  Speaker 5: and we are ending the week on a good note
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: on several different fronts. I'm excited that we've made it
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: through the week with Doug Becker, and we're going to
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: look at our final few evidences of God and how
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: do we live today. Christine Nicholas should be along to
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: give us a preview of some fun stuff going on
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: this weekend. We've got I believe we have Bethany Mandel
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: weighing in on the latest from her perspective on the
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Israeli Lebanon ceasefire, which is huge because it has to
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: do with our breaking top story, which is today that
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Trump is confirming Iran is making a major move and
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: key oil route after US blockade in the region. Friends,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: I told you at the beginning of the week this
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: wasn't going to take that long. I said that, I
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: said it a couple of times, and here we are
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: just at the end of the week where the blockade
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: went into effect and boom, the Iranian Foreign minister saying
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: straight of hor Moves opened through Iran approved route. Trump responding,
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: the Iranian Foreign Minister say Ed Abbas Aragchi said Friday
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: that the straight of Hoar Moves is open. President Donald
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Trump appeared to respond on truth Social writing, Iran has
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: just announced that the straight of Hormona is full of hormones,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: is fully open and ready for full passage.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you. As a result, well, he goes on to say,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the straight off Hormons is completely open and ready for
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: business and full passage. But the naval blockade will remain
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: in full force and effect as it pertains to Iran
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: only until such a time as our transaction with Iran
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: is one hundred percent complete. This process should go very quickly,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: in that most of the points are already negotiated. Now,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna pretend, friends, that we
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: didn't hear some of the same talk just a week ago.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna pretend that when they show up in
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Islamabad or wherever they're going to meet this this weekend
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to have these talks, that it's just going to be
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: peachy keen. But I will say one thing. They're in
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: a definitively worse position than they were a week ago.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: They are significantly economically strapped from where they were a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: week ago. And this is not this is not this
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: is not anywhere close to being over yet because I
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: don't I don't trust them. I don't think the President
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: does either. So the whole thing is trust, but verify.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: So okay, Ron, say whatever you want to, but until until, if,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and when we can verify that what you're saying is
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: actually true, you're going to be You're gonna be in
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: pretty tough straits. But the idea here is that the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Straight of hor Moves is going to be open. And
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: it's really interesting to watch the media this morning too,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: because there are all of these reports, including in Fox News,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: where they're saying, oh, England and France are getting together
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to talk about the future of the Straight of Horror
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Moves without America. That's the way the headlines are running today.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Can I just make an observation, and it's an observation
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I've been making for the last two or three weeks.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: The Straight of horn Moves has almost no effect on
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: America at all. The fact that the European powers, France,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: in England and all their might are getting together and saying, hey,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: maybe we should have the future plan for how to
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: keep the Straight of hor Moves open is actually very
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: wise because they're the countries that benefit from it far
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: more than the US does. And it shouldn't require our military,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: our sailors, our boats to keep the straight open. That
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: should be something that the country's involved in using the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Strait should be discussing and preparing for. So while the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: press is trying to make a big deal about how
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: England and France is trying to nix out the US
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: from future involvement and the Straight of Horn moves. Fine,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: we don't get our oil from there, we don't ship
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: our products through there. There's almost nothing that comes through
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the Straight of hor Moves that impacts America in any
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: way at all. So the idea that you know, oh
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: my goodness, they're going to have some sort of say
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: over this this passageway that we don't have input, it's
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: so good. That's like the wars that take place in
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Europe should be dealt with by Europe. Europe should have
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: handled Ukraine Russia by now. They should have seen it finished.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: They should have gotten with the two countries, got him
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: in the rooms, negotiated. Oh they're not strong enough to
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: get their attentions. Well, now that's a different problem. But
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's idea of philosophically being America first, and America
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: first in our interests, taking care of our business that
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: affects our people, and dealing with the things that our
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: nation is impacted by That's where the focus of the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: American administration should be, and with Trump it is now
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: He's gone to the wall for those countries on the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: straight of horror moves and it looks like it looks
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: like he got it open, So good for him. We
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: still need the Uranian stockpiles. We need to get those
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: out of Iran, and then we need to make sure
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: that they have some sort of government that we can
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: deal with on some level and work with that they
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: don't have to be a carbon copy of an American
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: democracy or republic. That is not necessary. But the idea
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that we are getting closer is certainly one that I'm embracing,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and I think that it is I think it is
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: for a good cause that this weekend, if the whoever's
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: remaining of the Iranian leadership wishes to have a future,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: they show up and actually negotiate this time, twenty three
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: hours of talking to do nothing like last weekend. What
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a joke, What an absolute pathetic. And the thing is
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: that's how iron rolls like. They'll promise they'll go to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: this table, then they'll stall, then they'll delay, then they'll
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: recan and go back to the positions they were at before.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: So again I don't trust anything that they're doing, none
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: of it until we can verify it, and once we
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: can verify it, once their actions are consistent with what
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: they are promising. Now we've got a whole different ballgame
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: in effect. But it's not going to it's not just
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: going to be one of these things like you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, sure, whatever you say, I believe you completely.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: So that's the latest on the war in Iran. And
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think no matter what the headlines say about
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: France and England, the UK taking the lead on the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: future security plan for the straight Orford moves and not
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: including us, that doesn't bother me at all, not at all.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: The President of Lebanon doesn't wish them to be there
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and wishes that they weren't operating there. The Lebanon is
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: a troubled place and it's having a lot of pain
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: these days. And I'm hopeful that with a ten day
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: cease fire there, with the blockade firmly in place, with
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: US getting access to Iranian accounts in all of the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: neighboring countries and getting their getting access to their moneies. Friends.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: It's the the Iranian Mullahs. They're they're they're in a
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: tough They're in.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: A tough spot.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Let's hope that this weekend they realize what they're what
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: kind of tough spot they're in, and they actually make
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: a common sense decision to say, okay, enough, we give uncle.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: All right, Calvin McCall is super glad to have you
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: with us.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, Doug Becker rounds out the week on
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: how do we live with some very common misconceptions about
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the arguments for God's existence. You don't want to miss
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: this and of the week and lots more straight ahead.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: It's that cabin show.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. That Kevin McCullough, all.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Right, welcome back in Kevin McCullough, it's Friday. You've got
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: to love that. And I love the fact that we
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: get together every day for a couple of hours talk
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: about the things going on around us and try to
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: think through them from a biblical and common sense and
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: truth based perspective. But the reason that we take this
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: time out here at the beginning of the show is
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: to just reset our mind and say, how do we
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: live in a world that despises God, really dislikes his word,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: and thinks that people that follow him may be a
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: little bit goofy, which in my case is true, but
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: in many people's cases isn't. But how do we live
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: in that context? I would argue that it does not
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: change mission. It does not change our focus or our
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: goal that if the Gospel is the good News, we
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: are about giving that to people. And sometimes we run
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: across people that just don't even believe that God is there,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: or so they say, I have trouble believing that Doug
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Becker has been with us this week from Emergence Church
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey, and Doug, it's true, I don't. I
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: think there are very I think there are far fewer
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: atheists in the world than may proclaim that they are,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: because I think that in the and I think that
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: even some of our discussion this week has pointed to
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: it that deep down in people's souls, there's a reality
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: that there is something bigger than us, outside of us
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: and far beyond us that is not us. And I
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: just think that a lot of times when people say, well,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I have a hard time accepting God's existence, that that's
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: just really something else, but that's what they're going for. Nonetheless,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: we've been arguing for the substance of the evidence that
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: God does exist. And we're ending the week today with what.
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: We are going to talk about some common mistakes that
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: people make when arguing against God. Okay, yeah, you know,
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: we've got we've run a couple of the a few
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: of the more common arguments in favor of God's existence.
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: But in conversations with people and you know, observing content
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: online or whatever, you know, wherever you're getting it, here
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: are some things that like where I guess people arguing
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: for atheism or arguing against God, where I think they
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: get it wrong. So the first main type of mistake
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: is there's actually two species of this. One is when
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: science is pitted against God. Okay, so so the first,
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: the first kind of this is that is thinking that
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: our understanding of scientific processes counts as evidence against God
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: or makes God unnecessary. Right, So this is like people
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: used to think that the gods cast lightning bolts and
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: through and caused rain. But now we know about clouds
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: and we know about precipitation and everything, right, and this
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: is just this is just an error, right. And in
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: a way I like to illustrate this is, you know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: we were our science can account for pretty much every
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: part of the process of an embryo becoming a newborn baby. Right,
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: Yet that does does that mean that we can't say
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: with Psalm one thirty nine, you formed my inward parts,
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: you knitted me together in my mother's.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Oh no not at all. Right, No, it doesn't.
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: Right, Like, just because we understand how something works, that
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: doesn't really count for or against God. I think it's
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: I think it was John Lennox who says, like you
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: could think about the Ford model T.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: And say what's the cause of this?
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: And you could talk about the manufacturing process, but then
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: you could also hear tell someone about Henry Ford. So
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: this is, you know, this kind of idea that's floating
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: out there that the only reason that we would need
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: to even posit God is to explain what science can't. Right,
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: as if the only questions we have are how does
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: this world work? There are many other questions even if
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: we don't need God to explain, say, you know, combustion
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: or something, there are many other questions that are that
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: we need to answer as human beings in our life.
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: So this is kind of like a conflation of a
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: natural explanation with naturalism. Okay, so naturalism is the idea
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: that everything arises from natural properties and causes. Supernatural or
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: spiritual explanations are just excluded right now. Just because I
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: have a natural explanation for something does not mean that
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: naturalism is true.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: The other kind of like science.
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: Versus God objection is that is thinking that science can
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: prove or disprove God. Sometimes people just truck that out there.
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: Science has disproven God. Now, God is a metaphysical being, right,
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: He exists beyond.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: The material physical world.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: He is apart from it. He created it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: Science, on the other hand, operates by methodological naturalism by
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: saying that you know, the only things that we're going
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: to describe are things that can be accounted for in
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: the natural order. Well, if the being you're talking about
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: is outside that is metaphysical, then you're using the rule
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: wrong tool. You know, you're you're using i don't know,
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: like a screwdriver to try to hammer a nail or something. So,
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: by definition, kind of science cannot prove God's non existence.
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: It's important to note that scientific evidence is not the
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: only kind of evidence that there is. There's all kinds
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: of evidence. There's everyday observation experience, there's historical evidence, logical evidence,
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: mathematical evidence, testimonial evidence. But that's different than saying that
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: science disproves God.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: Now the second family is misunderstanding the burden of proof. Okay,
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: And you hear this kind of thing a lot. So
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: the burden of proof means that, like, it's whose obligation
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: is that in this disagreement to prove their point and
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: the other one presumably can just sit back with their
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: arms folded. So if I ask an atheist, what evidence
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: is there that God does not exist, which is a
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: perfectly reasonable question, this would be the response, Well, you
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: can't prove a negative, right, which is ridiculous. So this
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: is a really bad version of misunderstanding the burden of proof.
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: You hear that often I'm saying God does not exist,
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: you're saying he does. Therefore no, that is uh. There
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: are plenty of negatives of statements of non existence that
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: do require proof.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: If I were to say John F.
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: Kennedy never existed, right, that's a statement of non existence,
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: but clearly the burden of proof lies on me. So
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: that's just a kind of like a false thing to say. Now,
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: not a not as bad version of this, but still
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: pretty bad. Is saying that the burden of proof lies
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: with the person making the claim. Okay, and this one
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: I think is is very helpful to understand. So so
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: consider considerable thing that we said earlier this week. The
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: universe's fine tuning is best explained by the existence of God.
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: That's that's what I would claim. Okay, I'm making a
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: claim there. I should give some evidence for that. But
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: atheism doesn't get a free lunch just because they say
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: it's not because what's implied in as theism, Well, the
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: opposite that the universe is fine tuning is best explained
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: by non theistic explanations, So the idea that you're saying
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: God does not exist. The problem with this is that
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: it implies a lot of other things that are not obvious.
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: I think you can think the same thing about the
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: moral argument. Right if if an atheist is simply saying
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: more objective moral facts and duties are best explained by
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: non theistic explanations, right like, that's what their atheism implies,
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: and they have to show that. So it's not clear
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: that the burden of proof lies with someone just because
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: they believe in God. Both positions are claiming that something
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: is true and That's true, by the way, even for
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: the agnostic who's asserting that the evidence is not strong
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: enough to make it reasonable to believe in God, and
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: so I guess we're our land is kind of where
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: that naturally leads us to, I think, and that is
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: the false assumption that atheism or should should be the
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: should be the default position if we lack evidence, right
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: that that if even even if you know, no one
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: knows of anything we've been talking about this week, Kevin
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: right that, well, if you don't know any of that,
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: you should be an atheist, that you're that you're no
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: that that's far from clear. Atheism does not get a
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: free lunch, because atheism is is claiming implicitly a lot
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: of things about the world that are not.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Obvious that that do require evidence.
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: You know, there's a lot more that that we could
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: we could we could talk about. We could talk about,
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: you know, claiming that God is that religion is all
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: fairy tales, you know, claiming that people believe in God
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: just because they're brainwashed and doctrinated as children.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Right, I don't think we would.
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think we would say the same thing about, like,
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: you know, American children being raised to think that freedom
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: is good or democracy is good. Right, It's just because
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: you could say where a belief came from does not
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: mean that it's wrong. Yeah, but yeah, so you just
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: got to use your thing.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: This week has been phenomenal, Doug, and thank you for
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: bringing a miniature version. Now you're going to teach this

  Speaker 2: or not. And by the way, Hello Peoria, w P
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: e O, A M and F M. You're our station
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: of the week. I'm gonna be shouting you out every
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: day this week. Last week was AM five ninety K
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: T I E in southern California. But w P EO
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: you just added us to your drive time there. We
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: get to be with you on your drive home from work,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: and we want to we want to be with you
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: every day. We want we want to go with you.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: We want to build up your mind. We want to
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: expand your understanding of the world around you from the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: standpoint of Judeo Christian belief and basic truth and what
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: is right and what is wrong. That's all part of
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: what we're doing there. But very very honored to be
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: in the Peoria, Illinois and surrounding region really all through
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: central and southern Illinois. Thank you so much for making
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: us part of your line up there, particularly in such
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: this esteemed spot. I know that Charlie Kirk used to
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: visit these this very time slot and so I'm very
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: very honored to be taking his place. Thank you, thank you,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: thank you. All Right, you may have noticed, you may
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: not have noticed, but you may have noticed that since November,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: since we've come to the network, there is something that
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I do every month, and that is I recruit you
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: to help me and us collectively change the world together.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: So in the month of December, we liberated slaves that
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: would never have been able to be liberated had you
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: and I not gotten involved. And I want to say
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: because of you, there were there were quite a few
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: that were that were able to be released, and we're
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: so so grateful. In the month of January, we helped
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: provide ultrasounds to young women who would have their mind
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: changed by those ultrasounds and not choose to abort their child,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: but to instead have their child. And very touched by
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: the hundreds of you that got involved in that campaign
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: as well. Now, in the month of February and March
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: and April, we're gonna do something that I really love.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: And part of why I really love it is because
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I've been to the place where a group called Food
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: for the Poor operate. I have seen with mine own
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: eyes how they conduct themselves. I have held the children
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: in my arms that we will be helping and it's
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: so cost effective. But let me just tell you that
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: there are places in Central America, South America, the Caribbean
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: where there are no luxurious roos resorts, there are no
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: grocery stores, there are no things that you would think
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: would be part of modern life. And they are for
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: us here in America, but not so in places where
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: food for the pores at work, places like Guatemala, Haiti,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: El Salvador, some of the Honduras, some of these places
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: where poverty is so deadly. And let me just give
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: you an example. Did you know that, on average, the
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: amount of time that an orphan in these regions or
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: a parentless child in these regions goes without eating in
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: some of these places up to seventy two hours in
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: between meals that resemble actual food. I'm not talking about
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: stories where you hear of somebody boiling some leaves or
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: some tree bark or something and trying to make that
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: into a meal. No, I'm talking about actual food. There
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: are literally tens of thousands of these children through out
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: these regions, and food for the poor who's been around
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: for forty five years is in eighteen of these countries
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: and working hard to try to reach every one of
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: these kids. And this year they have provided us with
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: a list of seven hundred and twenty children's names that
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: we can very simply remove off of a list that
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: would make them food secure for the next year. And
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: here's what they would get every single day. Two meals
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: a day of some carbohydrates like rice, some proteins like beans,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: some vitamin component supplements that are added to that recipe,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: and a little chicken broth and a little I don't know,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: care and love that make this a beautiful meal. And
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: to be able to receive it twice a day for
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: the next year, think about that. Think about friends. You
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: take your child out to eat, and I take my
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: family to brunch on Sundays after church. It's kind of
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: a special time. Mom doesn't have to cook. We sit
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: and have a meal together and we talk about what
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: God has done for us and we give thanks and
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: it's just really really beautiful. But think about if you
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: were to take your children to eat twice a day,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: how much would you spend. I'm going to guess that
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: it would be tens of hundreds of times a multiplied
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: amount of seventy five dollars. And yet for seventy five dollars.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: You can feed a child and give them purified drinking water,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: clean drinking water, drinking water that's good for them, not
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: the kind that is filled with parasites and so forth.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Good drinking water for them. You can give them these
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: two things for the next year for seventy five dollars
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: per child. Friends, I want to ask you, would you
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: help us by saying I'll take care of two children
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: right now? One hundred and fifty dollars gift would care
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: for two child for the entire next year, all of
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the food they need, all of the clean drinking water
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: that they need. For two children. Now, before you answer
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: real quickly, just scot word. If you call today, someone
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: will match every gift we get in this hour. Someone
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: will match everything that we do. If you call right now,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: here's the phone number eight five five nine zero seven
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: four six seven three eighty five five nine zero seven
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: four six seven three. So if you do one hundred
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: and fifty dollars gift right now, it's not two kids,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: it's four kids that will eat and get clean drinking water.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: But would you would you join us? We have seven
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty children that need to be cared for.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Would you take four of them with a gift of
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty one hundred fifty dollars right now
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: eight fivey five nine zero seven four six seven three
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: eighty five five nine zero seven four six seven three
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: please go and call.
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: Right now.
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: Here.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: He is from New York. That Kevin McCalla. Glad you're
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: with us. It's that Kevin Show always on Friday. Happy
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: to welcome back. Christine Nicholas, who is I got my
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: favorite PR person on the planet. She does it in
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: the classiest way possible. And Christine, that is so hard
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: in your line of work because PR professionals get paid
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: for getting people press and so they tend to be
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: very aggressive and they and they send me billions and
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: millions of things all year, every year. And you and
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: your team at Nicholas and Lentz. I got to say,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: there's a reason why you're one of the best in
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the country, I think one of the best on the
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: globe at what you do. And it's always done with
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: dignity and respect and so so polished. It's just thank you.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: And one on top of that, you get to do
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: some radio with me every week on Friday nights. Here
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: in New York on AM nine seventy The Answer people
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: can listen online at A nine seventy aanswer dot com.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: But on Fridays we like to have a little bit
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: of fun and we've got something special coming up tonight.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: What is it we do?
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: In fact, when you say Broadway Royalty, you know, you
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: think a few people, but one of them at the
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: top of the list has to be Betty Buckley. Betty
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: Buckley was the original in Cats, the Glamour Cat. You
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: hear the song memory right now, it's going to be
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: in your ear for the rest of the time tonight. Yeah, Yeah,
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: it's just and she just she put it on the map,
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: which is really terrific. So we're going to be having
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: Betty on And she's not just a stage actress. She's also,
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: as you know from television, Eight is Enough, which was
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: a great show as we were growing up. Yep, and
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: she so current now she's in Pretty Little Liars, you know,
• 30:04
  Speaker 10: she's been in a number of films Carrie, both on
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: Broadway and on in the film Carrie. So she's got
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: such a deep breath of work and we're really pleased
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: that she's joining us. And the reason being is that
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: she's going to be doing a residency at Joe's Pub,
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: the famous Joe's Pub down on Lafayette in the village
• 30:24
  Speaker 10: here in Manhattan, and she'll be doing six shows next weekend.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: And she has not the spring chicken she used to be.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: But to do six.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Shows, come on, yeah, that's to a night.
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: And yeah, but she's still so very active, which which
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: I absolutely love. I think it must be something in
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: those Texas jeans, Kevin.
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: I think that.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:45
  Speaker 10: I mean there's a thing about Broadway if you don't
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: know it because they don't talk about it, but there
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: is a whole bunch of Texans.
• 30:51
  Speaker 12: That are running Broadway.
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: Uh you know Lauren Reed for one, Charlotte Saint Martin,
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: you know, lots of Broadway producers.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: At the first time, you introduced me to Charlotte Saint
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Martin and she came up, and the way she said
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: hello to me sounded exactly like one of my aunts
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: back home. Well how are you, Kevin, And I'm like,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I just swim home for a second.
• 31:15
  Speaker 12: They tend to pronounce every syllable, so it's.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: We like to draw raw vowels out. But yeah, so
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: she actually and not just Texas.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: She was from my hometown of Fort Worth, and I'm curious, like,
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: you know, does she ever get back.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe we'll ask her about that.
• 31:35
  Speaker 12: But how big of a town is that Kevin?
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Fort Worth went well? When I was growing up, it
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: was the third largest city in the state, behind Houston
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: and Dallas. I think that people generally think of the
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Dallas Fort Worth area as kind of one metro area,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: so it's kind of like what we say, like the
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: tri state, and I think comes all the suburbs and
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: stuff around. That's kind of how they think of it
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: now as kind of one city, even though there's two
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: cities there. But it's when it's combined, it's like the
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: fourth or fifth largest media market. Houston used to be
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: above it, but they've kind of swapped places. But it's
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Texas is a place where a lot of businesses have
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: relocated in recent years because tax policies and some of
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: the Blue states have been so punitive. They've just picked
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: up and gone down there because there's no corporate taxes
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: down there, wow, and there's no there's no state taxes
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: on income from around people. So it's like when you
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: figure those two things, if you're a business owner, all
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, you're saving millions a year in taxes paid.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: And that's and that's a good thing.
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: No, it's it's a great thing.
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: And as a small business owner Nicholas and Lenz Communications,
• 32:39
  Speaker 10: you know, we have twelve employees and sometimes you know,
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: the taxman cometh and it's just unbelievable these new taxes
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: that just out of the blue. It's like, oh, you
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: need to pay a tax on the rent and the utilities,
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: and the New York City just comes up with these
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: very creative taxing policies that I think I paid more
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: taxes this year than we've ever paid before. And by
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: the way, it wasn't our greatest year, so you know,
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: so the incentive is there to start looking. I mean,
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: but look, we are such a New York firm. We
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: don't have to nudge that hard for reporters to cover
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: our clients because our clients are amazing.
• 33:20
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 33:21
  Speaker 10: We have Times Square, we have the famous Ellen Stardust Diner,
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: we have Lincoln Center, Lincoln Square. You know, we just
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: have these amazing clients that in a sense, they need
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: no introduction, so you can get your foot in the door,
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: but then you need to introduce the reporters to exactly
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: what they're doing, and they're doing so many different things.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: One of the things I'm hoping to do with the
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: reach of this show that's on four hundred and nineteen
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: different cities Monday through Sunday, is to tell people more
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: about Times Square and Lincoln Center, the things that people
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: do when they come here, because I still think New
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: York is the number one destination for people across the
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: country in terms of places they want to visit. To
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: be fair, though, and just to push back a little
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: bit for my fellow Red Staters that are out there,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: I think part of the fear isn't just that they
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: disagree with the politics. It's do those politicians with those
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: politics make the city less safe than it used to be?
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: And one of the things that we keep getting reports
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: on from Tom Harris over and over again is that
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: even though we've had not the best mayors in the
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: last go a couple of go rounds, the NYPD is
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: still doing a tremendous job. I think it's the best
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: trained law enforcement organization on the planet, and every day,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: day in and day out, their presence is felt and known.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: And I would say that right now the police commissioner
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: is doing a better job. She's a great city straight Yeah.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: Her name's Jessica Tish.
• 34:47
  Speaker 10: She is sort of like a career technocrat that came
• 34:51
  Speaker 10: up through the NYPD and luckily our new mayor kept her.
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: And by the way, folks, if you want the folks
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: in Texas outside of New York, you're gonna love this.
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: Just google this arrest that was made yesterday by a
• 35:04
  Speaker 10: patrol officer with his partner, Kelly.
• 35:08
  Speaker 12: Kelly happens to be a horse.
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: So this is just why New York City remains safe
• 35:14
  Speaker 10: because if you saw a cop, you.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Know there's you know, there's just nobody like DNPD.
• 35:20
  Speaker 12: Yeah, they take action.
• 35:21
  Speaker 10: So so come to New York you're safe. And when
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: you see Kelly, just you know, bring some carrots. I
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: understand she likes carrots.
• 35:29

  Speaker 2: you on Fridays. Thank you for being here.
• 35:45
  Speaker 12: Thank you.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Kevin McCulloch coming right back. It's that Kevin Show.
• 35:51
  Speaker 11: Stick around for more that Kevin next, serving it up
• 36:06
  Speaker 11: with a no drink minimum.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: It's that cabin show.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: All right, Kevin mcfell a final few minutes of the
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: first hour on today's show, and grateful to have you
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: with us. We've got a big second hour coming your way,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: and I hope that you'll stick around for that. It is.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: It is an important time that we have reached in
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: our campaign with Food for the Poor, and I just
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: want to say thank you again to those of you
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: that have already helped us. As of today, we are
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: pacing well ahead of where we thought we would be,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: but that doesn't mean that we have taken care of
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: all of the kids. And I want to make sure that,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: with no daylight to spare, we that we do just that. Friends.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Part of the reason I'm so passionate about this is
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: I have been to different parts of the work that
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Food for the Poor is done in Jamaica and in Haiti.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: In particular, in Jamaica, I toured an area where my
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: listeners had built homes for families that did not have them.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: They were sturdy, little concrete structures that would protect them
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: from the hurricanes. They weren't living in corrugated tin rotting shelters.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Now that they would have these, and the immense pride
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: that the family would have when they were given the
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: key and able to open the door to their home
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: for the first time, it was just an incredible thing.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Much more familiar. I have been to several of their
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: feeding situations where they have brought in food or clean
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: drinking water to a community, and sometimes in different ways
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: than others, but the important point being that you're providing
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: the most essential survival mechanism aid that they need, and
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: it's really really vital, and so what we're doing here
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: is not insignificant. It is very very important. Eight five
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: five nine zero seven four six seven three eight five
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: five nine zero seven four six seven three. And I
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: just want to say, because of your continued graciousness, we
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: have broken the one hundred child barrier. Yesterday, a day before,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: we were at one hundred and five to go. Yesterday,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: were right at one hundred to go. Today we're at
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: ninety one children left out of seven hundred and twenty.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: And friends, this is where I start getting really nervous, like,
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: are we going to make it? Are we not going
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: to leave any of these people behind? I don't want
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: to leave a single one of these children off the list.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: So there are there are ninety one that are in
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: need of your help right now. Eight five, five, nine zero,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: seven four six seven three. The water they have to
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: drink is not good for them. In fact, it will
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: probably help them die if they have to drink contaminated water.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: It dehydrates them, It puts things in their bodies that
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: their bodies are not equipped off from an immune system standpoint.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: So clean drinking water and all that they can handle
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: for the coming year is really really important. It may
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: be more important than the two meals a day, but
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: that's what your gift also provides. For a one time
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: gift of seventy five dollars, listen to this. Seventy five
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: dollars gets you seven hundred and thirty meals for the
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: child and enough clean drinking water for them to use
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: for the entire foreseeable future of their life. Practically clean
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: drinking water for life. But the combination of the two
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: gifts for a one time gift of seventy five dollars
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: is insane. Think about that two dollars and twenty nine
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: cents that you're spending for that bottle of water in
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: the plastic that you get at the store. The eight ounces.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Now multiply that times however many ounces you're supposed to
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: have a day. Let's say you need four of those
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: a day just to survive. That's only thirty two ounces
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: of water. That's not enough. But you're talking about ten
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: bucks of water a day times three hundred and sixty five.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: That's three thousand something dollars worth of water that you're
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: providing for one time gift of seventy five dollars. And
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: the most important part of it is it's really good
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: for them and it's going to keep them healthy. Ninety
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: one kids to go, friends, Let's not delay. Let's get
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: all ninety one of these taken care of. Here's the

  Speaker 4: way grateful that is not who he used to be.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Here, all right, welcome back.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: It's our two, That Kevin Show, that Kevinshow, dot com.
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: We've got a lot of interesting stuff yet to come
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: in this hour and breaking at this time. A conservative
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: legal group is calling on the administration to investigate an
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: Alaskan school over a policy that withholds gender identity from
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: from parents. And I don't know how you're able to
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: do that, because there's there's not only you know, the
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: rights of parents that are God given, they're not They're
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: not given by the school district, for sure, But then
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: there's also the federal legislations and executive orders that have
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: ordered schools not to deceive parents when it comes to
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: gender identity for their kids. And I've reported on the
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: fact that you have several of these kinds of schools
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: still trying to operate in the shadows. America.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: First Legal asked the Education and Justice departments to open
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: inquiries into the school district. It's the latest to come
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: under scrutiny for transgender policies in the wake of a
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: major Supreme Court I forgot about Supreme Court ruling that
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: also last month that sided with religious parents on this matter.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: The High Court's decision applied to California, but has continued
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: to affect school districts across the country. And America's America
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: first legal complaint center on a policy in Honah Hoonah
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: City School District, a small K through twelve district in Alaska,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: that instructs the policy instructs the administrators to use a
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: student's legal name and pronouns when communicating with parents, even
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: if the student is going by a different name in
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: pronouns at school, arguing that in practice, the policy requires
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: school staff to present one identity to parents while facilitating
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: another at the school, effectively directing them to deceive parents
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: about their own children. Hunah City School District's nonsensical gender
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: identity policy strip parents of their rights, applaued deception, and
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: brazenly violate federal law, said AFL Senior council Ian Pryor
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: in a statement. The DOJ Civil Rights Division has already
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: signaled it is opening to investigating such policies after recently
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: opening a similar probe into the La Unified School District,
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: the nation's second larges school district comprising more than half
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: a million students, and the courts shut them down. AFL's
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: complaint mirrors the legal threat the conservative Thomas Moore Society
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: made last month against the Westwood Regional school district also
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey. The legal group which helped bring the
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: California Supreme Court case said it would initiate litigation if
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: the school district did not rescind a policy that led
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: schools withhold students gender identity information from parents. The complaints
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: and investigations come after the Supreme Court blocked California from
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: enforcing a policy that prevents school staff from notifying parents
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: if their child expresses a desire to engage in gender
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: transitioning unless the child consents to the parents finding out.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: The case, Mirabelli versus Bonta, was brought by parents who
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: argued the policy encroached on their religious freedom and their
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: parental rights. The California policy also required school staff to
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: use students preferred names and pronouns, regardless of the parents wishes. Friends,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: this is insane. This is insane education policy, and that's
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: why the Supreme Court shot it down in California. That's
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: why New Jersey. Wake up. You're going to get your
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: shot down too. You're not that Blue and Alaska. I
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: don't know what's going on there, but this is crazy stuff.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: You are the teacher of the students while they're at
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: school for the time that they're in your class. You
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: have no other right to any aspect of their life,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: not their personal identity, not their names, not what they're called. Nothing.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: None of it is based on your decisions. Parents, and
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: parents alone get to decide what their child uses as names,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: what they use in public. If the child goes by
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: something else is a nickname with their kids just amongst them,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: there's nothing they can do about that. But it is
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: the height of hypocrisy and illegality for school teachers to say,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: we're going to work against parents to allow this perverse
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: agenda of false identity and lies about who they are,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: and lies about their sex and lies about their anatomy
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: to be perpetrated as a fraud officially by the state
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: via the school district. That is just straight up wrong.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: And you're about to find out Westwood Village, you're about
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: to find out whounah La unified. You've already found out.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: But this is the kind of stuff that parents definitively
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: took a vote against in the presidential race this last year.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: They purposefully said we're not putting up with this anymore.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: And between the executive orders that have been passed and
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: now the Supreme court precedent that has been adjudicated. States
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: do not have the right to do this, and we
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: can hold them, We can hold them accountable, we can
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: put them back on their heels. We can say when
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: you're done because you could not, you could not keep
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: your policies in line with what federal laws were. We
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: can fire people, we can take funding away. There's all
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: kinds of things we can do. So just a word
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: of warning. But it seems astounding to me that you
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: would have little little districts in places like Alaska trying
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: to trying to upstage this may. Maybe they just take may.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe they just take a bet that they're too insignificant
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: and parents aren't going to care enough. What they're going
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: to find out is that even in these blue states
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: like Los Angeles, California, New Jersey, you're gonna have parents
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: to go No, we are not okay with this. This
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: is not okay. We are not okay, and this is
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: not going to happen. And right now, the President, the administration,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: law enforcement, the judiciary, and the Supreme Court are all
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: on the same side. They're opposing the wackadoodle jobs that
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: are out there trying to change your kid's names and pronouns.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: It's such an offense to parents, it's so offensive to
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: the nuclear family, it's so offensive to God's intention and
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: design for human beings. We this is this is why, friends,
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: if you're believer, you have to be in the marketplace.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: You have to stand up, you have to say and
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: do so winsomely, but you have to say no. There
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: is a difference here. Truth needs to count for something
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: in this matter. And it seems like, at least in
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: some of these instances, some people are all right, Kevin McCalla,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: very glad to have you with us. We've got a
• 49:20

  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back. It's that Kevin Show, that kevinshow

  Speaker 2: we never put it behind a paywall. Always wants you
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: to have access to it. Bethany Mandel joins me on
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: Fridays a lot of times to talk about what's going
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: on in the Middle East, sometimes not. Bethany, I always
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: appreciate your insights, and we have an interesting weekend. I
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: was comparing in my monologue earlier today on the show
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: the difference between one week ago and today, because there's
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: supposedly maybe some peace talks going to happen this weekend,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: but all the players that are involved in all the
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: different aspects of what they would be discussing have definitively
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: changed their positions. Iran has their moneys being rated in
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: their neighboring states. They have a blockade in effect that
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: they can't anything through, and they've been already they've already
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: conceded that they will open the Straight of hor moves
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: and the President saying it is open now. They they
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: walk back into Islamabad with a definitively worse hand than
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: they had seven days ago.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: It turns out an unwise decision to try to play
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: chicken with the Trump administration. Apparently they have been paying
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: attention for the last ten years or so. But I'm
• 52:30
  Speaker 9: glad that the that Dvance and Company walked away from
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: Islamabad and just sort of threw their hands up and
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: said absolutely not, We're not playing ball here. Yeah, because
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: you know, now, I think Aroan is realizing, oh hmm,
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: everything that they've always done to uh, to everyone else,
• 52:48
  Speaker 9: they're doing to us right now. So I put it
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: put America definitely had a stronger negotiation position well.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: And I think that what I love about the Trump approach,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: and I was thinking about this yesterday, is in past
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: administrations Obama, Bush, whoever, like, just take your pick, it's
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: always like one chess move and then the other people move,
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: and then one more move and then they move. And
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Trump has been like layer upon layer upon layer of
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: pressure in all different ways that he can hit them.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: And so when Bessant walks into the to the West
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Wing or the press room on what was it Thursday
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: or Wednesday and says, hey, we just got all their
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: vaults opened and all their neighboring states banks. Okay, now
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: they're out of money and they can't ship anything. And
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: they already had problems with the people that are in
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Iran because they killed forty five thousand of them earlier.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: This spring. The people aren't too kind to that, so
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: they really dug not maybe so symbolically their own graves here.
• 53:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was really fascinating to watch
• 53:56
  Speaker 9: this in real time, and it was good that, you know,
• 53:59
  Speaker 9: everyone in the administration was really a lockstep, you know,
• 54:03
  Speaker 9: from Vance to Whitkoff to Beth and they all sort
• 54:06
  Speaker 9: of worked together. And I think, you know, in prior administrations,
• 54:12
  Speaker 9: under prior presidents, we would have seen lots of leaks
• 54:15
  Speaker 9: and like, yeah, you know, this person is angry.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: And oh and the Trump Girst administration you've seen leaks,
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: but that was because they were just disloyal.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: People there, right right. We saw far less of that
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: this time.
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: So I think I think it's it's it's been really
• 54:29
  Speaker 9: well handled across the board.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be something that the newspapers and
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: the press are going to give them credit for, but
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: the efficiency with which they're even handling things like the
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: blockade and the bank account raids and everything else just
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: kind of as efficient as the military operation has been
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: in terms of surgical precise exactly what needs to be
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: done and adding layer upon layer of that pressure. I
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: want to move to the Israeli part of this, because
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: I think that this was also part of at least
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: what Trump was thinking would bring the Iran's, the Iranians
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: back to the table. And he had evidently a good
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: conversation with the President of Lebanon and BB yesterday and
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: he wants to bring him to the White House. But
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: it's not lot. Lebanon's not really the problem. It's hes Belah,
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: which is really Iran in Lebanon that's causing the problem.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely right.
• 55:20
  Speaker 9: And you know, there's been lots of press coverage of
• 55:24
  Speaker 9: you know, it's it's so hard and Lebanon right now,
• 55:27
  Speaker 9: and they're sort of they're waxing, very poetic about the
• 55:30
  Speaker 9: difficulty of living with Israeli missile attacks and you know,
• 55:35
  Speaker 9: the incursions that are happening within Lebanon proper. We've seen
• 55:38
  Speaker 9: very little of that kind of coverage about, you know,
• 55:40
  Speaker 9: what it's been like for Israelis to live under fire
• 55:44
  Speaker 9: for the last two and a half years. The upper
• 55:46
  Speaker 9: part of Israel has been basically uninhabited and uninhabitable because
• 55:51
  Speaker 9: of Hesbela missiles and rockets, and that's why Israelis are there.
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: And we're seeing the press selectively.
• 55:58
  Speaker 9: Cover you know what it's like to be in Lebanon
• 56:00
  Speaker 9: right now, after having ignored what it has been like
• 56:03
  Speaker 9: to live in northern Israel for the last two and
• 56:05
  Speaker 9: a half years.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the especially on the west bank side of of
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: the northern portion there. You know when when I when
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: I was there, and this was year a few years ago,
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: it was really really dangerous and it's it's not gotten
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: any better since then. Talk to me a little bit
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: about what Israel does after Iran has been handled? What
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: do you what is what is your thinking or guests
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: about what the tension of the nation reverts to? Do
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: they do they finally like exhale or is there is
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: there still? Is there still going to be? Like I
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: don't know. We got to hold our breath every night
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: as we as we head home, Like what what do
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: you think?
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Israelis would like to have the war end.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: You know, the the army and the.
• 56:56
  Speaker 9: Military in general are all mostly reserves. I think it's
• 57:00
  Speaker 9: like seventy to eighty percent reserves. And so all of
• 57:02
  Speaker 9: the people who have been in Lebanon and fighting Aroan
• 57:05
  Speaker 9: and in Gaza for the last two and a half years,
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: are you know, dads of four kids who run in
• 57:11
  Speaker 9: office and so and also in the West Bank as well.
• 57:15
  Speaker 9: And so Israelis would like nothing more than a return
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: to normalcy because this has been so incredibly.
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: Disruptive and damaging to the entirety of Israeli society.
• 57:26
  Speaker 9: And so it's frustrating when I hear people say, you know, oh,
• 57:30
  Speaker 9: the Israelis there warmongers. It's very very much the opposite.
• 57:34
  Speaker 9: My Israeli friends are desperate to get back to a
• 57:37
  Speaker 9: sense of normalcy.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and you know, just a day or two
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: without having to run to the shelters would be incredible.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: Let me let me shift gears for you. You're not
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: only my one of my key Israel commentators, but you've
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: also got your eye on most everything politically that's going
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: on here. We pass tax Day this week, and there
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: seem to be some really good news for particularly moms
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: and families and people trying to get ahead, about twenty
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: million more in income tax rebates going back to people
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: out of this year's big beautiful bill application to the taxes.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious, what is your sense of where our
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: electorate is starting to turn its head to with November
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: kind of looming in front of us.
• 58:24
  Speaker 9: I mean, I wish that we had been beneficiaries of
• 58:28
  Speaker 9: that windfall. We gave the irs many money, But I
• 58:36
  Speaker 9: mean it's frustrating to me as someone who pays quarterly taxes.
• 58:41
  Speaker 9: I think I think it would be good for our society.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: And you guys do that because you operate as a
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: family company.
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: So I work on ten ninety nine, so I'm a contractor, and.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: So the gigs, the gigs are all important to you,
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: and not not axing gigs, especially more punitively, is very
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: important to you.
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: Yes, yes, though I don't the gentleness that other people
• 59:10
  Speaker 9: experienced was because of tips and things like that. I
• 59:13
  Speaker 9: don't work on tips. Unfortunately, Maybe I should ask, well.
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: They're not, well, I'm about to tell you, uh, tell
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: tell people what you've earned and saying if you would
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: like to forego that and just tip me, there you go,
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: there you go.
• 59:30
  Speaker 9: So I think it would be better for I mean,
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: I think we would have like instant one Republicans if
• 59:37
  Speaker 9: people started having to write a check instead of having
• 59:40
  Speaker 9: withholding because sort of out of sight, out of mind.
• 59:43
  Speaker 9: And but I think I think it's a net benefit
• 59:46
  Speaker 9: that you know, child, that tax credit was a little
• 59:49
  Speaker 9: bit higher and all of those things.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: But well, it's not going to now they're not going
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: to force gig workers to unionize, which is one of
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: the things that Biden was trying to do right, right,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: so there's some benefit there. Let me ask you about
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: these four governors Pritzker, Newsome, Hocel and I forget the
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: other one oh Colorado that are trying to tax their
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: people that get tips and work over time in place
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: of the federal monies, which was not money that they
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: were going to get to begin with.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 9: That that is absolutely wild to me, and it is balks, yeah,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 9: and it's it's the same sort of wild that I
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 9: see when states are trying to say no to the
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 9: education benefits that are in the Big Beautiful Bill that
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 9: you know, people can see can can get money paid
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 9: into a special fund that then helps reimburse for costs
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: of homeschooling or private school. That was a great part
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: of the Big Beautiful Bill. And there are democratic governors
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 9: who are thinking about not opting into that and denying
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 9: their residents the opportunity. They really hate their voters, yes, yes,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 9: they I mean they hate Trump more than they love
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 9: their people their residence.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's very much the same thing.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 9: It's inexplicable to me, and it really shows how petty
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 9: they are at the expensive of families, American families who
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 9: are just trying to, you know, make ends meet.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: It's wild and not to make too light of an
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: issue of this, Bethany, but that pettiness that you just identified,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: that is demonstration alone as to why they're not mature
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: enough to lead a state. Like you can't be older
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: than a four year old to you know, be in
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: office and exercise good judgment. We can't trust you with
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: running an entire state. Yes, so anyway, all right, Bethany,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: always appreciate the check in. Thank you for being with us.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: Thanks Kevin, you got it.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Kevin mcculluch, coming right back. Don't go away, stick around
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: for more of that.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 6: Kevin.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 13: Next here he is from New York.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: That Kevin.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 5: Kevin McCulla, welcome back to Times Square. It's Kevin McCulla.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: That Kevin show.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: Always glad to have you with us and always eager
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: to make a difference by helping feed those who are
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: hungry and get clean drinking water to children who do
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: not have any.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 14: There are already local churches that are ready to respond
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 14: to the needs of fathers and daughters crying out for
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 14: desperate hunger. We just need your compassionate generosity to do this,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 14: to help provide life saving food and water, access to water, potable,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 14: safe drinking water for these children in these families. I'm
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 14: asking you to just consider that, Yes, your gift of
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 14: one hundred and fifty dollars tells two crying children that
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 14: they're going to eat and give them access to water.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 14: Your gift of any size is going to be matched
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 14: providing twice as many, twice as many children with food
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 14: and access to water. But I want you to consider
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 14: the intangible ingredients to what you your gift is providing.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 14: It is providing dignity for that parent, that father, that family.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 14: I remember myself what that face looks like because it
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 14: was in the face of my own father, a single
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 14: parent working two and three jobs, seven days a week,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 14: trying to keep food on the table. And you're also
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 14: helping keep these families together. You heard jose He shared
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 14: that oftentimes his wife and he have to travel very
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 14: hours to go find work because there's nothing there locally.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 14: Imagine keeping that family together, in addition to feeding those children,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 14: in addition to giving dignity back to those fathers friends.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: You can be the answer to that cry, the answer
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: to that prayer, the answer to that need of dignity,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: simply by giving really what amounts to a minimal gift.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: Seventy five dollars takes one child that is experiencing that
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: level of hunger and says, for the next year, you're
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: going to get two meals a day. Now, I want
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: you to just think about that. If you bought the
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: cheapest cheeseburger at McDonald's and tried to do that twice
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: a day to feed a child for the next year,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: you would spend a gosh darn lot more amount than
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: seventy five dollars. It would be expensive, and it would
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: be the cheapest thing on the menu. In this situation.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: For seventy five dollars, you can feed this child some
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: needed carbohydrates, some needed vegetables, some needed proteins, and what
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: they get out of that is a year's worth of
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: nutritional food that's going to help them to grow, it
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: will help them to heal. A lot of these kids
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: have been so hungry for such a long time that
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: their immune systems are all out of whack and their
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: bodies are not functioning properly, but getting them on a
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: steady diet of simple carbohydrates and simple proteins for the
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: next year, you're going to see them blossom. They're going
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: to flourish. It's everything that we love about springtime, the
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: dead coming back to life, and the color of life
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: coming out in full. That's what's going to happen in
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: the bodies of the children that we're going to bring
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: food to. They're literally going to go from nearly dying
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: to being alive and to being vibrant and to having
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: a life and having goals and hopes and you know,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: smiles on their face again. It's going to be an
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: amazing thing. And then that seventy five dollars also supplies water.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: Now that's important because if you don't have clean drinking water,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: you'll die a lot faster from problematic water than not
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: having food. And in the situations that where Food for
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: the Poor is serving children, the lack of clean drinking
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: water is a bigger problem than the lack of food.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: So we can bring in purification systems. Sometimes you know
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: portable kits that are smaller, but sometimes larger systems that
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: are enclosed in concrete structures that help protect them from
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: bad weather and so forth. But these can pump up
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: to ten thousand gallons of fresh, clean, pure drinking water
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: a day, and that gives the ability to those children
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: then to not get dehydrated, to not have intestinal problems,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: to not have other problems that they don't have medical
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: solutions for. You're solving such a big issue. And if
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: you give a gift of one point fifty that's going
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: to take care of two children for the next year.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: Do the math. That's seven hundred and thirty meals for
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: one So fourteen hundred and sixty meals for two kids
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: for the one time gift of one hundred and fifty dollars,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: plus the equivalent of tens of thousands of gallons of
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: drinking water that they're going to need for the next year.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: You're supplying that all for a one time gift of
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty dollars. That's incredible. I mean, Paul,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: I think about wanting to get a return on money
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: I spend on things. Every time I go through the
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: drive through on Chick fil A Saturday, because they're not
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: open on Sundays, it costs me, you know, anywhere from
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: forty eight to fifty six dollars just to get the
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: bare minimums for what I know my family likes. That's
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: nothing fancy. It's just chicken sandwiches and waf fries.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 14: It's basically this. Eleven cents a meal. Eleven cents a
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 14: meal you take you take dollar menu and insert fast
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 14: food establishment there. You're not getting anything for eleven cents.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 14: I'm old enough to remember when you used to get
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 14: something for fifty cents out of a mending machine that
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 14: no longer exists. Eleven cents a meal, and it's not
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 14: only a meal that's going to help sustain it's not
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 14: going to just fill a belly, but it's going to
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 14: sustain life.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: It's going to put life.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 14: Back on track for children and for families, and for
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 14: so many children whose life does necessary does not necessarily
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 14: mean that they're going to be alive tomorrow if you
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 14: don't act right now.
• 1:07:39

  Speaker 2: hundred meals? Come on, you do the rate of return
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: on that? There's no comparison eight five five nine zero
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: seven four six seven three or that Kevin show dot com.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. That Kevin McCullough.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: Kevin McCullough glad to be with you. I have an
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: adopted son from the country of at and I've been
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: there many times. Paul Jacob is back with us from
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: Food for the Poor and Paul, there's few places in
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: human existence that have been more worse offt than Haiti
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: on good years, and then when you have hurricanes and
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: other things that come through. When you have a measles epidemic,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: disease has supposedly been dormant and dead for a number
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: of years breakout. We have earthquakes that happen, and whatever
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: infrastructure is there just falls in on itself. And we're
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: not talking about fifty years ago. We're talking about in
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: the last ten years. All of this has happened to
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: the poorest country in our hemisphere and maybe one of
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: the top two poorest countries on the planet. This is
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: ground zero for where Food for the Poor is doing
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: some of its heaviest lifting in terms of helping people,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: and Chauvelin's story is kind of an example of that.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 14: We just finished serving and been completed serving forty years
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 14: in Haiti. We still are there, you know, and everything
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 14: that you just mentioned, the cholera, the earthquakes, the hurricanes,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 14: multiple hurricanes as early as last October with Hurricane Melissa
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 14: barreling through Jamaica but still making a significant impact on
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 14: Haiti as well, sybil, unrest, you name it. Something has
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 14: transpired in Haiti. And I was asked to the other
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 14: day by someone who's been, you know, long standing a
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 14: partner to Food for the Poor, but hadn't been in
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 14: contact and said, have we still do Are we still
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 14: doing anything in Haiti? And I said, like never before,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 14: the work still continues. Now, we've had to shift our
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 14: operational focus and we've had to shift how we do
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 14: things for the safety and protection of our partners and beneficiaries.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 14: But it is the work has never stopped. The staff
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 14: has never stopped. And so your gift right now, one
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 14: hundred and fifty dollars or three hundred dollars or maybe
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 14: a thousand dollars for twenty six children to have food,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 14: to have access to water, it's going to make it
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 14: to Haiti. It's going to make it to the countries
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 14: where Food for the Poor serves because these beneficiaries are
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 14: still praying and waiting in the midst of all of that.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 14: Our pastors are still on the ground, our teams are
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 14: still ready to deploy, all of this aid and help
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 14: to these families and places like Haiti is a testament.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 14: By the way, there are a majority of this staff
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 14: here at Food for the Poor and in the building
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 14: where we serve here that are they descend from Haiti,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 14: and so it is personal for them. It is personal
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 14: for all of us who have traveled to Haiti and
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 14: have personal friends and family there that we just cannot
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 14: we cannot look away. And that's why Food for the
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 14: Poor will be there another forty years in spite of
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 14: everything you may see on the news. So the bottom
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 14: line is this hunger is striking Haiti and many of
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 14: the countries are Food for the Poor serves. The lack
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 14: of lack of water, safe water, excuse me, has never
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 14: been more of an issue. We are still in need
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 14: of your help. There are children every single day getting
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 14: sick for nothing more than taking a sip of dangerous water.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 14: But you can change that with a generous gift right.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: Now, friends, It's true.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: I've seen it with my own eyes. Haiti is one
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: of the places I've traveled to with Food for the Poor,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: and there are a few scenes I've seen in my life,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: in real life with my own eyes that have been
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: more discouraging than some of the situations that we've happened upon.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: But I'll also tell you it's been one of those
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: destinations where I've also seen great good come about. And Paul,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: you were with me on one of these adventures because
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: one of the years that we were there, I remember
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: getting in a vehicle for the poor, brought us down
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: put us in had to be one of the nicest
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: hotels in the country. I mean, it was probably the
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: equivalent of like, you know, Super eight or Motel six
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: or something in the US, but by Haitians, it was.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: It was the it was the it was the palace.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 5: But we got in the van and we drove out
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 5: of I think it was Porta Prints and we drove
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 5: for quite a while.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: It was a couple of hours. We got to kind
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: of what I thought was the end of the earth.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: And when we got there, we're like, are we close?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: Like nope. So we got out and we walked for
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: another at least a couple of miles. And as we
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: were going back into this area where there had been
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: some sugarcane industry and some other things going on in
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: previous years because of the drought, because of the lack
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: of rain because of some of the cataclysmic weather things
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: that had gone on, it just had wiped out the
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: entire probability for that community to support itself in the
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: sugar cane industry anymore. And we go back and back
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: and back and back, and then out of the blue,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: kind of behind a couple of trees, back in the
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: back in the wherever, there was this little church. And
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: this looked like a little cinderblock structure, maybe six or
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: eight rows of little benches made out of pieces of
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: wood that trunks of trees or whatever that kids were
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: sitting on and they were trying to learn from a
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: teacher who was the local pastor, Pastor Joseph. And it
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: was one of those things where you just couldn't you
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: couldn't really grasp but what you were looking at, like
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: how bad the situation was. I mean, these kids probably
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: didn't have many changes of clothes other than what they
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: were wearing. They all smelled of, you know, all kinds
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: of things because they don't have clean water to bathe
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: in the only water supply that they had was this
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: little putrid pond out behind. And pond, I mean it
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: was like a mud puddle, but it was this gross
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: place where this dog was doing its business at one minute,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: and then a kid was coming over trying to get
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: a drink out of it at the other and I
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: just I got physically ill because of how bad the
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: situation was. And we listened to Pastor Joseph, and he
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: began crying because he had been praying that Food for
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: the Poor would come to his community for the longest
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: amount of time. And as he's relaying to us his
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: attempt to have this school. Now think about how just
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: depressing this whole situation is. And here's Pastor Joseph trying
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: to teach kids how to read and doing his best
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: at being able to do what he could do with
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: what he had.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 14: You know, you're getting a glimpse into how Food for
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 14: the Poor works because that community was hidden for thirty years.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 14: He talked about a few years that he had been
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 14: When we.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: Went back, there were roads. They actually had gotten a
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: road all the way into the town.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 14: At that point, the men got tools and built a
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 14: road for us to drive right to the front door
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 14: of that school. And so you get a picture and
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 14: a glimpse of how Food for the Poor works. Our
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 14: field officers are in the communities constantly. Our pastors are
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 14: coming to our offices telling us we have a community,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 14: we have a need. There are children, there are families,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 14: there are prayers asking for help. And it's those moments
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 14: when we go to Kadwa, those moments when we go
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 14: to Villanueva, which is in Honduras. And I'm reminded of
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 14: Galatians Chapter two, verse ten, when Paul the Apostle, at
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 14: the beginning of his ministry in Galicia, he said, all
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 14: they asked of me was that we remember the poor,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 14: the very thing I was eager to do all along.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 14: All we're asking you right now is to tangibly, compassionately
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 14: and immediately remember the poor by giving your best gift,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 14: because these families need you right now.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: Eight five five, nine oh seven four six seven three
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: or text on hunger to five to one, five five five,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: or go to that kevinshow dot com.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 11: Let's stick around for more of that Kevin next serving
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 11: it up with a no drink minimum. It's that Kendam show,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 11: all right.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: Kevin Fella, glad to have you with us. Welcome back.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: I forgot friends earlier in the hour when I was
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: telling you about food for the Poor. I forgot to
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: mention that you can click through on that kevinshow dot
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: com to the Food for the Poor banner, which should
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: be up. You can text the word hunger to five
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: to one five five five. You can also give that
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: way or you can call eight five five nine zero
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: seven four six seven three. And however you give your gift,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: if you give it this hour, it will be matched
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: child for child. So whatever you give, you give one
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars. Normally, that would take care of
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: two children for the entire next year, all the food
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: and all the water that they need for the entire
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: next year, two meals a day, all the drinking water
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: that they can have, and it's clean, it's purified, it's
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: good for them. It's not nasty. One hundred and fifty
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: dollars two kids for the entire year. But right now
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: someone will match that if you call, and that's going
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: to double the impact. You're going to reach four kids
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: instead of two eight five five nine zero seven four
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: six seven three eight five five nine zero seven four
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: six seven three. And I would love to just like
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: do so well at this friends with you. I would
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: love to make such a difference with you that we
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: just we blow away all our all of our fellow
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: talk show hosts at Salem Media. I know my buddy
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: Mike Callagher, he really gets excited about this campaign, and
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: you know, he's always like talking smack to you, Hewitt
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: and some of the others about how many, how many
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: kids he feeds and so forth. I'd love, I'd love
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: to show him that real Christians really do care about
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: the impact. And that's the beautiful thing about Food for
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: the Poor. It is a Christian ministry that has been
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: in place for forty five years in these eighteen countries,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: and you're gonna not only give food and clean drinking
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: water to that child, but that child will be introduced
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: to Jesus at the same time. So eight five, five,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: nine oh seven, four six seven three, and if you
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: call this hour, every gift we get will be matched unlimited.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: So doesn't matter how you give five thousand dollars you're
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: going to feed, however many kids that is you're gonna feed,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: You're going to double that in terms of the food
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: in the water that reaches and how many children are
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: benefited by that. Friends, it's just going to make such
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: a huge difference, so please don't put it off. We
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: we have until the end of April basically to accomplish
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: our goal. I'd love to hit our goal in the
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: next couple of weeks. Just have everybody say, Okay, let's go,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: let's do it. Eight five five nine zero seven, four
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: six seven three, eight five five nine zero seven four
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: six seven three. But seven hundred and twenty children are
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: going hungry today, and if we step up and make
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: that gift, then a name will come off that list
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: and that number will dwindle. And I want to get
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: that number down all the way to zero as fast
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: as we can. Eight five, five nine zero seven four
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: six seven three eight five five nine zero seven four
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: six seven three. The next couple of days, I'll have
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: some friends stop by. We'll talk about it a little bit.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: But this is a part of my show. We do
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: good all the time. We believe in doing good. We
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: believe one of the things I tell my kids when
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: I drop them off at school in the morning, the
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: last thing they hear from their dad besides I Love you,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: is be good and do good. And I believe that
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: as Christians, because the Holy Spirit lives within their heart,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: they have the ability to be their identity can be good,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: and out of that identity what they do with their
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: actions can then show that their actions are consistent with
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: their identity, that they will then do good. But you
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: can't do it backwards. You can't do good and then
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: become good. You got to be good and then out
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: of being good, you do good. And that's what I
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: drill into their head every single days. They're getting out
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: of the car.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 5: Okay, I love you, Your dad loves you. Now be
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 5: good and do good today. And they always say the
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 5: same thing back, Okay, dad, you be good and do good.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: Isn't that the best? Like I'm getting challenged by my
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: ten and thirteen year old to do the very thing
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: that I'm challenging them to do. I think that's the
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: way it's supposed to work, that we spur one another.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: What does the scripture say, spur one another on to
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: love and what good deeds. Let's do that together eight
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: five five, nine oh seven four six seven three. Feed
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: a couple of children for one hundred and fifty dollars
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: for the next year, and give them all the water
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: that they need. But right now, if you do it,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: that would be match dollar for dollar eight five, five,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: nine oh seven four six seven three, Or go do
