| I just want to ask a couple of questions here and then go to your calls. | |
| Got a lot to talk to you about. | |
| David Cortman is senior counsel at a group that I have great respect for, Alliance Defending Freedom. | |
| You know my view, folks. | |
| Good people are divided among three groups. | |
| Those who fight, those who help the fighters, and those who do nothing. | |
| Those who do nothing is always the largest group. | |
| Those who help are as important as those who do the fighting. | |
| And I think, how do people get to your website and help you out? | |
| It's simply ADF, Alliance Defending Freedom, ADFlegal.org. | |
| And they get all the information on all of these cases that are going on and all the other cases across the country that we're... | |
| ADFlegal.org. | |
| Okay, final question. | |
| I live in California. | |
| What is the story in the biggest state with regard to churches? | |
| California, like other states, has not been religion friendly. | |
| There have been several suits up and down the entire state. | |
| So that's still a work in progress. | |
| And one of the things that we do is we look at whatever state is not treating religious freedom like it should, regardless of what faith you are. | |
| And so California is in the midst of legal battles and probably will continue to be so because they don't seem to be responding as they should to abide by religious freedom principles. | |
| Okay, let me just say, because a lot of clergy listen to my show, because I'm such a big ally of theirs. | |
| I don't understand why priests, ministers, and rabbis do not make this announcement. | |
| We are opening up next Saturday or next Sunday for services. | |
| Nobody has to come if you feel that you are vulnerable to COVID. Or just uncomfortable with the idea, please do not come. | |
| But we are opening up. | |
| And if we are arrested, so be it. | |
| I don't understand. | |
| I truly just don't understand why rabbis, priests, and ministers don't make that announcement. | |
| And there have been some... | |
| There was one state, I believe it was Minnesota, that many of the states, in fact, hundreds of the states' churches... | |
| Got together and sent a letter to the governor and basically said, look, you know, we're trying to do our best here, but we're going to be meeting this Sunday. | |
| And they got together and worked it out. | |
| And so, you know, people have different comfort levels. | |
| Some of them file a lawsuit. | |
| Some of them go ahead and open. | |
| Some of them, you know, reach out. | |
| But I agree with you. | |
| I think there's something that has to be done because I think the authority that's been grabbed by some of our state leaders is really quite remarkable during this time. | |
| The great work. | |
| You folks are vital to this country. | |
| Well, thanks for having me on. | |
| You're welcome. | |
| ADFlegal.org. | |
| Find out what they're doing. | |
| And to help them out, they're very good. | |
| Jack Hibbs and Rob McCoy are two dear friends who are pastors. | |
| They have done what I have said. | |
| I'm sure others have, but they're the ones that I know. | |
| I don't know any rabbis who have done it or any priests who have done it. | |
| It doesn't mean none have done it. | |
| I'm just saying I don't know. | |
| Anyway, courage is the rarest of the human traits, as you all know. | |
| I've said that all of my life. | |
| But if you're religious and you don't have courage, what the hell is the good of your religiosity? | |
| And I mean it. | |
| It's not a put down. | |
| I don't understand it. |
