Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, everybody, Welcome to the right side. Doug Billings here
with you. Thank you very much, indeed for watching us
from all across the Republic. I appreciate it very much.
Today Kansas still in the news, my home state, Kansas,
who and where? If we had a strong governor, this
black mass that's scheduled for March twenty eighth wouldn't be happening.
(00:21):
I'm telling you, if I were governor of Kansas, I
can lay out right now and today what I would do,
not only by the power of the executive pen, but
also constitutionally with powers that are vested to the governor.
It's ridiculous that this thing is happening. It would not
have happened in the time of the Founding Fathers. They
did not intend this. And for all of the kooks
(00:42):
out there who say, oh, no, satanic black masses are
covered by free speech and freedom of religion, no they're not. No,
they're not. The Founding Fathers had no intention of such
a thing, and the judicial brands and members of our
legislatures across this country have lost sight of the divine
providence of God and the intent of the Founding Fathers.
(01:03):
So today that's our focus getting back on track, and
I'll explain. If I were governor of the State of Kansas,
here's what I would do to shut this nonsense down.
Right away, ladies and gentlemen, The right side with Doug
Billings is now upon you. Are you ready, Hey, everybody,
my name.
Speaker 2 (01:21):

big shout out for my great friend and one of
the best in the business, mister Doug Billings. Right side

broadcasters and podcasters. He is the new Rush Limbaugh. He's
exactly what America needs right now. Looking for honesty, looking
(01:42):

Doug Billings at right side with Doug Billings. God bless you,
and God bless America, and thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Ladies and gentlemen. We are winning. We're winning, winning, winning.
Welcome to the right side with Doug Billings. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
We are not.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Liberal snowflakes who've build away in the face of transity, adversity,
and challenge. We are a covenant Nason under God and
his divine Providence is not dead and it's not gone.
It is living within each and every one of you,
and you will bring it to life in such a
way that the world has never seen before. We never
(02:21):
back down, we never give up. We march forward. And
here we are. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome again to the
right side. I appreciate you. Good to be with you.
And wow, what's going on in Kansas, my home state.
(02:46):
I've got to tell you it is. It's troublesome because
it doesn't have to be happening. It all can be avoided,
and it should be avoided. I'm going to take a
stab at explaining this, and I'm going to outline for
you some of the ways by which I if I were governor,
(03:07):
if I were governor for a day, if I were
governor at all, for a four year term, whatever, I'm
going to outline what I would do. It's not that difficult.
And if there were a strong governor in office right
now in Tapeka, Kansas, this all would not be happening.
So welcome from smack dab in the middle of the
fruited plane. Here we go. The right side with Doug
Billings is upon you. Oh, and by the way, Doug

(04:15):
twenty eighth, twenty twenty five, a week from tomorrow, ironically
the last day of the Kansas Legislature, I believe, if
I'm not mistaken, there's a group called the Satanic Grotto
that plans to hold a so called black Mass in
the in the in the capital on the grounds of
(04:39):
the Capitol in Topeka, Kansas, and it is something that
could be avoided. It is something that should be avoided
if we're if we had a strong governor, it would
be easily done. And I want to explain to you
how I, if I were lucky enough to be in
that office, how I would do it. It is something
(05:00):
that I've been thinking an awful lot about. It's something
that I think is it deserves to be discussed. And
I think I think that most people in America agree
this is ridiculous. I think that the executive pen I
(05:26):
think that the executive power, I think that the Constitution
itself allows for a wide swath of power for the governor.
And I'm going to explain what I mean here, so
let me get into it. I was just looking at
the chat box over in the room. Hey, Shanny, good
to see you. Sorry you got shut down on spaces anyway,
(05:46):
Good to have you here in the chat room. Good
to see you. Not sure I could help you with
the space's problem, but I'm going to talk to you
about what's going on with the governor in Kansas. So
March twenty eighth, a week from tomorrow, this whole thing
is scheduled to go down in Kansas. They've made it clear,
this group, the Satanic Grotto, they intend to desecrate a
consecrated Eucharistic coast from the Catholic Church, to mock the
(06:07):
sacred and dedicate our state legislature in Kansas to Satan himself.
That's what this group is intending to do. Okay, those
are the facts. The Satanic Black Grotto, that's what they
call themselves. They have stolen a consecrated Catholic post. I'm Catholic.
I in fact, you know, many of you may not
know this. I spent a couple of years in the
(06:29):
seminary studying to be a priest way back in the day.
And look, the almighty and ever powerful, all powerful, loving
God of the universe, Jesus can remove himself from a
consecrated host in these kinds of situations. So it's not
as if we have that tory about, you know. But
it's the fact that they stole it. It's theft of property.
(06:52):
I'm going to get into this today as far as
how we stop this group, How I would stop it
if I were the governor, if we're allowed to dream
a little bit here, how I would stop. So a
couple of thoughts on that the Satanic grotto their group.
They're going to mock Christianity, specifically Catholic Christianity, but every
(07:13):
Christian in the nation, and certainly every Christian in Kansas
ought to be outraged about this. And we have a
governor who's allowing this to take place when she has
the power to prevent it. Laura Kelly, she's a member
of the Commune Socialist Party. As I've been telling you,
that Democrat Party does not exist any longer. The Commune
(07:35):
Socialist Party. Well, we in Kansas have a Commune Socialist governor.
It's a real problem. That's why if I were governor,
things would be different. We also have a President of
the Senate who's a Republican who issued a statement saying
something I'm going to paraphrase it. Well, although we don't
like this, we don't like these kinds of things at all,
we're really powerless to do anything about it. It's protected
(07:58):
by free speech and freedom of religion. Ladies and gentlemen.
Neither the governor nor the President of the Senate is correct,
and they're not evidently brave enough to stand up and
talk to the people of this country, much less their
constituents in the state of Kansas, and explain how it
could be stopped. If I were governor of Kansas, I
(08:21):
wouldn't stand for it. I couldn't look the people of
Kansas in the eye for a second. I would call
up or create a militia. You're darn right. I would
call up the National Guard, secure the capital, protect the
innocent people of the state from the evils of this
satanic cult. This is Satanism is not a religion, ladies
(08:45):
and gentlemen, And I can tell you this, Our founding
fathers had no intention of allowing this kind of thing
to take place under the banner of free speech or
freedom of religion. And I know that many of you
kook liberals out there are going to be lambasting me
and yelling out loud, well, the judicial system is ruled,
and the courts have ruled. This is got I'm going
(09:07):
to tell you why that's incorrect. We have in this country,
and I admit it, we have gone off track, off
the rails with regards to the original intent of the
founding fathers, and certainly with regards to the divine providence
of God in this republic and today, I'm going to
tell you why this is not just a gut reaction.
(09:30):
It's a principled stand that's rooted in the Constitution, rooted
in the law, and in the moral foundation of our republic.
And you won't see very many politicians, certainly not from
the establishment swamp, say anything remotely similar to what I'm
(09:52):
going to be telling you today. Let's start with the facts,
all right. The Satanic Grotto, it's led by a guy
named Michael Stewart, and he's been very vocal about what
their plans are on March twenty eighth. And it isn't
some quiet protest or a free speech rally. They're promising
(10:12):
a four part ritual, blasphemous, provocative, and by their own admission,
designed to express what they call hurt and anger over
what they call religious oppression. They're targeting the Kansas Legislature,
which is in both houses in Kansas, the Senate and
(10:34):
the House are Republican. We have a supermajority Republican. And
you have to almost put that in quotes, because not
all of them matt like Republicans, but it's on paper
it's a supermajority. They're targeting the Kansas legislature because and
to their credit, the Kansas Legislature supports pro life policies.
(10:55):
Claiming in the Satanic Grotto, claims that the legislature is
pandering to groups like Kansas Catholic Conference. And here's the kicker.
There's evidence for all of this, sworn testimony, ladies and
gentlemen in a lawsuit filed by the Archdiocese of Kansas
(11:17):
City and Kansas and that they've stolen a consecrated host
to desecrate during the event. That's not just offensive, it's
a crime, ladies and gentlemen. In the Catholic tradition of
Christianity started by Jesus, Jesus said during the Last Supper,
this is my body, this is my blood. Catholics believe
(11:38):
that the real presence of Jesus Christ is there in
the Eucharist and the Satanic Grotto. Michael Stewart stole a
consecrated Eucharist. Now Governor Laura Kelly a commune socialist. Remember
the Democratic Party no longer exists anymore. They have combined
communism and socialism together. They are the Commune Socialist. They
(12:00):
are not a pro America political party. Again. Something else
that politicians need to be saying out loud and often
she's not happy about the event. Now, to her credit,
she doesn't want this to all be happening. She calls
it distasteful. Oh, this is very distasteful, But she's hiding
behind the First Amendment, claiming that her hands are tied.
(12:25):
Now she's moved to the event. It originally was scheduled
to be inside the Capitol, which is clearly outrageous, but
she's moved it outside. But she's still letting it happen
on the Capitol grounds with all due respect to the governor.
That's a cop out, a one cop out. And Senate
President Ty Masterson, a Republican, also copped out and didn't
(12:50):
put up a fight with regards to any of this.
He claimed that was all covered by the First Amendment.
I mean, and I think that Ty Masterson is actually
after this legislative setes ends, is planning on announcing his
run for the governorship of the state of Kansas. We
don't need a governor like that who doesn't speak up
about things like this. If I were in the governor's office,
it would be a different approach. One honors the Constitution
(13:14):
of Kansas and of the United States, and we have
actions that are codified in both of those documents that
we can take. We can take action that is constitutionally
based from a federal level and a state level while
protecting the people of Kansas. All right, let's talk about
the Constitution first, because that's the bedrock of all of this.
(13:36):
And I prefer to focus on the Kansas Constitution because
that's the document that really controls this entire situation. But
I'm also going to blend my opinion, my analysis, my
commentary today on what the Federal Constitution says as well,
especially the intent of the founding fathers. The First Amendment
guarantees free speech and the free exercise of religion, Ladies
(14:00):
and gentlemen, It is not a blank check. The Supreme
Court has long held that there are limits to this.
You can't yell and you've all heard it a million times.
You can't yell fire in a crowded theater, just as
Oliver Wendell Holmes famously put it in the case Shanek
versus the United States way back in nineteen nineteen. That's
(14:22):
when he said that, And you can't incite imminent violence.
Per the ruling that was rendered in Brandenburg versus Ohio
in nineteen sixty nine. And you sure as heck don't
get a free pass to commit crimes under the guise
of expression. Here's what, here's where the rubber meets the road, folks.
(14:46):
And this is a good thing. And I like Chris
Coba a lot, the Kansas Attorney General. He's doing one
hell of a good job in that role. He pointed
out rightly. So that stealing a consecrated host, which is
property of the cas Click Church, could constitute theft by deception,
which is a crime under Kansas law. The Satanic Grotto's
(15:09):
stated intent to destroy it, which they've publicly said, well
that's another crime, destruction of property. So there are real
crimes to go after here. The First Amendment doesn't protect
criminal acts period. So if I were governor, I'd direct
(15:29):
law enforcement, the Kansas Highway Patrol at the Kansas Bureau
of Investigation to investigate these allegations immediately, and if they
hold up, if they hold up, this isn't a peaceful
protest or some sort of peaceful gathering. It's a crime scene.
(15:50):
It's a crime scene waiting to happen, and I would
shut it down before it starts. Let's go a little
bit deeper. Come on with me. Even if no theft occurred,
we'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Stuart denies
it for what it's worth. He does claim he's got
this host and he stole it. If no theft occurred,
(16:12):
the ritual crosses that line still that no decent society
should tolerate this on public grounds. The state isn't obligated
to facilitate every act of provocation just because someone slaps
free speech, you know, they label it as free speech
(16:34):
on it. The capital is not some sort of a
public sandbox, my friends. It's the seat of our government.
It's a symbol of our shared values and shared laws.
Allowing a group to mock the beliefs of millions of
people in the country, and hundreds of thousands of people
(16:58):
in Kansas. In Kansas, four hundred and twenty six thousand
Catholics in the state, and every Christian in the state
in the country, not just Catholic Christians, but every Christian
should be outraged about this. They're going to hold this
event while at the same time I'm talking about the
(17:19):
Satanic grotto and what their plan is to dedicate our
legislature in Kansas to Satan. That is not neutral governance.
It's a surrender to chaos. And that's exactly what the
governor and the President of the Senate have done. They've
surrendered to the chaos. And that is the motto one
(17:43):
of the three pillars of this commune socialist, radical liberal
movement in America Chaos, crisis, and crime. Let's see how
much of it we can perpetuate across this land. Look
at everything they've done, especially during the Biden years, crisis, chaos, crime.
Now some are going to say, right away, hang on
(18:04):
there a minute, Doug, what about their rights? Don't they
get to speak up? I mean, this is America, after all. Sure, yeah,
they've got rights on their own dime, on their own property,
but the state doesn't have to hand them a megaphone
or a microphone or a stage. Folks. The Supreme Court
(18:28):
has ruled on this very issue in Church of Leukemi
Babulu versus the City of Halia. I think I pronounced
that right. The Church of Leukemi Babulu I versus the
City of Halaliah. This is all in nineteen ninety three.
I assume that's in Hawaii. But all research that even further.
But this is just as recently as nineteen ninety three,
(18:50):
the justices of the Supreme Court made it clear that
governments can regulate conduct that violates general laws like theft
or public safety risks without infringing on religious freedom. And
in a case called Pleasant Grove City versus Sumum in
(19:12):
two thousand and nine, even more recently, the Court said
the Supreme Court said that public property isn't an open
forum for every message. The state gets to decide what's
appropriate on its own turf. Let me read that to
(19:32):
you again. The state gets to determine what's appropriate on
its own turf, and the Kansas Constitution gives the governor
plenty of legal standing to disallow and take action to
prevent these kinds of gatherings. If if I were governor
(19:55):
of Kansas, ladies and gentlemen, I would argue that this
black mass isn't just free speech. It's a deliberate act
of aggression against the public order. It's designed to provoke
and disrupt and defend on the last day of the
legislative session. No, less, that's not a coincidence. It's calculated.
(20:19):
It's a calculated job at lawmakers and at citizens alike.
It's a job at all of the lawmakers in that
body of government in the state of Kansas. And I
am just beside myself that no one seems to be
standing up publicly to say what I'm saying to you
right now. And when you've got Catholic groups planning to
(20:39):
counter protest, the risks of confrontation skyrocket. I'm not waiting.
If I'm governor, I'm not waiting for a riot to
break out on the capital steps. I'd create a state militia.
I'd call up the Kansas National Guard to secure the perimeter,
in force the law and keep the peace. And let's
(21:05):
talk about the militia and National Guard piece here just
for a minute, because that's where my approach has its teeth.
The Kansas Constitution, specifically, in Article eight, Section one, says
that the militia consists of all or could consist of
all able bodied men between the ages of twenty one
and forty five, subject to the governor's call. The National
(21:29):
Guard under the Kansas Statute forty eight five oh one
is at my disposal as governor to repel invasion or
to suppress insurrection. Now, I'm not saying that this is
an evay in invasion based on a military sense of
that word or that phrase. But it is an assault
(21:53):
on the moral and the legal order of the State
of Kansas and its people. And as governor, my first
duty would be to protect the people, not just their bodies,
but their rights, their peace, their way of life. Why
aren't Republicans saying this, I mean picture this. March twenty
(22:16):
eighth rolls around the Satanic Grotto, shows up, and they're
ready to defy the governor's order to stay outside. They
try to march into the capitol. As Michael Stewart said himself,
he threatened it, and he called it civil disobedience. We
may just enter the capitol, okay. Meanwhile, thousands of Catholics
(22:39):
and other God fearing Kansas Christians are rallying nearby, praying
for reparation, praying for peace, but tensions boil over without
a strong presence. You've got a powder keg there. But
with the guard and the militia deployed State troopers as well, calmly,
(23:01):
professionally but firmly deployed, I would ensure that no one
crosses that line. No theft, no desecration, no crisis, no chaos,
no crime, the law holds. That's what I would do,
(23:23):
and that's my approach. Now, again, the kuks, the rhinos,
and the liberals, especially the liberals, I would like to
think that most reasonably thinking Republicans are all on board
with this. Clearly, we can't argue with what I'm saying
as Republicans. But there would be some kuks, especially on
the liberal side, crying out overreach billings. That's an overreach.
(23:47):
They'd say, I'm trampling on rights. But look, ladies and gentlemen,
the Constitution is not a suicide pact. As Justice Robert
Jackson wrote in a case called Termininelio versus Chicago back
in nineteen forty nine, he said, the choice is not
between order and liberty. It's between liberty with order and
(24:13):
anarchy without either. Let me say that again. It's a
good quote. You should remember it. The choice is not
between order and liberty. It's between liberty with order and
anarchy without either. I'd choose liberty with order every time,
(24:36):
ladies and gentlemen, and so would most of you. Within
a shred of intellectual maturity. That's the conclusion we would
all draw together. The Satanic grotto can scream their blasphemy
from a street corner or from a private lot, from
their own building. They've got that right, but they don't.
(24:56):
They don't get to hijack the people's house in the
state of Kansas. Okay, that was the zoom in. Let's
zoom out for a minute. Let's take a broader look.
Why does this matter so much? Kansas, ladies and gentlemen.
Isn't just flyover country. I can tell you it's the
heart of America, the heart of America geographically and morally.
(25:24):
We're a state built on hard work, on faith in God,
in Jesus, in common sense. When a group like this
Satanic grotto targets our capital, they're not just attacking Christians
and Catholics. They're spitting on the values that hold us together,
(25:46):
trampling on the true intent of our founding fathers. And
if we let this slide, then what's next? Seriously, public sacrifices, blood, rituals.
I mean, where is the line going to be drawn?
There won't be one if we're not careful. I'm not
here to play the morality police. Please, I don't care
(26:10):
what these folks believe in in their private lives. And
I don't care what they say in their own private buildings,
But when they bring it to the capital, when they
steal sacred property and they threaten to desecrate it, they've
crossed into the public square when they do that, And
that's my jurisdiction if I'm the governor. The founding fathers
(26:34):
didn't write the Constitution to protect lawlessness or to turn
our institutions into playgrounds for provocateurs. They wrote the Constitution,
inspired by God, to secure the blessings of liberty, and
(26:55):
that includes the right of Kansons to live free from
this kind of deliberate insult. Quite frankly. Furthermore, and consider this,
our rights come to us from God. God and our
founding fathers did not intend to grant rights to worship Satan.
(27:20):
That is a topic of free will, not of rights
that come to us from God. The topic of free will,
and all of this stuff can be expressed and covered
in private outside of the Capitol grounds. So what would
I do to stop this? Step by step you ask
(27:40):
step number one? Specifically, I would issue an executive order
banning the event on Capitol grounds outright, citing that we
have credible allegations of criminal activity and a threat to
public order. Secondly, I would direct the Kansas Highway Patrol
and other law investigation agency at my disposal to investigate
(28:02):
these theft crimes, order subpoenas, get witnesses, the works. I
would order all of it. Third, I'd activate the National
Guard and create a militia, positioning them around the capital.
On March twenty eighth, early in the morning, probably at midnight,
they would begin organizing and assembling to enforce civil law,
(28:28):
to enforce the ban that I've just rejected by virtue
of my executive order, and to deter any of this
quote civil disobedience that the group president says he's going
to stir up. Fourth, I would address the state of
Kansas live on television, and I would explain why this
(28:48):
is not about censorship, it's about the law, it's about safety,
it's about decency. I would get in front of the people,
and yeah, there'd be pushback. Don't think that I don't
know that. The whack job groups like the ACLU would sue.
The Satanic Grotto would scream and threaten to do the
(29:11):
same thing. The legacy media would call me a tyrant
and a dictator. And I want to be King a
mini Trump. You know all of that. But I'd stand
my ground because I have the constitution, I have the
intent of the founders, I have the law, and I
have the people of Kansas on my side. And when
(29:34):
the dust settles, ladies and gentlemen, we would have a precedent.
Kansas doesn't bend the knee for every loud mouth with
a grudge. Folks, this isn't just about one ritual. It's
about who we are as a state. It's about who
(29:57):
we are as a nation. If I were honor, I'd
fight for Kansas. Not with misunderstanding of what we can
do and what we can't, and not being afraid to
speak out loud because I might be canceled, but with
an innate belief in the divine providence of God. That's
(30:18):
where I come from, and the intent of the state
and the intent of the republic as designed by our
founding fathers. The militia and the guard aren't there to
intimidate people. They're there to protect people. And the ban
isn't about silencing. It's about upholding law and order, which,
(30:42):
of course, the radical liberal movement in America wants to
discard and defund. Remember crisis crime and chaos, and this
stand that I'm taking is not about me. It is
about us, and someone, perhaps me, needs to say it
louder and more clearly. That's where I'm coming from, and
(31:06):
that's where I hope you stand with me. Shoulders and shoulder,
especially those of you who live in Kansas, and let
me know what you think. Ladies and gentlemen. Please hit
me up on X on YouTube, on Facebook, on truth social,
wherever you find me and follow me. Subscribe to me
over on YouTube. I just started rebuilding the channel over there.
Go to Doug Billings dot us and please prayerfully consider
(31:27):
that five dollars a month subscription set it up. It's
real simple recurring donation. Look, we are in this thing together,
and this is how It's how I make a living.
It's how I tell the truth, and it's how I
try to express to you what other people, especially those
in the elected class, don't have the guts to talk
to you about. And it really is what I would
do if I were governor, and maybe that day is
(31:49):
closer than we may think. We'll see. If you like
what you hear, I appreciate you share. Please share this show.
When I posted out I appreciate you very much. Dies
and gentlemen, you know that I do. We're in this
thing together. Believe it, my friends, for the Republic, for Kansas. Cheers.
