On the Trump side to 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: get out the truth and defeat communism on Kamala side, 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: to get out the lies and ruin America shorthand for 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: what's going on with these campaigns. Much to discuss. We 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: also just to give you a little roadmap for where 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: we're heading. Sam Brown, Senate candidate in Nevada, very important 13 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: senate race there. We're going to talk to him later 14 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: on the program, probably third hour. And then actor Kirk 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: Cameron of Growing Pains fame. For those of us who 16 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: grew up and watched Growing. 17 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: Pains, I was. 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 3: I all loved that show. 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 4: It. 20 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, Family Ties and Growing Pains were kind of like 21 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: that was my sweet spot for years when I was 22 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: a kid. 23 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 5: So confession Buck, I also liked Who's the Boss? And 24 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 5: I used to have a big crush on Alyssa Milano 25 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 5: And we know that that's gone down. 26 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 3: The Durrain really kind of a rough spot. Rough spot 27 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 3: for me. 28 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: Don't ever meet your heroes, man. I thought she was 29 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: great in that too, and then I interviewed her many 30 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: years later and she was an absolute nightmare. So just 31 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: putting it out there, we have, we have all that 32 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: to get to. Okay, let's start with the big news. 33 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: Then we'll get into some big ideas as well. We 34 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: have Trump saying that he is not going to debate again. 35 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: I think I said yesterday, Clay, I don't think he 36 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: will and I don't think he could. I didn't put 37 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: a bet on this one because I'm sick of having 38 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: to buy you expensive stakes. But or I guess we're 39 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: even we're even steven as of a few weeks from now. 40 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: But I decided that it was probably in Trump's best interest. 41 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: That seems to be I think, uh the move for 42 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: him right now, given where the polls are and everything else. 43 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: I know, you want to dive into some internal reporting 44 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: at CNN about internal polling on the Kamala side of 45 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: things that is encouraging for Trump. Look, you've got people 46 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: that are coming out and saying at the election were 47 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: held today, Trump would win. You've got some others who 48 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: were saying if the election were held today, Kamala would win. 49 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: No surprise is there. Nobody really knows the answer, and 50 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: nobody will know until election day. All Right, I feel 51 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: very strongly that Trump is ahead, but not by a lot. 52 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: I think he's ahead, but this is this is a 53 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: tight race, and it's gonna come into the final stretch 54 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I think that's Remember Claary, we were 55 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: at the Kentucky Derby. We had so much fun. We're 56 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: entering the phase where you know, the horses are running 57 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: and everyone's like, oh, the horses are running, and it's like, oh, 58 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: I think I saw them. And then when they get 59 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: into the final stretch because we were near the finish line, 60 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: everyone stands up and there's all that electricity and excitement. 61 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: It's gonna be like that. 62 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: Okay, no one's getting lapped here, and the horses are 63 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: gonna be right on top of our. 64 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 5: Boss Julie Talbot from Kentucky took us to the finish 65 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 5: line of the Kentucky Derby and it was amazing for 66 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 5: those who did not know. And her husband Michael, and 67 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 5: that is where we are now. Full sprint for the 68 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 5: next fifty three days. 69 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, the crowd is standing and at that last stretch 70 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: with the final final leg of the race happening right 71 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: in front of us. So that's where we are a 72 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: couple of big things. 73 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 3: Keep in mind. 74 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: First off, the media, I really just think that their 75 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: strategy at this point is to run through the run 76 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: through the end of this taking as many hits and 77 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: shots as they have to on behalf of Kamala by 78 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 1: lying for her about things that are easily disprovable. I'll 79 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: get to one of those in a second. And we 80 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: also have an idea that Clay and I were texting 81 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: about yesterday that we want to raise with you. Maybe 82 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: we've already raised it to the Trump campaign. Maybe we've 83 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: already said, hey, guys, here's a good idea. But I 84 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: think that the media, Clay knows that they're gonna have 85 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: to lie about a lot of things because Kamala's got huge, 86 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: huge vulnerabilities based on what she has been saying for Oh, 87 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: I don't know her entire life in public office. And 88 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: here's one of them. This is a new Trump ad. 89 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: They said that she didn't after that debate, they said 90 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: Kamala didn't support transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison, 91 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: because that's quite a mouthful. Right, problem is, she did 92 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: here's this Trump ad play three. 93 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: He did things that nobody would ever think of. 94 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: Now she wants to do transgender operations or illegal aliens 95 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: that are in prison. 96 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: This is a radical left liberal. 97 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: Paris voice support for cutting funding for ICE and for 98 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: using taxpayer money to fund transgender surgery for detained migrants. 99 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 5: In twenty nineteen, tax pair funded gender transition surgeries for 100 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 5: retainment change. 101 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: Ry actually said she supported. 102 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 4: She wrote both wrote and answered in the affirmative when 103 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 4: she was asked, and she said she also supported it 104 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 4: for federal prisoners. 105 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: These are things that you know, you would be hard 106 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: to think that you would come up with taxpayer funding 107 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: gender transitions for detained migrants. 108 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 6: This is just a couple of her positions back then. 109 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: Clay there, I really just think that they're hoping to 110 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: continue to just take these shots and push through whatever 111 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: the damage to their credibility is what they don't care. 112 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: They've got to go all in for Kamala, even if 113 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: it means blowing up their credibility at every step. 114 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 5: I do think buck this is where twitter x being 115 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 5: owned by Elon milk makes a big difference because I 116 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 5: don't know if you paid attention to this, but the 117 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 5: community notes section on Twitter has become very valuable because 118 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 5: people like Jamal Bowman, people like the New Yorker writer, 119 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 5: a lot of them came out and said, hey, this 120 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 5: is a crazy thing that Trump said during the debate, 121 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 5: that Kamala Harris wants to provide sex change operations funded 122 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 5: by taxpayers for illegal immigrants in detention centers as well 123 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 5: as criminals. 124 00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: And she actually did. 125 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 5: And our friend Ryan Gerdusky was on CNN when Van 126 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 5: Jones tried to make excuses for Kamala Harris by saying, yeah, 127 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 5: you know, the whole Democrat Party kind of lost its 128 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 5: mind in the twenty twenty campaign, and Ryan shot back, Yeah, 129 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 5: BLM was the cause of all of it, but really 130 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 5: it was everybody was trying to get left of Bernie 131 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 5: and left of Elizabeth Warren because that's how they thought 132 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 5: they ended up the nominee against Trump. And so Kamala 133 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 5: came out with all these crazy left wing propositions, and 134 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 5: unlike in twenty twenty, when it might have been stifled, 135 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 5: or when the and it's so important fact checkers might 136 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 5: have been given precedence. I saw buck I loved it. 137 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 5: Is that the Seattle Post, whatever the main newspaper is 138 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 5: in Seattle, came out and said Trump lied about parts 139 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 5: of Seattle being taken over by protesters during twenty twenty, 140 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 5: and then Community Notes fact check the action rual Seattle 141 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 5: newspaper with an article from them about Chaz. I mean, 142 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 5: are they just going to pretend that didn't happen, the 143 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 5: autonomous zone that was taken over in the center of 144 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 5: Seattle by protesters, and so the lies are getting recognized. 145 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 5: My question is, are the sort of swing voters who 146 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 5: are open to them seeing them? You and I are, 147 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 5: most of our listeners are. I think it's puncturing through 148 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 5: the bubble of left wing of the lies, but I'm 149 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 5: not sure it certainly is doing more than in twenty twenty. 150 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: So here's our idea, and we're hoping that some of 151 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: our friends from the Trump campaign who listen to the 152 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: show as often as they can, some almost every day, 153 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: as I understand it. Here's our idea. And I will 154 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: note that people have been saying this. This has been 155 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: percolating on x on Elon's platform. Trump should hold a 156 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: town hall in Springfield Ohio, where we get to hear 157 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: from the residents of this town what's really going on. 158 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: They we get to have it presented for everybody to hear. 159 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear David Muir say I called 160 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: the city manager. What does the city manager do? 161 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 6: I mean? 162 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: And why would he be honest? 163 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 5: If he's trying to protect the city, why would he 164 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 5: say honestly anything that's true to your point? 165 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: You know, it's supposed to make sure there's. 166 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: No potholes, and like, you know, the electrical grid doesn't 167 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: go down or whatever, and you know, calls the utility company. 168 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what a city manager in 169 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: Springfield's doing day to day, but I do know that 170 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: he is not omniscient and doesn't have the answers to 171 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: what has gone on everywhere. He's not the cops, Okay, 172 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: he's not somebody who's even on the front line seeing 173 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: what's happening. And I just think it's kind of funny that, oh, well, 174 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: since you talk to the city manager, I guess we 175 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: have to think that everything's fine. In other words, a 176 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: city manager Democrat that anyone even find out do we 177 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: know it's a city. 178 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: What are the chances of Democrat pretty high. I'm not 179 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 2: saying he is. 180 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 3: Maybe he is. 181 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: Maybe is I think he is. Well there you go, 182 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: Oh what a shock. The city manager who's a Democrat. 183 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: He's probably a big tim wall. Anyway, I think that 184 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: we need to have Trump with the people of Springfield 185 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: having an open conversation. Remember if Fox News, that's the 186 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: obvious place for it to be house. Sorry, we're radio, 187 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: not video, so I have to seed this one. I 188 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: would love it to be what yes. 189 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 5: Although if nobody else will do it, you and I 190 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 5: would go and host a town hall in Springfield with Trump. 191 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 3: We would be happy to do that. 192 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: I'm totally we totally doing That's actually a good idea. 193 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: I like where Clay's head is out. But anyway, someone 194 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: just needs to do it. Because here's here's what happens 195 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: now when when you have when you have this this 196 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: call it content reporting, whatever you want to say. When 197 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: it's out there now, it filters out throughout the rest 198 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: of the ecosystem, and it puts pressure on the legacy 199 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: media that is carrying all of the water for the 200 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: Harris campaign right now to have to at least deal 201 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: with this reality because it can reach a critical mass 202 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: where if they don't address it, they're losing the messaging 203 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: war on it. We have to do this unfort all 204 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: the time they lie about Trump. We can't just let 205 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: the lie sit out there. We have to address it. 206 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: And you know the cycle is rinse, wash, and repeat 207 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: every day. Clay, we both know that we're talking, we're 208 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: texting about this yesterday. If we get the people of 209 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: Springfield out there. 210 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 6: Now, I forget. 211 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: Everyone wants to make it about the dogs and the 212 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: cats living together, mass hysteria, whatever, That's not. 213 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 2: Even what I want to focus on. 214 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: What has happened to this town under Biden Harris's watch. 215 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 5: Yes, that's it, and that's why I would go do it, 216 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 5: and I think for people out there. So Springfield is 217 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 5: emblematic of a lot of towns in America that had 218 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 5: a culture before the Biden Harris administration suddenly allowed in 219 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 5: ten million plus illegals and flew in an additional mass 220 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 5: number of illegals under different amnesty provisions. 221 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: Remember we talked yesterday to the Congressman about this parole 222 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: program that I have brought up to you, Clay. They 223 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: are bringing people in under a FEMI reunification loophole. That's 224 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: supposed to be case by case, hundreds of thousands of 225 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: people here. 226 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 3: And this is where I think is so important. 227 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 5: They're gonna immediately say, oh, it's racist because you're focusing 228 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 5: on the community with Haitians things like that. 229 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 3: Let me just ask this question, Buck. 230 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 5: If a town of fifty or sixty thousand in Japan 231 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 5: should suddenly got twenty thousand Germans shipped into that town, 232 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 5: do you think it would change the culture of that 233 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 5: town in Japan? 234 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: I would submit yes, and probably for the worst. 235 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 5: If a town in Nigeria suddenly got twenty thousand Italians 236 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 5: shipped into it of fifty or sixty thousand, do you 237 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 5: think that would change the culture of the town and 238 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 5: be difficult? 239 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 3: Yes. This is about. 240 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 5: Changing the culture of towns and how it is impacting 241 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 5: lives in a massive way, regardless of where the people 242 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 5: are from. 243 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: It's a story that needs to be told. 244 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 2: It's also about resources. 245 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: It's about people who are told by the government where 246 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: they live, you give us money, you pay your tolls 247 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: and your taxes and your and you obey our regulations 248 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: or else, and then they take that money. In the 249 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: case of say New York City, billions of dollars of 250 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: that money and they start giving it to people who 251 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: are not supposed to be here. And what people in 252 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: the case of Springfield have known us as well is 253 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: there seems to be a prioritization going on of, oh, well, 254 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: we have to go above and beyond for the new arrivals. 255 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: There are poor Americans in Springfield. Yeah, there are poor 256 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: Americans who are white, black, Latino. They're already there and 257 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: they're being told, yeah, you know, you may get cut 258 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: off from your Medicaid. But we got these Haitians that 259 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: have just arrived. We've got to go above and beyond 260 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: and do everything. We've got to subsidize their housing, we 261 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: got to give them EBT, give the clay. It's a 262 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: microcosm the point of Springfield. And this is why I 263 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: think it's so important. This is why I really think 264 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign needs to go. I don't tell them 265 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: what to do, but I really think this is a 266 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: good I agree right now. I think this really matters. 267 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: Springfield is a microcosm of what Biden Harris has done 268 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: to the country. In New York City, in Chicago, in 269 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: name a major city that has had a huge inflow 270 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: of migrants, and see when it's smaller, it's more acute, 271 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: it's more obvious. You can sense greater this strain on 272 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: public resources. But it's no different in New York City. 273 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: It's just masked by the number of people. 274 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 5: Sounds like the Simpsons, But there is a Springfield in 275 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 5: every state in America right now, there is a community 276 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 5: like this that has been impacted. Which is why I 277 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 5: think the Trump team should go and have a town 278 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 5: hall and let all these citizens talk. Because remember Buck, 279 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 5: this story didn't start because of the Internet. It started 280 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 5: because of the citizens showing up at the council meeting 281 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 5: discussing the challenges that are being wrought in this community. 282 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: You know what you'll see as well. We've seen these 283 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: videos they're circulating online. I guess you know, the legacy 284 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: media is going to tell us all these people are frauds. 285 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: They're Black Americans who live in Springfield who are like, 286 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: what's going on here, folks? Yes, there are there are 287 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: others as well, but I'm saying there are there are 288 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: black Americans who are saying, hey, this is my country. 289 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: Why isn't my government helping? Mean more, these people are 290 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: new arrivals who really aren't even supposed to be here, 291 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: and then you get into the kind of this legal 292 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: gray area as a TPS. And but they're upset and 293 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: their videos are I'm not coming up with this on 294 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: my own. The videos are out there of them making 295 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: their case, including at that town hall meeting, and the 296 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: media just tells us it's all fake, there's nothing. All right, Well, 297 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: let's let's see. Let's see how this Andala and Kamala 298 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: laughed about the whole thing. Kamala thinks the whole thing 299 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. And it's in the Midwest where the election 300 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: is going to be decided. I think it feels a 301 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: bit to me like the Trained derailment, when Trump did 302 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: such a good job going to that community that Biden 303 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: was ignoring. I think this is that all over again, 304 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: except directly connected to immigration. Nearly sundown right now in Jerusalem, 305 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: Tel Aviv and other cities in Israel, the beginning of 306 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: their Sabbath. Even with a day of rest, there's still 307 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: the threat of another missile attack from hostile forces in 308 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: nearby countries. The fear of the next attack is understandable, 309 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: whether it's missiles, drones, or a gunman. As a precaution, 310 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: many Israeli residents take to bomb shelters when there's notification 311 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: of emminent danger. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, 312 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: that's the IFCJ, has been helping to provide as many 313 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: Israeli citizens as possible with food and medicine for bomb 314 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: shelter stays that can last for several days.

In every day since, the IFCJ has been 318 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: feeding the hungry and protecting the vulnerable. 319 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 3: We need to help them. 320 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 5: One solid way to do that through the humanitarian efforts 321 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 5: provided by the IFCJ.

Yesterday, Merrick Garland was addressing the Department 334 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 5: of Justice their employees, and I actually watched this live. 335 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 5: Fox News carried much of it, and it actually made 336 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 5: me want to puke because it was so transparently fake 337 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,959 Speaker 5: everything that Attorney General Merrick Garland was saying. And I 338 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 5: hate that we're here. I honestly do.

I want for 341 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 5: the Department of Justice to apply the law fairly and 342 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 5: partially evenly. White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight male female, 343 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 5: Republican Democrat independent. I want the law to be applied evenly. 344 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 6: To me. 345 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 5: We have never had a more biased Department of Justice 346 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 5: in my life than the one that we have right now. 347 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 5: And here is what Merrick Garland was saying. I just 348 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 5: want you to listen and remember the Department of Justice. 349 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 5: Robert Hurr actually found that Joe Biden willfully retain classified 350 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 5: documents and the reason he said he shouldn't face criminal 351 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 5: charges is because his brain didn't work well enough for 352 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 5: there to be a conviction that happened. But Merrick Garland says, 353 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 5: there's no one rule that's different for friend or foes, 354 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 5: for the powerful and the powerless, for Democrats, and for 355 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 5: I mean, this is such a why listen to cut one. 356 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 4: We must treat like cases alike. There is not one 357 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 4: rule for friends and another for foes, one rule for 358 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 4: the powerful and another for the powerless, one rule for 359 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 4: the rich and another for the poor, one rule for 360 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 4: Democrats and another for Republicans, or different rules depending on 361 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 4: one's race or ethnicity. To the contrary, we have only 362 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 4: one rule. We follow the facts and apply the law 363 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 4: in a way that respects the Constitution and protects civil liberties. 364 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 5: Missus Sarbak, I think media matters. Actually, if you had 365 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 5: an honest sit down, If I got to sit down 366 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 5: with Merrick Garland and actually hold his feet to the 367 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 5: fire a little bit, which is what I think media 368 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,479 Speaker 5: should do, how can he remotely explain the difference if 369 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 5: all of what he just said was true. If I 370 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 5: played him that clip and said, okay, given that this 371 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 5: is your standard explain why Joe Biden had no consequences 372 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 5: for his wilful retention of classified documents, and you tried 373 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 5: to put Donald Trump in prison for the rest of 374 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 5: his life and rated Mara a lago. And I don't think, 375 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 5: I mean, this is what an honest media should do. 376 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 6: Buck. 377 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 5: When I heard that, it made me sick to my 378 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 5: stomach because he just says that and it's totally not true. 379 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 5: But there is no holding his feet to the fire 380 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 5: and making him answer for why he's not living up 381 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 5: to the principles he claims to a spouse. 382 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: There's no way to hold his feet to the fire, Clay, 383 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: because I think Merrick Garland, unfortunately is delusional. I think 384 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: he believes what he's saying there. I think that all 385 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: Democrats do really as a psychological defense mechanism, because what 386 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: they've done is so bad that they have to go 387 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: f they're in the direction against it, to try to 388 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: make themselves feel like they haven't weaponized the law, which 389 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: is exactly what they have done. We could sit there 390 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: and say, oh, I don't know. For example, do you 391 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: really think it is just Merrick Garland to have nonviolent 392 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:26,719 Speaker 1: January sixth defendants held in solitary confinement for I believe 393 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: up to eighteen months before their trial. Okay, eighteen months 394 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: before trial. Do you think that that is just because 395 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: there's really a threat that they would come out of 396 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: that prison, sell and overthrow the government. Merrick Garland would 397 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: look you in the eyes and he would say, that 398 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: is what the system told us. That is what the career. 399 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: They always love that career. Prosecutors career this yeah, career communists. 400 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it doesn't. 401 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: But they fall back on the process and they act 402 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: like no one's actually made these decisions. I mean, could 403 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland really defend you know, intellectually, could he defend 404 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: not only the senior DOJ figure who when to go 405 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: work in Bragg's office in New York. 406 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 5: Now that's a huge remotion at the Department of Justice 407 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 5: went back to a New York state court to prosecute Trump. 408 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 3: Not talked about a lot. It would never happen. 409 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 5: It's like being a Major League baseball player and deciding 410 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 5: that you want to go play in Double A instead. 411 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: It's exactly what happened. And could he really defend the 412 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: prosecution of Donald Trump on a misdemeanor cobbled together in 413 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: a way that is explicitly against prosecutorial guidelines, which is 414 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: you're not supposed to try to find ways to charge 415 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: the same crime over and over again. You know, the 416 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: perfect example of this is if you're going to charge 417 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: somebody for cocaine possession, you don't charge them for each 418 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: time they pass, you know, the cocaine between the two 419 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: of them, although theoretically you could try. That's exactly what 420 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: they did here at the Business Records. Yeah, and Andy 421 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: McCarthy explained this when he was on the show. I 422 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: think that's important. But also I don't know if you 423 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: saw this. Megan, Megan Kelly had on I was on. 424 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: Our show earlier this week. We had a good time. 425 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: Meghan had on Naval Rava Khan recently, who is a 426 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: super brilliant guy. I actually meant to text you some 427 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: clips from this play just to we're always like prepping 428 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: for show over the weekends. He's like at a baseball 429 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: game with his kids and I'm like, check out this clip. 430 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, anyway, Naval Rava Khan is brilliant guy. Silicon Valley. 431 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: He was on our show and he just said that 432 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: lawfair is the destruction of the republic I mean he 433 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 1: said that straight up. He said, if this is the 434 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: new game, if this is the way it goes, nothing 435 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: else really matters. Because whatever your election is, and whatever 436 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: your laws are, and whatever the Constitution says is irrelevant. 437 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: If people are going to operate in bad faith, who 438 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: have the power to prosecute, which is the power to destroy. 439 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: And so he even said basically, anybody in Silicon Valley 440 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: who cheers on this stuff against Trump is dead to him, 441 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: Like He's like, because you are advocating for something that 442 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: will destroy this country and that will ruin everything that 443 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: has been built. I completely agree with him. Let me 444 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: just say yes, I think that that sentiment integral. 445 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 5: And this also ties in with again, I think it's 446 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 5: important for you all to understand how much you're being 447 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 5: lied to by your own Department of Justice. Listen to 448 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 5: cut two buck, he says, we won't allow this Department 449 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 5: of Justice to be used as a political weapon. I 450 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 5: just I mean, you're trying to put the chief political 451 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 5: adversary of the sitting president in prison for the rest 452 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 5: of his life. The lying is just overwhelming. Listen to 453 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 5: cut two Our. 454 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 4: Norms are a promise that we will fiercely protect the 455 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 4: independence of this department from political interference in our criminal investigations. 456 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 4: Our norms are a promise that we will not allow 457 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 4: this department to be used as a plolitical weapon, and 458 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 4: or norms are a promise that we will not allow 459 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 4: this nation to become a country where law enforcement is 460 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 4: treated as an apparatus of politics. 461 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 5: Listen to everyone clapping for him. It is really like 462 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 5: I was watching it in that clapping that you just heard. 463 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 5: They went crazy when he made that comment, And look, 464 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 5: I wish it were true. But Buck, of all of 465 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 5: the offices out there, I think if Trump wins, who 466 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 5: he picks his attorney general is actually the most important 467 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 5: decision he has to make. 468 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 3: A critical decision. 469 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 2: He needs somebody who is. 470 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: Both aligned with the constitutional and maga maga mission and 471 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: understands how to operate the unwieldy device that is the 472 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: Department of Justice. But Clay, you know, if you if 473 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: you look just you know at history, so many times 474 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: this plays out where the most aggressive I mean, you 475 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: could look at this is certainly the case with Hitler 476 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: in World War Two. It's the case with Stalin. You know, 477 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: whenever he was invading any anytime, somebody is the aggressor. 478 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: They they come up with a narrative of themselves as 479 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: the victim, because then that creates this basis for I'm 480 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: not doing the bad thing, I'm doing the good thing. 481 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: And in the same way that you know Stalin sending 482 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: in tank somewhere because of the oppression of like Russian 483 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: speaking people there or you know whatever. It may be, right, 484 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: the the the the capitalist the capitalist swine of America 485 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: influencing some Uh, you have this with the DOJ here 486 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: and Merrick Garland. They're weaponizing the DOJ. And what they're 487 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: telling themselves and everybody else is they would never weaponize 488 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: the DJ And they're the ones who are upholding the 489 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: rule of law in the Constitution without political favor, you 490 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's yeah, they're the aggressors and 491 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: they act like they're the victims, or they're the they're 492 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: the bad guys and they act like they're the good guys. 493 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 5: This is important because a lot of what Trump gets 494 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 5: called on for fact checking and lying is hyperbolic perspective 495 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 5: that is actually right directionally. And let me explain what 496 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 5: I mean by that, because I think it really kind 497 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 5: of boils down to what you just said. What Merret 498 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 5: Garland is saying is the exact opposite of what he's doing. 499 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 5: It is directionally a lie, but he's able to say it, 500 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 5: and the media is like, oh, yes, of course. What 501 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 5: Trump gets called on frequently is he'll say something like 502 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 5: like he's out in Los Angeles and I just saw 503 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 5: a quote where he came out and he said, our 504 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 5: Trump golf course in Los Angeles is the best golf 505 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 5: course anywhere in LA and anywhere in California. It's far 506 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 5: better than Pebble Beach, and the revenue proves it. And 507 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 5: then somebody will come out and they'll say, well, actually, 508 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 5: Pebble Beach makes you know, twenty million dollars more a 509 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 5: year than I'm just tossing out numbers than Pebble Beach, 510 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 5: than the Trump's course in LA. And therefore Trump is 511 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 5: lying about this. It's like, well, he's actually just saying 512 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 5: the course is really good, and he's speaking like it's 513 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 5: the most beautiful, it's the most spectacular, it's the most profitable. 514 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 5: They go after him where he's very often correct on 515 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 5: a minor detail associated with the general trajectory he's on, 516 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 5: and sometimes I would argue he's undisciplined to allow those attacks. 517 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 5: But meanwhile, what the merit garlands of the world buck 518 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 5: are saying is far more significant and far more dishonest, 519 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 5: because what they're saying is the exact opposite of what 520 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 5: they're doing. In other words, Trump like, we built two 521 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 5: thousand amazing walls, and they're like, actually it was you know, 522 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 5: you rebuilt fifteen hundred and you only built four hundred 523 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 5: miles of walls or whatever. But his goal is the 524 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 5: intent and the right one, whereas democrats are lying to 525 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 5: you about what their intent is and doing the exact opposite, 526 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 5: which is a far more pernicious thing to be doing. 527 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 5: And that is the essence to me of what the 528 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 5: Kamala campaign. 529 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: When Trump says, my crowd size are the biggest ever, 530 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: oh yeah, maybe he gets a little caught up in himself. 531 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: When Obama said, if you like your healthcare plan, you 532 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: could keep your health care plan, that was a nasty 533 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: lie that hurt lots and lots of people. 534 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 5: Yes, and that is very important for all of you 535 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 5: out there. It's also why much of the fact checking 536 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 5: industry by and large is garbage. The individual particulars of 537 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 5: an incident matter far less than the directional intent in 538 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 5: my opinion, how do you protect yourself and your family? 539 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 5: It depends on your environment, but it's also just a 540 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 5: matter of being prepared for anything.

Buck 588 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 5: you want to dive right back in here. 589 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, Sam, I want to give you the opportunity to 590 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: just tell everybody about your story a bit and set 591 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: the table before we dive right into the thick of 592 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: your critical senate race in Nevada swing state. But what 593 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: does everyone what should everyone know about how you got 594 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: to where you are today and why you're running for senate? 595 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, it started with parents that that loved this country 596 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 6: and instilled that in me as a child. And so look, 597 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 6: I'm of the generation I called, you know, the post 598 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 6: nine to eleven generation. I was a senior in high 599 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 6: school when our country was attacked and I had gone 600 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 6: through the process applying to military academies, and before the 601 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 6: end of two thousand and one, I got accepted to 602 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 6: West Point and reported there in July of O two 603 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 6: and that kind of put me on the trajectory where 604 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 6: I ended up, you know, commissioning as an infantry officer 605 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 6: serving in Afghanistan. You know, just the greatest you know, 606 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 6: honor and privilege of my life was to be entrusted 607 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 6: with you know, those those men, uh and on mission 608 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 6: for this country. And in two thousand and eight, another 609 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 6: unit had been ambushed. They needed support, and we were 610 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 6: the closest ones to it. And you know, I still 611 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 6: believe that when you've got Americans under fire or under threat, 612 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 6: the right responses to run to the sound of the 613 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 6: guns and go provide that support. And that's what we did, 614 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 6: and unfortunately hit a roadside bomb in the process, but 615 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 6: you know it, Uh, it left one of my soldiers 616 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 6: killed and four of us wounded. But here, here's the 617 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 6: here's the thing I guess I want people to know, 618 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 6: and in part why I'm here, the greatest lesson I 619 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 6: ever learned in my life didn't come from a from 620 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 6: a former president, didn't come from you know, a commanding general. 621 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 6: It came from one of my soldiers, a young man 622 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 6: from South Texas. As I was burning there, laying in 623 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 6: the desert and getting the point where I knew I 624 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 6: couldn't put the flames out myself, and I didn't know 625 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,239 Speaker 6: if anyone else was going to get to me. I 626 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 6: was wrestling with the thoughts of how long is he 627 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 6: going to take to burn to death? What's the transition 628 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 6: from this left and the NeXT's going to be like? 629 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 6: And I gave up the will to live. And in 630 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 6: that next moment, I heard the voice of one of 631 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 6: my soldiers and he screamed out, sir, I've got you, 632 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 6: and it gave me a little spark of hope. But 633 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 6: his words weren't And if he just stood away in 634 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 6: safety and screamed out I've got you and didn't bring 635 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 6: himself to me through the fire and begin to put 636 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 6: out the flames, then I would have died. But he 637 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 6: did come to me. It was his actions that actually 638 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 6: saved my life. And look, I've detailed that story and 639 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 6: kind of the rest of my life in this book 640 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 6: that I just released last week on the sixteenth anniversary 641 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 6: of my Live Day. It's called A Live Day. Anyone 642 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 6: can get it on Amazon. But that moment has propelled 643 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 6: me to where I'm at today, and I believe that 644 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 6: America is hurting. There's a lot of people that are 645 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 6: in that moment of crisis in their life, and we've 646 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 6: got people who will just call out, like you know, 647 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 6: I've got you, but won't do anything about it. My 648 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 6: book is about it's not a political book. It's about 649 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 6: giving people hope who are desperate to just survive. And 650 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 6: in my book is sharing that story that message, and 651 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 6: me running for the Senate is me following through. I'm 652 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 6: doing more than just talking but taking action. 653 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 5: We're talking to Captain Sam Brown and that story you 654 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 5: just told us is incredibly compelling, and I want to 655 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 5: go back to it for a moment. You said in 656 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 5: that moment you were thinking how long does it take 657 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 5: to burn to death? I can't even imagine what a 658 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 5: feeling like that would be. But as you are now 659 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 5: running for the Senate, I would imagine that whatever can 660 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 5: be said about you when you have stared down death 661 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 5: as you did, it can't really come close to really 662 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 5: kind of getting to you. What do you think that 663 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 5: moment has meant for your ability to serve Nevada and 664 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 5: still continue to serve your country. I guess that connection 665 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 5: to me is really compelling. Take us into that worldview if. 666 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 6: You could, absolutely so, so when you're when you're teetering 667 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 6: at that moment, and I literally I gave up the 668 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 6: will to list because that's what's going to be relief 669 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 6: from what I was at and and so to survive, 670 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,879 Speaker 6: you know, this kind of this miraculous way. I've never 671 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 6: lacked conviction that my life was spared for a reason. 672 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 6: And so you know, this was this was kind of 673 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 6: my my point of really finding faith in God. And 674 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 6: and that has that that went from being kind of 675 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 6: just I head knowledge. I call it, you know, acknowledging 676 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 6: you know, historical facts and becoming something that I really 677 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 6: truly believe in my heart. And but I believe that's 678 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 6: true for everyone, that we're all here for a purpose 679 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 6: and a reason. Uh. And and that experience in the 680 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 6: three years that followut, I mean, my recovery took three years. 681 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 6: I was in and out of the High hospital over 682 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 6: thirty surgeries. It was grueling, and that was just the 683 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 6: beginning of the rest of my life. But it steeled me, 684 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 6: it hardened me for just such a time as this. 685 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 6: And we all have the option in life. Are we 686 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,760 Speaker 6: going to engage, are we going to use the talents 687 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 6: we have or the endurance we've built for a for 688 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 6: a higher purpose, and having come through that, I never 689 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 6: lack conviction. And if anything, the you know, the the 690 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 6: circumstances that we find ourselves in just gives me additional 691 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 6: conviction and helps me dig in even more and in 692 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 6: my pursuit of trying to serve others who who frankly 693 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 6: need a champion. 694 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: We're speaking to Captain Sam Brown, who is running in Nevada, 695 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 1: telling us about his story. His book is A Live Day, Sam, 696 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 1: you are. I mean, it's an amazing story, and this audience, 697 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: you know, in particular appreciates it. A lot of current 698 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: or former military and a lot of military families listening in. 699 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: You're stepping into the arena. You're in the arena right now, 700 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: running against an entrenched democrat in Nevada. It is always 701 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: uphill going against a democrat. I wanted you to tell 702 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: everybody how this race is shaping up so far, and 703 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 1: what the differences are between the leadership that you would 704 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 1: bring the United States Senate versus your opponent, Jackie Rosen. 705 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 6: Yeah. So most of the listeners, because they're you know, 706 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 6: politically attuned, are going to be familiar with the name 707 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 6: Harry Reid, and so you know, Jackie Rosen is her 708 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 6: start point is Harry Reid. She was a protege of 709 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 6: his and even though he's dead now, you know, his 710 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 6: legacy still lives on and he created, you know, somewhat 711 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 6: of a machine here that brought her into the Senate 712 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 6: in twenty eighteen. She had served one term in the 713 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 6: House starting in twenty sixteen, but she's really been absent 714 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 6: from the state and as you can imagine, someone who 715 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,919 Speaker 6: didn't have to really work hard and create her own 716 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,879 Speaker 6: path to representing the people of Nevada, she's just well 717 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:30,439 Speaker 6: conditioned to follow leadership, whether it's Chuck Schumer or Joe 718 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 6: Biden and Kamala Harris. She has been just a follower 719 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 6: along the way. Now, the impact that it's had here 720 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 6: in the state is we've got the second highest unemployment 721 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 6: rate in the nation, We've got the second highest energy 722 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 6: costs in the nation, and people have been really economically 723 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 6: hurt by this. She also sits on the Homeland Security Committee, 724 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 6: a committee in a position where she got to be 725 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 6: able to push back, bring accountability, provide oversight on the 726 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 6: border crisis. And yet when President Trump was still in office. 727 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 6: She she tried to slow roll and pushed back on 728 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 6: his initiatives and under you know, Kamala Harris, as the 729 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 6: borders are in Joe Biden's leadership, She's done nothing to 730 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 6: bring accountability there. My offer to the folks is quite 731 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 6: the opposite. We we do need someone who understands the 732 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 6: hardships of these economic policies. Look, here's an interesting contrast. 733 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 6: Six years ago, while she was running for Senate as 734 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 6: a congresswoman, I was working in an Amazon warehouse. I 735 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 6: know what it's like to work hard, you know, a 736 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 6: ten hour shift to be able to afford just just enough. Today. 737 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 6: You know, I'm a successful businessman. I had started a 738 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 6: business over these last six years. But you know, things 739 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 6: are still tight for my family, just like a lot 740 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 6: of Novadas. I bring that perspective, and that's what we 741 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 6: need to someone who understands the impact of the policies 742 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 6: and can lead on them. 743 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 5: We're talking to Captain Sam Brown. You're going to be 744 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 5: with President Trump later today in Nevada, which is a 745 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 5: battleground state for people out there that are listening to 746 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,720 Speaker 5: us right now. We know the Senate race in twenty 747 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 5: twenty two came down to a razor's edge. I would 748 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 5: imagine that you're polling and your data shows that the 749 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 5: whole state of Nevada is going to come down to 750 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 5: a couple of thousand votes one way or the other. 751 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 5: In all sincerity, how can people help you? What do 752 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 5: you see on the ground and what are you expecting 753 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 5: with this rally that Trump is going to have with 754 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,320 Speaker 5: you later this afternoon, this evening. 755 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, people are hungry for leadership. And you're right. Just 756 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 6: two years ago it was the closest Senate race in 757 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,240 Speaker 6: the nation. It was a razor's edge. We're standing polling 758 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 6: kind of shaping up like that again. But we've got 759 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 6: additional things in our favor. The reasons that race was 760 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 6: lost last cycle was we had Republicans not turning out. 761 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 6: There's over one hundred thousand Republicans that just didn't come 762 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 6: out to vote. And so we've got to get everyone 763 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 6: committed to voting and and you know, being involved to 764 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 6: the extent they can. People can go to Captain Sam 765 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 6: Brown dot com to contribute from across the nation, But 766 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 6: if you live in Nevada, you know people in Nevada. 767 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,280 Speaker 6: At the end of the day, it's not who raises 768 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 6: the most money that wins. That's who has the most 769 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 6: votes that wins, and our polling is showing that it's 770 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 6: very close. But we're we're pushing into into, you know, 771 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 6: groups of independents who haven't traditionally voted for Republicans, and 772 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 6: Republicans haven't really pursued. But I believe that, you know, 773 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 6: sort of a business philosophy, anyone can be a customer, 774 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 6: any voter can any any registered voter out there could 775 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 6: vote for me. I need to go make the taste. 776 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,879 Speaker 6: We've been doing that and we've seen the polls really 777 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 6: tighten up and we're right within the margin of error. 778 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 5: Now, outstanding stuff, Captain Sam Brown. If we were in Nevada, 779 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 5: we'd be voting for you. We know your mom is 780 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 5: thank her for listening.

I mean, 857 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: the darkness is so it is so opaque, that light 858 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 1: is so easy to see.

I just saw it. 874 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,839 Speaker 1: Not pie in the sky, by and by optimism. This 875 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: is stake on the plate reality that I see and 876 00:47:58,560 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 1: that I believe with all of my heart. 877 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, Clay speaking a steak on the blake, but it wasn't. 878 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 2: I was just wanting you to know. 879 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 1: No, I know, I've just got to buy Clay expensive 880 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: steak soon in like a week. 881 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 5: That's what that made the board decision that he thought 882 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:14,840 Speaker 5: Joe Biden was going to stay in the race, and 883 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 5: I said, of course not, He's going to drop out. 884 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 3: But Kirk, I saw you.

But I want 890 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 5: to also congratulate you. You have six kids of your own, 891 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 5: but you just became a grandfather. Yes, what is the 892 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,360 Speaker 5: experience like you obviously have had a bunch of kids already. 893 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 3: What does it feel like to be a grandfather. 894 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 1: It's thrilling, it's exciting, It's it's an exciting experience to 895 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 1: have kids. Now when you have a grandfather, it's it's 896 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 1: definitely next level. I've heard that my whole life, and 897 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 1: now I'm experiencing it. I mean, she's got cheeks for weeks. 898 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 1: She's already a Bills fan. She's part of the mafia. 899 00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: She was stressed out before the game the other day 900 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,600 Speaker 1: and she just crashed when the whole thing was done. 901 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 1: We are loving being grandparents. My wife and I are 902 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 1: just just over the moon. 903 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,960 Speaker 5: It is cool and welcome. Like I said to Nashville, 904 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 5: tell us about this book. So you have written a 905 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,759 Speaker 5: bunch of children's books now for people out there who 906 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 5: have been grew up basically watching you. Now you've gone 907 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,759 Speaker 5: from I would say teen idol on growing Pains to 908 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 5: now a grandpa. What has that trajectory of your life 909 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,399 Speaker 5: been like and at what point did you decide, hey, 910 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,280 Speaker 5: I really want to kind of focus on telling stories 911 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 5: to younger kids. 912 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 1: Well, I'm so, I'm so excited that I made it 913 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,400 Speaker 1: this far. I'm now a grandfather. 914 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,800 Speaker 2: You know I didn't. I didn't pass. 915 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: Away in my youth like a like a like a 916 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:52,839 Speaker 1: teenage actor who just got so strung out on which happens. 917 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 6: In the time. 918 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 5: Honestly, there's not very many that grow up, have six kids, 919 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 5: have one wife and become a grandkid who were a grandfather, 920 00:49:59,239 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 5: who were popstar. 921 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: So I mean that is a rare pathway. That is 922 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,880 Speaker 1: a blessing that I'm so grateful for. And yes, I 923 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 1: wrote this book that you're speaking of. It's called Born 924 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,440 Speaker 1: to Be Brave. I have been spending the last couple 925 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,439 Speaker 1: of years writing children's books and reading them to three 926 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 1: to five year olds to teach them things like the 927 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 1: fruit of the spirit, love, kindness, faithfulness, self control, and humility, 928 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,839 Speaker 1: contra drag queens, teaching them about pride and self empowerment 929 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:31,880 Speaker 1: rather than self control. And finding myself inundated by parents 930 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,319 Speaker 1: who say that they feel silenced and marginalized, afraid, they're 931 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,359 Speaker 1: not sure what to do, and then they throw some 932 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,839 Speaker 1: of them throw a religious element into it and say, 933 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 1: but that's the way the Bible says it's supposed to be. 934 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 1: It's just gonna get worse and there's really nothing we 935 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 1: can do about it, and I go time out. No, 936 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: I think that's totally misplaced. That hopelessness is found nowhere 937 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,759 Speaker 1: in the history of the family of Faith, or the 938 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,760 Speaker 1: scriptures or what I'm seeing right now. And I realized, 939 00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 1: I need to put gas in the tank of the parents. 940 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,680 Speaker 1: I need to put win in the sales of the grandparents, 941 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 1: the people who actually understand why this is the greatest 942 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 1: country in the world, so that they can have the 943 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:14,239 Speaker 1: bravery encourage to get our kids to a place of 944 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,319 Speaker 1: blessing and protection and teach them the things that we 945 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 1: are losing in this country. It's nice to hear a 946 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:26,960 Speaker 1: sense of optimism about how the battle for spirituality or 947 00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: the spiritual battle is playing out in this country and 948 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,920 Speaker 1: that I guess the good guys and gals can win here. 949 00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: I mean you're mentioning obviously, the book, I assume is 950 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 1: a bit of a template or some encouragement perhaps you know, 951 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 1: coaching from the sidelines here for how people can get 952 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: more involved in these battles themselves, or just give them 953 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,840 Speaker 1: a framework, a template for doing it. The book is 954 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,120 Speaker 1: Born to be Brave, how to be a part of 955 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 1: America's spiritual comeback. And so, as a new grandparent, I 956 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:00,200 Speaker 1: got to say, you know, you've got a lot of 957 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:01,800 Speaker 1: grandparents listening right now. 958 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 2: I feel like the older I. 959 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,360 Speaker 1: Get, the more wisdom I feel comes from the older 960 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,839 Speaker 1: generation in a lot of ways. I'll be honest with you. 961 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 1: How does that play into the spiritual comeback? Yeah, many 962 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 1: grandparents feel like, well, I did my time and I've 963 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 1: had my opportunity to make a difference. 964 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,240 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, you're just getting started. 965 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: If you are somebody who loves God, loves your family, 966 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,880 Speaker 1: and loves this country, listen, don't get bitter when you 967 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 1: watch the news. 968 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:30,000 Speaker 2: Get better. 969 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,000 Speaker 1: Don't be a whiner, be a winner, don't complain about 970 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,719 Speaker 1: the culture. Create the culture. You have, the time, you have, 971 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,279 Speaker 1: the opportunity with the next generation. They need you pour 972 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 1: into them. That's what I need to be doing. Let 973 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:48,240 Speaker 1: me ask you this question, Clay, what if the current 974 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:53,400 Speaker 1: cultural setback is really a divine setup for a spiritual 975 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:57,319 Speaker 1: comeback led by the family of faith. What if the 976 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 1: political corruption, the moral collapse, the economic decline, the spiritual 977 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:06,920 Speaker 1: apathy is really a wake up call for those of 978 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,080 Speaker 1: us who know exactly what's going on. 979 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,400 Speaker 2: We've been red pilled. We see what's happening. 980 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:16,640 Speaker 1: The promises of the enemy are turning out to be fake, 981 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 1: and now it's our time to red pill everybody else. 982 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 1: But we've got to do it the right way. The 983 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,319 Speaker 1: only way out of the matrix. First of all, is 984 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,600 Speaker 1: to start with a heart of humility and love. And 985 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 1: then we've got to speak the truth with boldness and 986 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:34,040 Speaker 1: with courage, Starting with myself, my family, and then work 987 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 1: our way out through our communities, to the state and 988 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,400 Speaker 1: to the local level. And I believe that if we 989 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 1: lean into this bravery and courage that God has given 990 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:48,279 Speaker 1: his faithful followers, we can and we will realign the 991 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:55,279 Speaker 1: nation with biblical, constitutional American values. It's happened before it 992 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,440 Speaker 1: can happen again. It's called a great awakening, and. 993 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,760 Speaker 3: We're due for one. That was really well said, Kirk. 994 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 5: And given your background in Hollywood, I have a question 995 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 5: for you. I just mentioned we saw the Ami Racist 996 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,880 Speaker 5: premiere Matt Walsh's documentary. 997 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,840 Speaker 1: Such a great movie should be required viewing for every American. 998 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,359 Speaker 5: I thought it was fantastic. He's going to be on 999 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 5: with us Monday. But it seems to me, and I'm 1000 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 5: curious if you feel this based on your background, that 1001 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 5: even in Hollywood. I was reading in the Wall Street 1002 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 5: Journal magazine about they're making an HBO. I think it 1003 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 5: was series about the biblical David. There certainly has been 1004 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,479 Speaker 5: a lot, it feels to me, whether it's the Sound 1005 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:45,239 Speaker 5: of Freedom, whether it's so many different movies out there, 1006 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,360 Speaker 5: ordinary angels that came out. I believe the Irwin brothers 1007 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 5: are involved in those films who are also located to 1008 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 5: a large degree here in Nashville. Do you sense that 1009 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 5: Hollywood is recognizing that there is a great cultural hunger 1010 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,400 Speaker 5: for stories such as these, and that that is allowing 1011 00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 5: people to maybe connect their emptiness inside with recognizing where 1012 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 5: it's coming from. Am I crazy? Or is that starting 1013 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 5: to happen even from the cultural perspective? 1014 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,720 Speaker 1: From what you see, I feel exactly what you're feeling, 1015 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 1: and I see what you see, And what I believe 1016 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,000 Speaker 1: is that Hollywood has been ripping off the Biblical narrative 1017 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:25,719 Speaker 1: since the very beginning. They have wisely recognized the stories 1018 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 1: that resonate most violently with the human hearts in a 1019 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 1: good way. Stories of redemption, the hero's journey. You see 1020 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 1: it in every Marvel movie, in every Batman movie. You 1021 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,080 Speaker 1: see it everywhere. And it's the against all odds, when 1022 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 1: all hope seems lost, story when the underdog undergoes a 1023 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 1: transformation and comes back from the impossible to win the day. 1024 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 1: And it's in Lord of the Rings, it's in Narnia, 1025 00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,719 Speaker 1: it's everywhere. And that's why I try to make the 1026 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,360 Speaker 1: movies that I make, the books that I write, and 1027 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:07,879 Speaker 1: the cartoons and children's programs that I'm producing. So that's 1028 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,319 Speaker 1: why people need to go see movies like that, the 1029 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 1: movies you just talked about, Sound of Freedom, or the 1030 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,960 Speaker 1: Kendricks Brothers new movie that's out called The Forge, about 1031 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 1: men mentoring and discipling the younger generation of men to 1032 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,239 Speaker 1: give them a sense of identity and purpose and destiny. 1033 00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: And that's why I want people to get this book 1034 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:29,360 Speaker 1: I wrote, Born to Be Brave, because when we support 1035 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 1: projects like this, when we listen to radio stations like yours, 1036 00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 1: what does that do? Not only does it equip us 1037 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,719 Speaker 1: and educate us and open our eyes so we can 1038 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:43,840 Speaker 1: do something, it then sends massive financial shock waves to 1039 00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,880 Speaker 1: the industry and blows open the doors. So we have 1040 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,840 Speaker 1: more radio stations like yours, We have more books like 1041 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:53,239 Speaker 1: Born to Be Brave, We have more movies like The 1042 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:57,320 Speaker 1: Passion of the Christ or Sound of Freedom or whatever 1043 00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,840 Speaker 1: it is to combat the evil and begin to turn 1044 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,160 Speaker 1: the tide of the culture. 1045 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:02,880 Speaker 7: Uh. 1046 00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 2: Remember, a tiny vocal minority group with. 1047 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:10,719 Speaker 1: Ridiculous ideas that are fake and lies have managed to 1048 00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:15,719 Speaker 1: transform what is normal today. Think of what we could 1049 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 1: do if we got a plan, work together and our 1050 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:20,160 Speaker 1: cause was just. 1051 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 2: I feeling I so can I can I ask. 1052 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 1: Here's what I'd love more than anything. This is the 1053 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,840 Speaker 1: first book that I've ever written for adults, and I 1054 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 1: want more than anything to write more books like this, 1055 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,040 Speaker 1: And I want all of my friends, who are better 1056 00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,960 Speaker 1: authors than I am, to write more books like this. 1057 00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,720 Speaker 1: And the way that we can do that is if 1058 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 1: this makes it to whatever the numbers are, to put 1059 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:46,360 Speaker 1: me on the New York. 1060 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:47,240 Speaker 2: Times bestseller list. 1061 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,760 Speaker 1: That sends a message to the publishing industry that America 1062 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:54,440 Speaker 1: wants more about about a spiritual comeback in America, a 1063 00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 1: reviving of American first principles that leads to our blessing 1064 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 1: and protection.

Preborn is the name 1081 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,680 Speaker 1: of this organization. They've got a team that's nationwide, working 1082 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,560 Speaker 1: in clinics and communities and neighborhoods where there are very 1083 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,080 Speaker 1: high abortion rates, but that's where they can go to 1084 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 1: save the most lives. Over the course of the last 1085 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:54,240 Speaker 1: twenty years, they've saved three hundred thousand unborn babies. Preborn's 1086 00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 1: network of clinics does this by first providing counseling and 1087 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,120 Speaker 1: a free ultrasound to women with un plan pregnancies, because 1088 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,320 Speaker 1: when mom sees that tiny baby on the screen, sees 1089 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 1: the heart beating, it's just so much easier for her 1090 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 1: to make the choice for life. I've met some of 1091 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 1: these women, I've been to a preborn clinic. I've seen 1092 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 1: myself the incredible and divine experience of watching these teams 1093 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 1: save lives day in and day out. They need your help, 1094 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 1: though they need funding. They can't do this alone. An 1095 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,440 Speaker 1: ultrasound for a baby at preborn cost just twenty eight dollars, 1096 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,919 Speaker 1: and that one ultrasound for a mom in crisis could 1097 00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: be the difference between life or abortion for that baby. 1098 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,080 Speaker 1: If you can donate that amount, that would be so 1099 00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 1: so kind. But could you donate five times that amount? 1100 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,320 Speaker 1: Some of you can one hundred and forty dollars that 1101 00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 1: would contribute to saving five babies lives. Using your cell phone, 1102 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 1: just dial pound two five zero and save baby. That's 1103 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,440 Speaker 1: pound two five zero, say baby.
