Seven hundred WLW. 30 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 3: Were a few minutes away from our chat with Senator 31 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 3: Rand Paul from Washington, DC, and he is standing by 32 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 3: right now. Senator, good morning, hope you're well today. 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 5: Good morning, Thanks for having. 34 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: Me absolutely, I always like having you here. Hey. 35 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: First of all, look, I don't want to get into 36 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: you know, are your feelings hurt, whatever the case might be, 37 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 3: But I do want to ask you about not being 38 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 3: invited to the lunch yesterday with other senators at the 39 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 3: White House with President Trump. I mean, it seems to 40 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 3: me that you can have disagreements inside of a party. 41 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 3: It's one thing to disagree with the other party, but 42 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 3: you can have disagreements inside your own party yet still 43 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: let all the voices be heard. I thought that was 44 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: a mistake on his part. I assume maybe you feel 45 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: the same way or no. 46 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 5: Well, I try not to take it too seriously. There 47 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 5: are you know, people can be petty here and there, 48 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 5: and you know, I could care less whether I'm invited in. 49 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: The lunch or not. 50 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 5: But what I do think is that I'm on their mind. 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 5: And that's a good thing because the things that I 52 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 5: represent are basically balancing the budget, reducing spending, making government 53 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 5: small and constitutional. And I stick to my guns on that. 54 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 5: So when Republicans propose a spending bill, it'll be two 55 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 5: trillion in debt, which is going on right now, I 56 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 5: oppose it. Democrats have proposed a spending bill, it would 57 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 5: be retrly an in debt. I post that also, But 58 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 5: there needs to be some part of the Republican Party 59 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 5: that is still fiscally conservative, consistent and sticks to its principles. 60 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 5: And so the thing is is I am on their mind. 61 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 5: And the president, you know, may have thought it was 62 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 5: kind of funny that I wasn't invited, But the other 63 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 5: thing is is he's having to think about me. And 64 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 5: when we posted that, Thomas Massey and I were having 65 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 5: lunch instead, we had two million people view that posting. 66 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 5: So there is a constituency still out there for fiscal 67 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 5: conservatism and I'm going to continue to try to represent that. 68 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: Okay, But I got to ask you, knowing what you 69 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: just said that the Democrat spending would be three million. 70 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 3: The Republicans, I think you said two million, Why did 71 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: you vote again, I'm sorry, why did you vote against 72 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: just a clean CR on this deal? 73 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 5: The clean CR are the Biden spending levels basically, so 74 00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 5: last December, the CR levels continuing resolution spending levels were 75 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 5: set and these were the Biden levels. And you remember 76 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 5: Republicans complaining, I evan in the election about Biden nomics, 77 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 5: Biden inflation, Biden spending. Most Conservatives voted against these spending 78 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 5: levels last December. Come March, Republicans were in charge. Trump 79 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 5: was in the White House. Then the Republicans, most of 80 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 5: them other than me, flipped and voted for it. The 81 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 5: interesting thing now is the Biden spending levels are now 82 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 5: the Republican CR. All the Democrats voted for this in 83 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 5: December of twenty four also, but now they've flipped. So 84 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 5: it's kind of only in Washington. Can you imagine that 85 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 5: all the Republicans now support other than me support the 86 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 5: Biden spending levels, and all the Democrats are opposed to 87 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 5: the Biden spending levels. So it's a crazy topsy turvy world. 88 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 5: But there has to be someone who's consistent in all. 89 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: Of this mess. 90 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 5: So I voted against the Republican plan because they're the 91 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 5: Biden spending levels and it will lead to a two 92 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 5: trillion dollars deficit this year and that's just untenable. 93 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: Well, with that in mind, though, with the CR and look, 94 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 3: you've forgotten more of this stuff than I'll ever know. 95 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 3: But wouldn't a c R, though, Senator Rand Paul wouldn't 96 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 3: at least give you the chance to negotiate through some 97 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 3: of this stuff. 98 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 5: Well, now is the time to negotiate. And the thing 99 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 5: is is I put forward a proposal. They voted on 100 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 5: my proposal two weeks ago, not because they wanted to, 101 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 5: but because I forced them to, because it's a privileged 102 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 5: vote vehicle, because neither party put forward a budget. So 103 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 5: I put forward mind the Penny plan about three weeks ago, 104 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 5: and we did get a vote, and we got about 105 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 5: thirty six Republicans, so that's not bad. We've got no Democrats, 106 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 5: but it illustrates that there is a solution. My Penny 107 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 5: plan would balance the budget over about a five year period. 108 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 5: That's what we need to be doing, and that's what 109 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 5: I'm going to continue to be for. And I just 110 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 5: don't feel like, you know, taking a backstop of two 111 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 5: trillion dollars in new debt next year. I mean, the 112 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 5: interest payment now alone is a trillion dollars, and I 113 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 5: think it's untenable. And I think our country is at 114 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 5: risk because of this. So I don't treat this lightly. 115 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 5: I don't treat this as ooh, you know, I'm going 116 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 5: to be petulant vote against both. I treat this as 117 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 5: sort of life and death with the nation, that we 118 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 5: just cannot keep adding two trillion dollars every year in debt. 119 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: Is there any resolution in sight for this government shut down? 120 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 5: I think it's going to eventually end, either this week 121 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 5: or next. And here's the reasoning. The Democrats. These are 122 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 5: Democrats spending levels, These are the Biden spending levels, now 123 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 5: called the Republican z are. They all voted for it 124 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 5: last year in December. They're eventually all going to vote 125 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 5: for it this time. What happened is their base, their 126 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 5: left wing base, the socialist base, of the Democrat Party 127 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 5: decided they wanted more. They didn't want just the Biden 128 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 5: spending levels. They also wanted these add on Obamacare subsidies. 129 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 5: It's important that your listeners know what the Democrats. 130 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 6: Are asking for. 131 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 5: The add on Obamacare subsidies give one thousand dollars to 132 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 5: somebody who makes two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. So, 133 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 5: if you make two undred twenty five thousand dollars a year, 134 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 5: the Obamacare subsease, the add on subsease give you one 135 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 5: thousand dollars a year. If you make one hundred and 136 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 5: seventy thousand dollars a year, the Obamacare add on gives 137 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 5: you thirty six hundred dollars a year. So this is insane. 138 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 5: We're two trillion dollars short, and I think you're pretty 139 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 5: well off if you make one hundred and seventy thousand, 140 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,119 Speaker 5: If you make two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars, 141 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 5: and you shouldn't get any government money. So I really 142 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 5: think we're gonna end up winning this argument because giving 143 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 5: rich people money for health insurance that passes on to 144 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 5: billion dollar you know, multi billion dollar insurance companies. The 145 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 5: only people that have gotten rich off. You know, the 146 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 5: rich get richer, and the insurance. 147 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: Companies get rich. 148 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's a terrible situation. I think the Democrats 149 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 5: will eventually fold on. 150 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: This another topic, I'm kind of curious. Bear with me 151 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 3: for a second. Why try at least to draw this 152 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 3: sort of comparison. You have come out, you have come 153 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: out sternly against some of these bombings, for lack of 154 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 3: a better term, of some of these boats that are 155 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: blowing getting blown up by our military that are trying 156 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: to bring drugs into the country. 157 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: You know, I was singing about this last night. 158 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 3: Tell me if I'm just completely mad about this, right, 159 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 3: I look at this kind of like, Okay, what if 160 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 3: somebody is trying to bring something deadly into my house 161 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: and to hurt my family. I don't care what their 162 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 3: rights are if they come in to try to bring 163 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 3: something that would be deadly to my family, I'm going 164 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 3: to do everything I can to protect my family from 165 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 3: being hurt by whatever it is they're bringing in. What 166 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 3: is the difference between that and again, if you tell 167 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 3: me I'm crazy, I get it. What's the difference between 168 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 3: that and these boats bringing drugs into our country that 169 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 3: we know are going to kill people in this country. 170 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 3: Why are we worried about their rights? 171 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 5: The main difference is this, when someone comes into your 172 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 5: house or tries to break into your house alleged to 173 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 5: be doing it, you actually see them when you shoot 174 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 5: them as they come in the door trying to kill you. 175 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 5: So the difference is with these boats is there's a 176 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 5: word called alleged. You don't know who these people are. 177 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 5: We don't know their name, we don't have any evidence. 178 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 5: They're presenting, no evidence even have drugs. They're not all Venezuela, 179 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 5: and some of them are Colombian, some are Ecuadorian. Think 180 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 5: about this. We bombed a boat the other day, killed 181 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 5: a bunch of them, found two of them swinging in 182 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 5: the water. Did we pick up the debris and put 183 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 5: it into a court case against them for drugs now 184 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 5: that we found them floating in the water. None, We 185 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 5: just send them back to Colombian Ecuador. Doesn't it seem 186 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 5: bizarre if they really are in the drug trade, that 187 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 5: we wouldn't prosecute the very people that we blow up 188 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 5: with these missiles. So the thing is there is a 189 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 5: difference in our country. So if someone breaks into your house, 190 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 5: you have the right to shoot them. But if someone 191 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 5: you know committed an assault and you think that they 192 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 5: live across you know, three streets over, you can't go 193 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 5: over there and just shoot them or blow. 194 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: Their house up. 195 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 5: That's a difference. I mean, so if you're at sea, 196 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 5: if the coast guard is at sea and they say 197 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 5: to a boat, halt stop, we're going to search you 198 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 5: for contraband or for drugs. If they don't they run away, 199 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 5: the coastguard has the right to pursue them, has the 200 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 5: right to shoot at them to disable them, and if 201 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 5: they fire deadly shots of the coastguard, the coastguard can 202 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 5: sink them. This has been the rules of engagement for 203 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 5: probably a couple of hundred years. The coastguard can use 204 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 5: deadly force, but there's an escalation of the rules on this. 205 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 5: The reasoning is this, when the coast guard finally boards 206 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 5: the ships off of Miami, twenty five percent of those 207 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 5: suspective having drugs have no drugs on board. 208 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 6: So if we're wrong. 209 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 5: Twenty five percent of the time, would it be okay 210 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 5: to blow people up? These are human beings, for goodness egs. 211 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 5: I mean, what if it's you know, an eighteen year 212 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 5: old fisherman who they've kidnapped his sister and that he's 213 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 5: being made to do this or his sister's going to 214 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 5: be raped or guild. So there's a lot of if 215 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 5: sam's or butts about this that should be explored. And 216 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 5: none of these drugs are at all likelihood even coming 217 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 5: to America. This is an outboard vote two thousand miles away. 218 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 5: These drugs, if there are drugs, because it's still alleged, 219 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 5: are going to Trinidad and Tobago. This is a drug 220 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 5: trade to the Lower Antilles, the lesser Antillies. These boats 221 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 5: have no means. It would take twenty tanks of gas. 222 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 5: You'd have to stop and fill up twenty times on 223 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 5: an outboard motor to get all the way United States 224 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 5: from there. So they're not even presenting evidence of who 225 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 5: the people are, whether they have drugs. But they're also 226 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 5: not presenting evidence of these boats two thousand miles away 227 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 5: have any intention of coming to America. 228 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 3: Hey, last thing I wanted to ask you about, and 229 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: this is way off topic here, but you know, depending 230 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 3: on what happens here in the next couple of weeks, 231 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 3: there is a chance that the largest city in America 232 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 3: is going to basically vote in certainly a socialist, if 233 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 3: not an outright communist to be the mayor of New 234 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: York City. In your wildest means, could you have ever 235 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 3: imagined that might happen in this country. 236 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 5: No, and it's hard to believe it is, and it 237 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 5: does happen. There's been a huge exodus from New York 238 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 5: and particularly New York City. A lot of the means 239 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 5: in capital, you know, it was the greatest financial city 240 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 5: in the world, have been leaving for years. But I 241 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 5: think there'll be a mass accidents, and what you'll be 242 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 5: left with is no financial engine and just a poverty 243 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 5: and what comes from socialism. So no, it's a disaster 244 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 5: that's unfolding in slow motion hopefully that people will see. 245 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 5: But you know, there's not a whole lot of choices. 246 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 5: I mean, you can vote for the corrupt Cuomo or 247 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 5: mom Domi, but there also is another choice. I'd vote 248 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 5: frankly for the Republican. I think Curtis Lee what would 249 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 5: bring law in order to the place and would be great. 250 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 5: He's just not polling high enough because there's not enough 251 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 5: Republicans right now. But he's the best choice, all right. 252 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 3: Sender Rand Paul can't thank you enough for your time 253 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 3: as always, and we'll look forward to catching up with 254 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 3: you again sometime soon. 255 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 6: Thank you all right. 256 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: Senator Ram Paul from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. 257 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: Is becoming a semi regular on this show. 258 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 3: We like having them on and we always like chucking 259 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: in with chucking in with checking in with chuck Ingram. 260 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: That was close.

But as a lot of the 330 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 3: people who have reviewed this book have said, said, look, 331 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 3: it brings in so many whether you are of the 332 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 3: convinced or unconvinced about God's wisdom on economics, you can, 333 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 3: and we can, as both individuals, as companies and nations, 334 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 3: learn more about economics and specifically godenomics. I asked you 335 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 3: last week for those that missed it, do you believe 336 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 3: God is a capitalist? 337 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 6: Well, so, the main idea of god nomics is capitalism 338 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 6: is a good idea. It's not just a good idea, 339 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 6: it's God's idea. And you know, I got to be 340 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 6: careful to isms. You know all the isms, Marxisms, socialism, 341 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 6: and communism, and they have one thing in common in 342 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 6: contrast to Appolism, and that is they're trying to abolish 343 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 6: private property. And so when I defied godonomics, I say, well, 344 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 6: starts with property rights, right, because we're more responsible with 345 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 6: our stuff. You can't give away stuff that's not yours. 346 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 6: If you're going to be generous, you have to own 347 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 6: stuff to give it away. And the Bible affirms that 348 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 6: twenty percent of ten Commandments is about property rights. You'll 349 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 6: steal people's stuff, they'll be jealous of people's stuff. As 350 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 6: a woman in Proverbs a real successful business woman, So 351 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 6: she produces, She considers a field to make sure it's 352 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 6: going to profit. She discerns that the merchandise is good 353 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 6: because in a free enterprise system, it both incentivizes you 354 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 6: you want to profit, but the other person has to 355 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 6: freely engage in making that purchase, so they have to say, hey, 356 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 6: the price and quality is right for me. So it's 357 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 6: a great way in which both incentives can both be balanced. 358 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 6: I'm incentivized to profit, but I have to put your 359 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 6: needs ahead of my own, so you'll freely choose it. 360 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 6: And that's why e'n in that passage in Proverbs it says, 361 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 6: you know she profits. It celebrates that. So that's the 362 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 6: idea of those isms can be dangerous because you know that 363 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 6: Black Book of Communism says one hundred and fifty million 364 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 6: people were killed in the name of communism, And communism 365 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 6: always comes to you sounding like, you know, Jimmy Stewart 366 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 6: from the One of the Wife, You want the moon burial, 367 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 6: moonbeams come out of your eyeball. It always ends with 368 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 6: Monty Python, you know, bring out your dead, bring out 369 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 6: your dad. His always sounds good at the front end, 370 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 6: but it's never been good on the back end. And 371 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 6: we tried that. Actually, we tried that when the Pilgrims 372 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 6: first came over. Governor Bradford wrote in his journal, which 373 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 6: I addressed in the first chapter, what would God say 374 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 6: to John Adams? And he actually said, we tried it 375 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 6: we as pilgrims, fundamental pilgrims tried socialism. We're all going 376 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 6: to work for the common good, and there'd be lazy 377 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 6: people who weren't working. The people who worked harder wouldn't 378 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 6: be incentivized. And they're like, come on, guys, have us 379 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 6: died off? We got to work harder for the common good, 380 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 6: which is a nice ideal, And he says, ultimately, we 381 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 6: the fundamental pilgrims, could make socialism work. And I was like, 382 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 6: if the pilgrims can't make it work, what. 383 00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: Chance do we have? 384 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 6: Then whished over to a model where is that everyone 385 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 6: working for the communal property. Each person got their own farm, 386 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 6: they worked their own farm, They had a sense of responsibility. 387 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 6: It's that of productivity. Is that's a generosity. So we've 388 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 6: tried this before, and ultimately free enterprise is a way 389 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 6: in which incentivizes the responsibility, productivity, and ultimately generosity for 390 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 6: each one of us. 391 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 3: You know, you also bring in and for those that 392 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 3: have not heard any of your services before, you bring 393 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 3: in incredible humor to the whole thing. And you've done 394 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: the same thing in this book, not just a lot 395 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 3: of facts and figures which there are a lot of 396 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 3: those in there, and you know references to Steve Martin 397 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 3: and Monty Python. How do you make a reference? Where 398 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 3: are you tying in here? Let's start with Elmer fud. 399 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 6: Well, Yeah, we all have habits, and as habits, we 400 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 6: say to ourselves, I'm going to change this. I'm want 401 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 6: to do something different, Like why why didn't I change it? 402 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 6: Why do I keep overspending or why do I keep overhoarding? 403 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 6: Why do I keep not being able to do the 404 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 6: things I want to do? So I'll make a little 405 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 6: Elmer fudd and money python here. So one of the 406 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 6: problems is underneath our habit is a wabbit and we 407 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 6: all have spam in our lives. We're really addicted to 408 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 6: spun a lot status, performance, appearance, and money. That's spam. 409 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 6: If you're addicted to status, you're going to spend more 410 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 6: than you probably should, because it's all about the status. 411 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 6: If you're addicted to performance, you're going to find yourself 412 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 6: making compromises in other areas if it makes you look good, 413 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 6: your appearance, and then money. If those things become not 414 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 6: just a thing in your life but an ultimate thing 415 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 6: in your life, you'll be amazed at how the thing 416 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 6: that promises liberty ends up bringing you slavery. So Elmer Fudd, 417 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 6: of course we all know Elmer Fudd as well. Hunting 418 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 6: rabbits must be bad, way very quiet well hunting rabbits. 419 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 6: Underneath every habit in your life is a wabbit, and 420 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 6: you got to kill the wabbits. 421 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 5: Kill the rabbits. 422 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 6: Those wabbits are those things in your life that you're like, Oh, 423 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 6: my goodness, as long as stay is king in my life, 424 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 6: as long as other people's approval is king in my life, 425 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 6: I'm going to find myself doing things and compromising things 426 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 6: I shouldn't. So the first thing you got to do 427 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 6: is say, who's the wabbit or who's the wabbit in 428 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 6: my life? I need to kill. I need to subordinate 429 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 6: a good thing like status, a good thing like approval, 430 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 6: a good thing like you know, even my own family, 431 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 6: to something greater, a greater a God, a greater thing 432 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 6: that can bring you freedom. And it's amazing how when 433 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 6: you put God first in your life, those other important 434 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 6: things they settle in subordinated to that thing, and you 435 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 6: actually find more liberty. I can use my money without 436 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 6: my money using me, I can I can enjoy my 437 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 6: money without my money driving me. And so really the 438 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 6: hunt for the wabbit is to find out what's that 439 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 6: ultimate thing in the center of your life. It's under 440 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 6: the service, right Elmer Fuds got to go under the 441 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 6: ground to go find that wabbit. And often if you 442 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 6: don't go under the service and figure out, like, what's 443 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 6: the theme that keeps driving these decisions I'm making, you're 444 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 6: never gonna get to the heart of it. You'll keep 445 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 6: making promises, you'll double down on the promises, which you've 446 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 6: got to find the wabbits beneath your habits. 447 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 3: You know, you talk about the status part, and I 448 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 3: think all of us see so much of that if 449 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 3: we're not guilty ourselves from time to time right looking 450 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 3: in the mirror. And it's the old adage about keeping 451 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: up with the joneses. I mean, you can, you can 452 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 3: run yourself and your family, and you talked about the 453 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 3: other three as well here, But when you think about status, 454 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 3: there are so many people that are trying to, as 455 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 3: I said, keep up with the jones and man, it 456 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 3: can lead to absolute financial. 457 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: Devastation without a doubt. 458 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 6: And you know, everyone else's wabbit looks silly, but not yours. 459 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. 460 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 6: I can't believe they would do that like mine would 461 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 6: be approval. I like, you'll be happy with me. I've 462 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 6: driven myself crazy trying to make everybody happy. It's a 463 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 6: it's total ridiculous rabbits, but it's one of my wabbits. 464 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 6: And one of mine is productivity. And man, there's times 465 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 6: that I don't feel productive. And I saw that my grandfather. 466 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 6: I saw that my father both of the genius of it. Man, 467 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 6: we get a lot done. But the downside is when 468 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 6: Grandpa had a stroke, and when Grandpa went to that 469 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 6: final season of life and I took care of him 470 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 6: in his bedside, he's fell into a deep depression because 471 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 6: he loved helping people, which is an awesome thing. He 472 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 6: loved being productive, but when he couldn't be, who am 473 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 6: I if that doesn't happen. My dad was in town 474 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 6: last week getting some surgery done for cancer. Very successful 475 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 6: and where we'll celebrate that. But I could just see 476 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 6: how frustrated he was during the recovery because he can't 477 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 6: be productive. It's always a reminder of me of when 478 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 6: you look at your family of origin, you say, hey, 479 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 6: what are the great things my family passed? On to me, 480 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 6: how do I bring that along with me? But also 481 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 6: what parts can I leave behind? I want productivity to 482 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 6: be of value, but not my ultimate value. You know, 483 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 6: I want to your point performance and status. Who doesn't 484 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 6: want performance and status? But you don't want to be 485 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 6: king in your life. You don't want to be the 486 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 6: ultimate definition of your value and identity. 487 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 3: Interesting, and there's nothing wrong with spending a lot of 488 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 3: money at your alma mater, for example. We touched on 489 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 3: this a little bit last week. Where you know, you 490 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 3: give a bunch of money to a school they name 491 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 3: a building after you, Right, I mean, it's a great thing, 492 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 3: and it's something it's a legacy thing. You are helping 493 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 3: a lot of people that are going to that school 494 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 3: in some form or fashion, whether you're building, you know, 495 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 3: something as large as a sports arena or something as 496 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 3: small as maybe putting in a media center at the 497 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 3: local high school. Right, all those things are unbelievable. But 498 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you know, I remember 499 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 3: Vince Gully, the former Dodger announcer, legendary Hall of famer, 500 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 3: and he wasn't the guy that came up with this line, 501 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 3: but it's so true. At the end of the day, 502 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 3: you're talking about your dad and can't. Yeah, But when 503 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 3: you're talking about end of life, right, the old saying 504 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 3: about no one's ever met somebody that when they're on 505 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 3: their dying bed, they say, gee, whiz man, I wish 506 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 3: I would have worked more, right, or I wish I 507 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 3: would have gave more to not necessarily something that you 508 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 3: would look at as quote unquote share it. You'll be 509 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 3: there on your due your bed and you'll be saying 510 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 3: to yourself, man, the best thing I ever did was 511 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 3: help paying for that kid to go to college or 512 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 3: that to fill in the blank. 513 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 6: Right, Well, you don't have to be religious to have 514 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 6: a sense of what really matters. When you get kind 515 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 6: away from your rabbits or see other people's rabbits, you 516 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 6: begin to go, you know what. I begin to realize 517 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 6: human beings at some level, I realize are eternal, they 518 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 6: have value, that they're eternally valuable. And I wish I'd 519 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 6: spent more time investing my time, investing my energy, investing 520 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 6: my money in people. And I say, on your deathbed 521 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 6: often it's who do you want to be gathered around with? 522 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 6: You know, your stockbrokers, do we gathered ound your investors. 523 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 6: I'm sure there's great friendship there. You want to be 524 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 6: around your family and friends, people you care about who 525 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 6: love you and you love them like, this is what matters. 526 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 6: People matter, People have eternal valuable In fact, C. S. 527 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 6: Lewis and his book Mere Christianity likens this to socialism. 528 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 6: He says Christians believe that individuals are eternally valuable. Therefore 529 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 6: they're far more valuable than the state, meaning the state, 530 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 6: like whether it's a government or an empire or a 531 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 6: dynasty at the very best, maybe a Chinese a thousand years. Well, 532 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 6: a government a state the last one thousand years, compared 533 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 6: to an individual, which is eternal, the state is incomparably 534 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 6: less important than the individual. So you want the state 535 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 6: to actually protect the rights of the individual because that's 536 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 6: what's valuable the macro level and at the personal level. 537 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 6: You say to yourself, well, if I was on my 538 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 6: deskbed or I was thinking about what said in my funeral, 539 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 6: I wouldn't want people to talk about what. Yeah, I 540 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 6: do want to be productive, I want to be important things. 541 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 6: I want to give to things that outlive me. But 542 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 6: I also want to know that the people around me 543 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 6: knew I love them. The people around me knew I 544 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 6: invested in them. And even when you're giving to the 545 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 6: poor generically, you're giving the individuals who are able to 546 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 6: then have a better life. So we talked last week, 547 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 6: learned how to fish. I'm trying to invest in people 548 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 6: who invest in people, and that's the way to invest 549 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 6: your life, and that's where real joy comes from. You 550 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 6: align your priorities to what you know are true values. 551 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 6: You're investing in eternal things, not just temporal things. And 552 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 6: I'm not against temporal things. One that's everything's temporal except 553 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 6: human beings. Nothing wrong with enjoying stuff. And there's a 554 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 6: guy in the Book of Acts who gives very, very generously. 555 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 6: His name's Barnabas. In fact, he's so generous to so 556 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 6: many people they nickname him the Son of Encouragement. I 557 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 6: always think, what a great nickname. What if I was 558 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 6: known for being somebody who I walk into a room, 559 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 6: I encourage people. I use my money to encourage people 560 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,719 Speaker 6: to do great things. I want to be someone not 561 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 6: known for I stomped on people in the way up, 562 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 6: or look how much they hoarded for themselves. Man, Look 563 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 6: how they encourage other people to be their very best. 564 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 6: That's what gadnomics is about. Against productivity, it's about liberty. 565 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 6: It's also generosity. It's about living an other centered life 566 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 6: that leaves incredible legacy to you, to the people around you, 567 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 6: your community, to your country. You want to know that 568 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 6: your life is mattering when you're combining this beautiful mix 569 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 6: of eternal things fused into temple things. 570 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 3: Can't tell you how many people stop me whether I'm 571 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 3: at the grocery store, I'm at udf, I'm wherever, and 572 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 3: they just tell me how much they enjoy this segment. 573 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 3: And Pastor Chad, we thank you for it as always, 574 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 3: and we'll catch up with you again next week.
