Thanks so much for joining and I do know you have a choice on where you can listen each and every day they were committed to encouraging generation ready and if you missed any part of our number one.

I hope you will check in now. We talked quite extensively about a a van by Facebook of my sermon and a church service. Yet Facebook is decided that church services and sermons that give people hope really that that that ask people. The question whom whom are you going to serve are we going to continue to serve King George, or are we going to put God first. Are we going to serve Christ.

Are we going to serve biblical principles like our founders created this country to be in the liberties and freedoms that come with that and I guess you know the course. The federal government doesn't want anybody listening to that. So their social media arm. That would be Facebook yes social media arm of the government shutdown and said that my message was fraudulent was considered to be false advertising and and was considered to be a national security risk. Think about that all right.

I welcome a gentleman who has written a book for children, hoping to get our children to understand these principles once again and the book is called 21 steps guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier, and this is something that really should resonate with every American. He is from Teaneck, New Jersey, is where he was born and raised his influences included the world book encyclopedia, circa 1967. Important to note that Orwell's 1984 and and this when I think of the scope of others but one flew over the cuckoo's nest, which is incredibly interesting when a you you when you peel that back and really look at the message that is attempted to be brought there.

It's it's it's there's some significant depth to that love scallops, lobster and escargot and catfish that that's why he and I are fast friends right there. That's the whole deal. I want to welcome Jeff Goss felt that got us all to the program.

Jeff will you a great introduction but my life.

When you qualify something that I may well watch her and escargot and scout characters. I keep kosher. I am a good Lord was with God made why Mattie met right right yes no iron or tofu. Even yeah no I know my daughter-in-law is vegan so guy so I get it right. I mean, you know, tofu is is on the menu and I've had, and she does an incredible job I had atelier of you know of making tofu very edible but but nonetheless yeah not linear. You know, not one your things and brains of any type that's that's when this is really like, you know. I remember when I was when I was a kid going to an Italian restaurant. My aunt was a world traveler and and we actually had Frames your will in a long time. Fortunately fortunately the Bible has many things that are available to eat just so I'm doing just fine. I love I love it. Oh my God, you know we were talking about that that Facebook situation and and about free speech and you were sharing with me.

You know, and having gone through law school and and and the Constitution. I love the future with her audience that you know some of the thoughts you are having about free speech and I think it correlates very well to the reason why these soldiers gave their lives yet. I completely agree with you book a book of 21 steps starting with your mom, soldier air. And I get great credit to my publisher candlewick press is a major children's publisher Aaron illustrator reported on the book of gotten a lot of attention in the book is something of an outlier because it is about that particular subject got the best of America in front of us on a rainy man who gave their they get their lives to get the right and computers or American principles. We have no idea whether the unknown black white with no aging, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, atheist, liberal, conservative, and Dotson matter. The principles are what matters like free speech is one of our it starts one of our core principles.

If a Bill of Rights curates, but the United part from many other liberal democracies are protection are broad. There are limits and I working on law school event makes, but the idea back limits need to be very narrow. That's what makes our country great.

In light of what you just said then and and helping children to understand the the historic significance of these 21 steps and and and and will get into the 21 steps and what that specifically is in just a second. But how does that contrast or does it I am.

I don't want to. I don't want to set this up so much that it's become such as a single syllable. I met it. Is there a contrast you think between the eight the America that these individuals gave their lives for and and and say the woke culture that where experiencing today go to Mexican question because I think by about any measure we come a long way. Very good direction. We had African-American soldiers fighting in work of the truly immense alter the amount of what were what and we had African-American soldiers fighting in World War I, Bert time, but this was a largely segregated America become very, very far think that you have a ways to go think anyone would agree that till we get to our more perfect union wiped I doing the book I tell the book from the point of view of the first unknown who was buried there on Armistice Day in 1921 and what may be a bit of the backsliders talk to kids about this book all the time. I'm at tremendous respect for the kids today. They are more trying agree or talk more about car payments and how rents and compassion bentonite robots. They are current. Your kind about you can build a better community and your compassionate UK. The summit is hurting you go to help And tolerant work, big country were 3330 daily people are not tolerant when a country however those are not about and the values of the men and women who serve in the military band now. Gave her life to selfless sacrifice on his or values of fidelity, reverence and patriotism and obedient and and oh boy OT Aaron exactitude that we may be the single it's it's a challenge. I think I in I mean II agree with the III think that when we when we absolutely carte blanche when we just flat label. One particular group of people in a certain manner. You know we we we create a massive level of of division you know there's obviously there are there are truths that are associated with with certain facts. But even though it no know you what use are know what I would say that the amazing thing about the art of salt, which is when you are out there not knowing the unknown is beckoning the unknown soldier belongs to one and and and we are we are the art we are complex. There are to be my politics. Light. I parked my politics are you're not going to like and and to expect that anybody is going to be 100% agreeable to this wonderful story from the former mayor of New York Ed Koch was running for office used to say, if you agree with on 812 things you need to both permit if you agree with me on 12 1112 things you need to see a psychiatrist right we we are we are we are complex and sometimes inconsistent them something supercritical but core American values free speech sacrifice of e pluribus unum liberty one nation under God's it would be great if you look at the art, it would be IIII completely agree and talk to me about the significance of 21 steps if that's a great question. Kids ask me this all the time to talk about the book the two guards are out there and if you been to Arlington you know what I'm talking about never been at least watch video but you need to go so there on the map they do 21 steps a stock perfectly turn Facebook to 21 seconds of silence 21 mortgage-backed 21 seconds of silence.

It's 2121 after 21 and here's why. 21 is the highest honor that the military can give to a visiting dignitary or to the President of the United States. 21 gun salute that. Where did it come from kids always ask the story. I don't know if it's true, but it's a really good one.

In the Middle Ages when warships used to enter a port and if they were coming in peach. They tended to have seven guns on your deck. They fired their cannons out to Street Stop & Shop and the strong battery would respond with 21 Blacks and those those 21, became a symbol of peace that now and I have to be honest with you I I've never heard that story and I was, and I'm an Air Force veteran and I have observed then and and had a sense of the significance of a 21 gun salute. I understood that there was something about that.

All my life that was significant, but I've never heard that story. Thanks :-) I get the my pleasure 21 second gives you time and no significant development out of it. Wouldn't it be nice if we all deposited for 21 seconds every day and just kind of think about the things were engaged in juggling work will event with more Jeff goddess felt is with us and we'll talk about is a critical time to be vigilant in the defense of our freedom is no better way to do so them by joining the Association of mature American citizens a Mac a Mac is one of the fastest growing conservative organizations in America well over 2 million people are joined now carry the a Mac membership card game that was built by regular folks feel the same way you do.

I'm your host last Greg and that and that there is actually I'm looking at an article that was that was sent to me and it it it it is the article that talks about that. The significance of the rituals Jeff and and and and someone had sent me that particular article that you wrote where work and they find that article so that they can so they can read it or or or. With your permission, can I put it up in my blog I would be delighted. I will send it to you after the show totally put it up. It's important what you're talking about ritual because the tomb of the unknown soldier in the changing of the guard, you know it transforms Warden and I try to make this point in the book or something ordinary transformed into something to take you whether one is religious or not. You cannot vote out there on the Plaza and watch the tomb guard relaxers 5000 people around you with the tomb and all in all stocks, silence, looking out at the tomb guard you're looking to lose guard to the tomb and imagining the stories of the men from World War I, World War II and Korea who were working toward their it's not ordinary and that's really important to conduct all that much… Person you would look out on the chart. Like if you do not relate to global religion.

I I was sharing with my audience. A few weeks back.

Kind of like my argument about how the word religion has been stolen and and denigrated and and how it really is a it is a beautiful thing you know, might my Bible tells me that true religion is to take care of the orphans and the widows and the poor mentally. You know that I guy I asked a friend of mine that was on I said will do you know how often you brush your teeth, you know right got you know how I did believe the do you eat every day. You know Jesus you do you put clothes on. Okay, yeah, I mean every single one of these qualifies as religious. But there's a difference between that and religion. But even still wise it up. Why is it a bad thing to do something consistently. I mean every book about consenting about success tells you that if you dictate that there are certain steps that you should repeat obviously view the same thing over and over in your failing stop I met you know I want to be one of the points of 900 words which is the ritual of bringing the unknown home from World War I was repeated, the unknowns of World War II and Korea and the mutual guard on the map is repeated by employee guard who follows them. I was just with the tomb guards this last Thursday was my most extraordinary experiences from our lock. Thank you this before I went to make a few more Charlie math is no place for creativity place.
