has been a thorn in the side of california's covid crusaders from the very beginning, pastor john macarthurhurch joins us now. pastor macarthur, it's wonderful to see you again. tell me, how do strip clubs deserve more constitutional protection than churches at this point? >> thank you again, it's an honor to be with you but let me give you big picture. america is an amoral free fall. look at it as i would as a pastor. the murder of babies in the womb, and if you survive the womb, you try to seduce them into transgender deviation when you're young, if you survive that you corrupt them with a godless education, if you survived that you have divorce in the family, and if they grow to be adults, you ground them in a sea of pornography. this is a nation so far down in the sewer of immorality and wickedness that nothing surprises me. in fact, i would be shocked if a judge said open all the churches and close all the strip clubs. >> laura: the "l.a. times" previously reported this about your churches and coronavirus outbreak strikes l.a. mega-church that defied public health orders, but that ende

pastor john macarthur has been battling the state this entire pandemic, he's an american hero, he ise next to respond. >> laura: the petty tyrants in new york city have closed down schools but allowed bars to remain open, did that make any sense to you? me either. in california, a judge orders a san diego strip club to be reopened, apparently not being able to get a lap dance infringes on free speech. meanwhile california churches if you have medicare, listen up. the medicare enrollment deadline is only days away. with so many changes, do you know if your plan is still the right fit? having the wrong plan may cost you thousands of dollars out of pocket. and that's why i love healthmarkets, your insurance marketplace. with healthmarkets' fitscore, they compare thousands of plans from national insurance companies to find the right medicare plan that fits you. call or visit healthmarkets to find your fitscore today. in minutes, you can find out if your current plan is the right fit, and once you've let the fitscore do the work, sit back and enjoy not having to shop for insurance again.
