- 1:17Speaker 5: Who he used to be.
- 1:18Speaker 8: Here, all right, welcome aboard, Kevin McCullough.
- 1:29Speaker 3: I gotta tell you it's I'm loving these days of sunshine.
- 1:33Speaker 3: They could be a little warmer, but for the most part,
- 1:36Speaker 3: I'm loving the fact that we have some sunny days
- 1:39Speaker 3: here in the New York area. Wherever you're at. If
- 1:42Speaker 3: you're in Honolulu, well, I don't even want to talk
- 1:44Speaker 3: to you. You're just making me jealous. Now, I'm kidding.
- 1:47Speaker 3: If you're in San Diego, I'm trying to think of
- 1:49Speaker 3: all the beautiful places. If you're in what is it Kerrville,
- 1:53Speaker 3: Texas that has like perpetually seventy five degree weather, like
- 1:58Speaker 3: three hundred and sixty four days a year, really crazy.
- 2:01Speaker 3: But if you're in any of the other rest of
- 2:02Speaker 3: the country and you're joining us, we're so glad that
- 2:05Speaker 3: you have. We've got a lot to get to, including
- 2:08Speaker 3: the latest on what's going on in Iran. If you've
- 2:11Speaker 3: listened to the show for any length of time, you
- 2:12Speaker 3: know that New York is my home base. We come
- 2:15Speaker 3: to you from Times Square, and I got to tell you,
- 2:18Speaker 3: I'm so embarrassed by the people that represent this city
- 2:23Speaker 3: and this part of the country on the national stage.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Yesterday we had the finding of guilt for the two
- 2:31Speaker 3: terrorists who tried to blow up protesters in New York City,
- 2:35Speaker 3: and they were found guilty of terrorism. And it was
- 2:37Speaker 3: good that they found him guilty because the evidence that
- 2:40Speaker 3: they had stacked against him was so incredibly high, Like
- 2:44Speaker 3: it wasn't that hard to come to a verdict of
- 2:46Speaker 3: saying these guys are guilty. They basically were caught on
- 2:49Speaker 3: some camera somewhere with their entire discussion revealed, and they
- 2:55Speaker 3: were like, yeah, we want to blow up the protesters.
- 2:57Speaker 3: We hope the guy that organized it, who is not
- 2:59Speaker 3: I'm not a big of him, but they're like, we
- 3:01Speaker 3: want to we want to see him split from top
- 3:03Speaker 3: to bottom. And then if we can't get them all,
- 3:05Speaker 3: if we can't get the bombs off, we'll just we'll
- 3:07Speaker 3: just throw them into a cafe somewhere. This this is
- 3:09Speaker 3: what they're talking about on their cab ride into Manhattan
- 3:13Speaker 3: that day that was captured by the cabs monitoring system somehow.
- 3:19Speaker 3: And you would think that because of things like that,
- 3:22Speaker 3: and because of nine to eleven, and because of the
- 3:25Speaker 3: impact that terrorism has had exponentially on New York as
- 3:28Speaker 3: opposed to the rest of the country, you would think
- 3:30Speaker 3: that people like Chuck Schumer and Alexandria Okazio Cortes would
- 3:35Speaker 3: have a more reasonable approach to what we're trying to
- 3:39Speaker 3: do to stop terrorism globally and since Iran is one
- 3:42Speaker 3: of the big funders of terrorism. They pay big, big,
- 3:44Speaker 3: big dollars to Hamas and Hesbealah, and the houtis they they,
- 3:50Speaker 3: you know, it's they. They want to see terrorism exported exponentially.
- 3:57Speaker 3: And yesterday Chuck Schumer came out and goes, you know,
- 3:59Speaker 3: we're we're us safe off than we were before we
- 4:03Speaker 3: took out all of Iran's terrorism capabilities. Iran is in
- 4:09Speaker 3: the middle of the ceasefire. They're trying to call it
- 4:12Speaker 3: void because they're saying that Israel bombing their surrogates in
- 4:18Speaker 3: Lebanon violates the ceasefire. But the problem is they didn't
- 4:23Speaker 3: make the ceasefire with Israel, and they didn't make the
- 4:26Speaker 3: and the president isn't We're not involved in the bombing
- 4:29Speaker 3: of Hesbellah and Lebanon, So it's not it's kind of
- 4:32Speaker 3: like not my circuit, not my monkey, not my circus
- 4:35Speaker 3: kind of thing for Trump. It's not his issue. His
- 4:38Speaker 3: issue is the war that we have been undertaking to
- 4:42Speaker 3: rhythm of their uranium, to kill off all the terrorists
- 4:47Speaker 3: that have threatened or hurt or killed Americans in the past,
- 4:50Speaker 3: and to get the straight of hormorves open for our
- 4:53Speaker 3: allies and friends. We don't need it. We don't need
- 4:55Speaker 3: the Strait of hormorves open. They do. But we're offering
- 4:58Speaker 3: to help solve all those problems. So it's interesting that
- 5:03Speaker 3: we've gone into this ceasefire. Iran's tried to change the terms,
- 5:07Speaker 3: tried to move the goalposts. They're good at that, they
- 5:10Speaker 3: do that regularly, and they've got these meetings set up
- 5:14Speaker 3: for this coming weekend. Will there be an agreement? Will
- 5:17Speaker 3: there not be an agreement? Pakistans trying to negotiate and
- 5:21Speaker 3: help it all work out. Well. Iran's been making more
- 5:24Speaker 3: and more threats over the last few days of you know, well,
- 5:28Speaker 3: we're not going to cease hostilities as long as they
- 5:30Speaker 3: continue to you know, bomb our terrorists in Lebanon. By
- 5:35Speaker 3: the way, the Lebanese government doesn't want those terrorists there either,
- 5:38Speaker 3: so it's not like we're really causing anyone any discomfort
- 5:41Speaker 3: by taking out the terrorists. Isis training centers, all the
- 5:45Speaker 3: rest of the stuff that the terrorists are doing there,
- 5:47Speaker 3: But the Iranian president must sud Pajekian Pozsesshkian Pazeshkian says
- 5:54Speaker 3: plan talks between the US and I ran on Saturday
- 5:56Speaker 3: will be meaningless if Israel continues its attack acts on
- 6:01Speaker 3: Lebanon now. Pajekian issued the warning in a statement on acts,
- 6:05Speaker 3: saying israel strikes against the Lebanese terrorists are a flagrant
- 6:11Speaker 3: violation of the truce agreed to earlier this week. He said,
- 6:14Speaker 3: the repeated aggression by the Zionist entity against Lebanon is
- 6:17Speaker 3: a flagrant violation of the initial ceasefire agreement any dangerous
- 6:21Speaker 3: indicator of deceit and lack of commitment to potential accords.
- 6:24Speaker 3: The continuation of these aggressions will render negotiations meaningless. Our
- 6:28Speaker 3: hands will remain on the trigger, and Iran will never
- 6:30Speaker 3: abandon its Lebanese brothers and sisters. Friends. Israel is not
- 6:34Speaker 3: bombing peaceful Lebanese. They are killing Hesbelah who have infiltrated
- 6:40Speaker 3: different portions of Lebanon, but they're quickly coming to an end.
- 6:44Speaker 3: This is not this has nothing to do with the
- 6:48Speaker 3: ceasefire between the US and Iran, but they would like
- 6:53Speaker 3: it to be dependent upon it, and the President saying no.
- 6:58Speaker 3: In fact, what the President is saying is to the
- 7:01Speaker 3: men and women in the armed services that are in
- 7:03Speaker 3: the region, rest up clean your guns, get everything ready
- 7:07Speaker 3: to go, enjoy a few days off. And he has
- 7:11Speaker 3: said that if Iran doesn't have doesn't seek to do
- 7:17Speaker 3: a permanent agreement, that the US military will be loaded
- 7:20Speaker 3: up and resting and off of a ceasefire, they'll be
- 7:24Speaker 3: more ready to go than ever to finish the job.
- 7:28Speaker 3: By the way, I saw a really compelling I might
- 7:31Speaker 3: get this for you in the second hour if I
- 7:34Speaker 3: can find it. I saw a really compelling confessional video
- 7:38Speaker 3: on Instagram yesterday. But I'm embarrassed by these New York politicians.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Alexandria Ocasio Cortez another one yesterday, reviving this meme. She
- 7:49Speaker 3: urged US service members to refuse illegal orders. Who determines
- 7:53Speaker 3: whether or not the orders are illegal her, she's a
- 7:58Speaker 3: jury of one. Well, I don't like that one. Well,
- 8:00Speaker 3: that has nothing to do with legality. Legality is the
- 8:05Speaker 3: commander in chief tells you to do something, and then
- 8:08Speaker 3: you go and do it. If it's genocide, if it's
- 8:11Speaker 3: war crimes, if it's those types of things, then you object.
- 8:15Speaker 3: But going in and taking out power plants and bridges
- 8:19Speaker 3: does not constitute a war crime, no matter how many
- 8:21Speaker 3: times they say it on CNN and MSNBC. You can
- 8:25Speaker 3: say it till you're blue in the face, Jessica Tarlav
- 8:27Speaker 3: on Fox. You can say it over and over and
- 8:29Speaker 3: over again. If the enemy, if the terrorists are using
- 8:32Speaker 3: those bridges and those power plants, they are fair game.
- 8:36Speaker 3: And the IRGC is using the power plants and the
- 8:41Speaker 3: bridges and they're not using them for what you think
- 8:43Speaker 3: they're using them for. That will also reveal that at
- 8:47Speaker 3: the top of the next hour, it's really you're just
- 8:49Speaker 3: going to be blown away. So I hope that I
- 8:52Speaker 3: hope that you will stay with us. We'll have another
- 8:55Speaker 3: update on everything related to Iran as we go through
- 8:58Speaker 3: now it is so that means a little bit. Later
- 9:01Speaker 3: on Shelley Goldberg's be here, we're gonna talk parenting and
- 9:04Speaker 3: today a very exciting topic her parents instilling in their kids'
- 9:09Speaker 3: hearts a love for music. How do you go about
- 9:11Speaker 3: doing that. I'm looking forward to that conversation with her.
- 9:16Speaker 3: We're also going to check in on men and women's
- 9:19Speaker 3: men men participating in women's sports. Peyton McNabb is back
- 9:23Speaker 3: with us from the Independent Women's Forum. She was someone
- 9:26Speaker 3: who had her life, her playing career cut short because
- 9:30Speaker 3: a male playing on a female team, spiked a volleyball
- 9:33Speaker 3: that hit her head so hard she lost consciousness, ended
- 9:37Speaker 3: her volleyball playing career. And she's back with an update
- 9:42Speaker 3: on some things that are going on as it relates
- 9:44Speaker 3: to the Olympics. Big, big show, lots to get to.
- 9:47Speaker 4: Don't go away.

- 10:45Speaker 3: a very interesting discussion with Pastor Steve Malazzo this week.
- 10:48Speaker 3: He's the senior pastor lead pastor forty plus years at
- 10:52Speaker 3: BETHLEHEMAG dot org here in the New York Trite State area.
- 10:56Speaker 3: Bethlehem Assemblies of God three locations, Valley Stream, Rosedale, and
- 11:00Speaker 3: Baldwin and just appreciate Pastor Malaso's heart and his desire
- 11:06Speaker 3: to you know, share with us some of what he
- 11:09Speaker 3: has walked through in his own congregation. And Pastor Steve,
- 11:13Speaker 3: before we get to today's person that we that we
- 11:16Speaker 3: must have in our life, what was it that caused
- 11:19Speaker 3: you to teach on this with your own congregation. I'm
- 11:22Speaker 3: just I always love knowing the context of where sermons
- 11:25Speaker 3: come from.
- 11:26Speaker 9: Well, I'm deeply convinced that we can't be everything that
- 11:30Speaker 9: God wants us to be without the right people in
- 11:32Speaker 9: our life. We were doing a relational series and just
- 11:36Speaker 9: talking about a lot of different things communication, just talking
- 11:42Speaker 9: about a lot of different subjects, and then just boiled
- 11:45Speaker 9: down to you know, the last sermon that I was
- 11:47Speaker 9: preaching in the series. I thought to myself, Wow, if
- 11:51Speaker 9: we don't have the right people in our life, we
- 11:53Speaker 9: can't be what God wants us to be.
- 11:55Speaker 3: That's true, that's true. Well, on that note, we have
- 11:58Speaker 3: been looking at those types of people, and we've talked
- 12:01Speaker 3: about mentors, and we've talked about encouragers. Today, we're going
- 12:05Speaker 3: to talk about a different type of person that we
- 12:08Speaker 3: need in our life. Why don't you set that up
- 12:10Speaker 3: for US pastor Steve Well.
- 12:11Speaker 9: I believe that most people don't fail because they don't
- 12:14Speaker 9: want to succeed. They fail because they lack accountability. Because accountability,
- 12:18Speaker 9: so often is the bridge between intention and transformation.
- 12:23Speaker 10: You know, you go to the gym, and you know,
- 12:26Speaker 10: you know.
- 12:27Speaker 9: We were in January and everybody was signing up for
- 12:29Speaker 9: the gym. I wonder, now we're in April, how many
- 12:32Speaker 9: people have stayed with the gym? And I think one
- 12:34Speaker 9: of the reasons why people don't continue on is because
- 12:38Speaker 9: they don't have accountability. Because accountability is the bridge between
- 12:41Speaker 9: intention good intention. I want to do this right, but
- 12:45Speaker 9: you know, I don't have anybody cheering me on but
- 12:48Speaker 9: also holding me accountable. And I know that when I'm
- 12:51Speaker 9: accountable to something. That's why serving in the church is
- 12:54Speaker 9: so important, because it makes it wakes me up in
- 12:56Speaker 9: a mooining and say.
- 12:57Speaker 10: I got to go to church. In fact, I believe the.
- 12:59Speaker 9: Reason why I, you know, I've learned the word the
- 13:01Speaker 9: way I've learned the word is because I was accountable
- 13:04Speaker 9: to my congregation.
- 13:05Speaker 10: I'm accountable to somebody.
- 13:06Speaker 9: I got to show up and I have to deliver,
- 13:09Speaker 9: and so it's going to push me on to be better.
- 13:11Speaker 9: You know, So if we're going to succeed, if we're
- 13:13Speaker 9: going to be everything that God wants us to be
- 13:16Speaker 9: in all life, we're going to need some accountability. Is
- 13:18Speaker 9: someone who holds us accountable when we kind of want
- 13:21Speaker 9: to make excuses why we can't do it or maybe
- 13:24Speaker 9: you know, cut corners or compromise.
- 13:26Speaker 10: You know, I think of David.
- 13:28Speaker 2: King.
- 13:29Speaker 9: David needed accountability in his life. And we know the
- 13:32Speaker 9: story of King David. You know, when he was supposed
- 13:34Speaker 9: to be out at war, Uh, he took a break
- 13:38Speaker 9: and it's springtime when they're supposed to be out at war,
- 13:41Speaker 9: and he goes out on his patio and he's a
- 13:44Speaker 9: woman that's bathing, and he's leaved with the woman, and
- 13:49Speaker 9: and he's about to.
- 13:50Speaker 10: Go down a really bad road. He's sinned.
- 13:54Speaker 9: He was going to destroy his family, his kingdom, and
- 13:58Speaker 9: he needed somebody to confront him. He needed somebody who
- 14:01Speaker 9: loved them enough to confront his own self deception to
- 14:04Speaker 9: push back.
- 14:05Speaker 10: On you know why he did what he did. And
- 14:07Speaker 10: he had Nathan in his life.
- 14:09Speaker 9: And can't you imagine the courage and the love that
- 14:12Speaker 9: Nathan had for David. You know, King's always had false
- 14:16Speaker 9: profits around them that told them what they wanted to hear,
- 14:19Speaker 9: but not what they needed to hear. But Nathan was
- 14:22Speaker 9: the guy who told David what he needed to hear,
- 14:26Speaker 9: and I believe he rescued David from destroying himself, his family,
- 14:32Speaker 9: and the kingdom.
- 14:33Speaker 10: We all need accountability in our life.
- 14:36Speaker 3: There's a degree of vulnerability that is asked of us
- 14:39Speaker 3: to really do this, And Steve, I want to be
- 14:42Speaker 3: very honest about this. There's lots of people I've known
- 14:44Speaker 3: that have been like, hey, help hold me accountable in
- 14:47Speaker 3: this area, blah blah blah, and then they don't really
- 14:50Speaker 3: they don't really mean they weren't the appearance of having
- 14:53Speaker 3: an accountability partner, but they don't really get gut level
- 14:57Speaker 3: honest about the stuff and really digging in and saying
- 15:02Speaker 3: I really need help on this and I really really
- 15:06Speaker 3: will be gut level truthful about it. That is a's
- 15:10Speaker 3: a that's a heavy lift for a lot of people.
- 15:12Speaker 9: Yeah, and a lot of people never actually get there.
- 15:15Speaker 9: And I think you make a tremendous point because you know,
- 15:18Speaker 9: you know, accountability partners. That's kind of a cliche these days,
- 15:22Speaker 9: and you know, people throw it around.
- 15:24Speaker 10: But I agree with you one hundred percent.
- 15:26Speaker 9: I think it's going to take somebody who's going to
- 15:28Speaker 9: be vulnerable, somebody's going to be honest, somebody who's going
- 15:31Speaker 9: to seek it out. But look, we want to be winners,
- 15:34Speaker 9: we want to succeed in life. We want to really
- 15:37Speaker 9: be everything that God wants us to be. And so
- 15:40Speaker 9: I'm probably talking to a select group of people who
- 15:43Speaker 9: really just want to be that in a really powerful way.
- 15:47Speaker 9: And if you want to be that, then you have
- 15:50Speaker 9: to seek out that accountability partner, that person who's going
- 15:54Speaker 9: to hold you accountable in your life.
- 15:56Speaker 10: And that takes, like you said, vulnerability, it takes relation.
- 16:00Speaker 10: You know this.
- 16:00Speaker 9: You know, you don't just walk over to somebody in
- 16:03Speaker 9: church and say, listen, hold me accountable you again, you know,
- 16:08Speaker 9: going back to what we said, you know yesterday, was
- 16:11Speaker 9: that we need the church, we need the community of faith.
- 16:13Speaker 9: And so as we go deeper into the community of faith,
- 16:17Speaker 9: as we build stronger relationships, as we build relationships in
- 16:21Speaker 9: small groups, in one groups, and there's going to be
- 16:24Speaker 9: somebody again that the Lord is going to connect you to.
- 16:27Speaker 9: I believe that all of these people that we're talking about,
- 16:31Speaker 9: the four different people in our life God is going
- 16:33Speaker 9: to send them to you. You just have to recognize
- 16:37Speaker 9: who they are, and that sometimes is not easy. But
- 16:41Speaker 9: it takes again vulnerability, it searching out, It takes desire,
- 16:46Speaker 9: It takes wanting to find those people or at least
- 16:50Speaker 9: connect with those people. And I believe in my prayer
- 16:55Speaker 9: for people that are listening today is that as they
- 16:58Speaker 9: get involved in serving, getting involved in their church, and
- 17:00Speaker 9: getting involved in building relationships, step by step, God's.
- 17:04Speaker 10: Going to lead an accountability partner to them.
- 17:07Speaker 9: Then they're going to be open, like you said, Kevin,
- 17:09Speaker 9: and they're going to be courageous enough to say, look,
- 17:11Speaker 9: here's what's going on in my life.
- 17:13Speaker 11: You know.
- 17:13Speaker 10: And I think men with men, women with women, you know.
- 17:16Speaker 9: Just just making sure that we have those great boundaries
- 17:19Speaker 9: around us to do it the right way.
- 17:22Speaker 10: I believe God's going to send the right people.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Let me let me ask a more difficult question. What
- 17:27Speaker 3: are one or two key attributes of how to be
- 17:31Speaker 3: a good accountability for somebody?
- 17:34Speaker 10: I think number one is you better not be a gossiper.
- 17:37Speaker 10: You know, you better know how to hold your tongue,
- 17:40Speaker 10: you better know how to be able to keep things
- 17:42Speaker 10: in confidence.
- 17:43Speaker 9: I think that's number one, and I think number two
- 17:45Speaker 9: is you have to be very discerning and you have
- 17:48Speaker 9: to be a person who spends time with the Father,
- 17:50Speaker 9: spend time with Jesus the Holy Spirit. I think to
- 17:53Speaker 9: those two things is you know, being in prayer, having
- 17:57Speaker 9: a prayer life, you know, obviously knowing the Word of God,
- 18:00Speaker 9: but also learning how to keep everything in confidence. If
- 18:04Speaker 9: somebody shares something, they've got to know that they can
- 18:08Speaker 9: trust you deeply that you're not going to take this
- 18:12Speaker 9: information and you know, spread it around the church.
- 18:15Speaker 3: How tough do you need to be as an accountability partner?
- 18:18Speaker 10: Oh, you have to be secure.
- 18:21Speaker 9: You have to be secure enough to actually be willing
- 18:25Speaker 9: to even risk the relationship because some people can't handle it,
- 18:28Speaker 9: you know. I mean, like you said in the beginning
- 18:31Speaker 9: of the broadcast, you said, you know, we go out
- 18:33Speaker 9: and say we want one, but do we really want it?
- 18:36Speaker 9: And then do we really want to be really that
- 18:39Speaker 9: vulnerable and open? So but the truth of the matter
- 18:44Speaker 9: is is that we've got to make sure that we're
- 18:47Speaker 9: strong enough to love God and love the person enough
- 18:51Speaker 9: to tell them the truth even if it costs us
- 18:55Speaker 9: the relationship because they're asking us, you know, and we
- 18:58Speaker 9: have to speak everything gently, everything you know, with honor respect.
- 19:03Speaker 10: But the Bible is speak the truth and love.
- 19:06Speaker 9: But you have to speak the truth and be willing,
- 19:08Speaker 9: you know, for the relationship maybe to sever because you
- 19:12Speaker 9: were that honest with the person.
- 19:14Speaker 3: Well, and there's a certain degree of I guess you
- 19:18Speaker 3: would call it psychology to the idea of a valuable
- 19:22Speaker 3: friendship that does mean something. The truth is that the
- 19:27Speaker 3: beauty of accountability is that it should, for both people involved,
- 19:32Speaker 3: bring about the importance of the friendship that they have
- 19:36Speaker 3: and the value that they that they esteem each other with,
- 19:39Speaker 3: and that should be something that we do desire healthy
- 19:43Speaker 3: relationships people that we know are invested in what is
- 19:46Speaker 3: good for us, not just what is convenient for us.
- 19:50Speaker 3: And it's that's where at least in my experience Pastor Steve,
- 19:55Speaker 3: we like to say down on the farm, stuff got real.
- 19:59Speaker 3: Because until you're sitting there and you're saying, you know,
- 20:04Speaker 3: we've talked about this, you know, failure is failure. God
- 20:09Speaker 3: wants better for you. And I think the other part
- 20:12Speaker 3: of accountability is not judgment, but it's ultimately flourish. If
- 20:16Speaker 3: it's ultimately about flourishing, it's about helping that person move
- 20:20Speaker 3: past that spiritual blockage to achieve what God ultimately has
- 20:28Speaker 3: for them, which is so much better than whatever it
- 20:31Speaker 3: is that they're hanging on to in the moment, even
- 20:34Speaker 3: if they don't really see it or believe it. Wow,
- 20:37Speaker 3: is this a good week. I'm so grateful that Steve
- 20:40Speaker 3: Malazzo has been with us. And we're going to come
- 20:41Speaker 3: back tomorrow the Friday edition with one more coming right back.
- 20:45Speaker 3: It's Cavin McCullough.
- 20:46Speaker 4: Uncle, way, let's stick.
- 20:47Speaker 12: Around for more of that Kevin next.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. Exact Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 21:13Speaker 3: All right, welcome back. It's Kevin McCullough, that Kevin Show.
- 21:17Speaker 3: And I'm not sure if you've noticed this or not.
- 21:20Speaker 3: And by the way, Hello Peoria, w P e O,
- 21:22Speaker 3: A M and F M. You're our station of the week.
- 21:25Speaker 3: I'm gonna be shouting you out every day this week.
- 21:28Speaker 3: Last week was AM five ninety K T I E
- 21:30Speaker 3: in southern California. But w P EO you just added
- 21:33Speaker 3: us to your drive time. There. We get to be
- 21:37Speaker 3: with you on your drive home from work. And we
- 21:40Speaker 3: want to we want to be with you every day.
- 21:42Speaker 3: We want to we want to go with you. We
- 21:44Speaker 3: want to build up your mind, We want to expand
- 21:47Speaker 3: your understanding of the world around you from the standpoint
- 21:50Speaker 3: of Judeo Christian belief and basic truth and what is
- 21:55Speaker 3: right and what is wrong. That's that's all part of
- 21:57Speaker 3: what we're doing there. But very very honored to be
- 22:00Speaker 3: in the Peoria, Illinois and surrounding region really all through
- 22:03Speaker 3: central and southern Illinois. Thank you so much for making
- 22:07Speaker 3: us part of your your your lineup there, particularly in
- 22:10Speaker 3: such this esteemed spot. I know that Charlie Kirk used
- 22:13Speaker 3: to visit these very u this very time slot, and
- 22:17Speaker 3: so I'm very very honored to be taking his place.
- 22:20Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you. All Right, you may
- 22:24Speaker 3: have noticed, you may not have noticed, but you may
- 22:26Speaker 3: have noticed that since November, since we've come to the network. Uh,
- 22:33Speaker 3: there is something that I do every month, and that
- 22:37Speaker 3: is I recruit you to help me and us collectively
- 22:42Speaker 3: change the world together. So in the month of December,
- 22:47Speaker 3: we liberated slaves that would never have been able to
- 22:51Speaker 3: be liberated had you and I not gotten involved. And
- 22:54Speaker 3: I want to say because of you, there were there
- 22:57Speaker 3: were quite a few that were that were able to
- 22:59Speaker 3: be released. And we're so so grateful. Now in the
- 23:04Speaker 3: month of February and March and April, We're gonna do
- 23:06Speaker 3: something that I really love. And part of why I
- 23:10Speaker 3: really love it is because I've been to the place
- 23:13Speaker 3: where a group called Food for the Poor operate. I
- 23:16Speaker 3: have seen with mine own eyes how they conduct themselves.
- 23:21Speaker 3: I have held the children in my arms that we
- 23:23Speaker 3: will be helping, and it's so cost effective. But let
- 23:28Speaker 3: me just tell you that there are places in Central America,
- 23:33Speaker 3: South America, the Caribbean where there are no luxurious resorts,
- 23:41Speaker 3: there are no grocery stores, there are no things that
- 23:45Speaker 3: you would think would be part of modern life. And
- 23:48Speaker 3: they are for us here in America, but not so
- 23:51Speaker 3: in places where Food for the Poors at work, Places
- 23:53Speaker 3: like Guatemala, Haiti, El Salvador, some of the Honduras, some
- 24:00Speaker 3: of these places where poverty is so deadly. And let
- 24:04Speaker 3: me just give you an example. Did you know that,
- 24:08Speaker 3: on average, the amount of time that an orphan in
- 24:13Speaker 3: these regions or a parentless child in these regions goes
- 24:17Speaker 3: without eating in some of these places up to seventy
- 24:22Speaker 3: two hours in between meals that resemble actual food. I'm
- 24:27Speaker 3: not talking about stories where you hear of somebody boiling
- 24:30Speaker 3: some leaves or some tree bark or something and trying
- 24:33Speaker 3: to make that into a meal. No, I'm talking about
- 24:35Speaker 3: actual food. There are literally tens of thousands of these
- 24:41Speaker 3: children throughout these regions, and Food for the Poor who's
- 24:45Speaker 3: been around for forty five years is in eighteen of
- 24:49Speaker 3: these countries and working hard to try to reach every
- 24:51Speaker 3: one of these kids. And this year they have provided
- 24:55Speaker 3: us with a list of seven hundred and twenty children's
- 24:58Speaker 3: names that we can very simply remove off of a
- 25:05Speaker 3: list that would make them food secure for the next year.
- 25:08Speaker 3: And here's what they would get every single day, two
- 25:12Speaker 3: meals a day of some carbohydrates like rice, some proteins
- 25:16Speaker 3: like beans, some vitamin component supplements that are added to
- 25:24Speaker 3: that recipe, and a little chicken broth and a little
- 25:29Speaker 3: I don't know, care and love that make this a
- 25:32Speaker 3: beautiful meal and to be able to receive it twice
- 25:35Speaker 3: a day for the next year. Think about that. Think
- 25:40Speaker 3: about friends. You take your child out to eat, and
- 25:44Speaker 3: I take my family to brunch on Sundays after church.
- 25:49Speaker 3: It's kind of a special time. Mom doesn't have to cook.
- 25:51Speaker 3: We sit and have a meal together and we talk
- 25:54Speaker 3: about what God has done for us, and we give thanks,
- 25:57Speaker 3: and it's just really, really beautiful. But think about if
- 26:01Speaker 3: you were to take your children to eat twice a
- 26:04Speaker 3: day for a meal that would cover all of their
- 26:08Speaker 3: nutritional needs. How much would that cost you for the
- 26:12Speaker 3: entire year for just one child. How much would you
- 26:15Speaker 3: spend I'm going to guess that it would be tens
- 26:19Speaker 3: of hundreds of times a multiplied amount of seventy five dollars.
- 26:25Speaker 3: And yet, for seventy five dollars, you can feed a
- 26:29Speaker 3: child and give them purified drinking water, clean drinking water,
- 26:35Speaker 3: drinking water that's good for them, not the kind that
- 26:37Speaker 3: is filled with parasites and so forth, good drinking water
- 26:41Speaker 3: for them. You can give them these two things for
- 26:44Speaker 3: the next year for seventy five dollars per child. Friends,
- 26:48Speaker 3: I want to ask you, would you help us by
- 26:50Speaker 3: saying I'll take care of two children right now. One
- 26:54Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars gift would care for two children
- 26:57Speaker 3: for the entire next year, all of the food they need,
- 27:00Speaker 3: all of the clean drinking water that they need for
- 27:02Speaker 3: two children. Now, before you answer real quickly, just got word.
- 27:08Speaker 3: If you call today, someone will match every gift we
- 27:12Speaker 3: get in this hour, someone will match everything that we
- 27:16Speaker 3: do if you call right now. Here's the phone number
- 27:20Speaker 3: eight five five nine zero seven, four six seven three
- 27:25Speaker 3: eighty five five nine zero seven four six seven three.
- 27:29Speaker 3: So if you do one hundred and fifty dollars gift
- 27:31Speaker 3: right now, it's not two kids, it's four kids that
- 27:33Speaker 3: will eat and get clean drinking water. But would you
- 27:35Speaker 3: would you join us? We have seven hundred and twenty
- 27:38Speaker 3: children that need to be cared for. Would you take
- 27:41Speaker 3: four of them with a gift of one hundred and
- 27:43Speaker 3: fifty dollars right now? Eight five five nine zero seven
- 27:45Speaker 3: four six seven three eight five five nine zero seven
- 27:48Speaker 3: four six seven three, Please go and call right now.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Is from New York.
- 28:14Speaker 13: Her name is Chauvelin or Alice. She's twelve years old.
- 28:20Speaker 13: Or she was fetching water to drink again. I treat
- 28:29Speaker 13: the water so to drink it. She treats it with aquatap.
- 28:33Speaker 13: But they don't find the aquatap tablet all the time.
- 28:36Speaker 13: Sometimes they drink it like that, or they try to
- 28:38Speaker 13: find the little chlorine to put in it again.
- 28:42Speaker 5: Lore it tastes like mud.
- 28:49Speaker 13: Sometimes I can even feel the germs inside of it
- 28:55Speaker 13: sometimes it gives me stomach ache.
- 28:58Speaker 3: That is the story of a little named Chauvelin, and
- 29:01Speaker 3: she is from a country that I care a great
- 29:04Speaker 3: deal about. Kevin mccullaugh, glad to be with you because
- 29:07Speaker 3: I have an adopted son from the country of Haiti,
- 29:10Speaker 3: and I've been there many times. Paul Jacob is back
- 29:13Speaker 3: with us from Food for the Poor and Paul, there's
- 29:17Speaker 3: few places in human existence that have been more worse
- 29:20Speaker 3: offt than Haiti on good years, and then when you
- 29:25Speaker 3: have hurricanes and other things that come through. When you
- 29:28Speaker 3: have a measles epidemic, disease has supposedly been dormant and
- 29:33Speaker 3: dead for a number of years breakout. When we have
- 29:35Speaker 3: earthquakes that happen, and whatever infrastructure is there just falls
- 29:39Speaker 3: in on itself. And we're not talking about fifty years ago.
- 29:42Speaker 3: We're talking about in the last ten years. All this
- 29:45Speaker 3: has happened to the poorest country in our hemisphere and
- 29:48Speaker 3: maybe one of the top two poorest countries on the planet.
- 29:51Speaker 3: This is ground zero for where Food for the Poor
- 29:55Speaker 3: is doing some of its heaviest lifting in terms of
- 29:58Speaker 3: helping people. Chauvelin story is kind of an example of that.
- 30:02Speaker 14: We just finished serving and been completed serving forty years
- 30:07Speaker 14: in Haiti. We still are there, you know, and everything
- 30:10Speaker 14: that you just mentioned, the cholera, the earthquakes, the hurricanes,
- 30:13Speaker 14: multiple hurricanes as early as last October, with Hurricane Melissa
- 30:19Speaker 14: barreling through Jamaica but still making a significant impact on
- 30:23Speaker 14: Haiti as well, sybil unrest, you name it. Something has
- 30:26Speaker 14: transpired in Haiti. And I was asked to the other
- 30:29Speaker 14: day by someone who's been long standing a partner to
- 30:32Speaker 14: Food for the Poor but hadn't been in contact and said,
- 30:36Speaker 14: have we still do Are we still doing anything in Haiti?
- 30:38Speaker 14: And I said, like never before, the work still continues. Now,
- 30:43Speaker 14: we've had to shift our operational focus and we've had
- 30:45Speaker 14: to shift how we do things for the safety and
- 30:48Speaker 14: protection of our partners and beneficiaries. But it isn't The
- 30:51Speaker 14: work has never stopped. The staff has never stopped. And
- 30:53Speaker 14: so your gift right now, one hundred and fifty dollars
- 30:57Speaker 14: or three hundred dollars or maybe one thousand dollars for
- 30:59Speaker 14: twenty six children to have food, to have access to water,
- 31:03Speaker 14: it's going to make it to Haiti. It's going to
- 31:06Speaker 14: make it to the countries where food for the Poor
- 31:07Speaker 14: Serves because these beneficiaries are still praying and waiting in
- 31:11Speaker 14: the midst of all of that, our pastors are still
- 31:14Speaker 14: on the ground, our teams are still ready to deploy
- 31:17Speaker 14: all of this aid and help to these families and
- 31:19Speaker 14: places like Haiti.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Is a testament.
- 31:22Speaker 14: By the way, there are a majority of this staff
- 31:26Speaker 14: here at Food for the Poor and in the building
- 31:28Speaker 14: where we serve here that are they descend from Haiti,
- 31:31Speaker 14: and so it is personal for them.
- 31:33Speaker 10: It is personal for.
- 31:34Speaker 14: All of us who have traveled to Haiti and have
- 31:36Speaker 14: personal friends and family there that we just cannot we
- 31:39Speaker 14: cannot look away. And that's why Food for the Poor
- 31:42Speaker 14: will be there another forty years, in spite of everything
- 31:45Speaker 14: you may see on the news. So the bottom line
- 31:47Speaker 14: is this hunger is striking Haiti and many of the
- 31:51Speaker 14: countries are Food for the Poor serves. The lack of
- 31:54Speaker 14: lack of water, safe water, excuse me, has never been
- 31:58Speaker 14: more of an issue. We are still in need of
- 32:01Speaker 14: your help. There are children every single day getting sick
- 32:05Speaker 14: for nothing more than taking a sip of dangerous water.
- 32:08Speaker 14: But you can change that with a generous gift right.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Now, friends, It's true, I've seen.
- 32:14Speaker 3: It with my own eyes. Haiti is one of the
- 32:16Speaker 3: places I've traveled to with food for the Poor, and
- 32:20Speaker 3: there are a few scenes I've seen in my life,
- 32:23Speaker 3: in real life with my own eyes that have been
- 32:25Speaker 3: more discouraging than some of the situations that we've happened upon.
- 32:29Speaker 3: But I'll also tell you it's been one of those
- 32:33Speaker 3: destinations where I've also seen great good come about. And Paul,
- 32:37Speaker 3: you were with me on one of these adventures, because
- 32:40Speaker 3: one of the years that we were there, I remember
- 32:44Speaker 3: getting in a vehicle. We for the Poor brought us
- 32:48Speaker 3: down put us in had to be one of the
- 32:51Speaker 3: nicest hotels in the country. I mean, it was probably
- 32:54Speaker 3: the equivalent of like, you know, Super eight or Motel
- 32:57Speaker 3: six or something in the US, but by Haitian standards,
- 33:01Speaker 3: it was it was the it was the it was
- 33:03Speaker 3: the palace. But we got in the van and we
- 33:07Speaker 3: drove out of I think it was Porta prints and
- 33:09Speaker 3: we drove for quite a while. It was a couple
- 33:11Speaker 3: of hours. We got to kind of what I thought
- 33:13Speaker 3: was the end of the earth, and when we got there,
- 33:17Speaker 3: we're like, are we close? Like nope, So we got
- 33:20Speaker 3: out and we walked for another at least couple of miles,
- 33:24Speaker 3: and as we were going back into this area where
- 33:26Speaker 3: there had been some sugarcane industry and some other things
- 33:29Speaker 3: going on in previous years, because of the drought, because
- 33:33Speaker 3: of the lack of rain, because of some of the
- 33:35Speaker 3: cataclysmic weather things that had gone on, it just had
- 33:39Speaker 3: wiped out the entire probability for that community to support
- 33:45Speaker 3: itself in the sugarcane industry anymore. And we go back
- 33:51Speaker 3: and back and back and back, and then out of
- 33:52Speaker 3: the blue, kind of behind a couple of trees, back
- 33:55Speaker 3: in the back in the wherever there was this little church.
- 33:58Speaker 3: And this looked like a little cinderblock structure, maybe six
- 34:03Speaker 3: or eight rows of little benches made out of pieces
- 34:08Speaker 3: of wood that trunks of trees or whatever that kids
- 34:11Speaker 3: were sitting on and they were trying to learn from
- 34:14Speaker 3: a teacher who was the local pastor, Pastor Joseph. And
- 34:18Speaker 3: it was one of those things where you just couldn't
- 34:21Speaker 3: you couldn't really grasp but what you were looking at,
- 34:23Speaker 3: like how bad the situation was.
- 34:26Speaker 14: I mean, you know, you're getting a glimpse into how
- 34:28Speaker 14: food for the poor works because that community was hidden
- 34:32Speaker 14: for thirty years. He talked about a few years that
- 34:34Speaker 14: he had built.
- 34:35Speaker 3: When we went back, there were roads. They actually had
- 34:37Speaker 3: gotten a road all the way into the town.
- 34:39Speaker 14: At that point, the men got tools and built a
- 34:42Speaker 14: road for us to drive right to the front door
- 34:44Speaker 14: of that school. And so you get a picture and
- 34:46Speaker 14: a glimpse of how Food for the Poor works. Our
- 34:48Speaker 14: field officers are in the communities constantly. Our pastors are
- 34:52Speaker 14: coming to our offices telling us we have a community,
- 34:55Speaker 14: we have a need. There are children, there are families,
- 34:58Speaker 14: there are prayers, ask for help. And it's those moments
- 35:03Speaker 14: when we go to Kadwa, when those moments when we
- 35:06Speaker 14: go to Villanueva, which is in Honduras. And I'm reminded
- 35:10Speaker 14: of Galatians chapter two, verse ten, when Paul the Apostle,
- 35:13Speaker 14: at the beginning of his ministry in Galicia, he said,
- 35:17Speaker 14: all they asked of me was that we remember the poor,
- 35:20Speaker 14: the very thing I was eager to do all along.
- 35:24Speaker 14: All we're asking you right now is to tangibly, compassionately
- 35:29Speaker 14: and immediately remember the poor by giving your best gift,
- 35:33Speaker 14: because these families need you right now.

- 36:28Speaker 3: have to worry about missing it. Last night, it got
- 36:33Speaker 3: kind of uncomfortable on The Jimmy Kimmel Show. Not to
- 36:36Speaker 3: be confused with Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy Fallon is a guy
- 36:39Speaker 3: on NBC. Jimmy Kimmel is the guy on ABC who
- 36:43Speaker 3: I think has not had a profitable rating in like
- 36:48Speaker 3: many many years since he got suspended and brought back.
- 36:53Speaker 3: Even he had like a little bump when he came
- 36:55Speaker 3: back and then evaporated quickly, and he has not grown
- 36:58Speaker 3: his audience at all. They ABC was completely within their
- 37:01Speaker 3: right to cancel him, but they've changed their mind and
- 37:06Speaker 3: brought him back. Anyway, the US national champion women's basketball
- 37:12Speaker 3: team was invited on last night, and during a group
- 37:17Speaker 3: interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Lauren Betts, Keiky Rice Gabriella Walkeuz,
- 37:25Speaker 3: Angela Dugalich, and coach Corey Close were all there, but
- 37:30Speaker 3: it turned political after Kimmel pointed out that former President
- 37:36Speaker 3: Barack Obama made a social post congratulating the team on
- 37:39Speaker 3: their championship win. Kimmel asked if Donald Trump had reached
- 37:43Speaker 3: out yet. The players answered no in kind of unison
- 37:47Speaker 3: to Kimmel's Trump question, but then Kimmel steered the conversation
- 37:52Speaker 3: deeper into an anti Trump routine. And he had planned this.
- 37:55Speaker 3: You could tell ahead of time he goes. I'm sure
- 37:59Speaker 3: you know he's busy, he's in, he's in two weeks.
- 38:04Speaker 3: You'll hear from him. In the event that you do
- 38:07Speaker 3: get invited to the White House and you decide to
- 38:09Speaker 3: go to the White House, I have something for you,
- 38:11Speaker 3: and you can watch the girls on the tape. They
- 38:14Speaker 3: get kind of visibly kind of anxious. They're not they're
- 38:19Speaker 3: not sure that they'd wanted to go on Kimmel's show
- 38:22Speaker 3: and talk politics. He then pulls out a silver trophy
- 38:26Speaker 3: that hardly resembled the n C two A championship trophy
- 38:29Speaker 3: that sat on his desk. He said, what I want
- 38:32Speaker 3: you to do is bring this fake trophy we've made
- 38:35Speaker 3: to the White House. He's not going to know. But
- 38:37Speaker 3: when you bring a trophy, he sometimes takes it and
- 38:40Speaker 3: keeps it for himself. So this is for you guys
- 38:43Speaker 3: to take to the White House, and then you can say,
- 38:45Speaker 3: President Trump, we want you to have this, and he'll
- 38:47Speaker 3: be so happy. You'll probably get an endowment and you'll
- 38:49Speaker 3: be able to keep the real one, Kimmel said. Close.
- 38:53Speaker 3: The coach laughed at Kimmel's joke, while the players lightly clapped,
- 38:57Speaker 3: exchanging uh kind of laughs. Meanwhile, social media users criticized
- 39:06Speaker 3: Kimmel for turning the sports interview into a Trump rant.
- 39:10Speaker 3: I mean, you can't even talk about national champions now,
- 39:15Speaker 3: one ex user said, even celebrating their championship, he has
- 39:19Speaker 3: to make it about himself and his hatred for Trump.
- 39:23Speaker 3: Another user mocked, what will he do when Trump is
- 39:26Speaker 3: out of office? That show is cooked. Another user, this
- 39:32Speaker 3: is funny, but I disliked that he used the smite
- 39:35Speaker 3: that used them to smite the Trump So even some
- 39:40Speaker 3: Trump Aiters didn't like the fact that he went there.
- 39:43Speaker 3: Ucla won it's women's basketball national championship, first in program history,
- 39:47Speaker 3: this past weekend, defeating the South Carolina Gamecocks, the team
- 39:51Speaker 3: led by Don Staley that had reached the national title
- 39:53Speaker 3: game three consecutive seasons and won it in twenty twenty
- 39:55Speaker 3: four in a dominant fashion. Ucla won seventy nine fifty one.
- 40:00Speaker 3: But goodness, Jimmy, you can't, like, you can't just have
- 40:05Speaker 3: ladies on and just congratulate them and say, hey, good
- 40:08Speaker 3: for you, We're very proud of you. The whole country
- 40:11Speaker 3: good job. No, you got to turn it into something weird. Here,
- 40:17Speaker 3: take the fake trophy. He hasn't taken anybody's trophies away
- 40:20Speaker 3: from them, so I don't even know what he's talking about.
- 40:26Speaker 3: And people that give him gifts he's grateful for and
- 40:29Speaker 3: says thank you for. But he didn't take anything from anybody.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Cavin McCullough, Our number two is straight ahead, don't go anywhere.

- 41:03Speaker 3: Would like a word review.
- 41:05Speaker 4: Many of you know him from his votes for Damas.
- 41:07Speaker 2: Of course, that Kevin Show is going to be great.
- 41:09Speaker 5: The only thing that could.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Be greater, of course, would be that Donald Show.
- 41:12Speaker 4: We don't have that.
- 41:13Speaker 2: So we have That Kevin.
- 41:14Speaker 6: Show, featuring the music of Dick Tunney and the Dream

- 41:29Speaker 5: Straight ahead.
- 41:31Speaker 7: Everything you need to know about the top headlines of
- 41:33Speaker 7: the day and a perspective that will give you some
- 41:36Speaker 7: eternity to it, plus practical tips for family life, spiritual life,
- 41:43Speaker 7: and good old regular life. It's Kevin McCollough Monday through
- 41:48Speaker 7: Friday on That Kevin Show and now from the Connors
- 41:58Speaker 7: in Sullivan Broadcast Studios. A man who is not what
- 42:01Speaker 7: he wants to be, but is way grateful.
- 42:05Speaker 5: That is not who he used to be.
- 42:06Speaker 3: Here, all right, Kevin mccaullough, I glad to have you
- 42:15Speaker 3: with us. Hour two is off and running. We are
- 42:18Speaker 3: grateful to having here. It's that Kevin Show, that Kevinshow
- 42:22Speaker 3: dot Com. Yes, it's true. I am no longer the
- 42:25Speaker 3: man I once was, and I am not yet the
- 42:28Speaker 3: man I want to be. And every day we are
- 42:30Speaker 3: engaged in an exercise of trying to become just that.
- 42:34Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us do part of that with
- 42:36Speaker 3: you every day, and thank you for being here. At
- 42:39Speaker 3: the top of the show last hour, I gave you
- 42:42Speaker 3: a rundown of some of the I don't know where
- 42:44Speaker 3: things stand right now. And you know, Iron's really upset
- 42:48Speaker 3: that Israel won't stop killing terrorists that they've been needing
- 42:54Speaker 3: their help with in Hesbalah and Lebanon for the last
- 42:59Speaker 3: few days. And I don't think that the President is
- 43:02Speaker 3: moved by this at all. He's pretty much just said, look,
- 43:06Speaker 3: we're going to have this ceasefire meeting. We're going to
- 43:09Speaker 3: talk about things we want to talk about. You and Israel.
- 43:11Speaker 3: That's that's your issue. You go deal with issue with
- 43:14Speaker 3: Israel about Israel issues. But it's interesting to see all
- 43:19Speaker 3: that play out. But I wanted you to hear something
- 43:22Speaker 3: I saw on Instagram this morning. It is what you're
- 43:26Speaker 3: about to hear is a message from a young man
- 43:31Speaker 3: named Ali. He is in Iran. He is an Iranian
- 43:38Speaker 3: and he has a message for the people of the US.
- 43:40Speaker 15: Take a listen, runnian to people of America. We the
- 43:46Speaker 15: people of Iran currently have really limited access to the
- 43:49Speaker 15: power and electricity inside Iraq because the IERGYC is using
- 43:54Speaker 15: them to mining bitcoins and selling them to the China
- 43:58Speaker 15: and getting missiles and drones and then attacking your basis
- 44:02Speaker 15: in Middle East. So we have no access, we have
- 44:06Speaker 15: limited access to electricity, and if your country want to
- 44:10Speaker 15: destroy them, we appreciate that it's gonna cut off their
- 44:14Speaker 15: hand about getting resources to continue this war. And people
- 44:19Speaker 15: of United the States, if you're worried about the civilian
- 44:22Speaker 15: casualties about the war inside Iran, we didn't get even
- 44:26Speaker 15: more than one thousand civilian casualty in this war. But
- 44:30Speaker 15: in just two days one month ago, we just get
- 44:34Speaker 15: forty thousand casualties maybe more. And three years before that
- 44:39Speaker 15: tens of thousands again, and two years before that tens
- 44:44Speaker 15: of thousands again. So we are taking millions of casualties
- 44:51Speaker 15: from IERGC inside our country and we have no access
- 44:54Speaker 15: to powers. So if Donald Trump wants to destroying our power,
- 45:01Speaker 15: we will appreciate that that's helping we because it's like
- 45:05Speaker 15: a curing cancer. You cannot curing this cancer without harming
- 45:14Speaker 15: your body. It's like a surgery. So we are in
- 45:19Speaker 15: a middle of the surgery. So please don't try to
- 45:23Speaker 15: stop our surger our doctor. Let Donald Trump.
- 45:27Speaker 3: I have no.
- 45:28Speaker 15: Idea about your politics, about your country. All I'm trying
- 45:32Speaker 15: to say is as an Iranian, as an Iranian, this
- 45:36Speaker 15: is good for us. We are thankful. We are so
- 45:40Speaker 15: thankful to Donald Trump. He's destroying i ergycy, our nightmare
- 45:45Speaker 15: after fifty years. So please don't try to stop this
- 45:52Speaker 15: operation and support your government. They are not just our enemies.
- 45:55Speaker 15: They are working with China. They will attack you. You
- 46:00Speaker 15: kind of stop them right now. It's much better than future.
- 46:04Speaker 15: They're going to be more powerful for you, and we
- 46:07Speaker 15: will be destroyed by them completely. Thank you for listening.
- 46:12Speaker 3: That is an Iranian national commenting on the Trump strategy,
- 46:18Speaker 3: and I don't think a lot of people in America
- 46:20Speaker 3: have heard those words. Did you know that even without
- 46:24Speaker 3: the war, the Iranian people aren't really getting much electricity
- 46:28Speaker 3: because Iran is mining bitcoin and using it to buy
- 46:33Speaker 3: missiles and drones from China. Have you heard that reported anywhere?
- 46:39Speaker 3: By the way, I checked out this man's claims. I
- 46:43Speaker 3: have sources. You hear them on the show regularly. His
- 46:46Speaker 3: claims check out, but no one's telling the story A
- 46:50Speaker 3: month ago, forty thousand plus were killed by their own government.
- 46:55Speaker 3: Three years before that, tens of thousands more, two years
- 46:58Speaker 3: before that, tens of thousands more. Look, if you hate
- 47:01Speaker 3: Donald Trump and you want to be out there and
- 47:03Speaker 3: you want to say that this war is terrible and
- 47:06Speaker 3: you disagree with it for all the reasons that you're
- 47:09Speaker 3: allowed to have, that's fine. But don't claim to speak
- 47:14Speaker 3: for the Iranian people when the Iranian people have been
- 47:18Speaker 3: the ones that have been butchered at the hands of
- 47:21Speaker 3: these animals that are in charge of their country. And
- 47:25Speaker 3: those Iranian people are making videos with limited amounts of
- 47:29Speaker 3: electricity trying to get them out to the world, trying
- 47:31Speaker 3: to say, hey, we're thankful for what Donald Trump's doing.
- 47:36Speaker 3: We want the Irgc to be removed from power. We
- 47:39Speaker 3: don't want them to continue to have access to our
- 47:42Speaker 3: power plants so that we don't have electricity and they
- 47:45Speaker 3: can use it for the purposes that they wish. Just
- 47:47Speaker 3: be very careful, friend, There's a lot that's going to
- 47:50Speaker 3: be misrepresented because it's an election year, and there's going
- 47:53Speaker 3: to be people that are just going to be out
- 47:54Speaker 3: to make you think certain things because they think that's
- 47:58Speaker 3: what's going to get them elected. At the end of
- 48:01Speaker 3: the day, we want to be about the side that
- 48:04Speaker 3: is supporting human flourishing. At the end of the day,
- 48:07Speaker 3: we want to be about the side that's putting breath
- 48:10Speaker 3: back into lungs, that is saying to folks, you have
- 48:14Speaker 3: your accountability, you have your freedom, you have the ability
- 48:17Speaker 3: to create whatever type of government you wish, and there
- 48:21Speaker 3: are good people in Iran. They will get it done.
- 48:24Speaker 3: They will also stop harassing the Jewish community in the
- 48:28Speaker 3: Christian community that is within the Iranian borders, because in
- 48:31Speaker 3: recent years those communities have been punished almost to the
- 48:36Speaker 3: extreme of extinction. But I thought it was very very telling,
- 48:40Speaker 3: not only that this Iranian could be that granular and
- 48:44Speaker 3: specific about all the ways that our strategy is actually
- 48:48Speaker 3: good for them, but that he had the boldness to
- 48:52Speaker 3: talk about the numbers dead that the regime has put
- 48:55Speaker 3: into place forty thousand this year, just say thirty thousand
- 49:03Speaker 3: to three years before in twenty thousand before that, you're
- 49:06Speaker 3: closing in on one hundred thousand people that the regime
- 49:09Speaker 3: has killed of their own choosing. It's so interesting to
- 49:14Speaker 3: hear the mind and the heart on the other side,
- 49:18Speaker 3: because I will tell you. One of the things I've
- 49:19Speaker 3: been praying about is Lord, I don't I just don't
- 49:22Speaker 3: want to see mass casualties by innocent Iranians were there
- 49:27Speaker 3: to help them. This is why President Trump doesn't want
- 49:30Speaker 3: to blow up Card Island, because he knows that the
- 49:33Speaker 3: people of Iran will need access to their energy and
- 49:36Speaker 3: to the oil. After the regime has fallen, and after
- 49:39Speaker 3: they are able to stand on their own two feet again,
- 49:42Speaker 3: they're going to need something to export to the world
- 49:44Speaker 3: to help boost their economy. And God's given them a
- 49:47Speaker 3: lot of oil. Trump thinks about that. He thinks about
- 49:51Speaker 3: how that impacts families and human lives down the road.
- 49:55Speaker 3: He doesn't like the fighting. He wants the fighting to
- 49:58Speaker 3: be over, but he will insist on this. He may
- 50:02Speaker 3: not like fighting, but he will fight and fight as
- 50:07Speaker 3: hard as he can until the evil side relents. Sadly,
- 50:14Speaker 3: there are a lot of people in the United States
- 50:16Speaker 3: Congress and the United States Senate that believe, by taking
- 50:20Speaker 3: up the cause of the evil side that they're doing
- 50:22Speaker 3: the right thing, and it is clear that they are not.
- 50:27Speaker 3: Kevin McCullough, thank you for being here. We've got a
- 50:29Speaker 3: big hour straight ahead. Peyton McNabb is back with us
- 50:32Speaker 3: from the Independent Women's Forum. When we continue, it's that
- 50:35Speaker 3: Kevin Show, that kevinshow dot Com.
- 50:57Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. Kevin McCollough.
- 51:05Speaker 3: Welcome back to Times Square, Kevin mccaulaugh.
- 51:07Speaker 4: Glad to have you with us.
- 51:08Speaker 3: It's that Kevin Show. Yeah, there's a war, ceasefire, boil,
- 51:13Speaker 3: all the stuff that we're covering the rest of the show.
- 51:15Speaker 3: But I still think I have to clear path to
- 51:18Speaker 3: make sure we're talking about some of the other important
- 51:20Speaker 3: issues that rained down on our lives because the forces
- 51:25Speaker 3: of evil have not stopped trying to advance. And I
- 51:28Speaker 3: don't use that term lightly, but when it comes to
- 51:32Speaker 3: the issue of whether or not men should be in
- 51:35Speaker 3: women's spaces, especially private spaces in sports and locker rooms,
- 51:40Speaker 3: in bathrooms, et cetera, I just we've got to continue
- 51:43Speaker 3: to speak out until this madness is literally put down.
- 51:46Speaker 3: That's what that's what I feel that it is. Just
- 51:49Speaker 3: this morning, I was watching an influencer online who had
- 51:53Speaker 3: a clip of Megan Rappino from the US soccer team,
- 51:57Speaker 3: and she was saying, once again in her view that
- 52:00Speaker 3: the Olympics in twenty twenty eight by not allowing biological
- 52:05Speaker 3: men to compete in women's categories, is somehow hurting the
- 52:08Speaker 3: cause of women. Here to discuss this and a lot
- 52:11Speaker 3: of other things is Peyton McNabb, who's been with us
- 52:13Speaker 3: several times. She's endured the pain of this issue personally,
- 52:19Speaker 3: but she's now turned her energy to becoming an ambassador
- 52:23Speaker 3: for the Independent Women's Forum out talking about this with
- 52:26Speaker 3: people and putting common sense back into the conversation. Peyton,
- 52:30Speaker 3: it's great to see you. Thanks for being here.
- 52:32Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, it's always good to be on the show.
- 52:34Speaker 3: Love having you. What do you make of Megan Rappino
- 52:38Speaker 3: saying that she's almost couching it as though you're only
- 52:44Speaker 3: allowing one definition of women to be established, therefore you're
- 52:48Speaker 3: hurting other women, Like it doesn't make sense to me.
- 52:54Speaker 16: No, I don't think it makes sense to quite frankly,
- 52:56Speaker 16: anyone that has any kind of call and since at all.
- 53:01Speaker 16: You know, this is someone that is very successful athlete,
- 53:04Speaker 16: female athlete, who got all the benefits of competing only
- 53:08Speaker 16: against women. I mean, she's she's rich, now, she's famous,
- 53:13Speaker 16: she got all of.
- 53:13Speaker 5: The benefits, Cup champion medals, oh like.
- 53:18Speaker 16: Literally all the above and this was everything that tad
- 53:21Speaker 16: on On fought to protect, right, So I mean, this
- 53:23Speaker 16: is great for her, that was exactly what should.
- 53:25Speaker 5: Have been done.
- 53:26Speaker 16: But now that she's done and she doesn't, no longer
- 53:28Speaker 16: applies to her like it doesn't matter. And when I
- 53:33Speaker 16: was listening to her, it was just so funny because
- 53:36Speaker 16: she's like, this isn't protecting.
- 53:38Speaker 5: Women at all. This is so insane.
- 53:40Speaker 16: She's like so mad about this, but that's literally exactly
- 53:44Speaker 16: what it is protecting. There is only one definition of women.
- 53:47Speaker 16: There is only women and men. Like, I don't know
- 53:50Speaker 16: how much simple and clear like everyone has to be
- 53:53Speaker 16: about it because obviously nothing's clicking, and it's just sad
- 53:58Speaker 16: to see, Like, I don't know, I'm sure there are
- 54:00Speaker 16: little girls that are are soccer players who look up
- 54:04Speaker 16: to her, and it's sad because she's like foughting against
- 54:06Speaker 16: them en face.
- 54:08Speaker 3: What I would really like to help everyone understand is
- 54:12Speaker 3: that Megan Rappino, competing against women, having done so at
- 54:16Speaker 3: the highest levels, achieving what she's accomplished, could still be
- 54:21Speaker 3: beaten one on one by most high school boys. And
- 54:24Speaker 3: she's probably the most elite soccer player in women's history
- 54:29Speaker 3: in terms of well known and what she's accomplished and
- 54:31Speaker 3: so forth. I would argue there were other people on
- 54:33Speaker 3: that World Cup team that were better than her, but
- 54:35Speaker 3: she was kind of the captain. So as she gets
- 54:37Speaker 3: all the glory, you're not even having to go into
- 54:40Speaker 3: the locker rooms or to the privacy issues or anything
- 54:42Speaker 3: like that. This is just what is dangerous and what
- 54:45Speaker 3: is good for the people in the field of play.
- 54:47Speaker 5: Yeah, agreed.
- 54:48Speaker 16: I mean, I'm pretty sure they did play against a
- 54:51Speaker 16: team of hoschool boys and they lost, because I remember
- 54:55Speaker 16: posting about this last time. Everyone in the comments was saying,
- 54:58Speaker 16: I mean she did play, saying, let's see Raupino against
- 55:01Speaker 16: mess versus Messi, because she says there's no like, there's
- 55:05Speaker 16: no advantage there, so why don't we see that? But
- 55:07Speaker 16: everyone was telling me, like, no, let's just see her
- 55:10Speaker 16: play against a sixteen year old.
- 55:12Speaker 5: Boy, because we did see that and they did lose.
- 55:15Speaker 3: So and everybody remembers back to Billy Jean King and
- 55:18Speaker 3: she beat Bobby Riggs in that one on one male
- 55:20Speaker 3: female challenge. Bobby Riggs was one hundred and eighty six
- 55:24Speaker 3: years old when they played, and she barely beat him.
- 55:28Speaker 3: This this is what we're talking about and when you're
- 55:30Speaker 3: talking about specifically contact sports lacrosse, soccer, basketball, these types
- 55:36Speaker 3: of things where there's a lot of contact, a lot
- 55:39Speaker 3: of body parts that get thrown around and stuff, the
- 55:42Speaker 3: likelihood of injury does go up exponentially. So it's not
- 55:45Speaker 3: it's not like this is just you know, like racers
- 55:49Speaker 3: racing in their own lane. That's unfair too for a
- 55:51Speaker 3: whole different reason. But this is this is not only
- 55:54Speaker 3: that it's dangerous. So let's talk about where things stand.
- 55:57Speaker 3: The Olympics in twenty twenty eight have decided that they're
- 56:01Speaker 3: going to kind of regain sanity a little bit and
- 56:05Speaker 3: they're not going to let men be in the women's division.
- 56:08Speaker 3: And this is what Megan and some others are really
- 56:10Speaker 3: upset about. But this should be received well by female
- 56:14Speaker 3: athletes especially.
- 56:15Speaker 16: Yeah, correct, this is the exact right stance they should
- 56:19Speaker 16: have taken, especially after the disaster of the last Olympics
- 56:22Speaker 16: when they let not even just one, but two grown
- 56:25Speaker 16: men win Olympic gold for punching women in the face.
- 56:28Speaker 16: Like it just sounds so crazy, but that was actually
- 56:31Speaker 16: real life. So this was the perfect right step in
- 56:35Speaker 16: the right direction, and honestly, the only saving grace. I
- 56:38Speaker 16: feel like they could have done what they're requiring. Here
- 56:42Speaker 16: is a basic one time test. I'm sorry, my cats
- 56:46Speaker 16: like attacking me one time mouth swab, which is not
- 56:52Speaker 16: invasive at all. But the same people who are saying
- 56:55Speaker 16: that's invasive, don't think it's invasive for these girls to
- 56:58Speaker 16: be undressing in front of them?
- 57:00Speaker 5: Can fully thank you?
- 57:00Speaker 3: Can we get some degree of something that's seeing here?
- 57:05Speaker 3: Put a swab in your mouth, pull it out. You
- 57:07Speaker 3: could even take the swab yourself and then hand them
- 57:09Speaker 3: the Q tip. They don't. You don't have to let
- 57:11Speaker 3: somebody else do it. Yeah, but that's invasive. But putting
- 57:15Speaker 3: a dude, putting Leah Thomas in the same locker room
- 57:20Speaker 3: with Riley Gaines, that wasn't invasive.
- 57:24Speaker 16: Yeah, Like these people have zero sanity, like you're saying,
- 57:27Speaker 16: And you know, I have a hard time. I really
- 57:30Speaker 16: really struggle listening to anything anyone says if they think
- 57:34Speaker 16: that's ever okay, So for them, of course there's going
- 57:37Speaker 16: to be something wrong with it. I've had I think
- 57:40Speaker 16: I've heard Riley say just the drug testing alone and
- 57:44Speaker 16: for a college athlete was way more invasive than this
- 57:47Speaker 16: would be. And it's just a one time test that
- 57:50Speaker 16: every single organization should take part in. I mean, this
- 57:53Speaker 16: should be like the NCAA should take the hint here
- 57:57Speaker 16: that this is the right move, because what they tried
- 58:00Speaker 16: to do is do the birth certificate thing. Well, I mean,
- 58:02Speaker 16: forty four states you can change your birth certificate and
- 58:05Speaker 16: all around the world. So why don't we just do
- 58:08Speaker 16: this really cheap, really simple, really easy test, highly accurate,
- 58:13Speaker 16: highly highly accurate. I mean, the science in the biology
- 58:16Speaker 16: doesn't lie.
- 58:17Speaker 3: Well if you want to be super fair to everybody,
- 58:20Speaker 3: and you know, you can swab men too in the
- 58:22Speaker 3: in the men's division, just to make sure that there's
- 58:24Speaker 3: no women cheating over there. Yeah, this is why it
- 58:28Speaker 3: never goes the opposite direction.
- 58:30Speaker 16: Ela, what you would find out it's from the testing
- 58:32Speaker 16: over there because you don't hear from that side. You
- 58:35Speaker 16: do not hear women dominating on the men's side, and
- 58:38Speaker 16: then like they don't want to hear that though.
- 58:40Speaker 5: It's it's this is such a stupid argument.
- 58:43Speaker 3: What's going on with with with high school and the
- 58:46Speaker 3: Department of Education because you've written about this recently.
- 58:50Speaker 16: Yeah, I think, I mean, honestly, I've talked about this before.
- 58:53Speaker 16: You know, it was just kind of this is really
- 58:55Speaker 16: personal to.
- 58:56Speaker 3: Me because well in high athletic career and.
- 59:01Speaker 16: It completely like it changed my whole life and it
- 59:05Speaker 16: ended my career. So it's really just nice to see
- 59:10Speaker 16: a Department of Education take such a big stance on
- 59:15Speaker 16: such an important issue that are affecting thousands and thousands
- 59:19Speaker 16: of girls all across the country, and you know, the
- 59:22Speaker 16: last administration. Of course, we give this whole administration like
- 59:26Speaker 16: a big applaud for even taking on this issue, that
- 59:29Speaker 16: campaigned on it heavily. They actually met their promises really
- 59:34Speaker 16: early on, and I'm very thankful for that. I know
- 59:37Speaker 16: all the women and girl athletes they should be, because
- 59:41Speaker 16: the last administration, I mean, it was like we were
- 59:43Speaker 16: we were yelling into this empty abyss. No one was
- 59:47Speaker 16: even acknowledging us. So for it to go to that
- 59:50Speaker 16: to where we are today and such a short amount
- 59:52Speaker 16: of time, honestly, it's been really relieving and really encouraging.
- 59:58Speaker 16: And of course there's a to do still and it's
- 1:00:01Speaker 16: not done. I wish it was, because literally, at the
- 1:00:05Speaker 16: end of the day, the only people that this is
- 1:00:07Speaker 16: hurting are the girl athletes who are never going to
- 1:00:09Speaker 16: get this time back. So I wish we could get
- 1:00:12Speaker 16: this accomplished sooner rather than later, of course, but just
- 1:00:16Speaker 16: for the short time frame that we've.
- 1:00:18Speaker 5: Had, we've got a lot done.
- 1:00:20Speaker 16: And I know I as well as every other woman
- 1:00:23Speaker 16: and girl and man that is helping five, this is
- 1:00:26Speaker 16: not going to stop until it's fully fought.
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: That's why we cover it here, and we have since
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: before it was popular. You know, Kelsey Bowler was with
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: me for two years talking about this before anybody else
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: was picking it up anywhere. And we're going to keep
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: fighting because I have a thirteen year old I have
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: a eleven year old daughter and she's just coming into
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: that stage of life where she's going to be impacted
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: by this in a big way. And men and women
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: fully equal in God's eyes, That's why he created them
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: and said that they were good, fully different in terms
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: of function and distinction in terms of what they have
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: that bring unique things to the table in the formation
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: of a family especially, and that is that simple design
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: by God is something that I believe we should be applauding,
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: encouraging and continuing to propagate. We need more, we need
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: more kids. And if we just say that there's no
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: difference in men and women, you basically discourage a culture
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: from going down that path. Peyton McNabb, thank you for
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: all your good work with the independent women and keep
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: it up.
- 1:01:31Speaker 5: Thank you so much.
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: Kevin, you got it. Kevin mccallough coming back. Don't go anywhere.
- 1:01:37Speaker 11: Let's stick around for more than Kevin next here he
- 1:01:57Speaker 11: is from New York, Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: Thank you for being here.
- 1:02:05Speaker 3: Kevin McCullough. Couldn't be happier than to have you with us.
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: It is that Kevin Show, that Kevinshow dot com for
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: everything related, and I hope that you will follow us
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: on all of our socials. Be in touch with me
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: at that Kevinshow dot com via Gmail, that Kevin Show
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: at gmail dot com if you want to email me.
- 1:02:22Speaker 7: Uh.
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: And we've got a lot that we're going to still
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: get to, but I have to stop everything at this
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: point in time. And I have to say thank you
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: to a very special listener. A woman by the name
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: of Marylyn, who was listening at sometime late in the
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: evening in California last night, responded to our you know,
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: desire to feed these kids that we've been talking about
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: with food for the poor.
- 1:02:56Speaker 4: Uh.
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: And I'm just going to embarrass Marylyn completely because as
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: she was listening last night, something touched her heart and
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: she said, I want to be a part of giving
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: these children two meals a day and clean drinking water
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: for the next year. And there are those times when
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: people step up and they say things and you kind
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: of think, oh that, you know, it's nice that they're
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: doing that. I'm glad that they're doing that. But there
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: are those that also that say, you know, I want
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: to use my life and my resources and who I
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: am to make a difference. And so when Marilyn hurd
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: Us discussing it, and she knew that there was a
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: match in place, she said, well, what can I do?
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: How can I best help? And so she picked up
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: the phone and said, okay, for the next year, thirteen
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: children are what I want to help. And she just
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: gave the money and they're seventy five dollars each, So
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: she just one thousand dollars like that. But she did
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: it because she understands that children will go hungry and
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: die of thirst if we don't reach the seven hundred
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: and twenty children that are on the list. So she
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: took care of thirteen. Now what she may or may
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: not have known, was at that very same time there
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: was a match in place, so her thirteen children became
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: twenty six children. Friends, I want you to think about
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: the fact that that's the size of the average classroom
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: in American schools, And she said, in one gift, I
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: want to see to it that an entire classroom of
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: kids that right now are starving right now, are not
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: getting two meals a day, right now, are not getting
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: clean drinking water. She decided in that moment, I want
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: to be the agent that changes the equation for those children.
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: And because it was being matched, an entire classroom of
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: kids is going to receive two meals a day and
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: all the clean drinking water that they can drink. And
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: if you want to think of it this way, for
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: the next year, she just ponied up for eighteen thousand
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: and ninety eight meals. Maryland from California, You're my hero.
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: I'm so grateful that whatever prompted your heart, you said,
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: I want to be sensitive and I want to help kids.
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: And in one gift, boom an entire classroom eighteen thousand
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: meals and enough clean drinking water for all of them
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: to go next year without ever dehydrating. Thank you, Marilyn.
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: Thank you for your heart. Thank you for quietly giving
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: in the middle of the night. I think it was
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: sometime after midnight when you gave. It was like three
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: o'clock New York time. But the fact that you were up,
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: you were listening, you were moved, and you said, I
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: want to be part of the solution, it just touched
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: me incredibly. And I don't mean to make this just
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: about people who can give big gifts, but I do
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: want to mention someone else who I don't have permission
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: to use his name, But if you're a certain person
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: who lives in Levittown, New York, you know exactly what
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: you did earlier this year, and instead of eighteen thousand meals,
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: you gave one hundred and eighty thousand meals. And instead
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: of twenty six kids, you helped two hundred and sixty
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: kids because of the match. Two people, different means, different levels,
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: but both people that said I want to make a difference.
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: I want to help stem the suffering of children who
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: are right now aching in their belly because they don't
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: have food to eat, and I want to use my
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: resources to do something about it. And friends, if you
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: have as little as seventy five dollars. Right now, you
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: can provide two meals a day and all the clean
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: drinking water that child can consume for the next year.
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: Right now, that one time gift of seventy five dollars
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: will help one child. We are getting closer and closer
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: to helping all seven hundred and twenty children. We cannot
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: do this without you. We need your help and time
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: is running out for these kids. Every day that we
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: can't feed one of them, that's a day closer that
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: they get to possibly dying. So thank you to your
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: generous support. Thank you for your big heart. Thank you
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: for just wanting to do the right thing. Eight five

- 1:08:57Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. Kevin McCullough.
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: All right, Kevin mccallough, very glad to have you with us.
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: It's Thursday, otherwise known as my busy day of the week,
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: but super glad to have you here. And one of
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: the things we do on this day is we kind
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: of set aside the news for a few minutes and
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: we talked to Shelley Goldberg about one little thing we
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: can do in our parenting experience that might make parenting
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: a more worthy endeavor. And Shelley, thank you for being back.
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: We've talked about a lot of different types of things,
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: but we're going very specific today.
- 1:09:30Speaker 5: What is it that's right, Kevin?
- 1:09:32Speaker 17: It's spring time and when I think of spring, I
- 1:09:36Speaker 17: think of the birds.
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: When I think of the birds, I think of music.
- 1:09:40Speaker 17: And when I think of music, I think of all
- 1:09:42Speaker 17: the joy, the happiness that music brings to us has
- 1:09:47Speaker 17: grown ups, and certainly to our children. It does so
- 1:09:51Speaker 17: much for their health, focus, concentration, relaxation. But most of all, Kevin,
- 1:09:57Speaker 17: I think music is a place. It's a lifelong friend,
- 1:10:01Speaker 17: and it's a place that kids can always go back
- 1:10:03Speaker 17: to to find comfort, they can share their emotions and
- 1:10:08Speaker 17: confide in. It does so many things, so many things.
- 1:10:11Speaker 17: So today is not about lessons. It's not about is
- 1:10:15Speaker 17: your child a musical prodigy? It's what can we do
- 1:10:19Speaker 17: as parents and grandparents to just help kids develop this
- 1:10:23Speaker 17: excitement as joy does wonder about music. So number one,
- 1:10:28Speaker 17: you want to you want to introduce your kids to
- 1:10:31Speaker 17: all kinds of music, bluegrass, jazz, rock, classical, play it all.
- 1:10:36Speaker 17: You never know what your kids are going to gravitate
- 1:10:39Speaker 17: towards what they're going to connect with, So play all
- 1:10:41Speaker 17: the music right.
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: Be a great role model.
- 1:10:44Speaker 17: Yes, Kevin, that means with little ones sing along to
- 1:10:47Speaker 17: the Itsy Bitsy Spider. Let your kids see you, Kevin,
- 1:10:51Speaker 17: break into song in the middle of a day. If
- 1:10:54Speaker 17: there's an instrument that you Kevin always wanted to play,
- 1:10:58Speaker 17: learn how to play. Maybe it's the violin, Maybe you
- 1:11:01Speaker 17: play it already. I don't know, but let your kids
- 1:11:04Speaker 17: see that. Hey, Dad's gonna he wants to learn how
- 1:11:06Speaker 17: to play this instrument too. Incorporate music into all your
- 1:11:11Speaker 17: everyday activities. A brush your teeth song, a bedtime song
- 1:11:16Speaker 17: in addition to the bedtime story, a washing dishes song.
- 1:11:20Speaker 17: You can also bring in the dancing, the singing, the movement,
- 1:11:24Speaker 17: the handclapping, all great things. Se listen to music together
- 1:11:28Speaker 17: in the car. Share your favorite songs. What did Kevin
- 1:11:32Speaker 17: love to hear when he was a young child or
- 1:11:36Speaker 17: just beginning to go out into the world your favorite songs.
- 1:11:40Speaker 17: You also want to expose your kids spend time in nature,
- 1:11:45Speaker 17: because in nature so encouraging your kids to hear those
- 1:11:49Speaker 17: sounds that are all around them. And then one of
- 1:11:53Speaker 17: the most exhilarating things that you can do is introduce
- 1:11:56Speaker 17: your kids to live music, live musical events. Get them
- 1:12:00Speaker 17: out there. It can be something as simple as listening
- 1:12:03Speaker 17: to someone playing a guitar at the local coffeehouse, or
- 1:12:08Speaker 17: something bigger and bolder. When I was at New York One,
- 1:12:11Speaker 17: I used to do every week report on great educational
- 1:12:14Speaker 17: places to take your kids, and one of my favorites
- 1:12:17Speaker 17: was the Little Orchestra Society. They're almost eighty years old.
- 1:12:22Speaker 17: It's an orchestra. They bring an addition to the orchestra
- 1:12:25Speaker 17: which introduces kids to classical and contemporary composers. They bring
- 1:12:29Speaker 17: young people ten twelve years old on stage to play instruments.
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: And then the New York Theater Ballet.
- 1:12:36Speaker 17: Brings young people on to interpret the music with dance.
- 1:12:40Speaker 17: So if you're in New York City at the k Playhouse,
- 1:12:43Speaker 17: they're great. Every city, every big city, in every little
- 1:12:46Speaker 17: city has a full listing of places musical events that
- 1:12:50Speaker 17: you can take your kids to and your job as
- 1:12:52Speaker 17: a parent search it out. And the other thing I
- 1:12:56Speaker 17: was going to say, Kevin, is exposure kids to a
- 1:12:59Speaker 17: variety of musical instruments. When they're toddlers, that means the
- 1:13:02Speaker 17: wooden spoon, pots and pans. But as they're older, go
- 1:13:05Speaker 17: to a music store, let them try out the different instruments.
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: You can rent instruments. You don't have to necessarily buy them.
- 1:13:12Speaker 17: If your neighbor has an accordion or a piano, go
- 1:13:15Speaker 17: or let your kids explore the instrument.
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: What goes on in the McCollough household, Kevin.
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: Well, Shelly, you really touched on something that we have
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: so infused into our life and everything from just seeing
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: Shan Yun last weekend and listening to the live orchestra
- 1:13:33Speaker 3: there to writing in the car and picking out you know,
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: as we're listening to music, I'll hear something and I'll say,
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: do you hear fill in the blank? What instrument is
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: playing that solo right there? You know what is happening
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: in the in the rhythm section of what you hear here.
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of multiple sides of benefits
- 1:13:59Speaker 3: to this, but one is careful listening and when you
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: can train your ear to be able to spot and
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: hear the things, even in the mix of an orchestra
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: or rock band or other things, to find that one
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: instrument that you're listening for. To do that type of thing,
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: it also trains mental acuity as it pertains to sound.
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: And when it comes to what you said about the
- 1:14:19Speaker 3: clinking of the glasses, we have a modern version of
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: that person. Now. His name is Charlie Pooth and he literally,
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: and I'll play this as we close the show out today,
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: but he literally sat with Jimmy Kimmel a few months
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: ago and formed an entire song just from a sentence
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: that Jimmy Kimmel spoke in one of the questions that
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: he asked him. And so he picks out the little
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: high hat from on the end of a word, and
- 1:14:49Speaker 3: he says the word bin, and in the word bin,
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: he pulls the to be the kick drum for the song,
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: and he assembles it all in just a few seconds
- 1:14:58Speaker 3: and then plays it back in the crowd goes wild.
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: But the point is, if you listen carefully for it,
- 1:15:03Speaker 3: you will find music everywhere. And one of the things
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: that drives my bride batty crazy about me is that
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: I'm always you know, tapping out a bead or a
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: humming a tune or whistling a melody or something along
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: those lines. Because if you have that love for music
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: in you, it can't stay in you. It has to
- 1:15:24Speaker 3: come out. And we're very, very fortunate to have three
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: kids who just love music all kinds of different ways.
- 1:15:30Speaker 3: My you know, math science guy, he likes the very rhythmic, mechanical,
- 1:15:34Speaker 3: mathematical precision of kind of like dance and video game music.
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: But my baby, she's into melody and she's into soaring
- 1:15:43Speaker 3: you know, arias and musicals and those types of things
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: as well. So it's it enriches the people's lives as
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: they enjoy it and as you see them enjoy and
- 1:15:52Speaker 3: coming to life in it. So yes, yes, yes, yes,
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: yes yes. Just drown your kids in music every chance
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: that you have, all kinds of styles, varieties, And if
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: your church going people, don't be the parents that stand
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: there and don't sing during worship, Sing with your whole heart,
- 1:16:09Speaker 3: sing with your whole, your whole heart, your whole voice.
- 1:16:13Speaker 3: Because we are told more often in scripture than almost
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: any other command to sing and make a joyful noise
- 1:16:18Speaker 3: to God. It honors the creator when we use our
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: voice to sing back to him. So anyway, enough of
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: sermon keV today. But yes, big big music fans in
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: the mccaullough house.
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: Kevin, that was stuping. Thank you.
- 1:16:32Speaker 3: You got it all right, Kevin mccallough, coming right back.
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: I'm gonna go whistle at tune during the break.
- 1:16:36Speaker 4: Don't go way stick.
- 1:16:37Speaker 12: Around for more of that, Kevin down next.
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: Serving it up with a no drink minimal. It's that
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: Kenda show.
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: All right, Calum McCollough. I'd have with us on this Thursday.
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: It's so much fun to talk about what I was
- 1:17:03Speaker 3: just talking about with Shelley Goldberg. And yes, I believe
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: that you should have you kids like saturated with music
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: everywhere they turn all the time. It's so much fun.
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: And she was talking about that famous situation where the
- 1:17:16Speaker 3: musician said, I want to hear the tinkling of the glasses.
- 1:17:19Speaker 3: He was hearing music and everything around him. Well, we
- 1:17:22Speaker 3: have a similar mind walking around the planet right now.
- 1:17:25Speaker 3: Who thinks like that. His name is Charlie Pooth and
- 1:17:28Speaker 3: this was him with Jimmy Fallon just a couple of
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: months ago before his new album came out. But just
- 1:17:36Speaker 3: listen to what he does with a little line of
- 1:17:39Speaker 3: a song. He had Jimmy Fallon singing a portion of
- 1:17:42Speaker 3: one of his songs, and then watch what he does
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: with it. Take to listen.
- 1:17:45Speaker 10: It's been some changes and a life.
- 1:17:51Speaker 18: No, it's good and I like this part at the
- 1:17:52Speaker 18: end here where oh no, I kind of improvised it earlier,
- 1:17:58Speaker 18: I improvised.
- 1:18:00Speaker 5: Check it out.
- 1:18:00Speaker 18: So now we'll go back to the vocals in the second.
- 1:18:02Speaker 18: But we want to make some drums here. So I
- 1:18:04Speaker 18: really like when you say distance that that sounds like
- 1:18:08Speaker 18: a high hat.
- 1:18:09Speaker 5: I can feel the distance distance.
- 1:18:12Speaker 18: So just take the little and then just okay, so
- 1:18:16Speaker 18: don't clap yet, so or clap. So now we make
- 1:18:21Speaker 18: our kick drum change. There's been there's been been sounds
- 1:18:26Speaker 18: like there's been some changes. But we got the pitch
- 1:18:30Speaker 18: beIN down.
- 1:18:33Speaker 5: Second almost there.
- 1:18:37Speaker 18: And put a little into it, and then you put
- 1:18:40Speaker 18: the kick drum with your with your high hat, and
- 1:18:42Speaker 18: it sounds like this.
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: Can you can you can?
- 1:18:50Speaker 8: You can?
- 1:18:51Speaker 18: You just snap for me really quickly, you said let
- 1:18:53Speaker 18: me here record perfect second. I mean, okay, so that's
- 1:19:05Speaker 18: the drums, So let's go back crazy.
- 1:19:07Speaker 5: Let's just wait, let's go back.
- 1:19:08Speaker 18: To the vocals now, I mean it's been I'm going
- 1:19:11Speaker 18: to manipulate your voice to sound like a little like
- 1:19:13Speaker 18: high pitch like Alvin and the Chipmunks.
- 1:19:14Speaker 5: There's been some changes. Why, And here's another harmony a
- 1:19:20Speaker 5: little bit lower. There's been some changes.
- 1:19:23Speaker 18: And and here's a really really low one. But look
- 1:19:31Speaker 18: what happens when you put everything together.
- 1:19:34Speaker 10: There's been some changes.
- 1:19:36Speaker 18: And let's put it with the drums.
- 1:19:41Speaker 10: Now, there's been some changes.
- 1:19:52Speaker 3: And then and then this is the funny part he
- 1:19:55Speaker 3: gets the band is come in and join him on
- 1:19:58Speaker 3: the on the chorus. It's just it's hilarious. And friends,
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm geeking out on this a little
- 1:20:03Speaker 3: bit because I love music. I think music is really
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: a gift from God to all of us. What music
- 1:20:10Speaker 3: does to our soul, the way it wraps up our emotions,
- 1:20:14Speaker 3: with our with our thoughts, and what we can express
- 1:20:17Speaker 3: it through worship, it's just it's just it's just really
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: really cool. So I don't know if you've given any
- 1:20:23Speaker 3: thought tonight to putting a little more music into your kids' lives,
- 1:20:26Speaker 3: but I want to say thank you to Shelly Goldberg
- 1:20:28Speaker 3: for making me think about this out of the box.
- 1:20:31Speaker 3: My kids already love music, but we're going to keep
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: loving it even more. And if I can encourage you
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: to have a love for it as well, wherever you
- 1:20:38Speaker 3: find it. And maybe you're a classical hound, maybe you
- 1:20:41Speaker 3: love the creativity of jazz, maybe you love the mathematics
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: of pre recorded you know, dance tracks and things. But
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: there's if you look carefully enough, you will see God's
- 1:20:53Speaker 3: hand of creation through every aspect of our lives, and
- 1:20:57Speaker 3: the least of which is not the incredible gift that
- 1:21:02Speaker 3: He's given us through music. And it's one of the
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: reasons why I think you should sing loud when you
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: go to church this weekend, Sing your heart's content, sing
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: out the joy and the praise of the Lord, because
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: that is something that honors him, because you are using
- 1:21:18Speaker 3: what He gave you to give that praise back to him,
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: and his heart is full because of that. Kevin McCullough,
- 1:21:26Speaker 3: have a great, great one. We will see you tomorrow.
