Speaker 1 (00:00):
Healthcare is a Yeoman right. Colleges and universities should be
tuition free. We have got to make sure that every
woman in this country can't control her old buddy. But
they got the money, we got the people.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Oh, Bernie's got a lot of money. He's doing just fine.
And a lot of Democrats who are in Congress that
suddenly became multi millionaires themselves. You have to ask how
on a government salary somewhere in the two hundred thousand
dollars range or so, that includes Bernie Sanders, that includes
Elizabeth Warren, that includes AOC, that includes Nancy Pelosi, that
(00:43):
includes Joe Biden for his entire basically his entire adult life,
especially from the age of thirty on where he was
one of, if not the youngest senator ever elected. So
ask yourselves, if you go to government to help people,
how do you become enriched in that process? To whom
are these Democrats beholden? How did Bernie Sanders accumulate so
(01:08):
much wealth in the public sector? And my theory, and
I think it holds, is that this is entirely a grift,
but also there's a lot of one hand washing the other.
I'm not telling you anything you don't know about the USAID.
Those efforts have revealed is a lot of superfluous spending
overseas on laughable types of efforts, programs, et cetera. That
(01:34):
there is a cabal involving the Department of Education in
which leaders like Randy Weiningarten contribute dollars donations to Democrat campaigns,
who then in turn enrich the administrators in these bureaucracies.
It's a vicious, endless corrupt cycle. The Republicans are not
(01:55):
innocent at all this, but the Democrats are certainly guilty
because they use the levers of government to build government
bigger and worse than ever before. They want more government
in your lives. The typical Democrat will argue to you
that government is a force for good. Government gets things done.
(02:16):
And I can barely say those things without laughing, because
of course that's ridiculous. What government run entity runs more
efficiently than that of the private sector? Why have ups
and FedEx and now Amazon and other delivery services? Why
have they become so profitable compared to the United States
(02:36):
Postal service? What government run agency is more efficient, more
cost efficient than the same service is provided by the
private sector?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
And the answer, there is none. Because when the government doesn't.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Have to compete, when teachers don't have to compete, when
there's no impetus or incentive to compete, then you are
going to follow the path of least resistance. You're going
to offer the lowest quality service at the highest possible
price because the government doesn't have to compete against itself.
Government workers in a government bureaucracy, and these government departments
(03:14):
are notoriously riddled with waste fraud abuse. It just pure
fat in spending that needs to be trimmed and cut.
And the Democrats used to sing this same song out
of the same hymnal until they figured that that the government,
the bureaucracies, the federal government could work for them.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
That would empower them further.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It's really difficult as a Republican to run for office
in Washington become a part of that establishment. No matter
how you come into it, you are then becoming part
of the establishment.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Even Thomas Massey, even Ran Paul, even JD. Vance.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
But when your sales pitches, I want there to be
less of this thing that I'm running or you to
represent you, and I'm gonna cut it. There's not a
lot of productive incentive from contributors and donors to further
that cause, to shrink the government. Everybody wants more. Everyone
wants more for their pet pork barrel projects. And that's
(04:18):
what government has become. That's what congressional spending has become.
That's why we've run these out of control record level deficits,
both in spending and trade. That's why we have a
national debt that accrues interests and we're just trying to
pay down the interest now, not even toward the principle.
I mean, Thomas Massey has that pin that he wears
that shows the spiraling national debt continuing to skyrocket out
(04:42):
of control. There's no real plan to address that, to
get that under wraps. So when you hear something like
healthcare is a human right, all right, Bernie, who's gonna
pay for it? Who's gonna pay for it? Where does
that money come from? We're going to tax the billionaires.
Not enough money, even if you tax them into oblivion,
and then they'll stop being billionaires, they'll stop creating jobs,
(05:03):
they'll stop enterprising and innovating and developing businesses. You will
cripple that incentive structure. And we've seen this overseas in
different countries, this unbearable tax burd We've seen it right
here in the United States. Companies that were once based
in California fleeing the Golden State for the likes of Texas, Florida, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
What do those states have in common?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Red states with low or no state income tax, with
very permissive regulatory structures that allow businesses to set up shop,
to keep their own profits, to reinvest those as they
see fit. And I'm not saying we should have this
wide open capitalism run amock, no guard rails, no government.
(05:49):
I'm not an anarchist. I'm not a pure capitalist. Let
the market decide las a fair entirely. I lean that way,
but I'll say it this way. I trust private enterprise
in the private sector, private corporations making business decisions for
profit to benefit consumers. I trust that structure a lot
(06:09):
more than I do the federal government telling us that
they know better, they know how to spend our money better.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We know that most of the American people, I think,
are arriving at that conclusion.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
But here's the other one that this one always gets me.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
We know what academia has become leftist and dot in
doctor Nation camps at the K through twelve and the
collegiate level, both Bernie and AOC are railing for tuition
free college.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Explain to me how that works.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Are you going to sit there and tell me that
we should cut professors and administrators' salaries at these universities.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Of course they're not suggesting that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Are you suggesting that we do away with tenure and
professors that are hired in perpetuity and collect federal dollars
in perpetuity? Because the shortest distance between two points and
my view is a straight line. And if you want
to lower tuition cost, then you're going to lower the
price of what it costs to go to college, meaning
(07:11):
you're going to pay your professors, your administrators, the people
on campus less.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
But they don't want to do that. They want to
keep paying more and more and more.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The tuition free crap that means American taxpayer subsidized college tuition.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That's socialism.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Then it's not going to fly in the United States,
at least it shouldn't, at least I hope it doesn't.
The consequences of that action would be catastrophic to our economy,
and it would undercut everything that we would be pretending
to be pursuing in the academic realm. And if we're
already at a point now we're a college degree, I
(07:51):
don't know that a lot of them are worth the
paper they're printed on. Kelly has a college degree. I
have a college degree. But if I were aing a
young high school graduate now on what would be the
best career path today, I wouldn't necessarily recommend college. A
trade school, for sure, something more specialized, get right out
in the workforce.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
The college degree.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Doesn't carry with it the same kind of aura that
it used to, and nor should it. And Bernie's just
he's out there. He's a huckster. He's promising these big things.
They'll never happen, at least not in a sane society.
But it goes back to my question to start the show,
which way leftist men or woman?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Kelly COUCHERA
go new What?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
As I said earlier, they are all adrift.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, they're a band without a director, that's for sure.
And AOC might be stepping up to the mic quite
literally and looking to take control of it. And I
think other people are sensing this now, she made these
comments again. There were rallies both in Greeley and here
at in Denver that Rob Dawson of KOA News attended.
We just spoke about in the previous hour. Here's what
(09:06):
she had to say, in part.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
But we're not going to win a game on defense alone.
We know that, right. We need a strong offense.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
And our offense is an ambitious vision for the future
of America. It's Medicare for all is our offense, a
living wage is our offense.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Tuition free public colleges and.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Universities, and that means that we have to support a.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
New and different movement.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Of elected officials who believe in.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
These principles too.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
She might not be wrong that the left to see
this in this way. It's economically illiterate. It is catastrophic
and its impact on the American economy. Left doesn't seem
to care much about that. Again, this tuition free college crap.
Who pays for it? These professors, these administrators are still
going to get paid.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
The colleges are still going to get their money.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It's just going to be shifted to you and to me,
And we're gonna pay for the college educations of other
people's children, in particular liberal coastal elites who are already
independently wealthy, the majority of whom send their kids to
college because that's not an expense that they have to
really worry about, no matter how much Harvard costs, no
(10:27):
matter how much Columbia or Yale cost.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It is all part of this scheme. It is a scheme, but.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
AOC is tapping into part of the ethos of the
left that is based almost predominantly on anger and dominated
by fear.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
This isn't just about Republicans. We need a democratic party
that fights harder for us too. I want you to
look at every level of office around and support brawlers
who fight, because those are the ones who can actually
win against Republicans.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
But how are they fighting and what are they fighting with?
What do they stand for? EOC just told us part
of that. I mean, this is a communist manifesto. I
don't just say that derisively, but this is.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
What it is based on.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's based on the Marxist evaluation of capitalism that pits
one side against the other, the bourgeoisie versus the proletariat.
She claims to be part of this proletariat. So does
Bernie Sanders. Neither of them truly are. But they're setting
up a different kind of oligarchy, as they like to
use that word now that they probably can't accurately define.
(11:35):
But they just want government empowered, entitled positions of power
that they would dominate, and they would be the ones
to dictate terms and say.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Who gets and who does not get.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's just a shifting of the power and who are
more comfortable being in power? And Elon Musk what we
voted for, what Donald Trump represents. Those two are not
beholden to anybody. They don't owe anybody anything. They're independently wealthy.
They're ball breakers. They're looking out for what's in our
best interests as a country. From a debt standpoint, I'm
(12:10):
still trying to get the whole argument against DOGE. We
need more waste, fraud and abuse in our government spending.
We don't need oversight of any kind. We don't need
an independent arbiter coming in and calling balls and strikes. No,
leave that to the government agencies to police themselves.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Are you kidding me? With that? As corrupt and.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Bloated as those agencies have become, we're going to let
it be at their discretion whether or not they think
they're being wasteful, committing fraud, spending in an abusive way
of funds that are coming into They're going to spend
as much as they can get and as soon as
they get it, they're going to spend it.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
And yet AOC claims that she's above the fray.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
And finally, I believe our elected officials should take on
abuses of corporate greed everywhere they find it.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
How about the abuse of greed within the very government
that you represent, AOC, that's you.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That's you.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
We must get big money out of politics and make
clear that our country is.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Not for sale.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
And that is why I don't and never will take
money from lobbyists and corporations.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
And not so sure about that. I would like to
see the donors to AOC's campaign. Did the American Federation
of Teachers? Did teachers' unions contribute to our campaign? That
would be a lobbying interest. I guess it's just how
you defined it. Well, Senator Alyssa Slotkin, she's been trying
to occupy this moderate lane in the Democratic Party. I
think she's got eyes on even higher office than the
(13:44):
US Senate.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
You might want to consider running for president.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I think that's a foolhardy endeavor, but nevertheless, she has
that ambition, and she was speaking to some gathered supporters
these town halls and kind of become a big deal
now across the country. And she won a very narrow
election for Senate in a very purple state, I mean,
halfway between red and blue. That's Michigan against Mike Rogers,
(14:09):
a very good Republican candidate. And she won by the
skin of her teeth in a state that Donald Trump won.
So it's not like she can go wildly wandering off
into the leftist wilderness.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
She can't.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
She knows that, and so she's got to step in
and push back. You guessed it against AOC.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
On the same week that a poll showed Democrats with
a dismal favorability rating of only twenty nine percent. Many
are facing voters face to face at what are becoming
very fiery town halls. We're talking shouting matches, lots of
booing constituents voicing their concerns about White House policies and
how Democrats are reacting or not reacting enough to them.
In Michigan, Senator Alyssis Lockin took a question on where
(14:49):
the party is heading when it comes to leadership, all those.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Things required to be more than just an AOC. I
can't do what she does because we.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Live in a purple state and I'm.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
A practice Everyone you mentioned has a lot of words.
What if they've actually done to change the situation with
Donald Trump?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
This race is an important question. It reminds me of you.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Dere Caravel, the former member of the US House who
lost to Gabe Evans, what she said in a debate
like I might not personally agree with my constituents, but
I'm going to vote the way they want me to
vote when it comes to immigration. And I was just like,
what are you principled or are you not? And with
slack in the question would be there, Hey, I live
in a purple state.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I can't go wild. What if she did live in
a blue state.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
What if she wasn't a very blue district like say
Rashida Talib in the state of Michigan, a district that
encompasses dearborn, would.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
She then go hog wild?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But the only reason she's not is because it's not
politically practical. Well, then what does she stand for? And
my question to you, Kelly hailing from California. Will the
so called mys or at least those presenting themselves as
such like Alyssa Slotkin, Governor Josh Shapiro Pennsylvania, Yes, Pete
Bootah Jedge.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Will they went out?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Or will it be this radical left Bernie Sanders, AOC
wing that's going to rest control of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Well, I think that's the sixty four thousand dollars question
right there, because you have both.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Fighting for control.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And the answer to your question is, I have no idea,
because you know, you have the moderates that are now
starting to come out in some of those states that
Trump won, but they also won Senate seats for Democrats,
so you know, we've got a little bit of in fighting,
(16:44):
like you mentioned before. So I don't see the progressives
winning out.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I really don't.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Well, I think I'm going to kind of split the
baby here, so to speak, and take your analysis one
step further, and I believe it's in sync with your analysis. Yeah,
Governor Gavin Newsom. Newsom has gone from a far left
position as he governed and how he was elected in California,
but realized that that was not a winning path and
(17:13):
if you've noticed he has tried to distance himself from
the far left. He move toward the middle. He's a
political animal. We've said he's Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.
He's very calculated and he's a literal kind of chameleon.
And the fact that he is moving toward the middle,
I think that's the guy.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I'm going to be following and watching in all of this.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
You could have a very good point.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We'll see where it goes.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
What do you think? Five seven seventy three nine. Send
those texts along. We'll take this time out when we
come back. A legendary man in the world of music.
He was a contemporary and close friend of Elvis Presley.
Pat Boone, at age ninety, joins us. He's written a
new song. It's for a very good cause, and I
had a chance to speak with him earlier today.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
That conversation next on Ryan Shuling Live.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
One.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I am one.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Like no other human being.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I am one.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
In malve meaning there is worth, there is a purpose,
like no weather on this planet. I am one. The
song you're hearing one voices for Tanzania, and the two
voices that you heard, one of many is joining us
(18:35):
right now. Lee Greenwood, the iconic voice that was second,
but the one that led it all off is the
driving force behind it. With a career spanning seven decades,
Pat Boone continues to inspire audiences with his music, this
humanitarian work which we'll talk about in just a moment,
and his unwavering faith in Christ. Now the proceeds from
this song will help fun clean water initiatives as well
(18:56):
as provide food resources, health services, and education for the
people of Tanzania, and he joins us on Ryan Shuling
Live Pat Boone a pleasure and honor. Thank you, sir
for sharing some time with us.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
Boy, you've done a good job, Ryan. I mean that's
what I was going to talk about and say, so
I guess I can go now. No, no, no, I
do appreciate it so much. It's been a labor of love.
I consider it at this point to be the most
important single thing I may ever have done, because it's
(19:31):
going to literally save lives. We know that. I've become
involved with an organization called One a World World Serve
and out of Springfield, Missouri, and they've been at this
for some time now, and they are trying to bring
fresh water to the three hundred and nineteen million people
(19:52):
in sub Saharan Africa without access to reliable, clean drinking water.
Now that water we take, we just turn on a
faucet and we've got water. We can buy bottled water
of all types. I mean, water is available to all
of us anytime, anywhere. But those people don't don't have
(20:13):
any fresh water. They never have had it, and they
drink poisoned water out of ditches and some little streams
where cattle uh frequent, and they and their there are diseases,
and they take home trouble of poisoned water to their kids,
who have a life expectancy now across Africa of five
(20:36):
five years. It's a miracle if they live to be
older than five years. And uh, and so some of
us have become so really terribly involved. I say terribly
because to us it's so terrible a problem, and we're
crucially involved. I should have said, but we're working together.
(20:57):
And I came up with this song, and the Ministry
of World Serve thought it would sound like we're the
world type thing, and we put it together that way.
And we've got many country performers who, like most performers,
no matter their political persuasions or whatever. They want us
to be a country that's united, and we are divided,
(21:21):
and this song talks about that. I'd use the word
one four ways about the individual unique to God, unlike
no other, as finger as our fingerprints, every individual. But
then we are one when we're united, and we're supposed
to be the United States, one nation under God, and
(21:44):
finally one, God himself is one. So I use the
word four ways and trying to make it sound like
a Neil Diamond record, which I think it does, and
then get the right singers to sing the parts, and
they do, and so now the song is available and
you could just that's on all the music servers, of course,
(22:07):
and that's Amazon Music, YouTube, Apple, Spotify. But we want
you to go on your computer or laptop to one
for Tanzania. That's one word O n E FRT A
n z A n I A dot org one for
Tanzania dot org and go to the app and then
(22:30):
a red button appears magically. You click that button and
then it will let you donate five dollars fifteen to
twenty five hundred five thousand, whatever your heart tells you
to do. But what you're doing is saving lives literally
of children who are currently drinking poison and is going
to kill them. But with these with what this song
(22:54):
calls for, these fresh water wells, and they are doable.
My wife and I brought in one into five hundred
foot fresh water well that is sparkling right now. The windmill,
motor driven brings fresh clean water up out of the
soil way down there. But the women who walk with
(23:15):
pictures on their heads and shoulders, they'll go walk three
to five miles to get to some kind of water
to bring back to their kids. Unfortunately, in most cases
the water they bring back is lethal. It's will kill
the kids eventually. So we're trying to solve that. I
know Guy's going to help us and people are going
(23:36):
to respond. And there's a group you hear singing that
we found while we were making the record, a group
from Tanzania mainly, but other countries there, and they're all
naturalized citizens, they're Americans, but they get together and sing
gospel songs in Swahili, their language, and they're singing what
(23:59):
most up One, And they're singing the words that I
wrote in English, they're singing in Swahili and it makes
me cry every time I'm even talking about them, and
I get teary now because they're pleading in their own
language for their own people. They've come as refugees and
effect from those countries and are begging us now to
(24:21):
help them save their own families, their children, the children
to be.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
And we can.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
I mean, all we do is to give what give
them fresh water and they'll flourish like we do, but
they don't have it, and they're sort of up to us.
And so I'm hoping people will respond and thank you
for just playing the song and let me talk about it.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Absolutely, the great Pat Boone with us the voice that
you're hearing. The website one for Tanzania dot org. It's
O for f O R Tanzania dot orgon you can
follow him on acts at the Pat Boone. So many
other artists working together with you on this. I mentioned
Lee Greenwood Pad but also Alabama, Deborah Allen, Billy Dean,
Larry Gatlin, Vince Gill, Wendy Molten, Pam tell us. How
(25:09):
did this all come together and how did Tanzania appear
on your radar this entire cause?
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Well, I had learned first about the world serf entity
and I wanted to be involved with them. They're doing this,
they're meeting the call, they're answering the need. And then
they heard and I had written a song that I
thought was the Neil Diamond Tack song. It sounded like
to me it ought to be anthemic and it needed
(25:35):
to be about something important. And when I described what
the word one can mean in its four different ways,
I knew that was the song. And so did they.
The world serve people, So now they are, They've got
the campaign will be worldwide, and it started two days
ago on the United Nations proclaimed World Water Day, and
(25:59):
so we got the song ready that the people all
came together. As soon as I contacted any of them
by nigh or in person, they all said, sure, I'll
do it. Now. There's others we texted and tried to
get to, like Reba McIntyre. We recorded in her studio
in Nashville, but she didn't hear my message that she
(26:19):
was on the road. And Garth Brooks and so many
of the others would have come on and said why
am I not on that record, And I said, well,
I tried to get you, but then we had to
do it by a certain date and we might, who knows,
we might do a follow up with even more voices
(26:40):
and singing the same song. But we'll certainly if we
do that, we'll have this group from that sing in
their own language, Swahili, leading for their own lives, their
own children, and in their own language, although they're now
American citizens. So that's the story, and I'm I'm just
glad that you're willing to let me share it, and
(27:03):
now I hope people will join us. We can save
lives literally and earn Jesus what he said there in
Matthew the tenth chapter that if you give a cup
of cold water to one of these little ones, my followers,
then my father will bless you. You will get a
blessing if you give a cup of fresh water to
(27:24):
these who are dying without it. And he loves them
just as much as he loves us. So I just
want people to know it and respond. We are kin
to them, We're related to them. We're all created in
God's image, and he wants to father all of us,
and wants us to father each other, to brother and
(27:45):
sister each other.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
You can donate to the cause online again one for
Tanzania dot org. The Great Pat Boon with us, and
I'm committing journalistic malpractice. They call it burying the lead here, Pat,
because I'm having this conversation with you, dropping all of
this knowledge, not only about the cause, but about the
Spotify is a platform, et cetera. My dad is seventy
sevent he's thirteen years younger than you, and believe me,
(28:08):
he doesn't know anything about any of those platforms, nor
does he want to. But my question for you, I
think you would frame it this way too, is that
God has blessed you with ninety years on this earth,
and Pat, just very directly, you don't sound a day
over sixty. What keeps you young? What keeps you energized?
What keeps you sharp? What advice can you give to
somebody like me at age fifty for what I might
(28:30):
look forward to forty years from now?
Speaker 8 (28:33):
Well you may not want to do this, but I
go upstairs and sing to Pat Boone records.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I might have to try that.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
Yeah, do that because God. I once was talking with
my wife shirty some years ago, I said, I don't
know what it is about my voice people like, but
they seem to like whether I'm singing rock and roll
or a country, or a rhythm of ballads, or even
rock and roll or riz and blues, all these things.
(29:04):
And she said, I think that voices have resonance, and
some people's voices just are not pleasant. I mean, you
can they they did the same good things, but you're
not attracted to their voices. But some voices have a resonance.
So I do go upstairs. I am ninety and I
(29:24):
sing to Louk writing love letters in the sand and
Boody River more deadly than the vein. It's nice. You
better come home, speedy Ganza, away from pan Orrrow and
just sing all those songs full voice for half an hour.
And when I come back down, I'm ready to go
(29:45):
do a show if I want to.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Pat, you truly are an inspiration.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I know your time is limited, but I'd really love
to have another conversation with you down the line, specifically
talking about your time in the fifties and your friendship
with Elvis Presley. I know there's so much that we
can cover, but this is a very important cause, looking
out for the people of Tanzania, giving them clean water
to drink, and once again you can find them online
One for Tanzania dot org. Pat Boone. Thank you so
(30:11):
much for your time today, sir, and we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 8 (30:14):
And your voice has a wonderful residence.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Thank you, Ryan, a very high compliment, Pat, thank you
for your time and again One for Tanzania dot org
is where you can go to donate money to this cause.
What a tremendous driving force for good that Pat Boone
is and he always has been his entire life, his
entire career. We'll take this time out. We'll come back
with more here on Ryan Schuling Live. After this, it's
(30:57):
time once again for another edition of Trump's Hot charting
the forty seventh president's epic interactions with the fake news media.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Your reaction to the destroying The Atlantic that said that
some of your.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Top of the Captain visuals and eighties had been discussed
very sense of materials of your signal and included in
Atlantic report.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
What does your response to that?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
In our consion, I don't know anything about it. I'm
not a big fan of the Atlantic. It's to me
it's a magazine that's going out of business. I think
it's not much of a magazine, but I know nothing
about it. You're saying that they had what.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
They were using a signal of warning on sets of materials.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
And having to do with what.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Ho did you do with?
Speaker 8 (31:36):
What?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
What were they talking about?
Speaker 8 (31:37):
With?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Who did you mean? The attack on them?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
It is well, it couldn't have been very effective, because the.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Attack was very effective. I can tell you that I
don't know anything about it. You're telling me about it
for the first time.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
A long.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
God, Come the top if you want roll.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
That's from nineteen ninety seven, an album entitled In a
Metal Mood No More.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Mister nice Guy from Pat Boone, The Ultimate nice Guy
he is. What did you think of Pat Boone aged
ninety there, Kelly.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
He does not sound like he's ninety.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
What a great guy.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Great interview too.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Thank you for that, and I look forward to maybe
having another interview with him because I want to ask
him all about Elvis.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Yes, yeah, the whole Elvis connection.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Well, in nineteen fifty in the fifties, Pat Boone was
like the nice guy alternative to Elvis, who was going
to corrupt your daughters, right, But Pat Boone he was
the guy that you wanted to bring home to mom,
you know.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
He was like as American as apple pie. Very true,
very true.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
But I still think that they had a great friendship
they did. It's it's going to be really good to
have him back on so he can talk about and
address those things.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
One four tenne fr Tanzania. It's the song that he
has written again at age ninety, with a lot of
other collaborators, including the amazingly Greenwood, who we love, of course,
a true patriot and a man who loves this country.
And so does Pat Boon. And you mentioned you still
see Pat Boon on tv ads at age ninety.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Yeah, he does the gold.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Stuff endorsing products, absolutely, and he's going strong at ninety,
hopefully for many years to come back hereon Ryan Schuling Live.
What you just heard from Donald Trump. There's some controversy
going down. The Atlantic apparently was circled into an email
that they should not have been at least. This is
the reporting and what Trump was asked about there. And
(33:41):
Jeffrey Goldberg, who is the Atlantics editor in chief, reported
the following. American war planning usually takes place in highly
secure facilities, but the Trump administration planned its strikes on
the hoo Thies using a group chat and accidentally included
Jeffrey Goldberg, ATLANTICX editor in chief, who apparently had the
same initial as one of the other administrators in the military.
(34:05):
I think Sectef Pete Hegseef had talked about this. Pete
Buddhaje Edge said this on X quote from an operational
security perspective, this is the highest level of f up imaginable.
These people cannot keep America safe. Kelly, what's going on here?
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Is that kind of similar to Hillary Clinton using a
private server to communicate classified messages.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
I think it was more of an error. Yeah, it
sounds like an error to be It's a big one.
If it's true, it's big.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
But Trump seemed to have dismiss it out of hand
because the strike on the hoo Thies was successful.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
So not sure how to sort all this out quite Yeah,
but maybe Dan Campbelli's to do more of that. And
appreciate all of you tuning in today, Appreciate Kelly being alongside.
Appreciate Rob Dawson offering his perspective on the Bernie aoc
rally in Denver that he was covering, as well well
as the March Madness that he and I were both
attending at Ballerina in Denver, and of course are sincere
(35:05):
thanks to Pat Boone, the music legend who joined me
for a brief time on this program today and hoping
you have many conversations ahead in the future with him
as well. That'll do it for me from here for now,
I'll talk to you tomorrow. Here I'm Ryan Shulding Live
Healthcare is a Yeoman right. Colleges and universities should be
tuition free. We have got to make sure that every
woman in this country can't control her old buddy. But
they got the money, we got the people.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Oh, Bernie's got a lot of money. He's doing just fine.
And a lot of Democrats who are in Congress that
suddenly became multi millionaires themselves. You have to ask how
on a government salary somewhere in the two hundred thousand
dollars range or so, that includes Bernie Sanders, that includes
Elizabeth Warren, that includes AOC, that includes Nancy Pelosi, that
(00:43):
includes Joe Biden for his entire basically his entire adult life,
especially from the age of thirty on where he was
one of, if not the youngest senator ever elected. So
ask yourselves, if you go to government to help people,
how do you become enriched in that process? To whom
are these Democrats beholden? How did Bernie Sanders accumulate so
(01:08):
much wealth in the public sector? And my theory, and
I think it holds, is that this is entirely a grift,
but also there's a lot of one hand washing the other.
I'm not telling you anything you don't know about the USAID.
Those efforts have revealed is a lot of superfluous spending
overseas on laughable types of efforts, programs, et cetera. That
(01:34):
there is a cabal involving the Department of Education in
which leaders like Randy Weiningarten contribute dollars donations to Democrat campaigns,
who then in turn enrich the administrators in these bureaucracies.
It's a vicious, endless corrupt cycle. The Republicans are not
(01:55):
innocent at all this, but the Democrats are certainly guilty
because they use the levers of government to build government
bigger and worse than ever before. They want more government
in your lives. The typical Democrat will argue to you
that government is a force for good. Government gets things done.
(02:16):
And I can barely say those things without laughing, because
of course that's ridiculous. What government run entity runs more
efficiently than that of the private sector? Why have ups
and FedEx and now Amazon and other delivery services? Why
have they become so profitable compared to the United States
(02:36):
Postal service? What government run agency is more efficient, more
cost efficient than the same service is provided by the
private sector?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
And the answer, there is none. Because when the government doesn't.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Have to compete, when teachers don't have to compete, when
there's no impetus or incentive to compete, then you are
going to follow the path of least resistance. You're going
to offer the lowest quality service at the highest possible
price because the government doesn't have to compete against itself.
Government workers in a government bureaucracy, and these government departments
(03:14):
are notoriously riddled with waste fraud abuse. It just pure
fat in spending that needs to be trimmed and cut.
And the Democrats used to sing this same song out
of the same hymnal until they figured that that the government,
the bureaucracies, the federal government could work for them.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
That would empower them further.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It's really difficult as a Republican to run for office
in Washington become a part of that establishment. No matter
how you come into it, you are then becoming part
of the establishment.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Even Thomas Massey, even Ran Paul, even JD. Vance.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
But when your sales pitches, I want there to be
less of this thing that I'm running or you to
represent you, and I'm gonna cut it. There's not a
lot of productive incentive from contributors and donors to further
that cause, to shrink the government. Everybody wants more. Everyone
wants more for their pet pork barrel projects. And that's
(04:18):
what government has become. That's what congressional spending has become.
That's why we've run these out of control record level deficits,
both in spending and trade. That's why we have a
national debt that accrues interests and we're just trying to
pay down the interest now, not even toward the principle.
I mean, Thomas Massey has that pin that he wears
that shows the spiraling national debt continuing to skyrocket out
(04:42):
of control. There's no real plan to address that, to
get that under wraps. So when you hear something like
healthcare is a human right, all right, Bernie, who's gonna
pay for it? Who's gonna pay for it? Where does
that money come from? We're going to tax the billionaires.
Not enough money, even if you tax them into oblivion,
and then they'll stop being billionaires, they'll stop creating jobs,
(05:03):
they'll stop enterprising and innovating and developing businesses. You will
cripple that incentive structure. And we've seen this overseas in
different countries, this unbearable tax burd We've seen it right
here in the United States. Companies that were once based
in California fleeing the Golden State for the likes of Texas, Florida, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
What do those states have in common?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Red states with low or no state income tax, with
very permissive regulatory structures that allow businesses to set up shop,
to keep their own profits, to reinvest those as they
see fit. And I'm not saying we should have this
wide open capitalism run amock, no guard rails, no government.
(05:49):
I'm not an anarchist. I'm not a pure capitalist. Let
the market decide las a fair entirely. I lean that way,
but I'll say it this way. I trust private enterprise
in the private sector, private corporations making business decisions for
profit to benefit consumers. I trust that structure a lot
(06:09):
more than I do the federal government telling us that
they know better, they know how to spend our money better.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We know that most of the American people, I think,
are arriving at that conclusion.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
But here's the other one that this one always gets me.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
We know what academia has become leftist and dot in
doctor Nation camps at the K through twelve and the
collegiate level, both Bernie and AOC are railing for tuition
free college.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Explain to me how that works.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Are you going to sit there and tell me that
we should cut professors and administrators' salaries at these universities.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Of course they're not suggesting that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Are you suggesting that we do away with tenure and
professors that are hired in perpetuity and collect federal dollars
in perpetuity? Because the shortest distance between two points and
my view is a straight line. And if you want
to lower tuition cost, then you're going to lower the
price of what it costs to go to college, meaning
(07:11):
you're going to pay your professors, your administrators, the people
on campus less.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
But they don't want to do that. They want to
keep paying more and more and more.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The tuition free crap that means American taxpayer subsidized college tuition.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That's socialism.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Then it's not going to fly in the United States,
at least it shouldn't, at least I hope it doesn't.
The consequences of that action would be catastrophic to our economy,
and it would undercut everything that we would be pretending
to be pursuing in the academic realm. And if we're
already at a point now we're a college degree, I
(07:51):
don't know that a lot of them are worth the
paper they're printed on. Kelly has a college degree. I
have a college degree. But if I were aing a
young high school graduate now on what would be the
best career path today, I wouldn't necessarily recommend college. A
trade school, for sure, something more specialized, get right out
in the workforce.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
The college degree.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Doesn't carry with it the same kind of aura that
it used to, and nor should it. And Bernie's just
he's out there. He's a huckster. He's promising these big things.
They'll never happen, at least not in a sane society.
But it goes back to my question to start the show,
which way leftist men or woman?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Kelly COUCHERA
go new What?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
As I said earlier, they are all adrift.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, they're a band without a director, that's for sure.
And AOC might be stepping up to the mic quite
literally and looking to take control of it. And I
think other people are sensing this now, she made these
comments again. There were rallies both in Greeley and here
at in Denver that Rob Dawson of KOA News attended.
We just spoke about in the previous hour. Here's what
(09:06):
she had to say, in part.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
But we're not going to win a game on defense alone.
We know that, right. We need a strong offense.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
And our offense is an ambitious vision for the future
of America. It's Medicare for all is our offense, a
living wage is our offense.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Tuition free public colleges and.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Universities, and that means that we have to support a.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
New and different movement.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Of elected officials who believe in.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
These principles too.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
She might not be wrong that the left to see
this in this way. It's economically illiterate. It is catastrophic
and its impact on the American economy. Left doesn't seem
to care much about that. Again, this tuition free college crap.
Who pays for it? These professors, these administrators are still
going to get paid.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
The colleges are still going to get their money.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It's just going to be shifted to you and to me,
And we're gonna pay for the college educations of other
people's children, in particular liberal coastal elites who are already
independently wealthy, the majority of whom send their kids to
college because that's not an expense that they have to
really worry about, no matter how much Harvard costs, no
(10:27):
matter how much Columbia or Yale cost.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It is all part of this scheme. It is a scheme, but.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
AOC is tapping into part of the ethos of the
left that is based almost predominantly on anger and dominated
by fear.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
This isn't just about Republicans. We need a democratic party
that fights harder for us too. I want you to
look at every level of office around and support brawlers
who fight, because those are the ones who can actually
win against Republicans.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
But how are they fighting and what are they fighting with?
What do they stand for? EOC just told us part
of that. I mean, this is a communist manifesto. I
don't just say that derisively, but this is.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
What it is based on.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's based on the Marxist evaluation of capitalism that pits
one side against the other, the bourgeoisie versus the proletariat.
She claims to be part of this proletariat. So does
Bernie Sanders. Neither of them truly are. But they're setting
up a different kind of oligarchy, as they like to
use that word now that they probably can't accurately define.
(11:35):
But they just want government empowered, entitled positions of power
that they would dominate, and they would be the ones
to dictate terms and say.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Who gets and who does not get.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's just a shifting of the power and who are
more comfortable being in power? And Elon Musk what we
voted for, what Donald Trump represents. Those two are not
beholden to anybody. They don't owe anybody anything. They're independently wealthy.
They're ball breakers. They're looking out for what's in our
best interests as a country. From a debt standpoint, I'm
(12:10):
still trying to get the whole argument against DOGE. We
need more waste, fraud and abuse in our government spending.
We don't need oversight of any kind. We don't need
an independent arbiter coming in and calling balls and strikes. No,
leave that to the government agencies to police themselves.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Are you kidding me? With that? As corrupt and.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Bloated as those agencies have become, we're going to let
it be at their discretion whether or not they think
they're being wasteful, committing fraud, spending in an abusive way
of funds that are coming into They're going to spend
as much as they can get and as soon as
they get it, they're going to spend it.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
And yet AOC claims that she's above the fray.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
And finally, I believe our elected officials should take on
abuses of corporate greed everywhere they find it.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
How about the abuse of greed within the very government
that you represent, AOC, that's you.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That's you.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
We must get big money out of politics and make
clear that our country is.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Not for sale.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
And that is why I don't and never will take
money from lobbyists and corporations.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
And not so sure about that. I would like to
see the donors to AOC's campaign. Did the American Federation
of Teachers? Did teachers' unions contribute to our campaign? That
would be a lobbying interest. I guess it's just how
you defined it. Well, Senator Alyssa Slotkin, she's been trying
to occupy this moderate lane in the Democratic Party. I
think she's got eyes on even higher office than the
(13:44):
US Senate.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
You might want to consider running for president.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I think that's a foolhardy endeavor, but nevertheless, she has
that ambition, and she was speaking to some gathered supporters
these town halls and kind of become a big deal
now across the country. And she won a very narrow
election for Senate in a very purple state, I mean,
halfway between red and blue. That's Michigan against Mike Rogers,
(14:09):
a very good Republican candidate. And she won by the
skin of her teeth in a state that Donald Trump won.
So it's not like she can go wildly wandering off
into the leftist wilderness.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
She can't.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
She knows that, and so she's got to step in
and push back. You guessed it against AOC.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
On the same week that a poll showed Democrats with
a dismal favorability rating of only twenty nine percent. Many
are facing voters face to face at what are becoming
very fiery town halls. We're talking shouting matches, lots of
booing constituents voicing their concerns about White House policies and
how Democrats are reacting or not reacting enough to them.
In Michigan, Senator Alyssis Lockin took a question on where
(14:49):
the party is heading when it comes to leadership, all those.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Things required to be more than just an AOC. I
can't do what she does because we.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Live in a purple state and I'm.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
A practice Everyone you mentioned has a lot of words.
What if they've actually done to change the situation with
Donald Trump?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
This race is an important question. It reminds me of you.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Dere Caravel, the former member of the US House who
lost to Gabe Evans, what she said in a debate
like I might not personally agree with my constituents, but
I'm going to vote the way they want me to
vote when it comes to immigration. And I was just like,
what are you principled or are you not? And with
slack in the question would be there, Hey, I live
in a purple state.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I can't go wild. What if she did live in
a blue state.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
What if she wasn't a very blue district like say
Rashida Talib in the state of Michigan, a district that
encompasses dearborn, would.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
She then go hog wild?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But the only reason she's not is because it's not
politically practical. Well, then what does she stand for? And
my question to you, Kelly hailing from California. Will the
so called mys or at least those presenting themselves as
such like Alyssa Slotkin, Governor Josh Shapiro Pennsylvania, Yes, Pete
Bootah Jedge.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Will they went out?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Or will it be this radical left Bernie Sanders, AOC
wing that's going to rest control of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Well, I think that's the sixty four thousand dollars question
right there, because you have both.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Fighting for control.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And the answer to your question is, I have no idea,
because you know, you have the moderates that are now
starting to come out in some of those states that
Trump won, but they also won Senate seats for Democrats,
so you know, we've got a little bit of in fighting,
(16:44):
like you mentioned before. So I don't see the progressives
winning out.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I really don't.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Well, I think I'm going to kind of split the
baby here, so to speak, and take your analysis one
step further, and I believe it's in sync with your analysis. Yeah,
Governor Gavin Newsom. Newsom has gone from a far left
position as he governed and how he was elected in California,
but realized that that was not a winning path and
(17:13):
if you've noticed he has tried to distance himself from
the far left. He move toward the middle. He's a
political animal. We've said he's Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.
He's very calculated and he's a literal kind of chameleon.
And the fact that he is moving toward the middle,
I think that's the guy.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I'm going to be following and watching in all of this.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
You could have a very good point.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We'll see where it goes.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
What do you think? Five seven seventy three nine. Send
those texts along. We'll take this time out when we
come back. A legendary man in the world of music.
He was a contemporary and close friend of Elvis Presley.
Pat Boone, at age ninety, joins us. He's written a
new song. It's for a very good cause, and I
had a chance to speak with him earlier today.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
That conversation next on Ryan Shuling Live.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
One.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I am one.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Like no other human being.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I am one.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
In malve meaning there is worth, there is a purpose,
like no weather on this planet. I am one. The
song you're hearing one voices for Tanzania, and the two
voices that you heard, one of many is joining us
(18:35):
right now. Lee Greenwood, the iconic voice that was second,
but the one that led it all off is the
driving force behind it. With a career spanning seven decades,
Pat Boone continues to inspire audiences with his music, this
humanitarian work which we'll talk about in just a moment,
and his unwavering faith in Christ. Now the proceeds from
this song will help fun clean water initiatives as well
(18:56):
as provide food resources, health services, and education for the
people of Tanzania, and he joins us on Ryan Shuling
Live Pat Boone a pleasure and honor. Thank you, sir
for sharing some time with us.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
Boy, you've done a good job, Ryan. I mean that's
what I was going to talk about and say, so
I guess I can go now. No, no, no, I
do appreciate it so much. It's been a labor of love.
I consider it at this point to be the most
important single thing I may ever have done, because it's
(19:31):
going to literally save lives. We know that. I've become
involved with an organization called One a World World Serve
and out of Springfield, Missouri, and they've been at this
for some time now, and they are trying to bring
fresh water to the three hundred and nineteen million people
(19:52):
in sub Saharan Africa without access to reliable, clean drinking water.
Now that water we take, we just turn on a
faucet and we've got water. We can buy bottled water
of all types. I mean, water is available to all
of us anytime, anywhere. But those people don't don't have
(20:13):
any fresh water. They never have had it, and they
drink poisoned water out of ditches and some little streams
where cattle uh frequent, and they and their there are diseases,
and they take home trouble of poisoned water to their kids,
who have a life expectancy now across Africa of five
(20:36):
five years. It's a miracle if they live to be
older than five years. And uh, and so some of
us have become so really terribly involved. I say terribly
because to us it's so terrible a problem, and we're
crucially involved. I should have said, but we're working together.
(20:57):
And I came up with this song, and the Ministry
of World Serve thought it would sound like we're the
world type thing, and we put it together that way.
And we've got many country performers who, like most performers,
no matter their political persuasions or whatever. They want us
to be a country that's united, and we are divided,
(21:21):
and this song talks about that. I'd use the word
one four ways about the individual unique to God, unlike
no other, as finger as our fingerprints, every individual. But
then we are one when we're united, and we're supposed
to be the United States, one nation under God, and
(21:44):
finally one, God himself is one. So I use the
word four ways and trying to make it sound like
a Neil Diamond record, which I think it does, and
then get the right singers to sing the parts, and
they do, and so now the song is available and
you could just that's on all the music servers, of course,
(22:07):
and that's Amazon Music, YouTube, Apple, Spotify. But we want
you to go on your computer or laptop to one
for Tanzania. That's one word O n E FRT A
n z A n I A dot org one for
Tanzania dot org and go to the app and then
(22:30):
a red button appears magically. You click that button and
then it will let you donate five dollars fifteen to
twenty five hundred five thousand, whatever your heart tells you
to do. But what you're doing is saving lives literally
of children who are currently drinking poison and is going
to kill them. But with these with what this song
(22:54):
calls for, these fresh water wells, and they are doable.
My wife and I brought in one into five hundred
foot fresh water well that is sparkling right now. The windmill,
motor driven brings fresh clean water up out of the
soil way down there. But the women who walk with
(23:15):
pictures on their heads and shoulders, they'll go walk three
to five miles to get to some kind of water
to bring back to their kids. Unfortunately, in most cases
the water they bring back is lethal. It's will kill
the kids eventually. So we're trying to solve that. I
know Guy's going to help us and people are going
(23:36):
to respond. And there's a group you hear singing that
we found while we were making the record, a group
from Tanzania mainly, but other countries there, and they're all
naturalized citizens, they're Americans, but they get together and sing
gospel songs in Swahili, their language, and they're singing what
(23:59):
most up One, And they're singing the words that I
wrote in English, they're singing in Swahili and it makes
me cry every time I'm even talking about them, and
I get teary now because they're pleading in their own
language for their own people. They've come as refugees and
effect from those countries and are begging us now to
(24:21):
help them save their own families, their children, the children
to be.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
And we can.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
I mean, all we do is to give what give
them fresh water and they'll flourish like we do, but
they don't have it, and they're sort of up to us.
And so I'm hoping people will respond and thank you
for just playing the song and let me talk about it.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Absolutely, the great Pat Boone with us the voice that
you're hearing. The website one for Tanzania dot org. It's
O for f O R Tanzania dot orgon you can
follow him on acts at the Pat Boone. So many
other artists working together with you on this. I mentioned
Lee Greenwood Pad but also Alabama, Deborah Allen, Billy Dean,
Larry Gatlin, Vince Gill, Wendy Molten, Pam tell us. How
(25:09):
did this all come together and how did Tanzania appear
on your radar this entire cause?
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Well, I had learned first about the world serf entity
and I wanted to be involved with them. They're doing this,
they're meeting the call, they're answering the need. And then
they heard and I had written a song that I
thought was the Neil Diamond Tack song. It sounded like
to me it ought to be anthemic and it needed
(25:35):
to be about something important. And when I described what
the word one can mean in its four different ways,
I knew that was the song. And so did they.
The world serve people, So now they are, They've got
the campaign will be worldwide, and it started two days
ago on the United Nations proclaimed World Water Day, and
(25:59):
so we got the song ready that the people all
came together. As soon as I contacted any of them
by nigh or in person, they all said, sure, I'll
do it. Now. There's others we texted and tried to
get to, like Reba McIntyre. We recorded in her studio
in Nashville, but she didn't hear my message that she
(26:19):
was on the road. And Garth Brooks and so many
of the others would have come on and said why
am I not on that record, And I said, well,
I tried to get you, but then we had to
do it by a certain date and we might, who knows,
we might do a follow up with even more voices
(26:40):
and singing the same song. But we'll certainly if we
do that, we'll have this group from that sing in
their own language, Swahili, leading for their own lives, their
own children, and in their own language, although they're now
American citizens. So that's the story, and I'm I'm just
glad that you're willing to let me share it, and
(27:03):
now I hope people will join us. We can save
lives literally and earn Jesus what he said there in
Matthew the tenth chapter that if you give a cup
of cold water to one of these little ones, my followers,
then my father will bless you. You will get a
blessing if you give a cup of fresh water to
(27:24):
these who are dying without it. And he loves them
just as much as he loves us. So I just
want people to know it and respond. We are kin
to them, We're related to them. We're all created in
God's image, and he wants to father all of us,
and wants us to father each other, to brother and
(27:45):
sister each other.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
You can donate to the cause online again one for
Tanzania dot org. The Great Pat Boon with us, and
I'm committing journalistic malpractice. They call it burying the lead here, Pat,
because I'm having this conversation with you, dropping all of
this knowledge, not only about the cause, but about the
Spotify is a platform, et cetera. My dad is seventy
sevent he's thirteen years younger than you, and believe me,
(28:08):
he doesn't know anything about any of those platforms, nor
does he want to. But my question for you, I
think you would frame it this way too, is that
God has blessed you with ninety years on this earth,
and Pat, just very directly, you don't sound a day
over sixty. What keeps you young? What keeps you energized?
What keeps you sharp? What advice can you give to
somebody like me at age fifty for what I might
(28:30):
look forward to forty years from now?
Speaker 8 (28:33):
Well you may not want to do this, but I
go upstairs and sing to Pat Boone records.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I might have to try that.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
Yeah, do that because God. I once was talking with
my wife shirty some years ago, I said, I don't
know what it is about my voice people like, but
they seem to like whether I'm singing rock and roll
or a country, or a rhythm of ballads, or even
rock and roll or riz and blues, all these things.
(29:04):
And she said, I think that voices have resonance, and
some people's voices just are not pleasant. I mean, you
can they they did the same good things, but you're
not attracted to their voices. But some voices have a resonance.
So I do go upstairs. I am ninety and I
(29:24):
sing to Louk writing love letters in the sand and
Boody River more deadly than the vein. It's nice. You
better come home, speedy Ganza, away from pan Orrrow and
just sing all those songs full voice for half an hour.
And when I come back down, I'm ready to go
(29:45):
do a show if I want to.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Pat, you truly are an inspiration.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I know your time is limited, but I'd really love
to have another conversation with you down the line, specifically
talking about your time in the fifties and your friendship
with Elvis Presley. I know there's so much that we
can cover, but this is a very important cause, looking
out for the people of Tanzania, giving them clean water
to drink, and once again you can find them online
One for Tanzania dot org. Pat Boone. Thank you so
(30:11):
much for your time today, sir, and we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 8 (30:14):
And your voice has a wonderful residence.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Thank you, Ryan, a very high compliment, Pat, thank you
for your time and again One for Tanzania dot org
is where you can go to donate money to this cause.
What a tremendous driving force for good that Pat Boone
is and he always has been his entire life, his
entire career. We'll take this time out. We'll come back
with more here on Ryan Schuling Live. After this, it's
(30:57):
time once again for another edition of Trump's Hot charting
the forty seventh president's epic interactions with the fake news media.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Your reaction to the destroying The Atlantic that said that
some of your.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Top of the Captain visuals and eighties had been discussed
very sense of materials of your signal and included in
Atlantic report.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
What does your response to that?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
In our consion, I don't know anything about it. I'm
not a big fan of the Atlantic. It's to me
it's a magazine that's going out of business. I think
it's not much of a magazine, but I know nothing
about it. You're saying that they had what.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
They were using a signal of warning on sets of materials.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
And having to do with what.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Ho did you do with?
Speaker 8 (31:36):
What?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
What were they talking about?
Speaker 8 (31:37):
With?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Who did you mean? The attack on them?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
It is well, it couldn't have been very effective, because the.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Attack was very effective. I can tell you that I
don't know anything about it. You're telling me about it
for the first time.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
A long.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
God, Come the top if you want roll.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
That's from nineteen ninety seven, an album entitled In a
Metal Mood No More.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Mister nice Guy from Pat Boone, The Ultimate nice Guy
he is. What did you think of Pat Boone aged
ninety there, Kelly.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
He does not sound like he's ninety.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
What a great guy.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Great interview too.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Thank you for that, and I look forward to maybe
having another interview with him because I want to ask
him all about Elvis.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Yes, yeah, the whole Elvis connection.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Well, in nineteen fifty in the fifties, Pat Boone was
like the nice guy alternative to Elvis, who was going
to corrupt your daughters, right, But Pat Boone he was
the guy that you wanted to bring home to mom,
you know.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
He was like as American as apple pie. Very true,
very true.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
But I still think that they had a great friendship
they did. It's it's going to be really good to
have him back on so he can talk about and
address those things.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
One four tenne fr Tanzania. It's the song that he
has written again at age ninety, with a lot of
other collaborators, including the amazingly Greenwood, who we love, of course,
a true patriot and a man who loves this country.
And so does Pat Boon. And you mentioned you still
see Pat Boon on tv ads at age ninety.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Yeah, he does the gold.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Stuff endorsing products, absolutely, and he's going strong at ninety,
hopefully for many years to come back hereon Ryan Schuling Live.
What you just heard from Donald Trump. There's some controversy
going down. The Atlantic apparently was circled into an email
that they should not have been at least. This is
the reporting and what Trump was asked about there. And
(33:41):
Jeffrey Goldberg, who is the Atlantics editor in chief, reported
the following. American war planning usually takes place in highly
secure facilities, but the Trump administration planned its strikes on
the hoo Thies using a group chat and accidentally included
Jeffrey Goldberg, ATLANTICX editor in chief, who apparently had the
same initial as one of the other administrators in the military.
(34:05):
I think Sectef Pete Hegseef had talked about this. Pete
Buddhaje Edge said this on X quote from an operational
security perspective, this is the highest level of f up imaginable.
These people cannot keep America safe. Kelly, what's going on here?
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Is that kind of similar to Hillary Clinton using a
private server to communicate classified messages.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
I think it was more of an error. Yeah, it
sounds like an error to be It's a big one.
If it's true, it's big.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
But Trump seemed to have dismiss it out of hand
because the strike on the hoo Thies was successful.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
So not sure how to sort all this out quite Yeah,
but maybe Dan Campbelli's to do more of that. And
appreciate all of you tuning in today, Appreciate Kelly being alongside.
Appreciate Rob Dawson offering his perspective on the Bernie aoc
rally in Denver that he was covering, as well well
as the March Madness that he and I were both
attending at Ballerina in Denver, and of course are sincere
(35:05):
thanks to Pat Boone, the music legend who joined me
for a brief time on this program today and hoping
you have many conversations ahead in the future with him
as well. That'll do it for me from here for now,
I'll talk to you tomorrow. Here I'm Ryan Shulding Live
