**The Will to Win: Trump's 30% Blind Spot in the Iran Conflict** In this live Friday call-in segment, the host addresses a jam-packed week of political developments, beginning with the recent immigration raid in Abbeville, South Carolina. The monologue breaks down the severe, non-victimless reality of identity fraud facilitated by plant managers before transitioning to a lively exchange with a caller regarding national security, election integrity, and the efficacy of voter roll purges based on the Ron DeSantis Florida playbook. The core of the episode features a detailed debate with a caller from Simpsonville over the strategic paralysis defining the current conflict with Iran. Defending American military readiness against claims of supply-chain ossification and logistical quagmires, the host argues that the nation's primary hurdle is political will rather than capability. Pointing to Donald Trump's own admission that the U.S. halted operations with 30% of military targets left untouched, the host strongly criticizes the administration's decision to leave active Iranian radar installations and launch facilities intact. The commentary concludes with a demand for strategic clarity, questioning why the U.S. is turning off maritime transponders to hide from a regime it possesses the total capability to neutralize.

H1-S2 full 00:00 you 00:13 All welcome back to the program. Let's go to the WRD talk line. We'll talk to Robert in Blue Ridge. How you doing, Doing well, how are you? I'm great. What's up, man? 00:24 i'm hearing lindsey graham spent eighteen million and advertising to get a job that's going to play one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars a year can you please explain that made because i just can't agree that don't make a whole lot of sense does it that doesn't seem like a good return on investment to me i in fact i heard it was more like i was saying one per one person said they do you spend twenty seven million 00:49 I that's a lot of money. I can't buy them, Liz. I can't either. I appreciate it, Robert. Thank you very, very much. But you folks in Greenville and Spartanburg, and my listeners here, you can take something away from this, that you were the only folks in the state of South Carolina to say no to Lindsey Graham. You said, nah, baby, nah. We don't want your 01:19 Little Mermaid, Bubble Wand, Toton Self to be our Senator. In Spartanburg County, Mark Lynch won with 43 % of the vote. Lindsey Graham got 41. Greenville County, Mark Lynch got 44.89 % of the vote. Lindsey Graham got 40 % of the vote. Lindsey won in every, let me just, oh, yeah, look at this. 01:43 Yeah, Lindsey Graham winning big down in Charleston. You go to Berkeley County, Lindsey Graham winning huge there. Let's go to Lexington County, Lindsey Graham winning big there, 61%. Richland County, 63%. Let's just take a look. I mean, just go up to Cherokee. Lindsey got 52. Pickens County. Wait, this is what gets me. Pickens County. 02:11 You guys showed up and booed Lindsey Graham practically off the stage. 02:18 Right there in downtown Pickens. 02:24 And then you turn around and vote for them with 45 % of the vote. I don't get it. don't get it. Oconee County, Lindsay 51%, York County, 48, Lancaster County, 61%. I don't get it. I promise you, I don't get that. I really don't. We need change. Well, just vote for the same old guy. We appreciate that. So, I mean, that to me. 02:54 That to me is amazing. It really is. So we got six more years of Lindsey Graham, eight actually, um so to speak. Well, six and a half. um 03:08 More years of Lindy Graham. 03:12 And as much as he has, and I can't understand why people can't see it when he does it. That's the only thing. Maybe people aren't just paying attention. But Lindsey Graham will stab Donald Trump in the back. He did it just a few weeks ago with the Iran deal. Talking about how the Iran deal was bad and was going to be a victory for the Iranians. And even Donald Trump had to come out with a statement saying, you people don't even know what the deal is and you're out there talking bad about it. 03:43 If Lindsey Graham 03:47 were in any other position in the Senate, I don't think Trump would have endorsed him. I really don't. I don't think Trump would have endorsed him. But right now he's head of the Budget Committee, and he will probably be once again head of the Senate Judiciary Committee. um If he beats Dr. Annie Andrews, we'll see. But Lindsey Graham right now to Donald Trump is a necessary evil. 04:15 And I'm going to stick by my prediction that he wins this thing in November. He's going to turn on Trump. Let's go to Doug in Simpsonville. Doug, welcome. Hey, nice talking to you again. I just want to thank Word 98.9 because I think if it wasn't for you guys, ah Lindsey would have won in Greenville. ah Maybe. 04:44 You've been putting out the word, uh well, literally. anyway, I just wanted to give a tip to the hat to the whole team. Well, I appreciate that. Thank you. I wish you covered all of South Carolina. And I know some callers have come in and said, hey, King, just uh link your coverage to some other cell towers or something. I wish it was an easy solution. uh 05:14 hey i have i have disagreements with you sometimes with care etc but i'm nine percent of the issues uh... uh the ... 581 Wed, 10 Jun 2026 19:33:00 +0000 kzYxxHikjOv3kjk0Pw8cJbHLjFSJSkPg news The Charlie James Show Podcast news H1-S2 The Charlie James Show originates from News/Talk 989 WORD, The Upstate's #1 Talk Station, weekdays 3-7pm.

Hour 3 full 00:04 I polls close one hour 53 minutes. I'm excited. Let's go to Michael in Spartanburg. Michael, welcome. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I just got to disagree with you about Ralph Norman. Okay. Watching his debates. He said anything that got past the bill. 00:35 Well, what I go on is the fact that we sat down with Joe and I sat down with him for an hour where these debates they get what 40 seconds to respond. 00:47 Yeah, so I just have to go with my own personal experience from everybody. listen, hey man, you vote for who you want to vote for. That's fine with me. Long as you get out there and vote. This is an interesting text. It says, Charlie, this morning, Mike was saying that Lindsey Graham has stood by Trump the whole time. I also listened to Tara talking about how Lindsey Graham and his BFF, John McCain, falsely accused Trump of colluding with the Russians. 01:16 and handed the fake dossier to the FBI. I'd hardly call that standing by Trump. Trump is only endorsing Graham out of pragmatism. That's right. Graham is a necessary evil in the Trump world. But I'm going to make this prediction again. You wait and see. Lindsey Graham, look at what Lindsey's had to do. He's had to spend $27 million on this campaign. 01:44 To some reports, Lindsey Graham spent $27 million against Mark Lynch. That's a lot of money. Because Lindsey Graham knows he's in trouble. 01:56 So, Lindsey needed Donald Trump, but he still just stabbed Donald Trump in the back, and I'll give you a perfect example. A couple of weeks ago, and this is, see, that's the thing, when people say, oh, Lindsey stands by Donald Trump, because they only listen to what Lindsey Graham says. 02:14 That's all they do. You ask some of these people, why do think Lindsey Graham stands by Donald Trump? Well, because I heard that ad that Lindsey Graham stands by Donald Trump. Wait a minute, hold on. Let's dig a little deeper into that. You go and you look, just a couple of weeks ago, Lindsey Graham was saying that the... 02:46 Iran deal was a bad deal and that it would hand victory to Iran. 02:56 Now here's the funny thing about that. So Lindsey came out and he criticized the Iran deal. But the thing about that was Lindsey had no idea what the deal was. Nobody knew what the deal was. Lindsey was not privy to the deal. Even Donald Trump came out and he said, all of these panicans out there talking about the deal, we don't have a deal yet. There is no deal. So Lindsey Graham came out and stabbed Donald Trump in the back. The only time Lindsey Graham agrees with Donald Trump on Iran is when he thinks 03:26 Donald Trump's gonna put boots on the ground and we all know that's exactly what he wants. 03:32 So no, I don't see Lindsey Graham as an ally. So there you go. All right, let's go to Michael from Rock Hill. Michael, welcome. 03:44 Oh, Michelle, how are you? I'm sorry. I was spelled wrong. I appreciate what's Hey, welcome. 03:52 I'm doing good, what's up? 04:09 Yes. right. You're either going to vote in the Republican primary or you're to vote in the Democrat primary. 04:21 Well, because you can't vote in both primaries. I don't think there's any state to just allow you to vote in uh just one, one, you know, both parties' primaries. 04:39 Maybe this is my first primary. 04:45 No, but this is, all now maybe so. Maybe you've never, maybe you just have voted in the general election in the past. This is the primary to decide who the candidate is going to be to go on to the general election. Okay. Okay? All right, That's not the way it goes. All right, Michelle, I appreciate it. Thank you so much for calling. Charlie, I remember the Pickens rally. Trump said, be easy on Lindsay. has uses, or yeah, he said he needs them with the Democrats, whatever. 05:14 Let's go to Tory in Simpsonville. Tory, welcome. Hey, Charlie. Yes, sir. It seems unconstitutional uh violation of the First Amendment. um Why do they have stickers up or posters up saying that there's no photography ... 1885 Tue, 09 Jun 2026 22:04:00 +0000 2yH3ouHQ1ycgzroJpJPQKL3hPH7urOrr news The Charlie James Show Podcast news Hour 3 The Charlie James Show originates from News/Talk 989 WORD, The Upstate's #1 Talk Station, weekdays 3-7pm.

00:00 All right, let's go to the WROD talk line and we'll talk to Doug in Simpsonville. How you doing, Doug? Doing good, Charlie. How about yourself? I'm doing great. What's up, So, you know, I was really intrigued by one of the uh one of the callers before saying, you know, the way to the governor chip is pledged to open up offshore and, you know, that's all great. Yeah. 00:30 And I really like some of the things Ralph Norman has said, what he's going to do. And my question is how? And frankly speaking, what I want to hear as a pledge from uh a candidate for governor is that they will declare that they will sign no legislation until the open primary system is eliminated. Because until we do that, we've got this 00:59 chicken and egg thing. Yeah. Oh gee, if we get out there and vote, we'll put better people in and we'll close the primaries or gee, we can't close the primaries because we got crap people in legislature. Somebody needs to force it by shock. And I don't know if this will work or not, but it's what I want to hear. Here's the thing though. I mean, even our governor right now, Henry McMaster, he's not for opening the primaries. I mean, for closing the primaries, he's for them open. 01:28 And he has said that he will veto any bill that comes to his desk to close the primaries. Isn't that interesting? is why we need a governor who says he will veto any bill, any and all bills, until the legislature closes the primaries. We've got to force action. You know, Doug, I'm not opposed to that. I appreciate it. But here, and you got to go back to what he opened up his comments with about the whole chicken and the egg thing. 01:58 You've got, and I told you yesterday, that the people that are really getting the primary heat right now, and we've just had the filing just, I mean, it just started, it's about to end, but filing didn't start, just started a few weeks ago. 02:18 The establishment is the one that's really getting the heat. The people in there with the Freedom Caucus, the folks that want to close the primaries, the people that want good conservative legislation, they're not really getting a whole lot of pushback. They're not getting a whole lot of people standing up against them. It's the establishment. 02:41 that is getting all the pushback. Now here's the deal. This is where you come in and you have got to get out and vote on June 9th because that is what 11 weeks, I believe 11 weeks from today. We're be going to the polls and we're gonna be voting to see who the candidates are. And I would think about 95 % of these races, the candidate that wins the primary goes on to win in the general election. With very few exceptions, that happened. 03:11 So you getting out and voting is going to be the number one thing you can do. First of all, make sure that our state legislature is more conservative than it is. And number two, it will make sure that our governor is the most conservative governor that we can actually get. Then we might see some things changing here in this state. But as we stand right now, the weird part is 03:38 is because way back in the day when the Democrats ruled this state, they were so afraid that a black person 03:47 might win the governor's seat that they made sure that the governor's office had very little power. That's why our state legislature is actually more powerful than the governor here in South Carolina, one of a handful of states that is like that. I wouldn't mind seeing that to be a little more balanced. I wouldn't mind seeing the governor having a little more responsibility than he does here in South Carolina and a little more authority. 04:17 That to me would be possibly a good thing. I know we might be down the road, might have some weird things happen and it might come back to bite us, I would like to, because right now it's already come back to bite us. We've got a wildly liberal, and I mean that, we have a liberal state legislature. They did a survey of ...

When I say that S.E. Tschritter has a heart of gold, trust me on that! Our chat was both warm and deeply meaningful. I felt truly honored to connect with someone so kind and empathetic. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Samantha, I didn't want to stop speaking with her. One of the best conversations. Sam E. Tschritter (pronounced Shridder) is a celebrated author with multiple awards to her name. She focuses on expressing grief and loss, guiding those in pain towards hope and healing. Through her poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, Tschritter creates work that resonates powerfully with readers long after the final page is turned. With over 20 years of leadership experience and contributions to more than 40 books, she speaks her truths with candor, humor, and genuine love. Growing up in Chicagoland and having lived in Minnesota and Oregon, Tschritter has a rich tapestry of perspectives from across the nation. Nestled in Simpsonville, South Carolina, she shares her home with her husband, their three daughters navigating the teen and preteen years, two playful cats named Pitter and Patter, and a spirited Siberian husky, affectionately named Onomatopoeia (a name she lost the voting for!). For Tschritter, there's nothing quite like the rejuvenating magic of gardening. It's her go-to escape for tackling those pesky plot holes, getting through writer's block, shaping characters, and brainstorming book concepts. Gardening truly holds a special place in her heart and occupies a significant chunk of her time!Samantha Evans' book, "The Prodigal's Son: Crackhead to Jesus Freak," recounts a life-altering night that began at 1:30 a.m. with a phone call that no spouse ever wants to receive. “Mrs. Evans, a sergeant from the police department here. There's been an accident.” Just six hours later, another devastating call followed: “Mrs. Evans, a nurse from the hospital. We discovered something concerning in the CAT scan.” That Sunday, instead of delivering his sermon, Pastor Clint Evans found himself facing jail time, grappling with a BAC of .24, a cancer diagnosis, and a felony charge for fleeing from the police. "The Prodigal's Son: Crackhead to Jesus Freak" is an inspiring tale of a Christian's relentless struggle with demons, addictions, and feelings of unworthiness. This narrative showcases a God who shines brightly, bestowing grace upon a man often deemed "unredeemable." The Prodigal's Son bursts open the church doors wide, welcoming society's misfits and urging the devout to rethink how they measure their own spiritual worth against those struggling with addiction, homelessness, and despair. Journeying from gutter to pulpit, from grace to the grave, this powerful narrative reveals the depth of God's relentless love for those society often overlooks. It also tells the story of a pastor facing the consequences of drunk driving, shedding light on the devastating impact of alcoholism on families. Many suffer in silence: 'My wife hid her addiction from me' and 'My husband concealed his alcoholism.' The struggle with drug addiction touches millions.

Local elections just reshaped the landscape in Greenville, Greer, Easley, Travelers Rest, Simpsonville, and even at the state house level—and the ripple effects won't just be political. This episode breaks down what flipped, who got voted out, and how those decisions could impact growth, new development, impact fees, housing affordability, and ultimately what it costs to live and invest in the Upstate. From anti-growth backlash to a state house race decided by just 20 votes, Stan unpacks why these “small” elections matter way more to your daily life and real estate than most people realize.

It's Monday, June 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Christian acquitted of blasphemy against Islam charge Last Thursday, a Pakistani judge acquitted a 28-year-old Christian named Farhan Masih of blasphemy against Islam and terrorism charges after the prosecution failed to prove its case against him, reports Morningstar News. Masih had developed a mental illness due to excessive use of synthetic drugs and was entrapped in the false accusation by the complainant. According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth most difficult country worldwide in which to live for Christians. Dear God, we thank you for enabling Farhan Masih, this Pakistani Christian, to be acquitted. Amen. Israel attacks Iran over atomic weapon; Iran retaliates Israel launched blistering attacks on the heart of Iran's nuclear and military structure Friday, deploying warplanes and drones previously smuggled into the country to assault key facilities and kill top generals and scientists, reports the Associated Press. Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu explained. NETANYAHU: “Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of Tehran have brazenly, openly called for Israel's destruction. They backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons. “In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs – nine!  In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year. It could be within a few months.” Iran retaliated by firing waves of ballistic missiles at Israel, where explosions flared in the skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and shook the buildings below. The Israeli military urged civilians to head to shelter, as missiles damaged homes and killed two people. U.S. Senate considers defunding Planned Parenthood In the midst of the U.S. Senate's ongoing debate about the budget, they are determining whether to defund Planned Parenthood, as President Trump has requested, reports Liberty Counsel Action. The situation is fluid and can change at any moment because of the razor-thin margin of votes.  Only  two weeks remain to get the budget on President Trump's desk.  Whether or not your two U.S. Senators are Republicans or Democrats, please call them at 202-224-3121 – any time of the day or night -- and urge them to DEFUND Planned Parenthood. Democratic Minnesota Rep. killed and Minnesota Senator injured in targeted attack A Minnesota Democratic lawmaker and her husband were shot and killed in their home early Saturday by someone posing as a police officer and a second Democratic lawmaker and his wife were wounded in what some have described as  “targeted political violence,” reports the Associated Press. Former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her spouse were killed in their Brooklyn Park home. The other lawmaker, Democratic State Senator John Hoffman, and his wife, were shot multiple times in Champlin, a suburb of Minneapolis. Bob Jacobson, Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety, spoke at a press conference. JACOBSON: “This is a dark day today for Minnesota and for democracy, but we will not allow fear or violence to define who we are or how we move forward.” The gunman has been identified as Vance Luther Boelter, whom Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had previously appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Council. Christian singer Michael Tait confesses homosexual conduct & drug abuse Last Tuesday, Michael Tait, the former lead singer of the Christian rock band Newsboys and a member of the Grammy-winning group DC Talk, publicly confessed to a history of "reckless and destructive behavior," including drug and alcohol abuse and unwanted sexual conduct involving men, reports The Christian Post. In a written statement on Instagram, the 59-year-old singer acknowledged that the reports  are “sadly, largely true." He wrote, "For some two decades, I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way. I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it — sin. “I was violating everything I was raised to believe by my God-fearing Dad and Mom, about walking with Jesus and was grieving the very God I loved and sang about for most of my life. By His grace, I can say that for the past six months, I have lived a singular life—one of utter brokenness and total dependence on a loving and merciful God." Tait's confession follows an in-depth investigative report published on June 3rd by The Roys Report documenting that three men accused him of sexual assault during separate incidents dating back to 2004. Tait quoted Psalm 51, King David's famous prayer of repentance: "Blot out my transgressions … create in me a new heart, O God." God-haters upset with 10 Commandments displayed in Arkansas schools A group of God-hating organizations has filed a lawsuit against a recently passed law in Arkansas that requires public schools to display the Ten Commandments on the wall in a 16-inch by 20-inch poster with a  font size that makes it easily readable, reports The Christian Post. Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint on Wednesday on behalf of a religiously diverse group of parents. At issue is Act 573, a measure signed into law by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in April and is scheduled to take effect in August. The lawsuit argues that "Act 573 is not neutral with respect to religion." Republican State Senator Jim Dotson, one of the bill's primary sponsors, argued in March that the Decalogue displays were not unconstitutional. He said, "From the state to the federal level all throughout our history, it is an historical reference point or historical document that has basic things like you shall not kill, steal, commit adultery -- those basic foundations of life that are good for everybody to keep front of mind so that we are hopefully living good lives," reports KATV. After God revealed the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai, Exodus 20:20 records Moses telling the Jews, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.” Worldview listeners in South Dakota, Colorado, and Indiana share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts -- along with your full name, city and state -- and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Jason Bollwerk in Rapid City, South Dakota wrote, “I am a homeschooled sophomore in high school, and I listen daily to The Worldview for school. My reason for listening is not only to hear what is happening in the world, but I love hearing about all the good things that God is doing out there. Most media outlets show the dark side of what's going on. But The Worldview really shows what God's doing. Tally ho and pip pip.” Cheryl Ball in Indianapolis, Indiana wrote, “I've been reading the transcript of your newscast every morning since the presidential debates last year. I don't watch the news or read other news. So, this is basically my news input and I'm thankful for it.” And Dennis and Alyssa Guse in Castle Rock, Colorado, said, “Thank you for the faithful work you and The Worldview in 5 Minutes team do for the glory of God!  We are blessed to hear relevant news stories and encouraging Scriptures every day.  Keep up the great work for the Kingdom!”  Dennis asked if I could lead an occasional short prayer for one of the news items. I  called him to say that that was a great idea and I would take him up on the suggestion. 17 Worldview listeners gave $6,821 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this past weekend, 17  listeners stepped up to the plate by 1:00pm Central on Saturday. We were only 3 donors short of our 20-donor goal. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $25 as well as Elisabeth in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and Karen in Waterford, Wisconsin --  both of whom gave $50, and Daniel in Mayflower, Arkansas who pledged $8 per month for 12 months for a gift of $96. We're grateful to God for Leasa in Simpsonville, South Carolina, George in Edinburgh, Indiana, and Woody in Sparks, Nevada – each of whom gave $100 as well as Laura in Millstadt, Illinois and Kerry and Rosana in San Antonio, Texas – both of whom gave $200. And we were touched by the generosity of Derrick in Evans, Georgia who gave $250, Justin and Oliver in Grover Beach, California who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Eric in Warren, Minnesota who also pledged $25 per month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Matt, Amanda, Elijah, Malachi, and Samuel in Greencastle, Indiana who gave $450, Shy in Ingalls, Indiana who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a total gift of $600, Aaron in Fort Bragg, North Carolina who gave $1,000, Katie in Hutchinson, Kansas who gave $1,000, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who will match those last two $1,000 donations with another $2,000 gift of his own. Those 17 Worldview listeners gave a total of $6,821. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $38,892.20 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   That means we fell $22,857.80 short of our $61,750 mid-point goal to stay on the air and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. Toward this Friday, June 20th's goal of $92,625, we need to raise $53,732.80. Remember, if you are one of the 4 final people who give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift.  Now, if that happens today, Monday, June 16th we will have raised an additional $8,000. In order to raise the remaining amount, I need to find 38 Worldview listeners who will pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And another 76 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. Has God placed it on your heart to be one of the Christian patriots to fund this unparalleled newscast which unashamedly cites relevant Scripture, includes compelling soundbites, and practical action steps to speak out for Biblical principles?

In this relaxed and whiskey-rich episode of The Bourbon Road, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter take a well-earned pause from their recent travels and barrel picks to enjoy a night of good conversation and even better pours. Broadcasting from the Bourbon Road Bar in Simpsonville, Kentucky, the duo dives into a curated flight of four whiskeys—two bourbons and two ryes—with a monster of a surprise in the final glass. You'll hear stories of legendary Kentucky moonshine, high-proof adventures, and reflections on the growing bourbon community, including updates on their recent roadie meetups and the much-anticipated debut of the Frankfurt Documentary. There's even a toast to their “podcast enemies” over at Pursuit United, as Jim and Todd sample the Melwood Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon—a nod to whiskey history and the legacy of George Swearingen and Rudolph Balki. The episode is more than just tasting notes (though there are plenty): it's about community, history, and the shared appreciation of exceptional spirits. Learn about Melwood Avenue's historic distilling past, find out what makes the rare 375ml release from Pursuit United so unique, and stick around for insights on upcoming barrel picks, roadie events, and the always vibrant Bourbon on the Banks Festival. And yes, they saved the strongest for last—literally. One of the highest-proof pours ever featured on the show makes a thunderous finish, sparking memories of mason jars, X-marked moonshine, and the kind of burn only true Kentuckians could admire. So pour yourself a generous dram and settle in. This episode is one for the books—and for the bourbon shelves.

And welcome to the program on your Friday afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Getting ready for the weekend. Man, I'd tell you what. Oh, boy. I got a big weekend planned. Yeah. Tomorrow, I'm, I don't like to brag, but, I'm going to the dump. I know. I but, hey. I know. I get it. A lot of people wish they could go to the dump, but I'm doing it. Take some yard waste to the dump, to first thing tomorrow morning. Yeah. Lots of yard work getting because, I mean, it is we've had such a wet spring so far. What what did they say? April showers bring May flowers? Looks like April showers bring May showers. That's what we've got right now. So, time to catch up on a little yard work this weekend, get everything looking good around the house. Maybe watch a little bit of the PGA championship on the T. We. But, looking forward to the weekend, absolutely. By the way, speaking of television, did you see the way that Donald Trump arrived in Qatar? Did you see that? Holy if there I have never seen anything more majestic than Air Force One flying into Qatar surrounded by United States military fighter jets in formation. It was so unbelievably impressive. Oh my goodness. I I just I I I I bet I watched that that it was a very short clip. I bet I bet I watched it 20 times. It was just that impressive. I mean, absolutely amazing. Now remember, these are the same people that were going, Charlie, Trump is gonna embarrass us all throughout the world. It's, nobody's gonna respect us. Hello? Respect? Did you see the way he was he was greeted and Saudi? Did you see him being escorted by those Arabian stallions? Did you see the oh, man. It was fantastic. This guy has got more respect now on the world stage than Joe Biden ever had, ever. He didn't even come close, not even a little bitty bit. So, I mean, pretty darn cool. It really, really was. But that's but not the oh, oh, no. Trump's not gonna be well, oh, oh, Trump. And even also Hillary Clinton. This is kinda funny. Hillary Clinton made some comment the other day about that, the jet from Qatar. Basically, the replacement jet for Air Force One from Qatar, the flying palace, the palace with wings. And she was like, well, you know, if if you get you know, if you receive this kind of a gift from a foreign nation, I'm pretty sure there's some quid pro quo going on. And then people started pointing out the guess who took a whole bunch of money from Qatar. Did anybody guess? The Clinton Foundation. The Clinton Foundation took a whole bunch of money from Qatar. Not only that, the Clinton Foundation took a whole bunch of money from countries all over the planet, including Russia. How much did Hillary Clinton get to speak in Moscow? It was a lot of money. It was a great deal of money. So a lot of people pointed back. Sometimes, some my my grandfather always used to tell me. He said, boy, never miss a good opportunity to shut up. And Hillary Clinton missed that opportunity. So there you go. It's got a Bruce in Simpsonville and talked to him. Bruce, welcome to the program. How are you doing, my friend? I'm doing alright. Yeah. Which dump you planning on going to? You know the one by the Mesa Soccer Fields? Yes. Okay. That's gonna be. Yeah. It's okay, if that's close to you. I'm it used to be close to me when I lived on 14, but I'm not off Fairview. Okay. So I go to Hips Road. So but I tore down my deck, and I went to Hips. And he measured it. He said I had five yards. You you're only allowed to do three yards a day. Yeah. Right. So I said, oh, okay. So I'll just unload half, and I'll bring the other half to the box. No. I didn't do it like that. So you need to go down to Twin Chimneys. Oh. The next day I go down next day I go down to Twin Chimneys, and it cost me $20 for me to dump my bag boards. Yeah. I I just when they start charging it was last year they enacted something, but, you know, if you got a certain amount or whatever, they're gonna charge you. So Yeah. They they you're right about ...

And welcome to the program on your TGIF afternoon. Thank goodness it's Friday. Looking forward to the weekend. Not as much as I look forward to last weekend when I went fly fishing. This weekend, oh, it's gonna be better than that. I get to trim a huge a huge loropetalum in my yard. That's not gonna be fun at all. I but the whole time, I'm gonna be thinking about fly fishing. I try I promise you that. So, I hope you guys have a great weekend. Oh, by the way, we are going to the, Simpsonville Farmer's Market tomorrow. I believe it is their first day tomorrow that they'll be open, and they're in a brand new location there in Simpsonville. They were in the bank parking lot kind of area. Now they've moved over to where the new police station is, and it's kind of over where the dog park is. It's a very nice area. It really, really is. So it's gonna be nice and shaded and all of that. So, looking forward to going to the Simpsonville Farmers Market this weekend. Well, I tell you what, the more you learn about Columbia, the madder you need to get. Now I know you think you're mad right now. I know you you fully believe that that you're mad at Columbia. But what you really need to do is take that anger and multiply it several times several times. Columbia, South Carolina, our state capital, is absolutely it is the swamp. It is absolutely the swamp. They have things going on in Columbia that would absolutely curl your hair. Now, A lot of this stuff, you you know, sometimes you wonder why are these people so, so hell bent on keeping these positions of power when it only pays, you know, right now, and I know they voted themselves a pay raise, but it only pays about $10,000 a year plus per diem. Why why why is this so important to them? Because it that's what they're paid. But what they make is a lot more than that. They make a lot more than that. This is a club in Colombia. It's a club, and they don't want you to know it's it's almost like a, a secret society. Like, they got a secret handshake, and they've got rituals that they go through. And you are not privy to what happens in Colombia. And the biggest perpetrators of all are the lawyer legislatures legislators in Colombia. The lawyer led legislators, they are a huge problem. And I give you a perfect example. Let's say you're Scout Motors, and you wanna come into South Carolina. Well, you're going to South Carolina, what do you need? You need yourself a good lawyer, don't you? Need myself a good lawyer. Yep. Oh, yeah. We are we are going to, to South Carolina. We are going to build the Scout's Mortise Plant, and the first thing we need to do is get a good attorney. Are there is there any attorneys working in their state legislature? Oh, there are a bunch of them. Yeah. So who do they hire? They hire a lawyer, legislator. How about that? How about you wanna build a casino in South Carolina? How about you do that? Well, what do you look for? You look for a good lawyer legislator, and you hire them. Because now it is practically guaranteed that the bill will pass because your guy that is on retainer is also in the state legislature. We have got so much corruption going on. And and and and since and since our state legislature votes on who is sitting on the bench, well, now they got the double whammy. So now if you sue them, well, they just take you in front of a friendly judge that is not going to that is not gonna side with you. It is absolutely disgusting. And the worst part of it is the worst part of it of of, of this whole thing is, if you try to stand in their way, if you try to stand up to what the lawyer legislators are doing in Columbia, they will try to kick you out of the club. They will try to remove you. You have to be moved aside so that they can do the jobs that they're really there to do, and that job is not representing you. If their job that job is representing their clients. That job is representing lobbyists. That job is representing donors. That job is ...

What happens when two first-generation farmers decide to team up instead of compete? Today on the Thriving Farmer Podcast, Michael is joined by Jody Prosser and Mady Hastings, co-owners of Urban Roots Collective in Simpsonville, South Carolina. These first-generation female farmers each started out with their own small farms and no prior ag experience—but when they met, they quickly realized they could grow more and serve more together. Now operating as a team, they're cultivating vegetables, flowers, and animals on regenerative principles and selling through a unique farmstand model that's as much about community as it is about food. Tune in to hear how they built Urban Roots from the ground up, the lessons they've learned in soil health, collaboration, and customer engagement, and what's next for this dynamic duo.  Episode Highlights: The Origin Story: How did Mady and Jody move from running competing farms to joining forces? [1:45] Soil Strategies: How they approach soil fertility and composting in a tough growing region [9:00] Animals on the Farm: The breeds they raise and how they find niche markets for their products [14:21] Floral Focus: How flowers play into their farm's identity and offerings [17:11] Selling Plants: What they've learned about marketing and moving plant starts [26:16] Sales Strategy: Their approach to encouraging customer loyalty and repeat visits [31:52] The Trading Post: How this farmstand supports both their business and local makers [36:58] Future Goals: What they're dreaming up next for Urban Roots Collective [38:50] Don't miss Mady and Jody's inspiring story of how teamwork, tenacity, and a shared vision transformed two solo farms into a thriving collaborative rooted in regenerative practices and deep community connection. About the Guests: Urban Roots Collective is a regenerative farm offering top notch, "beyond organic" flowers, produce, heritage meats, eggs and more. Jody and Mady are competitors turned business partners after a friendship blossomed through shared interests and their "same person, different font" energy. Once their separate businesses collided, Urban Roots Collective was born; expanding their reach, impact, and mission ten fold.  

Former Clemson star Patrick Sapp watched a large number of the recent spring practices for the Tigers. Sapp is closer to the team than usual because his son Josh plays tight end for Clemson. Sapp gives his extended thoughts and insights on what he observed, and where he thinks the Tigers are headed in Year 17 under Dabo Swinney. Last August, Sapp was bullish on the idea that Cade Klubnik and the offense had made real progress and would shine in 2024. That conviction proved true, as the Tigers' final act was stressing an elite Texas defense in ways the Longhorns hadn't been pushed previously. Sapp also shares why he's spent so much of his time and passion on helping Clemson athletes set themselves up for success after their playing careers end. When Sapp played for Clemson in the 1990s, there was no PAW Journey and almost nothing devoted to helping him and other athletes develop relationships that could lead to real-world occupations. That's changed in a big way over the years and Sapp is an integral part of it. On Monday at Holly Tree Country Club in Simpsonville, Sapp will preside over the One Clemson Golf Tournament that will include Dabo Swinney, Charlie Whitehurst, CJ Spiller and other Clemson luminaries. One Clemson helps transition Clemson student-athletes to their careers by providing meaningful work experience and community-service opportunities. For more information go to one-clemson.com.

It's Wednesday, October 30th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims beheaded 4 people including a Christian Open Doors UK reports that Muslim extremists beheaded four abducted individuals recently in northeast Nigeria. At least one of them was a Christian. The terrorists released a graphic video of the murders and are believed to be from Boko Haram. In the video, an armed terrorist said, “Wherever there is an infidel, we will go and find them out by ourselves and execute them.” John Samuel with Open Doors said, “Boko Haram extremists have clearly said time and time again that they are waging a jihad against people they call ‘infidels' – that is anyone who does not sign up to their extreme interpretation of Islam. Some of the people at the top of this list, then, are Christians who are clear targets because of their faith.” 60,000 Brits sign freedom of prayer petition Alliance Defending Freedom released a petition for freedom of prayer in the United Kingdom. this month. Already, nearly 60,000 people have signed it. Authorities in the U.K. recently convicted a Christian of violating censorship zones around abortion mills. Army veteran Adam Smith-Connor had simply prayed silently near an abortion mill! Alliance Defending Freedom sent the petition to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer. It states, “Freedom of thought is our most basic and precious of rights -- and has long been recognized in British law and every major human rights document from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights onwards.” Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” Kamala calls Trump a “petty tyrant,” likening him to King George III Last night, Vice President Kamala Harris made her campaign's closing argument in a speech at the Ellipse in the nation's capital, reports The Epoch Times. Her campaign claimed that 75,000 people were in attendance. The rally was located at a symbolic site for two reasons. First, it had a direct view of the White House. And secondly, it's the place where Trump delivered his speech on January 6, 2021, that preceded the Capitol breach. HARRIS: “Nearly 250 years ago, America was born when we wrested freedom from a petty tyrant. Across the generations, Americans have preserved that freedom, expanded it, and, in so doing, proved to the world that a government of, by, and for the people is strong and can endure. (cheers) “Those who came before us, the patriots at Normandy and Selma, Seneca Falls and Stonewall (cheers), on farmlands and factory floors, they did not struggle, sacrifice, and lay down their lives only to see us cede our fundamental freedoms. (cheers) “They didn't do that only to see us submit to the will of another petty tyrant.  (cheers) These United States of America, we are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators.” GOP Congressman: People are done with Kamala's fear mongering Appearing on The Angle with Laura Ingraham on Fox News, Republican Congressman Byron Donalds of Florida rejected the nasty tone, fear mongering, and unsupported accusations in the waning days that Kamala Harris has adopted. Listen. DONALDS: “They were joy and vibes three weeks ago. Now, everything is  ‘attack Donald Trump,'  ‘call him Hitler,'  ‘call his supporters fascists.' “We were at Madison Square Garden. Laura, it was great to see you there. It was a fantastic night. “You had people like myself, Vivek Ramaswamy, ‘Harry-O,' the founder of Death Row Records. We spoke at that rally. Do you think the Nazis would let two black guys and a guy of Hindu dissent speak at a rally? At one of theirs? Absolutely not! But that's all they have. “The constant fear mongering and gaslighting is enough. People are sick of it. They're done. They're done with Kamala Harris and they're done with this version of the Democrat Party.” Washington Post, L.A. Times, & USA Today don't endorse for president Breaking with recent practice, major news outlets are not endorsing a candidate in the upcoming presidential election. The Washington Post announced last Friday it is not making a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years.  The Los Angeles Times and USA Today also announced they will not be endorsing a candidate for president. In the wake of the decisions, top editors resigned and 200,000 left-leaning subscribers to the Washington Post cancelled their subscriptions.  Many conservatives have concluded that Jeff Bezos and Patrick Soon-Shiong, the billionaire owners of the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times respectively, have concluded that Trump is likely to win the 2024 election and do not want to irritate him by endorsing Kamala Harris. How God spared a couple in Hurricane Helene Queen City News reports a North Carolina couple is giving thanks to God after surviving Hurricane Helene. Howard Ray and his wife, Lisa, thought they were about to die as flooding swamped their trailer in Yancey County. However, they were able to escape the trailer and use their couch as a flotation device. Eventually, they made their way to safety. HOWARD: “I don't understand. We shouldn't be alive. I mean, there's just no way. It's all God.” LISA: “Yeah, we shouldn't be alive, but God has a purpose.” REPORTER: “What do you think that purpose is?” LISA: “I'm not sure. I'm still asking questions.” HOWARD: “I think maybe what we're doing right now, maybe it gets out and shows people that there is a God.” Lisa had to be hospitalized for some cuts, and Howard, a lieutenant with the local volunteer fire department, returned to the area to help first responders. They both praised God for His protection.  Worldview listeners fully fund Pakistani orphanage well And finally, if you heard the newscast on Monday, you learned that a 200-foot-deep well of a Pakistani Christian orphanage, which housed 87 orphans, had become polluted with chemicals which tragically led to the deaths of two orphans. Toward the $15,000 cost of building a 500-foot-deep well which will deliver safe drinking water, Pastor Michael, the founder of the orphanage whom I have met personally, still needed to raise the final $4,185.  Thanks to several Worldview donors on Monday, the amount remaining was $3,110. And yesterday, Michele in Altha, Florida gave $100, a couple from San Antonio, Texas gave $150, a family in Lexington Park, Maryland gave $150,  a couple in Paw Paw, Michigan gave $500, a couple in Kailua Kona, Hawaii gave $500, a couple in Simpsonville, South Carolina gave $1,000, and Dick and Deborah in Wayland, Michigan -- along with their teenage sons Jonas and Jeremiah who contributed money from their dog-sitting business – gave $1,054.75. Those 7 donations add up to $3,454.75. That means we surpassed the goal by $344.75.  The additional money will go toward the $2,000 monthly budget which pays for the food, clothing, medical care, and Christian education of the 85 orphans. If you would like to help with that budget, send your tax-deductible donation made out to Rio Grande Valley Prayer Center, their sister organization here in America. The address is 3106 Harmony Lane, Mission, TX 78574.  In the memo, write: “Pakistani orphanage.” The prayer center will then wire your money to a nearby bank in Pakistan.  Please email me at Adam@TheWorldview.com to let me know how much you sent so I can offer one final report on Thursday's newscast. James 1:27 says, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, October 30th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Hey guys, happy Saturday! Wow, it's been a whirlwind couple of weeks, hasn't it? Yesterday, I whisked Ahzerei, my son Z, off to the fantastic College Internship Program tour in Bloomington, Indiana. It's a three-hour drive from home, but totally worth it. The program is amazing and will surely help him reach his dreams. We also had a blast at the spooky soiree event with our friends in Lexington. So, yes, I'm a bit late with this, but life has been a bit of a rollercoaster! Speaking of life-changing programs, I recently chatted with two incredible moms, Suellen Barnes and Susan Ballerstedt, who started the Next Step training program in Simpsonville, Kentucky. Frustrated by the lack of support for autistic young adults after high school, they took matters into their own hands. Their program is all about empowering young adults with autism to gain independence and job skills. It's so heartwarming to hear about their mission and the difference they're making. Their approach is so unique, combining cognitive training, occupational therapy, and social skills development. The best part? Their program is small and personalized, ensuring that each participant gets the attention they deserve. It's inspiring to see how they're creating opportunities not just in Kentucky, but potentially around the world! If you're in Kentucky or anywhere else and feel like there are no resources for autistic young adults, know that you're not alone. Programs like Next Step are working hard to change that narrative, and we can all be a part of that change. Let's support each other and spread the word. Together, we can make a difference! Thanks for tuning in, and remember, there's nothing you can't do. Keep adulting, and I'll catch you on Monday with a mini-episode. Love you all!   https://www.nextstepky.org/about nextsteptrainingprogramky@gmail.com Susan Ballerstedt, Program Coordinator, ballerstedt@twc.com Want to be a guest on Adulting with Autism?

They are currently being imprisoned in Xaibouathong District prison.” After Pastor Mum put his faith in Christ in 2019 upon experiencing God's healing, he established a church that worshipped freely in his home According to Open Doors, Laos is the 21st most difficult country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Please keep Pastor Mum and the other five Christians in your prayers. Biden gave confusing answer on economy Last night in Atlanta, President Joe Biden, the Democrat, debated former President Donald Trump, the Republican, on CNN ahead of the November 5th presidential election. With Jake Tapper and Dana Bash as co-anchors, the set up was unusual. Unlike most presidential debates, there was no live audience.  Plus, during the answer of one candidate, his opponent's microphone was turned off which prevented any interruptions. (You can watch the entire 90-minute debate or read the debate transcript through special links at www.TheWorldview.com.) Out of the gate, the hosts asked about the economy.  Biden championed the redistribution of wealth and then became confused, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Listen. BIDEN: “What I'm gonna do is fix the tax system. For example, we have 1,000 trillionaires in America, I mean billionaires in America. And what's happening? They're in a situation where they, in fact, pay 8.2% in taxes. If they just paid 24%, 25% -- either one of those numbers -- they raise $500 million dollars, billion dollars I should say, in a 10-year period. We'd be able to wipe out his debt. “We'd be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do -- child care, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we're able to make every single, solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the, with the COVID, excuse me, with um, dealing with everything we have to do with, uh..  Look, we finally beat Medicare.” Trump claimed that illegals will bankrupt Social Security and Medicare JAKE TAPPER: “Thank you, President Biden. President Trump?” TRUMP: “Well, he's right. He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death and he's destroying Medicare. Because all of these people are coming in. They're putting them on Medicare. They're putting them on Social Security. They're going to destroy Social Security. This man is going to single-handedly destroy Social Security. “These millions and millions of people coming in. They're trying to put them on Social Security. He will wipe out Social Security. He will wipe out Medicare. So, he was right in the way he finished that sentence. And it's a shame. What's happened to our country in the last four years is not to be believed.” Trump speaks out in favor of Abortion Kill Pill Dana Bash asked about the Abortion Kill Pill which 63% of mothers who abort their children use instead of surgical abortion today. BASH: “This is the first presidential election since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. This morning, the court ruled on yet another abortion case, temporarily allowing emergency abortions to continue in Idaho. “Despite that state's restrictive ban, former President Trump, you take credit for the decision to overturn Roe v Wade which returned the issue of abortion to the states.” TRUMP: “Correct.” BASH: “However, the federal government still plays a role in whether or not women have access to abortion pills. They're used in about two-thirds of all abortions. As President, would you block abortion medication?” TRUMP: “First of all, the Supreme Court just approved the Abortion Pill. And I agree with their decision to have done that. And I will not block it. “If you look at this whole question that you're asking is 51 years ago. You had Roe v. Wade, and everybody wanted to get it back to the states. Everybody -- without exception, Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives -- everybody wanted to back -- religious leaders. “And what I did is I put three great Supreme Court justices on the court, and they happened to vote in favor of killing Roe v. Wade, and moving it back to the states. Now the states are working it out. If you look at Ohio, it was a decision that was an end result that was a little bit more liberal than you would have thought. Kansas, I would say the same thing. Texas is different. Florida is different, but they're all making their own decisions right now. And right now, the states control it. That's the vote of the people.” In Psalm 139:13-14, David says to God, “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Biden championed abortion, then fell apart President Biden, who has campaigned on his commitment to codify Roe v. Wade into law, took issue with Trump's victory lap over Roe v. Wade's defeat. BIDEN: “It's been a terrible thing what you've done. The fact is that the vast majority of constitutional scholars supported Roe when it was decided, supported Roe. This idea that they're all against it, it's just ridiculous. And this is the guy who says the state should be able to have it. We're in a state where in six weeks, you don't even know whether you're pregnant or not, but you cannot see a doctor and have him decide on what your circumstances are, whether you need help. “The idea that states are able to do this is a little like saying, ‘We're gonna turn civil rights back to the states -- that each state has a different role.' “Look, there's so many young women -- including a young woman who just was murdered, and [Trump] went to the funeral. The idea that she was murdered by an immigrant coming into, they talk about that. But here's the deal. There's a lot of young women to be raped by their, by their in-laws, by their spouses, brothers and sisters. By, it's just, it's just ridiculous. And they can do nothing about it. And then they try to arrest them when they cross state lines.” BASH: “Thank you.” The age of the candidates, and their golf games, were addressed Dana Bash raised the issue of age with both candidates. This is how Trump responded. BASH: “Former President Trump, you would be 82 at the end of your second term. What do you say to voters who have concerns about your capabilities to serve?” TRUMP: “Well, I took two tests, cognitive tests. I aced them, both of them as you know. We made it public. He took none. I'd like to see him take one, just one, a real easy one. Like go through the first five questions. You couldn't do it. I took physical exams every year. I'm in very good health. “I just won two club championships, not even senior, two regular club championships. To do that, you have to be quite smart, and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way. And I do it. He doesn't do it. He can't hit a ball 50 yards. He challenged me to a golf match. I think I'm in very good shape. I feel that I'm in as good a shape as I was 25, 30 years ago. Actually, I'm probably a little bit lighter.” BASH: “President Biden?” BIDEN: “I'd be happy to have a driving contest with him. I got my handicap, which when I was vice president, down to a six. By the way, I told you before, I'm happy to play golf, if you carry your own bag. Do you think you can do it?” TRUMP: “That's the biggest lie that he is a six handicap of all." BIDEN: “I was at an eight handicap.” TRUMP: “Yeah, I've seen his swing. I know your swing. Let's not act like children.” BIDEN: “You are a child!” Presidential historian: “Most disjointed, least substantive, most dishonest debate” Appearing on “News Nation,” presidential historian Chris Stirewalt offered this analysis. STIREWALT: “In the 64 years of presidential debates, I feel pretty confident that I can say this is the worst one that has ever been done. The most disjointed, the least substantive, the most dishonest. I'm sure the only one that involved a debate about golf handicaps, fat jokes, and somebody calling somebody ‘Brandon.' This was a real low watermark. “I will say that no incumbent has ever done as poorly as Joe Biden did. In 1976, Gerald R. Ford got tangled up talking about Poland and Soviet domination of Poland. And it probably cost him a full term as president. It probably cost him that election. “And I'm here to tell you that what Joe Biden did tonight in the first hour of that debate, if he stays in this race, we will look back and say that the strategy by the Biden campaign to force an early debate and put Donald Trump front and center, and get this revved up, was a catastrophically bad strategic choice.” Why two Montana teens gave $100 and $25 to The Worldview Last night, I talked to a 17-year-old named Amos in Montana who gave $25 to help fund The Worldview. AMOS: “The money I contributed came from a job I have for our family business. People hire us to carry off their junk or just stuff they don't use anymore. We take it mostly just to the dump or, if we can, resell it or take to the thrift store. We like to do that too.” Amos told me what he likes about the newscast. AMOS: “I like the updates on the persecuted brothers and sisters around the world. It encourages me to pray for them more.” Plus, he mentioned the greatest moral issue of our time. AMOS: “I appreciate the updates on legislation concerning abortion in the U.S. and around the world. It helps me to pray for good leadership more. So, my prayer is that God's love for life would be upheld in our country.” I also spoke to a 13-year-old named Dahlia who lives in Helena, Montana. DAHLIA: “I like how you add Bible verses to some of your stories that you tell.” She decided to give $100. DAHLIA: “I have been listening to The Worldview for a long time and I would be sad if it stopped. So, when I decided to give some money, one hundred dollars is just what came to my mind.” Dahlia makes money by playing her violin at the Helena, Montana Farmer's Market every Saturday. DAHLIA: “People passing by usually give me tips in my violin case. I play about an hour at a time, for four hours. Over the course of four hours, I usually get around a hundred dollars of tips. And that's what I decided to donate to The Worldview.” In Acts 20:35, “The Lord Jesus Himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'” 32 Worldview listeners donated $15,977.47 And finally, toward our $84,000 final goal by 5:00pm central this Saturday, June 29th, 32 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate to help fund our 6-member news team for another fiscal year. Our thanks to Thor, age 12, in Pleasantville, Tennessee who gave $9, Tirzah, age 10, in Pleasantville, Tennessee who gave $11, Oliver in Santa Maria, California who gave $20, as well as Steve in Mission Viejo, California, Leslie in Florham Park, New Jersey, and Rick in Vista, California  – each of whom gave $25. We're grateful for Rob in Annandale, Virginia who gave $25.47 as well as Margaret in Howell, Michigan, Michelle in Sparta, Michigan, and Emily in Hutchinson, Kansas – each of whom gave $50. We appreciate Tiveria, age 16, and Tikvah, age 16, -- both of whom are from Pleasantville, Tennessee, and gave $60 each, Tony and Jennie in Palmdale, California who gave $75, as well as Nancy in Ketchikan, Alaska, Evan in Marietta, Georgia, Emmilee in Center Point, Iowa, Patricia in Blackfoot, Idaho, and Elisha in Paris, Texas – each of whom gave $100. We were touched by the support of Frederick in Kennesaw, Georgia who pledged $10/month for 12 months for a gift of $120, an anonymous donor in San Antonio, Texas, Amy in St. Cloud, Florida, and Serge in Simpsonville, South Carolina – each of whom gave $200. We're thankful to God for Heidi in Elsenham, Essex, England and Julie in White Hall, Maryland – both of whom gave $300 as well as Dean in Paulden, Arizona and Patricia in Blackfoot, Idaho – both of whom pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. And we appreciated the sacrifice of Nathan in Shokan, New York who pledged $31/month for 12 months for a gift of $372, an anonymous donor in Kailua Kona, Hawaii who gave $500, Rochester in Willow Springs, Missouri and Reese in Henrico, Virginia – both of whom pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600 each, Vivia in Florida City, Florida who gave $1,000, and Phillip and Christine in Belton, Texas who gave $10,000! Those 32 donors gave $15,977.47.  Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (sound effect of drum roll) $80,138 (audience cheering) We just need to raise $3,862 to cross the finish line! Wow!  We are so close!  Toward our $84,000 goal, we are just $3,862 short. Can you help us cross the finish line?  We need to find just 1 person to pledge $100 per month for 12 months, 2 people to pledge $50 per month for 12 months, and 4 people to pledge $25/month for 12 months.
