happy that President Trump, you know, regained his position once again.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Amen.
Speaker 8 (02:55):
Hey, Christmas came early. Everybody when Trump won that, Yeah,
it really didn't.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
You know, he put together the greatest on back.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Of all time.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Well, that means a lot coming from you, Henry, Henry,
I got a follow up question. You love America so much,
what did you name your firstborn America?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Amen? That's awesome baby. Yeah. Well, you know, let's talk
real quickly.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
In both your sports teammates post teammates, fighters, did you
get any pushbacks within your industry, like does someone call
you up and say, hey, man, I saw I saw
you on the Trump State, Hey.
Speaker 8 (03:26):
I saw you speaking.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Yes, they told me I had no dolls and no backbone.
But I had to listen to my own heart and
go against the naysayers who was talking?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah? Was there a lot of them? Would you say?
They're a lun full of them.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It's always going to be a lot of naysayers, a
lot of haters, and a lot of talkers. But they
didn't deteriorate my opinion about Trump. They didn't interiate my
representation for Trump, a nice president forty seven that we're here, Yeah, Henry,
how about you?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (03:59):
Likewise, in particular, you know, being Hispanic, it's it's a trip.
It's a trip because people don't it's you know, now
they think I'm a racist?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Are you the face of white supremacies?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's usually what what sometimes they'll call you. That's how
delusional the left is. All of a sudden, you.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Cover the face and even the fact that me and
a b you know, obviously, you know, we'll come from
different backgrounds. The fact that we represent somebody who is
a different color than ours just you know, to me,
it's all about America.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
To me, it's all about you know, are you willing
to I mean.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
What can you do for your country?
Speaker 9 (04:32):
And you know what to Brian?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
To further your point, I think that's the thing about
President Trump that makes him such a fantastic president.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
He represents all people.
Speaker 9 (04:39):
Here.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
You see three people, all gladiators in our own respective arenas.
But yet even still the things that are different about us,
we all have one thing in common. We love this country.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah yeah, let's let's shift over to sports just for
a second. I know there's a lot of sports fans
out there that want to, you know, maybe get.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Your thoughts on stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Greatest moment in your football career that the one moment
that stands out to you.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I mean, I know you've accomplished a lot. I want
to know that.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
What would it be, uh, the greatest moment?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah? What what?
Speaker 9 (05:11):
Probably the next moment?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
This moment right here, this moment right here, man, your
greatest moment.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
God stand in the moment.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
We all know the better part of that played.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
Off the field.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, well yeah, super Bowl's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
How about you, Henry, what's the what's the most standout
moment for you in your career?
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Yeah, there's there's nothing like representing your country, you know
here in that American you know that that national anthem
as you get it, as.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
You're receiving that gold medal.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
I mean, there's nothing like it. There's you know, obviously
the usc bots are cool, but that that's that's every weekend.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Like the Olympics is every four years.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
It's it's every day.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
And you know, I feel like I stole it.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Amen, But now you earned it the hard way, folks.
How about you? You you gotta you know what I think.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
For me, if I had to, if I had to
say the most important moment in my sports career, I
could say it was winning the New Nationals. But I
think I would have to say it was the things
that happened outside of the ring.
Speaker 9 (06:04):
Brian.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I think it was the friendships that was made. I
think it was the strength that was added to my
relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And I
think it was the inspiration of getting them no guys
like this, you know, Floyd Mayweather opened a lot of
doors for me, and Henry was a mentor to me
early in my career and now even later. It's so
humbling when a guy like ab is at an F
one racing and a friend of his can look at
(06:25):
him and say, hey, be ayb, that's Huey Vuitton right
there there he goes. And you know, because I grew
up idolizing these guys. Man, but God will just open
so many doors if you give them the opportunities.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Growing up, he will amen to that.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Growing up, who did you look up to in your
sport or maybe perhaps out of your sport.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
I used to look up to Dion Sanders. I think
he just made football for me fun. It made it
look cool, you know, being a little kid having to
run fifteen minutes grate it could be stressful. So you know,
I always idolized Deon Sander's for the inspiration how he
played the game, being a little lead player and watching
them play in the NFL, the energy brought, the health, styles,
(07:04):
the performance. I think that enabled me to want to
play football and represent well.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
He's got a lot of sizzles, so do you. There's
a lot of sizzle.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
On this stake right here, Henry big mentor for you
growing up, someone you looked up.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
To, honestly was President Trump before he became president.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
I would, I would. I read all of his books.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
The Apprentice. We used to watch this, We used to
watch that in high school. He was a big inspiration
for us, you know what I mean. Obviously there's life
after sports, and I think he brought more of that
confidence of hey, go out there and go out there
and understand the financial world.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, Brian, I would like to further Henry's point. You know,
one of the first places I ever met President Trump
was out of boxing match. You know, he come to
see Floyd Mayweather fight Manny Pacio, and I remember the
conversation that we had with one another. I was rarely
rather staggered by what he said. He I said, so,
President Trump, who are you rooting for?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Rather Donald?
Speaker 9 (07:57):
At that time, Donald, who are you rooting for? This evening?
Speaker 8 (07:59):
He said, he kind of puzzled.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
He looked at me and he said, well, you got
one guy that lives in this country that's spending millions
of dollars paying all this money in taxes. He come
from a really rough background and he's really achieved the
American dream. He's done so many great things in his career,
almost as if it was a no brainer. I said, no, no, no,
mister Trump, I'm with the money team. And he said,
you're with the money team. I'm with the money team.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
He said, I like that.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
You're I'm room for Floyd Mayweather, Floyd Money Mayweather. And
I said, hey, say on my man, that's awesome, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
On January twentieth, President Drum gets sworn into office. If
he was to call you up, he says, hey, Antonio, Yeah,
that's me.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Hey, what should I do on day one? What's your
answer to him?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Megamerica a MAGA movie theaters?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I like that, Yeah, yeah, I thought. Henry calls you up?
Henry says, what should I do on day one? What's
my number one priority?
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Banned females from man's sports or banned men from females?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (08:57):
Both both absolutely?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
How about you, Huey day one? Day one?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
If I had to ask President Trump to do us
one thing, I would say, sir, if there's any way
that you can find it in your heart to run
his VP alongside somebody like your son, because we can't
get enough of.
Speaker 9 (09:14):
You, man.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
We want you to stay in office as long as possible.
I want to hear from the crowd in this room
if you people can have President Trump for more than another.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Four years, make some noise. Yeah, that's what we want
for Christmas, that's what he wants.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Well, we certainly appreciate your bravery, your courage, your sports,
your heroes, your accomplishments.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
We certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Give it up a thank you, Brian, You're the best.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Hue and Antonio Brown. We've got more coming up from
Manifest twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Don't go anywhere, all right, welcome.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Back as we enjoy day three, now day four President.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Trump, and that is the one that everyone has been
excited about. Of course, we have some great people here
speaking so far, but when we ask around Brian, everyone
says they cannot wait for President Trump, and for good reason,
because this is his first major speaking event since being elected.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, and that's tomorrow. Speaking time is around ten o'clock.
They have them stated for about an hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
But if I know, President Trump is probably gonna speak.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
All of that, maybe even two hours. As you said,
this is the first big speech since that since the election. Okay,
so We've had all kinds of people stopped by this desk. Earlier,
we talked to Arizona's own Eli Crane about the state
of Arizona and what should be on the agenda from
day one when.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
They go back to Congress.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Take a listen joining us now, Congressman Eli Crane from
the great state of Arizona. And I'm telling you right
now your state and Michelle, you and I both know
this has been the folk and the last two or
three elections in this country, it's all come down to Arizona.
But you guys delivered it for President Trump.
Speaker 11 (11:07):
Yeah, we did, and a big part of it comes
to uh has to be you know, go to Turning
Point Action, Turning Point USA.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
And everything that they did here.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Man.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I mean, these.
Speaker 11 (11:16):
Guys really helped get out the vote and really got
into the colleges as well, which, as you guys know,
is not easy when you're a conservative.
Speaker 10 (11:24):
One of the number one issues this year was obviously
the open border, Arizona being a border state, even though
every state's a border state at this point, How has
that affected your state specifically?
Speaker 11 (11:34):
Yeah, I mean it's in it's insane here. I think
when I moved here, from California. I got out of
the military. I was station there. The only thing that
went up price wise was car insurance because so many
illegals are driving.
Speaker 8 (11:47):
And when they hit you, you know, they.
Speaker 11 (11:49):
Don't have insurance, and so people they hear about, you know,
the primary concerns like you know MS thirteen, raping, killing
young American girls, fentanyl, terrorists, et cetera. But there's a
lot of secondary and tertiary things that you know, Americans
have to deal with because of this flood of.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
The legal immigration that we have coming into the country.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, you've done a fantastic job as being a good
spokesperson for this state on the national level to fight
not only the corruption, the election corruption in Arizona, but
definitely the open border. I turned our attention to this
next session of Congress. Congratulations in your win. It's nice
to get re elected in your district. Yeah, and really
(12:28):
and the people obviously in your district support you. What
should the first priority be on this next session of
Congress as far as you're if you had a kind
of a pecking order of things you want to focus on,
what should it be?
Speaker 11 (12:40):
Yeah, I think it has to be border. We had
a meeting with Tom Holman this week in DC. I
know that that's going to be a heavy lift because
of how many illegals have come into the country. And
I know that the mainstream news is going to do
everything in their power to pull the heartstrings of American
people as we not only secure the border but then
deporting people.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
And so that has to be number one.
Speaker 11 (13:02):
And then I think, you know, some of the tax
packages and energy you know agenda will come after that.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, this we's the.
Speaker 10 (13:10):
Our deal was really an opportunity for Trump to set
the tone coming into the administration. How do you anticipate
Congress working together to confirm the MAGA agenda move forward?
Speaker 11 (13:21):
Well, because he has so such a robust agenda, I
think that a lot of it's going to cost money,
and that's we're the power of the purse.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
So especially when I've just talked about.
Speaker 11 (13:30):
This massive lift in securing securing the border, but then
even starting the deportations is going to take a lot
of money. And I know that members of Congress, a
lot of us are very enthusiastic and excited about helping
the President achieve his agenda. But it's going to be hard.
We have a very slim majority, and there are some there.
There are quite a few people up there that don't
like President Trump. They may act like it to his face,
(13:53):
but they don't like him when when the cameras are
off and when they're talking behind his back.
Speaker 10 (13:57):
So you're confirming there's more rhinos.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Than we think one hundred percent. Yeah, it's gonna be
it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 11 (14:03):
There's a lot of establishment Rhino Republicans whatever you want
to call it, up in Washington.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Still, Yeah, and he sees it firsthand.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
He sees it first hand. Shifting gears a little bit.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Drones seems to lead the stories the last week or
two weeks. What can we do on a congressional level,
What should that be something you guys look into. We
talked to Attorney Kittle Toney, General Kim Pax on the
show not too long ago that there's really no legislation
right now on controlling that.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
But what can we do?
Speaker 11 (14:34):
Yeah, well, we had two hearings just last week. We
had one in Homeland Security. We had a classified brief
and unfortunately the intelligence community and Department of Justice with
either don't know what's going on with these drones or
they were lying to US. I know they lie to
us quite a bit, so I don't know which one
it is. But one of the things I found interesting
(14:56):
about that hearing was with the FBI.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
You know, they have like a you know, to billion.
Speaker 11 (15:00):
Dollar budget and they only spend about half a million
dollars on anti drone warfare and technology. And so that's concerning.
That's something that we can look at in Congress. And
what concerns me coming up is you got massive events
like the inauguration, the Super Bowl, the World Cup coming
here to the USA. And if you don't see the
correlation between how warfare is changing overseas in Ukraine and
(15:21):
Russia and you know, terrorists individuals trying to apply that
here in the country, you're you're misled.
Speaker 10 (15:29):
Talking about Trump's cabinet picks. Obviously a big mantra is
letting him have his cabinet. How important will that be
in this upcoming term to get everyone.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
Through It's going to be massive, you know, whether it's
Pete hes Toulci, Gabbert, Bobby Kennedy Junior, you know, those
cabinet picks are going to be. Like any organization, the
leadership always sets the tone. Washington wants it to be
somebody who's compromised, neutered and won't disrupt too much. But
I think Trump has shown us that many of his
(15:58):
picks are actually very keen to the issues and more
than willing to disrupt the swamp and turn the thing around.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
So that's why you're seeing so much pushback.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I want to get your.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Thoughts on, you know, Elon Musk has weighed in a
lot on policy, and is it kind of put out
a warning shot to senators or really any kind of
anybody in politics that if you don't get behind President
Trump one hundred percent, you could get primary The mainstream
media is having to melt down on that.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
The left is having to melt down.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
What's your thoughts on Elon being so involved in policy
making to a certain extent.
Speaker 11 (16:32):
You know, I think it's good in a way because
one thing I've seen in Washington is it it's not
that we don't have a lot of smart people up
there with good resumes.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
It's that we don't have a lot of people with.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
Courage, and we don't have a lot of influence because
the mainstream media is controlled by the left. So when
you take the richest guy in the world who's bought
into the MAGA movement, and who has the biggest communication
platform in the world, saying I'm going to primary people
that get in the way of Trump's agenda.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
I think it's a fantastic thing.
Speaker 11 (16:56):
I hope Elon continues to learn about the federal government,
because I know it's not his forte.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
But I also hope that, you know.
Speaker 11 (17:02):
He does use leverage, you know, and you know, his
his wallet to you know, to really put the fear
of God and anybody that's going to stand in that way.
Speaker 10 (17:12):
And last question, a lot of people excited for DOJE,
what do you think they need to be cutting?
Speaker 8 (17:16):
First?
Speaker 10 (17:17):
What is a primary concern here?
Speaker 11 (17:19):
I mean, there's just so many areas to cut from
the federal government, but we have a body largely that
won't cut anything. And it was hilarious because those guys
came to Washington, d C. About three weeks ago, and
it was hilarious. Elon and Viveck gave their little summary
of what they wanted to do. Then they opened it
up for Q and A and all the moderate establishment
Republicans ran to the mic and I thought, Oh, here
(17:40):
we go. These guys are gonna tell Elon and vivek
what they tell us all the time, why we can't
cut anything, you know, or there's gonna be pandemonium, the
sky is gonna fall. And what they actually did was
they introduced themselves and then they said, oh, I can't
wait to help you guys cut. They were like little
fanboys and fangirls in there, and me and the conservatives
were like, what you guys won't cut anything?
Speaker 8 (18:01):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 11 (18:02):
And so it was just bizarre because you saw it
this week when reality, you know, rubber met the road.
Speaker 8 (18:08):
When we had a CR, a spinning bill.
Speaker 11 (18:11):
It was supposed to be a clean CR and then
it was fifteen hundred pages just loaded with all sorts
of poor special interests, nonsense and Elon Wade in and
so it made heads role in Washington, DC and a
lot of people got really scared.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Okay, last question, real quickly, if I get to it.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
How did the feel to go back to.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Congress after the election when you won and you had
to walk around and I know that when I was
on Capitol Hill it felt different.
Speaker 8 (18:36):
It felt great.
Speaker 11 (18:37):
People were more excited, and for me personally, it felt
really good because you know, I got in some pretty
historic fights in Congress as a freshman, people said my
career was over. You know, I was part of the
group that als did Kevin McCarthy, and you know my message.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
My message was, hey, you can't come to Washington, d C.
Speaker 11 (18:54):
You can't fight, and the people will send you back
if they see you fighting. So and I know you're
no strain to you know that whole that whole thing.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
But it was good.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, the great Eli Crane joining us.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Give it up if you're a congressman here in Arizona.
This guy is making a difference. Keep him in office.
We got more Amfest twenty twenty four right here from Phoenix.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
All right, that guy is awesome.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
Yeah, I think has a very bright future. You could
see it with some of these patriots that are in office,
right And.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
He was absolutely right in terms of if you can't
if you come to Washington, you may have all the
financial backing, if you don't have a spine encourage to
make big decisions and that may not be sometimes popular
amongst the establishment, then you might want to go find
another career.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Well, what he confirmed which we all knew, as well
as the fact that they're more rhinos in Congress. Brian
than you would lead on to or you would.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Think there's a bunch of them that say they're maga,
but they're not really maga. All right, The next guy
up that we spoke to earlier is.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Is all maga.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
Oh yeah, yeah, And this is actually a guy from
the state I moved to from Pennsylvania, my new home, Florida.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Let's give it up for Byron Donalds.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
We ch had from with him earlier.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Take a listen, all right, joining us now, Congressman Byron
Donald's from Florida nineteen your state of Florida.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Okay, news, State of Florida.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Great.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
We just had elon Crane on a little bit earlier,
kind of shaking the bushes and finding out what's going
to happen this next session of Congress and maybe what
in particular that you would have maybe tried to tackle.
Speaker 12 (20:31):
Well, the first order our business when we get back
is going to be border policy.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
We need to do that immediately.
Speaker 12 (20:36):
We want to try to have that on the President's
desk when he gets inaugurated, or at least sometime, you know,
before Valentine's Day. We want to make sure that they
have that there so they can start the process of
deporting people out of the country that need to go
back to their home countries. It'll save us a ton
of money by going through this process. Second thing we're
going to have to try to tackle, probably when we
(20:58):
do border stuff, is the debt ceiling. We're gonna have
to take a first swipe at that, take care of that.
They're to give President Trump us some runway to be
focused on the agenda.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
Last thing we want is.
Speaker 12 (21:09):
To give Chuck Schumer the ability to try to jam
us from the Senate. So those are the two quick
things we've got to get done, and then you get
those done quickly, it gives you a lot more ability
to get everything else accomplished.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
We've been talking about it a lot today. Elon Musk
a hot topic. He's obviously been involved with policy lately.
How do you feel about Elon Musk kind of getting
involved in politics From a candid.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Way, it's een.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
I love it.
Speaker 12 (21:34):
I think everybody should be involved in politics. This place
works best if people are involved or they're paying attention,
they're fully engaged, holding us accountable, keeping us like kind
of where we.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Need to be able.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You're safe.
Speaker 12 (21:49):
Might be good, Yeah, you're good, I mean, but Listen,
the system doesn't work if everybody's not paying attention.
Speaker 9 (21:56):
That's what got us into the mess.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Out work, now that's true.
Speaker 12 (21:58):
So we're in this mess now thirty six trillion massive
agencies that don't do what they're supposed to do. Because listen, America,
best country in the world. Most of our people have
been focused on their lives, building their businesses, great in
their families and it's all great stuff. Yeah, but the
federal government in Washington has been operating without much of
a check from the American people.
Speaker 9 (22:19):
Love the elons involved.
Speaker 12 (22:20):
We got to keep that going because that's how you
save the republic.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
Follow up real quick with that, because dog is very
big on cutting all of the waste. Where should they
focus their energy?
Speaker 12 (22:30):
First, You got to focus in every alphabet soup agency
they're out there, because these agencies is death by a
thousand cuts with these guys.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
So it's everything from the.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
SEC, CFTC, Treasury, ohcc, DEA, FBI. You got to get
into every one of these agencies. If you get that
town thinking about being efficient and responsible with the people's money,
then it gives us the opportunity to stabilize our debt
and then having the will to start paying it down,
getting our deficits under control.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I asked you line the same question. The drone seems
to be a very popular trending and everyone seeing them.
What should be done in Congress that we could maybe
put some legislation on.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
And if these drones flew over your house, what would
you do?
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Well?
Speaker 12 (23:13):
First of all, if it is over my house, I
probably shoot it out of the sky, okay, or do
your best? I mean, look, the drone problem is in
some part is a national security risk.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
Not I don't know how.
Speaker 12 (23:25):
I don't know how much a concern is because I
haven't seen a briefing on it, but it's it is
a risk that we've got to make sure we have
our arms around.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
This is where.
Speaker 12 (23:33):
FAA's definitely evolved, probably defense, but we need to know
a lot more and gets serious about this.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Now.
Speaker 12 (23:40):
I will say the future of our economy, there is
going to be more aerial drones doing a lot of things.
We have some super cool concepts that are on the
horizon right now in the United States where I mean,
we're about to say, made you remember the Jetsons? Oh yeah,
So like for the young people, you know, we're over
(24:00):
We're basically there, so you could have the technology.
Speaker 9 (24:03):
We can see that in the next twenty to forty.
Speaker 12 (24:05):
Years where you have cars at low flight that are
transporting people as opposed to.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
Just on the roads.
Speaker 12 (24:11):
Like these are all the next waves of innovation in
our country, But we want to make sure that we
have security down in our country that matters first.
Speaker 10 (24:19):
That was my next question is how do you balance
that with national security threats and ensuring that you do
have a safe country.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
I mean, you balanced it like we've balanced so many
other things. You know, we went to automobiles that was
a security risk at one point, you know, so there's
all these things, cell phones, computer systems.
Speaker 9 (24:36):
Now we're on the verge, not even on the verrg
AI is here.
Speaker 12 (24:39):
The question is the scale upon which it will be
deployed in the United States. Cryptocurrencies, all these things can
be looked at from a negative point of view. But
if you have the smart regulatory framework, not a democrat
driven regulatory framework, but a smart one coupled with a
real understanding of the potential risks, it'll allow us to
be able to be innovation if in our country take
(25:00):
advantage of those those technologies help to grow our economy,
change our economy in ways we can't contemplate. But it's
really about bettering the lives of people, and I think
that's really where we want to try to get to.
All right, January.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Third, you guys potentially could elect another speaker.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I know it's preemptive.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
To kind of think ahead, but a lot of people don't.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Really like Speaker Johnson right now.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Chances that he remained speaker, or maybe it goes more
than one round, I don't what do you what.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Do you think at this point?
Speaker 10 (25:30):
Well?
Speaker 12 (25:31):
Look, I mean, first of all, right now nobody's running.
I think for Speaker Johnson, his responsibility is to make
sure that the members who have concerns that they get addressed.
You know, my advice will be there needs to be
some serious changes in kind of the governing style and
the leadership style, and not just from him, but the
entire leadership team. We have a ton of work we
(25:52):
got to get done. I mean, so if you look
at our calendar, and if I was to get super technical,
you'd be like, are you guys? Can you guys get
all that done? And the truth is we can, but
it starts at the top. So I think the number
one thing is he's got some conversations he's got to
have with members of our conference. If they can get
past those concerns, then the second order of business is
(26:12):
getting to work and forgetting what's happened here.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Byron Donalds, he's one of the good guys in Washington,
d C. Keep fighting for America, Keep fighting for Florida.
Speaker 9 (26:20):
Oh yeah, always fighting. He's always fighting for Florida, always.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Fighting for Florida. Right, we've got plenty more. Let's take
it back inside.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
You know, well, January third should be very interesting to
say that.
Speaker 11 (26:31):
Now.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
I think all of us are on the edge of
our seats waiting for that one.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Brian, Yeah, that will be must see TV coming up.
We've got more must see TV here from Phoenix as
we are in day three tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
President Trump today. Yeah, we've got that as well. But
we got more on the other side of the break
stick around.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
All right, welcome back Day three am fest. As we
uh start to wrap it up and we will will
be transitioning into the faith portion of this program, which
is incredible.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
And that's one of the things that Turning Point does.
If you're looking for a church, raise your hand. Well,
there's a lot of you out there always looking for
a church.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
But I do have a church as well, so I
should keep my hand down. But if you are looking
for a church and you don't know where to go,
my next guest can help you out on that. Neil
Maman is my churchfinder dot com dot dot org. Thank
you for correcting me on that. Uh, this is brilliant.
Walk me through the premise of this idea and how
(27:47):
it works well.
Speaker 13 (27:48):
The basic function, basic concept here is one point seven
million people look for a church every month.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Wow, that's a mom or dad. That could be six
million people looking for a new church. Well, we don't
want them to go to the woke churches.
Speaker 13 (28:02):
A lot of good churches have become woke and a
lot of bad churches are out there.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
So how do you find a good church?
Speaker 13 (28:09):
Because you don't want you to have to visit church
after the church after church, and then three months into
it you're like, oh, I didn't know they were woke
because it doesn't say anymore, or they just.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Give up oh yeah yeah, or.
Speaker 13 (28:19):
Worse, your kids are in that Sunday school for three months.
Who knows what you're learning in that Sunday school. So
what we do is we have this my church, find
a daughter, or if you go there, you can put
in your zip code and find a church.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Now you had everybody raise the handles looking.
Speaker 13 (28:32):
For church, but we want if you go to a
good church, we want you to go.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
To our website.
Speaker 13 (28:36):
Because every pastor has to fill out the form themselves.
So there's a link there that says email my pastor.
You click on it, put in your name and your
pastor's name, and your church and the address you got
to have the email your church.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
And then if we send an email to the church and.
Speaker 13 (28:52):
Say hey, please fill this out, so and so as
asked for this, and then we'll remind them every few
weeks about that, and we want them to go. And
there's a forty five question survey takes them fifteen minutes, and.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
We go through it and then we rate them.
Speaker 14 (29:04):
I love that as a guy. So speaking of churches,
that you know, the foundation of this nation that's that's
being destroyed from within really starts with the churches. And
you look at our border, you look at abortion, you
look at all the LGBT, all the garbage that sin
being pushed in all these churches, and you've got so
(29:26):
called churches that are pushing all this stuff. They're really
communist social clubs that are pushing liberation theology theory, critical
race theory.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
And all of this.
Speaker 14 (29:38):
And that's such a great idea we've I've always thought
about that, we've got to get rid of these churches.
We've got to uplift the good ones, get rid of
the bad ones.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
That is a great way of doing it.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
But then call them out. But there's a second part
of that. So we because we know that the bad.
Speaker 13 (29:52):
Churches are not going to fill our form out, so
we have a webcrawl. We've gone out and we've already
found ten.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Thousand bad churches. So if you go there, you'll.
Speaker 13 (30:00):
See many more bad churches than our good churches. So
we need the good churches to.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
Get on there.
Speaker 13 (30:04):
So we need so my church find it dot org,
send your pastor and email saying pastor, you got to
fill this out.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You do have the bad churches though too.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
We already we.
Speaker 13 (30:12):
Have ten thousand bad churches, so you know what church
not to go to.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
So now here's how we rate them. There's four ratings.
Speaker 13 (30:19):
One is it would not recommend you don't want to
go to those church. But then there's the C rating,
which is actually one of the lowest ratings.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
That's a biblically sound church.
Speaker 13 (30:27):
This is a church that actually believes in the Bible,
believes that Jesus is God, follows everything.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
But they're just biblically sound. That's a SEA rating.
Speaker 13 (30:34):
To get a B rating, you have to be biblically sound,
and you have to be doing something about teaching people
about the sins of homosexuality, about transgenderism, about abortion, and
doing something about a abortion, teaching people why abortions right?
You ought to teach the cultural issues because it's no
good if you're just teaching the Bible. Are you fighting
the culture? So the second rating, the B rating, is
(30:55):
are you culturally aware? Now we want everybody in the
B and C church just to move to an A church.
Let me tell you on A churches, why are you
complaining about the culture unless you're doing something about the culture.
So a church is legislatively active, they're politically active. They're
putting out voter guys. They're encouraging you to go to
the school boards. They're actually encouraged you to run for
(31:17):
school boards. They're encouraging you to run for city council.
That's the a church, and we want all the people
to stop giving their money to the B and C.
And definitely the would not recommend church and be going
to A churches.
Speaker 10 (31:29):
You know, there are a lot of pastors that shy
away from political issues for fear of judgment. What do
you say about those that just well.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
I actually wrote a book about that.
Speaker 14 (31:40):
And Jesus is involved in politics.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Why aren't you?
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Why isn't your church and why isn't your church?
Speaker 13 (31:46):
And the lead off is if your pastor doesn't believe
that Christians should be involved in politics, then he believes
slavery should be still legal. He thinks child abuse should
still be legal. He's think that child's prostitutions shall still
be legal. He thinks that killing twins superstitiously shull be legal.
He thinks that throwing a widow on her husband's funeral
proat would be still be legal.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Why because every one.
Speaker 13 (32:09):
Of these horrible practices were part of the culture, and
they were only stopped because a pastor and a church
and a congregation got together and got involved in politics.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
Contains the law.
Speaker 13 (32:20):
How heartless can you be to say we shouldn't be
involved in politics, And what's worse.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
If you back away from politics and you stop getting involved.
Speaker 13 (32:28):
Politics, the culture will go back to its.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Pagan roots like they did in Germany.
Speaker 14 (32:32):
Yeah, and we see that way too often, where churches
are either on the wrong side and their synagogues of
Satan as Jesus called them, or they're complicit in their apathy,
in their silence, and they're watching, you know, they say, oh,
we don't get involved in politics. Well then you're everywhere
around just going to hell, but you're preaching heaven?
Speaker 6 (32:52):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
I totally agree.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
And worse than that.
Speaker 13 (32:56):
And here's something I'd ask you ask your pastor.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Go to your pastor and say, pastor, let me ask
you a question.
Speaker 13 (33:00):
If tomorrow's city council came and said all our parking
lots have to be one and a half times bigger,
so we lose almost half of our parking spots, Pastor,
would you go to city council?
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Would you on Sunday? Would you call the whole congregation says, hey,
we got to go show up a city council on
Tuesday night.
Speaker 13 (33:17):
Why because they're going to take away half our parking
and we got to stop them. And then I'm going
to go talk to the mayor. I'm going to talk
to the city council pastor.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
Would you do that? Yeah, of course.
Speaker 13 (33:25):
Well then you know, every day in the city councils
around our state, around this country, there are people making
decisions about pornography for kids in the schools, pornography and
the libraries, transgender of training, drag Queen's Story Hour.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
And you don't think that's worse than parking.
Speaker 9 (33:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I've often said, if you're right now in this time
that we have, if your pastor is not talking about
what's going on in our society, and this is during
the BLM riots, this is dealing all this stuff that's
going on right now, you.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Need to walk out and find another church.
Speaker 13 (33:59):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
If you don't like your pastor wearing.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Skinny jeans, walk out and find another church. I've made
a jokingly. What I'm saying is, but there's option for
that mychurchfinder dot dot org.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
It's as easy is it free service.
Speaker 13 (34:13):
It's completely free for the church, it's completely free for you.
It's all donor funded it so it's all taken care of.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
So what we want to do, but we only have
about four hundred churches on there.
Speaker 13 (34:22):
There are good churches because the pastors how to fill
them out.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
So you gotta bug your pastor.
Speaker 13 (34:27):
You got to go out there and invite your pastor.
And look, if you're looking for a church and you think, well,
I don't know if it's a good church, Yeah, find
the church's emails, invite them to fill out the forum.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I just put my zip code in Texas and a
couple of them came up.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
So thank you very much. All right, thank you for
your time. I'm gonna toss to a quick commercial time out.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
We've got plenty more, plenty more here at MFS Day three.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Don't go anywhere
Back live here on the stage at Amfest twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Now, being political in your.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Career might have some consequences, no matter if you're in Hollywood,
if you're in corporate America. But what if you're in sports?
Are there consequences to that? Joining me now is Huey Johnson.
And you've got a whole slate of athletes here, Antonio.
Bring got boxers, you got football players. Man, you guys
just got off the big stage talking about being conservative
(00:33):

Well, you know, first of all, I'd like to introduce
my panel. Let's give them their proper flowers, Ladies and gentlemen.

at a Trump rally.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I've seen you. You've butt on stage, You've spoke in
front of the crowds.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Let's talk a little bit about your transitioning to all

supposed to how I'm supposed to think and vote.

I'm Republican. I support President.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Trump, yes, and it's all about being a free thinker
and knowing understanding the opportunities and the economic beneficiaries. Now
call him President Trump, and I've been excited to be
on his journey with him and raise awareness and to
be here today a man.

How about you, Henry, Let's talk to you a little bit,
and uh, I want to know what's your thoughts. You

Speaker 7 (02:39):
You represent the Red, white, and Blue, coming from humble beginnings.
You know, parents are you know, immigrants against to the country,
and they taught me the American dream man. So I'm
just I'm blessed to be a part of this. I'm
happy that President Trump, you know, regained his position once again.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Amen.
Speaker 8 (02:55):
Hey, Christmas came early. Everybody when Trump won that, Yeah,
it really didn't.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
You know, he put together the greatest on back.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Of all time.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Well, that means a lot coming from you, Henry, Henry,
I got a follow up question. You love America so much,
what did you name your firstborn America?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Amen? That's awesome baby. Yeah. Well, you know, let's talk
real quickly.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
In both your sports teammates post teammates, fighters, did you
get any pushbacks within your industry, like does someone call
you up and say, hey, man, I saw I saw
you on the Trump State, Hey.
Speaker 8 (03:26):
I saw you speaking.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Yes, they told me I had no dolls and no backbone.
But I had to listen to my own heart and
go against the naysayers who was talking?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah? Was there a lot of them? Would you say?
They're a lun full of them.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It's always going to be a lot of naysayers, a
lot of haters, and a lot of talkers. But they
didn't deteriorate my opinion about Trump. They didn't interiate my
representation for Trump, a nice president forty seven that we're here, Yeah, Henry,
how about you?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (03:59):
Likewise, in particular, you know, being Hispanic, it's it's a trip.
It's a trip because people don't it's you know, now
they think I'm a racist?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Are you the face of white supremacies?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's usually what what sometimes they'll call you. That's how
delusional the left is. All of a sudden, you.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Cover the face and even the fact that me and
a b you know, obviously, you know, we'll come from
different backgrounds. The fact that we represent somebody who is
a different color than ours just you know, to me,
it's all about America.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
To me, it's all about you know, are you willing
to I mean.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
What can you do for your country?
Speaker 9 (04:32):
And you know what to Brian?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
To further your point, I think that's the thing about
President Trump that makes him such a fantastic president.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
He represents all people.
Speaker 9 (04:39):
Here.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
You see three people, all gladiators in our own respective arenas.
But yet even still the things that are different about us,
we all have one thing in common. We love this country.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah yeah, let's let's shift over to sports just for
a second. I know there's a lot of sports fans
out there that want to, you know, maybe get.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Your thoughts on stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Greatest moment in your football career that the one moment
that stands out to you.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I mean, I know you've accomplished a lot. I want
to know that.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
What would it be, uh, the greatest moment?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah? What what?
Speaker 9 (05:11):
Probably the next moment?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
This moment right here, this moment right here, man, your
greatest moment.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
God stand in the moment.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
We all know the better part of that played.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
Off the field.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, well yeah, super Bowl's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
How about you, Henry, what's the what's the most standout
moment for you in your career?
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Yeah, there's there's nothing like representing your country, you know
here in that American you know that that national anthem
as you get it, as.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
You're receiving that gold medal.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
I mean, there's nothing like it. There's you know, obviously
the usc bots are cool, but that that's that's every weekend.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Like the Olympics is every four years.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
It's it's every day.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
And you know, I feel like I stole it.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Amen, But now you earned it the hard way, folks.
How about you? You you gotta you know what I think.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
For me, if I had to, if I had to
say the most important moment in my sports career, I
could say it was winning the New Nationals. But I
think I would have to say it was the things
that happened outside of the ring.
Speaker 9 (06:04):
Brian.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I think it was the friendships that was made. I
think it was the strength that was added to my
relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And I
think it was the inspiration of getting them no guys
like this, you know, Floyd Mayweather opened a lot of
doors for me, and Henry was a mentor to me
early in my career and now even later. It's so
humbling when a guy like ab is at an F
one racing and a friend of his can look at
(06:25):
him and say, hey, be ayb, that's Huey Vuitton right
there there he goes. And you know, because I grew
up idolizing these guys. Man, but God will just open
so many doors if you give them the opportunities.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Growing up, he will amen to that.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Growing up, who did you look up to in your
sport or maybe perhaps out of your sport.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
I used to look up to Dion Sanders. I think
he just made football for me fun. It made it
look cool, you know, being a little kid having to
run fifteen minutes grate it could be stressful. So you know,
I always idolized Deon Sander's for the inspiration how he
played the game, being a little lead player and watching
them play in the NFL, the energy brought, the health, styles,
(07:04):
the performance. I think that enabled me to want to
play football and represent well.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
He's got a lot of sizzles, so do you. There's
a lot of sizzle.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
On this stake right here, Henry big mentor for you
growing up, someone you looked up.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
To, honestly was President Trump before he became president.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
I would, I would. I read all of his books.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
The Apprentice. We used to watch this, We used to
watch that in high school. He was a big inspiration
for us, you know what I mean. Obviously there's life
after sports, and I think he brought more of that
confidence of hey, go out there and go out there
and understand the financial world.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, Brian, I would like to further Henry's point. You know,
one of the first places I ever met President Trump
was out of boxing match. You know, he come to
see Floyd Mayweather fight Manny Pacio, and I remember the
conversation that we had with one another. I was rarely
rather staggered by what he said. He I said, so,
President Trump, who are you rooting for?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Rather Donald?
Speaker 9 (07:57):
At that time, Donald, who are you rooting for? This evening?
Speaker 8 (07:59):
He said, he kind of puzzled.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
He looked at me and he said, well, you got
one guy that lives in this country that's spending millions
of dollars paying all this money in taxes. He come
from a really rough background and he's really achieved the
American dream. He's done so many great things in his career,
almost as if it was a no brainer. I said, no, no, no,
mister Trump, I'm with the money team. And he said,
you're with the money team. I'm with the money team.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
He said, I like that.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
You're I'm room for Floyd Mayweather, Floyd Money Mayweather. And
I said, hey, say on my man, that's awesome, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
On January twentieth, President Drum gets sworn into office. If
he was to call you up, he says, hey, Antonio, Yeah,
that's me.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Hey, what should I do on day one? What's your
answer to him?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Megamerica a MAGA movie theaters?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I like that, Yeah, yeah, I thought. Henry calls you up?
Henry says, what should I do on day one? What's
my number one priority?
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Banned females from man's sports or banned men from females?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (08:57):
Both both absolutely?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
How about you, Huey day one? Day one?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
If I had to ask President Trump to do us
one thing, I would say, sir, if there's any way
that you can find it in your heart to run
his VP alongside somebody like your son, because we can't
get enough of.
Speaker 9 (09:14):
You, man.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
We want you to stay in office as long as possible.
I want to hear from the crowd in this room
if you people can have President Trump for more than another.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Four years, make some noise. Yeah, that's what we want
for Christmas, that's what he wants.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Well, we certainly appreciate your bravery, your courage, your sports,
your heroes, your accomplishments.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
We certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Give it up a thank you, Brian, You're the best.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Hue and Antonio Brown. We've got more coming up from
Manifest twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Don't go anywhere, all right, welcome.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Back as we enjoy day three, now day four President.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Trump, and that is the one that everyone has been
excited about. Of course, we have some great people here
speaking so far, but when we ask around Brian, everyone
says they cannot wait for President Trump, and for good reason,
because this is his first major speaking event since being elected.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, and that's tomorrow. Speaking time is around ten o'clock.
They have them stated for about an hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
But if I know, President Trump is probably gonna speak.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
All of that, maybe even two hours. As you said,
this is the first big speech since that since the election. Okay,
so We've had all kinds of people stopped by this desk. Earlier,
we talked to Arizona's own Eli Crane about the state
of Arizona and what should be on the agenda from
day one when.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
They go back to Congress.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Take a listen joining us now, Congressman Eli Crane from
the great state of Arizona. And I'm telling you right
now your state and Michelle, you and I both know
this has been the folk and the last two or
three elections in this country, it's all come down to Arizona.
But you guys delivered it for President Trump.
Speaker 11 (11:07):
Yeah, we did, and a big part of it comes
to uh has to be you know, go to Turning
Point Action, Turning Point USA.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
And everything that they did here.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Man.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I mean, these.
Speaker 11 (11:16):
Guys really helped get out the vote and really got
into the colleges as well, which, as you guys know,
is not easy when you're a conservative.
Speaker 10 (11:24):
One of the number one issues this year was obviously
the open border, Arizona being a border state, even though
every state's a border state at this point, How has
that affected your state specifically?
Speaker 11 (11:34):
Yeah, I mean it's in it's insane here. I think
when I moved here, from California. I got out of
the military. I was station there. The only thing that
went up price wise was car insurance because so many
illegals are driving.
Speaker 8 (11:47):
And when they hit you, you know, they.
Speaker 11 (11:49):
Don't have insurance, and so people they hear about, you know,
the primary concerns like you know MS thirteen, raping, killing
young American girls, fentanyl, terrorists, et cetera. But there's a
lot of secondary and tertiary things that you know, Americans
have to deal with because of this flood of.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
The legal immigration that we have coming into the country.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, you've done a fantastic job as being a good
spokesperson for this state on the national level to fight
not only the corruption, the election corruption in Arizona, but
definitely the open border. I turned our attention to this
next session of Congress. Congratulations in your win. It's nice
to get re elected in your district. Yeah, and really
(12:28):
and the people obviously in your district support you. What
should the first priority be on this next session of
Congress as far as you're if you had a kind
of a pecking order of things you want to focus on,
what should it be?
Speaker 11 (12:40):
Yeah, I think it has to be border. We had
a meeting with Tom Holman this week in DC. I
know that that's going to be a heavy lift because
of how many illegals have come into the country. And
I know that the mainstream news is going to do
everything in their power to pull the heartstrings of American
people as we not only secure the border but then
deporting people.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
And so that has to be number one.
Speaker 11 (13:02):
And then I think, you know, some of the tax
packages and energy you know agenda will come after that.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, this we's the.
Speaker 10 (13:10):
Our deal was really an opportunity for Trump to set
the tone coming into the administration. How do you anticipate
Congress working together to confirm the MAGA agenda move forward?
Speaker 11 (13:21):
Well, because he has so such a robust agenda, I
think that a lot of it's going to cost money,
and that's we're the power of the purse.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
So especially when I've just talked about.
Speaker 11 (13:30):
This massive lift in securing securing the border, but then
even starting the deportations is going to take a lot
of money. And I know that members of Congress, a
lot of us are very enthusiastic and excited about helping
the President achieve his agenda. But it's going to be hard.
We have a very slim majority, and there are some there.
There are quite a few people up there that don't
like President Trump. They may act like it to his face,
(13:53):
but they don't like him when when the cameras are
off and when they're talking behind his back.
Speaker 10 (13:57):
So you're confirming there's more rhinos.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Than we think one hundred percent. Yeah, it's gonna be
it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 11 (14:03):
There's a lot of establishment Rhino Republicans whatever you want
to call it, up in Washington.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Still, Yeah, and he sees it firsthand.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
He sees it first hand. Shifting gears a little bit.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Drones seems to lead the stories the last week or
two weeks. What can we do on a congressional level,
What should that be something you guys look into. We
talked to Attorney Kittle Toney, General Kim Pax on the
show not too long ago that there's really no legislation
right now on controlling that.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
But what can we do?
Speaker 11 (14:34):
Yeah, well, we had two hearings just last week. We
had one in Homeland Security. We had a classified brief
and unfortunately the intelligence community and Department of Justice with
either don't know what's going on with these drones or
they were lying to US. I know they lie to
us quite a bit, so I don't know which one
it is. But one of the things I found interesting
(14:56):
about that hearing was with the FBI.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
You know, they have like a you know, to billion.
Speaker 11 (15:00):
Dollar budget and they only spend about half a million
dollars on anti drone warfare and technology. And so that's concerning.
That's something that we can look at in Congress. And
what concerns me coming up is you got massive events
like the inauguration, the Super Bowl, the World Cup coming
here to the USA. And if you don't see the
correlation between how warfare is changing overseas in Ukraine and
(15:21):
Russia and you know, terrorists individuals trying to apply that
here in the country, you're you're misled.
Speaker 10 (15:29):
Talking about Trump's cabinet picks. Obviously a big mantra is
letting him have his cabinet. How important will that be
in this upcoming term to get everyone.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
Through It's going to be massive, you know, whether it's
Pete hes Toulci, Gabbert, Bobby Kennedy Junior, you know, those
cabinet picks are going to be. Like any organization, the
leadership always sets the tone. Washington wants it to be
somebody who's compromised, neutered and won't disrupt too much. But
I think Trump has shown us that many of his
(15:58):
picks are actually very keen to the issues and more
than willing to disrupt the swamp and turn the thing around.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
So that's why you're seeing so much pushback.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I want to get your.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Thoughts on, you know, Elon Musk has weighed in a
lot on policy, and is it kind of put out
a warning shot to senators or really any kind of
anybody in politics that if you don't get behind President
Trump one hundred percent, you could get primary The mainstream
media is having to melt down on that.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
The left is having to melt down.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
What's your thoughts on Elon being so involved in policy
making to a certain extent.
Speaker 11 (16:32):
You know, I think it's good in a way because
one thing I've seen in Washington is it it's not
that we don't have a lot of smart people up
there with good resumes.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
It's that we don't have a lot of people with.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
Courage, and we don't have a lot of influence because
the mainstream media is controlled by the left. So when
you take the richest guy in the world who's bought
into the MAGA movement, and who has the biggest communication
platform in the world, saying I'm going to primary people
that get in the way of Trump's agenda.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
I think it's a fantastic thing.
Speaker 11 (16:56):
I hope Elon continues to learn about the federal government,
because I know it's not his forte.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
But I also hope that, you know.
Speaker 11 (17:02):
He does use leverage, you know, and you know, his
his wallet to you know, to really put the fear
of God and anybody that's going to stand in that way.
Speaker 10 (17:12):
And last question, a lot of people excited for DOJE,
what do you think they need to be cutting?
Speaker 8 (17:16):
First?
Speaker 10 (17:17):
What is a primary concern here?
Speaker 11 (17:19):
I mean, there's just so many areas to cut from
the federal government, but we have a body largely that
won't cut anything. And it was hilarious because those guys
came to Washington, d C. About three weeks ago, and
it was hilarious. Elon and Viveck gave their little summary
of what they wanted to do. Then they opened it
up for Q and A and all the moderate establishment
Republicans ran to the mic and I thought, Oh, here
(17:40):
we go. These guys are gonna tell Elon and vivek
what they tell us all the time, why we can't
cut anything, you know, or there's gonna be pandemonium, the
sky is gonna fall. And what they actually did was
they introduced themselves and then they said, oh, I can't
wait to help you guys cut. They were like little
fanboys and fangirls in there, and me and the conservatives
were like, what you guys won't cut anything?
Speaker 8 (18:01):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 11 (18:02):
And so it was just bizarre because you saw it
this week when reality, you know, rubber met the road.
Speaker 8 (18:08):
When we had a CR, a spinning bill.
Speaker 11 (18:11):
It was supposed to be a clean CR and then
it was fifteen hundred pages just loaded with all sorts
of poor special interests, nonsense and Elon Wade in and
so it made heads role in Washington, DC and a
lot of people got really scared.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Okay, last question, real quickly, if I get to it.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
How did the feel to go back to.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Congress after the election when you won and you had
to walk around and I know that when I was
on Capitol Hill it felt different.
Speaker 8 (18:36):
It felt great.
Speaker 11 (18:37):
People were more excited, and for me personally, it felt
really good because you know, I got in some pretty
historic fights in Congress as a freshman, people said my
career was over. You know, I was part of the
group that als did Kevin McCarthy, and you know my message.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
My message was, hey, you can't come to Washington, d C.
Speaker 11 (18:54):
You can't fight, and the people will send you back
if they see you fighting. So and I know you're
no strain to you know that whole that whole thing.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
But it was good.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, the great Eli Crane joining us.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Give it up if you're a congressman here in Arizona.
This guy is making a difference. Keep him in office.
We got more Amfest twenty twenty four right here from Phoenix.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
All right, that guy is awesome.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
Yeah, I think has a very bright future. You could
see it with some of these patriots that are in office,
right And.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
He was absolutely right in terms of if you can't
if you come to Washington, you may have all the
financial backing, if you don't have a spine encourage to
make big decisions and that may not be sometimes popular
amongst the establishment, then you might want to go find
another career.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Well, what he confirmed which we all knew, as well
as the fact that they're more rhinos in Congress. Brian
than you would lead on to or you would.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Think there's a bunch of them that say they're maga,
but they're not really maga. All right, The next guy
up that we spoke to earlier is.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Is all maga.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
Oh yeah, yeah, And this is actually a guy from
the state I moved to from Pennsylvania, my new home, Florida.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Let's give it up for Byron Donalds.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
We ch had from with him earlier.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Take a listen, all right, joining us now, Congressman Byron
Donald's from Florida nineteen your state of Florida.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Okay, news, State of Florida.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Great.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
We just had elon Crane on a little bit earlier,
kind of shaking the bushes and finding out what's going
to happen this next session of Congress and maybe what
in particular that you would have maybe tried to tackle.
Speaker 12 (20:31):
Well, the first order our business when we get back
is going to be border policy.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
We need to do that immediately.
Speaker 12 (20:36):
We want to try to have that on the President's
desk when he gets inaugurated, or at least sometime, you know,
before Valentine's Day. We want to make sure that they
have that there so they can start the process of
deporting people out of the country that need to go
back to their home countries. It'll save us a ton
of money by going through this process. Second thing we're
going to have to try to tackle, probably when we
(20:58):
do border stuff, is the debt ceiling. We're gonna have
to take a first swipe at that, take care of that.
They're to give President Trump us some runway to be
focused on the agenda.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
Last thing we want is.
Speaker 12 (21:09):
To give Chuck Schumer the ability to try to jam
us from the Senate. So those are the two quick
things we've got to get done, and then you get
those done quickly, it gives you a lot more ability
to get everything else accomplished.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
We've been talking about it a lot today. Elon Musk
a hot topic. He's obviously been involved with policy lately.
How do you feel about Elon Musk kind of getting
involved in politics From a candid.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Way, it's een.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
I love it.
Speaker 12 (21:34):
I think everybody should be involved in politics. This place
works best if people are involved or they're paying attention,
they're fully engaged, holding us accountable, keeping us like kind
of where we.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Need to be able.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You're safe.
Speaker 12 (21:49):
Might be good, Yeah, you're good, I mean, but Listen,
the system doesn't work if everybody's not paying attention.
Speaker 9 (21:56):
That's what got us into the mess.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Out work, now that's true.
Speaker 12 (21:58):
So we're in this mess now thirty six trillion massive
agencies that don't do what they're supposed to do. Because listen, America,
best country in the world. Most of our people have
been focused on their lives, building their businesses, great in
their families and it's all great stuff. Yeah, but the
federal government in Washington has been operating without much of
a check from the American people.
Speaker 9 (22:19):
Love the elons involved.
Speaker 12 (22:20):
We got to keep that going because that's how you
save the republic.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
Follow up real quick with that, because dog is very
big on cutting all of the waste. Where should they
focus their energy?
Speaker 12 (22:30):
First, You got to focus in every alphabet soup agency
they're out there, because these agencies is death by a
thousand cuts with these guys.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
So it's everything from the.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
SEC, CFTC, Treasury, ohcc, DEA, FBI. You got to get
into every one of these agencies. If you get that
town thinking about being efficient and responsible with the people's money,
then it gives us the opportunity to stabilize our debt
and then having the will to start paying it down,
getting our deficits under control.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I asked you line the same question. The drone seems
to be a very popular trending and everyone seeing them.
What should be done in Congress that we could maybe
put some legislation on.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
And if these drones flew over your house, what would
you do?
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Well?
Speaker 12 (23:13):
First of all, if it is over my house, I
probably shoot it out of the sky, okay, or do
your best? I mean, look, the drone problem is in
some part is a national security risk.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
Not I don't know how.
Speaker 12 (23:25):
I don't know how much a concern is because I
haven't seen a briefing on it, but it's it is
a risk that we've got to make sure we have
our arms around.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
This is where.
Speaker 12 (23:33):
FAA's definitely evolved, probably defense, but we need to know
a lot more and gets serious about this.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Now.
Speaker 12 (23:40):
I will say the future of our economy, there is
going to be more aerial drones doing a lot of things.
We have some super cool concepts that are on the
horizon right now in the United States where I mean,
we're about to say, made you remember the Jetsons? Oh yeah,
So like for the young people, you know, we're over
(24:00):
We're basically there, so you could have the technology.
Speaker 9 (24:03):
We can see that in the next twenty to forty.
Speaker 12 (24:05):
Years where you have cars at low flight that are
transporting people as opposed to.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
Just on the roads.
Speaker 12 (24:11):
Like these are all the next waves of innovation in
our country, But we want to make sure that we
have security down in our country that matters first.
Speaker 10 (24:19):
That was my next question is how do you balance
that with national security threats and ensuring that you do
have a safe country.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
I mean, you balanced it like we've balanced so many
other things. You know, we went to automobiles that was
a security risk at one point, you know, so there's
all these things, cell phones, computer systems.
Speaker 9 (24:36):
Now we're on the verge, not even on the verrg
AI is here.
Speaker 12 (24:39):
The question is the scale upon which it will be
deployed in the United States. Cryptocurrencies, all these things can
be looked at from a negative point of view. But
if you have the smart regulatory framework, not a democrat
driven regulatory framework, but a smart one coupled with a
real understanding of the potential risks, it'll allow us to
be able to be innovation if in our country take
(25:00):
advantage of those those technologies help to grow our economy,
change our economy in ways we can't contemplate. But it's
really about bettering the lives of people, and I think
that's really where we want to try to get to.
All right, January.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Third, you guys potentially could elect another speaker.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I know it's preemptive.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
To kind of think ahead, but a lot of people don't.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Really like Speaker Johnson right now.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Chances that he remained speaker, or maybe it goes more
than one round, I don't what do you what.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Do you think at this point?
Speaker 10 (25:30):
Well?
Speaker 12 (25:31):
Look, I mean, first of all, right now nobody's running.
I think for Speaker Johnson, his responsibility is to make
sure that the members who have concerns that they get addressed.
You know, my advice will be there needs to be
some serious changes in kind of the governing style and
the leadership style, and not just from him, but the
entire leadership team. We have a ton of work we
(25:52):
got to get done. I mean, so if you look
at our calendar, and if I was to get super technical,
you'd be like, are you guys? Can you guys get
all that done? And the truth is we can, but
it starts at the top. So I think the number
one thing is he's got some conversations he's got to
have with members of our conference. If they can get
past those concerns, then the second order of business is
(26:12):
getting to work and forgetting what's happened here.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Byron Donalds, he's one of the good guys in Washington,
d C. Keep fighting for America, Keep fighting for Florida.
Speaker 9 (26:20):
Oh yeah, always fighting. He's always fighting for Florida, always.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Fighting for Florida. Right, we've got plenty more. Let's take
it back inside.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
You know, well, January third should be very interesting to
say that.
Speaker 11 (26:31):
Now.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
I think all of us are on the edge of
our seats waiting for that one.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Brian, Yeah, that will be must see TV coming up.
We've got more must see TV here from Phoenix as
we are in day three tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
President Trump today. Yeah, we've got that as well. But
we got more on the other side of the break
stick around.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
All right, welcome back Day three am fest. As we
uh start to wrap it up and we will will
be transitioning into the faith portion of this program, which
is incredible.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
And that's one of the things that Turning Point does.
If you're looking for a church, raise your hand. Well,
there's a lot of you out there always looking for
a church.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
But I do have a church as well, so I
should keep my hand down. But if you are looking
for a church and you don't know where to go,
my next guest can help you out on that. Neil
Maman is my churchfinder dot com dot dot org. Thank
you for correcting me on that. Uh, this is brilliant.
Walk me through the premise of this idea and how
(27:47):
it works well.
Speaker 13 (27:48):
The basic function, basic concept here is one point seven
million people look for a church every month.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Wow, that's a mom or dad. That could be six
million people looking for a new church. Well, we don't
want them to go to the woke churches.
Speaker 13 (28:02):
A lot of good churches have become woke and a
lot of bad churches are out there.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
So how do you find a good church?
Speaker 13 (28:09):
Because you don't want you to have to visit church
after the church after church, and then three months into
it you're like, oh, I didn't know they were woke
because it doesn't say anymore, or they just.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Give up oh yeah yeah, or.
Speaker 13 (28:19):
Worse, your kids are in that Sunday school for three months.
Who knows what you're learning in that Sunday school. So
what we do is we have this my church, find
a daughter, or if you go there, you can put
in your zip code and find a church.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Now you had everybody raise the handles looking.
Speaker 13 (28:32):
For church, but we want if you go to a
good church, we want you to go.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
To our website.
Speaker 13 (28:36):
Because every pastor has to fill out the form themselves.
So there's a link there that says email my pastor.
You click on it, put in your name and your
pastor's name, and your church and the address you got
to have the email your church.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
And then if we send an email to the church and.
Speaker 13 (28:52):
Say hey, please fill this out, so and so as
asked for this, and then we'll remind them every few
weeks about that, and we want them to go. And
there's a forty five question survey takes them fifteen minutes, and.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
We go through it and then we rate them.
Speaker 14 (29:04):
I love that as a guy. So speaking of churches,
that you know, the foundation of this nation that's that's
being destroyed from within really starts with the churches. And
you look at our border, you look at abortion, you
look at all the LGBT, all the garbage that sin
being pushed in all these churches, and you've got so
(29:26):
called churches that are pushing all this stuff. They're really
communist social clubs that are pushing liberation theology theory, critical
race theory.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
And all of this.
Speaker 14 (29:38):
And that's such a great idea we've I've always thought
about that, we've got to get rid of these churches.
We've got to uplift the good ones, get rid of
the bad ones.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
That is a great way of doing it.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
But then call them out. But there's a second part
of that. So we because we know that the bad.
Speaker 13 (29:52):
Churches are not going to fill our form out, so
we have a webcrawl. We've gone out and we've already
found ten.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Thousand bad churches. So if you go there, you'll.
Speaker 13 (30:00):
See many more bad churches than our good churches. So
we need the good churches to.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
Get on there.
Speaker 13 (30:04):
So we need so my church find it dot org,
send your pastor and email saying pastor, you got to
fill this out.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You do have the bad churches though too.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
We already we.
Speaker 13 (30:12):
Have ten thousand bad churches, so you know what church
not to go to.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
So now here's how we rate them. There's four ratings.
Speaker 13 (30:19):
One is it would not recommend you don't want to
go to those church. But then there's the C rating,
which is actually one of the lowest ratings.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
That's a biblically sound church.
Speaker 13 (30:27):
This is a church that actually believes in the Bible,
believes that Jesus is God, follows everything.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
But they're just biblically sound. That's a SEA rating.
Speaker 13 (30:34):
To get a B rating, you have to be biblically sound,
and you have to be doing something about teaching people
about the sins of homosexuality, about transgenderism, about abortion, and
doing something about a abortion, teaching people why abortions right?
You ought to teach the cultural issues because it's no
good if you're just teaching the Bible. Are you fighting
the culture? So the second rating, the B rating, is
(30:55):
are you culturally aware? Now we want everybody in the
B and C church just to move to an A church.
Let me tell you on A churches, why are you
complaining about the culture unless you're doing something about the culture.
So a church is legislatively active, they're politically active. They're
putting out voter guys. They're encouraging you to go to
the school boards. They're actually encouraged you to run for
(31:17):
school boards. They're encouraging you to run for city council.
That's the a church, and we want all the people
to stop giving their money to the B and C.
And definitely the would not recommend church and be going
to A churches.
Speaker 10 (31:29):
You know, there are a lot of pastors that shy
away from political issues for fear of judgment. What do
you say about those that just well.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
I actually wrote a book about that.
Speaker 14 (31:40):
And Jesus is involved in politics.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Why aren't you?
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Why isn't your church and why isn't your church?
Speaker 13 (31:46):
And the lead off is if your pastor doesn't believe
that Christians should be involved in politics, then he believes
slavery should be still legal. He thinks child abuse should
still be legal. He's think that child's prostitutions shall still
be legal. He thinks that killing twins superstitiously shull be legal.
He thinks that throwing a widow on her husband's funeral
proat would be still be legal.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Why because every one.
Speaker 13 (32:09):
Of these horrible practices were part of the culture, and
they were only stopped because a pastor and a church
and a congregation got together and got involved in politics.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
Contains the law.
Speaker 13 (32:20):
How heartless can you be to say we shouldn't be
involved in politics, And what's worse.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
If you back away from politics and you stop getting involved.
Speaker 13 (32:28):
Politics, the culture will go back to its.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Pagan roots like they did in Germany.
Speaker 14 (32:32):
Yeah, and we see that way too often, where churches
are either on the wrong side and their synagogues of
Satan as Jesus called them, or they're complicit in their apathy,
in their silence, and they're watching, you know, they say, oh,
we don't get involved in politics. Well then you're everywhere
around just going to hell, but you're preaching heaven?
Speaker 6 (32:52):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
I totally agree.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
And worse than that.
Speaker 13 (32:56):
And here's something I'd ask you ask your pastor.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Go to your pastor and say, pastor, let me ask
you a question.
Speaker 13 (33:00):
If tomorrow's city council came and said all our parking
lots have to be one and a half times bigger,
so we lose almost half of our parking spots, Pastor,
would you go to city council?
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Would you on Sunday? Would you call the whole congregation says, hey,
we got to go show up a city council on
Tuesday night.
Speaker 13 (33:17):
Why because they're going to take away half our parking
and we got to stop them. And then I'm going
to go talk to the mayor. I'm going to talk
to the city council pastor.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
Would you do that? Yeah, of course.
Speaker 13 (33:25):
Well then you know, every day in the city councils
around our state, around this country, there are people making
decisions about pornography for kids in the schools, pornography and
the libraries, transgender of training, drag Queen's Story Hour.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
And you don't think that's worse than parking.
Speaker 9 (33:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I've often said, if you're right now in this time
that we have, if your pastor is not talking about
what's going on in our society, and this is during
the BLM riots, this is dealing all this stuff that's
going on right now, you.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Need to walk out and find another church.
Speaker 13 (33:59):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
If you don't like your pastor wearing.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Skinny jeans, walk out and find another church. I've made
a jokingly. What I'm saying is, but there's option for
that mychurchfinder dot dot org.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
It's as easy is it free service.
Speaker 13 (34:13):
It's completely free for the church, it's completely free for you.
It's all donor funded it so it's all taken care of.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
So what we want to do, but we only have
about four hundred churches on there.
Speaker 13 (34:22):
There are good churches because the pastors how to fill
them out.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
So you gotta bug your pastor.
Speaker 13 (34:27):
You got to go out there and invite your pastor.
And look, if you're looking for a church and you think, well,
I don't know if it's a good church, Yeah, find
the church's emails, invite them to fill out the forum.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I just put my zip code in Texas and a
couple of them came up.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
So thank you very much. All right, thank you for
your time. I'm gonna toss to a quick commercial time out.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
We've got plenty more, plenty more here at MFS Day three.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Don't go anywhere
