Runaway Train is just a fantastic film under appreciated to a certain extent I don't mean under appreciated not enough people have seen Runaway Train and if you haven't watch Runaway Train it's not only very poignant and eric's great in it and john voids great in it but the cinematography is amazing on it too there's just the image of that train going through the snow where you can't see the tracks because the tracks are covered by snow and it just appears as if the train is just traveling through a cloud it's it's really amazing stuff

And it's exactly that what you're talking about and and by the way it has some relevance to this movie I did Reagan.

Expectations is the name of the movie won't be out till next year, but you should mark your calendar and it's basically that Charles Dickens, I mean it's a Contemporary companion piece to the Charles Dickens Great Expectations and there's some interesting people in it

He likes to write about his orphans

It's interesting when when Charles Dickens created all these characters like 160 years ago he left us with a lot of different stuff that you know with all the advancements of Medicine and technology airplanes.

there's a lot of these issues about Identity that are just as relevant like being a late person, right?

I think Charles Dickens did really well and you'll get to see it in the film of them The film was a comedic lens to sort of examine all these things.

The book Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America is out as we speak and what inspired you to write the book Ted?

Well look at the situation we're in in this country is is is messed up. I mean I've never seen a time when it is as extreme and off the rails as where we are right now.

So what the book does is it explains how the radical left seized every major institution in America.

So every chapter of the book addresses a different institution. It starts with universities, then it goes to K-12 education, then journalism, then governments, then big business, then big tech, then entertainment, a world you know well, then science, and the last chapter of the book is on China.

And it explains how China is a central nexus that is intertwined with all of them. And and what the book seeks to do is number one explain how and why the radical left seized control of these institutions, but number two to lay out a positive productive battle plan for how we take the institutions back.
