1:26
Speaker 6: you with us.
1:27

1:46
Speaker 4: Channel all it's all right there that Kevinshow dot com
1:50
Speaker 4: and I hope that you will check that out. So
1:53
Speaker 4: grateful to have you with us today. I've got a
1:57
Speaker 4: very important discussion that I need to have at the
1:59
Speaker 4: top of the next hour, and we're going to get
2:02
Speaker 4: into election integrity as I have often been talking about
2:07
Speaker 4: in recent days, but we've got another potential improvement in
2:12
Speaker 4: that regard and I want to draw your attention to it.
2:15
Speaker 4: Supreme Court has something to say about it, so we'll
2:17
Speaker 4: get into that. That's next hour. But just ahead of
2:21
Speaker 4: today's hearing where Minnesota lawmakers are going to discuss food
2:26
Speaker 4: stamp fraud, Fox News Digital was able to speak to
2:30
Speaker 4: a millionaire, I said millionaire who says he was able
2:34
Speaker 4: to qualify for food stamps through a loophole, one that
2:38
Speaker 4: he hopes will soon be closed as the state is
2:40
Speaker 4: grappling with a massive fraud scandal. Rob Undersander, a retired
2:46
Speaker 4: engineer in Minnesota who volunteers to help seniors navigate the
2:51
Speaker 4: government benefit system. Said he learned during training that eligibility
2:56
Speaker 4: for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program SNAP in Minnesota was
3:01
Speaker 4: based on income only, not on assets, and because his
3:05
Speaker 4: retirement income was low, he realized he could qualify even
3:09
Speaker 4: though he had significant investments and property. To test the
3:15
Speaker 4: system under Sander applied for the benefits in Stearns County
3:18
Speaker 4: in twenty sixteen and was approved within weeks. He later
3:21
Speaker 4: said he collected thousands of dollars in SNAP benefits over
3:25
Speaker 4: more than a year, which he donated to charity. In
3:27
Speaker 4: an effort to draw attention to the issue, he said,
3:30
Speaker 4: I strongly support SNAP benefits for truly needy individuals. But
3:33
Speaker 4: when we have nearly one in seven Americans receiving food
3:36
Speaker 4: support in the wealthiest nation on Earth with historically low unemployment,
3:40
Speaker 4: something is wrong. One might call the current eligibility rules
3:46
Speaker 4: fraud by design is what he called them. And given
3:48
Speaker 4: the current climate of fraud and abuse of taxpayer funded
3:51
Speaker 4: benefits in Minnesota, I'm hoping that there will be a
3:54
Speaker 4: new bipartisan effort to reduce and eliminate both. Minnesota continues
3:59
Speaker 4: to deal with an explodvoding fraud scandal that could reach
4:01
Speaker 4: into the tens of billions of dollars. I believe that
4:04
Speaker 4: it is. Under Sander will testify in front of the
4:08
Speaker 4: Minnesota House Public Safety Committee today in a hearing on
4:13
Speaker 4: SNAP reform bills introduced by the GOP Rep Pam Altendorf.
4:19
Speaker 4: The bill with tight and eligibility rules for food SNAP
4:21
Speaker 4: benefits and require stricter income and asset verification before they
4:25
Speaker 4: can enroll in SNAP. Over the ten years since he
4:30
Speaker 4: first exposed the flaw in the system, under Sander has
4:33
Speaker 4: become a vocal advocate of making changes, even testifying before Congress,
4:37
Speaker 4: but says nothing has been done by the electeds. He said,
4:42
Speaker 4: I've purchased lobster and Filet Mignon on my EBT card.
4:46
Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy. During former President Joe Biden's administration, federal
4:51
Speaker 4: spending on Snap climb to record highs of one hundred
4:53
Speaker 4: and twenty eight billion in twenty twenty one and one
4:56
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty seven billion in twenty twenty two. Your
5:00
Speaker 4: Snap costs ninety nine point eight billion, with participants receiving
5:04
Speaker 4: an average of one hundred and eighty seven dollars in
5:06
Speaker 4: monthly benefits. Federal data shows. In a November press release,
5:12
Speaker 4: Altendors Office reported that Minnesota distributed nearly seven hundred and
5:15
Speaker 4: twenty five million in benefits in twenty twenty, but that
5:18
Speaker 4: total jumped to nearly two billion in twenty twenty one,
5:21
Speaker 4: marking a one hundred and seventy four percent increase in
5:24
Speaker 4: just one year. So here you have, and good on
5:28
Speaker 4: him for someone who has actually done exactly what the
5:34
Speaker 4: crooks have done and then demonstrated it to lawmakers. Now
5:37
Speaker 4: shame on lawmakers for not doing anything about it. But friends,
5:43
Speaker 4: this is the kind of thing when you don't have
5:46
Speaker 4: accountability that happens, and in this case, to the tune
5:52
Speaker 4: of billions and billions of dollars. And it's why I
5:57
Speaker 4: keep coming back to the Save America Act. If we
6:01
Speaker 4: don't have integrity in our elections, we're not going to
6:05
Speaker 4: get integrity in what they do with the money that
6:08
Speaker 4: we send to Washington. And if we don't have integrity
6:12
Speaker 4: with that, it's going to go to people that not
6:14
Speaker 4: only don't deserve to have it, but that are using
6:19
Speaker 4: it against us. The Somali Muslim community that has reaped
6:25
Speaker 4: billions of dollars in fraudulent DC kickbacks. Are some of
6:31
Speaker 4: the same people that are chanting death to America in
6:35
Speaker 4: some of these public rallies. Some of the same people
6:38
Speaker 4: that give bona fide support to terrorists. Some of these
6:44
Speaker 4: people are doing what they can to undermine the safety
6:48
Speaker 4: and security of America and Americans. And you can sit
6:53
Speaker 4: and think that it doesn't matter, you would be wrong.
7:00
Speaker 4: Sit and say, well, what's the big deal. It's just
7:02
Speaker 4: a few dollars, it's not it's billions. Who do you
7:07
Speaker 4: think will spend your And those are your dollars that
7:12
Speaker 4: you worked for, that you earned, that you paid in
7:15
Speaker 4: taxes to the government. They're not the government's money. It's
7:18
Speaker 4: not the government's money. It doesn't belong to the government.
7:23
Speaker 4: The value of those dollars you earned that the government
7:29
Speaker 4: is using it supposedly in public interest for things that
7:32
Speaker 4: you might benefit from, like roads or national defense. That's understandable.
7:40
Speaker 4: That they are siphoning it off under corrupt schemes and
7:45
Speaker 4: putting it into the pockets of people that literally hate
7:49
Speaker 4: us is unfathomable. And Governor Waltz and the Mayor of Minnesota,
7:59
Speaker 4: Mayor Mayor of Minneapolis, and Elon Omar and Keith Ellison
8:10
Speaker 4: all the big ringleaders that knew about the fraud have
8:14
Speaker 4: testified that they knew about the fraud and yet did
8:19
Speaker 4: blessed nothing about it. They need to be held accountable
8:25
Speaker 4: and the best way to hold them accountable is to
8:27
Speaker 4: kick them out of office. And if you can't trust
8:31
Speaker 4: your elections, how are you going to do that? Election
8:35
Speaker 4: integrity and being able to count the votes properly according
8:40
Speaker 4: to the constitution, making sure that no one casts a
8:44
Speaker 4: bauot that is not that is not by right allowed to.
8:49
Speaker 4: These are the types of things that we have to
8:53
Speaker 4: stand vigilance for. And if we don't, man are we
8:58
Speaker 4: in for it? Ripped off at every turn, and nothing
9:03
Speaker 4: we can do about it. I want to do something
9:05
Speaker 4: about it. Two O two two two four thirty one
9:08
Speaker 4: twenty one. Two O two two two four thirty one
9:11
Speaker 4: twenty one. Call the US Senate and ask your senator
9:15
Speaker 4: to vote in favor of the Save America Act. They
9:19
Speaker 4: need to hear from you. Two O two two two
9:22
Speaker 4: four thirty one twenty one. Doesn't matter if you're in
9:25
Speaker 4: a red state or a blue state. Call your senator
9:27
Speaker 4: tell them you expect them to pass the Save America Act.
9:31
Speaker 4: Eighty six percent of Democrats, eighty six percent of independence
9:35
Speaker 4: eighty seven percent of Republicans all agree with the with
9:38
Speaker 4: the Save America Act. This is not a risk for them,
9:44
Speaker 4: This is this is a good vote. It's an eighty
9:46
Speaker 4: twenty issue two O two two two four thirty one,
9:48
Speaker 4: twenty one, two O two two two four thirty one,
9:51
Speaker 4: twenty ten.
10:07
Speaker 1: Here he is from New York that Kevin McCullough.
10:16
Speaker 4: All right, welcome, it's the Tuesday edition and Kevin McCullough,
10:20
Speaker 4: very glad to have you with us. This is the
10:22
Speaker 4: part of the show every day where we say, how
10:24
Speaker 4: do we live? How do we live in spite of
10:26
Speaker 4: a culture that hates God, has no use for his
10:30
Speaker 4: word at all, and kind of looks at those of
10:33
Speaker 4: us that might be interested in Him, or might love him,
10:36
Speaker 4: or might love his word as something's wrong with us.
10:39
Speaker 4: Does that change our mission? It should not, I would advocate,
10:42
Speaker 4: But how do we deal with that? And in this
10:44
Speaker 4: little envelope of the year, this little season, these two
10:47
Speaker 4: weeks where we're preparing for Holy Week and then next
10:50
Speaker 4: week we will walk through Holy Week, I am wanting
10:54
Speaker 4: us to turn our thoughts specifically to the events that
10:57
Speaker 4: led up to the events of that week, What led
11:00
Speaker 4: up to the cross, what led up to the resurrection,
11:04
Speaker 4: what led up to that moment where everything changed. Well,
11:08
Speaker 4: Dave Stone is back with us from Focus on the Family.
11:10
Speaker 4: He hosts the Pastor to Pastor podcast, and we've got
11:14
Speaker 4: a lot to get through this week. We started yesterday
11:17
Speaker 4: by talking about feet washing, which was something I'm going
11:20
Speaker 4: to bet ten to one none of you woke up
11:23
Speaker 4: yesterday morning saying, hey, let's think about feet washing, and
11:26
Speaker 4: you know what, that's okay because we needed to, but
11:29
Speaker 4: we were wandering into what happened next at the Last Supper,
11:34
Speaker 4: which was really the model that Jesus gave us for communion.
11:38
Speaker 4: And Dave, welcome back. Always glad to have you. Enjoy
11:42
Speaker 4: our time together immensely. Communion is one of those things.
11:46
Speaker 4: It's one of the few things sacraments that's observed across
11:49
Speaker 4: all branches of Christianity, and it's still practiced pretty accurately
11:55
Speaker 4: to the way Jesus described it, and it's something that
11:59
Speaker 4: has been come not only a ritual, but an active
12:04
Speaker 4: part of worship for billions of Christians throughout the history
12:09
Speaker 4: of the church. And it's something that we will practice
12:12
Speaker 4: our church just had it this last Sunday. We're going
12:16
Speaker 4: to have it probably again the weekend of Holy Week.
12:19
Speaker 4: But it is something that I think for a lot
12:22
Speaker 4: of people. If you're not a believer, if you maybe
12:24
Speaker 4: you've never really given it much thought, there might be
12:27
Speaker 4: a lot of questions about it. So let's go back
12:30
Speaker 4: to the Last Supper and what was Jesus establishing there.
12:33
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's great to be back with you, Kevin.
12:36
Speaker 7: And yesterday we didn't talk about servanthood, and today we
12:39
Speaker 7: just want to talk about that supper. We want to
12:41
Speaker 7: talk about the Lord's Supper because it has become an
12:45
Speaker 7: ongoing tradition that allows us to do two things. It
12:49
Speaker 7: allows us to look back and to look forward. And
12:52
Speaker 7: so when you think of every time you take communion,
12:55
Speaker 7: what you're actually doing is you're going back and you
12:59
Speaker 7: are a memorial what took place on that weekend when
13:04
Speaker 7: man was at his worst and God was at his best.
13:07
Speaker 7: And so we're remembering Jesus death on the cross. For us,
13:11
Speaker 7: this is the institution of that right there at this
13:16
Speaker 7: passover meal. So they think that they're there for the
13:19
Speaker 7: significance of the passover meal, which of course has a
13:23
Speaker 7: lot of symbolism to it to the Jewish community, but
13:27
Speaker 7: it was deeper than that. It was the starting of
13:30
Speaker 7: this new covenant, and it was Jesus expressing how this
13:34
Speaker 7: would become an ongoing thing for them. And so you
13:38
Speaker 7: have the bread that represents his body that will be
13:44
Speaker 7: broken for us the next day, and then you have
13:48
Speaker 7: the Jews the wine, and the wine symbolizes his blood.
13:53
Speaker 7: And we're told in scripture to take this with seriousness,
13:59
Speaker 7: not take this lightly, to make certain that we're really
14:03
Speaker 7: thinking about our sins and how it is that we
14:05
Speaker 7: have let God down and trying to get right with
14:08
Speaker 7: him during that communion time and through the Lord's Supper.
14:12
Speaker 7: So had to be a powerful visual moment. I hope
14:17
Speaker 7: that in heaven, Kevin, that runs. I hope in Heaven, Kevin,
14:21
Speaker 7: that we get to go in different rooms and say, hey,
14:24
Speaker 7: I'd like to watch the Last Supper together and just
14:28
Speaker 7: watch how that two hours unfolded, and then see when
14:33
Speaker 7: he passes the bread to them, and see as they.
14:36
Speaker 1: Drink the wine.
14:39
Speaker 7: It would it would make for a powerful moment to
14:42
Speaker 7: see what it was like. They might not understand all
14:44
Speaker 7: the implications at that time, of course, they couldn't. They
14:47
Speaker 7: didn't understand the symbolism of it, but they certainly did
14:52
Speaker 7: after the death, peril, and resurrection of Jesus.
14:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, alongside of the Last Supper and this kind of
15:00
Speaker 4: bodiment of what we now call the sacrament of Communion,
15:05
Speaker 4: there's also something very evil happening at the same time.
15:08
Speaker 4: At least I think we generally think of it as evil.
15:11
Speaker 4: Judas has already struck his deal and Jesus talks directly
15:16
Speaker 4: to him in the midst of them supping together, yeah.
15:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, And for us to think that Judas would still
15:28
Speaker 7: go ahead and go go on with this after being
15:32
Speaker 7: there in that moment, most of the Elogians think when
15:36
Speaker 7: people ask a question, okay, did you just take communion?
15:40
Speaker 1: Well, it appears that he.
15:42
Speaker 7: Was given the bread, and we think that most of
15:46
Speaker 7: the Elogians think that we know he was present there
15:49
Speaker 7: as it was being talked about. Then after receiving the bread,
15:53
Speaker 7: he leaves and people just think that he's going to
15:57
Speaker 7: pay someone for because he was in charge of the
15:59
Speaker 7: money bag, or that Christ had whispered something to him. Now,
16:05
Speaker 7: what's also interesting is to think, how could Jesus be
16:08
Speaker 7: talking to him and the other people not understanding what's
16:12
Speaker 7: going on. And it makes me think that John was
16:16
Speaker 7: seated on one side of him and Judas was right
16:18
Speaker 7: next to him, and that's how he could just you know,
16:21
Speaker 7: how you can say something, Sure, you got thirteen people
16:24
Speaker 7: in the room, there's some banter back and forth. You
16:28
Speaker 7: can say something to the person beside you and no
16:30
Speaker 7: one else hears it. And I think that's when he says,
16:33
Speaker 7: you know what you're about to do, go and do quickly.
16:37
Speaker 1: And that's the moment.
16:38
Speaker 7: You know, the Bible says after he takes that bread,
16:42
Speaker 7: does it say he eats the bread, but says after
16:44
Speaker 7: he takes the bread, he heads right out.
16:48
Speaker 2: And so it's a.
16:50
Speaker 7: Powerful scene of good versus evil that is unfolding in
16:55
Speaker 7: that moment.
16:56
Speaker 1: And it's also one of these things.
16:59
Speaker 7: That is a self indictment, because I'll look at that
17:01
Speaker 7: and I'll say, hey, there is absolutely no way that
17:04
Speaker 7: somebody would do something like that where Jesus, their Lord,
17:08
Speaker 7: their master, their rabbi is talking with them and you're
17:11
Speaker 7: having a spiritual moment and then you're just going to
17:14
Speaker 7: go walk out and betray him. And then I think
17:17
Speaker 7: about my own life, Kevin, and I think about the
17:21
Speaker 7: times where I know the good that I'm supposed to do,
17:26
Speaker 7: and yet I still go out and do it, and
17:31
Speaker 7: I don't do what God wants me to do.
17:33
Speaker 1: I do what I want to do.
17:34
Speaker 7: I don't listen to what it is that He's put
17:39
Speaker 7: on my heart or what it is that I know
17:41
Speaker 7: that I'm supposed to do, and instead I do selfishly
17:45
Speaker 7: what it is it makes me feel good and what
17:46
Speaker 7: I want to do. So before I'm too hard on
17:50
Speaker 7: you this, I have to realize that I've done that
17:54
Speaker 7: same thing time and time again, maybe not to that extent.
18:00
Speaker 7: My heart was hardened. And that's why I think that's
18:06
Speaker 7: why I think we need communion, is because the Lord
18:09
Speaker 7: Shepherd reminds us that, you know, the past is not trivial,
18:14
Speaker 7: Our sin is not trivial, and the God went across
18:17
Speaker 7: to pay for that and to erase that.
18:20
Speaker 4: I think that you're spot on, and I think that
18:23
Speaker 4: there's a there's an added layer to this that not
18:30
Speaker 4: a lot of pastors do. I'm very grateful for the
18:33
Speaker 4: pastor that we have because he regularly calls out specific
18:39
Speaker 4: sins and says, look, if you're if you're you know,
18:46
Speaker 4: still cheating on your taxes, if you're still looking at pornography.
18:49
Speaker 4: If you're still flirting with that relationship in the office
18:53
Speaker 4: or in the community, that is not healthy. If you
18:56
Speaker 4: are like regularly saying, examine your heart, see those things,
19:03
Speaker 4: because they all start inside, right, I mean, Judas didn't
19:07
Speaker 4: wake up and go hey, novel idea betray Jesus today.
19:10
Speaker 4: Inside he was there was something going amiss, and then
19:16
Speaker 4: the opportunity to turn Jesus over for an amount of
19:19
Speaker 4: money comes across his path, and temptation is strong. And
19:24
Speaker 4: to your point, we can't sit in judgment of him,
19:26
Speaker 4: We can't sit in judgment of anybody, because we betray
19:30
Speaker 4: that same Christ when we are engaged in those things
19:33
Speaker 4: that still easily beset us. And yet it is for
19:37
Speaker 4: that betrayal, it is for that sin that he has died.
19:40
Speaker 4: The real sad thing about Judas to me is that
19:45
Speaker 4: he didn't really grasp how amazing the grace of God was,
19:50
Speaker 4: because if he had, I think he would have dropped
19:54
Speaker 4: that clung to Jesus' robe like you wouldn't, like he
19:56
Speaker 4: would have never let go. God is both good and
20:01
Speaker 4: he is also sovereign, and without sovereignty, goodness doesn't matter.
20:05
Speaker 4: And without goodness sovereignty is just tyranny. We have to
20:08
Speaker 4: be able to understand that the God who calls us
20:11
Speaker 4: to himself, loves us more than we can imagine, is
20:15
Speaker 4: better than anything we can know. And friends, those of
20:17
Speaker 4: you listening, that is the message that we want you
20:20
Speaker 4: to understand and hear for the next two weeks. Right here,
20:23
Speaker 4: we want you to know the love of God, a
20:26
Speaker 4: sovereign God who's fully in control, but also someone who
20:29
Speaker 4: is deeply, deeply good and wants good for you. Dave Stone,
20:33
Speaker 4: thank you for day two here. We'll talk to you
20:35
Speaker 4: again tomorrow when we shift to the Garden of gethsemone.
20:38
Speaker 4: As we are walking our way up to Holy Week
20:41
Speaker 4: here with Kevin McCullough.
20:42
Speaker 8: Uncle anywhere, let's stick around for more of that Kevin
20:50
Speaker 8: next here he is from New York.
21:09
Speaker 4: That Kevin. Kevin McCullough, and welcome back to Times Square.
21:16
Speaker 4: It's Kevin McCullough from that Kevin Show. And as we
21:19
Speaker 4: have been telling you for some time, we are in
21:22
Speaker 4: the process of doing something very special. You've heard me
21:25
Speaker 4: talk about the work of Food for the Poor and
21:29
Speaker 4: the children that they reach and the lives that they touch. Well,
21:33
Speaker 4: I'm excited that once again we have the opportunity to
21:36
Speaker 4: actually feed a number of kids for the coming year
21:40
Speaker 4: and to make sure that they have clean drinking water
21:43
Speaker 4: in the days to come. It's a very big lift
21:45
Speaker 4: to try to help seven hundred and twenty children, but
21:48
Speaker 4: that's the list, that's the names, that's who we have
21:51
Speaker 4: this year. So I'm going to ask you step into
21:55
Speaker 4: this with us, go on this journey, help us reach
21:58
Speaker 4: every one of these children in just the name few
22:00
Speaker 4: days and for the next ten minutes. I want those
22:04
Speaker 4: of you listening right now who are already inclined to
22:06
Speaker 4: do something about this, we have a matching challenge in
22:08
Speaker 4: next ten minutes. As many meals as you can provide
22:11
Speaker 4: in the dollars that you give, it's going to be
22:14
Speaker 4: matched meal for meal, child for child. So if you
22:17
Speaker 4: can do a three hundred dollars gift right now and
22:19
Speaker 4: help four children, that's going to be eight kids that
22:22
Speaker 4: end up eating because you gave it now instead of later.
22:26
Speaker 4: So please make that call eight five five nine oh
22:28
Speaker 4: seven four six seven three. You can also text the
22:31
Speaker 4: word hunger to five to one five five five, or
22:34
Speaker 4: just go to my website that kevinshow dot com and
22:37
Speaker 4: click the banner at the top of the page. As
22:39
Speaker 4: you do, it'll only take a couple of minutes to
22:42
Speaker 4: do any one of these methods. But as you do,
22:45
Speaker 4: someone will begin eating tomorrow because you gave today. And
22:49
Speaker 4: that's how quickly we can process the gift, get the
22:53
Speaker 4: food to the right hands, and get it into the
22:55
Speaker 4: kids that need it the most. And again, these seven
22:58
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty kids are the ones that are the
23:00
Speaker 4: they're they're the hungriest of the hungriest. So eight y
23:04
Speaker 4: five nine zero seven four six seven three eight five
23:07
Speaker 4: five nine zero seven four six seven three and call
23:10
Speaker 4: right now, because that match is in effect. Every child
23:13
Speaker 4: you feed right now will be fed. That we we
23:16
Speaker 4: will multiply the number of children will be fed because
23:18
Speaker 4: you gave it now, not waiting until later, doing it
23:21
Speaker 4: right now. Eight five five nine zero even four six
23:24
Speaker 4: seven three. Anny, I know that there's a lot of
23:27
Speaker 4: stories that you guys have. Our friend on Hell, who
23:31
Speaker 4: was at the Helm of Food for the Poor for
23:33
Speaker 4: quite a long time, had a classic story that he
23:36
Speaker 4: used to tell all the time, and I was wonderful,
23:39
Speaker 4: could just take a listen to it. Real quick.
23:40
Speaker 9: We walked into this wretched little shack. Inside we saw
23:45
Speaker 9: mother totally with her face showed every line of suffering
23:49
Speaker 9: possible of a mother who feels frustrated because she can't
23:53
Speaker 9: feed her children.
23:54
Speaker 4: She had two children in the shack with her.
23:57
Speaker 9: There was a four year old who was actually eating
23:59
Speaker 9: a full of rice, and the seven year old who
24:02
Speaker 9: was standing there looking very woefully at his little brother
24:06
Speaker 9: who was eating And we said.
24:08
Speaker 4: Old, how come you're not eating also?
24:11
Speaker 9: And he said to us today it's not my turn
24:15
Speaker 9: to eat. Can you imagine the pain on a mother
24:21
Speaker 9: to have to tell one of her children today, it's
24:25
Speaker 9: not your turn to eat perhaps tomorrow. To have that
24:30
Speaker 9: complete food and security where you cannot plan even one
24:35
Speaker 9: day in advance for a meal for your children, that
24:40
Speaker 9: has to break a mother's heart.
24:42
Speaker 10: And that's one seven year old boy in Haiti, and
24:46
Speaker 10: that's one of the countries out of the fifteen that
24:48
Speaker 10: Food for the Poor serves in.
24:49
Speaker 4: And that right there had to be.
24:52
Speaker 10: A lesson in learning, excuse me, a lesson in fairness,
24:56
Speaker 10: but the hard way. And that's not impatience from a child.
25:00
Speaker 10: That's not resignation from a child. That's a child having
25:02
Speaker 10: to understand I'm not gonna be able to eat today,
25:04
Speaker 10: Probably I'm not gonna be able to eat at all.
25:07
Speaker 10: I'm gonna have to forfeit my meal, either for my
25:09
Speaker 10: little sister, my little brother, or somebody who's next.
25:13
Speaker 1: And then that's a.
25:13
Speaker 10: Reality that these children are living in right now, and
25:17
Speaker 10: that reality you can step in to make a difference.
25:19
Speaker 10: You can be the answer to a prayer from a
25:22
Speaker 10: mother last night that she doesn't have to make this
25:24
Speaker 10: kind of decision on a daily basis. I understand one time,
25:27
Speaker 10: maybe two, but on a daily that's not something folks
25:30
Speaker 10: like that should ever live in, not here nor there.
25:33
Speaker 10: And that's the reality you can step into right now.
25:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three,
25:39
Speaker 4: or text hunger to five to one five fifty five,
25:41
Speaker 4: or go give online at that kevinshow dot com click
25:45
Speaker 4: the banner at the top of the page. Children who
25:47
Speaker 4: are going hungry is who we're helping with food for
25:50
Speaker 4: the poor by supplying them two meals per day for
25:53
Speaker 4: the coming year and clean drinking water for the foreseeable
25:56
Speaker 4: future of their life. Eight five y five nine zero
25:59
Speaker 4: seven seven three and a one hundred and fifty dollars
26:02
Speaker 4: gift will help two of those children survive this next
26:05
Speaker 4: year without worry. But if you give it now, it
26:08
Speaker 4: will be doubled because of a match. Eight five five
26:10
Speaker 4: nine oh seven four six seven three. And you can
26:13
Speaker 4: feed four kids for one hundred and fifty dollars right now.
26:16
Speaker 4: Eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three. Friends,
26:19
Speaker 4: it's food for the poor. I've worked with them for
26:22
Speaker 4: a couple of dozen years. I love these people. I
26:25
Speaker 4: love their hearts, I love everything that they do, and
26:28
Speaker 4: we right now can impact seven hundred and twenty lives.
26:32
Speaker 4: Just like that little seven year old who had to
26:35
Speaker 4: give up his food for the day so his younger
26:37
Speaker 4: brother could eat because it was his turn. We can
26:40
Speaker 4: impact that family where two brothers get to eat two
26:43
Speaker 4: meals a day and for seventy five dollars. I would
26:47
Speaker 4: just recommend friends that you check your your grocery bill
26:50
Speaker 4: because I'm pretty sure that, however many kids you have
26:53
Speaker 4: in your house, if you only had seventy five dollars
26:56
Speaker 4: for the year to feed them, I'm pretty sure you
26:59
Speaker 4: couldn't it if you're not serving invisible food or something
27:03
Speaker 4: like that, Like there's no cheating here. This is gonna
27:05
Speaker 4: be real food. But like I've got three kids, in
27:07
Speaker 4: my house. I couldn't. I couldn't for four hundred and
27:10
Speaker 4: fifty dollars or less than that to two hundred and
27:12
Speaker 4: twenty five dollars or whatever. I couldn't. I couldn't feed
27:15
Speaker 4: children for that amount of money. And yet Food for
27:18
Speaker 4: the Poor can give two meals a day three hundred
27:20
Speaker 4: and sixty five days for the next year for a
27:23
Speaker 4: child with that gift, And if you give it now
27:26
Speaker 4: in the next ten minutes, it will be doubled. You
27:29
Speaker 4: will reach twice as many kids. The impact will be
27:32
Speaker 4: twice as much because you choose to give it now.
27:35
Speaker 4: Eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three
27:38
Speaker 4: eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three.
27:40
Speaker 4: Take advantage of this match and make that gift right
27:42
Speaker 4: now eight five to five nine zero seven four six
27:45
Speaker 4: seven three, or text one hundred a five to one
27:47
Speaker 4: five to fifty five, or go give online at that
27:50
Speaker 4: kevinshow dot com click the banner at the top of
27:53
Speaker 4: the page.
28:05
Speaker 1: Here he is from New York That Kevin McCullough.
28:14
Speaker 9: Is the O.
28:17
Speaker 4: Yes, I always worry about the conditions.
28:19
Speaker 9: That the water.
28:22
Speaker 5: Is the enferment.
28:23
Speaker 11: Sometimes in the winter they get sick, They might get diarrhea,
28:27
Speaker 11: they might get stomach ache, and I believe that is
28:30
Speaker 11: because of the collisions.
28:32
Speaker 9: That they have.
28:33
Speaker 4: I don't think that there's anybody on the planet that
28:36
Speaker 4: can argue that being sick from bad water is a
28:40
Speaker 4: bad experience. And if you've ever been in a foreign country,
28:43
Speaker 4: if you've ever been in a place where the water
28:45
Speaker 4: supply is not sound, and you've experienced that, you know,
28:49
Speaker 4: just on an average basis, what it is like to
28:52
Speaker 4: be sick from that. But can you imagine that type
28:55
Speaker 4: of water being the only water supply you have. Well,
28:57
Speaker 4: that is the case in South of Little lives, throughout
29:02
Speaker 4: Central and Latin America, South America, Haiti, some of the
29:05
Speaker 4: countries where food for the pores at work eight five
29:08
Speaker 4: five nine oh seven four six seven three. You can
29:11
Speaker 4: also text hunger to five one five five five. If
29:15
Speaker 4: you think about this, friends, and I would really beg
29:18
Speaker 4: of you to consider that one hundred and fifty dollars
29:24
Speaker 4: seventy five dollars per child is not only going to
29:27
Speaker 4: feed them two meals a day for the coming year,
29:31
Speaker 4: but that it's going to give them access to clean
29:33
Speaker 4: drinking water. Now do you think they need probably more
29:37
Speaker 4: than eight or sixteen ounces. Whatever your little water bottle
29:40
Speaker 4: is that you buy from the vending machine or you
29:42
Speaker 4: get it from the from the Walgreens or wherever you go,
29:45
Speaker 4: you know, and you grab a bottle of water, even
29:48
Speaker 4: if you get it from the Sam's Club or the
29:50
Speaker 4: you know whatever else the discount buyer shop, and you
29:53
Speaker 4: get the big crate, they're still what a dollar fifty
29:57
Speaker 4: each or something like that, dollar twenty five maybe where
30:00
Speaker 4: you can go. Imagine having to supply water for a
30:05
Speaker 4: child for an entire year, and they're going to need
30:07
Speaker 4: more than eight ounces a day. They're going to need
30:09
Speaker 4: a lot more than eight ounces of water a day.
30:11
Speaker 4: You're supposed to drink half your body weight in water
30:13
Speaker 4: each day just to be healthy. So think about that
30:17
Speaker 4: and then do that math. You're talking about several hundred
30:21
Speaker 4: dollars just for clean water for one child. And here's
30:25
Speaker 4: the thing. This is the beautiful kind of multiplying effect
30:30
Speaker 4: of food for the poor. You give your gift of
30:32
Speaker 4: seventy five dollars for that child, they're going to get
30:35
Speaker 4: over seven hundred meals for the next year. And in addition,
30:39
Speaker 4: they're going to get literally hundreds, if not thousands, of
30:43
Speaker 4: dollars worth of clean drinking water when you put a
30:47
Speaker 4: dollar amount on it, when you understand what that cost,
30:50
Speaker 4: what it would cost you to bring it into your
30:52
Speaker 4: home to give to your kids, to have your family,
30:55
Speaker 4: imagine that cost. But imagine now the efficiency of having
31:00
Speaker 4: seventy five dollars provide all of that for one child
31:03
Speaker 4: for the next year. So one hundred and fifty dollars
31:05
Speaker 4: takes care of two kids. Now, listen to me very
31:07
Speaker 4: carefully for the next ten minutes. Every child that we
31:12
Speaker 4: take care of, every seventy five dollars gift, every one
31:15
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty dollars gift that comes in, every gift
31:17
Speaker 4: of any size, is going to be doubled. The match
31:20
Speaker 4: that we have on right now is going to double
31:22
Speaker 4: the number of kids that will be served through your
31:25
Speaker 4: gift eight five point five nine oh seven four six
31:29
Speaker 4: seven three. So if you have not yet done it,
31:31
Speaker 4: this is the time to do it, because you're going
31:33
Speaker 4: to serve twice as many people. You're going to do
31:36
Speaker 4: the maximum amount of good. We talk about this a lot.
31:40
Speaker 4: Is is it good to do a good thing? Yes?
31:43
Speaker 4: Is it better to do a maximum good thing? Yes?
31:46
Speaker 4: And this is the maximum good you give a gift
31:49
Speaker 4: of one hundred and fifty dollars and instead of helping
31:51
Speaker 4: two children, which is what will actually cost food for
31:54
Speaker 4: the poor out of pocket to do that. That's what
31:56
Speaker 4: it costs them. They're not making any money on this.
31:58
Speaker 4: They are serving the kids at great efficiency. So one
32:01
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty dollars, that's what it costs. But now
32:05
Speaker 4: it's going to be four kids instead of two because
32:07
Speaker 4: of this matching challenge. We need you to step up
32:11
Speaker 4: and do the maximum good right now eight five five
32:14
Speaker 4: nine oh seven four six seven three. You can also
32:18
Speaker 4: text hunger to five to one five five five. And
32:20
Speaker 4: let me be clear about the text thing. It's not
32:22
Speaker 4: one of these things where you automatically get charged when
32:24
Speaker 4: you do the text. You text the word hunger. You
32:27
Speaker 4: can click that link, look at all of the information,
32:30
Speaker 4: then give your gift via the link. You don't have
32:32
Speaker 4: to don't have to worry about being automatically charged to
32:35
Speaker 4: your phone bill or anything like that. That's not going
32:36
Speaker 4: to happen. Or you can do the same thing by
32:38
Speaker 4: going to that kevinshow dot com. Click the banner at
32:42
Speaker 4: the top of the page. That'll take you to the
32:43
Speaker 4: same page you'll be able to give your gift. It
32:45
Speaker 4: shouldn't take friend more than just a couple of minutes.
32:48
Speaker 4: But that couple of minutes, that little amount of money,
32:52
Speaker 4: for all of that water, for all of that food
32:54
Speaker 4: that you're going to be providing for one child for
32:56
Speaker 4: seventy five dollars, now you're doing two children for the
32:59
Speaker 4: same out. One hundred and fifty dollars. Is kind of
33:01
Speaker 4: the baseline of what we're asking you to do. Can
33:04
Speaker 4: you step into that? Can you help four kids right now?
33:07
Speaker 4: Because if you give your gift of one hundred and
33:08
Speaker 4: fifty dollars, that's how many kids you're going to help
33:11
Speaker 4: eight five, five, nine zero seven, four six seven three
33:14
Speaker 4: eight five, five, nine zero seven for six seven three
33:17
Speaker 4: and Danny, I'm just thinking there are people that you
33:19
Speaker 4: know come and go. They're just hearing us now for
33:21
Speaker 4: the first time. They've never heard about this before. They
33:23
Speaker 4: may not know that Food for the Poor is also
33:25
Speaker 4: a Christian ministry that works exclusively with church leaders on
33:29
Speaker 4: the ground to get the food and the water into
33:34
Speaker 4: the right hand so that the right people who need
33:35
Speaker 4: it get it. And it's so much more efficient than
33:38
Speaker 4: any of the NGO or government oriented's things where everybody's
33:43
Speaker 4: getting grafted and paid and all that ca this is
33:46
Speaker 4: the network to be working with exactly.
33:48
Speaker 10: I think you learn a thing or two over forty
33:50
Speaker 10: three years of helping families, the least of these, we
33:53
Speaker 10: call them, families that right now are struggling just for
33:56
Speaker 10: a meal, struggling to get clean water. And I want
33:59
Speaker 10: to tell you quick story about a dad that I
34:01
Speaker 10: met when we were in hikalasco elisade of bat the
34:04
Speaker 10: Water and Jose told us he was showing us his
34:07
Speaker 10: new toilet, like if it was something that you know,
34:11
Speaker 10: like you and I would show somebody would come.
34:12
Speaker 1: Over the house, Look, this is my new grill.
34:14
Speaker 4: No, it was this is my new toilet.
34:17
Speaker 10: And I understood what he was telling us because throughout
34:19
Speaker 10: this pretty much giving us a tour of his home,
34:22
Speaker 10: he was telling us, now I don't have to go
34:23
Speaker 10: to that little hut out there to.
34:26
Speaker 1: Do the do right, to do that thing.
34:28
Speaker 10: I can finally have that here in my home. I
34:30
Speaker 10: have running water coming into my home now, clean water
34:33
Speaker 10: that's not going to make me sick. And I asked him,
34:35
Speaker 10: what is what is different? What is different from having
34:38
Speaker 10: to go and fetch water? He goes, well, I don't
34:40
Speaker 10: have to go and almost thirty minutes going in thirty
34:43
Speaker 10: minutes back with water on my back and my whole family.
34:46
Speaker 10: But now I feel like I'm in the future. I've
34:49
Speaker 10: gone into the dios. I feel like I'm ten years,
34:52
Speaker 10: fifteen years in the future because now I have water
34:54
Speaker 10: running into my home, and I have more time to
34:57
Speaker 10: be with my nephew, I have more time to be
34:59
Speaker 10: with my family, and I just I understood more from
35:02
Speaker 10: the feeling of his heart, his his just the tears
35:05
Speaker 10: that were running down his face. Finally kind of like
35:08
Speaker 10: of relief, letting us know thank you because of you,
35:11
Speaker 10: because of donors, like folks that are listening right now.
35:14
Speaker 10: That's the future that that family holds right now. And
35:17
Speaker 10: it's not just him, it's a whole community, about forty
35:19
Speaker 10: three families in this small community that are now being
35:22
Speaker 10: able to drink clean water that's not going to make
35:24
Speaker 10: them sick.
35:25
Speaker 4: Eight five five nine oh seven four six seven three. Friends,
35:30
Speaker 4: be a miracle in another child's life right now. Eight
35:33
Speaker 4: five five nine zero seven four six seven three eight
35:36
Speaker 4: five five nine oh seven four six seven three. You
35:39
Speaker 4: can also text hunger to five one five five five,
35:43
Speaker 4: or go to that Kevin Show dot com stick around.
35:46
Speaker 8: For more of that Kevin next serving it up with
36:00
Speaker 8: No Dream Mini. It's that Kebin Show.

Speaker 4: All right, thank you for hanging in there. Kevin mccolla.
36:10
Speaker 4: Our number one coming to an end. We've got a
36:12
Speaker 4: big hour straight ahead. We're going to talk about election integrity.
36:16
Speaker 4: There's a there's a big Supreme Court case that's underway
36:20
Speaker 4: and the arguments the some of the arguments were heard yesterday,
36:23
Speaker 4: and I want to get into the importance of that
36:27
Speaker 4: case as we, you know, think through in the next hour.
36:31
Speaker 4: We're gonna we're going to talk about what it's discussing
36:35
Speaker 4: and I hope that you'll see the validity of it,
36:37
Speaker 4: but also going to talk with It's gonna be a
36:40
Speaker 4: full hour. I was going to talk with Katine McFarland
36:43

36:53
Speaker 4: that is working to our advantage in the conflict in Iran.
36:58
Speaker 4: And then before we're done, we're going to speak with
37:00
Speaker 4: Emma Waters today from the Heritage Foundation, who is going
37:04
Speaker 4: to challenge us with examples from scripture as to why
37:09
Speaker 4: women today need to be like these seven specific examples
37:14
Speaker 4: that she pulls out. How to lead like JL is
37:19
Speaker 4: the book, and she's going to talk to us about
37:21
Speaker 4: what it looks like, especially in a day in which
37:24
Speaker 4: let's just say, traditional roles of men and women are
37:28
Speaker 4: oftentimes issued for more provocative and modern ideas. So we'll
37:34
Speaker 4: get into all of that in the next hour, so
37:36
Speaker 4: I hope you'll stick around for it. I do want
37:39
Speaker 4: to say I'm going to have a little bit of
37:42
Speaker 4: an I told you so a moment here those of
37:44
Speaker 4: you in New York. I told you when we were
37:46
Speaker 4: coming up on the election, I talked at length about
37:49
Speaker 4: it that the problem with electing socialists is that they
37:53
Speaker 4: keep running out of everybody else's money for their programs.
37:56
Speaker 4: First of all, they don't usually have any of their own,
37:58
Speaker 4: and they run out of everybodybody else's money. And then
38:01
Speaker 4: when they do that, they start coming after everybody's money.
38:04
Speaker 4: They usually say, I'm going to tax the rich. I'm
38:06
Speaker 4: just going to tax I'm just going to ask the
38:08
Speaker 4: rich to pay a little bit more. That they'll put
38:11
Speaker 4: it in terms like their fair share, which they already
38:14
Speaker 4: pay the vast majority of the taxes that are paid anyway.
38:18
Speaker 4: But Democratic strategist Melissa De Rosa argued Tuesday that New
38:24
Speaker 4: York City Mayor Zoron Mundami's massive budget proposal gives Republicans
38:29
Speaker 4: an easy line of attack heading into the midterm elections,
38:32
Speaker 4: casting the plan as a vivid example of tax and
38:35
Speaker 4: spend democratic governance. DeRosa told Fox News Channel mom Donni
38:40
Speaker 4: clearly is the perfect foil for every Republican running around
38:44
Speaker 4: the country. The socialist mayor's one hundred and twenty seven
38:47
Speaker 4: billion dollar budget calls for higher taxes on wealthy residents
38:52
Speaker 4: and corporations, as well as potential nine point five property
38:56
Speaker 4: tax increase if state lawmakers decline to act. She also
39:01
Speaker 4: said she contrasted Mamdannie's plan to former New York City
39:04
Speaker 4: Mayor Michael Bloomberg's seventy billion dollar budget passed during his
39:08
Speaker 4: last year, and off Dommy's proposal for fiscal year twenty
39:11
Speaker 4: twenty seven adds nine billion to the current fiscal year.
39:15
Speaker 4: It's larger than the entire state of Florida, which has,
39:18
Speaker 4: I believe, around thirty million people, and New York has
39:20
Speaker 4: around eight and a half million people, So it certainly
39:23
Speaker 4: does embody all of the worst stereotypes about Democrats sat,
39:27
Speaker 4: tax spend reckless, lighting your money on fire, feeling resentful
39:31
Speaker 4: towards the government that doesn't give back to you. Mamdannie,
39:34
Speaker 4: who campaigned on the idea of just taxing the rich,
39:37
Speaker 4: now wants to quote tax everyone literally, DeRosa said, and
39:42
Speaker 4: again she's a Democrat, including raising property taxes. If Albany
39:46
Speaker 4: doesn't agree to raise taxes on the city's wealthiest resident,
39:51
Speaker 4: it's a very bad situation here in New York. DeRosa
39:54
Speaker 4: made the case that New York City spending was inefficient,
39:57
Speaker 4: particularly when it comes to pensions and unions. The city
40:00
Speaker 4: spends more money per pupils, she said, with middling results
40:04
Speaker 4: to show for it. A lot of this, she says,
40:07
Speaker 4: is frankly wrought within the system, within the pension system,
40:09
Speaker 4: within all the perks that the unions are doling out
40:12
Speaker 4: to their members, and that politicians sort of buy in
40:14
Speaker 4: exchange for their endorsements. Since Momdanni took office in January,
40:20
Speaker 4: critics have slammed the slow cleanup of garbage, and now
40:24
Speaker 4: the tax situation is making at all of theirs. So
40:27
Speaker 4: there you go. That's who didn't see that coming. Kevin
40:30
Speaker 4: McCullough coming right back out too, straight alow somewhere in
40:47
Speaker 4: the bowels of the city that never sleeps.
40:49
Speaker 2: Kevin McCullough, radio host with Salem.
40:52
Speaker 4: Media, is a man also not sleepy.
40:56
Speaker 11: Heaven in the pub.
40:57
Speaker 1: And that guy would like a word with you.
41:00
Speaker 4: Many of you know him from his books for Damas.
41:02
Speaker 1: Of course, that Kevin Show is going to be great.
41:04
Speaker 4: The only thing that could be greater, of course, would
41:06
Speaker 4: be that Donald Show.
41:07
Speaker 11: We don't have that.
41:08
Speaker 3: So we have That Kevin Show featuring the music of
41:12
Speaker 3: Dick Tunney and the Dream in Color Orchestra, straight ahead,
41:26
Speaker 3: everything you need to know about the top headlines of
41:28
Speaker 3: the day and a perspective that will give you some
41:32
Speaker 3: eternity to it. Plus practical tips for family life, spiritual life,
41:38
Speaker 3: and good old regular life. It's Kevin McCullough Monday through
41:43
Speaker 3: Friday on That Kevin Show and now from the Connors
41:53
Speaker 3: in Sullivan Broadcast Studios. The man who is not what
41:57
Speaker 3: he wants to be, that is way grateful that he
42:00
Speaker 3: is not who he used to be. Here all right,
42:10
Speaker 3: welcome into our number two. Kevin McCollough. Glad to have
42:13
Speaker 3: you with us for that Kevin Show.
42:15
Speaker 4: And if you're just joining us for the first time.
42:17
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for all that you're doing to
42:21
Speaker 4: keep your mind sharp, to think clearly, to do what
42:25
Speaker 4: you can to make a difference in the world. And grateful, grateful,
42:28
Speaker 4: grateful for everything that you do. There's something almost comical
42:34
Speaker 4: about the argument unfolding before the Supreme Court right now,
42:39
Speaker 4: not because it's trivial, but because it's just so plainly obvious.
42:44
Speaker 4: The question at hand, in a very important case is
42:49
Speaker 4: should ballots that arrive after election day be counted. I
42:53
Speaker 4: don't think a lot of people think that's a good idea.
42:56
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody's confused about it. I don't think
43:00
Speaker 4: there's anyone that really you could argue that, yeah, arriving
43:05
Speaker 4: after And yet for the last several election cycles, not
43:09
Speaker 4: only has it happened, but elections have been decided by
43:14
Speaker 4: the ballots that have shown up after election day. So
43:18
Speaker 4: not ballots casted late, not ballots discovered later, not ballots
43:22
Speaker 4: found in the back of trucks three days after the fact,
43:25
Speaker 4: Ballots that show up after the election is over don't count. Somehow,
43:30
Speaker 4: this is controversial. The Supreme Court's conservative majority is signaling,
43:35
Speaker 4: after a couple of days of hearing on this that well,
43:38
Speaker 4: they're just signaling what every rational American knows election day
43:41
Speaker 4: should mean, election day revolutionary concept. But what's really going
43:48
Speaker 4: on here? Why is this happening? Well, this matters far
43:52
Speaker 4: beyond just this one case that they're hearing. It goes
43:55
Speaker 4: to the very heart of whether we are serious about
43:57
Speaker 4: election integrity. And you've heard me talking a lot of
44:00
Speaker 4: about the Save America Act, but that's just one piece
44:03
Speaker 4: of the election integrity puzzle. And if we're not going
44:07
Speaker 4: to have election integrity, then we're not going to have
44:09
Speaker 4: our country. At issue is a law that allows ballots
44:13
Speaker 4: to be counted up to five days after election day,
44:17
Speaker 4: as long as they're postmarked on time. Sounds harmless until
44:22
Speaker 4: you think about what that actually does to an election.
44:25
Speaker 4: It stretches election day into election week or election month, or,
44:29
Speaker 4: if we're being honest, into a moving target where outcomes
44:32
Speaker 4: can shift long after votes are supposedly finalized. And the
44:37
Speaker 4: Justices have picked up on this, Justice Alito warning that
44:42
Speaker 4: public confidence can be seriously undermined when results flip due
44:47
Speaker 4: to late arriving ballots. Translation, when Americans go to bed
44:50
Speaker 4: thinking one candidate one and wake up days later with
44:52
Speaker 4: a different result. Trust evaporates, no kidding, no kidding, and trust,
44:58
Speaker 4: not turnout, not convenience, even speed is the currency of democracy.
45:02
Speaker 4: Lose that, you've lost the whole system. Now for little
45:06
Speaker 4: reality into the numbers. Hundreds of thousands of late arriving
45:09
Speaker 4: ballots have been counted under these kinds of laws in
45:12
Speaker 4: recent elections, over seven hundred and fifty thousand nationwide. In
45:18
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four alone, more than four hundred thousand ballots
45:22
Speaker 4: arrived after election day in California and were still counted.
45:26
Speaker 4: That's not insignificant, that's not theoretical, that's not rare. That's
45:31
Speaker 4: enough ballots to swing close races local, state, and federal.
45:36
Speaker 4: And this is where the debate stops being academic and
45:38
Speaker 4: starts being fundamental. If elections are about certainty, about finality,
45:43
Speaker 4: about confidence, then allowing large volumes of votes to arrive
45:48
Speaker 4: after the fact undermines all those And that brings me
45:52
Speaker 4: back to the Save America Act. For months, I've been
45:56
Speaker 4: making the case that we need to pursue every single
45:59
Speaker 4: avenue available to strengthen election integrity. Proof of citizenship, voter ID,
46:06
Speaker 4: accurate voter rolls, transparent counting processes, all of it, not
46:13
Speaker 4: some of them, all of it. What the Supreme Court
46:16
Speaker 4: is considering would be the judicial complement to that legislative effort,
46:20
Speaker 4: because while the Save America Act focuses on who is voting,
46:24
Speaker 4: this case addresses when the vote actually counts, and the
46:28
Speaker 4: answer should not be complicated. When the polls close, the
46:32
Speaker 4: election is over period. Anything else invites chaos. And let's
46:39
Speaker 4: be honest about the counter argument, because you've heard it.
46:42
Speaker 4: It's about access, it's about convenience, it's about making sure
46:45
Speaker 4: every vote is counted. Sounds noble until you realize that
46:49
Speaker 4: every system ever devised requires boundaries to function. Airplanes don't
46:54
Speaker 4: wait indefinitely for late passengers. The IRS doesn't accept your
46:57
Speaker 4: tax returns week after the deadline after the deadline. Sporting
47:02
Speaker 4: events don't keep playing until everyone feels like they've had
47:05
Speaker 4: a fair shot. Deadlines matter not because they're harsh, but
47:10
Speaker 4: because they create order, and elections, of all things, require order. Now,
47:15
Speaker 4: opponents of this charge a change will argue that eliminating
47:20
Speaker 4: grace periods could impact certain voters, particularly those overseas or
47:23
Speaker 4: in rural areas. That concern deserves to be addressed. But
47:26
Speaker 4: here's the key distinction. Fixing logistics is not the same
47:30
Speaker 4: thing as abandoning standards. If ballots need to be mailed earlier,
47:35
Speaker 4: then educate voters. If systems need to be improved, then
47:38
Speaker 4: improve them. If exceptions are required for military service members,
47:42
Speaker 4: then craft them carefully and transparently. But what you don't
47:46
Speaker 4: do is ease the finish line, because once you do that,
47:49
Speaker 4: the race never really ends. And that's exactly the danger
47:53
Speaker 4: that the Court seems to recognize, and that's exactly what's
47:56
Speaker 4: happened in recent years. One justice pointed out during arguments.
48:00
Speaker 4: If there's no firm boundary, what stops the state from
48:02
Speaker 4: extending deadlines indefinitely. It's not a slippery slope, it's a
48:07
Speaker 4: logical one. If five days is acceptable, then why not
48:10
Speaker 4: ten or thirty or until the right result appears? Quote unquote.
48:17
Speaker 4: Election integrity is not a single policy, it's a framework.
48:20
Speaker 4: It's a mindset. It's the understanding that every part of
48:23
Speaker 4: the system must reinforce confidence not eroded. The Save America
48:28
Speaker 4: Act strengthens the front end. This Supreme Court ruling, if
48:31
Speaker 4: it goes the way it appears, would strengthen the back end,
48:34
Speaker 4: and together they begin to rebuild something that has been
48:37
Speaker 4: dangerously frayed in recent years. Trust. At the end of
48:43
Speaker 4: the day, elections are not just about counting votes. They're
48:48
Speaker 4: about convincing a nation that those votes were counted fairly, accurately,
48:54
Speaker 4: and within clear, understandable rules. Not shifting goalposts, not flexible rules,
49:00
Speaker 4: not shifting rules, clear rules. Election day should mean something,
49:06
Speaker 4: And if we are serious about preserving this republic, if
49:09
Speaker 4: we actually believe that every legal vote should count and
49:13
Speaker 4: only legal votes should count, then we should be pursuing
49:17
Speaker 4: every possible avenue to ensure that outcome every day, no exceptions,
49:24
Speaker 4: no apologies, because without integrity, democracy isn't strengthened. Without integrity,
49:32
Speaker 4: democracy isn't strengthened. It's just slowly and quietly. Undone. We
49:40
Speaker 4: need the Save America Act to be passed. Contact your
49:44
Speaker 4: Senator at two two two two four thirty one twenty one.
49:50
Speaker 4: We need the Supreme Court Justices to decide this case properly,
49:53
Speaker 4: and I think they will. I think it's going to
49:55
Speaker 4: go six to three, but we'll see it. But call
49:58
Speaker 4: your Senator. America Act clear boundaries on days that can
50:04
Speaker 4: be counted, and not having tons of ballots show up
50:08
Speaker 4: after the counting has begun, well that's always I always
50:12
Speaker 4: find the big batches after they've already started the counting.
50:15
Speaker 4: Oh wow, look, this is how far behind we are.
50:18
Speaker 5: It's nonsense.
50:20
Speaker 4: Two two two two four thirty one twenty one two
50:22
Speaker 4: zero two two two fourth thirty one twenty one Call
50:25
Speaker 4: your senator, past the Save America Act. Kevin McCullough coming back,
50:30
Speaker 4: Kat McFarlane with an update on what's going on in Iran.
50:33
Speaker 4: Up the way.
50:51
Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. Exact Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
51:03
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back, Kevin McCullough. Glad to have you
51:05
Speaker 4: with us. It's Tuesday that meets in trump Land. It's
51:09
Speaker 4: a whole different year. Something else is happening today than yesterday.
51:13
Speaker 4: Yesterday we were talking about the possibility of the Iranians
51:17
Speaker 4: being rational in their negotiations, and the President felt positive
51:21
Speaker 4: about that. Today they're like, you're full of it. We
51:24
Speaker 4: never were rational, We never meant anything nice. And I
51:28
Speaker 4: think that they're going to have to think about this
51:30
Speaker 4: because the President has been very specific about what he'd
51:33
Speaker 4: like to see happen here. To discuss someone who has
51:36
Speaker 4: advised the president in the past, he's actually by several
51:39
Speaker 4: presidents on foreign affairs, but also national security, most importantly
51:44
Speaker 4: national security issues. Kati McFarland is her name, and Kat
51:48
Speaker 4: it's funny because like crazy, like a fox, right, I mean,
51:53
Speaker 4: Trump is he's moving all the chess pieces in place
51:57
Speaker 4: and saying, would you like to surrender? I don't have
51:59
Speaker 4: to your king, I don't have to take your rook.
52:02
Speaker 4: I can at any moment that I want to, I
52:04
Speaker 4: can go get them. But would you like to talk?
52:06
Speaker 4: He being unpredictable, I guess is how the Wall Street
52:10
Speaker 4: Journal put it yesterday is kind of his superpower.
52:15
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's his secret sauce. And then he knows it's
52:18
Speaker 11: his secret sauce because he's always sets things up and
52:22
Speaker 11: did so when he was in the construction business. He
52:25
Speaker 11: sets things up, so he has a lot of different options.
52:27
Speaker 11: He maybe hasn't decided in advance what his policies. I mean,
52:32
Speaker 11: he knows his end goal, but he may not know
52:34
Speaker 11: how he's going to achieve that end goal. That's why
52:36
Speaker 11: it gives himself lots of options. That's why I had
52:38
Speaker 11: the whole armada in the Persian golf area. That's why
52:42
Speaker 11: he's bringing in right now some some shifts that carry
52:48
Speaker 11: a lot of marines, like three to five thousand marines
52:50
Speaker 11: are going to be in the area by the weekend.
52:52
Speaker 2: He's going to have a lot of options.
52:54
Speaker 11: And then he'll figure out and you decide, Bob, we've
52:57
Speaker 11: changed to suit and take advantage of the situation. Now
53:01
Speaker 11: the great secret Sauce is asked to look at him
53:04
Speaker 11: and think, well, you know, he's just maybe he might
53:07
Speaker 11: do that, maybe he doesn't do that, maybe chickens out,
53:10
Speaker 11: maybe he preemptively attacks. And so as a result, it
53:13
Speaker 11: gives him an enormous amount of sort of credibility and
53:17
Speaker 11: strength because everybody he deals with in negotiations has to
53:22
Speaker 11: assume the worst.
53:23
Speaker 4: Well, and I've been telling my friends, you know, don't
53:27
Speaker 4: think Iraq, don't think Afghanistan, don't think forever war. This
53:31
Speaker 4: is a list of objectives that we are going to
53:34
Speaker 4: go achieve and then we're coming back. And I've got
53:36
Speaker 4: a lot of friends that you know, they gave me
53:39
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks and they were like, Okay, keV.
53:40
Speaker 4: You know, he's earned our trust because of how he's
53:43
Speaker 4: handled things. But the longer it drags on, the more
53:46
Speaker 4: that people start to say, no, this really is turning
53:47
Speaker 4: into something else, and I still don't think that it is,
53:50
Speaker 4: and I think that if the Iranians came to their
53:54
Speaker 4: senses today, we could have a brand new outcome there.
53:57
Speaker 4: I just think that there's still some really bad people
54:00
Speaker 4: that they're gonna have to deal with to kind of
54:03
Speaker 4: root out. But let's talk about what what are the
54:07
Speaker 4: next steps from your perspective if they do not cooperate,
54:11
Speaker 4: Will we attack the energy infrastructure? Will we blow up
54:15
Speaker 4: the oil supply? This has been something he's been very
54:18
Speaker 4: hesitant to do.
54:19
Speaker 11: Yeah, And the reason he's hesitant to do it, I
54:21
Speaker 11: think is twofold number one. You blow that up and
54:24
Speaker 11: then the world does have a reduced amount of energy
54:27
Speaker 11: going to it. And if you think of the world
54:28
Speaker 11: energy as like a bit with a giant straw that
54:31
Speaker 11: you're sucking out of a cup, it makes a difference
54:33
Speaker 11: of Iranian energy is taken out for a decade. Secondly,
54:38
Speaker 11: I think he's doing it because, first of all, it
54:40
Speaker 11: doesn't need to destroy things.
54:42
Speaker 2: I mean, he even said he's a building and.
54:44
Speaker 11: He's a builder, and when some when he was getting
54:46
Speaker 11: his previews from the military, and they said, well, we
54:48
Speaker 11: destroyed all these ships, and he said, why don't we
54:50
Speaker 11: destroy them. Why don't we just see them? We could
54:52
Speaker 11: have used him.
54:53
Speaker 2: And so I think that when he's looking at, for example,
54:55
Speaker 2: carg Island.
54:56
Speaker 11: Where Carg Island is this island in the middle of
54:59
Speaker 11: a narrow stream pharmus and carg Island has two things
55:02
Speaker 11: on it, one military basis and two oil infrastructure. And
55:07
Speaker 11: it's where all the Iranian oil goes out by a
55:09
Speaker 11: pipeline goes to Carg Island and then it gets put
55:12
Speaker 11: on tankers that go wherever they're going in the world.
55:15
Speaker 2: And he's taken out the military.
55:18
Speaker 11: Sites and those are to the left and the right,
55:19
Speaker 11: and it's the east and the west side of the island.
55:21
Speaker 11: They're obliterated, gone, but he's left completely intact the infrastructure,
55:27
Speaker 11: the oil energy infrastructure.
55:29
Speaker 2: Why I think it's in.
55:30
Speaker 11: Part because he's looking beyond this regime or either this
55:34
Speaker 11: regime is changed in the sense of regime change, or
55:39
Speaker 11: it's the same regime but it changes, it does very
55:41
Speaker 11: different policies, and Iran will need the income from that
55:46
Speaker 11: oil to rebuild and to do all the things going forward.
55:50
Speaker 11: Trump could destroy it tomorrow, just bomb it like he's
55:54
Speaker 11: bombed other things, and it would be gone.
55:55
Speaker 2: And it was set a run.
55:57
Speaker 11: Back, not just decade, not just a decade, but decades
56:00
Speaker 11: because they would lose they would have to rebuild Allergy immediately.
56:04
Speaker 4: I poverished the country for decades, and that's not what
56:08
Speaker 4: we want to do to the Ranian people.
56:11
Speaker 11: No, we want a different government or a government that's
56:14
Speaker 11: going to do different things. And President Trump has been
56:17
Speaker 11: very clear his three objectives. Number one, no nuclear weapons.
56:21
Speaker 11: Number two, no missiles that can deliver nuclear weapons. Number three,
56:26
Speaker 11: no proxy terrorist groups in the region. And I would
56:29
Speaker 11: add now to it, keeping open the strait of hormones.
56:36
Speaker 11: He doesn't care who does it, whether it's the Ayatola,
56:38
Speaker 11: whether it's some new government, it's for him. He does
56:42
Speaker 11: not want to make the George W. Bush mistake, which
56:45
Speaker 11: your friends are gragging on you about, Oh it's going
56:48
Speaker 11: to be an occupation, oh forever. Or Trump doesn't want
56:51
Speaker 11: to occupy, he doesn't want to run things. He doesn't
56:54
Speaker 11: want to make him write new constitutions, all of the
56:56
Speaker 11: George W. Bush stuff. He doesn't want to change their culture.
56:59
Speaker 11: He just wants them to go down that list. No
57:02
Speaker 11: nuclear weapons, no missiles to deliver them, no proxy terrorist
57:07
Speaker 11: groups that go after Americans in the region and now
57:12
Speaker 11: keeping up on the Strait of Hormuz, which is a
57:14
Speaker 11: major trade route. Not for the United States, I will
57:17
Speaker 11: point out, but between Europe, Middle East Asia. It's their
57:21
Speaker 11: oil that's going through there. It's their commercial goods MA ours.
57:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't, We're not dependent on it to the
57:28
Speaker 4: energy independent. Yeah, well, as long as we don't put
57:32
Speaker 4: Biden back in office. Well, and that's the other thing
57:36
Speaker 4: that I wanted to ask you about the powers in
57:38
Speaker 4: the region. I'm reading a lot today that the Crown
57:42
Speaker 4: Prince of Saudi Arabia is growing increasingly irritated. In fact,
57:46
Speaker 4: they're saying that in private phone calls with the President
57:49
Speaker 4: that he's begging President Trump to just finish them off
57:52
Speaker 4: and just to be done with it. What does a
57:56
Speaker 4: new Middle East look like? Maybe from the Saudi perspect
58:00
Speaker 4: if Iran is a contributing member to the neighborhood and
58:04
Speaker 4: not trying to be an intimidating member.
58:07
Speaker 11: To the neighborhood, it just changes everything, not just in
58:10
Speaker 11: the neighborhood, but in the world. And I think that
58:12
Speaker 11: this is why President Trump is playing four dimensional chess.
58:15
Speaker 11: First dimension is, as I just said, get rid of
58:17
Speaker 11: Around's nuclear weapons, missiles, et cetera. That solves our problem,
58:21
Speaker 11: the threat to us to our national security. But number two,
58:23
Speaker 11: it's to remake the Middle East so that it's no
58:26
Speaker 11: longer a source of constant conflict, but a source of commerce,
58:30
Speaker 11: not just for their energy, the value of their energy,
58:33
Speaker 11: but because they're moving into technology, they're moving into various
58:37
Speaker 11: other ways of making a living. And because of its
58:41
Speaker 11: location between Europe, Middle East, Asia, it's an important hub
58:45
Speaker 11: to have.
58:46
Speaker 2: At East and its safe.
58:47
Speaker 4: And then the third dimension is civilization in that section
58:50
Speaker 4: of the world.
58:51
Speaker 2: Correct, And if you can.
58:54
Speaker 11: Have peace in the Middle East instead of constant war,
58:56
Speaker 11: which we've had since I don't know I end of
58:58
Speaker 11: World War one, change the whole world. The whole world
59:02
Speaker 11: would have a major flashpoint. That's just sort of taken
59:05
Speaker 11: off the board of war. But then the third dimension
59:08
Speaker 11: of the chess is the energy part of the equation,
59:11
Speaker 11: where President Trump now controls obviously American energy independence and dominance.
59:16
Speaker 11: You know, we're now one of the world's leading, if
59:18
Speaker 11: not the leading export of oil and natural gas. We
59:21
Speaker 11: now control Venezuela's oil. We have our friends the golf
59:25
Speaker 11: Arab countries, which are major producers. We don't control their oil,
59:29
Speaker 11: but they're close friends and we work in conjunction with them,
59:31
Speaker 11: as you said at the beginning. And then the final
59:34
Speaker 11: piece of this is could be if a different Iran
59:37
Speaker 11: is cooperating with the United States to develop their energy,
59:40
Speaker 11: then we would really have oversight of seventy five percent
59:44
Speaker 11: of the world's oil and natural gas.
59:46
Speaker 2: And then the fourth.
59:47
Speaker 11: Dimension of this is the China dimension, the country and
59:51
Speaker 11: it's really between the United States and China, which gets
59:54
Speaker 11: to artificial intelligence and quantum computing. First, is the country
59:57
Speaker 11: that controls the future. And what do you need for
1:00:01
Speaker 11: quantum computing and artificial intelligence? You need two things, technology,
1:00:05
Speaker 11: which we have. The Chinese have or leaders in that
1:00:08
Speaker 11: for the better leaders, but we're both there. Nobody else
1:00:10
Speaker 11: is anywhere near us. And then it's energy. And because
1:00:14
Speaker 11: artificial intelligence and quantum computing need massive amounts of energy
1:00:18
Speaker 11: for the computers.
1:00:19
Speaker 2: A lot of countries have energy.
1:00:21
Speaker 11: Russia has energy, We have energy, Iran has energy, But
1:00:25
Speaker 11: we're the only country that has both the technology and
1:00:28
Speaker 11: the energy.
1:00:29
Speaker 2: China doesn't have the energy. Yeah, they don't have oil.
1:00:31
Speaker 11: They don't have to import it, and they've gotten by
1:00:35
Speaker 11: by importing it at deeply discounted prices from Russia, Iran
1:00:39
Speaker 11: and Venezuela.
1:00:40
Speaker 2: But if they have to pay regular market rates.
1:00:42
Speaker 11: By Venezuela and Iran exactly, they may still have Russia.
1:00:48
Speaker 11: But then they're at a disadvantage in this new information
1:00:51
Speaker 11: age that we are rapidly moving into.
1:00:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, they're also putting dirty coal plants online one
1:00:59
Speaker 4: a week for the life past two years, and they're
1:01:01
Speaker 4: going to keep doing that for the foreseeable future because
1:01:04
Speaker 4: they don't have enough electricity to support their current grid,
1:01:07
Speaker 4: much less a new AI grid. So it's correct. It's
1:01:10
Speaker 4: a lot of trouble, Katie. I always learned so much
1:01:12
Speaker 4: from talking to you. Thank you for spending some time
1:01:14
Speaker 4: with us.
1:01:15
Speaker 11: You got it.
1:01:16
Speaker 2: It's a pleasure in a honor.
1:01:17
Speaker 4: Thank you always. Kevin mccallach coming right back from New York.
1:01:20
Speaker 4: Stay here, let's stick around for.
1:01:32
Speaker 1: More of that Kevin next here he is from New York.
1:01:53
Speaker 1: That Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
1:01:58
Speaker 4: Welcome back to Times Square. Kevin Pella, that Kevin Show,
1:02:02
Speaker 4: that kevinshow dot Com for everything related, never behind a paywall,
1:02:05
Speaker 4: always accessible, podcast, column, TV show, It's all there. Go
1:02:10
Speaker 4: check it out. You know that Every week we check
1:02:12
Speaker 4: in with the Heritage Foundation on a wide variety of
1:02:14
Speaker 4: different issues, but I only we've ever touched this one,
1:02:17
Speaker 4: in particular, women faith, the intersection of faith and the
1:02:23
Speaker 4: marketplace and politics and all that's going on there. This
1:02:27
Speaker 4: is a book that is written for folks that are
1:02:30
Speaker 4: in that boat, if you will. It's titled Lead Like JL,
1:02:34
Speaker 4: Seven Timeless Principles for Women of Faith. Emma Waters is
1:02:37
Speaker 4: its author and she joins us now and she's great
1:02:40
Speaker 4: with child. Very soon, very soon, another one will be here,
1:02:44
Speaker 4: making it your third So am I guess you're qualified
1:02:47
Speaker 4: to talk about nearly everything in the female experience. So
1:02:50
Speaker 4: this is this is good, But why did you write
1:02:53
Speaker 4: the book?
1:02:54
Speaker 7: So?
1:02:55
Speaker 5: Most conservative women or conservative leaning women don't relate to
1:02:59
Speaker 5: the category worries of girl boss feminism, which says that
1:03:02
Speaker 5: you should put your career first and family on hold.
1:03:05
Speaker 5: And they don't necessarily relate to the tradwife's movement or
1:03:09
Speaker 5: traditional wife, which is this very online phenomenon of what
1:03:13
Speaker 5: being a homesteader or an ideal woman can look like,
1:03:16
Speaker 5: which can oftentimes be very nostalgic and maybe not translate
1:03:19
Speaker 5: into our everyday high tech society very well. And so
1:03:22
Speaker 5: in the gap. There are so many women who are
1:03:25
Speaker 5: asking the question of what does it mean to be
1:03:27
Speaker 5: a faithful, wise, and godly woman who prioritizes my family first,
1:03:31
Speaker 5: who's smart and has passions and interests that they're interested
1:03:35
Speaker 5: in and dedicated to, and yet don't want to do
1:03:39
Speaker 5: it at the expense of the family. They want a
1:03:42
Speaker 5: model that really speaks to where they are today. A
1:03:44
Speaker 5: silent majority of women really fall into this category, and
1:03:48
Speaker 5: yet they lack the tools and lifestrip necessary to make
1:03:51
Speaker 5: sense of it. And as you mentioned at the beginning,
1:03:53
Speaker 5: I am a wife and a mother. We're expecting our
1:03:56
Speaker 5: third and yet when my now husband and I were dating,
1:03:59
Speaker 5: I had a very fearful response to the idea of
1:04:03
Speaker 5: having children, so fearful that I actually broke up with
1:04:06
Speaker 5: him right as we were planning to get engaged because
1:04:08
Speaker 5: I was terrified that having children would be the end
1:04:11
Speaker 5: of everything I cared about. And if I, a conservative Christian,
1:04:15
Speaker 5: had that kind of fearful response, imagine how bad it
1:04:19
Speaker 5: is for everyone else who maybe doesn't have those tools
1:04:22
Speaker 5: already in the toolbox, and who's bearing the cost of this.
1:04:26
Speaker 5: It's younger men and women who feel so alone in
1:04:30
Speaker 5: their pursuit of these things and their ability to make
1:04:33
Speaker 5: sense of them. I think you're seeing a really interesting
1:04:35
Speaker 5: trend among younger men and women where they're looking at
1:04:38
Speaker 5: the fruit of millennial feminism and they're saying, Oh, you
1:04:43
Speaker 5: have sacrificed everything for pants, suits and your C suite
1:04:46
Speaker 5: experience and this career first approach, But what do you
1:04:50
Speaker 5: actually have at the end of the day. What do
1:04:52
Speaker 5: you have when you are fired from your job, when
1:04:54
Speaker 5: you retire, when you go home at the end of
1:04:57
Speaker 5: the day. And they're seeing the emptiness and loneliness that
1:05:00
Speaker 5: has come from that generation, and they're starting to ask, well,
1:05:03
Speaker 5: what if it doesn't have to be this way? And
1:05:05
Speaker 5: you're precisely right. This isn't a message that therefore you
1:05:08
Speaker 5: as a woman should only get married and have kids
1:05:10
Speaker 5: and that's all you're meant to do. It's quite the
1:05:13
Speaker 5: opposite of that, because the case that I make and
1:05:15
Speaker 5: lead like Jail, and I think the case that has
1:05:17
Speaker 5: been so life giving, is that you want to prioritize
1:05:20
Speaker 5: first things, first to be open to marriage, to be
1:05:23
Speaker 5: open to children, and then to be fully present in
1:05:27
Speaker 5: investing in those responsibilities and duties, especially when you have
1:05:31
Speaker 5: younger kids, and they demand more of your time and
1:05:34
Speaker 5: focus than they will as they get older. But imagine
1:05:37
Speaker 5: how great and sweet life is is if by putting
1:05:40
Speaker 5: first things first and prioritizing marriage and children as the
1:05:43
Speaker 5: cornerstone of your life, not merely a capstone that as
1:05:46
Speaker 5: life progresses and you pursue other outlets or jobs or passions,
1:05:50
Speaker 5: no matter what happens in the public space, you always
1:05:53
Speaker 5: have that firm foundation of your faith and of your
1:05:56
Speaker 5: family to really sustain you and ultimately give you that
1:05:59
Speaker 5: since purpose and meaning that every person desires. And that's
1:06:03
Speaker 5: not only a vision that's attainable for men and women today,
1:06:06
Speaker 5: but it's something that should be aspirational that we should
1:06:09
Speaker 5: be encouraging them towards as the best expression of what
1:06:12
Speaker 5: it means to be a thriving man, a thriving woman,
1:06:16
Speaker 5: and even a biblical woman in so many ways.
1:06:18
Speaker 4: I think it starts with the fundamental idea. And this
1:06:21
Speaker 4: is very controversy. I don't know why it is that
1:06:24
Speaker 4: men and women are fundamentally different. Yeah, we're not designed
1:06:27
Speaker 4: to act the same way or to be the same thing.
1:06:29
Speaker 5: Right, completely agree, And as you said earlier, if you
1:06:33
Speaker 5: sell women a masculine life script that tells them that
1:06:36
Speaker 5: to be successful they have to mirror a male progression
1:06:40
Speaker 5: of work success career. Then you're fundamentally setting them up
1:06:43
Speaker 5: for failure because you're not honoring their unique gifts and
1:06:47
Speaker 5: abilities as women. And so that's really central to the
1:06:51
Speaker 5: case I make and lead like Jail, so very similar
1:06:53
Speaker 5: to your book. Actually, I take the approach of looking
1:06:56
Speaker 5: at seven principles or seven virtues that I think are
1:06:59
Speaker 5: essential for women to cultivate today, and I orient them
1:07:02
Speaker 5: in the Bible, and in particular highlight one key woman
1:07:06
Speaker 5: in the Bible who really embodies that virtue as both
1:07:10
Speaker 5: a story and the practical application of this is how
1:07:12
Speaker 5: it looked for this woman in the Bible, Here's how
1:07:14
Speaker 5: we apply it to our lives today, and then practically,
1:07:17
Speaker 5: here's what you can do with it in the sort
1:07:19
Speaker 5: of tent peg strategy as I call it. But it's
1:07:22
Speaker 5: because of that central it's one of the central points
1:07:24
Speaker 5: I make throughout the book is that God actually equips
1:07:27
Speaker 5: women to be the most effective in the work he
1:07:30
Speaker 5: has called them to, not because they check their femininity
1:07:33
Speaker 5: at their door, but it's when they actually embrace those
1:07:37
Speaker 5: primary callings of marriage, motherhood, homemaking, and develop those women
1:07:41
Speaker 5: in virtues that they are actually best equipped for the
1:07:45
Speaker 5: work God has for them. So very briefly, what are
1:07:48
Speaker 5: those virtues or principles that are so important for today.
1:07:51
Speaker 5: It's things like discernment, shrewdness, resourcefulness, the gift of hospitality,
1:07:57
Speaker 5: marriage as a battle mate, not a battle of the sexes, motherhood,
1:08:02
Speaker 5: and then the role of older, wiser women as counselors
1:08:06
Speaker 5: and negotiators. Take those seven things and you have a
1:08:10
Speaker 5: very strong society, a strong identity about what it looks
1:08:13
Speaker 5: like to be a woman. But if you remove any
1:08:16
Speaker 5: of those things, you basically get our culture and where
1:08:19
Speaker 5: they are today.
1:08:20
Speaker 4: And take a quick break, be right back. We're speaking
1:08:23
Speaker 4: with Emma Waters. The book is LEAD like JL seven,
1:08:25
Speaker 4: Timeless Principles for Women of Faith, and the book just
1:08:29
Speaker 4: came out this week, so grab your copy and we'll
1:08:32
Speaker 4: be right back to going away.
1:08:50
Speaker 1: Here he is from New York that Kevin McCullough.
1:09:00
Speaker 4: Welcome back, Kevin McCullough, Very glad to have you with us.
1:09:02
Speaker 11: It is.
1:09:04
Speaker 4: I think tremendously encouraging for someone as young as Emma
1:09:08
Speaker 4: Waters to be writing this book Lead Like JL seven
1:09:11
Speaker 4: timeless principles for women of faith. And we were talking
1:09:15
Speaker 4: in the last segment, uh Emma, and I could, I
1:09:17
Speaker 4: could do an entire two hour show with you, because
1:09:19
Speaker 4: I think there's so much that that we we see
1:09:23
Speaker 4: the world in common for We want we just want
1:09:25
Speaker 4: to help. Please just let us help. We know some
1:09:29
Speaker 4: of the answers to these things. But you were talking
1:09:31
Speaker 4: about the things that women when they embrace them their lives,
1:09:37
Speaker 4: you know, they produce more satisfaction not just for them,
1:09:40
Speaker 4: but for their families and for the society. And you
1:09:42
Speaker 4: were talking about nurturing and some of the things. You know,
1:09:46
Speaker 4: men are the same way when they embrace protection and provision.
1:09:50
Speaker 4: All of the rest of the priorities for how they
1:09:53
Speaker 4: view the world can fall into line if they if
1:09:57
Speaker 4: they understand stewardship and kind of the wing under which
1:10:00
Speaker 4: they're responsible for their family. And what I love about
1:10:04
Speaker 4: the seven things that you denoted that the book addresses
1:10:09
Speaker 4: is that they all work in harmony with something that
1:10:12
Speaker 4: is distinct in the man's life. So when the man
1:10:16
Speaker 4: is confused about something and he knows he has a
1:10:18
Speaker 4: shrewd but wise partner that he can discuss things with,
1:10:22
Speaker 4: and they make decisions as a family about he doesn't
1:10:25
Speaker 4: feel isolated or made to feel like an idiot or
1:10:28
Speaker 4: in some way demeaned or put off to the side.
1:10:31
Speaker 4: We've done a really good job of that with modern feminism.
1:10:33
Speaker 4: We've told men, yeah, abortions available, You're really not needed,
1:10:37
Speaker 4: so you know, go check it, like we just don't.
1:10:39
Speaker 4: We just don't need you. I love I love everything
1:10:42
Speaker 4: about your book, and I want people to get it.
1:10:45
Speaker 4: I want them to read it because I think if
1:10:47
Speaker 4: we can heal the divide in understanding the distinctions between
1:10:52
Speaker 4: the two genders, the two sexes. But we also encourage
1:10:55
Speaker 4: women to say, hey, it's not what you think. There's
1:10:59
Speaker 4: a lot of hope and life and fun and good
1:11:03
Speaker 4: things on the other side of this. It's just a
1:11:05
Speaker 4: message they don't get anywhere else.
1:11:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is exactly right, because what do you get
1:11:10
Speaker 5: when you click around in our modern culture You see
1:11:13
Speaker 5: an article by the cut that says, why I regret
1:11:16
Speaker 5: having my children, and it's women who seem to be
1:11:19
Speaker 5: struggling with legitimate mental illnesses talking about why children ruin
1:11:23
Speaker 5: their life and taking their own struggles and blaming their
1:11:26
Speaker 5: children for them. Or you have articles about how it's
1:11:29
Speaker 5: irresponsible to have children because of our so called climate
1:11:32
Speaker 5: crisis today, or children will take your time, your money,
1:11:35
Speaker 5: your body, your sense of self, good luck ever putting
1:11:38
Speaker 5: on makeup and getting a good night's sleep. Again, it's
1:11:40
Speaker 5: these very negative messages about everything that a child takes
1:11:44
Speaker 5: from you, not to mention about what they say about
1:11:47
Speaker 5: men and husbands and you know, heaven forbids submitting to
1:11:51
Speaker 5: your own husband and honoring him as the head of
1:11:54
Speaker 5: your household. These are things that are completely unheard of,
1:11:56
Speaker 5: and even in some parts of the church where even
1:11:59
Speaker 5: that's been pushed back against. And it's in part because
1:12:03
Speaker 5: we're not seeing these beautiful, positive examples of it really
1:12:08
Speaker 5: highlighted both in our public sphere and in our private
1:12:11
Speaker 5: lives and our churches as well. And I think this
1:12:14
Speaker 5: is where some of the difficulty can come. Because women,
1:12:18
Speaker 5: their virtue, their excellence tends to shine in the private sphere,
1:12:22
Speaker 5: which is to say, the church, the whole, in the community,
1:12:25
Speaker 5: but that's not necessarily the sphere that you're seeing broadcasted
1:12:28
Speaker 5: on social media or television or nighttime news. And so
1:12:32
Speaker 5: if you're a young woman who's out in the world,
1:12:34
Speaker 5: who's graduating college, getting her first job, it can sometimes
1:12:38
Speaker 5: feel like there just aren't those models available to you
1:12:41
Speaker 5: because they're not in the places that you're spending most
1:12:43
Speaker 5: of your time. And so not only do I think
1:12:46
Speaker 5: do we need to see this restoration of marriage as battlemates,
1:12:50
Speaker 5: not battle of the sexes, but I think chapter seven
1:12:54
Speaker 5: on the role of wise godly women is one of
1:12:56
Speaker 5: the key answers, which is to say, old women investing,
1:13:01
Speaker 5: mentoring and mothering younger women to teach them and show
1:13:05
Speaker 5: them what is good. There was a study done in
1:13:08
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five by Barna that Christianity Today in a
1:13:11
Speaker 5: number of outlets highlighted that found that young men are
1:13:15
Speaker 5: far more religious than young women are today. They're more
1:13:18
Speaker 5: likely to read their Bible, to pray, to go to church.
1:13:21
Speaker 5: Young women, however, are more religiously unaffiliated by a pretty
1:13:27
Speaker 5: solid percentage. And yet the interesting thing is that Barness
1:13:30
Speaker 5: said that the reason so many young women seem to
1:13:33
Speaker 5: be struggling and disconnecting from the church and faith is
1:13:36
Speaker 5: because they feel lonely and don't feel like they have
1:13:38
Speaker 5: meaningful models connecting with them. So they said, if we
1:13:41
Speaker 5: saw a generation of older, wiser women, whether that's ten
1:13:44
Speaker 5: years or forty years older, investing in those younger women
1:13:48
Speaker 5: that could be the key to this revival in faith
1:13:51
Speaker 5: and family that we're seeing.
1:13:52
Speaker 4: Among The problem is where do you find them? Because
1:13:55
Speaker 4: the modern feminist movement, which I don't confuse with class feminism.
1:14:00
Speaker 4: I'm a classic feminist. I believe that women have the
1:14:03
Speaker 4: right to vote and own land and you know, operate businesses.
1:14:08
Speaker 4: But modern feminism didn't go there. It went into a
1:14:12
Speaker 4: direction where it said men and women are substitutionable, substitutable
1:14:17
Speaker 4: for each other, and that there's no distinction. So if
1:14:21
Speaker 4: you have a generation of modern feminists that have dictated
1:14:26
Speaker 4: the terms even in the church, I'm thinking of churches
1:14:30
Speaker 4: in the community that I live in, where you know,
1:14:34
Speaker 4: women volunteer planned parenthood as opposed to you know, the
1:14:38
Speaker 4: crisis pregnancy center. It's kind of bizarre, but it happens.
1:14:42
Speaker 4: We need older women that actually have wisdom to come
1:14:46
Speaker 4: forward and say yes, we're here, because I do think
1:14:49
Speaker 4: that that would be a huge asset for the younger
1:14:52
Speaker 4: women today.
1:14:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, this is a huge phenomenon I've seen is
1:14:56
Speaker 5: something that I call feminism for the but not for me,
1:15:00
Speaker 5: which is where these women who have lived traditional lives
1:15:03
Speaker 5: turn around to the younger generation and say, but for you,
1:15:06
Speaker 5: you should pursue your career, enjoy being single, delay marriage,
1:15:10
Speaker 5: don't worry about having kids. And it's the complete inversion
1:15:13
Speaker 5: of the message you should see from your mother, grandmother,
1:15:16
Speaker 5: other older women in the church. And yet they're not
1:15:19
Speaker 5: taking this opportunity that you're describing to really invest and
1:15:23
Speaker 5: mentor they just want to be friends with the next
1:15:25
Speaker 5: generation and actually enable some of the worst impulses that
1:15:29
Speaker 5: we see rather than correcting them.
1:15:32
Speaker 4: That is that is very discouraging. So what's the main
1:15:37
Speaker 4: takeaway that you want people to get from lead Like JL, the.
1:15:44
Speaker 5: Main takeaway is simple, put first things first, honor your
1:15:47
Speaker 5: faith in your family, do what is good for your nation,
1:15:50
Speaker 5: and it is in that that you will find the
1:15:52
Speaker 5: greatest calling and satisfaction of meaning that your life so desires.
1:15:57
Speaker 4: I think you're right, and I've got three of those
1:16:00
Speaker 4: meetings running around the house that we wouldn't trade for
1:16:04
Speaker 4: anything in the world. We could probably have a lot
1:16:06
Speaker 4: bigger house if we didn't have those three meetings, but
1:16:09
Speaker 4: we have those three meaningful meetings running around every day,
1:16:12
Speaker 4: and you'll soon have your third. So thank you for
1:16:14
Speaker 4: taking time to be with us today. Really grateful.
1:16:17
Speaker 5: First, thank you for having me on.
1:16:18

1:16:44
Speaker 8: it up with a no drink minim.
1:16:48
Speaker 4: It's that Kevin Show, all right, Welcome back, final few
1:16:53
Speaker 4: minutes of today's broadcast. Kevin mccallough. Very glad to have
1:16:56
Speaker 4: you with us, and thank you for being here, and
1:17:00
Speaker 4: thank you for telling your friends, and thank you for
1:17:01
Speaker 4: helping get the word out. We continue to grow, four
1:17:04
Speaker 4: hundred and sixteen radio affiliates across the country, one hundred
1:17:07
Speaker 4: and fifty four TV affiliates. We're in more than one
1:17:11
Speaker 4: hundred million households with that Kevin Show on the weekend
1:17:13
Speaker 4: on all the OTT devices. And I'm just grateful. I
1:17:17
Speaker 4: just can't say thank you enough. And I'm really grateful
1:17:20
Speaker 4: for those of you that have stepped up and made
1:17:22
Speaker 4: a difference. We are closing in on only one hundred
1:17:27
Speaker 4: children yet to feed for next year to hit our
1:17:31
Speaker 4: goal of seven hundred and twenty kids. So thank you
1:17:34
Speaker 4: for those of you that have that have just been
1:17:36
Speaker 4: so faithful to help us on that path, and I
1:17:39
Speaker 4: just couldn't be more grateful. But if you have not
1:17:42
Speaker 4: yet given, we still have one hundred kids that are
1:17:44
Speaker 4: not yet claimed. Eight fiy five nine oh seven four
1:17:47
Speaker 4: six seven three is the number. Eight five five nine
1:17:50
Speaker 4: zero seven four six seven three. All right out of
1:17:55
Speaker 4: Texas today, Move over McDonald's, move over burning for what
1:18:02
Speaker 4: is being called the best value burger in America, according
1:18:06
Speaker 4: to a new online lender. I don't know why they
1:18:10
Speaker 4: do these things, but I do find it to be
1:18:13
Speaker 4: incredibly funny. Now, I will tell you a fast food burgers,
1:18:18
Speaker 4: which I do believe that there's there's an argument to
1:18:21
Speaker 4: be made that fast food burgers and gourmet burgers shouldn't
1:18:27
Speaker 4: compete against each other. Like the local, you know, watering
1:18:31
Speaker 4: hole down the street that's got the pub burger. You
1:18:34
Speaker 4: don't want to compare that to you know, Burger King,
1:18:39
Speaker 4: and Burger King knows, by the way, that they've been
1:18:40
Speaker 4: in trouble because I don't know if you saw the
1:18:42
Speaker 4: commercials during the Super Bowl and during the Oscars and
1:18:46
Speaker 4: everybody else, but they were like, we're sorry, we make
1:18:48
Speaker 4: such terrible burgers. It was kind of a it was
1:18:51
Speaker 4: kind of refreshing that you know, a company was actually
1:18:54
Speaker 4: kind of owning its problems and saying, hey, we could
1:18:57
Speaker 4: have done a lot better than we did. Sorry about that.
1:19:00
Speaker 4: But having said that, my bride is from southern California,
1:19:04
Speaker 4: and those of you in southern California, you know that
1:19:07
Speaker 4: there's only one burger two people that grew up in
1:19:09
Speaker 4: southern California in the fast food sense that you could
1:19:12
Speaker 4: ever eat, and it's called in and Out. And then
1:19:16
Speaker 4: if you go over to Washington, d C. And the
1:19:19
Speaker 4: East Coast, they have these places called five Guys. It's
1:19:22
Speaker 4: pretty good, and you know, it's it's it's, it's it's interesting.
1:19:28
Speaker 4: You know where you in New York, you've got the
1:19:30
Speaker 4: Shakeshack that tries to have the best fast food burger.
1:19:34
Speaker 4: But it's usually the big chains that get pulled into
1:19:36
Speaker 4: these these contests online.
1:19:39
Speaker 11: And so.
1:19:40
Speaker 4: Not to McDonald's, not Burger King, but a chain that
1:19:49
Speaker 4: used to have a Country and Western singer actually sing
1:19:56
Speaker 4: their jingle. But if you if you, if you go there,
1:20:01
Speaker 4: if you're in Texas, you've seen these. You've seen them everywhere.
1:20:06
Speaker 4: The fourteen best value burgers and chains per the study. Well,
1:20:11
Speaker 4: let's see what we got here we got, I'll just
1:20:14
Speaker 4: do the top ten. The Junior Jack cheeseburger from Jack
1:20:17
Speaker 4: in the Box had a few of those growing up.

1:20:24
Speaker 4: Original cheeseburger from Dairy Queen was number eight. Cheeseburger from

Speaker 4: The Deluxe single from Culver's is number six, Number five.
1:20:37
Speaker 4: Dave's single cheeseburger from Wendy's. My son loves that. He

1:20:45
Speaker 4: are on it, and he says they're fresh and they're yummy.
1:20:48
