=== Living in a Fallen World (04:29) ===

[00:00:00]  I had somebody accuse me, a reviewer last week, said that I was too Hobbesian.
[00:00:05]  Too what?
[00:00:06]  Hobbesian.
[00:00:08]  He is the philosopher famous for the statement that life is nasty, brutish and short.
[00:00:14]  And as Christians, we do acknowledge that.
[00:00:16]  One of the first things we have to acknowledge is we are fallen living in a fallen world.
[00:00:23]  It is the process of ours trying to reach up to the light of God that distinguishes us from those who do not.
[00:00:31]  It is the struggle that we go through in this world.
[00:00:36]  It is true.
[00:00:38]  And we have seen great leaders in the past try to point that way.
[00:00:43]  We live in a fallen world.
[00:00:46]  We live in a world with ISIS.
[00:00:48]  We live in a world with a psychotic in North Korea.
[00:00:50]  Now, do we stick our heads in the sand or do we stand up and say, no, I am going to stand for the light.
[00:00:55]  I am going to stand for the truth.
[00:00:57]  Talk to the veterans we still have who liberated the camps and then try and tell them that Iran is right and it never happened.
[00:01:09]  There is a lot of mistakes in this article about your book.
[00:01:13]  Well, popular mechanics?
[00:01:15]  It's so funny.
[00:01:16]  This article came out a few days ago.
[00:01:18]  March 31st.
[00:01:20]  Dr. Pry and I were immediately communicating on that.
[00:01:23]  But here's what it says.
[00:01:24]  I read a pre-publication copy of a book called One Second After.
[00:01:28]  I hope it does get published.
[00:01:31]  I think the American people need to read it.
[00:01:33]  That's Congressman Bartlett who chaired the committee.
[00:01:36]  First of all, the book was published how long ago?
[00:01:39]  2009.
[00:01:42]  This book.
[00:01:43]  But anyhow.
[00:01:44]  And then it says it's the story of a ballistic missile EMP attacked on our country.
[00:01:49]  The weapon was launched from a ship off our shore, and then the ship was sunk so that there was no fingerprints.
[00:01:56]  It's interesting.
[00:01:57]  That article is quoting an interview with Dr. Prye from Congressman Bartlett eight years ago.
[00:02:05]  And let me provide a genesis here.
[00:02:07]  When I first started working on the book.
[00:02:09]  Wait a minute.
[00:02:11]  Let's go there.
[00:02:12]  This is crazy.
[00:02:13]  It's crazy.
[00:02:14]  I'm trying to figure it out.
[00:02:15]  It's fake news.
[00:02:16]  It says the weapon was launched from a ship off our shore, then the ship was sunk so there was no fingerprints.
[00:02:23]  The weapon was launched about 300 miles high over Nebraska and it shut down our infrastructure countrywide.
[00:02:32]  The story runs for a year.
[00:02:33]  It is set in the hills of North Carolina.
[00:02:36]  At the end of the year, 90 percent of our population is dead.
[00:02:41]  There are 25,000 people still alive in New York City.
[00:02:46]  The communities in the hills of North Carolina are more lucky.
[00:02:49]  Only 80 percent of their population is dead at the end of the year.
[00:02:54]  And then Bartlett, who was spooked by the novel, said after he left Congress, he became a survivalist.
[00:03:02]  And just to be clear, the claim that North Carolina could kill 90 percent of the American people was directly pulled from a science fiction novel.
[00:03:11]  That's not true, is it?
[00:03:12]  No, it's not true.
[00:03:16]  Let me give the linear, real facts.
[00:03:20]  When I first started working on the book, actually back in 2005, I spoke to Congressman Bartlett.
[00:03:29]  Did he become a survivalist?
[00:03:30]  I mean, is he believing that let's put it into its context to answer that?
[00:03:35]  Bartlett gives me advice, gives me the reports.
[00:03:39]  I will talk to Dr. Prague, Dr. Woolsey.
[00:03:42]  My reports, congressional reports come out.
[00:03:45]  2009, I gave Congressman Roscoe Bartlett 535 copies of the book.
[00:03:52]  My publisher did.
[00:03:53]  They were handed to every member of Congress.
[00:03:56]  Wow.
[00:03:56]  They wound up as doorstoppers in most liberal congressional offices.
[00:04:02]  Bartlett gets gerrymandered out of his district in 2012.
[00:04:07]  He then moves to West Virginia, where I believe it might have been the Washington Post does a slam piece on him a year or two later, making him look like he's crazy, where Bartlett just simply said, no, I want to retire to a farm I had up in West Virginia and I wanted to be off the grid.

=== Not Prepared, Not Protected (00:38) ===

[00:04:24]  What's wrong with that?
[00:04:27]  So, where I'm so angry is it's lying.
[00:04:30]  It's false news.
[00:04:31]  It's saying, look how foolish these people are.
[00:04:33]  And I have to ask, where will that magazine editor be?
[00:04:36]  Where will that author be on the day it goes down?
[00:04:41]  They will most likely be protected where the rest of us who are not prepared will not.
[00:04:46]  And I got to say it again.
[00:04:48]  You all better be prepared.
[00:04:50]  Things are not getting easier at this moment.
