1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: All right. You may have noticed during the Super Bowl 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: if you watched it. In between star studed advertisements and 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: a whole lot of football, this year's Super Bowl watchers 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: were being taken, as it was described by many online 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: as going to church. He gets Us, a campaign to 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: promote Jesus and Christianity, is running two ads during the 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: game as part of a staggering one hundred million dollars 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: media investment. To me, the spots will be nothing new. 9 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: He gets Us content has been prepping or has been 10 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: peppering TV screens, billboards, and social media feeds since a 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: national launch in twenty twenty two. The campaign is arresting, 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: portraying the pivotal figure of Christianity as an immigrant, a refugee, 13 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: a radical, an activist for women's rights, and a bulwork 14 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: against racial injustice and political corruption. He gets Us website 15 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: features content about of the moment topics like artificial intelligence 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: and social justice. Whatever you are facing Jesus face at two. 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: The campaign claims it's getting noticed when the campaign's videos, 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: titled The Rebel has need one hundred and twenty two 19 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: million views on YouTube and eleven months google searches for 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,559 Speaker 1: He gets Us, a spike since the beginning of the year. 21 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: The campaign is a natural fit with the NFL, they say, 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: whose games have long contained symbols of religion. Players often 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: prey on the field and point to Heaven after touchdowns. 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: But certain details about the he gets Us ads have 25 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: set off alarm bells among young people in those skeptical 26 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: of religion, two groups a campaign is specifically trying to 27 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: attract as many young people have turned against faith, religion, God, etc. Now. 28 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: Some of the campaign's major donors and its holding company 29 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: have ties to the conservative political aspects and quote far 30 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: right ideology. CNN says that appear at odds with the 31 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: campaigns inclusive messaging. The campaign has connections to anti LGBT 32 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: and anti abortion law as well. Read the Bible and 33 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: you'll understand why would be my response. The chain of 34 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: influence behind he gets Us can be followed through public 35 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: records and information on the campaign's own site. The campaign 36 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: is a subsidiary of the Servant Foundation, also known as 37 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: sign a Tree. According to research compiled a left leaning 38 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: news outlet says that Servant Foundations donated tens of millions 39 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: of dollars to the Alliance Defending Freedom. It's a conservative 40 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: Christian legal group ADF, which by the way, does amazing work, 41 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: has been involved in a lot of significant court cases. 42 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: They've been involved in several legislative pushes to curtail LGBTQ rights, 43 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: CNN says, and squash non discrimination legislation in the Supreme Court. Now, 44 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: while donors who support He Gets Us can choose to 45 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: remain anonymous, Hobby Lobby co founder David Green claims to 46 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: be a big contributor to the campaigns multimillion dollar campaign budget. 47 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: Hobby Lobby has famously been at the center of several 48 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: legal controversies, including the support of anti LGBTQ legislation. I 49 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: love how's anti LGBTQ is how the media you know, 50 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: phrase it instead of them just saying the truth, which 51 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: is they support traditional marriage legislation. They go on to 52 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: write in a successful years long legal fight that eventually 53 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: led the Supreme Court allowing companies to deny medical coverage 54 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: for contraception on the basis of religious beliefs. Again, you gotta, 55 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, make sure Hobby Lobby looks bad if you're CNN. 56 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: Green discussed his involvement with a campaign in the Super 57 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: Bowl ad spot during a November interview with conservative talk 58 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: shows Glenn Back, he said, quote, we are wanting to 59 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: say we we being a lot of different people that 60 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: he gets Us. Green said referring to Jesus. Jesus understands us. 61 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: He loves who we hate. I think we have to 62 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: let the public know and create a movement. He gets 63 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: Us does not list owners on its website. Funding for 64 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: He gets Us comes from a diverse group of individuals 65 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: and entities with a common goal of sharing Jesus's story authentically. 66 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: Besides funding information, page reads, most of the people driving 67 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: and gets Us include our donors, including our donors choose 68 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: to remain anonymous because the story isn't about them and 69 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: they don't want the credit. Jason vander Ground, spokesman for 70 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: He gets Us, in president of a creative marketing firm, Haven, 71 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: said to see Ann that the Servant Foundation uses a 72 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: fund which unites donors to provide pool support for organizations 73 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: while ensuring the organizations can operate without donors impacting specific messages. 74 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: Funding for the campaign comes from a diverse group of 75 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: individuals and entities with a common goal of sharing Jesus 76 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: and Jesus's story authentically. C Ann again on the at 77 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: hack at such an ad campaign said the campaign is 78 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: tied to evangelical churches. By the way, yay be assured, 79 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: we're not left or right or a political organization of 80 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: any kind that he gets us site reads. We're also 81 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: not affiliated with any particular church or denomination. See. This 82 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: is the thing and the reason why I wanted to 83 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: read you this story because I do think it's so 84 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: important that people really understand this. Notice how they're now 85 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: attacking right conservatives, They're attacking attacking churches, they're attacking donors, 86 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: and they're now saying that if you're an evangelical Christian 87 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: that you're obviously some sort of horrific right wing person. 88 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: If you stand up for traditional marriage, you're actually technically 89 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: anti LGBTQIA, and therefore you're the worst person in the world. 90 00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: That's what they're saying. If you believe in basic values 91 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: now and you're not accepting of others and what they 92 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: want to force you to believe, then you're also the 93 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: worst person in the world. You have to understand this 94 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: is now what we are up against. This is who 95 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: we are, this is what we are, this is what 96 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 1: we have become as a country. We have a group 97 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: of individuals that hate faith. They hate God, they hate religion, 98 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: They hate that the Bible actually sets out a basic 99 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: list of right and wrongs. They hate the fact that 100 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: we are that we live in a nation where there 101 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: are people that go to church and believe there's a 102 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 1: higher being. In fact, they hate that we are now 103 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: in a scenario with an ad campaign during the super Bowl, 104 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: there is telling people that if you're struggling life with depression, anxiety, 105 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: if you're struggling with a list of different things that 106 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: real people actually are dealing with, that there may be 107 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: answers within the Bible, that there may be something that's 108 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: bigger than you. This is how much the left, which 109 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: is really has a hardcore anti God aspect now of 110 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: their politics. It's how far they're willing to go. If 111 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: you're a Christian, if you're a conservative and you give money, 112 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: they want to docks you. Docsing is where they say, 113 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: look at this person, look at their company, don't shop there, 114 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: don't do business with them, or if they work for 115 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: somebody else, they should be fired for this. Right. So 116 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: you go out there and you tell people during the 117 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: super Bowl, hey, there's a God, and if you are struggling, 118 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: maybe you should look at this. They want you to 119 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: be destroyed forever. And that's exactly why CNN has written 120 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: this article the way that they are writing this article. 121 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: This is why they've decided this is the way they 122 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: want this article to be written. This is why they 123 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: are saying it this way is because they do not 124 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: believe that you have the right to believe in a 125 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: higher being, and if you do, they want people to 126 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: think that you are a bigot, racist, homophobe, xenophobe, everything 127 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: else they can call you. In other words, you go 128 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: to church and you're an evangelical and you're a bigot, 129 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: You're a racist, you're you're a fundamentalist, or a KKK member. 130 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: That's the message CNN is saying in this article. All 131 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: because two ads are Boy the super Bowl, giving people 132 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: hope and anyone that gives money to them.

Site reads 172 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: we're also not affiliated with any particular church or denominate. 173 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: While it gets us as it's not intended to be 174 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: connected to any particular Christian ideology, it has theological ties 175 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: to evangelical practices as well as financial ones, and then 176 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: goes on to write in general, Christian evangelism is closely 177 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: tied to conservatism and as an extremely influential force in 178 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: American politics. All right, So let's just be clear now 179 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: you should hate this these ads that ran in this 180 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: campaign because it's closely tied to conservative politics, all right. 181 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: I really don't know what else to say about the 182 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: bigotry of the left and the media than just to 183 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: read these words to you. It is so perfectly encompassing 184 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: of where we are in society today. Is there any 185 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: other ads that we're in the Super Bowl or anything 186 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: else that happened in the Super Bowl that has written 187 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: about this extensively by CNN? The answers no. They're now 188 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: attacking Conservatives, Christians, evangelicals for having an ad up there 189 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: that says He gets Us trying to help people that 190 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: are struggling in a godless world. On the heat excuse me. 191 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: On the He gets Us outreach site, which is meant 192 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: for churches and marketers who wish to interact with the campaign, 193 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: the organization outlines its beliefs. He Gets Us has chosen 194 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: to not have our own separate statement of beliefs. Each 195 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: participating church ministry will typically have its own language. Meanwhile, 196 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: we generally recognize Lazian Covenant as reflective of the spirit 197 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: and intent of this movement, and churches that partner with 198 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: Explorers from He gets Us a firm this covenant. This 199 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: information does not appear to be listed anywhere on the 200 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: main He Gets A site intended for the public. The 201 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four Governant is an important unifying document in 202 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: evangelical Christian churches. While the movement itself was started by 203 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: the prominent evangelical leader Billy Graham. So apparently now Billy 204 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: Graham's a horrible person. Documents and decisions that have come 205 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: out of the movement summons have to cry the ideology 206 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,599 Speaker 1: of disordered sexuality and focus heavily on the impact of 207 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: the devil and sin on national cultures. I don't understand 208 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: what's wrong with that. Have you ever read the Bible? 209 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: It's pretty clear. The influence of Graham, a founder of 210 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: modern American evangelism, is also evident in speakers and partners 211 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: from he gets us. Some of them are affiliated with 212 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: groups bearing Graham's name, including the Billy Graham Center at 213 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: Wheaton College, a liberal arts institution in Illinois. The Wheaton 214 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: College has a deep history of abolitionism and racial justice. 215 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: Campus Pride also ranked it as one of the worst 216 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: campuses for LGBTQ youth. Okay, well, why it's a hardcore 217 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: Christian college that teaches the Bible and isn't afraid to 218 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: offend people and their sins. So of course, Wheaton College 219 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: would rank as one of the worst campuses for LGBTQ 220 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: youth because they're not going to give you a Kumbaya 221 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: warmhog when you're living in something that is clearly a 222 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: sin based on what their beliefs are. Students are required 223 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: to sign a community covenant stating Christianity condemned sexual immorality. 224 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: So that's also means straight sex. That also includes homosexuality 225 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,479 Speaker 1: and adultery. What's wrong with that? It's a Christian college. 226 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: CNN Investigative team asked vander Ground, the representative for He 227 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: gets Us gets Us, if the campaign supports and affirms 228 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: LGBTQ Christians. The debate over lgbt Q plus issues is 229 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: a great example of how the real Jesus too often 230 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: gets lost, overlooked, or distorted in debates over political and 231 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: social issues. He said, our focus is on helping people 232 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: see and consider Jesus as he is shown in the Bible. 233 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: He gets us and he loves us, and that includes 234 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: people on all sides of these issues. By the way, 235 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: brilliant wording from He Gets Us to not walk into 236 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: the scumbaggery booby traps of the media. Some critics right 237 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: Big headline here say the campaign is not authentic. The 238 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: minds behind He Gets Us says, say the campaign message 239 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: is intended to appear appeal, excuse me, to younger people 240 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: and those who say who may see Christians as toxic 241 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: and divisive. So there you go, So we are toxic 242 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: and devisive if you believe in God. Right, the critics 243 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: of a campaign of two ads that are not offensive 244 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl are now attacking all Christians saying 245 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: that we're all evil, terrible people. That's what they just said, 246 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: Make no mistake about it. That's what they just said. 247 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: And this is the bigotry again coming from CNN. This 248 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: is how evil CNN is and the members of the media. 249 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: This is what they want to do to anybody that 250 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: believes in a higher being, believes in something that's higher 251 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: than themselves. That I mean, this is it. You have 252 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: to understand now, they've decided what religion can and can't 253 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: say to be accepting of them. If you believe in 254 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: a basic set of standards and rules, or you believe 255 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: in a higher being and you believe that there are 256 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: actual rights and wrongs, that they'll destroy you, folks like 257 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: they'll come after you and they will flat out and 258 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: destroy you. Some critics quote say the campaign is not authentic, 259 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: saying the mind behind the He Gets Us says the 260 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: campaign messages intended to appear to younger people and those 261 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: may who may see Christianity as toxic and divisive. A 262 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: lot of times when people look at Christianity, unfortunately they 263 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: see it is much of a much more hypocritical, judgmental, discriminatory, 264 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: is what Vanderground told CNN's Tom Foreman. We're trying to 265 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: unify the American people around the confounding love and forgiveness 266 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: of Jesus. By design, our media message focuses on his humanity. 267 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: Since we've learned these resonate with the widest possible audience. 268 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: Gets His Partner site reads. We also provide open opportunities 269 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: to anyone willing to connect with our partners to learn 270 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: more about Jesus. The word of the campaign has sparked 271 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: enthusiasm among Christian groups and influencers online, but other Christians, 272 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: including those in the growing Deacon instruction movement, who are 273 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 1: reevaluating their relationship with religion, aren't buying it. The deconstruction 274 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: movement all right, well, let's deal with that in a moment. 275 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: Doctor Kevin Young, a pastor and biblical scholar who discussed 276 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: this Christianity and social media, says a campaign won't do 277 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: much to, you know, to stop people's criticism of the church, 278 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: saying this, young people are digital natives who understand the 279 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: difference between slick marketing and authenticity. He says megachurches, mega events, 280 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: and mega spending on marketing is seen as money that 281 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: could have been used funding community programs and advocacy for 282 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: the oppress such as refugees, LGBTQ plus individuals, and abortion 283 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: rights and the poor. Well, why would a church spend 284 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: money on abortion rights? It doesn't go against what we believe. 285 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: So that's ridiculous, right, they want you to spend the 286 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: money on advocacy. And this is this is doctor Kevin Young, 287 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: who's a pastor, is saying this, and said Young says 288 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: he'd prefer to see action and accountability, saying, quote, young 289 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: people want a church that will put some put shoe 290 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: leather to their faith and do something for those in 291 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: harm's way, those who the church itself has harmed. Oh 292 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: so a pastor is now saying that religion and believing 293 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: in God is actually harmful, sounds like a great pastor. 294 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: Some he gets us messages. Messaging makes oblique references to 295 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: cancel culture, which raises a red flag for some who 296 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: see the term is highly political in a staple of 297 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: conservative rhetoric, one message Jesus slogan, Jesus was canceled. It's 298 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: true by the way he was literally he was crucified. 299 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: When it comes to crucifixion and cancel culture, I don't 300 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: see much to compare, writes Josiah Daniels for so Journey 301 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:55,239 Speaker 1: Christian publication. Furthermore, Imagining Jesus says political is itself a 302 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: political decision, and it is a decision that aligns with 303 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: politically and financially powerful interests. Other Christians have criticized a 304 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: campaign for a different reason altogether, for being too vague 305 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: and apparently dehumanizing, are de emphasizing biblical teachings and Jesus's holiness. 306 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: Conservative pundit Charlie Kirk took him of the campaign, saying 307 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: those involved have been taken for a ride by these 308 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: woke tricksters. Vanderground says the campaign is committed to being 309 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: scripturally accurate, saying we believe it's more important now than 310 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: ever for the real, authentic Jesus to be represented in 311 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: a public marketplace as he is in the Bible now. 312 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: The ad campaign comes as Christian identity has waned in 313 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: the US in recent decades. According to a new data poll, 314 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: about sixty three percent of American adults identify as Christian 315 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, down from about ninety percent in 316 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties. That's significant decline younger adults in particular, 317 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: driving this downturn. Quote Jesus didn't have an image problem, 318 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: but Christians and their churches do, Young said, these campaigns 319 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: end up being pr for the wrong problem. Young people 320 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: are savvy. One of their primary issues with evangelicalism and 321 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: the modern church in America is the amount of money 322 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: spent on itself. The two Super Bowl ads alone are 323 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: I have to spend with thirty second spots for the 324 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: game running roughly a record high seven million in twenty 325 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: twenty seven are twenty twenty three, Vanderground told Christianity Today 326 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: the campaign plans to invest a billion dollars on spreading 327 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: their message. It's exactly that investment and the people behind 328 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: it that have led some Christians to wonder if He 329 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 1: gets Us will actually lead people to Jesus, and if 330 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: it does, what path they will ultimately be encouraged to take. 331 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: So now it's a conspiracy theory. I love how two 332 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: ads in the Super Bowl have caused this much anger 333 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: from the left right. So recap this. This ad campaign 334 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: is bigger than racist, anti LGBTQ and two pro actual God, 335 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: this message is bigger than racist and homophobic, and the 336 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: list goes on and on. Why because well, we've just 337 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: said so, We've decided it right, We've decided that it's bad, 338 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: so therefore it must be bad. This ad spend is 339 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: something that is terrible because you shouldn't be spending money 340 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: on things like this again their words, even though the 341 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: left has no problem with George Soros and others spending 342 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: countless dollars and the media giving multi billion dollars ad 343 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: campaigns and Democratic candidates and values all day long, every 344 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: day for free. What I'll also say about this is 345 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,239 Speaker 1: one other thing. I don't know everybody involved. What I 346 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: do know is looking at these ads, they're a hell 347 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: of a lot better than some of the other ads 348 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: that we've seen during the Super Bowl. And the fact 349 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: that this is the most controversial ad of the Super 350 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: Bowl I think also tells you something else, how much 351 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: people are angered by traditional values being discovered and talked about. 352 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:21,239 Speaker 1: Let's just compare this to the demonic performance at the 353 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: Grammys by this non binary devil that was worshiped by 354 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: all of Hollywood some have described as end of day vibes. 355 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: Elon Musk actually slammed the demonic performance at the Grammys. 356 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: But did anybody write this big article on the devil worship, 357 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: the actual devil worship that went on during the Grammys, No, 358 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: and write an article about that? Now? Was that good 359 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: for America? Was it good for our kids to see 360 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: that at the Grammys? I would say no, it was not. 361 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: Is it sad that the Grammys were even allowed this 362 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: to happen? I would also say, yes, it is really 363 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: sad for me. It's incredibly sad that this is what's happening. 364 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: But I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised at all that 365 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: our country and the media right now would would would 366 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: support cherish, encourage, advocate, and give standing ovations to devil 367 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: worship at the Grammys. Well, two ads that deal with 368 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: God being your friend for people that are in need 369 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 1: and hurting are played at the Super bowl and the 370 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: fact they want to go after every single person's given 371 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: money is also tells you a lot about these people. 372 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: It's really sad. This is what we're now up against. 373 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: These these ads were, by the way, inclusive, They weren't 374 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: mean spirited, they weren't something that was just evil. Okay, 375 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: let's be clear. They were ads that made sense. They 376 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: were ads that were I think actually important. And they 377 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: were ads And if you watch them for thirty seconds, 378 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: if you were triggered by them, that's really your fault 379 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: that you were triggered by them. They won't stop though. 380 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: You may not know this, but what I can tell 381 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: you right now is the President United States of America 382 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: is on top of it, let's see, on top of 383 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: dealing with any object flying in the air. We finally 384 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: got a press briefing from the President United States of 385 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: America on what all they've been shooting down and what 386 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,719 Speaker 1: we now found out. There's a good chance we may 387 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: have been shooting down science projects from kids and bottle 388 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: in bottle cap clubs quote unquote, not a joke. We 389 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: did shoot down a Chinese by balloon after it had 390 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: successfully maneuvered across the United States of America. And successfully 391 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: done exactly what it is that was sent here to do. 392 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: Shut it down a week earlier, but we didn't. We 393 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: allowed for the reconnaistance mission to be finished before we 394 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: shut it down. But then we've decided to overreact based 395 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: on politics and basically shoot down anything, including what could 396 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 1: be a high school kids project or space junk. Biden 397 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: also was angry after his press conference yesterday. He was 398 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: asked a question about his family's Chinese business deals. Biden 399 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: tells the press give me a break and stomps off 400 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: when asked that basic question. Why is he so angry? 401 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: You can decide for yourself. I'm going to play that 402 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: for you in a moment. But before we get to that, 403 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: I want you to hear what the President actually had 404 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: to say about shooting down unidentified flying objects called UFOs 405 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: or whatever they are that could just be kids science projects. 406 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: Listening carefully. Last week, in immediate aftermath of the incursion 407 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: by Chinese high altitude balloon, our military, through the North 408 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: American Aerospace Defense Command so called NORAD, closely scrutinized our airspace, 409 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: including enhancing our radar to pick up more slow moving 410 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: objects above our country around the world and doing so, 411 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: they attract three unidentified objects, one Alaska, Canada and over 412 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: a Lake Huron in the Midwest. They acted in accordance 413 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: with established parameters for determining how to deal with underdentified 414 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: areal objects in US airspace. At their recommendation, I gave 415 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: the order to take down these three objects due to 416 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: hazards to civilian commercial air traffic and because we could 417 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: not rule out the surveillance risk of sensitive facilities. We 418 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: acted in consultation with the Canadian government. I spoke personally 419 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: with Prime Minister Trudeau and camped from Canada on Saturday, 420 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: And just as critically, we acted out of an abundance 421 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: of caution and an opportunity that allowed us to take 422 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: down these objects safely. Our military and the Canadian military 423 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: are seeking to recover the degree so we can learn 424 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: more about these three objects. Our intelligence community is still 425 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: assessing all three incidents. They're reporting to me daily and 426 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: will continue the urgent efforts to do so, and I 427 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,239 Speaker 1: will communicate that to the Congress. We don't yet know 428 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: exactly what these three objects were, but nothing right now 429 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: suggests they were related to China's spy balloon program or 430 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: that there were surveillance vehicles from any other country. The 431 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: intelligence community's current assessment is that these three objects were 432 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research 433 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: institutions studying whether or conducting other scientific research. Now, the 434 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: question you should be asking yourself is, Okay, let me 435 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: get this straight right. You guys are now sitting up 436 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: F sixteens F twenty two raptors other planes to shoot 437 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: down random things, and you can't tell us what they 438 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: are before you shoot them down, but you're shooting them 439 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: down anyway, so you could get headlines that show that 440 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: now you're being serious about shooting things down. Imagine what 441 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: China is thinking right now and how much they're laughing. 442 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: You allow, our actual spy balloon that you know is 443 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: a spy balloon that you know as a size of 444 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: school buses, is collecting data and hovering over our most 445 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: sensitive nuclear sights and military bases. And you don't shoot 446 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: that down. You let it successfully go across America. But 447 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, you're shooting down everything you 448 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,719 Speaker 1: can find that you can shoot down, including things that 449 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: you don't even know what it is. And then you 450 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: find out, oh, it might be science projects or actual 451 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: weather balloons, and none of them have ties to China 452 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: compared to what was happening last week when we knew 453 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: it was China. Does that make any sense to any 454 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: of you. It shouldn't, because it doesn't make sense to 455 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: anybody because it's completely illogical. But the presence letting you 456 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: know they shot down some random stuff just in case, 457 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: but the one that actually need to be shut down 458 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: we didn't shoot down. Instructed our intelligence community to take 459 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: a broad look at the phenomenon of unidentified aerial objects. 460 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: We know that a range of entities, including countries, companies, 461 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: and research organizations operate objects at altitudes for purposes that 462 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: are not nefarious, including legitimate scientific research. I want to 463 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: be clear, we don't have any evidence that there has 464 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: been a sudden increase in the number of objects in 465 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: the sky. We're now just seeing more of them, partially 466 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: because the steps we've taken to increase our radars to 467 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: narrow our radars, and we have to keep adapting our 468 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: approach to delay to dealing with these challenges. That's why 469 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: I've directed my team to come back to me with 470 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: sharper rules for how we will deal with these unidentified 471 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: objects moving forward, distinguishing, distinguishing between those that are likely 472 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: to post safety and security risk that necessitate action and 473 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: those that do not. But make no mistake. If any 474 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: object presents a threat to the safety of security the 475 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: American people, I will take it down. Okay. If that's true, 476 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: mister President, then why did you not take down the 477 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: one that flew over our country that was a security 478 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: and safety risk? Why did you allow it to finish 479 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: its mission? It's stated goal of hovering and flying over 480 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: our most secret sites. You didn't take it down until 481 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: after the mission was completed for China. You understand now. 482 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: This actually, I think makes him look worse because you're 483 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: realizing that he said, all right, we have an optics problem. 484 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: Anything you can find right now, just shoot it down. 485 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: If it's a kid's science project, we don't care shoot 486 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: it down, just shoot it down. And they did it, 487 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, spent millions of dollars shooting down 488 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: balloons that are tied to science clubs. But the real 489 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: one we should have shot down. No, that one was successful. 490 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: Thank you for that, mister President. Make sure you share 491 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: this podcast with your family and your friends. We will 492 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: keep you update on all this news. As it continues 493 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: to break, we are not going to stop. We're not 494 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: going to back down. Right, it's a five star reviews 495 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: so we can reach more people. That's the most helpful 496 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: thing you can do to support us, and we'll see 497 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: you back here tomorrow
