¶ Truth, Lies, and Going Rogue
And God is the author of truth and the enemy to me is the author of partial truth. He'll sell a partial truth, oh yes. You know even just a little.
Yes, they take that tiny little kernel of truth, because the best propaganda is not made up completely. If you have to make it up completely, it's easy. You know, my mom used to say a lie has no legs. Well, a lie that's like a propaganda lie that has no legs of its own. You have to keep making legs for it because they keep collapsing on themselves because they're not true. Welcome to my new show, everybody Going Rogue with Lara Logan.
We're going to be releasing an episode every morning on Thursdays, so you can look out for that. This is going to be a kind of different Laura Logan for you. You get to see me as I am behind the camera, just myself, and I want to introduce my sidekick, luke Coffey, the king of bad suggestions. Well we'll see.
We'll see Okay.
Yes, who is also a veteran, a recent veteran of cancel culture, having narrowly escaped long-term incarceration at the hands of the Justice Department and a crooked judge.
That's right. We're ironically here in DC.
Two months to the date I was convicted for a January 6th, you know charge and that terrible crime of yours, lukeke, holding up a crutch over a crowd of people, when you heard the screams of people who were being crushed and praying I was telling people to stop and pray.
But you know, in this justice system, in the biden regime, it's uh, it's flipped it, flipped it, flip-flopped. That got you accused of assault.
It did so with a deadly weapon, a crutch which was a crutch that you found on the ground.
I did yes.
And, if I remember correctly, you said in the name of Lord Jesus, please stop this. I did say that. Which, according to certain people in this country, is a crime.
It is, and we're here to right that wrong.
Yeah, it's not a crime on this show. No, it isn't it isn't at all all. So what are we going to be doing? Well, we're going to have a big get. Occasionally, you'll find the right person at just the right moment. We'll be talking to some of the people you don't always hear from right. I'm always looking. I want to learn something every time I sit down with someone, so I want to share that with you. And also, somebody in the comments said we're tired of seeing the same old people.
So that's our job. Here's to not seeing the same old people. Luke cheers, yes and um. I want to make one special mention actually, because we wouldn't be sitting here, we wouldn't be getting off the ground without our very first sponsor, who is on a mission, a company of patriots who are definitely on a mission to save the world and save humanity from itself by boosting vitality, which basically means having babies.
Yeah, boosting that T, that testosterone.
Yeah, so thank you to Chuck. Thank you, chuck, and in fact, the founder of Chuck might have been responsible for the name of this podcast. So when you hear something, on this show.
It's a solid name. It really is. It's a solid name Because, Laura Logan, why are we going rogue? What does that mean exactly? Let's step it back to your career. She's an award-winning journalist, world-renowned. You've interviewed kings and queens to the scum of the earth.
I've interviewed a lot of people. That's quite the range, though. That's interesting.
And you have. What I'm excited about is that you are taking the reins. This is your show. You have no agenda.
Lots of freedom, no money.
Right, and we'll get to that later folks, but freedom's hell, freedom's more important. That's right, that is so. Tell us how you got here. Just an overview of how you got here. Okay, I'll give you the cliff notes because I don't want to bore anybody well we'll get into it deeper.
I I hit the jackpot, the lottery in terms of how I was born, because I was born to a wonderful mother and an amazing father and they were not perfect. I think that's something important for people to understand is, as you get older because I I'm 53 now you get that perspective on life right and you start to you realize that happiness isn't perfection and having great people in your life doesn't mean they're perfect all the time.
But I was born into a home of love and my parents were a real example of teaching you to think for yourself. So I grew up in South Africa. I got my first job in journalism at 17. I worked at a newspaper, so I started in print and I went from there. I got the jobs that nobody else wanted to do. I raised my hand when no one else was raising their hand.
So if that was sitting in the newsroom on a Saturday night waiting for the first edition to come off the printing presses, that's how old I am and why did I do that. Well, the other journalists they had lives. You know this was a regular job to them. They'd already made it in a sense.
I was figuring it out, so I was happy to stay and my job was to take that early first edition and take copies of that paper to the morgue and the fire station and the police department and the hospital and give them copies, because no internet man, right, this is what 87, 88?.
And that's how I began to form relationships, made friends with the guy at the morgue so he would let me know how many dead bodies they had from the overnight violence, the political violence, and the government didn't want anyone to know, so they were hiding those bodies, they would go off. I had other friends, journalists later that I met, who had police scanners and would listen to where the police were going because they knew they were picking up the bodies.
But what did I do at 17 years, you know, I found, uh, I were on my way there into the mall where he was eventually let me come and see the bodies. And why did I need to do that? Not because I like to look at dead people, but because I wanted to know how they died. Were they shot, were they stabbed? You know that kind of thing. Were they shot by police, um, or were they burned? Because in south africa at that time, you know, they were, well, even today doing everything. So.
That was morbid but you know, still inquiring mind like you you have. It's where it began.
It's. It probably began from birth. It probably did, but I worked my way up, you know, eventually went to the American networks, was the only person in Afghanistan, the only you know front-line journalist Myself and Steve Harrigan from Fox News he was the other guy, but I was the only woman and I just put myself in places, luke, where people had to hire me. That's what I did.
I forced them to hire me and the only job interview I ever went to was at British Morning Television and they asked me to name some of the correspondents on the show. I couldn't name one because I'd never watched the news. I only ever reported the news. I just didn't watch it. And I got that job. Can you believe it? Yeah, and so anyway, I you know. 16 years at CBS and 60 Minutes one of the greatest periods of my life before.
Unfortunately, my personal awakening came with a. It was an early warning sign of what was to come and where we are now, where people have lost faith in the news, in the media and they've become aware of how biased it has become, because it wasn't that bad when I was there, but we were always heading in this direction, actually and a time when journalists just mix opinion with fact and no one can really tell the difference anymore. But you know what people can tell.
What's that?
They know when someone's telling the truth. Yeah, they do. You may not have all the information, you may not like what someone's saying, but you kind of know. You just have that feeling in the pit of your stomach I'm being lied to or I'm not.
That's why I like you luke well, that's what connected us, was kind of you investigating my story and, yeah, you know what's. What's so engaging about laura logan is that she is completely real, she is authentic, so that all of a sudden the subject she's covering wall comes down and it's a true picture of that person.
And so that's what why I'm excited about this podcast, because you are a journalist but you're also a the way you interact with people, you care, and we spent four hours talking about my story on camera and you know when it got into the details of my backstory and and we got to know each other and we really connected then.
¶ The Battle for Truth
And you know I have been in the media, like you, for since the beginning of my career. I started in Hollywood working NBC and Warner brothers in television and I saw pretty early on just the corporate structure of of the industrial media complex and how controlled it is, you know, and it was a big turnoff as a, as an artist and a storyteller and and you know what's interesting. You know story is in the most impactful thing and guess who's the author of story?
god is god's author of all of our stories, all our stories, and there's an enemy that wants to come in and and and pervert that story, and and and and lie to us and deceive us, and it will use the media, and the controlled media, to do that. As we figured it out, you know.
And then I spent, you know, 16 years as a commercial director, as a professional propagandist, and I guess, during, during I mean that's what I was and I was working with the corporations that would pay, without agencies that would pay me. That you know to, to, you know, trick people into thinking they're not enough, and that's exactly what it is. And during COVID, that's when I really got confronted with what I was doing.
I'm part of this machine that is propagandizing the world, the world stage, and is it doing good? No, it's not. And then we saw it being used for evil and fear based. You know. Remember that back in 2020, when the world changed, oh yeah, still, you know what I would say?
it changed even before that, when they went off to donald trump for being donald trump, that's right, and he was never allowed to be seen as a human being, was never allowed to be normalized as a president, which is how they described it in their instruction manual that they gave to supporters at the beginning of 2017. I really thought it went evil there, because you couldn't say how. I think the Steele dossier is a bunch of BS. There's not a single firsthand source in this.
I can't verify any of it. I can't verify any of it. I don't believe any of it. Right? You couldn't say that without being a rabid right winger, exactly, you know, and a oh, she's a crazy Trump person. It's like-.
Dog whistle, terms that they just blatantly lose.
Yes, I didn't even know who Donald Trump was at that point. He was some reality TV guy. I sold the Trump Hotel in New York because I worked not far from there, so it didn't make sense to me. What was all this about? Why did they have to demonize us? Why did they have to write all these things about me that were not true? And then you realize, when you're in that position I think there's so many people who've lived through this now you realize that there's just nothing you can do.
You can't pick a fight with someone online. You're not going to win that fight and you don't even know if it's a person. Half the time it's a bot or it's an operation. It's a team of people and their only job is getting rid of you. And you start to realize how ruthless these people are and how evil they are. They really don't care. They went after my husband, they went after my family. There were people hoping I got divorced, and all of this because they didn't like what I reported on Benghazi.
You know, because the timing of it, because it was right when Hillary Clinton was supposedly going to fulfill her destiny as the first female president of the United States of America and my story got in the way because they abandoned people. They left them to their deaths in Benghazi and they were doing bad stuff and they didn't want anyone to know about it. Yet another off-the-books operation from the CIA, and so they were going to. If they can push you to suicide, they've won.
They've absolutely won, won. It's not enough to make sure that you lose your job. They don't want you to ever be hired again by anybody, and if you take your own life, then bingo right, they've hit the jackpot, absolutely. Who does that?
right who does that.
They wanted to do that with Big Balls, luke. Big Balls, that big balls, that's right, big balls, who just came out big balls is an iconic figure now because he is one of the very, very first to immediately survive the onslaught right.
Well, this, during this whole time, you know the george orwell quote and I think he's like, I mean, he's a prophet or he had the script, I don't know but he, he said in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act and that's that's where we, we have lived through that. You know, it's easier for patriots to come alongside us in in the early days. It's we were. You know we were. There were lions coming up amongst sheep. You know there are many sheep.
You know, and and as it's become easier in this, you know, now, as we've seen a new wave of freedom come with Trump getting back in office, now everybody's jumping on the bandwagon, but early on, when we were speaking truth, we were the crazy ones.
Luke, that's still sheep.
Yeah, they're still sheep, that's still sheep, that's true they didn't turn into lions. No, that's true.
But I will say this to you, because I've thought about this a lot over the years and I meet people all the time who are sort of exhausted from being attacked and waiting to be restored. And I look at them and I'm like how long have you been doing this? Two years, six years, eight years, ten years? I've been doing it for at least 12 years. I've been attacked and I say two things.
¶ Finding Freedom
I said to a Catholic priest, very good man, someone very close to my heart, who was savaged because of what he knows about the official Catholic church in this country. One and also because he exercised the White House for President Trump. And he stood before me and he had tears pouring down his cheeks and he was holding my hands and he said my child, my child, just help me. I don't understand.
I beat the investigation, I beat the bishop, I was restored by the Vatican and yet they're still coming for me. I don't understand why. And I said Father, first, why are you asking me? You need to be asking God. But I can tell you this. I tell you what God tells me now. And he said what? And I said when they put the first cross in Jesus's body, he didn't get to scream out in pain and say enough.
They didn't stop, they did the next one, and then they did the next one right, and then they did the next one. I said so how much pain do you have to endure? right we don't know, yeah, we don't know. But does it matter?
no, it doesn't matter and jesus himself said if the you know, if the world hated me, it will hate you too, especially if you're standing for truth. And God is the author of truth, and the enemy to me is the author of partial truth. He'll sell a partial truth, yes. Even just a little.
Yes, they take that tiny little curl of truth, because the best propaganda is not made up completely. If you have to make it up completely, it's easy. My mom used to say a lie has no legs. Well, a lie that's like a propaganda lie that has no legs of its own Right. You have to keep making legs for it, exactly Because they keep collapsing on themselves. Yeah, because they're not true, they're not real. And the other thing I want to say to you that I learned about the sheep Yep.
I'm an African by birth.
I'm an American now, but I grew up A South African A.
A South African.
A South African. South Africans are doing big things these days.
Well, apparently Elon Musk.
And Laura Lopkin Come on.
And I spent a lot of time in the bush. My father loved the bush. My mother did too.
And you know I lived over there for a year, so we have that common. And you lived over there for a year. I love that country.
And when you watch animals in the wild, as I did all my life growing up, you realize that there's a reason they all stick together. There's safety in numbers. So you can say it's cowardly, you can get frustrated, you can get angry, but it's not the whole story. We gravitate towards each other because we're social. Why is solitary confinement such a terrible punishment? Because we are social animals, we're social creatures.
We find safety in numbers and we find comfort and warmth and strength and it's part of our programming. It's in our DNA to survive.
It's in our soul.
It's in our DNA and our soul, and so I don't get angry at people. I have great reverence and respect for people who are willing to stand outside of that and be outliers For people like you. And all the time I've known you, Luke, you've never compromised who you are Never. You didn't even do it when they tried to force you to plead, when you knew that you could go, that they were going to try and put you away for 20 years, you knew that you had a good chance of going away for 5, 8, 10 years.
You knew nobody was winning a January 6 case in Washington DC. You knew it didn't make any sense for you not to take a plea deal except that you would not bear false witness. Yes, you to take a plea deal, except that you would not bear false witness. You wouldn't do it Right, and I knew you in that time, that dark, dark cloud.
And I'm one of 1,600 of us. You know our lives. We've been pariahs, modern-day lepers, I say.
And you didn't know where it was going.
No.
When you said no to that plea deal, you did not know where it was going. You did not know you were going to get a pardon from don trump. You did not know he was going to be re-elected. You did it for the right. You did the right thing for the right reasons. That's what you did as one of the things I always loved about you. It's one of the reasons I'm so happy to be doing this with you it's my show, by the way, just so you're clear.
No, I'm just kidding, it is your show. It is your show and I'm very grateful to even be sitting here and not going to prison. Oh, come on, yeah, and not going to prison I mean if this could have gone a different way but we're gonna have some fun we are. We're gonna make this fun. It's, it's gonna be. We're gonna change it up and you know I'm a goofy guy.
You know that you're a goofy guy so, okay, let's tell let's, let's talk about one of the funniest things. Okay, on your way to January 6th. Yes, you were doing lots of different characters, yes.
I was literally they used in my trial. I have a cowboy character called Cubicle Cowboy Skyler T Jennings Jr and they used my post.
Can you go in character now to tell the story?
Well, he's a big Skylander ranch, he's a real estate guy, but he's just kind of a weekend cowboy well, he's a weekend cowboy. We know we have a lot of these at texas. They live in the big city but they go play cowboy on the weekends okay, only on the weekends. On the weekends they can't really, they ain't real cowboys, but they think they is.
I'm kind of a mix of that, uh, but to be truthful, but anyway, I yeah, I was playing for alex stein's show characters and literally being his on-site commentator, his locations guy. For January 6th they used a post that said going to the dirty-ass swamp to save America. You know, apostrophe, america. They used that in my trial to say that I had a plan to go insurrect you know, an insurrection plan, because I had posted that on my satirical page on social media.
You were a poster child for the insurrection before they pinned it on. Stuart Rhodes, yeah.
And I was literally dressed as this over the top, you know, far right character.
And you were changing costumes.
Yes, in the car, yeah, I have.
Driving to DC.
It was. I'm a weird guy, you know, and so I can't believe it.
We'll get into that later. We will.
But you know so it's, and I think you know the whole thing with suffering, I think is, and brokenness can be a beautiful thing. And I think there's a great song by Chris Christopherson, who just died in the last year, called me and Bobby McGee, that Janis Joplin made famous, and I think you'll you'll the the main line and you'll you'll line up with how you've experienced your canceling. But there's, there's, it says freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
You know there is freedom in being canceled. I've lost my business, my production company, I've lost my good name, I've lost friends and family through this ordeal. And but I, I've lost my business, my production company, I've lost my good name, I've lost friends and family through this ordeal, but I've stood in my truth. That, I know, is God's truth. And so if you're standing in that light, even if the storm's coming, you're standing in the light of God and he's going to carry you.
And so what I love about that is like, if you've lost it all, what else can they do to you?
And so there's a freedom like there is, there's a freedom in going rogue. You know, yeah, there is, there is. Oh, there's total freedom in going rogue, because nobody can tell you what to do.
Exactly.
Except you have that inner compass. You know, if you're always doing the right things for the right reasons, or at least trying to do that, then it takes you to a good place. It really does. It's amazing when you start to live like that and you remind me of two things, luke. My sister told me recently that what she'd learned over all the years was to practice gratitude. So you can look at it and you can say, oh't have my amazing uh job at 60 minutes anymore.
And I, I, you know I don't have this and I don't have that. Or you can look at it every day and say, thank you, god. This is incredible. I have my own home, you know. I have beautiful children. I have, uh, I have a whole family. Isn't that a gift? Today? That's a rare thing. I have a family and, gosh, I've been loved all my life. Wow, look at all these places I've been able to go.
Look at all these people that I've been able to meet in the parts of the world I've been able to see and the things I've been able to do. Now I don't look at my house and think, when am I going to get my floors redone? And these dogs are eating all my baseballs and these kids have broken another door. Now I look at it and I'm like thank you for my beautiful house, god.
So practicing gratitude and living in gratitude is a big thing for me, because I really think it changes the whole frequency of your life. What's the frequency, kenneth, wasn't that? Yeah, exactly that's our age group.
Exactly, and I think, just if you look at your life story, your life story is if you trust in a sovereign God, which I believe we both do that has a plan and Jesus is our Redeemeremer. He loves redemption stories and I think that's what we're going to get into. A lot of these rogue guests are going to be redemption stories and you can't have a good story with an out and inciting incident in filmmaking and I, you know I got him.
You can't in an inciting instance where the problem happens when the storm comes and well, that's where you learn, that's when you learn and there's not. If everything just went smoothly, that would be a boring ass story yes, it would nobody would care and and so, and that's the I've.
I've lived as you have a wild ass story and I don't think I'd change any aspect of it because I mean, even just I spent time in prison and, ironically, my father does prison ministry and he couldn't get into prisons when I was inside, and so I was like, dad, I'll take over your prison ministry, because I was inside during COVID locked down.
So I mean it just Were you scared, Luke?
Oh no, god took absolutely all fear from me and I was going to go down fighting. If anything happened to me, you know, sexually I was ready to go down that wasn't gonna happen, nobody try to get frisky.
No, no, no because you know we have chalk if you need some work on your testosterone well, I do need, I have some.
Uh, I have this what's called a muffin top here that I need to lose from.
You think it's gonna.
You think chalk's gonna get rid of your muffin top yeah, yeah, and just getting past j6 depression wait, we're going to lose it.
This is a new motivation and I'm excited you down, I want to. I want it to slim me down. Not so sure about that. I don't have a muffin top well, you don't.
You look beautiful. I do have a muffin top, so we'll see if in the in the next 10 episodes, what happens. Stay tuned.
¶ Exposing Truth and Seeking Sponsorship
But uh, but testosterone definitely does help with you know, if you have low, I have. I was just recently talking about testosterone, did blood work and men, when you get up in your 40s I'm 45 when you get up to 40s, you need to check yeah, you need to check your blood levels and your testosterone levels.
I have okay, this is not a health show well, that's what I'm saying is chalk will help with your testosterone levels, because my levels are as low as a a female right now, which is embarrassing because I feel like I'm a masculine, masculine man. Okay, you're a man. Well, look at this, you know. I mean I got chesticle hair and stuff, so so, uh, you know.
So I think it's anyway, we're gonna, we're excited about this podcast because I, I want to these characters like it, like you've talked about, some may be notable world, you know, on the world stage, some may just be great stories that we get to tell. That's right, you know, in a long format. You know we haven't seen Laura Logan in this. You know we've seen the success. I mean Trump on Rogan, rogan, trump on Rogan. And this, you know we've seen the success.
I mean trump on, uh, rogan, rogan, trump on rogan I don't know, you know that's sometimes less, is more luke well, I know that was you know, and brevity is the soul of wit, so we're not going to drag it out too long, that's true right, we're not going to torture people, however. yes, however, it is kind of cool.
You know, as I've been talking to guests about coming on, there's some people out there that are well-known names that you might have seen, you know and you think you know about them, but you don't really. And I tell you why Because one of the aspects of cancel culture is to ignore.
So it's not just that they write things about you or take little kernels of truth and distort them, and you know that it's terribly misleading, it's just that they write things about you or take little kernels of truth and distort them, and that it's terribly misleading. It's also that they just dismiss and disregard you. So one of the things, and you're going to do a little traveling right for the show and hopefully going out to some interesting places.
I have a little segment right.
And we're going to take you, yes, and we're going to did we call it the Coffee with Luke Coffee. We're going to take you, yes, and we're coffee.
Did we call?
it the coffee coffee with luke coffee coffee corner, the coffee shop or coffee shop. The coffee shop, that was me that was you.
I've been genius because my name is luke. Coffee spelled like the drink. Yeah, they get it it is okay.
Okay, coffee, coffee gets coffee yeah, okay, okay so, but one of the things I want to do. At 60 minutes, I learned a lot and, uh, what I learned is that the audience loves to learn, but also that we're going to take you on a journey every week. So sometimes it's to a place you know, a place that you don't know or you've never seen, and sometimes it's a journey inside somebody's mind and into their or into their life, or into something extraordinary that they've done.
So that's what we're going to do we're going to just take you on a journey with us every week and hopefully it will bring something to people, because this is a time, this is a moment where there's so much happening. You want to make sense of it, but you also know that people don't really know where to go to get the truth. And people are hungry, for it 're very hungry they are, they always are, they always gravitate towards knowledge.
So um should we tell them about the secret sauce behind the show? No, I think so the that one over there with the glasses yes, our, our executive producer, come say hi, hi, keith, keith Warr. The ever patient.
He is.
Super creative.
The secret sauce. We'd just be sitting here talking to each other with no one looking and watching, if it wasn't for this guy and he wears many hats. He's amazing and he's a musician, comedian and the like and a libertarian and a libertarian. Libertarian. That's very important.
Yes, and he's very intelligent gentleman, so we're glad to have him um in charge you know the general, he's really okay, okay, maybe not okay, okay, all right, really well in charge of me?
I don't think so. Laura's in charge of me. I don't think so. No, Laura's in charge of course.
Okay, god's in charge.
She's the queen, okay, okay.
So I think we should say goodbye.
Well, I think I want to close with. We want to glorify our creator, because the creator of this universe and story in general. We want him to be glorified in the show, I think. And Keith's father and my father happened to be in full-time ministry and have you know, keith's father was inspired by God to write a prayer that we want this. Whether y'all we do this every time or not, we are going to be praying this weekly and we'd love for y'all to echo it and we'll even post it.
But if y'all would pray, pray with us and I'll read this beautiful prayer that Keith's father, keith, what's your father's name? Nick, nick, nick Warrer made for us. We did it yesterday and it's beautiful. Heavenly Father, we come to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, jesus Christ of Nazareth. We are grateful for your grace and love. We lift up Laura Logan and our associates who are beginning a new venture into the world of media through a podcast, this podcast Going Rogue with Laura Logan.

I'm going to make you do that part all the time. I will do it.
It's important, it's marketing. I worked in advertising. It's very important.
I just want to say thank you. Thank you, Luke. God brought us together.
I prayed for an opportunity like this. This God has blown my mind by the opportunity he presented me and I'm very humbly grateful. And I believe God has favor on this show and we want to especially if we put him at the forefront, to glorify his light and expose the darkness, which is our calling to. We're supposed to expose the darkness and point people to the truth, and I think we have a great team in place and it's only going to get bigger, better and stronger as we roll.
This is true and I just want to say thank you. I'm going to have a chapter in my book just on how to get canceled, because I've been canceled so many times that I've lost count and I've even been canceled by people I didn't work for, which is my favorite. But I am here still because people out there want to hear what I have to say and believe in me and know that they don't believe any of the nonsense that's been written and said and they know the truth and I'm very grateful for that.
I wouldn't be here still today. They didn't put me on television at CBS and NBC and ABC and all the other places I worked.
They didn't do it because and give you all those awards, by the way, which we'll see at our new studio in Fredericksburg, texas, in the beautiful hill country.
In the hard to fly over country.
That's right hard to fly over country.
And they didn't keep me going. That's right. They didn't keep me on television for any other reason than that the audience wanted to see me and hear from me, and it was the reaction from the audience that made it undeniable. That's what propelled me forward, really, trulyeniable. That's what propelled me forward really truly, and that's what kept me on television. That's what, uh what, kept me reporting. It's what kept me alive, and so I really am here because of all the people out there.
It's, it's not something I say to appear magnanimous or politically correct. It's true, it's true, it's true, and I was. When I made it onto network news, there were no South Africans, that's right. You know, I mean a couple Canadians, but even CNN. You know, Christiane Lepore, that was cable right, it wasn't network news, and so all of those things I was able to do because of good people behind me and because of the people out there.
So thank you, Thank you to all the people who have helped us get going on the road and you're not talking anymore. You're done.
I am. Yeah, you're done, I'm done. I just want to say, though, you're an angel. You're an angel because we talked to someone here in a future episode that was on the road with her through many shoots in Afghanistan and over in Asia, and not the least, and so we're always learning on this show Luke. Everybody believed she was an angel, and what I think is special is angel is a messenger of God and his truth, and that's who Laura Logan is to America and to the world.
And we're bringing you right to your homes. We're bringing this woman to do great interviews. You're going to get to know her at a level deeper than you ever have.
That's a lot of pressure. People I don't know so much about that. Be excited, I'm going to do what I do.
You're going to do what you do, but people gravitate to you because you are an angel and you're beautiful and you have a light, the light of the lord, and you have the joy of god in you, and so that's why people are going to be attracted. This podcast and you're a journal, you're a journalism uh, you know, expert award winning I'm gonna hurt you.
Well, okay, shut up. Yeah, no more, I've blown enough smoke up your skirt yeah, in fact, my skirt's so high right now I'm about to take off. You're welcome. You're welcome, okay. Thank you, luke.
Thank you thank you, we'll see you next time this is keith keith's, responsible for the microphones.
