2
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to you from the studios of seven hundred WLW, which

3
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>are located in Kinwood, right outside Cincinnati, Ohio, which, of

4
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>course is located in the greatest country on the face

5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>of the earth, the Ussay, the United States of America.

<v Speaker 1>God bless the USA. It's so great to be with

7
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 1>you tonight on a special nightcap. Let me tell you

8
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>what's coming up directly right after this break. Jerry Dale

9
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 1>jd as he was called back in the music industry

10
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.719
<v Speaker 1>where he was very successful, but he found it very

11
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 1>hollow and it wasn't fulfilling. The fame and the fortune

12
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>weren't enough. Jerry Dale. We'll talk to you about his

13
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 1>transition from the music industry to porn to finding God

14
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and Jesus. In fact, the book is called Music Porn

15
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 1>in Jesus. We'll talk to him. Next, we'll talk to

16
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 1>people from Veterans Companion Animal Services as they will join

17
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>us to introduce the Cincinnati chapter of that charity organization

18
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:25.159
<v Speaker 1>for veterans and companion animals. It gon't be good. John

19
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Lott will be here to talk about illegal immigrants and

20
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the crimes they actually commit and what you may have

21
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 1>understood about the rates of crime among illegals and what

22
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the conceptions are. The rates of crime among illegals is

23
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 1>actually higher than people like the Cato Institute and others

24
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 1>will admit. So John Lott will be joining us next hour,

25
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 1>and John Gordon, who has a show of his own

26
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 1>called The Truth About John Gordon and speaking of John's

27
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>mighty John Marsha. We'll be manning the Moneymusic dot Com

28
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>list tonight at eleven o'clock or just a tadbit after,

29
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>so let's get it started. Jerrydale and his story of

30
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>redemption coming up next on a holiday weekend nightcap. Great

31
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>to have you here. We are Saturday night, the fifth

32
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of July, and I figured one of the ways we

33
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.840
<v Speaker 1>could send this weekend out with the bang is to

34
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 1>talk about the most important thing that many of us

35
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 1>ignore or just I don't know. I don't know why

36
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 1>we don't pay more attention to the Alpha and Omega

37
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and the God that created us all But tonight in

38
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 1>this segment, we're talking to Jerry Dale. And if you're

39
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>not familiar with Jerrydale, he was a big time in

40
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 1>the music industry, worked with artists like Will Smith, and

41
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Snoop Dogg. And in twenty fifteen, something turned, something changed,

42
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and what changed was Jerry Dale. And we're going to

43
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>talk about that as much in depth as he wants

44
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 1>to get into tonight. Is it kind of a witness

45
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to Jesus Christ and to talk about where he was

46
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>before and where he is now. He has a new

47
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 1>book called Music, Porn and Jesus And no, that's not

48
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>the name of a band. That is the name of

49
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.319
<v Speaker 1>the memoir of Jerry Tale, who reached the heights of

50
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>the music industry, working with the legends, only to find

51
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>himself trapped on the dark side. And many of us,

52
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 1>including myself, have been there. Jerry, welcome to the show.

53
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.159
<v Speaker 1>It's great to have you on this special nightcap program.

54
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, thank you, thank you, thanks for having me.

55
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>So twenty fifteen. I've got to ask you first what

56
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.879
<v Speaker 1>had happened prior to that. You had had incredible success

57
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>in the music industry and it led you into the

58
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>adult entertainment business, and suddenly the fame was more fleeting

59
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 1>that you thought, and the rewards were not what you

60
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>hoped they would be. After living a little bit of

61
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 1>the high life, what what happens at that point, Was

62
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>there a signature moment, Jerry that you can tell us

63
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 1>without giving away the book for people.

64
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 2>No, there wasn't. There wasn't really a signature moment that

65
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 2>that happened.

66
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 3>It was really it was over time.

67
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 2>It just it was God was nudging me, and you'll

68
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 2>see it in the book where he was nudging me

69
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>and calling me, and I was just kind of just

70
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>rebelling against it, just not answering the call. I mean,

71
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 2>even so in twenty fifteen when it was was one

72
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 2>of those times when my life changed and I gave

73
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.759
<v Speaker 2>my life to Christ. But then you know, as an

74
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 2>old scripture where they backslid and and I backslid even

75
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 2>a twenty even right even after that, I would like

76
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 2>to say that that was it, but it wasn't. And

77
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get back into the music or the adult

78
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 2>but I just wasn't wasn't all the way right with God.

79
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I was still living in sin and I was just

80
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.680
<v Speaker 2>doing I wasn't doing that, but I was just doing

81
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>different things. I was consulting with other businesses. And then

82
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.000
<v Speaker 2>it became about again in twenty twenty one, and in

83
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one and Decembar twenty twenty one is where

84
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I would I would say, really it was. It was solid.

85
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.040
<v Speaker 2>From there on, my life has been nothing but living

86
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 2>for Christ since then, right, No more back and forth.

87
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.639
<v Speaker 1>Boy, that parallels a lot of what I've been through

88
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>in my life, Jerry. So, I appreciate the fact and

89
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>God works on his own time. He doesn't work on hours.

90
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>And I know people that have had just I mean

91
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>instantaneous magical transformation, spiritual transformation in a moment and they

92
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>never look back. And then there are people like you

93
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 1>and like me who've been shown the truth and been

94
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.959
<v Speaker 1>nudged by God and still weren't ready to answer the

95
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 1>call all the way. So yeah, I get that. Now

96
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 1>I've got to ask you though about your life prior.

97
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>What was it like being around people like Will Smith

98
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 1>and Snoop Dogg. I mean, it was probably great at

99
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the time, right, it.

100
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 3>Was so so.

101
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.959
<v Speaker 2>I was in the music industry during the nineties, and

102
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>so to me that was one of the greatest eras

103
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>of music, even though I do like the eighties and

104
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.959
<v Speaker 2>seventies music. But anyway, you know, those are two different

105
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>people at two different at two different lifestyles, two different

106
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 2>times of life. Right when you're looking at it. Will

107
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.399
<v Speaker 2>Smith back then he was more. And most of these

108
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.199
<v Speaker 2>artists this is in the nineties is when they were

109
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.519
<v Speaker 2>coming up, they were they weren't as big as they

110
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 2>are now. They were still dropping their first and second records,

111
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 2>and so Will was more. I would say, find a

112
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.160
<v Speaker 2>conservative like Snoop was a little different. He was, he

113
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.240
<v Speaker 2>was fine, but you know, Snoop was a guy. He

114
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:12.839
<v Speaker 2>was he was smoking marijuana and I was smoking with me,

115
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:14.319
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying. So it was one of

116
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 2>those things where you know, it was a different, two

117
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>different types of relationships, but genuinely in terms of working

118
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.279
<v Speaker 2>with them, uh, they were just they were good people

119
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:23.920
<v Speaker 2>to work with.

120
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:24.399
<v Speaker 3>Well.

121
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>As I recall the nineties, and I'm willing to confess

122
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>it now because most people know some of my story anyway, Uh,

123
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.759
<v Speaker 1>the nineties was not only pot but also rife with cocaine,

124
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and uh, well, I tell you what, that is a

125
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>nowhere drug, for sure, it is, sure it is. How

126
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.079
<v Speaker 1>do you find faith and redemption in all of this culture?

127
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how does that happen? Because I found it

128
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>in my own life, Jerry, that God just won't leave

129
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>me alone. I could tell really that God wants me.

130
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 2>So I'll tell you that's how you find it. That's

131
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 2>how you find it in any culture, and especially especially

132
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 2>in in the in the music industry and in the

133
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>adult industry, you know, because those are some dark industries,

134
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and God has to call you. God has to pull

135
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>you out of those industries because you know, I'm grateful

136
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>that he didn't let me. Always say, he kept me

137
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.519
<v Speaker 2>anchored right, so I didn't go so I didn't go

138
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 2>too far into the water, right, I didn't get too

139
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 2>deep into it. I mean I was in it, but mentally,

140
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 2>I said, he kept me with my right mind. He

141
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 2>kept me where. You know, there were situations where sometimes

142
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.279
<v Speaker 2>I would be walking into a venue or a club

143
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.960
<v Speaker 2>that was one way in and one way out, you know.

144
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 2>And it's situations where there was you know, there was

145
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 2>sometimes there was a shootout, there was I mean, there's

146
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.879
<v Speaker 2>just different things. And I look back under seeing how

147
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, God kind of had it. He just had

148
00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.639
<v Speaker 2>his hand over me. And and I'm grateful, and I

149
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.879
<v Speaker 2>there's times I wish I had answered the call earlier,

150
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.840
<v Speaker 2>not waited so late. But I am grateful that he

151
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:09.480
<v Speaker 2>that he found redemption and I finally answered the call.

152
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>What's wild to me is how God saves you before

153
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>you're even saved. And I think that's kind of what

154
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>you're referring to.

155
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:18.799
<v Speaker 3>Uh yeah, For.

156
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Anybody listening who thinks that they're just too far gone

157
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>or they could never get to that point where they're

158
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.159
<v Speaker 1>ready to turn their life over to Christ, the power

159
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>of second chances is immeasurably important for all of us.

160
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Right, yes, yes, yes, yes, No one, no one.

161
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>No one's beyond the reach, is what I'm.

162
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Saying, not at all. No one's beyond the reach as well,

163
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>as long as you're breathing now. Once you whatever, whatever

164
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:56.879
<v Speaker 2>whatever state you're in when you die determines I mean,

165
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.440
<v Speaker 2>where you're going to go. If you die without answering

166
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the call, you will go to hell. And if you

167
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.639
<v Speaker 2>answer the call before you die, you will go to heaven.

168
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 2>So you you have a choice, you know, and and

169
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.200
<v Speaker 2>it's it's and God will call you, and he will

170
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 2>He will save you from whatever you're in, whatever you're

171
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.720
<v Speaker 2>going through, whether it's whether it's pornography, whether it's you know,

172
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.240
<v Speaker 2>being you've already sold your soul in in the in

173
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 2>the music industry. I mean, God, God can still call

174
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.200
<v Speaker 2>you out of that. He can still bring you out

175
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:31.399
<v Speaker 2>of that.

176
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:32.799
<v Speaker 3>I have I have.

177
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:34.559
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you a quick story. I have a friend

178
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.759
<v Speaker 2>that about three years ago. She she's a friend now, well,

179
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to uh date her and we we

180
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 2>just we bumped heads because she was getting into like

181
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:53.000
<v Speaker 2>crystals and tear of cards and and shaman and all

182
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:54.720
<v Speaker 2>of that kind of stuff. And I was like, totally,

183
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm God right, I'm like, I'm we don't do that.

184
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.480
<v Speaker 2>So we bumped heads completely, right, And so we never

185
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 2>did date. And I'll tell you last week she reached

186
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:08.960
<v Speaker 2>out to me and she was like, I know you

187
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.519
<v Speaker 2>probably don't want to talk to me, but I've changed.

188
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.759
<v Speaker 2>My life has changed. God has saved me. God has

189
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.919
<v Speaker 2>called me here, redeemed me. And it was it was

190
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.120
<v Speaker 2>so good to hear just that she got out of

191
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.320
<v Speaker 2>all of that and she was so deep into it,

192
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.519
<v Speaker 2>and she she talked about being delivered from demons and

193
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.759
<v Speaker 2>having those things that she had opened the door. She

194
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 2>realized that she had opened the doors to those things

195
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.600
<v Speaker 2>when she was doing the crystals and all that, all

196
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.879
<v Speaker 2>that all that stuff that goes along with it, and

197
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.120
<v Speaker 2>so it's just it's one of those things that's just.

198
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:38.519
<v Speaker 3>Good to hear.

199
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Right, it's good to see and it's good to see

200
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 2>that God redeemed her and she was I mean she

201
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>was in the mix with Satan. I mean, like I

202
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:46.480
<v Speaker 2>mean we all are, but you know what I'm saying,

203
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Like she was in the mix with Satan.

204
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she she wasn't just being led us Gray, she

205
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:53.799
<v Speaker 1>was like volunteering.

206
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Right right right right?

207
00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

208
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.919
<v Speaker 1>How do you how do you handle or how did

209
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>you handle pushback from people who didn't understand what had

210
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>happened in your life, your transformation?

211
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:09.200
<v Speaker 3>What do you what do you mean?

212
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, yes, in terms of.

213
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 1>How do I mean, how do you deal with people

214
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:18.240
<v Speaker 1>who saw Jerry Dale, uh, three weeks ago and see

215
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:21.960
<v Speaker 1>him now and go Jerry, what's going on? What's up?

216
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.320
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's just that conversation of God, God saved me.

217
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:28.399
<v Speaker 2>God God.

218
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:29.120
<v Speaker 4>You know.

219
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 2>The thing is is most people are Christian by default, right,

220
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:40.240
<v Speaker 2>So unless you're unless you're Muslim, Hindu, or you know,

221
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.679
<v Speaker 2>claiming other religion, then you automatic you say you're Christian.

222
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:47.080
<v Speaker 2>So then for someone to like me to become Christian

223
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.679
<v Speaker 2>and back then, even if you had asked me, I

224
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.399
<v Speaker 2>would have said I was a Christian, but I wasn't

225
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:54.440
<v Speaker 2>living like a Christian. So I'm saying that to say

226
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 2>that there are people who already see that. So when

227
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.799
<v Speaker 2>they see the real change in me, those that those that,

228
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:01.879
<v Speaker 2>those that knew me back then, when they see the

229
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 2>real change in me, they they're genuinely happy for me.

230
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 2>I haven't had any anyone at least on the surface

231
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.759
<v Speaker 2>or in my or you know, face to face or

232
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:14.120
<v Speaker 2>on a call or anything like that, where you could

233
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.919
<v Speaker 2>tell like they were not happy for me, because I think,

234
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:19.039
<v Speaker 2>and I think some of that comes from everybody thinks

235
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 2>they're state or they think they're Christian, anyway they see

236
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:22.759
<v Speaker 2>they're not.

237
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.039
<v Speaker 1>But right, what what inspired you to turn this journey

238
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:26.759
<v Speaker 1>into a book?

239
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>There was several things. One one was I didn't want to.

240
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 2>I was starting to forget some things and I didn't

241
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.879
<v Speaker 2>want to do that. And then two, I think it

242
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:38.559
<v Speaker 2>was just God to just put it on my heart

243
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.360
<v Speaker 2>to be able to put it out there and put

244
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.720
<v Speaker 2>my story. Because I lived when I was in those times,

245
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.919
<v Speaker 2>I lived two different lives.

246
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 3>Right.

247
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.799
<v Speaker 2>It was like I was JD when I was in

248
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.519
<v Speaker 2>the in the entertainment stuff, and I was Jerry at

249
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:55.720
<v Speaker 2>home because I would go. I still took my kids

250
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.399
<v Speaker 2>to my wife and kids to church when I was married.

251
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I was married twice. But when I was married, you know,

252
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.399
<v Speaker 2>we still went to church. We still you know, I

253
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.480
<v Speaker 2>still claim Jesus, I still claim to be a Christian.

254
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.399
<v Speaker 2>But yet I was still out here justifying it and

255
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing I'm in the adult business. I'm in that.

256
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.159
<v Speaker 2>So it was one of those things where I was

257
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.799
<v Speaker 2>so private on sore. It's people who knew me from

258
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.039
<v Speaker 2>just the entertainment, and there's people who knew me from

259
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.039
<v Speaker 2>just the church or christian or Christianity, and so it was.

260
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:25.960
<v Speaker 2>It was one of those things where it's like I

261
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.200
<v Speaker 2>felt like God was like, you know what, you need

262
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.399
<v Speaker 2>to tell your story and you need to tell the redemption,

263
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.039
<v Speaker 2>and you need to tell how I saved you from

264
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.759
<v Speaker 2>this and let people know that way you can you

265
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.559
<v Speaker 2>can lead people or guide someone so that they know

266
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.240
<v Speaker 2>they're struggling with it, that they know that they're that

267
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I can save them too. And it's just kind of

268
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:47.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's just the waal I kept feeling. I

269
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:50.039
<v Speaker 2>kept feeling it, and this was this was years. It

270
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 2>took me years to actually write the book, right. It

271
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:55.519
<v Speaker 2>took me a year or two write it, but it

272
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.399
<v Speaker 2>took me years to be like, Okay, let me go

273
00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 2>ahead and do it well.

274
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:01.759
<v Speaker 1>And in the book by the Way again a music

275
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Born in Jesus, just one of the wildest titles I've

276
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:11.639
<v Speaker 1>ever heard of, By the way, how has your understanding

277
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>of what successes and fulfillment changed?

278
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:16.919
<v Speaker 5>What?

279
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 1>What do you consider being successful now?

280
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:19.840
<v Speaker 3>Jerry?

281
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Being able to do with being able to live and

282
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:32.720
<v Speaker 2>do what God has calling me to do for me,

283
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:36.240
<v Speaker 2>That's what success is. You know, before I was chasing

284
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>money and it's just kind of living, living in the world,

285
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.320
<v Speaker 2>and you know, and all the things I had, I mean,

286
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>I've done a lot, had a lot, And then there

287
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:48.600
<v Speaker 2>became a time when you start to realize that the

288
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.279
<v Speaker 2>more money it just allows you to do the same

289
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:57.360
<v Speaker 2>thing more times or get bigger. Right Like I got

290
00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:00.960
<v Speaker 2>a house, I'm good, but more money are allowed, I'll getting

291
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:02.480
<v Speaker 2>the point of get in a bigger house. And I

292
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.519
<v Speaker 2>didn't even stewart my money in a way to where

293
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.320
<v Speaker 2>I was putting God first, right like I wasn't doing

294
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.559
<v Speaker 2>things for the kingdom.

295
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:08.759
<v Speaker 3>And spreading it.

296
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Whereas now those things change and and God blesses me

297
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:17.360
<v Speaker 2>even more as I put things and I put my

298
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:21.120
<v Speaker 2>efforts towards the Kingdom versus at advancing the kingdom versus

299
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.000
<v Speaker 2>just advancing my own my own priorities or my own

300
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:27.279
<v Speaker 2>selfish ways.

301
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.600
<v Speaker 1>What what advice could you give to somebody who feels

302
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>trapped in a lifestyle that they no longer want to live,

303
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:39.080
<v Speaker 1>that they understand it's a nowhere road. And I mean,

304
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>what would Jerry Dale tell them? Anybody listening, you know,

305
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I would.

306
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I would just tell you to ask God to lead

307
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:54.440
<v Speaker 2>you to someone that will walk alongside you and help

308
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:57.759
<v Speaker 2>you come back to him, right, Because sometimes it's hard,

309
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:02.600
<v Speaker 2>just it's hard for us to to just go from

310
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:05.279
<v Speaker 2>that lifestyle that you're in that you don't want to

311
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.279
<v Speaker 2>be into just going to God, you know, I mean,

312
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:09.240
<v Speaker 2>God has to bring you out. But sometimes if you

313
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:12.480
<v Speaker 2>could have somebody walk alongside you, because you know, even

314
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:14.440
<v Speaker 2>with me, like I said in twenty fifteen, was one

315
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:16.960
<v Speaker 2>was one of those times when I changed my life,

316
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.680
<v Speaker 2>but then I fell back. But then when I when

317
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I really truly had someone in there back that can

318
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.519
<v Speaker 2>walk alongside me and be there with me and help

319
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:31.960
<v Speaker 2>me and help me be consistent with it with my walk, right,

320
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and so forth. I needed to be able to build

321
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:39.440
<v Speaker 2>up a new and new what's the word I'm looking.

322
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I need to build up a new routine,

323
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I guess, so to speak, and be able to read

324
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:47.200
<v Speaker 2>my Bible more builder and have community, have someone that

325
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:51.559
<v Speaker 2>was real. You know, I think having someone real in

326
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.200
<v Speaker 2>your life is always good. At having someone will who

327
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 2>will help you, who will challenge you, and who will

328
00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:59.200
<v Speaker 2>be there, and someone who will love you right just

329
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.880
<v Speaker 2>genuinely just love you unconditionally as God loves you.

330
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. That's that's absolutely, very very key and it's important.

331
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:12.119
<v Speaker 1>And you mentioned reading your Bible. This is the thing

332
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:16.880
<v Speaker 1>that people don't understand is that if you don't read

333
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:21.759
<v Speaker 1>your Bible on a regular basis, uh, and you're not

334
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, constantly in prayer, uh, you can get lost

335
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.599
<v Speaker 1>pretty quick. Because I mean the Bible is was it

336
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:36.079
<v Speaker 1>basic instruction before leaving Earth? Is it's been described.

337
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:38.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've heard the same thing.

338
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:42.400
<v Speaker 2>But you know that's you know, you're you're still right,

339
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.599
<v Speaker 2>because that's what that's what that's why you need someone

340
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.400
<v Speaker 2>in your life that can be consistent on the walk

341
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.160
<v Speaker 2>with you because that right there, what you just said

342
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.960
<v Speaker 2>is is I would say is the key to be

343
00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 2>able to read your read descriptions and read your Bible consistently.

344
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Because I noticed, and I look back, I noticed that

345
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:04.319
<v Speaker 2>I would read my Bible a few days, and then

346
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.079
<v Speaker 2>when I would go some days without reading it, some

347
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:12.279
<v Speaker 2>days without prayer. It's like I've fallen off. I don't

348
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:16.240
<v Speaker 2>even realize it until until things get to a situation.

349
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 3>Where, oh, now this happened.

350
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh you know what. I haven't been praying, I haven't

351
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.680
<v Speaker 2>been connected with God, I haven't been reading my Bible,

352
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.680
<v Speaker 2>and so I've been making these decisions that aren't aren't

353
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:29.240
<v Speaker 2>like I like I should like I should have made.

354
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, are you still doing something with your music?

355
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.759
<v Speaker 2>The only thing I do with music now, which is

356
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.799
<v Speaker 2>for me, is I wron It's funny interesting because I

357
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.279
<v Speaker 2>always thought I would be in the music industry, but

358
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not. But God does allow me to enjoy music.

359
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:51.960
<v Speaker 2>But now I enjoy it by a ballroom dancing.

360
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Huh. That's great. That's not an answer I expected. That's wonderful. Listen, Jerry,

361
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:00.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry we're running out of time tonight, but I

362
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:06.440
<v Speaker 1>really appreciate yours and thank you and inspiring story. No

363
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:09.599
<v Speaker 1>doubt for anybody who has questions or is it maybe

364
00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:13.000
<v Speaker 1>a turning point. The book is Music, Porn and Jesus.

365
00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:16.599
<v Speaker 1>The author is Jerry Dale and it's been my pleasure.

366
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Sir, Thank you, thank you so much.

367
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:25.160
<v Speaker 1>You bet very special fifth of July Nightcap continues in moments.

368
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.319
<v Speaker 1>It is a special edition of the Nightcap here on

369
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:34.440
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred WLW. I've found out about this organization that

370
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.519
<v Speaker 1>we're featuring in this segment about a week and a half,

371
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.079
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago. And when I found out that they

372
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:45.599
<v Speaker 1>weren't actually rolling out any information until the fourth of

373
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.559
<v Speaker 1>July last night, I said, well, I've got a show

374
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.359
<v Speaker 1>on July fifth. Let's that'd be the perfect thing. I

375
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:54.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't let the cat or the dog out of the

376
00:20:54.200 --> 00:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>bag too early that way. This is VCASS and we

377
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.799
<v Speaker 1>have the president and CEO of Vcast. He's based in Columbus.

378
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.279
<v Speaker 1>His name is Josh Doran. On the line and in

379
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:12.960
<v Speaker 1>studio Vickylessandra and Guy Volrath, who has been practicing his

380
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:19.240
<v Speaker 1>sexy radio voice for this interview. He said, I'm nervous.

381
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:23.279
<v Speaker 1>I said, don't be, and he just laughed. So Josh

382
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:27.599
<v Speaker 1>Dorn first and foremost, welcome to seven outter WLW on

383
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 1>this Saturday night on fourth of July weekend, and if

384
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.319
<v Speaker 1>you would please give me a description of how this

385
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:36.160
<v Speaker 1>started and what VCAST is.

386
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:39.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, absolutely, thank you for having us.

387
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:40.119
<v Speaker 4>So.

388
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:44.880
<v Speaker 6>VAST stands for Veteran Containing Animal Services and we're a

389
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:48.039
<v Speaker 6>five to one C three organization and we actually started

390
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:53.799
<v Speaker 6>back in twenty thirteen and I'm actually the current CEO,

391
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:58.319
<v Speaker 6>not the founder, but the founder was a veterinarian by trade,

392
00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:02.359
<v Speaker 6>and she just followed the act that these dogs you know,

393
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.640
<v Speaker 6>have on their owners and their lives and the ability

394
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:09.000
<v Speaker 6>to you know, list spirits and just improve the mental

395
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:11.759
<v Speaker 6>health of a lot of these owners. And she also

396
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:16.559
<v Speaker 6>have a lot of family connection to the military, so

397
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:20.119
<v Speaker 6>she decided to kind of put the two together into

398
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:24.480
<v Speaker 6>a singular mission and then in twenty eighteen Decantmate its

399
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:29.599
<v Speaker 6>first placement. It just increased rescue dog placements from there.

400
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:32.920
<v Speaker 6>But to kind of give a full scope of the

401
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:39.119
<v Speaker 6>program here, we have about four individual programs for veterans

402
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:41.440
<v Speaker 6>and they're all free to the veteran, so no money

403
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:43.400
<v Speaker 6>comes out of their pocket. But the first is the

404
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:48.160
<v Speaker 6>dog placement program. So the gist of that is basically,

405
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.920
<v Speaker 6>the veteran comes to us and we learn a lot

406
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.119
<v Speaker 6>about their lifestyle and their needs, and then we have

407
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:58.880
<v Speaker 6>them fill out a survey that kind of shares what

408
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.039
<v Speaker 6>can and behaviors are looking at for a dog. Because

409
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:05.519
<v Speaker 6>we serve any veterans, so we have a lot of

410
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:09.359
<v Speaker 6>Vietnam era veterans, and we also serve a lot of

411
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:12.880
<v Speaker 6>you know, more recent Iraq and Afghanistian veterans. So you

412
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:16.440
<v Speaker 6>can see there's a wide spectrum of Yeah.

413
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:20.119
<v Speaker 1>So in other words, in other words, if somebody wanted

414
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:23.640
<v Speaker 1>an active dog and they're they're very physically active, you

415
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:26.559
<v Speaker 1>find a dog that's that's ready for the challenge and

416
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.400
<v Speaker 1>is ready to go. If somebody wants a lap dog,

417
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you'll find them a lap dog.

418
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.400
<v Speaker 3>I get it, Yes, all right, exactly.

419
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:34.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so we kind of we kind of look at

420
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:38.759
<v Speaker 6>it as sitting two puzzle pieces together. Yeah, but then

421
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.720
<v Speaker 6>we work through our sheltered partners to find that perfect dog.

422
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:46.039
<v Speaker 6>We present the dog. We never force the dog on

423
00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:48.119
<v Speaker 6>a veteran. You know, they have the right of refusal

424
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:52.279
<v Speaker 6>to have the whole program. But if everything looks good,

425
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.440
<v Speaker 6>we'll actually take that dog from the shelter and put

426
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:57.359
<v Speaker 6>them in a foster home so the dog can kind

427
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 6>of decompress, and it gives us the opportunity to really

428
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.240
<v Speaker 6>dig into that dog's behavior and temperament in a home

429
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:08.559
<v Speaker 6>environment versus the shelter environment. But then once we actually

430
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.480
<v Speaker 6>make the placement, we will come to the vasion's house,

431
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:14.759
<v Speaker 6>we'll bring the dog, have an initial set of supplies

432
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:17.680
<v Speaker 6>like you know, create betting bulls, and then for a

433
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:21.000
<v Speaker 6>whole year from that placement where you will continue to

434
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:22.079
<v Speaker 6>cover all the cops.

435
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, Vicky. Vicky was telling me about this and

436
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:29.519
<v Speaker 1>I made them. I dragged them up to the studio,

437
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:31.160
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna let them kind of fill in the

438
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:37.319
<v Speaker 1>blanks too. Here Vicky, Lissandra is part of this local

439
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.559
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati chapter of vcasts And how did how did you

440
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:43.960
<v Speaker 1>number one? Vicky? How did you find out about this?

441
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:44.319
<v Speaker 3>And?

442
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Uh, what sparked your interest in?

443
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:51.000
<v Speaker 7>Guy was my husband's best friend.

444
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.039
<v Speaker 8>Okay, my husband passed away a couple of years ago,

445
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:55.720
<v Speaker 8>and Guy came to me a couple of months back

446
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:59.640
<v Speaker 8>and said, let's do something in Vic's honor. What what

447
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.319
<v Speaker 8>were his passions? And they were veterans and animals and

448
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:07.440
<v Speaker 8>so and that was what Guy's passions were. And so

449
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:09.680
<v Speaker 8>we kind of decided this is this is our this

450
00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:12.960
<v Speaker 8>is what we need to do. Uh looked up what

451
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:15.920
<v Speaker 8>kind of places already existed like this, So we weren't

452
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:16.960
<v Speaker 8>reinventing the wheel.

453
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:18.240
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

454
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.119
<v Speaker 8>Contacted Josh and he said, we've been talking about trying

455
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:25.880
<v Speaker 8>to expand we weren't quite ready, you know, thinking we

456
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:27.920
<v Speaker 8>weren't ready, but gosh, here's an opportunity.

457
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 7>So we started talking with them.

458
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.440
<v Speaker 8>We laid out what we envisioned, they laid out what

459
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.519
<v Speaker 8>they envision and over the last three months we have

460
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.559
<v Speaker 8>put this all together and we're we're We've got the

461
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:43.960
<v Speaker 8>boots on the ground and we're ready to run with it.

462
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:48.079
<v Speaker 1>So guy, what, uh what was your inspiration? Just being

463
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 1>being Vic's best friend and sure? So again is Vicky said,

464
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.880
<v Speaker 1>like passion has been. I love dogs, always hid rescue dogs.

465
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:01.559
<v Speaker 1>Up until recently he had four dogs. My father's a veteran,

466
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:05.880
<v Speaker 1>so I really care about veterans as well. Sure, I'm

467
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:09.799
<v Speaker 1>a psych nurse and also now I'm doing like substance

468
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 1>treatment services. So over my years I've seen work with

469
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 1>veterans with depression anxiety PTSD and so forth, and I

470
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:24.119
<v Speaker 1>believe it's really an underserved population. So again, when Vicky

471
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.279
<v Speaker 1>and I were talking about this. It was just like

472
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:31.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of a perfect marriage to to to help the

473
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:36.519
<v Speaker 1>veterans and to place dogs. I love dogs and especially

474
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:37.519
<v Speaker 1>shelter dogs.

475
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:42.640
<v Speaker 9>So again it was just I think something that Vicky

476
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:45.240
<v Speaker 9>and I decided, Okay, this is what we're going to do.

477
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:47.559
<v Speaker 9>And like Vicky did a lot of the leg work

478
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:51.359
<v Speaker 9>looking for the right program. We actually were going to

479
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:56.759
<v Speaker 9>go look at another program when we found d Kiss

480
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:01.960
<v Speaker 9>in Columbus and and Vicky reached out to Josh and

481
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:05.359
<v Speaker 9>Josh just kind of picked up and ran with it.

482
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:08.839
<v Speaker 9>And here we are today. We're just a week away

483
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:09.559
<v Speaker 9>from our.

484
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Our official launch, official launch. Yeah, Josh guy mentioned PTSD

485
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.319
<v Speaker 1>and depression and the like, but a veteran does not

486
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.039
<v Speaker 1>have to be have been diagnosed with any of those

487
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:28.119
<v Speaker 1>to be eligible for this program, right.

488
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:31.920
<v Speaker 6>Well, absolutely, I mean the heart of our program is

489
00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:35.799
<v Speaker 6>you know, removing barriers and helping veterans. So when a

490
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:38.240
<v Speaker 6>veteran comes to us, you know, we don't ask about

491
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.200
<v Speaker 6>any kind of diagnosis, We don't require any kind of

492
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:44.799
<v Speaker 6>you know, financial levels to qualify for the program. As

493
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.400
<v Speaker 6>long as that veteran has served and they can have

494
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.319
<v Speaker 6>proof of service, then you know, we welcome in with

495
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:53.759
<v Speaker 6>open arms, all.

496
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Right, And Vicki you were telling me too that along

497
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:02.920
<v Speaker 1>with that one year window where VCAST provides, you know,

498
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:05.920
<v Speaker 1>everything that the veteran needs to take care of the dog,

499
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:09.559
<v Speaker 1>you also require the veterans to go through a seven

500
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:11.480
<v Speaker 1>week training course, correct.

501
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:12.160
<v Speaker 7>Right, right?

502
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:15.480
<v Speaker 8>So we, as Josh mentioned, the dogs come out of

503
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:20.480
<v Speaker 8>the shelters and they go into foster families just to decompress,

504
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:22.680
<v Speaker 8>so we can kind of really get a good look

505
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:26.799
<v Speaker 8>at their behavior and stuff. And once we deem that

506
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:29.480
<v Speaker 8>that's a good match for the veteran and the dog

507
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.599
<v Speaker 8>is then given to the veteran, the veteran has to

508
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:35.519
<v Speaker 8>agree to do a seven week, one hour week training

509
00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:43.039
<v Speaker 8>program where they become the dog's own. The dog knows

510
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:44.759
<v Speaker 8>that he's there to serve the.

511
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Veteran, that he is their human. Yes, And you know what,

512
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:52.799
<v Speaker 1>I think anybody who's adopting a dog or getting a

513
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:58.599
<v Speaker 1>dog out of a shelter should, especially because they're like

514
00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:01.000
<v Speaker 1>a box of chocolate cheese, know what you're gonna get?

515
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:06.839
<v Speaker 1>That's right, But there's also that factor of as much

516
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:09.319
<v Speaker 1>as the dog needs to be trained, the person needs

517
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:09.720
<v Speaker 1>to be.

518
00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:12.680
<v Speaker 7>Trained, especially if they've not had a dog before.

519
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:14.519
<v Speaker 1>So whether you're a veteran or not, whether you're part

520
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:16.880
<v Speaker 1>of this program, you know, I would advise anybody who's

521
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:19.519
<v Speaker 1>getting a dog to find a good training course.

522
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.279
<v Speaker 8>And one thing that we do offer too is if

523
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:24.559
<v Speaker 8>you are a veteran and you have a dog and

524
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:27.000
<v Speaker 8>you did not get the dog through us, you still

525
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:29.920
<v Speaker 8>can go through our seven week free training program all that.

526
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:32.559
<v Speaker 7>So we offer that to any veteran, whether they've gotten

527
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:33.519
<v Speaker 7>the dog through us or not.

528
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.599
<v Speaker 1>I've been through a dog training program. They're not cheap, yeah, right, right,

529
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:42.720
<v Speaker 1>So how are you funding this? I know, Josh you

530
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:45.880
<v Speaker 1>mentioned it's a five oh one C three charity and

531
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:50.640
<v Speaker 1>are you working purely off of donations or grants or

532
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.680
<v Speaker 1>how's that work?

533
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

534
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:58.359
<v Speaker 6>So we are primarily donor funded. We don't get any

535
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:03.079
<v Speaker 6>funding from either the said or state government. So really

536
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:06.559
<v Speaker 6>we just have an awesome group of supporters who are

537
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:10.039
<v Speaker 6>you know, passionate about the mission on both the you know,

538
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:12.160
<v Speaker 6>the rest of the dog side and the veteran side,

539
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:16.759
<v Speaker 6>and they've you know, generously given you money to support

540
00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:18.880
<v Speaker 6>the mission and has grown it up to this point

541
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.039
<v Speaker 6>to where we can actually you know, launch the second chapter.

542
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.440
<v Speaker 1>How did you determine that this was a way to

543
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.039
<v Speaker 1>help veterans. And I've seen story after story. There are

544
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:34.359
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of charities out there that provide service animals

545
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.920
<v Speaker 1>or provide dogs just to come visit senior centers and

546
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:45.039
<v Speaker 1>the like and schools and kids that are troubled. What

547
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.559
<v Speaker 1>was the one thing that stood out? I know that

548
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:51.839
<v Speaker 1>right now in this country, I think the stat was

549
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.960
<v Speaker 1>unbelievably shocking where there were at one point twenty three

550
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:03.000
<v Speaker 1>veterans a day committing suicide in this country. Uh, guy,

551
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.640
<v Speaker 1>is that is that like one of the aims? So

552
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:09.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe helping in that way, so you would being a

553
00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:14.079
<v Speaker 1>psych nurse, you you understand the power that a dog

554
00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:16.720
<v Speaker 1>can bring to someone who's troubled.

555
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:21.839
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, no, absolutely, And we just recently went to the

556
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:25.960
<v Speaker 9>gala up in Columbus and they had lots of veterans

557
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:29.240
<v Speaker 9>that came and spoke exactly to that, Like what a

558
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:33.319
<v Speaker 9>difference it's made since they have since they've gotten his dog.

559
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:36.319
<v Speaker 9>And it's one of those things that like, you know,

560
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:39.359
<v Speaker 9>they didn't they didn't save I didn't save them, They

561
00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:44.559
<v Speaker 9>saved me sure, And just the power of of the match.

562
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:47.920
<v Speaker 9>You know, there's so many mental health and we see

563
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:51.559
<v Speaker 9>some mental health and just the power of having that

564
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:55.720
<v Speaker 9>loving animal with unconditional love that it makes of the

565
00:31:55.799 --> 00:32:02.480
<v Speaker 9>veteran in any person, actually, anyone who struggles with depression, loneliness.

566
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:08.799
<v Speaker 9>A dog is so well plus plus there. The dogs

567
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:14.759
<v Speaker 9>are so reliant on a human being, you know, to

568
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:19.160
<v Speaker 9>be cared for, and it gives that person who's caring

569
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:21.640
<v Speaker 9>for that dog a sense of purpose, I would imagine,

570
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:25.799
<v Speaker 9>and that would be a big thing, right, what kind

571
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:27.319
<v Speaker 9>of what kind of dogs? Josh?

572
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>You do you have any dogs of your own?

573
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:30.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

574
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:32.400
<v Speaker 3>You actually have too.

575
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:36.160
<v Speaker 6>I have a little sixteen pounds loss of two and

576
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:41.960
<v Speaker 6>then a golden doodle. So yeah, my I'm you know,

577
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.000
<v Speaker 6>very passionate about this mission because when I got back

578
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:51.240
<v Speaker 6>from Afghanistan, I'm the vester of myself and it was

579
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:55.079
<v Speaker 6>it was a hard transition coming back home and you

580
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:57.880
<v Speaker 6>know kind of just said you're going through the motions,

581
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.359
<v Speaker 6>things seem to lose their meaning. You just kind of

582
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:04.119
<v Speaker 6>feel alone and isolate. And that's when I got Scrappy,

583
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:08.400
<v Speaker 6>the little Lassitude, And you know, he's kind of a

584
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:12.720
<v Speaker 6>mixed little guy and wasn't much to him, but you know,

585
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:15.480
<v Speaker 6>he was absolutely a lifeline that you know helped pull

586
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:18.799
<v Speaker 6>me back from the edge and you know get give

587
00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:19.799
<v Speaker 6>me back to better days.

588
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:20.200
<v Speaker 3>For sure.

589
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Well you're you're more aware of this, more well aware

590
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:26.079
<v Speaker 1>of this than I am, since I've never been to

591
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:30.799
<v Speaker 1>Afghanistan in service or anywhere else where. You know, I

592
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:34.200
<v Speaker 1>possibly would have people shooting at me. But I know

593
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:38.759
<v Speaker 1>that this is a huge deal, the transition period that

594
00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:42.799
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about for a lot of veterans, because it

595
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:47.400
<v Speaker 1>never was really talked about before, say, when World War

596
00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Two ended and those veterans came home, a lot of

597
00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:55.079
<v Speaker 1>them descended into alcoholism. H there weren't programs out there

598
00:33:55.119 --> 00:34:03.160
<v Speaker 1>for them. Vietnam too, But we've become more aware of

599
00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:08.559
<v Speaker 1>our veterans and their transitional issues, going from a foreign

600
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:12.119
<v Speaker 1>country where they're worried about being shot at or stepping

601
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:17.159
<v Speaker 1>on an ied to them just dealing with the traffic

602
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and crossing a street at a light. So I want

603
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to commend you for your service and now your service

604
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to those veterans in doing this with vcas. I think

605
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:34.880
<v Speaker 1>it's just marvelous. I'm all in on that and look

606
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:39.079
<v Speaker 1>forward to hearing updates on your progress, especially as the

607
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:43.119
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati branch opens up. Now VICKI again, when is that

608
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:46.199
<v Speaker 1>going to happen? This is the fifth of July, so

609
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:49.559
<v Speaker 1>you have it. You handed me an invitation here for

610
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:50.519
<v Speaker 1>the eleventh.

611
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:55.159
<v Speaker 8>Right, we're having a launch party where we're gonna Josh

612
00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:58.880
<v Speaker 8>will be down there talking to people, people who are

613
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:02.719
<v Speaker 8>potential donor people from some of the shelters that we

614
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:07.119
<v Speaker 8>will be working with. Some people from the VA will

615
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:12.360
<v Speaker 8>be at the launch party, and basically we're gonna talk

616
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:17.119
<v Speaker 8>to all of them about how we can partner with them. Okay,

617
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:21.880
<v Speaker 8>how veterans can get in touch with us to decide that,

618
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:24.280
<v Speaker 8>you know, they want a dog and go through the

619
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:28.519
<v Speaker 8>steps that it takes to end up with a dog

620
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:30.440
<v Speaker 8>that will be their companion for life.

621
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:33.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, I want to make a commitment myself personally to

622
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:37.960
<v Speaker 1>all three of you, is that whenever you have anything

623
00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:41.639
<v Speaker 1>coming up, and I'll definitely plug this, especially on my

624
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:45.239
<v Speaker 1>Saturday morning show. I'm on Saturday Morning every week on

625
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:49.119
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred here from five point thirty to nine, and

626
00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll just I'll make it my mission to let people

627
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:55.639
<v Speaker 1>know what's going on with vcast from this point forward

628
00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:59.199
<v Speaker 1>and how they can help and about events that you're having.

629
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I noticed or Dirves guy, are are they going to

630
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:05.280
<v Speaker 1>be all milk bones.

631
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.119
<v Speaker 9>When you say that, because actually Vicky bought some dog

632
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:13.280
<v Speaker 9>bowls that we're going to have some snacks that in.

633
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:17.079
<v Speaker 1>But no, won't be all milk bones. So you'll have

634
00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:17.920
<v Speaker 1>human orders.

635
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:18.400
<v Speaker 3>We will have.

636
00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Human orders and human desserts.

637
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:25.679
<v Speaker 9>And you're even going to have a patriotic drink.

638

<v Speaker 1>Fireworks put on by the Cincinnati Reds.

642
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:40.239
<v Speaker 5>We're not.

643
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:45.880
<v Speaker 8>They just happened to be having a fireworks show.

644
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:51.760

646
00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:59.119

647
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:00.639
<v Speaker 8>they haven't promoted that for us.

670
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Prevention Center in Washington, DC or just outside of Washington,

671
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:35.119
<v Speaker 1>d C. And also John Gordon. There was a survey done.

672
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:38.920
<v Speaker 1>You may have seen a Gallop poll just this past

673
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:43.360
<v Speaker 1>week that showed only thirty six percent of Democrats asked

674
00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:47.559
<v Speaker 1>we're proud or extremely proud or proud at all of

675
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:51.760
<v Speaker 1>this country, which I just find mind blowing. If that's true.

676
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:56.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll discuss that and more as we continue a quick

677
00:38:56.039 --> 00:39:01.480
<v Speaker 1>break and then on with things John Lott coming up netxt.

678
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:07.280
<v Speaker 1>It is a special nightcap here leading up to fourth

679
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:12.800
<v Speaker 1>July weekend. The holidays upon us and the crime is

680
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:17.679
<v Speaker 1>upon us, and we all was we always want to

681
00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:20.760
<v Speaker 1>reach out to somebody like our next guest when we're

682
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:25.239
<v Speaker 1>talking about real crime stats and data as opposed to

683
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:30.480
<v Speaker 1>what is being fed by other media outlets or organizations

684
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:35.360
<v Speaker 1>like for example, CATO, which will be primary focus of

685
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:39.239
<v Speaker 1>our conversation night with doctor John Lott, who is the

686
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:43.079
<v Speaker 1>head of the Crime Prevention Research Center, and you can

687
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:46.159
<v Speaker 1>find them at Crimeresearch dot Org. I just did again

688
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:50.320
<v Speaker 1>so I know you can do it. And John Lott,

689
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:52.920
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to the show. It's been a while, but

690
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:54.840
<v Speaker 1>it's always great to have you on. You have great

691
00:39:54.880 --> 00:40:01.239
<v Speaker 1>information and this recent editorial or op ed you posted

692
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:03.559
<v Speaker 1>in the Washington Times we want to focus on in

693
00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:09.119
<v Speaker 1>this conversation tonight and that the headline from Crimeresearch dot

694
00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Org is CATO again pushes false claim the illegal aliens

695
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.920
<v Speaker 1>commit crime at a low right rate based on survey

696
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:19.920
<v Speaker 1>data that ignores a lot of criminal illegals that never

697
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:24.480
<v Speaker 1>serve time in prisons or serve shortened sentences, and it

698
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:29.159
<v Speaker 1>requires those illegals to self identify as illegal aliens in

699
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:34.920
<v Speaker 1>this country. There has been a lot of progress, I believe,

700
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.920
<v Speaker 1>made in the first six months of President Trump's administration

701
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:43.039
<v Speaker 1>in coordination with the DHS and ICE, which are coming

702
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:48.199
<v Speaker 1>under constant attacks by people who apparently don't care that

703
00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:51.000
<v Speaker 1>people who are not citizens of our country are coming

704
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:55.119
<v Speaker 1>into our country, first illegally and then committing heinous acts

705
00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:59.760
<v Speaker 1>from murder to rape, to child abuse, to human trafficking

706
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:04.039
<v Speaker 1>to drug and sex trafficking. Doctor Lott, how are you.

707
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:08.599
<v Speaker 3>Doing great? Thanks having me, I appreciate it.

708
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:11.480
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I mean it's quite a change. I mean, during

709
00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:16.320
<v Speaker 12>the Buying administration, we had record percentage increases in violent crime.

710
00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:17.960
<v Speaker 3>We only have the data.

711
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:20.800
<v Speaker 12>Through twenty twenty three, the first three years, but we

712
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:25.679
<v Speaker 12>had a fifty five percent increase in violent crime during

713
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:28.639
<v Speaker 12>his first three years, according to the Bureau of Justice statistics.

714
00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:34.880
<v Speaker 12>And that's quite a contrast to comments recently made by Cashptel,

715
00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:39.599
<v Speaker 12>the new director for the FBI, where he was saying

716
00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:43.599
<v Speaker 12>that we're on track right now for the lowest murder

717
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:46.960
<v Speaker 12>rate ever in the United States, there's never been a

718
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:49.440
<v Speaker 12>murder rate. I mean, at least for the first five months.

719
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:53.320
<v Speaker 12>If it continues at this pace, we'll have the lowest

720
00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:58.119
<v Speaker 12>murder rate ever recorded in US history. And I think

721
00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:01.800
<v Speaker 12>there are multiple reasons for that. Law enforcement changes have

722
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:05.119
<v Speaker 12>made a difference, but I also think during the Biden

723
00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:10.960
<v Speaker 12>administration we had this huge influx of illegal aliens that

724
00:42:11.079 --> 00:42:18.039
<v Speaker 12>had occurred, and now under Trump, we're deporting criminal illegal aliens,

725
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:21.320
<v Speaker 12>ones who have committed crimes. But it's more than that,

726
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:24.719
<v Speaker 12>more than just taking away the criminals, it's also the

727
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:29.199
<v Speaker 12>ones who are who aren't being caught yet have an

728
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:31.880
<v Speaker 12>incentive to lie low because if they get caught now

729
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:35.840
<v Speaker 12>under Trump, they're going to get deported. And one way

730
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:40.440
<v Speaker 12>to keep themselves from not getting on police radar, because

731
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:44.679
<v Speaker 12>as soon as the police arrests them they'll be deported,

732
00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:48.360
<v Speaker 12>is not to commit crimes right now. They'll help keep

733
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:52.079
<v Speaker 12>them off of police radar. So we've had this big

734
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.000
<v Speaker 12>change that are that's occurred there.

735
00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Whether you're whether you're whether you are a a Dennis

736
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:02.719
<v Speaker 1>and or a supporter or believer of Milton Friedman, the

737
00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:07.400
<v Speaker 1>famed economist, or not. He argued that open immigration only

738
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:10.519
<v Speaker 1>works if a country doesn't have a large welfare system.

739
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:13.800
<v Speaker 1>And boy, what do we have here in the United States?

740
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:16.760
<v Speaker 1>All kinds of things that are supposed to be safety

741
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:21.639
<v Speaker 1>nets that are actually welfare, a lot of free stuff

742
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:26.360
<v Speaker 1>that's not free given to other people, and those people

743
00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:29.400
<v Speaker 1>from out of our country who are not citizens of

744
00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the country. We also have this argument this past week,

745
00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:36.599
<v Speaker 1>John about all these different states. There are twenty three

746
00:43:36.679 --> 00:43:43.079
<v Speaker 1>states in our country that offer free in state tuition

747
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:45.519
<v Speaker 1>to people who are not citizens of this country. And

748
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:49.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are not familiar with that. But

749
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:53.159
<v Speaker 1>back to the crime rates, how do they juice the

750
00:43:53.199 --> 00:44:00.000
<v Speaker 1>crime rates? How do they escape detection? I notice from

751
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:03.880
<v Speaker 1>your web page here undocumented immigrants are often deported directly

752
00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:06.840
<v Speaker 1>from prison before completing their sentences. So how does that

753
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:08.159
<v Speaker 1>affect the data?

754
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:09.840
<v Speaker 3>Right?

755
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:14.519
<v Speaker 12>So, what Cato has used is something called the American

756
00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:18.440
<v Speaker 12>Community Survey, which is a massive survey. They serve about

757
00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:22.800
<v Speaker 12>three point five million people each year. They survey people

758
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:25.440
<v Speaker 12>who are in prison as well as people are outside

759
00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:29.360
<v Speaker 12>of prison. They ask the individuals, are you an illegal alien?

760
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:33.519
<v Speaker 12>So they ask them to self identify for that voluntarily,

761
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:37.199
<v Speaker 12>and then they go and they say, well, there's a

762
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:40.960
<v Speaker 12>certain percentage of illegal aliens in prison according to the survey,

763
00:44:41.239 --> 00:44:44.639
<v Speaker 12>and there's a certain percentage outside. And so they go

764
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:48.199
<v Speaker 12>and they see then whether illegal aliens are kind of

765
00:44:48.239 --> 00:44:51.760
<v Speaker 12>over represented in prison compared to their share of the population.

766
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:54.599
<v Speaker 12>The problem is, I mean, you bring up one of

767
00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:58.960
<v Speaker 12>the problems sits there. Let's say you have two criminals

768
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:03.320
<v Speaker 12>who committed robbery. They get caught both from face the

769
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:07.280
<v Speaker 12>same four year sentence, ones an illegal alien and ones

770
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:08.320
<v Speaker 12>an American citizen.

771
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:11.119
<v Speaker 3>Well, if they.

772
00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:13.760
<v Speaker 12>Both serve out the whole four year sentence, you know

773
00:45:13.800 --> 00:45:17.360
<v Speaker 12>you're likely to go and that could be a somewhat

774
00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:20.679
<v Speaker 12>useful measure for their shares of the prison population. But

775
00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:23.840
<v Speaker 12>what happens is is that illegals who are in prison

776
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:27.840
<v Speaker 12>will often be deported well before the end of their sentence.

777
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.440
<v Speaker 12>They may be deported after three months or maybe six

778
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:32.880
<v Speaker 12>months of the four years that they'd be serving there.

779
00:45:33.320 --> 00:45:35.960
<v Speaker 12>And so what's going to happen is is that illegal

780
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:40.000
<v Speaker 12>aliens will be kind of underrepresented in the prison system

781
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:44.239
<v Speaker 12>as compared to their share of crimes being committed. And

782
00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:48.840
<v Speaker 12>of course, and of course you have lots of illegal

783
00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:51.199
<v Speaker 12>aliens who I mean, they're not supposed to be in

784
00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:53.719
<v Speaker 12>the country to begin with, simply when they get arrested,

785
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:58.519
<v Speaker 12>before they get even go to trial though many times

786
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:03.239
<v Speaker 12>be deported, or even when they once they've been convicted,

787
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:06.360
<v Speaker 12>even before they get to prison, they'll be deported at

788
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:10.679
<v Speaker 12>that point. And so you have lots of these crimes

789
00:46:10.719 --> 00:46:13.800
<v Speaker 12>committed by illegals that aren't going to show up in

790
00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:17.760
<v Speaker 12>their share of the prison population. But the other big

791
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:21.360
<v Speaker 12>problem that you have is that we're relying on these

792
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:25.360
<v Speaker 12>people to voluntarily say that they're illegal.

793
00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Now.

794
00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:28.800
<v Speaker 12>I know they're told they're not going to tell law

795
00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:32.320
<v Speaker 12>enforcement that any of the answers that they give to

796
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:37.840
<v Speaker 12>these questions, but if you're in many states like California

797
00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:40.519
<v Speaker 12>and New York and Illinois and many others, will never

798
00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:44.159
<v Speaker 12>even ask. It's against state law to even ask the

799
00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:49.920
<v Speaker 12>criminals whether they're illegals or not. And many states, even

800
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:53.840
<v Speaker 12>though they're allowed to, won't ask. And so the thing is,

801
00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:58.159
<v Speaker 12>if illegal, you may assure them, we're not going to

802
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.000
<v Speaker 12>go and tell law enforcement. We're not going to go

803
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:04.000
<v Speaker 12>and tell the Feds that you're illegal. But if you

804
00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:08.760
<v Speaker 12>have two people, an illegal outside of prison, illegal in prison,

805
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:11.480
<v Speaker 12>both of them may not want to own up to

806
00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:16.400
<v Speaker 12>whether they're illegally in the country. So you imagine there's

807
00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:18.920
<v Speaker 12>a little bit more of a risk for an illegal

808
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:21.760
<v Speaker 12>imprison to do that, at least in his mind, even

809
00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:23.719
<v Speaker 12>if you even if you tell him you're not going

810
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:27.480
<v Speaker 12>to go and tell Ice about it, simply because he's

811
00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:30.920
<v Speaker 12>easy to catch at that point and easy and he's

812
00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:35.000
<v Speaker 12>obviously somebody who should be deported clearly if he has

813
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:38.199
<v Speaker 12>a criminal record. And so the illegals in prison may

814
00:47:38.239 --> 00:47:42.199
<v Speaker 12>be slightly less willing than the illegals outside of prison

815
00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:43.119
<v Speaker 12>to kind of.

816
00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:45.639
<v Speaker 3>Own up to the fact that they're here illegally.

817
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, we've seen what happens in sanctuary cities and sanctuary

818
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:54.920
<v Speaker 1>states with the new crackdown on immigration in this country,

819
00:47:56.239 --> 00:48:01.480
<v Speaker 1>right and just recent stuff had the last week had

820
00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the primary in New York City for mayor, and Zoron Mandani,

821
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:12.199
<v Speaker 1>who simply came out of nowhere is talking about defunding

822
00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the police or eliminating the New York City to Police department,

823
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:20.599
<v Speaker 1>or has in the past and has insisted on continuing

824
00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:28.360
<v Speaker 1>that sanctuary status for illegals. You can only guess at

825
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:32.559
<v Speaker 1>what his motives are unless it's just political speak to

826
00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:36.800
<v Speaker 1>try and reach that segment of our population that believes

827
00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:40.360
<v Speaker 1>that no one should be illegal in this country. But

828
00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:45.239
<v Speaker 1>if this happens, I mean, Eric Adams finally kind of

829
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:51.320
<v Speaker 1>saw the light and started again cracking down on crime

830
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:57.039
<v Speaker 1>in our biggest city. And Mandani wants to undo anything

831
00:48:57.079 --> 00:49:01.400
<v Speaker 1>that Adams has done and send the Big Apple into

832
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:04.199
<v Speaker 1>what many people say will be a spiral that it

833
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:08.239
<v Speaker 1>may never recover from from the crime there that will

834
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:13.599
<v Speaker 1>ensue because of eliminated or defanged police departments. At your

835
00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:16.360
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on any of that, right.

836
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:19.880
<v Speaker 12>Well, I mean, in the past, surely he's made comments

837
00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:23.559
<v Speaker 12>saying that he wants to defund the police department. He's

838
00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:26.360
<v Speaker 12>made comments about wanting to get rid of the prison

839
00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:30.159
<v Speaker 12>system in the state. I don't know what, I guess

840
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:32.760
<v Speaker 12>just let people go all the time.

841
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:35.679
<v Speaker 3>You know, these.

842
00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:38.559
<v Speaker 12>Discussions aren't rocket science. If you want to reduce crime,

843
00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:40.639
<v Speaker 12>you have to make it riskier for criminals to go

844
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:44.719
<v Speaker 12>and commit crime. Higher rest rates, higher conviction rates, longer

845
00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:49.440
<v Speaker 12>prison sentences all matter in terms of deterring crime. Also

846
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:53.679
<v Speaker 12>letting individuals defend themselves. He also wants to ban all guns.

847
00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:57.360
<v Speaker 12>So if you make it so it's not risky, either

848
00:49:57.400 --> 00:49:59.880
<v Speaker 12>through law enforcement or in terms of people being able

849
00:49:59.880 --> 00:50:02.519
<v Speaker 12>to go and defend themselves. You know, it seems like

850
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:05.880
<v Speaker 12>a recipe for more crime. You know, you have these

851
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:11.440
<v Speaker 12>sanctuary cities and states which serve as magnets for illegals

852
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:14.000
<v Speaker 12>to go there because they believe that they'll be safer.

853
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:19.039
<v Speaker 12>Obviously it would be less likely to be deported. You know,

854
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:22.559
<v Speaker 12>if we have like twenty one million illegals who came

855
00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:26.679
<v Speaker 12>in during the Biden administration, you're talking about the equivalent

856
00:50:26.840 --> 00:50:31.679
<v Speaker 12>of essentially thirty congressional districts. And you can understand why.

857
00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:35.079
<v Speaker 12>I mean, that's a big difference. Could you imagine if

858
00:50:35.079 --> 00:50:40.480
<v Speaker 12>you had anything close to, you know, thirty more seats

859
00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:45.800
<v Speaker 12>for Democrats in Congress. You know what difference that that makes.

860
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:48.320
<v Speaker 12>Could you imagine how much easier it would be to

861
00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:52.159
<v Speaker 12>get the reconciliation bill through and get cuts if rather

862
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:55.320
<v Speaker 12>than you know, a three seat majority, they had a

863
00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:59.400
<v Speaker 12>thirty three seat majority for the Republicans.

864
00:50:58.719 --> 00:51:03.840
<v Speaker 3>That were there. So you know why they why.

865
00:51:03.559 --> 00:51:06.719
<v Speaker 12>You know, because you look at this and you say, okay,

866
00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:09.400
<v Speaker 12>even if you want to keep illegals, why do you

867
00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:12.039
<v Speaker 12>want to keep these guys who are child rapists or

868
00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:14.800
<v Speaker 12>murders or others that are there. Why do you just

869
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:19.280
<v Speaker 12>release them back into society, uh, you know, and hope

870
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:21.559
<v Speaker 12>maybe they show up for a court dat at some

871
00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:25.079
<v Speaker 12>later time. When they won't show up, Why do you

872
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:26.400
<v Speaker 12>want to have these people around?

873
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:27.000
<v Speaker 2>You know?

874
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:29.119
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately, the census.

875
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:36.360
<v Speaker 12>Counts illegals for congressional redistricting and for government money, federal

876
00:51:36.360 --> 00:51:39.360
<v Speaker 12>government money, just as much as if they were a

877
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:40.159
<v Speaker 12>US citizen.

878
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:42.480
<v Speaker 3>So that's maybe one.

879
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:45.719
<v Speaker 12>Thing that's going on and maybe helps explain why people

880
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:50.559
<v Speaker 12>like himself have the views that they do on with

881
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:52.840
<v Speaker 12>regard to illegal aliens.

882
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and the crime thing just baffles me. As you said,

883
00:51:56.920 --> 00:52:00.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not rocket science to figure out if you fang

884
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:03.119
<v Speaker 1>or get rid of the police, and then you don't

885
00:52:03.159 --> 00:52:06.960
<v Speaker 1>have prisons, and then you don't have the right and

886
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the ability to defend yourself, guess what's going to happen.

887
00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:15.239
<v Speaker 1>President Trump was roundly mocked when he first started talking

888
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:19.800
<v Speaker 1>about illegals in this country for insisting that other countries

889
00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:23.079
<v Speaker 1>or these foreign nationals, they weren't bringing the best and

890
00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the brightest into here, and they were bringing people who

891
00:52:26.840 --> 00:52:30.280
<v Speaker 1>were released from prison. And we know that happened in

892
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:33.599
<v Speaker 1>places like Venezuela and other places from around the world.

893
00:52:33.639 --> 00:52:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Where these people came in unvetted during the Biden administration.

894
00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:43.599
<v Speaker 3>We know that the administration advented. Yeah, you know about

895
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:44.800
<v Speaker 3>last September.

896
00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:50.760
<v Speaker 12>Finally, after many reputed requests from Congress, ICE came out

897
00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:53.880
<v Speaker 12>and said, look, of the seven point four million so

898
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:58.599
<v Speaker 12>called non detained individuals that they had released into the country, uh,

899
00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:03.960
<v Speaker 12>six and sixty three thousand of them had criminal records. Yes,

900
00:53:04.639 --> 00:53:08.280
<v Speaker 12>and that's clearly an underestimate. I mean you mentioned Venezuela

901
00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:13.199
<v Speaker 12>for example. Venezuela would not go and provide information on

902
00:53:13.239 --> 00:53:17.880
<v Speaker 12>the criminal backgrounds for their citizens who were legal aliens

903
00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:20.639
<v Speaker 12>in the country, and there's a number of other countries

904
00:53:20.679 --> 00:53:23.559
<v Speaker 12>that would not provide that information. So we have no

905
00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:28.320
<v Speaker 12>idea about a lot of those. Also, the seven point

906
00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:31.880
<v Speaker 12>four million so called non detained individuals who were released

907
00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:37.320
<v Speaker 12>into the country, these were virtually all individuals who voluntarily

908
00:53:37.400 --> 00:53:39.039
<v Speaker 12>turned themselves in at the border.

909
00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:39.599
<v Speaker 3>There.

910
00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:41.960
<v Speaker 12>You know, it's bad enough that you have six hundred

911
00:53:41.960 --> 00:53:44.840
<v Speaker 12>and sixty three thousand of them that we've identified as criminals,

912
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:48.920
<v Speaker 12>But the ones who are most likely to be problematic

913
00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:52.199
<v Speaker 12>are the ones who didn't turn themselves in at the border,

914
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:55.079
<v Speaker 12>who were willing to pass up the twenty five hundred

915
00:53:55.159 --> 00:53:58.519
<v Speaker 12>dollars you know, debit card that they were given, prepaid

916
00:53:58.519 --> 00:54:01.920
<v Speaker 12>debit card that they were given the Biden administration, and

917
00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:04.159
<v Speaker 12>all the other benefits that they were getting.

918
00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:06.840
<v Speaker 3>You know, the over two millions.

919
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:09.400
<v Speaker 12>So called guideaways that we saw coming across but we

920
00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:14.079
<v Speaker 12>didn't catch, or the many millions more that we never

921
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:18.079
<v Speaker 12>even saw coming across the border, because you know, seventy

922
00:54:18.119 --> 00:54:20.800
<v Speaker 12>six percent of the border agents were pulled off of

923
00:54:20.840 --> 00:54:24.400
<v Speaker 12>guarding the border and instead were being used to process

924
00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:28.159
<v Speaker 12>the flood of illegals, or the fact that about a

925
00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:31.280
<v Speaker 12>third of the passive monitoring equipment, the cameras and other

926
00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:35.079
<v Speaker 12>things were broken during the Biden administration. They had not

927
00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:38.440
<v Speaker 12>spent effort to go and try to fix them. So

928
00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:41.920
<v Speaker 12>there are large portions of the border that we had

929
00:54:41.960 --> 00:54:44.119
<v Speaker 12>no eyes on it. Also, we have no idea how

930
00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:46.679
<v Speaker 12>many more. But those are the ones. Those are the

931
00:54:46.679 --> 00:54:49.480
<v Speaker 12>ones who didn't voluntarily turn themselves in in order to

932
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:54.440
<v Speaker 12>get the benefits from voluntarily turning themselves in, who presumably

933
00:54:54.519 --> 00:54:56.800
<v Speaker 12>had by far the worst criminal records.

934
00:54:56.960 --> 00:55:02.360
<v Speaker 1>We are seeing a lot of voluntary self deportations since

935
00:55:02.440 --> 00:55:05.920
<v Speaker 1>President Trump has taken office, and just real quickly with

936
00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:10.440
<v Speaker 1>about a minute left, John Lott, what are any comments

937
00:55:10.480 --> 00:55:14.679
<v Speaker 1>on Alligator Alcatraz, which is opening this week in Florida.

938
00:55:15.239 --> 00:55:17.719
<v Speaker 1>We need more detention beds so they can have their

939
00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:20.800
<v Speaker 1>due process before they're sent back to their home countries

940
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:24.760
<v Speaker 1>or a third country as a Supreme Court denoted as

941
00:55:24.800 --> 00:55:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration and ICE continue to go after the

942
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:31.000
<v Speaker 1>worst of the worst of those illegals. Any comments on

943
00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Alligator Alcatraz.

944
00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:35.960
<v Speaker 12>Well, as you said, we have to have someplace in

945
00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:39.679
<v Speaker 12>order to put them. You know, they had this large

946
00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:43.840
<v Speaker 12>area that had been an airfield in the Everglades, and

947
00:55:44.719 --> 00:55:47.599
<v Speaker 12>you know it's relative and the state of Florida has

948
00:55:47.599 --> 00:55:52.119
<v Speaker 12>gone and as DeSantis seems to be a great manager

949
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:54.960
<v Speaker 12>and able to do, was able to set that up

950
00:55:55.639 --> 00:56:00.480
<v Speaker 12>for the federal government at you know, quickly and relatively

951
00:56:00.519 --> 00:56:04.920
<v Speaker 12>low cost. So I mean the fact that they're letting

952
00:56:04.960 --> 00:56:08.199
<v Speaker 12>the federal government go and use that is you know,

953
00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:10.360
<v Speaker 12>save taxpayers money.

954
00:56:10.760 --> 00:56:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Yep, absolutely, John Lott from the Crime Prevention Research Center

955
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:18.960
<v Speaker 1>crimeresearch dot org, if you would like to find out more,

956
00:56:19.599 --> 00:56:22.480
<v Speaker 1>and I certainly appreciate your time tonight, Doctor.

957
00:56:22.239 --> 00:56:25.639
<v Speaker 12>Low, Well, thank you, thank you for being there.

958
00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:28.639
<v Speaker 1>You bet you all was am until they tell me

959
00:56:28.719 --> 00:56:32.639
<v Speaker 1>not to show up again. We continue with this special

960
00:56:32.719 --> 00:56:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Fourth of July weekend nightcap in just a few hang on.

961
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:42.840
<v Speaker 1>It is a special edition holiday week get fourth of

962
00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:48.039
<v Speaker 1>July Red White, and Blue Spectacular. Here a special nightcap

963
00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:52.599
<v Speaker 1>on seven hundred WLW as we continue this evening. I

964
00:56:52.639 --> 00:56:58.480
<v Speaker 1>saw this pull out earlier this week, and I thought,

965
00:56:58.760 --> 00:57:01.360
<v Speaker 1>who better to talk to you about this than John Gordon,

966
00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:04.199
<v Speaker 1>the host of The Truth with John Gordon, a syndicated

967
00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:10.719
<v Speaker 1>radio program, and also a guy who was an endorsed

968
00:57:10.760 --> 00:57:13.880
<v Speaker 1>candidate by President Trump for a Georgia Attorney general back

969
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:17.679
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty two. You never know what his political

970
00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:22.880
<v Speaker 1>ambitions are. He'll break some big news tonight on the show.

971
00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you won't. I don't know either way, John Gordon,

972
00:57:26.960 --> 00:57:28.840
<v Speaker 1>It's great to have you on the show again. It's

973
00:57:28.840 --> 00:57:32.320
<v Speaker 1>been a while, but happy Fourth of July weekend man.

974
00:57:33.639 --> 00:57:34.039
<v Speaker 13>Thank you.

975
00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:35.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying to you and your listeners. You know I

976
00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:39.639
<v Speaker 5>went to Ohio Wesleyan to undergraduate school, and I used

977
00:57:39.679 --> 00:57:45.159
<v Speaker 5>to listen to WLW, and it is an iconic station

978
00:57:46.360 --> 00:57:47.320
<v Speaker 5>covering the Midwest.

979
00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:49.920
<v Speaker 3>It's clear channel, isn't I Yes?

980
00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Owned by iHeartMedia, which, oddly enough, it used to be

981
00:57:53.840 --> 00:57:57.119
<v Speaker 1>owned by a company called Clear Channel, but a matter

982
00:57:57.159 --> 00:58:00.960
<v Speaker 1>of fact, technically power wise, it was one of the

983
00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:04.239
<v Speaker 1>first Clear Channel AM stations in the country.

984
00:58:04.920 --> 00:58:07.719
<v Speaker 5>Starting back exactly, I was referring to the wattage, not

985
00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:08.559
<v Speaker 5>the owner.

986
00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Show right exactly. No, I knew what you were going for. Yeah,

987
00:58:11.960 --> 00:58:17.039
<v Speaker 1>And there were issues. Originally it was at seven ten

988
00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:20.599
<v Speaker 1>back in the thirties, and they when it went to

989
00:58:20.679 --> 00:58:24.119
<v Speaker 1>fifty thousand wants they had to move it for another

990
00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:27.119
<v Speaker 1>station somewhere it was interfering with, and they put it

991
00:58:27.119 --> 00:58:32.039
<v Speaker 1>at seven hundred. And there was nobody else within earshot

992
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:36.360
<v Speaker 1>of the contiguous forty eight anyway that was operating at

993
00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:40.920
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred kilocycles, So we had it to ourselves and

994
00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the station still tonight as an example, especially after sundown tonight,

995
00:58:49.039 --> 00:58:54.079
<v Speaker 1>we could be heard possibly in thirty eight states and

996
00:58:54.239 --> 00:58:57.840
<v Speaker 1>in Puerto Rico at points depending on the atmospheric conditions,

997
00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:01.760
<v Speaker 1>which is just wild considering urinecensei naty Ohio being heard

998
00:59:01.800 --> 00:59:06.039
<v Speaker 1>in Puerto Rico and for a number of years in

999
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:09.119
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen thirties prior to World War Two, the station

1000
00:59:09.360 --> 00:59:14.679
<v Speaker 1>was authorized at five hundred thousand watts, which meant that

1001
00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:18.840
<v Speaker 1>people near the tower were picking it up in their

1002
00:59:18.840 --> 00:59:22.920
<v Speaker 1>milk jugs and on their teeth, on their fillings, and

1003
00:59:23.000 --> 00:59:27.920
<v Speaker 1>on wrought iron fences and in their toilets, and halfway

1004
00:59:27.960 --> 00:59:32.039
<v Speaker 1>around the world. Seven hundred WLW was reaching out from

1005
00:59:32.079 --> 00:59:37.320
<v Speaker 1>America to Europe and foreign countries, which is pretty amazing

1006
00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:42.239
<v Speaker 1>for a station that's not a short wave station. So yeah,

1007
00:59:41.559 --> 00:59:48.599
<v Speaker 1>I never lose track of the site of the thought, John,

1008
00:59:48.800 --> 00:59:53.280
<v Speaker 1>that I am on one of the biggest landmark AM

1009
00:59:53.400 --> 00:59:56.119
<v Speaker 1>radio stations ever to exist in this country.

1010
00:59:56.840 --> 00:59:59.760
<v Speaker 5>And well, that is a true statement. What an honor

1011
00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:02.440
<v Speaker 5>and to you, and what a privilege for you to

1012
01:00:02.440 --> 01:00:05.159
<v Speaker 5>be able to hold the all the place on that

1013
01:00:05.480 --> 01:00:06.199
<v Speaker 5>iconic station.

1014
01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's an awful responsibility and I don't know if

1015
01:00:09.039 --> 01:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>my shoulders can always handle that load, but we do fine.

1016
01:00:14.159 --> 01:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>We do the best we can with what we got.

1017
01:00:16.880 --> 01:00:20.039
<v Speaker 1>So it's fourth of July. The countdown has begun, John Gordon,

1018
01:00:20.760 --> 01:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to America's two hundred and fiftieth year of existence. You

1019
01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>know that the clock is running now and next July fourth,

1020
01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six, I'm expecting an incredible celebration, especially with

1021
01:00:36.239 --> 01:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>this particular president in office. There are people who aren't

1022
01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>expecting very much. In fact, there are people in this

1023
01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:47.079
<v Speaker 1>country right now who didn't want to celebrate this weekend,

1024
01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>who didn't want to shoot off fireworks, who didn't want

1025
01:00:50.599 --> 01:00:55.159
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of this great experiment as a

1026
01:00:55.199 --> 01:01:01.679
<v Speaker 1>constitutional republic, and many of those people identify themselves as Democrats.

1027
01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>There was a Gallup poll out earlier this week, and

1028
01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I know you saw it. That's why we're talking tonight. Primarily,

1029
01:01:09.079 --> 01:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>this said only thirty six percent of Democrats were either

1030
01:01:13.960 --> 01:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>very proud or somewhat proud of their country only thirty

1031
01:01:17.440 --> 01:01:21.079
<v Speaker 1>six percent, so just over one in three. And the

1032
01:01:21.159 --> 01:01:25.679
<v Speaker 1>difference between people who registered or identified as Democrats and

1033
01:01:25.719 --> 01:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>those who were Republicans there was a fifty six point

1034
01:01:29.239 --> 01:01:35.239
<v Speaker 1>swath in between. And I don't know. I don't know

1035
01:01:35.239 --> 01:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>if that just doesn't bode well for the country, which

1036
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's harmful for American patriotic pride and the like,

1037
01:01:44.079 --> 01:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>especially on a weekend like this, but I think it

1038
01:01:48.440 --> 01:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>says more about the state and the mindset of people

1039
01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>who identify as Democrats. What are your thoughts on that?

1040
01:01:57.360 --> 01:02:01.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think that if you look at the challenges

1041
01:02:01.440 --> 01:02:05.960
<v Speaker 4>that we've had at the southern border, this is to me,

1042
01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:08.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, the glass is either half full or it

1043
01:02:08.320 --> 01:02:08.960
<v Speaker 4>is half empty.

1044
01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:11.960
<v Speaker 5>To me, I internalize that, Gosh, they're an awful lot

1045
01:02:11.960 --> 01:02:14.760
<v Speaker 5>of people who want to live here. There must be

1046
01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:21.400
<v Speaker 5>a compelling reason, and it has been a social experiment

1047
01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:24.519
<v Speaker 5>that started two hundred and fifty years ago that has

1048
01:02:24.559 --> 01:02:29.519
<v Speaker 5>survived the test of time, and it is grounded on

1049
01:02:30.239 --> 01:02:38.159
<v Speaker 5>having freedom. Freed of your choice of religion, freedom of speech,

1050
01:02:38.280 --> 01:02:43.719
<v Speaker 5>freedom of association. Freedoms of other countries do not afford

1051
01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:47.559
<v Speaker 5>their citizens. So why anyone would want to live here

1052
01:02:47.599 --> 01:02:53.079
<v Speaker 5>and be critical of America as a nation is bewildering

1053
01:02:53.079 --> 01:02:54.639
<v Speaker 5>to me, and I.

1054
01:02:56.079 --> 01:02:59.039
<v Speaker 13>Get the sense that it is a reflection of just

1055
01:02:59.079 --> 01:03:02.960
<v Speaker 13>a general lack oftitude. I get down on my hands

1056
01:03:03.000 --> 01:03:06.079
<v Speaker 13>and knees every day and I thank God for the

1057
01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:09.920
<v Speaker 13>family that I have, the family my parents, and the

1058
01:03:09.920 --> 01:03:12.079
<v Speaker 13>country that I've had the fortune to good.

1059
01:03:11.920 --> 01:03:15.440
<v Speaker 5>Fortune to live in amen for seventy two years now,

1060
01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:18.719
<v Speaker 5>all the opportunity that it has afforded me. So it

1061
01:03:18.840 --> 01:03:23.440
<v Speaker 5>is not a perfect place. There is work that remains

1062
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:25.199
<v Speaker 5>to be done, but we have come.

1063
01:03:25.199 --> 01:03:28.719
<v Speaker 3>So far well since I was a child.

1064
01:03:28.880 --> 01:03:31.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you talk about standing the test of time.

1065
01:03:31.760 --> 01:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>In the trials and tribulations, we had a civil war

1066
01:03:35.159 --> 01:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that split the country in half, pitting brother against brother

1067
01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>at some point, and we're able to come back together

1068
01:03:43.360 --> 01:03:51.719
<v Speaker 1>and keep this grand experiment in human government going. But

1069
01:03:52.360 --> 01:03:57.119
<v Speaker 1>the fact that here it's got to be something to

1070
01:03:57.159 --> 01:04:01.639
<v Speaker 1>do with just the anti Trump sentiment that's out there

1071
01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and prevalent among Democrats or people who identify as Democrats,

1072
01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>because during Joe Biden's administration, with all the frailties of

1073
01:04:11.320 --> 01:04:14.719
<v Speaker 1>that administration, with all of the harm that it caused,

1074
01:04:14.760 --> 01:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>with the open unvetted border, with the inflation, with everything else,

1075
01:04:19.440 --> 01:04:23.239
<v Speaker 1>with a commander in chief who were learning more and

1076
01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>more every day, simply wasn't there. He was just a

1077
01:04:26.519 --> 01:04:32.639
<v Speaker 1>puppet for powers unknown. And still at that point during

1078
01:04:32.639 --> 01:04:37.239
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration, eighty five percent of Republicans still identified

1079
01:04:37.920 --> 01:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>as being very proud or proud of this country eighty

1080
01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:45.079
<v Speaker 1>five percent during the Biden administration. And I think it

1081
01:04:45.199 --> 01:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>says a great deal about the other party because just

1082
01:04:52.280 --> 01:04:59.039
<v Speaker 1>because they're they're their banner keeper, isn't the head of

1083
01:04:59.079 --> 01:05:02.599
<v Speaker 1>the country as and just because they're in the minority

1084
01:05:03.280 --> 01:05:06.559
<v Speaker 1>right now in Congress, they're not proud of the country.

1085
01:05:06.559 --> 01:05:09.679
<v Speaker 1>What did Michelle Obama famously say she was never proud

1086
01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>of America until her husband became president. That is a

1087
01:05:13.199 --> 01:05:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Democrat mindset, isn't it.

1088
01:05:17.559 --> 01:05:22.199
<v Speaker 5>Well, I don't know that it reflects entirely the Democratic Party.

1089
01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:23.039
<v Speaker 3>I think that.

1090
01:05:24.639 --> 01:05:27.599
<v Speaker 5>I frequently say that I think the fringe elements of

1091
01:05:27.719 --> 01:05:32.400
<v Speaker 5>each party do great harm to us as a country

1092
01:05:32.840 --> 01:05:36.559
<v Speaker 5>because they're loud, they're vocal, and they're extreme. And the

1093
01:05:36.599 --> 01:05:39.519
<v Speaker 5>Republicans have an element in our party of that as well.

1094
01:05:40.519 --> 01:05:43.199
<v Speaker 3>And so I think that, you know.

1095
01:05:44.440 --> 01:05:50.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm a salesman. I'm optimistic, encourage people to be happy

1096
01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:54.159
<v Speaker 5>and joyful, and I think the country could be live

1097
01:05:54.239 --> 01:05:58.079
<v Speaker 5>up to those aspirations if we just all agreed that

1098
01:05:58.119 --> 01:06:01.079
<v Speaker 5>we're going to love our country, as imperfect as it

1099
01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:03.519
<v Speaker 5>may be from time to time. And I think that's

1100
01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:07.599
<v Speaker 5>the way to most effectively create change. You know, Polarizing

1101
01:06:07.639 --> 01:06:13.320
<v Speaker 5>people's accomplishes very little other than maybe furthering the political

1102
01:06:13.400 --> 01:06:14.840
<v Speaker 5>ambitions of the people.

1103
01:06:14.559 --> 01:06:15.400
<v Speaker 3>That try to do that.

1104
01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:18.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And I think that I think that's very sad.

1105
01:06:20.960 --> 01:06:23.000
<v Speaker 5>As much as I dislike him, I feel sorry for

1106
01:06:23.119 --> 01:06:26.199
<v Speaker 5>them that that's their their their mindset, state, the state

1107
01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:29.000
<v Speaker 5>of mind, because for one thing, it's not going to work.

1108
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:32.360
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you can try it, and it can be effective.

1109
01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:36.239
<v Speaker 5>You can get a platform and notoriety for it, but

1110
01:06:36.440 --> 01:06:40.239
<v Speaker 5>long term it is not going to work. Good always

1111
01:06:40.280 --> 01:06:43.920
<v Speaker 5>triumphs over evil. And that's my perception.

1112
01:06:44.840 --> 01:06:49.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, No, I concur with you absolutely. I just

1113
01:06:49.639 --> 01:06:56.239
<v Speaker 1>see I see constantly the divisions of the violence that

1114
01:06:56.480 --> 01:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>uh that one side has met with the other. I

1115
01:06:59.519 --> 01:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>don't see a whole lot of right wing fringe people

1116
01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:09.599
<v Speaker 1>setting cars on fire or storming federal buildings because they

1117
01:07:09.639 --> 01:07:14.079
<v Speaker 1>disagree with a policy. I see more people who again

1118
01:07:14.239 --> 01:07:18.920
<v Speaker 1>identify as Democrats, whether they are you know, representative of

1119
01:07:19.199 --> 01:07:24.639
<v Speaker 1>the majority of that party. I see them putting putting

1120
01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement at risk. I see them starting these protests

1121
01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:33.679
<v Speaker 1>that are not mostly peaceful. I don't see a whole

1122
01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:34.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of that on the right.

1123
01:07:35.639 --> 01:07:39.320
<v Speaker 5>And and well, no, there's I don't I don't see.

1124
01:07:39.119 --> 01:07:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Any of it on the right. I agree with you.

1125
01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:44.519
<v Speaker 5>I'm not I'm not comparing the bad people on the

1126
01:07:44.599 --> 01:07:48.079
<v Speaker 5>left right to the whacked people on the right. I'm

1127
01:07:48.079 --> 01:07:52.880
<v Speaker 5>just saying that, you know, that's the difference. And and

1128
01:07:53.199 --> 01:07:56.800
<v Speaker 5>there's a small number of people that are are are

1129
01:07:56.880 --> 01:08:01.119
<v Speaker 5>crazed on the right. Yes, I think ir relatively small

1130
01:08:01.199 --> 01:08:03.760
<v Speaker 5>number of people who would want who would be willing

1131
01:08:03.800 --> 01:08:08.559
<v Speaker 5>to commit violence on the left, and so I just

1132
01:08:08.559 --> 01:08:12.639
<v Speaker 5>think it's good to keep it somewhat in perspective as

1133
01:08:12.679 --> 01:08:16.920
<v Speaker 5>we look at these things. But the rallying cry has

1134
01:08:17.079 --> 01:08:22.560
<v Speaker 5>always been, virtually my entire life has been love of God.

1135
01:08:22.680 --> 01:08:24.319
<v Speaker 3>Family and country.

1136
01:08:24.279 --> 01:08:27.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And I just don't see.

1137
01:08:27.760 --> 01:08:31.239
<v Speaker 3>A problem with that value system. I really don't.

1138
01:08:31.840 --> 01:08:36.119
<v Speaker 5>And your family is never perfect, your country is not

1139
01:08:36.319 --> 01:08:37.359
<v Speaker 5>going to be perfect.

1140
01:08:37.479 --> 01:08:39.199
<v Speaker 3>The only perfect in.

1141
01:08:39.119 --> 01:08:43.119
<v Speaker 5>The in the creation was God, the Savior and his

1142
01:08:43.239 --> 01:08:44.479
<v Speaker 5>son who came here.

1143
01:08:44.560 --> 01:08:47.079
<v Speaker 3>Two thousand years ago to save us from our sin.

1144
01:08:47.319 --> 01:08:51.159
<v Speaker 1>I always say, John Gordon, there are only two constants

1145
01:08:51.199 --> 01:08:55.319
<v Speaker 1>in this life. One is God and one has change.

1146
01:08:56.000 --> 01:08:59.319
<v Speaker 1>And the difference between the two is that God never changes.

1147
01:08:59.680 --> 01:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>He is steadfast, He always loves us all no matter

1148
01:09:04.600 --> 01:09:08.319
<v Speaker 1>how we intentify politically. I don't think he really cares

1149
01:09:08.399 --> 01:09:14.159
<v Speaker 1>much about that. And you're right, love of God, family

1150
01:09:14.199 --> 01:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>and country is foremost in a large majority of Americans minds.

1151
01:09:19.680 --> 01:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>But this poll of about thirty six only thirty six

1152
01:09:23.880 --> 01:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>percent of Democrats are proud or somewhat proud of this

1153
01:09:28.119 --> 01:09:32.560
<v Speaker 1>great country is kind of telling of the times. For

1154
01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>one reason or another.

1155
01:09:33.680 --> 01:09:39.640
<v Speaker 5>That is, that is a staggering number. And I just

1156
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:43.199
<v Speaker 5>don't get it. I hope that's not what's in their heart.

1157
01:09:43.800 --> 01:09:46.520
<v Speaker 5>I hope it is some sort of a reaction to

1158
01:09:46.600 --> 01:09:49.960
<v Speaker 5>the politics of the day that they that's how they

1159
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:50.920
<v Speaker 5>internalize it.

1160
01:09:51.560 --> 01:09:53.680
<v Speaker 3>But you just can't stop.

1161
01:09:53.439 --> 01:09:55.119
<v Speaker 1>Loving the country that you live in.

1162
01:09:56.000 --> 01:09:59.239
<v Speaker 5>And if that's really the case, find someplace else to live. Amen,

1163
01:10:00.600 --> 01:10:03.279
<v Speaker 5>How would you remake the greatest country on earth? If

1164
01:10:03.319 --> 01:10:05.439
<v Speaker 5>you were king for a day and you had that mindset,

1165
01:10:05.640 --> 01:10:06.840
<v Speaker 5>what would you change about it?

1166
01:10:07.560 --> 01:10:09.199
<v Speaker 3>I mean the amazing thing to me.

1167
01:10:09.279 --> 01:10:13.399
<v Speaker 5>And I had a lunch with the head of an

1168
01:10:13.520 --> 01:10:16.560
<v Speaker 5>organization called fire. I wish I could remember what the

1169
01:10:16.600 --> 01:10:20.000
<v Speaker 5>acronym stands for, but it's basically a five oh one

1170
01:10:20.039 --> 01:10:22.079
<v Speaker 5>C three that defends freedom of speech.

1171
01:10:22.760 --> 01:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>And my.

1172
01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:30.039
<v Speaker 5>Statement to him was that if you accept the premise

1173
01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:32.560
<v Speaker 5>that oxygen is.

1174
01:10:32.439 --> 01:10:35.600
<v Speaker 3>The breath of life, I think you've.

1175
01:10:35.439 --> 01:10:38.840
<v Speaker 5>Got to accept the premise that freedom of speech is

1176
01:10:38.880 --> 01:10:42.319
<v Speaker 5>the breath of democracy. So why would anyone in their

1177
01:10:42.399 --> 01:10:45.760
<v Speaker 5>right mind ever want to deprive someone else of their

1178
01:10:45.800 --> 01:10:49.239
<v Speaker 5>freedom of speech? Because the natural following is that you're going.

1179
01:10:49.239 --> 01:10:52.880
<v Speaker 3>To lose your freedom of speech. Sure it is, and

1180
01:10:52.960 --> 01:10:56.680
<v Speaker 3>so it works both ways.

1181
01:10:56.720 --> 01:11:00.119
<v Speaker 5>And a lot of these policies are just insanity and

1182
01:11:00.319 --> 01:11:02.840
<v Speaker 5>communism has never worked. You can't find a place on

1183
01:11:02.960 --> 01:11:06.479
<v Speaker 5>earth that it has worked. And even countries that profess

1184
01:11:06.600 --> 01:11:13.600
<v Speaker 5>to be communists strictly adhere to communist doctor doctrine by

1185
01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:18.159
<v Speaker 5>their words, like the CCP are.

1186
01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Moving to a capitalist state.

1187
01:11:20.960 --> 01:11:25.600
<v Speaker 5>The young people in China are tremendously disaffected and do

1188
01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:29.359
<v Speaker 5>not like Chairman She, and Chairman She has lost the

1189
01:11:29.399 --> 01:11:34.479
<v Speaker 5>confidence of his military. There is a supposition that he

1190
01:11:34.560 --> 01:11:36.880
<v Speaker 5>may be on his way out, if he's not already.

1191
01:11:38.359 --> 01:11:40.319
<v Speaker 5>And I think that it will be a good thing

1192
01:11:40.399 --> 01:11:43.960
<v Speaker 5>that we'll find a more moderate form of leadership that

1193
01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:47.960
<v Speaker 5>will want to have allowed China to live in a

1194
01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:51.119
<v Speaker 5>global society, because they sure as I aren't doing it,

1195
01:11:51.439 --> 01:11:55.439
<v Speaker 5>can't do it under the pretenses that they're currently operating.

1196
01:11:54.920 --> 01:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Well as you, as you just so eloquently mentioned, is

1197
01:11:58.840 --> 01:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>President She the problem or is communism the problem? The

1198
01:12:02.920 --> 01:12:08.039
<v Speaker 1>problem is communism and the CCP uh. And it would

1199
01:12:08.119 --> 01:12:14.079
<v Speaker 1>be probably even more helpful if there was no such

1200
01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>thing as a Chinese Communist Party or it ceased to

1201
01:12:17.039 --> 01:12:21.359
<v Speaker 1>exist anymore, and they could find some other form of government.

1202
01:12:22.680 --> 01:12:23.760
<v Speaker 3>I could not agree more.

1203
01:12:23.800 --> 01:12:26.520
<v Speaker 5>And I think that there's a big faction, a growing

1204
01:12:26.560 --> 01:12:29.119
<v Speaker 5>faction in China that feels the same way.

1205
01:12:29.600 --> 01:12:31.680
<v Speaker 3>And you know, we look at.

1206
01:12:31.600 --> 01:12:35.159
<v Speaker 5>Things that happened in this country and we become very alarmed.

1207
01:12:35.199 --> 01:12:39.439
<v Speaker 5>And President Trump really helped shape my thinking on this

1208
01:12:40.279 --> 01:12:44.119
<v Speaker 5>just this past weekend when he interviewed with Maria Bartiromo

1209
01:12:44.239 --> 01:12:45.399
<v Speaker 5>on Sunday Morning Futures.

1210
01:12:45.520 --> 01:12:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I saw it.

1211
01:12:46.039 --> 01:12:50.359
<v Speaker 5>But she was talking about the bad things that China

1212
01:12:50.439 --> 01:12:55.039
<v Speaker 5>does in this country, and I, Maria Bartiomo and I

1213
01:12:55.079 --> 01:12:58.920
<v Speaker 5>are perfectly aligned. And as she was ticking them off,

1214
01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:04.119
<v Speaker 5>I was like, uh huh uh huh, Amen, you tell it, sister, yes, right,

1215
01:13:04.680 --> 01:13:06.720
<v Speaker 5>And then President Trump looked at her and he said,

1216
01:13:07.119 --> 01:13:10.319
<v Speaker 5>from Maria, you don't think we're not doing those things

1217
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:14.560
<v Speaker 5>in China, And it really gave me pause. And when

1218
01:13:14.600 --> 01:13:18.520
<v Speaker 5>you think about the American the amount of American influence

1219
01:13:18.680 --> 01:13:23.239
<v Speaker 5>in China, it has got to be overwhelming to the

1220
01:13:23.319 --> 01:13:27.840
<v Speaker 5>communist hard liners because we got Delta Airlines in Coca

1221
01:13:27.880 --> 01:13:34.000
<v Speaker 5>Cola and Tesla and JP Morgan Chase and just keep

1222
01:13:34.039 --> 01:13:36.760
<v Speaker 5>going down the line of these iconic companies that are

1223
01:13:36.800 --> 01:13:41.319
<v Speaker 5>engaged in capitalism inside of China. Now, they got to

1224
01:13:41.359 --> 01:13:46.119
<v Speaker 5>play by the CCP's rules, but it has to have

1225
01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:51.159
<v Speaker 5>a profound influence on the trajectory, long term trajectory of

1226
01:13:51.199 --> 01:13:53.920
<v Speaker 5>that country and where they end up.

1227
01:13:54.399 --> 01:13:57.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, So from your from your lips, John Gordon, to

1228
01:13:57.319 --> 01:14:01.800
<v Speaker 1>God's ears and to the ears of anybody who believes

1229
01:14:01.840 --> 01:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>in freedom. I got to close out. Unfortunately, I enjoyed

1230
01:14:05.960 --> 01:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>our time. I wish it was longer. But Happy Birthday America,

1231

01:14:19.800 --> 01:14:23.720
<v Speaker 1>feel about this country, you and I agree that it's

1234

1237
01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:38.760
<v Speaker 5>our freedoms and make it better. But don't hate on
