1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. You're right, I'm not Sean.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm Rose and I'm so privileged to be here today

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: and Friday. By the way, Sean is actually traveling with

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: the President. He's got his whole Middle East tour going

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: on and he's going to have a special edition live

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: from the Middle East on his TV show. So safe

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: travels to Sean and the President, and I wish them

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: really well. And how exciting that Sean gets to be

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: a part of that, which means how exciting I get

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: to be a part of the Sean Handity Show today.

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: So if you want to call in, I'm happy to

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: talk to you. The phone number I'll be giving that

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: in just a second. But I do want to talk

14
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: about a few things first, and I want to talk

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: about what we're going to talk about more later on

16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: in the show, because we have Corey Lewandowski coming on

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: to talk about what happened at the facility in New

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: Jersey and what's going to happen as a result. That's

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: one of the big questions I have, and we'll get

20
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: to all of that. But when we think back about

21
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: what happened on Friday, and we watched as the Democrats

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: once again gave priority over US citizens to illegal immigrants

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: when they stormed that ice facility in New Jersey. And

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: it all got to me to thinking about the constitutional

25
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: limits of government. And you know what, and not only that,

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: but how our representatives don't seem to take their charge

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: as seriously and even respectfully as they were meant to.

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: And I'm so disappointed that some of our representatives today

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: seem to believe that they are above the law. They're

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: well and power and far beyond what the founders ever intended.

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: And a lot of times in my monologues you would

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: hear me say, you know, the faith of our founding fathers,

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: and how important that was to establishing this country. And

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: I do believe that's true, and their faith was significant.

35
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: But guess what, not all of them were strong, faithful men.

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: They didn't have to be, because they understood one thing

37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: that man had a since nature, and they were cautious

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: about concentrating too much power in the hands of any

39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: one person or group because man has a sinful nature.

40
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: They all agreed on that, whether they were men of

41
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: faith or not. And it was what they believed about

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: this human nature that honestly really shaped how they believed

43
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: government should work, especially when it comes to protecting individual

44
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: freedom preventing tyranny. It was James Madison who asked in

45
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: the Federalist Papers, and it was number fifty one, what

46
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: is government itself? But the greatest of all reflections on

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: human nature? And he also said in fifty one that

48
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: if men were angels, no government would be necessary. So

49
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: the idea was to design a structure that prevented any

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: one person or group from becoming too powerful, because we

51
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: well know that men are not angels. And if you

52
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: look at Federalist Papers number one, and a lot of

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: people look at that first paper as just an introduction

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: to the rest of the Federalist papers. But by calling

55
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: it just an introduction, we're not doing it justice, because

56
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: in truth, it's a very powerful call to action. It's

57
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: an appeal from Alexander Hamilton to the people of the

58
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: United States to completely rethink how government should be. And

59
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: he made it clear that it wasn't just a small

60
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: decision because of the very future and survival of this

61
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: United States was at stake. The decisions for our nation's

62
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: future were placed in the hands of the people. A

63
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: government by the people and if you think about it too.

64
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: Years later, at another really pivotal point in America's history,

65
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address kind of drew on

66
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: that same concept when he said that this nation under

67
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that

68
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: government of the people, by the people, for the people

69
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: shall not perish from the earth. So that was in

70
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: eighteen sixty three. That was seventy five years later. It

71
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: was still a novel idea, but still one that was

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: to be protected and remembered. And Abraham Lincoln knew that

73
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: we still need to talk about this, that the power

74
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: belongs to the people. And we go back to Madison's time.

75
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: What made the moment so historic was that it wasn't

76
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: kings or generals or even elites deciding our future. It

77
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: was everyday citizens. The fate of the country depended on

78
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: their choice. That kind of trust in the people was

79
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: very rare. I mean, not only in the world at

80
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: that time, but if you look back in all of history,

81
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that was something that was just not happening,

82
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: giving the people the power. But it does talk or

83
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: speak to how deeply Hamilton believed in the American experiment.

84
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: He imagined a great future for America. He even called

85
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: it the beginning of an empire, but not in the

86
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: way that we think of empires, not in a sense

87
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: of conquest, but just to show how important and influential

88
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: this nation could become if it could be held together

89
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: under this new constitution. So at the time, the United

90
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: States was still fragile and it was far from powerful.

91
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: But Hamilton believed that building a government based on the

92
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: will of the people was not only bold, but it

93
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: could change the course of history. And guess what, he

94
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: was right. This country was founded on the idea that

95
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: man was created by God to be free, and the

96
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: only way, the only way to establish and maintain that

97
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: freedom was to reduce the size of government. And if

98
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: you think about it, in our founder's case, it was

99
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: a king that they were trying to get out from under,

100
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: a very oppressive, imposing, freedom restricting king. I mean, at

101
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: that time, it was the king's way or no way.

102
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: So they understood all of this. So when we look

103
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: back on where we see our leadership headed, it's just

104
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: not what we saw on Friday. It's not what we've

105
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: been seeing in DC over the years. We see evidence

106
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: of elitism and central power from all of those people

107
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: in Washington, DC, most of them. Anyway, We've been seeing

108
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: it for a really long time now, and you know what,

109
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: our concern is deep, but not only that. We should

110
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: have a concern that's historically resonent, because it goes to

111
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: the very heart of what the Federalist papers authors warned

112
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: us of. They warned us of the dangers of concentrating

113
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: power into the hands of one person or one group, right,

114
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,559
Speaker 1: and the erosion of checks and balances. They were really

115
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: aware of the human tendencies toward overreach. Men are not angels.

116
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: And by the way, when they designed a system of

117
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: government where each branch would act as a check on

118
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: the others, that was a novel idea too. Representatives were

119
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: meant to be servants of the people, not rulers above

120
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: the law. We've come a really long way, haven't we,

121
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: Because our representatives most definitely believe themselves to be above

122
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: the law in most cases. And I truly believe that

123
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: many of them consider to be us to be their

124
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: servants rather than they ours. You know, they do. You

125
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: can see it every day the elected officials are acting,

126
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, laterally when they flout legal boundaries or the

127
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: proper process of oversight. Even if they have good intentions,

128
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: they are losing our trust and they're also challenging the

129
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: constitutional limits that were so very carefully established. So now

130
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: this behavior that we're witnessing, whether we see it as

131
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: bold advocacy or reckless overreach, you know where I fall

132
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: on that one. But it does an important question, doesn't it.

133
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: It's about how authority is exercised today and whether it's

134
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: consistent with the constitutional framework that was later by our

135
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: founding fathers. And we're going to talk about this a

136
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: little later in the show too, because one of the

137
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: things that I think about a lot is how the

138
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: state of our nation is really showing scars, scars because

139
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: of years of neglect. You know, there's people we have

140
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: been charged and so has our representatives with the preservation

141
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: and the protection of our constitution. And guess what those representatives,

142
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: in many cases have failed us. There are so many

143
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: in DC still, I mean, we're looking good in some ways. Yeah,

144
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: we have a great president, but still you can see it.

145
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: There's so many in DC who seem to care more

146
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: about their status, their payoffs, their grand standing than they

147
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: care about representing us or or safeguarding our constitution, because

148
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: what are they doing about the safety of those that

149
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: they're supposed to represent when they put others and their

150
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: welfare over our welfare. You know what, Our government has

151
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,479
Speaker 1: become an industry, and just like with any other industry,

152
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: it has its own special interests and their desire for growth.

153
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: They're always looking for ways to increase the power and

154
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: their influence. But I'll tell you something, Unlike other industries

155
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: in the private sector, the government doesn't produce wealth, so

156
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: it has to take wealth by force, and it's through taxes, regulations,

157
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: redistribution of wealth, and all of that. Everything that they

158
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: do because they want that power and influence. They do

159
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: it with a purpose of political outcome. That's that's their purpose,

160
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: a political outcome, when in fact they should be doing

161
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: it with the purpose of benefiting others, a beneficial economic outcome.

162
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: You know what. That's why they hate Doche, That's why

163
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: they hate everything that Trump is doing, because what he's

164
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: doing is shrinking government. What he's doing is taking away

165
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: that power and influence where it is overreaching and not

166
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: what it was meant to be. The organizing principles of

167
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: our constitutional republic, our faith, family, and country, and it

168
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: should be in that order, faith, family, and country. And

169
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: the only thing that stands in the way of the

170
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: government becoming those things, the government becoming the organizing principle

171
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: of our society and our culture even is the Constitution.

172
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: That constitution stands in the way of just about every

173
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: progressive agenda item. And that's why they hate it. That's

174
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: why they look every day for every way possible to

175
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: get around it. I don't you know, I just I

176
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: wonder sometimes what kind of place this would be, this

177
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: America if the spirit of our forefathers, everything that we've

178
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: just talked about, was completely extinguished, completely extinguished, Because you know,

179
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of a goal of theirs. Those men and

180
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: women that forged this republic. They did it by making

181
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: great sacrifices. They did it by taking huge risk. And

182
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: get what, guess what, America is great because of it.

183
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: It can still be great as long as we remain free.

184
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: And we have to remember what it was that made

185
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: this country great in the first place. It's people like you,

186
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: people with a vision, a vision for freedom, a vision

187
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: for liberty. Oh yeah, and guess what a vision for

188
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: safe haven for its citizens. It's like the left always

189
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: wants to stamp out anything, any opposition. They want a

190
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: country with a singular mindset. You can see it, can't you.

191
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: Every day that singular mindset. They want you all to

192
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: fall in line to that. With that, and there's certain

193
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: ideas that they don't like. They hate Americanism, and you

194
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: can see it as they embrace things like gobels, global

195
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: citizenship and all the crazy stuff that's out there. That's

196
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: how much they hate America. They don't even like us.

197
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: They would prefer global citizenship than a citizenship here in

198
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: this great country. And even today, a lot of the

199
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: questions that were raised in those federalist papers, especially number one,

200
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: like how much power the government should have and how

201
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: it should serve the people. You know, those things are

202
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: still not only debated, but they're challenged daily. The issues

203
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: at the heart of our democracy remain just as important

204
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: now as they were back then. And what we continue

205
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: to witness from democrats, particularly the progressives, they're not isolated incidents.

206
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: You know that it's something that reflects a larger trend

207
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: in government, a trend that Madison Hamilton and the others

208
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: warned us of, and we need to take heed. We

209
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: really do stay with me. These three going to talk

210
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: about a lot of things. We're going to talk to

211
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: Will Graham, the grandson of Billy Graham. We're also talking

212
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: to Gordon Chang. I love Gordon Chang. He is so

213
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: on top of everything that's happening with the relationship between China,

214
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: so of course we have an opportunity to discuss with

215
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: him what just went down over the weekend in Switzerland.

216
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: That's a Biggie and one War two Corey Lewandowski. We're

217
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,760

00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,959

300
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: last week in Pittsburgh. I think it was your first

301
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 1: time visiting the city of Pittsburgh.

302
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 5: It was of all the US cities, that's one city

303
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 5: that's kind of snuck past me somehow. I don't know how,

304
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 5: but I've gone to other places, going to the Pittsburgh Airport,

305
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 5: but never been to Pittsburgh. So it was great to

306
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 5: be there for the first time.

307
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: Well, it was great to have you here, It really was.

Speaker 1: It's really impressive, Will, seventy five years and three generations

311
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: of Billy Graham's message of the good News. You must

312
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: be so proud of your heritage, And I was wondering

313
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: what it was that it did for you as a

314
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: child growing up knowing that your grandfather was Billy Graham,

315
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: your dad's Franklin Graham. Did you feel this like impressed

316
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: upon you? Did you feel that you had to follow

317
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: in their footsteps? How did this all work out for you?

318
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 5: Well? I was just born into it, so it was

319
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 5: always kind of for me. And when I look at

320
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 5: my grandfather Billy Graham. I know that he's famous. I

321
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 5: know he's well loved, and I'll say you, that's a

322
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 5: wonderful thing to have. A lot of people have relatives

323
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 5: that people don't like. But I was blessed to have

324
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 5: a grandfather that everybody loved and appreciated and respected and

325
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 5: say with my father and so they're very much a

326
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 5: blessing in my life. And they've opened up so many

327
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 5: doors for me in my life, and I'm very grateful

328
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 5: for that. But at the same time, I realized, even

329
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 5: though my grandfather is a very spiritual man and he

330
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 5: found Christ, I had to find Christ. And so when

331
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 5: I was young, I put my faith in Jesus Christ

332
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 5: when I was about six years old and paved my

333
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 5: life to Jesus. And then God's been using me to

334
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 5: preach the Gospel and other places, just like my grandfather

335
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 5: and my father. So it's a wonderful blessing. I will

336
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 5: say that.

337
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: Oh, I agree, You're very fortunate. And you know, there

338
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: seems to be one of the things I want to

339
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: talk you about. There seems to be a great number

340
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: of young people right now turning to God. I mean,

341
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: they're looking towards faith and We've been watching this happened

342
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: over the past couple of years, and it seems like

343
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: they're seeking a purpose and direction in their life. And

344
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: I think for these young people there's a desire to

345
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: make a connection because, for Heaven's sake, since twenty twenty,

346
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: we've become so isolated, particularly the young, and there is

347
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: no one on one really like you and I have

348
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: experienced in a lifetime. So they have that desire for connection,

349
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: I guess. But it's an ever increasing isolating environment. So

350
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: what are you seeing right now with the youth.

351
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 5: Well, I've seen it. I'm sure there's a lot more

352
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 5: going on in high schools and things like that. I know,

353
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 5: like even my daughter, she's dating a boy and he

354
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 5: became a Christian his last year in high school. And

355
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 5: so these people that are coming from out of high

356
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 5: school going into college. There's God's really moving among colleges

357
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 5: here in the United States. I mean, it started with

358
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 5: Asbury in twenty twenty three. That's where it really got

359
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 5: and then it just seems to die down then pop

360
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 5: up and their schools like Sanford, Ohio, State Auburn. Matter

361
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 5: of fact, the Auburn got in trouble to the coach Freeze.

362
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 5: They're get in trouble because he was baptizing football players.

363
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 5: And I don't know what's wrong with that. How do

364
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 5: you get in trouble for that? No one over those,

365
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 5: but you know, Auburn's a wonderful school, a great school.

366
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 5: But they saw it at Auburn, they saw at the

367
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 5: University Kentucky. Some of these aren't even Christian schools. Most

368
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 5: of these aren't Christian schools. And that's what's really unique

369
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 5: about this. This is where just there's some Christians at

370
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 5: school praying that God would come to visit their school

371
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 5: and to do a mighty work. And God's been answering

372
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 5: those prayers, and it's still going on, and there are

373
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 5: tens and tens of thousands of college kids coming to

374
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 5: know Christ all around our country. And it's just wonderful

375
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 5: to see this taking place.

376
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember you mentioned Ohio State University. I remember

377
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: that there were about sixty students that were baptized during

378
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: a service at the university and the football players were

379
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: the ones that were leading the event, and they saw

380
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: about it. Eight hundred students attend and the hundreds of

381
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: them for free bibles. And actually I think I read

382
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: somewhere that the Bibles are selling like at greater numbers

383
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: than they ever have in history, and a lot of

384
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 1: people are giving the credit to these young people who

385
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: are purchasing them for the first time ever.

386
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 5: You're exactly right. The Bible, it's been in it's always

387
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 5: been the world's greatest selling book ever in the history

388
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 5: of the world is the Bible. But what we've seen

389
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 5: was the decline in people buying Bibles until recently, and

390
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 5: now it's an upward trend of people buying Bibles. Bibles

391
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 5: are the number one seller and the world and it's

392
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 5: an incredible book that changes lives, and we're seeing young

393
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 5: people gobble it up. And I think part of it

394
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 5: is because of the you know, they starve in for

395
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 5: truth and the world that preaches all this stuff that

396
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 5: claims to be true, but they know it's not, and

397
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 5: yet they find that in the Bible, this is truth,

398
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 5: this is real, This is how we can know God,

399
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 5: and that God's not fake, that God is real, and

400
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 5: this is how we can have a personal relationship with Him.

401
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 5: So they're seeing truth and they're finding God at the

402
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 5: same time. And it's a breath of first air form.

403
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 5: So I think it's been a wonderful thing that's been

404
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 5: taking place across US campuses.

405
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. At your event, I met a young

406
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: gen z Or. His name was Avery, and he said

407
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: something that just really struck me. He said that today's

408
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: youth are the most interconnected, and yet they are the

409
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: most isolated. And they're isolated to a degree that you

410
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: and I and other generations were not. So this is

411
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: something quite new for this generation, and I think they're

412
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: finally feeling that they want to be connected, not just

413
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: physically and human relationships, but even spiritually.

414
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 5: Well, you're exactly right. There's a great hunger and the

415
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: souls of men and women very young because they haven't

416
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 5: had that before. And a lot of these families that

417
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 5: they maybe come from great families, maybe they don't come

418
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 5: great families. That doesn't matter, but they're they're looking. They're

419
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 5: spiritually hungry. They're looking for real relationships and that's found

420
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 5: in the Christian faith and finding God because he's our creator.

421
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 5: He's the one that made us, he's the one that

422
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 5: changes us. He's the one that gives this purpose and

423
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 5: meaning in life. And when you find other believers, they

424
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 5: help you along the way and encourage you along the way,

425
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 5: and when you stumble and fall in life, it's them.

426
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 5: They're going to come and help pick you up and

427
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 5: encourage you along the way and pray for you and

428
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 5: to keep you going. And so it's a wonderful body.

429
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 5: The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone.

430
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 5: It was meant to be lived with a group of believers,

431
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 5: and so that's what they're finding, especially on college campuses.

432
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: I love that, I really do. You know, these young

433
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: people are facing so many challenges today, and as you

434
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: said too, they're looking for truth. And you know, so

435
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: many times you will hear someone say, well, this is

436
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: my truth. I'm sorry, there's like just one truth, Okay,

437
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: not yours and his and hers, but one truth. No

438
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: matter what we're talking about, what subject we're on, there

439
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: is one truth. There is truth, and truth is black

440
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: and white. There's a black and white thing going on.

441
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: You're not gray shaded areas. But one of the things too,

442
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: about I wanted to ask you about was being the

443
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: grandson of Billy Graham. How much has that influenced you

444
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 1: and affected you even when you were a young person.

445
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's always had a huge influence on me.

446
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 5: Whether I realized it or not, especially when you're young.

447
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 5: I mean, when I'm talking about young, I'm not five

448
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 5: years old. That's probably the first time I remembered. My

449
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 5: teacher came up to me, a wonderful lady. She put

450
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 5: her hands on my bank, said this is Billy Graham's grandson.

451
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 5: And I'm thinking to myself, how does she know who

452
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 5: my granddady is? You know, I've I never brought him

453
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 5: for you know, show and tale. I never I mean,

454
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 5: I didn't know my granddaddy was famous at the time,

455
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 5: you know. But listen, my granddaddy was a wonderful man.

456
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 5: He but when I was with my grandfather, Billy Graham,

457
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 5: I never we never talked shop like, we didn't talk business.

458
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 5: We just talked about grandfather and grandson. And that's what

459
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 5: I think. He always loved about me, and I always

460
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 5: loved about him. We just we were always grandfather grandson.

461
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 5: Even though he was famous. I knew that my life

462
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 5: was different. It opened up so many doors to allow

463
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 5: me to meet other people simply because I was Billy

464
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 5: Graham's grandson. Not anything I've done, I promise you that.

465
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 5: And it's a big blessing to have someone that like

466
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 5: I said before, people love and adored and respected. He

467
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 5: just opened up so many doors. Things that I don't deserve,

468
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 5: I get because of my granddaddy. And I'm very thankful

469
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 5: for that in life.

470
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: You know, I'm glad you brought all of that up

471
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: because I was at the NRB and I heard one

472
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: of the preachers that I'd been listening to for oh

473
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: my gosh, decades, decades, and he talked about and someone

474
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: asked him, what, what was the most important thing in

475
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 1: your life all these years being a preacher, and on

476
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: the radio, he said, being a grandfather. And I thought,

477
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm just recently, as Linda mentioned earlier

478
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: in the show, a new grandmother, and you know, it

479
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: is significant. I think that relationship between a grandchild and

480
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: their grandparent, and I think it's a time in our lives.

481
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: And I guess I'm speaking now will to some of

482
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: the people that are listening who might be grandparents. It's

483
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: a time in our lives now to take all of

484
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: those things that we've learned and the wisdom that we've gained,

485
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: and to just share that now with another generation, because

486
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: that is the future. That is my future, my child's

487
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: future is in that grandchild. And I think it's just

488
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: so important to really remember our duty as a grandparent

489
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: and what that means spiritually in other ways.

490
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not a grandparent yet now you're.

491
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: Still younger, little, but I'm a young grandparent. I just

492
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: want that known for the record everybody because.

493
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 5: But there are a lot of people that are listening

494
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 5: that are grandparents, and they can have a powerful impact

495
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 5: on their grandchildren, especially when their mom and dad are

496
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 5: busy working and trying to make a living so they

497
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 5: can have a home to live in, and things like

498
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 5: that can be you know, sometimes the parents get tired,

499
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 5: they don't go to church like they should do. But

500
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 5: this is where the grandparents can come in and can

501
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 5: have a huge spiritual impact on their kids and set

502
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 5: the tongue. And when we found out when we're at

503
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 5: the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, when we realize when just

504
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 5: one person gives their life to Christ, whether it's a child,

505
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 5: whether it's a mom or dad, get their life to Christ,

506
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 5: it changes the whole atmosphere of the home and it

507
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 5: can like you know, start leading other people to Christ

508
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 5: in their home. And so I would encourage grandparents, you know,

509
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 5: you know, to speak into their grandchildren's life and their

510
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 5: children's life. Listen, my kids are getting older. I don't

511
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 5: have one that's married yet. I got one engaged, another

512
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 5: one trying to get engaged, and it could. I know

513
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 5: it's going to be soon for me. But what a

514
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 5: great time that you can impact your grandkids as a

515
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 5: grandparent and see, and it always be a parent. You're

516
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 5: always a parent. Like my kids, even if they get married,

517
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 5: I'm still their parent and will still speak truth unto

518
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 5: their life and encourage them to walk along how the

519
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 5: Bible directs him. And so it never stop, never stop

520
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 5: being a parent, never stop being a grandparent, Keep loving

521
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 5: those kids, keep teaching the kids and grandkids.

522
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: You know, that's a good point. And you know, we've

523
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: got a couple of minutes here, and that's all. And

524
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: one of the things I wanted to talk about you

525
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: is that how your grandfather was there for so many

526
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: presidents during his lifetime, regardless of party affiliation. And we'll

527
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: even though, like I'm upset about some things that maybe

528
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: the one party is doing, and they're probably upset with

529
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: what our party is doing, but the bottom line is

530
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: that your grandfather said an example, and I know that

531
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: you're this way too, that we have to look beyond

532
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: that and see the person there. So sometimes we do

533
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: get really caught up in the politics of everything. But

534
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, that's really not where we were meant to be,

535
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: is it. We were meant to be down in the dirt,

536
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: be human and look at each other as another human being.

537
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 5: My grandfather, he was a confident to fourteen or thirteensident

538
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 5: and there's only been forty seven presidents, and so he's

539
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 5: known thirteen of the forty seven presidents. And that's where

540
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 5: these other men, these other presidents would call my grandfather,

541
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 5: especially in time of need. Lynvin Johnson, for example, a Democrat,

542
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 5: he loved my granddaddy, and he struggled with the Vietnam War.

543
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 5: He struggles sending men to die in the Vietnam War,

544
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 5: and he would pray and he would ask my grandfather

545
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 5: come and come by the house and pray with him

546
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 5: and talk about because he really struggled with them. And

547
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 5: then you also had George H. Bush when the Gulf

548
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 5: War started, he asked my grandfather to come into the

549
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 5: White House that night and pray with him as a president,

550
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 5: as a family before they go to war, and so

551
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 5: my grandfather's just he's always been a friend of these

552
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 5: men and continue, I say continue, he continues that even

553
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 5: after Johnson and to the President's always trying to help

554
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 5: him and to pray with him and to encourage them.

555
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing those stories, as are

556
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: quite unique stories. And no other man that I know

557
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: can claim that that they were confidants to thirteen out

558
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: of forty seven presidents. God bless you. Will Graham with
