00:00:00SCHOOL BUS DRIVER IN A TRAFFIC
00:00:03JAM.
00:00:06HE FACES REARVIEW MIRROR.
00:00:16LOOKING. AND WE'VE GOT MORE VICTORY SPEECHES NOW FROM KANSAS WHERE
00:00:20DEMOCRAT ADAM HAMILTON HAS DEFEATED REPUBLICAN INCUMBENT
00:00:23U.S. SENATOR ROGER MARSHALL. MR. HAMILTON SPOKE TO SUPPORTERS
00:00:26AFTER WINNING HIS RACE.
00:00:27HERE'S A LOOK AT HIS COMMENTS.
00:00:32ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE SO LONG.
00:00:35I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU. AND I WANT TO SHARE A FEW THINGS.
00:00:39FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR THE MAN. WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 40
00:00:45YEARS AND 60. I COULD NOT BE STANDING HERE TODAY WERE NOT FOR HER IN
00:00:48JANUARY OF THIS YEAR WHEN SHE SAID, I KEPT SAYING, SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
00:00:52AND IN JANUARY SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SHE SAID, WHY DON'T YOU?
00:00:57AND. FOUR MONTHS OF WRESTLING WITH
00:01:01THIS, PRAYING, DISCERNING TEARS, YOU KNOW, AND SHE SHE FINALLY
00:01:04SAID TO ME AT THE END, SHE SAID, LOOK, DO YOU TRUST JOHN IN THIS?
00:01:07BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE GOD HAS CALLED YOU. AND AGAIN, WE'RE NOT FOR HER.
00:01:11I WOULDN'T BE STANDING HERE GOING ON. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:01:21WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE AND PEOPLE WHO THINK AND I WANTED TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT WITH YOU FROM MY HEART.
00:01:24SO I WANT TO THANK MY MOM BROUGHT ME INTO THIS WORLD AND
00:01:28SHE COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT. BUT I.
00:01:32I WOULD NOT BE HERE WERE IT NOT FOR HER DECISION TO BRING ME
00:01:34INTO THIS WORLD. AND I AM PART OF HER LEGACY.
00:01:38AND I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR MY MOM AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR MY DAUGHTERS, DANIELLE AND REBA,
00:01:41THAT MY GRANDDAUGHTER STILL.
00:01:48AND THEY ARE THE REASON WHY I GOT INTO THIS RACE BECAUSE I THOUGHT, WE HAVE GOT TO LEAVE
00:01:52THEM A BETTER COUNTRY THAN THE
00:01:57ONE. THIS IS FOR ME IN THE HISTORY 94
00:02:01YEARS, I IT WAS PRESIDENT LAST
00:02:03TIME A DEMOCRAT WAS ELECTED. YES, IT WAS FOR OUR MISSION.
00:02:07YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD YOUR TRIPS OVER YOUR.
00:02:10I WANT TO SAY I'M GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE REPORTERS WHO ARE BACK IN THE ROOM.
00:02:14I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER POLITICIANS WHO ARE PUSHING BEHIND FENCES AND BARBECUE, AND I'M JUST SO GRATEFUL FOR WHO YOU
00:02:19ARE, WHAT YOU DO, AND TELL THE TRUTH.
00:02:30FOR ME. ASK ME IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS STUFF, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
00:02:33HOW DID A DEMOCRAT WIN IN KANSAS? A DEEPLY RED STATE. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEARLY A
00:02:38CENTURY, ESPECIALLY IN A STATE WHERE ONLY 25% OF THE PEOPLE ARE
00:02:42DEMOCRATS? HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? SO I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A
00:02:45LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.
00:02:47SO I WANT TO SAY, FIRST OF ALL, THAT I THINK THE PEOPLE IN
00:02:51KANSAS, REPUBLICANS, INDEPENDENTS AND DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
00:02:54WASHINGTON IS NOT OKAY.
00:02:59LOT OF US, A FEW THINGS WE ALREADY KNOW A WAR NOBODY WANTED
00:03:03TERRORISTS. THESE TWO THINGS TOGETHER, ABOUT A $250 A MONTH TO THE COST OF THE AVERAGE FAMILY IN KANSAS.
00:03:07AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE IN KANSAS, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
00:03:11PEOPLE ARE LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. AND THIS IS NOT OKAY. DECISIONS MADE IN WASHINGTON
00:03:14THAT ARE HURTING PEOPLE IN OUR OWN STATE WHO ARE STRUGGLING
00:03:17ALREADY, FARMERS, BUSINESSES, RANCHERS, EVERY KANSAN HURT BY
00:03:22THE TERRORISTS. WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE 60,000 KANSANS WHO A YEAR AND A HALF
00:03:26AGO AND HEALTH INSURANCE, THEY DON'T HAVE ANY MORE BECAUSE OF DECISIONS MADE IN WASHINGTON,
00:03:29D.C., THAT IS NOT OKAY. THAT'S NOT WHO WE ARE. I THINK ABOUT THOUSANDS OF
00:03:33CHILDREN WHO'VE BEEN TAKEN OFF SNAP BENEFITS. I'VE BEEN TO A LOT OF FOOD
00:03:36PANTRIES ACROSS THE STATE OF KANSAS, NOT RESURRECTION. THE CHURCH I PASTOR, WE HAVE A
00:03:40FOOD REVEALED THAT DISTRIBUTES
00:03:41FOOD FREE 20 DAYS A MONTH AND.
00:03:47A SOURCE OF FOOD IN KANSAS CITY FOR PEOPLE WHO STRUGGLE OUT
00:03:51HARVESTERS. AND WHEN YOU VISIT THESE PLACES, THEY SAY, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOOD FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT
00:03:55NEED IT ANY MORE, BECAUSE THE CUTS THAT THE GOVERNMENT MADE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING,
00:03:59THAT'S NOT OKAY. THAT'S NOT WHO WE ARE. IN KANSAS. BUT I WANT TO SAY A FEW OTHER THINGS.
00:04:03KANSANS ARE ALSO FED UP WITH THE
00:04:04WAY POLITICIANS DIVIDE US.
00:04:09MARY AGREES AND TOLD ME SHE'S IN HER 70S. SHE CAME UP TO ME WHEN I WAS THERE AND SHE SAID LAST TIME I
00:04:12WAS IN GREENSBURG BY THE WAY, WAS 15 YEARS AGO, AND I GOT TO DELIVER A FIRE TRUCK TO THEM
00:04:16AFTER THE TORNADOES TOOK THEIR OUT AND OUR CHURCH PURCHASED A
00:04:20FIRE TRUCK FROM THEM. SUCH A JOY. BUT I WANT TO SAY, I WAS TALKING
00:04:23TO MARY AND SHE SAID, I THINK MY NEXT SENATOR, IN ADDITION TO HELPING PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:04:26STRUGGLING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES AND PEOPLE WHO DON'T
00:04:29HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, I REALLY WANT MY NEXT SENATOR TO TRY TO HELP US, NOT TO DISLIKE PEOPLE
00:04:33IN THE OTHER PARTY.
00:04:40OUR POLITICIANS HAVE SOME IDEAS, SHE SAID. I HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS I CAN'T TALK TO ANYMORE.
00:04:44I HAVE KIDS. I GREW UP IN A SCHOOL WITH WHO WERE NO LONGER FRIENDS. I JUST WANT SOMEBODY TO LOOK AT
00:04:48US AND THAT AND TO TRY TO BRING US TOGETHER.
00:04:51NOW HERE'S WHAT WE NEED. I THINK CHANCES ARE SAYING EVEN
00:04:54DEEPLY READ KANSAS DEMOCRATS. REPUBLICANS ARE BOTH SAYING,
00:04:57LOOK, THE REST OF THE COUNTRY ON THE OTHER COAST, THEY LOOK AT US AS FLYOVER COUNTRY.
00:05:01WE ARE NOT FLYOVER COUNTRY.
00:05:03WE ARE THE HEART OF OUR SCHOOLS.
00:05:10THIS IS WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER
00:05:13THAN WE ARE DIVIDED.
00:05:16I'M GOING TO SAY I'M PROUD TO BE A DEMOCRAT IN FRONT OF ALL THE
00:05:19DEMOCRATS WHO SUPPORT ME, LIKE 97% OF THEM. WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:05:23EVERY RALLY I WANT YOU THERE FOR 30 OR 40% ARE REPUBLICANS WHO CAME UP TO ME AND SAID, LOOK,
00:05:27WE'RE WITH YOU.
00:05:28YOU HAVE A.
00:05:36SO A WEEK AGO, WE WERE IN
00:05:38PITTSBURG, KANSAS, SO STANDS NOW. YEAH. AND THE LARGE YOU KNOW, THE
00:05:42FAMOUS CHICKEN PLACES, THERE WAS
00:05:45CHICKEN PARMESAN CHICKEN THERE
00:05:47IS A CASE CALLED STOP THERE FOR AN APPETIZER.
00:05:50AND WE WENT TO CHICKEN AMERICA'S GOT A GREAT EVENT THERE. ROOM WAS PACKED OUT AND AS I WAS
00:05:56LEAVING, THEY SAID, YOU GOT TO GET THE OTHER SIDE, ORDER SOMEBODY BREAKS TO GO. AND A GUY CAME UP TO ME, HE
00:06:00WASN'T AT MY RALLY AND HE COVERALLS. HE CAME UP TO ME.
00:06:03HE SAID, I DON'T KNOW HOW HE WASN'T THINKING. WELL, MAYBE IT IS 80S, MAYBE
00:06:06LATE 70S. HE SAID, I'VE VOTED IN 46
00:06:09ELECTIONS IN KANSAS AND I'VE NEVER VOTED FOR A DEMOCRAT.
00:06:13AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE END OF THE STORY.
00:06:17BUT HE SAID, I VOTED FOR YOU.
00:06:24THIS GUY. HE SAID, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
00:06:28WASHINGTON, D.C. IS IMMORAL. THIS IS NOT WHO WE ARE AS AMERICANS. IT'S NOT WHO WE ARE AS A
00:06:33REPUBLIC, AS ARE DEMOCRATS. THIS IS NOT OKAY WITH ME. AND HE SAID, YOUR MORAL, YOUR
00:06:37DECENT, YOUR TIME, YOU STAND UP FOR THE VALUES THAT I HAVE IN MY OWN LIFE.
00:06:40I VOTED FOR YOU AND I TOLD ALL
00:06:42MY FRIENDS TO VOTE FOR ME AND.
00:06:51WEEKS AGO IN DODGE CITY, IN
00:06:53SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS, WHERE I SHOWED UP.
00:06:56NOW, LISTEN, I'VE SUPPORT ICE FOR DOING WHAT THEY WERE COMMISSIONED TO DO. THAT IS TO KEEP DANGEROUS PEOPLE
00:07:00FROM BLOWING UP BUILDINGS AND HURTING PEOPLE.
00:07:02BUT THEY WERE NOT COMMISSIONED TO ARREST PRESCHOOL TEACHERS IN
00:07:06FRONT OF THEIR CHILDREN.
00:07:1039 OR 21 WOMAN TOLD ME. SHE SAID WHEN THEY SHOWED UP,
00:07:12KNOW PARENTS DIDN'T COME AND PICK UP THEIR CHILDREN.
00:07:15ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO AFRAID, THOSE CHILDREN, TO STAY THERE AT SCHOOL.
00:07:19THIS WAS NOT OKAY. AND NINE THESE WERE ALL REPUBLICANS TALKING THIS AND
00:07:23NINE STATE REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS WROTE A LETTER TO
00:07:25THE PRESIDENT SAYING THIS IS NOT OKAY. THIS IS NOT WHO WE ARE IN KANSAS.
00:07:29THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I'M TOLD WARREN BUFFET SAID
00:07:33SOMETHING TO THIS EFFECT. HE SAID IT'S HARD TO LEAD THE FREE WORLD WHEN MOST OF YOUR
00:07:35ALLIES AREN'T SURE THEY CAN TRUST YOU ANYMORE.
00:07:41I WAS. SOME OF YOU HAVE THESE BUDDIES ON THE SAME DECENCY IS ON THE BALLOT.
00:07:45ANYBODY GOT ONE OF THOSE BUTTONS ON HERE? I'VE SEEN HIM WALK AROUND THE PROTESTS.
00:07:48JESUS IS ON THE BALLOT. I'M RUNNING ON. I'M RUNNING.
00:07:52IN ADDITION TO ADDRESSING THE COST OF LIVING FOR PEOPLE IN
00:07:55HEALTH CARE, I'M RUNNING ON TWO OTHER BIG IDEAS. ONE OF THOSE IS THAT WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER.
00:08:00REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS, THOUGHTFUL REPUBLICANS, THOUGHTFUL DEMOCRATS CHOOSING TO COME TOGETHER AND SOLVE PROBLEMS
00:08:04LIKE IT USED TO BE. BOB DOLE AND GEORGE MCGOVERN,
00:08:06WHO GAVE US A SNAP OF OURSELVES.
00:08:13SO THAT'S HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A LITTLE SECRET.
00:08:17I WANT TO GET FROM JERRY MORAN'S BEST FRIEND.
00:08:22FOR US TO MODEL FOR THE REST OF THE UNITED STATES STATES IN
00:08:26DEEPLY RED CHANCE, THE HEART OF AMERICA. I WANT US TO MODEL WHAT IT LOOKS
00:08:29LIKE WHEN THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE ACTUALLY WORK TOGETHER TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF
00:08:33EACH OTHER. AND INSTEAD OF DECIDING, YOU KNOW, WHO'S GOING TO GET THE
00:08:36CREDIT FOR THIS BEFORE YOU CAN GET A WHOLE LOT DONE, IF YOU
00:08:39DON'T CARE WHO GETS THE CREDIT AND SAY NO.
00:08:43THE SECOND THING IS DECENCY, DECENCY AND WHAT I THINK ABOUT
00:08:46WHAT DOES DECENCY LOOK LIKE? I THINK ABOUT MATTHEW 712 WHAT ARE YOU TO FINISH THIS FOR ME,
00:08:50IF YOU WILL. YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR GRANDMA
00:08:52DOING THE OTHERS AS YOU WOULD. YEAH.
00:08:54YOU WON'T DO THAT. YOU SEE, IT'S IN EVERY RELIGION. IT'S A MATTHEW CHAPTER SEVEN, VERSE 12.
00:08:58IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT. DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU HAVE BEEN DOING YOUR WHAT DOES IT LOOK
00:09:02LIKE IN WASHINGTON IF THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT, HOW WOULD OUR
00:09:04POLICIES AND OUR POLITICS CHANGE IF WE TREATED PEOPLE THIS WAY?
00:09:07WHEN I THINK OF IT LIKE A68, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE IN GOD TO
00:09:10FIND THIS VERSE VERY POWERFUL. BUT THE PROPHETS, SISTERS,
00:09:12PEOPLE, WHAT DOES THE LORD REQUIRE OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES HE SUGGEST?
00:09:16WHAT DOES HE REQUIRE OF YOU? BUT TO DO JUSTICE?
00:09:18JUSTICE IS IS FAIRNESS FOR
00:09:20PEOPLE WHO ARE POWERLESS TO DO JUSTICE, TO LOVE, KINDNESS, AND
00:09:24TO WALK HUMBLY BEFORE GOD. RIGHT? I MEAN, THESE ARE ATTRIBUTES.
00:09:28EVERYBODY NEEDS TO MODEL IN OUR WORLD. I THINK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT JESUS SAID.
00:09:32IMAGINE 25 YEARS DESCRIBING THE LAST JUDGMENT HE SAID, HERE'S WHAT'S GOING TO GO DOWN IN THE END.
00:09:36I MEAN, LOOK AT ALL OF YOU. AND I'M GOING TO SAY THIS TO THOSE WHO ARE THE SHEEP.
00:09:40I'M GOING TO SAY TO YOU, I WAS HUNGRY AND YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING TO EAT.
00:09:43I WAS THIRSTY AND YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING TO DRINK. I WAS A STRANGER IN THE GREEK WORDS.
00:09:47IMMIGRANTS ACTUALLY, I WAS A STRANGER. AND YOUR LOVE FOR ME?
00:09:50I WAS NAKED AND YOU CLOTHED ME. I WAS SICK AND IN PRISON. AND YOU VISITED ME AS MUCH AS
00:09:54YOU'VE DONE IT FOR THE LEAST OF THESE, YOU'VE DONE IT FOR ME.
00:09:58THAT'S WHAT DECENCY LOOKS LIKE. I HAD A MAN AT HOME, KANSAS, SAY TO ME COUPLE MONTHS AGO, HE
00:10:01SAID, HEY, PREACHER, I'M A ONE ISSUE VOTER. AND I'M LIKE, GREAT.
00:10:05TELL ME YOUR ONE ISSUE. AND HE SAID, I REFUSE TO VOTE
00:10:07FOR ANYBODY WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ANY COST. I, I REFUSED TO VOTE FOR ANYBODY
00:10:12WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS. WE LOVE OURSELVES.
00:10:16THAT'S JESUS.
00:10:20JUST THIS KIND OF DECENCY
00:10:23DOESN'T BELITTLE PEOPLE. IT DOESN'T BENEFIT THE RICH AT
00:10:25THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. IT DOESN'T IGNORE THE CRIES OF THE NEEDY.
00:10:29IT'S NOT CRUEL OR UNKIND.
00:10:33NOBODY SPEAK OF LOVING YOUR NEIGHBORS. YOU LOVE YOURSELF. I WANT TO REMIND YOU A PASSAGE
00:10:36OF SCRIPTURE IN THE GOSPEL OF LUKE. CHAPTER TEN. THIS IS 25 TO 37.
00:10:39I PRAISE THIS PASSAGE DOZENS OF TIMES IN THE LAST 38 YEARS.
00:10:43THE PASTOR THERE WAS A LAWYER WHO APPROACHED JESUS AND PASTOR
00:10:46SCOTT PREACH ON THIS. NO LONGER THERE'S A LAWYER APPROACHED JESUS AND SAID, WHAT MUST I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL
00:10:50LIFE? AND JESUS SAID, YOU'RE RELIGIOUS LEADER. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
00:10:53HE SAID, LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, SOUL, STRENGTH AND MIND
00:10:57AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS. YOU LOVE YOURSELF. AND JESUS SAID, THAT'S RIGHT, GO AND DO LIKEWISE.
00:11:00ARE GOING TO THIS NEW ORDER. BUT THEN THE MAN FOLLOWED UP
00:11:03WITH A QUESTION AND HE SAID, YEAH, BUT JESUS, WHO IS MY
00:11:08NEIGHBOR? AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE WAS ASKING WAS, TELL ME WHO I DON'T HAVE TO
00:11:12LOVE. ALL RIGHT? I JUST WANT TO KNOW. I CAN LOVE THESE PEOPLE, BUT WHO DON'T?
00:11:15I HAVE TO LOVE? AND THAT'S WHAT JESUS TELLS A STORY THAT ALL OF YOU HAVE HEARD
00:11:19BEFORE ON THIS. YOU KNOW THE TITLE OF IT, THE
00:11:22STORY OF THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN. ALL RIGHT.
00:11:26HE SAID THERE WAS A SERMON GOING FROM JERUSALEM TO JERICHO, AND I'M TAKING THIS ROUTE AT LEAST A
00:11:30DOZEN TIMES WHEN I'VE BEEN IN THE HOLY LAND TO SERVE MY GOD FROM JERUSALEM, JERICHO.
00:11:33AND WHILE HE WAS GOING, HE WAS ACCOSTED BY THIEVES. HE WAS BEATEN, HE WAS STRIPPED NAKED.
00:11:38HE WAS ROBBED. HE WAS LEFT FOR DEAD. NOW, THE TEXT DOESN'T TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT WHO DID THE
00:11:41ROBBING AND STEALING. THEY JUST MENTIONED THIS HAPPENED THAT THERE WAS SOME
00:11:45GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WERE WILLING TO ROB FROM ORDINARY PEOPLE AND
00:11:48TRY TO ENRICH THEMSELVES THIS WAY. AND SO HE SAYS THIS MUST GO ON.
00:11:51THEN HE SAYS, WHAT HAPPENED NEXT IS THERE WAS A RELIGIOUS MAN WHO
00:11:55CAME ALONG AND HE SAW THE MAN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
00:11:58AND INSTEAD OF STOPPING TO HELP, HE WENT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE IGNORED HIM AND HE WALKED ON
00:12:02TO JERICHO. THEN THERE WAS A SECOND RELIGIOUS MAN WHO CAME ALONG.
00:12:05HE SAW THE MAN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE IGNORED HIM. HE BLOCKED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
00:12:09THE ROAD AND WENT ON TO JERICHO. FINALLY, THERE IS A THIRD MAN WHO COMES ALONG.
00:12:12HE IS A SAMARITAN. NOW, JUST TO REMIND YOU, THE
00:12:16SAMARITANS AND THE CHURCH DIDN'T GET ALONG VERY WELL AT THE TIME. IF JESUS WERE TELLING US PARABLE
00:12:19TO A ROOM FILLED WITH DEMOCRATS, HE'D SAY, AND THERE WAS A
00:12:23REPUBLIC AND WHO CAME ALONG AND START TO HELP THEM OUT. IF YOU WERE STUCK IN A ROOM
00:12:26FILLED WITH REPUBLICANS, HE'D SAY, AND THERE WAS A DEMOCRAT
00:12:30CAME ALONG AND STOPPED TO HELP THE MAN OR A LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE, YOU PICK THE
00:12:34PERSON WHO FEELS DIFFERENT FROM YOU, RIGHT? AND THERE WAS THIS PERSON WHO
00:12:38CAME ALONG AND HE SAW THE MAN AND WHAT HAVE YOU. HE STOPPED AND HE HELPED HIM.
00:12:40HE BANDAGED HIS WOUNDS. HE WRAPPED HIM IN HIS OWN CLOTHES. HE PUT HIM ON HIS OWN TALKING.
00:12:44AND HE TOOK AND TOUCHED JERICHO. THEN HE PROVIDED LODGING FOR HIM
00:12:48AND HE PROVIDED FOR HIS CARE. AND JESUS SAID, OKAY, SO WHICH
00:12:52ONE WAS THE NEIGHBOR WHO ACTUALLY DID WHAT?
00:12:55BOTH MOSES AND JESUS WOULD TEACH YOU TO DO?
00:12:58AND OF COURSE, THE LEGAL SCHOLAR SAID, WELL, IT WAS OF COURSE, THE SAMARITAN. AND JESUS SAYS, GO AND DO
00:13:03LIKEWISE. I LOVE THE FACT THAT DR. KING PREACHING THIS TEXT IN HIS LAST
00:13:05SERMON EVER. HE WENT TO MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE.
00:13:07HE WAS THEIR PROTÉGÉ FIGHTING FOR SANITATION WORKERS.
00:13:11AND HE HAD DEATH THREATS. AND HE WAS SICK WHEN HE GOT THERE.
00:13:14AND HE'S TEACHING THIS THIS PARABLE. AND AS HE'S DOING THAT, HE SAID, YOU KNOW, THE QUESTION I HAVE IN
00:13:19MY MIND IS LIKE, WHY DID THE TWO RELIGIOUS PEOPLE NOT STOP TO HELP HIM?
00:13:22AND HE SAID IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THEY DIDN'T. MAYBE THEY WERE IN A HURRY.
00:13:26MAYBE THEY DIDN'T STOP TO HELP BECAUSE THEY WERE WORRIED THE
00:13:28THIEVES WERE STILL AROUND AND THE THIEVES WOULD COME IN AND ATTACK THEM TOO.
00:13:32SO THEY WERE AFRAID. SO THEY WENT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEY WENT ON
00:13:35THAT JOURNEY FROM LEFT THE MAN TO DIE. AND THEY EXCEPT FOR THE CHURCH.
00:13:39AND HE KEPT WHY HE STOPPED AND HELP. AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT
00:13:43HAPPENED WAS THE FIRST TWO RELIGIOUS PEOPLE, I MUST SAY A
00:13:46LOT OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE DO THIS. SO THE QUESTION TO ASK WAS, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO US IF
00:13:49WE STOP AND HELP HELPING. BUT THE SAMARITAN HAS THIS QUESTION.
00:13:54WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIM IF I DON'T STOP AND HELP OUT?
00:13:56AND THAT'S THE QUESTION WE HAVE
00:13:59TO ASK.
00:14:06ASK I YOU GOING FROM THE TOUCH OF HUMANS IN THE STORY, THERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE
00:14:11HURTING OTHER PEOPLE TO GET TO ENRICH THEMSELVES.
00:14:13AND THERE ARE SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE IN OUR WORLD TODAY AND
00:14:17THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO KNOW IT'S WRONG, BUT THEY DON'T SAY ANYTHING.
00:14:21THEY'RE COWARDLY LIONS, IF YOU WILL, UNAFRAID TO SAY ANYTHING.
00:14:25AND THEN THERE ARE THE PEOPLE LIKE THE SAMARITAN WHO STOP AND HELP.
00:14:28I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU, WHICH ONE WILL YOU BE?
00:14:32WHICH ONE WILL WHICH ONE WILL THE CONGRESS BE FROM THE
00:14:36STANDPOINT.
00:14:40TO SAY AND HOW? I GOT ELECTED TODAY?
00:14:42I THINK I GOT ELECTED AFTER GETTING IN THE RACE WAS SIX MONTHS AGO.
00:14:46I THINK I GOT ELECTED BECAUSE CHANCES WERE SAYING WE'RE TIRED OF THE BULLIES.
00:14:50WE'RE TIRED OF THE CHAOS FOR 20.
00:14:56ONE, 30 DAYS. TO MY NEIGHBORS, THERE ARE A LOT OF TO SAY, LET'S LOVE OUR
00:15:00NEIGHBORS BECAUSE WE LOVE OURSELVES. CITIZENS ARE DECENT PEOPLE. THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE.
00:15:03I CARE ABOUT. THAT'S WHO WE ARE. IT'S NOT.
00:15:07I WANT TO MENTION JUST ONE WORD. I'M A UNITED METHODIST PASTOR, A
00:15:11UNITED METHODIST PASTOR FOR 40 YEARS, NEARLY 40 YEARS.
00:15:13WE HAVE A SPECIAL STAKE IN THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, AND WE PUT IT ON A COFFEE MUG AT CHURCH
00:15:17OF THE RESURRECTION, SAYS, AND I LOVE THIS, IT JUST TELLS YOU A
00:15:21LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR DENOMINATION, BUT IT ALSO IS JUST A GOOD CRY FOR EVERY HUMAN
00:15:25BEING, WHETHER YOU'RE A PERSON OF FAITH OR NOT. IT'S MORE CALLED A TO LOVE
00:15:28BOLDLY SERVED, JOYFULLY AND LEAD
00:15:33COURAGEOUSLY. I WAS PRETTY SORCERESS ON THAT ON THOSE THREE THINGS.
00:15:36AND LAST OCTOBER, WHEN I BEGAN FEELING THE SENSE OF, OKAY, WHAT
00:15:40DOES IT LOOK LIKE FOR YOU, PREACHER, TO LOVE BOLDLY, TO SERVE JOYFULLY, TO LEAD
00:15:45COURAGEOUSLY? I COULDN'T GET OUT OF MY MIND THAT MAYBE THAT MEANT RUNNING
00:15:48FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
00:15:58IN KANSAS. FOR ALL OF THOSE OF YOU WHO
00:16:03VOLUNTEER AND WORK SO HARD TO PUT SIGNS UP, YOU MADE CALLS, YOU KNOCKED ON DOORS, YOU GAVE,
00:16:06YOU CONTRIBUTED TO MY CAMPAIGN. YOU TOLD ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS I WOULD NOT BE HERE WERE NOT FOR
00:16:10YOU. I WORK FOR YOU. I'M GOING TO REPRESENT YOU AND
00:16:15ALL.
00:16:17THOSE PEOPLE, WHICH INCLUDES ME.
00:16:21YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO REPRESENT THEM, TOO. I CARE ABOUT THEM. I SAW I HAD A COFFEE SHOP THIS
00:16:25WEEK, SO THEY KNOW PRETTY MUCH RIGHT. THE DEMOCRATS TAKE CONTROL OF THE SENATE AND GUESS WHAT?
00:16:29THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE CONTROL. THE STATE.
00:16:39IS WHAT? THIS ELECTION IS A REBUKE OF
00:16:42UNKINDNESS AND CRUELTY.
00:16:49AND SHOWING PETS. I KNOW SHE'S AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
00:16:53AND SHE WENT A TEAM WHO ARE MY PRAYER PARTNERS AND THEY PRAY FOR ME EVERY DAY.
00:16:56AND I JUST CAN'T TELL YOU I FELT WHEN I HAD SOMEBODY CALL ME, YOU
00:17:00KNOW, A GROOMER. I MEAN, YOU HAD THE PRINCE OF
00:17:03THE UNITED STATES COME TO KANSAS CITY AND TO WICHITA IN KANSAS
00:17:07TWICE IN TWO WEEKS. SO, YOU KNOW, TO TALK SMACK ABOUT ME AND THE VICE PRESIDENT
00:17:10TO DO THE SAME THING, TO SAY, I WASN'T REALLY A CHRISTIAN, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
00:17:14I JUST FELT LIKE THE ARROWS JUST FELL TO THE GROUND.
00:17:24AND I WAS BECAUSE OF SHELLY AND HER TEAM AND ALL OF YOU WERE PRAYING FOR THE ECONOMY. WE JUST FELT SUCH PEACE IN THE
00:17:28MIDDLE OF THIS FROM YOUR PRAYER. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
00:17:31I WANT TO THANK MY AMAZING TEAM OF STAFF. WOULD YOU.
00:17:35ALL RIGHT.
00:17:47LISTEN, I LOVE THIS, YOU KNOW,
00:17:51CRITICISM, BUT SINCE I GOT I REMEMBER SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN WE
00:17:55HAD THE RACE IN THE COOK REPORT SAID NOW KANSAS IS SOLIDLY RED.
00:17:59THERE'S NO CHANCE THEY'RE GOING
00:18:00TO LATCH ON TO.
00:18:06THIS ONE. THEY'RE LIKELY READ A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
00:18:09THIS WILL BE A LEAD READ IN THE THREE WEEKS. AND IT'S ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, IT'S A TOSSUP.
