- 1:19Speaker 2: Here all right, welcome man, It's That Kevin Show. Kevin McCullough,
- 1:28Speaker 2: very glad to have you with us. Kicking off a
- 1:30Speaker 2: brand new week and we have got a lot to
- 1:32Speaker 2: get to because it has been a busy end of
- 1:35Speaker 2: the weekend into a brand new week, and there's just
- 1:38Speaker 2: so much going on. You may have heard the President
- 1:41Speaker 2: pretty proud of himself touting a deal coming in the
- 1:46Speaker 2: Iran conflict, one that would give the Strait of Hormuz
- 1:50Speaker 2: and automatic green light, remove the naval blockade by American forces,
- 1:54Speaker 2: and end the conflict in both Lebanon and Iran. The
- 2:00Speaker 2: details of all of it yet to still be seen
- 2:02Speaker 2: by me and other people that are in the media,
- 2:06Speaker 2: but the Pakistanis have also released a statement saying that
- 2:09Speaker 2: they're in support of it, and it seems as though
- 2:12Speaker 2: while the Iranian press had a slightly different version of
- 2:15Speaker 2: what was being discussed than the one that President Trump presented,
- 2:19Speaker 2: it seems that they are consistent in some very very
- 2:22Speaker 2: key ways that actually kind of makes me think this
- 2:26Speaker 2: might be a deal. They might be close to a deal.
- 2:29Speaker 2: There might actually be a deal here. And if that's
- 2:33Speaker 2: if that's the case, if that's the true, honest case,
- 2:37Speaker 2: then we are in as good a position as we
- 2:39Speaker 2: can be on this Monday, and I'm just thrilled to
- 2:41Speaker 2: have you with us. Obviously, this is going to impact
- 2:44Speaker 2: the markets. Obviously, this is going to impact the political
- 2:48Speaker 2: season that we're in, even the remaining primaries that are
- 2:51Speaker 2: going to be a run. Yet, if the President is
- 2:53Speaker 2: able to nail down a deal on Iran and he's
- 2:59Speaker 2: accomplish his objectives removing the nuclear threat completely, getting the
- 3:04Speaker 2: straight open, and secondarily realigning this is not a primary focus,
- 3:10Speaker 2: but secondarily realigning the Middle East around a non nuclear
- 3:16Speaker 2: powered Iran where the whole neighborhood lives at quiet with
- 3:22Speaker 2: one another, be they Iranian or Saudi or the ones
- 3:29Speaker 2: that kind of fall in line with each which all
- 3:31Speaker 2: of the Arab states fall fall in line with the
- 3:34Speaker 2: Saudist But if that is actually something that's able to
- 3:38Speaker 2: be done, this is a very very exciting day, and
- 3:42Speaker 2: the President is writing that momentum as he arrives in
- 3:48Speaker 2: France with the whole purpose at the G seven to
- 3:55Speaker 2: get this done. And let me just give you another
- 3:57Speaker 2: little update because this is kind of this is out
- 4:00Speaker 2: of incredible. It seems as though the Europeans now after
- 4:06Speaker 2: having said, you know, all of the nasty things they've
- 4:09Speaker 2: said about Trump in the midst of all this. The
- 4:13Speaker 2: interesting thing about this now is that you've got the French,
- 4:16Speaker 2: mister Macrone saying that they will send their mind sweeping
- 4:21Speaker 2: technology to the Strait of Horror Moves to help ensure
- 4:25Speaker 2: the safety of that body of water and to get
- 4:28Speaker 2: it ready for the opening to take place in a
- 4:31Speaker 2: safe way. This is exactly, by the way, what the
- 4:34Speaker 2: Brits and the French should be doing. The Brits and
- 4:38Speaker 2: the French should both be saying, oh, yes, we're the
- 4:42Speaker 2: ones that benefit from that, so that should be something
- 4:45Speaker 2: that we do. And the Brits said a couple of
- 4:47Speaker 2: weeks ago that they're they're sending their crew and now
- 4:50Speaker 2: if the French join them. Because it's Europe that benefits
- 4:53Speaker 2: from the Strait of Horror Moves, it's not the US.
- 4:55Speaker 2: It's not the West, uh, the Far West. We don't
- 4:59Speaker 2: have anything that goes through there. That's just to get
- 5:02Speaker 2: oil to Europe and a few European goods down to Iran,
- 5:07Speaker 2: but it's not really anything. And and to Asia, by
- 5:10Speaker 2: the way, there's there's some trade that goes from Europe
- 5:14Speaker 2: to Asia that goes to the Straight of Hord Moves,
- 5:16Speaker 2: but it's mostly you know it, it's mostly for the
- 5:20Speaker 2: Europeans and for the Asians to be able to have
- 5:24Speaker 2: kind of a quick pass through instead of having to
- 5:26Speaker 2: go all the way down around the Horn of Africa
- 5:29Speaker 2: and then back up. Nobody wants to do that, So
- 5:33Speaker 2: that is that is the That is the big news
- 5:36Speaker 2: on the international front today. The US is going to
- 5:39Speaker 2: lift some sanctions if Iran gives up nuclear ambitions, but
- 5:43Speaker 2: it's going to come with proper verification. This is the
- 5:46Speaker 2: Vice President saying this today. He confirmed that the US
- 5:49Speaker 2: is willing to lift some sanctions against Iran, but only
- 5:52Speaker 2: if Tehran makes the long term commitment to abandon not
- 5:57Speaker 2: to have it be monitored, not to have a nuclear
- 6:00Speaker 2: program that's monitored. We cannot trust the Iranians to have
- 6:05Speaker 2: anything that's monitored, because if who's going to monitor the monitors?
- 6:09Speaker 2: But the Vice President saying during an appearance on ABC
- 6:12Speaker 2: News that the Iranian commitment would need to include proper verification.
- 6:17Speaker 2: On the other hand, if they continue to rebuild their
- 6:19Speaker 2: nuclear program, this deal ensures that they will never have
- 6:21Speaker 2: the resources in order to do that. On the other hand,
- 6:24Speaker 2: if the Iranians are willing to give up long term
- 6:26Speaker 2: commitment along with a proper verification to give up that
- 6:29Speaker 2: nuclear weapon, we're willing to welcome them into the world economy,
- 6:33Speaker 2: to lift some sanctions and to turn over a new
- 6:34Speaker 2: leaf in that relationship. And the Biden team didn't seem
- 6:38Speaker 2: to be bothered by it, and they went right back
- 6:40Speaker 2: to it when they had the four years in between
- 6:45Speaker 2: Trump's two terms. Now, if it was George W. Bush
- 6:49Speaker 2: or some traditional Republicans, there would be a different approach
- 6:52Speaker 2: to this, which would basically be my way or the highway,
- 6:57Speaker 2: and there's no middle room, and there's no there's not
- 6:59Speaker 2: even consideration for any middle room. There would be the
- 7:03Speaker 2: implication that we need to we need to have more war.
- 7:08Speaker 2: There would be the implication that this amount of intervention
- 7:12Speaker 2: that we've done will never be enough. And so the
- 7:15Speaker 2: option is basically with the Obama on the far left,
- 7:19Speaker 2: just let them do whatever they want to do and
- 7:21Speaker 2: pretend that they're being held accountable. And the far right
- 7:25Speaker 2: or the traditional Republican viewpoint, which is they're bad, they're evil.
- 7:29Speaker 2: We must wipe them off the face of the planet.
- 7:32Speaker 2: We must install their next leader, we must figure out
- 7:34Speaker 2: all these things for them. When we didn't learn our
- 7:36Speaker 2: lesson on that in Iraq or Afghanistan, Trump approaches it
- 7:42Speaker 2: completely differently. We have, by the way, lost fewer people
- 7:47Speaker 2: in this conflict than any modern military campaign in the
- 7:51Speaker 2: history of the country. Don't you believe that that is
- 7:54Speaker 2: worth noting. We've lost less people in this entire conflict
- 7:58Speaker 2: than Joe Biden law in bringing and just bringing people home.
- 8:03Speaker 2: You remember, he lost thirteen of our finest because of
- 8:07Speaker 2: the chaos that his plan had overrunning the Kabul airport
- 8:13Speaker 2: and all the problems that that brought with it, and
- 8:17Speaker 2: we lost thirteen. Men and women are very very best
- 8:21Speaker 2: in uniform. Thus far, since the Iran conflict has broken out,
- 8:27Speaker 2: eight US service members have lost their lives, four of
- 8:30Speaker 2: which were not even involved in the Iranian conflict. They
- 8:33Speaker 2: weren't even in the region. They were involved in a
- 8:37Speaker 2: training accident on a refueling project and it was tragic,
- 8:40Speaker 2: but that that had nothing to do with the conflicts.
- 8:43Speaker 2: So if you really look at the losses due to
- 8:45Speaker 2: the conflict, we've lost four. We could have lost another
- 8:48Speaker 2: two last week. But those new drone boats that we
- 8:51Speaker 2: have that found the guys, it's so cool to see
- 8:54Speaker 2: what people what we can do now, I mean, it's
- 8:57Speaker 2: really amazing. Literally, the boat had no people on it
- 9:01Speaker 2: and it went out searching and it found the two
- 9:04Speaker 2: Apache helicopter crew that were in the in the in
- 9:07Speaker 2: the waters in the strait of Hormvees, and it got
- 9:10Speaker 2: them back to their to their boat without any without
- 9:13Speaker 2: any further injury or damage, and they survived. So, considering
- 9:21Speaker 2: what we will have accomplished in keeping Iran nuclear free,
- 9:27Speaker 2: getting the straight of horm moves open, reducing the price
- 9:30Speaker 2: of oil globally today it's down significantly, it seems to
- 9:34Speaker 2: me that the president is on the right track. Do
- 9:40Speaker 2: you agree or disagree? Let me know that Kevin Show
- 9:43Speaker 2: at gmail dot com, that Kevin Show at gmail dot com,
- 9:46Speaker 2: that Kevin Show at gmail dot com, or on any
- 9:48Speaker 2: of my social media. Calvin mccallaugh, We've got a lot
- 9:50Speaker 2: to get to. I don't go anything here.
- 10:11Speaker 1: He is from New York, That Kevin McCulloch.
- 10:17Speaker 2: All right, Kelvin McCullough, glad to have you back with us.
- 10:19Speaker 2: It's a big busy week. Still not officially summer for
- 10:22Speaker 2: most of the Tri state area. You've still got kids
- 10:25Speaker 2: in school here, but I know much of the rest
- 10:27Speaker 2: of the country you are already on the summer schedule.
- 10:30Speaker 2: So whether you are or not, welcome back. We're glad
- 10:32Speaker 2: to have you. You know that in this part of the show,
- 10:34Speaker 2: every day we ask the big question. You know that
- 10:36Speaker 2: I say often that we don't ask the big questions
- 10:39Speaker 2: nearly enough. Well, we ask this question every single day.
- 10:42Speaker 2: How do we live? How do we live in the
- 10:43Speaker 2: context of a world, a culture, a society that despises God,
- 10:49Speaker 2: looks on those who read his word as having something
- 10:52Speaker 2: wrong with him, and really doesn't want to see the
- 10:55Speaker 2: will of God done in the culture around us. Does
- 10:58Speaker 2: that make us isolate or bubble out or get resentful
- 11:03Speaker 2: and responsive in that way.
- 11:06Speaker 6: No.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Our mission stays the same, to winsomely tell the lost
- 11:11Speaker 2: and broken world about the Gospel, about the goodness, about
- 11:14Speaker 2: the joy, about the faithfulness of God, and how he
- 11:17Speaker 2: overcomes our sin and he can overcome their sin. I'm very,
- 11:20Speaker 2: very pleased to have back with us Joey Newton, who
- 11:23Speaker 2: is part of Newtown Bible Church in Connecticut. He was
- 11:26Speaker 2: with us last year when we were just doing this
- 11:28Speaker 2: locally in the New York area. But Joey, we are
- 11:31Speaker 2: now in four hundred stations across the country and in
- 11:35Speaker 2: all top top fifty markets. Thank you for coming back,
- 11:39Speaker 2: Thank you for spending this week with us. I think
- 11:41Speaker 2: it's going to be a really good week.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Thank you Kevin for having me, and congratulations.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Thank you. When we're talking about conversations that Jesus has
- 11:53Speaker 2: in scripture, there's not a whole bunch of them that
- 11:55Speaker 2: we get to peek in on. There's a few over
- 11:57Speaker 2: the course of his life, but the one we're going
- 11:59Speaker 2: to look at this week comes from Luke eighteen. What
- 12:01Speaker 2: are we looking at?
- 12:03Speaker 3: We're looking at Jesus's encounter with what is typically called
- 12:07Speaker 3: is the rich young ruler, because he was wealthy, and
- 12:10Speaker 3: he was young, and he had a position of prominence.
- 12:14Speaker 3: In doing so, Jesus really addresses the very heart of
- 12:17Speaker 3: what repentance is, and particularly having to explain that to
- 12:21Speaker 3: someone who was steeped in religion and by all accounts
- 12:25Speaker 3: by those of who observed him, would have been thought
- 12:27Speaker 3: to be someone who knew God and was a part
- 12:29Speaker 3: of his kingdom. And so this conversation takes on a
- 12:32Speaker 3: particular importance because of those things.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's one of the things that
- 12:36Speaker 2: Jesus continually surprised people with over the course of his
- 12:40Speaker 2: time on earth, was that the people that were thought
- 12:43Speaker 2: to be wise and religious and you know, kind of
- 12:47Speaker 2: the foremost examples just about always got it wrong they
- 12:54Speaker 2: thought about their relationship to God. But there's an earnestness
- 12:58Speaker 2: at least in the asking of the question initially that
- 13:01Speaker 2: this person has there.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Is and that's really one of the striking features about it.
- 13:06Speaker 3: And you know, there is certainly much that people get wrong,
- 13:11Speaker 3: but one of the striking fact features of particularly this
- 13:15Speaker 3: conversation is that there was a lot that this man
- 13:18Speaker 3: also had right. And I think it was in Mark
- 13:20Speaker 3: where the account is also recorded, and it says that
- 13:23Speaker 3: Jesus loved him. There was a sincerity about this man.
- 13:27Speaker 3: And yet with all of his sincerity and all that
- 13:29Speaker 3: he did, he missed the main thing, and he walked
- 13:32Speaker 3: away from that conversation without salvation as far as we
- 13:35Speaker 3: knew from the biblical record.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and boy, I cannot help but understand the ease
- 13:42Speaker 2: of context in today's culture that we could apply there.
- 13:46Speaker 2: But just for the sake of those who are listening
- 13:48Speaker 2: for the first time, it may not have a lot
- 13:50Speaker 2: of spiritual history or Bible experience. Talk to us about
- 13:56Speaker 2: the parallel between the rich young ruler and the first
- 14:00Speaker 2: century America.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Well, the parallel is is that one of the great
- 14:05Speaker 3: themes that runs through Scripture and particularly in the ministry
- 14:08Speaker 3: of Jesus, is this reality that there is the possibility
- 14:13Speaker 3: of being very connected to the Christian faith, to religion,
- 14:17Speaker 3: while at the same time missing the very heart of it,
- 14:20Speaker 3: that is, not having eternal life. And so the great
- 14:24Speaker 3: warning of scripture, and it is and it is a
- 14:26Speaker 3: warning by the mercy of God, is that we need
- 14:30Speaker 3: to be careful that we're not substituting the reality of
- 14:33Speaker 3: repentance and faith and what eternal life actually is with
- 14:38Speaker 3: some false representation of it or some wrong idea. You know,
- 14:44Speaker 3: one of the most severe warnings that Jesus gave is
- 14:47Speaker 3: that there is a broad way that leads to destruction
- 14:50Speaker 3: and a narrow path that leads to life. And the
- 14:53Speaker 3: interesting thing about that is both of those paths are
- 14:57Speaker 3: labeled salvation are a labeled you know, the end, the
- 15:01Speaker 3: end is going to be heaven, but only one leads there.
- 15:04Speaker 3: And so getting that right is the most important question
- 15:07Speaker 3: that anyone faces.
- 15:09Speaker 4: I remember one of the.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Striking just outside the scripture, but representations of that actually
- 15:15Speaker 3: Kevin John Bunyan in his famous book The Pilgrim's Progress
- 15:19Speaker 3: and after he gives.
- 15:20Speaker 4: That whole story you might remember.
- 15:21Speaker 3: And at the very end he talks about Ignorance, who
- 15:26Speaker 3: made it across this river, this body of water representing death,
- 15:31Speaker 3: and he did it rather easily, whereas Christians struggled a
- 15:33Speaker 3: bit and needed the help of his friend Hopeful. But
- 15:37Speaker 3: once he got across, rather than being ushered into the gates,
- 15:40Speaker 3: he was actually taken away to judgment. And he makes
- 15:44Speaker 3: this Bunyan does this striking statement. He says, then I
- 15:47Speaker 3: saw that there was a way to Hell, even from
- 15:50Speaker 3: the gate of Heaven, as well as from the city
- 15:52Speaker 3: of destruction.
- 15:54Speaker 4: So this is something we need to get right.
- 15:57Speaker 2: And he said that he did some right thing was
- 16:00Speaker 2: what were the right things that he did well?
- 16:03Speaker 3: To begin with, At the very beginning of the context
- 16:07Speaker 3: is he came to Jesus. He says, the ruler came
- 16:10Speaker 3: up to Jesus, and he came up to him with
- 16:12Speaker 3: a sincere attitude and with a measure of humility. It says,
- 16:15Speaker 3: he fell down before him. So he came to the
- 16:19Speaker 3: right place. He wasn't going somewhere else. He went to Jesus.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Jesus was a compelling person. He is, you know, throughout
- 16:26Speaker 3: the whole of history. Ever since disappearing, But you can
- 16:30Speaker 3: imagine even being in his presence. I mean, wherever he went,
- 16:32Speaker 3: he drew a crowd. He was compelling in his teaching,
- 16:35Speaker 3: he was compelling in the works of power that were
- 16:38Speaker 3: authenticating who he was. He was compelling in his very presence.
- 16:43Speaker 4: So the first.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Things he came to Jesus and he asked him a question,
- 16:48Speaker 3: and he came with a posture of heart that by
- 16:51Speaker 3: all external measures seemed to be exactly right and what
- 16:57Speaker 3: he should have. And he came with the right question
- 16:59Speaker 3: as well. He asked him what must I do to
- 17:02Speaker 3: inherit eternal life? And again that really is the most
- 17:07Speaker 3: important question.
- 17:09Speaker 2: Well, it seems like he was on his way to
- 17:15Speaker 2: where Jesus would want any of us to go, to
- 17:18Speaker 2: Jesus himself asking the most important question we can ask
- 17:22Speaker 2: in our lifetime.
- 17:24Speaker 4: Well, that's true.
- 17:25Speaker 3: But the striking thing about Jesus, as in contradiction to
- 17:29Speaker 3: much of the evangelism we see today, is he just
- 17:31Speaker 3: didn't take things at face value. He pushed in a
- 17:34Speaker 3: little bit further and really to get behind or get
- 17:38Speaker 3: into the intent of this ruler and essentially forcing him
- 17:43Speaker 3: to look at well, do you know what that means,
- 17:45Speaker 3: do you know what you're really asking? And as the
- 17:47Speaker 3: conversation goes on, what will be exposed is he didn't
- 17:52Speaker 3: really have a right understanding of what eternal life meant.
- 17:56Speaker 3: He didn't really understand what it was that was required
- 18:00Speaker 3: to follow Christ and to enter into the salvation that
- 18:03Speaker 3: he came to bring. And so you know, the example
- 18:07Speaker 3: we have is that we need, first of all, to
- 18:10Speaker 3: be clear on what it is to have eternal life,
- 18:14Speaker 3: and we need to be sure not to be too
- 18:17Speaker 3: easily moved by what at first has the appearance of
- 18:22Speaker 3: a right attitude or the right question, and to put
- 18:26Speaker 3: a little deeper when we have the opportunity to do so.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about that, because you point out in
- 18:33Speaker 2: your commentary on this that he knew he did not
- 18:37Speaker 2: have eternal life. But how did you know that he
- 18:40Speaker 2: didn't If he didn't know what eternal life was, how
- 18:44Speaker 2: did he know that he didn't have it?
- 18:47Speaker 3: Well, you know that's the interesting thing, is I mean,
- 18:50Speaker 3: of course, the descriptive in our.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Condition is still does a pretty good job twenty four
- 18:54Speaker 2: hours a day of reminding us how corrupt we are.
- 18:56Speaker 2: But what what do you actually getting at here in
- 19:00Speaker 2: terms of him pressing in on the eternal life issue.
- 19:03Speaker 2: What was the concept to him if it wasn't what
- 19:06Speaker 2: we think of it is, as you know in our
- 19:08Speaker 2: kind of modern context.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Well, again, that's an interesting feature because by all accounts,
- 19:15Speaker 3: he was a good faithful Jew. He certainly believed in
- 19:18Speaker 3: the Covenant and would have participated in all of the
- 19:21Speaker 3: sacrifices and all the religious structures and systems and liturgies
- 19:26Speaker 3: and so forth that were a part of the religion.
- 19:28Speaker 3: But he knew he was missing something internally, and most
- 19:33Speaker 3: likely I think the guest's.
- 19:35Speaker 4: Inference and this is just an inference.
- 19:37Speaker 3: The text doesn't tell us, but that while he may
- 19:41Speaker 3: have been fine up until the point of really encountering Christ,
- 19:45Speaker 3: and when he saw him and saw his disciples, it
- 19:48Speaker 3: seems to have provoked in him some realization that, well.
- 19:53Speaker 4: I don't have what they have.
- 19:56Speaker 3: There's something different about him here. He is is making
- 20:00Speaker 3: these claims, and he's observing his life and those who
- 20:05Speaker 3: are following him, and the clear implication is that he's realizing,
- 20:10Speaker 3: whatever I have, I don't have that, and that's what
- 20:14Speaker 3: I need.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Which is exactly how the followers of Jesus should be
- 20:19Speaker 2: leaving impressions today as we go about our right. So
- 20:22Speaker 2: we've just barely scratched the surface here, friend, and we're
- 20:25Speaker 2: going to spend all week on Luke eighteen and the
- 20:28Speaker 2: rich own Ruler and kind of what it means to
- 20:30Speaker 2: us in answering the question how do we live? Joey
- 20:33Speaker 2: Newton is with this, doctor Joy Newton from Newtown Bible
- 20:36Speaker 2: Church in Newtown, Connecticut. And Joey, thank you for coming
- 20:39Speaker 2: back this year and we look forward to a great
- 20:41Speaker 2: week together.
- 20:42Speaker 3: Yeah, and thanks for having me and I really look
- 20:44Speaker 3: forward to pressing in a bit more on this as well.
- 20:46Speaker 2: You got it. Calvin McCulloch coming right back. Friends, don't
- 20:48Speaker 2: go anywhere.
- 20:51Speaker 1: Stick around for more of Fat Kevin next time. Here
- 21:11Speaker 1: he is from New York. Kevin McCullough, Welcome back.
- 21:18Speaker 2: It's that Kevin Show, that kevinshow dot com. We have
- 21:20Speaker 2: been on a mission for the last couple of weeks
- 21:23Speaker 2: to help as many children as possible who are the
- 21:27Speaker 2: children of incarcerated parents, find Jesus at summer camp. That's
- 21:32Speaker 2: what we're trying to do. We're trying to put those
- 21:34Speaker 2: kids in a position where they can find Jesus this
- 21:36Speaker 2: summer at Angel Tree Camp. Tom Tradup is back to
- 21:39Speaker 2: speak with me here, and Tom, I haven't had the
- 21:42Speaker 2: pleasure of actually being at an Angel Tree Camp, but
- 21:45Speaker 2: you have, I think, on more than one occasion. And
- 21:47Speaker 2: you've expressed you've talked with some of the children, You've
- 21:51Speaker 2: had lunch with some of the kids, You've sat and
- 21:54Speaker 2: kind of gotten to know what their experience is like.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Take us inside what it's like to be at Angel
- 22:00Speaker 2: Tree Camp.
- 22:01Speaker 7: Well, let me just say thank you for having me
- 22:03Speaker 7: first off, and secondly, there is not to my knowledge
- 22:08Speaker 7: and Angel Tree Camp. What they do is they make
- 22:12Speaker 7: arrangements with a network of summer camps all over the country.
- 22:15Speaker 7: All fifty states have them, and so it's Camp Potawatamee
- 22:20Speaker 7: or something in Oklahoma until the second week of July,
- 22:25Speaker 7: and then it becomes Angel Tree Camp and for that
- 22:28Speaker 7: week everybody is on the Angel Tree staff. They take over.
- 22:32Speaker 7: You've got Christian songs they're singing, You've got activities that
- 22:35Speaker 7: are all fresh air, fun things for these kids who
- 22:39Speaker 7: are children of prisoners, maybe have never been out of
- 22:41Speaker 7: a hot city before. Some of them are freaked out
- 22:45Speaker 7: just by the idea that they're going out into nature.
- 22:47Speaker 4: Where are we.
- 22:49Speaker 7: And they start off the first day. These kids that
- 22:53Speaker 7: I met at Angel Tree camp, I went to one
- 22:55Speaker 7: in California with Larry Elder, our friend, and the kids
- 22:59Speaker 7: are kind of reclusive and keep to themselves the first day,
- 23:03Speaker 7: not only because they're new at camp and they don't
- 23:05Speaker 7: know anyone that happens at any summer camp, but also
- 23:09Speaker 7: they don't understand because I guess that nobody tells them.
- 23:12Speaker 7: All the kids at the camp this week will be
- 23:15Speaker 7: in the same situation you are. They have a mom
- 23:18Speaker 7: or a dad or maybe both, or in prison. And
- 23:21Speaker 7: so by supper time they have made friends and talked
- 23:26Speaker 7: to somebody else and they go, what's your dad in for?
- 23:29Speaker 7: And they go, what do you mean? And they suddenly
- 23:32Speaker 7: it clicks that all of us here at Angel three
- 23:34Speaker 7: camp this week have a parent who's incarcerated, and so
- 23:38Speaker 7: the barriers go down. They just start having fun like
- 23:42Speaker 7: every kid wants to have and it's such a blessing
- 23:45Speaker 7: for them. And you said you're on a mission. In fact,
- 23:50Speaker 7: you have that sort of Howie Mandel. Look, he's on
- 23:54Speaker 7: the million dollar mission on a deal or no deal.
- 23:58Speaker 7: You know, you've done so many good things to get
- 24:02Speaker 7: people to donate already for Angel Tree Camp. It only
- 24:05Speaker 7: costs two hundred dollars to send a kid to camp,
- 24:07Speaker 7: and it costs a lot more than that, believe me,
- 24:10Speaker 7: for the actual camp experience. But there's subsidies and gifts
- 24:13Speaker 7: and people who do in kind things, and so whatever
- 24:17Speaker 7: you can donate, you watching and listening. If it's fifty dollars,
- 24:21Speaker 7: if it's one hundred dollars. If you can send a
- 24:23Speaker 7: kid to camp for two hundred, that's great. But if
- 24:26Speaker 7: you can only afford a little bit less, so that's
- 24:29Speaker 7: what you feel led to give, please do because we'll
- 24:32Speaker 7: combo that up with the other gifts that are coming in.
- 24:35Speaker 7: And every time we hit another two hundred dollars, that
- 24:38Speaker 7: means another deserving boy or girl who through no fault
- 24:42Speaker 7: of their own, has been placed in this situation with
- 24:45Speaker 7: a mom or dad in prison. They didn't do anything wrong,
- 24:50Speaker 7: and so it's an opportunity to really bless a child.
- 24:53Speaker 7: And you know, we're headed a couple of weeks from
- 24:55Speaker 7: now to the two hundred and fiftieth Birthday of America,
- 24:59Speaker 7: And what better gift could you give to this United
- 25:02Speaker 7: States of America on our two hundred and fiftieth birthday
- 25:06Speaker 7: than to have more young, positive Christian kids heading into
- 25:12Speaker 7: the future instead of kids who may be going in
- 25:15Speaker 7: a different direction, following in their parents' footsteps and being
- 25:19Speaker 7: part of a legal system and maybe going to prison them.
- 25:21Speaker 2: So I think that's one of the most exciting things
- 25:24Speaker 2: because and look, those of you that listen to me
- 25:27Speaker 2: and watch you know that I'm an unapologetic evangelical Christian
- 25:31Speaker 2: excited about what Jesus did in my own life. I
- 25:34Speaker 2: want to tell other people about it all the time.
- 25:37Speaker 2: And even my former colleague Charlie Kirk, who you know,
- 25:41Speaker 2: he really was such an incredible person, changing the world
- 25:45Speaker 2: in so many ways. He said at the ultimately at
- 25:47Speaker 2: the end of his life, what he wanted to be
- 25:49Speaker 2: known for was courage about his faith. Friends, faith is
- 25:52Speaker 2: connected to this in such a deep level. First of all,
- 25:54Speaker 2: Prison Fellowship is the one that's organizing the entire thing,
- 25:57Speaker 2: and that is the ministry that Chuck Colson started when
- 26:01Speaker 2: he went to prison, saw the need for the Gospel
- 26:04Speaker 2: inside of prison, came out, dedicated his life to helping
- 26:08Speaker 2: prisoners find Jesus. They have a Bible study program that
- 26:11Speaker 2: they've been using for years that is so effective. A
- 26:14Speaker 2: lot of inmates find Jesus through it and when they
- 26:17Speaker 2: when they graduate from that program, there's some benefits. There's
- 26:20Speaker 2: some actual benefits that they're given. One is that their
- 26:23Speaker 2: their kid can be nominated to receive a president at
- 26:27Speaker 2: Christmas time from their from their their parents' name. Somebody
- 26:32Speaker 2: donates a toy, they give it to little Susie because
- 26:36Speaker 2: Dad is in is in the slammer, but they get
- 26:38Speaker 2: a little note from Dad. And there's some things that
- 26:41Speaker 2: just to say that you're not forgotten, that you're just
- 26:43Speaker 2: you know, you are important. They hear the gospel, they
- 26:46Speaker 2: learn life skills, they have in depth conversations with counselors
- 26:49Speaker 2: who are with them and kind of mentoring them throughout
- 26:51Speaker 2: the week, and as Tom you were inferring, when the
- 26:55Speaker 2: week is over, they may have been a little gun
- 26:58Speaker 2: shy getting in there, but when the week is over,
- 27:00Speaker 2: they're clinging to these counselors. They're like, we're to go home,
- 27:03Speaker 2: like it's been the most magical thing they've ever experienced.
- 27:06Speaker 7: There are tears when they have to get back on
- 27:08Speaker 7: the bus, and a lot of them come back the
- 27:11Speaker 7: following year and many of the kids stay in touch
- 27:15Speaker 7: over the course of the next year, supporting each other,
- 27:18Speaker 7: building each other up, and saying, let's get together at
- 27:20Speaker 7: the cabin next year.
- 27:21Speaker 4: So it is a life changing.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Experience, and you make it happen. For two hundred dollars,

- 28:19Speaker 2: All right, Monday, Monday underway and Kevin McCullough, glad to
- 28:22Speaker 2: have you with us. And even with all the good
- 28:24Speaker 2: news of the deal in Iran, well we got to
- 28:27Speaker 2: wait and see if they actually sign it. We'll see.
- 28:29Speaker 2: I mean, they say that they're going to do things
- 28:31Speaker 2: and then they don't do things. But oil is coming down.
- 28:34Speaker 2: The markets are kind of, you know, responding to that
- 28:37Speaker 2: in a certain way. President Trump's out at the G seven.
- 28:40Speaker 2: What all will come of that, Well, we'll watch and
- 28:42Speaker 2: we'll tell you. But we are continuing our series right
- 28:45Speaker 2: now with David Fisher of Landmark Capital, which is my
- 28:50Speaker 2: favorite gold and silver dealer in the globe. I bought
- 28:54Speaker 2: more with him than anybody else, and I've always loved
- 28:57Speaker 2: how he takes personal care of every customer that comes
- 29:01Speaker 2: his way. And David, we've been talking for the last
- 29:04Speaker 2: couple of weeks about a very important concept, which is
- 29:07Speaker 2: the idea of how you can roll over portions of
- 29:10Speaker 2: your four OL one K or your IRA, or maybe
- 29:12Speaker 2: the entire thing. Some people have done that into physical
- 29:16Speaker 2: gold and silver as an IRA itself. And today we're
- 29:21Speaker 2: talking about another step in this direction. What's the theme
- 29:24Speaker 2: of today's.
- 29:25Speaker 6: Discussion, So today's how physical gold and silver and your
- 29:29Speaker 6: IRA protects you from a bail in.
- 29:33Speaker 4: Let me explain what that is.
- 29:35Speaker 6: You know, we bailed out well General Motors and other entities.
- 29:41Speaker 2: And Lehman Brothers too big to fail.
- 29:44Speaker 6: Yeah, but we didn't have enough money to bail out
- 29:47Speaker 6: everybody around two hundred and four US banks went under,
- 29:51Speaker 6: and previous to that, a year before that, seven countries
- 29:55Speaker 6: went into their citizens' bank accounts and also their pensions and.
- 30:00Speaker 4: Took money legally.
- 30:02Speaker 6: And so in the look back of two thousand and eight,
- 30:06Speaker 6: under the Obama administration, they passed the law called the
- 30:09Speaker 6: dot Frank that says, when the next financial calamity comes,
- 30:13Speaker 6: the government has legal authority to go into your four
- 30:16Speaker 6: to one k r A and other paper assets, your checkings,
- 30:20Speaker 6: your savings. Fox News says, any paper asset is in
- 30:25Speaker 6: the bullseye of the government and they can take fifty
- 30:27Speaker 6: six to seventy one percent. So if you have physical
- 30:31Speaker 6: gold and silver, bail ins are done on paper. Physical
- 30:36Speaker 6: golden silver is exempt from that. So that's why it's
- 30:38Speaker 6: really important to.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Roll over a portion of that.
- 30:41Speaker 6: I don't know if that's going to be something that
- 30:42Speaker 6: the Trump administration is really concerned about, but you know,
- 30:47Speaker 6: I think President Trump's talking about gold and Fort Knox
- 30:50Speaker 6: and net ties into this also well.
- 30:52Speaker 2: And I just want to say, because of your long
- 30:55Speaker 2: time being with me, you helped me understand the bail
- 30:58Speaker 2: in in a really powerful way. But friends, I don't
- 31:01Speaker 2: want to rush past what David just said. This is,
- 31:04Speaker 2: this is legally what the government is already given in
- 31:10Speaker 2: its self legality to do, to reach into your electronic investments,
- 31:14Speaker 2: your paper investments and say okay, we need this, and
- 31:18Speaker 2: they just take it. And what do they replace it with, David,
- 31:21Speaker 2: just an iou.
- 31:22Speaker 6: They give you an iou, You get a treasury an
- 31:27Speaker 6: asset called a treasury bill that they pay you back
- 31:30Speaker 6: over time. It's in essence just kind of like a it's.
- 31:34Speaker 2: An IOU note. It's like when you used to borrow
- 31:37Speaker 2: some from your dad and say, oh dad, I'll put
- 31:39Speaker 2: you back. Here's here's the IOU. That's and that's about
- 31:42Speaker 2: what it's worth in the moment. If you're really in
- 31:44Speaker 2: need of your money and they've done that, it's not
- 31:47Speaker 2: there for you.
- 31:48Speaker 6: You're exactly right.
- 31:50Speaker 2: Well, having said that, physical gold and silver, obviously as
- 31:53Speaker 2: an IRA, is a different commodity because it's not electronic.
- 31:57Speaker 2: They can't just reach in and snatch it like that.
- 32:00Speaker 2: In fact, in your personal program and helping people roll
- 32:04Speaker 2: over iras to physical gold and silver, you actually help
- 32:07Speaker 2: them take possession of it so that they can store it,
- 32:11Speaker 2: they can hold it themselves and see for themselves that
- 32:13Speaker 2: it hasn't gone anywhere.
- 32:15Speaker 6: Yeah, there's loopholes in the law that some lawyers have
- 32:17Speaker 6: figured out how to do this, and lots of people
- 32:21Speaker 6: are following that pathway.
- 32:24Speaker 4: You know, think of it this way.
- 32:25Speaker 6: I ran some around one hundred billion dollars of their
- 32:28Speaker 6: assets were seas and previously, in twenty twenty two, the
- 32:32Speaker 6: United States froze three hundred billion dollars of Russian assets.
- 32:36Speaker 6: So the world is freaked out about that, and the
- 32:39Speaker 6: dollarization happened, and this is why we're seeing this big
- 32:42Speaker 6: push out of treasuries, Kevin, on a global level into
- 32:46Speaker 6: physical gold and the number since twenty twenty two. I
- 32:49Speaker 6: know you said this before, but I predicted on your
- 32:52Speaker 6: program about four or five years ago that gold would double,
- 32:56Speaker 6: and you know it's done more than that, and silver
- 32:59Speaker 6: did even more than gold. And as they're outperforming the
- 33:01Speaker 6: stock market. But now we have geopolitical tension still happening,
- 33:06Speaker 6: and there's this verification of gold in Fort Knox, so
- 33:10Speaker 6: President Trump wants to audit that. So if you have
- 33:14Speaker 6: physical gold and silver in a depository, be like just
- 33:18Speaker 6: the rest of the countries, get your physical gold and
- 33:22Speaker 6: silver in your possession. And there's legal ways loopholes that
- 33:26Speaker 6: you can do that because the country is going to
- 33:29Speaker 6: continue to print money, continue to go into debt, and
- 33:32Speaker 6: they have to do something. And it looks like President
- 33:34Speaker 6: Trump wants to back the currency by gold.
- 33:36Speaker 2: Well, I was about to say, you mentioned you mentioned
- 33:38Speaker 2: Fort Knox, and you've mentioned it twice. Now that's important
- 33:41Speaker 2: because of what you just said about backing the currency.
- 33:44Speaker 2: So that means if I buy gold before he does
- 33:46Speaker 2: the audit, the likelihood that gold increases in value is
- 33:50Speaker 2: rather significant.
- 33:51Speaker 6: Well, last time that they revalued gold and they would
- 33:54Speaker 6: have to do it again, gold went up seventy percent
- 33:57Speaker 6: kevin overnight. So this is not a get rich quick scheme.
- 34:00Speaker 6: This is position yourself because that is the direction that
- 34:03Speaker 6: looks like our administration is taking.
- 34:05Speaker 4: And he certainly likes to do things out of ordinary.
- 34:07Speaker 6: That would be out of the ordinary backing the currency
- 34:10Speaker 6: by gold, but it would fix a heck of a
- 34:13Speaker 6: lot of things financially, and I think that's the direction
- 34:16Speaker 6: he's going to do before the end of his term.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Okay, quickly tell us about the limited time offer that
- 34:21Speaker 2: you're offering in conjunction with this series of transferring the
- 34:25Speaker 2: four oh one k and IRA into physical gold and
- 34:28Speaker 2: silver iras.
- 34:30Speaker 6: So anybody who's sharing my voice is not a gimmick
- 34:32Speaker 6: or anything. You have ten thousand dollars or more, you're
- 34:35Speaker 6: going to get some free silver right up front with me.
- 34:39Speaker 6: I'm going to talk to you and tell you what
- 34:40Speaker 6: your discount is. It's in relationship to how much you're
- 34:42Speaker 6: moving over to get protected and growing in gold and silver.
- 34:46Speaker 6: So don't waste any time because the market is moving
- 34:48Speaker 6: up in gold and silver also, and this could be
- 34:50Speaker 6: one of your best investments.
- 34:52Speaker 2: So some free silver for you friend listening, if you
- 34:57Speaker 2: are moving a portion of your IRA over into gold
- 35:01Speaker 2: or silver, if you have ten thousand dollars or more
- 35:04Speaker 2: to invest, and that is what you can ask for
- 35:07Speaker 2: when you call David himself. Eight four four six oh
- 35:10Speaker 2: four two five seven five eight four four six oh
- 35:13Speaker 2: four two five seven five. That's eight four four six
- 35:16Speaker 2: oh four two five seven five, and don't be shy,
- 35:19Speaker 2: call right now. You can also see and learn a
- 35:22Speaker 2: lot more at his brand new website. It is so

- 35:44Speaker 2: for being with us.
- 35:45Speaker 4: Thank you, Kevin, you got it.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Calvin mccallaugh coming back on this Monday Monday, don't go anywhere.
- 35:51Speaker 8: Let's stick around for more of that, Kevin next.
- 35:55Speaker 9: Time, serving it up with a no drink minim. It's
- 36:09Speaker 9: that cabinet, the show.
- 36:12Speaker 2: And on this Monday Monday, it is good to have
- 36:14Speaker 2: you with us. And I just want to say again
- 36:17Speaker 2: thank you. We're talking about leaving a legacy for other
- 36:20Speaker 2: people when we talk with David Fisher and Lou Bassine
- 36:23Speaker 2: and Hillary Kramer and all these folks. We're talking about
- 36:27Speaker 2: leaving a legacy, a financial legacy for people that come behind,
- 36:31Speaker 2: because that's what we believe the biblical thing is to do.
- 36:35Speaker 2: And yet, let me just say that if we just
- 36:38Speaker 2: leave that legacy for just ourselves, we miss the point.
- 36:42Speaker 2: We miss the point of what God is really entrusting
- 36:46Speaker 2: us with when it comes to financial resources. And I
- 36:50Speaker 2: just want to say that over the weekend, we are
- 36:55Speaker 2: now closing in on close to ninety children that we
- 36:59Speaker 2: have been able to secure summer camp for these kids
- 37:02Speaker 2: who are the children of incarcerated parents, And in doing so,
- 37:08Speaker 2: that's ninety children that are gonna hear the gospel. That's
- 37:12Speaker 2: ninety children that are going to find Jesus and fresh
- 37:15Speaker 2: air and horseback riding and fishing and time with children
- 37:20Speaker 2: who are like them in multiple ways. Not only does
- 37:23Speaker 2: every child at an Angel Tree camp have a parent
- 37:27Speaker 2: who's been incarcerated, they also are all children whose parents,
- 37:31Speaker 2: while incarcerated, have completed the Bible Study program. And it's
- 37:36Speaker 2: many weeks in the making. They've completed the Bible Study
- 37:41Speaker 2: program in prison from prison fellowship. And the reason that
- 37:45Speaker 2: this child in particular gets to go to camp is
- 37:47Speaker 2: because their parent completed that Bible program and as a
- 37:52Speaker 2: reward for completing the program, they're allowed to nominate their
- 37:55Speaker 2: child to become a scholarship recipient for Angel Tree Camp.
- 38:01Speaker 2: The incarcerated parent can't afford to send the child to camp.
- 38:04Speaker 2: You do understand that right they they're in prison, this
- 38:08Speaker 2: child would have no way of going to a Christian
- 38:11Speaker 2: camp and hearing about Jesus and having their lives changed
- 38:15Speaker 2: if their parent, you know, would did not nominate them.
- 38:22Speaker 2: This is the only way that they're gonna that they're
- 38:23Speaker 2: gonna get to Christian camp this summer. And so the
- 38:28Speaker 2: camps have begun, but we still have, well we still have,
- 38:33Speaker 2: you know, about fifty or sixty spots left that we
- 38:37Speaker 2: can help make sure they get to camp by by
- 38:41Speaker 2: being faithful to give our gift. And if you've been
- 38:44Speaker 2: meaning to and you thought you ran out of time,
- 38:47Speaker 2: we've gotten extended it for a little bit longer. You
- 38:50Speaker 2: can go to my website that kevinshow dot com, that
- 38:52Speaker 2: kevinshow dot com, that kevinshow dot com. Click the banner
- 38:58Speaker 2: at the top of the page. Your gift, no matter
- 39:01Speaker 2: what size, cobbled together with other gifts, if it adds
- 39:04Speaker 2: up to two hundred dollars, is going to get that
- 39:06Speaker 2: child a week of Christian camp where they're not only
- 39:12Speaker 2: going to hear the gospel, they're going to be surrounded
- 39:15Speaker 2: by counselors and other children who have accepted the gospel,
- 39:19Speaker 2: who have received Jesus, and who are there because they
- 39:23Speaker 2: want to help this child receive Jesus. The camps are
- 39:26Speaker 2: invested because it costs more than two hundred dollars per
- 39:29Speaker 2: child to go. But the camps have put some skin
- 39:32Speaker 2: in the game. Angel Tree has provided the entire curriculum
- 39:36Speaker 2: and the instructions and the counselors and friends. We just
- 39:39Speaker 2: need your help to make sure that we get that
- 39:41Speaker 2: child there. If you were to try to do that
- 39:43Speaker 2: on your own, you could send a child to a
- 39:45Speaker 2: Christian camp, but it's going to cost you five hundred
- 39:47Speaker 2: to one thousand dollars for the one week, for just
- 39:49Speaker 2: the one week. So this is an amazing value. It's
- 39:55Speaker 2: an amazing investment in who God has created these children
- 39:59Speaker 2: to be. And at the end of the day, it
- 40:01Speaker 2: is going to be life changing if they accept Jesus
- 40:05Speaker 2: the way their parents have accepted Jesus. Most of the
- 40:08Speaker 2: parents that have finished the Bible study program in prison
- 40:10Speaker 2: have become believers in Jesus. They want their child to
- 40:13Speaker 2: become a believer in Jesus, but they don't want their
- 40:15Speaker 2: child to have to do it on the inside of
- 40:17Speaker 2: a prison cell. They want them to find Jesus in
- 40:20Speaker 2: a beautiful place, a wonderful place, a Christian camp with
- 40:24Speaker 2: people who love them and are caring and loving on
- 40:27Speaker 2: them while their parents do their time. Would you help
- 40:30Speaker 2: us that Kevinshow dot Com. I need forty more children
- 40:34Speaker 2: just this week to find Christian camp that can show
- 40:39Speaker 2: dot Com that Kevinshow dot Com, that Kevinshow dot Com.

- 42:02Speaker 2: A man who is not what he wants to be,
- 42:05Speaker 2: but is way grateful.
- 42:06Speaker 5: That is not who he used to be here.
- 42:15Speaker 2: All right, welcome in, Kevin mccallaugh. Glad to have you
- 42:18Speaker 2: with us. It is that Kevin Show, that kevinshow dot
- 42:21Speaker 2: com the beginning kicking off a brand new week, hoping
- 42:24Speaker 2: that you have everything that you need to get through
- 42:27Speaker 2: this week, and if you don't, if we can help
- 42:29Speaker 2: you figure it out, think it through a little bit
- 42:32Speaker 2: more clearly, maybe give you a little encouragement, maybe help
- 42:35Speaker 2: you understand world events a little bit better than I'm
- 42:38Speaker 2: all in favor of that. That's why we're here. That's
- 42:40Speaker 2: why nothing's behind a paywall at that kevinshow dot com.
- 42:43Speaker 2: We just want you to We just want you to
- 42:44Speaker 2: have everything you need to muscle up your mind and
- 42:47Speaker 2: build up your brain and think more clearly in the
- 42:49Speaker 2: world around you. I got to tell you. So, we're
- 42:55Speaker 2: pretty excited that the President has announced a deal with Iran.
- 42:58Speaker 2: It's kind of a and see kind of thing. We
- 43:01Speaker 2: got to see if the Iranians are on board and
- 43:03Speaker 2: if they're gonna really come through this time. They don't
- 43:05Speaker 2: have the best track record, But because the Pakistanis and
- 43:08Speaker 2: some of the other countries involved are being more vocal
- 43:11Speaker 2: about it. It seems like there's more hope for this one.
- 43:13Speaker 2: So that's what we're gonna, that's what we're gonna, we're gonna,
- 43:16Speaker 2: we're gonna cling to in terms of hope. But I
- 43:20Speaker 2: got to take you back to Friday night because as
- 43:24Speaker 2: the basket dropped to tie the game eighty three eighty three,
- 43:27Speaker 2: I woke up my bride, who had fallen asleep on
- 43:29Speaker 2: the couch. I mean, she had endured enough already. She
- 43:32Speaker 2: had emotional swings, blown coverages, missed calls by the referees,
- 43:37Speaker 2: the impossible shots by San Antonio, the big jerks, and
- 43:41Speaker 2: if you're in San Antonio, I apologize. I'm not talking
- 43:44Speaker 2: about all of San Antonio. I'm just talking about the Spurs,
- 43:46Speaker 2: the big jerks. They're really big jerks, the MVP jerk.
- 43:51Speaker 2: The first ninety five percent of this game had been
- 43:53Speaker 2: a stress test for even the most devoted Knicks fan,
- 43:56Speaker 2: And somewhere in the middle of the third quarter, I
- 43:58Speaker 2: think my wife just the exhaustion grew to be too much.
- 44:01Speaker 2: And she's not really a big NBA fan to begin with,
- 44:03Speaker 2: so this was all a little bit out of her,
- 44:06Speaker 2: you know, normal Baileywick. But she had gotten on the
- 44:10Speaker 2: nixt train. She was excited about it. And like they
- 44:14Speaker 2: have done in all four of their wins out of
- 44:17Speaker 2: the five games, they did not lead for a good
- 44:20Speaker 2: chunk of the game, and they put it together at
- 44:23Speaker 2: the end, and they took it across the finish line,
- 44:27Speaker 2: and just when it mattered the most, they made the adjustments.
- 44:31Speaker 2: And I got to tell you, I've said this before,
- 44:33Speaker 2: it's not from Look. You put this New York Knicks
- 44:36Speaker 2: team against like the the Michael Jordan Bulls, or the
- 44:40Speaker 2: Magic Johnson Lakers, or the Larry Bird Celtics. I don't know,
- 44:44Speaker 2: the Kobe and Shaq Lakers. I don't think that it
- 44:47Speaker 2: would beat any of them. But I think a lot
- 44:49Speaker 2: of people thought that maybe San Antonio was like those
- 44:51Speaker 2: other teams this year because they had the MVP Wemby,
- 44:55Speaker 2: they had the Defensive Player of the Year Wemby, the
- 44:58Speaker 2: guy who's probably gonna be Rookie of the Year Harper,
- 45:00Speaker 2: who's the son of Ron Harper about I forget the
- 45:03Speaker 2: kid's name. And they have all these you know, supposedly
- 45:07Speaker 2: spectacularly talented deep bench, you know team, and what does
- 45:13Speaker 2: New York have a bunch of no names that just
- 45:16Speaker 2: kind of scrap and work and get it done. Brunson
- 45:21Speaker 2: was let go by the team that had him before,
- 45:23Speaker 2: the Knicks, and he came to New York as a
- 45:24Speaker 2: free agent, and after he had earned his keep, he
- 45:30Speaker 2: was he was entitled to like one hundred million more
- 45:32Speaker 2: dollars in his contract and he said, no, let's let's
- 45:34Speaker 2: let's leave that for other people. And what you saw
- 45:38Speaker 2: in the court on Friday night was kind of in
- 45:43Speaker 2: the game what they've represented off the court, which is
- 45:46Speaker 2: the scrappy lunch pail, go to work, get the job
- 45:49Speaker 2: done kind of mentality. So you have people like Mitchell
- 45:52Speaker 2: Robinson who could not hit a free throw to save
- 45:54Speaker 2: his life. He was terrible. He's worse than Shack. But
- 45:58Speaker 2: you know what he did. He got several huge rebounds
- 46:02Speaker 2: down the stretch and Jalen Brunson was made for this moment.
- 46:05Speaker 2: Friends the way at the end of the game, he
- 46:08Speaker 2: would penetrate between two defenders, they would drop down to
- 46:12Speaker 2: pick him up, he would hit an open shooter, or
- 46:15Speaker 2: if they didn't drop down, he would take it all
- 46:17Speaker 2: the way to the rim. And when he was on
- 46:21Speaker 2: the outside and he'd get it dealt to him. He'd
- 46:23Speaker 2: shoot and get fouled as a three point shot, and
- 46:25Speaker 2: he made multiple sets of free throws as three point
- 46:29Speaker 2: free throw shooters on Friday. And then came the final
- 46:33Speaker 2: twenty six seconds. The Knicks had built the lead to
- 46:37Speaker 2: four and they never surrendered it again. And when the
- 46:42Speaker 2: buzzer sounded and the trophy was handed over, what struck
- 46:44Speaker 2: me was not arrogance but gratitude. No chest thumping dynasty
- 46:49Speaker 2: type of behavior, no manufactured villain energy, no self obsessed theatrics.
- 46:54Speaker 2: These were imperfect players overcoming deeper talent on the road
- 46:57Speaker 2: against overwhelming odds, acknowledging one another, acknowledging God, and understanding
- 47:01Speaker 2: fully what it took to arrive there. It was beautiful
- 47:04Speaker 2: to watch, and honestly, the whole thing felt and don't
- 47:09Speaker 2: hate me for this strangely American and that's fitting because
- 47:15Speaker 2: the nation is approaching her two hundred and fiftieth birthday,
- 47:19Speaker 2: and that's where this other parallel emerges. Jalen Brunson one
- 47:23Speaker 2: hundred million on the table to create financial flexibility for
- 47:27Speaker 2: his team. In an era where athletes often maximize every
- 47:30Speaker 2: possible dollar, Brunson voluntarily sacrifice personal wealth for the health
- 47:34Speaker 2: of the team around him. That is not normal in
- 47:37Speaker 2: modern America, but neither was George Washington surrendering power after
- 47:41Speaker 2: the revolution. History tends to produce victorious men who cling
- 47:44Speaker 2: to authority once they possess it. Washington did the opposite.
- 47:49Speaker 2: After leading the colonies to victory, he stepped away and
- 47:52Speaker 2: allowed his fellow citizens' room to build something larger than himself.
- 47:57Speaker 2: King George the Third reportedly remarked that if Washington voluntarily
- 48:00Speaker 2: surrendered the military power, he would be the greatest man
- 48:03Speaker 2: in the world, and then he watched him do it
- 48:06Speaker 2: Selflessness always shocks people accustomed to ambition. The Knicks displayed
- 48:11Speaker 2: that same spirit throughout this run. Nobody cared who got
- 48:14Speaker 2: twenty five a night as long as somebody did. Nobody
- 48:18Speaker 2: demanded the constant spotlight. Bench players became essential. Role players
- 48:22Speaker 2: became trusted. Sacrifice became contagious. That's how functioning republics and really,
- 48:28Speaker 2: really really successful teams do it, not merely through talent,
- 48:33Speaker 2: through shared burden. And then there was faith. Several Knicks
- 48:37Speaker 2: players openly acknowledged God after their victory, not performatively, not awkwardly,
- 48:42Speaker 2: not weird, naturally gratefully. That too felt deeply American. The
- 48:50Speaker 2: men who stood beside Washington, through Valley Forge and beyond
- 48:53Speaker 2: spoke similarly. They believed providence mattered, They prayed, they feared God.
- 48:57Speaker 2: They understood liberty not merely as a political independence, but
- 49:00Speaker 2: as a moral responsibility under divine authority. Now progressives today
- 49:06Speaker 2: sneer at this part of the founding because dependence upon
- 49:09Speaker 2: God irritates people addicted to dependence upon themselves. But humility
- 49:14Speaker 2: has always been one of America's secret strengths, and this
- 49:17Speaker 2: NIXT team displayed it beautifully. They didn't have a perfect roster,
- 49:21Speaker 2: They had no invincible superstar, no guaranteed outcome, just grit, trust, sacrifice, discipline, faith, adjustment,
- 49:30Speaker 2: and perseverance. And that too, sounds suspiciously like America herself.
- 49:36Speaker 2: And maybe that's why this championship landed emotionally different for
- 49:39Speaker 2: so many people. Because beneath all the noise of modern life,
- 49:42Speaker 2: between the outrage algorithms and the narcissism, the division, the
- 49:46Speaker 2: constant self promotion, Americans are starving to see something noble again,
- 49:51Speaker 2: something earned and collective, something that reminds us greatness is
- 49:55Speaker 2: still possible when imperfect people commit themselves to a purpose
- 49:58Speaker 2: bigger than ego. That's seventeen seventy six in a nutshell,
- 50:03Speaker 2: and oddly enough, it became the story of these NBA
- 50:06Speaker 2: finals as well. The nations and teams alike are strongest
- 50:11Speaker 2: not when individuals demands maximum glory for themselves, but when
- 50:16Speaker 2: ordinary people willingly surrender comfort, recognition, and ego for something
- 50:20Speaker 2: greater than their own name on the back of the jersey.
- 50:22Speaker 2: And watching the Knicks celebrate that way, humble and grateful
- 50:25Speaker 2: and selfless, felt beautiful and complimentary to America's founding all
- 50:30Speaker 2: in one swish, and honestly, at a moment when humility
- 50:33Speaker 2: and sacrifice and gratitude feel increasingly rare in our culture,
- 50:36Speaker 2: it felt like something far more important than basketball. One
- 50:40Speaker 2: on Friday Night, Kevin mccullory, and here he is in
- 51:00Speaker 2: New York, that Kevin.
- 51:03Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough.
- 51:05Speaker 2: All right, welcome in. It's the second hour of the broadcast.
- 51:08Speaker 2: And Kevin McCullough, very glad have you with us. Everything
- 51:11Speaker 2: is at that kevinshow dot com never behind a paywall.
- 51:14Speaker 2: We always want you to have access to it. And
- 51:17Speaker 2: I got to say thank you again for making you
- 51:19Speaker 2: did it in April, but in May you gave us
- 51:22Speaker 2: the biggest amount of traffic to that kevinshow dot com
- 51:25Speaker 2: we've ever had, and it would it tripled what you
- 51:28Speaker 2: gave us in April. So thank you for those of
- 51:30Speaker 2: you that are using the site and making your way
- 51:33Speaker 2: through it every day and helping others find the stuff
- 51:35Speaker 2: that's there. We always want it to be a useful
- 51:38Speaker 2: tool to help you think more clearly. Lou Basinise is
- 51:41Speaker 2: one of the reasons why we want you to go there,
- 51:43Speaker 2: because he has such good things to say, and he's
- 51:45Speaker 2: with us so little that you may need to re
- 51:47Speaker 2: listen to catch all of the stuff that he says.
- 51:50Speaker 2: But Lou Basinese, of course a Fox Business contributor and
- 51:54Speaker 2: the proprietor of something called the Big Skinny dot Com,
- 51:57Speaker 2: The Big Skinny dot Com all three words, the Big
- 51:59Speaker 2: skin We'll get into more of that in just a second.
- 52:03Speaker 2: But Lou, there's you wake up this morning and you
- 52:06Speaker 2: got a supposed deal in the works for Iran oil.
- 52:09Speaker 2: Prices are down because of that, which is a good
- 52:12Speaker 2: good sign. Hopefully that's going to stick. You've got I
- 52:16Speaker 2: don't know you you're in New York. You got a
- 52:18Speaker 2: Knicks win over the weekend. Uh, there's there's all kind
- 52:21Speaker 2: of stuff going on. What how did you? How did you?
- 52:23Speaker 2: How did you even face life? This Monday morning?
- 52:26Speaker 10: It was really hard to keep stop smiling from here
- 52:29Speaker 10: to ear.
- 52:30Speaker 4: I actually was on Varney and Company this morning.
- 52:32Speaker 10: We were remarking, Man, if every Monday could beat this upbeat,
- 52:35Speaker 10: I mean nailed it right.
- 52:36Speaker 4: The sports world, there was fun to be happy about
- 52:39Speaker 4: between the World Cup.
- 52:40Speaker 10: And the New York makes no matter what, you know
- 52:42Speaker 10: where your allegiances lie. And then, thankfully, for once, it
- 52:45Speaker 10: seems like we've gone into so many weekends and the
- 52:48Speaker 10: President was promising we're close to a deal, We're close
- 52:50Speaker 10: to a deal, that it wasn't Groundhog Day all over
- 52:53Speaker 10: again this time that it seems to be truthfully coming
- 52:56Speaker 10: to fruition.
- 52:57Speaker 4: You mentioned it in the lead here. Oil is dropping.
- 53:00Speaker 10: They haven't droppo eighty, which I think is instructive because
- 53:03Speaker 10: I think we're going to have a new normal for
- 53:04Speaker 10: a while in the seventies. But for everyone at home,
- 53:07Speaker 10: gas prices are going to start coming down even more
- 53:10Speaker 10: than they have.
- 53:10Speaker 4: We're going to get back into the threes comfortably. This
- 53:13Speaker 4: is all good news.
- 53:14Speaker 10: As we kicked off this week, you know, even SpaceX
- 53:17Speaker 10: last week.
- 53:17Speaker 2: You know historic mind, I didn't get a chance to
- 53:19Speaker 2: ask you about that. Did you Did you jump on
- 53:21Speaker 2: the frenetic crazy on Friday?
- 53:23Speaker 4: I did not.
- 53:24Speaker 10: I'm one of the few that is waiting for a
- 53:27Speaker 10: better entry point because just playing the odds, if you
- 53:31Speaker 10: look at every IPO that's come to market, even.
- 53:33Speaker 4: The big ones, the Metas of the world, the Amazons.
- 53:36Speaker 10: The alphabets, you had a chance to buy on sale
- 53:40Speaker 10: at a later date in the first year. So on average,
- 53:43Speaker 10: the biggest IPOs pull back forty or fifty percent off
- 53:46Speaker 10: from the first twelve months they're in market. So if
- 53:48Speaker 10: I told you, hey, do you like this shiny new product,
- 53:51Speaker 10: do you want to pay full price or fifty percent off?
- 53:53Speaker 4: I'm waiting for the deal. So I think you'll get a.
- 53:56Speaker 10: Chance sometime in the next three to six months to
- 53:59Speaker 10: buy into it. If you're a long term investor, I
- 54:01Speaker 10: think the long term for SpaceX is really big. It
- 54:04Speaker 10: can go from a two trillion dollar market cap to
- 54:06Speaker 10: a twenty trillion dollar market cap. So you know, if
- 54:08Speaker 10: you're thinking about it, if you really don't want to
- 54:10Speaker 10: miss out, I think you put a little cash to
- 54:12Speaker 10: work now and then you have some more ready on
- 54:14Speaker 10: the pullback, which I think will inevitably comm Well.
- 54:17Speaker 2: My sixteen gambler, my sixteen year old was was you know,
- 54:22Speaker 2: aware of it? And he and I had spoken and
- 54:24Speaker 2: he was like, Dad, going to you're going to get
- 54:27Speaker 2: any I said, I said, well, I didn't tell him
- 54:30Speaker 2: one way or the other. But I did end up
- 54:32Speaker 2: buying a share for each of my three kids. I'm
- 54:35Speaker 2: just going to hold onto them for forever. But at
- 54:38Speaker 2: some point in the next So let's walk the dumb
- 54:41Speaker 2: guy in the conversation through all of that. And I'm
- 54:44Speaker 2: referring to myself.
- 54:47Speaker 4: I wasn't sure you can talk about.
- 54:49Speaker 2: What does so what does the cycle look like? Are
- 54:51Speaker 2: there institutions that will do you think, get out and
- 54:55Speaker 2: thus cause that that price to go down.
- 54:58Speaker 10: Yeah, Look, I think it's a great question because not
- 55:00Speaker 10: many people ever invest in IPO.
- 55:02Speaker 4: You don't usually typically have access.
- 55:04Speaker 10: So an IPO is usually the time where the early
- 55:06Speaker 10: investors when it was a private company are going to
- 55:09Speaker 10: cash out. So your venture capitalists that got in really
- 55:12Speaker 10: early on, it's an opportunity for them to get liquidity
- 55:15Speaker 10: and sell.
- 55:16Speaker 4: And then it's also the time for insiders. I mean
- 55:18Speaker 4: we're hearing.
- 55:19Speaker 10: What I love about the SpaceX story is that over
- 55:21Speaker 10: forty four hundred millionaires were minted that were employees of SpaceX,
- 55:25Speaker 10: people that were janitors and cafeteria workers and welders, which
- 55:29Speaker 10: I think is great.
- 55:30Speaker 4: But they had old at some point need to sell
- 55:32Speaker 4: some of those shares. So what typically.
- 55:34Speaker 10: Happens in an IPO is it comes public and there's
- 55:36Speaker 10: this period that's six months long where no one of
- 55:39Speaker 10: the insiders are allowed to sell that have owned for shares,
- 55:42Speaker 10: and then what you typically see at that six month mark,
- 55:45Speaker 10: as soon as they're allowed to sell, you get a
- 55:47Speaker 10: lot more selling coming into the market than buying, and
- 55:49Speaker 10: the price goes down.
- 55:50Speaker 4: SpaceX is a little different.
- 55:52Speaker 10: They're allowing people to start selling sooner, but not as
- 55:55Speaker 10: much so. But in general you're seeing the same thing
- 55:58Speaker 10: that over the first six months to months, you get
- 56:00Speaker 10: some selling pressure that brings prices down, but as the
- 56:03Speaker 10: business starts to take care of itself, more buyers come in.
- 56:07Speaker 4: New buyers push prices up.
- 56:09Speaker 2: Now you said they're allowing people to sell sooner, how
- 56:11Speaker 2: soon would the insiders be selling with SpaceX?
- 56:14Speaker 10: So some of the insiders, I believe get are able
- 56:17Speaker 10: to start selling after the first quarterly report as a
- 56:20Speaker 10: public company. And then there's also a level where if
- 56:23Speaker 10: it's thirty percent above the IPO price, so quick math
- 56:27Speaker 10: twenty six forty.
- 56:28Speaker 4: Bucks above the IPO price.
- 56:30Speaker 10: So if it's above one hundred and call it seventy
- 56:32Speaker 10: five dollars a share, they'll be able to sell a
- 56:34Speaker 10: little bit more on that first call.
- 56:37Speaker 4: So again, it's not something.
- 56:38Speaker 2: So today when they hit one seventy nine some of.
- 56:41Speaker 10: Those people because it cannot yet. I don't think candos
- 56:45Speaker 10: opened up for the employees. Anyone that bought in the
- 56:48Speaker 10: IPO is able to sell that bought shared at one.
- 56:51Speaker 4: Hundred and thirty five.
- 56:52Speaker 10: But in my mind, if you bought at one thirty five,
- 56:54Speaker 10: I don't know why you'd be selling at one seventy plus.
- 56:57Speaker 4: Like there's a lot more upside here.
- 56:58Speaker 10: I'm looking again, I've been in the markets for you know,
- 57:01Speaker 10: almost three decades now, which is crazy to say.
- 57:03Speaker 4: I'm being a little bit more.
- 57:05Speaker 10: Cautious and saying I'm going to try and see if
- 57:08Speaker 10: I can buy at one hundred and thirty five get
- 57:11Speaker 10: in at the IPO price on a pullback.
- 57:13Speaker 4: Does that really mean matter? At the end of the
- 57:15Speaker 4: It's like for your kids, if you.
- 57:16Speaker 10: Bought for them at one hundred and fifty and the
- 57:19Speaker 10: thing goes to a thousand, does it matter if you
- 57:21Speaker 10: bought it at one hundred and thirty five?
- 57:22Speaker 2: Not really, right, No, not really so, and certainly not
- 57:25Speaker 2: for them because it's they're getting it for free.
- 57:28Speaker 4: Right.
- 57:28Speaker 2: But let me let me ask this the So I
- 57:32Speaker 2: was with a bunch of investing tech types on Friday,
- 57:35Speaker 2: kind of on special assignment. One of the things that
- 57:38Speaker 2: kept coming up was, well, I don't know what does
- 57:39Speaker 2: space really give you? Like, so, like the people that
- 57:42Speaker 2: are really into like the granular, Like, I like a
- 57:46Speaker 2: company that makes widgets, and I can tell how many
- 57:48Speaker 2: widgets they're going to make, and that's that's what they're
- 57:50Speaker 2: going to, you know, produce their profits off of, because
- 57:53Speaker 2: the demand for the widget is this. That group seemed
- 57:56Speaker 2: to be a little bit suspicious of SpaceX, And I'm curious,
- 58:00Speaker 2: is your thought on that, Given the fact that NASA
- 58:03Speaker 2: basically gave us every major modern invention we've experienced over
- 58:08Speaker 2: the laste hundred years basically came out of the Space program,
- 58:11Speaker 2: doesn't SpaceX have a similar upside potential?
- 58:15Speaker 1: It does?
- 58:16Speaker 4: I wish I was in those conversations.
- 58:17Speaker 10: I know it's supposed to be part of them, but
- 58:19Speaker 10: I would be on the complete opposite side. I mean,
- 58:21Speaker 10: think about if you look at SpaceX's business right now,
- 58:25Speaker 10: it's not really about rockets, it's about the Starlink satellite Internet.
- 58:29Speaker 10: They're actually I think it's eleven billion of their twenty
- 58:31Speaker 10: billion or eighteen billion in regist.
- 58:33Speaker 2: Thank goodness, United Airlines is adopting we can finally get
- 58:36Speaker 2: good Internet on an airplane.
- 58:38Speaker 10: Exactly so, But you got to think this is a
- 58:40Speaker 10: paradigm change, just like the Internet was. Right, Like no
- 58:44Speaker 10: one conceived of the businesses that were going to come
- 58:46Speaker 10: about because of the Internet. So it's not just like
- 58:48Speaker 10: you created a way to transform information and make it
- 58:51Speaker 10: flow faster. You created a whole new platform. I think
- 58:55Speaker 10: space is going to be the same way. So you're
- 58:56Speaker 10: providing Internet in space. Elon Musk is already starting the
- 58:59Speaker 10: talk about data centers in space. I would tell you
- 59:03Speaker 10: you're talking about a whole space logistics and supply chain
- 59:06Speaker 10: opportunity that's opening up, and things that we can't conceive
- 59:09Speaker 10: of yet, like what if we started manufacturing semiconductors in space,
- 59:14Speaker 10: Because you can deal with cooler temperatures, you don't have
- 59:18Speaker 10: to deal with some of the pollution.
- 59:19Speaker 4: There's just so many different factors.
- 59:22Speaker 10: That being able to easily get products, services, and equipment
- 59:27Speaker 10: into space opens up a whole new economy.
- 59:29Speaker 2: That did I hear you say the word data centers
- 59:32Speaker 2: in space?
- 59:33Speaker 10: Did?
- 59:34Speaker 2: And there's the amount of the amount of electricity, amount
- 59:37Speaker 2: of energy rather not electricity, but the amount of energy
- 59:39Speaker 2: necessary to produce one of those is insane.
- 59:44Speaker 4: Right.
- 59:44Speaker 2: Yet you're not far off because on Friday again, everybody
- 59:48Speaker 2: I was around was like, you know, someday data centers
- 59:50Speaker 2: are going to be in space, and I was like,
- 59:51Speaker 2: how are they going to do that?
- 59:53Speaker 4: Yes? Look, I mean you have unlimited solar power.
- 59:55Speaker 10: Right, There's there's some physics challenges with data centers in space,
- 59:59Speaker 10: and that being you know, the big people that don't
- 1:00:02Speaker 10: understand physics will say like, well, you put data centers
- 1:00:04Speaker 10: in space, and you don't have to worry about cooling
- 1:00:05Speaker 10: because space is cold and it's a vacuum. No, you're right,
- 1:00:08Speaker 10: but you do have to worry about heat dissipation because
- 1:00:11Speaker 10: the problem is in space heat it dissipates in three ways, convection, conduction,
- 1:00:16Speaker 10: or radiation.
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: The first two are.
- 1:00:18Speaker 10: Not possible in space, so you have to radiate heat
- 1:00:21Speaker 10: away from any data center. So there's some physical obstacles
- 1:00:24Speaker 10: that come up with over but it gets rid of
- 1:00:26Speaker 10: the data center. In my backyard argument, let's put the
- 1:00:29Speaker 10: data centers in space, and it makes things a lot easier.
- 1:00:32Speaker 10: I think we're probably a decade away from that being
- 1:00:34Speaker 10: a true reality.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: Nonetheless, though that means it'll happen next week.
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: Yeah, but it means it means we have to start
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: building it today, you know.
- 1:00:44Speaker 10: So basically, so SpaceX is laying the foundation for data
- 1:00:48Speaker 10: centers in space.
- 1:00:48Speaker 4: The craziest thing this is for me, I'll see.
- 1:00:51Speaker 10: Tons of IPOs, tons of new innovations, tons of executive compactages.
- 1:00:56Speaker 10: The craziest thing in the in the IPO filing for
- 1:00:59Speaker 10: SpaceX is Elon musk Gets. I think up to a
- 1:01:02Speaker 10: billion additional shares the moment there's a million inhabitants on Mars.
- 1:01:08Speaker 10: I mean, think about putting that into your next deal
- 1:01:10Speaker 10: that you negotiate with Salem for radio, that you gotta
- 1:01:13Speaker 10: put a million people on Mars or some other crazy
- 1:01:16Speaker 10: thing like we're gonna get one billion listeners, which no
- 1:01:19Speaker 10: one has ever done. That's I think that's an indication
- 1:01:23Speaker 10: of how big Elon Musk's all.
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: Right, hold that thought, Lou Bascinese, because I'm keeping you
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: for bonus innings today. We're going extra innings with the
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: Big Skinny himself, the Big Skinny dot Com to find
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: out all the things related to Lou Basinese. Coming right back,
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: it's that Kevin chick.
- 1:01:39Speaker 11: Stick around for more of that Kevin next here he
- 1:01:59Speaker 11: is from New York, That Kevin. Kevin McCullough.
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: Welcome back. It's Money Monday on that Kevin Show, and
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: we have so much to talk about. Lou Basinie's back
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: with us. And you hear me saying around his name
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: a lot. Thebig Skinny dot Com, The Big Skinny dot Com.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: This is his hangout, if you will, on the on
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: the Internet. I think it's actually stored on a data
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: center in space. But that aside, what he's getting is
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: not from outer space. What he's giving you every day
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: is a very simple concept. And Lou, you're going to
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: be part of our huge America two fifty celebrate on
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: June twenty third, that we're going to broadcast live from
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: Times Square to the nation. It's going to be so
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: much fun. But you're offering something as part of your
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: partnership with us on that that I think is very
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: interesting because and again this is more on my mind
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: these days, not because I'm a smart finance guid It's
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: because I'm kind of the dumb guy. But I keep
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: finding myselves in these rooms with all these investor and
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: tech types. And if there's one thing that the whole
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: day I spent learning about quantum computing that they're looking
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: at in terms of investing the space is as they're saying, hey,
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: you know how big AI it was, and is that's
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: what quantum computing is going to be. And I'm going
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: to talk more about that in the days to come.
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: But AI AI AI, I can't get away from AI.
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: It's in every single app on my phone. It's on
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: every single website that I visit, you know, on the web,
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: and it has become the most formidable force in learning,
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: in production in so many different areas of American life,
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: to the degree that most people don't even realize how
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: much AI has begun to impact them. It's going to
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: start settling wars, because it's going to stop wars before
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: they can be you know, really even launched. And there's
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: going to be all kinds of things that we're going
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: to have to really understand, from national security and other
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: things that AI going to help us understand faster and quicker.
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: You have produced a report that I think has been
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: been dying to be produced. But talk to us about
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: the concept behind it, because in video, I think nearly
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: everybody's heard about in video, but a lot of people
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: missed out on it. What what was in video? Why
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: was it so important? And what did they miss out
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: on if they did miss out on it.
- 1:04:21Speaker 10: Yes, for the dumb guy, I think you summed up
- 1:04:23Speaker 10: the whole situation pretty well, just in fairness. So look,
- 1:04:26Speaker 10: in video makes chips right general processing unit chips that
- 1:04:29Speaker 10: would do all things like video games. They got into
- 1:04:32Speaker 10: bitcoin mining, and then all of a sudden AI became
- 1:04:34Speaker 10: a thing, and in video's chips really good at doing
- 1:04:38Speaker 10: the computations that are required for AI. So they've become,
- 1:04:41Speaker 10: in a manner of I think four or five years,
- 1:04:44Speaker 10: the leading chip seller to the tune of literally ten
- 1:04:48Speaker 10: hundreds of billions of dollars each year of chips that
- 1:04:52Speaker 10: power AI.
- 1:04:53Speaker 4: So they own ninety some percent of the market share.
- 1:04:56Speaker 10: AMD is the other chip company that gets about ten
- 1:04:59Speaker 10: to twel.
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: Two percent of the market share.
- 1:05:01Speaker 10: So anything that involves AI needs chips to do the
- 1:05:04Speaker 10: processing and the computations that goes through in Vidia.
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: That stock has been on an unbelievable tear. Admittedly I
- 1:05:10Speaker 4: was late to it.
- 1:05:11Speaker 10: So we created this report, my top ten AI stocks
- 1:05:14Speaker 10: that are not named in.
- 1:05:15Speaker 4: Vidia for people like me that are like man.
- 1:05:19Speaker 10: We missed the beginning of the trend in the early
- 1:05:22Speaker 10: thousand percent run up in Nvidia. But the beauty of
- 1:05:25Speaker 10: these long term tech trends, so the smartphone boom was
- 1:05:28Speaker 10: one of them. It started in two thousand and seven
- 1:05:30Speaker 10: and continued for the next decade. AI is going to
- 1:05:33Speaker 10: be the same way, and there's going to be a
- 1:05:34Speaker 10: lot of other beneficiary stocks that go up almost as much,
- 1:05:38Speaker 10: if not more than in Vidia. So I set out
- 1:05:40Speaker 10: and did put my analyst cap on and said, let
- 1:05:42Speaker 10: me start thinking about the other companies that are going
- 1:05:45Speaker 10: to be beneficiary. So this report is chocked full of
- 1:05:47Speaker 10: names that many people haven't ever heard of. These are
- 1:05:50Speaker 10: semiconductor companies that actually test every chip before it goes.
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: Are we talking about in this case what a term?
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: Another term I had not heard used before Friday. The
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: picks and shovel industries around in video.
- 1:06:04Speaker 10: Very much so, the picks and shovels, these are the
- 1:06:06Speaker 10: other types of companies that will enable Nvidia to do
- 1:06:09Speaker 10: what it's doing. So you got to think about this
- 1:06:12Speaker 10: that then Vidia is selling chips for AI data centers,
- 1:06:15Speaker 10: and you have to build the data center.
- 1:06:17Speaker 4: You've got to heat and cool and put plumbing and
- 1:06:20Speaker 4: wiring in that.
- 1:06:21Speaker 10: So there are some construction related companies that do just
- 1:06:24Speaker 10: that for the data centers. There's some data center companies
- 1:06:27Speaker 10: that actually were bitcoin miners that now realize it's more
- 1:06:31Speaker 10: profitable if we take our data centers that we have
- 1:06:33Speaker 10: and the guaranteed power that we have and transition to
- 1:06:36Speaker 10: AI data centers. And there's companies like that in that report.
- 1:06:40Speaker 10: Because here's a key thing. It only takes about twelve
- 1:06:42Speaker 10: to eighteen months to build the data center, but it
- 1:06:45Speaker 10: takes five to seven years to bring new power online.
- 1:06:48Speaker 10: And you mentioned it earlier that power. You know, the
- 1:06:51Speaker 10: beauty of putting data centers in spaces you don't have
- 1:06:53Speaker 10: to worry about the power drain.
- 1:06:54Speaker 4: You have twenty four to seven solar power.
- 1:06:57Speaker 10: But on the terrestrial world for data centers, you've got
- 1:07:00Speaker 10: to worry about, Hey, we can build this data center,
- 1:07:03Speaker 10: but can we get the power supplies to it? Beyond
- 1:07:05Speaker 10: the picks and shovels. I'm going to the next generation.
- 1:07:07Speaker 10: What is AI going to allow us to do? So
- 1:07:10Speaker 10: there are some names in drug discovery that are in
- 1:07:12Speaker 10: there because, as you can imagine, if if we don't
- 1:07:15Speaker 10: have to test drugs on patients or animals, or we
- 1:07:18Speaker 10: can short circuit that and say, let's computer model it
- 1:07:21Speaker 10: and take you make things faster, more effective. There's companies
- 1:07:25Speaker 10: there that are doing that. There's one off share one today.
- 1:07:27Speaker 10: It's tempas AI. They've had a decade long business doing
- 1:07:30Speaker 10: genetic testing, so they have this whole database of patient
- 1:07:34Speaker 10: data that they now are using for AI to help
- 1:07:37Speaker 10: to sell to drug companies to help them develop better drugs,
- 1:07:40Speaker 10: but then also to integrate into a dashboard for clinicians.
- 1:07:43Speaker 10: So you go to visit your doctor and you've taken
- 1:07:45Speaker 10: a genetic test and it'll put right off.
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: His her fingertips.
- 1:07:49Speaker 10: Hey, this patient would be very qualified for this clinical
- 1:07:52Speaker 10: trial that most people don't know about. But they're able
- 1:07:54Speaker 10: to make connections because they have the data and AI.
- 1:07:57Speaker 10: So there's a lot of solutions that they are going
- 1:08:00Speaker 10: to come from AI that we're also looking at.
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: A No, that's that's huge. Well, the reason I asked
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: you to explain all that is because friends at the
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: Big Skinny dot Com right now, he has a free
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: copy of this report. If you missed n video and
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: you you like, I can't you know, pay the hundreds
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: of dollars per share that it's it's at right now,
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: and you but you want to get into the AI
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: game and make some profits with your investments. He's got
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: ten stocks that he likes that are in this report
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: and they are explained very well. And I just I
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: want you to go to the Big Skinny dot com
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: and get some get some download on some knowledge and
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: not be the dumb guy. Let me be the dumb guy.
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: You don't be the dumb guy. Lou Bassinice always appreciates
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: you and looking forward to being together on the twenty third.
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I'm looking forward to it too.
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: Right, Kevin mckella, come right back from New York. Stay here.
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: Here he is New York. Ken Kevin McCullough.
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: All right, excited to have you with us. It's Money Monday,
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: and we continue our discussion about all things related to
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: how to protect your legacy for those that come behind you.
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: Hillary Kramer's back with us. I got to spend a
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: pretty fun weekend with her and several other investor minded
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: tech guru types. That Hillary, I was the dumbest man
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: in the room, but I sure learn a lot when
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: I'm around you guys because us well that's because I
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: want to learn. But you know so anyway, having said that,
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: the scuttle butt all day when we were together was
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: SpaceX SpaceX SpaceX, And I did buy three shares, one
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: for each of my kids. I'm going to hold on
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: to them forever until they get old enough to have them.
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: But what were your thoughts about how the IPO went?
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: And you know where it goes from here.
- 1:09:54Speaker 12: All the IPO went well because, of course there's supply
- 1:09:58Speaker 12: and demand, and although there's tremendous demand among individual investors,
- 1:10:03Speaker 12: institutional investors, and the ETFs, these indices have to hold
- 1:10:09Speaker 12: this one point eight trillion dollar company, so lots of
- 1:10:13Speaker 12: demand for the stock.
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: But of course I was.
- 1:10:15Speaker 12: Concerned that there'd be a lot of sellers, people who've
- 1:10:18Speaker 12: been you know, haven't been paid. You know, they've been paid,
- 1:10:22Speaker 12: of course, but this is their big payday. Not that
- 1:10:25Speaker 12: they would ever sell all their stock a rocket scientists
- 1:10:27Speaker 12: who's loyal to SpaceX, but they could be selling a
- 1:10:30Speaker 12: quarter of their position, right. They got to feed their family,
- 1:10:33Speaker 12: they have to have a roof over their head, so.
- 1:10:37Speaker 4: I don't blame them at all.
- 1:10:38Speaker 12: But we're doing really well. It's better than we could
- 1:10:41Speaker 12: expected that I could have expected. Today we're up thirteen percent.
- 1:10:44Speaker 12: We're at one hundred and eighty one dollars, and when
- 1:10:48Speaker 12: we closed at one sixty one, we were eleven. On Friday,
- 1:10:52Speaker 12: we were eleven dollars up from where it opened at
- 1:10:55Speaker 12: one point fifty. So that's all good news. That's all
- 1:10:58Speaker 12: good news, and we'd like to see.
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: That nothing too create.
- 1:11:02Speaker 12: I mean, it's excellent, amazing, but we don't want it
- 1:11:05Speaker 12: too crazy. Well here's the thing, though, I love you know,
- 1:11:09Speaker 12: love people love, they love Elon Musk. I like I
- 1:11:14Speaker 12: was the first one in the Tesla bandwagon. I don't
- 1:11:17Speaker 12: go around like I should and tell everyone that I
- 1:11:20Speaker 12: was the first one to support Tesla. But I was
- 1:11:22Speaker 12: in twenty ten with the IPO and did it numerous
- 1:11:26Speaker 12: numerous times. But with SpaceX and a one point eight
- 1:11:31Speaker 12: trillion dollar valuation.
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: There we go, sorry trillion.
- 1:11:34Speaker 12: Okay, when you're thinking about something like that, we're talking
- 1:11:37Speaker 12: about rocket ships that go up into space and like
- 1:11:42Speaker 12: put a satellite in there colonizing Mars. We you know,
- 1:11:47Speaker 12: there's so much that goes into that, right, it's not
- 1:11:50Speaker 12: favorable to our needs.
- 1:11:53Speaker 4: And so the.
- 1:11:54Speaker 12: Biggest question is is the fact that he will put
- 1:11:59Speaker 12: data centers in outer space, because then it's the sun
- 1:12:03Speaker 12: that will be the electricity, will provide the energy that
- 1:12:06Speaker 12: will give the the electricity that can run these data
- 1:12:11Speaker 12: centers that have to be massive. Is that worth one
- 1:12:14Speaker 12: point eight trillion dollars? You know, we also have data
- 1:12:17Speaker 12: centers popping up all over our country. And then you
- 1:12:21Speaker 12: also have to ask yourself does it make sense?
- 1:12:24Speaker 4: You know, will it makes.
- 1:12:26Speaker 12: Sense to put those companies out of business and have
- 1:12:30Speaker 12: people it's bad enough in their backyard they have a
- 1:12:32Speaker 12: humming sound from a data center, But are they going
- 1:12:34Speaker 12: to have a data center now that's empty when that happens?
- 1:12:38Speaker 12: So right, Remember, there's all sort of technologies that are
- 1:12:41Speaker 12: great and make sense, but they don't. You know, the
- 1:12:45Speaker 12: ramifications are so severe. I didn't want to go on
- 1:12:48Speaker 12: about too much, but SpaceX is really is really leveraging
- 1:12:54Speaker 12: off of that's sort of like every little boy's love
- 1:12:58Speaker 12: of outer space astronomy and rocket ships and being an astrona.
- 1:13:04Speaker 12: I mean, there's a reason why there's in a year
- 1:13:06Speaker 12: that goes by that we don't have some kind of
- 1:13:08Speaker 12: like futuristic spaceman you know movie right, many and they
- 1:13:16Speaker 12: always and many of them are repetitive.
- 1:13:18Speaker 4: But they still sell.
- 1:13:19Speaker 12: People want to see these so well, I.
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: Know people were interested in your thoughts. Thank you for
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: sharing them with us. I know that you also have
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: some fun five mid year stock picks to talk about,
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: the first one of which is Airbnb.
- 1:13:33Speaker 12: Yes, Airbnb is coming back strong. You know those travel stocks,
- 1:13:38Speaker 12: you know, with all this oil and gas prices, you know,
- 1:13:41Speaker 12: they're really taking a toll on people's vacation budgets. I'm
- 1:13:45Speaker 12: finding more and more that Airbnb is extremely popular.
- 1:13:49Speaker 4: So you know a ABN B.
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: Oh excuse me, oh goodness.
- 1:13:56Speaker 12: Yes, all right, so they're really very well positioned absorb
- 1:14:00Speaker 12: the travel corridor ahead. So and also the stock has
- 1:14:04Speaker 12: has traded down and Airbnb has implemented better than most
- 1:14:09Speaker 12: companies very much. So an AI driven ability, I mean,
- 1:14:13Speaker 12: that's where you need AI, right then, that's super duper
- 1:14:17Speaker 12: computer ability to match people up.
- 1:14:19Speaker 4: And to be responsive.
- 1:14:20Speaker 12: Next one, so Airbnb because you can make some money.
- 1:14:23Speaker 12: Chipotle CMG. Chipotle is getting popular again. People are turning
- 1:14:29Speaker 12: to it. I don't want to in any way negate
- 1:14:35Speaker 12: the positives of wonderful companies out there, like Wingstop and
- 1:14:41Speaker 12: and and and some of these these more heavy let's
- 1:14:45Speaker 12: say fast food restaurants right that are amazing. But Chipotle,
- 1:14:49Speaker 12: people are going back to quality. Not that those aren't quality,
- 1:14:53Speaker 12: but healthy.
- 1:14:54Speaker 4: I'm the same.
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: The concept is that they they present a healthier options,
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: is how they're marketing, and I think that they're well.
- 1:15:00Speaker 12: Yes, and people eat the Chipotle, and it's also cross
- 1:15:04Speaker 12: its over every demographic and economic quadrant of this country,
- 1:15:09Speaker 12: right and naturally important also because the teenagers are eating it,
- 1:15:13Speaker 12: the older senior citizens are eating, a family are having
- 1:15:16Speaker 12: it for dinner, people are running out of work and
- 1:15:18Speaker 12: grabbing it. So I love CMG, and it's and it's
- 1:15:22Speaker 12: trading much lower.
- 1:15:23Speaker 4: Than where it had been.
- 1:15:25Speaker 12: Here's what I never get on and really talk about banks,
- 1:15:28Speaker 12: except for Fulton Financial, which I love. But East West
- 1:15:31Speaker 12: Bank ORP EWBC. It's a regional bank and it's got
- 1:15:37Speaker 12: some of the strongest statistics for like you know, deposits
- 1:15:42Speaker 12: and loan ratios. The shares continue to outperform. You do
- 1:15:48Speaker 12: have a two and a half percent dividend yield here
- 1:15:51Speaker 12: and EWBC is a great way to play financial institutions
- 1:15:57Speaker 12: and being a smaller bank. You know, I think we're
- 1:16:00Speaker 12: going to see some consolidation.
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: I think I think you may be right. Let's let
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: me just review Airbnb. That's a b NB, Chipotle CMG,
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: and East West Bankcorp. Is e WBC. If you're trailing

- 1:17:05Speaker 2: and at that kevinshow dot com we're continuing to onboard
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: more and more of you. Again. I found out late
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: in the week last week that for the month of
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: May consecutively, three months in a row, you have broken
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: the previous month's record as having the all time highest
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: amount of traffic that we've had. And in May, in fact,
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: you tripled the number of visits you made to that
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: kevinshow dot com over the month of April, so nearly
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: three to one we had more traffic. And I'm just
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: grateful because what that means is that what we're offering
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: to people people are finding is useful, and that's what
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: we want this to be. We want this to be
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: an intersection, a community, if you will, of useful information
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: that helps impact your life in a practical way, helps
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: you think more clearly about the biggest news of the day.
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, you and I
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: are on a journey together, and as we take that journey,
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna, we're gonna do it together. If
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: you ever want to be in touch with me about anything.
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: By the way, the the email address is that Kevin
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: Show at gmail dot com, that Kevin Show at gmail
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: dot com, that Kevin Show at gmail dot com. The
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: other thing I am very very grateful for are those
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: of you that have heard are pleas and you your
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: hearts have been sensitive and you have you have heard
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: the pleas of the kids, and you've said, you know what,
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: I want to do something to help these children get
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: to a Christian summer camp so that they can have
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: a meaningful uh and impacting summer and that they can
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: maybe find Jesus uh similarly to the way their parents
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: have found Jesus. Their parents have completed Bible study programs
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: inside of prison and most of them have become Christians themselves. Uh.
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: They want their children to know the joy of knowing
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: Jesus and becoming a Christian. But they don't want them
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: to wait until they're in prison to find Jesus. They
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: want their kids to find Jesus and stay out of prison.
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: And that's one of the best things about Angel Tree Camp.
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: These are children of incarcerated persons, but they are being
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: exposed to the love and care and message and hope
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: that's found in Jesus. And when they put their faith
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: and trust in him, it starts a new life for them,
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: and so it takes them out of crime, it takes
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: them away from doing the dangerous and bad things, and
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: instead can truly, truly help them find meaning, purpose, wisdom,
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: all the things that they want for their life. And
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: you're helping the incarcerated parent as well, because that's what
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: the that's what the incarcerated parent now wants. They don't
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: want their children to follow in their footsteps. They want
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: their children to find and know the God of the Bible,
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: who loved them, who offered them salvation. They want their
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: child to have salvation, and they want them to know
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: Jesus in a real, tangible way. They don't want their
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: kid to have to wait until prison to find Jesus.
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: They want they want them to know Jesus now and
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: all the joy and all the goodness that he brings.
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: So when you give a gift of two hundred dollars,
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: or if you need to break it up, one hundred
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: dollars a month for two months, or fifty dollars a
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: month for four months, whatever combination you need to get there,
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: maybe you do one hundred and fifty one month and
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: fifty the next month. I don't know what the combination
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: looks like for you, but however, you have to put
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: it together. Friends, we would be grateful if you would
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: go and make that gift right now. You do it
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: by going to my website, that kevinshow dot com, that
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: kevinshow dot com, that kevinshow dot com, click the banner
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: at the top of the page that says Angel Tree
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: Camp and it just takes you about two minutes, I
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: think max, to fill out the form and to make
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: your gift. But once you've given that two hundred dollars
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: gift in whatever combination you need to to get a
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: kid to camp, then a child will be taken off
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: the waiting list and be given a scholarship to be
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: able to go to camp this summer. Their life changed,
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: their ability to know Jesus personally becomes a reality for them,
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: and you're in some ways reuniting parents and children who've
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: been separated by terrible stuff. Crime is a horror. The
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: parents are paying the time for the crimes that they've done.
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: It was not the child's problem, but here they are
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: trying to make recompense and by getting their child to
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: a Christian camp this summer, they will in fact be
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: introducing their child to the most important person they possibly could,
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, and hopefully and prayerfully that child's life begins
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: to change in a very dramatic way. Kevin Mchella, so
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: grateful to have you with us. We're just getting the
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: week started. Tomorrow be another big one, and we hope
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: that you can join us then
