Welcome to Check with Chip, broughtto you by retire Smart. I'm Chip
Maxwell. We're in the home stretchof Patriot Pride Month, the rebuttal to
Pride Month, so I'm focusing onexcerpts from my book that deal with the
battle between the cross and the rainbowflag for cultural supremacy. My book is
fix It Now, rediscover natural law, and get America out of its cultural
(00:24):
death spiral. All you conservatives whowant to ignore the social issues and stick
to the fiscal issues, we won'twin on the fiscal issues unless we first
win on the social issues. Wewon't even get to the fiscal issues,
especially with young people, unless wefirst win on the social issues. Here
(00:48):
we go. What do an appleorchard in Michigan, akink shop in Colorado,
and a flower shop in Washington Statehave in common? They were targeted
for destruction by left wing tortalitarian rainbowjack booted thuggery because of their views on
same sex marriage. The orchard waswilling to accommodate patrons regardless of sexual orientation.
(01:14):
A leftist trolling for Trouble on Facebookasked the owners about their view of
marriage. The owners said, we'reCatholics who believe marriage is a sacred union
between a man and a woman.Wrong answer. The city of East Lansing
banned them from the local farmers marketfor being vicious discriminators. The city seemed
(01:37):
blind to the fact that it wasdenying religious liberty by discriminating against a mainstream
belief of a mainstream faith tradition basedon natural law. It was worse for
the cake maker. He accommodated customersregardless of sexual orientation, but he would
not make cakes promoting same sex marriageand other things that conflicted with his religious
(01:59):
beliefs. He was dragged through commissionsand courts all the way to the Supreme
Court. He won, but leftistskept coming at him with new requests.
A cake for my transgender coming outparty, a cake to celebrate National Queer
Day. The process would start allover again. Plus he endured vile harassment
(02:21):
and death threats, and a massivedecrease in business. The guise who soothed
the florist in Washington State were regularcustomers the florist considered friends. She had
provided flowers for them for numerous occasions, but when they asked her to be
the florist for their same sex wedding, she declined. She said the same
(02:42):
thing the cake maker told his tormentors, I can't do it for religious reasons,
but plenty of others in the businesswould be glad to do it.
Nope, your exercise of religious libertyoffends us. You will provide flowers for
our wedding, or we will putyou through the legal grinder and ruin your
(03:05):
business. After a legal battle thatinvolved the Supreme Court, the florist got
a settlement and retired, but notwithout a grueling decade of headache and heartache
over something that never should have happened. A couple in Michigan opened a wedding
venue. I don't mean to pickon Michigan. This happens all over the
country. It began with a burstof business. Then a rainbow warrior asked
(03:30):
about LGBTQ ceremonies. The couple said, no, we have a Christian view
of marriage. Unleashed the demons,and the reaction was demonic. The couple
was reviled on social media as homophobic. The online sign up system was swapped
with requests for fraudulent events such aschild sacrifice. Someone wished for the wife
(03:54):
to be barren. Someone called thehusband's mother to be rate her or raising
a homophobe. That's fascism. Agreewith us, or face hell on Earth.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
