Speaker 2 (00:14):
Markowski Religion America, and Charles Manson Last night. Last night,
my daughter came home for dinner and we're having a
discussion at the dinner table, and she said something and
I raised my voice. I got a little upset with her.

(00:37):
She actually said, I really I can't stand I hate
these crazy liberals. I was talking about what's taking place
on social media right now. Actually you're seeing some things
that are off the deep end. Calls on killing men,

(00:59):
going back to some Sicilian woman who used to poison,
help women poison their husbands when they were abused. It's
it's it's all over the place. What's this movement right
now where all these women are shaving their head and
protest and blue bands and all this other stuff. It's

(01:20):
where Charlie Manson comes in. This is this is a religion.
It's a messed up it is a screwed up religion.
But man, I mean, we've seen this, this type of
behavior before. Does it creep me out? Yeah? Yeah, you

(01:42):
watch that film Once upon a Time in Hollywood, the
Tarantino film with the the hippies there, the Charles Manson hippies. Creepy.
This is It's creepy without a doubt. They have formed
their own religion, they have their own morality. John Adams

(02:10):
John Adams wrote in a letter to the Massachusetts Militia
in this in October seventeen ninety eight, said our Constitution
was made only for a moral and religious people. It
is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. And

(02:31):
this is from the John Adams Academy. Morality and virtue
are the foundation of a republican necessary for a society
to be free. I'm gonna say that again. Morality and
virtue are the foundation of our republic and necessary for
a society to be free. Why do you think that is?

(02:55):
Why do you think that is? See our constitution America
with a limited government, which is what the founders wanted.
They knew if you're going to have limited government, well
then people are going to need to police themselves. And

(03:17):
what better way to police oneself than fear of God.
Fear of God and following God's laws, God's rules. Make
no bones about it. Okay, I'm sure that they're atheists.

(03:40):
Whatever it may be. Listening to this program. This country
was founded on Judeo Christian beliefs. Period the end, Charlie
Kirk actually talked a little bit about this, and you
take a look at the original the constitutions for the
state that this is Judeo Christian beliefs. It is underlying

(04:08):
everything that this country is about in the same way
that Tolkien had Christianity is a basis of Lord of
the Rings. Okay, it's the same thing. The same thing
applies here. Where did common law come from? It's all
from the Bible. More from the John Adams Academy. Virtue

(04:34):
is an intercommitment in voluntary outward obedience to principles of
truth and moral law. Private virtue is the character to
govern oneself according to moral law at all times. Public
virtue is the character to voluntarily sacrifice to subjugate personal
wants for the greater good of other individuals or the community.

(04:56):
Specific moral virtues include charity, justice, curriage, temperance, reverence, prudence,
and honesty. These virtues are the moral fiber and moving
forward to act in accordance with wisdom, any issue with this, no,

(05:16):
no me, neither me neither. Back to my daughter again,
I had a conversation with her. You got a little
bit heated at the table, and I'm trying to explain
to her that as off putting and I'm putting it gently,

(05:41):
as disgusting the conduct, as awful as these people are.
You know, we're taught, we're taught in my faith that again,
you are supposed to feel sorry for people like this.
You're so supposed to pray for people like this. You know,

(06:05):
Father Mike schmidtz big fan of his. He does the
Bible in a Year podcast. He does a lot online
as well, and he always he talks about mother Teresa
and says, you know, we've got to come to the
realization that we all belong to one another. And from
time to time again I'll talk about these things here

(06:26):
on the podcast, on the show, and I get an
interesting reaction from listeners, you know, in particularly again when
when the Hunter Biden stuff was taking place, and everybody's
jumping up and down, and you know, you know, string
Hunter Biden up all these things, and I said, well,
you know, I looked at Hunter Biden as a tragic

(06:49):
character based upon what happened to him. And you know,
again there's somebody that needs prayers. I've been after Donald
Trump back in twenty twenty in the debate. It's Joe Biden,
you know, going after his son and for his uh,
you know, peccadillos, which is, you know, a word that
I'm using lightly there. It's obviously much worse than that.

(07:11):
But that's that's not the way you handle these types
of things. The initiative, your instant reaction, you know, to
get angry, to be thrown off, to ridicule, to make
fun of what these people are doing online and how
they're acting. I get it. I'm just as human as

(07:34):
an ex person. Okay, I get disgusted as well. And
you know what their conduct, in my opinion, downright evil.
It discuss me too. But again, we need in some way, shape,

(07:54):
matter of form, maybe to flip the narrative to some
degree in regards to go about handling these people. Oh again,
you know, they frighten me. They frighten me just as
scary as the hippies, Charles Manson's hippies. They're frightening, no
doubt about it. Okay, And I most certainly keep my

(08:16):
eye on them. But again we have to we have
to look at who we are as a people, what
we were founded on, and the direction you want to
go in, because in many ways we have lost our
way here in this country, from the things that are

(08:38):
available to everyone online to how people take well, take
the free market, take capitalism, and turn into something that isn't.
And again these are people that obviously don't have any

(08:59):
sort of moral grounding. I always get a kick, you know,
to left us out there. I left us out. Ah,
Jesus was a socialist. No he wasn't. No, he wasn't.
You know, capitalism, which is again it's a small government,

(09:21):
free markets. You know, people oftentimes they associate it with oh,
unfettered and red and all. No, no, no. Capitalism is
again two parties sitting down doing business one another, both
walking away happy. I I tried to explain this on

(09:46):
the show. I'll probably get into it in greater detail
this week, and I've done it before on the radio
show and ownership and capitalism and rich Americans and people
trying to I've suggested two people that you need to
look at your stuff. You need to look at the

(10:08):
things that you acquires stuff that you don't own, but
stuff that you're basically being a good steward. You're being
a good steward over what has been provided to you
and what you can provide to the next generation generations
down the line, the community at large. You're not taking

(10:30):
it with you. None of us are taking anything with us.
And again, these are again Judeo Christian principles. This is
what we're supporting. This is what we should be about
here in America. The the unhinged people that again it's

(10:54):
it's oh, it is it's a crazy they've they basically
come up with their own religion and for crying out loud,
it's not who we are now. Again, people will also
point they'll take a look at the First Amendment of
the Constitution. Direct Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or

(11:19):
abridging the freedom of speech or the press, or the
right of the people to piece of the assemble and
to petition the Government for our redress of grievances. Okay,
an establishment of religion, it's not freedom of its establishing
of religioning or the free exercise of I don't think

(11:40):
quite fine. I don't think the founders anticipated where we
are today. I don't. I think they kind of said, okay,
this is Judeo Christian country goes without saying take a
look at their writings throughout the ages. That's exactly what
they laid out, these little pockets of made up religions,

(12:03):
helter skelter, Charlie Manson type stuff. It's rearing, it's it's
ugly head again. How do we handle it again? It
might belief, do prayer and kindness, doing your best to

(12:24):
understand as different. I get it. It's difficult as it
could be. I see this stuff online. I do, I do.
But you know what I also don't like as well
as you know people out there, you know, doing end
zone dances and spike into football. Send me your best
threads of liberals losing their minds online, and I get it.

(12:45):
It's like watching a car crash. I understand that. But again,
what I see when I watch these things is again
is empathy. I feel horrible for these people. I don't
know why, but I do. They're lost. These are people

(13:06):
that are truly and utterly lost and miserable, and they
again I don't know what we need to do to
help them find their way. But again, what would John
Adams say? What would John Adams? What would our founders
say about this? I don't know. They never really had
to deal with anything like this, but they did have.

(13:27):
We do have a roadmap again, our Judeo Christian founding.
That's who we are and we can't run away from that.
You see it all the time, to see it in
the news, and people run Stop running away from who
we are. Truly, you want to make America great again.

(13:51):
That's that's the direction. Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com
