- 1:32Speaker 2: an amazing day in America, And even from the pinnacle
- 1:37Speaker 2: of the Empire State Building, we're getting preached at from
- 1:42Speaker 2: people that I don't think know what they're talking about. Yeah,
- 1:46Speaker 2: the Empire State Building had two masked people that climbed
- 1:51Speaker 2: all the way to the top and then climbed all
- 1:55Speaker 2: the way up the spire and put up a sign
- 2:00Speaker 2: that read you ready for this, drum roll, super powerful, profound,
- 2:06Speaker 2: this is gonna be the thing that changes the world
- 2:09Speaker 2: because they put it on top of the Empire State Building.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Drum roll please. When the power of love.
- 2:18Speaker 8: Why.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Huey lewis in my head all of a sudden, it's
- 2:23Speaker 2: the power of love. The power of love beats the
- 2:27Speaker 2: love of power. The world knows peace. And the two
- 2:36Speaker 2: people that climbed up there to get it done, they
- 2:39Speaker 2: looked like a couple of Antifa thugs. Like they had
- 2:42Speaker 2: they had like the black leather and then they had
- 2:45Speaker 2: like the black I don't know that some sort of
- 2:47Speaker 2: helmet I guess they put on, uh, And then they
- 2:52Speaker 2: had like black masks. Man, it had to be hot
- 2:54Speaker 2: up there because it's it is not It is not
- 2:57Speaker 2: a pleasant day in New York. It's not a pleasant
- 3:00Speaker 2: week in New York. Uh And someone called me? Who
- 3:05Speaker 2: was it?
- 3:06Speaker 9: Uh?
- 3:06Speaker 2: Well, one of the salespeople, I guess called me earlier
- 3:08Speaker 2: today and said, hey, what's it like in New York?
- 3:10Speaker 2: You don't want to be here right now. It's very hot,
- 3:13Speaker 2: very hot in muggy. But they they chose today to
- 3:17Speaker 2: climb up there and to say, when the power of love,
- 3:24Speaker 2: it's the power of love beats the love of power,
- 3:30Speaker 2: the world knows peace. There you go, friends, you needed
- 3:35Speaker 2: you needed that. You know what's wrong with that? Don't you? Fundamentally?
- 3:38Speaker 2: Do you know why that's a fundamentally false problem? Did
- 3:44Speaker 2: you don't? You don't understand why? That's? Okay? I'll come
- 3:46Speaker 2: back to it. Following a response by the New York
- 3:49Speaker 2: City Police Department, the pair appeared to take down the
- 3:52Speaker 2: banner and climb down to a lower platform. One of
- 3:56Speaker 2: the people then appeared to pull an engagement ring out
- 3:59Speaker 2: of a backpack, get down on one knee and ask
- 4:03Speaker 2: some question. We have no idea what the question was,
- 4:05Speaker 2: because nobody's allowed to be a woman or a man,
- 4:07Speaker 2: and we're not allowed to know what they're doing. It's says, no,
- 4:09Speaker 2: come on, we know what that is. He proposed to her.
- 4:13Speaker 2: I guess it was a her. Maybe it was a hymn.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Maybe it was two hymns. Maybe it was two hers
- 4:18Speaker 2: in New York. It could be anything. I don't know.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Roughly forty police officers remained in front of the building,
- 4:24Speaker 2: others directing traffic around the building. The entrance on Fifth
- 4:28Speaker 2: Avenue between West thirty third and thirty fourth was blocked off.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Pedestrians were seen gathering on every corner surrounding the building,
- 4:36Speaker 2: watching the situation unfold. The LOOKI lowse the LOOKI lous
- 4:40Speaker 2: were out. The lookie lows were like, hey, what's going
- 4:43Speaker 2: on up there? Counting the spire and the antenna, the
- 4:49Speaker 2: skyscraper stands at fourteen fifty four, which is fiddlesticks pittled
- 4:55Speaker 2: nothing when it compares to the Freedom Tower, which is
- 4:58Speaker 2: seventeen seventy six, Thank you very much. The Empire State
- 5:03Speaker 2: Building is currently the fourth tallest building in New York City,
- 5:07Speaker 2: the sixth tallest in the US, and the forty third
- 5:10Speaker 2: tallest in the world. But at one point in time
- 5:13Speaker 2: it was number one in all those categories. You didn't
- 5:16Speaker 2: know that too bad? It was. At one point in
- 5:19Speaker 2: time it was the tallest everywhere but now it's in
- 5:25Speaker 2: forty third place, which is kind of low, Like, that's
- 5:28Speaker 2: kind of that's kind of slipping off the mark there.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Not that you want to slip off the mark when
- 5:33Speaker 2: you're on top of the empire state building. That would
- 5:35Speaker 2: be bad, that would be very, very bad. But there
- 5:39Speaker 2: they are two people climbing to the When the power
- 5:42Speaker 2: of love beats the love of power, the world is
- 5:50Speaker 2: at peace. Friends. Let me let me explain something to
- 5:53Speaker 2: you from a biblical perspective. The world's never going to
- 5:55Speaker 2: be at peace. Do you know that? Do you understand
- 6:01Speaker 2: that as long as sinful humanity live on planet Earth
- 6:09Speaker 2: that there will be no lasting peace. There may be seasons,
- 6:16Speaker 2: there may be ends of wars, but there's almost always
- 6:20Speaker 2: the start of a conflict somewhere. You can temporarily halt
- 6:23Speaker 2: the fighting, but that doesn't bring peace between a husband
- 6:27Speaker 2: and wife, or mother and child, or father and child
- 6:29Speaker 2: that aren't living at peace with one another. Peace is
- 6:33Speaker 2: not about the love of power politically or the power
- 6:37Speaker 2: of love emotionally. A world of peace would look like this.
- 6:44Speaker 2: It would look like someone giving up their life so
- 6:50Speaker 2: that everyone around them would have their life made better.
- 6:55Speaker 2: And that has happened, and he is the Prince of peace.
- 6:59Speaker 2: His name is Jesus, and he overcame all the stuff
- 7:03Speaker 2: that makes the war. But the secret to peace is
- 7:06Speaker 2: not found in the power of love. The secret to
- 7:10Speaker 2: peace is giving your heart to Jesus and saying, Lord,
- 7:15Speaker 2: I can't, but you can, and I'm all yours. Most
- 7:23Speaker 2: peaceful time of my life was when I said those
- 7:26Speaker 2: words as a young child. Second most peaceful time in
- 7:30Speaker 2: my life was when I watched my three children say
- 7:34Speaker 2: that is, they gave their testimony before they were baptized,
- 7:38Speaker 2: all within the last three years. Peace is elusive. It
- 7:42Speaker 2: is hard to hold on to, it is harder to find,
- 7:47Speaker 2: It's almost impossible to ensure. And yet God promises that
- 7:53Speaker 2: through Jesus, at some point in time, in a day
- 7:55Speaker 2: that has yet to occur, the Prince of Peace will
- 7:59Speaker 2: bring peace. And he puts it this way. The lion
- 8:04Speaker 2: will lay down with the lamb. You know what lions
- 8:07Speaker 2: normally do to lambs, They make lunch out of them.
- 8:10Speaker 2: In Jesus' ability and his mindset and his time and
- 8:14Speaker 2: his strength, when the time is right, the lions will
- 8:19Speaker 2: lay down next to the lambs and not want to
- 8:21Speaker 2: eat them. That's what will bring peace. Not climbing us,
- 8:27Speaker 2: not climbing a tower, not proposing on the on the
- 8:31Speaker 2: leveraged shelf of that tower, not doing any of that.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Peace is found in the one who came and gave
- 8:40Speaker 2: his life and said, I love these people more than
- 8:46Speaker 2: I love my own life, and I will give up
- 8:48Speaker 2: my own life so that these people can know me
- 8:54Speaker 2: and have life eternal. That's what peace is. It's an
- 9:00Speaker 2: internal thing, and you don't have to go to the
- 9:04Speaker 2: top of the empire state building to find it. Jesus
- 9:08Speaker 2: gives you the opportunity to, even this minute say to him, Lord,
- 9:12Speaker 2: I'm not capable, but you are. I'm sinful, you're righteous.
- 9:20Speaker 2: I want to follow you. I want to give you
- 9:22Speaker 2: my whole heart forgive my sins and help me do
- 9:27Speaker 2: just that. And if you do that right now, friend,
- 9:30Speaker 2: if you do that right now, your entire eternity will
- 9:33Speaker 2: change because you will be a child of God. You
- 9:38Speaker 2: will be a citizen of Heaven. And now death just
- 9:42Speaker 2: becomes something on the calendar. It's really not that big
- 9:46Speaker 2: of a deal. You've got eternity of peace with Jesus.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Calvin mccallach coming right back down.
- 10:12Speaker 9: Here.
- 10:12Speaker 1: He is from New York. Is that Kevin Kevin McCullough.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Welcome back to that Kevin Show, that kevinshow dot Com.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Happy Happy New Month, Happy July. And we're still celebrating
- 10:27Speaker 2: happy two hundred and fiftieth of our nation's birth and
- 10:31Speaker 2: we're looking forward to a big day on Saturday. But
- 10:34Speaker 2: as we have been working our way through this week,
- 10:37Speaker 2: here in this part of the show where we do
- 10:40Speaker 2: ask the big question every day, how do we live?
- 10:43Speaker 2: And if you listen to this show for any length
- 10:45Speaker 2: of time at all, you hear me say that we
- 10:47Speaker 2: don't ask the big questions nearly enough. Who am I?
- 10:51Speaker 2: Why am I here? What is my purpose? Is there
- 10:55Speaker 2: a God? If there is, what does he seem to
- 10:58Speaker 2: say and indicate is important for me to know? These
- 11:01Speaker 2: are questions that every society throughout all of history used
- 11:04Speaker 2: to ask. In the modern era, we don't really ask
- 11:07Speaker 2: any of them. But the most significant one, I think
- 11:09Speaker 2: for Christ followers is how do we live in light
- 11:12Speaker 2: of where the world and the culture is out? How
- 11:14Speaker 2: do we live on a daily basis? So I'm so
- 11:17Speaker 2: grateful to have great shepherds joining us each week that
- 11:20Speaker 2: pastor churches from one end of the country to the other.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Sam Galucci is the senior pastor lead pastor at a
- 11:27Speaker 2: place called Embraced Church in Oxnard, California. And Sam, we've
- 11:31Speaker 2: been talking about something this week that gets a lot
- 11:34Speaker 2: of people twisted up at not sometimes because they don't
- 11:39Speaker 2: think that the church and public policy and the administration
- 11:44Speaker 2: of justice through the rule of law have anything to
- 11:47Speaker 2: do with Christians. And you've been kind of dismantling that
- 11:49Speaker 2: argument little bit by little bit. But today we're going
- 11:52Speaker 2: to focus on the pastor's role in all of this.
- 11:55Speaker 2: What does the Bible say about them?
- 11:57Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, you know you can find and clear biblical
- 12:01Speaker 5: evidence in Deuteronomy eighteen and also in Second Timothy four.
- 12:07Speaker 5: You know what I would say, Kevin, is that God
- 12:12Speaker 5: expects his church leaders to provide biblical spiritual oversight on
- 12:16Speaker 5: all matters of faith in life, including in the affairs
- 12:20Speaker 5: of government. It's biblical and it is essential for us
- 12:24Speaker 5: to be the salt and light of the.
- 12:26Speaker 2: World, and that is demonstrated best how Yeah.
- 12:31Speaker 5: So when God established a form of government, he divided
- 12:39Speaker 5: kind of a separation of powers. And again yesterday we
- 12:42Speaker 5: talked about how legislation matters to God. Exodus is literally
- 12:49Speaker 5: a legislative body of work.
- 12:51Speaker 8: A legislation matters to God.
- 12:53Speaker 5: And when he establishes this form of government in Deuteronomy
- 12:59Speaker 5: eighteen five, he says, for the Lord your God has
- 13:01Speaker 5: chosen him out of the tribes to stand a minister
- 13:04Speaker 5: in the name of the Lord, him and his sons forever.
- 13:07Speaker 5: He establishes a priesthood right, a levitical priesthood.
- 13:11Speaker 8: And he says, and you will choose them.
- 13:13Speaker 5: And then in verse nine, he says, when you come
- 13:15Speaker 5: into the land which the Lord your God has giving you,
- 13:18Speaker 5: you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. Now,
- 13:23Speaker 5: how do people going into a land God's people follow
- 13:27Speaker 5: the abominations of nations? Through the legislation that is established
- 13:32Speaker 5: that either says it is legal to sin against God,
- 13:36Speaker 5: or that legislation that protects the citizendry in the ways
- 13:43Speaker 5: of God.
- 13:44Speaker 8: It guides them in the ways of God.
- 13:46Speaker 5: And as that's established, and God establishes judges and offices
- 13:51Speaker 5: in the separation of power. When Israel enters their land
- 13:56Speaker 5: as God's people, he establishes the priest Deuteronomy eighteen one
- 14:00Speaker 5: to eight, he establishes the prophets Deuteronomy eighteen fifteen to
- 14:04Speaker 5: twenty two. And the combination of them is the responsibility
- 14:09Speaker 5: for spiritual oversight and divine checks and balanced systems in
- 14:14Speaker 5: society and in governmental society. And when Christ comes, he
- 14:19Speaker 5: gives these two roles to God's church leaders. First two
- 14:24Speaker 5: Timothy four, he says, preach the word right in season, outyssey, rebuke, convins,
- 14:29Speaker 5: exhort with all long suffering. And he says a time
- 14:34Speaker 5: will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, and
- 14:38Speaker 5: they will turn their ears away from the truth. And
- 14:41Speaker 5: this principle of these verses give us a framework from
- 14:47Speaker 5: which we find the role of the pastors in the
- 14:51Speaker 5: affairs of government. It is essential, Kevin. And there are
- 14:57Speaker 5: three major things that God establishes for pastors to do.
- 15:03Speaker 5: Number one, teach God's word as a check and balance
- 15:06Speaker 5: on the alignment of legislation directly to the word of God.
- 15:10Speaker 8: Why because God legislation matters to God.
- 15:15Speaker 5: And number two, encourage encourage the church to vote on matters.
- 15:22Speaker 5: It is an essential part of our responsibility to be
- 15:26Speaker 5: the salt and light of the world. Particularly Matthew five nineteen.
- 15:31Speaker 5: We are to ensure that nations do not set aside
- 15:34Speaker 5: God's command or teach others to do the same. And
- 15:38Speaker 5: number three, the role of the pastor is to identify
- 15:42Speaker 5: leaders directly that form that legislation that either honors God
- 15:46Speaker 5: or mocks him, that either makes it legal to sin
- 15:49Speaker 5: against God or not.
- 15:51Speaker 8: These are the.
- 15:52Speaker 5: Roles that God, I believe, has established the roles of
- 15:56Speaker 5: pastors as the spiritual oversight on matters of all all.
- 16:00Speaker 8: Faith in life, including the affairs of government.
- 16:03Speaker 5: You know, it's it's a powerful thing when you look
- 16:06Speaker 5: when the church formed here, God gives the initial role
- 16:10Speaker 5: to Peter, and you have all these you know, you
- 16:14Speaker 5: have doctors, you have professionals, and here's this fisherman. And
- 16:17Speaker 5: I think the catalyst that really birth the church outside
- 16:22Speaker 5: the walls of the church into society is Acts chapter four,
- 16:27Speaker 5: when when here Peter and John are, you know, they
- 16:31Speaker 5: go to the temple for prayer, and the government officials
- 16:34Speaker 5: of that time, the local government and the pharisees' agencies,
- 16:37Speaker 5: pull them aside and they basically chastise them for teaching
- 16:42Speaker 5: the laws and the ways of Christ right. And there's
- 16:46Speaker 5: this boldness that comes upon them. And that boldness was
- 16:51Speaker 5: was what was needed to to go outside the walls
- 16:55Speaker 5: and start to make disciples of nations. And then later
- 16:58Speaker 5: in Acts chapter four, you see the whole church praise
- 17:01Speaker 5: for that boldness, right, praise for that same boldness to
- 17:05Speaker 5: be a witness. And it's interesting how we have separated
- 17:09Speaker 5: being witnesses from what happens in our governmental affairs. And
- 17:13Speaker 5: you know, Christ is supreme over every area of life
- 17:18Speaker 5: and faith, and we must continue to understand that the
- 17:21Speaker 5: Bible applies for all things regarding faith in life, how
- 17:26Speaker 5: we live, how we manage, how we judge, et cetera.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Well, and in that there has to be consistency, and
- 17:33Speaker 2: there has to be a diligence in terms of defining
- 17:37Speaker 2: and speaking and elevating truth.
- 17:40Speaker 5: That's right, and I truly believe that you know, and
- 17:44Speaker 5: I say this with all respect and reverence for my
- 17:46Speaker 5: brother pastors. We will be held accountable absolutely, and and
- 17:51Speaker 5: that's why Paul says, I charge you therefore before God
- 17:54Speaker 5: and the Lord Jesus, who will judge the living in
- 17:57Speaker 5: the dead, preach the Word in every season, you know,
- 18:03Speaker 5: not just inside the walls of the church. But it
- 18:06Speaker 5: has to be we have this role that is directly
- 18:11Speaker 5: tied to how God had established what he desires for
- 18:16Speaker 5: his priests and his profits in governmental structures.
- 18:19Speaker 8: And this is why the whole Bible tells us and
- 18:22Speaker 8: teaches this.
- 18:23Speaker 5: Yeah, you know that He has a role and he
- 18:26Speaker 5: expects his leaders to step into that role and make
- 18:30Speaker 5: sure we are that.
- 18:31Speaker 8: And that is why, that.
- 18:32Speaker 5: Is why we see so many laws that make it
- 18:37Speaker 5: legal to mock God and sin against him, to kill
- 18:41Speaker 5: babies in the womb.
- 18:42Speaker 8: I mean, that's just child sacrifice.
- 18:44Speaker 5: To allow men to marry men and women to marry women,
- 18:51Speaker 5: right the sanctity of marriage, to to to mock, you know,
- 18:57Speaker 5: the very image and likeness of God with his whole
- 19:00Speaker 5: transgender which is which is which mocks God.
- 19:03Speaker 8: And destroys our children.
- 19:06Speaker 5: And the tulpits are silent on these issues that are
- 19:10Speaker 5: biblical issues, and so many other things that we just
- 19:14Speaker 5: allow in our silence. And exactly, and I think we
- 19:19Speaker 5: will be held accountable. Did we do the things God
- 19:23Speaker 5: called us to do, to to to be watchful in
- 19:27Speaker 5: all things, to endure affliction, to do the work of
- 19:31Speaker 5: an evangelist, to fulfill our ministry with long suffering in
- 19:36Speaker 5: season and out of season, convince, rebuke, exhort on all
- 19:40Speaker 5: matters of faith in life.
- 19:42Speaker 8: That's the charge that God has for his leaders.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Such a powerful, powerful reminder. And Sam, it's been a
- 19:49Speaker 2: great first three days. We get one more day tomorrow
- 19:51Speaker 2: before the holiday on Friday. Real quickly, just ten seconds
- 19:55Speaker 2: if people stop by Embraced Church this weekend in Oxnard.
- 19:58Speaker 2: What are you teaching on this one?
- 20:00Speaker 5: Well, I'm going to actually teach on this on our
- 20:02Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty year anniversary. I'm going to actually
- 20:06Speaker 5: cheach what we're talking about.
- 20:07Speaker 8: In an outline.
- 20:08Speaker 5: I'm going to give my forty five minutes, forty minutes
- 20:13Speaker 5: at the pulpit. I'm going to actually be remind us
- 20:16Speaker 5: of our biblical standing in the genesis of our nation
- 20:21Speaker 5: as a Christian nation. It's so essential, and my message
- 20:26Speaker 5: is going to be that we are the salt in
- 20:29Speaker 5: the light of the world, and two hundred and fifty years,
- 20:32Speaker 5: just to be reminded of that, I think is essential
- 20:35Speaker 5: to fulfill the great commission.
- 20:37Speaker 2: Sure, I think so well. That said Embraced Church in Oxnard, California,
- 20:40Speaker 2: this friend, this weekend. Friends, if you want to be
- 20:43Speaker 2: there on Sunday morning, Sam, we will talk to you tomorrow.

- 21:29Speaker 2: dot com it is. And that little chuckle right there
- 21:33Speaker 2: is from my good friend Harris Faulkner, who I don't know.
- 21:35Speaker 2: I guess I've known her for maybe close to twenty
- 21:38Speaker 2: years now, but.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we were both just such young children.
- 21:42Speaker 2: Well I remember that. I think the very first day
- 21:45Speaker 2: that we met. You were hosting a little thing called
- 21:48Speaker 2: the Strategy Room that was on the fourth floor or
- 21:52Speaker 2: something like that, and someone named Katie McFarland, who's on
- 21:56Speaker 2: my show every week now talking about national affairs, was there.
- 21:59Speaker 2: And it was a around the holidays. We were talking
- 22:02Speaker 2: about turkey prep and I said something about knowing not
- 22:06Speaker 2: to drop a frozen turkey into oil and make it
- 22:08Speaker 2: explode and ruin everybody. And when we went to break,
- 22:11Speaker 2: KT turns around and goes, Kevin How do you know
- 22:14Speaker 2: so much? And that was the beginning of a friendship
- 22:18Speaker 2: that has lasted in multiple ways, not just with KT
- 22:20Speaker 2: but also with you. And congratulations on all your success
- 22:24Speaker 2: in the midday.
- 22:24Speaker 11: You thank you, you too, You look at you.
- 22:27Speaker 2: You just rock the whole midday of the Fox News
- 22:30Speaker 2: Channel and record ratings and record perform and it's all
- 22:33Speaker 2: well earned because you're a great journalist and you're a
- 22:35Speaker 2: great conversation starter. But you're here to celebrate the release
- 22:40Speaker 2: of your book, Faith Still Moves Mountains. It came out
- 22:44Speaker 2: in hardback a while back, it's now and paperback just
- 22:46Speaker 2: released this last week. And Harris, what incredible timing given
- 22:50Speaker 2: the fact that we are at the two hundred and
- 22:53Speaker 2: fiftieth of the greatest experiment that God ever allowed to
- 22:57Speaker 2: take place on planet Earth for the welfare of humanity.
- 23:00Speaker 2: And I'm just curious by her book. It's great. It
- 23:04Speaker 2: wouldn't be in paperback if it wasn't great. You got
- 23:07Speaker 2: to go get a copy.
- 23:08Speaker 3: Cue.
- 23:08Speaker 2: But I want to know Harris Faulkner's thoughts going into
- 23:11Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty and your big military family. I
- 23:15Speaker 2: know a lot of this stuff just courses through your veins.
- 23:18Speaker 12: I just feel incredibly blessed to be born here and
- 23:21Speaker 12: to be born into a country that, Yes, when I
- 23:24Speaker 12: was born, it was still struggling and it always will
- 23:28Speaker 12: because nobody invented perfection for our republic. They invented freedom
- 23:33Speaker 12: and in pursuit of whatever sets our hearts and souls
- 23:36Speaker 12: on fire. And at the heart of that has always
- 23:39Speaker 12: been faith. We are given in alienable rights, We are
- 23:45Speaker 12: loved by a God, and so I have always believed
- 23:50Speaker 12: that we hold a special place and that we have
- 23:52Speaker 12: a responsibility to shepherd all that God has blessed us
- 23:58Speaker 12: with in this nation, shepherd it in ways that continue
- 24:02Speaker 12: to shine a light around the world for people to
- 24:05Speaker 12: see us and say, that's who we want to be,
- 24:08Speaker 12: not looking for perfection, but the pursuit of production. And
- 24:12Speaker 12: I think that we are meeting that. So in this moment,
- 24:15Speaker 12: I'm especially grateful. I'm proud, and I'm excited. No one
- 24:20Speaker 12: can ever convince me that we don't have more to
- 24:23Speaker 12: come than where we've been. We're only two hundred and
- 24:26Speaker 12: fifty and we look good.
- 24:28Speaker 2: No, we do. And I want to know in the
- 24:31Speaker 2: name of the book is faith still moves mountains? Now
- 24:34Speaker 2: in paperback bestseller as a hard copy. Now you've got
- 24:38Speaker 2: to get the paperback, and you can still buy the
- 24:40Speaker 2: you can still buy the E version too, that's always
- 24:42Speaker 2: an option.
- 24:43Speaker 3: Yeah, it's on Audible, It's everywhere.
- 24:45Speaker 2: So I'm guessing that the sultry tones of Harris Faulkner
- 24:49Speaker 2: also read her own script.
- 24:51Speaker 12: So I did that's it with my youngest in the
- 24:54Speaker 12: room with me the entire time looking for snacks.
- 24:56Speaker 2: What did she do? I'll deserve it that punishment, that
- 24:59Speaker 2: is jo.
- 25:01Speaker 3: She loved it. She loved it. So we were in
- 25:03Speaker 3: this tiny studio on the West side of New York.
- 25:05Speaker 2: My kids would my kids would disown me if I
- 25:07Speaker 2: did that to them.
- 25:08Speaker 3: Well, this studio wasn't like ours.
- 25:11Speaker 12: It had like food and snacks and games and stuff
- 25:13Speaker 12: in it because they do a lot of podcasts and
- 25:15Speaker 12: other things there. So I'm sitting there in Danica, who
- 25:19Speaker 12: you know, gymnasts for competitive for ten years now. She
- 25:22Speaker 12: does it for fun, all those those blessings along the
- 25:25Speaker 12: way in victories, and she's like, I still want to tumble,
- 25:28Speaker 12: and she's masterful at it and one of the things
- 25:30Speaker 12: she can do, she's very stretchy, as we say, and
- 25:33Speaker 12: she somehow she was like spidy girl. She could reach
- 25:36Speaker 12: outside the room without me seeing it and come back
- 25:38Speaker 12: with like snack.
- 25:39Speaker 3: I'm like, Danica, where have you been? You never left
- 25:41Speaker 3: a chair?
- 25:42Speaker 12: Well, there's this thing around the corner outside the door.
- 25:45Speaker 12: She had the best time, and she was a good
- 25:48Speaker 12: little editor because she you know, we take a break
- 25:51Speaker 12: every now and then and we're in this little booth
- 25:52Speaker 12: and she'd say, Mommy, I think you should do that
- 25:54Speaker 12: other part over again.
- 25:55Speaker 3: It sparky like you usually do.
- 25:57Speaker 12: And I'm like, you think I sound sparky because you
- 25:59Speaker 12: use don't listen to me.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Where's clean your room, young lady?
- 26:06Speaker 8: Yes?
- 26:06Speaker 3: Or anything else?
- 26:08Speaker 5: Right?
- 26:08Speaker 3: No, it was so good. It was so much fun
- 26:10Speaker 3: to do it.
- 26:11Speaker 12: And that's been one of my favorite journeys along the
- 26:13Speaker 12: way because I feel like I'm having that conversation with people.
- 26:16Speaker 12: But I'll tell you I would never have been. And
- 26:19Speaker 12: Fox does a lot of faithbooks. You and I were
- 26:21Speaker 12: talking before we went to air. There was something about
- 26:24Speaker 12: the message of faith Still moves mountains, based on Matthew
- 26:27Speaker 12: seventeen twenty that mustard seed faith that if you just
- 26:31Speaker 12: lean into God, he leans into you. If you just
- 26:34Speaker 12: hold your faith even when it's hard, even when the
- 26:37Speaker 12: devil has you buy your ear lobe and is working
- 26:40Speaker 12: you even through it all, if you can just say, Lord,
- 26:44Speaker 12: I love you and I believe in you, and it
- 26:46Speaker 12: might not be the time for me to see come
- 26:50Speaker 12: to fruition what I pray for, but I know you
- 26:52Speaker 12: have something great and I can wait on your timing.
- 26:56Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to lean on.
- 26:57Speaker 12: You to do it because this forarticular Christian Harris Faulkner
- 27:01Speaker 12: is not a very patient person, and the Lord knows
- 27:04Speaker 12: that about me, which is why I think he makes me.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Wait extra long so I grow. But I do believe
- 27:10Speaker 3: in it. And so what do I do as a journalist? Yeah,
- 27:12Speaker 3: we could talk about ourselves. We could do that. I
- 27:14Speaker 3: don't want to do that.
- 27:16Speaker 12: I wanted to go out and get stories of other
- 27:18Speaker 12: people and their moments of epiphany, of revelation, of disaster,
- 27:24Speaker 12: of you know, failing health, of all of the things,
- 27:27Speaker 12: of children stuck out in the middle of open water
- 27:30Speaker 12: and there's nothing left to do with pray but pray.
- 27:33Speaker 12: And even those teenagers knew it, even they could figure
- 27:36Speaker 12: it out. I'm talking about other people's stories about miracles,
- 27:40Speaker 12: and so I know wrote about that and the fire
- 27:44Speaker 12: back that I got from people. The conversation has been
- 27:46Speaker 12: the greatest gift that you can imagine.
- 27:49Speaker 3: I mean, a book is usually one direction. You're reading it.
- 27:52Speaker 3: You may have some thoughts that you hear of friends.
- 27:54Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. People have flooded me with their faith.
- 27:58Speaker 9: Walks here he is from New York, exact.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough.
- 28:23Speaker 13: If you just lean into God who leans into you,
- 28:26Speaker 13: if you just hold your faith even when it's hard,
- 28:29Speaker 13: even when the devil has you buy your ear lobe
- 28:32Speaker 13: and is working you even through it all.
- 28:35Speaker 12: If you can just say, Lord, I love you and
- 28:37Speaker 12: I believe in you. And it might not be the
- 28:40Speaker 12: time for me to see come to fruition what I
- 28:44Speaker 12: pray for, but I know you have something great and
- 28:47Speaker 12: I can wait on your timing. I'm going to have
- 28:49Speaker 12: to lean on you to do it because this particular Christian,
- 28:53Speaker 12: Harris Faukner, is not a very patient person. And the
- 28:56Speaker 12: Lord knows that about me, which is why I think
- 28:59Speaker 12: he makes me wait up extra long so I grow.
- 29:02Speaker 3: But I do believe in it.
- 29:03Speaker 12: And so what do I do as a journalist? Yeah,
- 29:06Speaker 12: we could talk about ourselves.
- 29:07Speaker 3: We could do that. I don't want to do that.
- 29:09Speaker 12: I wanted to go out and get stories of other
- 29:11Speaker 12: people and their moments of epiphany, of revelation, of disaster,
- 29:17Speaker 12: of you know, failing health, of all of the things,
- 29:21Speaker 12: of children stuck out in the middle of open water
- 29:23Speaker 12: and there's nothing left to do with prey but pray.
- 29:26Speaker 12: And even those teenagers knew it, even they could figure
- 29:30Speaker 12: it out. I'm talking about other people's stories about miracles,
- 29:33Speaker 12: and so I know wrote about that, and the fire
- 29:38Speaker 12: back that I got from people, the conversation has been
- 29:41Speaker 12: the greatest gift that you can imagine.
- 29:45Speaker 3: I mean, a book is usually one direction. You're reading it.
- 29:48Speaker 3: You may have some thoughts that you share of friends,
- 29:50Speaker 3: blah blah blah.
- 29:51Speaker 12: People have flooded me with their faith walks nice and
- 29:55Speaker 12: I consider that testimony to be the real shining star
- 30:00Speaker 12: for all of us.
- 30:01Speaker 3: We all will be tested. Kevin.
- 30:02Speaker 12: I don't care how much money you have, how many
- 30:05Speaker 12: great moments you have, how many actual mountains you climb
- 30:09Speaker 12: to the top too. Whatever it is you're going to
- 30:11Speaker 12: see some valleys, well, heck, you may even get so
- 30:14Speaker 12: low you can see the place we don't want to go.
- 30:16Speaker 2: I think part of the issue here, my sister, is
- 30:20Speaker 2: that Jesus calls us to not just breathe in and
- 30:25Speaker 2: out and occupy space in this carbon existence for seventy years.
- 30:29Speaker 2: If we are his follower, we should be telling the
- 30:32Speaker 2: stories that you're telling, right, Amen. We should be enthusiastically
- 30:37Speaker 2: talking about what He's done inside of us. And as
- 30:41Speaker 2: we do that, the miracle of miracles is that those
- 30:44Speaker 2: stories do touch other people where they are. You've challenged
- 30:49Speaker 2: many people to take that walk more Seriously, I'm just
- 30:52Speaker 2: grateful that you're on the planet and.
- 30:54Speaker 12: I feel that way about you. And our friendship is
- 30:58Speaker 12: heart to heart. It's also spirit to spirit and it's
- 31:00Speaker 12: through the Lord, and I'm so grateful for it. Thank
- 31:03Speaker 12: you for those words. And I you know, the one
- 31:05Speaker 12: thing is you were talking about, Yeah, don't just occupy space.
- 31:08Speaker 12: When we just occupy space, that's all about the flesh.
- 31:11Speaker 12: And I feel like we're in a moment right now
- 31:14Speaker 12: where some eyes are starting to open and people will
- 31:17Speaker 12: hear on the Falkner focus. Today in our hour, we're
- 31:21Speaker 12: doing a story because this has never happened before, at
- 31:26Speaker 12: least not in the lifetimes of a lot of new worshipers.
- 31:29Speaker 12: So since two thousand and two and you think, oh wow,
- 31:31Speaker 12: that was just a minute ago. No, actually, neither of
- 31:34Speaker 12: my children were born and they're women. Now thirty seven
- 31:39Speaker 12: percent of US adults, this is as of today. Today,
- 31:42Speaker 12: today say religion is gaining influence. That's the highest share
- 31:46Speaker 12: since two thousand and two. We are on, as the
- 31:50Speaker 12: cool kids say, we're on our spiritual come up. And
- 31:52Speaker 12: if that's the case, then we need to start to
- 31:54Speaker 12: tell our stories. So what I'm hoping is that people
- 31:58Speaker 12: will feel a spark in this moment, whether it's you
- 32:01Speaker 12: and me talking, whether it's them reading. Faith still lose mountains,
- 32:05Speaker 12: whatever it takes.
- 32:06Speaker 3: To get there.
- 32:07Speaker 12: Yeah, but then keep the conversation going. And I love
- 32:11Speaker 12: hearing from viewers. You love hearing from your listeners. I
- 32:14Speaker 12: think that we can be one of those incubators if
- 32:17Speaker 12: you will with our shows to keep the conversation going. Now,
- 32:21Speaker 12: people will say, well.
- 32:21Speaker 3: How does faiths fit in with news?
- 32:23Speaker 12: I just told you Gallop and Pew and those they
- 32:26Speaker 12: spend a whole lot of resources trying to figure out
- 32:29Speaker 12: what we want to eat and how we will vote,
- 32:31Speaker 12: and now they are supremely focused on faith because it
- 32:35Speaker 12: is so powerful in people's lives, right, now and they
- 32:38Speaker 12: are dedicating free time. We're seeing that the consumption of
- 32:41Speaker 12: alcohol alcohol go down. Now there is a question, well,
- 32:45Speaker 12: is that because more people are doing marijuana and communities
- 32:48Speaker 12: where they're seeing the dip. The answers, no, I consider
- 32:52Speaker 12: that to be a miracle because look at what we
- 32:55Speaker 12: have faced in the past few years with fentanyl and
- 32:57Speaker 12: everything else.
- 32:58Speaker 3: So I mean, if we can.
- 32:59Speaker 12: Gain traction on one thing, the good Lord says, watch me,
- 33:03Speaker 12: watch me, follow me, we.
- 33:04Speaker 3: Can continue to have success.
- 33:07Speaker 12: And this point of a lack of empathy that we're
- 33:09Speaker 12: in with, I don't want to single out a whole generation,
- 33:12Speaker 12: but let's just say under twenty five that lack of
- 33:14Speaker 12: empathy is what allows people, when someone wins the basketball game,
- 33:18Speaker 12: to tear up their city and to shoot and to
- 33:20Speaker 12: do all of those things. They don't see human beings
- 33:23Speaker 12: as precious and the Lord puts that in us. And
- 33:27Speaker 12: so we have to awaken that in people again because
- 33:30Speaker 12: it's dangerous to live in a society where people don't
- 33:33Speaker 12: value even their own lives. So I think this is
- 33:36Speaker 12: a great moment to have the conversation. It is breaking
- 33:40Speaker 12: news that that many people think, yeah, faith is my focus.
- 33:45Speaker 12: Faith is on the rise, and it's positive. Think about
- 33:48Speaker 12: all the things that catch fire, social media, those things
- 33:51Speaker 12: they were okay in the beginning. Now it's addiction, people
- 33:55Speaker 12: addicted to their phone, so on and so forth.
- 33:57Speaker 3: So if faith can catch fire, yeah, that is that is.
- 34:01Speaker 2: God's answer that right, Faith still moves mountains. Harris Faukner,
- 34:05Speaker 2: The wonder can that owns the mid days of Fox
- 34:08Speaker 2: News Channel. Oh my goodness, don't tell you more money, Harris.
- 34:12Speaker 12: But at the end of the day, at the end
- 34:14Speaker 12: of well, they see the ratings before I do. Every
- 34:16Speaker 12: now and then I'll get an email and I'm like, see,
- 34:18Speaker 12: this is why my team doesn't want me to look
- 34:20Speaker 12: because they're like, yeah, Jin said Harris. Do you want
- 34:24Speaker 12: to say something about you? Kevin been so generous about me.
- 34:29Speaker 12: You shared your burst of success right before we started
- 34:34Speaker 12: talking on the radio here, and to pick up hundreds
- 34:38Speaker 12: of stations, to pick up literally millions of people who
- 34:42Speaker 12: can now hear your show is God's divine appointment for you.
- 34:47Speaker 12: And I'm excited to know you and to call you friend,
- 34:52Speaker 12: you and your family because take your flowers, as my
- 34:57Speaker 12: mom used to say. But I'm gonna I'm going to
- 34:59Speaker 12: say so your family because they're on this journey too.
- 35:02Speaker 12: I mean, you're inspiring the next generation.
- 35:06Speaker 3: So God bless you.
- 35:07Speaker 2: You talk about your going that were that weren't alive
- 35:10Speaker 2: in two thousand and two. My sixteen year old son
- 35:12Speaker 2: is now an inch taller than me, and you know
- 35:14Speaker 2: that I'm six foot two. So oh, this is one
- 35:17Speaker 2: of those things where we're in this moment we're like,
- 35:19Speaker 2: who are these grown people in our houses? Yes?
- 35:22Speaker 3: Oh, but I have a seventeen year.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Old right, No, I can't. We've actually talked about it.
- 35:26Speaker 3: Let's get older.
- 35:27Speaker 2: I don't know. And where did they? Where did they
- 35:29Speaker 2: come from? Like they were just like this little potato
- 35:31Speaker 2: in my arm when I brought them up from the
- 35:32Speaker 2: hospital yesterday. It's crazy, I know.
- 35:35Speaker 12: But we pray a lot so we get a lot
- 35:36Speaker 12: of help raising.
- 35:37Speaker 2: That's that's correct. Hair's Faulkner, appreciate you.
- 35:39Speaker 12: Thank you for the opportunity partnering with Walmart and Sam's
- 35:44Speaker 12: Club because I want the book to be portable and affordable.

- 38:02Speaker 2: it's a very heartwarming story because it kind of tells
- 38:04Speaker 2: the story of Jamie Allen, the man who created the
- 38:07Speaker 2: entire show. It kind of tells his life story and
- 38:11Speaker 2: he started out as a as a magician in his

- 38:32Speaker 2: And then if you have not yet done it, I
- 38:34Speaker 2: want to remind you once again that my good friend
- 38:39Speaker 2: Lou Bassinice, who is one of our financial contributors on Monday,
- 38:43Speaker 2: has a special gift for anybody interested in making money
- 38:46Speaker 2: with their investments. It's a report on the ten Ai
- 38:51Speaker 2: stocks not named in Nvidia that you can still make
- 38:55Speaker 2: a killing on, and there's at least ten of them
- 38:57Speaker 2: that he's identified. He's got a free report for any
- 39:00Speaker 2: that wants a copy of it. All you gotta do
- 39:02Speaker 2: is go to the Big Skinny dot com the Big
- 39:05Speaker 2: Skinny dot Com, and you'll be able to get your
- 39:08Speaker 2: own version of it. There two other sponsors I want
- 39:11Speaker 2: to say thank you for joining us this on this
- 39:13Speaker 2: first day of July as well. DFW Direct Insurance. You're
- 39:17Speaker 2: going to hear my ads about this. They are one
- 39:19Speaker 2: thousand percent true. They saved me and we had a
- 39:22Speaker 2: pretty economical health sharing cost program that we were involved in,
- 39:28Speaker 2: but we were for a family of five. We were
- 39:30Speaker 2: getting to the point because it had continued to go
- 39:33Speaker 2: up and the cost was continuing to get higher. He
- 39:36Speaker 2: saved me four hundred dollars a month. Four hundred dollars
- 39:41Speaker 2: a month is how much Vic at DFW Direct Insurance
- 39:45Speaker 2: saved me on healthcare if you have not called his
- 39:48Speaker 2: cell number, his personal cell number that he gives out
- 39:51Speaker 2: for me to give to you so that you can
- 39:53Speaker 2: call him and start saving money on your health insurance
- 39:56Speaker 2: eight one seven, four four nine fifty five fifty eight
- 40:00Speaker 2: one seven four four nine fifty five fifty seven. But
- 40:03Speaker 2: they saved me four hundred dollars a month. Do you
- 40:06Speaker 2: realize that it's forty eight hundred dollars on the year
- 40:10Speaker 2: that they're saving me. That's like a little getaway trip
- 40:13Speaker 2: from my family when you know in a given year
- 40:15Speaker 2: when we maybe didn't have one. So that's incredible. And then, last,
- 40:19Speaker 2: but not least, the new one that I'm really excited about.
- 40:21Speaker 2: We're gonna talk to them soon is Dominion dot Chat.
- 40:25Speaker 2: AI tools are everywhere. You can't avoid them. They're on
- 40:27Speaker 2: every device that you have, They're on every app on
- 40:29Speaker 2: that device. Dominion dot chat is a Christ centered, God centered,
- 40:36Speaker 2: Bible centered AI complete AI tool. It's like chat GPT,
- 40:42Speaker 2: but it is Godly based and Godly centered. Check it out.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Dominion dot chat is where you find that we'll see
- 40:48Speaker 2: you next time.
- 40:50Speaker 1: The following program is pre recorded somewhere in the bowels.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Of the City that Never Sleep.
- 41:00Speaker 12: Kevin McCullough, radio host with Sailor Medium.
- 41:03Speaker 4: Is a man also not sleeping Mcolor and that guy
- 41:08Speaker 4: would like a word with you.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Many of you know him from a Snooks for damas.
- 41:13Speaker 4: Of course, that Kevin Show is going to be great.
- 41:15Speaker 1: The only thing that could be.
- 41:15Speaker 8: Greater, of course, would be that Donald Show.
- 41:17Speaker 2: We don't have that.
- 41:18Speaker 4: So we have That Kevin.
- 41:19Speaker 7: Show featuring the music of Dick Tunney and the Dream
- 41:24Speaker 7: in Color Orchestra, straight ahead, everything you need to know
- 41:37Speaker 7: about the top headlines of the day and a perspective
- 41:41Speaker 7: that will give you some eternity to it, plus practical
- 41:44Speaker 7: tips for family life, spiritual life.
- 41:48Speaker 2: And good old regular life.
- 41:51Speaker 7: It's Kevin McCullough Monday through Friday on That Kevin Show
- 42:01Speaker 7: and now from the Connors in Sullivan Boadcast Studios. A
- 42:06Speaker 7: man who is not what he wants to be, but
- 42:09Speaker 7: is way grateful that is not who he used to be.
- 42:13Speaker 2: Here, all right, welcome in, Kevin mcconaugh. L have you
- 42:21Speaker 2: with us. We have got a lot to get to
- 42:24Speaker 2: in the coming hour. Yesterday, the Supreme Court did something amazing.
- 42:30Speaker 2: It said, we are not confused about the definition of women.
- 42:35Speaker 2: And even and I gotta, I gotta, I gotta give
- 42:39Speaker 2: my my homegirl a clap of applause here, even Katani
- 42:43Speaker 2: Brown Jackson got it half right. Now she still got
- 42:47Speaker 2: it half wrong, so I guess she could still be
- 42:49Speaker 2: confused somewhat. But she got the least part of it
- 42:51Speaker 2: right because she concurred on half of the ruling and
- 42:57Speaker 2: then she uh, you know, did not go along with
- 43:02Speaker 2: it on the other half of the ruling. She agreed
- 43:05Speaker 2: with part of it and she disagreed with the other
- 43:06Speaker 2: part of it. Her vote ended up being a negative vote,
- 43:10Speaker 2: but she actually agreed with some of the premises. So
- 43:13Speaker 2: I'm gonna give her a little benefit of the doubt there,
- 43:15Speaker 2: because I'm telling you, when she was being you know,
- 43:19Speaker 2: evaluated by the Senate to come be a Supreme Court justice,
- 43:23Speaker 2: a lot of us had I don't know about that one.
- 43:27Speaker 2: She's kind of goofy. She is a woman, and she
- 43:30Speaker 2: does not know how to define a woman that is
- 43:32Speaker 2: that is really strange. But maybe she'll feel like this
- 43:36Speaker 2: Supreme Court gives her a little more cover or I
- 43:38Speaker 2: don't know, here's a radical thought. Maybe she always knew
- 43:41Speaker 2: what a woman was and just did not want to
- 43:43Speaker 2: say because the forces were so intimidating that wanted to
- 43:46Speaker 2: shut her up and make sure she said the right
- 43:47Speaker 2: thing so that things would go along a certain way.
- 43:50Speaker 2: And guess what that facade is done? Well, it is
- 43:54Speaker 2: done in most places now the inner The great challenge
- 43:59Speaker 2: here of Governor Tim Waltz from Minnesota, without question, one
- 44:05Speaker 2: of the most arguably affable, silly contradictory, like a character
- 44:14Speaker 2: from Gilligan's Island, almost as a presidential candidate last you know,
- 44:17Speaker 2: last go around with Kamala Harris. I mean, of course
- 44:20Speaker 2: Kamala Harris was. She had her own comedy act going on.
- 44:25Speaker 2: But then she brings in, you know, tweedled dumb from Minnesota,
- 44:28Speaker 2: and he is he's not Look, he's not fancy. He's
- 44:32Speaker 2: just he's just Tim And that's okay. He doesn't have
- 44:37Speaker 2: to be anybody other than you know what God made him.
- 44:40Speaker 2: But he's not. He's the kind of kid that I'm
- 44:43Speaker 2: pretty sure I always saw going in groups to go
- 44:46Speaker 2: do special things when we were in school together. We
- 44:49Speaker 2: weren't in school together, but when I was of school
- 44:51Speaker 2: age that you know, you always see that that one
- 44:54Speaker 2: group of kids that got to go on like special
- 44:56Speaker 2: field trips, and they were always they were always going
- 44:58Speaker 2: places doing things. And I think that Tim Waltz might
- 45:02Speaker 2: have been part of that group. Anyway, he's facing some
- 45:06Speaker 2: backlash today from Americans on social media because he denounced
- 45:14Speaker 2: the Supreme Court ruling yesterday that finally defined a woman
- 45:19Speaker 2: as a woman. Now, technically it didn't do that. What
- 45:22Speaker 2: it said technically, what the case said was that states
- 45:26Speaker 2: could insist upon only men and women playing in only
- 45:30Speaker 2: men and women's sports, that men should only play with
- 45:35Speaker 2: men and women should only play with women, and that
- 45:38Speaker 2: that at the end of the day, you should not
- 45:41Speaker 2: have men playing with women. It should just be Title
- 45:46Speaker 2: nine on one side and Title X factor UFC on
- 45:51Speaker 2: the other. Like that's I can tell Tanika and Sam
- 45:57Speaker 2: and matter cracking up at this. Anyway, he said, this
- 46:03Speaker 2: is this is special. Little Timmy said, as the Supreme
- 46:07Speaker 2: Court says states can be cruel to trans kids, my
- 46:10Speaker 2: message is clear here in Minnesota, we stand with and
- 46:13Speaker 2: value our trans neighbors in youth, he posted on x
- 46:17Speaker 2: as the Supreme Court was ruling in favor of states
- 46:21Speaker 2: against trans athletes who sued to gain access to girls' sports.
- 46:25Speaker 2: You know what they wanted, this is what they were
- 46:27Speaker 2: suing for. I want to be in the girls' locker rooms.
- 46:31Speaker 2: That is literally what their lawsuit was about. I want
- 46:36Speaker 2: to be in their locker rooms. I want to change
- 46:38Speaker 2: where the girls change. And then I want to go
- 46:41Speaker 2: out on the on the basketball court and beat them
- 46:44Speaker 2: to death, and go out on the track round and
- 46:48Speaker 2: just run their legs off. I just want to I
- 46:51Speaker 2: just want to dominate them in every way possible. I'm
- 46:53Speaker 2: an athlete, hear me, roar, but I want to be
- 46:56Speaker 2: in the locker room where the girls are. You know
- 46:59Speaker 2: that less than sh like, less than one tenth of
- 47:02Speaker 2: one percent of people even identify as trans, and yet
- 47:08Speaker 2: the potential for many, many, many mainstream girls to be injured,
- 47:15Speaker 2: made uncomfortable, et cetera, et cetera. All those all those
- 47:21Speaker 2: girls aren't worth anything, tim and so in your so,
- 47:23Speaker 2: in your state, it's okay for trans kids to be
- 47:26Speaker 2: in the girl's locker rooms making them uncomfortable, or you
- 47:30Speaker 2: just think that the girls are too stupid and they
- 47:31Speaker 2: should just go pound sand because they just have to
- 47:34Speaker 2: have to give with the program. See Tim's special, Tim's
- 47:37Speaker 2: Tim's He's really special. He thinks in very special ways.
- 47:42Speaker 10: Uh.
- 47:42Speaker 2: Senator Julia Coleman, a Minnesota Republican state senator in Minnesota, said,
- 47:48Speaker 2: what's cruel is making a teenage girl, already uncomfortable in
- 47:51Speaker 2: her own skin, change in a locker room next to
- 47:54Speaker 2: a naked boy. See she gets it, Julia gets it.
- 47:59Speaker 2: Since when do we listen to what men have to
- 48:00Speaker 2: say about women? Anyway? Come on, Tim little special. Tim
- 48:05Speaker 2: should not have the right to say anything about what
- 48:09Speaker 2: girls locker room should be. That just shouldn't be his call.
- 48:13Speaker 2: Let's talk to the girls, the girls without the male members,
- 48:17Speaker 2: the real girls, honest girls, curly girls. Let's talk to
- 48:22Speaker 2: the girls. Senator Julia Coleman went on to write, what's
- 48:26Speaker 2: cruel is letting our girls get the blank kicked out
- 48:28Speaker 2: of them by biological males on the lacrosse field or
- 48:32Speaker 2: soccer skiff and lose out on scholarships and more chances
- 48:36Speaker 2: to compete. What's cruel is putting your base above female
- 48:40Speaker 2: safety and opportunities. And see, I think she's even like
- 48:43Speaker 2: Smiley confused there because I don't think the democratic base
- 48:46Speaker 2: I think. Look, you can have Kamala Harris and Tim
- 48:50Speaker 2: Waltz and Special Little you know, Alexandria Casio Cortes. You
- 48:54Speaker 2: can have them all like get together and do speeches
- 48:56Speaker 2: and they'll be like, yeah, we support the trans we did,
- 48:59Speaker 2: but you put their daughter in that locker room, and
- 49:01Speaker 2: all of a sudden, something very different starts to happen.
- 49:05Speaker 2: I'm not sure that kid's really trans. Maybe he should
- 49:08Speaker 2: not be in here. He has an awfully low voice
- 49:12Speaker 2: for a trans kid. I think the average Democrat call
- 49:16Speaker 2: me crazy, call me I call Tim Wall's special, call
- 49:20Speaker 2: me crazy. I'll take it, but we I will guarantee
- 49:26Speaker 2: you that a majority of Democratic voting families across this
- 49:32Speaker 2: country do not want boys in the girls' locker room,
- 49:36Speaker 2: and overwhelming majority. You may have more Democrats that are
- 49:39Speaker 2: for it than Republicans. That might be true, but this
- 49:43Speaker 2: is not a Republicans or evil and we must stop them.
- 49:48Speaker 2: Democratic moment. Tim Waltz, Special, Tim Waltz, Very Special, Tim
- 49:53Speaker 2: walt Good, good jobs, Special Timmy.
- 49:56Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 49:56Speaker 2: I don't think boys should be kicking the blank out
- 49:59Speaker 2: of them in fields of play, and they shouldn't be
- 50:03Speaker 2: forced to endure them changing next to each other. Minnesota
- 50:07Speaker 2: State Patrol Lieutenant John Nagel, running for Congress as a
- 50:10Speaker 2: Republican in Minnesota's fifth said, once again, you disregard the
- 50:14Speaker 2: laws of America. You don't support women's rights, you don't
- 50:17Speaker 2: stand for anything. You're the face of everything that's wrong
- 50:19Speaker 2: with the Democratic Party. He's saying this to Special Tim
- 50:23Speaker 2: and then true North. Legal attorney Renee Carlson posted on
- 50:28Speaker 2: x in response to Special Timmy, which Minnesota girl deserves
- 50:32Speaker 2: to lose her spot on the team because a male
- 50:34Speaker 2: athlete is there. It's not cruelty. It's not cruelty at all.
- 50:38Speaker 2: It is absolutely doing the right thing for every daughter
- 50:43Speaker 2: in America. Coming right back.
- 51:02Speaker 1: Here he is from New York. That Kevin McCullough.
- 51:09Speaker 2: All right, welcome back, Kevin McCullough. You know, on Wednesdays
- 51:12Speaker 2: we like to take a little bit of time to
- 51:15Speaker 2: put the front page down for a second and talk
- 51:17Speaker 2: about aspects of life that we can make healthier, that
- 51:21Speaker 2: we can do better in order to improve our overall
- 51:24Speaker 2: sense of wellness. And in this conversation, week to week,
- 51:27Speaker 2: we may talk to a pediatrician one week, a fitness
- 51:31Speaker 2: expert the next, the nutritionists the next sometimes we even
- 51:34Speaker 2: wander into the very very scientific world and the new
- 51:39Speaker 2: medicines and drugs that are constantly being come up with.
- 51:43Speaker 2: And we've been following a journey over the last couple
- 51:45Speaker 2: of years of some pretty exciting stuff, and my guest
- 51:48Speaker 2: Kwang Doh, has joined us each time we've done this.
- 51:51Speaker 2: He's the CEO of bio v Inc, which is a
- 51:55Speaker 2: clinical stage company developing innovative drug therapies for the treatment
- 51:58Speaker 2: of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and advanced liver disease, and
- 52:04Speaker 2: became highly recommended by none other than Mark Siegel, who
- 52:08Speaker 2: is often on this show as well. Kwang, it's good
- 52:10Speaker 2: to have you back.
- 52:11Speaker 6: Kevin, thank you so much for having me back. It's
- 52:13Speaker 6: a pleasure to be here.
- 52:14Speaker 2: You wanted today to take a look at Parkinson's in
- 52:18Speaker 2: its totality and that involves both motor and non motor symptoms.
- 52:23Speaker 2: What do we know about Parkinson's.
- 52:26Speaker 6: The medical community, the whole world really thinks of Parkinson's
- 52:29Speaker 6: as a disease that's characterized by low dopamine levels in
- 52:33Speaker 6: the brain, which leads to a loss of muscle control.
- 52:38Speaker 6: And we believe that that is part of the answer,
- 52:40Speaker 6: but it's not the total answer because it ignores two
- 52:44Speaker 6: very fundamental aspects of the condition. The first is the
- 52:49Speaker 6: non motor symptoms of Parkinson's, and here what I mean
- 52:53Speaker 6: is sleep disorder mood so anxiety and depression, as well
- 52:58Speaker 6: as cosa of slow and since the reality is that
- 53:02Speaker 6: not much can be done about these symptoms for Parkinson's patients,
- 53:06Speaker 6: clinicians just really ignore it, so that by the time
- 53:09Speaker 6: that somebody is actually diagnosed with the motor symptoms of Parkinson's,
- 53:14Speaker 6: ninety percent of these patients already have been suffering these
- 53:17Speaker 6: non motor symptoms for years. So that's one real issue
- 53:22Speaker 6: that we think needs to be addressed. The second is
- 53:25Speaker 6: that the current approach ignores the underlying metabolic drivers of
- 53:31Speaker 6: the disease. And the way to think about it is this,
- 53:35Speaker 6: every cellinar body, it especially our neurons, need energy and
- 53:39Speaker 6: energy comes in the form of glucose. And when it
- 53:43Speaker 6: comes to glucose regulation, insulin is the key regulator. And
- 53:48Speaker 6: so think of insulin as the key that has to
- 53:52Speaker 6: fit into a lock that's on the surface of every
- 53:55Speaker 6: cellinar body. And when everything is working well, insulin fits
- 53:59Speaker 6: into the lock opens up the door A cell is
- 54:01Speaker 6: then able to absorb the glucose that it needs. But
- 54:06Speaker 6: when you have inflammation, inflammation essentially creates rust on the
- 54:13Speaker 6: lock and as a result, insulin cannot fit into that lock,
- 54:17Speaker 6: and therefore it cannot open up the door to let
- 54:20Speaker 6: glucose in. And then initially cell starts to malfunction and
- 54:24Speaker 6: eventually they start to die. Right, And that's why many
- 54:28Speaker 6: of these CNS diseases are neural degenerative in nature. We
- 54:33Speaker 6: believe it's because of the fact that they are being
- 54:36Speaker 6: starved of energy, so they die over time. So diseases
- 54:40Speaker 6: such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, ALS, and so forth, we believe
- 54:45Speaker 6: all have a metabolic driver to it. So going forward,
- 54:49Speaker 6: we believe that if you're really going to solve Parkinson's,
- 54:53Speaker 6: you need a therapy that will have to address both
- 54:56Speaker 6: the motor and non motor symptoms of the disease, and
- 55:00Speaker 6: you have to address the underlying metabolic driver of the
- 55:03Speaker 6: disease so that you may have a chance of modifying
- 55:06Speaker 6: the pace of progression of that disease. Hopefully that makes sense.
- 55:10Speaker 2: Well on some level, but let's break it down more practically.
- 55:14Speaker 2: What does that require then? Of treatments? I mean, how
- 55:18Speaker 2: do you how do you go about addressing both or
- 55:22Speaker 2: is there even a single treatment that is that is doable.
- 55:27Speaker 6: Well, unfortunately, right now there is no single treatment that
- 55:30Speaker 6: is certainly available, but there are a number of companies
- 55:33Speaker 6: trying to work on treatments that addressed many of these situations,
- 55:38Speaker 6: and bio vs one of them, and our drug candidate,
- 55:41Speaker 6: bio Besi's theorem, has just completed a clinical trial in
- 55:47Speaker 6: Parkinson's disease, completed the patient facing portion of the trial,
- 55:53Speaker 6: and we are now in the study close out process,
- 55:57Speaker 6: whereby we're getting data to be ready to be analyzed,
- 56:00Speaker 6: we're setting out blood samples the lapsed to get the
- 56:04Speaker 6: results back, and so forth. And based on the profile
- 56:07Speaker 6: of the drug, we believe that Bezie's theorem has a
- 56:11Speaker 6: chance of being able to address both motor and non
- 56:15Speaker 6: motor symptoms based upon data we've seen in prior studies
- 56:18Speaker 6: and frankly in things that we see on a blinded
- 56:21Speaker 6: basis in this trial, right so we believe we can
- 56:24Speaker 6: improve on sleep and mood and so forth. And because
- 56:28Speaker 6: of the preclinical studies that we conducted in non human primates,
- 56:34Speaker 6: we saw that in these monkeys, those that were treated
- 56:38Speaker 6: with the drug candidate Besi's theorem experience retaining twice as
- 56:43Speaker 6: many neurons as those that were treated with just levadopa alone,
- 56:48Speaker 6: suggesting that there's a neuroprotective property to the drug, so
- 56:51Speaker 6: the potential to delay or modify the progression of the disease.
- 56:56Speaker 6: So we're very excited to see the study, the results
- 56:59Speaker 6: of study, which we hope to have available by early
- 57:04Speaker 6: August or so of this year. We may not have
- 57:06Speaker 6: all of the results at this point in time. We're
- 57:08Speaker 6: not going to have be able to show cogniti us
- 57:11Speaker 6: disease modification, but this trial will essentially get us the
- 57:15Speaker 6: data that we need to go and conduct a much
- 57:19Speaker 6: larger Phase three trial to confirm and essentially go and
- 57:23Speaker 6: try to get approval for the drug to do.
- 57:25Speaker 2: The thing is that the final stage of trials before
- 57:28Speaker 2: the approval is granted.
- 57:31Speaker 1: That's correct.
- 57:32Speaker 6: Phase three is the final stage, right. We are now
- 57:34Speaker 6: finishing at phase two and we hope to initiate the
- 57:37Speaker 6: Phase three sometime next year and hopefully, if everything goes well,
- 57:41Speaker 6: this drug could be on the market within three years.
- 57:44Speaker 2: So if the drug works as you're hoping and as
- 57:48Speaker 2: you're right now studying to see if it in fact does,
- 57:52Speaker 2: how would it substantially and practically differ for someone listening
- 57:57Speaker 2: right now who has a relative who has parkins and
- 58:01Speaker 2: has had all the heartache of watching their relative, you know,
- 58:07Speaker 2: disintegrade in front of their eyes in many ways? How
- 58:10Speaker 2: does this How does this function differently in the body
- 58:14Speaker 2: compared to the medications that have been on the.
- 58:17Speaker 6: Market for the past fifty something years. The way that
- 58:20Speaker 6: we treat Parkinson's is to give a drug called lev dopa, right,
- 58:25Speaker 6: which essentially enhances the dopamine level in the brain to
- 58:29Speaker 6: help restore muscle control. Now, Levadopa is a terrific drug
- 58:35Speaker 6: in restoring muscle control, right. That's why it remains the
- 58:38Speaker 6: standard of care five decades after it was introduced. But
- 58:41Speaker 6: it does have limitations, one of which is that it
- 58:44Speaker 6: has a short half life, which means patients have to
- 58:47Speaker 6: take three, four or five times a day, which could
- 58:51Speaker 6: become problematic overnight as you sleep, because as you sleep,
- 58:54Speaker 6: the drug wears off such that when you wake up
- 58:57Speaker 6: in the morning, you can't move, can't get out of bed.
- 59:01Speaker 6: So this is part of the reason why Parkinson's patients
- 59:03Speaker 6: do not like to schedule anything. First thing in the morning,
- 59:06Speaker 6: because when they wake up, they have to take the
- 59:08Speaker 6: morning medications and wait about an hour before they could
- 59:11Speaker 6: actually even get out of bed. So that's one problem,
- 59:14Speaker 6: but perhaps the bigger problem with lev doopa is that
- 59:18Speaker 6: it's purely symptomatic treatment. It helps restore muscle control, as
- 59:23Speaker 6: Parkinson's is a neuro degenerative disease. The longer you have
- 59:27Speaker 6: the disease, frankly, more and more neurons die and you
- 59:31Speaker 6: have to take higher and higher doses of levedopa to
- 59:35Speaker 6: essentially just restore that muscle control. But therein lies the problem.
- 59:39Speaker 6: As you get into higher doses of levedopa, it causes
- 59:42Speaker 6: something called levedopa induced diyscnesia, which is the uncontrollable jerky
- 59:48Speaker 6: movement that you see Parkinson's patients have. And when you
- 59:52Speaker 6: have to discnesia, all you can do is cut back
- 59:56Speaker 6: under dose wait for it to pass. And but as
- 1:00:01Speaker 6: you cut back on the dose, you loose muscle control.
- 1:00:04Speaker 6: You're rigid, you can't move. So it's a terrible situation
- 1:00:07Speaker 6: that parking suspensions face, and it's a situation that we
- 1:00:10Speaker 6: believe Bezi's term can address because it works through a
- 1:00:13Speaker 6: completely different mechanism of action.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: Yeah, explain explain how it does.
- 1:00:18Speaker 6: So, what bezi Sturm does is that it helps block inflammation.
- 1:00:23Speaker 6: And so remember I said earlier that inflammation acts as
- 1:00:26Speaker 6: a rust on the lock, and by blocking inflammation, we
- 1:00:30Speaker 6: are reversing. We believe that the drug is reversing insulin
- 1:00:34Speaker 6: resistance and therefore insulin becomes more active, more available, more
- 1:00:41Speaker 6: glucose becomes available to cells, the neuron cells, and with
- 1:00:46Speaker 6: this the body is able to use whatever dopamine that's
- 1:00:50Speaker 6: there to restore muscle control. And most importantly, by restoring
- 1:00:55Speaker 6: by making oxygen and glucose more available to neurons, we
- 1:00:59Speaker 6: believe belief that it's actually helping to keep those neurons
- 1:01:03Speaker 6: alive for a longer period of time. And that's what
- 1:01:06Speaker 6: our future trial will aim to show, is that we
- 1:01:09Speaker 6: can help modify the good progression of disease by essentially
- 1:01:13Speaker 6: keeping more neurons alive for a longer period of time.
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: It's the difference in symptomatic relief and addressing the cause.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: Kwango is my guest. He is the CEO of bio
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: v which is the company that is producing this drug.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: We've been watching this journey for the last three years
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: or so and it's been exciting. And if you have
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: someone who you love who has Parkinson's, this is a
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: great interest to you. So stick right here, will be
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: right back.
- 1:01:41Speaker 16: Stick around for more of that, Kevin next time here
- 1:02:02Speaker 16: he is from New York. That Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: All right, great to have you back, Kevin mccallaugh, glad
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: to be with you. We are taking a look at
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: wellness and one of the probably most heartbreaking end of
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: life diseases that has dramatically impacted a lot of families
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: that I know personally has been Parkinson's, and it's on
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: set and what it does to the person that has it,
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: and what it kind of does for the people that
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: are around that person. It's a it's a tough situation.
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: It's a hard situation. And Kwangdo, chief executive officer of
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: bio v also the president, has been working with innovative
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: drug therapies for neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and advanced liver
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: disease for quite a while. But this is this is
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: a this is an incredible breakthrough if it will work
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: in a drug called Bessie Sterham that his company is
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: helping to produce and Kwang before the break. You described
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: levedopa and the things that are available out there. Now
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: it's really being kind of symptom correction and symptom control,
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: but it doesn't address the underlying cause that creates those
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: symptoms to begin with. And fundamentally, you're saying that Bessie
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: Sterham addresses the cause, not just the symptoms.
- 1:03:31Speaker 6: Well, what I'm saying is that we hope to show
- 1:03:34Speaker 6: that Bessie there through to our future clinical trial can
- 1:03:38Speaker 6: modify the progression of the disease. There is no data
- 1:03:43Speaker 6: or evidence out there to suggest that we can help
- 1:03:46Speaker 6: regrow neurons.
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: Okay, no regenerative possibility, but a drastic slowing of the
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: damage is what is what it's doing.
- 1:03:55Speaker 6: That's what we're hoping to be able to show and
- 1:03:57Speaker 6: what let me share what we do know. We do
- 1:04:00Speaker 6: know that from our work in non human primates, when
- 1:04:04Speaker 6: we gave non monkeys the combination of bezi'sterum and levdopa
- 1:04:11Speaker 6: and compare them to those who gave if were given
- 1:04:14Speaker 6: just levedopa alone, at the end of life, when we
- 1:04:17Speaker 6: looked at their brains, those that were given the combination
- 1:04:21Speaker 6: retained twice as many neurons as those that were given
- 1:04:25Speaker 6: just levedopa alone, suggesting that bezisterm has a neuroprotective property,
- 1:04:31Speaker 6: which to us is not surprising because we believe that
- 1:04:36Speaker 6: bezi'sterm reversus insulin resistance. That means that there's more glucose
- 1:04:41Speaker 6: that's going to be available to neurons. We also know
- 1:04:44Speaker 6: that bezisturm enhances blood flow to the brain, which means
- 1:04:48Speaker 6: there's going to be more oxygen available to neurons. So
- 1:04:51Speaker 6: when you have more glucose and oxygen, that only bodes
- 1:04:54Speaker 6: well for better neuronal health. So, based upon that information,
- 1:04:58Speaker 6: we went into the cl and conducted a trial with
- 1:05:03Speaker 6: forty moderate to severe Parkinson's patients. Right, and frankly, we
- 1:05:08Speaker 6: replicated in humans the study that we did with the
- 1:05:12Speaker 6: non human primates, and frankly, we found exactly the same thing. Well,
- 1:05:17Speaker 6: that were given combination had greater muscle control than those
- 1:05:23Speaker 6: that were given just levedopa alone. And interestingly, we found
- 1:05:28Speaker 6: that roughly one third of those that were given the
- 1:05:31Speaker 6: combination were able to have muscle control in the morning,
- 1:05:36Speaker 6: they could get out of bed, whereas none of those
- 1:05:39Speaker 6: that were given just levdopa could do so. Right, addressing
- 1:05:43Speaker 6: one of those shortcomings I mentioned earlier about levedupa.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: Right, right, right well, and lev doopa. I've had a
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: couple of friends who have been on it. It has
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: a certain degree of time that it works, but at
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: one point it ceases to work anymore. Is that correct?
- 1:06:02Speaker 6: That's correct? Like I said, levadopa is a great drug
- 1:06:06Speaker 6: right in helping restore muscle control. But since Parkinson's is
- 1:06:10Speaker 6: neuro degenerative in nature, the longer you have the disease,
- 1:06:16Speaker 6: more and more neurons would have died. So what you
- 1:06:19Speaker 6: have to do is to increase your dose of levadopa
- 1:06:22Speaker 6: to try to get back that muscle control, right. And
- 1:06:26Speaker 6: so that's part of what you're seeing is that it's
- 1:06:28Speaker 6: not only that the drug stops working. It's just there
- 1:06:31Speaker 6: are just fewer neurons that can be responding to be
- 1:06:34Speaker 6: able to respond to the drug, right. And as you
- 1:06:37Speaker 6: get into higher doses, you also have the problem dyscnesia.
- 1:06:40Speaker 6: So levedopa has a great place and a great role
- 1:06:44Speaker 6: in helping Parkinson's, but we also need additional tools to
- 1:06:48Speaker 6: really help the patients to really improve their life.
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: Right, So what's the timeline from here until it becomes
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: broadly available? I think you mentioned three years, but you've
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: got to go through the Stage three trial and then
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: the application process. What's all entailed in that.
- 1:07:03Speaker 6: If everything goes well, we will be able to get
- 1:07:06Speaker 6: the data from our current phase two trial announced by
- 1:07:11Speaker 6: sometime in the eighty in the August time frame. And
- 1:07:15Speaker 6: the thing that we have no control over here is
- 1:07:17Speaker 6: how long it gets to get the results back from
- 1:07:20Speaker 6: our labs, right, and who knows how long that will take,
- 1:07:24Speaker 6: And if we go by what they tell us, we
- 1:07:26Speaker 6: hope to have data results by August if the results
- 1:07:30Speaker 6: are positive, and the whole point of this trial is
- 1:07:34Speaker 6: to give us two pieces of data. One is the
- 1:07:37Speaker 6: magnitude of the therapeutic impact the drug has, and the
- 1:07:42Speaker 6: second is a statistical variability with around that impact. So
- 1:07:48Speaker 6: if not two pieces of data, we would then be
- 1:07:50Speaker 6: able to go and determine the size of the Phase
- 1:07:53Speaker 6: three trial that we would need to conduct to register
- 1:07:57Speaker 6: the drug, right, and we would hope to have that
- 1:08:01Speaker 6: Phase three trials started sometime next year. That trial will
- 1:08:06Speaker 6: likely run for about a year until we get the
- 1:08:08Speaker 6: first point of data, and with that first point of data,
- 1:08:11Speaker 6: we would be able to try to get approval. And
- 1:08:14Speaker 6: if everything goes according to plan, that approval submission could
- 1:08:18Speaker 6: happen as quickly as three years from now.
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: Wow, that would be and if it works as well
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: as it has thus far, that could be tremendously good
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: news for families and for people who are struggling with
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: Parkinson's quong. I always appreciate everything that you're doing. Thank
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: you for coming back and keeping us up to date,
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: and we'll talk to you again soon.
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: Thank you, Kevin, you got it.
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: Thank Kevin mccallough coming from Times Square to you stay here.
- 1:09:02Speaker 9: Here.
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: He is from New York that Kevin. Kevin McCullough.
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: Welcome back, Kevin mccallaugh. Glad to have you with us
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: Times Square. Yeah, we're not in Times Square today. We
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: were this week because it's America two fifty and next
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: week we've got the big July fourth. It's just going
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: to get better and better as we go along here
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: for a little while, celebrating our country and all the
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: freedoms that we have. Doctor Laura Purty is back with us.
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: Swell Medical is her organization, and doctor Purdy before we
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: get to our next topic, we've just entered into a
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: partnership where you're going to be a sponsor of the show,
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: and I'm gonna be telling people about the great things
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: that Swell Medical is doing, but as a kind of
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: welcome to that relationship, tell us a little bit about
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: what Swell Medical is.
- 1:09:54Speaker 17: I would love to Kevin, and thank you so much
- 1:09:57Speaker 17: for allowing us to partner with you. It's been a
- 1:09:58Speaker 17: great few years getting to know you, and I mean
- 1:10:01Speaker 17: maybe even five years, so I'm very excited to get
- 1:10:04Speaker 17: to do this. The current version of Swell Medical, this
- 1:10:08Speaker 17: is a national virtual primary care clinic and we've been
- 1:10:11Speaker 17: around since twenty twenty and we have patients in all
- 1:10:15Speaker 17: fifty states. We have doctors nurse practitioners that practice in
- 1:10:19Speaker 17: all fifty states, and we are a virtual primary care clinic.
- 1:10:22Speaker 11: And we're cash pay, one hundred percent cash pay.
- 1:10:24Speaker 17: There's no insurance, no government insurance, no private insurance. It
- 1:10:27Speaker 17: is one hundred percent cash pay across the board. And
- 1:10:30Speaker 17: we do everything for all ages that you can safely
- 1:10:33Speaker 17: do over telemedicine, urgent care, med refills, pediatric assessments, if
- 1:10:38Speaker 17: your kids need something of chronic disease management. We do
- 1:10:41Speaker 17: mental health, behavioral health. Of course, we do wet loss, hormones, peptides,
- 1:10:45Speaker 17: all on the cash pay basis.
- 1:10:46Speaker 11: We have a new Facebook group that people.
- 1:10:48Speaker 17: Are really enjoying getting to interact with each other in
- 1:10:51Speaker 17: a community fashion. And we have a brand new technology
- 1:10:54Speaker 17: system that's much more useful than it used to be.
- 1:10:56Speaker 17: So we're excited to advertise our virtual primary care clinic.
- 1:11:01Speaker 11: And I'll tell you something else that's coming down the
- 1:11:03Speaker 11: pipe this fall.
- 1:11:04Speaker 17: We're building something that doesn't exist, which is a national
- 1:11:08Speaker 17: network of direct primary care, direct cash pay subspecialist and
- 1:11:14Speaker 17: cash pay imaging centers all across the country.
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:11:17Speaker 11: So yeah, I'm really excited about.
- 1:11:21Speaker 17: For anything. Yes, for all those things. So if you
- 1:11:23Speaker 17: come into our virtual imagine I'm your virtual PCP and
- 1:11:26Speaker 17: you live in the state of New York, because you do,
- 1:11:29Speaker 17: and you say, you know what, it's been.
- 1:11:31Speaker 11: A long time since I've had my.
- 1:11:35Speaker 17: You know, physical exam, but I don't want to use
- 1:11:37Speaker 17: insurance for it because my deductible's really high.
- 1:11:39Speaker 11: Is there some sort of.
- 1:11:40Speaker 17: A cash pay place I can go get it done
- 1:11:42Speaker 17: because I know they'll take an hour with me, everything
- 1:11:44Speaker 17: will be included, and it's only going to cost the
- 1:11:46Speaker 17: couple Warner bucks, and I can use my deductible. We're
- 1:11:49Speaker 17: going to have a directory that we can send you
- 1:11:52Speaker 17: to and you could just go get it done.
- 1:11:54Speaker 11: That very excited about that.
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: That is very exciting and we'll talk more about that
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: in the days to come. What's the web site? How
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: do people sign up?
- 1:12:02Speaker 11: Swellcare dot health?
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: This is coming dot H E A L T H
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: swear swellcare dot health, Swellcare dot health and you'll be
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: hearing more about it. Go ahead, I interrupted you.
- 1:12:14Speaker 11: Oh what was I saying?
- 1:12:16Speaker 17: Uh, it's free to sign up, It's free to sign up,
- 1:12:18Speaker 17: it's free to chat, and you can sign up through
- 1:12:20Speaker 17: swellcare dot health and we would love to take care
- 1:12:23Speaker 17: of you.
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: And I'm just going to say this upfront. Doctor Laura
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: has been my doctor, so I've used I've used the technology,
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: and I strongly believe in what they do. That's why
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: a long time ago I asked her to come be
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: a sponsor, because I believe in what they do. And
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: now we get to finally do this and I'm really
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: excited about it. Speaking of peptides, you just mentioned it.
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: Doctor Ray Solano has been with us from pd pd
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: X I'm sorry, p d r X lat pd Labs
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: r X, who also sponsors the show and We've been
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: talking about how there's the potential that some of the
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: access to them may be going away sometime soon. But
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: this is something that people really care about, these peptides
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: and these versions of the drugs that have become so popular.
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: What's going on, what's the latest with that.
- 1:13:18Speaker 11: I mean, the peptides are not bad.
- 1:13:19Speaker 17: First of all, the GLP one boom, when everybody flocks
- 1:13:23Speaker 17: to the industry to try to get glps in telemedicine,
- 1:13:27Speaker 17: a lot of bad actors entered the industry. We call
- 1:13:30Speaker 17: them gray market, so it means that they are not
- 1:13:33Speaker 17: sourced ingredients that are safe. They're not pharmacies that are safe,
- 1:13:37Speaker 17: that are compounding these medications in a way that actually
- 1:13:40Speaker 17: isn't going to harm people or doesn't come from another country.
- 1:13:43Speaker 17: We can't verify the cleanliness or the potency or to
- 1:13:46Speaker 17: the sterility of the medication. And so now that peptides
- 1:13:49Speaker 17: are becoming more popular, people are buying them anywhere that
- 1:13:52Speaker 17: they can. They're buying them on TikTok, they're buying them
- 1:13:54Speaker 17: from overseas.
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: Really dangerous.
- 1:13:57Speaker 11: It is really dangerous, and I wish people would stop
- 1:13:59Speaker 11: doing it.
- 1:14:00Speaker 17: But because everyone is doing it, that's what they say,
- 1:14:04Speaker 17: everybody's doing it.
- 1:14:05Speaker 11: Millions of people.
- 1:14:06Speaker 17: Across the country are buying peptides, not from doctors with
- 1:14:10Speaker 17: no prescriptions, from pharmacies that we don't know the safety of.
- 1:14:14Speaker 17: Some of the pharmacies are actually so shady that they
- 1:14:17Speaker 17: won't put the drug names on their website. They actually
- 1:14:20Speaker 17: only put the first name of the compounds on their website,
- 1:14:24Speaker 17: so they can't be searched or found. And I'm scared
- 1:14:28Speaker 17: for the American people who've been socialized to think this
- 1:14:31Speaker 17: stuff's okay. They think it's safe because everyone else is
- 1:14:34Speaker 17: doing it, as they say, even though everyone else is
- 1:14:37Speaker 17: not doing it, but there's a perception that they are,
- 1:14:39Speaker 17: and it's very dangerous.
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: Yeah, well, what can be done to regulate this? Is
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: there anything that can be done to regulate this?
- 1:14:48Speaker 11: Well, it's already starting.
- 1:14:50Speaker 17: If you just Google, go to the to the internet
- 1:14:52Speaker 17: and start looking up you know, peptide felony or peptide crime.
- 1:14:57Speaker 11: Peptide.
- 1:15:00Speaker 17: Lawsuit right our investigation, and you'll find all across the
- 1:15:04Speaker 17: country where doctors, labs, non licensed medical professionals, nurses, they're
- 1:15:10Speaker 17: getting felony convictions. Find hundreds of thousands of dollars and
- 1:15:14Speaker 17: in some instances of getting arrested on the spot and
- 1:15:17Speaker 17: going to prison for doing exactly that. And even still
- 1:15:21Speaker 17: when the public hears that, they say, oh, it's the
- 1:15:24Speaker 17: government's fault. They're just busting down on these people because
- 1:15:27Speaker 17: they don't want us to have peptides. And I want
- 1:15:29Speaker 17: you to understand that that's not the case. They are
- 1:15:32Speaker 17: taking people out of the marketplace who.
- 1:15:34Speaker 11: Are selling them criminally.
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and so to that point, and I want
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: to end on this point. This is why, friends, you know,
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: I tell you all the time. I believe in every
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: one of the sponsors it's on the show. I have
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: the ability to pick and choose who we associate with.
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: And when it comes to telemedicine, doctor Laura Perdi and
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: her team are at the top level of what I recommend.
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: And when it comes to compound pharmacies, pd Labs RX
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: top level of compound pharmacies in the country. This is
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: why I want to be a reliable source of information
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: for you to have better options and better choices, and
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: you can trust these people that I have with us
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: on Wednesdays, Doctor Laura, we've run out of time. Thank
