Our state, our federal 341 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 12: and local partners. 342 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 10: Number one. 343 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 12: Number two, we train in our world. Preparation is important. 344 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 12: We hope and pray it never happens, but that's not 345 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 12: a strategy. Preparation is so all of us have been 346 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 12: training together for many years for active shooters or active assailants, 347 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 12: mass casualty events, and tragically we've had way more than 348 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 12: our share. The third thing is important to note no 349 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 12: children and no. 350 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 13: Staff or hurt. 351 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 7: President Trump, addressing that particular attempted attack on the synagogue 352 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 7: that thankfully no one it was explosives in the car 353 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 7: and the whole thing. The only one killed in this 354 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 7: incident was the forty one year old driver from Lebanon. 355 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 7: President Trump's reaction to this number forty one. 356 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 14: Before we begin, I want to send our love to 357 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 14: the Michigan Jewish community and all of the people in 358 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 14: Detroit Detroit area following the attack on the Jewish Synagogue 359 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 14: early today, and I've been briefed, fully briefed, and it's 360 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 14: a terrible thing, but it goes on. We're gonna be 361 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 14: right down to the bottom of it. 362 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 7: It's and you know, absolutely so that's the president from 363 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 7: the White House, and that was you know again, that 364 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 7: was before we learned what we learned about the former 365 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 7: Army National guardsman from the naturalized Sierra Leone resident who'd 366 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 7: been sentenced to prison for eleven years and didn't serve 367 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 7: the full eleven years. The more we learn on that 368 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 7: guy who stormed into a classroom at Virginia's Old Dominion 369 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 7: University before ROTC students subdued and killed him. He was 370 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 7: able to kill one and the background on who he killed, 371 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 7: by the way, we'll get into that a little later too. 372 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 7: A real hero, great great man of honor and service 373 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 7: to the country. It's sick that this guy was even 374 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 7: allowed to roam in our midst. But these things unfolded 375 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 7: in real time yesterday, within hours of one another, and 376 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 7: I just felt dumbfounded that it didn't seem like anybody 377 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 7: was really connecting. 378 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 2: The two in media. 379 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 7: Maybe they are this morning, to be fair to them, 380 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 7: I don't know, but yesterday it didn't seem like it 381 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 7: was happening. John's and Michigan on Open Line Friday. We 382 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 7: start with you, John, thanks a lot for calling. 383 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: Good morning. 384 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 15: See hi, Chris. 385 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 16: Yeah, so I don't watch to our local news because 386 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 16: it's actually leftist leaning garbage. All three networks but left 387 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 16: yesterday when this happened. I turned on one of them reluctantly, 388 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 16: and the coverage was, I don't know how to describe it. 389 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 16: It was very washed down. While they did cover it, 390 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 16: they were very careful not to say domestic terrorism. They 391 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 16: were very careful not to say potential hit against Jewish people. 392 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 16: It was like it was very inert. 393 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 10: You wouldn't know. 394 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 16: You would think that it was a twenty year old 395 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 16: white kid that did. 396 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 15: This attack on the synagogue. 397 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 398 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 7: I noticed that Abby philip Over at CNN had to 399 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 7: issue an apology because she liked so many on covering 400 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 7: the two would be bombers from Pennsylvania who tried to 401 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 7: blow up the protesters in New York in front of 402 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 7: Gracie Manor on Sunday. She had the issue and apology 403 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 7: this week because she liked so many tried to suggest 404 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 7: as the Muslim mayor of New York was the target, 405 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 7: when in fact that wasn't true at all. So what 406 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 7: do you think is going on here? Why do you 407 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 7: think media is going out of the way to not 408 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 7: tell us the story of these terrorists. 409 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 16: I actually think about this very often, and I don't 410 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 16: understand why. I don't they seem to be in like 411 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 16: protective mode of this invasion, if you will, I don't 412 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 16: know what else you call it when you have people 413 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 16: that are coming from other countries. My parents came here 414 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 16: in nineteen fifty one and all they wanted to do 415 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 16: was become American citizens and act as Americans. And I 416 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 16: work with many people that are that are immigrants that 417 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 16: that are fine people. 418 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 10: But when you start. 419 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 16: Getting people like Islamis that come here and they want 420 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 16: to change our country to their laws, their Sharia law 421 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 16: and everything, the. 422 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: Buck's got to stop. 423 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 16: But it seems like the media supports it. 424 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. It really does feel that way. 425 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 7: I saw you can conclude ultimately, I think, and I 426 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 7: really appreciate the call. John, Thank you very much for 427 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 7: the perspective. Eight five five stigaull is how you reach 428 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 7: us here on open line Friday? You know what I 429 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 7: think particularly given the strikes on Iran right now, I 430 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 7: think mainstream media can ill afford to highlight the fact 431 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 7: that Islamism wants you dead, and that Islamic theocracy is 432 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 7: what rules Iran and has for the last forty seven years, 433 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 7: and what has been coming for you and me all 434 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 7: along Islamism in any form, wherever it's found, whether it's 435 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 7: in Lebanon or whether it's in Sierra Leon, or whether 436 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 7: it's in Iran, it is coming for you and it 437 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 7: is coming for me. It has always been a thing 438 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 7: they have always. 439 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 2: Been on offense. 440 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 7: It is kill or convert. That's it for Islamists. That's it. 441 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 7: It's not a discussion. Kill or convert. You have two choices. 442 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 7: You bend to the will of the political Islamist. You 443 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 7: can or you or you get killed. And they are 444 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 7: on a mission every waking day to make sure that 445 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 7: all of us in the West, be you in Israel, 446 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 7: be you in Germany, be you in the United States, 447 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 7: all of us in the West will convert to their 448 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 7: will or be killed. And President Trump, thank God, is 449 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 7: a president who decided one day he woke up and said, 450 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 7: you know what, enough of these scumbags. He saw evidence 451 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 7: he saw something, he decided to act. It wasn't necessarily 452 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 7: the political thing to do. It certainly wasn't going to 453 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 7: be beneficial politically. There was certainly going to be costs 454 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 7: in terms of short term inflation, in oil prizes and whatnot. 455 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 7: So there's a lot politically that he could have risked 456 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 7: and did risk in striking. But he said, you know what, 457 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 7: somebody's going to take on these scumbags. 458 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 2: I'm going to do it. 459 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 7: They can't have a nuke, they can't have these missiles. 460 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 7: They cannot in their theocratic, wild eyed, crazy, lunatic jee 461 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 7: hottest madness. They have been a menace for almost fifty years. 462 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 7: I'm going to be the guy that takes them out. 463 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 7: Thank God for Donald Trump, because these two people yesterday 464 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 7: are just just two examples. And you say, Stagall, you're 465 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 7: conflating them. You can't conflate them when they're not Iranian. No, 466 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 7: there is Lamists. Islamism. Hear me, own it, say it. 467 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 7: Take it to your heart and to your head. Islamism 468 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 7: is the threat. It is the single greatest threat to 469 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 7: the United States and the West today. Islamism is the threat. 470 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 7: Let me say it again for those of you in 471 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 7: the back. Islamism is the threat. It is not something 472 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 7: to be flirted with. It is not something to be entertained. 473 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 7: It is not something to politely ignore and hope it 474 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 7: goes away. It is to be confronted head on. And 475 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 7: certainly when you find a scumbag, wild eyed, theocratic monster 476 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 7: who pledges his commitment to Isis, tries to buy a gun, 477 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 7: is caught, thank god, by the great detective work of 478 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 7: the FBI. It's recommended by the Justice Department. He's sentenced 479 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 7: to at least twenty years. A judge, a Bush appointee judge, 480 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 7: gives him eleven. Then he's released from time served, behavior 481 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 7: or whatever the hell in twenty twenty four, only to 482 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 7: carry out what he did yesterday. What the hell's wrong 483 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 7: with us, what the hell's wrong with this country, and 484 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 7: what the hell's wrong with the media that would somehow 485 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 7: try to skirt around the very obvious point that I'm 486 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 7: making right now, And I'll tell you something else. 487 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 2: I still get freaked out. 488 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 7: You can call it pigoted, a racist, or whatever you 489 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 7: want to call it. It still concerns me deeply that 490 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 7: there's a guy on a prayer rug, a committed Islamist 491 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 7: with his Islamist wife running the largest city in the country. 492 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 7: That really alarms me. I suspect it does most of 493 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 7: this audience too. I'm not playing patty cake with Islamism, 494 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 7: got it. 495 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: It's not cute, it's not tolerant. I don't have to 496 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 2: do anything like. I'm not interested in it. We're not. 497 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 7: It's this isn't a guy who likes to dress up 498 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 7: and drag, all right. This is beyond a mental health condition. 499 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 7: This is us cult like stuff. And we either take 500 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 7: it out or it takes us out. And thank god 501 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 7: we have a president that understands and recognizes it. And 502 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 7: they're nuked up. They were nuked up and ready to strike. 503 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 7: And I just again the moral clarity of Donald Trump 504 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 7: to do the right thing at a time that it 505 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 7: is not politically popular, even with many in his own base. 506 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 7: I thank God for this president. I continue to thank 507 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 7: God for this president for a host of reasons. But 508 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 7: he's doing the hard stuff. And there will be more 509 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 7: of this, More of this scourge will start bubbling up 510 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 7: because we're dealing with it. Satan doesn't like to be confronted, 511 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 7: but that's fine. Let's smoke these cockroaches out. Wherever they're 512 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 7: found in this country. And if one by one the 513 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 7: heroes and average citizens of this country have to be 514 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 7: the ones to take him out, I guess we'll have 515 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 7: to be the ones to take him out, because it 516 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 7: doesn't seem the political class in this country takes it 517 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 7: seriously enough as a threat. I certainly do know most 518 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 7: of this audience does too. Eight five five Stigall's the 519 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 7: telephone number. All right now, I want to just say 520 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 7: thank you so very much. If I could just step 521 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 7: down and now shift a bit and say thanks, thanks 522 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 7: to you for your generous donations to our Food for 523 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 7: the Poor campaign.

The antithesis of what I was talking about 527 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 7: in Latin America. In the Caribbean, we're talking about people 528 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 7: that have nothing, no food, no optimism about the future 529 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 7: in terms of their economic state, even fresh water, they 530 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 7: don't have it. They just hopefully they have the love 531 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 7: of Jesus. They have the Gospel, and Food for the 532 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 7: Poor brings them both food and water and the Gospel. 533 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 7: And it's through your charitable giving.

Go to christigall dot com. I'm 537 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 7: going to share with you some of the names a 538 00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 7: little later in the show of those of you who 539 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 7: stepped up to give just in the last twenty four 540 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 7: hours eight five, five, three, thirty forty six seventy three year. 541 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 7: Go to christigul dot com banner at the top. 542 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 17: When the United States Constitution was written, it marked the 543 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 17: beginning of a new era in human liberty, but it 544 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 17: was not enough on its own to fully secure the 545 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 17: freedoms of every citizen. The Bill of Rights was needed, 546 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 17: and at the forefront of those rights was religious liberty. 547 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 3: When our Constitution was drafted, it balanced a complicated set 548 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 3: of issues between different regions of America and different sizes 549 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 3: of colonies to create a fair framework. The delegates to 550 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 3: the Convention argued, struggled, and compromised to meet the needs 551 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 3: of their constituents and form a new nation. But even 552 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 3: after all that work, it was still. 553 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: Not enough to assure ratification. 554 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 3: It would take a separate document ratified in seventeen ninety 555 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 3: one and to guarantee the rights of individuals and successfully 556 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 3: launch our ship of estate. The Bill of Rights introduced 557 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 3: the first ten Amendments to protect every citizen, and leading 558 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 3: that list of protections was freedom of religion. The reason 559 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 3: religion was so important to our founding fathers is because 560 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 3: it starts over two hundred and fifty years before the Constitution. 561 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: Was even conceived. 562 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 5: Before diving into that history, it's important to look at 563 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 5: the actual text of the First Amendment and understand exactly 564 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 5: what the Constitution says about religion. The full text reads, 565 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 5: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, 566 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 5: or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom 567 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 5: of speech or of the press, or the right of 568 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 5: the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government 569 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 5: for a redress of grievances. Religious matters here are addressed 570 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 5: in two distinct clauses, the establishment clause and the free 571 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 5: exercise clause. Establishment clause has deep historic roots in Great Britain. 572 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 5: For ages, even the kings and queens did not enjoy 573 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 5: unlimited power and authority, the power they had over earthly 574 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 5: matters was immense but matters of the soul belonged to 575 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 5: the Church and ultimately to the Pope in Rome. That 576 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 5: changed dramatically when King Henry the Eighth wanted to divorce 577 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 5: his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. When the Pope refused 578 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 5: to grant the annulment, the king was furious. He broke 579 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 5: from Rome, created the Church of England and made himself 580 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 5: its head. For the first time in English history, the 581 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 5: monarch was both head of state and head of the church, 582 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 5: combining religious and governmental power. This shift led to a 583 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 5: new kind of state sanctioned religion, and religious loyalty became 584 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 5: a requirement for public office and social standing. It also 585 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 5: triggered persecure of sects outside of the Church of England, 586 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 5: and that persecution drove many to fearlessly seek refuge in 587 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 5: the New World. 588 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 8: By stating that the federal government shall make no law 589 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 8: respecting an establishment of religion, the Constitution made a bold 590 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 8: break from the old world. The United States would not 591 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 8: have a state church. There would be no religious tests 592 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 8: or qualifications to serve in government. Under the Constitution, a 593 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 8: Quaker had the same rights as a Presbyterian, as a Catholic, 594 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 8: or as someone of the Jewish faith. Even those with 595 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 8: no belief at all could still participate fully in American life. 596 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 8: The free exercise clause took it even further. It promised 597 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 8: that Congress would make no law prohibiting the free exercise thereof. 598 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 8: That meant every citizen was free to worship or not 599 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 8: in whatever way they chose, without fear of persecution or 600 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 8: government interference. This was monumental and one of the most 601 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 8: significant protect actions of personal freedom in world history. 602 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 5: It's likely that the men who debated, compromised, and drafted 603 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 5: the Constitution had no idea how far reaching these words 604 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 5: would become. At the end of the eighteenth century, the 605 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 5: inhabitants of the original colonies were still relatively homogenous. Most 606 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 5: European colonists claimed a Christian faith of some sort. Anglicans 607 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 5: were the majority, but there were also Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Quakers, Baptists, Methodists, Catholics, 608 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 5: and Jews, along with Deists who believed in a higher 609 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:42,479 Speaker 5: power but followed no organized religion. The religious diversity we 610 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 5: see in America today would have been unimaginable to them, 611 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 5: as with the large number of Americans who now claim 612 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 5: no religious belief in particular. And yet the First Amendment 613 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 5: protects them all. It guarantees the right to worship freely, 614 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 5: regardless of faith or tradition. 615 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 3: But here's what the First Amendment doesn't actually say. It 616 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 3: never mentions a wall of separation between church and state. 617 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 3: The phrase comes from a letter written by President Thomas 618 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 3: Jefferson in eighteen o two to the Baptist Association of 619 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 3: Dan Barry, Connecticut. Jefferson used the phrase to reassure them 620 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 3: that the federal government wouldn't interfere with their religious practices, 621 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 3: whether intentionally or not. His words introduced a new interpretation, 622 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 3: one that went beyond simply avoiding a national church and 623 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 3: toward a total separation of religion from public life. Some 624 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 3: argue this broader interpretation goes against the original intent of 625 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 3: the framers, noting that Jefferson wasn't at the Constitutional Convention. 626 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 3: In fact, he wasn't even in the country. He was 627 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 3: serving as an emissary to France. Even Jefferson was surprisingly 628 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 3: friendly to public expressions of religion, however, both as Governor 629 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 3: of Virginia and President of the United States of America. 630 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 8: Even so, the wall of separation analogy has been sited 631 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 8: repeatedly by the Supreme Court and has become one of 632 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 8: the most common, though unofficial views of the First Amendment. 633 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 8: It's a classic example of something not in the law 634 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 8: being construed as the law. 635 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 3: Even with the complicated interpretation of the text, the First 636 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 3: Amendment has endured. It stands as a bulwark protecting the 637 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 3: religious rights of Americans, and it remains as a beacon 638 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 3: of hope for people. 639 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: Around the world. 640 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 7: What if the water in your home could make your 641 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 7: child sick. That's the reality for families across Latin America 642 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 7: and the Caribbean today. Mothers unbelievably walk miles for unsafe water, 643 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 7: kids miss school, and then disease spreads. Water is, of 644 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 7: course life, and without it everything begins to fall apart. 645 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 7: Now today, you can do something to help change that. 646 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 7: Your gift of just fifty dollars ensures that two people 647 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 7: have safe and living water in these regions. A gift 648 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 7: of one hundred dollars, that's a family of four transformed 649 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 7: through food for the poor our partners. When you give 650 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 7: a gift, you're providing safe and living water, protecting kids, 651 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 7: and restoring dignity to families, and bringing the hope of 652 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 7: Christ to communities in need. When clean water flows, sickness declines, 653 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 7: kids can return to school, and their hope rises. Families 654 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 7: are waiting for help right now, and you can help 655 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 7: by texting Stigall to five one five fifty five. 656 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 2: That's st I g a l L to. 657 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 7: Five one five fifty five to give living water, or 658 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 7: click the blue give Livingwater banner at christigall dot com. 659 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 7: That's the blue give Livingwater banner at christigall dot com. 660 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 7: All right, yesterday in Virginia speaking of the Waco Attorney 661 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 7: general there in response to this wild eyed former Army 662 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 7: National Guard member who is a geh hobbist in Islama, 663 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 7: committed to jailed Islamist, who was released inexplicably to wreak 664 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 7: havoc again yesterday.

They 671 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 18: care more about guns than they care about synagogue worshippers, 672 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 18: and they care more about guns than they do about 673 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 18: college students.

So if you were 679 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 18: looking for somebody to blame, don't look at anybody up here. 680 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 18: Look at our lawmakers who don't have the courage to 681 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 18: implement sensible gun control measures. 682 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 5: Look to a Supreme court that the mata. 683 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's enough, That's enough of that lunatic. 684 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 7: The fact of the matter is this guy was jailed 685 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 7: after trying to buy a firearm. 686 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 2: Did you know that? I wonder if the Norfolk Commonwealth Attorney. 687 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 7: There, whose name I'm not even going to bother to 688 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 7: dignify because I can't pronounce it anyway, does he know 689 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 7: that the guy was jailed trying to buy a firearm. 690 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 7: Did you know that the FBI actually caught him trying 691 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 7: to purchase a firearm to commit acts of terrorism on 692 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 7: behalf of isis He was captured and jailed, sends to jail. Inexplicably, 693 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 7: he was released in twenty twenty four, didn't even serve 694 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 7: out the eleven years. I don't know why he wasn't 695 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 7: denaturalized and deported immediately here to discuss it, among other 696 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 7: things in Virginia right now. He's a former Army Ranger 697 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 7: infantry captain as a matter of fact, and he represents 698 00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 7: the twenty eighth Senate district in Virginia. Bryce Reeves, Senator Reeves, 699 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 7: it's good to have you here today on a serious occasion. 700 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 2: But thank you very much for your perspective. 701 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 19: Well, it is Friday, and it's a great day, and 702 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 19: I love your tribute to Russe Limbaugh. What a great 703 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 19: guy he was. He'll be missed. But with guys like 704 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 19: you and my other good friend Nick fredis filling in. 705 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 19: You guys keep the patriot blood flowing and I appreciate it. 706 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: But it's yeah, it's a sad. 707 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 19: Day in Virginia. I one of my dearest friends pretty 708 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 19: much oversaw that ROTC unit and it's a shame a 709 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 19: lieutenant colonel lost his life. But I'm so proud of 710 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 19: those young cadets who took quick action. And you know, 711 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 19: it just made me think of my son's a cadet 712 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 19: at Texas A and M a senior and going to 713 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 19: go into military service as well. And you know at 714 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 19: Texas A and M, they're allowed to carry concealed firearms 715 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 19: and they don't have a lot of this nonsense maybe 716 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 19: because of that. So you know that our campuses are 717 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 19: gun free zones, and anytime you have a gun freezer, 718 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 19: people are going to take advantage of that. It's the 719 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 19: same thing that happened, Chris, when we had the shooting 720 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 19: down in Virginia Beach a few years ago. That was 721 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 19: a gun free building and the guy came in and 722 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 19: got his gun in and that's why you know, there 723 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 19: were lawful gun owners. They wouldn't bring their weapons inside 724 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 19: that facility because it was a gun free zone. So, 725 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 19: you know, I'm tired of the arguments of all this stuff. 726 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 19: We just had the majority leader of the Senate stand 727 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 19: up take away our quote unquote assault weapons ban on 728 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 19: us now couldn't even describe the nomenclature of a weapon 729 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 19: to begin with by saying, you put a telescope on it, 730 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 19: blah blah blah. And you know it's just you can't 731 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:45,800 Speaker 19: make this stuff. 732 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: I will say. 733 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 7: You know, you know you got a senator I would 734 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,399 Speaker 7: just point out, as I just said, I would point 735 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,839 Speaker 7: out the system actually in this guy's case, did work 736 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 7: if he were properly punished. That's actually how they originally 737 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 7: caught this guy was trying to purchase a firearm to 738 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 7: wreak havoc back in twenty seven. 739 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 2: I don't know if. 740 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 7: Anybody read that, but that's actually how they caught him. 741 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 7: The system caught him trying to engage in terrorism before 742 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 7: he was released to do what he did yesterday. 743 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 19: Again, well, of course you're right, and the FBI had 744 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,879 Speaker 19: him on the watch list and they were doing their 745 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,720 Speaker 19: very best to do this, but the system is broken. 746 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 19: They just passed a bill in Virginia that would allow 747 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 19: if you had a felony before, which is this guy, 748 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 19: they're not going to require you to have a cash bond. 749 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 19: If you're a known felon, you've gone out, you do 750 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 19: another crime, a felony, they're not going to require you 751 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 19: to have cash bell on that and that you could 752 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 19: be on probation, you could be already out on bond. 753 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 19: They're not going to require any more bond. They're just 754 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 19: going to release you. And it's crazy, I mean, it's 755 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 19: nuts weak. If you look at most of the bills 756 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 19: now coming out of the Virginia General Assembly, at least 757 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 19: in the Senate, it's twenty one nineteen, twenty one Republicans 758 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 19: to nineteen or excuse me, twenty one Democrats and nineteen Republicans. 759 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 19: They're just passing all kinds of crazy laws, and Abigail 760 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 19: Vanberg is going to sign them all. She's not making 761 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 19: our lives easier or better, or safer or more affordable. 762 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 19: She's doing the direct opposite of that. 763 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 7: And if things go her way, even though she said 764 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,439 Speaker 7: she was not all about this, Virginia is really trying 765 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 7: to Jerrymander seriously, and I guess Virginias are soon going 766 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 7: to have their say. That's actually why we were going 767 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 7: to speak to you today. But I'm glad to have 768 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 7: your perspective as a former infantry captain as well and 769 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 7: army rangers. So thanks for your perspective on that. Let 770 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,399 Speaker 7: me shift to what Virginias are going to be able 771 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 7: to sound off on soon, and that's redistricting. 772 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 19: What's going on there, Well, we've already started voting as 773 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 19: of last Friday. It was a first day of early voting, 774 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,280 Speaker 19: so that's going forward. You've got the Democrats with Hakeem Jeffries. 775 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 19: They so far, I believe they spend over twenty two 776 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 19: million dollars in the Commonwealth of Virginia. They pulled in 777 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 19: their their ace card Barack Obama. So that should tell 778 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 19: Virginia something that this is going to be a key state, 779 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 19: just like it was during the election. To try to 780 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 19: poke Presidents Trump and the eye. They say it's temporary, 781 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 19: and that's a lie as well. It's an interim redistrict 782 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 19: king or jerry mandering challenge what they're trying to do, 783 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 19: which will probably change the Commonwealth for the next I 784 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 19: don't know, ten twenty years, and I don't know that 785 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 19: we'll ever have her become anything other than another California 786 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 19: on the East coast if this thing passes. But I 787 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 19: think Republicans are engaged. There's several bipartisan groups out there 788 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 19: that want to maintain what we have, which is a 789 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,320 Speaker 19: commission that draws the lines. One of my former colleagues, 790 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 19: Chap Peterson, well known respected Democrat from Fairfax's part of 791 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 19: that group, working with Governor Allen Our former Attorney General 792 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 19: Jason Miaris. So you have a counter force to that weight. 793 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 19: But you know, let's take the governor at what she said. 794 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 19: She said that basically jerry mandering is bad, we shouldn't 795 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 19: do it. 796 00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. 797 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 19: You can look. I've quoted her in and X and 798 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 19: everything else. And what is the first one of the 799 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,320 Speaker 19: probably second or third things she did after getting this 800 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 19: out of two eighty seven g and making our lives 801 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 19: less safer by keeping us a sanctuary state is sign 802 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 19: this redistricting bill. It's going to cost taxpayers five million dollars. 803 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 19: So here's another five million dollars that taxpayers don't want 804 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 19: to spend money on that they're going to pay the 805 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 19: bill for and sign the redistricting bill. Talk about a 806 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 19: hypocrite or maybe she just lot? Was she lying then, Chris? 807 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:28,280 Speaker 19: Or's she lying? 808 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 10: Now? 809 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 7: Yeah, I got to tell you, and she's showing us 810 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 7: who she is. She was never moderate, that's for certain. 811 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 7: And this should also prove proof positive Democrats play for 812 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 7: keeps when they win, they play for keeps. This will 813 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 7: play out at the federal level as well with the filibuster. 814 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 7: So I hope senators soon as paying attention in the 815 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,280 Speaker 7: United States Senate. But Senator there in Virginia, Bryce Reeves. 816 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 7: Thank you first of all for your service and your perspective, sir, 817 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 7: and we would love to have you back as your 818 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 7: time is available, because Virginia's one you know, you hate 819 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 7: to lose it as a purple state, but that this 820 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,839 Speaker 7: jerry mandering thing goes through, we probably will. So Senator Reeves, 821 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 7: thanks a lot for your time today. 822 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 19: Chris, thank you, and seriously, I mean this with all 823 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 19: my heart, man, thank you for what you were doing 824 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 19: to let conservatives around the country know really what's happening. 825 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 19: It's tough to get anything through the national media. But 826 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 19: thank you, God bless you, sir. 827 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 7: Thank you, thank you for your service. More importantly, Senator 828 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 7: Bryce Reeves.

After a couple of holdout projects dropping priority 834 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 7: or are canceled, the rest will fall in line.

Simple clear 838 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 7: response to the Save Act is what needs to be 839 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 7: a nationwide commercial to call out the shame of the politicians. 840 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:13,399 Speaker 2: And thank you for that. 841 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 7: Email eight five five Stigall, by the way, is our 842 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 7: telephone number here on open line Friday and I'll get 843 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 7: right to the phones in a second.

Coincidentally sad. Yeah, there's 850 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 7: a desire obviously to hamstring Donald Trump's efficacy, have Democrat 851 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 7: correct control and basically end Donald Trump's role. And he's 852 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 7: been rolling, There's no doubt about it. I think everybody 853 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 7: was feeling pretty darn good outside of the State of 854 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 7: the Union address, and then of course the media storyline 855 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,400 Speaker 7: shifts and they are doing their level best to highlight 856 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 7: everything that they possibly can to make this look like 857 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 7: this president's on his back foot rather than on offense. 858 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 7: It's designed that way.

Well, 923 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 7: I'm not a recipient as of yet, I hear routinely 924 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:35,279 Speaker 7: how confusing it is. Is that still the case? And 925 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,319 Speaker 7: have we made any headway in the Trump era of 926 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 7: making it less confusing? 927 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 10: You know? 928 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 1: I think so, you know. 929 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 20: And I'm here representing Medicare Advantage majority, and of course 930 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 20: we represent the Medicare Advantage program, the thirty five million 931 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 20: beneficiaries and caregivers and healthcare providers that make up the 932 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 20: caregiving and ecosystem to care for our seniors who are 933 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 20: on the Medicare Advantage program. And you know, I think 934 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 20: one of the hallmarks of Medicare Advantage is that it 935 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 20: does streamline a lot of the a lot of the 936 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 20: frustration out of out of a very kind of red 937 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 20: tape driven process regarding you know, a single point of contact. 938 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 20: If you're a senior, has you know, multiple chronic health 939 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,399 Speaker 20: care conditions that need attention, uh, you know, it helps 940 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,319 Speaker 20: to cut down on the paperwork from one visit to 941 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 20: the next. 942 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 1: It helps with prescription. 943 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 20: Drug management and understanding, you know, the help the caregivers understand, 944 00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 20: you know, what their senior needs for for their their 945 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 20: prescriptions every day. And so I do think that the 946 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 20: Medicare Advantage program in particular, you know, a hallmark of 947 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 20: that of that program is the fact that it does 948 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,239 Speaker 20: provide some some simplicity and cut through the red tape 949 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 20: and a single point of contact for a lot of 950 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,280 Speaker 20: engagements with with healthcare providers. 951 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 7: So forgive my ignorance, and I'm sorry, I'm just not 952 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 7: at school on it as I ought to be. But 953 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,839 Speaker 7: Medicare Advantage specifically differs how from maybe other seniors who 954 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 7: are on a standard Medicare plan. 955 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:55,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, great question. 956 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 20: So when when seniors turn sixty five and you mentioned 957 00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 20: the seniors in your life, you know, we're both members 958 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 20: of the same which generation. So my wife and I 959 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 20: have kids home to take care, but we also got 960 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 20: aging parents and aging family members like you, and so 961 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 20: you know, this is a. 962 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 1: Program I have become more familiar with in recent years. 963 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: Is why this is kind of a passion of. 964 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,360 Speaker 20: Mine to understand how we can help other seniors to 965 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,200 Speaker 20: understand the benefits and the appeal of Medicare advantage. And 966 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 20: to your point, Medicare advantage goes beyond traditional fee for 967 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 20: service Medicare and then Medicare Advantage plans offer benefits like 968 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:30,799 Speaker 20: dental coverage, health coverage, vision coverage, hearing coverage, in home care. 969 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 20: Prescription drug coverage is included in most Medicare advantage plans. 970 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 20: And that's the Medicare part dy that we hear so 971 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 20: much about. And Chris, importantly, Medicare advantage includes a cap 972 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 20: on annual out of pocket costs, and so if seniors 973 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 20: have a medical event come up during the course of 974 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,399 Speaker 20: the year, they know what they're going to the max 975 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 20: that they're going to pay out of pocket for for 976 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,320 Speaker 20: for an emergency or something that comes up, which is 977 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,960 Speaker 20: really important for for seniors on fixed incomes right now. 978 00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 7: And Darren, do you have that was my next question? 979 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,920 Speaker 7: Do you have to quality five for Medicare advantage? Are 980 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 7: there qualification requirements in order to receive Medicare advantage? 981 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 20: When a senior becomes sixty five, they get their choice 982 00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 20: between a traditional Medicare plan or a Medicare advantage plan. 983 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,040 Speaker 20: And so you know, we part of are remit as 984 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 20: an organization is to help educate patients and help educate 985 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 20: seniors about the options that are out there and to 986 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,799 Speaker 20: choose the plan that the best meets their needs. You know, 987 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,920 Speaker 20: the choice is another hallmark the entire Medicare program. So 988 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 20: every year, seniors get a chance to either re enroll 989 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 20: in their current plan, whether it be a traditional feed 990 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 20: for service Medicare plan or a Medicare Advantage plan, and 991 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,360 Speaker 20: make the appropriate change for their own for their own situation, 992 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 20: their own healthcare needs. 993 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 7: If people want to research this in more detail, Medicare 994 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 7: Advantagemajority dot org is the website Medicare Advantage Majority dot 995 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 7: org and Darren Grubb represents that organization here with me today. 996 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,799 Speaker 7: Always talking about rates. You know, there's an advanced rate 997 00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 7: notice that's gone out already for twenty twenty seven. What 998 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,759 Speaker 7: does that mean to seniors and what should we know 999 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:02,319 Speaker 7: about that? 1000 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 20: Yeah, you know, our priority as an organization is helping 1001 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,239 Speaker 20: power seniors to understand how any public policy changes to 1002 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 20: the Medicare Advantage program may may impact their bottom line, again, 1003 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,839 Speaker 20: particularly those living unfixed in comes. And so to your point, 1004 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 20: at the beginning of every year, CMS puts out an 1005 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,480 Speaker 20: advanced rate notice, which is proposed percentage of how much 1006 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,280 Speaker 20: the federal government will invest in the Medicare Advantage program. 1007 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,760 Speaker 20: For the following year. You know, reflect how much payments 1008 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,799 Speaker 20: will change a year over year. And so this year 1009 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,360 Speaker 20: CMS put out an advanced rate notice of point zero 1010 00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 20: nine percent of an increase that is less than one 1011 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,919 Speaker 20: tenth of one percent. And meanwhile, healthcare costs, as you know, Chris, 1012 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,680 Speaker 20: health care spending has increased significantly over the last two years. 1013 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 1: It increased by seven. 1014 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 20: Point two percent in twenty twenty four, and it looks 1015 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,319 Speaker 20: like a seven point one percent increase for twenty twenty five. 1016 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 20: And so with health care cost climbing, a point zero 1017 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,400 Speaker 20: nine percent increase in payments will not keep up with 1018 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:00,479 Speaker 20: rising health care costs. 1019 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,720 Speaker 1: That's simple math. And so the result is that seniors 1020 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 1: are going to face even. 1021 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,960 Speaker 20: Higher costs of their healthcare coverage, fewer benefits, less access 1022 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,959 Speaker 20: to the doctors and services that they need. So again, 1023 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,839 Speaker 20: at a critical time where we're still punching our way 1024 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,680 Speaker 20: to get out of a high inflationary environment, our environment 1025 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 20: and costs are high. You know, this is a program 1026 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,720 Speaker 20: that seniors have paid into their entire careers. They expect 1027 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 20: their federal government to meet their promise to them in 1028 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 20: their golden age and to provide the benefits and the 1029 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,040 Speaker 20: services that they that they deserve. 1030 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,400 Speaker 7: I imagine, and I know you're not really here to 1031 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 7: get into this, but I imagine Darren Grubb again Medicare 1032 00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:39,720 Speaker 7: Advantage Majority dot Org. I would imagine that the fraud 1033 00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,239 Speaker 7: that's been uncovered recently has really got to frost you 1034 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:46,400 Speaker 7: as somebody who's advocating for legitimate Americans receiving these benefits. 1035 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 7: The fraud's been stunning. As I say, we've talked with 1036 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 7: doctor Oz a couple of times about it, and I 1037 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 7: know they're really trying to crack down on that. That's 1038 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 7: not exactly the subject at hand here today, but you know, nevertheless, 1039 00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 7: it's a huge issue, isn't it. 1040 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:00,960 Speaker 1: Well, it is. 1041 00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 20: It affects Look, every affects every government program out there, right, 1042 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,160 Speaker 20: and so you know, we understand, uh, you know, the 1043 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,920 Speaker 20: need and the desire to to to make sure that 1044 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 20: there is no fraud in any government program. We also 1045 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 20: understand the desire to reign in the federal budget. Our 1046 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,440 Speaker 20: point is, we know that this is a highly regulated program. 1047 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:24,279 Speaker 20: It has high satisfaction rates. Seniors are very very appreciative 1048 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,880 Speaker 20: and happy with the service that they get from their providers, 1049 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 20: their plan providers, and their and their and their physicians, 1050 00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 20: and so you know, we understand all of that, but 1051 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 20: what we can't have is for Congress or the federal 1052 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,520 Speaker 20: government to try and balance the federal budget on the 1053 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 20: backs of seniors at the expense of the of the 1054 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,800 Speaker 20: healthcare and the services that seniors need and deserve. And so, 1055 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 20: you know, we believe that there is room for both 1056 00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:48,839 Speaker 20: to be done, you know, to to to get rid 1057 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 20: of all the ways to fraud abews that we can, 1058 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,799 Speaker 20: but it cannot be done at the expense of seniors, uh, 1059 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,360 Speaker 20: you know, just to meet a budget number. And so 1060 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,759 Speaker 20: you know, we know that this program is working today 1061 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,600 Speaker 20: for seniors, for their caregivers around the entry and so 1062 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,719 Speaker 20: this is going to be a crucial election year and 1063 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,239 Speaker 20: a big issue during a crucial election year. 1064 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,239 Speaker 7: Well, no doubt, seniors are the highest voting block for sure, 1065 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 7: and they vote chief concerns like these. Medicare Advantage Majority 1066 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,680 Speaker 7: dot Org is the website if you want to read 1067 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 7: up more on what Darren Grubb is talking about here today. 1068 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:22,839 Speaker 7: From Medicare Advantage Majority prescription drug prices. Again, we've been 1069 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 7: talking a lot with the Trump administration in this last 1070 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,680 Speaker 7: year about things they're trying to tackle like the price 1071 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:27,320 Speaker 7: of things. 1072 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:29,759 Speaker 2: Have you seen any successes there? 1073 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,800 Speaker 7: I think they say that they're about to or have 1074 00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,480 Speaker 7: online about forty different drugs that are reduced rate. Has 1075 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 7: that been helpful or have you not seen that really yet? 1076 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,799 Speaker 7: For Medicare folks a. 1077 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 20: Bit out of my purview only because we represent the 1078 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,279 Speaker 20: Medicare advantage system as a whole and the beneficiaries and 1079 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 20: caregivers that healthcare providers who rely on it. You know, 1080 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,080 Speaker 20: I know again that the Medicare advantage program has been 1081 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:51,880 Speaker 20: a huge benefit. 1082 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 1: And when you pull seniors about what they value the most. 1083 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 20: About their Medicare advantage plans, the fact that prescription drug 1084 00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 20: delivery is often included. Can jruct coverage and delivery is 1085 00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,319 Speaker 20: often included in their programs. That's a huge benefit, as 1086 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 20: well as the uh the you know, the the vision care, 1087 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 20: the hearing care, dental care, all of those things kind 1088 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,480 Speaker 20: of the best parts of Medicare are all packaged into 1089 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 20: one offering in most Medicare advantage plans. 1090 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 1: And again that's different than. 1091 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 20: Traditional fee for service Medicare, where you have a baseline 1092 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:20,920 Speaker 20: plan and then you may have to have supplemental coverage 1093 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 20: to meet your needs. And so again Medicare Advantage pulls 1094 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,279 Speaker 20: together all of the best elements of the Medicare plan 1095 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,320 Speaker 20: for most seniors. And you know, part of our remit 1096 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 20: as well is also to help seniors educate themselves about 1097 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:37,600 Speaker 20: what what plan best. 1098 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,680 Speaker 1: Meets their needs, and so we're always working to do that. 1099 00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,800 Speaker 7: Is there a particular piece of legislation right now? I 1100 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:44,719 Speaker 7: know you pay close attention to what Congress is or 1101 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 7: is not doing. Is there legislation that seniors in particular 1102 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,960 Speaker 7: ought to be following up what their members of Congress 1103 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 7: and senators about right now? 1104 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 20: You know, Medicare advantage is always, always, we're always working 1105 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,839 Speaker 20: with seniors to make sure that their voices are heard 1106 00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 20: with their members of Congress. Need to understand that they 1107 00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,840 Speaker 20: have an opportunity to weigh in with their members of Congress, 1108 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 20: and they've done so before, even during the big Beautiful Bill, 1109 00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,759 Speaker 20: the debates and negotiations last summer when Medicare Advantage was 1110 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:13,799 Speaker 20: on the table for a bit. Luckily that came off 1111 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 20: because seniors reached out through text messages and phone calls 1112 00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 20: and showing up at town halls to make their voices 1113 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:20,240 Speaker 20: heard with the member of Congress. 1114 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 1: Right now, Chris, we are focused on the CMS advanced rate. 1115 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,440 Speaker 20: You know, CMS will accept public input between now and 1116 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,480 Speaker 20: the end of the month, the end of March, and 1117 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 20: then in April they will come out with their final 1118 00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,520 Speaker 20: rate notice. And again, so we are looking at the 1119 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:38,919 Speaker 20: gap between the proposed funding increase for twenty twenty seven 1120 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 20: advant advantage rates and. 1121 00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:44,600 Speaker 1: The rising cost of healthcare. 1122 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,160 Speaker 20: That is a gap that simple math tells you is 1123 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 20: going to be a problem for seniors because if that 1124 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 20: current rate holds, seniors going to have billions of dollars 1125 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 20: of costs pass out to them. It's going to meet 1126 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 20: you know, hired deductibles, higher premiums, higher out of pok costs, 1127 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,080 Speaker 20: and again less access to the doctors and services that 1128 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:03,440 Speaker 20: they need. 1129 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 7: Darren Grubb Medicare Advantage Majority dot Org.

Their missiles, 1316 01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,280 Speaker 4: their missile launchers and drones being. 1317 01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:58,680 Speaker 13: Destroyed or shot out of the sky. 1318 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:02,920 Speaker 4: Their missile volume is down ninety percent, they're one way 1319 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,280 Speaker 4: attack drones yesterday down. 1320 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:06,800 Speaker 13: Ninety five percent. 1321 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,720 Speaker 4: And as the world is seeing, they are exercising sheer 1322 01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:14,040 Speaker 4: desperation in the Straits of Hormuz. 1323 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 13: Something we're dealing with, We have been dealing with it 1324 01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 13: and don't need to worry about it. 1325 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:24,960 Speaker 4: We'uran planned to defeat, destroy, disable all of their meaningful 1326 01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:30,000 Speaker 4: military capabilities at a pace the world has never seen before. 1327 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:34,080 Speaker 4: But it's not just that Iran doesn't have a functioning 1328 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,160 Speaker 4: air force, or that their entire navy is at the 1329 01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 4: bottom of the Persian Gulf, or their. 1330 01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:40,960 Speaker 13: Missile force is shrinking daily. 1331 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,440 Speaker 4: Even more importantly, they also don't have the ability to 1332 01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,120 Speaker 4: build more that's the most. 1333 01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,840 Speaker 13: Important component I'd like to emphasize today. 1334 01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:56,120 Speaker 4: Soon, and very soon, all of Iran's defense companies will 1335 01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,280 Speaker 4: be destroyed. For example, as of two days ago, Iran's 1336 01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 4: entire ballistic missile production capacity, every company that builds every 1337 01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 4: component of those missiles has been functionally defeated, destroyed. Buildings, complexes, 1338 01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:14,800 Speaker 4: and factory lines all across Iran destroyed. So we're shooting 1339 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,719 Speaker 4: down and destroying what missiles they still have in stock, 1340 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:22,280 Speaker 4: but more importantly, ensuring that they have no ability to 1341 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:28,360 Speaker 4: make more Their production lines, their military plants, their defense 1342 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:34,519 Speaker 4: innovation centers defeated. The ron's leadership is in no better shape, 1343 01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:40,840 Speaker 4: Desperate and hiding. They've gone underground, kaworm. That's what rats 1344 01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:45,080 Speaker 4: do we know? The new so called not so supreme 1345 01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:50,479 Speaker 4: leader is wounded and likely disfigured. He put our statement 1346 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,280 Speaker 4: yesterday a weak one actually, but there was no voice 1347 01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:56,000 Speaker 4: and there was no video. 1348 01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,799 Speaker 13: It was a written statement. He called for unity. 1349 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,960 Speaker 4: Apparently, killing tens of thousands of protesters is his kind 1350 01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,960 Speaker 4: of unity. Iran has plenty of cameras and plenty of 1351 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,240 Speaker 4: voice recorders. Why a written statement? 1352 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:12,320 Speaker 2: I think you know why? 1353 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:17,720 Speaker 4: His father dead. He's scared, he's injured, he's on the run, 1354 01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:21,479 Speaker 4: and he lacks legitimacy. It's a mess for them. Who's 1355 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:27,360 Speaker 4: in charge Iran may not even know. With every passing hour, 1356 01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:31,400 Speaker 4: we know, and we know they know that the military 1357 01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:35,160 Speaker 4: capabilities of their evil regime are crumbling. They can barely communicate, 1358 01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,120 Speaker 4: let alone coordinate. They're confused, and we know it. Our 1359 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:44,400 Speaker 4: response we will keep pressing. We will keep pushing, keep advancing. 1360 01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:50,560 Speaker 4: No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some of 1361 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:54,760 Speaker 4: this crew in the press just can't stop. Allow me 1362 01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 4: to make a few suggestions. If people look up at 1363 01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,640 Speaker 4: the TV and they see ban they see headlines. I 1364 01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,840 Speaker 4: used to be in that business, and I know that 1365 01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,240 Speaker 4: everything is written intentionally. For example, a banner or a 1366 01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:12,600 Speaker 4: headline mid East War intensifies, splashing on the screen the 1367 01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:16,320 Speaker 4: last couple of days, alongside visuals of civilian or energy 1368 01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 4: targets that Iran has hit because that's what they do. 1369 01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:25,080 Speaker 4: What should the banner read instead? How about Iran increasingly 1370 01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:27,160 Speaker 4: desperate because they are. 1371 01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,200 Speaker 13: They know it, and so do you. If it can 1372 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:35,720 Speaker 13: be admitted or more fake news from CNN. 1373 01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,880 Speaker 4: Reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact 1374 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:44,479 Speaker 4: on the straight of horror moves patently ridiculous. Of course, 1375 01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:47,439 Speaker 4: for decades, Iran has threatened shipping in the strait of 1376 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:48,000 Speaker 4: horror moves. 1377 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:49,280 Speaker 13: This is always what. 1378 01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:54,040 Speaker 4: They do, hold the straight hostage. CNN doesn't think we 1379 01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:59,400 Speaker 4: thought of that. It's a fundamentally unserious report. The sooner 1380 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 4: David Ellison takes over that network, the better. Another example 1381 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:09,559 Speaker 4: of a fake headline that I saw yesterday, war widening. 1382 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:14,360 Speaker 4: Here's a real headline for you, for an actual patriotic press. 1383 01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:19,559 Speaker 4: How about Iran shrinking, going underground. You see, Iran's leaders 1384 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:22,240 Speaker 4: are hiding in bunkers and moving into civilian areas. 1385 01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:26,200 Speaker 13: The only thing that is widening is our advantage. 1386 01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:29,960 Speaker 4: Not to mention, our golf partner's stepping up even more 1387 01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,479 Speaker 4: now going on the offense, and have always been with 1388 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:37,680 Speaker 4: us on the defense, with collective and integrated air defenses. 1389 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:45,920 Speaker 4: Our will it is unshakable, our options maximized, and our 1390 01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:52,519 Speaker 4: capabilities still building. We're going up, they're going down. As 1391 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,799 Speaker 4: I said from the start, President Trump holds the cars. 1392 01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,439 Speaker 4: He'll determine the pace, the tempo, and the timing of 1393 01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:03,800 Speaker 4: this conflict. His hand firmly on the wheel as well 1394 01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:08,000 Speaker 4: as on the throttle, setting America first peace through strength 1395 01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:12,720 Speaker 4: in action. From day one, as our nation expects and 1396 01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:16,439 Speaker 4: the present demands, our warriors have fought with lethality, precision, 1397 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:20,679 Speaker 4: and rapid innovation. In fact, today will be yet again 1398 01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 4: the highest volume of strikes that America has put over 1399 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,599 Speaker 4: the skies of Iran and Tehran. The number of sorties 1400 01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:30,040 Speaker 4: and number of bomber pulses the highest yet Ramping up 1401 01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:31,120 Speaker 4: and only up. 1402 01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 13: And quantity has a quality of its own. As we 1403 01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:36,040 Speaker 13: continue to ramp. 1404 01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:39,000 Speaker 4: Up every tool of AI, of cyber, of space, EW, 1405 01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,960 Speaker 4: counter uas you name it, we're employing it, blinding. 1406 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:48,880 Speaker 23: Confusing, and deceiving our enemy because we know who the 1407 01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:52,160 Speaker 23: good guys are here, and the American people do too, 1408 01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:55,240 Speaker 23: And that makes my job simple. 1409 01:12:56,160 --> 01:13:00,880 Speaker 4: I serve God, the troops, the country, the Constitution, and 1410 01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,439 Speaker 4: the President of the United States, and answer only to those, 1411 01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,960 Speaker 4: all in service of victory on the battlefield and the 1412 01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:13,559 Speaker 4: military objectives that we've laid out from day one. Defeat 1413 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:17,240 Speaker 4: the missiles, missile launchers, and defense industrial base which I 1414 01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:21,200 Speaker 4: laid out today. Defeat the Navy and deny iron the 1415 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:27,280 Speaker 4: ability to have a nuclear weapon clear, decisive, achievable, and 1416 01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:30,400 Speaker 4: Admiral Cooper knows the Centcom commander, who we spent a 1417 01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,479 Speaker 4: couple of hours with last night, that in pursuit of 1418 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:37,320 Speaker 4: those objectives, we have his back in every way. His 1419 01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:39,880 Speaker 4: commanders know that, and so do the troops in harm's way. 1420 01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:44,080 Speaker 4: Admiral Cooper gets what he needs, the assets, the authorities, diminutions, 1421 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:48,080 Speaker 4: you name it. We will stop at nothing to win 1422 01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:53,960 Speaker 4: war as hell, war as chaos, and as we saw 1423 01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,479 Speaker 4: yesterday with the tragic crash of our Case one th 1424 01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:03,880 Speaker 4: five tanker, bad things and happen American heroes, all of them, 1425 01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:07,560 Speaker 4: and as I have with all of them, as we have, 1426 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:11,840 Speaker 4: we will greet those heroes at Dover, and their sacrifice 1427 01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,439 Speaker 4: will only recommit us to the resolve of this mission. 1428 01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:18,920 Speaker 4: But war in this context and in pursuit of peace, 1429 01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,920 Speaker 4: is necessary, which is why each day, unbended knee, we 1430 01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:26,880 Speaker 4: continue to appeal to Heaven, to Almighty God's providence to 1431 01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:29,680 Speaker 4: watch over and give special skill and confidence to our 1432 01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:34,559 Speaker 4: leaders and to our warriors, to those warriors who. 1433 01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:36,519 Speaker 13: This nation prays for every single day. 1434 01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,000 Speaker 4: I hear from all of you out there who pray 1435 01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:42,280 Speaker 4: for them every day, Stay unbended knee and pray for them. 1436 01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,280 Speaker 13: I continue to say to them, godspeed, May the Lord 1437 01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:50,160 Speaker 13: bless you and keep you and keep going.

We'll jump in here only because 1441 01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,960 Speaker 7: now we talk to the Joint Chiefs Chair and hear 1442 01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:04,120 Speaker 7: sort of operationally kind of his summary, and just because 1443 01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:05,920 Speaker 7: I don't want to interrupt those of you who are 1444 01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,559 Speaker 7: interested in that. Of course you can, you can certainly 1445 01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:10,200 Speaker 7: seek it out. There are plenty of places to catch 1446 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:11,760 Speaker 7: it all. But just to kind of go over what 1447 01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:19,639 Speaker 7: Secretary Higgsith said, and I thought it interesting. He pointed 1448 01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:25,120 Speaker 7: out the way media will often frame this, and I 1449 01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:27,920 Speaker 7: do think it's important and worth noting. A friend of 1450 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:29,479 Speaker 7: mine sent a note and he said, I don't think 1451 01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,080 Speaker 7: Haggesith's complaining about the media coverage is a good look. 1452 01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:34,719 Speaker 7: He needs to knock that off. Just give us the facts, 1453 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:36,280 Speaker 7: look strong, be decisive. 1454 01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:40,439 Speaker 2: That's it. Don't complain about the media. I get that 1455 01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 2: point of view. 1456 01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 7: However, I do think because he's of the media instructing people, 1457 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,839 Speaker 7: knowing that he has cameras all trained on him, instructing 1458 01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,000 Speaker 7: people on how to consume it is always smart. 1459 01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:52,080 Speaker 2: He is of cable news. 1460 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:53,559 Speaker 7: So for him to say, I was on the other 1461 01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:55,600 Speaker 7: side of the camera and I understand how they cover it. 1462 01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:58,920 Speaker 7: It is a decision they make. They type these things 1463 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:02,080 Speaker 7: physically in on the screen. It is a decision for 1464 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:07,920 Speaker 7: you to read things like war widening, And he simply 1465 01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:10,479 Speaker 7: asks an ED. I think it's a legitimate question, he says, 1466 01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,639 Speaker 7: instead of typing in war widening, how about you write 1467 01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:17,639 Speaker 7: Iran shrinking, going underground. What's the difference in those headlines 1468 01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:19,960 Speaker 7: a lot?

It's because he's been disfigured and he's hiding underground, 1498 01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:03,639 Speaker 7: and they're trying to project strength but they have nothing. Well, 1499 01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,560 Speaker 7: I got to tell you there's still a lot of fear, intrepidation, 1500 01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:10,000 Speaker 7: particularly our friends in Israel. You know, to their north 1501 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,400 Speaker 7: they're not just dealing and worried about Iran and what 1502 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:16,200 Speaker 7: they might lob over their way. But to their north, 1503 01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:19,880 Speaker 7: you know they're dealing now with Heboalah, and of course 1504 01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:23,680 Speaker 7: to what would be West Hamas not so much a 1505 01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:26,160 Speaker 7: threat anymore, but Hesbela very much. So they're in Lebanon. 1506 01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:29,599 Speaker 7: And so just imagine sirens blaring at any given time 1507 01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:31,360 Speaker 7: of day. You know this is a time of year. 1508 01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,519 Speaker 7: Maybe you live somewhere where a tornado siren goes off. 1509 01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:38,920 Speaker 7: That's eerie enough, that's alarming enough. Those don't happen very often, 1510 01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,840 Speaker 7: but when they do makes people nervous. Imagine that being 1511 01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,879 Speaker 7: kind of a regular way of life. And now imagine 1512 01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:48,160 Speaker 7: being elderly and that happening just at any time of 1513 01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,600 Speaker 7: day or night, maybe several times a week, getting downstairs 1514 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,599 Speaker 7: feels impossible, and after that you're in a bomb shelter 1515 01:18:54,760 --> 01:19:00,240 Speaker 7: for hours, even days maybe sometimes. Look Israel still very 1516 01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:03,439 Speaker 7: much as our ally and innocent folks, they're still very 1517 01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:07,200 Speaker 7: much under attack. And so the International Fellowship of Christians 1518 01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:09,240 Speaker 7: and Jews just wants to remind you of that. 1519 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:11,200 Speaker 2: We're grateful for the work they do. 1520 01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,479 Speaker 7: We are proud partners of theirs, and they always ask 1521 01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:16,640 Speaker 7: for your prayers of support, and if you're interested in 1522 01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:20,519 Speaker 7: getting engaged in prayerful consideration and help for the work 1523 01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:24,400 Speaker 7: that they do, which is just it's life sustaining stuff. 1524 01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:25,959 Speaker 2: It's not about politics. 1525 01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:28,599 Speaker 7: It's about emergency supplies to the most vulnerable and life 1526 01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,760 Speaker 7: saving aid and helping supply these shelters and particularly with 1527 01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:35,599 Speaker 7: older folks and vulnerable kids.

It certainly has biblical history, for sure, 1536 01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:56,200 Speaker 7: if you know your biblical history. 1537 01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,519 Speaker 2: So wherever you sit on that, do know that the. 1538 01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:03,120 Speaker 7: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists to help the 1539 01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,519 Speaker 7: people on the ground there, and you can go to 1540 01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,919 Speaker 7: SUPPORTIFCJ dot org to learn more about that great organization. 1541 01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:16,280 Speaker 7: Support IFCJ dot org.

That's what they're trying to convey. But 1546 01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:33,280 Speaker 7: Stephen Miller, the White House, the Pentagon trying to convey, 1547 01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 7: Oh no, he's not listen. 1548 01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:39,920 Speaker 24: The leadership class of this evil regime has been wiped out. 1549 01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:44,160 Speaker 24: Nobody has seen the Iotola Junior. Nobody has seen proof 1550 01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:46,800 Speaker 24: of life. He didn't show his face on a TV camera. 1551 01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 24: All we have is a statement that is purported to 1552 01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:51,800 Speaker 24: belong to him, as a symbol and a signal of 1553 01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:55,240 Speaker 24: how degraded this regime is. And again we're talking about 1554 01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:57,960 Speaker 24: how in a matter of days, a regime that has 1555 01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:01,560 Speaker 24: terrorized and menaced the world, that has used missiles to 1556 01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,840 Speaker 24: blackmail the world has been degraded and has been set 1557 01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:08,960 Speaker 24: back to a degree the few thought possible.

There is a lot to be concerned about. 1670 01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:54,519 Speaker 7: There's a lot that stresses us out, and maybe our 1671 01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,400 Speaker 7: own finances are not in order.

So thank you, 1676 01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:15,400 Speaker 7: because we have to talk about what's also real and 1677 01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:16,599 Speaker 7: what's going on in this country. 1678 01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:17,000 Speaker 10: Right now. 1679 01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:22,320 Speaker 2: We are at war with Islam. We just are. 1680 01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:24,400 Speaker 7: And anyone that would submit to you that we're not 1681 01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:26,600 Speaker 7: is not paying attention to what Islam is. 1682 01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:28,920 Speaker 2: It is very real. 1683 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,080 Speaker 7: It is a very real threat. We are seeing it 1684 01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:34,639 Speaker 7: in Iran. We've seen it in Iran for forty seven years. 1685 01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:36,479 Speaker 2: It is political. 1686 01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:40,160 Speaker 7: Islam is you will convert or you will be killed. 1687 01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:41,679 Speaker 7: That is their stated goal and mission. 1688 01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:42,080 Speaker 2: That's it. 1689 01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:49,160 Speaker 7: And yesterday two things just happened at once. First, Israel 1690 01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:52,839 Speaker 7: and the United States have obliterated Iran's top terrorist leaders 1691 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:54,719 Speaker 7: and their nuclear program. 1692 01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:56,400 Speaker 2: This is a regime that. 1693 01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:02,280 Speaker 7: Funds HESBLA and Hamas and ISIS proxies. Crumbling jihadists are 1694 01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:04,520 Speaker 7: losing badly on the battlefield. 1695 01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 2: That's true. 1696 01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:09,760 Speaker 7: Second, in New York City, we have a mayor that 1697 01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:15,240 Speaker 7: responded to an isis inspired bombing attempt outside his own 1698 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:22,040 Speaker 7: home by actually talking about Islamophobia being the problem. Instead 1699 01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:27,519 Speaker 7: of condemning the attackers, he was warning of Islamophobia and 1700 01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:32,040 Speaker 7: that combination, to be frank the decimation of jihadists by 1701 01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:35,799 Speaker 7: our American forces overseas, and a mayor of the largest 1702 01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:40,280 Speaker 7: city in the country talking about islamaphobia. That combination is 1703 01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:43,719 Speaker 7: gasoline on a fire that's been burning, frankly for fourteen 1704 01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:50,200 Speaker 7: hundred years. Islam produces a wildly disproportionate share of global 1705 01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:58,640 Speaker 7: terrorists because It's foundational texts and Mohammad's example explicitly authorized 1706 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:01,640 Speaker 7: violent jihad. If you don't know that, look it up 1707 01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:07,639 Speaker 7: and read about it. The Qoran commands military jihad against 1708 01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,840 Speaker 7: non Muslims until Islam dominates. 1709 01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:18,000 Speaker 2: Read it for yourself. If you don't believe me. Mohammed 1710 01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:19,640 Speaker 2: is the perfect. 1711 01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:23,240 Speaker 7: Model in their view, a warrior who led dozens of battles, 1712 01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:30,160 Speaker 7: conquered tribes, and built an empire by force, versus Christianity, 1713 01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:38,519 Speaker 7: which underwent Reformation and Enlightenment church state separation. We know 1714 01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:40,439 Speaker 7: we go to great pains to do that in this 1715 01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:45,200 Speaker 7: country in error, really the foundation of the Christian foundational 1716 01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:48,320 Speaker 7: principles of this country. The Left has been trying to 1717 01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:51,880 Speaker 7: extract the Christian faith from the founding of this country forever. 1718 01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:53,920 Speaker 4: It is. 1719 01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:55,040 Speaker 2: It's like a. 1720 01:29:56,880 --> 01:29:59,599 Speaker 7: It's its own religion of the left to make sure 1721 01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:04,000 Speaker 7: p of faith Christians never ever, ever are allowed in 1722 01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:06,599 Speaker 7: the public square. I mean, they have dried their level 1723 01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:09,200 Speaker 7: best to make sure the Ten Commandments never appear anywhere 1724 01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:09,759 Speaker 7: on any. 1725 01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:11,599 Speaker 2: Wall or courthouse lawn. 1726 01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:21,439 Speaker 7: So the separation of state from Christianity here in the 1727 01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:24,719 Speaker 7: United States, sadly, that's happened. 1728 01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:27,160 Speaker 2: Islam, that doesn't happen. 1729 01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:31,599 Speaker 7: It's only getting hotter and more intense, and its followers 1730 01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:35,839 Speaker 7: are more fervent and committed than ever before. Eighteenth century 1731 01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:41,280 Speaker 7: wa hobbyism revived the extreme interpretations. Gulf oil money has 1732 01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:46,479 Speaker 7: spread that ideology worldwide since the seventies, and the result 1733 01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:50,240 Speaker 7: we now have four Islamist groups alone that have caused 1734 01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:54,040 Speaker 7: fifty six percent of terrorism deaths in recent years worldwide. 1735 01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:57,639 Speaker 7: When jihadists start to lose, as they are right now 1736 01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:05,559 Speaker 7: in Iran, Western leaders have a couple of choices. They 1737 01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,120 Speaker 7: can show strength or they can signal weakness. 1738 01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:09,240 Speaker 2: And sympathy at. 1739 01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:11,840 Speaker 7: Home, and then what happens will attacks start to spike. 1740 01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:14,880 Speaker 7: And that's what we're seeing this week in my view, 1741 01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:19,280 Speaker 7: when you have people like the Mayor of New York 1742 01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:24,120 Speaker 7: giving quarter and explaining it's a lot like Reverend Jeremiah 1743 01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:25,920 Speaker 7: right Barack Obama, Remember. 1744 01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:28,920 Speaker 2: America's chickens are coming home to roost. 1745 01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:33,439 Speaker 7: It's that Obama Jeremiah right now, Mayor of New York 1746 01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:39,160 Speaker 7: thinking we have Islamism coming, we should understand it, and 1747 01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:43,080 Speaker 7: we should be apologetic. It puts us on a weak footing. 1748 01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:47,280 Speaker 7: It projects weakness, and it emboldens a movement known as 1749 01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:50,559 Speaker 7: political Islam that wants to wipe you and me out. 1750 01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:56,240 Speaker 7: Americans do not need lectures right now about the sensitivity 1751 01:31:57,040 --> 01:32:01,320 Speaker 7: toward Islam. While bombs are literally being thrown and people 1752 01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,080 Speaker 7: are trying to drive into synagogues and people are opening 1753 01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:05,759 Speaker 7: fire at. 1754 01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:08,200 Speaker 2: Old Dominion in the name of Islam. 1755 01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:12,680 Speaker 7: We need leaders right now who identify the threat and 1756 01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:16,800 Speaker 7: clearly stop it. And Donald Trump, he's messaging strength. He's 1757 01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:19,760 Speaker 7: not saying America's chickens are coming home to rooster. We 1758 01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:22,400 Speaker 7: really need to stop and consider Islamism. He says, these 1759 01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:26,280 Speaker 7: people are wild eyed terrorists for forty seven years, presidents 1760 01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:28,599 Speaker 7: have talked about eliminating I'm going to be the man 1761 01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:30,200 Speaker 7: to saddle up and do it. 1762 01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:32,680 Speaker 2: Someone had to. 1763 01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,320 Speaker 7: And despite the lies of many, even on our side, 1764 01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:40,000 Speaker 7: who act like if we just ignore Iran and we 1765 01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:46,240 Speaker 7: ignore Islamism, it won't do us any harm. How naive 1766 01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:50,800 Speaker 7: can you get? And it makes one wonder, It really 1767 01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:55,479 Speaker 7: makes one wonder. For all the talk about Israel and 1768 01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,840 Speaker 7: Israel funding this or you know, talk show hosts like 1769 01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:01,719 Speaker 7: me who would even bring this upper clearly being bought 1770 01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:05,160 Speaker 7: off by someone who exactly is buying off someone who 1771 01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:07,960 Speaker 7: refuses to talk about radical Islam the way I just did. 1772 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,560 Speaker 7: Why would you not in solidarity again, I say, no, 1773 01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:15,040 Speaker 7: matter what you think of Israel, why in God's name 1774 01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:18,840 Speaker 7: would you not clearly define and identify what Islam is 1775 01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:21,479 Speaker 7: and the harm it means for all of us. Set 1776 01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:29,400 Speaker 7: Jews aside, set Israel aside, You and me, brothers and sisters, Christians, secularists, atheists. 1777 01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:30,439 Speaker 2: It didn't matter. 1778 01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:37,400 Speaker 7: If Western values matter to you, set aside your spiritual 1779 01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:41,320 Speaker 7: beliefs or lack of spiritual beliefs. If Western values matter 1780 01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:44,439 Speaker 7: to you, understand Islam is coming for you. Unless you 1781 01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:48,000 Speaker 7: embrace them. We had a wild eyed, lunatic, angry lady 1782 01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:50,599 Speaker 7: in a turban screaming at our president as a member 1783 01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:54,400 Speaker 7: of Congress during the State of the Union. Now we've 1784 01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:57,640 Speaker 7: got the largest city in the country governed by a 1785 01:33:57,680 --> 01:33:59,800 Speaker 7: guy who's on a prayer rug and showing on video 1786 01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:01,640 Speaker 7: now he's kneeling the Mecca. 1787 01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:05,040 Speaker 2: Or whatever the hell it is.

I want it defeated and I don't 1790 01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:13,639 Speaker 7: want it allowed. 1791 01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:15,280 Speaker 2: That's it. 1792 01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:17,519 Speaker 7: You want to talk about separation of church and state, 1793 01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:23,560 Speaker 7: they ain't separating anything. Sharia law governs them. That's what 1794 01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,400 Speaker 7: they want is they're governing principle for themselves and all 1795 01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:27,559 Speaker 7: of us as well. 1796 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:29,000 Speaker 2: So we have a decision. 1797 01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:30,880 Speaker 7: Are we going to take the war to them or 1798 01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,120 Speaker 7: are we going to sit around and apologize for ourselves 1799 01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:34,240 Speaker 7: and they bring the war to us. 1800 01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:35,080 Speaker 2: It's up to you. 1801 01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:39,960 Speaker 7: I know where I stand.

He understands that 1858 01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:18,320 Speaker 11: that is part of the landscape when you're in a 1859 01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:21,760 Speaker 11: war or as hell. We didn't want it, but I'm 1860 01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:22,760 Speaker 11: an older guy, Chris. 1861 01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:23,400 Speaker 10: I was in. 1862 01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:27,639 Speaker 11: College when they took the hostages, and I remember those 1863 01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:32,040 Speaker 11: horrible images of them being blindfolded every night and being 1864 01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:35,320 Speaker 11: paraded out. And then a few years later the two 1865 01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:38,960 Speaker 11: hundred and forty one Marines killed in their barracks, and 1866 01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:43,640 Speaker 11: then all the acts of terror through proxy groups that 1867 01:37:43,760 --> 01:37:47,640 Speaker 11: they have propagated throughout almost a half a century. And 1868 01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:50,960 Speaker 11: we tolerated it. We tolerated it, we tolerated, and I 1869 01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:53,280 Speaker 11: think we've learned that being reasonable with. 1870 01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:54,639 Speaker 10: Them wasn't going to work. 1871 01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:59,759 Speaker 11: This president had the fortitude to take the action he needs. 1872 01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:02,840 Speaker 11: And again, as I said at the outset, he's smart 1873 01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:06,400 Speaker 11: enough to play the communications war. I was a little kid, 1874 01:38:06,600 --> 01:38:09,360 Speaker 11: but I remember the Vietnam War and how the media 1875 01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:10,479 Speaker 11: cost us that war. 1876 01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:12,000 Speaker 10: And he's not going to let it happen. 1877 01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:14,439 Speaker 15: So where's a horrible thing. 1878 01:38:15,240 --> 01:38:17,559 Speaker 11: It's very very As a Christian, I hate to see 1879 01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:22,920 Speaker 11: anybody killed, but unfortunately there's evil in the world and 1880 01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:24,560 Speaker 11: sometimes you have to confront it. 1881 01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:28,639 Speaker 2: Period end the story, beautifully, said Mark. I can't say 1882 01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:30,080 Speaker 2: it any better than that. God bless you. 1883 01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:33,120 Speaker 7: Thanks for the great phone call today on Open Line 1884 01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:36,839 Speaker 7: Friday in Carlisle.

Welcome in an open Line Friday. 1887 01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:45,559 Speaker 15: Hi, good morning, Chris. I always enjoy listening to your show, 1888 01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:48,600 Speaker 15: and this is my first time calling you, and I 1889 01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:51,200 Speaker 15: felt the need to pick up the phone and call you. 1890 01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:55,120 Speaker 15: I served on a Trident submarine under President Reagan, and 1891 01:38:55,400 --> 01:38:59,000 Speaker 15: I remember the barracks getting bombed and how we responded. 1892 01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:04,760 Speaker 15: I'm very concerned about where our country is heading. I'm 1893 01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:10,759 Speaker 15: concerned about sharia law taking over and I'm concerned about 1894 01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:14,560 Speaker 15: our elections, but I'm most concerned about the politicians that 1895 01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:18,439 Speaker 15: we elect that are not doing anything about it. And 1896 01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:22,519 Speaker 15: they say, well, if you don't like it, vote them out. Well, 1897 01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:24,240 Speaker 15: how are we supposed to vote them out when the 1898 01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:29,040 Speaker 15: elections are rigged or being stolen? Help me understand this? 1899 01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:32,840 Speaker 15: What is going on? And when did all this change? 1900 01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:38,160 Speaker 7: Thank you well, thank you Carlisle for your service to 1901 01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:41,519 Speaker 7: the country. It's a big question when it all started. 1902 01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:44,559 Speaker 7: But I will say this, in terms of elections being 1903 01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:49,400 Speaker 7: rigged from Fulton County to Maricopa County in Arizona, Donald 1904 01:39:49,439 --> 01:39:52,680 Speaker 7: Trump is taking that issue head on, and I think 1905 01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:56,000 Speaker 7: that the twenty twenty four elections showed us how to battle. 1906 01:39:57,479 --> 01:40:01,120 Speaker 2: I think playing their game is how it's done. 1907 01:40:01,240 --> 01:40:02,800 Speaker 7: I'm sorry to say I don't like it, but I 1908 01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:06,720 Speaker 7: think ballot harvesting we can win. We did win, and 1909 01:40:06,800 --> 01:40:09,240 Speaker 7: we shouldn't forget. We're not that far removed from a 1910 01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:14,360 Speaker 7: devastating victory. If we if we're organized and we have 1911 01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:17,599 Speaker 7: enthusiasm and show momentum to your point about elected leaders, 1912 01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:21,280 Speaker 7: elected Republicans not doing their jobs to enthuse people, that 1913 01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:25,920 Speaker 7: is a problem. We have the winning message. 1914 01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:29,439 Speaker 2: We can, and we did just a little while ago, 1915 01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:31,880 Speaker 2: a little over a year ago, institute a winning game 1916 01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:33,519 Speaker 2: plan for victory. It can be done again. 1917 01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:37,600 Speaker 7: But yes, Republicans have to do their part or Republicans 1918 01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:40,560 Speaker 7: and those who voted for them sit it out. Democrats 1919 01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:43,200 Speaker 7: their loons, they'll vote for anybody. They're straight up jihadists. 1920 01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:45,519 Speaker 2: They want to win. I'll see you Monday. God bless 1921 01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:46,479 Speaker 2: you have a great weekend. 1922 01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:49,400 Speaker 7: So that's a wrap for another Christagall Show podcast.
