• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Here, Welcome aboard, Kevin mccallough. Glad have you with us.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It's the Wednesday edition. Lots of interesting stuff to get
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to in the next two hours. I really do. It's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: one of these things where people have asked, keV, do
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you enjoy doing the show that you do now? And
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I have to say, I enjoyed doing this show more
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: than I've ever enjoyed doing any of the shows I've
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: ever done. And you're the biggest reason why, because those
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of you that listen and interact with us and respond
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and do all the things that you do make it
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: exceedingly special. But when I was a kid growing up
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: listening to Rush Limbaugh, I thought I was going to be, like,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you know, the big conservative talk radio star, And it
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was pretty clear that that wasn't going to be my
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: permanent path because I really enjoyed talking about my faith
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and faith and news talk didn't seem to work in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: markets where I was growing up, and so I just
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: tried to get better at being a great talk show
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: host on all levels. And then as I joined Salem
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a few years ago and had a chance to dip
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: my toe in the water of doing daily talk radio,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: loved that, met a lot of icons, Barry Farber and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: others in the business, and then went away from Salem
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: for a little while and started my own syndication work
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and got up on running on a bunch of stations
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: on the weekend, and that was fun. And then Salem
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: brought me back Phil Boyce. I guess he was just
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a glutton for punishment. He said, I want to work
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: with that Kevin guy, and I'm joking by the way.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I was humbled and astonished that Phil Boyce, who's kind
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of a king maker in our business, even knew what
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I was doing. So the fact that he should to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: any interest at all was a humbling thing that I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: was thankful for. But then when we started talking about
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: bringing the show to the network and to the nation,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: in the spots where we're at, in some places we're
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in for Eric Mataxis, where Eric Texas was, in some
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: places wherein where Charlie Kirk was, and for those of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you on those stations who have been nothing but incredibly
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: gracious and so kind. I just my heart is full.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And when I tell you what's on today's show, you
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: may think, well, that's an odd combination of stuff. It is,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing, because I'm passionate about all of it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I want you to be passionate about all of it
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: because it's something that I find of interest and I'm
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: going to try to make it an interesting storytelling experience
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: for you. I hope that it does. But at the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: end of the day, I love talking about my faith.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I love talking about the issues that we face in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the country today, in the world today. I love talking
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: about what's going well, and I love helping us figure
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: out how to do it better. So in the next
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: couple of hours, we're going to talk about wellness. We've
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: got an incredible dynamo, doctor Laura Perty. If you've never
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: heard her on my show, she is just incredible. But
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk with her about a very wide
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: range of health things. We're also going to talk about
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a major ruling from the Supreme Court that didn't get
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of play because the War is sucking up
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: all the oxygen. The thing I love about this show,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I can tell you all the latest that's going on
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: in the War, and I can tell you about stuff
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that's going on in the Supreme Court that every parent
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in the country is going to care about. I promise you,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: especially if you're a parent in California, you're gonna care
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: about what I have to tell you about that coming up.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And then we're entering I don't know if you've noticed this,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: we're entering a season where Lent leading up to Holy Week,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: people are starting to think about spiritual things in a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: way that maybe they haven't been in recent weeks or months.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And there's a new initiative that I am in cooperation
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: with a group called Open the Bible in where we're
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: going to try to get the Gospel told on people
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: personal devices and TV screens and on their radios and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: in their podcasts listening in a way that's never been
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: attempted before. We want to have one hundred million people
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: be exposed to the Gospel between now and Resurrection Sunday,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm hopeful that you will help us in doing it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: We're not asking you for a dime to get any
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of that done. By the way, Open the Bible is
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: doing all the heavy lifting gonna I'm gonna wave the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: flag for it, but ultimately the work is going to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: be yours. We're going to give you some tools. You
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: can organize events in your home. You can have a private, quiet,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: one on one night with maybe just a friend. You've
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: been trying to tell about the good news, but it
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: is it is the time of year where we have
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the good news retold for us. And along those lines,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: how do we live today? We're going to take another
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: step into the story of the Prodigal Son, and Bishop
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Hugh Nelson is going to be with us from New York.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: We're going to look at the father in that story.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And the thing about the father in the story of
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the prodigal Son is that that dude had every reason
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to hate his son and to be unkind and to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: be judgmental, and to do all the stuff that I
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: would probably want to do if I was a dad,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: if my son came to me and said, Dad, I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: wish you were dead, Like, I don't know how grateful
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I would be. Actually, I would hope that I would
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: be gracious and kind and compassionate. But the story that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: we're looking at, the aspect of the story we're looking
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: at today, I just as I was studying it just
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: ripped my heart out. So hang on because that's coming
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: up next. And then we're going to talk about being
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: strategic this this Holy Week season as we're just closing
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: in now, as Lint is underway and we're getting closer
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to Holy Week all the time. But let me get
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you cut up on what's going on in the news,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: because there there's a lot of stuff happening and just
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: some highlights. The US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth says
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that we have sank sunk. The US Navy has sunk
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the prized Iranian battle flagship that they have in their navy.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: There is a ship that they are very very proud of,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and we have we hit it twice and it is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: now on the bottom of the ocean, and that's a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: good place for it to be, and we're winning on that.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: The Secretary of War also announcing today that you may
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: remember that the Iranians had threatened to assassinate President Trump,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and there's still some question as to whether or not
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: they were behind one or more of the assassination attempts
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: against Trump in recent months. Well, the leader that was
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: behind that effort from the Iranian side has been hunted
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: down and now killed in the Iran war actions. So
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that's a positive and I think that it's going to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: be very very interesting to see how many more kind
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of ancillary benefits we get to the war on Terror,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: because we're eliminating everybody that was part of that evil,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: heinous regime. On the Supreme Court front, by the way,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: not only have they ruled in favor of parents on
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a very important ruling. But they are also announcing that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Scotus will determine the San Jose State University volleyball scandal
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: outcome after the judge there kind of just gave a
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: free pass to the wrongdoers. So you got a lot
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of stuff related to helping protect and keep our kids safe.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot of winning on the warfront that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: is happening as we're kicking off today's show, and we've
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: got a lot of really, really great things to talk about.
• 8:41

• 10:15
  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back. It's Kevin McCullough. It's Wednesday edition
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: of That Kevin Show, that Kevinshow dot com. And we
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: stop every week at this time, every day, at this
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: time to just ask the big question, how do we live?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: How do we live in a culture that despises God?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: How do we live in a culture that really has
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: no use for his word because it's full of rules?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: And how do we live in a culture that looks
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: at us as though we are in some way deficient
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: because we follow that word and we love that God.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad to have Bishop Hugh Nelson back with us,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and he is the pastor of the Evening Ebenezer Urban
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Ministry Center in Brooklyn. Wonderful congregation, doing great work. And Bishop,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: always appreciate the time that you and I have to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: be together. We've been looking at the prodigal Son this
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: week from Luke chapter fifteen, and yesterday we talked a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: lot about the kind of arrogance and the stubbornness that
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the son begins this story with, but then we moved
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to the father and the father is seen in a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: couple of different places in this story. He's seen at
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: first being petitioned by the son, and he kind of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: responds in a way that, really, if you understand the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: cultural significance of it, it really defies human reaction, because
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: in essence, the son was telling the father, I wish
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you were dead, I want my stuff, and I wish
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that you weren't here anymore. And yet the father doesn't
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: respond with anything other than gentleness, and later we see
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: that gentleness enacted on behalf of the Father in a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: couple of different places as he relates to both sons.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: But take us inside the character of who this father
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: is in this story and why his reactions matter so much.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Kevin, and I'm surely always a pleasure now
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: as we're looky. Of course, in the past couple of
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: days we looked at the horror of a renegade son
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: who was so entitled. Today we want to focus on
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: the heart of the loving Father. I think somehow it
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: is difficult, and at least in my journey to really
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: capture the essence of the compassionate heart that God has
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: towards us. I like what one person said, to some degree,
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: the first picture of God one sees is the Father,
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: their biological father. To some level, when we think when
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: we pray our Father, who are in heaven, our minds
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: immediately reflect on our relationship with our earthly father, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: so in many ways we oftentimes think of the word love,
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: but love in terms of conditions. You know, even as children,
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: when you're doing right, you feel the sense of men
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: being special. But when you mess up, all of a
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: suddenly you feel the punitive side. And many times we
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: confuse the love of God with the love we were
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: exposed to the appearance, and so I found it quite
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: ironic that Christ painted a picture because he wanted us
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: to understand the love of God so far exceeds the
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: kind of love you and I have been exposed to.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And so here we find.
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: A son, a rebellious son, of course, as you said,
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: wasted his father's inheritance, and the fact that he even
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: demanded his inheritance meant I really don't care if you're alive.
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: And so here we find the father responding in compassion.
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: The Bible said, when the son was yet a far
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: way off, the father saw him. Now you can imagine
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: this young man left in his up uppul and said,
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: dom it's royal attire. But on his return he looked
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: everything different from what he left. The love of God
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: is unconditional, and it's nothing we can do to earn it.
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: But when we look at how we live, many times
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: the unspoken theology is that we still try to earn
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: what God.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Has so freely given.
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: And so we find this father embracing his son just
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: where he was, and when he brought him into his home,
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: he immediately instructed his servants get him cleaned up, play
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: he plays the robe on his shoulders, a ring on
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: his finger, and shoes on his feet, And I mean,
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: as a pastor, you and I know you begin to
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: go and you imagination begin to go even further, and
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: you think, wait a minute. This broken man return so defeated,
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: he had come to the end of his rope. But
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: when his father received him, he placed on his shoulders
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: is royal rope, reminding him your condition, your shame is
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: now covered. And that's the kind of love God has
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: towards us, that it doesn't matter how we mess up,
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: it doesn't matter how we fail. When we come to
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: a place of repentance and we return to our father,
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: he covers our shame. He plays a ring on his finger,
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: and in my mind it was a sense of reminding
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: him your authority as a son is now restored. And
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: he plays shoes on his feet. My gosh, And I mean,
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: I'm thinking, comes on, I'm placing this. I'm giving you
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: now shoes a fresh direction for your life. Some of
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: the greatest people I have known, some of the greatest
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: Christians I've ever met, were people who had been broken greatly,
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: and so when they are restored, there's a sense of hue,
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: a sense of humility that literally baffles those around them.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: And so many times I think, even in the church,
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: and I find as a pastor, we're still we're still
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: uncomfortable in how we restore or broken. Sometimes even after
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: they have repented and returned, we still have conditions. We
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: still as ourselves. Are they truly repentant? Should they be
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: restored the Father? When the sun sets, Father, forgive me.
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: I've seen against Heaven, I've seed against you. It goes son,
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: and that sense of identity covers everything.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: You're still my son.
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: You've messed up, you've wasted all that I've given on
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: to you, but you're back the sun I thought was dead,
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: it's now alive. Son, And just that designation. You may
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: have messed up, but you're still son. And I thought, man,
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: all that we could get in a deep sense that
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: even in our darkest moments and in our greatest failure,
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: it still sees us as son, as daughter. We may
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: beyond sure as to how we handle backsliders, but as
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: far as God is concerned, You're still son.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Bishop. I uh, I'm sitting here listening and on some
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: level weeping because I know that to be true. In
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: my own life. But beyond that, I'm thinking of people
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: that are hearing us today and they're talking about fathers
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: that have abandoned them. And in my own life, I've
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: had three fathers that have walked out on myself, and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: over the course of time, as my children have come
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and been blessings in my life, I see myself both
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: as the son and the story, but also as the father.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And I just want to encourage folks today to open
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: your heart and to try to love the way God
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: has loved you, and to try to love the way
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: this father loved the prodigal because we in this life
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: are unfinished, even as followers of Jesus. We won't be
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: perfectly perfected until heaven, and we have a chance to
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: impact people that are equally imperfect. And as we have
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: peered into the heart of this Father in this story,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I just pray that it convicts and helps and moves
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: people today. And Bishop, I want to say thank you
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: for bringing our attention to it, because it's one of
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the most hopeful messages that we can offer.
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: You know, some years ago God began to convict me.
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: He says, it doesn't matter which minister falls in reproach.
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: It doesn't matter which believer may fall into a place
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: of shame. Never forget you can never fall so deep
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: that you can recover, and you can never go so
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: far that you cannot come to yourself. And so we
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: are always reminded.
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: I think it was said that after a prominent minister
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: had fallen and one of the press journalists was speaking,
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: was Billy Gryam, and he says, well, what do you
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: think about that person? Expecting that he would walk through
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: you know, in his righteous indignation. He says no, He says,
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: it's just a simple reminder that if it could have
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: happened to him, it could also happen to me, for
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: all of us are broken people in need of God's
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: Chrisce say.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Man, all right, wow, what a great discussion, Bishop Nelson.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: We will talk to you again tomorrow. Thank you for
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: being here. Got to take a break. Kevin mccalloch coming
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: right back.
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: Stick around for more that Kevin next here he is
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: from New York. That Kevin McCullough. Welcome. It's Kevin mccallough.
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: Glad you're with us from Times Square.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: It is that time of year where I get really
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: excited about what is just in front of us. I
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: don't even know the number of years ago. I think
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: it was eleven, maybe twelve, maybe more than that, that
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: my next guest came into my life and we started
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: working on a project that I don't even think we
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: knew at the time really what it was going to become,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: but it ended up becoming something that I have had
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: an immense emotional and spiritual connection to every year, not
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: just because of the way it turned out, but the
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: way it impacts people consistently time after time. We're talking
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: about the biblical ubiquitous story of the Thief on the Cross,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and John i Elo is the president of Open the Bible,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: who is the organization that has produced this story in
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: a couple of really significant ways that has impacted people. John,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: it's good to see you again. Thank you for being here.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: To go back to that first year that we started
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: talking about this story, and there's a little pre story
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: before the story itself, and that involved you and your
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: dad and a message by a pastor in the Chicago area.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Take us back there and kind of show us the
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: introduction to where all this began.
• 22:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah, well, thank you, Kevin. It's great to be with
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: you as well, and this topic always is near and
• 22:34
  Speaker 11: dear to my heart as well. So I guess the
• 22:36
  Speaker 11: story really begins in late twenty eleven, of all things,
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: so fourteen plus years ago, and it began with a
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: sermon preached by Pastor Colin Smith, who I work with
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: very closely to open the Bible. In fact, he's the president.
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: I'm the executive director. I don't want to take anare okay,
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: my bad?
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: No?
• 22:53
  Speaker 11: But Pastor Colin preached a sermon called Breakfast with the
• 22:56
  Speaker 11: Devil Supper with the Savior, Pator collinssh and boy they
• 23:00
  Speaker 11: come up with great titles. What a great title to
• 23:03
  Speaker 11: tell the story. The thief on the cross, in and
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: of itself, woke up on his way to hell quite candidly,
• 23:08
  Speaker 11: going to be crucified and hung next to Jesus Christ.
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: And yet at the end of the day was ushered
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: into Heaven by our Lord and Savior himself.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: And so at people to understand. Not only was he
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: ushered in, he was the first absolutely believer of post
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Jesus death. He was the first one to experience the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: promise of heaven, and that in and of itself is
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: kind of important. We'll come back to that in a second,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: but finish out the I mean.
• 23:31
  Speaker 11: What does it say about about our savior right that
• 23:33
  Speaker 11: the first human ushered into heaven by his side was
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: a violent criminal who came through repentance to great faith.
• 23:41
  Speaker 12: So Patrick Collin Preachts' sermon.
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: My father, John Senior, happened to be battling renal cancer
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: at the time and had been coming to church with
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: us off and on.
• 23:51
  Speaker 12: I had a faith, but kind of a nominal faith.
• 23:53
  Speaker 11: Kevin and I paraphrased that sermon to my dad on
• 23:56
  Speaker 11: the phone that afternoon Sunday afternoon. We spent about ninety
• 23:59
  Speaker 11: minutes talking about this thief guy and from the Book
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: of Luke, chapter twenty three, if people aren't familiar with
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: the story, and it was absolutely transformational in terms of
• 24:08
  Speaker 11: the nature of our conversation. My dad was confronting his
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: own mortality as people we all will ultimately someday, and
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: something just clicked and it was a different kind of conversation.
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: I told Pastor Colin about it. Colin was a friend,
• 24:21
  Speaker 11: and I said, and Colin said, John, I'd love to
• 24:22
  Speaker 11: meet with your dad and just talk to him a
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: little bit. And sure enough we got together with my dad.
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: I wasn't there, and apparently my dad started telling Colin
• 24:30
  Speaker 11: the story of the thief on the crosses. I didn't
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: know it, which was great, and Colin asked my dad,
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: John Senior, you know, have you ever put your faith
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: in Jesus like this thief did? And my dad said, well, yeah,
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: I have, And Colin asked him when, and my dad said,
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: love last Sunday when I was talking to my son.
• 24:47
  Speaker 12: So I'll be the first to get emotional today, keV.
• 24:50
  Speaker 11: But pretty pretty extraordinary to step out and share the
• 24:54
  Speaker 11: Gospel with your dad and have a story from the
• 24:57
  Speaker 11: Bible so simple, so clean, so clear of what grace
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: is ultimately be what the Lord used to bring my
• 25:03
  Speaker 11: dad to him. And so my dad's in heaven today
• 25:05
  Speaker 11: for sure. And this project kind of was born out
• 25:08
  Speaker 11: of that whole story. There's a lot of people like
• 25:12
  Speaker 11: my father, maybe people watching listening today maybe have a
• 25:17
  Speaker 11: belief of who Jesus is and knowledge of who Jesus,
• 25:19
  Speaker 11: but who don't understand grace, who don't understand the completed
• 25:22
  Speaker 11: work of the Cross, and so heaven.
• 25:25
  Speaker 12: How I got here was.
• 25:26
  Speaker 11: An idea that started with reaching people like that with
• 25:29
  Speaker 11: this story, and so we built a little bit of
• 25:32
  Speaker 11: a fictional narrative around the story of the thief. Anything
• 25:34
  Speaker 11: that's in the Bible is always exactly as it is
• 25:36
  Speaker 11: in the Bible, but we wanted to build a story
• 25:39
  Speaker 11: about maybe what was this guy's background, Why might he
• 25:41
  Speaker 11: have been on that cross. Had to have been a
• 25:43
  Speaker 11: violent criminal to be crucified, so probably an angry guy, right,
• 25:47
  Speaker 11: you know, maybe angry at rome. And so we tell
• 25:49
  Speaker 11: the story and it became a book told in the
• 25:52
  Speaker 11: first person, So Heaven, How I got here? Literally from heaven,
• 25:55
  Speaker 11: the thief telling his own story. And this project has
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: just taken on so many different exciting forms over the years,
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: but it all started with a legit conversation one one
• 26:06
  Speaker 11: person to another, which is well.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: And the power of this story is in what we
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: teased just a second ago, and that is that here
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: was a guy who was the worst of the worst.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: He was in modern era, a terrorist, a rapist, a murderer.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: He was somebody who was scorned by society, looked down upon,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: just seen as a real threat. And that's why he
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: would have been receiving capital punishment for whatever crimes he
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: had committed, and thievery was probably among them, but probably
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: wasn't foremost, let's just leave it at that, but here's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the power. He didn't have a chance to join a
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Bible study or a men's group or a small group
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: or a Sunday school class, or serve on a ministry team,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: or share his faith with anyone else. This was literally
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: a guy who, after an end of life that had
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: been totally and completely self obsessed with his anger and
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: self pursuit, says to Jesus, I believe in you. Okay again.

  Speaker 1: kit form for the how Heaven How I Got Here
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: film and package that you can use this Holy season
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: to help bring someone to Jesus. John I ELO's with me.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: He's coming right back. Don't go anywhere here.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: He is from New York.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough, all right, very glad to have you with us.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: We are talking about Holy Week and the importance of
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: using capitalizing this time of season for the gospel for
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the purpose of the gospel, and John i Ello is
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: back with me here at that Kevin show. It doesn't
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: get much deeper and much more non negotiable than this guy.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: And yet Jesus said, it's not too late for you.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: And over the years you've explained it nicely. But we've
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: turned it into an audiobook that became a radio drama,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: it's been filmed as a live presentation, and there's even
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: hopes to maybe go further with the visual presentation of
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: it in the future. But this is a story that
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: every year that it gets played on the radio or
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: touches people in that way that you hear from more
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and more people. How many languages is it now in?
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: Well, so, the book itself translated into fifteen languages.
• 29:10
  Speaker 12: And then you alluded to both the radio.
• 29:13
  Speaker 11: Drama which has translated into several languages and has aired
• 29:16
  Speaker 11: around the world, but importantly a one man play that
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: Stephen Baldwin performed the earle of the Thief on the Cross,
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: and that one man play was filmed, and that film
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: performance has been translated into thirty languages at this point.
• 29:32
  Speaker 11: Last year we aired around the same time, Kevin. We
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: believe more than five million people saw it, and the
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: types of notes we got to your point of I
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: shared this with somebody in my life who doesn't net
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: no Christ, and it opened up conversations like we've never
• 29:45
  Speaker 11: had before, people saying I was living a.
• 29:48
  Speaker 12: Life that I was not proud of.
• 29:49
  Speaker 11: I thought God wanted nothing to do with me, and
• 29:52
  Speaker 11: yet I'm like that thief.
• 29:53
  Speaker 12: I want what he got. You know, the beauty of.
• 29:56
  Speaker 11: The clarity of Jesus Christ. He doesn't say to the thief, Hey,
• 30:00
  Speaker 11: you know, let's let's think this over for a while,
• 30:03
  Speaker 11: you know, I mean, let's take our time. Maybe we'll
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: sit it out for a month. He says, today you'll
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: be with me in Paradise. Today, you'll be with me
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: in Paris. It just so powerful to know what the
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: ultimate power of what Jesus Christ did at that cross.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Well, five million just last year. How many do we
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: have any estimations of how many people have heard it
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: or seen it over the course of the fourteen years.
• 30:24
  Speaker 12: No question.
• 30:24
  Speaker 11: The radio drama, which you actually worked on and produced
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: so wonderfully, Kevin, has been probably heard by more than
• 30:31
  Speaker 11: twenty million people over the years, and several different languages.
• 30:34
  Speaker 11: We've veried across the Salem Network, other radio channels globally, and.
• 30:38
  Speaker 12: It just keeps.
• 30:39
  Speaker 11: You know, it's a project that we renew every year
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: because it keeps doing new things every year. It's kind
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: of God's word. It doesn't get old, it doesn't get stale.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: And so well, we're excited, friends, because the reason that
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: John and I are telling you about this is that
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: we want to be even more proactive. We have not
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: we're not resting on laurels. We are in fact hungry
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: like hungry can be, and we have put together what
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: in essence is kind of a little WatchKit. It has
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the trailer that you could show your small group or
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: people that you're talking to. You could share it with
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: a neighbor or a relative, or someone that you have
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: even a more intimate relationship with. There will be I believe,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: a link to the full length film in English. If
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: you need it in other languages, you could send us
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: an email. We can probably get you hooked up with
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: some of the other languages that are going out there as.
• 31:31
  Speaker 12: All available for free.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: That'll be yeah, it's all available for free, but it
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: would just be a matter of making sure you had
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the right one and then maybe some study questions that
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: if you watch it and maybe your move to ask
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: some questions yourself. There's some study helps, or maybe there's
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: some people that you would watch it with that would
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: have questions you could pose to them and deepen the conversation.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: But what we really want to do is spread the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: hope that this story tells in a way that we've
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: never before. And so I'm going to ask you to
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: go to that kevinshow dot com and click the promotions
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: tab and where you see Heaven How I Got here?
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Click on that, Just give us your email address and
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: we'll shoot you back the little watch kit. It's in
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the form of an email. There's no cost to it
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: at all, but we'll get it to you. Get it
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: in your hands, and then between now and Holy Week,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: be thinking and praying and asking God, who do you
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: want me to show this to? How can I use
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: it in my own life? How many people may Maybe
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you have several gatherings in your home where you have
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: different groups of friends that want to see it. Maybe
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you've got work friends and school friends and other people.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Just use it to use it until it can't be
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: used anymore. Ring it out with youse. Between now and
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Resurrection Sunday because John, the hope is that the message
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, the joy of his redemption and salvation, take
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: holds it takes hold of everybody's heart that we can
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: reach with this story. And thank you to open the
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Bible for providing all of those materials for free. Want
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: to deepen that experience, and we just want to hope
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: and pray that a lot of people will be touched
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: and blessed between now and Eastern Yeah.
• 33:08
  Speaker 11: You know, you think back to the origins of this project, Kevin,
• 33:11
  Speaker 11: and hopefully everybody watching and listening can appreciate conversations with
• 33:15
  Speaker 11: people in their life. It doesn't need to be more
• 33:17
  Speaker 11: formal than just opening up a conversation and the story
• 33:20
  Speaker 11: just invites you into and I promise you if you
• 33:24
  Speaker 11: start the conversation, the Holy Spirit will give you the
• 33:26
  Speaker 11: right words.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you intimidating, it'll it'll go pretty well
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: from there if you will.
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: And what we've tried to do, you know, study questions
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: probably makes it sound even too formal or official.
• 33:36
  Speaker 12: They are that, but they're just conversation start. Yeah, yeah,
• 33:40
  Speaker 12: and you just watch a sixty.
• 33:41
  Speaker 11: Minute powerful performance from Steven you know, or even if
• 33:45
  Speaker 11: you're listening to the radio drama the different things that
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: we have, how do you start that conversation when that's over?
• 33:50
  Speaker 12: How do you begin to say, hey, you know, how
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: did that hit you?
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 33:53
  Speaker 12: And and what does that mean to you?
• 33:54
  Speaker 11: And we like the Thief, right, it gives you a
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: great opportunity to even confess yourself a bit like the
• 34:00
  Speaker 11: thief to someone who doesn't yet know Christ.
• 34:02
  Speaker 12: So I hope that and we'll pray.
• 34:04
  Speaker 11: We have a team that opened the Bible, that prays
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: mightily over these things, and so we'll be praying that
• 34:09
  Speaker 11: somebody Kevin in your audience listens, hears, watches, and then
• 34:14
  Speaker 11: opens that conversation. And we probably won't know any of
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: the fruits of that work until we are in heaven ourselves.
• 34:21
  Speaker 11: But what a great way to celebrate somewhere up there together,
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: even with the Thief.
• 34:25
  Speaker 12: If people brought to.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: All as the culture and the society are starting to
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: focus in on Lent and Holy Week, and there's a
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: kind of a natural turning of the culture to that
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: story and that time, and even people that aren't necessarily
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: religious become more reflective and you know, sometimes do open
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: up just friends as you're listening, just pray, Lord send
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: somebody across my path. I guarantee you he will answer
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: that prayer. If you spend twenty five seconds thinking about
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: it in your heart, you can probably think of someone
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: that you already know that you want to share this with.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: On that. Don't let that impulse that the Holy Spirit
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: puts in you, don't let that die out. Act on it,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: take action, and we've got everything you need for that
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: in this one little watch kit. And again, go to
• 35:11

• 35:16
  Speaker 1: free of charge. You can also if you want to
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: email me for more info. There's other things that open
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the Bible has to offer, and we don't have everything
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: online exactly yet the way we want it to. Over
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the next couple of days, that'll all be falling in place.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: But if you have any other questions about the translations
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: or the things, send those to that Kevinshow gmail dot com.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: More than happy to help you with that as well.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: John Ilo, you're going to talk to us a couple
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: of times between now and Easter. Thank you for being here.
• 35:40
  Speaker 12: And my pleasure, Kevin.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Kevin mccallough, coming right back from
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Times Square, Go away, stick around.
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: For more of that, Kevin next, serving it up with
• 36:02
  Speaker 9: a no drink mintial.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: It's that cabin show, all right, friends, Kelvin mccaullaugh. Glad
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: to be with you. And as we wrap up our
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: number one, just a couple of thoughts on some of
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the stuff that is happening in the news. You know,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: it's been interesting to watch the coverage of the war
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: because there have been a few voices that I wasn't
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: as aware of, but am becoming much more aware of
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: based on the coverage. A couple of voices. One has
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: been Mashi Alinashad And if you don't recognize the name,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: you'd probably recognize her look. She's got that really super
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: curly hair that she wears proudly without a head covering.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: She called out Kamala Harris, She said, who are you? No, honestly,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: who are you? A democrat who built your career talking
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: about women's rights, Yet you've stayed silent when more than
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: thirty thousand people, many of them women, were massacred, and
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: now suddenly you found your voice. Meaning she's spoken against
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the liberation of Iran. Another one, doctor Shila Nazarian, a
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Jewish Iranian who made a harrowing escape from Iran as
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: a child, said women have almost no rights in the
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: theocratic regime that has ruled in Iran for the last
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: forty seven years. Even leaving home requires quote permission from
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: a woman's husband, father, or closest male relative. All women
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: are subject to a very strict dress code. Disregarding these
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: or other requirements can lead to a woman being violated
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: by regime en forcers. It's no coincidence that Margaret Atwood
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: drew inspiration from the Islamic Republic when writing her dystopian
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: novel The Handmaid's Tale. This is why I'm flabbergasted by
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: purported feminist siding with the radical regime in Tehran. Friends,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I told you, I told you last week, and are
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: on Monday, and I'm telling you every day since the
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Democrats chose poorly. You want to say, you're four women
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: and you're siding with dead Hitler, Dead Islamic Hitler and
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: all of the brutish animals that sought to confine, kidnap, disrespect,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: and sometimes murder innocent women in a country for years
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: just because they could just because they had the votes
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: that would protect them. They didn't. There was no idea
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: like civil rights that a person. And the problem is,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: and this is a big problem for the faith of Islam.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I have Muslim friends. We don't talk about this much,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: but this is the problem with your faith. You do
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: not recognize the Imago day. You don't recognize the mark
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: that God puts on the soul of every human being.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: If you did, you couldn't throw gay people off of buildings.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: If you saw the Imago day and someone. You could
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: not be okay with a boarding unborn children, if you
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: saw the Amago day and someone, you can't be okay
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: with hideously violating and abusing women the way strict Islamak
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: regimes do. And I don't care how many times you
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: beat a woman or cajole her into saying what you
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: want her to say. There is something that she inherently
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: knows that is so wrong about not having her own agency.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: And the reason that it all came about was because
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Mohammed couldn't stand a woman that was smarter than him,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: and so he saw to it that none of them
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: ever would be That's why education for women is banned
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: in Islam. You can't have women, smart women figuring things out,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: especially for themselves. That threatens to put the whole ecosystem
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: in the upside down, which it should be. The moderate
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: practicers of Islam, you know, we can have a we
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: can have a debate about whether or not your moderations
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: are enough to coexist in a you know, free society.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: But for the for the extremists, for the ones that
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: hold to the purest form, you don't you. You cannot
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: be part of American society because you're You're the rules
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: by which you live do not coexist with the American
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: constitution in the American way of life. Doesn't work that way.
• 40:40
  Speaker 13: Kevin McCullough Hour two straight ahead, somewhere in the bowels
• 40:49
  Speaker 13: of the City that Never sleeps.

• 40:59

• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Many of you know him when I spooks for Damas.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Of course, that Kevin Show is gonna be great.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: The only thing that could.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Be greater, of course, would be that Donald's show.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: We don't have that.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: So we have that Kevin.
• 41:11

  Speaker 1: Give you some externity to it.

  Speaker 5: Plus practical tips for family life, spiritual life, and good

  Speaker 5: old regular life. It's Kevin McCullough Monday through Friday on

  Speaker 5: That Kevin Show and now from the Connors in Sullivan
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: Broadcast Studios. The man who is not what he wants
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: to be, but is way grateful that is not who
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: he used to be.
• 42:04
  Speaker 13: Here all right, welcome in Kevin McCullough, That Kevin Show.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Thrilled to have you with us. That Kevinshow dot com
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: for everything related to the show. That Kevin Show at
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: gmail dot com. If you want to email me, always
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: glad to read your emails. I don't pawn that off
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: on staff or anybody else. I always take care of
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: that on my own. We are still covering the events
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: of what's going on in the war, and I want
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: you to be informed and up to date on all
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: of that. Some big good things happening today the Israelis
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: and the Americans, not gloating, but very very confident in
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the ability that they've had to take over the skies
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: of Iran, and there's basically no air force defense systems
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: that the regime can power up. They killed another layer
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: of top leadership yesterday when eighty eight of them decided
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: to go get into a building together, took them out.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: What's left of the leadership. It's getting lower and lower
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: on the totem pole, and there's a lot of confusion,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of really kind of bis management of things
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: that seem to be happening there. So good stuff. They
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: also got the guy that had been behind the assassination
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: attempts on President Trump, the Iranian that had planned those
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: and talked about those and kind of threatened those. He's
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: been killed. So again, a lot of winning and hopefully
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: the Iranian people are going to have a new government
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: and their land their home back, very very soon. That's
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: our prayer anyway, at least. But I want to get
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: over to some other breaking news, because there is news
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: that is being made and it is worth talking about.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: And I feel a little perplexed because it's almost breathtaking
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: that anything about this needs to be said. Let me
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: the title of the column that I put up at
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: town Hall about this is Scotus actually parents do matter,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: and again, it's kind of a shame that that has
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: to be kind of codified by a court ruling. But
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: parents do matter, not the bureaucrats, not the school boards,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: not the activist teachers, not even the state of California.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Parents are the ones that matter. And yet here in
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, the United States Supreme Court had to
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: step in and remind the one of the largest public
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: school systems in the country that the people who actually
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: raise children are still supposed to be involved in their lives.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: That is just astounding to me that they have to
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: make that statement. In a divided ruling yesterday, the Court
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: cited with a group of parents challenging California policies that
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: had allowed schools to listen to this conceal a child's
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: gender identity, and to decide to not tell the parents,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: so to hide the decision that the child had come to,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: and to basically lie to the parents and have the school,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: have the school board or the school district complicit in
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: that lie. The justices instead reinstated a lower court order
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: that prevents schools from misleading parents and requires them to
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: respect parental instructions regarding how their children are addressed at school.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Think about that for a second. The highest court in
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: the land is what was required to tell a state
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: government that schools cannot lie to parents about their own children.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Just think about that with me for a second. You
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: had to have the Supreme Court tell one of the
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: largest states in the Union that they weren't allowed to
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: lie to parents about their own children. What has become
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: of our our country That shouldn't require the Supreme Court
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: to say anything. Every voter in the state should be
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: furious it was required to have the justices of the
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court weigh in on it because you couldn't get
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: clarity in lower courts. What's wrong with our court systems.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: The case arose after California adopted policies encouraging and allowing
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: educators to hide i elie deceive a student's gender transition
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: at school from their parents. The twenty twenty four California
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Safety Act even barred schools from requiring teachers to inform
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: parents if their child adopted a different gender identity at school.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: In plain English, that means a child could be living
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: one identity at school and another at home, and the
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: adults entrusted with their education were expected to help keep
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: the secret. Friends. That is not education. That is state
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: sponsored child abuse. When you divide parents from kids, that's
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: child abuse. Parents across the state challenge the policy, arguing
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: that the government had no right to insert itself between
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: families and their kids, particularly in issues of identity, faith,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: and moral formation. Come on, now, the Supreme Court agreed,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: at least for now. Thank god. The Justice is granted
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: the parents' request to reinstate a federal district court order
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: preventing schools from misleading parents and requiring schools to follow
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: parental guidance regarding names and pronouns used for their kids.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing, my little trans educators out there. You
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: don't get to take my little Johnny and Susie into
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: your classroom and then just have your jolly well weigh
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: with them and your imagination and your perverse weird other
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: than what is reality that you're living in. I don't
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: really want you teaching in the school systems, period because
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: I think that if you're if you're of that mindset,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: you probably have some unre quieted mental trauma that has
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: never been addressed. Because what we're finding out about is
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: all these kids that you're trying to force to transition,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: that they all want a de transition because they all
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: had other things that needed to be addressed, and when
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: the other things got addressed, then the whole trans thing
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: just went away. That's happening in dozens upon hundreds of
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: kids that have gone partially down the path. So, no,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: I really don't want you teaching in my kids' school,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: But I really will not approve of you having Johnny
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: and Susie at your little perverse desire, getting them to
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: come up with their own new identity, and then you
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: entertain that and you play with that, and you put
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: that into their imagination and their experience and the power suggestion,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: all the rest of that garbage. You don't get to
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: do that with my Johnny and Susie in your classroom.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: They are my children, given to me by God, and
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I am responsible for them until they are an adult.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: So get your rubby, perverted hands off of their minds
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: and bodies and identities and names and pronouns and everything else.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: And that's what the Supreme Court said. The Supreme Court said,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Kev's not crazy, He's just a good parent. The court
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: acknowledged something most Americans instinctively already know. Parents are not
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: optional accessories in their kids' lives. They are the primary authority.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: And that truth is older than our Constitution, older than
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: the Republic. It is rooted in the natural order and
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: natural law. Long before legislators existed. Mothers and fathers were
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: responsible for raising and guiding and protecting their kids. Civilizations
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: function because families function, and families function because parents have
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: both the authority and the responsibility to shape the lives
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: of children entrusted to them. Yet in recent years, this
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: new ideology has tried to flip that order upside down.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm just saying, friends, over my dead body, we're
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: not going to just sit back and say, oh, okay, sure,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: if it's okay with you. And for this brief, meaningful moment,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, who should have never have had to
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: decide the issue, the highest court in the land, has
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: reminded America of something profoundly important. Parents matter, and they
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: matter more than almost anything else when it comes to
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: a child. Civilizations rise and fall not primarily on their
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: laws or their politics, but on the strength of their families.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: And when a society forgets that truth, history eventually reminds it,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: and it usually comes the hard way. Kevin McCullough coming.
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: Right back.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: Here.

  Speaker 1: related to wellness and to healthy living and to extending
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: life and to being fit into doing all those types
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: of things. And I'm very, very honored to welcome back

• 51:38
  Speaker 1: and had a baby, and so she's been a little
• 51:40

  Speaker 1: Absolutely we have talked a lot about and you have
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: a very broad experience as a medical doctor. You've served
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: in uniform for our country, and you've seen kind of
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: what the military medical arena was all like. In fact,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: you took some of their early kind of adoption of
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: technology and trying to use technology to help patients and
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: kind of really pioneer a lane for yourself that's kind
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: of unparalleled. And I want people to know that swell
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Care dot health is where they can go and access
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: what you're doing now. Swell Care all when word dot
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: h a LT. But because you have such a wide
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: knowledge base of so many different medical things, I want
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: to hit some of the hot buttons today. And in
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: recent months, I have heard the term perimenopause, and I've
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: seen more headlines about menopause and about all kinds of
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: things related to that stage of life. And I think
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my entire life leading up to that.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: So I don't know why that stage of life and
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: this kind of it seems like perimenopause. And according to
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: some women that you talk with about it, it's kind
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: of like a joke and they kind of make fun
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: of each other with it and that sort of thing.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: I don't but walk us through what is happening with
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: that change of life in our culture, in the medical circles.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: What's happening on that topic right now?
• 53:14
  Speaker 15: Certainly, Kevin, this is an amazing time in the history
• 53:17
  Speaker 15: of women's healthcare, because for decades, decades, I mean when
• 53:22
  Speaker 15: I was going through training, and that was fifteen years ago,
• 53:26
  Speaker 15: we were always taught and told that once a woman
• 53:28
  Speaker 15: goes into menopause, and to take a step back and
• 53:31
  Speaker 15: define it. Menopause is the time in a woman's life
• 53:34
  Speaker 15: when she's no longer able to have children. She can
• 53:36
  Speaker 15: no longer bear children, and your hormones start to change,
• 53:40
  Speaker 15: predominantly the estrogen, the progesterone, and the levels that they
• 53:43
  Speaker 15: are at when you're in your reproductive years. They start
• 53:46
  Speaker 15: to get a little crazy, the cycles get irregular. There's
• 53:49
  Speaker 15: lots of mood swings, exhaustion, hair loss, skin change.
• 53:54
  Speaker 14: Is bone loss.
• 53:55
  Speaker 15: All that stuff usually starts to happen in the mid
• 53:58
  Speaker 15: to late forties for most women to fifties, and for
• 54:01
  Speaker 15: decades we were told you can't do anything, there's nothing
• 54:05
  Speaker 15: you can do, no treatments, just good luck. Sometimes we
• 54:08
  Speaker 15: would even prescribe antidepressants, say, oh, here's some antidepressants, tafe
• 54:12
  Speaker 15: you feel better.
• 54:13
  Speaker 14: Don't take hormones because.
• 54:15
  Speaker 15: You'll have a heart attack or you'll have a stroke
• 54:17
  Speaker 15: and that'll be very, very dangerous for you. Even as
• 54:19
  Speaker 15: a doctor they would say, don't do that. But now
• 54:23
  Speaker 15: research has actually shown and they've removed that recommendation and
• 54:27
  Speaker 15: it's now okay and considered to be healthy and advisable
• 54:31
  Speaker 15: for women that are going through that change in their
• 54:34
  Speaker 15: life to receive hormonal support prescribe by their doctor so
• 54:38
  Speaker 15: that they can feel as good as possible while they're
• 54:42
  Speaker 15: going through that transition.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Is there an organic or natural component to hormones versus
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: an artificial or synthetic component that played into that debate
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: or was it just the use of hormones themselves, You know.
• 54:57
  Speaker 15: I think when the studies themselves are being done almost
• 55:00
  Speaker 15: always using pharmaceuticals, not the compounded types. There are compounds
• 55:06
  Speaker 15: that a pharmacy can make for you, which if you're
• 55:09
  Speaker 15: using the right kind of pharmacy, they'll be qualified, certified,
• 55:12
  Speaker 15: registered with their state board, passing all their inspections, and
• 55:16
  Speaker 15: you can feel confident that what's coming to you is
• 55:19
  Speaker 15: safe for you to consume, or you can do the
• 55:22
  Speaker 15: name brand stuff at your pharmacy that your insurance will cover.
• 55:25
  Speaker 15: So I'm sure that most of the studies that have
• 55:28
  Speaker 15: been done have been on the name brand stuff. But
• 55:30
  Speaker 15: the good news is the industry has been far ahead
• 55:36
  Speaker 15: of the regulations. I mean, for the last probably ten
• 55:38
  Speaker 15: to fifteen years, women have just done it anyways. They
• 55:42
  Speaker 15: have to pay cash for it, insurance doesn't cover it,
• 55:45
  Speaker 15: and we've had to have a lot of consent forms
• 55:47
  Speaker 15: and educational things to say, Okay, you know, you could
• 55:50
  Speaker 15: in theory have a heart attack or stroke, but there's
• 55:52
  Speaker 15: a lot of.
• 55:53
  Speaker 14: Options out there.
• 55:54
  Speaker 15: There's lots of functional medicine providers and pharmacies that give
• 55:57
  Speaker 15: women access to a lot of choices.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: And by the way, we have one of those great
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: compound pharmacies sponsoring this part of the show each week,
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: pdlabs rx dot com. Friends, if you are looking for
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: a reliable compound pharmacy. But let me ask you, doctor
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: Laura Purdy, why was the negativity in the argument to
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: begin with? Was there a sense that you were messing
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: with nature? What was the what did what was the thinking?
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know at one point in time, medical
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: practitioners thought leeches were good to bleed people when they
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: had disease and stuff. So I know we've come a
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: long way in terms of like trial and error and
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: actually figuring out stuff that's real. But what did they
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: what did they try to tell people that they were
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: going to be more likely to be exposed to things
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: like cancer or what was the argument?
• 56:47
  Speaker 15: No, I honestly, I genuinely think it was largely a
• 56:50
  Speaker 15: gender discrepancy. I mean, I know that's kind of an
• 56:53
  Speaker 15: easy button to hit, but if you think about it,
• 56:55
  Speaker 15: think about it this way. Men have been able to
• 56:57
  Speaker 15: take testosterone whenever they have low testosterone for decades, and
• 57:02
  Speaker 15: that actually does increase their risk of stroke. It can
• 57:05
  Speaker 15: make your blood thicker, it can hurt your liver. You've
• 57:07
  Speaker 15: got to take all these tests when you're on testosterone
• 57:10
  Speaker 15: to make sure that you're not having thick blood count
• 57:14
  Speaker 15: or your livers, you know, not having problems. And despite
• 57:17
  Speaker 15: the fact that there are risks, men have been taking
• 57:19
  Speaker 15: it for decades, and I think for women there was
• 57:22
  Speaker 15: probably less research, less funding allocated, and it just it
• 57:28
  Speaker 15: was not a messing with nature. It's a direct analogy
• 57:30
  Speaker 15: to the testosterone thing. And there's actually lower risk of
• 57:33
  Speaker 15: side effects with the estrogen than there is the testosterone.
• 57:37
  Speaker 15: So I think it just took that long for enough
• 57:40
  Speaker 15: people to care enough about studying it to produce the
• 57:43
  Speaker 15: right kind of data to override maybe some old stuff
• 57:46
  Speaker 15: that wasn't high quality that said heart.
• 57:49
  Speaker 14: Attack and stroke risk if you take estrogen.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: But to be clear, what you're saying now is that
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: the official recommendation is that there's not a necessarily increased
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: chance of stroke.
• 58:01
  Speaker 15: I think the exact recommendation is that it can be used,
• 58:04
  Speaker 15: it can be treated, and it can be done safely.
• 58:06
  Speaker 15: There are some patients that will have a higher risk
• 58:09
  Speaker 15: of breast cancer, you know, like, for example, if you're
• 58:11
  Speaker 15: increasing their estrogen, So do you have to make sure
• 58:14
  Speaker 15: you're still getting your mammograms and doing any blood work
• 58:16
  Speaker 15: that's relevant for you minimizing.
• 58:19
  Speaker 14: Your cardiac risk if you have a higher risk.
• 58:22
  Speaker 15: But the generic blanket recommendation that no women should ever
• 58:26
  Speaker 15: have it for any reason has been what is gone now?
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: Well, that is certainly a threshold that is historic in nature,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: And just hearing you talk about it makes me think
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: of why I hate all the pharmaceutical ads on TV,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: because there were there are companies invested in trying to
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: get you to try all kinds of things. And I
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: literally heard one, I think it was in the Super Bowl,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: and I turned to my wife, I said, that's a
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: new disclaimer. The side effectgative potential negative side effect was death.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: And yet there's saying but ask your doctor if you
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: can take it. I'm like, Okay, maybe we can find
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: maybe some other things that might work. I do think
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: that the market should be unless it's just really posing
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: an overwhelming danger to the citizenry. I think that there
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: should be a lot of leeway for doctors and patients
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: to figure out what works best individually for each person
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: that they're dealing with. Because you know, as well as
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: inbody doctor Purty, none of us know two of us
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: are exactly alike, right.
• 59:28
  Speaker 15: We believe in patient autonomy but also shared decision making.
• 59:32
  Speaker 15: Just like before you have a surgery. There's always risk
• 59:35
  Speaker 15: associated with surgery, but we do it anyways a lot
• 59:37
  Speaker 15: of times. So talking about the risk, talking about suitability
• 59:41
  Speaker 15: and the patient, I mean, you're assuming the risk, you're
• 59:45
  Speaker 15: taking on the risk yourself. And I'm happy that we
• 59:48
  Speaker 15: now have the opportunity to let women have more of
• 59:51
  Speaker 15: a choice in what they do for their lives their
• 59:54
  Speaker 15: bodies at that stage in their life.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: One of the things that you have really pioneered is
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: the whole concept of digital medicine and telemeds and the
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: ability to treat people at a distance and to be
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: able to treat more people and swellcare. Dot health is
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: a really shining example of how modern day healthcare is done.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: What's the latest in that field? We have a couple
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: of minutes before first break, just what's the latest in
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: terms of what's developing for patients. That's really kind of
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: cutting edge.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 15: Well, telemedicine is here to stay, and it's really interesting
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 15: because there are lots and lots and lots of companies
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 15: out there that sub specialize in different facets of medicine.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 15: But now we have access to lots of different pharmacies
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 15: that create lots of different products and lots of different
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 15: ways to connect with patients.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 14: The state laws have been loosening up a little, so
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 14: when it comes.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 15: To chat phone video, we have better tools and technology
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 15: and regulations than we did before.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 14: So I think now is an amazing time for women.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 15: Actually, menopause is a great issue to treat virtually because
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 15: as long as you've had a mammogram or you've had
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 15: some blood work and you're having an annual physical with
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 15: your doctor, we can actually pick it up from there.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 15: And help you virtually without sending you to an in
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 15: person office every couple of weeks.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Well, that's that's a huge benefit to everybody that's got
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: a busy schedule, which is just about everybody. It's well
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Thiss Wednesday. She's doctor Laura Perty. I'm Kevin McCullough. We're
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: coming right back from Times Square. Don't go anywhere.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 7: Let's stick around for more of that. Kevin next here
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 7: he is from New York.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: That Kevin.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 7: Kevin McCullough.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 13: Welcome back, Kavin McCullough. I've had you with us every
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 13: now and then we talk wellness, and.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Every now and then I get the pleasure of speaking
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: with doctor Laura Perty, who's doing great, great work at
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: a place called swellcare dot health. Swellcare dot health if
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: you want to look it up online. Doctor Purdy, before
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: you took time off and had your baby and disappeared
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: for a little while before you came back. The weight loss,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: weight loss, weight loss, weight loss. Everybody's talking weight loss,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: everybody's doing weight loss. Everybody seems to have done pretty
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: good with weight loss. I mean, I'm seeing people on
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: TV that I knew in person twenty years ago. I
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: don't recognize them because they've lost so much weight. But
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: you have like major, major global superstars like Serena Williams
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: who's doing endorsements on GLP shots and other things. There's
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: been a lot of controversy. There's been a lot of questions,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: there's been a lot of lawsuits. There's been a lot
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: of people looking under the hood at the different types
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: of weight loss products that are out there, not just
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: GLP ones or twos, but whatever the tetrahydrocide or whatever
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: that's called is. But there's so many different ways that
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: people are going about it. Now, give us a kind
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: of a state of the state on weight loss from
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: where you sit absolutely.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 15: And I feel like I should give a disclaimer. This
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 15: is not legal advice, it's not medical advice. We're just
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 15: having a conversation.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 14: Okay, rrect.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 15: So what has happened over the last few years now,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 15: Swell Medical Orswellcare dot Health, we have been treating patients
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 15: for weight loss since twenty twenty one, right after the pandemic.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 15: We have this massive collection of patients that we had
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 15: for urgent care and the first wave of weight loss
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 15: patients we're seeing us in twenty twenty one.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 14: So we've been doing this for five years.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 14: What has happened is when the name.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 15: Brand medications came out five years ago, there was dismal access.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 15: Most insurances would not cover it. Most patients didn't have
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 15: the proper paperwork and blood work that they needed to
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 15: get the insurance to pay for it. Even if they
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 15: would and the coverage would stop and start, it would
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 15: be there, it would disappear.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 14: Family members could get it, they couldn't.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 15: It was a disaster, and the only medications that existed
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 15: were name brand for diabetes. Fast forward, more medications specifically
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 15: came out name brand for obesity, and then they got
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 15: additional conditions added to them like sleep, apnea on a
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 15: kidney disease, cardiovascular mortality which is huge. And then due
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 15: to supply issues because in those early years it was
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 15: impossible to get supply in certain parts of the country.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 15: It was absolutely an access to care issue. So that's
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 15: when the compounding pharmacies stepped in. Right, wrong or indifferent, right,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 15: This is just the way that it worked. The compounding
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 15: pharmacy stepped in to create using the raw materials, the products,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 15: and a lot of times they would add in additional medication,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 15: so they weren't infringing on the copyright like B twelve
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 15: for fatigue, B six for navia glycine for muscle bulking,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 15: because it's you technically can't mass produce something that's underpatent.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 15: Fast forwarding from there, it opened up a gold rush
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 15: to the entire country because now this is essentially seen
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 15: as a way for people.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 14: To make money.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 15: So all of these companies, many of whom were already
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 15: providing other services to patients, they had big patient databases.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 15: They all immediately decided that they were going to do glps.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 14: So we call it the GLP gold rush.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 15: And the industry was flooded with hundreds of companies, And
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 15: now it's being flooded with hundreds of people that don't
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 15: actually come from the healthcare industry. Affiliate marketers, tech people,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 15: business people, and they're all trying to create GLP companies
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 15: as fast as they can to sell the highest quantity
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 15: at the lowest dollar value of these medications. What I'm
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 15: seeing these days is a massive commercialization of the entire industry,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 15: low quality. They've eliminated the human touch. I've had people
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 15: tell me that their consultations this is true. Founder of
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 15: GLP companies that tell me the average time of a
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 15: consultation is zero point eight seconds.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: That's barely long enough to vocally say something into a
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: chatbot and let it be read by the other side.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 14: I know.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 15: But what's happening is they're running it like affiliate marketing.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 15: You could think they're just blasting out these performance marketing ads,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 15: trying to get the lowest cost for patient acquisition, pay
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 15: the doctors the lowest amount of money, automate everything they
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 15: can inside the system, and they're really just trying to
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 15: make as much money as possible.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 14: I mean, that is the fact.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 15: So they've removed what I consider to be the most
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 15: important part of the whole thing, which is the doctor
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 15: patient connection. It's the relationship between the clinician and the
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 15: patient on the other side of it, where the magic happens,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 15: where the healing happens. And that's been essentially removed or
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 15: substituted with automated systems so that these businesses can just
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 15: sell as much as they want want of their high volume,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 15: low dollar product. And so for the records, we don't
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 15: operate that way.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: What's the fix for that? I mean, how should doctors
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: be how should companies be doing it? And what do
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: you guys do that distinguishes you from that kind of
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: mass chaos.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 15: Well, I have got a slight glimpse into what I
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 15: hope is the future of healthcare regulation because in the
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 15: state of Iowa they actually started regulating medspas at the state.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 14: Medical board level.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 15: Now, medspas are not telemedicine companies, but what I hope
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 15: that's going to do is set a precedent to have
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 15: regulatory oversight over all businesses that deliver care.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 14: Because let me give you an example.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 15: If Kevin decides that Kevin wants to make kevin'sglp ones
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 15: dot com, there's no regulatory agency aside from like the
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 15: FDA if you illegally market. But if you don't illegally market,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 15: there's nobody that can hold you accountable for your practices.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 15: Who can I know, who can inspect you and say,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 15: Kevin business, No, you have a one second doctor patient encounter.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 14: The doctor can get in trouble, but you can't.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 15: So my hope is that what we see is that
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 15: eventually someday all telemedicine companies have to be registered, inspected, audited,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 15: and regulated by the state level where they do business,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 15: or they can have their business license revoked.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 14: That's what I hope.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: I love that idea. And on that note, doctor Laura Perty,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: we're out of time, but friends go to Swellcare Health
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: swellcare dot health to find out more about everything that
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: she and her team do. And Laura, we'll see again soon.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 14: Thank Kevin, thanks for having me.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Kevin mckellach coming right back from Time.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 10: Square downboing here he is from New York. Exact Kevin,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 10: Kevin McCullough.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: All right, have you with us. It's that Kevin Show,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: that kevinshow dot com and you know that. During the week,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: I of course talk about the big headlines of the day.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: We talk about the news, we get into all the
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: stuff that's going on in the world, but I also
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: talk about travel. I also talk about wellness. I want
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: to give you tools in your life to help keep
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: you safe and to keep you healthy and to keep
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: you active. And one of the things that I came
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: across a few years ago was this little company called Medjet.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: I had had a sister that had worked in the
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: travel emergency medical arena. She had been a nurse on
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: a flight ambulance and she had done a lot of
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: work to help people get back to the US when
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: they are injured or deathly sick in another country. And
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: as I was thinking about taking my family on a
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: trip to Italy, I was like, well, what happens if
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: we get over there, and even in a developed country,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: I don't have what I necessarily need or want. That's
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: where I discovered Medjet. From the moment that I met
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: John and Sherry and the team, I was just so impressed.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: And now I'm never going to fly my family anywhere
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: without them. I'm not going to travel without them. And
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: now I'm traveling so much more with the new show
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: and being on in seven hundred cities. We've got a
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: lot of things that we've got to do and be
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: in places, and I'm just I'm glad to travel with
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: the protection that Medjet offers us. We were just talking
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: with John Goebbels, who is the CEO, about the Medjet
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: Assist program. But John, you do offer this other thing
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: called Medjet Horizon. And as people have watched the news
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: in recent weeks of what's going on in Mexico, it's
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: not just the fact that the government killed a cartel member,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: but then there was violence that spread up from that.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: Americans were told to shelter in place. There's another layer
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: of help that Medjet offers, and it's not always evacuation,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: but there is a kind of rationale to what you
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: guys do. And what I love more than anything is
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: that you're there twenty four hours a day. I call
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: the number going to get Medjet to give me the
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: right counsel on what I need to do, but walk
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: us through how Medjet Horizon works.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: So Meget Horizon is kind of an add on membership
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: to our Medjet Assists, which is the air medical program.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: And what is basically what everybody wants to talk about
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: is the travel security and crisis response portion of that.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: The Medjet Horizon membership portion is run by focus Point International,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: who is a great strategic partner of ours. They have
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: got the guys in the call centers that have done
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: this and been around the world doing things that you
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: and I don't do and making those decisions so they
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: can help with that. It does do some other things
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: such some ground transport and antiller items, but really what
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: we want to talk about today, I think is a
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: travel security and crisis response and that provides you access
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: to that team of professionals. As you said, twenty four
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: hours a day, seven days a week. You can call
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: them if you're feeling unsafe at any point and get
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: some real time help. Then may result in an evacuation,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: security evacuation, or it may not really depending on the
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: scenario and the circumstances of what is going on. But
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: it is a valuable tool to have in the world today.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: Do you know if you've had any members that have
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: been impacted by the Mexico situation and if you've heard
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: from them.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So we've got at least probably seven or eight
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: that have made contact directly with MEGA. Initially we have
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: a group let's say group, but several more and I
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: won't have final numbers really until this is over. The
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: contact and focus point directly which is the proper plan
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: to do. They all of our members have their crisis
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: Response Center number to that and right now at this point,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: which I think we've seen a lot, is the members
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: are really kind of sheltering in place. It has become
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: very difficult recently to be doing evacuations, certainly in armored vehicles,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: in anything that looks other than a regular car or
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: truck in Mexico because those are targeted. So there are
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: roadblocks and any of these transport issues that are going on.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: They're targets and that is a very dangerous place to be.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: So right now, unless you're kind of going gray or
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: in a way of looking like a national citizen in
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: those type of vehicles that are run down, you're a target.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: And right now they're not pulling people from hotels and
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: things of that nature. It could escalate to that, but
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: right now, the samest thing to do for our members
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: is to shelter in place they are able to contact
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: and have daily updates from the crisis teams that are
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: monitoring them. There may be some movements to different areas
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: depending on where they're at. They've really got some people
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: that are able to hold their hands through this and
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: really provide that service.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: What about the Olympics, were there any emergencies that you
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: know of that you guys had medical or otherwise for
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: the people attending there or was that a safe non
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: event for you guys?
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, from a security standpoint though, everything was fine as
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: you've seen, and we were our members were very lucky
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: at least medically everything was fine. We actually had had
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: no one from our standpoint contact us for any type
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: of medical transport. So yeah, it was a great Olympics
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: for the US and as well.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, some gold medal winning there. If people want to
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: add on the Medjet Horizon, how does that change the
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: membership equation for them?
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: Sure, I mean it's really just the pricing, as you said.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: I mean if we look at an individual Medjet Horizon
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: membership which has the medical transport as well, it's an
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: add on to that. It's only four seventy five for
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: an individual, six fourteen for a family, and that is
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: compared to just the medical transport portion which is three
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: point fifteen and four to twenty five. So it's not
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: a huge add on in cost for a nice dinner
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: out in Italy. Like you said, you can you can
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: have that protection and not have to worry about it
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: and travel in the comfort and security of having mege.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: What drew you into this line of work? What was
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: it about this that you personally said, I want to
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: be about that.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So, I mean personally, my entire life has been
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: in public safety, so you know forire our EMS and
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: law enforcement work for my entire career. Then I got
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: into air medical transport as a critical care nurse, which
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: kind of you know, had me in that position to
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: be able to see all sides, so to speak.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: And a lot of.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: Hats, yeah, a lot of different and that's what they
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: would would call me. I had a lot of hats
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: in my office that they got me for that, but
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: really meget was something that gave me the ability to
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: use kind of all of my curriculum that I had
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: in my previous life in all aspects. And it's a
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: company what it says that they do, and that for
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: me is very important. And that's why I've been here
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: almost twenty years now. So you know, we've done thousands
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: and thousands of medical transports and I would never and
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: if I'm not here, I would never travel without it.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: There's friends, I just got to tell you, there's nothing
• 1:15:58

• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: we can bring that help to you. And if you'd
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: like to win twenty twenty six dollars from Medjet in
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, we're going to draw a name. Some
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: very fortunate person is going to win that. Go to
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: that kevinshow dot com click on promotions, sign up for
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: the drawing. A new study is suggesting that middle aged
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: men may be more vulnerable to faster biological aging, potentially
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: linked to exposure to forever chemicals those sound scary. The
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: research published in the journal Frontiers and Aging examined how
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: perfluorocal fulacle and poly flur alocal substances hey you pronounce it,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: you do any better? More commonly known as pfas, could
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: impact aging at the cellular level. Pfas are synthetic chemicals
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: commonly used in nonstick cookware, food packaging, water resistant fabrics,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: and other consumer products. According to the study, their chemical
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: structure makes them highly resistant to breaking down, allowing them
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: to accumulate in water, soil, and the human body. Some
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: Chinese researchers analyze blood samples from about three hundred and
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: twenty six adults enrolled in the US National Health and
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: Nutrition Examination Survey between nineteen ninety nine and two thousand
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: and The researchers measured levels of eleven PFA compounds in
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: the participant's blood and use DNA based epigenic epigenetic clocks
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: tools that analyze chemical changes to DNA to estimate biological
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: age to determine how quickly their bodies were aging at
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: the cellular level. The study stated two compounds, the PFNA
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: and the pfosa, were detected in ninety five percent of
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: the participants. Higher concentrations of those chemicals were associated with
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: faster biological aging in men of certain age groups, but
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: not in women. Huh great, so we dudes, we have
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: it affect us more. The compounds most strongly linked to
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: accelerated aging were not the PFAS chemicals that typically received
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: the most public attention. The associations were strongest in adults
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: aged fifty to sixty four, particularly in men, and while
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: this does not establish that pfas cause aging, it suggests
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: that these widely present forever chemicals may be linked to
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: molecular changes. So there you go, guys. It's not fair,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: but we're aging a little bit faster. And this is why,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: by the way, I take my balance of nature, all
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: of those phido chemicals in the veggies and the fruits
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: doing all the good fighting on my behalf help offset
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: this stuff. So I'm not saying it's a I'm not
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: saying it's a silver bullet, but I do think that
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: I do think that it makes a difference. So lots
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: and lots and lots of fruits and vegetables can, in
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: my opinion, help offset some of the things that you're
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: seeing in some of these areas. Okay, so that's it
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: for today. We've got a lot that we're going to
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: get to every day, of course, but thank you for
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: being here. Thank you to Doctor Party, thank you to
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: mister Gobbles, thank you to John i Elo, and thank
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: you to Bishop Nelson for being with us and friends.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: I just want you to come on back every day.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do everything we can through the most common
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: sense available, help you you understand the world around you
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: and then also how you can make a difference in
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: the world as you live in it. And I'm so
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: humbled and honored and grateful to get to go on
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: that journey with you every single day. Thank you for
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: being here, thank you for telling your friends, and thank
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: you for coming on back. Calvin mccallaugh is saying, have
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: a great one and we'll see you next time.
