As our own 24 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 4: moms did. But your story is a compelling one. Buck 25 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 4: you want to dive right back in here. 26 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Sam, I want to give you the opportunity to 27 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: just tell everybody about your story a bit and set 28 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: the table before we dive right into the thick of 29 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: your critical senate race in Nevada swing state. But what 30 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,559 Speaker 1: does everyone? What should everyone know about how you got 31 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: to where you are today and why you're running for senate? 32 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, it started with parents that loved this country 33 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: and instilled that in me as a child. And so look, 34 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: I'm of the generation I call, you know, the post 35 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 3: nine to eleven generation. I was a senior in high 36 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 3: school when our country was attacked, and I had gone 37 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 3: through the process applying to military academies, and before the 38 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 3: end of two thousand and one, I got accepted to 39 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: West Point and reported there in July of O two 40 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: and that kind of put me on the trajectory where 41 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 3: I ended up, you know, commissioning as an infantry officer 42 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 3: serving in Afghanistan. You know, just the greatest you know, 43 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: honor and privilege in my life was to be entrusted 44 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 3: with you know, those those men uh and on mission 45 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 3: for this country and in two thousand and eight, another 46 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 3: unit had been ambushed. They needed support, and we were 47 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: the closest ones to it. And you know, I still 48 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 3: believe that when you've got Americans under fire or under threat, 49 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 3: the right response is to run to the sound of 50 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 3: the guns and go provide that support. And that's what 51 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 3: we did, and unfortunately hit a roadside bomb in the process. 52 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 3: But you know it, uh, it left one of my 53 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 3: soldiers killed and four of us wounded. But here, here's 54 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: the here's the thing I guess I want people to 55 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 3: know in part why I'm here. The greatest lesson I 56 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: ever learned in my life didn't come from a former president, 57 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 3: didn't come from a commanding general. It came from one 58 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 3: of my soldiers, a young man from South Texas. As 59 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: I was burning there, laying in the desert and getting 60 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: the point where I knew I couldn't put the flames 61 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 3: out myself, and I didn't know if anyone else was 62 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: going to get to me. I was wrestling with the 63 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 3: thoughts of how long is he going to take to 64 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: burn to death? What's the transition from this last and 65 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: that's going to be like and I gave up the 66 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: will to live, and in that next moment, I heard 67 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 3: the voice of one of my soldiers and he screamed out, sir, 68 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 3: I've got you, and it gave me a little spark 69 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 3: of hope. But his words weren't enough. If he just 70 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: stood away in safety and screamed out I've got you 71 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: and didn't bring himself to me through the fire and 72 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: began to put out the flames, then I would have died. 73 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 3: But he did come to me. It was his actions 74 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: that actually saved my life. And look, I've detailed that 75 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 3: story and kind of the rest of my life in 76 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 3: this book that I just released last week on the 77 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 3: sixteenth anniversary of my Live Day. It's called a Live Day. 78 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 3: Anyone can get it on Amazon. But that moment has 79 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: propelled me to where I'm at today, and I believe 80 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: that America is hurting. There's a lot of people that 81 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: are in that moment of crisis in their life, and 82 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 3: we've got people who will just call out, like you know, 83 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 3: I've got you, but won't do anything about it. My 84 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: book is about it's not a political book. It's about 85 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 3: giving people hope who are desperate to just survive. And 86 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 3: in my book is sharing that story that message and 87 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: me running for the Senate is me following through. I'm 88 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 3: doing more than just talking but taking action. 89 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 4: We're talking to Captain Sam Brown, and that story you 90 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 4: just told us is incredibly compelling, and I want to 91 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 4: go back to it for a moment. You said in 92 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: that moment you were thinking how long does it take 93 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 4: to burn to death? I can't even imagine what a 94 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 4: feeling like that would be. But as you are now 95 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 4: running for the Senate, I would imagine that whatever can 96 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 4: be said about you when you have stared down death 97 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 4: as you did, it can't really come close to to 98 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 4: really kind of getting to you. What do you think 99 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 4: that moment has meant for your ability to serve Nevada 100 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 4: and still continue to serve your country. I guess that 101 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 4: connection to me is really compelling. Take us into that 102 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: worldview if you could. 103 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 3: Absolutely so sore when you're teetering at that moment, and 104 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: I literally I gave up to will to list because 105 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 3: death was going to be relief from what I was 106 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 3: at and and so to survive. You know this kind 107 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 3: of this miraculous way. I've never lacked conviction that my 108 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: life was spared for a reason, and so you know 109 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: this was this was kind of my my point of 110 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 3: really finding faith in God. And and that has that 111 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: went from being kind of just I head knowledge. I 112 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 3: call it, you know, acknowledging you know, historical facts and 113 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: becoming something that I really truly believe in my heart. 114 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: But I believe that's true for everyone, that we're all 115 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 3: here for a purpose and a reason. And that experience 116 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 3: and the three years that followut I mean, my recovery 117 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 3: took three years. I was in and out of the 118 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 3: hospital over thirty surgeries. It was grueling, and that was 119 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 3: just the beginning of the rest of my life. But 120 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 3: that it steeled me, it hardened me for just such 121 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 3: a time as this. And we all have the option 122 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 3: in life. Are we going to engage? Are we going 123 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: to use the talents we have or the endurance we've 124 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 3: built for a for a higher purpose. And having come 125 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: through that, I never lack conviction. And if anything, the 126 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: you know, the the circumstances that we find ourselves in, 127 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 3: this gives me additional conviction and helps me dig in 128 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 3: even more and in my pursuit of trying to serve 129 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 3: others who who frankly need a champion. 130 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: We're speaking to Captain Sam Brown, who is running in 131 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: Nevada telling us about his story. His book is a 132 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: live day Sam you are, I mean, it's it's an 133 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: amazing story. And this audience, you know, in particular, appreciates it. 134 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: A lot of current or former military and a lot 135 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: of military families listening in. You're stepping into the arena. 136 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: You're in the arena right now, running against an entrenched 137 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: democrat in Nevada. It is always uphill going against a Democrat. 138 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: I wanted you to tell everybody how this race is 139 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: shaping up so far and what the differences are between 140 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: the leadership that you would bring the United States Senate 141 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: versus your opponent, Jackie Rosen. 142 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. So most of the listeners, because they're you know, 143 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 3: politically attuned, are going to be familiar with the name 144 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 3: Harry Reid. And so you know, Jackie Roseen is her 145 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: start point is Harry Reid. She was a protege of 146 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 3: his and even though he's dead now, you know, his 147 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 3: legacy still lives on and he'd created, you know, somewhat 148 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 3: of a machine here that brought her into the Senate 149 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen. She had served one term in the 150 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 3: House starting in twenty sixteen, but she's really been absent 151 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 3: from the state. And as you can imagine, someone who 152 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 3: didn't have to really work hard and create her own 153 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 3: path to representing the people of Nevada, she's she's just 154 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: well conditioned to follow leadership, whether it's Chuck Schumer or 155 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 3: Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris she has been just a 156 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 3: follower along the way. Now, the impact that it's had 157 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: here in the state is we've got the second highest 158 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: unemployment rate in the nation, We've got the second highest 159 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 3: energy costs in the nation, and people have been really 160 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: economically hurt by this. She also sits on the Homeland 161 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 3: Security Committee, a committee in a position where she got 162 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 3: to be able to push back, bring accountability, provide oversight 163 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: on the border crisis. And yet when President Trump was 164 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: still in office, she tried to slow roll and pushed 165 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 3: back on his initiatives and under you know, Kamala Harris, 166 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 3: as the borders are in Joe Biden's leadership, she's done 167 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: nothing to bring accountability there. My offer to the folks 168 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 3: is quite the off. We do need someone who understands 169 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 3: the hardships of these economic policies. Look, here's an interesting contrast. 170 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: Six years ago while she was running for Senate as 171 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 3: a congresswoman, I was working in an Amazon warehouse. I 172 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 3: know what it's like to work hard, you know, a 173 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 3: ten hour shift to be able to afford just enough today. 174 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: You know, I'm a successful businessman. I'd started a business 175 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 3: over these last six years, but you know, things are 176 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: still tight for my family, just like a lot of Nevadas. 177 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 3: I bring that perspective, and that's what we need to 178 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 3: someone who understands the impact of the policies and can 179 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 3: lead on them. 180 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 2: We're talking to Captain Sam Brown. 181 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 4: You're going to be with President Trump later today in Nevada, 182 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 4: which is a battleground state. For people out there that 183 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 4: are listening to us right now. We know the Senate 184 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 4: race in twenty twenty two came. 185 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 2: Down to a razor's edge. 186 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 4: I would imagine that your polling and your data shows 187 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 4: that the whole state of Nevada is going to come 188 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 4: down to a couple of thousand votes one way or 189 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 4: the other. In all sincerity, how can people help you? 190 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 4: What do you see on the ground and what are 191 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 4: you expecting with this rally that Trump is going to 192 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 4: have with you later this afternoon this evening. 193 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, people are hungry for leadership, and you're right. Just 194 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 3: two years ago it was the closest Senate race in 195 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 3: the nation. It was a razor's edge. We're standing polling 196 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 3: kind of shaping up like that again. But we've got 197 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 3: additional things in our favor. One of the reasons that 198 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 3: race was lost last cycle is we had Republicans not 199 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 3: turning out. There was over one hundred thousand Republicans that 200 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 3: just didn't come out to vote, and so we've got 201 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 3: to get everyone committed to voting and you know, being 202 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: involved to the extent they can. People can go to 203 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 3: Captain Sam Brown dot com to contribute from across the nation. 204 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: But if you live in Nevada, you know people in Nevada. 205 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, it's not who raises 206 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 3: the most money that wins, that who have the most 207 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 3: votes that wins. And our paulling is showing that it's 208 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 3: very close. But we're we're pushing into into groups of 209 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 3: independents who haven't traditionally voted for Republicans, and Republicans haven't 210 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 3: really pursued. But I believe that, you know, sort of 211 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 3: a business philosophy, anyone can be a customer, any voter 212 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 3: can any any registered voter out there could vote for me? 213 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: I need to go make the taste. We've been doing 214 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 3: that and we've seen the polls really tighten up and 215 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: we're right within the margin everra. 216 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 4: Now, outstanding stuff, Captain Sam Brown. If we were in Nevada, 217 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 4: we'd be voting for you. We know your mom is 218 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 4: thank her for listening. But we would also encourage everybody 219 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 4: out there in the state of Nevada get out work. 220 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 4: If you can afford, go donate at Captain Sam Brown 221 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 4: dot com.

I think 298 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 4: the difference between Captain Sam Brown and the woman who 299 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 4: would be there without him Buck is a tremendous difference 300 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 4: as well. 301 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 1: Look, I think that you're going to see in some 302 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: of these Senate races, as you were mentioning, very very 303 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: tight margins and this notion of oh, it's not worth it, 304 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: or the system is all screwed over and it's all 305 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: a mess or whatever. Every vote is going to count, 306 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: especially in these important states.

I'm now a grandfather. 407 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 6: You know I didn't. 408 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 5: I didn't pass away in my youth like a like 409 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 5: a like a teenage actor who just got so strung 410 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 5: out on which happens in a time. 411 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 4: Honestly, there's not very many that grow up, have six kids, 412 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 4: have one wife and become a grandkid who were a grandfather, 413 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 4: who were pop stars. 414 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 5: So I mean that is a rare pathway. That is 415 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 5: a blessing that I'm so grateful for. And uh, yes, 416 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 5: I wrote this book that you're speaking of. It's called 417 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 5: Born to Be Brave. I have been spending the last 418 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 5: couple of years writing children's books and reading them to 419 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 5: three to five year olds to teach them things like 420 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 5: the fruit of the spirit, love, kindness, faithfulness, self control, 421 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,479 Speaker 5: and humility, contra drag queens, teaching them about pride and 422 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,959 Speaker 5: self empowerment rather than self control and finding myself inundated 423 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 5: by parents who say that they feel silenced and marginalized, afraid, 424 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 5: they're not sure what to do, and then they throw 425 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 5: some of them throw a religious element into it and say, 426 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 5: but that's the way the Bible. 427 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 6: Says it's supposed to be. 428 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 5: It's just gonna get worse and there's really nothing we 429 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 5: can do about it, and I go time out. No, 430 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 5: I think that's totally misplaced. That hopelessness is found nowhere 431 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 5: in the history of the family of faith, or the 432 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 5: scriptures or what I'm seeing right now. And I realized, 433 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 5: I need to put gas in the tank of the parents. 434 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 5: I need to put wind in the sales of the grandparents, 435 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 5: the people who actually understand why this is the greatest 436 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 5: country in the world, so that they can have the 437 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 5: bravery encourage to get our kids to a place of 438 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 5: blessing and protection and teach them the things that we 439 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 5: are losing in this country. 440 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: It's nice to hear a sense of optimism about how 441 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: the battle for spirituality or the spiritual battle is playing 442 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: out in this country and that I guess the good 443 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: guys and gals can win here. I mean, you're mentioning 444 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: obviously the book, I assume is a bit of a 445 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: template or some encouragement, perhaps you know, coaching from the 446 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: sidelines here for how people can get more involved in 447 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: these battles themselves or just give them a framework, a 448 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: template for doing it. The book is Born to be Brave, 449 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: How to be a part of America's spiritual comeback. And So, 450 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: as a new grandparent, I got to say, you know, 451 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: you've got a lot of grandparents listening right now. I 452 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: feel like the older I get, the more wisdom I 453 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: feel comes from the older generation in a lot of ways, 454 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. How does that play into 455 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: the spiritual comeback? 456 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, many grandparents feel like, well I did my time 457 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 5: and I've had my opportunity to make a difference. 458 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, you're just getting started. 459 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 5: If you are somebody who loves God, loves your family, 460 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 5: and loves this country, listen, don't get bitter when you 461 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 5: watch the news. Get better, don't be a whiner, be 462 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 5: a winner. Don't complain about the culture. Create the culture 463 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 5: you have, the time, you have, the opportunity with the 464 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 5: next generation, they need you pour into them. That's what 465 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 5: I need to be doing. Let me ask you this question, Clay, 466 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 5: what if the current cultural setback is really a divine 467 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 5: setup for a spiritual comeback led by the family of faith. 468 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 5: What if the political corruption, the moral collapse, the economic decline, 469 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 5: the spiritual apathy is really a wake up call for 470 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 5: those of us who know exactly what's going on. 471 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 6: We've been red pilled. We see what's happening. 472 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 5: The promises of the enemy are turning out to be fake, 473 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 5: and now it's our time. 474 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 6: To red pill everybody else. But we've got to do 475 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 6: it the right way. 476 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 5: The only way out of the matrix, first of all, 477 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 5: is to start with the heart of humility and love. 478 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 5: And then we've got to speak the truth with boldness 479 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 5: and with courage, starting with myself, my family, and then 480 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 5: work our way out through our communities, to the state 481 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,959 Speaker 5: and to the local level. And I believe that if 482 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 5: we lean into this bravery and courage that God has 483 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 5: given his faithful followers, we can and we will realign 484 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 5: the nation with biblical, constitutional American values. It's happened before 485 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 5: it can happen again. It's called a great awakening, and. 486 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 2: We're due for one. 487 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 4: That was really well said, Kirk. And given your background 488 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 4: in Hollywood, I have a question for you. I just 489 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 4: mentioned we saw the Ami Racist premiere Matt Walsh's documentary. 490 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 5: Such a great movie should be required viewing for every American. 491 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 4: I thought it was fantastic, He's going to be on 492 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 4: with us Monday. But it seems to me, and I'm 493 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 4: curious if you feel this based on your background, that 494 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 4: even in Hollywood. I was reading in the Wall Street 495 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 4: Journal magazine about they're making an HBO. I think it 496 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 4: was series about the biblical David. There certainly has been 497 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 4: a lot, it feels to me, whether it's the Sound 498 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 4: of Freedom, whether it's so many different movies out there, 499 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 4: ordinary angels that came out. I believe the Irwin brothers 500 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 4: are involved in those films, who are also located to 501 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 4: a large degree here in Nashville. Do you sense that 502 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 4: Hollywood is recognizing that there is a great cultural hunger 503 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 4: for stories such as these and that that is allowing 504 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 4: people to maybe connect their emptiness inside with recognizing where 505 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 4: it's coming from. 506 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 2: Am I crazy? 507 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 4: Or is that starting to happen even from the cultural perspective? 508 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 5: From what you see, I feel exactly what you're feeling, 509 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 5: and I see what you see, and what I believe 510 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 5: is that Hollywood has been ripping off the Biblical narrative 511 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 5: since the very beginning. They have wisely recognized the stories 512 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 5: that resonate most violently with the human hearts in a 513 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 5: good way. Stories of redemption, the hero's journey. You see 514 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 5: it in every Marvel movie, in every Batman movie. You 515 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 5: see it everywhere. And it's the against all odds, when 516 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 5: all hope seems lost, story when the underdog undergoes a 517 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 5: transformation and comes back from the impossible to win the day. 518 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 5: And it's in Lord of the Rings, it's in Narnia, 519 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 5: it's everywhere. And that's why I try to make the 520 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 5: movies that I make, the books that I write, and 521 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 5: the cartoons and children's programs that I'm producing. So that's 522 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 5: why people need to go see movies like that, the 523 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 5: movies you just talked about, Sound of Freedom, or the 524 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 5: Kendricks Brothers new movie that's out called The Forge, about 525 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 5: men mentoring and discipling the younger generation of men to 526 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 5: give them a sense of identity and purpose and destiny. 527 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 5: And that's why I want people to get this book 528 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 5: I wrote, Born to Be Brave, because when we support 529 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 5: projects like this, when we listen to radio stations like yours, 530 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 5: what does that do? Not only does it equip us 531 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 5: and educate us and open our eyes so we can 532 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 5: do something, It then sends massive financial shock waves to 533 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 5: the industry and blows open the doors. So we have 534 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,479 Speaker 5: more radio stations like yours, We have more books like 535 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 5: Born to Be Brave, We have more movies like The 536 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 5: Passion of the Christ or Sound of Freedom or whatever 537 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 5: it is to combat the evil and begin to turn 538 00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 5: the tide of the culture. Remember, a tiny vocal minority 539 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 5: group with ridiculous ideas that are fake and lies have 540 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 5: managed to transform what is normal today. Think of what 541 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 5: we could do if we got a plan, work together 542 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 5: and our cause was just. 543 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 2: I feeling? 544 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 6: So can I can? 545 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 2: I ask? 546 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 6: Here's what I'd love more than anything. 547 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 5: This is the first book that I've ever written for adults, 548 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 5: and I want more than anything to write more books 549 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 5: like this. And I want all of my friends, who 550 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 5: are better authors than I am, to write more books 551 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 5: like this. And the way that we can do that 552 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 5: is if this makes it to whatever the numbers are, 553 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 5: to put me on the New York Times bestseller list. 554 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 5: That sends a message to the publishing industry that America 555 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 5: wants more about about a spiritual comeback in America, a 556 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 5: reviving of American first principles that leads to our blessing 557 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 5: and protection and then we can flood the market with 558 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. I don't want it to be fringe. 559 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 5: I want it to be mainstream. Spiritual comeback plus capitalism. 560 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 5: You're in the right place there you go. 561 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 2: Thank you. 562 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, good Kirk cameraon Everybody Born to Be Brave, How 563 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: to be a part of America's spiritual comeback. 564 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 2: Check out your copy of it. 565 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 3: Kirk. 566 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 2: Always great to have you man.

Preborn is the name 574 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: of this organization. They've got a team that's nationwide, working 575 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: in clinics and communities and neighborhoods where there are very 576 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: high abortion rates, but that's where they can go to 577 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: save the most lives. Over the course of the last 578 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: twenty years, they've saved three hundred thousand unborn babies. Preborn's 579 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: network of clinics does this by first providing counseling and 580 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: a free ultrasound to women with unplanned pregnancies, because when 581 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: mom sees that tiny baby on the screen, sees the 582 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: heart beating, it's just so much easier for her to 583 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: make the choice for life. I've met some of these women. 584 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: I've been to a preborn clinic. I've seen myself the 585 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: incredible and divine experience of watching these teams save lives 586 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: day in and day out. They need your help, though 587 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: they need funding. They can't do this alone. An ultrasound 588 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: for a baby at preborn cost just twenty eight dollars, 589 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: and that one ultrasound for a mom in crisis could 590 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: be the difference between life or abortion for that baby. 591 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: If you can donate that amount, that would be so 592 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: so kind. But could you donate five times that amount? 593 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: Some of you can one hundred and forty dollars that 594 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: would contribute to saving five babies lives.
