1
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,080

Speaker 3: Of course, that Kevin Show is going to be great.

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 4: The only thing that could be greater, of course, would

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 4: be that Donald Show, but we don't have that.

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: So we have That Kevin Show featuring the music of

10

Speaker 6: On That Kevin Show.

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: And now from the Connors and Sullivan Broadcast Studios. A

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: man who is not what he wants to be, but

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: is way grateful that is not who he used to be.

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 5: Here all right.

23
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: Welcome in, Kevin mccallough. Glad to have you with us.

24
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: It is a well, it's a sunny day in New York,

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: though it's full. We were hoping for the fifties. You know,

26
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: it's in the low thirties. It's just one of those

27
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: weird spring days where you think it's going to be

28
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: warm and it doesn't look anything like it. But having

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: said that, it's warm in my heart knowing that you're

30
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: here and that we can help think through the biggest

31
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: stories and issues of the day together for the next

32
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: couple of hours. We call it that Kevin Show. That

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: Kevinshow dot com is where you go to get the podcast,

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: the everything that I talk about. And I'm very excited

35
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: about today's column, by the way, and it's it's timely,

36
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: but it's not necessarily newsy. Sometimes I write about other

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: things that pop into my mind, and I have a

38
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: lot of things that pop into my mind and have

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: in recent days. There are stories that entertain, and then

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: there are stories that just confront you with all kinds

41
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: of conviction and truth. And the life of Saint Patrick

42
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: does not to me belong in the shallow end of

43
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: cultural celebration. I know today there's going to be green

44
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: beer and plastic hats and parades that forget all the point,

45
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: but his life is something far more unsettling, because Saint

46
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: Patrick didn't just survive evil, he went back to it.

47
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: At sixteen, he was stolen from his home, ripped from

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: his family, dragged across the sea, forced into slavery in

49
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: a land that was not his own. He was not Irish.

50
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: Ireland was not then the land of saints and scholars.

51
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: It was wild and tribal and dangerous. And he spent

52
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: years alone, cold, hungry, forgotten, tending sheep on hills that

53
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: did not care if he lived or died. And yet

54
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: it was there that something happened, not comfort, not rescue. Faith.

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: In his own words, Patrick writes that he began to

56
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: pray constantly, dozens, even hundreds of times a day, not

57
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: because he was religious, but because he was desperate. And

58
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: in that desperation he discovered something that many of us,

59
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: with all our conveniences and comforts, rarely ever grasp, dependence

60
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: not on strength, not on strategy, not on self, but

61
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: dependence on Christ. Years later, he would pin what has

62
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: become one of the most enduring declarations of Christian devotion.

63
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ

64
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ

65
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: on my left. It was not poetry pen for Instagram

66
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: it was the language of survival. Eventually, Patrick escaped, against

67
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: all odds, he made at home. The nightmare was over,

68
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: the trauma behind him. The door to a normal life, safe, familiar,

69
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: deserved was wide open. And this is where the story

70
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: totally stops making sense, because instead of moving on, he

71
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: turned around. He chose to go back back to the

72
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: place of his pain, back to the people who enslaved him,

73
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: back to the land that had taken everything from him.

74
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: Why because the same Christ who met him in the

75
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: valley was now calling him to walk back into the

76
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: same valley. That's the part of the story we don't

77
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: celebrate enough because it demands something of us. We live

78
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: in a culture obsessed with escape. Get out, move on,

79
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: cut ties, protect your peace, build your brand, avoid the

80
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: hard places and even the harder people. But Patrick did

81
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: the opposite. He walked toward them, not with revenge in

82
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: his heart, but was redemption on his lips. He returned

83
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: not as a victim, but as a witness. And in

84
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: doing so, he didn't just change his own story, he

85
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: changed an entire nation's trajectory. Ireland would never be the same.

86
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Here's the uncomfortable truth. Most of us want comfort of

87
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: faith without the cost of obedience. We love the idea

88
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: of Christ before me when it means guidance and blessing

89
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: and provision. But what happens when Christ before Me leads

90
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: us somewhere We would never choose on our own when

91
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: I need a perspective bigger than my pain. That's not

92
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: safe faith, that's dangerous faith, the kind that transforms not

93
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: just individuals, but whole cultures. We don't know what conversations

94
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: Patrick had when he first stepped back into Iris, onto

95
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: Irish soil. We don't know what memories came flooding back,

96
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: what fears tried to take hold, what doubts whispered in

97
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: the quiet, But we know this he didn't turn back again.

98
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: He stayed, He preached, he loved, he forgave, and slowly, steady, impossibly,

99
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: hearts began to change. This Saint Patrick's day, the world

100
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: will celebrate with noise. But Patrick's life was built in silence,

101
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: on lonely hillsides, in whispered prayers, in the unseen decisions

102
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: of obedience that no one applauded until everyone did. The

103
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: question his life leaves us with is not whether we'll

104
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: wear green or orange. It's whether We'll walk where Christ leads,

105
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: even when it costs us, even when it takes us

106
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: back into places we swore we'd never go back to,

107
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: even when forgiveness feels impossible and obedience feels unreasonable. Because

108
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: the same Christ who stands before us is the one

109
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: who stands within us. And if Patrick's life proves anything,

110
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: it proves this. You don't need perfect circumstances to change

111
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: the world. If you're waiting on them, you'll never get them.

112
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: They will never come, It will never be the perfect time.

113
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: Perfect circumstances are a carot that is chased. They are

114
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: an imagination that does not come true. They don't exist

115
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: in our timeline, they don't exist in history's timeline. And

116
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: Patrick's life proved that you don't need them to change

117
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: the world. You need a surrendered heart Christ before me.

118
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: It's not just a phrase. It's a direction, and for

119
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: those who are willing to follow it, it leads you

120
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: to a life that echoes far beyond a single day

121
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: in the month of March. Kevin McCullough, if you would

122
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: like to know more about that Christ, send me an

123
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: email that Kevin Show at gmail dot com. If we

124
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: don't do anything else, at this microphone. If we never

125
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: accomplish the passing of one piece of legislation, if we don't,

126
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: if we don't do anything else here, I'm okay with that.

127
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: I want you to know the Christ that goes before

128
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: and the Christ who comes behind, the Christ who is

129
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: in me, the Christ who is under the steps that

130
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: I take. He's beneath me, he's above me. He's on

131
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: my right and my left. I want you to know

132
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: him too. That Kevin Show at gmail dot com. If

Speaker 1: stay with us, a very full eye straight here.

136
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 7: He is from New York, That Kevin Kevin McCulla.

137
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: All right, Kevin mccallough, Glad to have you with us.

138
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: It's the Tuesday edition of How Do We Live? And

139
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: that Kevin Show. Everything is at that kevinshow dot com,

140
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: including the podcast, my daily column at town Hall, the

141
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: TV show, whatever you want, it's all there. We don't

142
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: put it behind anything that you have to pay for

143
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: because we just want you to have access to it

144
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: and we want it to impact your life. And we

145
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: ask this question each day, how do we live? How

146
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: do we live in a culture that hates God? Actually,

147
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: that may be an overstatement. They may manipulate God. They

148
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: may say that the God of their universe, their truth,

149
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: is someone that they can have, and he's a happy person,

150
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: and they put him in his pocket and wherever they

151
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: go they want a little happy God stuff, they take

152
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: him out. But then you attach God, the concept of

153
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: God to the Bible, and that's where the real problem is,

154
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: because the Bible tells us what God's heart is and

155
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: where it's at. So how do we live in a

156
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: culture that despises those two things and then kind of

157
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: looks at us as like the cross eyed cousin because

158
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: we claim an allegiance to those things. Does that have

159
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: any impact on who we're supposed to be? I would

160
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: argue that scripture says no. Here to discuss a lot

161
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: of this with us this week is one of our

162
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: very special friends, Pastor Alan Jackson. He's heard nationwide on

163
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: the Salem Radio Network and he's heard a lot of

164
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: the same markets that I'm heard on. You may get

165
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: me on the same station, you may get me on

166
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: the news talk station, and he would be on the

167
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: teaching station. But he's also on the TBN Network Television

168
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: every night with Alan Jackson Now, and he's also got

169
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: a podcast, Culture and Christianity. But he's written this new book,

170
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: Lead with Faith, just out a few days ago, Using

171
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: your influence for God's Purposes. Allen, For the next four

172
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: days counting today, we're going to break down this idea

173
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: kind of concept by concept. What does leading with Faith

174
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: look like? What are we talking about today?

175
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 8: Well, I think the next step in this progression of

176
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 8: expanding our influence is we kind of have to recognize

177
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 8: the elephant in the room. Most of us feel like

178
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 8: we're not qualified to lead. Like the people that do

179
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 8: feel qualified make me a little anxious.

180
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: Because the chat is if the guy's always raising his hand,

181
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: pick pick me, maybe not the right mindset towards it.

182
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 8: I think you're right, but there's some things that take

183
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 8: root in our heart and I don't think they're accurate.

184
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 8: And we all have to wrestle with these. You know,

185
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 8: you know I don't have the right resources, or I

186
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 8: don't have enough influence, or.

187
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 4: I don't have the gifts.

188
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 8: If I had the gifts that I know somebody else has,

189
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 8: it'd be easier for me. Or I've got too much

190
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 8: baggage in my life.

191
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 3: And you know, all those things are true.

192
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 8: We don't have all the things that we would need

193
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 8: to impact our world, but the one we worship and

194
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 8: the one we serve and the one whom we represent.

195
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 8: Does you know Mike Huckaby is a friend of mine.

196
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 8: And I knew Mike Huckabee when he had a television

197
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 8: show and he was an ex governor. And all of

198
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 8: a sudden, the President of the United States tapped him

199
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 8: and said, I want you to be an ambassador for

200
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 8: the United States to the nation of Israel. And Mike's

201
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 8: life changed, his status changed, his authority changed, his role

202
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 8: in the world changed. Well, the creator of Heaven and

203
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 8: Earth tapped every one of us and said, I want

204
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 8: you to be an ambassador for my kingdom and your generation.

205
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 8: So now it wasn't about Mike's resources or Mike's education.

206
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 8: He was an ambassador for the United States of America. Well,

207
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 8: we're ambassadors for the Kingdom of Almighty God. So it

208
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 8: isn't about my resources or my education or even my failures.

209
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 8: And I have some of those in my life, and

210
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 8: we've got to wrestle it. We can't let the enemy

211
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 8: sideline us because of the things we're not because the

212
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 8: invitation that's been given to us is by someone far

213
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 8: more powerful than the advassary that is trying to discourage us.

214
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that that's an easy thing to miss,

215
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: especially if we're not getting like good teaching on a

216
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: regular basis, and a reminder if somebody has been wrestling

217
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: with that. What does scripture tell us about how we

218
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: should view ourselves in light of that?

219
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 8: Well, there's a verse that's a favorite of mine. It's

220
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 8: in Hebrews chapter twelve. And we've just come out of

221
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 8: the Hebrews eleven is the kind of the Hall of Fame.

222
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 8: It's all these men and women and the remarkable exploits

223
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 8: of the Kingdom of God. And we get to Hebrews

224
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 8: chapter twelve. It says, now let us run with perseverance

225
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 8: the race marked on for us. But the second verse

226
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 8: says that God is the author and the finisher of

227
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 8: our faith. And then that's helpful to me because he's

228
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 8: the initiator. He knew me when I was being knit

229
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 8: together in my mother's womb. He's aware of all of

230
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 8: my inatdequisies, in shortcomings, but he's the of the story

231
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 8: and when you write a book, you have the phrase

232
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 8: is poetic license. I can keep writing the ending till

233
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 8: I get it the way I like it. And so

234
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 8: the reality is I take some detours and make some

235
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 8: knuckleheaded decisions. But God's the finisher of my story. And

236
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 8: because of the redemptive power of the Cross and what

237
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 8: Jesus has done for us, I have been delivered. I've

238
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 8: been forgiven. I have been made a totally new creation.

239
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 8: And that's not an excuse for sloppy living, but it

240
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 8: means I'm not anchored to the disappointments and the brokenness

241
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 8: of my life. So if the enemy is reminding you

242
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 8: of your shortcomings or the lack of your education, or

243
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 8: whatever he's accusing you with, we need to be more

244
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 8: aware that God's the finisher of my story. And if

245
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 8: God puts an invitation before me, He'll be giving me

246
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 8: everything I need to accomplish. It won't mean it to

247
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 8: be easy, right, God said Samuel, denying David to be king,

248
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 8: But he didn't remove Saul from the throne, which meant

249
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 8: David had several years of some really difficult things to overcome.

250
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 8: I mean, he told Abraham he had to leave home

251
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 8: to find his purposes for his life. But Abraham was

252
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 8: decades getting across the finish line on what God had

253
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 8: for him. And so don't imagine that leading with your

254
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 8: faith and serving the Lord's going to be easy. In fact,

255
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 8: if it's not easy.

256
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: You're probably on the right track.

257
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 8: But the author of your faith, the initiator of that invitation,

258
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 8: is also the completer. And that is such a powerful,

259
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 8: powerful message for all of us to remember.

260
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: It seems to me, Pastor that that this aspect of

261
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: what we're talking about leading with faith, and you can

262
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: read the entire book, friends, Lead with faith using your

263
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: influence for God's purposes. It's out now, came out on

264
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: March shape. It seems to me that it doesn't take

265
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: a lot to go too far in my own confidence

266
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: and skills and thoughts that I'm good and I'm kind

267
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: of helping God out with his or to slide off

268
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: the other way and feel like it's all too enormous

269
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: for me. Staying on alignment and staying in proper humility

270
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: and gratitude, but staying hungry and staying active and staying

271
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, motivated, it seems that the key to it.

272
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: So it doesn't become pride, and it doesn't become you know,

273
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: this intimidation is the key to it is aligning myself

274
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: with God's purpose and the need for that has to

275
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: come from a relationship with Him. The I don't know

276
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: if I'm on the target, if I keep taking my

277
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: eyes off of the target, you understand what I'm saying.

278
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: I think.

279
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 8: So there's a temptation, and I think it's particularly true

280
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 8: in men.

281
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: But I know women aren't immune.

282
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 8: But men come to me and they'll say to me,

283
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 8: you know, what book do I.

284
00:17:59,240 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: Need to read?

285
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 8: They want to master their faith like they have mastered

286
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 8: bass fishing.

287
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: Or tennis, and it's you.

288
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 4: Know, tell me what I need to know.

289
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 8: Give me the sixth Essential Truths or the Four Keys

290
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 8: or the book. And really what we're talking about, I

291
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 8: think is more of a life commitment that emerges from

292
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 8: a desire to honor God. And that is an ever

293
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 8: changing emerging because difference. It's like it's a marriage, or

294
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 8: it's parenting, or I like gardening as an example, you know,

295
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 8: it's a biblical example and First Corinthians, Paul talks about that.

296
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 8: He said, I planted a seed.

297
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 3: And Apolus watered it.

298
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 8: My dad was a veterinarian, so I grew up in

299
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 8: kind of a rural setting and we would have gardens

300
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 8: and the beginning of the year springtime, you have to

301
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 8: break up the ground and get the ground ready to

302
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 8: receive the seeds, and that's a skill set that goes

303
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 8: without a certain kind of effort. Then you monitor that

304
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 8: product through the growing season. Then when it's harvest time,

305
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 8: that's a whole different kind of skill set and workload.

306
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 8: You can't do the same thing every day and think

307
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 8: you're going to have a healthy crop. And Christians, I think,

308
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 8: you know, we're looking for a way to fix it.

309
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 8: So I don't have to think about it anymore. I

310
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 8: don't have to really pay any attention to it. I

311
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 8: just want to put it on autopilot. And an important

312
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 8: step in this is being willing to say to the Lord,

313
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 8: I want to know you today. You know, my moods

314
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 8: are different every day. Pray for the people that work

315
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 8: with me because they have to adapt to.

316
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: How I am today.

317
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 8: And as much as I try to be consistent, I

318
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 8: know I'm not the same every day. And I want

319
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 8: to get to know the Lord at different times, different seasons,

320
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 8: different assignments, and that means I constantly get.

321
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: To learn and change and emerge.

322
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 8: And I'm not perfect and I'm always learning. I'm like

323
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 8: the little kid that's trying to learn to walk. I

324
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 8: fall down a lot and I have to get back up.

325
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 8: But I love the journey. And that's what I want

326
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 8: to invite your listeners to is, let's decide to go

327
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 8: serve the Lord with joy and excitement and enthusiasm.

328
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: You won't be disappointed. No, I will attest that investing

329
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: in that relationship never has a downside. It's almost like

330
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: a marriage. If you invest in your marriage, you're seldom

331
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: going to have a downside, But if you invest in

332
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: your relationship with Jesus, You'll never have a downside. Pastor

333
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,560

Speaker 1: your influence for God's purposes. And tomorrow we will take

336
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: up just another kind of leg to the table of

337
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: all of this as we are going through our week.

338
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: But Pastor Allen, thank you for being here and we'll

340
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: from Times Square. I don't go anywhere.

341
00:20:48,240 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 4: Let's stick around for more of that. Kevin. Next here

342
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 4: he is from New York. That Kevin, Kevin McCullough, John,

343
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: can it be?

344
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 9: She prays that God helped her to give them at

345
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 9: least one more day of food.

346
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 4: So it's a daily prayer.

347
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, friends, but when I hear

348
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: that little baby in the backdrop just doing the little coops,

349
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: it's like, it's so uh, it's it's so endearing, it's

350
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: so charming. And then and then it hits you that

351
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: an hell is talking about a mother who may not

352
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: be able to feed that baby today, and she's praying

353
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: for one more day's worth of food. That's what we're

354
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: trying to end in the current campaign that we're doing

355
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: with Food for the Poor. Danny Petito is back with

356
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough and we are talking about the opportunity to

357
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: feed that child or one just like it, who has

358
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: food and security for a gift of only seventy five

359
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: dollars for the entire year two meals a day. It's

360
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: more than seven hundred and seventy meals something like that

361
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: for the coming year, and being able to do so

362
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: so economically. I don't know if you've done the math

363
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: on that, but that's an incredibly inexpensive meal, and yet

364
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: it'll be everything that that child needs to be healthy.

365
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Patino is back with us. Danny, I hear that,

366
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: and I hear the baby, and it's like, you know,

367
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: there's just a dad part of me that just can't

368
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: get away from you know, how can we let something

369
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: so innocent, someone so little, go hungry. It's just it's inconceivable.

370
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 10: I'm a dad of two myself. One is turning eight

371
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 10: coming weeks, and the little one it's three, and she's

372
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 10: just as fast as the eight year old. And I

373
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 10: want to take you to the perspective of Beatrice that

374
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 10: we just heard.

375
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: There.

376
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 10: There's prayers for health, there's prayers for safety, there's prayers

377
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 10: for prosperity, and then there are prayers that you just

378
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 10: heard there that just it breaks your heart because that's

379
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 10: a prayer from one more day of food, and that

380
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 10: becomes the entire horizon. That's their reality right now. I

381
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 10: can't pray for anything else than just one more meal,

382
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 10: one more meal to come in any way possible, from

383
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 10: a neighbor, from a food center, from a pastor that

384
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 10: just comes to the door. And I'm here for you.

385
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 10: I've listened to your prayers. You are not alone. And

386
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 10: those are the moments that we love to have here

387
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 10: at Food for the Poor because it comes from the

388
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 10: generosity of your audience, and I followed that journey of

389
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 10: that gift right It comes in as a small donation

390
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 10: and it becomes a big, big change in these families' lives.

391
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 10: This is that one little push that some of these

392
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 10: families need to finally get back out of that cycle

393
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 10: of poverty and transform their lives for the better.

394
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 3: And if for the children, it's a whole new world.

395
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 10: They become children again, they get to focus on playing,

396
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 10: not necessarily having to stay indoors because the tummy aches

397
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 10: are just the body is not responding from malnutrition or

398
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 10: dirty water that usually happens in these communities that we serve,

399
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 10: the waters that just make them sick, even if they

400
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 10: try to boil it or they try to treat it.

401
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 10: And those are the changes that we're going on right now,

402
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 10: and that's through the generosity of your audience.

403
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: Eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three

404
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 1: is where you call to give your gift. We're talking

405
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: about children in the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere,

406
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: one of the poorest countries in the world, Haiti another

407
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: one of the poorest countries in the world, Guatemala, another

408
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: one of the poorest countries in the world, Honduras. We're

409
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: talking about true systemic poverty that these children and Danny

410
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: it's hard to it's hard to describe to someone who's

411
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: never been there to see it for themselves. But when

412
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: we think of the distended bellies, when we think of

413
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: the orange hair, when we think of the the the

414
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: kind of misshapen ways we've seen kids in some of

415
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: these places, there is a reason why the body has

416
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: done all of that. It's trying to protect itself from

417
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: the natural effects of malnutrition. And so this is this

418
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: is what happens. It begins in an essence, feeding on

419
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: itself over a period of time. And that's why we

420
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: need carbohydrates, we need proteins, we need all of the

421
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: little vitamins that come with that, and we need it

422
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: to be in a regular supply on a regular basis,

423
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: And that's how the body not only sustains, but when

424
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: you're talking about children, actually helps them grow and friends,

425
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: these are these are these are children coming from families

426
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: that do not make well, Danny, how much does the

427
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: average family make that Food for the Poor has help with.

428
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 10: We're talking about less than two dollars a day. We've

429
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 10: seen that as just it's not enough. It's not enough

430
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 10: to feed anyone on a daily basis, nor keep a home.

431
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 10: And most of these families that we spoke to, they

432
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 10: have to travel for work. It's not like they go

433
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 10: next door or they're going down right, So there's two

434
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 10: things that happen there. One of the parents is in

435
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 10: home most of the day because they have to go

436
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 10: out and work.

437
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 3: And the other one is the distance.

438
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 10: Some families we've spoken to they have to grab a bus,

439
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 10: get on another tuck tuck or the little taxis that

440
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 10: look like motorcycles, jump on another transportation and all those

441
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 10: cost There is cost involved one way and coming back.

442
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 10: So the finally, and if it rains, you can guess

443
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 10: there is no work and that equals to no money

444
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 10: on the no money in your pocket, no food on

445
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 10: the table. So that's why we heard Beatrice at the

446
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 10: beginning of the segment. Here we heard are just for

447
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 10: not praying for a miracle, but praying that ordinary comes about, right,

448
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 10: the normal for what we take for granted is their normal,

449
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 10: and that's why we're that's what we're fighting for the

450
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 10: basis of life, of what we're calling here food for

451
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 10: the poor on this day of hope with you. It's

452
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 10: it's the basics of life, which is food and clean water,

453
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 10: and that's all they're praying for right now. And that's

454
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 10: what you can step into the reality of these families

455
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 10: right now with your one time gift and it's a

456
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 10: world of change for these families.

00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're we're coming to the rescue as the best

470
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: that kevinshow dot com for everything. We don't put anything

471
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: behind a paywall because we want you to have access

472
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: to it. You know, I'm always tracking with the Campus

473
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: Reform Group weird stuff that's going on on the college campuses.

474
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: For lack of a better term, I don't know that

475
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: it gets much more strange than for students to be

476
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: chanting death to America on American university campuses. Here to

477
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: discuss is William Biagny, Campus Reform Assistant Editor. We have

478
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: reported a lot on Emily's reporting here, but William is

479
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: part of the group there as well. William explain this

480
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: how and where is this taking right?

481
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 6: Thank you so much for having me on today. It's

482
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 6: great to be here. So we got this really crazy

483
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 6: story today. So for about five decades now, Iran has

484
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 6: been chanting death to America, but we're seeing this crazy

485
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 6: phenomenon where these chants are now making their way to

486
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 6: college campuses in the United States of America, which is

487
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 6: it's surprising to see that our universities which have been

488
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 6: training students up in radical leftist ideology, well now we

489
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 6: have students that are siding with the super repressive Islamic.

490
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 3: Regime in Iran.

491
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 6: So we have this one example at Columbia University where

492
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 6: an anti Israel group linked to that university. It's not

493
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 6: one hundred percent affiliated with university, but it's linked to.

494
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 6: It was channing mark Barr i'mrica, which is Farsi for

495
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 6: death to America.

496
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 3: We also have students at.

497
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 6: Yale University that we're photographed doing a protest with signs

498
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 6: using similar slogans. So we're starting to see students at

499
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 6: American universities channing the very same things that our foreign

500
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 6: adversaries are also chanting.

501
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: I see this as more important than yelling fire in

502
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: a crowded theater. We talk about freedom of speech, but

503
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: death to America.

504
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: Right, So here's the thing.

505
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 6: Our universities are supposed to be institutions where ideas are

506
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 6: thrown back and forth in the pursuit of truth. They're

507
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 6: not supposed to be what they are now, which are

508
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 6: ideological echo chambers for the left to train students up

509
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 6: to hate America, hate what it was founded on, and

510
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 6: in addition, protest anything that President Trump does.

511
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: So they don't even look at it anymore.

512
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 6: It's just, oh, president Trump takes an action, Oh, let's

513
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 6: go protest it. They don't even realize the irony here,

514
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 6: which is that these students are protesting in support of

515
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 6: a regime that is famous for killing its own protesters,

516
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 6: that has slaughtered tens of thousands of them, and it

517
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 6: won't stop until we stand up and realize its stand

518
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 6: up and say, hey, our universities, you know you're not

519
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 6: going to teach our students to hate America, hate the

520
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 6: country that you were born in, raised in. We need

521
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 6: to see intellectual diversity return to higher education and students

522
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 6: need to be taught the reality of ze.

523
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to repeat my question. Are any of these

524
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: schools taking any action towards the groups that are perpetrating

525
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: this behavior?

526
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 6: You know, if they are, we will continue to monitor them,

527
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 6: monitor them at LUSHAP. They have as yet, it's it's

528
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 6: still up in the We're still seeing this situation ongoing.

529
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 6: The whole thing is ongoing, So if something does happen,

530
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 6: we will be the first report on it.

531
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: Well, I hope that at least those that are watching

532
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: or listening to me today, if you're an alumnus of

533
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: Columbia University, that you call the endowment department and tell

534
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: them you're not giving any more money to them, like,

535
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: don't I don't want money going to universities. The same

536
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: with Yale if there was an incident there, don't. I

537
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: don't want money going to universities that are going to

538
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: promote death to America. I'm sorry, I know that makes

539
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: me crazy and very elitist, but that's the way it

540
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: is now. Similarly, there are some groups that are protesting

541
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: the war in Iran, which doesn't seem to be quite

542
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: as harsh in my way of thinking as asking for

543
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: death to America. But what's going on at Arizona State University?

544
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 6: Right, So, we have socialist and pro Palestinian students at

545
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 6: Arizona State University, and they came out with a no

546
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 6: war in Iran protest, protesting President Trump's joint strikes with

547
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 6: Israel on the Kamani regime. But what was interesting about

548
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 6: this is that this protest was challenged by Irunnian students

549
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 6: who said that Iran lived under a Runians were living

550
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 6: under a dictatorship for over forty years, and that they

551
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 6: actually support international pressure on the regime responsible for widespread

552
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 6: human rights abuses. And so this does go back to

553
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 6: show that these students are not being taught the reality

554
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 6: of these regimes. And as we were mentioning earlier, they're

555
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 6: being told death to America. And these are the universities

556
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 6: that are in the United States here there, and we're

557
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 6: beginning to see all of these leftist rallying cries of

558
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 6: no war in Iran and anti Israel. They're all being

559
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 6: joined together because our universities don't have intellectual diversity anymore.

560
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so well said, but it's it's very

561
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: frightening to think that in the American educational system this

562
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: is where we've arrived, and it's angering. I think that

563
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: people that are listening and watching are probably on some level,

564
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of people that don't want

565
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: to see war happen. War is horrible. Big part of

566
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: the reason President Trump was elected was because he didn't

567
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: believe in extending, you know, never ending wars. I don't

568
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: think he was ever under the impression, nor do I

569
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: think he ever gave the impression that he'd be ever

570
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: afraid to use actual military strength when necessary. But the

571
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: issue is that this is something that is a once

572
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: in a lifetime kind of opportunity to topple this dictatorship,

573
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: this tyranny really is what the I toldas were and

574
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: when they killed thirty five thousand of their own just

575
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: weeks before this, Like what other evidence do people at

576
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: Arizona State University need to understand the evil that we're

577
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: dealing with?

578
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 6: You know, I think we it's it's I stumbled upon

579
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 6: something quite recently that I think goes back perfectly to this.

580
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 6: I think they should talk to the Iranians themselves. I

581
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 6: was in DC a couple of weeks ago, and I

582
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 6: stumbled upon a protest against the Comanian regime that was

583
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 6: being led by Iranians, and they're actually celebrating President Trump's actions.

584
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 6: So here you have Iranians who are celebrating President Trump

585
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 6: and Israel for taking out this brutal, brutal regime. And

586
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 6: then you have left as students who were born and

587
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 6: raised in the United States and now chanting death to

588
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 6: America for this very same thing.

589
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 3: It's disgusting to see that. And you know, the.

590
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 6: Chance, the death to America chance, that is by far

591
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 6: the most infuriating thing.

592
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 3: Are universities.

593
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 6: They're funded by us, by our tax money, and they're

594
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 6: they're just allowing this to happen. It's infuriating and yeah

595
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 6: it makes people angry.

596
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: Well, you can read our Campus Reform friends, but I

597
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: want here's what I want you to do. If if

598
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: you go online and read about this, and then you

599
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: have strong feelings about these schools and you're an alumnus,

600
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: Endowment departments get people's attention pretty quick, and you need

601
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: to let them know that there'll be no more money

602
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: coming from you. And then I would petition your your

603
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: federal leaders to stop sending moneies to these universities. They

604
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: don't need them. Their endowments last well into the future.

605
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: I think it would be really wise to put it

606
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: into all that. William, thank you for what you're doing

607
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: at Campus Reform and come on and see us again

608
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 1: sometime soon.

609
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.

610
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: It was great. You got Kevin McCulloch coming right back

611
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: over the way.

612
00:35:46,080 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 7: Let's stick around for more of that Kevin next serving

613
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 7: it up. That's a no drink mintal. It's that Kevin show, all.

614
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: Right, Kevin mccallaugh. Glad to have you with us. Welcome back.

615
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: I forgot, friends, earlier in the hour, when I was

616
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: telling you about food for the poor, I forgot to

617
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: mention that you can click through on that kevinshow dot

618
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: com to the Food for the Poor banner, which should

619
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: be up. You can text the word hunger to five

620
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: one five five five. You can also give that way,

621
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: or you can call eight five five nine zero seven

622
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: four six seven three. And however you give your gift,

623
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: if you give it this hour, it will be matched

624
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: child for child. So whatever you give, you give one

625
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars. Normally, that would take care of

626
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: two children for the entire next year, all the food

627
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: and all the water that they need for the entire

628
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: next year, two meals a day, all the drinking water

629
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: that they can have, and it's clean, it's purified, it's

630
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: good for them, it's not nasty. One hundred fIF two

631
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: kids for the entire year. But right now someone will

632
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: match that if you call, and that's going to double

633
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: the impact. You're going to reach four kids instead of

634
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: two eight five five nine zero seven four six seven

635
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: three eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three.

636
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: And I would love to just like do so well

637
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: at this friends with you. I would love to make

638
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: such a difference with you that we just we blow

639
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: away all our all of our fellow talk show hosts

640
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: at Salem Media. I know my buddy Mike Gallagher, he

641
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: really gets excited about this campaign, and you know, he's

642
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: always like talking smack to you, Hewitt and some of

643
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: the others about how many, how many kids he feeds

644
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: and so forth. I love, I'd love to show him

645
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: that real Christians really do care about the impact. And

646
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: that's the beautiful thing about Food for the Poor. It

647
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: is a Christian ministry that has been in place for

648
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: forty five years in these eighteen countries. And you're gonna

649
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: not only give food and clean drinking water to that child,

650
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: but that child will be introduced to Jesus at the

651
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: same time. So eight five five, nine oh seven four

652
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: six seven three, and if you call this hour, every

653
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: gift we get will be matched unlimited. So doesn't matter

654
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 1: how you give five thousand dollars, you're going to double

655
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: that in terms of the food in the water that

656
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: reaches and how many children are benefited by that Fords.

657
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: It is just going to make such a huge difference.

658
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 1: So please don't put it off. We we have until

659
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: the end of April basically to accomplish our goal. I'd

660
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: love to hit our goal in the next couple of weeks.

661
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: Just have everybody say Okay, let's go, let's do it.

662
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: Eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three

663
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three.

664
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: But seven hundred and twenty children are going hungry today

665
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three

666
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three.

667
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: The next couple of days, I'll have some friends stop by.

668
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it a little bit. But this is

669
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: this is part of my show. We do good all

670
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: the time. We believe in doing good. We believe. One

671
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: of the things I tell my kids when I drop

672
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: them off at school in the morning, the last thing

673
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: they hear from their dad besides I Love you, is

674
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: be good and do good. And I believe that as Christians,

675
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: because the Holy Spirit lives within their heart, they have

676
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: the ability to be their identity can be good, and

677
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: out of that identity, what they do with their actions

678
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: can then show that their actions are consistent with their identity,

679
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: that they will then do good. But you can't do

680
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: it backwards. You can't do good and then become good.

681
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: You got to be good and then out of being good,

682
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: you do good. And that's what I drill into their

683
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: head every single days they're getting out of the car. Okay,

684
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: I love you, Your dad loves you. Now be good

685
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: and do good today. And they always say the same

686
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: thing back, Okay, dad, you be good and do good too,

687
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: and that the best. Like I'm getting challenged by my

688
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: ten I'm thirteen year old to do the very thing

689
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: that I'm challenging them to do. I think that's the

690
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: way it's supposed to work, that we spur one another.

691
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: What does the scripture say, spur one another on to

692
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: love and what good deeds. Let's do that together. Eight

693
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: five five nine oh seven four six seven three. Feed

694
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: a couple of children for one hundred and fifty dollars

695
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,959
Speaker 1: for the next year and give them all the water

696
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: that they need. But right now, if you do it,

697
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: that would be match dollar for dollar eight five five

698
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: nine oh seven four six seven three. Or go to

699
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: that kevinshow dot com and took the banner at the

700
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:49,840

Speaker 1: books for Damas.

706
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 4: Of course, that Kevin Show is going to be great.

707
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 9: The only thing that could be greater, of course, would

708
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 9: be That Donald Show, but we don't have that.

709
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 3: So we have That Kevin.

710

Speaker 2: Monday through Friday on That Kevin Show and now from

717
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 2: the Connors in Sullivan Bodcast Studios. The man who is

718
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 2: not what he wants to be, but.

719
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: It is way grateful that is not who.

720
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 5: He used to be. Here, all right.

721
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: Welcome in, Kevin McCall it.

722
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: Glad to have you with us.

723
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: It is a well, it's a sunny day in New

724
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: York though it's cold, so we were hoping for the fifties,

725
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's in the low thirties. It's just one

726
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: of those weird spring days where you think it's going

727
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: to be warm and it doesn't look anything like it.

728
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: But having said that, it's warm in my heart knowing

729
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: that you're here and that we can help think through

730
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: the biggest stories and issues of the day together for

731
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: the next couple of hours. We call it that Kevin Show.

732
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: That Kevinshow dot com is where you go to get

733
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: the podcast, the columns, everything that I talk about. And

734
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about today's column, by the way, and

735
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: it's timely, but it's not necessarily newsy. Sometimes I write

736
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: about other things that pop into my mind, and I

737
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: have a lot of things that pop into my mind

738
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: and have in recent days. There are stories that entertain,

739
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: and then there are stories that just confront you with

740
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: all kinds of conviction and truth. And the life of

741
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick does not to me belong in the shallow

742
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: end of cultural celebration. I know today there's going to

743
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 1: be green beer and plastic hats and parades that forget

744
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: all the point. But his life is something far more unsettling,

745
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,439
Speaker 1: because Saint Patrick didn't just survive evil, he went back

746
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: to it. At sixteen, he was stolen from his home,

747
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: ripped from his family, dragged across the sea, forced into

748
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: slavery in a land that was not his own. He

749
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: was not Irish. Ireland was not then the land of

750
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: saints and scholars. It was wild and tribal and dangerous.

751
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: And he spent years alone, cold, hungry, forgotten, tending sheep

752
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: on hills that did not care if he lived or died.

753
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: And yet it was there that something happened, not comfort,

754
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: not rescue. Faith. In his own words, Patrick writes that

755
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: he began to pray constantly, dozens even hundreds of times

756
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: a day, not because he was religious, but because he

757
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: was desperate. And in that desperation he discovered something that

758
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: many of us, with all our conveniences and comforts, rarely

759
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: ever grasp, dependence not on strength, not on strategy, not

760
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 1: on self, but dependence on Christ. Years later, he would

761
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 1: pin what has become one of the most enduring declarations

762
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: of Christian devotion. Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ

763
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on

764
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: my right, Christ on my left. It was not poetry

765
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: pen for Instagram. It was the language of survival. Eventually,

766
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: Patrick escaped, against all odds he made at home. The

767
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: nightmare was over, the trauma behind him. The door to

768
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: a normal life, safe, familiar, deserved, was wide open, and

769
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: This is where the story totally stops making sense, because

770
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: instead of moving on, he turned around. He chose to

771
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: go back back to the place of his pain, back

772
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: to the people who enslaved him, back to the land

773
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: that had taken everything from him. Why Because the same

774
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: Christ who met him in the valley was now calling

775
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: him to walk back into the same valley. That's the

776
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: part of the story we don't celebrate enough because it

777
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: demands something of us. We live in a culture obsessed

778
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: with escape. Get out, move on, cut ties, protect your peace,

779
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: build your brand, avoid the hard places and even the

780
00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: harder people. But Patrick did the opposite, walked toward them,

781
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: not with revenge in his heart, but was redemption on

782
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: his lips. He returned not as a victim, but as

783
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 1: a witness, And in doing so, he didn't just change

784
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: his own story, he changed an entire nation's trajectory. Ireland

785
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: would never be the same. Here's the uncomfortable truth. Most

786
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: of us want comfort of faith without the cost of obedience.

787
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: We love the idea of Christ before me when it

788
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: means guidance and blessing and provision. But what happens when

789
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: Christ before Me leads us somewhere We would never choose

790
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: on our own when I need a perspective bigger than

791
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: my pain. That's not safe faith, that's dangerous faith, the

792
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 1: kind that transforms not just individuals, but whole cultures. We

793
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: don't know what conversations Patrick had when he first stepped

794
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 1: back into Iris, onto Irish soil. We don't know what

795
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: memories came flooding back, what fears tried to take hold,

796
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: what doubts whispered in the quiet, But we know this.

797
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: He didn't turn back again. He stayed, He preached, he loved,

798
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: he forgave, and slowly, steady, impossibly, hearts began to change.

799
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 1: This Saint Patrick's day, the world will celebrate with noise.

800
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: But Patrick's life was built in silence, on lonely hillsides,

801
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: in whispered prayers, in the unseen decisions of obedience that

802
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,919
Speaker 1: no one applauded until everyone did. The question his life

803
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: leaves us with is not whether we'll wear green or orange.

804
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: It's weather. We'll walk where Christ leads, even when it

805
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: costs us, even when it takes us back into places

806
00:47:55,880 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: we swore we'd never go back to, Even when forgiveness

807
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: feels impossible and obedience feels unreasonable, because the same Christ

808
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: who stands before us is the one who stands within us.

809
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: And if Patrick's life proves anything, it proves this. You

810
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: don't need perfect circumstances to change the world. If you're

811
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: waiting on them, you'll never get them. They will never come,

812
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: It will never be the perfect time. Perfect circumstances are

813
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: a carot that is chased. They are an imagination that

814
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: does not come true. They don't exist in our timeline,

815
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: they don't exist in history's timeline. And Patrick's life proved

816
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: that you don't need them to change the world. You

817
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: need a surrendered heart Christ before me. It's not just

818
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: a phrase, it's a direction, and for those who are

819
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: willing to follow it, it leads you to a life

820
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 1: that echoes far beyond a single day in the month

821
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: of March. Kevin McCullough, if you would like to know

822
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:39,479
Speaker 1: more about that Christ, send me an email that Kevin

823
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: Show at gmail dot com. If we don't do anything

824
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 1: else at this microphone, if we never accomplish the passing

825
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 1: of one piece of legislation, if we don't do anything

826
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: else here, I'm okay with that. I want you to

827
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: know the Christ that goes before and the Christ who

828
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: comes behind, and the Christ who is in me, the

829
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: Christ who is under the steps that I take. He's

830
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: beneath me, he's above me. He's on my right and

831
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: my left. I want you to know him too. That

00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 5: Here.

837
00:50:53,320 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 4: He is from New York. That Kevin Kevin mccullor, all.

838
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: Right, welcome back. It's that Kevin Show for Tuesday. And

839
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: we're very honored to have Katy McFarlane joining us. She

840
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: joins us weekly to discuss all things foreign policy, but

841
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: specifically military and national security. And kat I think a

842
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: lot of good things are going on. I like the

843
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 1: President doing something that nobody's done before, and that is saying, hey,

844
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: you other countries that are going to benefit from all this,

845
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: get your boats over here too, divvying up some of

846
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: the risk and responsibility. Where do you think we are?

847
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: Is the Supreme Leader dead? What's going on on the ground,

848
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: What are our objectives? What do we have yet to

849
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 1: accomplish before we can start to draw down our presence?

850
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 11: There. Oh, I think he's going extremely well. Yeah, the

851
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 11: Supreme Leader, the first Supreme Leader died the first day.

852
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 11: The second Supreme Leader, nobody's had proof of.

853
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 4: Life of him.

854
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 11: So is he alive? Is he not? Things are issued

855
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 11: in his name?

856
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 12: Who knows?

857
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 11: The other major leader, Lauren Johnny the President, he was

858
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 11: killed yesterday. If they're working their way through the top

859
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:06,240
Speaker 11: tier of leaders military, civilian, and part of the regime,

860
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 11: that's good. The military part of it. They've taken up

861
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 11: the Navy, the Air Force, the nuclear sites, the missile sites,

862
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 11: the missile production sites, the drone the site, the drone

863
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 11: production sites, the command and control so there. Militarily, they're

864
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 11: just doing a terrific job of really completely demilitarizing Iran.

865
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 3: So what's left?

866
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 11: So the straight up our moose, which going back to

867
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 11: the Nixon administration. When I was in the Knixon administration,

868
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 11: we always knew RN's mood would be to try to

869
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 11: seal off the straight up our moves. They try to

870
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 11: do it for Reagan, they try to do it many

871
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 11: times before. So why is the United States not immediately

872
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 11: jumping to our allies aid and opening the street was

873
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 11: because it's not our list of priorities, but it's not

874
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 11: number one list on our priority because we wanted to

875
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 11: do all the things I've just mentioned, and we're doing that.

876
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 11: So when we get we're confident that there's no war,

877
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 11: we're making capability of a run, and I think we

878
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,320
Speaker 11: get to the Strait of Hormuz. But like you said,

879
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 11: the President said to our allies, well, come on, guys,

880
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 11: you have ships, you have ships in the area.

881
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 3: Where are you?

882
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 11: And what he doesn't say is, hey, wait a minute, guys,

883
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 11: the shipping that goes through the Straight of Hormones is yours.

884
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 5: It's not.

885
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 11: It's Europeans, Middle East Asia. That's the trade route through

886
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 11: the Straight of the Persian Gulf, Strait of Removes. American

887
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 11: ships aren't going through those routes, I mean one or two,

888
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 11: but it's not our goods and commerce. It's transiting the

889
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 11: Strait of Hormuz. So you would think that the Allies

890
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 11: would jump at the opportunity to help us, help them,

891
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 11: but so far, not only have they refused most of them,

892
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 11: but in many cases they're all trying to cut their

893
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,919
Speaker 11: own separate deals, with Iran saying well, you know, let

894
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 11: the French ships in effectively siding with Iran instead of

895
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 11: the United States. I think President Trump will have a

896
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 11: long memory when this is all finished. But I do

897
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 11: think it will be finished within several weeks. And how

898
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 11: could it finish well? Number One, President Trump could just

899
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 11: declare victory today and walk away because he's decimated Iron's

900
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 11: ability to make war.

901
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: Well, if we don't need the straight and we've done

902
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: everything we set out to do, I think a lot

903
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: of people are saying, well, why don't we just do that?

904
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 11: Well? President Trump's argument, and it's the argument that is

905
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 11: a very good one. It's like mowing the grass. You

906
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 11: mow the grass, and you know, you mow the grass.

907
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 11: It's great, good for a bit of time, but then

908
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 11: the grass goes back and you got the same problem

909
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 11: all over again. And what President Trump is saying is

910
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 11: I want to solve this problem now. I don't want

911
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 11: to kick it down the road. I don't want to

912
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 11: have to have my successors deal with it. But he could.

913
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 11: He could easily walk away to Morosa, mission accomplished, and

914
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,959
Speaker 11: I've set around back at least ten years in any

915
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 11: of their economic, military, nuclear missile programs. But what he

916
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 11: wants to do is maybe not regime change, in the

917
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 11: sense of kill them all or get rid of them all,

918
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 11: like George Bush did in Afghanistan and a rock. But

919
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,439
Speaker 11: maybe it's the regime change Trump style, which is get

920
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 11: rid of the in calcitrant ones, the ones who keep

921
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,280
Speaker 11: screaming death to America, and see if there's anybody within

922
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 11: the leadership or elites in the country that would be

923
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 11: willing to work with us, like what happened in Venezuela.

924
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 11: And I think that's what they're doing. You know, you

925
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 11: don't see it, and of course immediate assumes it's not

926
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 11: happening just because they don't see it. But we are

927
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 11: talking to the senior leaders in these countries. We were

928
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 11: talking to the leaders in Iran in Venezuela before the

929
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 11: Maduro raid. We are talking to the senior people in

930
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 11: Cuba right now about what would what would a government

931
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 11: post communists look like? What would a government post Maduro

932
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 11: look like? And I'm assuming that given the fact that

933
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 11: we have far greater intelligence, along with the Israelis, of

934
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 11: what happens in Iran, and we're also talking there.

935
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: What what what do you what do you make of

936
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: where the Iranian people sit right now?

937
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 11: You don't know, I mean nobody's punk both opinion polls

938
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 11: that anybody can count on and Iran right now, what

939
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 11: is happening on the streets that are run is that

940
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 11: there's a group called the Besiege b A.

941
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 13: S I J.

942
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 11: And they're fogs and guys in motorcycle gangs and they're

943
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 11: quote irregular forces, but they're the goons. They're the goods

944
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,280
Speaker 11: who are doing street patrol, and those are the people

945
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 11: who are gunning down any protesters. What they do is

946
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 11: that the Besiege says up these checkpoints on corner street corners,

947
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 11: and if they see anybody who looks like they're going

948
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 11: to protest, or women who aren't weighing the headscarves, they

949
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 11: shoot them or they arrest them. So what are we

950
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 11: doing about that? Well, this is the sort of second

951
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 11: wave of the attacks that we're doing. We can pinpoint

952
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 11: those checkpoints and we can send a missile right to

953
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 11: that place or drop a bomb right at that street corner,

954
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 11: and that eliminates and destroys that checkpoint. So well, that

955
00:56:58,280 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 11: was not the first that we have now turned to

956
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,439
Speaker 11: that in week two. Week one, it was to get

957
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 11: rid of the missile sites and the command and control.

958
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 11: But we're now to the sort of next level of targets.

959
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 11: And we're doing that. At what point does somebody emerge

960
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 11: from either the current regime, say a second tier person

961
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 11: who says enough is enough, or does somebody other people emerge?

962
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 11: As President Trump has said, and this is quite unusual,

963
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 11: he said to the military, lay down your arms, I'll

964
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 11: get the anssy. We would like you to work with

965
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 11: a new government. So I think that we just there's

966
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 11: several options. President Trump hass he can just keep killing

967
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 11: the guys tier one, tier two, tier three until he

968
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 11: gets somebody who says, Okay, I'm willing to work with you.

969
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 11: I want to run back in the new world, the

970
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 11: world economy. We're going to stop our new their program.

971
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 11: We're not going to support the proxies. We're going to

972
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 11: dismantle our highly enriched geranium. And maybe there is that person,

973
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 11: maybe there's not that person.

974
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 4: But it's fluid.

975
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 11: And that's why I think President Trump has so many options,

976
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 11: and he's given himself make some emoptions.

977
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 3: Remember Iran's broke.

978
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 11: They don't have any oil to so they can't sell

979
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 11: their oil.

980
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 4: But we've left.

981
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 11: For example, there's a place called Kerg Island, which is

982
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 11: this tiny island in the middle of the Strait of

983
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 11: Hormuz and its Two things happen there. One is there

984
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 11: military base is there to shoot it any ship that's transitting,

985
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 11: and that we destroyed three days ago. No military operations

986
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 11: on card Island. But Card Island also has a pipeline

987
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 11: going from Iran to the island, and that's where all

988
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 11: the ships that are getting oil. You know that the

989
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 11: oil transit ships are loaded up with oil.

990
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 4: We've left that alone.

991
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 11: And we've left that alone because I think President Trump again,

992
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 11: is he working with the people of Iran or his

993
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 11: people talking to their people or some people with the

994
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 11: idea that then a post Mullah regime could build up

995
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 11: very quickly into as you said, one of the most

996
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 11: prosperous countries in the world.

997
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's their history, and I think you still

998
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: have some people who are alive forty seven fifty years

999
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: ago that remember that. What do you think the role

1000
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: of the crown princes in this He has volunteered to

1001
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: help in whatever way he can. Is he useful or

1002
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: is it still just too insecure in terms of the

1003
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: math on the ground to be able to bring someone

1004
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: like that in well as.

1005
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 11: President of Shwubs. He's met him several times. He says,

1006
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 11: a nice guy's really polite, very earnest. He's got a

1007
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 11: comprehensive plan of you know, things like Wendy, you turn

1008
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 11: on the lights, Wendy, you turn on the water works.

1009
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 11: But he himself a lobby has not been in Iran

1010
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 11: for four or five years, so does he have the

1011
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 11: connections on the ground that he might need. My guess

1012
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 11: is that the the US government, officially or unificially, he

1013
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 11: is talking to everybody and they're trying to see, okay,

1014
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 11: who might work.

1015
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 9: Because remember with.

1016
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 11: Venezuela, there was Maria Machado who got the Nobel Prize,

1017
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 11: is the opposition leader, and everyone thought, oh, well, Trump

1018
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 11: is going to support her. She's going to go in.

1019
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 11: She hasn't been in Venezuela in a number of years,

1020
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 11: but she's going to go in and be the new government.

1021
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 11: She was talking to President Trump still is in his team,

1022
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 11: and I think they concluded that as good as she was,

1023
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 11: she wasn't up to running the government.

1024
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 3: She didn't have a.

1025
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 11: Plan, and that's why they were at the same time

1026
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 11: talking to the Vice president, Maduro's number two, Delsea Rodriguez,

1027
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 11: talking to her. They were also talking to two.

1028
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 9: Other rodriguez Is, the brothers of DLCEA Rodriguez, who were

1029
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 9: heads of the intelligence services, and I forget what else,

1030
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 9: but they talked to them, and I think that that's

1031
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 9: when they conclude, Okay, who's capable, who will have the support.

1032
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 11: Of the people, who will do what we want them

1033
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 11: to do, and they go from there. So I think

1034
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 11: that's where we are now. And I don't have a

1035
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 11: crystal ball to say.

1036
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 4: Who will be emerged from this, But.

1037
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 11: We have all the options. We could declare victory walk

1038
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 11: away tomorrow. We could bomb more of their economic sites

1039
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 11: and put them back into the Stone Age. We could

1040
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 11: find some people and around who are willing to work

1041
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 11: with us and then go forward. I think those all

1042
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 11: three of those options are very good. And how long

1043
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 11: will this take?

1044
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think it takes six months.

1045
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 11: I think that the conclusions are reached one way or

1046
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 11: the other within.

1047
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, well they certainly were in Venezuela. I think,

1048
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, to realize how relatively calm that is now

1049
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: and how recently that happened two ago, I mean, it's

1050
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: crazy and all right, Katie always appreciate the insights very helpful.

1051
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 3: Thank you, thanks so pleasure.

1052
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 11: Thank you.

1053
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Kevin mccallach. I'm in right fact, don't away.

1054
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 4: Let's stick around for more of that. Kevin next here

1055
01:01:53,040 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 4: he is from New York. Exact Ken Kevin McCullough in

1056
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 4: Latriae is the.

1057
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 11: Yes.

1058
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 12: I always worry about the collisions intens the water.

1059
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 3: Is the enferment.

1060
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 12: Sometimes in during winter they get sick, they might get diarrhea,

1061
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 12: they might get stomach ache, and I believe that is

1062
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 12: because of the war collisions that they have.

1063
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that there's anybody on the planet that

1064
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: can argue that being sick from bad water is a

1065
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: bad experience. And if you've ever been in a foreign country,

1066
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: if you've ever been in a place where the water

1067
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: supply is not sound and you've experienced that, you know,

1068
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: just on an average basis, what it is like to

1069
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 1: be sick from that. But can you imagine that type

1070
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 1: of water being the only water supply you have. Well,

1071
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: that is the case in thousands of little lives throughout

1072
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: Central and Latin America, South America, Haiti, some of the

1073
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: countries where food for the pores at work. And the

1074
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: reason that we are bringing this to your attention right

1075
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 1: now is because it is important to know that every

1076
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: one of the children that we help with Food for

1077
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: the Poor this year is not just going to receive

1078
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: a year's worth of food with two meals per day

1079
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: for the next three hundred and sixty five days, but

1080
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: they're going to get clean drinking water. They're going to

1081
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: have access to clean drinking water. Here from Food for

1082
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: the Poor to discuss is Danny Patino who rejoins us

1083
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: and Danny, when I think of contaminated water, I almost

1084
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: think of this as a bigger crisis, a more urgent

1085
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: crisis than the lack of food. It takes you longer

1086
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: to starve to death than it does to drink really

1087
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: bad water and have your whole system be flushed with

1088
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: dehydration and your body rejecting and emptying out of all

1089
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: of the moisture that you have. And this is what

1090
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: Contaminated water leads to deaths from dehydration more than anything else.

1091
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 1: So it's a really, really bad deal. But the fact

1092
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: that we give clean drinking water, access to clean drinking

1093
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: water every one of these kids were helping today, that's

1094
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 1: really an amazing thing.

1095
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 3: And you said it, that's yourself.

1096
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 10: It can make you sick and you're already sick, then

1097
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 10: where do we go?

1098
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 3: What's the next step? Right?

1099
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 10: So clean water should be all right, we understand that,

1100
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 10: but for millions that we serve here at Food for

1101
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 10: the Poor, it's a risk. And we're talking about water

1102
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 10: that doesn't quench a thirst. It makes you sick, It

1103
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 10: creates sickness, and that water steals childhoods. And we heard

1104
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 10: there are Maria we we met in Guatemala. She just

1105
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 10: thinks about what's going to make them sick if I

1106
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 10: drink them water, not the other way around, where I

1107
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 10: want to quench their thirst and move on with life, right,

1108
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 10: that we usually do here in the States, because we

1109
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 10: don't have to think about that kind of water. We

1110
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 10: probably drink the bottled water that sits in our car

1111
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 10: in the sun for a couple of days because we

1112
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 10: know it's clean, we know we can drink it. And

1113
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 10: that's the kind of luxury that we live here. And

1114
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 10: by the luxury, I mean it is a luxury for

1115
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 10: these families that we're helping in Latin America and the Caribbean.

1116
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 10: And chronic diarrhea isn't just a symptom, it's a thief

1117
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 10: it's nutrition from hungry children.

1118
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 3: It steals days from school.

1119
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:07,439
Speaker 10: Imagine I even being able to go to school because

1120
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 10: you're sick, and on top of that and not be

1121
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 10: able to feed your kids to get them back to health.

1122
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 10: So that way, maybe you can get your routine going.

1123
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 10: And that routine is broken right away. And this is

1124
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 10: that strength that withers away on families that are already struggling.

1125
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 10: And this can be preventable, and it really is.

1126
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:26,439
Speaker 3: And that's why I'm here.

1127
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 10: Today to tell you that you can step into those

1128
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 10: lives of those families with a one time gift, and

1129
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 10: that one time gift becomes a daily gift for these families,

1130
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 10: for the children that are already going through malnourishment. This

1131
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 10: becomes a meal that finally gets them back on their feet.

1132
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 10: Water that is no longer contamidated. It's safe water. Water

1133
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 10: they can use for many many other things other than drinking. Finally,

1134
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 10: you can cook with this, you can bathe with this,

1135
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 10: you can use it, and you know that it's not

1136
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 10: going to come back and become something worse. And that's

1137
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 10: the choice that a parent should not make. They shouldn't

1138
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 10: Their choices would be what kind of meal are we

1139
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 10: having today. What cool adventure are we going to go

1140
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 10: on today? And that's the goal that we were trying

1141
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 10: to provide with the one time gift that we were

1142
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 10: asking here, Well, one time gift to one hundred and

1143
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 10: fifty dollars, Like you said, it becomes a world of change,

1144
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 10: three hundred and sixty five days of relief for these families.

1145
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: If you think about this, friends, and I would really

1146
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: beg of you to consider that one hundred and fifty

1147
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 1: dollars seventy five dollars per child is not only going

1148
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,439
Speaker 1: to feed them two meals a day for the coming year,

1149
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: but that it's going to give them access to clean

1150
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 1: drinking water. Now do you think they need probably more

1151
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: than eight or sixteen ounces whatever your little water bottle

1152
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: is that you buy, you know, from the vending machine

1153
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: or you get it from the from the Walgreens or

1154
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: wherever you go, you know, and you grab a bottle

1155
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: of water, even if you get it from the Sam's

1156
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: Club or the you know whatever else the discount buyer

1157
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 1: shop and you get the big crate, they're still what

1158
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: a dollar fifty each or something like that dollar twenty

1159
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: five maybe where you can go imagine having to supply

1160
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 1: water for a child for an entire year, and they're

1161
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 1: going to need more than eight ounces a day. They're

1162
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 1: going to need a lot more than eight ounces of

1163
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 1: water a day. You're supposed to drink half your body

1164
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: weight in water each day just to be healthy. So

1165
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: think about that and then do that math. You're talking

1166
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: about several hundred dollars just for clean water for one child.

1167
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, this is the beautiful kind of

1168
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: multiplying effect of food for the poor. You give your

1169
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: gift of seventy five dollars for that child, they're going

1170
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: to get over seven hundred meals for the next year.

1171
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: And in addition, they're going to get literally hundreds, if

1172
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: not thousands of dollars worth of clean drinking water. When

1173
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,439
Speaker 1: you put a dollar amount on it, when you understand

1174
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: what that cost, what it would cost you to bring

1175
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 1: it into your home to give to your kids, to

1176
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 1: have your family, imagine that cost. But imagine now the

1177
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 1: efficiency of having seventy five dollars provide all of that

1178
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: for one child for the next year. So one hundred

1179
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars takes care of two kids. Now, listen

1180
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: to me very carefully for the next ten minutes. Every

1181
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: child that we take care of, every seventy five dollars gift,

1182
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: every one hundred and fifty dollars gift that comes in,

1183
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 1: every gift of any size is going to be doubled. Friends,

1184
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,679
Speaker 1: be a miracle in another child's life. Right now eight five, five,

1185
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: nine zero, seven four six seventy three. Text the word

1186
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: hunger to five to one, five fifty.

1187
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 14: Five, or go to that Kevin show dot com.

1188
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:58,919
Speaker 4: Here he is from New York. That Kevin Kevin mckellough.

1189
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Time Square. It's Kevin mccallough, that Kevin Show,

1190
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: that kevinshow dot com now on six hundred and ninety

1191
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 1: five stations across the country. Thank you for welcoming us

1192
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 1: into your life at home. With the existence of a

1193
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: global conflict underway and the US part of that, even

1194
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 1: though we have some other allies involved, Israel and some others,

1195
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 1: you can always bet that there's going to be an

1196
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: economic impact what's going on when the military is involved. EJ.

1197
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: Anthony joins us from the Heritage Foundation. He's their chief ECONOMISTJ.

1198
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 1: I know that one of the reasons a lot of

1199
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: Americans actually supported President Trump is because he while he's

1200
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: not opposed to using military force, getting us into long

1201
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: standing conflicts is something that he is very much against.

1202
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 1: We seem to be ahead of schedule. What's the economic

1203
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: impact thus far of this two and a half going

1204
01:09:58,120 --> 01:09:58,959
Speaker 1: on three week.

1205
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 13: War, Kevin question? Unfortunately not good. We're basically seeing a

1206
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 13: lot of speculation within the oil market, within the natural

1207
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 13: gas market, because we simply just don't know how this is,

1208
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 13: how this is going to turn out. You know, you're

1209
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 13: talking about an industry where the infrastructure is literally going

1210
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 13: to take weeks to make changes. What I mean by

1211
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 13: that is, if you're trying to figure out am I

1212
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 13: able as an oil exporter in the Gulf, am I

1213
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 13: able to get oil out of the strait of horror moves?

1214
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 3: I'm not thinking about today.

1215
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 13: I'm thinking about two three weeks from now, because that's

1216
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 13: how long it's going to take, even under emergency procedures,

1217
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,559
Speaker 13: to turn my oil infrastructure off, whether it's the pumps,

1218
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 13: whether it's the refineries, whatever the case may be. Right, So,

1219
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 13: people unfortunately are having to make decisions again based on

1220
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 13: very incomplete information about future events. And on top of that,

1221
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 13: not only do you have to worry about again oil

1222
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 13: infrastructure just simply being shut off. But now since oil

1223
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 13: infrastructure has been targeted in the war, now you're having

1224
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 13: to worry about it just being flat out destroyed. Then

1225
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 13: it's not a matter of oil supply returning to the

1226
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,839
Speaker 13: market in a matter of weeks, but months or years

1227
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 13: to either repair or rebuild things that have been destroyed.

1228
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 13: So again, unfortunately, the impact here is very negative economically speaking,

1229
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 13: because it's going to mean higher energy costs, and those

1230
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 13: higher energy costs trickle down to everything else in the economy,

1231
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 13: and not only on carg It seems like the US

1232
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 13: military has avoided the oil infrastructure but pretty much everywhere

1233
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 13: else in Iran and in.

1234
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 1: The rest region to have something salvageable for whatever comes next,

1235
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 1: which would make a lot of sense.

1236
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 13: Right now now President Trump has threatened to destroy all

1237
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,640
Speaker 13: of that oil infrastructure, but thus far, at least, it

1238
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:59,520
Speaker 13: has simply been Israel and Iran that have been targeting

1239
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 13: oil infrastructure in the region, with Israel striking obviously targets

1240
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 13: in Iran and Iran striking targets pretty much everywhere else

1241
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 13: in the region.

1242
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 3: When it comes to oil infrastructure.

1243
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: What does this do for American producers? Of energy. I

1244
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 1: happen to be a very small partner in a djbasin

1245
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: company that is trying to increase our footprint all the time.

1246
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: How do American energy producers fare during a season like this.

1247
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 13: Well, you would initially think that any decreases in production

1248
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 13: out of places like the Middle East would simply just

1249
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 13: be matched by increases in production everywhere else, and to

1250
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 13: a certain extent, that's true, but not all crude is

1251
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 13: created equal. For example, most of the refineries that we

1252
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 13: have along the Gulf of America are set up to

1253
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 13: refine heavy crude like what comes out of Venezuela, like

1254
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 13: what comes out of the Middle East. They're actually not

1255
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 13: set up to refine the oil that we produce here

1256
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 13: at home, believe it or not, what we call WTI

1257
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 13: West Texas Intermedia. Most of that kevin we actually ship

1258
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,720
Speaker 13: abroad to be refined overseas at places that are set

1259
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 13: up specifically to handle light, sweet crude.

1260
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,559
Speaker 3: And so the issue is that.

1261
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 13: Even if we were to one for one, replace all

1262
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 13: of the lost production overseas with increased production here at home,

1263
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 13: we don't necessarily have the oil infrastructure to handle that,

1264
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,879
Speaker 13: at least not in any way economically.

1265
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: That is discouraging. You mentioned Venezuela kind of key that

1266
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: we have control over their oil choices right now, isn't it?

1267
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 3: In lifeliness? It certainly helps. It's a great point, Kevin.

1268
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 13: The only problem with Venezuela is that their infrastructure has

1269
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 13: been so neglected by the communist regime down there that unfortunately,

1270
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 13: it's going to take many years for us to actually

1271
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 13: get that production back to where it was just a

1272
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 13: matter of a few years ago. Really, because again, we're

1273
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 13: not talking about an industry where you can turn things

1274
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 13: on and off with like a light switch.

1275
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, if we do gain control of a reasonable solution

1276
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 1: in Iran, the leadership there is going to be tend

1277
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 1: to be, I believe, friendli er to the United States

1278
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 1: than what we've experienced in the last forty seven years.

1279
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:26,360
Speaker 1: What will American dominance with Iranian oil, Venezuelan oil, US oil?

1280
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: How does that impact you know, Russia, China, kind of

1281
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 1: the other people that want to play in the energy

1282
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 1: game and need large amounts of it.

1283
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 13: Well, I think it does give the United States a

1284
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,559
Speaker 13: little bit of an edge. You know, there are some

1285
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 13: folks who say, well, I have no impact at all.

1286
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 13: Because oil's oil is a global market, and there are

1287
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 13: other folks who think, well, no, it's going to give

1288
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 13: the United States complete and total energy dominance.

1289
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 3: Look, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

1290
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 2: Right.

1291
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 13: Yes, it is true that the US having control of

1292
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 13: more oil supplies is going to give us some leverage.

1293
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 13: But at the same time, it's not total leverage. It's

1294
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 13: not as if we're going to be able to shut

1295
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 13: off all supplies to nations that we don't like, because again,

1296
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:09,679
Speaker 13: these are global markets, and if they're not buying from Iran,

1297
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 13: they'll buy from somewhere else. So in other words, we're

1298
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,799
Speaker 13: simply going to redirect certain flows.

1299
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 3: You know, Russia, Russia's the key player here.

1300
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 13: I think what's happening right now, unfortunately, has been a

1301
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 13: total windfall to Putin because we've had to lift sanctions

1302
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 13: off of Russia so that they are now exporting not

1303
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 13: only more, but they're exporting at market prices, whereas before

1304
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 13: under sanctions they were having to essentially do it under

1305
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 13: the table and sell oil at discount rates. So now

1306
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 13: they're selling much more oil at much higher prices. Again,

1307
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 13: that's a windfall to Putin. But to your point, if

1308
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:46,760
Speaker 13: you bring this additional supply online. What happens will now

1309
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 13: you depress prices again and that really eats into the

1310
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:51,639
Speaker 13: financing for Putin's war machine.

1311
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you can see what happens. EJ. We're going

1312
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:56,800
Speaker 1: to have to have you back to talk about your

1313
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six index of Economic Freedom, but just give

1314
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: me the thumbnail. What's the what's the top line news there?

1315
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,200
Speaker 13: Well, I think the top line news is simply the

1316
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 13: fact that the United States is finally starting to improve

1317
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 13: when it comes to economic freedom, and that comes from

1318
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 13: the huge deregulatory effort that we've seen at the federal

1319
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 13: government over the last year or so.

1320
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,759
Speaker 3: So positive news at least on that front.

1321
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Deregulation's good. Keep them coming as far as I'm concerned.

1322
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:21,760
Speaker 5: EJ.

1323
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: Anthony of the Heritage Foundation, Thank you for being with us.

1324
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:25,679
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me. Kevin.

1325
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: Kevin McCollough coming right back from Times Square under.

1326
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 7: Way, let's stick around for more of that.

1327
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 4: Kevin next.

1328
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 7: Serving it up with a no Drink Minute. It's net

1329
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:51,760
Speaker 7: Kevin that.

1330
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 1: Show, Kevin mccallaugh. Glad have you with us that Kevin show,

1331
01:16:56,680 --> 01:17:00,639
Speaker 1: that kevinshow dot com. That's where you go and we've

1332
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 1: got more news and stuff for you straight ahead. I

1333
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,919
Speaker 1: hope that, I hope that that you know we're providing

1334
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: some help to you this afternoon. Thank you, by the way,

1335
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:15,280
Speaker 1: to those of you that have helped us get past

1336
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 1: the five hundred and fiftieth child in our Food for

1337
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: the Poor efforts. We are on our way to seven twenty.

1338
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: We have a little bit of wood to chop. I

1339
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: believe that we can get there. I would love to

1340
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 1: get there, you know, before the end of this week.

1341
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 1: If it was possible. There's one hundred and seventy something

1342
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:40,680
Speaker 1: children left seventy five dollars each. We'll rescue one and

1343
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: give them two meals a day for the next year

1344
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 1: and clean drinking water all that they can consume for

1345
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. Seventy five dollars will do that at

1346
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three

1347
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three.

1348
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 1: I also want you to go to another website that

1349
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 1: kevinshow dot com backslash Heaven. That kevinshow dot com backslash Heaven.

1350
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 1: The reason that I want you to go to that

1351
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 1: website is because when you go to that page, you

1352
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:16,719
Speaker 1: can request a kit this Holy season that will guide

1353
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 1: your thoughts and questions. There'll be a trailer that you

1354
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,360
Speaker 1: can get, there'll be a full length movie that you

1355
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 1: can get, and there'll be some study questions that go

1356
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: along with it about a story called Heaven, How I

1357
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 1: Got Here, the story of the Thief on the Cross.

1358
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 1: We are giving out links and copies of this movie

1359
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 1: as many as we can, hoping that not only will

1360
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: you watch it yourself, but that you'll invite a friend

1361
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: to watch it. And what you can do is get

1362
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 1: your watch kit when you go to that website that

1363
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 1: kevinshow dot com backslash Heaven, that kevinshow dot com backslash Heaven.

1364
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 1: There's also a link to see the film in more

1365
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 1: than three dozen languages. As it is now across the world,

1366
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 1: rapidly expanding and becoming we're raising awareness about it everywhere.

1367
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 1: But what this story does, basically, the movie tells the

1368
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 1: story of the ubiquitous character, the Thief on the Cross.

1369
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:21,559
Speaker 1: He is the man who is crucified next to Jesus

1370
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: on the same day. And you may remember there were

1371
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: two thieves and one cursed Jesus and died and went

1372
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: the way that that goes and the other. This thief

1373
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: started out on that path, but has a recognition when

1374
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: hearing the words that Jesus spoke, and he asked the

1375
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:49,480
Speaker 1: god of the universe to remember him, and Jesus promised

1376
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 1: that he would, And what that essentially was was a

1377
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: was a transaction. The thief put his faith in Jesus,

1378
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 1: and Jesus took him to heaven. He took the thief

1379
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 1: to heaven. Who was just He was way more than

1380
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: a thief, by the way, because you didn't get you

1381
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 1: didn't get crucified for being a petty thief. It was

1382
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 1: a bad guy, terrorist, rapist, murderer. He was a guy

1383
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: that deserved the sentence that he was being given. Next

1384
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 1: to Jesus. Jesus didn't deserve to die. He did nothing.

1385
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: The reason he died was to take your sin in mind.

1386
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 1: But he didn't do anything that warranted him being there.

1387
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: But the thief did. And the thief deserved what he got,

1388
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 1: and he still ended up in heaven. And if that

1389
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 1: is if that makes you curious, if you're like, how

1390
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 1: does that even work, you need to watch the movie.

1391
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 1: It's portrayed by Stephen Baldwin as a one man play

1392
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,280
Speaker 1: that was done. It was shot about twelve years ago,

1393
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 1: but it's really relevant and I will say it's quite emotional.
