hey folks welcome the program today um i'm going to bring on somebody who was the deputy deputy

0:36.1

secretary of the army.

0:38.4

He's kind of a big deal.

0:39.8

His name is Van Hipp.

0:41.4

He's somebody that I've known for a little while talking about Iran and what the president is doing.

0:46.1

But before all that, yesterday I didn't get a chance to talk about Tucker's comments.

1:04.3

Let's get it again.

1:07.5

I have nothing against Tucker, but he is now doing great harm to the country.

1:13.8

I hope it's not intentional, but he's saying things that seem to me to be designed to play

1:20.6

1:21.9

There are people out there, especially young people, maybe young men, who they don't have

1:26.4

1:58.6

several levels of lunacy, because of course he said it. He says he didn't say it. They play the clip, and he still pretends like, well, I don't know if I said it. So, Chris Heimbs, can you play that? You know, you've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist. I have not said that. On your show, the day after Easter, you noted he did not put his hand on the Bible during his swearing and ceremony as president. You said, and I'm quoting, maybe he didn't put his hand on the Bible because he affirmatively rejects what's inside that book. And then on a recent show, you went further saying, here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods, and exulting himself above them. Could

2:34.8

this be the Antichrist?

2:36.2

I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist?
