Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to Viewpoint Alabama on the Alabama Radio Network and
this is Father's Day Weekend. I'm your host John mountsin
Today we are going to talk about why fathers are
so important to all of us. Joining me now is
Apostle Tommy Equick with a Project twenty one ambassador and
founder of the Christian Families Against Destructive Decisions. Tommy, Welcome
to the show.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well, this whether for to be here with you today.
Thank you for having me, and I look forward to
our conversation. This is certainly, I believe, one of the
heartbeat issues of our nation.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Well, while we know deep down that a two parent
household is ideal, that that's the best way for a
child to be raised, for the last i'd say probably
four decades or so, there's been this narrative saying that
dads are unnecessary at best. There. You know, it's kind
of like something you could have a dad, you don't
really need a dad, It's not necessary. And there's been
a devaluation of the family unit as a whole, and
(00:53):
it's been felt. It's been felt, especially in the black community,
probably more than anywhere else. Why do you think that is?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I think that what we're saying is the cumbination of
a narrative that is more anti biblical and anti Christ
and also destructive. There's a culture of death in our community,
in our nation today. We see that in the rate
of abortions, the rate of youth, the nasia, the vaguing
of life, all the way around. And I think that's
(01:20):
just one of the topics of one of the things
that is used to devalue life and to disrupt the family.
As you said before, the United States proximately twenty three
percent of children live in single parent households today, and
the majority of which are headed by a single mother,
and that translates to one in four children, or about
(01:42):
eighteen point four million children living without a biological step
or adoptive father in the home. The US in sorviewer
actually says that the proportion of single parent households has
doubled since nineteen seventy. As you said earlier, is disproportion
in the black community. And as a black pastor of
(02:05):
more than forty nine years of serving black families, predominantly
in black communities, I have seen the effect of that
type of messaging that theology has had on the family.
So yes, there's a significant number of Black children living
without their biological fathers. Statistics indicate that a substantial number
(02:25):
of Black children are raised in single parent homes, primarily
headed by mothers, and the effect of it is tremendous.
Nearly seventy percent of Black babies are deprived of their
right to two parents. And I say their right because
God has intended for every every child to see the
(02:47):
image of God as they grow into adulthood. And that
image is only possible where there is a dedicated man
and a dedicated woman and holy matrimony that are actually
imustrating what it means to be in covenant relationship with
each other and also covening up relationship with God. And
(03:07):
as a result of that, many of the values that
have made America great through the years are being under mattered. Futriitism, honesty,
hard work, discipline, love, devotion, all these things now being
displaced with an idea of actualization. Do what feels good,
(03:29):
what comes natural to you, And I tell you what
it is having a devastating impact. And I think, to
answer your question more briefly, it's because people are just
basically selfish.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
When you talk about what happens where boys and girls
are inherently different, but in each one of them, they
both need a father in the household. Let's talk first
about the boys are actually, say, the young men who
are being brought up in these communities, and they're being
brought up without a significant father figure, a male role
model in their household. What happens?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well, I think that we have to just start from
the very basis. It's not really it's not really a
sociological issue. It's a spiritual issue. And we know in
the very beginning God created the male and female and
told them to have dominion and to multiply, and that
meant that there was going to be a multiplication of
(04:25):
their values and the instruction that God had written in
their DNA, which was going to secure the human race
and the relationship that we had with God himself. So
we see it today as a cultural or social issue,
and we look at the social ramifications of their not
being a covenant relationship, But it is a spiritual issue.
(04:46):
It is a warfare, and unfortunately our children are the
biggest losers whenever these things happen. So, as you said,
I've got a dear friend, I'm sure you probably me
with her. Katie Foals the author of them before us.
He does a wonderful job talking about the importance of
(05:08):
parents making decisions based upon the impact of those decisions
upon their children, and not just what it's comfortable, what
is going to promote them financially, promote their career or whatever,
But how is the decisions I'm going to make today
going to affect my children and my grandchildren. That is
(05:28):
one right that every child should have. Every child should
have the right to two parents who are making decisions
that are going to be positive for the future and
well being of that child. So when we have young
men who don't have dads in the home, they don't
get modeled before them what a man is supposed to
(05:49):
be and what a man is supposed to do. And
one things we've got to do. We have got to
recruit these young men teenagers and younger, and we've got
to show them what a man is supposed to be
and what a man's duty is. And we've got to
glorify the responsibility that God is given to a man
(06:13):
and a woman as a parent.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
We're bringing up boys in households. We want to talk
about the girls in a minute, but the boys in
the households they don't have they don't have that significant
male role model. And when they don't have that in
the household, then they're looking outside the household. So they
find an older male, probably a run in the neighborhood
who becomes their father figure. And essentially the streets are
(06:35):
raising them. And when the streets raise them, they make
bad decisions. And the bad decisions include getting involved. You
don't learn how to, you know, make a dollar the
honest way, so you're making a dollar the dishonest way.
You're hustling, you're selling drugs on the streets, that sort
of thing, and it leads to a life of crime.
And then you get into this cycle of in jail,
out of jail, in jail, and now the streets aren't
raising them. Now the jails are raising them, and it
(06:57):
just gets worse and worse and worse for our young men,
and it ultimately leads to death.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well, you're definitely right about that, and I think that
we see we see that taking place as a cycle.
We call it generational curses. The Scripture called it generational curses,
and that's whatever a man fails to fulfill his responsibility
and the children, whether they are many times it may
be the result of divorced sometimes are just the result
(07:24):
of a father who was never there, simply engaged with
the woman and then the child as a result. I
personally believe now, I personally believe that we can deal
with fathers, but I think until we deal with fathers
and their relationship with their children's mothers, to try to
(07:47):
talk about fathers and their general in their relations with
their children is going to kind of put the horse
before the car or the cart before the horse. I
think the problem with fatherlessness is the problem between the
man and the woman that have created the child. And
I think that that is why the child suffers fatherlessness
(08:08):
because of the relationship has failed between his biological mom
and biological dad. I think that if we're going to
avert this situation, we've got to go back and focus
on the family. We got to focus on coven up relationship,
sexual responsibility, and we've got to create a generational view
(08:29):
where men and women look beyond their own pleasure or
what seems pleasurable or right for them at the moment,
and understand that they have the power to create life,
and when they create life, they have responsibility to that life.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
This is the reason why when I said there's an
issue with the boys, there's also an issue with the
girls being brought up in households where there's not a father,
because the girls are out there on the streets and
they're getting involved with young men, really boys, and they're
creating families when there shouldn't be a family created yet
because it's not a family at that point. They're just
creating children that are going to be fatherless because the
(09:04):
father that they selected for the to be the father
is really not ready. It's just a boy and a
boy now who's probably going to be involved in other
things and going to jail. So now you've got a
single another single parent household, and a lot of times
the mother ends up having to take the child to
the grandparents or an aunt or something like that, and
they're being raised in these just kind of put together
households by people who they're not ready to do this,
(09:28):
and it just becomes, like you said, a cycle again,
when there's not thought put into the creation of a
nuclear family with a father and then a mother and
then children that it's planned out.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I agree with you one hundred percent of what you're
saying that really does it really speak to the problems
quite well. You're absolutely correct about that. But what we
need is solutions. And the solution is not just to say, father,
you need to be in the house, because in order
for him to be in the house, he's got to
(10:01):
have a civil relationship with the woman in the house
and the mother, who is usually the primary caregiver of
the child. So we can't say go to your child.
We've got to say, go to your child's mother. There's
got to be a relationship there that permits them to
co opt as parents of that child. The problem that
(10:22):
we're dealing with is we will plun the thing at
fathers and we're saying, fathers, you need to be there,
and that is absolutely correct. I think that the problem
that we have in our community is because the father
is not there. But I think the problem of the
father being there is because the family has not been intact.
(10:42):
The father many times comes from a dysfunctional situation. Many
times they tried and failed because they didn't know how
to succeed at it. They didn't know how to structure
the family, they didn't know how to function in the family,
didn't have the grace, they didn't have the mercy to forgiveness.
They didn't have the humility, they didn't have the commitment,
they didn't have shared values and visions, and so they
(11:03):
didn't stay together. They had a rough time, they're separated.
How do we fill of this going forward. We've got
to go back to emphasis on relationships between men and women.
Before the children are ever born. We've got to get
them strengthened so that they can go through the passages
of life, the childs of life together in Covetor as partners.
(11:26):
And then when they have children, they become their common
responsibility and decisions they make are going to be to
prevent their children from becoming statistics, becoming shaped by the
culture and the voices that are contrary to human purolishing.
That becomes the responsibility of parents. So you are absolutely right,
(11:46):
we're seeing these things happen every day at our community.
The answer is going to be what Seafat is all about,
Christian families against destructive decisions, that is influencing the building
of strong our own families and strong generational heritages. And
until we activate ourselves beyond proclaiming the problem, to getting
(12:10):
our hands down into the mess or the mixture and
actually disciplining young men and young women and teaching them
family values and how to function, how to choose are
made and all these things. This is age, As you
said earlier, it is a cycle that will continue to
repeat itself. So while we're here talking about Father's Day,
(12:33):
I believe that we should celebrate fathers, but I think
that in America today, based on the statistics that you
stated and the problem we see, we need to have
a real serious conversation about the failure of fathers to
form lasting homes, not just fathering children, but lasting homes,
lasting relationship with women with their wives that endure the
(12:58):
test of time and give their than a solid foundation.
And I think that the failure of men and women
to do that is why we see so much fatherlessness today.
And the answer is going to be to go back
and re establish the family upon biblical principles, which requires
a lot of self sacrifice. It requires a commitment to marriage.
(13:21):
You have to be committed not only to marriage, but
to your marriage, but to marriage as a stabilizer for society.
We got the honor of other people's marriages, we got
the honor not just our own, but we gotta love
the state of marriage. We gotta love family in general,
not personal families, but just in the whole idea of
(13:43):
God's creation. And I believe that that is what we
as a nation have got to call men back to do.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Apostle Tommy E. Quick. He is a Project twenty one
ambassador and founder of the Christian Families Against Destructive Decisions
Apostle Quick. For people who want to find out more
about your work, where can they go as your replaced
on the Internet.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yes, they can go to CFADD dot org that SEAFAD
that is the acronym for Christian Families Against Destructive Decisions
dot org. Or they can visit us at community dot
CFAD dot org for more information. And thank you so much.
This is the conversation that we are continuously having with
(14:25):
young men and young women, and old men and old women,
of life, of every race and every creed. Because family
is not just an American idea. Some and tried to
say that it was a European idea, but it's not.
It began in Genesis, in the very first book of
the Bible, in the first two chapters, God established it
(14:48):
as stability and as a well of life for believers,
and it is the only thing that has stood the
test of time and its principles are the only one
that are sure us the greatest opportunity for both success
and happiness in life.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Apostle Quick, thank you so much for joining us on
Viewpoint Alabama.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It was my pleasure. Sir, God bless you.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
And you're listening to Viewpoint Alabama on the Alabama Radio Network.
My name is John Mounts and this is an election
year again. Now we're talking about the governor of the state.
As you know, Kivey's done a pretty good job running
our state, but she's term limited. She's not running, so
there are other people stepping up to run. We've already
heard from Tommy Tuberville, who is going to not be
(15:29):
seeking his Senate seat again, but instead of seeking the
governor's seat. Here is another Republican who also seeks that nomination.
We're talking with Kim mcfeeders.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Ken.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Welcome to Viewpoint.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Oh, thank you, good to be here.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
There are a lot of issues and I want to
get into all of them, but for starters, just introduce
everyone to for those who aren't familiar, who's Chemic Feeders?
And why are you running?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I'm running because I ran for Congress against Gary Palmer.
Not with the intention of winning, but with the intention
of talking about the issues, the big issues that no
one seems to be talking about, banking, monetary policy, the
COVID vaccine mandates and things like that. No one was
talking about him. So I ran that, spent my own money,
(16:11):
took no donations, and didn't win, but I used it
as a platform. I'm running now and I plan on
winning the governorship. I know Tommy's got a lot of
money and a lot of support. Is the question is
where's he getting the money and where's he getting the support.
It doesn't seem to be from Alabama that I don't
want Washington d C. To install a governor and the media,
(16:34):
and it seems that he's got the media one hundred
percent support and he's got Washington d C. Behind him
one hundred percent support. And I don't trust that.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And when you say you're concerned about Washington, do you
mean specifically President Trump or do you mean the larger
Washington machine, Because those are two very different entities.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yes they are, Yes they are, And I think it's
a little of both. If you look at the state legislature,
the state legislature is mostly run by trade associations. Well,
normally when someone runs for office, they go to these
associations and say, Hey, I'm running for governor, governor, I'm
not crazy, I'm not going to hurt the economy. I'm
not going to trash your businesses. Tommy hasn't done that.
(17:12):
No one in Montgomery. All the folks that are paid
to be politically connected in Montgomery know anyone that's running
or not know many people that are running Tommy's campaign.
So it's like, who's running him and why are they know?
It sounds like outsiders are running his campaign and trying
to elect an outsider. He doesn't live in Alabama.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And we heard that criticism back when he was running
for Senate that he lives in Florida. But he says
that he has property in Alabama, And I guess this
it is a point where does he reside? But right
now I guess he resides in Washington. I assume if
he became the governor, he would live in the governor's mansion.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Big difference between the Senate and the governorship as far
as your residency if you live one day in the state.
And this is how Hillary Clinton became the Senator of
New York. If you live one day in the state,
you can run for the Senate. The Alabama constitution says
you have to live in the state for seven consecutive years.
He does not do that. Al dot Com to a
(18:11):
show on it or an article on how much what
he turns his expenses over to get reimbursed in DC,
it's all from Dustin. He flies into Duston when he
leaves Washington, DC flies to Dustin. It's almost like Bill Clinton,
what is is? And then Tuberville, well, what is living?
What do you mean? Where do I live? What is living?
(18:31):
And it's like, there's it's an honesty issue and he's
not being honest.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So who would be the one to hold his feet
to the fire on this issue? Because you said it's
in our constitution? So what happens if somebody is in
violation of the constitution but they're running for office, who
stops him on that?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Unfortunately, the Republicans aren't going to do anything because I
think they're kind of happy with someone. You know that
their media is telling us how popular he is. But
Doug Jones and the Democrats, if you do you vote
for Tupperville in the primary, you're probably gonna elect Doug
Jones in the general election. The Democrats are gonna challenge
(19:09):
his citizenship in Alabama or his residency in Alabama. They've
got the resources to do it. If we elect Tupperville
in the primary, and then they've got the resources to
challenge it, and they also have the connections in the
judicial system to win that he'll be ineligible. Doug Jones
will be your.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Governor and Ken, you know, I would almost laugh at
that assertion, but we remember what happened when we end
up with Roy Moore as a Republican candidate for senator
and then we end it with Doug Jones as our
senator for a while. So we probably don't want that.
Or if you're a republicanized to say, you probably don't
want that to occur. I guess if you're a Democrat,
you say, go on.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Go on, right, there's you know, watching this walk into
a building on fire.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
So we've discussed why it is that Tommy Tupperville isn't
the guy, So why are you the guy who should
be the governor.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
One of the main reasons is I am local, I'm
fiercely independent. What Henry Ford said that as well enough,
the American people do not understand the banking and finances
of the United States or monetary system of the United States.
For if they did, there would be a revolution before
tomorrow morning. I mean, he's that confident that if they
(20:18):
actually knew how our monetary system would would be a
revolution before tomorrow morning. Well, everyone knows. For the last
five or six years, some really craziness is going on
on the national and international level. And we found out
that three companies, Black Rocks, State Street, and Vanguard currently
owned ninety five percent of the S and P five hundred,
so they have one controlling interests, which means they own
(20:42):
ninety five percent of our stock market. These same three companies,
which are really one company, are about to own sixty
percent of all single family residents and residences in the
United States. That's insanity.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And now when you say own, you mean because you
have a mortgage with the bank and the bank is
owned by one of those larger.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
No, they're buying sixty percent of the single family residences
in the United States and you will rent from them.
That's the way it's working. That's what's happening right now.
Institutional buyers are buying up all the single family homes.
That's why your children can't afford rent.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Anymore, because all the homes are being purchased. I did
not realize that that was the case. I guess I
thought that most of the houses on my street were
owned by people like me. I think used to be.
I mean, I'm not because I don't officially own my house. Technically,
the bank owns my house for the next fifteen years
or so. But you're saying this a lot of banks
out there, or you're seeing these.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
These institutional investors.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Institutional investors are buying are these like real estate and
rit or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
And then they pack the gym in Solomon. It ends
up being owned by black Rock, State Street in Vanguard,
which really one company. And that's when people are waking up.
Alabama has to be able to feed itself. We are legislatures,
especially Washington d C have destroyed the small and family farms.
That's how you survive people Alabama. Always, no matter what
(22:03):
plan on, everything working out, but you have to prepare
for stuff that doesn't happen or that might happen. Alabama
cannot right now, but we need to be able to
feed ourselves as well.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
We can only eat so much cotton.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Exactly, and trees. I mean, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Those are our two big crops. You're right, it's trees
and cotton, right, So yeah, it would be good if
we grew some other things and we have some soybeans
too and that sort of thing. But yeah, it would
be good to have com have more here. So what
are some other economic initiatives you have with within the state.
You know, we've done a lot of things. K Ivy
did a lot of things in particular and bringing industry
back to Alabama. You know, we have a lot of
(22:38):
car manufacturers here, I think because they're they don't like
the union situation in Michigan where we don't have unions here,
and so that's why you've got Hondai and Mercedes and
all these plants here. What's your what are your thoughts
about industry and bringing industry to the state.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Industry will go to where there's an educated populace. Our
schools were intentionally design for. In or nineteen thirteen, Rockefeller
kind of took over the school systems to give us
complicit workers. Not educated thinkers are critical thinkers. We need
to take our schools back. They're not teaching values nor
(23:14):
virtues in our schools at all. Our students come out
of school with no work ethic. They don't know what
foods to eat. They're not aware that the media is
completely being used against them, especially in the black communities.
I mean, if you've been watching these ditty things, the
folks behind the music industry and they also own the
(23:36):
jails are glorifying thug life, glorifying drugs and promisecuity. I mean,
when I was growing up in college or about to
go to college in high school, the number one movie
in the nation was Animal House, so where all the
cool kids got drunk and didn't study and all the
losers were the ones that study. Well, that's where I
went into college, and I was an idiot and I
(23:56):
had too much fun in college.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I got to say, Animal House told me I don't
want to have anything to do with a fraternity.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Exactly, or studying or taking school seriously. I wanted to
party and drink beer. I mean, that's what I did
then that that's not Hollywood, and our media is not
to help us. It's not to help humanity is to
keep us down.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
And to keep us, to keep us kind of my numbed.
And if we're my number then we're not. We're not
actually you know, in the libraries or on the internet
actually looking stuff up. We're just going along with the
crowd whatever it's on TikTok. That's what we know. Right well, Ken,
if you were to become the governor then and how
would you these are a lot of I guess you know,
ten thousand foot ideas you have. How would you go
about implementing some of this because a lot of it
(24:36):
sounds like things that needs a solution that's federal, not
necessarily state.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Well, the food that we will have, you know, did
in our food industry or self reliance and being able
to feed ourselves did not end overnight. It's not going
to correct itself overnight. Schools, on the other hand, would
be a fairly quick fix. We can control the educational
requirements of our teachers. Our teachers are vast disproportionately leaning
(25:01):
left and been through the colleges that almost indoctrinate them
into a leftist way of thinking. And they're the ones
teaching our kids, and they're not teaching values and virtues.
You can take folks from the military, give them a
quick course on how to teach, and get them certified
and teach, and these folks no values in virtues. They grew,
they spent you know, six or eight to ten years,
(25:22):
and if you've done that, we want you to teach
our kids. I'm sixty five years old, I've got a
lifetime of experience. I can't go teach a class. But
they can take a twenty one year old person that
just got out of a doctor eight in doctrination camp
which is college on some of them, and they can
teach and I can't. That makes absolutely no sense. We
need to take education back and teach values in virtues.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
What are your thoughts about the AEA, the Album Education Association.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
They're looking out for teachers, They're not looking out for
the best interests of our children. And that's under that's
what associations and Montgomery are supposed to do. And I mean,
I'm all for the associations. Alabama is fiercely independent. Our
legislative system down to Montgomery is run by the folks
that own these association or that run these associations to
(26:10):
protect your interests and ninety five percent of your interest
in Montgomery, and what the legislature does is about business
only five percent or the other things. Use the other
things to divide us so they can get elected and control.
But Montgomery is run the way it should be in Montgomery,
fiercely independent and it's home cooking, not foreigners. We don't
(26:33):
want Washington, d C. And the media deciding what goes
on in Montgomery. We want Montgomery to be run by Alabamians.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But Montgomery, there is a course of legislature down there too,
and it sounds like these ideas might be kind of
a radical of a lot of legislators might not be
able to go along with you. How would you build
coalitions with those legislators to get things passed, to get
bills on your desk that you're able to sign, that
you know, pull off your agenda.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I honestly believe that the folks in Alabama and the
association's work for the folks in Alabama will help with schools,
will help with harming because it's in their best interests,
their children's best interests, and their grandchildren's best interest And
then let the legislature and the associations do what they do.
On the business part, I mean that they've got a
(27:23):
good re working relationship. I know everyone you know. There
are a couple of associations and lobbyists down there that
have too much power, and that's that is I agree
with that, and people will say that, but it's a
lot better than DC. We do not want anything federal
or even international, and that's what I think we're getting.
(27:44):
We're getting a trojan horse with Tupperville.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Well, these are all things to consider when you go
to the polls this summer, because I believe this election,
as many are in Alabama, will be decided in the
in the primary because the general election unless, as you say,
we get a situation where Tupperville is elected as the
Republican nominee and then it turns out he's ineligible and
then you end up with Doug Jones or a candidate
(28:07):
much like him. There are a few is Doug actually running.
I didn't see where he was.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I've heard he is. It's not been announced, but there's
a lot of talk.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I've seen there's two two Democrat candidates running already, So
maybe he's gonna step in at the last minute. It's
it's possible, and anything's possible. Yeah, for more about you,
Ken on the internet, you have a website. What's the
best way what people google to make sure they get
your your straight message.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I'm getting the website up and going in the next
thirty days. But I'm on all social media platforms Ken
for Governor, Ken mcphader's on Facebook and Ken for Governor
on Facebook and x And I posted a video making
fun of Tupperville yesterday and put it on TikTok got
three or thirty eight, thirty six or thirty seven hundred
(28:51):
views yesterday and it's I'm going to use a lot
of humor in this. I'm gonna make fun of him
and he should be made fun of. And one of
the lines is fear of the Ears. Alabama, Fear the ears,
and that's an Auburn Tobe. Fear them.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Well, Ken, I remember your last run when you're running
for Congress. You have that truck with a big Chemmick
feeder sign in the back of it. Was that you
did you have that truck again?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I still have the truck and I will be putting
a big sign but closer to the election.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Watch out for those overpasses because that was a pretty
big sign.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
And I also, you cannot drive aggressively with the big
sign with your name on it, which really bothered me.
Not aggressively, but you can't you know you have to
be nice when you have a four foot by eight
foot sign in your truck bed.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Kimmick Meeter is a road warrior and also running for government.
Thank you so much for being on Viewpoint with me today.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Thank you, John, Thank you. You've been listening to Viewpoint Alabama,
a public affairs program from the Alabama Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
The opinions expressed on Viewpoint Alabama are not necessarily those
of the staff, management, or advertisers of this station.
Welcome to Viewpoint Alabama on the Alabama Radio Network and
this is Father's Day Weekend. I'm your host John mountsin
Today we are going to talk about why fathers are
so important to all of us. Joining me now is
Apostle Tommy Equick with a Project twenty one ambassador and
founder of the Christian Families Against Destructive Decisions. Tommy, Welcome
to the show.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well, this whether for to be here with you today.
Thank you for having me, and I look forward to
our conversation. This is certainly, I believe, one of the
heartbeat issues of our nation.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Well, while we know deep down that a two parent
household is ideal, that that's the best way for a
child to be raised, for the last i'd say probably
four decades or so, there's been this narrative saying that
dads are unnecessary at best. There. You know, it's kind
of like something you could have a dad, you don't
really need a dad, It's not necessary. And there's been
a devaluation of the family unit as a whole, and
(00:53):
it's been felt. It's been felt, especially in the black community,
probably more than anywhere else. Why do you think that is?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I think that what we're saying is the cumbination of
a narrative that is more anti biblical and anti Christ
and also destructive. There's a culture of death in our community,
in our nation today. We see that in the rate
of abortions, the rate of youth, the nasia, the vaguing
of life, all the way around. And I think that's
(01:20):
just one of the topics of one of the things
that is used to devalue life and to disrupt the family.
As you said before, the United States proximately twenty three
percent of children live in single parent households today, and
the majority of which are headed by a single mother,
and that translates to one in four children, or about
(01:42):
eighteen point four million children living without a biological step
or adoptive father in the home. The US in sorviewer
actually says that the proportion of single parent households has
doubled since nineteen seventy. As you said earlier, is disproportion
in the black community. And as a black pastor of
(02:05):
more than forty nine years of serving black families, predominantly
in black communities, I have seen the effect of that
type of messaging that theology has had on the family.
So yes, there's a significant number of Black children living
without their biological fathers. Statistics indicate that a substantial number
(02:25):
of Black children are raised in single parent homes, primarily
headed by mothers, and the effect of it is tremendous.
Nearly seventy percent of Black babies are deprived of their
right to two parents. And I say their right because
God has intended for every every child to see the
(02:47):
image of God as they grow into adulthood. And that
image is only possible where there is a dedicated man
and a dedicated woman and holy matrimony that are actually
imustrating what it means to be in covenant relationship with
each other and also covening up relationship with God. And
(03:07):
as a result of that, many of the values that
have made America great through the years are being under mattered. Futriitism, honesty,
hard work, discipline, love, devotion, all these things now being
displaced with an idea of actualization. Do what feels good,
(03:29):
what comes natural to you, And I tell you what
it is having a devastating impact. And I think, to
answer your question more briefly, it's because people are just
basically selfish.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
When you talk about what happens where boys and girls
are inherently different, but in each one of them, they
both need a father in the household. Let's talk first
about the boys are actually, say, the young men who
are being brought up in these communities, and they're being
brought up without a significant father figure, a male role
model in their household. What happens?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well, I think that we have to just start from
the very basis. It's not really it's not really a
sociological issue. It's a spiritual issue. And we know in
the very beginning God created the male and female and
told them to have dominion and to multiply, and that
meant that there was going to be a multiplication of
(04:25):
their values and the instruction that God had written in
their DNA, which was going to secure the human race
and the relationship that we had with God himself. So
we see it today as a cultural or social issue,
and we look at the social ramifications of their not
being a covenant relationship, But it is a spiritual issue.
(04:46):
It is a warfare, and unfortunately our children are the
biggest losers whenever these things happen. So, as you said,
I've got a dear friend, I'm sure you probably me
with her. Katie Foals the author of them before us.
He does a wonderful job talking about the importance of
(05:08):
parents making decisions based upon the impact of those decisions
upon their children, and not just what it's comfortable, what
is going to promote them financially, promote their career or whatever,
But how is the decisions I'm going to make today
going to affect my children and my grandchildren. That is
(05:28):
one right that every child should have. Every child should
have the right to two parents who are making decisions
that are going to be positive for the future and
well being of that child. So when we have young
men who don't have dads in the home, they don't
get modeled before them what a man is supposed to
(05:49):
be and what a man is supposed to do. And
one things we've got to do. We have got to
recruit these young men teenagers and younger, and we've got
to show them what a man is supposed to be
and what a man's duty is. And we've got to
glorify the responsibility that God is given to a man
(06:13):
and a woman as a parent.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
We're bringing up boys in households. We want to talk
about the girls in a minute, but the boys in
the households they don't have they don't have that significant
male role model. And when they don't have that in
the household, then they're looking outside the household. So they
find an older male, probably a run in the neighborhood
who becomes their father figure. And essentially the streets are
(06:35):
raising them. And when the streets raise them, they make
bad decisions. And the bad decisions include getting involved. You
don't learn how to, you know, make a dollar the
honest way, so you're making a dollar the dishonest way.
You're hustling, you're selling drugs on the streets, that sort
of thing, and it leads to a life of crime.
And then you get into this cycle of in jail,
out of jail, in jail, and now the streets aren't
raising them. Now the jails are raising them, and it
(06:57):
just gets worse and worse and worse for our young men,
and it ultimately leads to death.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well, you're definitely right about that, and I think that
we see we see that taking place as a cycle.
We call it generational curses. The Scripture called it generational curses,
and that's whatever a man fails to fulfill his responsibility
and the children, whether they are many times it may
be the result of divorced sometimes are just the result
(07:24):
of a father who was never there, simply engaged with
the woman and then the child as a result. I
personally believe now, I personally believe that we can deal
with fathers, but I think until we deal with fathers
and their relationship with their children's mothers, to try to
(07:47):
talk about fathers and their general in their relations with
their children is going to kind of put the horse
before the car or the cart before the horse. I
think the problem with fatherlessness is the problem between the
man and the woman that have created the child. And
I think that that is why the child suffers fatherlessness
(08:08):
because of the relationship has failed between his biological mom
and biological dad. I think that if we're going to
avert this situation, we've got to go back and focus
on the family. We got to focus on coven up relationship,
sexual responsibility, and we've got to create a generational view
(08:29):
where men and women look beyond their own pleasure or
what seems pleasurable or right for them at the moment,
and understand that they have the power to create life,
and when they create life, they have responsibility to that life.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
This is the reason why when I said there's an
issue with the boys, there's also an issue with the
girls being brought up in households where there's not a father,
because the girls are out there on the streets and
they're getting involved with young men, really boys, and they're
creating families when there shouldn't be a family created yet
because it's not a family at that point. They're just
creating children that are going to be fatherless because the
(09:04):
father that they selected for the to be the father
is really not ready. It's just a boy and a
boy now who's probably going to be involved in other
things and going to jail. So now you've got a
single another single parent household, and a lot of times
the mother ends up having to take the child to
the grandparents or an aunt or something like that, and
they're being raised in these just kind of put together
households by people who they're not ready to do this,
(09:28):
and it just becomes, like you said, a cycle again,
when there's not thought put into the creation of a
nuclear family with a father and then a mother and
then children that it's planned out.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I agree with you one hundred percent of what you're
saying that really does it really speak to the problems
quite well. You're absolutely correct about that. But what we
need is solutions. And the solution is not just to say, father,
you need to be in the house, because in order
for him to be in the house, he's got to
(10:01):
have a civil relationship with the woman in the house
and the mother, who is usually the primary caregiver of
the child. So we can't say go to your child.
We've got to say, go to your child's mother. There's
got to be a relationship there that permits them to
co opt as parents of that child. The problem that
(10:22):
we're dealing with is we will plun the thing at
fathers and we're saying, fathers, you need to be there,
and that is absolutely correct. I think that the problem
that we have in our community is because the father
is not there. But I think the problem of the
father being there is because the family has not been intact.
(10:42):
The father many times comes from a dysfunctional situation. Many
times they tried and failed because they didn't know how
to succeed at it. They didn't know how to structure
the family, they didn't know how to function in the family,
didn't have the grace, they didn't have the mercy to forgiveness.
They didn't have the humility, they didn't have the commitment,
they didn't have shared values and visions, and so they
(11:03):
didn't stay together. They had a rough time, they're separated.
How do we fill of this going forward. We've got
to go back to emphasis on relationships between men and women.
Before the children are ever born. We've got to get
them strengthened so that they can go through the passages
of life, the childs of life together in Covetor as partners.
(11:26):
And then when they have children, they become their common
responsibility and decisions they make are going to be to
prevent their children from becoming statistics, becoming shaped by the
culture and the voices that are contrary to human purolishing.
That becomes the responsibility of parents. So you are absolutely right,
(11:46):
we're seeing these things happen every day at our community.
The answer is going to be what Seafat is all about,
Christian families against destructive decisions, that is influencing the building
of strong our own families and strong generational heritages. And
until we activate ourselves beyond proclaiming the problem, to getting
(12:10):
our hands down into the mess or the mixture and
actually disciplining young men and young women and teaching them
family values and how to function, how to choose are
made and all these things. This is age, As you
said earlier, it is a cycle that will continue to
repeat itself. So while we're here talking about Father's Day,
(12:33):
I believe that we should celebrate fathers, but I think
that in America today, based on the statistics that you
stated and the problem we see, we need to have
a real serious conversation about the failure of fathers to
form lasting homes, not just fathering children, but lasting homes,
lasting relationship with women with their wives that endure the
(12:58):
test of time and give their than a solid foundation.
And I think that the failure of men and women
to do that is why we see so much fatherlessness today.
And the answer is going to be to go back
and re establish the family upon biblical principles, which requires
a lot of self sacrifice. It requires a commitment to marriage.
(13:21):
You have to be committed not only to marriage, but
to your marriage, but to marriage as a stabilizer for society.
We got the honor of other people's marriages, we got
the honor not just our own, but we gotta love
the state of marriage. We gotta love family in general,
not personal families, but just in the whole idea of
(13:43):
God's creation. And I believe that that is what we
as a nation have got to call men back to do.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Apostle Tommy E. Quick. He is a Project twenty one
ambassador and founder of the Christian Families Against Destructive Decisions
Apostle Quick. For people who want to find out more
about your work, where can they go as your replaced
on the Internet.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yes, they can go to CFADD dot org that SEAFAD
that is the acronym for Christian Families Against Destructive Decisions
dot org. Or they can visit us at community dot
CFAD dot org for more information. And thank you so much.
This is the conversation that we are continuously having with
(14:25):
young men and young women, and old men and old women,
of life, of every race and every creed. Because family
is not just an American idea. Some and tried to
say that it was a European idea, but it's not.
It began in Genesis, in the very first book of
the Bible, in the first two chapters, God established it
(14:48):
as stability and as a well of life for believers,
and it is the only thing that has stood the
test of time and its principles are the only one
that are sure us the greatest opportunity for both success
and happiness in life.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Apostle Quick, thank you so much for joining us on
Viewpoint Alabama.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It was my pleasure. Sir, God bless you.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
And you're listening to Viewpoint Alabama on the Alabama Radio Network.
My name is John Mounts and this is an election
year again. Now we're talking about the governor of the state.
As you know, Kivey's done a pretty good job running
our state, but she's term limited. She's not running, so
there are other people stepping up to run. We've already
heard from Tommy Tuberville, who is going to not be
(15:29):
seeking his Senate seat again, but instead of seeking the
governor's seat. Here is another Republican who also seeks that nomination.
We're talking with Kim mcfeeders.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Ken.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Welcome to Viewpoint.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Oh, thank you, good to be here.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
There are a lot of issues and I want to
get into all of them, but for starters, just introduce
everyone to for those who aren't familiar, who's Chemic Feeders?
And why are you running?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I'm running because I ran for Congress against Gary Palmer.
Not with the intention of winning, but with the intention
of talking about the issues, the big issues that no
one seems to be talking about, banking, monetary policy, the
COVID vaccine mandates and things like that. No one was
talking about him. So I ran that, spent my own money,
(16:11):
took no donations, and didn't win, but I used it
as a platform. I'm running now and I plan on
winning the governorship. I know Tommy's got a lot of
money and a lot of support. Is the question is
where's he getting the money and where's he getting the support.
It doesn't seem to be from Alabama that I don't
want Washington d C. To install a governor and the media,
(16:34):
and it seems that he's got the media one hundred
percent support and he's got Washington d C. Behind him
one hundred percent support. And I don't trust that.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And when you say you're concerned about Washington, do you
mean specifically President Trump or do you mean the larger
Washington machine, Because those are two very different entities.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yes they are, Yes they are, And I think it's
a little of both. If you look at the state legislature,
the state legislature is mostly run by trade associations. Well,
normally when someone runs for office, they go to these
associations and say, Hey, I'm running for governor, governor, I'm
not crazy, I'm not going to hurt the economy. I'm
not going to trash your businesses. Tommy hasn't done that.
(17:12):
No one in Montgomery. All the folks that are paid
to be politically connected in Montgomery know anyone that's running
or not know many people that are running Tommy's campaign.
So it's like, who's running him and why are they know?
It sounds like outsiders are running his campaign and trying
to elect an outsider. He doesn't live in Alabama.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And we heard that criticism back when he was running
for Senate that he lives in Florida. But he says
that he has property in Alabama, And I guess this
it is a point where does he reside? But right
now I guess he resides in Washington. I assume if
he became the governor, he would live in the governor's mansion.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Big difference between the Senate and the governorship as far
as your residency if you live one day in the state.
And this is how Hillary Clinton became the Senator of
New York. If you live one day in the state,
you can run for the Senate. The Alabama constitution says
you have to live in the state for seven consecutive years.
He does not do that. Al dot Com to a
(18:11):
show on it or an article on how much what
he turns his expenses over to get reimbursed in DC,
it's all from Dustin. He flies into Duston when he
leaves Washington, DC flies to Dustin. It's almost like Bill Clinton,
what is is? And then Tuberville, well, what is living?
What do you mean? Where do I live? What is living?
(18:31):
And it's like, there's it's an honesty issue and he's
not being honest.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So who would be the one to hold his feet
to the fire on this issue? Because you said it's
in our constitution? So what happens if somebody is in
violation of the constitution but they're running for office, who
stops him on that?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Unfortunately, the Republicans aren't going to do anything because I
think they're kind of happy with someone. You know that
their media is telling us how popular he is. But
Doug Jones and the Democrats, if you do you vote
for Tupperville in the primary, you're probably gonna elect Doug
Jones in the general election. The Democrats are gonna challenge
(19:09):
his citizenship in Alabama or his residency in Alabama. They've
got the resources to do it. If we elect Tupperville
in the primary, and then they've got the resources to
challenge it, and they also have the connections in the
judicial system to win that he'll be ineligible. Doug Jones
will be your.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Governor and Ken, you know, I would almost laugh at
that assertion, but we remember what happened when we end
up with Roy Moore as a Republican candidate for senator
and then we end it with Doug Jones as our
senator for a while. So we probably don't want that.
Or if you're a republicanized to say, you probably don't
want that to occur. I guess if you're a Democrat,
you say, go on.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Go on, right, there's you know, watching this walk into
a building on fire.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
So we've discussed why it is that Tommy Tupperville isn't
the guy, So why are you the guy who should
be the governor.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
One of the main reasons is I am local, I'm
fiercely independent. What Henry Ford said that as well enough,
the American people do not understand the banking and finances
of the United States or monetary system of the United States.
For if they did, there would be a revolution before
tomorrow morning. I mean, he's that confident that if they
(20:18):
actually knew how our monetary system would would be a
revolution before tomorrow morning. Well, everyone knows. For the last
five or six years, some really craziness is going on
on the national and international level. And we found out
that three companies, Black Rocks, State Street, and Vanguard currently
owned ninety five percent of the S and P five hundred,
so they have one controlling interests, which means they own
(20:42):
ninety five percent of our stock market. These same three companies,
which are really one company, are about to own sixty
percent of all single family residents and residences in the
United States. That's insanity.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And now when you say own, you mean because you
have a mortgage with the bank and the bank is
owned by one of those larger.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
No, they're buying sixty percent of the single family residences
in the United States and you will rent from them.
That's the way it's working. That's what's happening right now.
Institutional buyers are buying up all the single family homes.
That's why your children can't afford rent.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Anymore, because all the homes are being purchased. I did
not realize that that was the case. I guess I
thought that most of the houses on my street were
owned by people like me. I think used to be.
I mean, I'm not because I don't officially own my house. Technically,
the bank owns my house for the next fifteen years
or so. But you're saying this a lot of banks
out there, or you're seeing these.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
These institutional investors.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Institutional investors are buying are these like real estate and
rit or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
And then they pack the gym in Solomon. It ends
up being owned by black Rock, State Street in Vanguard,
which really one company. And that's when people are waking up.
Alabama has to be able to feed itself. We are legislatures,
especially Washington d C have destroyed the small and family farms.
That's how you survive people Alabama. Always, no matter what
(22:03):
plan on, everything working out, but you have to prepare
for stuff that doesn't happen or that might happen. Alabama
cannot right now, but we need to be able to
feed ourselves as well.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
We can only eat so much cotton.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Exactly, and trees. I mean, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Those are our two big crops. You're right, it's trees
and cotton, right, So yeah, it would be good if
we grew some other things and we have some soybeans
too and that sort of thing. But yeah, it would
be good to have com have more here. So what
are some other economic initiatives you have with within the state.
You know, we've done a lot of things. K Ivy
did a lot of things in particular and bringing industry
back to Alabama. You know, we have a lot of
(22:38):
car manufacturers here, I think because they're they don't like
the union situation in Michigan where we don't have unions here,
and so that's why you've got Hondai and Mercedes and
all these plants here. What's your what are your thoughts
about industry and bringing industry to the state.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Industry will go to where there's an educated populace. Our
schools were intentionally design for. In or nineteen thirteen, Rockefeller
kind of took over the school systems to give us
complicit workers. Not educated thinkers are critical thinkers. We need
to take our schools back. They're not teaching values nor
(23:14):
virtues in our schools at all. Our students come out
of school with no work ethic. They don't know what
foods to eat. They're not aware that the media is
completely being used against them, especially in the black communities.
I mean, if you've been watching these ditty things, the
folks behind the music industry and they also own the
(23:36):
jails are glorifying thug life, glorifying drugs and promisecuity. I mean,
when I was growing up in college or about to
go to college in high school, the number one movie
in the nation was Animal House, so where all the
cool kids got drunk and didn't study and all the
losers were the ones that study. Well, that's where I
went into college, and I was an idiot and I
(23:56):
had too much fun in college.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I got to say, Animal House told me I don't
want to have anything to do with a fraternity.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Exactly, or studying or taking school seriously. I wanted to
party and drink beer. I mean, that's what I did
then that that's not Hollywood, and our media is not
to help us. It's not to help humanity is to
keep us down.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
And to keep us, to keep us kind of my numbed.
And if we're my number then we're not. We're not
actually you know, in the libraries or on the internet
actually looking stuff up. We're just going along with the
crowd whatever it's on TikTok. That's what we know. Right well, Ken,
if you were to become the governor then and how
would you these are a lot of I guess you know,
ten thousand foot ideas you have. How would you go
about implementing some of this because a lot of it
(24:36):
sounds like things that needs a solution that's federal, not
necessarily state.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Well, the food that we will have, you know, did
in our food industry or self reliance and being able
to feed ourselves did not end overnight. It's not going
to correct itself overnight. Schools, on the other hand, would
be a fairly quick fix. We can control the educational
requirements of our teachers. Our teachers are vast disproportionately leaning
(25:01):
left and been through the colleges that almost indoctrinate them
into a leftist way of thinking. And they're the ones
teaching our kids, and they're not teaching values and virtues.
You can take folks from the military, give them a
quick course on how to teach, and get them certified
and teach, and these folks no values in virtues. They grew,
they spent you know, six or eight to ten years,
(25:22):
and if you've done that, we want you to teach
our kids. I'm sixty five years old, I've got a
lifetime of experience. I can't go teach a class. But
they can take a twenty one year old person that
just got out of a doctor eight in doctrination camp
which is college on some of them, and they can
teach and I can't. That makes absolutely no sense. We
need to take education back and teach values in virtues.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
What are your thoughts about the AEA, the Album Education Association.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
They're looking out for teachers, They're not looking out for
the best interests of our children. And that's under that's
what associations and Montgomery are supposed to do. And I mean,
I'm all for the associations. Alabama is fiercely independent. Our
legislative system down to Montgomery is run by the folks
that own these association or that run these associations to
(26:10):
protect your interests and ninety five percent of your interest
in Montgomery, and what the legislature does is about business
only five percent or the other things. Use the other
things to divide us so they can get elected and control.
But Montgomery is run the way it should be in Montgomery,
fiercely independent and it's home cooking, not foreigners. We don't
(26:33):
want Washington, d C. And the media deciding what goes
on in Montgomery. We want Montgomery to be run by Alabamians.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But Montgomery, there is a course of legislature down there too,
and it sounds like these ideas might be kind of
a radical of a lot of legislators might not be
able to go along with you. How would you build
coalitions with those legislators to get things passed, to get
bills on your desk that you're able to sign, that
you know, pull off your agenda.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I honestly believe that the folks in Alabama and the
association's work for the folks in Alabama will help with schools,
will help with harming because it's in their best interests,
their children's best interests, and their grandchildren's best interest And
then let the legislature and the associations do what they do.
On the business part, I mean that they've got a
(27:23):
good re working relationship. I know everyone you know. There
are a couple of associations and lobbyists down there that
have too much power, and that's that is I agree
with that, and people will say that, but it's a
lot better than DC. We do not want anything federal
or even international, and that's what I think we're getting.
(27:44):
We're getting a trojan horse with Tupperville.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Well, these are all things to consider when you go
to the polls this summer, because I believe this election,
as many are in Alabama, will be decided in the
in the primary because the general election unless, as you say,
we get a situation where Tupperville is elected as the
Republican nominee and then it turns out he's ineligible and
then you end up with Doug Jones or a candidate
(28:07):
much like him. There are a few is Doug actually running.
I didn't see where he was.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I've heard he is. It's not been announced, but there's
a lot of talk.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I've seen there's two two Democrat candidates running already, So
maybe he's gonna step in at the last minute. It's
it's possible, and anything's possible. Yeah, for more about you,
Ken on the internet, you have a website. What's the
best way what people google to make sure they get
your your straight message.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I'm getting the website up and going in the next
thirty days. But I'm on all social media platforms Ken
for Governor, Ken mcphader's on Facebook and Ken for Governor
on Facebook and x And I posted a video making
fun of Tupperville yesterday and put it on TikTok got
three or thirty eight, thirty six or thirty seven hundred
(28:51):
views yesterday and it's I'm going to use a lot
of humor in this. I'm gonna make fun of him
and he should be made fun of. And one of
the lines is fear of the Ears. Alabama, Fear the ears,
and that's an Auburn Tobe. Fear them.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Well, Ken, I remember your last run when you're running
for Congress. You have that truck with a big Chemmick
feeder sign in the back of it. Was that you
did you have that truck again?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I still have the truck and I will be putting
a big sign but closer to the election.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Watch out for those overpasses because that was a pretty
big sign.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
And I also, you cannot drive aggressively with the big
sign with your name on it, which really bothered me.
Not aggressively, but you can't you know you have to
be nice when you have a four foot by eight
foot sign in your truck bed.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Kimmick Meeter is a road warrior and also running for government.
