| 0:04.9 | I have an awesome guest on the show with me today. Mike Ferris is going to join me for a few |
| 0:09.7 | minutes and give us an update on some of the big issues that we are that are going through the courts |
| 0:15.7 | right now, not the least of which is an update on the Johnson Amendment, which is finally, finally, finally, |
| 0:22.5 | hopefully once and for all being challenged. |
| 0:24.9 | This, of course, would give pastors the permission, not that they needed it, but it would restore |
| 0:30.7 | the ability of pastors to speak openly about their political beliefs and even endorse |
| 0:37.0 | candidates from the pulpit if they so choose.

| 1:46.5 | without breaking down. So if you're frying or if you're trying to, you know, roast something or |
| 1:51.4 | sear your steak, for example, beef tallow is the way to go. And it actually adds flavor. Hello, |
| 1:57.7 | not just grease. It actually acts. It's actually flavorful. Tallow isn't neutral. It's rich and savory. I love cooking with it at my house. And I was so happy to see My Freedom Cart come out with beef tallow. They also have the best beef turkey and the best beef sticks on the market. So you can tell your girl, Heidi, is a bit of a carnivore. Anyway, check it out, you guys. Myfreedomcart.com forward slash Heidi. |
