You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
Nothing you can make the company made.
No one you can say but come to save.
Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy.
All you need is love.
Love.
Love is all you need.
It's Valentine's Day weekend, everybody.
And I have tailor-made the bumper music to each individual guest.
And for Courtney's, we have the Beatles.
And she and I engage in a battle she could never win when it comes to the four seasons versus the Beatles.
But nevertheless, I will concede that the Beatles were a pretty good band.
And that was, of course, all you need is love.
It is Valentine's Day weekend.
I hope you're having as much fun as we are tonight.
Even Sam Bushman, who was trying to calculate his hours in radio, I think it's like 25 million hours, he said in the last commercial break.
25,000, maybe.
He said, this is the fastest two hours he can remember.
And it has been a fun show tonight with so many incredible ladies.
Lana, Lacey, Kim, still become Janice.
Now Courtney from Alabama, one of our all-time favorites.
And Courtney, it's great to have you with us, especially this weekend.
Thank you for having me.
I barely made it on the show.
That shows how committed I am.
I had a fun family event earlier, the Mardi Gras-related event.
My parents came in town.
And traffic is usually crazy trying to leave those events.
But I'm home now, barely have the kids in bed.
And my throat's a little scratchy, but that's not stopping me from doing the show.
Well, you have really powered through tonight, and I appreciate that.
I thank you on behalf of the entire audience tonight.
Thank you for having me.
Now, do you hear me okay, Sam?
Sam, but I found it a little distant a minute ago.
You're sounding good now.
We hear you loud and clear, and happy Valentine's Day weekend.
This is a very special broadcast of TPC, and we wouldn't do it without you.
And you know that our topics tonight include dating, women in the workplace and in politics, marriage, families, on and on and on.
And you have a great perspective, as all of our guests have had tonight.
And let's let you take it where you want to go.
Okay, you might need to help me with what I have in my notes a little bit.
I wasn't able to go back over them.
I just got home.
But I'll start with dating.
If I need a reminder on anything, I might ask you real quick.
I'll read it verbatim.
But, well, no, I think you can just throw me hints here and there.
But I think I remember everything I sent in the outline to you about dating.
Basically, and again, I apologize to the audience if my throat is a little scruffy tonight, but basically my approach to dating is, you know, as bad as things are in the dating field right now, you can't.
You can't look at it as, you know, from a victim perspective.
You have to always be focusing on how you can better yourself in the dating market, whether you're a man or a woman.
And to use a good example of this, my father, you know, when I was growing up, my father always gave me such good advice for everything.
You know, God bless the man.
He gave me and my siblings excellent advice.
Well, growing up, you know, I was always the shy, timid kid in the family, very sensitive, always crying.
And my siblings, you know, were tougher.
And when I would get, when we would get in arguments, you know, they would say mean things to me.
And I was always the one crying and running to my parents.
And after a while, it got to the point, you know, when I was a kid, they would baby me over it.
But, you know, when it got to the point where I was a teenager, my, you know, my father sat me down and said, you know, you can't blame your siblings anymore for your feelings.
You have to take charge of them.
You're a teenager.
You're 18.
You're an adult.
It's your own fault if you let them control your feelings and make you upset.
And that is what I apply to the dating world.
You know, as hard as it is, you can't, you either have to improve yourself in the dating market, improve yourself as a person, you know, get in shape, you know, all sorts of things.
Or you have to lower your standards and who you're looking for.
You have to do one or the other.
If you sit at home and you complain all day about how horrible the opposite sex is and you make yourself a victim.
And yeah, that's fun to do as far as misery breeds company.
You're going to, you know, you're going to find friends on the internet who have the same gripes with the opposite sex or, you know, or in your living room, you know, you can invite friends over who have the same gripes with the opposite sex, whether you're a man or a woman.
But, you know, that's nice for a little bit.
But at some point, you have to take charge of your life in order to get out and find the right person.
You have to stop blaming the opposite sex and how horrible they are.
You have to improve yourself as a person.
And if you're not willing to do that, you need to lower your standards.
And I can tell you right now, every single person I've known, both male and female, every single person I've ever known, male and female, who just complains and complains about how there's no good women out there.
There's no good men out there.
They're a woman.
You know, I see it on both sides.
And it goes on and on for years.
You know, I always notice that these people are trying to go after people in the dating field who are way out of their league.
And in the meantime, they're not doing anything to improve themselves.
They're not getting in shape.
They want to date the supermodels, but they're not in shape.
Or, you know, for women, you know, for women, it's like a woman who's almost 40 and single and she's completely cutting out all the men over 45 in her dating field.
Oh, they're too old.
They're ugly.
Well, you're a 40-year-old woman.
You kind of have to broaden your horizons a little bit.
You know, maybe even look at some 60-year-olds.
And so, you know, I see it on both sides.
And it's just really, you know, to give loving advice to my fellow wives who don't have mates.
And there's too many, you know, both male and female out there who have the same complaints.
Well, it's not the same types of complaints, but you know, and I just, I mean, that's the most loving advice I can give you.
I'm not trying to be mean, but you can't keep yourself in victim mentality your whole life.
You gotta, you know, you gotta either improve yourself or lower your standards in your search a little bit.
And I don't mean morally, I don't mean like that, but I mean, you know, if you're overweight, you shouldn't be trying to, you know, go after somebody who looks like a model, you know, whether you're a man or a woman.
And, you know, you have to take your age into consideration, stuff like that.
So that's the main thing I have to say on the dating stuff.
Courtney, I don't know if anybody has come to the program as prepared as you tonight.
We got to let people know we're going to have a three-hour Courtney versus Roger Devlin cage match coming up on the program.
No, I'm just kidding.
Well, we might.
We'll see.
But this is how it does stay tonight.
And we're talking with Courtney about dating, women in workplace and politics, marriage.
That's coming up next.
Stay tuned.
She'll be right back.
Hey, listen up.
This is a deep state alert.
Former Texas Congressman Steve Stockman, who moved to arrest Lois Lerner for contempt of Congress, has been imprisoned by the very office that Lerner led.
You heard right.
Stockman hit the Obama administration hard and they hit back with the full force of the federal government.
The guy who said he wanted Mark Levin as Speaker of the House was the first to threaten Obama's impeachment, exposed Hillary's selling steel to the Iranians, and blocked both Obama's immigration and gun bills from even reaching the House.
But Obama holdovers came after him in federal court with trumped-up charges and have locked our guy up.
Like many others, he was on Obama's hit list.
Steve fought for us in Congress.
Now we need to fight for him.
Don't abandon this wounded hero on the battlefield.
Let's help cover his massive legal costs.
To chip in five bucks or more, text the word fight to 444-999.
That's fight, F-I-G-H-T to 444-999.

You know where the solution can be found, Mr. President?
In churches, in wedding chapels, in maternity wards across the country and around the world.
More babies will mean forward-looking adults, the sort we need to tackle long-term, large-scale problems.
American babies in particular are likely going to be wealthier, better educated, and more conservation-minded than children raised in still industrializing countries.
As economist Tyler Cowan recently wrote, quote, by having more children, you're making your nation more populous, thus boosting its capacity to solve climate change.
The planet does not need for us to think globally and act locally so much as it needs us to think family and act personally.
The solution to so many of our problems at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.
Have we realized the assault against our lives, our liberties, our faith?
To defeat this assault, Christians and all people of goodwill should have strategies to prevail in our faith and principles, which are simple.
No need for a complex formula.
One goal, one aim.
A strategy like the heroic Christians of the past.
We win, they lose.
Nothing less.

I tell my eyes, look the other way, but they don't seem to hear a word I say.
And I go to pieces and I wanna hide.
Go to pieces and I almost die every time my baby passes by.
I tell my arms they'll hold someone new.
I love the love that will be true.
But they don't listen, they don't seem to care.
They reach for her, but she's not there enough.
Go to pieces and I wanna hide.
Go to pieces and I almost die every time my baby passes by.
I remember tragic song, and that is one of my favorites, has always been one of my favorites by Peter and Asher.
Peter and Asher, Peter and Gordon, Peter Asher.
What a song.
And I actually know that that has a song of special significance to Courtney.
Courtney, would you mind sharing that with the audience tonight?
I love that song too.
It's one of those songs.
Of course, as you know, my parents listened to the Beatles all the time when I was growing up, so that's why I like them.
But then that song there, you know, by the group you just mentioned, or the couple, the two guys, Peter and Gordon, that you just mentioned.
You know, my parents would play a lot of just like one-hit wonders from the 60s when I was growing up.
And that song in particular, I just have such good memories of sitting in their living room on a Sunday evening doing my homework.
My parents were cooking out and that song was playing in the living room.
I mean, it just brings back some of a lot of that music from that time brings back such wonderful memories just because my parents brought me up on it.
Well, that's the thing about music.
Sometimes a certain song can take you back to a specific moment in time so vividly that it elicits such a visceral reaction.
We'd like to dedicate that song to you tonight, Courtney, here from all of us at TPC to you.
That one was especially for you.
So let's get back to the topic at hand, though.
Well, you're welcome.
Women in the workplace and politics and marriage.
We've got a lot of ground to cover in eight minutes remaining.
So go ahead.
Oh, goodness.
First of all, women in the workplace, I don't, I mean, I don't think it's a good situation, obviously, for women to be there.
I don't, currently, the current situation, I really don't think most women are in the workplace because they're, you know, they're trying to be militant feminists.
I don't think that's why most of them are there right now.
There are some like that, and it's a problem, but I think most of them are there because they and their husband both feel like they have to be there to make the money to get by.
And it's unfortunate.
And I do think any couple who's in that situation, they should do whatever they can to become a one-income family where only the husband's working and the wife can stay home with the kids.
Me and my husband are trying to get to that point.
You know, I'll be honest about that.
I mean, it's good to try to strive for that.
If a woman is in the workplace, there are ways that she can be more feminine and more appreciated, you know, so that she's not a burden on the men she's around.
I've noticed that men really love it, you know, when a woman comes and asks them for advice on things.
It shouldn't be in a flirtatious manner.
It shouldn't be over a topic that's inappropriate.
But, you know, just like I've, I've, you know, at some of my workplaces, I've had stuff wrong with my cars before when I pulled up.
And, you know, whatever car I was driving, I would pull up.
And, you know, male coworkers were always so happy to, you know, they took an interest in it.
They're like, oh, what's wrong with your car?
And I was happy to tell them about it.
They were happy to go look at it for me.
You know, they volunteered to do it on their own and I let them do it.
And, you know, there are other things like that that come up where I think men enjoy it when women go to them for advice on things instead of the woman constantly lecturing them and telling them how to do things.
And, you know, and it's good for women to kind of be in more supportive roles, like secretaries and things like that, as opposed to trying to be at the top of the office.
I mean, I have no, I've never had any interest to move up to the top of any place I've worked.
You know, if you are stuck in that situation where you're a woman and you have to be working, I think it's good to try to stay in a supportive role and, you know, and to act supportive towards the men.
Go ask them for advice.
It makes them feel wonderful.
But again, make sure you stay in the realm of, you know, appropriate topics.
Because that's another thing I could go into.
Once you get into the area of flirting, you know, that's an area where men and women are very different.
And I think that's where we get a lot of this workplace sexual harassment garbage.
It's really not fair to men because, you know, I'm a woman.
I know how women think.
And I think a lot of times what's going on is women think they can, you know, they can tease a man.
They can kind of flirt with him.
And in their heads, and I used to, when I was in my 20s, I was naive enough to think this.
I thought, oh my gosh, he's coming to my office to talk to me just because he's interested in what I'm interested in.
He thinks I look pretty in this outfit and my eyes are pretty.
And every single time something like that happened and it ended up that they had other interests that were, you know, I don't need to say it on it or you can, and it's nothing against the man or anything.
It's just, it's just how it is.
It's not there for a woman to kind of tease and flirt with a man and for her to think it's innocent.
But then when the man tries to take the next step, you know, it's like she's like, oh my God.
He gets me too.
Yeah, it's not fair.
And I've never me too'd a man.
I've never accused a man of sexual harassment.
You know, I, because I understand how they are, you know, especially now.
And now I just avoid those situations altogether.
But in the past, when I would make that mistake, like when I would flirt with them and then, you know, and then I noticed, okay, it's going a little too far.
I would just, you know, what I would do is I would just cut off the situation entirely and I would stop talking to them.
And yeah, it made things uncomfortable.
And I regretted that it ever happened.
But no, not in any situation did I ever accuse them of harassment or me too them.
You know, there's a good way to just end the situation, take control of it, and don't let it go any further.
That's hashtag me too.
Hashtag me too.
But hey, listen, we've got 60 seconds remaining.
We could have gone an hour with any of you ladies.
Can you believe it?
I mean, as Sam Bushman said, after 25,000 hours in radio, he said the last two hours have been the fastest ever.
But we have like 60 seconds remaining.
Marriage, you had some great talking points on marriage.
We can't get to them all.
I regret that we could have gone an hour with any of you ladies tonight.
Give us 60 seconds on marriage.
I think it's good too, if you're a woman, you know, and I've learned this being married.
You know, you should never, if your husband is arguing with a man, another man in front of you, don't butt in and ever take the other man's side.
Even if you feel like your husband is wrong in that situation, you can talk to him about it later.
Never take the other man's side in front of your husband.
It's just not fair and it's not right.
And for both sexes, if you're having problems in your marriage and you need somebody to talk to you, never go to somebody of the opposite sex.
That is very inappropriate.
Go find somebody you can confide in and you're, you know, of your own gender.
And what you say to that person is really the other person, none of the other person's business.
If my husband goes to his guy friends about certain things, it's none of my business what they talk about.
And also, you should limit how often you run to your parents about things.
I've learned that too.
That should be limited.
So that's, I wish I could have said so much more, but those are the main things I remember.
Well, what fantastic, learned advice from our ladies tonight.
And what a cast of ladies.
My wife, Lana, Lacey, Kim, Courtney, Philicum, Janice.
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful presentation you've done tonight.
I have enjoyed this, like Sam said, as much as any show I've ever done.
And I've done a lot.
And I'm so glad you're a part of it, Courtney, as you have been for so many shows throughout the years.
You're part of our fabric.
You're part of our culture here at TPC.
You're part of our family.
We love you dearly, and we can't wait to talk to you again.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio, USA Radio News.
With John Hunt.
Federal agents who patrol the U.S. border will deploy to sanctuary cities across the country where local jurisdictions are hindering immigration enforcement.
The deployment of customs and border patrol agents, some with tactical training, to the interior of the country, represents another escalation in the confrontation between the Trump administration and the local jurisdictions that have set up roadblocks to immigration enforcement.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Matthew Albions said additional forces are needed because people without legal authorization to be in the country are being released from local jails into sanctuary cities before his agents can take them into custody.
The acting director did not disclose when or where the agents would be deployed, but an official disclosed details not provided in the statement saying this major sanctuary cities such as San Francisco, New York, Atlanta, Boston, and Detroit will be in fall.

A former federal prosecutor's reacting to the Stone sentencing recommendation with that story.
Here's USA Radio's Tim Burg.
The debate continues in Washington, D.C. over the sentencing of Roger Stone.
Stone, a longtime friend of President Trump, was convicted for lying to Congress, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering.
The Justice Department has overruled the seven to nine year sentence recommendation prosecutors have made in the case.
Robert Ray is a former federal prosecutor.
He tells Fox News the sentencing guidelines did seem a bit stiff.
The president has the absolute right to step into this.
And for what it's worth, I happen to agree that the sentencing recommendation was too severe.
So the president's right, the attorney general's right, and for what it's worth, I agree with them.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is now endorsing Bernie Sanders for president, a move that puts him in a position to become the leading voice in opposition to Sanders' newest rival, Mike Bloomberg, his predecessor in leading the nation's largest city.

I love my calendar girl.
Yeah, the sweet calendar girl.
I love my calendar girl.
Each and every day of the year.
January, you start the year off fine.
February, you're my little Valentine.
I'm not going to march you down the aisle.
You're the Easter money when you smile.
Yeah, yeah, my heart's in a whirl.
I love, I love, I love my little calendar girl every day.
Every day.
Every day, every day of the year.
Well, we could certainly repurpose those lyrics and tell you, our listening audience, how much we love you every day of the year.
That was Calendar Girl by the immortal Neil Sadaka.
We actually had a chance to see him live in concert.
My wife and I, my son, he was still a newborn back then.
My daughter, we were there.
And we actually met him after the show.
Great guy.
Got a picture with him.
And anyway, great music anyway.
And it is Valentine's Day.
Every day of the year, we love you.
We respect you.
We appreciate you, ladies and gentlemen, in the TPC listening audience.
We actually have a very special audience tonight.
This is a very special show.
My wife has been with me for the entire three hours tonight in the studio.
Very rare indeed.
Although I can remember back when we first went on the air, she actually came with me to the studio.
Do you remember this?
Probably.
Hang on.
Get the mic back up.
Do you remember this?
No, no, we were there.
We were there.
I know what you're about to say.
No, well, you sat in my lap the entire show.
Not in that kind of way.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
Because you needed a chair.
But no, we did a show.
Just, you know, on my knee, like, you know, Santa Claus.
But that was a long time ago.
That was a very long time ago.
And you've been with me ever since.
And all the memories.
And now I'm here.
We're back here tonight in the studio for the entire three hour show.
That was probably the last show you ever did the whole show with me.
And we have all of our kids in the room tonight, including the one in the oven and our adopted child from across the street from the house we used to live at.
Let's let the kids say hello because we got to get to our closer tonight.
Janice, who is a part of our family, if there ever was one, our son wants to say hello.
Henry, what do you got to say?
Hi, Daddy.
All right.
Henry.
All right.
Henry, what are you all about?
Tell us something about yourself.
Tell us about yourself.
How old are you, bud?
How old are you?
Five.
That's a radio host in the making, if I've ever seen one.
Let's give it to my daughter, Isabelle.
My daughter is the one who made me a father.
She is about to turn 10 next month.
She's nine.
Isabelle.
Hi.
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone.
That was good.
That was fantastic.
Thank you.
Well, you know, we wanted feminine and masculine names.
Isabelle.
Isabelle, we named after actually Queen Isabella of Spain, who commissioned Columbus's journey.
We made it Isabelle because of Southern Belle.
So it was a mismatch of Queen Isabella and Belle of Southern Belle.
So that's how we got Isabelle.
And Henry, because Henry means ruler of the house.
We wanted a strong, masculine European name.
You can think to King Henry.
And he is most certainly that.
Well, we also have our adopted daughter.
As we put it, not really, but it's a young lady we met when we lived at the house prior to the one we're in now.
And she was the across the street neighbor, and she's a sweet girl.
And she's always with us for sleepovers and special occasions.
And she's basically a de facto part of the family.
Say hello to everybody.
She's been over here every weekend since she was about five and she's 10 now.
So I would definitely say she's part of the family.
Best friend of my daughter.
And here she is.
So say hello and happy Valentine's Day to you.
Hello and happy Valentine's Day.
Well, with that, we'll send it over to Janice, who is our closer tonight.
And Janice, thank you for being with us.
It's always a pleasure to collaborate with you and Rich.
We love y'all.
You know we love you.
And we had the opportunity to break bread just a few weeks ago.
And it's always my privilege and honor.
Well, I've already told Richard that if Danny needs help and the baby comes, that he's going to have to let me come over and help her.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, I would say give me your number, but I don't need it.
I've got it.
And you can expect some text messages because we're short on help down here.
That's for sure.
Well, I knew she was.
I knew you guys were.
And yeah.
Yeah.
If you'll let me come, I'll come.
Oh, my goodness.
We're going to wear you out.
Well, the kids are passing around the headset.
Danny didn't even hear what you had to say.
Pass it over to mommy.
Hang on a second.
We're going to get to some substance here.
I know it's been a lot of fluff tonight, but it's been good stuff.
Well, anyway.
Hey, Janice said, if we need help, she's only a phone call away.
I said, we're going to be wearing out the number.
She might be sorry that she said that.
Hey, if there's babies and children involved, no, I will not be.
Oh, even.
Even if I have a very not a mother that can't get up and do everything, I'm okay with it.
Because if you have another.
Well, that is so kind of you.
A third baby, you know, you just don't know.
It might take a lot more out of you this time.
Well, we're a little bit older than we were when we had our first, that's for sure.
But you know what?
We talked about this.
Janice, of course, you and your husband are like family.
So, of course, you got the announcement before the general audience did.
But we talked about this.
We said, yes, you know, we wanted to let the audience know.
We always talk about how our audience is family.
We want to let the audience know.
Look, we're real people.
We practice what we preach.
We try to step up and do on the line what we encourage everybody else to do.
And so we wanted to make this an announcement tonight.
We just found out ourselves.
I mean, it's not like we've been sitting on this.
We found out like, what, two days ago?
But it is Valentine's Day weekend.
We love y'all.
Thank you so much for saying that.
And it just goes to show the kind of community that we have here at TPC because, you know, when I talk to you or when I talk to Rich, it's like talking to a grandfather or grandmother or a parent or a mother or father.
Don't put us up too far.
That is one thing I was going to say: is that I could have been the parent to every last one of those young ladies that you had on here.
Well, let's talk about that.
So you are the closer tonight.
And I put you in the last two segments for good reason.
You've got the experience.
You've seen a little bit more of life than we have.
But as you said, you're not that much older.
That's for sure.
Thoughts on what you've heard tonight thus far, what the ladies have had to share, and wherever you want to go from there.
Well, I was going to just bring out that my generation, women that were graduating high school in the early 70s on through the 80s, we were probably the first generation that we were almost forced to work.
A husband could not hardly afford to pay all the bills for the family back then.
And plus, we had the recession, we were still coming out of the recession from Carter years, and it was just really tough.
And I really like the fact that there are many men that are making that want their wives home to be a wife and a mother, and that they are willing to take the sacrifice of things over the well-being of their family.
Because it really is.
I mean, I had to raise my children and work the whole time.
And I really would have preferred to have been home and been a homemaker and actually homeschooled my children.
That's what I would have rather have done.
And it's just nice to see all these, you know, we have, what, two of them that are homeschooling their children and getting to stay home.
And I think that's wonderful.
And I'm sure when Lana's are old enough to be in school, she'll be her and Heinrich will be doing their schooling.
And then I think it was Lacey that brought out the whole thing about feminism.
It has been with us for a long time, and it actually started out with getting the women the vote, the right to vote.
I think that was a huge mistake in our government to let women vote because, as my mother, she voted for Kennedy because he was the cutest.
And we do those kind of emotional things.
We don't necessarily vote for who's the best candidate.
We don't look at what they believe or what they think.
But it really intensified in the 60s where it really worked on we must have everything.
You know, we, you know, there was an old commercial, you're probably way too young that the woman's out there, you know, she's bringing in the bacon and bringing it home and cooking it up.
I mean, it's a lie.
It's a lie for us to have.
We can't have everything.
And so I just, I'm glad that more and more women are not taking into that lie of the feminists that they can have it all.
Well, you certainly found the right program.
Sam Bushman, Sam, what was it, Sam?
Sam just came into my headset.
Bring home the bake and bring home the sizzling.
Sizzling.
Okay, there it is.
Well, listen, when we come back, Janice.
Fantastic woman, fantastic closer for the program tonight.
Not an unusual guest.
She's been on before.
She's going to talk to us about cognitive dissonance in the churches, how it applies to male-female relationships, politics, and of course, religion, and also finding love later in life.
We'll be right back.

I can bring home the bacon.
Tie it up in a pan.
I'll never let you forget your romance.
Each time we have a walk, it almost breaks my heart.
I'm so afraid that we will have a part.
Each night I ask for stars above.
Why must I be a teenager in love?
One day I feel so happy.
Next day I feel so sad.
I guess I learned to take all the good with the bad.
Each night I ask for stars up above.
Why must I be a teenager in love?
Well, folks, let me tell you something.
What a show it's been.
When you hear from a man like Sam Bushman, who no cutting has 25,000 hours in radio and say, this has been among the two and three most fast passing hours he's ever produced, that means something to me.
And it is all a result of the ladies we have had on tonight.
Lana, Lacey.
Let me look at my notes.
Kim, Courtney, and of course, Janice, my wife leading them all.
What a show.
I can tell you the same for me, folks.
It has been special.
And Janice, we found that.
We found that for you, didn't we?
I heard that.
I laughed.
I thought, oh, my goodness, he actually found it.
Sam Bushman has to be really.
Hey, there ain't no he.
It's Sam.
Yeah, it was all Sam Bushman.
That is like a 70s or 80s commercial.
It wasn't even a real fun.
It was a commercial.
Hey, you can't put anything past Sam.
Nope.
Where do you want?
You wanted to go to cognitive dissonance?
Yes.
Well, let's get into that.
But first, let me ask you this, because I played the teenager in love.
We've been playing all this romantic Valentine's Day love-y-dovey music tonight.
Not everybody stays with the person that they first fell in love with.
I mean, some people have a heartbreak and some people find love later in life.
I think that can apply to you and your husband, who are among the two finest people I've ever met.
For the people out there who are in the latter stages of life, past the halfway mark, which I'll be reaching this year at 40, you found it.
Other people can find it.
And I am all the better as a result of you and Rich coming together.
Y'all have enriched our lives so much.
Give some hope for the people out there who, you know, are not 20 or not 30 like the people we've been talking about tonight, but for people who will find love and will fall in love and we'll find healthy, productive marriages later on in the calendar.
Well, Richard and I were both in our 50s.
And I started going to Liberty on the Rocks with my daughter.
And they met every once a month.
And all of a sudden, she decided that her, she decided I needed just to meet Richard.
And a friend of his decided that, yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
So they kept, I mean, she would just dump me at his table at these events.
Oh, you need to sit here.
I'm thinking, why?
And, you know, it just, the whole thing is, we just started talking.
And we hit it off.
The first time we met, we did not hit it off.
After that, I would say that, you know, we had lots of good conversations and we started to kind of let each other out on things that were important to us.
And he loaned me books.
And to me, that's a big thing because I'm a bookmonger and so is Richard.
And to loan out a book for a bookmonger is a big thing in my book, the way I look at it.
And so, you know.
And I was going to bring out this whole thing where Lacey was saying that her and her husband are starting to dance.
And somebody, one of Richard's friends said something about that, that in dancing and in dating, men are to lead.
And, you know, that was a pretty good statement.
And I think it's a real true statement.
Men are born to be leaders because that's the way God made them.
Though I did help, I did shove Richard once.
But, you know, the thing is, is we found out just from talking.
And that's the big thing.
We talked, we emailed back and forth.
He invited me to SEV camps, League of the South meetings, and things like that.
And this was all before we ever date.
I didn't, it wasn't like it was a date.
I was just coming to it because he asked me to.
And, you know, we found out that we had a lot of interest and we enjoyed each other's company.
And that's the whole thing.
I think the big thing is whether you're young or whether you're old, you really have to build that friendship before you do a romance, I think.
Because when you're out there first to just romance, you're always putting your best foot forward.
You're not letting them see the whole person.
Richard saw the first person the first time, my worst person the first time we ever met.
You know?
And he still sat with me and talked with me later.
And I think that marriage really is more about being friends than anything else.
You know, you have to be good friends.
You have to enjoy each other's company.
You have to have full confidence in your spouse to be able to tell them anything.
And I have told Richard things that I would have never told my first spouse.
Never.
I have, because he's safe.
He's never going to condemn me.
He's never, you know, he's not going to lecture me.
He's there to listen.
And if I need help, to give me help.
And I think that's a whole thing in love and marriage is that kind of thing.
I found a quote that says that God's glory shines through men.
As long as we have a matriarchal society, we cannot experience or see all of God's glory.
And I think we need to really get back to a patriarchal society where, because that's one of the cognitive dissident things I have in here is that we all say that we believe the Bible, but yet women and children are running the home instead of the husband.
And we need to get back to that because I think that when we are honoring God and putting husbands in their rightful spot as your leader, your provider, your protector, it's much better in that way.
And you actually can see God better because that's what God ultimately is to us, all of us.
I used to always think that, well, Jesus never had to submit to anybody.
And then I started reading, no, he didn't have to submit.
He had to submit to the Father.
Well, men may say, well, I don't have anybody to protect all this to me.
That's God's job for them.
Women aren't to protect their husbands.
They're not to provide for their husbands.
That's what husbands are supposed to do for the family.
And I just think that we need to get back to that kind of a thing.
Women need to get back into their biblical role of being their husband's helpmeat, their partner.
Women bring one part of the coin in a marriage, and men have the other.
Men tend to be, I mean, you see things that men do and you go, oh my God, I would never do that.
Never.
You know, the dangerous jobs some of them do, the chances some of them take.
And it's like, uh-uh, not this girl.
But yet, men are not necessarily as soft as we are in feeling.
And in a family, you need both things.
Children need somebody that's tender-hearted towards them, but they also need the father who is going to be the rule giver and the sustainer of the family.
And I always thought that children need a father after the age of five or so, children actually need their fathers a lot more than their mothers.
I'm sure there's a lot of women out there that are going to disagree with me on that one.
But girls and boys both learn their role in life, their proper roles in life, from their father and the way he treats his wife and them.
You want to jump in?
Denise, yeah, no, I do.
I want to thank you, and I want to tell you, I appreciate what you have said tonight.
We could have gone, I've said this with each of the ladies tonight, and it's true, we could have gone a full hour, but we really could have gone a full hour with you, and it would have not had been enough because I appreciate your perspective.
I appreciate your perspective as someone that I respect and admire going both to you and your husband.
And this is the stuff that needs to be gotten out there, put out there on the airwaves and in our media.
And not enough people are doing it.
It has been a real special treat to be able to present this particular program to the audience tonight.
I thank you for being a part of it.
You were purposefully chosen to be the last one to speak tonight.
Thanks for watching.
And you didn't disappoint.
Well, I appreciate it being on.
I enjoyed it a lot.
We'll do it again very soon.
I promise you that.
We don't do it often enough.
Let's do it again and let's do it again longer next time.
