Chapter 1: What is the primal scream of a dying regime?
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Chapter 2: How does Larry Schweikert explain his new book's concept?
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.
Saturday, 27 December, Year of the Lord 2025. Larry Schweikert's my guest. Larry, you have a new book. Anytime that you come out with a new book, it's an event. You've got a new book that's coming out here in a month or two. And you're the author of the famous Patriots History of the United States. You had a couple of additional editions of that. You wrote a book.
for War Room on the Patriots' History of Globalization. You've got so many irons in the fire and you understand Trump politics and MAGA as well as anybody. Talk to me about not just the new book, but the concept of it. How did you come to this concept? And people are always fascinated about writers. How long did it take you to do the research? When do you stop researching and start writing?
We found after the last edition of Patriots History of the United States came out in 2018 that Sentinel was not interested in doing a 20th anniversary edition or updating it in any way, and I felt an obligation to our readers to keep the book current. It is in its 45th printing, and just last week I think we sold 1,700 copies, and it just continues to be a a best-selling book all the time.
But since then, I've been researching stuff in case I ever had another edition. And then last year, I decided, well, I'm going to write two more chapters that will bring everything up to 2025 and make them free available to anyone who emails me. So if you're out there and you want the new chapter 23 and the new chapter 24 that go from 2018 to 2025,
email me at larry at wildworldhistory.com and I'll send you the free copies. I think after, they'll be in PDFs, not the whole book. I'll send you two, three PDFs with the new stuff in it. And I think after we did our show on Thanksgiving, I probably sent out four or 500 of those requests.
So I had all this material that I'd been researching and I realized there's a lot of depth that needs to be developed here And the 21st century in particular, I love historical irony, and the 21st century in particular just seems to be rife with historical irony.
For example, we start off with a virus, the Y2K bug that turned out not to be anything because the business people took it seriously, and we pretty much end the first quarter century in 21st 2020 to 2021, with another bug, the China virus. Obama was supposed to be the transformative figure of the 21st century. He's not transformative at all.

Chapter 3: What historical insights does Larry Schweikert provide about American exceptionalism?
Trump is the one that has transformed the first quarter of the 21st century. So the book is full of historical irony, and I would say I researched it off and on, for, I don't know, five or six years, just filing stuff away as it came to me. You know, this would be a neat story to tell, or this is an important thing people need to understand. And talk to me about the 21st century.
As a historian, it's always tougher to, I guess, because journalism's called, I think it was Time Magazine that said they were the first draft of history. It's always harder to write it when you're in the moment than able to go back. Like, for instance, when you did Patriot's History, Ewan, is it Mike Allen? You guys had taught history... for decades.
In fact, one of the reasons you wrote the book is that you couldn't find, as you told me, you couldn't find a history text that you thought was unbiased enough to actually explain the American experience to your students, that they were so biased, had become so left-wing, that you and your co-author finally said, hey, I guess we're going to have to do this ourselves, right? Exactly.
Let me give you one of the quickest and easiest observations you can make on how biased these existing textbooks were
If you come to the post-Civil War period, there is always a section in these textbooks on the building of the transcontinental railroads, Union Pacific, Central Pacific, later the Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific, and almost without exception, I documented this in another book, my 48 Liberal Lives, but almost without exception, the established historians would come to a sentence where they would say almost this exact line,
the transcontinental railroads never would have been built without government aid, which is simply a lie, because James J. Hill built the Great Northern Railroad without a dime of government assistance, and it was a stronger, more powerful, profitable railroad than any of those built with government assistance.
But that's just an example of where you can look to these existing textbooks, and they don't just massage the truth. Often they just kind of destroy the truth. But you're absolutely right that teaching and writing modern history is incredibly difficult. Our challenge in writing the early parts of American history, Mike Allen and I, our challenge was to find enough sources or the right sources.
The challenge for writing history in the last 10 years is you're deluged You just have so many sources. You look here, there. The information is out there in galaxy-level amounts. So that becomes the most difficult problem, and you have to apply the law of significance. How many people does this affect over how much time? That's what makes it significant. Walk me back.
Let's go back to the ā because the Patriots' history ā when I was in Danbury, I was teaching civics. And, you know, they have a library there. It's actually a pretty good library. Most of the books are, in fact, all the books are by prisoners or prisoners' families. But they've got, it's a pretty, you know, I'm a voracious reader, and it's a really great library.

Chapter 4: How does the Mayflower Compact influence American governance?
One of the first things I did is go to the library, and they didn't have a copy of the Patriot's History, so I think I ordered three. I kept one for myself, and I put two into the library right away, of which people just devoured. But I needed the book because you give such good overviews.
So as I was getting into details about the Constitution, the Declaration, and the structure of the government, and
uh issue these things that most of the prisoners had never really been taught or never had access to because they were quick learners and i will tell you larry they were absolutely fascinated by it i could tell right then that the education system in this country has failed so much because most of the prisoners and most of the prisoners that took my course were african-american or hispanic and uh they had they had a real thirst they had a thirst they want to understand the system um
As you and Alan ā and I started thinking about the book a lot because I've read Patriot's History a couple of times when it first came out and then another time before I got into the Trump campaign. It just happened getting caught up to speed. I think it was in the summer of 15, 16, 15, I think, and when I was in prison.
What was it that you and Mike Allen ā as you sat there, I think you were at the University of Dayton at the time, correct? Yes. Yes. And was Mike at Dayton also? He was a professor. Where was he? Where did he teach? Mike was at the University of Washington, Tacoma.
We met around 1990 at a Western historical convention, then didn't meet again in person until after the book had been out for almost a year. We wrote the whole book by phone and by email at that time. So that in itself made it kind of...
kind of interesting and by the way the book is correct me if i'm wrong if it's not the best-selling history book we've ever had it's one of the top two or three best-selling histories that have ever sold in the united states

Chapter 5: What are the challenges of teaching modern history?
Well, of course, Zen's book, People's History, is probably the bestseller of trade books only because so many college classes picked up Zen's book. However, I did learn that our book, Zen said this, that our book outsold his in his first 10 years versus our first 10 years, which is kind of interesting. Now, once he got picked up by all of the college faculty, he began to take a lead over us.
But Patriots History of the United States does very, very well for a 1,000-page comprehensive textbook. As you and Alan looked at the way American history was taught at the college level, what are the two or three things in your book that that are different than most things.
In other words, as you guys went back and said, look, we got to go do it ourselves and got to do all the research and write it because these couple of things are fundamentally wrong and lead students, particularly in those formative years, down the wrong path. What were they? Okay, I'll give you three big ones. First one, as we say in our introduction,
We don't believe in my country right or wrong, but we do believe that my country is not always wrong. As almost all these other textbooks did, they dwelled on America's faults and minimized all of America's successes. Number two, we introduced the four pillars of American exceptionalism.
So when you go to teach government or civics, for example, the first two are really relevant, and that is this nation was built on a Christian, mostly Protestant religious tradition that emphasized individual church congregations or congregationalism.
And the reason that's important is it gave America a bottom-up religious structure that emphasized and worked hand in glove with the second pillar, which is common law, which came over from England, which is a bottom-up political structure. So we had a great deal of practice there. in resisting government.
I mean, everything from guys burning down the governor's mansions and whatnot to calling out their own militias. You would never have seen that in Australia or Canada. And then the third real thing that we do in the book is that we look at everything. We look at America's faults and failures, but we also look at all of America's successes.
And there's a great deal of political, military, and economic history in Patriot's history, because my degree was in banking and financial history. So I think you'll get a lot of economic analysis that is not in other books, particularly good economic analysis, I'd like to think. No, I want to make sure I emphasize that. When you read, it is a comprehensive history.
It reads as a narrative story, and you've got all the personalities and personages. But most time you read a history book, you can tell the professor is a political scientist or he's a professor of political history. So you get the politics with it.

Chapter 6: How does immigration impact the understanding of American history?
so deeply. But as I can tell you, and I think Trump's the perfect example of that, unless you understand the economics and the underlying economic milieu and the forces, particularly the forces driving the economics and where it's taking you, it's very hard to understand
the real meaning of politics, besides just counting up who, what party was running and what were their issues and what was the outcomes. That's one of the reasons I, I, I love it. Uh, we got about a minute here and of course you're going to be with us the rest of the time, but in thinking through the book on the 21st century, how did you use, what framework did you use for this?
Well, as I said, I thought that there was a great deal of irony in so many of the accepted memes that we were seeing at the time, the accepted themes that, um, that Obama was the transformative president of the early 21st century. Bush committed us to a war. I'm convinced that if he had gone into Iraq, looked for WMDs after six or eight months, going, nope, not there, and just left,
that in fact he probably would have ended up a much more popular president than he was. And then, of course, you have this final third of the period, kind of the last eight years, where you had this struggle between the Trump populist forces and the forces of the elite, something that I think historian Richard Hofstadter would have loved, except he would have looked at it the wrong way.
The elites now are all entirely on the side of, not entirely, but mostly on the side of the Democrat Party. And the other groups, as we saw in the last election, are starting to move over onto the side of the MAGA movement and the populist movement. Larry, hang on for a second.

Okay, welcome back. Trevor Comstock joins us. Trevor, you're a stable on the Saturday show. It's the last Saturday show of the year. Take a second, explain the company. I mean, I know when people go online and they get some of your products, I get nothing but positive feedback. It's extraordinary. And really, I want to give you a hat tip that, you know, people love interacting with you.
They love the way, the passion you have. Because Trevor's kind of everything. I mean, he's got a very small team, but they conceive the products. They test the products. They work at the manufacturing schedule, the marketing, everything, the branding of it, et cetera. So you and your team work. are kind of a one-man show. It's a very small team.
So talk to us about some of your favorite products and what should people be looking for in the new year?
Yeah, thanks for having me, Steve. So on that point, for anyone that doesn't know much about us, the real reason why we created Sacred Human was just to offer health products that are clean, natural and made with integrity. So we launched about two years ago.
And again, our goal is really just to provide people high quality and affordable products while kind of breaking away from the big corporate model that usually prioritizes profit over health, which is what we usually see. And I've said it before, but a lot of these larger companies within the industry tend to cut corners where they market their products as healthy.
And then, of course, when you look at the labels, there's a ton of unnatural ingredients, chemicals, preservatives, a lot of fillers that really don't do your health any favors and, if anything, could be detrimental to your health.

Chapter 8: How does Larry Schweikert view the future of American history and politics?
which is still our number one product, even though we rolled out quite a few other products and have some new ones on the way as well. But I still know that many people aren't familiar with the benefits of beef liver, and they don't know just how powerful it is when it comes to nutrition. But it's oftentimes called nature's multivitamin for a pretty good reason.
And that's mainly because it's packed with highly bioavailable nutrients, things like vitamin A, CoQ10, iron, zinc, folate, the list is pretty extensive. But these all do things like help promote healthy skin, hair, heart, immune system, as well as brain function. So that in itself is a pretty remarkable product.
And honestly, I've yet to find another product on the market that delivers that much bang for your buck. But also to take it a step further, it contains other critical vitamins and minerals that a lot of people are deficient in. So things like choline, selenium, K2, as well as copper.
And then, of course, I think the biggest thing that people love most about the beef liver is just the natural energy boost that you get after taking it. Even after all this time, after two years, we still get flooded with reviews and emails on a daily basis of people just letting us know how much their energy levels have improved and how much better they feel.
So, of course, that's always the biggest bonus to taking the beef liver and why people love it so much. What makes the product really stand out too is that because it is a whole food supplement, your body is actually able to retain and absorb all these nutrients as opposed to just flushing them out.
If you're taking like a synthetic multivitamin or any synthetic vitamin for that matter, which unfortunately again is usually the case if you're just buying vitamins and multivitamins from like Amazon or Costco even or any store shelf is typically what we see.
Again, like I mentioned, you're getting a much better bang for your buck when you take the beef liver because your body can actually retain these nutrients and utilize them, which is what also leads to the energy boost. I can't recommend that product enough. We have quite a few other products like our collagen,
our immunity, which is great for the winter months, as well as our magnesium and vitamin D, which is essential for nervous system regulation. And then our tallow moisturizer, which has also been extremely popular. But yeah, I won't go on for too much longer. I just wanted to give you a little background on us and our main product as well.
How do people... One, I want them to go to the site, look at the reviews, look at the product descriptions, but then how do people... contact you because I know I get great feedback that people email you and get in contact with you and you explain things to them and make sure they understand it because you want an educated customer as your best customer. So where do people go?
