Mike Harvey and Tom Touchstone discuss President Trump's right to classify documents and the left's reaction to the overturning of Roe v. Wade on the March for Life. They introduce their new friend Oliver, a rescue dog, and then move on to talk about Tony Dungey and the liberals' backlash against him. Tom then brings up Kevin McCarthy's bill that requires life saving measures to be performed on babies that survive abortion procedures. The conversation then turns back to Oliver and his rescue story. This conversation discusses the idea of a heartbeat being the sign of life and the argument of those who don't believe in it. Mike & Tom then talk about how some people have experienced the joy of having a baby at 20 weeks. They then move onto the topic of how liberals are doing everything they can to kill babies, and how there are still people who can't have babies but can adopt them. Lastly, they mention the March for Life, which has been going on for 50 years since Roe v. Wade which started with the hope that it would eventually be overturned. Mike and Tom discussed the idea of a hockey player wearing a rainbow shirt or having a rainbow hockey stick. Tom suggested that it was okay to have this pride day, but it should not be forced on everyone. Mike agreed, saying it was a form of brainwashing. He then said that although he and his show stand for faith, freedom, and family, it is still a choice to watch the show. The conversation ended with Mike acknowledging that there are many people who do watch and hear him rant about certain things. The conversation between Mike and Tom focused on people's right to express their own opinion and the idea of cancel culture. It was mentioned that people should not be forced to agree with a supposed narrative, and even Elon Musk tweeted about this. Charlie Kirk mentioned that if individuals want to start a show and voice their opinion, they should work hard to do so. The discussion then shifted to the pride flag and how it was originally part of Christian culture, but now it is being used to force people to accept another belief system. Mike then added that as a Christian, one should love the sinner but hate the sin. Mike then talked about how he cares about the country and society his kids are growing up in, and that he does not want them to be brainwashed by political ideologies. Lastly, the conversation focused on the Biden files and how President Trump has the right to classify documents, while Joe Biden did not have that authority when he did the same thing. It was also mentioned that the left is trying to whitewash the situation. The conversation concluded with a discussion about cancel culture and how it is disguising its motives, still using a form of slavery through welfare and incarceration.

And he was brought into the rescue and he was helped by a friend of ours, Darren Tripp. And I was looking for a dog. And my son in law wants to embrace the Tennessee culture when I move out there because I'll be moving out there in a year and a half.
And he was dropped off on Olive Drive in Bakersfield quite a few months ago in Bakersfield, and they got called out, the police did, and they actually called a rescue that we're going to talk about in a few minutes.
There's a lot of things and again, I said during this video that one good piece of news is you can make a difference and go back and watch that segment.
Basically, CNN had a doctor on their show, and their CNN doctor is skeptical, and he says that the deaths are being overcounted, and that kind of put a pause in the interview.
And how they won was they ran for political office. They came and they were represented. And the people that won the election for the board basically decided what the kids were going to learn, unlike what.

0:00:00 Mike Harvey: But what President Trump did as president, he has every right to classify documents as sensitive or classified or whatever. Biden did this as a vice president, frankly, had no authority to do so. And they're just whitewashing it like it's no big deal. As conservatives celebrate the over turning of Roe v. Wade on the March for life. The left is in arms or excited about all of this. That and a whole bunch of other things.
0:00:35 Mike Harvey: Welcome to Relevant Ranch. I'm Mike Harvey here with Tom Touchstone and my new friend Oliver.
0:00:39 Tom Touchstone: Oliver is with us today. We're going to talk about Oliver in a segment because he is a rescue dog for all you dog lovers. Yeah, we're going to talk about him.
0:00:49 Mike Harvey: He's excited now.
0:00:50 Tom Touchstone: Yeah, he's like, hey, we're rolling now.
0:00:52 Mike Harvey: We are. So they're excited about Tony Dungey. And I think there's some backlash from the liberals, the ones who are, in my opinion, antiAmerican, anti everything we stand for. They're like, hey, you guys were preying on the NFL Network, now you got Tony Dungy who has opinions that we don't agree with, so we're going to give you heck over that.
0:01:21 Tom Touchstone: I know if I can jump in on that real quick, Mike, because I think this week we had a vote, or, no, we didn't, but Kevin McCarthy, they put out a bill that talked about abortion. If a baby survives in abortion procedures that once sees out that they are going to perform life saving measures. And I thought, what difference is that between what we did with Hamlin on the football field? A heartbeat is a heartbeat, right?
0:01:52 Tom Touchstone: It's like they're saying, hey, we're going to do CPR, we're going to do the necessary measures to keep someone alive. Now, if you don't believe in that, that's up to you. But I think it's also the right if somebody had an abortion and it didn't work and the baby is now out and is viable with life. I mean, there again, I've had friends, lacrosse, Kamos, who had a baby at 20 weeks and survived. So I'm like, save the baby.
0:02:20 Mike Harvey: Well, you have the left and the liberals doing everything they can to kill babies. And we personally know people who have had babies that have died and very young babies.
0:02:31 Tom Touchstone: Well, I think in any society you have people that can't have babies and now you have people that will adopt babies.
0:02:40 Mike Harvey: He's got to get his attention.
0:02:41 Tom Touchstone: He does. There again, I mean, I'm not going to compare animals adoption, but in Bakersfield, everybody flipped out about a no kill zone for dogs and cats that come into adoptions. It's a big day for everything.
0:02:59 Mike Harvey: Yeah, but you know what? I'm proud that we have the march for life. Tony Dungy speaking. Kevin was involved. Kevin McCarthy.
0:03:09 Tom Touchstone: He welcomed people to DC.
0:03:12 Mike Harvey: Yeah, they've been doing this ever since 50 years. Ever since Roe v. Wade began, they've been doing this. And now, 50 years later, they're like, hey, this is the first time we're doing it and it's been abolished, or whatever the proper term is for it. Right. Maybe that's not the right term. Overturned. Overturned. Thank you. But the thing is, we're allowed to have our opinions as long as they line up with what the opinions they tell us we're allowed to have.
0:03:42 Mike Harvey: Right.
0:03:43 Tom Touchstone: Well, Mike, I don't know, because I think if we jump there now, we got a hockey story where there's a hockey player, it's only a game, why.
0:03:52 Mike Harvey: Do you have to be mad?
0:03:55 Tom Touchstone: And I'm okay with having a pride Day where you got to wear a shirt and a hockey stick if you.
0:04:01 Mike Harvey: Want to, but I'm going to bite my tongue because I don't know if I agree with that.
0:04:07 Tom Touchstone: No, I'm saying if you want to. I mean, if a hockey player comes out with a rainbow on his shirt or on his hockey stick, I don't think they should disallow him. But I don't think you have a day where everyone's required to do that.
0:04:21 Mike Harvey: Right. And I think they made a good point on this story. They were saying, well, if you're just forcing everyone to do it, then what's the point? Because you're just pandering like, I don't believe in this, but I'm going to do it. Mike, it's a form of brainwashing, frankly.
0:04:37 Tom Touchstone: How many times are you out there? If you've seen our shows, you know that we're standing on faith, freedom and family, and you may not have those same beliefs, but you're probably not watching us. But isn't that a choice?
0:04:50 Mike Harvey: Yeah, absolutely.
0:04:51 Tom Touchstone: That's just a choice. But we have plenty of people that do want to watch and hear Mike rant about certain things. And sometimes cuss I started putting your.
0:05:02 Mike Harvey: Name in the places that you did.
0:05:05 Tom Touchstone: But there again but I just feel bad when you have the analysts throwing their opinions out there, but basically, more.
0:05:12 Mike Harvey: Or less, I'm not going to say it word for word, but I'm a paraphrase. They said, hey, you have your own opinion. You don't agree with what the supposed narrative is supposed to be. They go back to Ukraine and go die in a trench and even Elon Musk tweeted about that. Right. Did you pull that up and post.
0:05:28 Tom Touchstone: He said that it went too far, the pendulum.
0:05:31 Mike Harvey: Oh, way too far.
0:05:33 Tom Touchstone: Too far. That's it. I mean, if you got an opinion, start your own show and voice it, right.
0:05:39 Mike Harvey: Just like Charlie said, right?
0:05:40 Tom Touchstone: Charlie Kirk told us, hey, one time, he said, hey, if you want to start a show and work really hard, which mike, this sitting in front of the camera looks easy. Oliver is getting bored here, but takes.
0:05:50 Mike Harvey: A whole team to do what we.
0:05:51 Tom Touchstone: Do and we're all time he does. I want to thank Alex. Our producer is standing back there. Nathaniel, Joanne, all of them, gabe, they just do a great job, but it allows us to do what we do. Yes, I like that. So there again, if you want to wear pride flag every day is a year, wear it. Just don't force me to do it. But I do think, Mike, the rainbow was in our faith culture.
0:06:22 Mike Harvey: It was ours first.
0:06:23 Tom Touchstone: Yes.
0:06:23 Mike Harvey: And they tried to commentary I love Pastor Ron's book.
0:06:26 Tom Touchstone: Tribal influence. We're all going to belong to a tribe. So if my tribe has to accept somebody else's belief system to exist, then that's not right, because we're not forcing our belief system on them. Right?
0:06:40 Mike Harvey: And we've talked about this before, and I've done specific content talking about like, well, you're a Christian, you're supposed to love everyone. And I do. However, the Bible says, love the sinner, hate the sin. Right? And it says you're supposed to love everyone and you're a Christian. That's your first thing. Why are you so political? And my thing is I care about the country and the society that my kids are growing up in, and I don't want them brainwashed or moved in a certain direction because of political ideologies that frankly, are evil.
0:07:11 Tom Touchstone: I agree with you, Mike. I do. Isn't it interesting?
0:07:15 Mike Harvey: Oh, the biden files. Right. Like, we had Mara Lago and Trump and it was a big deal, and it was stormed by the stormtroopers or the FBI in that case, and it was a big deal. But hey, Biden does the same thing. And what's crazy about this time and I don't know how much you've thought about this or watched it, but what President Trump did as president, he has every right to classify documents as sensitive or classified or whatever.
0:07:41 Mike Harvey: Biden did this as a vice president, frankly had no authority to do so. And they're just whitewashing it like it's no big deal.
0:07:48 Tom Touchstone: And this was a quote from Joe Biden, how that could possibly happen, how one anyone could be that irresponsible? Biden answers. And I thought, what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods? By that I mean names of people who helped? And it just is totally irresponsible. That was November. November. But that was something joe Biden that was a direct quote from Joe Biden. Yes. Joe, how could you forget that in the garage you have classified material stored where you park your car?
0:08:24 Mike Harvey: Well, because your car and our producer Alex says this often, which is funny. I think he got this quote from somebody else, but he says, Rules for thee, not for me.
0:08:34 Tom Touchstone: Right?
0:08:34 Mike Harvey: And that is like the whole leftist thing is like, no, you're on the wrong side, so we're going to punish you. But this guy gets a slide for doing worse things. Not even the same things, worse things, because we don't even necessarily agree with him. But he see, now he doesn't even know what he thinks at this point, but he's on the right side, so we'll just give him a pass.
0:08:54 Tom Touchstone: Mike, I just despise cancel culture. And I think that sometimes if you're going to cancel one, you got to go all way back because they're trying to go all the way back. I get it, I get it.
0:09:05 Mike Harvey: Monuments and statistics.
0:09:06 Tom Touchstone: Let's go back history.
0:09:09 Mike Harvey: Frankly, and who.
0:09:10 Tom Touchstone: Was responsible for succession of the Southern states? The Democrats. Who were behind slavery? The Democrats.
0:09:18 Mike Harvey: It was the Republicans. That and frankly, Abraham Lincoln was a.
0:09:22 Tom Touchstone: Republican that ran against that Democratic. Who was for the clucas Clinton? The Democrats.
0:09:27 Mike Harvey: Well, the thing is disguising their motives. They're doing it differently. They're still using a form of slavery through welfare and incarceration. And I do think that there's problems with the legal system and with the prison system. And I know, we both know people, and I think you are related to people that are in law enforcement and other things. We have closer relationships and ties with that, and I think the individuals are fine, but I think that there are ulterior motives, and we're still using that as a form of slavery for people that supposedly were released years ago.
0:10:03 Mike Harvey: And it's the left and the Democrats that are pushing that.
0:10:05 Tom Touchstone: It's amazing to me that we can even talk about Santos, who obviously lied.
0:10:10 Mike Harvey: He did.
0:10:11 Tom Touchstone: He fabricated things. But if you go back on Biden, I mean, I don't know if he knows how to do anything else, and I'm hoping maybe he's just forgetful now. But if you take him all the way back to when he was he.
0:10:24 Mike Harvey: Hasn'T had a real job in his entire life.
0:10:26 Tom Touchstone: He talks about things that don't even make sense.
0:10:32 Mike Harvey: Come on, man.
0:10:33 Tom Touchstone: Yeah. How can people protect that and then come after Santos, which did lie, and he should be held responsible for that. But if you're not holding the president responsible for it, we're playing by a new set of rules, then, hey, I guess we have to follow that.
0:10:49 Mike Harvey: Yes. Oliver is excited again.
0:10:51 Tom Touchstone: Yeah, we got his attention.
0:10:52 Mike Harvey: He said, he says, I agree with you guys.
0:10:55 Tom Touchstone: So there again, I mean, it's just it's one of those things, and then I love just as people stage things nowadays, I think we had a little bit of a climate.
0:11:07 Mike Harvey: Oh.
0:11:07 Tom Touchstone: Greta Activist.
0:11:08 Mike Harvey: Greta Thunberg.
0:11:09 Tom Touchstone: Yeah, I guess she staged allegedly yeah.
0:11:13 Mike Harvey: Allegedly staged, like being arrested and all that stuff. And just like AOC right. With her fake arrest. She had her hands behind her back. There were no handcuffs on her hands.
0:11:24 Tom Touchstone: Say, hey, we got this one where the parents revolted against CRT. And how they won was they ran for political office.
0:11:34 Mike Harvey: Well, they did something.
0:11:35 Tom Touchstone: They came and they were represented. And the people that won the election for the board basically decided what the kids were going to learn, unlike what.
0:11:46 Mike Harvey: So many people want to do, is just sit around and complain. They took action on what they believed and they made a difference. So I think that's a good point to bring up for our audience is it's easy to sit around and complain. It takes a lot of work to do what Tom and I do or what these parents have done and take a stand and actually take action. But if you do, you can make a difference. And people are making a difference.
0:12:08 Mike Harvey: And this story right here is proof that they did and they can. So I want to encourage all of you that are watching, if you believe in something, get involved in something, or start a movement if there's not one that already exists, because you can make a difference. Also, side note, which shouldn't be a side note, but it's an important note, prayer also makes a big impact.
0:12:26 Tom Touchstone: Man does prayer work? Wow. I mean, we're going to talk about a show with Oliver, how my wife and I were praying before we adopted Oliver. You get it?
0:12:34 Mike Harvey: I had a conversation with my wife this morning about praying about some stuff.
0:12:37 Tom Touchstone: Yeah, prayer works. I mean, it just does.
0:12:39 Mike Harvey: It does. So, you know, we got we got the story about COVID going back to that, and I thought this was kind of unique. Mike well, I don't know if it's unique, but part of it is. Right. But largely is not because it's stuff that our site has been saying the entire Tommed time.
0:12:59 Tom Touchstone: Well, it's funny because Fox has this and I watch CNN, and that's kind of what led me to this new article. I found it from the back door.
0:13:08 Mike Harvey: You always got to know what the enemy's thinking, right?
0:13:10 Tom Touchstone: Yeah. Basically, CNN had a doctor on their show, and their CNN doctor is skeptical, and he says that the deaths are being overcounted, and that kind of put a pause in the interview.
0:13:25 Mike Harvey: But Tom, we've been saying that since the very beginning.
0:13:29 Tom Touchstone: I know. So he's basically saying people need accurate reporting. It was their doctor on their show. Now, Fox publicized it because they didn't want that to be the highlight of the show. But then we even have a reality check this week from NPR, where it's NPR, it's a reporting center. And they're talking about the new COVID tests. And they're saying that during this last outbreak, that the tests aren't picking up the new variant, they're getting negative. Or surprise, surprise, I had it showed negative and then it showed positive for me for seven days, and then my wife had it showed negative, then positive, and then she went off three days.
0:14:16 Tom Touchstone: But Pastor Ron had it didn't have COVID because he tested negative, but he lost his taste and smell.
0:14:22 Mike Harvey: Yeah.
0:14:23 Tom Touchstone: And I'm thinking, well, there's only one thing that has been identified to do that.
0:14:27 Mike Harvey: For those of you watching, he referenced Pastor Ron. Pastor Ron Vietti, our pastor for 20 something years. Yeah, great, man.
0:14:34 Tom Touchstone: So and and he was just trying to figure out what he had, but he kept saying, Tom, I'm testing negative could it be wrong? And I go, I don't know. But now I could say yes, because the NPR came out and said they're not catching the new variant, all of them. So some probably are. I'm not saying they all are, because I haven't used them all.
0:14:50 Mike Harvey: Yeah, yeah. But but the thing is, they've been they've been over inflated intentionally, whether you agree with that or not. That's my belief, and I think at some point it will. So I'll say allegedly for Alex's behalf, but at some point it's going to come out that it was intentional. And the numbers were over inflated for two reasons. One, to push an agenda, and two, because it was financially beneficial for the hospitals to over inflate him.
0:15:20 Mike Harvey: But why was it financially beneficial? Because they were trying to push an agenda.
0:15:24 Tom Touchstone: Mike, we got a show that we're going to air and it's Doug Brighnoli. Yeah, that's a sad deal. On his medical examiner death. We had him on our show, Muscle Matters, and two days later he died. And the cause from the corner in La said COVID infection. But then at the bottom it said he had a heart issue, too, but it was recorded as a COVID infection. Now, I know at the funeral they kind of said it was more heart attack, but I think they're trying to say it was COVID, too.
0:15:59 Tom Touchstone: Who do you believe?
0:16:00 Mike Harvey: Real great, Tom. I know we always like to do and leave people on a good note. There's a lot of things and again, I said during this video that one good piece of news is you can make a difference and go back and watch that segment. But also we like to leave people at the end of our show on Good News. And Tom, do you want to share what we're going to do here?
0:16:21 Tom Touchstone: Well, I just brought Oliver today, and as you can see, Oliver is a ConGen. They call him Italian mastiffs. And he was dropped off on Olive Drive in Bakersfield quite a few months ago in Bakersfield, and they got called out, the police did, and they actually called a rescue that we're going to talk about in a few minutes. And he was brought into the rescue and he was helped by a friend of ours, Darren Tripp.
0:16:54 Tom Touchstone: And I was looking for a dog. And my son in law wants to embrace the Tennessee culture when I move out there because I'll be moving out there in a year and a half. I've said that a lot.
0:17:07 Mike Harvey: He and I are aligned on that. Yes, the culture, the farmway.
0:17:11 Tom Touchstone: Yeah. And so my son in law wants to get cattle, and he's been out there for eight, nine months with my daughter Tessa, and my wife and I were going out there, and so I told him, if we're going to get cattle, we need a dog. So I started looking up some dogs. And I've always worked with and if you want to watch the special we're going to do, I'll go into more depth about that. But I had an idea that I was not looking for the right dog, and through prayer.
0:17:36 Mike Harvey: Yeah, because you were looking at, like.
0:17:37 Tom Touchstone: Some military I was going back well, the military I've already adopted a military dog, Bagger, and he was on ABC Nightline. I think I've told you that before. And I adopted him from the military when well, President Clinton signed into law that the military had to make an attempt to adopt their dogs out. And if you ever want to go out to ABC Nightline, you can see a show with Bagger, my old dog. They came out, and it was pretty cool show.
0:18:02 Mike Harvey: Can we put up a link to that?
0:18:04 Tom Touchstone: But they left all the dogs in Vietnam, and they didn't have a good time after the American government left. So we got one of the you know, I was pretty high up on the list of a civilian adopted a military.
0:18:21 Mike Harvey: A lot of money in those dogs, Tom.
0:18:23 Tom Touchstone: Well, the what we're told is they're about 90 grand once they go into the field. Hey, if you're out there and you want to make a difference, you can actually go out there and rehome a dog. Lucky's rescue we talk about and I'm just going to bait you to watch our segment on the rescue for Oliver here. And did I mention that his name's Oliver? Because they had them all on drive. I think I did. Yeah. That was clever.
0:18:51 Tom Touchstone: So I'll talk about Jennifer and Amanda's rescue in just a minute.
0:18:56 Mike Harvey: Cool. Well, thanks for watching, guys. Have a great day. God bless.
0:18:59 Tom Touchstone: God bless.
