1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and Load. Michael

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: Vari show is on the air.

3
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: Aristotle once said, find someone in life who loves you

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 2: as much as Democrats love the criminal. Now, to be clear,

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: they don't love the criminal as a person. What they

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: love is the chaos he brings to society, because it's

7
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: in that chaos where they grab power and money for themselves.

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 3: The whole idea of picking cities based on their partisan

9
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: leadership is absurd.

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there are lots of Republican cities in town

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: struggling with crime. Everybody is across the country always. Crime

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: has always been part of our history. Shoes voters care

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: about where does Trump go? Migrant crime, carjackings, the really lurid,

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,319
Speaker 1: awful stuff that is a crazy, crazy visual. Don't take

15
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: the beat.

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: How do we deal with mental health and other issues

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: that drive the sort of random incidence that scare all

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 2: of us.

19
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: That's what you should be talking about. That's where you

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: should be focused. Don't take the beat and talking.

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: About migrant crime or carjackings are the things that actually

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 3: don't matter to that Many Americans.

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: Don't condemn the gang bangers. They've got guns.

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence.

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: We've already tried that.

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: If we've ended up with the largest prison population in

27
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 3: the world without solving the problems of crime and violence,

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: the addiction on jails and incarceration in this country, we

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 3: have moved past that. It is racist, it is immoral,

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: it is unholy, and it is not the way to

31
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: drive Violeace.

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: Demila Harris has embarrassed herself so badly. I mean, it's

33
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: a damn shame. I love to see it. Though she's

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: continuing her media tour to sell her book, and the

35
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: Democrats are all punching back because part of selling the

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: book is she had to trash everybody in the establishment

37
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: that she told us was great. Before yesterday we had

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: the news that Pete Buttergig was too gay to be

39
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: her vice president, which is bad enough that she would

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: say that, But then you stop and go, wait a second,

41
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: Tim wats was your vice president. You're saying that Pete

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: Buttergig is gayer than Tim Waltz. Now that is a headline.

43
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: That's an insult right there. She went in on Trump's

44
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: speech at the United Nations, saying that they all laughed

45
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: at him the last time he spoke at the United Nations.

46
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: Uh I got a minute thirty clip of her saying

47
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: that I'm not gonna waste your time nor mind you

48
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: trust me that she said it, it's important for your

49
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: own mental health. I'm in the middle of the game,

50
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: so I want to make sure you still love the

51
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: sport I do. I hope you will still tune in

52
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: if nothing else to our show, but I understand it

53
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, the sport it's fun. I'd

54
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: be lying if I didn't confess to you that my

55
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: dream weekend is to watch college football from the moment

56
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: I wake up on Saturday till the moment I fall asleep,

57
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: and however late it's on, I'll watch it. Middle Tennessee

58
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: Valley State versus Lower Vermont Academy of the Blind. Hell yeah, okay,

59
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: just tell me what are they going to I guess

60
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: every play is going to be a running play for

61
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: them because it's hard to throw it unless they some

62
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: sort of signal in the ball, which, frankly, if you did,

63
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: I'd watch that is to figure it all out. I

64
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: don't care put a censor down in the end zone.

65
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: I just love to watch football being played. I love

66
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: it and I understand that a lot of people love

67
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: to watch the political game being played. You also have

68
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: to realize that while while media is a mirror of

69
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: what you want, media gives you back what you go

70
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: looking for. Never forget that. That's why people tend to

71
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: self select what media they consume, and some people consume

72
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: media of things they absolutely hate. And it's a I

73
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: think I've told you the story. I'll try to make

74
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: it quick. My wife's my wife grew up in India

75
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: and her mother would be posted wherever her father was.

76
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: Her father was pretty high in the air Force and

77
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: wherever they went. Her mother who also had an Air

78
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: Force commission, but she had a private practice as well

79
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: to help the family financially, and so she would open

80
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: a clinic in their house. So the air force house

81
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: would be like if you think of like a movie

82
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: theater that has two theaters and in the middle is

83
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: the uh is the concessions and the ticket sales. Well,

84
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: the family would be on one end of the of

85
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: the house and on the other end would be a clinic,

86
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: an infirmary, a nursing home, a convalescent home, whatever you

87
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: want to call it. So she would treat people and

88
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: have hospital beds in one end of their house. So

89
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: my wife has all these stories of growing up in

90
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: the you know, out in the village in India, you've

91
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: never met poor people the way if you go out

92
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: into a village in India you meet poor people. There

93
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: are people who have no skill in writing anything. If

94
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: you were to tell them to write an ex for

95
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: their name, they wouldn't know what that means. They're that illiterate.

96
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: And the pigeon patchwis gibberish they speak is not even

97
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: i'm told, understandable to most people around them. These are poor, poor,

98
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: poor people of the earth. And she said that there

99
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: was a guy who had come and so she would

100
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: her mother would treat lepers, and nobody wants to treat lepers,

101
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: but leprosy was still common, and her mother would do it.

102
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: They're in their house, and my wife said it was

103
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: frightening to see people because you know, fingers would just

104
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: fall off, so you just they got nubs. It's terrible.

105
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: And so she said, there's this guy that would keep

106
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: coming back. My wife thought he was a leper, but

107
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: she didn't think to ask her mom because her mom

108
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: didn't she didn't want to have to talk about that stuff.

109
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: But my wife said, how come that leoper? He's always

110
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: got open sores on where his knuckles are, where his

111
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: fingers are gone. That's weird. Others don't have that. And

112
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: her mom said, honey, he's not a leper. He's an addict.

113
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: He was so poor he couldn't afford alcohol whoch, so

114
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: he would put his hand down into snake pit and

115
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: get bitten by the hand by the snake because the

116
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: venom would give him a drug, he said. And I

117
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: had to be ashamed him about. Well, that's what some

118
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: people are doing by watching CNN, AN MSNBC. It makes

119
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: them miserable, but they can't they can't stop watching it.

120
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: But it's not a bad bob. The point I was

121
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: going to make it before I got somewhat sidetracked, which

122
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: seems to be the story of my life. It's all

123
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: about the journey, not the destination, is that whatever truth

124
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: you are pursuing, you can find someone willing to give

125
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: it to you. It might not be truth in the abstract,

126
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: it might not be truth in reality. It might be

127
00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: truth that is truth that is relative, as in, you

128
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: know you make three hundred thousand dollars a year, are

129
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: you rich well relative to somebody that makes ten thousand

130
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: dollars a year, but not relative to Elon Musk. So

131
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: I guess it just depends on your definition of rich.

132
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: You can find in the smorgasboard board of the marketplace

133
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: of media, someone to feed whatever view of the world

134
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: you want. So to that extent, people self select the

135
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: news that they want, and that news therefore becomes a

136
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: mirror of what they brought to the table. It's just

137
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: true of everyone, not just school shooters and the guy

138
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: who assassinated Charlie Kirk. But when we look at the

139
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: case of that guy, well, you end up finding is

140
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: an echo chamber of wherever you start, you end up,

141
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: and there's no growth. The problem is a steady diet

142
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: of what you already believed, without any socratic method that

143
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: forces you to question, to consider context. There becomes a

144
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: what's it called preference bias? What is the oh, it's

145
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: the illusory truth effect. They call it the illusory truth

146
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: effect or the repetition truth effect. When you hear something

147
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: it may not be true. Let's take for the sake

148
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: of this argument, something is not true, but you keep

149
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: hearing it enough times you believe it to be true

150
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: simply because of the repetition of it, the consistent repetition

151
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: of it, and so it becomes more familiar, and in

152
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: that familiarity there is comfort, and there is trust to

153
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: the point that you're unaware that there is an alternative position.

154
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: And so the more of that you get piled on

155
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: top of itself, the deeper your belief in the certainty

156
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: of what you're seeing, such that even after a point

157
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: that you are exposed to another opinion, you're too far gone.

158
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: You simply believe that those people have not received the

159
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: truth as you have. There's a similar but separate concept

160
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: called the frequency illusion. What is the term for it, Ramon.

161
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: It is the uh yes, thank you, the Botto Minhoff phenomena.

162
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: Are you sure that's right? I'm gonna take your word

163
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: for it. It's something like that, the botder Minehoff phenomenon

164
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: that makes it really sound, which is that when you

165
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: notice something. I'll give you example, if you buy a

166
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: white truck, Let's say you buy a white Chevy Silverado,

167
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: you will all of a sudden notice in the next

168
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: three days that everybody's driving a white Chevy Silverado. Well,

169
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: they didn't sell any more Silverados except for yours. It's

170
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: just that now you notice it when you weren't noticing it,

171
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: and so that creates this illusion that there are more

172
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: of them than there are. If you, for instance, start

173
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: noticing tesla's because you get a Tesla, all of a sudden,

174
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: you hadn't really even thought about how many Tesla's they

175
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: are on their room, but immediately there are Teslas. And

176
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: that's true of whatever your vehicle. There are a number

177
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: of things like that. If you start noticing interracial marriages

178
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: or people wearing crew cuts because you get one, and

179
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: now you're subconsciously on the lookout for this, and all

180
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden it's everywhere. Well, this is what happens

181
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: with the guy that shot Charlie Kirk. I'm sure I

182
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: don't know a lot about him, but from what you

183
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: can tell by piecing it together. But it's not just

184
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: true of him. It's true of the guy behind you

185
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: in the grocery store who's convinced you're a racist because

186
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: you glance back to see what's in his bag or

187
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: what's in his basket. It's true of the guy who,

188
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: when he walks right up to your car, makes a

189
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: beeline for your car and you're in the intersection and

190
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: you lock your doors. He is convinced it's because he's black.

191
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: You may lock your doors if he's white, if he's young,

192
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: if he's old, because you don't know who that is,

193
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: and that is a natural form of self defense. But

194
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: he's been told repeatedly and consistently, often throughout the course

195
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: of his life, that everybody hates him because he's black,

196
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: and he has been told to process every stimulus that

197
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: comes at him through that filter. And this is why

198
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: often you will notice, let's just take blacks and whites.

199
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: This is why often you will notice that a black

200
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: person will accuse you of racism, and your immediate thought is, not, well,

201
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: let's leave aside view of blacks generally, or blacks who

202
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: commit crime, or blacks who play sports, or blacks who

203
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: are good singers, or blacks who preach, or blacks who

204
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: live in my neighbor. Let's leave all that aside for

205
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: a moment, and let's first address the fact that, honestly,

206
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't even thinking about you. So you're welcome to

207
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: perceive me as a racist if you'd like to do that,

208
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: that's fine, but you need to understand that I don't

209
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: live my life thinking about you or other black people

210
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: all day every day. I don't live my life. I

211
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: don't sit in my house and scheme how people with

212
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: your same skin color can commit more murders, make babies

213
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: they don't raise, be sent to prison, shoot each other

214
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: and drive by killings, become rappers who sing about women

215
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: with big butts who they're going to impregnate and never

216
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: hang around for and then probably beat half to death.

217
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: I just don't think about it. So you're welcome to

218
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: think that. I think you're a horrible person, but honest,

219
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: ized thing about football. Continue with the Michael Berry Show.

220
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a part of this nonsense,

221
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: all right? Thank you for what happens when a person

222
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: is in a constant feedback loop of bad information. What

223
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: is a society to do when you understand that most

224
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: people live in a silo? You know, Let's take a guy.

225
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: I'm just going to pick some random spots. Let's take

226
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: a guy living in Waller County outside of Houston by

227
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: thirty minutes to an hour, depending on the traffic, and

228
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: he's got what he calls a farm. It's three to

229
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: five acres. He's got some chickens and a horse of

230
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: his kids play with, and uh, maybe he's got a

231
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: few goats, and he drives a bigger truck than he needs.

232
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: And he's got a little tractor and he plays farmer,

233
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: and maybe the homeschool. And it's a perfect little life.

234
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: It's it's bucolic. It's you know, you got the fresh hay.

235
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: And maybe he cuts the grass for the for the

236
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: little lady next door because he loves riding on his

237
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: little tractor and his kids play outside and they feel safe.

238
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: And mom goes online and gets the curriculum, and they

239
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: live this perfect little life and most of what they

240
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: get as information is a feedback of what they already want.

241
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: They wake up and read their Bible, They do their bible,

242
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: stay in the morning. Look gets garbage in, garbage out

243
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: for a computer. But that garbage doesn't have to be garbage.

244
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,119
Speaker 1: It could be wholesome. People who go out seeking wholesome

245
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: content get wholesome content, and they find wholesome results, and

246
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: you'll find that those people can be very happy, maddeningly happy.

247
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: This might be your grandmother. So if you call your

248
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: grandmother today and she's not watching Fox News twenty four

249
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: hours a day, and she's not on Twitter, and she's

250
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: not obsessed with social media and all the anger and bitterness,

251
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: and you just call and see how she's doing. She's

252
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: probably in a good mood, especially if her tomatoes are

253
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: coming up and you're gonna visit and she can give

254
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: you some of them, and she's gonna make you your pie.

255
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: And maybe she's watching you know the uh, what's the

256
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: old Movies Network, and she's watching old episodes of Green

257
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: Acres and she's just happy she can be well. This

258
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: is how most Americans are living. This is how Republicans living.

259
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: They've moved from from the urban environment to the suburban

260
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: and now to the rural because with technology, a mom

261
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: can homeschooler kids without having to sit in front of

262
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: them all day. I got a bubbet buddy we call

263
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: the Aggie plumber lives in College Station. Small plumbing operation him.

264
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: He does the plumbing, His buddy does the ac He's

265
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: my show sponsors in Houston. Don't mind me mentioning it

266
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: because he doesn't leave that area. He just he does

267
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: his small business. He runs it, takes care of his

268
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: wife and his kids, and wife does the finances and

269
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: the happy little life right, happy little family and his

270
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: son Eli, sixteen, the third of five or ten kids,

271
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: I forget how many kids. Yes, he decided he wanted

272
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: to work full time. He'd had enough for school, So

273
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: he does homeschooling in the morning for a couple hours,

274
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: and then he catches up with dad on his project.

275
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: So he might be crawling under a block and base,

276
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: peering beam home, or up in an attic all day,

277
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: and by the time he graduates high school he will

278
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: have paid off a truck that he owns and be

279
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: ready to make a down payment on a house all

280
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: instead of sitting at school waiting on the bell to

281
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: ring for the next class and getting in trouble and

282
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: called down because you're a seventeen or eighteen year old boy,

283
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: and that's you know, you get in trouble with the warden. Well,

284
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: he does his schooling about two hours every morning online,

285
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: and you think, well, that's not enough. You'd be surprised

286
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 1: how little actual educating goes on in a school. Most

287
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: of the school day from the moment your kid leads

288
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: the moment they get home is getting to the school,

289
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: getting parked, playing grab ass with the other kids, getting

290
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: to the class, everybody getting seated, the teacher deciding she's

291
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: going to start teaching after who knows what else, and

292
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: then getting down to whatever it is, then telling Billy

293
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: to stopped pulling Susie's hair, and then there's all the

294
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: administrative crap. Before you know it, it's time to go,

295
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: and then there's lunch, and before you know it, the

296
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: day is. The day is over, and most of it

297
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: was just moving from room to room and assigning stuff

298
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: for you to do when you got home. You can

299
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: actually do the learning, the transmission and reception of information

300
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: in a very short period of time. But what are

301
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: we to do with this situation where you got crazy,

302
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:37,479
Speaker 1: and I mean crazy, You got a kid that is

303
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: not fitting into that world we described a minute ago

304
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: in Waller, Texas, or Uptown New York, nisco EUNA, or

305
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: Sarahsolaar Franklin, Tennessee, or Gadsden, Alabama, Pensacola, Florida, or you

306
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: name it right. What are we to do to the

307
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: with the person who who starts feeling different? You know,

308
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to go to homecoming, he doesn't want

309
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: to go to prom, he's not popular. He finds that

310
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: he'd rather paint his nails. Black and look like Marilyn Manson,

311
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: and he doesn't fit in, and he doesn't want to

312
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: play football or baseball or basketball, or play golf or

313
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: do anything else. He doesn't want to go fishing with

314
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: his dad, and he sits in his room and before

315
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: long he gets on the computer and there's a whole

316
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: world of weird out there, and maybe the first few

317
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: rounds of weird don't appeal to him, but eventually they do.

318
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: Eventually he finds something that makes him feel better about

319
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: himself because somebody is as weird as him. And before

320
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: you know it, he is sucked into a turbine with

321
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: propellers that are going to chew him up and spit

322
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: him out. And God help our nation, because for as

323
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: many trainny shooters as we have, it's a small percentage

324
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: of how many I suspect would like to do it.

325
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: And by the way, then let's send him to a

326
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: doctor where he's going to feed him full of hormones

327
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: that are going to absolutely ruin his mind and make

328
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: him irrational and angry and lashing out. And now he's confused,

329
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: he's in a free fall, and the only thing he

330
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: can do to make sense of all this is pick

331
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: up a gun and kill somebody, and what do you

332
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: think is going to start happening? And that's exactly what

333
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: we're seeing. So how do you break that? How do

334
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: you break that cycle? That's the challenge because the only

335
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: shot you've got at that kid is that his parents

336
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: will interact. How often do we see We saw it

337
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: in this case where the parents throw up their hands

338
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: because it becomes exhausting. Well, as a parent, if you

339
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: don't continue to engage your child as they wander off

340
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: the reservation, who will. The system is not prepared to

341
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: engage your child. The schools are not prepared to reform

342
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: your child to your child. In most cases, they are

343
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: the reason.

344
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 3: You know.

345
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: There's a group in Houston. It's a school called Stratford

346
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: High School and a little kid named Jack Robertson. I

347
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: had him on the show last week and they have

348
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: started a TPUSA chapter at their school. There was a

349
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: white liberal crazy woman that tried to shut it down.

350
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: These kids are feeding off each other's positivity. Kids have

351
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: got to be in a positive place to have a

352
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: positive life experience, and that's part of what parents need

353
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: to make sure they do. For all the time we

354
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: spend talking about school shooters and crazy people and the

355
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: guy who assassinated Charlie Kirk. We need to spend more

356
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: time talking about how to save your kid. The outlier

357
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: is the guy who killed Charlie Kirk. What about all

358
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: the great kids? There's a group here in Houston. Break

359
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: hit me before I could get to it. There's a

360
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: group here in Houston and at a school on the

361
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: West Side called Stratford str at fr D, And like

362
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: dozens of thousands of schools across the country, they applied

363
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: for a chapter of TPUSA after Charlie Kirk was assassinated,

364
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: and nothing noteworthy about that happened all across the country.

365
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: In fact, the state of Oklahoma is it's a pretty

366
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: cool deal. State of Oklahoma has decided there will be

367
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: a TPUSA chapter at every school in Oklahoma. Their school,

368
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: their Superintendent of Schools declared this, that's kind of like

369
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: a fellowship of Christian athletes at every school, or national

370
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: honors society or a student government because they care about values.

371
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: In Oklahoma, a lot of people on our side are

372
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: scared to death to impose our values. Power information education.

373
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: Values is a vacuum. If you don't put your values

374
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: in that space. That vacuum must be filled, and it

375
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: will be filled with something, either actively by liberalism or

376
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: by default by the liberal bent, because the arc of

377
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: things without a devoted conservatism bends toward liberalism. I think

378
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 1: it was Ronald Reagan who said something to the effect of,

379
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: if you don't impose conservatism, organizations will the arc of

380
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: organizations will bend to the left. I gotta go look

381
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: the quote up and heard it or read it in years,

382
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: but you get a general idea. And whether Reagan said

383
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: it or not, I'm saying it now and it happens

384
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: to be true. And so that is your call to action.

385
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: You know, I I meet a lot of people. If

386
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be completely honest here, this this is, this

387
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: is this is your alter call for you, Ramon, Can

388
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: I guess softully and tenderly? But can I just get it?

389
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: Uh?

390
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: What's it called? When nobody's singing, it's just a music? Yeah, instrumental.

391
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: Here's my call to you, because I get people who

392
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: come up to me and they can tell me everything

393
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: that's going wrong. They can tell me the name of

394
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: the guy who shot Charlie Kirk and they'll write it

395
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: to me. Michael say his name might not I say

396
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: his name? Why do I want to make him famous?

397
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: I know his name, I don't want to say his name.

398
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: I want to say the name was of good things,

399
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: not bad things. I want to highlight and make heroes

400
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: of good people, not bad people. Why do we Why

401
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 1: do we commit to memory evil names and evil people.

402
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: We should remember their evil deeds as a talisman against

403
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: what they do. So I have people who will come

404
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: up to me and they'll tell me all the bad

405
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: things that are happening at their kids' school, and I'll say,

406
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: all right, what are you doing? It's good for your kid.

407
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 3: See.

408
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: The point is we've got to create the life for

409
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: ourselves and our families that we want. We're real good

410
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: at figuring out what we're against, but we need to

411
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: decide what we're for, and we need to teach that

412
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: and promote it. And we need to be prepared that

413
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: the world doesn't want that. The world wants to destroy that.

414
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: Some people hate that because it makes them feel judged,

415
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: It makes them feel small. They don't like what it

416
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: is that gives you a joy, that gives you stability,

417
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: that gives you a sustainable faith and happiness and optimism.

418
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: They don't like that because they don't have it, and

419
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: so they don't like you for having it. They don't

420
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: wish you well, they don't wish success upon you. They

421
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: don't want you teaching that to their children. They don't

422
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: even want you teaching it to yours. They're unhappy, and

423
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: misery loves company. But we spend so darn much time

424
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: worrying about how evil they are, when what we ought

425
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: to do is be turning on the light. Best example

426
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: I can think of that in the early nineteen hundreds

427
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: of one hundred and twenty years ago or so, there

428
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: was a sermon collection called The Supreme con Quest and

429
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: is by a fellow named William Lonsdale Watkinson. And he

430
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: had a famous phrase, and you've heard it before. You

431
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: might have thought it was a Chinese proverb or eleanor

432
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: Roosevelt or John Lennon or somebody else. It's misattributed. This

433
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: was part of his sermon collection. It's called The Supreme Conquest,

434
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: if you want to go find it. And he famously said,

435
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: it is better to light a candle than to curse

436
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: the darkness. It is better to light a candle than

437
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: to curse the darkness. What does that mean we're real

438
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: good as conservatives, as patriots, as Christians, as parents at

439
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: cursing the darkness. But maybe we need to get better

440
00:29:54,760 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: at lighting a candle. See, children don't just need to

441
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: know all the bad that is in society, because that

442
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: is not an actionable avoidance. Avoidance is not the action.

443
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: Avoidance is the reaction to evil. But if all we're

444
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: ever doing is reacting, who are we at our core?

445
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: If we are defining ourselves as being against that, what

446
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: are we for? Are we cursing the darkness? Or are

447
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: we lighting a candle? Are we teaching our children where

448
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: happiness is? Don't do this, and don't do that, and

449
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: don't go over there, and don't associate with that, and

450
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: don't believe this and that's not true. Great, you don't

451
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: even have to tell those things. You don't have to

452
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: tell them what not to do. If you've shown them

453
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: what to do, they'll be so busy doing what to

454
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: do as opposed to what not to do, that they

455
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: won't have time idle hands in the devil's workshop. Put

456
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: their minds and hands and bodies and energy to work

457
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: doing good things. Teach them positive things, service to others,

458
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: loving your younger siblings, working diligence and work and sweat,

459
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: reading your Bible, helping other people, because when you become

460
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: engaged in those things, you don't need to curse the darkness.

461
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: There won't be any because you lit a candle to

462
