I 85 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.680 don't know how good they are. I've always been a 86 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.079 little afraid of white castle in general. But a bullet burger. Yeah, 87 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.720 but they could sell fishes, big boys and frozen well. 88 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.079 I think they really do well with the pumpkin pie 89 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.759 because it freezes pretty well from what I've seen. Yeah, 90 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.279 and same with the tartar sauce, wouldn't it.

You become a regular around here. 93 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.680 You were on the Stooge Report last Friday. 94 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.839 Yeah, if I hang around here to get accused of loitering, well, no, 95 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.519 be careful, they might put you on the payroll. 96 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:48.240 And you don't want that. 97 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:52.079 Oh, if you do not want that, because there are 98 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:57.360 certain things that come along with it, certain strings. 99 00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.279 Yeah, the ties that bind. 100 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.759 And so I haven't been on anybody's payroll in a 101 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.160 very long I was going to say, see, you're not used. 102 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.639 Obligations to come with it are just not my game anymore. 103 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.160 So think about it. Well, we've got these few minutes 104 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:16.199 together here in this half hour. What do you think 105 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.199 who do you think was the person of the year? 106 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.480 Do you think time finally got it right with Donald 107 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.240 Trump being named Man of the Year. If you're going 108 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.839 to have an award such as that in the first place. 109 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.360 No doubt, no doubt. Yeah, there's just nothing like this. 110 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.680 What's happened We've I mean I I've lived a little 111 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.920 bit longer than you, Gary, Jeff, and in my lifetime, 112 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.040 if I think back to all the things that have 113 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.279 happened in politics and presidential races, There's never been anything 114 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.240 like this. I mean, we can go back to Watergate. 115 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.160 I was around for that as in my teens. That 116 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.879 was pretty spectacular. But to see this kind of comeback, 117 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.160 that was Nixon's big comeback, of course, and then Watery followed. 118 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.279 But to see this kind of comeback and the attempt 119 00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:02.160 at assassinations and they threw everything at this guy, I 120 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.319 mean everything, and now we're beginning. 121 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.120 To try to put him in jail exactly. 122 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.319 And now we're beginning to find out for doing his 123 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.560 job and dishonest. Those January six hearings were with Liz 124 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.839 Cheney and Adam Kinsinger and all those clowns. They were 125 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:23.560 hiding evidence, shredding papers, destroying videotapes of testimony, unbelievable pollit 126 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:28.879 bureau style star chamber stuff. They use a polite word, 127 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.759 you held back, I saw you kind of bite your tongue. 128 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.199 Stuff. No, But. 129 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.959 The other thing and part of this comeback, I mean 130 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.160 they they impeached him for actually doing his job. 131 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.439 Yes, for speaking to a foreign leader, uh huh, yeah. 132 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.600 About any corruption that may come in between relations between 133 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:56.639 two countries and the United. 134 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:01.000 Perfectly reasonable question for a US president when he's dealing 135 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.120 with the most corrupt oligarchy on the planet, perhaps next 136 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:05.560 to the sort. 137 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.079 But they wanted to make sure that they got their 138 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.800 puppet elected, no matter what they had to do to 139 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:11.360 do it. 140 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.399 Yep, yep. And then you're compare pluding. 141 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:18.720 Stuffing ballot boxes, including massive voter fraud in twenty twenty, 142 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:24.399 taking advantage of a scared public during the pandemic doing 143 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.040 you know, don't let a crisis go to waste, the 144 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.079 old rama manual. And they're bringing RAM back because they're 145 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.120 in such disarray right now. They may never recover there 146 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.159 at this point're in trouble, but they'll bounce back. 147 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:38.240 You know. 148 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:42.759 They're like the people, the scary guys in the Halloween movies. 149 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:46.080 They're always popping back up somewhere around in a closet 150 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.399 or something, and they'll jump out and try and cause 151 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.519 as much chaos again as they can. But what the 152 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.759 other reason, just going back to the pick for Man 153 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.559 of the Year is the profound change This is already 154 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.840 working in our culture, in our entertainment, in our daily life, 155 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.879 in our national and international affairs. 156 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.879 Donald John Trump is the president right now, he just 157 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.320 does not have the power of the executive order, which 158 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:16.120 he will exercise in full on January twentieth, to negate 159 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.240 to reverse all of the terrible policies that were enacted 160 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.799 under the Biden administration. And people are just seeing them 161 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:29.519 walk around, just wondering, where's the president, Where's Joe Biden. 162 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.679 They could have been asking that question four years ago 163 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:37.000 and been valid in asking that question, because he's never 164 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.279 been in charge of anything. It's all been Susan Rice 165 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.600 or some other unseen powers that be in the hierarchy 166 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.039 of the Democrat Party. But now we have a fighter, 167 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.960 a true fighter, not just for himself but for all 168 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.799 of us, you know, as signified by that iconic fight 169 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.519 fight would blood trickling down his face? 170 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:56.240 Yeah? 171 00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.000 And I don't know if you saw it, but the 172 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.320 Wall Street Journal did a blockbuster investigative story the other 173 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.440 day that said, Joe Hiden really wasn't confident as president 174 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:06.519 for the past four years. 175 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.399 And it's like, really, now, you tell us, I mean, 176 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:10.440 we were watching it. 177 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.720 We kind of noticed this if we were watching, And 178 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.440 I wrote in the comment section, I said, so what's 179 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.279 your next breaking news? Going to Dallas was probably a mistake. 180 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.919 For John Kennedy. Really now we can. 181 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:29.519 Tell you jeez.

The Miami Valley and the Miami Valley, beautiful 218 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:33.480 place and clean water. You're encountering. You're encountering for your 219 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:38.519 struggles of people who were very, very warlike. 220 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:43.440 Oh no kidding, The Miami and the shawn and so fearsome. 221 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.320 Even the other Indian tribes would not mess with the 222 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:47.480 Miami and the Shawnee. 223 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:52.159 And they were they were evil to each other before 224 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:53.399 white men ever got here. 225 00:12:53.519 --> 00:13:00.559 Yes, they had perfected the arts of torture, of brutality. 226 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.639 Look at they're a stone age people. They don't have 227 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.559 the wheel. I mean, they've mastered fire pretty well, and 228 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.000 they're really good at using that to torture people. But 229 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.919 you know, for example, it would take hundreds and hundreds 230 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.600 of acres to sustain a Shawnee, a small group of 231 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:24.440 Shawnee people, because they would hunt all of the wildlife 232 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.799 out of that area. And then that's why they were 233 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.080 so nomadic. They had to move to a new area 234 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:33.799 where the wild wildlife wasn't aware of them, so they 235 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:34.480 could again. 236 00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:35.639 But they took. 237 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:40.120 Thousands of acres to support a Shawnee village, whereas when 238 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:44.240 the first settlers came, ten or fifteen acres could support 239 00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:49.159 their family, forty acres could support a whole village, one 240 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.360 d two hundred acres could support a town. 241 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:55.519 It's too late for Christmas shopping on December twenty third, 242 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.679 but if you're interested and haven't checked it out yet, 243 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.919 Promised Land the latest by Peter Bronson available.

Everything else is, 311 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.680 you know, just a cheap imitation of the original. 312 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.359 Now do you spice him up Texas style? How do 313 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:58.480 you do your fadas? 314 00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:02.160 He definitely marinate with jalapenos and beer. 315 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:04.279 And uh yeah good. 316 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:07.519 My wife has rolling her eyes because she can't have 317 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.799 anything spicy in her mouth. Uh she'll start coughing like 318 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:13.960 like she's choking. 319 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.160 Literally, No, yeah, I see. 320 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:20.799 Yeah, I'm not either. But but the thing is, if 321 00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:23.559 you do it right. You can actually flavor them with 322 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.519 the jlapenos and not add spice to it. So you 323 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.200 need to know your audience. And sometimes usually what we 324 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.880 do is we make some that are spicy and some 325 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.279 that are not spicy. You know, any of the white 326 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:36.720 membrane on the inside of the pepper or the seed, 327 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.319 you scrape all of that out. 328 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.880 See I know that, but that's still she she thinks 329 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:46.559 the meat of a jalapeno is too spicy. No, if 330 00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:50.160 I ribon seed it, you should be good. Yes, exactly. 331 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.519 Uh So, doctor, this is a tough time of year 332 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.279 for a lot of people. Maybe somebody who's listening right now, 333 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.119 But do you have any recommendations as someone who who 334 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:06.160 practices psychology for people who are struggling with maybe a 335 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:12.359 loss of a family member or perhaps who knows. Corporations 336 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.400 really don't care much most of the time about what 337 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.319 time of the year they let people go. People struggling 338 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:21.680 with job loss, And it's just it's supposed to be 339 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.599 such a joyous team. It's the holidays season, so hoopedie 340 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:28.400 do and hickory doc and you. 341 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:33.559 Find a word that rhymes with doc, and you you 342 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:34.079 know what I mean. 343 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:39.240 It's just one of those things that I've had some 344 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.960 low points around the holidays, around Christmas before once or 345 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.640 twice in my life, but mostly I've been blessed by 346 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:52.119 God with a great family and enough bounty to at 347 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.319 least sustain myself and sustain my joy. But what's a 348 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.599 recommendation from a doctor John Huber for people who are 349 00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:03.839 I mean, are there any are there any quick fixes 350 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:04.279 at all? 351 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.079 Well, one thing I say is do your best to 352 00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:10.880 not be alone. I know it's hard sometimes when you're 353 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.119 away from family or you know, the bottoms dropped out, 354 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:16.599 but you're not the only one who's going through that. 355 00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:19.279 And the fact that you're alive and breathing, you know, 356 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:22.759 I can testify to this gives you an opportunity to 357 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.440 make your world a better day tomorrow. Just make everything 358 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:29.240 a little bit better, even if it's just one inch better, 359 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:31.400 that means it was better than the day before, and 360 00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:35.359 you're moving in the right direction. And you know it's 361 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.359 a struggle. I mean, people who suffer from depression, you 362 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:40.880 know it's not like, oh, just snap out of it. Well, 363 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:42.640 if you could just snap out of it, it wouldn't be 364 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:46.799 clinical depression. And you have to realize though that some 365 00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:48.640 of the some of the habits, you know, they told 366 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.599 us to do during COVID Stay in your house, don't 367 00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:54.319 be around friends, don't talk to people all that those 368 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.039 are the worst things you can do for anxiety and depression. 369 00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:01.480 Get out there, talk to people, and just be around 370 00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:04.359 other human beings. You don't have to be the life 371 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.519 of the party, you know, just be out there and 372 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.759 realize that, you know, there are people who want want 373 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:13.480 other people around them just like you, even though you 374 00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:14.960 don't feel like it. Sometimes. 375 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:18.119 Well, you know, ken Brew had a guest on earlier 376 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.240 before I came on the air talking about and you 377 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:26.880 mentioned the COVID lockdowns and the mandates and everything else 378 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:32.200 that occurred for a numbingly long time in our country 379 00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:35.400 and in our world and in our lives, and how 380 00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:43.839 much that isolation hurt, especially kids who need socialization. They 381 00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:47.640 need to attend a classroom in person, They need to 382 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:53.119 have interaction with other people, They need to see people's faces, yes, 383 00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.920 and show their own faces and emotions. And we're still 384 00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.640 dealing with that to a great extent in this country. 385 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:04.359 The the hangover from what I called the scamdemic is 386 00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:08.680 really one of the worst morning afters that I've ever 387 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:09.599 seen in my life. 388 00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:14.400 You, oh, absolutely, And you know it's crazy. You know, 389 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.039 we've known for a very long time. We're talking like 390 00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:22.160 thousands of years that covering one's face makes you less 391 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.079 likely to stand up for yourself and significantly less likely 392 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.240 to stand up and help or protect other people. So 393 00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.519 putting on this mask that Fauchi's own research from two 394 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.519 thousand and four showed that it's ineffective at stopping the 395 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:40.519 virus pandemic or any type of a pandemic like that. 396 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:44.839 All it did was make you less likely psychologically to 397 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:48.200 stand up for what you know is wrong. So you know, 398 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:51.559 one of the things I recommend for people is, you know, 399 00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:54.359 if you're sick and you don't want to give somebody 400 00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:57.359 you know, because you might sneeze. That's a perfect reason 401 00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:00.759
