Speaker 1: Friday on That Kevin Show and now from the legendary

00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: Honors in Sullivan Broadcast Studios.

11
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: The man who is not what he wants to be,

12
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: but he's way grateful.

13
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: That he is not what he used to be. Here, Well,

14
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 3: good Monday to you, friend. I cannot wait for us

15
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: to dig into today's show, particularly our brand new series

16
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: with Pastor Dave Stone, who is from the I believe

17
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: the Colorado Springs area in the country. He's he's a

18
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: board member focused on the family. That's where they're headquartered.

19
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: Uh and he's he's he's a really cool guy and

20
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: he hosts a podcast called Pastor to Pastor, And we're

21
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 3: gonna look at We're gonna look at a section of

22
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: scripture that we have not looked at previously. Uh, And

23
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: it's one of those things where I think it's gonna

24
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: be kind of cool as we kind of go through

25
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: the week and kind of unveil, you know, one layer

26
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: after the other this story as we kind of go

27
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: through it. But I'm looking forward to that with you

28
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: today in all five days this week. You don't want

29
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: to miss any of it. We've also got some very

30
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: interesting guests. Erica Donalds is going to join us later

31
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: in today's show. She is the wife of Byron Donalds,

32
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 3: and those of you in Florida have no confusion over

33
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: who he is. He's running for governor, but his wife,

34
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: Erica has been an educational advocate for families and children

35
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 3: for years and she is one of these people that

36
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 3: I think it really makes a difference with like every

37
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: second that she is awake, she just makes a difference

38
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: everywhere she goes. She's going to talk to us today

39
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: a little bit about some of the educational options that

40
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: are coming down the pike for your children and mine

41
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: in the reality of what America's public education has become.

42
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 3: Because there's some proposals that the President is talking about

43
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: just funding completely the Department of Education, and they've already

44
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: greatly downsized it from where it was, but is there

45
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 3: more things to be done with that. We'll talk about

46
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 3: all that. Plus it's a money Monday, so Lou Basinie

47
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: will be here in this hour, Hillary Kramer in the

48
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: next We're going to talk about the economy and what's

49
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: going on, particularly as we're getting towards the end of

50
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 3: the year. A lot of people they either freak out

51
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: or they kind of go crazy with you know, they

52
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: freak out in a panic, and so they make one

53
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: choice or they kind of go crazy on the other end.

54
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: And I'm interested to see where Hillary and Lou are

55
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: both king to come down on what the approach for

56
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: investing should be as we kind of round out the

57
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: year of twenty twenty five. But I have to start

58
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: with yesterday's violence because not only in not only in

59
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: the tragic case of Brown University this weekend, but last

60
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: night or yesterday in Australia, we're just we're reminded again

61
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 3: that evil is real, that it is rearing its ugly

62
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: head all the time. There are moments where plain language

63
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: is not just helpful but it's necessary, and that shooting

64
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: at Bondi Beach in Australia yesterday is one of those.

65
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: In the aftermath, two very different styles of reporting emerged

66
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: here in the in the journalistic commentariat, if you will.

67
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: One largely reflected in the American and Australian coverage carefully

68
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 3: as symbol facts while pushioning the ideological core of what

69
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: happened there. The other, most notably in European reporting, put

70
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: the ideology front and center, quoting those closest to the

71
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: attackers and letting the public see kind of unfiltered what

72
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: radicalization actually looks like, because this was carried out by

73
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: a radical I'm talking about the assassination of fifteen Jewish

74
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 3: people that were celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach, And that

75
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: contrast matters Fox News, who I've given a lot of

76
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: credit to in the past as as getting a lot

77
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: of things right. Quoting the Australian authorities, acknowledged that radical

78
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: and potential Iranian linked influence, but the piece was written

79
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: as a study in restraint, if you will, a kind

80
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: of institutional throat clearing that never quite landed the plane.

81
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 3: I was reading the top story on it this morning

82
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: on their websites, like what's their names, where are they from?

83
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: What do we know about the attackers? The attackers themselves.

84
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: The Australian authorities were just saying, well, an armed man

85
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: who had legal license to the firearms that they use,

86
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: and the story tiptoed around the most uncomfortable truth of

87
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: the entire affair, which is this that this attack was

88
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: animated by a worldview that teaches hatred of Jews as

89
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: a virtue. By contrast, the UK's Telegraph, because I saw

90
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: I was reading through all the different sources trying to

91
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: see what I could decipher, reported something that seemed far different,

92
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: much more revealing, far more damning, if you will. It

93
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: quoted the dead terrorist's wife, who described her son, the

94
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: other shooter in the attack, as a quote good boy.

95
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: Why well to her because he didn't drink, and he

96
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 3: didn't smoke, and he didn't party, he didn't go to

97
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 3: the club. But astonishingly, his participation in the annihilation of

98
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: Jews doesn't register in her mind and it doesn't disqualify

99
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: her from saying he's a good boy. Now, that single

100
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: idea alone should tell you more about the problem than

101
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 3: a thousand euphemisms or rephrasings of parsed wording.

102
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: This is what.

103
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: Racalization looks like, by the way, when it has fully

104
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: taken hold moral inversion, good is bad, bad as good,

105
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 3: a worldview in which outward piety is the measure of goodness,

106
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 3: while the murder of Jews is not only excusable but

107
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: seen as righteous. Words weren't defensive, they were just a

108
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: matter of fact. He's a good boy. She wasn't shocked

109
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: by what her son had done. She was confused that

110
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: anyone else might be. That doesn't happen accidentally. By the way,

111
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: people are not born with this belief. People are not

112
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: born with this belief that Jews deserve to die. They

113
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: are taught that, they are trained on that. They are

114
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: saturated in a theology that frames Jews as eternal enemies

115
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: and corrupt, treacherous, cursed. Over time, the horror fades, the

116
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: killing becomes normalized, even at times sanctified. It's not theoretical,

117
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: it's observable. You read the charters of hamas or has

118
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 3: a Law, sermons broadcast across the satellite television to Iranian

119
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: funded cultural centers, the message is consistent. Jews are the problem.

120
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: Jews are the obstacle. Jews must be removed. Iran didn't

121
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: invent this hatred, but it sure has industrialized it. Islamic Republic,

122
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: terrible name for it, by the way, has spent decades

123
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: exporting anti Semitic doctrine with money, weapons, and ideology. It

124
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: backs terror groups not merely as geopolitical tools, but as

125
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: religious instruments. The goal is not borders. The goal is purification,

126
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 3: beginning with the Jews and eventually extending to the West

127
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: that protects them. Bondi Beach fits this pattern perfectly. The

128
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: father and son radicalized together, a family steeped in belief,

129
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: a mother who cannot recognize evil because the theology has

130
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: redefined it. And then he had a media class that

131
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: seemed terrified to state it. Why if you name Islam

132
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 3: plainly and without modifiers forces a reckoning in many people's

133
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 3: minds they would rather avoid it means admitting that this

134
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 3: problem is not limited to extremists who miss read the faith,

135
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: but to interpretations of Islam that are widely taught, widely funded,

136
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: and widely defended. So instead stories get softened, language gets diluted,

137
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: the ideology blurred, and the public is left with the

138
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: impression that these events are just tragic but inscrutable. Jews

139
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 3: are dying because of this belief, my friend, they're being hunted.

140
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: And if that sounds harsh, it's because reality is harsh.

141
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: Bondi Beach should end the pretending people are being radicalized,

142
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: Jews are being targeted and unless we're willing to speak

143
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: honestly about why this isn't going to be the last

144
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 3: time we say it because it was Islam again.

145
00:09:54,520 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 5: So here he is from New York, That Kelly Kevin mcaulay. Welcome,

157
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: we going to focus our mind on today, how are

158
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: we going to live? Here's what we do. We stay

159
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: on mission, we stay winsome, and we take the Gospel

160
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: to them.

161
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 6: But how do we do that?

162
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: That is a challenge day in and day out. And

163
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 3: I'm I'm so glad this week to have Pastor Dave

164
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: Stone joining us. He is part of the Focus on

165
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: the Family community. He's actually a board member for Focus

166
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: and he's been a pastor for thirty years and he

167
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 3: loves talking to fellow pastors and encouraging them and that's

168
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 3: why his pastor's podcast is called Pastor to Pastor with

169
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: David Stone. So, Dave, it's good to have you here.

170
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: Thanks for being with us.

171
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 6: Hey, Kevin, thank you so much.

172
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: It's an honor to be here.

173
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 7: And I appreciate what you're doing, the difference you're making

174
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 7: really all across the country.

175
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 3: Well, we want to be faithful more than anything else,

176
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: and that's the goal.

177
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 6: This week.

178
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 3: You're going to direct our thoughts not to the advent season,

179
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: but to the other end of life, Lazarus and how

180
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 3: Jesus interacted with him in John eleven. Where are we

181
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: going to go this week?

182
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 6: Yeah?

183
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: This week and by the way.

184
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 7: I love the format of what you do in this

185
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 7: section how do we live? And we all do need

186
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 7: some help and some encouragements into a message by Billy

187
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 7: Graham back from the nineteen seventies, and he said in

188
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 7: that message, he said, loneliness is a big problem that

189
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 7: we have. Questioning where is God is another big one

190
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 7: that we have, and I don't think that's changed in

191
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 7: fifty some years. Sure, And so we're going to be

192
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 7: the path to a familiar story. If you've been raised

193
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,119
Speaker 7: in the church, you're familiar with the story of Lazarus

194
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 7: in John chapter eleven and Jesus bringing him back from

195
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 7: the dead. And I thought we might camp out there

196
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 7: and just understand that there are always going to be seasons,

197
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 7: and it might be right now before Christmas, when it's

198
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 7: a difficult time and we want God to intervene in

199
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 7: some way, whether it's family reconciliation, whether it's a new job,

200
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 7: whether it's financially for God to come through. But we

201
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 7: just feel like, yeah, he must not be listening to

202
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 7: my prayers, and maybe we just feel at times like

203
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 7: bouncing against the healing rather than actually making it to him.

204
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: Well, let's we're going to be in John chapter eleven

205
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: for this section of the week. What are we going

206
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: to find there?

207
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 7: Well, we're going to find that the story starts off

208
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 7: with Jesus being out of town with his disciples, and

209
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 7: when he's he's gone with them, he gets a message

210
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:27,599
Speaker 7: from Mary and Martha, who are sisters of Lazarus, and

211
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 7: they just have one request. They say, hey, Lazarus, he

212
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 7: was a great friend of Jesus, is dying, and you

213
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 7: come and you come back quickly. I mean they've heard

214
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 7: all these stories of him healing, of him intervenient people's lives,

215
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 7: and so they're just asking for a bedside healing, something

216
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 7: that he does for total strangers right and left. So

217
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 7: surely he's going to come to see their brother and

218
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 7: his friend and heal him. But the Bible paints a

219
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 7: different picture for us, and it's says that Jesus waits

220
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 7: there two more days before he begins his journey all

221
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 7: the way back to where Lazarus is. And the question

222
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 7: that I want to pose to all of your listeners

223
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 7: right now is how are you with a God who

224
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 7: doesn't show up when you feel like you need him?

225
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 7: In other words, what do you do when God doesn't do?

226
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: What you think he should do.

227
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 7: And that's the question of the hour because oftentimes we

228
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 7: feel like we know, you know what's best for us,

229
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 7: and we're asking for God's intervention. But Kevin, we just

230
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 7: wait and wait, and he doesn't seem like he comes through.

231
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 7: And what's interesting is that they make this request, they

232
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 7: expect him to come, and he doesn't come. And the

233
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 7: disciples had to be a bit bewildered as well. You know, Okay,

234
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 7: your friend is asking for help and we're staying put

235
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 7: and we're not coming. I mean, they're ready to pack

236
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 7: their knapsacks and say, okay, let's high tail it back

237
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 7: to Bethany. But instead they just sit there and they wait.

238
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 7: There's this really cool verse that I think sometimes we

239
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 7: skip over. I'm not a Bible scholar, but I love

240
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 7: to find nuggets.

241
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: That are in the scripture.

242
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 7: And in John chapter eleven, it says the sisters sent

243
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 7: word to Jesus, the Lord, the one you love is sick.

244
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 7: That's in verse three, and then in John four and

245
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 7: five it says this sickness will not end in death.

246
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 7: Jesus says, no, it's for God's glory, so that God's

247
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 7: son may be glorified.

248
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 4: Through it.

249
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 7: Okay, mystical, weird, all right? Okay, what's he saying in

250
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 7: each disciple is the same to one another. Okay, I

251
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 7: know you're going to have to help explain this to me.

252
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 7: This is for God's glory and they just wait there.

253
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 7: But verse five, Kevin, is the cool verse. It has

254
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 7: nothing to do with the text. It has nothing to do.

255
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: With what's going in the story.

256
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 7: But John in search it in there for those of

257
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 7: us who are reading it right now in twenty twenty, this.

258
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 3: Is what he just interjects.

259
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 7: Now, Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So

260
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 7: he just randomly interrupts the story to interject that Jesus

261
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 7: loved Martha and Marion Lazarus.

262
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 6: And why does he do that? So we have to ask.

263
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 7: Ourselves, okay, why is he asking this question? And the

264
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 7: only explanation is because this next line is not going

265
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 7: to make any sense.

266
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,239
Speaker 3: The next line.

267
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 7: Says, so when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he

268
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 7: stayed there for two more days.

269
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 6: Huh.

270
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 7: And so it's like, okay, wait a second here, dire

271
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 7: need come through Jesus, we need your brother and then dead.

272
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 7: The next verse says he stayed for two more days.

273
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 7: So John wants to make certain that you hear the

274
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 7: fact that he stayed two more days behind that backdrop

275
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 7: of the fact that Jesus loved Martha, Mary and Lazarus.

276
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 3: So he's saying, don't miss this. We're going to come

277
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: back to it later. You're going to see Jesus really

278
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: loves him.

279
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 7: But when you're in that point in December of twenty

280
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 7: twenty five and you're begging and you're asking God to

281
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 7: intervene and he doesn't show up, WHOA, that's tough stuff

282
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 7: because you feel like the God of the universe is

283
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 7: asleep at the.

284
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 6: Wheel, you know what I mean.

285
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: Well, so I'm picky about semantics, which is kind of

286
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 3: probably not helpful a lot of times. But I think

287
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 3: there's a distinction between God not showing up objectively and

288
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 3: us not perceiving how he's showing up. I think that's

289
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 3: what the author is kind of digging at here, isn't it.

290
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 3: I mean that statement I've never noticed that before. But

291
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 3: verse five is an interjection that in the narrative is

292
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 3: very significant in terms of context, because if you don't

293
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 3: know that part of it, a lot of the rest

294
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: of this that we've looked at thus far does not

295
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: make sense. Yeah, you're exactly right.

296
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 7: And if you were an editor and you were reading

297
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 7: through the Gospel of John, you'd be tempted just to say, oh, okay, well,

298
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 7: that has no bearing on what's going on in this moment.

299
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 7: Why are we going on a detour in an offshoot

300
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 7: by saying, oh, yeah, well Jesus loved them. Well, it's

301
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 7: because that's the backdrop in which we need to live

302
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 7: this life.

303
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: And you're exactly right.

304
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 7: We look for a certain answer from God when we

305
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 7: pray to him, and you fell into blank. How am

306
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 7: I going to pay for my mortgage? What's going to

307
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 7: happen at Christmas? When we get the family together and

308
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 7: there's that tension because of what he said to her

309
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 7: thanks Giving? You know, all these different things start to

310
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 7: play out, and God's up there saying, Hey, I've got this,

311
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 7: just trust me, trust me. And I think that's what

312
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 7: He's trying to convey through through John. I believe that

313
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 7: the God answers prayers in a variety of different ways.

314
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 7: He might say yes, he might say no, he might

315
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 7: say wait a while, or he might say you got

316
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 7: to be kidding me.

317
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 3: Why are you asking for that?

318
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 7: You know, so we're not exactly certain always, but but

319
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 7: that waiting period which the systems go through, you know,

320
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 7: when Jesus does finally show up, one day becomes two

321
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 7: or two becomes three, and when he gets there, Lastrius

322
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 7: has been dead for four days and they are waiting

323
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 7: and time is just continuing to march on, and yet

324
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 7: Jesus didn't show up.

325
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 3: Well, the interesting thing about this, friends, and we're going

326
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: to kind of draw this discussion for today to a

327
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 3: close here, but the interesting thing about this is that

328
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 3: you know what, even if you don't have a brother

329
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: who's dying in your life right now, you know that

330
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: what Pastor Dave has just said applies in about a

331
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: billion ways in your life, things that you think you

332
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: expect God to do, but you feel like he ignored

333
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: you or in some way you were unimportant to him

334
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: because that answer has not come in the form that

335
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: you thought it should. I cannot wait to get to

336
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: the next portion of this discussion, because I mean it's

337
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: going to be pretty encouraging anyway. Dave Stone Pastor to

338
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 3: Pastor with Dave Stone is the podcast Folks on Family

339

Speaker 1: Dave.

342
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 3: We're going to talk to you again tomorrow. Thank you

343
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 3: for hitting our mind thinking along these lines today.

344
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 7: Thank you, Thanks so much.

345
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

346
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 3: It's Kevin McCullough from Times Square.

347
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 6: I don't go what.

348
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 4: Here?

349
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 6: He is from New York.

350
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 3: That Kevin. Kevin McCullough. All right, very glad to have

351
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 3: you with us.

352
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 6: Friends.

353
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: We've got a big show yet to come, and we're

354
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 3: gonna do more this week on the Australia shooting as well,

355
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 3: because I just I can't let that go. There's there's

356
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 3: something And I've been bothered by this for a good

357
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 3: little bit now because several of these really violent, you know,

358
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 3: incidents that have occurred in the last few weeks have

359
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 3: all been related to Islamic radicals. And maybe it's more

360
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: so on my mind because here in New York we

361
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 3: have an Islamic radical. It's about to become mayor. He

362
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 3: was voted in strangely enough, from the city that had

363
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: nine to eleven. Happened to it. But the fact that

364
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 3: that's some of the American press was just like glossing

365
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: over the fact that these guys were even you know,

366
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: tangentially Islamic. And then it turns out if you read

367
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 3: like the European papers, like the Telegraph, they actually had

368
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 3: this in depth detail of you know, where he'd been.

369
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 3: He got a certificate for finishing his you know, religious

370
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: courses in radicalization. Like I said, it's but the mom's like,

371
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: oh he good boy. No smoke, no drink, no go

372
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: to club, and like that's not the measure. Would you

373
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: rather have a kid who smoked or one who killed

374
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: Jews on the first night of Hanukah?

375
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 6: I mean?

376
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 3: And the fact that the mom can't piece together this

377
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 3: this kind of almost incredulous, you know, manhunt for her,

378
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 3: for her son and husband, her husband who died, is

379
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: really rather remarkable. And it's not unrelated friends to the

380
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: global push for Islam everywhere. And one of the things

381
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 3: that I'm constantly reminded of as we are trying to

382
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: liberate slaves in Sudan is that that's what we're rescuing

383
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 3: these Christian women from that same mindset, that same mentality, Oh,

384
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 3: what do you mean it's offensive to rape my female slave?

385
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 3: Why would that be offensive? Islam allows me to have

386
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 3: the female slave and to mistreat her as much as

387
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 3: I want. I was just talking to some of the

388
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 3: folks from CSI and this week, traditionally, friends across the country,

389
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 3: is the week that people pour their hearts out to

390
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 3: help liberate slaves. I don't know what it is about

391
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: this particular week, but they literally have like ten times

392
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 3: and other people to say, Okay, I want to be involved,

393
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: And if you don't even know what I'm talking about,

394
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 3: then let me just point you to bring her home

395
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: dot org. Because what we're involved in right now is

396
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 3: an attempt to bring slaves out of captivity and into freedom,

397
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: back to their home country, giving them a life that

398
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 3: they have been robbed of for the past fifteen, twenty,

399
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: twenty five thirty years in some cases. In some cases,

400
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 3: these these little girls were just five six years old

401
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: when they were taken. They have been subjected to a

402
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: life of rabid abuse, just you know, unstoppable, unending every day.

403
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 3: And since the end of the civil war, the world

404
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 3: was very happy patting themselves on the back. We got

405
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 3: the North in Sudan and the South and Sudan to

406
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: stop fighting. And by the way, the South Sudan didn't

407
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: even had to become their own country to get the

408
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 3: North to leave them alone. They're Christians down there. They're

409
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 3: Arab Sunni Muslims in the North, and and they're mean

410
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 3: and they and they hate women, and they want to

411
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 3: subject them and do all kinds of horrific things to them.

412
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 6: But in this.

413
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 3: Opportunity, we can, through retrievers that are sent into the North,

414
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: not only locate the slaves, but negotiate their release and

415
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: then give them a bag of hope that starts their

416
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 3: life over. It's all of the things that they need

417
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 3: to begin their life over again. Food for a year,

418
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 3: seed for planning another year's worth of grain, blankets and tarps,

419
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 3: and other things to help with weather, utensils to cook

420
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 3: and clean and fish and garden with. They're given seed

421
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: and some other things to help grow, you know, food

422
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 3: that they need. And then they're given a she goat.

423
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: Every one of them receives one she goat that will

424
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 3: produce milk and cheese and other things for the for

425
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 3: the you know, freed slave over the course of time,

426
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 3: and what they end up doing is they start their

427
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 3: life over again. And those are all the tools that

428
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 3: they have to do it. And by the way, those

429
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: are the only possessions that many of them have ever

430
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 3: owned the thing that you give them in the bag

431
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 3: of hope. It's it's the only thing that's ever been theirs,

432
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: because they've been mistreated on every level. And I've got

433
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: a story of one in front of me. Her name

434
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 3: is Couole Kul. The last memory of her parents was

435
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 3: her father's murder, which carried out right before her eyes.

436
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: She was then separated from her mother and forced into slavery.

437
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 3: She never saw her mom again after that. The sexual,

438
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 3: emotional and physical abuse that this girl suffered was nothing

439
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 3: short of atrocious, literally horrific, the most excruciatingly horrific thing

440
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: you can imagine. She was mutilated genitally, She was raped repeatedly.

441
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 3: She was forced to get pregnant and bear three children

442
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 3: to her Islamic captors in her two and a half

443
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 3: decades of enslavement. She said, when she was finally freed,

444
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 3: she said, I cried every day and prayed that God

445
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 3: would hear. Today she is free. Christian Solidarity International liberated

446
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: her last year in fourteen hundred. Others. Friends, we're trying

447
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: to rate about two hundred and fifty before the end

448

Speaker 3: of the year, two hundred and fifty dollars freeze a person,

449

Speaker 3: about two hundred left to go to wipe off all

454
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: the names on the list. Would you help us? Ten

455
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: slaves could be free for twenty five hundred. I know

456
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 3: some of you can do that here at the end

457

00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 3: do look at trying to be practical and how we

469
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 3: help you with h with the you know, aspect of

470
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: your money, what you work hard for, what you try

471
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 3: to preserve and protect. If you're if you're a Biblical Christian,

472
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: you think about stewardship. You think about legacy, You think

473
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 3: about wanting to make sure you are able to pass

474
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 3: on that legacy. Uh, and not just for the purposes

475
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 3: of material you know, welfare being passed on from one

476
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: generation to another, but but legacy in terms of what

477
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: that can produce. I was with someone this weekend and

478
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: they said, one of the saddest things that they see

479
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 3: is how people, you know, just kind of get to

480
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 3: a stage in their life where they just walky, I'm

481
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 3: just gonna move to Florida, and then they say, Okay,

482
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: we moved to Florida, and now all their time once

483
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: they've retired is just like living in Florida. Well what

484
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 3: if what if we what if we repurposed things? And

485
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: yes we we we were able to take care of

486
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: our family, but we also were able to do even

487
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: more things for the kingdom. That's one of the things

488
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: that I hope we can help you and encourage you

489
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 3: to do now. But Lou Bassinese helps us with some

490
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: of the money stuff every Monday, and uh, Lou. A

491
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: lot going on in the in the financial world this

492
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 3: time of year, typically because people like to talk about,

493
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 3: you know, either the panic of the end of the

494
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: year or the opportunity of the year that year, and

495
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: it's usually like sell sell sell or bi like nuts

496
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 3: and probably both approaches aren't like really reasonable to end

497
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 3: the year with, and yet not at all.

498
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 4: This is the time of year that everyone likes to

499
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 4: be played no shra damas and make predictions about the future.

500
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: And we all know that none of us are good

501
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 4: at predicting, right, It's difficult. So I just my admonition

502
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 4: to everyone is don't get scared stock lists. I mean,

503
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 4: this is the time of year we're going to read

504
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 4: headlines telling you a recession imminent like we had last

505
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 4: year going into the start of this year, that stocks

506
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 4: aren't going to do that. Well, guess what, the SP

507
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 4: five hundred was up double the long term average return.

508
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 4: So I think as long as you've had a plan

509
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 4: and you've invested your assets, whether it's in your four

510
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 4: to one k at work or in your personal investment accounts,

511
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 4: and you know what that plan is, stick to that plan.

512
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 4: Because it worked out this year no matter what it was.

513
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 4: If you looked across small caps, biotech, technology, pretty much

514
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 4: everything has done really well this year, even European stocks

515
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 4: and emerging market stocks. So the encouragement is whatever you

516
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 4: did this year, take a look, it probably worked out well.

517
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 4: Just rebalance one time to sell some of the winners

518
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 4: and buy some of the losers, and that's the best

519
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 4: best moves you can make going into new year. Don't

520
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 4: give into any headlines you read.

521
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 3: I haven't had a chance to ask you about this,

522
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: but last week the FED went down only a quarter

523
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of people were hoping that

524
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: he would lower it a half. What was your feeling

525
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: on their ultimate decision and how do you think that

526
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 3: impacts what people are are looking to twenty twenty six

527
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 3: to kind of achieve.

528
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think he did the right thing by

529
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 4: only going a quarter when the Fed that's by it

530
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 4: more than a quarter point. If they cut by a

531
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 4: half point, that signals a lot of the stress in

532
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 4: the system. So you don't want to send the wrong signal.

533
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 4: I think everyone was looking for lower interest rates to

534
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 4: save the real estate market. That's not going to happen.

535
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 4: You need the lower prices to kind of get back

536
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: to equilibrium. But I think what's the biggest thing heading

537
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 4: into next year is whether or not we get more

538
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 4: than one interest rate cut, and that's all going to

539
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: depend on the labor market, so inflation has been kind

540
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 4: of capped that, you know, between two and three percent.

541
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 4: It does the job does the job market rollover? And

542
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 4: I think that's what the Fed's more focused on right now.

543
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 4: So I don't see any.

544
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 8: Signs of that.

545
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 4: I see some just normal kind of trimming in the

546
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 4: tech sector. Profitability is really good, margins are great, Earnings

547
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: growth is really strong. So all things that are a

548
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 4: harbinger of a good labor market are still on the

549
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 4: horizon like they were at the beginning of life.

550
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: Well, and I want to know, because I've heard this

551
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 3: being debated, should the FED be more focused on generally

552
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: making the markets more fluid and easier for people to

553
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: access and kind of use, or should it be more

554
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: concerned with the growth of employment and kind of how

555
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 3: they make their moves kind of you know, lends weight

556
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: to one side or the other.

557
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the FED has a dual mandate. They're supposed

558
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 4: to try and encourage full employment but also control inflation.

559
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 6: And you know what it is.

560
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 4: I mean, the Bible is very clear. It's that no

561
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: man can serve two masters. So the FED gets itself

562
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: in a pickle when it's trying to serve those two

563
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 4: masters between inflation and the labor market. Right now, they're

564
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 4: chosing the labor market, which I think is best for

565
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 4: everyone because if as long as wages start to increase,

566
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 4: and they have real wages have been increasing, we can

567
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: keep up with a little bit of inflation. When the

568
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 4: labor market's really cooling and people are losing their jobs

569
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 4: and ices are going up, that's a really bad scenario

570
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 4: that we want avoid as a country.

571
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: Well, and that's why I want to ask if we're

572
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 3: thinking about, you know, twenty twenty six, what we what

573
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 3: we want to see happen is obviously a continuing recovery

574
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 3: from kind of the bin era, but Big Beautiful hasn't

575
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 3: kicked in yet, and there's going to be a lot.

576
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 3: I think there's going to be a lot of economic

577
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 3: incentives by way of let's say, small business initiation and production,

578
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 3: by way of new businesses coming on board, by way

579
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 3: of larger businesses expansion. You know, I think there's the

580
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: way I read the legislation, it seems to me that

581
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 3: when we get into that zone, I'm not sure we

582
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 3: need the FED to do much more one way or

583
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: the other, because I think the incentives from coming from

584
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 3: all those other sectors are going to be what drives it.

585
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 4: Listen, we're going to start money Mondays with Kevin on

586
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 4: the big skinny because you know anything differently, Look, you're right,

587
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 4: the big beautiful Bill has not kicked in for corporations

588
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 4: or individuals, and I think you're going to start seeing

589
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 4: that in the new year, when everyone gets their first

590
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 4: paychecks and realizes that the tax burdens a little bit lighter.

591
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 4: When companies say, hey, it's the start of a new year,

592
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 4: where are we going to spend money? And we can

593
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 4: get an immediate deduction on certain expenses. So I think

594
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 4: you have a lot of things that are in the

595
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 4: works right now that will play themselves out so the

596
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 4: said can stand. Pat you've seen GDP growth, I mean,

597
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 4: it's been a long time since we've had north of

598
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 4: four percent GDP growth. I think that's on the table

599
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 4: for next year. If all of these things kick in

600
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 4: like we expect.

601
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 3: Well, it's certainly going to be one of those things

602
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 3: that we're going to have to pay very close attention to.

603
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 3: And I'm hopeful that you know, we're going to have

604
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 3: some other surprises popping up. Let's talk just briefly final

605
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 3: minute here on what you anticipate with AI between now

606
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 3: and you know, the first quarter next year.

607
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think what is still there's a day of

608
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 4: reckoning coming where people realize how big it's going to get.

609
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 4: I've been talking with a lot of AI CEOs and

610
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 4: different people connected to the industry using it from coding

611
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 4: to power infra structure, and I just don't think main

612
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 4: Street yet fully understands how big AI is going to

613
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 4: really improve society from drug development to productivity. But I

614
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 4: do think that's going to happen in the next year.

615
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 4: You're going to see use cases of AI that goes

616
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 4: beyond the chat GPTs and goes into things like new

617
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 4: drug discovery that cures almost incurable cancers. You're going to

618
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 4: see it in productivity in businesses that were old and

619
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 4: stodgy getting much more efficient. So I think the talk

620
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 4: of a bubble is premature, but it's always healthy to

621
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 4: kind of re evaluate and make sure the fundamentals are

622
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 4: still there. So again, ignore the headlines of an AI bubble,

623
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 4: but being on the lookout for headlines of new novel

624
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 4: uses of AI to really solve key solutions, not to

625
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 4: help people cheat on exams.

626
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,840

640
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 3: on education and what is happening in our country by

641
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 3: way of federal control of education and what would happen

642
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 3: if we if we just made the Department of Education disappear?

643
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 3: Did that sound like Kevin McAllister from Home Alone, I

644
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 3: made the Department of Education disappear? Well I didn't, but

645
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 3: President Trump has said that he would like to, and

646
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 3: it's interesting to see if that is possible, or could

647
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 3: be done, or would even be good to do. We'll

648
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: talk to Erica Donald's. She is the wife of Congressman

649
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 3: Byron Donalds, who is running for governor of Florida, and

650
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 3: I think I think she'll make a fantastic first Lady

651
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 3: of Florida. But aside from that, she's been an educational

652
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 3: advocate and expert for the last fifteen years, really kind

653
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: of out of a vacuum in her own life because

654
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 3: she was dissatisfied with all the educational options that were

655
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 3: out there, and she said, like any good mama does well,

656
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 3: if you're not gonna if you're not going to get

657
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 3: the job done, mom was going to do it. And

658
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: she ended up homeschooling for a good portion of it.

659
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 3: And the Donald's children are really really great, great kids,

660
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 3: smart and very successful in their pursuits. And I think

661
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 3: you're going to see why when we speak with Erica,

662
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 3: this will be the first time she'll be on the

663
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 3: New Show, and I look forward to having her. Then

664
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 3: a little bit later, Hillary Cramer will be back with

665
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 3: us to talk a little more money for your Monday

666
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 3: I do want to mention to you. Know, the world

667
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 3: often asks you to abandon your faith. They try to

668
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 3: tell you that it's a myth. But one of the

669
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 3: long term sponsors and partners of Salem Radio across the

670
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 3: country is Focused on the family. They strengthen faith and

671
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 3: encourage believers every single day. And this year you may

672
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 3: not have any clue that this could even be possible,

673
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 3: but this year two hundred and ninety two thousand people

674
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 3: wrote to say that Focus Ministry actually led them to

675
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 3: a relationship with Jesus Christ, and about nine hundred and

676
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 3: seventy almost one thousand families contacted Focus to just thank

677
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: them for strengthening their families walk with God, whether it's

678
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 3: the kids or the parents, or both or all of them.

679
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 3: And people like Ken, who has had to travel for

680
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 3: more than he'd like over the course of his work,

681
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 3: he says that Focuses programs are really his family's lifeline,

682
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 3: especially when he's gone keep helping to keep marriages grounded

683
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 3: in the Lord, and in his words, by leaps and bounds,

684
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 3: sounds like he's still in love with his bride. So

685
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 3: what it sounds like to me right now? Your year

686
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 3: in gift to focus on the family could help twice

687
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 3: the families through focus year in match provided by generous

688
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 3: friends in the ministry. Double your dollars and double year impact.

00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 3: as we speak. All right, We've got a lot yet

693
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 3: to get to and I don't want you to miss

694
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 3: out on anything, but I am going to come back

695
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 3: to at the beginning of the next hour a few

696
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 3: more thoughts on where we are with this islam the

697
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 3: Islamatization of the world. Is that a word, because it

698
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 3: seems like every time they move into a country and

699
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 3: we're seeing this, particularly like in think about the fraud

700
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 3: in Minnesota right now. That's an Islamic radical community that

701
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 3: has stolen millions of public monies. To what end and

702
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 3: to what a degree should we be concerned about the

703
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: rising tide of Islamization here in the US. We'll touch

704
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 3: on that next hour. Take a look of money, talk

705
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,160

725
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 3: give you a perspective that maybe has a little more

726
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 3: eternity to it.

727
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 4: I do.

728
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 3: I am in moments of great tragedy. I often find

729
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 3: that there are also moments of great inspiration. And when

730
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 3: I was hearing about the tragedy in Australia, yesterday, and

731
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 3: by the way, the tragedy at Brown University, there is

732
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 3: more video footage that they have released of that, and

733
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 3: if there is a possibility that someone can recognize the

734
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 3: person that they're looking for from that video, I have

735
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 3: to think that with all the cameras that we have,

736
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 3: in all of the ways of tracking things, that there's

737
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 3: got to be there's got to be a trail that

738
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 3: this this guy that shot the place up at Brown

739
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 3: is that they've got to find. There's got to be

740
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 3: a trail that they can latch onto him with. But

741
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 3: when I was looking at the stories regarding the Hanukah shooting,

742
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 3: it was obviously tragic. And as you understand that these

743
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 3: two guys, and of course the media, as I said

744
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 3: last hour, they weren't helpful. They weren't They didn't they

745
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 3: weren't trying to tell the truth. They were trying to

746
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 3: avoid criticism of Islam. But this is a father and son,

747
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 3: the son who was radicalized in Pakistan, and they have

748
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 3: connections to organizations that are deeply embedded with Iran. Iran

749
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 3: is a big part of the problem here, and Iran,

750
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 3: by the way, in associating itself with these types of attacks,

751
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 3: are not doing anything to make their lives any better.

752
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 3: We went and took out the nuclear program, but that's

753
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 3: not the only thing that we can take out. There

754
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 3: are other things that probably need to be taken out,

755
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 3: like the schools that teach them garbage. But the father

756
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 3: and son radical Islamists and the focus. Since they've lost

757
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 3: their nuclear program, Iran has been encouraging the the troops

758
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 3: out there, so to speak, to look for ways to

759
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 3: commit these types of atrocities on a on a more

760
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 3: embedded scale. And what's really concerning is that there was

761
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 3: a rabbi in Australia that told the government about a

762
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 3: month ago that there was some awareness that these style

763
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 3: of attacks were being set up. I don't know how

764
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 3: the rabbi knew. I haven't seen enough on that story

765
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 3: yet to really form an opinion, but if that's really,

766
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 3: if that's true, that that is devastating because we are

767
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 3: in a we are in a mode in a time

768
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 3: of history where the desire to cleanse the earth of Jews.

769
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 3: I've never seen it so omen in my life. But

770
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 3: as I'm doing the reading on the story yesterday, I

771
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 3: couldn't help but see that video that Fox put on

772
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 3: Instagram and it was circulated widely around a lot of

773
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 3: different places. Where an Australian immigrant who saw one of

774
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 3: the shooters doing what they did, wrestled the gun away

775
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 3: from one of them and did so even though he

776
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 3: ended up getting riddled with bullets himself, and he said

777
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 3: he would do it all over again. His lawyer said

778
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 3: to the Sydney Morning Herald, he doesn't regret what he did.

779
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 3: He said he'd do it again, he said, but the

780
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 3: pain has started to take a toll on him. Noted

781
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 3: Monday night, after visiting the wounded man, that he's not

782
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 3: at all well. He's riddled. He was riddled with bullets.

783
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 3: Our hero is struggling at the moment. The wounded father

784
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 3: has daughters who are five and six years old. But

785
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 3: the man did what he had to do because he

786
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 3: knew that innocent people were going to die if he didn't.

787
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 3: And we don't have we don't have that kind of

788
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 3: hero widely seen in a lot of places anymore. And

789
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 3: that's the kind of thing I want to I want

790
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: to lift up. When when the bullets start firing, do

791
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 3: you run to them or away from them? As men?

792
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 6: You just don't.

793
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 3: You just don't see that, and I was thinking just

794
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 3: this last week actually, because this weekend was a blessing

795
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 3: seven years ago. My second son, my middle and he's

796
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 3: different than his older brother, his older brother, the old oldest,

797
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 3: the firstborn. He's my math, science, chess Latin.

798
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 6: Guru.

799
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,240
Speaker 3: He says all things technical science, math, you know, precision,

800
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,919
Speaker 3: that's all him. And he's two and a half years

801
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 3: older than the middle child. And my middle is my Spielberg.

802
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 3: He's my narrator of life. He's the one that sees

803
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 3: a movie that could be made out of any story

804
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 3: from life. He's the one that's, you know, authored a

805
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 3: comic series at all of twelve years of age that

806
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 3: has like I don't know, fifteen, you know, editions of

807
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 3: it already out. But they both started on a path

808
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 3: a number of years ago with taekwondo that I didn't

809
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 3: do when I was a kid. I would have loved

810
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 3: to have taken martial arts when I was little, my

811
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 3: parents didn't really it wasn't that popular in the part

812
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 3: of the country where I grew up, and so it

813
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 3: was just one of those things I kind of tacitly

814
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 3: knew about, but I didn't really have any first hand

815
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 3: experience with any of it, but they've since they were

816
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 3: little able to do it. And my fifteen year old

817
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 3: has been a second degree going on third degree black

818
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 3: belt for a little more than a year. But my

819
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 3: twelve and a half year old, thirteen year old got

820
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 3: his first degree this weekend. And it's one of those

821
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 3: things where I'm sitting there with my head just being

822
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 3: flooded with memories and going back through the file of

823
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 3: all of the belt tests and all of the things

824
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 3: and all the stuff, and you ask yourself when you

825
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 3: go through this, you know, is it worth it. That's

826
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 3: a lot of time. It's a lot of time, you know.

827
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 3: It's a couple of classes a week, usually Saturdays is

828
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 3: one of them, and there's all this stuff that you

829
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 3: have to give to do it. But I walked away

830
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 3: going I saw them break a couple of boards, and

831
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 3: I walked away going, well, I know for a fact

832
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 3: that they have the skills to, when necessary, be courageous

833
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 3: in a moment where it would call for it. And

834
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 3: I want, I want to encourage the men of the

835
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 3: world to embrace Godly strength, strength that God has put

836
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 3: within them by nature, to be protectors and providers of

837
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 3: the loved ones and the lives that they're responsible for.

838
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 3: This is an unpopular thing that I'm saying that men

839
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 3: should be protecting their families. It is unpopular for me

840
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 3: to say that, but it is nevertheless the right thing

841
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 3: that men need to say to one another in generation, generationally,

842
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 3: down from one man to another. And I thought as

843
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 3: I saw that moment where that man raced across the street,

844
00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 3: confronted the gunmen necktackled in from behind, was able to

845
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 3: get the gun away from him, and even though he

846
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 3: still got shot a few times, he was able to

847
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 3: disarm the gunman and eventually one of the two terrorists

848
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 3: were killed in the in the battle. The friends, we

849
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 3: need more courage. Courage is the most important virtue. Courage

850
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 3: is will is the willingness to do what is right,

851
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 3: no matter the odds. And if we have more of

852
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 3: that in this world, this world is going to be

853
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:35,439
Speaker 3: a better and safer place. Period. End of sentence. Kevin

854
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 3: McCullough coming right back from New York. Stay here.

855
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 5: Here he is from New York. Kevin, Kevin McCullough. Welcome

856

Speaker 5: back to Times Squares. Is Kevin mccallaugh.

857
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 3: Aw ways, please to have you with us that Kevin Show,

858
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 3: that kevinshow dot com for everything, including listing of local

859
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 3: stations near you again the new radio footprint. We're in

860
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 3: places we weren't before, So thank you for joining us

861
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 3: here in this first month. One of my regular guests

862
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: here who comes from a couple of different perspectives to

863
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 3: this show, from America First Policy Institute as its education director,

864
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 3: but also as someone who I very much hope will

865
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 3: be the next First Lady of the State of Florida,

866
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 3: is Erica Donald's and Erica, it's good to have you

867
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 3: back and welcome to kind of the bigger, broader footprint

868
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 3: of what we're doing here. We may be introducing you

869
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 3: to a lot of new people today, which if so,

870
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 3: I'm very thankful for it. But for people that haven't

871
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 3: heard you with me before, your specialty is an education

872
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 3: and why is that? Why is that your passion?

873
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 9: Well, I started out just as a mom interested in

874
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 9: education like many moms for my own three boys, and

875
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 9: found out how broken the system is. I ended up

876
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 9: running for school board to try to fix it, and

877
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 9: found out even more how broken it is. So I've

878
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 9: been advocating for education policy at the state level and

879
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 9: nationally for about fifteen years now, trying to break the

880
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 9: education monopoly and give every family the education freedom they deserve.

881
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 3: One of the things we have talked about kind of

882
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 3: relentlessly in the last twenty four months has been the

883
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 3: future of the Department of Education. It feels like we're

884
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 3: about to have something big maybe happen or change there.

885
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 3: What would you like to see if, in fact the

886
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 3: administration says it's time for the Department of Education to

887
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 3: go away.

888
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 9: Well, President Trump promised numerous times on the campaign trail

889
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 9: that he was going to get rid of the federal

890
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 9: Department of Education, and within just a few months of

891
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 9: being in office, Secretary McMahon has done so much to

892
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 9: keep that promise on behalf of the president, eliminating half

893
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 9: of the employees and moving responsibilities off to other agencies,

894
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 9: most recently with interagency agreements, including a huge shift of

895
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 9: workforce related programs to the Department of Leader Labor makes

896
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 9: the most sense, that's where these education programs would belong,

897
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 9: But she's got a little bit more work to do.

898
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 9: Although we've made incredible progress.

899
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think a lot of people understand this

900
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 3: if they're new to the conversation, because when you say

901
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 3: you want to get rid of the Department of Education,

902
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 3: people that are on initiated say, well, why would you

903
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 3: want to do that? Education is a good thing. But

904
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 3: the truth is this is a department that's kind of

905
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 3: never had like a solid vision for what it's trying

906
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 3: to accomplish. The results have been worse for American students

907
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 3: every year it's been in existence, and it's a bloated

908
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 3: democracy that you've just pointed out probably should have Whatever

909
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 3: work is actually doing being done by departments that are

910
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 3: better able to handle it. Is that a fair summary

911
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 3: of where they're at.

912
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 9: Absolutely, people need to understand that the Federal Department of

913
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 9: Education has never educated a single child, and it's forty

914
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,240
Speaker 9: five years of existence, We've spent over three trillion dollars,

915
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 9: and academic performance has stagnated or declined. All it does

916
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 9: is push papers and funding down to the state level,

917
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 9: where the responsibility should lie for both academic performance and

918
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 9: the accountability for schools. Right now, the Federal Department of Education,

919
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 9: despite its massive bureaucracy, is not doing much of anything

920
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 9: to improve student outcomes or even ensure that students are

921
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 9: receiving the services that are promised by federal law, and

922
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 9: that's why the President and Secretary McMann want to return

923
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,240
Speaker 9: education to the states, to give responsibility to the states

924
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 9: and so that voters like me and you, moms and

925
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 9: dads know where they need to go to hold people

926
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 9: accountable if the education system is not serving their child.

927
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 3: Well, well, the truth is, and we kind of know

928
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 3: this instinctively, but the data bears it out. I believe

929
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 3: that the closer the voter is to the decision makers

930
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 3: in proximity geographically, actually the stronger the performance of whatever

931
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 3: department that it is. So if you need your garbage

932
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,760
Speaker 3: picked up in your local village, getting the federal government

933
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 3: to try to address that is really useless. Same thing

934
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 3: with education. Nobody knows what's going on in my district

935
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 3: except the parents that live here and the parents that

936
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,919
Speaker 3: are involved in the you know, going to the school

937
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 3: board meetings and having that role to play. If the

938
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 3: state is in charge of those of whatever funds are

939
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 3: available for public education, there's going to be more accountability

940
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 3: by the people who are their neighbors than there are

941
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 3: going to some you know, marble building in Washington, d C.

942
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 3: To try to get it straightened out.

943
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 9: We found this out during the common Core battle. If

944
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 9: those of who are paying attention at the time, remember

945
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 9: that's how I came to know where decisions were made.

946
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 9: I talked to my child's teacher. She said, I have

947
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 9: nothing to do with it. I don't even know what

948
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 9: this is. I talk to the principal, I talk to

949
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 9: the district I talk to the state representative, and they

950
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 9: all started pointing the finger to Washington and saying that

951
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 9: this is being made at the federal level. Then I

952
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 9: find out there's some carot and stick going on with

953
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 9: the federal Department of Education where they say, well, we're

954
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 9: not forcing them to change the curriculum to common Core,

955
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 9: but they were holding federal funds over their heads. Same

956
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 9: thing the Biden administration did when it came to transgender bathrooms.

957
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 9: They were using federal funding to force schools to allow

958
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 9: boys in women's sports and in women's locker rooms and bathrooms.

959
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 9: And this is what the Federal Department of Education has been,

960
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 9: simply a weaponization for the purpose of radical ideology.

961
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 3: That's why I really want people to understand that when

962
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 3: you hear the administration and you hear people like Erica

963
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 3: or me talk about defunding the Department of Education. It's

964
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 3: not because any of us want the students to learn less.

965
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 3: We're actually advocating for better education. And that brings me

966
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 3: to some more of these little known facts during COVID,

967
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 3: the Department of Education or the unions rather that they

968
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 3: seem to be in kind of lockstep with We're actually

969
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 3: the ones that wrote the education policy for Health and

970
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 3: Human Services in terms of how kids would proceed with

971
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 3: education during the pandemic, and we found out months years

972
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 3: later that none of the stuff that they were vexed

973
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 3: about had any impact on the kids exect negative ones.

974
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 3: And the one thing that it all guaranteed was that

975
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 3: teachers would get paid whether they taught or not during

976
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 3: that time.

977
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 9: That's right, And the Federal Department of Education, its origination

978
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 9: was as a gift to the teachers union, and it

979
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 9: has acted as a acsolidation of power at the federal

980
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 9: level where the teachers unions have one place to go

981
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 9: to influence and get their agenda across.

982
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 10: And of course we saw that during COVID. Now Randy Weingarten's.

983
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 9: Trying to rewrite history and act as if she was

984
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 9: advocating for schools to reopen when we know that she

985
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 9: helped to write the laws and the guidance at the

986
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 9: federal level that kept the schools closed, after also calling

987
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 9: it racist and misogynistic to try to open the schools.

988
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 9: So we need to take away that centralization of power

989
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 9: from the unions. We do want to make sure the

990
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 9: funding gets to the students, and President Trump and Secretary

991
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 9: McMann have promised that. But that means that the state

992
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 9: are going to be responsible to make sure that the

993
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 9: students are getting those services. No longer having to report

994
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 9: that up, but working with parents, working with schools and

995
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 9: school districts to ensure those services are met.

996
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 3: I think that that's all a positive move, especially for

997
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 3: the average student in America, but we still have a

998
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 3: lot of We still have a long way to go

999
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 3: in terms of getting students the education that they need.

1000
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 3: What are some of the what are some of the

1001
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 3: proactive steps besides the kind of dismantling of the Department

1002
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 3: of Education that you and AFPI are most concerned about

1003
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 3: and would like to see, you know, put forward going

1004
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 3: forward with this well, I believe a.

1005
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 9: Free market in education is really the solution to a

1006
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 9: lot of the ills in America. We have an education monopoly,

1007
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 9: monopoly and a cartel if you will, between the unions

1008
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 9: and the school boards that are controlling so much. We

1009
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 9: need parents to be consumers in them, to be in

1010
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 9: the driver's seat. The one big beautiful bill allowed for

1011
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 9: the first ever federal tax credit scholars program that will

1012
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 9: go into effect in twenty twenty seven and hopefully will

1013
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 9: be available in all states for families to take advantage,

1014
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 9: and for.

1015
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 3: People that don't know what it is, just take a

1016
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 3: half second to kind of flush that out so they

1017
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 3: understand it is.

1018
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 9: A dollar for dollar tax credit. Donors can make donations

1019
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 9: to scholarship funding organizations in every state, and those donations

1020
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 9: can then be used to give scholarships to students for

1021
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 9: private school fund homeschool curriculum, online programs, tutoring, and other

1022
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 9: special services. Federal tax credit scholarship. The information on how

1023
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 9: to donate and how to access those scholarships will be forthcoming,

1024
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 9: certainly from myself and from AFPI, but also many states

1025
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 9: are passing school choice reforms. Seventeen states and counting have

1026
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 9: universal programs that will allow families to actually purchase and

1027
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 9: customize curriculum and academic.

1028
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 10: Programs for their children. That's the future of education.

1029
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 9: Every parent, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, or independent, should

1030
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 9: support this, and in fact, polling shows over eighty percent

1031
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 9: of all parents and taxpayers are supportive of school choice measures.

1032
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 10: It's a huge jump from before COVID.

1033
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 3: Where we at you mentioned the transgender thing that Biden did,

1034
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 3: and he actually you were kind of nice in how

1035
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 3: you put it. They were actually willing to withhold breakfast

1036
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 3: from inner city poor kids if their same schools didn't

1037
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 3: insist upon boys being in the girls' bathrooms. I mean,

1038
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 3: that's that's kind of the full blown picture of what

1039
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 3: was going on there. It was so it was so

1040
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 3: in your face. President Trump did some executive orders, it

1041
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 3: looked like some positive things were happening, but there still

1042
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 3: seems to be a handful of holdout schools across the country.

1043
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 9: What should the repercussion for that be, Well, it is

1044
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 9: happening through the court and AFPI. Our legal team has

1045
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 9: really been active in defending students, especially young women, who

1046
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 9: are whose safety is being put in danger because of

1047
01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 9: these policies that have continued despite the executive orders of

1048
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 9: the president.

1049
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 10: We know California and other states have actually.

1050
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 9: Buked openly what the President has said in regards to

1051
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 9: receiving federal funds.

1052
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 10: So afpi's legal team is.

1053
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 9: Working on in the Department of Justice is also working

1054
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 9: on it. And as these cases work through the courts,

1055
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 9: and we believe we will be how successful in those

1056
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 9: we have already been successful in many of them, it

1057
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 9: will start to clamp down and ensure that those who

1058
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 9: remain trying to defend this horrible practice of endangering women

1059
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 9: are held accountable.

1060
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, We're gonna take a quick breaks.

1061
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 5: Is that Kevin Show, she's area McDonald's Kevin mckella coming

1062
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 5: to you sometimes here he is from New York, Kevin,

1063
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 5: Kevin mckella, Welcome back to Time Square, Kevin McCullough.

1064
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 3: Glad have you with us that Kevin Show? That kevinshow

1065
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 3: dot com for all things related to it. Erica Donalds

1066
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 3: is back with us from America First Policy Institute heading

1067
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 3: up their educational efforts, their educational reform, educational freedom. There's

1068
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 3: a lot of terms you're not used to hearing with education.

1069
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 3: We're trying to make that more in vogue. Actually, so

1070
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 3: Eric is doing a great job on that. Recently, there

1071
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 3: was a Wall Street Journal op ed that was published

1072
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 3: whose headline was college students who can't do elementary math.

1073
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 3: There's so many things wrong with even that headline in

1074
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 3: terms of what it says about where we're at with

1075
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 3: our educational results in this country. Erica, I don't know

1076
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 3: where to begin, But what do you make of a

1077
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 3: system that could actually end up with that being the

1078
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 3: result and somehow trying to argue that we're doing a

1079
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 3: good job.

1080
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 9: We've been hearing this from data and anecdotally for many

1081
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 9: years now, college professors saying that the students that they're

1082
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 9: getting are unprepared for that next level of education.

1083
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 10: More and more remedial classes.

1084
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 9: Are being required, about a third of students having to

1085
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 9: take some sort of remedial classes because they are not

1086
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 9: ready for college level work. In this case, it is

1087
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 9: astonishing the data that's coming out of you see San Diego.

1088
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 9: I mean eighty four I'm sorry, eighty seven percent. Only

1089
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 9: eighty seven percent of these college students could do first

1090
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 9: grade math.

1091
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 10: That means that thirteen percent of.

1092
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 9: Students who are accepted into UC San Diego cannot do

1093
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 9: first grade math.

1094
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 3: Wait. Wait, first grade is addition and subtraction.

1095
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 10: It's the most basic thing.

1096
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 9: So even if you wouldn't even expect one percent to

1097
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 9: fall into that category, but we're talking about thirteen percent.

1098
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 9: And they actually did this data for every year of

1099
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 9: math to the point where seventy four percent. That means

1100
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 9: every one out of every four students that U see

1101
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 9: San Diego cannot do third grade math. Okay, it is

1102
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 9: an absolute crisis, but this is not unique to you

1103
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 9: see San Diego. It's great that we have this data

1104
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 9: to put some numbers on it, but we have seen

1105
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 9: this hap across the country. It's no wonder our students

1106
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 9: are unprepared for the workplace and the demands that the

1107
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 9: American economy has. We are failing them in K to

1108
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 9: twelve education. We see it in the name scores, and

1109
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 9: we see it now in the college going preparedness by

1110
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 9: this very data.

1111
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 3: I am scared to ask this, but I'm going to

1112
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 3: ask it anyway. What's the percentage because I have a

1113
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 3: fifteen year old who's a sophomore right now, what's the

1114
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 3: percentage of people that could functionally do twelfth grade senior

1115
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 3: level math high school in college? In this study? What

1116
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 3: they doing up the data.

1117
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 9: They provided to us that I have at my fingertips

1118
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 9: goes up to eighth grade.

1119
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 3: Okay, is even more warty though if.

1120
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 9: You extrapolate it, so in eighth eighth grade math, only

1121
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 9: nineteen percent of those college students could do eighth grade math.

1122
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 9: Just set that in for so and we're being told

1123
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 9: that these high schoolers when they receive a diploma, that

1124
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 9: they they are graduating with high school level math skills,

1125
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 9: college and career readiness. We test our students generally in

1126
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 9: the tenth grade for tenth grade math skills to pass

1127
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:11,439
Speaker 9: them along.

1128
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 10: So what does that tell you? We have watered down

1129
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 10: the requirement so much.

1130
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 9: Think you can have kids graduating and getting into college

1131
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 9: who aren't even capable of doing elementary math Erica.

1132
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 3: That's one of the most frightening things you ever talked

1133
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 3: about on my show.

1134
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 9: And this is a national crisis in reading and in math.

1135
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 9: We've talked about many times on your show how only

1136
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 9: one in three students are reading proficiently in this country.

1137
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 9: And it's astonishing that it has gone on for this

1138
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 9: long and we haven't seen wholesale reforms in the way

1139
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 9: that we educate our children. But that is why, as

1140
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,920
Speaker 9: we talked about in the last segment, education freedom and

1141
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 9: a free marketplace in the education sector has to be

1142
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 9: the solution here. We cannot trust the government monopoly to

1143
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 9: continue you this level of watering down, congratulating themselves, increasing

1144
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 9: graduation rates, while yet these students do not have the

1145
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 9: skills and knowledge necessary to achieve the American dream.

1146
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 10: And you could say that, you know, this is California.

1147
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 9: They're distracted with the radical ideology that they're teaching in schools.

1148
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 3: And that correlation isn't necessarily causation, but they sure seem

1149
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 3: to go hand in hand sometime.

1150
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 10: And I'm sure it is true, but it's not unique

1151
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 10: to California.

1152
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 9: And we've seen this even in Red states where where

1153
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 9: teachers are so distracted with social emotional learning, with ideology

1154
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 9: in the classroom, and really with poor pedagogy that has

1155
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 9: been taught in schools of education for decades now. And

1156
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 9: it has to be reformed in a major way if

1157
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 9: we are going to see changes to these types of

1158
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 9: data that are coming out of our colleges and universities.

1159
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 9: We can no longer accept the status quo. We've seen

1160
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 9: so much information that has showed us what a failure

1161
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 9: it is. Why are we still trying to reform a

1162
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 9: system that refuses to reform itself.

1163
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 3: That is a very good question, Erica. We're on more

1164
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 3: stations than we've ever been on before, We're talking to

1165
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 3: more people than we've ever talked to before. Right now

1166
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 3: you have their ear. What do you want in this

1167
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 3: last sixty seconds to have everybody that's listening go and

1168
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 3: do Is there an action point that they can take

1169
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 3: to get more involved to help begin to impact this

1170
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 3: situation and make a difference.

1171
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 9: Yes, Well, first of all, follow me at Erica Donald's

1172
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 9: I'm always putting information out there so you know exactly

1173
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 9: what's going on in education in this country, as well

1174
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 9: as action items as they come about, whether it's individual

1175
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 9: states that are passing school choice or now the federal

1176
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 9: school choice policy and rulemaking that we're going to be

1177
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 9: going through over the next few months. So please follow

1178
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 9: me and take action as it comes up, and I'll

1179
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 9: let you know what to do for that. But most

1180
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 9: of all, I want you to advocate for education freedom

1181
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 9: to your friends and neighbors.

1182
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 10: Every single family deserves to choose where their.

1183
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 9: Child goes too, how they're educated, who educates theman, by

1184
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 9: what value system they're being educated.

1185
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 10: We can no longer accept the government telling us who.

1186
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 9: And how our children will be educated and going forward,

1187
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 9: we have to punish them, frankly for doing what they

1188
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 9: have done to this country and creating this.

1189
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 10: National crisis in education and academic performance. It will no

1190
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 10: longer be acceptable.

1191
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 9: We will get rid of the federal Department of Education

1192
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 9: and we will give every family education.

1193
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 3: For you, doctor Griffon, Donald's appreciate you so.

1194
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,480
Speaker 9: Much, thanks for being Thank you so much, and congratulations

1195
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 9: on the expanded footprint that.

1196
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:34,839
Speaker 10: Is so well deserved.

1197
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:35,640
Speaker 6: Thank you, Eric.

1198
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 3: Having mkella coming back from Times Square, don't go.

1199
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 6: Away here he is from New York.

1200
01:08:52,960 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 3: That Kevin, Kevin mckella, welcome back. Eight eight eight six

1201
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 3: nine two seven two three four eight eight eight six

1202
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 3: nine two seven two three four is the number you

1203
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 3: can always speak with me on control room.

1204
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 6: Do we have Hillary?

1205
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 3: She was waiting for our call. I just wanted to

1206
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 3: make sure we were connected there. I got an panic

1207
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,680
Speaker 3: textrum her just a second ago, saying no one's called me.

1208
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 3: Because what we like to do in this section of

1209
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 3: the show every week is to take the time to

1210
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:33,599
Speaker 3: help you understand, you know how you can best protect

1211
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 3: and grow the financial legacy that you have worked hard

1212
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,640
Speaker 3: to try to provide for the family that God has

1213
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 3: given you. And as you are living your life trying

1214
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 3: to be a good steward, trying to be responsible, trying

1215
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 3: to honor Him in what it means to be faithful

1216
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 3: with the finances. We have pulled in some experts Lu

1217
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 3: Basinie and Hillary Kramer to help us with that, and

1218
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 3: Hillary joins us. Now, Hillary, what the the the end

1219
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 3: of the year? And I was mentioning this with Lou

1220
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,560
Speaker 3: last hour. The end of the year always seems to

1221
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 3: be either a panic or a let's go crazy kind

1222
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 3: of time of investment. That neither neither of which are

1223
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 3: your temperament. You like to be very specific, targeted, precise,

1224
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 3: seek out the sometimes unloved things that need a little

1225
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 3: bit of love again and and and blossom into beautiful things.

1226
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 3: But what are your thoughts as we're as we're into

1227
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 3: kind of the final big stretch here before the final

1228
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 3: two holidays? What are you thinking is going to happen?

1229
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 3: And how are you telling your readers to prepare for

1230
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 3: the end of the year.

1231
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 8: Get ready for our entire new stable of stocks to

1232
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 8: come into the forefront of popularity. And these are going

1233
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 8: to be tomorrow's companies that could end up being you know,

1234
01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 8: the ten winners with Talenteer and we had with Nvidia.

1235
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 8: They are coming and they are on their way. It's

1236
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,640
Speaker 8: just that we never, really we want to look backwards.

1237
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 8: But when we look forward and try to take with

1238
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 8: us our our imprinted prejudices about what companies are going

1239
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:19,719
Speaker 8: to do well, it never works that way. So, however,

1240
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 8: there is one company you might want to be thinking

1241
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 8: about buying, Intel I NTC in the new year.

1242
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 6: Now.

1243
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 8: Intel is a market cap of one hundred and seventy

1244
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 8: nine billion dollars. Intel has the chips that are going

1245
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 8: into AI data centers, that are going into laptop computers,

1246
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 8: that are going to handheld devices. Intel has been around

1247
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 8: for a long time. And when you're talking about one

1248
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 8: hundred and seventy nine billion market cap, let's put it

1249
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 8: this way. Some of their competitives. Competitors have three trillion

1250
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 8: dollar market caps, Okay, like one hundred times bigger market caps.

1251
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 8: So really look at the companies that have outside because

1252
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 8: all those money managers out there, they want to make money.

1253
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 8: So to make money, that's what they have to do. Now,

1254
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 8: another one that you want to think about, I never

1255
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 8: bring up to anybody, but I do love it. You

1256
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 8: do have a four point four percent of it a yield,

1257
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 8: and that is Ford. I think Ford is a great company.

1258
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,839
Speaker 8: Of the market cap is only fifty four billion dollars

1259
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 8: and something has to happen when our Tesla buys them,

1260
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 8: or whether there's some mergers or whatever it might be.

1261
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 8: You know, the average car out there on the road

1262
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 8: is over fifteen and a half years old. Passenger car

1263
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 8: fourteen point eight years is just the average vehicle that's

1264
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 8: on the road. So Ford could be doing pretty well.

1265
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:49,640
Speaker 8: And they have some very good merchandising out there. They

1266
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,600
Speaker 8: have a little truck called the Maverick. I don't know

1267
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 8: if anyone has noted the the Maverick, but it's a

1268
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 8: hot little commodity right now. So I think they said

1269
01:12:58,040 --> 01:12:59,439
Speaker 8: you should all be thinking about that.

1270
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a follow up on Ford, because

1271
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 3: with Trump lowering the cafe standards last week from fifty

1272
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 3: miles per gallon by twenty thirty to thirty four miles

1273
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 3: per gallon, what what I felt happened was the entire

1274
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 3: traditional gasoline auto sector went wo and they like, we

1275
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 3: don't have to make the all ev F one fifties anymore,

1276
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,480
Speaker 3: that no one was buying exactly.

1277
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 8: And that's that's why it's all about timing. And that's

1278
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 8: why you can't just be an investor in a closet,

1279
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,799
Speaker 8: you know, in a bottle coming up with great numbers.

1280
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:35,600
Speaker 8: You didn't know what's going out there. You didn't know

1281
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 8: the macro, which is what's happening in legislation, what's happening

1282
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 8: in trends, Yeah, what's happening in you know, new rules

1283
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 8: that are coming down the pike. Who's in power right now?

1284
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 8: Things like that. So I do I do like that

1285
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 8: very much. I think Zebra ZBR is going to see

1286
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 8: its time in the sun. Come back up, Zebra. If

1287
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 8: you look at a char you will see, you know,

1288
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 8: at two hundred and sixty seven dollars. It seems like

1289
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 8: it's like one big company. But it seemed much better days.

1290
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 8: But Zebra because it does all of the codes, all

1291
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 8: the coding, the bar coding that are on all of

1292
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 8: your items. And Zebra is able to put bar codes

1293
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,560
Speaker 8: of a much smaller type all the way down to

1294
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:23,759
Speaker 8: the cows. So when you go and you need a steak,

1295
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,679
Speaker 8: you know, who have that cow? Where that cow was born?

1296
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 8: Who those cows grandparents were pretty amazing the way it works,

1297
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 8: and we're going to see a lot more of that

1298
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 8: because rather than remember what are we doing, we're lean

1299
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 8: and we're making our government lean. One of the way

1300
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 8: they're going to get lean is by using technology. Rather

1301
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 8: than having field officers out there, they're going to have

1302
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 8: companies like Zebra. They can trace the origins of anything

1303
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 8: that you put in your mouth. Those zb R could

1304
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 8: be one that could easily be a double. Now you

1305
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 8: also know that I've been watching Newell brands NWL. I'm

1306
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 8: the didn't you ask anyone you know this? Kevin, I'm

1307
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 8: the stock whisperer. I always know. Now Newell having seven

1308
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 8: and a half percent dividing yields, And what I love

1309
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 8: about Newell is that I love Sharpies, and Newell makes Sharpie.

1310
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 8: That makes Paperman, and it makes Coleman, and it makes

1311
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 8: Haggy Candle and has all these incredible brands. But the

1312
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 8: stock keeps slipping and the shares are only one point

1313
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 8: five billion dollar market cap. So what I'm expecting is

1314
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 8: that this seven and a half percent divting yielding company

1315
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 8: that has one point five billion dollar market cap, which

1316
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 8: is like nothing that's like pennies compared to everyone else.

1317
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 8: But see a company come in and buy that, But

1318
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 8: see could see a company come in and buy it

1319
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 8: at ten bucks easily.

1320
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 3: Okay, let's review what we went over today. Newell, NWL, Zebra,

1321
01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 3: Zbra Ford, you know how that's spelled, and Intel I

1322
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 3: NTC Hillary's picks for this week and Hillary twenty seconds.

1323
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 3: Were you satisfied with palace cut at a quarter point

1324
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 3: or did you want to see a full half point?

1325
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 8: I think we need a full half point because anytime

1326
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 8: we've ever seen rock come market crash is because interest

1327
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 8: rates have risen. We got to get those interest rates down, all.

1328
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:21,720
Speaker 6: Right down down down.

1329
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:25,320
Speaker 3: It makes it makes the money a little less. Thank you,

1330
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 3: Thank you Hillary. All Right, my final thoughts for the

1331
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,799
Speaker 3: for this crazy Monday. When we come back, don't go anywhere.

1332
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 3: It's that Kevin Show from New York. Welcome back. It's

1333
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 3: that Kevin Show, that Kevinshow dot com. And as we

1334
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 3: put a bow on today's show, I want us slow

1335
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 3: the room down for just a little bit because today

1336
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 3: wasn't just another news cycle. It wasn't just another list

1337
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 3: of headlines, guests, talking points. Today was about something deeper

1338
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 3: and frankly more sobering to me. We opened with very

1339
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 3: hard truth today, the kind that doesn't fit neatly into

1340
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 3: sound bites, the kind that reminds us that evil still

1341
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:23,919
Speaker 3: has a theology, hatred still has a source, and pretending

1342
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:29,040
Speaker 3: otherwise doesn't make anyone safer. People are being radicalized, Jews

1343
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 3: are being targeted, and people are being killed, and the

1344
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 3: free world doesn't get to look away simply because the

1345
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 3: truth is uncomfortable. That is the world we're living in.

1346
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 3: And yet into that world we also find that John

1347
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 3: chapter eleven instructs us. We talked to Pastor Dave Stone

1348
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 3: about Jesus who waits, Jesus who loves deeply and delays intentionally,

1349
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 3: and the secret in verse five tells us everything. Jesus

1350
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:56,799
Speaker 3: loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So he stayed

1351
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 3: it's going to be an interesting week with Pastor Dave

1352
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 3: all I had I just beg you to stay with

1353
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 3: us because this story of Lazarus is going to unfold

1354
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 3: pretty remarkably. We talked with him about how love doesn't rush,

1355
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 3: and love always trusts the Father. That matters because some

1356
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 3: of you listening right now are living in the delay,

1357
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 3: you're praying, you're waiting, you're wondering why God hasn't moved

1358
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 3: just yet. And today's reminder is this delay is not absence,

1359
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 3: Silence is not indifference, and love is often doing something

1360
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 3: far greater than what we can see. We also talked

1361
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:41,719
Speaker 3: about stewardship. Lou Bassinese and Hillary Kramer talked about money

1362
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 3: not as a scoreboard, but as a tool, not for indulgence,

1363
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 3: but for impact, not just for today, but for generations,

1364
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 3: because in a world that's shaking, faithful stewardship is one

1365
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 3: of the quiet ways we push back against the chaos.

1366
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 3: And then there was Eric Adonald's. She warned us clearly

1367
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 3: and unapologetically that education is failing our kids. It's not

1368
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 3: on accident, it's systemic. And if parents in churches and

1369
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 3: communities don't re engage, we're gonna lose more than test scores.

1370
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 3: We're gonna lose a generation's moral compass and friends, those

1371
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 3: of us in the New York area, maybe more than that.

1372
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 3: So here's the through line for today. The world is darker,

1373
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:34,760
Speaker 3: the stakes are higher, the lies are louder, But in

1374
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:43,799
Speaker 3: the end, truth still matters. Faith still anchors Stewardship still builds,

1375
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 3: education still shapes souls. And here's the best one of all.

1376
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 3: God is still at work, whether we think he is

1377
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 3: or not, whether we see him with our eyes, do

1378
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 3: what we want him to do, do or not, He

1379
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 3: is at work even when he waits. So don't numb out,

1380
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 3: don't look away, don't surrender ground that you were never

1381
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 3: meant to give up. Stay awake, stay faithful, stay courageous.

1382
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 3: It's the most important virtue. And remember resurrection always follows delay.

1383
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,600
Speaker 3: As we will see this week as we answer the

1384
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 3: question how do we live? You want anything related to
