"Welcome back. Talking to Kevin McCullough, that Kevin show. Kevin, please continue. You were making an important point. Several. It's just if if Biden's if Biden was not there, none of this would have happened. We would have had a completely different outcome on the southern border. And in only three and a half years, there's been enough damage from that one policy alone. We're not even talking about his transgender agenda for schools or his ruining of the economy or what he's done to our foreign policy with our enemies and allies across the global security front. We're just talking about just we're just talking about just our back door, just the back porch on the house. That's all we're talking about right now. And in that one issue, in that one simple policy scenario, he has ruined our country and potentially taken us down a path that we may never even be able to recover from. You understand, Eric, if we don't win the next election and the Democrats take the House and I'm not saying that any of this is going to happen, I'm just saying if you if you look at the ramifications of what they've done in three and a half years, imagine what they're going to do if they take control of both houses again. There's already a discussion about trying to disband or pack or change the Supreme Court in some way. All checks and balances are off. They don't want checks and balances. There this is a takeover of not just someone who disagrees with us on economic policy. This is the takeover by people who hold an agenda that is distinctively anti-God. And in that reflects their hostility toward their fellow man. And in that they seek to empower and enrich themselves. And the rest of us are all here to be subservient to that agenda. This is not your mom and dad's disagreement between the Democrat and the Republican Party. This is survival of some level, acknowledge that there is a God versus a Marxist state that says that God is dead, does not exist, and we should not pay any pay him any attention. The stakes don't get bigger. And if we're not individually going to our houses of worship, talking to our pastors, talking to our neighbors, telling the people that we go to the gym with, do you understand what's going on in our country? If we don't show the passion for it, if we don't have the endless energy to fight the battle, there will be no one after us to do it. So it's a call to arms. We have to be ready and we have to go. And this is why I say to people wherever I go, if you're going to a church that is not dealing with this, get out of that church. God will judge you for your complicity, silence in the face of evil. In my book, Letter to the American Church, I talk about the parallels. The German churches didn't know, didn't want to know that they were complicit with evil. They wanted to have church. They wanted things to be nice. They wanted things to go back the way they were. So they ignored the satanic evil slowly being unleashed until it was too late. That happened. It is happening in America now. If you're going to one of those churches, folks, I just want to warn you, the evil is real. It's coming for all of us. You need to understand it. You need to be in a church that understands it.

"Kevin, this is the thing that we have a leadership class that doesn't seem to care. They seem to hate Donald Trump so much that they don't care about children being raped. They don't care about fentanyl basically destroying middle America, I guess because it's filled with deplorables, working class people who would vote for Donald Trump. I don't know what else to make of it. Again, the folks on that stage last night in this quote unquote debate, how are they not talking about this more than anything else? There are a number of things like this that it just doesn't get worse. When you talk about total election fraud, when you talk about government taking over parental rights, when you talk about mandating vaccines, all of this stuff is a cancellation of our rights as Americans. It's been going on. It's front and center. It's the weaponization of the DOJ on and on and on and on. To talk about anything else, it's just mind-blowing to me. That's why I don't understand why anyone can take anyone besides Trump seriously because he seems to be the only one getting this. Again, this is not to slam Ron DeSantis, but people don't understand the urgency of what is happening and what it's going to take to fight back. Well, one of the things that people want to harp on when you talk about election integrity and if they don't buy the narrative that the last election was stolen, et cetera, then they shut down. They're like, well, we can't really have that conversation because Joe Biden got more votes than him. But here's the problem, and it's a significant one. Votes and elections matter. If you didn't have Joe Biden in office for the last three and a half years, you wouldn't have the three things I just laid out, the fentanyl coming across, the number of terrorists that might be here and the number of kids that are being raped and murdered. If you don't have Joe Biden in office, that doesn't happen. So maybe you hate Trump on everything that he's ever said publicly or whatever you can come up or whatever reason you can excuse. Here's the question. Whatever's happened in the past, this is the situation now. What will you do now? Will you, listening to Eric Metaxas today, say, I'm going to go to my church and I'm going to talk to every single person that attends and I'm going to lay out these simple, very provable things. And by the way, Eric, I took all of that data from the government's own sources. So it wasn't like I had to go find it from questionable places and piece it together. They have all of this data. The administration knows the things I just told your audience about the dangers of the southern border. But this is the one defining thing that when Trump was there, he said, no, we're going to have a wall. We're going to have a secure progress. We're going to have the Mexican side of the border working on their side of the border. And we're going to be working on our side. We're going to continue to build that wall. We had one of the most secure seasons of our border that we've ever had. The second that Biden comes in and does all of it. Break, folks, I'm in Costa Mesa tonight. If you want to meet me, we will be right back.

"Folks, I'm talking to Kevin McCullough, that Kevin show. Kevin, you wrote an article at townhall.com about the border. And again, it is mind blowing that this is happening in America. There are people coming across the border. We don't know who they are. If I were the head of the atheist Communist Party in China, I would take advantage of this loophole. I would send military age young men across that border. We do not know what is happening, but I'll tell you what, the Chinese leadership isn't stupid. I would be shocked if they weren't already doing this, if they weren't taking advantage of this, and this could blow up in our faces literally. This could be a takeover of our country in a genuine sense by a military power. Nobody seems to be paying any attention to that. Think about the fact that we only needed 19 people to pull off 9-11 and to exact the damage that caused on that fateful day. When you hear the number 1.8 million getaways on the southern border over the last three years, so there's been 5.9 million today that have crossed. 1.8 million of the 5.9, we don't know where they went or who they were. They just got away. They're the gotaways of the numbers that have come across. How many times does 19 divide into 1.8 million? I don't know, but that's a lot of people. Considering that we have stopped people from 164 countries on the southern border, considering that we've stopped people, 146 of them just this year that are on the active terror watch list, the terrorism issue is just one part of the immorality of our border policy. When you consider things like the amount of fentanyl that they have captured on the back end of this current exercise, Eric, is 23,469 pounds. Medical authorities will tell you that you need about two milligrams of fentanyl to kill a human being. If you divide two milligrams into 23,000 plus pounds, you come up with enough fentanyl to kill 5.2 billion people or the entire population of the United States 15 times over at 333 million people. That's another column. You've got the terrorism, you've got the fentanyl, then you've got what I consider to be the most tragic and most immoral policy of all. The cartels are giving up on the fentanyl trade because they've already made their dice there. What they are doing now is moving into human trafficking and sex slavery where they made, get this number, $13 billion last year. The entire GDP, Eric, is 25 billion for the United States. They made more than half of our entire nation's GDP, bringing little girls and little boys into the country so that they can be sexually abused. If righteous people don't have a bug in their bonnet over this, if you don't have a burning in your gut, if you're not ravingly spitting mad about this, then there is no hope for America because you can't find a more dangerous, a more evil, and a more disgustingly anti-human policy than the policy that the Democrats who control control Washington DC and the White House and the Senate at present, those policies that those people are implementing are the ones creating the very scenarios I just laid out. They've been there for three and a half years. This is the result of what they've done. This is the fruit of their labor. If it isn't evil, what is? That's exactly what I've been saying. You have to call it evil. It is evil. It is satanic evil to rape children.

"Welcome back, talking to Kevin McCullough, That Kevin Show. Kevin, again, I'm just astonished at how when you talk about some of the things you just mentioned, I'm mentioning some things. Most people in America are aware that we are in an extremely bad place. We are losing the country. You wrote an article at Town Hall about the open border situation. You wonder, how can Governor Greg Abbott, for example, be allowing these people to come into his state? I mean, is he just a coward? It's just an unbelievable thing that this is happening in America right now. No, Governor Abbott's actually the only governor of the border states that's fighting it, and he's putting up razor wire on the Texas side of the river. I mean, this has been going on for years, frankly. He's defying the feds in terms of them telling him not to use the National Guard. The governor of Texas is the only one that is fighting it, and the Venezuelan green card program that the president announced last week, Texas has already filed a lawsuit challenging that. They've challenged multiple edicts that the Obama and Biden administrations just said, this is what we're going to do for border people, and they've won every one of them in court. They're the only ones fighting. Gavin Newsom's fighting. Arizona's not fighting. New Mexico's not fighting. Texas is, and that's why the administrations can govern us back on them. And frankly, he ought to have been doing much more, much, much sooner, because honestly, it's preposterous. I'm glad to hear some good news, but this is something that most Americans cannot believe is happening. And again, who's talking about it? What was on display last night on Fox News? How many people watched that, did you say? Well, we don't know numbers from last night yet, but I'm going to guess it's somewhere less than 10 million, which for a national debate of the presidential office, this is embarrassingly low numbers. Well, because it's not a national debate. And it's not even probably for vice president. Trump is going to win the nomination. Even if you don't like him, you need to be realistic that whoever was up there last night, it's kind of like, it's some kind of a career move. They have an opportunity, but most people don't take it seriously as a presidential debate. I mean, the fact that it's in the Reagan library, they're acting as though it's a real presidential debate, but I don't think most people take it that way. It's a hard problem for the GOP right now, because what they are stuck dealing with in terms of what they're promoting is everything but the guy that's ultimately going to be the brand for the party going into the election. And they're just kind of at a loss. If I was Ronna McDaniel, what I would do right now is I would do one more debate at max, and I would include only two to three of the people that were on the stage last night. And I would say you have to have a polling percentage above, let's say, 10% or something like that to stand on the stage. And then I would do everything I could to entice the president to join them. That's the only kind of debate that's going to be substantive between now and the general election. And if you can't get that formula, don't even bother with it, because you're, you're just wasting people's time. And you're actually now turning your party into a little bit of a mockery. Well, I mean, I think to the extent that the party turned its back on Donald Trump in 2016, and to some extent in 2020, it's already a mockery. I mean, the idea that George W. Bush and company did not support the nominee when it was Donald Trump, I can't imagine what their excuse would be for that. Well, in the globalist mindset, there's there's sacrifices that people are willing to make. And this is where I strongly part ways with the people that are supporting Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis. These are the donors that want that kind of republicanism back. And Donald Trump changed the Republican Party, the voters are with Trump, they are not with the partisan heads in the party right now. And so, again, we're just kind of just flailing our arms at nothing right now, which is too bad, because when you have 6 million people coming across the southern border, and by and large, the problem is, you know, California, Arizona, you've got more people come that have come in on Biden's watch, then the combined populations of the bottom eight states, you have in 6 million people, you have more population than 32 of the 50 states individually. Think about where those people go and what they displace in terms of eventual votes, if you don't have a clean voting system. This is this is another piece of the cheating puzzle that Democrats have wanted for years. And when the Border Patrol announces a couple of weeks ago, that with the current resources that they have that they just fundamentally do not have the ability to sheriff the border anymore, and you're you averaged over the last two weeks, Eric 10 to 12,000 migrants crossing a day, 10 to 12,000 crosses a day, just want to say this is evil, folks, this is absolutely evil. And anybody pretending that it's not is working with evil. There are things happening in our time, that if you are not on the right side of it, if you don't see it, and call it out and work against it, you're working with it. I will say it again, what they just did to Mike Lindell, a friend of Patriot, it is unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen, they will go to any lengths. So I'm asking you go to my store.com, go to my pillow.com, please use the code Eric, because we need your help on this program. But living at a time when American Express in this case, is going after him to cancel him, they're going to come for you. They're coming for you. That's what this is about. This is about control. It is fundamentally an American and we need to stand against it with everything we have. We'll be right back.

"Folks, we're talking to our friend Kevin McCullough. You can find him at That Kevin Show. You can't find him at Vote Stradamus on Twitter, but you should be able to. Kevin, we were just talking about last night's quote unquote debate, which I'm in awe of how awful it was. Now, to be fair, I only watched enough to form the opinion that it's awful, which was about 40 seconds. But you talked about Kelly, I think of her as a deep state neocon. I think of her as, you know, it might as well be Dick Cheney up there. Oh, I think that's incredibly unfair. She was Trump's UN ambassador, and she carried out Trump policy on the foreign policy front quite well for the president. And in fact, she had had discussions with him about running for president before she announced, and he didn't tell her not to. So this is, I don't think she is not as far as I can tell, she's not one that's pushing the extension of the Ukraine conflict further. You certainly have some of those types that are Mike Pence being one of them, that is saying we need to, you know, it's a forever war. But there last night, because I saw him and I wasn't sure if he was there. He was on the stage. He I think he was on the outer most looking at the stage, I think he was to the far right. And so he was what that meant was the two on the ends are the most likely not to be there the next go around. And that was Mike Pence on one end and Governor Burgum on the other. And I think that they're going to be whittling this down. But my argument would be don't do any more debates. These these have turned it into fruitless activity that is just doing nothing but taking the attention away from what the big issues are. And by that, what they should have been talking about last night was, what about the $250,000 wire that came to the Biden residency in 2019, as he's campaigning for president saying he's never received one dime from China or known anything about Hunter's business? What do they think about the fact that the oversight committee and the Judiciary Committee continue to churn out piece of evidence after piece of evidence? They had a poor showing in the debate, but the debate was awful. The questions were terrible. And as in terms of getting to the heart of what we are facing as a nation, they didn't really they didn't really go there. Eric, in these debates, there should be at least three to five questions concerning parental rights, educational overreach by the Department of Education and the unions, what you're going to do about it as a president, are you going to continue to allow states to say that we're going to we're going to terrorize and imprison parents if they say to their kid, no, we're going to align you with your biological sex, not with some sort of imaginary gender in your head. There are issues that people care about that are actually game changing, winning issues, be it parental rights with their kids and what the schools are doing to them, whether it's the fact that we've imported 6 million people into this country that we don't really know who they are, where they're at, or if they're even going to receive ballots in the new Pennsylvania initiative where they're just going to register everybody who gets a driver's license to vote there. And that goes back to your election integrity issue. The point is they're asking the wrong questions. We're getting the wrong answers. And as a result, these these pretend little song and dance things that they're doing on these stages are of they're of no use to us whatsoever. This is why, by the way, Donald Trump continues to increase his lead. He is talking about the things that people care about and he is ready to go to work. He's saying now in his speeches, I will do this when I am reelected. We didn't hear a lot of that from people last night because I don't know that any of them really feel like they're going to be there. Well, I think they know they're not. It's a very strange it's it's a kind of a theater that that's going on. And I puppet show and it's embarrassing. Well, to be done with them. Part of what's interesting to me is that their inability to be compelling, entertaining. And by the way, well, it only underscores Trump's ability to be compelling and entertaining. But the reason he is so tremendously compelling and entertaining is because he talks about the things that people are thinking about. It's kind of like why is that comedian so funny? Because he's saying what everyone's thinking. Trump has an amazing ability to do that. And the folks who are running on the GOP side do not have that ability. Even the ones that I like, Rhonda Santas obviously does not have that ability to be compelling. As soon as any of them last night started talking, I just yawn. I just have to turn away. I mean, I really I gave it seconds practically because I thought it's amazing how none of them has that appeal, basically, which, you know, you need to be if you're going to run for president, and especially if you think you're going to run against Donald Trump.

"Welcome to the Eric Mataxas Show. Do you like your gravy thick and rich and loaded with creamy mushrooms? If no one was looking, would you chug the whole gravy boat? Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Stay tuned. Here comes Mr. Chug-a-Lug himself, Eric Mataxas. Hey folks, welcome to the program. If you're like me, last night you were able to watch the debate and you deliberately skipped it for your mental health. That's just where I am in life right now. I caught parts of it which made me wince and cringe, sometimes wince and cringe. I never wept, but you know what, it's probably better for me to find out what my guest thought. He may have watched the debate. My friend, Kevin McCullough, we call you votes tridamus because you are a prognosticator, a seer, a prophet politically speaking. Kevin McCullough of that Kevin show, how are you? I'm well and I can see some things very clearly today. There should be no more debates. These exercises in futility, and that's what they've turned into, are becoming embarrassing to the cause of what this election should be about. And last night, it's just hard to put into words how bad this debate was, from its execution to the policies, to the answers. It was just nothing good about it. Some people in my audience care about this. I'm in Irvine, California. I'm in a hotel room you people can see. I'm speaking today, so today's Thursday in Costa Mesa. So if anybody wants to come and hold my hand and hug me about the sadness of the debate, or just talk to me or get book signed or whatever I'm going to be tonight in Costa Mesa, you go to my website, ericmataxas.com, and you can see me and talk to me and hang out and whatever tonight in Costa Mesa. This is Thursday, folks. And tomorrow, there's a prayer breakfast here in Irvine that I'm speaking at. But the reason I bring this up, Kevin, is because I rarely have time to turn on the TV. And last night, I realized, oh, I'm pretty wiped out. Let me turn on the TV. Let me just look at the debate just to see. I really literally couldn't bear to watch it. So as someone who watched it, I'm talking to you. Am I being cruel or unfair? Because it was unfair. What little I saw was genuinely unbearable. No, as I was saying just a second ago, from the way it was structured, to the execution, to the answers to the substance, the format's wild and out of control. There's not really a possibility of getting very deep on any one of the single questions. And I think a lot of the questions that are being asked are not the right ones. And so as I've watched, and I didn't watch all of last night's debate in real time, I caught up on a bunch of it after the fact. But as I've sat through both of them now, it is easy for me to ascertain that no one in this field on that stage last night is serious about becoming president. And they're not biting into the enormous lead that the former president has only built on since the first debate occurred. The first debate, they had 11 million viewers put to put that in perspective, Eric, in 2015. For the first debate, they had more than 15 million viewers in 2020. For the first debate, they had about 18 million viewers. You're talking about a diminishing return a, a much less interested Republican base watching these, and they're not they're not going anywhere. And in the meantime, it's putting even with some of our better idea people on display as amateurs, even with Doug Burgum on the stage, hard to believe. Yeah. That would be like a rematch between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson. You're telling me people, Lisa Hutchinson was not able to be on the stage this time, as far as we know. Yeah, I think he took a, he took a face shot in the early rounds, and he was in his dressing room. Honestly, the thing there, what I said on Twitter this morning, was that they acted like it was 1985. We are living in a time in America, where most people see, we are in freefall, hell has been unleashed. Things have gotten so bad on so many fronts that it is, if you don't believe in God, which I do, and I trust in him, but if it weren't for that, I'd be scared to death. What is happening in this country? And they acted like it's 1985. And we're gonna, we're gonna have this conversation. And I thought, this is this is bad. I mean, the way the the deep state has been weaponized to go after Donald Trump, for example, I don't care if you're running against Trump, if you like Trump, but if that doesn't strike you as, as fundamentally un-American and sick as anything, as though, you know, we were being bombed by China, it's pretty bad. They seem not to be concerned. Well, they're responding to questions that have been supposedly thoughtfully put together by the moderators that are doing the debate. And Ron DeSantis did a little bit more of this last night, all of them to have done more of this, where he actually came with a little bit of an agenda to give little speeches every time that he was given the opportunity to speak. And he got more things out on the record than what he was asked about. But that should be the strategy of every candidate going into every debate. That should be the strategy of every thinker going on every media outlet that you can. Sometimes, Eric, it's better for me to go on Fox or Newsmax or somewhere and have something that I'm more intent on saying that what they want to ask me about. And if you're, if you're running for president in times of crisis, and I don't, I don't view the period that we're in right now as a peaceful time. We're not actively at war with anybody, but we are actively at war with evil on, on almost every front. So we need, there needs to be an urgency. There needs to be a sense of, we cannot phone it in and do it like we've done it in the past, especially knowing that we are going to run up against probably illicit, illegal, cheating schemes, trying to keep the election from actually being determined by the people that have the right to determine it. And before people criticize me for that, we've replaced the population of the bottom eight states in just illegal entries into the country over the last three years. Well, let's do that in a minute, because you wrote an article at townhall.com. That is one of the stunning nightmares that they acted like not, not really a big problem. But what you just said about cheating, I think most Americans know the Democrats cheat at elections. How is that not the most important thing to discuss when you're talking about a presidential election? Are you and I imagining, are millions and millions and millions and millions of Democrats actually cheat? Now they've done it for decades, but now we know that they have turned it into a science. They are at war with we, the people, they don't actually care about winning in a fair way. They just care about winning. How is that not unbelievably important and something that has to be discussed? But the Fox hosts and the Latina from Univision, which is another bizarre thing, they seem to act like January 6 was Trump supporters being violent. They seem to act like the election was fair. Biden won. What world are they living in? All of them. I don't know what to say. And obviously, I think Vivek and Ron DeSantis, they're the only two candidates that I can take seriously. I've got problems with them a little bit. But the whole thing was like, they were all play acting like we're living in a different America than the one most of us are living in. Well, I will hold one exception out to what you just said. And I believe that Nikki Haley had a sense of urgency about her last night. And she did in the first debate as well. And I think that's why she's now out polling DeSantis in several polls, is that people are beginning to understand that as a former governor, she probably has a shot at the VP pick. I don't think the VP pick is going to come out of this group. But if Trump did want one that I'm seeing kind of be serious on the issues that are the most pressing, she's the one that kind of gets the vote in terms of... I think of her as deep state, neo-con, next. All right. That's fine. I'm just saying in terms of her performance thus far. We've got you our wonderfully. I'm so glad that we do. We'll be right back.

So if anybody wants to come and hold my hand and hug me about the sadness of the debate, or just talk to me or get book signed or whatever I'm going to be tonight in Costa Mesa, you go to my website, ericmataxas .com, and you can see me and talk to me and hang out and whatever tonight in Costa Mesa. This is Thursday, folks. And tomorrow, there's a prayer breakfast here in Irvine that I'm speaking at. But the reason I bring this up, Kevin, is because I rarely have time to turn on the TV. And last night, I realized, oh, I'm pretty wiped out. Let me turn on the TV. Let me just look at the debate just to see. I literally really couldn't bear to watch it. So as someone who watched it, I'm talking to you. Am I being cruel or unfair? Because it was unfair. What little I saw was genuinely unbearable. No, as I was saying just a second ago, from the way it was structured, to the execution, to the answers to the substance, the format's wild and out of control. There's not really a possibility of getting very deep on any one of the single questions. And I think a lot of the questions that are being asked are not the right ones. And so as I've watched, and I didn't watch all of last night's debate in real time, I caught up on a bunch of it after the fact. But as I've sat through both of them now, it is easy for me to ascertain that no one in this field on that stage last night is serious about becoming president. And they're not biting into the enormous lead that the former president has only built on since the first debate occurred. The first debate, they had 11 million viewers put to put that in perspective, Eric, in 2015. For the first debate, they had more than 15 million viewers in 2020. For the first debate, they had about 18 million viewers. You're talking about a diminishing return a, a much less interested Republican base watching these, and they're not they're not going anywhere. And in the meantime, it's putting even with some of our better idea people on display as amateurs, even with Doug Burgum on the stage, hard to believe. Yeah. That would be like a rematch between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson. You're telling me people, Lisa Hutchinson was not able to be on the stage this time, as far as we know. Yeah, I think he took a, he took a face shot in the early rounds, and he was in his dressing room. Honestly, the thing there, what I said on Twitter this morning, was that they acted like it was 1985. We are living in a time in America, where most people see, we are in freefall, hell has been unleashed. Things have gotten so bad on so many fronts that it is, if you don't believe in God, which I do, and I trust in him, but if it weren't for that, I'd be scared to death. What is happening in this country? And they acted like it's 1985. And we're gonna, we're gonna have this conversation. And I thought, this is this is bad. I mean, the way the the deep state has been weaponized to go after Donald Trump, for example, I don't care if you're running against Trump, if you like Trump, but if that doesn't strike you as, as fundamentally un -American and sick as anything, as though, you know, we were being bombed by China, it's pretty bad. They seem not to be concerned. Well, they're responding to questions that have been supposedly thoughtfully put together by the moderators that are doing the debate. And Ron DeSantis did a little bit more of this last night, all of them to have done more of this, where he actually came with a little bit of an agenda to give little speeches every time that he was given the opportunity to speak. And he got more things out on the record than what he was asked about. But that should be the strategy of every candidate going into every debate. That should be the strategy of every thinker going on every media outlet that you can. Sometimes, Eric, it's better for me to go on Fox or Newsmax or somewhere and have something that I'm more intent on saying that what they want to ask me about. And if you're, if you're running for president in times of crisis, and I don't, I don't view the period that we're in right now as a peaceful time. We're not actively at war with anybody, but we are actively at war with evil on, on almost every front. So we need, there needs to be an urgency. There needs to be a sense of, we cannot phone it in and do it like we've done it in the past, especially knowing that we are going to run up against probably illicit, illegal, cheating schemes, trying to keep the election from actually being determined by the people that have the right to determine it. And before people criticize me for that, we've replaced the population of the bottom eight states in just illegal entries into the country over the last three years. Well, let's do that in a minute, because you wrote an article at townhall .com. That is one of the stunning nightmares that they acted like not, not really a big problem. But what you just said about cheating, I think most Americans know the Democrats cheat at elections. How is that not the most important thing to discuss when you're talking about a presidential election? Are you and I imagining, are millions and millions and millions and millions of Democrats actually cheat? Now they've done it for decades, but now we know that they have turned it into a science. They are at war with we, the people, they don't actually care about winning in a fair way. They just care about winning. How is that not unbelievably important and something that has to be discussed? But the Fox hosts and the Latina from Univision, which is another bizarre thing, they seem to act like January 6 was Trump supporters being violent. They seem to act like the election was fair. Biden won. What world are they living in? All of them. I don't know what to say. And obviously, I think Vivek and Ron DeSantis, they're the only two candidates that I can take seriously. I've got problems with them a little bit. But the whole thing was like, they were all play acting like we're living in a different America than the one most of us are living in. Well, I will hold one exception out to what you just said. And I believe that Nikki Haley had a sense of urgency about her last night. And she did in the first debate as well. And I think that's why she's now out polling DeSantis in several polls, is that people are beginning to understand that as a former governor, she probably has a shot at the VP pick. I don't think the VP pick is going to come out of this group. But if Trump did want one that I'm seeing kind of be serious on the issues that are the most pressing, she's the one that kind of gets the vote in terms of... I think of her as deep state, neo -con, next. All right. That's fine. I'm just saying in terms of her performance thus far. We've got you our wonderfully. I'm so glad that we do. We'll be right back.

A highlight from The Left Is Removing Statues & Erasing Americas History
"It's a real blessing to be surrounded by good people, and there are people who have my back struggling a little bit today. Two dreaded words, dry socket. Anybody who's had a wisdom tooth extraction knows the perils of dry socket. Well, good old dummy me got it and not doing so hot. So we're going to bring in my pal Kevin McCulloch. Kevin and I got to visit on the big Salem, New York, cruise around the island of Manhattan a week or two ago. Kevin, of course, is an accomplished talk show host based in New York City. He's been heard for years on our Christian station and on the news talk station. This is a man of faith, a terrific guy. And Kevin, you're going to help back me up a little bit today. I might be handing off the baton right off the bat. Have you ever had wisdom tooth dry socket problems before? No, I haven't. And just the sound of the words dry socket strike fear into my deepest being. So I feel very badly for you, Mike, and we've got whatever you need from us today. We're here to help. It's every bit as bad as it sounds, and it's not a good thing. It's what you don't want after you have a... I knew it was going too easy. I had the wisdom tooth removed Friday afternoon after the show. Everything was going great. Saturday, I was feeling great, Sunday not so good. And so it happens sometimes. So it's good to have you here with us. And first of all, many, many thanks to the great job you always do when you fill in for us. Of course, I've been listening to you for years, and it must be a fun experience for you because you're sort of transitioning from your own audience and your base into sort of another platform with our show. And I know our listeners have welcomed you with open arms. Well, I have, and Mike, the Mike Gallagher audience continues to be, I think, not only the most informed because of your daily efforts, but they prove to be generous in all of the campaigns that you do. And as I said when I filled in for you the last time, because I work PM Drive, I'm a big Mike Gallagher listener. I listen and actually many times watch your show on the Salem News Channel. And it's just fun to hang out in your sandbox. So thank you for letting me do that. Thank you. And thank you to Jerry Crowley and everybody at Salem Media of New York that allows us to have all the connections to do. It takes a lot of technology to do what we're doing at this very moment, Mike. And if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to. You'd be in dry socket hell if we didn't have a better management team. And speaking of Salem News Channel, That Kevin Show has become a big hit on SNC. You're doing a great job with that. And I love the mix. And I was one of your first guests. I was really honored to be on your show. And you've got a great blend of politics and pop culture and lifestyle and all kinds of neat stuff. In fact, speaking of that, let's kick off with some breaking news. Donald Trump Jr.'s account on X, formerly Twitter, was apparently hacked earlier today. I don't know if you've heard this story. There were a series of – well, get this. There were a series of offensive tweets, including one that said, I'm sad to announce my father, Donald Trump, has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024. You know, Kevin, there's such evil out there and there is such sickness and mean -spiritedness and viciousness. And somehow this almost seems par for the course, doesn't it? Well, it's one of those things where if Donald Trump lives this rent -free in the left's heads, just imagine how effective he'll be if he's reelected. I mean, this is – you've got to remember, and I know that you do, Mike, but for people that are listening, particularly cynics, Donald Trump's one of the few presidents that campaigned on a slate of promises and then went and actually did what he promised. If he comes back, he's already making promises about what's going to happen. There's going to be cleaning of the House and the FBI and the DOJ. There's going to be getting rid of the deep state at the Pentagon and places where wokeness has overtaken actual common sense in terms of policy. So of course they're going to play dirty and of course they're going to try to do everything they can. And all I have to do to compare what they think about Donald Trump Jr. is just ask the question, Hunter Biden? Question mark? No kidding. No kidding. Is there any comparison between the two? And you know, speaking of Trump and his promises and his predictions, something has come to fruition in New York City, and you know the city as well as anybody. Now comes news that these goofballs in Manhattan are actually going to consider taking down statues or any commemoration of George Washington, of Christopher Columbus. And I want to go back to 2017. I want to play this for you, Kevin. Check out what Trump said, because when he said it at the time, they condemned him. Oh, how crazy is he? Check this out. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of to them a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name. George Washington was a slave owner. Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down excuse me, are we going to take down are we going to take down statues to George? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him? OK, good. Are we going to take down the statue? Because he was a major slave owner. Now we're going to take down his statue. So Kevin McCullough, do you remember the backlash? Do you remember the backlash he got when he said that and they mocked him and they said, what a lunatic. And he's a fear monger. And now just look at what's happening in New York City, what he predicted could be coming to fruition. Yeah. And you know, what's particularly sad about that, Mike, it's like if people have a different view of history, so be it. That doesn't mean, number one, that they should set policy for what everybody thinks about history. And certainly I would make an argument that history is made by flawed people. And it's really people that overcome the worst flaws of what they have that really do great things and that we should celebrate the great achievements, not expect every single human being to have been perfect. But beyond all of that, this city's in a mess. We have crime. We've got migrant overpopulation in ways and areas that we can't even begin to deal with. And this is what people want to focus on. I mean, and it is you're talking about a warped mix of priorities for sure. It's upside down. And it's absolutely happening as I mean, I've been following this and I'm in just absolute utter amazement, as you say, New York City dealing with crime, crippled under monumental budget cuts due to the illegal immigration issue that frankly the Democrats created. I mean, you want to be a sanctuary city, be a sanctuary city. And now the City Council's Cultural Affairs Committee is going to hold a public hearing on a measure to remove works of art on city property that depict a person who owned enslaved persons or directly benefited economically from slavery. Well, of course, George Washington's at the top of that list. So Trump was right. These nuts in New York and in other blue cities are going to try to remove the founding fathers from our consciousness because they own slaves. And it's exactly what Trump said back in 2017.
Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Week in Review - Episode 21
"Welcome to The Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review podcast. I'm Eric Hansen. Mike's on vacation, so we had a couple of great guest hosts working this week. We begin with Kevin McCullough of AM 970 The Answer in New York. He discussed some of the new revelations about former Hunter Biden business partner Devin Archer and what he had to say about Joe Biden's involvement in his son's business. We now know that in the Barack Obama, Joe Biden administration, not only did Devin Archer and Hunter Biden business partners regularly converse with then Vice President Joe Biden. He says they never discuss business. He said he never talked about any of his business with the with the with his son. But we now know from Devin Archer's direct testimony that that was not true. But it appears there may have been other administration officials that were involved in the whole shakedown of Ukraine, get them on the board of Burisma so that they could have eighty thousand dollar a month jobs, not knowing the language, not knowing anything about an energy company. Because it's been revealed in documents that have just been brought to light that then Secretary of State John Kerry, I'm John Kerry, I may catch up. Well, no, my wife's family does. I'm John Kerry and I'm reporting for duty or something like you remember that at the convention is really weird. Secretary of State John Kerry and the Obama administration evidently met with and discussed with Devin Archer several of the items related to the Ukraine scenario, getting the prosecutor fired so that they wouldn't be putting political pressure on Burisma, getting getting permissions taken care of from the State Department so that all the whole thing would go smoother. So it's not just crazy Uncle Joe. It's also crazy Uncle John. And these two have yet to answer for any of it. You cannot sell access to American political appointees or elect or elect elected officials. That's that's but where are the prosecutions? Where's the where's the three a .m. SWAT detail bringing John Kerry in in his pajamas? The Hunter Biden scandal grows more troubling every day. Meanwhile, we've been hearing a lot of chatter in the media about a covid resurgence, but is it a real threat or is there an ulterior motive? I want to go back to the phones. Let's start with Chris calling from Rockwall, Texas. Hello, Chris. Hey, how's it going? Thank you so much for taking my phone call. You got it. I was just sitting there listening to you and I wanted to see what your thoughts were. We've had all these different variants or so -called variants. I don't even pay attention to any of them, but almost nobody knows what they're they're called anymore. It's crazy. They keep coming out with new ones. And so what are your thoughts on the economic implications? Because we've had all these variants and then no news, no news. And now all of a sudden we're here and they're setting lockdowns, masks, businesses are seemingly joining this force. And I find it ironic that it has everything to do with going into a presidential year. Oh, Chris, I don't I don't know. Wherever did you get that idea here on August the 28th? Just as we're just as we're revving up after the first presidential debate and headed towards the full primary cycle. Where could you ever get such a crazy idea? Chris from Rockwall, Texas. Thanks for the call.

Kevin McCullough on hurricane watch duty for you this morning. Hurricane Idalia making its way across the Florida Panhandle. Actually, it hit much further north on the western coast than what I had realized. I thought it was coming in a little bit further south. It kind of came right into the armpit of where the top and the bottom panhandles reach. And as it's moving up into across the area, it's almost splitting the goal posts evenly between Jacksonville and Panama City. And that means that Georgia is next in its wake. And then it's going to be headed up towards Charleston and Wilmington before it eventually turns out. Maybe even regaining some strength and heading out to the Bermuda area before it finally dissipates. So there's a lot of mileage still left in this storm, and we are keeping our eye on it for you. If you would like to help the people of Florida and Georgia recover from this, the Salvation Army will be doing great work. I know that Mike Gallagher is a big believer in the Salvation Army, as am I. So I would be glad to recommend them to you this morning.

Everyone was doing better. The border was secure. And now, in the ReliefFactor .com studios, sitting in for Mike today, here's Kevin McCulloch. It is an honor to be back for my good friend, Mike Gallagher, a colleague here at the Salem Radio Network, and also someone who cares very much about what is happening to our country. Kevin McCulloch is my name. You can find me on the Salem News Channel and many of the same radio stations on Saturday nights at 9 o 'clock Eastern with that Kevin show. If you're local in the New York area, you can listen to me on AM 570 each weekday afternoon at 3 o 'clock, AM 970 the answer each weeknight at 7. And we have a lot of fun. My handle across all social media at that Kevin show. Please be in touch with me. I love to interact on the top stories of the day. We've got a lot to get to this morning. Yesterday, one of the judges in the federal trials that is the former president is going to face in upcoming months set the trial date for March 4th. This is in the special case against President Trump that Jack Smith is bringing the U .S. District Judge for the District Tanya Chutkin. Remember that name? It will live in infamy. She's rejected a proposal by the Trump defense team that the trial began in April of twenty twenty six long after the election. She instead set the date far closer to the one proposed by Smith and the government who wanted it on January 2nd. And if you happen to be a criminal attorney, please dial me eight hundred six five five Mike eight hundred six five five six four five three. I'd love to have some validation on this, but one of the one of the broadcasts I do here in New York for AM 970 the answer focuses on litigative issues every Thursday night. And we just talk legal stuff. I'm not a lawyer. I'm fascinated by the law. I think that lawyers that that proves a faithful service to their clients and to the government are are valuable people in our society. But I think it's interesting to see this chess match being played to the public in a way as though lawyers wouldn't know what was really going on here. So let me kind of break it down for you. You had the indictment and the the perp walk and the cuffing and the fingerprinting and all the stuff that they wanted to do to try to embarrass forty five. They had their moment in the in the sun to do that. And then they come back and they say, oh, we're we're going to go to trial quickly. We're going to put you on trial on the second of January. And Jack Smith said, Judge, you've got to put them on trial on the second of January. And the Trump team said, no, we're going to ask for twenty twenty six. And the judge comes back and says, no, no, no, no, we can't give you that much time to prepare. We're going to make sure that you're ready for trial by March the fourth. Now, of all the dates and all the calendars in all the world, March 4th is the day that she just happened to land on. I'm just I'm just looking at this calendar and I'm just seeing of all the choices and options that I have here. And you know what? I'm going to go with March the fourth for no reason whatsoever. Except that March 5th happens to be Super Tuesday. And there's however many states, twelve, fifteen, sixteen states in it. I forget the number. It's one of the most important days of the election calendar. This judge, Tonya Chutkin and and the prosecutor in the in the in the Georgia case are both embarrassing themselves. Fannie Willis and Tonya Chutkin are both embarrassing themselves because their behavior begets kindergartners on day one of preschool. Like it's they're not even in the in the class yet. And they're already like goofing around. Here's what happens between now and March 4th of next year. The Trump team will do a number of things in all of these cases, but they're going to they're going to be filing mainly, especially in the in the state cases for a couple of things. They're going to want those cases moved out of the Georgia state realm and they're going to want to put them into the federal realm because the federal system will be one that's easier to to manage and to and to kind of go through. But beyond that, there are a boatload of motions that will be being entered into the record between now and then that they are going to do everything from filing a motion to dismiss to filing an extension for discovery. And let me just let me just tell you on this on this alleged interference in the 2020 federal case that Jack Smith is doing out of D .C. It's my understanding that there are more than 12 million documents. That will be entered into the evidence, and this Tonya Chutkin joke, this this judge, this this joke of a judge laughed yesterday when told by the Trump team that for proper discovery to be allowed, there's no human way that they could sit and read 12 million pages between now and March 4th. And she just kind of giggled like, ha ha ha. Well, you've already you already know a bunch of the stuff that's in there. Ha ha ha. Friends. We talked about this yesterday. The left is trying to systematically dismantle America and they're starting to let the evil be seen. Right. That was my theme yesterday on the show. We talked about it for three hours. This is another example of that. There's there's this kind of open knowledge that this judge is dismissing. The normal procedures that what would be accustomed to any other criminal defendant, they're not going to allow President Trump. Why aren't they going to give him the same rights and the same protections that they would give a serial killer or a gang banger or anyone else? They're going to have to. And if the judge continues this kind of embarrassing behavior, chuckling at the people that are involved, chuckling at the requests that are made. She's there's a there's a there's a circuit court that oversees this court. And those judges have authoritative roles that they play over the over the sitting judge. That's that's in the court. That is Tonya Chuck him. And if they don't want to be embarrassed, if they don't want to have their circuit embarrassed, they will advise their underling to comport herself differently. But I just find it amazing that we're supposed to buy all of this. This is this is the great lie. They sit here and they pull this stuff and they and they set these unrealistic dates. And by the way, I'm going on the record. They would not have made a January 2nd start date. They're not going to make a March 4th start date. You had it is law. His he has a right to an informed defense. He has he has a right to have his defense know every piece of evidence that's going to be introduced as it's introduced before it's introduced. If the if the prosecution has had twelve point eight million documents in their possession and the defense is just receiving and being made aware of what they're going to introduce. They have to have time legally to not only understand what every document says, but they have to process it and comprehend the implication of what that document has to do with within the case. And then they have to have the right to prepare proper defense of those facts. This isn't a kangaroo court. We're not in a kangaroo nation. There are still laws. And I know these Obama judicial appointees and the Biden administration and the Justice Department all think it's hilarious. What's going to be hilarious is when they get their teeth slapped back at them by their their their upper judges and maybe eventually the Supreme Court, because they're such lunatics with how they're proceeding at current pace. Eight hundred six, five, five, Mike, eight hundred six, five, five, six, four, five, three. Take your calls right now. Eight hundred six, five, five, Mike, eight hundred six, five, five, six, four, five, three. Do you think that Trump will be in court on March 4th, the day before Super Tuesday next year? By the way, some of his fellow Republicans think that he will be. Chris Christie, the shameful, shameful behavior of Chris Christie in recent days coming right back. It's the Mike Gallagher show. Don't go away. Left leaning activists are attacking Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Read The People's Justice Clarence Thomas and the constitutional stories that define him on sale now from Regnery Publishing. You know. As central banks in countries like China, India and Australia begin transitioning to a digital currency, the Federal Reserve has been contemplating the same for the U .S. With the digital currency, the government could track every single purchase you make. Officials could even prohibit you from purchasing certain products or easily freeze or seize part or all of your money. These are some of the reasons concerned Americans reach out to Birch Gold Group. They want to have a physical asset that's independent from the U .S. dollar.

Guest Host Kevin McCullough on the New Way the Left Operates
"Had kind of this rolling conversation about this general idea of the new way that the left is operating. When I was a kid, 150 years ago, crawling around, I remember that my family, my father, grandfather on my mother's side, grandfather and grandmother on my dad's side too, all were registered Democrats. Grew up in North Texas, and Democrats at one point in my childhood had not taken a stand on the abortion issue yet. Roe v. Wade hadn't been decided yet. But as it did, and as the kind of fissure started in the country, I noticed that in my family it started happening. And it took my grandparents the longest to convert from being a Democrat to a Republican. I remember when I was, I don't know, nine or ten, my parents took me to volunteer at a local candidate's office. I helped stuff envelopes and stuff like that for someone who was running for our, I think our House Assembly seat. His last name was Bradshaw. I don't remember the first name, but I remember that. And I just remember that campaigns were always something that was a little bit of an excitement around our house. My dad would perk up a little bit when it was election cycle, and he would talk more about what was going on. And as we delved into the issues of our time then, I remember a voice coming on the radio by the name of Rush Limbaugh. And he had said at that time, for the longest amount of time, that Democrats could never tell you openly what they would actually hope to get passed and actually vote for. Because if they did, they'd never get elected anywhere. Think about it. I want to raise your taxes. Oh, okay, sure, I'll vote for you. I want to make our national defense weaker. Oh, okay, great. Why don't you open the border and let everybody in at the same time? I mean, this is the kind of stuff that if they went out and actually spoke about it honestly on the campaign trail, Americans would reject

"The Quiet Part, In Your Face" With Guest Host Kevin McCullough
"In my town hall column yesterday that's still up at townhall .com. The Quiet Part in Your Face is the title of the column. There's evil being done. And it used to be that I'll go back to the old Rush Limbaugh quote, Democrats will never tell you what they actually want to do once elected. If they did, they never win an election. They have to hide it from you. They have to tell you, that's not really what I'm going to do. I'm going to do this over here, kind of distract you, yell squirrel, see how far you'll chase it. But they're not doing that anymore. And I think that when a culture starts to do evil in plain sight with zero repentance, just saying, try and stop us. I think that's a dark day for that culture. And if you are not currently motivated to be involved in the fight at the local level, all the way to the top of the ticket. Friends, we're going to lose our country. You've got to involved. You've got to get people to the polls. You've got to make sure that you vote and make sure that your votes count. All right. Breaking news. And the phone lines are open, by the way, 800 -655, Mike 800 -655 -6453. But we've been talking about that kind of overarching idea. Do you see the evil being done in the open the way I do? I see it especially in the school policy, and that's largely local Democratic operations that are doing that. You have superintendents and school boards and teachers that are now actively saying we're going to separate the child from the parent. And you know what happens after they do that? Once you get them separated, you can turn the children into reporting agents. Do you want the state raising our children? Do you want the state having the final say on what your children learn in school?

A highlight from Guest Host Kevin McCullough Tackles The Return Of Covid Mandates
"The Mike Gallagher Show. For decades in this country, people have beaten a path to California. It's a beautiful state. And yet they never lost population until their current governor took office. Now they're hemorrhaging wealth. Now they're hemorrhaging population because you see things like what I saw the other day in San Francisco. I saw people defecating on the sidewalk. In the ReliefFactor .com studios, here's Mike. Some words I would rather not hear in the middle of my morning, but Governor Ron DeSantis is right, and that's part of the problem. We'll continue to take your calls about the evil that's being done and how they're not being quiet about it anymore, but willing to stick it in your face. We'll talk some more about that. But I want you to know that today is the last day that the Mike Gallagher Show audience has to assist the very vital work of food for the poor, especially in this hurricane season and it's just getting started. There's going to be a lot of storms through the fall, and what we are dealing with is the need to be ready to help those with emergency items, specifically food, as those difficulties come. Joining us here at the Mike Gallagher Show is Paul Jacobs of Food for the Poor, and Paul, a longtime friend of Kevin McCullough as well. It's good to hear you and see you this morning. Paul, there's been some major hurricane action that our media here in the States hasn't even really picked up. Well, since the very first day of this campaign with Mike Gallagher, we've been sharing a very important principle, and that is we must pre -position aid emergency relief supplies under blue skies. For three weeks in the month of August, we saw nothing in the Atlantic, nothing in the Gulf, and then here we are on really the final days that we're together with you listening, sharing this need, and there are storms on both, as we've seen, in the West Coast of the United States as well as two very powerful storms, Franklin that just pummeled the Dominican Republic and now Edalia that is going to crush the West Coast of Florida, possibly into the Panhandle and states in the Southeast. We really need everyone that's listening right now to understand that if you have listened and you've heard the passionate pleas of Mike Gallagher about these needs of these families, whether it's disaster relief kits or it's a gift of $500 to provide a generator, you are needed right now. There are two, no, sorry, three months left in this hurricane season, and there is more going on, and Kevin, you and I have traveled to Haiti. We've seen the effects of these hurricanes on developing nations, and so we know all too well the aftermath and how the victims like children are affected when the needs and the supplies are not made available. Yeah, I want to emphasize what you said there about developing nations. In highly developed nations, we have trouble with hurricanes in Florida and elsewhere and sometimes are caught a little off guard. Imagine being a country that has one -third or one -fourth or one -tenth the GDP of the United States and trying to survive under these circumstances. It is really, really a tough struggle, and I love the term pre -positioning because that's exactly what it takes, Paul, in order to save these people. There's not, the decisions have to be made in the splits of seconds in order to be able to save lives, and if food for the poor has put the supplies where needed, then those decisions are much easier to make. Last week we just celebrated, we just remembered the 31st anniversary of Hurricane Andrew devastating my home here in South Florida, and I remember all too well what that was like, but the thing that stuck out the most for us and why pre -positioning is so vitally important is that the when hurricanes strike, when the storms hit, when natural disasters occur, the supply chain lines are cut off. And not only that, but it's harder to get to these affected areas, our partnerships at Food for the Poor in these various countries. So when you give right now, just think, your gift is making a difference in delivering aid on day one versus having to wait through the disaster and get the supplies there on day 30. And you can imagine the vulnerable, the vulnerable populations that are waiting for that aid, waiting and praying to God, asking when will something come and having to wait 30 days. But right now, while things are favorable, while the cost of items are less because they haven't been driven up as a result of these supply chain disruptions, as well as a lot of the prices going up in the midst of these natural disasters, you can be a difference maker right now and help a family. You may not meet this side of heaven, but they will feel your compassion like never before. There is such a huge need for particularly the children in such circumstances. Here's the phone number, friends. It's 844 -860 -4673, 844 -860 -4673. And the much easier way to do it is just to text the word Mike to 911999, 911999, text the word Mike, and you can give your gift there. You can also go to MikeOnline .com, and you'll just click the red banner at the top of the page, Emergency Supplies. It's pretty easy to find on the website there. 844 -860 -4673, 844 -860 -4673, or text the range of need. There's lots of things that the people in the affected countries that food for the poor work in need on an ongoing basis. There's regular need for shelter and for clean water and so forth, but food and clean water specifically in the hurricane season are even more important. You mentioned the generator. You mentioned the ways people can get involved, but the real lifeline for these people is sometimes having a bowl of food that they wouldn't be able to have otherwise. Think of it. The most, the essence of life, the basics of life is food and water. And when you talk about a disaster that is just, that blows through a community that cuts off not only the power to a lot of homes where they cannot keep food fresh and they cannot keep the food items safely stored, then they need to have food on a regular basis provided to them. Stores are shut down, access to stores, and even these island nations and many of these countries where they depend on exports coming in, food coming being shipped in. Well, when they're not getting there on time, because as you see in the video that we're showing you for those that are watching on the live stream, you're seeing that the the streets and roads are cut off. There's no access to these communities outside of what is already there in the community. Families, children that need to eat every single day. Many of these children in countries like Haiti and like Guatemala, their only meal comes when they, their nutritious meal that is, comes when they go to school. Schools are closed down until the foreseeable future. And so your help right now, a gift of a hundred dollars, pre -positions a disaster food kit in these countries so that children and families can eat tomorrow and the day after until things get normalized and they can get back on their feet. You will effectively help these families survive another day. And survive is no overstatement. It is really truly what they are they're praying for. And friends, as we can sit and have discussion on the Mike Gallagher show about all of the things that are going wrong in the world and certainly the things that we need to be fighting for, the innocence and the protection of these children are something that if we are truly pro -life people, we believe in. If we believe that abortion is bad, then we have to believe that starvation of children is also bad because God is not not respecting one form of death over the other. He wants us to be caring about our brothers and sisters. And I will tell you, as Paul made mention, I've traveled extensively with Food for the Poor in Haiti and in Jamaica and in another couple of places where they have been doing their work. I've seen the houses they've built. I've seen the water filtration systems where they did not have any clean water to drink and all of the diseases that come with polluted water. And then within the installation of a water filtration system just a year later, thriving, beautiful, joyous community with clean water every day. But food, water, the basics, that's what you're helping with with these emergency supplies. And as we made mention, we're just getting started in the hurricane season. This is the beginning of the rocky road, and we've already had some activity in the Caribbean just even over this last weekend. So please pick up the phone. Call 844 -860 -4673, 844 -860 -4673, or text the word Mike, M -I -K -E, for Mr. Gallagher, Mike Gallagher, Mike, M -I -K -E, to 911999. Paul, just spend a minute with me on the importance of the fact that Food for the Poor is a Christ -centered organization and seeks to do Jesus's work amongst the people that they work with. For more than 41 years and into our 42nd year, Food for the Poor has been working hand in hand with the local church. We've named a number of countries that Food for the Poor works in Latin America and the Caribbean. And as I stand here in our headquarter office in Coconut Creek, Florida, I tell you this, there is no way that 350 employees working in this vast big building could reach all of those communities and all of those areas of the world in this region where we work for these many four decades if it wasn't for the local church. Pastors on the ground, their compassion because they live in the communities where they're helping these families. Pastors and ministry partners that are committed, they don't just help these families, they stay and work alongside them to build these families back onto their feet. In fact, one of my favorite scriptures, and I've seen it live and in full effect, is Galatians 2 -10. It was a letter that Paul wrote to the Galatian church about the help and the need of families. It says, all that they asked was that we remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do all along. That is the passion by which you are fueling right now with your generous gift in these countries where Food for the Poor works. So please understand, yes, you're helping feed a child. Yes, you're helping deliver disaster relief items, but you're resourcing the local church to do what they do best, and that is help the physical body, but as well as the spirit. As a Bible -believing Christian, I don't believe that there are accidents. And friends, if you're listening today or you're watching us on the Salem News Channel, and a thought crosses your mind that you had not heard about this before, that's no accident. I fully believe that God intended for the people that needed to hear this to be here right now. And the truth is, there will be children who will not make it through this next hurricane season without these emergency supplies being pre -positioned in the areas where they will be needed. And friend, if you have the ability to do something, that's not by accident either. God is obviously trying to touch your heart and say, hey, get involved, do my work, help me be the satisfaction for these children, the supplier of their needs, if you will. 844 -860 -4673, 844 -860 -4673. But imagine, even in your own family, if it was you, if it was your child, and you knew that they were going to run the risk of starving this hurricane season, to what length would you go to express to the people that are listening right now, would you help us, can you help us, please help us? Those are the cries coming from the families, the children, and the people in Latin America and the Caribbean, where Food for the Poor is at work. Again, the number is 844 -860 -4673, 844 -860 -4673. You can also just text the word Mike, M -I -K -E, to 911999, 911999, text the word Mike, and you can get there. And if you want to go to MikeOnline .com, you can do that as well. The banner is at the top of the page. It's a big red one that says emergency supplies needed, and asking you to help out today. Paul Jacobs of Food for the Poor, thank you for what you're doing. Thank you for trying to inspire us to be involved. For what it's worth to the people of, listen, my family, the McCulloughs, we've given to Food for the Poor for almost two decades now. We love this organization, and we love what they're doing, and I've seen it with my own eyes do the good that Mike has been telling you about for these last many weeks. We're coming right back on The Mike Gallagher Show. Lots of news still to get to this morning, and lots more of your phone calls when we return. Stay here. Something has gone terribly wrong with the world economy. Before you lose faith, be sure to read the book, Life After Capitalism, now on sale from Regnery Publishing.
The Eric Metaxas Show
"kevin mccullough" Discussed on The Eric Metaxas Show
"Lots more to talk about on the debate on Tucker and Trump. Last night, Kevin McCullough is my guest. Kevin, what do you think is next with Donald Trump? Well, I'm actually a little concerned because if you if you look at history and how people have handled their public opponents there, especially during the Soviet era, there was a pattern to it. You know, they would they would try to disgrace you. They would try to embarrass you. They would try to shame you. If that doesn't work, they move to criminal prosecution. If that doesn't work, what comes next? In worlds like like Putin and she live in, they just have people killed. And my concern is that he is not is that is that he does not have the same secret service footprint that an active president would have. And I'm really, really concerned for his safety. I believe that these people, these terrible people that have cobbled this deep state kind of mentality together, have very ill intent. And they are committed to seeing their their viewpoints put across at all at every way possible. If willing to steal an election, Eric, what's the difference in that and just having your chief opponent off? I think that you mentioned before we went to break that people need to be praying for the president. I absolutely believe that. And I would like to see the Secret Service give him a handful more of officers with him where he goes. He's very, very he's he's very much the target of the of the other side right now. And I'm very, very concerned about his safety. I think it's because of prayer that he will not be killed. I but I do believe that they would love to do that. Look, let's be clear. The CIA and company did it to John F. Kennedy Jr.. That's no longer a conspiracy theory. That's the leading theory. If you are looking at the situation, there are nasty people who don't think twice about murder being a bad thing. They will do it if they need to. And that's what we're dealing with right now. And and and what you're talking about, too, is like you kind of think who in the deep state allied with China and George Soros and company, who would would love to do that and how would they do it? We don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised at all. In fact, I would be shocked if they weren't talking about it and planning it and trying to figure out would there be a way to get rid of them in this way, in a way that they could blame Putin or whatever it is. In other words, they would like to do it in such a way that would would would help them even more by blaming somebody they'd want to blame. Let's also be honest about the world view of the people that we are opposing right now. These are not people that assign to the human life the Imago Dei. These are not people that hold the same value to a human life that God holds. They hate and resist God. They don't want God's assignment for their sex at birth. They don't want God's gift of life through conception in their body. These are people that basically, you know, they've revolted against God and they say, we're going to try to undo every aspect of what of what you've given us. And so from that being the stated world view of where they're coming from, I don't have much trust in any moral clarity that they claim to have on any aspect of life. Would they protect innocent life in the case of a president? I'm not confident that AOC or Chuck Schumer or any of them would be if you got them on, you know, down to the honest truth. Would you be OK if somebody took them out? I don't I don't know that they would be offended at all. And that's what we're up against. We're up against a world view that is in distinct clash with the biblical world view that America was was based upon in our Judeo Christian heritage. Well, it's why they don't act. They don't they don't think that lying is wrong. So they lie on a level we've never seen. We've never seen anything like it. The lying. We've never, ever seen anything like the cheating, the willingness to cheat, the willingness to do everything, anything. They don't even have shame about it now. Like we've lost the ability to be embarrassed and ashamed of bad actions. And when a society gets to that point, you are in really deep trouble, because if you can see that the other side is willing to. What Hitler did, you know, just kill people based, you know, on whatever random reasons he wanted to. And everybody can go along with life and just be OK. That's that's a corrupt, decrepit, depraved world. And that is what modern day America is. We we have about 50 percent of the country that don't have a genuine moral worldview. Well, and again, this is this is how you separate the sheep from the goats, folks. If you don't have a a genuine belief in the in the God of the Bible and know that he is real and he is true and he is a judge, then why wouldn't you kill your opponents? Why wouldn't you lie? Why wouldn't you cheat? Why wouldn't you do anything you could? You would. And that's what people in history have done. We've never seen anything like it in America until now. And that's what we're up against. And so when you talk about, you know, fearing for Trump's life, I don't think there is any question that there are people now plotting his murder, his assassination. I just don't doubt it. The only question is, how would they do it? How could they do it? Where would they see an opening? But let's face it. He is their easiest path to victory. Killing him. Is it so? So they're doing all this other stuff. But if they could figure out a clever way to get away with it, that's the key is they could figure out a way, just as they did with JFK. You know, JFK, they did it and then they covered it up. We had the Warren Commission. We had all of these people who didn't want other things to come out. That's kind of what we're talking about. So it's a chilling thing. But prayer works. So we need to be in prayer for this president. I believe he's protected by the hand of God. But I believe that we all need to pray for him and for this nation. We'll be right back.

"John's Mirack said Chris Christie was hangry. I think that's a permanent state for Chris Christie, actually. I mean, but but honestly, it's look, Chris Christie is a is a is a nonissue. Let's be honest. He's a nonissue. I don't know why he's there as for people like Mike Pence. There is nothing more sickening than seeing someone pretend that everything's fine in America. Thanks in large part to Mike Pence. Everything couldn't be worse in America. We have an entire nation on fire. And when you are a candidate as wooden as Mike Pence in the midst of a conflagration, that's not a good place to be. Nobody is more wooden than Mike Pence. Asa Hutchinson, you know, close. But Mike Pence is wooden. He's he's dull. And the point is, there's a time for that. This is not that time. We are living in a time where the nation is in flames and we need to get back the rule of law. We need to take back the government from the globalist elites who are effectively communist authoritarians. If we don't get if you don't get that, that you have no reason to be on that debate stage. I do think that the Pence people understood that he can't be the affable Mike Pence of yesteryear anymore. But I don't think that the angry Mike Pence that came out last night did him any favors. I'm really sad about Mike Pence for a couple of reasons. I've known him and have had him on my show for more than 30 years. But at the end of the day, and he was a great congressman. Well, you know what? Forgive me for cutting you off. I am I am right where you are. It break Mike Pence breaks my heart. We'll be right back. We need your help with food for the poor. These people need your help. Metaxas talk dot com. God bless you. We're doing a campaign for food for the poor. Actually, I take that back. It begins today, Monday, July 31st. People who listen to this program know that we partner with food for the poor. They are total heroes. Food for the poor steps up because there is always there are always hurricanes flooding, other natural disasters at this time of year. So because of poverty or collapse infrastructure in a lot of these countries, by the way, in case you didn't know, America is an amazing country. These other countries do not have a lot of infrastructure. So we need to step up.

"To 200 million, let's say let's say 20 million people watched Fox, it was nowhere near that. No, let's say 20 million people watch the debate that is still 10 percent. We're not talking it is it is. It is a tidal wave. What Tucker and Trump did last night. It is hard for us to comprehend, because, again, when you think about how many people are watching Fox, how many people watching the debate, those numbers are so tiny compared to what Tucker and I mean, it's literally more than 10 times the amount. It is an astonishing, crushing thing. And I think what we saw last night, Kevin, we got to say this. It's the end of old media. This is the this is it's been happening for years. We are now there where Tucker was a graveyard last night that had many bodies being buried in it. The old media, which now Fox News sadly kind of fits into the category of is one of them. But it was also Rhonda Santas's last stand, and he failed the test. Mike Pence is not going to be anywhere near the discussion by the time we hit to Iowa and New Hampshire. Chris Christie is just a flagrant, belligerent, you know, horrible human being trying to make a muck of whatever he can. This was this was a watershed moment for the nonconformist, nonparty, loyal, non donor base section of the country. And all you have to do is see the numbers.

"Welcome back. Talking to Kevin McCulloch. Kevin, what's happening to Donald Trump? It's just beyond belief. Where do you think this goes? Well, I think and it's interesting that you ask, because what I try to do not being an attorney, I try to talk to really, really smart ones. And so last week, on the same day that the indictment came down, I had former prosecutor and impeachment manager, Congressman Bob Barr from Georgia, and followed him up with a conversation with Alan Dershowitz. And you could not come from two different philosophical viewpoints any further on the on the spectrum than that. And yet they both had a very similar and I would say very common understanding of what's going on with the former president. And that is he's being railroaded and that this is this is a mockery to our system of justice on multiple levels. Dershowitz is the more seasoned courtroom veteran. So I asked him, you know, where where does this where does this land? And he said, well, I expect that in the very biased regions of places like New York and Washington, D.C., that there will be a conviction or two on some of the charges. Now, you got to understand they have like a phone book of charges that they've thrown at him. I mean, it's they're not even I mean, it's so cartoonish in just the sheer magnitude of what they're doing. But beyond that, they're going to get biased jurors and they're going to have a pretty easy time getting people that don't like Donald Trump to say that he did something wrong. What Dershowitz thinks happens is depending on the pace of the trial, there will be an immediate appeal and that once you get past the kind of clown courts of the lowest level, you're talking to the circuit court and maybe even the Supreme Court. And from there, Jack Smith is going to have a really hard time proving some of the things that he's not going to have to prove nearly as well in the lower court. And it's going to dig into some of the stuff that the president has never let go of. For instance, in the D.C. January 6th indictment, I don't know if Jack Smith realized this, but he has now opened up the entire U.S. government to discovery on the motion of how the security was handled for January 6th, on how the elections were executed in 2020, how the how the Mark Zuckerberg boxes came to be in places that they shouldn't have been and how state state procedures were just changed without any ballots or voting or anything, just random decisions made by people that supposedly had the power to do it. All of that gets to go on to discovery. So do the 51 national security experts that supposedly told some, you know, sign the letter that said that the laptop from hell was just it was just Russian disinformation. For the first time, Donald Trump's going to have the opportunity or his team is going to have the opportunity to do actual discovery that cannot be avoided by the other side. And it's Dershowitz's opinion that it may not be an easy road to getting there, but that if and when that all occurs, that what you're going to see is an exposing of a lot of this evil doing, deep state administrative state junk that has happened. And it's actually going to be kind of healthy for the country. He also doesn't believe that it's going to be in any way hindrance to Donald Trump, at least in the primary. He's not. He's less sure about how it's going to affect them in the in the general election. Well, I just I find it funny that anybody's running against him, particularly Mike Pence.And can I just say for a second, I used to have immense respect for Mike Pence. And I worked with him when he was a congressman. I championed a lot of his legislation and stuff. The man has gone nuts. I do not know what's wrong with him. But to come out and be and have you noticed this thing? He's even like holding his arms like this when he does a press conference. Now he's got his hands on his hips and his shoulders raised like he's some sort of tough guy. And I'm like, dude. You didn't like the fact that he wanted to try out that novel theory. You declined to do it. That's all well and good. But the rest of this, I have no idea. I would have probably done the same thing Pence did for what it's worth. I would have probably not sent electors back to the states because I don't think legally that the footing was there. Well, that doesn't mean that what he's doing now makes any sense. We're at a time. Kevin, we love you. Thanks for coming on, folks. Don't forget, you've got to go to Metaxas talk dot com and give to food for the poor. We need your help. Thank you.

"Welcome back folks talking to Kevin McCullough, you know him as both Stradamus. Hey Kevin, I want to talk to you a little bit about Trump, but before that you were you brought something up at the end of the last segment. Please continue along that line. Well, so there's this region that is in Azerbaijan that is completely wholly surrounded by Azerbaijan territory, but it is a it is an ancient land that belongs to Armenia and in the in the geopolitical region Russia and Syria and Turkey and all of these countries that have you know, oil interests or other things in the region have always tried to manipulate the chess pieces between Armenia and Azerbaijan and for your viewers and listeners that may not know Armenia is one of the oldest Christian populations on planet Earth. You're saying Armenia. I think you mean Armenia Armenia. Yes. And that's what I said just had no no, I just want to be very clear Armenia is in fact, yes, go ahead. Sorry. Yeah. So and this this this area that's surrounded is called Nagorno-Karabakh. It used to be connected to the Armenian homeland, but it is it has been since engulfed by Azerbaijan and for about the last I want to say 180 days 160 to 180 days. The Azerbaijanis have completely cut off all things going to and from Nagorno-Karabakh from Armenia and why do we care about this? Well, the people that live in Nagorno-Karabakh, which is one of this one of the oldest Christian sites on planet Earth all happen to be Armenian Christians and the Azerbaijanis are largely sympathetic to the Muslims of the region and there's this desire to just take over that region completely. So they have set about an old-fashioned Old Testament siege where they're not allowing food medicine clean water anything to get in there and the the governments of the world have largely looked the other way because everyone's got their own interests. But in recent weeks former senator and Ambassador Sam Brownback and Baroness Caroline Cox from the UK upper house have both spoken out on behalf of those that are trapped in Nagorno-Karabakh and they are asking the governments to to understand what's happening here and to either put some sort of sanction on Azerbaijan at the very minimum stop selling them weapons that they can use against the Armenians that are there and the US is guilty of that as is Israel and a couple of other people, but there's there's just a short list of things that they would like the rest of the world to do that they believe would ease the pressure and allow Nagorno-Karabakh life to go back to normal. There's this main road that connects Armenia all the way into the city and they have basically blockaded that for the last four to five months and that is the problem that that is preventing the medicines and the food and the other things from getting in and out. So my request would be that your listeners call their congressman and ask them to proactively advocate for the trapped Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh and there is a piece of legislation that Nicole Malliotakis and a handful of other Congress people have put together that needs to come forward and it needs to get passed but it's going to have a harder time in the Senate. But that's where Ambassador Brownback and the UK upper member Caroline Cox. The Baroness is speaking out about this. We've covered it on my show a little bit, but there's a lot more awareness that needs to be raised about it. You could bring it up in your churches. You could bring it up with your friends. But if you call Congress and say to your to your congressional member, we need to do something to help the Christians that are trapped there. That's the that's the most significant help that you could bring right now. And I have a phone number that they could use to make that call if they wished. It's 202-224-3121, 202-224-3121. Those of you watching Eric's show may have noticed I didn't need to look that up. That is the capital switchboard. I've given that phone number on my show more often than any other phone number in the history of phone numbers because I want people to be in touch with their elected leaders on a regular basis. And if you get that switchboard, you can just say, I need to speak with Congresswoman so-and-so or Congressman so-and-so. They connect you right through. You talk to their office. They take down the subject of your call and kind of what you're asking them to do. And they review those logs every single day. 202-224-3121, but raise the issue for the area called Nagorno-Karabakh. It's a very kind of strange name, but it's it's it is so important. And these and these people are trapped there and they've been without food, water, medicine and other things for going on six months. And we need to do something to help 202-224-3121. I only know about Nagorno-Karabakh and the situation because of Baron Baroness Caroline Cox. I've known her for years. She is one of the heroes. She is a true hero in in in English government. She's in the House of Lords. She was appointed by Lady Thatcher, Prime Minister Thatcher, to be in the House of Lords. She's a warrior. You should have her back on your show. She's really fighting this very, very patriotically. Baroness Caroline Cox. And of course, Sam Brownback, whom I saw a few months ago. But it's hard for us to take in sometimes how many problems there are in the world. And this is why, folks, you have to look to God to guide you. Because you can't be fighting every battle. You can't be putting out every fire, but we all need to be doing something. And you have to ask God to lead you if you're interested in bringing up the issue of these persecuted Armenian Christians. Again, the number is 202-224-3121, 202.

Kevin McCullough Shares Hope in Battling Nutty Gender Laws
"To Kevin McCullough, you know him as votes, Tridamus and Kevin, you were just talking about how even in states like California, that there is hope on on on the craziness of this gender stuff. There's more hope than there used to be in those states. Washington and California would both go to the Ninth Circuit. It's a little bit better than it used to be because Trump put about a third of the judges there. They're still two thirds to a third. Nuts to common sense folks. We've got we've got to deal with some issues there, but likely any case that would come out of that circuit would go to the Supreme Court. And I feel very good about where these types of cases land at the Supreme Court as they have done nothing but back religious liberties and religious freedom and religious exercise since this current court has been put together. And that's even since the addition of Katani Jackson. So you've got you've got a good foundation for jurisprudence. It's going to go in the direction of the families in the Michigan law. If it decide if they if someone decides to bring litigation against it, it will end up, guess where, in the Sixth Circuit, which has already put two pieces of precedent down backing children and parents. So we've got reason to hope that even these nuttiest of nutty laws can be overturned and put in to a better situation. But to your point from last segment, if people are listening to you or watching you in California right now, you can't withdraw from the fight. You've got to engage. Same with Washington State, same with Michigan. The election's going to be here before you know it. I can't believe how fast it's coming. And yet, you know, these types of issues are going to be on the ballot. They were on the ballot last time. Nobody paid attention to it. Not really. Joe Biden said he was going to do some of this stuff. He was going to force the transgender stuff onto the schools like he did and so forth. But he didn't make a big deal about it. And nobody talked about it. Now we've had three years of nothing but that being implemented. And parents across the country have freaked out about it. And that's why we saw some of the school boards have a red wave in 22 and not a lot of other places did.

"This is demonic stuff. The idea that anyone would pretend that, oh, there's all this confusion on sex, on gender. We need to ask kids, what do they think? Ladies and gentlemen, that is insane and evil. We are male and female in God's image. So this idea that there's a question now and that beyond that lunacy, you have the force of government trying to take children away from their parents. Look, they did this. They did this in the Soviet Union. I was about to say this isn't the 1950s Stalinist Soviet bloc countries. This is America in 2023. Well, look, I want to again, because I wrote this book letter to the American church or why did I write I wrote the book because where I what I'm thinking on this, it is the complacency, the inaction, the silence of the church that has allowed these things to happen. You didn't vote or you voted for Gretchen Whitmer or you voted for Gavin Newsom or you voted for Joe Biden. You have to see the wickedness of these policies. If you do not get involved politically, if you don't vote, if you don't understand that it's it's between you and there's nobody else, there's you, there's only you. And when I hear these things, Kevin, I just think it sounds like we're making it up. It sounds like somebody is making up the craziest thing that they could come up with in that moment, that if you don't use a certain gender, if you don't use a pronoun and you think our whole lives, we haven't had to deal with this. This came out of nowhere and suddenly, oh, it's a big thing. Oh, well, I just want to make this point. You had Roger Stone on earlier. And the idea of Trump being brought up on all these charges and very gulag, Soviet style, kind of, you know, arresting your opponent and all this stuff. And there's there's a lot of, you know, rolling of the eyes. And, you know, Mike Pence comes out always above the Constitution, all this other garbage. Friends, this is plain and simple. If Trump had not been president for the four years that he had been, we would not have the judges making the decisions going in the direction opposing some of this stuff that we have now for everybody that said. But he tweeted mean things and he said mean things. And he campaigned in a rough style. And I didn't think it was very nice or polite. Well, the enemy is not playing nice and polite. The enemy is playing to take your children away from you and to turn them literally into something that is a suicidal monster. The enemy doesn't care about your child, and they're not playing nice with you. So who's going to, to your point, Eric, step into the fight when they need to, because it is happening. It is on.

Statewide Ban on Gender Reassignment Surgeries Sparks Controversy
"Kevin, what should we talk about first? You've written a couple of articles at townhall dot com. What's the first thing? Well, the the thing I wrote about this week, and I'm really passionate about it, and it did not get a lot of fanfare anywhere else. And that is that the sixth circuit court, which is the Court of Appeals just under the Supreme Court for the second time in as many rulings, has backed complete statewide bans on gender reassignment surgeries, cross sex hormones and puberty blockers for teens, for children in their state. First, they ruled in the case of Tennessee, and it was a two one favor in favor of that. And they just ruled on a Connecticut case that was similar, but it went further two to one as well. And this is one of those courts where Trump got some judges on the bench and good things are happening as a result of that. Now, it's interesting because in those two states, you have very different kinds of outcomes on that particular issue than you do in the states of Washington and California. And if you'll just indulge me for a second, California and Washington are both as busily as they can passing legislation to not only insist that those procedures and resources be made available to children, but that if parents don't go so far as to affirm that those children have the rights and the access and should be given those resources when they are asked to or what have you, that they actually want to see children taken away from their parents. And they're busy putting that into legislation that would go so far as to remove kids and put them into the protective custody of the state if they don't if they don't affirm, you know, this kind of crazy idea. It's not the protective custody of state is the abuse of I would call it the abuse of the protective custody of their parents, mom and dad.

"Folks, welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit Legacy PM investments dot com. That's Legacy PM investments dot com. Welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show. We'll get you from point A to point B. But if you're looking for point C, well, buddy, you're on your own. But if you wait right here in just about two minutes, the bus to point C will be coming right by. And now here's your Ralph Cramden of the airwaves. Eric Mataxas. Hey there, folks. It's Monday. Chris Himes, I believe it's Monday in your world as well. It is. Happy Monday. We're in the same time zone. It's Monday, August 7th. I have a book deadline this month. I am writing the sequel to Letter to the American Church. I want to be very clear that when I'm on a book deadline, life is a little tough and it's really tough to go from being in Greece on vacation to being on a book writing deadline. It's just a little harsh. So anybody out there who is an intercessor, I covet your intercession on my behalf. This is tough. And also, I take it very seriously in the sense that Letter to the American Church was a very serious book. The sequel is a very serious follow up, because we are in a crisis in America. And it's my contention in letter to the American Church and in this other book. And wherever I speak, that this is an unprecedented crisis. If you're young, you might not realize, but if the older you are, the more you realize that what we're going through in this country right now is unprecedented. utterly We've never lived through anything like this. You have to go back to the Civil War to find something as insane as what we're going through. And in many ways, it's worse because of the cultural upheaval, because of where we are. It's just crazy. And so the other day we aired my interview with Dutch Sheets. He's somebody that I said I rely on as an encouragement to me during these times to get perspective. Same thing with Mike Thompson. Mike Thompson is phenomenal, had him on this program many times. But we're we're going through some some hard things and stuff to process and writing this book, the new book, the sequel to letter to the American Church. It's a real spiritual assignment. I feel that God has given me. And so I ask your prayers. I want to talk. Both hours today about what's going on in the country. About the recent Trump indictment and about my experience with Donald Trump. I had an experience with Donald Trump last week at the end of last week. I was with him. We talked hard to believe I'm saying that, but it's true. And I will give you the details such as I'm able to do in a few minutes. We will also have as my guest today, Roger Stone, who's very close with the president, and he'll give us his insight on where things are. And we'll talk to our friend Kevin McCullough. Some of you know him as votes, Tridamus. And Kevin is always amazing. So it's it's great to be back and to be able to talk to those friends and to get some perspective on what's going on in the country. But before I tell you about my personal experience with Donald Trump, I want to remind you that this month, uh, two things. First of all. If you know about Nutrimedics this month only, they do this once in a blue moon, 30 percent off, if you use the code Eric Nutrimedics dot com. I'll keep mentioning that I use their stuff every day. Half of their profits go to third world missions. These are heroes. Nutrimedics, that's M -E -D -A -X Nutrimedics dot com. 30 percent off of the code Eric this month. Also this month, we're doing our annual campaign, summer campaign with Food for the Poor. It's important that everyone participate. And I'm going to hit this hard until some of you are going to cry because it's the serious stuff. But let me read let me read something to focus you on the Food for the Poor. And by the way, you go to Metaxas Talk dot com to to give. That's the easiest way. But let me just read something. It says researchers at Colorado State University are predicting that the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season season will be worse than average. OK, these are weather experts at Colorado State University are saying that the hurricane season will be worse than normal with at least 18 major storms and several powerful hurricanes making landfall in a number of the 17 countries that Food for the Poor helps with emergency relief. One of those countries is El Salvador, where Food for the Poor's ministry partner on the ground is a woman named Carla. We have a clip from Carla with Food for the Poor who's in El Salvador. Let's play that clip. Because El Salvador ranked as one of the top 10 most vulnerable countries worldwide. So the well -being of the most vulnerable population is always threatened. On a yearly basis, we understand this is going to be a recurring problem in El Salvador. So having your support give us a lot of confidence that we can face struggles and support the vulnerable population without delays. OK, so that's the point. The reason we need you to give now is because they need to be in place so that when these tragedies strike, which they do every year and as we just heard, looks like it's going to be worse this year, that they're ready to go. OK, so in hurricane targets, places like Honduras, Jamaica, Guatemala, other places, so that they're preparing civil defense and emergency relief plans, they're doing that already. OK, these countries are doing that already. But we need your help in this campaign to help make those preparations a reality. We need your money. We ask you to give to Food for the Poor because we believe in them as an organization. So when a community is devastated by a hurricane, or by flooding or another natural disaster, the need is immediate, immediate. So families are left without the most basic supplies. Food for the Poor steps up every time they're a Christian relief organization, but they need you to help them. So you have to go to MetaxasTalk .com. I'm urging you to head over to MetaxasTalk .com now to make a generous gift to help the poorest of the poor in our hemisphere by emergency prepositioning disaster relief supplies in key areas. Food for the Poor can immediately dispatch emergency relief supplies when a hurricane strikes without warning for folks. We don't know where they're going to strike. We know that they will. I just mentioned it. That's why we're doing this campaign this month to get ahead of it. OK, so $100 helps provide emergency kits, including tarps, first aid, hygiene supplies, blankets. $240 helps provide emergency kits, along with many weeks of food and water. But whatever you give, we need your help now. Today, please go to MetaxasTalk .com. Click on the Emergency Relief Supplies banner, or you can text Eric. That's my name. I accept it as my name. E .R .I .C. text Eric to nine one nine nine nine. That's text Eric to nine one nine nine nine. Or you can phone your most generous gift to eight four four eight six three hope. I hope some of you will do that right now because we do need your help. Eight four four eight six three hope again. It's eight four four eight six three hope. And Erica was four eight six three hope. Erica, I was going to mention we're we're raising funds with the other Salem hosts and not that it's a competition, but it's a competition because we get there. Kicking our butt. Yeah, no, I mean, they hate to hate to bring that up. Listen, every day they send us like, how much has your audience given? And I don't know how, but some some of these hosts seem to have a knack for this. Maybe they talk about it all the time. I, I, I don't know how to do this other than to bring it up at the beginning of the hour and mention it throughout the hour. But we just need your help. Folks, what can I tell you? Texas? Yeah, I think it's possible they could be giving to their own shows themselves. And, you know, yes, maybe they're millionaires and they just give out of their own pockets or something to get the numbers up. I don't know. But you know what I will say? I'll say this. I'll say this before I tell my crazy Trump anecdote, which I guess I'll have to do after the break. But I want to say that. We want everyone to give something. So you have no excuse. You can give something, please. These people suffer, OK? And so we partner with Food for the Poor because we just know that they're dependable and helping. But I also want to say that every time I do a campaign, I throw this out there in case there's anybody that wants to give $10 ,000 or more, anybody who can give that tax deductible. Of course, I offer to spend the evening with you. We can have dinner anywhere. You know, if you do that, you buy the dinner, you invite whoever you want. And I just show up and we can spend the evening together. I've met some of the most dear friends by doing this. It's kind of crazy. But if anybody wants to do that, I just put that out there that we will arrange it and we can have spend the evening together. It's a delightful thing. When we come back, I'm going to talk more about Food for the Poor. And I'm going to tell you what happened with Donald Trump and me the other day. Really crazy. Stick around. We're doing a campaign for Food for the Poor. People who listen to this program know that we partner with Food for the Poor. They are total heroes. Food for the Poor steps up because there is always there are always hurricanes flooding other natural disasters at this time of year. So because of poverty or collapse infrastructure in a lot of these countries. By the way, in case you didn't know, America is an amazing country. These other countries do not have a lot of infrastructure. So we need to step up. Those of us who have the ability to step up, I want to encourage you to go to MetaxasTalk .com and give what you can. Let's get a good start. Go to MetaxasTalk .com. Do what you can or just text Eric to nine one nine nine nine. Please do this.

And I honestly fear that if we do not win, the nation will step off into a thousand years of darkness. Yes, it's a spiritual battle. But when I say that, I'm attacked by media matters for America. When I say that those who oppose us, who are admittedly atheists, when I say they are demonic or satanic, I am attacked for drawing that bright line. Ask me how much it bothers me. I don't really care what they think. I only care what he thinks. And I was not always this way, as you know. But Jesus Christ can do anything. And among the things that I'm praying for him to do is to save this nation and to put Donald Trump back in the White House. No, sorry. We don't worship Donald Trump. Nice try. That's not what we're saying. But I do believe that he is the man described by Kim Clement. I do believe he is the right time, the right man for the right times, for these times. And I think now he's even more dangerous to them than he was in his first term. Because when he first came to Washington with no background in politics, he kind of took everything at face value. Well, there's the Republicans, there's the Democrats, the Republicans are for me. They're with me. The Democrats are good. Little did he know that half the Republicans, maybe more than half of the leadership level, were working with the Democrats to frame him in the Russian collusion fraud. We now know definitively, without any question, that there was never any evidence whatsoever of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. There was never any probable cause for the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel for the for the approval of FISA warrants to spy on Donald Trump's campaign or for the opening of the FBI's crossfire hurricane farce. The whole thing was a very expensive hoax designed to destroy Donald Trump and drive him from power. We've got to leave it there. Go to stonezone.com. Roger Stone, we love you. Thank you for your time. Thank you, Eric. God bless you. We're doing a campaign for food for the poor. People who listen to this program know that we partner with food for the poor. They are total heroes. Food for the poor steps up because there is always there are always hurricanes flooding other natural disasters at this time of year. So because of poverty or collapsed infrastructure in a lot of these countries. By the way, in case you didn't know, America is an amazing country. These other countries do not have a lot of infrastructure. So we need to step up.

That's LegacyPMInvestments.com. Welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show. They say it's a thin line between love and hate, but we're working every day to thicken that line, or at least make it a double or triple line. Now, here's your line jumping host, Eric Mataxas. Folks, welcome to Hour Two. We've got Kevin McCullough coming up. You know him as Vodstradamus. But we continue our conversation with the great Roger Stone. Roger, you are a veteran of 13 national presidential campaigns over the years. It's amazing to me. You've seen it all. But I know you've never seen anything like this, which leads me to to ask you. Well, I'll first say I believe we're in an existential crisis for the soul of this nation, and this nation is the bellwether nation on planet Earth. We have held the torch of liberty high. It's been challenged a number of times. We are in one of those moments where if we do not prevail in restoring this nation, I think it's over, generally speaking. It's the end times and it's here comes the antichrist. So I'm not kidding. There are a lot of Christians who already think we're already there. Why bother fighting? I think that's despicable. But when I see people so-called Christians like Mike Pence furthering these narratives about January 6th, it is it's deeply sickening to me that people like Mike Pence or Bill Barr would go along with this establishment narrative that a bunch of Trump supporters wanted to overthrow the government. It is so preposterous, but you have high level figures going along with it. Do you think the truth will come out about January six? So much of it already has, but it hasn't been covered on Fox News. Only Tucker has had the guts. What do you think? No, in fact, as I understand it, Fox News specifically censored those very meaningful comments by the Capitol Hill police chief, in which he himself says the whole thing was a setup. To me, that's news and newsworthy. But I think it's important people understand that there is a an establishment media cabal. First of all, it's bipartisan. It's the two party duopoly, the elites of both parties, whose only interest is in money, power and getting reelected. And they are in bed with the major mainstream media. The jackals, I call them. And they continually push a completely fraudulent narrative about virtually everything, whether it's vaccinations, whether it's January 6th, whether it's the result of the 2020 election. Once they decide on a narrative, regardless of how absurd that narrative may be, you really have to search to find the truth. That's why programs like this one are so extraordinarily important. Look, Eric, I read your book, Letter to the American Church. It's a terrific book. It inspired me. I think you're absolutely right. This is the last beacon of freedom. This is the last of hope for freedom in the world. And there are globalists, those who favor one world government who would like to move us to the new world order, who would like to snuff it out. Now, when you say that, like I do, like you do, like it's like, say, my friend General Michael Flynn does. Oh, you're a bigot. You're a racist. You're a white supremacist. You're a hater. No, they are the haters. They are the haters. It is. It's the oldest trick in the book. It comes out right out of Alinsky's rules for radicals. Always accuse your opponent of that, which you yourself are actually doing. Oh, no, this is. And again, I always think of young people, they they have no context for this. But if you've been around for a little while, you realize we have never seen anything like this. We when when people compare things, for example, the Watergate, what a joke. Watergate is a kid, you know, sticking gum under the desk compared to a kid bringing a gun to school and shooting his classmate in the face. What we're dealing with right now is is so beyond Watergate, so beyond anything we have ever seen in this country. And I think part of the problem, Roger, is that it's tough for people to process. People can't turn that corner and realize that we're in a moment that is is unprecedented. We want to all believe that we can just go back to the way it was a couple of years ago somehow to being ignorant and everything's fine. And, you know, we it takes something and I and I think what you said, I mean, with the deep state overplaying its hand, with the forces of evil, the globalists overplaying their hands so dramatically because Donald Trump so unhinges them that more and more people are thinking, wait a minute. What what did he say? What did she say? Something is it's a new day, basically. And so I think we're in a battle to wake up those who may be awakened. And of course, my letter to the American church book, to my mind, it ought to be the church should be out in front of this. And there have been tremendous numbers of utterly gutless. Cowardly leaders in the church who don't who don't want to talk about this stuff, who want to somehow be above the fray, as though you could be above the fray if slavery was on the dock. And you can say, well, I can't mention that you should vote for Lincoln. I don't want to take a position on slavery. That's kind of where we are. It doesn't make any sense. No, I think it's exactly true. Those who who launched the most vicious attacks on me and General Flynn and Eric Trump and others who have taken part in the reawaken America tour events around the country come from Protestant ministers who won't criticize the trans agenda, who don't want to get involved in politics. They're the ones who unleash the most vicious personal attacks on us. No, we are not Christian nationalists. We're Christians. We believe in Jesus Christ. We're nationalists. We love our country and believe it is based on Christian principles, says in our money in God we trust. No, they still haven't been able to get that off there, have they? Although God knows they're certainly going to try.

Kevin McCullough Unpacks the Church's Mixed LGBTQ+ Messages
"Just passed on Park Avenue coming to the studio. St. Bart's Episcopal Church, which is then at the forefront of gay rights. They've got a monster gay rights flag, pride flag, whatever they call it, hanging outside the building. They've been at the forefront of this. But a Catholic church, one of the most wealthy Catholic churches in America, Loyola on Park Avenue, has a pride symbol talking about we welcome our, you know, I don't know how it says LGBTQ, you know, brothers and sisters. And I thought this is a mixed message. This is this is a Catholic church, which would typically stand firm on the basics of doctrine, basically saying, well, we're we're looking the other way now on this. We're sending a message. So it's kind of everywhere. And it's a challenge to, you know, to those of us who hold to biblical values within the Catholic Church and outside of the Catholic Church. And then just folks who don't go to church, but who say, you know what, that's not something I feel like celebrating. Why do I have to celebrate it? You know, what's interesting, Eric, is that the church and when I use the church this at this point in time, I'm meaning the kind of the corporate entity known as the church, not necessarily the body of believers. But you've seen the church be co -opted by the LGBTQ message in the last couple of years in fairly significant ways to the degree that you're pointing out. Although American episcopals have been off the reservation on, you know, the moral authority of God's word for a while. So they don't really recognize biblical tenets as being doctrine and so forth. But what's interesting about this is that it's the pastors who want to speak truthfully are going to have to do so more than ever before. And they're going to have to do it in a way that's that's

Kevin McCullough Reacts to the News of the Day
"On your mind right now? We're going through a lot. So where shall we start? Well, so many world events over the weekend. The attempted mutiny that some are saying wasn't won in Russia, et cetera. But kind of close to home here is where my thoughts and heart were yesterday. And let me give you two competing scenarios. In New York, you have the conclusion of the beginning of the final week of what's called Pride Month here in the city. And so all of the forces gathered together for their public displays and parades and so forth. And one of the big chants that came out of the the activities was, we're here, we're queer, and we're coming for your kids. Now, that's picture A. In box B, yesterday morning, I'm sitting at about 1045 in the morning in the middle of our worship service. And my 13 year old is confessing his public declaration of trusting Jesus as his savior, being baptized, dead and buried with Christ, raised to new life in him. And I am rejoicing, welling up with tears at the beauty of what God has done in his own life. Eric, if there's not a more compelling side by side contrast of what evil wants to do and what we as Christians have not only the real privilege of being in terms of parents, but of the sacredness of that vow, that oath, that commitment that God charges us with to love and protect them. I don't know of a more clear picture that I could see in my head. And let me just say this. When the forces of evil say over and over again, and on my Instagram today, I had 15 different headlines that all quoted what the guys were saying in New York yesterday. If evil shows its head and says this is what it wants to do, history tells us it's best that we believe it.

The Energy Secretary Is Decapitating National Defense
"An energy secretary that's willing to literally decapitate the ability to defend ourselves as a nation and call it something for the greater good for the good of green energy for the good of and even green energy itself is based in a false notion that God created a world, but he can't sustain it. Scripture says that not only did God create this world, but that it is sustained by his word alone. Meaning that until God says the end of the world is here, it's not going to be here. So I'm not sure that I need to worry about Jennifer Granholm's assessment of any of that. Now, what's Paul's response in second Timothy three when he says in these days, this is all going to come. Go over to chapter four. He says, therefore, I solemnly charge you in the presence of God who judges the living from the dead, preach the word, in season and out of season, preach the word. In other words, tell the truth. No matter how difficult it gets, no matter how much the culture may push back against it, speak the truth, live the truth, be the truth, but that's our calling here, Eric. You do this every day on your show. You call your people to walk in this kind of manner, but the apostle Paul is calling us to do it the same way. And why? Because we are in the time when good will be called evil, evil be called good and without God's church on the planet, there's no restraining force against that evil's advance. That's what we're here for. While we're here, we are to do his work until the lord returns. Well, that's a really beautiful summation of where all of this takes us because

Kevin McCullough and Eric Catch Up on the Latest NY Subway Menace
"Yesterday I wrote the subway here in New York, the subway is basically no, no. This nonsense. It's basically safe. It's a vast, you know, it's like saying, there's crime in America. Like, yeah, where in America and the news focuses on whatever the horrible incident. And there are every once in a while horrible incidents recently, we did have one. You wrote a little bit about it. You've spoken about it. You want to talk about it. I haven't written about it, but it is the top story here locally in New York. And I think it's important to discuss nationally from this perspective. When you advocate for policies that take police out of cities, and you expect the crime in your city to not change, you're kind of an idiot. Kind of like the energy department secretary, thinking that we could just plug into batteries and have our military go across sandy deserts with no problem. If you're a smart investor, now's the time to invest in crime. Well, that's true. But so there's this big story here locally where on the train the other night on one of the subway lines, there was a man who was menacing people. You know how tight subway cars are. There's two basically rose along the wall and then there's strap hangers in the middle and people that try to get past and so forth. This guy was menacing the people on his car. He made some threatening remarks as though he was going to hurt people. And as was necessary, a young retired marine 24 years of age stepped up and stopped him. In fact, there were two other people that when they saw the marine jump into motion, they helped hold him down as well. And he was pretty strong because it took all three of them to get him down to the ground. And the marine put him in a choke hold. Eventually, he did pass out, like black out, and we train our military to do this, by the way, to put people in choke holds and make them black out without killing them. But later, when he was taken to the hospital, he did die. Now, AOC has come out and called this murder. Mayor Adams has said, wait a minute, we don't know the details of this yet. Do not call this murder if it's not murder. And Alvin Bragg, as much as I've been on his case in recent weeks, has said the same thing as the mayor, which I think is the responsible thing to say. But here's what's gone down. This man that was harassing the people on that train had a current warrant out for his arrest. He'd been arrested 40 times in the last two years, and all of them were for assaulting more or less strangers in public.

Kevin McCullough and Eric Discuss the Elites' War on Common Sense
"And gentlemen, this is the death by murder of common sense. You do not need to be very smart to have common sense basic wisdom about why you have a military why you have a police force. Why you have a government that there are men and there are women. All of these things are basic, they're true. If you have common sense, you understand them, but we now have cultural elites who are effectively at war with common sense at war with reality at war with nature and at war with nature's God. We have to understand they have essentially lost their minds. They've lost the ability to think rationally. We have allowed them to take power and they are destroying our country. And when you share that with me, Kevin, it doesn't seem possible. That this is real. But I know it is real. What you just shared with me is real that there are people that ignorant and foolish, quote unquote, leading our nation, leading us. But they're even proud about the foolishness. This is the really kind of insane thing. It's not just that they have a bad idea. It's that they believe that that bad idea is superior and that you and I and people that actually think about these things and kind of process them and then try to put a plus B plus C together and come up with whatever it is. We can't decipher what they're actually saying because none of it's based on actual fact. And so we're the rubes because we're asking the questions and they're not supposed to be questioned. Secretary Granholm was very dismissive of senator Ernst issue. And all senator Ernst said was, I don't want the lethality of our military to be lessened by even one ounce. And that's the right position to have. We haven't imagined this needs to be said. Can we even imagine why not just abolish the military? I mean, if you don't understand the point of having a military, why have a military

I don't honestly know if you can do this, but I'm sure that there's a lot of colleges that are gonna be expressing opinions about it, but they want him to just cancel $50,000 in student loan desk that debt by executive action. Just, you know, just write an executive order saying I Joe Biden cancel $50,000 worth of student loan debt. Now, how does that work? Because if you were a student, and you took out a loan, and you made a contract with the college that you were going to pay this back over this amount of time at this interest rate for this amount of That's a legally binding contract. How can how can something that a president? Just like? You know, Rights czar? I'm just going to do this. How does that hold any any weight bearing to the contract that you signed? As a loan. Sign me. I know that it's really popular, particularly with young people to have this idea that the president's going to come in and just cancel student loans. My friends. I don't I don't see any moral way that that can be done. Refinancing them, giving them better terms to pay them off. Maybe giving them the ability to pay early and have some loan forgiveness. Something like that. But if you if you just come in and say, OK, it's all done. Then morally speaking, you're going to owe a refund to everybody who paid off their student loans. And who's going to do that? Where.
