You know when they are yeah you're good to go when I started having kids and getting busy you like would let me drift away you'd be like I'm here and we need to do lunch I'm good at relationships I try to be as hard to be are you are you and so is Jennifer bishop who I've known for 19 years Jennifer and I met when I was introducing her and her husband at the time who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease and he was my age and I was kind of taken aback that he had Lou Gehrig's disease because they had a toddler and I'm like well how do you get Lou Gehrig's disease when you're like 30 you know and so I had to meet them get to know them and introduce them and then she was at my wedding and we just became the best of friends and I'm so blessed to have wonderful caring kind of ministry oriented people in my life but also as part of the good news team page and yet it's so good to be here and it's your birthday it is not a. Fake 30 I heard you are just isn't there a reason that I've heard every word a person you know it's interesting because I might get 600 birthday wishes on my Facebook page it makes me giggle but the cool thing about it is that people you haven't heard from in a really long time you know message something and oddly enough when my dad passed away I heard from a lot of people I hadn't heard from in a long time and it was neat to rekindle old friendships from maybe like my childhood or people reaching out that you had a history with and I thought that was kind of neat to be comforted by people even if it was from a 1000 miles away on social media you're kind of like a church yes you are you have to do it so here's your ministry Here's how that works you know in a way that you're like a church is you know churches are draws attention from the Christers you know the Christmas and Easter folk I'm so every year writes and I go to the church you get people go oh you have got to change your DNS page. I have a whole different perspective on birthdays because you know when you live with somebody that was diagnosed with a terminal illness and like people you know that's a gift it's a gift it's right. They cause I many people and just change I never thought that before I agree with God that I don't mind getting older that's not why I'm not a birthday present Yeah I think because I had such a difficult childhood and I was so much in a survival mode in my life prior to becoming an adult that I'm not very narcissistic you might be like Well I think you kind of are No I actually don't I'm not very self important when I was in l.a. On t.v. Or San Diego or whatever I never thought I was the best or the most important I always so i guess because of that it may be having a difficult childhood maybe didn't feel important or loved by people who sort of love me I never developed like a big ego I don't think and so I kind of don't think I'm a very big deal for people to celebrate and that had probably has a plus and a minus that maybe I don't value myself enough but then again I'm not full of myself as an adult you need to leave Yeah. I did a while but I you know what I want to do will discuss my psyche and my my apparent moderate self worth from us you know but I but I'm but I'm not it's hard to explain but I care more about sharing good news and making other people happy one of the biggest joys in my career was when people would say you made my morning brighter you made me smile you're my morning puff a cup of coffee you put the sprinkles on my cupcake your the sparkle in my day the glitter glue that was like really a compliment to me you're my glitter glue of the day the so Ernie MacArthur is joining us he's going to be our glitter glue of that era sparkle in the day he is the cofounder of this school is our school hire any I know you so you know whether I am surgery amazing stories so great to hear such a positive outlook on life from some you know in some really similar attributes there where your personality kind of doesn't allow you to truly get from you all of the greenness you know that you carry that you're kind of you're in a humble state and I can certainly relate to that some of my history and Nancy. Schools our school you know it's interesting that Columbine kind of prompted you because one of our frequent guests you know with very connected to Columbine and taught one of the shooters she had him in are talented and gifted class for many years and she had a heart attack that day Michelle Ron and she's not here today I wish she was because I saw in your interviews that Columbine prompted you to make the school I mean to go to co-found this school is our school so with that said Ernie I want you to give us a little bit about your background and then tell us about this school is our school and what your mission is so what's your floor for a couple of minutes here while you guys so soon thank you very much and again just really really blessed and and so honored to be able to be here today we see you all . If you don't call it mine comes up again because it was 999 and I was in Africa working on some military slash intelligence operations there and when the event occurred and when I got back into America I started to make plans on how to address this this problem in just listed say we want to prevent event and strangely enough back then my my perception was that we must harden schools we must put guns in schools we have to build walls higher fences bulletproof glass more police more this put army as we need to put military put them there and then over time I've grown and I've come to learn many many different things about the bigger picture and that we're not going to solve these or prevent these these school shootings unless we approach it from the source and the source is not on the campus and the campus we consider that to be sort of like the 1st and last line of defense . How can you defend it from where you where you are how can how can your 1st line be the actual facility and we talk about that in some of our video footage but it's just it's important for us and one of the going out to the furthest reaches that we can reaching out to the community is where the prevention begins so we're still not there. On door to door meeting with people in businesses and explain to them what's been happening and how they can play a critical role a crucial role in preventing school shootings simply by talking to one another and truly pulling the students out of the equation so that they can just go be students enjoy things can be concerned about girlfriend boyfriend studying what cause I'm going to and who gets the football or recess rather than who's going to stab me or shoot me in my school today or is it going to happen today and live in the status of fear. So that's what our focus was so I've done it like 180 degree turn from hardening the facility in a military mindset to more of a community effort so that it doesn't reach the campus so that the desire to go and conduct this type of this type of violence is stopped at the community and we pay attention to mental health and we pay attention as adults into how we're going to change this culture of accepting these advances the way times long now and back it up to worry no it's supposed to be where it's a peaceful. Exciting time in life and it's not all what you see in the media what you hear in the politicians are if you're just joining us true we do have a great country here we do have a great country Ernie for joining us Ernie MacArthur's talking about co-founding this school is our school so Ernie you have a military background initially you thought after Columbine we need to turn these schools into military bases if the guns and higher fences and more barbed wire and then you changed your perspective and decided that we should go at it a different way so explain to us what is that different way that doesn't turn the schools into fortresses because as a side note I was recently at school for parent teacher conferences I got to talk to all 8 of my kids' teachers and I said hey in our school district safe a high school student had a gun in school a parent called and they got the gun and we've had you know several shootings in Colorado and high schools I said do you think we should have metal detectors at the front door and every single teacher I talked to that night said no that they already feel like it's enough of a fortress and they don't want to go any more institutionalized so what is your what is your change in perspective what's your approach now. And so most of us to report question because if you know what happens is if the person wants to shoot people on the campus and they are detected by a metal detector it's too late you see one once you reach that process or 3 to reach that point in the process of coming in doing so assault it's too late already so someone is compromised the for a school resource officer or a teacher or student says he took a gun or a 9 for whatever the weapon might be just too late now because now it's compromised and they're going to start doing what the can there to do. Most probably most probably did since it's comes with the with the nature of the planning and execution of this type of an attack. As are we do we push our security push our our attention to the area of interest and we call that a community and that's within a school district and that's the police as we go through clothes shopping areas restaurants and then using concert special places where students may be present and. They want to see where we go door to door summaries are you. So you know we have we have attention and we know how to detect potential trouble like maybe trouble children or or someone who's been talking about things in school and then we shared we're talking about in the in the household in the community so one child goes on and says that he had hers over something in school kind of concerned about it and this is sort of a clue hence so the adults should take this over now and say you don't worry Thank you that's very good thank you very much go play well go study and then you find what your next step is going to be are you able to go for hours down at the next block and not convert or do you know how to do that you know what type of person is going to be encountering this a violent person as a. Educator household What is it really addressing who are going to be addressing and it just seems to be like it's not it's not trying to for you when of course you follow the alternate routes for you would go and 'd inform law enforcement sometimes we recommend to keep it at a lower level because we don't need to draw attention by having police car show up at someone's home when this might be something going to be handled at a smaller more intimate level so I mean it just generally you know you're saying like if someone hears something at school like we have something here in our school district called safe to tell and it's on all the lockers and any time a kid has any kind of concern whether we bowl or bullying or drug use survey being in the bathrooms or if they know someone has something in our backpack they shouldn't that they call the safe to tell line it's completely anonymous blah blah blah So you're saying when a kid passes on this information that they have a concern not to respond necessarily at the if possible with the police at the police level but we respond more like a at a community level legs Anybody else want to break it down of what they're hearing early this is. I have a unique perspective in this conversation since that. I buried Dave Sanders I didn't do the actual funeral but I was there with him a good friend Dave Sanders from Columbine the coach for those who are listening in who got shot and during that time 6 months prior I was working on a school assembly called the respect responsibility show that was scheduled to launch 2 weeks after Columbine and then when Columbine happened of course everything changed. That as the perspective and I've been in I been assisting in 28 school shootings across the country since that time and I agree with you that there is the need to involve the community and the. You know the use the resources that go beyond the school I agree with you at the metal detector things are probably escalating a little too quickly. How do you go out and it is so you get somebody tells the story that you just described and then you go to the business 3 and 3 blocks down or 3 doors down and talk to them what do you say how do you deal with that what's the answer rather than just talking about this happened. It's just specific to each type of community and these are done on a risk assessment basis and it's it's done on a large scale so we don't say that there's one size fits all to get the you get the information you have to be adults and so we need to be caring adults who need to be involved adults adults as you know you've seen this happen I talked with you know the I've talked to a parent of the to the victims and 'd called by his daughter and son or son was traumatized the daughter was actually physically 'd injured spoke with him this past week about this approach and he was so into it because this $3000000000.00 industry in this the start up with school safety and now has become something of a business rather than. A solution so when we go to say we're going to approach the bill and say hey we know this about this this kid this this and what what are your feelings about this is this imminent if you feel it's an imminent if you can tell between a case of there that is this kid got planning going on then you know you're going to raise it so you build a consensus planning if they elevate it in education like educating maybe the people that you're talking to and that's what we do where exactly we might be to a situation. Exactly so it's a situational awareness because how do we going to find you know find out a reasonably quickly what level of this process are we looking at now is this something that the kid just spouted out randomly you know is this something that we want to get in touch with the f.b.i. With way to way we want to go with this because sometimes things are made worse it's a dangerous slope because if you don't contact the proper authorities and something does happen your life you end up a liability not just lead billeted but horrible grief for the rest. Your wife. So you know I think the other thing that the part of this that you mentioned earlier that I think is the biggest part of the whole concert kind of conversation and that is the focus on mental health and understanding I take the perspective that a lot of the stuff that doesn't happen at the school happens at home and so the parents are the 1st responders if you will and you are just heard having to do with the mental you know being able to put your fingers on the pulse of the child to say hey there's something wrong but of course we're we we don't like to admit that right and so. It's easy to let them bury their heads and their devices and to also be lazy when you come home from work and you're tired we started something new at our house because I did start to see people burying their heads in their devices and I'm like Ok I have to stop this now and so we have a new and I'm not very regimented you know you guys know we have to send my hands. Home they have a snack and I start to prepare dinner at 5 o'clock the alarm goes off and they all do homework at 6 o'clock if my husband's home we eat then and then at 7 o'clock the alarm goes off again and we start the family work out which is hilarious in the living room. My husband does some really bad dance moves while he's doing a workout but he did the workout and all the kids follow and we have weights and we have bands and we do mostly you know lifting but we're laughing and talking with each other and last night we're done I said isn't this so much better than being on a device that's more fun to bond as a family then they got 15 minutes on their devices and we're still working through this but 15 minutes is enough Not 4 hours and I'm sure you've seen the kids are spending many hours and he's devices and there's a whole nother conversation with that but Ernie we don't have a ton of time left so what are you doing right now we've got about 2 minutes left what are you doing right now are you traveling the country are you educating are you putting this in place in different schools. Yes So I just wondered through quickly one week I want to make sure that there's a communication and so a lot about communication I may have not communicated very well or perfectly what the concept is with adults handling it a certain level and of course there is a need to contact the proper authorities what are you communicating is happening between the adult and the authorities that communication has to be very specific in other words you can also make recommendations and this is what I heard was kind of vague you know maybe we can do this on another an on sort of a level where we're not raising flags all over the neighborhood and terrify people and you know to that effect to have a discussion and communicate well with the authorities so that's not talking about at the at the community level not that we're making decisions on whether or not. Somebody should be brought in with with the lights flashing on and making all this happen but the communication should be very clear between the community the actors and the authorities and everybody contacting the police every time we heard their children say something was a little bit off about school or the students they would be going to him saying well I want to make sure any before we've got a time or any MacArthur co-founder of this school is our school give us your Web site so people can find out more about what you're doing yes so we are P.S.I.'s that's the abbreviation acronym for the school is our school but orgy. So here we are in term States now everybody with a pulse and it's the 4th concert 2 years ago and last year we got. The permanent thing put through with the. Launch. Numbers across from the. New The earning MacArthur co-founder of this school is our school will be right back thanks Thanks Ernie thank you thank you a little shopping cart for the shop into the car lol ark. Hello back again this is producer Dave I'm here for the next installment in our new feature I guess it's our book series I have this line into a bunch of different p.r. People that have all these amazing books and all these other things that normally we wouldn't be able to share here on the good news but because Angie is kind of give me permission to search some of these books down and search some. The authors down and get some really good in-depth interviews. I'm doing that I'm doing as much as I can I love authors I love writing and I love all these different books and I think these books are going to be very very interesting to all of you our listeners so today is not going to be any different today as we were talking to a very exceptional author Dr Randy Clark he wrote a book called eye witness to miracles watching the Gospel come to life what Dr Clarke has done is he has We're going to get into this but he's had an opportunity to go around the world and document and eye witness actual real miracles and he's here to explain to us what that means how he came to do this and what it means for all of us today hello good afternoon Dr Clark. Thank you. Thank you for being on the show we really appreciate it and we think this book is really really interesting you say in your book that you've I witnessed what hundreds of thousands of miracles or something like hundreds of miracles and I'm just want to know if you could clarify that a little bit for me because we like to think of some things as miracles some things as not miracles and so I wonder if you could kind of differentiate that. Yeah I used the move begin to understand a miracle that which to do so I would not of happened short of prayer and the time . Even if there is a naturalistic explanation that it could have happened the fact that it happened when the prayer came within just minutes of that. Indicates that God got involved and what would not have happened nor moment. Had Now happened for example in the book I tell about people who are blind lame and there and even the dead being raised that I personally have met people who were raised with high energy their families interviews with people in the village. Not for our. Team of Christ as a result. And so the subtitle watching the Gospel come to live. On the t.v. Show it's supernatural Sid Roth when he learned 1st time you went there he said to have videos of these stories are you know it I built it I don't have the right kind of the equipment and I was explaining to him with Harry Potter to give the capsule because we have a 100 people on your team. The guy with the camera being at the right place of those 100 we would that want to see the miracle at that moment it's hard but he's right that you are who are not the camera with you so as a result of that bought a camera and started really trying to capture the testimony that we were hearing on the field. You know. For example. We also started. Something else to help their sidling organization called Global Medical Research Institute that will end by ph the in the medical field and and in the sciences and people who are teaching in Central University that we. Formed this organization to study and prayer. And miracle. I consider 3 people right where they were both all 3 told that within a week they want to have the 1st cut off the right to offload the media in another one would like to get and as a result of prayer every one of them did not have to have the amputation because one of my cancer in the bone another one had gained green. On $1.00 in the shin bone and one in the on the heel and it come all the way across some pollo because the doctor said for that you have to cut off and then there's a word of knowledge boards and she got the. Focus and one of the things we've talked about in the book where the guy didn't have an optic nerve and we knew that yoga one of our leads when my spiritual son prayed for. In a man from Missouri with the other 4 different forms he got assigned another man going to Brazil had been blind 55 years with 18th of an inch thick scar tissue over both sides with this 5 year old woman on our team prayed for me for 5 hours and nothing happened we went to another city in the country as a church called Mrs Graves near Kona history of the city that 3 days later he was a lovely graduate was like during the 30 day morning with brain you eyes is no scar tissue Wow that we have unbelievable you know that I mean it's I'm. Level these some of these stories it's I mean they sound like miracles for sure and it's amazing that the prayer actually have a personal testimony mice my son was diagnosed with cancer last year and as a result I believe as a result of prayer his cancer was changed into something that was spreading into something that could just be removed and it happened within the span of a couple of days and I think that it's amazing and I think that without that prayer it would not have happened and I would think that you mention in your book Doc is that. You look good look at these miracles from both a spiritual believer point of view but also from a scientific point of view which I think is very interesting I wonder if you could clarify the little bit is videotaping a part of that process. Well. The 2nd part of this bill with the rock all the problems miracle. Today and how. The secular skepticism came in particular in the monument. With all of its ranks are now the unseen in the world basically like a machine and the laws of nature can be broken and I don't think God break the laws of nature actually in America I think you supersedes of the whole all we haven't discovered yet or so much we don't understand about how dogs. Let my study I did a doctoral dissertation on the effects of Christian prayer upon front came unlocked a range of motion from surgical and from the material and I studied 900 and some odd people on 5 continents planets and hardware doctors environment. Several major universities both the medical field and the specialty areas in religion by me and we've since been things since 2009 when it started with that there were 5000 people we think he went from not able to move and that's why I wanted to do it because the doctor one doctor from Harvard knows from Duke said you need something that could be real spontaneous remissions progress what doctors will say even though it's one out $50000.00 will have any value would be a spontaneous remission can we have a clip of anomaly we have so many Morgan Neill the man but e.s.r. Chose this particular subject because there aren't really no. Spontaneous remission with people event surgery and because of the surgery the chronic pain and have lost function and so again the settee Are there things that affect whether or not someone would be. Increase the probability of being given that variable so that's part. Of one chapter in the book looking at no one seems to make it more likely someone to hold someone great rate so this producer Dave this is our series on authors where we're talking to authors we're getting a real in-depth view of all the things that they're talking about in their books we like to get to the real meaty stuff and we today we're talking with Dr Randy Clark and I with a road the eyewitness to miracles watching the Gospel come to life and he's telling us about a little bit of some pretty incredible stories of of things that have happened through prayer and people being healed and all sorts of things happening and some of them he's I witnessed personally So Dr you you mention in the book that the idea of Americans is all kind of about of maybe a point of view and kind of sense people kind of sense the Enlightenment and people want to have a more rational point of view you know or what they think of as a more rational point of view towards the world that they don't see these things as Americans do you think that it's just because of a belief that really differing differentiates between what constitutes America and what doesn't. I think there is or you know that getting too deep in the woods or 2 would be McGrath but leaving argument is circular circular basically makes it impossible to prove a miracle because we are self and I deal with that and can also be on the book of power even though there is and has been the skeptics and there's a lot of space in our culture for miracle a even amongst the medical field rather high percentage of doctors who said that they didn't believe. In Miracles and so. Wanted to forward to have a both from the University of Indiana professors want to move the research scientists on the Bring me as a Harvard graduate p.h.d. And then they. Work with me in the sense that they've studied my ministry and she wrote a book on. The prayer about science and gave them the hard pressed so we do know that there are reasons why people are skeptical but we feel like those are invalid reasons and a lot of them would stand just the way that we've been taught to think and in categories that preclude miracle but. That's one of the reasons why the vote but it's not only the secular reason there are religious rules within Protestant we've had 500 years where major segments because of the past week were talking to them in a way that God as a human why these miracles don't happen more and so for me I think on the times the hardest place to be hearing is in the church because a wrong a big one church been taught against them believing for today because it's the theology that came into the process of information. And then in the latter part look I tried to Ok this is how we got to where we are asked with that skepticism and yet at the end of our getting in there are still. For people that are skeptical and and more outside and inside the church. Then I think well what's God doing to turn this back to or becoming a except a culture of belief in the supernatural Right right and you've mentioned in one of your chapters explaining away the miracles that even. People who aren't necessarily skeptics still have their verbiage that help kind of dismiss that these things are medical. Like kind of a joke where my friends and I we would see something someone pray and then there's this major radical reversal and we'll get excited thank you Lord and then sometimes others would say it was just a move homilies it was a spontaneous remission or or the other when it happened in the. Womb of the misdiagnosis the situation right. That's kind of sometimes the what you hear when the other thing was younger audience occurred. Right right again so they just instead of admitting that something incredible happened they like to say oh we must've just had it wrong in the 1st place that makes sense . Yeah great bone recently in Switzerland and she went in I think Gore got any part of the praying for him and she prayed that's not should never take me by the last footprint will have a fractured pelvis that would and then she competed in the hand she prayed 'd for the friend with the new ager and then she met the doctor the next day believe that you did and the doctors did go to the nurses with the wrong x. Ray They were a man of science with the possible. She said Well Dr that is the right x. Ray you've said that it isn't possible and so I do not believe the near so on which to do this actually over she did came back saying the result we could not even see would have been fractured and that the machine must be broken do it on another machine and finally when it came in the doctor looked at her didn't want to happen what you do then she said when I had a screenplay for me all the people meant it and now my pain was gone and the doctor who had been so skeptical said to her good you could you think the president. Really though he was a real skepticism over Mr Perry and because he saw the answer right right that's a great story now you also write in your book Doc that a lot of the people that go through some of these healing miracles they feel something like the touch of grace or something right what do you how do you explain that and you know do you know little bit about that and I don't know how to explain or explain it I know how to report it because I have experienced it myself I was almost feeling the constant to try and hang it up being called to ministry when radical change my line I would see that I would feel another time after 90 days of prayer and actually somebody's been here and then we can heal or cannot you know the time they will be so much pain but what they did not do is come back and check things out because kind of the all unsolved decision that we pray for me was a fluke that we were even married. And I'm going to find your love and in the morning even after 90 days the physical therapy to have a journal all taxes think you're going to. See. I would respond to that perhaps he saw me in a vision when the Lord showed him my spine system showed work to. Nurture big teams and stuff and scored it out and said push it back again he said acting out this vision in little church people crazy and I did not know that you can't get people cannot take a study for people affected in them and the conditions necessary but to people that would be conceivable but cannot explain was because I was asleep on an amp and I was not aware of the prayed for and when I woke up on seal on I could find out about it. With experience he had until 5 hours later. When another friend of mine a young man I actually trained in later he had a lot of knowledge from God it's somebody herniated disc on his neck which I had in mind for any movement and knew that in your birthday in February 1952 for that's my birthday and I prayed for it for a year and I got that morning right. I had experienced one of saying things about 50 percent of the time or the more people tell me that the of heat or 3rd have something it's a very bad infection they'll actually feel top of the would be a coma when the body or the electricity energy going through the body and will less than 50 percent maybe 30 to 40 percent of the time people are you and I don't believe they don't know who you're going to go back to about because sometimes their condition is they have to be edited down through write well that's pretty incredible. So I don't post for go ahead. And there wasn't one here in the Eastern Orthodox church in the us and over here called the energy. And they believe and I agree with that one with theory the disadvantage being sound meaning energy comes to make some sense no one in the later with on Will energy work so much so not as a political concept for home but it will also known Scripture doesn't want to go right well thank you so much for being on the show today Dr can you tell all of our listeners about where they can go get the book how they can contact you or any other information you'd like to put out there. Yeah you could get the book there and get a Kindle off our paperback or hardback and believe the most you Christian bookstores . Did it theory on ministry on the line at Global of like any dot com On one can go on trips and get the book you got about 40 books I've written on. A lot of different. Global away. Or. And just look for. All you can write in the choir and what I've written and find. Again Doc and now I hope we hope you all want to go get this book we hope that you can find something for me and really be able to witness real life miracles will be right back and we're going to.

Beef big time before we get to talk to my friend Josh White from the National Cattlemen's Beef Association in the sponsored interview and we're going to talk about beef and the program that make sure that beef is good quality and what it's all about I can't wait to talk about on the radio so I want to talk this morning about the beef quality assurance program it's a really important thing and so that's why we're talking to Josh White who leads the beef quality assurance program it's a national thing Josh welcome to the program Sir thanks for having me Michel I'm glad to hear you're cattlemen correct by by by trade by family by blood that's right I had got all 'd my life but my 1st ever when I was 12 years old I've been doing a long time I love hearing that it's just comforting to me to know that people who have a rich history of something are continuing it and it's probably both successful and something that you actually care about I bet be friends in your family blood that's right you have farming and and ranching and that's how most of our operations are although there are young farmers getting in and trying something new all the time but yeah a lot of multigenerational farms and ranches out across the country for sure we love that let's talk about that we beef quality assurance program what basically is this well to program that was started back in the late eighty's early ninety's just to you know to educate ourselves and so it was founded by farmers and ranchers bringing on veterinarian an animal nutritionist and others that had expertise to say you know what the best way we can write cattle that do yield a high quality delicious product for consumers and that's really the foundation of the whole deal I mean there's only certain things we can do to manage in quality for consumers and we want to make sure that we do all of that. Right well I understand then I appreciate that because when I when I go to buying meat meat can be a substantial investment as you know you want to make sure you get the best possible cut of meat and that it has been checked or raised by certified people how does a farmer or rancher get certified Yeah well there's a couple of ways we have a robot online module system and it appeared toward each segment of the industry so there are ranchers that run on the western land that have Kalak that have a cap each year and that we would call those Kalki have producers we have those models we also have models more toward a feed yard where those cattle are managed to do that high quality primer choice beef and you mentioned all the different cuts and making those selections you know because of what's for dinner ship website that had all the information about what cut how cattle are graded great recipes and even stuff about b.q. Way and how cattle are raised well I'm glad you brought up beef it's what's for dinner dot com because that is a place where people go to get more information beef it's what's for dinner dot com How do I know if I'm at the store that might be fizzy q.a. Certified Well we don't have on pack labeling typically Now there are Packers and brands by retail food service that have beat us sourcing requirement. I think the biggest the biggest thing to note they are that there's 85 percent or better chance that you are getting b. Q a you know meat is raised under b.q. I guidelines because that that's the coverage we have of the industry is more than 85 percent you know quite honestly the folks that are raising their own be you know have in their beef product that the local butcher shop or or buying a half of beef those kind of smaller interactions we don't really have insight into those are but you had certified in. But most of your what we would just say traditionally produced be you know cattle right under b. To a guideline that's good to know a meaning beef quality assurance that's what we're talking about with Josh White a 4th generation cattle producer and a guy who knows about the food for let's you get out of here Josh and we'll keep pushing people to be fits what for dinner what's for dinner dot com I have to know what your favorite cut of beef and you know it depends on my mood I do love a New York strip mid I'm going to have that out of the day.

Welcome to the public square from the American Policy Roundtable and we share with dates and we began talking about the Matthew Chapter 18 when Jesus picks up the child and says whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven he goes on of course you had to exegete this in a seminary class I understand one time the entire class this passage of Scripture so. For the entire semester and it was a tough grade you got graded on your presentation and had to be a written manuscript sermon that explained what exactly you thought this meant and boy the biggest mistake you could make was to moralize on it to moralize not demoralise but to moralize as opposed to explaining what the text actually said and then what it meant well believe it or not you could spend a whole semester on this passage alone it is so intriguing one of the questions that comes up very quickly as well who is the kid how old was the child now some traditions say it was one of Peter's children. Yet it appears that from the text for a certain it could have been male or female it appears it was probably a male child and it appears that the child was old enough that they could stand on their own but very quickly the scripture tells us that Jesus then sat down and put the child on his lap so it's a little kid not an infant not an r. Not a hand held baby if you will and not in arms but sitting on Jesus' lap and she says that unless you change and become like this child you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven well that he just mean English you act like a little kid I mean what did he actually mean unless you changed what did the kid actually do in that brief interchange that made him a good example when I can understand why it takes a whole class and probably till tomorrow for us to get to that answer will continue tomorrow here on the public square on line at the public square dot com And right here on the radio as well. This is news politics and commentary when you go something that didn't make a lot of news last week is something that passed in the House of Representatives and it passed unanimously I mean when you get all of the Democrats and all of the Republicans joining together to vote on something how you think that would be news right well here's what it was it was the preventing animal cruelty and Torture Act which is referred to as pact now this passed unanimously in the house and understandably so this is basically a bill that bans certain forms of extreme animal cruelty because believe it or not there is an industry out there in the black market of animal snuff films where you have people actually torturing animals crushing them filming this and then people get their sick jollies by looking at films like this so this is banned it's now made a felony I think everybody understands that that's perfectly right and appropriate and so Republicans Democrats all agreed on this that passed unanimously as it should. What I find so interesting about this though is that there's another type of cruelty another type of vicious pain inflicted that only Republicans are fighting to stop whereas Democrats are fighting to keep it legal and I'm not talking about cruelty to animals I'm talking about cruelty to babies that's right the Born Alive abortion survivor Protection Act That is another act that's been introduced in the House of Representatives by Republicans that's currently being blocked by Democrats now what this bill would say is if a baby survives an abortion attempt and that baby is now completely outside of the mother and that baby is alive and can live in is in need of medical care that the doctor is required to provide medical care in other words you can't just ignore the baby and leave that baby laying there crying and screaming in pain until eventually dies. You would think common sense would dictate that this would already be the law but believe it or not it's not and this is something that happens in real life all across this country where babies survive an abortion they're born they're laying there in pain and they're denied medical care that should not be legal so Republicans have been trying to get the Born Alive abortion survivor Protection Act voted on in the house you know what the problem is though the Democrats are blocking it as a matter of fact in 2019 in this year alone there have been over 80 attempts by Republicans to introduce this legislation in the House and in all 80 times it's been blocked by the Democrats because they control the House think about how sick and obscene that is and then we add to that the Senate same thing Republicans introducing this bill in the Senate but the Democrats are filibustering it now if we can all agree that it should be illegal to inflict cruelty to animals inflict pain on them if we can all agree on that can we seriously not agree that it should also be illegal to oh I don't know burn a baby alive you know how painful that is or to rip off their arms and legs when they can feel pain if that were done to any of these animals all sides would agree that that's got to be made illegal This can be done to human babies it can feel pain. And the Democrats are blocking and fighting it this is something that the American public needs to be made aware of. News politics and government there is a public affairs presentation of Crawford Broadcasting Company the stance of the station the views and opinions expressed not necessarily those of the proper broadcasting company its affiliates ownership. The Cranford stand as Dawn Crawford president of Crawford broadcasting company continues to discuss Hispanic and Latino voters 29 percent helped elect Donald Trump Mr Crawford says their good name has been tarnished by illegals that was so very regrettable for some decades ago legal American Hispanics enjoyed a strong and qualitative reputation which so many do today America seemed to become obsessed with illegal immigrants so much for getting those who were legal strong and good Americans it was in effable that sooner or later right thinking Hispanics and Latinos would rise up as they should and there came an organization known as the Hispanic Republican fund I've ever heard of that the a Spanish Republican fund this good organization was headed by one Alexandria Koren although one good and strong woman she and her good organization sought to represent and be spokespersons for what she described as a law abiding Hispanic American citizens they were losing voice and recognition mis Koren and I went on to state clearly that she was representing law abiding citizens and that Hispanic Republican fund was not representing illegal immigrants in short the mission of h.r. Effort was to educate and reach Hispanic Americans legal Hispanic Americans. And that she said was the fastest growing voting bloc in America and to reach them she said because these Hispanic American citizens were also one of the most conservative Let me repeat that these Hispanic American citizens were quote from Coron Otto also one of the most conservative these American citizens were hardworking they were possessed of a strong work ethic they knew that work real work was the key to the realization of the American dream and the pursuit of economic growth an opportunity that said Currin Otto was Republican not Democrat and then she went on to state the following Hispanic Americans were not born Democrats how about that Hispanic Americans were not born Democrats even though most vote Democrat in fact she said they were far more akin to and living and working by Republican principles she justified that by saying the following most Hispanic Americans are very conservative very conservative and then in fact they are Corrine Otto cited more facts to support the position Hispanic Americans have higher entrepreneurial rates than whites or blacks did you hear that Hispanic Americans have higher entrepreneurial rates than whites or blacks they become perhaps instinctively entrepreneurs' business men and women business owners as opportunity arises legal and tax paying which of course means says Cora I don't know that these law abiding Hispanic entrepreneurs know the killing and chilling effect of high rates of taxation. If Democrats not Republicans are elected and in power control taxes will be the highest they have ever been in America indeed a true economic stranglehold and will that ever affect Hispanics and Latinos tomorrow more evidence that Hispanic Americans are conservative bill McCormick.
