00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:01.639
Are you ready?

2
00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:02.120
Yeah?

3
00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:03.279
OK, do it?

4
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:07.879
Bill Martinez Live a program about current events, our culture,

5
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:11.199
our values, our politics, and our future.

6
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.679
And now Bill Martinez.

7
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:17.760
Six minutes after the top of the arcad Morning America.

8
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.640
Bill Martinez here with George Barna. Doctor George, how.

9
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:23.719
Are you doing well? Good to see you, Bill.

10
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.320
If things calm down there in the neighborhood after all

11
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.280
the festivities the memorial, I mean, when was the last

12
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.280
time you saw so many people go to a church

13
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.520
service that lasted over four hours? George?

14
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:41.600
Yeah, yeah, and it wasn't a black congregation. So I

15
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.759
recently got back from Africa. That's fairly common over there,

16
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:46.240
but it's able here.

17
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.320
So yeah, that's that was a heck of a day.

18
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.799
Yeah, with without a doubt. And for some people, you know,

19
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.159
they were they were in line, they were cueued up

20
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.240
at two o'clock in the morning, you know, to make

21
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.679
sure that they got a seat, and they turned away

22
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.799
thousands because there just wasn't enough room at the end.

23
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.760
But you know, it's I think we're still looking to

24
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.120
hear the numbers of actual viewers they had. But no

25
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.920
doubt when you think about you know, God said there's

26
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.400
going to be that time when the Gospel goes out

27
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.920
to all the ends of the earth. And I think

28
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.480
we got pretty close here, George.

29
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.280
And you know, the thing that I was thinking about

30
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:27.480
last week was why would the Lord take Charlie now

31
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.000
or allow him to be taken? Because his ministry was growing,

32
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.400
it was flourishing, it was reaching more and more people.

33
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.719
It's like, why would you take somebody then? And I

34
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:39.799
don't know if this is right, but it occurred to me, Well,

35
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.120
the Lord knows all, he can see all, and so

36
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:48.400
it must mean that he realized by Charlie being murdered

37
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.319
at that time, this time, it would have a greater

38
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.120
impact than all the coming forty years or so of

39
00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:00.000
Charlie's ministry combined. And now his wife and others will

40
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.200
be able to pick up that, you know, baton and

41
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:06.519
keep running the race for him. But yeah, I mean

42
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.879
it's I just think we've been talking about renewal and

43
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.919
revival for so many years and it's always kind of

44
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.360
petered out. I think this may be a different situation

45
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.800
because of the nature of the dynamics of who was taken,

46
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.120
how he was taken, and how the church has responded.

47
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.719
And you bring up something here, and that is that

48
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:33.280
sometimes people underestimate the price of revival. And you and

49
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.560
I talked about this before, is that people are quick

50
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.080
to talk about revival and going are you ready for this?

51
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.360
I mean you're talking, Hey, we got to put it

52
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.039
all on the down the line and understand that we've

53
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.199
all fallen short of the glory of God. What does

54
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.639
that mean? Well, what does it mean to be sinful? Well,

55
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.840
when you come face to face with the glory of God,

56
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.759
then you're like Isaiah God, I'm toast right.

57
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:03.919
Yeah, And last week I wrote an article about all

58
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.680
of this, saying, man, we've been praying and waiting for

59
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.080
revival and now we've got a lot of people interested.

60
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.080
But it could be just like September eleventh.

61
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.400
That's what I'm afraid of exactly. I'm glad you brought

62
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:16.719
that up.

63
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.560
Go ahead, Yeah, because when we did the research back

64
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.919
then two thousand and one, and we were looking at

65
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.479
what happened right after the attacks, churches were flooded, they

66
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.759
couldn't hold all the people. There was such fear and

67
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:33.319
anxiety and doubt and questioning and hope and all kinds

68
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.759
of emotions, and people were coming there to say, Okay,

69
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.599
what do I make of all this exactly. And after

70
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.599
six weeks started at about the four week mark, started

71
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.960
to tail off, and after six weeks we were back

72
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.520
at pre attack levels, and right after that we were

73
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:52.159
actually a little bit lower. So my fear here is

74
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.639
that we did not learn the lesson about what it

75
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.680
takes to actually have revival, which is that once we

76
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.840
people's interest to the Holy Spirit does something to get

77
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:07.120
people interested on coming on board. It's not just well, great,

78
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.479
we'll open up the doors and do business as usual.

79
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.599
There's got to be a whole different approach the church

80
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.680
in America. For the last at least forty years that

81
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:20.519
I've been researching, it really has not been about making disciples.

82
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.920
And I think that's why when we've had these moments

83
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.759
in time where the Holy Spirit stirs something and people say, yeah,

84
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.560
help me, Lord, you know, who are you, Where are you?

85
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:31.959
What are you? What are you doing?

86
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.399
We're not there to come alongside these people and guide

87
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.800
them through the process, much like Philip did with the

88
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.480
Ethiopian eunuch. I mean, there's got to be somebody there

89
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.079
to explain it to them. That's what the eunuch was saying.

90
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.560
Who would explain this to me? And so Philip went

91
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.399
on the ride with them. That's what we've got to do.

92
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.040
We've got to get on the ride with them and

93
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.480
accompany them through this process of understanding who God is,

94
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.360
who Jesus was, why he died. Our sin means, what

95
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.519
salvation is about, what a disciple is, what that life

96
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.680
looks like, what it takes to maintain that over time,

97
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:11.959
what the community of believers is about. I mean, there's

98
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.120
so many things that have to be unpacked. It's not

99
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.519
just enough to have them come in, say the prayer,

100
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.519
and walk out the back door and say job well done.

101
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:23.720
It's not a job well done. We've probably done those

102
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:27.560
people a greater disservice because at that point they think

103
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.639
they got all the goods. Why wouldn't the Christians have

104
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.360
told me everything, shown me, everything, delivered everything that I

105
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.560
needed at that moment in time. Why would they leave

106
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:41.839
me a half baked spiritual being and feel like they

107
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.000
did the job and everything's fine. So that's my big

108
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.279
fear for this moment in time for the church here.

109
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:49.720
I share that with you, and we've been talking about

110
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.800
it on our show as well, because I've put it

111
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.519
in the context of branding. You know, what's the brand

112
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.839
of your church? Is it consistent with a biblical worldview

113
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.600
that you and I've been talking about. What ever since

114
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.759
you and I met, I mean, you know, it's like

115
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.839
fifteen seventeen years now and we've been beating this drum,

116
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:11.600
and I just see that just as Charlie saw that

117
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:19.079
the whole process and and everything involved with a person's

118
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.160
life made in the image of God and the higher

119
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.439
calling for each one of us was freedom, that is

120
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:29.279
God guaranteed. But away from God you lose the guarantee.

121
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.839
The warranty expires.

122
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.759
Right, Yeah, absolutely, But how many churches would you hear

123
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.000
that in? I mean, think about the COVID era, where

124
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.720
churches were not only willing to close, but then when

125
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.720
they opened up, there really wasn't any discussion about what

126
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:49.360
freedom means, what freedom takes, you know, what our responsibility

127
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.800
is in that process, why God wants us to be free,

128
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.920
what it looks like. So, I mean, those weren't the

129
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.879
conversations that were taking place. I'm privileged to go to

130
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.759
the church where Rob McCoy was pastor. He was the

131
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.680
guy that opened up the memorial service yesterday, and Charlie,

132
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.079
you know, called Rob his pastor, and Charlie would come

133
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.279
and speak at our church sometimes. But you know, I

134
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.639
mean Rob would talk about that all the time because

135
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.399
he understood this is the nature of the times.

136
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.839
You have to understand the times and know what exactly.

137
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.839
Like the Brothers is a car exact absolutely.

138
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.639
Yes, But there were very few churches like that. There

139
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.839
were some, and God bless them, and you know, they exploded.

140
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.519
They did great because people were hearing something that wasn't

141
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:38.519
tickling their ears, it was challenging their souls. And that's

142
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.600
what we need now is pastors who are going to

143
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.240
stand there and challenge us to say, you know, it's

144
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.079
not my job as the pastor to bring these people

145
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.879
in and to do all the work of you know,

146
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:52.639
justification and sanctification in their lives. It's us as a community.

147
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.800
That's why we're a community. We do this together. And

148
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.000
so anyone who's a disciple, wow, this is an exciting time,

149
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.040
you know, I asked, I asked them. Based on our research,

150
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.360
only three percent of adults in America fit the criteria

151
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.639
Jesus gave us for being disciples. That three percent, now,

152
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.120
is is the hinge point about the for the future

153
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:19.240
of America. If we actually serve the Kingdom of God

154
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:24.040
appropriately during this point in time. America will survive, America

155
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.360
will thrive. If we don't, America's in trouble.

156
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.519
Well, we've been in trouble for a long time. And

157
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:37.600
you know we're down to that conversation between Abraham and

158
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.440
the Spirit of God in saving You know, is there

159
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:44.440
a possibility to save Sodom and Gomorrah? You know, how

160
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.720
about if you find fifty, if you find forty, if

161
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.159
you find you know, all the way down to five, right,

162
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:53.799
and we're the numbers are are getting less and less.

163
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:57.679
By God's grace and mercy. You know, we've been given

164
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.799
an opportunity and pray that we we don't waste it.

165
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.039
I mean, you know the profits that came to the

166
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.000
children of Israel, what did they do to the profits?

167
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:09.159
And you know, as we know quite clearly anyway, we

We're back with your nineteen minutes after the top of

256
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.159
the hour, Bill Martinez here with the one and only

257
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:56.679
George Barnett, the director of Research at Arizona Christian University's

258
00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:59.960
Cultural Research Center and the author of raising spiritual champion

259
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.440
is George. You know, you touched on something that is

260
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.279
just so important here, and that is that this is

261
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:10.519
Jesus's church first, right, Second, he sent the Holy Spirit

262
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:17.159
to empower the growth and maintain that the spiritual dynamic

263
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:21.000
of the church. If I'm hearing you correctly, this is

264
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:23.240
my takeaway. Somebody say, okay, you talk to George. What

265
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.759
do you say this? This is my takeaway from one

266
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.240
of hearing you, is that the churches, more than ever

267
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.399
have got to seek the Holy Spirit. This is a

268
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.559
movement of God. You've got to get in tune. I

269
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.720
see guitars in the background. You know, we got to

270
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.320
tune up. We got to tune up to the you know,

271
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:43.960
to the Holy Spirit. Where are you going, Lord, not

272
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.000
my will, Your will be done. That's what Charlie prayed.

273
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.639
Yeah, and I think the challenge that we've had for

274
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.799
the last four decades again that's as long as I've

275
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.679
been measuring it. But during that point of time, we've

276
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.879
been trying to do it our way. Yeah, you know,

277
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.559
and essentially are way is, you know, what we can

278
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.000
market people into the Kingdom of God, and so we're

279
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.639
going to figure out what their felt needs are and

280
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.799
we're going to pander to their felt needs as opposed

281
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.320
to recognizing. Now, let's look at it from God's point

282
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.879
of view, where sinners in need of a savior, We

283
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.679
are weak people in need of the strength of God,

284
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:27.159
and so he'll send the Holy Spirit. We are hopeless

285
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:31.759
without Jesus. And that's a message that doesn't flum it.

286
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:34.759
You know, recently I wrote an article I was alluding

287
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.480
to what I thought was a huge eye opening study

288
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.799
that Pew did about six or seven years ago, and

289
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:47.240
they found that they did a national sampling of sermons

290
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.000
that were preaching across the country found that only three

291
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:57.240
percent of sermons mentioned sin during the course of those sermons. Now,

292
00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:00.679
when you've got ninety seven out of one hundred spiritual

293
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:08.279
outposts in America that refused to diagnose the primary disease

294
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.879
that's killing every one of us sin and instead want

295
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:16.240
to talk about things that make us happy, make us

296
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:19.200
want to come back, make us do all the things

297
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:21.960
that are what churches tend to look for and count

298
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.240
as opposed to no, no, no, no, no no. Let's tell

299
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.279
the truth, and let's believe that God's in control enough

300
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.559
that he'll deal with the consequences of telling the truth.

301
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:35.679
That's ultimately what we want, what we need. We're not

302
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:37.960
doing that. I'm praying that this is a period of

303
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.960
time now where we're going to look at how Charlie

304
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.159
did business for the kingdom, you know, and he went

305
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:46.120
out there and he told the truth and often it

306
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.279
wasn't popularly paid for that with his life.

307
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.039
Are we willing to do that?

308
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.480
We've got to be willing to say, yes, yes, we

309
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:55.879
may not be assassinated like he was because we don't

310
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:58.679
have the platform he has, but we're going to be persecuted.

311
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:01.720
We may lose our jobs, friends, you know, I've lost

312
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:06.279
family members. I'm sure all kinds of things happen, and

313
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:08.599
so we've got to be willing to say, but that's okay.

314
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:10.880
I did that in the service of my Lord, and

315
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.920
he's going to take care of me. He's going to

316
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.400
make it well with my soul, and that's what I want.

317
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.039
That's the ultimate job here.

318
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.200
Why do we misunderstand sin so much?

319
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:23.559
Well, you know, it's interesting.

320
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.799
We've got these two new reports out because we do

321
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:28.920
the Worldview research every year, and one of the things

322
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.480
that we're discovering is that people don't take sin seriously,

323
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:34.200
so we want to know why. And what we found

324
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.680
is that there are a lot of things that people misunderstand,

325
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.720
you know. One is that they don't think that humans

326
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:46.440
have a corrupt heart. They believe a minority of people

327
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:50.119
believe that human beings have a corrupt or wicked heart,

328
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:54.200
as the scripture very clearly states. Instead, what we've got

329
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:56.319
is more than seven out of ten people who say

330
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.160
human beings are basically good, good at heart, you know.

331
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.759
And so we can and that's why we have this

332
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:04.839
thing in our culture and we say we can look inward,

333
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:07.359
you know, we can turn to ourselves and we can

334
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.440
figure this out. We don't really need any help. We've

335
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:13.799
got it. We've got it within us to deal with this.

336
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:16.640
And then we've also got this this thing where we

337
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.079
don't understand sin as rebellion.

338
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:21.920
We're willing to talk about.

339
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:26.160
You know, sin may not be good, but we don't

340
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.559
believe it's a life changing experience. I mean, think about

341
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.559
the fact that people would say, well, sin's not that

342
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:34.160
big a deal.

343
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:35.400
It won't change your life.

344
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.960
You know, maybe you could have done something better to

345
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:44.279
something you know that that would be more advanced, but

346
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:46.880
it's not going to change it. It absolutely is going

347
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.279
to change. It is going to destroy your life. Exactly

348
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:53.880
what people need to be hearing during this period time. Recognize,

349
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.400
I'm not saying this to diminish you or to discourage you.

350
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.680
The encouraging thing is. But there's a great way around

351
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.680
this life changing reality of who we are and what

352
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.119
we do. And that's what Jesus Christ did for us

353
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.640
on the cross. He's the only one that can save

354
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:13.759
us from this internal corruption. And we got a nation

355
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:15.880
where two out of three people are saying, by the way,

356
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.440
you know, when you talk about sin, it makes me

357
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.960
feel guilty, and that guilt is worse than the sin.

358
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.039
People are thinking that the feelings that sin produces, it

359
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.359
is just like when you touch a stove and you

360
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:33.519
jump back because it hurts. God implanted that feeling of

361
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:36.039
pain in us so that we would know something's wrong,

362
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:38.319
and it's the same way with sin.

363
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.839
That's what that guilt does. It makes us.

364
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:46.000
Realize, Oh, man, I offended God. I broke his heart

365
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:49.400
and that should break my heart. If I claim that

366
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:54.119
I love him, I want to serve him. That's just

367
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:57.119
got to you know, knock me over, Say what a

368
00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:57.960
fool I am?

369
00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:59.200
Lord? Please take over.

370
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:02.119
Say do what you need to in the Holy Spirit,

371
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:05.519
I'm yours. But we're not hearing that enough in America.

372
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:12.559
Yeah, you know, we've become so consumeristic and and uh nehilistic. Uh,

373
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:15.119
I mean, just go down all the isms. I mean,

374
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:19.279
we we've embraced that as we have uh you know,

375
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.519
listened to uh the voice of the evil one. If

376
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.119
God really said, I mean, God laid out a plan.

377
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:31.359
This is his, his domain, his dominion. It's all set

378
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:36.319
up perfectly ordered, and we messed it up, and we

379
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:39.319
have been trying to justify it ever since then, as

380
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.160
opposed to you know, being like Isaiah and having the

381
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.799
moment or even you know, the the children of Nineveh

382
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:49.359
who when they're confronted with the truth of God or

383
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:54.079
going oh evey, yeah, you know, or they were a

384
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.359
bunch of gentiles, so they probably didn't say ovey, but

385
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:01.319
but regardless, you know, they got it right, and they're

386
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:05.200
putting sackcloth on themselves and they're going, hey, even the animals,

387
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:11.680
we're not going to miss anything here, right, And maybe, George,

388
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.279
maybe if we could get to that sack cloth moment,

389
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.440
so to speak, that God would open our eyes in

390
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.319
such a way that we could really see sin for

391
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:27.319
how it hurts the father's heart.

392
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:30.440
And just even the phrase he used their bill, the father.

393
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:32.519
You know. I mean, this is something else.

394
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:35.799
We're finding that so few people, when they think about

395
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:38.640
who they are, they think about the nature of their life,

396
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:41.880
they think about their faith, when they think about God,

397
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.920
they think about you know, the big guy, the man upstairs.

398
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.720
They don't think about he's my father. Yeah, you know,

399
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:53.079
he loves me, He cares about me. He'll do everything

400
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:57.160
he can to save me. And that's why he came

401
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:01.440
down here and took on my sins. That's my father

402
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:05.519
willing to suffer from me so that you know, I

403
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:08.200
can live with him forever because he loves me. You know,

404
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:11.000
we don't get that picture. And I think it's so

405
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:13.640
critically important for us to recognize that.

406
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:17.920
Well, it's important that we're having this conversation today, significant

407
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.480
that you address this topic right now, because that is

408
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:25.880
step one in any kind of revival, is we have

409
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:29.799
to acknowledge that we all have sinned, we're all sinners,

410
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.920
and we need a holy God to save us because

411
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:38.359
there's nobody else, George, It's.

412
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.359
All we've got but the beauty of that is it's

413
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:42.000
all we need.

414
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:46.480
So and I love that that's all we got and

415
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:47.400
it's all we need.

416
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.000
Who yes, yeah, So I mean if we can just

417
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:56.200
embrace that and be thankful for that, so thankful that

418
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.839
we're willing to repent, which means turn around, change what

419
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.480
we're doing, go in a different direction. If we'd be

420
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.759
willing to do that, man, it would be so different.

421
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.960
Well, you talk about a revival that could be beyond

422
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:18.359
anything that this earth has ever experienced, George Barna, Wow,

423
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:22.839
may it be the Father's will. Then it happened, It

424
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:24.000
would happen at this time.

425
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:26.640
And Charlie was a friend, and I'm going to miss him.

426
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:28.640
Millions of people are going to miss him because of

427
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:31.920
what he brought to the table. But what he brought

428
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:34.680
to the table isn't going away because what he brought

429
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.039
to the table was the truth of the scriptures, the

430
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:41.160
love of God, the forgiveness of Christ, and the hope

431
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.200
of eternity. And he may have talked about it in

432
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:46.359
a political context, he might have talked about it in

433
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:50.160
a social context, in a family context and educational context,

434
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:55.759
but the basis of his message was recognize your sinner,

435
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:01.400
ask for God's forgiveness, accept it and run with it, and.

436
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:02.359
The truth does exist.

437
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.839
Yeah, yeah, And how ironic it is that he had

438
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.559
to go to universities and colleges.

439
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:11.720
All over the country, which is supposed to be places

440
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:13.640
that teach us the truth, you know.

441
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:16.119
And at our university, we're certainly trying to do that,

442
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:18.880
but we hear all the time, how unique.

443
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:20.720
That is, well, how sad that is.

444
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:24.519
Well. He's the director of research at Arizona Christian University's

445
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:28.839

Nutrition for Patriots, Welcome.

520
00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:42.240
Morning, Welcome back Bill Martinez here along with Jeff camp,

521
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:46.640
the author of Ministry Leader and former NFL QB It's

522
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:50.200
quarterback season. Yeah, it is fun time, isn't it.

523
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:50.799
Oh?

524
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:54.000
My goodness, just it's always good. It must be fun

525
00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:57.400
for you and probably maybe in some parts of your

526
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:01.759
body wanting to mechanically react to the time and season

527
00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:03.880
and the other part of your body going, oh, I

528
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:05.279
don't want to ache like that again.

529
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:10.160
Yeah, the body is free. But the competitive little boy, missus,

530
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:14.680
the brotherhood, the adrenaline, and obviously the fun of thrower

531
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:17.079
of football and making a team moved down.

532
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:20.759
The field exactly well, speaking of the little boy, and

533
00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:25.000
I was reading a story about how a young child

534
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:28.720
feels when their father is walking them down the road,

535
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:31.960
you know, and they're kind of you know, your father's

536
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:36.400
holding your hand as you walk, and the child just

537
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.839
confidently even though and we're talking a young child just

538
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:43.799
barely still learning to walk, stumbling around, but having this

539
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:46.720
sense of confidence that all is well, that dad's got me,

540
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:48.599
he's not gonna let me go, he's not gonna let

541
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:51.680
me face plant. And you know, I was thinking about

542
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:54.480
that what that means in terms of child. I mean

543
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:57.599
that child has hope that their daddy is not going

544
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.920
to let them go right.

545
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:02.119
Right, I think it, boy, Hope is the thing that

546
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:05.480
the world needs. Everyone needs to have a sense that

547
00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:09.720
I can get through this, over this, I can make it.

548
00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:13.519
I'll measure up. Someday I'll pass and I'll be where

549
00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:16.799
I want to be. And that that longing really in

550
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:25.640
all of us that we might try to satisfy with achievements, popularity, money, pleasure, sex, power, whatever,

551
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:29.440
it's really just a longing for something better, which is

552
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:31.799
what God has already given us in his son Jesus.

553
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.200
But hope is it's gonna be okay. And that's what

554
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.759
you're talking about when when a dad is holding that

555
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:42.240
little child's hand and the kid maybe leaning it about

556
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:45.079
the fall, they're not worried about walking because I know, Dad,

557
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.519
he's holding me up, you know exactly, He's taking me somewhere.

558
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.200
So that's a good metaphor, you know. And I think

559
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.480
it's it's important for us to realize that God gives

560
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:59.759
us hope even in our challenges. It says that, I

561
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:02.400
think it's in the Book of Roman. We can rejoice

562
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:05.960
in our trials and tribulations and difficulties because when we

563
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:09.880
persevere in faith, we get character like Jesus, and character

564
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:15.680
like Jesus brings hope, and hope doesn't disappoint right because

565
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:17.880
God has already poured out his love into our hearts

566
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:20.759
through Jesus, who proved it raise from the dead and

567
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:23.240
then puts his spirit in us. So we got to

568
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:26.039
just think about and dwell on and receive that hope

569
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:28.240
if we want to get through our circumstances.

570
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:31.240
Well, in much the same way as this young child

571
00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:34.440
having hope in their father, their earthly father, to not

572
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.920
let go. You know, the child may let go, and

573
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:40.400
you know then we get a little crash and burn

574
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:42.799
in a boo boo. But you know, but the father

575
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:46.480
is holding that child's hand. And in the same way

576
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:50.440
abba father, our father in heaven is holding our hand

577
00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:54.000
even at our agent never stops, never says, hey, God's

578
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:56.119
going to let go of you. He's going to walk

579
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.480
you through this journey of life to bring you to

580
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:03.640
your final destination, which he promised. Jeffy said, even before

581
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:06.039
he made he knew he knows the end from the beginning.

582
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:09.920
You know, He wove in your mother's womb all that

583
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:13.480
you needed to even be here at the very moment

584
00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:17.119
for you and I having this conversation right now, isn't that?

585
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:19.680
I mean, that blows me away to think that the

586
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:23.759
Father is so complete and total in our design, that

587
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:28.559
all all these parts are designed for us for this

588
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:33.039
very moment, and meanwhile, he's holding holding on to us,

589
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:35.680
and we can have that hope that he will not

590
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:36.160
let go.

591
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.519
He's numbered our days. He knows what's going to happen

592
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:42.920
on every day, the day you were born, the day

593
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:46.759
you die, and he even knows every detail and instance

594
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:52.480
of today that you're living. I read Psalm on the

595
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:57.680
other day and it talks about how magnificent, dependable, faithful

596
00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:59.480
and loving, and I think at one point it says

597
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:03.960
he grabbed me and held on to me. That's the hope.

598
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:06.240
God grabs us and holds on to us. And as

599
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:10.160
you said, he will never let go. God can't break promises.

600
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:13.599
It's his nature to be a promise keeper. So if

601
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:17.279
you're looking for hope, look to Jesus and what he did,

602
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:19.960
and then look in the Word of God. Particularly the

603
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:22.759
Psalms do a great job of explaining it exactly.

604
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:26.119
He is your hope, right And this is why prayer

605
00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:29.640
is so important, Jeff, is that you know that's our

606
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:33.200
conversation with God, especially in those times when you're in

607
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:36.920
the valley right right, things are going rough and you go,

608
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:39.480
you know, like this morning, there was this gall at

609
00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:43.880
church and her and her husband got some tough news.

610
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:47.400
He's got cancer, young guys fifty nine years old, and

611
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:52.920
obviously she's devastated, and you know, and we're praying for her,

612
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:57.839
and I just know that God will bring her through.

613
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:04.319
He always, he faithfully does. He'll He'll bring her through

614
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:08.639
and continue to hold both of their hands through this

615
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:12.719
journey that they're you know, they're dealing with right now.

616
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:16.159
And you know, the Bible says that he who knows

617
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:19.639
their God will do mighty things, their mighty exploits. And

618
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:24.440
that knowing is through experience. It's an experiential knowing. It's

619
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.880
not just oh, I have faith and I believe and

620
00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:30.480
I know God. No, you've actually gone through the blitzes

621
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:32.039
of life, right, and.

622
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:35.440
He's putting your trust in him right in those saying.

623
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:38.639
You know, I think it was Job who said though

624
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:41.880
he's slay me, yes, Job, Yes, yet well I love

625
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:45.280
him and I think it's important right now to remember

626
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:48.599
the things that we've mentioned this before. C. S. Lewis

627
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:52.559
spoke often about the fact that we are not bodies

628
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:57.000
that have souls. We are souls. That's the essence of

629
00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:59.519
who you really are is made in the image of God.

630
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:03.440
You're in a eternal, an immortal soul, and you have

631
00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:07.079
a body for a temporary period of time here on earth,

632
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.880
and when that body goes away, if you have relationship

633
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:14.199
with God through Christ, you'll be with him in perfection forever.

634
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:17.599
If you don't have relationship with him, you'll get what

635
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:20.360
you chose on earth, which was you didn't want God

636
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:24.360
in control. He won't be in control for eternity. However

637
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:28.199
you define it, it's gonna be hell, right. But the

638
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:31.519
thing to remember is that I'm a soul. And even

639
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:34.199
if I don't get the answer to my prayer about healing,

640
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:38.880
about getting that job, about seeing that relationship get fixed,

641
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:44.760
of having peace, you know, in the world, even if

642
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:48.280
I don't get that answer to prayer for my body

643
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:51.440
and the temper, right now, my soul has the answer

644
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:55.440
to every prayer. I have peace with God. I'm unconditionally loved.

645
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:58.800
He's adopted me as a son or a daughter. He's

646
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:01.280
going to give us a perfect future when he recreates

647
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:04.000
the heavens and the earth. So we need to think

648
00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:08.119
as souls about what God's done for us that helps

649
00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:11.679
us to have hope even when the circumstances are pretty

650
00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:14.519
rough and they may not turn around completely. Now, God

651
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.199
does miracles and he turns around circumstances. He wants us

652
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:19.639
to pray, he wants us to express faith. He loves

653
00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:21.920
to show himself faithful. But He's got a bigger game

654
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:24.280
plan than just making things perfect for our bodies.

655
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:28.119
It's our souls, especially here on Earth, because those are

656
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:31.000
the things that the apostle Paul wrote about that you

657
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:34.480
leave those things behind and you reach out for those

658
00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:38.079
things that are calling you upward, that are elevating you.

659
00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:39.880
You know I wrote this down last time because you

660
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:42.320
and I we talked about C. S. Lewis, and going

661
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:44.679
back to what you said just a moment ago, you said,

662
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:47.079
aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in.

663
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:50.239
Aim at earth and you will get neither right.

664
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:55.519
That speaks to live for the soul right, and it'll

665
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:57.639
be a blessing for your life on Earth. It won't

666
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:00.599
be perfect or easy, but you'll have joy. But if

667
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:04.440
you aim at earth and live for the body. You

668
00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:08.199
can't get satisfaction down here. No, that's impossible. Yeah, and

669
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:09.119
you'll miss heaven.

670
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:14.920
Yeah, the answers, the answer lies with God. When you're elevated.

671
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.199
You know, we pray the Lord's prayer, Our Father, who

672
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:19.880
are in heaven. He's in heaven. He's not on Yes,

673
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:23.400
his presence is, but his reign I mean where he

674
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:26.599
is thrown is is in heaven. And that's what we

675
00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:30.480
go to. We get out of this morass, this earthly environment.

676
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:33.920
We go up to heaven and talk to Father God,

677
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:36.800
talk to Abba Father and say God this, I'm having

678
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:41.039
a hard time here. And you know that's to me.

679
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:44.320
That's where grace reigns, right where we can enter the

680
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:48.159
throne room of grace and receive God's mercy because of

681
00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:51.239
what Jesus did at Calvary. Forty five seconds left, Jeff,

682
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:52.760
I'll let you round it up. Go ahead.

683
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:57.559
Well, the prayer that Jesus prayed and gave us says,

684
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:02.320
your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

685
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:05.920
That's what you're speaking of. So help us every minute

686
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:09.679
to live as souls who remember that God's kingdom, the

687
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:12.360
peace of Christ, and the eternal life he gives us

688
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:16.159
and our mission to reconcile people to God. That's our goal.

689
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:19.280
So encourage people with that. You have hope in Christ,

690
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:21.719
look for it in Bible, look for it in prayer.

691
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.880
Thank you, and picture that God has your hand just

692
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:29.559

On Sunday, November two, Americans will fall back to standard

time despite growing concerns over the health and safety risks

night before and after the change, adjust the timing of

717
00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:51.960

770
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:45.960
Welcome back Bill Martinez here along with MRC's Tim Graham,

771
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:48.880
the one in on lamest trim. Mister Tim, I should say,

772
00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:53.840
how we doing good well over the weekend. The network's

773
00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:56.440
dead it again? Huh? They go gaga over the no

774
00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:59.960
Kings protest giving them I mean, this is incredible. Eighteen

775
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:03.880
times more coverage than the conservative March for Life gatherings.

776
00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:06.079
I mean, is this becoming too obvious or what?

777
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:08.960
It is? The pattern?

778
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:09.440
You know?

779
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:14.079
I just feel it's important to count up the minutes

780
00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:18.039
and seconds. Now, it's only Saturday night. It didn't do

781
00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:20.760
Sunday morning. In fact, they were still doing it Monday morning.

782
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:25.719
No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. But I every year

783
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:27.920
when the March for Life happens, I have to add

784
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:32.239
up the minuscule press attention or the network attention it gets.

785
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:39.079
And yeah, fifty seconds on these networks in January, ABC

786
00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:41.199
didn't have a newscast on Saturday night, so we didn't

787
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:46.280
include them. But yeah, eighteen minutes on CBS and NBC

788
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:49.360
and NPR and PBS and so yes, we have now

789
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:52.599
defunded public broadcasting at least for the moment. But it

790
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:56.079
continues to act exactly the way it always does, promoting

791
00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:58.800
left wing protesters right exactly.

792
00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:03.239
Well, you got to see MSNBC, PBS, and NPR dedicating

793
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:08.400
somewhat almost eighteen minutes for the no Kings protests against

794
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:09.719
President Trump, right.

795
00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:12.800
And they all led with it. It was Story.

796
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:15.920
Numero who the big headline not for them, And.

797
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:19.599
They would use words like massive protest, you know, I

798
00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:23.320
mean the other thing at misses Bill and I laugh

799
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:25.519
at this every time I go looking for it when

800
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:29.199
they're reporting on the left? Are they described as the left?

801
00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:33.079
Did they call them liberals? Progressive socialists? Now they don't

802
00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:36.599
use it. They almost didn't use the word democrats. Well,

803
00:44:36.599 --> 00:44:38.760
who spoke at these rallies at least in DC? It

804
00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:43.639
was Bernie Sanders, you know, and several radical knots at

805
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:47.719
the DC protests. They don't show you protest speakers. They

806
00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:52.000
just go find individuals that look sympathetic, you know, protesters

807
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.400
who say I love the Constitution.

808
00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:57.360
Right right exactly? Well, this full idea of no kings anyway,

809
00:44:57.400 --> 00:44:59.920
And it's ridiculous, I mean, even though they had, you know,

810
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:02.599
millions of people across the country supposedly turning out for

811
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:05.960
this thing. But I mean, how is how is President

812
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:09.079
Trump a king? I mean, if he was a king,

813
00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:12.199
the government would still be open for business, would he not?

814
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:16.440
Yeah, And some of the fun on social media over

815
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:21.880
the weekend was Hanadas having a no King's protest, England's

816
00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:23.719
having a no King's protest.

817
00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:26.000
He's a comedy. It's like, yeah, you guys have a king,

818
00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:26.760
So I don't know.

819
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:31.320
Apparently there was a memo from Democrats abroad saying, well,

820
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:33.559
and these countries with kings were calling it the no

821
00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:38.599
tyrants protes you know. Yeah, but yeah, I mean, I

822
00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:42.000
think the problem here is all of these people have

823
00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:46.320
convinced themselves that Trump is the enemy of democracy because

824
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:51.199
Democrats equate themselves with democracy. So when they lose, democracy

825
00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:55.480
is dying. Yes, you know, when they win, democracy is

826
00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:56.320
flourishing again.

827
00:45:57.079 --> 00:45:57.280
Yeah.

828
00:45:57.280 --> 00:45:59.840
But let's let's let's get real here. Let's let's define

829
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:03.199
democracy according to the constitution. I mean, this is a

830
00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:07.119
democratic republic. We say democracy just to shorten it up.

831
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:13.039
But because their wordsmithing, they're fooling people into thinking that

832
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:16.199
democracy is under attack, which you know, I find quite

833
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:19.719
rich because it seems the people with the arrows and

834
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:23.360
the bullets that are shooting democracy down are those that

835
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:27.800
are claiming democracy is under attack the Democratic party itself.

836
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:31.800
Yeah, I mean, I'm just so tired of this idea

837
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:35.400
that they equate themselves with democracy, and they equate the

838
00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:40.800
majority of people who voted for Trump. You know, somehow,

839
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:44.039
when we have an election trump wins, democracy has failed.

840
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:46.519
I mean, that's it's like, why can any of you

841
00:46:46.639 --> 00:46:50.920
accept that Trump won. The Republicans are in control of

842
00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:54.800
both houses of Congress narrowly, But it's the whole idea

843
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:57.400
of when they're not in power in any piece of

844
00:46:57.440 --> 00:46:58.000
the government.

845
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:00.519
You know, you know who.

846
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:03.519
The kings are, they should be protesting the judges, the

847
00:47:03.760 --> 00:47:07.800
unelected judges who are constantly telling you know, well you

848
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:11.639
can't I order you the ice to wear body cameras,

849
00:47:11.760 --> 00:47:15.360
I order all they make all these orders, yes.

850
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:19.880
You know, and clog the courts. Nobody elected them.

851
00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:23.920
Right, exactly. Well, And the thing that's again that's so

852
00:47:24.119 --> 00:47:28.199
crazy and misrepresented about this is that the very thing

853
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:33.559
they're revolting against is what the Democratic Party is put

854
00:47:33.599 --> 00:47:36.239
into play. The Democratic Party has given rise to these

855
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:40.480
democratic socialists. The pain that these kids are feeling is

856
00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:44.519
the result of democratic policies, just you know, in the

857
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:50.519
modern era, from Barack Obama, Obamacare, the stuff that Joe

858
00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:55.800
Biden did, adding to our national debt now thirty seven

859
00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:59.840
trillion in counting how much did he contribute. I mean,

860
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:02.920
all this is putting pressure on a way of life

861
00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:05.840
and a future for the young people who are coming

862
00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:09.920
in that when you're in pain like that, the tradition says, hey,

863
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:13.000
you offer a bunch of free stuff, and these young

864
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:16.480
people will rally around the free stuff, not realizing that

865
00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:18.800
free stuff isn't forever.

866
00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:22.639
Well, and I think the Democrats didn't do as well

867
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:26.360
among younger voters as they wanted, specifically younger men. Yeah,

868
00:48:26.360 --> 00:48:29.400
because yes, we have an affordability problem for young people.

869
00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:31.800
Young people are going to find it really hard to

870
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:34.920
buy a home. Certainly in some of these metro areas

871
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.599
like DC, they're going to be priced out of the

872
00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:42.000
housing market. And some people have revolted against the Democrats

873
00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:46.119
because of the affordability problem. And yeah, their answer is

874
00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:49.079
like Zorra and mom Donnie saying free bosses, city owned

875
00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:52.719
grocery stores. You know, doubled down on what the problem

876
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:53.719
was in the first price.

877
00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:56.960
Yeah, you're going to get to fix rent. There's gonna

878
00:48:56.960 --> 00:48:59.280
be a freeze on rent prices and everything. So now

879
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.000
what are we going to do? You know, can you

880
00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:06.320
say slumlords, let's bring you know, send in the slumlords,

881
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:08.599
you know, along with the clowns.

882
00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:13.440
Why not, Well, when when when left wing policies have

883
00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:19.320
unexpected or unintended consequences, they basically say, well, our hearts

884
00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:21.639
were in the right place, so you can't really blame us.

885
00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:24.239
You know, that's kind of the funny part.

886
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:27.719
They're going to say, well, all right, so pro our

887
00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:32.280
policies caused an economic problem, let's blame capitalism, you know.

888
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:35.079
Right exactly. Your hearts may be in the right place,

889
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:37.719
but last time I check, we need more than a

890
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:42.000
heart to run a government. Like ahead, like some intelligence

891
00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:45.400
that would say, these theories have never worked out in

892
00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:49.679
the history of mankind. If anything, they bring shared misery

893
00:49:49.719 --> 00:49:53.239
and devastation some cases where it gets really out of hand.

894
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:56.360
We're talking human carnage. Oh, by the.

895
00:49:56.280 --> 00:49:59.599
Way, yeah, I mean certainly in you know, this is

896
00:49:59.639 --> 00:50:03.840
why democracy is important. This is why checks and balances

897
00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:07.760
are important. And you know, in a democratic system, fine,

898
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:09.639
go out and protests.

899
00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:10.360
In the Street's good for you.

900
00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:13.239
But it's just like again, when the Tea Party people

901
00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:16.039
broke out in two thousand and nine or even into

902
00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:20.679
twenty fourteen, you know, protesting Obama. They didn't see that

903
00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:23.679
as flourishing democracy. They saw it as, oh, look at

904
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:26.559
this pile of racists, right.

905
00:50:26.639 --> 00:50:29.760
Yeah, exactly. And then of course you have lowist learner

906
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:33.239
in the irs doing everything they could to defund and

907
00:50:33.679 --> 00:50:38.679
you know, you know, interfere with banking and tax exemption

908
00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:42.159
and on and on, which I maintained him has affected

909
00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:46.000
the voting cycles, probably at least nine voting cycles. Because still,

910
00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:47.880
I mean, what they did is they put a lot

911
00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:53.039
of these you know, these tea party associations and these clubs,

912
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:55.800
they put them out of business. And why, I mean,

913
00:50:55.800 --> 00:50:59.840
it was all you know about voter manipulation, and you know,

914
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:03.000
it came and it went and it's almost like Atlas

915
00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:06.119
shrugged here nobody, you know, no big whoop. Right, But

916
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:08.840
wait a minute. Then Trump says, hey, look at I

917
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:11.239
think the twenty twenty election might have been fixed. We

918
00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:14.320
got all these obvious signs and everything, and oh my god,

919
00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:16.800
hell breaks loose and let's throw people in jail.

920
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:20.559
Well, and I think it's always important to realize, yeah,

921
00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:22.599
that the media is biased.

922
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:24.599
Biomission is a crucial part in all this.

923
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:26.840
You know, back in the Obama years, we made this

924
00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:30.960
point repeatedly that the whole story of Lois Learner, who

925
00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:35.199
was in charge of the tax exempt piece of the IRS. Yes,

926
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:38.320
had put a delay on anything with the words tea

927
00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:40.119
party on the application.

928
00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:42.639
Or conservative, yes, exactly.

929
00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:45.159
And so they but they didn't want to do that story.

930
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:48.039
It's the same thing where it's like, well, bias biomission

931
00:51:48.119 --> 00:51:51.559
is like one of the reasons why you can say

932
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:53.840
the twenty twenty election was rigged because we're going to

933
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:56.840
run around saying the Hunter Biden laptop isn't a story,

934
00:51:56.880 --> 00:51:59.840
and if you insist it is, well, then it's rushing disinformation.

935
00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:03.119
And then in twenty twenty two they go, oh, I

936
00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:06.119
guess the Hunter Biden laptop was real. And that's where

937
00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:10.239
you're like, Okay, you cheated with media omission. And that's

938
00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:12.519
the whole that's the whole problem we have is that

939
00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:16.559
these people think that they're in charge of information when

940
00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:18.559
they're giving us misinformation.

941
00:52:19.079 --> 00:52:21.719
Well, and when they get caught, okay, it's like here

942
00:52:21.760 --> 00:52:23.599
it is for years they tell you this story, this

943
00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:26.239
big fat lie, right, and so all of a sudden

944
00:52:26.239 --> 00:52:28.880
they get back in the corner the facts bear out

945
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.800
and they go, okay, well get over it. We've already

946
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:35.599
reported on it. Let's move on Well, wait a minute,

947
00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:38.320
you just spent years telling us a big lie, and

948
00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:42.559
now you give us ten seconds of a media narrative

949
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:46.239
where you you don't even apologize, You just kind of

950
00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:50.360
admit that maybe they got it wrong, and oh, we

951
00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:52.519
got something else to go deal with over here, right.

952
00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:56.320
I think that my favorite or un favorite is I

953
00:52:56.360 --> 00:52:59.920
think the New York Times admitted the hunter Biden lamptop

954
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:04.960
was real in a story on like a twenty paragraph twenty.

955
00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:07.880
I mean they buried that thing, you know. It's so

956
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:11.320
when they're wrong, yeah, you go get a go get

957
00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:14.199
a magnifying glass to try to find out where they

958
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:18.719
admitted it. So, yes, that's a problem. And you could

959
00:53:18.719 --> 00:53:22.079
say the same thing about COVID originated from milaf in China.

960
00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:25.599
They spent twenty twenty saying that's a conspiracy theory, and

961
00:53:25.639 --> 00:53:28.280
then Biden gets elected and then they're like the fact

962
00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:33.159
checkers quote unquote, go, well maybe that's maybe there's something

963
00:53:33.199 --> 00:53:34.119
to that theory.

964
00:53:34.440 --> 00:53:36.360
Yeah right, well how interesting.

965
00:53:36.599 --> 00:53:39.719
Yeah, like you didn't you didn't listen to what doctor

966
00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:42.519
Fauci said about it, you know a couple of years

967
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:45.559
before when he sent his people down there to work

968
00:53:45.559 --> 00:53:47.440
in that lab and then they came back and said,

969
00:53:47.719 --> 00:53:51.199
these guys are reckless, They're gonna They're gonna cause a problem. Well,

970
00:53:51.239 --> 00:53:54.199
sure enough, eighteen months later, after all this money that

971
00:53:54.320 --> 00:53:59.599
was invested in Wuhan laboratory, which supposedly Barack Obama had said,

972
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:03.159
I don't want any investment, any taxpayer money going into it.

973
00:54:03.519 --> 00:54:06.440
But somehow, in the name of gain a function, doctor

974
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:09.320
Fauci does that. And what price does he pay?

975
00:54:10.840 --> 00:54:13.719
None? I was still waiting. I know that there was

976
00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:14.360
some talk.

977
00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:18.719
Uh, when Trump was elected again the Republicans and Rentrol

978
00:54:18.880 --> 00:54:22.719
charge of Congress, we were going to get some Fauci testifies.

979
00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:24.760
I don't know if I've seen any of that. I mean,

980
00:54:24.840 --> 00:54:27.960
certainly again, the media have made him a hero. PBS

981
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:31.119
made a documentary about how he was a hero with

982
00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:32.119
our tax dollars that.

983
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:33.559
Were still funded by the government.

984
00:54:33.639 --> 00:54:37.679
Then right, uh, it's there has been a dramatic lack

985
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:41.519
of accountability on that. And you just have to ask yourself,

986
00:54:41.519 --> 00:54:44.440
this is the big question about the pandemic. Why would

987
00:54:44.519 --> 00:54:48.199
anyone in their right mind decide, let's weaponize a virus

988
00:54:48.239 --> 00:54:50.440
and see how that works out exactly?

989
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:54.719
Yeah, yeah, you're going to be a genier let's make

990
00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:57.960
a let's make a germ so dangerous so we can

991
00:54:57.960 --> 00:54:59.159
figure out how to fix it.

992
00:54:59.199 --> 00:55:01.239
Well, how about you not make it in the first place?

993
00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:04.159
Exactly what a novel idea. But you know what, they're

994
00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:06.239
not over now, They're trying to come up with something

995
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:09.480
better and more lethal. Well, this is how crazy they are.

996
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:13.800
Stay tuned for details. Tim Graham, the executive editor with NewsBusters,

997
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:15.880
has been our guest. Tim has always appreciate the time

998
00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:18.599
and the insight. Keep counting up those minutes and seconds,

999
00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:19.400
my friend.

1000
00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:21.960

1022

Well, Good morning America. Six minutes after the top of

1023
00:56:36.239 --> 00:56:39.000
the out Bill Martinez here with the infamous and one

1024
00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:42.119
and only doctor John Lott. Hey, doctor John, how are we.

1025
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:45.320
Doing doing great? Good to talk to you again, Bill.

1026
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:47.400
Hey, always good. Thank you so much for keeping us

1027
00:56:47.480 --> 00:56:52.440
up to date on the numbers that somehow between the

1028
00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:55.519
media and the government we can't seem to get them together.

1029
00:56:55.599 --> 00:56:58.679
What's what's the problem here is just it does math

1030
00:56:58.760 --> 00:57:00.159
no longer matter anymore?

1031
00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:04.280
I think mathematters. I think it's just that people have

1032
00:57:04.360 --> 00:57:07.880
to understand that they're different numbers that the government puts

1033
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:12.199
out and what they need. So what usually people just

1034
00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:16.920
focus on are the FBI data on crimes reported to police,

1035
00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:20.960
And over the last few years, there's been a drop

1036
00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:23.119
in the number of crimes that are report to police.

1037
00:57:23.159 --> 00:57:26.039
It's not a huge change, but it's been a drop.

1038
00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:30.119
But the thing people have to understand is only about

1039
00:57:30.159 --> 00:57:33.880
forty percent of violent crimes that report to police, only

1040
00:57:33.920 --> 00:57:37.559
about thirty percent of property crimes that report to police.

1041
00:57:38.159 --> 00:57:44.079
And you know, prior to COVID, the measures that we

1042
00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:46.960
have of crimes report to police and the measures that

1043
00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:51.079
we have of total crime generally went up and down together.

1044
00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:55.239
But since COVID, they've pretty much gone in opposite directions.

1045
00:57:55.280 --> 00:57:58.639
At the same time that we've had this small drop

1046
00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:01.920
in the number of crimes poor to police, we've had

1047
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:07.199
a huge explosion in our measures of total crime during

1048
00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:10.639
the Biding administration. During the four years of the Biden administration,

1049
00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:17.960
total violent crime soared by fifty nine percent. There is

1050
00:58:18.039 --> 00:58:20.599
never in the fifty two years that the Bureau of

1051
00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:24.360
Justice Statistics has put together this data, there has never

1052
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:28.280
been such a large percentage increase in our measures that

1053
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:32.320
we have of total crime. And you know, it's been huge.

1054
00:58:32.360 --> 00:58:36.079
There was a sixty three percent increase or sixty seven

1055
00:58:36.079 --> 00:58:39.960
percent increase in rape and sexual assaults, a thirty eight

1056
00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:43.880
percent increase in robbery, and a sixty two percent increase

1057
00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:48.400
in aggravate assaults. So these were very large increases, and

1058
00:58:48.440 --> 00:58:52.400
it's not that difficult to explain how these numbers have

1059
00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:57.559
been going in opposite directions. A couple main reasons for it.

1060
00:58:57.760 --> 00:59:01.039
One is whether or not people report crimes to the

1061
00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:04.360
police depends in part on whether they think the criminals

1062
00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:07.639
are going to be caught and punished. There's been a

1063
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:13.800
huge drop in the rate that we have arrests occurring there.

1064
00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:18.079
We've also made it more difficult for people to go

1065
00:59:18.199 --> 00:59:21.000
and report crimes. So you know, six seven years ago,

1066
00:59:21.719 --> 00:59:23.880
if you were to go and call up nine to

1067
00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:27.079
one one, they send out a police car to go

1068
00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:31.159
and take the police report. That's there nowadays in many

1069
00:59:31.199 --> 00:59:33.480
parts of the country, if you call up, they'll ask

1070
00:59:33.559 --> 00:59:36.880
you if the criminals stole there committing the crime, and

1071
00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:39.480
of course the vast majority of times people will say no,

1072
00:59:39.679 --> 00:59:43.320
the criminals already left. And then they'll say, well, okay,

1073
00:59:43.360 --> 00:59:46.079
you can come down to the police station and wait

1074
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:50.360
in line, and you know, we'll take a police report. Well,

1075
00:59:50.400 --> 00:59:52.280
you know, the problem is is that if you make

1076
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:57.079
it more difficult, more time consuming for somebody to go

1077
00:59:57.280 --> 01:00:00.280
and make a police report. And also the fact that

1078
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:04.199
the outcome is less certain that something's going to happen

1079
01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:06.880
now than used to be the case. And there are

1080
01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:08.639
going to be some people who are going to say,

1081
01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:11.840
you know, it's just not worth my time to go

1082
01:00:11.880 --> 01:00:14.519
down to the police station and wait in line. And

1083
01:00:14.599 --> 01:00:17.599
so you'll have this. You know, simply calling up nine

1084
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:21.039
to one one doesn't result in a police report. It

1085
01:00:21.079 --> 01:00:25.199
doesn't result in the numbers being included in their numbers

1086
01:00:25.239 --> 01:00:29.079
of rape or section you know, robbery or eggvate assaults

1087
01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:33.679
and so uh. That also has helped create this gap

1088
01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:36.679
between the number of reported crimes and the number of

1089
01:00:36.719 --> 01:00:39.719
total crimes that are there. And so, you know, while

1090
01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:42.079
a lot of people are talking about say, look, the

1091
01:00:42.159 --> 01:00:46.679
number of reported crimes has fallen, the media has kind

1092
01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:50.920
of missed the story that the total number of crimes

1093
01:00:50.599 --> 01:00:56.039
has soared and been an unprecedented percentage increase that we've

1094
01:00:56.400 --> 01:00:57.440
never seen before.

1095
01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:01.119
But with these numbers, why would you questions say, why

1096
01:01:01.159 --> 01:01:03.679
has it fallen? I mean that doesn't seem to make sense.

1097
01:01:04.079 --> 01:01:06.519
I mean, here we've got more illegals in our country

1098
01:01:06.559 --> 01:01:11.119
right now, the reports of gangs running wild in the streets.

1099
01:01:11.239 --> 01:01:13.880
You know, one thing that throws the flag up for me, John,

1100
01:01:14.159 --> 01:01:19.159
is what about retaliation If these criminals aren't being you know,

1101
01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:23.079
they're not being prosecuted, and there's no accountability, and somebody

1102
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:25.719
goes through the measure of you know, going down to

1103
01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:29.079
the police station and filing report and then the police

1104
01:01:29.079 --> 01:01:32.440
go knocking at this guy's door and nothing happens to them.

1105
01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:34.280
Well guess what the next door of that guy's going

1106
01:01:34.320 --> 01:01:35.199
to knock on? Right?

1107
01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:40.159
Well, surely it's demoralized police. I mean, police risk their

1108
01:01:40.199 --> 01:01:43.079
safety when they go and arrest people. It's not the

1109
01:01:43.159 --> 01:01:45.480
easiest job to go and do in the world by

1110
01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:49.119
any means. And you know, if they go and arrest somebody,

1111
01:01:49.119 --> 01:01:52.199
but the person is immediately released. I mean, you have

1112
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:57.159
places like Manhattan and New York City where you maybe

1113
01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:03.239
sixty percent of the cases dropped against people. You have Washington, DC.

1114
01:02:03.239 --> 01:02:05.199
And in these cases, John, hang on second, explain to

1115
01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:09.199
the people in these sixty percent are these just you know,

1116
01:02:09.320 --> 01:02:13.119
some some parking ticket or you know, somebody jumped over

1117
01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:16.880
the turnstile of the subway. You know, what kind of

1118
01:02:16.920 --> 01:02:18.480
crimes are we talking about here.

1119
01:02:18.559 --> 01:02:21.800
We're talking about assaults. Well, you know, in a case

1120
01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:31.440
in Washington, d C. The crimes involving adults are prosecuted

1121
01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:35.000
by the US Attorney and that's somebody who's appointed by

1122
01:02:35.000 --> 01:02:39.239
the president. And during the Buying administration, you had about

1123
01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:45.880
two thirds of the violent crimes in twenty twenty two,

1124
01:02:47.119 --> 01:02:50.599
the US Attorney there from the Buienn administration refused to

1125
01:02:50.679 --> 01:02:54.920
prosecute those cases. Even during twenty twenty three, it was

1126
01:02:54.960 --> 01:02:58.800
still like fifty six percent of the cases they refused

1127
01:02:58.840 --> 01:03:03.000
to go and prosecute. And so you know, it's not

1128
01:03:03.039 --> 01:03:07.840
too surprising that you have a crime problem there when

1129
01:03:08.679 --> 01:03:11.119
you know you don't make it risky for criminals to

1130
01:03:11.119 --> 01:03:12.039
go and commit crime.

1131
01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:15.519
Yeah, don't turning the tables though, John, Right.

1132
01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:19.119
Yeah, No, I mean you got to You're going to

1133
01:03:19.239 --> 01:03:21.440
have to be serious about this. You're going to have

1134
01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:23.719
to make it risky for criminals to go and commit

1135
01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:26.719
crime if you're going to reduce crime. And as you say,

1136
01:03:26.800 --> 01:03:30.119
it's not really rocket science to see that if I

1137
01:03:30.199 --> 01:03:34.079
don't prosecute criminals, if I don't punish them, if I

1138
01:03:34.119 --> 01:03:36.840
don't put them in jail, if I don't make it

1139
01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:40.639
so victims are able to go and defend themselves, you're

1140
01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:43.159
going to have more crime. And you know, I look

1141
01:03:43.199 --> 01:03:48.679
at the data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, they're

1142
01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:52.800
National Crime Victimization data, and I see this huge increase

1143
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:57.440
in violent crime. And as you say, we've had this

1144
01:03:57.639 --> 01:04:01.639
huge influx of illegal aliens that have come into the country,

1145
01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:04.639
we've seen at the same time not making it risky

1146
01:04:04.679 --> 01:04:08.519
for criminals to go and commit crime. You know, it's

1147
01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:11.400
not surprising to me that we've seen this big increase

1148
01:04:11.440 --> 01:04:14.519
in crime. And I suspect this year that we won't

1149
01:04:14.559 --> 01:04:17.440
know the data for you know, another year from now

1150
01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:21.280
for this year, the official final data. But I suspect

1151
01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:25.039
crime has been going down substantially this year for many reasons.

1152
01:04:25.079 --> 01:04:28.920
I mean, we've seen in some localities like Washington, d C.

1153
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:34.199
A big drop, but the fact that Trump is deporting

1154
01:04:34.880 --> 01:04:40.159
illegal aliens, and whether or not you're deported, they've been

1155
01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:43.800
focusing on criminals, So they've been taking some violent criminals

1156
01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:46.280
out of the area, but also even the ones that

1157
01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:49.280
they don't catch, they make it risky for them to

1158
01:04:49.320 --> 01:04:52.079
go and commit crime. How do you protect yourself if

1159
01:04:52.079 --> 01:04:55.599
you're an illegal alien criminal from being deported. Well, one

1160
01:04:55.639 --> 01:04:58.800
thing is to keep off police radar to make sure

1161
01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:01.719
you're not arrested, because if you get arrested under the

1162
01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:05.079
Trump administration, you know ice will be there to go

1163
01:05:05.199 --> 01:05:07.480
and pick you up when you get you when you're

1164
01:05:07.519 --> 01:05:11.679
at the courthouse there and so. And the way you

1165
01:05:11.800 --> 01:05:14.719
keep off of police radar is not to commit much

1166
01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:15.639
crime right now?

1167
01:05:16.320 --> 01:05:20.239
Pretty simple, huh, you would think, so, all things considered,

1168
01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:21.800
I'll tell you we got to go to break and

1169
01:05:21.800 --> 01:05:23.880
we've got more from doctor John Lott on the other

1170
01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:24.960
side to stay with us.

1171
01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:29.360
On Sunday, November two, Americans will fall back to standard

1172
01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:32.480
time despite growing concerns over the health and safety risks

1173
01:05:32.519 --> 01:05:36.320
of seasonal time changes. According to sleep experts, making standard

1174
01:05:36.320 --> 01:05:38.760
time permanent could improve the lives of millions. In the

1181
01:05:56.920 --> 01:06:00.400
in school, and improve sleep at night on less.

1182
01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:02.440
Than the effects of the time change. Try these tips.

1183
01:06:02.679 --> 01:06:04.840
Get at least seven hours of sleep per night before

1184
01:06:04.840 --> 01:06:07.719
and after the change, adjust the timing of daily routines

1185
01:06:07.760 --> 01:06:10.519
like meals and exercise, and head out for early morning

1186
01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:13.320
sunlight during the week after the time change. For more

1232
01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:34.960

1234

Delegates engage in teaching sessions, panel discussions, ministry showcases and

Welcome back nineteen minutes after the top of the r

1259
01:10:04.720 --> 01:10:06.920
Right now, Doctor John Lott is with us. He's the

1260
01:10:06.920 --> 01:10:10.199
president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, also the author

1261
01:10:10.319 --> 01:10:13.279
of Gun Control. Miss John, A lot of this is

1262
01:10:13.399 --> 01:10:16.520
kind of like what happened in New York when you

1263
01:10:16.600 --> 01:10:19.920
took all the playing closed officers off the streets. What

1264
01:10:20.319 --> 01:10:22.760
did they say. The response was, all the guns are

1265
01:10:22.760 --> 01:10:26.279
going to come out of the cupboards and onto the

1266
01:10:26.319 --> 01:10:29.520
street because you have nobody monitoring them. And that's exactly

1267
01:10:29.560 --> 01:10:32.000
what happened. I mean, it didn't take a long, you know,

1268
01:10:32.119 --> 01:10:34.520
long time for that occurred, you know, for to occur.

1269
01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:38.199
And then of course then you have a law enforcement

1270
01:10:38.279 --> 01:10:42.399
that has been you know, I guess dissuaded, you know,

1271
01:10:42.520 --> 01:10:46.920
from making these arrest and putting their lives on the line,

1272
01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:49.760
you know, for what for these guys coming and going out.

1273
01:10:49.800 --> 01:10:51.800
I mean, you know, these people are causing all kinds

1274
01:10:51.800 --> 01:10:54.039
of problems. You know, America looks at it and says,

1275
01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:56.840
wait a minute, this guy, guy's assn't a rest record

1276
01:10:56.880 --> 01:10:59.880
twice the length of my arm, and he keeps on,

1277
01:11:00.119 --> 01:11:01.479
you know, just going in. I mean, it's just a

1278
01:11:01.520 --> 01:11:04.800
swinging door there in New York. And but I got

1279
01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:08.520
to think, with Trump's focus on you know, crime and

1280
01:11:08.600 --> 01:11:12.840
punishment in law enforcement, that this is putting a signal

1281
01:11:13.000 --> 01:11:15.960
across the country. Some blue states and of course, you know,

1282
01:11:16.000 --> 01:11:19.239
Gavin Newsom being Gavin Newsom is such a knucklehead, he

1283
01:11:19.640 --> 01:11:22.640
just refuses common sense. But I got to believe John

1284
01:11:22.720 --> 01:11:26.680
that even in red states, these das, they're upping their

1285
01:11:26.720 --> 01:11:28.600
game and saying, hey, look at we need to you know,

1286
01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:31.920
Trump is right, we need to focus on law and order, right.

1287
01:11:34.000 --> 01:11:38.399
Right, you know, I mean, I hope the fact that

1288
01:11:38.439 --> 01:11:41.359
people see the reduction in crime in places like d

1289
01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:46.640
C and now Memphis where Trump has moved in. You

1290
01:11:46.680 --> 01:11:51.479
know that that will create political pressure on politicians in

1291
01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:55.640
Chicago and Los Angeles and other places you know, where

1292
01:11:55.680 --> 01:11:59.760
people the citizens in those areas will say, look, you

1293
01:11:59.800 --> 01:12:03.000
know this, why are we having to put up with

1294
01:12:03.079 --> 01:12:06.359
crime here? You know, if it's this simple, just let

1295
01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:09.159
the police go and do their job. Put more police

1296
01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:10.199
on the street.

1297
01:12:10.439 --> 01:12:10.600
You know.

1298
01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:13.800
So you know, in Washington, d C. You had about

1299
01:12:13.880 --> 01:12:20.600
thirteen hundred patrol officers for seven hundred and twenty thousand people. Well,

1300
01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:23.359
you know, maybe about four hundred of those are on

1301
01:12:23.479 --> 01:12:26.399
duty at any point in time. So when Trump has

1302
01:12:26.479 --> 01:12:31.520
gone and put you know, National Guarden, more FBI agents

1303
01:12:31.600 --> 01:12:36.399
atf agents and others on the street as well as

1304
01:12:36.439 --> 01:12:40.439
putting National guards there, he effectively more than doubled the

1305
01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:42.920
number of people, number of boots that you have on

1306
01:12:42.960 --> 01:12:46.079
the ground at any point in time. That's increased the

1307
01:12:46.199 --> 01:12:49.439
arrest rates. We've seen a big increase in arrests both

1308
01:12:49.520 --> 01:12:54.560
there and in Memphis. You had a change in who

1309
01:12:54.600 --> 01:12:57.399
the US Attorney was under the buy An administration. As

1310
01:12:57.439 --> 01:13:00.680
we talked about, they just refused to prosper lots of

1311
01:13:00.760 --> 01:13:04.800
violent criminals. Well, Judge Janine Piro has a very different

1312
01:13:04.800 --> 01:13:09.319
attitude towards that. She's if you do the crime, she's

1313
01:13:09.359 --> 01:13:12.000
gonna go and make sure you get punished and you're

1314
01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:15.600
going to serve real time. And it's more than that.

1315
01:13:16.079 --> 01:13:20.960
In Washington, d C. President Trump has put pressure on

1316
01:13:21.199 --> 01:13:26.239
DC to start issuing concealed carry permits. Prior to the

1317
01:13:26.279 --> 01:13:29.600
Trump administration, it was taking six to eight months or

1318
01:13:29.640 --> 01:13:32.680
more for people to get a concealed carry permit. Now

1319
01:13:32.720 --> 01:13:37.199
it's two weeks. Well, you know that allowing victims to

1320
01:13:37.199 --> 01:13:39.680
be able to go and defend themselves also makes it

1321
01:13:39.800 --> 01:13:42.680
riskier for criminals to go and commit crime. And so

1322
01:13:43.239 --> 01:13:47.600
he's basically, you know, hit on all cylinders there. I mean,

1323
01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:50.159
the one thing I'll say about the Democrats is that

1324
01:13:50.279 --> 01:13:53.680
at least they were very consistent they didn't want to

1325
01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:56.399
make it risky for criminals to commit crime in terms

1326
01:13:56.399 --> 01:13:59.760
of policing or in terms of the court system. They

1327
01:13:59.800 --> 01:14:02.199
all didn't want to make it risky for criminals to

1328
01:14:02.199 --> 01:14:05.520
commit crime in terms of letting the victims be able

1329
01:14:05.520 --> 01:14:06.720
to go and defend themselves.

1330
01:14:07.960 --> 01:14:10.880
Well, John, what about New York? I mean, you've got

1331
01:14:10.960 --> 01:14:16.039
a democratic socialist you know, would be mayor quite possibly,

1332
01:14:16.680 --> 01:14:22.079
and he's really going back and away from law and order.

1333
01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:25.600
I mean his approach. I mean, he said some things

1334
01:14:25.600 --> 01:14:28.920
that he since has walked back, but you know, I

1335
01:14:29.000 --> 01:14:31.239
believe him the first time and when he said that

1336
01:14:31.279 --> 01:14:34.880
he wasn't all that interested in law in order. He

1337
01:14:34.920 --> 01:14:40.199
wants chaos in that city. And I don't know. I mean, yes,

1338
01:14:40.279 --> 01:14:42.520
you got young kids, and these young people that have

1339
01:14:42.600 --> 01:14:46.640
been indoctrinated and thinking socialism is the way, and they're

1340
01:14:46.680 --> 01:14:50.680
buying into this propaganda, you know, from this young man

1341
01:14:50.720 --> 01:14:53.880
who's you know, I mean thirty three years. What kind

1342
01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:56.079
of experience does he have to run a city of

1343
01:14:56.119 --> 01:14:59.920
this size and with his policies is promoting especially when

1344
01:14:59.920 --> 01:15:01.640
the comes to you know, law and order.

1345
01:15:01.720 --> 01:15:05.920
John, Right, Well, I mean even when he's kind of

1346
01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:09.039
walked it back, he's basically the way I read it

1347
01:15:09.119 --> 01:15:12.840
is he's he kind of regrets the wording that he used,

1348
01:15:13.359 --> 01:15:16.079
but not, as far as I can tell, kind of

1349
01:15:16.079 --> 01:15:20.239
the underlying meaning that he had there, and you know,

1350
01:15:22.199 --> 01:15:24.319
New Yorkers are going to get what they're voting for.

1351
01:15:24.359 --> 01:15:26.840
I mean, this is a guy who doesn't think that

1352
01:15:26.880 --> 01:15:30.640
you should even have prisons. He thinks violence is a

1353
01:15:30.720 --> 01:15:34.319
quote social construct, you know, so it's just something that's

1354
01:15:34.319 --> 01:15:38.359
in our mind. It doesn't really exist, I don't know.

1355
01:15:38.479 --> 01:15:40.239
I mean, you go and you tell the woman who's

1356
01:15:40.239 --> 01:15:44.960
been raped, or the person who's been mugged, or the

1357
01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:49.239
person who's been aggvate assaulted or murdered. You know, my

1358
01:15:49.319 --> 01:15:52.039
guess is somebody who's murdered doesn't view it as just

1359
01:15:52.079 --> 01:15:56.079
a social construct. There's a life that's been lost, and

1360
01:15:56.119 --> 01:16:00.159
there's a family that's grieving because they've lost a loved one.

1361
01:16:01.680 --> 01:16:01.840
You know.

1362
01:16:01.960 --> 01:16:05.600
The thing is what they don't seem to appreciate is

1363
01:16:06.359 --> 01:16:12.199
who the victims of these crimes are. In places like Washington,

1364
01:16:12.279 --> 01:16:16.760
d C, over ninety percent of the murder victims are black.

1365
01:16:17.680 --> 01:16:21.880
In Chicago, something like eighty percent of the murder victims

1366
01:16:21.880 --> 01:16:27.119
are black. So you have all these politicians like Wes Moore,

1367
01:16:27.359 --> 01:16:32.560
the Democratic governor of Maryland, who is accusing Trump's policies

1368
01:16:32.640 --> 01:16:36.720
in places like d C as being racist. You know,

1369
01:16:38.119 --> 01:16:40.640
it seems to me, if you care about trying to

1370
01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:45.359
save the lives of minorities and make their lives better off,

1371
01:16:46.119 --> 01:16:47.880
you have to go and cut down the crime. And

1372
01:16:47.920 --> 01:16:51.439
it's more than just the direct victims of crime. You know,

1373
01:16:51.520 --> 01:16:56.279
in a heavily black city like Washington, d C. And

1374
01:16:56.319 --> 01:16:59.840
you have businesses closed because of the crime, who owns

1375
01:17:00.000 --> 01:17:03.199
some of those businesses, Who works in those stores, who

1376
01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:08.640
shops in those stores? They're overwhelmingly blacks. Who owns homes

1377
01:17:08.800 --> 01:17:12.399
in the areas whose property values are depressed because of

1378
01:17:12.439 --> 01:17:15.319
the high crime that you have in those areas, it's

1379
01:17:15.439 --> 01:17:20.960
overwhelmingly blacks that are there. So you know, the damage

1380
01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:26.319
and harm that's done to minorities is huge across the board.

1381
01:17:26.439 --> 01:17:26.800
There.

1382
01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:30.279
It seems like if you do care about minorities, you're

1383
01:17:30.319 --> 01:17:32.319
gonna want to go and do the types of things

1384
01:17:32.319 --> 01:17:36.840
that Trump is doing in order to save black lives.

1385
01:17:37.479 --> 01:17:39.640
Yeah, but they hate Trump so much they can't even

1386
01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:42.720
perceive it. John, I mean, I agree, their mind is

1387
01:17:42.760 --> 01:17:45.279
so closed to all this. And the fact of the

1388
01:17:45.319 --> 01:17:49.319
matter is, it's interesting. I mean, you know, I'm Donnie

1389
01:17:49.359 --> 01:17:53.920
says it's a social construct. Well, it is in a sense.

1390
01:17:53.960 --> 01:17:57.560
He's right, but he's wrong in terms of who constructed it.

1391
01:17:57.840 --> 01:18:01.000
Who constructed it, by and large are the Democrats that

1392
01:18:01.199 --> 01:18:04.319
have come up with these goofy policies, have they not?

1393
01:18:06.439 --> 01:18:09.439
Well, yeah, as I say before, at least they're consistent.

1394
01:18:09.560 --> 01:18:11.479
They don't want to make it risky for criminals to

1395
01:18:11.520 --> 01:18:14.600
go and commit crime, either with higher rest rates, higher

1396
01:18:14.600 --> 01:18:18.880
conviction rates, longer prison sentences, or letting victims be able

1397
01:18:18.880 --> 01:18:22.560
to go and defend themselves. If my research convinces me

1398
01:18:22.640 --> 01:18:26.600
of anything, the people who benefit the most from owning

1399
01:18:26.680 --> 01:18:29.640
guns are the people who are the most likely victims

1400
01:18:29.640 --> 01:18:32.680
of violent cross exactly, basically poor blacks who live in

1401
01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:34.039
high crime urban areas.

1402
01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:37.079
Right. Well, you know you brought up something earlier which

1403
01:18:37.119 --> 01:18:39.239
is key, and this is something we've been hammering on too,

1404
01:18:39.760 --> 01:18:41.600
is that you look at the Summer of Love. You

1405
01:18:41.640 --> 01:18:44.640
know what went across the country. All that destruction is

1406
01:18:44.680 --> 01:18:48.279
something to eight, you know, four billion dollars worth of damage,

1407
01:18:48.800 --> 01:18:50.960
and very little has talked about the job loss. And

1408
01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:52.960
you brought that up, and I'm glad you did, because

1409
01:18:53.000 --> 01:18:54.960
a lot of young people where they would go down

1410
01:18:55.000 --> 01:18:58.640
to the local pharmacy or some other you know, maybe

1411
01:18:59.039 --> 01:19:05.880
convenience or fast food facility and business. Those businesses are

1412
01:19:05.880 --> 01:19:10.000
gone and those jobs are gone, and nobody is reporting

1413
01:19:10.039 --> 01:19:12.760
on the number of job loss as a result of

1414
01:19:12.760 --> 01:19:15.960
Black lives matter in all this craziness, right.

1415
01:19:17.199 --> 01:19:20.960
Yeah, no, I agree. People get harmed in many different ways.

1416
01:19:21.000 --> 01:19:24.600
Their lives are destroyed, their jobs are gone, the places

1417
01:19:24.600 --> 01:19:29.520
that they shop or destroyed. You know, crime has real

1418
01:19:29.640 --> 01:19:34.159
costs in many different ways. And you know it's you know,

1419
01:19:34.600 --> 01:19:38.720
democrats will talk about things like food deserts supposedly where

1420
01:19:38.720 --> 01:19:42.880
people can't go and buy food. Well, you know, if

1421
01:19:42.960 --> 01:19:46.119
the stores closed, if the grocery store is closed in

1422
01:19:46.199 --> 01:19:50.000
certain areas because of the crime, you know, that's not

1423
01:19:50.039 --> 01:19:54.119
a surprising consequence of that. And so if they go

1424
01:19:54.359 --> 01:19:59.239
and allow the policies that contribute to the crime and

1425
01:19:59.279 --> 01:20:02.279
make sure that it occurs, then they have to take

1426
01:20:02.399 --> 01:20:06.319
some responsibility for you know, the stores not being in

1427
01:20:06.359 --> 01:20:08.079
those areas.

1428
01:20:07.800 --> 01:20:11.319
Exactly well, Doctor John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention

1429

1505
01:24:22.640 --> 01:24:24.600
Welcome morning, Welcome back, Bill Martinez.

1506
01:24:24.640 --> 01:24:24.800
Here.

1507
01:24:24.840 --> 01:24:26.840
For more information on the show, you go to Bill

1508
01:24:26.880 --> 01:24:29.600
Martinez Show dot com. Well, a new study is finding

1509
01:24:29.640 --> 01:24:31.920
the tens of millions of US children are without the

1510
01:24:32.000 --> 01:24:35.479
after school programs that their families want for them, a

1511
01:24:35.600 --> 01:24:38.720
largely unmetneed in every state. And after School Alliance to

1512
01:24:38.800 --> 01:24:43.199
Release is releasing data on parents' views on after school programs.

1513
01:24:43.479 --> 01:24:45.880
And here to talk more about it is Jody Grant,

1514
01:24:45.880 --> 01:24:49.560
the executive director of After School Alliance, and Heather Nesley,

1515
01:24:49.960 --> 01:24:55.159
the president of New York Live Foundation. Jody and Heather, Welcome, Michelle,

1516
01:24:55.199 --> 01:24:55.640
good to have.

1517
01:24:55.640 --> 01:24:57.359
You with us, Thanks for having us.

1518
01:24:57.720 --> 01:24:58.159
Welcome.

1519
01:24:59.640 --> 01:25:02.439
How large are we talking about? The unmet demand for

1520
01:25:02.479 --> 01:25:06.199
after school programs nationally in each of the fifty states.

1521
01:25:06.239 --> 01:25:07.279
What are we talking about here?

1522
01:25:07.640 --> 01:25:10.399
That's a really good question. So what we are talking

1523
01:25:10.439 --> 01:25:13.680
about is twenty three million kids. So when we ask

1524
01:25:13.840 --> 01:25:17.279
parents what they wanted for their kids. For the parents

1525
01:25:17.359 --> 01:25:20.960
that wanted their kids in after school programs, three out

1526
01:25:21.000 --> 01:25:23.079
of four kids nationwide are missing out.

1527
01:25:23.840 --> 01:25:28.119
Wow, Heather, what about you know, working parents, how are

1528
01:25:28.159 --> 01:25:29.880
they managing the afternoon hours?

1529
01:25:29.920 --> 01:25:32.359
Now, well, that's why this is so critical.

1530
01:25:32.479 --> 01:25:32.720
You know.

1531
01:25:32.920 --> 01:25:35.920
Parents that were surveyed, eighty two percent of them said

1532
01:25:35.960 --> 01:25:38.560
that having their kids in after school helps them to

1533
01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:41.960
keep their job or to work extra hours, and eighty

1534
01:25:42.000 --> 01:25:44.600
eight percent said it actually boosts their productivity at work

1535
01:25:44.640 --> 01:25:46.720
because they know their kids are safe and being well

1536
01:25:46.760 --> 01:25:50.159
taken care of. It reduces their stress levels because they

1537
01:25:50.159 --> 01:25:50.880
know their kids are.

1538
01:25:50.760 --> 01:25:53.920
Safe exactly, And Jody, I got to imagine the parents

1539
01:25:53.920 --> 01:25:54.640
are loving this.

1540
01:25:55.319 --> 01:25:57.720
You know, that was one of the findings of this survey.

1541
01:25:57.800 --> 01:26:00.960
So we surveyed thirty thousand parents thanks to our partnership

1542
01:26:00.960 --> 01:26:04.479
with the New York Life Foundation, and ninety five percent

1543
01:26:04.560 --> 01:26:07.960
of parents are extremely satisfied with their programs. They love

1544
01:26:08.000 --> 01:26:11.159
it because it keeps their kids safe, it inspires learning,

1545
01:26:11.279 --> 01:26:13.279
and then it gives them peace of mind while they're

1546
01:26:13.319 --> 01:26:16.439
at work to know that their kids are not just safe,

1547
01:26:16.520 --> 01:26:19.920
but excited and having fun and doing what better in

1548
01:26:19.960 --> 01:26:21.000
school as a result.

1549
01:26:21.439 --> 01:26:24.920
Exactly, well, Heather, we like to encourage and incentivize a

1550
01:26:24.920 --> 01:26:29.800
good thing, right, right, they absolutely do, right. So obviously

1551
01:26:30.199 --> 01:26:32.279
parents are saying, hey, we need more, not less.

1552
01:26:33.479 --> 01:26:36.520
That's true. Yeah, we say across the board.

1553
01:26:36.560 --> 01:26:36.720
You know.

1554
01:26:36.720 --> 01:26:38.159
One of the things that came out from the survey

1555
01:26:38.279 --> 01:26:43.640
is parents, whether they're rural, urban, suburban, republican, independent Democrat,

1556
01:26:44.319 --> 01:26:47.199
they want to see greater investments in after school programs

1557
01:26:47.239 --> 01:26:50.279
because for our middle income families, for our low income families,

1558
01:26:50.680 --> 01:26:53.520
this is a stretch. And for our hire income families,

1559
01:26:53.960 --> 01:26:57.399
they are spending nine times more per child in after

1560
01:26:57.399 --> 01:27:00.520
school and extracurcal activities, and that's because they know it's

1561
01:27:00.520 --> 01:27:02.079
going to help their kids succeed.

1562
01:27:02.239 --> 01:27:05.760
Exactly, Heather, thirty thousand US parents. I mean, this was

1563
01:27:05.800 --> 01:27:07.199
a serious survey.

1564
01:27:06.920 --> 01:27:10.079
Right, absolutely, and I think it just underscores that there's

1565
01:27:10.079 --> 01:27:12.760
a need across the country in every state. And to

1566
01:27:12.840 --> 01:27:15.439
Jody's point, this really is not a political issue, right.

1567
01:27:15.640 --> 01:27:16.920
I Mean, there are a few things you can get

1568
01:27:16.920 --> 01:27:19.199
eighty nine percent of parents to agree on that they're

1569
01:27:19.199 --> 01:27:20.720
willing to spend their tax dollars on.

1570
01:27:20.880 --> 01:27:23.079
And that's what they said in the survey abo after school.

1571
01:27:23.680 --> 01:27:27.680
Yeah, it seems like the eighty twenty issues are really

1572
01:27:27.960 --> 01:27:31.560
this is the era for eighty twenty issues, isn't it?

1573
01:27:32.079 --> 01:27:32.319
You know?

1574
01:27:32.720 --> 01:27:34.960
I think after school programs. One thing that's been really

1575
01:27:35.039 --> 01:27:39.399
nice is we have always enjoyed broad support across the

1576
01:27:39.399 --> 01:27:44.039
political spectrum because when policymakers see the difference these programs

1577
01:27:44.079 --> 01:27:47.079
make in their local communities, they become champions. And we

1578
01:27:47.119 --> 01:27:48.720
need to do more of that. We need people to

1579
01:27:48.800 --> 01:27:54.640
be showcasing the amazing programs that exist and demanding resources

1580
01:27:54.680 --> 01:27:56.239
so that we can reach more kids with them.

1581
01:27:56.960 --> 01:28:00.840
Well, Heather, are children families in every eight are they

1582
01:28:00.920 --> 01:28:03.840
able to access these after school programs?

1583
01:28:04.760 --> 01:28:06.600
We see these gaps in every state.

1584
01:28:06.680 --> 01:28:08.680
I mean it varies a little bit state by state,

1585
01:28:08.760 --> 01:28:10.760
but there is not one state that is fulfilling all

1586
01:28:10.800 --> 01:28:13.000
the need you know that that's out there for after

1587
01:28:13.000 --> 01:28:13.760
school programs.

1588
01:28:14.520 --> 01:28:17.079
Now, is this a federal issue or is it a

1589
01:28:17.119 --> 01:28:18.920
combined state federal issue?

1590
01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:21.399
I would say it's local, state and federal, right, So

1591
01:28:21.479 --> 01:28:21.920
we need.

1592
01:28:21.880 --> 01:28:24.720
Yeah, let's get let's get the Holy Trinity all involved.

1593
01:28:24.319 --> 01:28:27.560
In and not just I mean and everybody because the

1594
01:28:27.600 --> 01:28:30.399
best of after school is your library, is your parks

1595
01:28:30.399 --> 01:28:32.359
and recks, your boys and girls clubs are four age

1596
01:28:32.439 --> 01:28:36.159
like getting your businesses, getting them together to pool those

1597
01:28:36.199 --> 01:28:40.399
resources to support our kids. So and absolutely, you know

1598
01:28:40.520 --> 01:28:44.000
local dollars, state dollars, federal dollars, but also there's you know,

1599
01:28:44.039 --> 01:28:48.079
philanthropy like New York Life is making a huge impact

1600
01:28:48.239 --> 01:28:51.119
on helping more of our kids access these programs.

1601
01:28:51.680 --> 01:28:54.560
You know, Heather, as Joey's talking about, you're getting everybody involved.

1602
01:28:54.640 --> 01:28:57.319
I got to imagine the parents probably have some great

1603
01:28:57.319 --> 01:28:59.920
ideas as well, right, Yeah, I.

1604
01:28:59.840 --> 01:29:02.159
Mean I think parents are the ones that really understand

1605
01:29:02.199 --> 01:29:04.399
this the best, right, and that's why I think it's

1606
01:29:04.439 --> 01:29:07.760
such a broadly supported issue. Anybody who has children has

1607
01:29:07.760 --> 01:29:10.039
this dilemma at two thirty and three o'clock, you know,

1608
01:29:10.079 --> 01:29:11.199
what are my kids going to be doing?

1609
01:29:11.279 --> 01:29:12.359
How are they going to be safe?

1610
01:29:12.760 --> 01:29:14.960
And you know, parents, I think, you know, tend to

1611
01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:18.119
hopefully have something from K through eight, but even high

1612
01:29:18.159 --> 01:29:20.600
school students. You know, this is why the report is

1613
01:29:20.640 --> 01:29:23.079
called America after three pm. You know, left to their

1614
01:29:23.119 --> 01:29:26.319
own devices, kids can sometimes not make the best choices.

1615
01:29:26.560 --> 01:29:29.000
But if they have access to these programs, you know,

1616
01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:31.760
they're safe, they're learning, and they're decreasing their screen time,

1617
01:29:31.800 --> 01:29:34.520
which I think is also really important, Jody.

1618
01:29:35.159 --> 01:29:37.760
You know, in my parenting experience, I found that the

1619
01:29:37.800 --> 01:29:41.920
teenagers required more supervision than when they were children. And

1620
01:29:42.000 --> 01:29:44.159
I mean little ones. We little ones when we changed

1621
01:29:44.199 --> 01:29:48.119
diapers and we thought that was a disruption. But teenagers,

1622
01:29:48.159 --> 01:29:51.960
because the options that are available to them today versus

1623
01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:54.760
when you know, we were growing up, I mean, it

1624
01:29:54.880 --> 01:29:59.239
is just so immense the options that are available to them. Right.

1625
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:01.800
We want to make it easier, as Heather said, for

1626
01:30:01.840 --> 01:30:03.439
them to make good choices.

1627
01:30:03.119 --> 01:30:04.159
Not bad choices.

1628
01:30:04.560 --> 01:30:06.640
And a lot of the programs now for older youth too,

1629
01:30:06.800 --> 01:30:12.319
have career exploration, internships, jobs, apprenticeships, not to mention, as

1630
01:30:12.359 --> 01:30:14.880
we say, student voice and choice, so we can see

1631
01:30:14.920 --> 01:30:17.840
the best of students as they help design some of

1632
01:30:17.880 --> 01:30:20.239
the programs to learn the things that they want to

1633
01:30:20.279 --> 01:30:20.720
be learning.

1634
01:30:21.439 --> 01:30:24.399
Yeah, and Heather, but you know you're kind of touching

1635
01:30:24.439 --> 01:30:27.279
on this, and that is that you're creating more programs, right,

1636
01:30:27.439 --> 01:30:28.920
New programs a long way.

1637
01:30:29.479 --> 01:30:32.039
Yeah, absolutely, And I think you know, more funding allows

1638
01:30:32.119 --> 01:30:34.560
us to not just expand and increase seats, but it

1639
01:30:34.600 --> 01:30:38.239
allows programs to become more innovative and offer different kinds.

1640
01:30:38.000 --> 01:30:39.600
Of opportunities to children.

1641
01:30:39.920 --> 01:30:42.159
And you know, these are the skills frankly, that they're

1642
01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:44.520
going to need when they graduate from school and go

1643
01:30:44.600 --> 01:30:48.640
on into the workforce. Right, They're building responsible decision making, learning,

1644
01:30:48.680 --> 01:30:49.399
social skills.

1645
01:30:49.439 --> 01:30:51.520
These are the intangibles that are going to make a

1646
01:30:51.560 --> 01:30:52.199
difference for them.

1647
01:30:52.760 --> 01:30:54.760
Well, great job on this survey. I have to let

1648
01:30:54.840 --> 01:30:58.560
you go reluctantly, Jody and Heather. Jody, let me ask

1649
01:30:58.560 --> 01:31:00.479
you where can the people go for more information?

1650
01:31:00.800 --> 01:31:03.520
A listener should go to Afterschool Alliance dot org. You

1651
01:31:03.560 --> 01:31:07.640
can get national information, state information, and sign up for

1652
01:31:07.720 --> 01:31:09.880
alert so that you can use your voice to make

1653
01:31:09.920 --> 01:31:10.520
a difference.

1654
01:31:11.079 --> 01:31:13.880
Jody Grant, the executive director of After School Alliance, and

1655
01:31:13.960 --> 01:31:16.479
Heather Nashley, the president of the New York Life Foundation,

1656
01:31:16.960 --> 01:31:20.960
which supports after school programs. As we mentioned earlier, thank

1657
01:31:21.000 --> 01:31:22.399
you so much for being with us. Take care, have

1658
01:31:22.439 --> 01:31:22.920
a great day.

1659
01:31:23.159 --> 01:31:28.279
You do.

We're going to talk about the month of October Down

1774
01:37:44.319 --> 01:37:46.039
Syndrome Awareness Month.

1775
01:37:46.159 --> 01:37:48.520
Right, that's correct, Bill.

1776
01:37:49.000 --> 01:37:53.159
Well, let's talk about Down syndrome. You know, there's a

1777
01:37:53.199 --> 01:37:56.800
lot of misunderstanding. I mean, it's run the gamut. I mean,

1778
01:37:56.840 --> 01:37:59.600
it really breaks my heart that in some country, some

1779
01:37:59.720 --> 01:38:03.680
area is discussing that. You know, if you're pregnant with

1780
01:38:03.760 --> 01:38:07.359
a Down syndrome child, then it's an automatic abortion, and

1781
01:38:07.399 --> 01:38:10.159
in some cases you don't even have a say on it.

1782
01:38:10.279 --> 01:38:12.199
Right, that's correct.

1783
01:38:12.960 --> 01:38:18.840
Several European countries, Iceland is one in particular, where it's

1784
01:38:18.880 --> 01:38:22.399
it's unheard of almost have a child with Down syndrome.

1785
01:38:23.920 --> 01:38:28.760
Well, and the thing is, we, by experience, Rebecca, have

1786
01:38:28.920 --> 01:38:33.279
learned those families who have been blessed with a Down

1787
01:38:33.439 --> 01:38:38.039
syndrome child, and I say blessed, capitalize their quotes everything else.

1788
01:38:39.800 --> 01:38:45.279
You know, it's it's very special for them. And I

1789
01:38:45.319 --> 01:38:48.399
know for some people that may think, oh my goodness,

1790
01:38:48.399 --> 01:38:50.640
you know to deal with the down? Could I deal

1791
01:38:50.680 --> 01:38:55.640
with it? And I'll tell you what, the families who

1792
01:38:56.199 --> 01:38:59.840
started out probably asked the same question, didn't they.

1793
01:39:00.159 --> 01:39:02.600
Yes, I'm a good example of that.

1794
01:39:02.720 --> 01:39:03.000
Bill.

1795
01:39:03.560 --> 01:39:06.960
We found out that our son, Callian had Down syndrome

1796
01:39:07.479 --> 01:39:10.840
the day he was born, and it shocked us. And

1797
01:39:12.000 --> 01:39:16.000
the emotions that ran through us were fear and shame.

1798
01:39:17.920 --> 01:39:19.720
Shame. Shame.

1799
01:39:20.520 --> 01:39:24.680
Yeah, that that is a lie from the devil. But yes,

1800
01:39:26.159 --> 01:39:29.479
I wondered what I'd done to deserve having a child

1801
01:39:29.560 --> 01:39:32.039
that was less than is how I deemed it at

1802
01:39:32.039 --> 01:39:35.119
the time. It's not how I deem it today after

1803
01:39:35.279 --> 01:39:38.039
living with my child for eight years. Our son just

1804
01:39:38.039 --> 01:39:42.119
turned eight years old, and he's such a blessing. But

1805
01:39:42.199 --> 01:39:45.199
that's not what society tells us. It's not what the

1806
01:39:45.279 --> 01:39:49.399
doctors tell us. When you get that kind of diagnosis,

1807
01:39:50.720 --> 01:39:53.239
they act like it's something to be grieved and mourned.

1808
01:39:53.239 --> 01:39:56.800
And it's true, it's not the expectation that you had.

1809
01:39:57.600 --> 01:40:00.279
But cal is such a blessing to our fami. I

1810
01:40:00.319 --> 01:40:05.239
can't imagine our family without him, just the way he is. Yes,

1811
01:40:05.279 --> 01:40:10.399
developmentally he's behind his peers, he doesn't. He doesn't talk

1812
01:40:10.439 --> 01:40:12.560
a lot. He only has a few words. But I'll

1813
01:40:12.560 --> 01:40:15.840
tell you what he lets you know what he wants.

1814
01:40:17.000 --> 01:40:20.720
He has his own way of communicating and he gets

1815
01:40:20.720 --> 01:40:26.479
his point across. But Bill, he's so loving, so affectionate,

1816
01:40:26.600 --> 01:40:31.079
Like I get cuddles from my son every night, and

1817
01:40:31.119 --> 01:40:36.319
he's just he exudes joy. He loves music and dances

1818
01:40:36.359 --> 01:40:38.960
around singing at the top of his lungs every chance

1819
01:40:39.000 --> 01:40:42.840
he gets. And he's just He's such a delight to

1820
01:40:42.960 --> 01:40:45.720
us and such a joy to us.

1821
01:40:45.840 --> 01:40:49.880
Yeah. I often hear from parents that their down syndrome

1822
01:40:50.000 --> 01:40:53.279
child has opened up parts of their heart that they

1823
01:40:53.359 --> 01:40:54.640
never realized were there.

1824
01:40:55.479 --> 01:40:59.800
Oh yeah, oh yeah. For us. One of the big

1825
01:41:00.680 --> 01:41:05.000
mindset changes that came with having cal as I defined

1826
01:41:05.039 --> 01:41:07.880
so much of my life by I was the smart one,

1827
01:41:08.439 --> 01:41:12.239
graduated at the top of my class. My husband comes

1828
01:41:12.239 --> 01:41:14.960
from a very athletic family, and we had a lot

1829
01:41:15.000 --> 01:41:20.560
of definition around these abilities that we had and just

1830
01:41:21.520 --> 01:41:24.920
realizing we're all made in God's image and we all

1831
01:41:25.039 --> 01:41:29.159
have inherent value for that very reason, no matter whether

1832
01:41:29.199 --> 01:41:35.359
we have disabilities or excel at whatever skill, We're all

1833
01:41:35.399 --> 01:41:38.119
equally valuable in God's eyes and should be in each

1834
01:41:38.159 --> 01:41:39.000
other's as well.

1835
01:41:39.560 --> 01:41:43.359
Yeah, it's almost like disabilities. I hesitate to use it

1836
01:41:43.439 --> 01:41:49.920
because it's disabilities based on our perception, but it's different abilities,

1837
01:41:50.760 --> 01:41:54.840
is what I've perceived, and being around families who were

1838
01:41:54.880 --> 01:41:58.800
blessed by down syndrome, by a down syndrome child, and

1839
01:41:59.800 --> 01:42:02.239
you don't know until you actually go through it. As

1840
01:42:02.279 --> 01:42:05.880
you say, you have to make a paradigm shift in

1841
01:42:05.920 --> 01:42:08.600
your own thinking. Now, is cal the only child?

1842
01:42:09.159 --> 01:42:10.359
He is our only child?

1843
01:42:10.520 --> 01:42:10.840
Yes?

1844
01:42:11.039 --> 01:42:11.239
Right?

1845
01:42:11.640 --> 01:42:11.880
Well?

1846
01:42:11.960 --> 01:42:14.479
And the thing is that also I appreciate is their

1847
01:42:15.239 --> 01:42:19.279
interaction with other children. It's amazing how they will be

1848
01:42:19.359 --> 01:42:22.479
a lightning rod of joy and love to other kids.

1849
01:42:22.600 --> 01:42:26.520
I mean, I see a down syndrome child that interacts

1850
01:42:26.720 --> 01:42:28.800
with their peer group in a sense that you know

1851
01:42:29.279 --> 01:42:32.920
roughly the age, you know, just in terms of growth

1852
01:42:32.920 --> 01:42:35.119
in that sort of thing. And when they mix with

1853
01:42:35.239 --> 01:42:38.399
the kids, Oh my goodness, I mean in the elation

1854
01:42:39.079 --> 01:42:43.119
and the jubilants that takes place, it's so dugone infectious.

1855
01:42:43.640 --> 01:42:45.880
Is that the same way that you've experienced as well?

1856
01:42:46.399 --> 01:42:49.720
Yes, his teachers call him the celebrity of his class,

1857
01:42:49.760 --> 01:42:52.039
and he spent part of his time in a special

1858
01:42:52.039 --> 01:42:55.239
needs classroom and part of his time with his peers,

1859
01:42:55.319 --> 01:42:59.880
with his typical peers, and they adore him. They like

1860
01:43:00.039 --> 01:43:03.199
the teacher has a hard time keeping the class settled

1861
01:43:03.199 --> 01:43:05.479
and in session because everybody wants to come give him

1862
01:43:05.520 --> 01:43:08.920
a hug. And yeah, he gives hugs freely. He loves

1863
01:43:09.000 --> 01:43:13.199
being the center of attention and he just he he

1864
01:43:13.279 --> 01:43:14.760
loves on those kids.

1865
01:43:16.279 --> 01:43:19.720
So what would you say, first of all, for parents

1866
01:43:20.039 --> 01:43:23.560
that you know, because science being what it is, I mean,

1867
01:43:23.560 --> 01:43:27.800
in your case, you didn't find out until cal you know,

1868
01:43:28.000 --> 01:43:30.760
was out of the womb, but a lot of parents

1869
01:43:30.800 --> 01:43:35.359
find out, you know, before the child is born. What

1870
01:43:35.359 --> 01:43:38.359
what would be your advice and your counsel to parents

1871
01:43:38.720 --> 01:43:41.239
who receive this diagnosis.

1872
01:43:42.680 --> 01:43:46.520
First of all, I would say, it's it's okay to grief.

1873
01:43:46.840 --> 01:43:50.800
Don't like, don't be ashamed that you have feelings of grief.

1874
01:43:51.039 --> 01:43:55.560
It's okay. It's it's not what you expected, right, But

1875
01:43:55.680 --> 01:43:58.079
you will grow to learn as you have this child

1876
01:43:58.119 --> 01:44:02.760
that they are such a gift. They're they're a light

1877
01:44:03.800 --> 01:44:08.399
in your eyes. They'll be a joy and while things

1878
01:44:08.439 --> 01:44:12.880
won't be what you expected, they might just be so

1879
01:44:13.000 --> 01:44:13.520
much better.

1880
01:44:14.079 --> 01:44:16.840
Yeah, without a doubt. Well, and the other thing too,

1881
01:44:17.560 --> 01:44:21.119
you know, in a spiritual context to realize that all

1882
01:44:21.159 --> 01:44:24.800
blessings come from God, and you don't know in some

1883
01:44:24.880 --> 01:44:27.479
cases with some blessings, I mean how many times just

1884
01:44:27.640 --> 01:44:31.119
I mean, fore about children, just circumstances or whatever that

1885
01:44:31.199 --> 01:44:34.159
happens when we think ay, and then all of a

1886
01:44:34.159 --> 01:44:38.800
sudden it turns in to such a blessing and you know,

1887
01:44:38.920 --> 01:44:42.800
kind of an exclamation of thankfulness to God Almighty, who

1888
01:44:42.880 --> 01:44:45.359
knew that's exactly what you needed.

1889
01:44:46.039 --> 01:44:50.640
Yes, yeah, absolutely, I'm going to miss the verse, but

1890
01:44:51.760 --> 01:44:55.920
I'd like to call your recollection to when Jesus was

1891
01:44:55.960 --> 01:44:58.119
in the temple and there was a man that was

1892
01:44:58.119 --> 01:45:03.000
blind from birth. People were asking him like, who sinned? Ye,

1893
01:45:03.079 --> 01:45:06.800
that man was born blind, and Jesus said, it's not

1894
01:45:06.920 --> 01:45:09.760
about sin. It wasn't somebody sinning. He was born this

1895
01:45:09.800 --> 01:45:11.960
way for God's glory to be revealed.

1896
01:45:13.279 --> 01:45:16.319
Yeah, and it's hard sometimes for people to do this.

1897
01:45:16.560 --> 01:45:19.359
There's a scene it's absolutely precious and one of my

1898
01:45:19.359 --> 01:45:23.039
favorite scenes from the Chosen with little James. I don't

1899
01:45:23.079 --> 01:45:26.039
know if you saw that or not, but I recommend

1900
01:45:26.079 --> 01:45:28.439
it to you and others who have not. It's so touching.

1901
01:45:28.880 --> 01:45:33.399
Little James has a debilitation, a physical debilitation and he's

1902
01:45:33.399 --> 01:45:36.880
with Jesus, and he's he, you know, Jesus healing everybody

1903
01:45:36.920 --> 01:45:39.800
in fact, you know, And he tells the apostles, look it,

1904
01:45:39.840 --> 01:45:43.000
I want you to go out and sends out seventy

1905
01:45:43.000 --> 01:45:47.119
two of them the Bible documents to go out and heal. Right,

1906
01:45:47.720 --> 01:45:51.479
and little James is thinking, I need healing. How can

1907
01:45:51.520 --> 01:45:54.760
I go and be a healer when I myself need healing?

1908
01:45:55.359 --> 01:45:59.800
And Jesus basically said, what you just communicated to our

1909
01:45:59.840 --> 01:46:02.840
audience is that it was for God's glory, and it

1910
01:46:02.920 --> 01:46:08.760
gave little James a sense of peace and understanding that

1911
01:46:08.840 --> 01:46:12.560
it wasn't about him being healed. It was more important

1912
01:46:12.600 --> 01:46:16.119
that others were healed. And that's what the Kingdom of

1913
01:46:16.159 --> 01:46:19.399
Heaven is all about. And so, you know, it's interesting,

1914
01:46:19.520 --> 01:46:24.199
you know, because in that period of time people wanted

1915
01:46:24.199 --> 01:46:27.760
to blame somebody, and I guess maybe, you know, because

1916
01:46:27.800 --> 01:46:29.920
of the fall, And you know, I always go back

1917
01:46:29.960 --> 01:46:32.720
to the beginning and what happened to the garden. When

1918
01:46:32.760 --> 01:46:35.560
God told Adam and Eve that surely they would die,

1919
01:46:36.119 --> 01:46:40.000
they had no idea what death meant. And and but

1920
01:46:40.079 --> 01:46:43.800
here we are, we're living it out in all its dimensions,

1921
01:46:44.600 --> 01:46:48.439
and uh, and we just can't wait until we don't

1922
01:46:48.479 --> 01:46:52.720
have to die any longer, you know, And so you

1923
01:46:52.760 --> 01:46:55.239
know this, this part of the party is over. Of course,

1924
01:46:55.279 --> 01:46:58.880
we can live in a in a mindset that we

1925
01:46:58.920 --> 01:47:02.359
are liberated from that because of what Jesus did at Calvary,

1926
01:47:03.119 --> 01:47:06.760
and we're eternally grateful and will continue to work through

1927
01:47:06.800 --> 01:47:09.960
that as it is a process, right, like dealing with

1928
01:47:10.079 --> 01:47:13.560
a down syndrome child. You know, there's no there's no

1929
01:47:13.760 --> 01:47:16.640
ready made manual, is there no?

1930
01:47:17.439 --> 01:47:19.439
Just like for no child.

1931
01:47:19.600 --> 01:47:24.640
Children are different, right, no child, Like there's not just

1932
01:47:24.800 --> 01:47:27.720
one set cookie cutter that makes every child right, and

1933
01:47:27.760 --> 01:47:30.359
they're all different. And my husband and I think about

1934
01:47:30.359 --> 01:47:34.520
this a lot because we have people that, you know,

1935
01:47:35.920 --> 01:47:39.159
that act like it's a hardship for us, and we

1936
01:47:39.239 --> 01:47:42.039
don't see it as a hardship at all. Like, for one,

1937
01:47:42.159 --> 01:47:44.560
we don't know any better because he's our only child

1938
01:47:44.600 --> 01:47:47.279
and we don't know what it's like. But we see

1939
01:47:47.319 --> 01:47:50.840
his peers that are defiant to their parents. Not that

1940
01:47:50.920 --> 01:47:54.159
my kid can't be a little defiant, but it's it's

1941
01:47:54.199 --> 01:47:58.520
on a different level, and we think we've got it

1942
01:47:58.560 --> 01:48:01.640
easy from a behavioral standpoint, Like our kid is so

1943
01:48:01.800 --> 01:48:08.279
loving and he's like and he behaves very well, and

1944
01:48:08.319 --> 01:48:09.479
we don't have to deal.

1945
01:48:09.319 --> 01:48:10.000
With stuff like that.

1946
01:48:10.039 --> 01:48:12.600
We might still be changing diapers for our eight year

1947
01:48:12.600 --> 01:48:19.720
old and working through pot training, but but behaviorally, we've

1948
01:48:19.720 --> 01:48:23.000
got what we feel is practically a little angel on

1949
01:48:23.079 --> 01:48:23.640
our hands.

1950
01:48:24.159 --> 01:48:30.560
Yeah, exactly. And as you say, each child, regardless of

1951
01:48:30.600 --> 01:48:36.600
the situation, has to develop at their own pace, right, yes, yeah,

1952
01:48:36.640 --> 01:48:40.000
so just walk walk it through and count it all

1953
01:48:40.119 --> 01:48:41.600
joy as the word says.

1954
01:48:41.680 --> 01:48:44.479
Right, that's right, that's right, it is.

1955
01:48:45.640 --> 01:48:48.319
That is a good point. I do a debo here

1956
01:48:48.359 --> 01:48:52.239
at focus periodically on what I've learned parenting a child

1957
01:48:52.279 --> 01:48:55.359
with Down syndrome. And that is my final point is

1958
01:48:55.399 --> 01:48:58.560
what are you going to focus on? I can focus

1959
01:48:58.600 --> 01:49:04.199
on the the how developmentally behind he is, or I

1960
01:49:04.239 --> 01:49:07.279
can be focusing on all this love and joy that

1961
01:49:07.359 --> 01:49:11.399
he exudes and what a joy that brings to us

1962
01:49:11.439 --> 01:49:14.800
as a family into those around him. And I'm choosing

1963
01:49:14.880 --> 01:49:18.239
to focus on this and to give thanks.

1964
01:49:19.039 --> 01:49:23.720
Right yeah amen? Amen? Well, and and calculate care less.

1965
01:49:24.840 --> 01:49:26.039
That is true.

1966
01:49:26.399 --> 01:49:28.680
I mean, that's that's the beauty of it.

1967
01:49:28.760 --> 01:49:28.960
You know.

1968
01:49:29.039 --> 01:49:33.720
It's like I'm okay, yeah, yeah, right, Oh gosh, I'll

1969
01:49:33.760 --> 01:49:36.960
tell you I'm so grateful for you for coming on

1970
01:49:37.079 --> 01:49:41.560
this is you've really blessed us. And of course Rebecca

1971
01:49:41.640 --> 01:49:46.199
works with the Focus on the Family and as she mentions,

1972
01:49:46.720 --> 01:49:50.600
she does a devotion and is you know, very open

1973
01:49:50.680 --> 01:49:54.520
and sharing with others there at Focus. And again, we

1974
01:49:54.560 --> 01:49:58.520
thank you so much for more information. Should anybody would

1975
01:49:58.560 --> 01:50:04.199
like to get more information about Down syndrome, where would

1976
01:50:04.199 --> 01:50:05.199
you recommend that they go?

1977
01:50:07.319 --> 01:50:15.439
The National Down Syndrome Society DSS is a great resource

1978
01:50:15.600 --> 01:50:17.800
for education on Down syndrome.

1979
01:50:18.520 --> 01:50:21.000
Great Rebecca Chambers, thank you so much for being with us.

1980
01:50:21.039 --> 01:50:23.000
Take care God, bless God, bless cal give them a

1981
01:50:23.000 --> 01:50:26.319
big hug for us. Okay, well do thanks, thank you

1982
01:50:26.359 --> 01:50:27.079
got it.

1983
01:50:28.159 --> 01:50:31.720
Timeshare owners, listen to this. You know it's coming your

1984
01:50:31.800 --> 01:50:35.800
time share maintenance fee bill at RFA cancelations. We've seen

1985
01:50:35.880 --> 01:50:39.119
timeshare maintenance fees rising every year, and I bet you

1986
01:50:39.199 --> 01:50:41.560
have too. Most of our clients that we help get

1987
01:50:41.640 --> 01:50:44.159
