• 1:15
  Speaker 2: he wants to be, but is way grateful that is
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: not who he used to be.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Here, all right, we've got some breaking news. Welcome, It's
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: That Kevin Show, that Kevinshow dot Com and I appreciate
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: you being with us as we try to make good
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: use of your time. It's very valuable what you do
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: and spending some time with us each day. We don't
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: ever want to take it for granted. But today there's
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: an important bit of news that's coming out of the
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Office of National Intelligence, because today Director of National Intelligence
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Tulsa Gabbard has released never before seen documents that expose
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: coordinated efforts by elements within the intelligence community, including a
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: former inspector General, to manufacture a conspiracy that was used
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: as the basis to impeach President Trump in twenty nineteen. Friends,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: listen to me carefully on this. These people that they
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: are not claiming a novel theory. What the Office of
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: National Intelligence is saying publicly is that they have documentation
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: of these claims. Not that so and so said to
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: so and so, Hey, let's get the big guy. They
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: have documents that put it in writing people that they
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: can identify point from one part of the conversation to
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: the next where in fact it took place. So here's
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: some of what they found. And this is disturbing. And friends,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: we need to understand that government can be weaponized against
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: we the people. First finding during his preliminary investigation into
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: President Trump's July twenty ninth teen phone conversation with Ukrainian
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: President Voladimir Zelinsky. Former ICIG, former Intelligence Community Inspector General
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Michael Atkinson did not follow standard Inspector General procedures and
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: relied upon politicized, manufactured narratives, only conducting interviews with four individuals,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the whistleblower, the whistleblower's friend who was co author of
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: the January twenty seventeen Russia hoax Intelligence Community Assessment and
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: close colleague of disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strock, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: two character references who had zero firsthand knowledge of the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: July twenty nineteen phone call. So, first of all, they've
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: identified that the circle that came up with these accusations
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: was extremely small and it was purposely kept tight like that,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: despite a lack of any firsthand evidence, the Intelligence Community
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Inspector General Atkinson proceeded to take actions to weaponize the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: whistleblower process and exceed his statutory jurisdiction by ignoring Department
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: of Justice guidance and relying only on second hand testimony
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: to ensure that the whistleblower complaint was released to Congress.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Let me translate for you. There are established guidelines in
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: how these types of things are supposed to be done.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: This Inspector General wiped the chalkboard clean of any of
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: those guidelines, and instead of using witnesses that had first
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: hand eyewitness, personal experience testimony, he relied on second hand
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: so and so told me, so and so said I
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: wasn't there, but so and so fill in the blank,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: despite the lack of any firsthand evidence. He did this
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: on second hand testimony to ensure the whistle blower complaint
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: was released to Congress, referred to the FBI, and leaked
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: to propaganda media. So again, careful understanding what happened. They
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: don't have anyone with firsthand experience. The whistleblower doesn't even
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: have it. They're giving second hand testimony, unverifiable. Then they
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: skirted protocols to make sure that it was released to Congress,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: that it got referred to the FBI, and then leaked
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to the propaganda media as authoritative, as though it was meritorious.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Then House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and then Speaker Nancy Pelosi used the false secondhand narrative
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: to create media intrigue and ultimately spark the basis to
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: impeach President Trump in December of twenty nineteen. Here's what
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: the document's actual say. And this is all breaking, friends.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I'm just giving it to you as it's coming out.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Deep State actors within the intelligence community concocted a false
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: narrative that was used by Congress to usurp the will
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: of the American people and impeach the duly elected president
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: of the United States. Inspector General Atkinson failed to uphold
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: his responsibility to the American people, putting political motivations over truth,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: firsthand knowledge, and first hand testimony. And this, along with
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the politicization of the whistleblower process by a former CIA
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: employee who was working hand in g love with Democrats
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: in Congress, are egregious examples of the deep state playbook
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: on how to weaponize the intelligence community. Exposing these tactics
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: and showing how they undermined the fabric of our democratic
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: republic furthers the critical cause of transparency and accountability and
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: will help prevent future abuse of power. So, just to
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: summarize the findings, they had no first hand evidence to
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: support the idea that Donald Trump did anything wrong in
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: his phone call with Zelensky, and should have ever been
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: referred to for impeachment. Now, those of you that were
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: listening to me back during that time, you know that
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I made the argument that it did not appear that
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: firsthand evidence was being used. Here's what we know. The
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: whistleblower confirms that they had no firsthand knowledge of President
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Trump's phone call. New witness interviews released today showed that
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: the ICIG's public claim that other information obtained during the
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: preliminary review supports the compliance complaints allegation. Witness Too admitted that,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: upon reading the transcript, would not have been able to
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: get from point A to point Z. Witness too admitted
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: that she or he had to read between the lines
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: of what was being said. The whistleblower's superior, a senior
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: officer in the National Intelligence Council, told the ICIG that
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: they did not like how the whistleblower handled the filing
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: of the report, and it was looped in right at
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: the time of the crash. The fourteen day preliminary investigation
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: was intended to assess apparent credibility, but instead it became
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: the basis for a flawed, mischaracterized account that House Democrats
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: peddled to launch a sham impeachment. The ICIG never conducted
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: a formal or complete investigation, and in his own words,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I g. Atkinson recognizes that his conclusions were based on
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: a preliminary investigation, noting, I haven't done an investigation to
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: determine whether they actually in fact took place, that all
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: of the alleged actions actually took place. So he even
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: admits that he didn't have the evidence and had not
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: performed a proper investigation. Friends, this is why President Trump
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: is insisting on transparency in every area of the government.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: You can't have people manipulate and fudging facts around the edges.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: And Adam Schiff I think should be held criminally responsible.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I think Peter Strock needs to be held criminally responsible.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: This was a partisan attack, peddled by lies and advanced
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: by people that had no firsthand knowledge of what actually
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: happened on the phone call. And now we have the
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: documents to prove it. Now we have the documents that
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: vindicate what President Trump said all along. It was a
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: perfect phone call. There were people on the call, none
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: of them were interviewed in this investigation. There were staff members,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: there were people from the State Department. There were people
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: that were on the call that they could have interviewed.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: They didn't. Why now we know because it was a sham.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: From the very beginning, Cavin mkella asked the big question,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: how do we Live?
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: Coming up next?
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: Here he is from New York, Kevin.
• 10:16

• 10:23

• 10:27
  Speaker 3: of what we discussed in this section of the show

  Speaker 3: free there in your inbox waiting for you. This is
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: the part of the show, though, where we ask the
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: big question each day, And if you've listened to me
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: for any length of time, you know that I am
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: very burdened by the fact that I don't believe we
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: asked the big questions nearly enough questions that mankind has
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: asked since the beginning of time. Who am I? Why
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: am I here? What is my purpose? How do I
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: live in light of that purpose? And the question how
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: do we live? Really kind of came in my experience
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: from a guy named Francis Schaeffer, who said, how then
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: shall we live knowing that the Bible is true, knowing
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: that God is real, knowing that it all matters to us?
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: What do we do about it? How do we go
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: from there? And I was thinking about this this weekend
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: and I thought, you know, part of us living in
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: this culture and answering that question is being able to
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: tell other people why we do believe that God does exist.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: If we live in a culture where we think God
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: that people hate God, what if they were able to
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: see that maybe God is real and that hating him
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: has definitely downsides to it. Well, my good friend Doug Becker,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: who's pasture of theology at a church called Emergence in
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: New Jersey, not associated with the theological movement, I just
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: want to make that clear. Your your senior pastor Ryan Bates,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: has been with us, Doug, and he's joked, maybe the
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: worst named church in America, but un but anyway, Yeah,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: people always like, what is that part of the emergent
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: theology movement. No, no, no, no, not at all. We
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: are very very traditional in the in the theological outlook
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: with the folks at emergence, and very very happy that
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: that Doug is here. He is the pastor of theology.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Part of his job is to study the scriptures and
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: make sure that the teaching staff are on track with
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: what the Bible says. And I love that accountability, Doug.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: But you also teach other things. And you're going to
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: have a session called Summer Sessions this summer where you're
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: going to look at the existence of God and the
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: arguments surrounding the existence of God. And we kicked this
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: off yesterday. What what are we looking at today?
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: So today we're going to go with another one of
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: the more common arguments that is used, and this is
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: called the cosmological argument for God's Jesuists.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: All right, what does it consist of?
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: So the particular version of the argument that has been
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: pretty in vogue for quite a few years for good reason,
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: is called the klomb cosmological argument. So the basic idea
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: is this, it's actually a pretty tight logical syllogism, you know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: where you have premises and then something that follows from that.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: So the argument is pretty simple.
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: Whatever begins to exist has a cause. The universe began
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: to exist, and therefore the universe has a cause. And
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: we can put a little bit of flare onto that,
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: which I think is helpful and gets us, you know,
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: closer to realizing some attributes of God that would be
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: a part of the universe's well, that would be the
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: universe's cause.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: So if I could just unpack those for a second.
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: So when we say that, like the universe began to exist, right,
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: we're saying that the universe is not eternal in the past,
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: that the past is not infinite, and essentially that comes
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: from the insight that that that would be impossible. Okay,
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: so the number of past moments, whether we're talking about
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: seconds or days or years, cannot go on literally forever.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: Now this is confirmed by modern cosmology, which probably don't
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: have time to go into and I don't want to
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: pretend to be a cosmologist, but there so there's that
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: you can use like a science y kind of argument
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: for that. But I think another way to understand that
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: is is logically that you cannot cross an infinite distance
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: by taking one step out of time, right, you're always
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: taking even if you go on for for for millions
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: and millions of years, billions and billions of years, trillions
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: and trillions, what whatever the number is, it's all it's
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: not infinite. There is some beginning to the past, okay.
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: And so what that gets us to is is the
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: idea that there there must be some cause of the
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: universe at some time in the finite past that is
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: itself uncaused, and that is itself beginningless.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: That's that's pretty crucial, right, because the first premise is
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: whatever begins to exist as a cause. We're not saying
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: that that that, you know, we're not We're not saying
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: that that that something that would be beginning less would
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: have a cause, because it's it's things that begin to exist.
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: And and so that's the we learned that about the
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: cause of the universe, that it is uncaused, that it
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: is beginningless. And then I said, we could put a
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: little bit of flare on there as well, that this
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: cause it would seem is personal.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, So you can.
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: Kind of think of it this way. If the cause
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: of the universe was was a purely mechanical, like always
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: on set of conditions, right, like these things are all
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: like the cause of the universe is is these factors right?
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: If it's uncaused big beginningless?
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Right, those always exist.
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: And if the cause always exists, then necessarily the universe
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: the effect always exists. If the if the initial cause
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: is always on, then the effect is always on. But
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: the universe had a beginning, so that what this suggests
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: is that the cause has agency or personal will, the
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: ability to be in a timeless state of not creating
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: and then choosing to create.
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: So those are you.
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: Know that that's kind of the open up the fire
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: hydrant crash. Course, in the Kalom cosmological argument, there are
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: you know, interesting objections that I think you can also
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: gain insight by answering. But that's essentially the nuts and
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: the bolts of it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: So it's not just does God exist, it's if he does,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: what does it mean?
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and it's pretty profound, right because essentially I said,
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: this is one kind of cosmological argument. Cosmological arguments in
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: general basically appeal to the fact that everything in reality,
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: in our reality, you know, in the in the physical
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: universe at least, let's say, so we're not asking weird
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: questions about like numbers and logical concepts and stuff. But
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: all these things that that are in our observable universe
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: are contingent, meaning they come from something else. But you
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: can't have contingency forever. Eventually you arise, you arrive at
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: some kind of necessary being that causes the universe. And
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: I think that's that's it really does come to blow
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: your mind when you realize that this is characteristic of
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: the God who loves us and created us, that that
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: he is that other than us, right, Like he's not
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: just another object in the universe off on some distant
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: planet somewhere, but that he's the cause of reality as
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: we know it itself.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: That's pretty mind blowing to me. What is what's the
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: practical takeaway?
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: Well, I think the practical the practical impact I mean
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: is a couple things. Is like it's it's important to
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: see God not just simply as as someone or a
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: concept or something that helps you achieve something. Right, Like,
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: we believe in him because he's useful. You know, he
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: helped me get sober, or he helps me through hard
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: times and things like that. This is the crutch idea
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: kind of you know, like no, we believe in him
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: because he's real, because he is the best way to
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: by far, to understand our reality. Route reality makes most
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: sense when seen through the eyes of God. And when
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: you dig down and you say like, and you and
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: you realize that he's the the best explanation by far
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: of our existence, and that it is rational to believe
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: in him.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: That so he's not just.
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: A useful idea, that that that God exists, that he
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: is there and his existence is more necessary than even
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: the eye, right, like the I in I think therefore
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: I am is is itself contingent. Right, There was a
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: time when I.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Was not, and there's a time when I will no
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: longer be, but you know, at least in this world,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: all right, Doug, Wow, a couple of really great days.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys do a really good job of using
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: your like holiday break and your summer break to help
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: educate on big cultural issues. Not a lot of churches
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: do that. I'm really grateful for it. All right, break,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Doug Becker, Thank you, We appreciate you.
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: Thanks, Kevin, I'll be with you tomorrow.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: You got it. Kevin mccallach coming right back from New York.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Don't go what stick around for more that Kevin next.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. That Kevin McCullough.
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: I always worry about the conditions. That's the water, is
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: the ferment. Sometimes in winter they get sick.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: They might get diarrhea, they might get stomach ache, And
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I believe that is because of the conditions.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: That they have.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think that there's anybody on the planet that
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: can argue that being sick from bad water is a
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: bad experience. And if you've ever been in a foreign country,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: if you've ever been in a place where the water
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: supply is not sound and you've experienced that, you know,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: just on an average basis what it is like to
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: be said from that, but can you imagine that type
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: of water being the only water supply you have. Well,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: that is the case in thousands of little lives throughout
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Central and Latin America, South America, Haiti, some of the
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: countries where Food for the poores at work. And the
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: reason that we are bringing this to your attention right
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: now is because it is important to know that every
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: one of the children that we help with Food for
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: the Poor this year is not just going to receive
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: a year's worth of food with two meals per day
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: for the next three hundred and sixty five days, but
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: they're going to get clean drinking water. They're going to
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: have access to clean drinking water. Here from Food for
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: the Poor to discuss is Danny Patino who rejoins us
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: and Danny, when I think of contaminated water, I almost
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: think of this as a bigger crisis, a more urgent
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: crisis than the lack of food. It takes you longer
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: to starve to death than it does to drink really
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: bad water and have your whole system be flushed with
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: dehydration and your body rejecting and emptying out of all
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: of the moisture that you have. And this is what
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Contaminated water leads to deaths from dehydration more than anything else.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: So it's a really really bad deal. But the fact
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: that we give clean drinking water access to clean drinking water,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: every one of these kids were helping today, that's really
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: an amazing thing.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: And you said it best yourself.
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: It can make you sick, and you're already sick, Then
• 23:24
  Speaker 11: where do we go?
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: What's the next step?
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: So clean water should be all right, we understand that,
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: but for millions that we serve here at Food for
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: the Poor, it's a risk. And we're talking about water
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: that doesn't quench a thirst. It makes you sick. It
• 23:39
  Speaker 11: creates sickness, and that water steals childhoods. And we heard
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: there are Maria we met in Guatemala. She just thinks
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: about what's going to make them sick if I drink
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: them water, not the other way around, where I want
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: to quench their thirst and move on with life. Right
• 23:56
  Speaker 11: that we usually do here in the States, because we
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: don't have to think about that kind of we probably
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: drink the bottom water that sits in our car in
• 24:03
  Speaker 11: the sun for a couple of days because we know
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: it's clean and we know we can drink it. And
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: that's the kind of luxury that we live here. And
• 24:10
  Speaker 11: by the luxury, I mean it is a luxury for
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: these families that we're helping in Latin America and the Caribbean.
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: And chronic diarrhea isn't just a symptom. It's a thief.
• 24:19
  Speaker 11: It steals nutrition from hungry children. It steals days from school.
• 24:25
  Speaker 11: Imagine I even being able to go to school because
• 24:27
  Speaker 11: you're sick, and on top of that and not be
• 24:29
  Speaker 11: able to feed your kids to get them back to health.
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: So that way, maybe you can get your routine going.
• 24:35
  Speaker 11: And that routine is broken right away. And this is
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: that strength that withers away on families that are already struggling.
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: And this can be preventable, and it really is. And
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: that's why I'm here today to tell you that you
• 24:47
  Speaker 11: can step into those lives of those families with a
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: one time gift and that one time gift becomes a
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: daily gift for these families, for the children that are
• 24:55
  Speaker 11: already going through malnourishment. This becomes a meal that finally
• 24:59
  Speaker 11: gets them back on their feet. Water that is no
• 25:01
  Speaker 11: longer contamidated. It's safe water. Water they can use for many,
• 25:05
  Speaker 11: many other things other than drinking. Finally, you can cook
• 25:08
  Speaker 11: with this, you can bathe with this, you can use it,
• 25:10
  Speaker 11: and you know that it's not going to come back
• 25:12
  Speaker 11: and become something worse. And that's the choice that a
• 25:16
  Speaker 11: parent should not make. They should Their choices would be
• 25:20
  Speaker 11: what kind of meal are we having today? What what
• 25:23
  Speaker 11: cool adventure are we going to go on today? And
• 25:26
  Speaker 11: that's the goal that we were trying to provide with
• 25:29
  Speaker 11: the one time gift that we were asking here, Well,
• 25:31
  Speaker 11: one time gift, the one hundred and fifty dollars, like
• 25:33
  Speaker 11: you said, it becomes a world of change, three hundred
• 25:36
  Speaker 11: and sixty five days of relief for these families.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: If you think about this, friends, and I really beg
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: of you to consider that one hundred and fifty dollars
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: seventy five dollars per child is not only going to
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: feed them two meals a day for the coming year,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: but that it's going to give them access to clean
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: drinking water. Now do you think they need probably more
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: than eight or sixteen ounces whatever your little water bottle
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: is that you buy from the vending machine, or you
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: get it from the from the Walgreens or wherever you go,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: you know, and you grab a bottle of water, even
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: if you get it from the Sam's Club or the
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: you know whatever else the discount buyer shop, and you
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: get the big crate, they're still what a dollar fifty
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: each or something like that, dollar twenty five maybe where
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: you can go. Imagine having to supply water for a
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: child for an entire year, and they're going to need
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: more than eight ounces a day. They're going to need
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: a lot more than eight ounces of water a day.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: You're supposed to drink half your body weight in water
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: each day just to be healthy. So think about that
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: and then do that math. You're talking about several hundred
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: dollars just for clean water for one child. And here's
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: the thing. This is the beautiful kind of multiplying effect
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: of food for the poor. You give your gift of
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: seventy five dollars for that child, they're going to get
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: over seven hundred meals for the next year. And in addition,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: they're going to get literally hundreds, if not thousands of
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: dollars worth of clean drinking water when you put a
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: dollar amount on it, when you understand what that cost,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: what it would cost you to bring it into your
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: home to give to your kids, to have your family,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: imagine that cost, But imagine now the efficiency of having
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: seventy five dollars provide all of that for one child
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: for the next year. So one hundred and fifty dollars
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: takes care of two kids. Now listen to me very
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: carefully for the next ten minutes. Every child that we
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: take care of, every seventy five dollars gift, every one
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars gift that comes in, every gift
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: of any size is going to be double friends, be
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: a miracle in another child's life right now eight five
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: five nine zero seven four six seventy three. Text the
• 27:51

  Speaker 3: that's all good. Thank you, thank you, thank you, and
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: look you here. Linda Perrillo's back with us on Tuesday nights.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: She and I do this little fun show in New
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: York on AM nine seventy the Answer. But I've invited
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: her to come talk to the country here in the afternoon.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: You were you were just away on a boat by
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: NCL to talk to us a little bit about what
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: your experience was like.
• 28:58
  Speaker 13: I was on the second sale of the Norwegian Luna
• 29:02
  Speaker 13: and we loved it.
• 29:04
  Speaker 10: We loved it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 13: I went with with just three of my kids and
• 29:09
  Speaker 13: it was great. My husband was a first time cruiser,
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: my stepdaughter was a first time cruiser.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: It was good.
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: I mean, I love love cruising.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: I mean the husband who'd never been on before.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: Like this, he was great.
• 29:20
  Speaker 13: He gets a little seasick, but you know, we brought
• 29:22
  Speaker 13: drama meine for that. And those those ships are they're
• 29:24
  Speaker 13: brand new, they have stabilizers, you know, their they're fabulous
• 29:28
  Speaker 13: in that way.
• 29:29
  Speaker 10: And I do have to point something out to you.
• 29:31
  Speaker 13: So my husband does not have a passport, uh, presently
• 29:34
  Speaker 13: at this time, and he was able to cruise on.
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: An open what do we call an open.
• 29:41
  Speaker 13: Loop a closed loop cruise, which means that closed loop cruise, sorry,
• 29:46
  Speaker 13: which means that you start and you end in the
• 29:48
  Speaker 13: same destination domestic destination, which we did. We started in
• 29:52
  Speaker 13: Miami and closed it out in Miami and was able
• 29:55
  Speaker 13: to travel seamlessly with a birth certificate and a license
• 30:02
  Speaker 13: of a real ID.
• 30:04
  Speaker 10: And we made it and it was not a problem.
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: It was like it was like doing it with a passport.
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: I mean, it was crazy.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: We were never really outside of American territories.
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: Yes we were.
• 30:13
  Speaker 13: We were in Belize, we were in Honduras, we were
• 30:15
  Speaker 13: in custom I in Mexico and Cosamel and on and
• 30:19
  Speaker 13: off the ship, no problem. I did like flawless, and
• 30:23
  Speaker 13: I do have to give it to NCL that part
• 30:26
  Speaker 13: of the trip was great. You know, there are certain
• 30:28
  Speaker 13: things that I think that they could correct to make
• 30:31
  Speaker 13: it better. Staff, you know, overworked and underpaid. Nobody's as
• 30:36
  Speaker 13: nice as they were anymore. I mean, I'm going to
• 30:38
  Speaker 13: say eighty percent were good. There's another twenty percent that
• 30:41
  Speaker 13: probably didn't really like their jobs, and that's where quality
• 30:45
  Speaker 13: control comes in. But it has nothing to do. I
• 30:48
  Speaker 13: don't think with NCL truly. I just think that's across
• 30:51
  Speaker 13: the boards the way it is right now. Yes, it is,
• 30:54
  Speaker 13: for sure, unfortunately, but that's for sure. Loved the Haven.
• 30:59
  Speaker 13: If you're going to travel with NCL, you want to
• 31:02
  Speaker 13: drop a dime if you can on the Haven and
• 31:05
  Speaker 13: use that. It's an enclave. You have your own pool,
• 31:08
  Speaker 13: you have a butler, you have a lot of things
• 31:11
  Speaker 13: that will eliminate the crowds, you know, on the other
• 31:15
  Speaker 13: portion of the ship.
• 31:16
  Speaker 10: So if you can do it, I would.
• 31:18
  Speaker 13: I would do that, and we enjoyed that part of
• 31:21
  Speaker 13: the of the journey as well.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well it sounds like it was a fun experience
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: and if you enjoy show. Linda's going to be authoring
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: a piece about this for that Passport Life, the newsletter
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: that we author for travel, so be checking that out soon. Linda,
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: you and I are slated to take a trip to
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Italy and we've invited thirty of our best friends to
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: come with us. Actually we're inviting those of you listening
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: to come with us. It is going to be Rome
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: and the Amalfi Coast. It is going to be the
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: September the twenty ninth through October the eighth, and I
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: got into a little bit of an argument with my
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: guitar player at church on Sunday because he church can
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: and he's gone to Italy. He was telling everybody in
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: the room, Hey, go to Italy in the middle of August,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: middle of August, have time to go to And I went,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: what are you talking about again? The middle of August,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: especially for the Amalfi Coast, that's where all the Italians
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: are at. They all go to the Amalfi Coast in
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: the middle of August. Come with us at the end
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: of September. But why is that the case.
• 32:22
  Speaker 13: Well, listen, first of all, the hottest weather is August,
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: and traditionally, historically the Italians take off for what we
• 32:34
  Speaker 13: call Ferragusto, which is really built around August fifteenth, which
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: is the Feast of the Assumption. But like the Italians,
• 32:41
  Speaker 13: they use it as an excuse to have a vacation
• 32:43
  Speaker 13: and not just one day, the whole month month of August.
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: If you're gonna do it, you know, Italians have to
• 32:50
  Speaker 13: over abon Ganza. Even your wa Ganza has to be
• 32:54
  Speaker 13: abu Ganza. We know, hag this one day they go, oh,
• 33:00
  Speaker 13: month and that's what they used to do. And then
• 33:03
  Speaker 13: so back in the day, the shops were closed, restaurants
• 33:06
  Speaker 13: were closed, the vacation towns or resort towns were dead,
• 33:10
  Speaker 13: and the tourists were coming over and couldn't do anything.
• 33:13
  Speaker 13: Now that has changed a lot things.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: The shops are open and all the Italians just go
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: to the places where all the tourists go to.
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah they do.
• 33:22
  Speaker 13: And also too again, August is still you know, travel time,
• 33:26
  Speaker 13: vacation season for foreigners. Kids are not back at school
• 33:29
  Speaker 13: yet unless you have you know, college kids that go
• 33:32
  Speaker 13: back mid mid August, end of August. But generally kids
• 33:36
  Speaker 13: are still around and people are still traveling. Teachers are traveling,
• 33:39
  Speaker 13: you know. So now we've pushed to September and October,
• 33:43
  Speaker 13: which are even better.
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: Months to travel.
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: You're eliminating the crowds, You're eliminating that really oppressive heat
• 33:51
  Speaker 13: which can absolutely get Mediterranean sun. I'm sorry, it's like
• 33:55
  Speaker 13: being in the Caribbean and you know it's crazy.
• 33:58
  Speaker 10: It's hot.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Well, here's how it works. Friends. If you go to
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Italy twenty twenty six dot info Italy twenty twenty six
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: dot info, you can see the itinerary. It is. It
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: is a trip that is loosely based on a trip
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: that I took with my family a year ago and
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: it was my kid's first time to Italy, it was
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: my first time to southern Italy and with the bride
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: planned it all with Linda's help, and what an amazing, beautiful,
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: miraculous trip it was. So we thought, hey, why not
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: take listeners to go experience the same thing. So great restaurants,
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: fun things to see. You're going to spend four days
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: in Rome, get all kinds of history and culture and
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: just incredible kind of historic city experience. And then we're
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: going to flip the whole paradigm on its head and
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: go to the Amalfi coast and it's going to be
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: beautiful and sun and shopping and beaches and you know,

• 35:08

  Speaker 10: So, oh my god, the best he did.

  Speaker 14: Stick around for more of that Kevin next.
• 35:54
  Speaker 15: Time, serving it up with a no drink minim. It's
• 36:09
  Speaker 15: that candem of the show.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: All right, Kevin mccallaugh. Glad to have you with us.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: It's such a funny day, and it's a good day
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: when justice happens, when people finally get vindication after having
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: been wrongfully maligned and accused for so long. I'm happy
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: for the president that the truth has come out in
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: the documents regarding his first impeachment, which should have never happened.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: But friends, you basically, look at everything that he's been through,
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: none of the he shouldn't have gone through any of
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: the things he did. The impeachment after January sixth was
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: a joke. The impeachment in twenty nineteen was a joke.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: The criminal case quote unquote criminal case against him in
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Manhattan was a joke. Amateurish lawyers making up lies that
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: they then propagate a case by and judges play along
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: with it. It's it was just pathetic, and he's been
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: vindicated a return. Well. Yesterday, I told you a little
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: bit about Eric swall Swollwell. I think that's swall Swollwell.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: I think that's how you say his name, swall Swallwell.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: But over the weekend there were it was a bad
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: weekend for Eric Swollwell, who is married but is facing
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: hideous accusations from increasing numbers of people. And if all
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: of that wasn't bad enough, then somebody releases actual videotape
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: of him on social media over the weekend, basically forcing
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: his tongue into a woman's mouth who does not seem
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: to be that into what he's doing. The clip is
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: really short, but it made the rounds on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: it was everywhere over the weekend, and every time it
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: would come through the feed, I was like, Oh, that's
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: just ugh. I'm surprised you didn't get arrested that night.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: But yesterday, after he dropped out of the race for
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: governor for the state of California, he also announced he's
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: resigning from Congress, and the people rejoiced because this man
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: is vile. He is one of the most hateful, evil, corrupt,
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: criminal minds that the Democrats had in Congress. And the
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: announcement came Monday afternoon. He said, I'm deeply sorry to
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: my family, staff and constituents for mistakes and judgment I've
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: made in the past. I will fight the serious accusations
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: against me. Okay, However, I must take responsibility and ownership
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: for the mistakes I did make. So which was which?
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Come on, Eric, fess up, which ones were the real
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: ones and which ones were the not real ones? He said,
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: without due process within days of an allegation being made
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: is wrong. Therefore, I planned to resis my seat in Congress. Dude,
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: if you were in the right, you would have no
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: reason to resign. I don't know what you have to
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: say in front of the country, in front of you,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: the body of your colleagues, where you take that girl's
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: head on that bed and you shove your tongue in
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: her mouth, obviously against her will, in the in the
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: way the video looks. And that's and that's one of
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: the tamer things that came out over the weekend. This
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: guy is vile. I mean, we're all sinners, none of
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: us is better than anybody else. But I want to
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: aim for aspirational leadership in our government. I want to
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: aim for the people that I vote for to have
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: some degree of moral fiber about them. I hope that
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: we just don't like cash it in and okay, I
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: guess we can't get any better than this and then
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: just throw anybody up there. They work for us, they're
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: accountable to us, there are employees. Republican Congresswoman Anna Paula
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: Luna said there needs to be a full fledged criminal investigation.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Based on what I'm hearing, he may even yet go
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: to jail. Friends, if that's true, then he's gonna, you know,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: he's going to have more consequences to face. So I
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: just I think that that is all really important. There's
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: a certain degree of me that's very grateful that he
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: is resigning. I think he's been a horrible congressman, and
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: he has terrible ideas, and he is an immoral man.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: But aside from that, Missus Lincoln, how was the play?
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: The following program is pre recorded somewhere in the bowels.

• 41:11
  Speaker 5: Of course, that Kevin Show is going to be great.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: The only thing that could be greater, of course, would
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: be that Donald Show. But we don't have that. So

• 42:03
  Speaker 3: Studios, the man.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Who is not what he wants to be, but is
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: way grateful that he's not who he used to be.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Here, all right, Kevin McCollough, glad you're with us. What
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: a gorgeous stay in the New York trist State area.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: I am glad and thankful that you are here. We
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: have got breaking news, we got stuff to get to.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a good hour. I hope you'll stick around.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Katie McFarlane's here. There is no one that I trust
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: more on the reading the tea leaves of what's going
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: on in the war more than Katie McFarlane. And the
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: fact that she wasn't with us last week I was
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: kind of sad about. But she's back and she's loaded
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: for bear. We've got probably too much to get into
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: her one segment where we're gonna do the best we can.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: But glad to have you with us. Thank you for
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: being here. I have been noticing in the last few days.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: And if you happen to be Catholic, and you happened
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: to be a big, big fan of the current pope,
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: I don't mean for my commentary here in the next
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: few minutes to offend you personally, But I do feel
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: like I need to say something because the Pope has
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: been wandering into areas that he normally wouldn't and maybe shouldn't.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: And I'm gonna tell you what I mean by that
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: in a minute, because I do believe that men of God,
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: pastors in particular, have an obligation to be faithful, to
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: demonstrate to their congregations, to the people that they are
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: teaching on a weekly basis, how Scripture applies to life
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: and how we should be adapting that to our lives
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: today and so forth. So it's interesting when the Pope
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: doesn't weigh in on stuff that are very much up
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: his alley, like you would think things like boys and girls' bathrooms, sexuality,
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: you know, some of this stuff that scripture clearly addresses,
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: and some of it that that faith clearly addresses would
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: be something that he makes big proclamations about. But he doesn't.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: But the last couple of weeks he's been wandering into
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: the I'm going to say something about the war and
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: public policy and some of those types of things, and
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: being a good old Chicago boy, he kind of knows
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: how that's interpreted back here. So I'm not saying this
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: to down the Pope, but I do think he needs
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: to be mindful of exactly what his calling is, and
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: the Vice President, who is a Catholic, feels the same.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: In fact, the Vice President fired back at Vatican criticism
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: of the administration by telling Pope Leo the fourteenth to quote,
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: stick to matters of more and stay out of American
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: public policy. The Vice President joined Special Report with Brett
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: Bhaer to defend the President, defining a firm line between
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: the Pope's religious authority and the President's role in protecting
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: the United States. And this is what Vance told Bear
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: on the Monday Night Show. He said, I certainly think
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: that in some cases it would be best for the
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: Vatican to stick to matters of morality and let the
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: President of the United States stick to dictating American public policy.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: The first American Pope has been critical the Trump administration's
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: stances on issues like immigration and the conflict in Iran,
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: and over the weekend, President Trump posted on truth Social
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: criticizing the religious leader. He said, Pope Leo is weak
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: on crime and terrible on foreign policy. I don't want
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: a pope who thinks it's okay for a Ran to
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: have a nuclear weapon. Leave it to the president to
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: just be blunt about it. But that's okay. I can
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: handle it. I think the Pope can handle it. I
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: hope you can handle it if you're listening. But he's
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: probably right that the Pope probably is weak on crime,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: and he does not have much nuance for foreign policy.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Most popes don't. Actually Pope John Paul second during the
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: Reagan and Maggie Thatcher era had an incredible grasp on
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: public policy, and he knew exactly how bad the Soviet
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: oppression of people was, and that's one of the reasons
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: why those three leaders helped bring down the Iron Curtain,
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: which was amazing. Vance has been vocal about his conversion
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: to Catholicism and said he's not concerned the President of
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: the Pope are arguing, and that it's natural for them
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: to clash and have opposing views when they're in conflict.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: They're in conflict. I don't worry about it too much, Brett.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: I think it's a natural thing. I'm sure it will
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: happen in the future, and it's not that big of
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: a deal that had happened in the past. Vance added
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: that while this is not the first time the two
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: leaders had disagreements. He does not expect it to be
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: the last. Still, he said the White House respects the
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: religious authority of Poplio and affirmed that they have a
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: strong relationship with the Vatican. He said, we certainly have
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: a good relationship with the Vatican, but we're also going
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: to disagree on substantive questions from time to time. I
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: think that's totally a reasonable thing. It isn't particularly newsworthy,
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: events said. He also addressed the backlash over the AI
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: generated image that Trump shared and later deleted, which critics
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: said depicted the President as Jesus. The Vice President dismissed
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: the controversy as a misunderstood joke. I totally think that
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: that is in fact the case. And I have, you know,
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: cousins who are very strong Christians, and I saw their
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: social media feeds and it was not well respected by
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: many people. The President showed discretion by taking it down.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: The Vice President said, the President was posting a joke,
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: and of course he took it down because he recognized
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: a lot of people weren't understanding his humor. In that case,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: the President of the United States likes to mix it
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: up on social media, and I actually think that's one
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: of the good things about this president is that he's
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: not that filtered, said the Vice President. Now, two things
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say about all of this. One, you
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: can say to the President that probably wasn't that wise
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: to do, and still be thankful every day that Kamala
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: Harris is not anywhere near the White House. And I
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: think that's a reasonable position to be in. President Trump,
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: Could you have done without the Jesus meme? Yeah, okay,
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: thank you for taking it down. Appreciate the acknowledgment, but
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: thank you for doing what you're doing as president. Thank
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: you for protecting our daughters in their locker rooms. Thank
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: you for advancing truth, advancing transparency, advancing all the things
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: that you're advancing. Thank you for that. Thank you for
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: getting the border controlled so that now when people come across,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: we do it in an orderly fashion and we have
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: order to it. Thank you for getting drug prices low.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Thank you for Saul having seven wars that were going
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: on on the planet. Thank you for seeing to it
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: that Iran can never kill anybody with a nuclear weapon.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Thank you for making our ally Israel feel respected once again,
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: especially in light of October seventh, and how just cut it.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden was about the whole thing. There's lots of
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: reasons to be thankful that President Trump is the president.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: You don't have to approve of everything that he does.
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: You also don't have to get like torqued out of
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: whack about it either. If you think for a second
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: that him posting a meme that's misunderstood and he takes
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: it down and he's kind of embarrassed by all of it,
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: that that is in any way a substitute for saying, oh,
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: please let us have the cackling cat herder back. No, no, no, no,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: we are good. Thank you for apologizing, thank you for
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: taking it down. Please don't do it again. But we
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: know the President has given us one of the best
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: administrations in the hi history of the nation. In the
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: history of the nation. This administration has been by record
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: amounts more successful than many of the administrations. He's way
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: out doing his first administration, which he had to fight
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: half the time with one end, with one hand, time
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: behind his back because he had cabinet members that were
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: betraying him and doing things disloyal. But we're we're making
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: a difference in the world now. And yeah, the VP
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: is correct, pop Leo. Tell people what they need to
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: know about God. Tell them what they know need to
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: know about Jesus and how is he's the only way
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: to God. Tell them that, pop Leo, that is what
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: you should be doing. Leave the rest of it to
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: the people that God put there. Gavin McCullough coming back.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: Don't go away here he.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Is from New York. Kevin McCullough.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: All right, Kevin McCullough, glad to have you with us. Yesterday.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: I told you it was going into effect, and I
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: think it's a genius move. I'm a little surprised actually
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: that we weren't kind of doing something like it before.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: But the President announced that there's a blockade on Iranian ports.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: Not only are they going to have to force the
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: strait of horm Moves open, but now they're going to
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: not be able to get their goods and stuff out
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: of the country, and they're not going to have stuff
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: coming in. So what does all this mean here to discuss?
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: Former National security advisor to multiple presidents, Former Pentagon official,
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: former I don't know, smartest lady on the planet one
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: of them. At least she's she got my vote for sure.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: Katie McFarland, welcome back. Always good to have you. This
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: really was a like next like forty chess kind of
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: move for him, and I'm sure he already had it
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: in his back pocket when he sent the delegation over
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: the weekend. But what will this essentially do to the
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: U to the Iranian uh you know, Iatolas.
• 52:18
  Speaker 16: So the thing is Iran went to the negotiation over
• 52:20
  Speaker 16: the weekend thinking, Aha, they've really pulled a fast one,
• 52:23
  Speaker 16: that they've closed the straight up her moves, and that
• 52:25
  Speaker 16: will put such political pressure on Trump and on anybody
• 52:29
  Speaker 16: else to open the strait. Because again, yes again, and
• 52:33
  Speaker 16: so you know, check checkmate. So what Trump has done
• 52:38
  Speaker 16: is by putting a blockade around any ships going in
• 52:42
  Speaker 16: and out of Iran. Now I should point out that
• 52:45
  Speaker 16: the blockade isn't for any ship or every ship. It's
• 52:48
  Speaker 16: only the ships going in and out of Iran. So
• 52:51
  Speaker 16: if it's a ship that's coming from Europe that goes
• 52:54
  Speaker 16: through the Mediterranean, through the Suez, through the Persian Gulf,
• 52:57
  Speaker 16: the straight of Her moves to the Gulf of Aman
• 52:59
  Speaker 16: and then out to Asia, that doesn't get stopped. Those
• 53:02
  Speaker 16: have free transit. It's only the ships going to and
• 53:05
  Speaker 16: from and as you just said, which most people have
• 53:07
  Speaker 16: not focused on, it's not just the oil that's going
• 53:11
  Speaker 16: from Iran to the rest, mostly to China, but it's
• 53:15
  Speaker 16: also the goods that are going into Iran. So it's
• 53:17
  Speaker 16: the food, it's it's the consumer goods. So it's going
• 53:20
  Speaker 16: to do a couple of things to the Iranian economy
• 53:22
  Speaker 16: very quickly. It's going to have hyperinflation because there won't
• 53:26
  Speaker 16: be any goods coming in. The Other thing it will
• 53:29
  Speaker 16: do is it'll just decimate Iran's income stream because something
• 53:34
  Speaker 16: like ninety percent of Iran's oil goes out and it
• 53:37
  Speaker 16: goes to China, and that income isn't going to happen.
• 53:41
  Speaker 16: And that income that they get from oil sales, remember
• 53:45
  Speaker 16: these are illegal oil sales, but the income they get
• 53:47
  Speaker 16: from oil sales is probably fifty percent of their national budget.
• 53:53
  Speaker 16: So around is no money coming in. So no money
• 53:55
  Speaker 16: coming in, no money going out. That does terrible damage
• 53:59
  Speaker 16: to their economy immediately. But the other thing it does
• 54:02
  Speaker 16: is it destroys their energy industry if this blockade goes on.
• 54:06
  Speaker 16: Now here's why oil comes out of the ground in Iran,
• 54:09
  Speaker 16: goes in a pipeline to an island, carg island, and
• 54:13
  Speaker 16: from that pipeline the oil gets put onto tankers and
• 54:16
  Speaker 16: then the tankers leave the straight up for moves go
• 54:19
  Speaker 16: on about the world, because there's only about a thirteen
• 54:23
  Speaker 16: day lag time in the amount from going from the
• 54:27
  Speaker 16: ground to getting it in the tanker. If the gas
• 54:30
  Speaker 16: does if the oil doesn't go in the tanker, it
• 54:32
  Speaker 16: blocks up, it blocks up in the pipeline, and then
• 54:34
  Speaker 16: it blocks up and backs up into the ground into
• 54:38
  Speaker 16: where the wells are, and at that point the whales
• 54:41
  Speaker 16: are destroyed.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: You can turn the wells off.
• 54:43
  Speaker 16: But that has a lot of problems associated with it
• 54:46
  Speaker 16: as well. So Iran has a ticking bomb here in
• 54:49
  Speaker 16: the sense of they've got to get this solved quickly
• 54:52
  Speaker 16: because if not, they could destroy their whole energy industry,
• 54:57
  Speaker 16: their whole oil export industry, and it take them a
• 54:59
  Speaker 16: decade to rebuild that. So I think that for them,
• 55:02
  Speaker 16: which the way I like to think about it is
• 55:03
  Speaker 16: like a sink. You've got a sink and it's a
• 55:05
  Speaker 16: clog drain and the water keeps coming out of the faucet.
• 55:08
  Speaker 16: At some point there's a flood. So Iran has a
• 55:12
  Speaker 16: time issue there. But then there's another dimension, which is
• 55:16
  Speaker 16: what again very few people have focused on is the
• 55:19
  Speaker 16: China dimension. China gets some ten to fifteen percent of
• 55:23
  Speaker 16: its energy from these Iranian oil sales. It buys oil
• 55:27
  Speaker 16: from Iran at a deeply discounted price because it's sanctioned oil.
• 55:30
  Speaker 16: Nobody's supposed to buy it. China doesn't garret buys it anyway.
• 55:33
  Speaker 16: And if China loses that, it loses that energy coming
• 55:37
  Speaker 16: into China. Then it stops Chinese manufacturing, it stops Chinese
• 55:43
  Speaker 16: artificial intelligence, quantum computing, all the stuff, the energy that's needed,
• 55:47
  Speaker 16: particularly for the technology. And so China will then pressure
• 55:51
  Speaker 16: Iran to say, cut a deal as fast as you can,
• 55:55
  Speaker 16: because China they don't really care whether Iran has a
• 55:59
  Speaker 16: nuclear weapon or not. What they care about is does
• 56:02
  Speaker 16: Iran have access to cheap oil. And then there's even
• 56:05
  Speaker 16: a third dimension of all, wow, this is such a
• 56:09
  Speaker 16: genius move on President Trump's part. That the thanks dimension
• 56:12
  Speaker 16: is Trump has said, hey, those empty oil tankers, you
• 56:15
  Speaker 16: can't go in and out of Iran. Come on to America,
• 56:18
  Speaker 16: come to the Gulf of America, go to Louisiana, go
• 56:21
  Speaker 16: to Houston. We'll fill up those tankers for you. So
• 56:24
  Speaker 16: it's a whole new line of business for the United States.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: And are those tankers coming to the US yesterday?
• 56:32
  Speaker 16: There are about twelve of them at least that we're
• 56:33
  Speaker 16: headed to the US.
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, Wow, that's crazy. I mean, Kat, you
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: and I are friends. We talk offline someone often and
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: we laugh at things. But Trump has so Underestimating him
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: is always like the fatal flaw of whoever is going
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: up against him in a negotiation. And I think that
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: your point about China with G like he needs this
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: oil worse than Iran needs the money. And they're both
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: pretty dire, but G is because they don't have oil.
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: China doesn't have resources. And so if we're able to
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: you know, marshal that and what can the eye toolas
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: do they don't have. The IRGC is decimated. They don't
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: have a military, they don't have a navy, do they.
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: How do they respond to this?
• 57:26
  Speaker 16: Well, they could always just say, you know, what we
• 57:28
  Speaker 16: want to die is murders and then not cut any
• 57:32
  Speaker 16: kind of a deal. The other thing the IRGC could
• 57:35
  Speaker 16: do and as you point out, their navy has gone here,
• 57:37
  Speaker 16: force has gone here, defense system has gone But what
• 57:39
  Speaker 16: they do have is several hundred several, maybe even a
• 57:42
  Speaker 16: thousand or two thousand little speedboats, and they can swarm
• 57:46
  Speaker 16: a bigger ship. Now if they try to swim, me
• 57:48
  Speaker 16: to shoot them out of the water, but that could
• 57:51
  Speaker 16: cause a you know, it could cause some kind of
• 57:54
  Speaker 16: a problem with opening this straight uPAR moves. The other
• 57:56
  Speaker 16: thing that happened that two American destroyers went through the
• 58:00
  Speaker 16: straight of Hermus yesterday and they didn't get blown up
• 58:03
  Speaker 16: by minds, they didn't get swarm by destroyer by these
• 58:06
  Speaker 16: little speedboats, and so it shows that the straight of
• 58:09
  Speaker 16: Hermons could be opened. That Iran threatened to say, well,
• 58:12
  Speaker 16: we've mined the whole thing, don't you dare come through?
• 58:15
  Speaker 16: And our destroyers just came through, so kind of calling
• 58:18
  Speaker 16: their bluff. Look, this is not for the fainthearted, Kevin.
• 58:21
  Speaker 16: This is going to be bare knuckle negotiations and brinksmanship
• 58:26
  Speaker 16: for the next two or three weeks. But I think
• 58:28
  Speaker 16: it is resolved one way or another. Hopefully this brings
• 58:31
  Speaker 16: around back to the negotiating table and serious about giving
• 58:35
  Speaker 16: up their nuclear part.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: What do you make of Trump Pakistan offering another meeting
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: and Trump saying not not ready for it yet.
• 58:42
  Speaker 16: Yeah, let's just see. I think Trump wants to let
• 58:44
  Speaker 16: them sweat, you know, the whole When we devised this
• 58:47
  Speaker 16: sort of maximum pressure campaign against Iran and North Korea
• 58:50
  Speaker 16: on the first term, we.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: Really worked brilliant will I work brilliantly, and.
• 58:57
  Speaker 16: We realized that you don't just negotiation and then if
• 59:01
  Speaker 16: the negotiations fail, you then maybe have a military or
• 59:05
  Speaker 16: an economic option. You put maximum pressure the whole time,
• 59:08
  Speaker 16: even while you're negotiating, because that's how Iran plays everybody. Yeah,
• 59:13
  Speaker 16: they say, well, if you stop doing this pressure against us,
• 59:17
  Speaker 16: then we'll negotiate. So then you go to the negotiating table,
• 59:20
  Speaker 16: nothing happens, You threaten to put it back on, and
• 59:23
  Speaker 16: around says no, no, no, Let's have another meeting. Let's have another meeting,
• 59:26
  Speaker 16: and then maybe you get a deal with Iran, and
• 59:28
  Speaker 16: then Iron tries to retrade the deal. It's like you know,
• 59:31
  Speaker 16: wash rinse, repeat, and that's their system. But Trump is
• 59:35
  Speaker 16: not going to be bamboozled. And when he said he
• 59:38
  Speaker 16: had an interview with Maria bart our friend Maria bart
• 59:40
  Speaker 16: Aromo on Sunday and he said, look, I know oil
• 59:42
  Speaker 16: prices are going up, I know gasoline prices are going up.
• 59:46
  Speaker 16: Maybe they'll still be up at the time of the election.
• 59:49
  Speaker 16: Does it's okay with me? So, in other words, he
• 59:52
  Speaker 16: is not going to be blackmailed by Iran.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: Final question, and I spoke with former Navy off Sir
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: Mike Garcia at the America First Policies Too yesterday, former
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: super Hornet pilot, and I said, Mike, is part how
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: does how does the the leadership's religious kind of viewpoint
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: on not caring if they if they die, if their
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: whole country dies, because they they they are kind of
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: religious fanatics and they kind of see this as kind
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: of like Allah's great, you know, judgment against the West
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: or whatever. Would they do you think they would allow
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: their millions of people to be crushed if that was
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: if that's what it came to, not caring really about
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: any aspect of those people's lives. And he said, sadly, keV,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: I do think that there's a certain degree of they
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: can't be negotiated with normal in normal fashion because they
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: have that kind of ideology that is so extreme and
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: so utterly untethered to what nor what reality means here
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: on earth. What's your thought on that?
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: Real quick?
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 16: I think he's right, but that but the negotiate with whom,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 16: So maybe there is let's save in this fifty percent
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 16: of them who want to die as martyrs and want
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 16: to have everybody else dies martyrs. There's got to be
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 16: some that are willing to say, hey, wait, I've had enough,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 16: And especially because Trump offers him immediate golden opportunities, So
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 16: we just have to find those people.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: He's he's the He's the king of that for sure. Kat.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much, always so insightful.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 16: Thank you, Kevin.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: You got it. Kevin mccallach, coming, I back up the what.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: Let's stick around for more than Kevin.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: Next here he is from New York, exact Kevin, Kevin.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: McCullough and welcome back to Times Square. It's Kevin McCullough
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: from that Kevin Show. And as we have been telling
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: you for some time, we are in the process of
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: doing something very special. And when I say special, i'm
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: you know, I think of I just I just love
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: the fact that we get to focus on helping children
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: in this in this day and age, particularly in this way,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: particularly these children. You've heard me talking already for some
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: time for some of you, but for others of you
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: that have just started in recent days hearing me. You've
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: heard me talk about the work of Food for the
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: Poor and the children that they reach and the lives
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: that they touch. Well, I'm excited that once again we
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: have the opportunity to actually feed a number of kids
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: for the coming year and to make sure that they
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: have clean drinking water in the days to come. It's
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: a very big lift to try to help seven hundred
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: and twenty children, but that's the list, that's the names,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: that's who we have this year. So I'm going to
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: ask you step into this with us, go on this journey,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: help us reach every one of these children. In just
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: the next few days. Danny Patino is back with us
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: from Food for the Poor and I always love checking
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: in with he and Paul Jacobs and all the gang
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: down at the Florida HQ, which he joins us from
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: via satellite today. Danny, it's great to see you and
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: always fun to talk about what God is doing. But
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: when we're talking about these children in particular, and I've
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: been on some of the trips where Food for the
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: Poor would take us into the less glamorous portions of
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: the Caribbean. Let's put it that way. The countries and
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: the portions of countries that the tourists don't go to.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: None of the brochures advertise. But what you're talking about
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: is gross poverty, real true malnutrition, children that are just
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: aching and hurting on a daily basis to have a
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: little bit of something to eat. So talk to us
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: about what kinds of conditions these kids are living in,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: whether it's s Guatemala or Haiti or wherever, and take
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: us inside their life for a little bit.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 11: Kevin, thanks for having us on today, and thank you
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 11: to your audience for letting us in not only into
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 11: their homes, but also into their heart. And unfortunately, in
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 11: the fifteen countries that Food for the Poor serves, poverty
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 11: really doesn't have a different face. It's almost the same one,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 11: and it is a kid's face, a child's face where
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 11: unfortunately he doesn't know where the next meal is coming from.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 11: And those are the folks that we reach the most.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 11: Those are the folks that pray for a daily meal.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 11: We pray for I pray with my children every morning
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 11: that they have a great day at school, that they
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 11: get to learn everything and then bring it back home
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 11: so they can teach us.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 6: These families are praying for a daily meal.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 11: That's that prayer for that daily bread, and it's to
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 11: get something a little bit different than they had yesterday,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 11: because probably yesterday they only had a handful of rice
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 11: to share amongst four. And most of the families that
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 11: we visited are a little bit more than four people
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 11: living in a small shock. Think about a shed, a
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 11: very shed that's holes in the roof. The dirt that's
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 11: outside is the same dirt that you find inside of
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 11: the home.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 6: Bugs come in and out.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 11: It's not a living condition that you would have for anyone,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 11: let alone a child. And those are the families that
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 11: we reach on a daily basis here at Food for
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 11: the Port and through you the generosity of your listeners,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 11: and that's what we want to reach to today. You
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 11: said there was a number of seven hundred and twenty children,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 11: Well imagine the faces on those seven hundred and twenty
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 11: children when we get to tell them you get to
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 11: eat today, tomorrow, the next day. And it's only for
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 11: a one time gift. A one time gift of one
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 11: hundred and fifty dollars is going to feed two children
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 11: for an entire year.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 6: That's three hundred and.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 11: Sixty five days of relief for a parent I'm a
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 11: parent myself, so a relief on a parent shoulders and
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 11: as well, a child that gets to grow be a
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 11: child not having to go to work with mom or
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 11: dad or having to stay home from school because there's
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 11: not enough money to go around.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I want to point out too that a lot
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: of relief organizations only feed kids once a day, and
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: food for the poor in that one hundred and fifty dollars,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: which is seventy five dollars a child, that child will
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: eat twice a day, and it will be a healthy
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: meal that's good for undernourished kids. It's going to be
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: hind carbohydrates, it's going to be high in protein, usually
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: some form of rice and beans combined. I've been at
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: these centers where we have prepared these meals and dished
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: them out as the kids came through, and I will
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: tell you that the impact that that makes, just giving
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: that child two meals a day for the next year
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: is the difference in them being on death's doorstep now
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: and a year from now being almost as healthy as
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: like any other kid on the planet. Like it really
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: the difference between what it can do for them nutritionally speaking,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: and so friends as you're listening, you may I would
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: want to know for myself, if I'm going to give
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: seventy five dollars, how many meals does that provide. Well,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: think about that three hundred sixty five days, two meals
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: a day. You're talking about just under eight hundred meals
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: for a child that's for the next year. Is not
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: going to go hungry for the next year, is not
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: going to go a day without having something to eat,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: something to help nourish and boost his body with, and
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: for the next ten minutes. I want those of you
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: listening right now who are already inclined to do something
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: about this, we have a matching challenge in the next
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: ten minutes. As many meals as you can provide in
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: the dollars that you give, it's going to be matched
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: meal for meal, child for child. So if you can
• 1:07:33

  Speaker 7: Here he is from New York, Zach Kevin, Kevin McCullough,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 7: Welcome back.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: To Times Square. It's Kevin mccallaugh. Glad to have you
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: with us always, Glad to have Zack Smith join us
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: from the Heritage Foundation. Doing a great job watching the
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court and other legal matters for them as he
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: is gifted to do. And Zach, we've had a I mean,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: I know there's a war on and there's lots of
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: you know, selection years, a lot of stuff going on.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: People may not be paying attention to the Supreme Court
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: docket very closely, But in just the last couple of
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: weeks we have had some blockbusters be heard and we
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: expect some decisions maybe, I guess the first part of
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: the summer on things like the election day, does a day?
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: Does the word day mean day in the constitution? Birthright citizenship,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: and some other things. What are you making of the
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: Court's you know, final kind of run here at all
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: these cases, Well, buckle up.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 9: The decisions are going to come fast and furiously.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 17: And to your point, Kevin, on the election day case,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 17: it can only come from a group of lawyers to
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 17: argue that election day doesn't actually mean a single day.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 17: And so the case you're talking about is a very
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 17: important case. It's Watson versus RNC. It's actually a challenge
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 17: to Mississippi's law which allows for ballots absentee ballots to
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 17: be received and counted for up to five days business
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 17: days after election day itself. And essentially what the RNC,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 17: the Libertarian Party of Mississippi, and several other plaintiffs who
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 17: are challenging that law are arguing is that, look, when
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 17: Congress stepped in and passed a statute as it can
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 17: in certain circumstances and said that there needs to be
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 17: a uniform federal election day where we elect members of Congress,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 17: where we select the electors for the presidential election, that
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 17: that election day means that ballots should be received and
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 17: counted no later than that date. Now, it's it's a
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 17: sad state of affairs that this case had to make
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 17: its way all the way to the US Supreme Court,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 17: But because many states, particularly blue states, allow, in some
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 17: cases weeks after election day for ballots to receive and counted,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 17: this is a very important case that the justices decided.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: What was your read on the way the justices asked
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: and answered and responded to questions that day, To me,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: it felt pretty solid that they are probably going to
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: find in favor of election day meaning day.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 17: Well, I joke my crystal ball as cloudy, Kevin. When
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 17: it comes to reading the tea leaves at the Supreme Court,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 17: it can be hard to tell sometimes which way the
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 17: justices are leaning, but I certainly think at least some
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 17: of the justices are very sympathetic to the challenge and
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 17: the argument that these planets will.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: Bring the word means the word all right, birthright citizenship.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: What's your take on what they had argued in front
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: of them, and don't want to do any kind of
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: handicapping on that.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 17: Yeah, obviously an incredibly consequential decision regardless of what the
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 17: justice is decided. Look, I think it doesn't come as
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 17: a surprise Solicitor General John Sower, who is arguing for
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 17: the government, face to barrage very hostile questions.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 9: From many of the justices.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 17: But the administration's position is well supported, is not a
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 17: frivoless position. There's recently been a number of very respective
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 17: law professors who have come out saying essentially that the
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 17: President is taking the legally correct position in his arguments
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 17: before the Supreme Court. So, look, we'll have to wait
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 17: and see what the justices do. It does seem like
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 17: many of them were hostile to some degree to the
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 17: administration's position. When we talk about birthright citizenship, the key
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 17: phrase is subject to the jurisdiction thereof the Fourteenth Amendment,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 17: says anyone born or naturalized and subject to the jurisdiction
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 17: thereof of the United States shall be a citizen. And
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 17: essentially what the Trump administration has been arguing is that
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 17: that has a very particular meaning. Essentially means that you
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 17: don't owe allegiance to any other sovereign at the time
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 17: you're in the United States. And so that was a
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 17: key comp of this entire argument.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: And this goes back much further than just this modern debate.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, the birthright citizenship issue is how old in
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: terms of the first time it was brought up.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 17: Well, look, this issue over a birthright citizenship. You're hearing
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 17: arguments going back to the English common law before the
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 17: States was even established. But the reason it's coming up
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 17: today is because of the language in the Fourteenth Amendment,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 17: which was adopted in the late eighteen sixties after the
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 17: Civil War, and the historical circumstances. The reason we adopted
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 17: the Fourteenth Amendment, in part was to make sure that
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 17: the recently freed slaves and the children of those individuals
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 17: would become full citizens, they could become full members of
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 17: our political community. The Fourteenth Amendment was designed in part
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 17: to overrule the very bad, very roneous, dread Scott decision
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 17: the Chief Justice Roger Tawny had authored before the Civil War,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 17: essentially saying that black Americans could never become full citizens.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 17: That was obviously wrong, and Congress, the city at the
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 17: time the fourteenth Amendment was ratified, wanted to make clear
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 17: that that decision was wrong and then that was being overruled,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 17: and that everyone, under appropriate circumstances, regardless of race, regardless
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 17: of color, could become full members of our political care
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 17: But it.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: Didn't mean run across the border right before you drop
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: the baby out, correct, And.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 17: That's in part Kevin, because if you come into our
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 17: country illegally, if you're here on only a temporary basis
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 17: to do birth tourism or something of that nature, you're
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 17: not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States in
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 17: the sense that term is used in the fourteenth Amendment.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 9: And that is the key component.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: Is no feel to your allegiance in that kind of scenario.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: And that's the only kind of people, by the way,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: that should be getting citizenship. I don't have a problem
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: with dual citizenship. With a few countries that want to
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: offer it, there's increasingly fewer of them. Along the way.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: But when you're an American citizen, you have to first
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: and foremost say that this is your home and this
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: is who you hold your allegiance to. I just don't
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: think there's any way around that. If you don't have that,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: you don't have a country.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 17: Well, there were some argued earlier in the term that
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 17: the Court hasn't released their decisions on yet. Obviously, there's
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 17: the redistricting case of Louisiana Louisiana versus KLA that could
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 17: have a big impact on the upcoming midterm, certainly on
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 17: the composition of Congress going forward. Then there are a
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 17: couple of important cases involving the president's ability to fire
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 17: and hire whom he pleases to run the federal government.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 17: There's the case of Slaughter versus the Federal Trade Commission. Essentially,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 17: the question being asked is are these alphabet soup agencies
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 17: like the FTC, sec CFTC. Can the president exercise control
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 17: over who sits on those agencies or do they have
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 17: some type of quasi independent status. And then a similar
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 17: question is being asked about the president's ability to fire
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 17: a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. You
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 17: may remember Lisa Cook was a member of the Federal
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 17: Reserve Board of Governors. She was alleged to applied on
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 17: a mortgage application, essentially claiming a second home as a
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 17: primary residence to get a more favorable interest rate.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 9: The President said, that's inappropriate. It is essentially.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 17: Misconduct, misconduct nounfeasance, and so he removed her from office.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 17: And so there was a question whether or not the
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 17: President can impact remove Lisa Cooke from the Federal Reserve
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 17: Board of Governors or cause under the applicable statute.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: And when do you expect decisions to start be handed down?
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 9: Hopefully soon? The Supreme Court has one more round of
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 9: old arguments.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 17: Those will start on April twentieth, and then the Court's
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 17: term ends typically by the end of June. And it's
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 17: typically in mid of a June that you start seeing
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 17: a lot of those really lockbuster decisions coming down.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: And they start coming fast and furious. We'll have a
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: lot to talk about in the early part of the summer.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 9: Zach Smith, thank you, of course, thanks for having me on.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: Kevin mccaullaugh coming back from Times Square, don't go anywhere.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 14: Let's stick around for more of than Kevin Next.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: Sidering it up with a no drink mentow it's said
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: kava show.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back Kevin mccallough. Final a few minutes,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: I talk about the preciency of the guests of this show.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: Just earlier this hour, Katie McFarlane was on with us
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: and she was talking to us about how the layers
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: of what we're doing with the embargo, with the blockade
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: is doing for Iran. Two major developments in the last
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: half hour. One, Iran is begging for another meeting, please,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: oh please, oh please, can we please get another meeting?
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: They sent word through Pakistan and the President's like no,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: I'm good. They're like no, no, no, no, no no, mister President.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: Iran's asking if you can have another meeting. No, no, no,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: We're okay for now, It's all good. Got a little blockade.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: We got to go make sure, you know, playing battleship.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: We got to you know, f F three to see two,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: you know, like you sunk my battleship. But yeah, and
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: now this afternoon, Iran is also just directly saying we
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: would like another We would like another meeting, please, mister president.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: We would very much like to know if we could
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: have fresh talks this week. How crazy is that, one
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: US official told Bill Hemmer on Fox News a little
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: bit earlier today. A lot is happening today and tomorrow.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: We have all the ingredients of a deal, but the
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: deal's not there yet. The official added that President Donald
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: Trump's blockade on Iranian ports has Tehran really fearful and
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: more open now to making a deal, as is evidenced
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: by their coming. And please, please, mister Trump, let's make
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: a deal, please, which I think is this is fantastic.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: It's exactly how it should work now. She also said,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: Kat also said something else that was very precient. She said,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: if you were listening carefully, that China has layers to
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: all of this that they're going to be impacted by.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: And you better believe G is on the phone with
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: the talheads, the ayahalheads and saying, I'm sorry, Iatola's I
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 3: got that wrong, telling the Iyatolas you better get this
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: taken care of. Because Trump is meeting with US Ambassador
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: to China as tensions are flaring ahead of a meeting
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: with mister G. He's set to meet with the US
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: Ambassador to China, David Purdue Tuesday, as the administration prepares
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: for high stake summit between the two presidents in May.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 3: The talks are expected to focus on the escalating tensions
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: in the Middle East, like where China gets its oil
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: and other items. The meeting comes just after the US
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: launched a blockade of the Straight of Hormuz, where China
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: remains the largest buyer of Iranian crew amid the conflict
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: between US, Iran, and Israel. The blockade risks pulling more
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: directly into the conflict, and any effort to enforce it
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: against shipments bound for China could trigger a confrontation between
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: China and the US, which they would be very silly
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: to do. China does not have the capacity at the
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: moment to take on the US, and they actually should be.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: China should be using its powers of persuasion to convince
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: Iran that they need to get to the table and
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 3: get a deal done. That's what they need to do,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 3: but they haven't chosen to do that yet. The Chineseign
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: Ministry spokesperson Gao Jokun said this will only aggravate confrontation,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: escalate tension, undermine the already fragile ceasefire, and further jeopardized
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: safe passage through the strait. It is a dangerous and
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: irresponsible move, eh, says the guy that's having to pay
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: a lot more for the oil that they're going to
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: try to get. Now, get it. You're upset Iron's been
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: dumb about this. They're big Dodo heads about this. But
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: that's just all the more reason why they need to
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: make sure that Iran gets to the table and cuts
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: a real deal, gives up the uranium, lets everybody take
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: it out, leaves the straight open, and lets their people
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: decide who they want to lead them going forward. Kevin McCullough,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: I told you it was a big show. Wow, breaking news,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: all kinds of stuff. Thanks for being
