And welcome back to the Bill Bennett Show, thoughtful conversation about the news of the day and address the existential threats to America. And we're dead serious today about that.

We're going to talk to a couple of guys who understand those threats and have been thinking and writing about them for years.

Joining me today, Brian Kennedy and Joel Farck is Brian Kennedy, president of the American Strategy Group.

He's also the chairman of the committee on the present danger in China.

Joel Farck is the director of the American Strategy Group. I need to tell you I'm a fellow of the American Strategy Group here in Washington.

But first few things I'd like to discuss before we get to those guys.

Now, I got to say thank you to Claude, I guess, for not scolding me. My son scolded me.

Okay.

So I was talking about the whole Joe Rogan thing. I was on the Brett Fair Show, you know.

Report.

And I said, let me just comment on this. I said, now I don't know Joe Rogan.

I've never listened to a show. I don't know Spotify. I wouldn't know how to get there if she told me.

My son heard it and he said, you know, Dad, you're on Spotify.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

People can hear your podcast on Spotify. Yes.

All right. Enough said, your laughter tells it all. Okay.

Right. Yeah. No. Well, that's just something, you know, always on the job, by the way, I did not hear that comment.

But I will assure you had I heard that on Brett Fair Show, I certainly would have scolded you as well.

All right. Well, my apologies to Spotify, which carries this show, right?

Okay. Yes. Absolutely.

Okay. You know, whatever. Where's my 100 million?

We should talk to them about that. They also carry your show with Conrad Black and Victor Vegas Hanson.
