- 1:21Speaker 2: Here, all right, welcome in. It's the Monday edition of

- 1:39Speaker 2: that's involved in.
- 1:40Speaker 7: Putting the show together.
- 1:40Speaker 2: We're grateful for all that everybody does every week. I
- 1:44Speaker 2: was thinking to myself yesterday as I was getting up
- 1:48Speaker 2: before dawn to get ready to go serve on my
- 1:51Speaker 2: worship team at my local church. I play a little keyboard,
- 1:55Speaker 2: I do a little stuff. I sometimes write music. I
- 1:58Speaker 2: get together with really good musicians, and I love making music.
- 2:01Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun. But yesterday, as I was
- 2:04Speaker 2: getting ready to head out, the whole family's asleep. House
- 2:07Speaker 2: is quiet, and I'm thinking to myself, I'm just gonna
- 2:09Speaker 2: sneak a peek at the news, and I did, And
- 2:14Speaker 2: then my whole ride to church before I was forced
- 2:18Speaker 2: to think about other things, was kind of stuck on something.
- 2:23Speaker 2: You know, there's this classic scene in the movie Hoosiers
- 2:26Speaker 2: where the interim coach and I don't know his name,
- 2:29Speaker 2: but he's that guy that plays like the awkward coach,
- 2:33Speaker 2: like Chi gums chomper, you know, weirdo, and like every
- 2:39Speaker 2: film that he's in, he's that guy. And he was
- 2:41Speaker 2: the interim coach when the old coach dies in the
- 2:44Speaker 2: movie Hoosiers and Gene Hackman comes in to replace the
- 2:46Speaker 2: old coach, et cetera. So this guy, I'm going, well,
- 2:52Speaker 2: all thought we'd go ten minutes on, ten minutes off
- 2:55Speaker 2: with a break, Da da da, and Hackman goes. Hackman's
- 2:58Speaker 2: character goes, no, I had a different I had a
- 2:59Speaker 2: different and schedule in mind, and he declines the coach's instructions.
- 3:05Speaker 2: He goes, look, mister, you're new to these parts, and
- 3:08Speaker 2: he goes, I'm only going to tell you this once.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Get out of my gym, and then the guy says
- 3:14Speaker 2: back to him one of the greatest lines in movies
- 3:16Speaker 2: ever in Anywhere. He goes, look, mister, there's two kinds
- 3:19Speaker 2: of stupid in this world. One is the kind where
- 3:21Speaker 2: a man gets naked and barks at the moon in
- 3:23Speaker 2: the middle of the woods, and the other is a
- 3:25Speaker 2: man who does the same thing in my living room.
- 3:28Speaker 2: One you're not forced to deal with, the other one
- 3:30Speaker 2: you kind of are. And I have to tell you,
- 3:33Speaker 2: I think the iatolas in Iran have kind of moved
- 3:36Speaker 2: into the living room as of this weekend. And the
- 3:39Speaker 2: problem is they don't seem to understand it. They don't
- 3:41Speaker 2: seem to know it. And if you look at what's
- 3:44Speaker 2: going on the negotiations that were set up for this
- 3:46Speaker 2: weekend United States in Iran, with Pakistan being the go between.
- 3:51Speaker 2: You see a regime that completely misread the room, the moment, everything.
- 3:55Speaker 2: There wasn't anything that they could have done except going
- 3:58Speaker 2: there and say we're sorry, mister Advance. We will not
- 4:01Speaker 2: do any of the stuff like going after nuclear weapons.
- 4:04Speaker 2: We will not do any of these things going forward.
- 4:06Speaker 2: We are very very sorry. We will make peace with
- 4:08Speaker 2: our neighbors. We will not be like this anymore. And
- 4:11Speaker 2: they didn't do that because for decades their leadership is
- 4:15Speaker 2: operated under this assumption that every American president's just going
- 4:18Speaker 2: to ultimately fold tough talk red lines, you know, but
- 4:25Speaker 2: never enforced, never follow through. They never, they never. You know,
- 4:31Speaker 2: you can pressure them, you can follow it up with
- 4:33Speaker 2: some accommodation and then escalate, and then it's followed by relief.
- 4:37Speaker 2: A rant ultimately gets its way and ultimately kind of
- 4:39Speaker 2: sits back and says, we got the better end of them.
- 4:42Speaker 2: And they've watched this happen since Jimmy Carter. Nearly every president,
- 4:46Speaker 2: with the exception of Ronald Reagan and with the exception
- 4:49Speaker 2: of now Donald Trump. They saw it under Obama, where
- 4:53Speaker 2: red lines just disappeared, palets of cash showed up in exchange.
- 4:56Speaker 2: That was that was an interesting trade. They've learned to
- 5:00Speaker 2: to stall, posture, weigh out the storm, and so they
- 5:04Speaker 2: assume that the current administration and the current president and
- 5:08Speaker 2: the current situation is not going to be any different.
- 5:11Speaker 2: And I think that's a big mistake because the president
- 5:13Speaker 2: is not that guy. Reporting over the weekend made clear
- 5:17Speaker 2: that the negotiations, some of them rooted through regional players
- 5:19Speaker 2: like Pakistan, are happening alongside sustained pressure. That is not easy.
- 5:25Speaker 2: The strategy is not complicated. Compress the regime's options until
- 5:29Speaker 2: it has to choose between survival and stubbornness. That's not
- 5:34Speaker 2: theoretical diplomacy. That's leverage, and leverage should change behavior if
- 5:39Speaker 2: the people across the table are smart enough to recognize it.
- 5:42Speaker 2: But that's where these iatolas are just failing. They are
- 5:46Speaker 2: not smart men because even as their position weakens militarily, economically, diplomatically,
- 5:51Speaker 2: they continue to act like they get to dictate the terms.
- 5:56Speaker 2: They stall, they reject, they posture, they delay, and when
- 6:00Speaker 2: in doing so, they are revealing something that should alarm
- 6:03Speaker 2: everyone watching closely. They don't understand a hoot about the
- 6:08Speaker 2: room they're in right now. This is not the familiar
- 6:11Speaker 2: negotiating table where time is their ally and American resolve
- 6:14Speaker 2: is temporary. This is a narrowing corridor. Every delay will
- 6:19Speaker 2: cost them more, Every rejection isolates them further, Every miscalculation
- 6:23Speaker 2: will reduce They're already shrinking leverage. And yet they continue
- 6:27Speaker 2: as if the old playbook is still being used. That's
- 6:31Speaker 2: not strategy. That's a new kind of stupid in my book. Now,
- 6:36Speaker 2: to be fair, their confusion is not entirely self generated.
- 6:39Speaker 2: They've been trained by years of inconsistent Western responses to
- 6:43Speaker 2: believe that endurance equals victory. We trained them on this
- 6:47Speaker 2: that if they simply outlast the current president, the pressure
- 6:50Speaker 2: will dissipate and the world will move on. But that
- 6:52Speaker 2: assumption is not going to hold under Trump. And what
- 6:56Speaker 2: makes this even more remarkable is that some of the
- 6:58Speaker 2: president's critics here at home still haven't figured it out either.
- 7:02Speaker 2: We watched the same pattern play out again and again.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Underestimate him, dismiss him, assume he'll follow the same tired script,
- 7:09Speaker 2: and then watch as he bulldozes straight over all of it.
- 7:13Speaker 2: The Iatolas are making the exact same mistake. They are
- 7:19Speaker 2: treating President Trump and this situation like a normal negotiation,
- 7:24Speaker 2: which it is not. They misread strength as bluff, they
- 7:30Speaker 2: interpret restraint as weakness. They assume that the future will
- 7:33Speaker 2: look like the past, and then suddenly one day they
- 7:38Speaker 2: wake up and it doesn't. And that's the moment they're
- 7:42Speaker 2: in right now. They've walked into a living room thinking
- 7:45Speaker 2: they were still alone in the woods. They've assumed the
- 7:48Speaker 2: same old tricks would work. They believe the same old
- 7:51Speaker 2: patterns would hold. But the room has completely changed, the
- 7:55Speaker 2: stakes have changed, and the man across from them is
- 7:58Speaker 2: not playing by those old rules. So yeah, there's two
- 8:04Speaker 2: kinds of stupid in this world, And right now the
- 8:07Speaker 2: Ayatolas are demonstrating on the global stage, in actual real time,
- 8:12Speaker 2: which kind they've chosen to be. The only question left
- 8:17Speaker 2: is whether they realize it before the consequence is finished
- 8:19Speaker 2: teaching the lesson for them and friends. I don't wish
- 8:26Speaker 2: to make light of this. The President has basically said
- 8:30Speaker 2: that if they could not get to an agreement, that
- 8:32Speaker 2: there were going to be a lot more dead leadership.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Leadership is going to be targeted, They are going to
- 8:37Speaker 2: be killed, People are going to die, hopefully not civilians
- 8:41Speaker 2: and citizens. Those people want freedom like you wouldn't believe.
- 8:46Speaker 2: But you've got this, You've got this insane insistence that
- 8:52Speaker 2: they are going to continue to pursue nuclear weapons. And
- 8:56Speaker 2: when you see how utterly absurd and daneists they have
- 9:00Speaker 2: been with non nuclear weapons in the last few months,
- 9:05Speaker 2: you think it's a good idea to give it to him.
- 9:08Speaker 2: The President doesn't, and he's taking his entire presidency on it.
- 9:14Speaker 2: He is praying and hoping and pulling and strategizing and
- 9:19Speaker 2: putting policy in place for a safer world. But I
- 9:23Speaker 2: don't think that's a world that the Iyatolas want. They
- 9:26Speaker 2: seem to be rabid in the pursuit of the things
- 9:31Speaker 2: that they are trying to get their hands on, and
- 9:34Speaker 2: it just doesn't make any sense to me, friends, none whatsoever.
- 9:38Speaker 2: All Right, we got a big show. It's Money Monday.
- 9:41Speaker 2: We will talk with David Fisher and Hillary Kramer. We've
- 9:43Speaker 2: got some very interesting stuff for you by way of
- 9:47Speaker 2: the news as well, so I hope that you stay close.
- 9:50Speaker 2: It is that Kevin Show online at that kevinshow dot com.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Here he is from New York, That Kevin Kevin McCullough.
- 10:20Speaker 7: All right, welcome back.
- 10:21Speaker 2: It's that Kevin Show from Times Square here in New York.
- 10:24Speaker 2: We're so grateful for you and so grateful to be
- 10:27Speaker 2: on the four hundred and nineteen individual stations across the
- 10:30Speaker 2: country that are talking to us with some seven hundred
- 10:34Speaker 2: affiliate clearances and just letting us into your life.
- 10:37Speaker 7: Friends.
- 10:37Speaker 2: I'm so grateful, and I just have nothing but deep
- 10:40Speaker 2: gratitude for every program director and station manager that has
- 10:43Speaker 2: put us out there. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- 10:46Speaker 2: This is the part of the show where we ask
- 10:47Speaker 2: the big question, how do we live? How do we
- 10:49Speaker 2: live in a culture that despises God, doesn't like his
- 10:54Speaker 2: word much, kind of looks at his people as though
- 10:56Speaker 2: they are there's something wrong with him. Well, part of
- 11:00Speaker 2: how we live is not just in the dos and
- 11:03Speaker 2: don'ts of every day and trying to live with wisdom
- 11:05Speaker 2: and seeking to help humanity flourish and do the things
- 11:09Speaker 2: that we were made by God to do. But sometimes
- 11:12Speaker 2: we run into experiences in life where we actually need
- 11:16Speaker 2: to make the case for God. I have one friend
- 11:20Speaker 2: right now that I'm dealing with on this level, and
- 11:22Speaker 2: in a fairly significant way. He's been hurt, He's tried
- 11:27Speaker 2: things out. He's not sure if he believes that the
- 11:31Speaker 2: case for God is really real. So I thought, well,
- 11:34Speaker 2: who better to turn to than the man at Emergence
- 11:37Speaker 2: Church in New Jersey who gets every one of the
- 11:39Speaker 2: tough sermons to preach whenever that church wants to talk
- 11:43Speaker 2: about the really tough stuff they say, pastor theology, Doug
- 11:47Speaker 2: Backer come in here and preach for us, and he
- 11:50Speaker 2: truly loves to study God's word and also the idea
- 11:55Speaker 2: of who God is and what difference it makes in
- 11:57Speaker 2: the world around us. So, Doug, you were on with
- 11:59Speaker 2: us in twenty twenty five. Thank you for coming back
- 12:01Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six.
- 12:03Speaker 8: Yell, it's good to be with you. Thanks for asking me. Kevin.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Now, there's a thing that you do at your church
- 12:07Speaker 2: called summer sessions, and this is where you have an
- 12:12Speaker 2: opportunity and you don't even have to be a part
- 12:14Speaker 2: of the Emergence Church family per se to take part
- 12:18Speaker 2: in this, but you open up your church in the
- 12:21Speaker 2: summer for some evening sessions where you go through different studies.
- 12:25Speaker 7: And this year you're studying what.
- 12:29Speaker 9: This year we're going into the different arguments for God's existence.
- 12:33Speaker 2: All right, See, this is important friends, because when you
- 12:37Speaker 2: have the discussions and when you're talking to people about
- 12:42Speaker 2: whether or not you know they're constructing their lives on
- 12:45Speaker 2: something that can be believed in. They're going to come
- 12:47Speaker 2: back at you and say, well, how do you know
- 12:48Speaker 2: God exists? So where do we start, Doug? If we're
- 12:52Speaker 2: like it, you know, I don't know how to do
- 12:55Speaker 2: any of this help me be better at it? Where
- 12:59Speaker 2: would you suggest that we begin?
- 13:01Speaker 9: Yeah, well, we're going to this week, we'll be talking
- 13:03Speaker 9: about a bunch of different uh, several of these different
- 13:07Speaker 9: arguments that God about for God's existence.
- 13:11Speaker 8: But I do think it's important.
- 13:12Speaker 9: That you know to acknowledge them for what they are, right,
- 13:15Speaker 9: because most of us do not believe in God because
- 13:18Speaker 9: we've heard these arguments and analyze them right. So, typically
- 13:22Speaker 9: the way that I will, you know, phrase it will
- 13:25Speaker 9: be in terms of my personal experience with the Lord.
- 13:28Speaker 8: You know, if someone asked me for a.
- 13:29Speaker 9: Reason, I'll tell them for about how the Lord's worked
- 13:32Speaker 9: in my life. And but then I'll also share and
- 13:35Speaker 9: you know, there have been seasons of doubt or places
- 13:39Speaker 9: where times in my life where I've wanted to say,
- 13:41Speaker 9: you know, how could I be more confident, more sure
- 13:44Speaker 9: about this, and that I have found answers that satisfied me.
- 13:49Speaker 8: So it's important to do that. But you know, today
- 13:52Speaker 8: I thought i'd give.
- 13:53Speaker 9: Us a little bit of an intro with probably one
- 13:55Speaker 9: of the more one of the ones that is more
- 13:57Speaker 9: widely recognized as compelling. Okay, and that is called the
- 14:01Speaker 9: fine tuning argument for God's existence.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Well, if you're familiar with music, you may know what
- 14:07Speaker 2: fine tuning is all about. You may know from being
- 14:10Speaker 2: a car mechanic or other things. But what does it
- 14:12Speaker 2: mean as it relates to God and his being here?
- 14:16Speaker 9: Yeah, so this is a this is a kind of
- 14:20Speaker 9: argument from design. So we're familiar with those, right where
- 14:24Speaker 9: you see something like we're pretty good at recognizing when
- 14:29Speaker 9: something must be must have been designed.
- 14:31Speaker 8: Like if you're walking through the woods.
- 14:33Speaker 9: And you find an automobile, even if you've never seen
- 14:37Speaker 9: an automobile before, by looking at it, you would say, well,
- 14:40Speaker 9: it looks like someone built it.
- 14:42Speaker 8: That there's some kind of personal explanation for that.
- 14:45Speaker 2: It doesn't look like one of the trees or one
- 14:48Speaker 2: of the other things that are growing.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Into the wood.
- 14:49Speaker 8: So yes, yeah, exactly.
- 14:52Speaker 9: And there's lots of things that can be pointed to
- 14:55Speaker 9: as examples of design.
- 14:56Speaker 8: And what this does is it.
- 14:57Speaker 9: Points to what is called the fine tuning of the
- 15:00Speaker 9: universe in order as an example, as a very good
- 15:04Speaker 9: example of something that very much appears to be designed.
- 15:10Speaker 9: So the fine tuning of the universe. One of the
- 15:13Speaker 9: things that I like about this one is that this
- 15:15Speaker 9: is a widely acknowledged phenomenon among scientists. So you can actually,
- 15:20Speaker 9: you know, take advantage of the tool in your pocket.
- 15:22Speaker 9: You can encourage your friend or do yourself. Just just
- 15:26Speaker 9: just google examples of the fine tuning of the universe
- 15:29Speaker 9: and you will find these. And so these are not
- 15:33Speaker 9: just like Christians have thought of these things. These are
- 15:36Speaker 9: things that scientists acknowledge exist and and and that call
- 15:41Speaker 9: for an explanation.
- 15:42Speaker 2: And these speak to the idea that it would have
- 15:45Speaker 2: required someone outside larger, bigger than the universe itself, you'd
- 15:53Speaker 2: be able to have this come into existence.
- 15:56Speaker 9: Yeah, I would say that the best way to frame
- 15:59Speaker 9: this is to say that that is the best explanation.
- 16:02Speaker 9: There are other ways that one might explain it. But
- 16:05Speaker 9: with a lot of these things, we're saying, here are
- 16:08Speaker 9: the facts. What is the best explanation for these facts?
- 16:11Speaker 2: All right, So let's jump in. What are some of
- 16:14Speaker 2: the signs that this design exists?
- 16:18Speaker 9: Okay, So when we're talking about the fine tuning of
- 16:22Speaker 9: the universe, we're talking about fundamental constants in physics that
- 16:28Speaker 9: that physicists have observed throughout our universe, things that could
- 16:33Speaker 9: be different, but they are a certain way, and because
- 16:38Speaker 9: they are this way, our universe.
- 16:40Speaker 8: Is life permitting. Okay.
- 16:43Speaker 9: And obviously a lot of this can be unpacked to
- 16:47Speaker 9: greater degrees of depth than we're able to go into now.
- 16:50Speaker 8: But so these would be things.
- 16:52Speaker 9: There's probably around in the neighborhood of about twenty of
- 16:55Speaker 9: these that are widely acknowledged. But examples of these things
- 16:59Speaker 9: would be like the expansion rate of the universe so
- 17:03Speaker 9: shortly after the Big Bang, the rate at which things
- 17:07Speaker 9: expanded outward, and it's it's so as an example, if
- 17:14Speaker 9: this were different within within ten to the sixtieth power, right,
- 17:22Speaker 9: So you think of a number that large, and that's
- 17:25Speaker 9: the possible range that the expansion could have been. And
- 17:27Speaker 9: if it's if it's, if it's one off in there,
- 17:32Speaker 9: you either get a universe that collapse back on itself
- 17:35Speaker 9: or expands too rapidly for any stars to form, so
- 17:39Speaker 9: you know.
- 17:39Speaker 8: It just just goes outward forever.
- 17:42Speaker 9: And what I like about that example is that really
- 17:45Speaker 9: puts a fine point on it, right.
- 17:46Speaker 8: I'm not just.
- 17:47Speaker 9: Saying for human beings to exist, right, like, because one
- 17:52Speaker 9: could say, well, yeah, maybe there's some kind of exotic
- 17:54Speaker 9: life on another planet. Like I think there's a movie
- 17:56Speaker 9: coming out soon about like that's got an alien who's
- 17:59Speaker 9: like made up the rocks or something.
- 18:02Speaker 7: That's Hail Mary. It's already out, but yeah, there you go.
- 18:05Speaker 8: Yeah it was a good book, all right. Yeah, that's
- 18:08Speaker 8: how current I am.
- 18:10Speaker 9: And but the the idea here though, is that physics
- 18:13Speaker 9: doesn't even exist. Stars stars don't exist, not physics, but
- 18:17Speaker 9: like stars don't exist.
- 18:18Speaker 8: Chemistry is impossible, stuff like that.
- 18:21Speaker 9: And again there's about like twenty of these and so
- 18:24Speaker 9: an analogy that I like to use.
- 18:28Speaker 8: I did not originate it.
- 18:29Speaker 9: But let's say you came into a room with a
- 18:33Speaker 9: bunch of dials, right, and the dials are big dials.
- 18:37Speaker 9: They've got like billions, like a billion numbers on them,
- 18:41Speaker 9: and there's many of these dials, each of them, and
- 18:44Speaker 9: if they're not set exactly right, then the room explodes
- 18:48Speaker 9: as soon as you walk into it. But you go
- 18:50Speaker 9: into the room and every single one is set as
- 18:53Speaker 9: it is, and and you're there and they're all correct well.
- 18:58Speaker 2: And people have autio this even from just like a
- 19:02Speaker 2: layman's perspective. Think about what we just saw with the
- 19:07Speaker 2: astronauts coming back. The astronauts, a couple of them that
- 19:10Speaker 2: were up there actually were believers, and they were quoting
- 19:14Speaker 2: scripture and they were going, it's amazing to look at
- 19:17Speaker 2: this and to see how in this one spot and
- 19:19Speaker 2: how that world has to sit on its axis and
- 19:22Speaker 2: go around the Sun reliably for all this time for
- 19:27Speaker 2: human beings to exist, and not just human beings as
- 19:29Speaker 2: you're pointing out, but all of life.
- 19:31Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah, And you know, sometimes people will think about
- 19:34Speaker 9: like the bigness of the universe and be like, well,
- 19:36Speaker 9: you know, if God exists, why would he create this
- 19:38Speaker 9: universe that's billions of light years across and maybe even
- 19:42Speaker 9: billions of years old. Not to go open up another
- 19:45Speaker 9: controversial can there, but right like, why would he create
- 19:47Speaker 9: all of this just to put us on this little marble,
- 19:50Speaker 9: well marbled planet in a corner of a podunk little galaxy.
- 19:55Speaker 9: And I think that this is just you know, a
- 19:58Speaker 9: testimony to what we find in you know where in
- 20:02Speaker 9: saw me. You know when I look at the heavens,
- 20:04Speaker 9: the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,
- 20:06Speaker 9: which you've said in place, what is Man that you
- 20:09Speaker 9: are mindful of him? And the son of Man that
- 20:10Speaker 9: you care for him. It's a testimony to us of
- 20:13Speaker 9: of of what are God is like?
- 20:16Speaker 10: You know.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Oh man, we just got started and I've already got
- 20:19Speaker 2: the chills. This is going to be a great week,
- 20:21Speaker 2: Pastor Doug Becker of Emergence Church, pastor of Theology. I
- 20:25Speaker 2: can't wait to jump in a little bit more. And
- 20:27Speaker 2: if people want more information on the summer sessions that
- 20:29Speaker 2: you'll be teaching, we'll give the website for that as
- 20:32Speaker 2: we go out throughout the week as well. But thank
- 20:33Speaker 2: you for kicking us off on a good foot today.
- 20:37Speaker 8: Absolutely, it's great to be with you.
- 20:38Speaker 7: You got it.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Kevin McCulloch coming right back from Times Square.
- 20:41Speaker 4: Don't go Out's stick around for more of that.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Kevin next here he is from New York. That from Kevin,
- 21:15Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough, welcome back.
- 21:20Speaker 2: It's I'm Square, It's Kevin Pella that Kevin Show. Always
- 21:23Speaker 2: glad to have you with us. And always eager to
- 21:25Speaker 2: make a difference. By helping feed those who are hungry.
- 21:28Speaker 2: You get clean drinking water to children who do.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Not have any hell probleminmuss. Our main problem is that
- 21:40Speaker 1: we need money and we need work.
- 21:42Speaker 11: My wife and I have to go to the coast
- 21:45Speaker 11: to find work, and we have to pay a lot
- 21:47Speaker 11: of money to get there and to come back. And
- 21:49Speaker 11: what they pay us if it doesn't train, they pay
- 21:52Speaker 11: us twenty five kit salas for the day, and sometimes
- 21:55Speaker 11: by the time we work and we come back, it's
- 21:57Speaker 11: not really a lot of money. So here we are
- 22:01Speaker 11: lacking in food, We're lacking in clothing, we're.
- 22:03Speaker 7: Lacking in water.
- 22:04Speaker 11: And this house whenever it rains, not only down does
- 22:08Speaker 11: it come from all over the place, but we also
- 22:10Speaker 11: have water coming in from from the top.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Of the mountain running into the house.
- 22:25Speaker 11: My wife and I cry with them also when they cry,
- 22:28Speaker 11: because we know that we have nothing to give them
- 22:31Speaker 11: to eat.
- 22:35Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, friend, if you are able
- 22:47Speaker 2: to hear children cry.
- 22:50Speaker 7: And be unloved by it, but I can't.
- 22:53Speaker 2: It doesn't it doesn't work with me. I there's something
- 22:56Speaker 2: in me. I think it's the dad gene that just
- 22:59Speaker 2: like imediately, like literally the hairs on the back of
- 23:02Speaker 2: my neck and arms just start standing up. Because there's
- 23:04Speaker 2: something wrong. When a child is so mournful, so and
- 23:09Speaker 2: so in pain, you hear it in the whimpers and
- 23:12Speaker 2: in the cries of the children in the background there.
- 23:14Speaker 2: That is why every year, this time of year, I
- 23:19Speaker 2: am so excited that I get to partner with my friends,
- 23:22Speaker 2: and I consider them dear friends. I've been with them
- 23:26Speaker 2: for I don't know twenty years now on the air,
- 23:29Speaker 2: but going back to my Chicago days, so it's quite
- 23:32Speaker 2: a while. But we have the opportunity to come together
- 23:36Speaker 2: to tell you about not only what the need is
- 23:39Speaker 2: and to hear the cries of the babies, but to
- 23:42Speaker 2: also then be an answer to the prayer for the
- 23:45Speaker 2: mom that is facing that dilemma in this situation. For
- 23:50Speaker 2: seventy five dollars, you can feed this child some needed carbohydrates,
- 23:54Speaker 2: some needed vegetables, some needed proteins, and what they get
- 23:58Speaker 2: out of that is a year's worth of nutritional food
- 24:02Speaker 2: that's going to help them to grow, it will help
- 24:04Speaker 2: them to heal. A lot of these kids have been
- 24:07Speaker 2: so hungry for such a long time that their immune
- 24:09Speaker 2: systems are all out of whack and their bodies are
- 24:12Speaker 2: not functioning properly. But getting them on a steady diet
- 24:16Speaker 2: of simple carbohydrates and simple proteins for the next year,
- 24:19Speaker 2: you're going to see them blossom. They're going to flourish.
- 24:22Speaker 2: It's everything that we love about springtime, the dead coming
- 24:26Speaker 2: back to life, and the color of life coming out
- 24:28Speaker 2: in full force. That's what's going to happen in the
- 24:31Speaker 2: bodies of the children that we're going to bring food to.
- 24:34Speaker 2: They're literally going to go from nearly dying to being
- 24:37Speaker 2: alive and to being vibrant and to having a life
- 24:41Speaker 2: and having goals and hopes and smiles on their face again.
- 24:45Speaker 2: It's going to be an amazing thing. And then that
- 24:47Speaker 2: seventy five dollars also supplies water. Now that's important because
- 24:52Speaker 2: if you don't have clean drinking water, you'll die a
- 24:54Speaker 2: lot faster from problematic water than not having food. And
- 24:59Speaker 2: in the situations that where Food for the Poor is
- 25:02Speaker 2: serving children, the lack of clean drinking water is a
- 25:06Speaker 2: bigger problem than the lack of food. So we can
- 25:09Speaker 2: bring in purification systems. Sometimes you know portable kits that
- 25:14Speaker 2: are smaller, but sometimes larger systems that are enclosed in
- 25:18Speaker 2: concrete structures that help protect them from bad weather and
- 25:22Speaker 2: so forth. But these can pump up to ten thousand
- 25:25Speaker 2: gallons of fresh, clean, pure drinking water a day. And
- 25:28Speaker 2: if you give a gift of one point fifty, that's
- 25:30Speaker 2: going to take care of two children for the next year.
- 25:34Speaker 7: Do the math.
- 25:35Speaker 2: That's seven hundred and thirty meals for one So fourteen
- 25:40Speaker 2: hundred and sixty meals for two kids for the one
- 25:44Speaker 2: time gift of one hundred and fifty dollars, plus the
- 25:46Speaker 2: equivalent of tens of thousands of gallons of drinking water
- 25:49Speaker 2: that they're going to need for the next year. You're
- 25:52Speaker 2: supplying that all for a one time gift of one
- 25:54Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars. That's incredible. I mean, Paul, I
- 25:58Speaker 2: think about wanting to get a return on money spend
- 26:00Speaker 2: on things. Every time I go through the drive through
- 26:03Speaker 2: on Chick fil A Saturday, because they're not open on Sundays,
- 26:07Speaker 2: it costs me, you know, anywhere from forty eight to
- 26:09Speaker 2: fifty six dollars just to get the bare minimums for
- 26:12Speaker 2: what I know my family likes. That's nothing fancy, it's
- 26:14Speaker 2: just chicken sandwiches and waffle fries.
- 26:17Speaker 12: It's basically this, eleven cents a meal. Eleven cents a
- 26:21Speaker 12: meal you take you take dollar menu and insert fast
- 26:26Speaker 12: food establishment there. You're not getting anything for eleven cents.
- 26:30Speaker 12: I'm old enough to remember when you used to get
- 26:32Speaker 12: something for fifty cents out of a vending machine that
- 26:34Speaker 12: no longer exists. Eleven cents a meal, and it's not
- 26:37Speaker 12: only a meal that's going to help sustain It's not
- 26:40Speaker 12: going to just fill a belly, but it's going to
- 26:42Speaker 12: sustain life. It's going to put life back on track
- 26:45Speaker 12: for children and for families.

- 28:19Speaker 7: All right, welcome back.
- 28:20Speaker 2: It's that Kevin Show, that kevinshow dot com for all
- 28:23Speaker 2: things related, and it is the Money Monday. We're starting
- 28:27Speaker 2: to take a look at what's going on in the markets,
- 28:30Speaker 2: and last week there was a lot of crazy stuff
- 28:33Speaker 2: that took place, and that's one of the reasons why
- 28:35Speaker 2: we don't just talk about stocks or just talk about
- 28:39Speaker 2: you know, real estate, or just talk about any single
- 28:42Speaker 2: you know, facet because I still like my gold. I
- 28:46Speaker 2: like my gold and silver. I like to come back
- 28:48Speaker 2: to the to the to the products, to the commodities
- 28:53Speaker 2: that you can hold that you know that they have
- 28:54Speaker 2: real value. And there's no one I prefer to work
- 28:57Speaker 2: with more on that front than David Fisher, who's the
- 28:59Speaker 2: head of Lamb Capital, and he joins us once again. Dave,
- 29:04Speaker 2: I hope you had a great weekend. You've found reports
- 29:06Speaker 2: this weekend that say that the d dollarization is occurring
- 29:11Speaker 2: and that people are moving away from the petro dollar
- 29:14Speaker 2: and that that's on the rise. What tell us what
- 29:17Speaker 2: you found?
- 29:19Speaker 5: Yeah, well, first of all, I want to say, the
- 29:20Speaker 5: dollar is not going to collapse, but it is on
- 29:22Speaker 5: a massive decline as far as the world using it,
- 29:26Speaker 5: you know, And this is since February twenty twenty two.
- 29:30Speaker 5: China has greatly benefited from the acceleration of other countries,
- 29:35Speaker 5: a host of them using either the wand or their
- 29:39Speaker 5: own currency instead of using the dollar. At the center
- 29:42Speaker 5: of the trade mostly oil, but March China completely entered
- 29:47Speaker 5: a new energy deal with Iran, and they bought here
- 29:53Speaker 5: recently sixty five thousand tons of liquified natural gas, and
- 30:00Speaker 5: so they paid in the Wand. And other countries in
- 30:04Speaker 5: the Middle East are now part of this movement against
- 30:08Speaker 5: the dollar. Here's an interesting fact, Kevin even Israel added
- 30:12Speaker 5: wands to their foreign reserve holdings just recently. Obviously, the
- 30:16Speaker 5: Central Bank of Iraq has been doing this. They've been
- 30:19Speaker 5: wanting to trade only solely in the WAND. But there's
- 30:23Speaker 5: an entity out there called the Golf Cooperation Council. It's
- 30:27Speaker 5: an entity that was established in nineteen eighty one Kuwait, Ohman, Quatar,
- 30:33Speaker 5: Saudi Arabia, United Emirates and Baharan. These members have now
- 30:39Speaker 5: strengthened their relationship with China. They hold around six trillion
- 30:43Speaker 5: US dollars, so this is a big deal. If they
- 30:46Speaker 5: move away from holding the dollars and want to move
- 30:50Speaker 5: into solely trading or more trading in the Wand, that's
- 30:54Speaker 5: a big problem for the dollar. Goldman Sachs economists and
- 30:58Speaker 5: former Goldman Sacs economists and UK treasure Minister Jim O'Neil
- 31:03Speaker 5: argues that the war is pushing these countries now closer
- 31:07Speaker 5: to China and also India.
- 31:09Speaker 1: He says this, if the.
- 31:10Speaker 5: War has shown anything so far, it is aligning yourself
- 31:15Speaker 5: no longer with the US that provides no longer any
- 31:19Speaker 5: security guarantees. The economic opportunities offer by arising in the
- 31:25Speaker 5: Asian countries are growing more attractive by the day, and
- 31:29Speaker 5: the moving towards the wall. With that, the petro dollar
- 31:34Speaker 5: system is showing signs of cracks. Now, like I said,
- 31:38Speaker 5: we're not going to go to zero, but Iran has
- 31:41Speaker 5: been actively selling the dollar, selling oil excuse me, outside
- 31:45Speaker 5: the dollar system all the way back since as early
- 31:47Speaker 5: as two thousand and seven. But they've escalated this here recently,
- 31:52Speaker 5: and now other countries create Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates,
- 31:56Speaker 5: who roughly hold three hundred billion dollars of treasuries, they're
- 32:00Speaker 5: thinking about maybe selling those treasuries. And China is at
- 32:03Speaker 5: the center of this dedollarization. They've been pushing to dedollarize
- 32:08Speaker 5: and only sell oil and gas sells in the wand
- 32:12Speaker 5: we'll see what happens. But the dollar desolarization a trend,
- 32:17Speaker 5: is an unstoppable trend. The question is is whether how
- 32:21Speaker 5: much it will continue to go down. And that's why
- 32:24Speaker 5: gold is at the center of this whole trade here.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Well, what does that mean for people that are thinking
- 32:29Speaker 2: about their portfolios today? How does that impact us?
- 32:33Speaker 5: Well, the debt is how we service our country through
- 32:39Speaker 5: issuing more debt treasuries. And if the world does not
- 32:43Speaker 5: want to hold treasuries or we can't have the dollar
- 32:47Speaker 5: at the center of the trade called oil, which is
- 32:50Speaker 5: the biggest trade in the world and other commodities, the
- 32:54Speaker 5: dollar is now exed out of that and another currency
- 32:57Speaker 5: is being used. We don't get to support financial support
- 33:01Speaker 5: to countries buying our debt, which means the dollar has
- 33:04Speaker 5: to fall. And gold and silver's on the other side
- 33:07Speaker 5: of the teeter totter it rises, So we're on the
- 33:10Speaker 5: verge of this escalating That means gold and silver is
- 33:12Speaker 5: going to make some big moves.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Also talk about why gold survives.
- 33:17Speaker 5: Well, if you look at a twenty dollar gold piece
- 33:20Speaker 5: which was minted in the nineteen twenties and a twenty
- 33:24Speaker 5: dollar bill, they were both the same values at one point, Kevin,
- 33:28Speaker 5: which was you could buy a brand new man suit. Well,
- 33:31Speaker 5: today I can't buy a tie for twenty dollars, but
- 33:34Speaker 5: I can take a twenty dollar gold piece, liquidate it
- 33:37Speaker 5: and have five thousand dollars or forty five hundred dollars
- 33:40Speaker 5: worth of value there, turn it into cash for paper
- 33:44Speaker 5: money and buy a brand new man's suit. Still have
- 33:46Speaker 5: money left over, take my wife out to dinner. The
- 33:49Speaker 5: moral of the story is this, since we don't have
- 33:52Speaker 5: any controls in place of getting our budget, our country's
- 33:57Speaker 5: budget in line, we're going to massively overspend. That's why
- 34:01Speaker 5: the world is going towards gold. But now with this
- 34:03Speaker 5: oil thing going on, we used to protect all these countries.
- 34:06Speaker 5: Now they're fearful of that because we're controlling the Strait
- 34:09Speaker 5: of Hormuz. They're fearful that we're going to do the
- 34:13Speaker 5: same thing and control their money, just like under Biden,
- 34:16Speaker 5: wondering what's going to happen next? Is their money in
- 34:20Speaker 5: dollars save, so they're moving out of dollars. So that's
- 34:23Speaker 5: why you can look at the numbers here here to date,
- 34:26Speaker 5: the DOW, the nest deck, and the SMP are flat.
- 34:29Speaker 5: But gold is up ten percent year to date and
- 34:31Speaker 5: silver is up six percent. So the moral of the
- 34:34Speaker 5: story is this is not going to change or the
- 34:36Speaker 5: war will come to an end, but for diversify.
- 34:40Speaker 2: Yeah, so, friends, as the reason I asked that follow
- 34:43Speaker 2: up questions. I wanted Dave to explain all that the
- 34:45Speaker 2: value of gold continues to rise even in the midst
- 34:49Speaker 2: of all of this uncertainty, and that's why you really
- 34:51Speaker 2: need to be talking to him about how to diversify
- 34:55Speaker 2: your portfolio. Gets some of your portfolio protected in gold
- 34:59Speaker 2: and silk, Get put some hedge in there against whatever
- 35:03Speaker 2: moves the rest of your portfolio makes. And there's no
- 35:06Speaker 2: one that does it better than Landmark Capital. I've been

- 35:52Speaker 13: Kevin next serving it up with a no drink min
- 36:08Speaker 13: It's that Kevin Show.
- 36:12Speaker 2: All right, welcome back, It's that Kevin Show. Very glad
- 36:15Speaker 2: to have you with us. We still have a big
- 36:17Speaker 2: second hour straight ahead, and I want to say thank
- 36:19Speaker 2: you to those of you that have done your part
- 36:22Speaker 2: and been so generous in helping us get these children
- 36:26Speaker 2: fed and given clean drinking water for the coming year.
- 36:31Speaker 2: I just I'm touched by the outpouring of support and
- 36:34Speaker 2: everything that you've done, the way you continue to do this.
- 36:38Speaker 2: We passed our goal of seven hundred and twenty children
- 36:41Speaker 2: and we are now headed towards the goal of one
- 36:44Speaker 2: thousand children that we would like to help for the year.
- 36:47Speaker 2: And every one of these kids is in need, desperate,
- 36:50Speaker 2: desperate need of clean drinking water and two meals a day,
- 36:55Speaker 2: all of which can be delivered for one child, for
- 36:58Speaker 2: one child, and I'll be delivered for the cost of
- 37:01Speaker 2: seventy five dollars. Seventy five dollars gives a child seven
- 37:06Speaker 2: hundred and thirty meals for the coming year and all
- 37:09Speaker 2: the clean drinking water that they can handle. Seventy five
- 37:12Speaker 2: dollars does that, and I just I want to say
- 37:14Speaker 2: thank you to those of you that have been so generous,
- 37:17Speaker 2: because it has just shown through in ways that I
- 37:20Speaker 2: don't think anybody expected. And when we're talking about, you know,
- 37:27Speaker 2: the number of kids that we've helped, and I just
- 37:29Speaker 2: want to do the math real quick. Here, we're talking
- 37:35Speaker 2: about having helped seven hundred and eighty three kids thus far,
- 37:43Speaker 2: and that's just that's just so encouraging, so unbelievable, and
- 37:49Speaker 2: so wonderful to be able to look back and say, hey,
- 37:52Speaker 2: seven hundred and eighty four kids have been helped because
- 37:54Speaker 2: people were generous, people listened to the Holy Spirit talking
- 37:57Speaker 2: to their heart and saying, hey, we want to a difference.
- 38:01Speaker 2: That means there's two hundred and sixteen kids left that
- 38:05Speaker 2: we could still help, and we have until the end
- 38:07Speaker 2: of this month, so there's no reason why we can't
- 38:10Speaker 2: do this. Seventy five dollars will help feed one of
- 38:14Speaker 2: them two meals per day for the coming year, seven
- 38:16Speaker 2: hundred and thirty meals, and give them all the clean
- 38:20Speaker 2: drinking water they can handle. And the clean drinking water
- 38:22Speaker 2: is more important than the food in most regards. And
- 38:26Speaker 2: then to add to that not just one meal like
- 38:28Speaker 2: a lot of feeding programs do, but to actually do
- 38:31Speaker 2: two meals a day and to give them the carbohydrates
- 38:35Speaker 2: and the proteins and the vitamins that they need. Those
- 38:38Speaker 2: are the three most important things their body needs.
- 38:40Speaker 7: If you've been.
- 38:40Speaker 2: Severely malnourished and starving, your body needs building blocks, and
- 38:46Speaker 2: simple carbohydrates and simple proteins start building the cells. And
- 38:50Speaker 2: then you add vitamins to that and you get kind
- 38:52Speaker 2: of an immune build up as well. And now you're
- 38:55Speaker 2: talking about a kid that can actually grow. And when
- 38:58Speaker 2: they can grow, they can go to school. And when
- 39:00Speaker 2: they can go to school, they can learn. And when
- 39:01Speaker 2: they learn, they can achieve more than the parents before them.
- 39:04Speaker 2: And many of them returned back to the places where
- 39:07Speaker 2: they grew up to help make the world a better
- 39:09Speaker 2: place for him. It is a wonderful program. My wife

- 43:27Speaker 2: and I'm so grateful for it, so thank you for
- 43:29Speaker 2: letting me. Over the weekend, you may have noticed everything shifted.
- 43:36Speaker 2: The same voices that spent the last two weeks warning
- 43:39Speaker 2: about it forever war suddenly went quiet as events on
- 43:41Speaker 2: the ground and at sea moved faster than their narratives
- 43:44Speaker 2: could keep up. With military pressure, intensified, negotiations that had
- 43:51Speaker 2: been quietly underway through intermediaries like Pakistan stalled out. And
- 43:56Speaker 2: then came the announcement that changed the whole equation. Today,
- 43:59Speaker 2: President Trump ordering a blockade of Iranian ports. Now that
- 44:07Speaker 2: wasn't just another move on the board. That was the
- 44:11Speaker 2: board flipping over, Because if you trace the timeline honestly,
- 44:16Speaker 2: the story becomes really clear. The United States applied decisive
- 44:21Speaker 2: military pressure, Iran's capabilities took a significant hit. Diplomatic channels opened,
- 44:28Speaker 2: some of them quietly, some of them through regional partners,
- 44:31Speaker 2: trying to broke her way out. And then Iran did
- 44:33Speaker 2: what it's done for decades. It said no, it's stalled,
- 44:38Speaker 2: it delayed, it rejected. They had a chance to de escalate,
- 44:42Speaker 2: they chose not to. And that choice is what made
- 44:46Speaker 2: today's announcement by the President for a blockade inevitable. Let
- 44:51Speaker 2: me be clear about this. Let's look at what it
- 44:55Speaker 2: is and what it isn't. This is not escalation for
- 44:58Speaker 2: the sake of escalation. This this is not a march
- 45:00Speaker 2: towards some drawn out conflict. This is what happens when
- 45:05Speaker 2: a regime is given an off ramp and refuses to
- 45:07Speaker 2: take it. You can't keep offering the same exit indefinitely.
- 45:12Speaker 2: At some point you change the pressure, and that's exactly
- 45:15Speaker 2: what the president did. This blockade is not symbolic. In fact,
- 45:20Speaker 2: it's one of the most concrete, immediate forms of leverage
- 45:24Speaker 2: that he could muster up short of the rest of
- 45:29Speaker 2: a full scale war. It doesn't ask for compliance, it
- 45:34Speaker 2: will enforce consequences for lack of compliance, and in Iran's case,
- 45:40Speaker 2: those consequences strike at the heart of how the regime
- 45:43Speaker 2: even survives. We were told this would spiral, We were
- 45:48Speaker 2: told this would drag on. We were told there was
- 45:50Speaker 2: no strategy. But what we're watching unfold in front of
- 45:54Speaker 2: us is not chaos. Its sequence. Here's the sequence. Pressure applied,
- 46:00Speaker 2: opportunity given, opportunity rejected, pressure increased. If you think about it,
- 46:10Speaker 2: this is what you do with your.
- 46:11Speaker 7: Kids as a good parent.
- 46:14Speaker 2: You say, hey, I really want you to do well.
- 46:18Speaker 2: Then you give them the opportunity to do well, and
- 46:21Speaker 2: they go blow a hole in the opportunity. You come
- 46:24Speaker 2: back and you say you need to do better than that,
- 46:27Speaker 2: and until you are, you're going to have less of
- 46:32Speaker 2: this opportunity, less of that. You force the pressure into
- 46:36Speaker 2: the vein and the mold of what you need.
- 46:40Speaker 7: Now.
- 46:40Speaker 2: Later in the broader reality inside Iran, a regime that's
- 46:44Speaker 2: already understrained, its economy being battered by years of sanctions
- 46:49Speaker 2: and internal corruption, public unrest simmering and boiling over repeatedly,
- 46:54Speaker 2: younger generations increasingly willing to accept the status quo. The
- 46:59Speaker 2: government has responded with crackdowns and arrests and executions. And
- 47:04Speaker 2: that was all before this weekend. Now, add failed negotiations
- 47:09Speaker 2: and a maritime chokehold to the mix. Trade slows, revenue slows.
- 47:15Speaker 2: Pressure builds not just from the outside but now from within.
- 47:21Speaker 2: Regimes like this don't collapse when things are easy. They
- 47:24Speaker 2: collapse when they are squeezed from both directions. And that's
- 47:28Speaker 2: what the blockade does. It doesn't just send a message
- 47:31Speaker 2: to leadership. It creates a reality that the population can
- 47:34Speaker 2: actually feel. And that's the part the Iatola should fear
- 47:37Speaker 2: the most because they can posture toward Washington, they can
- 47:41Speaker 2: issue statements, they can reject terms, but they cannot easily
- 47:44Speaker 2: explain to their own people why conditions are getting worse,
- 47:48Speaker 2: Why opportunities to de escalate were rejected, why the situation
- 47:52Speaker 2: continues to deteriorate. That's where regimes lose control, not on
- 47:58Speaker 2: the battlefield, in the streets. Now, none of this guarantees
- 48:04Speaker 2: a specific outcome. Iran could still escalate further, it could
- 48:10Speaker 2: double down, it could miscalculate again. But what it can
- 48:15Speaker 2: no longer do is pretend that time is on its side.
- 48:19Speaker 2: The blockade ends that illusion. It forces decisions. It's going
- 48:23Speaker 2: to compress timelines. It removes the comfort of delaying. And
- 48:27Speaker 2: that is exactly what the weekend gave us. Not a
- 48:31Speaker 2: forever war. This is the opposite of a forever war.
- 48:36Speaker 2: This is what happens when strength is applied with clarity
- 48:40Speaker 2: and followed through with when the other side refuses to respond.
- 48:45Speaker 2: The Iatolas had a chance, They had many chances. They
- 48:50Speaker 2: were given an opening, a huge one, the whole world watching.
- 48:56Speaker 2: They chose to ignore it, and now, for the first
- 49:00Speaker 2: time in a long time, no doesn't buy them time,
- 49:03Speaker 2: it's going to buy them consequences. That's my thought on
- 49:08Speaker 2: today's announcement that the blockade will go into effect. My
- 49:11Speaker 2: bride came into the kitchen as I was getting the
- 49:14Speaker 2: kids out the door for school, and she was like,
- 49:18Speaker 2: what does it all mean? And I said, if you
- 49:20Speaker 2: can't sell your oil, you can't sell your liquid natural
- 49:24Speaker 2: gas to China, you have no money. If you have
- 49:28Speaker 2: no money, you can't pay your thugs. If you can't
- 49:30Speaker 2: pay your thugs, you don't have protection. And the Iranian
- 49:34Speaker 2: people do not want these guys. So what does that mean? Well,
- 49:43Speaker 2: in all likelihood, it means that they're gonna they're going
- 49:46Speaker 2: to be met with not two gracious ends here, and
- 49:51Speaker 2: they won't have anybody to blame except themselves because the president.
- 49:58Speaker 2: The president has not stuttered. He doesn't he's exceptionally easy
- 50:04Speaker 2: to understand. But like so many left us here in
- 50:09Speaker 2: the country, in our country that despise him for that,
- 50:15Speaker 2: the Malas in Iran think that they're going to get
- 50:19Speaker 2: off scott free. It's looking increasingly like that will not
- 50:24Speaker 2: be the case. And I would be in favor of
- 50:27Speaker 2: putting an end to it in exactly that fashion. All Right,
- 50:31Speaker 2: Kevin mccallough. When we come back, we're gonna get some
- 50:33Speaker 2: military perspective on this. Mike Garcia, if America First Policy
- 50:37Speaker 2: Institute joins us. Former F eighteen Super Hornet captain and
- 50:42Speaker 2: longtime congressman and businessman.
- 50:43Speaker 7: Stay here.
- 51:00Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. Fact Kevin, Kevin McCullough,
- 51:06Speaker 1: Welcome back.
- 51:07Speaker 2: To that Kevin Show from Times Square.
- 51:09Speaker 7: Glad to have you with us.
- 51:10Speaker 2: Thank you to the Salem Media group that has us
- 51:12Speaker 2: now on like seven hundred stations Monday through Sunday across
- 51:16Speaker 2: the country. And we are so excited to be able
- 51:19Speaker 2: to bring really expert guests on to talk about the
- 51:24Speaker 2: issues that you care about and what's going on in
- 51:26Speaker 2: the world. And my next guest is no slouch. Mike Garcia,
- 51:30Speaker 2: first generation American, served as nation in combat. He's a
- 51:34Speaker 2: Navy guy, flew the Super Hornet, he has seen it all.
- 51:38Speaker 2: But he's also served in Congress. He's a businessman. He's
- 51:42Speaker 2: a native of California. What that state's gone through in
- 51:46Speaker 2: just recent years. I think people that you know still
- 51:48Speaker 2: have their head held high have to have like a
- 51:51Speaker 2: medal of honor or something.
- 51:52Speaker 7: But Mike it's good to see again. Thanks for coming back.
- 51:54Speaker 14: Good and good to see you a Kevin. Yeah, we've
- 51:56Speaker 14: been paying seven dollars a gallon of guests out.
- 51:58Speaker 1: Here for several years. Regards what's going on in the middle.
- 52:01Speaker 2: It's really sad that your governor is like the dumbest
- 52:06Speaker 2: man on the planet, but he thinks he's the smartest.
- 52:09Speaker 2: And then the guy that I think they were getting
- 52:11Speaker 2: ready to, you know, crown in his place, mister sip Olwell,
- 52:16Speaker 2: is just a rascal. Like there's you think of, like
- 52:20Speaker 2: the fact that Ronald Reagan came from California, and man,
- 52:23Speaker 2: have we fallen off since then?
- 52:25Speaker 1: We have fallen fallen quite aways here so.
- 52:29Speaker 2: From there, like so this is something that's very personal
- 52:32Speaker 2: to us. And you know, she she's like, can we
- 52:34Speaker 2: ever move back? I'm like no, I mean she.
- 52:37Speaker 7: Goes, but the weather, I said, yeah, But that's.
- 52:39Speaker 2: The only thing. The politics, the business environment, it's all.
- 52:42Speaker 7: It's all.
- 52:43Speaker 2: But that's what happens when you have one party government,
- 52:46Speaker 2: and that's what you guys are wrestling through now.
- 52:48Speaker 7: So we're going to keep it.
- 52:49Speaker 1: And I want to just make a quick point on that.
- 52:50Speaker 14: You know, I'm chair at the America First Policy Institute.
- 52:54Speaker 14: And one of the things in California especially is that
- 52:57Speaker 14: the goal isn't necessarily to save California, but it's to
- 53:00Speaker 14: prevent the country from turning into California. And I think
- 53:03Speaker 14: that's why the other forty nine states need to pay
- 53:05Speaker 14: attention to what's going on here.
- 53:07Speaker 3: Uh.
- 53:08Speaker 14: And newsome may be uploaded to the federal level here
- 53:11Speaker 14: and become everyone's problem if we don't pay attention.
- 53:13Speaker 1: So that's that's put the right light out here on it.
- 53:15Speaker 2: What is just like to have such utter failure in
- 53:19Speaker 2: a human being and to walk around and to pretend
- 53:22Speaker 2: like it's nothing but a success. I mean it really
- 53:25Speaker 2: is naked emperor with no I mean the emperor with
- 53:27Speaker 2: no clothes.
- 53:28Speaker 14: Yeah, and it's it's full blown hubris. I mean the
- 53:31Speaker 14: guy is arant there's no excellence. So's it's just arrogance.
- 53:36Speaker 14: And you know, eat out's the California being the fourth
- 53:38Speaker 14: or fifth largest GDP on the planet, but we should
- 53:41Speaker 14: be the third second maybe even if if things were
- 53:44Speaker 14: done correctly in the exodus, the population loss here, the
- 53:46Speaker 14: business is leaving, uh, even even liberal businesses are leaving
- 53:50Speaker 14: California now because it's it's it's insufferable.
- 53:53Speaker 2: So well, when your little smeltfish prevented the Palisades.
- 53:56Speaker 1: From that's right, surviving absolutely harp.
- 53:59Speaker 2: That tells you everything you need to know about priorities
- 54:01Speaker 2: and they're they're really a mess. So we're going to
- 54:04Speaker 2: keep praying for California every single day. I got a
- 54:06Speaker 2: lot of family there, So it's.
- 54:07Speaker 7: Just it's hard.
- 54:09Speaker 2: You're a navy guy, you were in a Operation Iraqi Freedom.
- 54:13Speaker 2: I'm sure that the people that you're talking to have
- 54:16Speaker 2: a lot of opinions about epic fury and what we've
- 54:19Speaker 2: done so far and how it's gone. The only posture
- 54:22Speaker 2: for the Iranians is to show up basically say I'm
- 54:25Speaker 2: really sorry, we shouldn't have done any of this stuff. Please,
- 54:30Speaker 2: you know, show mercy to us, and we'll do whatever
- 54:33Speaker 2: you ask. And the exact opposite happen. It's like they
- 54:36Speaker 2: have no real idea or real clue of how to
- 54:38Speaker 2: read the room at all. And the difference is they're
- 54:41Speaker 2: they're now reading the room assuming that the president is
- 54:44Speaker 2: going to act like past presidents have. That's a bad assumption,
- 54:48Speaker 2: and that they're going to somehow escape through this. What
- 54:51Speaker 2: what do you make of what you're watching play out
- 54:53Speaker 2: in front of you.
- 54:54Speaker 1: Mike, Yeah, I mean you nailed it on the head, Ken.
- 54:57Speaker 14: You've got an isolated, you know, tyrannical regime with no
- 55:00Speaker 14: opposition force that has been operating under this construct that
- 55:04Speaker 14: they can do whatever they want to their country through
- 55:06Speaker 14: their power. Families truly, truly are at a whole new
- 55:10Speaker 14: level with the capability and the funding frankly to develop
- 55:13Speaker 14: nuclear weapons, right, which is why this operation up at
- 55:16Speaker 14: Fury began. They got to a point within days, maybe
- 55:20Speaker 14: a couple of weeks of what's called nuclear breakout timing,
- 55:22Speaker 14: which is the ability to get to ninety percent uranium enrichment.
- 55:26Speaker 14: So that was the reason for this this you know,
- 55:29Speaker 14: operation getting kicked off. And it's a very noble, very
- 55:32Speaker 14: necessary mission, I'm sure, something that the President didn't take
- 55:35Speaker 14: lightly and didn't want to do, but you know how
- 55:38Speaker 14: much in his war like he is the President of
- 55:41Speaker 14: peace and you know, but this this would have been
- 55:44Speaker 14: the ultimate, you know, catalyst for instability globally if we
- 55:50Speaker 14: had a nuclear armed Iran, right, So.
- 55:52Speaker 1: This had to be done tactically.
- 55:53Speaker 14: I'd say the execution of the operation now going into
- 55:57Speaker 14: six weeks, has been done flawssy by our military. There'sen hiccups,
- 55:59Speaker 14: there's been lessons learned, there's been ways to get better.
- 56:02Speaker 14: That's true for any combat operation I've seen at firsthand.
- 56:05Speaker 2: But Kudo's wanted to ask you about that specifically because
- 56:08Speaker 2: when you look at how efficient Epic Fury was, it
- 56:12Speaker 2: just seems to me like it was a whole different
- 56:14Speaker 2: level of execution.
- 56:15Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 56:16Speaker 14: I mean, we've had really forty seven years, but frankly
- 56:18Speaker 14: in earnest fifteen years to put a plan in the
- 56:21Speaker 14: can against Iran, right, Iraq was a different story. Relatively
- 56:25Speaker 14: short lead times. Strategically, we didn't have the clear objectives,
- 56:29Speaker 14: you know, it was sort of this ambiguous thing under
- 56:31Speaker 14: the administration then about why we were there, what we
- 56:33Speaker 14: were doing. You had the President and get on an
- 56:34Speaker 14: aircraft carrier saying, you know, declaring victory basically after a
- 56:38Speaker 14: few weeks, and then it got really blurry after that.
- 56:40Speaker 14: We don't have those condition sets. We knew exactly how
- 56:43Speaker 14: to take down Iran. We knew the location of their
- 56:46Speaker 14: nuclear infrastructure facilities, which was target number one. We knew
- 56:49Speaker 14: for the most part, the locations of their short range
- 56:51Speaker 14: and medium range ballistic missiles, so the flawless execution of
- 56:55Speaker 14: our military. Unfortunately, we lost some service members along the way,
- 56:58Speaker 14: so we think them and their service all folks in uniform.
- 57:03Speaker 14: But the actions of our of our troops is what
- 57:06Speaker 14: gave our negotiation team the leverage at the table over
- 57:11Speaker 14: the weekend, and and you know, all the wars ended
- 57:14Speaker 14: a table.
- 57:14Speaker 1: Unfortunately.
- 57:15Speaker 14: One of the condition sets needed for negotiating a peace
- 57:18Speaker 14: agreement UH is to have rational actors on both.
- 57:22Speaker 1: Sides of the table.
- 57:22Speaker 14: And to your point that you started with, Kevin, I
- 57:25Speaker 14: don't think the leadership of the Iranian regime are are
- 57:28Speaker 14: rational actors. I don't think they're motivated by what we
- 57:31Speaker 14: would consider UH normal you know, inspirations and motivations. They're
- 57:36Speaker 14: not rational. They don't care frankly about the the the
- 57:40Speaker 14: existence or the continued existence of their population. They do
- 57:44Speaker 14: treat this like an existential threat, but only against their
- 57:48Speaker 14: power and to their fundamentalist regime beliefs, not to their country,
- 57:52Speaker 14: not to their resources.
- 57:53Speaker 2: And certainly is because they believe that they're doing allahs
- 57:58Speaker 2: will yes, that they're okay with all dying too, Like yeah,
- 58:03Speaker 2: so why should their people who aren't really their people?
- 58:06Speaker 2: But why should their people be any other more concern
- 58:09Speaker 2: than they are. Like if they all die, they all die.
- 58:11Speaker 2: That's kind of that's kind of how they're approaching this.
- 58:14Speaker 14: Yeah, and they're actually incentivized by martyrdom, right, not necessarily themselves,
- 58:17Speaker 14: but they're happy to offer up proxies, as they would say,
- 58:21Speaker 14: and I would say, there's no such thing as proxies.
- 58:23Speaker 14: The houthis, famas hesbela, these are part of Iran tentacles.
- 58:27Speaker 14: They're all one and the same. But they do relish
- 58:29Speaker 14: in martyrdom, so they're not motivated by death. They actually
- 58:32Speaker 14: are one of their measures of merit. For instance, the
- 58:34Speaker 14: houthis in Yemen is how many rockets, so many missiles
- 58:39Speaker 14: are expended on them as a result of their actions
- 58:42Speaker 14: of disruption. Right, So when you have a mentality like that,
- 58:46Speaker 14: it's tough to negotiate with. This is why the old
- 58:48Speaker 14: mantra don't negotiate with terrorists exists because they're motivated by
- 58:52Speaker 14: different things. Now, what they are motivated by or are
- 58:57Speaker 14: not only the things that we've been cranking, which is
- 59:00Speaker 14: the kinetic and the military, But the biggest fear of
- 59:03Speaker 14: the Iranian regime is frankly losing the power, and that
- 59:07Speaker 14: comes in the form of oil that's in the fifty
- 59:10Speaker 14: to fifty five dollars a barrel range, or the inability
- 59:15Speaker 14: to sell oil if the prices are high.
- 59:18Speaker 1: Which is obviously what we see right.
- 59:19Speaker 14: Now, and any sort of organic or internal uprising, insurgencies, revolutions,
- 59:26Speaker 14: whatever you want to call it, within their population. They
- 59:28Speaker 14: don't want to experience another Arab spring within their own borders.
- 59:32Speaker 14: So there's these non kinetic, what I would call asymmetric
- 59:35Speaker 14: moves that we still have at our disposal, and I
- 59:39Speaker 14: think that's what this blockade is going to yield. We're
- 59:41Speaker 14: going to see the economic stranglehold be put on the
- 59:44Speaker 14: Iranian regime.
- 59:45Speaker 1: Here by not allowing them to get.
- 59:48Speaker 14: Their oil out, to not allow them to get their supplies.
- 59:51Speaker 1: In, and hopefully we still free.
- 59:54Speaker 14: Up the passage at some level so the rest of
- 59:56Speaker 14: the world isn't being taxed at the current levels that
- 59:58Speaker 14: they are. This is the result of an irrational actor
- 1:00:02Speaker 14: showing up to a negotiation table as if it was
- 1:00:04Speaker 14: a Persian rug negotiation. This wasn't a courtship. They weren't
- 1:00:09Speaker 14: meant to be there for two weeks now. The table
- 1:00:10Speaker 14: will be available to them at some point again, I'm
- 1:00:13Speaker 14: sure that's the nature of the United States and rational actors,
- 1:00:16Speaker 14: but they've got to come in good faith and with
- 1:00:18Speaker 14: a willingness to open the straits, stop the nuclear program,
- 1:00:23Speaker 14: and commit to not supporting terestra organizations.
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: It's really telling that we're not insisting upon even actual
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: regime change. I want the Iranian people to be able
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: to have the government that they want, and so if
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: they can rise up and take it and restructure it
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: and do what they wish, I would wish them every blessing.
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: But Trump's being practical like he was in Venezuela, and
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: he thinks that at some point they're going to find
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: someone that they can work with who is reliable. But
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: I'm not sure it's any of this current group because
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: it's kind of nutty.
- 1:01:00Speaker 14: Yeah, that's the biggest challenge the President's had and the administration. Frankly,
- 1:01:03Speaker 14: you know this is this would be true for any
- 1:01:06Speaker 14: administration in this situation. The challenges mid defining that cut line,
- 1:01:10Speaker 14: right when do I stop killing their leadership and when
- 1:01:14Speaker 14: do I start negotiating with their leadership? And that spectrum
- 1:01:17Speaker 14: is still not to be defined. The guys that when
- 1:01:20Speaker 14: we decided to pause the operations and go sit down
- 1:01:23Speaker 14: at the table. Clearly, those guys demonstrated that they probably
- 1:01:26Speaker 14: aren't the ones to negotiate with, So you know, what
- 1:01:28Speaker 14: do you do with them?
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: That's that's the question, all right. Mike Garcia of the
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: America First Policies to doing a great job.
- 1:01:34Speaker 7: Thank you for being with us. We appreciate it.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: Thank you, I appreciate you.
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: Kevin mccaullaugh coming back from Time Square.
- 1:01:40Speaker 13: Let's stick around for more fat Kevin next.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. That Kevin McCall.
- 1:02:11Speaker 7: Yeah, Yes, I always worry about the collisions.
- 1:02:13Speaker 8: So that's the water.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: Is this infernment. Sometimes in winter they get sick.
- 1:02:21Speaker 5: They might get diarrhea, they might get stomach ache, and
- 1:02:24Speaker 5: I believe that is because of the war collisions that
- 1:02:27Speaker 5: they have.
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: I don't think that there's anybody on the planet that
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: can argue that being sick from bad water is a
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: bad experience. And if you've ever been in a foreign country,
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: if you've ever been in a place where the water
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: supply is not sound, and you've experienced that, you know,
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: just on an average basis, what it is like to
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: be sick from that. But can you imagine that type
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: of water being the only water supply you have. Well,
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: that is the case in thousands of little lives throughout
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: Central and Latin America, South America, Haiti, some of the
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: countries where Food for the poores at work. And the
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: reason that we are bringing this to your attention right
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: now is because it is important to know that every
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: one of the children that we help with Food for
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: the Poor this year is not just going to receive
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: a year's worth of food with two meals per day
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: for the next three hundred and sixty five days, but
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: they're going to get clean drinking water. They're going to
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: have access to clean drinking water. Here from Food for
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: the Poor to discuss is Danny Patino who rejoins us
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: and Danny, when I think of contaminated water, I almost
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: think of this as a bigger crisis, a more urgent
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: crisis than the lack of food. It takes you longer
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: to starve to death than it does to drink really
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: bad water and have your whole system be flushed with
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: dehydration and your body rejecting it and emptying out of
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: all of the moisture that you have. And this is
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: what contaminated water leads to deaths from dehydration more than
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: anything else. So it's a really, really bad had deal.
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: But the fact that we give clean drinking water access
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: to clean drinking water, every one of these kids were
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: helping today, that's really an amazing thing.
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: And you said it best yourself.
- 1:04:10Speaker 15: It can make you sick and you're already sick, Then
- 1:04:13Speaker 15: where do we go? What's the next step?
- 1:04:15Speaker 7: Right?
- 1:04:15Speaker 15: So clean water should be all right, we understand that,
- 1:04:18Speaker 15: but for millions that we serve here at Food for
- 1:04:21Speaker 15: the Poor, it's a risk. And we're talking about water
- 1:04:24Speaker 15: that doesn't quench a thirst. It makes you sick, It
- 1:04:27Speaker 15: creates sickness, and that water steals childhoods. And we heard
- 1:04:32Speaker 15: there are Maria we met in Guatemala. She just thinks
- 1:04:36Speaker 15: about what's going to make them sick if I drink
- 1:04:39Speaker 15: them water, not the other way around, where I want
- 1:04:41Speaker 15: to quench their thirst and move on with life. Right,
- 1:04:45Speaker 15: that we usually do here in the States because we
- 1:04:46Speaker 15: don't have to think about that kind of water. We
- 1:04:49Speaker 15: probably drink the bottled water that sits in our car
- 1:04:52Speaker 15: in the sun for a couple of days because we
- 1:04:53Speaker 15: know it's clean and we know we can drink it
- 1:04:56Speaker 15: and that's the kind of luxury that we live here.
- 1:04:59Speaker 15: And by the life, I mean it is a luxury
- 1:05:02Speaker 15: for these families that we're helping in Latin America and
- 1:05:04Speaker 15: the Caribbean. And chronic diarrhea isn't just a symptom. It's
- 1:05:08Speaker 15: a thief. It steals nutrition from hungry children. It steals
- 1:05:13Speaker 15: days from school. Imagine I even being able to go
- 1:05:15Speaker 15: to school because you're sick, and on top of that
- 1:05:18Speaker 15: and not be able to feed your kids to get
- 1:05:21Speaker 15: them back to health. So that way, maybe you can
- 1:05:23Speaker 15: get your routine going. And that routine is broken right away.
- 1:05:26Speaker 15: And this is that strength that withers away on families
- 1:05:30Speaker 15: that are already struggling. And this can be preventable, and
- 1:05:34Speaker 15: it really is. And that's why I'm here today to
- 1:05:35Speaker 15: tell you that you can step into those lives of
- 1:05:37Speaker 15: those families with a one time gift, and that one
- 1:05:39Speaker 15: time gift becomes a daily gift for these families, for
- 1:05:42Speaker 15: the children that are already going through malnourishment. This becomes
- 1:05:46Speaker 15: a meal that finally gets them back on their feet.
- 1:05:49Speaker 15: Water that is no longer contamidated, it's safe water. Water
- 1:05:53Speaker 15: they can use for many, many other things other than drinking. Finally,
- 1:05:56Speaker 15: you can cook with this, you can bathe with this,
- 1:05:58Speaker 15: you can use it, and you know that it's not
- 1:06:00Speaker 15: going to come back and become something worse. And that's
- 1:06:04Speaker 15: the choice that a parent should not make. They should
- 1:06:08Speaker 15: Their choices would be what kind of meal are we
- 1:06:10Speaker 15: having today? What what cool adventure are we going to
- 1:06:13Speaker 15: go on today? And that's the goal that we were
- 1:06:16Speaker 15: trying to provide with the one time gift that we
- 1:06:19Speaker 15: were asking here, Well, one time gift, the one hundred
- 1:06:21Speaker 15: and fifty dollars, like you said, it becomes a world
- 1:06:23Speaker 15: of change, three hundred and sixty five days of relief
- 1:06:27Speaker 15: for these families.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: If you think about this, friends, and I would really
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: beg of you to consider that one hundred and fifty
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: dollars seventy five dollars per child is not only going
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: to feed them two meals a day for the coming year,
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: but that it's going to give them access to clean
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: drinking water. Now do you think they need probably more
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: than eight or sixteen ounces whatever your little water bottle
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: is that you buy, you know, from the vending machine,
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: or you get it from the from the Walgreens or
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: wherever you go.
- 1:06:58Speaker 7: You know, you grab a bottle of water.
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: Even if you get it from the Sam's Club or
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: the you know whatever else the discount buyer shop, and
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: you get the big crate, they're still what a dollar
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: fifty each or something like that, dollar twenty five maybe
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: where you can go. Imagine having to supply water for
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: a child for an entire year, and they're going to
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: need more than eight ounces a day. They're going to
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: need a lot more than eight ounces of water a day.
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: You're supposed to drink half your body weight in water
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: each day just to be healthy. So think about that
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: and then do that math. You're talking about several hundred
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: dollars just for clean water for one child. And here's
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: the thing, this is the beautiful kind of multiplying effect
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: of food for the poor. You give your gift of
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: seventy five dollars for that child, they're going to get
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: over seven hundred meals for the next year. And in addition,
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: they're going to get literally hundreds, if not thousands of
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: dollars worth of clean drinking water. When you put a
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: dollar amount on it, when you understand what that cost,
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: what it would cost you to bring it into your
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: home to gift to your kids, to have your family.
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: Imagine that cost, but imagine now the efficiency of having
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: seventy five dollars provide all of that for one child
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: for the next year. So one hundred and fifty dollars
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: takes care of two kids. Now listen to me very
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: carefully for the next ten minutes. Every child that we
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: take care of, every seventy five dollars gift, every one
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars gift that comes in, every gift
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: of any size, is going to be doubled. The match
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: that we have on right now is going to double
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: the number of kids that will be served through your gift.
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: So if you have not yet done it, this is
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: the time to do it, because you're going to serve
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: twice as many people. You're going to do the maximum
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: amount of good. We talk about this a lot. Is
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: it Is it good to do a good thing?
- 1:08:51Speaker 7: Yes? Is it better to do a maximum good thing? Yes?
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: And this is the maximum good You give a gift
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: of one hundred and fifty dollars instead of helping two children,
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: which is what will actually cost food for the poor
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: out of pocket to do that.
- 1:09:05Speaker 7: That's what it costs them.
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: They're not making any money on this are they are
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: serving kids at great efficiency. So one hundred and fifty
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: dollars that's what it costs. But now it's going to
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: be four kids instead of two because of this matching challenge.
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: We need you to step up and do the maximum
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: good right now eight five five nine oh seven four
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: six seven three. Can also text hunger to five one
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: five five five friends, be a miracle in another child's
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: life right now eight five five nine zero seven four
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: six seven three. Text the word hunger to five to
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: one five five five, or go to that kevinshow dot com.
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: Here he is from New York, that Kevin Kevin McCullough.
- 1:10:08Speaker 7: All right, welcome back.
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: It's the Monday edition of that Kevin Show, that kevinshow
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: dot com for everything related. We don't put anything behind
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: a paywall because we want you to have access to it.
- 1:10:19Speaker 7: And it is Monday.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: So we talk about money and Hillary a lot, writing
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: on the you know, events of the world and so forth.
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: But we we we shouldn't forget good old fashioned like
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: things like dividend stocks, because these are where you can
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: still help yourself even in turbulent times.
- 1:10:36Speaker 16: That's right.
- 1:10:37Speaker 10: It's so important to have the dividend yield. It really
- 1:10:41Speaker 10: matters when you have a portfolio. You have a good
- 1:10:44Speaker 10: company that is rising, let's say, five percent a year
- 1:10:48Speaker 10: to ten percent a year, even if it only makes
- 1:10:50Speaker 10: two percent a year in terms of the underlying value.
- 1:10:52Speaker 16: But you get a four percent dividend.
- 1:10:54Speaker 10: Yield every year, well, it starts to add up really quickly.
- 1:10:58Speaker 10: So let me just give you a Let me just
- 1:11:00Speaker 10: give you a list here of stocks and give you
- 1:11:03Speaker 10: what kind of divity and yield you should expect from them.
- 1:11:05Speaker 16: All sure, okay, okay, so let's start.
- 1:11:09Speaker 10: Let's start right here, and we're gonna start.
- 1:11:13Speaker 16: With Omnicom Group. Okay. So, Omnicom Group is an advertising company.
- 1:11:21Speaker 10: And UH and one of the only ones that's left
- 1:11:24Speaker 10: from the mad Man day mad mad Man days. But
- 1:11:27Speaker 10: they've learned how to be very into AI and how
- 1:11:33Speaker 10: to use UH and how to use the social.
- 1:11:35Speaker 16: Media platforms and uh, you know what you can get.
- 1:11:39Speaker 10: You can get a nice dividend here on Omnicom about
- 1:11:42Speaker 10: four point two percent.
- 1:11:44Speaker 16: So I really love that one.
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: Which is better than even those like introductory rates on
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: the you know, the savings accounts and stuff that they have.
- 1:11:51Speaker 10: Now, oh totally, now another one I love it's a
- 1:11:54Speaker 10: three point eight percent divit in yield.
- 1:11:55Speaker 16: To be surprised. It's fidelity, It's basically fidelity.
- 1:11:59Speaker 10: Now it's up six percent today, which is kind of
- 1:12:01Speaker 10: an interesting which is sort of interesting to me.
- 1:12:06Speaker 16: Why why that?
- 1:12:07Speaker 10: But they might have reported and I should have I
- 1:12:09Speaker 10: should have come more prepared to be able to tell
- 1:12:11Speaker 10: you that one.
- 1:12:13Speaker 16: Now we're going to do.
- 1:12:13Speaker 10: One that whose stock has fallen because of concern that
- 1:12:16Speaker 10: they were going to be losing out on some of
- 1:12:19Speaker 10: the uh, some of the contracts down in.
- 1:12:23Speaker 16: Washington, d C.
- 1:12:23Speaker 10: And that's eccentric acn. Anybody who watches any golf will
- 1:12:28Speaker 10: see eccentrire all over their whoever their favorite golfer is true,
- 1:12:33Speaker 10: and that's that's that's traditional consulting. But they do a
- 1:12:37Speaker 10: great job, and they did, andiel there is three point
- 1:12:40Speaker 10: four percent. But again the stock has been nicely depressed,
- 1:12:44Speaker 10: uh because of those concerns that they're going to lose
- 1:12:47Speaker 10: all their clients, right and uh, and they're not, so
- 1:12:50Speaker 10: the underlying stock itself can rise. Now here's Carrien, doctor Pepper,
- 1:12:54Speaker 10: k DP. I love this one. Three point five percent Carrig,
- 1:13:00Speaker 10: doctor Pepper. You look at the chart there and you
- 1:13:03Speaker 10: see the stock used to be thirty five dollars and
- 1:13:05Speaker 10: it was bouncing around, bouncing around.
- 1:13:07Speaker 16: It's twenty five dollars.
- 1:13:09Speaker 10: So if you can get back to thirty five dollars
- 1:13:11Speaker 10: and have that three point five percent, you can't go wrong.
- 1:13:15Speaker 16: Here's another one.
- 1:13:16Speaker 10: I love MetLife, which, by the way, you know met
- 1:13:19Speaker 10: Life is going to have the MetLife Stadium is going
- 1:13:23Speaker 10: to have a lot of soccer very soon. And the
- 1:13:26Speaker 10: divining yield there is three percent. We all know MetLife
- 1:13:29Speaker 10: insurance company, but very well run, tightly run, very very global,
- 1:13:36Speaker 10: really has some of the top professionals in any money
- 1:13:40Speaker 10: management environment whatsoever. And anyone who's ever had met Life stock,
- 1:13:47Speaker 10: MetLife premiums, I mean policies, know what a great company
- 1:13:51Speaker 10: it is. Okay, Next we have Moulson, which is an
- 1:13:54Speaker 10: interesting ticker symbol tap TAP. So don't look for like
- 1:13:58Speaker 10: mlso in or something, just look for TAP forty four
- 1:14:01Speaker 10: dollars stock and here you have a four point three
- 1:14:04Speaker 10: percent dividing yield. And everything about this company is wonderful,
- 1:14:09Speaker 10: especially the fact that it's not volatile. It has half
- 1:14:12Speaker 10: the volatility of the market itself. Now, now, what about
- 1:14:17Speaker 10: Bristol Myers. I for full disclosure. I have owned Bristol
- 1:14:21Speaker 10: Meyers since two thousand and one, early two thousand and one,
- 1:14:24Speaker 10: when I bought it for about twenty two dollars. It's
- 1:14:27Speaker 10: only fifty seven dollars. That's nothing for twenty three years.
- 1:14:30Speaker 10: So I didn't do great there. I mean, sure, you know,
- 1:14:33Speaker 10: I got two and a half times on my money.
- 1:14:35Speaker 16: But the dividing yield is now four point four percent.
- 1:14:38Speaker 10: It used to, of course be about double that when
- 1:14:40Speaker 10: the stock was half the price.
- 1:14:42Speaker 17: So I collect this four nut four four point four percent,
- 1:14:46Speaker 17: and the stock slowly makes its way up. But one day,
- 1:14:51Speaker 17: one day, Bristol Myers is going to act with an
- 1:14:53Speaker 17: Eli Louie. You're a provisor, and when you get a
- 1:14:56Speaker 17: double in that stock and you still get a dividing yield,
- 1:14:59Speaker 17: you were going to be one happy person.
- 1:15:03Speaker 16: So I love that.
- 1:15:04Speaker 10: I'm almost done here, if you don't mind, I just
- 1:15:06Speaker 10: want to talk about Tyson really quickly. Those of you
- 1:15:10Speaker 10: who know Tyson Foods, you might be thinking, well, that's
- 1:15:12Speaker 10: an interesting one. Inflation must be hurting them. Sixty five
- 1:15:16Speaker 10: dollars stop, a three point two percent dividen yield and
- 1:15:21Speaker 10: a company.
- 1:15:22Speaker 16: That just knows how to keep giving.
- 1:15:24Speaker 10: And the reason it's that that divid in yield is
- 1:15:26Speaker 10: that it makes real money, doesn't have a lot of debt,
- 1:15:28Speaker 10: you know, sitting on it. Uh, So you can really
- 1:15:32Speaker 10: do do well with that. And then lastly, I really
- 1:15:37Speaker 10: like Hulitt Packard Enterprise. That's the AI division of Hewlett Packard,
- 1:15:42Speaker 10: amongst other things. Okay, so they're not making your printer paper.
- 1:15:46Speaker 10: And the dividend yield there, I mean it's two point
- 1:15:49Speaker 10: three percent, but that's okay, and it's stop here today
- 1:15:52Speaker 10: it's only up four percent. In one year, it's up
- 1:15:54Speaker 10: seventy six percent. But really it's the intelligent solutions is
- 1:15:59Speaker 10: what they would tell you. Right you're trying to figure
- 1:16:01Speaker 10: out the cloud and give you multi work computing and
- 1:16:04Speaker 10: workload optimization systems and utility programs and everything in software
- 1:16:10Speaker 10: as a service, everything you can imagine.
- 1:16:12Speaker 16: So that's my list of some Dimden stocks that could
- 1:16:15Speaker 16: really do well for you.
- 1:16:17Speaker 10: And if you really want even some more, next week
- 1:16:20Speaker 10: we can we can continue and talk Applied Materials and
- 1:16:22Speaker 10: Toll Brothers and Job and Constellation Energy, But for right now,
- 1:16:27Speaker 10: I think I gave you a pretty good list.
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're all right around that three point eight
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: to four percent yield, which again beats it beats those
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: introductory savings accounts that all the credit cards are trying
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: to get you to do right now. So it's it
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: really is a good, good tip.
- 1:16:43Speaker 10: Well, and then they get you you got to be
- 1:16:45Speaker 10: careful here with these credit cards.
- 1:16:46Speaker 16: Then they'll always convince you.
- 1:16:48Speaker 10: I mean, you walk into major department store, they'll convince
- 1:16:50Speaker 10: you get twenty percent.
- 1:16:51Speaker 16: Off today, pushing another five percent off. You sign up
- 1:16:54Speaker 16: for a credit card. And the way they do it,
- 1:16:56Speaker 16: and I'm.
- 1:16:57Speaker 10: Not saying it's all stores to turn around and then
- 1:17:00Speaker 10: next thing I know that credit card I signed up, poor,
- 1:17:02Speaker 10: I already have some kind of like link sing like
- 1:17:05Speaker 10: within two weeks.
- 1:17:06Speaker 16: It just happens that way.
- 1:17:07Speaker 10: I don't know, right, And I'm paying more money than
- 1:17:12Speaker 10: then I got off with my twenty percent plus the
- 1:17:15Speaker 10: extra five percent off.
- 1:17:16Speaker 16: Yeah, so so buyer beware.
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff, all right, Hillary Watch Hillary on Fox Business.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: Of course she's there all the time. But you can
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: also read her website, Hillary Kramer dot com, sign up

- 1:17:37Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin McCullough coming back from Times Square. Don't go
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: stick around for more of that.
- 1:17:42Speaker 13: Kevin next, serving it up. It's a no drink minute.
- 1:17:58Speaker 13: It's that Kevin Show.
- 1:18:00Speaker 6: All right, Welcome back, Kevin Caller.
- 1:18:02Speaker 7: Glad to have you with us.
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: And for all of my friends that are listening in California,
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: thank you for being there. I am feeling your pain
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: these days. Friends. You have a governor who is absent.
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: I mean he's he's absent while on duty, which is
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: not a thing, and he's now so obsessed with becoming president.
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: And I don't think he's going to be successful in
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: that endeavor. I really have a hard time seeing how
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: the rest of the country goes. Oh yes, please make
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: all of us like California, And that's what he'll be
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: campaigning on. He'll look at what I made in California,
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: and the rest of the country's going to hold their
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: nose and say nope, no.
- 1:18:41Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: But somebody that they were thinking was going to take
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: Newsom's place in the next scubernatorial race had to drop
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: out today after a wave of disgusting allegations which made
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: his announcement yesterday evening, I am suspending my campaign for governor.
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: To my family, staff, friends and supporters. I am deeply
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in the past.
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: I will fight the serious false allegations that have been
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: Wait a minute, hold on, did you make serious mistakes
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: or the false allegations? You can't have it both ways.
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: But that's my fight, he says, not a campaign's.
- 1:19:23Speaker 7: He's dropped out.
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: Eric Swollwell has dropped out of the governor's race for
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: the Golden State, which is great because I don't think
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: he deserves to be dog catcher, much less governor. Wall
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: Street Journal puts it this way. Before the allegations emerged
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: this weekend, Swalwell was one of the leading candidates in
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: the California governor's race, but reports of abuse quickly derailed
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: his run. And that is what he's being accused of,
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: a pattern of sexually abused women and friends. I don't
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: I don't.
- 1:20:03Speaker 7: Even need to see anything graphic. There was.
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: There was a video clip all doom scrolling through social
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: media this weekend. And Eric Swalwell is married, but this
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: video is of him on a bed with someone who
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: is not his wife. They're both sitting up. But even
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: in how he turned the woman's neck kind of forced
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: himself to give her a kiss, and she kind of
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: moderately responds whatever. Like, just watching that icky video made
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: me think this dude belongs in jail because it did
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: not look consensual. It did not look like she was
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: agreeing to this. It looked like he was like forcing
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: tonsil hockey on her, and nobody wanted to see that,
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: So I can understand the the pushback. Wall Street General says.
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: Before the allegations emerged, Swalwell was one of the leading
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: candidates in the governor's race, but the reports of abuse
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: quickly derailed his run. Some lawmakers of both parties demanded
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: he resigned Congress as well. Roe Kanna, a Democrat from California.
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: It's really amazing that he's weighing in on this, says,
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: what he did is sickening and disgusting.
- 1:21:22Speaker 7: Well, there you go.
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: He also said, I believe that he should resign, which
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: I think is the only honorable thing left for Swalwell
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: to do.
- 1:21:37Speaker 7: And this isn't new.
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: By the way, we knew that he was sleeping with
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: the Chinese spy when she was working for him.
- 1:21:46Speaker 7: And the fact.
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: That he's still even in the discussion of things is
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: pretty mind blowing to me because he doesn't belong a
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: seat in good company. Well Staffers also said, and quoting
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: the physician's assistant who treated the staffer after the alleged assault,
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: you are a survivor. Always so proud and admire your strength.
- 1:22:13Speaker 7: Shine on.
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: The provider wrote in her treatment plan, friends, I'm glad
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: Swallwell is out of the governor's race. I hope this
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: finishes him off and he has to go back to
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: the private sector to kind of figure out what to
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: do for a living. But we'll see one step at
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: a time. Thank you so much for being here. It's
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: that Kevin show.
