High Chaine pedal to the metal controversial show of your life.
Please buckle up and hold on tightly. This station is

from the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas. What
time is it?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's time war War.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Here's your host, one hundred percent raw truth, one hundred
percent American made the Warrior, Wayne Alan Roots.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Alright, well, here we go, ladies and gentlemen, Hour number
two War Zone. Wayne is off. Maybe back tomorrow. Should
be back tomorrow. I shouldn't say maybe we'll be back tomorrow.
You can watch what's going on on the Gateway Pundit.
You can go to Patriot dot Tv, Wayne's Rumble, Wayne's
X of course Root for America as well, all the
great radio stations from one coast to another. And I
(01:14):
felt like we needed to really really hit a home
run tonight, so we banged out three guests. So we
had Hans Desbain just on with US economics professor over
at UMass Amherst. A little later on, we have an
author and another professor joining us. At the bottom of
this hour, and right now we are being joined by
Ben Proto, who is the chairman of the Republican Party
(01:37):
in the state of Connecticut, but he's also the newly
appointed budget chair for the Republican National Committee. So Ben,
good evening, Tanks for coming on. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Hey me, how you doing. It's good to see you.
Appreciate we were just talking to each other.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
That's true. I mean Ben's on with me once a
week and it's always by phone. So now we get
a chance to look face to face on some of
this stuff. So let me thank you. A financial question
to start with before we get into some of the
other stuff. How do you see the party's financial strategy
evolving to support candidates in the twenty twenty six mid terms,
(02:12):
especially in battleground type states. What do you think is
going to happen?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
We just had our budget meeting last week to put
together the twenty six budget for the RNC, and we're
looking right now we have more money cash on hand
at the RNC than the DNC, the D Triple C,
and the d and the Democrawt Senate Committee combined. Just
the rn C, never mind the NRCC or the nrsc
(02:40):
our sister committees, So we have more money in the
RNC than the three of them combined. Cash on hand.
Our fundraising has exploded this year. We expect it's going
to explode next year. We just put a budget together
that is primarily focused on funding the states and our candidates.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
There was an argument before the Supreme.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Court this past Tuesday that we're waiting on a decision
for which, if it goes in our favor, will unleash
even more money from the RNC into and state parties
into candidates, which will remove the coordinated expense limits that
currently exists that we can spend on federal candidates. But
(03:20):
we've budgeted a substantial amount of money for our state
parties and for our candidates across the country. We are
committed to holding the majority in both the House and
the Senate and making Donald Trump a four year president
not a two year president.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Is that normal the money disparagy of disparity with the
Republicans and the Dems, or is that something out of
the blue.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It's a little out of the blue. Look.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
The party in power always obviously has better fundraising advantages
than the party out of power. But the Democrats, as
you know, when Kamala Harris ran Last year, she raised
or combined with the other parties. Her parties raised about
three billion dollars and ended up twenty million dollars in
the hole, which they're still trying to pay off.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We have really raised a lot.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Of money during the twenty four cycle again in twenty
five with the help of President Trump and JD. Vans
are our vice president finance share of the RNC. So
we're in really great shape and I think we're ready
to compete across the country to hold the majority of
the House.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
In the Senate, Kamala should ask the Somalis in Minnesota
to lend her some money.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I mean, you know, they have a couple of billion
dollars that her vice presidential candidate helped get to them.
You know, just a few dollars here and there that
I'm sure they can spare.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Sure, why not give it to her?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I So with Trump's the administration, his recent policies on immigration,
border security security, you can see that that's gaining traction.
I know there's pushback in some places, there's people who
are protesting Ice. It was even you know, a potential
terror threat that was going to go after Rice But
you know, do you think that Republicans can draw from,
(04:59):
let's say, the experience with some of these sanctuary cities
when you know, here in Connecticut, the sanctuary city situation
and the ice situation is horrible. But do you think
other states can draw from that chaos and use it
when they campaign?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
You know, when we look at where we were under
Joe Biden and where we were today and where we
are today, in the first ten months of President Trump's administration,
there's been about one hundred and seventeen thousand border encounters.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
That's darting the first ten months.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Under Joe Biden, they averaged about one hundred and eighty
seven thousand a month, So the reduction is substantial. We
also know that when you have sanctuary cities, what happens?
Will illegal immigrants figure out, Hey, I can go to
these cities and I can be protected. And when you
see that happen, what happens? You see murder rates go up,
you see violent crime rates go up, you see housing
(05:49):
costs go up, you see taxes go up. Why because
those cities are usually funded either through the city or
through the state, or both through the counties in those
states of deaf counties where they're funding progress or illegals,
and it's costing taxpayers more money to do that. So yeah,
I think it's an opportunity for Republicans to make that
case of that. When you have sanctuary cities, it drives
(06:11):
cost up, it drives crime up, it drives more problems
up in those cities, which you have to then pay
more to counter, and it becomes a very vicious circle
where the only people who truly lose are the taxpayers.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Ben Proto is the chairman of the Republican Party is
also the newly appointed budget chair for the Republican National
Committee Economic Issues. We were just talking a little bit
about the economy with my last guest, and you know, inflation, energy,
independence of you know, high cost of just life in general.
Is I think it's just soul sucking.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It is what it is.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I just don't feel like it's come down and you know,
the midterms, it's always blamed the person in power, but
I feel like this is obviously any economic strife that
we're feeling is prior to President Trump. So how do
you how do you navigate that again for the twenty
twenty six election cycle?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Again, Lee, when we look at where we are under
you know, Joe Biden, Americans lost about twenty nine hundred
dollars a year and purchasing power. Under Donald Trump, they've
gained back and they got about seven hundred dollars more
now in purchasing power than they had. When we look
at housing costs, housing costs are on the rise under
Joe Biden. They're coming down under President Trump. We're seeing
interest rates come down. When interest rates come down, a
couple of things happen. Mortgages become more available, The American
(07:28):
dream becomes more attainable.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
That's all because of what President Trump has put in place.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
And when we look at the big beautiful bill, where
we're not taxing tips, we're not taxing overtime, there's no
tax on Social Security, or the six thousand dollars a
person tax deduction, twelve thousand dollars if you're married, if
you're sixty five or older. All of those things are
going to drive economic power for individuals. There are going
to be people in this country who are going to
(07:53):
get tax refunds who've never gotten a tax refund in
their life because of Donald Trump's big beautiful bill that
we're put in place by the Republicans. And it's important
to remember as well that a lot of what drives
this is our healthcare costs. And we're looking at you know,
right now, you know, we're in the argument over the
extension of the COVID era subsidies that the Democrats put
in place without a single Republican vote and put an
(08:15):
end date on December thirty first to twenty twenty five.
But now they're trying to blame the Republicans for what
they did. And what we're seeing now are states. So
we're seeing it here in Connecticut. Our own governor says, hey,
we're going to put seventy million dollars in to help
people pay their healthcare premiums because they lost their COVID subsidies.
It's just a ridiculous argument that the Democrats make that
the way to solve the economic problem is by putting
(08:38):
taking more money from taxpayers and putting more money into
programs that produces zero economic games for people, for citizens
of the state in this country.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I'm so glad that you know you said that, because
I've been screaming about that very issue for forever, but
in particular the last couple of months because again, we
all feel for people, and we all want to have people,
you know, not have the hardship of life that some
people get. And we would love it if everybody had
health insurance. But I don't want to pay for somebody
(09:07):
else's ben I'm sick of it. And you know, he
takes the seventy million dollars and we're talking about Lamont
and he again it goes to the subsidies. So now
people get lower price of health care. My healthcare is
still very high, you know. I just I feel, like
I said today, it's like squeezing an orange until there's
absolutely nothing left. That's what is happening, I think to
the middle class class in some states across the country.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Absolutely And look when you look at the Democrat policies
and Republican policies, Democrat policies are about handouts.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Republican policies are about hand ups, which I.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Think we can all agree that there are people in
the world, in particularly in this country, sometimes need a
hand up and a helping hand, and that's fine, we
have no issue with that. But when you continue to
give people free stuff, which they for lack of a
better term, is what it is, you're giving them money
to buy healthcare that you and I are paying for
for them, plus have to pay for our own. Then
(10:01):
you get caught in that vicious cycle. And so what
you know, and we look at what President Trump has done.
He's lowered drug costs, he's lowered healthcare costs. You know,
he's lowered mortgage rates, he lowered interest rates. He's begun
to drive down the costs that Americans are paying for
everyday items. And yes, it's taking some time to get there.
(10:23):
And I think, you know, we live in a world
of instant gratification unfortunately, but I think when we get
to the to the election cycle next year, we're going
to see those costs come down, and the economic issues
that you're talking about are going to be the very
thing that I think drives a Republican victory in November
of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
So, Ben PROTI, you just answered my next question. Do
you think that you can buck the trend every single
midterm year? It is not necessarily always a disaster, but
there is always sort of some give back, you yield
some ground. Do you think this year could actually be different?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I do, and I think we're going to see as
we come into next year when a lot of the
Big Beautiful Bill kicks in particul You know, Lee, you
and I are in Connecticut. We're the fourth best state
under the Big Beautiful Bill economically and financially, and people
are going to see huge gains from that. We're going
to see more investment in working capital and business startups.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And what does that mean. That means more jobs.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
We've got more jobs with what that means maybe more
wage journeys and more and more salary and wage and
people making a living being able to pay their costs.
We begin to see costs, the grocery costs come down.
Hopefully Governor Lamont will be leaving us shortly.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
We'll begin to see energy.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Prices coming down here in Connecticut, property taxes coming down.
Those are things that are really driving Those are all
Democrat initiatives that have driven up costs.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Ben, I got to run, but it's been a lot
of fun. I appreciate you, and I'll talk to you
again next week.
Speaker 1 (11:41):

good one.

lost my fantasy football I think I proclaimed on the
air a couple of weeks ago that my team was unbeatable,
and of course by doing that, I jinxed my team.
I jinxed them. I mean, I'd like an all star team,
and I lost, and I'm very upset about it. So
(17:28):
yesterday I was miserable. That was just another reason for
me to be miserable. Yes today, Let's see. So what
do you make out of the slang of Ryan car Ryan.
What a terrible tragedy that is. I mean, I mean,
he's a guy that I grew up watching that show.
I mean it was a little bit before my time.
(17:50):
I just thought I was young when it was on.
I mean I was young. I was a kid single
digits when it was on. But I do remember it,
and it was an appointment watching television all the family.
It's arguably one of the greatest sitcoms of all time.
I mean, you could make a serious argument that it's
the greatest sitcom of all time. And you know, forget
about the politics side of it. The guy produced some
(18:12):
of the greatest movies that this country has ever known.
I mean, essentially one hit after another. So for this
to happen, I mean, it's just I mean, I don't
know what we're going to find out. They did arrest
his son. He's in jail with no bail, so we'll,
(18:33):
you know, we'll find out what the story and tales.
I know he's got had mental issues, but man, can
you imagine that being the case. You know, finding that
horror show, you know, you're the whoever found the two
of them, But man, talk about out of left field.
That was one that you didn't see coming, right, But
I mean just in a general sense thinking about sitcoms,
(18:56):
it's thinking about some of the greatest television shows of
all time and just being a part of that show,
thinking about some of the I mean, I want to
think about some of the greatest television shows for me.
I mean, if you're just talking about comedies and sitcoms,
I mean, all in the families in there. For me,
Cheers got to be in there. Seinfeld's got to be
in there. For whatever reason, I've I've always been an
odd Couples Fanily, I always thought that was one of
(19:17):
the greatest shows of all time because Oscar made me laugh.
I mean, he was a sports guy, and then of
course Felix was a neat freak and and funny. But
you know, Archie Bunker and Meathead and the whole crew,
they just they would there were you know, trendsetters and
trailblazers in an area where you know, they were dancing
on the line constantly of Americana. You know, they were
(19:40):
broaching subjects that nobody at that time they even talked about.
And if you go back and watch some of those shows,
I would say I would say ninety percent. Here's how
here's where we are as a country. Ninety percent of
the All in the Family shows probably could not be
played today national television. And you know it was all satire.
(20:04):
It was just you know, trying to prove a point.
But you know, Rob Reiner was you know, an integral
part of that and fatally stabbed him, his wife and
his la home crazy. All right, when we come back,
we're going to have a special guest talk about his
latest book. He's also going to talk a little bit
about terror and the war on Terror, so stick around
for that. Mike Nagel will join us after the bottom
of the hour. Again, my name is Lee Elsie, filling
(20:25):
in for Wayne Allen Root. You can watch us on

that are playing it on the radio from one coast
to another. Joining me right now is Michael Nagel, PhD.
Professor of History, Director of History and Political Science and
Media Studies, and Program Chair Terrorism Studies at Nichols College.
He's also the author of a brand new book. So, Michael,
(22:50):
good morning, good after, good evening.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
How are you man?
Speaker 10 (22:56):
Hey, good evening, Lee. Yeah, I'm used to saying good
morning to you whenever we chance of talks. But I
knew it was different because I have to have a jacket, you.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Have your tie on that we.
Speaker 10 (23:08):
Are definitely in prime time here.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
It's very very it's a little bit different, very very
different actually, as a matter of fact. So listen, I
thank you for coming on. I appreciate it very much.
And you've got a brand new book out, So let's
start with that Chasing Bandits. Give me that thirty thousand
foot view of what this is all about.
Speaker 10 (23:24):
Yeah, right here. I know Hans was showing it before
in his in his earlier segment, but Chasing Bandits America's
long war on terror. It's it's a case study, as
six case studies of these different cases, these different cases
in which the United States was pursuing some of these
(23:45):
proto terrorists, if you will. These are individuals who the
United States was pursuing for one reason or another basically
from the turn of the twentieth century up to the present.
So I have six examples of this. The last one,
of course, is Osama bin Laden. And this book was
inspired by an undergraduate course that I teach at Nichols
(24:08):
College about the War on Terror, and which the genesis
of the class was to try to historicize the twenty
first century global War on Terror. And as I was
doing research for this class, I came across all these
other instances in US history of very similar pursuits of
(24:29):
these individuals for similar reasons, who were described in very
similar ways. I think the language across these different cases
is a thread line among all of them. But real quick,
I'll try to give the sixth case studies here. You know.
The first is Amelia a Grinaldo in the Philippines, part
(24:50):
of the Philippine American War after the United States colonizes
the Philippines. I also look at Pancho Villa in Mexico.
He stages in a attack on the United States in Columbus,
New Mexico in March nineteen sixteen that kills eighteen Americans.
And the way in which Pancho Vidia is talked about
(25:11):
in the US media, I think is very similar to
the way in which Osama bin Ladm has talked about
in the twenty first century. There's Augusto Sandino in paragul
in the nineteen twenties and thirties, and he was fighting
against the presence of US Marines in his country who
were there as peacekeepers. I look at Chaikovara in Bolivia,
(25:35):
he had resigned his positions with the Cuban government, tries
to foment anti capitalist revolutions around the world, first in
the Congo, then in Bolivia. Another chapter on Pablo Escobar
in Colombia, and he's referred to as a narco terrorist,
a term that his backup in the news again today,
(25:59):
and then close with Osama bin Laden And the broader
point is to show that the global war on terror
is really not unique in US history, and I try
to make the case that indeed, I think there is
a utility to these individuals to try to justify American
(26:21):
military engagements abroad.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
So before we get too deep into that, I want
to just make sure you can tell everybody where they
can get the book before we you know, sort of
going a little bit further into what you've written in it.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Where do they go?
Speaker 10 (26:38):
So it's available. It was published with the University of
North Carolina Press, so there's the unc press website, but
also Amazon, so and it's available pretty much at any
kind of fine online bookseller near you.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
And now how do you you weave these all, these
these tales all together, these six different stories all together,
is sort of compare and contrast in that when you
are talking about each one.
Speaker 10 (27:05):
That's right. So I'm trying to tell the stories. Each
each of these chapters is a self contained story, which
you know, I think as a dramatic narrative to it
in the sense that you know, the United States is really,
you know, going through significant effort to try to find
these individuals, and in some cases these are successful pursuits
(27:26):
and in other cases they're not. But I think the
way in which these individuals are talked about are very
very similar. So for example, if you could transport Osama
bin Laden from the twenty first century to the early twentieth,
he probably would not be called a terrorist. He'd probably
be called a bandit. And conversely, if what Puanchovia did
(27:50):
in nineteen sixteen, if he did something like that in
the twenty first century, he would be called a terrorist.
So I'm trying so I make the case in the
book that there is the terminology might be different, but
I think the meanings in which these individuals are described
is all the same, and I think this helps to
justify American incursions abroad and also to bend or break
(28:15):
establish rules of engagement to go after these individuals through
military means.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Again, Michael Nichol is our guest professor of History Media
Studies program co chair. He's also Terrorism studies and I
want to get into that if you don't mind just
a little bit. I know we sort of booked this
a while ago, but since then we've had a couple
of different acts of terrorism and I wanted to get
your general assessment of what happened in Australia and listen,
(28:41):
I know that I talk about this a lot on
the air, but it does seem often, Professor, that it's
a Muslim fanatic, at Islamic fanatic who causes a lot
of death and destruction. In particular, are aiming it at
our Jewish friends. So what are your general thoughts about
what we witnessed in Australia. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
Yeah, since we last spoke, we've had the shooting in Sydney.
ISIS also has UH staged an attack in Syria that
killed two US service members, including an interpreter, which shows
you that ISIS is still out there. They may not
have their so called caliphate anymore, but they have been
(29:23):
staging these low intensity strikes all throughout Syria. And yeah,
clearly these are these are tragic and troubling incidents that
are going on. I mean one in Australia in particular,
it seems like it was a father and son that
(29:43):
were involved in this shooting. And I think one of
the things too, even more more broadly, you know, to
assess or to call something terrorism, it's important first to
establish motive. You'll have different definitions of terrorism among terrorism studies, scholars, UH,
(30:05):
even within different UH administrations, within the federal government. But
I think at root it is is violence or the
threat of violence that has a political or social objective
to it. So it's to call any act of violence
terrorism I think is overinflating. But but that the motive
(30:27):
is is crucial here and what it seems like, Uh,
what's what happened in Syria targeting uh specifically ah uh
Hankkah celebration. Uh, targeting a Jewish community would certainly fall
under the definition of terrorism. And the I believe it's
the the father was was killed, the son I think
(30:50):
was was injured, was wounded and is in a coma.
So I think we need to get a little bit
more just to to to understand their their motives, what
was driving them to do this. By all appearances, it
does seem like an active terror to to specifically go
after a Jewish celebration. And you know, these things are
(31:13):
unfortunately more common in place these days, or at least
it certainly seems that way.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Yeah, I was going to ask you, are they really
more commonplace or are we just getting more information because
of the Internet. And you know, we haven't even talked
about the genocide essentially that's happening in Africa, I mean
just about you know, there are thousands and thousands of
people being slaughtered in Africa, village by village. They're going
and wiping out any Christians that are going on there,
(31:38):
and that never makes the nightly news. So this is
happening worldwide.
Speaker 10 (31:44):
Yeah, you know, particularly in Africa. This is where the
global war on terror has really extended. The theater of
operation isn't isn't obviously Afghanistan anymore. We still have US
small contingent of US troops in Iraqi and Syria. It's
still in dangerous territory for sure, but seems like Africa
(32:04):
is the main theater of operations relative to this global
war on terror that is not really talked about in
terms of a global war on terror anymore. But we
still have US troops stationed around the world to try
to tamp down or at least assist local governments to
(32:29):
stop these various rebel groups that are popping up all
over Africa, including a number of drone bases that the
United States is helping out with all across the continent.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Professor, listen, I'm sorry the music is playing. I do
gotta go, but I want to give you the opportunity
one more time, So Chasing band It's America's long War
on Terror is out Amazon. You can get in other places. Professor.
I can't thank you in up, buddy, and we'll talk
again very soon.
Speaker 10 (32:55):
Okay, thanks very much, Lee, have a good night, you.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Got it there it is Chasing Band, It's going and
get it today. A great book, great author. Michael Nagel
joining us. All right, we got to take one final break.
We'll come back. Please don't go anywhere once again. You
can watch us on Patriot dot TV, the Gateway, Pundit,
you name it, We're on it.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
You're watching the war Zone.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
All right.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
We're joined by Colin Gage, CEO of ar MR Sciences.
We have a fetanyl crisis in the United States, a
full blown crisis, and.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
Your company is doing something about it.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
What are the solutions that ARMR is developing to deal
with fetnyl?
Speaker 11 (33:52):
Yeah, thanks for having me on, Wayne. So we are
developing the first ever long lasting preventative countermeasure against fentonol
and potentially against fentantol two point zero, three point zero
and four point zero. And we could talk more about that.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
And how do these solutions work?
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Very straightforward.
Speaker 11 (34:10):
So we work with the body's immune system to generate
a protective immune response against fentanyl. That protective immune response
binds to the fentanyl molecule and prevents it from attacking
your brain. If fentanyl doesn't attack your brain, you don't
have an overdose.
Speaker 10 (34:24):
It's as simple as that.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
So who would receive these solutions and who are your
primary end care users?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Good question.
Speaker 11 (34:32):
We want this to be available as an option to
military first responders and frankly, all those teenagers, adolescents, etc.
College students who are experimenting with drugs. There's no reason
that we should be having twenty two high school age
students die every single week from fentanyl overdose. These students
are being poisoned and we want to end that.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Ultimately, How can ARMR Sciences help ensure that America is prepared, protected,
and resilient against the threat of fetanyl?
Speaker 11 (35:02):
So preparation and protection are our entire ethos. We want
to provide a shield against fenthanol and we're doing that
by working with the body, by working with what we
have available to ensure that people have a defense against
these drugs. Rather than just reacting to these overdoses, why
not prevent them altogether. That's our entire missions to prevent
(35:23):
versus react.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
And are you planning to go public and if so,
why should investors invest in ar MR Sciences?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah, so we are.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
We are.
Speaker 11 (35:34):
We are planning to go public in twenty twenty six,
likely in Q one or Q two of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
This is a big.
Speaker 11 (35:41):
Mission and we need to unify and get behind this.
So we want to work with every investor out there
to make sure that this has the best possible chance
of success. So, you know, I encourage everyone, anyone who's
interested in participating ahead of our planned IPO to go

wrap it up. I'll stay away from the politics. I'll
(38:15):
let way and take over that tomorrow. You know, every
grand achievement begins with a single simple act, and you
think about the moment you wake up. You have a choice.
You can make your bed or you can leave it unmade,
starting the day with I don't know, maybe a small
(38:38):
surrender to disorder. Or you get up and you make
your bed. That tiny task, taking less than two minutes,
gives you an immediate win. It's your first accomplishment of
the day, a quiet declaration that you are in control,
you are the one calling the shots. It's a sense
(38:59):
of pride. Maybe small, but maybe it encourages you to
do one other tasks and then another and another, and
by the end of the day, that small win has
become a great, big one, setting the tone for productivity
and purpose. And they had attention to detail. It's huge
(39:21):
and I'm you know, obviously making the bed is a tiny,
tiny fraction of this. But the greatest leaders, athletes, innovators
all understood that excellence is built on doing the little
things and doing them well. A perfectly executed pass in
soccer or flawlessly. You're writing a line of code, maybe
(39:44):
a courteous email that you send to somebody. It seems
minor in the moment, but it builds, and neglect of
those things maybe small, but that will begin to crumble
whatever it is that you're trying to accompli and progress
the man's courage. So face your fears head on, lean in, embrace, unleash,
(40:08):
push through resistance, and watch your confidence sore. That is
how you begin the day you make.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
The bed right.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
No one achieves these these big goals without the little, tiny,
small steps. And you should surround yourself with people who
try to lift you up and not tear you down.
People who challenge you, people who share a vision, the
same vision that you may share, collaborate, listen, support one another.
That's you know, that's how people make their way in
(40:46):
this world and do great things right. Step Backs come,
for sure, failure, criticism, exhaustion, but resilient people forge forward,
and you know, don't let the small losses or laws
in general to fine you. And resilience is non negotiable again,
setbacks come, learn from those losses, adapt, keep moving forward.
(41:10):
Tough times don't define you, but your response to those
tough times do so be great, take risks, step outside
your comfort zone, try new approaches, speak up when you
used to be quiet. Being safe isn't isn't necessarily the
way to go. Dare to stretch it out every moment,
(41:32):
be more of yourself. And you know what, you know
when you're being yourself, it's just a good It's just
a great feeling inside when you don't have to shut
up because you feel like maybe it's not the right
place to say something, but you go ahead and say
it because it's the right thing to do. You feel
fantastic after that, or you do something that makes you
feel fantastic even though maybe you know in the past
(41:53):
you wouldn't have done it. So making your bed isn't
about just being tidy. It's a symbol of self discipline, responsibility,
a commitment to a better life. It reminds you of
what you're capable in this chaotic world. Be that capable person.
That single habit right, that single habit will ripple through
(42:15):
the entire day. I know making your bed seems silly,
but make it. See what happens if you don't do
it normally, See what happens.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Get up, make your bed.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Care for the little things, your habits, your effort, your choices,
and big things will happen. Start tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (42:30):
Make your bed all right.
