00:01:54.440 Hello, everyone. How's everybody doing? I know you're surprised to see me again,

00:02:07.000 but Allie is traveling and asked me to step in for her today, and I'm always happy to do that.

00:02:14.320 My name is Ron Simmons. We're going to talk about several things today that are,

00:02:18.740 you know, they're serious stuff, and we have serious stuff going on in the world today.

00:02:23.160 We know that the Iran war is still going on. I do want to do a quick shout out to our friends in Australia who are giving five of the Iranian ladies soccer team asylum because evidently they did something in either a photo or a video clip that showed some defiance.

00:02:44.460 and they were worried about their safety if they went back to Iran.

00:02:49.080 So things are going on there.

00:02:51.440 You know, they have named a new supreme leader,

00:02:54.840 which, boy, I sure wouldn't want my name out in the public.

00:02:57.480 You can bet that our friends from Israel are already looking for that guy.

00:03:01.500 And evidently, he's the son of the former one that just passed away

00:03:05.980 and is as radical, if not more radical, than his father was.

00:03:12.020 So it's okay. We're going to finish the job. We've already crippled their military might, no matter what they say.

00:03:19.920 They're trying to do some stuff in the Strait of Hormuz, which is at the bottom of Iran, that kind of has shipping going through there.

00:03:27.860 But we're going to get all that straightened out. We'll talk about the economic implications of that a little bit later in the show.

00:03:33.780 But what I want to talk about starting out is there was a terrorist attack in New York City and something that we've heard before in our lifetimes, for sure, and something that if we all remember 9-11, how many of our fellow Americans that were murdered on that day.

00:03:51.800 But this was a really more of a scare.

00:03:56.560 Luckily, no one was injured any seriously at all.

00:04:00.580 And on March the 7th, which was just last this past Saturday on the Upper East Side, where the mayor's mansion is, they call it Gracie Mansion.

00:04:10.500 There was a protest going on by a group of about 20 people that was a don't let Islam take over our country.

00:04:19.220 And then there was a counter protest called Stop the Hate, Get the Nazis Out of New York City.

00:04:24.840 So they were calling all those people Nazis.

00:04:27.000 And then there were two people that were affiliated with that counter protest or at least supporting of that counter protest that had built bombs and threw those into the crowd.

00:04:39.860 Now, luckily, they didn't ignite, but they did attempt to cause major damage and major loss of life if they could have.

00:04:50.300 The protesters were, the first one was an 18-year-old by the name of Amir Balot from the Philadelphia area.

00:05:02.900 And here is Sot 1 that shows what this guy was doing.

00:05:06.240 Now, think about the timing.

00:05:07.620 It's perfect, actually.

00:05:09.120 Listen to what the guy says and then see what happens right after he kind of quits talking.

00:05:14.580 We were pulling in race in New York, and we want everyone here to stay in New York. 0.99

00:05:20.240 You don't get to come from outside and then tell everyone else.

00:05:32.200 Now, obviously, the guy that was speaking wasn't planning for that to happen,

00:05:36.840 But he had just said, we want everyone to come to New York and stay in New York.

00:05:41.600 And then this kid, Amir Balat, throws a bomb over his head.

00:05:46.480 And the bombs had a lot of nuts, bolts, and screws.

00:05:50.360 And it had some type of accelerator that would have caused them to, you know, blow up and scatter.

00:05:59.000 But luckily, it didn't.

00:06:00.440 It didn't ignite.

00:06:01.220 And then they ran off after that.

00:06:03.780 So it's just really incredible.

00:06:06.100 Then another 19-year-old by the name of Ibrahim Nick, and he also had a bomb and threw it.

00:06:15.520 And then they both ran off, but then policemen were able to get them.

00:06:18.900 They were denied bail, thank goodness, on terrorism-related charges with the federal government stepped in and did that when it's terrorism, it becomes a federal crime.

00:06:28.600 and they also had stated in their own that they were pro-ISIS supporters.

00:06:36.180 In fact, he said ISIS was his reason for acting,

00:06:42.240 while Balot told officers that he had pledged allegiance to the terrorist group.

00:06:49.720 And when they were asked whether they sought to emulate the 2013 bombing,

00:06:54.500 Balot reportedly replied, no, even bigger.

00:06:58.600 And remember, there were three people killed in that bombing and 280 injured.

00:07:03.340 So these weren't kids that were just playing around, coming to New York City for a prank.

00:07:09.220 These were serious, radicalized Islamists.

00:07:12.420 Both of them grew up outside or spent the last several years anyway outside of Philadelphia.

00:07:18.760 They lived in very, if you look on the Internet, they lived in very nice homes, looked to be million-dollar-plus homes.

00:07:25.400 So it's not like they had been oppressed or anything like that.

00:07:28.500 In fact, their families had done well by us rolling out the carpet for them to come to the United States. 0.98

00:07:34.860 Police later found their vehicle near the scene.

00:07:38.180 They actually came over together.

00:07:39.620 So it was coordinated and had a fuse, metal cans and handwritten list of chemicals and components for bomb making.

00:07:47.740 It's really unbelievable when you think about it.

00:07:51.820 And the officers, of course, we thank them.

00:07:54.920 They ran towards the danger and were able to apprehend them.

00:08:00.460 She also said that there, this was a commissioner, Jessica Tisch, commissioner in New York,

00:08:05.600 that there was no direct link between what they were doing and what was going on in Iran.

00:08:11.480 That was just the radicalization of two guys, which is very sad.

00:08:16.660 And Pam Bondi said they've been charged federally.

00:08:20.520 There's a full screen picture of this guy that one of the two people that were throwing the bomb.

00:08:26.280 And the charges that we filed from a federal level have been the material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization.

00:08:37.400 That is a maximum sentence of 20 years.

00:08:39.680 Use of a weapon of mass destruction.

00:08:41.700 That's a maximum sense of life in prison.

00:08:44.700 Transportation of explosive materials.

00:08:46.580 You can get 10 years for that.

00:08:48.220 Transportation and receipt of explosive, that's another 10 years.

00:08:51.620 Unlawful possession of destructive devices, that's another 10 years.

00:08:55.720 We'll see what happens.

00:08:56.920 I think that they will be dealt with pretty severely under this Justice Department.

00:09:03.240 And unfortunately, you know, for those two young men whose life was in front of them, that's what they should get.

00:09:09.180 And I hate that, really.

00:09:10.360 I mean, I really do hate that.

00:09:11.980 But that's what happens when you make those decisions.

00:09:17.820 quick pause to tell you about our first sponsor for the day it's adele natural cosmetics i love

00:09:24.080 adele so much use it every single day i don't talk as much about their cosmetics it's not what

00:10:28.900 Zahran Mandami, the first Muslim mayor, you know, here's what he said right after this

00:10:34.420 happened.

00:10:35.220 This was a vile protest rooted in white supremacy entitled Stop the Islamic Takeover of New

00:10:41.300 York City.

00:10:42.460 I'm the first Muslim mayor of our city.

00:10:45.820 Anti-Muslim bigotry is nothing new to me,

00:10:48.340 nor is it anything new for the one million or so Muslim New Yorkers

00:10:51.960 who know this city as our home.

00:10:54.160 Okay, did you hear what he said in the first sentence,

00:10:56.640 that this was all about white supremacy?

00:10:59.160 What happened to peaceful protests?

00:11:00.960 There's not one word about the people that were saying

00:11:04.340 don't Islamify America that they were doing anything but peaceful protests.

00:11:09.460 In fact, most of the other protesters on the other side were peaceful as well.

00:11:13.440 But it wasn't about white supremacy.

00:11:15.180 It was about radical Islamists. 0.68

00:11:18.000 That's exactly what it was. 1.00

00:11:19.700 Radical Muslims that hate America. 1.00

00:11:22.580 That's what the creed of radical Islam is, is hate America. 1.00

00:11:27.840 And meaning hate means they believe everybody, we're all infidels, therefore we should die. 1.00

00:11:32.260 We're like a dog almost. 0.96

00:11:34.760 Not just a regular dog, a mangy dog, you know, that is a threat to other people.

00:11:39.680 And so that's what the mayor came out.

00:11:42.080 Now, he's softened that up in the last few days, but it doesn't matter.

00:11:45.400 What usually comes out of your mouth first is what you really think.

00:11:48.560 Remember that.

00:11:49.180 What comes out of somebody's mouth first is usually what they really believe.

00:11:53.280 Then on top of this, in the irony of all ironies, on Monday night, Mamdani dined with Mahmoud Khalil,

00:12:03.660 who was the Syrian national who made headlines last year for being arrested at a pro-Palestine

00:12:10.300 protest at Columbia University. Remember that? Where they locked themselves in and this guy was

00:12:15.780 a radical pro-Palestinian and he spent three months in a Louisiana detention center before

00:12:21.500 being released. But that's who, shouting death to America and all that, that's who the mayor of New

00:12:27.720 york city right after there was a terrorist attempt was dining with on monday i mean you can't make it

00:12:34.320 up having a nice meal probably lots of security around them where you couldn't get in there right

00:12:40.640 incredible i can't it's just drives you crazy also um our friends at cnn and nbc they really

00:12:52.140 couldn't figure out what to say about this either.

00:12:55.480 In fact, we have a screen of what they first came out with.

00:12:58.920 Here's their first tweet.

00:12:59.940 I'm going to read it to you for those that are listening.

00:13:02.540 Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could

00:13:06.160 have been a normal day enjoying the city during the abnormally warm weather.

00:13:10.060 Don't you just have really butterflies and fluffy clouds in your head right now?

00:13:14.400 But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested

00:13:19.700 for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim protest outside of Mayor Zoran's

00:13:25.220 Mamdani's home. Here's what we know so far. And so then they go on to have a report. They had to

00:13:32.420 delete this post because their own media analyst came out against it and said, this is, you may

00:13:38.460 have the story right, but the way you approached this was totally wrong. And you notice they said

00:13:43.260 an anti-Muslim protest.

00:13:46.060 They didn't say anything about the counter-protest.

00:13:49.140 You notice they didn't talk about that, where the actual problem came from.

00:13:54.340 But they deleted it, and now they have a new story to sympathize with this,

00:13:58.340 and here's what they've put up since then.

00:14:00.620 A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs

00:14:04.020 outside New York City Mayor Zorhan Mamdani's home

00:14:08.000 failed to reflect the gravity of the incident,

00:14:10.220 thereby breaching the editorial standards,

00:14:12.860 which I'm surprised they have any editorial standards at CNN anymore.

00:14:16.580 We require for all our reporting.

00:14:18.720 It has therefore been deleted.

00:14:21.220 Good for them that they did that.

00:14:22.980 But you know what?

00:14:24.260 Again, what they probably thought was the first thing they said.

00:14:27.600 That's generally the case.

00:14:29.160 But not to be outdone, our friends at ABC News had something to say as well.

00:14:34.980 Didn't even call him a bomber.

00:14:36.860 Here's what they said.

00:14:38.020 An activist, an activist explaining what's happened, holds a homemade explosive before throwing it towards police during a protest organized by far-right influencer Jake Lang against alleged Islamification in front of Gracie Manchin.

00:14:53.880 Again, not even mentioning at all the counter-protest, calling him an activist rather than a terrorist.

00:15:00.920 Telling you, our media is such an issue.

00:15:04.440 It just is, it's crazy.

00:15:07.200 So anyway, this type of stuff is pretty scary.

00:15:11.040 I think those two guys will get what they deserve.

00:15:14.200 But ABC News also reported on some Iranian sleeper cells.

00:15:19.640 And the U.S. government has issued a federal alert to law enforcement agencies

00:15:23.720 warning of intercepted encrypted communications likely originating from Iran,

00:15:29.380 potentially serving as an operational trigger to activate sleeper assets.

00:15:33.640 Obviously, we need to be extra diligent.

00:15:39.000 All right.

00:15:39.480 We are in a military fight with a foreign power. 0.98

00:15:45.720 Again, as I said on Saturday, not necessarily much the country of Iran, but the radical Islamic Islams that lead Iran and they lead other organizations like the Houthis and Hezbollah and Hamas.

00:16:00.200 Those are really, that's where the issue is, not with the country per se.

00:16:06.920 And this alert is based on preliminary signals of transmissions relayed across multiple countries shortly after the assassination of the Supreme Leader.

00:16:16.900 So we have to be diligent.

00:16:18.600 That's the main thing.

00:16:19.660 There's always risk, obviously.

00:16:21.160 There's risk walking out the door, getting in your car, whatever.

00:16:24.200 But we need to be there.

00:16:25.180 So if you see something unusual, make sure that you're reporting that.

00:16:28.780 or if you hear something unusual, you know, some type of unusual type of, uh, words being said,

00:16:36.280 if you're out in the crowd, things like that, make sure that you're diligent for that. Um,

00:16:41.180 and then, you know, cause we also not into, not only the New York city, but if you remember a

00:16:46.240 week or so ago, they, uh, had an, there was an Austin shooter in Austin, Texas. And I think we

00:16:51.740 have a screenshot as well of this one that was called, had a sweatshirt reading the property

00:16:58.480 of Allah. He killed three people, wounded 14 after firing from his car into a bar near the

00:17:04.720 University of Texas. And the police were there in about 57 seconds. They got there really quick.

00:17:10.280 They were able to eliminate the threat and eliminate the man. And then there were flags

00:17:17.540 and photos in the attacker's apartment of the Iran leader. So, you know, everybody likes to

00:17:24.740 belong to something. And I was listening to a podcast here recently, uh, about a lot of you

00:17:31.420 will not know this, but some of the people my age will remember the, um, kidnapping of Patricia

00:17:37.620 Hearst, who was an heir to the Randolph, uh, William Randolph Hearst, uh, you know, uh, riches,

00:17:46.220 I guess you would say wealth, who had a huge, uh, media empire a long time ago and still owns

00:17:51.220 media stuff but she was the granddaughter and who was kidnapped by some terrorist organization 0.87

00:17:57.720 and then she actually you know she she was rebelling against her parents already so when 0.99

00:18:03.120 she got inside of that uh a lot of us believe although she has denied it that she kind of

00:18:10.540 became a part of that organization in fact she was she went on a couple of armed robberies and

00:18:16.140 what have you now she said she was forced it's hard to believe that that she was forced for that

00:18:20.700 long. But anyway, I'm just saying people like to belong to something. If they can't belong to

00:18:25.420 something good, they'll belong to something bad. So that's what's happened with these people. And

00:18:29.820 who knows what was going on? Maybe, you know, the guy in Austin was mentally ill. I think the 0.97

00:18:34.020 two boys in Pennsylvania, you know, had just been listening to the wrong stuff,

00:18:41.760 looking at the wrong stuff online and, you know, just have gone the wrong way. So

00:18:47.460 anyway, it's a sad situation. I'm glad they were able to catch these guys and nobody was hurt in

00:18:54.160 New York. Next sponsor is Voice of the Martyrs. So there is this book, that Voice of the Martyrs,

00:19:05.660 this organization that fights for defending persecuted and martyred Christians around the

00:19:11.780 world that they've published. It's called Hearts of Fire 2. And it shares these real stories of

00:19:16.460 women around the world who are following Jesus in places where doing so is dangerous to their

00:19:20.380 lives. They are threatened with imprisonment, with torture, even with death, and yet they are

00:19:27.100 preaching the gospel unapologetically. We need to remember these women. We need to be rejuvenated

00:19:33.580 in our faith by their stories and also just reminded to pray for them every day. That's

00:19:37.660 what we are called to do, to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being persecuted

00:19:41.840 around the world. And so make sure that you go to vom.org slash Allie, get a free copy of Hearts

00:19:49.340 of Fire 2, see what Jesus is doing through these women around the world. That's vom.org slash Allie. 0.99

00:20:01.220 Now, the next thing we want to talk about is the Save America Act. We've heard a lot about that

00:20:06.520 lately that's really been in the news, and it's called Safeguard American Voter Eligibility.

00:20:13.720 And let me talk just for a second of why this is so important. The base of all republics or

00:20:20.220 democracies, we actually are in a republic, all right, which means we elect officials to represent

00:20:27.680 us. A democracy is where everybody has one single, each individual vote for the government itself.

00:20:36.280 But in a republic, it works a little different. But the goal is the same thing, is that really the power is in the people.

00:20:43.720 But if the base of that power is being able to vote to elect those people that you want to run the government, that's really the basis of the power.

00:20:53.660 And so if there's anything that makes that not as accurate and as safe and even as transparent as it should be, then you don't really get the government that the people want.

00:21:05.420 And people talk about, well, it's such a small thing.

00:21:08.360 It's not something to worry about.

00:21:09.340 Look, if I have a voter in the area where I live that's an illegal voter, and let's say that he or she votes for someone different than I vote for, then my vote's automatically been canceled.

00:21:21.340 So I've been disenfranchised for no good reason.

00:21:24.240 So I believe that we have to root out every smidgen of illegal voting, every smidgen of that.

00:21:31.200 And sometimes maybe it's done unknowingly.

00:21:35.220 Maybe somebody moves and they don't change their address quick enough, so they vote in the wrong location.

00:21:40.580 I'm talking about just kind of within a city.

00:21:42.180 And those things matter because what some people vote for in one part of a metroplex area may be different than the other people are voting for, especially on the local, local level.

00:21:52.440 So the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, introduced by Senator John Cornyn, our senator from Texas, Senator Mike Lee, who is from Utah.

00:22:01.200 And Congressman Chip Roy from Texas requires individuals to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

00:22:09.060 This is where the biggest issue is. And I've said this for a long time in Texas.

00:22:14.200 I did not. I filed a bill to get this taken care of, but it didn't get through all of the minutia in the legislature.

00:22:21.680 And that is if you right now in Texas and in most states, when I register to vote, I basically just I do give them some information that they should be able to verify.

00:22:34.460 But I'm essentially signing an affidavit saying I'm eligible to vote.

00:22:38.960 There's not really any follow up done on that.

00:22:41.420 All right. And what we need to put into play and what the SAVE Act puts into play is that you have to prove your eligibility to vote.

00:22:50.420 You prove your citizenship. You prove that you're where you live and that type of thing in order to even be able to register as a legal voter.

00:23:01.700 It also it also would require photo ID when you go to vote. All right.

00:23:07.480 And it also would require states to remove non-citizens from voter rolls, which that's important as well to include any non-citizens because they're out there. 1.00

00:23:17.880 How they got on there, who knows, but we need to remove those as well.

00:23:23.500 Now, President Trump has really stepped out on this one, and here's what he has said.

00:23:27.980 I want to read this true social post that he put up there.

00:23:31.140 Good job by hardworking Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the filibuster or talking filibuster,

00:23:38.760 and we'll talk about that in a second as well, in order to press the Save the America Act.

00:23:42.560 An issue, 88% of all voters says we must have.

00:23:47.540 It must be done immediately.

00:23:48.980 It supersedes everything else.

00:23:50.500 It must go to the front of the line.

00:23:52.660 I, as president, will not sign another bill until this is passed, and not the watered-down version.

00:23:58.240 Go for the gold.

00:23:59.700 Must show voter ID and proof of citizenship.

00:24:02.040 No mail-in ballots except for military.

00:24:04.040 Now, that's new.

00:24:05.580 Illness, disability, and travel.

00:24:07.180 Right now, in most states, like in Texas, if you're over 65, you can do a mail-in ballot.

00:24:13.520 No men in women's sports, no transgender mutilization for children do not fail, President Donald J. Trump.

00:24:20.320 Now, I don't know what the last two things, although I agree with him on those issues.

00:24:25.180 Obviously, you know that already from listening to Allie and I in the past.

00:24:28.780 I'm not sure what those have to do with voting.

00:24:30.720 But maybe in the Texas House, you couldn't do that because those would be not on the same subject.

00:24:36.980 But the federal government, they could throw stuff in there that's not related to the underlying bill.

00:24:42.020 And President Trump has urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to use a talking filibuster.

00:24:50.740 Now, what this means, there's two types of filibusters. 0.98

00:24:54.040 The original filibuster was talking, meaning that if a senator got up to speak, that he could not be interrupted or taken off the floor.

00:25:03.900 In other words, they couldn't recognize anybody else until that senator was through speaking.

00:25:08.640 And so if they could do it, they could speak for hours upon hours upon hours.

00:25:14.220 And the whole idea is to speak long enough to where either the clock runs out and they can't pass the bill

00:25:20.480 or to get the other side to negotiate and acquiesce to some changes that they won't make.

00:25:27.020 In the past, though, as only our federal government could do, is they've just said,

00:25:32.140 hey, I'm going to filibuster that, meaning that they don't require you to talk.

00:25:36.280 They just say, I'm going to filibuster it.

00:25:38.360 And until they lift that filibuster, there's no vote that's going to happen.

00:25:42.600 And it requires 60 votes in order for a filibuster to end.

00:25:48.300 And that means that if we have 53 Republicans, we have to have seven Democrats with us.

00:25:54.980 So the other thing that's being talked about is that we get rid of the requirement to have 60 votes on certain legislation.

00:26:03.440 And we do have that on some things, but most things require 60 votes.

00:26:08.000 And that is an advantage to the minority. 0.99

00:26:11.240 And Republicans have been in the minority in the past, and we've used it to stop some pretty bad legislation.

00:26:16.840 But I'm of the opinion that we're supposed to be a majority rule country.

00:26:22.080 that all officials get elected by in a majority manner, or at least they have the most votes.

00:26:29.000 You know, we pass bills, actually, even the bills in the Senate, once they get to 60 votes to be

00:26:34.600 able to have the vote, it's a vote to have the vote, the bill's passed by majority. And I don't

00:26:40.860 know why every bill is not passed by majority. Yeah, that might bite us sometime in the future,

00:26:46.220 but it's still the right thing to do. The majority should rule. People don't elect,

00:26:50.060 don't do all the work to elect a majority of their party in a particular

00:26:55.260 legislative session and to not to be able to use it.

00:26:58.880 So I think we ought to drop the filibuster and the 60 vote requirement

00:27:03.680 altogether.

00:27:05.680 So we don't know what's going to happen with this because they're trying to

00:27:09.280 all at the same time, move other priorities.

00:27:11.400 Like when you remember the department of homeland security is still not

00:27:14.580 funded during where we have in spring break times,

00:27:17.680 You can see some of the waits at airports, three, four hours, because these people aren't getting paid.

00:27:22.020 Some of them aren't showing up because they're not getting paid.

00:27:24.560 Maybe they have to go do another job to make money to feed their family.

00:27:28.600 And the Democrats are the ones that are the cause for this.

00:27:31.460 If you wait in line at an airport, call your local Democrat, because that is who's stopping this from you.

00:27:38.280 All right. If you wait in a hugely long line, that's what's causing it.

00:27:41.280 They all want to get more Iran security funding and other, Mark, the new DHS secretary, Senator Mullen.

00:27:52.600 They've got his nomination coming up that needs to go through the White House, I mean, go through Senate as well.

00:27:58.780 So it's already passed the House multiple times and therefore, you know, hopefully it will pass the House in the future or pass the Senate.

00:28:07.500 And I'd like for him to pass the House version.

00:28:09.780 I know President Trump wants a little more, but if you pass a Senate that hit the version that he wants in the Senate, you've got to go back to the House.

00:28:17.160 And there's always risk when you do that.

00:28:19.660 Now, the Democrats are opposing this, of course.

00:28:22.880 The Democrats are opposing this. 0.99

00:28:24.640 In fact, our good friend Chuck Schumer is maybe the biggest hypocrite I've ever seen, but here's what he has to say. 0.98

00:28:32.400 The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. 0.97

00:28:35.460 More than 20 million people would lose their right to vote.

00:28:38.900 You would need to register either a passport or your original birth certificate.

00:28:44.700 How many people have that?

00:28:46.860 I mean, Jim Crow, if you remember the Jim Crow laws that were keeping people from voting in the South where they would put these ridiculous things.

00:28:55.380 But having a having an identification is not one of those.

00:28:59.940 As a matter of fact, I was reading today that somewhere around 90% of the people that are eligible for them have driver's license in the U.S.

00:29:13.100 or some form of state or government-issued ID.

00:29:16.920 So they're talking about, it's what we call a red herring, meaning they're throwing up something to get attention that doesn't have any facts based on it.

00:29:26.560 He also claimed, Senator Schumer did, that this will allow Elon Musk to determine who can vote.

00:29:32.900 Now, let's see how he pulls this rabbit out of his hat.

00:29:36.160 He would purge the voter rolls using an AI system set up by Musk and Doge.

00:29:44.540 So you could show up at the polling place this November, and they'd say you're no longer on the rolls.

00:29:48.680 They don't even notify you of it.

00:29:50.320 millions of people would be purged from the roles because of this system that

00:29:55.640 Musk and Doge put in.

00:29:58.660 You're only going to merge people from the roles that are ineligible to vote.

00:30:03.080 And if you've done the right thing and you're a U.S. citizen,

00:30:06.260 you're going to be eligible to vote.

00:30:08.020 Now you may get purged from a role in one state because you've moved to

00:30:11.420 another state. That's the way it should be.

00:30:13.440 If you moved to that other state and you didn't register, shame on you.

00:30:17.000 There's a duty as a citizen.

00:30:18.860 Everything's not given to us on a silver platter.

00:30:21.280 Some things we have to actually do something for.

00:30:24.180 And it's not the government's fault if you don't go do what you're supposed to.

00:30:28.020 So get a grip, Senator Schumer.

00:30:35.620 All right.

00:30:36.320 Third sponsor is Hillsdale College.

00:30:38.860 OK, if you want to get not only smarter, which you should, many of us have been scrolling

00:30:44.060 too much.

00:30:44.600 And so maybe your brain is atrophied.

00:30:46.380 And sometimes you're like, I don't think I'm as smart as I was in high school or in college.

00:30:50.180 You don't want that.

00:30:51.140 You want to get smarter and smarter every day, but you also want to get wiser and wiser.

00:30:55.620 You want to know how to apply your knowledge.

00:30:57.660 That's what I love about Hillsdale College.

00:30:59.600 They're not just offering information to their students, whether online or in person, but

00:31:03.760 they're also helping you become biblically wise.

00:31:06.940 I love that they offer a bunch of free online classes.

00:31:10.620 You can learn about the Genesis story on an in-depth level.

00:31:14.120 You can learn about the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, the Federalist Papers.

00:31:18.680 There's a course dedicated to the works of C.S. Lewis.

00:31:21.600 This is the kind of stuff that just not only makes you more knowledgeable, but fills you

00:31:26.400 with the kind of discernment that God has called us to.

00:31:29.060 And they're free.

00:31:30.500 So all you have to do is go to hillsdale.edu slash relatable.

00:31:44.120 Hillary Clinton, our good friend, who, by the way, has still not called me to come on the show and talk about her attack on Allie a few weeks ago in that article.

00:31:53.100 But Hillary Clinton claimed on X that Republican voter legislation, specifically the Save America Act backed by President Trump, would make it harder for millions of Americans to vote, particularly married women, portraying it as deliberate suppression.

00:32:07.860 What they say is once you get married, your name's changed, all right?

00:32:12.520 And as this says, House passes elections overhaul bill that could make it harder for married women to vote. 0.97

00:32:18.680 Now, this is so crazy because, first of all, there are provisions.

00:32:24.620 If you've recently married and your birth certificate, which it would never match what they have on or your ID doesn't match,

00:32:33.420 they have other ways to reconcile that when you go to vote.

00:32:36.500 You can sign an affidavit.

00:32:38.680 You can bring other proof of information that, you know, your marriage license, that type of thing.

00:32:44.640 No issue with that.

00:32:45.900 Now, let me ask you this.

00:32:47.280 If you go to the airport and you have a driver and you want to fly, which by the way, 75% of women have flown. 1.00

00:32:56.440 Only 80, you know, just a little different than men. 0.98

00:32:58.120 Men's 82, women's 75.

00:32:59.760 In fact, over age 50, 70% of the women are flyers. 0.99

00:33:03.720 Is that incredible?

00:33:04.820 That's, that's, I was surprised at that.

00:33:06.660 So if you go to the airport and your ID doesn't match the name on your ticket because you've gotten married, then what are they going to do?

00:33:19.020 You can't fly.

00:33:20.420 So what do people do?

00:33:21.460 They get that taken care of, all right?

00:33:24.020 And again, if it's within a few months or something, there are other ways to show who you really are.

00:33:30.540 It's just, again, it's another red herring that you need to push back against.

00:33:36.060 If any of your, you know, woke friends are talking about that, it's just it is it's just incredible.

00:33:43.860 Democrats, including Clinton and House members, suggest that the bill would disenfranchise married women whose birth certificates do not match their married names, which is just not a true statement.

00:33:54.600 Republicans emphasize that the legislation includes explicit provisions to accommodate name changes without excluding eligible voters.

00:34:04.160 So come on.

00:34:06.060 We've got that.

00:34:06.980 We know better than that.

00:34:07.900 The bill allows, we tend to use a variety of documents, including passports, real IDs, military IDs, or birth certificates.

00:34:16.460 I looked it up.

00:34:17.140 I said, how many people, I asked AI, how many people have either a driver's license, passport, real ID, military ID, or birth certificate?

00:34:27.380 95% of the people in the United States have that.

00:34:30.980 So what is the problem?

00:34:33.880 It's, yeah, it's crazy.

00:34:36.980 It's just crazy.

00:34:37.940 Here's a couple of other things that the stats I wanted to talk to you about that a majority of the women support. 0.99

00:34:44.640 Here's the statistics, okay?

00:34:47.680 And let me see here.

00:34:49.100 Yeah, this was the White House put these out.

00:34:50.960 71% support the Save America Act, including 69% of independents and half of rank-and-file Democrats.

00:34:58.040 81% favor requiring voter ID.

00:35:02.960 And this is backed by 79% of independents and 70% of Democrats requiring voter ID to vote.

00:35:09.980 80% of people want states to purge non-citizens from voter rolls.

00:35:17.940 85%, this is probably the most interesting statistic, 85% agree only U.S. citizens should vote in our election.

00:35:24.640 But if you listen to some of the far left woke, they don't believe that the mayor of New York doesn't believe that a lot of people don't believe that 80 or I say a lot of people, a lot of loud people.

00:35:35.660 It's not really. It's a loud minority. Remember that most things that seem crazy. It's a loud minority that's doing it.

00:35:43.340 Sometimes that's on the far left. Sometimes it's on the far right in a Harvard Caps Harris poll says there is a strong support for the Save America Act when confronted with a tradeoff.

00:35:54.320 Here's the tradeoff. Should voters prioritize stopping fraud over access concerns?

00:36:00.820 So, in other words, some people will claim and you can see on this page here, some people will say, hey, do you support the or oppose the Save America Act, 71 to 29 support of it?

00:36:11.760 And then they say, but however, which is the more important that we do everything possible to stop voter fraud or are we worried about eligible citizens can't or deny the ability to vote?

00:36:25.360 54 percent.

00:36:26.560 So a majority of Americans say, hey, it's more important to stop fraud than it is that a few people may not have the right identification to vote that are that actually are eligible to vote.

00:36:39.060 I think that's fascinating.

00:36:40.440 I mean, I don't know why Republicans cannot use this, especially in their campaigns, to beat some Democrats this coming fall, because it's just real.

00:36:54.040 It just is.

00:36:54.840 I mean, it's something that they should be using, just keep pounding and pounding.

00:36:59.040 I think that's why President Trump, say anything you want to about President Trump.

00:37:02.080 The guy knows politics as far as what moves the what the what the majority of people are thinking or what at least what his base is thinking anyway.

00:37:11.940 He has a pretty good finger on the pulse of that.

00:37:15.600 So I encourage you that if you live in a blue state or if you live in a state that has a squishy Republican senator,

00:37:22.700 that you get in touch with them and you tell them that we want this passed and we don't care what it takes.

00:37:28.340 If it means getting rid of the filibuster or make them do a talking filibuster, that that's what you want to have happen.

00:37:33.760 And I encourage you to do that.

00:37:35.680 Please, please, please do that.

00:37:37.160 If you don't know how to get in touch with a center, just Google it.

00:37:39.340 It's online.

00:37:40.520 It's easy to find.

00:37:46.220 Next sponsor is Paleo Valley.

00:37:49.060 I love Paleo Valley, especially their grass-fed beef sticks.

00:37:52.480 They use 100% grass-fed and finished beef from small-scale, regenerative American farms.

00:37:59.080 And so you're supporting American farms there and making sure that the snacks that you are

00:38:03.900 eating are high in protein, but also really high quality.

00:38:07.240 These are the first beef jerky sticks that I've been able to eat that don't hurt my stomach.

00:38:12.260 That's because the casing for a lot of the beef jerky is actually just not good for you.

00:38:16.620 It's filled with these ingredients that are preservatives that are bad for your body.

00:38:21.720 that's not true with Paleo Valley. And I love all of their products, whether it's their bone broth

00:38:26.100 protein or their other protein powders. I love knowing that they are top-notch organic ingredients

00:38:32.580 that are good for you, good for your family. They have all different kinds of products that

00:38:36.040 you can sneak into your kid's food to make it more protein, higher protein and more nutritious

00:38:41.420 for them. That's one thing I love about them. Go to paleovalley.com and use code Allie for 15%

00:38:48.580 off your first order paleovalley.com code alley all right now there has been some unease and i

00:39:01.660 understand why uh about the economy uh ever since that we started the military action against the

00:39:09.080 Islamic radicals

00:39:11.340 focused in Iran.

00:39:14.140 And the

00:39:15.320 markets, the stock market has been a little

00:39:19.340 volatile. There's been concerns

00:39:21.440 about what it's going to be long term

00:39:23.340 on the economy. The oil prices shot up

00:39:25.320 to $100. Now it went back to $90.

00:39:27.260 Some people say it could go to $200, which I don't

00:39:29.380 believe. But I just want you to

00:39:31.340 here's what I want to tell you is that if you've got

00:39:33.260 money invested in the stock

00:39:35.320 market, first of all, you shouldn't have

00:39:37.260 any money invested in the stock market that you need within the next 12 months. I've told you that

00:39:41.460 before and that is just absolute good advice. I'm sure I learned it from somebody else. It's not my

00:39:46.980 original idea. But if you've got money in the market, do not make any radical changes. All right?

00:39:53.760 This is not the time to do that. You hold steady. This is long-term investments. And if you've

00:39:59.520 invested in quality stocks like a Standard & Poor's 500 index fund or a value fund or something

00:40:06.880 like that or bonds, just hold steady. Okay. It's going to end up being okay. If you, if again,

00:40:14.380 don't ever have money in the market that you're going to need within the next, next 12 months,

00:40:18.920 because that needs to be in a no risk, no risk scenario. And it could get more volatile. You

00:40:25.920 know, gas prices have gone up. Average gas price in the country is about $3.50 a gallon. That's up

00:40:32.580 about 50 cents in the last week or two.

00:40:35.720 You know, California, our friends in California, I'm sorry,

00:40:39.320 pay $5.20 a gallon.

00:40:42.040 California, $4.70 in Washington.

00:40:45.460 Kansas is on the low end.

00:40:47.040 It's a little still under $3.

00:40:48.560 Here in Texas, it's a little over $3.

00:40:50.800 I think that'll get down to under $3 all over the country here in the next,

00:40:55.180 you know, few weeks or maybe another month and a half or so.

00:40:59.980 It's going to be okay.

00:41:01.300 Some of this is tied the way.

00:41:02.580 If you go look at a map and the way Iran is situated on the map, they border an area and it's called the Strait of Hormuz.

00:41:13.120 And it's a lot of cargo traffic goes through there.

00:41:17.860 And it gets very narrow in one of its places.

00:41:21.320 And Iran uses that as a threat.

00:41:23.640 And they haven't shut it off, but a lot of ships are unwilling to go through there just afraid.

00:41:30.700 And we're working on that.

00:41:32.380 As you know, we've decimated the Iran Navy.

00:41:34.780 So I think that will increase.

00:41:37.680 We also have to go against the Iran proxies like the Hooties and what have you who try to help in that situation. 1.00

00:41:43.420 But right now that has reduced some of the oil flow through there.

00:41:47.220 But America is producing more oil than it ever has.

00:41:50.580 Trump's been on the phone with China to say, hey, we're going to help you get the oil you need because that was coming from Iran.

00:41:57.280 Same way, you know, I mean, Trump's also had a conversation with Putin trying to tell him, hey, don't get involved in this conflict, which I think is a smart thing to do.

00:42:07.460 Again, I told you, you know, you may be in your, you know, in your policy or political opponent, you may be totally against something on this with them.

00:42:18.400 And I had this happen to me a lot when I was in the legislature, especially when it got to social issues.

00:42:22.420 I was bitterly against a lot of the Democrat policies.

00:42:25.860 But I need to work with them maybe on some transportation issues, something related to roads.

00:42:31.220 And that's what President Trump is doing.

00:42:33.140 It's, you know, we don't think China is our friend, but if we can help them get something that they need,

00:42:39.480 that may make discussions and negotiations with us a little bit easier.

00:42:43.860 So that's why they're doing that.

00:42:45.500 I think that's smart to do that.

00:42:47.340 There is a little bit of sight that maybe we're kind of over the worst part.

00:42:52.240 Oil prices have gone down 5% yesterday, and, you know, they'll fluctuate some more.

00:42:58.580 The S&P 500 ended actually higher yesterday.

00:43:02.660 You know, it's probably still down for the last couple of weeks.

00:43:05.480 But I think we're, you know, it's going to settle out.

00:43:09.060 What's going on over there has not much of an effect on our economy, really.

00:43:13.580 It doesn't have a huge effect on our economy.

00:43:15.460 It has an effect on who we are as a world leader, and it has an effect on promoting democracies around the world.

00:43:21.180 but it doesn't have a direct effect on the economy.

00:43:24.460 Now, we do need to be diligent, as I said earlier, about radical Islam over here. 0.96

00:43:30.400 There are individuals that definitely have those issues associated with them here,

00:43:37.300 as it's been proven in Austin and New York City.

00:43:40.040 But for the most part, it doesn't have a huge effect on us.

00:43:48.320 Last sponsor for the day is Good Rancher.

00:43:50.600 So I talk a lot about how much I love Good Rancher's Meat, how much I love supporting

00:43:54.420 American farms and ranches.

00:43:56.200 But just let me hone in on the convenience aspect of getting all of the meat for your

00:44:01.100 family on dry ice to your front door every month.

00:44:04.300 It is just one less thing I have to think about.

00:44:06.400 I set up my subscription.

00:44:08.340 I pick the meat that I want in the box.

00:44:10.620 It shows up on dry ice.

00:44:11.960 I get my Better Than Organic chicken breast.

00:44:14.000 I always get my bacon.

00:44:16.860 I get my ground beef.

00:44:18.040 Those are my staples.

00:44:18.920 And then sometimes I'll change it up.

00:44:20.340 I love their seed oil-free chicken nuggets.

00:44:22.800 Sometimes we'll throw some seafood in there, but I really love the basic versatile stuff,

00:44:27.300 and I don't have to worry about getting that at the grocery store.

00:44:30.040 It also saves me a lot of money over time, but it also just frees up my mind.

00:44:34.000 It gives me some storage space for thinking about other things.

00:44:37.800 Plus, I have one piece of every dinner, every night already accounted for.

00:44:41.880 I've got a freezer full of all-American meat, and it just makes my life easier.

00:44:58.060 We're going to get to listener questions.

00:45:00.700 We like listener questions time.

00:45:02.560 It's, again, always some great questions.

00:45:05.080 I'm going to get through as many as I can in the next few minutes.

00:45:07.960 And, again, you can always email me, ron at ronsimmons.com.

00:45:13.220 And if you've emailed me and I haven't got back to you within a couple of weeks, email me that again, because it'll get back up to the front of my email box.

00:45:21.880 And I apologize for that.

00:45:23.680 I had good response after Saturday's episode.

00:45:27.360 In fact, I had several people email me that wanted to get one of my books, which I'm happy to mail to them.

00:45:34.260 And, you know, they can send me a check for the $20 price or what have you, and I'll sign it for them, which I'm happy to do.

00:45:40.820 And if you want to do that, feel free to feel free to email me and let me know.

00:45:44.260 All right.

00:45:45.060 How do I discipline my two year old daughter? 1.00

00:45:47.980 Did you spank? 1.00

00:45:49.020 Do you regret how you were how you disciplined?

00:45:52.060 Yes, we did spank in our house. 1.00

00:45:53.780 I don't know that we did it a lot, but we did do it at least a little bit with the wooden spoon.

00:46:00.840 Occasionally when they needed it, I did it, you know, usually only when it was, you know, what we considered at the time, serious stuff.

00:46:10.400 And it, I'm sure it all stopped by the time they were eight to 10 years old.

00:46:15.980 But I have no issue with that.

00:46:18.280 And I, sometimes, you know, the little pat on the bottom is important that that has to happen.

00:46:24.060 In fact, on the way over here today, my grandson, who's here with me in studio today, asked me,

00:46:27.900 Papa, did you ever get spanked in school? 0.93

00:46:31.040 What did they, had they disciplined people in school?

00:46:32.540 And I said, well, sometimes they spanked you. 1.00

00:46:33.900 And I did get a couple of spankings at school. 0.99

00:46:36.060 I didn't like it at all, but we used to have that.

00:46:38.720 I don't know if you even do that anymore.

00:46:40.180 at school, but it was, they did back in my day. All right. How concerned are you about midterms?

00:46:45.920 Well, I'm, I'm always concerned, um, about an election. In fact, there's only two ways to run.

00:46:53.160 Uh, they used to tell us when we were, when we were campaigning is either run unopposed,

00:46:57.480 which you know, you're going to win, or you run scared, meaning that you do everything you

00:47:01.080 possibly can. I'm convinced that we, if we do everything we possibly can and we have the right

00:47:05.900 messaging and we quit fighting among ourselves, that we'll win. The Democrats have the lowest

00:47:11.940 approval rating, as far as I remember, that they've ever had. And so it's up to us if we

00:47:19.700 want to win. If the conservatives want to win, we can still hold it. And I'll tell you,

00:47:24.500 if you think things have gone pretty good so far with the policies that we've been putting forth

00:47:30.340 during this first year, if we win the midterms, it's going to be even better. It is going to be

00:47:37.000 even better. Promise you that. Cornyn or Paxton have the better shot at beating Tallarico.

00:47:43.720 I think Cornyn does. Attorney General Paxton has some baggage with him. A lot of people talk about

00:47:52.080 Cornyn not being as conservative as they want them to be. Nobody's ever perfect, but I do believe if

00:47:56.880 you really look at his voting record, that he has a good voting record since Trump's been in there

00:48:03.000 and in the other times as well. There's probably some things he voted for that we wouldn't agree

00:48:07.520 with, but calling him a total rhino, I think, is not right either. Now, Attorney General Paxton,

00:48:15.300 if he end up winning the whole thing in the general election as well, he will vote correctly

00:48:21.240 for sure. Absolutely. He'll vote correctly. Uh, but I think the Democrats would have a

00:48:27.560 better chance of beating, uh, Attorney General Pax than they would Senator Cornyn. That's just

00:48:32.720 my personal opinion. It might not even be Allie's opinion. Uh, but you asked me. And so that's,

00:48:37.180 that's what I think. Are we going into world war three? No, we're not going into world war three.

00:48:43.380 Um, and what makes prayer powerful? God already knows his plan. So how do our prayers affect

00:48:50.200 that. Well, God wants us to communicate with him. It's just like anything. All right. I know that my

00:48:54.980 wife and kids love me, but I still want to have that communicated and I want to have a relationship

00:49:01.500 with them. And yes, God is omnipotent, but he gives us free will. And part of that free will

00:49:06.720 is what are we going to do in the situations presented to us? And when those situations

00:49:12.480 presented to us, one of the things that we do is we ask God for guidance and he readily gives it

00:49:17.320 It'd be just like just like one of my kids or grandkids asking me as a father or grandfather, hey, Papa, what do you think about this?

00:49:24.460 Or, hey, Dad, what do you think about this?

00:49:26.140 Allie and I go through this all the time.

00:49:27.920 Justin and I do.

00:49:28.820 Daniel and I do.

00:49:30.100 You know, what's your thought on this?

00:49:31.380 It doesn't mean they always take my advice or always consider.

00:49:35.300 I think they always consider my opinion.

00:49:36.860 They may always follow it, but that's OK.

00:49:38.480 That's it's their life.

00:49:39.560 It's their role.

00:49:40.380 And I think God looks at us, you know, the same way.

00:49:43.420 So I think I do think it's very important that that happens.

00:49:46.820 All right.

00:49:47.320 A few more. The idea for another topic would be the Christian take on de-extension and colossal. 0.96

00:49:55.820 I think you're right on that, but probably something that Allie would be better at than me.

00:50:00.520 She's got such a vast knowledge of things like that. I think that might be an interesting deal.

00:50:07.240 How did I meet Allie's mom? Well, two times I met her. 0.69

00:50:12.160 the first time I didn't, I don't remember it. She remembered it. She was in a beauty pageant

00:50:16.640 when I was a high school senior. And, um, I had my knee hurt when I, at my homecoming game of my

00:50:24.040 high school year, I was playing linebacker and I got hit and tore my ACL. So I was in a cast

00:50:30.320 and then a friend of mine was, uh, had his neck hurt that game. So he was in a neck brace

00:50:36.080 and my girlfriend, not, not my wife, but my girlfriend at the time was in the same beauty

00:50:41.460 pageant. And we went up while they were practicing the day before the beauty pageant to, I don't know

00:50:47.360 what I went up there for. Maybe we were going to get together afterwards. And I guess Lisa was

00:50:52.920 standing around and she said, what happened to y'all? Were y'all in an accident? And we said,

00:50:58.980 yeah, an accident was Strong. And Strong was the name of the little town who we had played in that

00:51:03.420 game that we had gotten hurt on. By the way, we won that game, just in case anybody's wondering.

00:51:08.320 We were ahead 24 to nothing, and then we ended up winning 24-22.

00:51:13.240 And this is so funny.

00:51:14.300 Right after the game, both stands, and this is probably, it's a small town,

00:51:19.140 but there were probably 4,000 fans that ran onto the field,

00:51:23.340 half from Strong, half from Junction City, and they got in a fight.

00:51:27.640 In fact, our mayor hit their coach.

00:51:30.660 Now, you've got to love that.

00:51:31.740 I mean, that's the truth.

00:51:32.460 The next morning's paper said Mayor Tommy Wilson, no, Coach Such-and-Such from Strong,

00:51:40.180 took what appeared to be a short left jab to the face before hitting the ground from

00:51:44.180 Junction City Mayor Tommy Wilson.

00:51:46.380 I mean, you can't make it up.

00:51:47.800 It's the true story.

00:51:48.700 And for the next decade, they didn't even play each other because of that.

00:51:52.720 So anyway, that's how we met.

00:51:55.060 And then we met in college.

00:51:56.320 We were freshmen in college together, and we met there.

00:51:59.100 We had psychology and biology as classes, and both of them worked.

00:52:02.940 We ended up getting married about a year and a half later,

00:52:05.040 and now going on 46 years in about another week,

00:52:09.340 we'll have been married 46 years.

00:52:10.920 So a really cool thing.

00:52:13.280 All right, let's see here.

00:52:19.520 Does the song Good Neighbor belong in worship set during church?

00:52:24.520 That's an interesting question.

00:52:27.160 I don't know.

00:52:28.200 I don't really have a problem with that.

00:52:29.880 It's probably not quite as biblical or spiritual as you and I would want it,

00:52:34.480 but I think it's how people take things, right?

00:52:37.920 What do they mean in that?

00:52:39.760 I think God does want us to be a good neighbor for sure,

00:52:42.960 but in the aspect of worshiping God or praising him,

00:52:50.480 probably not the best selection, but it's not something I'd get too hung up over.

00:52:56.280 Favorite NHL team?

00:52:57.800 Well, it's the Stars, of course.

00:52:59.200 In fact, my grandson is here with me.

00:53:02.180 They were going to the Stars game tonight with our other son, Daniel, and a friend of his.

00:53:06.200 We're going to the Stars game tonight.

00:53:07.880 They're playing Las Vegas, I think.

00:53:10.900 And we're looking forward to that.

00:53:12.200 They've got a good team.

00:53:13.000 So we love the Stars.

00:53:13.820 We love the hockey team, these two hockey teams this year, the men and the women that won the Olympic gold.

00:53:20.300 That's really, really good.

00:53:21.760 So anyway, it's been a good time.

00:53:25.780 I've enjoyed being with y'all.

00:53:26.900 Allie, of course, will be back. She's just out of town for a little bit. It's kids' spring break

00:53:32.400 and stuff. So I really appreciate you listening. I want to remind you that if you haven't gotten

00:53:36.980 Allie's book yet, Toxic Empathy, especially in the time we're living in right now, it is so

00:53:43.140 spot on on how she talks about how the left uses our empathy against us. And they make us feel

00:53:49.740 like we're the toxic ones when it's not the case at all. And that's what, you know, Vandami was

00:53:55.520 trying to, or Ma'am Donnie. I don't know why I want to call him Ma'am Donnie. Anyway, that's what

00:54:00.640 he was trying to do when he said it was a white supremacist is the reason that the terrorist attack

00:54:05.900 happened in New York City. He's trying to use it against us, okay? Don't let him get her book.

00:54:11.660 It's really, really good. And if you want to know more about me and some of my things that I've

00:54:16.080 learned over the years, life lessons from the Little Red Wagon, again, you can get it on Allie's

00:54:19.940 merchandise site, also Amazon, or if you want a signed copy, you can email me. You can work that

00:54:24.720 out. But it's, you know, I had a co-author in this, uh, or not a co-author, but a helper in

00:54:30.900 this and they just such good storytellers, much better than I could be on my own. Uh, we would

00:54:35.780 talk for an hour, an hour and a half on the phone. He would ask questions. Lisa would help me think

00:54:39.820 of, you know, remember some stories. And, um, he just did a great job in putting that together.

00:54:45.240 I think you'll find a very easy read. In fact, I had a, I was at a men's Bible study last week

00:54:49.540 and the guy came, a friend of mine sat down and said,

00:54:53.020 hey, I've enjoyed spending the last week and a half with you.

00:54:56.160 I'm like, what are you talking about?

00:54:57.780 I mean, we had been out of town.

00:54:59.540 He said, I just, last week and a half to read your book

00:55:02.280 and I really enjoyed it.

00:55:03.340 So anyway, don't forget your tickets to share the arrows.

00:55:06.860 Thanks a lot and we'll see you next time.

00:55:19.540 You
