x. so our hearts go out, and we want them to know that we are here. right now our focus is [audio difficulty] we are are working with municipalities, the governor s office, the national guard, we re working with fema to make sure that we can set up shelters where we need to, we can get resources, food, water, comfort kits to them and also be that thread, be that neighbor to talk to. it s no shortage of the imagination that people have undergone something traumatic here. sometimes they need that spiritual care, someone to listen. we re going to be there for that through all of this. molly: yeah. of it s heartbreaking when we see these aerials shots of just how tremendous the damage is. enormous logistical challenges as well. one of the most difficult parts of this is there are still so many people missing. how can people continue to look for their loved ones if they have yet to be found at this time? i want to tell you about a
logistics concerns. but after some backlash, their decision has now been released. rachel: and joining us now are kirk cameron and riley gaines. welcome to you both, is so exciting to see you there with so many beautiful faces behind you. kirk, i mean, i read thissing, i m glad that the libraries are reversing course, but i m still fume ifing mad about it because every time you guys try and do this, and there are tons of moms and dads across the country who don t have the power of kirk cameron, you know, coming in, you want to doing something positive, constructive, wholesome, you have these librarians pushing back and saying, no, you can t do it as my place, as if they owned the library. that s right [audio difficulty] who are really the ones that are leading the charge at these libraries for faith and family and for freedom, and they re coming out by the hundreds and the thousands. we re here in helper sonville, tennessee, with about hendersonville, tennessee.
you to begin this tour that s going to amount to over, what, 350 libraries? that s right. riley and i will be going to i libraries in three states all today. i think that that samuel adams, our founding father, said it best. he said it does not take a majority to prevail, but rather, an irate, i tireless minority keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men. so today is all about hashtag brush fires of freedom and virtue and faith in the hearts of moms and dads which will lead us back to our blessing. that s my inspiration. pete: so encouraging. what kind of dangerous books will you be reading today to those kids and families?
