The father said will you oversee the education of my son you are the smartest man i know. So when he comes of age he writes a beautiful letter and says you have to learn these things and went it comes to literature he gets to the last one of religion and he says when it comes to religion above all things question the boldness. That changed my life. That, coupled with the fact Thomas Jefferson is the man that fought the first war against islam when he was in office and he was trying to understand what do these people want. He had one of the first copies of the english koran in the United States. So he had everything in its native tongue when he could. He tried to be as fair as he could and he also read the entire koran. We should all read the koran and dont take soundbites, dont take this from me. In the back we had all of our nodes so dont take it from me. This is what we have found. Weve gone to the original sources. Its not my opinion. You further that investigation but ask honest qu
The example was the plantation women, he cut off their breast and had them hang in their home. Guest there are accounts for that. I include one from a loyalist who was assaulted in her home. This is a theme that is carried on. We think about war and talk about armies but there are always civilians caught between the armies. It certainly was true in pe petersberg and in berlin were raised by the invading soviet red army in retrobution from a what the russian soldiers had done. This is part of the war we have to understand. Your host your book does a great job in helping us tell the truth and understanding what war is in reality. The book is the Hidden History of america at war by kenneth c. Dav davis. I learn ad lot from it. Guest thank you. [applause] thank you to kenneth c. Davis and mark jacobs.

Peaceful existence with everyone else. Then other group wants sharia law. Host you quote contrary to public misconception islam does not mean peace but rather submission to the commands of allah. Guest what we tried to do is show the people who actually do believe if i said to you, lets go take on the nazis. And you insisted it wasnt about nationalism or socialism you would just say these people are crazy. Well, i dont get to their ideaology and stop them. Hitler was crazy but a lot of people based their understanding of socialism. People in denmark are nazis are they . They were National Socialist and it was that combination that brought us the nazi world. Doesnt make every socialist a nazi. We have to find the people calling for our death, quoting the koran and say we are about islam. We cannot deny what they say. If you want to defeat them you have to know them. Host this is part of your control series. What is that . Guest we did a book on the Second Amendment then we did one on co
Much stronger position on tackles. There are strict rules about tackles that prevent a lot of injuries, particularly at the international level. Also, the absence of helmets , ironically, might be a cause cause for fewer concussions. Could you please talk about the difference between rugby union and American Union and american football, whether or not you have looked at that . And if you have not looked at that, take a look at the new Zealand Rugby union seem and maybe open up a dialogue with the National Rugby team to see whether or not you could learn something from new zealand and maybe they could play more games of the year. Thank you very much. Its interesting. I have heard from a number of folks. This issue is raised repeatedly. The biggest. Is the one you hit on about helmets, the absence certainly changes the way players tackle in the game. We we address this in the book. In many ways, the helmet has made the concussion issue worse. It is overpriced piece of plastic that has em
We have gone to the original sources. Is not my opinion. You further that investigation yourself but ask honest questions not trying to prove one way or the other, honest questions and question the existence of god while youre doing it. Host the Virginia House of delegates, jefferson decided islam as an example for why va should not have an official in the joy. Guest sure. And the same time he was protecting a religion like islam. He was using it to say sharia law or a better word for it is islamist attitude now, difference between islam and islamist and that is important, one who believes great performers of islam that want to believe religion is peaceful and have peaceful existence with everybody else and there are limits who want sharia law for everybody else, that is what the country is all about, we dont have the combination of church and state and that is what an islamist does. Host the notorious british islamic charter contrary to public misconceptions islam does not mean peace
