Speaker 1 (00:00):
Baby Jesus takes a political stand. A Texas center run
has the strangest launch in history, and we asked the
question this week, do the Democrats even know the difference
between a lion truth? The only way to describe this
week's Did they really just say that cuts is what
the bleep?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker. This is news, but.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I've got a couple of pushbacks from total strangers. It's
called the murderer yesterday, someone who is in need of repentance.
What we celebrate at Christmas is the piece of Christ
brought into the world. It's right here, it's right now.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
She's the new star of the Democrat body, Jasmine.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I watched her speak the other day.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
She's definitely a low IQ person.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
If the President cannot keep my name out of his mouth,
then who is it that would be better to make
sure that they are in the.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
US innate to hold him accountable?
Speaker 7 (01:00):
Senator, have you seen the video?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
I have seen the video.
Speaker 7 (01:04):
I just want to make sure that I get this accurate.
You have seen the classified video of this particular strike,
the first strike and then the double tap as it's known.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
I've read the food report, but I've not seen the
actual video.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
That US Senator of the Democrat Party, Senator Timmy Duckworth
on CNN, and she's she you know, she's getting on
board with her party's mantra that the Trump administration's blowing
up Venezuela and Narco terrorists, drugs, smuggling boats, and the
(01:44):
Caribbean is bad, very bad. In fact, it's a war crime.
That was her story why she was going on the
air cut number four.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Everything that they've done is been illegal. It's illegal under
international law, it's illegal under the Geneva and it certainly
is even illegal under domestic law. It was essentially murdered
with that double cap stripe.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
So, I mean, that's that's a very strong statement.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Murder.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
Does that constitute a war crime? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
It is a war crime? It's illegal. How are you
put it?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's all illegal.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Look, then I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under
the laws of war, if as a pilot bails out,
he gets shot down, he bails out, he's in a
rubber diginghy in the middle of the ocean, under all
the international laws of warfare, you are supposed to help
render aid to that individual. Even if they have a
radio and they're calling for their side to come pick
them up. You're not allowed to go back in and
(02:41):
kill them, even if you know that they're going to
conduct future operations against you. That's the Geneva Convention, and
so everything that they did here was really.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Good, except that the Venezuela Narco Terras anatics signatory to
the Geneva Convention.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And that's not what happened.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
What happened was the fact that the boat was still
afloat and full of drugs. So apparently the people on
board were trying to push it to the shore so
they could save the drugs, and that's why the US
military bombed it again so they couldn't use the drugs,
which was the whole point of bombing it to begin with.
(03:18):
But for our purposes, what happened next was Tammy Duckworth.
Senator Duckworth lied. She was asked, did you see the
video of it? So are you passing judgment after having
seen the video? Yes, I've seen the video. Then she
goes on to say how horrible it is and again,
and the CNN anchor is thinking something's not right here
and says, wait a minute, have you seen the video
(03:40):
and she hasn't been No, she hasn't seen the video,
so she lied to everybody.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Cut four A Senator, have you seen the video?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
I have seen the video and it is deeply disturbing.
I am mostly concerned with the fact that we are
putting our American servicemen and women in jeopardy here. We're
putting them in jeopardy in case they ever get shut down.
We're putting them in legal jeopardy. They could be brought
up in international criminal courts. And so what we're doing
here is taking those professionals, or utmost professionals and putting
(04:09):
them into harm's way. And that's what bothers me the
most about what Pete hex Saith is doing. He is
the least qualified secrety defense in our nation's history, and
he's very cavalier about doing things. The fact of the
matter is only Congress can decide that we can go
to war, and there was no such declaration made.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
I just want to make sure that I get this accurate.
You have seen the classified video of this particular strike,
the first strike and then the double tap as it's known.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
No, I've just seen what's been available in the media.
I've read the food report, but I've not seen the
actual video, so.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
I haven't seen the video.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
But yeah, so I mean, this is you know, she did,
but she didn't. This is what the Democrats have been
doing lately. They lie and the next breath they exposed
their own lie. I'm I'm thinking that they don't know
the different and so therefore don't understand that they just
blew themselves up. And you know, and she's going on
(05:06):
literally and she's going on this, we're not at war
with Venezuela. This is when this signatory stuff and all
that stuff would be effect to when Congress would declare
this is drug smuggling. This is this in the interests
of keeping drugs out of the United States. This is
not an official war with the country, which is why
none of this stuff applies. But and she knows this,
(05:27):
but she doesn't care because this is all about getting
Donald Trump. It's not about protecting Americans or stopping the
drug smuggling. And that's why she's making a big deal
and lies about seeing the video. So she's passing judgment
on something that happened. Even though the admiral excuse me
involved have testified in front of Congress that there was
(05:48):
no kill order given they were not to kill people.
They were just there to stop the boat, and that's
all they were trying to do. And yet she felt
compelled she had to lie about seeing the video.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
If you're a if you're a drug smuggler, specifically in
and around the Caribbean, the Eastern Pacific, that area of
the world, now might be a good time to get
your resume together and look for a gig.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's just amazing to me, how you know, they they
expose their own lives, and they're even surprised when they're
caught by their own videos exposing their own lives. It's
just it's become an epidemic. There was another case of this.
It was in Where was it, I think it was Chicago.
(06:29):
It's Congresswoman Adelita I can't pronounce her last I think
it's Grijalva. And she basically got into a confrontation with Ice,
yelling at them, you need to get out. You hear
car horns, beef and it's just basically them yelling, just
a lot of yelling going back and forth. This is
the this is the natural sound of the confrontation between
(06:52):
the congress woman and and Ice six A.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Yeah, come down and get out. You need to get out.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
You out.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
So that's what happened. But here's the thing. She lied
about what happened.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
She said that she was shot at and that you know,
she was sprayed in the face with pepper spray and so.
And the problem was, there was video of this, as
you just heard the audio from it, there was actually
video of the confrontation. Nobody was shot at, nobody sprayed
her with pepper spray. So she completely and utterly lived.
And then she goes on MS and she's.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Confronted by her lie and she's like, well, it was
it was really scary.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Cut six. First of all, it's great to see you.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
I'm happy to see that you're okay.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
How are you? How are your staff doing?
Speaker 6 (08:00):
I think we're all okay. It was it was really scary,
very jarring. I mean, it's one thing to hear about
these things happening in communities. It's another thing to have
it happen directly to you. I really did go, you know,
with the assumption that I'm just trying to understand what's happening.
And so I went up, I introduced myself, I let
them know who I was. One agent said, I don't
(08:22):
care who you are, you need to get out of
the way. We were pushed, we were shot at, and
it's really scary. It was very frightening and very jarring.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Shot at. It seems like it is like.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I mean, you heard what happened. You hear anybody getting
shot there? You're shot at?
Speaker 7 (08:42):
No.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
The only thing I heard, and I hope somebody checked
on him, is the guy in the background who kept coughing.
I felt, I think he's got bronchitis, and he should
could be he should get him into something.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But I mean, so she's out there lying about what happened.
Then the video comes out and she's like, well it
was scary, okay, I get scared on, you know. And
and how dare the ICE agents say, I don't care
who you are, get out of our way. We're in
the middle of an operation. How dare he do that?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's shades of.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
That mcgiver, Lamonica mcgiver, congressman, who is just how dare
you tell me to leave? I'm a congress woman. Yeah, okay,
but that doesn't give you extra special rights. You know,
you can't interfere with law enforcement. That's basically, you know
what it comes down to. But when you have your
leaders lie like this, lie like rugs, not think anything
(09:29):
about lying, and not care when they're exposed to a lie,
then other people who are not officeholders think that it's
okay to lie too, and what the hell, maybe this
way I can make some money. So in this case,
another case you had, you're gonna hear natural sound of
an illegal alien being arrested by ice and then the car,
(09:50):
the ICE car drives away, and after the car leaves,
the illegal alien starts screaming, claiming the car ran over him.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Cut five.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
What they don't realize, what he didn't realize, is their video.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
There is video of the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
The car isn't near him, he waits, the car drives away,
and then starts screaming like you just heard the car.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Doesn't touch him.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Are you sure he wasn't shot?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
He could have, Yeah he could have been. He could
have been with the congresswoman. I mean, but it's okay
to lie because you see people like like like the
congressman Grijalva there lie. You see people like Tammy Duckworth lie,
and you know, and it's just an exposed lie and
they don't.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Care the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They just don't care.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
You know.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
It's of course we live in a different society now,
I get it. But you know, fifty years ago, sixty
years ago, whatever, pick a year, you couldn't get away. Well,
you could get away with this crap because nobody had
video of stuff, so you could say, hey, that car
hit me, and it would be like, oh my god,
that car hit him. Now it's like that car hit me. No,
(11:15):
it's like all these different people who get nabbed by
either by audio or video or being caught on ring
cameras or whatever it is. Right, Well, do people know?
Am I the only one? Maybe I'm the smart one?
Do people know that there's video and audio and everything everywhere?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
And generally everybody has a camera, right.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Everybody has one right in their pocket. But then in
addition to that, you've got ATMs on the corner, you've
got ring video, you've got body.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Worn cameras everywhere.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
So hello, listen, if you're gonna lie about being run
over by something, you're gonna need to be way out
in the woods where there's no service.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Or something run by a bear.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I got right, a bear ate me? Well, how are
you here, then well I got out again, So stop
with this. I don't understand why people think, and even
if it takes a little while, because sometimes you have
to unsort everything. But I don't know why people think
they can just blatantly tell lies and they're not gonna
get caught.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Because our leaders lie and there's no consequences, so everything's
it's acceptable not to lie. And speaking of liars, this
was I found this hysterically funny. I don't know if
you will, but Congresswoman Jasmin Crockett of Texas, who President
Trump continually calls low iq. I don't know if he's
(12:34):
right or not, but she does say some pretty bizarre things.
But she lost her congressional seat. She's still a congresswoman
until the next election because her seat was gerry mannered
out by the Texas Legislature, which means she no longer
has a job as a congresswoman. So she's decided the
best step for her is to run for statewide election,
and she's going to run for John Cornan's election. He's
the Republican running. There was another Democrat they've pulled out,
(12:57):
So she announced this week her candidacy for US Senate.
It was the most bizarre campaign kickoff I have ever seen.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And this is why.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I want to play for you the audio from her
campaign launch. This is just the audio, and this audio
played while she sat there and looked into the camera.
This is the entire launch.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
It is this sound with her picture cut seventeen. How
about this new one?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
They have their new star, Crocket.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
How about her?
Speaker 8 (13:36):
She's a new star of the Democrat boardy, Jessmine Carackett.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
They're in big trouble.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
But you have this woman, Crocket. She's a very low
IQ person.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
I watched her speak the other day.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
She's definitely a low IQ person. Crocket.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Oh man, oh man.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
She's a very low IQ person.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Somebody said the other day she's one of the leaders
of the party. I think you gotta be kidding.
Speaker 8 (14:03):
Now, are they going to rely on Crockett?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Crockett's going to bring them big oge.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So does this make any sense to you? Because this
sounded to me. This looked to me like an ad
for her opposition. It's Jasmine Crockett with the president insulting her,
calling her low IQ.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That's all it was.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
That's all that there was what look like if I
were John Cornyn that is the AD I would launch
and it is and that was her launch for her
campaign for US.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Honest, I don't know who does her planning, like who's
her campaign manager or the you know, advertising manager or
launch campaign launch manager, but they they should be launched
out of out into space. I don't understand why you
wouldn't at least. Okay, fine, you know you want to
play a cut. President Trump say'd been a jerk and
he's called me this and blah blah blah and here, fine,
(14:56):
but you gotta who are you?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
What do you what can you do for me?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
What are you knowing about for me?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Why are you running for Senate?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Her smiling into the camera with President Trump calling her
a low IQ. To be honest with you, it kind
of like it makes his point. But it's as she's
sitting there and that is her AD. Vote for me,
Jasmine Crockett. And by the way, remember something about her.
She is a off the rails progressive and that may
work in her little district. She has a very little
(15:26):
district in Texas, so she's only got to get like
ten thousand votes of people to win her district to
be a congressman. She's running for statewide office now, and
so it's a hard row, which is it's a difficult
row for progressives to get to Senate seats. They can
win congressional districts because they're small, and that's why you
see members of the squad up on Capitol Hill in
(15:47):
congressional seats, but she don't really see them in the Senate.
That's why, because you have to take the whole state
with you in order to win that Senate seat. So
this was her pitch to the not just her ten
thousand fans in her little district of of her congressional district,
which no longer exists. It is, in fact, her pitch
to the entire state of Texas. Look, President Trump thinks
(16:09):
I'm low, i Q high by the.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Way, in a state where well you've already laid it out,
but I mean they they voted for President Trump. They
love you know.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Uh well there's not a blue state.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
God o, my no. And so yeah, if that's your
pitch right out of the gate, vote for me. Donald
Trump hates me.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
What And she don't even say vote for me. She
just sits down and smiles.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Right, But that's but that's the the impression is that
she's saying vote for me because Donald Trump hates me,
which which, by the way, might actually fly in a
blue state. It should not fly at all. Oh and oh,
let's let's not let's not forget. She also has a
challenger in the Democratic Party in the primary, so she
might not even get the primary. Oh did they drop out?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Dropped out?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Probably because Donald Trump likes them.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It's a big gift the Republicans.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
And then and then there's of course Cornyn has a
Republican primary challengers too.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But so we'll see is a pretty well established senator though.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Right, we'll see what happens. But I will say this,
if on the off chance, and it would be a
way off chance that Jasmine Crockett does get the Senate
seat from Texas, uh, there's there's gonna be some fun
in Washington.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Indeed, I think Chuckle Schumer should be worried if if
Jasmine gets gets in, because the Progressives are not happy
with Chuck.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Why doesn't here's an idea. And you know, you had
Hillary Clinton who became a got elected out of New
York State. She she kind of came in and carpet
bagged depending on how you look at it, Jasmine Crockett
should move to New York State and challenge Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I think she had to live there too long, carbet
bagging to.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Get it, takes too long to carpet bag a carpet bag.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I know Bobby Kenned, he just moved to New York
and before you know he was a US senator.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, no, I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah. One of the big stories this week, national stories,
but it happened here in Debdam, Massachusetts, was a church
who put up their Nativity scene outside of the church,
but instead of Mary, Joseph, the Baby Jesus, et cetera,
they put a note in the manger saying Mom, Dad
and the Baby Jesus are inside safe because they needed
(18:27):
to be protected from ice agents.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Ice was here.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Ice was here, So, uh, what the bleep? And here
is the Uh. It's caused a huge brahaha.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
First of all, that the church is in fact politicizing
the Baby Jesus and Nativity, which is a big issue.
And the archdiocese went, what the no, stop that, now,
take the note out of there, put the family back
in the manger, and the church said, bleep you to
the archbishop This is CJ.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Doyle.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
He's the executive director of Mass Catholic Action League. On
the reverend, the priest that did this, who is Stephen
I think his name is Josoma, And he's not happy.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Cut twelve B.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
He's politicizing Christmas, he's exploiting the Holy Family. He's using
his position as the pastor of a Catholic parish to
promote his left wing politically theology.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I think that's well stated. And he had a few
more words for him. Cut twelve C.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
Is it not obstruction of justice?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
They're really pushing here.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
If he doesn't really believe in the Catholic religion or
thinks the Catholic Church is simply a vehicle for political activism,
perhaps he should find new employment.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah. I don't disagree with that. I mean, this is
not what your church is supposed to be for. But
here's the priest, Stephen Josoma, he's the Deadham parish priest.
And he says, listen, I hope all churches will follow
to cut twelve.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
This is a sense I would hope that all churches
would take I mean, we should be a welcoming community.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Okay, And then he says, you know he's gotten a
little pushback.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Twelve A.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I've got a couple of pushback from total strangers. It
was called a murderer yesterday, someone who is in need
of repentance. What we celebrate at Christmas is the piece
of Christ brought into the world. That's right here.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
It's right now, by the way. And I know you
have something else to say, yeah, but first of all,
thank god the church is doing the right thing and
saying get that politics out of there. Here's the thing
for the reverend and the church and the people who
are cheering. Is this really is the crux of it,
or for me it's part of the crux of it.
(20:39):
Is Okay, listen, you have free speech, right you, me,
the reverend, everybody in the world has free speech to
say what they feel. However, these are organizations, and I
know there's a You've got the church itself, the actual building,
the priests and the parishioners, and then you've got the
archdiocese which is a much bigger, you know, arm of
(21:01):
the church, and so on and so forth. But listen,
you get tax breaks. You are not allowed to do this.
It's not whether you know you are. You have the
freedom of speech.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
You give up your tax break, give it exactly, you
know what.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Give up your tax breaks, start paying taxes on the building,
and this and the that and and then guess what
you can say and do. Put anything you want on
your lawn as long as it's within you know, the
guidelines of the of the community. But yeah, you you
don't get to say I can say whatever I want
because it's the right thing to say. Look, maybe it is,
maybe it is, And I don't know how people feel.
I know how the reverend feels. But yeah, you want
(21:35):
to say that crap? Otherwise otherwise, otherwise give me a
tax break. Let me have freedom of speech and not
have to pay taxes. That would be fantastic. They keep hiding,
the church keeps hiding. Trust me, we won't get into
say the church hides behind the tax exempt crap and
they need to cut it out.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Well, this church does, because I need to point out,
for instance, that the Catholic Church has stood against making
political statements for a very long time ago. In fact,
I grew up with the congressman used to be in
that district when I was a little girl. Father Drynen
a Jesuit priest, and he was a good friend of
my parents, and my mother used to help him when
(22:14):
he was in when he was in residence in Washington,
and she used to help him do the entertaining.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
He had to do out of the rectory in DC.
But he and he served.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
He was a great congressman. He worked his ass off.
But the church said, you know what, I know you're
a Jesuit. I know you're highly educated. I know that
Jesuits basically are very active in their community. You cannot
be a congressman. Even though he was duly elected, you
cannot be a congressman. You have to resign because it's
just not appropriate for you as a church member to
(22:43):
be politically active as a congressman. A congressman he was.
He was overwhelmingly elected over and over again. I think
he served at once maybe too chrup before the church
caught wind of this and went yeah, no, and he
had to resign and he did. I mean, they if
anybody could have help the Catholic Church, they had their
own freaking congressman, and they said no, of course, so
(23:04):
they drew a line, and if they're not going to
let Father Drynen serve as a US congressman, where he
could help the church. They're not going to let this
guy no, basically flip the bird to the federal authorities
in the name of the Catholic Church.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
And that's what he was saying.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
This is not the church, the church itself because of
what you just said and obviously what happened even in
this case. But there are people within the church who
think that they get to have it both ways. They
get to stand behind the shield of free speech while
standing behind the shield of of of the church. This
is this is a people problem, not the church problem.
Trust me. The church has enough problems of himself. And
(23:44):
also in father Dryden's case and in this guy's case. Look,
here's the deal. You want to You got to do
one or the other. You got to either resign from
Congress or you got to resign from being a priest.
Either way exactly, either way you get to pick right.
And this guy, look again, this is back to choice right,
freedom of speech. You have all your choes here.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You have a choice.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Take the damn sign down and stop making your church political,
or you can quit the church or whatever you want
and go off and be a congressman whatever you want
to do. So, yeah, you don't get to live on
both sides of the of the river. Kid, I'm sorry
to tell you. It's just the way it is, and
it's the way it should be. Because we have enough
problems in the churches, and we have enough problems in
(24:27):
the politics. We don't need to have them intermingling, which
is why we have a separation of church and state. Now,
I'm not one who wants to outlaw saying Christmas and
all that crap, but there are guidelines and somebody's got
to follow them. Yeah, I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but
I'm with you. By the way, the problem with the problem,
here's one of the problems we run into. And of
(24:47):
course we are in a blue state, and denamis clearly
in the blue state. So you have Look, you not
only have this issue of the reverend and all this
fighting going on amongst the clerk people or whatever you got,
all the people in it that are coming to the
support of this church, which I am fine with. Look,
if you think that ice sucks and blah blah blah,
(25:10):
that's fine, but you all have to understand that just
because you have freedom of speech to say you agree
with the church, doesn't mean the church has that same
right if they're going to take the tax breaks and
be shielded from, you know, a mixture of church and state.
You can't say we loved separation of church and state,
except when we don't want separation of church and state.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
By the way, I know somebody who decided to go
to massover at that church just to scope it out,
and which I thought was interesting. And he said he
went in and all the baptismal fonts, all the holy
water fonts were covered. You couldn't they were dry, and
they were covered. And he's like, what's this And he goes, well,
you know we've had him covered.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Up because of COVID. Well COVID has been over.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
For a while yet yet they have While he was there,
he's watching everybody hug everybody. So everybody was hugging and
laughing and chatting and you know, no masking.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
And but we couldn't have holy one for like five years.
They haven't had holy.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Ones because of the drought.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
No, okay.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
So I mean it's just like it's a virtue signaling church.
They need to have their askman it to them by
the Archdioceis. Looks like that's going to happen. So I
think that that Father Josoma there is going to have
to make the choice that you have laid out so
very well.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I think that's what's coming, and I think it should.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Every week we end with a truth or troll. But
here's the thing about this week. We had something that
I haven't seen in a while, and I was just
thrilled by it, and I thought, instead of our truth
or troll we need, we're going to do a little
retro thing here abidenismidism.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
We haven't had.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Bidenism such the big switch over last January, really, and
but this is just too good to pass up. So
we'll put the truth or troll in abance for the week.
And this week we're having we're going back to one
of our Bidenisms. In this case, it's former President Joe
Biden speaking at the LGBD conference in d C. Where
he's talking about the country that we all know and
(27:07):
live in and love and he cannot get the name right.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Cut seven, We just have to get.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
Up so long as we keep the faith, someone hope,
and get back up and remember who in the hell
we are. We're the United States of America, got it, That's.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Who we are for the US, the United States of America.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Got it.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
We got to remember who we are. If only I
could remember who.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
We were, if only I could remember what the name
where am I?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I'm sorry, he almost had it. It was so close.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah yeah, And then he talks about his former press secretary,
Korean Korean Sanpierre, So it's he can't get her name.
I'm not getting her name right. But I'm not the president.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
She need to work for me. But here he is
cut seven a well.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
When I took office, I promised to have administration looked
like America. I kept my promise, and not just for
the community. My press secretary, Kareem.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
What a great basketball Kareem abdul Jabbar?
Speaker 8 (28:21):
What you know?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I mean that that black gay girl, I mean, what
the hell I mean? This was his press secretary for years.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
But then he doesn't know he lives, you know, he
thinks he lives in America. Americ got it?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
You know it was you know, Kareem put up some
good numbers against the Boston Celtics, which was tough for
a Celtics fans. Larry Bird, you know, took a whack
Adam a few times, and you know, yeah, so Kareem, Yeah, great,
job in the White House. By the way, you know
what a Kareem also was great at CO piloting a jet, yes, aplane.
So Kareem is very well versed and we appreciate all
(28:53):
of everything.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Or Jimmy whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Yeah, yes, I gotta go watch that now.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
So well, if you think I mean, I'm sorry if
you miss the truth or told but well, we'll bring
it back. But I just for this moment, I had
to go back to the Bidenism. So you can, I mean,
if you think we're being mean to President Biden, you
can tell us.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, you can tell us.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
You can contact Ben and I on x at news
by three or on Facebook at Newsbyte. We upload a
new episode every single Monday, so please check back next
Monday and see what new offerings we have.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Meanwhile, have a great week. I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker.
This is news Bite.
Baby Jesus takes a political stand. A Texas center run
has the strangest launch in history, and we asked the
question this week, do the Democrats even know the difference
between a lion truth? The only way to describe this
week's Did they really just say that cuts is what
the bleep?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker. This is news, but.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I've got a couple of pushbacks from total strangers. It's
called the murderer yesterday, someone who is in need of repentance.
What we celebrate at Christmas is the piece of Christ
brought into the world. It's right here, it's right now.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
She's the new star of the Democrat body, Jasmine.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I watched her speak the other day.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
She's definitely a low IQ person.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
If the President cannot keep my name out of his mouth,
then who is it that would be better to make
sure that they are in the.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
US innate to hold him accountable?
Speaker 7 (01:00):
Senator, have you seen the video?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
I have seen the video.
Speaker 7 (01:04):
I just want to make sure that I get this accurate.
You have seen the classified video of this particular strike,
the first strike and then the double tap as it's known.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
I've read the food report, but I've not seen the
actual video.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
That US Senator of the Democrat Party, Senator Timmy Duckworth
on CNN, and she's she you know, she's getting on
board with her party's mantra that the Trump administration's blowing
up Venezuela and Narco terrorists, drugs, smuggling boats, and the
(01:44):
Caribbean is bad, very bad. In fact, it's a war crime.
That was her story why she was going on the
air cut number four.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Everything that they've done is been illegal. It's illegal under
international law, it's illegal under the Geneva and it certainly
is even illegal under domestic law. It was essentially murdered
with that double cap stripe.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
So, I mean, that's that's a very strong statement.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Murder.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
Does that constitute a war crime? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
It is a war crime? It's illegal. How are you
put it?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's all illegal.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Look, then I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under
the laws of war, if as a pilot bails out,
he gets shot down, he bails out, he's in a
rubber diginghy in the middle of the ocean, under all
the international laws of warfare, you are supposed to help
render aid to that individual. Even if they have a
radio and they're calling for their side to come pick
them up. You're not allowed to go back in and
(02:41):
kill them, even if you know that they're going to
conduct future operations against you. That's the Geneva Convention, and
so everything that they did here was really.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Good, except that the Venezuela Narco Terras anatics signatory to
the Geneva Convention.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And that's not what happened.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
What happened was the fact that the boat was still
afloat and full of drugs. So apparently the people on
board were trying to push it to the shore so
they could save the drugs, and that's why the US
military bombed it again so they couldn't use the drugs,
which was the whole point of bombing it to begin with.
(03:18):
But for our purposes, what happened next was Tammy Duckworth.
Senator Duckworth lied. She was asked, did you see the
video of it? So are you passing judgment after having
seen the video? Yes, I've seen the video. Then she
goes on to say how horrible it is and again,
and the CNN anchor is thinking something's not right here
and says, wait a minute, have you seen the video
(03:40):
and she hasn't been No, she hasn't seen the video,
so she lied to everybody.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Cut four A Senator, have you seen the video?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
I have seen the video and it is deeply disturbing.
I am mostly concerned with the fact that we are
putting our American servicemen and women in jeopardy here. We're
putting them in jeopardy in case they ever get shut down.
We're putting them in legal jeopardy. They could be brought
up in international criminal courts. And so what we're doing
here is taking those professionals, or utmost professionals and putting
(04:09):
them into harm's way. And that's what bothers me the
most about what Pete hex Saith is doing. He is
the least qualified secrety defense in our nation's history, and
he's very cavalier about doing things. The fact of the
matter is only Congress can decide that we can go
to war, and there was no such declaration made.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
I just want to make sure that I get this accurate.
You have seen the classified video of this particular strike,
the first strike and then the double tap as it's known.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
No, I've just seen what's been available in the media.
I've read the food report, but I've not seen the
actual video, so.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
I haven't seen the video.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
But yeah, so I mean, this is you know, she did,
but she didn't. This is what the Democrats have been
doing lately. They lie and the next breath they exposed
their own lie. I'm I'm thinking that they don't know
the different and so therefore don't understand that they just
blew themselves up. And you know, and she's going on
(05:06):
literally and she's going on this, we're not at war
with Venezuela. This is when this signatory stuff and all
that stuff would be effect to when Congress would declare
this is drug smuggling. This is this in the interests
of keeping drugs out of the United States. This is
not an official war with the country, which is why
none of this stuff applies. But and she knows this,
(05:27):
but she doesn't care because this is all about getting
Donald Trump. It's not about protecting Americans or stopping the
drug smuggling. And that's why she's making a big deal
and lies about seeing the video. So she's passing judgment
on something that happened. Even though the admiral excuse me
involved have testified in front of Congress that there was
(05:48):
no kill order given they were not to kill people.
They were just there to stop the boat, and that's
all they were trying to do. And yet she felt
compelled she had to lie about seeing the video.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
If you're a if you're a drug smuggler, specifically in
and around the Caribbean, the Eastern Pacific, that area of
the world, now might be a good time to get
your resume together and look for a gig.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's just amazing to me, how you know, they they
expose their own lives, and they're even surprised when they're
caught by their own videos exposing their own lives. It's
just it's become an epidemic. There was another case of this.
It was in Where was it, I think it was Chicago.
(06:29):
It's Congresswoman Adelita I can't pronounce her last I think
it's Grijalva. And she basically got into a confrontation with Ice,
yelling at them, you need to get out. You hear
car horns, beef and it's just basically them yelling, just
a lot of yelling going back and forth. This is
the this is the natural sound of the confrontation between
(06:52):
the congress woman and and Ice six A.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Yeah, come down and get out. You need to get out.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
You out.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
So that's what happened. But here's the thing. She lied
about what happened.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
She said that she was shot at and that you know,
she was sprayed in the face with pepper spray and so.
And the problem was, there was video of this, as
you just heard the audio from it, there was actually
video of the confrontation. Nobody was shot at, nobody sprayed
her with pepper spray. So she completely and utterly lived.
And then she goes on MS and she's.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Confronted by her lie and she's like, well, it was
it was really scary.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Cut six. First of all, it's great to see you.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
I'm happy to see that you're okay.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
How are you? How are your staff doing?
Speaker 6 (08:00):
I think we're all okay. It was it was really scary,
very jarring. I mean, it's one thing to hear about
these things happening in communities. It's another thing to have
it happen directly to you. I really did go, you know,
with the assumption that I'm just trying to understand what's happening.
And so I went up, I introduced myself, I let
them know who I was. One agent said, I don't
(08:22):
care who you are, you need to get out of
the way. We were pushed, we were shot at, and
it's really scary. It was very frightening and very jarring.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Shot at. It seems like it is like.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I mean, you heard what happened. You hear anybody getting
shot there? You're shot at?
Speaker 7 (08:42):
No.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
The only thing I heard, and I hope somebody checked
on him, is the guy in the background who kept coughing.
I felt, I think he's got bronchitis, and he should
could be he should get him into something.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But I mean, so she's out there lying about what happened.
Then the video comes out and she's like, well it
was scary, okay, I get scared on, you know. And
and how dare the ICE agents say, I don't care
who you are, get out of our way. We're in
the middle of an operation. How dare he do that?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's shades of.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
That mcgiver, Lamonica mcgiver, congressman, who is just how dare
you tell me to leave? I'm a congress woman. Yeah, okay,
but that doesn't give you extra special rights. You know,
you can't interfere with law enforcement. That's basically, you know
what it comes down to. But when you have your
leaders lie like this, lie like rugs, not think anything
(09:29):
about lying, and not care when they're exposed to a lie,
then other people who are not officeholders think that it's
okay to lie too, and what the hell, maybe this
way I can make some money. So in this case,
another case you had, you're gonna hear natural sound of
an illegal alien being arrested by ice and then the car,
(09:50):
the ICE car drives away, and after the car leaves,
the illegal alien starts screaming, claiming the car ran over him.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Cut five.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
What they don't realize, what he didn't realize, is their video.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
There is video of the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
The car isn't near him, he waits, the car drives away,
and then starts screaming like you just heard the car.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Doesn't touch him.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Are you sure he wasn't shot?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
He could have, Yeah he could have been. He could
have been with the congresswoman. I mean, but it's okay
to lie because you see people like like like the
congressman Grijalva there lie. You see people like Tammy Duckworth lie,
and you know, and it's just an exposed lie and
they don't.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Care the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They just don't care.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
You know.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
It's of course we live in a different society now,
I get it. But you know, fifty years ago, sixty
years ago, whatever, pick a year, you couldn't get away. Well,
you could get away with this crap because nobody had
video of stuff, so you could say, hey, that car
hit me, and it would be like, oh my god,
that car hit him. Now it's like that car hit me. No,
(11:15):
it's like all these different people who get nabbed by
either by audio or video or being caught on ring
cameras or whatever it is. Right, Well, do people know?
Am I the only one? Maybe I'm the smart one?
Do people know that there's video and audio and everything everywhere?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
And generally everybody has a camera, right.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Everybody has one right in their pocket. But then in
addition to that, you've got ATMs on the corner, you've
got ring video, you've got body.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Worn cameras everywhere.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
So hello, listen, if you're gonna lie about being run
over by something, you're gonna need to be way out
in the woods where there's no service.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Or something run by a bear.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I got right, a bear ate me? Well, how are
you here, then well I got out again, So stop
with this. I don't understand why people think, and even
if it takes a little while, because sometimes you have
to unsort everything. But I don't know why people think
they can just blatantly tell lies and they're not gonna
get caught.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Because our leaders lie and there's no consequences, so everything's
it's acceptable not to lie. And speaking of liars, this
was I found this hysterically funny. I don't know if
you will, but Congresswoman Jasmin Crockett of Texas, who President
Trump continually calls low iq. I don't know if he's
(12:34):
right or not, but she does say some pretty bizarre things.
But she lost her congressional seat. She's still a congresswoman
until the next election because her seat was gerry mannered
out by the Texas Legislature, which means she no longer
has a job as a congresswoman. So she's decided the
best step for her is to run for statewide election,
and she's going to run for John Cornan's election. He's
the Republican running. There was another Democrat they've pulled out,
(12:57):
So she announced this week her candidacy for US Senate.
It was the most bizarre campaign kickoff I have ever seen.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And this is why.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I want to play for you the audio from her
campaign launch. This is just the audio, and this audio
played while she sat there and looked into the camera.
This is the entire launch.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
It is this sound with her picture cut seventeen. How
about this new one?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
They have their new star, Crocket.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
How about her?
Speaker 8 (13:36):
She's a new star of the Democrat boardy, Jessmine Carackett.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
They're in big trouble.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
But you have this woman, Crocket. She's a very low
IQ person.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
I watched her speak the other day.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
She's definitely a low IQ person. Crocket.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Oh man, oh man.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
She's a very low IQ person.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Somebody said the other day she's one of the leaders
of the party. I think you gotta be kidding.
Speaker 8 (14:03):
Now, are they going to rely on Crockett?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Crockett's going to bring them big oge.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So does this make any sense to you? Because this
sounded to me. This looked to me like an ad
for her opposition. It's Jasmine Crockett with the president insulting her,
calling her low IQ.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That's all it was.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
That's all that there was what look like if I
were John Cornyn that is the AD I would launch
and it is and that was her launch for her
campaign for US.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Honest, I don't know who does her planning, like who's
her campaign manager or the you know, advertising manager or
launch campaign launch manager, but they they should be launched
out of out into space. I don't understand why you
wouldn't at least. Okay, fine, you know you want to
play a cut. President Trump say'd been a jerk and
he's called me this and blah blah blah and here, fine,
(14:56):
but you gotta who are you?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
What do you what can you do for me?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
What are you knowing about for me?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Why are you running for Senate?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Her smiling into the camera with President Trump calling her
a low IQ. To be honest with you, it kind
of like it makes his point. But it's as she's
sitting there and that is her AD. Vote for me,
Jasmine Crockett. And by the way, remember something about her.
She is a off the rails progressive and that may
work in her little district. She has a very little
(15:26):
district in Texas, so she's only got to get like
ten thousand votes of people to win her district to
be a congressman. She's running for statewide office now, and
so it's a hard row, which is it's a difficult
row for progressives to get to Senate seats. They can
win congressional districts because they're small, and that's why you
see members of the squad up on Capitol Hill in
(15:47):
congressional seats, but she don't really see them in the Senate.
That's why, because you have to take the whole state
with you in order to win that Senate seat. So
this was her pitch to the not just her ten
thousand fans in her little district of of her congressional district,
which no longer exists. It is, in fact, her pitch
to the entire state of Texas. Look, President Trump thinks
(16:09):
I'm low, i Q high by the.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Way, in a state where well you've already laid it out,
but I mean they they voted for President Trump. They
love you know.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Uh well there's not a blue state.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
God o, my no. And so yeah, if that's your
pitch right out of the gate, vote for me. Donald
Trump hates me.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
What And she don't even say vote for me. She
just sits down and smiles.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Right, But that's but that's the the impression is that
she's saying vote for me because Donald Trump hates me,
which which, by the way, might actually fly in a
blue state. It should not fly at all. Oh and oh,
let's let's not let's not forget. She also has a
challenger in the Democratic Party in the primary, so she
might not even get the primary. Oh did they drop out?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Dropped out?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Probably because Donald Trump likes them.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It's a big gift the Republicans.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
And then and then there's of course Cornyn has a
Republican primary challengers too.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But so we'll see is a pretty well established senator though.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Right, we'll see what happens. But I will say this,
if on the off chance, and it would be a
way off chance that Jasmine Crockett does get the Senate
seat from Texas, uh, there's there's gonna be some fun
in Washington.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Indeed, I think Chuckle Schumer should be worried if if
Jasmine gets gets in, because the Progressives are not happy
with Chuck.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Why doesn't here's an idea. And you know, you had
Hillary Clinton who became a got elected out of New
York State. She she kind of came in and carpet
bagged depending on how you look at it, Jasmine Crockett
should move to New York State and challenge Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I think she had to live there too long, carbet
bagging to.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Get it, takes too long to carpet bag a carpet bag.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I know Bobby Kenned, he just moved to New York
and before you know he was a US senator.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, no, I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah. One of the big stories this week, national stories,
but it happened here in Debdam, Massachusetts, was a church
who put up their Nativity scene outside of the church,
but instead of Mary, Joseph, the Baby Jesus, et cetera,
they put a note in the manger saying Mom, Dad
and the Baby Jesus are inside safe because they needed
(18:27):
to be protected from ice agents.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Ice was here.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Ice was here, So, uh, what the bleep? And here
is the Uh. It's caused a huge brahaha.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
First of all, that the church is in fact politicizing
the Baby Jesus and Nativity, which is a big issue.
And the archdiocese went, what the no, stop that, now,
take the note out of there, put the family back
in the manger, and the church said, bleep you to
the archbishop This is CJ.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Doyle.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
He's the executive director of Mass Catholic Action League. On
the reverend, the priest that did this, who is Stephen
I think his name is Josoma, And he's not happy.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Cut twelve B.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
He's politicizing Christmas, he's exploiting the Holy Family. He's using
his position as the pastor of a Catholic parish to
promote his left wing politically theology.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I think that's well stated. And he had a few
more words for him. Cut twelve C.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
Is it not obstruction of justice?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
They're really pushing here.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
If he doesn't really believe in the Catholic religion or
thinks the Catholic Church is simply a vehicle for political activism,
perhaps he should find new employment.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah. I don't disagree with that. I mean, this is
not what your church is supposed to be for. But
here's the priest, Stephen Josoma, he's the Deadham parish priest.
And he says, listen, I hope all churches will follow
to cut twelve.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
This is a sense I would hope that all churches
would take I mean, we should be a welcoming community.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Okay, And then he says, you know he's gotten a
little pushback.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Twelve A.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I've got a couple of pushback from total strangers. It
was called a murderer yesterday, someone who is in need
of repentance. What we celebrate at Christmas is the piece
of Christ brought into the world. That's right here.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
It's right now, by the way. And I know you
have something else to say, yeah, but first of all,
thank god the church is doing the right thing and
saying get that politics out of there. Here's the thing
for the reverend and the church and the people who
are cheering. Is this really is the crux of it,
or for me it's part of the crux of it.
(20:39):
Is Okay, listen, you have free speech, right you, me,
the reverend, everybody in the world has free speech to
say what they feel. However, these are organizations, and I
know there's a You've got the church itself, the actual building,
the priests and the parishioners, and then you've got the
archdiocese which is a much bigger, you know, arm of
(21:01):
the church, and so on and so forth. But listen,
you get tax breaks. You are not allowed to do this.
It's not whether you know you are. You have the
freedom of speech.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
You give up your tax break, give it exactly, you
know what.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Give up your tax breaks, start paying taxes on the building,
and this and the that and and then guess what
you can say and do. Put anything you want on
your lawn as long as it's within you know, the
guidelines of the of the community. But yeah, you you
don't get to say I can say whatever I want
because it's the right thing to say. Look, maybe it is,
maybe it is, And I don't know how people feel.
I know how the reverend feels. But yeah, you want
(21:35):
to say that crap? Otherwise otherwise, otherwise give me a
tax break. Let me have freedom of speech and not
have to pay taxes. That would be fantastic. They keep hiding,
the church keeps hiding. Trust me, we won't get into
say the church hides behind the tax exempt crap and
they need to cut it out.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Well, this church does, because I need to point out,
for instance, that the Catholic Church has stood against making
political statements for a very long time ago. In fact,
I grew up with the congressman used to be in
that district when I was a little girl. Father Drynen
a Jesuit priest, and he was a good friend of
my parents, and my mother used to help him when
(22:14):
he was in when he was in residence in Washington,
and she used to help him do the entertaining.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
He had to do out of the rectory in DC.
But he and he served.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
He was a great congressman. He worked his ass off.
But the church said, you know what, I know you're
a Jesuit. I know you're highly educated. I know that
Jesuits basically are very active in their community. You cannot
be a congressman. Even though he was duly elected, you
cannot be a congressman. You have to resign because it's
just not appropriate for you as a church member to
(22:43):
be politically active as a congressman. A congressman he was.
He was overwhelmingly elected over and over again. I think
he served at once maybe too chrup before the church
caught wind of this and went yeah, no, and he
had to resign and he did. I mean, they if
anybody could have help the Catholic Church, they had their
own freaking congressman, and they said no, of course, so
(23:04):
they drew a line, and if they're not going to
let Father Drynen serve as a US congressman, where he
could help the church. They're not going to let this
guy no, basically flip the bird to the federal authorities
in the name of the Catholic Church.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
And that's what he was saying.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
This is not the church, the church itself because of
what you just said and obviously what happened even in
this case. But there are people within the church who
think that they get to have it both ways. They
get to stand behind the shield of free speech while
standing behind the shield of of of the church. This
is this is a people problem, not the church problem.
Trust me. The church has enough problems of himself. And
(23:44):
also in father Dryden's case and in this guy's case. Look,
here's the deal. You want to You got to do
one or the other. You got to either resign from
Congress or you got to resign from being a priest.
Either way exactly, either way you get to pick right.
And this guy, look again, this is back to choice right,
freedom of speech. You have all your choes here.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You have a choice.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Take the damn sign down and stop making your church political,
or you can quit the church or whatever you want
and go off and be a congressman whatever you want
to do. So, yeah, you don't get to live on
both sides of the of the river. Kid, I'm sorry
to tell you. It's just the way it is, and
it's the way it should be. Because we have enough
problems in the churches, and we have enough problems in
(24:27):
the politics. We don't need to have them intermingling, which
is why we have a separation of church and state. Now,
I'm not one who wants to outlaw saying Christmas and
all that crap, but there are guidelines and somebody's got
to follow them. Yeah, I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but
I'm with you. By the way, the problem with the problem,
here's one of the problems we run into. And of
(24:47):
course we are in a blue state, and denamis clearly
in the blue state. So you have Look, you not
only have this issue of the reverend and all this
fighting going on amongst the clerk people or whatever you got,
all the people in it that are coming to the
support of this church, which I am fine with. Look,
if you think that ice sucks and blah blah blah,
(25:10):
that's fine, but you all have to understand that just
because you have freedom of speech to say you agree
with the church, doesn't mean the church has that same
right if they're going to take the tax breaks and
be shielded from, you know, a mixture of church and state.
You can't say we loved separation of church and state,
except when we don't want separation of church and state.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
By the way, I know somebody who decided to go
to massover at that church just to scope it out,
and which I thought was interesting. And he said he
went in and all the baptismal fonts, all the holy
water fonts were covered. You couldn't they were dry, and
they were covered. And he's like, what's this And he goes, well,
you know we've had him covered.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Up because of COVID. Well COVID has been over.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
For a while yet yet they have While he was there,
he's watching everybody hug everybody. So everybody was hugging and
laughing and chatting and you know, no masking.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
And but we couldn't have holy one for like five years.
They haven't had holy.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Ones because of the drought.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
No, okay.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
So I mean it's just like it's a virtue signaling church.
They need to have their askman it to them by
the Archdioceis. Looks like that's going to happen. So I
think that that Father Josoma there is going to have
to make the choice that you have laid out so
very well.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I think that's what's coming, and I think it should.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Every week we end with a truth or troll. But
here's the thing about this week. We had something that
I haven't seen in a while, and I was just
thrilled by it, and I thought, instead of our truth
or troll we need, we're going to do a little
retro thing here abidenismidism.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
We haven't had.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Bidenism such the big switch over last January, really, and
but this is just too good to pass up. So
we'll put the truth or troll in abance for the week.
And this week we're having we're going back to one
of our Bidenisms. In this case, it's former President Joe
Biden speaking at the LGBD conference in d C. Where
he's talking about the country that we all know and
(27:07):
live in and love and he cannot get the name right.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Cut seven, We just have to get.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
Up so long as we keep the faith, someone hope,
and get back up and remember who in the hell
we are. We're the United States of America, got it, That's.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Who we are for the US, the United States of America.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Got it.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
We got to remember who we are. If only I
could remember who.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
We were, if only I could remember what the name
where am I?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I'm sorry, he almost had it. It was so close.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah yeah, And then he talks about his former press secretary,
Korean Korean Sanpierre, So it's he can't get her name.
I'm not getting her name right. But I'm not the president.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
She need to work for me. But here he is
cut seven a well.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
When I took office, I promised to have administration looked
like America. I kept my promise, and not just for
the community. My press secretary, Kareem.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
What a great basketball Kareem abdul Jabbar?
Speaker 8 (28:21):
What you know?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I mean that that black gay girl, I mean, what
the hell I mean? This was his press secretary for years.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
But then he doesn't know he lives, you know, he
thinks he lives in America. Americ got it?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
You know it was you know, Kareem put up some
good numbers against the Boston Celtics, which was tough for
a Celtics fans. Larry Bird, you know, took a whack
Adam a few times, and you know, yeah, so Kareem, Yeah, great,
job in the White House. By the way, you know
what a Kareem also was great at CO piloting a jet, yes, aplane.
So Kareem is very well versed and we appreciate all
(28:53):
of everything.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Or Jimmy whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Yeah, yes, I gotta go watch that now.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
So well, if you think I mean, I'm sorry if
you miss the truth or told but well, we'll bring
it back. But I just for this moment, I had
to go back to the Bidenism. So you can, I mean,
if you think we're being mean to President Biden, you
can tell us.
