Praise be the most holy name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, now and forever and ever. Amen. June 29, 2025, a wonderful day for the Holy Church. Today, the Church celebrates the feast day of the Princess of the Church, the very early Apostles St. Peter and Paul. In this serenity, remember what the Lord said to his apostles on the Gospel of John, chapter 15, verse 16. You did not choose me, but I chose you and I appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide. In this serenity, we wish everybody in the world a wonderful and happy feast day. And with me on the other side from California at this time, as a matter of fact, is a wonderful friend, a wonderful mother, wonderful professional and investigative journalist, and a podcaster herself as well, Lara Logan, a friend of the show and friend of Father Andrew and a mission of hope and mercy. I want to wish you a happy feast day and I welcome you directly to the show.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thank you so much, Father. And same to you.
SPEAKER 03 :
You know, Laura, when I lived in Italy, one of my favorite places to go visit was the place where Jesus and St. Peter met. So in the year 66 or 67, probably a few months before St. Peter was killed by the Emperor Nero, you know, Peter was running away from Rome because, of course, Jesus gave him the keys to the kingdom and told him, you’re the best and you’re the big apostle. You have the keys to the kingdom of heaven. And then when the Emperor Nero in Rome started killing the Christians, basically, Peter decided that it is for his best interest to run away. As usual, Peter wasn’t really always the best character in his courage. But as he was running away, he goes to a crossroad. We know in Rome it’s called the Via Ardiatina and Via Appia. And so one road is called in English, basically, the road of the bees, like the bees, the bees, the honeybees, basically. And Via Ardiatina is the road of the fire, the road of the fire. And there Peter looks and he sees a naked man carrying a wood piece like a cross and walking towards Rome in a hurry and he’s naked. And Peter stops and looks at the naked man and he tells him, Lord, where are you going? And Jesus answers him, I am going to Rome to be crucified for my people because you’re leaving me. And of course, Peter immediately leaves his stick there on Via Aria Athena and the Via Aria goes back to the Circo Massimo inside the Vatican, which today there is a corner of the Basilica of St. Peter, the museums on the Vatican and the Cappella Sistina, the Sistine Chapel. And there he faces face to face Nero. And he tells him now this place, which was always the place where Satan governed the world, is going to be the rock, the foundation of the church. And funny enough that we know, in fact, that St. Peter was buried on the corner side of the Circo Massimo. And then later on, King Constantine built this big basilica. And in fact, the basilica is built above the actual pillar under which the Peter is buried. Today, it is an engineering fact. If you try to remove the head of St. Peter from underneath that pillar, the cupola of St. Peter falls, literally. The basilica of St. Peter falls. So this is to remind us that in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 16, from verse 12 to 22, Jesus tells Peter, you are the rock, and on this rock I will build my church. And the gates of hell will not prevail, I guess. Lara Logan, good Sunday morning. I’m not going to speak a lot. I want to introduce you to our dear friend, Kirk Hahn. He’s a constitutional lawyer and a friend of the Mission of Hope and Mercy here in Colorado. And we now want to talk to you to make the case for the world, to make the case for President Trump. to make the case also for the poor people in the Middle East and the people in the United States, to make the case for peace. What is going on between Iran and the United States and Israel from the perspective of what we think President Trump is trying to measure and put together? And what kind of action is he considering today?
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, you know, if you listen to President Trump over time, one area where he’s very inconsistent is that he has always said he will never show him his hand, right? He’s a poker player. And so, you know, whatever he’s saying publicly, he’s leaving a lot out. You know, he’s demonstrated that that is the case. And he also, when he was asked this question by a reporter, he said, why would I tell you what I’m planning on doing? So I think, I always think it’s important to And listen to what people tell you with their own words, right? What do the Iranians say? What does the regime say versus what do the people say? What do the people, the opposition say versus what do those who are pro the regime say? And the same in the United States. What is President Trump saying publicly? What is this administration doing? How do the words measure up against the actions? You know, and it’s the same thing. So we would be Israelis, right? But what we can clearly see here is that when October 7th came along, And Hamas crossed the border into Israel. As you know very well with your knowledge and experience in the region coming from Lebanon, Hamas did that with the backing, both financial and physical, ideological backing of the state of Iran. You could argue credibly that without Iran, October 7th would never have happened. Hamas, not very long ago, was an organization that nobody took very seriously because on their own, their capability is extremely limited. And so the professionalization of Hamas largely linked to their relationship with Hezbollah, which is another Iranian proxy, as you know, people in Lebanon are very familiar with Hezbollah. So really, when you look at that, in a sense, Israel has been at war with Iran from the very beginning. And of course, you can go back further. Because from the beginning of Israel, from the day that it was founded, the rulers of Iran, from the moment they got into power, they asked no time in condemning the state of Israel. And they have never delivered a statement of death to the great Satan, which is the United States of America, and death to Israel. So the regime in Iran, I don’t know if people in the U.S. really factor into their analysis the fact that the regime in Iran has not changed for many, many, many decades. And so you have a consistent policy. Now, in the United States, you know, you get a government, you get an administration, you get a Republican administration in Syria. Those come from opposing points of view, and some things are consistent, but a lot of how policies change over time. Well, this is not the case with Iran. They have been consistent from the very beginning that, as far as they’re concerned, the state of Israel is legitimate, has no right to exist, and their state of objective is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. So we know that the United States’ relationship with Israel, we know that the United States has been an ally and a friend to Israel for a long time. But what we leave out of that part of the conversation is that Israel is of huge strategic importance to the United States. So people act as if this is a one-way relationship. That, you know, it’s only because of the Israeli lobby in the United States or because, you know, there are Jewish people that run Hollywood, you know, Jewish people that run in the banking sector or whatever. You know, people argue that there’s a disproportionate number of Jewish people that are involved in the politics of the banking and lobbying and so on. So because of one of these things, what we leave out of that conversation is the strategic importance of Israel to the United States of America. We know that Iran is backed by Russia, backed by China, backed by, you know, its annual career and so on. But what does that really mean? It means that the adversaries of the United States are aligned together in their relationship with Iran. So, of course, when the United States is talking about Iran, they really are talking about everybody else. So when Iran is talking about the United States, they know exactly. They’re speaking in many respects on behalf of this united force of adversaries of the U.S. There are a lot of people in the United States that want peace through strength and strength through peace, and they don’t want to see the U.S. You can hear it. There’s a groundswell of people, even within the conservative debates or from the right, that is saying, we don’t want to go to war anymore. We don’t want to go to war anymore. So what do they not address? Well, it’s a nice idea that you can just have peace through stories and you can only have stories through peace. And that’s a great idea that we have in the luxury of having those kind of conversations in the United States because we had peace in the United States for so long. And it doesn’t account for the fact that we have, the United States has adversaries who seek the demise of this country. So Iran is one of those adversaries. Unfortunately, in this moment, Iran has been aided in their anti-Semitism towards the United States. My politicians within the United States have set out a leadership within the United States. Barack Obama gave Iran—it’s no secret that former President Barack Obama gave Iran— millions and millions and millions of dollars in the area to stop a nuclear program that we all knew it wasn’t going to stop the nuclear program. All it did was help Iran finance terrorist organizations and terrorist crises all across the world. So whether, you know, you could say, you could make an argument that the United States has been at war with Iran for a very long time. For example, the Houthis have been bombing ships in the Straits of Hormuz. Bush supplies the Houthis with weapons. Bush supplies the Houthis with training. This is Houthis with ideological or state hacking. I mean, this is Iran, Iran, Iran, Iran. So, you know, I’m trying to give you, I don’t want to knock on your ears and say, here’s the, you will ask me any question. And the big step. Instead, I have to say that an important strategic relationship with Israel and right now the United States has really watched as Israel has gotten rid of, reduced the capability of Hamas and Hezbollah without having to put a single American soldier on the ground or an American soldier in harm’s way. So I know you want to add to something.
SPEAKER 03 :
I want to give you the whole time in the world because you know how much I trust your opinion. You come also from a background that you know a lot about the region. I’m just a frustrated person. And in the beginning, I am a prince. You are a mother. You are a real American. And you connect also to the Middle East, to North Africa, to South Africa. I mean, you have yourself international care as well for the world. You said there’s a further hate that goes back and the consistency of the hate that Iran also promoted since 1979. But they ask you that simple question. Khomeini was raised with France, right? Khomeini, the founder of the Muslim resolution. And this always somehow puts us in a perplexed situation as Lebanese people. You know, before I came in America, you and Joe and many friends have helped in Iraq. They hurt me, right? They hurt me when they thought I’m the priest who blessed the White House and, you know, I gave the sketch of Alidou Fatima to the president. Immediately, they hurt me. They used the church even, right, to try to dethrone me. They must probably, they think they succeeded. But look now what’s happening to them. 1983 Beirut Barak bombings was a terrorist attack on U.S. Marines. Ronald Reagan had the upper hand in Lebanon to respond. Why didn’t I dare? Instead, he decides to withdraw from Lebanon, to withdraw from the Middle East. Immediately. We lost 241 American servicemen. We lost another 50 or so French as well, you know, servicemen in the French military. About 350 people actually died after that bombing. Was that the right decision as a foreign policy at that time? Couldn’t then that fight with Hezbollah have been accomplished right then and there? Hezbollah did not even have 5,000 soldiers in Lebanon. I was capable to blow up an entire barricade and walk through Beirut and bomb the U.S. embassy. Was this really something… I do not know. Is it really, these were natural things happening? Were they taken really off guard? Or Hezbollah grew up from, you know, few weapons in their hands to 150,000, to 150,000 missiles and ballistic missiles planted everywhere in Lebanon, taking the Lebanese people and the Christians hostages and the local Muslim community hostages. And in 2006, as you know, I was stuck in Lebanon as well, and I was helping the refugees. Israel had the upper hand, and they almost terminated Hezbollah, but then they decided after 40 days, between July 4th all the way to August 22, they said, okay, now we stopped. We achieved our objective. After that, Iran and Hezbollah confiscated Lebanon. The Beirut bombing happened in 2020. And then you have more weapons, you know, of mass. Basically, we do not know what’s happening. Beirut explosion on, you know, August 4th of 2020 revealed that there is a dirty bomb, basically, somewhere in Beirut. And nobody spoke the word. Yeah, spoke about it. And you said domestically, our foreign policy, it seems we have poor policies with Iran. Some of us give them money, and we know they are consistent in their hate to Israel, to the Christians, and I’m sure they’re not free from ISIS, they’re not free from Al-Qaeda, they’re not free even from the Sunni Osiris. I think Iran has a hand somewhere. You know, with the Sunni Usulis movements, why was all of this allowed? And President Trump is aware of that. And I know from the beginning, he knows, he knows that he wants to make a peace in the world. Does he have enough support internally in the United States? Are we united enough or are we infiltrated?
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay, so, but I know you, I can follow you. So I think the most important thing, I think in a way you answered your own question. When you said, it appears that there are two competing policies. That is absolutely right. There have been, I think long before most of us, are you having any?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, I can’t tell you.
SPEAKER 04 :
Can you hear me now?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yes, I can hear you.
SPEAKER 04 :
long before many of us, certainly long before I realized it, there have been two competing factions, both within the United States and all over the world. And those factions, you know, sometimes they overlap, sometimes they cross over political lines. But essentially, what you’re looking at is people with a globalist point of view and people who believe in nation-states and continuing to rule according to the principles on which this country was founded. So if you try to evaluate American or Israeli policy within a one-dimensional lens, then it is hard really to, I think, to have clarity on a number of issues because it appears to be contradictory because it is contradictory. This is true. And what I would say to you is, yes, it’s a fair question that, OK, when they had the opportunity to do this, why didn’t they do it? Well, you know, we can’t go back in time and answer that definitively at that moment. But what we can do is we can look at the patterns that emerge over time and what has emerged over time. Is that really, you know, we see within the intelligence services of the United States and across the government, we see that there are there are many people who are pursuing an agenda that is counter to the sitting president of the United States today. OK, that’s one thing. The other thing is that there is a massive distrust. in the government after COVID, after the vaccines, after, say, WMD in Iraq. These are the things that people talk about, right? They say, well, the government lied before, so they must be lying now. The government has lied to us so many times, I don’t believe them anymore. I don’t believe anything they say. They’re all liars. And this is a massive crisis in confidence and trust in government in the United States. The same thing is happening in the media. The same thing is happening in other institutions. And so this presents a massive problem for President Trump and his administration. But it doesn’t mean necessarily that they’re lying. I mean, they might be. They might not be lying. Right. And what the difficulty that the average person has is that you don’t know whether or not you can trust someone. You don’t know which part of the information to trust and which part of the information. Do we know who our enemies are?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, you know, I believe in that sense, in listening very closely to what people say. I believe in going to the source. And if you go to the Ayatollah Khamenei and you listen to what he has said, he’s been consistent for a very long time. Death to America and death to Israel. And the actions that Iran has carried out on the ground are consistent with that stated policy. His lieutenants, the other clerics in the regime, what is said at Friday prayers in the mosque, That has all been consistent with that policy of death to Israel and death to the United States. So I believe that. I believe that that’s what they mean. You know, however, does that represent all of the Iranian people? Of course not. You know, I was meeting with the Iranian… opposition members in Diyala province in Iraq, north of Baghdad. I met with them many times when I lived in Iraq for five years. And I have followed the Iranian opposition for, what do we know, so for going on three decades. And, you know, there are so many people across Iran who have sacrificed everything to get out on the streets, to voice their opposition to the regime. Girls, women who have taken off their hijabs or who have sung in public or spoken in public or danced in public, you know, normal everyday things and freedoms and rights for which they have been, many of them have been disappeared or arrested, tortured, murdered. And so on, right? Many of them are still in captivity today. Many of them, nobody knows what happened to them. But after a while, everyone knows that they’re dead. So if you try to understand from the perspective of the Iranian people, they have lived under an oppressive regime that doesn’t, for many of them, it doesn’t represent who they are or what they see.
SPEAKER 03 :
But the way to take off that regime now requires a nuclear intervention, it seems. Or at least there is a nuclear risk to get rid of that regime. Yeah.
SPEAKER 04 :
I would be, you know, I would caution against saying, I would absolutely say 100% it doesn’t require nuclear intervention. I mean, when you say, depending on what you mean by nuclear intervention, that sounds like, you know, a nuclear strike. In that sense, which is probably not what you meant, you mean intervening in Iran’s nuclear program.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, I actually meant that there are two studies that were presented to the president, one of which is stating that probably that type of bomb, they’re trying to say that it will work. They told the president it may not actually work. They might need other tactics that involve some nuclear limited things, whatever. I do not really understand the language to begin with. And we know that by now there are leaks, there are damages in the nuclear plants somewhere in Iran. And we know there is about 9 million people living in Tehran by itself. What about looking at the other sides of the Iranian people? And as you said, not all the Iranian people, you know, they like their regime to begin with. They try to stand against this. The losses and the potential losses. will be going on, it seems, if we intervene, because there is no other way, right? We have to stop their nuclear program. We’re not going to compromise that.
SPEAKER 04 :
It certainly appears that the policy of the present administration of the United States of America is that they are not prepared to allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. And many people are asking online or have asked me, if you were Iranian, wouldn’t you want to have a nuclear weapon? Well, I mean, probably, but that’s only one part of the whole situation. Strategically, the justification the U.S. has for not allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon is that Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism worldwide and that you have a genocidal regime. And by that, I mean they have referred to it as a stated policy of the regime is the genocide of the Jewish people and Israel and wiping Israel off the map. And not only that, Iran has has processes all over the world. So would Iran give nuclear weapons to the Houthis? in Yemen, quite possibly, because they know that if the Houthis in Yemen take the action, that comes back on the Houthis, and they can claim plausible deniability. Whether people believe them or not is another issue. But I just want to say something important about the nuclear factor here. So two things. One is that when you talk about, you know, what is it that Iran had or didn’t have, it centers around the issue of enriched uranium, right? I mean, some people will say, oh, Iran isn’t trying to make a bomb. They’re just trying to build a civilian program. Well, you don’t need enriched uranium for a civilian nuclear energy program. So that’s a ridiculous argument for people who don’t understand anything about nuclear energy. That’s the one thing. The second thing is that when you are enriching uranium, which is what you need for a nuclear bomb, and the speed with which that is happening, that’s the issue here that the United States is citing to justify action. But it’s not in isolation, because the other part of that issue is the fact that Iran is working as has its missile capability, its intercontinental ballistic missile capability. And anyone who’s looked at you know, in any of the video online and seen Iran firing, you know, 200, 300, 400, 500, you know, ballistic missiles at Israel. If you understand the technology and you understand the force, the potential that that has, if that breaks through the Iron Dome in any kind of, you know, large capacity, the state of Israel, which is tiny, could very well be obliterated. Not to mention that certain nuclear experts cite the fact that Iran’s capability into ballistic missiles
SPEAKER 03 :
By the same means, I’m sorry, I’m reverbing a lot. You know, by the same means, Egypt will be obliterated, Jordan will be obliterated, Lebanon will be obliterated. Oh, she can’t hear me now. Okay, one second. Okay, you can hear me now again. You know, by the same means, if Israel is hit, actually Jordan could be obliterated, Lebanon could be obliterated, Egypt, part of it could be obliterated. I mean, Israel and Lebanon and Jordan and Syria are practically almost the same country, right? In reality, they are the same geographical area somehow. And I’m sure everybody’s going to be affected. We’ve been watching those missiles crossing Lebanon and we see them in the sky. And I send you some videos. It’s actually scary. This war is definitely scary.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, because any of those missiles could, you know, misfire and land in any of those countries along the way. Sometimes they misfire and fall in Iran, you know, and sometimes they’ve landed in Gaza. So, yes, it is terrifying. But also, I’m glad you mentioned the region because it’s time for the world to be honest about a couple of things. You know, Jordan, Egypt, all of these countries work behind the scenes with Israel. They don’t want to say it publicly. They want to pretend. But especially when it comes to countries that are founded in majority Sunni Islamic countries, as opposed to the Shiites of Iran, these countries definitely do not want to see Iran establish itself and reestablish Persian hegemony in the region. which is a stated goal of the regime in Iran as well. So, you know, while you have a lot of these countries will, of course, they express outrage about the people, Palestinians dying in Gaza and so on. But what they do is they help the Israelis behind the scene. They deliberately keep the Palestinians as stateless people. They don’t give them citizenship in their countries. The refugees have had, you know, in any other war situation, refugees living in your country for that long would have acquired citizenship. It doesn’t happen in these countries because they use the Palestinian people like a tool. That’s all they are.
SPEAKER 03 :
Larab, we have one minute before our friends in KNUS will have to leave us, and then we stay on for KLZ for another few, seven minutes. Is this a religious war?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, it’s a war between good and evil. And I, you know, I hesitate to say religious war in the sense that people want to say it’s Islam versus Christianity and so on. It’s not really. This is a war of good people of any faith versus evil people of faith or without a faith. I truly believe that. And I think a lot of people can see that. You know, and it’s really important to me that we don’t get pushed into these fake paradigms. It’s a fake paradigm that if you are against Sharia law in the United States, you’re now against Islam. You know, or if you as a Muslim, you don’t want the ability to raise your daughters the way you want to in your part of the world. Well, OK, you get the right to do that. Just don’t, you know, it’s just that in the United States, I don’t really want to do that.
SPEAKER 03 :
This is a beautiful, this is a beautiful way you explained that this is a war between good versus evil inside every religion or no religion at all. I want to say a wonderful Sunday and happy feast day to all of our listeners on KNUS 710 AM. And I wish you a wonderful and happy Sunday. This was Father Andre with Lara Rogan. And we are talking about the situation in Iran, in Israel and in the United States. Please stay tuned for next Sunday as well as we continue to follow up with the situation and let us pray for peace. And thank you for being with us. Do not forget to go online and visit missionofhopeandmercy.org. Lara, I want to continue with you for our listeners on 33 Minutes on the Lord’s Day. Speaking now, this is a war between good and evil. Who do you think has the moral superior authority to… basically knowing that we’re dealing here with nuclear risk. We are dealing with nuclear risk. Who has the moral authority to say, as a leader, now I want to interfere, knowing that the consequences could be losses of lives, losses of nations in the world, or possible nuclear attack of some sort, or escalation to a nuclear war? Do you really see from your information there could be that risk, or I’m talking of a risk that may not really necessarily be a reality? Yeah.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, the first part is you said, who has the moral authority to decide what risk is acceptable? The problem with the premise of that question is that built into it, it’s implied that if you just don’t take any act at all, the risk goes away. All the risk goes away. And that is not true. So it’s not like if you act, you create a problem. And if you don’t act, you fix the problem. You know, those are not the only options here. In fact, there’s just as much chance of there being, you know, a massive war and nuclear risk if Trump fails to act and does nothing and the United States is regarded as weak and useless, you know, and is then dismissed. It doesn’t serve as a deterrent to action all over the world. So that’s one part of it. And the second part of it is that nobody can sit here and tell you that there is zero risk. As long as a country has nuclear weapons, you can argue that there is some risk. However, my personal belief, based on my experience and my analysis of the situation, I do think that the risk of nuclear war here is being exaggerated, not by the Trump administration. A nuclear weapon in the hands of a rogue state that has terrorist properties all over the world and that has demonstrated a complete lack of of conscience in many respects, and it does not consider itself bound by international regulation. We don’t allow every country on earth to have nuclear weapons. It’s not a nuclear free-for-all, and people will be jumping up and down saying, but Israel has nuclear weapons, and they won’t sign an unproliferation treaty. Of course they won’t, because they are postage stamp. They’re this size, and they’re surrounded in a region by millions and millions of people, many of whom stated goal is to wipe Israel off the map. So, you know, Israel has to have that there as a deterrent. But I will say this to you. Nobody seems to follow a nuclear strike to its logical conclusion, which is that, you know, if Iran uses a nuclear weapon against Israel, The United States is going to be compelled to use a nuclear weapon against Iran. If Pakistan or any other country launches a nuclear weapon, they’re going to be obliterated in return. So the reality is that the United States and the president has a moral responsibility to do everything within his power to ensure that it doesn’t reach that point.
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s beautiful. You answered every question, actually. You really answered every question with great clarity. So I’m like you. I do believe that up to this point, President Trump is going to act according to his conscience, to the best benefit of the good versus evil in the world, and with the most limited consequences possible that could be probably creating a bigger war or escalation to a nuclear thing. I think he’s going to He’s going to act right, right? It’s just what you’re saying. If he’s going to act, it’s going to be from within the spectrum of the principle of proportionality and just war doctrine, which is pleasing, basically, to all religions, most likely.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, you know, I think it appears to me, based on his statements, that what President Trump is really trying to do is to nip this in the bud by allowing and supporting Israel in their attempt to obliterate Iran’s nuclear weapons program. They’re both acting as a deterrent, right? Because you could argue that, you know, one Iranian scientist is killed, but the next one comes along and continues the program. The question is, how many people are lining up to continue the program if everybody involved in it is dead? You know, that doesn’t mean that no one will ever stand up. You might say that that will, you know, that that can give rise. Some young Iranian kid watching Israel do this is going to grow up with hatred in his heart and be determined to go up to Israel for as long as he has breath in his body. Well, you can argue that. But the alternative has been a demonstrable failure. Because Iran has continued with its policies. It has continued to enrich uranium. It has continued to grow its terrorist boxes all over the world. And it has continued to interfere in other nations. What is ironic here is that the U.S. and Israel, you know, are attacked for interfering in other nations. But Iran interferes in nations all over the world. I mean, Zita, your fellow Christians in Lebanon.
SPEAKER 03 :
I love to talk about this, honestly, if you give me time for next time as well, because you know my situation. We know Lebanon’s situation. And you know they are in South America, even in the U.S. They have almost intercontinental workforce for them, right? They’re not only restricted to Iran. I think they have enough support all over the world. It seems we are… facing a challenging situation, as it says, for good versus evil. Humanity is in tremendous suffering, and there is confusion, and there are enemies within the gate in every nation, and there are good people within the gate in every nation. It seems that President Trump is going back to defund that our United States of America is one nation under God, It is a good nation, despite the polarization and its foreign policy sometimes, and the differences in the way we deal with many nations and how we make treatments. At least in his administration, he’s going to make sure the United States is standing for what is good and for peace in the world. This is what you basically are saying. I’d love to develop this with you more, Lara. Our time is up at this point. You’ve been amazing. My friends, pray for peace. Pray for President Trump. Pray for our government. Pray for the United States of America. Because honestly, as Lara is saying, the action that we are about to take, or we have taken by the time of the show being broadcasted, it has to be good for humanity, for peace in the world, for the future of the humanity, and for all the nations of the world. We are trying to seek peace, truth, strength. And now we need a prayer so that peace and truth and strength does not come with a lot of damage.
