Radio Show Hour 1 – 07/31/2024

[00:00:00] Broadcasting Live from the top of Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West. You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show Talk Show. Alright, having to have you along my fellow Americans, Sam Bushman live on your radio.

[00:00:29] Hard hitting news that I've refused to use, no doubt starts now. This is my fellow Americans, is the broadcast for July 31st in the New York, the New York Times. This is our one of two illegal always to protect life, Liberty and property

[00:00:45] to promote God-family and country through saw in your radio in the traditions of our founding fathers. Yes indeed we use the blueprint for liberty, the Supreme Law, the land, the Constitution for the United States of America, as our guide after all it is the Supreme Law.

[00:00:59] We also regret the lack of use of the checks and balances our founding fathers really put these checks and balances in place to give us authority and power and make sure we retain our sovereignty, our liberty, our freedom.

[00:01:13] And that is the peaceful solution we have at our fingertips today demand on the checks and balances people get involved in meaningful ways. As you know, we reject revolution and stand for restoration.

[00:01:25] Unless of course it's a Jesus revolution then we're in because we fall the prince of peace. Welcome to the broadcast. Hope you're all doing absolutely fantastic. I got an incredible guest that will be with me both hours today, but first a little bit of housekeeping.

[00:01:39] Yesterday's show was a very incredible first hour non-political show. I had on guest Michael Harrison he's the founder and president of Talkers Magazine, Talkers.com his website. And we talked about the talkers 2024 radio and beyond conferences in the history books now,

[00:01:59] but it was a great conference. It was in New York. All kinds of heavy hitters there. I'm talking the leader of Salem Broadcasting was there and a bunch of Talks Show hosts, Glenn Beck gave the keynote.

[00:02:09] Anyway you get the chance to rub shoulders with some pretty heavy hitters at that event. And it's not a liberal or a conservative, you know, it's not a Republican or a Democrat or any of those things. Everybody just comes together and talks about radio.

[00:02:24] We talked about advertising and we talked about costs and the changes in advertising and how you just can't run 30 second and 60 second radio commercials anymore. It just doesn't work. It's boring. People turn it off. It's too long. It's just not effective.

[00:02:38] We talked about the solutions in the ways forward. We talked about how to discuss things in ways that, you know what? You can have your point of view and the first amendment is vitally important,

[00:02:48] you can't do so in sideline. Everybody else, we're becoming way too divisive in America. Anyway it was a great, great conference. You know, a lot of folks would say, you know, it's not the new media release, but they covered a lot of new media topics though.

[00:03:01] It wasn't traditional AM and FM radio. It was covering all kinds of new media. You know, social media, all kinds of stuff. How radio is doing visual radio now and, you know, a lot of people are doing unique things in their studios to attract attention.

[00:03:18] We talked about how local things are and then we talked about a column. It's a tiny column, but a column nevertheless, Michael wrote, We were in the Golden Age of Commentary. Michael Harrison Talkers.com, check that out.

[00:03:32] And we talked really about how, you know what? The news cycle is 24-7 now. There's no way to avoid it. How do you embrace it? How do you afford it? How do you deal with it? Anyway, a lot of that was on tap yesterday. Great, great commentary.

[00:03:45] We talked a lot about AI. And so Michael Harrison is with a band. I know he's the leader of Talkers magazine, but he's also in a rock band called Gunhill Road and Gunhill Road released a breathtaking new song and a video titled Artificial Intelligence.

[00:04:05] No robots were injured in the production of this song. And it's pretty cool because it talks about kind of what's going on. If you want to check that out, go to Gunhill Road, music.com.

[00:04:20] And you can check that out. What's cool about it is it's kind of an old school song. It's got horns and piano and guitar and drums. It's all old school. However, the video is incredibly AI-generated by Michael Sun who happens to be very capable,

[00:04:39] but he's also an attorney and more. Anyway, and it talks about AI and talks about our world changing.

[00:04:44] How are you going to avoid AI? How eventually are you going to avoid the idea that they want to plant chips in your head and they want to tap AI into your brain? And they're going to create this superhuman class.

[00:04:55] Is it going to happen? I believe that it is. Is it dangerous? Absolutely. Is it playing God without question? Is it problematic? In many, many, many, many, and that's what the song highlights in many ways. Yes.

[00:05:06] But we can't avoid it. What can we do about it? And we highlighted the fact that what we can do about it is we can look forward to knowing that we're human.

[00:05:14] And knowing that if we control the tech, meaning we the people, we can make sure that it's not evil. Text neither good nor evil. It's whoever uses it. How they use it. Right? In the hands of whom with what their intent, their heart is.

[00:05:28] That's what it will be. We need to make sure we're on the forefront of that as the point because it's coming like it or not. We also talked about Gunhill Road. I don't know what you call a bad member Michael Harrison.

[00:05:41] In barks on an absolute slob's media tour in support of his provocative new music video and I found that fascinating. He says, you know, why provocative slob's? Because if he takes over nobody works, what are you going to do?

[00:05:58] This can be a slob hanging out and doing another, you know, that's kind of the inference that they want you to believe. I don't think it's all true.

[00:06:05] I think that we can use AI. And I think we can use high tech to really make a difference in our lives in some incredible ways. You know, you've heard about the four hour work week and this kind of stuff might actually come true.

[00:06:17] But the question is what could we pursue? What lofty things could we do if we had a lot more time on our hands? You know, back in the day they had to spend tons of tons of time just trying to get their clothes washed and their food made.

[00:06:28] And all the different things they had to do right? Well, now we've got washer machines and air conditioning and cars and all those complicated.

[00:06:38] We've got a lot of time on our hands compared to yesterday year. Well, it's going to happen again and you're going to have a lot more time on your hands. What are you going to do with your time?

[00:06:46] You can sit around and be a fat obsolete slob or you're going to do something productive with it. Anyway, we ended kind of on that note.

[00:06:53] Why do I spend so much time on that? Because it's non-political because it's uniquely positioned to it doesn't matter if you're black or white or right or left or any of those kind of things.

[00:07:03] Blind sighted whatever male female look everybody's going to confront this stuff and we're going to confront it together. And how do we do so equitably? But how do we do so also? But not falling into this DEI psychotic Satanic agenda. How do we do all that?

[00:07:18] Anyway, great commentary with Michael Harris and talkers.com. He is a critical thinker.

[00:07:24] And I'm not even going to agree with him politically on everything but I'll tell you what I agree with him on. He's a great dude and he means well and he's got a good heart and he's got an intelligent really thoughtful mind which really matters.

[00:07:36] All right, then second hour I had to share a fruit you're back on with me and I also had Bill Mitchell the Florida Constitutional Sheriff's of Peace Officers Association State Director.

[00:07:47] And we talked about what's going on. What's going on? Yes, we're having a huge event. That's what's going on in Orlando, Florida. And so we talked about the National Dets or past 35 trillion for the first time on Monday. We talked about the text messages relating to Trump shooting.

[00:08:08] And they knew about this guy two hours ahead of time. How can we keep getting updated changes? First they claim they didn't even know now they're going more and more and more evidence they knew.

[00:08:18] And they didn't do anything about it. The question is why people are drilling into that as things unfold. It's taken forever but we'll keep an eye on that ball just for you, but he was even using a range finder looking towards the stage.

[00:08:31] And they knew they even tell the secret services guys got a range finder and he's looking at the stage. What's going on? Do something about it. Nothing was done. Anyway, we also talked about registered now.

[00:08:43] Become the solution to the red the restoration of our country calling all patriots faith-based leaders sheriff's elected officials when September 6th and 7th. It's going to be the what's this hotel called the Rosen Schingle Creek.

[00:09:18] Also, the Democrats, they don't know what to do even with Kamala Harris and crew. So their new phrase is quote, it's getting weird. Simple insult they say is Democrats latest talking point.

[00:09:31] USA today believe it or not covers that that's what's getting weird and they say can the phrase stick. I think it'll stick. I just think it'll backfire and beyond those who supposedly created the slogan. I'm telling you right now it will backfire there so weird and extreme.

[00:09:48] It will not go well for them. Right. Final couple of quick things in our cast. Okay. Hang tight. I'm getting to it. I'm sorry. I'm slow. I'm just there's so much news people.

[00:10:07] Some's it's an debate between the second third largest county in the country, right huge huge used to be Joe our pile slot right former sheriff Joe right. Well, it was Harry Sheridan has won the AZ Republican primary in a landslide.

[00:10:24] It's incredible. Now I don't know why Joe our pilot didn't endorse this guy. But I will say this. It's incredible he won by a landslide and it's the sheriff that we've been backing because he's caused the Tushalies a great dude.

[00:12:27] I think that my family has always had a big influence on me for not smoking because sometimes little i was taught that smoking was wrong. Recent studies indicate that smoking among teens often leads to the use of alcohol and other drugs.

[00:12:40] I think having faith in God is a big part in it because the way i was raised has helped to avoid smoking smoking.

[00:12:49] If you think you're old enough to start your smart enough to stop a public service message from this station and the church of Jesus Christ of la day Saints.

[00:13:08] All right ladies and gentlemen so much news so little time i can tell you that for sure last i had line besides the fact that Jerry shared in one and a landslide primary yesterday and Arizona incredible news all of it they get got to have more other i'll tell you that right now.

[00:13:23] In Arizona also carry late beat former sheriff markland by 15 percent now that's something solid to wow and i like markland is a great guy friend of mine but man carry late taking away.

[00:13:36] It's hard when you got to friends in the race right carries a friend marks a friend really hard when both of them are in a way you know what do you do anyway there you have it though.

[00:13:45] Last headline and this is something I really want to kind of highlight that's really important. Kimberly aid. Cheatle whatever you want to call her she's the secret service director right anyway she resigned as you know a day after. In listen carefully declining to answer lawmakers questions.

[00:14:07] About sight lines and security breakdowns at the hearing on capital hell now. I got a question. Can you just decide to not answer questions.

[00:14:24] So to me you need to go to prison for that now you can say when i'm in it saying people have their own rights to you know the fifth amendment people have.

[00:14:33] And then not when you are the leader of a huge government organization designed for security of the highest offices in the land and your job is to protect them i don't think.

[00:14:46] That you can just not answer questions so i don't understand why they're not all over this i don't care if you're a public and democrat left right tall short black white i don't give a rip that any of that i'm telling you right now.

[00:14:58] What on earth is happening she just refused answer questions i thought you were there to answer questions under oath. And silence might be fine individually as a person.

[00:15:10] But you lose your personhood to some degree in terms of we're asking the director these questions we're not asking him these questions do you understand that difference we're talking about her position director answer this question i don't care about Kim.

[00:15:23] You know Kim doesn't have to tell you her do you okay but you can't just not answer the questions. So in my opinion i don't see why there's not serious repercussions for this oh you say will say i'm she resigned that ain't enough.

[00:15:35] Can even a president and i'd say if he's done something wrong the house and peaches him.

[00:15:41] The senate then confirms and removes him from office and then after that if you study the constitution they can go ahead and press charges i think seven in each to file and press charges against Kim.

[00:15:53] And say you know what you don't get this personal you're not above the law you don't have diplomatic immunity or something and think you can just whatever no no no no when you're not answering these questions you are obstructing justice.

[00:16:06] Do you understand do you read me loud and clear okay anyway i wanted to get that out and no one's bringing this up that i know of.

[00:16:12] But me so you know what Kim cheatle i understand that you resigned and i'm glad you needed to for sure it was dereliction of duty to say the least i got it.

[00:16:21] But we're talking above and beyond that a thousand fold look what happened here you tell me where the players were on the chess board you tell me what communications you did or didn't have these are facts we're digging for.

[00:16:32] That relating to your position as director and when you agreed to be director you know what you have a serious obligation of the american people here and you can't just go i'm not answering your questions and i resign goodbye.

[00:16:44] No no no no no okay i don't know who's talking about this but me but i'm talking about it bold nobly clear direct i'm telling you right now it's unacceptable stuff.

[00:16:54] Right enough of that our guest now we have a lot of interesting guests on the radio as you know but i'm telling you right now we got one very interesting gentleman with me. And despite all of his trials and difficulties.

[00:17:08] Kelvin still says it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood many things he's missed a rod you're studying but you know what when you hear that he tells about this guy you're going to go how the heck can you say it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

[00:17:20] Because it's attitude people it's attitude equals altitude that's how that's why his name is kelvin crossbee.

[00:17:29] He's also nicknamed the death blind potter if you want to learn more about him you can go to calvin or kelvin crossbee dot com that's k el v i n kelvin crossbee c r o s b y dot com he's deafblind.

[00:17:44] But he's managed to do some incredible things which we're going to talk about and most important of all the things that he's done it's not the actions it's not the things that he's accomplished those are incredible i get it.

[00:17:56] But what's amazing about him is his attitude about all that he's been through kelvin welcome to liberty round table life sir. And thank you so much for letting me be on here and that a beautiful day in the neighborhood man.

[00:18:09] Amen to that now people are wondering what if you'd have to find how the heck you're even on the radio most deafblind people can't speak so let's just start by talking about when you're born and kind of what that all looks like when you're born you're born with an inherited disease called usher's two.

[00:18:24] People don't need another details except for it's inherited and it can affect all kinds of things related to your health. That's the starting point right. Yeah so when I'm born about one and a half years old my parents started realizing that I wasn't developing my speech.

[00:18:39] And the doctor didn't this before they started doing hearing tests on all kids after they're being born and so they didn't man no idea that I was.

[00:18:48] I didn't have any hearing and so they got a hearing test and found that I was really hard to hearing and got my first hearing hand in and had that deaf voice for most of my.

[00:19:02] K through 12 life and it went into I really started learning how to sing be able to clean up my voice and really sound more clear can I tell you.

[00:19:12] Singing that's a some serious work but when you can't hear your own voice, do you like can you really sing? I mean, I don't know. I mean, I listen to the voice actually the TV show and there was a deaf girl on there

[00:19:27] buddy and she's saying bye by vibrations and she was dang good. Yeah, and that's how I learned it. And yeah, my scene coach, he put me on a piano and put my hands on the piano. I was like a quarter of a second behind,

[00:19:42] but I could meet the tone and just hit it. And I think one song and this one I got married and I said to my wife, I want to sing a song for you and I practiced that song really, really hard

[00:19:54] and I sang it for her when we got married. And I tell you, it changed my life in a whole different way that I ever really thought I would ever have happened. Because when I was from pretty much until college,

[00:20:09] go through that whole period, I had that deaf voice. But when I started singing and learned how to sing, I learned how to speak for my stomach, not for my nasal and it's early in the morning for me. So I still got that flim and all that stuff.

[00:20:25] So yeah, he's been sitting with him. He's been sitting with him. So it's super early for him. Now he kind of jumped ahead man. He's got a wife and all kind of stuff. He's an entrepreneur and everything else. We'll get to all that.

[00:20:35] But when you're born, you could see but you couldn't hear his that right? Yeah, exactly. And I was a successful soccer player. When I was 13 years old and on the soccer game, I was sitting on the field playing goalie and we were playing a team from Teoana.

[00:20:59] And the line on the field went out and the circuit breaker, like this kind of blew. And I couldn't see anything. And when that happened, my parents took me to the doctor shortly after.

[00:21:15] So all of a sudden when we say a circuit breaker, not for the whole arena, not real life for everybody. The whole arena. Oh, the whole arena. Okay, the whole arena blew and I panicked. Like I said dad dad, dad I can't see.

[00:21:28] I can't see because you know, people that have night, you can kind of give it a second and you'll be right. You'll be right. You'll be right. Well, I couldn't do that. And so my dad came and got me off the field

[00:21:44] and three months later, not when I would die and those with us as soon as I'm type two. Right now, usher syndrome just so people know, I mean, it's an inheritance. It's a very severe disease in many, many ways. It's a progressive disease,

[00:21:58] meaning it gets worse with age and everything. A lot of times when people have usher is they're born blind too. I mean, you're blessed in that it affected your sight way later, right? Yeah, one of the most usheres people is because one, two or three,

[00:22:13] you know when we start losing their vision around the age 13 and then legal blindness kind of hits a little bit later. And for me, legal blindness hit me when I was 19 and that was a definite devastating time for me. It wasn't easy because I've never figured

[00:22:31] being going to Bible school. I was up in the mountains and I couldn't, I couldn't read my books. I couldn't get to back to my house. I couldn't do any of that stuff. And I was like, what does the point of living?

[00:22:47] And I just walked right into it and then seeing you know, I'm finding myself hiking up the mountain in Sequoia, Nassau Park, 12 times and trying to find a bear to take my life. And it went until the 12th time where I had that still softway said Calvin, Calvin.

[00:23:09] I got to plan for you. I have a plan for you. I want you to walk down this mountain and I want you to embrace deaf blindness. I want you to take your deaf blindness and I want you to share it with the world

[00:23:25] and how you see the world and how you can help people live beyond their challenges. And it wasn't that easy. And it took a lot of work to learn how to have joy in deaf blindness. Not being able to hear and now not even

[00:23:44] able to drive anymore losing all my pro-forevision, couldn't even read the textbooks very well and I'm 19 years old but I'll never forget the day. I'll never forget the day. I was in the Jordan River. In Israel already hyped about 200 miles already.

[00:24:07] I'm in the Jordan River and they're the scripture and Isaiah, I might be, I think the second Kings. But there was a survey or a leader that would dip seven times into the Jordan River and he was healed from leprosy. I ain't tight the rest of the story

[00:29:05] which means by the time I get to school, I'm soaking wet. Dad picked me up just after I left and I was so mad. I got out and he said, wait, your mom said to give you this. I forgot my lunch money.

[00:29:13] And then I dropped it in the water and I was late for history and so at lunch time, I had to find something on John Stuart Mill, which of course, our library didn't have.

[00:29:20] So I had to walk all the way down to the office to call my mom and she found something on the internet and call me back. And Karen, she wouldn't even help me and that's a whole another story. But dad helped me conjugate nouns or whatever

[00:29:29] on the way to the swim team workout. And then he read my history paper while I was in the pool and of course I forgot the bibliography. So I had to do that with my mother when I got home

[00:29:36] and it made me totally forget that if my jeans and the wash are that boring, and I hate it when they sit, what like that all day and smell like, mildew. But my mom's such put them in the dryer while I was at the swim team

[00:29:43] and you know, I'm just not gonna go to the prom, no matter who asks me. I just wanna stay home with my mom and dad. Family and just hang out. Isn't it about time? Well, it does last me. From the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

[00:30:15] We're talking to Kelvin Krausby. Hard of hearing, learning to get usures too at 13. Became deaf blind at 19. Try to take his life 12 times and it is 19 but God Almighty intervened. He was hit by a car three times when he was 20 years old

[00:30:41] and the guys got basically a degree in communications in 2014 and a minor in ceramics will get to that as the broadcast unfolds. So God intervened, I wanna go back to this and it changed your life, right? Yep, yep. I mean, it was amazing that moment.

[00:31:00] I was in the Jordan River and we did meet three times and my brothers and my wife and my wife were with me. They all heard the same voice. She says, Kelvin, I am not gonna heal you from your deaf blindness. I'm gonna use this to save souls

[00:31:18] and to help other people find joy in the suffering of the severe, build a character that has hope and price. And literally I came off, fly it through back home from Israel after that and realize I now need to keep moving forward.

[00:31:34] And as you talked about, I was hit by a car three times shortly after that and that was an impact on my life that I'll never forget. Cause I wanted my independent and so many different ways but I also needed to learn how to navigate

[00:31:52] at the deaf blind person and two of them were the New York City, not two firepin, pin-taste and if you know where pin-taste is. And then one of us here in San Diego and that really transformed kind of, I mean, we went to the moment where psychologically

[00:32:09] I had to work through those encounters to be able to persevere and kind of keep moving forward and it really impacts me in a whole different way and in a way that I would go change the world with that.

[00:32:23] Now tell me when you get hit by a car with these cars going faster or they just, you know, you got bump in a parking lot and I mean, what give me kind of an idea? The classic right hand turn. The first two were classic right hand turns

[00:32:35] with taxi drivers, the two were the one that the most impactful one was the first one. The guy took a right hand turn and it was that night and just clipped me with a mirror took out my cane and that's the thing, you know, I'm on the ground

[00:32:52] and I wasn't a half a lot of hospitalized and then the second one, I just was clipped by the mirror by the taxi driver and then the third one I was crossing the stop sign and ended up on the guy's hood

[00:33:09] and they said, I mean, I'm about punitive window but I was able to walk away from that as well. I'm very fortunate because every year there are five to 10 blind individuals like get hit by a car and die and it's estimated that every year

[00:33:27] we have about 100 people that are hospitalized in our hospitals that are visually impaired because they would hit by cars and it's estimated given the current census of blind individuals in the world that 87 million will be hit by a car at least once. In their lifetimes, right? Yep, exactly.

[00:33:50] Folks, 87 million people, that number is shocking to say the least and understand that it's gonna get worse and I don't want that, don't get me wrong. It's gonna get worse because now cars are electronic or electric and they're silent and making the problem even a bigger problem, right?

[00:34:06] Exactly. What that data that I'm sharing with you is related to electric cars. Yeah, when I'm just telling you the more we have electric cars come out, the more people drive them, the bigger the problem becomes and we've only started on the cuffs with that.

[00:34:18] It exists but it hasn't been near what it's gonna be, right? Exactly exactly. And that's why it's so important that we bring awareness to this. You put, not even the blind communities now you're talking about that. They know the data but the blind, this is the tabby topic.

[00:34:37] It's the same thing with child suicide. It's a tabby topic. We're not gonna talk about this stuff. Yeah, we are, this is Liberty Roundtable Live, baby. And we talk about everything. Exactly. And so for me, when I went to the National Federation from the blind in 2023 last year

[00:34:56] and I went around and asked them the question, have you been hit by a car? Am I data after any talking to about 100 people? It was one every two people that have visited in Paris that get by a car.

[00:35:11] And I tell you this issue needs to be talked about and the orientation and the ability and structure needs to get out of their rear end and say, no, this is a problem that we need to solve and don't be on a high horse and say,

[00:35:26] oh, I'm okay. And I'm gonna explain this field and no, blind people are not getting hit by cars. It's not related to your training, it's related to the world and what the world is doing to cars, electric cars, regular cars. We need to bring awareness to the problem

[00:35:46] and get off our higher horses and say, oh, I'm a professional. So we don't talk about this in training blind individuals because I tell you those people drive me crazy because there are two worried about losing their jobs and if we start talking about the conversation.

[00:36:03] And they're worried about, this idea that oh, blind people are incompetent and that's the problem. No, no, no, no. Ignolaging the problem doesn't mean that blind people are retarded they can't think well or deaf people are this or that. What it means is we've got an issue,

[00:36:17] why do we have that issue and what can we do to resolve that issue? Exactly. That's the discussion. The discussion isn't, oh man, it makes blind people look bad and incompetent and all the poor blind people. They don't want to go down that road for that reason.

[00:36:30] But in my opinion, that's exactly wrong idea to take. We just gotta simply say, listen, it's not their incompetent. It's that neither people don't see them. Number one, and or it's that the cars too silent and they can't know, it's said, okay, let's talk about the real issues

[00:36:48] and that's kinda where we really need to focus. Now so you had vision when you were born. You couldn't hear very well but you got hearing aids and things kind of improved from there. You couldn't talk well because you couldn't hear well enough until you learned a sing

[00:37:02] and some singing and voice training and things like that have now made it where you can talk quite well, very well in fact. So surprisingly well, I would say it isn't perfect and I'm not negative about that. I'm just saying, you know, people can tell a little bit

[00:37:15] but they can understand everything you say and that's what matters most. But you became deaf blind at 19s. So tell me kinda how this progresses so people understand, because you have had vision and you have had enough hearing to understand both worlds as my whole point. Exactly.

[00:37:30] So after 19, I went to college and got my degree in communication and also in the green ceramics. And basically took that and with a job developer for the vision impaired, really good at that and then built an AT training program and kinda progressed.

[00:37:52] But in the middle of me graduating college and to my current day, I lost a vision in my left eye to basically it's like looking for a wax paper. And then when 2020 came, I was 32 years old at that point. I was in the middle of inventing a product.

[00:38:11] And I was a self-taught engineer so I would learn 3D printing and cadding and all those different things to build my invention. And when I was working on this, my rad-eye went and it was like looking through wax paper and I can no longer look into the computer

[00:38:32] and see anything on the screen, whether it's shapes or images or whatever. And I was like, how am I gonna finish this life-changing invention? I'm working on that's gonna help so many visually impaired people in the world. And also, how am I gonna grieve

[00:38:50] this loss in my vision loss? And I mean, I tell you 2020 was a disaster for me. I lost all the funding for my invention that I was working on. And I also lost all the clarity in my vision. So like today it's like looking through wax paper

[00:39:09] in my vision today. Right now, let's add another aspect to this. One of the issues of usher and some of these diseases that really are peer-written, and I this pigment toast is sub-categories or whatever you want to say. And what happens is your vision narrows

[00:39:22] more and more like eventually you're looking through a straw. So now for you, not only is it kind of like wax paper but it's best but it's through a straw, right? Yep, yep exactly exactly. And it impacting me in mostly in different ways.

[00:39:37] And I mean, it was a dark time for me. My wife and I we foster kids as well. And in 2020 on father day, because I just kind of give you a timeline. March of 2020, I lost my funding from my business.

[00:39:53] June of 2020, my foster son that we were raising around a wave home, ran away from home and decided to go back to this parents. And then in July of 2020, it's when I lost all the clarity in my vision. In just in that short period of time,

[00:40:11] I just faced so much suffering and so much pain and it was like, and then there were the moment and there I got to myself. I've been here before, I've been here before but this hurts a lot. This is not easy.

[00:40:26] I've put all my finances into this dimension. I put all this, my heart and soul into this foster kid and now I can see you. Go ahead and skip this break, Liz. Go ahead, sir. Go ahead, tell it. And as I kind of progressed through this,

[00:40:46] I had to decide, will I rejoice in all of this loss, all of this pain? Will I rejoice? And I decided, I would take this pain of losing my financial freedom, my vision and being a foster parent and I would then determine what I'm gonna do

[00:41:13] and allow God to use it in a way to help me persevere. I mean, there's something so powerful when you say, I will rejoice in my suffering and persevere and build a character that has hope is so strong once you have it. It's almost impossible to rock

[00:41:33] and that's what I leaned on in December 1st of 2020 is when everything changed. Now let it happen. But I want to be very clear, he's a hardcore Christian as you can tell as MI. You know, you can do all things in Christ. That's really the key.

[00:41:56] And one of the biblical scriptures that talk about this is count it all joy. Even the troubles that you go through whatever you can count it all joy, if you set your mind to it. And that's why I started out the broadcast by saying,

[00:42:09] you know what attitude equals altitude because you know what? It's all in how you view things. Do you view things with Christ in charge of the world? Do you view things like you've been left behind or you've been thrown to the wolves

[00:42:23] or whatever terms you wanna use for this? This is really the key to the exercise, whether you're blind, whether you're deaf, whether you're both, or the lose you're funding for your business. There are a lot of people have been through

[00:42:33] a lot of things, nobody gets out of this life alive, by the way. So it's rough for everybody. We get it, but it's how you view it, how you interpret it. And I'm reminded of John, I think it's chapter nine versus one forward.

[00:42:47] You know they got this blind guy and he's hanging out in their guide in the maroon and the disciples see this blind person. And then I came in who's sin, him or his dad, him and him, his parents that made him blind.

[00:42:58] And the savior Jesus Christ said neither. He was born blind so the worst of God maybe made manifest through him. And I as a blind person have always taken that to heart and said, okay, I've got a role to play here.

[00:43:10] I've got things to do, let's get her done. And so that's kind of the attitude and I bring that up because that attitude is what's really been the key. Now you mentioned family, your brothers and parents are your parents, blinder, deaf for your brothers and, go ahead.

[00:43:24] No, I'm the one like you. My parents, they had the gene, my brother in the carrier. But I got the special gift. And I tell people, I tell people when I talk people and remember about my name, I always say, my name is Calvin,

[00:43:42] you know what the degree Calvin means? There's no negative in the degree Calvin. So there's no negative here. So let's get all this negative thing out and let's move forward. All right, now that's important to understand I don't want to go down or have it

[00:43:55] whole about this disease because that's not the point. But just so people understand, it's a recessive trait or recessive gene that you get. So some people can be carriers meaning they can pass it along to their children, but they may not have the disease

[00:44:08] and only like one in four, every time you have a baby, one in four would end up with this because if each parent passes along two genes and then so that's kind of how that works and for Calvin to receive it.

[00:44:22] Again, his parents had to both have it and then it's a one in four chance that he got the lucky straw. Okay, well anyway, there reason I know so much about this because even though him and I have different reasons for our hereditary blindness, different genes, different characteristics

[00:44:37] to the exact disease that we have. The principles of the same in terms of how genetics works and so I started a lot about it and know a little bit about how this works but I'd aggressive except I want people to understand that.

[00:44:50] You know if you don't get all this for you to have enough sight in your life to understand sight and of hearing and your life to understand hearing enough training in your life to put both of those together.

[00:45:01] How much can you see and how much can you hear now? Obviously I can hear enough to do the radio show, right? Yeah, well yeah, I'm wearing hearing aids and they're at my prescribed levels. So I have 70 and 60, I figure what year but I have 70 and 60 loss

[00:45:19] in my ears and then my hearing aids adapt for that and then I'm using headphones to be able to empower your voice so I can hear you. So headphones are over your hearing aids. Exactly. And I wear my hair from headphones differently than what you would.

[00:45:36] So that way it doesn't ring my hearing aids and they're kind of in front of my head, not honestly on the side of my ears. But I can use the microphone from my hearing aids to be able to hear about my vision today.

[00:45:50] Okay, so let me explain that. So people understand because what you just said in normal terms is a contradiction. What do you mean you use your microphone for your hearing? What he's saying to you ladies and gentlemen is there's a microphone on his hearing aids that amplifies.

[00:46:01] It takes a signal and amplifies it. His headphones are feeding that amplifier on his hearing aids. So he really is using a microphone. It's just on the headphones given the audio to the microphone on the hearing aids that's actually amplifying the sound so he can hear.

[00:46:15] So it's very strange and you gotta kind of talk through it and go, oh I get it right? Yep, yep. And as you said about my vision, I haven't been to the doctor in a little while but basically when I do a field vision test

[00:46:34] or anything like that, I can barely make out any of those lights when you do a field vision test and I can't even read the chart anymore. My vision is so blurry. And it's like the worst foggy day that you can experience.

[00:46:47] I mean, I think I home from Colorado and that smoke was thick. And I would drive in from really to the airport and it was thick going by Lublin and all that area. And I'm praying for all you guys out there

[00:47:03] and I know some of you that live in those areas and I pray for you guys and these are tough times for you guys. So there's a lot of fires that's brutal in the fires in California or way up in the north, he's in the south

[00:47:14] so he's far from the fires there but what he went to Colorado. So I want to also explain this so people kind of understand, when he says he drove the airport he didn't drive himself, somebody drove him but blind people and deaf people

[00:47:27] live inside it and hearing worlds and they've learned to adapt their language to where they watch movies. I know literally they didn't watch it because they didn't see it. I understand that but these words are used to live in normal society

[00:47:38] if you go, I heard that movie people are like, what? So you learn to use words and constructs that make sense so I just want people to understand those things because sometimes people are thrown by that and the reason I'm doing this in an interview

[00:47:52] a lot of my listeners may already know a lot of these things but because I want people in an interview to kind of holistically understand this. So now if you're about to kiss your wife and the only reason I use that example

[00:48:03] is because you're really close to her face how much can you see of her? I can't see her anymore, I lots, that ability in 2020 was the last time I saw my wife. Okay, so even when you're really close to her, though you can't see her at all.

[00:48:17] No, not really. Yeah, okay. I can see her shape but was not even close. Close, close is not really the right term. As you farther on my way the bigger that tunnel gets. So that tunnel blurry. So it's kind of like when you look in

[00:48:40] for a telescope, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a telescope. Yeah, I think it's right bigger. Well, far the way you go and wider but you have to look for a tiny hole. So the closer you add, the less you're gonna see and but just put a film over that.

[00:48:58] So I can't really make out my wife. Yeah, so it doesn't matter. The perspective is that when you're really close it doesn't help them when you're further away other aspects make it harder too. It's not identical, it changes. And as it does other aspects of this

[00:49:13] illness or whatever you want to call it of this disease or these traits make it harder and harder to see. I want people to kind of understand that because it's hard to understand how the heck you're on the radio and you're deaf and blind.

[00:49:24] He's not 100% blind, he's not 100% deaf. He's more blind than deaf I would say though. But in either case, both of them become well if you let it devastating, right? Yeah, I mean, it's not easy. You have to grieve. Every time you lose something.

[00:49:44] I mean, I think about the times where I talked to people and they're like, man, I can't imagine when you go to it because I'm a good griver. I have learned how to grieve well. And when you learn how to grieve well,

[00:50:03] you're able to build a strength in you for Christ because actually on the way I know how to do it. And that will just empower you in a way beyond what you can ever imagine. But becoming a good griver every stage of my vision loss.

[00:50:21] My hearing been pretty stable, so I've been very fortunate there. And if I end up losing vision, I'm gonna have to grieve that and I'm not gonna be easy. But I can go find you. You mean if you lose more hearing, you mean? Yep, it was exactly.

[00:50:36] All right, the reason I bring this up folks is the reason you mentioned this grieving thing is look, it's trust in Christ. Though, you've got to trust him. And so what he's basically saying is hey, if God intervenes and said, hey,

[00:50:47] you've got to life to live and I've got work for you to do. Now you've got to trust him that good grieving thing is really a trust him discussion, isn't it? Exactly. I mean, not trust is beyond imaginable. And until you go through pain

[00:51:02] and you decided to have joy in that, if you go with sorrow and you stay there, you're gonna always stay stuck. And you will never persevere. But when you turn the corner and say, I want joy in us. Like for example,

[00:51:21] like I'm dealing with some stuff personally right now that regards to my current invention, I'm like, I'm not sure I'm gonna do that. But I took a moment, I prayed, and I asked the question, how can I have joy in this? How can I change somebody's life today?

[00:51:39] Okay, when you take it off of you, if you take your pain and say, how can I take this pain to help somebody else? It changes everything. It changes everything. Because you are now taking that pain and saying, I'm gonna empower somebody today

[00:51:56] with this pain that I'm doing. And it opens your eyes in a whole new way. And I tell you, I love when my eyes get open and I can see. And when those moments, like I had a moment yesterday, I was like my eyes were open

[00:52:14] and I could see the power of my pain and how it would gonna help so many people tomorrow. Like tomorrow and the next day, just tone them my story. And I was like, it's really a, a microcosm of the Savior's atonement. He looked outside himself and said,

[00:52:31] hey, I'm gonna do this for all. And then, hey, we take a microcosm of that and say, okay, listen, I know things are kind of rough for me and everything, but I'm gonna look outside myself and I'm gonna find out what I can do for others.

[00:52:44] And pretty soon you start to count on all joy. Pretty soon you go, you know what? There is hope in Christ. There is hope in what I'm doing. It is possible. I don't know how yet, but the Lord, if he has a plan, he's got away.

[00:52:55] And now this trust kind of comes in and you put all that together and you go, wow, we can live incredibly rich, full, valuable, contributing to society lives, that matter, that make a difference. And you gotta just at the end of the day,

[00:53:11] kind of he's take a, have I made a difference today? And whether that's an ailment like blindness or deafness or something that you can obviously see or other, you know, maybe mental things are, but everybody's got their crosses to bear.

[00:53:23] And everybody needs to learn to kind of go through that in their own way, but it's strikingly similar of what needs to be done to be successful. You gotta look outside yourself. You gotta trust a higher source of authority or power

[00:53:34] even, I mean, alcoholics and I don't know it's even highlights this. You've got to have a greater source of power than yourself in an eight-germit people. Tell you that right now. But then you gotta have a lot of trust. And then you gotta go forward with hope

[00:53:46] and faith and trust and say, you know what? I don't know how it's all gonna pan out or how it's gonna work out. I'm just gonna do my part and leave the rest where it belongs. Yeah, I mean, it's super powerful. When you can really take that,

[00:54:02] and really, we lied to different. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Kelvin, crossbeat with me. You wanna learn more? Kelvin, crossbeat.com, check it out. We've talked a lot about his history. What's happened to him in his life how he's responded and dealt with it?

[00:54:18] We talked about kind of the fundamentals of who he is and what he does and what? Now, next hour, we're gonna talk about what he's accomplished in his life. Because that's something and that should give all of us courage and hope.

[00:54:30] Even to the point where we can save our country, what do you think of that, ladies and gentlemen? Kelvin, crossbeat.com, check that out. My website, LibertyRoundTim.com, lovingloomity.net, spread the word, share the love and God save the Republic of the United States of America.
