Prince Harry and Meghan made getaway in NYC taxi after being trailed by paparazzi
"Prince Harry and wife Meghan made their getaway in New York City in a taxi after being trailed by paparazzi, Zara said was outside Manhattan's ziegfeld ballroom as the duke and Duchess of Sussex were leaving. The entire time a lot of the paparazzi were heckling Meghan and Harry and making just negative comments trying to get a reaction out of them. And the photographers followed the car and eventually went to a police station. And then the security guy hailed me, and next thing you know, prince Harry and his wife were hopping into my cab. Soup charn sings cab. I think they were cheap being chased the whole day or something, so they were pretty nervous. The royal couple spokesperson claims they had been dangerously pursued by paparazzi in a near catastrophic car chase through the streets of Manhattan. Nah, that must have happened earlier if they were being chased before. Police say the pursuit was relatively short and led to no injuries, collisions, or arrests, and no further investigation.

Long popular in Asia, floating solar catches on in US
"Law and popular in Asia floating solar is catching on as an energy source in the U.S. floating solar panel farms have been an attractive and affordable idea to get electricity for communities that don't have a lot of land. Shayna white with Duke Energy says they're launching a small floating solar pilot in barto Florida. The floating solar is nice. We'll be able to use different bodies of water that aren't really used for recreational purposes. The study published in the journal nature sustainability found thousands of cities. More than 6124 countries could generate an amount equal to all their electricity demand using floating solar, Chris bartle is with the solar company seal and tear. Asia, especially island nations like Japan and Taiwan, were very keen on floating solar because they just didn't have a lot of land for large scale ground mount solar. Floating solar attaches panels onto rafts, so they float on water instead of blocking off land. I'm Ed Donahue

Prince Harry an odd man out at father's coronation spectacle
"Prince Harry was an odd man out, at his father's coronation spectacle. Harry arrived at his father's coronation alone, and he left alone, the disgruntled Duke of Sussex sat two rows behind his brother, Prince William, heir to the throne, in the pomp filled ceremony at Westminster Abbey, the isolations likely the result of quitting his royal duties, and thus no longer ranking as a senior family member or working royal. It didn't help that he alienated himself from his father and brother by airing grievances and telling palace secrets in his explosive bestselling memoir spare, Buckingham Palace had said Harry wouldn't participate in at the ceremony.

Rescuing Sudanese Slaves: Todd Chatman Shares One Woman's Story
"Serve a good God, a God who allows us to participate in his work. In our generation, we're talking to Todd Chapman with Christian solidarity international and part of God's work right now through Christian solidarity international is literally freeing slaves from captivity. And I want us as the western the American church to understand the evil in the world, it will deepen your faith if you understand the evil in the world and if you understand that God has appointed you to take apart and doing something about it. That's a fact that's a fact. Todd, talk to us about some of the stories or one of the stories of one of the women that has been through this process. So we can put more of a face on this, because. I guess the one that first comes to mind is a woman named joke and I had the opportunity to meet her and learn her story. He's about 26, 27 years old now, but she was taken captive when she was three years old. She was at her home in South Sudan, her grandma was there with her at the time. They were just going about daily life. And these raiders came into her community. And they grandma was too old to have any value, so they left her behind, but they took a joke and they took her mother as slaves. And so they take them to the slave camp in the north and they were separated. Mom was taken, you know, to one family. Duke was taken to another and basically now her life just became this nightmare of doing whatever her slave master. Told her that she was to do. She was raped by this man, even though he had his own family. He raped a joke. She got pregnant twice. And finally, he was able to come into freedom just a few years ago because she happened to meet this Arab slave liberator that we partner with to go in and negotiate freedom for these slaves. And he found he'd met her at a market. He identified that she was likely a slave, began to have dialog and said, look, I think we can get you out. And thank God we were able to do that.

The Untold Story of Chris Henry
"It was a guy named Chris Henry that played on our team. This dude was the freakish athlete I've ever seen outside of myself. And I think he was more freakish of an athlete than I was because he ran a four three and a 40. He was 230 pounds. He did the bench press like 30 something times. The duke of bench press four 5 like it was going out of style. That dude looked like the predator. He was ripped, he was fast, he was athletic, coach sent him on the bench every single year. I remember when I first got to the school, I'm like, this dude is not playing. What is going on? He's the fastest dude on the team and he's 230 pounds. The duke can play in the NFL today. Then what happened was our coach, it was like we were playing Oregon and like three running backs got hurt. And they were forced to put him in the game. He ran for four touchdowns against Oregon. And we won the game. He ended up finishing the finish in the season, and he got drafted in the NFL, in the second round. He played four games in his whole career, and he left as a junior, so he left early and got dressed in the second round. He tied, he actually beat agent Peterson in the combine for the fastest 40, but then when they did the results, they ended up having to same 40 time. He destroys agent Peterson in the stats. That dude did not play a single game. And coach used to pump up these other dudes. It's one dude named grigsby. And grigsby didn't even get into NFL. Green street didn't even get a tryout. That dude didn't get drafted at all and coach started him for three years in front of Chris Henry. I mean, it's just the craziest thing. Even myself. Like, I was a freak out that I ran four three and 40. I did the bench like 30 some times. I had a 44 inch vertical leap. 11 7 on the bra jump. All of this while I was a freshman. I never had the 18 reps on the bench when I was a freshman. I could have went to the NFL combine and would have been the top safety when I was a freshman in college. But coach, you know, it was some of it was my fault I had a bad attitude. But coach didn't really like me. One of my best Friends, my friend BJ dinard. He played both sides of the ball. And coach didn't like him, had him on the bench, had some sorry dudes playing. We were losing games, man. Y'all probably think I'm playing. Go back and look at it. We were losing games. Had to trash his dues playing safety. Our corners were pretty good, but they had some all right, I'm going to tell you another story. I know y'all probably don't want to hear this, but I feel like saying anyways, my radio show. We had this dude named Adrian mccovey. That dude literally, they would not let him hit people in practice because he had, he had knocked out three office alignment unconscious, and then he knocked one dude out and he quit playing football. That's how crazy Adrian mccovey was.

I mean, northwestern and Princeton both win their first round. I don't know that that's ever happened before. Duke one, that's the other smart kid school. So that's kind of we're used to duke winning because they have a subdivision. A basketball major that people take advantage of. But I'm just amazed. We had duke UCLA, Penn State won something. Now that's kind of remarkable. If you're in Ohio State fan, you realize Penn State doesn't win a lot. I told you that Arkansas won too, so senator cotton will be a little bit insufferable, but maybe by Saturday night they'll come down to earth. Auburn. Northwestern Tennessee and Houston, and if you don't know this, a lot of beltway journalism depends upon the output of school graduates, I think model is probably the best connected journalism school. More than Columbia, more than Missouri, more than the other fine programs like Syracuse and Ohio university, which is not an accredited college, but nevertheless had a good television program.

"Anniversary of the day he walked on the moon. We'll be right back. Let's welcome back 50 years ago today. My guest walked on the moon. General Charlie duke, Charlie, we were talking about your faith. Let's go back just 50 years ago to this day. You land on the lunar surface. Who got out first? Was it you or your colleague John? The commander always gets out first. The reason is he's on the left side. The lunar module pilots on the right side and the hatches between us and the exits you to the lunar surface and so I opened the hatch, but the hatch weighing towards me. So that leads the commander a clear path to get out. And then once he's out, you wait ten minutes, shut the hatch, and then climb over, walk over to his side, and then open the hatch and then you have a clear clear path to get out. So the commander on the left side just due to the way the hatch opened, he gets out for it. So you were the tenth man to walk on the moon 12 men walked on the moon and you were number ten and the youngest. That's correct. By four months, one 80 big deal bit the youngest, but being the tense man was a big deal for me. I mean, I'm on the moon and I trained two years for this and I was so excited. So what is it like to walk down that ladder and to put your foot, which has never been any place, but on the earth, on the surface of the moon. Can you remember that moment? I remember you hop you go down the ladder face into lunar module. So you're basically hopping down in the moon's behind you and you just pop down, step by step, and then you drop down to the foot pad, and you hold on and turn around and you take that first step. And I'm out and it was so exciting. I'm on the moon. I'm on the moon. It was like a little kid at Christmas and holiday and birthday. And all these wonderful memories floating in and that enthusiasm and excitement, the wonder, the emotionally experience you're having was just almost overwhelming, but that excitement and adventure never let me, it was just amazing to me to every place we went. You saw something different, different shapes, different colors. Now, when you say every place we met, we have to get to the, what did they call the vehicle? What did you call the vehicle that you drove around in? Lunar rover. Okay, so how do you get the lunar rover? I mean, what is that? The glove compartment, you pull it out. I mean, how do you land this lunar module? Where is the lunar rover? I've never really asked this question before. So now I'm asking you. Okay, you're climbing down the ladder and there's a compartment on the right side on the outside of the spacecraft. And the rovers folded up like the front end folds over on the center and the rear wheels fold over on the center and it's just bolted to the outside of the spacecraft and then you have something mechanical advantage and so you start pulling these cables, John on one side and I don't know from the lunar surface and it just jacks it out and when it gets to be about 45° all the cables get taught it pulls the pans and it just unfolds like landing gear on an airplane. It sounds like some pretty good engineering whoever put that together. You're right. It was perfect. We had a 5 by 5 square and this rover was 5 feet, but I ten feet, so you had to get the ten foot down to 5 feet and that's why I folded over on one another and they just bolted it up there and it worked when it flopped open. It was assembled except you had to put up the seats and unplug it. We're going to go to another dreaded break, but we'll.

"Long as Jesus doesn't return. Do you ever get any pushback? I mean, you are a man of science to say the least who is a man of profound faith, as you know, there's a false narrative out there in the culture that faith and science are somehow at odds. Obviously for you that's ridiculous. But do you ever get any pushback on that from people who don't can't imagine that you're a man of faith? Yeah, I've been to a couple of conferences where most of the scientists not all, but most of the scientists are skeptics, some outright atheists. And to me, the argument is not science versus religion. The arc argument that they present is creation versus evolution. So either, but those are terms that you can never prove scientifically. I believe in creation. But that's a bleed. They believe in creating evolution. They can't prove it's scientifically. There's no way that you can design an experiment in a lab to prove that creation is true. Nor can I design an experiment in the lab that would say creation is true. So it's not a matter of science versus religion. It's a police system of creation versus evolution. And that's where they got the hang up, I think they just don't want to believe it. There's a God. It has an infinite knowledge that can just speak it all into existence. And but that's what the script you say and I stand on the word of God. And well, I would prove it. I would say that science also points to a creator. We can talk about that another time. I'll send you a copy of my book on the subject because I think the evidence from science has become absolutely overwhelming, and the only thing you can do is not look at it because I just think the argument for a designer, you know. I agree with you. And my daughter at low Heidi duke is sent me a copy of your book, Eric and so that's the purpose of this conversation. Not to purpose, but one of the reasons that we're talking together, Heidi is a good supporter of you all, and a real strong believer. And she's given me a copy of the book. I have a story yet, but I'll look forward to it. I'm so grateful to her and to your son for connecting us. I was so excited when we met at some event. I can't remember it's a couple of years ago, but I just thought I'd be so honored to talk to you. Little did I dream that I would talk to you on the 50th anniversary of the day that you walked on the moon. So I hope we can get you to New York or we can do a Socrates in the city, event in person, but we'll have to leave it here for now. I am just so grateful to you, Charles duke, for your time, for your service to this nation in walking on the moon 50 years ago today. Thank you, sir, and God bless you. And God bless you. Thank you very much. I've enjoyed it, and I look forward to come into.

"Listening and about what was the Bible says about Jesus from genesis to revelation as the story of Jesus and so we get over the New Testament and the scriptures kept becoming more and more real unheard of when I was young. And I got to the point where Jesus says, I'm the way the truth and the life, and nobody comes to God except through me. And the thought occurred to me, you know, that's the truth or the biggest lie ever perpetrated against humanity. And I get to decide whether it's the truth, and many other scriptures, but at the end of that weekend, I got in the car with my wife and I looked over at her, I said, dawn, there's no doubt in my life that Jesus Christ is the son of God, I said lord come into my life and from the very first time I experienced a piece of God. It was a tremendously moving moment. And I saw my business, so I didn't have any. Thing to go work to. And so I started reading the Bible. The next morning, Monday morning, I started reading the Bible. And I read red and red red. The more I became the red, the more convicted I became, God spoke to me about the scene in my life through the scriptures. Husbands love you wise as Christ loved the church. I never did, but I wanted to. So I'll repent it. You have the power of life and death in your tongue. And you can speak life or death. And so I've spoken to death and to my kids, I was on a black drill sergeant. And at first, I said, God spoke to my heart and said, you of course, your own kids. I love these boys. What do you mean? And convicted me. So I went in tears and repented. And that healed our family and started healing our marriage when I went to my wife and God showed me what I had not done and what I had done. So I repented and he forgave me she for gave me the boys gave me and we started building our family on a solid rock of Jesus. And that was in 1978 and we're still, now we got 9 grandchildren and I'm not cursing my grandchildren anymore. I never have. I'm blessing them. The words of life are in the scriptures. And so then they talk to me about money, you know? And it gave me a generous heart. And we started given into the church given to Christian causes and the more I gave the more God gave and just gathered and should be given to you. And so it was a dramatic change in our lifestyle and about 6 8 months later after this transformation began, I got an invitation to speak at a church up in curve hill, Texas. And it was no, the first was in San Antonio to a youth group. And back then, every time I thought about Jesus, I'd get upright and prayed. Lord, don't let me cry in front of all these kids. And you know, I'm a grim job, stelian fighter power. Don't let me cross. So I went to this youth group and I started speaking and 20 minutes was like we talked about was about space and going to the moon and our challenging it was. There are talking about Jesus and I started tearing up. Every time I thought about Jesus, I'd start period with that joy. Tears of joy and their eyes got real big and you know and so after it was over and they were touched and I could tell it listening. And so I got home and I said, I started playing. I said, lord, why don't you let me cry? And I can't say I heard the voice of the lord but I knew the spirit was speaking to my heart was as hard to be proud when you cried. That knows how to humble you. And just like right now I'm getting Terry, what I think about that, God knows us so well. He knows the problem and a heart and pride is a big problem, especially for the body that walked on the moon. And listen, I've never walked on the moon and I struggle with pride.

Hey there, folks. I'm talking to Charles duke 50 years ago on this day. He walked on the lunar surface. General duke, did you ever think that, you know, just looking into the future that there'd be a moment when you'd be in your mid 80s, looking back 50 years, it just is an amazing thing because, you know, those of us who are alive at that time, I think many of us just thought, well, we're just going to keep going to the moon, but did you already know, for example, when you were on the moon that there was only one more plan to Apollo mission? Yes, we did. The final three missions were canceled. By NASA headquarters. And so we knew that we were next to last. And everybody bemoaned the fact that we were going to give up and not use up the rest of the vehicles, but that was the decision. NASA decided we've learned a lot about the moon and let's go to space station and space shuttle and use that for the next 30 years. Turned out. I don't think anybody thought it was going to last that long. The shuttle, but that's what it. But now NASA is looking back going back to the moon with the program called Artemis, which is due to launch the first experimental ones, test flights, let me put it that way. Sometimes this decade early in probably 2025. I mean, you mentioned at the beginning of the program. It's the first that I heard of it unless I heard of it and forgot it. But that's an amazing thing that we are currently planning to go to the moon again and at first I guess we set up a monkey just to make sure it's safe or how do we do that? Well, no, we know the moon is safe. We've been there 6 times as and what we need to do is learn how to land it safely. They want to go to the South Pole, which is more daylight and more in sunlight and it would be, it would be a cooler environment down there. And to see exactly what that's like. And so the whole basis of the Artemis program is to slowly build up the lunar capability to into a scientific base and then exploration of that area of the moon and have a permanent presence on the moon. The cycle cruise back and forth and supplies back and forth over the next hour of the long. How amazing. I mean, I'm astonished to hear this and I'm glad to hear this. I know that your friend Buzz Aldrin for years has talked about how we need to get back into space and was an advocate of going to Mars, which of course is a much more significant layout of energy, money, planning, and how long would it take to get there more than a couple of days? Well, a trip to Mars is ten times harder than a trip to the moon. Once you leave earth orbit, you're on your own. And so you got to be able to repair that spacecraft. It's a 6 month journey there under the present propulsion capability and in orbit Mars and then come back home. And that's year and a half maybe. And so everything's got to work. And the crew is exposed to cosmic radiation for all that duration. And it's going to be a psychological challenge, I think, because you're in daylight, the whole time. And you have to artificial life. And there's just a lot of problems to overcome. But the human spirit, I think, is to explore. God's given us, I think, a desire to explore his universe. And that's not only the heavens, but under the sea and microscopically and all of that is an inquisitive nature about us. And I think that's God given and we'll see that continue as.

Folks, welcome back. I'm talking to general Charlie duke who 50 years ago today, walked on the surface of the moon. Before we go farther, Charlie, you're a man of faith. When did that happen in your life? It was not during the time that we're talking about 50 years ago was subsequent to that. Yes. It did. I get a question a lot. Said going to the moon change a life. It did not. But I came back. I'd always believed in God. We were church goers, took out a family every Sunday to our little Episcopal Church and Laporte Texas. Anyway, but I was frustrated. I was 36 when I landed on the moon. And now, climbed a ladder of success now what? I had no peace. A marriage was falling apart. And but fortunately, some people came to, in 1975, some people came to our little parish church. And they started talking about Jesus. Personal testimony. In an Episcopal Church, that's unheard of. Back then, it was okay. But not right now, it's hard. But. My wife listened intently. And she was on the verge of suicide. And this was in October 1975. And she heard these people and she realized I've tried everything in my life, but Jesus. And so after the weekend was over, she went in a bedroom prey. More Jesus, if you realize I gave you my life, if you're not, I want to die. Well, Jesus came into our life. He's a lot in too much later. And I watched a change from sadness to joy. About this time, we were moving and I was leaving NASA and I was starting a business, you know, a lot of money and I'm going to make a lot of money and that's going to give me peace. Well, I'd started a business and in San Antonio. And two years of struggle with that, that was successful financially, but I was miserable. So I sold out and April of 1978, some people from our church, now we change. We were still in Episcopal Church, which was sort of diocese was sort of evangelical. And so a friend of mine asked me to go to the Bible study. And I went through a bottle of study on a weekend act of the local tennis club. And it was life-changing, of course, for their started.

"Given a go. Now, what were the, what were the issues you were having, where they weather related? No, there was no weather on the moon. That's a joke. That was a joke. I got you, Charlie duke. Okay. No, so what happened that made you possibly not be able to land? Well, it wasn't anything in our spacecraft was in his spacecraft, the command module. And he had to change his orbit on the far side of the moon to get in a proper phase so that we aborted it. He would be out in front of us and we could join up from behind. And so, but he couldn't do the something wrong with the main engine and he couldn't do that maneuver. So that meant no landing on the next hour. So we orbited the moon for two revolutions before mission control said we know what's wrong. We can't fix it, but here's a work around and they gave him a workaround and so they told us if this successful burn you'll go for the next landing. And by the way, that was the last opportunity we had so that as a moon drifted out from under us, we could get back to our landing spot. Anyway, so he did to burn and we was successful. We came around and then we started our descent 6 hours by schedule. It's a chilling thing for most of us civilians to think about the concept of crawling into the lunar module and detaching from the thing that brought you there from Planet Earth and navigating that little thing down to the surface of the moon and then having to navigate it back up and couple again and go it's really a staggering thing. I imagine that because this had been done a couple of times before it was maybe not as nerve wracking as it was when Neil and buzz did it. Nonetheless, you'd never done this before. What did that feel like that moment of being detached and suddenly drifting down in this spidery looking thing? It was a feeling of we're ready to go and thank goodness we got the opportunity and so we were proud for landing. And your focus was doing a checklist right and getting everything ready to go and as you started down to land and a proper place at the proper moment and the proper proper time. And so you focus was always looking forward to the landing and as you started your descent, then it turned to making sure you kept the spacecraft running correctly. And with great anticipation, we were on our way down. And what a feeling of release, especially after we delayed for 6 hours. So we were primed, we were ready to go and we were on high alert, if you will, to handle any emergency in the spacecraft. But we had none. We started down and little communication problem, but they fixed that. And.

"Wow. I have to ask you about the lunar rover. Getting in that sucker and buzzing around like on a dune buggy on the surface of the moon, it's just mind-blowing, was Apollo 16, the first time that there was a lunar rover or was there one on Paula 15. There was one on Apollo 15, they were the first. Excuse me. And then so when you get in, they get in. Let me back up a little bit with all of my gear on down here on the surface of the earth. I weighed 363 pounds. Up on the moon only 60 pounds. So to get in the rover you face forward the outreach stand I'm on the right side. I reached in and grabbed hold of one of the antennas, and you just do a couple of little bounces and you jump up in the air and pull yourself in, and you land on the seat, but you sort of straight, then you buckle your seatbelt and pull and set yourself in so that you're more vertical and you can see straight ahead. Hang on one second to go to another break, we're going to continue the conversation with general Charlie duke when we come back. Can decide who that should be. I understand about it doesn't matter. People that I got my tissues to have I be so long. In case you haven't been paying attention. The Biden administration has caused a financial crisis and they have no clue how to fix it. Oil prices have skyrocketed and when oil prices go up, the cost of transportation and shipping spikes leading the prices of goods to rise. And when we're already seeing record inflation, that's the last thing we need. Our economy is in trouble and you need to take steps to protect yourself. If all your money is tied up in stocks, bonds and traditional markets, you are vulnerable. Gold is one of the best ways to protect your retirement. No matter what happens, you own your gold. It is real. It is physical. It's always been valuable since the dawn of time. Legacy precious metals is the company I trust for investing in gold. They can help you roll your retirement account into a gold backed IRA where you still own the physical gold. They can also ship gold and precious metals safely and securely to your house called legacy at 8 6 6 5 two 8 1903 or visit them online at legacy p.m. investments dot com. Darling darling. Folks welcome back. You know they can put a man on the moon, but they can't design a pillow that's comfortable. Actually, I take that back. My friend Mike lindell designed a comfortable pillow. You probably want to go to my pillow dot com. Use the code Eric, otherwise you won't get the discount. He's also invented towels. It's amazing the technology we have today. Inventing towels and pillows. But we're talking about technology at 50 years ago with the man who 50 years ago today walked on the surface of the moon. So Charlie duke, you said that you get into this lunar rover and again, it's very hard for us to imagine the freedom, you're literally on the surface of the moon and self contained spacesuit, and you're driving around. How far were you able to go before you start worrying about getting back? I thought a lot about how far we should go. Being the second rover, we decided to limit ourselves to about 5 miles. And we practiced down here in a simulated lean order of gravity that we could walk back 5 miles. And so the objective was to drive out to the limit 5 miles and then start working your way back and exploring that project that tribal. And so we drove a total of almost 27 miles north 17 miles, 27 kilometers, and maximum speed we hit was probably 15 miles an hour. And it was a bumpy ride, but the soup bounce keeps you in, and it bounces a lot. And the steering is real sensitive, though you're fishtailing a lot and but it never felt like it was going to roll over all this. We spun out a couple of times. One 80, but it was a fun ride and a great way to explore the moon. Prior to the rover, you know, you walked 500 yards, and that was it. But I was going to say, so try to walk in those suits is obviously not easy. I know it's not, but you get in a one 6th gravity. It's a little easier. You sort of Frankenstein walk and you keep going and if you're going up a hill, you're so to hop, if you're going down a hill, you sort of skip. Each person had his own individual scheme about how you motivated on your feet. A little bit different, everybody. But that's the way I did it, and it was comfortable for me..

"Time, Neil said, I can't land. The trajectory was leading him in to a big bolder feel of rocks and craters. So he had to level off at about 500 feet out and fly across the moon several miles. He found a spot that was capable of landing. So a slow pitched up slowed down and started down like a helicopter, well that extra few miles used up a lot of fuel and so now we're getting to minimum fuel. And propulsion engineer called flight. It was talking to flight director flight, 60 seconds. In other words, he had 60 seconds to land, and then we were going to call on the board. So I said eagle 60 seconds. 30 seconds later, the flight control said 30 seconds like and I call up eagle 30 seconds. And we're still one on the ground. But 13 seconds later, Buzz Aldrin said contact engine stop and we knew they were on the ground and we were so tense. It was just like we were overcome with tension in mission control. And when he said contact, I knew they were on the ground. A few seconds later, Neil Armstrong said, very calmly, Houston tranquility base here, the eagle is landed. I mean, it was a calmest voice in the whole procedure. And then I was so excited. I couldn't even pronounce tranquility. It came out roger twang and I corrected myself, tranquility, we copy you on the ground. You got a bunch of guys at turning blue. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot. And so with some Karen and mission control, then everybody got back to work because if we sprung a leak during that touchdown, we had to be prepared to lift off almost immediately. So it was a great style relief. We made it and the first landing attempt was successful and I just find that, I don't know why I find myself overcome with emotion to hear you recount that, unbelievable history. Great, great American history, unlike anything in the history of the world, the idea that you were in the middle of it as it was happening, and that it didn't, it didn't need to go well, but by the grace of God, it did go well. Just incredible. Did you, did you have ambitions? Because we know a couple of years later, you got to walk on the moon. Did you have ambitions early on as an astronaut at what point in your career did you think this was something that might happen for you? Well, that was a young lieutenant in 1965. I just graduated from test pilot school. And I had met some astronauts when I was getting my master's degree at MIT a few years before. And they were enthusiastic. And I said, man, that'd be a great job. And so I was as well as Cooper was really sort of really sort of the focus of getting to NASA. And so about a month later in September of 19 60 5, our NASA had another group applied and was selected and became an astronaut in August of April of 1966. But we were the low ones on the total. We were the rookies. And opportunity to fly was slam, but we had a series of acts of us. Back then, we had three astronauts killed in a spacecraft fire. We had 4 kWh airplane accidents. One kill in an automobile. I have a big memory of that. I was a kid, but when we come back, folks, I'm going to continue my conversation with Charles duke, youngest man ever to have walked on the moon, did so..

"Moon. We'll be right back. Don't return down now don't know who I tell you tell me, Eric, why is relief factor so successful at lowering or eliminating pain? I'm often asked that question, the owners of relief factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal, and I agree with them. So the doctors who formulated relief factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug free ingredients, each helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway, and that right there approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. So if you've got back pain, shoulder neck hip knee or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three week quick start discounted to only 1995 to see if it will work for you. It works for me. It has for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more, go to relief factor dot com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer, feel the difference.

Holy cow, folks, I'm so excited, I'm about to burst, we've got a whole room of people about to turn blue over here. Because I've got a guest right now who claims we don't know. We have no proof to have walked on the moon 50 years ago today, general Charles duke, welcome to this program. I thought you very much, there's a lot of proof that we really landed on the moon. I happen to believe that you did. I happen to believe that you did, and I am so excited and honored to be talking to you, not just to be talking to you, but to be talking to you on the 50th anniversary today of your having set foot on the lunar surface and not just that, but as the youngest man ever to walk on the moon, yes? Yes, that's correct. I was 30 36 when I stepped onto the moon. 86, and I'm still the youngest man that walked on the moon. See, now that's the funniest thing of all. You are to this day, the youngest man who walked on the moon. Yes, sir. But hopefully the title retained the title, but hopefully before I die, I will relinquish that to someone from Artemis, but one of the younger astronauts can claim they're the youngest in the mode. Do you think someone I wasn't expecting to go there so quickly, but do you think that in your lifetime it's possible somebody I mean, I've really just lost hope that anybody wants to go to the moon. You happen to be on the inside, so you would know. Well, I'm not officially with NASA anymore, but I stay current with what's going on. And the Artemis program, which is scheduled to land somebody on the moon by the end of the decade, is proceeding very, very well. And we have a rocket called the SLS on the launch pad, if that checkout goes well, we'll have an unmanned launch sometimes this year. And then we'll start doing test flights with the command module. And we'll send somebody to the moon, probably not onto the moon, but at least to the moon. This decade. I can't believe that nothing's changed. In a thousand years, at the end of the decade, we're going to put a man on the moon. It's kind of funny, actually. I've got to ask you this so much I want to ask you now, you are a general. So if you're on a base someplace, people call you general. You're letting me call you Charlie, but that's just because you're a nice guy, but you are a general. That's.

"So, okay, so when a couple of minutes, we have a man who walked on the moon for real on this program, no kidding, okay? Now, you know, what that makes me think of. Yeah. They can put a man on the moon. But they can invent a pillow that's comfortable for most users. And then I realized, wait a minute, wait a minute. They did put a man on the moon and they also invented a pillow, in fact, my friend Mike lindell invented a pillow. And if you go to my pillow dot com and use the code Eric, you get a whopping discount and he also invented towels. Oh yeah, they're the best. He invented all this stuff. My pillow dot com. Now, by the way, that's the technology we live in, that we were able to put a man on the moon and only about 40 years later, Mike lindell was able to invent this next level state of the art pillow and all this other stuff. And if you don't go to my pillow dot com or my store dot com and use the code Eric, you are anti science. That's right. You're an enemy of science. And that pillow is our version of Tang. Exactly. That's exactly correct. That's exactly right. I just hope Charlie duke doesn't say like, walking on the moon. Not all what's cracking up the deal. No big deal. Big deal. Okay, so in a couple of minutes to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Charlie duke walking on the moon. And now he's a man of profound Christian faith. I should say that. Profound Christian faith, they got to meet his son, and that's how I was connected to him. So we're talking to him in a minute. In our two, we're going to do our regularly scheduled ask metaxas, where you all write in and ask questions and I try to answer them. And then if we can keep Charlie duke around because, you know, it's only the 50th anniversary. I'm sure he has nothing else to do. We'll keep talking to Charlie duke. Otherwise, we'll figure out what we're going to do. By the way, last week, I actually don't know who we are this week. David berlinski. Oh, yeah. I think folks. David berlinski, if you have not seen my video, sign up for our newsletters, which is Eric metaxas dot com. David berlinski, he's a mathematician, a philosopher, a raccoon.

I just checked, right? And if that's not enough, I spoke to Oz Guinness. That's right. Both of them Monday. Oh my goodness. So we've just had crazy, wonderful guests. And because I'm in the middle of a book deadline, we are re airing some interviews that I've done. We're going to re air or did we re air the Rudy Giuliani interview? Yeah, we did. We did that on Tuesday. Oh my gosh. But Dave Rubin, new interview coming up on Friday tomorrow. So I think I want to tell people as well. There's a movie coming out. Now, if you're not aware of this, I will keep talking about this. This is a big deal. Salem now dot com. If you go to Salem now dot com, there's a raft of films which I believe you'll want to watch. One of them is called whose children are they, and we're going to be doing an interview with the people who made that film that may be today actually that I do the interview with them. But the other film at Salem now dot com is called 2000 mules. Yes, yes. Now folks, mules are people who do illegal activity. They get paid. The film 2000 mules, if you refuse to watch it, it's like the people who refuse to look through Galileo's telescope. You don't want to know the truth. The truth is incontrovertible. It is astonishing, and if you would dare to argue with it, I would say you better watch the film before you open your mouth to argue with it because you simply won't believe it. It is an astonishing accomplishment, it is available at Salem now dot com soon. The premiere is going to be in a couple of weeks. Yeah, yeah, it's coming up. But I want to tell people, it's simply it's too much to bear because dinesh d'souza genius that he is, he brings the evidence, it's clear, and your life will never be the same once you've seen it. Once you know, because some of you listening to this program, you don't know. I tell you, you're going to know, and the world is going to change because we're going to have to deal with this information. So it's 2000 mules. You can see it at Salem now dot com. Don't forget whose children are they, which is a good question at Salem now, dot com. Can you tell I have a cold? I sound stuff. Do you have a bit of a cold? Yeah. All right, well, listen, folks.

That we're going to answer your questions every week in the second hour of the program on Thursday. Is it Thursday? Yes. That's right. So that's today. So here it is. This is now out of this world, ask me taxes. Let's just put it down. Here we go. So you ask the question. Let's do that. I'll try to answer. Please do. Hello, this person writes, I only recently became aware of your talk show and enjoy and appreciate it. But can you briefly list your reasons for being against the vaccine and other restrictions placed upon us. These issues have divided my family and I really don't know who to believe. Thank you. Wow, that's a big and serious question. Yeah. I think it boils down to this. While the whole COVID thing was going on, it became clear that the bureaucrats, the leaders in the medical establishment, the CDC, Fauci and company, it became pretty clear that they had what looked to me like contempt for American citizens in the way that they parsed out information in the way that they would say things and if the actual facts contradicted it, they would sneer. In other words, they didn't seem to rise to the level of honesty and transparency that is utterly necessary when you're dealing with any crisis much less a health crisis because what is paramount is trust is that people know that you're giving them the facts and that they can weigh the facts and make their own decisions. And I found it so amazing that all of the negative information about the vaccines was suppressed, that if you tried to honestly, as we did on this program, say, look, we didn't have a dog in the fight, but we've read this, and there's this. And people, YouTube knocked us off the air. And I thought to myself, that's not how you behave if you have nothing to hide. You don't behave that way. And so it made me increasingly suspicious. And then of course, I heard of tons of people and read tons about adverse effects of the vaccine. And I thought to myself, you know what? If you want to take a risk with something, that's on you, but the idea that they weren't talking about the risk. They weren't talking to everybody was sort of being bullied into this. It was despicable, it is a dark moment in American history that we've lived through and we're still to some extent living through it. But there was so much negative information that I thought to myself, why is person would think twice three and 5 times before they get this experimental jab, which wasn't even really a vaccine. So I actually thought to myself, you could get it and be fine. But you could also get it. And maybe have all kinds of health problems, then who do you complain to? So I thought wisdom would dictate that I and most people I know didn't get it because they thought I'd rather just get COVID and I'll deal with it. And that's exactly what happened. And so and you and I both know people personally who had adverse effects to the vaccine. They're very adverse effects. And and you're not allowed to talk about that. And I just thought the idea that you're not allowed to talk about something is offensive to me. And so it's going to make me talk about it way more. And I also think that the idea of vaccine passports, the idea that in New York, you couldn't go into a restaurant unless you showed them your little Nazi papers. And I thought, well, how has America gotten to this point? I got to a restaurant. And the guy said that to me, the restaurant was almost empty, and I got really upset. So I opened up my wall and he said, oh, no, that's okay. I've seen it. Go ahead, go ahead. Well, I have to say that people were putting such uncomfortable positions. And if you want to know what happened in Nazi Germany, all the good soldiers, like you have a job someplace, and your boss tells you, make sure nobody comes in. You become this enforcer. The whole thing was going to something more cheerful. Okay,.

"And I came off target with a nose up, and I rolled to the starboard side, right side for you air force pukes. Rolled over to the starboard side, and I looked down and I said, well, look at that target we just hit. It just decimated it with a rock eyes. I later last two years ago going back to that site. And saw where I hit and still damaged, but I rolled back and Brian grant my wingman said, duke, MiGs at 7 o'clock. And I turned to the port, so I left side. And I looked and here are two big 17s closing on me like this, and they're coming downhill, and they had a lot of speed. Two days prior to that on 8 May, I had a MiG on either side of me and I turned start, rice starboard, and a shot, and I turned port and they shot ahead of me. I knew if I went pure vertical, that they would rendezvous. I mean, kill me. So I rolled and I put 12 G's on the airplane, broke both flat hinges in the airplane. Airplane was down for over a month when I got back. And I drove into the clouds, and there were mountains down there. I didn't know if I was going to head a mountain, but that's the only option that I had. But when back to the 10 May, when I came off, I had all those switches set, and I looked at this guy a mix 17 doesn't have hydraulically boosted controls. It takes a bit gomer in there to pull that pole. He can't, at that speed, it's almost impossible, so I said, okay, he's going fast. I can break into him. He can't make this turn. His weinmann behind him went vertical. And so when he overshot, I reversed, and the only thing I had to do is pull the trigger. I didn't have to go to four switches labs ready to direct arm and set the gun sight. And that's where I say, you fight like you train. Yeah, I was down and locked hundred miles away from the closest big, but I had trained myself when I see that I'm going to be ready. And he blew up. And then the other guy coming down and I used what we call MiG 17 disengagement maneuver. A mix 17 our eye roll at 250° a second. He only rolls at a hundred and 34° a second. And so I roll real quick as he's rolling real slow, I pull away from him and then I unload reverse inspect and about the time he just starting to come to try and get guns to me. Will I roll again?

"It doesn't tell you that it takes a mathematician to figure out if you're getting a horizontal turn. They're going to climb on your butt and you're going to kill you. So those kinds of things when I got into combat, my first MiG, I never believed that a MiG would ever beat me. And none did. You mentioned an unnamed area as this mysterious place in Nevada. It was just a hunch, they spent, I spent a lot of time up there, especially when I was in Congress, and I was chairman of Intel committee, subcommittee. I got up there and because you couldn't learn everything, it compartmentalized and I said, I want to see everything. I got to ask, did you see anything at that point that you know the answer is that you still can't tell us? No, okay. You can't tell anything about the area. Gotcha. Even today, even today. I don't want to end up in leavenworth. That's fair enough. And what other quick note I made myself was amazing. When you were when you were maybe in high school and you're learning trigonometry, would you ever have believed that you would use trigonometry in combat in figuring out closure rates and cutting across the circle and things like that? I was always good at math. And I enjoyed math, but I used it to show people mathematically how they were making mistakes. And when I showed them that, they said, what else you got, duke? And I used math and a lot of cases on closure rates and because when you're flying against an airplane, it's like two fists not wings and that fist is movement and you're trying to maintain a certain position on that and mathematics always comes and music comes into that too. Music. The rhythm of being, you know, any reversion. It's kind of arithmetic thing that you've got and it's just in your mind when you're looking at those kind of things. And I used all of those. I never thought about one minus the cosine of the angle off when I'm turning it against a MiG. I knew what I was doing. And cutting across the circle or if one was cutting across me, I knew how to do a high G barrel roll or something like that. It was all automatic. Wow. Wow. I'll tell you another side story, though. When we were training, I went down to an area in actually my first cruise in Vietnam, went down a place called analog. It was hundred miles away from the closest MiG, and I had a different wingman at this day. And we were bombing a target and dropped rock guy on it, and as I was a 142 mils on the gun sight, well, as I pulled off, I said to my wingman, I said 35 mils, which is the mill setting for your sidewinders and sparrow that bore sights your missile to your airplane..

"Case. And I wrote about it at the time. I do Carolina game in the modern media landscape that when there had never been a scenario where one of the teams playing in the game was reduced to an afterthought. And that's exactly what happened in North Carolina in that spot. It was, we kind of got to invite you here, scoot on over 8 miles up the road, get your 40 minutes in, take the L head back home, appreciate you coming. Thanks so much. And because of that, I actually think it did, it really served UNC tremendously well. I also had detail in that column that night when they went like Hubert Davis, the previous game, I can't remember if it was clumps and I don't have the restaurant. Or maybe it was wake. They had won a game and then like the second Hubert Davis walked in the locker room. The next game was duke and it was like no time to celebrate duke prep starts right here right now. Right here right now because they had kicked their ass the previous time and all of that served Carolina well, kind of like sitting and hiding, you know, getting 3% of the media coverage leading up to that game. I think the fact that duke went through all of that going up to the game, it was basically as big of a media event that you could ever have that's not in the final four. It was incredible how much attention all the media that descended upon Durham, obviously they had like a huge college football Saturday tailgate feel, you know, the players had to talk about everyone, right? So I think that it actually serves duke well that they, it's still going to be bigger here at the final four, but that they went through those motions, I think it actually does serve them well. As for the result, it's interesting. I think in terms of the fans on each side of this, if you're a duke fan, you're way more stressed on this. Like Carolina, I get it. You don't want to lose to duke for the first time in the tournament on a final four stage. I understand that. And duke went over UNC on a certain level. It doesn't, it does not erase what happened at the end of the regular season. It just doesn't. But if duke could beat Carolina and then win the national championship, I mean, it's as much possible redemption as you could possibly ask for outside of like beating you and seeing in the ACC tournament, which just didn't happen, right? So I think if you're a fan of duke, you're understandably your anxiety levels are a bit higher. If your Carolina, they're still there, but man, GP. It just feels like it's a bit of a house money situation. And if I'm UNC, even though we got to go in, we got to execute. We got to upload duke duke's played amazingly well. Carolina has as well. And it has under its belt, the fact that the most recent time that these two teams played, we went into your house, and we absolutely trounced you. We kicked you out of your own gym. So I think the actual and I can't wait to see on Thursday and Friday. How much that result is downplayed by everyone, even though you can't downplay it. Like the players are gonna be like, that's a whole new game. You know, that was that, this is this. That was then this is now, I don't want to hear any of that. Carolina fans and those Carolina players know that they completely de pants duke in that game. And I think that does give them a little bit of an attitude. But I slightly give it to you because it has, you know, it's the one that gets to avenge the loss. They are one and one. They are one on one. The duke does have a win as well. But I think everything pertaining to the mind going into this in the minds, I think it's awesome. The biggest, I got to ask this on radio GP. Biggest national semifinal ever. Or I kind of now, I was too young, you were obviously, I think you were soft when we were college. Duke going against undefeated UNLV. The year after, that one now, as a youngin, I remember loving that UNLV team, but I was just, you know, I was 9 ten years old. That one feels like it's the only thing that's close. But to me, duke UNC first time ever coach K going out, this is the biggest national semi ever. Maybe duke UNLV is considered the biggest national semifinal because of the way it because of the result of it. Right. Not going into it. But because of the result of it, whereas this is one that's going into it feels like it's you and LV was undefeated. That's the only thing. So that did ratcheted up. We don't have an undefeated factor here. I went through a lot of the Carolina stuff on a previous podcast. So I won't bore you with every detail again, but after they lost a wake for us by 22. You know, they dropped to 12 and 6 overall. They had four losses by at least 17 points. They were down to 43rd at Ken pom. They lost a pit on February 16th, dropped to 49th at Ken palm. But since they lost awake, their 16 and three since they lost a pit on February 16th, their ten and two. Check this out. I don't know if I've ever taught you this, but once we get to the off season, things slow down. You can go to Bart torvik dot com and put a start date and end date and look at data from two defined moments in time. And so if you go to February 17th, 2022, the day after Carolina lost a pit and you run the data from this from that point.

"So Jason had an earlier also having done that, they would have protected the athletes going forward because most mature people look and say, okay, it was a really bad decision that was made. They paid their penance now. We can move forward not on but move forward. I thought it was a missed opportunity. Yeah, and fine to your point is a really good one. I think the response if I understand what duke is saying here, the response would be, you know, that duke is handling this to teach these lessons and show the severity of it. But they didn't feel that that a suspension for banquero advanced the ball in that regard. Now people can agree or disagree with that. I may have handled I think I would have handled it differently. You know, and you guys don't recall that when the whole grace and Allen thing was going on after the second incident against Lauren state, you know, I felt that that duke was being reasonable and not suspending Alan. And I think Seth you and Jay Williams differed with me on that. Vehemently. And then after after the third one, I said, you know what, you guys are right. Like they would have been better to have done it earlier. And so, look, I don't know that there's a right answer here. That's why I'm respectful of everyone's opinions on this. There's no road map here, but I think we're all in agreement that if it were us, we would have done it differently. All right, let's get by the way, funds. We know you don't text anyway. You send these crazy voice messages. Fans like, you get, it's fine. It's a voice actor. The man tends voice. Textbook. I believe, I don't even know how to work that, but I know it works really well for you. So I give this whole name. Like, you know, you'll say, Jay, this is lafonta Ellis.

"Dude i mean mono the characters were not likeable bo and luke in this one were to slapsticky to the dial went from moderately clever too dumb as a brick in they just did not have the. I got a brother. I've never once in my life. Said i'm gonna hit you in the folk the deal get to hit you in the face with the phone. That's that's not a thing brothers. Do lisa you're also you're also not from appalachia. Do they even have phone books out there. Not that big. But but no i watched one i and i did. I hardly laughed at it. This is. This is where i started learning about. Started learning about suzanne's thing with the the duke boys those she's like that is not how sheriff acts that has not yet she starts going on about the cal of the characterization was all wrong and that kind of took me back can wait. Where's this person. What let this person into my house. yeah roscoe was weird too because like they tried to make him intimidating and failed like he was vaguely mean but he wasn't actually scary I mean was pretty close to the original character for the most part And flash the basset hound was adorable. I was glad to see him. So you know it's just that the same flash dole. No no the original flash was much older in this series and this one was much younger. Basset hound but it was still durable. Should up like all dogs. I like dogs. don't suck me saying let's i'm just making fun of basset. Hounds to to get him riled up all right weird hill to die on but okay. That's an easy way to get more worked up. You worked up joel. Basset hound house are dumb. Since your face here we go there just like the like retain water weird flex our buddy comedy than Dukes of hazzard the movie Then they went. Make dukes the beginning. Yeah which is weird that they would cause the movie. I don't think did very well In the box office and they made it. I mean there was granted was a tv movie but to go make a sequel to a movie. That didn't do great to begin with felt a little weird but little strained. Yeah i don't know. I i did feel like it was missing a lot of elements from the original show And i don't know who made that decision or why and i felt. It was a little weird they had you know. Jay directing something that he didn't have any part in writing. It's kevin smith and cop out like hey we got this property. Here's a chance to work with these people..

"On the location for the drifting scene where the generally makes several laps around the generally monument is actually Least circle in new orleans. Sean william scott openly regretted making this film. Critic say was too crude. Compared to the original he actually felt that if they had given them an r rating it would have allowed me. Johnny j to make them more enjoyable film Not sure he's right. I'm not sure i mean. He's right about regretting this film. Yes so after the success of starsky and hutch. Ben stiller and owen wilson were offered. Play the roles of luke. Duke accepted the offer as they did not feel it paid. Tribute to the original series as starsky and hutch. Did we still haven't done the starts now. We did discuss constantly now. We absolutely did that movie that show. I did ninety percent. Sure yes we did we did. Yeah 'cause i remember watching the movie. And i thought it was for the show. Okay i'm gonna take three in woman get minute. Maybe we didn't know i'm thinking about it. I don't know. I don't remember watching this series because i don't remember watching the series. I said exactly. What made me things that. I don't think i don't think we did. Because i don't remember making nope starsky and hutch graphic starsky and hutch. Really's holding positive. We'd done that i would. I was until i started thinking about it and added to the list. I guess anyway. Thank all right. So ben jones khuda from the tv series hated this movie primarily because a series was a family show and this movie was borderline are rated for sexual content language. It wasn't really like like the first one was a family show. Let's not be. let's not be stupid. i mean it. There was a lot of implication. But it wasn't a lot of implication strata. Basically what they did in this movie is they did what they implied in the in the show they they showed you what they implied in the show. Like the duke brothers. Were not like these innocent guys that were like the only person in that whole show. That was the guy that was like uncle. Jesse who was a moon steiner and it gave it up they talked about. He lived the whole ten commandments. And everything yeah he. He you know he was made for family. Catherine bach daisy duke and duke brothers. Come on that's it. They're not like family friendly. You know they're not angels but they're not really stupid and unlikable which was. My biggest problem was was not a single likable character. And i'm not saying that Here we go again turn it up. Bring no go ahead. Sorry didn't mean. And i'm not gonna say i didn't like anybody but it's willie nelson was being himself and he's likable and jessica. Simpson was being hot. But she wasn't exactly playing a character and everybody else was aggressively unpleasant and stupid even actors who i like other stuff like this movie was aggressively stupid and i..
