- 1:15Speaker 4: is way grateful that he's not who he used to be, here's.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Welcome back from Times Square. It's That Kevin Show, thatkevinshow.com.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Grateful to have you with us. And I am grateful
- 1:33Speaker 1: that it is back to one of my favorite times
- 1:36Speaker 1: of the year.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Why?
- 1:38Speaker 1: Well, I talk about it on the show all the time.
- 1:41Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for the end of year holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas,
- 1:47Speaker 1: all the joy, all the thankfulness, all the gratitude, all
- 1:51Speaker 1: the presents, all the kids getting excited, the music, all
- 1:55Speaker 1: of it. It just fills my heart with happiness and fulfillment.
- 1:59Speaker 1: And even though we're not quite in the slog of
- 2:02Speaker 1: that portion just yet, we are concentrating from here to
- 2:07Speaker 1: the end for a good outcome for Christmas for Christians
- 2:12Speaker 1: that are enslaved and that have no reason to believe
- 2:17Speaker 1: that there's going to be anything good in their life.
- 2:18Speaker 1: And we can actually give them their life back. We're
- 2:21Speaker 1: talking about our annual Christmas. liberation of people who are
- 2:25Speaker 1: enslaved in Sudan. And that voice that chimed in right
- 2:29Speaker 1: there is Todd Chapman, who rejoins us from a little
- 2:32Speaker 1: group called Christian Solidarity International. I love this group. I've
- 2:36Speaker 1: told you about them for years. We've together seen thousands
- 2:41Speaker 1: of people literally taken out of slavery and given a
- 2:44Speaker 1: life all over again. And, Todd, last year we didn't
- 2:47Speaker 1: have enough time to enjoy the entire process for the
- 2:50Speaker 1: full last quarter of the year. But we're going to
- 2:53Speaker 1: do something great this year for people that are brand new.
- 2:57Speaker 1: And we have new people tuning in from Anchorage to
- 2:59Speaker 1: Miami every day. Like, it's just cool how people are
- 3:02Speaker 1: finding the show. What is this all about?
- 3:05Speaker 5: Yeah, so CSI is an organization that for actually 49 years,
- 3:09Speaker 5: celebrating 50 years in 2027, has been liberating slaves and
- 3:15Speaker 5: really ministering to Christians all over the world who are
- 3:18Speaker 5: being persecuted for their faith. But the work that is
- 3:22Speaker 5: probably most unique and that we're best known for is
- 3:24Speaker 5: what we're going to be talking about and inviting you
- 3:26Speaker 5: to be a part of. for the remainder of this year,
- 3:28Speaker 5: and that is to free Sudanese slaves. Now, this goes
- 3:31Speaker 5: all the way back to, as my kids would say,
- 3:33Speaker 5: the last century when a civil war was raging in Sudan.
- 3:41Speaker 5: And militants were basically allowed to go into Christian communities
- 3:45Speaker 5: and pillage and kidnap and kill and destroy those villages.
- 3:49Speaker 5: And the outcome of that was hundreds of thousands of slaves,
- 3:53Speaker 5: primarily women and children, were were abducted and taken into
- 3:56Speaker 5: what is now Sudan. This was, you know, right about
- 3:59Speaker 5: the time South Sudan was being formed in this same
- 4:02Speaker 5: period of time. And these slaves have been kept there
- 4:05Speaker 5: for decades now. We're talking, you know, 25, 30 years
- 4:09Speaker 5: for some of these people who many were children and
- 4:12Speaker 5: now they're still living enslaved. And so CSI not only
- 4:16Speaker 5: at that period of time negotiated the end of slave
- 4:20Speaker 5: taking during that time of conflict, But what they weren't
- 4:23Speaker 5: able to do at the time was actually secure the
- 4:26Speaker 5: release of those slaves through, you know, government negotiations. So
- 4:30Speaker 5: they said, well, if the government's not going to do it,
- 4:33Speaker 5: God's people will. And so for the last, you know,
- 4:36Speaker 5: since 19, well, the mid 1990s, we have been freeing
- 4:39Speaker 5: slaves every year, thanks to the generosity of people like you. $ 250, incredibly,
- 4:45Speaker 5: is all it takes for us to send our slave
- 4:47Speaker 5: retrievers that are working year round, by the way, identifying
- 4:51Speaker 5: these enslaved women and children and negotiating their release. We'll
- 4:55Speaker 5: talk more about that in a minute. And then bringing
- 4:57Speaker 5: them back down into South Sudan and whenever we can,
- 5:00Speaker 5: reuniting them with their family members, moving them back to
- 5:03Speaker 5: their community. And if they we can't find that because
- 5:05Speaker 5: some of these people were taken to such a tender age,
- 5:08Speaker 5: they don't even remember.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Or had their whole family killed in the process.
- 5:11Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
- 5:12Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 5:12Speaker 5: Yeah. They might be gone. So if that's the case,
- 5:15Speaker 5: then we set them up in new communities of Christians.
- 5:17Speaker 5: This is all done through the church there in South Sudan,
- 5:20Speaker 5: all powered by your generosity. Kevin, it's so unique. It's
- 5:24Speaker 5: so beautiful. And this is the heart of the scripture, right?
- 5:27Speaker 5: The Bible says that Jesus came for freedom. And so
- 5:31Speaker 5: that's what we're supposed to be in the business of
- 5:32Speaker 5: as followers of Christ, setting captives free. And in this case,
- 5:36Speaker 5: that's physical bondage. And, And I will add to this
- 5:40Speaker 5: that these women and children have been they've been subject
- 5:44Speaker 5: to just incredible abuse across such a period of time.
- 5:46Speaker 5: Physical abuse, verbal abuse, slave labor, sexual abuse of all
- 5:50Speaker 5: different forms. It's a miracle. frankly, that many have survived
- 5:54Speaker 5: as long as they have. But we can liberate them.
- 5:58Speaker 5: Over 160 slaves already rescued through CSI, thanks to generous
- 6:02Speaker 5: people like you. And during this holiday season, we're hoping
- 6:05Speaker 5: the listeners of that Kevin show will free several hundred more.
- 6:08Speaker 5: So that's what I'm here for. And I'm pumped to
- 6:10Speaker 5: be back every year. This is such a gratifying time
- 6:12Speaker 5: of the year.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I love ending the year with this because it is
- 6:15Speaker 1: one of the most meaningful things that we've ever participated
- 6:18Speaker 1: in as a family. And the ability to get to
- 6:21Speaker 1: just be part of it is such an honor. Friends,
- 6:25Speaker 1: I have told you the whole time that I've been
- 6:27Speaker 1: on the air that I never ask you to do
- 6:29Speaker 1: anything that we don't do personally. And that's true with CSI.
- 6:34Speaker 1: We've given to them for years. And we've had the joy.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Back during COVID, my kids were listening to me do
- 6:41Speaker 1: my show from my home studio. when they weren't going
- 6:44Speaker 1: to school in person, and they would hear us discuss
- 6:49Speaker 1: the situation that the slaves were facing. And they really
- 6:53Speaker 1: held my feet to the fire and said, Dad, what
- 6:55Speaker 1: are we doing to do anything about this? And this
- 6:59Speaker 1: became the cause of the McCullough family and is to
- 7:03Speaker 1: this day. And by God's grace, we have been able
- 7:06Speaker 1: to literally liberate dozens of slaves ourselves as just a family.
- 7:12Speaker 1: And we want to encourage you to join us on
- 7:14Speaker 1: that path as well. 1-888-342-1010 is the number.
- 7:19Speaker 6: 888-342-1010.
- 7:21Speaker 1: And if you go to the all newly designed thatkevinshow.com,
- 7:25Speaker 1: you'll see banners at the top and at the bottom.
- 7:28Speaker 1: If you're on the mobile version, it pops up from
- 7:30Speaker 1: the bottom and just is right there, but you'll see
- 7:32Speaker 1: CSI banners right there. It is easy to give through those.
- 7:36Speaker 1: You click it and I'm serious in 60 seconds or less,
- 7:39Speaker 1: you can make your gift and be on your way.
- 7:41Speaker 1: And so the idea that CSI is going to actively
- 7:44Speaker 1: work until we have them all back. At the height
- 7:48Speaker 1: of the conflict, there were probably about 185,000, maybe 200,000
- 7:53Speaker 1: slaves in total that were enslaved in North Sudan. Because
- 7:57Speaker 1: of Christian Solidarity International, more than 150,000 of those have
- 8:00Speaker 1: been liberated and brought home and released. But that means
- 8:04Speaker 1: that there's still 35,000 or 40,000 that are still there.
- 8:07Speaker 1: And some have had children as prisoners. way of their
- 8:10Speaker 1: slave masters while they've been in slavery. So the number
- 8:13Speaker 1: fluctuates a little bit. But even the kids we can
- 8:16Speaker 1: now help liberate and bring home, which has not been
- 8:18Speaker 1: able to happen before.
- 8:19Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty remarkable. And yeah, it's just one slight correction.
- 8:25Speaker 5: Just got the latest updated numbers. Over 160,000 slaves have
- 8:28Speaker 5: been liberated. So that is just phenomenal. But we don't
- 8:31Speaker 5: really know, honestly, how many remain, because to your point,
- 8:34Speaker 5: kids have been born And so it's a real, you know,
- 8:37Speaker 5: hard calculation to make. But we have slave retrievers that, again,
- 8:41Speaker 5: throughout the year, they're working in that part of the
- 8:43Speaker 5: country and they know how to spot these slaves. I mean,
- 8:46Speaker 5: so many stories about, you know, a slave woman will
- 8:49Speaker 5: be at the market or she'll be gathering water or
- 8:51Speaker 5: tending the flock. And one of our retrievers will recognize
- 8:54Speaker 5: the hallmarks. I mean, frankly, a lot of them are
- 8:55Speaker 5: physically scarred from abuse and things like that. And they'll say, hey,
- 8:59Speaker 5: do you want to be free? And then they'll negotiate freedom,
- 9:03Speaker 5: not with money, but with a cattle vaccine that these ranchers,
- 9:06Speaker 5: these slave owners need. And that's how we've been doing this.
- 9:09Speaker 5: Your $ 250 gift does that. Also provides them with the
- 9:12Speaker 5: resources necessary to start a new life. It's a dairy goat.
- 9:17Speaker 5: It's a bag of hope with all sorts of supplies, food,
- 9:20Speaker 5: and everything they need, Kevin, to start a new life
- 9:23Speaker 5: and freedom. That's what we get to do.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Yeah. $ 250 liberates a life, sometimes the life of the
- 9:28Speaker 1: mom and the child, sometimes two.
- 9:30Speaker 3: 1-888-342-1010. 888-342-1010.

- 9:54Speaker 7: Here he is from New York, that Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 10:15Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. I'm Kevin McCullough. Glad to have
- 10:18Speaker 1: you with us. Glad to take this time, this moment,
- 10:21Speaker 1: this portion of the show at the beginning of each
- 10:23Speaker 1: show to kind of get us grounded, get us rooted
- 10:28Speaker 1: in some real truth that we can then kind of
- 10:31Speaker 1: interpret the rest of everything else about. Like, it doesn't
- 10:33Speaker 1: matter whose house got raided or what country we're at
- 10:37Speaker 1: war with or any of the rest of it if
- 10:38Speaker 1: we can't think biblically about what is happening around us.
- 10:43Speaker 1: So that's why this has become such an important part
- 10:47Speaker 1: of the show, at least to me. And I am
- 10:50Speaker 1: hearing from enough of you that I think we've struck
- 10:53Speaker 1: on something here. Jason Warman is back with us. God's
- 10:56Speaker 1: Cookbook is his brand new title. And we just started
- 11:00Speaker 1: working on it yesterday. And Jason, you were telling us
- 11:05Speaker 1: the only ingredient that God gives us is salt. And
- 11:09Speaker 1: we talked about what salt is and kind of how
- 11:12Speaker 1: it operates. There's also something that He he doesn't he
- 11:17Speaker 1: warns us about in terms of an ingredient. And there's
- 11:20Speaker 1: a little bit different approach to it. And it's called leaven.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Probably the closest thing that most Americans think of when
- 11:27Speaker 1: they hear that word is leaven worth leaven. But what
- 11:31Speaker 1: is leaven in the biblical sense? And why does Jesus care?
- 11:34Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, there's one ingredient. He said, be salt
- 11:37Speaker 3: everywhere you go, like express the morals, values, truth of Christianity,
- 11:41Speaker 3: live it out in every segment of society. But then
- 11:44Speaker 3: he just there was one ingredient that he said, you've
- 11:47Speaker 3: got to watch out for.
- 11:48Speaker 5: Matthew 16, six. He goes, watch it.
- 11:51Speaker 3: Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and
- 11:54Speaker 3: the Sadducees. And I think when Jesus tells us to
- 11:58Speaker 3: watch out for something and beware of something, we probably
- 12:01Speaker 3: should really pay attention to that. And he goes, hey, like,
- 12:05Speaker 3: watch out for the leaven. And so Saul, you know,
- 12:08Speaker 3: we talked about it. It influences a culture. It preserves
- 12:11Speaker 3: a culture. If we want to bless nation, if we
- 12:13Speaker 3: want a free nation, if we want to live in
- 12:15Speaker 3: prosperity and blessing, then Christianity has to have an influence.
- 12:19Speaker 3: It has to preserve a culture from decay. But the
- 12:22Speaker 3: reason why he said, I want you to watch out
- 12:24Speaker 3: for leaven, and I wanted to go into it in
- 12:26Speaker 3: the book, is because if salt influences and preserves, leaven
- 12:32Speaker 3: influences and corrupts. It influences our ideology. And you've got
- 12:38Speaker 3: to be really careful because all of us have ingredients
- 12:41Speaker 3: to our ideology. And so you've got to watch the
- 12:45Speaker 3: ingredients of your ideology carefully. And the ramification of scripture
- 12:50Speaker 3: is that just a little bit of leaven, it doesn't
- 12:52Speaker 3: take a whole lot. Just a little bit of leaven,
- 12:55Speaker 3: 1 Corinthians 5, 6, it was just a little leaven,
- 12:57Speaker 3: leavens the whole lump. And it's why we've got to
- 13:00Speaker 3: be careful about how we view the world, our worldview,
- 13:03Speaker 3: our ideology, because one small addition to a recipe can
- 13:08Speaker 3: have a huge impact.
- 13:10Speaker 5: You know, it's like I can.
- 13:13Speaker 3: I don't make, full disclosure, I don't belong in the
- 13:15Speaker 3: kitchen at all.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Actually, following you on Instagram, I was never really confused
- 13:20Speaker 1: about that part.
- 13:26Speaker 3: But if I baked some chocolate chip cookies and was like, hey,
- 13:29Speaker 3: I only put rat poison in one part of the dough.
- 13:32Speaker 3: You don't want any of those cookies. I think that's
- 13:36Speaker 3: the danger of leaven. If leaven came with... you know
- 13:41Speaker 3: skull and crossbones on a red package like you know
- 13:44Speaker 3: like poison is labeled then we would go you know
- 13:47Speaker 3: i don't want any of that but the problem with
- 13:49Speaker 3: leaven is it doesn't look dangerous it doesn't seem poisonous
- 13:53Speaker 3: but if it if it infiltrates then it begins to
- 13:57Speaker 3: contaminate and like what you see he said watch out
- 14:00Speaker 3: for the leaven of the pharisees and the sadducees And
- 14:03Speaker 3: I'll do this quickly, but we have drastically, especially in
- 14:07Speaker 3: the American church, we have drastically misunderstood the Pharisees and
- 14:11Speaker 3: what made them Pharisees. And like the picture that most
- 14:15Speaker 3: people have, like conservative Christians who are Bible based, who
- 14:19Speaker 3: want to honor God. It's like church goers.
- 14:22Speaker 5: It's like, hey, you know.
- 14:23Speaker 3: I think for a lot of people, they deem those
- 14:25Speaker 3: people Pharisees. And that's not like being a Pharisee isn't
- 14:30Speaker 3: just being like, hey, I'm a little judgmental. Or even
- 14:33Speaker 3: if you take somebody who's really legalistic with their faith,
- 14:37Speaker 3: like that's not a Pharisee. I tell people like I'm
- 14:40Speaker 3: not trying to be judgmental. It just comes natural to me.
- 14:43Speaker 3: I don't even have to really try to be judgmental.
- 14:45Speaker 3: I'm not trying to brag, but it comes real easy
- 14:46Speaker 3: to me. That's not Phariseeism. Phariseeism is they created their
- 14:52Speaker 3: own law, and their law superseded the law of God.
- 14:56Speaker 3: And so it was a law that was created by them,
- 14:59Speaker 3: and it was a self-righteous law. And self-righteousness doesn't reject righteousness.
- 15:06Speaker 3: It claims authority to define what is righteous. And today,
- 15:11Speaker 3: we see Phariseeism when there is another law that supersedes
- 15:16Speaker 3: the law of God. And we have a lot of
- 15:18Speaker 3: syncretism in our culture where there's other ideologies that are
- 15:22Speaker 3: infiltrating biblical language. And so we have Christian language without
- 15:27Speaker 3: Christian definitions. And that's kind of the essence of what
- 15:31Speaker 3: 11 is, it's like, okay, we want to talk about love.
- 15:34Speaker 3: We want to talk about compassion. We want to talk
- 15:36Speaker 3: about mercy. We want to talk about grace. But what
- 15:40Speaker 3: most people don't understand is that there's an ideology that
- 15:44Speaker 3: has crept in that when God gives us the pure
- 15:47Speaker 3: definition of what love is, and that's why I go
- 15:49Speaker 3: into the recipes in the book, like we've got to
- 15:51Speaker 3: rediscover what God said, how God defined it. Because there's
- 15:54Speaker 3: all of these, we have biblical language today with cultural assumptions.
- 15:59Speaker 3: And you have these Pharisees who've created their own lawm.
- 16:05Speaker 3: And it supersedes what God said, and then it begins
- 16:08Speaker 3: to contaminate recipe. And it doesn't look dangerous. It never
- 16:12Speaker 3: seems dangerous, but it becomes very contaminating when we have
- 16:18Speaker 3: the same Christian vocabulary, but we have different definitions. And
- 16:22Speaker 3: I make the case in the book, I think probably
- 16:26Speaker 3: the biggest source of leaven that we have going right
- 16:29Speaker 3: now is something that's called critical theory. There's other types
- 16:35Speaker 3: of leaven out there. Nihilism is on the move. And
- 16:38Speaker 3: so if something just became true over the past 10, 15,
- 16:41Speaker 3: 20 years, we need to recognize that leaven has infiltrated.
- 16:46Speaker 3: And when you talk about leaven, it's not about the content.
- 16:51Speaker 3: It's about the contagion.
- 16:52Speaker 5: It's not about just the amount that's infiltrated.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Infiltrated it's it's just a little bit of it and
- 16:59Speaker 3: we need to recognize today like there is a strong
- 17:03Speaker 3: push because that's what critical theory does what's called marxist
- 17:06Speaker 3: ideology you see it in movies you see it in
- 17:09Speaker 3: commercials you see it in every in politics and you
- 17:13Speaker 3: know it it infiltrates and what it does is it
- 17:16Speaker 3: takes a political or a different worldview it claims compassion
- 17:22Speaker 3: and And then it adds a Bible verse onto the
- 17:25Speaker 3: end of it and says, you're not a Christian unless
- 17:27Speaker 3: you believe this political ideology. And it dawned on me
- 17:31Speaker 3: a while back, like, you'll never find a bigger Bible
- 17:33Speaker 3: thumper than a progressive liberal politician trying to get elected
- 17:36Speaker 3: and a historically Christian.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Yeah, but and I would just say the thumping that
- 17:42Speaker 1: they do is so dishonest to the text. It's dishonest
- 17:47Speaker 1: to the writer. It's dishonest to the. And we have
- 17:49Speaker 1: a really good example of this right now. James Tallarico
- 17:52Speaker 1: running for the Senate in Texas claims to be a
- 17:55Speaker 1: pastor and a believer. And everything he says about scripture,
- 18:00Speaker 1: every word I have heard come out of his mouth
- 18:03Speaker 1: is a direct misrepresentation of the actual word of God.
- 18:08Speaker 3: I talk about him in the book. Because I want
- 18:12Speaker 3: people like in the book, there's all these leaven alerts
- 18:15Speaker 3: because I want to train people on how to spot leaven.
- 18:19Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Whether it's in a movie you're watching, whether it's a
- 18:21Speaker 3: politician that you're listening to. We've got to learn what
- 18:25Speaker 3: biblical Christianity is. We need to get back to the recipe.
- 18:28Speaker 1: I was going to ask, Jason, doesn't that mean then
- 18:30Speaker 1: that it's our job to really know scripture?
- 18:33Speaker 5: Well, absolutely.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Like the idea of how you catch counterfeit money makers
- 18:37Speaker 1: is that you handle the real thing all the time.
- 18:41Speaker 1: If we're handling scripture, if we're living in scripture, if
- 18:43Speaker 1: it's penetrating our heart and mind and life and actions,
- 18:47Speaker 1: then we're going to be more sensitive to the stuff
- 18:49Speaker 1: that really doesn't match.
- 18:51Speaker 7: Right.
- 18:52Speaker 3: That 100%, because that was the play of the Pharisees,
- 18:55Speaker 3: was they would take Jesus's words. And I mean, it
- 18:58Speaker 3: goes back to the beginning, but Satan is the father
- 19:01Speaker 3: of all lies. He doesn't come with an obvious lie.
- 19:04Speaker 3: He comes with the manipulation of truth. If it's an
- 19:07Speaker 3: obvious lie, we reject it on its face. It just
- 19:09Speaker 3: doesn't make any sense. But if you take a Bible
- 19:12Speaker 3: verse and you manipulate it politically or ideologically, then people
- 19:17Speaker 3: hear the Bible verse. But if they don't know the
- 19:19Speaker 3: context and they don't know– like Matthew 25, people pump
- 19:23Speaker 3: it with immigration. I write about that. Like Matthew 25
- 19:26Speaker 3: is not about immigration.
- 19:28Speaker 5: It is about.
- 19:28Speaker 3: Itinerant preachers who were persecuted for the sake of the gospel.
- 19:32Speaker 3: And he says, if you've done it to the least
- 19:33Speaker 3: of these, you've done it to me. The least of
- 19:35Speaker 3: these were not people trying to illegally immigrate into a nation.
- 19:38Speaker 3: It was preachers who were being persecuted and thrown into
- 19:41Speaker 3: prison for the gospel. But without the salt of Christianity,
- 19:44Speaker 3: without the truth of Scripture, politicians hijack that, manipulate it,
- 19:48Speaker 3: and then people think they're being a Christian.
- 19:49Speaker 2: All the time.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Yep.
- 19:51Speaker 1: All right, Jason, we have run out of time on
- 19:53Speaker 1: this very important discussion. Just part two of five that
- 19:56Speaker 1: we're going to, uh, go through God's cookbook this week.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Friends get the book. It is now available and you can, uh,
- 20:04Speaker 1: do that at Jason's website. You can do it through
- 20:06Speaker 1: his Instagram page. Um, I'm pretty sure that the church's
- 20:10Speaker 1: website has a link to it as well. God's Cookbook,
- 20:12Speaker 1: Recovering the Flavor of Faith in a Saltless Age. Just
- 20:18Speaker 1: look up God's Cookbook on Amazon or Barnes & Noble
- 20:21Speaker 1: and you'll find a copy. But Jason, this is really
- 20:25Speaker 1: a dynamic discussion this week. And tomorrow we're going to
- 20:27Speaker 1: look at Romans 9. And talk about the salt of love,
- 20:31Speaker 1: which should be another very interesting and probably not what
- 20:35Speaker 1: we think as we start out. So we'll delve into
- 20:39Speaker 1: that as we get into it. Jason, thank you so much.
- 20:41Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 20:42Speaker 1: You got it. Kevin McCullough coming right back. It's a
- 20:44Speaker 1: big Tuesday. Lots going on. Stay here.
- 20:46Speaker 8: Stick around for more of That Kevin.
- 20:50Speaker 2: Next.
- 21:09Speaker 8: From new york that kevin kevin mccullough welcome.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Back to times square kevin mccullough glad to have you
- 21:18Speaker 1: with us that kevin show from anchorage to miami san
- 21:21Speaker 1: diego to kenny buckport we're glad to have you with
- 21:24Speaker 1: us wherever you may be at and Glad to have
- 21:27Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation checking in with us weekly on various
- 21:30Speaker 1: items that they're keeping their eyes on across all of
- 21:33Speaker 1: the departments, doing the great work there. Mike Gonzalez is
- 21:36Speaker 1: back with us, senior fellow there. And Mike, you just
- 21:39Speaker 1: published a new op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, kind of,
- 21:42Speaker 1: I think, meant to encourage some of the faithful, but
- 21:46Speaker 1: a lot of expectation was riding on President Trump coming
- 21:51Speaker 1: into this term as to what would happen with policies
- 21:55Speaker 1: that had gone crazily woke. And you argue that he's
- 22:00Speaker 1: winning that war. Tell us how.
- 22:02Speaker 6: Well, the headline that we're winning the war on woke
- 22:05Speaker 6: was not mine. That was the journal's headline. That's a
- 22:10Speaker 6: bit too enthusiastic.
- 22:12Speaker 1: It's too enthusiastic. Okay. Then what's the real score?
- 22:15Speaker 6: Well, he's taking the right steps. He's doing remarkably well
- 22:20Speaker 6: with the steps that I advise that he take I
- 22:24Speaker 6: wrote a piece, I wrote a column in the journal
- 22:27Speaker 6: soon after he was elected, almost two years ago. I
- 22:31Speaker 6: co-wrote it with Armin Thule, who's now in the administration.
- 22:36Speaker 6: And we said, look, these are the five things you
- 22:38Speaker 6: must do to fight woke. And he's actually done them,
- 22:41Speaker 6: or he's well in progress. So, I mean, we can
- 22:44Speaker 6: go through what they are.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Yeah, let's review what they are. What were the five things?
- 22:48Speaker 6: Okay, so one was to dissolve the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which...
- 22:54Speaker 6: existed to fund NPR and PBS. And that is done.
- 22:58Speaker 6: The CPB dissolved itself after Congress passed the Administrations Resisting Act,
- 23:06Speaker 6: cutting off funding. The CPB board decided there's no point
- 23:10Speaker 6: in remaining alive. So that was a dramatic thing. I
- 23:14Speaker 6: took part in the hearing with Catherine Marr She had
- 23:18Speaker 6: an awful hearing in 2025. She unraveled on the grilling
- 23:22Speaker 6: by Republicans. And so that is done. Another thing that
- 23:27Speaker 6: was done is the administration did rescind all of the
- 23:32Speaker 6: Biden era executive orders that have put the country on,
- 23:36Speaker 6: have put woke on steroids. throughout all the departments and
- 23:40Speaker 6: all the agencies. All of these have been rescinded. That
- 23:42Speaker 6: is done. Then in progress, I would start with one
- 23:46Speaker 6: that is well in progress, is retaking control of the
- 23:50Speaker 6: Smithsonian Institution. The Smithsonian Institution is a very powerful entity.
- 23:56Speaker 6: It's the world's largest museum complex, and not only does
- 24:00Speaker 6: it have about 20 million people that go through its
- 24:02Speaker 6: doors every year, it reaches an additional 20 million students
- 24:07Speaker 6: through its educational programs. And the content is super woke.
- 24:14Speaker 6: They blame America for everything. This is the way that
- 24:17Speaker 6: they have to take to kind of dismantle the American system.
- 24:21Speaker 6: So Lonnie Bunch, the secretary of the Smithsonian, finally gave
- 24:26Speaker 6: up and announced that he.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Was going to retire. Well, I remember you being on
- 24:28Speaker 1: this show talking about how problematic he was.
- 24:31Speaker 6: Yeah, he's going to retire, he announced. So that's in progress.
- 24:35Speaker 6: Another one was to get rid of all the the
- 24:37Speaker 6: racial and ethnic questions in the U.S. Census. And the U.S.
- 24:41Speaker 6: Census has just posted a proposal calling for exactly that.
- 24:46Speaker 6: I strongly advise that all Americans go to the Federal
- 24:51Speaker 6: Register and look at that proposal. Read it for themselves.
- 24:54Speaker 6: This is a duty of civil society, a duty that
- 25:00Speaker 6: you have as a citizen. Read it. Make up your
- 25:03Speaker 6: own mind. I think it's a great proposal. It gets
- 25:05Speaker 6: rid of all the racial questions. So that is another
- 25:09Speaker 6: thing that is now the toughest.
- 25:10Speaker 1: It's the fifth.
- 25:11Speaker 6: And that is to de-wokify universities.
- 25:15Speaker 7: Wow.
- 25:16Speaker 6: And it's the toughest because the administration is limited in
- 25:19Speaker 6: what it can do. By the way, if I could
- 25:21Speaker 6: just define woke in 15 seconds, since we're talking about woke,
- 25:25Speaker 6: it's this manipulation of guilt that Americans, especially white Americans,
- 25:30Speaker 6: feel over things that are not their fault. The things
- 25:33Speaker 6: that happened a long time ago, like racism, like... more recently,
- 25:39Speaker 6: Jim Crow. So, you know, these are— slavery was something that existed,
- 25:48Speaker 6: that we share with all of humanity. You know, I
- 25:51Speaker 6: think some estimates that we began to practice slavery as
- 25:55Speaker 6: human beings in the Bronze Age, and every country, every society,
- 25:59Speaker 6: every group has done this. It's not uniquely American. Racism
- 26:02Speaker 6: is not uniquely American. I've lived in seven countries. At
- 26:05Speaker 6: least a year in more countries if you count months.
- 26:09Speaker 6: By no means the most racist country in the world.
- 26:11Speaker 6: So it's manipulating guilt over that, that is wokeism. And
- 26:16Speaker 6: the end goal is to change society.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Well, and to change it into things that I think
- 26:23Speaker 1: arguably make the situations worse almost across the board. And
- 26:27Speaker 1: if you do think about it, and I happen to
- 26:30Speaker 1: be doing a campaign right now with Christian Solidarity International
- 26:33Speaker 1: addressing slavery in northern Sudan, there's more slavery being practiced
- 26:39Speaker 1: on planet Earth today than at any point in human history.
- 26:42Speaker 1: And you know where it's not practiced? In the West.
- 26:45Speaker 1: It's not practiced in Europe. It's not practiced in North America.
- 26:48Speaker 1: And this is the great dishonesty of that those who
- 26:53Speaker 1: want to make everything about race and those types of things,
- 26:57Speaker 1: that they never acknowledge, and they should.
- 27:00Speaker 6: And the fight against slavery was initiated by Christians. William Wilberforce,
- 27:06Speaker 6: the great English politician who was the one that convinced
- 27:12Speaker 6: the UK to police the seas, to make sure that
- 27:16Speaker 6: no slave ships were at high seas. He was motivated
- 27:24Speaker 6: by his Christian faith. The New England Yankees who marched
- 27:29Speaker 6: singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic, singing the words,
- 27:32Speaker 6: as he died to make men holy, let us die
- 27:35Speaker 6: to make them free. That was Christianity that powered the
- 27:40Speaker 6: abolition movement. Let's not forget that.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Mike, always appreciate your insights. Thank you for being with us.
- 27:46Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 27:46Speaker 5: Thanks, Kevin.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough coming right back from Times Square. Don't go anywhere.
- 28:08Speaker 8: Here he is, from New York, that Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Welcome back, Kevin McCullough, 888-342-1010, 888-342-1010. That phone number very
- 28:21Speaker 1: simply helps you liberate a human slave. Whoa, hold on
- 28:25Speaker 1: a second, Kev. What's that about? Human slavery. It's more
- 28:30Speaker 1: populous today than it has ever been in human history. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 28:34Speaker 1: I thought we had abolition. I thought that the slaves
- 28:37Speaker 1: were set free. maybe in the West, maybe because of
- 28:40Speaker 1: the influence of Christianity, maybe because, yes, there was a
- 28:44Speaker 1: season in which these cultures woke up and said, we
- 28:47Speaker 1: got to stop doing this. But friends, in much of
- 28:50Speaker 1: the rest of the world, slavery continues on in a
- 28:53Speaker 1: horrific fashion. And it varies where you are. In some places,
- 28:57Speaker 1: it's indentured servitude where children of people who owed a
- 29:01Speaker 1: lot of money and those people died are now in
- 29:03Speaker 1: essence slaves of those that are making bricks and they
- 29:06Speaker 1: work 20 hours a day with four hours of sleep
- 29:09Speaker 1: and almost nothing to eat. There are others that it's
- 29:11Speaker 1: just pure sex trafficking. They just take minors and they
- 29:14Speaker 1: just make them do what they want them to do.
- 29:16Speaker 1: In the case of what we're talking about with the
- 29:19Speaker 1: slaves of Sudan, it's a little bit of all of that.
- 29:21Speaker 1: It's forced labor. It's sexual abuse. It's spiritual abuse. It's
- 29:26Speaker 1: mental abuse. It's physical abuse. It's verbal abuse. Like if
- 29:30Speaker 1: you can be abused in any way possible, a Sudanese
- 29:33Speaker 1: slave has been abused in that way. And that's why
- 29:37Speaker 1: this Christmas I want to give these women the best
- 29:41Speaker 1: Christmas gift we could ever give them, which is their
- 29:44Speaker 1: liberation and a brand new life. And Todd Chapman is
- 29:47Speaker 1: back with us from Christian Solidarity International. But Todd, you
- 29:50Speaker 1: think about it, this bag of hope, it comes loaded
- 29:53Speaker 1: with food for a year, seed for another year's worth
- 29:57Speaker 1: of food. They eat this grain called sorghum. It has
- 30:00Speaker 1: all these gadgets and trinkets and things that they need
- 30:04Speaker 1: to help clean and fish and do gardening with and
- 30:07Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's really not just a bag. It's
- 30:11Speaker 1: several bags. But you've got blankets and tarps and things
- 30:13Speaker 1: to protect from weather. And then on top of everything
- 30:16Speaker 1: else that's in there, there's a dairy she-goat that gives
- 30:20Speaker 1: milk that they are given as their own. And they
- 30:23Speaker 1: get to take it. And when they receive this, it's
- 30:26Speaker 1: like they've won the biggest lottery that you can imagine.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Imagine Todd Chapman winning the billion dollar lottery in the
- 30:33Speaker 1: state of Michigan. This would be the equivalent for one
- 30:36Speaker 1: of these slaves because they've had so little of nothing
- 30:39Speaker 1: to themselves. And it gives them everything to start the
- 30:41Speaker 1: new life over. And that's what the $ 250 to Christian
- 30:45Speaker 1: Solidarity International provides every single one of them.
- 30:48Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 30:49Speaker 5: It's such a beautiful opportunity that we have. And You know,
- 30:52Speaker 5: with the expansion of that Kevin show on to so
- 30:54Speaker 5: many new stations in the last year, even though Kevin
- 30:57Speaker 5: and I have been bringing this in front of listeners
- 30:59Speaker 5: for years, it's so awesome that there's a whole new
- 31:02Speaker 5: bunch of people that have probably never heard about this before.
- 31:05Speaker 5: And so would you lean in just for a second
- 31:06Speaker 5: and would you just prayerfully, seriously, don't say, you know, flippantly,
- 31:10Speaker 5: I'll pray about it. Would you seriously, intentionally, prayerfully ask
- 31:14Speaker 5: what God would have you do? Because God does not
- 31:16Speaker 5: bring opportunities across our path on accident. As a matter
- 31:20Speaker 5: of fact, Ephesians 2.10, one of my favorite verses in
- 31:22Speaker 5: the Bible. You are God's masterpiece created in Christ Jesus
- 31:26Speaker 5: to do good works, which God prepared in advance for
- 31:30Speaker 5: you to do. What an awesome verse, man. You're a
- 31:33Speaker 5: masterpiece of God. He created you. He redeemed you through
- 31:36Speaker 5: his son. And then he has good things for you
- 31:39Speaker 5: to do in the world. This might be and I
- 31:41Speaker 5: really believe it is if you're hearing this. I just
- 31:43Speaker 5: believe that you don't have to agree. It's what I believe.
- 31:45Speaker 5: I'm going to put it out there. I think this
- 31:47Speaker 5: is one of those good deeds that God ordained for
- 31:49Speaker 5: you to do. Free a human being in the name
- 31:52Speaker 5: of Jesus, return them to their home country, return them
- 31:55Speaker 5: oftentimes to their community, sometimes even reunite them with a
- 31:58Speaker 5: family that they were taken from decades ago. I'm looking
- 32:02Speaker 5: at a toke story. She was out collecting firewood near
- 32:05Speaker 5: her village when she was a young girl. And she,
- 32:08Speaker 5: this is kind of weird, but she had climbed a
- 32:09Speaker 5: tree to take a nap or something. I guess maybe
- 32:11Speaker 5: she was afraid of staying on the ground, but She
- 32:14Speaker 5: wakes up from her nap on the tree limb, looks down.
- 32:16Speaker 5: There's five armed men that got guns pointing at her
- 32:19Speaker 5: and they're like, come down here. And now she's taken to,
- 32:22Speaker 5: you know, up north to Sudan where she's put to
- 32:25Speaker 5: work doing every, you know, just junky, hard job you
- 32:30Speaker 5: can imagine. She's enslaved, sexually abused. This goes on for
- 32:33Speaker 5: 19 years. And she's so excited about the opportunity to
- 32:39Speaker 5: have her life begin. Now, here's the thing. She lost
- 32:42Speaker 5: 19 years of her life.
- 32:43Speaker 9: Right?
- 32:44Speaker 5: You can never replace that. But the word of God
- 32:47Speaker 5: promises that, you know, the Lord will give back what
- 32:51Speaker 5: the locusts have eaten. God is able to restore that.
- 32:54Speaker 5: Not so much in time, but in so many other blessings. And,
- 32:57Speaker 5: you know, Kev, you were talking about, yeah, there's slavery
- 33:00Speaker 5: of all different forms. One of the things that makes
- 33:02Speaker 5: this particular slavery unique, and I think so much more
- 33:06Speaker 5: difficult to bear, it's all bad, but You know, if
- 33:09Speaker 5: you're a slave at a brick kiln in Pakistan, oftentimes
- 33:13Speaker 5: those are families. They're still enslaved, but they're together. Right.
- 33:17Speaker 5: Trafficked children. Oftentimes, yeah, they're living in a brothel, you know,
- 33:21Speaker 5: children to a trafficked mom, but they're still in that
- 33:23Speaker 5: family unit. Oftentimes in these situations, without exception, these slaves
- 33:29Speaker 5: were taken from their family, usually as children. And that's
- 33:33Speaker 5: a whole nother level of pain and suffering and trauma.
- 33:36Speaker 5: But we get to restore that. You get to let
- 33:38Speaker 5: God use you to restore that. It's a beautiful opportunity.
- 33:41Speaker 5: Two hundred fifty dollars to liberate a human being in
- 33:45Speaker 5: the name of Jesus and put them on the road
- 33:46Speaker 5: to a brand new life. What a marvelous opportunity during
- 33:50Speaker 5: this holiday season.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Well, and I just want to say the one of
- 33:54Speaker 1: the things when they get back to the camp, the
- 33:56Speaker 1: liberation camp in South Sudan, and they're given plenty of
- 33:59Speaker 1: time to get medical attention and sometimes counseling and some
- 34:03Speaker 1: other things they may need, they get to tell their story.
- 34:06Speaker 1: They've never been able to tell their story to anyone
- 34:08Speaker 1: or to talk about it in any way. So to
- 34:10Speaker 1: verbalize it and to kind of document it, to help
- 34:13Speaker 1: them remember what their given name was from birth, if
- 34:16Speaker 1: they can, and kind of trace where their family comes from.
- 34:19Speaker 1: But in that, they begin to find solidarity with one another,
- 34:22Speaker 1: with other slaves who've been through similar experiences. And if
- 34:25Speaker 1: CSI can't find their physical human family Because many times
- 34:31Speaker 1: they were shot and killed in front of them, traumatizing
- 34:34Speaker 1: them further as they were taken into slavery. They watched
- 34:37Speaker 1: their own parents be executed or they watched their mom
- 34:39Speaker 1: be gang raped by slaves or by slave masters. These
- 34:45Speaker 1: horrible things are all there. If they can't find the
- 34:47Speaker 1: human family, then what they've begun is these wonderful communities
- 34:51Speaker 1: of these women who have lived this life together, understand
- 34:54Speaker 1: what each other has gone through. And in Christian community now,
- 34:58Speaker 1: related to churches in places in South Sudan, they get
- 35:01Speaker 1: to have these communities of women that live together joyously,
- 35:05Speaker 1: rejoicing for their freedom and being able to start their
- 35:08Speaker 1: lives over again. And imagine like the most meaningful small
- 35:11Speaker 1: group you've ever been part of. This is that on steroids.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Like there's so much support there. And then the churches,
- 35:17Speaker 1: the churches just, I mean, they make the prodigal son's
- 35:21Speaker 1: return home look silly sometimes. Like, it's just they're so
- 35:25Speaker 1: rejoiced over when they come home. Friends, that's the gift
- 35:27Speaker 1: you get to give them this year for $ 250.
- 35:29Speaker 7: 888-342-1010.
- 35:29Speaker 3: 888-342-1010.
- 35:29Speaker 9: 888-342-1010.
- 35:29Speaker 1: $ 250 liberates one life. How many lives will you liberate
- 35:31Speaker 1: right now? Go to ThatKevinShow.com, click the CSI banner, or
- 35:33Speaker 1: dial 888-342-1010. Stick around for more of That Kevin next week.
- 36:02Speaker 10: Serving it up with a no-drink minimum. It's that Kevin
- 36:07Speaker 10: Mac show.
- 36:08Speaker 1: All right, Kevin McCullough, glad to have you with us.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Final few thoughts for this period of time together, friends,
- 36:14Speaker 1: about Christian Solidarity International and why it's so important. Look,
- 36:18Speaker 1: I'm never going to apologize for asking you to give
- 36:22Speaker 1: to great causes. I have told you that from the beginning.
- 36:24Speaker 1: This is part of my expression of gratitude back to
- 36:27Speaker 1: God for the honor and the privilege and the humble
- 36:30Speaker 1: sacrifice coolness that it is to get to do what
- 36:33Speaker 1: I do for a living every day. And it wouldn't
- 36:35Speaker 1: be possible had he not said, this is what I'm
- 36:37Speaker 1: calling you to. But because of that, I want to
- 36:39Speaker 1: use a portion of this platform every single day for
- 36:42Speaker 1: his glory and to do things that advance his kingdom.
- 36:45Speaker 1: And Todd Chapman is back with us from Christian Solidarity International.
- 36:49Speaker 1: And Todd, as I have had the chance to not
- 36:52Speaker 1: just advocate for CSI on the air over the years,
- 36:56Speaker 1: but to get to know the organization and to see
- 36:58Speaker 1: how it operates and to understand the biblical and efficiency
- 37:01Speaker 1: with which they take their stewardship and the extreme care
- 37:05Speaker 1: that is taken with every gift that is given and
- 37:08Speaker 1: the integrity behind all of that. I have to say,
- 37:11Speaker 1: not only are they doing incredible things, they're one of
- 37:13Speaker 1: the best organizations I've ever had the chance to be
- 37:16Speaker 1: part of. And that's why I continue to sing their
- 37:18Speaker 1: praises long after we're not on the air anymore. Like
- 37:21Speaker 1: this is one of my passion organizations that I really,
- 37:24Speaker 1: really mean it when I say this, I believe that
- 37:27Speaker 1: they are doing God's work in every aspect.
- 37:30Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of feel like it's David against Goliath
- 37:34Speaker 5: in a lot of ways. You know, we're not a
- 37:36Speaker 5: big organization. Many people have never heard of us every
- 37:39Speaker 5: time we do a radio campaign. And you may be
- 37:42Speaker 5: hearing about CSI, Christian Solidarity International, for the very first time.
- 37:48Speaker 5: But man, just because, you know, God has just blessed us.
- 37:52Speaker 5: And that's because we're just committed to doing what he
- 37:54Speaker 5: says in his word, which is to set captives free
- 37:57Speaker 5: and inviting other people to do that. And so over
- 37:59Speaker 5: the past You know, 30 plus years over. Get this, friends, over.
- 38:03Speaker 5: And this is not me boasting on CSI. This is
- 38:05Speaker 5: me boasting on God and boasting on our generous donors
- 38:09Speaker 5: that have made this possible. Over 160,000 human beings freed.
- 38:16Speaker 5: From captivity, yes, but also the worst possible abuse that
- 38:19Speaker 5: you could imagine. And it's gone on for decades. And
- 38:24Speaker 5: also children now have been born into that. And I'm
- 38:27Speaker 5: really excited about that because if you free a mom
- 38:29Speaker 5: right now, more than ever before, we've been able to
- 38:31Speaker 5: negotiate not just the freedom of the mom, but the
- 38:33Speaker 5: freedom of a child. So for $ 250, man, you can
- 38:36Speaker 5: liberate two human beings today. One that has already endured
- 38:40Speaker 5: decades of abuse, but one that if we don't get
- 38:43Speaker 5: them free, we'll also suffer that. Yeah, we're preventing that.
- 38:47Speaker 5: So it's so beautiful. I just wanted to real quickly
- 38:50Speaker 5: give you a little encouragement. I'm looking at Isaiah 61.1.
- 38:53Speaker 5: And what you're invited to do right now checks every
- 38:56Speaker 5: box in this verse. Check this out. The Spirit of
- 38:58Speaker 5: the Lord God is on me because the Lord has
- 39:00Speaker 5: anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted. Check.
- 39:04Speaker 5: Sent me to bind up the brokenhearted. Check.
- 39:05Speaker 8: Check.
- 39:06Speaker 5: To proclaim liberty to the captives, check. And freedom to prisoners, check.
- 39:12Speaker 5: You can check four beautiful biblical opportunities right there with
- 39:16Speaker 5: your gift right now. $ 250. You set a captive free.
- 39:20Speaker 5: You equip them to step into a new life and freedom. And, man,
- 39:24Speaker 5: hands going up in heaven for every gift that you
- 39:26Speaker 5: give because that's another human being freed.
- 39:28Speaker 9: 888-342.
- 39:30Speaker 1: 888-342-1010 is the number where that takes place. 888-342-1010. And
- 39:35Speaker 1: you may be saying, well, Kev, why wouldn't they liberate
- 39:37Speaker 1: the kids if the moms are being liberated? Well, the
- 39:40Speaker 1: slave master views that child who he impregnated the slave
- 39:44Speaker 1: with as his property too.
- 39:46Speaker 5: Kind of theirs, yeah.
- 39:47Speaker 1: And so the idea that we're able to talk him
- 39:50Speaker 1: out of a future generation of a slave, which if
- 39:53Speaker 1: it's a young boy is a very valuable thing to
- 39:55Speaker 1: his calculations, is a God thing. And it did not
- 40:00Speaker 1: happen for many, many years that I was involved with CSI.
- 40:03Speaker 1: It has begun happening over the last two to three years,
- 40:06Speaker 1: and we couldn't be more excited about it because it
- 40:09Speaker 1: saves every one of those kids from that horrific future themselves.

- 41:58Speaker 4: man who is not what he wants to be, but
- 42:01Speaker 4: is way grateful that he's not who he used to be,
- 42:04Speaker 4: here's The Kevin!
- 42:10Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough, glad to have you with us. If you
- 42:12Speaker 1: have not yet helped liberate a human life, it's 888-342-1010. Kev,
- 42:15Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Liberating a human being from
- 42:20Speaker 1: slavery is what I'm talking about. 888-342-1010. What do you
- 42:25Speaker 1: mean slavery, Kev? Well, Todd, let's talk about it. Because,
- 42:28Speaker 1: you know, people taking other people hostage, not something that's
- 42:32Speaker 1: exactly out of the news. Like we see bad actors
- 42:36Speaker 1: doing this on the global stage, but for some reason...
- 42:39Speaker 1: when it happens in a corner of Sudan where poverty
- 42:42Speaker 1: is really great and people don't really care if it's
- 42:44Speaker 1: just between Arab Muslims and Christian Southerners, they don't get
- 42:48Speaker 1: that excited about it. And it really is a tragedy
- 42:53Speaker 1: that has been playing out for some time.
- 42:55Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 42:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 42:56Speaker 5: I was thinking about that. So I've thought about that
- 42:58Speaker 5: actually several times over the last few years, because what
- 43:02Speaker 5: it was three years ago, the October 7th thing that happened. And,
- 43:06Speaker 5: You know, several hundred people were taken captive, 1200 murdered.
- 43:10Speaker 5: I'm certainly not minimizing that in any way, shape or form.
- 43:12Speaker 5: You know, all of us just as human beings don't
- 43:14Speaker 5: even have to be a Christian and say, man, that's
- 43:16Speaker 5: messed up. That's wrong. That's terrible. But I just think
- 43:19Speaker 5: about the days after that and those hostages being held
- 43:23Speaker 5: captive that played out in front of everybody every day.
- 43:27Speaker 5: You could not escape it. It was in every newscast, radio, TV,
- 43:30Speaker 5: evening news, every network, every news network. You couldn't escape it.
- 43:34Speaker 5: And justifiably so. Right. Because it was a horrific event.
- 43:38Speaker 5: But what we're talking about today, if you think about
- 43:41Speaker 5: it just in terms of the human scale of it,
- 43:44Speaker 5: we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people that were
- 43:49Speaker 5: subjected to the same thing. There were murders. Marauders were
- 43:53Speaker 5: allowed to go into communities all throughout a country and
- 43:57Speaker 5: just indiscriminately kill people. for religious reasons, right?
- 44:01Speaker 1: Or no reason at all.
- 44:02Speaker 5: Or no reason at all, yeah.
- 44:04Speaker 1: The father of the family looked at him sideways and
- 44:06Speaker 1: they're like, I don't like the way you're looking and
- 44:08Speaker 1: dead he was.
- 44:09Speaker 5: And it was empowered by a government at the time
- 44:12Speaker 5: and this is going back to the last century. But
- 44:16Speaker 5: the offshoot of that was that hundreds of thousands of
- 44:21Speaker 5: mainly women and children taken captive and taken to a
- 44:24Speaker 5: country not their own and they've been held ever since.
- 44:27Speaker 5: I think It's a travesty, candidly, in my opinion. And
- 44:31Speaker 5: I don't say that just as a representative of CSI,
- 44:34Speaker 5: but I say that as a human being. Because in
- 44:37Speaker 5: the economies of scale, you're like, well, if 300 people
- 44:39Speaker 5: being held captive leads the news, certainly hundreds of thousands
- 44:44Speaker 5: being held captive should lead the news. But it hasn't.
- 44:47Speaker 5: And here we are. But here's the beautiful thing that
- 44:49Speaker 5: God has done, even in the absence of news coverage
- 44:53Speaker 5: and public sentiment. I mean, this is unknown. But God...
- 44:57Speaker 5: raised up a little organization called Christian Solidarity International. And,
- 45:02Speaker 5: you know, if you're new to that, Kevin, so you've
- 45:04Speaker 5: probably never heard about us until now. But I'll tell
- 45:08Speaker 5: you what, small but mighty, God has done incredible things,
- 45:11Speaker 5: not so much through CSI, but through you joining with
- 45:15Speaker 5: what God laid on CSI's heart. And that was to,
- 45:17Speaker 5: number one, way back, you know, in the last century,
- 45:21Speaker 5: stop the Civil War, stop the taking of the slaves.
- 45:24Speaker 5: But now since then, CSI has again, powered by God's people,
- 45:28Speaker 5: has done what the government failed to do. The government
- 45:30Speaker 5: stopped the Civil War, said, you can't take any more slaves.
- 45:34Speaker 5: And CSI at the time said, okay, let's go get
- 45:36Speaker 5: them back. And they said, yeah, no, we're not going
- 45:38Speaker 5: to do that. So CSI said, well, God's people will.
- 45:41Speaker 5: I get choked up, Kevin, because man, God is so awesome.
- 45:45Speaker 5: And over 160,000 of those slaves have been liberated in
- 45:49Speaker 5: the intervening years. One by one, clumps of a few
- 45:53Speaker 5: hundred every year, And we go, we negotiate their freedom.
- 45:57Speaker 5: We bring them back into South Sudan. We reunite them
- 46:00Speaker 5: with their family, with their community whenever we can. And
- 46:02Speaker 5: if we can't find their family and can't find where
- 46:04Speaker 5: they came from, because maybe they were taken captive as
- 46:06Speaker 5: a two or three year old child, they don't know.
- 46:09Speaker 5: Then we set them up in families there. We set
- 46:11Speaker 5: them up in communities. And it's all powered by God's people,
- 46:14Speaker 5: largely here in America. And it's all supported by Christian,
- 46:18Speaker 5: the Christian church there in South Sudan. this is such
- 46:21Speaker 5: a beautiful picture of the gospel. This is what we're
- 46:24Speaker 5: here to do. And so we, I'm so excited that
- 46:27Speaker 5: we get to invite you into this every year here
- 46:30Speaker 5: on that Kevin show. And over the years, I think
- 46:32Speaker 5: about 4,000 slaves have been liberated through listeners of this program.
- 46:36Speaker 5: And we just want to keep adding to that number
- 46:38Speaker 5: and invite you to be a part of it.
- 46:40Speaker 2: 888-342-1010, 888-342-1010.
- 46:41Speaker 1: I think there are reasons, Todd, why This story hasn't
- 46:49Speaker 1: been championed, and I think that it doesn't make one
- 46:52Speaker 1: story better or the other one worse, to point it out.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Following October 7th, you had a lot of young people
- 46:59Speaker 1: that were at that music conference, a lot of really
- 47:01Speaker 1: beautiful young people that loved their families and were having
- 47:05Speaker 1: a great time and probably had a lot of connection
- 47:09Speaker 1: and success and other things going for them in life.
- 47:12Speaker 1: And so, of course, the tragedy is that those lives
- 47:15Speaker 1: are cut short. And every one of those women that
- 47:17Speaker 1: they paraded through the streets that had been raped and
- 47:19Speaker 1: disfigured and everything else that, of course, we violently dislike
- 47:25Speaker 1: that in our soul because it is an act of injustice.
- 47:29Speaker 7: Yes.
- 47:30Speaker 1: But then I have to ask you, if you're listening,
- 47:32Speaker 1: does that sound really that much different from a young
- 47:35Speaker 1: girl who's taken from her mother at seven or eight
- 47:37Speaker 1: years of age, marched into another country? Forcibly raped repeatedly
- 47:43Speaker 1: throughout her life, forcibly beaten throughout her life, threatened her life,
- 47:48Speaker 1: threatened many times being told she has to give up
- 47:51Speaker 1: her religion. And in order to be a sign that
- 47:54Speaker 1: she has done so, she has to take a sharp
- 47:57Speaker 1: object of some sort, go to a creek and self-circumcise.
- 48:01Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be graphic. I'm trying to be
- 48:03Speaker 1: honest about what this is. I mean, is that story
- 48:07Speaker 1: of those young people and what happened to them after
- 48:09Speaker 1: October 7th that different? It's not that different. And you
- 48:12Speaker 1: know what is amazing, Todd? And I am always choked
- 48:16Speaker 1: up by this. When you see the pictures of these girls...
- 48:21Speaker 1: Years later, after they've gone through all the suffering that
- 48:23Speaker 1: they've gone through, and they are told that they are
- 48:26Speaker 1: now free, the smile that emanates from their face, the
- 48:30Speaker 1: joy that comes from their heart. It's like you can't
- 48:34Speaker 1: describe the amount of happiness that resides within them. They've
- 48:40Speaker 1: been in the darkest place imaginable, and now they are
- 48:42Speaker 1: in the light of the hope of returning to their family,
- 48:45Speaker 1: to returning to free worship of Jesus Christ, all these things.
- 48:49Speaker 1: And one gift makes that happen. A gift of $ 250
- 48:53Speaker 1: makes that happen. And I just want to add this.
- 48:56Speaker 1: These women that do this, almost to a person, tell
- 49:00Speaker 1: the CSI folks that rescue them and bring them out
- 49:04Speaker 1: of slavery. They will say, thank you, thank you, thank you,
- 49:08Speaker 1: thank you. They are so full of gratitude. They are
- 49:10Speaker 1: just deeply, deeply grateful. And then they'll say, but, and
- 49:14Speaker 1: everyone stops because you're like, well, what could be the
- 49:17Speaker 1: but that needs to be said after all the thank you?
- 49:19Speaker 1: And their concern is don't stop.
- 49:22Speaker 5: Don't stop.
- 49:22Speaker 1: Until every last one comes home.
- 49:24Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 49:25Speaker 1: And there may be another 30 or 40,000 that are there,
- 49:29Speaker 1: but their heart has every reason to rejoice and forget
- 49:32Speaker 1: about that life. And their concern, even in that moment,
- 49:36Speaker 1: is for the ones that are still there. Friends, let's
- 49:38Speaker 1: help them. 888-342-1010, 888-342-1010, whatever, however many lives you would
- 49:45Speaker 1: like to liberate, multiply that by 250. That's the amount.
- 49:49Speaker 1: Here's a couple of creative ways to do it. If
- 49:52Speaker 1: you can't afford one at a time, do 125 over
- 49:56Speaker 1: two months, do 50 over six months, do 25 over
- 49:59Speaker 1: 10 months. That takes care of one. If you want
- 50:02Speaker 1: to do maybe a dozen, then do one a month.
- 50:05Speaker 1: Do 250 every month for the next year and liberate
- 50:08Speaker 1: 12 lives. If you have the ability to do more
- 50:11Speaker 1: than that, then do that and divide it by 250
- 50:13Speaker 1: and that's how many lives you've helped save. But whatever
- 50:16Speaker 1: you're doing right now, the Lord saw to it that
- 50:19Speaker 1: you would hear this and it's not by accident. I
- 50:22Speaker 1: don't believe there are accidents. I believe that God is
- 50:25Speaker 1: sovereign and what is intended to happen happens and you're
- 50:28Speaker 1: listening now for a reason. 888-342-1010, 888-342-1010, or go to thatcabinshow.com.
- 50:54Speaker 8: Here he is from New York, that Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 50:59Speaker 8: All right, welcome.
- 51:02Speaker 7: Back.
- 51:02Speaker 1: It's the Tuesday edition. And one of the best parts
- 51:06Speaker 1: of my job is I get to talk to really
- 51:08Speaker 1: ingeniously smart people. And my next guest is one of my,
- 51:11Speaker 1: I fan boy over her all the time because she
- 51:14Speaker 1: is just one of the smartest ladies I've ever spent
- 51:15Speaker 1: time with. She doesn't know much about how to deep
- 51:18Speaker 1: fry a turkey, but she can tell you everything about
- 51:21Speaker 1: the Pentagon and what we need to do militarily on
- 51:23Speaker 1: the planet that I've ever met in a human being.
- 51:26Speaker 1: Katie McFarlane, welcome back.
- 51:27Speaker 2: It's a pleasure and an honor. I may be calling
- 51:29Speaker 2: you up for instruction about deep frying turkey in the
- 51:32Speaker 2: next few weeks.
- 51:33Speaker 1: Well, she turned to me once in the strategy room
- 51:35Speaker 1: at Fox News and said, how do you know that?
- 51:38Speaker 1: And I didn't have a good answer for her, but
- 51:40Speaker 1: we've been friends ever since. Katie, you always talk about
- 51:44Speaker 1: foreign policy and stuff. Obviously, there's an election. Obviously, there's
- 51:48Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on. You know, I think
- 51:52Speaker 1: the Democrats can't really get out of their own way
- 51:54Speaker 1: to save their hide. But they there is there is
- 51:57Speaker 1: some chatter that they're trying to put forward in the
- 52:00Speaker 1: discussion about why Republicans shouldn't be given the rest of
- 52:04Speaker 1: Trump's term, control of Congress, et cetera. Let's play devil's
- 52:08Speaker 1: advocate and say worst case scenario happens. Mike Johnson doesn't
- 52:13Speaker 1: pull his weight in Congress and Leader Thune doesn't get
- 52:16Speaker 1: it done in the Senate. And they flip the Congress
- 52:20Speaker 1: into others' hands. You've thought this through. What do you
- 52:23Speaker 1: think happens?
- 52:24Speaker 2: You know, everybody's all in a twist about, oh, Trump's
- 52:27Speaker 2: going to lose the midterms, end of the world. Everything
- 52:30Speaker 2: he's done is going to be reversed. Communists are going
- 52:32Speaker 2: to run America. I don't think so. I mean, if
- 52:34Speaker 2: you look, let's take it, break it down step by
- 52:36Speaker 2: step by step. OK, so what if the House of
- 52:39Speaker 2: Representatives is in Democrats' hands? Look, for sure, 24-7, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment.
- 52:44Speaker 2: Every committee in Congress will hold impeachment hearings. And they'll
- 52:47Speaker 2: subpoena everybody from the Trump administration to anybody who is
- 52:50Speaker 2: a MAGA Republican. I mean, they're probably, you know, they're probably.
- 52:53Speaker 1: You and I will be on the list just because
- 52:56Speaker 1: we had this conversation.
- 52:56Speaker 2: We're right at the top of the list. We're at
- 52:58Speaker 2: the top of the list. And so Trump's been to
- 53:00Speaker 2: this movie before. Impeachment was the predominant thing in the
- 53:04Speaker 2: second half of his first term. So he knows what
- 53:06Speaker 2: this looks like. He knows how to handle it. And
- 53:09Speaker 2: he's not going to get spooked. And so what happens
- 53:12Speaker 2: if you're subpoenaed? You and I are subpoenaed. Well, we
- 53:14Speaker 2: could always just say, no, thank you. We're not going
- 53:16Speaker 2: to show up. And then what happens? Well, the procedure
- 53:19Speaker 2: is as follows. The House of Representatives or the Senate,
- 53:23Speaker 2: they can subpoena you. If you don't show up, they
- 53:25Speaker 2: then hold you in contempt of Congress and they vote
- 53:28Speaker 2: a resolution to have your name referred to the Justice
- 53:31Speaker 2: Department to say, would you proceed with criminal prosecution against
- 53:36Speaker 2: Kevin McCullough? And the Justice Department can say, just decide no.
- 53:41Speaker 2: And this is the Trump Justice Department. You know, Peter
- 53:43Speaker 2: Navarro and Steve Bannon were both subpoenaed in such a
- 53:46Speaker 2: way that I've just described. And their contempt of Congress
- 53:49Speaker 2: was referred to the Biden Justice Department for prosecution. The
- 53:53Speaker 2: Biden Justice Department couldn't wait to prosecute them. And so
- 53:56Speaker 2: they ended up in jail. I think the Trump administration,
- 53:59Speaker 2: particularly the Trump Justice Department, where he is in control
- 54:02Speaker 2: of the Justice Department, unlike his first term when it
- 54:04Speaker 2: was really controlled by the bureaucrats. And he had a
- 54:07Speaker 2: weak attorney generals. Now it's in the hands of strong
- 54:10Speaker 2: attorney generals. So I don't think that gets that doesn't happen.
- 54:14Speaker 2: Nobody's going to go to jail in the Trump administration.
- 54:18Speaker 2: Justice Department for defined subpoenas from Congress, I don't think.
- 54:22Speaker 1: Then the Senate.
- 54:23Speaker 5: What do you need the Senate for?
- 54:24Speaker 2: Well, you need it to confirm presidential appointees, cabinet officers.
- 54:28Speaker 2: Trump's already got a great cabinet. He's not going to
- 54:30Speaker 2: fire these guys. He wants to keep them. So they
- 54:32Speaker 2: don't really need the Senate for that.
- 54:34Speaker 5: So what do you need Congress for?
- 54:35Speaker 2: Well, Congress will vote to have more spending, raise taxes,
- 54:39Speaker 2: all the things that a Democrat would want. And Trump
- 54:43Speaker 2: can just say, no, thank you. I'm not signing that
- 54:45Speaker 2: those those bills into law. And the Democrats will say, well,
- 54:50Speaker 2: we're going to shut down government. Then Trump will say,
- 54:52Speaker 2: just that's fine. I like to shut down government. I
- 54:54Speaker 2: don't like bureaucrats. So I see I don't really see
- 54:57Speaker 2: that that's a problem for Trump. Not a big problem,
- 55:00Speaker 2: but not an insurmountable problem. It'll give a lot of,
- 55:03Speaker 2: you know, a lot of anxiety to people who are
- 55:06Speaker 2: watching CNN and a lot of But that's not going
- 55:09Speaker 2: to change Trump's policies. So what are Trump's policies? They're
- 55:13Speaker 2: already baked in the cake. So we had the Trump
- 55:16Speaker 2: tariff wars, trade wars. We won those trade wars. We
- 55:18Speaker 2: have new trade agreements with all these countries to our
- 55:21Speaker 2: great advantage. The border is already closed. The Democrats in
- 55:24Speaker 2: Congress can't open the border. We already have Greenland. They
- 55:28Speaker 2: can't give back Greenland. We've got Greenland. We've got $ 30
- 55:32Speaker 2: trillion of investment coming into the United States to build
- 55:36Speaker 2: high-end manufacturing, And employment opportunities for good jobs for Americans.
- 55:43Speaker 2: That's going to translate into thousands, hundreds, probably millions of
- 55:46Speaker 2: new jobs for Americans in the next several years. That's
- 55:49Speaker 2: already baked in the cake. The tax cuts, the streamlining
- 55:55Speaker 2: of regulations, those are already baked in. The streamlining of
- 56:00Speaker 2: cutting the red tape, that's already started happening. AI, promotion
- 56:03Speaker 2: of AI, that's already started. Congress can't do a whole
- 56:06Speaker 2: lot about any of these things that they're going to
- 56:08Speaker 2: scream about. And so if it's true, and I think
- 56:12Speaker 2: it is true, that we are on the verge of
- 56:14Speaker 2: massive economic growth with the new trade deals, with a
- 56:20Speaker 2: number of government employees, with the investment coming in the
- 56:22Speaker 2: United States, with artificial intelligence, and particularly with energy dominance.
- 56:27Speaker 2: We are headed for maybe 5% economic growth, as Scott
- 56:31Speaker 2: Besson says. Even the New York Times hates Trump. 24-7
- 56:34Speaker 2: hates Trump. They're even saying that the economy is actually
- 56:37Speaker 2: looking pretty good. The stock market is up. The stock
- 56:40Speaker 2: market doesn't seem to be affected. So by 2028... If
- 56:45Speaker 2: you have a two-year run of economic prosperity under the
- 56:49Speaker 2: last two years of the Trump administration and you go
- 56:52Speaker 2: into the 2028 presidential election, what are you going to have? Well,
- 56:56Speaker 2: you're going to have massive economic growth and success of
- 56:58Speaker 2: people with new and great jobs versus whoever the communists
- 57:03Speaker 2: that the Democrats are going to put up. Because the Democrats,
- 57:06Speaker 2: the wing of the Democrats, they're having a civil war, right?
- 57:08Speaker 2: And who's winning the Democrats' civil war? The far, far,
- 57:10Speaker 2: far left. Right. So I don't see the next two
- 57:14Speaker 2: years of the Trump administration being terribly hindered or hampered
- 57:19Speaker 2: by a Democrat Congress. And I don't see the 2028
- 57:22Speaker 2: election going in the way of the Democrats because of
- 57:26Speaker 2: all the terrible things the Democrats are going to do
- 57:28Speaker 2: to Trump in the next two years.
- 57:30Speaker 1: That is a keen assessment, KT, and so concise and
- 57:34Speaker 1: well put. I may not even see or understand everything
- 57:37Speaker 1: you just laid out. And I think on the foreign
- 57:40Speaker 1: policy front, he becomes even more bold in terms of
- 57:44Speaker 1: how he brings an end to things. And even in
- 57:47Speaker 1: his negotiations with like Putin and Zelensky, I think you're
- 57:50Speaker 1: going to see a stronger hand of leadership there. kind
- 57:53Speaker 1: of regardless of the outcome of what the elections do.
- 57:55Speaker 2: Yeah, especially because of economic prosperity. This is what happened
- 57:58Speaker 2: with Reagan. And the economy that started turning around in 1983–
- 58:04Speaker 2: really gave Reagan a lot of wind behind his sails
- 58:09Speaker 2: when he's dealing with other countries. So look, by 2028,
- 58:12Speaker 2: the Iran war is done, one way or the other.
- 58:14Speaker 2: Economic prosperity is not happening in Europe. They're having zero
- 58:17Speaker 2: economic growth. China, for a whole lot of its own problems, reasons,
- 58:21Speaker 2: is probably not going to have the kind of economic
- 58:22Speaker 2: growth we're talking about.
- 58:23Speaker 5: In the United States.
- 58:25Speaker 2: So we will be in a very strong position globally,
- 58:29Speaker 2: If we are winning the AI race, if our economic
- 58:32Speaker 2: prosperity is such that we're growing at 5% a year,
- 58:35Speaker 2: it's going to be like an upward spiral, not a
- 58:38Speaker 2: downward death spiral. It's an upward prosperity cycle. I think
- 58:42Speaker 2: President Trump will go down. All the things I've said
- 58:45Speaker 2: are true. I think President Trump goes down as being
- 58:47Speaker 2: one of our handful of top presidents in American history.
- 58:51Speaker 1: We've kind of seen Doge go kind of quiet. And
- 58:54Speaker 1: there was a lot from USAID that Doge kind of
- 58:58Speaker 1: ferreted out and we got taken care of that I
- 59:01Speaker 1: think ended up shaping our entire hemisphere. Because if you
- 59:04Speaker 1: look at all those countries that have elected pro-American leadership
- 59:08Speaker 1: since the start of this Trump term, it corresponds with
- 59:13Speaker 1: the absence of USAID money. Are we likely to see
- 59:17Speaker 1: more executive action on the Doge front or is that
- 59:22Speaker 1: season come and gone from your perspective?
- 59:24Speaker 8: Oh, it's here.
- 59:25Speaker 2: Go look at it previewed last Monday.
- 59:29Speaker 5: It's called America.gov.
- 59:30Speaker 2: Everybody should immediately go to America.gov.
- 59:33Speaker 5: Type it in.
- 59:34Speaker 2: It's the consolidation of all the government functions. So the man,
- 59:37Speaker 2: Joe Gebbia, who founded Airbnb, he came in with Elon
- 59:42Speaker 2: Musk and was part of the Doge team. And one
- 59:44Speaker 2: of the things he found was, oh, my God, these
- 59:46Speaker 2: are gazillion government agencies. Nobody's talking to each other.
- 59:49Speaker 3: They're all scattered.
- 59:51Speaker 2: They're all inefficient. They're all incompetent.
- 59:53Speaker 3: They're all expensive.
- 59:54Speaker 2: And so he's taken something like 23,000 government websites and
- 59:58Speaker 2: consolidated into one. So you can now go to America.gov.
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: And it's artificial AI generated. So you can say or
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: type what your problem is. I want to get a
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: new passport. I want to know if I'm an American citizen.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: I want to know if I'm eligible for Social Security.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: And click, click, click, click. Within a few seconds, you
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: get your answer. And it'll be two clicks to get
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: to how do I renew my passport.
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: And there used to be several blocks of buildings in
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Washington that handled all those questions.
- 1:00:28Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: So you don't need those government bureaucrats anymore, first of all.
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: And number two, it's become efficient and it's effective. So
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: I think that Doge, I mean, the legacy of Doge
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: could well be America.gov. It is the coolest website ever.
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: And you will click through and you'll think, whoa. And
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: then the statistics are it replaces one government website, replaces
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: 23,000 government websites. The average person... I was clicking through,
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: I don't know, 30, 40 times. You have to click
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: through 40 to get to where you wanted to get
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: to renew your passport. And the number of man hours
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: wasted by you and me, not to mention the government workers,
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: as we're clicking through to try to find how do
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: I renew my passport. It's just, it's a revolution. And
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: government could suddenly, without doubt, become efficient and competent and user-friendly.
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: Who knew?
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: That's incredible. All right, KT, always appreciate the insights. Thank
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: you so much.
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: It's a pleasure. Thank you.
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: You got it. Kevin McCullough coming right back.
- 1:01:33Speaker 10: Stick around for.
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: More of That Kevin, next.
- 1:01:55Speaker 8: From New York, that Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. That Kevin Show, thatkevinshow.com. You can
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: get everything there. The podcast, the column, the TV show,
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: everything is there. The resources for worship leaders that we've
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: now started featuring there. It's all there. It's never behind
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: a paywall. It's always free. As is the button for
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: you to help us set a human being free. right now. Kev,
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Setting people free? You're sounding
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: like they're in slavery. I just had this discussion with
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: Mike Gonzalez of the Heritage Foundation earlier today. People railing
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: against racism and all the problems of the world and
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: the very loudest voices that argue about that stuff ignore
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: the fact, ignore the fact that we have more enslaved
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: peoples in the world today than pre-abolition. And that is
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: mind-boggling for some, but friends, it is true. Just because
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: it's hard to believe doesn't mean we shouldn't understand what
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: the facts say. It is in fact true. And that's
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: why I am passionately committed to joining with Christian Solidarity
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: International every year. And we have for the last, I
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: don't even know how many number of years, to do
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: this event right around Christmas every year, And I could
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: fill this airtime up with all kinds of other things.
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: I want to specifically focus on this because I believe
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: in the cause of the good that it does. Todd
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: Chapman is back with us from CSI. And Todd, the
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: thing that I just said to open the segment with
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: is really true. People are kind of blown away. It's
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: kind of you say slavery still exists. That's one level
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: of shock. But then you say it exists at a
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: bigger level and more prominent than it's ever been on
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: global history. People think that are listening to me mostly
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: think in the North American Western construct and in Europe
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: and in the Americas, we pretty much don't have slavery
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: because of some good people that did some good things
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: a long time ago. But it does go on in
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: a lot of other places.
- 1:04:05Speaker 5: Yeah, actually, I was just looking up the latest stats
- 1:04:08Speaker 5: on that. So it's estimated and this is probably a
- 1:04:10Speaker 5: squishy number because it's very difficult to track this and
- 1:04:13Speaker 5: measure this. But It's estimated that there's at least 50
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: million people in some form of slavery around the world.
- 1:04:20Speaker 5: Think about that. That's what about, you know, 350 million
- 1:04:24Speaker 5: people in America. So imagine if one out of every.
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: Million on the planet, isn't that something like one out
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: of every 16 people?
- 1:04:33Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, you're asking me to do math and I'm
- 1:04:36Speaker 5: terrible at math, but a lot of people.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: It is.
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: It's too many people. And, you know, I just looked
- 1:04:43Speaker 5: this up. This blew my mind. Globally, 167 countries around
- 1:04:49Speaker 5: the world have some form of slavery, forced labor, forced marriage,
- 1:04:53Speaker 5: you know, trafficking. I mean, it's it is a huge problem.
- 1:04:57Speaker 5: It's growing, you know, child trafficking in particular, fastest growing
- 1:05:01Speaker 5: form of organized crime on the face of the earth.
- 1:05:04Speaker 5: And so, yeah, I think, you know, where we're going
- 1:05:06Speaker 5: with this is this is something that obviously God abhors
- 1:05:11Speaker 5: and hates. This is not his construct. I mean, you know,
- 1:05:14Speaker 5: the Bible is very clear. It is for Christ. It
- 1:05:17Speaker 5: is for freedom that Christ himself came.
- 1:05:19Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:05:19Speaker 5: God sent his one. and only son to buy our
- 1:05:22Speaker 5: freedom spiritually, but also physically and freedom in every way.
- 1:05:27Speaker 5: So as his children, as his followers, we need to
- 1:05:30Speaker 5: care about this. But we're very blessed here in America.
- 1:05:33Speaker 5: We tend to live a pretty isolated existence. And I think,
- 1:05:37Speaker 5: you know, people say, well, I'm not surprised that there
- 1:05:39Speaker 5: are slaves in the world. But you probably are blown
- 1:05:42Speaker 5: away when you hear the actual numbers. Now, the question,
- 1:05:46Speaker 5: what can you as one person do about it? That's
- 1:05:49Speaker 5: where it gets overwhelming, right? 50 million people. What am
- 1:05:52Speaker 5: I going to do about that? I'm just one person.
- 1:05:54Speaker 5: That's why the beauty of what we're inviting you to
- 1:05:56Speaker 5: do today, you yourself, you and your family with a
- 1:06:00Speaker 5: single decision that you can make in it just like
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: that and a gift of two hundred and fifty dollars.
- 1:06:05Speaker 5: And you can free a human being who has been
- 1:06:08Speaker 5: enslaved for decades, going all the way back to the
- 1:06:11Speaker 5: last century, as my kids would say. And it's so beautiful.
- 1:06:14Speaker 5: Not only do you free them, but you have the
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: opportunity through Christian Solidarity International to set them up and
- 1:06:20Speaker 5: equip them to step into a new life in freedom.
- 1:06:24Speaker 5: $ 250 does that. We've partnered with that Kevin show for
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: years now, and thousands of slaves have been freed by
- 1:06:30Speaker 5: listeners to this program over the years. We're praying for
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: a few hundred more at our end of year campaign.
- 1:06:37Speaker 5: We do it every year at this time. So wholeheartedly
- 1:06:40Speaker 5: invite you in. to rescue as many people as you
- 1:06:42Speaker 5: have the heart and the financial capacity to free. That's
- 1:06:46Speaker 5: what we're doing today.
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: And it's easy to do. There's two different ways you
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: can get involved. One is to pick up your phone
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: and talk to another human being. I know that's a
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: very unpopular thing to do these days. There's even a
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: disagreement in my own marriage about whether or not you
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: should call or text or send an email. It's like,
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: don't bother people, don't call them. But maybe you're an
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: old-fashioned person like me, or maybe you're just old, and
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: you just need to talk to someone. 888-342-1010 is the number, 888-342-1010.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: You can also just go online to That Kevin Show,
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: click the banner that you'll see CSI. There's one at
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: the top of the page. And then if you're on
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: your mobile device or you're on the web page online,
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: if you scroll all the way down, there'll be another
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: one that pops up from the bottom. And you can
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: click either one of those and it'll take you straight through.
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: It shouldn't take you more on either device to take
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: more than about a couple of minutes to give your gift.
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: And then you're off and running. But you will have
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: made a difference in the world. And, Todd, I love
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: technology because you and I are both terrible at math.
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: 49.6 million. You had that part right. Nearly 50 million
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: people in slavery. About 28 million are in forced labor.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: About 22 million are in some sort of forced marriage.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: About 12.5 million are children. Let that sink in.
- 1:08:08Speaker 5: About one in four.
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: That's the equivalent of basically the entire tri-state or the
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: entire city of New York.
- 1:08:15Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: 13 million people. Children are enslaved. 54% of all slaves
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: are women and girls. About 7 million are victims of
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: forced commercial sex exploitation. Change of life forever. 888-342-1010, 888-342-1010, 888-342-1010,

- 1:09:00Speaker 10: Welcome back.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: Times Square. Kevin McCullough. That Kevin Show. Thatkevinshow.com. Now heard
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: from Anchorage to Miami Beach, San Diego to Kennebuckport. Anywhere
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: you can think in the United States, you can get
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: us every day, Monday through Friday. Thank you for being here.
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: Very honored to have Ambassador Carla Sands back with us
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: from the America First Policy Institute. First of all, I
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: love AFPI and everything that they're about. But Ambassador, you
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: were the very first person on my show after Donald
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: Trump got elected to even broach the subject of Greenland.
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: And it's been a few weeks since the announcement that
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: we've had some success on that front. But I'm dying
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: to know your thoughts, not just Because we all saw
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: it play out and how the president said he wanted
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: to go get it, kind of did the typical Trump thing,
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: launched the big cannon shot. Everybody reacts and recoils. And
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: then secretly Rubio and those people go into these private conversations.
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: And then for months, Greenland and Denmark and the U.S.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: are talking together. Take us inside what you think happened
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: and exactly how it all came about.
- 1:10:09Speaker 9: Absolutely. And Kevin, one of the biggest shocks for me
- 1:10:12Speaker 9: was that they kept those discussions quiet.
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: Right. It was shocking when they announced it.
- 1:10:19Speaker 5: And they did it.
- 1:10:20Speaker 9: So I'm so proud of all three, you know, countries
- 1:10:23Speaker 9: coming together and actually maintaining that cone of silence to
- 1:10:27Speaker 9: get the deal done. And it is exciting that the
- 1:10:30Speaker 9: deal is done and that we.
- 1:10:32Speaker 6: Got what we needed.
- 1:10:32Speaker 9: And people who are shocked at President Trump coming in
- 1:10:36Speaker 9: and saying the things he said are Never read his book,
- 1:10:39Speaker 9: The Art of the Deal, I think, because this is
- 1:10:43Speaker 9: how he works. He disrupts the, I would say, the
- 1:10:48Speaker 9: sacred cows. He disrupts how things usually are, which is
- 1:10:52Speaker 9: people talk around issues for years or decades and not
- 1:10:56Speaker 9: much happens. Instead, he is really results driven, not process driven.
- 1:11:01Speaker 9: Europe is generally process driven. You don't see many results
- 1:11:05Speaker 9: or at least.
- 1:11:06Speaker 8: Not good ones.
- 1:11:07Speaker 9: So he got a deal done that gives the United
- 1:11:10Speaker 9: States the ability to expand our presence in Greenland to
- 1:11:15Speaker 9: have to make sure that adversaries don't come in. And
- 1:11:20Speaker 9: even if Greenland leaves Denmark in the kingdom, which they
- 1:11:24Speaker 9: will this century, we will have this security agreement. And
- 1:11:28Speaker 9: that was really the biggest need for the United States
- 1:11:31Speaker 9: because they're part of the Golden Dome. And also for
- 1:11:35Speaker 9: an adversary to control the world's largest island, one third
- 1:11:39Speaker 9: the size of the continental U.S., would be very dangerous
- 1:11:43Speaker 9: because whoever controls that island can control the skies and
- 1:11:46Speaker 9: the seas themselves. in the North Atlantic, where a lot
- 1:11:49Speaker 9: of flights take place, but also where trade and defense
- 1:11:52Speaker 9: and offense takes place on the sea, not just the air.
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: It's my understanding, too, that ICBMs can find their fastest
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: path to America coming over the top of the globe
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: from Russia and China, as opposed to circumnavigating it. And
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: I think that it's just really imperative for people to
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: understand what a big deal this is, not just for
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: the U.S., but it helps protect all of the West.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: Most of Europe our friends, the Canadians, which they are
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: our friends, but North America and particularly our East Coast,
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: which is so vulnerable. But I want to go, because
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: you were ambassador to Denmark, is that correct?
- 1:12:30Speaker 9: I was, but Denmark is a kingdom. It also, Denmark
- 1:12:34Speaker 9: as a kingdom is also Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: Right. So as, that was what fascinated me was because
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: you really understood what they were thinking the whole time
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: Trump started launching this trial balloon out there a few
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: months ago. And you told us on this show that
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: they didn't much appreciate the balloon being floated, but partly
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: because it exposed what a bad job they had done
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: of taking care of Greenland.
- 1:13:04Speaker 8: Yes.
- 1:13:04Speaker 9: Denmark was existentially threatened because Greenland makes them a big power.
- 1:13:11Speaker 9: They're an Arctic power because of Greenland. They have a
- 1:13:15Speaker 9: big land mass because of Greenland. Otherwise- Denmark's like the
- 1:13:18Speaker 9: size of New Jersey and with the economy like the
- 1:13:23Speaker 9: state of Colorado with a little over 5 million people.
- 1:13:27Speaker 9: And then they also have the Faroe Islands, which is
- 1:13:29Speaker 9: a tiny chain of islands near the Scottish Shetland Islands.
- 1:13:34Speaker 9: So with a fish economy and they're diversifying as well,
- 1:13:39Speaker 9: and they have a higher GDP than Denmark does, the
- 1:13:43Speaker 9: Faroe Islands. And so- They're successful and they're good businessmen
- 1:13:49Speaker 9: and women. Greenland, on the other hand, depends on welfare
- 1:13:53Speaker 9: from Denmark. They were oppressed by the Danes and they
- 1:13:58Speaker 9: never found their way out. And they just basically subsist
- 1:14:03Speaker 9: on fish and welfare transfer. So it's kind of like being,
- 1:14:06Speaker 9: if you go to a town that's mostly on welfare
- 1:14:08Speaker 9: and you can kind of see the malaise, the, the, the,
- 1:14:12Speaker 9: the sort of societal ills that come out of that
- 1:14:16Speaker 9: because men are, it, it, it takes away their power, their, their, um,
- 1:14:20Speaker 9: their drive, I think. And so, um, you see the
- 1:14:24Speaker 9: women actually succeeding in many cases more than the men.
- 1:14:28Speaker 9: It's not good for society. And, um, So what President
- 1:14:32Speaker 9: Trump has done is he's thrown Greenland a lifeline. They'll
- 1:14:36Speaker 9: be able to do more business with the U.S. because
- 1:14:39Speaker 9: now we're going to have this new security relationship. And
- 1:14:43Speaker 9: I think companies will be– they'll feel more secure to
- 1:14:47Speaker 9: make investments in Greenland, maybe in tourism, which would be
- 1:14:50Speaker 9: an easy win for the Greenlanders. But ultimately, Kevin, I
- 1:14:54Speaker 9: have to tell you, Greenland can become the world's richest island,
- 1:14:58Speaker 9: richest absolutely– They have two to three times as much
- 1:15:01Speaker 9: oil and gas as Norway has in their North Sea.
- 1:15:05Speaker 9: And if they harvest that and they create a sovereign
- 1:15:09Speaker 9: wealth fund like Alaska did, Norway has the world's largest
- 1:15:14Speaker 9: sovereign wealth fund. Greenlands will exceed Norway's if they are
- 1:15:18Speaker 9: successful at this effort. and they structure it right, they'll
- 1:15:22Speaker 9: become the world's richest people. There's only about 57,000, 58,000
- 1:15:27Speaker 9: people in Greenland. I will just raise that our manufacturing
- 1:15:31Speaker 9: of arms has to really fundamentally change and be more nimble.
- 1:15:36Speaker 9: These old legacy companies, which we love, but they're really
- 1:15:39Speaker 9: not built for today, for the military of today, which
- 1:15:42Speaker 9: has real-time feedback. And, you know, arms have to change
- 1:15:48Speaker 9: very quickly. You can see them changing in Ukraine just
- 1:15:51Speaker 9: in weeks. They have a new model that can have
- 1:15:53Speaker 9: an edge over the threat. So we're going to have
- 1:15:56Speaker 9: to fundamentally change how we defend the United States. And
- 1:15:59Speaker 9: I think President Trump's aware of that. And the Golden
- 1:16:02Speaker 9: Dome will be something that can actually plug in and
- 1:16:06Speaker 9: achieve a real security for the people of the United
- 1:16:10Speaker 9: States and Canada. And I think it's going to be
- 1:16:13Speaker 9: a very important thing because the threats are it's unbelievable
- 1:16:17Speaker 9: how fast our adversaries are learning and adapting, watching what's going.
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: On in the Ukraine war.
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: Ambassador Carla Sands, always a delight to have you with us.
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: Thank you for being here.
- 1:16:28Speaker 9: Thanks for having me, Kevin.
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: You got it. Kevin McCullough coming right back. Don't go anywhere.
- 1:16:33Speaker 10: Stick around for more of That Kevin next. Serving it
- 1:16:48Speaker 10: up with a no-drink minimum.
- 1:16:52Speaker 5: It's That Kevin Show.
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: All right, Kevin McCullough, glad to have you with us.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: Final few thoughts for this period of time together, friends,
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: about Christian Solidarity International and why it's so important. Look,
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: I'm never going to apologize for asking you to give
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: to great causes. I have told you that from the beginning.
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: This is part of my expression of gratitude back to
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: God for the honor and the privilege and the humble
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: coolness that it is to get to do what I
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: do for a living every day. And it wouldn't be
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: possible had he not said, this is what I'm calling
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: you to. But because of that, I want to use
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: a portion of this platform every single day for his
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: glory and to do things that advance his kingdom. And
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: Todd Chapman is back with us from Christian Solidarity International.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: And Todd, as I have had the chance to not
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: just advocate for CSI on the air over the years,
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: but to get to know the organization and to see
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: how it operates and to understand the biblical efficiency with
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: which they take their stewardship and the extreme care that
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: is taken with every gift that is given and the
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: integrity behind all of that. I have to say, not
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: only are they doing incredible things, they're one of the
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: best organizations I've ever had the chance to be part of.
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: And that's why I continue to sing their praises long
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: after we're not on the air anymore. Like this is
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: one of my passion organizations. That I really, really mean
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: it when I say this. I believe that they are
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: doing God's work in every aspect.
- 1:18:16Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of feel like it's David against Goliath
- 1:18:20Speaker 5: in a lot of ways. You know, we're not a
- 1:18:22Speaker 5: big organization. Many people have never heard of us every
- 1:18:26Speaker 5: time we do a radio campaign. And you may be
- 1:18:29Speaker 5: hearing about CSI, Christian Solidarity International, for the very first time.
- 1:18:34Speaker 5: But man, just because, you know, God has just blessed us.
- 1:18:38Speaker 5: And that's because we're just committed to doing what he
- 1:18:41Speaker 5: says in his word, which is to set captives free
- 1:18:43Speaker 5: and inviting other people to do that. And so over
- 1:18:45Speaker 5: the past, you know, 30 plus years over, get this
- 1:18:49Speaker 5: friends over. And this is not me boasting on, on CSI.
- 1:18:52Speaker 5: This is me boasting on God and boasting on our
- 1:18:55Speaker 5: generous donors that have made this possible over 160,000 human
- 1:19:01Speaker 5: beings freed from captivity. Yes, but also the worst possible
- 1:19:05Speaker 5: abuse that you could imagine. Verbal, physical, psychological, sexual. I mean,
- 1:19:10Speaker 5: any form of abuse that a human being can endure.
- 1:19:12Speaker 5: These slaves have been subjected to that. And also and
- 1:19:16Speaker 5: it's gone on for decades. And also children now have
- 1:19:19Speaker 5: been born into that. And so and I'm really excited
- 1:19:21Speaker 5: about that, because if you free a mom right now,
- 1:19:23Speaker 5: more than ever before, we've been able to negotiate not
- 1:19:26Speaker 5: just the freedom of the mom, but the freedom of
- 1:19:28Speaker 5: a child. So for two hundred and fifty dollars. Man,
- 1:19:31Speaker 5: you can liberate two human beings, one that has already
- 1:19:34Speaker 5: endured decades of abuse, but one that if we don't
- 1:19:37Speaker 5: get them free, we'll also suffer that. Yeah, we're preventing that.
- 1:19:41Speaker 5: So it's so beautiful. I just wanted to real quickly
- 1:19:44Speaker 5: give you a little encouragement. I'm looking at Isaiah 61.1.
- 1:19:47Speaker 5: And what you're invited to do right now checks every
- 1:19:49Speaker 5: box in this verse. Check this out. The Spirit of
- 1:19:52Speaker 5: the Lord God is on me because the Lord has
- 1:19:54Speaker 5: anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted, sent
- 1:19:57Speaker 5: me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to
- 1:19:59Speaker 5: the captives and freedom to prisoners. You can check four
- 1:20:03Speaker 5: beautiful biblical opportunities right there with your gift right now. $ 250,
- 1:20:08Speaker 5: you set a captive free, you equip them to step
- 1:20:11Speaker 5: into a new life and freedom. And man, hands going
- 1:20:15Speaker 5: up in heaven for every gift that you give, because
- 1:20:17Speaker 5: that's another human being freed.
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: 888-342-1010 is the number where that takes place. 888-342-1010. And
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: you may be saying, well, Kev, why wouldn't they liberate
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: the kids if the moms are being liberated? Well, the
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: slave master views that child who he impregnated the slave
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: with is his property too.
- 1:20:36Speaker 5: Kind of theirs.
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: And so the idea that we're able to talk him
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: out of a future generation of a slave, which if
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: it's a young boy is a very valuable thing to
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: his calculations, um, is a, is a God thing. And
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: it did not happen for many, many years that I
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: was involved with CSI. It has begun happening over the
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: last two to three years and we couldn't be more
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: excited about it because it saves every one of those kids, uh,
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: from that horrific future themselves.
- 1:21:05Speaker 9: 888-342-1010.
