- 0:02Speaker 1: you see the North Carolina marching bands playing amazing grace? Well,
- 0:06Speaker 1: let's ask our American mamas.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Mama, she said, and joining us now are American mama's
- 0:23Speaker 2: Terry Nedeville and Kimberly Burlson.
- 0:24Speaker 1: So over the weekend, North Carolina and wake Forest in
- 0:29Speaker 1: c State and Wake Forest were playing football and the
- 0:33Speaker 1: bands did a joint concert on the field at the halftime,
- 0:38Speaker 1: and so the bands integrated amongst each other and they
- 0:40Speaker 1: played amazing Grace. Here's a little bit of that. Wow,
- 1:21Speaker 1: beautiful stuff.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, that's such good stuff.
- 1:26Speaker 4: I can only imagine what it was like to be
- 1:29Speaker 4: there in that moment were both and they did this
- 1:33Speaker 4: in honor and also a memory of those that have
- 1:35Speaker 4: been affected by the hurricane.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Well, and there's still like ninety two people on accounted
- 1:40Speaker 1: for right, yeah, in North Carolina.
- 1:42Speaker 4: I don't know whose idea that was, but that was
- 1:44Speaker 4: a beautiful idea of Where did you see it?
- 1:46Speaker 3: I have not seen X anywhere.
- 1:48Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe it was Instagram one of those
- 1:50Speaker 4: reels you know how you get lost.
- 1:52Speaker 3: I mean, that should be everywhere.
- 1:53Speaker 4: That's the point is, these are the things that make
- 1:57Speaker 4: me wonder what.
- 1:59Speaker 3: Else have we not been are we missing out on?
- 2:01Speaker 4: Yeah, because you know, the mainstream media kind of has
- 2:05Speaker 4: you know, they kind of have the control over what
- 2:07Speaker 4: people see the narrative. Why wouldn't that be one of
- 2:11Speaker 4: the you know, in the lineup at the beginning of it,
- 2:14Speaker 4: the feel good Yeah, yeah.
- 2:16Speaker 1: That's actually because our show is actually based off of
- 2:19Speaker 1: traditional thirty minute newscast format and the last we call
- 2:24Speaker 1: our moment of woe. But in traditional news, they have
- 2:27Speaker 1: what's called the kicker, and the kicker is supposed to
- 2:30Speaker 1: be these field good stories. And some of the best
- 2:33Speaker 1: journalists I have ever seen produce excellent kicker stories where
- 2:37Speaker 1: they find these feel goods and they go and interview
- 2:40Speaker 1: them and I, you know, Steve Hartman's oh yes, it's
- 2:44Speaker 1: excellent at this. But I haven't seen this anywhere except
- 2:48Speaker 1: on this one Instagram post. I just I just haven't
- 2:50Speaker 1: seen anywhere else.
- 2:51Speaker 4: And it's being shared. But you're right, and that's probably
- 2:55Speaker 4: why Paul Harvey was so popular. He had in two
- 2:57Speaker 4: minutes you know it new you know at lunchtime.
- 3:00Speaker 1: In producing our show, we definitely steal from from Paul
- 3:03Speaker 1: Harvey's mindset. In our writing and stuff like that, we
- 3:07Speaker 1: try and.
- 3:09Speaker 4: Think about why he was so popular. It was because
- 3:12Speaker 4: he did share the feel good stories, the bright spots,
- 3:15Speaker 4: the interesting ones, the things that tied like you start
- 3:17Speaker 4: here and you end up. You know, he ties it
- 3:19Speaker 4: with a bow and you're like, WHOA didn't see that twist?
- 3:22Speaker 4: You know? The love story. I used to love it too,
- 3:26Speaker 4: and I was a little girl. But the fact that
- 3:29Speaker 4: this is not being shown lets me know once again,
- 3:32Speaker 4: I never realized how Christians were under attack until like
- 3:37Speaker 4: in the last ten years. And it is only because
- 3:42Speaker 4: that it is a hymn amazing grace that that is
- 3:46Speaker 4: not being shared. You think it's because I personally believe
- 3:49Speaker 4: that it's.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Perhaps the most famous hymn the world.
- 3:51Speaker 4: There's no other reason, because this is such a unifying
- 3:54Speaker 4: thing that the bands have done for both of these
- 3:57Speaker 4: teams and all of these spectators. And anytime you have
- 4:03Speaker 4: something that feels good, that has a Christian temperament and
- 4:07Speaker 4: around it, it's it's kind of mixed on the mainstream media.
- 4:11Speaker 1: See, I thought it wasn't being shared because it was
- 4:13Speaker 1: highlighting the tragedy North Carolina, which of course highlights yet
- 4:17Speaker 1: another Biden administration failure.
- 4:20Speaker 3: That could be too It could be how they see it. Yeah,
- 4:22Speaker 3: could I see it as unifying? I feel like this
- 4:25Speaker 3: is very much how our country is. When one of
- 4:28Speaker 3: us is hurt, we all come together to bring it
- 4:31Speaker 3: up states and that's what we're seeing. But they seem
- 4:34Speaker 3: to not want to show that right now.
- 4:36Speaker 4: What's interesting is Kimerlate. The college kids, they're leading the way.
- 4:42Speaker 4: They're leading the charge. I just saw that just this
- 4:45Speaker 4: over the weekend at Arkansas, the Razorbacks. They had ten
- 4:48Speaker 4: thousand students show up for this like revival, this Christian
- 4:52Speaker 4: music thing. And we talked about it a couple of
- 4:55Speaker 4: weeks ago about how ou and Arizona stay the college
- 5:00Speaker 4: the college age kids, that generation is saying, hey, y'all
- 5:04Speaker 4: do you but we're gonna do it our way because
- 5:06Speaker 4: when things get so topsy turvy and unstable and doesn't
- 5:10Speaker 4: feel right and you're so confused, who do we have
- 5:13Speaker 4: to look up to? But God? And they are leading
- 5:16Speaker 4: the charge and I'm so grateful for it. And this
- 5:18Speaker 4: is another way the college kids led the way and
- 5:21Speaker 4: they're teaching us when you have nowhere else to go,
- 5:25Speaker 4: whether it's the Biden administration or government in itself. We
- 5:29Speaker 4: always have God. God is our ultimate healer and he's
- 5:33Speaker 4: the one that we can look to for to guide
- 5:35Speaker 4: us into this life, in this life of ours. So
- 5:38Speaker 4: I give all credit to Wake Forest in North Carolina
- 5:40Speaker 4: State for that.
- 5:42Speaker 1: And amazing grace is a song of praise. We'll be
- 5:45Speaker 1: able to say praise even in the midst of tragedy
- 5:47Speaker 1: is a beautiful thing. If you like desk our America
