Okay, a lot on today's program. Today is a really important show. I mean, you get a lot out of it. You listen to the whole show, but if you only have a certain amount of time, this is the podcast for you. A Rand's letter before the collapse. This letter, no, I have not heard anybody talk about that. This is a training manual. This is a cry for the universities. Help us, help us, help us. Also, Chris Hansen, I saw this movie because he was going to be on. I asked for him to be on because I've been reading about this movie, and I decided I'd go see the movie. Was it Primetime? Oh, the worst movie, literally the worst movie I've ever seen. I mean, there's nothing in its category. It's so bad.

And why was this movie made? Is it a love for pedophilia, a hate for Chris Hansen? We talked to him about that. And Broken Families and Toxic Narcissism.

You don't want to miss that if you're having a problem with friends or family that have cut you off, all this and so much more on today's podcast.

So, Iran's state news agency posted a 26-page open letter to the, quote, honorable people of the United States of America. Not to the president, not to Congress. It is addressed to our scholars, by name, to our scholars, our students, and our media. They know exactly who it is that they want carrying this message, and who is most likely to carry it for them, here in the United States. The letter says, Iran has won the war, and it lists 12 strategic victories. It says, our bases are ghost towns, our ships have fled into the Indian Ocean. I don't know if they know we have GPS. Our troops ran from their barracks in their underwear. It says 40 million people mourn the late supreme leader, and the procession, if it would have been held in New York, we would have wept as well. Yeah, probably because we would have been like, do you know what you're doing to traffic? Nations that win wars, I want you to know, don't mail 26 pages to the other side's college students explaining that they won, okay? They send pages insisting that death to America doesn't really mean death to America. They assure us in writing that not one store shelf in Iran has gone empty, and they invite us to fly over and see for ourselves. Oh, okay, I'll do that. A confident government does not... Do you think President Trump is going to write them a letter and says, you know, I want you to know, there's cocktail weenies at every grocery store in America? No. You don't brag about your grocery store shelves if you're winning. A confident government doesn't need to do things, you know, and say things like it's a chant.

Now, read closely on this.

If you read it closely, you realize this isn't one letter. This is five letters stapled together, and I will bet you Dugan or somebody else, maybe here even America, help them write this.

So there's five letters. First one is for the left, and it's all about Gaza, the police shootings, prison rates, climate, slavery, the no kings rallies, which they praise by name. Then they have one for the right. Endless wars, the swamp, the billionaires, 40 trillion dollars of debt, the factories that left, illegal immigration. Then one is for the anti-war crowd. Close all 800 bases and bring everybody home. One is for the conspiracy crowd. It floats September 11th as a flag run by our own intelligence agencies. And one is for Christians. It quotes Jeremiah. It quotes Matthew and Luke. And it holds up the golden rule. They even work in the White House ballroom and the name on the Kennedy Center. This thing is absolutely amazing. They are throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, into this letter. Every faction in this country gets a paragraph that sounds like its favorite show.

So what are they doing? They are reading our fights in social media and feeding them back to us. They know you are not going to read this letter.

But they know the college students might read this letter. They know the people like Antifa will read this letter. They know the Palestinian support groups in America on the campuses will read this letter. They know the college professors will read this letter. They are sending this and saying, This is how you help us fight.

Now, a letter written to please everybody is not meant to unite anyone. Okay, it's meant to find the cracks that you already have and then slide a crowbar into it. It is exactly why our Declaration of Independence says a unanimous declaration. We've gone through this before, but we've been here before. We've seen this. The reason why we have a unanimous declaration is because we knew our enemy, King George, would find the crack and then try to split us apart. That's what they're doing. They found five cracks in our society, and they're using that crowbar sentence after sentence. And there's one sentence repeated throughout. We have no quarrel with the American people. We just love you guys.
