00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:03.279
Are you ready. Yeah, Okay, let's do it.

2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:07.440
Bill Martinez Live a program about current events.

3
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.160
Our culture, our values, our politics, and our future.

4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.640
And now Bill Martinez.

5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.000
Well, good morning, six minutes after the top of the hour.

6
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.000
Right now, Bill Martinez here with doctor George Barnett, the

7
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.640
director of research at Arizona Christian University's Cultural Research Center

8
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:28.559
and author of Raising Spiritual Champions. Hey, doctor George, Happy

9
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.760
Father's Day, belatedly.

10
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:32.640
Brother Bill, good to see again. I hope you had

11
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:33.280
a good one.

12
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.520
Yeah, it was a good one. It was nice and peaceful,

13
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.479
just the way we like to have it. And you know,

14
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:41.960
because we had to not look at what's happening in

15
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.359
our country. You know, I had to just kind of

16
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.079
take a breather because I've been increasingly concerned. And the

17
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:49.840
evidence that you've got to share with us tells me

18
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.079
that my concern is not without justification.

19
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.719
It's well founded. I mean, the new survey, we're looking

20
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:02.479
at people's beliefs about humanity, you know, the natural, and

21
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.079
then we also compare that to their beliefs about the supernatural,

22
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.599
looking at God and different spirits and so forth, and

23
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.680
it's not a pretty picture. I mean, the belief in

24
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.480
the God of the Bible continues to drop. We're about

25
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.120
half the country being there. Now when we look at

26
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.159
what we think about humanity, we don't have the same

27
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.480
picture of humanity that God does, that's for sure. Yeah.

28
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.400
So we went through seven questions in each of those areas,

29
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.200
the natural and supernatural, found that, by and large, in

30
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.040
only one case for the natural and in one case

31
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.200
out of the seven for the supernatural, do people have

32
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:46.959
a Biblical perspective on those issues. So it's getting worse.

33
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.359
And when we looked at it generationally, continuing the pattern

34
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.239
we've been seen for years. Now, the younger you get,

35
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.719
the less likely they are to have a Biblical perspective

36
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.599
on almost no matter what topic you're talking about. So

37
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.560
that's disturbing. But we're even finding that the group that

38
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:10.479
pastors called the backbone of the local church, theologically identified

39
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.000
born again Christians, even that group is loosening their grip

40
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.080
on biblical perspectives and they're more likely now to be

41
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.479
taking on worldly perspectives, you know. I mean, we're at

42
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.479
a place where where three out of four of the

43
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.680
theologically identified born against say that people are basically good,

44
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.240
which of course is a complete misunderstanding of scripture, which no, no, no, no, no,

45
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.639
your sinners, that's why Jesus had to die because you're

46
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.719
not good. If you were good, you could save yourself.

47
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:42.719
You're not so good. Get over it.

48
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.159
Yeah, and Jesus wouldn't have had to go through all

49
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:47.000
that he went through.

50
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:47.360
Right o.

51
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:47.759
Man.

52
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:53.800
Yeah, painful stuff, illegal stuff, murderous stuff. I mean, no

53
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:55.439
matter how you want to put it, it was not

54
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.639
good except in the outcome for us if we understand

55
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:04.039
it and embrace it and work with it. But Americans

56
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.319
are forgive me for saying this, but I mean, we're

57
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:11.159
so full of ourselves that we think we're the solution

58
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.520
to everything, when in point of fact, no matter how

59
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.080
far back you go in history, what you find is

60
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.800
those people who realize, no, we can't make it work

61
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.639
on our own, and we're not meant to the whole

62
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.879
idea of God creating us. And this is one of

63
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.719
the things we look at in the survey universal purpose.

64
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.240
Why did God make us? He made us a whole

65
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.759
love and servant with all our heart, mind, strength, and soul.

66
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.919
But we're not buying that. We're thinking he made us

67
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.319
so that we can take over, we can make all

68
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.840
the big decisions. We can fix everything that we've broken,

69
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.599
and everything's going to be all right. And unfortunately it's

70
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.520
just not like that. Do you realize, Bill, that only

71
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.919
one out of three adults in America believe that the

72
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.199
universal purpose for humanity is to love God with all

73
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.319
our heart, mind, strength, and soul. One out of three Americans.

74
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.439
And you know, for a while in human history, America

75
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.560
was the shining light spiritually, but I think that light

76
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.560
has been getting dimmer and dimmer and dimmer. At least

77
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:11.960
the research shows that.

78
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.800
Yeah, we need another George Whitfield. Perhaps, George, you know.

79
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.879
I'd take it, I'd love it. Yeah. I don't know

80
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.879
if he'd still want to go on horseback given the

81
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.279
condition of the country, but man, we could use that heart,

82
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.360
that mind, and that soul that he brought to the process.

83
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.399
Well. And sometimes, you know, and I understand that this

84
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.759
is disconcerting and it's worrying, but God is still in control,

85
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.480
He's still on the throne. And the thing is, humanity

86
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.240
has passed this road before and has been at this intersection,

87
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.600
and of course we know what happens. I mean, because

88
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.439
God has always said, look at I'll give you a choice.

89
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.839
You know, if you will turn from your wicked ways

90
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.519
all right and turn to me, you know I will hear.

91
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.439
I'll begin to hear. Right now, many peop people, or

92
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.600
let's just say a remnant of those with faith, are

93
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.959
wondering if God is hearing anymore, because he's just had

94
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.839
it with this arrogance. Like you said, because this is

95
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.199
all this all points back to the original sin, right, George.

96
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.240
Absolutely, And I think you bring up a couple of

97
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.319
really key points, one of which he used the word remnants,

98
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.959
one of my favorite words coming out of Scripture. Because

99
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:25.279
you know, a lot of people will come up to

100
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:26.800
me and say, oh my gosh, George, you've been doing

101
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.439
this for so long, how can you not be depressed.

102
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.920
It's like, well, well, don't make assumptions. Okay, it does

103
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.199
get depressing. But then when I go back in his

104
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.879
word and I see that every time that he transformed

105
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.040
the culture, what he did was he gathered up those

106
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.279
people who were totally sold out to him. They want

107
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.879
nothing but what God wanted, and they're willing to do

108
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.759
anything to get it. And he took that group, the remnant,

109
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.879
and then he sliced it into just a fraction of

110
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.519
the total and then with that small, small group, he

111
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:05.240
changed the culture. And the important lesson To me a sociologist,

112
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.480
research guy, I'm always looking at the numbers and say, oh, no,

113
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.839
we've got a minority. God only used minorities of the

114
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.680
people to change any culture. So it doesn't that the

115
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:21.079
raw numbers don't matter. What I'm more interested, frankly, are

116
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.560
the trends. Are we moving toward Him or away from him?

117
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.439
Because as a follower of Christ, that gives me a

118
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.399
better understanding of what we need to do, how urgent

119
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.319
it is, how much of our resource base we need

120
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.399
to pour into that as quickly as possible. So that's

121
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.000
one key thing. You know. The other word that you

122
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.240
mentioned that I think is so critical, Bill is repentance,

123
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.759
because as I've been doing research over the last two

124
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:50.959
or three years on discipleship, worldview, those types of things,

125
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.680
one thing I've discovered is that Americans when they hear

126
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.800
about the Gospel, they hear about how they can get saved,

127
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.279
but they don't here or they don't attend to that

128
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.560
part that talks about repentance. And when you ask them, well,

129
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:13.040
what do you think repentance is? That feeling? Sorry, no,

130
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.519
I mean, that's part of it. That's a good start,

131
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.240
but you're basically at the starting line there. Repentance means

132
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.680
to turn around. And so in the context of our behavior,

133
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.519
what it means is whatever has caused us to sin,

134
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.199
whatever has caused us, in other words, to break God's heart,

135
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.879
to break his rules which he gave us for our

136
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.600
own good. Well, repentance means I'm not going to do

137
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.600
that anymore. I'm going to go back and do what

138
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.120
God called me to do. I'm going to do the opposite,

139
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.399
go the opposite direction, to turn around of what I

140
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.680
had been doing, because my desire is to honor God,

141
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.279
to please God, to satisfy God. And when I do that,

142
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.959
that will bring fulfillment to my life.

143
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.279
You have to know God. When you know God, then

144
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:03.519
you begin to reckonci God's character in his personality with

145
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:09.879
your behavior. And the contrast is so glaring, George, that

146
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.839
you know you're like Moses at the burning bush or

147
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:17.439
Isaiah who is revealed who God is and he says,

148
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:18.519
I'm toast.

149
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.879
And the toast is getting darker every day in America.

150
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.560
You know, I hope we lighten up on that, you know,

151
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:32.840
burn lever, But I mean, even simple things. This is

152
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:37.919
what really concerns me so much. For probably forty years now,

153
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.960
I've been asking people about Jesus Christ, and one of

154
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:46.679
the things that we've consistently discovered is that we understand

155
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:51.240
so little of the biblical narrative that two out of

156
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:56.320
three Americans believe that when Jesus was on earth he sinned,

157
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:00.879
you know. And when you talk about knowing God, Jesus

158
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:04.320
of course being gone, it's like, well, how much more

159
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.279
of a red flag do you have to wave to say?

160
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:06.480
Now?

161
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.759
I don't think you know the real God, because Jesus,

162
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:14.120
by his very nature was incapable of sin, you know,

163
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:17.320
and he came here to take away our sin. That's

164
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.919
the only sin he ever had, was the sin of

165
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:21.159
ours that he took away.

166
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.080
Every June, T Mobile turns up the perks for Member Month,

167

Tide Ministry, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide and

219
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.879
the languages people were born to speak. Beneath the recent

220
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.519
tourism search in Albania lies a sobering reality that global

221
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.440
church cannot ignore. Groups that seem to be backed by

222
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:40.120
Iran may seek to target venues frequented by tourists, prompting

223
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:43.879
Albania to declare Iran a state sponsor of terrorism. Amid

224
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:47.759
this volatile backdrop, the Tide quietly continues its faithful mission,

225
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:51.399

226

228
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:01.279
programs serve as a church planting tool disciple listeners who

229
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.039

Research at Arizona Christian University's Cultural Research Center and author

257
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:32.159
of Racing Spiritual Champions.

258
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:32.559
Here we are.

259
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:36.399
I'm about ready to turn two hundred and fifty years

260
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:40.159
of age, and only half of adults hold a biblical

261
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:43.919
view of God. And it's amazing the journey of two

262
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.559
hundred and fifty years because when it all began, you know,

263
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:51.120
I mentioned Whitfield and you know great movie, you know,

264
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:56.919
and Awakening with about Whitfield and Benjamin Franklin and what happened.

265
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.120
I mean here Whitfield comes to the colonies and this

266
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.960
is the colonies, what's seven seven times the different colonies,

267
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:06.159
and he's taking the message you know, throughout that people

268
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.279
needed to repent. And I believe that was all part

269
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:13.720
of you know, God's hand in America to kind of

270
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.240
you know, churn up the ground and get ready to

271
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:21.559
receive the key message, the key message of freedom. And

272
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:27.399
like anything when you are countering the culture, especially with

273
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.000
something as big as freedom, George, there, that's going to

274
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.120
come with a cost. It's not going to be just hey,

275
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.000
let's just throw a party and put on a funny

276
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.720
hat and get some whistles and blow and celebrate here.

277
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.960
I mean, the colonists had to be prepared to love

278
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.120
God so much that they would be willing to put

279
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.720
it all on the line for the sake of freedom,

280
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:50.559
which I believe ultimately what God wants for all his creation.

281
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:55.279
And it's there's an interesting analogy there too, I think,

282
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.879
in that when you look at what we are in asking,

283
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.159
which is spiritual beings who were made to no love

284
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.399
and serve God, well, then really the most important freedom,

285
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.159
our freedom in America is incredible. I mean, there's never

286
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:13.120
been anything like it, and thank the Lord for it,

287
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:18.519
but it pales in comparison to the spiritual freedom that

288
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.120
we get by Jesus pain. That same kind of cost

289
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.879
that you're talking about that the colonists had to pay

290
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.080
in the Revolutionary War, and before and after that, a

291
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.039
lot of you know, hurt, a lot of pain, a

292
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.919
lot of suffering, a lot of sacrifice. What do you

293
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:34.840
think Jesus did on that cross for us. What do

294
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:36.440
you think he did by having to come down to

295
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:39.639
Earth for goodness sakes for thirty three years and endure

296
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:43.080
us imbeciles, you know, running around not understanding what he's

297
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.399
talking about, not getting what we're watching. When we see

298
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.840
him do miracles and heal people and love people and

299
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:52.360
you know, exhort people, all the things that he did

300
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.480
to show us the way. Well, yeah, you're absolutely right.

301
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:59.720
There is a cost to freedom. And one of the

302
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.159
things that I think contemporary Americans, at least the research

303
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:08.160
shows gloss over is the fact that somebody paid the

304
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.640
biggest price for us. All we have to do is

305
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.519
keep making tiny payments on that to maintain that freedom.

306
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.559
And we're not even willing to do that. We are

307
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:24.839
we feel so entitled that that's my birthright. I should

308
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:26.960
have that freedom. I shouldn't have to do anything to

309
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:30.400
maintain it. It's like, well, maybe everything comes at a cost,

310
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.119
and so you better count the cost and get out

311
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.759
your pocketbook and pay the piper, because that's.

312
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:37.480
What we have to do.

313
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:42.160
And as Christians, we have the added responsibility but the

314
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:47.720
added privilege of bringing other people into that understanding. We

315
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:51.559
are that light in the darkness of our culture. But man,

316
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.039
we got to shine more brightly than we've been. I

317
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:56.039
don't mean to put a guilt trip on anybody, but

318
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.000
time is of the essence. We're here for such a

319
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:01.279
time as this. I don't know how much more time

320
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:03.960
we've got left. I don't want to stand before God

321
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.839
when I'm waiting to hear him say well done, good

322
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:09.960
and faithful servant, and he says you lazy, so and so.

323
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:11.720
You know, I go, what were you doing? What were

324
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.319
you thinking? You couldn't you see? You know, I've got research,

325
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.440
Other people have other indicators that all point in the

326
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.319
same direction that America is moving farther from God rather

327
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.519
than more urgently, tightly and deeply toward Him. That's exactly

328
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:28.599
what we need to be doing as we come to

329
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:33.119
July fourth Independence Day. No praise God that we're in

330
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:36.039
America and we get to enjoy the freedoms that we have.

331
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:39.680
But man, let's never forget that those freedoms pale in

332
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:43.759
comparison to the eternal freedom that Jesus Christ gave to

333
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:44.960
us through that cross.

334
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:49.720
And the response George starts with us yep, each individual,

335
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:54.279
because for the sake of you know, our families, you know,

336
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:58.519
our marriages. We may be the one and if we're

337
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:02.000
the one carrying the cross for the family, then so

338
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.920
be it. That's what has to be done. Otherwise we're

339
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:07.559
going to end up at that, you know, like the

340
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.319
end of if you remember the end of Schindler's List,

341
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.400
when Schindler is there and he's realizing how many people

342
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:16.200
he saved and how many more he could have saved

343
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.359
even if he had given up a gold watch. You know,

344
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.480
today in America, are we willing to give up a

345
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.000
gold watch for the sake of our kids?

346
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.640
A couple of things come to mind again going into

347
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.440
the research, different study. I'm working on a book now

348
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:36.200
on disciple making, and one of the things that you know,

349
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:39.240
people have to understand is you can only reproduce who

350
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:43.480
you are, So who's going to make disciples? Existing disciples?

351
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:46.720
But then when I study the existing disciples, what I

352
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:49.839
see is that a large share of them are doing

353
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:54.400
nothing to disciple other people. And then everybody stands around

354
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:57.119
and wonders, well, why isn't the church growing, Why isn't

355
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.799
the church healthy? Well, the people who have the privilege

356
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:04.240
of being a follower of Jesus and loving that and

357
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:08.119
knowing that it's significant. They get that, But what many

358
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:10.319
of them aren't getting is, but how do you think

359
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.720
other people are going to get there? You know, you've

360
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.480
got to invest the time in them. It's a relationship.

361
00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:18.640
And in the same way, when I look at this

362
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.599
current research report, one of the things that we discovered

363
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:26.680
about the relationship with God is that most Americans admit

364
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:33.519
they don't actually have a living, a real, interactive, central

365
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.319
relationship with God, even though it's always going to be

366
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:39.039
a work in progress. We're never going to be there,

367
00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:43.200
you know, until we reach heaven. But short of that time,

368
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:45.960
I mean, we've really got to invest ourselves in that

369
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:49.319
relationship and not put all the burden on God and say, well,

370
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.480
you know, you're the powerful one, you're the omnipresent one,

371
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.920
you make it happen. No, that's not how a relationship works.

372
00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:59.519
It's a two part deal. You do your part, I'll

373
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:02.279
do my part, and together we're going to grow, We're

374
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.599
gonna love, we're gonna learn, we're gonna live. That's how

375
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.720
that works. And my fear is that the American church

376
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:14.799
has gotten so lazy church capitalcy that we're not investing enough.

377
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.279
We've been seduced by the world. We've been taken over

378
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.640
by the culture, we're being influenced by the media, and

379
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:25.799
all of that is dragging us away from God himself.

380
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:29.160
And we're not kicking and then screaming and you know,

381
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:31.839
fighting that with all we've got. We've got to get

382
00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:34.839
back to God. He is our only hope.

383
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:39.359
Well, exactly right, George, because this is we are failing

384
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:43.319
to know God, and that breaks off the relationship. This

385
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:46.039
is our source. I mean, we're not connected to the vine.

386
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.960
And look at the fruit that's being demonstrated here, and

387
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.400
it's not look at this is for self evaluation. I mean,

388
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:55.799
if you're in prayer with God, if you're in his word,

389
00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.039
if you are continuing to build that relationship, if you

390
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:01.119
can say that you're close to God this year than

391
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:03.400
you were last year, I think that's a good thing.

392
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:04.119
That's good.

393
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:04.920
Yeah.

394
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:07.160
I mean you look for a movement, it's going to

395
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:09.680
be incremental movement. You're not going to go from one

396
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:10.519
to ten in a week.

397
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:11.200
You know.

398
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:13.480
If you go from one to one point two in

399
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:15.839
a week, wow, that's good. All right, you're moving in

400
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.319
the right direction, you know. But one of the things

401
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.440
I see Bill in this research is that most Americans

402
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.559
do not believe that Satan is real, and most of

403
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:30.680
them do not believe that the Holy Spirit is real.

404
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:35.000
And this is the helper that God has sent to

405
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:39.400
us to make those incremental gains. And so because we

406
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:43.079
don't have that relationship with Him, we don't understand these

407
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.640
spiritual dynamics. We're not open to the Holy Spirit coming

408
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:50.960
and inhabiting us literally. And you know, some people talking

409
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:53.079
about my conscience, you know it's on my conscience. Well,

410
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:55.319
that's the Holy Spirit, man. I mean, you know, put

411
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.480
these things together and begin to understand. When you allow

412
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:01.519
the Holy Spirit to habit you and to lead you,

413
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:05.519
and you learn the voice and so you start listening

414
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:10.200
more carefully, that's incremental steps. So you know, each of

415
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:14.440
us needs to be constantly re evaluating our spiritual lives

416
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.799
trying to figure out what can we do to get

417
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:20.839
deeper in that relationship with God. And so if you

418
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:23.799
sent me a helper, let me work with the helper.

419
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:25.759
The helpers where we're supposed to go.

420
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.279
Right, Well, yeah, because here we are, George, I mean,

421
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.799
we're body, mind and spirit, we're spiritual beings. We ignore

422
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:36.599
that part to our own demise. Jesus said, I have

423
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:39.240
to leave that the Holy Spirit would come to lead you,

424
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:43.279
to continue to guide you in truth and wisdom. And

425
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:47.279
the thing is is that I think most Christians, most

426
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:51.920
Bible believing Christians that still believe in God, understand that

427
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.279
the battle that we're in right now is a spiritual battle.

428
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.400
So how do you fight a spiritual battle without spiritual weaponry?

429
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.240
Can't do it. Can't do it, you know. And part

430
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:05.039
of it too, Bill, you know, I mean one of

431
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:07.279
the things that blows me away. In the study, we

432
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.079
found that only one out of four Americans believe that

433
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:15.640
human life is sacred. So we're in this weird place

434
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:20.400
where we're arrogant, we're selfish, we're full of ourselves, and

435
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:24.400
yet we don't believe that our lives are given to

436
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:29.359
us by God and sacred because it's his gift, it's

437
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:33.240
his special creation. We're made in his image for his purposes.

438
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:36.519
So we're so confused, you know. And you and I

439
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.200
have talked about our worldview research in the past and

440
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:43.960
the fact that we're syncretists. That's the reigning worldview in America,

441
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:46.960
which is where you just pull a little bit from Marxism,

442
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:50.319
a little bit secular humanism, give me some of that postmodernism.

443
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:53.319
Who this Eastern mystical stuff looks good. I'll take a

444
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:55.119
little bit of Bible, you know, and you put it

445
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:57.240
all together, you mash it up, and you've got your

446
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:00.960
own custom worldview. But the problem that is that it

447
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:05.279
leaves us terribly confused about what's right, what's wrong, what's real,

448
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:09.759
what's false, what's deceptive, what's accurate? And so you know,

449
00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:12.680
we've got to go back to the one place that's

450
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:18.000
always true, always real, always relevant, always reliable, God's word.

451
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:21.599
So get back in his word. Let him show you

452
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:25.200
the way, Let the Holy Spirit guide you down that path.

453
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:28.119
Learn to listen to the voice so that you're making

454
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:31.359
better decisions every day. You're not going to hit a thousand,

455
00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:34.279
you know, right out of the first game. You know,

456
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:36.799
you're probably going to strike out four times. But that's okay.

457
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:39.119
Maybe you hit a few foul balls next day. Maybe

458
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:40.680
you're going to hit a ground your day after that,

459
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:43.000
maybe a single who knows, you know, but you got

460
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:43.400
to grow.

461
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:47.319
Yeah, exactly, Well, George, as we wrap things up, where

462
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:49.880
can people go, you know? Play? I mean, this is

463
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:52.200
some great research I mean this is really in so

464
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:54.400
many ways mind blowing, but it's also a call.

465
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.799
It is, and I mean, you know, they can get

466
00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:59.240
it in a couple of places. They can go to

467
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:03.519
Cultural Research Center dot com or they can go to

468
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:08.119
Georgebarna dot com. We've got all the reports in both places.

469
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:11.039
You can download them for free. But the important thing

470
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:14.240
is read them, think about them, pray about him, and

471
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:17.720
most importantly, do something about it. Whether it's in your

472
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:20.839
own life spiritually so that you grow, or maybe it's

473
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:23.920
other people that you can help to grow, particularly if

474
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:29.000
you're a disciple, recognize your responsibility to be discipling others

475
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:31.440
all the time. The only way we're going to grow

476
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:34.960
the kingdom is if we put the footwork in. You know,

477
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:37.920
we do the sweat equity here to help build it.

478
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.960
God will help us along the way as we demonstrate

479
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:43.319
that heart. But we've got it. We've got to make

480
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:43.839
that step.

481
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:45.759
That's the key first step to do right.

482
00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:49.079
It really is. Yeah, you know, go back to James.

483
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:51.599
You know, God's now looking for you know, people who

484
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:54.720
listen and give a sent He's looking for doers. People

485
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:56.519
will take the word and put it into action.

486
00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:59.960
Doctor George Barna, the director of Research at Arizona Christian

487
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.319
University's Cultural Research Center, author of Raising Spiritual Champions. Doctor

488
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:06.640
George is always great to have you with us. Take care,

489
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:08.119
God bless Thanks Bil.

490
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:12.960
We call ourselves Asap Travel for one reason. We can

491
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:15.799
help you book a ticket asap. For those of you

492
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.480
that don't know, that means as soon as possible. That

493
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:21.319
means no waight time, you get through right away, no

494
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:22.480
searching online.

495
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:25.279
Our specialty is the lowest available fairs on the big

496
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:28.559
name airlines. You know them. We can't tell you their names.

497
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:32.000
You can fly domestically or internationally and save more money

498
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.319

Hey, good morning, welcome back Bill Martinez here along with

Jenny Beth Martin from the Tea Party Patriots Action. Jenny Beth,

555
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:47.920
good morning to you.

556
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:49.880
Good morning Bell. It's great to be with you.

557
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:52.480
Hey, it's always going to be talking to you. As

558
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.960
we come closer and closer to the official two hundred

559
00:30:55.960 --> 00:31:00.519
and fiftieth celebration, What an exciting time in sight of

560
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.680
what some people would want to do in terms of

561
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:07.000
destroying the beauty of the Capitol. I just can't believe

562
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:08.440
what they're doing with the reflecting Pond.

563
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:12.279
I can't believe it either. It shouldn't really surprise us.

564
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:12.720
Bill.

565
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:16.720
We've seen so much graffiti in major urban cities around

566
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:17.920
this country.

567
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:21.119
We've seen the destruction that happened.

568
00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:26.559
And just graffiti and destroying monuments during the Biden administration.

569
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.480
Whether they're taking them down or they're just allowing graffiti

570
00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:33.480
to be up. There is a sense among some Americans

571
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:36.720
that it's okay to destroy property to make a political point.

572
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.240
It's not okay. The reflecting pool belongs to all of us.

573
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:42.920
Our tax dollars paid for it.

574
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:46.519
So when some people decide.

575
00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:50.079
Oh, we're just going to destroy this to prove a point,

576
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:53.480
where they're actually doing is insulting all of us, wasting

577
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:55.559
all of our tax dollars, and they need to be

578
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:56.480
held accountable.

579
00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:59.400
It's completely completely.

580
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:02.480
Wrong to do that you to any any of our

581
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:06.039
property because that property is paid for by the hard

582
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:10.119
work that Americans do every day to pay taxes.

583
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:12.960
Well, how dare these Marxists? I mean, okay, you don't

584
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:16.599
like America, you know it's it's a free country. You

585
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:19.440
have every you know, you have that right, it's not

586
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:22.599
in our constitution. But you don't have the right to

587
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:26.880
destroy property and to basically steal from the taxpayer because

588
00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:30.599
we've invested. Those are our hard working funds that we've

589
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:33.559
invested to beautify a city that's been ignored for a

590
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:37.440
long time, where crime was running rapid. Now, everybody that

591
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:39.599
I hear that goes to Washington, d C. I just

592
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:44.000
can't believe the night and day, you know, demonstration of

593
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:46.079
our capital city.

594
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:49.960
Yeah, it's just it is so wrong. President Trump has

595
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:53.319
done everything he can to return return law and order

596
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:53.920
to the.

597
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:55.039
District of Columbia.

598
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:57.880
He's worked to get the criminals off the streets, to

599
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:01.039
enforce the law, and to make sure that people understand

600
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:03.960
that in Washington, DC, you can't just go around committing

601
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:08.839
crimes and not be held accountable for it. So watching

602
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:12.599
this kind of destruction is very bothersome. And Bill, you

603
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.799
know what bothers me the most. I've told people, uber drivers,

604
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:20.640
other people who probably aren't very very political normally, Oh

605
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:21.240
I'm going.

606
00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:23.480
To Washington, d C. Or I work in Washington, d C.

607
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:28.400
And they want to see the city cleaner and neater,

608
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.599
and they want to see photos of the reflecting pool,

609
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:34.599
and they've you know, it's just it's a bizarre thing

610
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:38.759
to see people who want to actually go and cause destruction.

611
00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:42.519
It's not it's not what we are made of. And

612
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:46.160
you're right, we're headed into our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.

613
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:48.960
We have a lot to celebrate. And the people who are.

614
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:51.079
So angry at our country that they want to just

615
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.400
destroy property they ought to just take a step back

616
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:57.960
and look at all that America has accomplished, all that

617
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.400
we've overcome, how we're the greatest country God has ever

618
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:05.319
given the feast of this planet. And we have an

619
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:08.440
obligation to protect that liberty and hand it on to

620
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:10.800
the next generation, in the next and the next, so

621
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.800
that soon, well not soon in our lifetime, but not

622
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.800
in the not too distant future, as far as the

623
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:21.800
time of the world goes, another set of Americans will

624
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:25.480
be able to celebrate the five hundredth anniversary of America.

625
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:29.239
Jenny Beth. We can't allow people who are angry and

626
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:35.599
deranged to control this party, this celebration, and they're going

627
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.880
to do everything because you know they're they're hateful people

628
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:41.599
in a way, and I use that, you know conditionally

629
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:46.440
they're hateful. You know, within themselves, they have been breeding,

630
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:49.960
they have been meditating on hate, and this is an

631
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:54.760
expression of their souls. Sadly, and I feel for them

632
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:57.719
because they're going to miss out on a grand party

633
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.599
because whether or not they're participating or whether they want

634
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:04.159
to try and destroy property as they've been doing for

635
00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:07.320
the last several decades. You know, the silent majority has

636
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:10.519
got to quit being silent, and you have to decide

637
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:13.239
what side are you on. Are you an American? Are

638
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:17.400
you anti American? This is the way the you know,

639
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:20.880
the cast is being you know, put out there, Jenny bath.

640
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:23.159
Well, Bill, you said a lot of things.

641
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:26.480
Just the first, Yes, you have to decide are you

642
00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:29.320
an American or not. We can disagree on politics, we

643
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:31.719
can disagree on policy. At the end of the day,

644
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:33.599
we live in this country. We need to be able

645
00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:36.199
to celebrate our country. We need to be able to

646
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:39.000
be proud of our country. Even if you think our

647
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:42.239
country is flawed. All humans are flawed, and the country

648
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:44.320
is made up of humans, so there is going to

649
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:46.199
be There are going to be flaws.

650
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:47.840
You work to improve.

651
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:49.880
Them, and you celebrate the fact that we live in

652
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:53.880
a place where we can agree to disagree peacefully and.

653
00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:57.719
Hold on to that liberty.

654
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.239
And then the other thing you said, talking about people

655
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:02.360
who are hateful they are heat filled.

656
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:05.000
You're exactly right, they're full of hatred.

657
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:07.480
And I was just thinking as you were saying that,

658
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:11.159
how Christ has taught us to ask for forgiveness of

659
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:14.639
our sins. As we forgive those who sin against us,

660
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:17.840
That means we are praying for those who do wrong

661
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:20.480
to us and finding a way in our own heart

662
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:24.480
to forgive them. And that is very, very important to

663
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:28.800
do because it frees us from that hatred and the

664
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:33.199
grip that hatred and anger and bitterness have on our lives,

665
00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:36.840
and it allows us to be to be free in

666
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:40.079
the Holy spirits so that we can do things in

667
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:44.559
our lives as hopefully living a life that God would

668
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.360
want us to. And the people who are so filled

669
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:50.199
with heat that they key't even c street that they

670
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:53.239
are angry at President Trump all the time, and anyone

671
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:56.000
who supports them they think is the worst person in

672
00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:58.920
the world. I think that we can all we need

673
00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:01.159
to pray for them, pray that they can have a

674
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:04.119
softening of their hearts, because it's not good for them,

675
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:06.800
it's not good for our country, and it's not good

676
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:09.639
for those who they encounter, and they spread that heat to.

677
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:14.239
And by the same token, Jenny Beth, those who pronounce

678
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:18.559
their Americanism and their citizenship should have confidence in our

679
00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:23.119
Constitution that was a light to lead us to a

680
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:28.239
more perfect union. There is resolution designed in the Constitution

681
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:31.760
so that when you have a grievance as opposed to

682
00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:34.760
how many nations around the world that we're reading about

683
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:37.039
and seeing that, look at, you don't go along with

684
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:38.800
the government, they're gonna mow you down. They're going to

685
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:41.559
kill forty fifty thousand people in the street. And so

686
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:44.199
how do you like them apples? You know so much

687
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:46.920
for any kind of resolution of grievance, and here in

688
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:50.880
the United States, because look at, we cherish free speech.

689
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:54.039
We want to hear your grievance so that we can

690
00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:58.039
come together and do something about it together. But doing

691
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:02.320
it in a manner that's destructed and hateful is not positive.

692
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:06.519
It does not take us to that endpoint that we're

693
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:09.519
all looking for, and that is a more perfect union

694
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:10.360
under God.

695
00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:12.440
Yeah, you were exactly right.

696
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:17.480
Our constitution gives us the ability to change our government.

697
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:19.199
Really every single.

698
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:22.360
Two years, we can overthrow the entire House of Representatives.

699
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:26.039
We can vote out every single member if we're tired

700
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:28.320
and don't like the way the government is working.

701
00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:30.039
We can overthrow the.

702
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.239
President every four years peacefully at the ballot box, and

703
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:37.280
the same happens in the Senate every six years. We

704
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:40.400
have ways to correct our problems, and we have to

705
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:45.840
exercise those options. And when you do that and you

706
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.320
realize you're not powerless. You don't have to go and

707
00:38:48.400 --> 00:38:53.159
just destroy property. We started out as the Tea Party movement,

708
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:56.000
protesting in the streets because we didn't know what else

709
00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:59.679
we could do to express our anger towards what we

710
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:02.760
were seeing happened in the country. And the more that

711
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:05.360
we were engaged, the more we learned about the constitution,

712
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:09.039
the more we learned about our rights and our responsibilities.

713
00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:12.440
We found ways to be active and engaged in work

714
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:15.639
to improve the country. And that's where the people who

715
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:17.519
don't like President Trump should be doing.

716
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:18.320
If you don't like.

717
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:21.840
His policies, focus on his policies.

718
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:24.599
Don't focus on the man. Focus on the policies and

719
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:25.679
work to improve them.

720
00:39:26.079 --> 00:39:29.360
And I'm not saying you shouldn't like his policies. I'm

721
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:32.039
just acknowledging there are people who don't, and that would

722
00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:35.599
be a better thing for those who don't to do.

723
00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:38.000
Do you have a better idea? I mean, we want

724
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:40.599
to hear better ideas to where we can come together.

725
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:43.119
And I'm not one necessarily throw the baby out with

726
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:46.400
the bath water. Look at I'm seeing and I hear

727
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:48.960
the frustration of the people on the left, But let's

728
00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:52.320
do it in a way that's civil that you know

729
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:54.320
kind of you know. Of course, I came from the

730
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:57.840
generation that you know was protesting the Vietnam War, and

731
00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:00.800
there was all kinds of riots and we had, you know,

732
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:03.840
college students being killed at Kent State, you know, all

733
00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:06.440
that period of time. That was rough four assassinations that

734
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:08.880
took place during that period of time. But we grew

735
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:10.960
out of that and realized if we were going to

736
00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:14.239
be the change that we wanted, we needed to do

737
00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:17.280
the heavy lifting, not just complain and go and cause destruction,

738
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:20.320
go and be constructive. And that's what I'm hearing you say,

739
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.320
Jenny Beth. I'm going to let you wrap things up.

740
00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:23.519
We got twenty seconds left.

741
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:27.320
Go ahead, You're exactly right, go and be constructive. And Bill,

742
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.920
we're headed into a two three week period where we

743
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:34.920
are really celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America.

744
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.960
And if you haven't made plans yet to do something

745
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:39.360
spectacular on the.

746
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:40.960
Fourth of July, make sure you do.

747
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:45.920
Make it an extraordinary, a very special Fourth of July

748
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:48.880
this year because we are celebrating two hundred and fifty years.

749
00:40:48.920 --> 00:40:51.360
So I encourage everyone to just take a step back

750
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:54.039
and understand the importance of this moment.

Millions of people of all ages have speech, language or

754
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:08.960
hearing difficulties. A new national poll finds that communication breakdowns

755
00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:12.000
frequently occur between caregivers and the people in their care,

756
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:15.840
causing an array of potentially serious problems. US caregivers of

757
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.480
adults with communication difficulties were polled. The American Speech Language

758
00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:23.519
Hearing Association ASHA commissioned the poll and Yugov conducted it.

759
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:27.400
The poll revealed caregivers are concerned that communication breakdowns could

760
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:30.599
hinder addressing medical problems and cause other safety issues that

761
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:32.519
put at risk the health of the person in need

762
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:35.280

00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:30.599
the fallout not so much.

838
00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:33.559
Right, Yeah, that's right. It's important to keep in mind

839
00:45:33.559 --> 00:45:33.800
to think.

840
00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:36.679
Lots of people today they say how's the border. People

841
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:39.960
think the border's under control. Certainly compared to the Biden administration.

842
00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:43.320
The difference between twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five

843
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:45.519
in terms of the number of people who are released,

844
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:48.440
the number of people who escaped capture at the border,

845
00:45:48.800 --> 00:45:52.880
those numbers have just plummeted across the board. But when

846
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:54.840
I say that the border crisis is still with us,

847
00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:57.360
that millions of people who should not have been admitted

848
00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:00.440
were admitted, most of them are still here, despite the

849
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:02.920
fact that a lot of people have decided to leave

850
00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:05.280
on their own make up their own mind, and another

851
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:08.760
significant number of people have been arrested, detained, and deported.

852
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:11.880
But we've got hundreds of thousands, millions of people here

853
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:15.280
who are still here, and we're learning about the repercussions

854
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.800
of that. The impact on communities are still there, the

855
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:21.840
overcrowded schools, the overcrowded streets, the hospitals, et cetera. But

856
00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:24.400
we're also seeing some court cases run through the system

857
00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:28.239
now of some real heinous abuses the Department of Justice.

858
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:34.119
There's one case where there's a woman who sponsored forty children.

859
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:37.800
This is when HHS was completely overwhelmed with unaccompanied alien

860
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:39.840
children and she sponsored forty of them. How does this

861
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:42.920
sponsor It's like the old woman in the shoe, right.

862
00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:43.840
Right, exactly.

863
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:45.920
Well, it turns out that the old woman in the

864
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.199
shoe was running a sweatshop. Basically was you know, she

865
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:53.119
was trafficking these kids in for labor, for child labor.

866
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:56.880
There's another case where a gentleman convinced a family to

867
00:46:56.960 --> 00:47:01.000
allow him to take their young teenage daughter to America

868
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:06.119
to pose as his sister, and after he got released

869
00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:10.000
with his quote unquote sister, he proceeded to abuse her.

870
00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:14.599
He impregnated her, and the fallout from that has been

871
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:17.840
truly horrific. We're seeing these cases run through the system.

872
00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:22.280
These are anecdotal, of course, but they are parts of

873
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:26.039
the hundreds of thousands of individual children who were released

874
00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:29.400
into the country who we're still looking for some of them.

875
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:32.360
We found many of them in child labor conditions. And

876
00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:35.159
then even more horrific cases in the case of this

877
00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:37.880
fourteen year old girl, so that's what I mean when

878
00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:40.280
I say that the border crisis is still very much

879
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:45.239
with us. By the way, the loopholes that force government,

880
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:48.679
the US government to release these unaccompanied daily and children,

881
00:47:48.840 --> 00:47:51.119
they're still there. They're still there, so a lot of

882
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:54.360
So if you're a young child and you come from

883
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:57.639
Canada or Mexico, US government can do the right thing

884
00:47:57.679 --> 00:47:59.159
and say we're going to send you home.

885
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:01.400
We're going to send you back your family in your country.

886
00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:05.159
But if you're from a non contiguous country, so not

887
00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:08.400
Canada or Mexico, the government has to process you through

888
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:11.440
Health and Human Services and then put you through this pipeline,

889
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:14.119
and that's where you get into this sponsor system. The

890
00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:16.599
Trump administration, even though I say that the border is

891
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:19.320
in much better shape, but their release to the Trump

892
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:23.320
administration is releasing unaccompanied alien children to sponsors. They're holding

893
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:27.000
them longer, they're vetting the sponsors longer. The One Big

894
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:30.760
Beautiful Bill provided enhanced funding for that. So we're hopeful

895
00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:33.519
that some of these worst case abuses are still there.

896
00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:38.280
But the primary loopholes that require the release of unaccompanied

897
00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:41.280
alien children into the country, they are still there, which

898
00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:44.840
is why it is so important that Speaker Johnson promised

899
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:47.719
before they left town that they were going to vote

900
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:51.800
on some true border reforms to close loopholes precisely like

901
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:55.639
this one, so that another administration or even this administration

902
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:59.559
will not find itself in a similar situation a few

903
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:00.559
years down the line.

904
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:03.840
Well exactly, Well that's how we got here, because everything

905
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:08.639
just got ignored and for some reason, I mean, we're

906
00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:12.440
not even looking at it holistically to realize that our

907
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.519
government is not big enough to handle something this massive.

908
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:19.079
And you know, you can write it up for whatever

909
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:23.440
you want, you can say incompetence, just out and out evil,

910
00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:26.920
you know, to alter the lives of these young children.

911
00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:29.159
I mean, at one point, Jeremy, we had four hundred

912
00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:31.880
thousand kids. We didn't know where they were at. They

913
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:33.639
were just missing, That's right.

914
00:49:33.679 --> 00:49:34.920
It's just completely overwhelmed.

915
00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:39.719
Half a million unaccompanied alien children, that's the governmental term UACs,

916
00:49:40.159 --> 00:49:43.920
unaccompanied minors, if you will, half a million, and of

917
00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:46.119
course the government just couldn't, you know, you couldn't keep

918
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:47.800
track of all of them. And a lot of that

919
00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:50.920
is because you released them to a sponsor, a quote

920
00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:53.880
unquote sponsor who doesn't want to be found later on,

921
00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:56.639
because they don't have the best of intentions, or they're

922
00:49:56.639 --> 00:50:00.280
in the country illegally themselves, so the government loses track

923
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:02.599
of them. It's an overwhelmed system and a system that

924
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:06.760
is again riddled with loopholes. And you're right, the scale

925
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:09.920
is what's important here. We know where, We know now

926
00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:13.440
that the Biden administration basically just they either didn't see

927
00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:16.280
it coming or they just didn't care. Commissioner Scott of

928
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:19.440
the Customs and Border Protection had a conversation a week

929
00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:21.440
or so ago with Marca Koran of the Center for

930
00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:25.440
Immigration Studies, and he told a pretty chilling anecdote about

931
00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:27.639
the early Biden months.

932
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:29.719
He served in the Biden administration.

933
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:33.559
He served in the Clinton administration, the Obama administration.

934
00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:33.920
At Trump.

935
00:50:35.159 --> 00:50:38.880
And he resigned from during the Biden administration because he

936
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:39.719
saw what was happening.

937
00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:42.559
He couldn't work there anymore. He said that he and.

938
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:45.119
Many many others said, listen, the policies you're putting in

939
00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:48.679
place here, it's not just about the fifteen people standing

940
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:51.119
on the other side of the border today. It's about,

941
00:50:51.199 --> 00:50:53.360
you know, the fifteen million people who are going to

942
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:56.239
be rushing the border tomorrow. And he said that the

943
00:50:56.880 --> 00:50:59.960
administration officials that he told this to kind of just shrugged.

944
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:00.519
You know.

945
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:04.039
Their attitude was, so what and what else do you

946
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:06.519
got for us? That's just a very different.

947
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:10.800
World view than the understanding, which is the fundamental understanding

948
00:51:10.840 --> 00:51:12.880
that we have at Numbers USA, which is that if

949
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:15.719
you want to have a compassionate approach towards the people

950
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:17.840
around the world, you have to help them where they are,

951
00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:20.119
because that's where the that's where the majority of them are.

952
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:23.280
They're not You can't invite the entire world into your country.

953
00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:26.280
And if you want to have an immigration system that works,

954
00:51:26.599 --> 00:51:29.119
you have to set limits, you have to enforce those limits,

955
00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:31.159
and you have to be very careful when you identify

956
00:51:31.199 --> 00:51:35.280
loopholes to close the loopholes. There's only so much that

957
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:38.440
a president can do. It's up to the legislative branch

958
00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:42.119
to ultimately do this, and it's frankly scary how long

959
00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:44.559
it is taking them to get around to doing it.

960
00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:47.840
If there was one issue that propelled the majority, the

961
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:50.599
Republican majority in the House and the Senate in twenty

962
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:52.960
twenty four, it was this issue. It was the border crisis,

963
00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:55.840
it was immigration. And they've done some things. The one

964
00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:58.400
big beautiful bill provided a lot of funding and improved

965
00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:00.679
the vetting. I just mentioned that, and they passed the

966
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:03.239
Lake and Riley Act, which is a helpful bill. But

967
00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:07.280
the fundamental problems that undergirded the border crisis they have

968
00:52:07.480 --> 00:52:11.719
not addressed, and that to this point is a colossal failure.

969
00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:13.320
But there's still time for them to get it right.

970
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:16.559
Well, we're fooling ourselves and thinking that this was somewhat

971
00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:20.480
an accident. The reason the people in the Biden administration

972
00:52:20.719 --> 00:52:24.599
shrugged and said so what was because that wasn't their agenda.

973
00:52:25.239 --> 00:52:28.559
Being compassionate was not part of their agenda. They had

974
00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:33.199
an agenda that was politically driven and also was feeding

975
00:52:33.800 --> 00:52:38.840
the NGOs a lot of money. I mean, this became

976
00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:42.800
a cottage industry. So it's no wonder that we got

977
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:45.599
what we paid for. Whether you realized it or not,

978
00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:48.519
and whether you realized it was your money or not,

979
00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:51.840
the bottom line was it was your money and you

980
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:56.519
got what. You know, what they spent on our behalf,

981
00:52:57.079 --> 00:52:58.559
and it wasn't by accident.

982
00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:04.159
The greation industrial complex, yes right, and yes, this taxpayer

983
00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:07.719
dollars we're flowing to non governmental agencies that were helping

984
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:11.760
people across the border that we're helping them get relocated

985
00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:14.599
in places in the United States, people who were inadmissible

986
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:17.800
to the United States. Granted, this isn't just working through

987
00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:21.119
our Green card system, which is also overwhelmed, but at

988
00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:24.079
least that's the system that we have. This is outside

989
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:27.360
of that legal system that Congress set up. And yeah,

990
00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:31.239
we had a whole complex, everything from religious charities to

991
00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:34.880
NGOs to everything that gets essentially paid by the head

992
00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:38.639
of bringing people in and helping them, helping them get

993
00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:39.639
into the country.

994
00:53:39.639 --> 00:53:42.920
Which again forget and don't forget it included congressmen and

995
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:46.559
women because they've benefited from this too. Jeremy. I mean

996
00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:48.840
we keep, you know, we keep shouting this from the

997
00:53:48.920 --> 00:53:51.800
rooftops that you've got to follow the money and see

998
00:53:51.800 --> 00:53:54.440
what The reason that this keeps on going and there's

999
00:53:54.480 --> 00:53:57.559
such a resistance is because people do that which they

1000
00:53:57.599 --> 00:54:02.239
get rewarded for. And right now, as you say, this complex,

1001
00:54:02.280 --> 00:54:06.199
this industrial complex, immigration industrial complex that has been well

1002
00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:10.159
established and well oiled over the years, is yielding the

1003
00:54:10.239 --> 00:54:13.800
results for politicians that gets them re elected.

1004
00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:16.920
Well, I mean you've had some politicians say listen, we

1005
00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:19.880
want this mass immigration because I need it for redistricting.

1006
00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:20.360
Purposes.

1007
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:22.559
I need it to keep the number of people in

1008
00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:24.840
my district, or we want our state to have more

1009
00:54:24.840 --> 00:54:28.880
congressional districts because the Census Bureau doesn't count legally illegal

1010
00:54:28.920 --> 00:54:30.400
that kind of things, just the number of people in

1011
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:32.760
your state. So this affects our democracy.

1012
00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:34.599
People. You want to talk about.

1013
00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:39.039
How firm our democracy is right now, this absolutely undermines

1014
00:54:39.039 --> 00:54:43.159
our democracy. Changes the complexion of the House of Representatives

1015
00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:45.960
and the district allotments that go to the different states.

1016
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:47.960
So yeah, well it's all part of it.

1017
00:54:48.280 --> 00:54:51.320
And God forbid, the Democrats would come up and say,

1018
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:55.159
even some Republicans would come up with policies that would

1019
00:54:55.239 --> 00:54:58.000
be beneficial for everybody, and that they would get re

1020
00:54:58.079 --> 00:55:02.079
elected based on good policy and good politics.

1021
00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:03.159
Yeah.

1022
00:55:03.199 --> 00:55:05.320
I mean, it's one thing to get elected because you

1023
00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:07.519
don't like what the other guy did, right, But it's

1024
00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:09.920
another thing to get elected because you're you're you're doing

1025
00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:11.360
something better than the other guy did.

1026
00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:13.400
You're you're missing it. And there's no doubt that.

1027
00:55:13.519 --> 00:55:17.559
Again, the border situation is better, although border apprehensions recently

1028
00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:22.199
they are rising again, and inevitably they will rise. You

1029
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:27.119
cannot simply stave this off forever. From an administrative point

1030
00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:30.760
of view, and so we're seeing subtle signs that you

1031
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:34.760
know this, this will not hold already and we're only

1032
00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:38.360
we're only here in June of twenty twenty six. The

1033
00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:41.119
border crisis is still with us. And I would hate,

1034
00:55:41.199 --> 00:55:42.920
sure hate to turn around in a couple of years

1035
00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:45.239
and say, oh, wow, we have another surge coming at

1036
00:55:45.239 --> 00:55:46.039
the border right now.

1037
00:55:46.400 --> 00:55:49.159
What did that Congress do? What? What did they think

1038
00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:50.159
they were there to do?

1039
00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:53.119
It really is time for them to, you know, put

1040
00:55:53.119 --> 00:55:56.119
on their their big people pants and right to work.

1041
00:55:56.599 --> 00:55:59.599
Well, you spell it out quite clearly in your latest newsletter,

1042
00:55:59.639 --> 00:56:02.079
and I want to direct our audience to that. So

1043
00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:05.960
how can they get their hands on your newsletter, Jeremy Beck.

1044
00:56:06.320 --> 00:56:08.960
Go to NumbersUSA dot org, scroll right down to the

1045
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:10.920
bottom of the Page's a place that you can put

1046
00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:12.559
your email in and you'll get the newsletter.

1047
00:56:12.679 --> 00:56:13.840
So it comes out every week.

1048
00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:17.760
Yeah, Because I mean the main title at the very

1049
00:56:17.800 --> 00:56:20.760
top is the border Surgeons Stop the fallout, isn't It

1050
00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:26.079
goes into the Biden administration ignoring warnings And it's much

1051
00:56:26.119 --> 00:56:29.360
more diabolical, I think, And I know it sounds cynical,

1052
00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:32.639
but when you read the facts, you realize, as I

1053
00:56:32.719 --> 00:56:35.920
was saying earlier, it wasn't by accident, it was by design.

1054
00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:38.920
There's no doubt about it. Again, remind them where they

1055
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:40.599
can go, Jeremy, as we wrap things up.

1056
00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:44.000

1083
00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:12.079
Six minutes after the top of the hour, and we've

got our favorite legal endlist, the one and only Boris

1085

Cooper the former constitutional law professor, recognized legal commentator and author.

1086
00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:20.599
Horace Good morning to you.

1087
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:21.039
How are you.

1088
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:23.639
It is great to be on the program. I feel

1089
00:58:23.679 --> 00:58:24.280
blessed today.

1090
00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:26.920
Well, I'll tell you it's always a blessing to have

1091
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:30.119
you around, Sir. I appreciate you and lots to talk about.

1092
00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:33.400
With the latest Scotis decisions, I want to talk about

1093
00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:37.760
an old Scotus decision which happened and it was I

1094
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:40.639
got to tell you, it's almost like I'm waiting for

1095
00:58:40.880 --> 00:58:45.000
the news to catch up with everyone. It's almost reminding

1096
00:58:45.079 --> 00:58:49.679
me of the emancinmation Emancipation Proclamation. You know, when Abraham

1097
00:58:49.679 --> 00:58:52.760
Lincoln set out the eadicch and freed the slaves. It

1098
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:55.000
took a while for it to go across the country.

1099
00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:57.199
And I feel this way somewhat, and I don't know

1100
00:58:57.239 --> 00:58:59.559
if you'd agree or not, orce but that is when

1101
00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:05.480
the Court decided that institutional racism was done with, that

1102
00:59:05.559 --> 00:59:08.719
it had run its course. And to me, I just

1103
00:59:08.719 --> 00:59:10.960
felt like America should have just come out in the

1104
00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:13.880
streets yelling and screaming, jumping up and down and going,

1105
00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:16.280
you know, good God, Almighty free at last.

1106
00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:21.559
You know, it is remarkable to me, And I guess

1107
00:59:21.599 --> 00:59:27.320
in a way this is like Abraham Lincoln, the President

1108
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:31.400
of the United States Proclamation on the Ending of Slavery.

1109
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:39.440
The Supreme Court, after almost one hundred and twenty five years,

1110
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:45.960
looked at the actual language of the Fourteenth Amendment and.

1111
00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:52.760
Said what everybody thought it meant when they actually adopted

1112
00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:57.000
it and then ratified it is, in fact.

1113
00:59:57.039 --> 01:00:03.000
What it means. The federal government may not use race

1114
01:00:03.440 --> 01:00:08.760
as a proxy for deciding who gets an advantage or

1115
01:00:08.800 --> 01:00:15.320
who is disadvantage, whether that's gerrymandering, whether that's so called

1116
01:00:15.559 --> 01:00:22.239
race based affirmative action, even government programs that like the

1117
01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:29.159
Biden administration created that just singled out certain races for eligibility.

1118
01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:35.639
The Supreme Court has flatly made it clear. And to me,

1119
01:00:36.679 --> 01:00:41.760
it's such a treasure to see that a black member

1120
01:00:41.840 --> 01:00:46.760
of the Supreme Court is standing firm in recognizing what

1121
01:00:46.880 --> 01:00:48.000
our founders intended.

1122
01:00:49.159 --> 01:00:52.440
It To me, it's it's so liberating. But like I said,

1123
01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:55.960
I'm frustrated inasmuch as that I want the rest of

1124
01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:58.760
the country to get caught up and really understand what

1125
01:00:58.800 --> 01:01:03.800
that represents, because you know, for most of my life, Horse,

1126
01:01:04.280 --> 01:01:07.360
I've been told that I'm prejudiced. Now I go, I don't,

1127
01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:09.880
I don't get it. I don't see it. You know,

1128
01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:11.960
I think I may have shared with you that, you know,

1129
01:01:12.039 --> 01:01:15.599
I grew up in a multi racial community and look

1130
01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:18.920
at you know, we played ball with all races and

1131
01:01:18.960 --> 01:01:21.920
creeds and colors and everything like that. And in Little League,

1132
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:24.360
we didn't care what color your skin was. Was gosh,

1133
01:01:24.360 --> 01:01:26.119
can you catch the darn ball? Can you get a

1134
01:01:26.199 --> 01:01:29.039
darning hit once in a while. You know that that's

1135
01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:31.400
that's all, that's all we cared about. We didn't care

1136
01:01:31.400 --> 01:01:32.280
about colored skin.

1137
01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:34.599
And then I go to college and all of a sudden,

1138
01:01:34.719 --> 01:01:37.119
you know, these same kids I grew up with, you know,

1139
01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:40.679
they're now involved with the Black Panthers, and they're shouting

1140
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:44.519
things at me that I'm going, well, what happened?

1141
01:01:44.559 --> 01:01:46.159
Did I miss a memo here or something?

1142
01:01:47.320 --> 01:01:47.480
You know.

1143
01:01:48.519 --> 01:01:52.679
It was a youth pastor that sat me down and said,

1144
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:58.840
there was a time during the period after Jesus's death

1145
01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:04.719
where there was a dispute that arose. Were the people

1146
01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:10.480
who called themselves practicing Jews considered better than the people

1147
01:02:10.880 --> 01:02:14.760
who were not Jewish at all, many of them were Greek,

1148
01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:19.800
but who had adopted the faith. And my youth pastor said,

1149
01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:25.480
when God said that he sent his only begotten son

1150
01:02:26.559 --> 01:02:30.360
to save the world, he meant the Greek and the

1151
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:35.039
Jew he wont the male and the female, and that

1152
01:02:35.039 --> 01:02:40.920
that's how God's love worked. And I heard that as

1153
01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:45.039
an eighth grader, and it just dawned on me. Wait

1154
01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:51.360
a second. If God doesn't see us differently because quote,

1155
01:02:51.440 --> 01:02:55.400
we have these immutable characteristics, why are we doing it?

1156
01:02:55.719 --> 01:03:01.480
And I have embarked on a lifetime of understanding. I'm

1157
01:03:01.480 --> 01:03:04.599
not perfect. I can't get up on the cross. But

1158
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:09.280
if God is open to the idea that we should

1159
01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:14.159
love every person regardless of their immutable characteristics, that's the

1160
01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:16.440
minimum that I should be able to join in and do.

1161
01:03:17.239 --> 01:03:20.880
Wow, how powerful in eighth grade. To have that kind

1162
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:24.239
of revelation and for it to take root in your heart.

1163
01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:28.559
That says a lot Horse Cooper about first of all

1164
01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:31.119
the youth pastor that talked to you and shared truth

1165
01:03:31.159 --> 01:03:33.480
with you like that. And for you, you know, to

1166
01:03:33.519 --> 01:03:36.679
have the character that could embrace that and understand that

1167
01:03:36.800 --> 01:03:41.480
is Godly wisdom, because you know that is a gift

1168
01:03:41.679 --> 01:03:44.760
from God. That is so liberating because at the end

1169
01:03:44.800 --> 01:03:47.480
of the day, as our good friend doctor ALBERTA. King

1170
01:03:47.480 --> 01:03:50.440
would repeatedly say to me, Bill, we're one blood.

1171
01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:55.400
Amen, right, And that's not full of the case. And

1172
01:03:55.639 --> 01:04:01.880
I have to say I today fill a special degree

1173
01:04:01.920 --> 01:04:08.000
of support for missionaries precisely because they bring a truth

1174
01:04:08.599 --> 01:04:12.480
that pills off the cover from the minds and eyes

1175
01:04:12.519 --> 01:04:15.599
of people and let them see the world as it

1176
01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:18.719
should be. All that we are doing at Project twenty

1177
01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:23.280
one is just saying, look, you know this is true.

1178
01:04:23.840 --> 01:04:29.280
You know there actually is no inherent difference between someone

1179
01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:32.679
who's right handed and someone who's left handed, someone who

1180
01:04:32.719 --> 01:04:36.400
has big feed, someone who is tall, someone who is short,

1181
01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:41.599
someone who has small feed. And yet the left has

1182
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:48.039
weaponized these kinds of distinctions. And you know, just as

1183
01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:55.400
an example, when they were doing their election gerrymandering activities,

1184
01:04:55.840 --> 01:05:02.519
they specifically were saying special treat for people solely on

1185
01:05:02.599 --> 01:05:05.599
the basis of race. That's not what we fought for,

1186
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:12.840
that's not what we sacrifice for. Our constitution embodies these

1187
01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:18.039
Christian principles, and whenever you're jumping away from those Christian principles,

1188
01:05:18.280 --> 01:05:21.000
you need to review and look and see where you are.

1189
01:05:21.840 --> 01:05:23.679
And the bottom line of all this horse is that

1190
01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:25.800
they've been doing. Like you said, this has gone on

1191
01:05:25.840 --> 01:05:27.760
for over one hundred years. This is what we've been

1192
01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:30.719
told how we're supposed to believe. And then you try

1193
01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:33.280
and square it up with what God says, and it's

1194
01:05:33.280 --> 01:05:36.119
almost like I can hear God, you know, shouting to us,

1195
01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:39.599
like he did speak ever so gently and pointedly to

1196
01:05:39.639 --> 01:05:41.119
Adam and Eve who told you that?

1197
01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:42.039
Right?

1198
01:05:42.639 --> 01:05:48.360
Yeah, absolutely. You know, here's my irony. If someone came

1199
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:52.440
to me and I was super super thirsty, I almost

1200
01:05:52.480 --> 01:05:55.440
felt like I was going to pass out, and they said, oh,

1201
01:05:55.719 --> 01:05:58.079
just go right over here to the right ten feet

1202
01:05:58.440 --> 01:06:03.519
there's a faucet. I would be grateful, But the left says,

1203
01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:07.880
how dare you intervene in that way? But so judgmental?

1204
01:06:08.199 --> 01:06:13.000
Maybe they don't want to go right. It is unbelievable

1205
01:06:13.079 --> 01:06:17.840
to see the level of hostility that the left has

1206
01:06:18.239 --> 01:06:23.159
to the very types of knowledge that actually freese human

1207
01:06:23.239 --> 01:06:25.320
beings and brings them happiness.

1208
01:06:26.440 --> 01:06:29.159
It is that ongoing battle of good and evil and

1209
01:06:29.199 --> 01:06:32.000
those that you know, As the Bible says, it's not

1210
01:06:32.039 --> 01:06:35.440
against flush and flesh and bone. It's the spirit of

1211
01:06:35.480 --> 01:06:40.159
this world. These spirits that operate in darkness and are hidden,

1212
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:44.039
those are the ones that we're warring against, not those

1213
01:06:44.119 --> 01:06:46.719
that we see in front of us that are flesh

1214
01:06:46.719 --> 01:06:48.559
and blood. We've got to go to quick break. Stay

1215
01:06:48.599 --> 01:06:51.360
with us. We've got more from Horace Cooper right after this.

1216
01:06:53.719 --> 01:06:56.800
Millions of people of all ages have speech, language, or

1217
01:06:56.800 --> 01:07:00.800
hearing difficulties. A new national poll finds that communityation breakdowns

1218
01:07:00.920 --> 01:07:03.840
frequently occur between caregivers and the people in their care,

1219
01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:07.679
causing an array of potentially serious problems. US caregivers of

1220
01:07:07.719 --> 01:07:11.360
adults with communication difficulties were polled. The American Speech Language

1221
01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:15.360
Hearing Association ASHA commissioned the poll and Yugov conducted it.

1222
01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:19.239
The poll revealed caregivers are concerned that communication breakdowns could

1223
01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:22.440
hinder addressing medical problems and cause other safety issues that

1224
01:07:22.480 --> 01:07:24.360
put at risk the health of the person in need

1225
01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:27.760
of care. ASHA President Linda Rosa Lugo here.

1226

From an audiologist or a speech language pathologist can improve

1227
01:07:31.519 --> 01:07:35.079
daily life for those with communication disorders and for their

1228
01:07:35.119 --> 01:07:38.679
caregivers as their doctor or others on their team for

1229
01:07:38.760 --> 01:07:42.360
a referral. The care is often covered by insurance at

1230
01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:46.280
least in some capacity, and it can truly be life altering.

01:11:54.640 --> 01:11:57.520
Welcome back. Bill Martinez here with a former constitutional law professor,

1310
01:11:57.600 --> 01:12:01.479
recognized legal commentator and co chair Project twenty one National

1311
01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:05.479
Advisory Board, Oris I guests to put a bow around

1312
01:12:05.880 --> 01:12:10.520
what we were talking about previously. You know again, just

1313
01:12:10.640 --> 01:12:13.680
like it took, you know, it took some decades for

1314
01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:16.640
people to realize that the chains have been cut off

1315
01:12:16.960 --> 01:12:20.600
that were free, and it may take some healing and

1316
01:12:20.680 --> 01:12:24.319
some awareness to realize that, yes, it's not about the

1317
01:12:24.319 --> 01:12:27.800
color of our skin. It is, as doctor King said,

1318
01:12:28.199 --> 01:12:29.520
the content of our character.

1319
01:12:29.560 --> 01:12:33.119
After all, right, yeah, so Bill, I'm gonna compliment you,

1320
01:12:33.199 --> 01:12:36.279
but I mean it in a sincere way. You work

1321
01:12:36.520 --> 01:12:41.399
hard to make your program something that is of value

1322
01:12:41.960 --> 01:12:46.159
to your audience. If it wasn't a value, you wouldn't

1323
01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:51.800
keep your audience. What the Left says is that what

1324
01:12:52.039 --> 01:12:57.119
you have, what you have created, is something unique and

1325
01:12:57.479 --> 01:13:01.680
is unfair. It's not at your hard work, it's not

1326
01:13:01.760 --> 01:13:06.640
about your sacrifice. It's just some lottery that you have

1327
01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:11.840
been given. And that advice is so awful. But that's

1328
01:13:11.880 --> 01:13:15.920
the advice that the left gives people when they say

1329
01:13:16.479 --> 01:13:20.760
sleep in, don't worry about working, don't study, don't do

1330
01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:24.720
your homework. If your boss gives you an assignment and

1331
01:13:24.760 --> 01:13:28.439
you don't like it, just don't do it. This is

1332
01:13:28.840 --> 01:13:35.079
awful advice. And this is what the Left does generally.

1333
01:13:35.880 --> 01:13:39.920
They say to people, many of whom really need to

1334
01:13:39.960 --> 01:13:46.479
hear the truth to undertake the absolutely worst ideas. We're

1335
01:13:46.520 --> 01:13:51.840
watching this in Texas where a young man killed another

1336
01:13:51.960 --> 01:13:55.399
young man, and the Left wants us to believe that

1337
01:13:55.560 --> 01:13:59.800
the only reason why the living young man was punished

1338
01:14:00.239 --> 01:14:03.920
was because of his race, not because of the dastardly

1339
01:14:04.119 --> 01:14:05.439
thing that he did.

1340
01:14:06.279 --> 01:14:10.079
Exactly. Well, this is what the left prays on, you know,

1341
01:14:10.239 --> 01:14:13.760
and and everything that you just shared, horace, And this

1342
01:14:13.840 --> 01:14:19.159
is what I've become more observant of is that the

1343
01:14:19.279 --> 01:14:21.960
Left is committed to dumbing everybody down.

1344
01:14:22.359 --> 01:14:22.680
Amen.

1345
01:14:22.800 --> 01:14:29.079
They want to mediocritize everybody because a mediocre constituency is

1346
01:14:29.520 --> 01:14:31.439
easier to be manipulated. Right.

1347
01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:36.159
Well, again, it's easier to sleep in than it is

1348
01:14:36.199 --> 01:14:40.039
to get up and work. It's easier to shirk off

1349
01:14:40.199 --> 01:14:44.800
and blame your boss for being overbearing than to shoulder

1350
01:14:45.159 --> 01:14:49.520
the burden and do the work. If I had been

1351
01:14:49.800 --> 01:14:54.600
in the life of the Carmelo family, Camelo Anthony Fan Anthony,

1352
01:14:55.319 --> 01:14:58.880
I would have said as soon as this happened. We're

1353
01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:02.159
going down to the sheriff office. You're going to acknowledge

1354
01:15:02.359 --> 01:15:06.520
what you did wrong, and you're saying, I plan to

1355
01:15:06.680 --> 01:15:11.399
plead and I'll accept whatever the sanction was. What the

1356
01:15:11.520 --> 01:15:16.159
left says is it's okay to pretend that you have

1357
01:15:16.359 --> 01:15:21.239
no idea what happened. This case was a slam dunk case.

1358
01:15:21.399 --> 01:15:27.640
It wasn't complicated, It didn't require a lot of intuition

1359
01:15:28.159 --> 01:15:33.680
to comprehend what had occurred. This wasn't a provoked event.

1360
01:15:34.159 --> 01:15:38.840
This was a pre planned event. But if mom and

1361
01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:43.640
dad had gone in and just simply said, my son

1362
01:15:44.119 --> 01:15:49.319
acted in anger and hate and he understands it was wrong,

1363
01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:52.800
there would not have been a thirty five year sentence.

1364
01:15:53.319 --> 01:15:59.159
But when you make the prosecutor room what everybody knows

1365
01:15:59.479 --> 01:16:05.479
actually happens, and then you refuse, you refuse to admit it.

1366
01:16:05.479 --> 01:16:09.199
It is ironic to only a few on the left

1367
01:16:09.680 --> 01:16:12.439
that the only time the young man cried was when

1368
01:16:12.439 --> 01:16:15.680
he was found guilty, and when he was given a sentence.

1369
01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:20.800
At no point, hearing about the loss of life of

1370
01:16:20.840 --> 01:16:25.439
the person whose life he destroyed, did he even tear up.

1371
01:16:26.479 --> 01:16:30.520
That is what the left says, Well, you don't have

1372
01:16:30.600 --> 01:16:34.199
to be responsible. You don't have to act with care.

1373
01:16:34.680 --> 01:16:37.079
You know what, It's not easy to go in and

1374
01:16:37.119 --> 01:16:41.239
admit you did something wrong exactly well, because his parents

1375
01:16:41.880 --> 01:16:45.560
didn't agree to stand up and do what was right

1376
01:16:45.880 --> 01:16:49.920
and what was godly, their son is looking at thirty

1377
01:16:50.000 --> 01:16:51.399
five years behind bars.

1378
01:16:52.680 --> 01:16:54.760
You know, this is such a heartbreak, you know, for

1379
01:16:54.840 --> 01:16:58.960
both families. I feel for both of them truly, and

1380
01:16:59.239 --> 01:17:01.840
but you know, let's pause for a minute and consider

1381
01:17:02.479 --> 01:17:06.079
this is the fruit of our current society, and this

1382
01:17:06.159 --> 01:17:09.560
would happened right. I mean, this is a societal issue,

1383
01:17:09.960 --> 01:17:12.399
and I think it's an opportunity for all of us

1384
01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:17.960
to consider, you know, what's happened here. Yes, Carmelo Anthony

1385
01:17:18.039 --> 01:17:20.840
is going to jail for thirty five years, but this

1386
01:17:20.920 --> 01:17:24.399
is you know, we've got to think about. Is this

1387
01:17:24.439 --> 01:17:26.680
the best we can do for our young kids is

1388
01:17:26.720 --> 01:17:30.079
to give them a purpose and a plan to go

1389
01:17:30.239 --> 01:17:32.960
and murder somebody again.

1390
01:17:33.880 --> 01:17:38.439
At no point was this a hard case. It's a

1391
01:17:38.479 --> 01:17:42.560
sad case. It's sad for both families. It's a very

1392
01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:45.520
very sad case. But it would have been in my

1393
01:17:46.239 --> 01:17:50.960
situation with my grandmother and my mother and father, they

1394
01:17:50.960 --> 01:17:54.520
would have marched me right down. I walked out of

1395
01:17:54.560 --> 01:17:59.079
a store once with emin ms, the chocolate with the

1396
01:17:59.079 --> 01:18:00.000
peanuts inside.

1397
01:18:00.119 --> 01:18:00.239
Yes.

1398
01:18:00.439 --> 01:18:06.560
Oh, when my father saw me with that, he realized

1399
01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:11.479
instantly that I hadn't paid for it. And guess what,

1400
01:18:12.119 --> 01:18:17.039
after I put some sav on my backside, some of

1401
01:18:17.119 --> 01:18:22.880
us went back to hand this open bag over to

1402
01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:27.920
the clerk, apologized, and then I watched my father pay

1403
01:18:27.960 --> 01:18:31.479
for it. I didn't get to keep those eminemsself. That's

1404
01:18:32.000 --> 01:18:38.119
leadership that tubles the right kind of behavior. When this

1405
01:18:38.239 --> 01:18:44.600
young man told his parents what they should have understood immediately,

1406
01:18:45.760 --> 01:18:49.560
that he was provoked, that it was just a fight

1407
01:18:49.720 --> 01:18:55.319
that broke out when his parents and the people who

1408
01:18:55.520 --> 01:18:59.840
nurtured him heard that story, instead of setting up a

1409
01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:03.239
fund where they got more than half a million dollars

1410
01:19:03.520 --> 01:19:07.600
so that they claim that being black is the only

1411
01:19:07.760 --> 01:19:12.920
reason these charges were filed. Exactly, a death occurred, That's

1412
01:19:12.960 --> 01:19:16.520
why charges were filed, and no person stood up to

1413
01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:18.039
accept responsibility.

1414
01:19:18.640 --> 01:19:19.239
Yeah.

1415
01:19:19.279 --> 01:19:22.399
Well, speaking of which, you know the things that have

1416
01:19:22.520 --> 01:19:26.399
been used for fundraising. The SPLC does not have a

1417
01:19:26.399 --> 01:19:27.399
good look here right now.

1418
01:19:27.439 --> 01:19:34.199
Horus Cooper, absolutely, Southern Poverty Law Center has been wrong

1419
01:19:34.640 --> 01:19:40.439
for a while by identifying so many people of faith

1420
01:19:41.119 --> 01:19:48.159
as terrorists, as advererance, as people who were dangerous, people

1421
01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:53.880
who threatened, and of course the mighty powerful word bigots

1422
01:19:54.000 --> 01:20:00.239
and racist. They labeled people like doctor Ben Carson as.

1423
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:05.279
Right never find out, Yeah, now we.

1424
01:20:05.199 --> 01:20:11.239
Find out that there's not enough bigotry and racism in America.

1425
01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:17.439
So the SPLC went and contracted out to get more

1426
01:20:17.640 --> 01:20:22.920
racism and bigotry in America that they then used as

1427
01:20:22.960 --> 01:20:28.359
a basis for explaining why they played such an important role.

1428
01:20:28.880 --> 01:20:34.079
This is awful that a group that was formed at

1429
01:20:34.119 --> 01:20:39.319
a time when my grandparents needed someone to stand up

1430
01:20:39.399 --> 01:20:43.640
for them and protect them, that they would now turn

1431
01:20:43.720 --> 01:20:48.319
into a group that would condemn my grandparents for the

1432
01:20:48.319 --> 01:20:51.840
thoughts that they had for being great Christian people, for

1433
01:20:52.159 --> 01:20:58.159
understanding the biblical principles and integrity guide our lives. Now

1434
01:20:58.239 --> 01:21:03.560
the SPOC is the enemy of that kind of upright

1435
01:21:04.239 --> 01:21:09.359
just behavior on the part of faith based communities. I

1436
01:21:09.479 --> 01:21:13.319
guess it's just ironic that we caught them at this

1437
01:21:13.920 --> 01:21:18.720
and now they're likely to be labeled the very bigots

1438
01:21:18.960 --> 01:21:21.640
that they used to label others.

1439
01:21:21.680 --> 01:21:24.800
And they've maintained their position I mean and doubled down,

1440
01:21:25.159 --> 01:21:27.399
I mean horace. The conversation that you and I've had,

1441
01:21:28.039 --> 01:21:33.840
based on their own standards, could be declared as hate speech.

1442
01:21:35.119 --> 01:21:35.960
Well absolutely.

1443
01:21:36.000 --> 01:21:42.199
I mean, look, people used their list of locations and

1444
01:21:42.399 --> 01:21:49.279
organizations and engaged in not just hateful rhetoric, but actual

1445
01:21:49.960 --> 01:21:55.399
violence exactly. Charley Kirk's not alive today, and it's partly

1446
01:21:55.560 --> 01:22:01.840
because this group and groups like it had an unfair narrative.

1447
01:22:02.079 --> 01:22:04.920
It wasn't well, maybe you don't agree with Charlie Kirk,

1448
01:22:05.159 --> 01:22:11.479
it was. He was the embodiment of hate, hostility, and bigotry,

1449
01:22:11.920 --> 01:22:17.800
and some sick people hear this message and they respond.

1450
01:22:17.600 --> 01:22:21.960
With violence exactly. He's the former constitutional law professor, recognized

1451
01:22:22.039 --> 01:22:24.880
legal commentator, and co chair of the Project twenty one

1452

1519
01:26:08.039 --> 01:26:09.800
have you with us. For more information on the show,

1520
01:26:09.800 --> 01:26:12.760
you go to Bill Martinez Live dot com. We're going

1521
01:26:12.840 --> 01:26:17.079
to talk about the oncologycare landscape that's evolving rapidly with

1522
01:26:17.479 --> 01:26:21.760
new treatments, technologies, and approaches emerging every year. And while

1523
01:26:21.760 --> 01:26:26.119
these advancements are improving patient outcomes, they are also introducing

1524
01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:31.760
new complexities for healthcare providers navigating increasingly sophisticated care decisions.

1525
01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:34.920
And this is according to findings from Johnson and Johnson

1526
01:26:35.279 --> 01:26:39.960
Oncology Care Index, nearly three in four providers say the

1527
01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:44.600
pace of ecology innovation is overwhelming, underscoring the growing gap

1528
01:26:44.640 --> 01:26:48.880
between rapid clinical progress and the realities of care delivery.

1529
01:26:49.159 --> 01:26:52.119
Here with us today to talk more about it is

1530
01:26:52.600 --> 01:26:56.560
Donna Catamaro. She's an associate director with Myloma Research at

1531
01:26:56.600 --> 01:27:01.039
Mount Sinai Heal System, and Rebecca Moran, phosician assistant at

1532
01:27:01.039 --> 01:27:05.880
Petemont Cancer Institute. In Noonan, Rebecca, and Don, and welcome Michelle.

1533
01:27:05.880 --> 01:27:06.920
Good to have you with us.

1534
01:27:07.600 --> 01:27:10.760
Thank you for having us today. I just first want

1535
01:27:10.800 --> 01:27:14.119
to start off by saying we both have worked closely

1536
01:27:14.199 --> 01:27:16.560
with Johnson and Johnson to be able to discuss the

1537
01:27:16.600 --> 01:27:20.800
evolving cancer care landscape and the role that we provide

1538
01:27:20.880 --> 01:27:23.920
as advanced practice providers or apps.

1539
01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:27.520
Well, excellent, Well, this question is for both of you,

1540
01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:31.159
So don, I guess we can start off with you first,

1541
01:27:31.439 --> 01:27:35.000
walk us through your roles as advanced practice providers. What

1542
01:27:35.039 --> 01:27:37.920
does that mean and how do you support patients?

1543
01:27:38.720 --> 01:27:41.800
So I'm a nurse practitioner, which means that I hold

1544
01:27:41.840 --> 01:27:46.680
an advanced nursing degree, so I'm able to prescribe, treat patients,

1545
01:27:46.840 --> 01:27:51.439
manage patients. I help support patients, I manage side effects,

1546
01:27:51.520 --> 01:27:56.119
I coordinate their care. And as that treatment landscape becomes

1547
01:27:56.159 --> 01:28:00.680
more complex, so we have targeted therapies, cellular therapies. You know,

1548
01:28:00.800 --> 01:28:03.760
I help guide my patients through their treatment journey. So

1549
01:28:04.319 --> 01:28:07.479
you know, we do know that care teams that incorporate

1550
01:28:07.640 --> 01:28:13.159
advanced practice providers, we know that patients have better outcomes.

1551
01:28:13.479 --> 01:28:15.439
Exactly, Becky, how about you.

1552
01:28:16.199 --> 01:28:18.680
So I'm a physician assistant. I primarily work in the

1553
01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:21.840
hospital setting, so I get to support patients throughout their

1554
01:28:21.880 --> 01:28:24.279
cancer journey, in the many phases of it. So sometimes

1555
01:28:24.319 --> 01:28:28.039
I'm sitting with people at diagnosis, explaining kind of what's happening,

1556
01:28:28.239 --> 01:28:31.319
what needs to be done, providing them with emotional support.

1557
01:28:31.600 --> 01:28:34.720
Sometimes I'm sitting with them after they're having some side

1558
01:28:34.720 --> 01:28:38.520
effects from treatment or side effects or complications from their cancer,

1559
01:28:38.600 --> 01:28:41.319
and I'm managing their symptoms, trying to help them feel

1560
01:28:41.359 --> 01:28:43.880
as best as they can. And sometimes when my patients

1561
01:28:43.920 --> 01:28:46.079
are admitted to the hospital, I'm just able to check

1562
01:28:46.119 --> 01:28:48.840
in on them. We build a really strong relationship because

1563
01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:50.600
of how often we're seeing them. So if I can

1564
01:28:50.600 --> 01:28:52.479
provide them with some comfort, I like to do.

1565
01:28:52.399 --> 01:28:55.640
That and Donn, as we suggested, dealing with cancer can

1566
01:28:55.640 --> 01:28:59.720
be very complex. How do you help patients understand their options?

1567
01:29:00.359 --> 01:29:04.640
Yeah, so I'm very specialized, so I specialize in blood cancers,

1568
01:29:04.640 --> 01:29:09.159
in particular multiple miloma. Because I'm so specialized, I need

1569
01:29:09.159 --> 01:29:14.279
to be up to date on this evolving landscapes. So

1570
01:29:14.840 --> 01:29:19.800
I make sure that I again up to date with

1571
01:29:20.079 --> 01:29:22.960
clinical data. And we know that clinical data can be

1572
01:29:23.000 --> 01:29:27.319
published every hour on the hour, so it's rapidly evolving

1573
01:29:27.640 --> 01:29:30.279
and I need to be able to translate what that

1574
01:29:30.399 --> 01:29:35.159
means for my patients. So being part of that multidisciplinary team,

1575
01:29:35.399 --> 01:29:40.279
I do actually help shape my patients treatment strategies and options.

1576
01:29:41.199 --> 01:29:44.079
As a nurse practitioner, I do play a role in

1577
01:29:44.239 --> 01:29:47.800
helping patients understand their options and then making them feel

1578
01:29:47.800 --> 01:29:51.600
comfortable about their decisions. And I know many patients have

1579
01:29:51.720 --> 01:29:54.640
said that they feel more comfortable coming to myself as

1580
01:29:54.640 --> 01:29:58.640
a nurse practitioner and to Rebecca as a physician assistant

1581
01:29:58.760 --> 01:30:01.720
with their questions compared to maybe other members of the

1582
01:30:01.720 --> 01:30:03.880
healthcare team.

1583
01:30:03.880 --> 01:30:07.279
Because as Donna suggesting him, this is very dynamic. I mean,

1584
01:30:07.399 --> 01:30:10.600
you've got to constantly be aware of what's going on

1585
01:30:11.159 --> 01:30:14.840
as you you know, work with what some would refer

1586
01:30:14.920 --> 01:30:18.000
to as these these gaps in support for patients or

1587
01:30:18.039 --> 01:30:19.359
care partners today. Right.

1588
01:30:20.520 --> 01:30:22.720
Yes, So I think that education is the biggest gap

1589
01:30:22.760 --> 01:30:25.600
that we have. We need to be able to communicate

1590
01:30:25.640 --> 01:30:30.279
with our patients all of these new ideas and new treatments,

1591
01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:34.479
and I think that with my patient's demographic, it's important

1592
01:30:34.479 --> 01:30:36.520
that we educate that not all cancer is created the

1593
01:30:36.520 --> 01:30:38.680
same and it's not all treated the same. I've had

1594
01:30:38.720 --> 01:30:41.359
a lot of patients that come to me and say, well,

1595
01:30:41.399 --> 01:30:43.560
I've had a family or a family member or a

1596
01:30:43.560 --> 01:30:45.479
friend that had a really difficult cancer journey, and I

1597
01:30:45.520 --> 01:30:48.119
don't even want to mess with this. And I think

1598
01:30:48.119 --> 01:30:50.159
it's important that we talk to them about what we're doing,

1599
01:30:50.239 --> 01:30:53.000
why we're doing it, the potential outcomes, so they can

1600
01:30:53.000 --> 01:30:56.960
make an educated decision based on their specific cancer journey

1601
01:30:56.960 --> 01:30:58.760
and not somebody else's exactly.

1602
01:30:59.319 --> 01:31:03.359
Donna, As you're explaining that this is quite dynamic, I

1603
01:31:03.399 --> 01:31:07.079
got to imagine so much just changed when you first entered,

1604
01:31:07.479 --> 01:31:08.960
you know, the profession, right.

1605
01:31:09.199 --> 01:31:12.439
Yeah, so that's twenty plus years ago. You know, I

1606
01:31:12.479 --> 01:31:16.119
started caring for my love my patients, and I actually

1607
01:31:16.119 --> 01:31:19.600
had very very few treatment options that I could offer

1608
01:31:19.640 --> 01:31:23.720
my patients. And now in twenty twenty six, you know,

1609
01:31:23.720 --> 01:31:26.479
we need to stop looking. There's this stigma attached to

1610
01:31:26.520 --> 01:31:29.760
the word cancer, and so the cancer is becoming more

1611
01:31:29.800 --> 01:31:34.039
of a chronic illness and not a terminal illness. That

1612
01:31:34.159 --> 01:31:37.800
landscape evolved and it's different from what it was twenty

1613
01:31:37.920 --> 01:31:43.000
years ago. So we have this rapidly evolving landscape and

1614
01:31:43.039 --> 01:31:45.600
almost like a wealth of riches that I can all

1615
01:31:45.640 --> 01:31:49.359
these treatment options I can offer my patients. So innovation

1616
01:31:49.479 --> 01:31:52.640
and care right has greatly improved outcomes and I think

1617
01:31:52.640 --> 01:31:56.640
more importantly quality of life. So my role I need

1618
01:31:56.680 --> 01:32:00.520
to close that gap between the pace of innovation and

1619
01:32:00.600 --> 01:32:04.359
the realities of care delivery. So you know what, all

1620
01:32:04.359 --> 01:32:08.000
these novel therapies are being approved for patients, and I

1621
01:32:08.079 --> 01:32:10.439
need to make sure that the right therapy gets to.

1622
01:32:10.439 --> 01:32:15.359
The right patient exactly. Becky is someone newer to oncology.

1623
01:32:15.720 --> 01:32:19.079
What challenges did you face early on and how are

1624
01:32:19.119 --> 01:32:22.479
you building confidence in navigating cancer care?

1625
01:32:23.359 --> 01:32:26.560
So oncology it's a different world. So treatment options are

1626
01:32:26.640 --> 01:32:29.039
changing quickly, which is great for our patients and great

1627
01:32:29.039 --> 01:32:31.560
for outcomes, but it can be really challenging to a

1628
01:32:31.600 --> 01:32:35.199
newer app in this world. So staying up to date

1629
01:32:35.239 --> 01:32:39.279
on our continuing medical education, reading articles, doing our research

1630
01:32:39.359 --> 01:32:42.000
is so important. And I think with every patient I see,

1631
01:32:42.119 --> 01:32:45.520
I build more confidence than I can learn something from everyone.

1632
01:32:45.960 --> 01:32:48.560
Right, Donna, as you were explaining earlier, I got to

1633
01:32:48.600 --> 01:32:52.000
imagine for patients who come in because you have lots

1634
01:32:52.000 --> 01:32:57.119
of questions and you know everything that we've heard in

1635
01:32:57.199 --> 01:33:01.640
traditionally about cancer, and you come with a lot of

1636
01:33:01.800 --> 01:33:05.560
information to kind of calm people's fears and give them,

1637
01:33:06.199 --> 01:33:09.680
you know, if I if I can say a healing perspective,

1638
01:33:09.760 --> 01:33:10.239
is that fair?

1639
01:33:10.800 --> 01:33:14.920
Yeah, I think that's very fair. Yeah. We I think again,

1640
01:33:15.159 --> 01:33:19.319
we have multiple touch points with patients. Whereas a patient

1641
01:33:19.399 --> 01:33:21.279
might come in and see their doctor maybe once a

1642
01:33:21.319 --> 01:33:24.319
month or once every few months, we're seeing patients maybe

1643
01:33:24.359 --> 01:33:26.760
on a weekly basis while they're getting their treatment, so

1644
01:33:26.880 --> 01:33:29.760
we're you know, we're seeing the patient more often, we're

1645
01:33:29.760 --> 01:33:33.439
managing their side effects, and I think that's why, you know,

1646
01:33:33.479 --> 01:33:37.079
patients build a comfort level with us, you know, and

1647
01:33:37.199 --> 01:33:38.399
asking us questions.

1648
01:33:39.279 --> 01:33:39.479
Right.

1649
01:33:39.760 --> 01:33:44.079
Yeah, I think patients want options, don't they? Yes, right exactly,

1650
01:33:44.520 --> 01:33:48.359
And Donna, you know you mentioned education, but also mentorship

1651
01:33:48.920 --> 01:33:52.399
plays a role here too, right, Explain that to our audience.

1652
01:33:52.720 --> 01:33:54.840
So when I was a new nurse, I had some

1653
01:33:54.920 --> 01:33:57.159
of the best mentors and I think they shaped me

1654
01:33:57.279 --> 01:33:59.600
into the nurse I am today. So I feel like

1655
01:33:59.680 --> 01:34:03.199
it's responsibility to pay it forward. So I do work

1656
01:34:03.319 --> 01:34:07.880
very closely with newer providers such as Rebecca, and I

1657
01:34:07.920 --> 01:34:13.439
help them build their clinical judgment, navigate these complex patient cases,

1658
01:34:13.880 --> 01:34:16.960
and hopefully I'm growing their confidence so that they can

1659
01:34:17.000 --> 01:34:22.159
provide quality care. I'm also involved in cancer research, so

1660
01:34:22.960 --> 01:34:26.760
I help educate providers on the emerging data and how

1661
01:34:26.800 --> 01:34:28.600
that's going to lead to practice changes.

1662
01:34:30.359 --> 01:34:34.319
Becky, how rewarding is this for you? I can tell

1663
01:34:34.359 --> 01:34:36.600
by the look on your face that this seems to

1664
01:34:36.640 --> 01:34:40.159
be a very rewarding career and profession for you.

1665
01:34:41.239 --> 01:34:43.680
I think that it's a hard profession to be in.

1666
01:34:43.800 --> 01:34:46.880
There's a lot of what can seem like negative things,

1667
01:34:46.880 --> 01:34:49.039
a lot of heavy things, a lot of heavy conversations.

1668
01:34:49.680 --> 01:34:52.119
But I think being able to be there for someone,

1669
01:34:52.279 --> 01:34:55.319
with being someone being their rock, someone they can trust

1670
01:34:56.000 --> 01:35:00.279
in helping them, there are some joyful conversations or some

1671
01:35:00.880 --> 01:35:03.880
joyful outcomes, and I think that those outweigh any of

1672
01:35:03.920 --> 01:35:06.079
the hard times that we deal with. So I think

1673
01:35:06.079 --> 01:35:07.800
it's a passion of mine to be able to help

1674
01:35:07.840 --> 01:35:11.640
these people all the positives along with all the negatives.

1675
01:35:12.039 --> 01:35:14.960
So what advice do you have for newer apps?

1676
01:35:16.119 --> 01:35:20.760
Lean into the learning curve, ask questions, find great mentors

1677
01:35:20.800 --> 01:35:23.399
like Donna. That's actually what led me to work with

1678
01:35:23.479 --> 01:35:27.680
Johnson and Johnston. They have a new to Oncology education module.

1679
01:35:27.720 --> 01:35:29.880
It's really great for newer apps, and they have a

1680
01:35:29.880 --> 01:35:33.920
lot of information about diseases for not only apps, but

1681
01:35:33.960 --> 01:35:37.640
also for patients. You can find it on apps make

1682
01:35:37.680 --> 01:35:40.439
It Happen dot Com. So app s Make It Happen

1683
01:35:40.520 --> 01:35:41.760
dot Com.

1684
01:35:41.640 --> 01:35:45.760
And Donna, I'm sure it equally important is listening to

1685
01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:46.680
the patient? Right?

1686
01:35:47.159 --> 01:35:52.560
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, because again I think being able, being

1687
01:35:52.600 --> 01:35:56.720
more patient facing, we have that opportunity to listen to

1688
01:35:56.760 --> 01:35:57.479
our patients.

1689
01:35:58.319 --> 01:36:01.399
Well as we wrap things up one time, Remind everybody

1690
01:36:01.399 --> 01:36:05.119
where they can go for more information if you would, Donna.

1691
01:36:04.279 --> 01:36:09.600
Sure it's apps Make it Happen dot Com or apps

1692
01:36:09.720 --> 01:36:11.039

1693
01:36:11.640 --> 01:36:15.399
Well, Donna Catamaro and Becky Moran, thank you so much

1694
01:36:15.399 --> 01:36:17.560

doing great?

1770
01:40:31.359 --> 01:40:32.000
Good to see Bill.

1771
01:40:32.239 --> 01:40:35.560
Hey, always good to catch up with you. Let's talk

1772
01:40:35.600 --> 01:40:43.720
about the latest Barack Obama's Presidential Center his official dedication ceremony, right.

1773
01:40:44.720 --> 01:40:48.199
Yeah, yeah, the uh that is that is a monstrosity

1774
01:40:48.239 --> 01:40:50.399
of a building. By the way, I know that we're

1775
01:40:50.399 --> 01:40:52.199
not going to talk about the architecture of it, but

1776
01:40:52.239 --> 01:40:54.199
that is that is an ugly piece of work.

1777
01:40:54.680 --> 01:40:56.840
Yeah. No, I you know, there's not much to be

1778
01:40:56.920 --> 01:40:59.399
said about it. I mean, it looks almost like a jail.

1779
01:41:00.199 --> 01:41:02.680
And then the library. I don't know, that was my

1780
01:41:02.760 --> 01:41:05.199
first impression. I thought, what and then here it is

1781
01:41:05.520 --> 01:41:09.439
all the money that it costs and uh, you know

1782
01:41:09.520 --> 01:41:13.159
the overruns on it, you know, but well it's Barack Obama,

1783
01:41:13.239 --> 01:41:15.920
you know, it's his uh, his vanity project. I guess

1784
01:41:16.319 --> 01:41:19.640
all presidents should have a vanity project. I think, I guess, right.

1785
01:41:20.840 --> 01:41:23.039
Yeah, I mean what what separates this? Of course, and

1786
01:41:23.079 --> 01:41:25.319
this this has been brought up many times by people

1787
01:41:25.359 --> 01:41:27.880
smarter than I. But what separates this from a standard

1788
01:41:27.880 --> 01:41:33.680
presidential library is that it's it's technically not affiliated with

1789
01:41:33.680 --> 01:41:35.760
with the government in the same way. And so because

1790
01:41:35.760 --> 01:41:37.960
of that, there's there's no requirement for him to include

1791
01:41:38.000 --> 01:41:40.199
anything that he doesn't want to include. So this is

1792
01:41:40.600 --> 01:41:43.880
this is a lot more a like a worshipful monument

1793
01:41:44.039 --> 01:41:48.159
to the man Barack Obama, as opposed to the presidency

1794
01:41:48.319 --> 01:41:50.359
of Barack Obama being documented.

1795
01:41:50.960 --> 01:41:54.399
Right. Well, and this isn't paid with tax money.

1796
01:41:54.159 --> 01:41:54.399
Is it?

1797
01:41:56.600 --> 01:42:01.439
I don't believe it is, but I probably wrong. I mean,

1798
01:42:01.720 --> 01:42:04.720
there's there's I have no idea how some of the

1799
01:42:04.760 --> 01:42:07.079
funding for this works. There are so many confusing channels.

1800
01:42:07.319 --> 01:42:09.800
There's probably some degree of government money that goes into it,

1801
01:42:09.840 --> 01:42:12.760
but it wouldn't not the same amount that would be

1802
01:42:12.800 --> 01:42:16.000
if it was like an actual presidential library.

1803
01:42:15.800 --> 01:42:18.239
Right exactly. Well, you know the thing is, speaking of

1804
01:42:18.239 --> 01:42:21.359
Barack Obama, it seems that as the years go by

1805
01:42:21.720 --> 01:42:25.279
and we're able to look, you know, back on his presidency.

1806
01:42:26.560 --> 01:42:29.760
You know, in his closing days, he insisted that his

1807
01:42:29.840 --> 01:42:33.319
presidency was scandal free, which was quite shocking to many

1808
01:42:33.319 --> 01:42:35.000
of us who were there.

1809
01:42:35.920 --> 01:42:36.079
And and.

1810
01:42:38.039 --> 01:42:40.680
You know, we don't have to go way back in history,

1811
01:42:41.239 --> 01:42:44.520
you know, to see the time again there were many scandals,

1812
01:42:44.640 --> 01:42:47.359
but he insisted that his was scandal free.

1813
01:42:47.479 --> 01:42:49.039
Right, Yeah.

1814
01:42:49.079 --> 01:42:52.039
I mean what's funny is is that that talking point

1815
01:42:52.039 --> 01:42:55.239
has been laundered into like a media narrative to the

1816
01:42:55.279 --> 01:42:57.119
extent that I think a lot of people forget that

1817
01:42:57.119 --> 01:43:02.439
that originated from Barack Obama. And the kind of sad

1818
01:43:02.520 --> 01:43:06.960
thing is he is technically correct if you choose to

1819
01:43:06.960 --> 01:43:12.000
define scandal as anything that the media turned into a

1820
01:43:12.079 --> 01:43:15.880
national scandal. Right, So if the corporate media have to

1821
01:43:17.239 --> 01:43:20.439
treat this like it's a terrible thing for something to

1822
01:43:20.520 --> 01:43:23.159
be a scandal, then yeah, I guess his presidency was

1823
01:43:23.159 --> 01:43:25.800
scandal free because you know, I mean, they never turned

1824
01:43:25.800 --> 01:43:27.760
fast and furious into a scandal, even though it was

1825
01:43:27.800 --> 01:43:30.600
a scandal, right, they never turned everything with Eric Holder,

1826
01:43:30.680 --> 01:43:33.880
the meeting with Loretta Lynch on the tarmac, the irs

1827
01:43:33.960 --> 01:43:36.439
going after conservative organizations. I mean, this is just off

1828
01:43:36.439 --> 01:43:39.079
the top of my head. There's considerably more than this.

1829
01:43:39.479 --> 01:43:42.560
Everything involving Obamacare. You can keep your doctor, right. None

1830
01:43:42.600 --> 01:43:44.880
of those were scandals because the media didn't want them

1831
01:43:44.920 --> 01:43:46.079
to be scandals.

1832
01:43:46.199 --> 01:43:50.239
Right, And if there was anything that maybe smacked a scandal,

1833
01:43:50.680 --> 01:43:52.520
they had a way of getting around it. Just like

1834
01:43:52.640 --> 01:43:55.800
dealing with Lois Lerner and the Tea Party, you know, Patriots,

1835
01:43:56.039 --> 01:43:59.680
and how they handled that. Lois Learner says, well, you know,

1836
01:43:59.720 --> 01:44:01.439
the thing to do is just bring it out in

1837
01:44:01.479 --> 01:44:04.199
the open. Let me give a question to one of

1838
01:44:04.239 --> 01:44:08.560
my my journalistic allies to bring up in a meeting.

1839
01:44:08.600 --> 01:44:10.880
Then this way they could say, oh, yeah, we've already

1840
01:44:10.920 --> 01:44:11.600
talked about.

1841
01:44:11.399 --> 01:44:15.760
That, you know, right, right, yeah, Which is that's such

1842
01:44:15.800 --> 01:44:19.359
a it's such a slimy tactic, But I mean there

1843
01:44:19.520 --> 01:44:21.640
there is something almost this is a bit of a

1844
01:44:21.680 --> 01:44:27.520
non sequitor, but there is something almost innocently playing by

1845
01:44:27.560 --> 01:44:30.640
the rules about that that she is like actually bothering

1846
01:44:30.640 --> 01:44:32.520
to plant a question with somebody so that she can

1847
01:44:32.560 --> 01:44:35.560
answer it and then say, truthfully, well I've already addressed this.

1848
01:44:35.640 --> 01:44:38.319
When you consider the way the Biden administration worked, which

1849
01:44:38.359 --> 01:44:40.880
was just let's just send kareein Jean Pierre out there

1850
01:44:40.960 --> 01:44:43.680
to lie and so somebody will ask her a question

1851
01:44:43.800 --> 01:44:46.159
and she'll dodge it, and then somebody will say, but

1852
01:44:46.199 --> 01:44:47.960
you didn't answer that question, and she'll say.

1853
01:44:47.760 --> 01:44:51.119
No, I just did, right, and like that was it.

1854
01:44:50.920 --> 01:44:53.159
It was they didn't even they didn't even do this

1855
01:44:53.239 --> 01:44:54.439
setup right.

1856
01:44:54.840 --> 01:44:58.840
And the thing is is post Obama's presidency, and here

1857
01:44:58.880 --> 01:45:01.199
we are in the modern era. I mean, I believe

1858
01:45:01.359 --> 01:45:05.279
a lot of people had put and you could argue

1859
01:45:05.399 --> 01:45:09.239
it was unfair expectations on this administration, kind of hoping

1860
01:45:09.279 --> 01:45:13.960
that maybe the Obama administration would bring a close to

1861
01:45:14.039 --> 01:45:17.880
the racial divide, but it would almost seem in retrospect

1862
01:45:17.920 --> 01:45:21.680
bill that he exacerbated it more than solving it.

1863
01:45:22.520 --> 01:45:24.880
Yeah, I think it pretty dramatically worsened it thanks in

1864
01:45:25.000 --> 01:45:27.199
no part to or thanks in no small part to

1865
01:45:28.000 --> 01:45:33.039
some of the comments by Obama. I think also he

1866
01:45:33.199 --> 01:45:36.239
just I think I think there's culpability there. I think

1867
01:45:36.239 --> 01:45:40.600
he also happened to preside over an era in which

1868
01:45:40.760 --> 01:45:44.199
a lot of the older millennials, who were trained by

1869
01:45:44.239 --> 01:45:48.199
a lot of these Marxist professors kind of came of

1870
01:45:48.359 --> 01:45:52.680
age and entered the economy and became working adults and

1871
01:45:52.720 --> 01:45:55.760
started kind of influencing things. So I think it's I mean,

1872
01:45:55.800 --> 01:45:58.760
there are there's there's so much you could say about

1873
01:45:59.039 --> 01:46:03.159
about how we got to the insane racial dynamic point

1874
01:46:03.199 --> 01:46:07.359
that we're at right now, but it's it's ridiculous to

1875
01:46:07.359 --> 01:46:11.479
say Obama did anything but exacerbated. I think that's definitely true.

1876
01:46:12.000 --> 01:46:14.800
Well, yeah, I remember clearly, you know, I'm based out

1877
01:46:14.800 --> 01:46:18.159
of Florida and you know, south of me, the Trayvon

1878
01:46:18.279 --> 01:46:24.520
Martin case where you know, he announced that he could

1879
01:46:24.520 --> 01:46:24.920
have been his.

1880
01:46:24.920 --> 01:46:27.359
Son, he could have been my son, right, yeah, right.

1881
01:46:28.039 --> 01:46:30.399
And and then and then what happened? How many people

1882
01:46:30.479 --> 01:46:32.479
I don't know the exact number, but I know there

1883
01:46:32.479 --> 01:46:35.960
were several people at least that were uh, you know,

1884
01:46:36.039 --> 01:46:39.119
were killed in the name of Trayvon Martin. You know,

1885
01:46:39.199 --> 01:46:42.680
it was black on white murder, all in the name

1886
01:46:42.720 --> 01:46:45.720
this is for Trayvon, you know, was uh with some

1887
01:46:45.800 --> 01:46:49.920
of the responses that the murder would would spout off

1888
01:46:50.239 --> 01:46:54.800
as he killed, you know, a fellow citizen or a cop,

1889
01:46:54.880 --> 01:46:56.960
a cop, and yeah, right, even a cop exactly.

1890
01:46:57.640 --> 01:47:02.439
Yeah, And I remember I remember Obama also eulogizing a

1891
01:47:02.560 --> 01:47:06.760
slain cop and bringing up Trayvon and talking about police

1892
01:47:07.079 --> 01:47:09.279
police shootings of black men, and it was like, really

1893
01:47:09.319 --> 01:47:11.960
at the guy's funeral in front of his wife, mister president,

1894
01:47:12.840 --> 01:47:13.560
are you serious?

1895
01:47:14.079 --> 01:47:14.279
Right?

1896
01:47:14.920 --> 01:47:17.439
And the thing is is that look at what happened

1897
01:47:17.960 --> 01:47:19.960
in that. I think that was probably one of the

1898
01:47:20.000 --> 01:47:25.039
key triggering events that you know, gave place for Black

1899
01:47:25.039 --> 01:47:28.119
Lives Matter. Oh and then of course, and then of

1900
01:47:28.119 --> 01:47:31.800
course then we have George Floyd shortly after that, right, right.

1901
01:47:31.760 --> 01:47:34.520
And I mean, so, okay, Black Lives Matter. Yeah, it

1902
01:47:35.279 --> 01:47:37.800
it needed an event like Trayvon to kind of be

1903
01:47:37.840 --> 01:47:40.199
a flash in the pan or like a you know,

1904
01:47:40.479 --> 01:47:44.560
lightning in a bottle moment to kick start it. But

1905
01:47:44.720 --> 01:47:49.119
I think that the Obama administration created the necessary conditions

1906
01:47:49.119 --> 01:47:50.960
for something like that to happen to begin with, not

1907
01:47:51.039 --> 01:47:53.560
for the Trayvon Martin incident to happen, but rather for

1908
01:47:54.479 --> 01:47:59.960
a deliberately cynical Marxist organization and ethno narcissist organization like

1909
01:48:00.079 --> 01:48:02.479
Black Lives Matter to profit off of it and become

1910
01:48:02.520 --> 01:48:06.039
as prominent as they did. I don't think you get

1911
01:48:06.279 --> 01:48:09.920
BLM flags all over Facebook and act or Twitter back

1912
01:48:10.000 --> 01:48:13.600
then and whatever else during during Mike Brown and during

1913
01:48:13.640 --> 01:48:16.520
George Floyd exactly Obama presidency.

1914
01:48:16.479 --> 01:48:19.800
Right, and you mentioned Obamacare. I mean here it is.

1915
01:48:19.840 --> 01:48:24.920
It's on life support, never fulfilled its promise whatsoever. The

1916
01:48:25.000 --> 01:48:27.800
President lied about it so much so that Joe Wilson

1917
01:48:27.840 --> 01:48:32.159
couldn't help himself. He just, you know, he just utterly

1918
01:48:33.000 --> 01:48:38.000
responded when the President was not being forthcoming and during

1919
01:48:38.039 --> 01:48:40.319
a State of the Union says, well, that's a lie. Well,

1920
01:48:40.359 --> 01:48:44.159
then Wilson, you know, gets all but tarred and feathered.

1921
01:48:44.600 --> 01:48:46.359
But you know, the fact of the matter is is

1922
01:48:46.399 --> 01:48:50.000
that Barack Obama was deceiving about it, and Joe Wilson

1923
01:48:50.119 --> 01:48:53.079
was right, but nobody wanted to pluck the feathers off.

1924
01:48:52.880 --> 01:48:55.239
Of him, right right, Yeah.

1925
01:48:55.479 --> 01:48:58.319
It's the reaction to that in the media, to Joe

1926
01:48:58.319 --> 01:49:02.520
Wilson yelling you, I think he said you lie, sir too.

1927
01:49:02.560 --> 01:49:05.319
I might be wrong. He might have just said you lie.

1928
01:49:05.520 --> 01:49:07.920
But you compare that to some of the stunts that

1929
01:49:07.960 --> 01:49:11.760
these Democrats pull routinely now during the State of the Union.

1930
01:49:12.319 --> 01:49:15.239
I mean, remember Nancy Pelosi with her pre risking speech,

1931
01:49:15.680 --> 01:49:18.840
just tearing it up in front of him and tossing.

1932
01:49:18.920 --> 01:49:23.680
I mean, there is so much hand ringing over what

1933
01:49:23.760 --> 01:49:28.119
Trump has done to the political discourse that very few

1934
01:49:28.119 --> 01:49:32.279
people bother to remember that A lot of it is yeah,

1935
01:49:32.279 --> 01:49:35.720
it wouldn't happen without Trump, because it's the left's response

1936
01:49:35.760 --> 01:49:39.000
to Trump is what is dragging down the political discourse.

1937
01:49:39.479 --> 01:49:43.000
It's basically, well, look, I hate this individual so much

1938
01:49:43.039 --> 01:49:47.680
specifically that I can now start openly cursing on the

1939
01:49:47.720 --> 01:49:49.399
Senate floor, right.

1940
01:49:49.800 --> 01:49:52.520
So, you know, I think common sense things like closing

1941
01:49:52.560 --> 01:49:56.079
the border and not letting twenty million illegal immigrants come

1942
01:49:56.119 --> 01:50:01.319
into the country and finding that mactuary, Yeah, find sanctuary,

1943
01:50:01.439 --> 01:50:05.560
particularly in sanctuary states that happened to be blue that

1944
01:50:05.680 --> 01:50:08.800
are fraught with fraud. I guess that's a bad thing.

1945
01:50:08.840 --> 01:50:11.760
I guess we just want to go and turn a

1946
01:50:11.800 --> 01:50:14.720
blind eye to everything until all of a sudden, are

1947
01:50:14.840 --> 01:50:17.439
a democratic republic just fully collapses.

1948
01:50:17.520 --> 01:50:20.079
Right, Well, we were supposed to, and then Trump came

1949
01:50:20.079 --> 01:50:23.199
along and declared, and you know, they've been losing their

1950
01:50:23.239 --> 01:50:26.319
minds ever since. But yeah, I mean that that set

1951
01:50:26.399 --> 01:50:30.920
us on a pretty pretty different trajectory. But it's it is,

1952
01:50:31.960 --> 01:50:34.279
It is sort of I think one of the most

1953
01:50:34.520 --> 01:50:37.880
remarkable the Sorry, the Obama presidency is one of the

1954
01:50:37.920 --> 01:50:44.239
most remarkable juxtapositions to the immediately subsequent Trump presidency as

1955
01:50:44.279 --> 01:50:48.039
far as media handling, because I I mean, look, I

1956
01:50:48.680 --> 01:50:52.039
you know, didn't live through that many presidencies before Obama.

1957
01:50:52.560 --> 01:50:59.199
I'm thirty five, but I cannot fathom more effusive and

1958
01:50:59.479 --> 01:51:02.760
just harassing praise for a president than what we saw

1959
01:51:02.800 --> 01:51:06.600
for Obama during his presidency, and then followed immediately by,

1960
01:51:07.760 --> 01:51:14.079
without question, the most just unified media hate campaign against

1961
01:51:14.119 --> 01:51:15.399
the presidency in history.

1962
01:51:16.000 --> 01:51:21.479
Right, and to me, they have really dishonored what the

1963
01:51:21.479 --> 01:51:24.760
First Amendment is all about, what the media should be

1964
01:51:24.880 --> 01:51:27.319
doing on behalf of we the people, and holding the

1965
01:51:27.359 --> 01:51:31.279
government accountable by calling balls and strikes. Look, I get it,

1966
01:51:31.399 --> 01:51:33.920
sometimes you need to have some entertainment, but that's for

1967
01:51:34.000 --> 01:51:36.920
the editorial page, but for the real news, you know,

1968
01:51:37.000 --> 01:51:39.439
And this is why they're losing eyes and they're losing

1969
01:51:40.039 --> 01:51:42.960
they've lost trust, you know, with the American people because

1970
01:51:42.960 --> 01:51:46.439
the people see that, you know, they don't need bias reporting.

1971
01:51:46.479 --> 01:51:50.399
They don't, you know, they really insult their readership to

1972
01:51:50.439 --> 01:51:53.039
think that, you know, you must tell the readership what

1973
01:51:53.079 --> 01:51:55.840
they are to believe, right, right.

1974
01:51:56.439 --> 01:51:59.960
And I mean the case for television news, especially cable news,

1975
01:51:59.920 --> 01:52:03.800
is actually stuff. It's it's a lot worse. I mean,

1976
01:52:04.359 --> 01:52:08.000
so CNN basically pioneered the twenty four hour news cycle

1977
01:52:08.039 --> 01:52:10.279
that was what gave them the quote unquote leg up

1978
01:52:10.319 --> 01:52:14.000
over the broadcast networks, right is, you know, if something's happening,

1979
01:52:14.039 --> 01:52:18.039
you don't turn on ABC because ABC might not break

1980
01:52:18.079 --> 01:52:20.800
into their regularly scheduled program to talk about it. You

1981
01:52:20.880 --> 01:52:23.000
might have to wait till you know, World News tonight. Oh,

1982
01:52:23.000 --> 01:52:25.239
but you can just turn on CNN. Look, they're talking

1983
01:52:25.279 --> 01:52:27.359
about it right now. We can see all the new developments.

1984
01:52:28.159 --> 01:52:30.720
So that was kind of the great technological innovation. But

1985
01:52:31.399 --> 01:52:33.600
around the same time that they all started lighting their

1986
01:52:33.600 --> 01:52:36.359
credentials on fire and sacrificing them on the altar of

1987
01:52:36.479 --> 01:52:41.800
the Democratic Party's electoral prospects, the Internet became a widespread

1988
01:52:41.840 --> 01:52:45.600
means of getting those real time updates instead. And so

1989
01:52:45.640 --> 01:52:48.239
the case for television media is even I would I

1990
01:52:48.239 --> 01:52:52.000
would argue floundering more than print media. I mean, I

1991
01:52:52.000 --> 01:52:54.439
don't I don't know what's something like CNN RMS now

1992
01:52:54.479 --> 01:52:56.560
looks like in twenty years, but it looks nothing like

1993
01:52:56.640 --> 01:52:58.079
what I think of them as today.

1994
01:52:58.800 --> 01:53:01.840
Right. Well, you know, I guess the bottom line here

1995
01:53:02.119 --> 01:53:06.520
is that, yes, the liberal media held up Obama for

1996
01:53:06.600 --> 01:53:10.119
all those years, but they seem to be stepping back

1997
01:53:10.159 --> 01:53:13.239
a little bit. There seems to be some distance. What's

1998
01:53:13.279 --> 01:53:14.239
your perception on.

1999
01:53:14.239 --> 01:53:18.720
That on a distance distance from in terms of in.

2000
01:53:18.720 --> 01:53:23.239
Terms of supporting him, like the you know, the reigning

2001
01:53:23.279 --> 01:53:24.920
Black messiahs, so to speak.

2002
01:53:25.600 --> 01:53:32.199
I think that that's mostly attributable to the the factional

2003
01:53:32.239 --> 01:53:34.680
dispute that is currently going on in the Democratic Party

2004
01:53:34.720 --> 01:53:40.039
where there is a radical cadre of progressives who have

2005
01:53:40.800 --> 01:53:43.880
fancied themselves ascendant in the party for a long time,

2006
01:53:44.920 --> 01:53:50.239
and now with with elections like mom Donni with with

2007
01:53:50.399 --> 01:53:54.159
members of Congress like Alexandria Cosio Bortez and some of

2008
01:53:54.199 --> 01:53:59.439
her friends coming in, they're finally starting to feel like, Okay, yeah, no,

2009
01:53:59.560 --> 01:54:01.880
this is our show now, we get to run things now.

2010
01:54:02.920 --> 01:54:05.920
And because of that, I think that there's a bit

2011
01:54:05.960 --> 01:54:11.000
of shuffling around as far as loyalties go. That's mostly

2012
01:54:11.079 --> 01:54:14.920
how I see the I wouldn't call it a split

2013
01:54:14.960 --> 01:54:18.680
with Obama, but certainly the waning of some of his influence,

2014
01:54:19.000 --> 01:54:20.560
because I mean, if you compare it to even as

2015
01:54:20.640 --> 01:54:25.560
recently as twenty twenty, right when suddenly every Democratic candidate

2016
01:54:25.600 --> 01:54:31.039
in the presidential primary dropped out literally overnight and endorsed

2017
01:54:31.079 --> 01:54:35.159
Biden except for Bernie Sanders obviously, who the democratic establishment

2018
01:54:35.159 --> 01:54:38.119
was afraid of. I mean, we've never gotten confirmation of this,

2019
01:54:38.199 --> 01:54:40.000
but there's I don't think there's a living soul that

2020
01:54:40.439 --> 01:54:43.720
thinks that anything other than oh well, Obama called all

2021
01:54:43.760 --> 01:54:45.039
of them and told them to drop out.

2022
01:54:45.479 --> 01:54:49.520
