Woke Reverend Puts Trump on Blast During Inauguration

Woke Reverend Puts Trump on Blast During Inauguration 

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Those are animal documentaries is kind of hard for me
to watch, I'll be honest with you, because I get
so emotional, like more emotional watching stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Then I do anything else. Who's the Patrick? But are
we talking Patrick Starr? What are we talk about?

Speaker 1 (00:12):
I'm thinking that if it is the filmmaker, would be
my guess, oh, even more entertaining if it was Patrick Starr. Yeah,
it makes you wonder because of how emotional and kind
of wrapped up I get into this stuff. And I
told you this when I got back from Tampa, where
I had a bunch of animal encounters of different sorts
at Bush Gardens in Zoo Tampa and the Florida Aquarium.

(00:33):
I don't know, it's just like the unlocks something in
me being around those types of creatures, you know. And yeah,
so I'll suggest it if you're interested in learning about
blue whales and interactions with blue whales. Patrick in the Whale,
I just don't. I'm afraid to watch stuff like that
because of how like it makes me feel, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I feel the same way. There's this Robin Williams documentary
and I just I've dodged and weaved around it because
you just know, you know he's going to make you
feel something that you just I'm a tough guy. I
don't need those feelings. Get those feelings out of my life.
To have those feelings, Oh, I'm a tough guy. I
don't want to feel them.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
It's good to have them, but it's also disconcerting when
you can't control them and you know what's coming. I
just hate knowing what's coming, right Like, I just I
know that I'm gonna get emotional. Makes it difficult for
me to talk myself into into watching. But anyway, you know,
it is what it is. Now let's get let's get
into the news of the day. You want to talk

(01:29):
about you want to talk about this. Marianne Edgar Boody.
She is a Bishop of Washington, as the Bishop of
Washington since November of twenty eleven. She was elected Washington's
first female diocesan bishop, and before that, she served eighteen

(01:50):
years as rector of Saint John's Episcopal Church in Minneapolis.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
So she's pretty high rankings.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
She's got quite a long career and yeah, however, she's
been very vocal and Reverend Booty had a pretty unique
opportunity the newly elected and inaugurated President of the United
States Donald J. Trump, along with his vice president JD. Vance,

(02:18):
and their two wives showed up to take in this
service yesterday, which, by the way, a national prayer service.
You know, this is seemingly an innocent enough thing to
be attending, right, fair enough? Yeah, pretty innocent?

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Right?

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Well, Bishop Mary and Edgar Boody couldn't couldn't hold it
in and she boothed one. No, oh, she she couldn't
hold in her thoughts.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I've seen some videos of people.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
I haven't been in this particular cathedral, but I would
imagine that there are protections of said things. But when
you are in charge in the microphone, the only microphone
in the room is right in front of you, you
kind of get to say whatever the heck you want.
And that would be a bad time to cut the cheese.
Yes it would, Yes, it would. Well, we're going to
do now, though it's not going to hear that. It's

(03:12):
going to hear the thoughts of Edgar Booty directing them
directly at Donald Trump and JD. Vance and not the
general congregation in this cathedral. Here is Bishop Marion Edgar
Boody at yesterday's prayer service, at the conclusion of her sermon,

(03:33):
let me.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Make one final plea, mister President, millions have put their
trust in you, and as you told the nation yesterday,
you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
In the name of our God.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
I ask you to have mercy upon the people in
our country who we're scared now. There are gay, lesbian,
and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some
who fear for their lives. And the people, the people

(04:13):
who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who
labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash
the dishes after we eat in restaurants, and work the
night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens or
have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants

(04:34):
are not criminals. They pay taxes and our good neighbors.
They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues,
widara and temples. I ask you to have mercy, mister President,
on those in our communities whose children fear that their

(04:56):
parents will be taken away, and that you help those
who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own
lands to find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches
us that we are to be merciful to the stranger,
for we will all want strangers in this land. May

(05:22):
God grant us the strength and courage to honor the
dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to
one another in love, and walk homebly with each other
and our God for the good of all people, good
of all people in this nation and the world.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
All right, there's Bishop Mary and Edgar Budi and in
this moment of Donald Trump jdbans are kind of looking
at each other. Donald Trump kind of looks around and
it's kind of like, is this is this happening for real?
She actually talking to me. Now, For anybody out there
who says, yeah, the pet pastor or a reverend has

(06:08):
the ability to get has the ability to make a plea,
that doesn't mean it's overtly political.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I guess that's true. This was quite literally very political. Well,
I had a listener just calling in wanted to pass
along Eric. He wanted to ask you, does this mean
that her church is going to be taxed now because
she just made herself a political entity? Ooh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
I don't know how that works actually, but there's a
lot of argument that a lot of these churches should
be taxed at somewhat at some point because of kind
of the conversations that are being had there now. And
it's very different, right, And of course, you know Donald
Trump in the moment, as he was wandering back from

(06:52):
the services, being yelled at by some pressers like how
did you find the service or how did you like
the service? He said, Oh, it wasn't too exciting. I
didn't think it was a very good service. No, they
can do much better. I think the end kind of
it is just like, you know, I'm not so sure
that I was anticipating that kind of thing. I just

(07:13):
kind of wanted to be there for, you know, the
prayer service. I see your face. You got opinions on this.
I mean, you're you're a church going man. Well, I
think I grabbed it, clipped it and pulled the audio up.
We right at the beginning, you just yeah, it just
right at the beginning there, right before she starts talking.

(07:33):
If you pull the audio up, it's just it's almost inaudible.
We you got to pull it up.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, you're something else, you know, I could play it
again if you.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
No, No, no, more, no more, no more. Yeah, you
get two pumps. The third pumps a fifteen yard penalty.
It's three fifteen. We'll come back. We'll take the calls
if you've got some thoughts on this. Four oh two
five five eight eleven ten. Four oh two five five
eight eleven ten is the phone number. Be sure to
stick with us and we'll talk to you coming up
next to your live on news radio eleven ten KFAB and.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Raise anger on this radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
She says that our living in fear because of who's
the leadership of the country now. And we're taking your
thoughts four two five five eight eleven ten. And let's
go ahead and start with John today. John, Welcome to
the show. What's on your mind?

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Hey man?

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Can I I hope I can get my punt across
before you cutting me off of set me down. And
it's short. It is short. That's why I don't go
to church anywhere. I would go to her church because
everybody out here talking about there Christian and I hear
that word so much it makes me sick. It makes
me totally's sick. These people ain't bit more than no Christians.

(08:45):
And like I said, if you live in something. It was,
you know, the tree by the fruit it bears. That lady.
All the things she did, she didn't embarrass the president.
She spoke footh to power. She is a man, a bishop,
and she's supposed to be teaching God will treat every man,

(09:06):
every woman with human with dignity and respect. And what
Donald Trump has unleashed up on America, and Everybody's gonna
feel the brunch of it, everybody, not just me. I
didn't vote for him, but everybody's going. Like I told everybody,
I'm a part of the United States of America. I'm
gonna feel it just like you. This man has unleased

(09:27):
something everybody talk about. He got a man date. Okay,
let him do it, but I'm gonna tell you it's
gonna bite us all. So I disrespect this woman. She
didn't do anything wrong. She was being disrespectful. She told
him the way it was from a real Christian perspective.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
I don't know, John, and I don't disagree that. You know,
love thy neighbor and the Golden Rule and all that stuff.
I'm with you, right, I'm following along. What I'm saying, though,
is when you have a person who is politically. You know,
he's a he's a president, he's a political figure at
this point to address him specifically while doing a sermon

(10:07):
for a large congregation and specifically talking about illegal immigrants
not being all criminals and have mercy on them, even
though that is something that is completely unreligious, right, like
that has nothing to do with religion at all, that
these people broke the law when they came to this country.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
You know, it seems out of.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Place and just inappropriate for a reverend to be utilizing
that while speaking from basically as a conduit from God
to the people. That's really what a bishop does. And
now all of a sudden, we're talking about political talking
points against the elected president of the United States, and
he just seemed completely unnecessary and inappropriate in that moment.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
And just like you said, everybody has their opinion. All
the thing that I'm saying is this or else could
he have made that than to the person who it
was meant to be heard. He's the one setting all
the laws and signing everything into law. So it wasn't
no sense to talking to JD's lant. There wasn't no
sense talking to the Secretary of State. There wasn't no

(11:13):
sense talking to his wife. She talk directly and she
called his name. Miss the president ke directly to him.
I don't have a problem with that when you let
someone know that you need to be mindful of the
people that you are over. You're not over just Republicans.
You're not over just Democrats. You're not over the independence.

(11:33):
You're over everybody and everything that you're unleashing up on America,
up on America. Because I'm an feel the brunt of
it too. It's gonna come back to buye us all,
just like this. One Republican said, and he he got
a phone. He said, Look, if Donald Trump ever meant
to play that he want implement, you won't eat no more,
you man and your wife won't eat no more because

(11:55):
food would be so high. You can't buy a tomato.
You couldn't buy But now, you who you think get
this food out of these fields?

Speaker 2 (12:03):
John?

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Do you think?

Speaker 2 (12:04):
What are we? What are we still talking about here?

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Right?

Speaker 6 (12:06):
Like?

Speaker 2 (12:07):
I mean, you know, like I know that's what.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
But but but I just I like I don't need
a reverend who is there at the content of God
to be using that platform with the president in the
front row of the congregation to be directly addressing him
about things that are politically pointed and motivated.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
That's not what a prayer service is supposed to be.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
And I know you're getting ready to hang up and
get somebody else on, but let me finish this. That's
why we under state that we in because what I
hear every time Donald Trump say something, do something, the
Republican Party got a reason why he did it, and
defend him to no end. All I'm saying is that
whatever happened, then what happened to us? All So she
did it. I respect it, and you have your opinion.

(12:53):
I respect that, So we don't just leave it at death.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
All right, John, fair enough, thanks for calling in. Yes, sir,
all right, you have an opinion on this, you know.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I'm look, I've been taught my entire life that pastors, reverends, preachers, bishops,
like whatever their title is, fathers right like you know
in the Catholic Church, like you you listen to them,
and the reason that they have the ability that they
have is because they were blessed by God to be

(13:25):
kind of a messenger, right, And you have to have
a passion for the Word of God, and also a
lot of study, to be inspired by what you want
to be talking about in whom you're talking to it.
This last, like the last three minutes of this conversation
that she had, This was not a message from God.

(13:45):
This was I plead for mercy from for for illegal immigrants.
I plead for mercy for the LGBTQ community who is
afraid that they're you know, that things are going to
take place. I don't know, I have a I have
a I don't know. I just I don't like my

(14:08):
turkey to be touching my milk. Like I really think
that we need to separate the messaging politically, and I
think a lot of churches have done that to an
effective point. But in some cases that's alienated some of
the very far right, very fundamentalist type Christians because they
say that we're Christianity, and the direction that a lot

(14:29):
of these larger churches are moving isn't strong enough on
LGBTQ and isn't strong enough on the uh you know,
uh word of God in just like living in that space.
And I just wonder if there's you know, some balance
that we can strike. But the last thing that I
think Donald Trump and JD. Vance expected to hear with

(14:50):
somebody addressing them directly as the reverend, as the pastor
of this sermon, basically pleading that all the stuff that
you know, hey, legal immigrants, Hey LGBTQ people they're afraid
of you, be like, be merciful to them. It just
seemed like a bad thing to be in that moment.
It just didn't make sense. Let's do to Chris real quick, Chris,
welcome to the show. What's on your mind?

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I don't know. I just keep it simple. It's send
a reply to John. I mean that was I listened
to him a lot when he calls in. He's he's
a good caller. He's got good points and he's got
bad points. Like I might just say right now, but
religion is religion, and that's supposed to stay in the church.
Politics is politics, and that's supposed to stay out of

(15:31):
the church. It's not supposed to be mixed together. And
what she did was not right. That that is not.

Speaker 7 (15:37):
Right at all.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
And I was I'm strong Catholic. I was an older boy.
I got to Chism and everything else growing up. And
you don't mix the two together.

Speaker 7 (15:48):
Period.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
That's that's simple. You don't do it. What she did
was totally wrong. And I watched it. Yeah, a lot
of people took off of work to watch the inauguration,
a lot of people seeing what they've seen, and for
her to stand there at that altar and scold President
Trump like that was was not right. And I tell
you what it had it been on the other foot,

(16:10):
a democrat, Oh lord over.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Well, And that's the thing, Chris, I think I might
feel differently if this person didn't have a history of
kind of speaking out about Donald Trump and his policies.
But there is a history there, and you can find
some of the stuff that she's written, like, yeah, I mean,
so this is not isolated to just this one moment.
This is somebody who actually actively has been anti Trump

(16:38):
for some time and brought it into the church in
an opportunity, she had a chance to try to kind
of clown on him, I guess, and she took it.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
So I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
I feel like this is mixing two things that shouldn't
be in the same place.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
I'm sorry to step on your toes, but believe me,
and now with the new deal j this will get investigated.
Who gave this lady so much money under the table
to say what she said. She shouldn't have said that,
and she knows that. Yeah, I guarantee somebody flipped her
for money to say that.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Well, I don't think so, Chris.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
I'll just be honest, because she has a history of
kind of liberal beliefs, and she's been she's been the
diocese and the Bishop of Washington since twenty eleven, so
she's not really new to this purpose. But she has
never been this high profile because she's never talked directly
to a president like this in you know, the fourteen
years she's been working there. I appreciate the call, Chris,
thanks for listening to our show.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, I'm with him on the principle, though, this just
doesn't seem like a place or the time to be
deciding to bring personal political ideologies while you're standing there
at the altar as a conduit of message of the
message from God to your congregation. That's all I'm saying.
We'll take more calls if you're interested in calling in
four h two five five eight eleven ten. Four h

(17:56):
two five five eight eleven ten. And we do have
reaction from Donald Trump on truth and what her reaction
is to his reaction. We'll get to that in the
next half hour here on these Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
And raised songer on news Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Youth of America who are afraid for their lives right now,
which it just seemed completely out of place for a
lot of different reasons. And we're just discussing that. So
phone lines are open four two five to five eight
eleven ten. Four h two five five eight eleven ten.
Beth is on our phone line. Beth, welcome to our
show today. What's on your mind?

Speaker 8 (18:28):
Well, I thought I did watch it. I thought she
didn't have enough compassion herself for President Trump or the
Trump family for what they have gone through the last
eight years.

Speaker 9 (18:40):
And I just thought it was so petty and it
was just it was just ridiculous that someone would really
do that, and in front of this family who have
really they went through a lot and he has went
through a lot.

Speaker 8 (18:53):
Yeah, and he had no uh you know, I just walked.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
I think there was a sense of disappointment in his
face when she started doing this, because like, seriously, like
we're going to do this right now and again, Beth,
I don't know if i'd feel the same way if
I didn't know that this person already hadn't been outspoken
against Donald Trump in the past, right, Like, this is
a person who's used her platform as the Bishop of
Washington to write things and to say things in the

(19:22):
press to condemn Donald Trump for various actions throughout his
political career to this point. And it just seems completely
inappropriate for somebody who's a high ranking official, including the
Bishop of Washington, I mean, as high as it gets,
as far as this church is concerned. So yeah, I'm
with you. I just seemed completely out of place. So
I appreciate you calling in Beth, thanks for listening to us.

Speaker 9 (19:43):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
All right, let's go to Pam on the phone line. Hello, Pam,
what's on your mind today?

Speaker 8 (19:49):
Well, Emery, all I have to say is it is
this BS just the reason they got BA so badly
in the election, exactly this.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
And if they continue talking like this and being like this,
they're not going to get in for eight.

Speaker 8 (20:06):
Years if that.

Speaker 10 (20:08):
Yeah, and people are tired of it.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
And I wonder, like, like we had a previous color,
like what would be the reaction of, you know, a
more conservative fundamentalist priest or bishop saying something on this
level toward like a Democrat, right, people would be trolling
the heck out of them on social media.

Speaker 8 (20:29):
Right, Yeah, it's yeah, yeah, I exactly.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Just it's not we don't play by the same rules.
And like you said, I think that there is an
era of just we're sick of this kind of behavior,
of like this holier than thou behavior. From there you
go to political left and it's not it's not constructive.
It's not moving America into a unifying place. It is
just furthering the divide. To be quite honest with.

Speaker 8 (20:53):
You, I totally agree. And it's got a stop or
they can just there, you know what's goodbye.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
If we want America to be great, I think we
need to get to the middle here and I don't
think this is the kind of thing that'll do that.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
I appreciate the call, Pam, thanks for listening.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
You by.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Let's got a Joy on the phone line for two, five, five,
eight eleven ten. Welcome Joy. What are you thinking about today?

Speaker 6 (21:15):
How are you Hiriyah? The thing that comes to my
mind when we're talking about this stuff is the Bible
tells us we need to be responsible for who we
vote to govern us, and that's the people spoke that
they were tired of being beat to death because they
were Christians, because they've believed in God. That's part of

(21:38):
the reason they voted for Donald Trump, because they keep
trying to take it away from us all the time.
The left just keeps trying to shame us for being Christians,
for being godly, for trying to live a life with
some type of common sense. Yeah, well, you know, nobody's
trying to keep any you know, anybody q whatever, however

(22:01):
you are saying, yeah, they're more than welcome to go
to church, They're more than welcome just to be you know,
nobody is against those things. But we don't want to
shove down our throat.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Right, And it's just it seems like, yeah, it seems
like it's just kind of like the mixed messaging of
that whole bit. Right, it's just like, hey, and have
mercy and all these people that you're just you want
to create these laws and make them fear for their life.
But that's just a complete misinterpretation of what we're talking about.
The illegal immigrants are illegal immigrants. It is quite quite

(22:34):
clearly illegal in the name and in the term of
how we talk about this, that this is not something
that we should just like scoff over because you say
a lot of them are good people. Yes, a lot
of good people do bad things.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
They forget the term that they came here illegally.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, and it's not productive for the United States to
just let people break our laws. That loophole was exploited
a lot in the last four years, and she shouldn't
be exploited anymore. I think for the all joy great stuff.
Uh uh yeah. So we'll take more calls here four, two, five, five,
eight to eleven ten, but I want to set aside

(23:09):
and we'll get to more calls with everybody the phone lines.
You're kind of popping on this right now. We'll get
to the reaction Donald Trump had on truth Social and
we'll get to the reaction to that reaction from Marion
Boody herself, and we'll talk about that coming up a
little bit later on. It's not necessarily super privy to
what we're talking about with what she said at that service,
but I do think it provides a little bit additional

(23:32):
context to this conversation. And we'll talk about this coming up.
When will you come back on news Radio eleven ten?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Kfab Emrie Sunger On news radio eleven ten, kfab.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Her pointed comments at a prayer breakfast yesterday for Donald Trump, saying, basically,
have mercy on our LGBTQ plus community, especially the children,
and have mercy on illegal immigrants. Things of that nature.
We're taking phone calls four h two, five five, eight,
eleven ten. Let'st with Jesus. Jesus, welcome in. What's on
your mind?

Speaker 5 (24:04):
Hi? How's it going?

Speaker 10 (24:05):
I mean, awesome topic. Here's the thing. We're in a
spiritual battle. The Bible says we live in a spiritual
battle here on earth. It's good against evil we have. Also,
it talks about false teachings and people like this pastor
who are teaching false teachings. Okay, if you read Romans
Won eighteen through thirty two, God's word says exactly how

(24:30):
you should be talking about this. It's counterculture is against
God's word. And if people say, well, what about Jesus
heeding with sinners, that's correct. Jesus did eat with sinners,
but it was the sinners that left changed, not Jesus Christ.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
So it was the sinners that left.

Speaker 10 (24:51):
To go and listen when he said go and sin
no more, and sin is exactly what the algab community is.
I'm not saying it is what God says. Yeah, I
am just a follower of Jesus Christ.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
Yeah, and his teachings are happening.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, and hazus I.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
That obviously, I think that viewpoint is shared by many
people in the Christian faith over a long period of time.
And I'm not here to talk about that specifically, but
there is a level of just kind of oddness to
speaking or preaching with that kind of terminology specifically as
a conduit of God in that moment to a congregation,

(25:34):
even if it is specifically addressed to the present.

Speaker 8 (25:37):
Wrong.

Speaker 10 (25:37):
But what she did was wrong, speaking like that to Trump,
or speaking like that to anybody. Because she is she
should be more concerned about the souls of her own
congregation and getting people to coming to a saving grace
in Jesus Christ. That is her number one responsibility to

(26:00):
doing that. What she did I didn't actually hear from
I was catching here clips and that of it. But
her number one responsibility as a pastor of a church
and leading shepherding her church is to lead people away
from sin.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
Because no one.

Speaker 10 (26:19):
Here on earth has the authority to say that it's
okay to sin.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
That's one hundred percent true. Zeus.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
I really appreciate you bringing this up today. Thanks for
calling in. I always love hearing from you.

Speaker 9 (26:31):
Bet.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Go to Clifford on the phone line of four or two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten. What say you, Clifford?

Speaker 6 (26:37):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (26:37):
Em Mary, is a pleasure to talk to you.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yeah. Same.

Speaker 7 (26:42):
Well, you know, I think the word that comes to
my mind is I was just appalled at that. My gosh,
maybe she should have some compassion for a fellow that
just survived two assassination attempts. And I'm not a Catholic

(27:02):
by any means, but then I get to think it
all out of the world, did this woman get to
this position?

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Yeah, well, it's interesting because that I am so not
privy to how that entire episcopal church system operates, but
she's been I thought she was elected to be Washington's
first female diocesan bishop, and that was after eighteen years
as rector of Saint John's Episcopal Church in Minneapolis. So

(27:31):
apparently there's some hierarchy that she had worked herself to
within the episcopal church and that's how she got to
this very unique in high ranking position.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
So I have no idea what.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Even to tell you on that, except for the fact
that apparently people that are her peers have elected her
to be this person.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
So I don't know.

Speaker 7 (27:54):
Well, guys, you wouldn't think that her congregation or her
peers would be too happy with her at this moment.
I'm just kind of curious to see how long she
holds her position.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Well, seeing as how she's been there since twenty eleven,
through the Obama administration, through the first Trump administration, through
the Biden administration, now getting the second Trump administration, and
considering that she's in her mid sixties, I can't imagine
that she's going to be there forever.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
So I guess time is going to tell Clifford, and
we'll see.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
We'll see, because maybe this is just the Washington d
C as a geographical space is generally quite more liberal
than they are a conservative as far as their population goes.
So maybe this is just something that is just a
Washington d C thing more than it is just a
her thing.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (28:41):
I think I think I agree with you there, Trump,
he's a way better man than I am. Might have
just stood up and walked out.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Yeah, Well, he didn't do that, but he definitely had
some choice words after he left, that's for sure. I'll
get to that in a bit. Appreciate the call, Clifford.
Thanks for listening to us today.

Speaker 7 (28:57):
Thank you, sir.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Let's go to Joe real quick before we off this hour.
Let's go Joe. What's going on?

Speaker 7 (29:02):
Oh hey, Mary, I just been listening to this and
I listened to that woman Bishop, you know, rail on Trump.
She's just a jerk. We a jerk would do that,
So that's the way I look at it.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, she definitely if it was anybody other than Trump,
she would not have said that regard Would.

Speaker 7 (29:20):
She rail on Biden or Obama or one of the liberals? No,
I bet she wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Absolutely not No.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
But then again, she's again she's spoken out and written
things and been you know, vocal in the past about
not liking Trump and saying that he shouldn't be the
leader of our country. So it's not that surprising to
me that this person, when given an opportunity, would say
something with the cameras on and rolling, which she definitely
took that opportunity yesterday. Thanks for the call, Joe, Appreciate

(29:49):
you listening to us. Yeah, so Uh, let's get your
thoughts real quick, Matt, because you and me are talking
off yere real quick before we ran out of time.
I just want to make sure, you know, give you
an opportunity to say your piece here, because as you
were hearing that, I could see your face kind of
scrunching in abnormal directions as you were hearing the things
that you know, Reverend Booty was saying.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Well, and okay, Reverend, I would like to have I mean,
I have friends in the LGBTQ community, and they know
that I care for them dearly same. I'm also a
man of faith, same and that's very important to me.
And the first caller that we had here John, and
we love it when John calls in. He mixes it up.
He's a very smart guy, has a lot of interesting

(30:29):
things to say. I didn't agree with him today, I'll
put it that way, but I will say that he
said that this was a talk talking truth to power,
telling truth to power. I think this is a moment
for me telling truth to power. Referencing this Reverend Reverend
Mary and Edgar Booty, I specifically when she references children

(30:53):
and then uses the terminology transgender, I just I would say,
dive deep back into the good world, because I don't
think that that is uh, I just I don't think
that I.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
That that, for me was just the line that she'd
crossed in an out of terminology that doesn't quite compute
with the job in which she is being.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
I would say, so, and I and I don't think
that she was espousing her faith appropriately or properly or
truthfully in that moment. And so this is me telling
truth to power. Nice, So good job, good job. Yeah,
you did that. Well, I'm proud of you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
So I'll get to Donald Trump here on Truth's Social
and when we come back at the top of the hour,
I'm not gonna play the full three and a half
minute bit that, you know, the full thing if we're
going to podcast that. So if you missed that and
our reaction to that specifically which created the conversation, we'll
post that onto our social media here, not our social media,

(31:55):
onto our podcast page on the free iHeartRadio app here
in the next hour or so. So you go back
and listen to all three and a half minutes of
what she was saying, and she tried to say it
very gently and all this stuff. But well after the
fact Donald Trump seeing you know that this was going
across the media and.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
This was a viral moment.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
He has He spoke late last night on his truth
social I'll read what he said and then I have
a couple of things that you know. Mary and Booty
herself has responded today in the aftermath because of course
now she's getting a bunch of TV time to talk
about this viral moment.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
And this is what people do.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
They take advantage of their moments because they want people
to hear them. We will talk about that coming up. Man,
we got another keyword for a chance to win a
thousand bucks next on news Radio eleven to ten kfab
