| 0:00.0 | Anti-American and prohamas forces hold a giant gathering in Detroit. The president of the United States |
| 0:06.0 | may be on the outs with India, and India may be making some sort of common cause with China. |
| 0:11.2 | Plus, we'll get to all the controversy over the Health and Human Services Department. |
| 0:15.0 | But first, today is the day, folks, my brand new book, Lions and Scavengers, the true Story of America and Her Critics, is out now. |
| 0:21.8 | It's about the ongoing war between those who cherish our nation and those who seek to undermine |
| 0:25.5 | it. The question is simple. Will we be lions who build and defend or scavengers who burn and |
| 0:29.9 | destroy? Lions and Scavengers is part history and part battle plan. How America became great, |
| 0:34.3 | why it faltered, how we can continue to rebuild. |
| 0:41.1 | It's also my most personal book drawn from years in the fight from testifying before Congress to raising a family in a country under a cultural assault from Rome to Jerusalem to |

| 1:16.5 | hate our civilization in Detroit, posing itself as a human rights gathering, of course, but it wasn't, |
| 1:22.6 | because it rarely is. So in the book, I discuss various types of scavenger. There are the leeches, people who seek |
| 1:29.8 | to tear down the institutions of free markets because they believe that they are entitled |
| 1:33.7 | to the gains of others. They're the lechers, people who believe that the traditional family, |
| 1:37.8 | the church, they have to be torn asunder because those things aren't imposition from the outside. |

| 1:48.3 | outside the West, and they see themselves as representatives of civilizations |
| 1:54.7 | that have been laid low by the West. |
