• 1:12
  Speaker 3: man who is not what he wants to be, that
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: is way grateful, that is not who he used to be.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Here, Hi, Kelvin mceller, Welcome to Holy Week. It will
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: be a week of broadcasts very different than anything else
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I do all year long. And as we get closer
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to this coming weekend, it's going to get even more intense.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And the reason why that's important is because that's what
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: happened to our savior. He comes riding in on Sunday
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to hale's and hosannas, and by the time the following
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Sunday comes, he has been put through an excruciating crucible
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in ways that some one of us can imagine. There
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: are moments that feel almost too poetic to be real,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and Palm Sunday is one of them. What we just
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: celebrated yesterday and many churches around the world, Jesus rides
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: into Jerusalem, not in secrecy, not under the cover of darkness,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: but in full view, big swelling, electric crowds. They line
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the streets, They wave palm branches, They throw their cloaks
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: on the ground. They shout Hosanna, blessed is he who
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: comes in the name of the Lord. They are celebrating
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: him like a king, and they're right to do so.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: This wasn't random, It wasn't accidental, This wasn't Jesus getting
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: swept up in a moment. This was deliberate, calculated, prophetic fulfillment.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Centuries earlier, the prophet Zachariah had written that Israel's king
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: would come riding on a donkey, gentle, humble, unmistakable, And
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: here he was doing exactly that, not on a war horse,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: not with an army, but on a borrowed donkey. Because
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: he wasn't coming to conquer Rome. He was coming to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: conquer something far more permanent. And just days before he
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: had actually stunned everybody by raising Lazarus from the dead.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: That alone would have made him the most talked about
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: figure in the region, and it did. People don't forget
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: funerals that turn into reunions. It's just something that they're
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: not accustomed to seeing. Words spread quickly, and by the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: time Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowd wasn't just curious. They
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: were expectant. Something was happening, something huge, something that felt
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: like the turning of an age, was about to take place.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And for a moment, just a moment, they got it right.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: They praised him, they welcomed him, they honored him. But
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: what they didn't understand, what they couldn't see yet, was
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that the very man they were celebrating was walking directly
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: into the greatest suffering any human will ever experience. And
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: he knew it. Every step of that. Donkey's slow procession
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: toward the city gates was a step toward betrayal. It
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: was a step toward being accused falsely. It was a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: step toward having a complete trial rigged against him, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: eventually it was a step toward what would be a brutal, humiliating, horrific,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: painful execution. He knew the cheers would fade, He knew
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the crowd would turn. He knew that many of the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: same voices shouting Hosanna would soon be screaming crucify him.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And still he went, Why Why walk into heartbreak on purpose?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Why endure injustice when you have the power to stop it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Why accept praise from people who will abandon you just
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: days later. That seems like madness, and in a way
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it is, But it is not the madness of chaos.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: It is the madness of love. Because what looks irrational
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to us is actually the most intentional act in human history.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus was not a victim of circumstances. He wasn't trapped
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: by events spiraling out of control. He was orchestrating the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: very path that would lead him to the cross. Let
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: me say that again. He was orchestrating it. He chose it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: He chose the betrayal, he chose the rejection, he chose
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the pain. He chose the cross not because he had to,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: but because we needed him to. And that's the part
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Palm Sunday forces us to confront. We love the parades,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: we love the celebration, We love the idea of a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: savior who is welcomed and adored and recognized, but we
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: tend to look away from what came next, the loneliness,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the injustice, the suffering, the separation. And yet without those things,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: there is no rescue. Without the cross, there is no forgiveness.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Without his suffering, there's no healing, and most importantly, without
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: his death, there is no life. The madness of Palm
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Sunday is that the king that is being celebrated by
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the people are being celebrated by people who don't understand
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the cost that he's about to pay for them. And friend,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: if we're honest, we're not different. We celebrate him when
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: it's convenient, We acknowledge him when it fits, We praise
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: him in moments, but ignore him and others. And still
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: he comes. Still, he chooses us. Still he walks straight
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: into the brokenness of our lives, knowing full well how
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: often we fall short. That's not normal, that's certainly not logical,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: it's not fair. It's what we call mercy, and it's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a mercy that didn't end in Jerusalem. It didn't end
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: at the cross, it didn't end at the tomb. It's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: a mercy that is still being offered right now to you.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: This week, I want to invite you to lean into
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that reality more deeply, maybe more deeply than ever before,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: because today we're going to start walking through the story
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of the Cross from a perspective that may surprise you,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the voice of a thief who hung next to him.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Because if you want to understand the gift that Jesus
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: was giving on that cross that day, there may be
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: no better vantage point than someone who received it in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: his final moments. But today, as we begin this journey,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: sit with that contrast. Sit with the cheers and then
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the silence, the welcome and then the rejection, the king,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and then the cross, because if you want to grasp
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the distance between how he was received and how he
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: was treated, you begin to understand the depth of what
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: he chose to do. It wasn't accidental, It wasn't inevitable,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: it was intentional. It was love. And if you want
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to reflect on that tension even more, We've got a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: little something for you. It's a musical journey through this
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: very collision of human brokenness and divine compassion. It's called
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: The Madness and Mercy. And if you email me that
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Kevin Show at gmail dot com, we'll send you a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: free copy of it. It's a two song ep from
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the t Collective. But just let it play, let it settle,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: because the same Jesus who rode into Jerusalem that day,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: knowing full well what was coming, he's still reaching for
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you today, and that, my friend, may be the greatest
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: madness of all. Kevin McCullough. We're going to get into
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: how do we live next and start that journey with
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the thief.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Stay with us here.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: He is from New York, that Kevin. Kevin McCulla.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Hi, Kevin McCullough, Welcome in. We have got a great
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: show and week planned for you as we are going
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to dig deep into what the significance of this week,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of the of the of the year means. Because friends,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know that there's anything more important. I'm devoting
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the space of my show, the space of my column,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: everything everywhere that I can be heard this week, this
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is what I'm talking about. And as we get to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: this portion of the show where every day we ask
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the big question, how how do we live? How do
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: we live in the midst of the entanglements of a
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: culture that hates us? How do we live in the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: midst of a culture that despises the Bible that we
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: read and really has no use for us as people?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I want us to consider strongly what the value of
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: taking this week to reflect, maybe to watch the film
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Heaven How I Got Here and share it with friends.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: You can get a free copy at that kevinshow dot
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: com backslash Heaven and if you don't see it on
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the page, go to the promotions tab and it's there
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: under the promotions tab. But I want to talk about
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the story of this week from a different perspective, because
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the first thing to die wasn't his body, It was
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: his illusion. He hung there with lungs burning and muscles failing.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Every breath he took was a fight that he was losing.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: The crowd didn't care, the soldiers didn't care. The sky
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: itself seemed to turn its back on the situation, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: for the first time in his life, he stopped lying
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to himself. We are punished justly, We are getting what
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: our deeds deserve, he said, No excuses, no softening, No,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: But you don't understand just truth, raw, unfiltered, final truth.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: And it's almost unbearable to hear because it's the one
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: sentence we spend our entire lives avoiding. We don't talk
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: like that. We explain ourselves, We justify, we compare. I'm
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: not perfect, but I'm not that bad. I've made mistakes,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: but I meant well. I've done wrong, but look at
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: everything I've done right. It's the way we are. We
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: build a case, we polish it, we present it to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: ourselves over and over again until we almost believe it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: But strip everything away, your reputation, your achievements, your distractions,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and what's left the thief found out because pain has
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a way of cutting through every layer that we hide behind.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: There's no pretending when you're dying. There's no audience to impress.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: There's certainly no future where you can fix it later.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: When you're dying, it's just you and the truth, and
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the truth was this. I deserve this, say that out loud,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: feel how violently your soul resists it, because everything in us,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: in our humanity, wants to push back against that. No,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not that bad. I've lived a decent life,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: but decent compared to what other broken people. That's the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: game we play, isn't it. We line ourselves up next
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to someone who's worse, and then we take a deep breath.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Oh as bad as him, but hanging on that cross,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: there was no one left to compare himself to. The
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Only one that remained was right next to him, beaten, bleeding,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: silent under accusation, And the thief saw something, something so clear,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: so undeniable, It broke through every lie he had ever
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: told himself. This man has done nothing wrong, nothing, no sin,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: no deceit, no hidden failures, nothing. Do you understand how
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: terrifying that realization is, Because in one glance, the thief
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: saw the full distance between himself and Jesus, not a gap,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: a chasm. I am guilty, he is not. And suddenly
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: every excuse died, every comparison fell apart, every defense collapsed
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: under the weight of reality. That's the moment that everything changes,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Not when you try harder, not when you clean yourself up,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: not when you promise to be better next time, but
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: when you finally, brutally, honestly admit I am not good.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And that's where this story becomes really personal. Because we
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: don't want this to be true about us. We'll read
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: this story and quietly place ourselves somewhere safer. Not the thief,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: not the criminal, maybe the concerned observer, maybe the sympathetic bystander,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: anything but the guilty man on the cross. The truth is,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: we're closer to him than we want to admit. You
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: may not have committed his crimes, but you've sinned. You've
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: chosen yourself over what's right. You've wounded people with words
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: that you can't take back. You've ignored truth when it
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: was inconvenient. You've known better and done otherwise, and so
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: have I. And deep down you know it. You feel
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: it in the quiet moments, in the stillness that we
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: don't take much anymore. When the noise fades and the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: distractions stop working, there's a whisper you can't quite silence.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Something isn't right. The thief stopped silencing it, he let
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: it speak, and it crushed him. But friends, here's what's
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: so staggering about that. That crushing moment was the beginning
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: of his rescue. Because as long as you believe you're
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: good enough, you will never reach for the one who is.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: As long as you defend yourself, you will never surrender,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and as long as you hold on to the illusion,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: you will never experience the truth. The truth isn't comfortable,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: it's not flattering. It doesn't patch you on the back.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: It nails you to a cross and says you are guilty.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't stop there, because hanging next to that
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: guilty man was the only innocent one who has ever lived.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: And he was there by accident. He wasn't there by accident. Rather,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: he was there on purpose. He wasn't supposed to be there.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: He chose to be there. He didn't commit crimes to
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: be there. He willfully took the slander and the wrongful
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: accusal and went to that cross. He went there for him,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: the thief, for you, and for me. That's the part
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: that should shake us, because Jesus didn't come for people
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: who had it together. He came for people who didn't.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Jesus didn't come for righteous people. He came for the guilty,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: which means this the moment you finally stopped pretending, the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: moment you finally tell the truth about yourself, you are
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: standing closer to the grace that you have longed four
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and you've ever been in your life. That thief was
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: seconds from eternity, nothing to offer, nothing left to fix,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: nothing left to prove, just a broken man telling the truth,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and it was enough to change everything. So don't rush
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: past this. Don't soften it, don't explain it away. Let
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: it hit you, let it unsettle you, let it strip
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: away every comfortable lie you've built around yourself, because until
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: you see yourself clearly, you will never see him for
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: who he truly is. And once you do, everything changes everything.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I'm Kevin McColloch.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Let's stick around it for more of than Kevin.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: Next here he is from New York, That Kevin.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Kevin McCullough.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, Kevin mccallaugh.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Glad to have you with us.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: We're going to take a really slow look at the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: thief on the cross this week today. Just his realization,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: just his waking up, just his saying, hey, I guess
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not what I thought I was and being honest
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: about it. And friends, that's where That's where I want
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: all of us to be this week. You've heard me
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: talking about open the Bible. You've heard me talking about Heaven,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: how I got here, and the story of the Thief
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: on the Cross, and the watch kits that we are
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: providing for people that request them. If you go to
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: that kevinshow dot com backslash Heaven, you can request a
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: watch kit. What comes in it is a trailer to
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the movie, the link to the movie, and some discussion
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: questions for the movie, and whether you watch it on
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: your own or you share it with friends. We hope
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: that you'll share it many times this week, But will
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: you join us in telling this story of the Thief
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: on the Cross to as many people as possible. I
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: don't think there's a better example in all of scripture
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: of what the Christian experience of saving faith looks like
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: more than that. So, my friends, thank you for being here.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I'm also asking you to consider feeding one of the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: forty six children we have left of our goal of
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: seven hundred and twenty. Thank you for a huge response
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: this weekend. Forty six kids left. I don't want to
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: leave one of them behind. Seventy five dollars feeds one
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: of them two meals a day for the next year,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and gives them all the clean drinking water they can have,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and also shares with them the love of Jesus. They're
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: in bad physical shape because they're malnourished. They're in bad
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: physical shape because the only water sources that they have
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: are filthy, diseased, filled with germs and microorganisms that will
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: give them all kinds of intestinal problems. But you solve
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: all that when you give them clean drinking water, as
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: much of it as they can have for the next
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: foreseeable future, and two meals a day carbohydrates, proteins, things
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: that their bodies undernourished body's need to begin to not
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: just heal, but begin to grow, and two meals a
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: day for the next year, plus all the clean drinking
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: water they can have when they're not getting one meal
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: every three days now and drinking sludge. Friends, what a
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: gift that is? Seventy five dollars does that for one
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: child for the whole year, for the whole year, seven
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty meals and all the clean drinking water
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: that they can handle. And the water is three times
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: as valuable as the food. Seventy five dollars one kid.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: There are forty six children that we have that are
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: on the list that we have not spoken for yet,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: and I'm asking you to be as generous as you can.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: One person could handle the entire forty six kids for
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: a thirty five hundred dollars gift. Could you do one
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty and take care of two kids. Here's
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: a little added sweetener. If you do it this hour,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: it will be matched, So go for it. We also
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: have a thank you gift for every person that gives
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: a gift this week. If you give a gift of
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: any dollar amount, seventy five dollars helps a child. But
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: whatever you can give twice that three times that eight
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: five five nine zero seven four six seven three. We
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: have a little gift for you. It's a little EP
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: is what it's called. It's a little mini music project
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: has two songs on it designed to help focus your
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: thoughts for Holy Week, make us a little more grateful
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: for what Jesus did. But we will send that to
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: you electronically Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube. Once you give
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: your gift, everyone that gives a gift gets it free
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: this this week. So even if you get something already
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: and you want to get it, Just give another gift
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: whatever size eight five, five, nine, zero seven, four, six
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: seven three eight five five nine zero seven four six
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: seven three eight fivey five nine zero seven four six
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: seven three. But we need you to be generous, and
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: we need you to do it today. And why are
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: we giving you those two songs, that little ep because
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: they narrow us in on the message of just how
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: crazy it looked that Jesus would give up everything for us.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I've called it for years of madness. The people around
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: him looked at him as though he were mad. In reality,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: it was the Pharisees who were mad that came up.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: He's riding the donkey to get in the city, and
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: they're like, you can't do that. People don't even think
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: you the Messiah. Why because it fulfills a prophecy that
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: says the Messiah is going to come in riding on
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: a donkey. The Pharisees were so stubborn that they couldn't
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: realize that that prophecy was being fulfilled in front of
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: their eyes. So we're asking you give a gift, settle
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: in on the madness, the madness that is the mercy
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and grace of God, and that's what it's called Madness
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and Mercy.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: The other song, much.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: More well known, text My Jesus, I Love the to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a new tune, new arrangement way. You've never heard it before,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: but it will comfort your heart in a deep and
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: profound way if you let the Love of Jesus embrace you.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: It is a Monday Monday. We will talk with David Fisher.
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: Next here he is from New York.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: That n Kevin McCullough.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome, it's Kevin McCullough. It is money Monday,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and so we're going to think about how to use
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: our resources to protect the legacy that God has given us,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: that we've worked for. And David Fisher's back with us
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: from Landmark Gold and David, it's it's a new week.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: We're moving into the second quarter of the year. Recession
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: is in the news. It seems to be a growing concern.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: What triggers it and what are the effects on the markets?
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Do you think?
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: Well, the economists are growing really antsy about this, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: they seemed to be talking quite a bit about it.
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: Black Rock says a prolonged high oil environment could trigger
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: a severe global recession. Moody says there's a forty nine
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: percent chance now a recession in the next twelve months. E. Parthian,
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: which is a financial firm, says thirty five percent. I
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: can go on and on. JP Morgan thirty five percent
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: and others. This is a lot of it has to
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: do with a couple things. We're talking about the pulling
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: back of consumers spending. We're talking about less hiring. We're
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: in like a wage stagnation. Obviously, high oil prices. Oil
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: is now at one hundred dollars a barrel. It's not
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: at its all time highs, most recently as one eighteen,
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: but it's up, you know, seventy five plus percent. That's
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: a big movement in oil that's causing a big problem.
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: And the polls out there Gallup Pole negative view of
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: the future prospect is now being said by Gallup and
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: there's another one by nerd Wallet done in early March.
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: Sixty five percent of the respondents say we're going to
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: have a recession in the next twelve months. So the
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: unemployment rate is not as low, job growth is slow.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: So the key points are the uncertainty of the war
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: that's going on with Iran, and we're in a low fire,
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: low higher job market according to CNBC, and employers are
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: very reluctant to add more jobs because the uncertainty. And
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: on top of that, Kevin the FED is stuck in
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: the corner.
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: We have.
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: Inflation is above our target range of two percent. It's
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: continuing to not come down and back. The last report
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: was not good. Growth is weakening, and there's this threat
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: of maybe one hundred and thirty hundred and forty dollars oil,
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: some say two hundred. If we get to the one
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: thirty level. Four out of five times oil shocks like
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: this it ends in the recession. So hopefully we'll keep
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: this around one hundred dollars barrel. And why are we
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: talking about this because history says when we have an
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: oil shock, let's go back to the seventies, prices rose
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: faster than wages. It turned into stag inflation.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: We talked about that.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: On your program last week. And stocks fail fifty percent.
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: They call it the lost decade. And what happened to
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: gold and silver? Gold went up five hundred percent in
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: five years. Silver went up twice as much as gold.
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: So the market is viewing there's this risk. It's not eminent,
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: but it's a real risk that's growing.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: The treasury market's red stress light is flashing bright red.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: What is that all about?
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, So they reason why we're talking about this is
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: because this is how we finance our debt. When we overspend,
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: the treasury issues a treasury bill hoping that the rest
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: of the world will buy our treasuries. And last year
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: the dollar went down nine and a half percent, so
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: an investor has to make nine and a half percent
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: to break even, and a treasury pays four percent, so
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: they have a guaranteed loss.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: The dollar's not this year.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: But there's this obvious idea that we're going to get
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: back to the fundamentals that the dollar is going to
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: go down again because the government's not going to stop
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: spending and the world has come to that conclusion. And
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: mathematically now we're at the place where were definitely cannot
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: pay off the debt. But on top of that, there's
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: a new thing that just happened last week. Iran is
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: now threatening those entities, institutions, and individuals and hedge funds
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: that are buying US treasuries and a social media posts,
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: the Iranians parliament speaker Mohammad Bagdare got a belief said,
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: US treasury bonds are silked with Iranian's blood. Purchase them,
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: and you purchase a strike on your assets. Alongside military bases,
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: those financial entities that finance the utility US military budget
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: are now legitimate targets. And so we've seen escalation of
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: missiles being fired and drones in Israel, the golf countries, Kuwait,
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: United Air Emirates, Saudi Arabian those and then there's a
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: special person Bob Murphy from Messa's Institute comments and says,
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: there's lots of countries we're trying to reduce their exposure
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: to treasuries. They're just trying to figure it out. If
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: the dollar starts sinking, it's going to sink fast. We're
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: going to have another crash. It could be five years,
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: but it's coming. There's no doubt at all.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Now that gold and silver markets have had a brief pullback,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: are people buying? Are they buying the dip? Are they
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: is it? What's the thinking?
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: Well, you understand gold and silver because you bought from
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: our company, and a lot of people who have bought
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: from us before are calling in and repurchasing at these levels.
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: They see a fire cell going on. This is a
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: paper sell off that happened here recently in the golden
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: silver market, but gold and silver is up a year
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: to date, silver is actually flat. Gold is up five
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: point seven percent, while stocks are down as much as
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: almost six percent in indexes in the SMP The Nasdaq's
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: up almost a percent, but the dowsdown almost five percent.
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: So gold is still the leading horse in the race.
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: I'm not saying take all your money out of stocks
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: and put in gold and silver, but we're headed for
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: historical precedence. Every time we've had a war breakout, there's
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: been a pullback in gold, only to find out there's
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: this massive movement that happens again right during the end
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: of the World war or when it has a ceasefire.
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: So we're going to get to the towards the end
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: of this. Maybe it might be this week, this month,
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: but you're going to see a big rally in gold
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: and silver and the pathway for gold. The cru Group
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: says six thousand dollars today and gold is a forty
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: six hundred almost forty five sixty eight. So the moral
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: of the story is only to buy gold by golden weight.
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: You can roll over your four one k r iri
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: into physical gold and silver.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: By the dip. It really does work. All the years
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I've known David, Gold's never gone down. Colt's never lost
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: money at the end of any of the years I've
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: known you, David. So that's that's pretty remarkable. Landmark, goold

• 36:12
  Speaker 1: It's Holy Weak Special week. The show is going to
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: be very different. We're going to talk very heavily about
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: the reality of Jesus and what he did. And Friend,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to give up. I'm not going to
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: give up until you understand for yourself how unique and
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: special you are, because it takes someone who loves you
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: very much to be willing to do what he did.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: It did not look like what was normal, It did
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: not come from a place that was expected. What Jesus
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: did in this week, all those many years ago, stands
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: as history's greatest suffering and greatest liberation. And a lot
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: of people say, would say, friend, that that just sounds crazy,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: that there's a madness to that that doesn't make sense.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: And that's what I wrote this song about. Gavin McCullough.

  Speaker 1: It looked like craziness to everybody that was around. It
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: looked insane to other people.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: It was not.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: It was not what you know, any of us would
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: probably have figured would be done. And yet in all
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: the that he took and all of the suffering that
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: he went through, he bore it all so that we
• 40:05

• 42:25
  Speaker 1: I actually earmark on the calendar is big, if not
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: more so than Christmas. And part of it is friend
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: I'm just burdened for people that don't know Jesus to
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: know him. I actually believe that there is a God.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I actually believe that that God's existence matters, and that
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: what he has to say about our existence is really important.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why I'm so happy that
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Openthebible dot org has partnered with us this week to

  Speaker 1: to maybe have a discussion with them about what it

  Speaker 1: gonna watch this film with. It's a one act It's
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: a one actor play that's done in one act. It's
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: about an hour long. The actor is Stephen Baldwin and
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: he portrayed this character on stage probably about twelve years ago.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: But it is the one man's story of the thief,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: telling the entire story of what happened to him the
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: day that Jesus was crucified. Now that's just one of
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: the things we have for you this week. There's something
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: else I want you to be aware of. Are entering
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the final stretch of our time with food for the Poor,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: and I've been so excited and so encouraged by how
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: so many of you have responded and said, you know,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I want to help the children that are hungry. I
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: don't want them to be hungry anymore. I want them
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: to know, to know how important it is that this
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Jesus that we're talking about, that we love, that rose
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: from the dead this week is real, and I want
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: it to be by their side, and I want to
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: do everything I can to feed them and to help
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: them know this reality. I will tell you this much.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: We have been blown away by your generosity, but we
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: want to keep being blown away. Right now, let me
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: just give you the latest. We are forty six kids
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: away from hitting the goal of seven hundred and twenty
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: kids for the next year that will be fed two
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: meals a day and clean drinking water for the foreseeable future,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: probably as long as they live at least ten to
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: twenty years. The water filtration systems have a very long
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: shelf life. Seventy five dollars per child helps one of
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: those children and friends. For anyone making a gift of
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars or more this week, we
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: are going to send you a complimentary copy of The
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Tea Collective's Madness and Mercy EP, two songs kind of
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: designed to help you narrow your thoughts about Holy Week
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: onto what you want to do. And I will just
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: tell you that if one person wanted to do the
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: remaining amount, thirty five hundred dollars would cover all forty
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: six of those children. But if you can't any size
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: gift seventy five helps one, one hundred and fifty helps two,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: would you consider right now doing that for the benefit
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: of these of these children. I don't want to get
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: to the end of this campaign and say, hey, we
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: were going for seven hundred and twenty and we got
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: to seven hundred and ten. No, we are far from
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: being satisfied here. We're at six hundred and eighty something
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: kids that we've taken care of. But will you help
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: us get across the goal line? Could we get across
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: the goal line today with forty six kids, that's twenty
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: three of you doing a one time gift of one
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars one time, one time gift, and
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: then that child eats. Those two children eat two meals
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: a day and have clean drinking water for the foreseeable
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: future two meals per day. By the way, that guarantees
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: them fourteen hundred and sixty meals over the next year.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: You want to do a tangible something good for Holy Week?
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: This is it feed a kid host to watch party.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Make a difference in your world. I'm gonna say it again.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Feed a kid host to watch party, make a difference
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: in your world. We'll send you the movie. We'll send
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: you a little music EP you can get on Spotify,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Apple or YouTube. It doesn't matter. We'll send you whatever
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: works for you. But make this week, this holy week,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: a week of spiritual generation, physical healing and feeding and
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: spiritual renewal in your own heart. Spiritual formation in someone
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: else's life because you introduce them to Jesus, physical formation
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: in a child's life because you feed them for the
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: next year, and in your own heart. God does his
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: surgery with you and you become even more who He
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: has you to be, who He wants you could be friends.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. Let's do it.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Host a watch party, feed a kid, change the world
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: this healthy week.
• 50:10
  Speaker 15: Can we do that?
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I think I think we can go to go to
• 50:13

  Speaker 2: He is from New York, That Kevin.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Kevin mckella, Welcome back to Times Square. It's that Kevin show,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: that kevinshow dot com for all things related. We never
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: put anything behind the paywall. We want you to have
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: access to it one thousand percent. And if you've been
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: hearing me talk about your WatchKit for this week, we
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: are here Holy week.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: It's time.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: It's time to unleash. It's time to unleash the prisoner.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: If you will heaven, how I Got here, the story
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: of the Thief on the Cross, the movie, the trailer,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: the study questions, they're all in one little pack, and
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: we have it for you. If you go to that
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: kevinshow dot com backslash Heaven, or you go on the site,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: you can click the link, but just click on there,
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: stick your email in. We're going to send you back
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: electronically the trailer to the film, the film itself, and
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: also the study questions. And our ask is real simple.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: We want you to watch it and we want you
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: to ask and invite friends to watch it with you,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: because this is the most I think it's My opinion
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: could be wrong. I think it's the most powerful presentation
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: of the Gospel in scripture itself. A man who could
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: do nothing to save himself of any way, being remembered
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: by Jesus and most likely being the very first person
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: to put his faith in Christ in his death, in
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: his sufficiency of his death to experience Heaven with him.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Here to discuss a little bit further is Pastor Colin Smith,
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: who is the president and head of Openthebible dot org,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: and he's got a brand new book that is kind
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: of cool and a new little program he's been running
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: around the UK with for the last couple of weeks.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: But I just got to see him at n RB
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago and it was such a delight. Colin,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: welcome back. It's been about a year since you were
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: with us the last time, and it's always good to
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: see you.
• 52:51
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I think exactly a year because it would have
• 52:53
  Speaker 16: been the week before Easter. And it's always a joy
• 52:56
  Speaker 16: to be on your program. Kevin, thanks for having me
• 52:58
  Speaker 16: on today.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: To the very genesis of the sermon that you preached
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: on the thief and what God did in your heart
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: when you were preparing that message. Because this has literally
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: become from that one sermon so many different things, and
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: it's spreading the Gospel in so many different ways. But
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: what was the genesis of it?
• 53:21
  Speaker 16: Well, I think you said it earlier. I'm absolutely convinced
• 53:25
  Speaker 16: that this is the best and clearest and most compelling
• 53:29
  Speaker 16: story that we have in all of the Bible for
• 53:31
  Speaker 16: helping a person to understand grace. And what was so
• 53:36
  Speaker 16: gripping to me when I was working on that initial
• 53:39
  Speaker 16: sermon was that most people, I think, have the idea
• 53:43
  Speaker 16: that if a person was to get to Heaven, they
• 53:46
  Speaker 16: would get there by living a good enough life. And clearly,
• 53:49
  Speaker 16: this story just blows that out of the water. Here's
• 53:53
  Speaker 16: a man who has not lived a good life. He's
• 53:55
  Speaker 16: at the end of his life. He can't turn over
• 53:57
  Speaker 16: a new leaf, can't do any of these things, and
• 54:00
  Speaker 16: yet Jesus amazingly promises this man who's clearly on the
• 54:04
  Speaker 16: brink of hell that he's going to have a new
• 54:07
  Speaker 16: life in heaven.
• 54:08
  Speaker 12: Today.
• 54:08
  Speaker 16: You will be with me in Paradise. And that is
• 54:11
  Speaker 16: just so compelling. I think it opens up the question
• 54:14
  Speaker 16: in people's minds. Well, clearly he did not get into
• 54:18
  Speaker 16: heaven by living a good enough life. So how did
• 54:21
  Speaker 16: he get into heaven? That takes us to grace and
• 54:24
  Speaker 16: to what we can find in the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 54:27
  Speaker 16: And that's why that story has been so compelling to me.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: You've there is this still, there's still to this day,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: this stigma. A couple of stigmas. One that Christians somehow
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: know it all and are better than everybody else, and
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: so because they think they have it all figured out,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: obviously I can't measure up to that, so I just
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: give up. The other part is this I've been too
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: bad and I've gone too far and there's no way
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: that God could reach all the way down to where
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: I am for the things that I've done. And the
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: truth is that these are both really false assumption. First
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: of all, Christians aren't not a alls that get it
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: all right, We were sinners. We had to be sinners
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: to get into the club. You can't get in the
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: club without being a sinner. And secondly, there's no sin
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: too far gone.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 55:13
  Speaker 16: And to acknowledge that you are a sinner, I mean,
• 55:17
  Speaker 16: I think that's where Anyone who thinks that they're high
• 55:21
  Speaker 16: and mighty above everyone else really hasn't grasped the gospel
• 55:25
  Speaker 16: of God's marvelous grace. The starting point of it really
• 55:29
  Speaker 16: is that we acknowledge our own need. And that's one
• 55:31
  Speaker 16: of the things that the thief did. He says to
• 55:35
  Speaker 16: the other thief, and the two of them at first
• 55:38
  Speaker 16: had been hurtling all kinds of abuse and insults at Jesus.
• 55:42
  Speaker 16: But then there was a change in this man's mind
• 55:45
  Speaker 16: and heart, and he said to the other thief, we
• 55:48
  Speaker 16: are getting what our deeds deserve. So there's some real
• 55:52
  Speaker 16: acknowledging there of not being in a right position before
• 55:58
  Speaker 16: God and of not being able to solve it ourselves.
• 56:02
  Speaker 16: That that's the beginning point or the starting point of
• 56:05
  Speaker 16: faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. So anyone who is
• 56:09
  Speaker 16: really a Christian knows what it is to be humbled
• 56:12
  Speaker 16: and to recognize that we can't depend on having lived
• 56:17
  Speaker 16: a good enough life, and that we have to depend
• 56:21
  Speaker 16: on what Jesus alone is able to give to us.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, friends, today, if you're listening and you're thinking, well,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that I want Jesus because
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: I don't like Jesus's people. If you're if you're upset
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: with hypocrites, if you're upset with people that blow it,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: if you're Jesus was upset by all that same stuff,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: It's it's hard to reject him when when the same
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: things disappoint him that disappoint you. So my encouragement would
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: be try him, reach out to him, see what he
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: has to offer, which is what the thief does. The
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: thief kind of after he says, you know, we get
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: what we deserve, you point out getting what we deserve
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: is good for nobody.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah, there's no hope in that.
• 57:04
  Speaker 16: I mean, a message that simply reap what you saw
• 57:07
  Speaker 16: leaves a person at the end of the line without
• 57:11
  Speaker 16: any hope and without any possibility.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: Of forgiveness, mercy and grace.
• 57:16
  Speaker 16: But I think one of the things that would have
• 57:18
  Speaker 16: touched the thief really deeply is that because he was
• 57:22
  Speaker 16: crucified with Jesus, he would have heard Jesus say the words, Father,
• 57:28
  Speaker 16: forgive them. They do not know what they are doing.
• 57:31
  Speaker 16: Jesus said that as he was being nailed to the cross.
• 57:35
  Speaker 16: And I wonder therefore, if the thief, having heard that,
• 57:38
  Speaker 16: didn't figure these things together and say, boy, if he
• 57:42
  Speaker 16: could offer forgiveness even to the people who nailed him
• 57:46
  Speaker 16: to the cross, then maybe he can offer forgiveness to me.
• 57:50
  Speaker 16: And so he reaches out to Jesus and he asked, Jesus,
• 57:53
  Speaker 16: will you remember me when you come into your kingdom, which,
• 57:56
  Speaker 16: by the way, seems to indicate that he recognized that
• 57:59
  Speaker 16: Jesus was a king and that there really is a
• 58:01
  Speaker 16: future life, and that Jesus is going to be in
• 58:03
  Speaker 16: charge of who gets into it. So all of these
• 58:06
  Speaker 16: things are there.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: There's only yeah, he got theological quickly.
• 58:09
  Speaker 11: Oh he did.
• 58:10
  Speaker 16: He really grasped the things that any person needs to
• 58:12
  Speaker 16: grasp in order to be saved. I'm a sinner. Jesus
• 58:15
  Speaker 16: is a king, he has a kingdom, He forgives, and
• 58:19
  Speaker 16: if I reach out to him, I might find some
• 58:21
  Speaker 16: hope in him. And of course the promise of Jesus
• 58:23
  Speaker 16: indicates that that's exactly what happened.
• 58:26
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: Friends, we have been praying for this, the whole ministry
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: of Open the Bible. Everybody on my team, my small
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: group other people have been praying that you would do
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: a couple of things this Holy Week. You would download
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: or go and request to watch kit, download the trailer,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: watch the movie, look at the study questions, Invite people
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: to come watch it with you. Maybe you go to
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: their house and you pull it up on their TV
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: or whatever. But like, get people together. We've been asking
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: you to think of people to invite, to do this
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: very thing that God would put people on your heart.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: And if you have not yet done it, there's still
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: plenty of time. We're just at the beginning of Holy Week.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: Go to that kevinshow dot com backslash Heaven, request the
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: watch kit, request the film. We will send it to
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: you almost immediately. You'll get it by return email. And
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: then make this week pray about who you're supposed to invite,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: and then invite them. Don't just pray and well I'm
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: praying about No, You've got to do the actual inviting
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: and then be prepared to talk with them once it's done,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: when it's over, run through some of the questions, or
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: just say hey, what did you think about what you saw?
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: God will give you the words. The Holy Spirit is
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: never short on being able to supply answers to people
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: that are looking for them. And I would encourage you
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: to make this week a week in which you do that,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: and friends, if we do that, if we do that,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: I believe more than a million people can be invited.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: More than a million people can view this film. More
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: than a million people could see Jesus for the very
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: first moment of their life and have the rest of
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: their lives to understand what it is to know Him
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: and to follow him and to walk with him. Pastor Colin,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: what's your prayer this week as you're going into the
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: very familiar surroundings of Holy Week.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 16: Well, exactly what you have just said there, Kevin. I mean,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 16: we've been doing this in partnership together now for several years,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 16: and so you know as I do that, the response
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 16: to this in past years has been absolutely marvelous. I
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 16: mean pages and pages and pages of emails of people
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 16: who've been moved and been touched by this very simple presentation,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 16: a one hour film of the story of the Thief
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 16: on the Cross, and it's been on your heart and
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 16: on my heart that we really set a stretch goal
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 16: this year, and your prayer and my prayer that we
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 16: would see a million people see this and the people
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 16: would be deeply touched, and that some would come to
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 16: faith in Christ. That's a marvelous vision, and it's wonderful
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 16: to be partnership together to invite God's people to act
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 16: on this, to seize this opportunity, and to see what
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 16: God will do with this presentation of the marvelous truth
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 16: of God's grace.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: That's what we're all praying for. Pastor Colin Smith, open
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: the Bible dot org. Thank you for all that you're doing,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: and we're praying that God will just make himself known
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: to many people this year because of these efforts.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 16: It's a joy to be in partnership with you, Kevin,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 16: Appreciate you.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Kevin McCulloch coming right back from Times Squared.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 17: Uncle Way, let's stick around for more of than Kevin.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 17: Next here he is from New York fact Ken Kevin.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: McCullough, Welcome back to Times Square. It's Kevin McCullough, that
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: Kevin Show, that kevinshow dot com. And even though I
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: am taking a large chunk of this week to focus
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: exclusively on the reflection around what these days mean, especially
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: to me personally, but also to what I feel like
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: is the welfare of humanity, we're not going to ignore
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: the news completely. So I want to I want to
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: welcome back PhD. Doctor Jacob Oladord, who I have not
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: ever once introduced by his proper title, and Jacob, I'm
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: sorry about that, but you're very very modest, you know,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: self deflecting guy. I appreciate the mannerisms and everything, but
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: you're you're knowledgeable, and I want people to appreciate that
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: about what you've done. And it happens to be in
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: the area that we talk about a lot, which is
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: the Middle East and what's going on there.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: Where are we with it?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: Ron it's been several weeks. I kind of feel like
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: we're going to be done before we know it here
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: pretty soon. But there's a lot of speculation by a
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: lot of people about this turning into a forever war
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: and so forth. So just from your educated perspective, what
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: does it look like to you on the ground.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: It's always wonderful to be with you, Kevin, and you're
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: very kind to say so. But obviously I know my place,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: and so I'm very happy to be a student of
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: the Middle East well to learn. But look, I think
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: it's it's an important inflection point, and I think, you know,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: I think Brett Stevens had a very good characterization of
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: it last week. I think it was in Your Times
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: where he said if past generations looked at our present
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: success as they would marvel at how well our military
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: is doing and actually even say how how lack of
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: appreciation we have for just the successes we've had.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: But I think the obvious question, as you raised, is there,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: and you know, if we're doing so well, then how
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: much longer do we need to be doing this? And
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: what is it actually that we're working towards? And I
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: think you know the answer really is I think you're right.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: I think this may be over. I mean what soon
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: means is obviously hard to tell, but I think we're
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: trying to set the conditions on the ground ultimately where
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: we don't have to go back and again, where we
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: don't have any further problems that require such attention military
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: attention from the least from the United States.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: I kind of see two buckets of problems that we
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: haven't solved completely yet, and that is, do we have
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: a chain of command government for them that we can
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: work with, that the President will be able to be
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: loyal to. And I kind of feel like we haven't
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: found that person yet in Iran. But I feel like
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: we're probably getting close. Problem number two is we have
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: to get the uranium. The uranium has got to be expunged,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: and I think you can't do that from the air,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: So right, US Israel who goes in there and gets it?
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: And how do we pull it out? And you know, yet,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like if we got that out of their
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: possession and we had a chain of command that we
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: could work with that was willing to take over stewardship,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: I would I think that. I think that we're done.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: I think those are the last two steps.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: I think you're exactly right. And look, I mean, you
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: know that's kind of the elephant in the room, this
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: question about boots on the ground or you know, not
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: only doing it from the air.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: What does it look like.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: I think there's reasonable concerns about what that is. You know,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: we have a lot of well well founded trauma and
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: associations with those types of scenarios. But I did think
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: that on Fox News that was pretty well said by
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: Johnny Joe. I think it was you know, a veteran
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: of both Iraq and Afghanistan who lost both legs in combat.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: He said, look, I'm against this, I'm torn about this,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: but if it happens. The President has the right, he
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: has a strong record of protecting the American people, and
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: I just want to make sure that if we do this,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: we do it to get the objective done, in this case,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: getting the uranium out, and let's call it a day.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: We don't want to be nation building, and I obviously
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: don't think that's what we're about at all here. I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: think it's just about that, you know, finishing that that
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: last mile, as it were in football, just getting that
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: done and really eradicating the threat. And as you said,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: some of that needs to be done with more than
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: just air power. So I think that's well.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can extract uranium from their deep,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: deep underground bunkers and you know, from the air, so
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure I just I'm just kind of
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: gut guessing at this point, but I'm I feel like
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Masad probably knows where most of it is. We obviously
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: knew that, you know, what we did last June hit
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: some significant operations of what their nuclear program was. But
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: by no means did anybody think that all of the
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: uranium was in one place and that whatever they want
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: to enrich if they just if they wait out their time,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: and they say, well, you know, the Americans won't be
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: here forever. They think, well, we'll just get away with it.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: We've got to we've got to we've got to take
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: the toy away from the toddler.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: I think that's exactly right. And look, we're not at
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: this alone, you know. Obviously, as you said, these realities
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: have this intelligence, the precision of the weapons. We also
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 4: have our allies in the golf as well. Who are
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 4: all I mean, this is part of the President's objective
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: in the Middle East, but also in foreign policy in general,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: make our partners take ownership of their regions that we
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 4: don't have to, and I think we're seeing that in
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: real time. The UAE even have the Japanese come out
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: and say they'll provide mind sweepers and rate So I
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: think this is That's what when I say conditions on
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: the ground, you know, it's not so much about the
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: regime in Iran itself, which I think nobody's under any
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: illusions that these are doing in good faith or have
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 4: any other motive. But I think we are seeing a
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: new Middle East take shape with all of our partners
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: having the confidence because of the successes the US has
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: shown take ownership and stand for it for their region,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: and I think that's going to be a great long
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: term in state.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: I think the only way the region maintains stability is
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: to have a check and balance between you know, the
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Saudis and the Iranians and people that dislike each other.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: There has to be some degree of of There cannot
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: be a dominant that domineers over everyone else, because that's
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: what basically Iran has been doing and it's and they
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: turned into the worst tear state on planet Earth. We've
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: got to We've got to be cautious, but we've also
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: got to you know, finish the job and then hopefully,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: hopefully the President has the plan to bring them home soon.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see this go on for one
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: day longer than necessary, but I do think that we've
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: done a good thing here, and I think you're right.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: The realignment and the remaking of the entire world because
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: of this is going to be something that they're going
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: to write about in history books. I mean, our grandkids
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: are going to have to read, you know, about the
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: greatness of this campaign because of just how exceptional it's been.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: Doctor Jacob Olidor, thank you for being with us as always.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Happy Easter, you and your family, and to
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: you as well.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough coming right back. Don't go Wayne.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: Here he is from New York. Ken Kevin McCullough.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back, Kevin mcpella. Happy Monday to you.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: It is money Monday, and that means we take a
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: look at things that impact your earnings and your savings
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: and your investment and how you can be better protecting
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: of those things, leaving them as a legacy for people
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: after you, or helping them grow in the process. Hillary
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: Kramer's back with us. She helps us every week with this,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: and Hillary, this is an interesting kind of moment in
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: the investment calendar. But you're saying today there are some
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: falling knives, which you don't normally suggest that we try
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: to catch, you saying there are some that may may
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: be worth the risk right now.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 15: That's absolutely the case.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 14: So always keep in mind that expression. Don't try to
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 14: catch a falling life, don't try to catch a falling knife.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 14: But sometimes, like for example, last April, when I picked
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 14: up I picked up four stocks last April that ended
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 14: up jumping back, including I picked up some extra Nvidia
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 14: and I made a good sixty percent on it.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 15: Sure it wasn't a one thousand percent return, but it
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 15: was just beautiful. So we're in a position where we're
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 15: we're in a state of war.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 14: We have price of oil that has impacted us at
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 14: the pump. All the transportation industries are reeling in pain,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 14: not just airlines, you know, not just cargo.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 15: Across the board.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 14: And then we have all of the chemical plant you know,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 14: think of the chemicals that are part of the supply
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 14: chain that go into so many of our end products,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 14: whether it be paint or our windex.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 15: That we use, or I mean just just across the board,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 15: or just in terms of industrial use.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 14: So what I'm what I'm prefacing here is let's jump
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 14: in and look at those companies that have just fallen
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 14: out of bed because we are in a war five
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 14: weeks into a war that we know we're going to
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 14: come out of, and we know the stock market is
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 14: going to get go high again. And that's why let's
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 14: start with Zebra Technologies, which I've talked about over the
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 14: U year. Zb are a two hundred dollars at a
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 14: fifty two week low today, only a nine billion dollar
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 14: market cap company, but a company that impacts our life,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 14: all of us, all of the time. Based in Lincolnshire, Illinois,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 14: shout out for Illinois today, and Zebra is your RFID company.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 15: Zebra puts the little device.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 14: That's the pinhead device onto the cows, so by the
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 14: time you eat your hamburger, you'll know where that cow
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 14: was born, who its parents were, and who owns the farm.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 15: Okay, so that'll tell you everything you need to know.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 14: So RFID stands for radio frequency identification devices RTLS is
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 14: real time location systems, which is what helps when there's
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 14: a problem on the supply side and on the supply chain,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 14: especially in the consumer side, to know and identify immediately
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 14: if there's a recall that's needed. In addition to the
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 14: data that it captures, you the automated data and which
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 14: allows for such computing and optimization of so many different
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 14: solutions that are needed. So Zbra at two hundred dollars,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 14: we're talking about a stock that in one year, it's
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 14: down twenty nine.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 15: Percent in the last fifty two weeks. The low was
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 15: today two hundred dollars.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 14: The high was on July thirty first, twenty twenty five,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 14: at three hundred and fifty.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 15: Two dollars, So Zebra, buy your ZBR.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 14: Another one I want everyone to be thinking about is
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 14: Biohan BHVM. Biohan is just again another one that's just
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 14: been taken out to the woodshed. Small company one point
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 14: two billion dollar market cap, specializes in neuroscience neurology. One
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 14: of their most important proprietary drugs works on migraines. But
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 14: they also have drugs which I remember recently talking to
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 14: you about that is working on everything from obsessive compulsive
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 14: disorder to neuromuscular issues as well as even.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 15: In the area of autism.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 14: And the company's just done really poorly a year to date,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 14: meaning in three months the stock's down twenty nine percent.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 14: Bah to v n B as in boy, H, is
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 14: in Heaven, v as in Victor, and is in Nancy
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 14: at eight dollars. This stock is going to be back
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 14: up at twelve thirty, twelve dollars or thirteen dollars before long. Okay,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 14: So you really really want to be want to be
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 14: there in Biohaven as a biotechnology company. Another one that
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 14: I absolutely love that has come off not sharply but
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 14: again during this time period of war is Omega Healthcare
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 14: Investors OHI.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 15: I love Omega.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 14: It's a stock that I have for my parents. I
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 14: don't usually talk about Kevin. How often have I've even
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 14: mentioned those words?
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: I have not lot, that's for sure, No, I don't.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 7: Really.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 15: It's actually for my mother.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 14: The divid and yield is six percent, and I bought Omega,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 14: you know, at forty four dollars. I think I picked
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 14: it up for her years ago at like around twenty
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 14: two dollars or twenty three dollars, so she's almost doubled
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 14: her money. But the point is the six percent dividend yield.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 14: And what Omega does is it's a baby boomer stock.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 14: Baby boomer in the sense that that they they operate rehabing,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 14: acute facilit care facilities, they operate assisted living, skilled nursing facilities,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 14: these memory these memory centers, these you know, memory nursing
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 14: homes you know, are prolificating everywhere across the country. As
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 14: matter of fact, Omega has one twenty six facilities in
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 14: forty two states and uh and they're also they're also
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 14: even in the UK. They know how to do they
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 14: know how to do it well fifty two weeks. Then
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 14: the last fifty two weeks, the stock's been between thirty
• 1:15:05
