say thirty 384 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,359 eight Special has a good Christmas CD as well as 385 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,400 re Re Speedwagon. 386 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,279 Speaker 2: Oh really yeah, I mean almost almost every band, and 387 00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:02,799 I mean Leonard Skinner is not you know, what you 388 00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:06,440 would call mainstream music, but almost every band that has 389 00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:11,599 that had mainstream top forty ish kind of music, you know, 390 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,759 at some point put out a Christmas album. I was 391 00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:18,759 not aware of Leonard Skinner having a Christmas album. I 392 00:21:18,759 --> 00:21:21,720 am going to have to check that out. Rio Speedwagon, 393 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,400 I you know, Kevin Cronin is just I think probably 394 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,960 one of the best, the best vocalists ever. Whether you 395 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,200 like that band or not, I'm just a fan. 396 00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 5: One thing I like about Yeah, he's really good. But 397 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,480 one thing I like about the CDs, And there's there's 398 00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:41,119 several more, like you said, by other bands. But all 399 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,160 of these bands they put they put some originals in 400 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,519 there and put a little different twist on it, so 401 00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:48,319 you get a little different version, you know, something a 402 00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:50,240 little bit different, you know, for holiday music. 403 00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's I mean, it's literally the easiest way 404 00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:59,319 for any singer to make money, right. Uh, it doesn't 405 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,200 matter how many albums you have or or if you're 406 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,799 a one hit wonder, you put out a Christmas song 407 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,240 or a Christmas album. I mean, it's the easiest way 408 00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:10,599 to possibly make money. But if it is a if 409 00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:12,640 it is an artist that you like or a band 410 00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:15,359 that you like, you know you're going to you're going 411 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,839 to enjoy it. And like you said, they take some 412 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,960 of the classics and they put their own spin on it. 413 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,480 It's always it's always fun. So what's your what if 414 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,759 you had if you had to pick your favorite Christmas song, 415 00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:29,640 would it be one of those or would it be 416 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,599 one of the classics. 417 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 5: Well, I mean I like a lot of the classics, 418 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,400 you know, but I mean we've just we've heard those all, 419 00:22:36,519 --> 00:22:37,759 you know so much, you know. 420 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, our whole life, right right. 421 00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:44,759 Speaker 5: I mean all right, but but yeah, I mean, like 422 00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:47,839 I said, a lot of the a lot of these 423 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,839 versions are are different ones. I will I will add 424 00:22:50,839 --> 00:22:53,920 this real quick one interesting And you might think this 425 00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:57,079 band would have it, but the old eighties band Twisted 426 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,759 Sister actually has a really good Christmas c D H. 427 00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:01,559 Speaker 2: Yeah that. 428 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,319 Speaker 3: They do. 429 00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:06,839 Speaker 5: Oh come, oh you faithful and the music sounds just 430 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,119 like we're not going to take you. 431 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 2: Oh really?

There are you know, 434 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,599 there are so many bands that have put out Christmas 435 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,839 albums with their own version of the classics or their 436 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,599 own or in some cases original Christmas music. And unless 437 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,480 you're a real big fan of that band, you know, 438 00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:38,720 you just don't know about it.

Did you hear the story earlier in the 544 00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:25,359 program about the mayor of mullin South Carolina, If you're 545 00:29:25,359 --> 00:29:29,039 familiar with that small town, South Carolina, the mayor. The 546 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,559 mayor told the people in charge of the city's Christmas 547 00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:38,039 decorations to take down the Nativity scene. Oh no, yeah, 548 00:29:38,079 --> 00:29:42,480 because he thought that other residents in the community of 549 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,920 other religions might be offended. 550 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 4: He's got to be kidding me. That's what I scale 551 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,920 Christian civilization. I mean, at least in the Western hemisphere 552 00:29:54,599 --> 00:29:57,000 as far as final unless they change something while I 553 00:29:57,079 --> 00:29:57,680 was asleep. 554 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 2: Well, not not only that, but you know here in America, 555 00:30:02,079 --> 00:30:08,079 you are you are welcome to celebrate whatever, whatever you celebrate. 556 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,319 You know, you're exactly You're welcome to follow whatever religion 557 00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:15,160 you follow, and celebrate whatever you celebrate. And this is 558 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,799 the mayor. This is the mayor of the town. They 559 00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:20,319 have a committee that's in charge, like they call it 560 00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:21,880 the beautification committee. 561 00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 4: Oh, he should be glad I don't live there. He vote. 562 00:30:25,599 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 2: Well, well, he's been getting pretty well jammed up in 563 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,920 the media and you know from from residents of the county, 564 00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:34,680 from the city's wonderful. 565 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,079 Speaker 4: But remember that. 566 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they refused, they refused to take the woman 567 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,240 that's in charge of it all.

In the news casts, 581 00:31:29,519 --> 00:31:36,319 Brandon Dixon has been playing the story about the announcement 582 00:31:36,359 --> 00:31:42,839 that President Trump made yesterday concerning the aircraft carriers. I'm 583 00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:46,759 going to play the the the entire announcement that he made. 584 00:31:46,759 --> 00:31:52,920 The president is we and the White House calendar, the 585 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,359 official White House calendar had no scheduled events on the calendar, 586 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,720 as it does again today Tuesday, December twenty third. President 587 00:32:01,759 --> 00:32:06,680 has no public events scheduled. There is out of town 588 00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:10,440 media at marra a Lago, which is always the case 589 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,759 when he's there because you never know when he's just 590 00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:17,039 gonna pop up with a surprise news conference like yesterday. 591 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,920 And this is what he had to say in. 592 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 6: Full, and these are the best in the world. It 593 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,720 will be the fastest, the biggest, and by far one 594 00:32:26,759 --> 00:32:31,240 hundred times more powerful than any battleship ever built. So 595 00:32:31,319 --> 00:32:35,160 if you look at the Iowa, the Missouri, Wisconsin, Alabama, 596 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,799 and others, but they were similar in size. Some are 597 00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:41,039 a little bit bigger than the others, but if you 598 00:32:41,079 --> 00:32:45,000 take the biggest one, it's one hundred times more powerful. 599 00:32:46,079 --> 00:32:47,319 Speaker 2: They are longer by. 600 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 6: A little bit, and they're bigger. They're bigger ships, but 601 00:32:52,759 --> 00:32:53,799 they hold much more. 602 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,839 Speaker 2: They use the word lethality. 603 00:32:56,519 --> 00:33:01,119 Speaker 6: Battleships are the largest, sturdiest, and most armed vessel built 604 00:33:01,119 --> 00:33:05,920 specifically for naval combat. While America has built many new 605 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,039 warships over the years, they've they've tended to be smaller 606 00:33:10,079 --> 00:33:17,240 and much smaller and not conducive to where we are 607 00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:22,400 and where we're going and peace, restrength. But including we've 608 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,680 been building aircraft carriers, we're going to be upping that also. 609 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,920 We're going to be going to a superior aircraft. We 610 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,559 have the Ford class. 611 00:33:31,559 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 2: We're going to be upping that to a. 612 00:33:33,599 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 6: Different class of aircraft carrier. 613 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 2: And we haven't built the. 614 00:33:39,599 --> 00:33:44,039 Speaker 6: Battleship since nineteen ninety four. These cutting edge vessels will 615 00:33:44,079 --> 00:33:49,119 be some of the most lethal surface warfare ships. It 616 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,839 will be actually the most ever built. 617 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,039 Speaker 2: Other than our submarines. 618 00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 6: We have submarines, which we'll have in many ways even 619 00:33:55,519 --> 00:33:59,960 more lethality, and we have many of them under construction. 620 00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:06,359 Each one of these will be the largest battleship in 621 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,239 the history of our country, the largest battleship. 622 00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:10,079 Speaker 2: In the history of the world ever built. 623 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,559 Speaker 6: And again it's one hundred times more powerful than the 624 00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:18,360 previous Iowa class it's called. Those are the big ones 625 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,320 that you'd see on a show Victory at Sea. I 626 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,320 don't know if anyone seeing Victory at Sea, but it. 627 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 2: Was a classic. 628 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:30,119 Speaker 6: They'll help maintain American military supremacy, revive the American shipbuilding industry, 629 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:33,639 and inspire fear in America's enemies all over the world. 630 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 2: We want respect, We're going to have it. 631 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 6: We already have it more respected now. 632 00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 2: Than we ever were. A year and a half ago, 633 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,280 they laughed at us. 634 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 6: Now they respect us again at levels that they've never 635 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,519 respected us. We envisioned that these two ships. We're talking 636 00:34:49,559 --> 00:34:52,119 about ten, but we're going to start with two, and 637 00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:55,119 we're going to quickly morph into ten, and ultimately we 638 00:34:55,159 --> 00:34:57,159 think it's going to be anywhere from twenty to twenty 639 00:34:57,199 --> 00:34:58,320 five of these. 640 00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:06,679 Speaker 2: To twenty five aircraft carriers. He didn't indicate how many 641 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,760 billions of dollars. At this point, it's got to cost 642 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,800 a billion, couple of billion maybe to build an aircraft carrier. 643 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,519 I don't know, but uh, with Secretary of War Pete 644 00:35:16,519 --> 00:35:20,480 Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio by his side. 645 00:35:20,519 --> 00:35:24,719 That was President Trump in a surprise news conference from 646 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,920 Mara a Lago yesterday and again no scheduled events today, 647 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,000 but I'm guessing that Rubio and Hegseth are still there 648 00:35:33,039 --> 00:35:35,119 at Mari A Lago with him, so you never know 649 00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:36,599 what's going to come out. 650 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,119 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for this episode.
