Welcome to Today's Issues, offering a Christian response to the issues of the day.

>> Tim Wildmon: Here's your host, Tim Wildmon.

>> Jeff Chamblee: M. President of the American Family Association.

>> Tim Wildmon: Hey, good morning, everybody, and welcome to Today's Issues on the American Family Radio Network. That's the name of this here show, Today's issues on AFR. Today's Tuesday, April 28, 2026. And joining me in studio is Wesley Wildmon. Good morning, Wesley.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Good morning.

>> Tim Wildmon: And Krish Woodward.

>> Chris Woodward: Good morning.

>> Tim Wildmon: And not in studio is Ray Pritchard. Good morning, Brother Ray.

>> Tim Wildmon: Good morning, Tim. How you doing today?

>> Tim Wildmon: pretty good. I was watching the weather last night. You know, the older you get, the more you watch the weather. I don't, I don't know why. Why they.

>> Wesley Wildmon: No dots to connect.

>> Tim Wildmon: I really don't know why that is. so they were showing the, severe thunderstorms rolling through. They didn't touch you, though, did they?

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, they came through Kansas City and then moved east towards Chicago. And yesterday we were in Chicago over the weekend for a ministry board meeting. And we were driving back yesterday M Right into the teeth of those storms.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: And there was one point between, on the interstate between Springfield, Illinois and Hannibal, which is. There's sort of a deserted stretch of the interstate. And all of a sudden you hear, on the radio, which is telling you there's a tornado in your area. And it got so bad we couldn't see probably more than 10ft in front of our car. Pulled off the interstate, put on the, flashers. Yeah. And you know, at that point, Tim, the rain is coming down, the, the hail is hitting your car. You're kind of deserted there.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: And you don't know, should you, should you try to, quote, make a run for it? Because you look on the radar all you can. It's just red all the way around. So we stayed about 10 minutes there and I said, honey, Marlene, we're going to make a run. And we got back on the interstate and hightailed it out west, and then it cleared up. But it was honestly pretty scary.

>> Tim Wildmon: Was it nighttime when you were doing this?

>> Tim Wildmon: No, it was, late in the morning when we did that.

>> Tim Wildmon: I was watching the Weather Channel last night and we did. We weren't affected here in north Mississippi by much, but, the folks in the Illinois was just getting hammered.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: they were showing tornadoes, you know, against the lightning sky.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: In the background that looked eerie.

>> Tim Wildmon: well, we, you know, it's kind of a scary thing. We're in the middle of the storm and you know there, and they're telling you there's a tornado in your area. but the storm is all around you, so you really can't tell. You don't know whether to go left, right, right down back.

>> Tim Wildmon: You don't know which way to go, what to do other than shelter in place, as I say. But your shelter in place is on the side of the interstate.

>> Tim Wildmon: That's right. Say a prayer. Send that storm somewhere else.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right. Let it wipe out somebody else, but not me.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right. At least the last part.

>> Tim Wildmon: Let it send to some desolate part of the, that countryside. Right.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Kansas.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Well, you have a tornado story, Krish?

>> Chris Woodward: I do. Going with this, I'm reading from Fox Weather right now. Nearly 50 million under severe weather threat as storms reload after knocking at power to more than 300,000 large hail will be the main threat this afternoon.

>> Tim Wildmon: Where.

>> Chris Woodward: When storms begin to fire over the Arkalotex region with hailstones larger than 2 inches in diameter possible.

>> Wesley Wildmon: But you know where the ARC Electric, you know where that is?

>> Chris Woodward: The Genesis 6 where the arc elect.

>> Tim Wildmon: You learned that early on in American history.

>> Chris Woodward: I, I, I have a funny story, I think to share about the Arkal.

>> Tim Wildmon: Were you talking about where now the, our what now?

>> Chris Woodward: Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas region. Arkala, Tex. That's what it's called in meteorological speech

>> Wesley Wildmon: or in hunting terms, the flyway zone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a flyway zone. Where.

>> Tim Wildmon: Wesley Duck contest.

>> Chris Woodward: So I used to TV news. I worked in television before I took this radio gig and I used to work production when I was in college for a TV station in this viewing area here in northeast Mississippi. And I was running like the audio board and the meteorologist, was, he always talked about the Archala techs during his forecast and I thought it was some sort of like fancy big boy term that was way over my head because he's the chief meteorologist, just the guy making minimum wage run on the audio board. And then finally it dawned on me one day he was talking about Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.

>> Tim Wildmon: I got you. You know what? I'm 63. That's the first time I'VE ever heard that before. Give it to me slowly and I'll write it down. what do you call it now?

Doug Hunter: Arc latex is what hunters call flyaway zone

>> Chris Woodward: Arcalatex.

>> Tim Wildmon: Wait, that wasn't slowly.

>> Chris Woodward: Arc.

>> Jeff Chamblee: Arc.

>> Tim Wildmon: La Arkla Tex Arcla text. You know what? I'm gonna use that at lunch with

>> Wesley Wildmon: the Somehow you gotta.

>> Tim Wildmon: I'm server and see if they know what that's about. You know.

>> Wesley Wildmon: And I'm. And I'm looking at the map, right here in the pitch at the map of Well, the pitch of the arc latex.

>> Chris Woodward: Oh, Ray's gonna, Ray's gonna go to in n out and order an arc latex animal style.

>> Wesley Wildmon: And it really is, it really is the area in which duck, hunters call the flyaway zone. It's the same thing. So if you're a hunter, don't worry about looking it up. Yeah, I just helped you out.

>> Tim Wildmon: So the Ark. Ark La Tex is like Doug Hunter's heaven.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, I got you. When are you going? Are you already being. Is it over?

>> Wesley Wildmon: It's. It's over. So we got, you know, it's in the winter. Don't remind me. It's over and I have to wait.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Don't remind me. We're in college baseball season now though.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. You move on from, from killing glorious

>> Chris Woodward: type of year too.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right. For the state fans.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. All right. You're listening to today's issues. Thanks for joining us. especially you folks who live in the Ark La text. You like that right in there.

Chris Woodward: King Charles and Queen Camilla are in town today

All right, so anyway, a lot to talk about today. The Queen, and King of England.

>> Tim Wildmon: Are in. the architects. They're going to be exarcana today. Duck hunting.

>> Tim Wildmon: No.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Chris Woodward: actually enough. Woodward is a, is a. My people came from that part of the world.

>> Tim Wildmon: But is that a royal name? Woodward?

>> Chris Woodward: I don't. I don't think so.

>> Tim Wildmon: You think you're a common man.

>> Chris Woodward: It does mean somebody that guarded a wooden area. He was the ward of the wood. That's what Woodward.

>> Tim Wildmon: We don't want to get into last names. What they mean in our family history. Yes, for what? Anybody named Wild man doesn't want to talk about that. You understand that, right?

>> Chris Woodward: Yes, I did. Hey, Wood man story about your grandmother too, but, but Prince Charles, or King Charles, I should say, and his wife Camilla, they're in town to celebrate the relationship, long standing relationship between the U.S. and the U.K. as a matter of fact, this afternoon at around 3 Eastern, 2 Central, King Charles is going to address a joint session of Congress, which interestingly enough, is something his mother, Queen Elizabeth II did in 1991.

>> Tim Wildmon: Check out Melania's hat.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's her classic hat. She wears them.

>> Tim Wildmon: I'm not top, you know, observer of style, but that's pretty. That's a jf, not, a jfk. What I'm thinking about, Jackie, Jackie O type. Look there. I'm looking at the TV screen because the President is speaking. President Trump is speaking. And at the White House, I guess in King Charles, is he gonna. I guess he's gonna speak.

>> Chris Woodward: He will speak at some point during this, during this event, they did do a big rollout. we actually played God Save the King, which is the same song as God Bless America, different lyrics.

>> Tim Wildmon: Ray White, do you know why King, Charles is here? Sure.

>> Tim Wildmon: It's the, 250th anniversary. It's you know, this is the big. This is the. What do they call it? Sesquicentennial. Is that the right. I can't think of the right name for the 250th anniversary. But that's why the, that's why the King is here to help America celebrate our 250th anniversary victory over him. Kings ancestors.

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: So I'm here to celebrate y' all beating our fanny 250 years ago.

>> Chris Woodward: Hey, I need to, I need to correct something.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Top. Time heals things.

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. That's been a while.

>> Chris Woodward: I had to fact check myself and I need to correct something.

>> Tim Wildmon: All right.

>> Chris Woodward: God save the King. In the United States of America is my country. Tis of the. It's not God bless America. They're two different.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, thank you. Krish, back to you. We want to make sure we're accurate there. But, so.

Did King Charles wife become queen when Queen Elizabeth passed last year

So the King Charles, I guess will go from the White House with his wife, the Queen to. She did. Was she, You know, Queen Elizabeth passed last year. Right.

>> Chris Woodward: it's been in the last few years.

>> Tim Wildmon: Last couple years. Anyway. I don't know. We probably, four of us probably shouldn't get into this, but they. Because we don't know the answer. Probably, but I'll ask it anyway. So did the, the current queen. Did she become queen when Queen Elizabeth passed. Passed away?

>> Chris Woodward: She said what happened Queen when he became king.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, but we wouldn't have had two queens at one.

>> Chris Woodward: Correct.

>> Tim Wildmon: Because King Charles mom was Elizabeth.

>> Chris Woodward: Correct.

>> Tim Wildmon: That's correct.

>> Chris Woodward: And she passed in September of 22.

>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, it's been that long already. Wow. Okay. So. Right. Do you know how that works? So did. Did King Charles wife then become queen?

>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, I think it's exactly what. What Krish said. It couldn't happen until King Charles himself was, inaugurated. I'm not sure that's the right word for crown. The coronation.

>> Tim Wildmon: Coronation. Okay, here we.

>> Tim Wildmon: Here we have four Americans. I know.

>> Tim Wildmon: We don't know squat about this.

>> Chris Woodward: According to Reader's Digest, which is an American publication, she became queen consort immediately upon his accession, after the passing of his mother.

>> Wesley Wildmon: I'm just glad we're able to help the audience with this.

>> Tim Wildmon: Wesley, we were counting on you for a little, Royal.

>> Wesley Wildmon: This is not what I was prepared for.

>> Tim Wildmon: All you can bring is duck hunting. Yeah, you need to expand your horizons.

>> Wesley Wildmon: I'm doing that right now. I'm learning.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, you keep learning.

>> Tim Wildmon: How long will the king and queen be here in the States? What, two or three days?

>> Chris Woodward: I think so. Yeah. I'll Google that while you guys.

>> Tim Wildmon: Are they going to vacation with the Trumps or anything like that?

>> Wesley Wildmon: Or having tea?

>> Tim Wildmon: Having tea. That's British right there.

King Charles became king when Queen Elizabeth died. Correct. So prior to that, King Charles

All right, well, anyway, so the King and Queen of England are. Did y' all understand my question? I don't mean to belabor that point, but you had one Queen of England.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Chris Woodward: Yes.

>> Tim Wildmon: And it was Elizabeth.

>> Chris Woodward: Correct.

>> Tim Wildmon: So prior to that, King Charles. He was king. Right. Well, or was he not?

>> Chris Woodward: He became king when.

>> Tim Wildmon: When she died. Okay, I got you.

>> Chris Woodward: He was Prince Charles.

>> Tim Wildmon: So is his wife, now queen? Now the queen.

>> Chris Woodward: Correct.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, gotcha. All right, I understand.

>> Chris Woodward: And it's for these reasons that I'm proud to be an American, because we

>> Tim Wildmon: don't keep up with royal. Although the royal family in England is basically just, what do you call it? Figureheads. They're not. They don't have any real authority.

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: I mean, they're just ambassadors for their country.

>> Chris Woodward: Victoria, maybe her son Edward, that, followed her. Like, that was really the last time they had the power to do a lot of things.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. So it's interesting. They kept the royal family even though Britain no longer is ruled by a king. so anyway, it'll be interesting to see what he says at the White House in a few moments and then also when he, addresses the joint session of Congress. True.

>> Chris Woodward: Yes. And that's going to be this afternoon, if the Lord tarries. we plan to, cover that today.

>> Tim Wildmon: You know, something we don't know.

>> Chris Woodward: I always say that because no one knows.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, that's true.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's future. That's for the Book of James.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right? That's true.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Covered at our church on Sunday.

>> Tim Wildmon: I was paying attention.

>> Wesley Wildmon: I know.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Hey, but that means we'll have audio tomorrow.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. All right. On this show.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right. On this show.

>> Tim Wildmon: All right. You're listening to today's issues on American Family Radio.

Federal law enforcement agencies raid 20 Minnesota locations in efforts to eliminate fraud

So the King and Queen of England are in our country, for a couple days, two, three days. I'm not sure exactly how long they'll stay or what their itinerary is, but we will soon find out. What's your next story, Chris?

>> Chris Woodward: All right, this is a big story right now on afn.net, which is the website for American Family News. Federal, law enforcement agencies have raided more than 20 locations in Minnesota in the ongoing efforts to eliminate fraud. A lot of this information is coming from Fox News right now because the ap, perhaps for political reasons, is not wanting to do much of any way in the, in the way of news reporting here. but the businesses are largely owned by Somali immigrants, according to Fox, adding that a total of 22 search warrants have been executed in an operation not related to immigration violations. A lot of this stuff was exposed by this YouTuber and independent journalist Nick Shirley, the guy that found and located, places like the Quality Leering Center. and so, this task force, headed By Vice President J.D. vance, has secured, some search warrants to go in and raid these places.

>> Tim Wildmon: Who, what federal agencies in charge of that?

>> Chris Woodward: Yes, it's the, Department of Justice, and the FBI is involved.

>> Tim Wildmon: The criminal. Criminal posture.

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Homeland Security.

>> Tim Wildmon: What is, Krish, can you define for us, I know it's broadly and generally what fraud is, in this case, what would they be basically being accused?

>> Chris Woodward: Great question. So they are applying for and receiving federal funds to operate things, that are not legitimately doing what they said they were going to do. For example, a daycare or an autism center, places that are applying for, money and a grant, to operate things like that. They're not actually come, to find out operating a day.

>> Tim Wildmon: This is what we were talking about this few Months ago. because what, what has happened evidently, and it's probably not original with Minnesota that's probably going on and I'm sure

>> Wesley Wildmon: they discovered some in California as well.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, what happens is the that

>> Wesley Wildmon: was Nick Shirley's next stop after Minnesota.

>> Tim Wildmon: You talk about the YouTube YouTuber like the 20 year old. That's right. I don't know how old he is. He's going. But he, he's exposed more than 60 minutes ever had.

>> Chris Woodward: Oh sure, yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: But you got, I mean he, and he's just a one, guy out

>> Chris Woodward: with like a camera.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. But young man doing YouTube clips. But just so people understand basically what's going on. And again, there's so much fraud in our federal government. yes, exactly. We'd be shocked probably, or maybe not by all the fraud that goes on. But in this case, what they're accused of is. So the United States federal government sends block grants to states. Every state in the union gets them.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. Quite frankly, I've never understood why we send a dollar to Washington and we thank them for sending 50 cents back to us and call it a block grant. I've never understood that. But hey, in this case what, what would happen is. So the United States federal government sends our tax dollars to the state of Minnesota and the. Minnesota, the state of Minnesota again, that goes on in states all over America. And state of Minnesota is supposed to administer that. And so these daycares and other places that's been the one mostly in the news, apply for grants from the people administering the money.

>> Chris Woodward: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: And they submit their grants proposal. But they lie about what they're doing.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, they have a building, they have a shell.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right. They say they got students and as it turns out they don't.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Right.

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: As Nick Shirley, they're getting paid money by the government for students, that are supposed to be at their daycare centers in other places. But in reality there are no people, there are no kids there. Yeah, that's what was uncovered in this. But here's what happens is, they, I think especially with respect to the Somalis doing this and the Somalis, Somalis who immigrated to America, they're not the only ones who can fraud the government. We natural born Americans are pretty good at that too.

>> Chris Woodward: Right. Happens all the time, you know, so.

>> Tim Wildmon: But I'm just saying in the case of the Somalis there in Minnesota, who allegedly committed the fraud, what you do is if you're if you're found out, you just scream Racism. So this is how it works in America. So they just scream and you're just being racist because we're Somalis.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Right. Forget the fact we stole money.

>> Tim Wildmon: Stole money. But if you, but if you find out, if you find out we stole money, we're just going to say you don't like Somalians. You don't like Somalians. and that's the reason you're going after us. so that's how the liberals play the game there. But anyway, what we're saying, there's been a whole lot of other, activity the last 12 to 24 hours in Minnesota. They are. The feds are busting them.

>> Chris Woodward: Yes.

>> Tim Wildmon: And uncovering a lot of, fraud, going on in Minnesota and something

>> Chris Woodward: I think that doesn't work this time around. For the. Your racist, claims that we do hear from Democrats, the guy that signed off on these raids is a man of color, a person of color in cash. Patel, the FBI director.

>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Another thing that's a ruse.

>> Tim Wildmon: Most of the time that's a ruse to debert from the real,

>> Chris Woodward: Well, it works because the media will come and then they'll bring on somebody from a coalition to agree with him and.

>> Tim Wildmon: Go ahead, Westy, what were you going to say?

>> Wesley Wildmon: I was going to say that one of the best things about this, covering, this topic here is to be reminded that President J.D. vance, President Vice President J.D. vance was tasked over this, issue here specifically. And I have, I do have great confidence that he and his team will see this through because, if there was an, if the, if there was a Democrat in the White House and, or in, in some cases even some of the more moderate Republicans in the White House, this is something that you would either A, not hear about or B, you would hear about it, but then nothing would be done from it. But I feel really good about, about Vice President J.D. vance and his team overseeing this.

>> Tim Wildmon: You know, this is what Elon Musk was doing.

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: Exposing a lot of the waste m Use and fraud.

Tim Galloway: Several Minnesota daycare centers allegedly involved in fraud

Yes. Going on. Of course he got crucified.

>> Tim Wildmon: For that.

>> Chris Woodward: By the left early.

>> Tim Wildmon: By the liberal news media and the Democrats. For.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, they remember there was about a couple weeks there, they were going through the, the radical lefties and destroying Teslas.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Oh yeah. He made a lot of people upset. Elon Musk did. And they took it out on the cars.

>> Tim Wildmon: You know, Tim, this whole thing about what's going on up in Minnesota, I just make one point because people maybe could go, how Important is this. All right, put this in perspective. If you were talking about just one daycare center where they were running a scam or fraud one and it would not be worth our time. It wouldn't be in the news, we wouldn't be talking about it. But you're talking about multiple millions of dollars involving multiple daycare centers that were clearly frauds, fronts and scams. As you said, Tim, you don't need to be Somali to cheat the government that native born Americans, we can do that just fine. I want to point out that when you have fraud on this scale as has been alleged, somebody up the line, Tim, knew about this.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yes, they did.

>> Tim Wildmon: Somebody somebody up knew about this and either supported it or just turned a blind eye and said as long as you don't get caught, it's okay. I hope they not just go after these daycare centers, but I hope they catch whoever is up the line who is responsible for doing nothing.

>> Tim Wildmon: Amen.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Remember the whistleblowers.

>> Tim Wildmon: This is federal money.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right.

>> Tim Wildmon: This isn't just if this were the state of Minnesota, only in their own money, nobody would care outside of Minnesota. But this is federal tax dollars being sent to Minnesota in this kind of fraud going on. What are you going to say?

>> Wesley Wildmon: There's some of this is traced back to 2015 in which there was the first whistleblower then and every whistleblower since then has actually been a pretty, I wouldn't say radical, pretty strong left leaning Democrat. The whistleblowers are they basically they were saying listen, we got to stop. This isn't right. Regardless of party. Somebody's going to go to jail here if we don't stop.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, it was, and it was a, several. Several was brought to the attention of Governor Tim Waltz and he didn't do anything because he didn't want to, you know, upset the, his voter base there.

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah, one thing that is always the problem with spending and politicians is they'll, they don't care because there is an endless fund from people that are required by law to pay taxes. It's other people's money. That's the way they always view it. And it's not their problem because as you say, it's, it's creating a pet project that I can campaign on. I can go stand in front of the the fake learning center, and do a press event and look like I'm doing a great thing for my state.

American Family Radio takes a short break to thank our sponsor, preborn

>> Tim Wildmon: All right. You're listening to today's issues on American Family Radio. We're going to take our break right here.

>> Wesley Wildmon: We a little early. We support the FBI rating on. Keep going.

>> Tim Wildmon: Is it the FBI doing the raid?

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah, the FBI is now.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Get all the leering centers. Get them all.

>> Tim Wildmon: If you don't know what the layering center is, it was a. It was one of the places, in Minnesota that was discovered to be frauding the government and misspelled the sign outside the quote daycare said the. It was called the le a r ing center. which obviously whoever the sign maker was left out the end which is supposed to be the learning center. So it was. I'll show this picture of it and see the leering center. All right. we will be back with more of today's issues after this short time out.

Today's Issues comes from the American Family Radio Network

Hey, welcome back, everybody, to Today's Issues here on the American Family Radio Network on this Tuesday, April 28th. Almost May. May is almost here, amazingly so. It seemed like two weeks ago we were celebrating Christmas. That's how fast time flies.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Well, we have to wait a whole nother year for April Fools, so if you missed it.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, that's right. No whole nother year till April. But April's almost over. Tim, Wesley, Krish and Ray.

Tim Vitaglia: What does Philippians 4:13 mean

Ray, I forgot to ask you, before the top of the hour, can you give us two or three minutes from the Bible and something we need to hear.

>> Tim Wildmon: I was just thinking this morning about one of the most famous verses in the NewSong testament. Philippians chapter 4, verse 13. I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength. This is wonderful verse. I mean, we know it. Some. Some people may have it cross stitched up on the wall or you see it in memes. We have little songs and choruses about it. What does that verse mean? Context in the Bible is always king. To understand any verse, you got to read what comes before and what comes after. And in this case, In Philippians chapter 4, Paul, in the verse just before that, he's talking about how he has learned wherever he is, to be content. And it helps to remember that when Paul wrote Philippians, he was in jail In Rome, chained 24 hours a day to a Roman guard. It's not like he was sitting on the beach when he was writing this letter. He was in an uncomfortable, difficult, unpleasant, situation. He was there by the call of God. And Paul says, I've learned if I have money, to be content. I have learned if I have nothing, to be content. If I've got food, I'm content. If I'm starving, I am content. I will say two things real quickly. Number one, Paul did say, I have learned. It's not easy, it's not natural. I don't care how good a Christian you are, you go through hard times. God is teaching us something, and it is a great gift. One of the Puritan writers, Jeremy Burroughs, I think, called it the rare jewel of Christian contentment. He's right. To be truly content wherever you are today, on this Tuesday, listening to us, if you are truly content in what God has done, it is a rare jewel, a gift from God. It is something that's learned through the circumstances of life. So with that as background, what then does Philippians 4:13 mean? Ah, Paul is not saying, I can do all things as if to say, well, I can jump off a building and I'm going to learn how to fly and I'll be okay. No, you can't tempt God that way. It's not as if God is going to cancel the law of gravity just because you decided to jump off the building. Some people have tried that. It doesn't work. What does this wonderful promise mean? It means that whatever you face today, you're not enough to face it on your own. But if you rely on Jesus Christ, you can do whatever God calls you to do today. He will give you the strength, he will give you the wisdom. He will give you the grace. He will give you the compassion. He will give you whatever you need. So I say, if you're going through a, hard time, and there are some of our friends, Tim, who are going through difficult times this morning, look to Jesus, depend on him. Call out to him. Cry out to him. You can do whatever God calls you to do today, if you will. Do it in the strength that Jesus Christ provides, which means we can all live victoriously. Some of us today are singing and laughing and shouting, and some people hear that through their tears and the difficulty. It does not matter. Jesus will give you whatever you need to do, whatever he calls you to do today. This is the promise of God.

>> Whitney Vitagliano: Great question. Our Activate Kids is for ages 6 through 12. They're gonna be learning the same content in a more age appropriate way. So instead of really focusing on that lgbtq, topic that you might hear about in the main session, they're really just going to be learning, what is God's plan for the family? What is your part in your family? What is it, you know, how do we honor God with how you obey your parents? at this age in your life? The 13 years old and up is going to be in the main session, so those teenagers are going to be with Our adults, everything that we talk about and learn about in the main session is we believe completely applicable to those teenagers. And then for under six years old those are free, but they are going to stay with parents and guardians. Again this is a family conference. Hearing babies cry in the back is not a big deal. You're going to see families, you know, pushing their toddlers around in a stroller. So don't let that deter you. Just this is American Family association and so that's not going to be out of the ordinary.

Chris Woodward: Are kids gonna understand where Woodward came from

That's Whitney Vitagliano, joining us here. That's Tony's wife and Ed's daughter

>> Wesley Wildmon: in law and my assistant and.

>> Tim Wildmon: Your assistant. That's right. I wanted to. People are wondering how many Battaglianos you got working there. You know, they're second.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Really? Second to Wildmon?

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Quite frankly.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Well, when they bring their kids up here for sure.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Oh yeah, the Battagliano's can bring the kids.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right.

>> Chris Woodward: My kids don't know it yet, but they're gonna be interns.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's it. They don't know.

>> Chris Woodward: But it's gonna need some news copywritten.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Are they gonna understand where Woodward came from?

>> Chris Woodward: I, think I told them before. I think I've told them before.

>> Tim Wildmon: What, what, what's the heritage. What's the Woodward name? Heritage mean? What now?

>> Chris Woodward: Well, supposedly it's a Germanic name which a lot of people in England do have some sort of tie to Germany, through William the Conqueror back in like 1066. But anyway, you just said that

>> Tim Wildmon: because we don't know.

>> Chris Woodward: No, no, no, that's true.

>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, that's true. We have the conqueror. Where'd he come from?

>> Chris Woodward: Even King Charles has a Germanic heritage because a lot of the royals have ties to Germany.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, well, that would make sense, Ray. Right. The Germans. I'm going to get back to your. The Germans. I guess if you believe in westward expansion, they moved Germany over to, over to the Great Britain, the British Isles. Right, right.

>> Tim Wildmon: And then eventually some of them jump over here. Yeah. Came over here.

>> Chris Woodward: I wonder.

>> Tim Wildmon: Woodward. I like it.

>> Tim Wildmon: I wonder if, you know, that's where the. Is that. Well, who knows? The Anglos, you know, the Anglo Saxons.

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah, that's where that comes from. The Saxons were Germany.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. I wondered where that.

>> Chris Woodward: I don't know where Anglo come. Maybe that's England. I don't know.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, and then they are. And it's. Somewhere along the line, they lumped us all together and just called us white people. All right, we're just. Yeah, but we have our own identities. What you're telling.

>> Chris Woodward: Supposedly Woodward means, ward of the wood. It was somebody that guarded a wooden area like it was a soldier.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay.

>> Tim Wildmon: Now, a very important position.

>> Chris Woodward: I will tell you this. I hate how I say my name at the end of stories, because I always feel like I say grab or whatever. I've even had kids mock me before asking me if. If my last name was Squidward. But anyway, my wife. My wife's maiden name is Garibaldi. And to this day, I wish when I took, this job, I would have asked if I could be Krish Garibaldi, because that just sounds cool. I'm Krish Garibaldi.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Garibald Baldi.

>> Tim Wildmon: Garibaldi.

>> Wesley Wildmon: out of all the names.

>> Chris Woodward: In other news.

>> Tim Wildmon: In other news. You're listening to today's issues on American Family Radio. Enough of our family history. Inheritance.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Call that a moment with Krish.

>> Tim Wildmon: A moment with Krish Woodward. Garter of the wood.

>> Chris Woodward: Deep thoughts.

>> Tim Wildmon: That's right. Word of the forest.

>> Tim Wildmon: Ward of the forest. all right, what's your next story, Krish?

Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about President Trump that some people find tasteless

>> Chris Woodward: I want to get into the, the Jimmy Kimmel situation for a moment. There are some other stories we, can get to, and perhaps, time permitting, we will. But, Jimmy Kimmel, he made another joke that people will find, quote, tasteless, referring to the first lady, he called her, an expectant widow. Okay? And, don't take my word for it. Here is Jimmy Kimmel from abc, in this joke that some people find tasteless. Clip seven.

>> Jeff Chamblee: Our first lady, Melania is here. Look at Melania. So beautiful, Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.

>> Chris Woodward: Now people are.

>> Tim Wildmon: Was that on his late night show on abc?

>> Chris Woodward: Yes, it was. And somebody that was responding to it is, Washington examiner contributor and often on Fox, Joe Concha, who had this to say.

>> Jeff Chamblee: Clip 8 well, of course, Jimmy Kimmel doubled down clean. He is incapable of apologizing for his open wish that Donald Trump be assassinated. I mean, let's think about what he said again, which was probably courtesy of Jimmy Kimmel's wife, by the way, who serves as the lead writer of this distant third place late night comedy program. Quote, look at Melania. So beautiful, Mrs. Trump, you have the glow like an expectant widow. What else could any reasonable, sane and sober person possibly conclude except that being a call for Trump, who works as hard as anybody on the planet, appears to be in excellent health to be suddenly dead? Jimmy Kimmel is not a comedian. Know what he is? He's Hassan Piker with an ABC logo.

>> Chris Woodward: Now, the reason I bring all this up is because when we had Whitney on a minute ago, who did a fantastic job talking about the conference, Fox was running hard with David, Axelrod, the Obama advisor who ran the Obama campaigns in 2008 and 2012. Even David Axelrod says this was a, quote, tasteless joke and he's demanding that, Kimmel apologize.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, well, I don't know what happened in that story. Jimmy Kimmel, he was, he got into, was after Charlie Kirk goes assassinated. Right? He made a joke about that, right?

>> Chris Woodward: He did, he did. And he actually got suspended.

>> Tim Wildmon: or was it suspended?

>> Wesley Wildmon: Suspended, yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: go ahead.

>> Wesley Wildmon: It's. His type of comedy is not comedy. It's propaganda.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right? That's right.

>> Wesley Wildmon: And it's, and it's been going on for years. and you know, there's, he and

>> Tim Wildmon: Steven Colbert are the worst.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, they're the worst.

>> Chris Woodward: Colbert's going away.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, there's a lot. So let's just set aside the fact that we already concede that this is not comedy in the sense that we're shooting at both lanes or we're shooting at both parties or we're being objective and we're doing, you know, we're making fun of everybody. They're just one sided. They only make fun of the right, they only make fun of Trump. But that said, even that lane has its limits and wishing for, and are hoping for are making any type of comment to the death of President Trump. President, let's just say Trumper side, even if it's a Republican, the Death of a president is just unacceptable and shouldn't even be, allowed or considered.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, what are the chances that he would have said, oh, there's Myshel Obama. She has the happy look of an expectant widow. He wouldn't have said it and, and that wouldn't have been laughed at. And he probably wouldn't keep his job if he had said that or if he'd said, there's Hillary Clinton. She's got the happy glow of an expectant widow. this is vitriolic hatred that only goes in one direction. I don't see how you can. Even without what happened, even without that. This is way across the line.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: He ought to be taken off the air for. He's basically calling for the President's assassination.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, that's abc. he's on abc, right?

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: Let me look up for now.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Anyway, what did he say about Charlie Kirk?

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, there's something about. You remember that he said something. Jimmy Kimmel said something about Charlie Kirk's assassination. Making a joke about it, maybe thinking

>> Wesley Wildmon: we're pulling it up now. But I think he also included,

>> Tim Wildmon: He's just, he's a vile person, honestly, with the way his jokes are. His jokes are vile. Anyway, when it comes, they're just, just like that one. The look of a. Column. Melania Trump saying the look of a expectant, widow.

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah. Today's. Today's Late night host.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Glowing.

>> Chris Woodward: Look, I vaguely remember Johnny Carson and he would, he would, you know, joke about both parties, but it was kind of fair. I mean, it was fair and it was just, you know, a gentle nod and a joke to things versus the.

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, Jay Leno was, was, funny.

>> Chris Woodward: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: in his own way. And he wasn't, he wasn't mean spirited. and he would make jabs at different, President, Republican and Democrat. Right. But he wouldn't, he wouldn't, joke about assassinations or.

>> Tim Wildmon: It's impossible, it's impossible to even imagine Johnny Carson making a joke like that.

Chris: It's impossible to think about anybody with a decent morality

Or Jay Leno.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: In fact, it's impossible to think about anybody with a decent sense of morality.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: Saying something like that.

>> Tim Wildmon: You're listening to today's Issues on American Family Radio. Thanks for listening. What's our next story, Chris?

Cole Allen is accused of attempted assassination on President Trump at White House dinner

>> Chris Woodward: Well, I, I do want to mention that the, the suspect in the attempt, on the President's life and others at this, White House dinner over the weekend, he did appear in court yesterday and he's facing several charges. Cole Allen. I'm about, He's Facing several charges, one of them including an attempted assassination, on the life of the president, Donald Trump.

>> Tim Wildmon: How is he not shot and killed? I'd like to hear more about this story. He runs through the lobby of the. Of the. And nobody, Nobody shoots him.

>> Chris Woodward: That is one of the, warranted questions out there, because not only was this another failure on the Secret Services part, the guy or guys in charge of protecting the president didn't even hit him with the gun that they shot at him with it. Bizarre.

>> Tim Wildmon: so I saw the video we all have now, right. Of the guy. Now he's running fast. He's dad.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: He's dashing across. What if he had an ambush right now?

>> Wesley Wildmon: It's an ambush. I mean, they can't. I mean, he's coming.

>> Tim Wildmon: What if he had had a suicide

>> Wesley Wildmon: jacket on the whole things.

>> Tim Wildmon: The hotel ballroom comes down.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah. If it's an, Islam, terrorist or Islamic terrorists. Yep.

>> Tim Wildmon: You can. I mean, they did. The Islamic terrorists. The reason you mentioned this, they're known for suicide bombing.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: Because they think they're going to paradise if they kill in the name of Allah. That's been going on for a long, long time. But I just. Ray, I just thought about that. This whole thing is scary to think about what could have been.

>> Tim Wildmon: Is it. Is it absolutely established that he was, quote, a lone wolf gunman? Is it. Is it a fact that he was doing this all by.

>> Tim Wildmon: He's the only one that showed up.

>> Chris Woodward: As of right now, that is what it appears as based on the evidence and the comments from the US attorney and others.

>> Tim Wildmon: He. This guy came from Californ, California to Washington D.C. on a train.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: And then checked in to the Washington Hilton Hotel where the event was. Right. Stayed at the hotel, which, again, to me, I'm just flabbergasted that you bring the president and I don't know who makes these decisions, but. Wow. You bring the president and the vice President on the same podium, Right. In a hotel, and you're telling me that the guests aren't forced to check out at least 24 hours before the event?

>> Tim Wildmon: You know, that's not. Tim, that's not really feasible, is it? To. It's not feasible to do what you. What you just said. It seems to me that if we want to prevent this in the future, we got to move it away from a hotel to an auditorium somewhere.

>> Tim Wildmon: the Kennedy center maybe or something like that.

>> Tim Wildmon: I don't know. There's a lot of auditoriums in Washington.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right, Right. The hotel is too Open.

>> Chris Woodward: The Trump Kennedy center is currently closed for renovations. you could do it in like the arena where the Wizards, play or something.

>> Tim Wildmon: Sure.

>> Wesley Wildmon: We get kind of cat. We kind of gloss over this after so many. But let's just step back for a minute. This is three now attempts of assassination into the President of the United States within the last what, 18 months.

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, whenever he ran for prep, whenever the Butler, Pennsylvania. That was the first one.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right. So you got three there. Not God's horse.

>> Tim Wildmon: And then now this.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Right. Not to mention Charlie, Kirk was assassinated. That's. Those are high profile ones. There are countless other ones of conservative or just Republicans. Conservatives, who have been. Had an attempts at their lives and, or been effective. And I don't, I didn't do a deep research, but if it is, it's not being covered that this is being done in the other direction. You're not seeing Republicans. Here's one. I'm just popping off here.

There were no attempts on President Obama's life during the shooting

I don't have any notes here.

>> Tim Wildmon: In other words, there were no attempts on. That we know of on President, Obama's life.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: From people who were crazed on the, on the crazy right wingers.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Right. And I don't have any notes here, but there was a Republican, party member, remember there was a shooting at the baseball field just about eight, seven years ago.

>> Tim Wildmon: The Republican congressmen were practicing, were practicing

>> Wesley Wildmon: baseball and there was a shooter came in there and ended up. And he hit, he hit one of them.

>> Chris Woodward: Steve Scalise.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Steve Scalise. yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: Could have been a lot, lot worse.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah. Shooter walks in, frc, shoots up the place and has. Uses SPLC hate list as a means of his, another violent left

>> Tim Wildmon: winger is what you're saying.

>> Wesley Wildmon: I mean this goes on and on from the, from one side for violence, but yet at the same time words are violence. That's what they say on the left.

>> Tim Wildmon: If you're talking about anything that you

>> Wesley Wildmon: say this in a sin, they're going

>> Tim Wildmon: to say words are violent when they. The left, far left are the ones committing the actual act.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah. Think about the Summer of Love. blm, I mean they destroyed millions of people's jobs. they shot. David Dorn was an officer that was shot by BLM actors in St. Louis. Right. Yep. I mean it's just.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right. Yeah. So anyway, so in this situation, you got, the event. So the guy's gonna be tried. He's gonna go to jail.

>> Chris Woodward: Oh yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: Prison for a long, long time. but the, I think the days of having an event like that at a hotel again, especially with all those cabinet officials there, including the President and the Vice President in the same place. I'm surprised that the Secret Service allowed that.

>> Tim Wildmon: Cause you know, you always hear about, you don't need to have the VP and the President in the same cabinet members building. Yeah.

>> Wesley Wildmon: We'll be back.

>> Tim Wildmon: We'll be back momentarily. Stay with us.
