• 1:13
  Speaker 6: he wants to be, but.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Is way grateful that is not who he used to be. Here,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Welcome in, Calvin mccallaugh, Glad to have you with us.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know, friends, I just don't know. I don't
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: know how people sit around and say that the save
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: America Act is controversial. I don't understand it. It's a
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: ninety ten issue with the voting public. You've got Democrats, Independents, Republicans,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: all of them all saying voter id election integrity. Being
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: able to know so that the only people that cast
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: votes were people that had the right to vote. It
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: all makes sense. They all are on board. It's common sense.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And now the House of Representatives has really put it
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: into the lap of the Senate to bring this home,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and yet there's still some debate over over whether or
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: not it will and that I cannot comprehend. Yesterday, Speaker
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of the House, Mike Johnson was able to get He
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: was able to get two hundred and fifteen votes in
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the House of Representatives to pass as an attachment to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: an appropriations bill. More on why that's imported in a second,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: But he was able to get passed the Save America
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Act as it's pertained to the appropriations for the State Department.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And the argument here is that clean elections, national elections
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: have to do with our national security. Therefore, the Secretary
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of State, the State Department, how we protect the state
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: of the United States. These are all bona fide legit
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: real good things. But why is Congress debating whether Americans
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and only American citizens should vote in elections? Why? Why
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: are they having Why is John Thune so cloudy? He
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: says he supports it, by the way, why is he
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: so cloudy on being able to get it done. This
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: isn't about whether taxes should go up, This isn't about
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: whether America should intervene in another foreign war, and it's
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: not about whether Congress should spend another trillion dollars. Whether
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: American election should be decided by American citizens is one of,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: if not the most important issue I've said for this year.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: If we've reached the point where that requires some sort
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: of national debate, we have drifted way farther than most
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: people realize. And that's why to me, the Save of
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: America Act matters. It's called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and it's built on a principle that ought to unite
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: every American, regardless of party. Only citizens should vote in elections.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: End of story. Existing federal law already limits voting in
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: federal elections to US citizens, but supporters of the Save
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Act argue that the bill strengthens the verification of that
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: existing requirement during voter registration. And why is this an issue?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Come on, you remember I've told you, I've mentioned it
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to you. The reason this is important. In twenty twenty,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump supposedly lost the state of Georgia by eleven
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: thousand votes. After they audited the election, which is far
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: too late, way past, when the election's over, they found
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty five thousand fraudulent votes were cast
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: in the Georgia election. Three hundred and eighty five thousand
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: votes that were cast that should not have been counted,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: but that were three hundred and eighty five thousand votes
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: that were false, fake, not legitimate votes however you want
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to put it, should have never been there. That's why
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: supporters are arguing we need to Save America Act to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: stop that before it happens. And if you don't have
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: an ID, you can't submit a ballot just coming in
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: in a big batch of them from somewhere. Opponents to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: this contend it could make registration more difficult for some
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: eligible voters. Oh I'm so sorry, are you? Are you
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: too stupid to be able to fill out your applications properly,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: sign your name properly when you register and then show
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: up on the day of the election with your ID
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: in hand. Are you really that incapable? Are there people
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: in America that are that plausibly dumb? It's too coven,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: it's too hard.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to go about doing this.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Seriously, that's the argument we're gonna make on this. They
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: used to do it with a twine of racism at it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: They used to say, well, African Americans will have difficulty
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: getting their IDs and voting legally. Really, so that's the game.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: You're gonna be racist. Black people are too dumb to
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: do it. That's your argument. I don't think that wins.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I know it doesn't win. I've got too many black
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: friends who are way smarter than some of my dumb
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: white Democrat friends. I look it, friends, this is not
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a matter of race. It's not a matter of echio
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: socionomic capability. This is not a poor issue versus a
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: rich issue. This isn't anything. It's none of those things.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: The only people that are actually opposing this are not
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: being honest with why they're opposing it, and they're only
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: opposing it for one reason. They don't want tougher standards
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: because they want to cheat and cheat and cheat, which
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: is what they did in Georgia in twenty twenty. They
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: cheated and cheated and cheated some more. They sent out
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: so many ballots to so many people that didn't request them.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: They had ballots flying all over the place, and they
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: brought in three hundred and eighty five thousand phony ballots.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Their ability to win their second term was a harder fight,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: a smaller margin, and a smaller number of votes. In
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty, Donald Trump, losing supposedly to Joe Biden, supposedly
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: losing the race, got eleven million more votes in his reelection.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to tell you straight up, friends, the
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: cheating didn't happen on the Republican side. No one was
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: out there going, hey, let's corrupt the Republican votes. Republicans
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: don't think that way. They they just grimaced and grown
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: about turnout and then they hope for the best. But
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the Democrats, they had their machines working and they were harvesting,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: and they were chasing, and they were bringing ballots in.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And because there was no Say Act, because you had
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: no no one checking ID, no one checking proper signatures,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: no one doing the due diligence. What you had was
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty five thousand votes that were counted
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: that should have never been counted. Three hundred and eighty
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: five thousand. That's why the Save America Act needs to
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: be passed. And now the House of Representatives have done it,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: They've handed it back to the Senate. And what will
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: John Thune do? Two O two two two four thirty
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: one twenty one. Call your senator, tell them to vote
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: yes on the Save America Act. Two O two two
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: two four thirty one twenty one. Call Senator Thune's office
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and ask him to bring it up. Two O two
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: two two four thirty one twenty one. Kevin McCullough coming
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: right back, asking how we live.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: Next here He is from New York.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back. It's Kevin McCullough. It's that Kevin's show.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: And on this Wednesday edition, just like every day, we're
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: going to set aside this kind of early part of
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the show, kind of a first fruits, if you will,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: offering back to God and say, hey, this show is
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: yours and we want to do what honors you with it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: And one of the ways we can do that is
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: by asking the serious question how do we live? How
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: do we live in a culture that despises God, has
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: really no use for his word, seems to be intent
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: upon either questioning with suspicion the people that follow Jesus
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and at the very worst, opposing them, maybe even in
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: some places on the planet, killing them. That's the reality
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: for where Christians are at today. So how does that
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: affect you and I? And what do we do? How
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: do we live in spite of that being the context?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: That's what this segment's all about. Craig Gierre goes back
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: with us. He is from the christ Church at Grove
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Farm in the Pittsburgh area, and Craig, we're excited to
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: be continuing this discussion. We've started on a concept that
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know that we have ever covered in this
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: part of the show, and it's called the priesthood of
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the believer, and we've been looking at different aspects of
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: that and we come to Colossians for today and you're
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: talking about what it means to speak like priests. What's
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the concept here?
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, speak like priest.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: I'm sure with some of your listeners, Kevin are thinking, well,
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: if we're priest I get to wear the funny hat
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: and he that's totally up to you if you want
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: to wear the funny hat or not.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Almost has nothing to do with it. But yes, let's.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: You know, the reality is we are God's priest.
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: So take away even you know, there's a sense in
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: which we're drawing from the idea of an earthly priest
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: what we know about that, but I know that has
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: some connotations that aren't so you know, so gratifying. So
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: so take that away, and we are God's priests. This
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: is getting back to the core of what it means
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: to be someone who represents God before people and people
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: before God.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: And so this idea day of speaking like priest man.
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: I think most look most of us who followers of Christ.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: This is probably a prevailing feeling. I feel like I've
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: been around long enough now know this.
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: He probably do, Kevin, the most people feel like I
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: want to talk about Jesus. I'm either afraid or I'm
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: not sure what to say, or I don't think that
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: I have enough you know, knowledge, or whatever it might be.
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: So let me take us directly to Colossians four, and
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna read.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna read these these four verses.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: If that's okay, yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: Devote your this is starting in verse two of Colossians four.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Devote yours to prayer.
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: Be watchful and thankful, and pray for us too, that
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: God may open a door for our message, so that
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: am in Chaine.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: He's in change. Keep in mind here, that's how deep
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: the persecution was.
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: In his time.
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: Paul is pray that I may proclaim it clearly as
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders.
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: Make the most of every opportunity, and let your conversation
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: be always full of grace, season with sault, so that
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: you may know how to answer everyone. I think this
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: is at the heart of what we're talking about, and
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: as we talk about it, it's like, you know, the
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: anxiety does kick in. What if I lose a friendship?
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: You know, what if I don't say it right. What
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: Paul begins with is prayer. He says first that don't
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: ask for courage. He asks actually for an open door.
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: In the scripture we just read, he asks for an
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: open door, and naturally evange begins and sharing Christ and
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: speaking about our faith begins. Actually long before we speak,
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: because it begins, you know, with God at work in
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: people's hearts, and our responsibility is not necessarily forced open doors,
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: as Paul's reminding us of. It's like, you know, you're
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: you're walking through the doors that that He's already opening,
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: and so prayer like shifts the burden here. And I
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: think that's an important part of, you know, disarming the
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: anxiety some people feel about when they think about speaking
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: up there. It begins with praying to God opens doors.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Well. And I don't know about you, Craig, but I
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: think that in my own walk and when I talk
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: with a lot of people, I think the tendency for
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: me is not to worry about trying to pry doors open.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I think the tendency for me is to have the
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: courage to speak up when there's an obvious open door
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: in front of me. And it's not it's not unnatural,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: and it's something. I mean, they may stop asking you
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: over time if they don't want to hear about it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: But we we we talk about being fishers of men,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: and the opportunity for fishers fishermen to really do a
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: good job is to constantly be casting wherever the wherever
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: the water supply and the fish supply. Are you got
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: to be constantly casting something that's out there. I think
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: we have to do the same thing with our faith.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I think when somebody says, well, why why do you
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: believe that? Would you I'm going through a tough time?
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Would you? Would you pray for me? There's there's you know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: the obvious Monday morning, why did you go to church
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: this weekend? Well we we we chose to be there
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: because of these reasons. And this is what Jesus has
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: done for me. It doesn't have to be complicated. We
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: don't even have to to make it super theological or deep.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just the showing up in that space. And
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: that's the first seed. And and the next seed is
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: when they go, oh, you know, I am going through
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: a hard time. I remember that person said to me
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: that they're a Christian. I wonder what their God says
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: about this. And if I am on the lookout for
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: where He's already opened the door, I think that it
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: becomes something really that I have to just debate on,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you know, inside my own head. Do I walk through
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: it or do I not? And obviously I think the
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: answer is he wants us to uh to to walk
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: through those where where we where we best.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Can Yeah, and and and he I like that. Paul
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: goes on with what you're saying.
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: He goes on to say, look, make the most of
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: every opportunity, right, you know.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: Which which is what you're really describing.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: And well, you know in regards he was chained to
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: they were a captive audience.
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: Yes, absolutely, and and he and he says, the way
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: that you make the most is you're going to be
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: wise in the way that you act towards outsiders. And
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: again he knew some pretty aggressive and hostile siders. And
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: so I think, like it's not so much of a
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: being louder eloquent. Not every conversation is going to be
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: the same. What Paul is asking, you know, imploring us
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: to pray about, is do I give us discernment so
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: that and wisdom so that we know how to speak and.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: What to say.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: And I think you don't have to say everything. I
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: think it could be.
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: The one faithful thing to your to your really simple
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: illustration of what did you do this weekend?
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Well, I went to.
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: Church, why you know, And if it's why you do
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: that or or you tag onto why I went to
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: church man. That's something that's the best part of the
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: week for my family. We love going there. We feel
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: we feel fill we fee we feel.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Filled up from that experience.
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: I think making is this some wisdom that God gives
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: in terms of what we could say?
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Well, how how should being a priest in our speech?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: How does that get reflected in other aspects of life?
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: So this is where we get into Ephesians four fifteen.
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: I thought this was really interesting. I did some study
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: on this just to prepare you. And I say it
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: because I'm not just I don't know this Greek off
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: by heart, right, So you do some study and Epheesian
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: four fifteen says this. It says, instead of speaking the
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: truth and love, we will grow to become in every
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: respect them instead sorry, instead speaking the truth and love,
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: we will grow to become in every respect the mature
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: body of Him who is the head, that is Christ,
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: and that's speaking the truth and love. The I think
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: what I learned about that was that the Greek actually
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: is not speaking the truth in love.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: It's truthing in love. Truthing and love, which is so interesting,
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: isn't it?
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: And I kind of chuckled at it too, and I
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: think the thing that's really interesting about truth and and
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: love is that it's like, what does that that embodies living,
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: that embodies sharing, Yes, it embodies speaking. It becomes way
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: broader almost when you say truthing in love.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: And I think that you know with that look.
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: Truth and grace, right, speaking the truth and love, Speaking
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: the truth that's priestly and.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: We don't, you know, that's something we need to invent it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: Truth is so that we pass on and in terms
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: of love, we're not just delivery information. What it is
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: I want to give my heart to a place where
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: I want to seek that person's reconciliation. Yeah, I want,
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: I want, I want people in the purpose of God.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: If the purpose of speaking the truth isn't too lovingly
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: desire reconciliation with them or connection with them, If the
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: purpose of speaking the truth is anything other than that,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: then it just comes off. It may it may have
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: certain value, there may be a degree of help that
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: comes from quote unquote accuracy, but generally speaking, it's going
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: to be harsh and it's not going to be of God.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: But speaking that truth in love, and that means with
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the mindset, the attitude, the composition of how Jesus would
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: do it, then you're pulling for the best for that person,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: even if it's a hard truth to deliver, and so
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: of that. Sometimes the most loving things that can and
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: need to be said are truth that they don't want
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: to hear. But how it said matters so strongly.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: We are just scratching the surface, and we're already out
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: of time, Craig, this goes by too quick, all right,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: So Colossians for and Ephesians for friends, check those out
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: and we'll be back tomorrow. We're going to talk about
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: what it means to love like our high priest kind
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: of piggyback off what we're talking about right here, and
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: we'll just go deeper on that. But Craig gergo, thank
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: you for this time.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: As always, You're welcome. Thank you.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Kevin mccalluch coming right back.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Let's stick around for more of that. Kevin next here
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he is from New York. Ken Kevin McCullough.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, Kevin mccallaugh. Glad have you with us. It's
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: that Kevin show that kevinshow dot com. Thank you for
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: being here. We are very simply trying to give someone
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: something that they desperately desperately need and have no access
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to it. We're talking about something that may be a
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: little unusual for some of you that have never heard
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: of this concept, but Bibles are deeply, deeply needed in
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: places where they don't have access to them. And you
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: may say, keV, come on, everybody's got apps on their
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: phone that have Bibles in them. That's true unless you
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: don't have smartphones. And that's true especially if you don't
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: have cell towers or internet service. And where the Bible
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: League has been going for years is to places where
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: people do not have access to the scriptures electronically, in
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: physical form, in really any form. And that's why that's
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: why they go, and that's that's why these these Bibles
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: make such a huge difference. Michael Woolworth is back with us,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: and Michael, there's lots of sections of the world that
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: we're talking about. In fact, we've got like four main
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: groups of areas, but Africa still has a huge need
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: for Bibles.
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: Well, let me see this, Kevin. Not a place on
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: Earth where Bible League ministers, where we're not connected to
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: the local evangelical church, right, that's the blueprint for growth
• 22:30
  Speaker 10: in the New Testament. Paul did not consider the Gospel
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: to have been preached to his area, to an area
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: until what, you know, the Gospel had been preached, you know,
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: churches were set up and they were beginning to thrive.
• 22:41
  Speaker 10: And so again, why would we deviate from that? But again,
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: you have you have the assurance that this is a
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: safe investment.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: You know that.
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: You know, they don't just put anybody on that Kevin show. Right,
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: We've been properly vetted. But Kevin, you've been to Bible
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: League's headquarters in the Chicago area. You know, we've been
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: on for this our eleventh campaign to get so again,
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: this is a safe investment. As I love to say,
• 23:04
  Speaker 10: you know, this is something we all pray for, right,
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: that the Gospel would take reach in places like Africa.
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: And it turns out, Covin this is where Christianity is
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: growing in the greatest numbers in the world. It's not
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: the US our prayers that that changes, right, but it's
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: places like the continent of Africa. And I do want
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: to take you to Rwanda, Africa, and you know some
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: of the places where Biblely ministers, My goodness, the people
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: have known incredible grief, pain and loss. That is certainly true.
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: Of the country of Rwanda. It's the thirty second anniversary
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: of the Hutu Tutsi conflict, the Rwandan and genocide that
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: happened in nineteen ninety four. About a million people died
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: in the course of about one hundred days. You know,
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: if you've seen the motion picture Hotel Rwanda, you know
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: the chaos and the bloodshed that defined that conflict back
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: again in nineteen ninety four. But my colleague Anton left
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: as Native Netherlands went into Rwandi, said Michael. There's memorial
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: set up everywhere, even thirty two years later. People gather
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: at these memorials and they weep the loss of their
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: loved ones. Anton met a woman by the name of Dally.
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: Her story coven was that she had lost her husband
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: or son in about thirty extended family members to that
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: conflict back in nineteen ninety four. And yet he said,
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: God worked in her heart, has brought her incredible peace
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: and healing, and it came through the words of Jesus
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: on the cross. But this is Anton, and he is
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: in Rwanda, Africa.
• 24:28
  Speaker 11: Ask them, it's about the loss of people in those
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: horrible times. Range from five hundred thousand to one million
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: over the course of just a couple of days. But
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: yet people like Dali have seen it with their own eyes.
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: Her husband and one of her sons were killed, and
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: she just couldn't forgive those who killed her loved ones.
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: True forgiveness only came when she learned about Christ's work
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: at the Cross, about which she was reading in her Bible.
• 24:51
  Speaker 11: So she recalled that Jesus asked his father to forgive
• 24:54
  Speaker 11: those who punished him. And because of Jesus saying those
• 24:57
  Speaker 11: words at the Cross, she is now able to forgive
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: those people.
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know words that we often read around Easter, right,
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: Jesus saying, you know, Father, forgive them. They know not
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: what they do. When Dali was able to open up
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: her own Bible, right, she was able to read the
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: words of Jesus again. And that's the grace, that's the
• 25:14
  Speaker 10: gumption that she found to be able to forgive those
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: that brought incredible grief to her. Kevin, She's gone on
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: in her small village of about three hundred adults, About
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: a third of that village now follows Jesus. Ninety two
• 25:27
  Speaker 10: have said yes to Jesus. They hear the story of Dai.
• 25:29
  Speaker 10: They see her ability not to move on from something
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: so tragic, but to move forward in life. And they say,
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: what we want that Jesus give us that Jesus, and
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: so ninety two new believers in this small village of
• 25:42
  Speaker 10: three hundred associated with the story of Dali in Rwanda, Africa.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: One eight hundred yes word is the number one eight
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: hundred y e s word. The way you give online
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: is this very simple. Go to that kevinshow dot com,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: that kevinshow dot com, click the banner at the top
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: of the page. It is really simple. It only takes
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: a couple of minutes. And just know that for every
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Bible that goes out, Bible League has tracked over the years,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: what they call a miracle multiplier is a It is
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: the statistic that they can comfortably say there's not They're
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: not in any danger of being disproven on this that
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: for every Bible that goes out, roughly twelve people come
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: to faith in Jesus because of that, and that's a
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: conservative estimate. There are areas where there's been a desperation
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: for the Bibles even after the Bibles arrive, Michael, because
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: when they come, it's one thing to get a Bible
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: that you've been hoping for and praying for and waiting for.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Now you've got more people that need Bibles, and so
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: it's a good problem to have, and it's a problem
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: that we want to try to help fill.
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: Well, maybe disheartened, you know, to hear me talk about
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: the other statistic I've shared as many as on nine
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: of ten new believers in many of the regions of
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: Asia and Africa and the Middle East of Latin America
• 26:59
  Speaker 10: are denied. Word that you'll let that sit in your
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: heart for a moment that again, fellow believers half a
• 27:04
  Speaker 10: world away are forced to go without a Bible. But again, Kevin,
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: that miracle multiplier, I think you're the one that coined
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: that phrase for us, right, But again with confidence, we
• 27:12
  Speaker 10: can also say that what twelve people, least twelve people
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: are impacted with every Bible. And as I said earlier,
• 27:18
  Speaker 10: if you can find a better kingdom investment, go chase
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: that today.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: But if you've been praying to be.
• 27:23
  Speaker 10: A blessing to believers somewhere in this world, this great,
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: big world that we live in, let this be it today.
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: We want to do this ultimately for ten thousand waiting
• 27:33
  Speaker 10: believers that we know by name of Bible League. Kevin,
• 27:36
  Speaker 10: It's always a joy to circle back to these waiting believers.
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: Let them know, hey, the Bibles you're praying for, they
• 27:41
  Speaker 10: are as good as there.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: It makes them bring such joy to their heart. One
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: eight hundred yes word one eight hundred yes word. Or
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: that Kevin Show dot com. Click the Bible League banner
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: at the top of the thing.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. Ken Kevin McCullough.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: So, I'm glad to have you with us. Is that
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Kevin Show, That kevinshow dot com. You know, one of
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: the things that I am always harping on from this
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: microphone is the energy crisis that is America's future. And
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: you may think, well, I've got gas in my car,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: and I've got a filling station down the road, and
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: my electric bill is higher this summer, but I'm paying it.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Where's the crisis? Well, do you like paying the prices
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: that you're paying? Currently? We've got an energy crisis, and
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: we've got one developing in a way that I don't
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: think everyone is really cognizant of. We are going to
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: have an increased burden to produce energy than we've ever
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: had before. And if we hope to even come close
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: in the battle for the future, we have to have
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: a lot more. That's where I'm excited to start this
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: conversation with Mark Mukija, who is back with us from
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Egle Nuclear and you can find them on the exchange
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: at n UCL. That's their stock. They've gone public since
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: we last spoke with Mark. But Mark, there's so much
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: that I'm not understating any of this, am I. I mean,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: between data centers, global conflicts like Iran and other things.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Energy is not as abundant as we would like it
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: to be in in usable forms, and I've always argued
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: that nuclear is really the ultimate kind of power play.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: That's why we have it in our aircraft carriers, that's
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: why we have it in our jets. We seem to
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: understand that there's a certain degree of ability to use
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: this energy in a way that is highly efficient and
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: respects the environment. I might add at the same time,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: but tell me what you think in terms of what
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: our outlook is energy wise for the US.
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: Devin, It's great to be back, and yeah, the outlook
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: for energy is that we're going to need a whole
• 30:12
  Speaker 12: heck of a lot more of it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 30:14
  Speaker 12: We just had another record year of electricity consumption, and
• 30:19
  Speaker 12: you nailed it. It's because of things like AI and
• 30:22
  Speaker 12: data centers and cryptocurrency. That's not to mention all these
• 30:26
  Speaker 12: humanoid robots that we're going to see coming into our
• 30:29
  Speaker 12: lives and the near future. So energy demand isn't going anywhere,
• 30:34
  Speaker 12: it's only going to be rising, and with these geopolitical
• 30:37
  Speaker 12: tensions that are happening around the world, it's just going
• 30:39
  Speaker 12: to be.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Harder and harder to get the fuel for that energy.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: And there's a competition to get the fuel for energy.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Talk to me about the global picture. Who is trying
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: to corner what aspects of energy production globally?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, it's your usual suspects.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 30:55
  Speaker 12: You're seeing just an absolutely massive built for energy in China.
• 31:02
  Speaker 12: So they're building a whole heck of a lot more reactors.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: They're not being clean about it. They're burning coal for
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: almost all of those new power plants.
• 31:09
  Speaker 12: Yeah, they are essentially building a new coal plant a week.
• 31:13
  Speaker 12: But they've also smartened up to the fact that there's
• 31:16
  Speaker 12: no power like nuclear energy, and they're building a lot
• 31:20
  Speaker 12: of nuclear power plants as well, and they're starting to
• 31:22
  Speaker 12: build them faster than ever before.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: As well, they're starting to.
• 31:25
  Speaker 12: Realize that the capacity factor from nuclear is higher than
• 31:28
  Speaker 12: everything else.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: So with that build up, they're.
• 31:32
  Speaker 12: Starting to get their eyes on where to get that
• 31:34
  Speaker 12: fuel from. So you're starting to see them make equity
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: investments into uranium companies in Africa and in other parts
• 31:43
  Speaker 12: of the world because they don't produce much uranium themselves,
• 31:46
  Speaker 12: but they realize the power that you can get from
• 31:50
  Speaker 12: these nuclear reactors.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Now they're not the only ones I heard that recently.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: India is looking at trying to corner some markets as well.
• 31:57
  Speaker 12: For sure, India is doing a massive new clear build
• 32:00
  Speaker 12: out as well. They want to get to one hundred
• 32:02
  Speaker 12: gigawatts by twenty fifty and that's the same as we
• 32:06
  Speaker 12: have in the United States right now. Again, China doesn't
• 32:10
  Speaker 12: produce much uranium, but they're starting to sign deals with
• 32:12
  Speaker 12: Canada and with Australia.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Those are sources of.
• 32:17
  Speaker 12: American uranium right now, and when they're going to market
• 32:20
  Speaker 12: and signing these contracts, that means that there's less available
• 32:24
  Speaker 12: in the market for US.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Right Recently, I sent an EE blast to my subscribers
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: and I was telling them about the good work that
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Eagle is doing. But part of what you guys have
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: in terms of a huge advantage is access to actual uranium.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Talk about the store the supply that you guys have
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: access to.
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so we have the largest mineable, measured and indicated
• 32:47
  Speaker 12: uranium deposit in the United States on an unconstrained basis,
• 32:51
  Speaker 12: there's fifty million pounds of uranium there.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: What does that mean? I mean, because it's kind of
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: like gobbledegook, like it's okay, the gazillion bajillion whatevers, But
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: what does that translate to practically?
• 33:02
  Speaker 12: So practically it translates into one year of supply for
• 33:07
  Speaker 12: the United States. There's ninety four reactors in the country.
• 33:11
  Speaker 12: They consume roughly fifty million pounds of uranium per year.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: But in last year, though, the.
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: United States only produced roughly two point one million pounds
• 33:20
  Speaker 12: of uranium, and then twenty twenty four it was only
• 33:22
  Speaker 12: six hundred.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: And seventy seven thousand pounds.
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: When you think of an energy source like nuclear, where
• 33:27
  Speaker 12: you know we're getting eighteen percent of the nation's electricity
• 33:31
  Speaker 12: from nuclear, you know that's from those ninety four reactors.
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: We're not producing very much uranium to power those reactors.
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: And I see that as a great problem a strategic threat.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: To be honest, well, you're not only you not only
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: have access to raw material, but you're also kind of
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: on the cutting edge of what are called SMRs. Talk
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: to us about that piece of the picture.
• 33:57
  Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, And SMRs are the small, all modular reactors,
• 34:01
  Speaker 12: and what we see with them is just an opportunity
• 34:04
  Speaker 12: to address this energy crisis that we're in. You know,
• 34:09
  Speaker 12: you're able to deploy them in remote locations for military outposts,
• 34:15
  Speaker 12: you know, mind sights, places of that nature, and they
• 34:19
  Speaker 12: provide that carbon free electricity where it's maybe harder to
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: get that power in the first place.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: So you're going to see.
• 34:26
  Speaker 12: A lot more SMRs come in the future to handle
• 34:29
  Speaker 12: this incremental power demand that we're seeing.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: And you know, these new.
• 34:34
  Speaker 12: Reactors, these new SMRs are the genfore variety, meaning that
• 34:38
  Speaker 12: they're walk away safe, they can be assembled in a factory,
• 34:42
  Speaker 12: they cost a lot less than building a traditional power plant.
• 34:45
  Speaker 12: So we're going to see a lot more growth in
• 34:48
  Speaker 12: that sector coming as well. And we want to be
• 34:50
  Speaker 12: a part of that where strong believers in nuclear So
• 34:53
  Speaker 12: not only do we have the uranium in the ground,
• 34:56
  Speaker 12: but also proprietary SMR technology as well.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: People want to know more about everything Eagle's doing. Where
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: do you suggest that they go?
• 35:04
  Speaker 12: So I suggest you can check out our website first,
• 35:06
  Speaker 12: so Eagle nuclear dot com can be our social channels
• 35:10
  Speaker 12: on LinkedIn or x And yeah, I think that's a good.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Lisplear dot com on the exchanges that nucl and I
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: really encourage you to take a look at them. A
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: lot of you are going to get a letter from
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: me in your inbox on this. I really like this company,
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: and I want everyone that's listening to take a real
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: serious look at it because I think they're all bering
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: solutions for some of the biggest issues we have facing
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: this Mark Makija, thank you for all that you're doing
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: and come back and see us again.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, Kevin, I appreciate it. You got it.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Kevin McCulloch coming to you from Times Square, all AI
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: powered and everything.
• 35:47
  Speaker 13: Stick around for more than Kevin next serving it up.
• 36:03
  Speaker 13: It's a no drink minimal. It's that Kevin show.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Welcome aboard, Kevin mccallaugh. Glad to have you with us.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: It is an incredible thing that we get to do here.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Michael Woolworth is back with us. Michael, welcome back. It's
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: always good to have you the reason. And I get
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: asked this a lot when we talk about Bible League
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: on the show. Well, Kevin, we live in the twenty
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: first century. Everything is on the computer, everything's on the
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: handheld device. Now, why are people without Bibles? And I
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: think it really does take a second for them to
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: understand that this is something that has not been cured
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: by the expansion of technology yet.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a reasonable question.
• 36:47
  Speaker 10: You know, again, in this age of technology, you know,
• 36:49
  Speaker 10: how is it the Christians, you know, or denied access
• 36:52
  Speaker 10: to God's word? You know, it's corrupt governments, you know,
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: you think about communists China, the government there fiercely opposing
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: the Gospel majority religions in India, for example, where there's
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: anti conversion laws on the books. If you tell somebody
• 37:05
  Speaker 10: what Jesus means to you, they'll throw you in jail. Right, remoteness,
• 37:10
  Speaker 10: you know, people living in the bush of Africa who've
• 37:12
  Speaker 10: never actually answered a cell phone, right, they've never looked
• 37:14
  Speaker 10: at the face of a clock. That's remoteness, isn't it.
• 37:17
  Speaker 10: And then also you know, poverty. If you live on
• 37:19
  Speaker 10: a couple dollars a day, you know, you can't afford
• 37:22
  Speaker 10: a Bible. And so there's some other reasons mixed in there,
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: but the bottom line is God's at work.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Kevin.
• 37:28
  Speaker 10: We talk about why this incredible need, why this increase
• 37:32
  Speaker 10: in the need for Bibles, Well, let me give you
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: some perspective. You think about the year twenty twenty back
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: when we were all learning to navigate the COVID restrictions.
• 37:40
  Speaker 10: Right in that year, Bible reached a Bible League reached
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: about one point a seven million people with the gospel.
• 37:46
  Speaker 10: If you fast forward to last year, the year twenty
• 37:49
  Speaker 10: twenty five, we saw an increase from that first number,
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: a sixty percent increase, two point nine million reach with
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: the Gospel. I mean that alone tells you what God's
• 37:59
  Speaker 10: in work in his world through his word. And you know,
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: I am a little reluctant to always throw out big numbers.
• 38:06
  Speaker 10: You know, over the course of you know, almost nine
• 38:08
  Speaker 10: decades in ministry, we've reached one about eighty million people.
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: But over the course of just a day, Kevin, Bible
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: League all over the world, by the grace have gone
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: and through the gumption of you know, people on the
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: ground with an incredible burden to reach the people around them.
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: We do that to the tune of about five thousand
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: a day. About five hundred are trained every single day
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: to to share Christ with others. And then about every
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: three and a half hours, a church is planning with
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: help of Bible League. And again I'm clear to say,
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: I'm quick to say, we could not do what we
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: do without without you. Know that, Kevin show family being
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: a part of this right, And Kevin, I know you
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: and your family, you and your biological family right have
• 38:49
  Speaker 10: personally supported this and you've asked your listeners without any reservation,
• 38:53
  Speaker 10: over many many years to be a part of this,
• 38:55
  Speaker 10: and all of us at Bible League were so grateful.
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: But again, I think about that joy that come when
• 39:00
  Speaker 10: a person opens the Bible and reads about the God
• 39:03
  Speaker 10: who loves them, but really the joy that also comes
• 39:05
  Speaker 10: from sending that Bible, putting that Bible into empty waiting
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: hands today, Because again I know your listener's, your viewers,
• 39:12
  Speaker 10: say what, I love my Bible. God has used me,
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: He's used his word to grow me into the believer
• 39:17
  Speaker 10: that I am today, and I simply want to give
• 39:19
  Speaker 10: that privilege to others today.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Well, and here's how you do that. You just give
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: a phone call to one eight hundred yes word, one
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: eight hundred yes word. You can also go to that
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Kevinshow dot com click the Bible League banner at the
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: top of the page, and when you click through, just
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: say how many Bibles you would like to provide, and
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: then multiply that times five. That's the cost per bible,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: five dollars per bible, and then that's how many people
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: you'll be giving a Bible too, and then multiply that
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: number by twelve, and that's how many people will come
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: to faith in Jesus on average. Because we know this
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: to be a statistically true data point. Over eighty eight years,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: the Bible League has seen twelve people come to faith
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: for every Bible that they've sent out. So this is
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: just an amazing, amazing thing that we get to be
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: a part of right now. And the way to get
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: them the Word of God is very simple. Friends. Just
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: go to one eight hundred yes word on your phone
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: one eight hundred yes word, one eight hundred y ees word,
• 40:21

• 41:11

  Speaker 2: It's Kevin McCullough Monday through.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: Friday on That Kevin Show and now from the Connors
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: in Sullivan Broadcast Studios. The man who is not what
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: he wants to be, that is way grateful, that is
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: not who he used to be.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Here, Welcome back, Kevin mcpella, godead you with us. It's
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: that Kevin show, and every single week we will try
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: to keep our pulse on a lot of different areas
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: of public policy and what's going on. But it seems
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: like the front page is occupied by one primary overwriting
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: issue these days, and that is what exactly is going
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: on with Iran? What exactly is America's role and where
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: do we go from here? Andrew Harding is joining us
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: from the Heritage Foundation, one of my favorite organizations. And Andrew,
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: you know, for all of the memorandums of understanding, for
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: all of the ceasefires, for all of the embargoes, and
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: then embargo's being lifted, it seems like the the IRGC
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: has decided that it's not going to learn a lesson
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: or many of it, and it's going to push America
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: to be more aggressive and more hostile than we want
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: to be. Where do we go from here? What's the
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: plan at this point?
• 43:10
  Speaker 15: Well, thanks for having me, Kevin. I think you're right.
• 43:12
  Speaker 16: The IRGC is completely messed up with the strader from
• 43:16
  Speaker 16: Moose in the sense that it continues to fire missiles
• 43:18
  Speaker 16: at vessels, and the President's made very clear these actions
• 43:21
  Speaker 16: are unacceptable. His preference has always been diplomacy. But of
• 43:24
  Speaker 16: course if Iran's not going to negotiat in good faith.
• 43:27
  Speaker 16: He is correctly made clear, and it's made sure the
• 43:29
  Speaker 16: US is the right posture to respond militarily if necessary,
• 43:32
  Speaker 16: to impose costs on Iran and to show that it
• 43:35
  Speaker 16: is more costly for Iran when they take these strikes
• 43:38
  Speaker 16: rather than it makes sense of their interest to work
• 43:40
  Speaker 16: with the United States and find a deal. So where
• 43:42
  Speaker 16: we go from here is, first, we're going to see
• 43:43
  Speaker 16: continueduous military strikes. We've seen that over the past three
• 43:47
  Speaker 16: plus days at this point, because the president's indicating he's
• 43:50
  Speaker 16: no longer just going to focus.
• 43:51
  Speaker 15: On retaliation, but he's escalating.
• 43:53
  Speaker 16: He's making sure that costs are being felt to bring
• 43:55
  Speaker 16: Iran to the table. But secondly, I then expect on
• 43:58
  Speaker 16: the economic front, will continue to see the United States
• 44:00
  Speaker 16: have this blockade now come back in place, and see
• 44:03
  Speaker 16: the oil sanctions or the general waiver on sanctions be
• 44:06
  Speaker 16: withheld and no longer be put in place because Iran
• 44:09
  Speaker 16: once again is not following the MLU. And finally we'll
• 44:12
  Speaker 16: see if this transits into diplomacy. The President, of course
• 44:15
  Speaker 16: wants this to be the preferred path. He's consistently wanted this,
• 44:18
  Speaker 16: but until Iran shows it'll come to the table, we'll
• 44:20
  Speaker 16: see the military and economic components of Operation Epic Theory return.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: They are daring us to injure the civilians of Iran,
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: which we have no interest in doing. And yet these
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: guys couldn't care less if they all die.
• 44:34
  Speaker 16: You're right, the IERGC is exactly the point you're making here.
• 44:38
  Speaker 16: They're willing to sacrifice the security, the interest the people
• 44:41
  Speaker 16: of Iran in order to continue trying to maintain leverage
• 44:45
  Speaker 16: in the strato fermose or really just try to complicate
• 44:48
  Speaker 16: what the United States is doing. That's unacceptable, and I
• 44:50
  Speaker 16: think the President's made very clear that these types of
• 44:52
  Speaker 16: behaviors will not go unpunished. And that's why we're seeing
• 44:55
  Speaker 16: this change in which the President, on one hand, he's
• 44:57
  Speaker 16: being consistent, Like you mentioned that he wants plomacy. He's
• 45:00
  Speaker 16: made clear from the start, all the way back in
• 45:02
  Speaker 16: February and even earlier that he prefers to negotiate his
• 45:05
  Speaker 16: way through this, and he showed if Urn will come
• 45:07
  Speaker 16: to the table, he will negotiate in good faith.
• 45:10
  Speaker 15: That doesn't mean it's easy, doesn't mean it'll be done
• 45:12
  Speaker 15: within two months even but he will negotiate he will.
• 45:14
  Speaker 16: Try to find a deal, but Irana shows the IERGC
• 45:17
  Speaker 16: that they're going to try to maintain a leverage of
• 45:19
  Speaker 16: the Strader for Moose. They'll try to keep it a
• 45:21
  Speaker 16: threat fire missile. They don't have to win it conventionally,
• 45:23
  Speaker 16: of course, the US Navy can easily maintain that fight,
• 45:26
  Speaker 16: but rather what the IERGYC will do is just fire
• 45:28
  Speaker 16: a couple of missiles to scare off vessels from transitting
• 45:31
  Speaker 16: through the strait.
• 45:32
  Speaker 15: That alone gets it some leverage.
• 45:34
  Speaker 16: So the President's making clear that is unacceptable and will
• 45:37
  Speaker 16: impose costs, and you're right, he doesn't want to bring
• 45:39
  Speaker 16: these costs to the Irritian people. The focus here is
• 45:41
  Speaker 16: on the regime that continues to engage in terroristic motives,
• 45:44
  Speaker 16: seeks to have still have an interest in a nuclear weapon,
• 45:46
  Speaker 16: and wants to hold the Strader for Moose hostage. Those
• 45:48
  Speaker 16: are unacceptable visions that the President is pushing back against.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: One of the most complicated scenarios I think we've ever
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: engaged in. We've noted where the missiles have come from,
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: and we've taken out a number of launch points. It's
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: where they have shot the missiles from. Do they still
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: have a variety of places that they can do that from.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: How many more of those do we have to take
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: out before we've eliminated their capacity to harass the Strait
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: in any way.
• 46:15
  Speaker 15: Part of the challenge can be with geography in which
• 46:17
  Speaker 15: the IERGC, of course, and we are hitting these sites
• 46:20
  Speaker 15: in which they do have stationary different missile sites where
• 46:23
  Speaker 15: they can launch these missiles, but they also have different
• 46:26
  Speaker 15: mobile sites.
• 46:27
  Speaker 16: And this is something the IRGC recognizing that they won't
• 46:30
  Speaker 16: be able to beat the United States in a pure
• 46:31
  Speaker 16: conventional force versus force fight here.
• 46:34
  Speaker 15: Rather they have to employ different types of tactics.
• 46:37
  Speaker 16: So that includes using the mountainous terrain, being able to
• 46:40
  Speaker 16: put missiles into different holes into mountains, to maneuver different
• 46:43
  Speaker 16: launch pads around in order to try to keep the
• 46:46
  Speaker 16: fight going.
• 46:47
  Speaker 15: And that's the problem.
• 46:47
  Speaker 16: Which the US is doing an excellent job in degrading
• 46:50
  Speaker 16: Iron's ability to fight.
• 46:52
  Speaker 15: That is true.
• 46:53
  Speaker 16: But as long as the IRGC can fire a missile
• 46:55
  Speaker 16: or two once a day, twice a day, you name it,
• 46:58
  Speaker 16: onto these vessels, that all loan is going to cause
• 47:01
  Speaker 16: different I've understannably private companies that don't want to risk
• 47:03
  Speaker 16: losing their ships or their product from having these transits,
• 47:06
  Speaker 16: So that is the challenge here. So I think the
• 47:08
  Speaker 16: President is doing everything he can to impost costs across
• 47:11
  Speaker 16: the country to grade the iergies's ability to fight, to communicate,
• 47:15
  Speaker 16: to control and continue its operations, ultimately putting enough pressure
• 47:19
  Speaker 16: to word the regime is forced to come to the
• 47:21
  Speaker 16: table and comply, otherwise the cost will only continue to
• 47:24
  Speaker 16: ramp up.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that's always been his key, right is
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: negotiation in one hand and constant pressure on the other,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: kind of maximize pressure. That's what we did previously, and
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: it seems to be something that they really don't like.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: But I just again, when someone's willing to sacrifice their
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: own life, it seems to me like they're almost impossible
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: to negotiate with. And as far as I can tell,
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: every one of these IERGC good herding monsters, is fine
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: just sacrificing their own life for the greater cause.
• 47:56
  Speaker 15: You're right, it is very complicated. This also goes into
• 47:58
  Speaker 15: how there's different.
• 47:59
  Speaker 16: Factions than the regime to where you have those that
• 48:01
  Speaker 16: are more willing to negotiate a little more realistic, as
• 48:04
  Speaker 16: the President's made clear, those that are a little more
• 48:06
  Speaker 16: public facing.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: People we don't want to die.
• 48:09
  Speaker 15: Well, there are some that are more.
• 48:11
  Speaker 16: They have to face the public more, they have some
• 48:12
  Speaker 16: political process that forces them to be a little more reasonable.
• 48:16
  Speaker 16: That doesn't mean it's going to be easy. And again
• 48:17
  Speaker 16: that's part of the negotiation. It's the point you made
• 48:19
  Speaker 16: at the start. This is the start of an MoU.
• 48:21
  Speaker 16: We have different things going back and forth, what the
• 48:24
  Speaker 16: status is, what's the deal is, But the MoU is
• 48:26
  Speaker 16: a starting point that those that are willing to.
• 48:28
  Speaker 15: Negotiate began with. The IERGC doesn't have that interest.
• 48:31
  Speaker 16: They're not constrained as much by the economy, by the
• 48:33
  Speaker 16: public will. They're able to consolidate resources and fight. They're
• 48:36
  Speaker 16: a little more isolated from some of these costs since
• 48:38
  Speaker 16: the president is speaking their language more right now, he's
• 48:41
  Speaker 16: focused on the military component, force them to understand that
• 48:44
  Speaker 16: they cannot fight, they cannot win, and ultimately give some
• 48:47
  Speaker 16: of that leverage to the diplomats who are willing to
• 48:49
  Speaker 16: negotiate more and see there's a deal. But finally, just
• 48:52
  Speaker 16: because there's a negotiation doesn't mean there may be a deal.
• 48:54
  Speaker 16: The President's made clear he's not going to pursue a
• 48:56
  Speaker 16: bad deal. He only wants a good deal that protects a.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: May games they've played over and over through the for
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: the last forty seven years. And this is where I
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: think when you say things like this is the beginning
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: and the beginning of a memoir of understanding, that worries me.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Like at this point, I'm kind of like Churchill, unconditional surrender.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: You guys are done. You don't get any more power
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: at all. You got to turn it all over to
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: the civilians, and what happens happens. Otherwise we take out
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: every single IRGC person that we know, something's got to happen.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Because the way they want to dangle and then pull
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: it back and then dangle and pull it back again,
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: it's not something that ultimately every time they have a
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: little bit of hope, they start to behave badly, which
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: is all the sign we need to really prove to
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: ourselves that they're not going to enter this with a
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: good conscience.
• 49:47
  Speaker 16: I absolutely share your frustration as certainly seeing how this
• 49:50
  Speaker 16: conflict continues that the ira audience on one hand will
• 49:52
  Speaker 16: be willing to meet and cutter, or be willing to
• 49:55
  Speaker 16: meet in Pakistan and cutter in Switzerland, but then on
• 49:57
  Speaker 16: the next day and they're willing to fire missiles across
• 50:00
  Speaker 16: It is frustrating.
• 50:01
  Speaker 15: I think the President is sharing this frustration to wear.
• 50:03
  Speaker 15: On one hand, he clearly.
• 50:05
  Speaker 16: Felt over the past few weeks that there was a
• 50:07
  Speaker 16: sense there could be diplomacy. Initially, for the first week
• 50:10
  Speaker 16: or two, there was some steady, slow but steady progress
• 50:13
  Speaker 16: on the MoU and then all of a sudden, the
• 50:15
  Speaker 16: IRONEC starts ranking up these attacks and the President is
• 50:17
  Speaker 16: so frustrated to the point he's calling them lunatics. He's
• 50:20
  Speaker 16: saying that they're sick people. So I think the President
• 50:22
  Speaker 16: shared this frustration. He wants a deal, but clearly his
• 50:25
  Speaker 16: piecers thinks approach means if there's not a deal to
• 50:28
  Speaker 16: be made, he's going to use American military might to
• 50:30
  Speaker 16: protect the American people in our prosperity.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: That's what we got to do, all right. Andrew Harding,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: appreciate all that you're doing with heritage. Thank you for
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: being with.
• 50:36
  Speaker 15: Us, Thanks for having me.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: You got it. Kevin mckella coming back from New York.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Don't go away.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. That Tim Kevin, Kevin.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Mccaulla, welcome back, Calvin mccaullaugh, Glad to have you with us.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: It is always a great time of the week when
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: I kind of set aside some of the other headlines
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: and we focus in on things that are really designed
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: to try to help keep you healthy, to keep you well,
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: to do the things that help you live a healthier life.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: It's one of the reasons why I have so many
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: different doctors and fitness experts and nutritionists and those types
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: of things in this portion of the week to do that.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: But there's also a huge what I would consider barrier
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: to feeling positive about one's health, and that is the
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: cost of what it requires for one to remain healthy,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: to stay healthy. What does the ever changing landscape of
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: healthcare and health insurance look like. Well, I am very
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: very honored to welcome Vic Pritchett to Victor Pritchett to
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: the broadcast, not just because he knows a lot about
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: this entire area, but he's also a brand new sponsor
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: with DFW Direct Insurance. And if you've heard my commercials,
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: you've heard me say repeatedly he helped us save as
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: a family nearly four hundred dollars a month, which if
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: you multiply that over the course of a year, you're
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: talking about just under five thousand dollars a year in
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: health insurance for a family of five. That's a significant
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: savings in my book, and we're going to tell you
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: more about that coming up. But Vick, it's good to
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: have you. Thanks for being here. Thanks man. How long
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: have you worked with health insurance and was it considerably
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: different when you started than it is today. Yeah.
• 52:49
  Speaker 14: I actually jumped into the market right before the Affordable
• 52:52
  Speaker 14: Care Act passed in two thousand and nine, So over
• 52:55
  Speaker 14: the past seventeen years, I've kind of been able to
• 52:57
  Speaker 14: see the health insurance landscape before, during, and after the
• 53:01
  Speaker 14: Affordable Care Act, and there are some great things that happened,
• 53:04
  Speaker 14: but also some unintended consequences of the Affordable Care Act
• 53:07
  Speaker 14: that are a big burden to American families all across
• 53:11
  Speaker 14: the United States.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that they were necessarily unintended,
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: because some people like me were screaming our heads off
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: about them as it was beginning to be passed. But
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: there have been, I would say, some small silver linings
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: that have emerged. So maybe I was a little bit
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: biased in how I reported on it too as well,
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: But what was fundamentally the biggest difference you saw when
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: government put its hand kind of into the health insurance
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: mechanism and said, now we're going to play a role
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: in this.
• 53:42
  Speaker 14: Yeah, prior to the ACA passing, it was a free
• 53:46
  Speaker 14: market system, right, and so those systems.
• 53:48
  Speaker 9: Kind of are self regulating.
• 53:49
  Speaker 14: And so as soon as the government came in, the
• 53:52
  Speaker 14: biggest challenge was they prevented carriers from being able to
• 53:56
  Speaker 14: medically underwrite applicants.
• 53:58
  Speaker 9: And so what happened then, saw this happen in.
• 54:00
  Speaker 14: Massachusetts when in a failed attempt several years ago to
• 54:04
  Speaker 14: do the same type of thing, is that all the
• 54:08
  Speaker 14: unhealthy people jumped on the ACA or Obamacare offerings, which
• 54:12
  Speaker 14: in turn costs the carriers to have massive losses the
• 54:15
  Speaker 14: first few years. And you've asked forward, you know, fifteen
• 54:18
  Speaker 14: years now, the rates are about triple what they were
• 54:21
  Speaker 14: to asure a perfectly healthy family. And so what we've
• 54:24
  Speaker 14: done is we still have some good old fashioned, non
• 54:27
  Speaker 14: ACA medically underwritten options that a person would never see
• 54:31
  Speaker 14: on any public facing website to try to combat that
• 54:34
  Speaker 14: trend of these premium double legit increases every year.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and I want to kind of break down
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: you use some kind of code language there when you're
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: talking about medically underwritten. You're talking about people that had lived,
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: you know, more or less unhealthy lives, and then they
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: have consequences as a result of some of the choices
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: that they make. For instance, if you've smoked heavily over
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: the number of years, you know that that's not really
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: good for you, but there's going to be things that
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: develop out of that that then medically, you come to
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: a doctor and a care provider and you're saying, I
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: need care for this after you've done all this damage
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: to your health. Whereas I'm not saying this in a vacuum. Whereas,
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: you may have someone that's the same age, maybe similar,
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: even underlying biological circumstances, maybe they come from the same parents,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: have the same DNA, but one's a heavy smoker, one's not.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: One eats high calorie food and doesn't exercise, the other
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: eats lots of vegetables and walks every day. And yet
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: the burden eventually rotates over to the healthy person to
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: pay for an essence, all of the bad outcomes of
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: health decisions made that are not in the best interest
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: of the person. And I'm not Look, I don't want
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: government to come in and tell a smoker that they
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: can't smoke. I don't want government to come in and
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: tell someone you can't eat fatty foods or drink your
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: wine or whatever else. But I do think that on
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: some level, if you're going to keep a free market
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: concept in the payment of healthcare that you've got to get,
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: you've got to reward good behavior, and you've got to
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: put some incentives against some of the stuff that causes
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: greater damage, if nothing else, to just protect the to
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: have the resources to be able to pay for that
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: from the provider themselves.
• 56:21
  Speaker 14: Absolutely, the initial goal, Kevin, was equal access to quality
• 56:26
  Speaker 14: healthcare for all Americans. While that may be true, exactly
• 56:29
  Speaker 14: what you said happen is now healthy people are subsidizing
• 56:32
  Speaker 14: unhealthy people because they're paying the same high premium right
• 56:37
  Speaker 14: because carriers can no longer check to make sure someone's.
• 56:40
  Speaker 9: Relatively healthy before issuing coverage.
• 56:43
  Speaker 14: That may be true of plans that you would see
• 56:44
  Speaker 14: on healthcare dot gov or any state based exchange, but
• 56:48
  Speaker 14: my company, we work at about twenty other top rated
• 56:51
  Speaker 14: carriers that can still legally medically underwrite applicants, and so
• 56:55
  Speaker 14: therefore healthy people that lead a healthy lifestyle or greatly
• 57:00
  Speaker 14: rewarded like your family for.
• 57:01
  Speaker 9: Being in good health.
• 57:02
  Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, and so it did kind of a common
• 57:05
  Speaker 14: sense approach that existed way before the Affordable Care Act
• 57:08
  Speaker 14: came along.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: Well, and I'm not gonna I'm not going to tell
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: anybody what type of insurance to have or what type
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: of care you should have, but what I analyze things
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: from kind of the thirty five thousand foot perspective and say,
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: A plus B is an equaling C here, and we
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: need to fix that in some way. And I will
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: tell you, friends, as as you're listening, VIC and DFW
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Direct Insurance does have those twenty three companies that you
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: don't find on healthcare dot gov, and you're going to
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: be very pleasantly surprised when you call. And Vic's given
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: me permission to give you his cell number, so you
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: can like call him direct, like even after he gets
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: off the air with me right now, you can call
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: him right now eight one seven four four nine five
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: five five seven eight one seven four four nine five
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: five five seven. They are licensed in all fifty states
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: to help you find solutions and they will do their
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: very best and just very pleased with our own experience there.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Pick I want to talk about as as Afa came
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: of age, there was there were some changes to it.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: I think some people get confused by this, the mandate
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: for people to for the government to fund it and
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: for us to pay into this. That we got the
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: mandate taken off, so like we don't that that's not
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: part of it anymore. But how do they how do
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: they continue to fund AFA? Like where where does it
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: come from?
• 58:33
  Speaker 14: Yeah, just like we talked about earlier, you know, the
• 58:35
  Speaker 14: burden is primarily on the consumer in the forum of
• 58:39
  Speaker 14: higher premiums, higher deductibles, hire max out of pocket every year.
• 58:43
  Speaker 14: The average ACA plan now used to have, you know,
• 58:47
  Speaker 14: six thousand dollars max out of pocket. Now it's close
• 58:49
  Speaker 14: to eleven thousand dollars for the upcoming twenty twenty seven
• 58:53
  Speaker 14: plan years. So that really the consumer is the one
• 58:56
  Speaker 14: bearing that burden. Unfortunately, the entrance companies still have to
• 58:59
  Speaker 14: be profitable. The other product, Kevin was the narrowing of networks,
• 59:03
  Speaker 14: and a lot of people are frustrated with having to
• 59:06
  Speaker 14: go to only one primary care doctor.
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: You can keep him.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: We were told that fifty thousand times exactly.
• 59:13
  Speaker 14: So now you know, companies require a lot of plans
• 59:16
  Speaker 14: require referrals to see a specialist, and you might have
• 59:18
  Speaker 14: to wait a month or two to get into the
• 59:20
  Speaker 14: person that you really like to see that's a qualified
• 59:23
  Speaker 14: healthcare practitioners. So, you know, these are all things that
• 59:27
  Speaker 14: just are burdens on the in the end of the consumer.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Now there are there still situations where if it's out
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: of network, you just can't use that doctor at all.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: Does that yeah, always still exist.
• 59:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 59:39
  Speaker 14: One state, the state that we were founded in Texas
• 59:42
  Speaker 14: about fifteen years ago, they don't have any PPO options.
• 59:47
  Speaker 14: So the only options are the networks that only pay
• 59:51
  Speaker 14: benefits to network providers. And you've in a lot of
• 59:54
  Speaker 14: zip codes, you may only have three or four carriers.
• 59:56
  Speaker 14: Some zip codes as few as two insurance carriers offered
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 14: qualified health plans. So for those people that either are
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 14: unhealthy or unable to qualify for something outside healthcare dot gov.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 14: You know, so it gets get very expensive and very
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 14: tough to find doctors that will actually take those plans.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're speaking with Vic Pritchard of DFW Direct Insurance
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: and you can go online to Dfwdirect Insurance dot com,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: or you can call his cell number, which he's given
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: me permission to give you eight one seven four four
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: nine five five five seven. When we come back, Vic,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: I want to ask a little bit about how the
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: uh because once AFA got into place, then you had
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: some of these alternatives and things that were kind of
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: insurance and kind of not insurance, and maybe you can
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: explain to us a little bit about how these things work.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: I also want to make mention of this. VIC is
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: not employed by any of the programs that he that
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: he services. He is a true agency looking to help
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: you find the best solution. He's not he's not owned
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: by anybody. He can truly scan the market and help
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: you find the best solution for you, for your family,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: what fits you best. And that's just another reason why
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: I think it's so cool that we get to have
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: this incredible partnership. Eight one seven four four nine five
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: five five seven is his number. Eight one seven, four
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: four nine fifty five fifty seven. Coming right back, it's
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: Kevin mccallaught.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 13: Important stick around for more that Kevin next.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. Exact Kevin Yevan McCullough.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: Alcome back Kevin mckellough on Wednesdays. You know, we'd love
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: to take a look at ways to stay healthy, ways
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: to keep your wellness levels, engaged in high and all
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: the good stuff. That's why I have surgeons to you know,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: yoga instructors on this part of the show and everything
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: in between, because I want you to live a healthy
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: life in this life I want you to have I
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: want you to be a good steward of the life
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: that God gives you. And I think one of the
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: most important ways of being a good steward is being
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: responsible with your health and then being responsible with your
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: finances about your health. So we all know finances kind
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: of impact our ability to do almost everything. So on
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: that level, I am very, very thankful for Vic Pritchard
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: and the incredible people at DFW Direct Insurance because a
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: number of weeks ago I was Vic. I'll just tell
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: you the straight up story after AFA was passed, and
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: I remember they had the huge signing Sarah Mony and
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden. You know, he leans into Obama before he
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: signs the expression and goes, this is a big fing deal,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: and he says it in his ear, but it gets
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: picked up by the microphone and some of us thought, oh,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: if you only knew, but we didn't. Those of us
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: that were kind of crying in the wilderness were more
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: or less ignored because it was such. The campaign had
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: been successful. Obama hadaigned, had campaigned on We're going to
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: get everybody covered and it doesn't matter your condition, We're
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: going to get coverage for everybody, and healthcare is going
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: to become more affordable. The exact opposite has happened. And
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: so as a result of AFA, you had not just
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: insurance because you could you could sign up for health
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: dot gov policies. But if another insurance carrier covered the
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: same things that the AFA plan did, you could you
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: could sign up with them kind of in the private market,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: or you could go to these things called sharing programs.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: And I think there may have been one or two
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: other options. But was the entrepreneurialship of what the crisis
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: that AFA caused. Was that good for the insurance market?
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: How would you measure like the popping up of these
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: alternatives and what that did to the marketplace?
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 14: Yes, people Kevin were desperately searching for anything that was
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 14: halfway affordable with networks of doctors they could actually use.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 14: There was a variety of different types of plans created,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 14: group association plans, you know, individual medically underwritten plans for
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 14: healthier people or the healthcare sharing ministries. The health care
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 14: sharing ministries, they can kind of sis they're not by
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 14: definition health insurance. They don't have to be governed by
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 14: any state department of insurance, so they can kind of
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 14: make up some of their rules. Generally, those plans don't
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 14: really pay any claims until a person reaches their annual
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 14: household sharing portions. So for healthy families, they're really not
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 14: a very good value because they're not paying for every.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 9: Doctor visit or check up.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 14: And so we've worked with all those plans over the
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 14: years and it's really evolved into something that rewards people
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 14: that are in reasonably good health, not perfect health, where
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 14: they can go out and shop the private market off
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 14: of the healthcare exchanges and not be burdened by the
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 14: high cost and high deductibles.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: Well, and I will just say our own experience was
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: I was excited to join one of the healthcare sharing
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: ministries because initially the cost was lower for a family
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: of my size, But then I had a gallbladder that
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: had to be removed, and I had some other things
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: that needed attention, and when it came down to it,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: the amount that they paid versus what it cost was
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: just not anywhere close to being what a normal you know,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: insurance payment plan or payment program would have been. And
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: so we began kind of having doubts about the validity
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: of that for us as a family personally. And then
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: came the annual increases. So we started out at a
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: certain amount, and then within a few years, we were
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: paying almost double that, you know for our coverage each year.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: And it was like one of those things where I'm like,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: surely it has changed that much. Surely it's not two
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: hundred percent more expensive to keep a healthy family healthy
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: than it was when we started. That's what it felt
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: like to us.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 14: Yeah, And you know, there are some plans that evolve
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 14: that have had some reasonable limits. So we got plans
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 14: that have unlimited coverages. We have plans that have limited coverage,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 14: but for a healthy family, you know, do you have
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 14: water need to pay for maternity care or do you
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 14: want to do you want to have a plan that
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 14: covers a five thousand dollars per month expensive recently patented
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 14: biologic drug. And so you know, these plans, Kevin, are
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 14: not available for the general public. By and large, you
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 14: would never see any of these alternatives on the main
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 14: websites like Healthcare dot governy state based exchange.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 9: So yeah, we are a free resource.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: This is why you're you're such an invaluable thing for people,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: because I want them to know that you really are
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: going to give them options that they haven't seen anywhere else. Again,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: he's given me permission to do this. But this is
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: Vic's cell phone, and I want you to call him
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: personally if you're interested in what we're talking about eight
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: one seven, four four nine, five five five seven. And
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: again they're they're able in all fifty states to help people,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: so I want you to be able to have confidence
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: on that. Eight one seven, four four nine, five five
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: five seven. And you can also go online at DFW
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: direct Insurance dot Com and see some of the options
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: for yourself there. But I would recommend talking to Vic
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: because that's what we did and that's how our partnership
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: got based, and I think you're going to enjoy talking
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: to him. Eight one seven, four four nine, five five
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: five seven.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 14: And then we'd really try, Kevin to listen to our clients'
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 14: needs and custom create a health plan with the benefits
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 14: that they want or need without paying for again, benefits.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 9: They would never use.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 14: Most people don't know that they every plan with every
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 14: carrier and every state is month to month. People are
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 14: not trapped in a high cost plan for a year
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 14: at a time. So we really enjoy you know, taking
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 14: each family, each individual, each small business, case by case.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 9: And it's not a one size fits all.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 14: But there are ways to substantially try I'm off monthly
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 14: premium without adversely affecting benefits.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: Well, actually, and I've said this in the commercials if
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: people have been listening, you actually helped us find a
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: plan that covered more than what our sharing ministry did
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: and for nearly four hundred dollars a month in savings.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: And so in terms of that for a family of
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: five for us, that's a life saver. Five thousand dollars
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: over the course of a year. That's you know, several
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: tanks of gas, that may be a mini vacation for
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: the family to be able to get away for a
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: few days. There's just a lot of benefits that come
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: with that. And I'm just deeply grateful. Again, if you
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: want to be in contact with Vic, it's a one
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: seven four four five seven coming right back.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 7: Here.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: He is from New York. That heaven Kevin McCulla.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back. Look, I know I'm kind of
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: a moron at times. I know it's not a FA
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: I know it's the ACA Affordable Care Act. But for
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: those of you that got wound up because I got
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: my letters mixed up, please just take my apology. Please
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: forgive me. I need forgiveness. Vig Pritchard is my guest.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: He is the curator and founder of DFW Direct Insurance,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: which is a multi optional service company that really helps
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: you find custom to what your needs are. Vic I
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: want to talk about some of the other healthcare reforms
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: and how they have in fact impacted this pricing crisis.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: You've heard the administration talk about unit costs being made universal,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: universal costs for things like MRIs or X rays or
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: outpatient procedures, and I kid you not. We had someone
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: on from a hospital a few months ago and they
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: said that if you came and you had a certain
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: doctor at the hospital, schedule the MRI, do the MRI,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: and build the MRI, it would be a different price
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: than someone else in another portion of the same hospital
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: that diagnosed, prescribed, and build. And I'm like, how would
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: I even know that one's more expensive than the other
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: and they're in the same hospital. Have inconsistencies like that
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: contributed to what are obviously these rising premiums every year
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: by the companies that are charging.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 14: Us, Absolutely, Kevin, So yeah, you have the of course,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 14: the network game is what I call it where the
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 14: average person out there may not know whether in an
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 14: emergency room or a hospital, or an imaging center, or
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 14: a doctor group or anti caesiology group is either in
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 14: their plan network or out of the network. And especially
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 14: in medical emergencies, you're just going to run to the
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 14: nearest er. I had a client last week. It went
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 14: to and out of network scan and a CT scan
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 14: was built through three hundred dollars, but a fair market
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 14: price is about six hundred bucks.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 9: And so that's where it really.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: Pays to hold on a second stop the train. That
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: is a significant difference. And I'm thinking if you're like
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: a family that lives on a budget and your breadwinner
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: is the one that needs that that scan done, that
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: can make or break you for a couple of months
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: as a family.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 14: Absolutely, So, knowing ahead of time you know what hospital
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 14: would be a network, Knowing ahead of time that you
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 14: have you know qualified agent to call to ask questions
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 14: and you don't have to call an insurance company and
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 14: be on a hold for fifteen minutes.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 9: To get transferred around.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 14: Has been a real blessing for us to be able
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 14: to help people to navigate, because again, it's very confusing
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 14: a lot of price disparity, and really, unless you're in
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 14: the business every day like we are, most people would
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 14: have a hard time getting the very best value for
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 14: their healthcare.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: Another area of concern that a lot of people ask
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: about is drug pricing, and we've I've seen both the
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: Bush administration and the Trump administration try to make progress
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: on how to get the cost of medications more affordable.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: But have those efforts been successful. Do insurance plans reflect that,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: what's your best solution for people that are saying, Hey,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: I'm getting older, I've got more medications I've ever had before,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: and I really do need to find a solution for this.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 14: Yeah, the main wins have been for Medicare beneficiaries that
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 14: are sixty five or older that are on government Medicare.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 14: A couple of years ago, they finally put a max
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 14: out of pocket on the Part D prescription drin plans
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 14: at two thousand dollars a year for seniors, which was
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 14: great news for people that are were spending six or.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 9: Eight thousand out of their own pocket.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 14: But the people really suffering are in the under sixty
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 14: five market, particularly people that do not get employer from
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 14: an insurance company, so from a group insurance, so self
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 14: employed people, entrepreneurs, people that you just have to provide
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 14: their insurance. And that's where we can help them with
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 14: mail order options, help them discover different ways to save
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 14: money on things that otherwise would be just out of
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 14: the budget completely.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: How do some of those options work just practically speaking.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 14: One of my favorite tricks so far has been to
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 14: look at Canadian based mail order pharmacy because in Canada
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 14: they don't have the same pattern protections that they do
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 14: in the US, and so there'll be many cases where
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 14: they will be a low cost generic alternative available.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 9: Now, you know, don't get me wrong that you can't do.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 14: This with controlled substances or refrigerated you know, insulin or
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 14: things like that. But for the vast majority of you know,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 14: expensive drugs in the US, if you look hard enough,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 14: you can generally find something that you can order and
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 14: you know, takes ten days to get to your home.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 14: But it may say you eighty percent off the cost
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 14: of that. And another thing is just asking your doctor
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 14: for alternative drugs. Some drugs have a combination of two
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 14: ingredients and they're very expensive.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 9: Where the doctor could prescribe to so or pills.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: I know that the issue of compound pharmacies is becoming
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: actually a little bit of a of an issue with
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: UH the Health and Human Services Division. They want to
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: they want to make pharmacies more accessible to people every day,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: and so sometimes compound pharmacies that you know may add
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: vitamin supplements or some other things to those those drugs
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: have a benefit. Do do major health plans? Do the
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: health plans you offer do they work in combination with
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: all forms of pharmacy.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 14: Generally speaking, both the ACA and the non AC options
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 14: do not cover unfortunately, compounded drugs at this point, I
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 14: know there's been a push to expand coverage to that.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 14: So unless it's send a captabloader, cablet, tablet or capitalot,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 14: you know, chances are it's can be very difficult to
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 14: get any type of you know, true insurance coverage for
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 14: any compoundent and medications.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: But it's something that that they can work on because
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: I think that that will help people as well. What
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: about vision and dental? My wife always he's always asking
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: what about vision and dental? A lot of people want
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: to see that as part of the overall picture for
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: what they need.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 14: Yeah, so most vision and dental items are not included
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 14: in a typical health plan, but we have a wide
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 14: array of fifteen or so carriers, and a person could say, hey,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 14: I want vision and not dental for my family, or
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 14: I want both or just idental only, and so all
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 14: these plans cover the basic stuff like checkups and the
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 14: big stuff like root canals. Of course I exammed glasses contacts.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 14: But there's a wide pricing disparity and some big network
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 14: differences between these various dental and vision plans. So it
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 14: pays to have an experienced agent to help you to
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 14: make sure you end up with the right plan to
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 14: work for your provider.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the key I think here, folks, is that
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: you really you have to talk to VIC and as
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: people so that they can help craft exactly what you
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: need for exactly the best option for exactly the best price.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: And uh, Vic Pritchard, I appreciate all that you're doing.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: I hope that you help a lot of my listeners.
• 1:16:05

• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: and I do consider them good friends. We are doing
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: all that we can to put the copy of God's
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: Word into the hands of those who desperately want it
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: but cannot get it. And we get to answer that
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: prayer today. Basically, we get to be an answer to prayer.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: And the truth is, Michael, there are people praying to
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: receive a copy of Scripture all over the world. Right now.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 10: You know of some well, you know all of these
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 10: people that we've talked about in our time together, Kevin,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 10: the spots that you hear from time to time on
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 10: this station, right these are people that have come to
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 10: saving faith without a doubt. Their hearts are full, they're
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 10: members of our spiritual family, but their hands are empty.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 10: They're waiting to be filled. And let me mention three
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 10: of those praying for Bibles right now. Rohan is a
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 10: Hindu in the country of India. When he became a believer,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 10: he was beaten for his faith. But he's praying for
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 10: a Bible in the Hindi language. He is in Bangalore, India.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 10: Jarara is a former witch doctor on the continent of
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 10: Africa in the country of Ethiopia. He's now at Jesus
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 10: follower praying for a Bible. And then another one for
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 10: you is Luis in the country of Ecuador, reached by
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 10: a pastor we talked about at the front end of
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 10: the hour, man by the name of Carlo. He is
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 10: a former crime boss. This man Luis was part of
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 10: the drug cartel.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: Kevin.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 10: Now he is a member of our spiritual family praying
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 10: for a Bible in the ancient Quechua language. Tell me
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 10: that God is not at work in his world through
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 10: his word. And let me say thanks to people like
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 10: Barbara of Brooklyn. She said, I'm in at thirteen bibles.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 10: Lyle of New York City said, Michael Kevin count me
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 10: and I want to be a part of this at
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 10: that one hundred and fifty dollars level. A gift of
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 10: thirty bibles today and the Kevin that's how it gets done.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 10: And you know, we shared a lot of needs this hour.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 10: I know it's been what fifty bibles here, a thousand
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 10: Bibles there. But I also want you to hear of
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 10: just somebody who talks about the reaction, what's actually happening,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 10: the outcome when you give that Bible today. This is
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 10: Pastor Able and he is on the continent of Africa.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 17: Thank you very much. A point by Blik to give
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 17: to this ministry. You are touching life. I've seen people
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 17: being changed by reading the scripture. They've also been looking
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 17: for the scripture for a number of years. Buying a Bible.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 17: Giving a Bible to somebody is the greatest gift you
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 17: can give somebody in life.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Bible's the greatest gift.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 10: And again, Kevin, it's been a joy for me to
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 10: come and be with you today to share what God
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 10: is doing in his world. You know, Paul says in Galatian,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 10: spare one another's burdens and thus fulfill the law of Christ.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 10: And that's what we're doing with this Kingdom work today,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 10: fulfilling the law of Christ, bearing those burdens, and again
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 10: putting the joy of God's word into empty waiting hands
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 10: all over the world.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: See happen, and friend, it can very simply if we
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: just each do what we can. If you're able today
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: to sit down and say, Okay, I'm going to look
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: at my budget for this month. Where can I carve
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: out a few dollars? Where can I do what's necessary
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: to supply what my family needs and so forth. But
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: beyond that, be able to say, okay, now I have
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: from this amount, this is what I can do to
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: give Bibles to those who don't have them but desperately
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: want them. What would that be? Just take that number,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, divided by five. That's the number of
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: Bibles that you're going to be able to give. And
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: then if you give that gift, multiply that number. That
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: number of Bibles by the number twelve. And that's how
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: many people you will actually impact through your gift, because
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: for every Bible that's given, there's about twelve people that
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: come to faith because of that. And that's what Bible
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: League has traced now for more than eighty eight years
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: in ministry. And to be really like brass tax honest,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: that's why we do it. We want people to know Jesus.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: We want people to know his love, to know the
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: heart he has for them, to know the mission that
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: he has for them, to know the purpose that he
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: brings them. That's the heartbeat of everything we do related
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: to Bible League is that more people would come to
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: know Him and that in the process of knowing him,
