21

Speaker 2: you're gonna want to hear from our great friend and sponsor,

22

23

Speaker 2: health insurance and you're paying a fortune for it. I

24
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: have a friend at church. This just happened. This week.

25
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: He just texted me today to Chris, thank you for

26
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: sending me to John and his team. I called, he's

27
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 2: in between jobs right now. And one of the biggest

28
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: stressors they had was how are we going to afford

29
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: buying our own health insurance when we're down to one

30
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: income in the house right now? And I said, you've

31
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: got to call John and his team, and they did,

32
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: and they were so relieved that they were actually able

33
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: to get insurance for their family of four without stressing

34
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: or paying some exorbitant sum of money for a Cobra plan.

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: This is the second friend in between jobs who has

36
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: saved hundreds literally hundreds of dollars a month. My parents, seniors,

37
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: and my step parents also seniors. All four of them

38
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: have saved each hundreds of dollars a month with their

39
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: supplemental health insurance plan with Medicare because they reached out

55
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: I'd like, and so Friday's your opportunity. If you're so inclined,

56
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: there's something on your mind, something you want to add,

57
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 2: something that's been gnawing at you, and you want to

58
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: get it off your chest, today is the day to

59
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: do it. And you can reach out to me at

60
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: eight five five Stigall. People sometimes say, how do you

61
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: spell that? I say, here's the easier way to go.

62
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: Eight five five seven eight four forty two fifty five

63
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: eight five five seven eight four forty two fifty five.

64
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: Come on in. I've got room for you today coming up.

65
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: I am inspired that there happens to be at least

66
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: one governor on the record out there. He's not the

67
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: only governor, but there happens to be at least one

68
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: governor that's actually trying to make things more affordable for you.

69
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: We don't spend enough time talking. Somebody asked me yesterday.

70
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: I was doing an interview with a media outlet and

71
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: they said, what's the difference. They were asking me about

72
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: our show going syndicated last year, and they said, what

73
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: is the difference between doing a local show and a

74
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: syndicated show. I said, well, the problem is when you

75
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: talk about things like affordability, that's all relative, dependent upon

76
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: where you live. You know, we broadcast to the entirety

77
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: of the United States, and so when I say, wow,

78
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: look at gas prices, they've come down. You know, for instance,

79
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: when gas we were enjoying a much cheaper gallon of

80
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: gas prior to the iron strike in places like Iowa,

81
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: it was a buck eighty eight. And then I would say, wow,

82
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: gas is down to a buck eighty eight over here,

83
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: and someone would inevitably write and they would say, it's

84
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: not cheaper here. I'm out here in such and such

85
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: California and it's five dollars. And this in such sense

86
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: of gallon and I would say, because you live in

87
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: California and the fact of the matter is the government

88
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: closest to you is the one that you ought to

89
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: pay closest attention too. And as a matter of fact,

90
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: that's exactly what so many people are doing all over

91
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: the country. They're moving, they're moving, they're choosing states that

92
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: don't rape and pillage there their bank accounts. Kathy Hokeel

93
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: it went viral yesterday. There was a clip of her

94
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: which we played, but then people went back and dug

95
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: up an earlier clip of this where she basically told

96
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: people that if they didn't agree with her politics, they

97
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: could get the hell out. And did you see that

98
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: if they didn't it's been floating around now. It's the

99
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: split screen. We played the hocal clip, yeah, yesterday of

100
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: her begging people to come home, but I was reminded

101
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: yesterday there's a clip of her actually telling people to

102
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: get the hell out. That's just a year ago. Yeah,

103
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: the split screen clip. Yes, I did see that, and

104
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: that's it.

105
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 7: Doesn't she say She's like, Oh, we don't need you,

106
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 7: we don't watch you. Is that the kind of like

107
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 7: taking it tough, like.

108
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: Having New Yorker? Yeah, you want to move, go ahead,

109
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: And now she's saying, go to Palms Springs and pumpring Pump, pump,

110
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: pump Beachy. I go to Pumpbeach and get everybody out

111
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: of there. Come home, do your patriotic duty, and start

112
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: paying up. We need rich people to float all our

113
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: expenses here, which was hilarious, But anyway, my point is

114
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: there are governors out there still trying to make it work.

115
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: And how about becoming a no income tax state. If

116
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: you're listening in places like Tennessee and Florida, you already

117
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: know that your story and that's why your state is exploding.

118
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: There are other governors that are actually trying to do that,

119
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 2: believe it or not. And so we're going to talk

120
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: with one of them about what their successful formula is.

121
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: And Senator Marshall Blackburn from Tennessee will join us today too.

122
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: Speaking of Tennessee, it sounds like Thune says, we're not

123
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: leaving town, and I think this is only appropriate. We're

124
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: not leaving town until we get DHS funded. The government

125
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: is still technically closed, folks. You would be forgiven if

126
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: you didn't know that. Interesting how the media didn't want

127
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: to talk about that anymore. Why is that? Is that

128
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: strange when you normally be force fed story after story

129
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: after story top of the broadcast about how the government

130
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 2: is still shut down and people aren't getting their paychecks,

131
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: and yet you're not hearing almost anything about it at all.

132
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: In fact, as I look at MS now this morning,

133
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: out of the corner of my eye, Joe and Mika

134
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: an hour Less talking about the war, CNN talking about

135
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: the war because it is their impression, and what they're

136
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: trying to leave you with the impression, and we've gone

137
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: through this this week, is that the war is going

138
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 2: poorly and you should be concerned about it. Three weeks

139
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: in three weeks trying to take out an Islamic regime

140
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: that has been ensconced for fifty years, nuked up and

141
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: ballistic missiled up, and there is an active campaign, as

142
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: I've said this week, to dispirit you and make you

143
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: feel all is lost and that this as Jdban said,

144
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 2: temporary spike in gas prices is here to stay and

145
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: that we're going to be involved in some multi you're

146
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: quagmire in Iran. People don't have a lot of patients

147
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: frankly for this sort of thing. And I understand, when

148
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: you're talking about American lives and you're talking about high

149
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: cost it's hard to have patients. But the grander vision

150
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: is really what President Trump is trying to deliver here.

151
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: And he had the Japanese Prime Minister visiting the White

152
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: House yesterday and was hilarious actually lowering the boom to

153
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: reminding people they got to step up and do their part.

154
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: Here give me number four. Here's the President with the

155
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: Prime Minister and the Press Corps from Japan. He was

156
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: feeling it yesterday.

157
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 8: Japan to step up, because you know, we have that

158
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 8: kind of relationship, and we step up a Japan. We

159
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 8: have forty five thousand soldiers in.

160
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 9: Japan, we spend a lot of money on Japan, and

161
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 9: we've had that kind of a relationship, so I expect

162
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 9: I'm not surprised that they would step up.

163
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 2: We don't need much, we don't need anything.

164
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 8: I mean, honestly, we don't need anything from Japan or

165
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 8: from anyone else. But I think it's appropriate that people

166
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 8: step up. In the case of Japan, I hear they

167
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 8: get more than ninety percent of their oil through the Strait.

168
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: Now, there was a member of the Japanese Press Corps, Trump,

169
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 2: being magnanimous, said, you know what, all these American guys

170
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: are shopping and barking and popping off at the mouth.

171
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: He goes, why don't we let these very polite Japanese

172
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: press corps people have a question. How about you, sir?

173
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: You over there, and this happened in clip three.

174
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 4: Why didn't you tell us in Europe?

175
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 10: And guys are like to there about the wall before

176
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 10: they came out, so we are very confused about it.

177
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 11: Well, one thing, you.

178
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: Don't want to signal too much.

179
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 4: You know, when we go in, we went in very hard.

180
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise.

181
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 12: Who knows better about surprise than Japan He why didn't

182
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 12: you tell me about Pearl Harbor?

183
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 2: Is that not fantastic?

184
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 13: Now?

185
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 2: You people that would suggest Donald Trump has lost a step?

186
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: That's some pretty quick thinking guy says, why didn't you

187
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: tell us about going into Iran? He said, well, it's

188
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: the element of surprise. I'd think you people in Japan

189
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: know something about the element of surprise. You didn't pick

190
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: up the phone and call us when you hit Pearl

191
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: Harbor and the Japanese Prime Minister sitting I saw one.

192
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: Media outlets say she heaved a deep breath, a huge

193
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: sigh when he said it's not the way I interpreted.

194
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: She seems like she just loves the guy. She just

195
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: seems like she is over the moon when it comes

196
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: to President Trump. Now, it also came up this question

197
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: of oil refinery strikes, if Israel's doing that, and what

198
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 2: President Trump's reaction to that is. If so, let's take

199
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: that number five I did.

200
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: I told him don't do that, and he won't do that.

201
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: We didn't discuss, you know, we do. We're independent.

202
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 9: We get along great, it's coordinated, but on occasion he'll

203
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 9: do something and if I don't like it, and so

204
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 9: we're not doing that anymore.

205
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: Reminding everybody who's boss. And speaking of Daddy, Mark rut

206
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: Ruti Ruta, have we ever kind of ruling? How the

207
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: hell you say? That guy's name, the guy that runs NATO,

208
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: he's from the Netherlands. He's the guy that called Trump daddy.

209
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: Do you get a ruling on that?

210
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 14: Dad?

211
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: I think it's Ruta Ruta?

212
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 15: Yeah?

213
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: Are you tte routs Uta. He's the only guy internationally

214
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: that really has a fondness for Trump called him daddy.

215
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: Trump likes to remind everybody that he called him daddy.

216
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: Here's Mark Ruta talking about well, maybe some of the

217
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: NATO allies publicly aren't saying it, he knows damn good

218
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: And well, this is for everybody's good, certainly throughout Europe.

219
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 16: And number seven, what the US is doing at the

220
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 16: moment is degrading that capability of yourn and I think

221
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 16: that's very important. This is important for your PA security,

222
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 16: for the Middle East, it is vital for Israel itself.

223
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 16: Then when it comes to the Hormu strait, everybody agrees

224
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 16: this trait cannot stay closed. It has to open up

225
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 16: again as soon as possible. This is crucible royalty economy.

226
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 15: You know.

227
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: And that is really the interesting thing about this. And

228
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: it seems to upset some people. I've engaged back and

229
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: forth because President Trump, they say, is sending mixed signals

230
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: when he says that we need help and people should

231
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: want to pony up and help try to reopen the

232
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: strait of Horn moves because this is where they get

233
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 2: their energy. But at the same time, we don't need

234
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: anybody's help. And this makes some people mad. They say

235
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: he's got to figure out what his messaging is do

236
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: we need people's help or don't we He says both.

237
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: Does that bother somebody really got mad at me yesterday

238
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: that I don't hold him his feet to the fire

239
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: for making him pick a lane in that messaging.

240
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna say it doesn't bother me like that.

241
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 7: I understand Trump and the way Trump communicates for a

242
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 7: long time now. I think that there's there are messages

243
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 7: in the way he speaks. So he's just like, we

244
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 7: don't need anybody. We're America.

245
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: We can do it.

246
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 7: He's right, but the straight of hoorn moose thing is

247
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 7: a problem. And it's just like guys like NATO, just like,

248
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 7: are you going to do anything because I'm the one

249
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 7: who made you pony up right?

250
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 15: What like?

251
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 2: There's always messaging in the way the way he speaks.

252
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 2: His point is, of course, we have the physical capability

253
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: to do this ourselves. It would be very nice, because

254
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: you all benefit from what we're doing, if you could

255
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 2: assist us. We don't need you to. It would be

256
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: a nice gesture if you helped I it's pretty easy

257
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: to understand. Actually, it's not a matter of not having

258
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: the capability to do it. Eight five fives to go.

259
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 2: All the telephone number line Friday as we get going Pittsburgh,

260
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: the Great City of Pittsburgh has said we're hosting the

261
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: NFL drafts and asked such, we're not going to be

262
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 2: able to have school past Eddie. This story brought to

263
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: you by School Choice. The Pittsburgh Public School System said

264
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: they're going to operate remotely this next month April twenty

265
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: second through the twenty fourth, as the city prepares for

266
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 2: the draft. The superintendent of the school district said remote

267
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: learning will minimize disruptions and prioritize student learning. The draft

268
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: expected to draw half a million to seven hundred thousand visitors.

269
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: Officials also anticipate road closures, heightened security, parking restrictions in

270
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: and traffic in and around downtown, so asynchronous learning will

271
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: happen over three days. Ed can't handle being in class

272
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: when you've got the draft in town now.

273
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 7: And I feel bad for the kids because yes, it's

274
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 7: their education that will suffer. But I can't tell you

275
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 7: that I would be mad about it if I were

276
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 7: their age.

277
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: Chris, Well, No, the kids are thrilled. The kids are

278
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: absolutely sure. Any excuse, all right, let's do it. Open

279
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: line Friday off to the phones we go. We start

280
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: with Scott in California, we go all the way out west, which,

281
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: by the way, next Saturday, a week from tomorrow, we're

282
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,119
Speaker 2: going to be out there for the Unite Ie Patriots

283
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: rally with Jen Horn and my friends there in Ontario, California.

284
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: If you don't have your tickets eight seventy the answer,

285
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: I can't wait to meet you and say Hi, good morning, Scott,

286
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: how are you hey, Good.

287
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 14: Morning, Chris. You brought up Kathy Hochel talking about you know,

288
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 14: New Yorkers. If you don't agree with our policies, just leave.

289
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 14: What we're witnessing with the Caesar Chavez issue is the

290
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 14: same thing, but for labor unions right I think the

291
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 14: internal polling among union members is bad for Democrats right now,

292
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 14: and they understand, just like every other geopolitical history, labor

293
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 14: movement that gained political power for these Marxists and communists

294
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 14: and socialists throughout history, a few a period of time

295
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 14: went by where they didn't deliver on the promises and

296
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 14: they had to replace those people. That's what's happening right now.

297
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 14: The Democrats need people in these labor unions who are

298
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 14: going to be willing to deliver the bricks and the

299
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 14: gas masks for the cultural riots. And they also these

300
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 14: people that they want to bring in, these illegals, which

301
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 14: is already happening in California, by the way. They need

302
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 14: to bring these people in who aren't accustomed to owning

303
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 14: guns in their country and aren't accustomed to being able

304
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 14: to stand in the center of their small village and

305
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 14: voice their First Amendment rights.

306
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 11: They need these.

307
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 14: Subservient people to replace these traditional blue collar longshoremen and teamsters.

308
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 14: Because I'm positive eighty percent of the union members are

309
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 14: rejecting what the Democrats are espousing. I think they're for

310
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 14: the union of support.

311
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: So you believe that the old guard union folks that

312
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: would show up and have hey and ho ho, they're

313
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: no longer interested. So they need a bunch of illegals

314
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: who will take the cash, the cheap hourly rate whatever

315
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: it is Soros and others pay online to go out

316
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: and stage protests. That's what you think they're largely useful.

317
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 14: For exactly they have to continue their revolution to fundamentally

318
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 14: transform this country.

319
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: And he's a question, I don't know how close are

320
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: you to on Ontario. Are you far away from Ontario

321
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: or close close enough.

322
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 14: I'm close.

323
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 17: I'm right next to it.

324
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: Well, I tell you, do you happen to have plans

Speaker 2: Next next Saturday?

328
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 14: No, I'm the twenty eighth. I'm not doing anything.

Speaker 2: five fives to go. That's how you reach us. Looking

337
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: at Orlando, Florida this morning on the Salem News Channel.

338
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening on AM nine fifty there in Orlando. Well,

339
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 2: I guess it is hot out west. I just heard

340
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 2: this morning there already. I was listening to some morning report.

341
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 2: They're setting up cooling stations out west already. It's so

342
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: hot out there, ready for yeah, cooling stations. I just

343
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 2: heard in a news report this morning. You people out west,

344
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: I know that's not word we're looking at Orlando, but

345
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: it just made me. I think about summertime heat in Orlando.

346
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 2: I felt like the surface of the sun when I

347
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: visited Disney as a kid in Orlando. That's what made

348
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 2: me think of the heat. But I guess out there

349
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 2: out west, you guys in Arizona, southern California and Nevada,

350
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: you're really cook on already.

351
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 18: Whosh.

352
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: Anyway, Glad to have you along wherever you happen to be.

Speaker 2: to choose us too, if you don't catch the show live,

00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: you enjoyed, or you know, I didn't catch Tuesday show.

362
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: miss an episode The Chris Stigall Show, The Save America Act.

363
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: Eric Schmidt, Senator Missouri number eight, take a listen.

364
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 19: We just endure four years of the wildest open border.

365
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 19: In American history, millions and millions and millions and millions

366
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 19: of military aged men from one hundred and sixty different

367
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 19: countries flooded into this nation while Democrats cheered diversity and equity.

368
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 19: Now those same Democrats have the audacity to claim that

369
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 19: simply asking people to prove that their American citizens before

370
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 19: they register to vote is somehow voter repression. Voter suppression

371
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 19: because when citizenship becomes optional at the ballot box, the

372
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 19: republic itself becomes optional.

373
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 2: Of course, he's right, as I told you earlier, John

374
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: Thune says, nobody's going home until at least the Department

375
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: of Homeland Security is open. They're scheduled to go on

376
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: recess at the end of next week. I think CBS

377
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: News poll this morning requiring photo ID to vote and

378
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: proving citizenship to register both find wide and often bipartisan support.

379
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: They write, it is often Republicans driving the percentages of

380
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: those who think there is widespread fraud, and often think

381
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: it's specifically in cities and Democrat areas, but even then

382
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: it's not an overwhelming majority of them elsewhere, including among Democrats.

383
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: There's concern that proof of citizenship requirements will prevent eligible

384
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: citizens from voting, which is just stupid. Here's one of

385
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 2: easily the dumbest members of the United States Congress, Hawaiian

386
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: punch Punchy Maisie Herono in clip nine, trying to make

387
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: that point.

388
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 13: Non citizen voting in federal elections is already illegal.

389
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 4: It is a federal crime.

390
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 13: If a non citizen illegally votes in a federal election,

391
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 13: they could be prosecuted and even sentenced up to five

392
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 13: years in prison. Who's going to commit this kind of

393
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 13: fraud knowing that they could be in prison for five years?

394
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a smart argument. Who would commit a crime

395
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: knowing that there's punishment for crime?

396
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 16: Ed?

397
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: Isn't she genius? What a smart lady she is? Who

398
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 2: would commit crime when there's a law to prevent that crime?

399
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 7: I know, I know, it's not like we can just

400
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 7: pay people at skid Row or you know, at K

401
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 7: and A and Philly. You can't just walk down and say, hey,

402
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 7: can you please vote?

403
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: It's so stupid. Here's Bernie Bernie Moreno talking about DHS

404
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 2: funding and you know not not again. So we're talking

405
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 2: about two different things, but they're really part and parcel

406
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 2: of the same thing. The Save America Act, the Department

407
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 2: of Homeland Security, two different things, both equally important, neither happening.

408
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: Here's Bernie Marino number eleven. Let's take our paychecks away.

409
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 2: Let's prevent us from flying home, but we don't leave

410
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: if that means right through easter.

411
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 20: By the way, we do not leave this chamber, and

412
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 20: we do not get and we lose pay every day

413
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 20: that goes by until we've funded.

414
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 2: The whole thing is we could work it out.

415
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 14: Let's get the American people to understand we can get

416
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 14: things done.

417
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: Let's not absolutely forget DC.

418
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 14: Let's not leave this chamber the capital until we get

419
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 14: this done.

420
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 2: Eight five five Stigaul is how you reach us on

421
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 2: open line Friday to Detroit. It's Lawrence. Hey, Lawrence, glad

422
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 2: you called. Good morning, Welcome in.

423
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 11: Good morning, Chris. Can you hear me.

424
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 2: Loud and clear, sir? What's on your mind to day?

425
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 11: Okay?

426
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 15: How you doing today?

427
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: Great? Thank you?

428
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 11: Okay.

429
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 15: My comment is just okay, when they shut the government down,

430
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 15: they should pass the law that nobody gets paid. I

431
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 15: think this would motivate them to come up with solutions

432
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 15: much faster.

433
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: You mean, nobody in Congress should get paid? Right, Is

434
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: that what you mean?

435
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 11: Nobody the Senate nobody gets paid. But because they have

436
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 11: no compassion for the average American worker that when they

437
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 11: shut things down, they don't get paid, they are considered.

438
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 2: Lawrence, do you have is your job affiliated with government work?

439
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: Or do you have a private sector job?

440
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 15: No, so my job is not affiliated with government was.

441
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 11: But I just think it's just so crazy that they

442
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 11: do this and it's selfish.

443
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well no, I think most people share that

444
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: point of view. I heard the junior senator from Ohio,

445
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: I think it was this week say he's not taking

446
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: a paycheck as long as the government shut down. He

447
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: said he's forfeiting his check, and he encouraged Democrats to

448
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: do the same. He says he doesn't know of any

449
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 2: Democrats that are forgoing their paycheck. I don't know how

450
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 2: many Republicans are either. But Lawrence, I think most people

451
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: agree with you. If there are folks that we count

452
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: on to keep our airports running, our coastguard doing their work,

453
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: if they're not getting a check, we certainly don't need

454
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: a bunch of blow dried stuff shirt senators and dopes

455
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill getting their check with our tax dollars.

456
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 2: Thank you, Lawrence. Let's go to Peggy in Florida next. Peggy,

457
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 2: good morning, Thanks for waiting.

458
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 21: Hi, good morning to you.

459
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 2: What's on your mind?

460
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,239
Speaker 21: Yesterday? You had a lot of consternation about how Joe

461
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 21: Kent could have changed his mind, and it's being trotted

462
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 21: out as if it was Trump's behavior that caused him

463
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 21: to do that, when in fact, even though he's been

464
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 21: long as being military hero and grieving his military wife's death,

465
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 21: he has since remarried and his second wife has heavy

466
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 21: Islamist connections, and I thought that that should come out.

467
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 21: I heard that on a talk show that comes on

468
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 21: for three hours after yours on another network, where there

469
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,479
Speaker 21: was a deep dive done into his personal life and

470
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 21: it could explain a lot of his allegiance.

471
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 22: Yeah.

472
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: I think what interests me about the Joe Kent story

473
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: more than anything, Peggy, is if everything's equal and it's

474
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: just a jump ball, and we're all trying to make

475
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: sense of our efforts in Iran there and why am

476
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 2: I supposed to trust Joe Canter? Do I trust the

477
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: guy that has won three well, okay, two has technically

478
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: won two elections, I'd say three, But anyway, a guy

479
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: that just got seventy seven million votes for whom I

480
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: voted three times. Do I trust him as the commander

481
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: in You've to make a call. Or do I trust

482
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: a guy I've never heard of until earlier in the week,

483
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 2: a guy called Joe Kent. And I, you know, my

484
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: point of view is President Trump was elected as the

485
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 2: commander in chief. Until I see evidence to the contrary,

486
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 2: I trust his judgment, not a stranger i've never heard of,

487
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. That's kind of my basic

488
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: entry level point of view.

489
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 21: Can I add one happy thing? I'm in Florida. I

490
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 21: get a little crowded down here. Yesterday I saw my

491
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 21: first license tag from Oregon.

492
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Now does that here's it be truthful? Peggy?

493
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: Does that make you feel good that Oreganders are moving

494
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: into Florida? Or does that get you a little nervous

495
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: that maybe they'll pack their politics with them and change

496
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: your state.

497
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 21: So far they have I don't know about Oregon, but

498
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 21: so far the others have not. They're just so glad

499
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 21: not to pay taxes, they're not going to vote for

500
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 21: taxes at all.

501
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you, Peggy. Great to hear from you

502
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: this morning. Thank you for calling from Florida today. Speaking

503
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: up out there in the West. Six billionaires have now

504
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: fled California, not Oregon, but same deal. You know, Washington State.

505
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: They're passing a billionaire's tax. Their football team is already

506
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,239
Speaker 2: warning we may not get draft picks here. We mean

507
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: guys that want to hit the jackpot and play football.

508
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: They may I want to play for the Seahawks if

509
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: you do this anyway. As California weighs a five percent

510
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: wealth tax, six of the state's billionaires have left because

511
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: of it, taking with them a collective twenty seven billion

512
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: dollars in tax revenue. Is that stunning twenty seven billion? Soon,

513
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom's going to be on his knees like Kathy Hoagle.

514
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: Please come back, hok please come back. We're going to

515
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: talk to a governor, believe it or not, who's actually

516
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: actively working to take away the income tax and make

517
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 2: his state competitive. Imagine that there's another way forward. Gang.

518
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: I want to say thank you so much for your generosity.

519
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 2: Our Food for the Poor campaign is underway and you're

520
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: doing it. Gosh, not that I doubted it, but I'm

521
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: so inspired when you step up and do what you

522
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 2: do here again. We're trying to reach a forty thousand

523
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 2: dollars goal this year, and I think today we're going

524
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: to close and get to halfway the halfway mark in

525
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 2: two weeks because of your generosity. Karen from Las Vegas

526
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 2: made a donation today. White in Atlanta made a donation today.

527

Speaker 2: for the poor and most of all, the light of Christ,

539

Speaker 2: great Christian mission food for the poor moren a minute.

540
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: Good to be with you, Atlanta listening on AM nine twenty.

541
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening on great radio stations like it. We

542
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 2: call it open line Friday around here, your chance to

543
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: get in and talk about whatever you want. We call

544
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 2: it that because Rush started it so long ago, and

545
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 2: we miss him, and I miss him, and I think

546
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: about him almost every day and what he'd be thinking

547
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 2: and how he'd be talking about the events of the day.

548
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: In fact, somebody brought this up with me, remember who

549
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: it was, in conversation just yesterday, that the loss of

550
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: Rush is what sort of blew a hole in the

551
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 2: coalition of so many in media who I don't want

552
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: to say always thought alike but stayed focused on the

553
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 2: mission at hand. Rush was sort of the messaging general.

554
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I readily confess that most of my show

555
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: prep is he used to claim. Now, I've always done

556
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: a morning show, so my show would come on before his,

557
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: But I would immediately rush to the radio when my

558
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: show was over, just to test myself. Ed I've told

559
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: you that for years when Rush was alive, I used

560
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: to whenever I'd put a show to bed, I would

561
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: just wait until noon Eastern because I'd want to see

562
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: would Rush's take on some news item that I'd talked

563
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: about be the same as mine was, And if it was,

564
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: I was elated and I felt smart. And if he

565
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 2: came up with something, which nine times out of ten

566
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: he did that I completely didn't see coming. I would

567
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: get mad at myself. I say, ah, why didn't I

568
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: think of that? And if most talk show hosts are honest,

569
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: that was sort of the operating standard rush everybody listened

570
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 2: to for kinda Am I right on this? Am I

571
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: thinking about this clearly? Again, not to say everybody was

572
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: in lockstep, you know what I mean. But then we

573
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: lose him, and well, here we are the advent of

574
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: digital media and podcasting, and now there's a lot of

575
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: shooting inside the tent. There's not a lot of solidarity

576
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: and message, and people find themselves asking what's going on?

577
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: And all I can simply say to you is what's

578
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: going on is it's never been easier to be more informed,

579
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,719
Speaker 2: and there's frankly never been more people trying to compete

580
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: to get your attention. So while it is easier to

581
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: be informed, it is also easier to be misled. And

582
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 2: we make it a priority here on this show, obviously

583
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: not to mislead you, obviously to give you a point

584
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: of view, tell you what we believe we know given

585
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: the facts, as we know them. I thought Dan Bongino

586
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: actually said something really interesting yesterday. He made the point

587
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: that there's a lot of tune in tomorrow for the

588
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: real inside scoop. He called it black boxing. I know

589
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: the real story. I've called it, of course, revelation addiction,

590
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: and it's a business model. Tune in for the scoop. Well,

591
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 2: the news cycle is a fire hose of headlines and

592
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: hot takes, an outrage and distraction. Smart magapatriots know that

593
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: the real skill is not in consume more, it's separating

594
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: signal from noise. And what do I mean by signal?

595
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: I mean real actions that strengthen America and secure our

596
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: energy future and the liver for the people. As I

597
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: said earlier in the week, more simply, who's trying to

598
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 2: help look for the helpers, who's actually trying to advance

599
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: a goal? Versus the noise, the drama, the leaks, the beefs,

600
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 2: the infighting, the psychological operations meant to keep you angry, anxious,

601
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: while President Trump is actually on offense and winning, and

602
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: right now the signal is very loud. I recognize that,

603
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: and the signal is probably winning. If I were to

604
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 2: be fair in Iran. Trump's precision strikes on carg Island,

605
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 2: which is the regime's main oil export hub, and the

606
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: mind layer vessels are degrading it Ron's ability to threaten

607
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: the Strait of Horn moves and that makes for short

608
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: term viability volatility. That is one hundred percent true. It's

609
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: volatile out there, but the direction is unmistakable. Iran's terror

610
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: leverage is weakening and American leverage is rising. Venezuela, that's

611
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: another front. Almost nobody's talking about it anymore. Why because

612
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: Trump pragmatically eased the Pennsylvania So sorry, Pennsylvania. It's Friday, folks.

613
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: I've had a long week. The Venezuela oil company known

614
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: as PDVSA, the Venezuelan oil company there. Trump eased their

615
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: restrictions to bring more supply to market. That's boosting US

616
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: flexibility and easing price pressure long term. I realize everybody

617
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: doesn't feel it this week at this moment, but he's

618
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: moving heaven on Earth. He turned on more oil production

619
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: off the coast of California, using emergency declarations to do it.

620
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 2: But he's still meanwhile at home. The Save Act, which

621
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 2: we've discussed, charging forward fraud crackdowns intensify America first economics, tariffs,

622
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: low taxes, deregulation, rebuilding strength without apology. The progress on

623
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: this is not perfect. It's true. The markets are wobbly.

624
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: It's true. The cleanup from the Biden era continues. That's true.

625
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 2: But the trajectory is clear. President Trump is delivering proof.

626
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 2: The noise is widely overblown. The latest NBC News poll

627
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: showing among MAGA voters, people that identify themselves as make

628
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: America Great folks, president Trump has one hundred percent approval.

629
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: They could find virtually no disapproval amongst those who call

630
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 2: themselves MAGA. We played the clip for you yesterday Harriet

631
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: and the Vaudevillion at CNN. He said it was a

632
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 2: number that jumped off the screen. The base is locked in,

633
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: rock solid and growing. So there's a lot of noise.

634
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 2: There's a lot of grudges. There's a lot of smears

635
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: and outrage bait, foreign or domestic bombshells meant to hook

636
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: your emotion and hide the scoreboard. Don't fall for it.

637
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 2: Think like a winner. Ignore the circus. Watch what the

638
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 2: president is actually doing again. It's not flawless, but it's winning.

639
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: Hanged up what if the water in your home could

640
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: make your child sick. That's the reality for families across

641
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: Latin America and the Caribbean today. Mothers unbelievably walk miles

642
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 2: for unsafe water, Kids miss school, and then disease spreads.

643
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 2: Water is, of course, life, and without it everything begins

644
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: to fall apart. Now today, you can do something to

645
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 2: help change that. Your gift of just fifty dollars ensures

646
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 2: that two people have safe and living water in these regions.

647
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: A gift of a hundred dollars that's a family of

648
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 2: four transformed through food for the poor our partners. When

649
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: you give a gift, you're providing safe and living water,

650
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 2: protecting kids, and restoring dignity to families, and bringing the

651
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 2: hope of Christ to communities and need. When clean water flows,

652
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 2: sickness declines, kids can return to school and their hope rises.

653

00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: at the Herzog Foundation, as we celebrate two hundred and

694
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,279

697
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty years ago. Take a listen.

698
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 18: Welcome to Faith and Freedom to fifty, a video series

699
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 18: from the Herzog Foundation exploring how faith shaped the American story.

700
00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 18: I'm Darryl Jones. Today's episode highlights a constant in our

701
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 18: nation's history from the Revolution to today, prayer in wartime.

702
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: You'll hear from voices.

703
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 18: Of different generations as they reflect on how prayer shape

704
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 18: the hearts of leaders, soldiers, and citizens alike. Let's begin.

705
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 23: Petitioning a greater power in times of strife is as

706
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 23: old as recorded history. The Bible, oral traditions, and written

707
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 23: histories are filled with examples of leaders, armies, and people

708
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 23: praying to God during times of war. Prayer can add

709
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 23: righteousness to a cause, it can strengthen the spirit of

710
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 23: those in conflict, and it can comfort the vulnerable, the injured,

711
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 23: and the dying.

712
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 1: Prayer is a powerful thing.

713
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 5: Americans throughout history have not been strangers to prayer.

714
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: In wartime.

715
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 5: Presidents, generals, and everyday soldiers have turned to prayer when

716
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 5: faced with great odds, uncertainty, or tragedy. As with most

717
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 5: accounts of American history, this story starts with the American

718
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 5: Revolution and with George Washington as the commander in chief

719
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 5: of the American military Forces. General Washington routinely called for

720
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 5: his troops.

721
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 2: To offer their prayers.

722
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 5: After the Second Continental Congress proclaimed a day of public humiliation, fasting,

723
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 5: and prayer be observed by the English colonies. On Thursday

724
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 5: July twentieth, seventeen seventy five, Washington, in his role as

725
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 5: military commander, ordered the Continental Army.

726
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 1: To observe this day of prayer.

727
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 5: This marked the beginning of a tradition of national prayer

728
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 5: by Americans. In a similar order on July ninth, the

729
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 5: following year, just days after the Declaration of Independence was signed,

730
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 5: Washington wrote, quote, the General hopes and trust that every

731
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 5: officer and man will endeavor so to live and act

732
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 5: as becomes a Christian soldier defending the dearest rights and

733
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 5: liberties of his country.

734
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 4: End quote.

735
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 24: One of the most enduring images from the Revolution is

736
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 24: George Washington kneeling in prayer at Valley Forge during the

737
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 24: harsh winter of seventeen seventy seven and seventeen seventy eight,

738
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 24: although there is no contemporary evidence to suggest that such

739
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 24: a scene ever actually happened. By the early nineteenth century,

740
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 24: similar images became extremely popular in the United States as

741
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 24: the young nation was losing the very last members of

742
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 24: its revolutionary era generation. Whether true or not, this image

743
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 24: is part of our collective identity and indicate strongly the

744
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 24: great importance of prayer in our founding story.

745
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 5: During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln called on the

746
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 5: nation to observe several days in prayer and thanksgiving for

747
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 5: both the successes and defeats of the conflict. Lincoln, a

748
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 5: great orator, often used biblical texts and language to frame

749
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 5: the cause of the war. The most poignant example of

750
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 5: Lincoln's style is found in his second inaugural address, delivered

751
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 5: on March fourth, eighteen sixty five, just weeks before his

752
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 5: assassin nation. As his speech drew to a close, he invoked,

753
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 5: in the form of a prayer, the help of.

754
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 18: The Almighty to end the war.

755
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 5: He said, fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray

756
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 5: that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet,

757
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 5: if God wills, let it continue until all the wealth

758
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 5: piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of

759
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 5: unequal toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of

760
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 5: blood drawn with the last shall be paid by another

761
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 5: drawn with the sword. As was said three thousand years ago.

762
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 5: So still it must be said, the judgments of the

763
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 5: Lord are true and righteous, altogether, with malice toward none,

764
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 5: with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as

765
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 5: God gives us to see the right. Let us strive

766
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 5: on to finish the work we are in, to bind

767
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 5: up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall

768
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 5: have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan,

769
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 5: to do all which may achieve and cherish a just

770
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 5: and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

771
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: End quote.

772
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 5: Throughout that conflict, chaplains were present amongst the troops fighting

773
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 5: on both sides of the line, Union and Confederate.

774
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 23: By the turn of the twentieth century, prayer books had

775
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 23: become a general issue item given to military forces. This

776
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 23: provided an opportunity for prayer to every combatant, whether a.

777
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: Chaplain was present or not.

778
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 23: When our nation found itself embroiled in the Great War

779
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 23: and fighting, this time for the freedom of our allies

780
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 23: in Europe, President Woodrow Wilson declared a national Day of

781
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 23: Prayer on May thirtieth, nineteen eighteen. His statement was similar

782
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 23: to those decreed by Washington and Lincoln. Wilson called upon

783
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 23: the nations, dating a day already freighted with sacred and

784
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 23: stimulating memories, a day of public humiliation, prayer, and fasting.

785
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 23: And do exhort my fellow citizens of all faiths and

786
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 23: creeds to assembol on that day and their several places

787
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 23: of worship, and there as well as in their homes,

788
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 23: to pray Almighty God, that He may forgive our sins

789
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 23: and shortcomings as a pupil and puri for our hearts

790
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 23: to see and love the truth, to accept and defend

791
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 23: all things that are just and right, and to purpose

792
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 23: only those righteous acts and judgments which are in conformity

793
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 23: with His will, beseeching him that he will give victory

794
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 23: to our armies as they fight for freedom, wisdom to

795
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 23: those who take counsel on our behalf in these days

796
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 23: of dark struggle and perplexity, and said fastness to our

797
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 23: people to make sacrifice to the utmost in support of

798
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 23: what is just and true, bringing us at last the

799
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,959
Speaker 23: peace in which men's hearts can be at rest because

800
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 23: it is founded upon mercy, justice.

801
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 4: And good will.

802
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 23: Wilson used religious language to cast the battles in Europe

803
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 23: in the context of a moral crusade pitting good against evil.

804
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 24: A generation later, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt employed his radio

805
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 24: address not only to ask the.

806
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: Nation to pray, but he also prayed with them.

807
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 24: On his d Day address of June sixth, nineteen forty four,

808
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 24: he led Americans in this prayer, Almighty God, our sons,

809
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 24: pride of our nation, this day have set upon a

810
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 24: mighty endeavor to set free a suffering humanity. Lead them

811
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 24: straight and true, Give strength to their arms, stoutness to

812
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 24: their hearts, steadfastness in their faith. They fight not for

813
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 24: the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They

814
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 24: fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and

815
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 24: tolerance and good among all thy people. They yearn but

816
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 24: for the end of battle, for their return to the

817
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 24: haven of home.

818
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: Some will never return.

819
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 24: Embrace these father, and receive them, thy heroic servants into

820
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 24: thy kingdom.

821
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 1: Thy will be done, Almighty God. Amen.

822
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 24: During World War II and the Korean w War which

823
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 24: soon followed, the Chaplain Corps found itself routinely on the

824
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 24: front line, applying not only prayer and comfort to the soldiers,

825
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 24: but also care and treatment for the wounded or dying.

826
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 24: For many of the casualties of both wars, the prayers

827
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,479
Speaker 24: of their brothers were among the last words they heard.

828
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 5: By the time the American military was involved in Vietnam,

829
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 5: prayers stateside were delivered for peace and the end of

830
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 5: that conflict. Many of the prayers were simply for the

831
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 5: safe return home for those overseas.

832
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 23: In the twenty first century, Americans have not been strangers

833
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 23: to conflict. Immediately following the attacks in our nation, on

834
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 23: September eleventh, two thousand and one, President George W.

835
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: Bush called for another National Day of Prayer.

836
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 23: Speaking from the National Cathedral, he implored that we come

837
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 23: before God to pray for the missing dead and for

838
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 23: those who loved them. This nation is peaceful, but fierce

839
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 23: when stirred to anger. In every generation the world has

840
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 23: produced enemies of freedom. They have attacks in America because

841
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 23: we are Freedom's home and defender. May He bless the

842
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 23: souls of the departed, May He comfort our own, and

843
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 23: may He always guide our nation.

844
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 24: God bless America and farther down the ranks.

845
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: God only knows the multitude of prayers.

846
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,720
Speaker 24: Offered by those preparing for or in battle, to guide

847
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 24: and protect them and their brothers during battle.

848
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: To see them through their darkest hours of fear and uncertainty.

849
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 24: These prayers, known only to God, bolstered the resolve of

850
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 24: many and comforted hearts and minds of many. Many more,

851
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 24: and also not to be forgotten where the prayers offered

852
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 24: daily on the home front. Churches and religious groups offered

853
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 24: prayers as part of worship services. Schools, civic organizations and

854
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 24: groups included prayers for troops routinely in the meetings and businesses.

855
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 24: Families prayed for their own and neighbors in harm's way.

856
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 24: These two are powerful examples of the great power of prayer.

857
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 18: From the Revolution to today, the American story is marked

858
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 18: by mo wints of prayer in times of war. Some

859
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 18: were spoken from pulpits, some from trenches, some from kitchen tables,

860
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 18: but all pointed to a higher hope. Thanks for watching

861
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 18: Faith in Freedom two fifty. I'm Daryl Jones with the

862
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 18: Herzog Foundation. We'll see you next time as we continue

863
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 18: exploring the powerful connection between faith and American history.

864
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 2: Open Line Friday continues. We head to Bradenton, Florida and

865
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: talk to Robert, who's been waiting patiently. Hey Robert, good morning,

866
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 2: welcome in, Hey, good morning.

867
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 25: Hey, My wiener dog named Chris started those rough shoes

868
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,479
Speaker 25: about I don't know, six eight weeks ago, and there's

869
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 25: a considerable difference. Man, the money I was spending on

870
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 25: on stuff to keep him from itching and the grass

871
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 25: seed that I was using to patch up my lawn

872
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 25: every time he did his business had burned the grass.

873
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 11: So he loves him.

874
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 2: Man.

875
00:47:58,080 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 25: It's a good product.

876
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 2: So you're noticing even that burned grass problem that's gone

877
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 2: away with rough greens.

878
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 25: Yeah, huh, Yeah, I'm saving some money by feeding him

879
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 25: the rough shoes, but they're they're good, hey, in light

880
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 25: of in light of Russia's Friday, he used to really

881
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 25: talk Paul Harvey and I grew up as a little boy.

882
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 25: My grandfather had an AM radio in the garage and

883
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 25: it was on twenty four hours a day, long before

884
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 25: it became you know, national propaganda radio. But you played

885
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 25: a clip from j d Vance this morning about millions

886
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 25: and millions and millions of immigrants that poured across the border.

887
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 25: And I think that Republicans and conservatives we should get

888
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 25: back to messaging instead of responding, because responding gets you

889
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 25: caught up in that Epstein crap, and messaging gets you

890
00:48:54,840 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 25: communicating to people that Alejandro majorcis intentionally gutted our southern

891
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 25: and border and is responsible, personally responsible for tens of

892
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 25: thousands of rapes and sexual assaults against girls against children

893
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 25: on that southern border. They knew about it, they had

894
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 25: the intel, and they turned away. And I can't think

895
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 25: for the life of me, why we're not just putting

896
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 25: the obvious out there instead of responding to the garbage.

897
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 25: And I think you do a really good good job

898
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 25: on your show of that, and I'll continue listening.

899
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 2: Brother hey Man. First of all, thank you. I appreciate that.

900
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 2: Thanks very much for the phone call. That's awesome to hear.

901
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 2: And I couldn't agree with you more. Being on offense

902
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 2: and telling the story is what's so important. He's referring

903
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 2: to a clip I played from Missouri Senator Eric Schmid.

904
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 2: It was not JD. Van's, but it was Eric Schmid

905
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 2: of Missouri, the senator on the floor talking about the

906
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 2: pouring of millions and millions of illegals unvetted across our

907
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 2: wide open southern border, reminding people from where we came.

908
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 2: I just saw a story this morning to that point,

909
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 2: do you know, And again, you'd be forgiven if you didn't,

910
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 2: because there are very few places that will actually tell

911
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 2: you this. There has been a four hundred and ninety

912
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: percent surge in the arrest of child predators. The FBI

913
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 2: just released those numbers yesterday, a four hundred and ninety

914
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 2: percent surge in the arrest of child predators and sixty

915
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: two hundred children missing children have been returned to their homes.

916
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 2: Did you know that in just the last year, sixty

917
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 2: two hundred kids missing have been returned. Four hundred and

918
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 2: ninety percent surge in the arrest of child predators. That

919
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 2: is one of those things that yes, should be discussed

920
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 2: and Republicans should talk about and should sell. And I

921
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 2: couldn't agree with Robert Moore. I got not a ton

922
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 2: of time, but Roy and Dallas, it's yours if you've

923
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 2: got it.

924
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:52,240
Speaker 26: Good morning, Today's fire brawl Firecracker Friday. As usual.

925
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 10: I'd like to cover what that gentleman also covered in

926
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 10: regard to my orcus. We cannot leave out the border

927
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 10: Queen's are Kamala Harris, She was also involved in that.

928
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah as well. All right, that's a great point. Hang

929
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 2: on just a second, because I was going to try

930
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 2: to rush it but I don't think we're going to

931
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 2: get it done, So don't go anywhere, Roy. We'll try

932
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 2: to get you in on the other side here on

933
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 2: the Stagall Show. It's open line Friday. Come on in

934
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 2: Well in the middle of the country, the state of Missouri,

935
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 2: the show me state. A couple of very interesting things

936
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 2: have unfolded. There's been a lot of talk about in

937
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 2: Virginia and California and redistricting. Missouri has redistricted too, and

938
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 2: of course Democrats immediately challenged it in court, and a

939
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 2: court just affirmed what Missouri has done in redrawing their

940
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,439
Speaker 2: congressional districts. And to top all that off, the state

941
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 2: of Missouri is doing something interesting. You know, we've been

942
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 2: talking about how blue states are losing populations. Governor Kathy

943
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 2: Hochel famously said, I just played the clip for you yesterday.

944
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 2: We need you rich people to come back from Florida

945
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 2: because we don't have any money to spend in New York.

946
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 2: Without you, people are leaving high tax states. So Governor keyho,

947
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 2: the fifty eighth governor of Missouri, is also moving to

948
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 2: make Missouri the latest state to say no more income taxes.

949
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 2: Huge if it happens at passed their house. We thought

950
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 2: it was an interesting story and wanted to bring him

951
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 2: in to talk about it. Governor Keyho of Missouri, good

952
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 2: to have you, sir. Good morning, Hey Chris, good morning.

953
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 27: Thank you for having me on you bet congratulations first

954
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 27: of all on the most recent news, which is this

955
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 27: passage at least through one chamber of no income tax

956
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 27: in Missouri.

957
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 2: This is a game changer for the state if it

958
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 2: happens well.

959
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 20: I truly do believe it is. I mean it's multiple things. Missourians.

960
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 20: If this plan can get forward and Missourian's choose to

961
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 20: approve it, could be as much as nine billion dollars

962
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 20: every year back into Missourian's pockets. I mean, that's real money.

963
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 20: And we think Missourians can spend their money better than

964
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 20: any elected official. And that's not a shot elected officials.

965
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 20: I'll include myself in that. I trust Missourians to make

966
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 20: choices with their money. It makes the state competitive. You

967
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 20: just had on your intro talked about other states and

968
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 20: the competitive advantage they have. We have tons of statistics

969
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 20: I can walk you through on what those look like.

970
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 20: So being competitive, letting Missouri make choices with their wallet

971
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 20: and what they want to spend things on. I think

972
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 20: really is what the American dream is all about.

973
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 2: In fact, I'll tell you, Governor, if we could Paulie

974
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 2: start to call an audible on you. I don't know

975
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 2: if you're able to. Can we find eighty nine clip

976
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 2: eighty nine because we played this on the show yesterday

977
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 2: of Governor Kathy Hokeel. Here's what she had to say

978
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 2: about all the wealthy people that have left the state

979
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 2: of New York. Take a listen to this.

980
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 28: I need people who are high net worth to support

981
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 28: the generous social programs that we want to have in

982
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 28: our state. Right now, there are some patriotic millionaires who

983
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 28: stepped up.

984
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: Okay, caught me the checks.

985
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 28: I mean, just if you want to be supportive, but

986
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 28: maybe the first step should we go down to Palm

987
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 28: Beach and see what you can.

988
00:53:58,080 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: Bring back home.

989
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 2: Governor Keiho your reaction to Governor Hokal of New York.

990
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,720
Speaker 20: My kids do this to me all the time, Chris.

991
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 20: They text me something that says L O L And

992
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 20: that's what I was doing when you're playing that clip.

993
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 20: You know, it's ridiculous. We're not a socialist society. We

994
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 20: are a society of democratic capitalism that rewards success, it

995
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 20: doesn't punish success. And you know that over the last

996
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 20: ten years, a non income tax growth has been eleven

997
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 20: point eight percent, or high tax state growth has been

998
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 20: under five percent. It's the numbers are crystal clear. There

999
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 20: is no debating this issue. We have one hundred years

1000
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 20: of history to tell you that states that have aggressive

1001
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 20: tax policies that allow their citizens to make choices and

1002
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 20: spend those moneys grow at a much faster rate than

1003
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 20: states that are burdensome, like New York. You just heard

1004
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 20: state of Washington is imposing a new in tax on people.

1005
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 20: I mean it's the folks that are on the left

1006
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 20: who think that your money is their money have the

1007
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 20: wrong picture. I've worked very hard my entire life, thirty

1008
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 20: five years of small business to get where I've gotten to.

1009
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 20: So have thousands and hundreds of thousands of people across

1010
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 20: this country and in the state of Missouri. They should

1011
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 20: be rewarded for their efforts and let them make the

1012
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 20: decision on what efforts and charities they want to support.

1013
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 26: Not government.

1014
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 2: Governor Mike Keyho of Missouri is with us. What is

1015
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 2: the process is that I think I heard you say

1016
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 2: Missourians will have to actually vote on eliminating their income tax.

1017
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 2: Is that right?

1018
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 10: That's correct.

1019
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 2: It's a two step process.

1020
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 20: And you mentioned the resolutions that just went through the

1021
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 20: Missouri House on a very solid vote just a week ago.

1022
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 20: Now we'll go over to the Missouri Senate that will

1023
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 20: put a question in front of Missourians this fall that

1024
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:56,760
Speaker 20: will say should Missouri eliminate the income tax and replace

1025
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 20: it by updating a tax code that was developed in

1026
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 20: nineteen thirties. It is clearly outdated and not does not

1027
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 20: fit today's economy, and we think this is a responsible measure.

1028
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 20: We would not be like Kansas where we drive the

1029
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 20: state into a dish. We would actually have a responsible

1030
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 20: kind of a ramp or over the period of years,

1031
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 20: every time we made sure the revenues were there to

1032
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 20: support important programs public safety, education, et cetera. That Missourian's

1033
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 20: tax bracket would, our tax percentage would lower, and over time,

1034
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 20: and we think in somewhere between three to five years,

1035
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 20: we would have a new tax code in place and

1036
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 20: Missourians would be paying zero income tax. And again that

1037
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 20: zero income tax means nine billion dollars with a bee

1038
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 20: back into their pockets every year.

1039
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 2: Governor, this is always something I hear that comes up

1040
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 2: whenever you talk about doing a way with income tax

1041
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,240
Speaker 2: is at the federal level or at the state level.

1042
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 2: Immediately people say, but what about the poor, what about

1043
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 2: the needy, what about the elderly? What are you going

1044
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 2: to do to make up that revenue? People will shout,

1045
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 2: and they'll immediately say, you're going to start making everything

1046
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 2: more expensive for the everyday items that poor people and

1047
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 2: older people and fixed incomes have to buy. What do

1048
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 2: you say to that, Well, let me.

1049
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 20: Tell you, I come from a very poor family upbringing.

1050
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 20: I think most people who know my story know that,

1051
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 20: so I'm very sensitive to that. But every data point

1052
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 20: we've looked at Chris from a low earnings income earner,

1053
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 20: by the time you give them their income tax back,

1054
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 20: if the sales tax base is widened, even if it

1055
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 20: went up a little bit, just to be conservative, they

1056
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 20: still net gain money in the pocket. For our seniors,

1057
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 20: the biggest piece that they pay right now is their

1058
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 20: personal property tax and real estate tax. This is the

1059
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 20: only plan out there that allows counties to roll back

1060
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 20: those assessments so that they don't have a windfall from

1061
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 20: a new sales tax code that could actually help seniors.

1062
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 20: So this is more predictable. And most of all, lets

1063
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 20: Missourians decide where they're going to spend their money. In

1064
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 20: a fixed percentage of income tax, you have no choice.

1065
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 25: Every dollar, every year, you.

1066
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 20: Have no choice. It goes exactly right to the government.

1067
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 20: A consumption tax let citizens decide what they buy, and

1068
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 20: that gives families direct control over their tax exposure. A

1069
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 20: consumption based system collects revenue from tourists and out of

1070
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 20: state visitors, so we get a bump from that. There's

1071
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 20: a percentage of our sales tax that's not paid by Missourian,

1072
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 20: so we have other people helping support those expenses. Again,

1073
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 20: every state you look at that has us in place,

1074
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 20: it's a win win and certainly they're working for like

1075
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 20: my family was when I was growing up, have not

1076
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 20: been effected. Adversely, I would argue they actually gain more

1077
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 20: in their pockets.

1078
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 2: My keyhole governor of Missouri. One thing you can't argue

1079
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 2: is the success of states like Florida and Tennessee. For instance,

1080
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 2: I was just in Nashville a few weeks ago. As

1081
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 2: you know, Oracles Global headquarters are moving there. I mean

1082
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 2: that city is booming. It has the tax structure that

1083
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 2: you're talking about, you'd like to see right now and clearly.

1084
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 2: I mean I have some in laws just in my

1085
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 2: own family that are packing up from suburban Chicago and

1086
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 2: moving to Tennessee. I mean it works in Florida, same story.

1087
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 20: Well, let me just tell you. The IRS just updated

1088
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 20: their data on gross income. For a five year period

1089
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 20: seventeen to twenty two, Missouri had a net outflow of

1090
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 20: five over five million dollars in a gross adjusted gross income.

1091
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 20: Tennessee gained forty four million. We had an outflow of

1092
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 20: over five Tennessee gained forty four point seven million. Those

1093
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 20: are the statistics. You just can't get away from those.

1094
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 20: And you're right when you live in a state where

1095
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 20: tax policy in our case, we believe tax policy and

1096
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 20: unburdened and burden some regulations, getting them out of the

1097
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 20: way of businesses and citizens. That's how an economy grows,

1098
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 20: you know, Chris, just it wasn't too long ago. Thirty

1099
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 20: forty years Missouri had sixteen congressional seats. We have eight now,

1100
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 20: when don't we I'm going to stop this madness. We

1101
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 20: need to grow our economy. We need to grow our population.

1102
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 20: My wife and I are the father of parents of four.

1103
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 20: We want our kids to stay here. We want other

1104
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 20: Missourians kids to stay here. We want people to move here.

1105
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 26: This is the way to do that.

1106
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 2: Speaking of congressional seats, before I let you run, you

1107
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 2: have successfully redrawn your map there and a judge affirmed it.

1108
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 2: As we talk about the political battle this fall, a

1109
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 2: lot of people upset with Abigail Spanberger, the new governor

1110
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 2: of Virginia, and what she's done there in Virginia. Is

1111
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 2: it any different than what you've done in Missouri. I

1112
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 2: mean it's sort of. I guess the state's prerogative is

1113
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 2: the point?

1114
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 20: Well, we think that the Missouri First map matches Missouri's values.

1115
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 20: You know, over ninety percent of our courthouses are Republican

1116
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 20: elected officials, and so drawing a map that matches what

1117
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 20: Missourians think, our values, our family Christian values, we think

1118
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 20: makes sense. The legislative thought it made sense. Yes, we've

1119
01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 20: had one good ruling on this. There's more to go,

1120
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 20: but the wind.

1121
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 29: Is at our back.

1122
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 20: We think that's good to let Missourians have the option

1123
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 20: to make sure the representation we have in Washington, d C.

1124
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 20: Matches who Missourians are. Look, everybody can turn on the

1125
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 20: TV or google ho team Jeffries if he became the

1126
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 20: Speaker of the House, his values and the state he's

1127
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 20: from in New York, where a socialist mayor has been elected,

1128
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 20: do not match Missouri's values. And so we think the

1129
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 20: Missouri First Map matches that. And we're excited to try

1130
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 20: to get work through the process and have an election

1131
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 20: this fall where we can have a shot at having

1132
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 20: congressional seats match our values.

1133
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 2: Bolly, I tell you what I cannot wait to see

1134
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 2: the people of Missouri get to vote on whether or

1135
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 2: not to get rid of the income tax any just

1136
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 2: briefly a couple of seconds, Governor, do you have any

1137
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 2: reason to think voters wouldn't overwhelmingly support that?

1138
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 20: Well, all the data we've seen shows it would be

1139
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 20: very widely supported Missouri. And you know, when you break

1140
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 20: the data down, the lower income class is supported even

1141
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 20: more than the higher income classes. I've heard people say, oh,

1142
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 20: this is just a tax cut for the REGI No,

1143
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 20: it's for everybody. If you make nine thousand dollars or

1144
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 20: more in Missouri, you're paying income tax.

1145
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 2: Governor Keiho, good luck to you man. Anytime you can

1146
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 2: tell the constituents of your state we're going to tax

1147
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 2: you less. I'm for it. We appreciate your time, sir.

1148
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 2: Come back and see us all right, brother, thank you

1149
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 2: so much for having me on, of course, and another

1150
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 2: weekend upon us here before you start to wind down

1151
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 2: for the next couple of days. If you get a

1152
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 2: chance to, I hope you do. I want to take

1153
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 2: a quick moment to tell you why I need your help.

1154
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 2: In our campaign to help Food for the Poor, they

1155
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 2: rush clean living water to thirsty kids throughout the poorest

1156
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 2: countries in our hemisphere, like in Colombia. Clean water has

1157
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 2: reached critical level in terms of access, kids getting sick

1158
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 2: from bad quality water and your donations making it possible.

1159
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 2: Our friends at Christian nonprofit Food for the Poor do this.

1160
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 2: They deliver whope in the poorest remote areas. In fact,

1161
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 2: Norma is a grateful mom who wanted to extend her

1162
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 2: personal thanks to you for your generosity thus far. Take

1163
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 2: a listen.

1164
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 30: They found a way to keep giving us wherever we

1165
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 30: need in order to have something. Thank you very much.

1166
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 30: I don't have the words to say enough thank you,

1167
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 30: because at least we have something and I thank the donors,

1168
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 30: especially that you never forget about us. I don't know

1169
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 30: how to say, but thank you, God, bless you, and

1170
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 30: please keep helping me.

1171
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 2: All you have to do there you go. All you

1172
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 2: have to do is go to christigall dot com and

1173
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 2: make it a generous gift of any amount to help

1174
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 2: thirsty boys and girls right here in our hemisphere. There

1175
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 2: is a banner at the top of my homepage. It

1176
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,960

1182
01:03:59,120 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 31: You can.

1183
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 2: Leave your name in your town so that I can

1184
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 2: see who you are. I would love to say hi

1185
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 2: to you here on the show this morning or phone

1186
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:08,439
Speaker 2: eight five, five three thirty forty six seventy three moren

1187
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 2: a minute in a million years? Can you imagine owning

1188
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 2: a small business and a high profile person comes into

1189
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 2: your restaurant and you throw them out. Now, I'm not

1190
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 2: a small business guy, I'll confess, but I cannot imagine

1191
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 2: a situation. No matter who it was, if it was

1192
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 2: a high profile person, even somebody I really stridently disagreed

1193
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 2: with her, didn't like ed. Can you imagine throwing them

1194
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 2: out of the restaurant that you're running, if your own private,

1195
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 2: small business and some I don't know, let's say it's

1196
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 2: Barack Obama, somebody I just don't have any time for

1197
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 2: it all politically. But he came walking in to have

1198
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 2: a sandwich. Would it be wise to throw him out

1199
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 2: and make a big public scene of it. No?

1200
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 7: No, And I wouldn't do that to Josh Shapiro, my

1201
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 7: governor here in PA. I've seen him a lot in

1202
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 7: different places, and I'd wanted to throw him out, But no,

1203
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 7: I wouldn't do it.

1204
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do it. Well, it's just stupid. There's a

1205
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 2: place called the crosso To Ree in Little Rock, Arkansas,

1206
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 2: and they apparently got very upset the owners did when

1207
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 2: they saw that their governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, walked in

1208
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 2: to have lunch with a couple of her friends. They

1209
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 2: released a lengthy statement and admitted that yes, they told

1210
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 2: the governor and her party to leave, while offering a

1211
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 2: handringing explanation about being surprised and uncertain how best to respond,

1212
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 2: admitting that they ultimately did make the decision to support

1213
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 2: our employees and guests who expressed they were uncomfortable the

1214
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 2: croissanterree in Little Rock, Arkansas. So I know we're never

1215
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 2: to eat if I'm ever in Little Rock, by the way.

1216
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 2: But Jonathan Turley wrote it this way. He said, this

1217
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 2: restaurant founded by a couple of people called Jill McDonald

1218
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 2: and Wendy Shay, executive chef and pastry chef. He said,

1219
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 2: We've seen various restaurants refuse to serve Trump supporters Conservatives,

1220
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 2: even those deemed allies. Democrat members of Congress have defended

1221
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 2: these actions and even encourage liberals to disrupt meals of conservatives.

1222
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 2: Liberals went to social media to celebrate the move of

1223
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 2: the restaurant. One employee from the restaurant posting and I quote,

1224
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 2: good morning, Sarah Huckaby Sanders. No amount of evil you

1225
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 2: send our way can ever take our smiles away. I'm

1226
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 2: proud to work here, I'm proud to be gay, and

1227
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 2: proud to be in our cans, and my voice matters.

1228
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 2: Try again, what the hell does it even mean, Eddie?

1229
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 2: What does him being gay have to do with the

1230
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 2: governor and her friends coming in to have a.

1231
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 7: Lunch, Absolutely nothing.

1232
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 24: That's a you.

1233
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 7: If you're saying that that's a problem, that's a you problem.

1234
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 2: Right, Why would you even bring that up? I mean,

1235
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 2: you can say I don't like you, I don't like

1236
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 2: your positives gay? What is it? Did they come up? Anyway?

1237
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 7: Leftists come up with the most ridiculous things I've ever

1238
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 7: heard in my life.

1239
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 2: Huckaby said in my book or Excuse Me? Writing about Huckabee,

1240
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 2: Jonathan Turley said, in my book The Indispensable Right free

1241
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 2: Speech in an Age of Rage, and is his book

1242
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 2: Rage in the Republic, I discuss what is called the

1243
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 2: age of rage. Rage is a curious emotion. He says,

1244
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 2: it is the ultimate release. It allows you to do

1245
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 2: things and say things you would not otherwise do or say.

1246
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 2: That's why it's addictive and contagious. What people will not

1247
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 2: admit is that they like it. It allows them to

1248
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 2: hate completely, to dispense with notions of decency or civility.

1249
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 2: This restaurant yielded to hate and intolerance to appease not

1250
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 2: only its employees but the radical left. Democrat leaders believe

1251
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 2: that they can fuel this rage addiction and lead the

1252
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 2: mob to victory in the midterm elections. The cost is

1253
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 2: also to fuel the product of rage, including political violence.

1254
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 2: For all of their superficial expressions of reluctance, the owners

1255
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 2: of this restaurant chose hate over tolerance. While claiming to

1256
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 2: be uncertain about how best to respond, The answer was

1257
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 2: obvious for anyone with a sense of decency, everyone, regardless

1258
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 2: of your political differences. Food, like music, allows people to

1259
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 2: come together. Turtlie says it this way in summary, I

1260
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 2: truly believe that this age of rage will end as

1261
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 2: prior such age as ended. Eventually, the rage burns off

1262
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 2: and people recognize that their hatred has twisted them into

1263
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 2: grotesque figures. To reach that point, however, we must learn

1264
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 2: to again speak to each other and tolerate those with

1265
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 2: whom we disagree. To put it simply, we have to

1266
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 2: break bread with one another and consider what we have

1267
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 2: in common. I don't know that people come to their

1268
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 2: senses and ultimately realize I've become a ugly, grotesque person

1269
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 2: with all the rage I'm carrying around. I do know this.

1270
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 2: If you spend any time in the written word of God,

1271
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,679
Speaker 2: if you walk with Jesus, and you're doing it well

1272
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 2: and right, and you're regularly communing with Him in prayer.

1273
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 2: I don't know how you can be furious. I don't

1274
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 2: know how you can carry yourself with a sense of rage.

1275
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 2: Even the most vicious of leftist who screams and yells

1276
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:01,720
Speaker 2: at me, I find it almost impossible to get my

1277
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 2: blood pressure up anymore. It doesn't work on me the

1278
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 2: way it used to, because I have found a true

1279
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 2: sense of peace in Jesus that cannot be stolen from

1280
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 2: me simply because of somebody's vicious politics. It just doesn't.

1281
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 2: It doesn't happen. It bubbles up on occasion, but it's rare.

1282
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 2: For instance, when Don Lemon storms into a church, I

1283
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 2: start to feel it bubble up there, but it takes

1284
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:28,799
Speaker 2: quite a bit. So Turley says he's hopeful that eventually

1285
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: people just realize how ugly they've gotten and peel back.

1286
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 2: I hope that's right. I hope that's true. Barry emailed

1287
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 2: a little while ago from Westchester, Pennsylvania. He said, Hey, Chris,

1288
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 2: I just wanted to share that a lot of us

1289
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 2: who've been donating to food for the poor do so

1290
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 2: through our employer's donation programs, which often include and I'd

1291
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 2: forgotten this, and I'm really glad, Barry reminded me corporate

1292
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 2: matching programs. Does your company match when you donate to

1293
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 2: charities up to a certain amount? Barry's does, he says.

1294
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,759
Speaker 2: In my case, my company matched my donation to Food

1295
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 2: for the for this week one hundred percent. I wish

1296
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 2: he told me where he worked. Tell me where you work, Arry,

1297
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 2: so I can salute a company who does that. How

1298
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,600
Speaker 2: cool is that a company like whatever you donate to

1299
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 2: a charity, your company matches at one hundred percent, he said.

1300
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 2: Encourage others maybe to check their employers to see if

1301
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 2: they offer similar matching opportunities. Many companies do, and it

1302
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 2: can make a big difference. Well you guys, Arry, thank you,

1303
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 2: and thanks to your company, whoever they may be. I'd

1304
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 2: love to thank them personally here on the show. Those

1305
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 2: of you who have been giving to the Food for

1306
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 2: the Poor campaign, thank you. Right there at the top

1307
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 2: of my page Christigall dot com, there's a give Living

1308
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 2: Water banner, folks. Is this is a Christian ministry that's

1309
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 2: doing real good in some of the poorest places in

1310
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 2: the world. And we're talking about kids that can't. They

1311
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 2: can't get clean drinking water unless mom walks to some

1312
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 2: neighboring village where there might be a well for some

1313
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,719
Speaker 2: clean drinking water miles away. I mean, this is poverty

1314
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 2: you and I can't comprehend. It's poverty that makes the

1315
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 2: poorest in our midst look wealthy. Clean drinking water is

1316
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 2: what we're talking about. And Food for the Poor not

1317
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,680
Speaker 2: only gives living water literally in terms of drinking it,

1318
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 2: they give it spiritually in their Christian ministry too. And

1319
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:20,600
Speaker 2: when you give to Food for the Poor, do you

1320
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 2: know that fifty dollars can get clean drinking water to

1321
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 2: two kids for an entire year. That's how they stretch

1322
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 2: a dollar, just fifty bucks. Those of you who have

1323
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 2: been unbelievably generous, and I'm certainly not asking for this,

1324
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 2: but I'm so blown away that some of you are

1325
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:39,719
Speaker 2: willing to be this generous. It started to become a trend,

1326
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 2: and I just thought, gosh, I got to do something,

1327
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 2: some something to say thank you, those of you that

1328
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 2: have been giving thousand dollars donations. The very least I

1329
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 2: can do is make you a lifetime subscriber to the

1330

Speaker 26: Hi, good morning, Chris, Thank you for taking my call.

1348
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 26: I just wanted to compliment you. I moved to Florida

1349
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 26: about a little over six months ago and I happen

1350
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 26: to come across your show one morning now as I

1351
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 26: was getting ready for work, and I'm going to tell

1352
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 26: you something. I'm very impressed. You're my go to in

01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 26: the mornings. As I get up, I turn you on.

1354
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 26: I listen to you as I get ready. I find

1355
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:14,520
Speaker 26: that not only am I informed, which is what I

1356
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:18,599
Speaker 26: turn on a new show for, but I'm educated and

1357
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 26: most of all, I'm inspired. I'm a Christian and you

1358
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 26: just set my day off properly. As I was waiting

1359
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 26: on the line. You have burdened my heart to give

1360
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 26: to the clean water and I just want to let

1361
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 26: you know that I will keep that ministry and you

1362

Speaker 26: a good Christian man.

Speaker 2: Tim. That is one of the kindest things anyone's ever

1365
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 2: said to me. I cover your prayer's friend, and I

1366

1367
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 2: kind sentiment. And you know what, I don't know if

01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:34,719
Speaker 2: two new associates, now you can expand and offer more hours,

1381
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 2: maybe evening hours, possibly weekends. Bob. Yeah.

1382
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 29: One of the things that I told them from early

1383
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 29: on when they started with me, was the value of

1384
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:44,640
Speaker 29: not only their own time, but other people's times. And

1385
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 29: they run on a similar schedule that I do. If

1386
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 29: you've got a one o'clock appointment, you're in their chair

1387
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 29: at one o'clock. And it's something that across the border

1388
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:53,800
Speaker 29: of Wingsburg Dental, we really pride ourselves on, whether it's

1389
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,559
Speaker 29: an appointment with the hygienister, whether it's appointment with one

1390
01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 29: of our doctors. The other thing is we now have

1391
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 29: some expanded hour in the evenings and even there's some

1392
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:06,639
Speaker 29: discussion about opening again on some Saturdays for services.

1393
01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not you. You're fishing. You're not kidding anybody. It's

1394
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 2: not you going to be working on Saturday.

1395
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,640
Speaker 29: Come on, I'm in my thirty third year and it

1396
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 29: should be the young gun.

1397
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 2: That's right. You've earned it. You've earned it.

1398
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 11: I feel like I have thank you.

1399
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 2: Pick up the phone or go online make that appointment

1400
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 2: six p one oh three five three twenty seven hundred

1401
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 2: or Williamsburg dashedental dot com. Two hundred and fifty years.

1402
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 2: That's what our country celebrates July fourth, this year, two

1403
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:32,599
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty years. And one of the things that

1404
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 2: you know on this show that we care deeply about.

1405
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 2: We've partnered with great people like the Herzog Foundation to

1406
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 2: tell the story of our nations founding through the Christian perspective,

1407
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 2: because it's there and it's really important, but it's not

1408
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 2: something that a lot of people have been taught, and

1409
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 2: not just the current generation. I will confess, as a

1410
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:53,599
Speaker 2: public school kid myself, I did not know the Christian

1411
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,639
Speaker 2: influence of this nation the way I've been learning lately,

1412
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 2: and I look forward to learning even more through a

1413
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 2: brand new project called A Great Awakening that'll be in

1414
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:07,560
Speaker 2: theaters nationwide April third. A Great Awakening dot Com for

1415
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 2: more information. The people behind this are the same folks

1416
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,640
Speaker 2: that bring you the Site and Sound Theater productions if

1417
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 2: you know about that in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, or in Branson, Missouri,

1418
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 2: some of the most incredible production values that you'll ever

1419
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:23,600
Speaker 2: see telling great Christian stories. The gentleman behind it is

1420
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 2: the president of Site and Sound Theaters, Joshua Ank and

1421
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 2: joins us this morning. Mister Ank, thanks for your time.

1422
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,200
Speaker 2: Good morning, Yeah, good morning, Chris.

1423
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having me on your show,

1424
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:36,240
Speaker 3: and hello to all the guests that are listening and watching.

1425
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 2: Of course, this is so important, and I must confess

1426
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 2: my ignorance when I read about our founders' names. We know,

1427
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 2: you know Philadelphia for years where I was doing my

1428
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 2: show locally, and our nation's founding and Independence Hall, christ

1429
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 2: Churches nearby, the Betsy Ross House. There's so much history,

1430
01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 2: and even I living there walking Valley, for all of

1431
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 2: these wonderful historic sites where our nation was born. I

1432
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:08,640
Speaker 2: don't think until recently, mister Ak, I've had an appreciation

1433
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 2: for the role faith played in our founding and I'm

1434
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 2: really glad you're educating us about it.

1435
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 3: Oh man, well, I was inspired to do so. I

1436
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 3: always like to say I was born in nineteen seventy six,

1437
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 3: so I was born patriotic.

1438
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,480
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a bicentennial.

1439
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 3: Baby, and so you know, I always had a heart.

1440
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 3: I'm born and raised outside of Philadelphia, in a city

1441
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:36,720
Speaker 3: called Lancaster County, of Lancaster County, and so, you know,

1442
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 3: being close to Philadelphia and the Liberty Bell and Valley

1443
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,439
Speaker 3: Forge and the places that you mentioned, you know, having

1444
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 3: them in our own backyard, I always had, you know,

1445
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:49,799
Speaker 3: a draw toward the things under that beautiful word called liberty.

1446
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:52,799
Speaker 3: And when I became a Christian at the age of nineteen,

1447
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 3: and I wanted to be a storyteller, whether it's on

1448
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 3: stage or screen. You know, I always thought, man, how

1449
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 3: incredible would it be if the Lord would allow me

1450
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 3: to sink my teeth into a project that would proclaim

1451
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 3: liberty throughout this land onto all the inhabitants thereof you

1452
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 3: know that burst from Leviticus that's on the Liberty Bell itself.

1453
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 3: And I feel like this film A Great Awakening, which

1454
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 3: comes out April third Theater's nationwide, is going to do

1455
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 3: just that.

1456
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 2: Where do you think the notion came from? Was it

1457
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 2: over time. Was it purposeful or was it just sort

1458
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 2: of folklore that our founders, you know men featured in

1459
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 2: your film A Great Awakening, like Benjamin Franklin, this idea

1460
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:35,759
Speaker 2: that they were secularists or just didn't have any time

1461
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 2: for faith. Where did that come from? Do you know?

1462
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: You know, I really don't know.

1463
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 3: I think perhaps it's a desire to not believe believe

1464
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:47,720
Speaker 3: the truth. But when you know the truth, it sets

1465
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 3: you free. And when I started to peel back the

1466
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 3: layers of our history and our founding fathers, you can't

1467
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 3: deny it. It's absolutely woven into the culture. And that's

1468
01:18:57,120 --> 01:19:00,800
Speaker 3: something that people don't really understand because it's not taught,

1469
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 3: like you had said earlier, it's not something that's at

1470
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 3: the forefront of our curriculum, I would say, even in

1471
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,879
Speaker 3: you know, private schools, private Christian schools. It's an unknown

1472
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 3: time period. And that time period that I'm talking about

1473
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 3: is the thirty years that led up to the Revolutionary War.

1474
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 3: So this film, this takes place between seventeen thirty nine

1475
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 3: and seventeen seventy, which was known as the Great Awakening,

1476
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 3: perhaps the most formative event in American history, and the

1477
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:31,719
Speaker 3: reason that it was so formative is because a biblical

1478
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 3: definition of a generation is thirty years. So for thirty

1479
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 3: years there were Judeo Christian morals and values being taught

1480
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 3: and lived out and sown into this culture of the

1481
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 3: Thirteen Colonies. The Great Awakening was considered the first shared

1482
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 3: experience among the colonies because you know, they were kind

1483
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 3: of operating as their own separate states. They weren't states

1484
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 3: to them, but they were colonies. And when George Whitfield,

1485
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 3: who this film is about, it's about him and Benjamin

1486
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:04,720
Speaker 3: Franklin and their relationship, their friendship. He was known as

1487
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 3: the spiritual founding Father. And George Whitfield came to us

1488
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 3: from England. I can talk more about him later. He

1489
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 3: is an absolutely phenomenal person in our history and he

1490
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 3: was known as our spiritual founding Father. It was him

1491
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 3: and others like the Wesley brothers and Jonathan Edwards that

1492
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:25,840
Speaker 3: committed their lives. They are all everything, every ounce of

1493
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 3: energy within them to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ across.

1494
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 4: The Thirteen Colonies.

1495
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:33,719
Speaker 3: And what happened over that thirty year period of time

1496
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 3: is we got a people that became self governing their

1497
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 3: morals and their values were their governor. And so when

1498
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 3: they dealt with the tyrant within themselves for thirty years,

1499
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 3: then they saw the tyrant across the sea, who said,

1500
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 3: liberty can only come through me, and they said, no, no, no, no,

1501
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:54,679
Speaker 3: Liberty does not come from man or a king. Liberty

1502
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 3: is a gift, is a right given to us by God.

1503
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 3: That's the DNA that was in the He's founding fathers,

1504
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 3: which created them the Revolution. So this film is the

1505
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:08,840
Speaker 3: revelation that took place before the Revolution. And it's not

1506
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 3: a movie, it's a movement. It's a part of history

1507
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 3: that we have to understand and I feel like this

1508
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 3: film will inspire hearts toward the true definition of liberty.

1509
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,799
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see it. It's called A Great Awakening,

1510
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 2: and you can get more about not just the film,

1511
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 2: see the trailer, find out where it's going to be

1512
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 2: shown at a Great Awakening dot com. A Great Awakening

1513
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:32,680
Speaker 2: dot com. Joshua Ank is the president of Site and

1514
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 2: Sound Theaters. The issue of slavery. I heard Glenn Beck,

1515
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 2: my colleague, talking about this recently, and it's a really

1516
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 2: interesting thing because people will point to that and say, well,

1517
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:49,919
Speaker 2: our founders were slaveholders, and this in truth was actually

1518
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 2: something that came to pass as a discussion when they

1519
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,679
Speaker 2: were talking about, you know, when there was that original

1520
01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 2: stitching together the thirteen colonies before the declaration, they did

1521
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 2: want to address that. Now it is true, I think

1522
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 2: that there was something like three states that were not

1523
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 2: on board eradicating slavery. But that was a real discussion

1524
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,679
Speaker 2: born of the idea what you just said, and Thomas

1525
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 2: Jefferson believed in that it was. I'm glad that we're

1526
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:20,640
Speaker 2: revisiting that ugly discussion. It's important that we have it.

1527
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 2: But it's also important to know that most of the

1528
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:25,400
Speaker 2: men involved in the founding of this country were not

1529
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 2: pro slavery at all, and you know their circumstances surrounding

1530
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 2: holding slaves at that time in history, and just kind

1531
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,960
Speaker 2: of the social pressures of it. What does that mean.

1532
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 2: I mean, there are a lot of logistical things I

1533
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,640
Speaker 2: think to consider, but in terms of it in concept,

1534
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 2: most of these men were not supportive of the notion.

1535
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 2: I think that's worth bringing up.

1536
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 3: Too absolutely, and actually that comes we bring that out

1537
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 3: in this film. There's a climactic moment between Benjamin Franklin

1538
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:55,839
Speaker 3: and George Whitfield where this is addressed.

1539
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:57,880
Speaker 2: The thing that we want to do with.

1540
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:02,520
Speaker 3: This film, A Great Awakening, comes out April third, theaters nationwide,

1541
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,960
Speaker 3: is we don't want to show that there are that

1542
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 3: these people were perfect, that our founding fathers were flawless,

1543
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 3: that they all need to be, you know, on pedestals

1544
01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 3: of marble and untouchable.

1545
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 10: That is false.

1546
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,360
Speaker 3: They're human beings, just like we are. And we've at

1547
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:19,920
Speaker 3: sight and sound. You know, we've been doing this for

1548
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:22,680
Speaker 3: fifty years bringing the Bible to life on stage and

1549
01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 3: for the past five years bringing the Bible to life

1550
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,479
Speaker 3: on screen as well. So now it's both stage and screen.

1551
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 3: And what we want to do with these films is

1552
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 3: our mod of if you want to call it that,

1553
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 3: our culture is, you know, telling the stories of figures

1554
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 3: from history that changed the world because Christ first changed them,

1555
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 3: people that went from dark to light. Well, people that

1556
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:46,840
Speaker 3: are in the dark do dark things. People in the

1557
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:47,879
Speaker 3: light try.

1558
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:48,800
Speaker 26: Not to do dark things.

1559
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 3: And so we explore the flaws of both of these characters.

1560
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 3: Benjamin Franklin, his flaws are more obvious and George Whitfield,

1561
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 3: where he has his flaws are a little bit more

1562
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 3: under the surface, but they come out in this movie,

1563
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:03,760
Speaker 3: and regarding the topic of slavery, you know, I don't

1564
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 3: know why, but I just I was never I'm never

1565
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 3: shy to talk about something that is a stained from

1566
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 3: our past, you know. And yeah, and here's the thing

1567
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 3: is they were conflicted as well. This film isn't setting

1568
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 3: out to prove or disprove which founding fathers were Christians,

1569
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 3: and was Benjamin Franklin a Christian? And you know, all

1570
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 3: these things we're not. We don't have an agenda with

1571
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 3: this movie. What we found is an incredible true story

1572
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 3: of this unlikely friendship between George Whitfield, a preacher, and

1573
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 3: Ben Franklin, the prolific communicator and inventor. And it's their

1574
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:43,680
Speaker 3: friendship that and partnership that sparked the Great Awakening. And

1575
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 3: so by doing that, you had you put these two

1576
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 3: dynamic people together, arguably the most powerful evangelist of all

1577
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 3: time with arguably the most powerful communicator of all time,

1578
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 3: Ben Franklin. Nobody knows this, but they were best friends.

1579
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:00,959
Speaker 3: And Ben Franklin printed all of George W. Field sermons,

1580
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 3: his whereabouts and if it weren't for Franklin behind his

1581
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:07,799
Speaker 3: printing press, you know, eighty percent of the colonists wouldn't

1582
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 3: have come out to see George Woodfield.

1583
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,640
Speaker 2: Eighty percent right of the colonist.

1584
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 3: Saw George Woodfield with their own eyes and hurt them

1585
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,879
Speaker 3: with their own ears. And so the topic of slavery,

1586
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:21,599
Speaker 3: they were conflicted. Founding fathers back then, even those who

1587
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 3: held slaves were conflicted with it. They knew it was

1588
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 3: morally wrong. And so we explore that sensitive topic in

1589
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 3: this film and we hit it head on.

1590
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you, Joshua inc. This is a beautiful

1591
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 2: looking film. What I love about sid and Sound. If

1592

01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 2: to go. I'm going through this year. That's a promise.

1594
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 2: I've yet to see the stage play. Everybody that goes

1595
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,919
Speaker 2: to see SIT and Sound productions raves about the quality.

1596
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 2: And if you see this trailer A Great Awakening dot Com,

1597
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 2: you see the beauty and the obvious quality in this

1598

Speaker 2: production too. You don't do it on the cheap at

1599
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,759
Speaker 2: Sitan Sound is the point. A Great Awakening dot Com

Speaker 17: You know.

1620
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:56,800
Speaker 2: Barry emailed a little while ago from Westchester, Pennsylvania. He said, Hey, Chris,

1621
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 2: I just wanted to share that a lot of us

1622
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 2: who've been donating the Food for the Poor do so

1623
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 2: through our employer's donation programs, which often include and I'd

1624
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 2: forgotten this, and I'm really glad Barry reminded me. Corporate

1625
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 2: matching programs. Does your company match when you donate to

1626
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 2: charities up to a certain amount? Barry's does, he says.

1627
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 2: In my case, my company matched my donation to Food

1628
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:21,800
Speaker 2: for the Poor this week one hundred percent. I wish

1629
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 2: he told me where he worked. Tell me where you work, Berry,

1630
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 2: so I can salute a company who does that. How

1631
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 2: cool is that a company like whatever you donate to

1632
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 2: a charity, your company matches at one hundred percent, he said.

1633
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 2: Encourage others maybe to check their employers to see if

1634
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 2: they offer similar matching opportunities. Many companies do, and it

1635
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,519
Speaker 2: can make a big difference. Well you guys, Barry, thank you,

1636
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 2: and thanks to your company, whoever they may be. I'd

1637
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 2: love to thank them personally here on the show. Those

1638
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 2: of you who have been giving to the Food for

1639
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 2: the Poor campaign, thank you. Right there at the top

1640
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,759
Speaker 2: of my page christigall dot com, there's a give Living

1641
01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 2: Water banner. Folks. This is this is a Christian menace

1642
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:04,639
Speaker 2: that's doing real good in some of the poorest places

1643
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:08,120
Speaker 2: in the world. And we're talking about kids that can't

1644
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 2: they can't get clean drinking water unless mom walks to

1645
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 2: some neighboring village where there might be a well for

1646
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 2: some clean drinking water miles away. I mean, this is

1647
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 2: poverty like you and I can't comprehend. It's poverty that

1648
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:25,519
Speaker 2: makes the poorest in our midst look wealthy. Clean drinking

1649
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 2: water is what we're talking about. And Food for the

1650
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 2: Poor not only gives living water literally in terms of

1651
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 2: drinking it, they give it spiritually in their Christian ministry too.

1652
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:38,640
Speaker 2: And when you give to Food for the Poor, do

1653
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 2: you know that fifty dollars can get clean drinking water

1654
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 2: to two kids for an entire year. That's how they

1655
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 2: stretch a dollar, just fifty bucks. Those of you who

1656
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 2: have been unbelievably generous, and I'm certainly not asking for this,

1657
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 2: but I'm so blown away that some of you are

1658
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 2: willing to be this generous. It started to become a

1659
01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:00,479
Speaker 2: trend and I just thought, gosh, I've I got to

1660
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 2: do something, some something to say thank you, those of

1661
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 2: you that have been giving thousand dollars donations. The very

1662
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:08,240
Speaker 2: least I can do is make you a lifetime subscriber

1663
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:11,800

01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:13,240
Speaker 26: about a little over six months ago, and I happened

1683
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:16,320
Speaker 26: to come across your show one morning as I was

1684
01:30:16,400 --> 01:30:19,599
Speaker 26: getting ready for work, and I'm going to tell you something.

1685
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:23,360
Speaker 26: I'm very impressed. You're my go to in the mornings.

1686
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 26: As I get up, I turn you on. I listen

1687
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:28,639
Speaker 26: to you as I get ready. I find that not

1688
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:33,040
Speaker 26: only am I informed, which is what I turn on

1689
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:37,639
Speaker 26: a new show for, but I'm educated and most of all,

1690
01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:41,680
Speaker 26: I'm inspired. I'm a Christian and you just set my

1691
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 26: day off properly. As I was waiting on the line.

1692
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 26: You have burdened my heart to give to the clean

1693
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,680
Speaker 26: water and I just want to let you know that

1694
01:30:56,760 --> 01:30:59,759
Speaker 26: I will keep that ministry and you and my prayers.

1695
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:04,360
Speaker 26: Thank you for having a backbone being a good Christian man.

1696
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:08,760
Speaker 2: Tim. That is one of the kindest things anyone's ever

1697
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:11,559
Speaker 2: said to me. I covert your prayer's friend, and I

1698
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:14,600
Speaker 2: thank you more than I can say for such a

1699
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:17,760
Speaker 2: kind sentiment. And you know what, I don't know if

1700
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:20,639
Speaker 2: you're a Harump Society member, Tim, but you're the kind

1701
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:22,559
Speaker 2: of guy that I'd love to have you in our midst.

1702
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:27,240
Speaker 2: Can I give you a complimentary membership to the Harrump Society?

1703
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:32,719
Speaker 26: Yes, but tell me what a Horum Society member is oh.

1704
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 2: I'll tell you all about it. You're going to get

1705
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:37,680
Speaker 2: an email today. It's the fastest growing newsletter on substack

1706
01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:39,960
Speaker 2: and you're now going to join the party. Hang on

1707
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 2: tim more than a minute. Thank you, my friend. You know,

1708
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:49,160
Speaker 2: the reality is, as Operation Epic Fury continues, our friends

1709
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:51,760
Speaker 2: at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews want you

1710
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:53,759
Speaker 2: to know that they're doing mission work on the ground

1711
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 2: there as well, important work that we hope if you're

1712
01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 2: so inclined and it's on your heart, you read a

1713
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:03,720
Speaker 2: little bit about what they do. This is you know,

1714
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:05,760
Speaker 2: this is a group of people that you're talking about

1715
01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:08,719
Speaker 2: bomb shelters. You're talking about installing bomb shelters for people

1716
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 2: who need them or people that you know, quite frankly,

1717
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:14,840
Speaker 2: when they're offices of their homes are hit. You got

1718
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:16,439
Speaker 2: to get to a shelter. You got to get there quick.

1719
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes you may be staying there for hours. And when

1720
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:20,559
Speaker 2: you think about little kids, you think about elderly folks.

1721
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 2: I mean, there're still Holocaust survivors that live in their

1722
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:27,040
Speaker 2: midst in Israel, and the people on the ground there

1723
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 2: are helped by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

1724
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:33,680
Speaker 2: So I just simply introduced them to you if you're

1725
01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:36,600
Speaker 2: not familiar with their work. It's not a political organization.

1726
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:40,720
Speaker 2: It is an outreach organization in Israel, and if you've

1727
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:43,799
Speaker 2: ever wondered what it looks like to stand alongside Israel

1728
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:47,839
Speaker 2: in their fight against evil forces there in that region,

1729
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,920
Speaker 2: along with us in joining that fight, Christians around the

1730
01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 2: world praying for Israel and its people as well as

1731
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 2: our own brave groups in harm's way. If you'd like

1732
01:32:57,439 --> 01:33:01,640
Speaker 2: to be part of their effort's either in prayer or

1733
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:04,519
Speaker 2: maybe taking a more active role. You can learn about

1734
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 2: what they do at SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That's support IFCJ

1735
01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:15,360
Speaker 2: dot org. So it is reported this morning that the

1736
01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:18,479
Speaker 2: White House is going to press forward and roll out

1737
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:21,560
Speaker 2: with some regulations on AI. They kind of want a

1738
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:26,040
Speaker 2: national standard to police and regulate AI. You know, there's

1739
01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 2: been some discussion amongst the States, people like Ronda Santis

1740
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:35,599
Speaker 2: who have said, we don't want a federal blanketed policy

1741
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:37,760
Speaker 2: on AI. We think states should be able to regulate this.

1742
01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:40,559
Speaker 2: It's going to be a really complex and sticky issue,

1743
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:42,840
Speaker 2: one that Senator Marshall Blackburn is trying to get out

1744
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 2: in front of before she leaves the United States Senate

1745
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:48,920
Speaker 2: and perhaps becomes a governor herself down the road. She

1746
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:50,920
Speaker 2: joins us again this morning, and Senator, I'm really glad

1747
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 2: you could make time this morning.

1748
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 4: Hello, delighted to join you. Thank you so much. And

1749
01:33:56,720 --> 01:33:57,920
Speaker 4: you're exactly right.

1750
01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 31: We have to make certain that there are protections in

1751
01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 31: place for children, creators, communities, and conservatives. I call those

1752
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:13,639
Speaker 31: the fources when we look at AI policy. And also, yes,

1753
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:17,720
Speaker 31: we need a federal standard, just like we do with

1754
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:19,799
Speaker 31: every other industrial sector.

1755
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 4: And Chris, in the midst.

1756
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 31: Of this, we have to make certain that we're protecting

1757
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:31,920
Speaker 31: our people, our citizens, and that we are also protecting states' rights.

1758
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:36,240
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this just yesterday. Someone asked me

1759
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,600
Speaker 2: about our industry and AI and what I thought, and

1760
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:42,000
Speaker 2: I said that I actually believed that we will probably

1761
01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:44,160
Speaker 2: hit a point, maybe in the not too distant future,

1762
01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:48,559
Speaker 2: where we're going to demand to know what is real,

1763
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 2: what is made by human beings, whether it's art or

1764
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:56,000
Speaker 2: whether it's commercials, political commercials, talk show hosts, music, whatever.

1765
01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,960
Speaker 2: I think humanity. I hope humanity will begin to demand

1766
01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 2: like we do in our meat. You know, you can

1767
01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:04,280
Speaker 2: make meat in the labor, you can get it from

1768
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 2: a cow. I think people will want to know and

1769
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:09,240
Speaker 2: it will become important that it's labeled as such. Do

1770
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 2: you think that's where we're headed.

1771
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:11,680
Speaker 12: Oh?

1772
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:15,160
Speaker 31: Yes, indeed, people want to know what is authentic and

1773
01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:20,920
Speaker 31: what is AI generated. And this is why my framework,

1774
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:26,599
Speaker 31: the Trump America AI Act, which is basically a way

1775
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:31,639
Speaker 31: to codify the President's executive order that he did last

1776
01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:36,559
Speaker 31: year late last year on artificial intelligence, and as I said,

1777
01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 31: protecting children from the adverse impacts of AI, allowing our creators,

1778
01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:48,639
Speaker 31: whether they're patent, copyright, trademark holders, our entertainers, allowing them

1779
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:53,599
Speaker 31: to own their name, image, likeness, and protecting their constitutional

1780
01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:58,840
Speaker 31: right that Article one, Section eight, clause eight right to

1781
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:03,880
Speaker 31: benefit from their creations. Now, communities have to be protected

1782
01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:07,639
Speaker 31: from high electric rates and job loss as we look

1783
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 31: at AI expansion and as we all know, Chris, what

1784
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:17,479
Speaker 31: you're talking about where you have the AI generated content

1785
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:22,000
Speaker 31: that is just not true. And certainly even this week,

1786
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:27,680
Speaker 31: conservatives have seen this with Gemma and Gemini, which are

1787
01:36:27,720 --> 01:36:33,840
Speaker 31: the AI platforms from Google. Because that platform was asked

1788
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:38,400
Speaker 31: about hate speech and if senators practice hate speech, and

1789
01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:42,439
Speaker 31: not to anyone surprise, the only senators they tagged with

1790
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:48,720
Speaker 31: hate speech were Republicans. So these large language models are

1791
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:56,559
Speaker 31: trained to be opposite a conservative viewpoint, so they're in

1792
01:36:56,720 --> 01:37:02,240
Speaker 31: opposition to what conservatives bulel leave. And if you're going

1793
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 31: to put garbage in, you're going to get garbage out

1794
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:12,840
Speaker 31: with these large language models. So therefore, authenticating what AI

1795
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:16,559
Speaker 31: has is going to become more important, just as you said,

1796
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:20,799
Speaker 31: so that people know what is fact and what is fiction.

1797
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:26,560
Speaker 2: Tennessee's senior Senator Marshall Blackburn joins a senator the DHS situation.

1798
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 2: We're starting to see the lines backing up and backing

1799
01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:32,160
Speaker 2: up and backing up airports, some airports around the country,

1800
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,400
Speaker 2: some of the larger airports two hour weights or more

1801
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:37,880
Speaker 2: to get through security. Some of your colleagues have suggested

1802
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 2: no recess, no going home for Easter, no leaving town

1803
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 2: until we get this situated. What's your reaction to that.

1804
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:49,120
Speaker 31: That's exactly right. We are staying here. We are working

1805
01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:49,879
Speaker 31: through the weekend.

1806
01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:50,559
Speaker 20: Now.

1807
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:55,799
Speaker 31: The White House put out a letter on Monday going

1808
01:37:55,960 --> 01:37:59,080
Speaker 31: through the offers, the changes they have made and the

1809
01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:03,680
Speaker 31: offers they have made to the Democrats, and they've done

1810
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:05,799
Speaker 31: substantial changes.

1811
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 4: They have ended the Minnesota surge.

1812
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:14,760
Speaker 31: They have stopped the roving work from ICE from those patrols.

1813
01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 31: They have implemented body cameras, They have changed detention policies.

1814
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 4: They are not holding US citizens. There are all.

1815
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:26,400
Speaker 31: These changes they have made, but Chris, nothing is good enough.

1816
01:38:26,439 --> 01:38:31,720
Speaker 31: The Democrats keep moving the posts simply because the Democrats

1817
01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:35,200
Speaker 31: have made a promise to their leftist base that they

1818
01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:39,839
Speaker 31: would do a couple of things. They would defund federal

1819
01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 31: law enforcement and abolish ICE, and also they would reopen

1820
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:47,080
Speaker 31: the border so that anybody that wants to walk in

1821
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:52,679
Speaker 31: can just walk on in, legal or not. So the

1822
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 31: White House has moved. There have been so many concessions made,

1823
01:38:56,800 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 31: and the Democrats show no willingness to come to the

1824
01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:02,560
Speaker 31: table and negotiate.

1825
01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:03,879
Speaker 4: Yesterday was the first.

1826
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 31: Day in fifty days they've had anything to say. And

1827
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:09,679
Speaker 31: of course we are encouraging them to work this out

1828
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:16,400
Speaker 31: because what they're doing is holding TSA workers, Homeland Security investigators, FEMA,

1829
01:39:16,479 --> 01:39:18,040
Speaker 31: the Coastguard.

1830
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 4: The Secret Service.

1831
01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 31: They're holding them as the pawns and the hostages in

1832
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 31: this and inconveniencing the American people, not allowing FEMA to

1833
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 31: do its work, having Secret Service in TSA work without

1834
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 31: paychecks because they want to abolish ice and defund federal

1835
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:38,639
Speaker 31: law enforcement and open the border back up, wide open.

1836
01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:41,400
Speaker 2: By the way, I should mention the White House just

1837
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:43,960
Speaker 2: put out today, which is not a fact. We should

1838
01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:46,559
Speaker 2: gloss over. No illegal border crossing, as they say now

1839
01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:48,720
Speaker 2: in ten straight months, I think, is what they put that.

1840
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:50,000
Speaker 2: Did you hear that stat.

1841
01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:53,439
Speaker 31: Yes, that is correct, what you see as a border

1842
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:59,120
Speaker 31: that has become security. President Trump's point we did not

1843
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:00,799
Speaker 31: need more laws on the books.

1844
01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:02,599
Speaker 4: We needed a new.

1845
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:07,000
Speaker 31: President and a new president in his administration that are

1846
01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:11,479
Speaker 31: given to protecting the sovereignty of this great nation. Shows

1847
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:14,880
Speaker 31: what you can do when you enforce the laws that

1848
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:18,599
Speaker 31: are on the books and remind people that we are

1849
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:23,639
Speaker 31: a nation of laws and we abide by the rule

1850
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 31: of law.

1851
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:30,520
Speaker 2: Senator, can you predict on this Save America Act? There's

1852
01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:33,200
Speaker 2: uniform agreement by most voters. I mean, there's there's almost

1853
01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:37,479
Speaker 2: nothing like this in American politics today, an issue upon

1854
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:43,759
Speaker 2: which most all voters agree, Democrat, Republican, independent, agnostic. Everyone

1855
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:47,040
Speaker 2: thinks it's smart and important to be able to prove

1856
01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 2: who you are when you vote, and yet it seems

1857
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:50,760
Speaker 2: like it's going to be a real struggle to get

1858
01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,120
Speaker 2: it to a vote. What's the status there? What do

1859
01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:53,920
Speaker 2: you predict the outcome?

1860
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 31: It's going to be well, Conservatives should claim a victory

1861
01:40:57,479 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 31: that we got it on the Senate floor, and we

1862
01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:00,799
Speaker 31: have start the debate.

1863
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:03,480
Speaker 4: And Chris, as we are going through.

1864
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:07,080
Speaker 31: This debate, Democrats have made some pretty telling admissions. And

1865
01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 31: number one, they have admitted that yes, they know there

1866
01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:13,799
Speaker 31: are illegal aliens voting in our elections, but don't worry

1867
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 31: about that.

1868
01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:16,360
Speaker 4: It's not that many of them.

1869
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:20,880
Speaker 31: So there you go, one good admission there, and then

1870
01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:27,240
Speaker 31: another is, well, it's reasonable to show an ID when

1871
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:28,400
Speaker 31: you go to vote.

1872
01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:30,680
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, most of the states do this.

1873
01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 4: But you've got.

1874
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:36,560
Speaker 31: Nineteen states, these big blue states that they don't require

1875
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:39,400
Speaker 31: you to be a citizen to register to vote. They

1876
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:44,599
Speaker 31: allow non citizens to register through votor voter. They also

1877
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 31: don't require You've got about twelve states where you can

1878
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 31: walk up to the polls and vote and not show

1879
01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:53,160
Speaker 31: any kind of ID, just say your name is whatever,

1880
01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 31: and you live it wherever, and you want to vote

1881
01:41:57,000 --> 01:42:01,040
Speaker 31: right now, and then that vote goes in the ballot box.

1882
01:42:01,680 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 31: What seventy one percent of Democrats, eighty five percent of Independence,

1883
01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:09,759
Speaker 31: and over ninety percent of Republicans are saying is Look,

1884
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:12,320
Speaker 31: this is common sense. If you're going to vote in

1885
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:15,240
Speaker 31: our elections, you got to be a citizen. And number two,

1886
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:18,000
Speaker 31: when you go to the polls to vote, show an ID,

1887
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:22,680
Speaker 31: just like you do when you are going to pick

1888
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:26,880
Speaker 31: up a prescription, or when you're registering for federal benefits,

1889
01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:30,960
Speaker 31: or when you are going to your kid's school, show

1890
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:34,720
Speaker 31: an ID and prove that you are indeed who you

1891
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:35,439
Speaker 31: say you are.

1892
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:36,639
Speaker 4: It is common sense.

1893
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:40,760
Speaker 31: And it is only the Democrats in this chamber of

1894
01:42:40,840 --> 01:42:44,680
Speaker 31: the US Senate that seem to be in opposition to this,

1895
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 31: and of course some wild wacko leftists that are out

1896
01:42:49,120 --> 01:42:51,840
Speaker 31: there that think anybody on the face of the earth

1897
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:54,240
Speaker 31: ought to be able to vote in a US election.

1898
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:57,639
Speaker 2: Do you think, Senator there's a chance that this thing.

1899
01:42:57,760 --> 01:42:59,800
Speaker 2: Is there a creative way you get to a place

1900
01:42:59,800 --> 01:43:03,040
Speaker 2: where this can pass through the Senator, No, Chris.

1901
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 31: Every single day we are on this floor and we

1902
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 31: are working and talking about this and making our points

1903
01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 31: about this. Every single day the American people here a

1904
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:15,000
Speaker 31: little bit.

1905
01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:16,840
Speaker 4: More they come to our side.

1906
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 31: We're encouraging people that live in states that have a

1907
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:24,720
Speaker 31: Democratic senator who call their office and say, this is

1908
01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:28,320
Speaker 31: common sense. If you're going to cast a ballot in

1909
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:32,559
Speaker 31: a federal election, you got to be a citizen of

1910
01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 31: the country and you have to show an ID and

1911
01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:37,400
Speaker 31: prove that you are who you say you are.

1912
01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:40,839
Speaker 4: This is just plain good common sense.

1913
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:44,679
Speaker 2: Senator Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee. It is always a pleasure

1914
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:46,559
Speaker 2: to catch up with you. Lots to do, and I

1915
01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:48,120
Speaker 2: guess you guys are going to be stuck there in

1916
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,719
Speaker 2: town until something moves, which I think the American people

1917
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:54,400
Speaker 2: certainly appreciate. So Senator, thank you. I hope you have

1918

Speaker 2: with here at the Salem Media Group, a great Christian

Speaker 2: nonprofit delivering living water to thirsty kids throughout the poorest

1937
01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:55,400
Speaker 2: countries in our hemisphere. This is an opportunity to truly

1938
01:44:55,479 --> 01:44:57,920
Speaker 2: be the hands and feet of Jesus, to really put

1939
01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:01,639
Speaker 2: your money to work in action and feel great about

1940
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:03,800

1941
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:05,920
Speaker 2: of frustration and maybe you watch the news and you

1942
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 2: feel helpless. You have no idea what a fifty dollars

1943
01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:12,559
Speaker 2: gift can do to help children in a nation like

1944
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:16,200
Speaker 2: Columbia who are in need of just safe, clean drinking water.

1945
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:19,920
Speaker 2: It's reached a critical level there. Kids are getting sick

1946
01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:24,600
Speaker 2: from bad quality water, massive amounts of dehydration. Your donations

1947

1951
01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:34,840
Speaker 2: on the up and up? Can I tru well? They

1952
01:45:34,880 --> 01:45:38,120
Speaker 2: have been a wonderful Christian nonprofit for years, and we

1953
01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:40,920

1954
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:44,640

1955

Speaker 2: our hemisphere. Listen to Norma. She's a very grateful mom

Speaker 30: especially that you never forget about us. I don't know

1991
01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:41,719
Speaker 22: On my mind is I want to know how much

1992
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:46,040
Speaker 22: money does two hundred and fifty thousand employees being let's

1993
01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:51,000
Speaker 22: go from the federal government the US taxpayer. I left

1994
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:54,439
Speaker 22: this talking salary, but I'm talking all the benefits take

1995
01:47:54,479 --> 01:47:59,639
Speaker 22: out too. So you know that's just I'm a numbered guy.

1996
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:01,240
Speaker 26: I'd like to know.

1997
01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:04,840
Speaker 2: You know, sure, well, I don't have the hard data

1998
01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:07,000
Speaker 2: on it, but I know the budget deficit. I mean,

1999
01:48:07,080 --> 01:48:09,880
Speaker 2: we are the stat That is impressive to me, and

2000
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:11,280
Speaker 2: I don't know the math. I'd have to do some

2001
01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:14,439
Speaker 2: deeper dive research and you probably can just through I

2002
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 2: would imagine a I can dig this up for you

2003
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 2: right now. But the government employment level is at a

2004
01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:24,759
Speaker 2: fifty percent, a fifty year low. We have not seen

2005
01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:29,360
Speaker 2: federal employee levels are at a fifty year low. In

2006
01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:32,599
Speaker 2: other words, that exploded over the last fifty years. President

2007
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:37,880
Speaker 2: Trump has eliminated jobs at the federal level. We have

2008
01:48:37,960 --> 01:48:40,040
Speaker 2: not seen levels like this in fifty years. I mean,

2009
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:42,799
Speaker 2: that's stunning. So we're going back to Reagan size government

2010
01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:46,040
Speaker 2: In terms of what does that save us monetarily. I

2011
01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:48,559
Speaker 2: have to get back to you on that data, but

2012
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:50,760
Speaker 2: it has made an impact on the budget deficit. That's

2013
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:54,519
Speaker 2: for sure. Problem is we're still spent, We're deficit spending,

2014
01:48:54,560 --> 01:48:57,559
Speaker 2: and that's an issue. Brian's in Ohio. Hey, Brian, I'm

01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:00,519
Speaker 2: glad you called. Good morning. Hey.

2017
01:49:04,400 --> 01:49:07,439
Speaker 17: I'm basically just calling because I'm also you know, we

2018
01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:09,240
Speaker 17: came out of the gates hot with DOGE and we

2019
01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:11,200
Speaker 17: did so much clean up and everything and it was awesome.

2020
01:49:11,240 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 17: But I'm just curious, like you know, is anybody paying

2021
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:17,920
Speaker 17: attention to with the DHS shutdown all these you know,

2022
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:20,600
Speaker 17: like femas regions and everything else that are closed, and

2023
01:49:20,600 --> 01:49:23,599
Speaker 17: these employees that have been off in February seventeenth, they're

2024
01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:25,680
Speaker 17: going to get a huge check for not reporting to

2025
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:27,680
Speaker 17: work and having ten percent of the year off as

2026
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:31,720
Speaker 17: a as a delayed paid vacation. What services are they

2027
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:34,799
Speaker 17: actually providing to the states that we can't deal without

2028
01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:37,559
Speaker 17: the further cut some of these positions. That's my question.

2029
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:40,720
Speaker 2: So great, Brian, it's a good one. If you're not

2030
01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:43,759
