Yes, even that. Yep, that too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely that. Now, here's everything. everything that you want in a host, Eric Mad, Texas. Folks, welcome back to hour two on Monday, March the third. Today is March 4th. I'm sorry, tomorrow is March 4th.

March 4th is the only date in the calendar of 365 days that is a military command. He paused. March 4th. Oh, I like that, yeah. Did you guys not get that? Oh, gosh. That took a while. March 4th. It's a military command. That's tomorrow.

May the 5th be with you. Because 7-8-9. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'm here all week. It was why was, wait. Why was six afraid of seven? Yes, yes, that's it. Because 7-8-9.

Yeah, there it is. I wrote that, I love that. That's such a brilliant. I mean, as dumb as it is, it's brilliant. Why was six afraid of seven because seven, eight, nine. All right, folks, we're going to get serious here. We're talking about the news of the day. We have an amazing Miracle Monday story coming up. I want to talk, oh, by the way, the crews, I mentioned this the other day.

They have once again reserved some rooms. So if you called up, they said they want to put you on a waiting list. Go check it out now because they're temporarily available again. I don't know how long are they going to be there. go to Ericmetaxis.com slash cruise. Ericmataxis.com slash cruise. Very exciting. Okay, Elon Musk did three hours with Joe Rogan.

I watched about a minute of it. But Keith, you saw some of that? I, as usual, I watched the whole thing. And it was, as always, it was absolutely fascinating. I mean, these are two extremely influential men. I don't put Elon and Joe on the same plane. But I mean, when you look at how the media paints them, and both of them were darlings of the left for so long, right? They were beloved by the left.

And all they did was get a little bit of common sense. And they have now been thrust as the alt-right, which is absolutely hilarious. But I have to say, when you watch these long-form interviews, you realize these leaders, these men, these women that the media, you know, besmirches routinely. They're not at all the people that the media paints them to be. And Elon is actually, I know he's, I know there's a lot of strange things to ascribe to him. And I'm no fan of NeuroLink. I've got my concerns. But he's a very dear man. He's, he's brilliant. He thinks on the spot in such a way that's really, really compelling. I mean, he's a genius. They talked about Doge. They talked about going to Mars. They talked about AI. They talked about the assassinations. And he talked

about the fact that his life is in danger because of the things that he's doing. Well, he said there was a clip where you have Joe Rogan kind of pushing him to like, what else have you seen? Yes. And he did not say because he knows that when he says it, people, want to murder him. People will try to kill him. That's how dark it is. You're dealing with real evil. And I want to say this. I've said this about, I said this about JFK and RFK. Both of them were murdered by the deep state. They were going up against satanic entities against thrones and principalities. If you are not covered by the blood of the lamb, Jesus Christ, if you do not have people praying for you, you are dead. And that's why it's important that Elon Musk and Joe Rogan

and everybody else that we pray for them. We're in a great spiritual war. I put the same thing on X this morning that we are in a spiritual war. We need to pray for the president. We need to pray for Elon Musk. There are people who want them dead who would do anything for them to die, who would want cash patel to die there are people right now who would do anything to see cash patel dead to see pam bondi dead to see because they are they know what's coming and they don't like it and so elon musk rightly said that the other day he said i if i bring this stuff up i don't i don't know that i'm ready to share this stuff yet that's exactly right this is real so i want to say i also posted on X. We must pray for President Trump and all of the leadership around him because this is a spiritual

war. You're not going to a lot of people on political talk radio who are going to say this. This is a spiritual war. This is good versus evil. And you cannot win apart from God. I just want to be clear, folks. Good doesn't always win out over evil. You need God because evil is very powerful. And if you know how powerful evil is, you know that without God, you're dead. So you turn to God. And with God, all things are possible. It is possible to reelect Donald Trump with the popular vote. It is possible to win back freedom in America.

It is possible for us to drain the swamp. All these things are possible with God. And it's only the prayers of the saints, folks, the prayers of the people of God over the years, over the decades. that are making it possible for all these heroes to do what they're doing. I just want to be very spiritually clear about that. That's excellent. Yeah. And, and you know, Joe Rogan, the gospel has gone out from his little studio there numerous times.

He has been opened up to the gospel without a doubt. And yes, I pray the same for Elon. And you're right. He was very careful not to say everything that he has discovered. particularly with Doge. And he said, as soon as you turn somebody's money off, that's when it gets personal. And the amount of money that is flying through our government system right now, for example, he talked about the Treasury Payment System, that single system sends out about $5 trillion a year.

These are numbers we can't even get into our heads. But that's $1 billion an hour. And he said, the majority of those payments have no categorization. There's no budget code. There's no line item. It's not reconciled or posted against a, you know, a budgeted account. He said these are blank checks being sent all around the world constantly. And when you have that level of money going out, people would just assume have you dead.

It's, this is real. So we're in a spiritual battle. And, you know, speaking of spiritual battle, a lot of people have asked me, a lot of people come up to me and say that I have been a voice of encouragement to them. And of course, that thrills me to hear that because that's part of why I say what I say. I want to encourage people, not just to encourage them, but along the lines of truth. But I have been encouraged by a handful of people. I mentioned my friend Sean Foyt.

He's been an amazingly bold voice. He's been hanging out with Russell Brand recently. I guess they're friends. They're amazing things going on out there. But in terms of encouraging me in boldness, the number one person, we had him on the program, I guess was it a week ago, Mike Thompson. Mike Thompson, actually, I finally got a copy of the book in the mail.

He has two books out. The new one is The Lions Army with a forward by Eric Mataxis. Now, I hope you'll buy this book, and I hope you buy the book before this, Third Heaven Authority. but why? Because we need to be armed. We need to understand what does it mean to walk with God? And there are a lot of people saying, I'm a Christian, but we need to be disciplined. What does it mean to walk with a mature, seasoned faith in the God of the Scripture? And there are a lot of people who are Christians who don't know. And so I want to put forth voices and people whom I trust, whom I believe in, Mike Thompson is basically at the head of that list.

Dutch Sheets is another one. But Mike Thompson, whose new book is The Lions Army, and then the previous book is Third Heaven Authority. He is someone that I have been amazed at his, the clarity that you get from him. There's no religious smoke and mirrors from this guy, folks. He's just the real deal. And Keith, you and I over the years have been in the presence of a number of these folks.

Terry Fullum was one of them. People that really get it and that communicate. And so I want to say that because I want to be a voice of encouragement to the listeners of this program who we all need encouragement folks. But Mike Thompson, the new book is The Lions Army. You can follow him on YouTube. We'll be right back with The Miracle Monday story. Numbers don't lie. The impact that Balance of Nature makes every single day is astounding.

Nobody knows what those initials stand for it, but who cares? I'm in Dallas, I'm doing the program, and you meet all kinds of people. For example, I'm sitting here now with the couple behind a film that's in pre-production called He Named Him Adam, the inspiring true life story of healing and redemption with a glimpse of heaven. I love stories like this. Veronica. DePippo, writer-director, Mark Aramian producer, husband and wife. Welcome to the program. Thank you for having that, Sarah. How did you come to the story before we even get into what the story is? Well, once I was exiled from Hollywood, we moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Mark and I started volunteering our filmmaking skills to pro-life organizations. and when we were covering the Chattanooga March for Life, we came across Regina Block's story, and she was the keynote speaker,

and we absolutely fell in love with her story, and we realized this is something that really needs to be made into a movie, and it needs to be made now. Wow. Well, first of all, I love miracle stories, and this is a miracle story, and there's so many people who either they've never experienced this or they don't know, nobody who has,

and that's part of the reason that I do the show, is because I want people to know, hey, ladies and gentlemen, this is real. Like, this stuff happens. I've experienced the miraculous many times, and I know many people have experienced much more dramatic miracles than I have. It is absolutely real. And we need to get these stories out there to build people's faith to say, no, no, no, this is real. God is real. Miracles can happen.

So we did a segment. We haven't been doing it so much recently called Miracle Mondays, where we do something like this on a lot of Mondays, and maybe we'll run this next Monday. what is the story behind he named him, Adam? What's the background? It's the true life story of a woman named Regina who had an abortion, and she immediately started to suffer from anxiety and depression. And this derailed her law school ambitions.

It drove her to the brink of suicide, ruined her marriage, and when she was on the very brink of suicide, her four-year-old daughter, who had no idea that her mother had ever had an abortion, revealed to her that she had been having a series of recurring dreams about meeting an older brother in heaven. And what these dreams revealed to Regina completely turned her life around. She got post-a-board of counseling. She volunteered at a pregnancy resource center.

And she's now the director of the National Memorial for the Unborn in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Whoa. I didn't know any of this. Well, you hear stories like this. I wrote a book called Miracles. And in my Miracles book, there's a story. I had the person who experienced this. She's a friend on this program to tell this story,

and it was about abortion she had. It's a similar story, and I've heard similar stories. This stuff is just real. I just want to say it's real, and it's astonishing. And if anybody doubts the existence of God, what in the world do you make a stories like this? I mean, it doesn't make any sense. How can a little girl, who's four years old,

start telling her mother about this, you know, where does that come from? And a lot of people just didn't want to know. And she recognized the kid as her brother. Looked like the father, you know, as a kid. He told her her name. He told her that I'm your brother. And she said, I know. They knew it.

So this little girl was having dreams of going heaven. Yeah. Yes. But there's a scene in the movie where they meet in heaven. Well, I want to say, because I get interested in the details of the miraculous. you know, so these journalistic details, you know, when people say she had a dream of being in heaven, I would say not really. She actually was in heaven.

And it happens in the medium of a dream. I had an experience where I had a dream, but it was really a vision from God versus a dream. And I have had friends and relatives who've had experiences of visions and stuff. And you realize that was real, like that actually in the spirit realm, that actually happened. It's not just a dream. I mean, because you can have just a vision or a dream, but sometimes it's real.

And so when you talk about this little girl having a dream of heaven talking to her brother, like that actually happened. She was actually in the spirit realm. And so it's vital to make that clear. And it kept happening night after night. It happened more than once. It was recurring dreams.

And I really think her mother was in so much pain from her abortion nine years earlier that God had to use this child to give his message of grace, healing, and redemption to Regina so that she could finally heal. And from that moment that she accepted the fact that this was happening, all suicidal ideation, anxiety, and depression left her. She's never had another thought about it. She's never had another thought about it since then. And she's now a positive voice for thousands of post-abortive men and women who are suffering from post-abortion agret.

What year roughly did this happen? How many years ago? The abortion was in the early 90s, and the redemption was in the early 2000s. So it's been about over 20 years since this has happened. But it's had a real impact on everybody who she's told the story to, which is why when we heard the story, we thought this needs to be a movie. to go all over the world. And why is it, and so you're doing it with Angel Studios?

Yeah, what happened was we crowdfunded to raise money for this. We raised enough money to shoot 12 scenes. And we submitted that to Angel as a torch. You shot 12 scenes. From the movie, yes. From the movie, from the full-length screenplay. Right. And we then got about the third, fourth highest score of all time.

We got a 93 out of 100. You have to have over 85 for distribution. Yeah. The Bonhofer film was distributed through Angel, and it's a similar thing, that people get to vote. Do they like it? Do they want to see the rest of it? Or do they want Angel to get behind it?

So it was that high. I knew you were familiar with it. We saw the movie and loved it, by the way. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's a great movie. I don't talk about this enough. You can see it on Amazon Prime and on Apple. TV now.

Isn't it still on the Angel app? Perhaps, but I'm saying there are people that, who aren't an angel, is like to see it tonight. Go to Amazon Prime or go to Apple TV. Go any place. But for the love of Pete, see the film because it's such a great film. But the

angel model is such a cool concept. Yeah. I mean, we've dreamed about this in the future. Now it's happening. It's the democratization of, really, because before it was all decided by a group of studio elites. Right. And if they were the ones deciding, this movie that we're making would never possibly be made.

Well, that's been a part of my life, that story really of, you know, why the culture is messed up for decades. God has called me to the culture. And you realized, in fact, it was Michael Medved who wrote a book. It was the early 90s, it might have been 1990, about this phenomenon. It's called Hollywood versus America. And it's all about how the Hollywood elites are making films that will. be perceived as cool among their friend group, all of whom want some gritty, nasty, you know, whatever, rather than making what the people want. So it's counterintuitive because you think they'd

be in it for the money. But if they were in it for the money, they'd be making family films. Yes. So it's so fascinating all these years later, God has given us some opportunities to make films that people are actually looking for. Yeah. The streaming wars between Hollywood and the streamers, the streamers won. And we are the beneficiaries of that. Yeah. We're going around them. We're going over their heads. To me, it's really something that people have prayed for for decades, and you didn't know that it could ever happen. How could it happen? Well, you don't need to know. It's just the Lord knows because you couldn't have made it happen with the technology from 30 years ago. We're in a new world. And so the Lord has allowed us to get to a place where this kind of stuff can happen. I know that you know this, but your audience maybe had never thought about this before. The way Hollywood does this, the way they, manipulate the culture is they create a movie. They have a protagonist, a hero that you can tell from

the beginning of the movie is a great person. And they're often, the antagonist is somebody who has Judeo-Christian values. And they jam this down your throat. If you see somebody with a cross, they're going to be the bad guy. If they're praying at the beginning of the movie or going to church, you know they're going to be the bad guy. And subtly, they have changed people's perception of the Church of God. No doubt. No, there's absolutely no doubt. And this is going on and on and on.

And the funny thing is this didn't really exist until it began in the 50s. You see it begin in the 50s and then in the 60s. And then you're off to the races. And everything is hostile to faith to, you know, kind of middle American values, to morality, to the unborn, of course, all that kind of stuff. And we've been dealing with this. and the toxicity of those bad ideas has affected the culture dramatically. It's ruined lives, it's destroyed lives.

Yes. And, you know, we're talking about the possibility of getting back what we've lost over many, many decades. And this is not something that it happens overnight. But it's happening. This is what's, it's hard to believe that in our lifetime, it's really happening. Now, can people support this film at angel.com? No, they're going to go to our website. He Namedhimadam.com.

I'm talking to the filmmakers behind a soon-to-be-made film called He Named Him Adam. So I have a lot of questions. First of all, we'll have two questions. First of all, how did the two of you get into filmmaking? Now, Veronica, you made it sound like you were involved in Hollywood. Yes. I started out as an actor, and I worked in New York City. And from there, I sort of stumbled into writing and directing.

and from there I realized at one point I had three shows running at the same time. I had a children's musical that had been running for three and a half years off off Broadway. I had a one act, and I had a full-length play at Riverside, Shakespeare Company, and I wasn't making enough money to survive. I had to teach and temp and do all kinds of things. So I thought, forget this, I'm going to Hollywood. And when I came to Hollywood, I had to start off back at the bottom. of the rung because they didn't really respect theater people. They knew they should respect them,

but they didn't respect them. Yeah, and maybe if you're El Pacino, they respect you. Yes. But that's it. They draw the line at Pacino 50 years ago. Yes. So I started out at the bottom and I worked at production companies and I worked in production offices and I read script and I was a script analyst. And I actually started working on independent films in all kinds of crew positions. And then eventually I landed an agent and I started to become a working screenwriter. I was still writing and my own things in plays and directing plays in Los Angeles. And then Mark and I met, and he can pick up the story from there. Yes, we were isolated in L.A.

because of our values and our views. You don't really speak about it. Did you live in L.A.? No, no, I'm a Christian. So wait a minute. So what years are we talking about? Is this the 90s? I'm not really clear on the timing.

She moved in the 90s, right? I moved in the 90s. I was there in the early 90s. So when there was a lot of really great independent film happening in Los Angeles at that time. Yeah. And I was kind of working with the who's who and the companies that were sort of the... Anyone that I would know, any films that I would know? Well, I was working at companies such as I was reading for Michael Nozick's company, basically the Robert.

Redford's companies, South Fork, Wildwood, and I was one of the readers. And so it was very exciting because you saw all these great independent films being made and on the inside of the next rung that was being. And it was also creative. But then suddenly the Marvel comic phenomenon started to take over. I just want you to know, I have skipped all those films. Like through the decades, I've held my position. I'm just not interested.

Yeah. I hate to be, you know, a curmudgeon, but I'm so not interested in those films. And I'm not saying they're worthless, but close enough. Yeah, they started to take over. And so we met in the early 2000s. I moved there in right after 9-11. And what business were you in? I'm a composer and post-production sound guy, sound designer.

And where did you start life? Atlanta. Then I moved to Manila. And then I moved to London with there a couple of years. And then when I moved back to the States, I went to L.A. Okay. And I was going to be this big-time composer. Yeah.

And I met Veronica. And she needed help getting us. And you threw it all the way for a woman. Can you believe that? I can't believe you would do a thing like that. So Mark Aramian, which of course must be Armenian. Yeah. Mark Aramian meets Veronica Dipippo, which is, of course, Italian.

And were you a person of faith at that time? You know, I was coming. Coming back, yes, I was, but it's been a steady, steady journey. Right. And, yeah, very much now. And your values, but it's interesting the way God's timing of how these things work. And at what point did you both say, okay, we can't make the films we want in Hollywood. It's harder.

Yeah, so we were members of Friends of Abe. Have you ever heard of that? I've never been invited, and I resent them to this. day. But I've heard of it over and over and over again. Look, I joke around. I know it's a great thing. And people say, have you heard of it? It's like, yes, but I've never been to a meeting, but I know that it is conservatives. And the name, to explain, Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican. Yeah. And so Friends of Abe is a secret, you know, group of conservatives in Hollywood in the media. When we finally got invited to that, then I'm glad we got invited and not you.

Yeah. They're still trying to keep me out because I'm way too conservative for them. They're mostly communists at this point. Anyway, so we met there, and there was like a breath of fresh air that we could actually talk to people, you know, about the things we believed in and so on. Anyway, so Veronica was asked by Andrew Breitbart to write an article. So I wrote some articles, and actually, ironically, the first one I wrote was an article called How Hollywood taught me not to behave. and it was a humor piece about what it was like to be in Hollywood under the Clinton administration and how you could sit down and break bread and have a meal with people of all different perspectives. But suddenly, when Bush was president, you suffered from Bush derangement syndrome at the table.

Back when we thought Bush was a conservative, we were all fooled, how stupid we were. I just want to say that for the group, how stupid we were. But it's kind of funny because Hollywood despised him, and now I do too. Not really, but it's so interesting that, yeah, if you were pro-Bush, you know, you were despised in that world. Yeah. I started to be, I think, pegged and identified as a conservative. I had the misfortune to be on a round of studio meetings the very morning that John Kerry was lost the election. And I literally was, I met with several studio executives that day.

I should have rescheduled it. But I walked into studio executives literally weeks. in front of the television. Ladies and gentlemen, we're not making this up. They were literally weeping. Because, wait for it, John Stinking Kerry was not elected president of the United States. Yes. This is too much.

We're going to go to a break. But I just want to talk about the weeping. We'll be right back. It's true. Welcome back, folks. We're talking with Veronica DiPippo and Mark Aramian, who are making a film called He Named Him Adam. You can find out more about it at he named himadam.com. And you were just talking about being in Hollywood in 2004 when Carrie loses the...

And my brain reels even thinking that he ran against Bush in 2004. So he lost. And as much as I no longer love Bush, boy, do I not love John Kerry. But you're telling me that studio execs were literally weeping that he had lost. Yes. I had some studio meetings that day, and I did not reschedule them. I had no idea what would be awaiting me. A tsunami of tears.

I walked in, and the first meeting I had, the studio executive was literally weeping in front of the television. And she turned to me with tears rolling out her face and said, what do you think about this? What do you think? And the fact that I was kind of like a deer in headlights, and I didn't immediately start crying, burst out into tears, and say that I felt the same that she did. I just, I said, well, I said those are the results, and I'm sorry you feel this way. What a hateful Nazi-like comment. What's wrong with you?

But I'm here to talk about my project, all right? And the fact that I didn't immediately jump in with her, let's just say that we didn't have a follow-up meeting after that. And none of those meetings went anywhere. Oh, yeah, you're a closet Nazi. I can tell it even from here. Isn't that amazing, though? Wow. Well, the irony was, here's the irony.

At the time, I was actually a registered Green Party member. The reason why is because I was disgusted with both sides of the political aisle. Well, you were smart ahead of time. And I said, both parties are kind of a joke right now. So I'm really going to go in the other direction. Well, you were smart enough to see through Bush and the neocons before most of us, I'm embarrassed to say. So, and you met? You married at some point?

We did. We met. We were both. I started producing. I will not have an unmarried couple on my show. I just want to be clear. I have rules. So, okay.

We met through an independent film collective. We were both working on independent films, and that's how we met. Yeah. And that's how I started taking up producing. Yeah. I was producing her short film. Yeah. And fell in love with it.

Much more exciting and demand. than being a composer. Yeah. Wow. So the film, the other question that I have to ask, the film we're talking about here, he named him Adam, which is going to be made shortly,

and distributed by Angel Studios. Where does the name Adam come from? Is that part of the dream that the little girl meets this brother and he has a name? Yes, he does. Spoiler alert, this little boy identifies himself as Adam. and I've spoken with Regina about why that is.

And we've kind of come to the theory that Adam is the first man, right? The first man, first son. Yeah. And that this was supposed to be her, the first man in her life, her first son. Right. And that's kind of what we've come to. If you get named in heaven, you generally get a good name. Like, you're not going to go to heaven and the little kid's going to be there.

and my name's Little X. That's not going to happen. Yeah. It's, uh, or my name is moon unit, right? Or moon unit or dweasel. Right. I don't think there's any dweasels, uh, in heaven yet.

But, uh, when dweeasel and moon unit leave this world, then there will be two, I hope. But seriously, you, um, I was saying that I wrote a book called Miracles and in that book is a story like this. And it's the same thing where, uh, this friend of mine has a vision of heaven and seeing this little girl, and the girl has a name in heaven. It's just a fascinating concept because that's very biblical, right? I mean, it starts with Adam naming the animals. To name something is a sacred biblical concept. Yes. So the idea that you're not just a clump of cells, you have a name. You are known to God. I don't know if you know this, but the Catholic Church wants parents who lose a child to

miscarriage or abortion to name them. Yeah. No, I didn't, I didn't know that. Yeah, it's very important to them. But I hear the Pope's against it. He's against most biblical, most Catholic teaching. He's against it. No, that's just so beautiful. And so, and if people go to the website, what will they find? He named him Adam.com.

They can see the trailer. And I was just telling a guy about it earlier here in the convention. And he wept when I told him about it. So if you want to weep, go and check out that. It's wonderful to see this moment in heaven where this little girl has his dream. But anyway, you can also donate money. to the crowdfunding campaign. Yes, yes, yes.

And then also we're raising money amongst high net worth individuals. We're selling equity positions, people who will participate in the revenue of the movie. And there's a link there called Investors Only. You have to have a password.

And if they contact me, you contact me through the website. I'll give them that password. And if they go to the T's and they look at the T's, they'll recognize Sam Sorbo, the fabulous Sam Sorbo has appeared in it. Sam Sorbo is in this film?

So you were willing to have her in the film, even with all the scandals and stuff? Wait a minute. A lot of people probably don't realize. Oh, yeah. Wait a minute. What's that? Oh, I really can't go into it publicly.

But it's nasty. No, Sam is a friend, so I mock her publicly. So what role does she play? She's actually, she's playing the doctor, the doctor who convinces her to have. having an abortion. And I asked her to do that because I didn't want

the character to be a cardboard cut-out villain. That's not who these people are. I wanted her to be real, and I knew that Sam, who often plays the good guy and the hero, would be able to bring the depth and breadth to that character to be convincing. And she is.

She's chilling in that. I love that. My friend Lawrence Fox starred as Hunter Biden in the film My Son Hunter. Oh, yeah. And it's so important to say, yes, these are real human beings. And we need to, you know, we need to let them have their say so that people can see that it's wrong. Not just make it like propaganda like the left does with us.

Well, we're just about out of time. So I want to reiterate the website is he named himadam.com. This is very powerful. My wife and I are very, you know, dedicated. to the unborn. My wife, my wife ran a pregnancy center in New York City for years, and these stories are so vital. And the fact that it's a true story, it's a miraculous story.

I mean, this is about changing the culture. So I hope folks will go to he named himadam.com. Join the club there, folks. He named him Adam.com. And Mark and Veronica, thank you for, you know, putting your talents where your mouth is. This is terrific. Thank you for your talent. balance.

Let me know everything's all right. Hey there, folks. If you've listened to the program, you know that for years I've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues. That's putting it nicely, who are teaching things that directly contradict the values of millions of American families, which is especially true if you're a Christian family. So for those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I'm pleased to announce our partnership with the great folks at the Herzog Foundation. They are the trusted source on America's K-12 private education with a remarkable suite of resources, free resources for parents and grandparents who are thinking about making the switch from public schools to a Christian education and for those already in Christian schools.

From their online publication, The Lion, to their new podcast, making the leap, the Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents to make the best educational decisions for their kids. To learn more about how your family, faith, and community can flourish. through equality, Christ-centered education. Go to Herdsug Foundation.com. That's Herzog Foundation.com. You know, folks, I should mention, we also have a new sponsor on the program.

That would be go-Israel.com. Most of you also know that you hear, how many people have you heard friends who go to Israel and say, it changed my life, it changed my life? I never don't hear that. I went there very briefly, and it changed my life briefly, because I didn't get to do the kind of trip I wanted to do.

But there's absolutely nothing like it. I can't tell you, it's like a broken record. Everybody who goes there says the same thing, that it was life-changing, life-changing, and then they'll tell you a story. So travel right now to Israel, of course, is not that feasible. But it is important that we stand with Israel, and we pray that what Israel is going through would end soon. Israel's war, folks, is America's war.

I look forward to traveling back to Israel with my friends and listeners as soon as we all can. In the meantime, please visit goisrael.com for more information. Portions of the Erkma Taxis show are sponsored by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism on behalf of the government of Israel. I also want to mention before we go, we're doing a campaign with food for the poor. We do this just about every year, and we're doing it right now during this month. They are our trusted partner in El Salvador. Now, as you know, and we keep saying it, there are kids who are hungry in South America and in Central America. And right now we're focused on El Salvador, which, of course, is Central America. And it's important for us to understand that this is real and that if you say,

well, I want to help, I want to help. How do you help? We partner with food for the poor because we trust them. We've worked with them for years. In fact, they, every dollar you give them is stretched so far that it's just impressive, right? So they're trustworthy and your dollar goes very, very far. Every hundred dollars you give to food for the poor, every hundred dollars feeds a kid for an entire year. Do the math, folks. That's 33 cents a day. Can feed a kid? You say, how's that possible? Well, that's the point. Is food for the The poor has tons of connections. They get a lot of the food donated.

They know how to do this, but they need our money to make it possible to get the food to kids. So this is the opposite of, you know, throwing your money down a rat hole, giving it to the federal government, which has been wasting it for our lifetimes.
