00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,920

Speaker 1: to be Christine Nicholas, Bethany Mandel, doctor Genia Louden, and

00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: others as we go along, and Bishop Hugh Nelson's gonna

00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: be back with us in just a minute to talk

48
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: about how we live. That is all straight ahead. And

49
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: it's been a very, very fascinating week with Bishop Nelson

50
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: as we have dug deeper than I've ever dug before

51
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: on the story of the Prodigal Sun and seeing myself

52
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: in some of the characters of that story in ways

53
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: I'd never thought of before and yet so so deeply moving.

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: And I just hope that you'll join us for the

55
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: conclusion to that discussion, because it's it's been a great

56
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: week with Bishop Nelson. Lots going on in the news. Obviously,

57
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: the war hasn't gone anywhere. We are still watching. Although

58
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: I will say this, I am very pleased with how

59
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: confident the President is about what we're doing when it

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: comes to our objectives. In fact, he is. He has

61
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: said that we are, you know, such so much farther

62
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: ahead than where we anticipated being by this time, and

63
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: that's all good. My hope and request in ernest pleading

64
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: is that we don't lose we don't lose pace, that

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: we stay ahead of the game, that we have as

66
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: little loss of innocent life as possible. If we need

67
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: to kill all the Iatolas, I'm okay with that. Those

68
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: people are not very interested in having peace with anyone,

69
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: So maybe they should just go see Jesus who will

70
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: bring them the reckoning on peace as they need to be.

71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: But if you're going to kill loads and loads of

72
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: innocent people, I don't know that you should have a

73
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: right to continue to live yourself. And that's what the

74
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: I Tolas have done for the last number of years.

75
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: And I think it's interesting, friends, that you've seen kind

76
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: of the people speak through the representatives this week, because

77
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: last weekend, when the war started, you had House members

78
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: and Senate members both talking big, big talk about kind

79
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: of disciplining the president and making sure that he knows

80
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: that he can't declare war without congressional approval, or so

81
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: they say, And they talked about how they were going

82
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: to bring it to both bodies in the Congress this

83
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: week and press for votes. You know, the effort to

84
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: curb this failed spectacularly in both houses. It wasn't even close.

85
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, I think that's

86
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: partly because the voters, the people of the nation have

87
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: told their representatives, I want you to do the right thing.

88
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: That's why we've given you the job. The right thing

89
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: is to do as as is needed, to do as

90
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: is conscience driven, and to do the right thing is

91
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: to protect innis and people. The actions that we are

92
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: taking as being so significantly different than the ones that

93
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: we took in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Global War

94
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: on Terror as it's now referred to often GWAT, but

95
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: the GWAT era service people that know where some of

96
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: those things went bad after we got the terrorists on

97
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: the run, are saying that we're doing it so much differently.

98
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: And it's my hope. It's not just it's not just

99
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: a pie in the sky, you know, wish. It's my genuine, earnest,

100
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: heartfelt hope that the people of Iran are able to

101
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: grasp the significance of what they've been given here in

102
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: Iraq and Afghanistan. Let me hit on this for a second.

103
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: Those were different cultures. Those were cultures largely that never

104
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: were truly liberalized or modernized in the modern era. They

105
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: didn't really embrace an idea of republic government or democracy

106
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: in any way prior to the liberations of the Global

107
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: War on Tear and in Afghanistan, because it's all tribal

108
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: and feudal and kind of internal. This gang against that

109
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: gang and so forth. They never really had a founding

110
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: vision for anything. But Iran is not Iraq, and Iran

111
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: is not Afghanistan. And before forty seven years ago they

112
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: had the highest level of college educated women of any

113
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: country in the world. Think about that. Think about the

114
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: level of education that women enjoyed under a free and

115
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: democratized Iran prior to the Iyatolas taking over in the

116
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies, and understand that when women did have the

117
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: right to learn, they took advantage of it. And when

118
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: they had the right to contribute to their culture, they did.

119
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: You had female doctors and lawyers and all kinds of things.

120
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: In the modern day era of Iran, women have been

121
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: disallowed from even going to basic education for many, many years.

122
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: So this is a this is a This is a

123
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: group of people that have a memory of what democracy

124
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: look like, of what free governance of themselves look like.

125
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: And I don't know why, to be honest with you,

126
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: the Carter administration insisted on bringing the Iotola back to

127
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: the Iranian territory. We gave him a plane ride, we

128
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: put him back in country, and then when the revolution happened,

129
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: they took those college students took our embassy workers hostage

130
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: for four hundred and forty four days a year and

131
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: a half. Beyond that, there was you know, all of

132
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: the then the pursuit and the aggressive, aggressive hostility of

133
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: weapons and opposing free cultures in the Middle East and beyond.

134
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: So I think that what we're going to see, and

135
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: my prayer is this, that the memory of what self

136
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: governance and self determination looks like in their minds will

137
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: be something that they aspire to again. Because if the

138
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: Iranian people do not embrace that, then they will not

139
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: have a culture that will elevate the least of those

140
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: among them. They will not have a culture that elevates women.

141
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: And if God forbid, another powermonger, another ayatola, another supreme

142
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: leader rises up, then you have people being thrown off buildings,

143
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: you have women being shot in the street for wearing

144
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: blue jeans. You have all the atrocities and horrors that

145
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: we have watched, we have witnessed on global tees television

146
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: sets for the last forty years, all over again. Friends.

147
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: It's my prayer that that is not what we are

148
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: empowering that the Iranian people, and I'm praying, I'm actively

149
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: praying for this Lord, please let the Iranian people, and

150
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: if possible, the Iranian Christians, because there is a there

151
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: is a subculture of Christianity that is very very much

152
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: on the down low, but they are there. Lord, Raise

153
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: your people up. Let these people as best they can

154
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: come to know and understand you, so that they have

155
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: real truth in their lives and that they are able

156
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: to lead the lives that you that you that you

157
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: have for them your best intentions. All right, that's that's

158
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: We got a lot to get to how do we Live?

159
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: Bishop Nelson's back with us, and then we kick off

160
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: a great Friday show. Lots of news, lots of things

161
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: to talk about. Hope that you'll be here for all

162
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: of it. It's that Cabin show.

163
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 6: Here he is from New York. That Kevin McCullough.

164
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: All right, welcome. It is that Kevin Show, that kevinshow

165
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: dot com. And if you want anything related to the show,

166
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: it's all there that kevinshow dot com. You can even

167
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: listen to past discussions of what we've talked about in

168
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: this segment all week long called how do we Live,

169
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: specifically focusing in on the Prodigal Son and Luke fifteen

170
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: and Bishop Hugh Nelson is back with us from the

171
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: Ebenezer Urban Ministry Center in Brooklyn, and Bishop I say

172
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: that we have taken a deep dive on the Prodigal

173
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: Sun this week. It is not an underestimated statement. I've

174
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: never spent the amount of time thinking about the multiple

175
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: layers of the personalities of the persons in this story

176
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: the way you have forced us to think about them.

177
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: And I said this earlier in the week. I see

178
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: myself in the brash and arrogant son that demanded his inheritance.

179
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: I see myself in the father who felt injured by

180
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: that arrogance. I see myself in the son who comes

181
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: to his own demise and says, hey, it's better for

182
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: me to, you know, at least eat some of the

183
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: pig slop in my father's service than it is where

184
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: I'm at here. I see him going home and understanding

185
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: that humility and that kind of devastation. And the father,

186
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: of course, who can't identify with a father who wants

187
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: to do nothing more than rescue his son from all

188
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: the disastrous damage that he may have done to his life.

189
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, I think it's

190
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: really important that people understand that this is This is

191
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: a this is a microcosm right of how God looks

192
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: at us. He loves us, he longs for us to

193
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: come home, he longs for us to call out to him.

194
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: And then we come to this other character that's in it,

195
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: the old older son, the third character. I think it's

196
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: unexpected for a lot of people that the brother responds

197
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: the way he does. But he is certainly not impressed

198
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: with his brother's repentance. And some people will say, well,

199
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: that's natural. I've seen, you know, people be unrepentant when

200
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: they faked repentance before. But it goes a step further

201
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: than that, does it, not, Bishop. I mean to the

202
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: degree that the father is lavishing love and forgiveness and reconciliation,

203
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: and the older brother, who rightfully or wrongfully, has served

204
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: dutifully his father the whole time he's been gone, and

205
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: he looks at his younger brother and he goes, well,

206
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: who do you think you are to get that? I mean,

207
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: there's just no feeling from him.

208
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 8: I had absolutely no compassion, no thought of celebration, And

209
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 8: I thought, my god, this older brother was unhappy. He

210
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 8: was the only one did not rejoice about his brother's return.

211
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 4: And not.

212
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 8: The interesting thing, and this was for me was the

213
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 8: cliff hanger, because when Jesus talked about the lost sheep,

214
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 8: there was a closure. The shepherd found the lost sheep,

215
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 8: brought the sheep back to the fold. When he talked

216
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 8: about the lost con the woman didn't give up the

217
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 8: search until she found the coin, and there's a sense

218
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 8: of closure.

219
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: In this case, there was no closure.

220
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 8: No.

221
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 4: This was the part that really.

222
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 8: Struck me because the parable never indicated whether the son

223
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 8: came in or stayed out. It never shared whether the

224
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 8: eldest son, even with the pleading of the father who

225
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 8: came out to the field met him and ensreated him,

226
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 8: come home.

227
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 4: Your brother who was lost is now home.

228
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 8: We're literally left with the young men and not certain

229
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 8: whether he stayed out or whether he came in. I thought, God,

230
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 8: this is quite interesting, because now this gives us an

231
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 8: opportunity to write our own conclusion. How would we want

232
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 8: to bring clothesuhip to this parable, whether the eldest son eventually,

233
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 8: maybe reluctantly came in and reluctantly embraced his younger brother,

234
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 8: or whether.

235
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: He stayed away.

236
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 8: And I thought, my god, we there is so much

237
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 8: we could learn from this older son, because it is

238
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 8: possible for us to stay home and dutifully carry out

239
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 8: our responsibility and still not have the heart of the father.

240
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 8: And there's so many believers who have never left, have

241
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 8: never acted shamefully, but still lack the heart of the father.

242
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 8: Another takeaway from me is that sometimes, even as believers,

243
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 8: when one wanders away and returns and there is so

244
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 8: much celebration, we resent the fact that we're not in

245
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 8: the limelight. No one is making a big deal about

246
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 8: the elder son who was always there. All of a sudden,

247
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 8: now the focus is on the son who had left

248
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 8: and returned, And this is oftentimes where our true spirituality

249
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 8: is tested. How do we respond when the spotlight is

250
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 8: not on the one who stayed home dutifully carried out

251
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 8: his task, but the one who wasted it but came back.

252
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 8: And so sometimes as believers we can stay right in

253
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 8: the house and still lack the height of the father.

254
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 8: Interestingly enough, this elder son who stayed home carried out

255
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 8: his responsibility, but still did not have intimacy with his father,

256
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 8: you know, And this maybe there was a part that

257
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 8: really struck me hard even as a pastor. It is

258
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 8: possible to do the work of God and still lack

259
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 8: intimacy with God. We work for God but miss out

260
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 8: on the fact that beyond what we do for him,

261
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 8: he hungers to have intimacy with his children well.

262
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, Bishop, is that

263
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: not one of the greatest blessings of relationship with Jesus

264
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: That we can turn to a father who does love

265
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: us perfectly, so much more completely than any of our

266
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: earthly fathers can. And if we are just willing to

267
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: put our pride to the side, if we're just willing

268
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: to put our expectations of perfection and others off to

269
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: the side, and allow him to love us but also

270
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: to change things in us that need to be changed.

271
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 4: Oh, my God, it's.

272
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: Not so much that the older brother disliked his younger brother.

273
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: It's that he felt he was so much better than

274
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: his younger brother.

275
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 4: That's right.

276
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 8: And you know I thought of even Mary and Martha

277
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 8: when Jesus came to visit them. Yes, what was so

278
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 8: caught up with enjoying intimatesy with Christ while the other

279
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 8: one was making sure the house was in good order.

280
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 8: And you know, again, the contrast, that's the thing I

281
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 8: love about God. He paints a picture, makes this contrast

282
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 8: and leaves us to see where we are.

283
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: So, as from a practical standpoint, what are some ways

284
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: that we can help guard our hearts from becoming like

285
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: the older brother and maybe pursue that intimacy with the

286
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: Father on a deeper level.

287
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 8: And so I think in a practical level, it is

288
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 8: so important that we nurture intimates with God on a

289
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 8: daily basis. When we recognize the love we experience from

290
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 8: a God who loves us completely, we then can have

291
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 8: patience even with those who fail. You know, when we

292
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 8: come from a posture of love and that we are

293
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 8: loved and that someone's recovery is not at our expense,

294
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 8: then we realize God's heart is large enough to love

295
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 8: all of us equality and none of us suffer because

296
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 8: He's right now focusing on the backslider.

297
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that just from a practical standpoint,

298
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: the more we look at others to judge them bad

299
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: as backsliders, the more we miss the point. Like a grief,

300
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: my focus this morning, today, tonight, as I walk through

301
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: this weekend, as I go into next week, my focus

302
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: should be Lord, what are you wanting to change in

303
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: my heart. What is it about where I'm at that

304
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: could be better with you than before? And you know

305
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: again that's where the older son missed it. He felt

306
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: like he was entitled to it, he was owed for

307
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: his good behavior. And in reality, the father just wants

308
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: to have a deep relationship with both of his boys.

309
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 8: A deeper relationship. He wants them to enjoy his presence.

310
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

311
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 8: And you know, I especially those of us in the

312
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 8: professional clergy space who work, as you know, in the faith,

313
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 8: we can't really get so tied up with the task

314

Speaker 1: It's Kevin McCullough from that Kevin Show. And as we

339
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: have been telling you for some time, we are in

340
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: the process of doing something very special. And when I

341
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: say special, i'm you know, I think of I just

342
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: I just love the fact that we get to focus

343
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: on helping children in this in this day and age,

344
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: particularly in this way, particularly these children. You've heard me

345
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: talking already h for some time for some of you,

346
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: but for others of you that have just started in

347
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: recent days hearing me. You've heard me talk about the

348
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: work of Food for the poor and the children that

349
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: they reach and the lives that they touch. Well, I'm

350
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: excited that once again we have the opportunity to actually

351
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: feed a number of kids for the coming year and

352
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: to make sure that they have clean drinking water in

353
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: the days to come. It's a very big lift to

354
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: try to help seven hundred and twenty children, But that's

355
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: the list, that's the names, that's who we have this year.

356
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: So I'm going to ask you step into this with us,

357
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: go on this journey, help us reach every one of

358
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: these children. In just the next few days. Danny Patino

359
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: is back with us from Food for the Poor and

360
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: I always love checking in with he and Paul Jacobs

361
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: and all the gang down at the Florida HQ, which

362
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: he joins us from via satellite today. Danny, it's great

363
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: to see you and always fun to talk about what

364
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: God is doing. But when we're talking about these children

365
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: in particular, and I've been on some of the trips

366
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: where Food for the Poor would take us into the

367
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: less glamorous portions of the Caribbean, let's put it that way.

368
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: The countries and the portions of countries that the tourists

369
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: don't go to. None of the brochures advertise, but what

370
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: you're talking about is gross poverty, real true malnutrition, children

371
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: that are just aching and hurting on a daily basis

372
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: to have a little bit of something to eat. So

373
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: talk to us about what kinds of conditions these kids

374
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: are living in, whether it's s Guatemala or Haiti or wherever,

375
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: and take us inside their life for a little bit.

376
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 10: Well, Kevin, thanks for having us on today, and thank

377
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 10: you to your audience for letting us in not only

378
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 10: into their homes, but also into their heart. And unfortunately,

379
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 10: in the fifteen countries that Food for the Poorest serves,

380
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 10: poverty really doesn't have a different face. It's almost the

381
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 10: same one, and it is a kid's face, a child's

382
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 10: face where unfortunately he doesn't know where the next meal

383
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 10: is coming from. And those are the folks that we

384
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 10: reach the most. Those are the folks that pray for

385
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 10: a daily meal. We pray for I pray with my

386
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 10: children every morning that they have a great day at school,

387
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 10: that they get to learn everything and then bring it

388
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 10: back home so they can teach us. These families are

389
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 10: praying for a daily meal. That's that prayer for that

390
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 10: daily bread, and it's to get something a little bit

391
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 10: different than they had yesterday, because probably yesterday they only

392
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 10: had a handful of rice to share amongst four. And

393
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 10: most of the families that we visited are a little

394
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 10: bit more than four people living in a small shack.

395
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 10: Think about a shed, a very shed that's holes in

396
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 10: the roof. The dirt that's outside is the same dirt

397
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 10: that you find inside of the home. Bugs come in

398
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 10: and out.

399
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 4: It's not a.

400
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 10: Living condition that you would have for anyone, let alone

401
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 10: a child. And those are the families that we reach

402
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 10: on a daily basis here at Food for the Port

403
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 10: and through you to the generosity of your listeners, and that's

404
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 10: what we want to reach to today. You said there

405
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 10: was a number of seven hundred and twenty children, Well,

406
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 10: imagine the faces on those seven hundred and twenty children

407
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 10: when we get to tell them you get to eat today, tomorrow,

408
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 10: the next day. And it's only for a one time gift.

409
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 10: A one time gift of one hundred and fifty dollars

410
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 10: is going to feed two children for an entire year.

411
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 10: It's three hundred and sixty five days of relief for

412
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 10: a parent. I'm a parent myself, so a relief on

413
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 10: a parent shoulders, and as well, a child that gets

414
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 10: to grow be a child not having to go to

415
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 10: work with mom or dad or having to stay home

416
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 10: from school because there's not enough money to go around.

417
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: Well, I want to point out too that a lot

418
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: of relief organizations only feed kids once a day, and

419
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: food for the poor in that one hundred and fifty dollars,

420
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: which is seventy five dollars a child, that child will

421
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: eat twice a day, and it will be a healthy

422
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: meal that's good for undernourished kids. It's going to be

423
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: hind carbohydrates, it's going to be high in protein, usually

424
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: some form of rice and beans combined. I've been at

425
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: these centers where we have prepared these meals and dished

426
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: them out as the kids came through, and I will

427
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: tell you that the impact that that makes just giving

428
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: that child two meals a day for the next year

429
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: is the difference in them being on death's doorstep now

430
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: and a year from now being almost as healthy as

431
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: like any other kid on the planet. Like it really

432
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: the difference between what it can do for them nutritionally speaking.

433
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: And so friends, as you're listening, you may I would

434
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: want to know for myself. If I'm going to give

435
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: seventy five dollars, how many meals does that provide? Well,

436
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: think about that, three hundred and sixty five days, two

437
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: meals a day. You're talking about just under eight hundred

438
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: meals for a child that's for the next year. Is

439
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: not going to go hungry. Yeah, eight five, five, nine, zero, seven,

440
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: four six seven three. Friends, it's food for the poor.

441
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: I've worked with them for a couple of dozen years.

442
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: I love these people, I love their hearts, I love

443
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: everything that they do, and we right now can impact

444
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: seven hundred and twenty lives. Just like that little seven

445
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: year old who had to give up his food for

446
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 1: the day so his younger brother could eat because it

447
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: was his turn. We can impact that family where two

448
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: brothers get to eat two meals a day and for

449
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: seventy five dollars. I would just recommend friends that you

450
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: check your grocery bill because I'm pretty sure that, however

451
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: many kids you have in your house, if you only

452
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: had seventy five dollars for the year to feed them,

453
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you couldn't do it. If you're not

454
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: serving invisible food or something like that, Like there's no

455
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: cheating here. This is gonna be real food. But like

456
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: I've got three kids in my house. I couldn't. I

457
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: couldn't for four hundred and fifty dollars or less than

458
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: that two hundred and twenty five dollars or whatever.

459
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 4: I couldn't.

460
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: I couldn't feed children for that amount of money. And

461
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: yet Food for the Poor can give two meals a day,

462
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days for the next year

463
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: for a child with that gift, And if you give

464
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: it now in the next ten minutes, it will be doubled.

465
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: You will reach twice as many kids. The impact will

466
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: be twice as much because you choose to give it now.

467
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,679

Speaker 1: in the evening here on local New York radio called

Speaker 1: fun Friday for Radio Night Live. But Christine Nicholas is

482

483

Speaker 1: most esteemed PR firms on the planet, much less just

484
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: in our city, and Christine, always a pleasure to have

485
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: you with us. It is getting to be that time,

486
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: as the year has started to unfold, that people are

487
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: really starting to think about America two fifty in much more,

488
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, active ways than they have been. We've kind

489
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: of known that America two fifty was coming, but it's

490
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: really starting to unfold right in front of.

491
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 12: Us now, it really is, And especially here in New York, Kevin,

492
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 12: I think a lot of folks don't really understand the

493
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 12: historic value of New York City, the role that it

494
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 12: played in the Revolutionary War and the build up to it.

495
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 12: You know, it started and ended here right This is

496
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 12: where the first battle was fought, and this is where

497
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 12: George Washington came when he was departing, you know, his

498
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 12: saying farewell to his troops, which happened in seventeen eighty three,

499
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 12: so it gives you a sense that this was a

500
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 12: much longer battle than people think, you know. And we've

501
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 12: got a lot planned here in New York City for

502
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 12: the celebration. We're going to have tall ships we're going

503
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 12: to it's called Sail Force, and there'll be thirty of

504
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 12: them and they're coming from all over the world, which

505
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 12: is incredibly exciting. And in addition to the thirty tall ships,

506
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 12: there's also going to be a naval review large than

507
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 12: anything it's we've ever had with the US Navy and

508
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 12: the Coastguard will be present. We believe possibly the President

509
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 12: will be coming in for an official Navy review. But

510
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 12: it's going to span from Lower Manhattan Staten Island area,

511
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 12: up the Harbor, up the East River and also the

512
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 12: Hudson River through the George Washington Bridge, and there are

513
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 12: smaller schooners that can go up as far as Westchester

514
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 12: to sort of tell the story about the different battles

515
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 12: that took place during the Revolutionary War. There'll be the

516
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 12: Blue Angels. They're going to be doing a tribute as well,

517
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 12: so that you know the chefs are going to start

518
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 12: coming in as early as July first, so if you

519
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 12: have plans for the fourth, just know that you can

520
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 12: actually participate and see what's going on all the way

521
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 12: through July eighth. And then there's also some schooners that

522
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 12: will be open to the public for free, and then

523
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 12: there are also some that will be for a fee.

524
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 12: You can go on and have, you know, a tour

525
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 12: and they actually are operating. So you can find much

526
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 12: of this on the Sale fourth website. You can find

527
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 12: it on NYC Tourism dot com. But that's so exciting and.

528
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: Sale forth is that s A I l the number

529
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: four th h yes.

530
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 6: Yes, exactly.

531
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 12: And then at night we have the Macy's fireworks, and

532
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 12: this is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Macy's fireworks.

533
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 12: And it's no, that's not by accident, because that got

534
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 12: started for the two hundredth for the bi centennial. So

535
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 12: and I'm sure most people around the nation they tune

536
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 12: in to the Macy's fireworks on July fourth evening, So

537
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 12: this is really special for New York. We hope people

538
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 12: will come. We are ready to shine and we have

539
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 12: our patriotism out loud and clear for all to enjoy.

540
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 4: Well.

541
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: And that's and that's kind of a usual for New

542
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: York City these days, since we since we elected a

543
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: communist mayor. But I thought all this patriotism is going

544
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: to rub off on some people.

545
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 12: Well I think it did. I mean, look back, it's

546
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 12: in nineteen seventy six. One of the reasons why people

547
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 12: remember it so well and why it was so important

548
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 12: is because that is also at a time when our

549
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 12: nation was in a difficult position, right the hog you know,

550
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 12: it was well, right and before I lost it is

551
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 12: but remember you know Richard Nixon, you know, left office.

552
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 12: Ford was in Carter. They were running and it was

553
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 12: just this turbulent time. President Ford said, you know, dropped

554
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 12: dead to New York City because we were in financial issues.

555
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 12: So this was a grand celebration that captured the nation,

556
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 12: and we hope to do the same thing. I think

557
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 12: regardless of who's sitting in city Hall, you got to

558
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 12: remember the importance of New York City, not only from

559
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 12: a historical point of view, but keep in mind, we're

560
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 12: also Wall Street and we fund a lot of peoples

561
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 12: around the nation, So we need New York city, not

562
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 12: only to survive, but to thrive. It's in all of

563
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 12: our best interests.

564
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: No, it's it's the most important city in the world

565
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: for a reason. And as much angst as I might

566
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: have about the direction we're headed at times, we have

567
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: to we have to root for its success. Speaking of which,

568
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: there there are some tools if people do come to

569
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: New York. There's a couple of online tools that people

570
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: can use to kind of trace the Revolutionary Trail that

571
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: runs through Lower Manhattan specifically give us some info on that.

572
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, and if you can tune in tonight to Radio NightLive,

573
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 12: we have a fantastic guest. It's Peter Aigner. He's with

574
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 12: the Gotham Center for New York City History, one of

575
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 12: our colleges in Lower Manhattan. But he came out with

576
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 12: a Revolutionary Trail app which is available right now. You

577
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 12: can download it Revolutionary Trail App, which really will allow

578
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 12: you to do a walk tour at your own, at

579
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 12: your own pace, and you'll see the buildings.

580
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 4: You know.

581
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 12: Unfortunately, Kevin, so much of our history has been buried

582
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 12: or built upon, right That is just the nature of

583
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 12: New York City. You know, we plow and we build,

584
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 12: and you know, but this will put on your phone,

585
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 12: it'll tell you exactly where you are, and then a

586
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 12: lit'll show it in a historic you know, during the

587
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 12: days of the revolutionary and what it looked like. So

588
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 12: you'll see a brand new, modern office building. But then

589
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 12: when you scan with your phone, all of a sudden

590
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 12: you'll see a two story tavern you know that was

591
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 12: once there. So it'll really give you a better understanding

592
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 12: of where you are and what it looked like two

593
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 12: hundred and fifty years ago. And then he's got a

594
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 12: new gaming app that will be coming out later or

595
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 12: earlier this summer, you know, late in the summer or what.

596
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 4: We're not quite sure.

597
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 12: Maybe may maybe you will say, but that's another element

598
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 12: to try to make, you know, try to capture and

599
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 12: grab the kids, you know, like so often the kids.

600
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: Is more impressive. It's more than play. Yeah, that's all great.

601
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: And then final ten seconds here, we just found out

602
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: that American Express is going to occupy what is going

603
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: to be World Trade two, and we're looking forward to

604
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: that because it's going to be nearly as big as

605
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: the World Freedom Tower.

606
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 12: So yeah, it'll be fifty five stories, it'll be a

607
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 12: huge building.

608
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

609
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 12: By anyone's standards, even Lower Manhattan. But the fact that

610
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 12: American Express one of our oldest, our oldest companies in

611
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 12: the mind, they're two hundred years old. They're staying, doubling

612
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 12: down and staying in New York.

Speaker 1: got the Babylon Bee who have a couple of really

648
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: outstanding sketches this week. I get to preview everything before

649
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: we before we we have it go to air, and

650
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm just going to tell you we've got some of

651
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: the funniest stuff we've ever had in the history of

652
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: my show this weekend, So you do not want to

653
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: miss it for that. And then Phil Wickham, who is

654
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: the who is the not up and coming anymore, He's

655
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: the established. He's called Pastor Phil actually in some of

656
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: the music circles where he runs. He's got a couple

657
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 1: of incredible collabs this week, one with the music group

658
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: called Caine and another one with a musician by the

659
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,959
Speaker 1: name of David Crowder. So it's a couple of really

660
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: great tunes in the new music Spotlight. And then we're

661
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: going to be taking a look at what's going on

662
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: in the war, how we're handling it. I've got military experts,

663
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: I've got a former general, a former colonel, and a

664
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: former captain that are all going to join us with

665
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: different aspects of what's going on in the war in Iran.

666
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: And we're also not going to lose track of the

667
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: site that there are some other important news things happening

668
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 1: that we need to stay attentive to. I'm not joking,

669
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: friends when I say that, and I said it this

670
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: morning in the pages of town Hall dot com. And

671
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you more about my thoughts on this coming

672
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,479
Speaker 1: up in the first few minutes of the next hour.

673
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 1: But getting the Save America Act passed is more important

674
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: than what we're doing in Iran right now, and I'm

675
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: supportive of what we do in Iran. I'm supportive of

676
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: what we're doing right now. I think that's incredibly important,

677
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: and the Save America Act, getting that passed and signed

678
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: into law is even more important. And we just can't.

679
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: We can't take our eye off the ball. If we're

680
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: going to have a country, if we're going to if

681
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: we're going to be the beacon of hope to the

682
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: countries around the world like we wish to be, then

683
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: we have to we absolutely have to pass the Save

684
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: America Act because if you don't have integrity in your elections,

685
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: you can't you can't count on anything. So anyway, join

710
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 5: The only thing that could be greater, of course, would

711
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 5: be that Donald Show, but we don't have that.

712

Speaker 7: Friday on That Kevin Show and now from the Connors

721
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 7: in Sullivan Broadcast Studios. The man who is not what

722
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 7: he wants to be, but is grateful that is not

723
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 7: who he used to be.

724
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: Here here, Hey, there, welcome man. It's our two of

725
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: the Friday edition of That Kevin Show. That Kevinshow dot

726
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: Com for everything related. And you're not going to believe

727
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: where I'm going to go with this, but I am

728
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: going to say it. I know that our television screens

729
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: are obsessed with what's going on in Iran, but I

730
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: cannot let us take our eyes off the ball of

731
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: something that might be even more important. keV, What are

732
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: you talking about? I'm talking about the Save America Act,

733
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: because right now it is everything. Why would you say that, keV?

734
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: If you know we've got a part of the world

735
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: that's at war, actually a couple of parts. You've got

736
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine, You've got what's going on in Iran.

737
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: And as important as all of those are, the events

738
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: unfolding in Iran. In Iran right now are enormous. The

739
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: collapse of a terror regime, the elimination of the Ietola's leadership, structure,

740
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,959
Speaker 1: the ripple effects across the Middle East, all of that's

741
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: going to reshape the balance of power for decades. I

742
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: know this America will benefit greatly from that outcome. We're

743
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: going to benefit from energy, We're going to benefit from

744
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: a safer Middle East, and a regime that funded terrorism,

745
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: threatened Israel, destabilized Arab nations, and pursued nuclear weapons is

746
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: no longer in a position to do so. I think

747
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: that's a really good starting point that matters for world order.

748
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: But as important as foreign policy victories may be right now,

749
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: nothing America faces externally is more important than protecting the

750
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: integrity of our elections. Do you hear me on that?

751
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: Let me say that again. Nothing that America faces outside

752
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: of America is more important than protecting the integrity of

753
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: our own elections. Nothing. And we got evidence of this

754
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: yesterday from voters in the deepest blue state in the country, California,

755
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: a state whose political leadership has spent years mocking election

756
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: security efforts. Just saw yesterday a voter idea initiative blow

757
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: away a signature threshold to appear on the November ballot.

758
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: In other words, in deep blue California, where Gavin Newsom

759
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party run everything. The voters of that

760
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: state just said by more than a million necessary signatures,

761
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: they had a million over the threshold. They said that,

762
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: if approved, we're going to require voters in California to

763
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: present idea at the polls before casting a ballot, a

764
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: policy already common in much of the rest of the

765
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: civilized world outside the United States. Now think about what

766
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: this means. Even in California, a state where Democrats hold

767
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 1: overwhelming power, the people themselves are demanding something that Washington

768
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: elites have spent years trying to dismiss, basic voter verification.

769
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: According to reports, organizers gathered more than enough signatures to

770
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: force a statewide vote on the proposal. That means Californians

771
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: themselves will soon decide whether voter ID should become the

772
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: law in their state. And the polling tells us something remarkable.

773
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: Across the United States, support for voter ID is not

774
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: just strong, it is overwhelming. Polling repeatedly shows that roughly

775
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: eighty four percent of Americans support requiring identification to vote,

776
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: including majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all alike. In

777
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 1: other words, the voter idea is not a partisan issue.

778
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: It's a common sense initiative, and yet the political class

779
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: continues to fight it. Why because voter integrity threatens the

780
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: political advantage some believe they gain from chaos and confusion.

781
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: And let's be clear about something. Requiring identification to vote

782
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: is not radical. It is normal. You need ID to

783
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: get on a plane, to open a bank account, to

784
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: buy medicine, to enter federal buildings, to rent a car,

785
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: or to check into a hotel. But when it comes

786
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: to deciding the leadership of our nation, suddenly some politicians

787
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: claim ID is too much to ask. That argument collapses

788
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: under the slightest scrutiny. Every developed democracy on the planet

789
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: has safeguards to ensure that only eligible citizens vote. Nations

790
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 1: across Europe require ID, Canada requires ID, Mexico requires ID.

791
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: Come on, Yet somehow the US, the nation whose elections

792
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: shape the rest of the global order, we've allowed the

793
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: conversation to devolve into absurdity. That is exactly why the

794
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: Save America Act matters so much. It would require documentary

795
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: proof of citizenship to register to vote. That's not complicated,

796
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 1: that's not burdensome. Proof that the person casting the ballot

797
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: is actually an American citizen. Imagine that the Save America

798
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: Act does not take voting rights away from any one.

799
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: It simply ensures that those rights belong to citizens, and

800
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: that the people the Constitution actually empowers to govern this

801
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: republic are the ones that make it asame decision. Opponents

802
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: call this discriminatory. Chuck Schumer says, it's Jim Crow two

803
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: point zero, which I hate. The claim is not only wrong,

804
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: it's insulting. It assumes minority voters are somehow incapable and

805
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: too stupid to obtain identification. It assumes ordinary Americans are

806
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: too incompetent to meet the same requirements they already satisfy

807
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: in dozens of everyday situations. It's a modern version of

808
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: the soft bigotry of low expectations. Is what it is.

809
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: Verification creates trust, and trust is the currency of democracy.

810
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: Think about this. Without confidence in our elections, the entire

811
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: system begins to unravel. When voters believe outcomes are manipulated, illegitimate,

812
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: vulnerable to abuse, faith in the government disappears, Participation declines,

813
00:47:54,640 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: Cynicism breeds, political stability, erodes things. Election integrity is not

814
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: a partisan luxury. It is the foundation upon which every

815
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 1: other political debate rests, because if the public cannot trust

816
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 1: the vote, nothing else matters. That's why what happened yesterday

817
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: in California is so significant. That's why it shows that

818
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:21,240
Speaker 1: ordinary Americans, even in states dominated by progressive leadership, understand

819
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: what their leaders often pretend not to see. They want

820
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 1: confidence in their elections. They want fairness, They want rules

821
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: that apply to everyone. They want the assurance that the

822
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: people choosing America's leaders are actually Americans. The Save America

823
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: Act delivers that. It aligns federal law with basic democratic principles.

824
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: It reflects what overwhelming majorities of Americans already support, and

825
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: it addresses the single most dangerous vulnerability in modern American politics,

826
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: declining confidence in our elections. Washington made debate endless foreign

827
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: crises and wars and conflicts. The American people are quietly

828
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: insisting on something much closer to home. They want their

829
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: vote to matter. I do, don't you. We want our

830
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: elections to be legitimate. We want the system to work,

831
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: because in the end, the strength of America abroad begins

832
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: with the legitimacy of America at home. And if we

833
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: cannot protect the ballot, we cannot protect the Republic. History

834
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: teaches us that great nations rarely collapse because of enemies

835
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 1: outside their borders. More often, they crumble because the people

836
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: inside lose faith in the institutions meant to represent them.

837
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: The Save America Act is not just legislation. It is

838
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: a declaration that American elections belong to American citizens. And

839
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: if we have the courage to defend that principle, the

840
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: Republic will endure. And if we don't, no foreign victory,

841
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: no matter how dramatic, will save us. For instance, real simple,

842
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: we can go obliterate the eyetolas, and I hope we do.

843
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: We can give a Rand's people free elections, and I

844
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: hope that we do, and encourage them to self govern

845
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: and self determined, and I hope that we do. But

846
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: if we don't self govern, if we don't take natural

847
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: and understandable precautions to have integrity to our election system,

848
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: here's what you just cannot get away from. At the

849
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: end of the day. We have to have the confidence

850
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: that our vote counts in an election. That's honest. That's

851
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: the bottom line. Kevin McCullough, we've got a lot to

852
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: get to this hour. Don't change that dial.

853
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 4: Here.

854
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 6: He is from New York.

855
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 4: Fact.

856
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 6: Kevin McCullough, all.

857
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: Right, welcome back. It is the Friday edition that Kevin Show,

858
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: that kevinshow dot Com. Always glad to have with us.

859
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: Bethany Mandel, who you see, well sometimes she's over on

860
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: that Hugh Hewitt show, but you know, when she's not

861
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: slummeted in talk radio, she's over here with us at

862
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: that Kevin Show. Bethany. Always good to talk to you.

863
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for being.

864
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 2: Here, Thanks for having me.

865
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 4: Kevin.

866
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: The attack last weekend, and you and I spoke briefly

867
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: on Friday, not on the air, but off the air.

868
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: Did you have any sense that anything was up or

869
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: that anything was going to be launched the next night?

870
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: I had a feeling there was enough sort of movement

871
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 2: of American resources into region that it seemed like something

872
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 2: was imminent. And then the night before the attack started,

873
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 2: the US and bossor Mike Takabee, who is a frequent

874
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 2: guest on your show, gave the very clear warning that

875
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: if you would like to leave Israel, you should do

876
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 2: that right now.

877
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: Did the we haven't cleared the embassy or anything like that.

878
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 2: No, but they had basically told all non essential personnel

879
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 2: if you want to leave, this is your opportunity. And

880
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,919
Speaker 2: interestingly enough, the data came in of Americans who left

881
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 2: on sort of emergency flights, and only about one hundred

882
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 2: and fifty did.

883
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: I don't think, to be honest, I don't think a

884
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: lot of Americans that are in Israel are all that

885
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: worried about Israel because Israel's gone through so much in

886
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: the last three years and they've held their grounds. So

887
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: it's like ye, and I hope that that forebodes good

888
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: things for the region all the way around. Let me

889
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: ask you about the strategy that Israel and the US

890
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: have taken in the Iran conflict thus far. Does it

891
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: resonate with israelis Yeah, there was.

892
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 4: A beautiful.

893
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 2: Sort of set up on the beach in Tel Aviv,

894
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 2: I think it was yesterday, a memorial to the five

895
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 2: American service members who were killed so far in this

896
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 2: In this conflict, there's a lot of love and affection

897
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 2: that I think, I generally it's pretty mutual for the

898
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 2: Americans for taking this fight on, because we finally have

899
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 2: a president who recognizes this is in America's best interest

900
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 2: to do this, and so there's an appreciation part of

901
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 2: Israel that we finally have a president sitting in the

902
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 2: White House who understands the excidential threat that aron pose

903
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 2: is not just to Israel, but also to the West

904
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 2: and more generally.

905
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: Well, there's no doubt. I mean, they killed eighty percent

906
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:32,959
Speaker 1: of the people that were killed in Iraq were killed

907
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: by Iranian weaponry. And you know, then there's the thousand

908
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: people that they've killed directly that are Americans. And that

909
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 1: doesn't even take into consideration the Americans that were caught

910
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: up in October seventh. So you're talking about you know,

911
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: we had the grounds alone, the US did for forty

912
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: seven years to go deal with this, and we hadn't

913
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 1: done it. Let me ask you about the anticipated changes

914
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: in the region. And when I bring up the region,

915
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: it's for this reason. Saudi Arabia, who looked like they

916
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: were going to remain neutral, came to the side of

917
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: Israel and the US and saying that they support what's happening.

918
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: The Evidently, the Abraham Accords have shown their endurance pretty

919
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: vividly in this manner. And you know, even though the

920
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: Republican Guard is dying slowly in Iran, it even seems

921
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: like the Iranian people are ready to live at peace,

922
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: not just with Israel, but with their neighbors. If they

923
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: can just get the control of their government back, how

924
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: do you anticipate that impacting the region post the military action.

925
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: So it's interesting.

926
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 2: I have a friend who was approached by a random

927
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 2: Iranian man sort of in the street. He had a yamagon,

928
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 2: so it was pretty clear indication he was Jewish. And

929
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 2: the Iranian man said, when the dust settles and everything clears,

930
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 2: the friendship that will emerge between Iran and Israel will

931
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 2: put the Abraham Accords to shame. And that's not a

932
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 2: disc on the Abraham courts. I think that the future

933
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 2: is really bright in this region with new Iranian government

934
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 2: in place who actually respect the wishes of the Iranian people.

935
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 2: Because not many Americans and not probably not many people

936
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 2: in the world realized that one of the closest allies

937
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy eight was Israel and Iran. And without

938
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 2: that terror proxy in the region holding up Hezbollah and

939
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 2: the Hutis and all of these and all of these

940
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 2: terrorist regimes, this is the dawn of a new Middle East.

941
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 2: And you know, if America and Israel can thread this

942
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,240
Speaker 2: needle carefully, it's very promising.

943
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: Did Iran have to be dealt with before an ultimate

944
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: solution for Gaza could be strategized. I've been thinking a

945
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: lot about that recently, and just the fact that Gaza

946
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: will be reshaped. It's going to be reshaped into something else,

947
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: but it won't have it won't have Hamas backed by

948
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 1: Iran sitting there propping it up. That that impacts that

949
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: recovery effort as well, doesn't it.

950
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 2: It does, but I'm not sure how much. If I'm

951
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 2: just if I'm being a little pragmatic and maybe too pessimistic.

952
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 2: Hamas has the support of the majority of the people

953
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 2: of Gaza, and so you know, it's not like hesbelow,

954
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 2: where you know it's going against the wishes of the majority.

955
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:24,439
Speaker 2: Gaza is a real difficult situation that is probably going

956
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 2: to be harder to solve than these sort of bigger

957
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 2: issues in the region, and and I'm not so hopeful

958
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 2: about about that situation as I am about the wider

959
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 2: Middle East.

960
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, that's that's a fair observation. The what's the

961
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: anticipation of the timeline in Israel? I know what Americans

962
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: are thinking and kind of what they want to have

963
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: be you know, the timeline on this. They want it

964
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: over in days if not weeks. Are Israeli similarly impatient

965
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: or are they will it bother them if it drags

966
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: on a month.

967
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 2: So I'm actually hearing from Americans that it will be weeks,

968
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 2: not days. I anecdotally my friends who are in Israel

969
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 2: who are talking to their schools said that they might

970
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 2: not have regular school until after Passover, so that's mid

971
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 2: April right there. So that kind of gives you a

972
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 2: sense of what Israelis are anticipating. That said, the constant,

973
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 2: constant runs to the shelters that people are doing. I

974
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,439
Speaker 2: mean in Tel Aviv yesterday, I think my friends said

975
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 2: it was ten It's exhausting, especially when you consider people

976
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 2: with kids or who do not have a shelter in

977
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 2: their apartment, which in Tel Aviv is most people. Most

978
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 2: people don't have a shelter in their apartment in Jerusalem

979
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 2: as well, and so you imagine having to pick up

980
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 2: your baby and run into a shelter during a nap

981
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 2: at three o'clock in the morning, then four o'clock in

982
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 2: the morning, then five point thirty in the morning. It's

983
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 2: really really physically and emotionally draining. Israelis they understand the necessity,

984
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 2: but you really, I mean, this is an entire nation

985
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 2: that is extremely severely sleep deprived.

986
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and I have to imagine that that's going

987
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: to be impacted as we continue to get reports about

988
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: the number of ballistic missiles and drones destroyed. You got

989
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: to get that number all the way to one hundred percent,

990
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: so those alarms stopped going off exactly? Are there any

991
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: other ramifications of what we're doing that are going to

992
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: impact Israel's relationship with the broader region. It seems like

993
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: the Abraham Accord countries are doing what they can. It

994
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: certainly seems like Saudi Arabia, who could have stayed silent,

995
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: who could have chosen not to say anything, has taken

996
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: the position that they've taken. And what about Europe? Is

997
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: there any implication about how Israel is viewed through European

998
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: lenses as a result of this?

999
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 2: So it has not been a great week for Spain

1000
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 2: because they refuse you think they refuse to help America

1001
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 2: and even the most minimal ways of letting us use

1002
00:58:55,720 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 2: their basis. So it's interesting the clarity is much more

1003
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 2: present in the Middle East, with much more clear, defined

1004
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 2: enemies of Israel than it is in Europe. The Saudi

1005
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 2: Arabians understand sort of the objective here. The Kataris even

1006
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 2: understand it, and as Lord does. I'm not one to

1007
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 2: praise Kataris ever, but they really, I mean, they've been

1008
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 2: made to understand because the Iranians are sending suicide drones

1009
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 2: and missiles their way as well, and so they understand

1010
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 2: this existential threat that Iron poses.

1011
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 4: I have.

1012
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 2: I'm continually disappointed in Europeans. They seem to think that

1013
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 2: America and Israel will do the dirty work and that

1014
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't impact them. But that's not reality.

1015
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: Every time in world history where something like this is

1016
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: propped up, it's usually impacted Europe pretty significantly, so you'd

1017
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: think they would have some sort of declared interest in it.

1018
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: Last question, does this change in your mind the shape

1019
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: of the Ukrainian Russian situation? If Iran, who was kind

1020
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: of like a third wheel, kind of stepchild to you know,

1021
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: Mommy and Daddy China and Russia. Does this even impact

1022
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: beyond the region.

1023
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 2: It does, and so, Actually, my husband Seth Mandel wrote

1024
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 2: a really good piece at Commentary magazine about this that

1025
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 2: folks should go read okay, and and he he made

1026
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 2: the case pretty convincingly, in my opinion, that that this

1027
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 2: will have wider implications for that conflict, and I think

1028
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 2: he's right.

1029
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: Well, I'm hopeful that everything that you have laid out

1030
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: force just now is actually true. And I would like

1031
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: to see I would like to see of benefit to

1032
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Gaza if if that population is that strongly still pro

1033
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: Hamas you know, a year from now, I'm going to

1034
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: be pretty disappointed that we didn't take care of business

1035
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: better in that region. But we've got to We've got

1036
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: to take it one step at a time. And I

1037
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: think that certainly Iran is the bigger and nastier of

1038
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: all the threats to everyone in the region. And it's

1039
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: a it's it's an argument. I think that Netanyahu and

1040
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Trump may deserve the Nobel Peace Prize in another year

1041
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: or so, just because you've had the guts to go

1042
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: do something about it, which for forty seven years after

1043
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter brought the Eyetolas in, we didn't have the

1044
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: will to do anything about So, Bethany Mandel, thank you,

1045
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: as always, thank you. Kevin mckella, coming right back.

1046
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 13: Uncle Light, Let's stick around for more of that Kevin next.

1047
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 6: Here he is from New.

1048
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 3: York, That Kevin, Kevin McCullough, welcome back from Times Square.

1049
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: It's that Kevin show. Oh, that kevinshow dot com. So

1050
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: glad to have you with us. You've been hearing me

1051
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: in recent days say thank you a lot. A bunch

1052
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: of you have jumped in and you've said, you know what, keV,

1053
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to let those seven hundred and twenty

1054
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 1: children that you started telling us about a couple of

1055
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: weeks ago. We're not going to let them starve for

1056
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and we're going to make sure that

1057
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 1: they have plenty of clean drinking water. Rejoining me from

1058
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: the International World Headquarters of Food for the Poor is

1059
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: Paul Jacob's longtime friend of us and working with us

1060
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: at Food for the Poor, someone I've traveled with somewhat

1061
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: extensively with Food for the Poor and just appreciate his

1062
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: heart on all this. Paul. We started out with seven

1063
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty kids. We have had four hundred and

1064
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: forty three of those children spoken for, and I want

1065
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: to say, you know, that's four hundred and forty three

1066
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: kids that if they didn't receive those two meals each

1067
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: day and the clean drinking water, what tell us what

1068
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: would likely happen to those four hundred and forty three children.

1069
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 14: There are entire communities and places like Ondurs and Guatemala

1070
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 14: where we've travel together. Haiti a great place that we

1071
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 14: have been and seen the work of Food for the

1072
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 14: Poors Ministry partners on the ground and your efforts helping

1073
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 14: us feed and give clean water and those children in

1074
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 14: those communities, whether it's a school feeding center, it's a

1075
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 14: nutritional center, it's an entire community of children going days

1076
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 14: without water. And I don't mean that as hyperbole. This

1077
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 14: is happening right now in our sphere, excuse me, inner hemisphere,

1078
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 14: and right now on the ground in the countries where

1079
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 14: Food for the Poor serves that there are children routinely

1080
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 14: going days without eating. There's children that are drinking water

1081
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 14: from water sources that are making them sick with every sip.

1082
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 14: When I was in Honduras, I asked the mayor of

1083
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 14: this small community, as the ministry partner took us around

1084
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 14: to show us where the families live and how they're living,

1085
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 14: and I asked them, I said, where are these family getting.

1086
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 4: The water from?

1087
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 14: I was kind of curious because you see that there's

1088
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 14: buckets of this water, but you realize they've got to

1089
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 14: get it from somewhere. He took us on a drive

1090
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 14: about twenty minutes down in a vehicle, twenty minutes in

1091
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 14: a vehicle, down the hill, down the mountain and to

1092
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 14: a wooded area quite frankly where this water was coming from.

1093
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 14: It was filthy, it was not poltable. You had everything

1094
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 14: running through that water. And this is what children are

1095
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 14: reduced to if someone does not step into their lives.

1096
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 14: And I want to say a special thank you because

1097
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 14: we've had some amazing gifts that have come in. Philip

1098
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 14: from Whitesburg, Georgia, thank you one hundred dollars gift. We

1099
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 14: had a gift, an anonymous gift from Louisville, Kentucky, Possibility City,

1100
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 14: Thank you one hundred and fifty dollars. Means that are

1101
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 14: Those are two children eating and having getting safe water

1102
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 14: every day for the next year.

1103
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: That is that is And I love I love Georgia,

1104
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: I love Kentucky. I love people stepping up, especially those

1105
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: of you that are new to what we're doing here.

1106
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: And you may say, keV, I noticed that you know

1107
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: you you talk about these things. Not a lot of

1108
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: other people talk about these things. But the reason we

1109
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: talk about them is because I feel like if, especially

1110
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: if we are believers in Jesus and I don't operate

1111
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 1: under the assumption that everybody is that listens to me.

1112
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: But if we wear that label, if we carry that

1113
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: moniker in us, then we are commanded to care about children,

1114
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: especially orphans that have no food to eat and no

1115
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: clean water to drink. And so if someone is thirsty,

1116
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,959
Speaker 1: if someone is hungry, can we help them? And Paul,

1117
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: what I love about the program with Food for the

1118
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 1: Poor is that there's a lot of other feeding groups

1119
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 1: out there that just you know, roll up in the

1120
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: white truck and they drop off some food and then

1121
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: they're gone. You guys are in these kids' lives already.

1122
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: You've been there for forty five years. But there is

1123
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: a consistency to two meals a day that we're talking

1124
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: about for the children they're going to be put into

1125
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: the program. So these four hundred and forty three kids

1126
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: would go from having zero meals on their let's say

1127
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: meal plan for twenty twenty six and now they have

1128
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: two meals a day. That's seven hundred and what thirty

1129
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: meals in in twenty twenty six and beyond that are

1130
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: going to be fed to them every day. For that

1131
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: one time gift of seventy five dollars for the child.

1132
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: That is a remarkable if you think about it, friends,

1133
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: you're talking about tens of meals for every dollar that

1134
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: you're giving, and that is something that's going to have

1135
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: a long lasting impact. Two meals per day. The consistency

1136
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: that that will do to the nutrition system of the child.

1137
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: He's going to be able to fight off disease, she's

1138
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: going to be able to be healthier, and that enables

1139
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 1: so many other things for them for their life. Holistic help.

1140
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 14: That what you're providing right now, the food, the water,

1141
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 14: it is it is helping break the cycle of poverty. Yes,

1142
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 14: you're providing food to filled children's bellies. Yes you're providing

1143
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 14: safe water so that with every sip they're not becoming

1144
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 14: sick and needing aid and assistance.

1145
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: But we're doing more than that here at Food for

1146
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 1: the Poor.

1147
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 14: Your gift is helping us working hand in hand with

1148
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 14: these pastors to break the cycle of poverty, to provide

1149
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 14: them a hand up, not a hand out. We're looking at, well,

1150
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 14: what we've been doing for the last forty four years,

1151
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 14: forty four years of food for the poores, existence, working

1152
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 14: hand in hand with the local church, is making sure

1153
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 14: that we provide paths out of poverty in order to

1154
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 14: transform lives. And it starts with meals and it starts

1155
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 14: with safe water.

1156
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: Two hundred and sixty seven children still have not been

1157
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: spoken for on our original list of seven hundred and twenty.

1158
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: We can't let we can't rest until every one of

1159
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 1: those kids has cared for. Will you help us? And

1160
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: we can't do this without you? But two hundred and

1161
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: sixty seven kids remain. Now let me ask you, if

1162
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: you've already given a gift, would you consider if you've

1163
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: given everything that you should. And if that's fine, I'm

1164
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 1: going to trust you, that's between you and God. But

1165
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: would you consider making this a prayer item until we

1166
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: tell you that all two hundred and sixty seven additional

1167
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: children have been met? Because I can only imagine that

1168
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: if we have everyone giving what they can, but those

1169
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: that have given all that they can begin to pray

1170
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: for those that are still not yet met in terms

1171
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 1: of the needs. We're gonna do this. God responds to

1172
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: the prayers of his people. So if you've already given

1173
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: your gift, please pray that these remaining two hundred and

1174
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 1: sixty seven children will be met and that we will

1175
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: be able to feed them and give them the water

1176
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: that they need, along with the love of the Gospel

1177
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: and all the other paths out of poverty that Paul

1178
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,679
Speaker 1: was talking about. But if you've given, if you've not given,

1179
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: give eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three.

1180
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: If you've already given, pray eight fiy five nine zero

1181
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: seven four sixty seven three. You can also give online

1185
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back. It's the Friday edition, and per usual,

1186
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: we're checking out with doctor Gina Louden, who you see

1187
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:05,679
Speaker 1: weekday mornings on Real America's Voice TV with America Mornings.

1188
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: And Gina, you're doing a great job there. You're watching

1189
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 1: the president. I've just said earlier in this hour as

1190
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: important as what we're doing in Iran is and I

1191
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 1: am fully supportive of his efforts, and I feel like

1192
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: we've really executed at a high level. The Congress is

1193
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: talking about the Save America Act, and I don't care

1194
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,759
Speaker 1: if we don't get that passed. All the great things

1195
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: we do everywhere else are are going to be for

1196
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 1: not because without voter integrity, we're not going to have

1197
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: reliable elections going forward. Your thoughts on where we are

1198
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 1: heading into the.

1199
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 15: Weekend, Yeah, it's funny, you know, Kevin. I think that

1200
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 15: you and I both are people who love the president

1201
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 15: so much that we also see ourselves sort of as

1202
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 15: his accountability as he's in a place where demonic pressure

1203
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 15: is so intense incessantly, and so you see things like,

1204
01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 15: you know, MAGA, people calling this all out and saying,

1205
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 15: you know.

1206
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 4: Hey, you know, don't forget.

1207
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 15: You know, there was this campaign promise, There was that

1208
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,799
Speaker 15: campaign promise. This is who we are as MAGA. It's

1209
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 15: all in love, it's all in love, and it's all

1210
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 15: in respect. But there is a lot of that right now.

1211
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 15: But I think this is also a time where we

1212
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 15: need to remember who we are and that we need

1213
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 15: to stay banded together because as sure as the Democrats

1214
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 15: will circle wagons, we will circle fire because we are principled,

1215
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 15: because that's who we are and that's a great thing

1216
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 15: about us. Yes, and I don't want to lose that. Ever,

1217
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,639
Speaker 15: at the same time, we want to be the president's

1218
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 15: sounding board. We want to be even when that comes

1219
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 15: back and says no, it actually needs to be, Kim Paxton,

1220
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:43,520
Speaker 15: it actually needs to be that we stand against transgender

1221
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 15: surgeries on children. As he started to sort of backstep

1222
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 15: on yesterday, but I think he's turned back around, so

1223
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 15: that's good. So there's a lot of things like that

1224
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 15: where I think, you know, he wants to hear from us,

1225
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 15: He needs to hear from us. He wants to know

1226
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 15: these are still integral issues to us. So it's okay

1227
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 15: to stand. It's okay to take a really firm voice

1228
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:11,440
Speaker 15: against perhaps things that are happening. But it's very important

1229
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:13,920
Speaker 15: that we don't diminish one another in a process. I

1230
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 15: say united as a coalition, and.

1231
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: I and I saw Marjorie Taylor Green go nuts on

1232
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: the truth social post and to be honest, doctor Gina,

1233
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 1: when I read that, I didn't read that as a

1234
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,639
Speaker 1: as a justification for now as long as parents sign

1235
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: off on it, now we can just trains our kids.

1236
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: I think he I just think he mistyped. But I'm

1237
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,839
Speaker 1: glad that he's, you know, beginning to correct that publicly,

1238
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: because I do think it ran the risk of being

1239
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: very misunderstood, especially when when you understand how strong his

1240
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 1: other actions have been on that issue.

1241
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 15: At a right, Yeah, we all remember, you know, like

1242
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 15: he is human, he is fallible, and you know, God

1243
01:11:55,680 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 15: has really put together something beautiful that is continuing to happen.

1244
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 15: And then look, I saw what happened to all that

1245
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 15: stuff with Christinome. I. You know, here's the thing. I

1246
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 15: can't fathom being in his position. I can't fathom juggling

1247
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 15: the things he's juggling every single day. And so will

1248
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 15: there be slight missteps. Yes, that's why we're here, mag

1249
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 15: That's why we're here. That's why God put us here.

1250
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:24,799
Speaker 15: It's okay to speak up. It's okay PG or Tucker

1251
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 15: or Canvas or whoever to say.

1252
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: What they're going to.

1253
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 15: Say doesn't change everything. It changes only that we're having

1254
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 15: a conversation. And we still need to be strong enough

1255
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 15: together to say we can have really tough conversations and

1256
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 15: we can come back together and coalesce around the ideals

1257
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 15: that matter that are by the way, in our platform right,

1258
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 15: and where the Democrats don't forget voice, voted God out

1259
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 15: of their platforms. We need to stand united for the

1260
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 15: things we believe in, and we need to continue to

1261
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 15: believe in the things we believe in and to know

1262
01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,640
Speaker 15: that God is on his throne. Look, none of us

1263
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 15: would have seen back in twenty would have been twenty

1264
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 15: twenty when everything went wrong, that we could be standing

1265
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:12,639
Speaker 15: where we are now, having the sort of negotiating power

1266
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 15: as a as a grassroots coalition who just started as

1267
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 15: a little tea party right mad about Obamacare, mad about

1268
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 15: the clubs and government. We didn't even understand deep State. Then.

1269
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:26,799
Speaker 15: I'm still mad about Epstein. I'm still all over Epstein.

1270
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 15: I'm not four Forever Wars at all. There are certain

1271
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,679
Speaker 15: things that I want to address. Teena Peters, Teena Peter's

1272
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 15: Tina Peters. I'm not thrilled about the situation in Texas.

1273
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 15: There are a lot of things we can say, but

1274
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 15: the bottom line is we have to remember who brought

1275
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 15: us here, who sits on his throne, and why we're

1276
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 15: really in this game to be well.

1277
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: And I think to your point, the fact that this

1278
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 1: administration and this president has such an unusually high number

1279
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 1: of honest believers around him. I think has done nothing

1280
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 1: but Sir of him well, and there are some significant

1281
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: godly voices that are around him. And so when we

1282
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: see the missteps and when we see the stumbles, being

1283
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: able to say what we need to look, I think

1284
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:14,759
Speaker 1: it's important. And look, I've been very disappointed with Tucker

1285
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 1: and Candace and even to some degree Megan Kelly in

1286
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:20,240
Speaker 1: recent weeks. But I don't think that the coalition falls

1287
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 1: apart because a few of us have disagreements. I think

1288
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 1: what you're saying is ultimately true. And if we don't

1289
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,640
Speaker 1: pass the Save America Act and clean up our elections,

1290
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 1: there is no future for what we know of America

1291
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 1: as America currently is. And that's why whatever these other

1292
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:40,679
Speaker 1: conversations are about, we better make sure that our senators

1293
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: and that our congressman get that bill passed and get

1294
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 1: that to the President's desk, because we cannot keep having

1295
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:50,719
Speaker 1: question marks over election after election after election.

1296
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 15: Well that's why it's even more admirable what Ken Paxon

1297
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 15: said that he was perhaps willing to entertain the notion

1298
01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 15: of getting out of the race if the Senate leadership

1299
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 15: would commit to passing the stay back.

1300
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: So I think that tells me a.

1301
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 15: Lot about Kim Paxon's heart in terms of his loving America.

1302
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 15: And that's what, you know, that's what we as voters

1303
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 15: rose up for.

1304
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:17,679
Speaker 4: With Donald Trump.

1305
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 15: He said, you know, I remember you know this. You

1306
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 15: and I differed on Donald Trump for a long long time.

1307
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 15: And I would go into speeches and people would always say,

1308
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 15: you know, oh, he's not my brand of Christian.

1309
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 4: You know, look how many wives.

1310
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 15: He's had, Look how many whatever improprieties he's had. And

1311
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 15: I remember holding out hope, in my hope, in my

1312
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 15: heart that he just loved America, he loved America enough,

1313
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 15: because I couldn't see a motivation otherwise.

1314
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 4: I'll say, in.

1315
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 15: This latest move with Kim Paxon, I can't see a

1316
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 15: motivation otherwise. He might have his weaknesses. You know what,

1317
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 15: I'm no different. I have my own weaknesses. They might

1318
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 15: be in a different category, but there's two weaknesses and

1319
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 15: we all do. And I think that's what God was

1320
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 15: talking about in the Bible when he said, you know,

1321
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,600
Speaker 15: look for the rock in your own eye. And I

1322
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 15: think that's really true still today. So let's all keep

1323
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 15: a humble heart and stick together and let's see where

1324
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 15: we can take this next, because I think.

1325
01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:11,559
Speaker 1: That I think you make.

1326
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 15: A great point, Kevin, we have to stand by the

1327
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:14,839
Speaker 15: biggest issues.

1328
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: Gina aloud and always appreciates you. Watch her every weekday

1329
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 1: morning on Real America's Voice Doctor g We'll talk to

1330
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 1: you next week. Thanks, Kevin. That a good one, Kevin mccallough.

1331
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 1: By the way she was reporting live from Marlocke, that's

1332
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 1: just kind of how cool she's. Kevin mccallach coming right

1333
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: back on.

1334
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 5: Stick around for more of that Kevin next, serving it

1335
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 5: up with a no dream from it.

1336
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: It's that Kevin show, all right, friends, It's been quite

1337
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 1: a week. When I left this microphone last Friday, at

1338
01:16:56,479 --> 01:17:00,679
Speaker 1: the same time, we did not know that we would

1339
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: be at war the next morning. There were a lot

1340
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 1: of things I did not anticipate, and there's a lot

1341
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 1: of things that I am anticipating for this weekend. My

1342
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:14,000
Speaker 1: daughter has musical rehearsals and a new show that she's

1343
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:17,639
Speaker 1: going to be doing, and my boys are running off

1344
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: to youth group Winner retreat, and there's a ton of

1345
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 1: things that I need to get done and focuses that

1346
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:27,920
Speaker 1: I need to put on things, and I'm reminded that

1347
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: in a very what I hope is understood to be

1348
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 1: a humble way, is that we can make all the

1349
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: plans that we want, and we can say that we're

1350
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: going to be about all the things that we want

1351
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: to be about. But at the end of the day,

1352
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: there is a verse that I think holds court over

1353
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,959
Speaker 1: all of it, and it's from the Book of Psalms

1354
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 1: and Psalms one fifteen, verse three. And if you ever

1355
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 1: get a personal note from me, this is what I

1356
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 1: put in my signature when I sign things and give

1357
01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: them to people signersonal letter or sometimes just an email.

1358
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 1: But Psalm one fifteen three is a verse that I

1359
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 1: think encapsulates not only the totality of the Gospel, but

1360
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 1: the totality of what we need to know about life.

1361
01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 1: And it says this, it's very simple, and we know

1362
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: this to be true, that our God is in heaven

1363
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: and does what pleases him. There's a lot of things

1364
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 1: about that verse that are very important to understand. One,

1365
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: God is not ethereal, and he is not mystical, and

1366
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 1: he's not mysteriously somewhere that we don't understand. God is

1367
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 1: in heaven, He's in the place of eternity. He's in

1368
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 1: the place of eternal life, and he will not be

1369
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: removed from that, because there is no one that can

1370
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 1: remove him from there. So the fact that he is

1371
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: at the helm of what we need and where we

1372
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 1: want to be should give us great But then to

1373
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 1: say not only is he there, but that he does

1374
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 1: only not some, not sometimes, not every now and then

1375
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 1: if he feels like it, or often or more often

1376
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: than not, none of those qualifiers he does only. That's

1377
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: an important word. It's a big word. It's a word

1378
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: that I don't always think should be used very much.

1379
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 1: Actually in normal life. I'm a big believer that we

1380
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 1: use never and always far too much. And only is

1381
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: in that same category. If we're going to say something

1382
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: is only, then it should be truly the one. But

1383
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 1: the verse says that God is in heaven, the foundation

1384
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: of all of eternal life, and does only so. He

1385
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything outside of whatever the follows the word only,

1386
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 1: and what follows the word only what pleases him. So

1387
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 1: what takes place in your life this weekend, friend, is

1388
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: something that pleased him.

1389
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 4: For you to.

1390
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 1: Experience it, for you to walk through it, for you

1391
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 1: to be exposed to the temptation or the trial or

1392
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 1: the thing that you're dealing with. It is used for

1393
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 1: his purposes, and the challenge for us is to respond

1394
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:11,040
Speaker 1: to what is put in front of us from that perspective. Okay, God,

1395
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: if you only do what pleases you, then then how

1396
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 1: am I working in conjunction with what you want to

1397
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 1: be done. That's ultimately what our question should be. It's

1398
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 1: a little bit heavy to end the week on, but

1399
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't really care. It's something I think about all

1400
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: the time. You got work pressures, you got people stressing

1401
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 1: out about things and wanting to put all that pressure

1402
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 1: on you or stress on you. Friends. God's not moved

1403
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 1: by any of that. He's not taken by surprise by

1404
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: any of that, because he's in heaven and he does

1405
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,160
Speaker 1: only what pleases him. And the question becomes for us,

1406
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: do we do what pleases us? It's do we do

1407
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,919
Speaker 1: what is necessary to be in alignment with what pleases him?

1408
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 1: Because if our life is in alignment with what pleases him,

1409
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: then we can handle whatever that is that he's doing.

1410
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 1: And I take great comfort from Psalm one fifteen because

1411
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:02,599
Speaker 1: it tells me that there is a God and he's

1412
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 1: in control and I'm not, and that's a good thing

1413
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:09,559
Speaker 1: every single time. Kevin McCollough, I hope you have a
