<v Speaker 1>Well, we have come in to your city. Don't a

0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 1>way I gets hozan saying you a conscious cell, will

0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>all be entire high land a talen and if you

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:17.520
<v Speaker 1>want a little banging, a union and come.

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Along Dogress never comes from those satisfied with the failues

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 2>of a broken system. It comes from those who want

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 2>to fix the broken system.

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Running as an act is political. And you know who

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>taught me that, Tim Walls. The first thing he told

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:32.959
<v Speaker 1>me was that running is a privilege.

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 3>In being a part of the running community is a privilege.

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 3>In the year.

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Twenty twenty five, in America, we are now living in

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>an oligarchic form of society.

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution. We

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>have come.

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>In to your city.

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Doing the way I get thousand saying you a conscious silt.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 2>The New Sean Hennity Show, more the scenes, information on

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>freaking news, and more bold inspired solutions for America. All right,

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 2>thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>for being with us. Write down our toll free telephone

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>number you want to be a part of the program,

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>White Smoke.

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I believe they didn't give us the final number.

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 2>It was either the fourth or fifth vote the first

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 2>was it the fourth or fifthland, I don't remember.

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 1>It was the fourth, all right, on the fourth vote.

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>And it can happen anywhere between two and usually fifteen.

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 2>And anyway, we have a new pope that has been selected,

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the first American born pope graduated from Villanova. He's been

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>elected pope and his name is Robert Prevost and he

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>has taken on the name Pope Lee the fourteenth. A

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>very interesting background. And you know half of the Christians

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>in the world are Catholic. Did you know that, Linda,

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 2>I did not know that. Yeah, half of them. Born

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 2>in Illinois nineteen fifty five. Pope Leo the fourteenth graduated

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>from Villanova bachelor's degree in math nineteen seventy seven. A

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 2>member of the Augustine and I know I'm not saying

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 2>that right religious order, elected the top leader of the

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 2>order twice. In an article about Pravos's selection as cardinal,

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 2>the former head of the province of Saint Thomas of

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Villanova referred to him as.

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>As our brother Bob.

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 2>After Villanov he studied a Catholic theological union in Chicago,

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>was ordained a priest in nineteen eighty two. Before he

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>was named a cardinal by Pope Francis in twenty twenty three.

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>He had held other previously high positions, though, and Boast

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 2>had been a leading candidate except for his nationality. Interestingly,

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>it had been a long, you know whatever taboo against

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 2>the US pope, given the geopolitical power already wielded by

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:20.239
<v Speaker 2>the US, I guess in the secular sphere. But anyway, Prayvost,

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>it's just interesting. It's just the whole thing was interesting

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>to watch unfold. I will tell you the years in

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.799
<v Speaker 2>the Catholic Church for me, twelve years of Catholic school

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 2>were very, very good for me. Gave me a good

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>spiritual foundational It's so much that I like about the

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Catholic Church. The thing is that the few criticisms. I'm

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>not going to bring him up on this day, but

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>he's a brilliant guy. He has a doctorate in canon

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>law that he got in Rome at the College of

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Saint Thomas Aquinas. Two decades he served in Peru and

0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.040
<v Speaker 2>became a naturalized citizen, and prior to that he served,

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, in many different capacities and directly for Pope Francis.

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, a.

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Lot of people are interested in there were basically three groups.

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like everything everything's political, right. There were

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:20.559
<v Speaker 2>those that were deemed more conservative, those that were deemed

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 2>more in line with Pope Francis. So I thought it

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 2>was very liberal, too liberal for my liking to be

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 2>very blunt, and I won't go through the whole conclave.

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>If you want us know how conclave actually works, go

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 2>watch the movie. People that actually have been through it'd

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 2>say that process now, it has a kind of bizarre

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.919
<v Speaker 2>ending to the story, but putting that aside the actual

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 2>process is kind of akin to what really happens. We

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 2>do know he has said some things on some controversial

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 2>issues we know. The New York Times reported in twenty

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>twelve he indicated that pop culture created quote sympathy for

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 2>beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel.

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 2>In a speech to bishops, he referred to the homosexual

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:10.919
<v Speaker 2>lifestyle and alternative families comprised of same sex partners and

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 2>their adopted children. On immigration, he it's interesting as a

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 2>bishop in Peru had him work with a lot of immigrants,

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>and for The New York Times he was praised in

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 2>the country for efforts to support Venezuelan immigrants. Not talking

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 2>about the US, but I believe you're talking about Peru.

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 2>In that interview, the Newsweek could not confirm any details

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 2>of his position on any of the conflicts, for example,

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 2>going on around the world of Russia Ukraine. Pray boasted,

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, long standing ally of the Pope Francis who's

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 2>just passed, and we'll see. I don't think anybody will

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 2>be as influential as Pope John Fall the second, but

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, you have high hopes. I think the world

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 2>does need a spiritual reawakening in many, many ways. And

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>that's just my own personal opinion. The President congratulated Pope

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Leo on a selection and said it's such an honor

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.239
<v Speaker 2>to realize that he is the first American pope. He said,

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 2>what excitement, What a great honor for our country. I

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>look forward to meeting Pope Leo the fourteenth. There will

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 2>be a very meaningful moment for the President. I don't

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of people know that the President, I

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 2>can tell you firsthand, is way more of a believer

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 2>than people might think. Well, Hannity, what about all the

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 2>alleg I don't want I just please, I can't take

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 2>it anymore. Your hatred is getting old and predictable. But

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 2>it was, it was just It's just a fascinating moment

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 2>in history to watch. And I found myself in the

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 2>middle of my my, my prep routine today watching way

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 2>too much of it.

0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Linda, did you find yourself doing the same thing.

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the process is very interesting. You know, some

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 3>of the morning of you know, the previous pope and

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 3>putting him to rest. I thought those were a little

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 3>strange As a Catholic, I was like, Eh, that's a

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 3>little weird. But watching the people gather today and he

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 3>actually spoke the Abbe Maria and I just I don't know,

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 3>there were certain things I really liked. I'm not the

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 3>biggest fan of him just yet. We'll see.

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, you mean there's a chance he might end

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>up on the hate list in the backsliding.

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>We'll get to that later.

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 3>He might be a woke pope.

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>We shall see.

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that there's no indication will be a

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 2>woke pope, no indication at all. The other big news

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 2>of the day. We will spend a lot of time

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 2>on this. The president. And let me backtrack a second here,

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 2>not to say that I told you so, but all

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 2>the handwringing and all the skittishness on Wall Street and

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 2>all of the overreaction because Donald Trump did what Donald

0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Trump was elected to do. He ran as a disruptor

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and iconoclassed, won the chatters illusions, and he challenges old

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 2>ways of doing things. You know, look at the Iron Dome,

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>look at energy dominance, deporting illegal immigrants, building a wall,

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 2>the Ukraine Mineral deal. Everything he does is out of

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 2>the box. And most everything he thinks about doing is big,

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 2>like peace in Europe, at the peace in the Middle East.

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 2>I know there are people that just want him to fail,

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>just so they could say, oh, you failed, you failed. Well,

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 2>at least he at least he's in there taking a

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 2>shot and taking a swing. He's up at bat And

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>everybody was freaking out, Oh, there's not going to be

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 2>trade deals. And I kept saying that just be patient.

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 2>This is fifty to sixty years of establishment, institutionalized ways

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 2>of doing things. And he said, no, it's it's no

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 2>longer time for America to allow systemic ripping off of

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 2>our country and being abused and being treated unfairly by

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>countries friend and foe alike. And that's when he announced

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 2>this big trade deal with the United Kingdom today. I

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 2>can't think of a more appropriate day, by the way,

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.439
<v Speaker 2>for him to have done this. What is it the

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>eightieth anniversary, I believe of the end of World War II.

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I think it was the perfect day to do it. Interestingly,

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 2>even China now is at the table. The deal with

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Great Britain that he announced today will open up British

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:39.439
<v Speaker 2>markets to plenty of American farm products, chemicals, machinery. The

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 2>presidents said beef, beef, ethanol, agricultural products are going to

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 2>flood into the UK. The British also agreed to drop

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 2>non tariff trade barriers. In return, the UK will see

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:55.320
<v Speaker 2>new business partnerships with major American companies and receive relief

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:59.439
<v Speaker 2>on sector specific tariffs. US tariffs on British cars will

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 2>be reduced, you know, from twenty seven point five percent

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 2>to ten percent for a quota of one hundred thousand

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 2>British autos, and steal an aluminum terrace will be slashed

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 2>as zero. You know, if the President didn't try that

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have happened. I reported to you yesterday. You know,

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 2>the widely watched Atlanta Fed. The Atlanta Fed has a

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of credibility. And we reported yesterday two major developments.

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 2>The first was Goldman Sachs and the Atlanta Fed had

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 2>both increased the GDP growth projections of the second quarter

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.839
<v Speaker 2>to over two percent. And what was interesting about it

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:40.679
<v Speaker 2>is Goldman revised their growth projection from negative three tenths

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 2>of one percent to two point four percent.

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:45.959
<v Speaker 1>That is a massive adjustment.

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 2>The same day, the Atlanta Fed increased their GDP projection

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 2>from one point one to two point two. They doubled it.

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 2>This morning, the Atlanta Fed raised it even higher. They

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 2>came out with a new GDP production projection for this

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 2>order are two point three percent. Now this GDP new

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 2>model estimate for real GDP growth in the second quarter.

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they're maybe they're finally paying attention to what's been happening.

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Eight trillion dollars that has been committed to manufacturings in

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 2>the next four years is gonna is real.

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.679
<v Speaker 2>We announced last night on Hannity the President is leaving Monday.

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I will be on that trip reporting.

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Going on the trip, We're going to be broadcasting Tuesday, Wednesday,

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Thursday next week from Saudi Arabia and Riad.

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 2>We'll we will be in Doha, We'll be in Katar Uh.

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Then we're going to the UAE and Abu Dhabi and

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 2>we'll be broadcasting from all three of those countries. We're

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 2>going to try and bring you a a front row

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>seat into what such a big trip is all about.

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 2>One of the biggest issues is, you know, look at

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>the investment. The UAE has committed one point five trillion

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 2>dollars in investment in manufacturing in the US, Saudi Arabia

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 2>one trillion dollars. Lindsey Grammill join us later says, you

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.319
<v Speaker 2>know this, this is the future of business, and they

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 2>want to be in business with the United States. Now,

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 2>one interesting other thing, you know, people I would expect

0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 2>after this United Kingdom announcement today that there are going

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 2>to be other countries. Now I know for a fact,

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.360
<v Speaker 2>because I've talked to the people involved, that there are

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 2>other countries that are we're very close to announcing trade

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.440
<v Speaker 2>deals with. And you know, when you couple that with

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 2>the eight trillion in committed investment between business and other countries,

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:42.920
<v Speaker 2>when you couple that with with the specific industries that

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 2>are investing, it's good for national security. Like we've got

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 2>to build, we've got to manufacture our pharmaceuticals in this country.

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 2>We've got to We've got to manufacture our chips in

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>this country. We can't be reliant on China. They're not

0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:01.679
<v Speaker 2>a reliable partner for these these items. We have automotive manufacturing.

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 2>As the President said, we want to make our cars

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 2>here in America. Now we can partner with other countries

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 2>and their car companies like Honda, Nissan, Hyende, you know,

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 2>have all made deals to manufacture their cars and get

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 2>their parts from America. Great, that's good for American workers.

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.840
<v Speaker 2>And with people being deported, that's going to be less

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 2>competition for high paying career jobs. As a story today,

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 2>we'll get to that about how young kids in high

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 2>school are being recruited to be trained in the trades

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.200
<v Speaker 2>and they're starting pay is seventy grand a year. It

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 2>makes you really want to rethink college at that point,

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 2>because you know that article I've referred to now a

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 2>few times about the next generation of millionaires are going

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.320
<v Speaker 2>to be tradesmen. Now, in the lead up to Scott

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Bess and the Treasury secretaries meeting in Geneva with China representatives, well,

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 2>it's interesting. It seems like an olive branch to me.

0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Boeing announced that they received orders for more than a

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.960
<v Speaker 2>dozen wide body jets from China's state owned airline, and

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.559
<v Speaker 2>that order is apparently a calculated gesture of goodwill from

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 2>my interpretation, ahead of these negotiations. On Saturday, and Boeing

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 2>announced that China Airlines has become the newest seven to

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 2>seven seven customer, with an order of ten passenger and

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>four freight airplanes. In addition to the firm order, the

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>airline has options to purchase nine more seven seven sevens.

0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Last month, another Chinese airline delayed the delivery of a

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 2>wide body aircraft from Boeing. The delay was suspected to

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 2>be part of the non TERRORFF counter measure. I don't

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 2>think it's an accident that it's happening just before this

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.760
<v Speaker 2>this meeting is taking place in Geneva this weekend. But

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 2>of course, if you look at the mainstream, you know,

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 2>state run legacy media mob and just their classic maneuver.

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, the New York Times continues to push the

0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Trump recession hoax. While admitting and the data shows that

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 2>the economy's healthy, they just contradict themselves, and jobless claims

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 2>fell more than expected. And Doug Bergram is warning that

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 2>the US could suffer widespread Biden blackouts because of the

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 2>over alliance on green energy. What's stupidity between that and

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 2>what Sean Duffy inherited. I can't believe what Shawn Duffy's

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 2>telling us. They they haven't updated a thing that's wrong.

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:29.359
<v Speaker 2>I see that the New Post. I'm sorry, Pope Prevost

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 2>apparently has been critical of President Trump, and on the

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 2>issue of immigration, that's pretty disappointed.

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Does he not know?

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Do people not know how many Americans were murdered and

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 2>raped and victims of violent crime because we don't have

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 2>open borders? He says, there's nothing remotely Christian American are

0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 2>morally defensible about a policy that takes children away from

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 2>their parents and warehouses them in cages. I hope somebody

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 2>might tell the new Pope that the kids in cages

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 2>happened under Obama and then later under Biden, because I've

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 2>got the video to prove it, and nobody's taking children

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 2>away from their parents. I mean, it sounds like he's

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 2>been indoctrinated into the liberal way of thinking, although he is.

0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twelve, we had a different position on the

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 2>issue of gay rights. But well, it's it's fairly predictable.

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 2>This is the churches has been leaning more left wing,

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 2>more left wing. Once tried to criticize JD. Vance as

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 2>well for talking about Americans. You know, love God with

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 2>all your heart, and your neighbors yourself. The neighbor's the

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 2>person next door, not the person in another continent. I

0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty five now till the top of the hour, eight

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 2>hundred and nine to four one Shawn Isson number. You

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 2>want to be a part of the program, all right,

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 2>we have a Memorial Day, fourth of July. It's going

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 2>to be here before you. You know, flash your eyes,

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 2>blink your eyes. And I hope you have your American flag.

0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 2>And we live in the greatest, single best country God

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 2>gave man. It is for sure, we truly do and

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 2>we're truly blessed. And you know what, I'm proud that

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I have my American flag. I just got it and

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:13.919
<v Speaker 2>I have. By the way, if you're gonna get a flag,

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe not made in China right now, you know, you

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 2>don't want an overseas made American flag, you know, with

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.840
<v Speaker 2>freight edges, poor quality. You want a durable flag, a

0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.159
<v Speaker 2>high quality American flag, one that will truly honor the

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:30.120
<v Speaker 2>day in every way imaginable. One that was hands sown

0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.200
<v Speaker 2>right here in the USA, in Charleston, in South Carolina.

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I love our friends in South Carolina and by true patriots,

0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 2>people that love our country. And I'm talking about Allegiance

0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 2>flag supply and I'll be flying mine. As a matter

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 2>of fact, Sweet baby James just put it up. He

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.640
<v Speaker 2>just put it up. I find out in the wrong location.

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Can we change the location now so people can actually

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 2>see it?

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Anyway?

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 2>You still have time to get yours before Memorial Day.

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Now you need to know that is their biggest month.

0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.360
<v Speaker 2>But you still have time to get yours before Memorial Day.

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.680
<v Speaker 2>It look our flag is to be revered. So many

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 2>people fought, bled and died fighting under that flag, a

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.840
<v Speaker 2>flag that you know you can be proud of. And

0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 2>it's a great gift for family members with Father's Day

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 2>coming up, in Mother's Day coming up, with the military

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:24.040
<v Speaker 2>members of your family, they would love this. Every part

0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:29.560
<v Speaker 2>is American made, hand sown right here in America, handcrafted

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Allegiance flaged. You're not going to find them at any

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.800

<v Speaker 2>you'll get free shipping show Allegiance dot com today and

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 2>you won't regret it. I did mention, well, it is

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 2>a little bit disappointing. Apparently the new pope, which is

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I guess now, Pope Leo the fourteenth, whose name? Who's

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.040
<v Speaker 2>they come out They tell you that his his the

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 2>name he was born with in this case Robert Prevost

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 2>and he take he's taken on the name Pope Leo

0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 2>the fourteenth. But apparently he has been critical of even

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.199
<v Speaker 2>though it's the first American pope of President Trump and

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:27.639
<v Speaker 2>his immigration policies and very similar to Pope Francis. And

0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really I really have a hard time understanding it,

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:31.880
<v Speaker 2>to be honest, I don't want to get too critical

0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 2>on this day where so many Catholics are happy, and

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 2>but I wish popes would focus on the mission of

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 2>of you know, helping people find salvation in Jesus and

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:50.600
<v Speaker 2>understand the mystery of the Eucharist and and the history

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:54.040
<v Speaker 2>of the Church, and and you know, understanding that human

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.879
<v Speaker 2>beings are mind, body, and soul, and focus on the

0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.119
<v Speaker 2>sole part, not the politics part. But in one thing

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 2>that he retweeted that there is nothing remotely Christian, American,

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 2>or morally defensible about a policy that takes children away

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 2>from their parents and warehouses them in cages. Now, you

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.919
<v Speaker 2>might recall we tried to get in the middle of

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 2>COVID in early in Biden's term. They were allowing in

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.440
<v Speaker 2>all of these unvettered illegals, and they were putting all

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 2>these kids in cages, and we sent Sarah Carter and

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.159
<v Speaker 2>our cameras down to get images of it, and we

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:38.119
<v Speaker 2>would denied access. And then Senator Ted Cruz was given

0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 2>access because he is a US senator, and I asked

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.760
<v Speaker 2>him if he'd take videos and share them with us,

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:49.879
<v Speaker 2>and that's how that's how those images were made public anyway,

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.360
<v Speaker 2>and nobody is taking their children away from their parents.

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 2>And under Joe Biden, we're still missing three hundred and

0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:59.440
<v Speaker 2>fifty thousand kids.

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 1>That came into this. We don't know where they were.

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 2>We don't know where they are, I mean, we don't

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:06.880
<v Speaker 2>know how many of them might might have been, you know,

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.680
<v Speaker 2>sold into sex slavery for crying out loud and sex

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:15.400
<v Speaker 2>trafficking because we know that goes on and on anyway. Also,

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.159
<v Speaker 2>apparently the new Pope has previously shared an op ed

0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 2>from the National Catholic Reporter entitled jd Vance is wrong.

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others,

0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:30.520
<v Speaker 2>following comments that the Vice President made on Fox News

0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 2>in February.

0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this was an interview with me

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>or not. I don't recall.

0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:36.760
<v Speaker 2>During the interview, Van said, there is a Christian concept

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 2>that you love your family and your neighbor, and then

0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 2>you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens,

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.800
<v Speaker 2>and then after that prioritize the rest of the world.

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:52.600
<v Speaker 2>He's basically saying love everybody. Why is that controversial? Anyway,

0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the New Catholic Pope shared an op ed saying Van's

0:21:55.440 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>was wrong. Now, both the President and the Vice President

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 2>have gone out very publicly and congratulated the new Pope.

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 2>In his position, what is the Bible is very clear,

0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:10.920
<v Speaker 2>love God with all your heart, mind, body, and soul,

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and your neighbor as yourself. Okay, your neighbor the first

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:16.720
<v Speaker 2>your neighbor is the people you come into contact with

0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:21.840
<v Speaker 2>every day, and that that would if you have to

0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:25.040
<v Speaker 2>love your family those are the people your your number

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:27.560
<v Speaker 2>one responsibility is to take care of your family, but

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:29.440
<v Speaker 2>you got to put God first in your life.

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I agree with all of that.

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>But then the people that you're most likely to need

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 2>to show the most loved to are your family, your neighbors,

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 2>your co workers, your community, your country.

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>And there's nothing wrong.

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 2>And jd Vance says that then you know, he goes

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 2>on to say, and then then you help people around

0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:50.679
<v Speaker 2>the world, the.

0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:52.720
<v Speaker 1>American people the most generous people on earth.

0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really sure you know how this ends up,

0:22:57.600 --> 0:22:59.640
<v Speaker 2>to be honest, it just sounds like more of the same,

0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:04.920
<v Speaker 2>very in line with Pope Francis. With all that said,

0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 2>I it was, it was. Actually it's a special thing

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:12.080
<v Speaker 2>to watch knowing that half the world's Christians are are Catholic.

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 2>But I will tell you overall, for me, the Catholic

0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Church has served me well in my life in many

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:22.200
<v Speaker 2>many ways, more than I can even list, because I learned.

0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I learned that, I learned about God and the Bible,

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 2>and it was instilled in me. My parents made me

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 2>go to church. My parents were very devout and and

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:34.679
<v Speaker 2>until I was able old enough to be able to

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:37.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, get away. I went to the I went

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 2>to the early mass. Dad and I went early Meanwhile

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 2>he was sleeping. But then I then I went to

0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:48.159
<v Speaker 2>Catholic schools for twelve years. I studied theology, I studied Latin.

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I went to Mass every day. I love the liturgy.

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I love the Eucharist. The last it is the re

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:58.879
<v Speaker 2>enactment of the Last Supper. You know, Jesus said, you know,

0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 2>take this bread, eat it. This is my body given up.

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 1>For you, you know, gave thanks some phrase. Took the cup

0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:06.960
<v Speaker 1>of wine.

0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 2>This is the cup of my blood, the blood of

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:11.679
<v Speaker 2>the new and everlasting Covenant. It'll be shed for you

0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:14.359
<v Speaker 2>and for all men, for the forgiveness of sins. Do

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:17.520
<v Speaker 2>this in memory of me, which is why the Mass

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:20.560
<v Speaker 2>does that. And when you eat this bread and drink

0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:23.359
<v Speaker 2>this cup, you proclaim that the death of Jesus as

0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 2>your Lord and Savior, sent by God himself, the son

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.760
<v Speaker 2>of God, to reconcile man and their sins, original sin.

0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:35.080
<v Speaker 2>We're all sinners, all of sin and fallen short. That's

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:39.359
<v Speaker 2>the whole concept of it, which is in itself great,

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:42.440
<v Speaker 2>you know. But we're as long as I'm on it,

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I might as well stay here but my disagreement is

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 2>over you know, eleven of the twelve apostles were married.

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:54.119
<v Speaker 2>I learned that in theology in high school, and so

0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Jesus chose married men or men to be married that

0:24:57.680 --> 0:25:01.919
<v Speaker 2>would be married, and they were Hisscils has chosen twelve

0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and the first what eleven hundred and twelve hundred years

0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember exactly priests were allowed to marry in

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the church, I think at that moment. And then the

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:20.159
<v Speaker 2>motivation for changing that policy was probably rooted in the

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:23.119
<v Speaker 2>fact that the church it probably had to do with

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:28.400
<v Speaker 2>financial issues. Everything I've read indicates that it does, and

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 2>that the church didn't want to lose money, you know,

0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 2>with a divorce. I guess pre nups were on his

0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:39.840
<v Speaker 2>common back then, pretty common now. And but my point is,

0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:44.320
<v Speaker 2>at that point, I think you took the potential, the

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 2>pool of potential priests down to a very low, negligible level,

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:52.480
<v Speaker 2>and that means that the standards then would be reduced.

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:57.560
<v Speaker 2>You're not having people compete, you know, and having you know,

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:01.400
<v Speaker 2>instead of hundreds of thousands of applicants. You know, now

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:03.919
<v Speaker 2>maybe you're down on with hous it and pretty much

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 2>if you have a beating heart. That means you're the

0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 2>odds are pretty high that you'll make it, and so

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:12.520
<v Speaker 2>and and Sadly, it did attract some some of the

0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:17.400
<v Speaker 2>wrong people. And then the church, unfortunately, rather than deal

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 2>with the scandal's head on, they at the local level,

0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the parish level, the bishops, the cardinals, you know, and

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:30.400
<v Speaker 2>all the way to Rome, they never dealt with it appropriately.

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:34.040
<v Speaker 2>In my view, that's that's that's where I feel the

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:36.960
<v Speaker 2>church went wrong, not on any of the other things.

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:39.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's interesting. I'll give you a little bit

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:41.920
<v Speaker 2>of background, Linda. If I'm getting boring on this, tell

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:46.840
<v Speaker 2>me you're not answering, you're not giving me. You're not

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:50.720
<v Speaker 2>giving me affirmation of saying enough is enough? Right, I'm

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:52.600
<v Speaker 2>sure it was such a big part of my life.

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 3>Hey, you let us on a cliffhanger, and I think

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:57.159
<v Speaker 3>it would be interesting for the audience to know that

0:26:57.240 --> 0:26:59.520
<v Speaker 3>you went to seminary and did all the things.

0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So the Catholic Church is founded on Jesus asking

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:09.439
<v Speaker 2>his apostles, who do you say that I am? And

0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:14.600
<v Speaker 2>he asked Peter, remember it was his name was originally Simon,

0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 2>And he said, oh, no, I'm going to call you Peter.

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:20.399
<v Speaker 1>It was a big part of, you know, the biblical story.

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.240
<v Speaker 2>And and Peter was fishing when Jesus met him, and

0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:25.440
<v Speaker 2>he didn't catch a single fish. He said, drop you

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 2>a net one more time, and he had more fish.

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:28.640
<v Speaker 2>He was able to pay off his debt. And then

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:30.800
<v Speaker 2>he said, you know, follow me, and I'll make you

0:27:30.840 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 2>fishers of men. But the whole premise of the Catholic

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Church is founded on this scripture where you know, Peter,

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:40.880
<v Speaker 2>who who do you say that I am? And he said,

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.359
<v Speaker 2>you are the Christ, you are the son of the

0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Living God. And Jesus's answer was, well, bless and blood

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:51.119
<v Speaker 2>didn't reveal this to you, Peter, My father revealed that

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 2>unto your heart. And it's upon this foundation that I

0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 2>shall build my church, and the gates of Hell will

0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:01.919
<v Speaker 2>not prevail against it. Here's the interesting side of it.

0:28:02.880 --> 0:28:08.639
<v Speaker 2>When I studied theology in Latin, Peter means petros, which

0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:12.440
<v Speaker 2>means rock. And upon they took it Peter the man

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:15.800
<v Speaker 2>the rock would become the foundation of the church. I

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:19.199
<v Speaker 2>took it very differently. My interpretation is my own, so

0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:23.479
<v Speaker 2>take it for what it's worth that Peter understood who

0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Jesus was because flesh and blood didn't reveal who Jesus

0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:30.879
<v Speaker 2>was to him. That God the Father did. And it

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:35.840
<v Speaker 2>is upon the foundation of having a direct relationship with

0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 2>God and inner revelation that Jesus, Jesus's church will be built.

0:28:41.240 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Inner discernment called the conscience, it's called the soul. You know,

0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 2>how many of us, in the course of our lives,

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 2>when you do something wrong, you know you're doing something wrong.

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 2>You know you listen to the wrong voice, or you know,

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:56.040
<v Speaker 2>as you get older and more mature and more mature

0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 2>spiritually and more disciplined in life, than you make the

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 2>right decisions. That's part of you know, gradually graciously abandoning

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:07.680
<v Speaker 2>the things of youth. So I think the spiritual component

0:29:07.760 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 2>was way more important than than Peter the Rock, the Pope,

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Petros and so on and so forth. All right, was

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 2>that worthwhile or not?

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Of course it was.

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think you have a background. You know,

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 3>you're basically a theologian. You know, you have a very

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:27.760
<v Speaker 3>very strong background, and you have obviously you know, you've

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:30.120
<v Speaker 3>been committed to, you know, the word of the Lord

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:32.840
<v Speaker 3>for a very very long time. And it's amazing. I

0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:34.400
<v Speaker 3>don't think a lot of the audience knows.

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 1>That I don't talk a lot about it. I don't

0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:40.840
<v Speaker 1>proselytize in life. I messed up too much of my life.

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I was too much.

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I was so freaking incorrigible in my youth that I

0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:48.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, I have no right to tell anybody what

0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 2>to do.

0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:52.960
<v Speaker 3>To be very honest, nobody has anybody the right to

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 3>tell anybody what to do. You know my.

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Backsliding.

0:29:57.960 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm not backsliding.

0:29:59.720 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm more of a standing still kind of gal. I

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:03.360
<v Speaker 3>like the peloton.

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, a nice brisk card. But you have but

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:09.480
<v Speaker 1>you have a hate list I do. I hate a

0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of people. Love God, love your neighbors. All you say.

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:14.720
<v Speaker 2>He didn't say anywhere in the Bible to hate anybody.

0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:17.360
<v Speaker 2>He said to forgive people seventy times seven, that just

0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:18.600
<v Speaker 2>never stopped forgiving them.

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm not in math. I'm a media.

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:22.720
<v Speaker 3>You know I'm doing my best.

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 2>You just you've become a liberal when this topic comes up,

0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:33.240
<v Speaker 2>because you no you met, you rationalize and make excuses

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:33.920
<v Speaker 2>like liberals do.

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 3>No, it's the opposite. I'm not making excuses. I'm not rationalized.

0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Forgive us as we forgive. I mean, if you want forgiveness.

0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:48.840
<v Speaker 2>It's predicated on you forgiving those people on your stupid

0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 2>hate list that you cling to like manna from heaven.

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:54.800
<v Speaker 3>But I do like I don't. I'm sorry. I don't

0:30:54.800 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 3>forgive pedophiles. I don't forgive murderers. I don't forgive rapists.

0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:04.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't forgive people who hurt animals in any way,

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 3>shape or form. I do not forgive them. I do not,

0:31:07.200 --> 0:31:08.560
<v Speaker 3>and I hope that you know.

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Listen, you mentioned pedophiles. I don't think I can forgive

0:31:14.600 --> 0:31:17.520
<v Speaker 2>them either. I might be with you on that part.

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, one of the most interesting things in Pope

0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:23.200
<v Speaker 2>John Paul the Second's life that he did you remember

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:26.400
<v Speaker 2>he got shot. Everyone forgets that. Remember the guy that

0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I forgot it tried to kill him? Okay, he went

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:34.600
<v Speaker 2>to prison to pray with the guy. Isn't that amazing?

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 3>That's insane?

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Why is that insane? He's the pope, he's practiced. Well, yeah,

0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 1>but he's still human.

0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:46.640
<v Speaker 2>So so if you were the pope and you somebody

0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:50.000
<v Speaker 2>tried to assassinate your wanted to assassinate you, you wouldn't go

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:53.120
<v Speaker 2>visit them in prison, as Jesus instructed us to do.

0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:55.640
<v Speaker 2>When I was hungry. You gave me food. When I

0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:57.800
<v Speaker 2>needed clothes. You gave me clothes when I was in prison,

0:31:57.840 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 2>you visited me. Her was you know, the hell with

0:32:01.080 --> 0:32:02.800
<v Speaker 2>you and you're on my hate list?

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 3>No, I'd be like, I got a guy, he's going

0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 3>to come visit you and let you know how I

0:32:06.120 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 3>feel about this.

0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I got a guy that's going to come there and

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 1>get the crap out of you.

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Now you just saying I got a guy in cell

0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:14.480
<v Speaker 3>block twelve, all it's going to come and say hi.

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:16.000
<v Speaker 3>His name is Frank stand By.

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I did not plan on talking about any of this.

0:32:17.920 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why where it came from.

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Regardless of all of this, I think it's beautiful to

0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 3>see that there's so many people of faith, you know,

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Christian's Catholic, you know, Praising.

0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 1>The served me well.

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:31.719
<v Speaker 2>It has served me so well in my life, and

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:34.760
<v Speaker 2>it gave me a foundation, and I'm grateful for that.

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Although now I consider myself non denominational, and it was.

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:39.840
<v Speaker 2>But it was nice to see. Although I wish this

0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:42.400
<v Speaker 2>guy wasn't political. I hope he doesn't go there where

0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Pope Francis did. All right, we have a lot going

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 2>on around the world, not the least of which is

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the OLDI
