• 2:49
  Speaker 4: your friends a lot of fun. We have some breaking
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: news at the top of the show today. Here Iran
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: thinks that it's tricking and full the world that this
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: is why they have yet to surrender. They believe that
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: they are able to bait and switch. They believe that
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: they are able to bluff the president of the United States.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: They believe that they are able to do all kinds
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: of things that they're not really able to do, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: they think they can. And their latest scheme has been
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: this sanctioned tankers that have been dressed up and disguised
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: as Iraqi vessels or trying to move hundreds of millions
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: of dollars in Iranian crewed as President Donald Trump doubles
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: down on the blockade, squeezing Tehran's oil lifeline. According to
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Maritime Intelligence, the intelligence claims that a group of US
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: sanctioned tankers were falsifying their location data to come off
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: as anchored off of Iraq while secretly loading Iranian oil
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: at Iranian Iranian ports. And there's all this technical stuff
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: about which ships are doing this. This came as Trump
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: said Wednesday that he'll keep Iran under a naval blockade
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: until it degrees to a deal that addresses US concerns
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: about the nuclear program. You don't get to keep the
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: nuclear dust, you don't get to keep the uranium. We
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: get to take it all. You cannot be trusted, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: we don't trust you. The US administration has demanded that
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Iran dismantle the uranium enrichment program, while Tehran maintains that
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: enrichment is a sovereign right and non negotiable, leaving little
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: room for compromise. Hence you have the blockade and the
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: threat by the president to blow up bridges and power plants,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: which he doesn't want to do. He doesn't want to
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: hurt the Iranian people. A cluster of ten Iran trading
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: US sanctioned tankers is now spoofing its location to falsely
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: appear at anchorages off of Iraq as the blockade continues
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: to constrict Iranian port ports. Says the American intelligence. Vessels
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: identified are manipulating their signals to create a digital alibi.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: By broadcasting fake destination messages to Iraqi ports. The tankers
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: appear to be in Iraq's waters while covertly sailing to
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Iran to load sanctioned oil. Once loaded, the vessels re
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: emerge to suggest a legitimate Iraqi origin for the cargo.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: The US blockade on Iranian ports began April thirteenth. The
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: blockade has unfolded in stages, starting with naval deployments restricting
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: maritime enforcement, and our intelligence is saying that more than
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: two dozen tankers are confined west of Hormuz as of Wednesday,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: with the blockade cutting Iran oil loadings. Now here's how
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: the malla's the real ugly guys in Iran are responding
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: to it. Iran's Mohammed Golibaf slammed US policymakers Wednesday, including
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Secretary Scott Bessant, over the impacts of the US blockade.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: The parliamentary speakers cited junk evidence and blamed the Treasury
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: for pushing up oil prices. If it's such junk evidence,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: then why are you commenting on it? And then Gollibof
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: went on X and said, three days in and no
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: well has exploded. Three days in since when you've been
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: you've been blockaded since April thirteenth. Pile, you can try
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: to push off your propaganda, but it's not it's not
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: working anyway, so that their latest scheme has been uncovered.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Pretend to be Iraqi ships, fill up with oil and
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: still try to get through the blockade. Guess who's on
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: to him. Yeah, and it would have been like eight
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: hundred million in earnings that they would have gotten had
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: they been able to be successful. So very interesting situation there.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: And Iran's leader, we're getting reports has resurfaced. Let me
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: just despite questions about his health, and he's signaling no
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: retreat on the core military programs. Ayatola Motaba Kamani, while
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: reportedly in questionable health, issued a statement online. This is
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: the way they've been doing it because I think the
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: dude can't chew vegetables. But whoever's posing is him vows
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: the Islamic Republic would protect its nuclear and missile capabilities
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: and draws a hard line as tensions remain high. Kamani
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: also escalated his rhetoric against well whoever did it, against Washington,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: saying the only play for the American military and the
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Persian Gulf is at the bottom of its waters. By
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Allah's help and power, the bright future of the Persian
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Gulf region will be a future without America, one serving
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: the progress comfort and prosperity of its people. We and
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: our neighbors across the waters of the Persian Gulf and
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: the Gulf of Oman share a common destiny. Foreigners who
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: come from thousands of kilometers away to act with greed
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: and malice have no place in it except at the
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: bottom of its waters. The dude is surrounded and he's
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: a vegetable. I don't think he's writing these things. And
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: the guys that are are so desperate for power, they
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: think this is the way to project it, he said.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: The foreigners who greedily commit evil in the Middle East
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: form thousands from thousands of kilometers away, have no place
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: in it except depths of waters. Ninety million, brave and
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: honorable Iranian compatriot, it's consider all of the capabilities of identity, spirituality, humanity, science,
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: industry and basic in new technologies from nano and biot
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: and nuclear and missile as their national capital, and will
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: guard them like water, land and air. That that is
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: so odd to hear him say, because I think that
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: ninety million Iranians would get with dump Commanian. It would
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: throw him over a boat in a heartbeat. They've not
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: been allowed to They've been told that they're not going
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: to be allowed to. They have had guns pointed in
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: their faces and said, don't say that you would like to.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: He sure is confident of the people of Iran, when
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know that they're confident in him at all.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Kavin mckella asking, how do we live? Coming up next.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: He is from New York. Kevin McCullough.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: All right, Kevin mckella. I said it at the beginning
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: of the last segment. I'm going to say it throughout
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: the show today. I'm so grateful for you, friend, for
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: you being there, for you telling others, for us continuing
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: to have stations added to the show and new places,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: getting our conversations every day, and I just want you
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: to know without you, none of it would be possible.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: We're very, very grateful, grateful to God, grateful to you,
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: and I'm grateful that we get to every day think
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: collectively about how we live in today's circumstances. We live
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: in a culture that is obviously saturated with self saturated
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: with everything about pleasing ourselves, and so to say that
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: we love God, that we read his word, that we
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: want to follow him is an unusual thing, to say
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: the least, so how do we stay on that mission
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: given the culture that we're in. That's what we discuss
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: in this segment every single day. Mark hollin Back is
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: back with us from the Phoenix area. Camelback Christian Church
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: is his church in Scottsdale, Arizona, and we'll tell you
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: more about how you can connect with them in a bit.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: But Mark, we've been looking at what you've called the attribute,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: the biblical attribute of God's power, and we have seen
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: some really amazing applications. Each day. We're going to Second
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Corinthians today. What are we going to see here?
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: Well, today we're going to look at where Paul deals
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: with his issue, what he called his thorn in the flesh.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: And people have over two thousand years, have said what
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: was Paul dealing with? We're never told, He never tells
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: us what he was dealing with. But that's not really
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: the issue. The issue is what God told him in
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: light of that thorn in the flesh. And what God
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: told him was my power is made perfect in weakness.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: And it's just a law of God as true as
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: the law of gravity, that my power is made perfect
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: in weakness. And I want to give that some context.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: Let's read a little bit out of second Corinthians ten,
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: sure where Paul received these incredible revelations, and then I'm
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: going to pick it up in the middle of verse
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: seven and sewo Corinthians ten, where he says this. Therefore,
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: given a thorn in my flesh, a meth He called
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: a messenger of Satan to torment me, to torment me.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Three times. I pleaded with the Lord to take it
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: away from me, but he said, my grace is sufficient
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses,
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why,
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses and insults, in hardships,
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: in persecutions, in difficulties. And then this statement, for when
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: I am weak, then I am strong. And yeah, just
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: that amazing statement that the Lord revealed to Paul. My
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: perfect in weakness. And it tends to flip the coin
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: over as to the way we tend to want to
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: deal with our weaknesses and our thorns in the flesh.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: So to speak, we want to get rid of them,
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: and especially as Paul calls it here at Torman, to
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: torment me. And so just a couple things as far
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: as takeaways truths that we can pick up from this.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: The first one grace over relief that God often answers
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: prayer by providing grace to endure rather than removing the hardship.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: And I want the relief, you know, I want to
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: take the aspirt. I want the pain medication. And that's
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: kind of what Paul went to God with, I want
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: the relief, and God came back with huh huh huh,
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: because it sounds reasonable. It sounds reasonable to me. Yeah,
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: even Jesus in the garden, what is it? If it
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: be thy will, If it be thy will, may this
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: cup pass from me? But he said, but not my will,
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: but thy will. And so Paul learns this lesson my grace.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: My power is made perfect in weakness. I'll stop, let
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: you come in and weigh in a little bit here.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that you know, weakness is one of
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: those things. Its weakness is the pain suffering for the
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: believer is the toughest thing that I ever have to
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: feel questions about because it's if God is good, then
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: why does why do his people suffer? And I lost
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: my mom to cancer when I was seventeen. My wife
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: lost her mom to cancer when she was in her
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: mid twenties. A there's a degree of suffering that we
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: are never fully going to be able to explain or
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: to understand. But to know that Christ's power is being
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: perfected in us at least gives me some hope that
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: there's purpose for that.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: Yes, absolutely, and to me that's what that's the lesson
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: here that Paul learned in this story were with his
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: thorn in the flesh that God is in this that
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: Paul basically getting you know what you had said, the
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: purpose in the weakness. It's not a hindrance, but a
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: requirement for God's power to be fully manifested in our lives.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: Exactly what you're talking about, right, you know kind of
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: what is weakness in this context? In this context, it's
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: something Paul can't control. And we tend to be control freaks,
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: you know, we had something we want to control everything
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: in our lives, and this is something Paul and I
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: think Paul's personality, I think we can pick up on
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: that very quickly. He wanted to, and there's nothing wrong
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: with that. But Paul can't control this.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: There's no cure.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: There wasn't a cure for it. He couldn't hire an attorney,
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: he couldn't call the police. It's it's it's something in
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Paul's life that will remain, at least for the time being.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: And so Paul's face for the question, how can anything
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: good come from this storm in the flesh? You know,
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Paul wanted strength on his terms, But if we're going
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: to fight and win the battles that the Lord has
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: in store, they must be fought with his strength on
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: his terms, not on my strength, not on our strength,
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: but on his strength and his terms. And that's getting
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: back to the statement again, what the Lord says to Paul,
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: my grace is sufficient for you. And I've been in
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: ministry a few decades now, and how many times I've
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: been in hospital rooms and praying for people's healing and
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: life and death matters, and just pray this prayer over
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: people that God's grace is sufficient for this. We might
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: want the healing, but we don't exactly what you were
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: talking about as far as your mom and your wife's mom,
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: and and we don't know that's purposes and plans and
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: we don't. Yeah, so absolutely that that's grace is sufficient
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: for what we face.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: And I can I can add that for those of
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: you listening, that it's it may it may sound trite,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: it isn't. I absolutely know that even though there has
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: been suffering and pain and seasons of my life, I
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: also absolutely know that when I have used that opportunity
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: to lean into God, to turn toward him to say,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: this isn't about me, this is about what I need
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: to learn from you, that that grace has come flooding
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: in that the sufficiency. It hasn't erased all of the
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: the sorrow or all of the pain, but it has
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: given me a foundation to believe and to know and
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: to walk with that goes far beyond any human comfort
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: or level of you know, encouragement or anything like that
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: that I've ever experienced. And that may sound, like I said,
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: very counterintuitive, but I know I know that it's true. Mark,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: I know that that's true. And I think one of the
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: hardest things for non believers to be able to dispute
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: is the fact that God is active and that He's
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: at work, and that there are answers to prayers that
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: he answers every single day and that he can for them.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: To Yeah, you know, Job, after all that happened to job,
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Job never got the answer to the why question?
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Right, why all that happened?
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: What Job got? At the end of the book, Job
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: got God's presence, which is.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Better than why, exactly better than why.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: That is exact, and you know that is always better
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: than the answer to the why question.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: God's presence.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: And whatever we do the answer to the why question
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: we think we need, we don't. We just need the
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: power source. And when God, we're plugged into God, then
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: that overcomes all of it all. Right, Wow, what a
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: what a fantastic first four day is We wrap all
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: this up tomorrow looking at first Peter, a couple of
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: different passages there, Mark, I can't wait to see what
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: we do in that. And thank you for this, this
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: very convicting week and challenge of helping us think along
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: these lines.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Kevin, look forward to tomorrow.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: You got it. Kevin mccallaugh coming right back from New York.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Don't go way, Let's stick around for more than Kevin.
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: Next here he is from New York.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: That Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: All right, Kevin McCullough back, thank you for being here,
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: and thank you, thank you, thank you man. I'm full
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: of thanksgiving today. It's like Thanksgiving Day at that Kevin show.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: And why not. We have such good things to be
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: thankful for. But I just just before I went on
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: the mic here, I just got notified that we got
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: we got another eighteen kids taking care of yesterday for
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: our campaign for Food for the Poor, meaning eighteen more
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: kids are now going to eat two meals a day
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: and have clean drinking water, all the clean drinking water
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: they can handle for the coming year. And friends, when
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: I think about this and I say, wow, what an
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: incredible thing that people have done. We are at nine
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: hundred and thirty two children, and I would like to
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: get to one thousand children before the end of the week.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: If we just had a few more people step up
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: and say, yeah, I can do seventy five dollars and
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: take care of a child for the coming year. Imagine
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: imagine being able to say that as a community we
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: helped one thousand children be fed two thousand meals, I
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: mean two meals a day for all of twenty twenty seven,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: and clean drinking water all of twenty twenty six, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: clean drinking water as much as they need, when many
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: of them don't have any ability to do anything other
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: than that that they don't have clean water supplies, they
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: don't have clean food supplies, they don't have people making
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: them the kind of food that they need. So it's
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: very very it's very very excellent that we have helped
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: feed nine hundred and thirty one, nine hundred and thirty
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: two children and friends. Let's let's go sixty eight kids.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: That's all we've got. That's all we've got to hit
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: that one thousand child mark. How many of you could
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: do something right now? Eight five to five nine zero
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: seven four six seven three eight five five nine zero
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: seven four six seven three. I would love to see
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: one thousand children be fed and given clean drinking water
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: for the coming year. It would just it would make
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: my heart so happy. And my kids they hear me
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: talking about this because the show, you know, I'm on
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: right now as they're getting out of school and when
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: their mom's picking them up sometimes they're listening to the show.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: And they asked me later and they said, Dad, how
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: close are we getting? And to know that we're you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: sixty eight kids away. I don't want to leave one
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: of them out. And by the way, friends, if you
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: are one of these people that your company would like
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: to do something significant for humanitarian reasons, it's a fifty
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: one hundred dollars gift to get us there. There are
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: companies that will. You know, maybe you run a small
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: business and you're looking for a tax right off of
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: some sort. Fifty one hundred dollars. We'll get there, but
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: I need you to help us. So if you can
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: do seventy five dollars and feed one child, if you
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: can do fifty one hundred dollars and feed all sixty
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: eight kids, we need both and everything in between. I
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: think someone gave a gift yesterday of close to thirteen
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: hundred dollars. That's huge. If we just had four more
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: of you, we would get there. But please, please please
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: consider ask yourself right now, is there a way call
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: your spouse? Is there a way that we could right
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: now care for you know, and fill in the blank
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: however many kids you think you might want to do,
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: because getting to a thousand kids would be just mind blowing,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: just just a crazy, good, happy experience. Because think about
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: and I've been there by the way, friends, I don't
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: know that I've told this story in the last few days,
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: but I've been with food for the poor in the
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: countries where they work, several of them Haiti, Jamaica. Colleagues
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: of mine had been in Guatemala, El Salvador, some of
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: the places where Honduras. So you know, we we go
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: and we see with our own eyes the good that
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: they're doing. But having said that, what's really cool about
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: this is that when I did see one year that
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: this one town that we were at and we drove
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: out of the town in our in our little you know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: world drive bus to get up to the mountain. We
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: drove as far as we could. We got out and
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: had to walk I think it was another like two
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: miles into the wilderness. When we got to the town
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: where it was, there was this old, old pastor who
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: was trying to run a school class and he had
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: about six or eight kids, most of them little girls,
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: cute little Haitian girls wearing you know, like little yellow
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: dresses is probably the only clothes that they owned. And
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: he was, you know, sitting they were all sitting on little,
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: you know, wood stubs, and he's trying to help them
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: memorize something. And we went into the town, which was
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: just a few one hundred feet away, and you know
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: the town. It's hard to describe it as a town
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: because the homes were just garbage kind of coupled together
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: with zinc roofing, and it was very neat. Everything was
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: very kind of in order, but it was not it
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: was not appropriate. So and they didn't have clean drinking water.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: They had this nasty, nasty little watering hole that I
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: saw dogs and stuff in and I was like, huh,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: and that's that's where the kids go and get their water.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: So we came back then when I was I was
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: just done in New York at the time, and we
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: did a whole campaign. We got them a water filtration system,
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: and we got all the kids on the feeding program.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: And I went back a year later. Friends, you should
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: have seen the difference in that town. It was like
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: a real home town, and they had extended the road
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: all the way into the town over that period of time.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: It just filled my heart up, but made me cry,
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: that's what we're doing. We're feeding and giving clean drinking
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: water to people. Eight five five nine zero, seven four
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: six seven three eight five five nine zero seven four
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: six seven three eight five five nine zero seven four
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: six seven three. Kevin McCullough coming round.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: He is from New York. That Kevin. Kevin McCullough, welcome back.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: It's that Kevin show of from Times Square. So glad
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: to have you with us, and always thankful that you
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: are interested in assisting us in what we're doing by
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: trying to help feed those who are hungry, and you
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: get clean drinking water to those who are desperately thirsty.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I missed to every homes, not any a lies.
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: Before I didn't have rice, I didn't have beans, I
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: couldn't give my children anything. And since they opened the
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: door of the center, I now have food at my table.
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: And I am not crying out of sadness. I am
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: crying because I'm so thankful and happy.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: This is the story that we hear time and time
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: again from people that Food for the Poor have been
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: helping and friends, you, by extension, have been part of
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: that help. If you've already helped us feed several hundred
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: children this spring, thank you for your generosity. But Paul
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Jacobs from Food for the Poor, we know of at
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: least two hundred and forty three additional kids that are hungry,
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: that are just as hungry as the original group that
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: we were trying to help, and now we want to
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: try to rush aid to them as well.
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: Two hundred and forty three children hungry acute severe malnutrition,
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: not eating every day. Two hundred and forty three children
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: whose lives, their futures, and their physical health have been
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: compromised because of abject poverty and because they do not
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: eat every day. Two hundred and forty three futures that
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: have been put on hold for nothing more than simply
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: not necessarily lack of government intervention, which is certainly an issue.
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: There a lack of education, which is certainly an issue. No,
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: it's just the fact that they need food. They need
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: to be able to eat, and they need to be
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: able to have water, safe water that is not making
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: them sick with every sip. And you're accessing that, that dream,
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: that prayer right now with every generous gift, you're helping
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: hundreds of parents like Maria Mirabel who says, I'm not
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: crying tiers of sadness because I've been helped. This is
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: tears of joy, and those tears still stay in our
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: shirts when we think about it, because, to be honest
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: with you, how many years did she watch her children
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: go without? And your gift right now, generous compassionate gift
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: to provide either one hundred and fifty dollars for two
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: children like Maria Marabel's, or a three hundred dollars gift
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: for four children. Every size gift that you give, any
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: type of gift that you give, regardless of what size,
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: it's going to turn around and help twice as many
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: children because of a match right now. But please, we
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: need you to help these help us with any amount
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: of these two hundred and forty three kids. I dare say,
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: if you want to pay, if you want to provide
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: for all two hundred and forty three, we welcome you
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: to do that, but we know it's going to take
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: a lot of you doing the best that you can
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: to help these next few hundred children eat every day.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: I am so grateful for those of you that have
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: jumped in and said, hey, I want to help some
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: of you. It's the first time you've ever done it.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: And I'm going to tell you, as someone who's been
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: giving to Food for the Poor for over twenty years,
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: the joy doesn't get smaller the more you do, the
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: more the joy you have. Because I've seen with my
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: own eyes. I've had the humbling privilege of traveling with
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Paul and some of the team from Food for the
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Poor to some of the places that we've helped, and
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I've watched with my own eyes as communities have literally
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: been transformed. You may not have heard Paul and I
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: talk about a little town called Kadwa, but it's this
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: little town outside of Porta Prince. You drive for about
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty five days, and when you get
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: to the end of I'm kidding, it seems like that's
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: that long. But when you get to the end of
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: that road, the road just stops. And then you walk
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: another two miles and then you're eventually kind of into
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: the area where the town of Codua is, or at
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: least was, And you go and you see what this
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: little town is dealing with. Lack of clean water, lack
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: of food, lack of electricity. You know, a lot of
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: problems on a lot of different levels. And you come
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: back as I did, and you challenge your listeners, Hey,
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: let's get them some clean drinking water. Let's get them
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: a food program for the kids. And you do that,
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: and then you go back a year later or two
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: years later, and you see the difference that it's made.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: The kids that were listless and kind of just barely
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: existing are running around, playing, and they're squealing, and they're saying, mister,
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: come taste my delicious water. Like I've never heard water
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: described as delicious before. But if what you've been drinking
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: has stinky stuff in it, then you know, clean water
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: tastes pretty good. And at the end of the day,
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: you see this entire what I would call flourishing community, which, friends,
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: if we're not here as agents of the gospel to
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: help people flourish, what are we here for. Why do
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: we preach the gospel so that they flourished spiritually? Well,
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: Jesus said, you have to help them flourish physically too,
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: that we are to help feed those who are hungry.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: And that's what Food for the Poor does, unapologetically, gratefully, graciously,
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: in the love of Christ, with every child that they reach.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: But they make such a huge difference. And even across
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: the Greater Caribbean and Latin American arena, and Jamaica had
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: its devastating a hurricane this last year, the government of
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: Jamaica reached out to Food for the Poor and said,
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: would you spearhead the relief efforts because they knew they
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: could trust Food for the Poor to do it right,
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: to do it in a way that was most effective,
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: and to get the most help to the most people
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: as quickly as possible. That's the kind of folks we're
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: talking about, and this is why they become such a
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: dear organization to me and somebody that my whole family
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: cares very much about making sure that we're able to
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: continue to help. We've talked a lot about the places
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: like Haiti and Guatemala and El Salvador. The reason we
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: talk about them is because there's no one that you
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: turn on the mainstream media. They're not talking about this.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: They're forgotten to the rest of the world, but they're
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: not forgotten to Jesus. They're not forgotten to the people
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: that live there. And we can be literally the hands
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: and feet of Jesus, bringing them this food, bringing them
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: this clean water in a way that truly blesses them.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: And I would like to think that as we get
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: deeper into spring, and you know, the resurrection of Jesus
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: and the celebration of it is behind us. I would
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: love to think that we still live in the light
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: of that, that the power that raised him from the
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: dead is the power that lives within us and is
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: the power that exists so that we can make a difference. Again,
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: this is why we're here. Eight five five nine zero seven,
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: four six seven three eight five five nine zero seven

  Speaker 4: four six seven three. You can also go to that
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: kevinshow dot com and click the banner at the top
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: of the page. But when you give your gift, because
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: of technology, you supply your information, the gift is processed
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: and literally, within twenty four to forty eight hours, a
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: child begins to eat because you gave today. Would you
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: make that difference in that child's life right now? Seventy
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: five dollars will take care of one child, one hundred
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: and fifty would take care of two. Three hundred dollars
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: would care for four. And here's the thing that doesn't
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: even make sense. That's that's so silly, stupid good. We
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: should be like running to the phone going, hey, I
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: can't wait to do this, So would you do it?
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Eight five five nine zero seven, four six seven three

  Speaker 4: eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three,

  Speaker 4: Or go to that kevinshow dot com.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: Let's stick around for more of that Kevin next.
• 36:02
  Speaker 10: I'm serving it up with a no drink minimum. It's
• 36:06
  Speaker 10: that kind of show.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back, It's that Kevin show. Very glad
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: to have you with us. We still have a big
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: second hour straight ahead, and I want to say thank
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: you to those of you that have done your part
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: and been so generous in helping us get these children
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: fed and given clean drinking water for the coming year.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: I just I'm touched by the outpouring of support and
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: everything that you've done, the way you continue to do this.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: We passed our goal of seven hundred and twenty children
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: and we are now headed towards the goal of one
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: thousand children that we would like to help for the year.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: And every one of these kids is in need, desperate,
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: desperate need of clean drinking water and two meals a day,
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: all of which can be delivered for one child. For
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: one child, it can all be delivered for the cost
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: of seventy five dollars. Seventy five dollars gives a child
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: seven hundred and thirty meals for the coming year and
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: all the clean drinking water that they can handle. Seventy
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: five dollars does that, And I just I want to
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: say thank you to those of you that have been
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: so generous, because it has just shown through in ways
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: that I don't think anybody expected. And when we're talking about,
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: you know, the number of kids that we've helped, and
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: I just want to do the math real quick. Here,
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: we're talking about having helped seven hundred and eighty three
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: kids thus far, and that's just that's just so encouraging,
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: so unbelievable and so wonderful to be able to look
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: back and say, hey, seven hundred and eighty four kids
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: have been helped because people were generous, people listened to
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: the Holy Spirit talking to their heart and saying, hey,
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: we want to make a difference. That means there's two
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: hundred sixteen kids left that we could still help, and
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: we have until the end of this month, so there's
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: no reason why we can't do this. Seventy five dollars
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: will help feed one of them two meals per day
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: for the coming year, seven hundred and thirty meals, and
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: give them all the clean drinking water they can handle.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: And the clean drinking water is more important than the
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: food in most regards. And then to add to that
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: not just one meal like a lot of feeding programs do,
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: but to actually do two meals a day, and to
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: give them the carbohydrates and the proteins and the vitamins
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: that they need. Those are the three most important things
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: their body needs. If you've been severely malnourished and starving,
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: your body needs building blocks, and simple carbohydrates and simple
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: proteins start building the cells. And then you add vitamins
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: to that and you get kind of an immune build
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: up as well. And now you're talking about a kid
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: that can actually grow. And when they can grow, they
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: can go to school. And when they can go to school,
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: they can learn. And when they learn, they can achieve
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: more than the parents before them. And many of them
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: returned back to the places where they grew up to
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: help make the world a better place for him. It
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: is a wonderful program. My wife and I have been
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: part of Food for the Poor for years and I'm
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: just I'm just asking you take the plunge, get involved,
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: give your heart away, love on a kid. You may
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: never know their name, they may never know yours. But
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: seven hundred and thirty meals later, and a whole year's
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: worth of drinking water is going to make a huge
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: difference for them, So just do that. Here's how you

  Speaker 4: Here all right, welcome aboard. It is the Thursday, that

  Speaker 4: Kevin Show, that kevinshow dot Com for all things related.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: So grateful to have you with us. And you know,
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: every month, I just I'm month after month, I'm getting
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: these reports of new radio stations adding us and putting
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: us in more favorable time slots, and I just friends
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: every time i get something good that comes across my desk,
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: I'm just I'm so thankful. I'm so grateful that there
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: are people that are wanting to literally take control of
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: their thinking, think more clearly, act more decisively, impact the
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: world more deeply. It's it's a mission that we're on
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: and I just feel like that when I see the
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: partnership that so many radio stations, and I cannot say
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: thank you enough to all of them that carry us.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: You know that we replaced a show on this network
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: that was pretty well loved, and yet we have grown
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: the radio affiliation far beyond where it was and we
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: continue to do things. And those of you that are
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: hearing me in former Charlie Kirk time slots, you know,
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: there were two shows that Salem Network lost. We lost
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: Charlie and we lost Eric Mataxas, and they hired me
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: to replace Eric. But a lot of stations have put
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: me on in the Charlie slots, and I'm just I'm grateful.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: I'm just grateful, and I just want to say thank you.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: And every day I wake up and I actually pray
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: for you. I pray for this audience. I pray for
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: those of you that are tuning in and trying to
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: figure out what's going on in the world and how
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: we can make sense of it and how we can
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: apply at least a Judeo Christian biblical worldview to it.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: And for those of you that do, I pray for
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: you on a daily basis that the Lord would take
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: our time together, make it fruitful in your life and
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: help you to be able to go out and be
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: a stronger and better person because of it. And I
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: just think that it's a wonderful thing that we get
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: to do on a daily basis. So thank you, thank you,
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: thank you for letting me in. I wish that common
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: sense ruled the universe. I'm reminded often that it doesn't.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: And I think that the city of ann Arbor, Michigan,
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: is reminding me today that it doesn't. The people there
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: and it's all that ann Arbor is a city that's
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: run by all one party. It's just one party that
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: runs it. But they're raising eyebrows and they're being criticized
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: for doing something that I don't understand why they would do.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: They have decided to remove all of their anti crime
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: watch signs across the city of ann Arbor. So you
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: probably have some in the city that you live in.
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: You know, there'll be signs and they'll range from you know,
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: crime watch, you know, we will report if we see
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: a crime in action or and all the way up
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: to you know, if you choose to use a firearm,
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: we choose the right to respond with deadly force. There's
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: all kinds of signs that cities put up, and I
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: think it's kind of brilliant because whether they can enforce
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: it or not, at least they're making the people that
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: would be tempted to behave badly to think about it
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: a little bit.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: It's one thing. It's one thing to say I'm gonna
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: go rob a bank, I'm going to go do this,
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go do that. It's another thing too,
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: when you're preparing for it, when you see a sign
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: that says these premises videotaped and we really report all
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: all crimes. Well, now you've just made you've just interrupted
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: the thinking process of the evildoer, and you're causing them
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: to you know, they're they're going to take their chances
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: at beating the enforcement or whatever. But at least what
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: you're doing is you're causing you know, kind of like
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: those bumps that are in parking lots, speed bumps. That's
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: what in essence these crimes, these signs do. They just
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: cause the bad people to think, ah, maybe I shouldn't
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: do that. So here's where I'm a little tripped up.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: The Michigan City of ann Arbor announced Tuesday, at the
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: direction of the city Council, that it completed a citywide
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: removal of more than six hundred neighborhood anti crime signs.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: In a statement, the city explained that removing the signs
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: aligns with the city's environment with its committment to commitment
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: to inclusive, evidence based public safety. Hold on a second,
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: you're saying we're not going to watch, we're not going
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: to watch crime, we're not going to report crime, we're
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: not going to warn people that crime will be reported,
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: and that demonstrates a commitment to being inclusive. Who are
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: you excluding by saying you're going to report crime. I'm
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: dying to hear the explanation for this. Who are you
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: being exclusive to by having the signs up? Because it
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: doesn't seem to me that you're being exclusive to anybody
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: except maybe people that would commit crime. So how does
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: it make you more You want criminals to actively commit
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: crime in your community? And I don't understand how they
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: say removing the signs is contributing to evidence based public safety.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: Neighborhood watch programs, by nature, are evidence based. By nature,
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: you say something when you see something. There was a
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: person that broke into that house. We watched him, Jimmy
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: Lott and Jimmy the lock on the door and go in.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: You're an eyewitness to the crime. You are actually some
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: of the public evidence that could be used in the
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: case to prosecute the crime. Now get this. This is
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: the scary part. And for those of you that live
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: in ann Arborhams, so sorry. The decision to remove the
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: science was made in a unanimous tend to nothing city
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: council vote. The city said the move is fostering trust, belonging,
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: and welcoming neighborhoods for all residents and visitors, Friends, there
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: is no reason for a neighborhood to be unwelcoming if
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: they have a neighborhood crime watch sign up. In fact,
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: I think because you have neighborhood crime watch signs up,
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: you can have a few more street parties, you can
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: have a little more fun because you feel it's safe,
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: you feel like there's an understanding that crime will be
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: held accountable. This simply doesn't make any sense at all.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: Ann Arbor. Mayor Christopher Taylor, a Democrat, further explained the
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: decision in an official video released by the city and
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: set to me ooh, it's set to music. Well, as
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: long as they set it to music, nah, that must
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: solve all the problems. Taylor said that, frankly, neighborhood watch
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: signs are expressions of exclusion. How how Mayor Taylor, is
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: that even true? This is nonsense, This is crazy talk.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: The resolution to remove the signs past the city Council
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: read that neighborhood watch programs were often rooted in assumptions
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: about who did and did not belong in a neighborhood. Yeah,
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: criminals don't belong in my neighborhood. He went on to
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: say that it reinforces race based hypervigilance. Stop at some
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: of the neighborhoods that you took those neighborhood Watched signs
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: down from were the same race of the people that
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: are committing the crime. Stop it. Reinforcing race based vigilance.
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: Neighborhood watch signs. Don't accuse people, friends, They're just telling
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: people that if you're going to do something bad that
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: you will be reported. Promoting race based hypervigilance. Black people
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: seeing a black person do a crime. Somehow that's race based.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: Stop it. Kevin mccallaugh coming right back.
• 50:56
  Speaker 12: Here. He is from New York, exact.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: Kevin mcomor So glad to have you with us. It's
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: that Kevin Show, that kevinshow dot com and you know that.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: On a weekly basis, I'd love to check in with
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: the Independent Women's Forum and all of their ambassadors and
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: spokespeople and strategists because they're always at work on something
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: that's impacting the lives of not just women, but really
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: common sense Americans across the board, and soorren Aldaco has
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: been with us before. She's an ambassador for IWF. She's
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: also a de transitioner and someone that is also very
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: much following and studying and researching the area of social
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: media and digital addiction and digital disembodiment and some things
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: that you've probably never even heard of. Soren, it's great
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: to have you. Thank you for being back with us.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: Thanks for having me, Kevin.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: For people that because we're on a lot of new
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: places that we weren't on the last time you were
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: with us. I want to tell a little bit of
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: your story before we get into some of the news
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: headlines of the day, because I regularly talk about the
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: people that are going going through detransition, and I actually
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: believe that that number is going to skyrocket compared to
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: people going the other direction, if it has not already
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: begun to do so, because as we gain more truth
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: about the transition process, we are learning that more and
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: more people were encouraged to take steps towards something that
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: really doesn't help solve the problems that they were suffering from,
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: and in fact just made a lot of practitioners pretty wealthy.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: Kind of at the fake explanation that this would solve problems,
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: But what was it for you? Take us back to
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: where you began to question your own body and your
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: own sex.
• 52:39
  Speaker 13: I think you have a great point with the idea
• 52:42
  Speaker 13: that for a lot of people, myself being one the
• 52:45
  Speaker 13: whole transition thing wasn't ever addressing the root causes, because
• 52:49
  Speaker 13: for me, my dysfunction started pretty early on.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: My mom was a single mom.
• 52:53
  Speaker 13: Dad didn't want to be in the picture, and that
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: me childhood a little bit rough. By the time I
• 52:59
  Speaker 13: was even or eight, I was spending a lot of
• 53:02
  Speaker 13: time online while she worked to keep a roof over
• 53:04
  Speaker 13: my head to put food on the table. And it
• 53:07
  Speaker 13: was at that time that I got into some art
• 53:08
  Speaker 13: communities where I found belonging. I was able to express
• 53:11
  Speaker 13: myself creatively from the confines of my house, and I
• 53:16
  Speaker 13: was ultimately, unfortunately groomed on the internet, and that, I
• 53:20
  Speaker 13: think introduced a lot of shame into my concept of self.
• 53:24
  Speaker 13: I just felt really bad about my body, especially entering puberty,
• 53:28
  Speaker 13: and so when I was presented with this idea that
• 53:31
  Speaker 13: feeling bad about your body could have some larger meaning,
• 53:34
  Speaker 13: could let you essentially have a rebirth of sorts, a
• 53:37
  Speaker 13: new name, a new appearance, that really resonated with me,
• 53:41
  Speaker 13: and I took that on as a roleplay identity of
• 53:43
  Speaker 13: sorts at first, right alongside that creative background, but it
• 53:47
  Speaker 13: became more serious over time.
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: When did you first begin to explain to your mom
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: or to who did you confight in first? I mean
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: a lot of school systems during the Biden era were
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: actually kind of preventing parents from knowing if their kids
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: were expressing a desire to transition. But what was the
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: kind of process for you?
• 54:12
  Speaker 13: I think what's unique about my case is I actually
• 54:15
  Speaker 13: didn't tell my mom so growing into that identity right
• 54:19
  Speaker 13: at age eleven twelve thirteen, I was mostly doing it
• 54:23
  Speaker 13: online or with friends. At school, some teachers would call
• 54:26
  Speaker 13: me by a certain name, but they weren't really on
• 54:28
  Speaker 13: the gender side of stuff.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: And that was true until I was fifteen.
• 54:31
  Speaker 13: I actually met my biological father for the first time,
• 54:35
  Speaker 13: and I went in patient shortly after to a psychiatric hospital.
• 54:39
  Speaker 13: And it was while I was in that hospital that
• 54:41
  Speaker 13: a nurse practitioner, or actually he wasn't a nurse practitioner,
• 54:44
  Speaker 13: he was a psychiatrist. He placed pressure on me to
• 54:48
  Speaker 13: tell him what was going on. And what was going
• 54:50
  Speaker 13: on was that I identified as Trands right. He wanted
• 54:53
  Speaker 13: to know why I had short hair when my name
• 54:55
  Speaker 13: was different on the door than it was on the records.
• 55:00
  Speaker 13: He ended up calling my mom and telling her about
• 55:02
  Speaker 13: my permission, which I think is interesting because she needed
• 55:05
  Speaker 13: to know what was going on with me, right, She
• 55:06
  Speaker 13: needed to know that I identified this way, because it
• 55:08
  Speaker 13: can be so dangerous for parents to be completely out
• 55:10
  Speaker 13: of the loop, especially when it's hidden. And at the
• 55:13
  Speaker 13: same time, the way he framed it that my problems
• 55:15
  Speaker 13: were because I was trans and not that this was
• 55:17
  Speaker 13: a manifestation of some larger family dysfunction.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: That's where I think things really got away.
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: That's kind of not unusual to people that I've spoken
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: with that have gone through transitioning and are detransitioning now,
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: is that there are medical professionals that draw the wrong
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: conclusion about this. In fact, they kind of sell it
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: to the young person involved that this will solve problems
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: that they've struggled with. It obviously didn't do anything for you.
• 55:50
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it just kind of stuck my confusion into a corner.
• 55:53
  Speaker 13: It made it a lot more grounded. It made it
• 55:56
  Speaker 13: a lot more real, and that's really dangerous when it's
• 55:59
  Speaker 13: not interpretation.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: That's grounded in reality.
• 56:04
  Speaker 13: I know that's true for a lot of different psychiatric
• 56:08
  Speaker 13: diagnoses as well. Not something we can talk about a
• 56:10
  Speaker 13: little later, maybe but this idea that a practitioner can
• 56:14
  Speaker 13: be God and tell you exactly who you're meant to
• 56:16
  Speaker 13: be when it's really subjective, that's definitely present here in
• 56:20
  Speaker 13: the transgender well.
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: There are municipalities and states that are wanting to do
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: this on younger and younger kids, and I just I
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: find it to be heinous because there's so much of
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: the body that hasn't developed, there's so much of the
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: brain that hasn't developed, there's so much of the person
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: that hasn't developed. And I think that's what the current
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: d transition movement is really doing a great job of
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: speaking out about, because some of you have ended up
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: making choices that you can't take back. I don't remember
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: to what degree you told us the last time, or
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: maybe you didn't about your physical attributes and changes, but
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: I know that there are people that have had perfectly
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: healthy bodies absolutely mutilated under a surgeon's knife for no
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: real benefit or reason, and they did so as minors
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: before they even really knew who they were going to
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: end up being.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: That's right, Kevin.
• 57:11
  Speaker 13: I have some friends who were as young as twelve
• 57:13
  Speaker 13: and thirteen when they were getting these surgeries, and mine
• 57:16
  Speaker 13: was at nineteen, so barely an adult, right a month
• 57:19
  Speaker 13: after my nineteenth birthday. But I did undergo the hormones
• 57:22
  Speaker 13: as a miner and the idea that those could be
• 57:26
  Speaker 13: provided to me during such a you know, turbulent mental time. Right,
• 57:30
  Speaker 13: we already covered that, but while my body was still developing,
• 57:33
  Speaker 13: I'm thinking, now, you know, I was still in puberty.
• 57:35
  Speaker 13: That doesn't end for women or for men at that age.
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: Well, for women can still be developing fully into their
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: mid twenties. So it's like God created this, like you know,
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: ideal body for the you know, the multiplication of human
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: being and life. Talk to me about how old you
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: were when you decided that you didn't want it anymore
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: and you said, I want to detransition. What was the
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: process where the light began to dawn?
• 58:05
  Speaker 13: So to recap briefly, eleven when I entered I took
• 58:08
  Speaker 13: on the identity, seventeen when I took the hormones, nineteen
• 58:11
  Speaker 13: when I had the surgery. About six months after I
• 58:14
  Speaker 13: had the surgery in December twenty twenty one January twenty
• 58:20
  Speaker 13: twenty two, I decided to go off the hormones because
• 58:23
  Speaker 13: I was experiencing all sorts of complications I was, you
• 58:27
  Speaker 13: need to go see a dynocologist who was trying to
• 58:29
  Speaker 13: sell me on a hysterectomy. And I thought, Okay, maybe
• 58:31
  Speaker 13: the fact that I'm on over ten different medications that
• 58:34
  Speaker 13: I'm not really feeling any better about myself, maybe that's
• 58:38
  Speaker 13: because transition was never the solution to begin with. And
• 58:41
  Speaker 13: so yeah, I went off with the hormones and the
• 58:43
  Speaker 13: rest is history.
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: So once the chemical changes occurred by not having the
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: hormones present, you kind of were like, what am I doing?
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: This doesn't make sense.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: It's huge.
• 58:55
  Speaker 13: And as you mentioned, I mean, our bodies are created
• 58:58
  Speaker 13: by God to reproduce, and whether or not we.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Are able to do that, or we end up wanting
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: to do that, or we can.
• 59:04
  Speaker 13: I think that that is a truth that our body
• 59:08
  Speaker 13: is developed on those premises. And so when you can't reproduce,
• 59:12
  Speaker 13: all sorts of other issues come along with it. And
• 59:14
  Speaker 13: so when you force yourself to subdue those parts of
• 59:17
  Speaker 13: your body, to suppress your indecreent system and your reproductive system,
• 59:20
  Speaker 13: it's not limited. The consequences are not limited to just
• 59:23
  Speaker 13: those systems. They're everywhere. They're systemic.
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: I wonder to what degree because we're still so new
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: in this practice of this, particularly on underaged people. I
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: just wonder if we're going to really regret exposure to
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: some of those hormones and other things in ways that
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: were unnatural. I hope that we don't. I hope that
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: there's not cancers and other problems that come about from it.
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: But it so concerns me. And if this is too intimate,
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: you don't have to answer, but I'm just curious. Are
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: you able to have children? Is that a goal? Is
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: that something you would like to accomplish someday?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 13: I would like to have kids one day. I don't
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 13: know where my fertility stands. I was married on the
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 13: first of this year, so my husband and I would
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 13: like to have children.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: It's just kind of up in the air right now.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: Well, we will be praying for you along those lines,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: because I do think that the scope of life and
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: kind of the and for women it's very different than men,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: and I think in many ways it's much more rewarding.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: It's a lot more work, I will guarantee you that,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: but I do think that motherhood is one of those
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: gifts that God gives us. It's not easy, is at
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: times very difficult, but I do think there's a lot
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: of joy that is sewn into that process. You also
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: happen to be a bit of an expert on social
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: media and it's connection to this, and as we are
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: moving into the AI era, you have some very strong
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: thoughts about how AI is impacting the classroom at the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: higher education level and also it's impact on this issue
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: as a whole. And when we come back from this
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: next break, I want to delve into some of that
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: aspects of this because I don't know that we've ever
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: discussed any connection between technology and the transition or the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: de transition movements. And I'm very very intrigued on a
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: personal level as to how we can help advance some
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: truth in that arena, so that maybe we help people
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: in even just hearing about you and your story, friends,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: if you'd like to know more about Soren, she can
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: be contacted through the Independent Women's Forum website. Her story
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: is there. There's a lot of great, great resources that
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: Independent Women's Forum makes available for people on this. You
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: can just check it out at IWF dot org. Coming
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: right back, it's Kevin McCollough from Times Square. Don't go
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 4: Anywhere's stick.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 5: Around for more of than Kevin next.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: Here he is from New York and Kevin McCullough, welcome back.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: It is that Kevin show grateful to have you with us.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: We are always thankful for people that are willing to
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: be vulnerable and transparent and tell their story and do
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: so with the idea of trying to help other people.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: And all of the people that I have talked with
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: from the ambassadorships of the Independent Women's Forum, particularly on
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: the issue of transitioning and detransitioning, have been willing to
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: really open up and tell us what their story consisted of.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 4: And I think that we've helped a lot of people
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: because of that. Soorn Al Doco is one of those
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: and she rejoins us. Soorin you talked about how the
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: internet chat rooms kind of played a role in your
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: own kind of going down the transitioning path. But I
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: have to think that with the adoption of AI and
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: the way just digital technology and information has changed, generally speaking,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: even since the time that you were a kid, that
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: that's only kind of had gasoline port on it in
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: terms of the steroidal effect of technology influencing some of this.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: What are your concerns with where we are technologically speaking,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: and how it does relate to the transition issue.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 13: So I think there's two key points here, the first
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 13: being that the algorithms underlying social media we've known for
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 13: a long time are sort of AI. There are sort
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 13: of artificial intelligence. The AI we're talking about today is generative,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 13: so it takes what has already been known to be
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 13: somewhat harmful to be somewhat manipulative.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 13: I think somewhat's a generous word, and it amplifies it tenfold.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 13: And when our young people are supposed to be developing
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 13: in our bodies, right, we just talked about the fact
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 13: that our bodies are developing rapidly during puberty, that that
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 13: development is key to our health long term when we
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 13: interfere with that, and whether that is through physically manipulating
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 13: someone or disrupting the mental lack of a better word, consolidation, right,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 13: like this integration of the mind with those changes in
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 13: the body, that has disastrous consequences too. I felt that
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 13: when I was going to puberty myself and I was
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 13: online chronically, and young people today who are blurring the
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 13: line between fantasy and reality through generative AI use, it
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 13: gets to be quite worrying.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: So how does this impact you know, what are we
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: seeing in terms of higher education, How this is impacting classrooms,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: How this is impacting school discussions that sometimes are still
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: taking place outside of the parents' purview. Even though the
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: President issued the executive order and has tried to make
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: some headway on this, there are school districts that are
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 4: still like thumbing their nose at the general public saying, no,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: we're still going to do this, We're still going to
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: hide this from the parents and kind of side with
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: the kids. Which, come on, I don't think kids actually
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: know what they want, you know, at ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: fourteen years of age. I'm not even sure that they
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: do in their mid twenties, but I certainly don't think
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: they do at that stage of life. So how is
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: technology impacting that?
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 13: Young people have this ability to think critically to some degree, right,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 13: like they're becoming adult like in a lot of processes.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 13: But what they lack is life experience, right, and this
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 13: ability to stay emotionally regulated. A lot of these social
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 13: media platforms, in particular, take advantage of our social instincts
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 13: to keep us in a stage of fight or flight,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 13: to keep us in what I like to call the
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 13: cycle of laugh, cry seed repeat, and when you add
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 13: generative AI into the mix.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: When you add this and for none.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: Of the don't have AI like, they've all none of
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: them do, They've all got their own AI version. So
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: I have to think that it's capturing all your search terms,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: every time you like something, every time you leave a comment.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking that the AI is continually relearning itself about
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: who you are.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 13: And we actually discovered recently that Google was doing a
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 13: form of this through the capshaws. So when we would
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 13: solve those little problems to prove that we're a human
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 13: being and not a robot when logging into say our bank,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 13: right that those were being used to train AI models.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: What's happening is that I can't identify a motorcycle, but that's.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, now an AI can, which is worrying.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 13: But I think in the classroom, and I can only
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 13: speak to the college level experience. I'm a graduate teaching
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 13: assistant at my university, and I don't speak on behalf
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 13: my university, but I feel like a lot of students
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 13: aren't engaging deeply with the material and whether that's because
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 13: they're using generative AI and we have caught some of
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 13: those right individuals who are cheating, they're also potentially witnessing
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 13: this kind of this osmosis. But then using AI in
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 13: one area of life could be affecting their functioning in
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 13: other areas. When they're no longer using AI, it's like
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 13: brain fog, almost.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: Losing the ability to discern, decipher.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 13: To critically think, to dig deeper because AI is doing
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 13: a lot of that thinking for them. So when we're
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 13: giving them an essay and we're saying, hey, like, connect
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 13: the thoughts between this character and this character, how are
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 13: they relating to one another? Because I help teach human
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 13: development courses, people are using their human intuition right, they
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 13: see relationships in everyday life. But that critical thinking, that analysis,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 13: that college is really designed to teach young people. That's
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 13: what I'm personally missing.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: Thoughtful humans can disregard AI because it's increasingly having impact
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: on the culture, and we want to continue to speak
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: to the culture and lean into the culture and influence it.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 4: So what's the solution.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 13: There's a lot more people who could talk about this
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 13: more eloquently than I, but I, in my experience, I'm
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 13: thinking teaching young people how to use it responsibly is
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 13: probably our first course of action.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: I know that.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 13: In my classes with my students, encouraging them to use
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 13: it in a manner that's self quizzing, for example. So
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 13: they're using it to ask them questions, so not to
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 13: provide them answers, but to look at what they already have,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 13: what they're already thinking, and make that even better by saying, hey,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 13: you've made point A and point B. What's the bridge
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 13: between those two points? I'm missing that. That's similar to
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 13: the feedback, but we might get them.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that's that's that's a good idea. All right,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: Soren Al doco next week is, by the way, friends,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: the Independent Women Forums Summit Annual Summit, and I'm going
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: to be broadcasting from the summit the day of it,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: and Soren will be with us that day too. But
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: thank you for coming in and being with us.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for having me.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 12: I got it.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 4: Kevin mckella coming right back from New York.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 12: Don't go away here, he is from New York.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: Exact Kevin McCollough.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome. It is Thursday that Kevin show that
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: kevinshow dot com for all things related, and you know
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: that we take time out of almost every show to
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: talk about something practical. But on Thursdays, I love it
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: because we get to set aside the newspaper for just
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: a second and say, Hey, how can we be a
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: better parent or grandparent this week? One little principal attribute,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 4: area of interest that we can focus on. And Shelley
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 4: Goldberg helps us with that every week. She's the former
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: parenting reporter for New York One. And if you're joining
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: us from anywhere else in the country, that is not
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 4: a TV station that you can get anywhere except in
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: New York City. But Shelley, you're around these parts. You're famous.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: Everybody says, oh, Shelley Goldberg. Yeah, I had no herd
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: New York One. But I'm appreciative that you come on
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: and that you help us with these things. And I
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 4: love today's topic. What are we gonna talk.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: About, Kevin.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 11: We're going to talk about how do you encourage a
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 11: love of reading with your kids? And the reason that
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 11: we and the love of reading is so important. Yes,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 11: it teaches us about life, It teaches us about ourselves
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 11: for sure. But if your kids feel connected to reading,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 11: that warm embrace literally will get them through the toughest times.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 11: In their life. You know, when life is difficult, when
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 11: there's a setback, when they're lonely, if they can curl
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 11: up with a book, that can be a major change,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 11: a major comfort. So we want to really develop kids
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 11: who love to read. And I'm hoping that over Christmas
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 11: and over the New Years, Kevin, hopefully there was a
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 11: lot of reading in your house. Maybe you read a
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 11: Christmas carol or the poem Twas the Night before Christmas.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 11: Maybe your kids God books his gifts, gave books as gifts.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 11: But we're moving into twenty twenty six and I'm going
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 11: to give you some great tips on how you can
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 11: really encourage that with your kids.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 11: Number One, you want to create a space, a reading space,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 11: mom and dad. It doesn't have to be a special room.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 11: It can be ten, it can be a fort. You
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 11: want some cushions, you want a little corner, and maybe
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 11: you put up a plaque that says Jonathan's reading room.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 11: But give them a space. It's great if the books
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 11: are accessible, you know, to their height. But again, even
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 11: if you're doing it with a comforter or a blanket,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 11: it's going to be wonderful. Two, go to the library often, Mom,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 11: and dad. That's once a week if you can't, but
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 11: a lot, not once a year. There's great things going
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 11: on in a library. There's story time, there's book clubs,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 11: there's the librarian who can recommend books. So many things happening,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 11: So put it on your radar and incorporate it into
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 11: your life. Bookstores also, if you can afford it and
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 11: spend the money, go to the bookstores and a you know,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 11: on a Saturday and just sprawl out on the floor
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 11: and let your kids go through the books. And maybe
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 11: you leave the bookstore with one new book.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 6: Three.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 11: Connect what your kids are reading to the real world.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 11: Reading about farm animals, go visit a far mom and dad,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 11: they love firefighters. Go to the local fire department. But
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 11: try to connect it to things that you see that
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 11: they're interested in. Be a great role model, Kevin. I
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 11: know that you are. I have no question. And you
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 11: want to have books in every room. So that means
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 11: cookbooks in the kitchen. It just the books are not
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 11: just on the bookshelf. There's magazines, there's books. I mean, yes,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 11: they're organized, you know, they're not just all over the floor.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 11: But have books everywhere. You want to talk about what
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 11: you're reading. So maybe, Kevin, at dinner, you say to Jonathan,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 11: do you know what I found out today? Do you
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 11: know what I found fascinating in this book I was
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 11: reading or in this article I was reading. You talk
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 11: about what you're reading and how it's impacted your life
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 11: and how it's made you think about something in a
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 11: whole new way. Six. Encourage relatives and friends to give
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 11: your kids books as gifts for their birthday, for the holidays,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 11: but let them know that that would be a good thing,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 11: along with toys they might want to give. But certainly
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 11: you welcome books for your kids. Seven. Read books in
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 11: crazy places, Kevin, or unusual places, or in an unusual way.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 11: That means a flashlight under the covers. It means maybe
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 11: a picnic. You're out on the picnic blanket, dress up
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 11: as a character from the book. Have your kids act
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 11: out the story or read to Grandma on FaceTime, but
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 11: try and do it in an interesting and novel way. Eight.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 11: Let your kids choose, Kevin. You might want to encourage
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 11: your kids to read the books that you loved as
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 11: a child, and that's wonderful. But if you see there
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 11: that your kids love humorous books or books about space,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 11: go there, let them move in the direction that's interesting
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 11: to them. Nine read aloud together. Even if your child
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 11: is a great reader, it's the connection. It's the closeness,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 11: it's sitting next to you and feeling safe and warmth.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 11: So if your child is a great reader, you read
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 11: one line of the book, they read the next, or
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 11: they read one page, you read the next. Those memories,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 11: those are memories you made forever, and that connection is
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 11: really building a child that's going to love, love, love reading.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: Ten.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 11: If you can subscribe to age appropriate magazines, there's nothing
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 11: more exciting for a child than to get nail that's
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 11: addressed to them.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: Right right, Very powerful stuff, all right.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 11: Eleven, Think outside the box. Maybe your child enjoys reading
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 11: the nutritional labels on the milk carton, or maybe what
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 11: they love to read are the instructions, you know, the
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 11: game instructions. But you might have a quirky kid that
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 11: loves reading things that you know are more than more
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 11: than or in addition to a book, courage it encourage storytelling.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 11: So Kevin sit around the table and you might say
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 11: tonight's my time, my turn, Once upon a time, and
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 11: then Kevin begin telling a short story and then the
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 11: next night it's your daughter's responsibility or her turn to
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 11: come up with a story. But encourage storytelling around the table,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 11: because that really is part of the foundation that builds readers.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 11: Travel with books. Don't always rely on the tablet or
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 11: the phone. Travel with books wherever you go, dentist's office,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 11: doctor's office, you going to another city, make sure you
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 11: have books. And in the end, Kevin, raising lifelong readers,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 11: so much of it is about the connection your child
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 11: is making to the person they're reading with. By the way,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 11: with young children, you know, if you have toddlers, they're
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 11: going to ask you to reread their favorite book book
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 11: at least a thousand times. Do it because young children
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 11: love that. They love the repetition. Kevin, your thoughts and.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: Sometimes just change up some of the story just to
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 4: see if they're paying attention. I'm kidding. No, we're short
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: on time, but great stuff. And I'm very blessed because
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: my kids, depending on the interest, they do, have a
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: love of reading. Especially my daughter, she's almost insatiable, and
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: she and her mom did have many of those moments
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: where they would sit and read together and sometimes even
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: still do so it's kind of kind of fun to
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: watch that all take place. Shelley Goldberg. Always appreciate you.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: Kevin mccallaugh coming back from Times Square. It's that Kevin show.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: Don't go well, stick around.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 5: For more of that Kevin next.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 10: I'm serving it up with a no drink mental. It's
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 10: that Kevin show.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: All right, Calvin mccallaugh, Glad to have you with us,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: Welcome back. It's always gat I'm always grateful to have
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 4: you with us, and we get to do some fun
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 4: things here, like dispel some of the rumors about President Trump.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 14: You're expecting to name another Supreme Court justice. The speculation
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 14: is is that Justice Alito will step down this summer.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 15: Well, in many ways, I have to tell you, while
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 15: it's an honor, I think he is one of the
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 15: great justices of all time. So you know, it'd be
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 15: nice to say now I have somebody for forty years
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 15: of justice. Alito is an unbelievable justice and a brilliant justice,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 15: and he gets the country.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: You know, he does what's right for the country.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 15: It's the law, and he goes by it as much
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 15: as anybody, but he gets to the point that's good
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 15: for our country. So you know when you tell me
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 15: that you know one way, you should be. Oh, I'm thrilled,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 15: but he's so good.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 14: But I mean, if there is a vacancy, do you
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 14: have a short list of people that you would need.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: If you do, do.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 14: You expect that we will see changed by year?
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: En you mean on the Supreme Court?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: I mean I don't know.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 15: I think Justice a Leader is in very good physical health.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: Because you mentioned his name, what about Clarence Thomas?
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 14: I'm just thinking about the oldest Republicans.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 15: Look, you know there's a theory you reach a certain
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 15: age and you give up your seat to if you
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 15: have the president. Well, look what happens to Justice Skinsberg.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 15: She was not exactly a young woman. The election was taken.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 15: They had a Democrat who could have appointed a liberal justice.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 15: And the liberals do stick together. There's one thing about
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 15: those justices. They stick together like glue, not like the Republicans.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 15: But she decided that she was going to live forever,
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 15: and about two minutes after the election she went out
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 15: and I got to appoint somebody. So, you know, you
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 15: make the case at a certain time, you give it
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 15: up so that you can have a Justice. You know,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 15: the average is like forty years. It's a long time,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 15: so that your ideology, your policy is your everything would
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 15: be of the kind that we like. But it's probably
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 15: not easy to give up for people, you know, they
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 15: reach it.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 4: I like the fact that this guy just speaks in
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: just normal everyday language, and he's exactly right. There's a
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: lot of there's a lot of preening and posturing and positioning.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: I'm going to make this prediction. I don't think Justice
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 4: Alito is going to give up his seat. He seems
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: to be still kind of on the young side, certainly
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: very capable, certainly seems to be in good physical health.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 4: And I think the same is true of Clarence Thomas.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 4: They've both been there since well, I guess Alito was
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 4: under George W. Bush. Thomas has been there since Reagan.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: And I just think that we're talking about or George H. W.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: Bush that era at least, And I just I just
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: think you're talking about two really really strong, constitutionally minded people.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: But yeah, Maria trusts me. He's got a shortlist of folks.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 4: One last legal note for the President tonight, the Federal
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: Appeals Court that would have been in line in the
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: Second Circuit to take up Donald Trump's request to rehear
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 4: the appeal of his eighty three million dollar judgment in
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 4: the defamation case brought against E. Gen Carroll. They've passed on,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: so now Trump can appeal that case directly to the
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court. And for all of the people that continue
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: to say that, you know, he's been convicted of certain
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 4: crimes that he's never been convicted of, this is good
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 4: news for the President. And I think that they probably
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 4: will hear that very soon. She brought the charges like
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 4: thirty five, forty fifty years later, after supposedly everything happened,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: and had no witnesses and no evidence to know anything else,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 4: But she did have you know, some shall we say,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: activist judges on her side. Calvin mccallaugh, thank you for
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 4: being here. We will see you next time.
