7
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:39.880
choosing W four CY Radio. Well, hi and welcome. Good to have

8
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.280
you with us. Bill Martinez here, great to have you along with us.

9
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.640
As we you know, take a
look and think about a week this

10
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:53.520
has been, you know, the
Israel Hamas war continues. A debate was

11
00:00:54.679 --> 00:01:00.840
happened this week in Miami. Down
to five candidates, probably after after this

12
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:06.239
last debate, probably should be down
to three. But as people have said

13
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.599
repeatedly, you know why, maybe
they said, and why I asked,

14
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.000
you know why, Donald Trump clearly
is the front runner. And even though

15
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:23.560
you may have Nikki Hayley and and
Ron DeSantis as the next two, which

16
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:30.599
are the top tier REVEC and you
know, Tim Scott and Chris Christy pretty

17
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.319
much have a decision to make,
and of course the debate was in the

18
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.159
audience, were their donors, and
so they could tell real quick. And

19
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.280
I think they need to come to
decision time to say all right, it's

20
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.000
time to do something else and you
know, get out of the way.

21
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:53.560
But meanwhile, you know, Donald
Trump continues very short distance away from where

22
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.040
the debate was taking place. He
was holding a rally with thousands of people

23
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:05.239
typical of Donald Trump. And you
know the comments that those that were on

24
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.360
the debate stage, they seem to
support, you know, time and again

25
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.680
the policies of Donald Trump. And
why wouldn't they because those policies were working.

26
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.319
I mean two and a half years. There are two years at least

27
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:23.000
of misery here under Joe Biden,
and the policies that he's enacted clearly are

28
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:28.360
anti American. They're not to serve
the American people at large. And I

29
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.439
know for some people that may be
a bit entertaining, but you know,

30
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.000
look at the proofs and the pudding. The facts are there. I mean,

31
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:39.240
on day one, he decides to
take us out of being energy independent.

32
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:45.159
I guess that was a bad thing
being a job creator. That was

33
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:51.879
a bad thing. So also having
an opportunity for people to increase their wages

34
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.159
must have been a bad thing.
Now, you know, people are working

35
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.560
multiples of jobs and doing everything they
can, you know, to try to

36
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:05.000
keep up with the cost of living
inflation. Bignomics is not working. It's

37
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.199
an absolute disaster, maybe for some
people, the people who are very wealthy,

38
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:14.800
because the divide between the very wealthy
and the very poor is widening.

39
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.639
The middle class is getting decimated in
this whole process. I don't have to

40
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.319
tell you that. I mean,
you realize that every time you reluctantly pull

41
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.120
out your credit card, which is
over taxed anyway, you know, to

42
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.719
pay for gas or pay for groceries. And as I keep saying you know

43
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.439
to you and our radio audience as
well, is that this is not your

44
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.919
fault. You didn't do this.
This is being done to you. This

45
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:47.000
is being done to us by the
Democratic Party. And it's clear that the

46
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:52.360
left wing of the Democratic Party or
you know, And I'm trying to give

47
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.120
them the benefit of the doubt and
not broadbrush this and just say it's everybody

48
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.599
in the Democratic Party, because I
believe there's still reasonable peace people within the

49
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.520
party that believe in the founding principles
of America. You know, we may

50
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.400
we may come at at a different
angle, but at the end of the

51
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:13.960
day, we arrive at, you
know, a similar destontation point. Now

52
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.000
there's some there's some divisions there.
I understand it. You know, you

53
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:20.160
talk about abortion. I mean,
clearly there's a divide and we may never

54
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:24.639
ever get that together. But that
is because you know, when it comes

55
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.160
to abortion, as we're finding out, this is a personal issue. This

56
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:33.000
shouldn't be something it never was to
be something that the federal government should dictate

57
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.879
to people. You know, they
say, it's my body. You know,

58
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:43.240
it's it's my reproductive rights. I
agree that it is yours, and

59
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.720
it's your choice. It is your
decision. Now, you know, in

60
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.040
much the same way that the Word
of God says, look at what stands

61
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:56.240
before you today is life and death. And with those options, you know,

62
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.040
the Bible is real quick to tell
you choose life. That's the best,

63
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:03.040
that's the best joy. But unless
you have the level of maturity,

64
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.759
if I can put it in those
terms, I'm not trying to insult anybody

65
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.639
here, but unless you really appreciate
what God was telling us in choosing life.

66
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.000
I mean, after all, we're
talking God Almighty, the one who

67
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.600
created all and who created all of
us here, the one who says he

68
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.000
has plans for us that not for
evil, but for good, that it

69
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:25.519
would go it would go well for
us. He wants it to go well

70
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.920
for us, even though he knows
that we're in a fallen world and we're

71
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:34.240
having to deal with, you know, the reality of a fallen world.

72
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:40.680
But still he's cheering us on.
He cheers us on to the degree that

73
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.959
he sends his son to bring us
back home to save us. But it

74
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.439
all comes back to that issue of
what are you going to choose. Are

75
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.439
you going to choose life or are
you going to choose death. If you

76
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.680
choose life, then it alters your
world view in such a way that everything

77
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:02.439
that you think about, everything that
you do, everything that you wish for

78
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:11.160
others is about life. You know, that becomes a defining principle. But

79
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:16.120
if you choose death, then the
same way, everything that you think,

80
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:23.160
everything that you do, reflects death. And clearly what's happening in our culture

81
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:28.959
today is that death is more pronounced
than ever. Again, it's all around

82
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.240
us, not only in the wars
that we see some you know, and

83
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.240
oh yeah, by the way,
let me clear out something. I maybe

84
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.040
have told you the wrong number.
I don't know how I come up.

85
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.480
It was kind of silly because I
think I made a mistake in saying there

86
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.519
was something like two hundred, you
know, over two hundred wars you know,

87
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.759
being reported. Thirty two is the
number. I don't know I got

88
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:53.360
over two hundred because there's not that
many countries, I mean, really be

89
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:58.519
a mess. But regardless, thirty
at least, said last count thirty two

90
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.199
wars around the world world, and
many you don't know about, you know,

91
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.720
they're not getting the coverage, like
what's happening in Israel or what's happening

92
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:12.360
in Ukraine with Russia, you know, but there are wars that are happening.

93
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.480
And we were told that there would
be wars and rumors of wars.

94
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:21.639
But right now there's the reality of
war and there's the reality of life and

95
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.800
death. So take a look at
that. I mean, if experience defines

96
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:31.079
preference, what would you much rather
have? You know, to me,

97
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.079
it's a no brainer. But that's
me and that's my choice, just like

98
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:41.839
it is your choice, and my
encouragement to you is that you would choose

99
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.360
life, because if we chose life, then there's alternatives. Like some of

100
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.680
the guests that we've had on this
week talked about, you know, why

101
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:55.199
not abortion, Why can't we make
abortion much easier here in the United States

102
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.360
of America. Why is it that
families have to go to Russia or even

103
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:05.439
China or some other you know country
to go and and and adopt a child

104
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.120
at an incredible amount of money.
You know, we're talking thirty fifty thousand

105
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:16.199
dollars by the time you pay off
everybody to go in and and to be

106
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.000
able to pay for an adoption overseas. But yet, you know, we

107
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:26.199
have plenty of American children here and
and potential children. But you know,

108
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.519
this culture, you know, this
mindset that we've bought into that looks at

109
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:41.080
children as disposable than it really it
really is heartbreaking. And you know,

110
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.440
for people that want to hold some
sort of moral ground, you know about

111
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.840
you know, what's happening in the
world and the brutality and that, it's

112
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.440
like, how do how do you
hold to some moral ground when you're disrespecting

113
00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:01.519
life. I mean, America,
out of its birth was udo Christian we

114
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.320
believed in life over death. We
were celebrating life, much like you know,

115
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.480
the Jewish culture lahim, you know
life because everything, everything that connects

116
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:18.799
us, everything that fulfills us,
everything that represents freedom, is living.

117
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.679
It's alive, you know, just
like Jesus, He's alive out of the

118
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.879
tomb. Again, all the reflection, but if we want to think in

119
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.039
terms of death and destruction, you
know, all these things that we've been

120
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.159
conditioned, you know, is growing
up. You know, for those of

121
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.519
our children who grew up watching video
games that we seen were all so innocent

122
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.639
and just entertaining and kept them busy
because you know, after all, we

123
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.480
were busy, you know, we
had to take care of if it wasn't

124
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.240
taking care of the household, it
was taking care of you know, our

125
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.440
jobs that we had to perform,
you know, so our kids had to

126
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.360
stay busy that supposedly they were being
you know, kept out of trouble.

127
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.399
But what kind of trouble did we
leave them to. We left them to

128
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.279
their own device, iss unsupervised,
to watch and participate in these games and

129
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.960
to be exposed to things that it
just wasn't appropriate. It was way too

130
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.759
early. And now here we are. You know, our kids are being

131
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.159
exposed to all kinds of sexual grooming
and perversion. I mean, weird stuff,

132
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.080
right. I mean you see,
I see these pictures and you know

133
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.879
they have these, you know,
drag queens teaching kids. I mean,

134
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.120
you know, third graders, second
graders. But what do we what are

135
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:31.679
we trying to tell these kids?
I mean, this is bizarre. And

136
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.919
it's like, you know, where
are the voices to say no, this

137
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.559
is nuts. I mean, I
understand they're rising up, but there should

138
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:48.200
be such a concerted scream over this
craziness. But there's accommodation. There's accommodation,

139
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.519
you know, for political appeasement and
some sort of compromise. But you

140
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.399
know, and I'm not saying compromise
shouldn't happen, but there's a time to

141
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:03.799
compromise. There's times not to.
It's kind of like Nikki Haley, you

142
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.440
know, the other night during the
debate, you know, she's looking at

143
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.159
the numbers saying, hey, we
got to be real. You know,

144
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.840
we we have to have you know, sixty senators, you know, in

145
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.480
order to deal with abortion, and
we don't have sixty senators. So let's

146
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.639
not talk about it. The other
thing. I thought that was appropriate.

147
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.080
She kept challenging the Democratic Party,
saying, well, what's your line,

148
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.080
what do you say when? When? When is it okay, you know,

149
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.440
to kill a child? You know, where's that to be at?

150
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.679
Is it at twenty six weeks?
Is it up to the moment of conception?

151
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.440
Well? Hawkm Jeffreys, I think
pretty much made the announcement here this

152
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:48.240
week in concert with the Democrats and
the Democratic Party that they want no restrictions

153
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.360
you know, women, I guess, and we'll say men as well,

154
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.120
because it took two although you know
men have been you know, set aside

155
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.879
on this, and I believe in
setting and ignoring, you know, men

156
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.519
in the proposition. It's that,
yeah, it may be your body,

157
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.120
but your body didn't do this alone. You know, you weren't the virgin.

158
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:18.440
You're not the virgin Mary. Okay, it required a male, a

159
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:26.120
male to consummate, you know this
conception. That's the way it works.

160
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:31.360
Still it or not? But you
know, so the argument about it's my

161
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.120
body, okay, well, all
right, it's it is no doubt.

162
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:41.559
I'm not arguing that it's your body. It's your responsibility. So why is

163
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.720
it that you wanted to you know, be mandated on a federal level.

164
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.039
And I believe the motivation for that
is it's all about money. It's not

165
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.879
about the people. I mean,
the reason that the ground swell of Dobbs

166
00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:00.399
came about was because of forty nine
years of murder, for nine year years

167
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.679
of death, and what did it
do to our culture? You know,

168
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.919
the women who had experienced it throse
bodies you could say, unintentionally regardless.

169
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.919
But the result was the consequence of
an abortion was in too many cases,

170
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:22.840
their reproductive rights. They exercised their
reproductive right and guess what, they can't

171
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.000
reproduce anymore because of the damage of
the abortion. And you say, oh,

172
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.960
Bill, that's rare, that's a
rare exception. What's a rare exception

173
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:35.240
unless it happens to you, right, But that's the case. And these

174
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:41.639
women were talking about what happened to
them. How many women died because of

175
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:43.919
an abortion? Oh, we can't
talk about that. I got to hide

176
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.000
those numbers. You know, we
can't know, can't know the whole truth.

177
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:54.720
But what they can't stop is the
testimony and the experience of women who

178
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.799
went through thinking, Oh, it's
just abort it's nothing, it's meaningless.

179
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.840
It's like a little tumor is all
that you're cutting out. Well, when

180
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:09.320
was the last time that you ever
fretted over a tumor? Have you know,

181
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:11.799
having been removed from your body?
When was the last time that you

182
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:18.039
were woken up at three o'clock in
the morning with this horror of conscience and

183
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.840
said, Oh, my god,
I just killed I killed a living I

184
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.639
would have had a child right now. My child would have been seven years

185
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:31.080
old right now, but he's no
more because because I chose my reproductive right.

186
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.720
It's your right. It's your right
to do that, but your right

187
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:43.480
and responsibility, in my humble opinion
alone, and along with that are the

188
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.320
consequences that go with that. And
I don't say that coleheartedly, you know,

189
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:54.440
I say that with empathy and compassion
because I've been around it myself,

190
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.480
and I've talked to too many people
when you're talking to them about this issue,

191
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.320
and the shame and guilt that comes
upon them, and the heartbreak and

192
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.960
the realization that my god, my
child would have been ten years old today

193
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:18.399
or fourteen, or as I'm talking
with a Hollywood director of a movie and

194
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.159
as this topic came up, you
know, I was looking at my notes,

195
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.919
and when I looked up, I
saw tears rolling down his eyes and

196
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:26.960
he told me, goes Bill,
because my son would have been eighteen.

197
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.519
You know, what do you do? I mean, I just want to

198
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:37.879
reach out and hug people and say, look it. I can only imagine

199
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.600
what you are enduring and what is
going on in your mind and heart right

200
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.279
now. But this I want you
to know that we serve a loving God,

201
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:56.559
and no matter what you may have
done and what reality you've come to

202
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:03.799
to realize what you have done,
God is there eagerly waiting to forgive you,

203
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.399
to forgive you and restore you.
And that doesn't necessarily mean that you

204
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:15.039
will forever forget that you had an
abortion or were involved in abortion. But

205
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:21.120
what it does mean is that you
know in your hearts of hearts that it

206
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:26.840
is settled as far as your relationship
with God. He will forgive you,

207
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:33.440
and that is you know, that's
the resolution, that's the remedy of that.

208
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:40.039
And so what's happened is for the
women particularly, and there's been some

209
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.480
men you know who have been kept
out of this. I have a dear

210
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:49.600
friend who got his girlfriend pregnant while
they were in high school, and in

211
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.039
order knowing that he was going to
be a father, he had to be

212
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:57.799
responsible. He gets a job and
he well, he got a job in

213
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:03.079
the military, and while he was
in the military, his father, the

214
00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:07.640
father of his wife, of his
girlfriend, said no, there's no way,

215
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:12.000
you're too young. You can't,
you can't do this, and literally

216
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:18.720
took her, you know, to
a clinic and aborted the baby without the

217
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:26.240
father's knowledge, without his support and
acceptance. And can you imagine how crushing,

218
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:32.079
how crushing it was, and even
and even to this day, how

219
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:37.359
crushing it has been, you know, for him in realizing they since by

220
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.000
the way, you know, they
since got married. I think they have

221
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.359
like seven or eight kids, but
they know that they should have had one

222
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:48.240
more. And this is the heartbreak
that is a male he carries. And

223
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.559
there's lots of stories on the male
side, but we don't hear about it.

224
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.079
But what I'm saying is that was
part and parcel of the ground swell

225
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:03.279
that happened, the organic response to
forty nine years of death in this country

226
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.559
because of Roe v. Wade,
a humongous lie. And so you got

227
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.480
forty nine years of testimony from women. They're not doctors, but they're mothers.

228
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.640
They're women who are by their very
nature are nurtures. They would,

229
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.880
in their right minds never think in
a million years that, oh my god,

230
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.599
I'm just going to kill my child. You know, it's just it's

231
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:33.359
not even conceivable. But what's happened
is our culture has become very calloused and

232
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.680
very casual, and we've let go
of how significant life is. That's why

233
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:44.440
I said before everything you think,
everything you do, everything that controls your

234
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.839
very being, it's either life or
death. We're either promoting life or we're

235
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:55.079
promoting death. And for the women
who have experienced and as I say,

236
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.759
some men forty nine years of the
horror of abortion, I say it is

237
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:03.759
the horror of abortion because although there
may be some people that are just you

238
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.720
know, they've determined in their hearts, they've made up their own mind that,

239
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:12.359
Hey, that was my choice.
I celebrate that choice today. I'm

240
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:18.960
proud of that choice. Hey,
that you're right, And just as much

241
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:23.240
as you have that right to feel
that way, the other the other segment

242
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.599
of you know, of our community, of our world for this matter,

243
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:32.720
it's not just Americans. Around the
world, same thing is going on the

244
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:36.720
women and the men have the right
to feel as they feel that, Oh

245
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:41.559
my god, you know, the
truth is is that I killed my child,

246
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.079
you know, and and Grant would
be grandparents, you know, aching

247
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.960
because they realized, oh my goodness, you know, I could have could

248
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.640
have another grandchild here. And he's
no more. She's no more. You

249
00:19:53.680 --> 00:20:00.240
know. It's uh. Again,
your mindset and the acttions you take differ

250
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:07.640
tremendously. They're they're not even they're
not even close. There's no there's no

251
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.720
gray part of this. It's you
either are for life or you for death.

252
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:18.599
And so we've become a culture of
death this generation. And the damage

253
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:25.720
that we've done in embracing death over
life, it's been astronomical. And only

254
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:30.240
by the grace and his forgiveness of
God can we be redeemed. And this

255
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.920
is the opportunity, while you still
have breath in you to be able to

256
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:38.400
turn to the Father and say,
look it, help me understand, Help

257
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:44.640
help me understand, answer the questions
that I have, and help me be

258
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:51.079
a person who honors life. Because
I can see, or even if you

259
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:55.799
can't see, you can go to
God say help me see. And I

260
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:59.799
think this is why in the stories
in the Bible we see where Jesus,

261
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.319
you know, gave sight to the
blind, and there were people there he

262
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.279
talked about, He talked about the
religious people that you know, it was

263
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:14.279
sad because they claim to see.
They're more blind than a bat. Really,

264
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:21.160
And it is the condition of humanity
when it's left to its own devices.

265
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:27.519
So this issue of abortion, we
have to move it out of the

266
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:33.519
realm of the emotional and be able
to look at it from a practical standpoint.

267
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:42.000
And my prayer is even for women
today who are still considering death over

268
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:48.680
life, that they would understand that
there are options. I mean, we

269
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:53.319
have, you know, we have
many centers and one in particular that I

270
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:59.640
support here in Florida that are for
life, and they are for life through

271
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.359
the whole process in working. You
know, if it's a single mom who's

272
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.880
pregnant, can you imagine, I
mean, what have I done? What

273
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.839
am I going to go through?
How do I tell my parents what's going

274
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.680
on? You know, the father
has left, he's left the building.

275
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.640
I'm left here to myself, you
know, seventeen years old. I mean,

276
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:23.240
they run the whole gamut and the
whole stories. But these these centers

277
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:29.640
are there to help come alongside,
no judgment, just saying look at you

278
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:34.640
know, we're going to support you
and your child and your decision whatever you

279
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:40.799
do, whether you choose to raise
this child you know, on your own,

280
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.000
with or without family support, or
if you choose to put the child

281
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:52.000
up for adoption. You know there
are positive alternatives here and there's no doubt

282
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.960
that you know, the whole choice
and decision is such I think, I

283
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:03.720
think the easy choice and the quick
choice because we are a rather expedient minded

284
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.200
culture, right you know, I
say, you know, only this culture

285
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:11.599
can stand in front of a microwave
and yell, hurry up. Things don't

286
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:17.599
happen fast enough. But there's a
lot of problems with speed and in hurrying.

287
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.839
And if we don't pause and take
the time necessary to make the right

288
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:30.599
choice that is fruitful for you as
a young woman and what will serve you

289
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:34.400
for the rest of your life whatever
you choose, I mean, God will

290
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:38.359
be there with you. And you
listen to the stories of women who said,

291
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.359
I don't know how I was going
to do it, but I did

292
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.680
it, you know, And you
hear these success stories of single moms who

293
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:52.720
are just I mean, they're superstars. They're superheroes for what they've done,

294
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:59.480
and then also for the moms who
said, you know what, I can't

295
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.920
do this and I'm going to put
my child up for adoption. You know,

296
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:08.599
a friend of mine, he is, you know, it's incredible.

297
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:15.319
I mean, and his beginning wasn't
good. He was he was conceived as

298
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.240
a result of a rape, okay, and of course one of the exceptions

299
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:26.279
right that many people seem to be
comfortable with. But his mother had such

300
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:32.799
a mindset for life that she set
aside the rape and she said later on,

301
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.079
I couldn't see the two wrongs making
a right. And you know,

302
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:47.400
that is an incredible, courageous state
of mind and an unusual person, male

303
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:52.920
or female, to be able to
separate those issues. And she decided to

304
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:57.559
carry the child, you know,
through birth. By the way, it's

305
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:03.720
very healthy. Great guy. He
is an award winning artist. He has

306
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:11.160
a family, I think for himself. He was adopted by a family that

307
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.799
had died. I think they have
like thirteen kids. And there are many

308
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:22.319
stories like that. And yes,
you know, to make that kind of

309
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.960
choice and to say I'm going to
turn my child over, and there's different

310
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:33.440
you know, there's different ways to
handle adoption to where you can still be

311
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.200
a part and let the child be
aware that you are his mom, and

312
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.599
there's procedures and ways to handle this. I mean, it has come a

313
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.559
long way. But if you don't
investigate it, and you think, Okay,

314
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.720
I'm just gonna you know, kick
my child, my baby out the

315
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:56.400
door, and have nothing to do
ever again with that child's life, you

316
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:00.519
know, you need to hear more
of this story, stories and the truth

317
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.920
of what's going on. So all
this to say that what's happened in our

318
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:08.400
country has been a result of experience. Experience divines preference. If you had

319
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:14.680
fifty years of experience of death,
and you know, the murder of over

320
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.359
one hundred million babies, you know, they say quickly, you know they've

321
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:19.119
been saying for a long time,
sixty million. But that's only those that

322
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:25.160
have been aborted in the traditional sense. Of course, chemical abortion, you

323
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:29.279
know, the scientists say that's another
forty percent, So that puts us you

324
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:33.880
know, well over one hundred million
in counting. And the whole chemical abortion

325
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.000
issue, I mean, how crazy
is this? I mean, as if

326
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.400
regular abortions aren't dangerous, now you're
going to give a young girl a couple

327
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:48.440
of pills left on her own in
her apartment, sitting on a toilet and

328
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:56.160
expelling expelling the baby. I mean, how do you how do you unsee

329
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:02.400
that? How do you deal with
that? And not to mention, you

330
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:04.599
know, the complication. You're doing
this by yourself. There's no doctor there,

331
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:10.559
there's no nurse there, as you're
having a chemical abortion. But you

332
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:15.839
know the false narrative again, everything
about death, there's so many lives entangled

333
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:22.039
around it, right, So just
as there were lives about abortion, there's

334
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:27.559
lies about chemical abortion. Oh they
say it's like taking tail and all you

335
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:30.680
know, no big whoop, right, no big whoop, until you're in

336
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:34.720
the middle of it, cramping and
wondering what the heck is going on with

337
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:41.799
your body, and then it vacates
and expels the baby that was growing in

338
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:49.240
you and you're there no doctor,
but you've got a feed is flowing in

339
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:55.279
your toilet, floating in your toilet. I don't know. I mean,

340
00:27:55.279 --> 00:28:00.240
this is this is traumatic and it's
the reality. And you know, we

341
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:04.400
wouldn't want anybody to go through that. We wouldn't want our children, our

342
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:11.279
daughters, our sons to experience that. But this is the world in which

343
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.519
we live in and people are celebrating, you know, abortion as if it's

344
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:21.759
some sort of victory. It really
is. It really is sad, and

345
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:29.000
I believe it is at the risk
of this Judaeo Christian culture allegedly that believes

346
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:33.279
less and less in God and has
abandoned this idea of life and death.

347
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.319
I mean, seriously, ladies and
gentlemen, I mean, if we don't

348
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.880
grab a hold on this, I
mean, this has gone way too long.

349
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:47.599
And you know, and I'm just
saying, is that if we do

350
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:52.599
not connect with God in turn to
God, who says, if my people

351
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.480
who are called by my name,
okay, And that's where this is the

352
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.400
start, and this is the hinge. It's not everybody, because not everybody

353
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:04.119
has ears to hear. It's only
those who are called by his name.

354
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.319
And God is saying to those,
if you consider yourself to be called by

355
00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:15.400
his name, listen up, listen
up, and do your part that as

356
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:21.160
much as it would count on us, that life would reign and the death

357
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:26.799
would be less and less. We're
in a fallen world. And as we

358
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.960
look at the signs that are happening, you know, the war in Israel,

359
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.480
I get it. Some people think, Okay, well, Bill,

360
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.680
you know, what are you so
concerned about. I mean, the way

361
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:40.880
I look at it, these are
the last of the last days, you

362
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:45.599
know, and what will be will
be, so to speak. See.

363
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:51.279
But I don't think that's the Father's
heart. I think we've been warned about

364
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:56.279
what is going on and what will
happen, so that we would be in

365
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:02.880
concert, that we would be in
be connected with God in his purposes,

366
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:08.240
and that we're serving the greater good. Because who's to know if that neighbor,

367
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:15.279
that neighbor that lives that you've known, you know, for twenty years

368
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.839
or maybe it's just a year,
who's to say that? But for you,

369
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:26.160
that person is saved and brought into
the Kingdom and they're able to appreciate

370
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:32.160
the new life that you've been appreciating. See, but it starts with us,

371
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:36.200
those who are called by his name. I think again, as I

372
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:41.599
said earlier, you know, this
is a time where we have to think

373
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.240
better, we have to do better, and we have to be better.

374
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:48.440
Okay. And it's not so much
that you know, it's like, oh,

375
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:51.920
you know, we have to have
such a radical change. Just think

376
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:56.000
in terms of just thinking, doing
and being you know. I had a

377
00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:00.319
mentor at one time, and he
broke this down because I played baseballs grown

378
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:04.680
up as a kid, and he
knew that I would appreciate the mathematics of

379
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:11.640
this. And we're talking one day
about the difference between a professional baseball player

380
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:17.759
and particularly one who was an offensive
baseball player when he went to bat,

381
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:25.079
and he said, you know,
the difference between a good baseball player and

382
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:30.640
an exceptional baseball player? And I
said, I don't know. What is

383
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.000
it. He says, it's about
five percent. I said, really five

384
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.759
percent? He says, yeah,
He says, what it comes down to,

385
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:41.960
it's one more hit in twenty at
bats, in the twenty opportunities that

386
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:48.920
they get to go up to bat, the outstanding baseball players offensively get one

387
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:52.480
more hit than all the others in
twenty bats. Think about it? Five

388
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.319
percent? See, And I think, you know, and I looked at

389
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.359
that in terms of my life.
Could I do five percent better? Could

390
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:05.599
I be a better husband five percent
at the time? Could I be a

391
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:09.640
better father five percent? Could I
at my work? Could I be a

392
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:15.440
better leader at five percent? Or
a better employee at five percent? I

393
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:22.000
mean, come on, that's that's
attainable, but not if you don't consider

394
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:27.960
it. Right, So I challenge
you, you know, to consider this,

395
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.519
and I hope that it blesses you
because I, you know, I

396
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:34.759
believe God revealed this to me for
a reason, and I shared with you

397
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:39.559
again, you know, nothing dramatic, but what you think about when you

398
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:43.960
think about God. Yeah, there's
a lot of awesome things, you know,

399
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:46.799
but some of the most powerful things
are very simple. You know,

400
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:53.440
you choose life over death. Okay, do you have any questions? Right

401
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:55.640
away? God's you know, life
you want to go. The heir is

402
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:59.759
a choice. It stands before you
choose life or death. Now, life,

403
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:00.759
life, life is what you want. So we're going to focus on

404
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:06.519
life. So you know what your
thoughts? Can you a little bit better

405
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:09.279
with your thoughts? Catch yourself and
there's no question as soon I'll guarantee you.

406
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:10.799
As soon as you say, okay, you know what, Bill,

407
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:14.839
I'm gonna I'm gonna do that.
I'm going to think better, I'm gonna

408
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:15.400
do better, I'm gonna be better. As soon as you do that,

409
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.839
guess what you're going to get detecked
and and and some of the thoughts you're

410
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.119
gonna go oh, man, what
am I you know? Because that's what

411
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:27.279
happens. As soon as you determine
that's what you want to do, you're

412
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:30.960
gonna have antithical forces. Well,
guess what that's like going to the gym,

413
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:32.480
And you need to look at it
that way, because you go to

414
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:36.759
the gym and what do you do? You get? You get opposition in

415
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:39.519
lifting weights. That's what builds up
muscle. So it's the same way you're

416
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:44.759
going to have opposition to the thoughts, to good thoughts, to better thoughts.

417
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.240
So get ready because that's going to
build you up. So what do

418
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:52.880
you think today? Think about what
you'll think about thirty days from now that

419
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:58.759
how much better you'll be in going
through that exercise and the things that you

420
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.880
know that you do. You'll find
yourself again. You'll do things like Paul

421
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:06.119
said the Apostle. Paul said,
you know the things I want to do,

422
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:08.679
I don't do the things I don't
I do. You know, it

423
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:13.639
is the paradox of man. It's
the battle we go through. It's okay,

424
00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:16.920
but we want to we want to
honor God, and we honor God

425
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:23.119
by thinking a little bit better,
doing better and being better. You know,

426
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:28.400
it is attainable. But it isn't
if you're not even thinking about it,

427
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:32.360
okay, so I would encourage you
to think about it now. All

428
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:36.880
this came up because you know,
earlier in the week, if you if

429
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:38.079
you joined us, and if you
missed it, you need to check it

430
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:44.199
out. Is the discussion we had
with doctor Robert Jeffers. He's the pastor

431
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:50.239
of a church in Texas. He
is a prolific author, best selling author,

432
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:52.719
and his latest books called The Ten. And you've heard me say this

433
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:58.079
before, is that you know,
we need to get back to first principles.

434
00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:01.840
You know, in my business experience, I discovered that when a business

435
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:07.719
is not doing well, a good
CEO, a good leader of an organization

436
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.880
would remind everybody and kind of pause. First of all, I pause,

437
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:14.639
say, look at you know,
we're off course here, we're not doing

438
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:19.880
as well as we're doing because you're
in business, you know, to increase

439
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:23.039
business, to make money, you
know, do all these positive things you

440
00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:27.719
know, for one another. And
right now we're not. We're losing money,

441
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.519
we're losing employees. And this has
been going on for a while.

442
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:36.920
A good leader will say, when
did that change? Let's go back and

443
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.880
figure out where we made the wrong
turn, What happened, what happened in

444
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:44.840
the culture that shifted that is producing
this kind of results, kind of like

445
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:47.039
in this country. You know where
we are right now. This is why

446
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:51.639
leadership is so key to be able
to hit the pause button. Talk about

447
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:54.119
hitting the pause button and say,
Okay, where did we make the wrong

448
00:35:54.159 --> 00:36:00.119
turn? What can we do?
Well? Pastor Jeffers has done this for

449
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:05.199
believers. Okay, we hear about
the Ten Commandments. This book is titled

450
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:10.239
The Ten Experience God's Blessing in rediscovering
the Ten How to live and love in

451
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:14.440
a world that has lost its way. We need to get back to first

452
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:17.280
principles. Ten Commandments. You say, oh, Bill, how basic is

453
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:21.920
that? Oh but how wonderful?
And you think, and you may think

454
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:23.880
casually, oh, well, you
know, Bill, you know I'm pretty

455
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:27.519
good. You know I keep the
Ten Commandments. A lot of people will

456
00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:30.920
say that. You know, my
good friend Ray Comfort will ask people,

457
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:34.000
you know, what do you think
is going to happen when you die?

458
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:37.039
Are you going to go to heaven? You know, well, yeah,

459
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.039
I think I'm gonna go to heaven. Why do you think you're going to

460
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:43.760
go happen? Well, you know, yeah, I kind of keep the

461
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:49.199
Ten Commandments, you know, kind
of kind of keep the Commandments. Okay,

462
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:55.559
you know, we try to we
fool ourselves into thinking that, you

463
00:36:55.639 --> 00:37:00.960
know, somehow we're going to make
God into our man, our own image

464
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:04.039
and our own idea. This is
in Burger King Okay, it was not

465
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:09.440
McDonald's. This is God himself.
This is a spiritually significant consideration here.

466
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:14.719
We have to follow what God has
said, and the Ten Commandments is part

467
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:17.960
of the path that gets you there. To realize that there are guard rails,

468
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:24.280
there are reasonable expectations. And when
you look at what happened to our

469
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:28.360
country and going back, let's just
go back to when the Ten Commandments were

470
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:32.320
taken out of the holdways of schools
across the country. How's that working for

471
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:37.559
us? How's that working for schools? Can you not see the correlation of

472
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:42.280
it? So, you know,
doctor Jeffers has blessed us by reminding us

473
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.320
of the Ten Commandments. Get back
to first principles and see what a difference

474
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:49.480
that would make. Well, we've
got to wrap things up again. I

475
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:55.480
can't thank you enough for your faithfulness, you know, for tuning in and

476
00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:59.519
you know, and hopefully you know, because our goal is that we would

477
00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:04.199
bless you that as a result of
tuning in on any one of these shows

478
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.679
and the guests that we have,
is that you would be enlarged, that

479
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:12.039
you would be encouraged, that you
would be blessed. As my old mentor

480
00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:15.760
would say to me back in my
radio days in Los Angeles and say,

481
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:20.760
Bill, you know your job is
to elicit a positive emotional response. And

482
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.800
I hope that this has done this
in whatever topic, whatever guests that we've

483
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:28.360
had, that has spurred you on
in such a way. And by the

484
00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:30.320
way, I'd love to hear from
you. If you'd like to drop me

485
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.679
a line. I'll give you my
personal email and you can connect with me

486
00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:39.840
direct. It's Bill Real Simple.
