Now I'm bringing on actually a personal friend of mine. This is Hally Adams, she's a lifelong resident of Ohio. She's a Christian mother of two and an unapologetic patriot. And we used to work together at TPUSA Faith. Holly, thank you for joining us on Church and State. Thank you so much. Caleb. It's nice to see you, and it's great to be here. Yeah, it is a pleasure, and I'm so thrilled I got to tell you that you are running for Congress. I mean, that's that's what we need in this country. We need, you know, people that aren't part of the elite class that have gone out work the field, and I know you have done that that truly love America and just want to get in there and serve what a novel idea serve the American public. Right. Yes, yes, I'm very comfortable in that role. What I'm saying off screen to you, and I'm getting used to this being on camera role. I'm a grassroots activist. I normally, you know, on the ground, I'm most comfortable in my you know, campaigning boots or shoes depending on what the weather's like here in Ohio, and my campaign shirt and I either have that fanny pack on or my my apron like I got a waitressing apron that I put my brochures and my pens and my notepad in. So I'm pretty efficient out there, and I really appreciate opportunities like this to come on. Shows like yours. I love what you do, and I know we're going to talk. Some about me today, but I knew that when I come on, I'm going to learn learn from just having a conversation with you today. So I appreciate you and everything that you do. Well, well, thank you very much for that compliment. I want to right off the bat, I want to hit you with a question that I love to ask. Actually, I'm going to hit you with two questions that I love to ask any politician. And I don't say that as like a bad word, even though most Americans are like, oh, politicians, Holly is not that kind of a politician. Number one, Holly, what is the purpose of government? Well, I am so glad you asked. The purpose of our government here in America is to protect our God given rights, which are for those that forget life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. So those things have been infringed on for a decade and it's time to straighten things up and get back to basics and really make sure that all of those rights are being protected and anything that's getting in the way or infringing of them is remote. I got to tell you people, I love I love that answer, Holly. Yeah, I'm going to give you one of these right there. I have asked so many politicians over the years that question, and the answers you get are just insane. They just kind of stumble all over themselves. And it's not a hard question because it's found right in our Declaration of Independence, which you were just talking about. It's to secure rights which aren't given by government. Our rights are given by God, as you just stated, and life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and pursuit of happiness is really kind of property rights. It's rolled into that. So great answer. Right off the bat. You're getting gold stars. People should already be voting for you. So it's fantastic. All right. Number two question, this is one that I also love. I'm a staunch anti federalist on this show, I would have been with Patrick Henry and George Mason, and so I want to ask you about the Bill of Rights and which one of the original ten is your favorite. Well, that's a good question also, and I guess, just seeing that we're here today able to speak freely on topics that are important to American citizens, I always have to go with the first Amendment. I think it is our foundational right, and without it, our country would not be able to exist and get through difficult times and stand up to challenges and replace people or replace policies that are bad for Americans. I made a note here, I'm going to put my glasses on because I'm long winded. Again, this is new for me. I just need to be more concise on shows like yours. I don't want to waste your listener's time. But I referenced this earlier. I said, you know, it's always been my favorite amendment. I said, maybe because I like to talk, but that's not it. I prefer to listen more so. To be able to speak and have people like you out engaging in a society and standing up and speaking truth, godly truth, and truth about what our country's supposed to be about and our government's supposed to be doing. As importantly, what our government is not supposed to be doing, it's supposed to keep them in line. So what we need right now in our country And one of the reasons I'm running for Congress. Is we do not have enough. Bold, courageous Christian Conservative leaders in our Congress or our Senate. I mean, the fact that the Save Act has not passed yet is absolutely ridiculous. It's a dereliction of duty for John Thune right now. I would be up all night rallying the votes on the Democratic side too. I would. Think we could get John Fetterman to sign or well John Fetterman's Congress. Sorry, but anyway, the fact. That that has not passed yet and ninety percent of Americans that vote for both parties want it is absolutely ridiculous. So we need more people like me. And I'm I'm proud and excited to go serve in this capacity. God's called me to do it. You know, not a lot of people just decide wake up some day. Maybe some do, people that have aspirations for power or wealth and think that, you know, running for Congress is the way to get there. I'm actually, you know, working on depleting my bank account to run for office. So I'm just different. I'm just you know, a real American person with real American problems, with a limited budget, that wants to live in a country that actually represents what our Declaration dependence, independence and our constitutions. Say it should. I like that answer. Obviously. The First Amendment is an incredibly important amendment, and there's actually five rights spelled out in that. But what I love about the Bill of Rights is it's almost like it's almost it's more directed at government to the people. Right. It's almost a ten commandments for the government, thou shalt not, and it just keeps telling the government thou shalt not, thou shalt not, And the First Amendment is a great response. My personal favorites the ninth. But I'm very libertarian, so I'm like you enumerated. Brain they share because I share some leaves on that libertarian tree. So I'm know, I'm I would like to hear see I'm here to learn. I want to hear why the ninth is your favorite. Basically, the Ninth Amendment is a gigantic trump card, maybe pun intended, I don't know, but it's enumerated rights, and basically the people and the states have multiple rights that aren't spelled out in the Bill of Rights that we retain, and so anytime the government tries to get a little updy and tell us we can't do something. We can just take the ninth Amendment and slap it down and say want to bet watch me? And so, yeah, that speaks to me because I'm kind of honri a little bit of a fighter. Perhaps it's the marine in me, but I just like that one. I am waiting for somebody Hawley to come on here because I ask a lot of people this question and just hit me with a third amendment. They're like, third Amendment's my favorite. I've never heard that before. I don't think I wrong. I'm not waiting for that, but it would be funny. I would probably chuckle at that. Yeah, I was trying to think of an example of how that would be. The only thing I thought of was, and it's not regard to like gouvern officials. Is like the squatter's rights that we have squatters have in our country. Now that you can just go on vacation, somebody can move into your house and you know you don't need it because you have a second house. I guess, so you know the squatter has rights. I've actually argued that our phones, our phones are actually the new soldiers, and so I actually think we should dust off the Third Amendment because we're bringing in these phones into our homes that are spying on us, literally spying on everything you're doing, and the government's watching that through you know, all sorts of different alphabet agencies. We don't have to quarter them, and so we could make an argument using the Third Amendment against this. Yes, and I definitely need to. On my to do list is to get a ghost bone. Yeah, we're going to set you up. We're quartering them in my home any longer, like my pocket or in my car. I liked that because, especially in a position like what you're you're, you know, applying. For with the people. You should the government should have no access to your phone, who you're communicating with, who you're emailing, people that are on your supporter's list, and unfortunately they do. And so yeah, something like a ghost phone is definitely a priority for you. I want to move into your issues because you've got a great website and I actually want to bring it up for the audience here, Chris, if you can do that, Hally Adams for Congress dot com. You can see it right there, Hally Adams for Congress. And I want the audience to really examine this and get to know you because you're just You're a really nice person. It was just a joy to work with you at TPUSA Faith. But you also you are very fundamental in your approach to how government should be operating. And so I want to go through some of the issues here, and we don't have enough time to go through all of them, but I encourage the audience to do. But one that jumps off up right at me is protect our children. What exactly does that mean to you? Oh? Yes, that's near and dear to my heart. I'm a mother and I don't know how anybody on this planet could not want to protect children. God is very specific about that in the Bible. So yeah, from physical abuse and physical harm and also mental. So for the physical side, we have criminals on the streets that have been allowed to offend, molessed, rape, murder our children. Predators that are out there grooming them for all. Sorts of horrific things, kidnapping them, trafficking them for all sorts of horrendous things that Americans. You know, we don't see enough of it graphically, but it makes me stick to my stomach. It's hard for me to eat even fathom these four children, And I am grateful every time I see a report from Tom Holman or the FBI on predators being caught in children being rescued, And you know, there's a knowing, there's organizations that people like us support that can help help support those victims once they come back and help them normalize. And get past that situation. And certainly God has a huge part in that too, but godly people coming alongside of them. So I just want criminals off the streets. I want people that harmed children. To do. The most amount of time possible in prison. And then you know, the same thing with the drug trafficking. You know, that wasn't really taken seriously for decades, and now I'm so glad that President Trump and you know, our DEA are taking that seriously because the fentanel has killed so many American children and the parents of those children, And who better and who is supposed to protect the children then the parents and from mental harm. You know, I've been in situations that were I didn't even know it at the time, right, I didn't even know it at the time, but after the fact realized they were mentally abusive. And that was in my past and I am stronger because of that. But the things that our children are accessing on the internet are not fit for children of a certain age. I mean some aren't even fit for adults, and they have access to it. So I'm a huge supporter. I know. I saw the Milania movie recently and she was talking to another I think it was mccrone's wife, and they have put some stipulations into their government and made law that children over there, I believe, can't get access to these apps in these smartphones until they prove that they're at least sixteen years of age, which I think is a great start. But curriculum in our school has damaged children. I mean, imagine sending your children. I mean we have right into the schools, and we really woke up under COVID when we started to see a exactly what was being taught and people years before and parents that were really engaged. We're choosing homeschool for decades now, right, and now it's becoming more mainstream. But to tell a little. White four or five year old girl or boy that they're inherently born hateful and racist and prejudice, that's not true. We are born to love, We are you know, people are taught to hate and taught to have prejudiced. So the fact that that is going on, the American taxpayers have funded a school program that is mentally harming our children, and then most recently in the years with the transgender push, is saying, hey, we're going to actually physically allow your children to mutilate themselves because we're going to let an adult in the school, or a counselor or a teacher, sure take them aside, share nothing with you, the parents, and tell them how they can go get hormones on their own or a double missectomy on their own. I mean it's ludicrous to think, right, we have trusted teachers, we've trusted doctors. Of course, we haven't trusted politicians, and a lot don't deserve to be trusted because they don't keep the promises that they make. So it breaks it just breaks my heart thinking of these innocent children that have so much life and so much opportunity, that are born in a country that they can fulfill their wildest dreams if they just show up and put in the work and learn and grow right. And I want that for every child. I want that for every adult. And it starts with protecting children because much children sometimes become damaged adults, even if they don't have the resources to come around them and huddle around them and support them to grow into the person God intended them to be. Now, you're you're absolutely right there, and that's why I picked that for the first issue that I wanted to discuss with you is if we're not protecting our most precious resource, which is our children, our most innocent then what good are we as a country If we allow some of the things that you were bringing up there, you know, the surgeries literally Frankenstein's experiments on our kids. If we allow that to continue, then we don't deserve to continue as a republic. And so this is an important issue that It's interesting even a lot of the Democrats are starting to come back from this one, like they realize it was a bridge too far, and you're seeing people return to some degree of normalcy, which experimenting on kids should be the normal or not the normal. And so yeah, this is an important issue. All right, Limited Gummer government Obviously, as somebody that really really dislikes government, I want to talk about limited government and your approach to how you would achieve this. Well, it's interesting, and you brought up the ninth Amendment. I did print this off today and I'm a big fan of it. The enumerated powers that the Constitution grants our Congress. So yeah, for me, sorry, I go back and forth between these glasses and things. Again, I'm getting new to all this, but yeah, I mean. Our government is supposed to provide certain things. Again, only those. Things that protect our an alienable rights, so life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and those things what they do need to do, whether it be you know, law enforcement, military things like that. They do cost money, and that's fine, and if they align with that, we can take our tax dollars that are collected. We are excessively taxed right now. I do want to lower taxes. I would love to abolish income tax, but I'd settle maybe for a flatter fare tax of ten percent if that got us lower than where we currently are. So yeah, So if it's not listed as one of the responsibilities of Congress, we should not be paying for it. And you know, all of the government funded NGOs or example examples of that. You know, if you start a nonprofit and you for your website and me for my campaign, I invest my own money, and then I have to go find people that say, wow, she's doing good work. I want to support, I want to give my money. That's how charities and nonprofit are supposed to be funded, not just blank take checks from the government for anybody that fills out a form and makes it sound. Like they're doing doing good. Like perfect example, the many corrupt on not saying all of them, I will never say all of them, but the many corrupt people in the Somalian community and Minnesota, and the many corrupt politicians in Minnesota that have been elected by the corrupt Somalians. And it's just this endless cycle. They don't keep track of the money. It's not their money. So many public officials don't care. It's not their money, it's our money. And I'm sorry, my money that I work for should pay for my children to go to daycare, right, And it's just it's ridiculous. So remember remember growing up the Jerry Lewis telethons. You remember how passionate he was about that the government wasn't sending. Jerry a blank check for even five dollars. All that work from that organization got done because Jerry had the heart work. Jerry had the passion for it. Jerry wanted to make a difference, and people resonated with that, and they called in And you don't see that today. I mean you do see it for the Humane Society and some other things. And I love that the Shriners Hospital. I love that people. We are very the most giving. I think, you know country Americans want to get. But the problem is by the time government reaches into our bank accounts, in our wallets and then taxes us on every good and service, we don't have money left to give to the causes that are really important, that need our help, that we want to So I really want to give American people their hard earned dollars. I think they should have the right to keep it. And I think you know, there's a big people talking about affordability in the cost of living, in the cost of buying a home. Well, it would go a long way. You could keep the income that you actually are. Now you bring up some fantastic points here, Holly. I've talked about this a lot on my show. But we've gotten lazy as the American public because prior to you know, this big government system that's been created, this monster, it was the people, and it was the churches that were engaged in charitable givings. And then we decided that the government was just easier if we didn't, if we just got taxed and we never even saw that money, we could just allow the government to come in and start taking care of the homeless and the elderly and whatnot. And it hasn't worked very well. Shocker, right, big surprise. Government bureaucracy does not work. And now we're in this position, as you just laid out, well, we don't have enough money to actually care for our fellow Americans. Now we have to rely on the government to do that. I think we should cancel all of that, go back to the individual or the churches. I think we'd see a vast improvement. All right, great answers from you. Right there, there's a great segment and I'll have to send you a link to it that i'd looked up recently, but I just remembered it from the time I learned it probably about fifteen years ago in a constitution class. And this segment was called the four Walls, and it basically that, I mean, our government in our society should is built upon these four walls and so like, well, the ceiling was God, right, So and what one pillar up to God is self, So you're responsible for yourself and God will help provide for you. And then your family. You decide to have a family, create a family, so you're responsible for your family unit. The other pillar adjacent to that is community in church. Just like you said, so all those things directly related to God. Now God is over. What is the floor? So, I'm not sure why it's called the four walls. It's kind of a ceiling, two walls in a floor. But the floor is the government. The government is only supposed to do what self and family and communing and church can't do. So if we're being attacked by a foreign nation, we need the government. If we're being attacked by a mob of the people that want to harm a proud at a Boston marathon or one person with a backpack, we need the government. We need law enforcement. Right. But they have woven their way into each of those pillars, and they have like the sky is falling as far as what government, and especially you know, people within our government. And I feel the Democrat Party and the leftist activist like shooting holes in this feeling of what's supposed to be the protection of. God over our country. So yeah, I very much support that. And the sooner we can get back to it, the better. And Congress hasn't taken care of it, and we need people more people like me. I wish there were I wish there were three hundred people like you and me, Caleb running to go fill seats in. Congress right now. I mean, they are incredible three hundred that are not on the same page as that, and they're not on the same page as of Americans. And sadly a lot of Americans haven't been taught all this, so it's like they unknownly are on the wrong side, right, But they need people like us out there reminding them, like your life will be. Better now, You're will be better. You're absolutely right, And once again you're bringing up some great points. And it's you know that not only did government because with the advancements of the state, right, the bigger the state becomes, the more it wants to take over every aspect. And so yeah, it is woven into self and family, it is woven into the community and the church. But the end goal for all big government is to be worshiped. That's what communism, socialism, all the isms, fascism, it doesn't matter what it is. They all want to be worshiped because we're created to worship something, and they believe that they could become godlike. And that is what we saw through the communist nations, you know, the Soviet Union, China, and they wanted to do that to America, and we need to fight like heck to ensure that that does not happen. All Right, there's a lot more on here. We're coming up on that hard break here, but let's talk a little bit about education, because this is an important thing. Obviously, our education system in America is pretty busted up. What are your solutions for that? That is a great question. I love all the solutions that are currently available, and I just support all of them. What I would like to change, and I wouldn't need to look further into what's already been done and maybe how certain states are doing it is you know where what I've seen in the neighborhood that I lived in, my kids did go to public school, they did have you know, they did experience some of the curriculum that's being taught in the recent years. I actually had met with a voter recently, that's homeschooling her kids. I have the ultimate respect for anybody that chooses to homeschool their children. I did not make that choice. I was a working mom. I was helping to pay the bills for my household and I couldn't at the time. I didn't use the I didn't. Figure out a clever way to be able to provide for my family and also homeschool. Right. So they said, aren't you concerned that your children are now going to college were more doctrination will occurred, and I said, you know, I let them make the decision. I would have loved for them to go to Hillsdale, but they didn't want to go to Hillsdale, and they ended up choosing the University of Cincinnati, which has some good teaching and will get them further along and what they want to do. And the same thing with Miami University, both good institutions. But I said, I feel comfortable because I've raised them to be strong, resilient Christians that question things, that. Don't believe everything they're told. They know right from wrong. And they know good hardly. I've got to pause you right there. I apologize, but we're at that hard break point. We're gonna come back. We're going to finish this conversation. It's a great one, Ladies and gentlemen. I want all of you to be a walking billboard. Some of us don't have platforms such as church and state, but you know what, we can wear T shirts and engage in great conversations with Christians and Patriots all across the country. Stand Up Now Apparel is the best T shirts out there. These are American made, owned by a Christian and a Patriot, and the material it's like getting a warm hug from yours truly. One of the better things as well, is there's no tags. I hate tags. I know you do as well. I don't know how many times I've cut off a tag and ended up with a hole in my shirt. You never have to worry about that with Stand Up Now Apparel. These are the. Best shirts out there with the greatest messages. Let me give you a few examples. But there's a T shirt out there that says armed with Ephesians six on it. I get to tell you, when I wear this in town, I get a lot of comments and a lot. Of eyebrow raises. There's other shirts that include pure blood in Hebrew, obviously in reference to the vaccines. And also you can get Church and State merch there as well. We've got our flagship shirt I was Born for a Storm with Church and. State right on it. You got to order the shirt. Go to Stand Up Now Apparel for t shirts and hats, all of this great merch with great Christian and patriotic messages. Remember to use that promo code Church and State. And we are back. Thank you for staying with us. You're over at Churchandstate dot medium and we're going to go back to our guest here in just a second. But I do have to promote one of our great affiliates. And since we were already talking about it, and I want everybody to get one of these, let's talk about Mark three to seven dot com. All right. I love this organization. They are great. I want everyone in America to have a ghost phone or a ghost laptop. I'm sick and tired of the government spying on you, and that's the big one. But I mean, just talking to your average person, how frustrating is it for you to be talking about needing a new couch or something, being interested in getting a new couch or the living room, and all of a sudden, your phone starts giving you ads about all these different couch sales. I don't like that personally. Maybe some of you do. I don't like that. I don't like that my phone is constantly listening to us. They've done experiments where husbands and wives have gotten in fake arguments, and all of a sudden, their phone is giving them advertisements for counselors, like knock that stuff off. Get a phone that will not spy on you. Okay, I love this thing. I'm running a VPN often, I'm running fake GPS, I'm using encrypted communication. I'm like four or five levels of security. On this phone, and I feel pretty comfortable with it, all right, and I'm talking to people all the time. I mean, you're talking about like Tucker Carlson when he was interviewing Vladimir Putin and he was using the Signal app, which is a good encrypted app, but he was using an iPhone and so they had back doors to it and they were able to look at every text that was going through. That's bunk. I don't want to be a part of that. If you don't want to be a part of that, go check out Mark three. To seven dot com, use the promo code Church and State and take back your security. Leads and gentlemen. All right, Also, please hit the donate button for us one more time, Just please hit it. Keep us on the air so that we can continue to have fantastic conversations like the one we're engaged in right now. Ten dollars twenty dollars a month. It helps us immensely. All right, with that, let's go back to our guest, Holly Adams for Congress for Ohio. And Holly, one of the worst parts of my job on this is when I'm looking at that timer and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna have to cut them off, and I had to cut you off. I apologize, you know how it is, though, So please I can't continue your thoughts on education though. Well, so I started with homeschool. That another is school choice and vouchers. I can support that, and you know, I think that parents should be able to spend their money. Remember it's their money. So the problem is right now, the government taxes people and their tax you know, a lot thousands, tens of thousands of dollars per year to pay for the schools. Depending on where. Your health and then that's where your kids go, and you have no say as a parent. Right now, we need to return the school back to local control, is what I believe. But you have no control over what they're teaching in those schools, and they're taking your money to indoctrinate and endanger your children. So it's ridiculous, so that should not be done. A family should have a certain amount of money. I understand that somebody might make sixty less than sixty thousand a year and have six kids, and you can do that in America. So through tax collection, they could collect the taxes from other people and say, hey, any American parent here is eight thousand dollars per child. Or ten thousand dollars per child? Ever is a reasonable cost per child to get the education that they need. They don't have. To have all these fancy screens in the newest gadgets and the spying devices on our children right paper pencil, those those projectors right where the teachers that we grew up with, or at least I grew up I'm older than you. We've determined before the call is, you know, they put on It's like, what do they need? They need a safe, warm place with teachers that care about them, with teacher that teachers that are knowledgeable in the subject matter being taught. Right, So each and then the parents choose, and then the tax payer dollars get those kids transported to school in back, right, or a nonprofit can help raise money to say, hey, you both of you are working. You can't get your child to school and back. There's not a bus, So this nonprofit's going to take care of it. So people will come along help that. But we need to have parents being able to control what their children are being taught. And I do love and I know that you brought up TPUSA earlier and that's where we met. And Charlie Kirk did start a great educational organization too, about the same time he started the Faith Organization. And I love those people and what they're doing because the fact is there aren't enough private education places that people like us that value God and value our constitution and value other people. You know, I'm a Christian, you're a Christian. We love other people. I truly, I don't care if you vote a certain way or you disagree with me politically. I love you and I want the best for you. Right, And we need more of that in our government. But they have a great program. And so what his idea was is that we have several of how many churches do we have across America? How many is it fifteen thousand? There's a lot more than that, Caleb, do. You know churches way more than that. Yeah, for sure. So going back to the basics, right, a lot of these churches are only being used on Sunday mornings or Saturday nights or one night during the week. How about opening up these churches for children and education again and using that space and having affordable curriculum that the parents know exactly what's being taught from K to twelve. Hillsdale has great programs. There's other programs out there too, and having these again going back, you know, sometimes progress is good and better, and sometimes what we've progressed to right now in our American education system is not better, it's worse. So using these spaces that are. Already there and helping these children to grow and be nurtured, you know, in in that church. Environment like they used to. So I mean, I'm I'm not here to I mean I like to support anything that I believe in, and I think that that is a great resource, and I forget the website. I think you would just search. Turning Point Academy or Turning Point Education. But it's a wonderful organization. I'd love to see more churches start to do that because they can. I know some churches that I called on when I worked for Charlie's organization, they were opening their spaces and letting homeschool cooperatives use them. So that's fine too. Yeah, these are good options, and yet it is it's Turning Point Academy, you know. I mean personally for me, like I want to drop a bomb on the Department of Education. Not really, not literally, but. I just want to end that that federal program. I want to privatize the entire thing. I think it works so much better, and I love the idea of church is opening up their doors. It's a big building there in every community across America, and it's just a great way to get education back in the hands of the parents where they can have control over what their kids are learning. And it allows the free market to enter in as well. If a school is teaching ludicrous things, then guess what, that school is probably going to be shuttered because the vast majority of Americans don't believe that America is a racist, colonial, just you know, garbage community. No, we don't believe that. We believe that America is good, and so we can continue to teach our kids that way. It's a great idea, Holly, I Helen, I. Have an interesting story on that note. And this is what I like. You know, I like to be able to converse and talk to people with different mindsets. I believe if we could actually have honest, real conversations and debate in our country, a lot of people that consider themselves far left and nothing like us conservatives would say, oh, that makes so much sense. So I used to be. In a mom group when our kids were in preschool, and we would try to get together once a month just to kind of breathe, support each other, talk about the kids. What's going on, and just you know, be ourselves. And they're one of. The women in the group that is one of my best friends to this day, like eighteen years later, considers herself, you know, a very far left liberal individual for certain reasons that she would describe that she feels herself that way. So I said, let's just get together, you know, somenight and just have a conversation, and so we did. And I said, you know, would you agree that our the American education system is failing at least and I didn't say all of them, I said at least fifty percent of the children in our country. And she said absolutely. I said, how would you change it? This far left liberal mother, protective mother that sent her children to Kuman on Wednesdays to learn more than the school system was teaching. Her said I would privatize it. I said, so would. I'm I said. See, you don't have to agree with me on edit everything. People like you and people like me, if we're both passionate about bettering the education system, align on that and get the work done. But there's all this division and people while we can't do it their way because it's. Them, and we can't do it our way. But she was this way she considers herself, and it's like, if we came together, and that's just two, if all the parents came together from both sides and demanded. Better, we'd have better. We would. You're absolutely right. And I've devoted a considerable amount of time on this program talking about that intentional divide, and the reality is is the vast majority of Americans. We can talk with each other, we can sit down at a coffee table and explore alternative ideas. We really need to move away from the tribalism of viewing like on our side, Democrats is just this evil monster. Some of them are, some of the leadership and some of the more hardcore activists. Yes, I would agree with that, but your average American citizen that votes Democrat, they're not the enemy and we need to be able to have conversations with them. Holly, I wanted to transition here. I mean, there's a lot more issues that we could discuss, but we will run out of time before we can get to that. I will encourage the audience to go to hollyadamsfcongress dot com and check out all the different issues. But Holly, I wanted to turn this towards our time here at TPUSA Faith when we work together and obviously for the vast majority of the country. The death of Charlie Kirk was a very significant event. It literally broke my heart to watch that. But can you talk a little bit about your time there, some of your takeaways and how it helped you grow and really get you to this position where you're now running for Congress. Yes, it was amazing, and his death is tragic, and it's still it still breaks my heart to this day, and. It breaks my heart to see. How horribly some people have treated Erica Charac during the situation. And that's a whole other topic, a whole nother discussion. But she has gracefully forgiven the person that. Murdered her, her her. Charlie, her husband, the father of her children. And I just she and she is accepted that God took him at this time for a reason. But she's the one that has to get up every morning without the love of her life, without her partner, and without a father for her children, and that breaks my heart. So I just have to say that how anybody could treat her the way some people have is just not right. But yeah, I really I was so interesting story is. I'm a career salesperson. I was in sales for almost thirty years, very successful in corporate sales, and God started nudging me back in two thousand and eight to get more aware and more educated and more involved, because I mean, he woke up a lot of people when Barack Obama came on the scene. But I had young children in a full time career and I couldn't gotten as engaged as possible, but I get as much as I could. I'd help get out the vote, I'd run political action centers. I've done as much as I could. And then in twenty twenty two, I was working for a software company and they ended up laying me off and it's the first time that had happened to me, and I was, you know, my default would have been going to the search engines and typing in sale or cybersecurity sales is what I was doing at the time. And God gave me like a big out vote and was like, no, I've built you for something else. I'd shaped you for something else. Your passion. You know what your passions are, and you know I have a purpose for you. And you've always been wanting to do, Like what is my purpose? What? You know? It's not selling software that was paying bills and I needed to provide for my family, so I typed into those search engines, politics and faith and this job came up for Charlie Kirk's organization to be a faith representative covering Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana, and I thought, well, I didn't know he hired people my age. I was fifty years old. Fifty years old. God had shape me all up to that time. God, I feel he called me to do that, and I was fifty years old. I took a eighty percent pay cut from corporate sales to go do something I was passionate about and I believed in, and I grew more in those two years. I called on pastors, nonprofit groups, met people like us across those three states for two years, and they changed my life. They I'm closer to God than I've ever been. I love people, you know. I used to not pray for people that I considered were on the opposite fence of me. I spent my time praying for people on my side of the fence. But I do. And you know, like you said about it's not there's good people that vote for the wrong party. There's good people that haven't left the Democrat Party. And so you know, I have friends, I have family, they're part of that group. And what comes to me is Jesus saying, Father, forgive them. They know not what they do. They have been taught and led, and they watch channels that perpetuate their hate and their just divisiveness and They're good people. I mean, these are people I love dearly, right, so I love them, have a relationship with them. We sometimes don't, you know, just avoid talking religion and politics, but I pray for them. I want them to. Kind of see, you know, where God. Plays a role in our country and where people like me are trying to play a role in our country. Sure, yeah, no, I appreciate you your vulnerability and talking about working for Charlie for TPUSA FA. It was a great time and I'm so glad I was able to meet you through that and now following our career as you're running for Congress. So I'm going to bring up hollyadamsfocongress dot com once again, and I want everybody to donate here. Okay, I know I talk about donating on my own show, but Holly Adams is a worthy candidate for Congress, and we need more of people that want to represent the citizenship, people who have a servant heart. And so for the audience and anyone from around the country, please consider donating to Holly Adams. And Holly, I want to give you the last words. I took care of the donate part for you, so you don't have to hit on that. I know you don't like that, but please any last words for the audience. Here, No, I appreciate that. I would just say, you know, I hope I've been able to share or you've been able to learn what you wanted to learn from me from the show today and what Caleb hopes that you can learn when he has people like me on the show. A lot of you might not live in Ohio's District one. It covers the southwest part of Ohio. Cincinnati is the major city that's part of that, and then two counties north of that. So all I would say is if you could go to my website, if you can donate money, please do it is a huge help. I'm trying to. Win the primary race and then the general with the least amount of money possible, because I believe people should be elected not based on the size of their war chest, but the good in their heart and the quality of work. That they're going to do. So if you could do that rate, and then if you know any other people that would want to support a candidate like me, just text them a link to my page and say, hey, you might want to you know, I think you want to support this person. And then certainly if you know anybody that. Lives in the Cincinnati area southern southwest Ohio, please let them know. Hey, I heard this girl talk's she's like us, She's one of us. She's trying to get to Congress to represent people. I'll be representing Ohioans and you know, all Americans when I do that. So you know there are elections lost by one vote and sixty six votes, and each of you probably know at least sixty six people that could vote for me. So just sharing would be great. And I appreciate your time today, Caleb. I thank you for having me. I will work on being more concise for you have me on next day. No, you've been absolutely gray. And I'll just say this from the microphone right here, Holly Adams has the full endorsement of church and State. So this is if I lived in Ohio, this is who I would be voting for. This is not just voting, this is who I would donate my time and my money too. And that's another big key element there, Holly. People need to volunteer, They need to get out there, they need to walk the streets with you. Doorbelling is one of the most essential things that you can do in politics. So please, some grassroots activists. You live in Ohio, you're listening to this, contact Holly and volunteer your time. Holly. It's been an absolute pleasure having you on, as I knew it would be. I got to go ahead and close this out. If you hold on one more minute post production to say, oh, goodbyes, I'd appreciate it. But again, thank you for your time and thank you for your service. Thank you absolutely well. There you go, ladies and gentlemen, Holly Adams for Congress. We need good people. We really desperately need good people to represent we the people, and Holly is one of those people. As I said, I I completely endorse her for Congress. So please, if you live in Ohio, get out there, get one of the good people in all right.

Romans fourteen to two says one faith allows them to eat anything, but another whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. It may sound kind of. Foreign, the idea of meat being an investment, but as you go to the grocery store you can see that everything is increased. This is including beef. So buy something that's got a ten to fifteen year shelf life and make sure that your family is okay, and that when there's a crisis, that you're not in a breadline waiting on the government asking police, sir, may I have some more? Have you read the ingredients in the meats that are now in the grocery stores these days? There's all sorts of synthetic products in it. We've got mRNA, they've got vaccine technology in it. Not for me. I don't want to eat that garbage. I know that I can trust the people at grid downshoutdown dot com because it is one ingredient, and that one ingredient is beef. But the process is so simple. All you do is go down to your basement or your bunker if you're so lucky, grab the vacuum sealed package, go upstairs to your kitchen, open it up, add a little bit of water, wait a little bit, and boom. It's rehydrated and you can make anything you want, tacos, lasagna, hamburgers, whatever you'd like with the beef. Your family is going to be happy and you're going to be well fed. I need you all to go to griddownshowdown dot com and put in an order for this storable beef. They got lots of different options for you.
