Chris Woodward says he was blown away by what he saw in Israel
And now Chris Woodward back from Israel.
Chris Woodward Yes.
Tim Wildmon How many days were you over there?
Chris Woodward Six, or seven. Felt like about two weeks. We got a lot crammed in.
Tim Wildmon The, Ministry of Tourism for the country, of Israel invited you and, jj, Jasper went, John Wriley, John Reilly, y', all three.
Chris Woodward We did. Three amigos. John is actually still there. he stayed for, a few more days, and his wife and one of his children is going to meet him there tomorrow, I think.
Ed Vitagliano Family.
Tim Wildmon So your first time there?
Chris Woodward It was my first time. Totally, totally. Just blown away. Mind blown. Yes. I knew, you know, like a lot of people, I had a basic knowledge of the history and whatnot in terms of, who all has lived there and developed things over the years. but I did not expect that I would see all the things that I saw. And it is not a stretch of the imagination when somebody says or you hear somebody say that you can see things that Jesus himself saw. When you're on the Sea of Galilee, you can see Tiberius there, but pretty much the hills and the mountains are just as they were 2,000 years ago. And that's just one example. Dead Sea, En Gedi, Masada, all kinds of places.
Tim Wildmon Capernaum.
Chris Woodward Yes.
Tim Wildmon Sea of Galilee.
Chris Woodward And, you know, even if you've been before, you know, I've been 10, 15, 20 years ago. Go back, because they're finding things now and they're starting to excavate those things. We saw things at the City of David that the public is not going to be able to see for a couple of more months. underneath the City of David, the Pool of Siloam, all kinds of things. So do go back if you've already been.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. Well, great. I'm glad you had a great experience. Everything went well. Except you were telling us in our show prep meeting this morning, you had the unfortunate circumstance of being trapped, by a crying ba. With sitting by a crying baby on the flight over or flight back.
Chris Woodward On the way over to Tel Aviv, there was a baby that cried, bless her heart, like the entire flight just.
Tim Wildmon That's 10 hours.
Chris Woodward Yes. And then on the way back.
Tim Wildmon That'll make you lose your religion.
Chris Woodward Yes. There was a lot of prayer in that time.
Tim Wildmon I'm sure there was, Chris.
Chris Woodward for both the child and the, for the parent. I'm sure the Parents felt bad, too, because nobody, you know, you don't want to be on the flight.
Wesley Wildmon Don't make us feel bad. We're having fun with this.
Chris Woodward Now, on the way back. On the way back, no crying, kids. But the guy next to me. The gentleman next to me fell asleep and, like, fell over, like, on me, and I didn't know what to do. So I'm just sitting there with, like.
Tim Wildmon He was an orthodox Jew.
Chris Woodward Yes.
Tim Wildmon He had the hat on everything.
Ed Vitagliano So he was against an unclean gentile.
Chris Woodward And so I'm sitting there, like, mentally debating, like, do I tap him until I'm like, sir, I may be unclean. I don't need whatever, you know? so I just let him sleep. But, yeah, he did.
Tim Wildmon He didn't have his hat on, because that would have grown into your eyeball.
Chris Woodward Oh, he did. He did.
Tim Wildmon Oh, he did have his hat on.
Chris Woodward He was full garb, but I mean.
Tim Wildmon Hat on while he crashed into you.
Chris Woodward Yes. He sat, like, leaning up against me, like.
Tim Wildmon Okay, this is a. This is a question I want to ask Wesley and Ed. we know what Chris did. He let the man use, his shoulder.
Chris Woodward I bear his burdens.
Wesley Wildmon He did, apparently.
Tim Wildmon a Gentile, no less.
Wesley Wildmon Yeah.
Tim Wildmon Chris is. What would you have done in that circle?
Ed Vitagliano I would have flicked his ear and woken him up. No, I would not. I wouldn't flick his ear. I could get arrested for assault. I would have said, sir. Excuse me, sir.
Tim Wildmon Yeah, Sir.
Ed Vitagliano we're not doing this for 10 hours.
Chris Woodward 12 hours.
Ed Vitagliano Okay. I would. I.
Tim Wildmon No, that's from Boston Talk.
Ed Vitagliano I would have said, sir. Or I would have cleared my throat or gently nudged him awake and said, lean on the other person.
Wesley: Chris handled it well. Thank the Lord
Tim Wildmon All right, Wesley, how would you handle this?
Wesley Wildmon So what I would do is I would. I would unbuckle, my seat belt first.
Tim Wildmon Yes.
Wesley Wildmon Then I would get my feet out on the aisle, and then I would jerk. Pull out, watch them fall.
Tim Wildmon Watch him fall over.
Wesley Wildmon That's what I would do.
Tim Wildmon That would wake you up.
Ed Vitagliano But what. I like that.
Tim Wildmon But you know what?
Wesley Wildmon I had to go to the bathroom.
Ed Vitagliano Yes. There you go.
Tim Wildmon You didn't even have to talk to him then.
Wesley Wildmon Nope.
Tim Wildmon Okay.
Wesley Wildmon Right. I'm saying anything. Bathroom break.
Ed Vitagliano And. And let this be a lesson to you, sir, you don't need on someone else on a long flight.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano and then I would say, 67 years old, and do what you want now. It's probably gonna happen three or four more times before we land.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon You've graduated in 67 years. What is 64.
Ed Vitagliano What's that?
Wesley Wildmon What? You. So, you said your age, right?
Ed Vitagliano Yes. 60. 7.
Wesley Wildmon 6. 7. You get to do what you want. When you graduated in.
Ed Vitagliano I was just going to tell the gentleman, I'm going to the restroom, and you might as well on the other side.
Wesley Wildmon Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Because I'm going to be getting up, lean on somebody.
Tim Wildmon I thought it was making somebody else's problem.
Wesley Wildmon Thought it was the old man joke that, we don't have filters anymore type thing. Oh, that too.
Ed Vitagliano It's clear I don't have one. Yeah, but.
Tim Wildmon Well, no, I would have pushed. I, would have probably used my.
Ed Vitagliano Hands and pushed his shoulder gently so with it.
Tim Wildmon Gently so. And then I would have said in Hebrew, what is wrong with you?
Chris Woodward In Hebrew. Well, that's one thing I could.
Ed Vitagliano I can't speak Hebrew like you can tell us. How would. How would that sound?
Tim Wildmon What is wrong with you?
Ed Vitagliano Yes, but say it in Hebrew.
Wesley Wildmon You. Would you use his phone?
Tim Wildmon Yeah, I usually do use a translation, so I would have talked into my phone and then let it talk back to the man.
Ed Vitagliano Your phone is supposed to be on airplane mode.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Sir.
Tim Wildmon Well, that didn't go the way you.
Wesley Wildmon Thought it was gonna go, did it?
Tim Wildmon Good point.
Wesley Wildmon Well, anyway, we probably need.
Tim Wildmon I don't think there's any right or wrong right there. No, I think Chris handled it well. He just said, I'm gonna let this, man who's of the tribe of Benjamin sleep on my shoulder. Maybe some of that good fortune to rub off on me.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. I did ask him if he drooled on him, and he said, no, we don't.
Chris Woodward Thank the Lord.
A couple of other things that surprised me about Israel were Dr. Pepper and Alabama
A couple of other things that did surprise me. number one was the Alabama store in Jerusalem.
Ed Vitagliano You saw a picture or you posted it on Facebook.
Chris Woodward Let me tell you, if Nick Saban ever needs to make a few shekels, he should just randomly stand outside that Alabama store and see if that's in.
Tim Wildmon The old city of Jerusalem. Yeah, it's got Roll Tide stuff. They got a lot of signs over there says, shalom, y'. All.
Chris Woodward Yeah, I bought it. I bought a couple of magnets.
Ed Vitagliano Oh, wait, are you kidding?
Chris Woodward M. Yeah. No, I'm dead serious.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Wow.
Chris Woodward Store is real.
Tim Wildmon And then they change depending on who wins the championships. Yeah, they'll go. There'll be Buckeyes over there now.
Chris Woodward Yeah. If they fail to make the playoff, their stuff may be on sale.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Chris Woodward But, one of the other things that I noticed was largely missing was, over there. And I was surprised by this because in in Israel they have like every coke soda pop known to man pretty much. But, one thing that I could not find anywhere in my tour guide, had never even heard of it was Dr. Pepper.
Tim Wildmon Really?
Chris Woodward Yeah. They have seven up over there, but they don't have Dr. Pepper. it was weird because I even asked her, I said, one thing I've not seen over here is Dr. Pepper. And she said, what is that? And right then I was like, you're better.
Tim Wildmon You're very observant, Chris.
Ed Vitagliano Well, he's. Are you a doctor?
Chris Woodward I am a Dr. Pepper fan.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. So he was wanting, he was looking.
Tim Wildmon For a Dr. Pepper.
Chris Woodward Yeah, I. And in my house.
Tim Wildmon Holy Dr. Pepper. You know, like holy water. Holy Dr. Pepper.
Chris Woodward He's a great physician.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Chris Woodward Dr. Pepper.
Do we have any update on uh, on the Minneapolis shooting?
Tim Wildmon All right, you're listening to today's issues on the American Family Radio Network. What's your first story, your first real story, by the way, do we have any update on on the Minneapolis shooting?
Chris Woodward Well, it's it's going to depend on the outlet outlet that you go to, but I checked a couple of different sites just before I came in here. various news outlets are saying at least two dead, 20 injured. And one of our television screens moments ago said, children are among the dead.
Ed Vitagliano It's. I'm looking. It says two children dead and the shooter himself. Yes, also deceased.
Chris Woodward this will be our lead story for the rest of today, pretty much. So do stay with American, family news radio and print wise because we will stay on top of this.
Tim Wildmon If you haven't heard, a couple of hours ago or so in Minneapolis, at a Catholic school, somebody went in and opened fire on a bunch of people, including a lot of children. It sounded like they were in a mass M A S S like in a Catholic worship service is what I'm talking about. and this happened and the news, news, both CNN and MSNBC and I guess Fox reporting that and the hospital 2. The shooter is dead. Two kids have died and there are 14 others, 17 under others who are including set, 14 children and three adults who are injured. Injured. Injured because of the shooting. Now the Minneapolis. This is the Minneapolis mayor I'm watching here. I know that people can't see this. It's on the BBC. he's ranting. I don't know. He's very liberal guy. My guess is he's going off on. My guess is he's calling in it gun violence.
Chris Woodward Yeah, if he's not some, some Democrat.
Ed Vitagliano Today we'll mention now I've seen on the little. On one of the screens here again, we have four major news outlets. We can see their video, feed, that the shooter used a long gun rifle. So the discussions about gun control, which usually revolve around handguns.
Chris Woodward Right.
Ed Vitagliano is not applicable here if that's what the mayor's. And he does look like he's ranting. Tim.
Tim Wildmon Okay, explain to me, for those who aren't knowledgeable, on a lot of the differences between guns. You're talking about a long gun. I know what a handgun is. I know what a long gun is. But would this be an automatic weapon?
Wesley Wildmon There isn't. An automatic weapon's illegal anyways.
Ed Vitagliano Right.
Wesley Wildmon You can't have an automatic weapon.
Tim Wildmon But when you say long gun, say long gun. I'm thinking of a, deer hunting rifle. It's long and it's a gun.
Ed Vitagliano You're right. I, I should have clarified. We don't know what kind of long gun.
Tim Wildmon It could have been something that had.
Ed Vitagliano But it. I, I was assuming that it meant that they were talking about a hunting rifle. But it, it could be a what people.
Wesley Wildmon Semi automatic.
Ed Vitagliano It could be a semi automatic. What people refer to usually in the media on the left as a quote unquote assault rifle, which is technically no different than a hunting rifle.
Tim Wildmon Okay.
Ed Vitagliano And it, but it just looks in its functions.
Wesley Wildmon But it looks like it's an AR15.
Ed Vitagliano Yes. And it, and it looks like it's a military weapon, but military weapon would.
Wesley Wildmon Be automatically fully automatic or three round burst. Or you can interchange it.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon Yeah.
Judge dismisses Wyoming sorority case on transgender member
Tim Wildmon All right. You're listening to today's issues. what's your story, Chris?
Chris Woodward Well, President, Donald Trump may be in the White House again, and he may have an executive order saying no more males and female bathrooms and safe spaces, things like that. But that's not stopping. Rulings, coming out in favor of so called transgenders. Case in point here. Judge dismisses Wyoming sorority case on transgender member, citing expansive definition of, woman or woman. This is a case that we've been covering for several years now at afn.
Tim Wildmon That particular case.
Chris Woodward Yes, this particular case has been going on since 2022. So there's a guy named Artemis Lang who claims to be a female and wants to be in the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. And he wouldn't. Right. So, so Artemis, actually got so far as to be able to live in the sorority house, but the girls, the actual females in the sorority, said this is not right. I feel it's uncomfortable for me. I have Title 9 rights. This shouldn't be allowed, but they end up going to court. It goes up and down the court system, in and out of court. And, and yesterday a judge by the name of District Judge Allen B. Johnson dismissed former University of Wyoming students lawsuit against their sorority for allowing a biological male to join their group, ruling that the sorority can define women as it chooses. In his ruling, the judge wrote that the organization clearly showed in documents that it defines women by their gender and not their biological sex. Talking about the university.
Tim Wildmon So, so the sorority itself doesn't have a problem with him being in the house.
Chris Woodward Yeah, there were some people in, in involved with the sorority that were fine with him or at. Publicly declared that, you know, a man should be able to do this if he claims to be a female. But the girls were like, this is not right. Tried to get a judge to toss him out.
Tim Wildmon You talk about an increase in, sororities if, if they're gonna, if, if you're gonna allow 19 year old boys to live with 19 year old girls.
Chris Woodward Yes.
Tim Wildmon I like. And all they got to do is claim to be a girl to live in the sorority house. Yeah, that's gonna, that's gonna be an uptick in. Man.
Ed Vitagliano You said.
Tim Wildmon Does my reasoning not hold up?
Ed Vitagliano You said at the beginning when Chris was saying this young man, wanted to, Wanted to be in the sorority.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Who wouldn't? And I was thinking. Well, you wouldn't. I wouldn't. and none of the other married guys here would. But you're talking about single men. Yeah. In a college, at a college setting.
Tim Wildmon Listen. Who are pretty, pretty high on hormones. About that age. Am I right?
Ed Vitagliano Yeah, yeah, that's.
Wesley Wildmon There's a problem.
Tim Wildmon Yeah, there's a potential problem.
Chris Woodward And this is Wyoming too. It's not Berkeley.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. It's one judge though. I bet it'll be overruled. but how long has that taken to get through the court?
Chris Woodward it's been at least three years.
Ed Vitagliano And part of, part of the problem with these is these happen in college. And by the time these young ladies get any kind of legal satisfaction, they're out of college. Their lives have already been.
Tim Wildmon They're only doing it for those who come behind them, so to speak.
Chris Woodward Yeah, I will say this too, and I'll keep it pg. But among. We've actually talked to members of the sorority in our coverage of this in the past. I couldn't find that audio. but they were talking about how, you know, they're at home wearing their pajamas and stuff. Like that, like any of us would do, when we're, you know, in our own homes and whatnot. And they talked about how Artemis was. He seemed excited, to be around the girls in their pajamas and really it made them even more uncomfortable. Yes.
Tim Wildmon Imagine that, a 19 or 20 year old boy.
Chris Woodward Right.
Ed Vitagliano Thank you for that. That PG.
Tim Wildmon Let's move on.
Chris Woodward Yes. I mean I had.
Tim Wildmon Well, that's, family friendly as you could get there, Chris.
Wesley Wildmon You notice I'm quiet.
Tim Wildmon Yeah, you're quiet. Chris is going to move on to.
President Trump opens door to 600,000 Chinese students among Beijing trade talks
Wesley Wildmon The next story you don't have as in right now.
Tim Wildmon Chris.
Chris Woodward Okay. There is a Fox News story here. President Trump opens door to 600,000 Chinese students among Beijing trade talks. Several people have been concerned about the large number of Chinese Communists studying, here in the US at our universities. But President Trump appears to be okay with allowing at least 600,000 Chinese students, and it could be because of the ongoing trade talks with Beijing.
Tim Wildmon Okay, I was booing, from the gallery, from the peanut gallery here. This is, I don't have a problem with, with people, from around the world, students from around the world coming to the United States to study. Study even from China.
Wesley Wildmon Go back.
Tim Wildmon Even from China or other countries that aren't American friendly necessarily. I don't have a problem with that. I'm booing because, I don't like President Trump using the idea of allowing 600,000 Chinese students to come here as a negotiation, as a negotiating tool when it has to do with trade. Does that make sense?
Ed Vitagliano Yes, it does. And, and let me just, utter a, an opinion that's different from yours.
Tim Wildmon Okay.
Ed Vitagliano I do have a problem with people coming here from countries that are our enemies.
Tim Wildmon Now China's not our enemy, are they? Well, we tried with them like crazy.
Ed Vitagliano We, we do.
Wesley Wildmon Well, we should. That doesn't mean we should though.
Ed Vitagliano I've, I view them as, as an existential threat to our country. I think they are. And according to their, according to military sources, the Chinese have made it clear that they are preparing their military to take Taiwan by 2027. And when that happens, I believe they will attack our bases in the western Pacific and might float a weather balloon over the Midwest. Who knows what they're going to do and detonate an emp.
Chris Woodward I.
Wesley Wildmon You don't have stories. Go ahead.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah, and they are building up their military to such an extent that they literally threaten the US Military in the Pacific.
Tim Wildmon I also believe they don't call you encouraging it for nothing.
Ed Vitagliano Yes. So I also Believe Iran's a threat. North Korea is a threat. Some of these countries that are clearly our enemies, I think we should send their students home. And because you know what? It's not our fault that their country wants to do us harm. And so we look askance at students. This, this, what President Trump is doing is wrong. Okay? This is wrong. Letting 600,000.
Tim Wildmon He's not doing it yet. He's suggesting it. Right. Am I right or is he doing.
Chris Woodward Well, he's, he's shifting his tone on the issue, so he's moving in that direction.
Tim Wildmon All right, hold on. Shifting tone. Which way?
Tim Ferriss: President Trump's move on Chinese students is a mistake
Chris Woodward Well, we got to remember earlier this year, you had people like Secretary of State Marco Rubio, under the direction of President Trump, announcing plans to revoke visas for Chinese nationals, particularly those tied to the Chinese.
Tim Wildmon Excuse me for interrupting here. Just, I'm, trying to clarify this situation. So yesterday, President Trump said what?
Chris Woodward He said, quote, him, quote, I hear so many stories that we're not going to allow their students. We are going to allow their students to come in. It's very important. 600,000 students. It's very important. Important. But we're going to get along with China.
Wesley Wildmon All right?
Ed Vitagliano That's what I think is wrong, because there's already, like, almost 300, 000 over here right now, and a lot of. And listen, China's buying up land around our military bases. I have zero doubt that if we were ever. And I'm like you, Tim, I hope we can get through this time, without a war with China. Okay? But if there ever was a war, I have no doubt, I have zero doubt that many of these young military age m. Young males are over here for the express, express purpose of being a fifth column and wreaking havoc in our country to keep us busy while our military is trying to fight the, the Chinese. I, I don't trust them. Because they're communists. I know I sound like I'm from the 1950s, but I don't trust communists. Yeah, they are materialists. They believe we're animals. They have no Christian morality restraining them. They're going to, Communists will do whatever it takes to beat their enemy and, and so subjugate their own people. Yes.
Tim Wildmon With, with brutal authority.
Ed Vitagliano Yes. So I, I, this is a mistake on the part of the president. I wish he would. I wish he would find other things to give. I don't mind trading with China at this point, but that. Listen to. The Chinese have stolen our intellectual property. There's all kinds of things.
Wesley Wildmon Well, they've embedded spies, and not just like three decades ago, as in, like last month.
Ed Vitagliano Right.
Wesley Wildmon July.
Chris Woodward I mean, well, and keep in mind, too, that a lot of people from America or other parts of the west come, here and they go to one of our universities and then they graduate as a Marxist, pretty much like they've been indoctrinated. So you may end up with a situation where you have a Chinese Communist that comes over here doing things he or she shouldn't, and then you have the person that grew up on the cul de sac, in, you know, middle America that's, going to be ideologically with these people.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah.
Chris Woodward They're not going to take up arms again.
Ed Vitagliano I think this is. Listen, I love. Tim says this a lot. I love 95% of what President Trump's doing. He is heroic in what he's trying to get accomplished in a very short amount of time. But this is a mistake.
Wesley Wildmon It's a bad one.
Ed Vitagliano This is, this is not a good move. That's my personal opinion.
Wesley Wildmon And I hope that enough people make him aware of that, that he doesn't do it.
Ed Vitagliano Yes.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. But you know how Trump is. as I say with President Trump, you go, good, good, good. Great. Good. And then you go, good night. What are you doing? Huh? he said what?
Ed Vitagliano Yeah.
Chris Woodward yeah.
Tim Wildmon so that's just the way he rolls.
Ed Vitagliano Well, he's. Listen, he's bold. He's very bold. He thinks outside the box. At times, he's brilliant, but nobody bats a thousand.
Tim Wildmon I know, but, like, look what he did with Iran.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah.
Tim Wildmon Went over there and bombed their nuclear.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. that was a brilliant.
Chris Woodward Yeah.
Tim Wildmon Bold and bold move.
Ed Vitagliano I mean, courageous movie.
Tim Wildmon He does things like that that probably most. That most other presidents would not do.
Chris Woodward Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Nobody else would. George Bush.
Tim Wildmon So with any, like, with any leader.
Wesley Wildmon Even done this yet, he just said he.
Tim Wildmon Right. That's what. I don't think he'll do this. I did he. His point was he's probably wanting to butter up, the. Is it she. What has he. Jinping the leader of, China, basically, the president. He's wanting to butter him up, so he can have an Art of the deal moment or something. I don't know.
Tim Ferriss: Trump needs to take three days off from talking to press
Chris Woodward Yeah.
Tim Wildmon But, you know, that's, that's, that's. He says Trump says things oftentimes he has no intention of doing, but he just throws it out there. And, you know, nobody talks more to the press in the history of being true than Trump. And in fact, I told somebody the other day, I said, Trump needs to take three days off from talking to the press at all.
Chris Woodward Yeah, just put a lid on it.
Tim Wildmon Just put a lid on it for three days and say it. I don't have anything to say.
Chris Woodward We're about to go into a holiday weekend. That was a good time.
Tim Wildmon I don't have anything to say about anything.
Wesley Wildmon I don't have anything to say.
Tim Wildmon Today's Friday. I'll be back. Unless, no, not unless anything. whatever happens, I'll be back on Tuesday to talk to y', all, media folks. but until then, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go golf or I'm gonna go visit, one of my, you know, homes.
Ed Vitagliano Well, members of the media, they need a few days break to find their heads after they spin off, you know, sometimes. How do you find it?
Tim Wildmon How many heads do you have?
Ed Vitagliano You know, how do you find that.
Tim Wildmon They need to find themselves?
Ed Vitagliano Yes.
Tim Wildmon Am I right? All right. You're listening to today's issues.

Tim Wildmon Hey, welcome back, everybody, to Today's Issues on the American Family Radio Network. Thanks for listening to afr. Tim, Ed Wesley.
Chris Woodward says he was blown away by what he saw in Israel
And now Chris Woodward back from Israel.
Chris Woodward Yes.
Tim Wildmon How many days were you over there?
Chris Woodward Six, or seven. Felt like about two weeks. We got a lot crammed in.
Tim Wildmon The, Ministry of Tourism for the country, of Israel invited you and, jj, Jasper went, John Wriley, John Reilly, y', all three.
Chris Woodward We did. Three amigos. John is actually still there. he stayed for, a few more days, and his wife and one of his children is going to meet him there tomorrow, I think.
Ed Vitagliano Family.
Tim Wildmon So your first time there?
Chris Woodward It was my first time. Totally, totally. Just blown away. Mind blown. Yes. I knew, you know, like a lot of people, I had a basic knowledge of the history and whatnot in terms of, who all has lived there and developed things over the years. but I did not expect that I would see all the things that I saw. And it is not a stretch of the imagination when somebody says or you hear somebody say that you can see things that Jesus himself saw. When you're on the Sea of Galilee, you can see Tiberius there, but pretty much the hills and the mountains are just as they were 2,000 years ago. And that's just one example. Dead Sea, En Gedi, Masada, all kinds of places.
Tim Wildmon Capernaum.
Chris Woodward Yes.
Tim Wildmon Sea of Galilee.
Chris Woodward And, you know, even if you've been before, you know, I've been 10, 15, 20 years ago. Go back, because they're finding things now and they're starting to excavate those things. We saw things at the City of David that the public is not going to be able to see for a couple of more months. underneath the City of David, the Pool of Siloam, all kinds of things. So do go back if you've already been.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. Well, great. I'm glad you had a great experience. Everything went well. Except you were telling us in our show prep meeting this morning, you had the unfortunate circumstance of being trapped, by a crying ba. With sitting by a crying baby on the flight over or flight back.
Chris Woodward On the way over to Tel Aviv, there was a baby that cried, bless her heart, like the entire flight just.
Tim Wildmon That's 10 hours.
Chris Woodward Yes. And then on the way back.
Tim Wildmon That'll make you lose your religion.
Chris Woodward Yes. There was a lot of prayer in that time.
Tim Wildmon I'm sure there was, Chris.
Chris Woodward for both the child and the, for the parent. I'm sure the Parents felt bad, too, because nobody, you know, you don't want to be on the flight.
Wesley Wildmon Don't make us feel bad. We're having fun with this.
Chris Woodward Now, on the way back. On the way back, no crying, kids. But the guy next to me. The gentleman next to me fell asleep and, like, fell over, like, on me, and I didn't know what to do. So I'm just sitting there with, like.
Tim Wildmon He was an orthodox Jew.
Chris Woodward Yes.
Tim Wildmon He had the hat on everything.
Ed Vitagliano So he was against an unclean gentile.
Chris Woodward And so I'm sitting there, like, mentally debating, like, do I tap him until I'm like, sir, I may be unclean. I don't need whatever, you know? so I just let him sleep. But, yeah, he did.
Tim Wildmon He didn't have his hat on, because that would have grown into your eyeball.
Chris Woodward Oh, he did. He did.
Tim Wildmon Oh, he did have his hat on.
Chris Woodward He was full garb, but I mean.
Tim Wildmon Hat on while he crashed into you.
Chris Woodward Yes. He sat, like, leaning up against me, like.
Tim Wildmon Okay, this is a. This is a question I want to ask Wesley and Ed. we know what Chris did. He let the man use, his shoulder.
Chris Woodward I bear his burdens.
Wesley Wildmon He did, apparently.
Tim Wildmon a Gentile, no less.
Wesley Wildmon Yeah.
Tim Wildmon Chris is. What would you have done in that circle?
Ed Vitagliano I would have flicked his ear and woken him up. No, I would not. I wouldn't flick his ear. I could get arrested for assault. I would have said, sir. Excuse me, sir.
Tim Wildmon Yeah, Sir.
Ed Vitagliano we're not doing this for 10 hours.
Chris Woodward 12 hours.
Ed Vitagliano Okay. I would. I.
Tim Wildmon No, that's from Boston Talk.
Ed Vitagliano I would have said, sir. Or I would have cleared my throat or gently nudged him awake and said, lean on the other person.
Wesley: Chris handled it well. Thank the Lord
Tim Wildmon All right, Wesley, how would you handle this?
Wesley Wildmon So what I would do is I would. I would unbuckle, my seat belt first.
Tim Wildmon Yes.
Wesley Wildmon Then I would get my feet out on the aisle, and then I would jerk. Pull out, watch them fall.
Tim Wildmon Watch him fall over.
Wesley Wildmon That's what I would do.
Tim Wildmon That would wake you up.
Ed Vitagliano But what. I like that.
Tim Wildmon But you know what?
Wesley Wildmon I had to go to the bathroom.
Ed Vitagliano Yes. There you go.
Tim Wildmon You didn't even have to talk to him then.
Wesley Wildmon Nope.
Tim Wildmon Okay.
Wesley Wildmon Right. I'm saying anything. Bathroom break.
Ed Vitagliano And. And let this be a lesson to you, sir, you don't need on someone else on a long flight.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano and then I would say, 67 years old, and do what you want now. It's probably gonna happen three or four more times before we land.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon You've graduated in 67 years. What is 64.
Ed Vitagliano What's that?
Wesley Wildmon What? You. So, you said your age, right?
Ed Vitagliano Yes. 60. 7.
Wesley Wildmon 6. 7. You get to do what you want. When you graduated in.
Ed Vitagliano I was just going to tell the gentleman, I'm going to the restroom, and you might as well on the other side.
Wesley Wildmon Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Because I'm going to be getting up, lean on somebody.
Tim Wildmon I thought it was making somebody else's problem.
Wesley Wildmon Thought it was the old man joke that, we don't have filters anymore type thing. Oh, that too.
Ed Vitagliano It's clear I don't have one. Yeah, but.
Tim Wildmon Well, no, I would have pushed. I, would have probably used my.
Ed Vitagliano Hands and pushed his shoulder gently so with it.
Tim Wildmon Gently so. And then I would have said in Hebrew, what is wrong with you?
Chris Woodward In Hebrew. Well, that's one thing I could.
Ed Vitagliano I can't speak Hebrew like you can tell us. How would. How would that sound?
Tim Wildmon What is wrong with you?
Ed Vitagliano Yes, but say it in Hebrew.
Wesley Wildmon You. Would you use his phone?
Tim Wildmon Yeah, I usually do use a translation, so I would have talked into my phone and then let it talk back to the man.
Ed Vitagliano Your phone is supposed to be on airplane mode.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Sir.
Tim Wildmon Well, that didn't go the way you.
Wesley Wildmon Thought it was gonna go, did it?
Tim Wildmon Good point.
Wesley Wildmon Well, anyway, we probably need.
Tim Wildmon I don't think there's any right or wrong right there. No, I think Chris handled it well. He just said, I'm gonna let this, man who's of the tribe of Benjamin sleep on my shoulder. Maybe some of that good fortune to rub off on me.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. I did ask him if he drooled on him, and he said, no, we don't.
Chris Woodward Thank the Lord.
A couple of other things that surprised me about Israel were Dr. Pepper and Alabama
A couple of other things that did surprise me. number one was the Alabama store in Jerusalem.
Ed Vitagliano You saw a picture or you posted it on Facebook.
Chris Woodward Let me tell you, if Nick Saban ever needs to make a few shekels, he should just randomly stand outside that Alabama store and see if that's in.
Tim Wildmon The old city of Jerusalem. Yeah, it's got Roll Tide stuff. They got a lot of signs over there says, shalom, y'. All.
Chris Woodward Yeah, I bought it. I bought a couple of magnets.
Ed Vitagliano Oh, wait, are you kidding?
Chris Woodward M. Yeah. No, I'm dead serious.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Wow.
Chris Woodward Store is real.
Tim Wildmon And then they change depending on who wins the championships. Yeah, they'll go. There'll be Buckeyes over there now.
Chris Woodward Yeah. If they fail to make the playoff, their stuff may be on sale.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Chris Woodward But, one of the other things that I noticed was largely missing was, over there. And I was surprised by this because in in Israel they have like every coke soda pop known to man pretty much. But, one thing that I could not find anywhere in my tour guide, had never even heard of it was Dr. Pepper.
Tim Wildmon Really?
Chris Woodward Yeah. They have seven up over there, but they don't have Dr. Pepper. it was weird because I even asked her, I said, one thing I've not seen over here is Dr. Pepper. And she said, what is that? And right then I was like, you're better.
Tim Wildmon You're very observant, Chris.
Ed Vitagliano Well, he's. Are you a doctor?
Chris Woodward I am a Dr. Pepper fan.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. So he was wanting, he was looking.
Tim Wildmon For a Dr. Pepper.
Chris Woodward Yeah, I. And in my house.
Tim Wildmon Holy Dr. Pepper. You know, like holy water. Holy Dr. Pepper.
Chris Woodward He's a great physician.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Chris Woodward Dr. Pepper.
Do we have any update on uh, on the Minneapolis shooting?
Tim Wildmon All right, you're listening to today's issues on the American Family Radio Network. What's your first story, your first real story, by the way, do we have any update on on the Minneapolis shooting?
Chris Woodward Well, it's it's going to depend on the outlet outlet that you go to, but I checked a couple of different sites just before I came in here. various news outlets are saying at least two dead, 20 injured. And one of our television screens moments ago said, children are among the dead.
Ed Vitagliano It's. I'm looking. It says two children dead and the shooter himself. Yes, also deceased.
Chris Woodward this will be our lead story for the rest of today, pretty much. So do stay with American, family news radio and print wise because we will stay on top of this.
Tim Wildmon If you haven't heard, a couple of hours ago or so in Minneapolis, at a Catholic school, somebody went in and opened fire on a bunch of people, including a lot of children. It sounded like they were in a mass M A S S like in a Catholic worship service is what I'm talking about. and this happened and the news, news, both CNN and MSNBC and I guess Fox reporting that and the hospital 2. The shooter is dead. Two kids have died and there are 14 others, 17 under others who are including set, 14 children and three adults who are injured. Injured. Injured because of the shooting. Now the Minneapolis. This is the Minneapolis mayor I'm watching here. I know that people can't see this. It's on the BBC. he's ranting. I don't know. He's very liberal guy. My guess is he's going off on. My guess is he's calling in it gun violence.
Chris Woodward Yeah, if he's not some, some Democrat.
Ed Vitagliano Today we'll mention now I've seen on the little. On one of the screens here again, we have four major news outlets. We can see their video, feed, that the shooter used a long gun rifle. So the discussions about gun control, which usually revolve around handguns.
Chris Woodward Right.
Ed Vitagliano is not applicable here if that's what the mayor's. And he does look like he's ranting. Tim.
Tim Wildmon Okay, explain to me, for those who aren't knowledgeable, on a lot of the differences between guns. You're talking about a long gun. I know what a handgun is. I know what a long gun is. But would this be an automatic weapon?
Wesley Wildmon There isn't. An automatic weapon's illegal anyways.
Ed Vitagliano Right.
Wesley Wildmon You can't have an automatic weapon.
Tim Wildmon But when you say long gun, say long gun. I'm thinking of a, deer hunting rifle. It's long and it's a gun.
Ed Vitagliano You're right. I, I should have clarified. We don't know what kind of long gun.
Tim Wildmon It could have been something that had.
Ed Vitagliano But it. I, I was assuming that it meant that they were talking about a hunting rifle. But it, it could be a what people.
Wesley Wildmon Semi automatic.
Ed Vitagliano It could be a semi automatic. What people refer to usually in the media on the left as a quote unquote assault rifle, which is technically no different than a hunting rifle.
Tim Wildmon Okay.
Ed Vitagliano And it, but it just looks in its functions.
Wesley Wildmon But it looks like it's an AR15.
Ed Vitagliano Yes. And it, and it looks like it's a military weapon, but military weapon would.
Wesley Wildmon Be automatically fully automatic or three round burst. Or you can interchange it.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah.
Wesley Wildmon Yeah.
Judge dismisses Wyoming sorority case on transgender member
Tim Wildmon All right. You're listening to today's issues. what's your story, Chris?
Chris Woodward Well, President, Donald Trump may be in the White House again, and he may have an executive order saying no more males and female bathrooms and safe spaces, things like that. But that's not stopping. Rulings, coming out in favor of so called transgenders. Case in point here. Judge dismisses Wyoming sorority case on transgender member, citing expansive definition of, woman or woman. This is a case that we've been covering for several years now at afn.
Tim Wildmon That particular case.
Chris Woodward Yes, this particular case has been going on since 2022. So there's a guy named Artemis Lang who claims to be a female and wants to be in the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. And he wouldn't. Right. So, so Artemis, actually got so far as to be able to live in the sorority house, but the girls, the actual females in the sorority, said this is not right. I feel it's uncomfortable for me. I have Title 9 rights. This shouldn't be allowed, but they end up going to court. It goes up and down the court system, in and out of court. And, and yesterday a judge by the name of District Judge Allen B. Johnson dismissed former University of Wyoming students lawsuit against their sorority for allowing a biological male to join their group, ruling that the sorority can define women as it chooses. In his ruling, the judge wrote that the organization clearly showed in documents that it defines women by their gender and not their biological sex. Talking about the university.
Tim Wildmon So, so the sorority itself doesn't have a problem with him being in the house.
Chris Woodward Yeah, there were some people in, in involved with the sorority that were fine with him or at. Publicly declared that, you know, a man should be able to do this if he claims to be a female. But the girls were like, this is not right. Tried to get a judge to toss him out.
Tim Wildmon You talk about an increase in, sororities if, if they're gonna, if, if you're gonna allow 19 year old boys to live with 19 year old girls.
Chris Woodward Yes.
Tim Wildmon I like. And all they got to do is claim to be a girl to live in the sorority house. Yeah, that's gonna, that's gonna be an uptick in. Man.
Ed Vitagliano You said.
Tim Wildmon Does my reasoning not hold up?
Ed Vitagliano You said at the beginning when Chris was saying this young man, wanted to, Wanted to be in the sorority.
Tim Wildmon Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Who wouldn't? And I was thinking. Well, you wouldn't. I wouldn't. and none of the other married guys here would. But you're talking about single men. Yeah. In a college, at a college setting.
Tim Wildmon Listen. Who are pretty, pretty high on hormones. About that age. Am I right?
Ed Vitagliano Yeah, yeah, that's.
Wesley Wildmon There's a problem.
Tim Wildmon Yeah, there's a potential problem.
Chris Woodward And this is Wyoming too. It's not Berkeley.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. It's one judge though. I bet it'll be overruled. but how long has that taken to get through the court?
Chris Woodward it's been at least three years.
Ed Vitagliano And part of, part of the problem with these is these happen in college. And by the time these young ladies get any kind of legal satisfaction, they're out of college. Their lives have already been.
Tim Wildmon They're only doing it for those who come behind them, so to speak.
Chris Woodward Yeah, I will say this too, and I'll keep it pg. But among. We've actually talked to members of the sorority in our coverage of this in the past. I couldn't find that audio. but they were talking about how, you know, they're at home wearing their pajamas and stuff. Like that, like any of us would do, when we're, you know, in our own homes and whatnot. And they talked about how Artemis was. He seemed excited, to be around the girls in their pajamas and really it made them even more uncomfortable. Yes.
Tim Wildmon Imagine that, a 19 or 20 year old boy.
Chris Woodward Right.
Ed Vitagliano Thank you for that. That PG.
Tim Wildmon Let's move on.
Chris Woodward Yes. I mean I had.
Tim Wildmon Well, that's, family friendly as you could get there, Chris.
Wesley Wildmon You notice I'm quiet.
Tim Wildmon Yeah, you're quiet. Chris is going to move on to.
President Trump opens door to 600,000 Chinese students among Beijing trade talks
Wesley Wildmon The next story you don't have as in right now.
Tim Wildmon Chris.
Chris Woodward Okay. There is a Fox News story here. President Trump opens door to 600,000 Chinese students among Beijing trade talks. Several people have been concerned about the large number of Chinese Communists studying, here in the US at our universities. But President Trump appears to be okay with allowing at least 600,000 Chinese students, and it could be because of the ongoing trade talks with Beijing.
Tim Wildmon Okay, I was booing, from the gallery, from the peanut gallery here. This is, I don't have a problem with, with people, from around the world, students from around the world coming to the United States to study. Study even from China.
Wesley Wildmon Go back.
Tim Wildmon Even from China or other countries that aren't American friendly necessarily. I don't have a problem with that. I'm booing because, I don't like President Trump using the idea of allowing 600,000 Chinese students to come here as a negotiation, as a negotiating tool when it has to do with trade. Does that make sense?
Ed Vitagliano Yes, it does. And, and let me just, utter a, an opinion that's different from yours.
Tim Wildmon Okay.
Ed Vitagliano I do have a problem with people coming here from countries that are our enemies.
Tim Wildmon Now China's not our enemy, are they? Well, we tried with them like crazy.
Ed Vitagliano We, we do.
Wesley Wildmon Well, we should. That doesn't mean we should though.
Ed Vitagliano I've, I view them as, as an existential threat to our country. I think they are. And according to their, according to military sources, the Chinese have made it clear that they are preparing their military to take Taiwan by 2027. And when that happens, I believe they will attack our bases in the western Pacific and might float a weather balloon over the Midwest. Who knows what they're going to do and detonate an emp.
Chris Woodward I.
Wesley Wildmon You don't have stories. Go ahead.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah, and they are building up their military to such an extent that they literally threaten the US Military in the Pacific.
Tim Wildmon I also believe they don't call you encouraging it for nothing.
Ed Vitagliano Yes. So I also Believe Iran's a threat. North Korea is a threat. Some of these countries that are clearly our enemies, I think we should send their students home. And because you know what? It's not our fault that their country wants to do us harm. And so we look askance at students. This, this, what President Trump is doing is wrong. Okay? This is wrong. Letting 600,000.
Tim Wildmon He's not doing it yet. He's suggesting it. Right. Am I right or is he doing.
Chris Woodward Well, he's, he's shifting his tone on the issue, so he's moving in that direction.
Tim Wildmon All right, hold on. Shifting tone. Which way?
Tim Ferriss: President Trump's move on Chinese students is a mistake
Chris Woodward Well, we got to remember earlier this year, you had people like Secretary of State Marco Rubio, under the direction of President Trump, announcing plans to revoke visas for Chinese nationals, particularly those tied to the Chinese.
Tim Wildmon Excuse me for interrupting here. Just, I'm, trying to clarify this situation. So yesterday, President Trump said what?
Chris Woodward He said, quote, him, quote, I hear so many stories that we're not going to allow their students. We are going to allow their students to come in. It's very important. 600,000 students. It's very important. Important. But we're going to get along with China.
Wesley Wildmon All right?
Ed Vitagliano That's what I think is wrong, because there's already, like, almost 300, 000 over here right now, and a lot of. And listen, China's buying up land around our military bases. I have zero doubt that if we were ever. And I'm like you, Tim, I hope we can get through this time, without a war with China. Okay? But if there ever was a war, I have no doubt, I have zero doubt that many of these young military age m. Young males are over here for the express, express purpose of being a fifth column and wreaking havoc in our country to keep us busy while our military is trying to fight the, the Chinese. I, I don't trust them. Because they're communists. I know I sound like I'm from the 1950s, but I don't trust communists. Yeah, they are materialists. They believe we're animals. They have no Christian morality restraining them. They're going to, Communists will do whatever it takes to beat their enemy and, and so subjugate their own people. Yes.
Tim Wildmon With, with brutal authority.
Ed Vitagliano Yes. So I, I, this is a mistake on the part of the president. I wish he would. I wish he would find other things to give. I don't mind trading with China at this point, but that. Listen to. The Chinese have stolen our intellectual property. There's all kinds of things.
Wesley Wildmon Well, they've embedded spies, and not just like three decades ago, as in, like last month.
Ed Vitagliano Right.
Wesley Wildmon July.
Chris Woodward I mean, well, and keep in mind, too, that a lot of people from America or other parts of the west come, here and they go to one of our universities and then they graduate as a Marxist, pretty much like they've been indoctrinated. So you may end up with a situation where you have a Chinese Communist that comes over here doing things he or she shouldn't, and then you have the person that grew up on the cul de sac, in, you know, middle America that's, going to be ideologically with these people.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah.
Chris Woodward They're not going to take up arms again.
Ed Vitagliano I think this is. Listen, I love. Tim says this a lot. I love 95% of what President Trump's doing. He is heroic in what he's trying to get accomplished in a very short amount of time. But this is a mistake.
Wesley Wildmon It's a bad one.
Ed Vitagliano This is, this is not a good move. That's my personal opinion.
Wesley Wildmon And I hope that enough people make him aware of that, that he doesn't do it.
Ed Vitagliano Yes.
Tim Wildmon Yeah. But you know how Trump is. as I say with President Trump, you go, good, good, good. Great. Good. And then you go, good night. What are you doing? Huh? he said what?
Ed Vitagliano Yeah.
Chris Woodward yeah.
Tim Wildmon so that's just the way he rolls.
Ed Vitagliano Well, he's. Listen, he's bold. He's very bold. He thinks outside the box. At times, he's brilliant, but nobody bats a thousand.
Tim Wildmon I know, but, like, look what he did with Iran.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah.
Tim Wildmon Went over there and bombed their nuclear.
Ed Vitagliano Yeah. that was a brilliant.
Chris Woodward Yeah.
Tim Wildmon Bold and bold move.
Ed Vitagliano I mean, courageous movie.
Tim Wildmon He does things like that that probably most. That most other presidents would not do.
Chris Woodward Yeah.
Ed Vitagliano Nobody else would. George Bush.
Tim Wildmon So with any, like, with any leader.
Wesley Wildmon Even done this yet, he just said he.
Tim Wildmon Right. That's what. I don't think he'll do this. I did he. His point was he's probably wanting to butter up, the. Is it she. What has he. Jinping the leader of, China, basically, the president. He's wanting to butter him up, so he can have an Art of the deal moment or something. I don't know.
Tim Ferriss: Trump needs to take three days off from talking to press
Chris Woodward Yeah.
Tim Wildmon But, you know, that's, that's, that's. He says Trump says things oftentimes he has no intention of doing, but he just throws it out there. And, you know, nobody talks more to the press in the history of being true than Trump. And in fact, I told somebody the other day, I said, Trump needs to take three days off from talking to the press at all.
Chris Woodward Yeah, just put a lid on it.
Tim Wildmon Just put a lid on it for three days and say it. I don't have anything to say.
Chris Woodward We're about to go into a holiday weekend. That was a good time.
Tim Wildmon I don't have anything to say about anything.
Wesley Wildmon I don't have anything to say.
Tim Wildmon Today's Friday. I'll be back. Unless, no, not unless anything. whatever happens, I'll be back on Tuesday to talk to y', all, media folks. but until then, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go golf or I'm gonna go visit, one of my, you know, homes.
Ed Vitagliano Well, members of the media, they need a few days break to find their heads after they spin off, you know, sometimes. How do you find it?
Tim Wildmon How many heads do you have?
Ed Vitagliano You know, how do you find that.
Tim Wildmon They need to find themselves?
Ed Vitagliano Yes.
Tim Wildmon Am I right? All right. You're listening to today's issues.
