Point of View August 23, 2024 – Hour 2 : Weekend Edition

[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Hour 2, Point of View

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Finally I recognize that the Republican platform and the Democratic platform, and we will post

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_03]: both of those on our election central box which is on the website pointofview.net, have

[00:00:59] [SPEAKER_03]: some of those platitudes.

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_03]: But there's a lot of specificity in the midst of that.

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_03]: And yet I think Dr. Miro Matthews, since I'm looking at your other one, voters will

[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_03]: have to let come to find out what you'll do because she's not given an answer which

[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_03]: is kind of again channeling Nancy Pelosi in the Affordable Care Act.

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_03]: On the next page you talk about some things that you hear time in and time again.

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I will focus on cutting needless bureaucracy and unnecessary regulation and red tape.

[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_03]: You have written a chapter in a book one time which you just talked about how silly some

[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_03]: of this is because each candidate, no matter whether it's Republican or Democrat says

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_03]: we're going to try to make the bureaucracy more efficient and I've yet to see any

[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_03]: evidence of that.

[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_06]: They all come out and say we're going to do that.

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_06]: And the irony here is Kamala Harris made that statement and it's in her, the text of her

[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_06]: speech even as she's talking about say price controls on price gouging.

[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Who's going to decide that?

[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_06]: How many bureaucrats do you have to monitor the country to try to determine whether or

[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_06]: not have price has gone too high?

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_06]: If it's gone too high then how do you get it structured?

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_06]: You have to have a huge bureaucracy to do all the things she wants to do.

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_06]: $25,000 per house okay?

[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Who do I apply for that to?

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_06]: If I apply for that who's what bureaucrats going to look over this to make sure I'm

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_06]: in the right income if income is an issue at all.

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_06]: If I meet all the qualifications and so forth you have to have bureaucrats do

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_06]: these things.

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_06]: If you want to cut government and bureaucracy, cut government and bureaucracy and then

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_06]: you don't have to have those many people.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_03]: One of the other things I thought I just might mention for people to pay attention

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_03]: to is when an individual proposes something it is interesting to see how

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_03]: the press covers it differently because when Donald Trump proposed the idea

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_03]: of removing taxation on tips that was immediately criticized because it would

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_03]: cost the federal government a certain amount in tax revenues.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_03]: A few weeks later we might remember that Kamala Harris proposed the same thing

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_03]: and the press didn't cover it.

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Wonderful idea.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_03]: It is a great estate.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Let me take another one because you have in here the idea of raising the

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_03]: current child tax credit to $3,600.

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay at the top here and maybe people can't read it but I'll be glad to send it to you.

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_03]: This is the argument here that when J.D. Vance proposed a child tax credit

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_03]: of $5,000 here's why this would be difficult because it would cost on the

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_03]: neighborhood of something like $3 trillion over 10 years.

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Then on the top and we have Kamala Harris proposing $3,600 for child or $6,000 for

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_03]: parents of newborns and all it is is one of the best things you've ever heard

[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_03]: out of the mouth of a candidate.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And so you have to understand that sometimes if it's a Republican proposing

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_03]: something that is going to either increase the cost of government or decrease taxes

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_03]: that is a dangerous thing and there are all sorts of fact checkers ready to show you

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_03]: how that's going to ruin the federal budget.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_03]: But if a Democrat in particular Kamala Harris or some other people propose it

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_03]: then it's just a really good novel idea and shows that she cares about the American people.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah and I think you know her handlers are so far doing a really good job of one.

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean I wouldn't, I mean she shouldn't go, she shouldn't talk specifics at all because I

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_04]: don't think anyone's, I mean the mainstream media is not going to demand anything of her.

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_04]: It and the less she has to get specific overwhelming the better for her,

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_04]: the less she has to do one on one the better for her.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Just keep her, keep her, I mean we you know they did it with Biden for

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_04]: almost four years and you know that is what it is but I think the way,

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_04]: you know if I were her handlers I wouldn't have wanted the you know the trailer outside

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_04]: giving abortions. I don't think that was a good look for for for Democrats.

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_04]: But if you just look at how the production of the DNC compared to the production of the

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_04]: RNC, I think the DNC they had a better convention.

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean what they, I mean I don't think it's truthful.

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean I agree with the characterization at the New York Post

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_04]: had with regard to it because I think it was fake and false.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_04]: But I do think overall that you know it seemed to be very American, very I mean their theme is

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_04]: freedom. I mean that's not usually the DNC theme. Freedom is their theme.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Freedom, freedom. Republican and democracy.

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_04]: And democracy.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Democracy and freedom.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_04]: We saved democracy in 2020.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't save it again.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Choice. I mean you know there were stories back in January where they they started highlighted

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_06]: the theme of freedom and January Biden was still going to be the presidential candidate

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_06]: and which some of that strategist said the reason we're doing this is because the term freedom

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_06]: polls really well and it wasn't but it wasn't because we actually believe in this.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_06]: It's because we've posed this and polls well and they ended up making Kamala something

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_06]: like a cross between Perry Mason, Jack McCoy and Mother Teresa.

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_06]: She's a prosecutor but she's a defender and she's also this saint.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Again I think that a wonderful job and that's what we're I mean she hasn't.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_04]: She and I think you've I know you've said this.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_04]: She is not the nominee if Biden decides last year he's not seeking real life.

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean she's not the nominee.

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_04]: She doesn't and so she has not gone she's not been battletest.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_04]: She's not gone run through the primary.

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_04]: She would not be their nominee but she finds herself 70 days away from being elected

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_04]: President of the United States and I think there I think their strategy her handler strategy

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_04]: which are really I mean if everything if anything is true in what what we're reading it's the

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Obama I mean I mean Obama has put his team I mean it's clearly they're back in place

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_04]: and including with Eric Holder sort of being one of the big key point people.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_04]: They're just gonna they're gonna hide her and shadow and duck her and they're just gonna

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_04]: they're gonna make this message and I think that's really when you think about it.

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean I was worried that they would pick Josh Shapiro because I think Josh Shapiro

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_04]: would have been a better vice president candidate if the issues matter.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_04]: If Israel matters if you know Shapiro says he's for school choice he seems to be

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_04]: a little more moderate but they go with Walt's who's not he's very very liberal but they've

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_04]: made him into he's a football coach and a dad and he's just like us he's a hunter

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_04]: have a beer with him he's like sort of a young Joe Biden.

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Well we'll get take a break but I think there's another reason why Kamal Harris doesn't want to

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_03]: do interviews because remember the Lester Holt question about why haven't you been to the border

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_03]: remember her answer well that didn't go well so there's another reason why she may not

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_03]: want to do these interviews because Lester Holt just asked a simple question and that wasn't

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_03]: quite the answer that people were looking for let's take a break we have more to cover

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_02]: right after this. This is Viewpoints with Kirby Anderson. At a conference last month two presidential

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_03]: candidates talked about establishing a strategic reserve for America's finances both Donald Trump

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_03]: and Robert Kennedy Jr spoke to the Bitcoin conference and called for the establishment

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_03]: of a Bitcoin strategic reserve. In addition Senator Cynthia Lummis explained her Bitcoin

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_03]: reserve legislation to the audience that also included other members of Congress

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_03]: and CEOs of companies and billionaire investors. Not so long ago conversations about Bitcoin were

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_03]: taking place on the periphery of society no longer two presidential candidates spoke of

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_03]: the conference and even the presidential campaign for Kamal Harris has been talking

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_03]: about cryptocurrency consider just a few of the comments by the two candidates. Kennedy

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_03]: referred to the Bitcoin strategic reserve as a corruption's greatest foe he also said

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Bitcoin is anti-war. Trump promised to make America a nation that leads in Bitcoin but he

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_03]: also called for an end to Operation Chokepoint 2.0 and for an end to the development of a CBDC.

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_03]: One of the other speakers Michael Saylor who is the former CEO of MicroStrategy refers to this

[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_03]: idea as the Louisiana purchase of our generation. He reminds people that Thomas Jefferson

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_03]: purchased the Louisiana territory for 15 million dollars back in 1803 and nearly doubled the

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_03]: size of the United States. William Seward paid seven million dollars for Alaska that has a trillion

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_03]: dollars of oil underneath it. Will a strategic reserve be implemented in the next few years?

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it deserves attention and should be debated in Congress after the November election.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm Kirby Anderson and that's my point of view. For a free booklet on a biblical view of

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_02]: anti-semitism go to viewpoints.info slash anti-semitism viewpoints.info slash anti-semitism

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_02]: you're listening to Point of View your listener supported source for truth. Back

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_03]: once again this weekend edition and we have in studio with us Dr. Merle Matthews and Jeff

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Matier might just mention that some of you listen to this program a tape delay or sometimes

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_03]: even over the weekend but live as we are here right now we do have Jeff the statement by

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Robert F. Kennedy Jr that he's going to suspend his campaign and tell us a rest.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah so I think it's happening right now specifically he's on the stage and talking

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_04]: so he is going to suspend his campaign he's going to stay on it sounds like strategically

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_04]: stay on the ballot in some states in which they think his and he's even saying this my presence

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_04]: will hurt Kamala Harris but in states other states he's he's pulling out so he's suspending

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_04]: his campaign and he is endorsing Donald Trump so good and there's really only a handful of states

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_06]: of the of the what you call the seven uh swing states that he could actually make much of a

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_06]: difference so I know he was on one or two of those and that may be where if he thinks

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_06]: but it could go the other way because you just don't know and of course the other question

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_06]: is did he he has talked to Trump about this is he is he looking for a slot in the Trump cabinet

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_06]: and if you were going to make if you're gonna put him in your administration you I don't

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I have an idea but I mean that actually I really hope that that because I don't think

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Trump needed the deal no um because I don't think it's in the end of it I don't think

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_04]: his endorsements gonna make a difference I mean I think Trump's winning or losing

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_04]: but it's not going to be based upon um I think that's right but he still might want a a slot

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_06]: and Trump might just give him something I mean I don't know what it would be but it would be

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_06]: interesting to speculate on what he might it doesn't have to be a cabinet slot there's all

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_03]: kinds of advisors and other things that you have mine or ambassador to Ireland because they

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: would

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_03]: shot an ambassador slot might be yeah I mean to the Vatican or whatever yeah that I wouldn't

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Ukraine yeah but um there is one point I'll put on the table I've heard this from you know we

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_03]: talk about never trumpers every once in a while listen to some talk shows where they're always

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_03]: trumpers you know Salem radio network seems to be that way and some of them have said

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_03]: we're still upset about what Donald Trump did about the vaccines and if you have listeners or

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_03]: voters that to use the old phrase are vaccine hesitant um having uh Robert F. Kennedy Jr on

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_03]: your team in one way or another might bring a few of those that said I'm still not gonna vote

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_03]: for Donald Trump because you know he pushed all those vaccines on him but hey I do like kind

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_03]: of Robert F. Kennedy because he's really been speaking out on them I don't know that's

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_03]: a big deal but uh and again I don't know if that makes a width of difference but I thought at

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_03]: least put it on the table because I have heard people say it but I would say this though Trump

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_06]: in his operation warp speed developed the vaccine it was Biden who pushed him on to people

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_03]: impose demandate yeah and again you can't deal with too much about those issues but that is

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_03]: the case I'll take some questions in just a minute if you'd like to join us 1-800-351-1212

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_03]: because I do want to get on to one of the other articles Dr. Matthews you recommended

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_03]: that's on the issue of immigration which we didn't hear a whole lot about a matter of fact there

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_03]: was somebody doing a word count and said Donald Trump's name was on one speech 200 some odd times

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_03]: and the economy was mentioned like five times and immigration was never mentioned but that's

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_06]: nice she did I heard on the speech I didn't I didn't know this Kamala is the big defender

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_06]: of closed borders apparently they she wanted to pass the most restrictive border legislation ever

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_06]: and it was Donald Trump who said don't do this because it would and she's right about that Donald

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Trump actually did put pressure upon Republicans because he thought at that time Biden was in

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_06]: he thought he would be elected he thought he'd be able to do a a more rigorous aggressive border

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_06]: but it is now turned about and I think President Biden mentioned the same thing when he

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_06]: in his speech on Monday night oh they wanted to do the border it was them who wanted to do

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_06]: something about the border and Republicans who stopped him yeah just like we were having when

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_03]: they were starting to defund the police say no the Republicans didn't vote for this one bill

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_03]: about police and so that means that they're anti-police you know again if you're a low

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_03]: end of information voter you might go no I don't know the only time the Biden administration got

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_06]: interested in the border is when it looked like it was a political issue for them and they would

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_03]: lose votes because well since we're in immigration we'll just talk about that because one of the

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_03]: other articles that you recommended is this and again you can go to this this comes from ABC

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_03]: News so we've quoted for the New York Times Wall Street Journal the Hill for sure and this

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_03]: is from ABC News but the watchdog group is warning about an urgent issue at the border

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_03]: and the issue is something that should be bipartisan concerns and that is they've lost track

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_03]: immigration officials have lost track of an enormous thousands and thousands of

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_03]: uncompanyed children and you have to fear where they might end up tell us that that is

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_06]: absolutely right yes the several people reporting this is based upon a report from the government

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_06]: I think Department of Homeland Security who had that ended up admitting that there were thousands

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_06]: and thousands of unaccompanied children who were supposed to be showing up for court case

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_06]: of their court dates did not show up they don't know what happened to them and they don't know

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_06]: where they are or what's happened and in a situation where human trafficking has been

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_06]: taking off because of some of these things that we have going on and because look the vast majority

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_06]: of people who come to work here come across the board illegally cannot get a work permit initially

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_06]: it some of them have been able to get executive orders have been able to but the large majority

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_06]: of them can't if you don't have any money coming across and you don't have a support system here

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_06]: you got to make some money somehow and so some have turned to prostitution some of them turned

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_06]: to human trafficking and other things so it's a real concern out there and this question was raised

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_06]: say you know several times and yet democrats just simply pushed it off and didn't want to deal with it

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_03]: again this is a report that was sent to congress on tuesday you can read it it's getting this

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_03]: from abc news and they are found that over the past five years are you ready for this 32

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_03]: thousand unaccompanied migrant children have failed to appear for the immigration court hearings

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_03]: and the ice that would be again immigration and customs enforcement agency was this is their words

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_03]: not able to account for their locations i mean don't know where they are i'd love to know the

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_04]: numbers the overall numbers how many that's 32 000 children how many how many total failed

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_04]: to appear for their hearings i mean it's got to be it's got to be a huge number yes um which

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_04]: tells me the system is broken and absolutely broken some of the hearings i'm surprised the

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_06]: hearings came up so soon because some of the hearings have been pushed back now into the

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_06]: early 2030s because the waiting line is so long which you let 10 million people in over four

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_03]: years if you back up the system again one of the things that's so intriguing is back to the

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_03]: comment about the 10 million because there is a phrase and dr matthews you and i've been

[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_03]: around long enough to remember we used to talk about 11 million illegal immigrants in this country

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_03]: we were talking about that in the 1990s right and if you read the democratic platform they

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_03]: talk about the 11 million illegal immigrants and they've never updated that number when we

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_03]: all recognize that there have been at least another 10 million that have come in under

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_03]: the biden administration not to mention the other administrations and i don't know what it

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_03]: is about the unwillingness on the part of people talking about border and border security

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_03]: to at least update those numbers to what's probably closer to what 50 million yeah i haven't looked at

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_06]: it a few for several months but if you looked at pew research and others that sort of generally

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_06]: track these where do you think those are accurate numbers they have a consistent system

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_06]: that they've done over the several years and yeah that's usually around 10 12 million people

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_06]: over the past 10 years or so but once they get up to about 19 excuse me 2020 or so 2021

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_06]: they don't usually have those numbers these numbers go back a while but you start adding in all the

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_06]: people that have come in and you essentially double the number that we thought was officially here

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_06]: or that we kind of thought were here beforehand yes and think what percentage that is of the

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_03]: american yeah sure population and again the people that come through here with some of them

[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_03]: are looking for a better life but some of them car certainly are part of the cartels and no

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_03]: trafficking and all the rest and i wondered how would the democratic party deal with the

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_03]: issue of border insecurity and how would the press well it turns out we had an article

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_03]: earlier in the week in which both the new york times in the washington post say what's

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_03]: the conspiracy theory you know jadie vance and certainly has been talking about this

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_03]: trump is been talking about this some of the republican ads are actually saying that

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_03]: this is dangerous well again if you're looking for any evidence how about just going to abc news

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_03]: and going to the report that appeared before congress about the tens of thousands because

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_03]: they only talk about 32 000 but you know that number is more than that tens of thousands

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_03]: of unaccompanied minors we don't know who they are or why they came here the number of people

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_03]: that we've actually caught at the border who are on the tariffs watch list and that doesn't

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_03]: account for all the people that are what are called gotaways and so the answer is well that's just a

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_03]: big conspiracy theory and that's how they're going to try to deal with that over the next 70 days

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_03]: anyway we got some phone calls and i do want to get your comments but we're coming to a break

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_03]: and a couple people want to make some comments so this last half hour will give you some chance

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_03]: to join our discussion we certainly haven't gotten to one of the favorites for uh jeff

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_03]: mature and that's querying of nuclear weapons but we will get to that before the end of the show

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and of course pentadectra has a very good piece on school choice all that coming up right after this

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_02]: it almost seems like we live in a different world from many people in positions of authority

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_02]: they say men can be women and women men people are prosecuted differently or not at all depending

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_02]: on their politics criminals are more valued and rewarded than law-abiding citizens it's so overwhelming

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_02]: so demoralizing you feel like giving up but we can't we shouldn't we must not as winston churchill

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_02]: said to britain in the darkest days of world war two never give in never give in never never

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: never yield to force never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_02]: and that's what we say to you today this is not a time to give in but to step up and join

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_02]: point of view in providing clarity in the chaos we can't do it alone but together with god's help

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_02]: we will overcome the darkness invest in biblical clarity today at pointofview.net

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_02]: or call 1-800-347-5151 pointofview.net and 800-347-5151

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_02]: point of view will continue after this you are listening to point of view

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_02]: the opinions expressed on point of view do not necessarily reflect the views of the management

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_02]: or staff of this station and now here again is kirby anderson. Back once again we're going to

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_03]: take some phone calls here a lot of them about the decision by robert f kennedy jr to support donald

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_03]: trump what that might mean to love to get your thoughts on that let me real quickly just mention

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_03]: for those of you that receive emails from us or especially those of you that are donors

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_03]: i have in front of me first of all our booklet that we just sent out on the importance of

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_03]: voting about 16 pages people loved it so much i suspect we're going to print a lot of these

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_03]: jeff we might mention if you go to firstcelebrity.org slash elections it has to be with the s elections

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_03]: you have a number of resources or if you would like to see what we have at point of view go to

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_03]: the website on the right hand side scroll down to election central and we have voter guides

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_03]: we have of course some of these booklets we have election resources fact checkers and articles

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and we also have included what you have put together in the past about can a pastor address

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_03]: these issues from the pulpit you can find that at first liberty dot org slash elections or you can

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_03]: find it also in our link at the 2024 election central so those are some resources i hope

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_03]: that you will take advantage of but um some of you want to talk about robert f kennedy so let's

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_03]: give you a chance 1 800 351 1212 and we'll head out to ohio first diane thank you for calling today

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah i i'm i'm uh curious if robert f kennedy polling any numbers i know in in national polls at all

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_04]: about five percent is what i was here and i think it's worth yeah i that whoa right i mean it

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_06]: keeps going down it had been at times 15 i think almost 20 at one point right um and that's been

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_06]: several months ago but it has been declining significantly and with kamala harris coming in

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_08]: it seemed to drop a good bit more i would like to suggest that someone questions where he might

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_08]: be useful to trump he he penned a book called the real anthony fowlchee oh yeah and he has

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_08]: a real working knowledge of vaccines from a worldwide perspective and would be very effective

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_08]: countering any um action from at one point they were talking about giving power to the u n to

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_08]: right announce mandates and i think it would be effective and i'm i'm sorry i don't speak very

[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_03]: well no you've got the point and that's the point i was making too you know the people that were against

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_03]: the vaccines or vaccine hesitant concerned about that concern about the world health organization

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_03]: who even the world economic forum the weh uh each a f and some of those were certainly issues

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_03]: and i've heard a number of people say that that may be significant which is why some people said

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_03]: well maybe we'd be the secretary of health and human services i doubt that because he's not pro

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_03]: life and that would be something you would think would be a non-negotiable but you don't know and

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_03]: again read the book by um robert f kennedy jr read the book by ran paul our next callers in

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_03]: kentucky i mean you've got some pretty good facts that uh some of these individuals have put on

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_03]: the table that certainly have not been well covered by the mainstream media and i'm just looking at

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_06]: cbs news they have a map here of the states he is on and of the swing states he is on north

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_06]: carolina and michigan um and uh he's not on arizona but there's uh with wisconsin pennsylvania

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_06]: and um nevada he is he has it says he has the signatures needed but he's not on the ballot

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_06]: yet so there's actually several states that he is uh on but most of me they're going to be blue or

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_03]: red states right and he'd actually taken his name off of arizona which is why that one showed

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_03]: there so diane i think you were really raising a question and i was raising about whether or

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_03]: that might be helpful in the uh possible trump campaign and even possible uh trump administration

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_03]: let's go to kentucky since i mentioned kentucky a minute ago ran paul certainly addressed that issue

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_03]: scott you went to take on the issue of robert f kennedy jr so what would you like to add

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_01]: well sir it's it's this um you were making kind of light of kennedy i think in a nutshell

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_01]: what she said it really won't make that much of a difference for trump and i'm thinking if i'm rfk

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_01]: listening to that okay dude i'll throw my support to harris i remind us all that the republicans

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_01]: back at the midterms were doing all this big red wave thing we're gonna have a big red wave

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_01]: remember all the all the guys from sam now gallagher beck um carl jackson all we're gonna have a big

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_01]: red wave didn't turn out did it you got vain and you got pride and it didn't turn out did it

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_01]: now we got a kennedy this guy's a kennedy we should be saying oh man i hope he does

[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_01]: i i know we he wants to throw his support to trump we need to welcome that with open arms

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_01]: and be all about that because we're gonna need everything we need everything we can get

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_01]: to do this battle you republicans i'm a registered democrat i haven't voted for a democratic president

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_01]: since carter you guys need all the help you're gonna get okay and if rfk even if it's one percent

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_06]: hey bobby thank you yeah if i sounded like i was making light of it i surely didn't intend to but

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_06]: the reason just because he throws his support there doesn't mean his supporters will do that

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_06]: they'll reassess some may go to trump some may go to harris some may stay home um and because

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_06]: that percentage has been shrinking it's it's not real clear over the past six or seven months

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_06]: there's been discussions as to whether or not who would be hurt most by rfk's people would it be

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_06]: would it be at that time biden or would it be trump and for a while there the notion was

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_06]: they would probably biden would be hurt by that and that it would ultimately throw it to trump

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_06]: over the past three or four months it's sort of shifted to think maybe trump would

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_06]: benefit from that so it's it's not real clear where people go but he does have some support

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_06]: and those need probably need to be in the background states because i point out he's got some

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_06]: in the background states where they're not when now that he pulls his uh if he suspends his candidacy

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_06]: are they not going to put his name in wisconsin and mission in some of those other states that

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_06]: they could have been pennsylvania is one of them so we just i i think it's just real hard to

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_06]: know where that will go for hopefully in the uh after uh after the vote and you get the polling

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_06]: when people come out we'll get a sense as to what happened but i just don't know that we know

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_03]: you know scott raised another question and that is a good one you know the where did that red wave

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_03]: go and go and it didn't come it did not and i think there uh hopefully is a wake-up call for a lot

[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_03]: of individuals because i can come up with some scenarios that don't take much for comel Harris

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_03]: to be easily winning the number of electoral votes now first of all let's talk about pennsylvania

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_03]: because i cannot come up with a scenario by which donald trump wins these other swing states

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_03]: and does not win pennsylvania so pennsylvania is very very key and of course we heard the other day

[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_03]: comel harris won at least one of the people that was on her staff said we see pennsylvania is very

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_03]: key which again why didn't they pick josh apiro but never know that said that was probably

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_03]: a benefit for donald trump but this is going to be a closer election than i think some of these

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_03]: pro-trump people were saying just a few months ago when they thought they were running against

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_06]: joe biden is that fair well i think that's absolutely fair and you just don't know how this

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_06]: is going to shake out because comel harris comes in she's largely a blank slate she doesn't have a

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_06]: lot of details out there and she's coming across with this sort of i'm very happy i have a joyous

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_06]: campaign and i you know i i read i sort of think there may be some people who just feel like

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_06]: i'm ready for something different um so it's it's i i just don't think we know and and look a lot

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_04]: a lot of it goes to donald trump and in his campaign he's got to define harris he's got to

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_04]: run against the biden harris record but he needs to speak about those issues right he

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_04]: we talked about the low information voter trump trump can't cater to the low information voter

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_04]: he's got to he's got to bring them up to provide information and they need to hit he

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_04]: needs to hit the economy he needs to he needs to define harris and and when you talk about the

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_04]: the red wave i absolutely agree with the caller it was there and i get people were talking about it

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_04]: and the reason was trump had the opportunity and it was going really really well for about

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_04]: 10 minutes in his convention speech and then the wheels went off right and the wheels quite

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_04]: frankly have been off since then and he's got to bring it back and he's got to be more specific

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_04]: and more direct and talk about facts and the good news on this is that david mccormick the

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_06]: the senate candidate in for pence in uh Pennsylvania yeah has already got an ad out where he's showing

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_06]: what comma has comma saying something here and then later she flips and so those those are those

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_06]: kinds of ads are just gold i think when you talk about how people how she has flipped on so many

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_06]: things and so the real question is will the wheel comma harris please stand up because we don't

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_06]: know you've been you've been right on everything we just don't know which time you were so we're

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_03]: going to take a break let me just mention those of you that do listen we always of course play

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_03]: penned extra's commentary at the quarter hour to the top of the hour and this is on school choice

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_03]: so i did want you to know that we've posted that and you can hear that but also want to

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_03]: take another phone call and if we have time might talk about of course this is my booklet on

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_03]: nuclear war which in large part is based upon this incredible book by annie jacobson who has

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_03]: been writing about that but um this whole idea of querying nuclear weapons um it just can't get

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_03]: any more bizarre and we'll talk about that right after this school choice is a 2024 election issue

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_00]: and we need to hear more about it from candidates seeking public office gaining

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_00]: educational freedom is an important goal for families who live in neighborhoods with sub par

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_00]: public schools this is why black voters more than any other race support school choice in a

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_00]: wall street journal op ed joshua robertson senior pastor of the rock church in harrisburg pennsylvania

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_00]: encourages the presidential candidates in both major political parties to quote listen to these

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_00]: constituents when it comes to educational freedom pastor robertson who is also ceo of

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_00]: black pastors united for education points to morning consult survey data which states that

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_00]: nearly 80 percent of black voters endorse policies like education savings accounts and vouchers these

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_00]: plans allow public education funds to follow students to the schools or services that best

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_00]: fit their needs he says black communities need courageous leadership that will equip our students

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_00]: to thrive and yes democrats do need courage to face the opposition while 71 percent of all voters

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_00]: support greater access to better education options teachers unions stand in the way claiming

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_00]: that choice harms public schools financially pastor robertson responds to that concern stating

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_00]: we want properly funded public schools and education freedom at the same time it's possible if our

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_00]: leaders don't play politics in an interview before the presidential debate this past june

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_00]: donald trump said i'm a big fan of school choice i think school choice is a great thing

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_00]: he added school choice is a big deal and we're going to get it actually we are getting choice

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_00]: in some states and the recently adopted republican platform endorses universal school choice as

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_00]: kamala harris courts the votes of black americans she hears the cries for educational freedom

[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_00]: pastor robertson says he'd like to see her party earn our votes by backing school choice

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_00]: it's wise policy and smart election strategy for point of view i'm pennadexer you're listening

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_03]: to the news and let's see if we can go out to uh... kentucky this time allane thank you for joining us today

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_07]: oh thank you for taking my call i just wanted to wholeheartedly agree with the other

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_07]: colors that said that it was a good thing for uh robert f cany jr to endorse trump

[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_07]: not only do we use any extra support or votes that

[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_07]: we can get from his supporters but also i just really appreciate how he wants to

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_07]: drain the swamp of the night

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_07]: and also the cbc

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_07]: oh don't stop there

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_03]: keep going

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_03]: you're going to get a good start

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_03]: let's call this call the good start

[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_07]: well you know i think he's kind of directed towards that direction so i just started there but

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_07]: i'm sure there's more that needs to be drained but also a couple of really good interviews that i've

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_07]: benefited from was going on youtube and i heard dr phill interview donald trump

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_07]: and on one and then rfk on another one and those were such good interviews i learned

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_07]: so much about both candidates and from that and i appreciate dr phill's kind of objective

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_03]: perspective there yeah and tbm i would recommend anybody watching those and certainly

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_03]: he's gotten much more political in the old days he was just kind of doing psychology and

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_03]: he recognized the future of the country is an issue and i think he's done a great job of

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_03]: getting into queer studies and getting into transgenderism and getting into politics and all

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_03]: the rest so very good well elaine maybe we can get the good doctor on sometime that'd be kind of

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_06]: don't i recall that oprah winfrey sort of made him by bringing him on and now she i mean she

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_04]: met dr phill actually i when dr phill was a jury consultant yes um the firm i worked with

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_04]: used him actually worked with him on a few cases that was up in dentin if i remember right it was

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_04]: courtroom sciences and then oprah was introduced to him during the beef trial remember the beef

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_04]: trial on amaryllis about the armor uh and that's where dr phill was employed by oprah's um lawyers

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_04]: and she said there's something he's got something which he had to wonder she spoke at

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_06]: the dinner crime convention i wonder if she she feels bad now that she gave them the

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_03]: the attention that he of course they were showing all sorts of pictures where after she was critical

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_03]: of trump they showed all sorts of pictures of trump and oprah over the years and all that

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_03]: but again i just could not resist when we talk about nuclear weapons and of course this booklet

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_03]: that we produced on nuclear war is very sobering but the more sobering part is the new york

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_03]: times so you know it must be true according to new york times the biden administration has

[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_03]: changed their nuclear posture whereas before they thought that the primary nuclear threat came from

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_03]: russia it instead they think now may be coming from china and so the argument that is made in this

[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_03]: particular policy document is we saw a remarkable change three and a half years ago now what happened

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_03]: three and a half years ago in which now the senior defense officials are saying that the

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_03]: strategy is now to deter russia china and north korea can't think about what happened

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_03]: three and a half years ago but uh maybe there was less concern on the part of our enemies

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_03]: given who might be in the white house and so if that's not enough then we have to get

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_03]: jeff this is for you the left-wing lunacy because you have an individual in the biden

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_03]: administration who is a special assistant to the nuclear security administration this is part of

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_03]: department of energy the national nuclear security and administration who is really promoting diversity

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_03]: equity and inclusion dei but then goes on to even talk about the need for the queering of our

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_03]: nuclear arsenal your head is exploding but what are you thinking about this thing well i mean

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_04]: i mean i really i mean this does seem like parody right yeah it's just i mean these are not serious

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_04]: people and she's for disarmament i mean i just i mean these are people who are concerned about

[00:40:16] [SPEAKER_04]: nuclear arms our tax dollars you want to have a clearing this here's number one why is this person

[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_04]: and you know i i i think about it it's sort of like you know when we talk about airlines

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_04]: i mean do you want air i mean who do you want flying your airplane you want the most qualified

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_04]: person or do you want the most that fits in with dei i mean i pick on mark cuban every once in a

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_04]: while but i mean mark cuban when he picks the people for the the dalis mavericks to play in

[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_04]: his basketball team i mean he's meritocracy yeah it's not who subscribes to the most radical

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_04]: point of view and so i mean i i just who i mean i can't even talk about it because it's just so

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_04]: ludicrous that we're putting people i mean and this is i mean it's not like it's a little thing

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_03]: these are nuclear weapons are we painting rainbows on our bombs well and gary bowyer has had the same

[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_03]: problem that jeff has because he says she says that queer theories about rejecting binary choices

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_03]: and zero-sum thinking such as the tenant that nuclear deterrence creates security and disarmament

[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_03]: creates vulnerability indeed queer theory helps us not only see the bad of the world with nuclear

[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_03]: weapons but imagine a good of a world without them and gary bowyer says i will say something i

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_04]: seldom will say words fail me i mean i mean this is our opponent i mean the chinese what i mean

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_04]: it just i really don't i mean it's so outrageous it can't be true but you know it's a i mean that's

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_03]: a reputable that's why i posted this booklet on nuclear war i think we are so far away from that

[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_03]: that a whole generation doesn't realize how awful something like that could be and how easily

[00:42:26] [SPEAKER_03]: with the wrong kind of misstep you don't just have a limited nuclear confrontation you have

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_03]: nuclear catastrophe and for a time when again joe biden was asking what was asked one day by

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_03]: what would you think is the most existential threat to the world he doesn't say nuclear arms

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_03]: nuclear policy he says climate change climate change and these are not serious people and

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_03]: somewhere along the line i think we have to understand that we may end up paying a heavy

[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_03]: price and i mentioned douglas murray for just a minute ago douglas murray has been saying

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_03]: i don't know if this will happen in my lifetime but it might in which all the stuff about victimizing

[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_03]: in a victim mentality all that's going to go away because we're going to have such a crisis

[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_03]: it could be a cyber attack it could be an economic downturn it could be a nuclear

[00:43:24] [SPEAKER_03]: exchange we're going to need courage you know and all the whining is just going to go right

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_03]: out the end of our world and in some respects when you see people that are in these positions

[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_03]: and they just are not serious people that concerns me about the future of america and i think if

[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_04]: there's a harris administration china will take taiwan because i don't think there'll be a response

[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_04]: there's not going to be a response you know what happens in ukraine who knows what what happens

[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_04]: in europe um with the russians i mean i i just can't imagine when you have this i mean this is

[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_04]: this is nonsense i mean it's absolute nonsense i mean we've been kind of joking about it but the

[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_03]: thing is i mean this is crazy this is this is crazy this is the existential threat yeah which

[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_03]: nobody seems to be talking about which is why we did a booklet on nuclear war just to remind

[00:44:16] [SPEAKER_03]: people how horrible and unthinkable it is but if we don't think about the possibility and

[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_03]: understand deterrence and try to really understand what we can to prevent this from happening

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_03]: queer theory is not going to be the answer to it sorry anyway guys thank you for joining us today

[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_03]: we were having a little bit of fun at the end but i think it's a serious issue and um

[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_03]: we started by wondering if robert f kennedy would endorse donald trump i think we have that

[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_03]: answer and we've had a couple of callers talk about the benefits that come from that first
