We benefit from the 73 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: standpoint that there's greater stability in the world and Iran's 74 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 3: not able to you know, jackpot things and make money 75 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 3: off of them and then pay for terrorism and stuff 76 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: like that. That's how we benefit. But we don't get 77 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: any of our oil through the Strait of Hormons. Those 78 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 3: are Europeans that do that. So even though he doesn't 79 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: have to, President Trump's going to make sure that the 80 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 3: straight of Hormonves is open, that the shooting and the 81 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: killing and the murdering of the Iranian citizens comes to 82 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 3: an end, and that a government that we can work 83 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: with is going to be put in place. We're not 84 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 3: going to tell them how to set it up. We're 85 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 3: not going this is not Iraq. You're not going to 86 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 3: have people with purple thumbs going to vote and all 87 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 3: that stuff. That's not going to happen. We're gonna let 88 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 3: them decide what they want. But we've what we've done 89 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: is we've decapitated the satanic demons that were running that 90 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 3: place and now the innocent people. I saw statistics yesterday. Friends. 91 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: It broke my heart in twenty twenty six. Listen up 92 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: to this for a second. I lean in here. This 93 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 3: is important. In twenty twenty six, forty five thousand, six 94 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy two people they believe the Iatolas had 95 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: executed of their own people. That's that's a good sized 96 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 3: city or town in Iran just gone because they're the 97 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: people quote unquote that were ruling them. Come on. So anyway, 98 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: it was hilarious. So I'm watching the stuff. I see 99 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: all the pearl clutching. Everybody's oh my goodness, what's gonna happen. 100 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: He's committing war crimes. Da da da da da.

I said, well, I don't know. 111 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 3: I said, you know, if if people have been paying 112 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 3: attention to Trump, they kind of knows them. Oh, at 113 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: least I think they do. He starts a negotiation with 114 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 3: some outlandish proposal, gets the first pushback from the other side, 115 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 3: then he goes for the then he goes for the 116 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 3: real kill, what he's really aiming for, and he continues 117 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,559 Speaker 3: to play hardball until he gets to the point where 118 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: the negotiation happens. Then he settles for what is what 119 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 3: is doable. And I said I kind of think that. 120 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 3: She goes, do you think he's going to destroy an 121 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: entire civilization? I said, no, I don't. But if I 122 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: were the eye Tolas, I wouldn't test him. So after 123 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: I see that he's made the announcement that the two 124 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 3: week cease fires in existence, I'm dying at that point, 125 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 3: I'm literally dying to go back onto Twitter to see 126 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: what's going on, and all the people that had been 127 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 3: all the covetching, all of the complaining and whining, all 128 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: of it, all of it, all of it, they were 129 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 3: now they're just like making little selfie videos talking about it, 130 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 3: and they're spitting mad literally like they're talking to their 131 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 3: camera and they spit on their camera because what they 132 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 3: have to say they're so mad about. And I just, 133 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 3: I just I was a little mischievous last night. I'm 134 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: just going to admit it. If this is something I 135 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: need to ask forgiveness for, please tell me that Kevin 136 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 3: show at gmail dot com. But I was going to 137 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: all of their posts that they still had up that 138 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: said he was going to commit war crimes, and I 139 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 3: just put, well, this aged really well. And after I 140 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: did that to about fifty posts, I put the phone down. 141 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: I said, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna worry about 142 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,679 Speaker 3: it for the rest of the night. And I didn't. 143 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: I ran off to bed and slept like a baby 144 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: and was very happy that our commander in chief is 145 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 3: concerned about the global security situation, how it impacts us, 146 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 3: how it impacts Israel, how it impacts our allies. But 147 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 3: all of that to say, it was a good night, 148 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 3: and we are closer to having that conflict resolved. The 149 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 3: only one that will be still outstanding once we're done 150 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 3: with this is Ukraine and Russia, and I hope that 151 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 3: we get a resolution there. But we didn't destroy any 152 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 3: civilizations last night. And what we did do was make 153 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 3: the bad guys realize they're losing and they just need 154 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 3: to give up, and they should do what I said 155 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: in my column yesterday. If I were them, I just 156 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 3: do what mister Trump said. It's the quickest, quickest means 157 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 3: to get to the end of this problem. Just do 158 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: what he says. He doesn't want to run the world. 159 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 3: Just bring this to a close, Let the Iranian people 160 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 3: have their country back, and bring a whole new alignment 161 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,599 Speaker 3: to the Middle East.

We are working our way through the week 173 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 3: and working our way through this series here in the 174 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 3: area where we ask how do we live? How do 175 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 3: we live in light of a world that despises us, 176 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 3: despises our God, hates his word, looks at us with 177 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 3: suspicion or maybe thinks we're just like you know, something's 178 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,719 Speaker 3: wrong with us. How do we live in spite of that, 179 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 3: staying on mission, being Jesus Disciple, loving others, sharing the gospel, 180 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 3: doing that which impacts the world around us. How do 181 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: we do that? How do we live in that day? Well, 182 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 3: this week we're looking at some of the practical sides 183 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 3: of who we have around us and how that impacts 184 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 3: how we live. We've been talking about four people that 185 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 3: you must have in your life. They're not optional, you 186 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 3: need them. And yesterday we talked about every person needing 187 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 3: a mentor. But Pastor Steve Malazo is back with us 188 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 3: from Bethlehem Assembly of God here in the New York 189 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: trist State area. Three campuses, Baldwin, Rosedale, and Valley Stream, 190 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 3: and I would encourage you to check all of it 191 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 3: out at bethlehemag dot org. Steve. Today, we come to 192 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 3: a different type of person that's in our life. It 193 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 3: could be someone who's also a mentor or also something else. 194 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 3: But you say every person needs an encourager. 195 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I think that encouragement is like oxygen for 196 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 7: our soul, and we need oxygen. And we all need 197 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 7: encouragement because no matter how strong we are, no matter 198 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 7: how spiritual we are, no matter how long we've been 199 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 7: a Christian, we all are going to need encouragement in 200 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 7: a season of our life. You know, Paul the Apostle, Wow, 201 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 7: you know he was obviously, you know, wrote so much 202 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 7: of the New Testament, and obviously we learned so much 203 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 7: from Paul the Apostle. But even Paul the Apostle, at 204 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 7: some point in his life he said, I despaired life itself. 205 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 7: But God was so faithful to Paul that he sent 206 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 7: Paul different people in his life. He sent the guy 207 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 7: named ticke Akiss, He sent that a guy named Barnabas, 208 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 7: and actually the name Barnabas means son of encouragement. He 209 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 7: sent this guy on assa forest and Onessa Forest. I 210 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 7: think it really is the epitome of an encourager because 211 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 7: the Bible says that he searched out for Paul, and 212 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 7: when he found Paul. 213 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 4: He refreshed him. 214 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 7: You know, the word refreshed actually needs to revive, the strengthening, 215 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 7: to bring somebody back to life again. And so you know, 216 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 7: even Paul needed that encouragement. We're all are going to 217 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 7: feel discouraged at times. We're going to feel like we're 218 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 7: facing difficult situations, and sometimes we're. 219 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 4: Going to really want to give up. 220 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 7: But you know there's people in our life that are 221 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 7: there to really breathe life back into us. You know, 222 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 7: truth is, some people drain us and some people refresh us. 223 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 4: I call them sister Draino's or brother Draino's. 224 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 7: You know, they drain us of our strength. But then 225 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 7: there's other people in our life that come alongside of 226 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 7: us to really encourage us. I would not be the 227 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 7: pastor that I am today if I didn't have that 228 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 7: kind of person in my life. 229 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 4: And so I seek those kind of people out. 230 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,599 Speaker 7: You know, I seek encourages out because I often need encouragement. 231 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: I think you called it oxygen. I don't know, of 232 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: a better analogy to that, because Pastor Steve, there's a 233 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 3: lot of people both in full time ministry but even 234 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 3: in lay ministry that burn out easily and that without 235 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 3: a certain level of of balance in their life. For sure, 236 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: go and go and go and go, but it is 237 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 3: the encourager that comes alongside and says thank you for 238 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 3: doing that, and one word of thanks, one word of gratitude, 239 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 3: one word of hey, I was just thinking about you 240 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: and I just wanted to say you're important, that can 241 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 3: that can supercharge and super boost almost. I mean, that's 242 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: that's my feeling when I've had really low seasons and 243 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 3: someone that I didn't expect came along and said, hey, 244 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 3: I just wanted you to know that that little you know, 245 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 3: extra effort gave over here, it just made all the difference. Wow, 246 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 3: I mean the power boost that that surges through my 247 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 3: soul is just incredible. Yeah. 248 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 4: Somebody once said that a person can live. 249 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 7: Off of one compliment for a month, and you know, so, 250 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 7: you know, we need those kind of people who remind us. 251 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 7: I know, the past is sometimes you know, I'm always trying, 252 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 7: I'm always seeking a lawyer, and I'm always trying to 253 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 7: do everything as unto the Lord. But man, when somebody 254 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 7: comes to me and says to me, pastor see. 255 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 4: That word just really spoke to me. That helped me. 256 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 7: What you did for me, you know, whatever it might 257 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 7: have been, it reminds me of who I am. 258 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 4: It reminds me of what God's called me to do. 259 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 7: It reminds me that I'm okay, I'm doing I'm doing 260 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 7: an okay job. Right. So we need somebody that believes 261 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 7: in us, that speaks life into us. That's and also 262 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 7: helps us to refuse to quit. Someone who text us. 263 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 7: And you know, I have a group of people that 264 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 7: I meet with every morning in the gym, and the 265 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 7: Lord is doing such a great work through just being 266 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 7: at the gym with people that are Christians and non Christians. 267 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 7: And you know, I'll walk into the gym and I'll 268 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 7: just encourage people. It's amazing. You know, I don't even 269 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 7: know this person. He's working out with me and you know, 270 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 7: next to me, and I'm like, dude, you're awesome. Look 271 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 7: what you're doing. And you could just see his face 272 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 7: just light up, you know, and it opens up a conversation. 273 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 7: And believe it or not, some of those people are 274 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 7: now Christians today just simply because I gave them an 275 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 7: encouraging word about how they're working out, and it ended 276 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 7: up being a conversation about the Lord. And now there 277 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 7: are church serving Jesus as well. So encouragement is oxygen. 278 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 7: Everybody needs it in life. 279 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 3: It's one thing like if you're seeking out a mentor, 280 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 3: like we're talking about these four people that we need 281 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 3: to have in our lives, you can spot someone usually 282 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 3: who's older and wiser than you. I can do that. 283 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 3: I can ask them, do you want to be would 284 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 3: you mentor me? Would you come alongside and help me 285 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 3: learn things? How do you find an encourager if you 286 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 3: don't already have one? 287 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 7: Well, I think that the church is such an amazing place. 288 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 4: It's a community. And if you notice in Acts chapter two, you. 289 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 7: Know, God just puts together a community of people, right, 290 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 7: and that community of people are there to meet the 291 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 7: needs of each other. 292 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 4: You know, the Bible says they had all things in common. 293 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 7: And so I think that the way that we find 294 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 7: encourage just the same way we find mentors, encouragers, the 295 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 7: same way we find even you know, proteges and people 296 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 7: that are hold us accountable, is we've got to go 297 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 7: from Sunday morning attendance to really getting involved. 298 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 4: In small groups in our church. 299 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 7: I think small groups, when we call them one groups 300 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 7: in the church, that's where we find so much of 301 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 7: our encouragement. 302 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 4: And so I think we. 303 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 7: Start with, you know, either starting to serve in the church, 304 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 7: get involved in a small group, get involved in something 305 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 7: where you'll start to build relationships with people. 306 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 4: And let me tell you something, you. 307 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 7: Will always spot an encourager because the words that come 308 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 7: out of their mouth are always life words. You know, 309 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 7: you'll see it, you can say and if you need 310 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 7: an encourager in your life, begin to pray and ask 311 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 7: the Lord, and then just really start looking around in 312 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 7: the church, in your one group, in your in your 313 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 7: Sunday school class, whatever it may be, in the in 314 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 7: the support group, and listen to the words that comes 315 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 7: out of that person's mouth you know, or the people 316 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 7: around you. 317 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 4: You'll find that encouragement. 318 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,719 Speaker 7: And you know why, because encourages always speak life and 319 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 7: not death in everything they do. 320 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 3: I think that you hit on two really important things 321 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 3: that I just want to emphasize before we break for today. 322 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 3: But being in community with other people, there's a vulnerability 323 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 3: about that if you're meeting with people and studying and 324 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 3: praying together. If you have close contact, if you go 325 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 3: to their house, if you get together, they're going to 326 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 3: learn things about you. And you need to be willing 327 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 3: to be vulnerable, opening up and allowing you know, people 328 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 3: to have that proximity. I really have found in my 329 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 3: own life is what brings about the most. One of 330 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 3: the things that brings about the most encouragement. But the 331 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: other part I don't want to rush past is what 332 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 3: you said about serving. If there's in our church we 333 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 3: call them impact teams, But if there's a if there's 334 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 3: a ministry that needs to be done in the church, 335 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 3: and you're naturally skilled or gifted at it, and you think, hey, 336 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 3: I could do that. I could direct traffic, or I 337 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 3: could help with kill ministry, or I could serve on 338 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 3: the tech team, or I could do you know, coffee ministry. 339 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 3: In the morning, I can brew a cup of coffee, 340 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 3: whatever the needs are. Serving alongside other Christians has a 341 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 3: similar dynamic to meeting in a small group and that 342 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 3: you're all on mission together. And when you serve together, 343 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 3: people come alongside of you and you come alongside of them, 344 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 3: and that is a great way to, you know, allow 345 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 3: yourself to be ministered to and to be encouraged. 346 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 4: One hundred percent. 347 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 7: I think you find the right people when you get 348 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 7: around the right people, and that's community, that's church. 349 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, friends, I hope that you're being encouraged by 350 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 3: the series that we're discussing this week, because it really 351 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 3: is important to have four specific types of people in 352 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 3: your life. And I know where we're going for the 353 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 3: next couple of days. I've seen, I've looked ahead, I 354 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 3: already know, but I will just tell you I had 355 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 3: intuitively thought for many, many years that without these four 356 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 3: types of people in my life I would never really 357 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 3: be able to fulfill what God had called me to 358 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 3: do and to be. And I'm just grateful that Steve Malasso, 359 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 3: Pastor Steve, is breaking it all down for us and 360 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 3: helping us really understand it. This week, if you would 361 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: like more information about Pastor Steve's ministry and everything that 362 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 3: he's doing, go to bethlehemag dot org bethlehemag dot org. 363 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: And then if you're in the New York Tri state area, 364 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 3: why not this weekend, if you don't have anywhere else 365 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 3: to be, why don't you check out one of his 366 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 3: three campuses, Valley Stream, Rosedale or Baldwin, all in the 367 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 3: New York tri state area.

We are excited to have Bunny 379 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 3: Pounds joined us, join us. I just first saw her 380 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 3: name in a few emails about I don't know, six seven, 381 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 3: eight weeks ago and started finding out about what she 382 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 3: has been involved with called America Reads the Bible. It's 383 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 3: an incredible event. I want you to know all about it. 384 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 3: Bunny welcome. It's good to have you with us. 385 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 9: Well honored to be with you, Kevin, and honored to 386 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 9: have you reading the Bible with us in this national moment. 387 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 3: Nice filled all the good news. Well, we'll get to 388 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 3: that in a second. Let me ask you about why 389 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 3: this project is a passion for you, because we do 390 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 3: a segment called how do We Live? I believe in 391 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 3: the great spiritual being that will be looking out for 392 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 3: all of us. Everybody's like, Okay, I'm good with that 393 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 3: kind of God. But the God that's like, thus saith 394 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 3: the Lord, and here's where he said, this is what's 395 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 3: good for you, and this is not what's good for you, 396 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 3: and all the things that scripture gives us to help 397 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 3: us flourish. That's the God that the culture has a 398 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 3: problem with. And so I don't think it changes our mission. 399 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 3: We still got to be on mission and living winsomely 400 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 3: and telling people about the good news of who Jesus is. 401 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 3: But we do think about this a lot from the 402 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 3: biblical perspective. And I'm curious, why is it so important 403 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 3: to you? 404 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 10: Yeah, So from April eighteen to twenty. 405 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 9: Five, we're going to have over five hundred of our 406 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 9: national leaders read the Bible all the way through Kevin. 407 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 10: And why is that important? 408 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 9: Because, as you just said, we really don't know the 409 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 9: story of God. We don't know the whole Council of God. 410 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 9: We don't know the character and knowledge of God as 411 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 9: a country, and what an amazing moment that we have 412 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 9: to be grateful to God for our constitution outlasting every 413 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 9: constitution in world history. 414 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 10: This idea started for me. 415 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 9: I was in the Museum of the Bible two years ago, 416 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 9: sitting there on a pew looking at Ezra standing up 417 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 9: with a scroll reading over the Israelites, who their identity 418 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 9: was in Scripture, And it hits me, this is the 419 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 9: problem with the American people. I had just got done 420 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 9: writing a draft of my new book coming out on 421 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 9: the Book of Nehemayah called Stepping Up to Lead. And 422 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 9: my goal in life is through Christians Engaged, is to 423 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 9: teach people how to be good stewards of our country, 424 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 9: to pray, vote, engage and take ownership of our amazing 425 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 9: land and be the leaders God's called them to be. 426 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 9: But it hits me, we don't know who we are 427 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 9: in the American Church, and we need a national moment 428 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 9: of our national leaders who do love God, that do 429 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 9: go to His word every day, to tell the American 430 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 9: people stories, to tell them how important the wisdom found 431 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 9: in Scripture is to their life and call them back 432 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 9: to daily Bible reading and discipleship so that we can 433 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 9: have a new caliber of leaders for the next generation 434 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 9: of America. And what if we did that in the 435 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 9: backdrop of the two hundred and fiftieth So, yeah, fourteen 436 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 9: months into this, here we are, and it is really 437 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 9: going to be an amazing moment that we can all 438 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 9: take advantage of it. 439 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a good configuration of events that are 440 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 3: all coming together. Because even if we just dig into 441 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 3: our own nation's history, we start to understand why faith 442 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 3: mattered to our founders to the level that it did. 443 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 3: Not that any of them were perfect. They weren't. There 444 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 3: were no perfect people, but they did depend upon God. 445 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 3: And when you talk about the Constitution and our declaration 446 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 3: of independence outlasting so many other countries, I think that 447 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 3: that's all tied into it, whether it's expressly written out 448 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 3: as you know Proverbs twelve was our inspiration for this 449 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 3: or that. No, they were saturated in the truth of scripture, 450 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 3: in the knowledge of God who he was, and they 451 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 3: wanted to craft a country that honored Him, even if 452 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 3: they were imperfect in doing so. The Bible, though, reading 453 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 3: it cover to cover and thank you for giving me 454 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 3: firs Timothy four through six because those three chapters I 455 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 3: love and they're really like, very typical of what we 456 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 3: talk about here on the air. So it's kind of 457 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 3: cool that you matched me up with that passage. But 458 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 3: how did you get the five hundred people to jump 459 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 3: on board? 460 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 10: Well, it's a long, lengthy process. 461 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 9: We started with reaching out to national ministry sharing the vision. 462 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 9: We have one hundred and twenty two national ministries now 463 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 9: that are either sponsors or decided they're putting up one reader, 464 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 9: two readers, or five readers, depending on what they wanted. 465 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 3: Perhaps to say. Sale Media was the first media group 466 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 3: that said, yeah, we want to be involved, and even 467 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: our CEO, Dave Sentrella is going to be involved personally. 468 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 3: So I just want people that are listening or watching 469 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 3: to know that we as a company, we really care 470 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 3: about this. 471 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,719 Speaker 9: Yeah, Salem bought Radio, American Family, and Hope Media are 472 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 9: all involved and it's really a blessing to have Salem 473 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 9: involved in this. 474 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 10: You guys are just amazing. 475 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 9: One of your board members, Jackie Deeson, is a dear 476 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 9: friend has been a part of this project from the beginning. 477 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 10: But yeah, we. 478 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 9: Started with the ministries, then we started with elected officials 479 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 9: and celebrities knowing we had certain spots for them. We 480 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 9: had about fifty spots, as we call them, expert readers. 481 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 10: That we spent. 482 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 9: My vice president, Ben Kuin spent six months of his 483 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 9: life recruiting university professors, college presidents, pastors that would be 484 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 9: willing to read hard passages. We were joking with doctor 485 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 9: Lynn Munzl of Arizona Christian University is like, I think 486 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 9: you guys gave me the worst passage for me to 487 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 9: dive into all these names. But all of this is important, Kevin. 488 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 9: All of it is important because it tells an underlying story. 489 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 9: And what we really want people to understand is that 490 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 9: God can speak through every page of scripture. 491 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 10: You know, we have to start going to. 492 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 9: The Bible every day, not before the sexy parts of 493 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 9: the Bible, but to go God, what is this in. 494 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 10: Neemiah five that can bless my life? 495 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 9: Is there something in this that tells me something about 496 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,959 Speaker 9: you and tells me something about myself and tells me 497 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 9: something about what you're doing on the earth. And the 498 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 9: more that we understand that, Kevin, the greater leaders will 499 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 9: be because it won't be about us, It'll be about 500 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 9: a greater story. 501 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 3: Hold that thought by twenty Pounds, present and founder of 502 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 3: America reads the Bible. We're going to take a quick 503 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 3: break when we come back. I want to just kind 504 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 3: of expand on a couple of things that you mentioned there, 505 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 3: because I think you hit on some really important points 506 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 3: that are that are not being discussed even from pulpits today. 507 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 3: Stay with us. It's Kevin mckella from Times Square. I 508 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 3: don't go anywhere. 509 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 5: Here. He is from New York. That Kevin Kevin McCullough. 510 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 3: Alcome back Kevin mccullaugh somewhere in April eighteenth through the 511 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 3: twenty fifth. I'm a guess somewhere around the twenty second. 512 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 3: I'm just going to guess, like where we're at in 513 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 3: the New Testament. I'll probably be on the twenty second somewhere. 514 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 3: You may know, Bunny Pounds specifically where my appearance will 515 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 3: be in this reading of the scriptures. But I'm going 516 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 3: to guess, based on the length of scripture and the 517 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 3: number of days that I'm going to fall somewhere in 518 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 3: that early twenties. 519 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 9: You're actually the final day the New Testament doesn't start. 520 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 3: To go all the way to the twenty fifth. Well, 521 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 3: you know, what that's my son's birthday, So happy birthday 522 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 3: me for my firstborn, who's named after the apostle James 523 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 3: so Well. I didn't get a passage in his book 524 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 3: We'll We'll Live with Firs. Timothy Bunny Pounds, founder and 525 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 3: President of America reads, the Bible has gone to great 526 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 3: length to pull together you said five hundred of these folks. 527 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 3: And one of the things I've been grateful for. Because 528 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 3: we go to a church that's very expositional in its teaching, 529 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 3: we don't do a lot of We don't do any 530 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 3: of these like here's the twelve Steps to have a 531 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 3: Better Friendship kind of sundays. That's just not our stuff. 532 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 3: We go, okay, Joshua, chapter three, Boom, here's what's going on. 533 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 3: This is what it meant to them, This is what 534 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 3: it means to us. I like that my kids are 535 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 3: growing up in a biblically literate church and home because 536 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 3: we haven't access to that. But the scripture has on 537 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 3: even some level escaped the church in recent years, where 538 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 3: people are turning to it less and less and they're 539 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 3: talking more about lifestyle stuff. And I don't really think 540 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 3: that that serves our culture very well. If we are 541 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 3: trying to be people that are on the mission to 542 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 3: tell the good news of who Jesus is to everyone 543 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 3: we come into contact with. I think we have to 544 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 3: actually tell them what his Word says. 545 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 9: One hundred percent, Kevin, There's got to be a balance. 546 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 9: I think we're all appreciate certain topical messages every now 547 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 9: and then that hit on a specific topic that we 548 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 9: can relate to, but it's got to be completely laced 549 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 9: with scripture. It's got to be biblically founded. But that 550 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 9: is the problem. I think some of us in previous generation, 551 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 9: we grew up with Sunday schools and Bible studies and 552 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 9: all of that. The next generation is not getting that 553 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 9: as much. We are depending on a twenty minute message 554 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 9: from a local pastor if we're even going to church 555 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 9: at all. So that's part of the call here, Kevin, 556 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 9: is that there's no way I could be a leader, 557 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 9: that you could be a leader, that your call to 558 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 9: be here if you didn't have scripture laced into your 559 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 9: life and your history and your story. And so for 560 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 9: gen Z, for millennials, for all. We want to call 561 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 9: families to read the Word together. We want to call 562 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 9: churches to start public readings of scripture. But we're going 563 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 9: to read the whole Bible together as a nation. And 564 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 9: this is going to be live streamed on Great American Pureflicks, 565 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 9: live and free to the American people in front of 566 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 9: their paywall. And some people need to get on a 567 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 9: plane and just be a part of this in the 568 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 9: room at the Museum of the Bible, come to our 569 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 9: opening celebration.

In our Food for the Poor effort, 674 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 3: there were several more children helped yesterday and friends. I 675 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 3: just think that we have until the end of this month, 676 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 3: and I believe that in doing so, we could set 677 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 3: a precedent that's been very very difficult for people to handle, 678 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 3: you know, in terms of doing what's what's really really 679 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 3: good right now, I believe of all of the Salem 680 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 3: media hosts that are in the company, I think we 681 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 3: are somewhere around let's just say, we're about two hundred 682 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 3: children away from being somewhere in the lead on that 683 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 3: we have this month to be able to do that. 684 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 3: And it doesn't matter to me if I beat my 685 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 3: colleagues or not in terms of helping the most kids. 686 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 3: What I want to do is just not leave any 687 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 3: of the kids behind. And we've already helped seven hundred 688 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 3: plus going on near eight hundred before long. Could could 689 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 3: we could we feed and clothe and give a clean 690 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 3: drinking water to a thousand children this year? That would 691 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 3: be so amazing if we could pull that off. Eight 692 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 3: fy five nine oh seven four six seven three is 693 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 3: the number. Eight fy five nine zero seven four six 694 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 3: seven three. But these are children that don't have food 695 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 3: to eat on a regular basis, and when we take 696 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 3: care of one for seventy five dollars. That child now 697 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 3: immediately begins to get two meals a day for the 698 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 3: next year. So they go from maybe having one meal 699 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 3: a week or every few days trying to eat some 700 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 3: boiled bark or something else like that in the meantime 701 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 3: to just satiate their hunger, going from that situation into 702 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 3: two nutritionally balanced, nutritionally fit for them meals, which means 703 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 3: that they need a lot of really simple carbohydrates and 704 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 3: lots of simple proteins that will help their body overcome 705 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 3: the malnutrition, and then it begins to help them grow, 706 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 3: which is ultimately the purpose of the food is to 707 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 3: help the child grow. Equally important, if not more so, 708 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 3: the clean drinking water allows them to now have a 709 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 3: water source that they don't have to worry about being 710 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 3: sick from.

This should be 777 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 3: well publicly available. Demand plan demands that the US end 778 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,879 Speaker 3: all primary and secondary sanctions against Tehran, as well as 779 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 3: that Iran received full control over the Strait of Hormuz. 780 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 3: The plan also demands an end to the US attacks 781 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 3: on Iran and its allies. What allies? Oh, you mean 782 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,720 Speaker 3: the terrorist groups? Okay, got it, a withdrawal of US 783 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,720 Speaker 3: forces from the Middle East, the release of frozen Iranian assets, 784 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 3: and a United Nations resolution stating that the agreement will 785 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 3: be binding. The US would also have to compensate Iran 786 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 3: for damage occurred during the war and accept Iran's right 787 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:48,839 Speaker 3: to enrich uranium. According to the plan, this is funny. 788 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 3: In exchange, Iran would commit to not to build a 789 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,439 Speaker 3: commit not to build nuclear weapons, and enter into peace 790 00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 3: agreements with its regional neighbors. Distance himself from the plan 791 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 3: released to the public on Wednesday. Numerous agreements, lists and 792 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,839 Speaker 3: letters are being sought out by people that have absolutely 793 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 3: nothing to do with the USA Iran negotiation. In many cases, 794 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 3: they are total fraudsters, Charlatan's and worst. Trump wrote on 795 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 3: truth Social there is only one group of meaningful points 796 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 3: that are acceptable to the United States, and we will 797 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 3: be discussing them behind closed door during these negotiations. These 798 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 3: are the points that are the basis on which we 799 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 3: agree to a ceasefire. Rnian President Mussud Prajekian claimed on 800 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 3: Tuesday that the US had accepted the general principles desired 801 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,720 Speaker 3: by Iran. The public plan already has critics within the US, however, 802 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 3: as some Trump's allies have voiced opposition to key portions 803 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 3: the supposed negotiating and document, in my view, has some 804 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 3: troubling aspects, said Lindsay Graham. Allowing this regime to enrich 805 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 3: in the future would be in a front. Well, we're 806 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,120 Speaker 3: not going to do that. So again, the presidents are that, 807 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 3: he said, the only points that he's negotiating off of 808 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 3: are the fifteen that we brought to the table. He's 809 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 3: confirmed that the US will not agree to certain points 810 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,720 Speaker 3: of Iran's proposed deal, referencing the country's nuclear program. These 811 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 3: guys are really I do not get that. Your insistence 812 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 3: on being able to enrich uranium was what brought us 813 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 3: to your doorstep to begin with. Just stop it and 814 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 3: know you don't get to run the Straight of Horm moves. 815 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 3: That should be an international collection of countries that have 816 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 3: interests in the Strait on a regular basis. By the way, 817 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 3: the US doesn't need to be there. We don't gain 818 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,720 Speaker 3: anything from the Strait of Horror moves. You do Europe, 819 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 3: you do Middle East, you do Israel and Persia and 820 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 3: the region. But the US doesn't gain anything from the 821 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 3: Strait of Horn. We don't need the Straight of Horn moves. 822 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 3: We have all the oil and gas we need, and 823 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 3: that's for you guys to figure out, So good luck 824 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 3: on all that. The Saudi Arabian government said it intercepted 825 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:11,240 Speaker 3: and destroyed not one, but nine drones on Wednesday, despite 826 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 3: President trump ceasefire deal.

The regime in Tehran has 836 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 3: launched retaliatory strikes towards Saudi Arabia and other neighboring countries 837 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 3: in the Middle East since the beginning of Operation etpic 838 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,359 Speaker 3: fury now would why they would send drones their way 839 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 3: last night seems really dumb to me, because Saudi Arabia 840 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,400 Speaker 3: is the is the game, baby. Whatever Saudi Arabia backs 841 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 3: in the region. That's generally how all of the Sunni 842 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 3: Arab states go. We're this close to getting Saudi Arabia 843 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 3: to join the Abraham Accords, and when that happens, Iran's 844 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 3: going to be in a really bad place. Because it's 845 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,920 Speaker 3: one thing to be a military ally of other countries. 846 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 3: You have a certain degree of strength if you're a 847 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 3: military ally. If you're doing business and commerce with them, 848 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 3: and you're a military ally, now you are. It's like 849 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 3: a marriage. It's like you two are sewn together. And 850 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 3: that's what the Abraham Accords have allowed Israel and Middle 851 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 3: Eastern countries to do, and Middle Eastern countries and the 852 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:47,400 Speaker 3: US to do. That's why the Abraham Accords have held. 853 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 3: Through all of the Gaza and Iranian fighting, not one 854 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,240 Speaker 3: Arab country has been peeled off taking up the cause 855 00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 3: of the terrorists because they're now incentivized economically aligned with 856 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 3: the US and our interests. You don't even have to 857 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 3: fight wars when this kind of stuff goes down, because 858 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 3: they say, hey, we're working on things together. We want 859 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 3: to be in good standing with one another. It's the 860 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 3: as far as I'm concerned, it's the way to do 861 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:24,760 Speaker 3: foreign policy. Get in there and work on projects together, 862 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 3: fund some things together, work on things together, learn how 863 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 3: to live at peace with one another, and then you've 864 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 3: got each other's back when the time really comes. But 865 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,880 Speaker 3: what Iran's doing here doesn't make any sense. They say 866 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 3: that they're going to abide by the ceasefire, but then 867 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 3: they fire nine drones at Saudi Arabia. They're lucky Saudi 868 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 3: Arabia has not unleashed on them because they could. Chuck 869 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,920 Speaker 3: Schumer in New York called Trump a military moron and 870 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 3: says the US is worse off now than when the 871 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:02,800 Speaker 3: Iran war started, asserting that his war, with a price 872 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,840 Speaker 3: tag of forty four billion and four dollars a gallon gas, 873 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,600 Speaker 3: made us worse off today than when we started. I 874 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 3: don't know how that's true. If you've gotten a ceasefire 875 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 3: resolution and you've deep and you've decapitated terrorists, Schumer said, 876 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 3: if he restarts this war will be in even worse shape. 877 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,239 Speaker 3: We must pass our war powers resolution. Okay, whatever that 878 00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 3: the war powers resolution stuff doesn't hold up in court. 879 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,319 Speaker 3: You're not the commander in chief, Chuck Schumer. I know 880 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,480 Speaker 3: there's some part of your base that you're trying to 881 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 3: make a point to but I think in general, even 882 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 3: New Yorkers are going to say, hey, the fighting in 883 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,800 Speaker 3: Iran came to an end. That's a good thing. Of course, 884 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:44,879 Speaker 3: Alexandria Ocasio Cretes could not let the moment go without 885 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 3: embarrassing herself. She said Tuesday after the president announced the ceasefire. 886 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,799 Speaker 3: Listen to this. This is so good she She's good 887 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 3: for me because she just makes me laugh. It's it's it, 888 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 3: literally is he took the most uneducated bartender and you 889 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:06,319 Speaker 3: put her in Congress because that's what she did. She 890 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 3: said on X The ceasefire change is nothing, whether by 891 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,800 Speaker 3: his cabinet or Congress, this president must be removed from office. Alexandria, 892 00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 3: I have to tell you that meme has been floated 893 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 3: and it's not working anymore.

In fact, you 922 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 3: took some of their early kind of adoption of technology 923 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 3: and trying to use technology to help patients and kind 924 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 3: of really pioneer a lane for yourself that's kind of unparalleled. 925 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,520 Speaker 3: And I want people to know that swell Care dot 926 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,120 Speaker 3: health is where they can go and access what you're 927 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 3: doing now swell care all when we're dot H A 928 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:32,000 Speaker 3: L T H. But because you have such a wide 929 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,480 Speaker 3: knowledge base of so many different medical things, I want 930 00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 3: to hit some of the hot buttons today. And in 931 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:43,759 Speaker 3: recent months, I have heard the term perimenopause, and I've 932 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:48,319 Speaker 3: seen more headlines about menopause and about all kinds of 933 00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,400 Speaker 3: things related to that stage of life. And I think 934 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 3: I've ever seen my entire life leading up to that. 935 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 3: So I don't know why that stage of life and 936 00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 3: this kind of it seems like perimenopause, and acording to 937 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,480 Speaker 3: some women that you talk with about, it is kind 938 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,480 Speaker 3: of like a joke and they kind of make fun 939 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:05,920 Speaker 3: of each other with it, and that sort of thing. 940 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,759 Speaker 3: I don't but walk us through what is happening with 941 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 3: that change of life in our culture, in the medical circles. 942 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 3: What's happening on that topic right now? 943 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 14: Certainly, Kevin, this is an amazing time in the history 944 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:25,359 Speaker 14: of women's healthcare because for decades, decades, I mean when 945 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 14: I was going through training, and that was fifteen years ago. 946 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 14: We were always taught and told that once a woman 947 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,360 Speaker 14: goes into menopause, and to take a step back and 948 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,960 Speaker 14: define it. Menopause is the time in a woman's life 949 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,560 Speaker 14: when she's no longer able to have children. She can 950 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 14: no longer bear children, and your hormones start to change, 951 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,560 Speaker 14: predominantly the estrogen, the progesterone, and the levels that they 952 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 14: are at when you're in your reproductive years. They start 953 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 14: to get a little crazy, the cycles get irregular. There's 954 00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 14: lots of mood swings, exhaustion, hair loss, skin change, is 955 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 14: bone loss. All that stuff usually starts to happen in 956 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,360 Speaker 14: the mid to late forties for most women to fifties. 957 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,120 Speaker 14: And for decades we were told you can't do anything, 958 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,759 Speaker 14: there's nothing you can do, no treatments, just good luck. 959 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:15,320 Speaker 14: Sometimes we would even prescribe antidepressants, say, oh, here's some antidepressants, 960 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,480 Speaker 14: taef you feel better, which don't take hormones because you'll 961 00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 14: have a heart attack or you'll have a stroke, and 962 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,719 Speaker 14: that'll be very very dangerous for you. Even as a doctor, 963 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:27,120 Speaker 14: they would say, don't do that. But now research has 964 00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:31,040 Speaker 14: actually shown and they've removed that recommendation and it's now 965 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,759 Speaker 14: okay and considered to be healthy and advisable for women 966 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 14: that are going through that change in their life to 967 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:42,000 Speaker 14: receive hormonal support prescribe by their doctor so that they 968 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,239 Speaker 14: can feel as good as possible while they're going through 969 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:45,840 Speaker 14: that transition. 970 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 3: Is there an organic or natural component to hormones versus 971 00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 3: an artificial or synthetic component that played into that debate 972 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,440 Speaker 3: or was it just the use of hormones themselves. 973 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 14: I think when the studies themselves are being done, they're 974 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 14: almost always using pharmaceuticals, not the compounded types. There are 975 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 14: compounds that a pharmacy can make for you, which if 976 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,480 Speaker 14: you're using the right kind of pharmacy, they'll be qualified, certified, 977 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 14: registered with their state board, passing all their inspections, and 978 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 14: you can feel confident that what's coming to you is 979 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,120 Speaker 14: safe for you to consume. Or you can do the 980 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,240 Speaker 14: name brand stuff at your pharmacy that your insurance will cover. 981 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,759 Speaker 14: So I'm sure that most of the studies that have 982 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,360 Speaker 14: been done have been on the name brand stuff. But 983 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 14: the good news is the industry has been far ahead 984 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,400 Speaker 14: of the regulations. I mean for the last probably ten 985 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 14: to fifteen years. Women have just done it anyways. They 986 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,759 Speaker 14: have to pay cash for it, insurance doesn't cover it, 987 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 14: and we've had to have a lot of consent forms 988 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 14: and educational things to say, Okay, you know, you could 989 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,560 Speaker 14: in theory have a heart attack or stroke, but there's 990 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:56,160 Speaker 14: a lot. 991 00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 2: Of options out there. 992 00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,560 Speaker 14: There's lots of functional medicine providers and pharmacies that give 993 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,800 Speaker 14: women access to a lot of choices. 994 00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,479 Speaker 3: And by the way, we have one of those great 995 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,640 Speaker 3: compound pharmacies sponsoring this part of the show each week, 996 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:13,480 Speaker 3: PDXR PDPD labs RX dot com. Friends, if you are 997 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,880 Speaker 3: looking for a reliable compound pharmacy. But let me ask you, 998 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 3: doctor Laura Purdy, why was the negativity in the argument 999 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 3: to begin with? Was there a sense that you were 1000 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,640 Speaker 3: messing with nature? What was the what did what was 1001 00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,960 Speaker 3: the thinking? I mean, I know at one point in time, 1002 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,839 Speaker 3: medical practitioners thought leeches were good to bleed people when 1003 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 3: they had disease and stuff. So I know we've come 1004 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 3: a long way in terms of like trial and error 1005 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 3: and actually figuring out stuff that's real. But what did 1006 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 3: they what did they try to tell people that they 1007 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,400 Speaker 3: were going to be more likely to be exposed to 1008 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,560 Speaker 3: things like cancer or what was the argument. 1009 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:55,239 Speaker 14: No, I honestly, I genuinely think it was largely a 1010 00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,920 Speaker 14: gender discrepancy. I mean, I know that's kind of an 1011 00:56:57,960 --> 00:56:59,839 Speaker 14: easy button to hit, but if you think about it, 1012 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,319 Speaker 14: about it this way. Men have been able to take 1013 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 14: testosterone whenever they have low testosterone for decades, and that 1014 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,160 Speaker 14: actually does increase their risk of stroke. 1015 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 2: It can make your blood thicker, it can hurt your liver. 1016 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,120 Speaker 14: You've got to take all these tests when you're on 1017 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,960 Speaker 14: testosterone to make sure that you're not having thick blood 1018 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,080 Speaker 14: count or your livers, you know, not having problems. And 1019 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,920 Speaker 14: despite the fact that there are risks, men have been 1020 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 14: taking it for decades, and I think for women there 1021 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:31,040 Speaker 14: was probably less research, less funding allocated, and it just 1022 00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,480 Speaker 14: it was not a messing with nature. It's a direct 1023 00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 14: analogy to the testosterone thing. And there's actually lower risk 1024 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 14: of side effects with the estrogen than there is the testosterone. 1025 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 2: So I think it just took that long for. 1026 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 14: Enough people to care enough about studying it to produce 1027 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 14: the right kind of data to override maybe some old 1028 00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 14: stuff that wasn't high quality that said heart. 1029 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 2: Attack and stroke risk. If you take estrogen. 1030 00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 3: But to be clear, what you're saying now is that 1031 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 3: the official recommendation is that there's not a necessarily increased 1032 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 3: chance of stroke. 1033 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,480 Speaker 14: I think the exact recommendation is that it can be used, 1034 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,880 Speaker 14: it can be treated, and it can be done safely. 1035 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 14: There are some patients that will have a higher risk 1036 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,080 Speaker 14: of breast cancer, you know, like, for example, if you're 1037 00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 14: increasing their estrogen, So do you have to make sure 1038 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,280 Speaker 14: you're still getting your mammograms and doing any blood work 1039 00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,760 Speaker 14: that's relevant for you minimizing your. 1040 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 2: Cardiac risk if you have a higher risk. 1041 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 14: But the generic blanket recommendation that no women should ever 1042 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 14: have it for any reason has been what is gone now? 1043 00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:38,280 Speaker 3: Well, that's that is certainly a threshold that is historic 1044 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,240 Speaker 3: in nature. And just hearing you talk about it makes 1045 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 3: me think of why I hate all the pharmaceutical ads 1046 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:50,000 Speaker 3: on TV, because there were there are companies invested in 1047 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:51,960 Speaker 3: trying to get you to try all kinds of things. 1048 00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 3: And I literally heard one, I think it was in 1049 00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:55,959 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, and I turned to my wife, I said, 1050 00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,880 Speaker 3: that's a new disclaimer. The side effect, the negative potential 1051 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 3: negative side effect was death. And yet they're saying, but 1052 00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 3: ask your doctor if you can take it. I'm like, Okay, 1053 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 3: maybe we can find maybe some other things that might work. 1054 00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,520 Speaker 3: I do think that the market should be unless it's 1055 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,000 Speaker 3: just really posing an overwhelming danger to the citizenry. I 1056 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 3: think that there should be a lot of leeway for 1057 00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 3: doctors and patients to figure out what works best individually 1058 00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,400 Speaker 3: for each person that they're dealing with. Because you know, 1059 00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,400 Speaker 3: as well as Innybody, doctor Purdy, none of us know, 1060 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,040 Speaker 3: two of us are exactly alike, right. 1061 00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:36,280 Speaker 14: We believe in patient autonomy but also shared decision making. 1062 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,320 Speaker 14: Just like before you have a surgery. There's always risk 1063 00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,320 Speaker 14: associated with surgery, but we do it anyways a lot 1064 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 14: of times. 1065 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,760 Speaker 2: So talking about the risk, talking about suitability. 1066 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,400 Speaker 14: And the patient, I mean, you're assuming the risk, You're 1067 00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,600 Speaker 14: taking on the risk yourself. And I'm happy that we 1068 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 14: now have the opportunity to let women have more of 1069 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,919 Speaker 14: a choice in what they do for their lives, their 1070 00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,960 Speaker 14: bodies at that stay in their life. 1071 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,440 Speaker 3: One of the things that you have really pioneered is 1072 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:08,440 Speaker 3: the whole concept of digital medicine and telemeds and the 1073 01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 3: ability to treat people at a distance and to be 1074 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 3: able to treat more people and Swellcare. Dot health is 1075 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:18,760 Speaker 3: a really shining example of how modern day healthcare is done. 1076 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 3: What's the latest in that field? We have a couple 1077 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,880 Speaker 3: of minutes before first break, just what's the latest in 1078 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,360 Speaker 3: terms of what's developing for patients. That's really kind of 1079 01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:29,000 Speaker 3: cutting edge. 1080 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,920 Speaker 14: Well, telemedicine is here to stay, and it's really interesting 1081 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 14: because there are lots and lots and lots of companies 1082 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:40,640 Speaker 14: out there that sub specialize in different facets of medicine. 1083 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,440 Speaker 14: But now we have access to lots of different pharmacies 1084 01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,480 Speaker 14: that create lots of different products and lots of. 1085 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,440 Speaker 2: Different ways to connect with patients. 1086 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 14: The state laws have been loosening up a little, so 1087 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:56,240 Speaker 14: when it comes to chat phone video, we have better 1088 01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,160 Speaker 14: tools and technology and regulations than we did before. So 1089 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 14: I think now is an amazing time for women. Actually, 1090 01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:07,560 Speaker 14: menopause is a great issue to treat virtually because as 1091 01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,840 Speaker 14: long as you've had a mammogram, where you've had some 1092 01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,920 Speaker 14: blood work, and you're having an annual physical with your doctor, 1093 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,600 Speaker 14: we can actually pick it up from there and help 1094 01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,360 Speaker 14: you virtually without sending you to an in person office 1095 01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:21,080 Speaker 14: every couple of weeks. 1096 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,520 Speaker 3: Well, that's a huge benefit to everybody.

Doctor Purdy, before you took time off 1109 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,439 Speaker 3: and had your baby and disappeared for a little while 1110 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:27,680 Speaker 3: before you came back. The weight loss, weight loss, weight loss, 1111 01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 3: weight loss. Everybody's talking weight loss. Everybody's doing weight loss. 1112 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,720 Speaker 3: Everybody seems to have done pretty good with weight loss. 1113 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,000 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm seeing people on TV that I knew 1114 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 3: in person twenty years ago. I don't recognize them because 1115 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,680 Speaker 3: they've lost so much weight. But you have like major 1116 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:46,600 Speaker 3: major global superstars like Serena Williams, who's you know, doing 1117 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:50,440 Speaker 3: endorsements on GLP shots and other things. There's been a 1118 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,360 Speaker 3: lot of controversy. There's been a lot of questions, there's 1119 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,440 Speaker 3: been a lot of lawsuits, there's been a lot of 1120 01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:58,520 Speaker 3: people looking under the hood at the different types of 1121 01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,200 Speaker 3: weight loss products that are out there, not just GLP 1122 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:06,040 Speaker 3: ones or twos, but whatever the tetrahydrocide or whatever that's 1123 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,959 Speaker 3: called is. But there's so many different ways that people 1124 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:10,800 Speaker 3: are going about it. Now, give us a kind of 1125 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,360 Speaker 3: a state of the state on weight loss from where 1126 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:13,960 Speaker 3: you sit. 1127 01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 14: Absolutely, and I feel like I should give it as claimer. 1128 01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,640 Speaker 14: This is not legal advice, it's not medical advice. We're 1129 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 14: just having a conversation. Okay, right, So what has happened 1130 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,840 Speaker 14: over the last few years now, Swell Medical Orswellcare dot Health, 1131 01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:30,200 Speaker 14: we've been treating patients for weight loss since twenty twenty one, 1132 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:34,240 Speaker 14: right after the pandemic. We have this massive collection of 1133 01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,000 Speaker 14: patients that we had for urgent care and the first 1134 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,000 Speaker 14: wave of weight loss patients we're seeing us in twenty 1135 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:40,480 Speaker 14: twenty one. 1136 01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 2: So we've been doing this for five years. 1137 01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 3: Okay. 1138 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,120 Speaker 14: What has happened is when the name brand medications came 1139 01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:50,160 Speaker 14: out five years ago, there was dismal access most insurances 1140 01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,920 Speaker 14: would not cover it. Most patients didn't have the proper 1141 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,200 Speaker 14: paperwork and blood work that they needed to get the 1142 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,720 Speaker 14: insurance to pay for it. Even if they would and 1143 01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,120 Speaker 14: the coverage would stop and start, it would be there, 1144 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:00,920 Speaker 14: it would disappear. 1145 01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,680 Speaker 2: Family members could get it, they couldn't. 1146 01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,960 Speaker 14: It was a disaster, and the only medications that existed 1147 01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 14: were name brand for diabetes. Fast forward, more medications specifically 1148 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:14,280 Speaker 14: came out name brand for obesity, and then they got 1149 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,760 Speaker 14: additional conditions added to them like sleep apnea on a 1150 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:23,000 Speaker 14: kidney disease, cardiovascular mortality, which is huge. And then due 1151 01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,880 Speaker 14: to supply issues because in those early years it was 1152 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,440 Speaker 14: impossible to get supply in certain parts of the country. 1153 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,360 Speaker 14: It was absolutely an access to care issue. And for 1154 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,680 Speaker 14: some patients we would send them prescriptions to two, three, 1155 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:38,800 Speaker 14: four five pharmacies and would get nothing, despite the fact 1156 01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,440 Speaker 14: that the insurance company would say, oh, we have adequate supply. 1157 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,080 Speaker 14: So that's when the compounding pharmacies stepped in. Right, wrong 1158 01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,200 Speaker 14: or indifferent, right, this is just the way that it worked. 1159 01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:52,240 Speaker 14: The compounding pharmacy stepped in to create using the raw materials, 1160 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,959 Speaker 14: the products, and a lot of times they would add 1161 01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,960 Speaker 14: in additional medication, so they weren't infringing on the copyright 1162 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,680 Speaker 14: like B twelve for fatigue B sale for Nava glycine 1163 01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:06,600 Speaker 14: for muscle bulking, because you technically can't mass produce something 1164 01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:10,360 Speaker 14: that's underpatent. Fast forwarding from there, it opened up a 1165 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,720 Speaker 14: gold rush to the entire country because now this is 1166 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,440 Speaker 14: essentially seen as a way for people. 1167 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:17,840 Speaker 2: To make money. 1168 01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:21,400 Speaker 14: So all of these companies, many of whom were already 1169 01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 14: providing other services to patients, they had big patient databases. 1170 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:29,720 Speaker 14: They all immediately decided that they were going to do glps. 1171 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:33,280 Speaker 14: So we call it the GLP gold rush. And the 1172 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 14: industry was flooded with hundreds of companies, And now it's 1173 01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:41,120 Speaker 14: being flooded with hundreds of people that don't actually come 1174 01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:45,920 Speaker 14: from the healthcare industry, affiliate marketers, tech people, business people, 1175 01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:49,880 Speaker 14: and they're all trying to create GLP companies as fast 1176 01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:53,080 Speaker 14: as they can to sell the highest quantity at the 1177 01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,520 Speaker 14: lowest dollar value of these medications. 1178 01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 2: What I'm seeing these days is. 1179 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:05,080 Speaker 14: A massive commercialization of the entire industry, low quality. They've 1180 01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:08,680 Speaker 14: eliminated the human touch. I've had people tell me that 1181 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:13,760 Speaker 14: their consultations this is true. Founders of GLP companies that 1182 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:17,080 Speaker 14: tell me the average time of a consultation is zero 1183 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:18,240 Speaker 14: point eight seconds. 1184 01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:19,080 Speaker 2: I know. 1185 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 14: But what's happening is they're running it like like affiliate marketing. 1186 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 14: You could think they're just blasting out these performance marketing ads, 1187 01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,200 Speaker 14: trying to get the lowest cost for patient acquisition, pay 1188 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,400 Speaker 14: the doctors the lowest amount of money, automate everything they 1189 01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,600 Speaker 14: can inside the system, and they're really just trying to. 1190 01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 2: Make as much money as possible. I mean, that is 1191 01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:39,360 Speaker 2: the fact. 1192 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,959 Speaker 14: So they've removed what I consider to be the most 1193 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,000 Speaker 14: important part of the whole thing, which is the doctor 1194 01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:47,440 Speaker 14: patient connection. 1195 01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:51,439 Speaker 2: It's the relationship between the clinician and. 1196 01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,320 Speaker 14: The patient on the other side of it, where the 1197 01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,760 Speaker 14: magic happens, where the healing happens, and that's been essentially 1198 01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:01,560 Speaker 14: removed or substituted with automated systems that these businesses can 1199 01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,800 Speaker 14: just sell as much as they want of their high volume, 1200 01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:06,240 Speaker 14: low dollar product. 1201 01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,240 Speaker 2: And so for the records, we don't operate that way. 1202 01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 3: What's the fix for that? What do you guys do 1203 01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:13,880 Speaker 3: that distinguishes you from that kind of mass chaos. 1204 01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 14: Well, I have got a slight glimpse into what I 1205 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,360 Speaker 14: hope is the future of healthcare regulation because in the 1206 01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:25,440 Speaker 14: state of Iowa they actually started regulating medspas at the 1207 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:29,360 Speaker 14: state Medical board level. Now medspas are not telemedicine companies. 1208 01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,760 Speaker 14: But what I hope that's going to do is set 1209 01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:36,840 Speaker 14: a precedent to have regulatory oversight over all businesses that 1210 01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 14: deliver care. Because let me give you an example. If 1211 01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:44,880 Speaker 14: Kevin decides that Kevin wants to make kevin'sglp ones dot com, 1212 01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 14: there's no regulatory agency aside from like the FDA if 1213 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 14: you illegally market, But if you don't illegally market, there's 1214 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,000 Speaker 14: nobody that can hold you accountable for your practices. Who 1215 01:07:56,040 --> 01:08:00,880 Speaker 14: can I know, who can inspect you and say Kevin, yeah, yeah, No, 1216 01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,840 Speaker 14: you have a one second doctor patient encounter. The doctor 1217 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:07,400 Speaker 14: can get in trouble, but you can't. So my hope 1218 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,800 Speaker 14: is that what we see is that eventually someday all 1219 01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:15,560 Speaker 14: telemedicine companies have to be registered, inspected, audited, and regulated 1220 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 14: by the state level where they do business, or they 1221 01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,240 Speaker 14: can have their business license revoked. 1222 01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 2: That's what I hope. 1223 01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,519 Speaker 3: I love that idea. And on that note, doctor Laura Perty, 1224 01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,360 Speaker 3: we're out of time, but friends go to Swellcare Health 1225 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,479 Speaker 3: Swellcare dot health to find out more about everything that 1226 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,320 Speaker 3: she and her team do. And Laura, we'll see again soon. 1227 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:34,800 Speaker 2: Thank Kevin, thanks for having me. 1228 01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, Kevin mcckella coming right back from Times Square. Don't 1229 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 3: go on for. 1230 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 9: Here. 1231 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:59,719 Speaker 5: He is from New York. That's fact. Kevin is Kevin McCullough. 1232 01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,320 Speaker 3: All right, very glad to have you with us. It's 1233 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,720 Speaker 3: that Kevin Show, that kevinshow dot com. 1234 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:07,760 Speaker 5: And you know that. 1235 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,799 Speaker 3: During the week, I of course talk about the big 1236 01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,000 Speaker 3: headlines of the day. We talk about the news, we 1237 01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:14,800 Speaker 3: get into all the stuff that's going on in the world, 1238 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,479 Speaker 3: but I also talk about travel. I also talk about wellness. 1239 01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:20,479 Speaker 3: I want to give you tools in your life to 1240 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,559 Speaker 3: help keep you safe and to keep you healthy and 1241 01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:26,000 Speaker 3: to keep you active. And one of the things that 1242 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,639 Speaker 3: I came across a few years ago was this little 1243 01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,960 Speaker 3: company called Medjet. I had had a sister that had 1244 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:39,800 Speaker 3: worked in the travel emergency medical arena. She had been 1245 01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:43,000 Speaker 3: a nurse on a flight ambulance, and she had done 1246 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,080 Speaker 3: a lot of work to help people get back to 1247 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:49,000 Speaker 3: the US when they are injured or deathly sick in 1248 01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:52,640 Speaker 3: another country. And as I was thinking about taking my 1249 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,120 Speaker 3: family on a trip to Italy. I was like, well, 1250 01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,760 Speaker 3: what happens if we get over there, and even in 1251 01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:00,880 Speaker 3: a developed country, I don't have what I necessarily need 1252 01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,760 Speaker 3: or want. That's where I discovered Medjet, And from the 1253 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:07,800 Speaker 3: moment that I met John and sharing the team, I 1254 01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:09,760 Speaker 3: was just so impressed. And now I'm never going to 1255 01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:12,880 Speaker 3: fly my family anywhere without them. I'm not going to 1256 01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,120 Speaker 3: travel without them. And now I'm traveling so much more 1257 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,960 Speaker 3: with the new show and being on in seven hundred cities. 1258 01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:19,800 Speaker 3: We've got a lot of things that we've got to 1259 01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,320 Speaker 3: do and be in places, and I'm just I'm glad 1260 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,960 Speaker 3: to travel with the protection that Medjet offers us. We 1261 01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,920 Speaker 3: were just talking with John the Goebbels, who is the CEO, 1262 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,880 Speaker 3: about the Medjet Assist program. But John, you do offer 1263 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:35,680 Speaker 3: this other thing called Medjet Horizon. And as people have 1264 01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:38,400 Speaker 3: watched the news in recent weeks of what's going on 1265 01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,599 Speaker 3: in Mexico, it's not just the fact that the government 1266 01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,320 Speaker 3: killed a cartel member, but then there was violence that 1267 01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:48,479 Speaker 3: spread up from that. Americans were told to shelter in place. 1268 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:53,720 Speaker 3: There's another layer of help that Medjet offers, and it's 1269 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:57,080 Speaker 3: not always evacuation. But there is a kind of rationale 1270 01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,320 Speaker 3: to what you guys do, and what I love more 1271 01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,800 Speaker 3: than anything is that you're there twenty four hours a day. 1272 01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,640 Speaker 3: I call the number. I'm going to get Medjet to 1273 01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:06,599 Speaker 3: give me the right counsel on what I need to do, 1274 01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:09,200 Speaker 3: but walk us through how Medjet Horizon works. 1275 01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:12,439 Speaker 16: Sure, so meget Horizon is kind of an add on 1276 01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:16,280 Speaker 16: membership to our Medjet Assists, which is the air medical program. 1277 01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,680 Speaker 5: And what is basically what everybody. 1278 01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,080 Speaker 16: Wants to talk about is the travel security and crisis 1279 01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 16: response portion of that. The Medjet Horizon membership portion is 1280 01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:28,080 Speaker 16: run by focus Point International, who is a great strategic 1281 01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:31,400 Speaker 16: partner of ours. They have got the guys in the 1282 01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:33,920 Speaker 16: call centers that have done this and been around the 1283 01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:37,599 Speaker 16: world doing things that you and I don't do and 1284 01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,120 Speaker 16: making those decisions so they can help with that. It 1285 01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 16: does do some other things such some ground transport and 1286 01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:45,920 Speaker 16: antiller items, but really what we want to talk about today, 1287 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 16: I think is a travel security and crisis response that 1288 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,640 Speaker 16: provides you access to that team of professionals. 1289 01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,360 Speaker 5: As you said, twenty four hours a day, seven days 1290 01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:54,759 Speaker 5: a week. 1291 01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:59,720 Speaker 16: You can call them if you're feeling unsafe, at any point. 1292 01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:01,880 Speaker 5: And get some real time help. 1293 01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:07,600 Speaker 16: That may result in an evacuation, security evacuation, or it 1294 01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,600 Speaker 16: may not really depending on the scenario and the circumstances 1295 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:14,400 Speaker 16: of what is going on, but it is a valuable. 1296 01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 5: Tool to have in the world today. 1297 01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,160 Speaker 3: Do you know if you've had any members that have 1298 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,599 Speaker 3: been impacted by the Mexico situation and if you've heard 1299 01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:23,240 Speaker 3: from them. 1300 01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,719 Speaker 16: Yeah, So we've got at least probably seven or eight 1301 01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:29,920 Speaker 16: that have made contact directly with MENJE. 1302 01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:35,520 Speaker 5: Initially we have a group let's say group, but several more. 1303 01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,760 Speaker 16: And I won't have final numbers really until this is 1304 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:41,160 Speaker 16: over there contact and focus point directly, which is the 1305 01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:44,760 Speaker 16: proper plan to do. They all of our members have 1306 01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:48,559 Speaker 16: their crisis Response center number to that and right now 1307 01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:50,800 Speaker 16: at this point, which I think we've seen a lot, 1308 01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,719 Speaker 16: is the members are really kind of sheltering in place. 1309 01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:59,960 Speaker 16: It has become very difficult recently to be doing evacuations, 1310 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,920 Speaker 16: certainly in armored vehicles, in anything that looks other than 1311 01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:08,839 Speaker 16: a regular car or truck in Mexico because those are targeted. 1312 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 16: So there are roadblocks and any of these transport issues 1313 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:17,120 Speaker 16: that are going on, they're targets and that is a 1314 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,040 Speaker 16: very dangerous place to be, so right now, unless you're 1315 01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,639 Speaker 16: kind of going gray or in a way of looking 1316 01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:26,280 Speaker 16: like a national citizen in those type of vehicles that 1317 01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:27,440 Speaker 16: are run down. 1318 01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:29,920 Speaker 5: You're a target. And right now they're not pulling people 1319 01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:33,439 Speaker 5: from hotels and things of that nature. It could escalate 1320 01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:36,439 Speaker 5: to that and then another response from the megat Horizon product. 1321 01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:38,720 Speaker 5: But right now, the samest thing to do for our 1322 01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:41,040 Speaker 5: members is the shelter in place. They are able to 1323 01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:44,240 Speaker 5: contact and have daily updates from the crisis teams that 1324 01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,920 Speaker 5: are monitoring them. There may be some movements to different 1325 01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:48,439 Speaker 5: areas depending on where they're at. 1326 01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:52,160 Speaker 3: Were there any emergencies that you know of that you 1327 01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:55,800 Speaker 3: guys had medical or otherwise for the people attending there 1328 01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:59,599 Speaker 3: or was that a safe non event for you guys. 1329 01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,240 Speaker 16: Yeah, from a security standpoint though, everything was fine as 1330 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,240 Speaker 16: you've seen, and we were our members were very lucky 1331 01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:11,760 Speaker 16: at least medically, everything was fine. We actually had had 1332 01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:15,040 Speaker 16: no one from our standpoint contact us for any type 1333 01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,839 Speaker 16: of medical transport. So yeah, it was a great Olympics 1334 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,760 Speaker 16: for the US and for that as well. Yeah, some 1335 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:22,320 Speaker 16: gold medal winning there. 1336 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:27,160 Speaker 3: If people want to add on the Medjet horizon, how 1337 01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,840 Speaker 3: Does that change the membership equation for them? 1338 01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:33,519 Speaker 5: Sure, I mean it's really just the pricing as you said. 1339 01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,480 Speaker 16: I mean, if we look at an individual Medjet Horizon 1340 01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,000 Speaker 16: membership which has the medical transport as well, it's an 1341 01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,880 Speaker 16: add on to that. It's only four seventy five for 1342 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,800 Speaker 16: an individual, six fourteen for a family, and that is 1343 01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:49,000 Speaker 16: compared to just the medical transport portion which is three 1344 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:52,120 Speaker 16: fifteen and four to twenty five. So it's not a 1345 01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,320 Speaker 16: huge add on in cost for a nice dinner out 1346 01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,400 Speaker 16: in Italy. Like you said, you can you can have 1347 01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:01,000 Speaker 16: that protection and not have to worry about and travel 1348 01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:03,920 Speaker 16: in the comfort and security of having MEDGE.

Anyway, Chick fil A a couple 1421 01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:59,439 Speaker 3: of tidbits about them in the news this week. They 1422 01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 3: had said that for a number of no weeks or months. 1423 01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,120 Speaker 3: The Atlanta based fast food chain announced I guess in 1424 01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:14,680 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, so it's been a few years that it 1425 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:18,400 Speaker 3: would source only cage free eggs within the decade as 1426 01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,479 Speaker 3: part of a broader push toward transparent and responsible sourcing. 1427 01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:27,280 Speaker 3: Twenty sixteen, Chick fil A communicated we would source only 1428 01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:33,400 Speaker 3: one hundred percent cage free eggs by twenty twenty six Yesterday, 1429 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:39,559 Speaker 3: they said currently, our ability to meet this commitment in 1430 01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:43,040 Speaker 3: the stated timeframe is uncertain due to numerous industry dynamics 1431 01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:46,800 Speaker 3: and the significant impact that bird flu has had over 1432 01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:50,680 Speaker 3: the past several months and continues to have on the industry. 1433 01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,960 Speaker 3: The company did not disclose what percentage of its eggs 1434 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,640 Speaker 3: are currently cage free, but it did say its suppliers 1435 01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:59,799 Speaker 3: must meet its strict quality standards and that it complies 1436 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:07,160 Speaker 3: with state laws regarding cage free sourcing. Nine states, including California, Massachusetts, Colorado, 1437 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,439 Speaker 3: currently require eggs sold within their borders to come from 1438 01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:15,439 Speaker 3: cage free hens. You know, I've I've made a lot 1439 01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:17,280 Speaker 3: of eggs in my life. I get up and I 1440 01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:19,920 Speaker 3: make eggs to order for my family every Saturday. That's 1441 01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,280 Speaker 3: Dad's time in the kitchen, And I'm pretty good at eggs. 1442 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:25,400 Speaker 3: Like I can do the omelet, I can do the 1443 01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:30,040 Speaker 3: I can do the poached, I can do the overre easy, 1444 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:34,280 Speaker 3: I can do the soft scramble. Like everything that requires 1445 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 3: a little bit of a touch to it, I've got it. 1446 01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:39,160 Speaker 3: Do you show up at my house nine thirty am 1447 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,719 Speaker 3: on Saturday morning, you'll you can order some for yourself. 1448 01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,360 Speaker 3: But I've never understood the big deal about the cage 1449 01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:50,800 Speaker 3: free eggs. Like, Okay, a chicken just lays the eggs 1450 01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:55,400 Speaker 3: randomly in the open, and that makes it better. Like 1451 01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:59,799 Speaker 3: I would think that chickens laying their eggs in their nests, 1452 01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,720 Speaker 3: in their little in their little you know, barns or 1453 01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:05,280 Speaker 3: whatever that they would they would feel pretty good about that. 1454 01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:09,720 Speaker 3: And does it change the content of the egg. That's 1455 01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:11,799 Speaker 3: the other thing I've never in egg Land's best eggs. 1456 01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:15,200 Speaker 3: They're more nutritious and delicious. How what what do you 1457 01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:21,000 Speaker 3: feed in the chicken? Because it's still natural process. All right, 1458 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:24,280 Speaker 3: that's it for today. Kevin mccallaugh, thanking you for being here. 1459 01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:25,360 Speaker 3: We'll see you next time.
