 That first Q&A since becoming presumptive nominee only lasted about one minute. Donald Trump is saying he deserves bonus points for going about 60 times that long with yesterday's one hour long presser.  She's not doing any news conference. You know why she's not doing it? Because she can't do a news conference. She doesn't know how to do a news conference. She's not smart enough to do a news conference. And I'm sorry, we need smart people to lead this country. Harris has already been vice president for more than three years, but the campaign thinks she needs to be reintroduced to the electorate with slickly produced, scripted advertisements as opposed to anything unscripted or off the cuff.  Harris will be in Arizona this evening while Trump campaigns in Montana for Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy. The economy is typically an election you're concerned. Fox Business' Larry Kudlow talked about Kamala Harris and the economy.  I mean, she hasn't really said anything. So she was Joe Biden's co-pilot. I don't hear the term Bidenomics anymore. I don't know whether there's a Kamalanomics or not. She has a pretty strong liberal left progressive background, doesn't she? And she's already blaming business for inflation.  He also addressed the current state of our economy. It's weakening. Look, if you go back to the drop in ISM manufacturing, which was last Thursday, then you had very poor, rising unemployment rates on Friday. So the stock market is still down. I guess the Dow is down 1,400 points net-net. And I think you're on the front end of a recession.  The remnant of Debbie affects the Northeast. Here's Fox Weather's Katie Byrne.  Here in Harrisburg, it's the wind that's done the most damage so far. Dozens of trees came crashing down in Harrisburg's Bellevue Park neighborhood. Matthew Crossan says he's lived here 35 years. He's never seen anything like it. I was in bed sleeping. I woke up and man, it was all up against my window and everything. I said, oh my God, what's going on? As Debbie keeps moving, parts of New York and New England will see significant rainfall that could cause dangerous flooding.  People often say we don't teach the Bible anymore in schools, and that's not entirely accurate. Here's AFN's Chris Woodward. Organizations, including the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools, have been instrumental in getting the Bible taught as an elective. Council President Elizabeth Ridenour talked about that on AFR's The Stand radio program. The Bible's now been implemented in over 4,200 public high schools in 42 states.  And it is an elective, and it's not an off-campus program. It's on campus, on the high school campus, during school hours, for credit, as an elective, just like any other class. Ridenour says public school students need the Bible. Eighty-eight percent of the students nationwide are educated still in the public school system, and we can't just abandon them. So our founding fathers have said,  never intended for the Bible to be removed from our public schools. There was a secular study done by the American Political Science Review on the political documents of the founding era, which was 1760 to 1805, and 94% of all the documents that went into the founding era were based on the Bible. And of that, 34% of the contents were direct quotations from the Bible. I'm Chris Woodward.  KERA News reports the State Fair of Texas will ban all firearms from fairgrounds and tighten security at fair entrances during the upcoming event officials announced yesterday. This is about a year after an alleged gunman opened fire on the fairgrounds and injured three people. According to the fair's website, since its establishment in 1886, the fair has promoted Texas agriculture, education, and community involvement through quality entertainment in a family-friendly environment. The State Fair of Texas opens September 27th. I'm Robert Thornton.  Remember, our phone number is... Oh wait, this is a re-air, so we won't be taking phone calls. Although you might hear calls that sound live, and they were when they were taken. But, well, you get the picture. The following is an Encore presentation on American Family Radio.  God has really blessed me. He let me work in D.C., let me work with EIB in Hollywood, in Silicon Valley, and He's shown me through all those experiences that there is one problem and one solution, and that's why we do this show. Welcome to A Disciple's View with Todd Herman.  When the God of the universe created the world, he didn't snap his fingers or wink his eye. The Lord spoke. He said, let there be light. Because we believe, we speak about the happenings in this world as we remain mindful that our true home is with Jesus Christ and his kingdom. I'm Todd Herman. Welcome to A Disciple's View. What do you think is the top news story for God?  Because, wow, we had that major switch out from figurehead Biden, who is a man who's allowed great evil to be done through himself, a man who is brutally dishonest, a man who wants to see kids perverted sexually and altered chemically, who is in favor of an open borders policy, which has allowed drug cartels to siege areas of major cities.  A guy who is cooperated and has cooperated with an attempt to flood the system with new bodies who count in the electoral college count by way of the census to change the complexion of Congress without virtue of vote or legitimacy. A guy who is funding both sides of a war between Hamas and Israel and in what many people think, including myself, a form of money laundering through pretending that Ukraine is the most important country and our most important ally ever.  Then they did the major switch to Kamala Harris, who believes all those things as well. That's a pretty major switch, right? Wow. That, I don't think, is the top news story to God. I guarantee you at no time did God go, wow, they pulled Biden. I didn't see that one coming. God knows how everything ends and begins. He is the beginning and the ending, though he never ends and never began.  So what do you think is the top news story? Could I suggest to you that one of the top news stories of God, and we can't think like God. We can read his word. We can consult it. We can pray. We can allow the Holy Spirit to take over our lives to the degree that our pride will allow that to happen. So we can't really say what's God thinking at this moment. But can I suggest to you one topic that might be on his mind? There's a lot of kids without my word in their hand. Think of that.  If you were God, and none of us are, or anywhere near it, wouldn't that be a top story? I want to ask you a question. When did you get your first Bible? For a lot of you, it's probably at birth. You had it since birth, or there's a family Bible that's handed down. I'll tell you on the West Coast, and I do this show from the high mountains of free America in Idaho. It's a little different here. Now, Idaho, North Idaho is a pretty religious place. And religion is not abiding with the Lord. It's those not really separate things, but it's not the same thing.  But there's a lot of people here who get Bibles on specific dates, 16th birthday, or they're born with them, or there's family Bibles. But on the West Coast proper, that doesn't happen. Almost completely. There's kids that grow up without Bibles at all. They'll never hold one. And I mean never.  So I got my first Bible that I bought myself. I mean, people handed them to me and I picked one up here or there from a friend. But when I purposely went out to purchase one, I want to tell you at the end of the show what that was like. I'll give you a heads up. It was the Oxford Annotated Bible. I still love that Bible. But I'll tell you, I walked down the street having purchased it and I felt like I had a beautiful weapon in my hand. A weapon of peace and of love and of knowledge. And I've never felt that again in that same way.  So I cherished that Bible for a long time. I studied it. And then I took a break from God. I needed a break. It was a stupid, stupid idea. And that Bible came back. And I cannot believe the book of the Bible that God had me read at the scariest, most soul-rendering, just crushing moment of my life.  I'll share that with you. But you think with me, will you, about when you got your first Bible. The reason I mention this is we are very, very close to wrapping up the campaign for Truth for Youth. Please do not let this moment go by without taking an opportunity to make sure that you put a Bible in the hands of some kids, 13 to 18, who make a pledge.  They pledge to take that Bible and hand it to a friend. That's how you convince kids. Friend-to-friend contact. Please don't let this moment pass by. I'm asking you to do this. Go to tfy.org and give money. These guys buy 50,000 Bibles at a time. They get an incredible price point on them. Nothing we could ever touch. If it's easier for you to call and make sure that these kids get these Bibles in their hands, please do. 844-530-8890. It's the Truth For Youth campaign. I'm asking you to get involved, please.  There is, of course, the worldly news, and that's part of our job here. You know, we have an audience of one that's God Almighty, a family of many, and that's you. And part of our job is to talk about the things that the Mockingbird media simply will not report. For instance, this.  The Georgia State Election Board is going to discuss SCB 2023-025 this morning. This is an election integrity act, and there are people who have not given up trying to get election integrity out of the state of Georgia, and I don't think it exists. 17,852 votes counted with no ballot images.  Huh, that's interesting. You counted the votes, but you didn't save the images. 20,713 original votes from tabulators out of thin air. So those are votes with no ballots. 20,000 of them, nearly 21,000. 3,930 duplicate ballots counted and inserted via intentional human intervention. This comes from Liz Harrington, a reporter who's been following this nonstop.  There is no possible way in my judgment to claim that the Georgia election was safe and secure. We do not have the evidence for that. And part of the design is to make sure we never have the evidence for this. When people hide and they steal and they act like this, they're not going to come out and admit it. Satan has never come back and apologized to mankind. He's sorry for fooling you about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He's not going to.  And people who steal elections or rig them, and there's a difference. I mean, rigging is an attempt to steal. Stealing is stealing. I know the election was rigged. I think it was stolen. And a lot of people think it was stolen. I debate anyone about it in a friendly way. The Democrats are taking some steps to further enable election fraud. The dictator of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer,  has decided to make it illegal. She signed a bill into law to make it illegal to ask for a vote recount if the contention is vote fraud. If that's your contention, nope, no recount. Why would you do that? Because you want vote fraud to go through. Mike Murphy is a guy who is a politician right next door to Gretchen Whitmer, just near Gretchen Whitmer in Minnesota.  And he ran against Tim Walz. So you could say, okay, sore loser. Okay, fair enough. You could say that. You could make that charge.  But he ran against Tim Walz and they put together a what they call a highlight reel of Tim Walz's failures. I've just signed executive order 20-01 declaring a peacetime state of emergency for the state of Minnesota. We need to stop congregating. We're going to close the bars. We're going to close the restaurants. We're going to close the places where we gather. Several hundred thousand of your neighbors were just laid off.  An entire industry has been shut down in the face of this, all for the greater good.  The governor, with the power of the state constitution behind him, has issued 104 executive orders affecting everything from schools to restaurants and bars to churches to basically every facet of everyday life. Democrats who control the House are moving in the opposite direction. Some are pushing to put a mask mandate in state law. Hi-ho the derry-o, I wear a mask to school.  That's just a bit of the highlight reel. There's also the fact that he has put tampons in boys' bathrooms from ages 4 through 12 with a clear effort to distort them, distract them, confuse them about who they are and God's design for them. He's welcomed illegal immigrants. He's allowed a mini Somalia to grow. He allowed the Black Lives Matter incorporated protests. He is a man who stands in every way possible adverse to God. And I've been called out a couple different times.  for being non-biblical myself. So I'm going to address that. I read a beautiful email yesterday from a gentleman who does not like me saying Kami Harris. I addressed it. I offered a defense. And then I got this from Jamie. Today I listened to Disciples View show and another listener addressed the same issue I mentioned to Station AFR about the casual flippant disrespect Todd shows for VP Kamala Harris.  Mr. Scott wrote in and Mr. Herman was gracious enough to read the email and then casually justified this disrespect. I think somewhere the Holy Bible implies that even when we disagree with those of our authority, we're due to add certain respect until they violate the order and principles of God. Democrats as well as Republicans do this often.  I listen to other AFR at various times of the day and regularly listen to the Disciples' View with Todd Herman. While I don't critique the station very much, I take issue with Mr. Herman constantly referring to VP Kamala Harris as Cammy. With all due respect, I don't think the station or Mr. Herman refers to former President Donald Trump as Donnie or Michelle Bachman as Mickey. He constantly, constantly calls her out, you give a name, which is really disrespectful, and the station has no objection. Respect is due to all persons regardless of their political affiliation.  This is a great note. And so here's the new policy. I will do this. I will refer to Kamala Harris as figurehead Harris. I am describing a reality. She is not going to be a legitimate Democratic candidate for president because she was never voted in. That was the super donors, super delegates who did that.  She was placed and shoved down the throat of Democrat grassroots supporters. Secondly, she is not going to go be president. Joe Biden isn't running the country that's self-evident. Figurehead Harris will not be running the country either. So for the time being, I'll refer to her as figurehead Kamala Harris.  So people can get used to that. But I believe that's an honest assessment. I can't call Joe Biden President Biden because he's not president. He is a figurehead. And I will not lie on behalf of politeness. It is not respectful, not following God's word to lie. So Jamie and Mr. Scott, you win. You win. I'll stop calling her Cammie as of today. And it will be figurehead Kamala Harris. Thank you for keeping me honest.  Political debate in and around Minnesota is not particularly godly. This is a disgraced step representative, John Thompson, who went into a neighborhood in Minnesota. I'll tell you how this relates to Tim Waltz directly in just a second. Here's what John Thompson said in this neighborhood in Minnesota. And surprise, we've had to bleep some of it. I'm a black man being terrorized by this...  We are terrorized by the grand wizard. Y'all got the grand wizard living in your neighborhood. All the clan exists in Hugo, Minnesota. And it's right here. Don't run now. Don't run now, racist white people. I'm here. Oh, yeah, we pull up. We pull the up. I'm right here. Come on over here with your blue lines medicine. Blue lines medicine.  Apparently Tim Walz endorsed him to be state representative. So shall I call Tim Walz a governor? I don't do this with governors who showed themselves to be dictators, Republican or Democrat.  People who seized power with COVID flu as the coverage, they weren't governors. They took on the role of dictators. None of them had to. And then, of course, this in the Minnesota that is Tim Walz's Minnesota.  This is another representative, State Rep. Sandra Feist. I would encourage the committee to vote no on this amendment for a few reasons. Practical, financial, social, emotional. First, there are a lot of schools that are moving towards gender-neutral bathrooms. And if we add female, we might become obsolete very quickly. Second, not all students who menstruate are female. Not all students who have periods who menstruate are female.  Now, I'm not going to lie. And this note from Jamie is spot on. Unless they violate God's word, we're to respect them. God made us male and female in his image. God is a God of order, not disorder. And I think to call Kamala Harris anything other than figurehead Harris is dishonest. And I believe calling Tim Walz governor is also dishonest.  He is not governing. He's bossing. He's dictating. We'll come back with a dear friend of mine, Katie Faust, president and founder of Them Before Us, Them Being Kids, Us Being Us, on pro-child politics. That next on The Disciples View.  This is Viewpoints with Kirby Anderson.  Most Christians do not have a biblical worldview. That has been well documented in numerous studies. This is puzzling since a significant percentage of Christians without a biblical worldview regularly attend church services. A recent study by George Barna may have an answer. Put simply, church members don't have a biblical worldview because the pastor does not have a biblical worldview. Less than a third of pastors in America have a biblical worldview, and that is a shocking percentage.  Now, one pastor told George Barna, that may not be too shocking considering that many pastors of liberal churches do not have an Orthodox view. But he went on to say that what would be shocking is if the percentages were low among evangelical pastors. The most recent poll shows that a bare majority of evangelical pastors and only about a third of charismatic or Pentecostal pastors have a biblical worldview.  Another interesting correlation was the relationship between worldview and church size. Generally, the smaller congregations are much more likely than those of larger congregations to have a biblical worldview. More than 4 in 10 of pastors of churches with smaller congregations have a biblical worldview. By contrast, only 15% of pastors in churches with more than 250 adults have a biblical worldview.  Church Barn explained that pastors who fill the position of teaching pastor or executive pastor usually have the lowest scores. These positions are found most often in larger churches. His survey breaks down pastors according to denomination, according to church size, and according to congregational ethnicity. None of the percentages are encouraging and a reminder that we need to be discerning when choosing a church. I'm Kirby Anderson, and that's my point of view.

I was one of the most prominent drug dealers in my school.  One of the girls came up to me one day and gave me a Truth for Youth Bible. She told me to read it. I immediately started cussing her out. That day at lunch, I started reading some of the comics in the front, and I noticed that one of the drug dealers in the front was a lot like me. I realized that I needed help, and God was the only way I was going to get that. I went and found the girl. I asked her to teach me how to pray, and she did, and she forgave me. And then I asked Jesus to forgive me.  Over the last 20 years, more than a million Truth For Youth Bibles have been given to youth all over America, and this year we want to add at least 60,000 to that total. It's available in English and Spanish, and every student between the ages of 13 and 18 can get one free if they promise to give it to a friend at school. Call 844-530-8890.

My friend Katie Faust, we got to know back in the day when our kids went to the same Christian school. And she's evolved from a blogger to someone who had a career as an activist blogger. And she's now on her third book, published book. And God has just blessed her work. She's also founded a group called Them Before Us. She's the president and founder of that group.  And she has spoken at the UN and at massive events, government events. She's been across the continent speaking about the need for adults to put aside their own desires and to instead put children first.  She's written a new book on pro-child policies that features some of the biggest and I think best thinkers in conservative politics and faith. She absolutely comes at this from a faith background. She is, in fact, the wife of a pastor who has later in life decided to reenlist in the Navy, believe it or not. So often you'll find Katie on a Navy ship, on a, I believe it's a hospital ship. Her husband's a chaplain in aircraft care, I think it is.  So Katie Faust, join me on my podcast. You can watch this interview. I do encourage you to watch it. It's two friends chatting. Here's a risk-free way to do that. You get a seven-day free trial to our video service. That's video.thetoddhermanshow.com. This is part of my conversation with Katie Faust. So Katie Faust, what make up pro-child politics? How do we take action on this? And what can we go do?  We took 19 of the most evergreen political issues, the things that are always going to come up at every single election. And we said, if we frame this in terms of what was best for children, what would policy look like? And so we've got all the social issues. We've got the economic issues. We even got the national security people to come in here. You've got the three different legs of the conservative stool represented here. And we brought them all together because when you actually craft policy based on the next generation, you get...  principled conservatism. So the book sort of functions as a primer, like 3000 words on ESG. If you don't know what that is and how to think about it, here's 3000 words from Justin Danoff, who helped Vivek Ramaswamy start his company, Strive, telling you there's  This is what ESG is. This is how it damages kids. This is actually what we would look like if we wanted to create an equitable and just and sustainable society for kids, right? I mean, so you've got this, in essence, political lesson on all these different topics from the top experts, but they all frame them through the lens of  If we prioritized kids, what would our policies look like? But they also all begin with the real life story of a child who was victimized because we believed leftist lies. And so this book does what very few other conservative materials do, which is identify the victim as kids and then humanize the child. I mean, we've always had the best statistics and the best research. The left does a good job of humanizing their victims and making you empathize and sympathize with them. So I'm not going to let them do that anymore. Right.  I love the real life stories of kids who are victimized because we got immigration policy wrong, because we got foreign policy wrong, because we got education wrong, because we got masculinity wrong. We got race wrong. Like, what is it like when we believe leftist lies about pornography? We're going to show you the kids that are victimized, their mind, body, soul, heart, future lost.  because we are not thinking rightly about these issues. So that's what it is. It's a way to think properly about politics, all political issues, if you're looking at it through the lens of child protection.  And child protection started with a family. The first one started in Genesis. And so we also have this model. And I know you to be a godly woman. And this model has to, of course, take God's word into this. So let me take a tough one. OK, because I think the pornography on this podcast family, this radio show family, they know that I looked at my last porn decades ago.  And I'll never look at it again, praise God. And they know my position on this. I think Pornhub is a criminal enterprise that should be just, it should be Rico'd out of business. I think that they encourage child rape. That's my opinion. So, but let's take just national security. That's an interesting one because I'm thinking about this. If I were looking at national security through a child's eyes, how might I look at that, Katie?  Well, Dan Caldwell, who is a veteran in this space, wrote our 3000 words on national security and he identifies. So what I made every author do is begin with the story of a real life child who was victimized and then identify what are the lies about national security that you hear all the time? And then how do those lies harm kids? So what are some of the lies that Dan pointed out?  Well, first that we have to be the world's policemen, right? And like, what is it like when we think, oh, we've got to go out and solve every single problem. We have to like build every school in Afghanistan. Like how does that mentality around national security victimize kids? So that's one lie that he points out. Another lie is we need to be total isolationists. We should never engage in what's happening in the rest of the world.  And then he identifies that kind of faulty mentality and how that victimizes kids. And both of them really weaken our ability to defend ourselves against the very serious foreign threats that are not just present, but growing against us. And then he identifies what is the truth about foreign policy that you need to keep in mind? And in summary, he says realism and restraint.  Be realistic about the threats coming against America and have restraint so that you can fight the battles that you really need to very, very well. And if we did that,  How would children benefit? What would child protection look like if we actually did that national security priority exactly as it should be done? And then I made every author wrap up their chapter with, show me who's done this well. Where, what bodies, local, foreign, national, what have they done to show how these policies implemented actually are effective?  And so he lists some ways that we could overhaul our national security system and rubric to move in a direction where the next generation is going to be better protected. So we did that on every subject. It is so easy to digest and understand. And you are getting high quality content from people that know these subjects inside and out.  Give me your favorite story. You're a great storyteller. I've seen you online have people who grew up with single parents or same-sex attracted parents, and you've solicited from them their stories, and it's been very, very persuasive. So if you were to pick one from a book or one that can really just bring this across, share with us one.  I made all of the authors find a real-life child who was harmed because we got this wrong. I had a lot to learn about a lot of these topics. One of them was ESG and DEI. And so Justin Danoff started off with the story of a little girl in Sri Lanka who went from a pretty stable middle-class family to virtually starving because the ESG and DEI regimes were imposed upon Sri Lanka in the name of saving the planet.
