13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 4: Most of you are aware that it yesterday's National Prayer Service.

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 4: Episcopalian Bishop Bud delivered a homily that many would think

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 4: would be about restoring faith in America, but instead diverged

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 4: into somewhat of a lecture while the President and Vice

17
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 4: President had to reverently sit there and listen.

18
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: Here's a clip.

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 5: Let me make one final plea, mister President, millions have

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 5: put their trust in you. As you told the nation yesterday,

21
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 5: you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 5: In the name of our God, I ask you to

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 5: have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared.

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 6: Now.

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 5: There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in democratic, Republican

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 5: and independent families, some who fear for their lives. And

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 5: the people, the people who pick our crops and clean

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 5: our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 5: packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants,

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 5: and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not

31
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 5: be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast

32
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 5: majority of immigrants are not criminals.

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: Sure if that was the appropriate time to make a

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: political statement there, you can see from the look on

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: the President and Vice president's faces that they were caught

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: off guard by this and likely annoyed.

37
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 2: By it too.

38
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 3: Joining us now to discuss this event and the role

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: that faith should be playing in our president's posture and

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: our nation is doctor Rob Pacienza, CEO of Coral Ridge

41
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 3: Ministries right here in Florida. It's also the founder of

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: the Institute of Faith and Culture.

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show, pastor, thanks for having me on.

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 4: Well, Doctor Pascienzia, I want to get your reaction as

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 4: a pastor to yesterday's service, because as a pastor, of course,

46
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 4: you must shepherd your flock, even those who lead our nation.

47
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: But do you feel that Bishop bud took.

48
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: Shepherding to a level of lecturing the president on rather

49
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 4: socially liberal topics.

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 6: Well, I happen to be there in the National Cathedral.

51
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 7: I was sitting just to the right of the pulpit,

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 7: and it was amazing as I was sitting there, thinking,

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 7: this is.

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 6: Not Christian shepherding.

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 7: We are called to, yes, speak in a loving way,

56
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 7: but we're called to speak the truth and love. And

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 7: the most unloving thing that we can do is to

58
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 7: embrace the lies of our culture, the lies of progressive

59
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 7: politics and the lies of cultural Marxism and wokeism. And

60
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 7: that's exactly what we saw on display. So the most

61
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 7: loving thing we can do is to challenge the cultural lies,

62
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 7: to confront it with truth in order for the next

63
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 7: generation to not be continued to be swept away.

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 3: So you were actually there, did you have a view

65
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: of the President and Vice president? Did they look just

66
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: as annoyed as they did on the video feeds?

67
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 7: Absolutely to my right was the bishop preaching in the pulpit,

68
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 7: and to my left was the President and Vice president.

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 6: We just looked at him.

70
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 7: Some of us mouth to him, we are sorry, we

71
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 7: apologizing to him, and let him know that we are

72
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 7: praying for him even through this process.

73
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 6: But yeah, you could just tell not.

74
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 7: Only were they disturbed, but every other religious leader that

75
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 7: was there, particularly those that adhere to the historic Christian faith,

76
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 7: Unlike the bishop, we were all taken aback, absolutely appalled,

77
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 7: and let the record be known that what we heard

78
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 7: yesterday at the National Cathedral is not historic Christianity. It's

79
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 7: not even a subset of Christianity. It's the new religion

80
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 7: of wokeism. That it was being advanced from the pulpit

81
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 7: and unfortunately being advanced through mainline Protestantism all across America.

82
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was certainly something that was unprecedented,

83
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: especially historically speaking. So, Pastor, if you had been chosen

84
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 4: to deliver this sermon yesterday, what instead would your message

85
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 4: have been.

86
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 7: I would have reminded him of how he relied on

87
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 7: the doctrine of divine providence during his assassination attempt in July.

88
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 7: I would remind him that God has protected his life

89
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 7: for a reason, as he mentioned in his inauguration speech,

90
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 7: and that as the many presidents that have gone before

91
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 7: him have always relied on the sovereign hand of God

92
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 7: over this nation and the presidency and over the White House,

93
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 7: that he would continue to look to Him for strength

94
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 7: and for wisdo. This would have been an opportunity for

95
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 7: any Bible believing pastor to speak the truth and love,

96
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 7: to be an encouragement to the new president, to remind

97
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 7: him to fix his eyes on Jesus and to really

98
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 7: send a message of hope to him, to his family,

99
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 7: to the Vice President, to the cabinet, and to the

100
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 7: rest of the watching world. This is a great time

101
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 7: to be an American that we have a lot of

102
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 7: reason for hope. And what the bishop offered yesterday was

103
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 7: nothing but unifying. It was nothing, but it was actually

104
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 7: a divisive and destructive.

105
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 6: For the nation.

106
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly divisive.

107
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 8: You know.

108
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 3: I don't think it was really an appropriate time to

109
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: be making all of those political statements, But I do

110
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: want to talk about the role that faith can and

111
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: should play from a governmental perspective.

112
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: Non Christians will cry.

113
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: Separation of church and state, but a president doesn't need

114
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 3: to be tight lipped about his faith or how his

115
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: faith shapes his leadership and policy, particularly when it comes

116
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: to children.

117
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 2: How does a president thread that needle.

118
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 7: Our founders never envisioned a secular public square. They envisioned

119
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 7: a public square where all faiths would be welcomed. They envisioned,

120
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 7: as the First Amendment shows, the free exercise of religion,

121
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 7: because they understood that a common morality and a common

122
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 7: belief in an absolute being is the only way in

123
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 7: which this nation would flourish. And we've experienced two hundred

124
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 7: and fifty years of flourishing because faith has.

125
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 6: Been welcomed in the public square.

126
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 7: So with the rise of secularism, people of faith need

127
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 7: to stand up and speak out and realize that it's

128
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 7: been our common.

00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 4: that it yesterday's national prayer service. Episcopalian Bishop bud delivered

142
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: a homily that many would think would be about restoring

143
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: faith in America, but instead diverged into somewhat of a

144

Speaker 4: sit there and listen.

146
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: Here's a clip.

147
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 5: Let me make one final plea, mister President, millions have

148
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: put their trust in you, and as you told the

149
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 5: nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a

150
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 5: loving God. In the name of our God, I ask

151
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 5: you to have mercy upon the people in our country

152
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 5: who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender

153
00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 5: children in democratic, Republican and independent family. Yes, some who

154
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 5: fear for their lives. And the people, the people who

155
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 5: pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor

156
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 5: in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes

157
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 5: after we eat in restaurants, and work the night shifts

158
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 5: in hospitals. They may not be citizens or have the

159
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 5: proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.

160
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, not sure if that was the appropriate time to

161
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 3: make a political statement there.

162
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: You can see from the look on.

163
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 3: The President and Vice president's faces that they were caught

164
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: off guard by this and likely annoyed by it too.

165
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: Joining us now to discuss this event and the role

166
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 3: that faith should be playing in our president's posture and

167
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: our nation is doctor Rob Pacienza, CEO of Coral Ridge

168
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 3: Ministries right here in Florida, is also the founder.

169
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: Of the Institute of Faith and Culture. Welcome to the show, pastor,

170
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: thanks for having me on.

171
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: Well, doctor Passienzia, I want to get your reaction as

172
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: a pastor to yesterday service, because as a pastor, of course,

173
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 4: you must shepherd your flock, even those who lead our nation.

174
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: But do you feel that Bishop.

175
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: Bud took shepherding to a level of lecturing the president

176
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: on rather socially liberal topics.

177
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 6: Well, I happen to be there in the National Cathedral.

178
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 7: I was sitting just to the right of the pulpit

179
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 7: and it was amazing as I was sitting there thinking

180
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 7: this is not Christian shepherding. We are called to, yes

181
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 7: speak in a loving way. But we're called to speak

182
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 7: the truth and love, and the most unloving thing that

183
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 7: we can do is to embrace the lies of our culture,

184
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 7: the lies of progressive politics and the lies of cultural

185
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 7: Marxism and wokeism.

186
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 6: And that's exactly what we saw on display.

187
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 7: So the most loving thing we can do is to

188
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 7: challenge the cultural lies, to confront it with truth in

189
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,599
Speaker 7: order for the next generation to not be continued to

190
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 7: be swept away.

191
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: So you were actually there, did you have a view

192
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: of the President and vice president? Did they look just

193
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 3: as annoyed as they did on the video feeds?

194
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 6: Absolutely?

195
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 7: To my right was the bishop preaching in the pulpit,

196
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 7: and to my left was the President and vice president.

197
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 6: We just looked at him.

198
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 7: Some of us mouth to him, we are sorry, we

199
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 7: apologizing to him, and let him know that we are

200
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 7: praying for him even through this process. But yeah, you

201
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 7: could just tell not only were they disturbed, but every

202
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 7: other religious leader that was there, particularly those that adhere

203
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 7: to the historic Christian faith. Unlike the bishop, we were

204
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 7: all taken aback, absolutely appalled, and let the record be

205
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,359
Speaker 7: known that what we heard yesterday at the National Cathedral

206
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 7: is not historic Christianity. It's not even a subset of Christianity,

207
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 7: it's the new religion of Wokeism. That it was being

208
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 7: advanced from the pulpit and unfortunately being advanced through mainline

209
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 7: Protestantism all across America.

210
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was certainly something that was unprecedented,

211
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 4: especially historically speaking. So, pastor, if you had been chosen

212
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 4: to deliver this sermony yesterday, what instead would your message

213
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: have been.

214
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 7: I would have reminded him of how he relied on

215
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 7: the doctrine of divine providence during his assassination attempt in July.

216
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 7: I would have remind him that God has protected his

217
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 7: life for.

218
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 6: A reason, as he mentioned in his inauguration.

219
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 7: Speech, and that as the many presidents that have gone

220
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 7: before him have always relied on the sovereign hand of

221
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 7: God over this nation and over the presidency and over

222
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 7: the White House, that he would continue to look to

223
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 7: Him for strength and for wisdom. This would have been

224
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 7: an opportunity for any Bible believing pastor to speak the

225
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 7: truth and love, to be an encouragement to the new president,

226
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 7: to remind him to fix his eyes on Jesus and

227
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 7: to really send a message of hope to him, to

228
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 7: his family, to the Vice President, to the cabinet, and

229
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 7: to the rest of the watching world.

230
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 6: This is a great time to be an American.

231
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 7: That we have a lot of reason for hope, and

232
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 7: what the bishop offered yesterday was nothing but unifying. It

233
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 7: was nothing, but it was actually a divisive and destructive

234
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 7: for the nation.

235
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:06,800

313
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean it was such

314
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 15: a great way to start the day. You talk about

315
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 15: the direction that our country is heading and the direction

316
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 15: that it needs to be heading, and you think about

317
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 15: where we were for the last four years and where

318
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,160

320
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 15: getting back and no question about it, the.

321
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 6: Holy Spirit was there.

322
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 15: We had prayer warriors from around the world, from probably

323
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 15: fifty different countries that were all there. It was absolutely

324
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 15: an honor and to be able to be you know,

325
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 15: MC and a big part of that was just it

326
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 15: was just a pure honor for me.

327
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 6: But no doubt about it.

328
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 15: God was in the room and you could feel that

329
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 15: kind of set the stage for the direction that He

330
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 15: wants to take our country. And you can already feel

331
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 15: that in what the policies are outside of that. You

332
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 15: guys were just talking about it outside of the unfortunately

333
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 15: that terrible bishop at the National Cathedral. That's definitely not

334
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 15: the way that God wants to take our country. But

335
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 15: there is a way, and it's back to his biblical principles.

336
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very well said there, Ben, and the pun

337
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 3: here is very much intended. We are headed in the

338
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 3: right direction, full steam ahead. President Trump got right to work.

339
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 3: Moments after his swearing in ceremony. He signed more than

340
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: two hundred executive actions and orders to get.

341
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: Our country back on track.

342
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 3: We know that you've been dedicated to reporting on the

343
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 3: border crisis during the last disaster of an administration. So

344
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: what changes have already been implemented walk us through some

345
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 3: of that, and what can we expect to see when

346
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: it comes to immigration policy moving forward.

347
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 15: Well, first off, it's the posture of President Trump. So

348
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 15: even before you get to the executive orders, the fact

349
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 15: that President Trump is a closed border president.

350
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 6: The world knows it.

351
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 15: Mexico knows it, Central America knows it, Guatemala, Panama, all

352
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 15: these countries know it. They are already even before he

353
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 15: was taking office, they were already setting up for what

354
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 15: was coming.

355
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 6: So the flow.

356
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 15: We're going to see almost immediately slow down. It already

357
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 15: has slowed down significantly. But when it comes to executive

358
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 15: orders re enacting and remain in Mexico policy, immediately ending

359
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 15: the CBP one app and actually one of our own

360
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 15: Oscar Blue Ramirez, broke that story in Tijuana. There were

361
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 15: people at just a few minutes after twelve who had

362
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 15: had their appointments ready to come across the border, and

363
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 15: those appointments were canceled. Of course, the mainstream media is

364
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 15: down there to do the subfest, but the reality is

365
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 15: none of that was legal to begin with, So that

366
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 15: ended immediately. You've got all the border wall going back

367
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 15: into effect, and hopefully what we're going to see, there's

368
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 15: a couple things that still need to happen. These NGOs

369
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 15: need to be defunded. All of this money needs to

370
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 15: be taken away from all of these organizations that are

371
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 15: aiding and abetting the invasion of our country. And the

372
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 15: other one that still hasn't happened that I do anticipate

373
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 15: happening at some point to some extent, is labeling the

374
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 15: cartel's terrorist organization or they can can be done simply

375
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 15: as national security threats. You have the same power mechanics

376
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 15: they're theme. It's basically the same implications if they're labeled

377
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 15: national security threats. But already, even without the executive orders,

378
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 15: it's just President Trump's posture of putting America first of

379
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 15: only allowing legal immigration. And one thing he's also doing

380
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 15: is changing the asylum process to make it so you

381
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 15: can't game the system. And that one because ninety percent

382
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 15: of the people come over claiming asylum, they know they

383
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 15: don't qualify for it, they end up being denied it,

384
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 15: but then you have to track them all down and

385
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 15: that's where it becomes difficult. He also gave the power

386
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 15: back to ICE and Board of Control to be able

387
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 15: to do their job. So basically it's a one hundred

388
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 15: and eighty degree switch from the direction we were heading under.

389
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 4: Joe Biden, and that's a good thing, and that's exactly

390
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 4: what they voted him in to do. Ben He's also

391
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 4: issued pardons for a majority of the January sixth defendants.

392
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 4: As we know, Ashley Babbitt was one of the protesters

393
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 4: that day, but sadly was killed during the riot at

394
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 4: the Capitol. I understand that you had a chance to

395
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 4: interview Ashley Babbitt's mom. Can you tell us about that

396
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 4: conversation you had.

397
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 15: Well, it's heartbreaking. I mean, you think about Mickey, She's

398
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 15: been through this. You know, all of these January sixth

399
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 15: defendants that have been and political prisoners, hostages, whatever you

400
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 15: want to call them, that have been stuck in jail

401
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 15: for the last four years, they got to go home yesterday.

402
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 6: Most of them.

403
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 15: You know, there's a few that are still being held

404
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 15: because they have outstanding cases in state courts and other

405
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 15: extenuating circumstances that don't apply. But the vast majority of

406
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 15: them got to go home. Ashley never gets to go home.

407
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 15: The only time Mickey will see her is next when

408
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 15: they get to heaven.

409
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 6: So that was difficult.

410
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 15: But she saw this fight as a fight for Ashley,

411
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 15: and I'll let her say it herself. If we can

412
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 15: throw to that clip nine and three days.

413
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 16: Ashley, you think about Ashley's sacrifice, we'll just talk about

414
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 16: that first.

415
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 17: Walk me back to the beginning.

416
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 13: Well, Ashley was a United States Air Force veteran, deployed

417
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 13: the Middle East several times and came home and opened

418
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 13: a small business in California with her husband and my

419
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 13: oldest son, and life was good. And then you know,

420
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 13: she came to express her grievances about the stolen election,

421
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 13: about the Max the vax Man date, about the mask mandate,

422
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 13: about the shutting down of the businesses and ruining people's lives.

423
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 13: And it's just ironic that so many hours I spent

424
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 13: worrying about her when she was overseas to become home

425
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 13: and be shot at a Trump rally is just beyond

426
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 13: horrific and life altering.

427
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 6: And you know, as she was.

428
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 13: Just and she was an amazing person, full of life,

429
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 13: and squosed a lot of life from for thirty five years.

430
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 18: And then you know, we came.

431
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 19: I came here to.

432
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: Just try to see some sort of justice for her,

433
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 2: you know.

434
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 19: Because the things not only did they kill her, he

435
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 19: lied about her, and then they promoted her killer and

436
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 19: then they housed him in government housing and then.

437
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 13: You know, kind of paid him off. And then as

438
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 13: things came out, you know, when it was discovered that

439
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 13: he's such a dirty cop with such a disciplinary record

440
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 13: dating back decades, and you realize that he's the American citizen.

441
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 13: They shouldn't have been there that day, and there's so

442
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 13: many people covering up for him. It just becomes intolerable.

443
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 13: So coming here to d C hold individual giving these

444
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 13: guys a trying to give the guys inside of boys.

445
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 13: They call out and talk to us every night, we

446
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 13: seeing the national anthem together, they blanked their lights and

447
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 13: it's a it's a connective experience, and it just was it.

448
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 8: Was just a way to do something besides ghosts her crazy,

449
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 8: you know, and that we were during the day, we would,

450
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 8: you know, go visit our congressman and go to congressional

451
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 8: hearings where you discover that the division in.

452
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 13: This country is just caused by our government. It's they

453
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 13: divide us by design, They divide us by example. You know,

454
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 13: when you watch how the Republicans treat the Democrats and

455
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 13: vice versa, you understand that they do they separate us

456
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 13: by example, and that I think that. People say there's

457
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 13: a two party system. I don't think that anymore. You

458
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 13: have Republicans, you have Democrats, and you have MAGA, which

459
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 13: is the movement of America. And I think that President

460
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,239
Speaker 13: Frump will be a president for all American people if

461
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 13: they would let him. I think that he is. He

462
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 13: is going to be just the leader of the renaissance

463
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 13: of this country, the rejuvenation.

464
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 16: I heard, I've heard you say, you know you're out

465
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 16: here because Ashley told you to come out here.

466
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 13: Well, when I was able to sleep enough, I had

467
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 13: a dream and she had been arrested for shooting a

468
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 13: rocket around the moon that let off these little red,

469
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 13: white and blue streamers, and I was I went to

470
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 13: go see her in a jail cell, and I said,

471
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 13: you know, first I wanted her get my purse. I

472
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 13: have this big cross body personally. Just give him my

473
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 13: personal I'll sneak you out of here. So no, I said,

474
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 13: we'll tell him you didn't do it, And she said,

475
00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 13: I won't tell him.

476
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 6: I and do it.

477
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 13: I would and I would do it again. And in

478
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 13: that I hadn't. I wasn't aware there were people in jail.

479
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 13: I mean, I had no idea there were political prisoners,

480
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 13: but in the dream there were people in the jail

481
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 13: cell and she could say, said.

482
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 19: Mamma mcgonner, these are the people you have to hurry about.

483
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 19: And so just became more and more evident of this

484
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 19: a whole.

485
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 13: Main street America being persecuted to perpetuate a lie told

486
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 13: by the government, you know, and by the mainstream media.

487
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 13: And if you want to invest any of your own time,

488
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 13: you know, they tempted us and teased us without forty

489
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 13: four thousand hours of footage that they never showed us.

490
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 13: But what they didn't realize is America had enough crowdsource video.

491
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 13: And then you get into court and you're not allowed

492
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 13: to present a defense for yourself, you know very much.

493
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 17: You go into these courtrooms where I.

494
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 13: Have sat in many and it's you're judged by the

495
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 13: day on the calendar and not your actions. You're also

496
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 13: in a city where the jury considers themselves victims. Everybody

497
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 13: in the city considers themselves a victim of January sixth,

498
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 13: and yet these are the people that are sitting in

499
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 13: judgment of other men and women.

500
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben, that was absolutely heartbreaking to hear her recount

501
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: and remember her daughter, and you know, promises made, promises kept.

502
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: President Trump said that he was going to pardon the

503
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 3: January sixth defendants, and he wasted no time. He did it,

504
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 3: you know, right there on day two of his administration.

505
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: So what more can we expect to see from the president.

506
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 3: We only about thirty seconds left with you, Ben. What

507
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: should we be looking out for in the.

508
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: Days to come?

509
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 15: Well, I think it's an entire dismantling of this bureaucratic state,

510
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 15: the entire dismantling of the communist, leftist globalist system in

511
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 15: our government and in our country. It's really the end

512
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 15: of draining the swamp. That's what I'm expecting. And it's

513
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 15: just beginning.

514
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 4: It is just beginning, and I think these first hundredas

515
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 4: are going to be exciting. It's obviously, you know, Ben,

516
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 4: that he's working hard, he's working fast. We've seen the

517
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 4: investment just pouring in in that press conference yesterday. So

518
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 4: thank you so much for being there and also uplifting

519
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 4: prayer and faith in these next four years.

520
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 6: Thank you, Ben, Amen, thank you guys.

521
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: Amen, My pleasure.

522
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 12: Well.

523
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 4: Coming up later in the show, singer Lee Greenwood joins

524
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 4: us to talk about performing for President Trump. You won't

525
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 4: want to miss it, stay with us.

526
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 20: I'm off my anxiety meds. Yeah, so and my therapist like,

527
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 20: you don't need to come anymore. So I'm like, yeah, whatever, anxiety, I.

528
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 18: Have it, work it out or whatever.

529
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 20: Not even like anxiety, just things I have to work out.

530
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 20: And then by the time i'm off, I'm like a

531
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 20: totally different person and I'm ready to attack the day.

532
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: I have nails.

533
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 20: I've been a nail bier. I have so much trauma

534
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 20: as a kid. I've always been in nail. I have

535
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 20: nails and they're strong and there. It's just, yeah, this

536
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 20: has been amazing, life changing everything.

537
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 18: I used to have anxiety really bad, especially after our twins,

538
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 18: and it was crippling at times. And and what a

539
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 18: difference it makes when you can find something that works

540
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 18: and you don't need to deal with the net anymore,

541
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 18: and you know that you can handle life just as

542
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 18: it comes at you. And I'm just so happy for you.

543
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: Welcome back to you.

544
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 3: Special report that was a look at yet another happy,

545
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 3: energized health participant who is dealing with anxiety. We find

546
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 3: that anxiety runs rampant among adults today, but how do

547
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: we rid ourselves of this excessive and constant worry and fear.

548
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: Our next guest says, there is a solution.

549
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 3: We want to welcome the founder of energized health, John

550
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: ju Believe, back.

551
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 2: To the show. Great to see you, John, Great to

552
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 2: see you, Emily.

553
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 10: Great to see you.

554
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: Both, Yes, sir Well.

555
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 3: The National Institute for Mental Health reports that one in

556
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 3: three adults will experience anxiety disorder in their lives.

557
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: That is a shocking statistic.

558
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: And now adults eighteen to twenty four are experiencing even

559
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 3: higher levels of anxiety than any generation before. John, where

560
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 3: do you think is behind this drastic increase in anxiety

561
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 3: disorders over the past decade.

562
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 12: Well, it's a lot of things that are all contributing

563
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 12: to what's caused. Basically, what is really an epidemic? I mean,

564
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 12: one out of three would be an epidemic of any

565
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 12: other type of disease, but people don't like to talk

566
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,239
Speaker 12: about it, Emily, but several things. So number one is

567
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 12: actually the fact that from a physical standpoint, we're more

568
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 12: dehydrated than we've ever been.

569
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 6: And when we.

570
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 12: Lose our intracellular hydration to our brain, we lose connectivity

571
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 12: between the eight parts of our brain that are supposed

572
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 12: to be connecting so they can all share the load together,

573
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 12: and so it creates extra stress, which produces the anxiety,

574
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 12: which produces depression. The other thing is a lot of

575
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 12: social media creates a lot of anxiety and stress in

576
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 12: people because they don't realize the psychological effects of hours

577
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 12: and hours and hours of social media that There's never

578
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 12: been a generation on earth, you know, that would have three, four, five,

579
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 12: six hours of screen time in their life every day.

580
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 12: But a lot of things are contributing factors. But the

581
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 12: great news is everyone can reverse it when they get

582
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 12: healthy at the saler level.

583
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and John, and you ring up something really interesting

584
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 4: about social media. I feel like a lot of young

585
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: people there's a dysmorphia involved in this because of what

586
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 4: they see on social media. It's just constantly put in

587
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 4: their faces.

588
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: So, you know, can anxiety affect our physical health?

589
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 4: And conversely, can physical health issues exacerbate or cause an

590
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 4: anxiety disorder to arise?

591
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 12: Well, well, Bo, you actually hit it right on the head.

592
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 12: That's exactly right, and that really does happen. And that's

593
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 12: part of why we deal with the mind body spirit connection,

594
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 12: because if you have anxiety, it absolutely will produce dis

595
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 12: ease in your body dis ease, you will not be

596
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 12: at ease if you have anxiety, and it manifests physically.

597
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 10: And the same thing.

598
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 12: People have physical challenges and when they feel hopeless, it

599
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 12: produces anxiety and or depression because they don't feel how

600
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 12: they want to feel, they don't look how they want

601
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 12: to look, and all of these things are interconnective, and

602
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 12: that's why we have to have a triangulated approach to

603
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 12: the mind, the body, and the spirit simultaneously to actually

604
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 12: get healthy.

605
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 18: Yeah.

606
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.

607
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 3: Now beyond hydration, nutrition, you know, kind of addressing your

608
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 3: physical health and your mental health at the same time.

609
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 3: What do you guys teach people about the mental and

610
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 3: spiritual part of the health journey.

611
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 17: Yeah.

612
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 12: Well, interestingly, again, it's really easy to focus on the physical,

613
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 12: which is why everybody does, but when it comes to

614
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 12: the mental and the physical, it's things.

615
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 10: Again back to what bo was talking about.

616
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 12: People look on social media and they get dysmorphia, thinking, oh,

617
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 12: I'm never going to look how I should look, I'm

618
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 12: never going to feel how I should feel. One of

619
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 12: the things we do is teach people to say a

620
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 12: positive affirmation. You know, Emily, we would tell you to

621
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 12: say I am a beautiful woman.

622
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 10: I am a beautiful woman.

623
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 12: You know, I am strong, I am powerful, I am intelligent.

624
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 12: Say positive words of affirmation. Your cells in your body

625
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 12: respond to positive words of affirmation over your life.

626
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 10: You know, we teach people.

627
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 12: Something as simple as prayer, even if they don't have

628
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 12: a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Their scientific evidence that

629
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 12: when people pray for themselves or for others, it accelerates healing,

630
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 12: it accelerates a sense of peace, contentment, and well being.

631
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 12: And those are several of the strategies we use for

632
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 12: the mental and the spiritual side.

633
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 10: And we do that on a step by step basis.

634
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: By the way, that's absolutely true.

648
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 3: Coming up, Singer Lee Greenwood gives some new perspective to

649
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 3: his Trump adopted hit God Bless the Usa.

650
00:32:48,520 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 4: To me, Well, welcome back to Special Report. Well, one

651
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 4: thing we know about now President Donald Trump is that

652
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 4: he is very patriotic. He made make America great again.

653
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 4: His campaign slogan to restore America back to its historic

654
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 4: greatness and exceptionalism. And that patriotism extended through music as well.

655
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 4: Adopting a song by Lee Greenwood called God Bless the Usa,

656
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 4: it became his walkout music at every single rally. You

657
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 4: saw a clip of Lee singing his iconic song at

658
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 4: the Trump victory rally the day before the inauguration, and

659
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 4: we are happy to have Lee speak with us today. Lee,

660
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 4: welcome back to Special Report on this momentous occasion.

661
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 11: Thank you very much. I know you shot a clip

662
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 11: of that boy. That guy's a good singer.

663
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 6: Who is that?

664
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: Must be you? Lee, has got to be you. And

665
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: you still got the pipes.

666
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 4: My friend, You still got the pipes. A lot of

667
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 4: people don't, but you do. You know, Lee, You've sung

668
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 4: for I believe three presidential inaugurations, and we know that

669
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 4: God bless the USA is It's not a partisan song.

670
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 4: It's one that applies to every single American that we

671
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 4: should be proud of being American because we share a

672
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 4: common bond that others around the world.

673
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: Do not have.

674
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 4: And that's I think that's a true blessing. So speak

675
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 4: if you would lead to the original sentiment that stirred

676
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 4: you to write this song.

677
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 11: Let's take a couple lyrics out of the song just

678
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 11: for reference. The very first line, if tomorrow the things

679
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 11: were going on work for all my life and I

680
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 11: had to start again with just my children and my wife.

681
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 11: That's resonating with anyone who's ever been down.

682
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 17: And I've been down.

683
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 11: I've been down to my last two bucks, and I'm like,

684
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 11: how am I going to work my way out of this?

685
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 11: It takes a little guts and courage, but you also

686
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 11: have a free country to work yourself up, and you

687
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 11: can pull yourself up with your bootstraps. Then there's the

688
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 11: line I'm proud to be an American, which is the

689
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 11: actually co title in the MCA music When you Get It,

690
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 11: which I originally recorded an MCA. It's God bless USA

691
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 11: and then proud to be American underneath it.

692
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 17: I don't mind that reference.

693
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 11: But the reason I wrote that is because sometimes it

694
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 11: it bothered me when people say, well, I'm an Italian American,

695
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 11: I'm an English American, I'm an African American, I'm a

696
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 11: Spanish American. I think American first, isn't that What we

697
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 11: are now is the people And the last line, I

698
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 11: won't forget the men who died. I wanted to give

699
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 11: tribute to the military. Donald Trump is exactly about that

700
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 11: and all of those three things.

701
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 17: He knows what it feels like to be down.

702
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 11: He knows that he needs to honor the military and

703
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 11: and make America a great again. Those are the sentiments

704
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 11: that he's put across to the American people.

705
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're speaking really to the heart of every single American,

706
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 4: no matter where they come from.

707
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: As you said, Italian, American.

708
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 4: African American, it doesn't matter. We are all Americans first

709
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 4: and Lee. You know, as a fellow singer, I know

710
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 4: that when you're singing your own song, it.

711
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: Just never gets old.

712
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 4: So on Innauguration Day, I'm sure it had probably even

713
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 4: more significance because in many ways you are being the

714
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 4: voice of the American spirit, singing what we all collectively feel.

715
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: So over the years and with.

716
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 4: Three inaugurations, Bush, Reagan, and now Trump, how has your

717
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 4: perspective changed.

718
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 11: I like what you said that I'm broadcasting the American

719
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 11: spirit with singing it, because I don't know that my

720
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 11: perspective has changed, but it's been reinforced by Donald Trump,

721
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 11: because he's the first president I know of that have

722
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 11: actually said, we're putting America first before anyone else. We

723
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 11: need to reinforce what America stands for. Honor her for

724
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 11: her independence, which we paid for dearly, and honor our

725
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 11: military that keeps standing in front of us for the

726
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 11: enemy not to get to us. So when I sing

727
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 11: it on stage like I did at the inauguration with

728
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 11: a marine band that's the President's owned, the Marine Corps band,

729
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 11: it's fabulous.

730
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 17: When you sing it live, Oh my gosh.

731
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 11: You know, many of the times when I sing for

732
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 11: the president, it's my track because production isn't able to

733
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 11: carry my band or a fuller band. But when I

734
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 11: was sanging it at the inaugural event, good grief, it's

735
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 11: just so inspiring. It makes me feel like it's the

736
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 11: first time I've ever sang it.

737
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it has to be Lee.

738
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 4: And as we think about your lyric too, because you're

739
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 4: so good about breaking down these lyrics where at least

740
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 4: I know I'm free, many around the world do not

741
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 4: have that freedom. We're seeing Israeli and American hostages held

742
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 4: by Hamas slowly getting released, thank God. Do you think

743
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 4: that we Americans sometimes become perhaps too complacent and take

744
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 4: our freedoms for granted.

745
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, probably, but it doesn't take much to remind us.

746
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 11: And I don't mean just war or crisis. But there's

747
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 11: a lot of things people may not like about America.

748
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 11: Our policies, our stance against international enemies, how we treat ourselves,

749
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 11: the integration issue, which for years has been a problem

750
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 11: for us, but I think we're finally over it. And then,

751
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 11: but what you can't argue with we are free, and

752
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 11: we've paid for our freedom a long time ago. And

753
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 11: it's the one saving remark I think you can say

754
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 11: to anyone about America and what we stand for.

755
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 17: It's we're free.

756
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 4: That's true freedom and freedom isn't free either, and we

757
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 4: know that. And that's why you say I won't forget

758
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 4: the men who died because our veterans come first. They

759
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 4: have the come firston. We're seeing a president actually prioritize them.

760
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 4: And your song also has the line and I'll gladly

761
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 4: stand up next to you and defend her. Still today,

762
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 4: you have stood next to President Trump many many times

763
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 4: over the past several years, and I imagine that after

764
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 4: the Butler rally, that line probably has a totally new significance.

765
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: If you could speak to that.

766
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 11: Yeah, I agree. I had no idea when I wrote that.

767
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 11: What I meant by it was I gladly stand up

768
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 11: next to you, and that is all Americans shoulder to shoulder,

769
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,720
Speaker 11: standing against tyranny and standing for freedom.

770
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 17: That's what the line meant.

771
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 11: I had no idea would actually be me literally standing

772
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 11: next to the next commander in chief, the next.

773
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 17: President of the United States.

774
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 11: And it doesn't mean an awful lot number one that

775
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 11: Trump has used the song. President Trump has used the

776
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 11: song to announce his entrance into.

777
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 17: Any arena and any area.

778
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 11: But when I sang for the second time there at Butler, Pennsylvania,

779
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 11: and the crowd was triple of what it was the

780
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 11: first time. What an endorsement to say, we have a

781
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 11: president that is proud and defy Itt Lee.

782
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 4: I know you were joined by fellow country singer Carrie Underwood,

783
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 4: who sang America the Beautiful and by the way, sang

784
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 4: it really great without her track. Apparently she had to

785
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 4: sing an a cappella. I give her tremendous applause for that.

786
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 4: You and I have been in that situation before. She

787
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 4: did receive some blowback for singing for the inauguration. I

788
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 4: have to assume that you have over the years for

789
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 4: various Republican presidents that you've sung for, and even rapper Nelly,

790
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 4: who sang at one of the inaugural events. He got

791
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 4: pushed back, but he said his response was, Hey, it's

792
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 4: an honor to be asked, So why might some people

793
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 4: not be able to see beyond the politics of the

794
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 4: moment for the greater occasion and honor that it is

795
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 4: to sing an event like this.

796
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 17: It's the Internet.

797
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 11: It has given the power to minor voices when that

798
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 11: doesn't really matter, and people think they're in the majority.

799
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 17: And it's funny.

800
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 11: By the way, I just left the capital about fifteen

801
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 11: minutes ago and I'm here now doing an interview with you,

802
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 11: and somebody handed me this. I did want to mention

803
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 11: this that God bless you Usay Bible is where we

804
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 11: sell a Bible. It is one of sixty or so

805
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 11: bibles that are available in Christian bookstores and ours called

806
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 11: God Blessed USA Bible is because it has the lyrics

807
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 11: of my song in it as well. But this is

808
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 11: a tribute to Donald Trump forty seventh the President of

809
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 11: the United States, Kane James version of the Bible with

810
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 11: the Constitution in it, which he said he's going to

811
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 11: support the Constitution, Bill of Wrights, Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration

812
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 11: of Independence, all in the back of this Bible. And

813
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 11: people need to know there's only five thousand of these printed.

814
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 11: They just handed it to me when when I left

815
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 11: the Capitol today. So go to God Blessed USA bible

816
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 11: dot com pick up one of these. It's important. If

817
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 11: you don't get it now, you won't have one.

818
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: Lee. I'm curious.

819
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 4: You know, when you think about the first administration that

820
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 4: Donald Trump had, and of course he had a lot

821
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 4: of faith leaders come in. You're a man of faith.

822
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 4: I'm a man of faith, and I think about after

823
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 4: Butler specifically even said it, I believe in this speech

824
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 4: he said, you know, he was divinely saved for this moment.

825
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 4: As you think about the next four years, do you

826
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 4: think that we'll see perhaps an awakening, a restoration of

827
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 4: things and when it comes to faith in this country,

828
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 4: Because your song speaks to it, Trump is now the present,

829
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,240
Speaker 4: He's going to be talking about faith. He feels personally saved.

830
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 4: I believe divinely saved for this moment, for a time

831
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 4: such as this.

832
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: Do you think we'll see that?

833
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 17: Well? I sure hope so.

834
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 11: I mean, I believe because he won the popular vote.

835
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 17: I believe that a lot of the Christians spoke to that.

836
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 11: And as a man of faith myself, I'm a conservative Christian.

837
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 11: I'm just confident that this nation will turn more to

838
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 11: faith and believing he self believe in a God that'll

839
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 11: take care of our country.

840
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 4: And also Lee, I want to speak to the country

841
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 4: music element because we talked about Kerry Underwood. Jason Aldean

842
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 4: has certainly taken the cross up on his shoulders as well.

843
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: Do do you think.

844
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 4: As you look at the new country music scene, do

845
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 4: we have some new Lee Greenwood's and Toby Keats out

846
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 4: there who love the nation as much as you and

847
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 4: I do that would sing the way that you do

848
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 4: and hope to pass on that legacy.

849
00:41:58,440 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: Do you think they're out there?

850
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 17: Oh? Absolutely.

851
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 11: You see a lot of artists who don't even have

852
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 11: a patriots patriotic song and the guitar player has a

853
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 11: big belt that keep his guitar on his shoulder and

854
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 11: it's red, white and blue and stars. You know, it's

855
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 11: funny how many people actually really believe in America and

856
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 11: believe we're faith.

857
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 17: But just having said so.

858
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 4: What do you hope Lee is for someone who might

859
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 4: have never heard the song before. I just had a son,

860
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 4: he's only he's about to be one, and I think

861
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 4: about people that are coming up. You know, we always

862
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 4: are concerned about gen z and what kind of world

863
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 4: they'll grow up. And I think it's great that we

864
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 4: do have a president that they can grow up in

865
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 4: now in his administration actually be focused on America first.

866
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: But for someone who's never heard your song.

867
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 4: Before for the first time, what would you hope that

868
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 4: that person takes away from it?

869
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 11: Well, it's an anthem for a lot of people of

870
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 11: all ages.

871
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 17: I get lots of.

872
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 11: Videos from very young children three four, five, six seven

873
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 11: that are waving a flag and singing the lyrics of

874
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 11: my song. If that makes him a patriot, that's where

875
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 11: to start. There's also a new version of my song

876
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 11: with a person I know from Detroit, Drew Jacobs. It

877
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 11: hit number one in the rock charts about a month ago.

878
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 11: It's a new way to present God Bless USA to

879
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 11: the younger generation.

880
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 17: Go find it. It's available on YouTube.

881
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 4: We interviewed him actually not that long ago. Li, so

882
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 4: we're on that. It's a great version of it. And

00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,720
