Professor Blames Israel for Students' Lost Minds
"Right by the way he's interviewing professor Rashid Khalidi you want to know why so many of our students have have lost their minds here's one reason and he says in this interview and I want to give a hat tip to Breitbart it's the first place where I saw he said this interview that Israel had not a legal or moral right to this and so is what your kids if you're going to Columbia learning when they're in this class here's just a little taste of 20 it catch go if you step back one minute I think it's very clear that if you occupy and if you imprison and blockade and besiege a population sooner or later that population is going to react violently and negatively Israelis talk about this as if it's you irrational know let me educate you moron the Gaza Strip was open and free it didn't start with a wall didn't start with a John Locke I know John Locke is very very foreign to people like Rashid Khalidi not his type of philosopher but he was the main behind America's founding and people said all these things you talked about I told you this I wrote about it what does it exist he says in America America is a clean slate well Gaza was a clean slate the won Israelis it with the lives of their soldiers when Israel was attacked from the Egyptians the Egyptians wanted nothing to do with it it's a sliver of land but it's beautiful piece of land actually on the Mediterranean Sea and it could have been a beautiful Hong Kong type country if you will but the problem was first the low moderates the took it over and then there was an election that was 2005 an election in 2007 and the peaceful Palestinian citizens voted for Hamas a known terrorist organization part of the Muslim Brotherhood umbrella operation and Hamas didn't hide who Hamas is but they voted for so this is an occupied territory it's not even in dispute it was given to the Palestinians a gift not even in dispute so when he says things like if you step back one minute I think it's very clear that if you occupy or if you imprison and blockade and besiege a population sooner or later that population is going to react so this is what his students are hearing so he's justifying terrorism and he goes on go ahead national at all the nature of the violence is of course

Brittney Sampedro on Husband's Line-of-Duty Cancer Diagnosis in Colorado
"So lymphoma is a very common cancer in the fire service, right? I did a little deep dive, maybe not super deep dive, but I definitely looked at some of the statistics for firefighters specifically. It's crazy. If you ever research it, which I'm sure you probably did at this point, the female firefighters, I did not know how like a 600 % increased risk of breast cancer. That's wild. Wow. And then firefighters have obviously a significant increased risk of cancer as they progress throughout their career. So at the 20 year mark, gets a little more at the 30 year mark, it gets a little more. So cancer is not uncommon in the fire service at all. But you said that the department specifically would never say for certain that it was because of his exposures to chemicals on the job or their gear containing the PFOAS. So was he eligible for any kind of benefit or anything from job related cancer? It's not covered under like a workman's comp type of thing. Colorado has something called the Colorado Cancer Trust. So it's departments that elect to put money into an account that say like, there's an eligibility criteria. He had been a firefighter at that point in 2019 for 10 years. So he was eligible to say like, yes, he's had enough exposure to have been at risk to have this type of cancer that is known or more common for firefighters. So lymphoma was on there. I know testicular cancer is a big one too for men. I didn't know breast cancer for women, but there is an eligibility criteria. They don't come out and say that this is work related. And the department and the everybody who works for Greeley Fire was amazing. They all covered his shifts. So he was able to go through treatment. He had to step offline for a while. And then when the pandemic hit, he kind of was forced to sit at a desk for a little bit just because his immunity was still really low. But I don't even think that there was something written out that like, what happens if a firefighter has cancer? It was just kind of like the guys, everybody at the department banding together and being like, I got your shift. I got your next shift. And they got it all figured out for us. But there was never like a, like, this is work related is workman's comp. It's a, it's a work related issue. It was kind of a separate, you know, like having the cancer trust and then having the Terry Farrell fund reach out to, knowing that it could be a job related cancer. So Colorado is not a presumptive cancer state then. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. And it's crazy to me that in 2023, after all of these studies that there are States that don't have that presumptive cancer legislation. It blows my mind.

Dan Shares Observations From His Time in the South
"Paula at the Iron Bowl. And I said, listen, I obviously haven't met a person from the south, but I've been down here a lot, like for a really long time now. And this is my personal experience with you know, God matters down there. Not that God didn't matter in New York. My family was very religious. We went to St. Pancras Church every Sunday, but God really matters in the south. Central to everything. Everything. God comes first and everything else comes second. And you really see it in the south. It's just even the way they talk. It reminds me, you know, I love Morgan Wallen. That's actually a song, the way I talk. And as a guy who loves Jesus Christ and unfortunately fails him so often, you know, I'm just deeply impacted by how much people from the south so deeply love God and faith and the faith -based portion of the community. You know, sometimes up of earth. Things are like New Yorkers are just very skeptical of a lot of stuff. It's not a knock. It's just they've been burned a lot by a lot of bad people. So a lot of things are considered like hokey. Like, hey, is church going to do bingo. I've been to New York, it's like, ah, that's hokey. That's goofy. Right, Jim? That's like New York. That ain't doing it. That's kind of hokey. Not down south, man. That's a community. Yeah, it's bingo. That's cool. Let's go do some bingo. Whatever. Good for you, man. I also noted that things I picked up down On 20 years living south in New York. You know, manners and structure matter. You know, people don't say, yes, sir, and no, ma 'am, because they're obligated to. They say it because they want It imparts structure in a chaotic world. Respect the elderly. You know, they get over and out of the way when a funeral procession happens. Again, things I've seen, these are just my experiences. I'm not speaking for everyone. don't I stereotype people, good or bad. But structure matters. Manners

PublicSq's Michael Seifert on Avoiding the Anti-Musk Lynch Mob
"Our next guest will be at America Fest speaking all about the new corporate warfare. Joining us now is Michael Seifert from Public Square. You should check out the Public Square app and download it. So Michael, I tweeted this out. It was seen by a couple million people. Now, more than ever, we need to stand with X and defend free speech. We must boycott the ex -boycotters. Apple, Comcast, IBM, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Paramount, Home Depot, Warner Brothers. They all are boycotting X. Make it hurt, end subscriptions, don't go to their movies, light them up in their comments, cancel the new set of AirPods, etc. Stop supporting those who hate free speech. Michael, your reaction? Well, I think it's pretty simple. The new battlefront is in the world of economics. Consumer spending is your new weapon. And the world of politics has played out very differently than it was even 20 years ago. 20 years ago, this stuff was happening, but it was behind the scenes. Companies would wage war on your values, but they would do it without social media exposing them. But now we are learning in this new digital age just how much the executives at these companies hate your right to speak your mind. Media Matters running a fake hit piece on Elon Musk and on X simply because of his views to value free speech. These companies then kowtow to Media Matters because they're so afraid of losing their virtue signaling points out in the public square. And what ends up happening? Well, X is stripped of significant ad dollars, but we the people had a clear response. We wanted to stand up and support X because we want to support free speech. The people want liberty, not tyranny. And that is now being played out in the world of advertising, consumer spending and engaging media content. It's as you described, Charlie, if we want to win, it's got to be bigger than just voting every two and four years. It has to be with the movies we watch, the way we spend our time, how we spend our dollars and the platforms we engage in. So good on X for standing strong. And we as a company at public square are proud to continue supporting

"This first is about a minute 20 seconds the new president of Argentina Javier again Malay we discussed it yesterday this is the kind of thing ordinarily wouldn't make it into conservative radio a foreign election unless it was a big deal ladies and gentlemen this is an earthquake why? because liberals are afraid that other dumb liberals who vote for them are starting to wake up about how bad things really are due to liberalism and people like Javier Malay completely and totally understand just like Donald Trump that are politics just pictures and quick soundbites and if you get don't that and you think it's white papers and SWOT analysis and then diagrams like Kamala Harris you my friend are gonna lose I want you to listen to the media totally melting down over Javier Malay and apply the Dan Bongino theory if they're melting down about it it must be a good thing check this out a far -right outsider compared to former President Donald Trump has been elected to president of Argentina coming from the far -right Javier Malay a far -right politician a far -right politician far -right candidate far -right outsider extreme right -wing Mila is just way out there on the extreme scale Argentina has elected a right -wing populist right -wing populist right -wing populist Javier Malay is populist a who lacks government experience and displayed erratic behavior and foul language this is a potentially potentially worrisome development he's promised us some radical measures wielding a chainsaw symbolizes war government on spending threatening vital public services he has absolutely no areas his screens resonated widely his screens resonated widely with particularly young men. Malay's controversial tirades against the political class have drawn comparisons to neighbor Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro as well as former president Donald Trump. he has been deemed the Donald Trump of Argentina. Malay's campaign drew comparisons to Donald Trump's here in Malay the US. who has been compared to former president Donald Trump. You can guess who congratulated him by saying make Argentina great again. Make Argentina great again. Maybe these anti -democracy forces will in the end get overwhelmed but that didn't happen in Argentina not not even close whenever they freak out about something a bat signal should go up. Why are they freaking out? Always ask yourself why. Don't be like your dumb liberal never ask why about anything never Obama's great why I I don't know! I don't know that!

Nova Hardscapes' Nasir Acikgoz on Thriving in Uncertain Times
"Think right now the way the economy is the way things have let's say slowed down the way interest rates have risen Politics, okay world governments and all this stuff that's going on They they you know, I feel it in the air that people just want to like curl up, you know And and they don't want to continue to push in a certain way It's kind of like let me hold all my money whatever I have left and I'm not gonna let it go, you know But you have to invest to create if you don't invest you can't create don't be scared to do that when it comes to what he's selling but My question for you is all of this stuff that's going on and you are full throttle you have I see you in the venture 36 -foot venture with quad 500 Merc's And you're flooring the throttles Why do you feel that way? When it comes to that, are you scared about anything that's coming up or you just go based off of off of what? Opportunity vision what I I don't stop I go full throttle all the time and What drives me that when I wake up I think I said I mean God has a plan and I believe in God and I I in he says it work be honest work and it's gonna happen and In this country opportunities are limitless. I mean, there's no limit. There's no There's no product you're gonna say all about people are yes, they're they're holding off They're not gonna they're you know, they're not gonna spend I will never think that way I still keep bringing and I'm gonna bring it We're gonna invest as a matter of fact The green industry has an advantage one of the biggest advantages that I've noticed is if the people are stressed They're stressed with things politics and all that how do they relax of course they go they do sports and stuff One of the things they'd relax is they work in the garden. They work in the backyard They work, you know, they do things or just looking at plants to look at plants. What did what does it do to you relaxes you? One of the things that I'm realizing because we do a lot of pool pools and you know Like we sell a lot of natural stone for pool pool decks and pool coping like for pool products That business is still booming because During the pandemic, obviously people were spending time outside and whatnot But also after the pandemic still that kept going it never stopped And the green industry picked up right right during the the pandemic. Yeah, it keeps going crazy boom Yes, it's still going. Yes. It's a little bit see slow down a little bit, but it's not gonna stop Nobody's gonna stop buying things. Well, we saw wasn't normal first of all. Yeah, it was out You know, it wasn't normal normal growth, you know normal growth year over year at least for me was 20 20 percent growth Correct, maybe 25. So I was able to do 20 to 25 percent more than I did the previous year Let's say that's normal. That's normal average, you know, but you have guys that went up a hundred two hundred three hundred percent in two years You know, so it's just a lot like even the the smaller landscapers they were used to doing, you know Three four hundred thousand dollars to say a small landscaper and a lot of them crossed a million in in two years I know, you know the Amelia 1 .5 to 2 .5 and how did that happen because of this crazy boom? So now what they're seeing is the slowdown effect a lot of people weren't prepared for this to slow down They weren't they didn't let's say understand what was going on or see what was going on And they didn't think it was gonna, you know finish so I hope everyone put you know something away for For this if not, you're gonna learn the next one. You need to yeah, you need to save obviously I'm not saying you need to spend everything but you know It's a cycle then the economy is a cycle four years five years up and then four year five years down four years So if you don't invest when it's down Obviously within your you know budget and and and means and means You're not gonna gain when it picks up again So what I'm doing is when it's up you keep investing anyway when it's down you keep going Obviously, I'm not in I'm investing. I'm actually reinvesting per se Not so aggressively as I did it during the pandemic because the demand was huge. Yeah, you saw it's still going I'm still going like I'm like, okay, so I was adding maybe five products back then but now I'm adding one two But I keep adding because I'm trying to prepare myself for the next rush. Yep, you know Hopefully we'll see those numbers again, but you know, it's gonna be tough. You'll see those numbers as more people use

Liberals Outraged by Children Surviving Cancer
"Well i read an article this weekend in the wall street journal and it was great and the reason i read it because i usually read the op -ed column and i'll go through the what's new section but that's really it then i go over to other sites but this one really piqued my interest it says good news on children and cancer i was like wow i gotta read this because i'm my afraid kids may god forbid hope they don't have this gene and the article is amazing it talks about how the death rate for leukemia which is the most common childhood cancer is down 47 percent in 20 years like my gosh that's amazing brain even brain cancer down 11 percent i'm i'm reading this article i want you to understand through not through a political lens at all i'm reading it it'll make sense in a second where i'm going with this but i'm reading this as a concerned person who had this disease and for a concerned parent too and i'm halfway down the article and i'm thinking to you know this is amazing and it hits me again how bad liberals really suck in what a cancer article by kids yes folks you're sane in the audience can we all agree what i just told you is a universally good thing kids death rates from cancer are down dramatically because of scientific advancements roy you're in the audience like who would object to that liberals no yes no yes come on yes no wait yes yes they're upset why because the same liberals that want to censor you bankrupt you put you in jail charge you with terrorism to walk into an open door in the capital fired from your job why you declared a nazi because you made a comment one day about twitter about liking donald trump they're upset because quote progressives are flogging the cancer reports finding that racial disparities in cancer deaths have increased mortality rates roughly were similar for whites hispanics and blacks in 2011 but progress stalled for blacks and whites they note that by 2021 the death rate for white children was 16 for blacks and hispanics you're like really that's that's bad we don't want that we certainly don't want kids to die because they're black or hispanic that would only be like an animal so not even an animal but a demon might have to wish for that oh and then we find out the reason so liberals are mad that more kids are living by uh surviving cancer why are they mad because there's still disparities what's causing them one possible explanation the story notes may be that medicaid patients lack access to premier oncologists and have to wait for appointments with specialists to get diagnosed there it is folks

Chris Describes Navigating Custody Battles and False Accusations
"You for having me on again. I know that we spoke the last time and I was going through a lot of, you know, the whole situation is terrible. And, you know, now I finally got some resolution and I know that you were like, you said that you're going back to court or something and you could use some, some, some good news. Yeah. So, you know, we, we, we last ended with my struggle going in and like trying to file for overnights previously. So I'll just give you a recap from that situation to now. Sorry, there's a dog. 2020, So in 2021, I was allowed to file for overnights. The judge was like, you know what, your child's too young. You can file when she's a year old. So I had to wait to file, of course, and then she's a year old and then you wait three months to get your hearing and then they hear you. And then that judge was like, okay, well, you weren't guaranteed overnights. You'll have to, um, you'll have to have like a custody neutral assessment, just like throwing anything you can in front of me just to, to block it. All right. And so we have a custody neutral assessment and then I get charged criminally, criminal charges. I go to jail for a day or so. For what? Yeah. So she accused me of stalking her and harassing her. And so then I get out of jail, of course. And the judge is like, okay, because there are charges pending, you know, she gets full legal custody and, uh, you know, you can't file for overnights until this is resolved. That is unreal. Now during my whole court proceedings, I think I even sent you some of the transcripts. Like I've been telling the judge that she is the one stalking me. She's outside my house all the time. Like she's, her mother is harassing me and yelling at me. I have like all this video footage of it. Like again, like once you get into family court, you have to document everything because there, there, there is no limits. Like a person will do absolutely anything to get the upper hand. But I've been telling the judge the whole time and he's like, well, are there any charges? I'm like, no, I don't think it's in my child's best interest for her mother to be in jail. So she gets this idea and now I'm the one that ends up in jail. So the judge takes all of my rights away and because of this stalking allegation. However, right before he does it, we were in court and she tells the judge point blank, yes, I am stalking him. After all of this, I've been telling the judge that she's been stalking me. I, I have all of the evidence. The judge takes all of my rights away. She tells the judge that she's stalking me. And in the transcript you see the judge, oh, that don't need to be on the record, which is hilarious. And then, and then so I lose all my rights and he's like, okay, well when your, your, your charges resolve, you can then file for overnights again. So now we fast forward because, you know, 19, I think like took 19 or 20 months for it to finally resolve. And I ended up having to go into this, so like, like my case was like indicted by the way. I ended up having to go into this program called PTI because I've never, I'm not a criminal. I've never been in trouble for anything. And, and if you don't know what PTI is, PTI stands for pretrial intervention. It's for, it's for people that have never been in trouble. And they're like, well, you're facing some serious allegations or charges. And instead of like having a record, you basically go into this program. It's like a one time get out of jail free card. And once you complete the program, you no longer have chart, you have no longer have a criminal record. All this will go away. So I have to enter this program. And of course the mother is like fighting with, fighting with the prosecutor and like trying to keep me from this resolving as much as humanly possible. Even after she's already admitted to stalking me, which is like bizarre because you would think that would go somewhere, right? Right. I mean, I'd be going after the judge. Like, you know, there's, it's, it's almost nothing you can do about it. You know, like, um, you know, the very final hearing, you know, all of this is going on and the judge is like, you know, this child's gonna have a terrible life. This is all my fault. And he says that on the record. It's like insane. Like, so, so I, I go through this thing for 19 months, but while, while I'm waiting for my criminal issue to resolve, I'm enforcing court orders because now she's taking it upon herself to keep my daughter from me. So now we're still in court. So I filed to enforce the court order. She has like over 30 violations and, uh, the, the, you know, the, every, I have, I go through the two judges and the judges are like, nobody wants the judge that I have now, by the way, the judge is like, you know, nobody wants to deal with this, so I'm going to deal with it. You know, and it took 10 months to get it, to get it in front of, into a trial. So we have a trial and the judge finds her to purposely be thwarting my time and her being a liar and you know, and, and all of the criminal things came out during this trial as

Bundle Of Nerves (MM #4622)
"I'm not someone who gets very nervous very often. All those years in the media helped out. When you get up on stage and talk to 20 -30 ,000 people at a concert, you don't think twice. When you get up and make business presentations to high -powered important people, no big deal. But tonight, two of my nephews are playing in a high school football game. The semi -state 2A championship game. So it means they're one of the last four teams in 2A football in the state of Indiana. And I'm just a bundle of nerves. I've been nervous for the last three weeks as they move up through the ranks of the sectionals, the regionals, to now the semi -state game. Well, I'll be honest with you, it's almost like I was playing. And here's the kicker. They're not even my relatives. They're my wife's sister's kids. So therefore, there's no blood running through me. It's just I love the kids so much. I just want them to do so well. I've watched them grow so much over the last couple of years playing football. A sport that I never really cared that much about. It's never been my favorite sport. I'm still a bundle of nerves. Not because I'm worried about them getting hurt, because I actually see them having a chance of winning the state championship. I can't even imagine how they feel.

Thanks for having me, can you hear me okay? Yeah, I can hear you great, you sound great, you sound good to me, wow, so first, seven marriages you're like Liz Taylor, almost, yes, wow, that's so interesting, I can find seven people that I liked enough to even date, I don't even know about Mary, yeah, and then so was it the last, the seventh husband that got you, because he was an intelligent, in the military that got you into the UFOs, yes, exactly, all right, so I'm going to turn the mic over to you, like, why don't you share a little bit about, like, how you got into what you're doing today, and talking about UFOs and extraterrestrials, I totally believe in it, many of the people that listen to my show do, many of my former guests believe in UFOs, you know, so, yeah, tell us about it. Okay, well, and I can't remember, that was part of my bio, but you know, when I was a kid, we watched, I grew up in the 50s and 60s, so we watched Martian movies that were pretty cheesy, and then, yeah, I didn't think anything more about it, and I didn't, you know, I didn't even think about it until much later, I'd had some ghost experiences in my when I met number seven, I was still a member of the Mormon Church, but after I met him, and I started visiting him, and we started talking about other things, and other spiritual things, and stuff, I left the church, so that's, that's a different story, because like, it was no big trauma there, but then, you know, probably years, well, it wasn't right away, but years, I mean, I knew he'd been into the military, eventually, I knew it was military intelligence, and eventually, you know, it probably was a good two or three, or, you know, it was a few years into the relationship, and he gave me something to read, and type up, because he'd written this story about a space mission that he'd been on, and I'm going, what, this is real, and you've been in space, and there's aliens, and this is all real, and yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's funny, because in 2004, he said, oh, there's a, and at the time, I was living in California, and, and he said, oh, there's a UFO conference in the San Francisco barrier, you know, you might want to go, it's like, okay, that sounds like fun, and I went, and I was just going to go for one day, it's like, oh, I need to go back for the second day, because this was all new, and exciting information to me, and then, by the next year, I had enough of his information at my fingertips, so that I could have my own booth at that, that fair, and then I started getting on radio shows, and speaking at conferences, and things, so it, you know, it was, it lasted, well, I was, I was on the speaking circuit until a COVID hit, basically, okay, you know, yeah, and then I've been on a lot of podcasts, and, and I just start, I just did my first in -person speaking thing a couple weeks ago,

Mike Agugliaro: To Scale a Business You Have to Scale YOURSELF
"So what would you, what do we tell the company that the business owner who's been doing, you know, somewhere between two and four million and he's capped out and he's burned out and he's not charging enough. What kind of advice do you understand it? He's good at what he does, but he doesn't understand a lot of the business side. What kind of advice do you give that guy? Well, I mean, the first thing everybody should write down, that's listening to this to, to scale anything, you have to scale yourself. And I think people don't spend enough time investing in improving themselves. They, they carry these belief systems that they've been programmed with. Like my dad, you know, he, he told me when I was a kid, he programmed me with money doesn't grow on trees. And after I was doing about 20 million in business and just anybody listening, I went from under a million to 32 million in less than 10 years. So I had 165 service trucks on the road all over New Jersey. You know, we, we did 40 ,000 customers a month. So we did a fair amount of customers, 200 employees, double digit profit. And what's that? What year? That was 2017. And I sold it in 2017, which feels like yesterday to me, I sold it for a sign my name and walk away deal at one of the highest multiples, not compared to what's happened through this last roll up, but one of the highest multiples, I was like the cat's meow, you know, and my dad, I went to him and I said, dad, you were right about one thing and wrong about another. And of course, my dad's a big Italian guy. He wants to know what he did wrong, right? I said, first, you told me money doesn't grow on trees. I said, but if I had lemon trees and apple trees, I could pick that and sell it for money. And he said something to me that changed my life forever. He said, you know what, son, I only told you what my dad told me. And in his dad told him, I started to question myself, how many people struggling in business in the world today for whatever they want to do, because they keep following beliefs that might have some value, but may not have what you need today. So then, of course, Greg, you're probably wondering, my dad's like, oh, well, at least what did I tell you that that was true? I said, well, you told me you didn't own the utility company, shut the damn lights off. And I said, you were right. You still don't own you still don't own the utility company. And then I became just like my dad, my kids, my whole life telling them shut the lights off, right? I don't own the utility company. So I think that's part about business owners today is to sit there and say, hang on, maybe I don't know. The next one, I'd say probably number three here is I am such a believer in coaching. Not because we do forms of coaching. I've had seven coaches is the most I had at one time. I had spiritual coach, relationship coach, marketing coach, business scaling coach. I have seven. I am a big believer that you're investing in solving your most immediate problem. And you probably heard this phrase. Everybody heard it like success leaves clues. But like who has time to be like when my daughter was little, she used to watch Dora the Explorer for anybody that knows that like who has time in life, Greg, to go run around and play Dora the Explorer and look for a clue. I want someone to give me the clue right now and say, look, here's what I want you to consider. If you do this and this, you're probably going to get that. And we've proved that over time. So those three, those couple things there can change everything for everyone.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Communicating Christ to Others
"Let's open our Bibles tonight, we're gonna actually be in just a couple quick passages tonight, but let's begin this evening in the book of Mark chapter 16, Mark 16, we're gonna look at one of the Great Commission passages to begin with tonight. The title of tonight's message is, Communicating Christ to Others. Communicating Christ to Others. What do we mean by that? So we're gonna start out with something, a very familiar command to us by the Lord Jesus, so Mark 16 and verse 15. The Bible says here, And He said unto them, unto His disciples, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature, or literally to all creation. Wherever you go, go and preach the gospel, proclaim the gospel. And so this is definitely some very important instructions from our Lord, we refer to this as the Great Commission, and as a command for us to be His salt alights, to spread His message of truth, no matter where we go around the world. We've been talking on Wednesday nights, one of the blessings or assurances that Jesus gave His disciples and even to us, that we would do greater works than even He did, and not greater in like how many or even in the way that they're being done, but greater in the scope that was done. And so remember Jesus, the miracles that He performed was pretty much just to Israel, His teaching was to Israel, to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, but we see in the book of Acts, that message went really not in just Jerusalem and Judea, but also Samaria in the uttermost part of the world, much broader than it was during Christ's ministry itself. And so it's again, they didn't do a greater job than Jesus did, I mean, no one can do that, okay? But the scope of it was much greater. And so tonight we're going to be talking about really the application of that, and even as we look at missions today, here at Victory Baptist, I'm very proud that we support about 21 missionaries serving really around the world, representing human here in Minnesota and then abroad, and we rejoice in that. I'm really looking forward to this missions conference coming up in just a few weeks. Again, we have three speakers that will be with us, Brother Sam Slobodian, who we know well, reaching Ukrainians and Eastern Europeans, Russian speakers, predominantly, with the gospel, and looking forward to hearing an update from what's going on in his world, his ministry. And then we have another man, Andrew Counterman, who is a director over a ministry that helps church planters in Latin America, and God has been doing some good things through his ministry. I actually talked to him this week, and I found out that years ago, he actually used to be on the board of BIEM, which is the mission board of Sam Slobodian. So he and Sam Slobodian are good friends, haven't seen each other in a while, so they look forward to reconnecting at the conference. Small world, isn't it? And then we have David Bennett, with Silent Word Ministries International. I've known David for many years, and he ministers to the deaf around the world, and really kind of an interesting mission field. I think a lot of times we forget about the deaf communities around, and how much they do need to hear, literally, they need to hear Jesus, they need to hear about Jesus. How do deaf people hear? They actually hear with their eyes and they talk with their hands, okay? Pretty amazing. They still communicate. So very interesting, how do we share the gospel with the deaf around us? And we're gonna do a lot of application here tonight as well. So when we think about the Great Commission, to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, although this command is simple, the task before us is great. In human terms, the Great Commission is daunting, but that God has promised us His presence and His power as we go forth in His name. In the world's population today, we have what, 7 .7 billion people, I believe, it's growing by the minute, right? And so there's a lot of people in this world, especially in the past 100 years, my word, the world's population has grown exceedingly. And so when we think of that, and we're supposed to go into all the world, preach the gospel to every creature, every person, wow, where do you start? Where do you begin? And I think that's kind of, when you look at it again from a human perspective, that seems overwhelming, but how do we do this? By looking at modern missions and when we kind of the traditional approach we take to missions, even here at Victory Baptist, there are a few challenges that must be considered. So I wanna do something tonight. About a year ago, we actually went over the philosophy of missions in the local church. We spent several weeks on why we do missions, why do we have, why is the local church involved? We talked about even the deputation process, is that even biblical support raising? Is that biblical? We talked about a little bit of the missions experience across the world and wherever they may be. We talked about all those things, but here's some, just a very quick recap of two things. First of all, what is missions? Let's talk about that. Missions is this, missions, this is kind of my definition in a way, but kind of modified from others, but missions is the responsibility and the task of the local church to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world for the purpose of discipleship, multiplication of self -supporting, self -governing and self -propagating churches for the glory of God, okay? So as we talk about works that are eventually self -supporting, self -governing, self -propagating church, in other words, they become kind of, they're not dependent on a foreign entity per se. They have their own independence, if you will. So that is, that's one of the goals of missions, but who is a missionary? Who is a missionary? There's a song that I remember singing when I was little, be a missionary every day. I don't be a missionary every day, tell the world that Jesus is the way. I don't know if you ever heard that song or not, but the fact of the matter is that song's not true. Not everyone is called to be a missionary as a vocational missionary. Everyone is called to be an ambassador for the Lord in that regard. You represent Jesus Christ no matter where you go, but here is, this is why. Why do we say, when we talk about missions and missionaries, who is a missionary? And this is a definition here, a missionary is one called by God to full -time service of Bible study and prayer and one who crosses cultural and or geographical boundaries to proclaim the gospel in areas where Jesus Christ is largely unknown, okay? Let me slow down a little bit and read that again because there's a lot in that. A missionary is one called by God to full -time service of Bible study and prayer and then one who crosses cultural and or geographical boundaries to proclaim the gospel in areas where Jesus Christ is largely unknown. So that's when we talk about missionaries and we support a missionary and we have, like you said, we have 21. That is generally their description, okay, in those parts, so very important, okay? But one thing that we're gonna talk about tonight is this. This is a practical way. We talked earlier about in modern missions, there are a few challenges that missionaries do face and it's one that often does not, it sometimes gets talked about but it is not really thought about. What do you mean? So it's, again, this is something that's talked about but not really thought about. What is one of these challenges? And one of the challenges that missionaries often face is that of language barriers. There's cultural barriers. I think we think about, when I was in Bible college, I was a missions major and so I remember going through one of our missions classes and our professor, he said that there is three Fs in the missionary experience. The first is fascination. When a missionary gets to the field, there's a fascination. It's kind of like honeymoon period, wow, you're kind of like the tourist, you know, you take pictures of everything, buy all the souvenirs, you know, you kind of get that fascination. The second part, though, after you're there for a while, you get, it becomes frustration because you figure out, wait a minute, you stick out like a sore thumb in that culture. You don't look like, talk like, act like the culture that you're in and sometimes they don't think the way you do or, you know, respond the way you're expecting. So there's a frustration in the culture. We never got to the fourth F, or the third F, excuse me, we never got to the third F, so I have no idea what comes after frustration. He left us hanging all these years, it's been 20 some years. I have no idea what we're supposed to end up. I would say, if anything, I think there is a sense of fulfillment that you are obedient to Christ, our faithfulness, that you're there sticking out as long as God keeps you in that area. But nonetheless, language barriers is very, it's a real barrier and it's actually more, and I'll kind of break it down a little bit here in just a moment here, but language barriers is actually a very serious barrier that missionaries must take, that they must cross. And so learning another language in another culture, preferably by immersion, is something that's very challenging that a lot of missionaries face and I think this is really where you find out who's going to stick it out in missions versus who's not going to stick it out. And I'll get to that, why is that, okay? So let me ask you this, how many of you took a foreign language, whether it be in high school, college, whether it be, several of you have, okay? I jokingly say, Linnea just started a Spanish class at co -op, but I jokingly say, the high school Spanish you have, by the time you get older, you're just good enough to order at Taco Bell, you know? So speaking, practically what do you do with that? And so if you've actually learned and studied another language, like actually seriously hit the books on it and to immerse yourself in that culture if you can, is very important. But here's some quick statistics. There are, how many languages are there in the world today? How many known languages? There are over, there's about, actually this is the report as of earlier this year, January 1st, 7 ,117 known languages spoken by people around the world, according to Ethnologue. Well over 7 ,000 languages represented around the world, that's a lot, okay? So here's the next question, I'm gonna ask you this, what do you think? Which language has the most native speakers, in other words, this is their first language, their birth languages if you will, which language has the most native speakers, what do you think? Chinese, yes, absolutely, 1 .27 billion people speak Chinese as their first language, English is third down the list, okay? So anyways, you think of this Mandarin or Cantonese, okay, that's very well spoken, okay? So how much of the world's population speaks English as a first or second language, what do you think? What percentage would you say of the world's population speaks English as a first or second language? What's that? I'd say you can learn to speak English and all that.

We know that didn't happen now. We know that she was marked present. So the unit surge didn't actually began for many hours. Why the discrepancy so john. That's absolutely correct and fortunately Their errors made. I air was with specter eyewitness reports three separate soldiers and indicated they had seen finessing and departing the arms room and moving towards a motor pool. Hearing people's are are maintained so the accountability check though was an air. They did not do a fiscal accountability of personnel. The individual that that was responsible for that failed to do the proper gummidge. That was at sixteen hundred. It's everybody thought that specialist vanessa. Dean was present that information at information. A lot of manpower effort a lot of angst and a lot of heartbreak to place because of that. Those mistakes that were made early on was this botched investigation by the us army. No we don't believe so because we were able to find probable cause to link specialist robinson to the disappearance and death as a special ski. The reason the family feels the way they do that. There is no justice is because robinson's dow now dead and they have no answers from him and and that's that's extraordinarily tragic We wish that that was not the case. You have to admit that early on in the investigation that too many mistakes too many blunders then investigation revealed that there were errors that occurred it tugs at our heart. We'll never forget vanessa john. There's a gate named after vanessa at fort hood texas one year ago was the last time arman everyone that pass through that gate. We'll see my sister's name.

"I sat down with then secretary of the army ryan. Mccarthy you visited fort hood and spoke. Candidly very candidly about the disproportionate amount of criminal behavior involving soldiers. There was an alarm bell for us to get an independent panel. We bought experts in investigators lawyers as well as some retired f. b. i. Agents to have an outside. Look what was it like. Leading this investigation leading. This investigation was probably the biggest challenge of my career. We knew that there would be another. Vanessa began at least we believed that there would be if we didn't do our job correctly. They committee found that the criminal. Investigative division detachment workforce was unstable under experienced over assigned under resource. In our estimation the fort hood cit was basically being used as a training ground. Cad made so many mistakes in the mitigation blame. My sister was found the way she was found dismembered and burned like if she was nothing. They could have argued point-by-point all seventy recommendations and all nine findings they did not and they stood there and said we're going to accept all seventy recommendations and we're gonna get on this. Many were very quickly implemented for example. The missing person protocol for soldiers awol absent without leave. We have procedures in place now to to identify whether that soldiers absences. His involuntary or voluntary. The findings of the committee identified a command. Climate at fort hood that was permissive of sexual harassment and sexual assault. It was somehow tolerated. it was. They wanted to be combat ready. That was the primary mission. Anything else was a distraction. One of the things that the soldiers at fort hood many of them needed was to be believed and that was what we did. We believe evil as the army taken actions to hold people accountable for what happened. The army has taken strong. Action to hold people accountable. In fact i think even beyond what we recommend tweeting punishments at fort hood in texas fourteen senior army officers and enlisted personnel fired or it sharp is the army's sexual harassment and assault response and prevention program and that report basically finds that. It's not doing enough. We've recently implemented some changes to address investigations at me deal with sexual assault sexual restaurant. Uh having vanessa gained bill passed. Well all our all our soldiers to know that they are safe and they could trust the system they can come forward. One of the biggest performs this proposed legislation would do is move investigations into sexual harassment and assault outside of the military chain of command and put them in the hands of an outside prosecutor. The family wants this piece of legislation passed in vanessa's name and it is expected to come up for a full vote on the house for some time this summer. I thank you for helping us all. Keep our promise. We made a year ago to the family that we would have legislation and it would make a difference. It's one of the biggest military forms in history and it's so important because the help my sister never obtain it will bring the boys. My sister never had with the family still searching for answers. The army shows up at the gone home with a promise. They don't keep you wanted to late. Just punch the wall because they call my family liars. The army releasing highly anticipated report regarding the death of key and today late april after months and months of waiting the command investigation that looked into how leaders handled. Vanessa's case is finally released. But before it was released. General john murray went to the family's home general murray told the that he will bring the investigation. The aarp's to our home and how someone read it off in spanish for murder. He promised that to my mother but the family says when the report was released instead of a personal visit this time all they got was an email. They only call us. And tell us like we're gonna send via email so i'm like bat. Promised didn't happen and there was no press conference either. The findings were simply released to the media during a conference call. You're not happy with his command investigative report for so. I can the hannukah. Your dishes was a mischievous. You're seen the report. Two hundred seventy one pages. I wanted to punch all because they called. My family myers because this is the beginning. Like hey was being sexually harassed at fort hood major general. Jean lebov helped oversee the command investigation. The gantt family has maintained all along. That vanessa was sexually harassed.

That soldier was not specials. Robinson though were you there. If you don't have any video footage how do you know. He did. Not sexually harassed. Then how can you make that argument. I'll you know that. She wasn't sexually harassed right then and there before she was killed. We don't know that for certain. Investigators say she was sexually harassed by a supervisor at fort hood. This individual was was somebody that was in at the time of those incidents and specialist gins chain of command. One of her one verse appearances. It's inexcusable kinda. Wear what was going on. She just told us on controversy was being wrong. This individual there were proposals to have a threesome. There were al qaeda keeping incidents where she was doing field bath and someone was was watching her astonished that they had so much information and details. The only sad part was because they were protecting identities. The names of the perpetrators can't release his name. We can't release his name for the matter of privacy that individuals being held accountable in all twenty one army leaders have been disciplined as a result of both the review and command investigation. Eleven of those twenty one have been removed from from their positions permanently so robinson keep did not sexually harass religious. Play that part would then. Why the heck would he bludgeoned her to death. You'll love for commit joseph cream. Can you try to get even further as to why this was committed. Why why just why. We thought that after this exhaustive investigation we would find out the motive for vanessa's brutal murder. How can the army have no idea. That's that's exactly what we're trying to find. Now we still seek additional information and the ultimate truth of why this happened. And.

In some of our anchor stores are thinking about leaving. Just got to end this this lease but they're they're they're good guys they they've done business all over the city of charlotte. They're wonderful now johnny bite. We've got to end it now. Just just tell them to get out by april the first and then you seem like a dam only airport for months now a good month a good strong thirty some days plus so this was done in my opinion to block other black businesses from setting up shop as southpark mall fear of a black planet dislike public resented. It s my thoughts. Those are my thoughts. Just my thoughts. Who are going to get an update from damian and jermaine what the conversation is now since charlotte observer has made some comments. They did store. I think channel nine did a story and of course we were the first to come out. And i have some content on the situation with south park mall with damien germain and we wish them nothing but the best but now it is time for us as black people to realize that the power is with us and damian and jemaine made some statements about to gather as a black community and building our own area as beautiful as south park with our black business owners and black community coming together. It's time now. Louis man and you know ed. Don't even take a lot man. Bright chase a lot and then we start. You know you've got your entrepreneurs and then you got your corporate right thing. Bj i talked on this before man. These five important lanes right to decide where they're gonna get in our. Actually we got. We got corporate got entrepreneurs. We got our living at the lane so that's number. Three number four is education is education. Okay we got the academia lane and then the last one at the overnight so the people in the city of the people that you know the ground the workers. I call them the overnight man. He's five lane man. If i can get five lanes in each people to understand each lane what are we talking about economically tam. We could do that thing. Man man on the ball. You need the money going to education. Only the prayers go need the workers and you need to entrepreneurs to make the thing happening can get game together man. Listen put up with all due respect you. Two are the people that i think. The brothers and sisters will follow. You know what. I'm saying because y'all you proven that you you know what you're doing you know what i'm saying and y'all a good people man so i just think this is your legacy in charlotte is to just like you had hugh mccollum And the The city fathers who architect and built charlotte i think. Youtube are the cornerstone of building black. Charlotte never say that to you. Now and say that t t when i look at y'all those two brothers right there are the key to building black charlotte wealth and i thank.

"Hi matthew welcome to twenty minutes fitness. Thanks for inviting me. Yeah it's awesome on this show. We we haven't had really much of anyone in a fitness equipment. Industry on the podcast. So unexcited about that. Especially since you at the forefront you know off of fitness equipment company that has been working with jim's for now over twenty years so put today's show. I'd like to talk a little bit. About how fitness equipment and gyms have evolved over time and hopefully also provide some tips to our listeners about potentially building or maybe even improving their own home gym setup. But i quickly please share a few words about yourself and tell us what escape fitness is about. Yes sure <hes>. I <hes>. I started the company about twenty one years ago in in the united kingdom. That's where we originally started. So i was just sort of a young body. Voter competes until about twenty one years old. So i i always had this. I think i'll go fitness bug from from probably fifteen years old so i just seeing people around me friends and relatives that were lifting weights at the time. I think that's probably what inspired me. And i i sort of left. School didn't particularly do well at school and <hes>. Sort of drifted around. I like to work. But i didn't like people telling me what to do so i <hes>. When when i go it says it on my mid twenties <hes>. Mike my father. And i were chatting one day and he. He's an engineer. He's he's families from poland and we we were talking about things to do he was. He was looking for a bit of a change in his career. And as we said. Well let's let's go out and look for something can if we find something that's get back together and see where we can take it so i was. I was passionate about fitness. My father was was engineer. Had a belief about manufacturing in poland <hes>. Because he felt that was going to be a good central european manufacturing base and going back probably twenty five years now before that that happened. And yeah i came up with an idea about making a dumbbell a white play. I took it to my father asked him if he could find any factories or any connections with imprudent that would make them because <hes>. At the time in my gym anyway. The white stretchy being imported from poland saw. I gave him challenge to see. See what you can find and we <hes>. You know it's a very very long story short. He managed to find a company. We started importing dumbbells and white plates and and that was restarted from spare bedroom in in his house at the time just with with a couple of us we had no money and it was. It was a bit of time. Thank to where we are today. Where we we. We're in sort of over rights. He countries around the world. We have a direct correlation in in america germany the united kingdom and then we have distributions in other countries. So we've i guess we've come a long way in that in that period and without going too much into detail can just briefly tell us what sorts of products and services you sell. It is fitness now. So we we focus so much on functional training and so what what is h. I'm not sure the type of listener whether they big jim goes or not. They've got into them. In the traditional jamil machines you'll have your cardio and then you'll have functional training or free lights and we focus on that functional movement. That's something. I believe. The in from. When i was training many years ago and i still believe in today. So we design everything from free weights racks kettlebells while bulgarian bags bands tubes <hes>. All kind of items. That you would use if you if you went to what i would try to. It's to kind of stuff that the train is. Generally use. Klein's yes or no machines no smith's machines or anything like that right all-natural movement grade and you sell primarily to gyms or is it also something that the consumers themselves combined from you. How does that look. Yeah well up until this crazy pandemic us we we we with most of the major health club chains around the wealth aso from central europe asia united states many of the brands that you would say on the high street we would. We would. What with on some level we also in education so what with schools colleges universities that said that's another sector that we went with <hes>. We do quite a bit in hospitality hard house and then we also have a consumer area which is growing sunny over the last six months <hes>. Because i main coal businesses really working with jim so will go into a traditional big box. Gym will help design. The space will put the flooring down. We'll provide the equipment will provide education for the training. So we'll show them how to use training source so that they can use that with their clients and simul recently. We've been providing those products into the home and <hes>. Slot <unk> education <hes>. So we don't actually take someone said to what with the client with just showing a lot of people are working from home. How to do those exercises but you know fundamentals. The still still very similar got

"Hi chris welcome to twenty minutes it s. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah can you start off by telling us a little bit more about your background. And what aesthetic. Greens is about sure muslims. Chris i'm originally from new zealand. Which left me with the monica north. America of chris deke end. I am the proud founder and ceo of a company called athletic greens. This company was originally formed out of a search for a solution to my own problem. Which was that. I wasn't absorbing neutrons properly. And i ended up basically going on a journey to sort of addressing health problems that led to a clinic in phoenix spending a ton of money doing every blood stool saliva test. You can possibly imagine to have a group very smart people. Tell me that look <hes>. You just don't appear to be absorbing nutrients properly which was a shock to me. Because up until that time. I thought i'd been doing pretty much everything right as it related to. How approach health nutrition and how it approach supplementation and sort of led me to the drawing board to think through an rethink through everything. I thought i knew about nutrition and health and everything else so long story short. I'm customer number. One of what has become a very popular way of removing the fiction from covering nutritional basis every day without cornerstone product grains which. I'm excited to be a part of and we've of lawrence two thousand nine two thousand ten. The proper film launch early two thousand eleven and since then have gone through fifty directions to continually. Look at how can we deliver what. Wait what we consider to be. Sort of that premium. Bist centralist approach to cover nutritional basis every day. Love it so. Tell me more about why. Your body couldn't absorb nutrients well enough. We'll so i have a background. In health and exercise. I studied sport science degree at open university. Which i dropped out of with two classes to go to stop my first business. I'm an entrepreneur through through and have just kicked this lifelong passion around health and fitness. And i was falling. What's considered the nineteen ten approach which was basically. Look if you do everything right. Non-extendible time the other ten percent meta too much and i'd had a few significant number of sort of respiratory tract fictions over the years and the committed to grow infrequency took that i was taking antibiotics for something three to four times a week. And i think. I had a couple of different <hes>. Forces all collide at once. But at the end of the day i had very few good. Bacteria had a really torn up gi system. And i was eating very significant levels of both protein in a variety of vegetables and supplementing. With what i thought at the time was a great multivitamin and i ended up finding that i was in the eighth to twelfth percentile on a lot of the central bottoms as minerals and even mino- essence. And so when these guys came back from that testing and said hey <unk>. digital's none of them. Why this right. We have some of these minerals in the twelfth percentile <unk>. I was really shocked. And just turn out have all sorts of problems traditionally with the gut and the solution from these guys was to say. Look west put you on a basic limitation diet and they gave me at the time one hundred dollars a day customized my blood bike in st nutrition regime. And like i said. I saw two vessels taking fifty horse stalls a day and i just realized it must be a better way so this way back then led me on this journey to seek out experts on. I never claimed to be the sort of exit decide. Look at what good nutrition really was and start to understand things like what got health what is by ability y generally do you wanna get nutrition nutrients as much as possible from food. What food quality is some of these other dynamics at the lead me on a journey that led to us creding athletic rim. Yeah i mean you believe that you can achieve your best self. without nurturing. Your body with writing attrition right so in your opinion then after you've talked to all those experts what the right nutrition look like for me. I think for every human. There's a couple of different pieces. And i think we all want to cover off most basic nutrient basis an never put out any <unk>. Around sort of supplementation being anything other than a path towards optimization i think food is i and you should always focus on food but in terms of what is great nutrition. My general framework is pretty simple. I think you want to eat to maintain your blood sugar levels and a healthy range. I think you want to eat a diet that for you does not lead to any sort of dynamic where you're very inflammatory environment. And i think you want to eat a sort of respite of metros in total calories that match your lifestyle and where that in line you wanna make sure. You're focused on food quality. Health quality pieces <unk>. Seems to be of looked so often. And his principal or nutrient density and then the other variables around william micronutrients are coming from and the quality of and sort of how much cobb some extra protein. How much fat. That's a lot of those are gonna come down to individual preference potentially and then also just how do you live your life that attrition demands of someone who's on a bike aggressively training for two to france. They're going to be very different from someone. Likes to go for walks every day. And maybe it's the german two or three days a week for
