Darren Beattie Shares His Thoughts on the RESTRICT Act
"Joining us is Darren Beatty. He runs one of the most important websites revolver news. You guys should visit it every day. I certainly do Darren. Welcome back to the program. Darren, I want to talk about Israel. You have a very unique take on that. But first, I just want to get your thoughts on this restrict act that we've been talking about that more Republicans than Democrats are sponsoring. And I just want to remind our audience what Republicans are sponsoring this. John boozman from Arkansas, my crepo from Idaho, Lindsey Graham from South Carolina, Tom tillis from North Carolina chuck grassley from Iowa, Kevin Kramer from North Dakota. Shelley Moore capito from West Virginia, Mitt Romney from Utah. Susan Collins from Maine, Dan Sullivan from Alaska, Jerry Moran from Kansas, Deb Fischer from Nebraska and John thune from South Dakota. Darren, your thoughts on the restrict act. Well, you have a bill that supported by Lindsey Graham, Tom tillis and Mitt Romney. You know you're in for a beauty. The restrict act, what can we say about it? Well, first thing to know is that it's a Trojan horse type Bill. What it's being packaged as is some kind of way to counteract the nefarious foreign communist infused influence of TikTok, which is a natural cell. Everybody can get behind that. But what it actually is, is a Trojan horse. And amounts effectively, I think the best description of it that I've heard is the Patriot Act for the Internet. Even though the marketing is specifically tailored to TikTok, something that we all love to hate, the actual substance of the bill is very vague and it is no way limited to TikTok. It's vaguely constrained to technologies associated with quote unquote foreign adversaries.

Why the RESTRICT Act Is a Sweeping Assault on Americans’ Freedoms
"Have the bill. Here, the restrict act. You guys can all check it out as a citizen. S 6 8 6 for the 118th Congress restrict act. The first sentence to authorize the secretary of commerce to review and prohibit certain transactions between persons in the United States and foreign adversaries for other purposes. Now, mind you, they could pass a very clear and simple piece of legislation targeted that TikTok, but you're trying to tell me the regime is going to pass up this opportunity to create a new Patriot Act. Of course not. This is not about TikTok. This is not about TikTok. This is about being able to usher in a brand new censorship regime. So who's behind this, exactly? Lindsey Graham has his name on the bill. As a co sponsor, John thune, Republican from South Dakota. Fisher from Nebraska, Joe Manchin waste the time. Jerry Moran from Kansas. Sullivan from Alaska, Susan Collins from Maine, of course Mitt Romney, Shelley Moore capito, from West Virginia, introduced the bill. Have they actually read the bill? Are they or is this just rep by, is this composed and basically put together by lobbyists? And if you know how legislation works, you know that K street lawyers, the DHS, lawfare types, working for the alliance of U.S. tech and deep state interests, probably wrote this restrict act. This is a written written by Google and written by Facebook and written by congressional staffers.

Cissie Graham Lynch: Using Biblical Literacy to Fight Culture Wars
"Really is confusion in the culture. And I think this, I don't know, maybe you might find a different approach here, but I think this is an attack on truth. Everybody has their own truth. We talk about that a lot these days, and we really don't talk about the fact that in this country there used to be something called absolute truth, and now everybody's got their own version of things. Absolutely. Truth is relative to the individual now, but as Christians, Jesus Christ, you know, before he was crucified, pontius pilot said before him and asked him what was true. And he stood face to face with truth. You know, we're getting ready to remember what Jesus did on the cross and celebrate Easter coming up. And we as Christians have to know that we stand on truth. And I think what's happened is the church today has become biblically illiterate. So that way when it comes to fighting these cultural awards, we can't stand because we don't know what God's word is. We don't have a biblical worldview. And for those listening, I just want to encourage you to these are tough situations, especially for parents and grandparents raising children that we have to know God's words. We have to know what we believe why we believe it. Scripture says that those who know their God will be able to stand in streets and take action. And right now, all of us need to be standing in strength, we have to be taken action in our communities and our schools, but we have to know God who he is and who his scripture is.

Cissie Graham Lynch: The Impact of Men Playing in Women Sports
"The battle over biological women in sports and whether or not we should be allowing men to play in women's sports and what kind of an impact that's actually having on biological women and sissy, I have to imagine that this is really heartbreaking for a lot of young ladies out there who want to be able to get scholarships and go on and have these professional careers. You know, it is. And it seems like right after we get after one cultural battle and hurdle, we're on to another one. And this seems to be snowballing. We continue to see it every morning when we wake up in the news, another story of men entering the arena of women's sports. But you simply look at the Olympic records for men and women for the last 75 years, you don't need any new scientific research to show the unfairness of men competing in women's sports. They're stealing championships the way they're stealing scholarships and opportunities from women. And I'm raising two little girls and as a parent and I think for parents out there, you know, asking, what should we do in these situations? Us parents, we're going to have to make some tough decisions. And of course, we just saw that happen in Vermont. Where the girls basketball team wasn't going to play against a another team that had a transgender on it. I mean, you think about just protecting our children physically, that's a pretty rough sport, contact sport. Those parents made a decision and it had a, you know, it impacted the whole school.

Republicans Battle Over Their Stance on Ukraine
"As you probably know, a couple of the Republican presidential candidates responded to an inquiry from Tucker Carlson's show, where are you on Ukraine? And Ron DeSantis gave what I thought was a pretty reasonable answer. I'm going to read the entire answer to you because I want you to digest it a little bit. I don't want you to see the headlines or hear the SNP snippets. I mean, and the left and the mainstream media and even establishment Republicans are sort of lashing out. Nikki Haley is challenging Ron DeSantis's belief that indefinitely supporting Ukraine is not in our best interests. She's pushing back against Donald Trump's America first position. Nikki Haley, I think, is all in with Ukraine. Establishment Republicans are all in with Ukraine. They believe that Ukraine helping Ukraine thwart the ongoing assault by Russia is in our national security interests. You got a real interesting showdown between the neocons and the populists. You got to really interesting divide here. Actually is describes it as the GOP's stunning new divide. And somehow the neocons and the establishment Republicans believe that it's earth shattering and disastrous for Ron DeSantis to believe that protecting Ukraine isn't in the vital interest of the U.S., certainly Lindsey Graham has lashed out and the usual suspects who like us intervening in foreign countries affairs are chomping at the bit.
The Breakdown
Was Signature Shut Down to Send an Anti-Crypto Message?
"We are in the thick of it. The last 48 hours have been some of the loudest, most contentious times we've seen since 2008. There have been fierce debates about whether or not to protect depositors at Silicon Valley bank after it was shut down by regulators on Friday, accusations that the venture capital class was fomenting a larger run on small and regional banks just to serve its own purposes. Genuine fear of larger contagion and intense pressure on the federal government to announce action to give small businesses and other depositors confidence that they weren't going to be out of luck based on who they chose to banquet. Out of the combination of it last night, there was finally an announcement about what was to happen with Silicon Valley bank. The TLDR was that the bank depositors would be made whole. The fed would use a fund already paid into by banks to pay for it. IE no taxpayer money, shareholders and management would be wiped out, and on top of all that, a new fed funding facility was being established to try to address the underlying issues. Oh, and also, by the way, signature bank was being shut down as well because of quote unquote systemic risk. Wait, signature bank you say? Wasn't that sort of the last remaining bank servicing crypto companies? The same one that had been under intense pressure for the last few months to stop servicing those that crypto companies had switched over to after silvergate announced a voluntary wind down last week. Yep, that's the one, and wait, you might also say, no other bank was preemptively placed in FDIC receivership before markets even opened? Even others, like first republic that we're facing even more scrutiny from investors, that's correct. It was just the bank servicing crypto customers that was unaligned by the U.S. government. I asked last week whether silvergate was a political assassination. I pointed to the gloating of politicians like Elizabeth Warren and sherrod Brown in the aftermath to the open letters from war and senator Kennedy and others that undermined confidence in silvergate back in December, and I also asked questions about why silver Gates FHLB $4.3 billion loan had been withdrawn so quickly after it was made. Even with all that, the preemptive shutdown of signature bank before there was a true bank run is even more egregious and attack on crypto by a group of regulators who hate it. Matthew Graham wrote this morning, I truly can't believe I'm saying this. I sound like some kind of conspiracy theorist, but I think at this point the preponderance of evidence is that signature bank was primarily an opportunistic anti crypto hit job. More likely more so than not.

Tim Graham: NPR Promotes “The Communist Manifesto” in 2023
"NPR National pubic radio promotes the communist manifesto in 2023 by Tim Graham I listen to this it is unbelievable Absolutely unbelievable He says it's entirely predictable even inevitable that public broadcasting would favor socialism Actually Marxism and all its programming but it's a little more surprising when it openly touts the communist manifesto Since I'm a conservative go out and for punishment he says I was driving on the highway on Sunday morning listening to that national pubic radio distributed program on the media with host Brooke gladstone The brickster A longtime fixture at NPR it's a woman Was predictable when she chatted with socialists and Naomi orchis About their mutual loathing of free market fundamentalism Free market fundamentalism But the next segment was even worse My jaw dropped Gladstone gushed that since 1847 Karl Marx and Frederick engels had offered refuge inspiration and argument So many arguments still she oozed Like Hamlet's ghost the manifestos both in possible and imperative in its call for action Oh they're so poetic Then she introduced British author China Melville Whose 2022 book a specter haunted is she said a non fiction rumination on that stalwart text The communist manifesto is crap Everything marks predicted Is wrong

Sen. Lindsey Graham Grills Merrick Garland on Fentanyl Crisis
"Listen to the attorney general yesterday being grilled by senator Lindsey Graham. Fentanyl, deaths are more than gun and accident deaths combined in the United States. Did you know that? Yes, sir. I mean, this is, how would you describe the fentanyl problem in America? A horrible epidemic. But it's an epidemic that's been unleashed on purpose by the Sinaloa. And the new generation of jalisco cartels. Let's just stop and absorb that for a moment. The so horrible epidemic, it kills more people than car wrecks in gun violence combined, and the question is, what are we going to do about it? Under current law, fentanyl loses its schedule one status by the end of the year. You oppose that I assume. I certainly do. Fentanyl all fentanyl related drugs should be scheduled. It mandatory minimums for people dealing in fentanyl. I think we already have mandatory minimums for people. Do you think they should be increased? I think we have more than enough ability now to attack this problem. Well, would you agree with me whatever we have is not working? Well, we're doing is not working. I agree with that because of the number of deaths that you pointed out. So just keep an open mind that what we got on the books is not working.

What's Your Endgame With Regards to Russia?
"I mean, I listened this morning to a very convoluted exercise. How could you change your mind about Russia or Ukraine? And this is real simple to me. What do the hawks want to do about Russia? Let's make that real simple. We've got two foreign countries. Russia and Ukraine that are in a mess. Russia is deciding to unilaterally bomb the heck out of Ukraine. Destroying innocent lives ruthlessly and brutally attacking a country like Ukraine. The president of Ukraine turns to the United States and says, help us fight back. Help us defend ourselves. Help us help us help us. And we have, I think, pretty much officially sanctioned being on board completely. Where they were all in. What do you need? You need tanks? You need subs? What do you need? You need money? Biden said we're going to pay for Ukrainians pensions this week. We're going to pay a lot of bills. We're going to help you rebuild Ukraine. Well, there's not going to be any rebuilding because it's still in the process of being torn apart, being destroyed. So I got a simple question. I could do an exercise on my show too. To those who say to the Lindsey grahams and the Mitch mcconnells and the Joe Biden's and the Democrats and the establishment Republicans who want to be all in with Ukraine, what's your endgame with regards to Russia?

American Taxpayers: 'Hell No' to Paying for Ukrainian Pensions
"Well, my gut is that they're killing those of us who are working and paying in here in the United States. So if I can say hell no, that's my answer. No, I'm right with you. I'm right there with you. I would echo that. 806 5 5 mic. Here is line four. Here is Marie and Rochester, Minnesota. Your tax dollars paying for Ukrainian pensions. What do you say, Marie? I say that's got to end. If that's not happening, we're not going to work every day to pay for other countries, people. It's happening. We're doing it. This is I'm not asking this question about yes or no and we get to decide Joe Biden is deciding. The Lindsey grahams and the Mitch mcconnells are deciding. We've got a bunch of establishment Republicans who I guess think this is fine.

Matthew Charles and Doug Discuss the Power of the Bible
"Apart from anything else, I can't tell you 'cause, you know, you know, well about me that I'm a rhyme minister, pastor for over 11 years, still an air force chaplain. And I can't tell you how many times I have heard a story that began with, I read, I found a Gideon Bible. Oh, yes, sir. I mean, it is amazing. And I hear so many times, you know, the gideons who do such a great work, you know, they used to and again, I think we've lost so much in our society when they can't hand out voluntarily handout scripture to 5th writers. Remember that? And but it's interesting. In list explore this because this is a podcast where look, people know that I'm my faith and they're going to hear about faith and they want to call me and email me. I'll talk to them about it. But talk about that for a second. It ended up on a side note here. The power of the bi, just the Bible. You didn't have it, you didn't have Billy Graham sitting in the room with you. I mean, you had a Bible. And that was it, correct? Yes, sir. And the product part of it is I've never even seen the guy that gave it to me with one or him even open it up and read it. So I didn't even know it was in the possessions along with the toothpaste soap and deodorant and a couple, you know, soups and snacks that he could give him because I had never seen it. But when he rolled it up and gave it to me on like a towel and I took it over to myself and I opened it, it was actually in there. But I had never seen him with the one we never discussed. Anything. So it was just the time. It is amazing. I mean, we talk about, you know, from a fight perspective, you talk about the power of the word of God that he goes forth and it does not ever return void. That scripture just speaks to me. And intimidates me in a way too because it's a reminder that God is working in our society even when we have no clue of how he's doing it.

Sebastian Gorka: "Russia Is Doing What It Always Does"
"Way to start is the floor is yours. Tell us your opinion. Your stance on what's happening in Ukraine and how we should think about it. Right, so I don't want to disappoint you, but I'm not of the Lindsey Graham, you know, let's start World War three variety of people when it comes to Ukraine. But for those who are not familiar with my background, I served as former strategist in The White House to president Trump. I am a legal immigrant to the United States, but my parents lived under a communist dictatorship. My father was actually betrayed by Kim philby, one of the west's greatest double agents arrested and tortured at the age of 20 and given a life sentence in a communist political prison. He was liberated by freedom loving revolutionaries in 1956 and escaped to the west. So that's my perspective. That's what I bring to the table. But irrespective of that. Let me be clear. Russia has not been provoked into a war, a Russia hasn't been surrounded by NATO and has deployed to save ethnic Russians and destroy bioweapons labs. Russia has been doing what it has always done, whether it was under the tsars, whether it was the Soviet Union or under a neophyte czar, and that is, of course, Vladimir Putin. This is the aggrandizing territorially of the Russian Federation from a man who, by the way, is a former KGB colonel, and I remember the good old days as a child of the Cold War, when all conservatives hated all KGB colonels, the idea that he is some champion for the west standing up against globalists is utterly asinine. This is a man who persecuted Christians. This is a man who is creating his own globalism, but under the Fiat of the Kremlin. And let's be clear here. Russia is doing what it always does. Violence against civilians to create large amounts of Russian territory. And for the record

Classical Liberalism vs. Libertarianism With Jason Pye
"Said a buzzword earlier that I was trying to get a word in, but you mentioned the term classical liberal. And that's largely how I identify my philosophical views these days is classical liberal, which is not modern liberalism, is actually more in tune and more in line with what the founding fathers believe and so I would refer to myself as a classical liberal. We don't have everybody heading to Wikipedia on this. Yes, we are. But no, but which the modern day, the classical liberal and libertarian have been somewhat intertwined. I am not, I am no longer a member of the Libertarian Party. For precisely this reason. And it's because the Libertarian Party does not take itself seriously. And I'll get to just give me one to indulge me for a second here. Okay. There are two very good liberty libertarian candidates who are running. And if I were still a registered voter in Georgia, I would vote for them. And one of those is Chase Oliver, who is the nominee for U.S. Senate. And the other one's Ryan Graham, who's running full lieutenant governor. Both very good guys, both very smart guys who are talking about issues from a classical liberal libertarian perspective that I tend to agree with. Shane hazel should not be in this race. If he had any dignity, he would drop out. And the reason reason for that is is precisely what the things you said. He's belligerent. He says random stuff. He is not a serious candidate if his goal is to throw this into a runoff, then why are you running? And you're right. It's going to cost taxpayers in Georgia millions of dollars statewide. Because in these counties, some of these small counties who are already facing budget crunches are going to have to find the money to do a runoff. And this is fundamentally my issue with libertarian candidates. They don't run to when they don't, and because they can't win. And

Eric Shares His Thoughts on QAnon
"Eric, I love to listen to you. I admire your courage and tenacity on so many issues of our day. I'm thankful to know of you. I know the horror of child trafficking exists. But what about the story we hear that sound like QAnon? I'm of the opinion that Q is organized misinformation, opinion, largely based on the accusations against Billy Graham that I've read through Q what is your take on Q and Isaac cappy. I just finished watching the documentary these little ones by Stu Peters. The reason I ask you is because I fully trust your passion to find the truth about these difficult topics. May God continue to grace you and work with you and as you honor him. Well, my opinion of Q is a non opinion I've heard enough from Q that sounds wrong to have a skeptical view of Q and not to take Q particularly seriously. It does strike me that it is highly likely that Q is a deep state thing and others that some people in the deep state, the same people that created the fantasy that January 6th was an insurrection or that encouraged people to come into the capitol. I think that there are very, very, very bad actors in some of the agencies, whether it's the CIA or others or state who would love to create a conspiracy theorist theory just to gaslight people who are susceptible to them. And the reason I say this in part is that things that I know that are true that have nothing to do with Q are so bad that you don't need to believe that there are lizard people or that Hillary Clinton was hanged at Guantanamo Bay a month ago or that Joe Biden has a double. Even if those things were true, there's so much stuff that I know is true. That to go there, I think, is to get sucked down a rabbit trail that is unworthy of our time.

Maybe This Is Not a Good Idea...
"The American ruling class ever say, hold on, maybe this is not a good idea. And no, because if you know anything about how the American ruling class operates is that they operate with hyper aggression, never apologizing or admitting a failure ever. And it's always your fault. Always your fault. It's the middle Americans fall. It's your fault that your jobs got shopped shipped overseas to China. It's your fault that you didn't take the vaccine. It's your, it's always the American people's fault. And so I took a step back and I don't trust the people in charge, nor should you after the last couple of years. And I certainly don't trust the very same American foreign policy establishment that was unable to have success in Libya in Syria in Iraq in Afghanistan in every theater they engage in themselves. And in fact, I think they're getting us closer to a state of permanent conflict with, again, let me repeat this. Putin is not a good person. I don't think highly of him. I think that he should be condemned for his actions. But sometimes in geopolitics, you have to be willing to have temporary partnerships against the greater evil. And the greater evil is not a little bit it's by far the CCP's conquest of the western world and the modern world. So while the CCP is dumping fentanyl into our schools, spying on your kids via TikTok, dumping steel and solar panels involved in high sophisticated technological war, we're worried about a 800 year family dispute over an arbitrary border 5000 miles away because Lindsey Graham tells us, I'm sorry, pal, you've been wrong about everything the last 20 years. I don't care the
The School of Greatness
"graham " Discussed on The School of Greatness
"People who will just waste your time and pretend to be buyers, I had this dude. And I was so naive and looking back, it was an idiot. You walked into the open house. And told me that he was in the market for like 25 to $50 million homes. you know, representing himself in such a way where he could afford these houses. And nor would a guy of that caliber realistically trust in 18 year old kid who's like brand new to show. Yeah, show me 50. Chances are they have business managers. They don't even show up to the houses first. They have assistants do it first, and then they have people vet it and then they show up and they're very discreet. This guy was very flashy about like, oh yeah, I did this and my company does that like talking about I had no idea. So I'm sitting there showing him houses. And every agent is looking at me like, is this guy prequalified? Blah, blah, blah, I'm like, oh yeah, he's good. Idiot. And I remember one agent. I would consider her like not a mentor, but she really took me under her wing. And she had a listing, and she's like, bring them to my listing, and I don't feel them out for you. And she was there anyway. And so he came there, and she started asking him questions about his proof of funds. Literally goes into his car in his trunk and pulls out papers and hands it to her, and she's like, this is a proof of fun. It was like a word document the guy just printed out. Saying, like, X amount company blanked this, this and afterwards she felt like this guy is fake. He's not real. He's not a real buyer. And then but you'd already spent 20 listings showing him 20 listings. Yeah, but then you also ruin your name in the process of like any time you bring a buyer by these agents remember that. They know, oh, this is Graham. He's the kid who brought by this really bad buyer. He wasted my time. I spent an hour setting up this house, and like their time is valuable. My time, I got nothing to lose.

Hello, I'm Minnie Driver. Welcome to the mini questions season two. I've always loved priests questionnaire. It was originally a 19th century parlor game where players would ask each other 35 questions aimed at revealing the other player's true nature. It's just the scientific method really in asking different people the same set of questions. You can make observations about which truths appear to be universal. I love this discipline and it made me wonder, what if these questions were just the jumping off point? What greater depths would be revealed if I asked these questions as conversation starters with thought leaders and trailblazers across all these different disciplines. So I adapted Proust questionnaire and I wrote my own 7 questions that I personally think are pertinent to a person's story. They are. When and where were you happiest? What is the quality you like least about yourself? What relationship real or fictionalised defines love for you? What question would you most like answered? What person place or experience has shaped you the most? What would be your last meal? And can you tell me something in your life that's grown out of a personal disaster? And I've gathered a group of really remarkable people, ones that I am honored and humbled to have had the chance to engage with. You may not hear their answers to all 7 of these questions. We've whittled it down to which questions felt closest to their experience or the most surprising or created the most fertile ground to connect. My guest today is the polymorphous wonder that is Graham Norton. Graham is perhaps best known for his chat show the Graham Norton show. For the 8 books he has written for the radio shows he presents in the UK and on and on and on because the thing for me that makes him so known is this extraordinary wit and spirit that just runs through every single thing he does. I can't tell you how many times I've been on his show over the years, but it's quite a few and I will tell you that chapters can really be a bit uphill. But I long to go on his show because I have never laughed so much in my life. After you've listened to this episode of my podcast, please just Google funny race horse names, the Graham Norton show, and you will see me genuinely crying with laughter at the hands of a merciless Graham. It's quite hard to become a national treasure in the UK, but Graham is one, and everyone knows it. I always feel better for having talked to him and this interview right now proved to be no different at all. Where and when were you happiest? I do know this, but I always kind of think I remember when I was a kid, there was a peanuts cartoon. I loved peanuts when I was a kid. But it's kind of weirdly deep for kids. I think it's Charlie Brown and Lucy, maybe talking, trying to balance someone else talking, somebody saying, you know, in every life, one day will be happier than all the other days. On the other little child is going yes. And then the first child goes, what if you've had it? And as a child, you know, that sort of blew me away. Because that's just seemed the saddest thing in the world that if you're 11 and you've had your happiest day, the rest of your life is lived out not as good as that. So I think you've got to live your life assuming your happiest days to come. I think that's very smart. Oh my God, it's so existential peanuts, isn't it? Yeah. That is so deep for a little children's cartoon. And it hit me to my core. That just seemed like meaning of life level of revelation. Happiest day might have happened. The answer to your question is I had a wedding weekend this summer in Ireland. Your wedding. My wedding. Yes, my wedding. We got married already, but we had this weekend. And you know, there were party planners and there was this going to happen. This is going to happen. People were flying in. But of course, then the airports were all messed up, COVID was still around. You know, I picked these party planners basically out of the phonebook. So they're telling me, oh yeah, we'll do this and you're thinking, I hope you do, because I have no idea. Anyway, the weekend could not have gone better. We got amazing weather. The moment I was happiest was with my husband just as the party was drawing to the close, on the Sunday. Where we were surrounded by our friends still, it was a beautiful night, the lights were all in the trees, the music was playing. And it was just, I didn't need to worry about how the whole weekend was going to go anymore. I didn't need to worry about the catering or the performers or the weather or people getting there. In that little, probably 15 minutes at the end. I could just be happy. In that little tail end of all the anxiousness and the planning, I felt supremely content and loved and loving and all those good things. And all the anxiety and the worry actually qualifies and probably has a huge amount to do with how happy

"The next day? Before you go to the chair, do you take any kind of like spark energy drink or anything like that? Absolutely not. Absolutely. So you just go in a whole foods diet. I just don't eat processed foods and I eat a lot of protein. And it's people look at my diet. It's very normal and basic. It's just nothing really crazy. I literally make the same things every week. And I'm fine by that, 'cause it's healthy and nutritious, food is fuel. So I go to the gym and then I shower and I also like to get primal hours is what I call them. So I walk outside barefoot. And then I go for usually a walker around in the sun because I think being in sunshine and getting that every single morning is so good. My day is unique because I'm self employed, so I have my nonprofit where I interview people from communist countries. I run my wood shop, which is like a little flag business, wooden flags. And then I do my own personal media commentary. So fitting all those into the day is really every day looks different, but it's always just making sure that everything's being maintained and filmed and submitted to Zach because Zach's actually my editor. So with that, it's like fitting that all into the day is nice. I'm trying to make a better effort, Graham maybe you can relate to this of having more balance and ending the day at a healthy time instead of like I could just keep going because I'm self employed. So I don't know when to start in that cutoff point. So now I'm cutting myself off. I have a healthy dinner and then I try and go to bed. I actually just bought a TV. I've never had a TV, so I literally just do my day and then make my food and then I end up crashing and now I have a TV and I'm trying to like treat myself to watching stuff. I feel like a true documentary to kill the TV. I'm telling you. What's your show you're watching right now? Westworld? Westworld. It's all right. It's all right. But again, I'm like, I'm trying to get it. I don't like watching, I can't stand it. And so I'm like, maybe I'm just not a TV watcher. But my own one. You should watch because you're interested in people's psychology or psyche and how they think and all this stuff. You should watch mindhunters. And the whole show, it's on Netflix. It's about the formation of the BAU in the FBI, the behavior, whatever things, and it's about the guy who literally went around interviewing these psychopaths. These serial killers in prison so they could start figuring out how to profile serial killers. It's actually very is it on Netflix? Yeah, yeah, mine hunters. That's what it's called. And so that didn't exist until the late 70s, early 80s, right? Because that was the decades of the serial killer. And that started the BAU and the FBI were now we have profilers and people can, you know, based off of what people do, they can be like, you're looking for this kind of person.

"Has to help when you get an opportunity like riding snap decision, I guess. Yes, snap is definitely a horse that likes to travel. You know, he doesn't he's a gutsy hard. He tries very hard. So when you get stuck into him, you know, he's already giving you a 110%, so he's definitely harsh that likes to sit and travel and jumps a lot better when you're keeping a whole of them, you know, riding with plenty of leg and keep your hands as quiet as possible. He's definitely a horse that likes to do that. Did you ever get an opportunity to ride a horse like snap decision in Europe or that he's the best you've ever been? He's a different type of horse. I've never good harsh that I've had in my career was a formal chaser. I mean, I've only ridden two big winners in the UK when was the either chase, it's a foreign a quarter mile chase with 28 phases in February. It's bartlet ground. I think it took like 9 minutes, you know, and different type of harsh, slow, like I said, portion of the tree mile. My order biggest winner was the summer culprit you talked to, which is one of the biggest jump races in the summertime in the UK and again that's four my one and the horse I won on that was a dropout Joe. He ended up going on to the ancient grand national the following season and again, that was like 25 fences, you know, I never had a horse like snap that, you know, a sharp two mile or two and a quarter mile harder and a traveling jump, you know, but he's a different experience. And for the anticipate question of the day, who is your biggest fan in your career now or growing up or in your career who's been your biggest fan? I don't really want to say because I'm riding against him tomorrow. It's Davey Russell. He's one of those guys, it was just a funny scenario for me where I came to America and kind of forgot about him. I always idolized him always loved him and he's an absolute gentleman as well. He's one of those guys that those interviews says whatever is on his mind, a big controversial, but then when you meet him, he's the exact same person. But I remember idolizing a whole career and then kind of forgetting about him a little bit when it came to America because the style was a little bit different. And then he came to fire hills, and I remember going down to the first hurdle and he was on my insight and just looking across and just kind of getting this flashback of how good was he, you know? And he's definitely a writer. I've always idolized. Yeah, he's one of the great semis so quiet, so patient, that empathetic, unbelievable style when you see you can go through a race watch out and you kind of pick out Davey Russell and judge the race on where he is in the race as far as the pace goes. Yeah, definitely. I mean, look, I've been obviously studying chosen mates form all week and looking at him when he went on and the rehearsal chase and 2020 od runners at two miles owns very, very sharp and to see how much he has in a hard sitting sitting four for 50 last and traveling still 9 or ten coming down the hill and you know, instead of four or 5th jump in a second last, you know, and just a very, very cool rider. He always knows how much he has underneath him. You know, very, very clever guy as well. He's been through a lot through a lot in his career in terms of he had the number one job for gigging town and he lost it and, you know, he didn't. He didn't show the toys out the pram. He kind of kept plugging away and ended up winning all the big races for gigging down even though Ryan Cooper was choosing the wrong horse and he said, you know, there's a lot of things like that, I always look to him and in his career and take a lot away from it. And I think you can apply that to any sport. What was his line? Don't get bitter, get better. Exactly. That's Graham water's I'll tell you what, if you went to for me tomorrow I'll be your biggest fan. I'll be trying, don't worry. That's grand.

"Head of folks here. Contacts is shown talking to ruth graham. The book is transforming transforming loneliness deepening. Our relationship with god and others when we feel alone ruth. It is an amazing thing. You said that forty seven percent of people polled said that they were lonely. That's is an astonishing amount. Really sure that that's accurate. I think it's higher than that because people are ashamed to tell people they're lonely and there. There's some sort of stigma they feel to that so. I'm not sure that that's accurate. I think is probably higher than that. Which is really sad. Well look there's no question that the simple answer to this is to forge relationship with the lord and you're never alone if you're alone you're alone with the lord and you can talk to him and that's a beautiful thing but part of the epidemic of loneliness has to do. I think with what's happened to the culture. Social media is only the sort of most recent iteration of trend where where people have had the convenience more and more to avoid having to mix with a with other people. You can have everything right there. You can have your tv and your computer and and in a way it's a blessing until it becomes Sad and i just feel like we've built a world where it's just you. You don't have as much community happening. I mean the church of course is one place but there used to be a lot of that in american life and we have much less of that we do. And that's that's a shame and said but we can build our own community you know. We don't have to just let the culture you know decide for us what we're going to do. We can build our community. We can joining a church. We can join a book club. We can join any sort of group to be Connected with other people. But that's the choice that we make. And i often use. My mother is illustrating. Most people would not have thought that my mother was lonely but my mother was lonely She was a woman who was on the public stage and she couldn't don't anybody and share her heart because it might be on the front page the next day so she was very alone in. She made choices. she made. Choi the that christ would be her center. That christ would be her purpose. That christ would be. Her confidante and mother gave her life to christ and he transformed her loneliness. And as i travel around the country even now i run into people who were him her sunday school class in the seventies and they tell me what an impact she had on their life. She she was allowed the lord to transform her loneliness into touching other people's lives and we can do the same thing. It's an amazing thing you you grew up in extraordinary family but i imagine growing up in that family. It's it's a it's just a family for good and for ill just like most families are and i think a lot of people would think. Oh my goodness child of billy graham. What a magical existence you have talked about this to me and you've talked about this publicly that it wasn't a magical existence. It had a downside dysfunctional. Just like everybody else but when you have a father who travels that much. You're going to find some dysfunction in the family. And certainly that was dysfunction in my of my life in the family life but you know god is faithful to us and i'm not going to be critical of my mother or my father. They were unique people for unique time for unique purpose and i know people upset them up examples. They are not examples. They're exceptions. And i think that mother and daddy were so faithful to god and we're such wonderful examples to us as children and i'm very grateful for the family that did have as dysfunctional as it was. It's funny though. Isn't it when you become a parent You have a lot more grace for your own parents because you realize that nobody gets this right. Whoever's apparent is apparent for the first time You you just do your best and then you kind of repent and you know acknowledge your fault. But now it's too late because the kids are grown up. I mean it's an amazing thing that every generation has to go through that. And i'm sure that you know as a in some ways magical and extraordinary as your parents where they they were just people doing the best. They could And then you have to pick up the pieces in your own life and then you have to make sure you don't pass on those problems as you raise your kids and so it's not. It's not easy is it. it's not easy. Being a parent is a very difficult job. And it's a time job in even found out now. My children are grown. That it's even harder now two grown children but i am just grateful for example that mother daddy gave me but my children have been such a blessing to me and they have been with me through the ups and downs and The they live in my neighborhood My sons-in-law want to live near me. And i thought what a blessing that is that my sons-in-law would choose to live next to their other law so we have a wonderful town and during the pandemic. We had let sunday lunch every sunday. So that cure my loneliness that is that is so wonderful so you you live alone as you say but have family around you which seems a pretty wonderful It makes it a lot easier. If they're not you know a plane ride away What do you do when when you're alone do you do. You read much. What books do you read. I'm always curious what people read or whether they read if they have a place to do that in their lives. Read loved blow mysteries of good. Who done it but right now. I'm reading philippians. New book His life story. Where the light. When like phil and very excited to redraft and read your books so it some might mother was a good example. Bet she always on her side table.

Show talking to my friend pastor jack graham prestwood baptist right here in the dallas area Wait what part of the dallas area dallas area doubts area. No but your churches specifically in plano plano. What and prosper. So you have multiple campuses saying that. Publicly is pride. I condemn you okay. So the suppressing the book is the book has reignite. Actually i wanna say this too. Because i don't know if i've ever said this on the air there are times when i've been so depressed i cannot read the bible cannot pray and god has allowed me eventually to get to a place where i realize even there. He loves me. This and i remember reading. You know richard form brand. He wrote a book called tortured. Christ he went through living hell in communist prisons and stuff and he talked about being so debilitated that he couldn't pray he couldn't do. This was just because of what he'd been through but he said i would just inside be thinking i love you. Jesus i love you. Jesus in other words even when you can do nothing mentally you can battle this just by saying what is true and that can be a powerful weapon so even if you don't feel what is true because when you're depressing feel truth you feel these lies but your brain still knows no matter how i feel. Jesus loves meat. Nothing can can mess with that. My emotions mean nothing compared to that truth and my emotions can lie to me. But if i could just lie here and say jesus i love you. Jesus you love me. if that's all you can do. That is powerful. You don't need to be you know a rare work getting up at six. Am and hitting your knees and it because sometimes you cannot do that and if you literally. If you can't do that you need to know. Not only is that okay. That's okay with god and get people who you trust to be on your team to pray for you and people that love you who thank god for deb grey. I'm me. She walked with me through this and she'd never seen this in may of any dumped her for a younger wife. Didn't you know not at all is definitely she's beautiful and i would we just past fifty one years of marriage. You guys listen. Praise god right. We're at a point where we should say this. You know having someone by your side. Who loves jesus. And who's i mean. There's no substitute for that and i. It's sometimes the simple things you know when when for me. I don't know how others field. But i kept saying to death and my closest friend am i gonna be okay because that whole thing is no your broken. You're you're totally and completely broken. You're never gonna get well. And i would say am i gonna be okay and just to hear somebody who loves you. Say you're gonna be okay. you're going to make. It was very very important as you know. I wrote a biography of luther preached about him in your a little bit about depression and bring him up. Because i remember him and this is so cool right away when he was going through hell and i think he had anxiety and depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. I'm not even kidding. I think he had that stuff. It would attack him viciously and to say it's a satanic attack. Yes it is. But it's a combination of things and we don't know but he would have people pray for him and he would say and this is brilliant. Their faith was enough for me in other words. God is so gracious that that even if you have no faith you're just dead and you get people to pray for you. God response to that. It's not like oh it's on you. It's on you it's on you. People can pray for you and that can just magically lift you out of things or at least be a comfort to you intellectually that god is. God is with me through their prayers. Even if i don't have the ability to believe anything right now. I'm just here exactly and in in the book Move from this story. Sixty pages About this story. And how. I got through that too talking about enduring faith and so. The bulk of the book is is about enduring times. Tough when when whether you're depressed or whatever mental or spiritual anguish may be facing we all suffer. We know that. And so. I talk about a lot of basics. And how over the years. I've learned that you can trust god. In every season of life including seasons of suffering and the god of all comfort the bible says comforts us and with the comfort that we are comforted. We comfort others. I remember going into the pulpit. Very quickly when i could barely get up there to speak so i just took promises of god that i've memorized and i just you know scribble some notes and talked about the various promises of god each week and i thought these are really terrible sermons because i could barely concentrate to prepare and when we put those on television and radio later they became the number one requested sermon series on those promises when i was so weak when i could barely crawl up there and preach the number one thing i. It's that truth that when we're we got strong and in our weakness is sent our broken ness that we're built back stronger than ever. That's why call it reignite. Well reignite is the book jet. Graham is the author pastor friend. Jackie the scripture that. I remember when i am really the most down the one scripture that i remember and i feel like i can't think of anyone that's been more important for me but where it says all things work together for good for those that loved the lord and are called according his purposes all things depression debilitate in other words. No matter what you're going through we have a god who is able to take the worst thing in your life and to work together for good standing on that. Promise it just. There's nothing else that you could say. I'm lying here. I don't know if i'm going to get better and you know. Even that doesn't matter because god says all things work together for good. It's just an amazing thing that god put someplace in scripture very clearly that so that every single thing there is including the worst thing you go through works together for good for those i love him and that's a comfort and what you just said you know you comfort those because you've been through this now you can sit here at this microphone with this book and minister to people. You would not be able to do that. The lord is using you because you allowed him to take you through that season and that is our prayer the other scripture that you know i i really want people to hear because some people may be watching listening to this right now who are just hanging by threat and you're wondering year believing some of those lies you're gonna be stuck.

"Six months to a year to get through this and again you know my personality. I'm going no no. I'm jack grandma. Don and a couple of weeks. And i just couldn't pull myself up. That was the craziest thing. I've never been able to pull myself up and to get going. And i felt like a dead man walking now. The funny thing is now. I'm assuming there are people listening to this program who have struggled some kind of depression so many people have and the problem is you know it's not like i lost a finger. Look there's no way to show anybody what it is. There's no no way even to know yourself. Is this depression or is this some new kind of reality. Is this reality. And so when it hits you even responding to it. I mean again if somebody stabs you you don't say well who knows. Maybe that's just something my body is doing. You know like okay. I need to get stitches. I need to get to a doctor. But depression is so insidious the a lot of times you kind of think. Well maybe i need to just pray harder or maybe do and then guilt can come in where you're beating yourself up. What is wrong with me. And i don't want to tell anybody because they're gonna see right through me that this is this is baloney this is not a particularly insidious and so you just to get to the physical peace now. So so you were you. Having some kind of treatments was was there. Any physical component as this happened or was this after. All that happened was where were you in terms of your physical health when you went into this season. Okay so the fiscal health was was good. Though there was you know concern. That maybe i would need further treatment which i ended up getting some further treatment and now here we are twelve years later. I'm happy to report. I'm cancer free. And we'd beat. We beat the cancer a so it was the year it was the emotional side that not down. Not the physical side. It was the fears. I here i am a pastor. I remember writing in my journal before going into the surgery. Lord don't let me flinch in the fire. So i really wanted to be strong and didn't flinch and i did flinch but to use the story of chad rack. Check in bendigo. You know christ was with me in the fire. The son of man and i will say like we preach like we teach adversity brought greater maturity. i'm a better pass drama better comforter of people having experienced this. I understand this If somebody tells me they're having a mental health issue. I get it a lot more and so It's it's very real. You're right it is not something you can see from the outside. It's not a wound. It's not you know you're you're not limping except in your soul. Well it's just wonderful to have you talking openly about this. The book is reignite fresh. Focus for an enduring faith talking to jack. Graham the nasdaq part of the problem. I was talking to voting outcome earlier. Certain things are so insidious another words if somebody says. Hey you've got depression. You need to pray more or listen to more worship music or what way that could solve certain kinds of depression which is why you really do. Think like it. Could it could be me because there are people who are doing the wrong things if you're not exercising if you're not any number of things that can contribute right but it's been my experience that you could do everything right and even the depression can make it difficult to pray can make it difficult to read scripture so you need to have discernment about that kind of thing. One of the things that happens. Is you start believing lies. And because depression lies to you and the the thing that i dealt with so much was you're stuck like this forever. We're gonna. I wanna come back and talk about that. Depression is unique. Think you're gonna be stuck with forever that is that is a major major piece of deep depression. We'll be right back talking to jack.

"Least for another few years. The fledgling graham made a name for himself prosecuting. The impeachment of president clinton and after eight hot and heavy years in the house. He was finally ready to settle down for a long term. Commitment with the us and no wedding would be complete. Without the best man. Graham and senator john mccain were the best of friends. United by their shared love of fiscal conservatism. Straight talk and a desire to bomb the middle east. Back to the stone-age. I believe those who are calling for draw have the obligation to tell us what we do. In the region. When it descends the chaos is my friend. Lindsey graham just said well i think senator mccain nailed it. They went searching for wmd's but they found their bff with iraq solved permanently. Graham in his political spouse were finally ready to co ascend to the most powerful office in the land but when they were foiled by an even more radical hussein. Graham became despondent. He knew that he would treat power so much better than that. Cat obama so he made his. I'm lindsey graham. And i'm running for president of the united states. Yes lindsey graham was single and ready to mingle with voters. He turned the white house into his bachelor pad. Firstly numbers this president. We don't drink more and the media was fascinated with his roguish light style. So it's date mary or make disappear forever. Hillary clinton carly fiorina for sarah who you marrying carly 'cause she's.

When you see injustice anywhere at any time you can just say whatever and move along then in his teenage years like most voices age linzie developed strange new urges in uncontrollable lust political power. Classmates remember him saying. I want to be governor and also let me out of this locker. After becoming the first in his family to graduate college graham joined the armed forces where he would serve six and a half years in the air force as a lawyer in a lot of ways.
