and the four and the four people that the gents just mentioned but yeah this is the first in a
00:04:33.780
series of debates that we're hosting across 2024 um the premise being that you know trump and biden
00:04:39.680
might not debate probably won't but we still believe uh in the virtue of civil debate we still
00:04:46.580
believe in an america where we solve our problems and get to the truth not with our fists but with
00:04:52.540
our words right so we're doing a series of debates on issues that really matter to americans starting
00:04:58.260
with immigration and then um and then tech capitalism and and foreign policy so we're really
00:05:03.460
really excited to come to texas so barry do you really do you really think we don't fight with
00:05:13.120
our fists i mean it seems as though unfortunately and as i'd like to remind everyone in the audience
00:05:21.640
i don't want to live like haitians do haiti not a good scenario um you don't you don't want you
00:05:30.320
don't want to live under barbecues rain well that too i was just thinking i like law and order you
00:05:36.760
know you like barbecue too but not that particular yeah yeah um i i'm i am really concerned about
00:05:44.680
what's coming this fall me too me too um i mean i i wish i had something there's not a smart clever
00:05:53.840
quip i have to say to that i'm really really concerned about the direction that this country is
00:05:58.440
headed um you know i live in a in one of the blue cities i imagine you guys talk about in this
00:06:04.520
program where you know the most basic expectations that you have as a tax-paying law-abiding citizen
00:06:13.100
are not fulfilled and i'm someone that has forgive the word guys but the privilege of being able to
00:06:19.920
you know move my family if god forbid we needed to where i could you know pay in my neighborhood it's
00:06:25.580
sort of south african like people pay like a private security service because the cops simply
00:06:29.900
don't show up if you call them and you know that is an unsustainable situation and you know it's it's
00:06:37.020
quite shocking to me you know that um the democrats you know who you know say what you want about trump
00:06:44.220
etc but you know for for those people who tend to vote democrat they're just looking for a party that
00:06:50.580
allows them to say what you see with your own eyes is true things are not safe in the way that they ought
00:06:59.680
to be and we're going to make them better i mean it's such a simple proposition and the fact that
00:07:04.420
that's not what's on offer is is really baffling uh to many of us so yeah i i find that interesting
00:07:11.460
they don't they don't seem to react to uh actual conditions and people yeah politics i mean it's
00:07:20.120
it's it's a little disturbing because it's kind of like what do you know that i don't know or are you
00:07:25.560
that blind and i don't i don't know maybe blind or arrogant is the answer yeah i mean i think that
00:07:34.380
there is just as as you both know such a an increasingly tiny bubble um that a lot of the
00:07:42.740
people in you know the political class and also in many of our sense making institutions inhabit and
00:07:48.720
that's a world in which you know you can go to a dinner party this is a real life example that my
00:07:53.020
wife experienced and you know the majority of people think it's quite normal to suggest that
00:07:58.000
they shouldn't have kids because of global warming now that is just like in a different
00:08:03.500
universe than what most americans are thinking about which is the price of their milk the price
00:08:11.100
of a roast chicken at the grocery store the price of their gas how much it costs to buy a home and
00:08:16.780
very very basic things like are we becoming more like haiti or less and a lot of americans
00:08:22.800
you know are running toward the right because of those basic issues so let me let me bring you back
00:08:29.440
to the border here for a second i cannot figure out the end game here because you have every you
00:08:38.200
have the pentagon you have the department of homeland security um you you have everybody saying all the
00:08:45.000
lights are flashing red we're at high alert well if god forbid something happens everyone will know
00:08:54.360
that it most likely happened because we have an open border how does the how do democrats survive
00:09:02.520
that i i mean they're not if at least if you're looking at the polling and you and you believe
00:09:10.180
that the polling is accurate an overwhelming number of americans are listing immigration and
00:09:16.640
specifically illegal immigration as the single most important issue in this election that's pretty
00:09:22.940
mind-blowing considering that there's a lot of other issues that really matter and this is one
00:09:28.120
that's a choice where it doesn't need to matter so you know it's from just a purely strategic
00:09:34.380
perspective politically it's very very baffling to me and i have to say especially i'll put myself on
00:09:41.280
the hook here you know i am someone who is just very pro-immigration as a general rule you know like
00:09:47.220
every american i'm a descendant of immigrants but in my case um more recently maybe than a lot of other
00:09:52.400
people um given the jewish expulsion out of europe under hitler but you know after october 7th and
00:09:59.880
watching you know what is possible what can come you know what violence and barbarism can come over
00:10:07.240
over what israelis believed was an incredibly secure border i am just looking at the issue in a very
00:10:14.120
different way now and i'm taking it personally a lot more seriously um and and you know i i can speak
00:10:20.740
not on behalf of the jewish community but definitely on part of a lot of people i know that they're
00:10:25.160
feeling similarly i think that most people thought you know most people coming over the border and
00:10:29.920
perhaps this is still true or seeking a better life they're like my grandparents could be true it's
00:10:34.900
just we don't know and the idea that you know we just don't know is is is bad enough can i ask you
00:10:42.220
being um you know an immigrant or immigrant family from uh yeah i should be clear i'm not an immigrant
00:10:51.060
it's just no no no i know you're you're family um yeah um i was born and raised in pittsburgh yeah
00:10:56.460
no i know that i'm sorry it didn't mean it i told you you weren't on a smart show um but you know you
00:11:03.720
probably you know you i know you grew up hearing the stories but probably never thought it would happen
00:11:09.000
here and now to have to see what you're seeing on the streets what does that feel like
00:11:16.360
really really disorienting and alienating um you know i grew up in such a proudly jewish and proudly
00:11:26.020
american family i grew up in a family in which you know when things were said to me i remember waiting
00:11:31.940
for the school bus with my second sister and a catholic school bus drove by and they called us kikes and
00:11:36.460
dirty jews i never heard those words before and the attitude on the part of my family was that's
00:11:41.320
so embarrassing for them they don't know that this is america we don't do that here and that was just
00:11:46.820
the ethos that i grew up under in other words the ethos that you know the founders of this country were
00:11:52.940
steeped in the hebrew bible that you know towns and cities across this country are called
00:11:58.980
shiloh and canaan and you know and all of the all of the city and town names of
00:12:05.740
of of the land of israel and you know europe wasn't like that this was a country not based in
00:12:12.120
ethnic nationalism and blood and soil we know how that ends up but based in a set of ideas
00:12:17.640
you know benjamin franklin wanted the image on this country's great seal to be moses crossing the red
00:12:23.140
sea abraham lincoln called americans the almost chosen people because he read his bible and not for
00:12:30.660
nothing his name was abraham you know he was named for the very first jew of all and so that was i
00:12:38.140
didn't even think of it as a worldview because that's how certain it was for me and certain it
00:12:43.980
was for you know at least the american sort of the golden moment that i grew up in and you know
00:12:50.720
beginning about five years ago with the neo-nazi massacre in the synagogue where i became a bat mitzvah
00:12:56.860
tree of life um that all started to shift and you know on the one hand it's the big picture i think is
00:13:06.220
a story of of ideas and the truth is is that you know america is based on them and when we are loyal
00:13:13.440
to those ideas when we fight to renew those ideas when we pass those ideas on to our children this is a
00:13:20.720
unbelievable place to live not just for the jewish community but for every single minority and
00:13:26.880
striver that has ever called america home and when we abandon those ideas and when we give in to a set
00:13:34.960
of ideas that pit us to get pit us against each other that suggest that america is not the last best
00:13:40.980
hope on earth but you know based on an ideology of white supremacy not not really worth fighting for
00:13:49.200
no better glenn than a country like haiti that's when things start getting dark and that's what
00:13:54.960
we're starting to see here you know i don't know if you saw there was a viral image of one of these
00:14:00.640
groups it feels silly to me to even say they're pro-palestinian no they're they're anti-israel
00:14:05.420
they're anti-jewish and they're anti-american yes they got up on stage at a and an easter mass
00:14:10.920
screaming their heads off what does that have to do with with the war in gaza like what does any of
00:14:17.500
this actually have to do yes with a tragic war that's happening 10 000 miles away in a place that
00:14:24.240
most of these people can't locate on a map they claim to be fighting for the lives of innocent
00:14:29.720
godsans who are tragically dying in this war but it's really about something much much darker i mean
00:14:35.900
that you have the entire middle east playing that game they all say they care about gaza then open
00:14:41.360
your borders the reason why they won't open their borders is they know that it is not about that
00:14:47.300
and every time they do open their borders there's some sort of revolution that starts i mean if
00:14:52.460
they if they truly cared but they don't they care about the destruction of israel not the people of
00:15:00.400
gaza it might be yeah and i yeah and i just you know i think one of the things that's alarming for
00:15:08.120
it's not just jews it's just anyone anyone who reads history understands that societies where
00:15:13.480
anti-semitism is allowed to thrive are societies and regimes and cultures that are dead a hundred
00:15:20.440
percent of the time like when anti-semitism is allowed to flourish it means your society that's
00:15:26.220
the five alarm fire and it's coming you know it's coming from the left and it's coming from the right
00:15:31.880
too and they are presenting themselves in really different ways but at the same time and it's
00:15:37.340
obviously something that i'm i'm thinking about and trying to fight with every fiber of my being
00:15:41.960

00:17:55.920
joe biden released a proclamation on friday and i want to make sure that everybody understands that
00:18:06.920
the transgender day of visibility has been you know a thing since like 2009 this year it fell on easter
00:18:17.500
but i i think that's why more people paid attention to it you know i don't really care
00:18:22.900
any given sunday you want to whatever on transgender day of visibility we honor the extraordinary courage
00:18:30.300
and contributions of transgender americans and reaffirm our nation's commitment to forming a
00:18:35.460
more perfect union where all people created equal and treated equally throughout their lives i'm proud to
00:18:41.400
say my administration has stood for justice from the start working to ensure that the lgbtq i where's the a
00:18:49.260
plus community can live openly safely and with dignity and respect i am proud to have appointed
00:18:56.720
transgender leaders to my administration serving openly in our military i you know i i got a problem
00:19:05.760
with that i just i do i'm sorry i'm sorry you can that's cool you know you want to but i'm sorry
00:19:13.900
general wear pants wear pants i am proud to have signed historic executive orders of strength and
00:19:22.620
civil rights protection in housing employment health care education justice system and more i'm proud to
00:19:27.760
have signed the respect for marriage act into law ensuring that every american can marry the person
00:19:33.300
they love because love wins so his administration is working to stop the bullying and harassment
00:19:44.900
who now who now transgender children children children no no it's glenn that's that is a a right-wing
00:19:59.160
conspiracy theory they're they're not trying to do that to our kids that's not something that even
00:20:04.040
exists it's just a made-up fever dream of the right that's in the proclamation oh the department of
00:20:10.460
justice take action to push back against extreme and un-american state laws targeting transgender youth
00:20:17.180
and their families and the department of justice is partnering with law enforcement and community
00:20:22.080
groups to combat hate and violence you know what that what he's talking about is families that say no
00:20:28.280
you can't just take my child and give them a sex change that's his idea of justice today we send a
00:20:38.360
message to all transgender americans you are loved you are heard you're understood you belong
00:20:43.200
you're america my entire administration and i have your back okay now the problem is that it was on easter
00:20:53.140
and it's not like this whole transgender thing falling on easter this year was a surprise to jesus
00:21:04.640
you know what i mean he wasn't surprised by it i think we were maybe surprised by it we're like what
00:21:12.220
jesus was like yeah dummy didn't see this coming i mean seen this coming read about it in my book
00:21:20.140
uh but uh so he wasn't surprised and honestly um the people who are destroying universal truths
00:21:31.960
of gender they're not an enemy of ours they're not they are an enemy of god's laws
00:21:41.740
and it's for him to work out um because he's not surprised by any of this he's not um i i was
00:21:53.960
it was weird because i it must have been brought up to me over the weekend just in my family like
00:22:00.480
four different times dad did you hear what joe biden did yes i did let's celebrate easter
00:22:09.100
um i mean i feel sorry for people who are trapped in in their bodies you know they feel trapped in their
00:22:18.040
bodies um that is a horrible horrible way to go through life but even uh caitlin jenner
00:22:25.380
condemned the pronouncement she said the international transgender day of visibility created march the
00:22:34.680
2009 continue to be celebrated uh blah blah blah uh i am absolutely disgusted that joe biden has
00:22:43.600
declared the most holy of holy days a self-proclaimed uh devout catholic as transgender day of visibility
00:22:52.060
the only thing you should be declaring on this day is he is risen that's caitlin jenner
00:22:59.820
yeah and so and we i know you've included some of this context earlier in the show i guess they
00:23:06.720
apparently started transgender visibility day back in like the late 2000s yeah and easter change on this
00:23:12.640
day it's on march 31st every year so occasionally which has happened i think once before since this
00:23:19.560
thing started it falls on the same day as easter so it wasn't biden saying declaring this day i want you
00:23:26.460
know no i know but didn't he do this on like thanksgiving wasn't there a transgender day of
00:23:32.340
visibility 150 of them there are 28 related hall 28 international asexuality day oh that's
00:23:41.780
international day of pink day of silence harvey milk day pansexual and pan romantic awareness day
00:23:49.840
international drag day pan romantic day what is pan romantic sexual and pan so you're
00:23:56.360
wait who's a pan you're pan romantic you're romantic with any gender but not sexually attracted
00:24:03.660
like you're just going out to you're just hey this is like candlelight dinners with can i can i buy you
00:24:09.040
a drink tonight yeah nothing sexual nothing sexual at all we're just gonna have a nice romantic dinner
00:24:13.980
i like that there's also entire months devoted to lgbt causes including pride month in june
00:24:25.240
lgbt history month in october transgender awareness month in november you get a transgender
00:24:32.640
awareness month and a visibility day i mean george washington can't even have his own birthday
00:24:38.720
they're combining them for our hit for founders right and going the opposite way this is crazy you know
00:24:44.920
what let me tell you something if you're lgbtqia plus and jewish you never have to work a day in your life
00:24:56.280
every day is a holiday you combine jewish holidays with all of the lgbtq holidays i never see you at work
00:25:06.820
never that's true there's there'd be no days to work there would be none left there'd be nothing
00:25:13.100
there'd be nothing nothing left i think you have like three days maybe in february
00:25:20.220
that's incredible and the funny thing is they at one point asked the quote-unquote founder of trans
00:25:28.940
visibility day why they i'll put they because i just don't know which way it went what do you mean
00:25:34.760
by that yeah hey what what why they put it in this time period it was because they needed to avoid all
00:25:40.480
the other trans days that was like the reason why it wasn't a target of easter in theory at least
00:25:45.880
that's what their claim was it was i believe that it was just like there's too many other days if we
00:25:50.680
make it a month later it's too close to trans awareness month or whatever else is on the schedule
00:25:55.520
i mean just dissecting the calendar i mean you could put the rainbow on the white house
00:26:01.580
but could you have made them a little more pastel-ish so you could also have those an easter
00:26:08.040
rainbow my favorite part was they uh the people who were pushing back against this because you know
00:26:14.280
i will say some on the right initially who the hell would know the history of trans visibility day
00:26:21.020
so initially they were like oh gosh i hate her people on the right were assuming with i think
00:26:28.340
good suspicion here rational suspicion that joe biden just created this day and put it on easter
00:26:34.060
which i would not put it past them at all to do that so when people are going by that some people
00:26:38.860
were pushing back and saying actually this isn't joe biden doing this and of course joe biden loves
00:26:43.600
easter as you know he's a devout catholic and in look by the way at the what at the white house site
00:26:49.140
the easter bunny's right on the site they put the easter bunny right on the site not the easter
00:26:56.120
bunny yeah and if they didn't like easter they wouldn't put the easter bunny on the site guys
00:27:00.420
that's not the easter we're talking about that's not the one we're concerned about it's not the
00:27:04.720
easter bunny kind of easter we're complaining about here right we know they probably only cares about
00:27:11.260
the easter bunny easter because all the good union jobs at hershey
00:27:15.180
yes the pork the fine folks at cadbury i need them to vote for me like we all remember they
00:27:22.740
do the egg roll right we all remember joe biden does the easter egg hunt thing at the white house
00:27:27.900
because the remember the easter bunny had to pull him away from reporters who were asking him
00:27:32.520
questions last time no no no that was two times two times ago last time it was the transgender and
00:27:39.540
gay people lifting up their tops right going topless so we've got we've got a great easter
00:27:45.400
tradition happening at the white house how could you possibly think he wouldn't honor easter after
00:27:50.800
all of that why would you be suspicious you know cardinal wilton gregory came out he was on face the
00:27:57.440
nation and they were like so he says he's a catholic and the cardinal's like yeah no
00:28:05.600
no cafeteria catholic which isn't really a catholic cafeteria catholic is like i'm gonna have
00:28:13.300
some of that and maybe a little bit of not that not that none of that and he picks and chooses i mean
00:28:21.140
i don't understand how these people can say they're catholic when you know they're for abortion
00:28:27.800
do you know that it was the catholics that have led the way on the pro-life thing from the beginning
00:28:33.760
the other religions didn't seem to care all that much for years it was just the catholics
00:28:40.700
you know the i mean the homosexual thing i guess it was cool with priests for a while but uh not for
00:28:48.900
anybody else how how how is that man a catholic
00:28:54.700
i think many catholics would argue he's not and i've made that argument publicly but see that doesn't
00:29:02.640
work because i ask every day the same question how is this man president and many would argue he's not
00:29:10.780
but still he keeps staying in there so i guess i don't know maybe we don't know how this works
00:29:18.100
daniel cameron a former attorney general of the great state of kentucky now the ceo of 1792 exchange
00:29:28.900
daniel how are you i'm doing well glen how are you thank you so much for having me on oh you bet
00:29:35.700
you bet so talk to me about what's happening at disney well look uh as your listeners probably know
00:29:44.460
uh disney is in the a big proxy fight now as it relates to uh who will ultimately sit on their board
00:29:53.120
and this is all coming to a head because in my theory of the case is that because disney got into
00:30:00.580
some of these political agendas a couple of years ago in florida they've taken their eye off the ball
00:30:07.200
and so whether it's bob eiger or their current iteration of their board those folks have shown
00:30:13.740
and demonstrated that they're more concerned about a political agendas as opposed to producing a good product
00:30:21.260
and so there's another group uh that is namely led by nelson peltz that wants to shift the uh strategy
00:30:29.360
of that board a lot of this has to do with succession planning if you will and whether disney is going to
00:30:35.260
continue to have a focus on high quality product and customer service or are they going to focus on
00:30:42.400
these partisan political agendas um and at 1792 exchange i want your listeners to know that in the
00:30:50.680
coming days we're actually uh going to to share information on board members uh in a way that
00:30:57.480
people can understand why boards are making some of the decisions that they are making again that's
00:31:03.140
1792 exchange.com that information will be forthcoming again it's to help listeners of this program
00:31:11.720
know why are boards doing what they're doing why did disney engage against ron de santis governor
00:31:18.840
de santis in florida on a very responsible bill to protect our children why did disney come out
00:31:26.040
against that who's driving those decisions uh that's what 1792 exchange wants to explore that's
00:31:31.720
what we want your listeners to understand and i know again your listeners are are concerned about this
00:31:37.240
because they're concerned about the very fabric and foundation of this country who we are is a country
00:31:43.320
what are our businesses engaging in are they engaging in again creating those high quality products are
00:31:49.720
they in the business of business uh as uh uh our president calvin coolidge talked about or are they
00:31:57.320
about partisan political agendas so um you know when you look at the the direction of disney i can't believe
00:32:09.480
it went on this long because i've never seen a brand flush down the toilet faster than disney that was
00:32:19.320
that was a an untouchable brand of trust and i think that trust is gone can they save it
00:32:30.600
glenn i i i think your your at your your analysis is correct there has been certainly over the last few
00:32:37.640
years um a shift in mindset by disney to not focus on making disney the happiest place on the world and
00:32:48.520
and providing and producing good family content that can that folks can gather around on and and just
00:32:54.920
watch on a friday night as a family or go to a park and and just enjoy time at a park and uh you know
00:33:02.440
rise and rise and have a good time they have injected themselves into political debates uh and injected
00:33:10.520
themselves in a way uh that in many ways sort of skews against traditional values and when people and
00:33:20.600
when people go to a park uh you know they want to have a good time they don't want to be uh they don't
00:33:25.960
want to have an agenda pushed on them but unfortunately disney has gotten into that world and because of
00:33:33.240
it their shareholders have suffered i mean if you look over the last few years the s p 500 just as a
00:33:40.760
whole has been performing better than the share price of disney and i have to believe it's because
00:33:46.520
the credibility of their brand has been harmed by the fact that they've engaged in these political
00:33:53.560
ideological fights that they frankly should just stay out of you know glenn you know that michael
00:33:59.720
jordan in the 90s said something to this effect he said you know republicans buy shoes too what he was
00:34:06.440
trying to say is that that as as an entity as a business as an organization we shouldn't be engaged in
00:34:16.360
in getting into the middle of policy debates that the legislatures that the representatives of their
00:34:23.160
states need to make decisions on businesses shouldn't be in that and that's what 1792 exchange is
00:34:29.000
about we want to make sure that businesses get back to the business of business it's a it now seems like
00:34:35.160
a novel idea to say that but most americans most citizens recognize that our companies need to be
00:34:42.040
about particularly our public facing entities need to be about the return on investment to the shareholders
00:34:49.880
need to be about producing those high quality products and they've got to stay out of these
00:34:55.640
political agendas especially when those political agendas largely are being driven by the far left or
00:35:02.840
the human rights campaign uh that is in many ways underwriting these extremist agendas that are hurting the
00:35:11.080
fabric of our country um i have to tell you it's such a great job and service that 1792 exchange does
00:35:17.560
um in case you've never been there you should go they rate all of the companies i mean
00:35:24.200
how many companies are up now you know we've got over yeah we glenn we've got over 2500 companies
00:35:30.680
thank you for saying that yeah and our flagship project product is what we call the corporate bias
00:35:37.000
rating and so glenn as you've noted it basically tells uh your listener if you go to 1792 exchange.com you
00:35:44.840
can go on there find our corporate bias rating our cbr for short and it will rate a company if the
00:35:52.200
human rights campaign for instance tells you the the more woke you are the better what we say as a
00:35:58.280
counter is that no the more woke you are it's actually making it's hurting your company and it's hurting
00:36:05.720
ultimately the consumer because what the consumer cares about again is that high quality product they
00:36:11.880
they want a product uh that is good and so if you are in the product of making or if you're in the
00:36:17.880
business of making really good consumer products that's what you need to focus on and unfortunately
00:36:23.960
we've seen a lot of companies that have been um they've been taken over by an extremist element or a
00:36:31.640
far left element they've shifted their mindset and and what they are focused on such that the product is
00:36:39.160
suffering that the return on investment to the shareholder is suffering and that cannot continue
00:36:45.720
if we want to continue to be that shining city on a hill we want to continue to provide opportunity
00:36:53.960
and build the best equipment and and provide the best services and our businesses have to reorient
00:37:02.360
themselves and get focused again on remaining neutral and at the end of the day producing that high
00:37:11.480
quality product that every consumer again your listeners your families care about do you think
00:37:17.720
that people are the companies are starting to change and learn their lesson yet glenn i think so because
00:37:24.200
again whether you're talking about it um if if other publications are talking about uh other
00:37:31.240
uh commentators are talking about it this stuff is getting into um is getting into the national
00:37:41.480
conversation and dialogue and now people are starting to wake up to it and they realize that companies
00:37:48.120
aren't focused on their primary business they're focused on political agendas that benefit the far left
00:37:55.160
and as more people know about this the more it's going to have an effect on pushing back against these
00:38:02.040
companies and getting our companies back to neutral and back to what they should be about which is
00:38:07.400
again working hard to produce good products so daniel you were a uh you were an attorney general so
00:38:13.640
you might be able to wing i'm sorry this is a little unfair to just spring this on you but
00:38:17.880
do you know anything about uh all state and or was it all state or farmers i think it was all state
00:38:25.000
that just pulled out of california uh and said you know we're in i think they left maybe 60 000
00:38:32.920
customers there canceled everything else and just said too expensive not going to do it i i'm really
00:38:39.160
worried about the banks and the insurance companies because the insurance companies and the banks can make
00:38:46.440
business impossible to do if they don't if they don't allow you to open bank accounts or they
00:38:53.240
they uh deperson you uh and and the same thing with insurance companies if they decide to make guns
00:39:00.440
a giant risk then you're not going to be able to afford to have one you know that's something in 1792
00:39:07.800
exchange we we think a lot about and glenn you're you're very right to bring it up i mean this whole idea
00:39:13.160
of debanking meaning that a bank because you're in a uh what you know what could what they might
00:39:19.240
describe as an industry that they don't want to deal with whether it's it's guns or um you know other
00:39:26.680
areas that pertain to our constitutional rights if if you are a christian entity or christian organization
00:39:33.800
and uh they don't like that about you you know the threat of debanking is real and and we deal with
00:39:41.160
with with with folks that have that concern um it it is a major consideration and again it's one of
00:39:48.520
the reasons 1792 exchange exists it's because we want we want consumers we want christian business
00:39:55.560
owners we want folks in the gun industry to understand uh who are the best banks the best insurance
00:40:04.360
companies to do business with based on the idea that you will be canceled because you're in the gun
00:40:11.320
industry or because uh you're christian or religiously affiliated so this is a big issue it it it it touches
00:40:19.640
on our constitutional rights and so we have to stand up as the attorney general of kentucky i was
00:40:25.800
often uh in the position of defending constitutional rights it's one of the reasons i love being at 1792
00:40:33.480
exchange because we continue to do that work and and walk alongside allies to protect uh the religious
00:40:43.320
expression and freedom of expression of people that is enshrined within our first amendment and protect
00:40:49.960
the second amendment uh in our gun rights by making sure that we're holding accountable these insurance
00:40:56.920
companies and banks so that they do not cancel um the folks that are protected by the first amendment
00:41:03.800
and our second amendment daniel thank you so much this uh daniel cameron um on disney what's coming on
00:41:10.520
disney and also 1792 exchange you can find all the information on uh disney i would imagine it's in your
00:41:17.320
your spotlight bias reports is that where it's going to come out daniel yeah look what yeah so look uh
00:41:23.960
april 3rd is when the big shareholder meeting is for for disney we are going to be spotlighting some of
00:41:29.640
the the board uh folks that that are involved in the board decisions at disney and you can find that
00:41:35.720
information you will be able to find that information on our website okay 1792 exchange uh dot com thank you
00:41:42.200
