=== President's Prayer Initiative (01:54) ===

[00:00:00]  You're on the president's list at the White House.
[00:00:05]  I think I've been there when you're there.
[00:00:07]  And what do you think the president's doing right?
[00:00:12]  Everybody talks about what he's doing wrong.
[00:00:14]  What do you think he's doing right?
[00:00:17]  Well, one of the first things he did right is he called us to a day of prayer.
[00:00:20]  In contrast to Governor Cuomo's God didn't do this statement, our president wisely called us to a day of prayer.
[00:00:28]  I'm so grateful he did.
[00:00:30]  But secondly, he's taking this seriously, as he should, and we all are taking seriously.
[00:00:37]  But thirdly, he's aware.
[00:00:39]  I really appreciate he's aware that there has to be an element of patchwork to this.
[00:00:43]  In other words, I grew up in a part of the country most people haven't been to, north central Kansas.
[00:00:48]  I'm a farm kid originally.
[00:00:49]  I live in San Diego now, but I'm a farm kid originally.
[00:00:53]  And Manhattan, Kansas, which is a town near our farm, should not have to go by the same rules as Manhattan, New York.
[00:01:00]  In other words, we have to adapt based upon the situation.
[00:01:04]  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.
[00:01:14]  So our president wisely recognizes that there are parts of the country that need to adapt to their own unique environment.
[00:01:22]  I think overall, the government leaders have done well.
[00:01:25]  We've only had a few governors and mayors that have become despotic, become tyrannical.
[00:01:30]  The mayor in, I mean, the governor of Michigan, it's a travesty what she's done.
[00:01:36]  The mayor of Greenville, Mississippi, went way beyond constitutional rights.
[00:01:43]  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.
[00:01:53]  As a general rule, they've done good.
