- 1:18Speaker 4: Be, here.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Welcome back from Times Square. It's That Kevin Show, thatkevinshow.com.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Grateful to have you with us. And I am grateful
- 1:33Speaker 3: that it is back to one of my favorite times
- 1:36Speaker 3: of the year.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Why?
- 1:38Speaker 3: Well, I talk about it on the show all the time.
- 1:41Speaker 3: I'm a sucker for the end of year holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas,
- 1:47Speaker 3: all the joy, all the thankfulness, all the gratitude, all
- 1:51Speaker 3: the presents, all the kids getting excited, the music, all
- 1:55Speaker 3: of it. It just fills my heart with happiness and fulfillment.
- 1:59Speaker 3: And even though we're not quite in the slog of
- 2:02Speaker 3: that portion just yet, we are concentrating from here to
- 2:07Speaker 3: the end for a good outcome for Christmas for Christians
- 2:12Speaker 3: that are enslaved and that have no reason to believe
- 2:17Speaker 3: that there's going to be anything good in their life.
- 2:18Speaker 3: And we can actually give them their life back. We're
- 2:21Speaker 3: talking about our annual Christmas. liberation of people who are
- 2:25Speaker 3: enslaved in Sudan. And that voice that chimed in right
- 2:29Speaker 3: there is Todd Chapman, who rejoins us from a little
- 2:32Speaker 3: group called Christian Solidarity International. I love this group. I've
- 2:36Speaker 3: told you about them for years. We've together seen thousands
- 2:41Speaker 3: of people literally taken out of slavery and given a
- 2:44Speaker 3: life all over again. And, Todd, last year we didn't
- 2:47Speaker 3: have enough time to enjoy the entire process for the
- 2:50Speaker 3: full last quarter of the year. But we're going to
- 2:53Speaker 3: do something great this year for people that are brand new.
- 2:57Speaker 3: And we have new people tuning in from Anchorage to
- 2:59Speaker 3: Miami every day. Like, it's just cool how people are
- 3:02Speaker 3: finding the show. What is this all about?
- 3:05Speaker 7: Yeah, so CSI is an organization that for actually 49 years,
- 3:09Speaker 7: celebrating 50 years in 2027, has been liberating slaves and
- 3:15Speaker 7: really ministering to Christians. all over the world who are
- 3:18Speaker 7: being persecuted for their faith. But the work that is
- 3:22Speaker 7: probably most unique and that we're best known for is
- 3:24Speaker 7: what we're going to be talking about and inviting you
- 3:26Speaker 7: to be a part of for the remainder of this year,
- 3:28Speaker 7: and that is to free Sudanese slaves. Now, this goes
- 3:31Speaker 7: all the way back to, as my kids would say,
- 3:33Speaker 7: the last century when a civil war was raging in Sudan,
- 3:41Speaker 7: and militants were basically allowed to go into Christian communities
- 3:44Speaker 7: and and pillage and kidnap and kill and destroy those villages.
- 3:49Speaker 7: And the outcome of that was hundreds of thousands of slaves,
- 3:53Speaker 7: primarily women and children, were abducted and taken into what
- 3:56Speaker 7: is now Sudan. This was, you know, right about the
- 4:00Speaker 7: time South Sudan was being formed in this same period
- 4:02Speaker 7: of time. And these slaves have been kept there for
- 4:05Speaker 7: decades now. We're talking, you know, 25, 30 years for some.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Of these.
- 4:10Speaker 7: People who many were children and now they're still living enslaved.
- 4:14Speaker 7: And so CSI not only at that period of time
- 4:17Speaker 7: negotiated the end of slave taking during that time of conflict,
- 4:22Speaker 7: but what they weren't able to do at the time
- 4:24Speaker 7: was actually secure the release of those slaves through, you know,
- 4:29Speaker 7: government negotiations. So they said, well, if the government's not
- 4:32Speaker 7: going to do it, God's people will. And so for
- 4:35Speaker 7: the last, you know, since 19, Well, the mid-1990s, we
- 4:39Speaker 7: have been freeing slaves every year, thanks to the generosity
- 4:41Speaker 7: of people like you. $ 250, incredibly, is all it takes
- 4:46Speaker 7: for us to send our slave retrievers that are working year-round,
- 4:49Speaker 7: by the way, identifying these enslaved women and children and
- 4:53Speaker 7: negotiating their release. We'll talk more about that in a minute.
- 4:56Speaker 7: And then bringing them back down into South Sudan, and
- 4:59Speaker 7: whenever we can, reuniting them with their family members, moving
- 5:02Speaker 7: them back to their communities. And if we can't find that,
- 5:05Speaker 7: because some of these people were taken to such a
- 5:07Speaker 7: tender age, they don't even remember.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Or had their whole family killed in the process. Yeah, exactly.
- 5:12Speaker 7: Yeah, they might be gone. So if that's the case,
- 5:15Speaker 7: then we set them up in new communities of Christians.
- 5:17Speaker 7: This is all done through the church there in South Sudan,
- 5:20Speaker 7: all powered by your generosity. Kevin, it's so unique. It's
- 5:24Speaker 7: so beautiful. And this is the heart of the scripture, right?
- 5:27Speaker 7: The Bible says that Jesus came for freedom. And so
- 5:30Speaker 7: that's what we're supposed to be in the business of
- 5:32Speaker 7: as followers of Christ, setting captives free. And in this case,
- 5:36Speaker 7: that's physical bondage. And I will add to this that
- 5:40Speaker 7: these women and children have been they've been subject to
- 5:44Speaker 7: just incredible abuse across such a period of time. Physical abuse,
- 5:47Speaker 7: verbal abuse, slave labor, sexual abuse of all different forms.
- 5:51Speaker 7: It's a miracle thing. frankly, that many have survived as
- 5:54Speaker 7: long as they have. But we can liberate them. Over
- 5:58Speaker 7: 160 slaves already rescued through CSI, thanks to generous people
- 6:02Speaker 7: like you. And during this holiday season, we're hoping the
- 6:05Speaker 7: listeners of that Kevin show will free several hundred more.
- 6:08Speaker 7: So that's what I'm here for. And I'm pumped to
- 6:10Speaker 7: be back every year. This is such a gratifying time
- 6:12Speaker 7: of the year.
- 6:13Speaker 3: I love ending the year with this because it is
- 6:15Speaker 3: one of the most meaningful things that we've ever participated
- 6:18Speaker 3: in as a family and the ability to get to
- 6:21Speaker 3: just be part of it is such an honor. Friends,
- 6:25Speaker 3: I have told you the whole time that I've been
- 6:27Speaker 3: on the air that I never ask you to do
- 6:29Speaker 3: anything that we don't do personally. And that's true with CSI.
- 6:34Speaker 3: We've given to them for years and we've had the joy.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Back during COVID, my kids were listening to me do
- 6:41Speaker 3: my show from my home studio and when they weren't
- 6:43Speaker 3: going to school in person, and they would hear us
- 6:48Speaker 3: discuss the situation that the slaves were facing. And they
- 6:53Speaker 3: really held my feet to the fire and said, Dad,
- 6:55Speaker 3: what are we doing to do anything about this? And
- 6:58Speaker 3: this became the cause of the McCullough family and is
- 7:02Speaker 3: to this day. And by God's grace, we have been
- 7:05Speaker 3: able to literally liberate dozens of slaves ourselves as just
- 7:11Speaker 3: a family. And we want to encourage you to join
- 7:14Speaker 3: us on that path as well. 1-888-342-1010 is the number. 888-342-1010.
- 7:21Speaker 3: And if you go to the all newly designed thatkevinshow.com,
- 7:25Speaker 3: you'll see banners at the top and at the bottom.
- 7:28Speaker 3: If you're on the mobile version, it pops up from
- 7:30Speaker 3: the bottom and just is right there, but you'll see
- 7:32Speaker 3: CSI banners right there. It is easy to give through those.
- 7:36Speaker 3: You click it and I'm serious in 60 seconds or less,
- 7:39Speaker 3: you can make your gift and be on your way.
- 7:41Speaker 3: And so the idea that CSI is going to actively
- 7:44Speaker 3: work until we have them all back. At the height
- 7:48Speaker 3: of the conflict, there were probably about 185,000, maybe 200,000
- 7:53Speaker 3: slaves in total that were enslaved in North Sudan. Because
- 7:57Speaker 3: of Christian Solidarity International, more than 150,000 of those have
- 8:00Speaker 3: been liberated and brought home and released. But that means
- 8:04Speaker 3: that there's still 35,000 or 40,000 that are still there.
- 8:07Speaker 3: And some have had children as prisoners. way of their
- 8:10Speaker 3: slave masters while they've been in slavery. So the number
- 8:13Speaker 3: fluctuates a little bit, but even, even the kids we
- 8:16Speaker 3: can now help liberate and bring home, which has not
- 8:17Speaker 3: been able to happen before.
- 8:19Speaker 7: Yeah, it's pretty it's pretty remarkable. And yeah, it's just
- 8:23Speaker 7: one slight correction. Just got the latest updated numbers over
- 8:26Speaker 7: 160 now thousand slaves have been liberated. So that is
- 8:29Speaker 7: just phenomenal. But we don't really know, honestly, how many remain,
- 8:33Speaker 7: because to your point, kids have been born. And so
- 8:36Speaker 7: it's a real hard calculation to make. But we have
- 8:39Speaker 7: slave retrievers that, again, throughout the year. They're working in
- 8:43Speaker 7: that part of the country and they know how to
- 8:45Speaker 7: spot these slaves. I mean, so many stories about, you know,
- 8:48Speaker 7: a slave woman will be at the market or she'll
- 8:50Speaker 7: be gathering water or tending the flock. And one of
- 8:52Speaker 7: our retrievers will recognize the hallmarks. I mean, frankly, a
- 8:55Speaker 7: lot of them are physically scarred from abuse and things
- 8:57Speaker 7: like that. And they'll say, hey, would you do you
- 8:59Speaker 7: want to be free? And then they'll negotiate freedom, not
- 9:03Speaker 7: with money, but with a cattle vaccine that these these ranchers,
- 9:06Speaker 7: these slave owners need. And that's how we've been doing this.
- 9:09Speaker 7: Your $ 250 gift does that. Also provides them with the
- 9:12Speaker 7: resources necessary to start a new life.
- 9:16Speaker 3: It's a dairy goat.
- 9:16Speaker 7: It's a bag of hope with all sorts of supplies, food,
- 9:20Speaker 7: and everything they need, Kevin, to start a new life
- 9:23Speaker 7: and freedom.
- 9:23Speaker 8: That's what we get to do.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Yeah. $ 250 liberates a life, sometimes the life of the
- 9:28Speaker 3: mom and the child, sometimes two.
- 9:30Speaker 5: 1-888-342-1010.

- 10:09Speaker 9: Here he is, from New York, that Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 10:20Speaker 3: Welcome back. It is the Monday edition of That Kevin Show, thatkevinshow.com.
- 10:26Speaker 3: And if you're a regular listener to the show, on
- 10:29Speaker 3: a daily basis, you hear my next guest with his
- 10:34Speaker 3: one-minute thoughts every day about various things related to the
- 10:37Speaker 3: Christian life and what's happening. He is the lead pastor
- 10:40Speaker 3: at Coast Life Church, and he is returning for his
- 10:44Speaker 3: follow-up to his debut appearance in the section of the
- 10:48Speaker 3: show we called How Do We Live? How Do We Live?
- 10:50Speaker 3: this part of the show is concentrated at the beginning
- 10:53Speaker 3: of the show for a reason. Before we take on
- 10:56Speaker 3: the issues of the day, before we go into all
- 10:59Speaker 3: of the noise, I want us to be rooted and
- 11:02Speaker 3: grounded in biblical truth so that we can learn to
- 11:06Speaker 3: interpret the rest of it properly. Jason Mormon is his name.
- 11:09Speaker 3: Pastor Jason, it's good to have you back. Thanks for
- 11:11Speaker 3: being here.
- 11:13Speaker 4: Man, I'm so excited to be back on with you.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Thank you for having me.
- 11:15Speaker 3: I'm excited to have you back because we knew that
- 11:19Speaker 3: back when you first joined the show that there was
- 11:21Speaker 3: going to be a day in which there was an
- 11:22Speaker 3: exciting new project in your life that was going to
- 11:25Speaker 3: come to complete fruition. Tell us about God's cookbook, Recovering
- 11:30Speaker 3: the Flavor of Faith in a Saltless Age.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm so excited to get this book launched. It's
- 11:37Speaker 4: finally out. And, you know, it's been in my heart, honestly,
- 11:41Speaker 4: for about three years. And just had this desire to
- 11:45Speaker 4: help people understand what Jesus was saying when he said,
- 11:48Speaker 4: you are the salt of the earth. And that's what
- 11:52Speaker 4: the book goes into. It goes into how Christianity is
- 11:55Speaker 4: supposed to influence society. And it's got recipes in it,
- 11:59Speaker 4: like recipes of how Christianity is supposed to bring the
- 12:04Speaker 4: salt of truth to the table of the world.
- 12:06Speaker 3: I love it. Well, let's jump in. Today, we're going
- 12:09Speaker 3: to talk about God's one ingredient, salt.
- 12:13Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, in God's cookbook, he has one ingredient
- 12:16Speaker 4: and it's salt. Matthew 5, 13, Jesus goes, hey, you
- 12:20Speaker 4: are the salt of the earth. And I was studying
- 12:25Speaker 4: that and it dawned on me that I think a
- 12:27Speaker 4: lot of people, because it's become a cliche, something we
- 12:31Speaker 4: say about people. You know, if somebody was a kind person,
- 12:35Speaker 4: they were a good person. We go, hey, they were
- 12:37Speaker 4: a salt of the earth type person. And that's that's great.
- 12:41Speaker 4: And I like to tell people, you know, I hope
- 12:43Speaker 4: you're not a jerk. I hope you hold the door
- 12:46Speaker 4: at the store for somebody. You know, if you're on
- 12:48Speaker 4: a plane, I hope you help somebody elderly get their
- 12:51Speaker 4: bag up in the overhead. Like, you know, I believe
- 12:54Speaker 4: in being nice. But when Jesus says you are the
- 12:57Speaker 4: salt of the earth, first of all, it's not even
- 12:59Speaker 4: a it's not even it's not an individual thing. Obviously,
- 13:04Speaker 4: it applies to all of us. But when he says
- 13:07Speaker 4: you in the in the Greek, it's a it's a
- 13:09Speaker 4: plural you. I grew up in Arkansas. So, you know,
- 13:13Speaker 4: if there was a southern translation of the Bible, it
- 13:16Speaker 4: would translate it. Y'all are the salt of the earth here.
- 13:19Speaker 4: If you're from the north, it would be you guys
- 13:22Speaker 4: are the salt of the earth. And we get that
- 13:25Speaker 4: because context matters. And when we read the Bible, we
- 13:29Speaker 4: have to understand the context of what Jesus is talking about.
- 13:32Speaker 4: And then he follows it up with another illustration just
- 13:35Speaker 4: to help us understand. He goes, hey, you're a city
- 13:37Speaker 4: on a hill. And he doesn't say you're an individual
- 13:40Speaker 4: home on a hill. You're not an apartment on the hill.
- 13:42Speaker 4: He's like, so he's talking about something that is bigger
- 13:46Speaker 4: than individual behavior. What he's saying when he says you
- 13:50Speaker 4: are the salt of the earth, which I think this applies.
- 13:53Speaker 4: So it connects so well with this segment of like, how,
- 13:56Speaker 4: how shall we live? Like how, how shouldn't Christianity be
- 13:59Speaker 4: a part of society? When Jesus says you are the
- 14:03Speaker 4: salt of the earth, he was, to influence every part
- 14:09Speaker 4: of society, that there was this influence that would take
- 14:13Speaker 4: place when Christians lived out the true meaning of Christianity.
- 14:17Speaker 4: We lived out the morals of Christianity. And so you
- 14:20Speaker 4: are the salt of the earth is a much bigger
- 14:23Speaker 4: statement than just, hey, be a nice person, be a
- 14:26Speaker 4: good person. And again, I hope you are. What he's
- 14:29Speaker 4: saying is that the morals of the values and the
- 14:32Speaker 4: truths of Christianity were intended to influence the world that
- 14:38Speaker 4: we live in. And you contrast that with a culture
- 14:42Speaker 4: that has taught the church to be silent. It's told
- 14:45Speaker 4: pastors not to speak out on certain things. It's told
- 14:48Speaker 4: the church kind of to stay in the four walls
- 14:50Speaker 4: of the church. And I just believe the vision of
- 14:52Speaker 4: Jesus for Christianity was so individual personal faith, I believe
- 15:01Speaker 4: that Jesus intended Christianity to have power in the public square.
- 15:06Speaker 4: And it was, you know, Jesus chose salt because it was,
- 15:10Speaker 4: it was one of their main things. Like they, they
- 15:13Speaker 4: didn't have frigidaires and whirlpool refrigerators. They didn't even have
- 15:16Speaker 4: kitchens as we know it. And so without, without salt,
- 15:21Speaker 4: it was, it was a much different deal. And so
- 15:25Speaker 4: salt was one of the main things that they use.
- 15:29Speaker 4: One is it added flavor. You know, Job has this
- 15:31Speaker 4: funny verse. It's like, who wants to eat an egg
- 15:34Speaker 4: without salt? And I'm like, amen, Job. I like, I
- 15:37Speaker 4: like that verse, you know? So when you talk about salt,
- 15:41Speaker 4: one is it obviously brings flavor to food. And I like,
- 15:46Speaker 4: there is this There is this flavor of Christianity that
- 15:51Speaker 4: has to get added to the world because humanity without
- 15:56Speaker 4: Christianity loses its humanity. And we see it happening. Like
- 16:01Speaker 4: people are losing their identity. Like my heart hurts for
- 16:04Speaker 4: so many young people. Parents are wondering why they're sending
- 16:07Speaker 4: their kids off to school for hours a day to
- 16:09Speaker 4: learn and they're coming back dumber than when they sent them.
- 16:13Speaker 4: And it's like when prayer was taken out of school,
- 16:16Speaker 4: when Bible was taken out of school, when the influence
- 16:18Speaker 4: of Christianity was removed, other things start coming. into it.
- 16:23Speaker 4: And then the second part of salt that Jesus gave
- 16:26Speaker 4: us was, was how they preserve food. It's, it's a
- 16:29Speaker 4: fascinating study because, you know, they couldn't preserve food in
- 16:33Speaker 4: a refrigerator, they couldn't keep it fresh. And so, and,
- 16:36Speaker 4: and they were scarce, like they, they were wondering where
- 16:39Speaker 4: their next meal was going to come from. They didn't
- 16:40Speaker 4: have a grocery store on every corner and a place
- 16:42Speaker 4: to go buy food. And so like, it was, you know,
- 16:47Speaker 4: salt was what kept fish from going a shelf life
- 16:52Speaker 4: of maybe an hour if it was properly preserved it
- 16:56Speaker 4: could last up to a year and when he's when
- 16:59Speaker 4: he's using this ideology and i and i hope people
- 17:03Speaker 4: understand this was salt was what's kept something from decaying
- 17:07Speaker 4: And what we're watching in our world today, and there
- 17:10Speaker 4: have been so many people confused what Christianity is, which
- 17:14Speaker 4: is why I go into the recipes in the book
- 17:17Speaker 4: of what historical biblical Christianity has been for 2,000 years.
- 17:23Speaker 4: If Christians don't get engaged in politics, if we don't
- 17:26Speaker 4: get engaged in culture, if we don't get engaged in education.
- 17:30Speaker 4: And then I hope this book like inspire some people
- 17:33Speaker 4: to get involved in their kids schools, get back on
- 17:36Speaker 4: city councils, man, run, run for your HOA. I don't
- 17:39Speaker 4: want to be a part of my HOA, but I
- 17:41Speaker 4: pray God calls somebody else to be a part of
- 17:42Speaker 4: an HOA. Be a part of every like go coach
- 17:47Speaker 4: sports again and bring because without Christianity, the world quickly decays.
- 17:53Speaker 4: Like there is a decay that happens and we need
- 17:56Speaker 4: to understand the power and the influence of not just
- 17:59Speaker 4: being a kind person, not just being a good person,
- 18:01Speaker 4: not just being a compassionate person. But recognize when Jesus
- 18:05Speaker 4: said we're the salt of the earth, he's like, hey,
- 18:07Speaker 4: you have to bring the morals. You've got to bring
- 18:10Speaker 4: the values. You've got to bring the truth. And I
- 18:13Speaker 4: think doctrine matters, like right doctrine, believing what God has
- 18:16Speaker 4: taught us to how to live out the world. Like
- 18:19Speaker 4: we bring all of that. And if Christians don't set
- 18:24Speaker 4: the table, then other ideologies creep in. And there's this
- 18:28Speaker 4: ideology today, like we bring the kingdom of God, like
- 18:33Speaker 4: wherever we go, whatever we're a part of, our beliefs,
- 18:36Speaker 4: our values, our morals, the way that we believe, like
- 18:40Speaker 4: we bring the kingdom of God to the earth. And
- 18:43Speaker 4: we live in this the way the Bible describes it
- 18:46Speaker 4: in this already, but not yet. So there is a
- 18:48Speaker 4: day that the fullness of the kingdom of God will
- 18:50Speaker 4: come on the earth. Jesus Christ will be king of
- 18:53Speaker 4: kings and Lord of lords. And every knee will bow
- 18:55Speaker 4: and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord to
- 18:58Speaker 4: the glory of God the Father. But today, the way
- 19:01Speaker 4: the kingdom of God comes on the earth is through
- 19:04Speaker 4: Christians living out the values of God's kingdom rule. And,
- 19:08Speaker 4: you know, there's a there's a big difference because people
- 19:11Speaker 4: are trying like there's this big push to bring a
- 19:14Speaker 4: utopia through politics, through communism, through socialism, through Marxism, through
- 19:21Speaker 4: all of these different things, like all of these political
- 19:24Speaker 4: and social and cultural strategies. And we see it gaining
- 19:28Speaker 4: so much prominence. Like I think it was I read
- 19:31Speaker 4: a stat the other day that 60 percent of people
- 19:33Speaker 4: who were in the Democrat Party are in favor of socialism.
- 19:37Speaker 4: And it's like it's not difficult to see that when
- 19:40Speaker 4: Christianity is removed from the public square, from people's political ideology,
- 19:44Speaker 4: from people's worldview, it's not difficult to see how culture
- 19:50Speaker 4: begins to trend towards decay. And my heart with this
- 19:54Speaker 4: book is that people would recognize the power of individual
- 19:58Speaker 4: Christians bringing the salt of God's... truth and his values
- 20:04Speaker 4: and his morals into every segment of society, because we
- 20:08Speaker 4: will never create a utopia without God.
- 20:11Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 20:12Speaker 3: Jason, such a great discussion starter for the week. And
- 20:16Speaker 3: we're just getting started. Literally God's cookbook, recovering the flavor
- 20:20Speaker 3: of faith in a saltless age. It's available everywhere. Follow
- 20:24Speaker 3: Jason on Instagram because that's a great place to also
- 20:28Speaker 3: see the book and what he has going on there.
- 20:30Speaker 3: And Jason, I can't wait until We pick up tomorrow's
- 20:33Speaker 3: discussion on this. Thank you for getting us thinking down
- 20:36Speaker 3: the right path today.
- 20:38Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Great to be with you.
- 20:39Speaker 3: You got it. Jason Worman, again, the book, God's Cookbook,
- 20:43Speaker 3: Recovering the Flavor of Faith in a Saltless Age. Kevin
- 20:46Speaker 3: McCullough coming right back. It's a big Monday, even though
- 20:49Speaker 3: it's a holiday. Stay with us.
- 20:51Speaker 8: Stick around for more of That Kevin.
- 21:12Speaker 9: Here he is from New York, that Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 21:17Speaker 8: Welcome back.
- 21:19Speaker 3: It is the time of year where we get to
- 21:21Speaker 3: say Merry Christmas. What? To someone who is going to
- 21:26Speaker 3: have a wonderful Christmas this year because of Christian Solidarity International,
- 21:32Speaker 3: because of you, because of us doing this together, because
- 21:35Speaker 3: of God working in people's hearts, because of God making
- 21:38Speaker 3: a way for all of it to happen. A woman
- 21:41Speaker 3: is going to receive the best Christmas present she's ever
- 21:43Speaker 3: received as a Christian who's not been allowed to practice
- 21:46Speaker 3: her worship of Jesus Christ in most of the last
- 21:50Speaker 3: few years. We're talking about enslaved women primarily in northern
- 21:55Speaker 3: Sudan who were taken as a spoil of war. You know,
- 21:59Speaker 3: when they go in and they kill everything and they
- 22:01Speaker 3: knock everything over, they take the women as slaves. They
- 22:04Speaker 3: take them as personal possessions. And these women have been
- 22:07Speaker 3: mistreated badly for the last 15 to 20 to 30 years,
- 22:10Speaker 3: depending on how old they are. And Todd Chapman is
- 22:12Speaker 3: back with us from Christian Solidarity International to tell us
- 22:15Speaker 3: about it. And Todd, these stories, and I've read just
- 22:18Speaker 3: like you, I've read hundreds of them over the last 10,
- 22:21Speaker 3: 15 years that we've done this. But I never allow
- 22:25Speaker 3: myself to get desensitized to the amount of pain that
- 22:28Speaker 3: they go through because every one of them is a
- 22:30Speaker 3: person and every one of them has been treated with
- 22:33Speaker 3: pretty horrific circumstances. But there's a story about a young
- 22:37Speaker 3: woman named Adut that you have. And it's interesting. Sudanese
- 22:40Speaker 3: names sound a little different to our Western ears. But
- 22:43Speaker 3: this woman's name was Adut. What happened to her?
- 22:46Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 22:46Speaker 7: So when she was seven years of age, she was
- 22:48Speaker 7: abducted during that civil war, during that conflict when, you know.
- 22:53Speaker 7: Militants were allowed to go in and raid Christian villages.
- 22:57Speaker 7: And she and her mother were they were just walking
- 23:01Speaker 7: on their way home back from someplace to their home.
- 23:03Speaker 7: And they found them along the path and they abducted them.
- 23:06Speaker 7: And so they were taken into North Sudan. It was
- 23:10Speaker 7: separated from her mom. I don't know what happened to
- 23:12Speaker 7: her mom. She doesn't seem to even know what happened
- 23:14Speaker 7: to her mom. But she was put to work seven
- 23:16Speaker 7: years of age, put to work cleaning. washing clothes, gathering firewood,
- 23:21Speaker 7: just anything that needed to be done around her slave's
- 23:24Speaker 7: master's home. That's what she did. And she was also,
- 23:27Speaker 7: you know, at seven years of age, raised in a
- 23:29Speaker 7: Christian family, in a Christian village. She was also began
- 23:33Speaker 7: to be abused in every way you can imagine. And
- 23:36Speaker 7: she was forced to abandon practicing her Christian faith. And,
- 23:41Speaker 7: you know, they said, you're going to convert to Islam.
- 23:44Speaker 7: So she even lost her faith. Now, the interesting thing is, though,
- 23:48Speaker 7: and they do that to pretty much all these slaves,
- 23:50Speaker 7: but so many of them keep it tucked inside.
- 23:53Speaker 5: Right.
- 23:53Speaker 7: They're like, OK, well, maybe you say I can't pray
- 23:56Speaker 7: and I have to, you know, acknowledge another God, your God.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Not my God. Yeah.
- 24:02Speaker 7: And so they keep praying and praying for deliverance.
- 24:06Speaker 4: After 23 years, 23 years.
- 24:10Speaker 7: Adut is 30 years old now and finally was rescued
- 24:14Speaker 7: by one of our slave retrievers, found her at a market,
- 24:18Speaker 7: began to converse with her. you know, confirmed that she
- 24:21Speaker 7: was indeed a slave and said, do you, I can
- 24:24Speaker 7: help get you free.
- 24:25Speaker 4: Would you be willing to come with me? And she said, yes.
- 24:27Speaker 7: And she's now back in South Sudan and she's making
- 24:29Speaker 7: a new life empowered by your compassion, your generosity and
- 24:33Speaker 7: the bag of folk and the goat that you provide
- 24:36Speaker 7: when you give a gift of $ 250. What a beautiful, man,
- 24:40Speaker 7: what a beautiful picture of God's deliverance grace, right? I mean,
- 24:43Speaker 7: if you look at the Bible, the Bible is just
- 24:46Speaker 7: one big giant rescue story. with a lot of rescue
- 24:49Speaker 7: stories contained within it. And we're supposed to continue that story. Slavery, friends,
- 24:54Speaker 7: is not dead. It is actually more vibrant in various
- 24:57Speaker 7: forms than ever before globally. And it is just incumbent, Kevin,
- 25:01Speaker 7: upon God's people to, number one, be aware of opportunities
- 25:04Speaker 7: to free slaves, whether it's Sudan or Pakistan or Nigeria
- 25:08Speaker 7: or multiple countries in Africa. Slavery everywhere. And we can
- 25:12Speaker 7: do something about it. You just need to, number one,
- 25:14Speaker 7: be aware it's a problem and then say, God, what
- 25:17Speaker 7: would you have me do? I cannot imagine if it
- 25:19Speaker 7: were me or my child or my grandchild that was
- 25:22Speaker 7: abducted and taken to another country and abused in every way.
- 25:27Speaker 7: Most of us would stop at nothing. We're at our
- 25:28Speaker 7: family member. Well, look, all we have to do is
- 25:31Speaker 7: give money. You don't have to go to Sudan. You
- 25:33Speaker 7: don't have to get on a plane. You don't have
- 25:35Speaker 7: to risk yourself at all. CSI is doing all of that.
- 25:38Speaker 7: But we need God's people to step in and empower
- 25:41Speaker 7: God's liberation of these precious people.
- 25:44Speaker 3: And I just want to say, 888-342-1010, I just want
- 25:48Speaker 3: to say that because of you, those of you listening
- 25:51Speaker 3: to this show, again, from Anchorage, Alaska to Miami, from
- 25:55Speaker 3: San Diego up to Kennebuckport, like everywhere in between, there's
- 25:59Speaker 3: like 400 cities that are hearing us right now. Because
- 26:02Speaker 3: of you, over the last several years, nearly 4,000 people, women,
- 26:08Speaker 3: sometimes their children with them, have been given the freedom
- 26:11Speaker 3: to of liberation and finding life, starting over again, getting
- 26:15Speaker 3: a brand new lease on life, if you will. And
- 26:18Speaker 3: that touches me friends, because that's a lot of human
- 26:20Speaker 3: lives that we've, we've had impact with. And in fact,
- 26:24Speaker 3: just around the corner, there's going to be another liberation.
- 26:26Speaker 3: We can't talk about details. We're not allowed to tell
- 26:29Speaker 3: you when it's going to happen or anything like that,
- 26:31Speaker 3: but I can rejoice after it does. I can tell
- 26:34Speaker 3: you all about it and we'll be able to tell
- 26:36Speaker 3: you that your gifts help make some of that take place.
- 26:39Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, Just know that
- 26:42Speaker 3: there are hundreds more, thousands more that have not yet
- 26:45Speaker 3: been liberated. And maybe you're one of those people that said, Kev,
- 26:50Speaker 3: I'm very burdened by this. How can I do something
- 26:53Speaker 3: that really impacts it? Well, a gift of $ 25, 000 would liberate,
- 27:00Speaker 3: what is that, 100 slaves? Yeah, 100 slaves. So that
- 27:04Speaker 3: would be, in essence, an amazing, huge impact right away.
- 27:09Speaker 3: into the life of these slaves. But maybe you could
- 27:12Speaker 3: do $ 10 at $ 2, 500. Maybe you could do one a
- 27:16Speaker 3: month at $ 250 a month and over the course of
- 27:19Speaker 3: the year liberate $ 12. Maybe you can do $ 25 a
- 27:23Speaker 3: month and liberate a slave in the next year. Whatever
- 27:26Speaker 3: God puts on your heart, He certainly is big enough
- 27:29Speaker 3: to be able to help you to achieve it. So
- 27:31Speaker 3: follow His leading and do what He says because I
- 27:34Speaker 3: know that there will be a wonderful result at the
- 27:37Speaker 3: other end. Thank you for considering it. Thank you for
- 27:41Speaker 3: doing it. 888-342-1010, 888-342-1010. You can also do it online
- 27:45Speaker 3: at thatkevinshow.com. Just click the CSI banner, thatkevinshow.com or 888-342-1010, 888-342-1010.
- 28:12Speaker 8: Here he is, from New York, That Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 28:19Speaker 3: All right, welcome on Columbus Day. It's That Kevin Show, thatkevinshow.com,
- 28:25Speaker 3: and it is still a money Monday as we're looking
- 28:28Speaker 3: at the ways to help you protect and preserve and
- 28:31Speaker 3: extend your legacy. You work too hard for what you
- 28:34Speaker 3: bring in to just let it flop around or just
- 28:36Speaker 3: get away from you. And so we want to give
- 28:38Speaker 3: you some really sound advice on how to be a
- 28:42Speaker 3: good steward of that. And David Fisher is back with
- 28:44Speaker 3: us from Landmark Capital. David, the Treasury Secretary this last
- 28:50Speaker 3: week has hired a couple of individuals that I've never
- 28:54Speaker 3: heard of before. And David Servos and Judy Shelton. What
- 29:00Speaker 3: do we know about these people? What is their job?
- 29:03Speaker 3: Who are they? Help us understand what their role is.
- 29:06Speaker 5: This piggybacks what we talked about last week where Jeffrey Dunlop,
- 29:10Speaker 5: who knows more about treasuries than anyone else, said they
- 29:13Speaker 5: were headed towards an insolvency or a collapse in the
- 29:17Speaker 5: treasury market. And, you know, he's the bond king. So
- 29:20Speaker 5: I think the treasury is doing something about it. And
- 29:23Speaker 5: that's why they hired David Zervos here. And Judy Shelton,
- 29:26Speaker 5: let's start with David. The Treasury on September 28th hired
- 29:30Speaker 5: him as a counselor to Scott Besant, the Treasury Secretary.
- 29:35Speaker 4: So he's going to advise Scott.
- 29:38Speaker 10: On things like.
- 29:40Speaker 5: Working with major hedge funds because he's– first of all,
- 29:45Speaker 5: his background, he was– worked in the early 90s at
- 29:49Speaker 5: the Federal Reserve, and then also in 2009 in the
- 29:52Speaker 5: aftermath of the whole 2008 at the Fed. So he
- 29:55Speaker 5: knows markets really well. He's a 35-year Wall Street veteran.
- 29:59Speaker 5: He's an economist. He worked for UBS. He was the
- 30:02Speaker 5: former chief market strategist at Jefferies. That's the same firm
- 30:08Speaker 5: that last week one of their advisors, Christopher Woods, said
- 30:11Speaker 5: gold is going to $ 10, 000. So he brings a critical
- 30:16Speaker 5: element to the treasury because his forte is working with
- 30:21Speaker 5: money managers, banks, sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds, and pensions.
- 30:26Speaker 5: And ironically, Kevin- Those are all the entities that are
- 30:30Speaker 5: massively selling treasuries and buying gold at the fastest rate.
- 30:34Speaker 5: So I think he's being brought on to kind of
- 30:37Speaker 5: intervene in that, try and slow that trend down. It's
- 30:41Speaker 5: not going to change it because Morgan Stanley just said
- 30:45Speaker 5: that hedge fund capital is now 20% has moved out
- 30:51Speaker 5: of treasuries this year. So this is the trend in
- 30:55Speaker 5: one of the largest pension funds. is now the largest
- 30:59Speaker 5: seller of treasuries and one of the largest buyers of gold.
- 31:02Speaker 5: So this is the trend. This is why I think
- 31:05Speaker 5: they hired David Zorvos. Now let's get to Judy Shelton. Boy,
- 31:11Speaker 5: is this an eye-opener. She's an economist. She was appointed
- 31:16Speaker 5: also as a counselor at the Treasury to Secretary Scott Bassett.
- 31:23Speaker 5: He invited her to his office a week ago And
- 31:28Speaker 5: the announcement was made last Friday. What's the significance of this? Well, previously,
- 31:37Speaker 5: she was part of Donald Trump's advocate and suggested to
- 31:43Speaker 5: President Trump that we return to a gold standard. In fact,
- 31:47Speaker 5: President Trump announced her as the nominee for the Fed
- 31:52Speaker 5: way back in 2019 in July. Actually, she didn't get
- 31:56Speaker 5: that because they don't like The Senate voted they don't
- 31:59Speaker 5: like her being backing the currency by gold. Well, that
- 32:02Speaker 5: didn't make her give up. She just went on from there.
- 32:06Speaker 5: She wrote a book in 2024, Good as Gold, How
- 32:09Speaker 5: to Unleash the Power of Sound Money. And in that book,
- 32:13Speaker 5: she is an advocate on the Treasury developing a 50-year
- 32:19Speaker 5: Treasury backed by gold. And in 2025, she wrote an
- 32:24Speaker 5: essay in the Wall Street Journal that urged Washington to
- 32:28Speaker 5: back the currency by gold.
- 32:30Speaker 4: So let's connect those.
- 32:31Speaker 5: The significance of bringing these two people on is either
- 32:36Speaker 5: fix the situation or back the currency by gold or
- 32:39Speaker 5: maybe both.
- 32:40Speaker 3: Well, and eventually getting there would be the ultimate right
- 32:45Speaker 3: thing to do, no?
- 32:46Speaker 5: No.
- 32:46Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 32:47Speaker 5: And I think it's not if we will do it.
- 32:49Speaker 5: I think we might be forced to do both of those,
- 32:53Speaker 5: try and rein in our debt, but also and maybe
- 32:55Speaker 5: cause inflation. But I think they're going to back the
- 32:57Speaker 5: currency by gold because last.
- 32:59Speaker 3: Week I mentioned– Well, the president said in 24 that
- 33:02Speaker 3: he was– or in 25 that he was– no, in
- 33:04Speaker 3: the 24 campaign, he said he was campaigning on that,
- 33:08Speaker 3: that he believed that we should have a gold-backed currency.
- 33:11Speaker 3: So this has been his established desire for a long time.
- 33:15Speaker 5: Yeah, President Trump made gold a critical mineral back in 2025.
- 33:21Speaker 5: Scott Besant wants to revalue all the gold of the
- 33:24Speaker 5: United States to a trillion dollars.
- 33:26Speaker 3: This would bring in a whole bunch of revenue.
- 33:28Speaker 5: So China, I think there's a race, Kevin, between who's
- 33:31Speaker 5: going to get there first. Either China, they're buying the
- 33:34Speaker 5: most amount of gold ever in history, or is it
- 33:37Speaker 5: the United States that's going to get there? And I
- 33:38Speaker 5: don't think President Trump wants to play second fiddle. If
- 33:41Speaker 5: we don't do it and we continue down this road,
- 33:45Speaker 5: other people are now chiming in. Ed Yardini, he's a
- 33:48Speaker 5: very strong economist. He said just last week that the
- 33:52Speaker 5: 10-year Treasury, when it hits 6%, it could cause real
- 33:55Speaker 5: cracks everywhere. in the financial system. And of course, we
- 33:59Speaker 5: know Ray Dalio, he studies history on currencies. He's predicting
- 34:03Speaker 5: that there's going to be a debt crisis within the
- 34:06Speaker 5: next three years. So they got to do something. And
- 34:10Speaker 5: even President Trump's former campaign advisor is warning a bond
- 34:15Speaker 5: market crash indicator is now similar to 2008. So if
- 34:18Speaker 5: we move this direction, I think the fix is backing
- 34:22Speaker 5: the currency by gold. We certainly have a lot of
- 34:25Speaker 5: central banks buying gold. There's a movement in gold and silver.
- 34:29Speaker 5: Don't miss out on it. Call my company and learn
- 34:31Speaker 5: all about that.
- 34:32Speaker 3: Well, and I want to just say this. If it's
- 34:34Speaker 3: smart for the central bank and for the U.S. Treasury
- 34:37Speaker 3: to do this, why would it not be smart for you,
- 34:41Speaker 3: listening friend, to do at least a part of it?
- 34:44Speaker 3: And that's why David's very unique. offer of helping you
- 34:48Speaker 3: back at least a portion of your 401k or IRA
- 34:51Speaker 3: with gold and silver is a no-brainer because you'll be
- 34:54Speaker 3: mimicking the same behavior that the central bank and that
- 34:58Speaker 3: the national treasury is doing in buying gold and backing
- 35:02Speaker 3: your assets with that. And I've said this many times,
- 35:06Speaker 3: David is the guy that I've purchased all my gold
- 35:08Speaker 3: through over the years. He's a man of high integrity
- 35:11Speaker 3: and I think you're going to love dealing with him
- 35:13Speaker 3: because he really does specialize in education. But Here's the
- 35:16Speaker 3: phone number to call him today, 844-604-2575, 844-604-2575. You can
- 35:24Speaker 3: also visit his brand new website, landmarkgold.com. It's got a
- 35:28Speaker 3: lot of great information on it. You can make an
- 35:30Speaker 3: appointment through that as well. But I would encourage you
- 35:32Speaker 3: to talk to him because then you have even more
- 35:35Speaker 3: of the personal relationship. 844-604-2575. 844-604-2575. David Fisher, as always,
- 35:44Speaker 3: thank you so much.
- 35:45Speaker 4: Thank you, Kevin.
- 35:46Speaker 3: Coming right back. It's Money Monday. Stay here.
- 35:48Speaker 11: Stick around for more of That Kevin.
- 35:54Speaker 5: Next.
- 36:04Speaker 8: Serving it up with a no-drink minnow. It's that Kevin
- 36:10Speaker 8: Mac show.
- 36:10Speaker 3: All right, Kevin McCullough, glad to have you with us.
- 36:13Speaker 3: Final few thoughts for this period of time together, friends,
- 36:17Speaker 3: about Christian Solidarity International and why it's so important. Look,
- 36:21Speaker 3: I'm never going to apologize for asking you to give
- 36:24Speaker 3: to great causes. I have told you that from the beginning.
- 36:27Speaker 3: This is part of my expression of gratitude back to
- 36:30Speaker 3: God for the honor and the privilege and the humble
- 36:34Speaker 3: coolness that it is to get to do what I
- 36:35Speaker 3: do for a living every day. And it wouldn't be
- 36:38Speaker 3: possible had he not said, this is what I'm calling
- 36:40Speaker 3: you to. But because of that, I want to use
- 36:42Speaker 3: a portion of this platform every single day for his
- 36:45Speaker 3: glory and to do things that advance his kingdom. And
- 36:48Speaker 3: Todd Chapman is back with us from Christian Solidarity International.
- 36:51Speaker 3: And Todd, as I have had the chance to not
- 36:55Speaker 3: just advocate for CSI on the air over the years,
- 36:58Speaker 3: But to get to know the organization and to see
- 37:00Speaker 3: how it operates and to understand the biblical efficiency with
- 37:04Speaker 3: which they take their stewardship and the extreme care that
- 37:08Speaker 3: is taken with every gift that is given and the
- 37:11Speaker 3: integrity behind all of that, I have to say, not
- 37:14Speaker 3: only are they doing incredible things, they're one of the
- 37:16Speaker 3: best organizations I've ever had the chance to be part of.
- 37:19Speaker 3: And that's why I continue to sing their praises long
- 37:22Speaker 3: after we're not on the air anymore. Like, this is
- 37:24Speaker 3: one of my passion organizations today. that I really, really
- 37:28Speaker 3: mean it when I say this. I believe that they
- 37:30Speaker 3: are doing God's work in every aspect.
- 37:32Speaker 7: Yeah, I kind of feel like it's David against Goliath
- 37:36Speaker 7: in a lot of ways. We're not a big organization.
- 37:40Speaker 7: Many people have never heard of us. Every time we
- 37:42Speaker 7: do a radio campaign, and you may be hearing about CSI,
- 37:46Speaker 7: Christian Solidarity International, for the very first time. But man,
- 37:51Speaker 7: just because, you know, God has just blessed us. And
- 37:54Speaker 7: that's because we're just committed to doing what he says
- 37:57Speaker 7: in his word, which is to set captives free and
- 37:59Speaker 7: inviting other people to do that. And so over the past.
- 38:02Speaker 7: You know, 30 plus years over, get this friends, over,
- 38:05Speaker 7: and this is not me boasting on CSI, this is
- 38:08Speaker 7: me boasting on God and boasting on our generous donors
- 38:11Speaker 7: that have made this possible. Over 160,000 human beings freed
- 38:17Speaker 7: from captivity, yes, but also the worst possible abuse that
- 38:21Speaker 7: you could imagine. Verbal, physical, psychological, sexual. I mean, any
- 38:26Speaker 7: form of abuse that a human being can endure, these
- 38:28Speaker 7: slaves have been subjected to that. And it's gone on
- 38:32Speaker 7: for decades. And also children now have been born into that.
- 38:35Speaker 7: And I'm really excited about that because if you free
- 38:38Speaker 7: a mom right now, more than ever before, we've been
- 38:40Speaker 7: able to negotiate not just the freedom of the mom,
- 38:42Speaker 7: but the freedom of a child. So for $ 250... Man,
- 38:46Speaker 7: you can liberate two human beings, one that has already
- 38:49Speaker 7: endured decades of abuse, but one that if we don't
- 38:52Speaker 7: get them free, we'll also suffer that. Yeah, we're preventing that.
- 38:57Speaker 7: So it's so beautiful. I just wanted to real quickly
- 38:59Speaker 7: give you a little encouragement. I'm looking at Isaiah 61.1.
- 39:02Speaker 7: And what you're invited to do right now checks every
- 39:05Speaker 7: box in this verse.
- 39:06Speaker 8: Check this out.
- 39:07Speaker 7: The Spirit of the Lord God is on me because
- 39:09Speaker 7: the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to
- 39:11Speaker 7: the afflicted. Check. Sent me to bind up the brokenhearted.
- 39:15Speaker 10: Check.
- 39:16Speaker 7: To proclaim liberty to the captives, check. And freedom to prisoners, check.
- 39:21Speaker 7: You can check four beautiful biblical opportunities right there with
- 39:25Speaker 7: your gift right now. $ 250, you set a captive free.
- 39:29Speaker 7: You equip them to step into a new life and freedom.
- 39:32Speaker 7: And man, hands going up in heaven for every gift
- 39:35Speaker 7: that you give, because that's another human being freed.
- 39:39Speaker 3: 888-342-1010 is the number where that takes place. 888-342-1010. And
- 39:44Speaker 3: you may be saying, well, Kev, why wouldn't they liberate
- 39:46Speaker 3: the kids if the moms are being liberated? Well, The
- 39:49Speaker 3: slave master views that child who he impregnated the slave
- 39:54Speaker 3: with as his property too. Kind of theirs, yeah. And
- 39:57Speaker 3: so the idea that we're able to talk him out
- 40:00Speaker 3: of a future generation of a slave, which if it's
- 40:03Speaker 3: a young boy is a very valuable thing to his calculations,
- 40:07Speaker 3: is a God thing. Because it saves every one of
- 40:09Speaker 3: those kids from that horrific future themselves.
- 40:12Speaker 5: 888-342-1010. 888-342-1010.

- 42:34Speaker 3: Even if you're listening on the podcast, we appreciate wherever
- 42:36Speaker 3: you come into contact with us at. All right, so
- 42:38Speaker 3: I had an interesting thing happen this weekend where the
- 42:42Speaker 3: family and I did an evening event in the city.
- 42:47Speaker 3: We don't always take the kids into the city, particularly
- 42:51Speaker 3: in the evening. We do a lot of daytime things.
- 42:54Speaker 3: But the St. Patrick's Cathedral was hosting this presentation called Luminescence.
- 42:59Speaker 3: It's this beautiful, beautiful light and sound event. adaptation of
- 43:04Speaker 3: the history of New York and its connection to St.
- 43:06Speaker 3: Patrick's and everything that that means. And I'm not Catholic,
- 43:09Speaker 3: but I still very much appreciated everything that the presentation showed.
- 43:13Speaker 3: Jonathan Rumi, who's the actor who plays Jesus in The Chosen,
- 43:16Speaker 3: was the guy who narrated it. They had a live
- 43:18Speaker 3: orchestra and choir. It was really a beautiful night. But
- 43:21Speaker 3: in order to be there, we had dinner in Times
- 43:24Speaker 3: Square and we walked the six blocks to the cathedral
- 43:27Speaker 3: and then we walked five blocks back to where we
- 43:30Speaker 3: were parked. And in the process of all of that,
- 43:32Speaker 3: some interesting things happened. Here to discuss is Jacqueline Toberoff.
- 43:35Speaker 3: You see her on Newsmax and all sorts of places.
- 43:39Speaker 3: She's got a sub stack. I follow her on Instagram.
- 43:41Speaker 3: If you're not following her on Instagram, you're missing out
- 43:43Speaker 3: because that's where her best stuff is. And from there,
- 43:45Speaker 3: you can get to everything else. But Jacqueline, it's always
- 43:47Speaker 3: great to have you. Thanks for being back. You and
- 43:50Speaker 3: I were actually DMing after I got home from this
- 43:53Speaker 3: event and you had been out in the city that
- 43:56Speaker 3: same night and you had captured a wedding couple where
- 44:00Speaker 3: the bagpipes were playing behind them, blowing as they were
- 44:02Speaker 3: walking down the street. And you were like, this is
- 44:04Speaker 3: my favorite couple on earth. And I was like, I
- 44:06Speaker 3: didn't see their faces. So I thought maybe it was
- 44:07Speaker 3: a celebrity couple or friends or something that we knew.
- 44:10Speaker 3: And I said, well, who is it? And you were like, well,
- 44:13Speaker 3: I didn't know him. That's kind of the point. But
- 44:15Speaker 3: it was different than what you've come to expect in
- 44:18Speaker 3: your city of recent weeks.
- 44:20Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 44:20Speaker 12: Listen, every day in New York City, there is an Islamist,
- 44:26Speaker 12: you know, riot or parade or celebration, whether they're celebrating
- 44:32Speaker 12: some horrific day that many people were killed or whatever
- 44:36Speaker 12: it is.
- 44:36Speaker 3: Well, Saturday night, there was something loud in Times Square.
- 44:39Speaker 3: I didn't know what they were talking about. I didn't
- 44:40Speaker 3: understand a word of it coming out, but Times Square
- 44:43Speaker 3: was packed and it caused some anxiety to my daughter
- 44:47Speaker 3: and bride and some of my kids.
- 44:49Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing.
- 44:50Speaker 12: New York City is just fraught with anxiety and New Yorkers,
- 44:54Speaker 12: quite frankly, are fraught with anxiety. Because frequently when we leave,
- 44:57Speaker 12: whether it's walking down the street or taking a subway,
- 45:00Speaker 12: you see kafias, you see signs of people or people
- 45:05Speaker 12: chanting from the river to the sea. Globalize the Antifada
- 45:08Speaker 12: as you're stuck in a subway or as you are
- 45:11Speaker 12: trying to get from one street, one block to the next.
- 45:14Speaker 12: So I was going out to see a movie. And
- 45:18Speaker 12: I saw the most beautiful thing. I saw this couple
- 45:20Speaker 12: that had just gotten married and these bagpipes and this
- 45:25Speaker 12: procession behind them. And it was beautiful and it seemed
- 45:28Speaker 12: traditional and wholesome and.
- 45:32Speaker 1: It was contained and it was clean.
- 45:35Speaker 12: And rather than chanting something about death and conquest, it
- 45:40Speaker 12: was this beautiful moment. And really, I couldn't believe it.
- 45:45Speaker 12: It just had such a profound impact on me.
- 45:48Speaker 3: It warmed your heart for sure.
- 45:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:50Speaker 3: Well, then you and I were talking about how the
- 45:52Speaker 3: city has changed over the last couple of years. And
- 45:55Speaker 3: I'm a big ambassador for New York. I want people
- 45:58Speaker 3: to come to our city. I do think it's still
- 46:00Speaker 3: very safe. But it will not stay safe in a
- 46:04Speaker 3: static situation if people that are concerned about things don't
- 46:08Speaker 3: speak up and say something about them. And I'm noticing
- 46:11Speaker 3: that it is changing significantly. I'm just curious, as a
- 46:14Speaker 3: mom yourself, you're in the city full time. We live
- 46:18Speaker 3: just outside the city proper and we go in a lot.
- 46:20Speaker 3: But you're in the city all the time. What would
- 46:24Speaker 3: you say has changed most in your experience in the
- 46:28Speaker 3: last two years?
- 46:29Speaker 12: So, I mean, first, I'm an independent journalist. I'm a reporter.
- 46:33Speaker 12: I research everything and I have eyes. And I can
- 46:37Speaker 12: tell you there has been a complete demographic shift. You
- 46:41Speaker 12: are seeing many more women in hijabs and Sharia compliant clothing.
- 46:46Speaker 1: You know, showing obedience.
- 46:49Speaker 3: I have noticed that.
- 46:50Speaker 5: Right.
- 46:50Speaker 1: It's all over in the subway, on the streets.
- 46:53Speaker 12: Halal carts, these mobile vending carts, they have spiked in numbers.
- 47:00Speaker 1: All throughout New York City. These are mobile vending carts
- 47:03Speaker 1: that used to be.
- 47:03Speaker 3: Because halal food's just gotten that much more popular?
- 47:07Speaker 12: Well, the Muslim population is amongst the highest demographic increase
- 47:12Speaker 12: into America and into New York City. Look, we have
- 47:17Speaker 12: an Al-Qaeda lawyer... as chief counsel to Zoran Mandani. We
- 47:22Speaker 12: are extremely friendly here in New York City to Islamists
- 47:30Speaker 12: and really Hamas supporters. And the demographic here in New
- 47:35Speaker 12: York City has changed. Activities, daily life in New York
- 47:40Speaker 12: City has changed. I mean, again, these are not parades.
- 47:42Speaker 12: These are riots and rallies chanting about death. and killing us,
- 47:48Speaker 12: and conquering us here in New York City, and quite frankly, America.
- 47:53Speaker 3: And this is why I wanted you to be here
- 47:55Speaker 3: to say this, because it's one thing for me to
- 47:57Speaker 3: say it, but women are exponentially disadvantaged most in Islamic society.
- 48:05Speaker 3: New York is in the battle for a new gubernatorial office,
- 48:11Speaker 3: and Kathy Hochul went to a prominent mosque in And
- 48:16Speaker 3: herself put on the hijab, was allowed to speak only
- 48:20Speaker 3: when she was spoken to. She was allowed to do
- 48:23Speaker 3: her thing. She did her thing and she left. But
- 48:26Speaker 3: she completely comported herself to the environment in which she
- 48:32Speaker 3: was at. Jacqueline, I feel like she would be one
- 48:36Speaker 3: of the first to surrender if there was a major
- 48:38Speaker 3: issue that challenged her.
- 48:41Speaker 12: Well, she has surrendered. But I also want to point
- 48:43Speaker 12: out she's not alone. AOC is another person who did this.
- 48:46Speaker 12: And I just want to compare AOC's multiple sides because
- 48:49Speaker 12: this is how.
- 48:49Speaker 1: They roll on the left.
- 48:51Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 48:51Speaker 3: Real quick. We got like one minute.
- 48:52Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 48:53Speaker 12: AOC got with Jamal Bowman and she acted, she pandered
- 48:58Speaker 12: to that crowd. She started cursing. She started twerking. She
- 49:01Speaker 12: started rapping. She was dressed in a completely different sort
- 49:05Speaker 12: of attire than when she went to the mosque, spoke
- 49:07Speaker 12: to an all male crowd, wore a hijab and was
- 49:10Speaker 12: extremely meek.
- 49:13Speaker 3: Deferential.
- 49:15Speaker 1: So it's it's it's completely we are getting gaslit. from
- 49:20Speaker 1: every side.
- 49:22Speaker 12: And the most difficult point is because the Islamist society
- 49:26Speaker 12: is so closed off, getting information is extremely difficult.
- 49:30Speaker 3: Well, friends, those of you that are hearing this show
- 49:32Speaker 3: in New York, particularly New York City, you have a
- 49:35Speaker 3: choice to make in November. And Bruce Blakeman is not
- 49:38Speaker 3: going to do the stuff that we just described Kathy
- 49:41Speaker 3: Hochul doing. And I don't care what else you kind
- 49:44Speaker 3: of put up against it. I think this is on
- 49:46Speaker 3: the ballot, this go around. I think preserving American culture
- 49:50Speaker 3: is very much at risk. My family felt somewhat filled
- 49:54Speaker 3: with anxiety and a little bit threatened as we were
- 49:57Speaker 3: in those really thick, heavy crowds on Saturday night. I
- 49:59Speaker 3: don't want that for anybody. Jackie, thank you for your time.
- 50:02Speaker 3: Thanks for being with us.
- 50:03Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Can I say one thing very quickly?
- 50:05Speaker 12: DSA's core organizing principle is Palestine. Actually, Palestine is on
- 50:11Speaker 12: the ballot. There's no more thing as Democrat Party in
- 50:14Speaker 12: New York City. It's been absorbed by DSA, Democratic Socialists
- 50:16Speaker 12: of America. Their core organizing principle is Palestine. Palestine is
- 50:20Speaker 12: on the ballot, was literally on the ballot in the
- 50:23Speaker 12: New York Democratic primaries this past June. Bruce Blakeman, it's
- 50:27Speaker 12: Islamists versus Republican. And it has to be Republican.
- 50:31Speaker 3: Or American.
- 50:32Speaker 1: Or American.
- 50:35Speaker 3: Thank you, Jackie. Appreciate it. Kevin McCullough coming back from
- 50:37Speaker 3: Times Square. Don't go anywhere.
- 50:57Speaker 8: Here he is from New York, that Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 51:10Speaker 3: All right, welcome back. It is Monday, and that means
- 51:13Speaker 3: it's time to talk money because we try to, here
- 51:16Speaker 3: at the beginning of the week, help you be the
- 51:17Speaker 3: best steward possible of what you're working so hard to
- 51:22Speaker 3: try to provide and leave for as a legacy for
- 51:25Speaker 3: your family and to take care of those that you
- 51:27Speaker 3: have responsibility for. Always grateful to help you try to
- 51:31Speaker 3: be able to do that. And we've got such great
- 51:33Speaker 3: resources for you, one of which, for small business owners,
- 51:36Speaker 3: I want you to listen up. Because my very good
- 51:39Speaker 3: friends at Mach Funding, M-A-C-H, like the word for speed,
- 51:45Speaker 3: MachFunding.com have come alongside and they are helping business owners
- 51:49Speaker 3: every single day achieve those goals. You can call them
- 51:52Speaker 3: at 888-462-9442. Tony Bode is the president and founder of
- 51:54Speaker 3: Mach Funding. And, Tony, we were talking over the weekend,
- 52:01Speaker 3: you know, when small businesses get going, which, by the way,
- 52:05Speaker 3: we have to have small businesses in this country. They
- 52:07Speaker 3: provide two out of every three new jobs. But when
- 52:10Speaker 3: they get going, there's all kinds of hurdles and challenges.
- 52:14Speaker 3: And getting funding to get started really is one of
- 52:17Speaker 3: the most crucial. And there's like four basic ways that
- 52:21Speaker 3: most small businesses do get funded. Let's talk about them. Yeah, definitely.
- 52:25Speaker 10: And, Kevin, once again, great to be here. So there's
- 52:28Speaker 10: really four ways.
- 52:29Speaker 13: I mean, for most people, there's probably three ways, but
- 52:32Speaker 13: I would say getting right into it, the more traditional route,
- 52:35Speaker 13: which is the route everybody knows about is the bank.
- 52:37Speaker 13: Going to the bank is easier said than done for
- 52:40Speaker 13: a small business owner, especially in this day and age,
- 52:43Speaker 13: mostly because of the red tape. I mean, we know
- 52:46Speaker 13: that it's obvious, but what most small business owners really
- 52:50Speaker 13: don't think about is as a small business owner, you're
- 52:52Speaker 13: trying to show as little income as possible.
- 52:56Speaker 10: Especially when the end of the year is near.
- 52:58Speaker 13: You want to make sure you take advantage of every
- 53:00Speaker 13: single tax incentive out there. So that automatically kind of
- 53:05Speaker 13: disqualifies you at the bank level, not even getting into credit.
- 53:08Speaker 13: You need at least a 650 credit score for most banks.
- 53:12Speaker 13: So if you're a small business owner, you're putting all
- 53:14Speaker 13: your money into your business. That includes your credit, all
- 53:16Speaker 13: your resources.
- 53:17Speaker 4: So a.
- 53:20Speaker 13: The bank is clearly the best route in terms of rates,
- 53:24Speaker 13: payment structures, and so on and so forth. A lot
- 53:27Speaker 13: of the banks, banks in general, just really, really want
- 53:30Speaker 13: to secure their investment in many ways, more ways than one.
- 53:34Speaker 13: And so for them, they want to make sure you
- 53:36Speaker 13: have squeaky clean business. You have to be in business established.
- 53:40Speaker 10: The longer, the better.
- 53:40Speaker 13: So rule of thumb is three years or more at
- 53:43Speaker 13: a minimum. And you have to show at least two
- 53:45Speaker 13: years of profitable tax returns. So Small business owners, a
- 53:49Speaker 13: lot of them, again, due to the fact that they're
- 53:52Speaker 13: growing their business or trying to do whatever they can
- 53:53Speaker 13: to put everything into it, that usually disqualifies them at
- 53:56Speaker 13: the bank level. Then you have the shark tanks of
- 53:59Speaker 13: the world, right? The angel investors, as I like to
- 54:02Speaker 13: call them. And that's a whole other situation in and
- 54:05Speaker 13: of itself because now you're finding someone who is going
- 54:08Speaker 13: to believe in your business.
- 54:11Speaker 10: Enough to put their own money and resources into the business.
- 54:14Speaker 13: And the downsides to that is not every business owner, unfortunately,
- 54:18Speaker 13: has that person or that investor.
- 54:21Speaker 10: And many of them.
- 54:22Speaker 13: Have to have some kind of a niche product or
- 54:25Speaker 13: incredible amount of momentum in their business that calls for
- 54:29Speaker 13: attention from that investor to come in and step in.
- 54:32Speaker 13: And then that, even if let's say you are that
- 54:35Speaker 13: kind of person that has that momentum and has that
- 54:38Speaker 13: kind of product as a business, then getting that investor
- 54:41Speaker 13: to come in and financing your operation, hopefully getting to
- 54:46Speaker 13: a point where your business is growing and doing.
- 54:49Speaker 10: Everything possible, then going out and buying that.
- 54:52Speaker 13: Person out is a bigger nightmare than it is for
- 54:56Speaker 13: most business owners than it should be because these people
- 54:58Speaker 13: are in it to get their money and not to
- 55:00Speaker 13: get their money back. They want to get two or
- 55:02Speaker 13: three times their money. So that brings a whole slew
- 55:05Speaker 13: of other issues. So I would argue that by far
- 55:08Speaker 13: is the most expensive way to get money for your business.
- 55:12Speaker 13: So then the other option, a third option would be
- 55:14Speaker 13: Let's say you're a lucky person to have a rich uncle.
- 55:17Speaker 13: We talked about this on my podcast. You know, you
- 55:19Speaker 13: have a rich uncle, rich friend, rich family member. They're
- 55:22Speaker 13: willing to put money into your business, bail you out
- 55:24Speaker 13: of a situation. And that's great if you have that
- 55:28Speaker 13: kind of person. But then good luck having a Thanksgiving
- 55:32Speaker 13: conversation and telling them that you can't pay them back
- 55:35Speaker 13: or you're putting more than money on the line.
- 55:38Speaker 10: You're putting your relationship with that person on the line.
- 55:41Speaker 13: And then obviously you got to figure out how to
- 55:43Speaker 13: accurately recorded in your taxes. That's a whole nother thing.
- 55:47Speaker 13: And there's no paper trail, meaning there's no credit. The
- 55:49Speaker 13: whole point of growing a business is to establish credit.
- 55:53Speaker 13: So when you're borrowing from a personal family friend, there's
- 55:56Speaker 13: no paper trail of that.
- 55:57Speaker 10: So while that's a great bailout, get out of jail card,
- 56:00Speaker 10: as I like to say, it's really not.
- 56:02Speaker 13: Really a solution to really grow your business into the future, right?
- 56:06Speaker 13: That person's not gonna bankroll your business forever, right? So
- 56:09Speaker 13: then the last and fourth, I guess, option out there
- 56:12Speaker 13: would be, The revenue-based, the alternative-based financing, our wheelhouse, that's
- 56:19Speaker 13: our industry. And there's obvious downsides to our industry, right?
- 56:23Speaker 13: The terms are shorter. The rates are higher. It's not
- 56:27Speaker 13: a one-size-fits-all shoe. It has to make sense for your business.
- 56:31Speaker 13: You have to be able to use the money in
- 56:33Speaker 13: a way where the cash flow generated by investing the
- 56:37Speaker 13: money far exceeds how much you're going to be paying back.
- 56:41Speaker 10: And over the timeframe, you're paying it back.
- 56:43Speaker 13: And so that's the conversation that we have to have
- 56:45Speaker 13: every single day with clients is figuring out your situation,
- 56:49Speaker 13: understanding what you're using the money for, how long is
- 56:53Speaker 13: your investment going to take to pay you back? And
- 56:56Speaker 13: can you afford those payments and weather the storm in
- 56:59Speaker 13: the meantime, right?
- 57:01Speaker 10: So friends, rule of thumb is very simple.
- 57:04Speaker 13: The more attractive the lending option is, the more conservative
- 57:09Speaker 13: the lender is, that's providing it to you.
- 57:11Speaker 10: So vice versa, the more risk the lender is.
- 57:14Speaker 13: Taking, then obviously the more, the shorter the term, the
- 57:17Speaker 13: more aggressive the repayment options are. But at the end
- 57:20Speaker 13: of the day, the only loan option that works for
- 57:24Speaker 13: you as a business owner is the one that you
- 57:26Speaker 13: have within your reach, but more importantly, the one that
- 57:30Speaker 13: you can afford and the one that you can profit
- 57:32Speaker 13: out of.
- 57:33Speaker 10: And that's just the way it is.
- 57:34Speaker 3: Well, and I'm glad you kind of went through that.
- 57:37Speaker 3: And friends, I want you to know mock funding can
- 57:40Speaker 3: get you access to all kinds of options, including at
- 57:45Speaker 3: least three of the four that were two of the
- 57:46Speaker 3: four that we're talking about here because they can do SBA.
- 57:50Speaker 3: They can do some bank referrals, some other stuff. But
- 57:54Speaker 3: that's right. The issue, Tony, is always to go into
- 57:59Speaker 3: what you're doing with eyes wide open and to be
- 58:02Speaker 3: really careful. non-emotional, but very clear-eyed about what your strategy is.
- 58:09Speaker 3: I think the problem for a lot of people is
- 58:11Speaker 3: that money is a really dangerous fire. And sometimes people
- 58:16Speaker 3: don't know what to do with it when it's sitting
- 58:19Speaker 3: in their pocket. And you've heard the expression, burns a
- 58:23Speaker 3: hole through their pocket. It can have that temptation. What
- 58:26Speaker 3: I appreciate about what you guys do is that you
- 58:29Speaker 3: sit down with the business owner and you say, We
- 58:32Speaker 3: need to understand your business. We need to understand what
- 58:35Speaker 3: qualifies as success in that business. How does that success register?
- 58:41Speaker 3: How often does it come in, et cetera? And then
- 58:44Speaker 3: you really try to match the need of what they have.
- 58:48Speaker 3: And like in the industry of farming or whatever, there
- 58:50Speaker 3: may be a farmer that's sitting on not planning or
- 58:55Speaker 3: not doing something because he doesn't have the right piece
- 58:57Speaker 3: of equipment, but he's, quote, saving up for it. in
- 59:00Speaker 3: a traditional way that may take him an exponential amount
- 59:04Speaker 3: of time to do that. Whereas if he sits down
- 59:06Speaker 3: with you and you say, well, if you had this
- 59:09Speaker 3: piece of equipment, you could actually get that field planted
- 59:14Speaker 3: faster and we're going to be able to get you
- 59:16Speaker 3: down the road further in a faster time. It's those
- 59:21Speaker 3: types of things that you go out of your way
- 59:23Speaker 3: to help your customers understand. And the other thing I
- 59:28Speaker 3: want to tell your friends- The other thing I want
- 59:30Speaker 3: you to know about Tony is that they have people
- 59:33Speaker 3: that have been doing business with them for years. They've
- 59:37Speaker 3: come back again and again because of Tony's integrity in
- 59:42Speaker 3: any finance space. Integrity sometimes gets left at the door.
- 59:47Speaker 3: And Tony and the people at Mock Funding are the
- 59:50Speaker 3: high integrity business solution. They're the ones that will really
- 59:54Speaker 3: work with you to understand what you need to do
- 59:56Speaker 3: and how you need to do it. And Tony, I
- 59:58Speaker 3: just appreciate that because I don't ever want to recommend
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: the people that listen to me to go to people
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: that I don't know and wouldn't trust myself. And I
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: love these guys. I love what they're about. I love
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: the way they do it.
- 1:00:09Speaker 4: 888-462-9442.
- 1:00:09Speaker 5: 888-462-9442.
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: 888-462-9442.
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: And the really interesting thing here is that you guys
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: are the hardest working group I've ever met. You're working
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: around the clock and you're ready to talk to people
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: no matter what time they call.
- 1:00:32Speaker 10: Absolutely. Yeah.
- 1:00:33Speaker 13: You know, Fred's real takeaway here is understanding your situation.
- 1:00:37Speaker 13: Sometimes borrowing money isn't the answer. Sometimes it's a matter
- 1:00:41Speaker 13: of saving money or planning yourself accordingly.
- 1:00:43Speaker 10: We're not afraid to walk away from a transaction.
- 1:00:46Speaker 13: First thing we like to do is just have a conversation,
- 1:00:48Speaker 13: understand your situation before you hand over any information, any
- 1:00:51Speaker 13: other sensitive information or paperwork to us.
- 1:00:54Speaker 10: If it makes sense, then we'll move forward. If not,
- 1:00:56Speaker 10: we will tell you.
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: So when you're thinking about that expansion or what you
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: want to do with your small company, 888-462-9442, call Tony
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: and the team, ask about revenue-based funding and how that's
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: different than SBA, how that's different than banks. But they'll
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: be able to work with you, whatever your needs. 888-462-9442, 888-462-9442. Tony,
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: thank you as always. We'll see you again next Monday.
- 1:01:23Speaker 10: Thank you, guys. Looking forward to it.
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: You got it. Kevin McCullough coming right back from New York.
- 1:01:27Speaker 6: Don't go anywhere.
- 1:01:28Speaker 9: We'll be right back.
- 1:01:36Speaker 8: Stick around for more of That Kevin next. Here he is,
- 1:01:58Speaker 8: from New York, that Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: Welcome back, Kevin McCullough, 888-342-1010, 888-342-1010. That phone number very
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: simply helps you liberate a human slave. Whoa, hold on
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: a second, Kev. What's that about? Human slavery. It's more
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: populous today than it has ever been in human history. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: I thought we had abolition. I thought that the slaves
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: were set free. Maybe in the West, maybe because of
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: the influence of Christianity, maybe because, yes, there was a
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: season in which these cultures woke up and said, we
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: got to stop doing this. But friends, in much of
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: the rest of the world, slavery continues on in a
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: horrific fashion. And it varies where you are. In some places,
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: it's indentured servitude where children of people who owed a
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: lot of money and those people died are now in
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: essence slaves of those that are making bricks and they
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: work 20 hours a day with four hours of sleep
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: and almost nothing to eat. There are others that it's
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: just pure sex trafficking. They just take minors and they
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: just make them do what they want them to do.
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: In the case of what we're talking about with the
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: slaves of Sudan, it's a little bit of all of that.
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: It's forced labor. It's sexual abuse. It's spiritual abuse. It's
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: mental abuse. It's physical abuse. It's verbal abuse. Like if
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: you can be abused in any way possible, a Sudanese
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: slave has been abused in that way. And that's why
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: this Christmas, I want to give these women the best
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: Christmas gift we could ever give them, which is their
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: liberation and a brand new life. And Todd Chapman is
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: back with us from Christian Solidarity International. But Todd, you
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: think about it, this bag of hope, it comes loaded
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: with food for a year, seed for another year's worth
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: of food. They eat this grain called sorghum. It has
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: all these gadgets and trinkets and things that they need
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: to help clean and fish and do gardening with and
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: all that stuff. It gives them it's really not just
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: a bag. It's several bags. But you've got blankets and
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: tarps and things to protect from weather. And then on
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: top of everything else that's in there, there's a dairy
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: she goat that gives milk that they are given as
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: their own and they get to take it. And when
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: they receive this, it's like they've won the biggest lottery
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: that you can imagine. Imagine Todd Chapman winning the billion
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: dollar lottery in the state of Michigan. This would be
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: the equivalent for one of these slaves because they've had
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: so little of nothing to themselves. And it gives them
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: everything to start the new life over. And that's what
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: the $ 250 to Christian Solidarity International provides every single one
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: of them.
- 1:04:31Speaker 7: Yeah, it's such a beautiful opportunity that we have. And,
- 1:04:35Speaker 7: you know, with the expansion of that Kevin show on
- 1:04:37Speaker 7: to so many new stations in the last year. Even
- 1:04:40Speaker 7: though Kevin and I have been bringing this in front
- 1:04:42Speaker 7: of listeners for years, it's so awesome that there's a
- 1:04:45Speaker 7: whole new bunch of people that have probably never heard
- 1:04:47Speaker 7: about this before. And so would you lean in just
- 1:04:49Speaker 7: for a second? And would you just prayerfully, seriously, don't say,
- 1:04:52Speaker 7: you know, flippantly, I'll pray about it. Would you seriously, intentionally,
- 1:04:57Speaker 7: prayerfully ask what God would have you do? Because God
- 1:04:59Speaker 7: does not bring opportunities across our path on accident. As
- 1:05:03Speaker 7: a matter of fact, Ephesians 2.10, one of my favorite
- 1:05:05Speaker 7: verses in the Bible, you are God's masterpiece. created in
- 1:05:09Speaker 7: Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in
- 1:05:13Speaker 7: advance for you to do. What an awesome verse, man.
- 1:05:16Speaker 7: I mean, you know, number one, you're a masterpiece of God.
- 1:05:19Speaker 7: He created you. He redeemed you through his son. And
- 1:05:22Speaker 7: then he has good things for you to do in
- 1:05:24Speaker 7: the world. This might be, and I really believe it is,
- 1:05:27Speaker 7: if you're hearing this, I just believe that you don't
- 1:05:29Speaker 7: have to agree.
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: It's what I believe.
- 1:05:30Speaker 7: I'm going to put it out there. I think this
- 1:05:32Speaker 7: is one of those good deeds that God ordained for
- 1:05:34Speaker 7: you to do. Free a human being in the name
- 1:05:37Speaker 7: of Jesus, return them to their home country, return them
- 1:05:41Speaker 7: oftentimes to their community, sometimes even reunite them with a
- 1:05:43Speaker 7: family that they were taken from decades ago. I'm looking
- 1:05:47Speaker 7: at a toke story. She was out collecting firewood near
- 1:05:50Speaker 7: her village when she was a young girl. And she,
- 1:05:53Speaker 7: this is kind of weird, but she had climbed a
- 1:05:54Speaker 7: tree to take a nap or something. I guess maybe
- 1:05:56Speaker 7: she was afraid of staying on the ground, but She
- 1:05:59Speaker 7: wakes up from her nap on the tree limb, looks down.
- 1:06:01Speaker 7: There's five armed men that got guns pointing at her.
- 1:06:04Speaker 7: And they're like, come down here. And now she's taken to,
- 1:06:06Speaker 7: you know, up north to Sudan, where she's put to
- 1:06:10Speaker 7: work doing every, you know, just junky, hard job you
- 1:06:14Speaker 7: can imagine. She's enslaved, sexually abused. This goes on for
- 1:06:18Speaker 7: 19 years. And the whole time she's praying silently to
- 1:06:23Speaker 7: herself at night while she's working all day. round-the-clock prayer saying, God,
- 1:06:27Speaker 7: would you free me? Would you rescue me? Would you
- 1:06:29Speaker 7: deliver me? And God finally heard her prayer. One of
- 1:06:32Speaker 7: our slave retrievers, and they work all year round, by
- 1:06:35Speaker 7: the way, just, you know, looking for these slaves and
- 1:06:37Speaker 7: then negotiating their release. And now she is back in
- 1:06:39Speaker 7: South Sudan. She got her bag of hope, and she's
- 1:06:44Speaker 7: so excited about the opportunity to have her life begin.
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: Well, and I just want to say, one of the
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: things when they get back to the camp, the liberation
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: camp in South Sudan, and they're given plenty of time
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: to get medical attention and sometimes counseling and some other
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: things they may need. They get to tell their story.
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: They've never been able to tell their story to anyone
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: or to talk about it in any way. So to
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: verbalize it and to kind of document it, to help
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: them remember what their given name was from birth, if
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: they can, and kind of trace where their, where their
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: family comes from. But in that they begin to find
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: solidarity with one another, with other slaves who've been through
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: similar experiences. And if, if CSI can't find their physical
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: human family, Because many times they were shot and killed
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: in front of them, traumatizing them further as they were
- 1:07:30Speaker 3: taken into slavery. They watched their own parents be executed
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: or they watched their mom be gang raped by slaves
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: or by slave masters. These horrible things are all there.
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: If they can't find the human family, then what they've
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: begun is these wonderful communities of these women who have
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: lived this life together, understand what each other has gone through.
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: And in Christian community now, related to churches in places
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: in South Sudan, they get to have these communities of
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: women that live together joyously, rejoicing for their freedom and
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: being able to start their lives over again. And imagine
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: like the most meaningful small group you've ever been part of.
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: This is that on steroids. Like there's so much support there.
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: And then the churches, the churches just, I mean, they
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: make the prodigal son's return home look silly. Like it's just,
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: they're so rejoiced over when they come home. Friends, that's
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: the gift you get to give them this year for $ 250.
- 1:08:24Speaker 5: 888-342-1010. 888-342-1010. 888-342-1010.
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: $ 250 liberates one life. How many lives will you liberate
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: right now? Go to thatkevinshow.com, click the CSI banner, or
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: dial 888-342-1010. From New York.
- 1:09:00Speaker 8: That Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: All right, it's Money Monday. We continue to try to
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: help you be a wise steward with what you work
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: so hard to earn every week. Thank you for being
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: with us. Hilary Kramer is back with me. We love
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: to look at what's going on in the stock world
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: with Hilary. Hilary is a famous picker of stocks. And Hilary,
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: you've picked a selection of stocks for us today that
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: are high-yielding. Talk to us about that. these great selections
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: you got for us.
- 1:09:27Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:09:28Speaker 6: First, let me explain. Because now a 10-year treasury will yield.
- 1:09:33Speaker 14: You 2% more than it would a year ago, there's
- 1:09:39Speaker 14: a lot of transferring from stocks that give dividends to
- 1:09:43Speaker 14: buying treasury and to buying bonds.
- 1:09:45Speaker 6: But those companies that have high dividend yields... and their
- 1:09:50Speaker 6: stock prices have gone down because people just sold to
- 1:09:52Speaker 6: make this rotation, I still think you're better off buying
- 1:09:56Speaker 6: a stock. Buy a company that gives you a high
- 1:09:59Speaker 6: dividend yield and which is going to underlying make you
- 1:10:03Speaker 6: money because not only are you going to get your 6% plus,
- 1:10:07Speaker 6: we're going to go through these right now, you'll also
- 1:10:10Speaker 6: have the opportunity for the underlying stock to rise in value. Okay,
- 1:10:15Speaker 6: so that's what I'm giving you. And we're going to
- 1:10:17Speaker 6: start with something that's going to be near and dear
- 1:10:19Speaker 6: to all of us. And that's Enterprise Products Partners, EPD.
- 1:10:25Speaker 6: E as in enterprise, P as in products, D as
- 1:10:29Speaker 6: in department, EPD. Okay. Enterprise transports, processes, stores, and exports.
- 1:10:35Speaker 9: You got it.
- 1:10:36Speaker 6: Natural gas, oil, and natural gas liquids, NGL.
- 1:10:41Speaker 10: Okay.
- 1:10:41Speaker 6: They do specifically propane for heating and ethane used to
- 1:10:44Speaker 6: make plastics. We are going into the winter months. Propane
- 1:10:48Speaker 6: is going to be very important. Here is a stock
- 1:10:50Speaker 6: that will give you a 6.2% dividend yield.
- 1:10:52Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:10:52Speaker 6: 6.2%. In the last 12 months, the stock is up 17%.
- 1:10:59Speaker 6: I see it rising even more.
- 1:11:01Speaker 4: Look, it's just a.
- 1:11:02Speaker 6: Very, very compelling one to buy because of also there's
- 1:11:06Speaker 6: going to be growing manufacturing needs. So it's not just
- 1:11:09Speaker 6: propane for heating, but as I said, ethane use for
- 1:11:11Speaker 6: making plastics. We're not going to stay in a low
- 1:11:15Speaker 6: demand environment forever. Now, Enbridge, ENB. as in Edgar, Nancy, Bravo.
- 1:11:22Speaker 6: This is pipelines and natural gas utilities. Enbridge has 7.2
- 1:11:28Speaker 6: million customers across North America. Again, heating, manufacturing, electricity generation,
- 1:11:35Speaker 6: they all support demand for Enbridge. And Enbridge, you have
- 1:11:40Speaker 6: almost a 6%, a 5.9% dividend yield. And the stock, look,
- 1:11:46Speaker 6: the stock is only up 2% in the last year.
- 1:11:48Speaker 6: And even if it doesn't rise more than that, look,
- 1:11:51Speaker 6: I'll take 6% any day of the week. Here's a
- 1:11:54Speaker 6: REIT that I really like. Realty income. Been around a
- 1:11:56Speaker 6: long time. O. O as in Oscar. So I think
- 1:12:02Speaker 6: we are going into a recessionary environment. At the very least,
- 1:12:05Speaker 6: I'm sorry to say we are in an environment already
- 1:12:08Speaker 6: where there's the 2% and the 98%. And the 98%
- 1:12:13Speaker 6: was fine because it used to be that there was
- 1:12:16Speaker 6: some money there. But the money is drying up because
- 1:12:18Speaker 6: the AI jobs are starting to really hit more.
- 1:12:23Speaker 4: People.
- 1:12:23Speaker 6: People are losing their jobs and not getting new jobs.
- 1:12:26Speaker 6: So we can talk about that at some point, but
- 1:12:28Speaker 6: I just want people to make money. So if you're
- 1:12:30Speaker 6: someone who's going to be losing your job, whatever money
- 1:12:33Speaker 6: they're going to be giving you, put into realty income, oh,
- 1:12:36Speaker 6: get that 6%. Hopefully the stock itself will rise as well.
- 1:12:40Speaker 6: Here's one, Verizon, which is a little bit at 6.8%,
- 1:12:43Speaker 6: the dividend yield. I couldn't help but bringing it in here.
- 1:12:48Speaker 6: Stock's only up to 2.2% over the course of the year. Now,
- 1:12:52Speaker 6: we're having a lot of trouble in New York and
- 1:12:53Speaker 6: New Jersey with Verizon and dropped lines, dropped communication. But
- 1:12:59Speaker 6: I think Verizon is going to fix that.
- 1:13:01Speaker 4: Plus, there's a big moat.
- 1:13:03Speaker 6: It's not so easy just to change from Verizon to
- 1:13:05Speaker 6: another wireless phone service. And, of course, Fios has the broadband,
- 1:13:11Speaker 6: the wireless home internet online. There's going to be Starlink
- 1:13:14Speaker 6: and there's going to be some competition there. But that
- 1:13:18Speaker 6: quarterly dividend that comes in, you can't beat it. It's
- 1:13:23Speaker 6: actually kind of amazing, 6.8%. I don't usually say this.
- 1:13:28Speaker 6: But it wasn't until I was doing some heavy-duty work
- 1:13:31Speaker 6: the last few days with my team, Scott and I,
- 1:13:34Speaker 6: really trying to figure out what to be buying, what
- 1:13:36Speaker 6: to tell people to go in, that I realized Verizon
- 1:13:39Speaker 6: is one for us to all go in. The reason
- 1:13:41Speaker 6: the stock doesn't perform is that there's a lot of debt.
- 1:13:43Speaker 4: It costs a lot of money.
- 1:13:45Speaker 6: To build out and build wireless, okay? And then they
- 1:13:48Speaker 6: have to stay competitive, so sometimes their prices drop. Here's one, Pfizer, P-F-E.
- 1:13:53Speaker 6: We all know Pfizer, okay?
- 1:13:55Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:13:56Speaker 6: There's Prednar for pneumococcal vaccines, okay, for pneumonia. There's Ebron
- 1:14:02Speaker 6: for breast cancer. There's Vindamax for cardiac conditions. And everyone's
- 1:14:07Speaker 6: heard of Eliquis. That's the blood thinner that's commercialized along
- 1:14:11Speaker 6: with Bristol-Myers squid, which never seems to go anywhere.
- 1:14:14Speaker 4: Pfizer.
- 1:14:15Speaker 6: PFD, that's where you want to be. The stock's up
- 1:14:17Speaker 6: almost 14% on the year. You get a 6.1% dividend yield.
- 1:14:22Speaker 6: You couldn't ask for anything more than that. That is
- 1:14:27Speaker 6: going to give you, it's going to be like good
- 1:14:29Speaker 6: as gold. And then lastly, hey, we're going to be
- 1:14:32Speaker 6: going into Christmas season. Let's talk about UPS. It's delivery
- 1:14:37Speaker 6: and there's a healthcare opportunity here. First of all, let
- 1:14:40Speaker 6: me do the dividend yield.
- 1:14:41Speaker 10: Almost 7% by UPS. Wow.
- 1:14:44Speaker 6: So buy Verizon, buy Pfizer, buy UPS. So it's partial delivery.
- 1:14:49Speaker 8: We all know that.
- 1:14:50Speaker 6: We all know it's international express shipping and logistics. But
- 1:14:54Speaker 6: UPS has really come to specialize in temperature control delivery
- 1:14:57Speaker 6: of medicines and other health care products that require refrigeration.
- 1:15:02Speaker 6: Let's start with the GLP-1s. Yeah, we are going to
- 1:15:05Speaker 6: GLP's pills instead. But there's a lot of refrigerated needs there.
- 1:15:11Speaker 6: for medications and therapeutics. So that's going to provide better
- 1:15:15Speaker 6: margins for this company, and UPS is only up to
- 1:15:18Speaker 6: less than 5% on the year. Again, I'm going to
- 1:15:21Speaker 6: repeat it, almost a 7% dividend yield. Its delivery network
- 1:15:25Speaker 6: is impossible to replicate. UPS Healthcare Logistics offers this durable
- 1:15:30Speaker 6: growth opportunity, and you get income here. true, true income.
- 1:15:36Speaker 6: So I want everyone to think about UPS, Pfizer, Verizon,
- 1:15:41Speaker 6: Realty Income. And of course, I really do like Enbridge
- 1:15:45Speaker 6: and Enterprise Product Partners, EPD especially, because there is just
- 1:15:50Speaker 6: such a strong demand for propane.
- 1:15:52Speaker 3: And on that note, friends, Hillary will have all of
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: these listed at her LinkedIn, along with some others that
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: she's going to give us. We don't have time today,
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: but she's going to be giving us an insight on
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: a data storage option. She did this with ScanDisk two
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: years ago, and it went up 600%. She feels very
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: good about something she's going to tell us about next time.
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: But join her LinkedIn, Hillary Kramer. LinkedIn at Hillary Kramer.
- 1:16:18Speaker 3: Go and check her out there. She'll have this list
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: of high dividend yields and also more notes on that
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: data storage option that you're going to want to know
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: more about. Hillary, always appreciate it. Thank you.
- 1:16:31Speaker 8: Absolutely.
- 1:16:32Speaker 6: Have a wonderful week. Everyone be well, be healthy, be safe.
- 1:16:36Speaker 8: Stick around for more of That Kevin.
- 1:16:39Speaker 11: Next. Serving it up with a no-drink minimum.
- 1:16:50Speaker 8: It's That Kevin Show.
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: All right, Kevin McCullough, final few minutes of the Monday edition.
- 1:17:01Speaker 4: Disrespect for women.
- 1:17:02Speaker 15: You can't send those messages, no matter how drunk you
- 1:17:06Speaker 15: are as a frat boy, without having some kind of
- 1:17:08Speaker 15: misunderstanding about what women are there for. You know, we
- 1:17:12Speaker 15: can go to the president for this one. I mean,
- 1:17:14Speaker 15: we are in a moment in this culture where the
- 1:17:16Speaker 15: glorification of being thuggish and swaggering and mistreating women is
- 1:17:21Speaker 15: kind of making you a cool kid.
- 1:17:23Speaker 3: Actually, it's not doing anything of the sort, and to
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: blame the Cornell 7, which is what Michelle Cottle of
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: ABC News this week was saying there, is kind of
- 1:17:34Speaker 3: absurd because Joe Biden was president at the time that
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: the Cornell 7 event happened. But aside from that, this
- 1:17:42Speaker 3: is an interesting argument that I have not heard the
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: feminists among us, the progressives among us, the progressive feminists,
- 1:17:53Speaker 3: the man-haters among us make. She said that you cannot
- 1:17:59Speaker 3: be in any way not responsible for the messages you send,
- 1:18:04Speaker 3: no matter how drunk you are, if you are a boy.
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: That's an interesting statement, because the argument you're making for
- 1:18:13Speaker 3: the Jane Doe in the And that's what she's arguing.
- 1:18:26Speaker 3: The girl in the case has never argued that the
- 1:18:29Speaker 3: boys came in and held her down and did stuff
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: to her against her will. Her argument is that she
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: was too incapacitated to object to what happened. And yet, Ms.
- 1:18:40Speaker 3: Cottle is saying that the boys could not have been
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: too incapacitated to send texts the following day. Now, look,
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: all of this behavior to me is debauchery. And if
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: any of my children were involved in it, which I
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: pray to God never happens, I would be having very
- 1:18:59Speaker 3: private conversations with them about what went wrong and what
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: we are not about. But if you wait until then,
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: it's way too late. train up a child in the
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: way they should go. But this is a, this is
- 1:19:12Speaker 3: a terrible argument for this woman to be making because
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: what she's saying basically is that men can be inebriated
- 1:19:22Speaker 3: and responsible and women can be inebriated and not responsible.
- 1:19:27Speaker 3: In other words, she's drawing a line that is saying
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: that men are in some ways stronger and more capable
- 1:19:34Speaker 3: than women are. She would deny that. She would say,
- 1:19:38Speaker 3: that's not what I'm arguing, but that is what her
- 1:19:40Speaker 3: argument argues on its own. If it does not matter
- 1:19:43Speaker 3: how drunk the boys were when they sent texts following
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: the events that occurred, and you want to hold them
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: responsible for the things that they texted, no matter how
- 1:19:53Speaker 3: drunk they were, that's fair. But that same standard should
- 1:19:57Speaker 3: apply to the woman who's now changed her story from
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: two years ago when she said that, nothing illegal and
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: nothing inappropriate happened and that she actually enjoyed it. And
- 1:20:10Speaker 3: now two years later, when there's a sniff of a
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: payday and some other things, she's changing, she's changing it
- 1:20:16Speaker 3: up while still arguing that she was too incapacitated to object.
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: You can't, you can't say one group can be so
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: drunk that they can't be responsible. And yet the other
- 1:20:26Speaker 3: group can't be that drunk and still be held responsible.
- 1:20:31Speaker 3: It's just a, it's a dishonest argument. And, What we
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: really need to be doing is aiming much higher than
- 1:20:40Speaker 3: this all the way around. We need to be aiming
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: for the things that are good. We need to be
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: teaching our children to aim for the very best. The
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: reason that I am not really keen on the American
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: university experience is that this has too great of a
- 1:20:58Speaker 3: possibility for happening. I want my kids to think. I
- 1:21:01Speaker 3: want them to make critically good decisions and I want
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: them to honor the God that they've all given their
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: life to. But this argument is not going to pass muster.
- 1:21:13Speaker 3: The boys can't be so drunk and not responsible and
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: she be so drunk and be responsible and vice versa.
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: It's one standard across the board. Kevin McCullough, we'll see
- 1:21:24Speaker 3: you next time.
- 1:21:33Speaker 11: Thank you
