Huckabee Today | Mike Huckabee: January 14, 2025 | Huckabee Today | January 14, 2025

And hello from little rock.
00:00:25.617 --> 00:00:27.519
I'm mike huckabee.
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:28.787
You might have guessed that from the show title.
00:00:28.787 --> 00:00:31.490
That's what we would call this show.
00:00:31.490 --> 00:00:33.425
And i've got the wonderful job
00:00:33.425 --> 00:00:34.893
Of talking to some interesting people
00:00:34.893 --> 00:00:36.795
And sharing their knowledge with you.
00:00:36.795 --> 00:00:38.830
Well, buckle up, because tonight we're going to enter
00:00:38.830 --> 00:00:41.666
A world of powerbrokers, secrecy and devious ethics.
00:00:41.666 --> 00:00:46.438
For example, did you know that unseen censors
00:00:46.438 --> 00:00:50.342
Are watching you watch television?
00:00:50.342 --> 00:00:53.778
Will not physically mind you, but your tv choices
00:00:53.778 --> 00:00:57.215
Are among the data
00:00:57.215 --> 00:00:58.316
That is vacuumed up by today's information technology.
00:00:58.316 --> 00:01:02.154
Right now, the censors know that you are watching me.
00:01:02.154 --> 00:01:07.592
Now, that's a good choice, of course, but
00:01:07.592 --> 00:01:10.095
Still, it's a little bit creepy, isn't it?
00:01:10.095 --> 00:01:13.498
All of this information and a lot more is gathered
00:01:13.498 --> 00:01:16.001
Into tailored reports for sponsors and others.
00:01:16.001 --> 00:01:19.371
And the tv data is only a tiny fraction
00:01:19.371 --> 00:01:22.574
Of what the information industry knows about you,
00:01:22.574 --> 00:01:26.278
About your purchasing in stores and online, vacation
00:01:26.278 --> 00:01:29.948
Preferences, traffic tickets, you name it.
00:01:29.948 --> 00:01:33.151
All of this information being collected and used by
00:01:33.151 --> 00:01:36.354
Those that our guest tonight calls the controller arcs.
00:01:36.354 --> 00:01:40.192
Sound intriguing?
00:01:40.625 --> 00:01:42.027
You bet it is.
00:01:42.027 --> 00:01:43.461
Well, meet one of my very favorite guests
00:01:43.461 --> 00:01:45.664
That i've had on for my weekend show, and that's shameless.
00:01:45.664 --> 00:01:48.700
Bruner. he's got a new book.
00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:50.502
It's got the official title of controlling arcs
00:01:50.502 --> 00:01:53.672
Exposing the billionaire class, their secret deals,
00:01:53.672 --> 00:01:58.009
And the globalist part.
00:01:58.009 --> 00:01:59.077
Plot to dominate your life.
00:01:59.077 --> 00:02:01.580
Now, that's a pretty big mouthful.
00:02:01.580 --> 00:02:03.748
Shameless.
00:02:03.748 --> 00:02:04.950
But the book is a treasure chest of startling information.
00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:07.886
So glad to have you come back in and talk about it.
00:02:07.886 --> 00:02:10.488
And i want to get underway
00:02:10.488 --> 00:02:11.523
By helping our audience understand that by trade.
00:02:11.523 --> 00:02:14.392
You are an investigative reporter.
00:02:14.392 --> 00:02:17.329
You work with the government accountability institute,
00:02:17.329 --> 00:02:20.232
A nongovernmental watchdog, and that means that
00:02:20.232 --> 00:02:23.535
You don't just have a feeling about people.
00:02:23.535 --> 00:02:26.238
You dive into data and facts and report what you find.
00:02:26.238 --> 00:02:31.343
You talk about a lot of powerful people in your book.
00:02:31.343 --> 00:02:33.945
Bill gates, mark zuckerberg of facebook,
00:02:33.945 --> 00:02:36.548
And jeff bezos of amazon to pick a few.
00:02:36.548 --> 00:02:39.384
Now, these folks all have well polished
00:02:39.384 --> 00:02:41.853
Public images sculptured by experts.
00:02:41.853 --> 00:02:45.757
The shamus, you kind of dig beyond the exterior.
00:02:45.757 --> 00:02:48.526
So explain what you do in trying to find
00:02:48.526 --> 00:02:50.729
Out who are these people?
00:02:50.729 --> 00:02:53.498
Yeah, that's right.
00:02:53.965 --> 00:02:54.899
Governor, it's great to be with you again.
00:02:54.899 --> 00:02:56.501
I work with a gentleman named peter schweitzer.
00:02:56.501 --> 00:02:59.704
Some of your viewers may have heard of him.
00:02:59.704 --> 00:03:01.706
And our job at the government accountability institute
00:03:01.706 --> 00:03:04.976
Is to follow the money.
00:03:04.976 --> 00:03:06.578
We followed it to, the bidens, the clintons, various
00:03:06.578 --> 00:03:10.348
Government agencies
00:03:10.348 --> 00:03:11.349
And how they're, misusing our taxpayer money.
00:03:11.349 --> 00:03:14.486
But for this book, comptroller,
00:03:14.486 --> 00:03:16.855
I really wanted to follow the money
00:03:16.855 --> 00:03:18.423
All the way to the top.
00:03:18.423 --> 00:03:20.158
A lot of people got the feeling during biden's term that
00:03:20.158 --> 00:03:23.628
He wasn't the one calling the shots.
00:03:23.628 --> 00:03:25.864
And, sure enough, you look at people like bill gates,
00:03:25.864 --> 00:03:29.934
During the pandemic,
00:03:29.934 --> 00:03:31.236
He was basically the one who wrote the script
00:03:31.236 --> 00:03:34.439
That anthony fauci was reading from.
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.075
And, mark zuckerberg,
00:03:37.075 --> 00:03:38.610
He donated, as many people know, $400 million.
00:03:38.610 --> 00:03:42.147
A lot of people argue
00:03:42.147 --> 00:03:43.415
That mark zuckerberg is the reason that joe biden
00:03:43.415 --> 00:03:46.885
Was, named president in 2020.
00:03:46.885 --> 00:03:50.155
And then, of course, george soros is a major character.
00:03:50.155 --> 00:03:53.591
Jeff bezos, all of these, controller marks,
00:03:53.591 --> 00:03:57.162
As i call them.
00:03:57.162 --> 00:03:58.229
They are giving massive amounts of money
00:03:58.229 --> 00:04:00.832
To the government, to politicians to get their way.
00:04:00.832 --> 00:04:04.469
And so what is their agenda?
00:04:04.469 --> 00:04:06.204
I sum it up in one word.
00:04:06.204 --> 00:04:07.839
They want to control.
00:04:07.839 --> 00:04:09.674
And you mentioned, the information, the the data
00:04:09.674 --> 00:04:13.378
That they are brokering.
00:04:13.378 --> 00:04:14.612
Why would they want to know what your tv preferences are?
00:04:14.612 --> 00:04:17.949
They want to know a whole lot more than that.
00:04:17.949 --> 00:04:20.185
They want to know what temperature you're
00:04:20.185 --> 00:04:21.820
Keeping your house with,
00:04:21.820 --> 00:04:23.455
The smart thermostats that amazon puts out.
00:04:23.455 --> 00:04:26.324
And, the ring doorbell camera, they want to know,
00:04:26.324 --> 00:04:29.194
What you're talking about.
00:04:29.194 --> 00:04:30.628
And all of this is to nudge you in a direction
00:04:30.628 --> 00:04:33.698
That you may not want to go.
00:04:33.698 --> 00:04:36.901
You know, a lot of people
00:04:37.469 --> 00:04:38.670
Bought the electronic devices through amazon called alexa,
00:04:38.670 --> 00:04:42.440
And it sounds like, oh, what a wonderful thing.
00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:44.776
Alexa, what's the weather today?
00:04:44.776 --> 00:04:47.178
Alexa, what is the state capital of north dakota?
00:04:47.178 --> 00:04:51.349
And alexa would answer.
00:04:51.349 --> 00:04:53.151
But what people weren't realizing is that old alexa
00:04:53.151 --> 00:04:55.920
Was listening to every single thing going on
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.023
In your house, and people suddenly started saying,
00:04:59.023 --> 00:05:02.894
Maybe i don't want somebody listening
00:05:02.894 --> 00:05:05.063
To every single thing in my house.
00:05:05.063 --> 00:05:07.365
How do people shake off
00:05:07.365 --> 00:05:09.234
From these intrusive electronic devices?
00:05:09.234 --> 00:05:12.871
Maybe.
00:05:13.071 --> 00:05:14.339
Who are innocently using them, not realizing
00:05:14.339 --> 00:05:17.275
That everything they say and do is being recorded,
00:05:17.275 --> 00:05:19.310
Not necessarily for their own good?
00:05:19.310 --> 00:05:22.914
Yeah. it's difficult.
00:05:23.415 --> 00:05:24.916
I mean, i myself am,
00:05:24.916 --> 00:05:26.418
You know, have succumbed to the convenience,
00:05:26.418 --> 00:05:28.853
From time to time of amazon and all of these apps
00:05:28.853 --> 00:05:32.257
And websites and services, it's
00:05:32.257 --> 00:05:34.292
It's sort of like slipping into a warm bubble bath of tyranny.
00:05:34.292 --> 00:05:37.962
What you really need to do is, one by one,
00:05:37.962 --> 00:05:40.398
Cut these things out of your life.
00:05:40.398 --> 00:05:42.033
You need to, find local is really the solution
00:05:42.033 --> 00:05:45.503
To these globalist caused problems.
00:05:45.503 --> 00:05:47.472
You need to find local,
00:05:47.472 --> 00:05:49.140
Things you can buy, support local farmers markets.
00:05:49.140 --> 00:05:52.544
I mean, i know it seems sort of small,
00:05:52.544 --> 00:05:54.679
But the less money that you give to amazon and the other,
00:05:54.679 --> 00:05:58.550
Controlled entities, the more we can take back our lives.
00:05:58.550 --> 00:06:04.088
So what does amazon, for example,
00:06:04.823 --> 00:06:07.625
Do with the information they collect on us?
00:06:07.625 --> 00:06:09.894
If they see that i'm looking at a particular
00:06:09.894 --> 00:06:13.264
Type of mixer or a particular type of,
00:06:13.264 --> 00:06:17.402
Maybe, brand of detergent, i mean, who cares?
00:06:17.402 --> 00:06:23.241
Why would they want that information?
00:06:23.241 --> 00:06:25.643
How can they use it?
00:06:25.643 --> 00:06:27.345
That at some point might have enough various purpose?
00:06:27.345 --> 00:06:32.116
Yeah.
00:06:32.350 --> 00:06:33.318
Well, so initially, i mean, you're right.
00:06:33.318 --> 00:06:34.519
And this is this is what i found time and again,
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.621
Most of the data they collect is sort of innocuous.
00:06:36.621 --> 00:06:40.124
I mean, we all sort of have come to expect
00:06:40.124 --> 00:06:42.794
That, it's for marketing purposes.
00:06:42.794 --> 00:06:44.896
So if you google, you know, new car, now
00:06:44.896 --> 00:06:48.633
You're starting to get
00:06:48.633 --> 00:06:49.834
Advertisements for new cars and the same for the detergent
00:06:49.834 --> 00:06:53.104
And everything else.
00:06:53.104 --> 00:06:54.072
And that way, you know, that's a little bit
00:06:54.072 --> 00:06:55.640
Of an invasion of privacy, but it is what it is.
00:06:55.640 --> 00:06:57.842
We've all come to accept it.
00:06:57.842 --> 00:06:59.477
But really what the end goal is and i talk about this, towards
00:06:59.477 --> 00:07:03.081
The end of the book, the end game of all of this data
00:07:03.081 --> 00:07:05.683
Collection is to a it's to steer you in various directions.
00:07:05.683 --> 00:07:09.854
You you sort of get socially engineered
00:07:09.854 --> 00:07:12.423
Where some of the advertisements
00:07:12.423 --> 00:07:14.058
Are for things that you don't want.
00:07:14.058 --> 00:07:16.094
And some of the content that you see,
00:07:16.094 --> 00:07:17.996
Especially with google and on the social platforms,
00:07:17.996 --> 00:07:20.999
You start seeing content that, goes against your values.
00:07:20.999 --> 00:07:24.302
That's one the social engineering.
00:07:24.302 --> 00:07:26.404
But number two, the whole point of this is for
00:07:26.404 --> 00:07:29.173
I mean, i has tremendous potential to do good things
00:07:29.173 --> 00:07:33.978
In health care and helping, find cures for diseases.
00:07:33.978 --> 00:07:37.916
But it has tremendous power for bad things.
00:07:37.916 --> 00:07:40.885
And so as more and more of our data, it informs
00:07:40.885 --> 00:07:44.155
This sort of, blob of it, artificial intelligence,
00:07:44.155 --> 00:07:48.359
The end goal.
00:07:48.359 --> 00:07:49.260
And these guys in silicon valley,
00:07:49.260 --> 00:07:50.828
They talk about it all the time, is to get to a system
00:07:50.828 --> 00:07:54.832
Of, social credit score, much like they have in china.
00:07:54.832 --> 00:07:58.069
It seems shocking,
00:07:58.069 --> 00:07:59.304
But many of the silicon valley guys,
00:07:59.304 --> 00:08:01.039
They actually admire the system that china has
00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:04.409
Where you can kind of know everything about everybody
00:08:04.409 --> 00:08:06.945
With face scanners and all of that.
00:08:06.945 --> 00:08:08.880
And the ultimate end goal.
00:08:08.880 --> 00:08:10.281
This is according to sam
00:08:10.281 --> 00:08:12.150
Altman of, openai, the maker of chatgpt.
00:08:12.150 --> 00:08:16.120
It's one of the most prominent
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:17.722
Artificial intelligence companies
00:08:17.722 --> 00:08:19.490
Is to get to a universal basic income for people.
00:08:19.490 --> 00:08:23.695
How it works
00:08:23.695 --> 00:08:24.896
Is artificial intelligence will result in major layoffs.
00:08:24.896 --> 00:08:28.666
You're already seeing them start happening now,
00:08:28.666 --> 00:08:31.369
And so then you end up with lots of unemployed people.
00:08:31.369 --> 00:08:34.405
Sooner or later, people are going to be asking for checks.
00:08:34.405 --> 00:08:37.675
And so you combine this.
00:08:37.675 --> 00:08:39.677
It's heavy stuff, but you combine
00:08:39.677 --> 00:08:41.512
This universal basic income of people who no longer,
00:08:41.512 --> 00:08:44.816
Are useful to the workforce with the social credit score.
00:08:44.816 --> 00:08:48.419
And you have a total system of control.
00:08:48.419 --> 00:08:51.289
It's very scary stuff.
00:08:51.289 --> 00:08:52.991
And, you know,
00:08:52.991 --> 00:08:53.725
It sounds like a
00:08:53.725 --> 00:08:54.726
Dystopian future, but it is being built all
00:08:54.726 --> 00:08:57.362
Around us right now.
00:08:57.362 --> 00:09:00.665
Our guest is
00:09:00.999 --> 00:09:02.200
Seamus brenner, and his book is called controlling arcs.
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.637
When you're talking about this stuff,
00:09:05.637 --> 00:09:07.138
It's it's pretty frightening business.
00:09:07.138 --> 00:09:09.774
So i'm going to ask our audience, stay right
00:09:09.774 --> 00:09:12.577
Where you are, some very important questions
00:09:12.577 --> 00:09:15.546
We're going to get into with seamus
00:09:15.546 --> 00:09:17.215
After we take the short break.
00:09:17.215 --> 00:09:18.650
So don't go anywhere.
00:09:18.650 --> 00:09:20.318
This is going to get even more interesting.
00:09:20.318 --> 00:09:22.086
Stay put.
00:09:22.086 --> 00:09:31.000
Welcome back.
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:31.295
We are visiting with seamus bruner,
00:09:31.295 --> 00:09:33.564
An investigative reporter who takes no prisoners.
00:09:33.564 --> 00:09:36.134
And his new book is one you should probably read
00:09:36.134 --> 00:09:39.704
If you're
00:09:39.704 --> 00:09:40.872
Up to it, because it may scare the daylights out of you.
00:09:40.872 --> 00:09:44.008
It's called comptroller dark's all about the billionaires
00:09:44.008 --> 00:09:47.378
Who manipulate men and money for astonishing returns.
00:09:47.378 --> 00:09:51.149
You mentioned briefly, bill gates, before
00:09:51.149 --> 00:09:53.584
In our earlier segment.
00:09:53.584 --> 00:09:55.520
There's something that maybe you can help explain.
00:09:55.520 --> 00:09:57.488
Bill gates has been buying up massive amounts of land
00:09:57.488 --> 00:10:02.493
All through the united states,
00:10:02.493 --> 00:10:03.728
Including buying up some land in my home state of arkansas.
00:10:03.728 --> 00:10:07.799
Why is bill gates, who's all about high tech?
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.803
Why should he be,
00:10:11.803 --> 00:10:13.237
Buying up farmland in places that he has never visited?
00:10:13.237 --> 00:10:19.444
Yeah, it's a great question.
00:10:20.044 --> 00:10:21.312
I sort of stumbled
00:10:21.312 --> 00:10:22.547
Across it by accident when i was reading up on the
00:10:22.547 --> 00:10:25.683
Microsoft antitrust trials from the late 90s.
00:10:25.683 --> 00:10:30.188
In those documents, those court records, i found
00:10:30.188 --> 00:10:33.524
That bill gates had a strategy while at microsoft that he
00:10:33.524 --> 00:10:37.261
He called embrace, extend, extinguish.
00:10:37.261 --> 00:10:41.432
And it was a tech strategy how to, choke out the competition.
00:10:41.432 --> 00:10:45.737
He would enter into an industry.
00:10:45.737 --> 00:10:47.605
And the example in the antitrust suit, it was the internet
00:10:47.605 --> 00:10:51.809
Browsing industry.
00:10:51.809 --> 00:10:52.844
He would create his own option,
00:10:52.844 --> 00:10:55.179
And then slowly, he would extend his reach throughout
00:10:55.179 --> 00:10:58.382
And put it on every single computer,
00:10:58.382 --> 00:11:00.218
Make it mandatory to have the internet explorer browser.
00:11:00.218 --> 00:11:03.354
And then the goal at the end was to extinguish the competition.
00:11:03.354 --> 00:11:07.225
Well, i've seen this playing out
00:11:07.225 --> 00:11:08.860
With him in the farming industry.
00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:10.762
First he enters the agricultural space and people wonder, what
00:11:10.762 --> 00:11:14.766
What is bill gates doing in agriculture?
00:11:14.766 --> 00:11:16.701
And he says, oh, nothing to see here.
00:11:16.701 --> 00:11:18.202
I'm just a farmer now.
00:11:18.202 --> 00:11:19.570
He buys up more and more farmland
00:11:19.570 --> 00:11:21.606
To the point where he has over
00:11:21.606 --> 00:11:22.840
250,000 acres all across the united states,
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:27.645
And making him the largest individual, farm land owner.
00:11:27.645 --> 00:11:32.717
And then he pushes for standards.
00:11:33.417 --> 00:11:35.820
He did the same thing with the browsers
00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:37.388
Where he pushes for changes,
00:11:37.388 --> 00:11:38.823
Sort of like climate change
00:11:38.823 --> 00:11:40.191
Regulations, things that make it harder and harder
00:11:40.191 --> 00:11:43.294
For those family owned farms which are
00:11:43.294 --> 00:11:45.229
Going out of business left and right to keep up with.
00:11:45.229 --> 00:11:48.499
But the key is he's already patented
00:11:48.499 --> 00:11:51.135
And he did this with his software.
00:11:51.135 --> 00:11:52.837
He's an expert at using, patents and copyright law.
00:11:52.837 --> 00:11:56.774
He's got patents on all kinds of crazy things, like meats.
00:11:56.774 --> 00:12:00.878
This is why he simultaneously, once he started buying
00:12:00.878 --> 00:12:03.848
The farmland, started investing in various fertilizer companies
00:12:03.848 --> 00:12:08.219
And then pushing for regulations
00:12:08.219 --> 00:12:09.787
That put the classic fertilizers out of business.
00:12:09.787 --> 00:12:12.190
You just can't use the old fertilizers anymore.
00:12:12.190 --> 00:12:15.293
And bill gates has patents on the new fertilizers.
00:12:15.293 --> 00:12:18.062
He did this.
00:12:18.062 --> 00:12:18.796
He's invested in, several.
00:12:18.796 --> 00:12:20.832
He calls them alternative protein companies.
00:12:20.832 --> 00:12:23.134
What they really are are fake meats.
00:12:23.134 --> 00:12:25.570
Lab grown meats, things like, beyond meats and impossible
00:12:25.570 --> 00:12:29.273
Burgers and things that are even weirder than that.
00:12:29.273 --> 00:12:32.076
And then he pushes
00:12:32.076 --> 00:12:32.977
For regulations that are going to make it
00:12:32.977 --> 00:12:34.679
More expensive for cattle owners to turn a profit.
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:38.282
You know, they whenever you hear, congress, people like aoc
00:12:38.282 --> 00:12:42.987
Say that cow flatulence is bad for the environment.
00:12:42.987 --> 00:12:46.123
Those talking points come from bill and melinda gates
00:12:46.123 --> 00:12:49.093
Foundation white papers that say the methane from cows.
00:12:49.093 --> 00:12:52.263
Therefore, we need to get rid of cows.
00:12:52.263 --> 00:12:53.998
And so at every step of the way, he's trying to make it harder
00:12:53.998 --> 00:12:57.134
And harder for family owned farms
00:12:57.134 --> 00:12:59.503
To make a living and to stay in business.
00:12:59.503 --> 00:13:01.706
And meanwhile, he's
00:13:01.706 --> 00:13:02.807
Growing these, weird patented crops of the future.
00:13:02.807 --> 00:13:08.546
I mean, it's just truly disturbing
00:13:09.280 --> 00:13:12.617
That one person would want to control
00:13:12.617 --> 00:13:14.785
The entirety of our u.s food supply.
00:13:14.785 --> 00:13:18.022
Basically, if not owning all of the food supply,
00:13:18.022 --> 00:13:21.492
Being the biggest player so that whatever it is that he wants
00:13:21.492 --> 00:13:25.696
Ends up becoming the absolute have to do kind of standard,
00:13:25.696 --> 00:13:30.902
And that should be subject to antitrust laws.
00:13:30.902 --> 00:13:34.472
How does he get away with this?
00:13:34.472 --> 00:13:37.508
He had absolutely should.
00:13:37.508 --> 00:13:38.776
I mean, he got away with it in the 90s.
00:13:38.776 --> 00:13:40.611
The antitrust suit settled.
00:13:40.611 --> 00:13:42.747
He learned his lesson, but he,
00:13:42.747 --> 00:13:44.749
You know, he learned his lesson, how to do it
00:13:44.749 --> 00:13:47.451
In, more nefarious ways.
00:13:47.451 --> 00:13:48.920
He sets up consortiums.
00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:50.688
So he's got,
00:13:50.688 --> 00:13:51.822
You know, various consortiums with acronyms that i.
00:13:51.822 --> 00:13:54.025
I won't bore the readers. they're all in the book.
00:13:54.025 --> 00:13:56.193
But he has all of these globalist consortia firms,
00:13:56.193 --> 00:13:58.729
And they meet at the world
00:13:58.729 --> 00:13:59.864
Economic forum and they're doing it worldwide.
00:13:59.864 --> 00:14:02.900
This is why you saw the farmer protests all across europe
00:14:02.900 --> 00:14:06.337
Is they're trying to put
00:14:06.337 --> 00:14:07.571
Out of business the smallholder farms, the family owned farms
00:14:07.571 --> 00:14:11.909
In favor of these factory farms
00:14:11.909 --> 00:14:14.312
That bill gates, he's going to profit from immensely,
00:14:14.312 --> 00:14:16.747
Even if he doesn't own the farmland.
00:14:16.747 --> 00:14:18.649
He has the patents
00:14:18.649 --> 00:14:20.084
On a lot of the fertilizers and other growing technologies.
00:14:20.084 --> 00:14:23.821
He's got a massive investment in john deere tractor.
00:14:23.821 --> 00:14:27.124
So he's he's diversifying his interests.
00:14:27.124 --> 00:14:29.427
And then he's,
00:14:29.427 --> 00:14:30.194
You know, a funny thing
00:14:30.194 --> 00:14:31.195
About the john deere
00:14:31.195 --> 00:14:32.430
Before bill gates, they didn't have to have a software update.
00:14:32.430 --> 00:14:35.166
Farmers used to be able to,
00:14:35.166 --> 00:14:37.068
You know, tinker with and repair their own tractors.
00:14:37.068 --> 00:14:40.338
Now you've got to bring in, your tractor to get it,
00:14:40.338 --> 00:14:43.341
You know, get the latest software updates.
00:14:43.341 --> 00:14:44.976
So that is definitely a bill gates, invention where
00:14:44.976 --> 00:14:48.045
You have to constantly pay for more and more updates
00:14:48.045 --> 00:14:51.048
And you can't fix things yourself.
00:14:51.048 --> 00:14:52.783
That is the m.o.
00:14:52.783 --> 00:14:53.718
Of all of these controls,
00:14:53.718 --> 00:14:55.219
Is to put the small businesses out of business
00:14:55.219 --> 00:14:58.422
In favor of consolidating the market under their control.
00:14:58.422 --> 00:15:04.996
Companies that will control
00:15:05.596 --> 00:15:07.531
The auto industry a few, 1 or 2, perhaps the retail industry,
00:15:07.531 --> 00:15:11.836
And one that will control agriculture and our food supply.
00:15:11.836 --> 00:15:15.740
I mean, that's disturbing,
00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:17.108
But let's let's move to government for a moment.
00:15:17.108 --> 00:15:20.277
President trump said he's going to work on draining the swamp.
00:15:20.277 --> 00:15:23.214
He's enlisted the rama swami, elon musk.
00:15:23.214 --> 00:15:27.585
Is it possible to actually challenge
00:15:27.585 --> 00:15:30.488
Some of the bureaucracy and the practices of washington?
00:15:30.488 --> 00:15:34.058
Are we just being ridiculous,
00:15:34.058 --> 00:15:36.827
Hopelessly hopeful?
00:15:36.827 --> 00:15:40.564
No. i absolutely have faith that, donald trump
00:15:40.564 --> 00:15:43.834
Will achieve what he's promised to, do, which is to get more
00:15:43.834 --> 00:15:47.905
Government efficiency and to drain the swamp.
00:15:47.905 --> 00:15:50.307
And i believe that elon musk and vivek ramaswamy,
00:15:50.307 --> 00:15:53.811
They are two men who know how to do it.
00:15:53.811 --> 00:15:55.780
When elon fired a sizable portion of the twitter
00:15:55.780 --> 00:15:58.916
Workforce, profits went up, the user experience soared.
00:15:58.916 --> 00:16:03.487
And it's never been better.
00:16:03.487 --> 00:16:04.688
So elon certainly knows a thing or two
00:16:04.688 --> 00:16:06.824
About making a more efficient,
00:16:06.824 --> 00:16:08.626
Platform, a more efficient bureaucracy.
00:16:08.626 --> 00:16:11.796
And then vivek, he tweeted something
00:16:11.796 --> 00:16:13.431
That i was so encouraged by.
00:16:13.431 --> 00:16:15.199
And it's so true, he said that, government efficiency is
00:16:15.199 --> 00:16:18.836
Not just like a policy proposal, pitched by donald trump.
00:16:18.836 --> 00:16:22.873
This is a government
00:16:22.873 --> 00:16:24.275
Mandate as upheld by the supreme court of the united states.
00:16:24.275 --> 00:16:28.646
Last year, you may remember, viewers may remember that
00:16:28.646 --> 00:16:32.016
The supreme court overturned something called the chevron
00:16:32.016 --> 00:16:35.419
Deference, which basically, for 40 years, our government
00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:39.457
Bureaucracies, the administrative state,
00:16:39.457 --> 00:16:42.560
Have been ascribing themselves powers and privileges
00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:46.530
And all sorts of, growth and waste and fraud and abuse.
00:16:46.530 --> 00:16:50.835
And that just ended, last year.
00:16:50.835 --> 00:16:53.571
And so the time is right.
00:16:53.571 --> 00:16:55.106
The time is right to clean out these bureaucracies,
00:16:55.106 --> 00:16:58.142
To trim back with a chainsaw, the administrative state.
00:16:58.142 --> 00:17:02.146
Now, there will be legal battles.
00:17:02.146 --> 00:17:04.215
Every single cut
00:17:04.215 --> 00:17:05.382
Surely will result in some sort of a legal battle.
00:17:05.382 --> 00:17:08.452
But the war has already been won, and the supreme court
00:17:08.452 --> 00:17:11.956
Declared it so that that is, very encouraging news.
00:17:11.956 --> 00:17:17.161
Fascinating stuff.
00:17:17.595 --> 00:17:19.363
Seamus brewer has been our guest
00:17:19.363 --> 00:17:21.065
And his book is called controlling arcs.
00:17:21.065 --> 00:17:24.201
I think you might want to get it.
00:17:24.201 --> 00:17:26.237
Buckle up and be prepared to be shocked, surprised, and maybe
00:17:26.237 --> 00:17:29.540
Alarmed by what he has uncovered in his research.
00:17:29.540 --> 00:17:33.177
Now, audience, don't dare go anywhere.
00:17:33.177 --> 00:17:35.412
We're going to be looking into some of your emails.
00:17:35.412 --> 00:17:38.449
Oh, i could say we've already been looking at them.
00:17:38.449 --> 00:17:40.618
We know where you live.
00:17:40.618 --> 00:17:42.019
We know. no kidding. we really don't.
00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:44.421
We only read what you send us and we don't spy on you.
00:17:44.421 --> 00:17:48.425
But we are going to read some of your emails to us
00:17:48.425 --> 00:17:50.861
When we return.
00:17:50.861 --> 00:17:51.996
So when we write back.
00:17:51.996 --> 00:18:01.004
And we are back.
00:18:01.072 --> 00:18:02.274
I was kidding when i said we've been looking at your emails,
00:18:02.274 --> 00:18:04.910
Because honestly, only the ones you send us.
00:18:04.910 --> 00:18:07.913
I don't want to know that much about people.
00:18:07.913 --> 00:18:09.981
I really don't. i want you to have some privacy.
00:18:09.981 --> 00:18:12.617
But here's what you've shared with us,
00:18:12.617 --> 00:18:14.085
And we're sharing it publicly.
00:18:14.085 --> 00:18:15.654
This comes to us from lisa.
00:18:15.654 --> 00:18:16.721
She says,
00:18:16.721 --> 00:18:17.889
I'm reading your delightful book, a simple christmas,
00:18:17.889 --> 00:18:20.458
But a wonderful sense of humor. you have.
00:18:20.458 --> 00:18:22.694
I have to admit, i identify with the patience chapter,
00:18:22.694 --> 00:18:25.931
Or lack thereof.
00:18:25.931 --> 00:18:27.666
I do the same thing, meticulously detailing
00:18:27.666 --> 00:18:30.835
Every aspect of our vacation.
00:18:30.835 --> 00:18:33.672
So my husband, robert, and i don't miss a thing.
00:18:33.672 --> 00:18:37.075
Yes, i to keep asking god to help in that area.
00:18:37.075 --> 00:18:40.812
I figure i'll receive it in the next glorious life in heaven.
00:18:40.812 --> 00:18:44.916
Probably that's when it'll happen.
00:18:45.650 --> 00:18:47.018
Lisa, this is from ruth.
00:18:47.018 --> 00:18:48.887
She says,
00:18:48.887 --> 00:18:49.888
I was watching your show tonight about the media
00:18:49.888 --> 00:18:52.324
And did not know that
00:18:52.324 --> 00:18:53.592
Most people 21 years are older, don't watch tv.
00:18:53.592 --> 00:18:57.996
They get their news from phones.
00:18:57.996 --> 00:19:00.565
Tv media needs to know this if they think
00:19:00.565 --> 00:19:03.101
They can stay on tv to give us the news.
00:19:03.101 --> 00:19:06.371
Most of us seniors don't believe in the media anymore, so
00:19:06.371 --> 00:19:10.242
They should clean up their act, start telling the truth
00:19:10.242 --> 00:19:12.978
And forget about the millionaires and billionaires.
00:19:12.978 --> 00:19:15.814
Actually control the media.
00:19:15.814 --> 00:19:18.083
And this comes to us from ronald.
00:19:18.083 --> 00:19:19.718
He says,
00:19:19.718 --> 00:19:20.952
I watched your interview with melissa harry and i can relate
00:19:20.952 --> 00:19:24.189
Like her 12 step, groups did nothing for me.
00:19:24.189 --> 00:19:28.526
One of my hindrances was the
00:19:28.526 --> 00:19:29.961
Aa mantra once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic,
00:19:29.961 --> 00:19:34.232
I remained a dry drunk, but didn't get spiritually sober
00:19:34.232 --> 00:19:38.303
Until i stopped calling myself a sick alcoholic
00:19:38.303 --> 00:19:41.873
And confessed to being a sinful drunk.
00:19:41.873 --> 00:19:44.843
To my god.
00:19:44.843 --> 00:19:46.311
Beautiful assessment ronald.
00:19:46.311 --> 00:19:48.113
Well, thank you for sending your emails.
00:19:48.113 --> 00:19:49.581
We always love to get them.
00:19:49.581 --> 00:19:50.782
You can send them to us in, comments at mike huckabee.com.
00:19:50.782 --> 00:19:55.387
I've got some final thoughts
00:19:55.387 --> 00:19:56.488
I'll share with you right after this.
00:19:56.488 --> 00:20:06.006
Well, we have a final
00:20:06.432 --> 00:20:07.900
Email that my producers have dared me to read.
00:20:07.900 --> 00:20:11.704
You don't have the guts. one of them said.
00:20:11.704 --> 00:20:13.973
Well, bite me, powell, because here it is.
00:20:13.973 --> 00:20:16.208
This comes to us from donna.
00:20:16.208 --> 00:20:17.710
She lives in dayton, ohio, and says,
00:20:17.710 --> 00:20:20.646
Just a friendly, timely reminder,
00:20:20.646 --> 00:20:22.882
Governor huckabee, soon to be ambassador
00:20:22.882 --> 00:20:24.784
To israel, please remember, you're not just a man of god.
00:20:24.784 --> 00:20:28.654
You're a handsome devil too.
00:20:28.654 --> 00:20:30.990
Hunka b i love you, donna, she says.
00:20:30.990 --> 00:20:34.327
Thanks for seven and a half years. your saturday night show.
00:20:34.327 --> 00:20:37.229
I never missed one episode, not even in the hospital.
00:20:37.229 --> 00:20:41.667
And thanks for your more recent daily show.
00:20:41.667 --> 00:20:44.270
I never missed an episode of that one either.
00:20:44.270 --> 00:20:47.173
Well, you know, the good news is, at least one person
00:20:47.173 --> 00:20:50.276
Is going to miss me.
00:20:50.743 --> 00:20:52.144
Donna, thank you.
00:20:52.144 --> 00:20:54.013
Thank you for watching all of them.
00:20:54.013 --> 00:20:56.282
Well, that's going to do it for us tonight.
00:20:56.282 --> 00:20:58.250
