"Totally. I want to close with this Dennis kind of just more broadly about the country. Your book on America is phenomenal. You coined the American Trinity, which I use quite often in God we trust liberty and E pluribus Unum. I'm afraid that all three are simultaneously under attack from within. I'm not going to ask you whether or not your optimistic or pessimistic because I already know your answer. It's completely irrelevant. There's no good way to answer it. Instead, let me ask you this. Are you starting to see a revival from people, at least from what you're seeing to get us closer towards a restoration of liberty? Well, given that I'm neither prone to optimism or pessimism, there will be some credibility in my answer. If San Francisco kicks out three of its members of its school board, we are approaching messianic times. That's all I can say. I mean, if that doesn't give you reason to at least perceive the beginnings of the counter revolution, then nothing will. I mean, they kicked out the head of the school board, who then charges all of these mostly Asian Asians in San Francisco with white supremacy. I mean, at what point will we regard these attacks as laughable as not only evil they're just laughable Larry elder is the black face of white supremacy? That's written by a Los Angeles Times columnist. The woman shouldn't have been fired. She's an idiot. This is only an idiot could write that. Larry elder is the black face of white supremacy. And it would be like saying, I'm the Jewish face of anti semitism. They've gotten close to say that before that woman, Wyoming or Colorado. University Wyoming, I treasure that. Every time I go to a university, there's the preliminary attack on the sexist tolerance of all the example of all the graces bigoted. Speaker coming through the campus. So there was this article in the Wyoming paper. Again, that is prager big home of the Obama and anti semite. I got such a kick out of that. I guess she didn't read my book on anti semitism. Or dare to look up your Bible commentary on the tour. Yes, exactly. Minor details. Right. So Dennis, so just final question, a lot of people are listening. You talk about a lot on your program, the fireside chat, which I recommend everyone to listen to. It's unscripted, Dennis gets the number of fireside chats right about 10% of the time. Otto and Snoopy are there. It's terrific. And I really enjoy it. And it's really enriched my life. But Dennis, there's a young person listening that all these are good resources. What's your closing message to this generation at this time? Because there's been a great injustice done to them. The lockdowns, it was generational theft. There was no other way to put it. What's your message to a young person who might just be trying to find their way right now? Well, it's really two sides of the same coin. You have a choice in this country or really in any country. Are you going to fight your society or are you going to fight yourself? I was raised at the biggest problem in Dennis prager's life as Dennis prager. It was the greatest message my religious upbringing could give me. And it is informed my whole life, I am my biggest problem. The left tells you you're fine. America is your biggest problem. It's a double lie. You are your biggest problem and America is a terrific place. That's well said. The rational Passover Haggadah by Dennis prager, everyone check it out. I'm honored to be able to have it here. And Dennis, I can't wait. I told you, I'm finishing exodus. And then leviticus is a paper shortage. Is that right? No, deuteronomy was the paper shortage. That's coming out. I didn't do them in order. Leviticus will be the 5th because I will be contemplating shooting myself while doing leviticus. Dennis, I can't wait for leviticus to be that will be a real accomplishment. I have to say. Damn right it will. I know a couple verses that I mean you've got a book could be on the verse. You could have a whole book on just some of the leviticus versus is what I'm saying. Oh yeah, I do actually. I have 20,000 words I've already written on do not align with a man as with a woman. 20,000 words in adverse. As denisova says, how do you know the founding fathers were awesome? They put leviticus 25 on the liberty bell. That's how you knew. That's right. God bless you, Dennis. Thank you so much for joining us. You're a great friend and a teacher. Thank you. Thank you.

But i think as we often like to do and just so that our guests can kind of get Sorry our listeners can get situated with our guests We love to kind of dive a little bit into your background Little a little bit more about yourself so as we like to ask a. What's kind of your origin story. And this adding to that tells you start with your parents coming to this country I you know. I talking to you. Off line You teased a little. That you grew up in wyoming. I'd love to hear about that. 'cause i'm a pacific northwest as well Growing up there were a lot of muslims. I'd love to hear about that experience. So yeah do do tell us. Starting how your parents came to this country. I automate thank you for having me. It's quite an honor to be included with such a lineup. My origin really begins Probably one of the more humble places in america which is real wyoming And off the you hear a lot of muslims living there actually my father. specifically emigrated to the united states in nineteen sixty six and my mother nineteen seventy-two or if i'm correct him to or nineteen seventy four And they On the heels of some earlier members of my family the family who came to wyoming through the auspices of one's arief con Aka louis hot tamale khan who began his sojourn in america by landing in a place. Like new york deciding. He didn't like new york and kept moving west. He hid california. He didn't like california's removed. Moved any landed. All places in a place noticed sheridan wyoming and it was there that he solds tamales and later hamburgers. He gained notoriety but his notoriety wasn't just because he made it mean burger which we sort of think might be related to the joplin kebab of our of our family but also because he was generous soul and he He had an impact on the family. Today my uncle's a statue has been erected in his honor for having such an impact on the community. So that was that was sort of the humble beginnings and i sort of took off from that from that vantage point of of living in wyoming it living in the midst of a very rural community and and being muslim at the same time. That amazing did you have a bit of client like was there con clan In do you say sheridan was clan. Why i guess if you could consider the clan my family that would be it Y father my father was He came when my uncle passed away and he held his sister. My aunt With her business affairs in the raising of her family and he then Started his own work as a grocery bag. Boy and then later he would enter into the hospitality business and since then Members of my family have been coming since many of them had settled in wyoming but also at west and My father Now has more than a dozen hotels in several western states And the reach of my family has extended throughout the western united states with dozens of hotels..

"I did not actually an innings. He he called me and was the first one to tell me that That i was inducted. And he talked about his experience when When he got back to the college football hall of fame. So i knew something was going on. I knew i was nominated. And we will do little piece on that. And and but i had no earthly idea i was gonna make it in. That's i mean you were talking about a skinny tight end from the university of wyoming. Running the wishbone offense. I mean this is supposed to happen. The wishbone of course was a fascinating offense. That led didn't last for very long. But what was the reason for. Its success during the period of time that it was used. I think one of the things was with with a quarterback at the helm deck deck. Run that offense and a few good running backs he. It was pretty deadly They didn't have to worry about the Offense line sustaining blots holding blocks from it the defense is they pretty much have the option of giving it running with it or pitching it. And i loved it. I ran the. I was in college or in high school and actually went to the university of wyoming on a being a quarterback to run that wishbone. If things happened early in my career and i ended up playing wide receiver scout team. And next thing i know of in lineup. The tight end and wide receiver all the time. I've often thought that the wishbone was dedicated. Or predicated really upon the fact that maybe a team could not throw the football. Didn't have the quarterback to throw the football didn't have the receivers to catch it. Am i right about that. There's a lot of truth to that to an extent One of the is you know. There's a lot of teams. Now throw the ball. The time is it because they can't get a running back and probably not. That's just the way that philosophy is so you know. I got a great season. The few seasons there. I mean i. I think the only record i'll hold for a short time is The nc two a. yards per catch as tied in. that was like twenty four yards per. Catch it at wyoming. So i mean we got. We went deep now. It wasn't just throwing the ball. Just throw we had fun with it. You know playing in wyoming. I did a basketball game. One time in casper wyoming first time ever been in wyoming and it was one of those games that the team was there in a in a christmas tournament. And i gotta be honest with you. I mean the town was. I'd never been to wyoming and it was the wintertime and everything and game was just terrible and you know how it is bad games get bad broadcasts usually and it was a blow out of a game and i didn't know what else to say but i said i don't want to say casper wyoming his dead but i said the baggage tag designation for the airline is cpr. Was it like for you. And cheyenne university. Wyoming is in laramie loved it. You know it's a small town. I grew up in a small town. And it's actually a small city compared to what i grew up in and so it's set me. It was my lifestyle outdoors. All the time. And and i just loved it now as i said i was only in one city. That was casper. Let's go back to the cowboys for just a second. I mentioned the fact that they won three super bowls over four years span in the ninety. S when you guys had a going you really had it going. What was the catalyst of that. Success over that period of time j. I would have to say it's a bunch of reasons One of the things. We had a lot of leaders on that team Just sit there and watch our practices and how well we practiced and how hard we practice was a big indication of everyone working hard for the same goal and then obviously we had some great personnel When you have an emmett. Smith back there when you have a michael urban daryl. Johnston troy the offensive line. That was planned exceptionally well. You put all that together along with a great defense. And she's man he supposed to go along way he's still you have to throw in the kicking game but one of the things i think. Mentally was our biggest attribute. We knew we could go in and win games and when you have an attitude like that that goes along with one of the things that i always thought correct me. If you think. I'm wrong about this jay. Is that the the running game was complemented by the passing game. The passing game was complemented by being able to go to the tight end. And all of those things. I don't know that you all would have been as proficient as you were offensively. If you didn't have the people that that produced like yourself in the wide receivers enamored as you said. In an daryl. Johnston and troy aikman and my correct in that observation. You know. I think we got by a few games without some of them key players. But you know you you need that that catalyst you need those guys in there that When when it's all online you the first dan you need to a big play You know we're going to get those guys step up. And they played hard and they wanted the ball and they wanted You wanted everything that you dream about when you're a little kid playing football and you know that's that's how that that team got so good is because when the pressure was on everyone there wanted to be To make the play. And i also think that that's excess lead to a larger swagger even an egotism about the dallas cowboys also. Am i right about that. Yeah we had it obviously is something else. Yeah my goodness some of the stories that a guy could tell what is what was it like during that period of time in the city of dallas in the state of texas actually with that type of success because i broadcast the very first game ever at the stadium there in other words when they opened it up it was a preseason game. I was doing the new england patriots at that particular time. And i'll never forget that stadium because they had a barbecue pit in the media area where they were barbecuing cow. I'm never forget that that awesome one thing. I know that our first super bowl You know this is after all the big oil crash and everything that was going down around here and the economy was down We go to our first super bowl and they literally sold out of big screen. Tv's in the area. You know that that's how that's how big of an impact not only just you know sports general but but how football is and how football in texas is pretty special. Well also i remember one time bringing the show down to a sports bar down in dallas during football season and darryl came out and and joined me and i mean like we had six hundred people that joe showed up for our show. I mean we're a national but once they heard that there was going to be daryl johnston there was going to be you know some cowboy fans i mean i did it become overbearing to some degree to an extent yes But you have to. You have to look at both sides of the table and and you know you're out there to perform you're out there to to bring enjoyment to to people and and you know it's it's you have to accept a lot of the stuff that goes on because because of that you have a lot of per. I'm still doing a lot of personal appearances. And and i wouldn't do that if i was with another team but with the cowboys there's a reason for yeah there's something about the cowboy alumni association and family it. It reminds me a lot of the green bay packers and any kind of dynasty teams that they the players have always stayed close. I think the community.

"We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution on. I think it's very important that we make sure whomever we elect is somebody who will be faithful to the Constitution. Liz Cheney as she is now looking at her immediate future, and as we get back to some calls, let's look at two possibilities of that immediate future. Sean Walsh first her prospects for winning reelection to her house seat from Wyoming in 2022 2nd the possibility that she might run for president in 2024. Well, two things number one running for re election. She should be strong dessert because you noted earlier you ran through all of her votes and our policies and they're very much in tune with her state. But that said her state was very much in tune with Donald Trump. So if you keep poking your finger in the eye, the electric eventually electric rises up and says, You know what? Maybe you're not with us. Good, although, although there's gonna be a pro Cheney vote in an anti Chandi vote, and I think there are already I think five Republicans running The Addy Cheney vote is going to be split, and there's no runoff in Wyoming. Well, that's correct. And look, Dick Cheney is legendary in that state's legendary He had an Ivy League education. He felt bad. He went back to The state University. Wyoming was graduate there. So I think the Chinese are still a political army, an institution in that state, and I don't think that she gets voted out. Um, does she run as a Republican in the presidency, Possibly But that said, You've got to appeal to a certain electorate and as the Nixon axiom says he run to the right and the primary run to the left in a general election. A lot of the activists. Republicans now are still very supportive of Donald Trump. So I think she might run in the trouble in those really primary states with some of her rhetoric unless he moderates it or basically shuts down and It goes other after other policy issues. Megan in Springfield, Missouri. Good evening. Good evening, Mr Bohannon. I thank you for taking my call. I view Liz Cheney and her blue suit today as a traitor to the party to the country.

Hello there. Hey, Good afternoon. Good afternoon to you. So walk us through these changes for oil and gas development on public lands. What exactly was the announcement? So this is one of the boldest promises it Biden made on the campaign trail, and it was one. A lot of folks were kind of anxiously waiting to see if he follows through with it could be seen as kind of a litmus test. Let's say for how serious he is gonna be about addressing the climate crisis on, So what he's doing is he's going to pause new mineral extraction and development on public lands for 60 days. And that's significant because roughly a quarter of all of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions come from fossil fuels extracted from public land. But those fossil fuels also generate a lot of revenue for states and local economies, especially here in the West. So politically, it could be seen as being pretty politically fraught. Okay, so a pause 60 days, but that is obviously more than enough to drop pushback from the oil and gas industry. I'm wondering what about states that have profited from that industry? Yeah, well, they've definitely been some of the most vocal critics of this thus far, you know, Study out of the university, Wyoming that took place about a month ago found that this type of band if it was made permanent, which is what a lot of people in the environmental groups and and some parts of Democratic party want to see. It could cost eight Western states $8 billion in tax revenues. NEW Mexico, Wyoming Being the hardest hit, I talked to a land surveyor named Kevin I'm issue does a lot of work with the oil and gas companies and Wyoming's Powder River Basin yesterday. He said he expects his move to cause a lot of investment and even existing fossil fuel projects to dry up. Your back is going to disappear. Why would you invest in something that you just know? It's not Doesn't have a stronghold to make your money. So our economy is going to suffer tremendously. Now there are two really important caveats here one. There wasn't a lot of new investment already happening in oil and gas because the pandemic has dropped the price of oil so So dramatically onto this won't have any impact on fossil fuel production on private land, which is where the vast majority of oil and gas comes from. In the U. S. Okay. Unimportant caveat there. This'll last four years, Nate, we have heard a lot about the Trump Administration, opening up parts of the country to oil and gas leasing. I'm thinking the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge being the most recent does this order Impact that does it offset those actions, So this is a bit interesting, And the answer is yes and no. So before he announced this larger moratorium, but announced to hold on lease sales in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge on day one But you're hitting on an important point, which is that you know the ways the Trump Administration boosted oil and gas are going to have lasting effects. Here's John Leshy, who worked at the Interior Department under the Clinton and Carter administrations. I mean, the Trump Administration basically conducted a kind of a fire sale on federal oil and gas leases and what they sold was just sort of bought by people. For peanuts, putting stuff in the stockpile, you know in their inventory. So the oil and gas industry have this massive inventory of leases that they're already sitting on, thanks to the Trump Administration, which makes this moratorium less impactful than it would otherwise. Be real quick, Nate. What about moves related to climate change, rejoining the Paris climate agreement stopping the Keystone XL pipeline. What's your read on those? Well, it means that Biden isn't just going to talk to talk. When it comes to climate change. He's gonna walk the walk. We had a sense of that when the Got elected based off of who we nominated two agencies, but we're seeing that this was a day one priority, and it's going to be ah, big priority for his administration going forward. NPR's Nathan Rott. Thank you. Yeah, thank you.
