Friend. Eight eight eight six seven two three 28 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: four is my phone number. Eight eight eight six seven 29 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: two three four. We've got a very busy news afternoon 30 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: going on. I don't know if anybody has realized it, 31 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: but it's very very ironic to hear what is coming 32 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: out of Iran and then to turn around and see 33 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: how they're behaving. Because, according to Israeli sources, the leadership 34 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: in Iran is very, very, very deathly afraid that if 35 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: Israel and the United States do some sort of hit 36 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: on the leadership, that it's going to break their hold 37 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: on the Iranian people. It's odd that they would feel 38 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: that way. I guess since they abuse them, mistreat them, 39 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: starve them. You know, also that they can build their 40 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons and have their you know, dreams of end 41 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: Day's glory whatever. But yeah, that's that's probably true. They 42 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: probably need to be afraid that they're about to lose 43 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: power in Iran, but they shouldn't necessarily afraid of the 44 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: US or Israel. They've had the ability to control their 45 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: fate for years, and they've chosen cruelty, and they've chosen narcissism, 46 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: and they've chosen abuse of their own people. They chose 47 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: to slaughter thirty five thousand of them last weekend. So 48 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: it shouldn't come as any big surprise that if the 49 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: Iranian people go, I don't know that I really enjoy 50 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: this anymore, that they you know, they might be long 51 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: in the next soon, you know, with a rope attached 52 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: something like that. But here's the thing they're saying that 53 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: they're behind the scenes, they're deathly afraid. I don't know 54 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: if the US does this where I'm looking at the 55 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: breaking news wire and just today, just today in the 56 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: Strait of Hormuz, which is the body of water that 57 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: Iran likes to monkey around in and create trouble for 58 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: cargo ships and you know, the oil ships and other 59 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: things that come through from the Middle East to the West. 60 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: It's the one body of water that prevents having to 61 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: go all the way around the southern tip of Africa 62 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: and then coming back up. So the straight of four 63 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: moves is kind of kind of strategic. But they have 64 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: these what they call fast boats, the Iranians do, and 65 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: they have attempted to stop US oil tankers in the 66 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: straight of war moves today. And these Iranian gunboats are 67 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: run by the IRGC, the Iranian Republican Guard. And it's 68 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: one of those situations where you go when you say 69 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: you're worried about the US interfering, and yet you're harassing 70 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: US boats in international waters. Why are you doing that? 71 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: If you're so concerned that the US is going to 72 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: to dethrone you, I would think that you wouldn't want 73 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: to be harassing our boats right now. I would think, 74 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: I know, it's just me being silly. I would think 75 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: that if I'm a dictator and I'm really afraid of 76 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: losing my power, the last thing I would be doing 77 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: is poking the bear right in the eye, Like probably 78 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: not a good thing to do. And that's just one 79 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: of the things that just posted a little while ago. 80 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: Earlier today, the US military had to shoot down an 81 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: Iranian drone because it was heading straight for the USS 82 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln, which is our big carrier that's in the area. 83 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: They shot down an unman drone after it aggressively approached 84 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: the US naval aircraft with unclear intent. The USS Abraham 85 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: Lincoln was transitting the Arabian Sea, about five hundred miles 86 00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: from Iran's south coast when an Iranian shah Head one 87 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: thirty nine drone unnecessarily maneuvered toward the ship the Iranian. 88 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: The Iranian drone continue to fly toward the ship despite 89 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: the escalatory measures taken by US forces, and an F 90 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: thirty five C fighter jet from the Abraham Lincoln shot 91 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: that sucker down and self defense to protect the aircraft, 92 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: carrier and the personnel on board. It seems to me 93 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: that these types of actions are a little counterintuitive to 94 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: a state that's trying to not poke the bear. And 95 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: if you keep flying your drones at US, and you 96 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: keep running your fast boats at US, how are we 97 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: supposed to interpret that? Maybe I'm maybe I'm looking at 98 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: this completely wrong eight eight eight six nine two seven 99 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: two three four. Would love to know your thoughts on it. 100 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: But I read this one story where they're saying, you 101 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: know that Iran's like very concerned, and they don't. They 102 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: they're very worried. The Jerusalem Post reporting Iran's leadership is 103 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 1: increasingly worried that a US strike could break its grip 104 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: on power by driving an already enraged public back onto 105 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: the streets following the bloody crackdown of anti government protests, 106 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: according to six current and former officials, So it's not 107 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: just one that they've got on the record, They've got 108 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: six of these guys on the record saying that if 109 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: you're really worried about the US flying your drones at 110 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: US and running your fast boats at us, and really 111 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: the fast boats are the bigger problem. Many of you 112 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: that have listened to the show for a while know this. 113 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: I have a relative who is forward active duty Navy. 114 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: He's been in the region multiple times. He has seen 115 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: things that he won't be able to tell me about 116 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: for years. He knows things that he can't talk about 117 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: right now. But what he has told me about the 118 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: Iranian fast boats. See, if they load those things up 119 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: with enough explosives, they could try to pull off another 120 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: USS coal attack against one of our carriers in the region. 121 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: And so you have to have you have to have 122 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: planes that can get off the carrier quick to address 123 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: these threats so that the carrier can make its way 124 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: through the strait. But you've got to be able to 125 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: get the thing through the strait, and you've got to 126 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: have the planes. It's a very sophisticated way that they 127 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: have to protect the US assets in the region, and 128 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: it's very hard. It's because these boats are small, fast, 129 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: they don't show up right away. It takes the second 130 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: to see them, and in the second that it takes 131 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: to see them, they can cross a massive amount of distance. 132 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if they were going to hit one 133 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: of our boats in the region, a fast boat is 134 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: probably how they were going to try to take it down. 135 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: So when they come running at our people, yeah, we 136 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: took care of it. We disposed of it, even though 137 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: it was harassing a US tanker and not a military vote. 138 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: Leave the US alone, Iran. If you don't want us 139 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: in your business, then leave us alone. But this kind 140 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: of stuff, coupled with you slaughtering thirty five thousand of 141 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: your own people, coupled with you still defying the world 142 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: saying you're going to develop a nuclear weapon, combined with 143 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: being the world's number one state sponsoring terror globally, there's 144 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons why we don't necessarily believe you 145 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: and your actions today certainly don't vouch for it. Okay, 146 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: before we go any further with news, we're gonna ask 147 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: how do we live? Jamal Bernard joins me next day 148 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: right here. 149 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: Here he is from New York. That Kevin Kevin McCullough. 150 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: All right, welcome Kevin McCullough. That Kevin Show, That kevinshow 151 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: dot com for everything related to the show. If you 152 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: want to find me on social media, we've got them 153 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: all listed there. You can subscribe to the newsletters. We've 154 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: got the TV show, We've got the podcast. It's all 155 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: in one spot, super easy to find. I hope that 156 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: you'll visit it and stay with us throughout the week, 157 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: even when we're not on the air. For the remaining 158 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: twenty two hours each day, we are at this point 159 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: in the show every day asking the big question, how 160 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: do we live? How do we live in a culture 161 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: where the culture around us despises the God of the Bible. 162 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: They don't much care for the Bible. They kind of 163 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: look at us if we say we read our Bible 164 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: or worship that God as kind of foreign creatures. And 165 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: that's being nice. Sometimes they're just flat out hateful towards 166 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: those that follow God. But given that that's the context 167 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: that we live in and we're all called to live 168 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: and demonstrate the light of Jesus to the world around us. 169 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: How do we do that in that context? That's what 170 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: we discuss here. And this week I'm very excited to 171 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: have Jamal Bernard joining us. He is the son and 172 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: now the senior pastor of his father, doctor A.

And Bernard yesterday we got the 177 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: week kicked off picking up in the Book of Daniel, 178 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: which I think is a phenomenal book for the purposes 179 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: of our discussion here, because when you're talking about young 180 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: people living in a culture that dislikes everything about their 181 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: God and their faith, not only Daniel, but Shadrak, Meshach 182 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: and Abednego all experienced that as well. Give us the 183 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: context of what they were walking into when they were 184 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: taken into captivity. 185 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 4: Once again, thank you, I'm so excited as a day too. 186 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 4: And Kevin, a blessing to the body of believers in 187 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 4: the community of Christians. 188 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: So thank you, and thank you. 189 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you. But so let's go back, right. 190 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: So Shadak and. 191 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 4: Shadign Benico parent captivity significant as the ruler at the time, 192 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 4: and he didn't just represent uh being the ruler, but 193 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 4: he represented absolute authority uh, politically UH, absolutetharity, military uh, 194 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 4: and also absolute authority over religious So it was his 195 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 4: word over everything, and it was it was a kind 196 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 4: of superseding anything that the Jews have represented, especially with 197 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 4: the aahweh the one true guy. 198 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: Right. 199 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 4: And so we have that context that young individuals they 200 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 4: away from their ability to worship as a group of individuals, 201 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 4: and now here there is the statue is being presented 202 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 4: as the absolute ruling uh, and it talks about it 203 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 4: was about a prayer, unity and loyalty. So it was 204 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 4: if they bowed, it just was them bowing to everything 205 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 4: that King never connected stood for. It was just about worship. 206 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 4: And so bowering was a political act that was a 207 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 4: part of the conversation as well as if you did it, 208 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 4: it was an active treason for them. So this was 209 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 4: a big statement that was happening. And when I looked 210 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 4: at this, it wasn't just a natural statement, but it 211 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 4: was also a spiritual statement, right, because we believe that 212 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 4: everything is both spiritual and natural. And so this is 213 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 4: the tension that they were living in at the time 214 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 4: in bad Lune. 215 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: We are entering a time in a day in which 216 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: that type of persecution may become actually very similar. 217 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, And even if you don't have the actual 218 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 4: saying bowling to something symbolically, you can see that by 219 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 4: them trying to quiet us and then we stay quiet, 220 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 4: it is an essence taking a knee, right, it is 221 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 4: an essence are waving a white flag? And this was 222 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 4: shack and Shaka Betego's test and saying, okay, are you 223 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 4: going to wave the white flag? And and and you know, 224 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 4: to the political pressure of staying silent or performing to 225 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 4: something that's outside of what we stand for and believe 226 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 4: that's Christians. 227 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and that's where I think some of this 228 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: gets so practical for us from the Book of Daniel 229 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: and particularly this story when when they and so this 230 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: question is important. So when they chose to do the 231 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: right thing, did they know that it would there would 232 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: be a price to pay for doing it? Oh? 233 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, because once again it king a decree. So 234 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 4: the never connects a is standing there and the problem 235 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 4: is if you look at the story that the and 236 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 4: there's always individuals behind the scenes that starts causing the trouble. Right, 237 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 4: so you you look at how we're living now, and 238 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 4: there are individuals behind the scenes that are trying to 239 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 4: push in a particular agenda. And the king Devilkaneta says, oh, 240 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 4: that's a great idea. Right, So if you look at 241 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 4: the origin of the idea, it didn't really land with them. 242 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 4: I mean they start with him. He just landed with him, 243 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 4: and he made a decree. Right. So if this is 244 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 4: a decreed, I means it's signed. There's no way of 245 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 4: changing it is. 246 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 5: This is it is in law. 247 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 4: There's it's bigger than even look at it's binding, yes, binding, 248 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 4: And so if they did it, it's death, right if 249 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 4: you didn't obey the decreed is death. And so that's 250 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 4: what they were presented with. Hey say, hey, look, this 251 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 4: is going to happen if you don't bow to the item, 252 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 4: if you don't take a knee, if you don't fall 253 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 4: to uh political conformity, if you don't you been in 254 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 4: needs to what's happening uh in in the world right 255 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 4: right then and there, that's going to be tension there's gonna. 256 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: Be problems well, and as you pointed out, it goes 257 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: far beyond just human governance. It went to the core 258 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: of who they were. And this is one of the 259 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: things I when I when I when I read Daniel, 260 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: and when I think about these stories from Daniel, that 261 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, there was there was no support group for them, 262 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: There was no community group for them to gather around. 263 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: They they they would never as far as we know 264 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: from history, never get to go back to the temple 265 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: and worship with the people that they worshiped with when 266 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: before they had been taken into captivity. So even the 267 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: even the communication and community with God came at a 268 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: very different price and a very different level and a 269 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: very different experience from what they were comfortable with. 270 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and it's a good point. And so think 271 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 4: about it. Your you're anxiecized, Your your you're dissocated. You 272 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 4: are in an environment that does not even promote system 273 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 4: of belief that you were raised up there right and 274 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 4: then your your only you know to see a connection 275 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 4: to this God Yahweh, the One True God is separate 276 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 4: in that sense because I can no longer go to 277 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 4: the temple where that's the place where we met and 278 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 4: came into contact with God. 279 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: Well. And I also find it interesting that these characters, 280 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: Daniel and the three friends, that they didn't do what 281 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: I think a lot of us would be tempted to do, 282 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: and that is, they didn't just like recoil and say, Okay, 283 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna involve myself. In fact, Daniel quotes 284 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: the prophet Jeremiah and saying we must work for the 285 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: welfare of the city that we're in. Yes, so they 286 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: they didn't. They so they didn't avoid the mission, which 287 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: I guess when we're asking every day how do we live, 288 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: the one answer could be, well, just you know, recoil 289 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: into your country club around yourself with your Christian books 290 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: and your Christian music and your Christian coffee, and eat 291 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: your Christian eggs and all that stuff, and just never 292 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: have to come into contact with me. They did the opposite. 293 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: They actually went through the full educational system and still 294 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: came out worshiping the God of the Bible. 295 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, and and and that's a key element, 296 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 4: right because if you look at you know, what was 297 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 4: happening with our young individuals. They get they go through 298 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 4: the religious on the education system, and it shifts are changes. 299 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 4: What happened to the young the young youth that was 300 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 4: on fire for Christ, right, that was that was ready 301 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 4: to give it all? And here it is now you 302 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 4: entern into this environment that's supposed the antagonistic, and you 303 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 4: fold and you came because you were challenged with certain 304 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 4: words or certain phrases that you necessarily they have to 305 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 4: answer this book. And that's why I love this story 306 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 4: because mes Econbatic made an amijor statement. We got to 307 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 4: get to that statement that really was a pivotal moment 308 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 4: for me and my walk with God. 309 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: All Right, it's a it's a it's a wonderful study. 310 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: And friends, we're going to pick up up on three 311 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: more very crucial points in this development as we go 312 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: through the rest of the week. So I want you 313 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: to be here, Jamal, before we before we go off 314 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: the air with you today.

If 317 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: they're in the area. Maybe if they're even coming to 318 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: New York for a trip to see the greatest city 319 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 1: on the planet.

I think the thin 326 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 4: thing is if you go come and see see, you'll 327 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 4: see the fusion of the. 328 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 5: All with God and the fun with God.

And so if 336 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 4: you come, you see a bunch of inter business that 337 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 4: excited or fire for God, but welcoming wants you to 338 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 4: come and enjoy and experience.

Anybody that has paid attention to any of 361 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: the news over the last couple of weeks, you know 362 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: that there is this there is this anxiety and I 363 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: don't know how it's to describe it other than that 364 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: there is an anxiety in the country about Ice, about 365 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: what they're doing. You know, the are they are they 366 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: being are they using methods that are too stringent, too strong? 367 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: What is the what is the purpose of why they're 368 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: even doing what they're doing, et cetera. And then mixed 369 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: in with just the anxiety of what's been happening, you've 370 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: got all these other kind of interesting elements that are happening. 371 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: You've got the shootings, You've got the Grammys, You've got 372 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: celebrities trying to make statements. You've got all kinds of 373 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: other thing kind of pinning the current to the wall 374 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: of you know, this this topic that's not going away. 375 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: And it was really ironic this last couple of days 376 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: because and I just I just I found this this 377 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: morning and I had to put it up on social media. 378 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: I didn't know if it had gotten any reaction. I 379 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: just opened it as I'm talking to you, and there's 380 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: been thirty five hundred people that have that have weighed 381 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: in on this. But at the Grammys on Sunday, Billie Eilish, 382 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: who pray for She's just a troubled soul. She just 383 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: she writes kind of fun little bops, but much of 384 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: them very confused in terms of their messaging. And she herself, 385 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: I think has had a lot of pain in her life, 386 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: and so she's just a kind of a walking example 387 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: of someone who's done a lot of hurting. But when 388 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: she got up after bad money had set his part, 389 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: after they already showed, they zoomed in and they showed 390 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: the ice out buttons on people like Justin and Hailey 391 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: Bieber and Lady Gaga and some of the others that 392 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: were wearing them. Billy Eilish got up for her award 393 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: accepted and she said, nobody is illegal on stolen Land, 394 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: which is kind of now. It's kind of now the 395 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: the pad response for the non thinking activists that doesn't 396 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: know what else to say, but they just feel like 397 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: they need to be involved somehow, which that and even 398 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: of itself is a problem. Right, So it's not that 399 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: you've researched, that you've looked at this, that you feel 400 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: very compelled to it. I don't think Justin Haley Bieber 401 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: have done an in depth you know, history of immigration 402 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: and the trends and everything else. I think they're people 403 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: whoever they have around them said here, wear these buttons. Oh, okay, cool, 404 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: we'll be cool ice out. Oh that's that's cool. Like 405 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: I think that for the celebrities. I think that's about 406 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: as deep as it gets, because you can't you can't 407 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: tell me that they are conversant with the issues of 408 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: what's actually being discussed here. But Billie Eilish gets up 409 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: and says, nobody is illegal on stolen land. And then 410 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: she says blank ice, meaning to copulate with ice, to 411 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: have relations with ice in an un meritorious, Unchristian, unbiblical way. 412 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to make the show family friendly. So 413 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: it's interesting that she says. And then all these people 414 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: were in the Ice Out buttons and stuff and so forth. 415 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: So I go and I see this morning, there's this 416 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: news story, and it turns out that Billie Eilish, Justin 417 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: and Haley Bieber and Lady Gaga, all of whom were 418 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: like the faces for the Ice Out cause at the 419 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: Grammys on Sunday night. They all live. They all have 420 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: these multimillion dollar mansions, twenty and thirty dollars million dollar 421 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: mansions on sacred Shoemash and Tongo tribe lands. So the 422 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: very places where they have built their homes, where they 423 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: have their exceedingly luxurious insulated from all of the universe. 424 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: If they want to be homes are actually on sacred 425 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: historic ancient Tumash and Tongo tribes. They used to have 426 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: like burial grounds in where the places where these homes 427 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: are built. And I just think it's I just think 428 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: it's ironic that Billie Eidis gets up and says nobody 429 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: is illegal on stolen land when you're just six million 430 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: dollar house is literally on some of the people you're 431 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: accusing of having their land stolen by the by the 432 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: nation that you're accusing it of. And this is all 433 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: in an attempt, right, It's all. This is all because 434 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: this really isn't the issue. Nobody's seriously arguing whether ancient 435 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: tribes should get their land back, just like you know, 436 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: no one's going to go back to the pre World 437 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: War One boundaries of where Germany was and give the 438 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: su Dtan land back to Germany. That this is not 439 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: going to happen. Wars happen, people conquer and they take 440 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: over places. This is all to shield people from the 441 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: real issue, which I'm going to bring up in the 442 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: next segment, and I want to take your phone calls 443 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: on it, because I am very confused about how certain 444 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: governors in the country are being able to say what 445 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: they're saying with a straight face, because I would think 446 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: that we are more thoughtful people than to accept what 447 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: they're saying to our faces and letting them just get 448 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: away with it. But I've got a very specific example 449 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: I want to start with when we come back eight 450 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: eight eight six nine two seven two three four, And 451 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: then I want to take your phone calls the rest 452 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: of the way. Eight eight eight six ninety two seven 453 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: two three four. Kevin McCollough coming back, not on stolen land, 454 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: mind you. Right after this. 455 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 3: Here he is from New York that I'm Kevin, Kevin McCullough. 456 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: Thank you, Lonnie Perkins, Kevin mccallough. Glad to have you 457 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: with us. Eight eight eight six nine two seven two 458 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: three four. And thank you K T I e AM 459 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: five ninety in San Fernando, Riverside, San Diego, that whole 460 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: area of southern California. Big blowtorch signal there, and we 461 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: appreciate the fact that you have us on every single day, 462 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: Monday through Friday. Thank you, thank you, thank you, K 463 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: T I e AM five ninety. The answer is the 464 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: call letters there, all right, So we're talking about yes, 465 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm still talking about it because there's been so much 466 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: subterfuge on this, and I don't I think it's working, 467 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: but I can't let it even try to work. If 468 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: I have to be a one man force holding, you know, 469 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: holding the wall up myself on this, I'm going to 470 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: because I am not of the opinion that dogging law 471 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: enforcement and our country is going to lead to anything 472 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: good for us. I just don't think that works out well. Now, 473 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: if law enforcement was rampantly doing illegal things and hurting 474 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: the people that it was supposed to be protecting and 475 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: this sort of thing, then I could say, well, maybe 476 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: you're opening yourself up to it, but that's not happening. 477 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: Even with the Renee Good and the alex Pretty deaths. 478 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: That's two out of more than one hundred thousand that 479 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: have gone down in the last month in terms of arrests, 480 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: and when you're talking about statistics, it's a very very 481 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: and there's lots of reasons why I think those two 482 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: happened where they happened, And I'm going to touch on 483 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: that right now because in New York, the governor here 484 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: said on Morning Joe on that MS now before then 485 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: later whatever whatever whatever that network is, she wants she says. 486 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: She wants to pass the law that prohibits the counties 487 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: in New York that wish to cooperate with ICE. Here's 488 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: what she said. Now listen to the words, the exact 489 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: words that she uses. You're not using our local police. 490 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: I need them to protect the communities and not have 491 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: this distrust. What distrust is that we'll come back to that, 492 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: and this is what we're hearing that people are not 493 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: distinguishing between local police, and so we try so hard 494 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: to have a positive relationship with our communities of trust. 495 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: You don't. You don't have good trust in your communities. 496 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: And it's just that's not normally how it works. Normally, 497 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: the police are revered in most neighborhoods. They're thought of 498 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: as being heroes, she says. And I want my police, 499 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: which the local police aren't her police. The state police 500 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: are her police. The local police belong to the municipalities. 501 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: But that's a different issue, she said. I want my 502 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: police going after the murders, the rapists, the gun traffickers, 503 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: being available for emergencies, and if they're off, they're being 504 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: deputized by ICE under these agreements that just a few 505 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: of our counties are doing. They're being distracted, and I 506 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: don't want that, and I'm not going to be supporting that, 507 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: and I'm going to change the law in the state 508 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: of New York for that. Okay, this is a governor 509 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: who just said she wants the law enforcement to go 510 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: after the murderers, the rapists, the gun traffickers, Notice she 511 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: didn't say human traffickers, and being available for emergencies. That's 512 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: what she wants. Quote her police, which aren't her police, 513 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: they're the police that are in the local communities. But 514 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: she wants her police to be available to do those things. 515 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: Governor Hockle, what do you think ICE is going after? 516 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: Who do you think that they're going trying to pick up? 517 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: Who they're trying to remove from your streets so that 518 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: they can no longer commit the crimes that they committed 519 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: whereby they became the targets of ICE to begin with. 520 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: I just think everything she says here is really really telling. 521 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: She doesn't want the local police used because she wants 522 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: to protect the communities and not have distrust. And she says, 523 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: and there's a distrust because people can't distinguish between ICE 524 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: and the local police. I would argue, and I want 525 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: you to. I want you to call if you especially 526 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: if you disagree with me, because I want to know 527 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: why I'm wrong on this if I am eight eight 528 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: eight six nine two seven two three four. But here's 529 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: what I want to know. Should there be a huge 530 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: difference between the local police and ICE? Should it bother 531 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: her that people may get the different law enforcement agencies confused? 532 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: Or should there be a general acceptance not for looking 533 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: on to wrongdoing and pacifying the wrongdoing, but generally speaking, 534 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: should there be a general reaction, a general response to 535 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: law enforcement period that is one of trust and respect, 536 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,719 Speaker 1: And I would argue obedience in all things that are 537 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: lawful eight eight eight six nine two seven two three four. 538 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: She doesn't want ICE to come in because she says 539 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: it's going to confuse people, and then people won't know 540 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,239 Speaker 1: if it's their local police officer telling them, or if 541 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: it's an ICE officer telling them whatever they're telling them. 542 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: Does that even matter? Eight eight eight six nine two 543 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 1: seven two three four. Should it matter if we are someone, 544 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 1: if we are a country of laws, and we believe 545 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: that keeping those laws and obeying those laws are rather 546 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: vital and important, Does it really matter to me if 547 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: it's a US marshal that tells me something, or a 548 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: county sheriff that tells me to do it, or a 549 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: local police officer or an ICE member or member of 550 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: the Secret Service, or even if I'm not even even 551 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: if I'm not in the town where I live and 552 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 1: I and there's not there's a police officer and he's 553 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: in uniform, and he's not from my town, but he 554 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 1: but he gives me a piece of advice, or he says, hey, 555 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: you know this would be good for you to do. 556 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 1: Should I go take off Jack, You're from the next 557 00:34:55,480 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: town over. Forget that. No, I'm not listening to you. 558 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: This is very telling, I think on Hockel's part, because 559 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: I think this is how Mike Walls thinks. I think 560 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: this is how Gavin Newsom thinks. I think this is 561 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 1: how a lot of people think. Thinking that they're making 562 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 1: some great point about differentiating law enforcement. If you were 563 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: telling your kids before they go out the door this morning, 564 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: would you tell them to ignore everybody except just the 565 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: police that are from their their neighborhood eight eight eight 566 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: six nine two seven two three four eight eight eight 567 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: six nine two seven two three four.

I think I 578 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: think that I am onto something, and I do want 579 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: to know if you believe that there is something to 580 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: this because here, here's what when a governor says, I 581 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: don't want ice to come in because it's going to 582 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: confuse my people. They're not going to know which law 583 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: enforcement is which. First of all, do any of us 584 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: is that the way we raise our kids? Well, you 585 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: can acknowledge this authority, but you not allowed to acknowledge 586 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: that authority. How would that work out for you if 587 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: you did that in the house? Okay, dads, I try 588 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: this one on tonight. Go home and say, hey, guys, 589 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: you only have to obey me. Nothing that mom says goes. 590 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: I can hear the plates whizzing past your ears now 591 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: like that's not that's that's no, that's that's a non 592 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 1: starter right away, and it would be irresponsible when the 593 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: authority if we think about authority in terms of like 594 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: the holistic sense, why God allows authority to exist, what 595 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: he wants us to you know, understand about authority and 596 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: how it's used and why he puts it over us. 597 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: But it's it's for our benefit, right Like authority when 598 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: it's proper installed, when it's properly functioning, it protects those 599 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: who sit in its in its presence, think of it 600 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: as this lion cubs playing on the serengetti, you know, 601 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: just running around. Hyenas see them. They they may be 602 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 1: interested in trying to have lunch. But if there's Papa 603 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 1: Lion sitting there and the kids are rolling around playing 604 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,240 Speaker 1: right next to him, there's no way that the hyenas 605 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: are going to go anywhere near them. Why because the 606 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: presence of accountability, the presence of authority, the presence of 607 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: not being allowed to get away with what you shouldn't 608 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: be allowed to get away with. And I don't know 609 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: why it's right now, a bunch of Democrat governors that 610 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: seem to have I'm not a I'm not a partisan. 611 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to engage only 612 00:38:55,280 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: partisan conversations. But it does seem to be Democrat governors 613 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 1: that are that are the ones that are basically telling 614 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: their populations. Here's an authority, a lawfully established, virtuous authority 615 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: that the nation established. Democrats voted for it, Republicans voted 616 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 1: for it when they when they founded ICE, it was 617 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 1: a bipartisan thing. That this authority is one that you 618 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: do not have to pay attention to. And when you're 619 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 1: a governor, you have a lot of power at your disposal, 620 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: and your word means a lot more than like the 621 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: janitor at the school's word means like you're both important people. 622 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: God loves you both equally. One of you has much 623 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: bigger impact on what goes on, which means you should 624 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: be held to a higher standard actually if you think 625 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: about it. So my question is, and it's it's really simple, 626 00:39:55,560 --> 00:40:00,359 Speaker 1: why would a governor want to willfully t tell their 627 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: people you don't have to obey that authority, but this 628 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: authority you do. Is that what Hochel's doing. It sounds 629 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: to me like that's what she's doing. Eight eight, eight 630 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: six nine two seven two three four, eight eight eight 631 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: six ninety two seven two three four.

If you disagree with me, you get 637 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: to go to the front of the line. Eight eight 638 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 1: eight six ninety two seven two three four.

And when you have 670 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: elected leaders, we're going to talk about Mayor Mumdanni the 671 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: the Witdew Communist in the next I did not know 672 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: this until this morning, but thirteen people have died of 673 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 1: freezing to death on his watch in New York City. 674 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: Then since he became mayor first of the year, thirteen 675 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 1: people more people have died from his unwillingness to disperse 676 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,919 Speaker 1: the homeless encampments because that's where they that's where they died, 677 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 1: and he refused to disperse them get them into safer places. 678 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: More people have died because of his policy on that 679 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:40,800 Speaker 1: than have been shot or killed or you know whatever. 680 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:48,359 Speaker 1: By ICE nationwide, thirteen people. We're on February third, he's 681 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 1: been in office a month and three days. Sixteen people 682 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 1: total have died due to the cold and related but 683 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: thirteen of them fro solid. It's pretty scary. But this 684 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: is why what Huckel's doing is even stranger. And it's 685 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: not just Hocal. I don't want it to be focused 686 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 1: on just New York. You've got Walts in Minnesota. You've 687 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: got Gavin Newsom in California. You've got you know, the 688 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 1: Upper Northwest with their governors and mayors. 689 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 7: And. 690 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: They think, they say in any way that they're doing 691 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:38,919 Speaker 1: the right thing by opposing immigration and customs enforcement as 692 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 1: they come in to do what to enforce the law 693 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:49,720 Speaker 1: that has been the law for a really long time. ICE. 694 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 1: Just so you're aware, because the messaging out in the 695 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 1: mainstream it gets very convoluted. ICE is not doing anything 696 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: that they have not done for literally years. There's a 697 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 1: bigger need for them to do it more right now 698 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 1: because of the situation that the last four years left 699 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 1: us with. If you've had twenty million people come over 700 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: the border illegally, you've now got a lot more people 701 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 1: that you have to go find and send home than 702 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: in an administration where you only have a few hundred 703 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,800 Speaker 1: or a few thousand that have come across the border. 704 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: And I don't know how many months it's been in 705 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,359 Speaker 1: a row now, but the Trump administration has not had 706 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: unlawful border penetration on our southern border, I think going 707 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,959 Speaker 1: back since June of last year, and I mean zero, 708 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 1: like none, and even before that, between January and June 709 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 1: of last year, it was significantly down because he just 710 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: did the normal stuff and he took the border patrol 711 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 1: and he put him back on the job that the 712 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: border patrol should be doing. The border patrol shouldn't be 713 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:02,719 Speaker 1: processing people for entry, they should be keeping the border patrolled. 714 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 1: And once you stopped allowing entry for many any reason, 715 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 1: what whatever's given I just want to come, you don't 716 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,400 Speaker 1: have as many to worry about. So now the crux 717 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,840 Speaker 1: of the issue has been how do we get particularly 718 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 1: the criminal aliens that are here, the ones that are 719 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:30,839 Speaker 1: committing the most heinous crimes, the murderers, the rapists, the assaulters. 720 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 1: How do we get these people out? And in nearly 721 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:41,879 Speaker 1: every state, in most places across the US, you have 722 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: the local law enforcement working with the federal law enforcement, 723 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,319 Speaker 1: and everything's going smooth, and they're getting the people they 724 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,360 Speaker 1: need to get. They're arresting them, they're moving them to 725 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 1: the ICE detention areas, they're getting their hearings, and if 726 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,879 Speaker 1: they don't if they don't win that, then they're sent 727 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 1: home and they go home. It's not a confusing process, 728 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,760 Speaker 1: and ICE isn't asking to do things that they haven't 729 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 1: done before. So understanding that that's the case, why are 730 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 1: Governors Hochel and Waltz and Newsome saying we don't want 731 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 1: ICE in our state because it will confuse our people 732 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 1: as to who's really the police. Now. I don't think 733 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 1: my position on this is particularly controversial, but maybe it is. 734 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 1: I don't think the average citizen needs to understand the 735 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:42,360 Speaker 1: difference between the two. The average American citizen is not 736 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,280 Speaker 1: going to be hassled by ICE. The average American citizen 737 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 1: probably won't even be in the path of any of 738 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 1: the ICE activity, because most of the ICE activity is 739 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: happening in a handful of neighborhoods and a handful of 740 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: cities where the most dangerous and the most heinous have 741 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 1: gone to sanctuary areas where they think they're going to 742 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 1: be they're going to be undiscovered. So I don't understand 743 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: the proactive assertion by these governors to say that we 744 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: can't have them in our state because our people might 745 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:25,239 Speaker 1: get confused. There might be an issue of understanding who 746 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,920 Speaker 1: the law enforcement is eight eight eight six x nine 747 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 1: two seven two three four who's right Governor Hockel or me? 748 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:40,400 Speaker 1: And why I say, even if your people don't understand 749 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 1: the difference between the two, work with ice anyway, what 750 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,799 Speaker 1: is the downside? Even as a democratic governor, even an 751 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 1: election year where I know that elections are playing a 752 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,399 Speaker 1: bigger role in their decision making than they probably need to. 753 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,279 Speaker 1: In fact, I would argue that if some of these 754 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,359 Speaker 1: democratic mayors and governors really had their wits about them, 755 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 1: they would join the ICE efforts, get the bad people out, 756 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: and win such good will by the people that are 757 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 1: made safer because of it that it might even help 758 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:23,400 Speaker 1: their reelection. Chances is that unreasonable to imagine. Does it 759 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 1: have to be about a party or can it be 760 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 1: about what is commonly good and is law abiding for 761 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 1: the people of your state, of your city, of your neighborhood, 762 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 1: of your block. Would I would like to think, I 763 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,239 Speaker 1: would want to think, I would hope to think that 764 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:51,359 Speaker 1: governors who genuinely want the best for their people will say, 765 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 1: we are going to do everything we can to keep 766 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:59,880 Speaker 1: you safe. And when Huckel says I'm not going to 767 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: to allow immigration and customs enforcement to come into our state, 768 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 1: she is not saying I'm going to do everything I 769 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 1: can to keep you safe. She's saying, I'm gonna do 770 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,879 Speaker 1: everything I can to keep the status quo. And if 771 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 1: the status quo isn't safe, you're just out of luck. 772 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,319 Speaker 1: Is that a fair reading of what she's saying eight 773 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 1: eight eight six ninety two seven two three four eight 774 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 1: eight eight six ninety two seven two three four. It's 775 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:32,319 Speaker 1: a spiritual obligation keep your people safe. You're violating that 776 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 1: governor's eight eight eight six nine two seven two three four. 777 00:50:36,360 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough coming right back from New York That Kevin 778 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough, welcome back from Times Square. It's that Kevin Show, 779 00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,879 Speaker 1: that kevinshow dot com, Kevin mccallaugh. Glad to be with you. 780 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,959 Speaker 1: Everything that you want is at that website, including podcasts 781 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,000 Speaker 1: and videos and all the stuff that we do week 782 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,799 Speaker 1: to week. We never put it behind a paywall because 783 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 1: we want you to have access to it twenty four 784 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 1: to seven without cost. Nicole Huer is with us from 785 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation, and Nicole, you've been in recent weeks 786 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:37,240 Speaker 1: watching the brand new mayoralty of one mister Zoronmmdani. He's 787 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 1: been at the job now for a month. What has 788 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:41,520 Speaker 1: he done to date? 789 00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 7: Absolutely great question, and it is certainly tragic that he 790 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 7: has another three years and eleven months ahead of him, 791 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 7: but to date, some of the things that he has 792 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:57,680 Speaker 7: been able to allegedly accomplish so far. He passed I 793 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 7: think a couple of weeks ago some called two Care 794 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,759 Speaker 7: with the assistance of Kathy Hochel, which was a universal 795 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,840 Speaker 7: child's care for all. 796 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 8: Two year olds. 797 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 7: So that was actually one campaign promise he was able 798 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,880 Speaker 7: to keep. He came painned on universal child's care for 799 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,920 Speaker 7: all children in ages six to five years old, so 800 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 7: he's already got the two year olds down, which of 801 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 7: course is going to be a huge taxpayer burden. At 802 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:33,000 Speaker 7: some recent safety proposals, I saw pledging one point one 803 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 7: billion dollars to the Department of Community Safety, which are 804 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 7: basically glorified mental health workers that he hopes will eventually 805 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,680 Speaker 7: replace police in the city, which would make the city 806 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 7: a lot more. 807 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,840 Speaker 8: Dangerous than it is now. But we are only a 808 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:50,279 Speaker 8: month in. 809 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 7: He campaigned on a law of socialist promises, like the 810 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,239 Speaker 7: government grocery stores, rent freezes that he has been very 811 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 7: heavily pushing, a thirty or minimum wage he's been heavily pushing, 812 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 7: and just all of these things, of course financed by taxpayers. 813 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people watching, especially if 814 00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 1: they live outside of New York, really have an appreciation 815 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 1: for this. But there have been changes even in things 816 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 1: like the COPA law, where if you own a property 817 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 1: you can't even just sell it out right without first 818 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,799 Speaker 1: having to offer it up to a nonprofit that the 819 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,760 Speaker 1: city will then require you to accept the offer from. 820 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 1: Like this is like crazy, like Soviet era style. 821 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 7: Stuff, it really is, And especially looking at housing, just 822 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 7: the price controls that he wants to implement, the rent 823 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:47,359 Speaker 7: freezes essentially a price ceiling with saying how much landlords 824 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 7: can charge. And we know just not an economic theory, 825 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 7: but from experience and from history, we see the detriments 826 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:59,200 Speaker 7: of what happens when you impose housing controls. 827 00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:03,040 Speaker 1: Absolutely, So let's talk a little bit about because you've 828 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 1: written in more in depth about some of these particular policies, 829 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 1: the government owned grocery stores. What do we know about 830 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 1: not only what he wants to do, but has it 831 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,399 Speaker 1: ever been tried before? What's the result going to be? 832 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 4: Like? 833 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,600 Speaker 1: Is there anything we can base a prediction on? 834 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,360 Speaker 8: No great question, Kevin. 835 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:29,600 Speaker 7: He wants to implement five government grocery stores, located one 836 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,480 Speaker 7: in each of New York City's five boroughs. They will 837 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,319 Speaker 7: be located on public property, so they won't have to 838 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 7: pay rent, our property taxes, already putting them at a 839 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 7: sort of competitive advantage in the market. They will be 840 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,719 Speaker 7: run at a zero percent profit margin, meaning they will 841 00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 7: be one hundred percent financed buy tax payers. And we 842 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:52,719 Speaker 7: know from just looking at economic theory, what happens when 843 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,240 Speaker 7: you have government involvement in the free market. It's always 844 00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:00,000 Speaker 7: inefficient and it's costly. The private sector simply does it better. 845 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,479 Speaker 7: And we've seen this play out not just domestically. We've 846 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 7: seen some government grocery stores in America. 847 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 8: One of them was in. 848 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:14,040 Speaker 7: Erie, Kansas in twenty twenty one, and it actually closed 849 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 7: after I think less than four years of operating at 850 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,080 Speaker 7: a net loss. It was two costly to tax payers, 851 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,479 Speaker 7: and they eventually leased it to the private sector, which 852 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,400 Speaker 7: was sort of comical in the sense that the government 853 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 7: intervened in the market and then ended up having to 854 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,880 Speaker 7: lease operations to the private sector, who simply does it better. 855 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,240 Speaker 7: We've also seen in baldswin Florida, another example. They opened 856 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 7: a store in twenty nineteen, once again consistently operating at 857 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 7: a loss. It was two costly to tax payers. Those 858 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,080 Speaker 7: are just two examples from within the United States. But 859 00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,320 Speaker 7: of course, the big example that economists and free market 860 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,759 Speaker 7: proponents always point to is the Soviet Union, and it's 861 00:55:55,800 --> 00:56:00,759 Speaker 7: absolutely true looking at the disparity in what happens when 862 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,360 Speaker 7: you nationalize food supply versus a free market system like 863 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 7: we have in the US and the Soviet Union, when 864 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:12,440 Speaker 7: the government took over the food industry, essentially it resulted 865 00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 7: in shortages in the empty shelves, the rationing in the 866 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:20,759 Speaker 7: Soviet breadlines, So this idea of government grocery stores. 867 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:21,200 Speaker 8: Is not new. 868 00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,319 Speaker 7: We know that it fails in economic theory. We've seen 869 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 7: it fail in history, and it is pretty devastating to 870 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 7: see Zorn Mumdani you know, campaign on this and he 871 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,280 Speaker 7: actually wants to implement it in New York City. 872 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,760 Speaker 1: When he says that he wants the stores to operate 873 00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:43,319 Speaker 1: at a you know, a break even level, how does 874 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,560 Speaker 1: that work? Because you have to have supply, you have 875 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,400 Speaker 1: to have labor that manns the store, and then you 876 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,680 Speaker 1: have to have a way of you know, making sure 877 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,160 Speaker 1: that the operations go on day to day things like 878 00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:02,880 Speaker 1: electricity and broadband and other stuff. Physically, it would this 879 00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't be like people just come in off the street 880 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 1: and just get groceries for free. They're going to have 881 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:08,919 Speaker 1: to pay something for these things. Right. 882 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 7: Yes, the prices will be kept artificially low compared to 883 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:20,240 Speaker 7: maybe a private stores, but they will be run at 884 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 7: no profit, meaning they will be one hundred percent financed 885 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 7: by taxpayers. And we know when the government isn't using 886 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 7: its own money, it typically doesn't use that money well, 887 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:35,160 Speaker 7: meaning that this is going to be extremely burdensome to taxpayers, 888 00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,040 Speaker 7: and it is quite interesting that he says it will 889 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,040 Speaker 7: be run for no profit because, like you mentioned, they 890 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 7: have to pay labor, they have to pay to keep 891 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 7: the lights on, they have to pay to actually get 892 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,760 Speaker 7: the supply of goods that will be in the store. 893 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:53,560 Speaker 7: But comparing that to the private sector, private stores only 894 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 7: make a profit margin of about two percent, so they're 895 00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 7: not these you know, these greedy stores that the often socialist. 896 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 1: Well where John Katzimatidas is a friend and he's been 897 00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 1: operating Gristitis and Degastinos here in the city for years, 898 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 1: and most years he loses money on his grocery operation. 899 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 1: Very few years does he make anything more than two 900 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,560 Speaker 1: or three percent, and a lot of times he just 901 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 1: eats cost on things. And he he does not have 902 00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 1: a particularly discount oriented store. I mean, it's it's not 903 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 1: it's not the kind of thing that is going to 904 00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 1: be it's going to be ideal, especially considering the well 905 00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:39,160 Speaker 1: his his operation is not by any means a luxury 906 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:43,919 Speaker 1: or you know, something fanciful that's running up a big 907 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,160 Speaker 1: profit margin. He's barely making it. And he's and he 908 00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 1: has higher prices than some of the suburban areas where 909 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 1: you can go and get the same groceries at a 910 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: lower cost. You have to travel to get him, but 911 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,680 Speaker 1: the advantage is the is the closeness. I can't see 912 00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:01,720 Speaker 1: how Mom Donnie does anything close to this and brings 913 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 1: about not only a good experience for the consumers, but 914 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 1: there's no way that those stores stay in business. 915 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 8: That's absolutely right. 916 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 7: And looking at the examples that I talked about earlier 917 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 7: in Florida, in Kansas that have opened or in the 918 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,560 Speaker 7: past to open the stores, they were too costly to taxpayers. 919 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,440 Speaker 7: The government figured out that they just can't compete with 920 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,560 Speaker 7: the private sector. The private sector does it better because 921 00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,880 Speaker 7: they're better equipped to handle the intricacies of running a business. 922 00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,960 Speaker 7: The government has no place in doing that. And like 923 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 7: you mentioned, it's not going to bring down food affordability 924 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 7: for New Yorkers. If anything, it's going to be more 925 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,120 Speaker 7: costly because now people are going to be paying more 926 00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 7: in taxes. The city's going to be taking on more debt. 927 00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 1: Toto all of these projects and wants to slam corporations 928 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 1: with higher taxes. What's to prevent all of them from 929 00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:55,920 Speaker 1: just pulling up stakes and leaving. 930 00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:57,919 Speaker 3: Not much. 931 00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:03,000 Speaker 7: He wants to increase the corporate tax rate from the 932 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:06,160 Speaker 7: local rate from eight point eighty five percent to eleven 933 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:11,720 Speaker 7: point five percent, making the overall federal, state, and local 934 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 7: corporate tax burden forty percent for these businesses. And there 935 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:21,680 Speaker 7: really isn't anything stopping these businesses from from leaving because 936 01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:25,800 Speaker 7: they're just like you said, getting slammed with higher taxes. 937 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:30,360 Speaker 7: They likely won't have incentive to an incentive to stay 938 01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,440 Speaker 7: in the city and pay these high rates, or if 939 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,520 Speaker 7: they do choose to say, choose to stay, they're going 940 01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 7: to have to inflate their prices. 941 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 8: To counteract that higher tax burden. 942 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,600 Speaker 7: So either way, if they raise their prices, that's going 943 01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:49,080 Speaker 7: to be terrible for consumers. They might lay off workers 944 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,600 Speaker 7: once again to cut costs, or if they just leave 945 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 7: the city altogether, they take with them their labor, their 946 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,360 Speaker 7: contributions to the economy, and they take with them the 947 01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:03,959 Speaker 7: TA space that Mmdonie desperately needs to finance all of these. 948 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 1: Appreciate your time as always, thank you for joining. 949 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:09,840 Speaker 8: Thank you so much for having me on today. 950 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 1: Calvin McCalla coming back from Times Squared. It's that Kevin Show. 951 01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,760 Speaker 1: Get the podcast at the Salem Podcast Network. Don't go anywhere, 952 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 1: Let's stick around. 953 01:01:40,040 --> 01:02:00,560 Speaker 3: For more of BT Kevin next here he is from 954 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:01,080 Speaker 3: New York. 955 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 1: That Kevin Kevin McCullough eight eight eight six nine two 956 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 1: seven two three four eight eight eight six ninety two 957 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:14,600 Speaker 1: seven two three four. During the break, I was just 958 01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:18,600 Speaker 1: doing a little surfing. I started the show out today 959 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:23,440 Speaker 1: just making mention that it's been uncovered that the the 960 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:27,440 Speaker 1: celebrities that were all you know, anti Ice at the 961 01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:33,640 Speaker 1: Grammys loudly verbally or or visually they were wearing pins 962 01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,840 Speaker 1: or or they made statements from the from the podium 963 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 1: that that Billie Eilish says, you know, no one's illegal 964 01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 1: in stolen Land, meaning that if somebody comes to the US, 965 01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 1: they can't be considered illegal here because our land was 966 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 1: stolen from people. I don't know what that has to 967 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:58,520 Speaker 1: do with people being here without legal permission to be here, 968 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,640 Speaker 1: but you know, they want to play these semantic games 969 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:06,560 Speaker 1: no one is illegal. Well, yeah, I guess that's technically 970 01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 1: kind of true. The legality of who you are isn't 971 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:14,920 Speaker 1: really measured by whether you're legally human or not legally 972 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,040 Speaker 1: human or something like that. But your presence in the 973 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:22,480 Speaker 1: country is legal, or your presence in the country is illegal, 974 01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,520 Speaker 1: you're not legal or illegal. It's not illegal to be you, 975 01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:32,280 Speaker 1: but your presence here may not conform to the laws. 976 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:37,680 Speaker 1: Therefore your entry into this place can be a crime. 977 01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:43,280 Speaker 1: It can be and uh so she says, no one's 978 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,960 Speaker 1: illegal on stolen lands. And then we find out that 979 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:51,000 Speaker 1: she and the Beebers and Lady Gagon a few others 980 01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 1: that were all, you know, loud and proud about everything, 981 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:59,680 Speaker 1: they all own lands that are on sacred ancient Indian 982 01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:05,080 Speaker 1: tribe territory lands. And now the breaking update to this, 983 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,320 Speaker 1: Billie Eilish, who said that at the award ceremony, is 984 01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,960 Speaker 1: now being called out by Native American tribe after she 985 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 1: insisted no one is illegal on stolen land. The Tonga tribe, 986 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:24,640 Speaker 1: based in southern California, tells Fox News the singer's multimillion 987 01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 1: dollar mansion sits on their ancestral land in Glendale. The 988 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,560 Speaker 1: tribe says they have reached out to Eilish but have 989 01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 1: not heard back from her. It is our hope that 990 01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:39,720 Speaker 1: in future discussions the tribe can explicitly be referenced to 991 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 1: ensure the public understands that the Greater Los Angeles Basin 992 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:54,800 Speaker 1: remains Gabriel Llino Tonga territory, but the actual tribe who 993 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 1: possessed the land where Billy Oilish's house was built. And 994 01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Billy Elis should have to forfeit 995 01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:05,640 Speaker 1: her house. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying 996 01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:09,440 Speaker 1: is is that she is thumbing her nose so hard 997 01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:16,840 Speaker 1: at the nation as a whole for something that she 998 01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:23,480 Speaker 1: literally has done in microcosm identical to what she's accusing 999 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,160 Speaker 1: others of doing. Now she'll say, no, I didn't know 1000 01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:31,080 Speaker 1: about that, I just bought the house. Well, nobody, none 1001 01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 1: of the rest of us here have any relationship to 1002 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,920 Speaker 1: the stealing quote unquote stealing of territorial lands. And it 1003 01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,560 Speaker 1: was and it wasn't stolen. This is part of what 1004 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,640 Speaker 1: they don't teach in schools about this. But there were 1005 01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:51,520 Speaker 1: a series of treaties and compromises and deals, and depending 1006 01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,840 Speaker 1: on the tribe and depending on the region, depending on 1007 01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,040 Speaker 1: where they were, and depending on how not all of 1008 01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,840 Speaker 1: it was done. Certainly not all of it was done 1009 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,800 Speaker 1: in favor of the of the native tribes, but not 1010 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 1: all of the tribes got worked over either. Like there 1011 01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:06,800 Speaker 1: was there was good and take, There was good and 1012 01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,959 Speaker 1: bad give and take in all of that, and where 1013 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,080 Speaker 1: we are today is where we are. Like, I don't 1014 01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,760 Speaker 1: believe that you can go back and rectify history. History 1015 01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:19,000 Speaker 1: was what history was. We can look at it, we 1016 01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,960 Speaker 1: can examine it, we can learn it, we can we 1017 01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,040 Speaker 1: can learn from it. We can set new ideals and 1018 01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,640 Speaker 1: new principles and aim for you know, better outcomes the 1019 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:33,600 Speaker 1: next go around. But it's kind of like the argument 1020 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:37,600 Speaker 1: that there should be reparations now for four generations back 1021 01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:41,920 Speaker 1: of people that owned human slaves. Well, if you do 1022 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:45,040 Speaker 1: that in the US, most of us don't have any 1023 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:49,240 Speaker 1: relationships to slave owners. The vast majority of Americans don't have. 1024 01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:53,040 Speaker 1: So you're going to then take from the people that 1025 01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,919 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with it, even four generations later, 1026 01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 1: to do what give to people that have all of 1027 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: the opportunities that none of their ancestors did, and have 1028 01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:11,080 Speaker 1: every bit of ability to go and do more. This 1029 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:20,360 Speaker 1: idea of picking winners and losers and favorites and you know, unfavorables, 1030 01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,400 Speaker 1: it's really it's a very crass way of looking at humanity. 1031 01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:30,080 Speaker 1: And this is what I'm calling these governors out on today. 1032 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:35,880 Speaker 1: They think that their people are stupid. That's the bottom line. 1033 01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:42,440 Speaker 1: Mike Walls, Kathy Hokeel Gavin Newsom. They think that the 1034 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,960 Speaker 1: voters in their state are stupid, at least that's what 1035 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,480 Speaker 1: they're saying in their language. I'm not sure that my 1036 01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,880 Speaker 1: people will be able to tell the difference between their 1037 01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:54,960 Speaker 1: local police and the Ice agents. That's really that. That's 1038 01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:59,120 Speaker 1: the objection that you have. Your folks are so dumb. 1039 01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessary. I think you should pay 1040 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 1: respect to all that are in authority, unless they are 1041 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,960 Speaker 1: directly violating scripture or dishonoring God or another human like 1042 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 1: I think that there are obvious times when that should 1043 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 1: be There should be an exception to that. But you're 1044 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:24,040 Speaker 1: telling me that your folks are they're just too dumb 1045 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:30,840 Speaker 1: to understand. We have a high view of ourselves, we 1046 01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,320 Speaker 1: have a low view of others, and it should be 1047 01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,000 Speaker 1: the opposite. Kevin mccallaugh, come r my back, don't go 1048 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:59,080 Speaker 1: away here. 1049 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:04,800 Speaker 3: He is from New York. That Kevin Kevin McCollough. 1050 01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,040 Speaker 1: My phone number is eight eight eight six nine two 1051 01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,679 Speaker 1: seven two three four eight eight six nine two seven 1052 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:20,320 Speaker 1: two three four. Christy Nome, the Secretary of the Department 1053 01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:27,599 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security, heard the the rumblings at the Grammys 1054 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:29,679 Speaker 1: on Sunday night, and I thought she had a pretty 1055 01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:35,240 Speaker 1: unique reaction to it. Christie's actually before she was brought 1056 01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:40,320 Speaker 1: into the Trump administration. She was she was she's actually 1057 01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 1: substituted on some of our Salem Radio Network shows before. 1058 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:48,840 Speaker 1: She's been a host on some of these different ones, 1059 01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:52,120 Speaker 1: and she's been a guest on nearly all of them. 1060 01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:55,599 Speaker 1: But she spoke out after Bad Money and Billie Eilish 1061 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,800 Speaker 1: and the others said what they said, and this is 1062 01:09:57,800 --> 01:09:59,320 Speaker 1: what she said. I thought I thought it was I 1063 01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,320 Speaker 1: thought it was no. She said, I just wish that 1064 01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,639 Speaker 1: they knew what wonderful, amazing people our ice officers are. 1065 01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,719 Speaker 1: Many of these officers live in communities where they are 1066 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:15,719 Speaker 1: doing enforcement activities, So they're in the community that they're 1067 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:19,280 Speaker 1: having to do the enforcement in their families live there, 1068 01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,360 Speaker 1: and that's their neighbors that they are protecting by getting 1069 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 1: dangerous criminals off the street. They're going after the murderers 1070 01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 1: and rapists and people that are trafficking drugs, and they're 1071 01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 1: protecting America. She said, this is what President Trump said 1072 01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,080 Speaker 1: he would do. He said he would make us safer. 1073 01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,439 Speaker 1: We've reached historic lows and crime rates, the lowest rate 1074 01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 1: of murder and crime since we have been recording it 1075 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:45,200 Speaker 1: in over one hundred years. Noo, I'm told Fox News Digital. 1076 01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:49,480 Speaker 1: She said, it's real results people are feeling in their communities, 1077 01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,559 Speaker 1: and it's too bad that ill informed, famous musicians make 1078 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:56,720 Speaker 1: statements like that without knowing what great Americans. ICE and 1079 01:10:56,760 --> 01:11:01,760 Speaker 1: Border Patrol officers are said yesterday in my column and 1080 01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:03,960 Speaker 1: here on the show that this is the most thankless 1081 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,120 Speaker 1: job that you can possibly have in America right now 1082 01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:12,880 Speaker 1: because of what the media is saying and doing about them. 1083 01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:16,760 Speaker 1: But does that change your perspective at all to know 1084 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,840 Speaker 1: that many of these officers, well, why, that's why that 1085 01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:24,960 Speaker 1: group attacked the church in Minneapolis. You know what I'm 1086 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,160 Speaker 1: talking about a couple of weekends ago, when a group 1087 01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:31,360 Speaker 1: of protesters, most of whom did not live in the area, 1088 01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:36,000 Speaker 1: found out that one of the ICE agents did live 1089 01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,800 Speaker 1: in the area and in fact was likely at a 1090 01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:43,760 Speaker 1: certain church on Sunday morning, they stormed the service with 1091 01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 1: the intent of finding this person, creating havoc, scaring everybody 1092 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:57,400 Speaker 1: in there, and they were successful on all those things. 1093 01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:02,559 Speaker 1: That's the goal, though, is to intimidate and tell people 1094 01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:07,280 Speaker 1: to be quiet. And I don't think that we can friend. 1095 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:16,519 Speaker 1: I think that the if someone denigrates ICE in your presence, 1096 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:21,519 Speaker 1: if they denigrate police in your presence, if they denigrate 1097 01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, the military that puts its life on the 1098 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 1: line for us all the time. These are These are 1099 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:36,240 Speaker 1: agents of the country that are actively employed to protect 1100 01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:40,440 Speaker 1: you and in and in the ICE raids in particular. 1101 01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:45,960 Speaker 1: These are these are people that are actively involved in 1102 01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:51,599 Speaker 1: enforcing laws that most of the time have been overlooked, ignored, 1103 01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:58,240 Speaker 1: set aside by local leaders for whatever you judge for yourself, 1104 01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:01,760 Speaker 1: but for whatever reasons that they might have, they have 1105 01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,280 Speaker 1: decided to just look the other way on this stuff. 1106 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:11,720 Speaker 1: And as they do that, what happens. Well, if you 1107 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,880 Speaker 1: have known murderers and child molesters and rapists that are 1108 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:19,160 Speaker 1: in your neighborhood and they have committed these crimes since 1109 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:23,160 Speaker 1: being here and you don't do anything about it, that 1110 01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:26,080 Speaker 1: sends the message to them they can do it again. 1111 01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:32,320 Speaker 1: And this is the more stunting part. Then even a 1112 01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:36,720 Speaker 1: governor pretending likes she doesn't think that her people can 1113 01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,120 Speaker 1: tell the difference between local police and ICE. I don't 1114 01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:41,559 Speaker 1: think that there's a need to. I think if you 1115 01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,800 Speaker 1: see law enforcement, I just think it's a good rule 1116 01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:50,640 Speaker 1: of thumb, do as you're asked, cooperate, be peaceful. If 1117 01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:53,800 Speaker 1: you don't like what they're doing, certainly, I guess you 1118 01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:58,840 Speaker 1: can protest, but you can't protest them into not doing 1119 01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:04,519 Speaker 1: their job. They've been hired by the people of the 1120 01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:10,720 Speaker 1: United States to go and get these dangerous, heinously dangerous 1121 01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:17,479 Speaker 1: criminals and to return them, to return the neighborhood to 1122 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:27,560 Speaker 1: safety by removing them. The fact that people and I 1123 01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:29,320 Speaker 1: don't know where it comes from. I don't know why 1124 01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,760 Speaker 1: they why they want to oppose that. I've wanted to 1125 01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:37,680 Speaker 1: ask people that are actively hate Ice and Ice is 1126 01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,320 Speaker 1: terrible and Ice this, and I said, what do you 1127 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 1: have against Ice keeping your your neighborhood safe? You know 1128 01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,400 Speaker 1: what Ice isn't doing. And you don't even hear you 1129 01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:52,559 Speaker 1: don't even hear the anti ice protesters say this anymore. 1130 01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,160 Speaker 1: But they were trying to say at the beginning, Oh, 1131 01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:58,439 Speaker 1: they're they're they're streaming, they're taking grandma out and they're 1132 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:01,439 Speaker 1: and they're you know, all the buela and like they're 1133 01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:06,400 Speaker 1: not letting her and and nobody says that now because 1134 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,519 Speaker 1: we've all seen the mugshots of the people that they've gotten. 1135 01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:15,800 Speaker 1: They're not grannies, and they don't look innocent, and if 1136 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:19,320 Speaker 1: their rap sheets are accurate, it's people that have had 1137 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:24,080 Speaker 1: a very very negative impact on the society and the 1138 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,040 Speaker 1: world around them, and in particular that neighborhood that they 1139 01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:33,160 Speaker 1: were taken from. Everybody's concerned, and I think fairly so 1140 01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 1: for Savannah gun Thrie's mom. Today, lots of stories about 1141 01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's been four days that she's been missing. 1142 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:41,960 Speaker 1: She didn't show up for church on Sunday, and so 1143 01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:46,920 Speaker 1: they've they've been anxious and trying to figure out where 1144 01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:53,559 Speaker 1: she went. She's in her eighties. It's a sad story. 1145 01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:58,080 Speaker 1: But if if she ends up having been abducted or 1146 01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,680 Speaker 1: killed by someone who was in the country are illegally, 1147 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:08,800 Speaker 1: will will the press finally say, oh, maybe criminals that 1148 01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,759 Speaker 1: don't have the right to be here, maybe those people 1149 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:18,360 Speaker 1: should not be here. I think if we have anything 1150 01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,479 Speaker 1: but a grateful heart of gratitude for what ICE is doing, 1151 01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:28,600 Speaker 1: we're misguided because they're trying to make this country safe 1152 01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 1: for your kids in mind, and on that level, I'm grateful. 1153 01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:36,880 Speaker 1: Kevin mckella, if you disagree, email me that Kevin show 1154 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:38,400 Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. 1155 01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:53,120 Speaker 9: Let's stick around for more of that Kevin next serving 1156 01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:56,600 Speaker 9: it up with a no drink minimum. 1157 01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:02,679 Speaker 1: It's that Kevin show, all right.
