President's Prayer Initiative 00:01:54
You're on the president's list at the White House.
I think I've been there when you're there.
And what do you think the president's doing right?
Everybody talks about what he's doing wrong.
What do you think he's doing right?
Well, one of the first things he did right is he called us to a day of prayer.
In contrast to Governor Cuomo's God didn't do this statement, our president wisely called us to a day of prayer.
I'm so grateful he did.
But secondly, he's taking this seriously, as he should, and we all are taking seriously.
But thirdly, he's aware.
I really appreciate he's aware that there has to be an element of patchwork to this.
In other words, I grew up in a part of the country most people haven't been to, north central Kansas.
I'm a farm kid originally.
I live in San Diego now, but I'm a farm kid originally.
And Manhattan, Kansas, which is a town near our farm, should not have to go by the same rules as Manhattan, New York.
In other words, we have to adapt based upon the situation.
Social distancing, for example, in South Dakota, when the houses and the farms are 10 miles apart, is a very different thing than in New York City.
So our president wisely recognizes that there are parts of the country that need to adapt to their own unique environment.
I think overall, the government leaders have done well.
We've only had a few governors and mayors that have become despotic, become tyrannical.
The mayor in, I mean, the governor of Michigan, it's a travesty what she's done.
The mayor of Greenville, Mississippi, went way beyond constitutional rights.
We've had some attacks on some churches as well by certain counties and certain mayors in certain cities have unleashed their disdain on churches.
As a general rule, they've done good.
