In this episode, we discuss the slippery slope and why polyamorous relationships deserve the same legal protections as two-person relationships. Guest: Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who wrote the landmark decision that established same-sex marriage as a constitutional right in a seminal Supreme Court decision.

00:36:39.660the most important answer i can give to you
00:36:42.740at the top of our three really is it no way out again no okay it is
00:36:46.880the most important answer and it is it will work
00:44:48.660That's not exactly football weather, but, you know, if you're from Texas, okay.
00:44:52.660But when you come home and your house feels warm and inviting, if it doesn't feel that way, maybe you can spruce things up just a little bit.
00:45:03.660Whether you're buying new window treatments or replacing the ones you already have, blinds.com is the way to go bar none.
00:45:09.660And right now, they're running a 40% off special site-wide, which means you have access to a ton of amazing options at a much cheaper rate than normal.
00:45:19.660If you need help selecting what you want, they have design experts that can do live consultations.
00:45:24.660You need help with measuring and installation.
00:49:33.660A typical day will be, we'll give them some classes that are non-lethal aid, like bailout procedures for the personal safety, medical classes.
00:49:40.660We'll give them resources and supplies.
00:49:42.660And then we'll give them resources that are spiritual.
00:49:45.660We give out the audio Bible sticks to them and some other resources to help work on their mental and spiritual health.
00:49:51.660And at the end of the day, once we build that rapport with them all day, we're able to talk to them veteran to veteran,
00:49:56.660combat veteran to combat veteran, peer to peer about spiritual resiliency and mental resiliency.
00:50:00.660That way they can stay in a fight to protect their homes and their families and their freedom.
00:50:05.660And, you know, we know from our experience as warfighters and, you know, that's 20 years of war that we just went through,
00:50:11.660that there's a lot of things you can have on the battlefield, but nothing's more essential than having a strong spiritual foundation.
00:50:16.660And we are able to share the gospel of Christ, you know, with these guys.
00:50:19.660Chad, tell me about the war crimes that you witnessed.
00:50:26.660You know, I've been seeing this since February, since we've been going there, Glenn, but nothing worse than the last few trips because I'm getting further.
00:50:34.660I'm getting more into the front lines.
00:51:55.660It's a five story building blown out to the ground.
00:51:58.660And this was women and children and civilians living in it.
00:52:01.660And this wasn't one that was accidental.
00:52:03.660This is every apartment building in the area had airdropped missile right into the roof of that apartment building that blew it to the ground and killed thousands of civilians.
00:53:50.660It's sad to know that many of them probably don't even know why they were there and they were dead or dying.
00:53:55.660And one of the things I did see of the Ukrainians as we were moving forward and they were they were dying Russian soldiers.
00:54:00.660They were rendering aid. And and that shows who's the good guys, because these guys are rendering aid.
00:54:05.660Meanwhile, these Russians had occupied their homes and killed their family members for six months.
00:54:11.660And the Ukrainians are still rendering aid. I thought that was that really stood out to me.
00:54:15.660Who's on the right side? I want to play a clip from you out on the field where you're talking about mass graves.
00:54:23.660Here it is. This area is one thousand and two hundred people are missing from this area.
00:54:33.660They found one thousand one hundred bodies in this area and they were burned before the buried.
00:54:40.660So you can tell they tried to destroy the evidence of the mass killings.
00:54:45.660Most of the people were their hands were tied, some in front, their backs and behind their backs in executed style.
00:54:52.660So we're not just talking about ballistic missiles and shelling, which we've seen.
00:54:58.660I've seen firsthand driving through cities that are just leveled to rubble civilian targets, civilian neighborhoods.
00:55:04.660But we're talking beyond that just with indirect fire.
00:55:07.660And this is not indiscriminate fire because, you know, we drove through areas and me and my teammate are driving through like they strategically hit every structure, every house, every building, every school, every hospital.
00:55:21.660But now beyond that there, once they take these areas, they're bringing these civilians out here in the woods, tying their hands behind their back and executing them, burning their bodies to hide the evidence, putting them in mass graves.
00:55:36.660And you saw these people with their hands tied behind their backs in the you saw this yourself.
00:55:52.660They counted specifically to others estimated about eleven hundred people and mostly all civilians, mostly because most of the men would have been out fighting.
00:55:59.660Most of them were women, a lot of children.
00:56:02.660And it appeared it appeared what they were using the graves for.
00:56:05.660When I say eleven hundred people, I don't think they killed eleven hundred people one time.
00:56:09.660But I think over six months they did was, you know, as they arrested people, they brought them there, you know, pride bound and handcuffed.
00:56:15.660And then and then would kill them on that side, just push them in as a place of disposal.
00:56:20.660That's that would be my I don't have evidence of that, but be my interpretation of from what I saw it happen.
00:56:25.660And then as Ukraine came in and tried and was retaking that area and it appeared they tried to burn the bodies to maybe hide the evidence.
00:56:33.660But, you know, burning bodies is harder than it sounds.
00:56:59.660So I think Putin has to show strength.
00:57:02.660So I think the only scenarios is that he's going to escalate and do something radical, even more radical than this.
00:57:09.660Or, you know, you have the other scenarios you have the whiskey who can't because the whiskey in the eyes of Ukraine, they're winning.
00:57:16.660And as they're winning, you can't he's not going to go to negotiation table.
00:57:19.660So it would also require Putin to do something that would force him the negotiation table.
00:57:23.660But I think what we could do as a world and I don't mean as America, but as the world is NATO needs to accept Ukraine in the in the NATO or and or the U.N.
00:57:34.660and the International Criminal Court needs to recognize these war crimes and these human rights violations and hold hold Putin accountable.
00:57:41.660And that's what the U.N. is for. That's what that's what the International Criminal Court is for before these exact scenarios.
00:57:48.660But we're not seeing them take action. So what we could do, you and I, is exactly what we're doing right now is exposing this.
00:57:55.660I believe if I would have not leaked this information to Fox, if they would have if I'd have reported it right to the United States government or it would have been swept away because they don't want it to be known because if it's known, then they have to do something about it.
00:58:07.660And so we need to, you know, make sure that it's reporting from the front lines.
00:58:11.660You know, unfortunately, journalists can't make it to these a lot of these areas because it's so volatile.
00:58:16.660And and I get that. But the reporting needs to be needs to be what it needs to be exposed.
00:58:23.660And and, you know, our government needs to be held accountable for these billions of dollars so that Ukraine could if we are going to give if our government's going to decide to give this money, then it needs to go where it belongs.
00:58:33.660Again, I think you and I both agree that this much money is makes the problem worse.
00:58:37.660But, you know, if we are going to give it, then give it and have good oversight.
00:58:42.660If we're going to have an international criminal court system, then use it for times like this.
00:58:47.660The U.N., this is what it's for. This is what the U.N. is for.
00:58:50.660And, you know, I also believe NATO at this point, NATO should accept Ukraine.
00:58:54.660And by the way, in the last I think just a couple of days ago, President Zawinski applied again for for Ukraine to be accepted into NATO.
00:59:03.660Chad, thank you so much for doing everything that you do.
00:59:07.660I know your heart is in the right place. I know who you serve.
00:59:11.660And I can't imagine what this does for somebody who went through PTSD to be over there again and seeing these things.
00:59:21.660So I appreciate your service to him and to us. So thank you so much, Chad.
00:59:27.660Thank you again. God bless. And thanks for all your support, too. We couldn't do it without you.
00:59:31.660You got it. The Mighty Oaks Foundation, he's the founder and CEO, co-founder of Save Our Allies.
00:59:38.660You can follow him at Save Our Allies or Save Our Allies dot org.
00:59:46.660All right. The pain that you're carrying around every day.
00:59:49.660What are you going to do when it's a thing of the past?
00:59:52.660What kinds of things are you going to go back and do?
00:59:54.660You haven't been able to do maybe in a couple of years because pain was always standing in your way.
00:59:58.660I can tell you what I went back to doing painting. I can paint again yesterday.
01:00:04.660I started a commission for somebody and I don't know why I said yes to it.
01:00:11.660It's the hardest painting. It's about it's about Corrie Ten Boom and her sister.
01:00:17.660And it's maybe I hope it will be a beautiful painting and inspiring.
01:00:23.660But holy cow, it's been hard. I've spent like six hours painting yesterday.
01:00:28.660I could not have held a paintbrush just five years ago for more than probably two minutes.
01:00:34.660Literally. This has helped me so much.
01:00:38.660I get my life back with Relief Factor.
01:00:41.660Relief Factor dot com or call 800 the number for relief.
01:01:27.660And I don't trust our own Pentagon to execute a war with this president in a way that would not make things just a hundred thousand times worse.
01:01:54.660And this is, of course, an advantage for Russia in this conflict, because the reason probably why they're threatening all of these things all the time.
01:02:00.660They know we've told them, I mean, Biden's told them that we're not going to war.
01:02:05.660We're not going to use nuclear weapons ourselves.
01:02:07.660We're not going to do any of these things.
01:02:09.660Now, if this thing escalates, who knows what happens?
01:02:14.660And this is why I think it's undersold as a priority of our attention right now.
01:02:19.660It is one of those things that could swing out of control relatively quickly.
01:02:24.660And the bad part of this is the more successful we are in helping Ukraine, the more desperate Putin gets and the more likely this stuff happens.
01:02:37.660And the fact that we are now shipping natural gas or LP over to Ukraine and to Europe to make up for the deficit of those now downed gas lines.
01:02:51.660It only makes us a bigger target as well.
01:02:54.660I'm going to tell you something I don't think anybody saw from Granholm, our secretary of energy.
01:02:59.660I don't think anybody was really paying attention to what she did last week.
01:03:02.660We were and we'll tell you about that.
01:03:05.660And the missing submarine just kind of disappeared.
01:03:09.660NATO, we're watching it, but it disappeared.
01:03:12.660Did it or were you not really watching it as closely as you should have?
01:06:49.660We had a problem with merchant ships back in the 1930s.
01:06:55.660As things progress with the Russian war, the more this thing echoes the buildup of World War II.
01:07:06.660I think we're somewhere between 1936 and 1938, the invasion of the Rhineland and the invasion of Poland.
01:07:14.660But it's interesting because headlines this week have shown that a cabinet level secretary of the United States has called for merchant convoys and armed escorts for the LNG ships going from the US to Europe.
01:07:45.660Now, they didn't use convoy or escorts, but you just just want to make sure that the Pentagon is providing some security for these carriers that are on their way to Europe and they need increased security.
01:07:59.660Now, how are we going to increase security for liquid natural gas with 80,000 tons of displacement?
01:08:11.660And by law, they can carry no armaments, no defensive system of any kind.
01:08:18.660See, this is why Nord Stream was so serious, because it's a private infrastructure.
01:08:26.660And if the Russians claim we did it, then they can claim, well, our private infrastructure is a target as well.
01:08:37.660So, the naval responsibility for all of our shipping security in the Atlantic Ocean falls to a carrier group, a brand new carrier, the most sophisticated carrier ever, the Gerald R. Ford carrier group.
01:08:53.660You know, Gerald R. Ford doesn't instill confidence in me, but now this has been at sea trials for the last two years.
01:09:05.660And it's been, some would say, plagued with issues for their launch system, the electromagnetic launch system, the elevators, the radar system.
01:09:25.660Is it a coincidence that suddenly, and a few months early, based on previous announcement, the Gerald R. Ford has suddenly been declared, oh, it's combat ready.
01:09:37.660Oh, no, you know what, we're going to deploy it, you know, what time is it?
01:09:42.660Soon, in the Atlantic for the very first time.
01:10:15.660Best guess is this is all quietly and informally the U.S. Navy conducting training exercises.
01:10:24.660And they're going out and they're just coincidentally, they're going to just be doing a lot of these things, you know, right up next to the, you know, the natural gas ships.
01:10:36.660U.S. Navy will open up dedicated channels with LNG shipping companies and they will proactively report any, any security concerns or unknown radar or sub contacts.
01:10:49.660And it won't be surprising if Shell and Chevron and Exxon all quietly decide, you know what, we're going to sail right next to that, that carrier group.
01:14:22.660And these drones can go down, be launched from the sub and then go down and sit on the bottom of the ocean, let's say, by a shoreline.
01:14:34.660And one of them would do it, but you they could launch many of these from one sub and they all sit up and down the shoreline and then they wait for the signal.
01:14:45.660And when the sub gives them the signal, they blow them up and it's capable of creating a sixteen hundred foot tidal wave.
01:15:00.660The bad news is wipe a lot of people out.
01:15:03.660The good news is in some ways, I guess, man made climate change, you know, affecting the oceans when man put something down that'll, you know, it's like seven thousand degrees instantly.
01:15:55.660And that new employee, Vladimir was, you know, we he he had a happy birthday, but we did lose the sub.
01:16:00.660So I'd like to think that maybe this submarine is out just, you know, just trolling the waters looking for the natural gas that we're shipping.
01:27:39.060I have told you for a very long time that there's going to come a time when you're going to be you're going to need the spirit so close and you listen to the spirit so closely that when it says stop, turn around, you will stop, turn around and go the other way.
01:27:56.120I've said that for 15 years yesterday, I told you that time is here yesterday.
01:28:02.440I think four times on the show, which is an unusual number for me, unless I really want to make sure people hear it yesterday.
01:28:17.520You will not survive what is coming without the constant companion of the Holy Spirit.
01:28:24.040That's unusual for a public broadcaster to say, but I know it to be true.
01:28:32.620Something I didn't know yesterday, because we booked this maybe a month or two ago, that Max was coming and I knew he was coming with a book.
01:28:41.440And as I'm doing my show prep, I realize what the book is about.
01:29:36.080Well, the Holy Spirit is the living presence of God on our planet today.
01:29:41.460The Holy Spirit executes the will of God, just as Jesus did when Jesus was on the earth.
01:29:49.300And just as God the Father does, primarily prior to Christ, and then Christ executed that will, and now the Holy Spirit is executing that will.
01:30:17.380Christ, the Holy Spirit is here to strengthen us, to convict us, to challenge us, to comfort us, to heal us.
01:30:26.540And I think where you and I align so closely is that as we look back, especially over the last 200 or 300 years of world history and then the 300 years of our nation's history,
01:30:40.120there have been seasons in which we desperately needed societal renewal.
01:30:45.860And those seasons came, Glenn, as a result of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, not as a result of a new policy, a new president,
01:31:04.360But there was a supernatural, we'd look at the First Great Awakening, the Second Great Awakening, even the Jesus movement that we recall from the late 60s or mid-60s into the early 70s.
01:31:15.760There are these occasions in which God in his sovereignty says, I'm going to rescue my people.
01:31:21.500And it's always right in the midst of or toward the end of a time of desperation.
01:31:27.760And I think that's what you're saying.
01:32:50.420A bomb has dropped upon us, and people are either taking their lives or they're checking out emotionally all around us, and we're not aware of it.
01:33:01.840And so it's an insidious attack that we're feeling.
01:33:47.100And this was the promise of Christ on the night before his crucifixion.
01:33:51.100He said, I must leave so that the Holy Spirit can come.
01:33:55.100In other words, what you have had in me in the form of a physical body in the presence of a Messiah, I'm going to leave so that everybody from now on all over the planet can receive that same presence and power.
01:34:10.780You have written during the pandemic that, and I want to quote this, let this observation be included in the history books.
01:34:24.660You mentioned that during the pandemic, I took on a job of a daily podcast.
01:34:30.080And at the end of each podcast, invited people to post their prayer needs.
01:34:34.720And we would read over, we being my team, would read over those prayer needs.
01:34:39.360They came from Connecticut to Cambodia, from all over the world.
01:34:43.340By far and away, the most common statement was, I'm so discouraged, I don't know how to pray, or I'm so weary, I can't find the words, or all I can do is sigh.
01:34:59.300I think that's important because in the conversation about the Holy Spirit, one of his assignments is he takes our prayers and presents them before the tribunal of heaven.
01:35:21.280I mean, do we pray for healing or for heaven?
01:35:23.680Do we pray for deliverance, or do we pray for even death if you're a prisoner?
01:35:32.460We don't know exactly how to weather these storms.
01:35:35.540The power of the Holy Spirit is that he takes when Glenn or Max can't even utter the right prayer, the Holy Spirit says, I take over.
01:35:45.480And I take that prayer, and I take it, and I present it before the presence of God in heaven, which I find so encouraging.
01:35:53.040Because that reminds me that the real power of prayer doesn't depend upon the way I pray, or even I who pray, but upon the one who hears the prayer.
01:36:01.880And that's what will bring strength and help to people during tough times.
01:36:07.320All right, so let me – I have two questions on prayer.
01:36:10.700One is outgoing, and one is ingoing, and they both involve the Holy Spirit.
01:36:15.260Let me get to that here in one minute.
01:36:18.080First, let me tell you about Goldline.
01:36:19.760This year, the Russell 3000 Index tracks the 3,000 largest U.S.-traded stocks.
01:38:42.000But when it comes to the Spirit, sometimes the way I know when the Spirit is communicating what I have to do, it's clear to me when it is something I really don't want to do.
01:39:00.700You know, hey, no, I don't think that's right.
01:39:18.980So, how can the average person that doesn't have that feeling yet, how can they tell the difference between their voice and the Spirit's voice?
01:46:30.220It came out a couple of weeks ago called Help is Here, Finding Fresh Strength and Purpose in the Power of the Holy Spirit.
01:46:38.780You know, when you start talking about the Holy Spirit on commercial radio, program directors generally are like, oh, God, would you stop talking?
01:46:47.000But I don't think there is anything more important.
01:46:50.480If you could just fix one thing, one thing that would change the world, it would be align yourself with the Holy Spirit and begin it today and start listening.
01:47:04.960Because if you don't have that constant companionship, I don't think you're going to make it.
01:47:09.500There's going to be too many close calls and too many things that you'll get off path.
01:47:15.040You've got to have that constant companionship.
01:47:21.100So we were just talking off the air and I described, you know, where I think most Americans are, at least those who listen.
01:47:28.020And ask you to kind of take, you know, take the mic here for a second and speak directly to those who are worried about their country, worried about their children, worried about what is coming next.
01:47:43.040And how to deal with anger and how to deal with anger as well.
01:48:05.320Even though there are parts of the country where population is up 300%, church attendance is down precipitously over the last, over the prior 10 years.
01:48:19.960And on the rare occasion that spirituality is discussed, it's quickly dismissed.
01:48:54.020Because what I just described, what I just described was the way that Presbyterian pastors were describing the United States in the year 1802.
01:49:50.940But then, the reason I included that in the book is because the raindrops started to fall in the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
01:50:00.440Something broke out that historians have called the greatest religious revival in the history of our country.
01:50:08.000There was a group of pastors back in the hills of Kentucky who committed themselves to pray prayers of desperation because the country was in such dire straits.
01:51:02.340No small amount of prayer and groaning and praying.
01:51:07.200And the consequence of that, Glenn, was the second great awakening.
01:51:11.140And that second great awakening blessed our country for a solid generation and led directly to the abolition of slavery, to the defense of women's rights.
