you're going to be looking for an icon that has well,
it's black and blue and has lightning both on the

(01:28):
left hand side has radiophone on the right hand side.
That's when you want to click on. If you see
any others, that's not the one. Just the heads up
there loads as always, as always, to get into our
national debt before we get into all the DC stuff.
We'll get into that and what the Constitution says, and
but the founders intended and all that about the District

(01:49):
of Columbia. Our national debt reached a milestone in the
past twenty four hours. Yeah, we are at seven well
now a little bit over seven thirty seven trillion dollars
thirty seven trillion. Let that soak thirty seven trillion dollars

(02:13):
in debt our federal government, federal debt. That's not the headline.
The headline is, oh my gosh, the Orange man is
uh being a dictator and is overtaking the District of Columbia.
That's the headline. You see. There's always a shiny object
to distract you from the mainstream media. To me, the

(02:33):
bigger news is that not what's going on in DC.
We're gonna get into it, though, We're gonna we're gonna
flash it all out because there's a lot of hysteria,
and there's a lot of misinformation, but we're gonna flesh
it all out and get into what the constitution says
and what our founders intended on, what they why they
even establish this thing called District of Columbia, this this area,
this town, or what are you gonna call it? But

(02:55):
thirty seven tree and bucks in debt that is mind
boggling and still climbing as I speak. And no real
world solution long term anyway. In some short term band aids.
I think these teriffts might help, and some other things
may help, but I have yet to hear any real

(03:19):
world solutions on bringing this thing back, in other words,
making that dead clock go the other direction from anybody
from either major party. It is the one thousand pound
gorilla in the room that nobody wants to once really
tackle or take on. That's going to have to happen someday.

(03:44):
This caid just keep going on into infinity, and this
thing is a time bomb that will eventually cave in
our economy if we don't get a handle on it.
That's a guaranteed fact. If we don't figure out some
way to real world deal with the thing. And PDQ

(04:07):
and this is something that we're passing on sadly as
a legacy to our children, grandchildren, and possibly great grandchildren.
They will curse us for it. It is one of
the biggest threats to our national security. It is one
of the biggest threats to us economically. Is a nation.
Forget the stuff that China is pulling and other people

(04:29):
are pulling around the country, around the world. Economically, this
is a bigger problem. This has potentially the ability to
do more destruction to us economically and as a nation
than any possible nuke that Iran or somebody might have
out there that they might or North Korea might want

(04:51):
a law about us. Really, all they got to do
is just sit back and watch this thing implode. Eventually,
it will happen sooner or later. I think a lot
of politicians are hoping well later when they're out of
office and nobody will care. And that may be when
it happens. It could be a few years down the road,
but it could be quicker than that. It's dangerous and

(05:12):
this is a game that's been played too long. Of course,
we keep raising these so called debt ceiling, which is
not a debt ceiling. It is a dead suggestion. Both
parties have their fingerprints on this. Republicans can't blame the Democrats.
They'll try. The Democrats can't blame the Republicans. They'll try.
They'll say, well, it's Republican tax gods. The Republicans will say, well,

(05:33):
it's Democrat tax hikes. And arguably it's probably a little
of both. But this is something that just cannot go
on for infinity. It's got to be dealt with. But
it's not a headline. It's not much of a headline.
I searched all sorts of sights part of this show,

(05:58):
all sorts of sights. I'm not going to say which
side it was, but I found it way tucked down
at the bottom of a pretty big site, pretty big
news organization, tucked way down at the bottom. I mean,
a bunch of other headlines way above it, and this
was way down to the bottom, way way down there. Well,

(06:19):
it's just not as sexy as the other stuff to
talk about, and we're going to get into that stuff,
but I want to share that with you. This is
a milestone, not a good one, and I'm sure that
here in several more months, it'll be thirty eight trillion

(06:39):
if we keep going the way we're going, and I
don't see why we won't. And again with no real
world idea on how from anybody on really what to
do about it or how to deal with it, so
you know, it'll just continue on and on and it
won't make very many headlines, and people will try to
ignore it. I don't even hear a lot of the economists,

(07:04):
you know, a few years back, that's all economists. We're
talking about almost a lot of politicians as well. In fact,
there were some politicians you'd go to their website and
you'd see the deck clock there. There was no man.
Not so much, not so much. It's something that it's

(07:24):
something that's going to need to be dealt with sooner
than later. Sooner than later gotta be dealt with. It's
something that we cannot continue to ignore add nauseam ad infinitum,
although we'll try again. Because it's just not sexy. The
mainstinct media won't cover much politicians. You know, they got

(07:46):
bigger grenades to throw at each other, and it's just
not uh, it's just not priority. Well, like I said,
it's just not all that sexy. Just didn't grab that much.
It doesn't have some headline, but not much, not much,
so I don't expect too much fanfare about it. There

(08:09):
hasn't been. I've been looking at websites, news sites, I mean,
major guys and smaller guys in between guys, and just
just not much there. It's kind of like, yeah, you
know so so oh well, no biggie, no big deal,
moving on, moving on, bigger stuff to talk about. Okay, anyway,

(08:34):
I just want to talk about it on this show,
for sure. I've talked about it in the past, but
here we are. If if we don't get a handle
on it, the consequences are going to be pretty bad,
pretty devastating. That's a guarantee. That's a guarantee. You don't
have to be an economist, have some degrees hanging at

(08:55):
your back pockets and economics from various universities to know
when any nation on the planet or in history has
every accumulated this kind of monstrous debt and refuses to
really deal with it. It's always bad news. It never
works out well historically, never has, never will and to

(09:17):
simply ignore it is not is not a solution either,
not not a long term working solution. So we'll see
what happens. We'll see what happens. I think the Orange
Man is hoping that maybe some of these tariffs will
help whittle it down. Perhaps, but boy got a long

(09:38):
way to go, a long way to go, and and
is it And some people are thinking, well, the thing
maybe past the point of no return. Well where where
it's it's just it's it's inevitable. It's like looking at
the weather map and seeing this big hurricane headed towards
where you're you're at and going, well, it's going to

(09:59):
hit and there's really, you know, the way to stop it,
so brace yourself. And some people have taken that tact
about it too, and I kind of get that. I
mean it, you know, you know, as the train left
the station, to really do much about it at this
point other than brace for impact. Maybe maybe I don't know,

(10:19):
but it's going to It is impacting us, and it
will and it is going to impact us in a
very terrible way if we don't do something about it,
and I mean pretty darn soon. And again, I'm just
not hearing a lot from very many politicians or oh
they'll they'll give a little lips over us once in
a while when it suits whatever narrative they're pushing, but

(10:40):
the proof is in the pudding. What is anybody doing
about it? I mean, it's it's real world in concrete
that can really roll the thing back. What is anybody
doing about it? Because what's so scary about the math
is you've really got to make some massive, deep cuts
to our federal spending, or you've got to really cap
it let me really cap it out. Maybe have some

(11:03):
kind of constitutional amendment to where you know, you can't
spend more than you bring in. There's got to be
some pretty drastic measures taken that are not going to
be popular with anybody in any party at any time,
politically or otherwise. So is anybody going to have the
intestinal fortitude, any politicos out there have the intestinal fortitude

(11:27):
to go ahead and just bite the bullet and say, yeah,
I might I might lose my next election, but here's
what we need to do, and here's what I'm going
to do. I just don't think that exists with very
many folks, at least not enough of them to make
a difference at this point in time. So we'll have
to see. But there's that there's that bit of good news,

(11:49):
not meaning to bring you down, but just trying to
maybe sober you up as to what you need to
be looking at. And some of the shiny objects that
you that's okay to glance at those, but understand why
they're in front of you, because there's some bigger things
over here, and they really don't want you to look
at that, especially the mainstake propaganda media. They really don't
want you look at it. Looking at that big uh,

(12:11):
that big giant debt bubble, that debt bomb that's sitting
over there, you know, just ticking ready to explode. They
don't want you to look at that. And I look
over here, look over here at these other objects. Yeah,
that's what we want you to do. We'll get back.
Let's look at the constitution as to why we have

(12:33):
a district of Columbia, what our finding fathers intended with
that district of Columbia, and what it's supposed to be
and not supposed to be. That a lot more is

Hi, I'm Dannyilong. You may know me as an actor,
but one of the things that I'm most proud of
is my service to this country and the Army. I
saw firsthand how training and discipline is still a values
that create great leadership abilities and a can do spirit.
Those same strong values stay with service members when they
returned to civilian life and entered the workplace.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
So there, now here's your host, Richie El. So the
nineteen seventy three Home Rule Act has been evoked by

(14:45):
the President that that was an act that came about
in nineteen seventy three. It's about one hundred and I
think seventeen pages, nineteen pages something like that. Glanced at it,
it's a lot to read. But one of the things
that's in there, one of the provisions that's in there,

(15:05):
and you could argue that to some extent, that says
Congress sloughing off its duties as they continually do year
after year, a decade after decade. Pretty much they're just
going to be up there playing golf and chasing their
secretaries around. But they do that anyway. But that's about
all we'll be paying them to do if they keep

(15:25):
on this trend line that they've been on for well
over one hundred years. Anyway. So in the Home Rule Act,
and you can go look this up yourself. You can
just go Google it and look at it and download it,
and it's a lot. But in this Home Rule Act,
there is a little bit of a of a provision

(15:48):
in there in certain circumstances for the president, because ultimately
it's Congress that controls the District of Columbia. Now that's
what the Constitution says, and we're going to get to
that just a bit. In fact, I got some stuff
opened on that we'll get into here just a second.
But in certain situations, when there's like an emergency situation,

(16:09):
something crazy going on, the District of Columbia, blah blah blah.
The nineteen seventy three Home Rule Act, which allowed also
for the District of Columbia to have a you a
full functioning mayor full functioning more or less like a
city council, full functioning police force. You know, kind of
put all that in put all that in stone form,

(16:31):
I guess you could say, to a certain extent. Down
nineteen sixty seven, under the under the Johnson presidency, they
were allowed to have three electoral College votes, not as
a state, because they're not a state. They're not a

(16:52):
fifty first down. So there's a big movement out there
to make them fifty first state. That would be unconstitutional.
Largely some people were saying, wow, you'd have to do
with consciustal mement. Yeah, we pretty much got a gut
a certain portion of the Constitution and throw out the
whole reason why our founders establish the thing to begin with.
And then you open up a whole nother ball of wax.

(17:12):
I've said for too long that the District of Columbia
is too small to be a state and too large
to be an insane asylum. But this Home Rule Act
of but nineteen seventy three, there's a little section that
that allows for the president too temporarily. It's a temporary thing,
and then Congress has got to make it. I mean,
if Congress wants to make it a little more not

(17:33):
necessarily permanent, but kind of keep it going, then they
have to vote on that. But the president has arguably
a thirty day window to federalize the cops there, in
other words, to put in the National Guard, which he's done,
and take some things over, take the reins from the

(17:53):
local city, and deal with what needs to be dealt with. Right,
And there is a crime problem there now. Yes, it's
improved some in a couple of years. But we're gonna
get into those statistics as well. I'm we'll show you
some statistics from twenty twenty four. The statistics for twenty
twenty five aren't together yet because it's still twenty twenty five,
although as of you hearing this broadcast as I'm live

(18:16):
on Wednesday, might be listening to it later Wednesday night
or Thursday or Friday, whenever you're listing as of Wednesday
afternoon the hundredth murder, and that may have changed, I
mean since I just last looked about two hours ago
with the about the one hundredth of murder took place
in the District of Columbia, Okay, for the year twenty
twenty five. But we'll look at some twenty twenty four stats,
which is, you know, those are the completed stats, because

(18:36):
it's still twenty twenty five. How compares to some other countries.
And by the way, I'm going to use the mainstinct
media's own stats on this. I'm gonna use their own
their own stuff, presuming that for once in their life
they're correct on something. All right, So let's look at
the Constitution and what it says. Now, technically, the District
of Columbia is basically federal property. I mean, if you

(18:57):
just want to get technical about it. Article on Section
eight Claws seventeen. Article one, Section eight Claus seventeen, Congress
will have power to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases
whatsoever over such district, meaning the future District of Columbia
not exceeding ten miles square, as as may by secession
of particular states, which they did Virginia and Maryland, and

(19:21):
the acceptance of Congress, which they did, become the seat
of government of the United States, And to exercise like
authority over all places purchased by consent of the legislature
of the state, in which the same shall be for
the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings,

(19:41):
and other capitol building in the White House blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, so you get the picture. Now,
the Constitution now lines that the District of Columbia, DC
is a federal district. It is not a state. It
is established as the seat of US government to get
Article one, Section eight Claus seventeen grants Congress exclusive legislation
power over the district, meaning ultimately that Congress has the

(20:03):
ultimate afar ta over its laws and governance, not even
the president ultimately Congress when Saul said and done. While
the twenty third Amendment allows to dec residents to vote
in presidential elections again, but ultimately, you know, they got
the three Electric College votes. It is not grant them
statehood or full representation in Congress. They do have a representative,

(20:28):
but they can't hardly vote anything. Okay, Now, the Constitution,
and here's a little bit more of a breakdown, federal district.
The Constitution specifies that the nation's capital should be a
district under the exclusive total of Congress, not part of
any state. Referring back to Article one, Section eighty, Laws seventeen.
This clause grants Congress of power to exercise this exclusive legislation.

(20:49):
And the Convention was moved because here's here's what happened.
Here's here's what the historistic behind the district of Columbian.
While they did this, put it in the in the
Constitution right now, the regular Convention or the Congress was
moved to provide for the creation of a site in
which to locate the capital of the nation, completely removed

(21:09):
from the control of any state. Now, they did this
in part because of humiliation suffered by the Convent of
Congress in June twenty one, seventeen eighty three. This is
towards pretty much the end of the war, where some
eighty soldiers, unpaid and weary, marched on the Congress sitting
in Philadelphia, physically threatened and verbally abused the members and

(21:30):
caused the Congress to flee the city. And that was
on June twenty first, on January sixth, okay, and this
was soldiers that did it, who were tired and weary
and hunger and hadn't been paid in forever. They're like, okay,
you know, when do we get our check? So they
physically threatened and verbally abused the members and caused Congress

(21:52):
to flee the city. When neither municipal or state authorities
would take action to protect the members, they said, well,
you know what, we can't blame them, and you're on
your own. You haven't paid these soldiers, so you know, yeah,
they cussed you out and threatened you. Okay, ain't our problem,
it's yours. So thus Madison noted that this is James Madison,

(22:13):
chief architect in seventeen ninety three, a chief architect of
the Constitution. So anyway, he noted that the indispenseful necessity
of complete authority at the seat of government carries its
own evidence with it. Without it, not only the public
authority might be insulted in his proceedings, interrupted with impunity,

(22:34):
but a dependence of the members of the General Government
on the state, comprehending the seat of government for protection
and the exercise of their duty, might bring all the
National Council an imputation of awe or influence equally dishonorable
to the government and dissatisfactory to the other members of
the confederacy. He referred to. He was bringing part there

(22:58):
to the Articles of Confederation, which was the first kind
of attempt to kind of unionize, if you want to
call it that of the states. See, our first confederacy
didn't happen in eighteen sixty one during the American Revolution.
Articles of Confederation, that was our first confederacy. Now, the
actual site was selected by a compromise, now the Northerners
accepting the southern flavored site on the Potomac in return

(23:21):
for Southern support for a Northern aspiration assumption of revolutionary
war debts by the national government. Now, Maryland and Virginia
both authorized this session of territory, and Congress accepted. Congress
divided the district into two counties, if you want to

(23:42):
call them that, Washington and Alexandria, and this is for
the District of Columbia now, and provided that the local
laws of the two states should continue in effact. It
also established a circuit court and provided for the appointment
of judicial and law enforcement officials. There seems to have
been no consideration, at least none recorded given at the

(24:04):
Convention or in the ratifying conventions, to the question of
the governance of the citizens of the district. Madison and
the Federalist papers did assume that the inhabitants will have
had that their voice in the election of the government,
which is to exercise authority over them as a municipal
legislature for all local purposes derived from their own suffrages
will of course be allowed them, although there was some

(24:26):
dispute about the constitutional propriety of permitting local residents a
measure of home rule, hence the Home Rule Act the
name of it to use the recent term. Almost from
the first there were local elections provided for in the district.
It was divided into five divisions, and some of which

(24:46):
the governing officials were elected, an elected mayor was provided.
In district residents elected some of those who governed them,
until this form of government was swept away in the
aftermath of the financial scandals in eighteen seventy four and
replaced with the presidentially appointed Commission in eighteen seventy eight.
The commission lasted until nineteen sixty seven, when it was

(25:07):
replaced by an appointed mayor, commission and appointed city council.
In recent years, Congress provided for a limited form of
self government in the district, with the major offices filled
by election. All right, district residents vote for the president,
vice president, and elective non voting delegate to Congress because

(25:28):
they were allowed again three delegate three electric College votes
an effort by a const social amendment to confer voting
representation in the House and said it failed a ratification.
So they do have a representative, but they don't really
get to I mean, they don't really get to do much.
They they just kind of sit there conscerously. It appears

(25:49):
that Congress is neither required to provide for locally elected
government nor precluded from delegating its power over the district
to an elective local government. The words it can kind
of go with the direction. The Court has indicated that
the exclusive jurisdiction granted was meant to exclude any question
of state power over the area. It was not intended
to require Congress exercise all powers itself. In other words,

(26:13):
it was a little more optional. But the states couldn't
couldn't roll in there and say, well, we want to
do this, and then blah blah. Now there is some
historisty on this particular part of the debate. Chief Justice
Marshall for the Court held in a case known as
Hepburn v. L Z that the District of Columbia was
not a state within the meaning of the diversity jurisdiction
clause of Article three. View adhere too for nearly a

(26:35):
century and a half, was overturned in nineteen forty nine
court upholding the constitutionality of a nineteen forty statute authorizing
federal courts to take jurisdiction of non federal controversies between
the residents of the District of Columbia and the citizens
of a state. The decision was a five to four division,
but the five and the majority discreet among themselves on
the reasons three thoughts the statute to be an appropriate

(26:57):
exercise of the power of Congress to legislate for the
time District of Columbia pursuing to this clause without regard
to Article three to Others thought that Hepburn v. L
Z had been erroneously decided and would have overruled it.
But six justices rejected the former rationale and seven justices
rejected the latter one. Since five justices out of nine agreed, however,

(27:21):
that the statute was a constitutional why not being sustained anyway,
So go figure that one out. There's a weird Supreme
Court case. You can look at it. It's really bizarre
in some ways, but there was. It's not exputed that
the district is a part of the United States and
that its residents are entitled to all the guarantees of
the United States Constitution, including the privilege of trial by
jury and a presentment by a grand jury. Legislation restrictive

(27:44):
of liberty and property in the district must find justification
in facts atdequate to support the legislation by a state
in the exercise of its police power. Now Congress possesses
over the District of Columbia the blended powers of a
local and national legislature, if that makes sense. This fact
means that in some respects ordinary constitutional restrictions do not operate. Thus,
for example, in creating local courts of local jurisdiction and

(28:08):
the district, Congress acts pursuant to its legislative powers under
Claw seventeen and need not create courts that comply with
Article three court requirements, which is part of what that
debate was about in the Supreme Court. We're a little
bit kind of touched on it. And when legislating for
the district, Congress remains the legislature of the Union, so
that it may give it's an acting extation wide operation

(28:31):
to the extent necessary to make them locally effective. In
other words, whatever Congress applies nationally does affect the District
of Columbia. They're not excluded from that. Knowether Congress makes
a law I don't know about peanut butter or something,
well it's going to apply on the District of Columbia,
not just all other fifty states and territories. If that
makes sense. Okay, So now that we've had our constitutional
legal lesson, and you're hopefully your eyes in glaze. When

(28:52):
we were going over all that jazz. Congress to put
it in the layman's terms in kind of just distill
it down. Congress more or less in the end has
ultimate authorita over the district of Columbia. Okay, And for
this nineteen seventy three Home Rule Act, they had a
carve out that gives the president some temporary power for

(29:14):
argument sake, we'll call it thirty days. Roughly after that,
Congress has to step in. If the president then in
other words, Trump, if he wants to keep the guard
in there, if he wants to keep things going as
they are, and he has to ultimately go back to
Congress and say, look, we need to continue what I'm doing,

(29:36):
because it's going to take more than just a few
days to straighten all this mess out. It may take months.
At that point, Congress then decides, Okay, you can do
this or nope, sorry, you had your chance. That's it.
We're going back to regular order here. So that's and
if he says, well, I'm gonna do it anyway, Okay,
then we've got a problem. Then he will be acting

(30:00):
apart from Congress, apart from the authority of the Congress
is granted in that act, and then he will be
acting as a tyrant, and some could arguement, but there
would be grounds perhaps and I think probably good grounds
at that point, for impeachment. Okay, that would get him
in trouble. Let's hope he's not that hard headed for
his own sake and the sake of the nation. But

(30:23):
given the fact that Republicans do control Congress, there's a
good possibility he'll get his way. They'll go ahead and
give him a permission slip to you know, keep it,
keep it rolling what he's got going on. But that
would that would require a permission slip from Congress. Okay,
he can't just continue this on his own. So he's

(30:45):
got a fairly small window of opportunity here to do
whatever he is he's going to do and try, which
he has a legal authority to do. He's not the
other people. Oh he's acting like a dictator. No he's not. No,
he's not. The Home Rule Act allows him to do it. Now,
there are some who debate that the Home Rule Act
may on its face be borderline and constitutional, because Congress

(31:05):
did make a carve out in there for the president.
But they've done that a lot for a lot of
things where they sort of slough off their duties, okay,
because Constitution requires Congress. It says Congress shall have the
power to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever. Congress
has the duty to sort of parent, if you will,
the District of Columbia, not the president. But in this

(31:28):
case they kind of well sloughed it off as they
normally do. So can he legally do it? Yes? Is
there a constitutional question about him doing it? Yes? Because
if you go back to ultimately to what we see
in the Constitution, this is Congress's authority. Okay, this is

(31:52):
Congress's authority, but as they do by act, and it
probably should have been an amendment act, because Congress has
a bad habit of kind of trying to sneak things
around the Constitution, sneak things, perhaps into the Constitution, not
necessarily writing it in, you know, with a with a

(32:13):
pen and paper, but in essence sort of writing it
in by some sort of act. This is the stuff
that Congress has done for a long time, arguably over
one hundred years, well over one hundred years, maybe one
and twenty and thirty arguably going back. But this is
what they do time and time again. You cannot amend

(32:34):
the Constitution by an act. There is, there is a
method and a proper way to amend the Constitution, which
they did with a twenty third amendment. They did that
with a twenty third amendment. But they if they wanted this,

(32:54):
they should have worked that in there and made this
a little more clear. Didn't. So what you got a
few years, you know, basically what you got in nineteen
seventy three was this Home Rule Act. All right, So
that's what the president is acting upon. Is it legal? Yes?
Is it constitutional? Well, that's debatable, but it is legal

(33:15):
in the strict sense of that term. All right. So
to sit there and say he's doing something illegal, or
he's being a tyrant, or he's you know, or abusing
his authority, No, he's not. Okay, you're gonna hear a
lot of that. I'm sorry. Federal law allows him to
do it. The Congress, who does have the ultimate authority

(33:38):
over DC, he gave him the permission. I think it's
a constitutional slough off of their power. But that's debatable.
But there it is, and maybe that will be challenged,
and maybe it should be challenging courts. The constitutionality of
what Congress did in nineteen seventy three, not with the president,
not so much with the president's doing. Now does that
make sense? Okay, but that's not a case that'll be

(34:01):
decided tomorrow by the Supreme Court. That may take years
because you got to go because you're going back in
time to something that Congress did way back in the
day and wasn't constitutional, all right, So that would ultimately
be the case to go back in to try and
do that kind of thing. That's usually how that works.
I'm no lawyer, but I'm studying this stuff and I'm
seeing that's that's usually how that kind of thing works.

(34:23):
I'm sure there'll probably be some lawsuits filed. I'm sure
already in the process of being filed. Good luck. We're
gonna go out break here in just a second. We
get back, and I want to share something with you
from Jonathan Turley, who is a constitutional expert and a
professor of law George washing University, and we'll get into

(34:48):
that and what his thoughts are, and then we're gonna
get into some I'm gonna share with you some stats,
and then we're gonna get into the minutional of what
the media is doing, what politicians are saying, how people
are melting down, you know, and some of this is silly.
It's not surprising because President Donald Trump could, I don't

(35:09):
know if find a care for cancer, and the media
would melt down about it. Okay, that's just they melt
the man sneezes. They melt down because that's all they have.
They're fixated, they're obsessed. They're obsessed. It's it's the only
pinata they've got left to really hammer, is President Trump.

(35:32):
That they have nothing else left. There's plenty to talk about.
They don't want to talk about it, that this is
their hobby horse, and there's plenty going on in the
news that we need to talk about. And there aren't
some news outlets that they're talking about it. Most of
the mainstink legacy media aren't, or if they do, it's
you know, backpage down and the way down on the

(35:53):
bottom where they're opening you you know, below the the
advertisement for uh pads for acne or something, you know,
in their newspaper or whatever, and they don't want to
talk about her in the magazine. They don't want to
go there. Let's take a break. Not that pats were
helping to clear out acne or not important, but you
know what I'm saying. It's not something that requires national

(36:18):
headlines back with more.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
They what's up?

Speaker 6 (36:36):
This is Toby Mack with the five loves of a
Jesus freak. Write them down, hide them in your heart.
Here they are Love God, love His Word, love your enemies,
love your neighbor, love truth.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Sound easy.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Not likely.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
If all that does come too easy for you, you're
probably not working hard enough. On the other hand, these
five loves should come second nature to any authentic Jesus
free if you let God's grace offen your heart one
more time, Love God, love his Word, love your enemies,
love your neighbor, love truth.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Amen.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
Jesus Streaks Radio is brought to you by DC Talk.

Speaker 7 (37:17):
The voice of the martyrs in this station.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
All right, Jonathan Turley. He explains why Trump's DC crackdown
and can't be stopped. This bring worded by the Daily
Caller News Foundation Harold Hutchison media reporter George washing University
law professor Jonathan Turley said Monday, President Donald Trump's crackdown
on crime in Washington, d C. Couldn't be stopped do
the status of the nation's capital, which I just share

(37:45):
with you the legal status, and now Trump announced the
deployment of the National Guard to come back crime in
the District of Columbia days after the Department of Government
Efficiency staffer Edward Corstein, known by the moniker well which
I won't say, uh severely injured when he intervened to
prevent a carjacking, truly said that because DC is a
federal enclave, Trump had the leeway to take control. And again,

(38:13):
you know, reference to the Home Rules Act of nineteen
seventy three. Okay, so he can legally do it, and
there's not much Eamba I can do to stop it,
at least temporarily. I mean now he can't. He can
only it's just a temporary thing. And then after that
he's got to basically go crawl into Congress and saying, look,
can we extend this? And then Congress cantern or won't.

(38:37):
It's it's pretty cut and dry in that regard. But
Jonathan Turley is in essence echoing what I'm echoing on this,
and he's a lot smarter in this realm than I am,
but a lot more study than I arguably, but he's
he's right. Okay, So regardless of what the pundit, you know,

(39:00):
some lawyer that they drag onto MSNBC or CNN says
about or you know whatever, are some politician. There you go,
there's the facts, man, there's the facts. Okay. So I've
shared it all with you. Take her to leave it
to your own research, to your own homework on it.
Don't take my word for it. Now the DC crime

(39:22):
rate comparisons. Now people are saying, well, yeah, okay, back
back in two years ago, a year and a half ago. Yeah,
it was just it was horrible. But it's gone down.
Let's dropped. So there's no call for this. This is ridiculous,
This is overreach, this is wrong. Drop it's a thirty
thirty year low, is it really? All right, Let's go

(39:44):
by the twenty twenty four numbers, because those are the
only numbers that are fully compiled. Okay, we're still in
twenty twenty five, all right. Now, if if the numbers hold,
you know, for who, we are roughly the middle of August.
If the numbers hole at the rate we're going, there
is four and a half more months left in the year.

(40:05):
If the rates continue to hold as they are holding,
this may be another yearly drop. Of course, they may not.
They may not. Of course, with the National Guard in there,
they may they may drop probably will, but you know
there's possibility they may not. All right, So let's look
at the twenty twenty four stats. And by the way,

(40:26):
I'm referring to the mainstinct media stats so so that
even they can't argue this, this is their own stats,
this is their own numbers from their own research. Okay. Now,
in twenty twenty four, murders drop to one hundred and
eighty seven in Washington, d C. In twenty twenty four, however,
the murder rate in Washington, d C at that time,

(40:46):
in twenty twenty four, capped out at twenty seven point
three per one hundred people. Now, that's according to PBS
News Public Broadcasting SYSTEMBA News. Okay, Now, going back to
that same time frame, in twenty twenty four, of the
murder rate in Bogota, Columbia, because the President did refer

(41:08):
to this, was fifteen point two per one hundred thousand people. Now,
that's according to the Bogota Columbia City Council. Now, those
numbers could be brawling where the other who knows, but
just taking them a face value that still comes in
at below and Bogata's Colombia is a pretty crime brit
in area that still comes in below the twenty seven

(41:30):
point three per one hundred thousand again in twenty twenty
four for the District of Columbia, as reported by PBS News.
That's their numbers, all right. Continuing on, in twenty twenty four,
the homicide rate in Mexico City and see what I
may call was approximately ten per one hundred thousand inhabitants. Now,

(41:53):
this was significally lower than the homicide rate in Washington,
d C. Which, again in twenty twenty four same timeframe
when the year kept out, was around twenty seven point
five per one hundred thousand. That according to a CNN report.
That's CNN's own numbers. Now, Mexico City sawmicaderate in twenty

(42:16):
twenty four was also lower than the national average from Mexico,
which was twenty four twenty four per one hundred thousand.
Now that according to the Guardian. But that's still below
the twenty seven point three or point five, whichever one
you take there, because PBS said it was twenty seven
point three, CNN si twenty seven point five. So let's

(42:37):
just say roughly over twenty seven. That's still lower. That
average per one hundred thousand was still lower for the
entire country of Mexico than the city of Washington, d C. Now,
these are the twenty twenty four stats. That's per the Guardian,
per CNN, per PBS. Got it. Okay, that's their stat

(43:01):
in twenty twenty four. Now, perhaps I don't know, perhaps
the Orange Man was referring to these numbers, and in
that case, if he was referring to twenty twenty four numbers,
in that case, he was correct in saying that it
was worse than Bogatah, Columbia. Becuse there's people say, ahright,
you said you got that fact that those fact checker's going,
oh no, he's wrong on that right. Well, I'm sorry,
but here's the facts as presented by those folks and

(43:24):
the media, mister and missus fact checker. So I'm checking
fact checking the fact checkers. Here's the numbers from twenty
twenty four. If that's what the Orange Man meant. Now,
if he's referring to more current numbers, yeah, he could
be wrong. But the last time these numbers were compiled
and solidified and you know, are done because that year's over. Remember,

(43:47):
we're still in twenty twenty five. That's what the numbers were, Okay,
And if he's referring to twenty four, twenty twenty four numbers,
I don't know where he was. It wasn't but if
he was, then he is correct on this. Fact checkers
are all wrong. Here's the numbers again from the mainstink media.
Their own numbers, okay, their own numbers, and one presumes

(44:12):
they were calling through the data that was available at
the time, after after the year ended, which probably were
released earlier this year January, February, March whenever, when those
final numbers were tallied and tabulated. Now, uh, the d
C Uh, those are those are the DC crime numbers. Now,

(44:34):
one of the heads of the U of the d
C Police Union, it's actually, uh, little little bit sketchy
on the numbers himself. He doesn't he does. He doubts
the numbers the city crime statistics. So this is presuming
they're even correct. So DC Police Union Chairman Greg Pemberton

(44:57):
said he doubts the drop in crime is his largest city.
For she'll say that's being reported by news for marks
the graves. Uh. He asked In fact that he asked
Mayor Muriel Bowser about the district commanders accused of changing statistics,
and also by Teddobrik news for investigative reporter rick Yarborough

(45:20):
news for this is where this is coming from. Uh so,
DC crime statistics and news Force own reporting are in
the spialized. President Donald Trumps federalized the city's police department
with the President question Metapau and Police Department Dad at
the White House on Monday, and overnight the head of
the DC police union told why he also distrusted the
statistics and in fact, the last month, News Force Paul

(45:42):
Wagner broke a news story that the commander of MPD's
third district was suspended after MPD said he was changing
crime statistics to minimize serious crimes. And that's again this
is the news Force own reporting there in the DC
area and report Paul Wagner broke the news at the
commander of MPD the Ease third district was suspended after
MPD said he was changing crime statistics a minim my

(46:04):
serious crime. In fact, Trump brought up the allegations in
his news conference White House LinkedIn news for reporting in
the press really sent title the STC crime is out
of control, accusing NBD of cooking the books to make
crime statists appear more favorable. DC Police Union chairman Greg
Pemerton told NBC news Garrett Haik that he doubts to
dropping crime is as large as DC officials are touting.

(46:25):
He said, there's a potential there is potentially a drop
from where we were in twenty twenty three. I think
there's a possibility of the crime has come down. But
the department is reporting that in twenty twenty four crime
went down thirty five percent violent crime and another twenty
five percent through August of this year. That is preposterous
to suggest that cumululat cumulatively say that word ten times fast.

(46:45):
We've seen don't try this the home kids, leave it
to the pros. We've seen sixty plus percent drops in
violent crime from where we were in two in twenty
twenty three, because we're out on the street, we know
the calls were responding to he said. Factor twenty twenty three,
DC saw a crime spike that had not been seen
in about twenty years, almost not violent crime number spiked

(47:07):
as we actually had the COVID nineteen pandemic. All right,
so you've got that and of course, system debate about
that and blah blah blah, but anyway, that's what the union.
One of the union heads said that, yeah, I don't
think it's dropped that much. It's maybe gone down, but yeah,

(47:29):
I don't think it's gone down that much. I'm only
here a clip here in just a moment, and this
is from pardon me. This is from an ABC reporter.
ABC News reporter anchored Kyra Phillips. This being reported by
Alana Mastrangelo. This is from bike bar. I believe ABC News.

(47:52):
Kyra Phillips shared that she thought that she was actually
jumped by half dressed hobo in Washington, d C. So
we're all experiencing at first hand what's going on. And
I'm gonna let you hear a clip from her just
a second, because some of the some of the media
types are saying, oh, you know, we live in DC,
we work in DC. It ain't that bad. And Trump's
just using this as an excuse. You just take over

(48:14):
the cobs and take over the city, and you know
he's being authoritarian and this is blah blah blah blah blah. Well,
there's some reporters saying that on one side of their
mouth and on the other side saying something different. But
here's one ABC reporter that's saying, well, you know it's
it's it's I got jumped here a couple of years back.

(48:34):
I mean, it's bad, and everybody knows about it. And
this isn't just something that's being made up. I mean
we're here. And by the way, ABC News, there's certainly
no quote unquote conservative news outlet and no big fans
of Donald Trump. Uh. And I'm military some cliffs from
in miss NBC too, from Joe'scarboro. Again, if anybody hates
Donald Trump, it's jose Caarboro. But kind of saying, well, no,

(48:56):
wait a minute. Uh, everybody who worked Sarhon been there
and lived there and worked there for a while, knows
it's crime infested. It's pretty darn bad. It's ridiculous bad.
So let me let you hear this from ABC anchor.
This is from Kara Phillips. Yeah. I think she was
kind of pushing back on some some other folks to

(49:17):
fellow reporters on this. Of course, you can go back
and look at it in context, but this is the
clip that I that here's legally what I can play
and what's what's out there. But even she was kind
of pushing back and others are they kind of go, well,
it's not so fast. Crime is we have to meet.
Crime is pretty bad in DC. It's and everybody knows
that carjacking is terrible and and a lot of it

(49:38):
she is youth crime. It's a lot of young it's teenagers.
That's where there's been a you know, kind of a
spike in this stuff going on in recent years. And
that's of course pretty darn sad. But let me let
you hear this clip.

Speaker 8 (49:51):
We've been talking so much about the numbers, and yeah,
usually that's how you played Devil's advocate as you talk about,
oh well, stats say crime is down. However, I can
I'll tell you first hand here in downtown d C
where we work, right here around our bureau, just in
the past six months, you know, there were two people shot.
One person died literally two blocks down here from the bureau.

(50:12):
It was within the last two years that I actually
was jumped walking just two blocks down from here. And
then just this morning one of my coworkers said her
car was stolen a block away from the bureau. So
we can talk about the numbers going down. But crime
is happening every single day because we're all experiencing at

(50:34):
firsthand while working and living down here.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Of course, I mean these are people who are I mean,
they're living the thing. Regardless of what some politician says
or what some reporter you know, down in wherever it says.
The people who are living there, they know what's going on.
They know what's going on. Joe Scarborough being parted about

(50:58):
Christine Parks Fox New Msibgas reveals DC journalists privately shared
concerns about crime while publicly denouncing Trump's plan. So they
thought the crime was really bad. But you know, we're
gonna we're gonna say that privately to ourselves. You got
a crime here is our ratas. We gotta do something
about it. But we can't let the Orange Man do
something about it. You know, we can't let him get
away with doing something about it. We got to go

(51:19):
after him because you know, he's the Orange Man and
we hate him. MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and no fan
of the Trumpster used to be no More suggested that
some media figures blasting President Donald Trump's fred will take
over Washington c We're not being entirely honest about their
concerns over crime in the nation's capitol on Tuesday mornings, Joe,
Uh for me, for me to agree with Joe on anything,

(51:42):
but I think he's right on this one because there's
plenty of hypocrisy here on this. I mean plenty plenty
going around. Let me let you listen to what Joe
said on this.

Speaker 9 (51:54):
It's an interesting thing where I'll hear you know, I
actually heard a reporter heard from a reporter when this
has happened going, well, you know, if he doesn't overreach,
this is actually a good thing for quality of life,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, because d C right now,
I had this happened to my family, and I had
that they go down the list, and then saw him

(52:18):
tweet something completely different. So DC, there has been a
problem in DC. It's not as bad as it was
two or three years ago, but it's not as it's
not as safe as Manhattan. It's not as safe as
the nation's capital should be. By the way, a deer
for third, I've lived in d C for thirty two years.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
I can I can go if you'd like against the
Orange Man. Joe Joe, Joe, we talked about this backstage.
We hate I'm Donald Trump, not Joe. Don't don't spoil
them there, Joe. Come on, yeah, look, I'm no flagwaiver
of the Orange Man either, but come on. Uh so

(53:02):
the hypocrisy and even their owner pointing this out. When
you got somebody from ABC, somebody from the Marxist Socialist
Nationalists Broadcasting collected Joe Scarbel saying when I wait a minute,
come on now, I mean, if that's not your canary
in the coal mine of how much hypocrisy is flowing
around this thing from the MAINSTINC media types, I don't
know what is. And I've got more, but we got

(53:22):
to go to break top hour break here, but and
we'll pull I got some more out for the top
of the hour. But the hypocrisy here is just it's
so rich, it is so rich, and even even Joe's
having to say, well, now, wait a minute, I mean,
let that be your canary in the coal mine. When
the Marxist socialst Nationalists Broadcasting Collective, one of the prime
hosts again no fan of the Orange Man or Maggot

(53:43):
people or any of that, saying when I hold on,
hold on here you know, there's a Trump's got of
point and there's you know, there's a problem here. It
needs to be fixed. Canna, our nation's capital, just going
you know, being this this huge crime epicenter that that
has been for years. There's nothing new to it. It's
been going on for years. Gang it's been going on
for years. This is nothing new. Park police have been

(54:07):
up to their eyeballs and stuff for a long time.
We're not talking about any political snannigans either, but then
there's plenty of that going on, hasn't been for since
day one. But you know, we're talking about just that,
you know, the run of the mill gangs and criminals
and thugs and whatever run around doing their stuff, and
a lot of teens teen stuff. That's what's really sad

(54:28):
about this lot, you know, twelve thirty fourteen year old
kids doing stuff. It's terrible. And stuff locked behind counters,
I mean behind glass in the stores. You go to
CVS or Walgreens there and stuff is just you know
every other thing. You're the deodorants behind a plexiglass case
locked up, I mean you know it. That tells you
how bad things are when you got to lock up

(54:49):
the deodorant that tells you there's your sign that maybe
things in our city aren't going the way they should.
You know there's problem there more Christian talk to rock
straight Ahead. You're listening to the family comedy minute humor

(55:23):
that is safe for the entire family.

Speaker 9 (55:25):
Now let's take a moment and laugh with Jeff Allen.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
Then one day my wife asked a fatal question, just
sitting at the breakfast table, and he says, how many miles.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Per gallon is that candle?

Speaker 6 (55:34):
I could do?

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Said miles odally optimistic.

Speaker 10 (55:39):
Don't you think.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
Get a bigger number? We use feet? Remember the engine
in a sixty six Caddy was huge.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
Man had a carbrator built my hoover.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Remember leaving the engine running a guy pumping gas gon

how long did you do it for?

Speaker 2 (56:50):
I tried it the other day.

Speaker 10 (56:51):
It's not very comfortable.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Don't recommend it.

Speaker 10 (56:54):
Spiritually, it's so easy to sit on the fence, to
have one foot in the world and one foot in
God's word, to be so spiritual on Sunday morning, but
then Friday night's a completely different scene. Jesus challenges us
in Revelation, chapter three, verse sixteen.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Don't be lukewarm.

Speaker 10 (57:10):
Look some people, they're not hot, they're not cold, they're
just lukewarm. They're going through the motions. Spiritually, it's like
having one foot on the boat one foot on the dock.
You can't do both at the same time. You're gonna
fall into the water. I have a little silver square
that's in my bathroom I look at every day Joshua,
Chapter twenty four, verse fifteen. It says, choose this day

(57:30):
whom you will serve. But as for me and my house,
we will serve the Lord. Every single day. Temptations come
and they're difficult, So we need to remember that we

Let's talk what you want. You're not going to get
uh thunderous radio. Okay, more clips, more clips. The folks
in MSNBC just melting down, just completely melting down. But

(01:00:08):
I'm on to here on their legal guys too. He
kind of said, well hold on, so there there's but
again from the Marxist Socials Nationalists Broadcasting Collective, they would
melt down if the Orange Man found a cure for cancer.
Because that's just it's just part of the script. It's
what they have to say, what they do, it's what
it's who they are at the Marxist Socials Nationalist Broadcasting Collective.

(01:00:31):
Uh so let me cheer some more clubs they're entertaining.
Here's what what some folks there think, some of the
some of the media types there, they're they're having the
because because they're going they're going bananas here or this thing.
They just said, Oh it's it's and and I and I.
When I first heard it announced money, I thought, oh boy,
here we go. This is gonna be fun. Well it is.

(01:00:52):
If you're a talk show person, it gives you a
lot of fun stuff to put you know, throw on
your show gives you more to talk about, and reporters
melting down is always kind of fun because they just
go these propagandas just go they just go into Nini mode.
I mean, they can't help themselves.

Speaker 14 (01:01:06):
Really, I think it's really important to be clear about
what is going on here, and a relatively small crime
problem is being used for specific authoritarian purposes that we
know and understand. So let's be clear about DC does
have a really one, really big crime problem, which was

(01:01:27):
the January sixth insurrection incited by the current President of
the United States, and his first act in coming back
was pardoning all the people who tried to overturn constitutional
republic order in Washington, DC. When I go to DC,
I'm not afraid of losing my wallet so much as
I'm afraid of losing my vote. I'm not afraid of

(01:01:49):
losing my wallet soon. Who's not afraid that my children's
freedom to breathe will be stolen in a world where
climate change policy is non existent. I'm afraid that the
future of middle class people will be stolen by the
very things you were talking about. Cutting the safety net,
cutting medicaid, cutting rural hospitals.

Speaker 9 (01:02:09):
Right, So, of course there is a card about two
things you got to worry about two things.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
You don't think more police make streets safer?

Speaker 15 (01:02:22):
Uh no, Joe, I'm a black woman in America. I
do not always think that more police make streets safer.
When you walk down the streets of Georgetown, you don't
see a police officer on every corner, but you don't
feel unsafe. So what is it about talking about places
like Southeast DC right ward eight? If you will that
people say, well, we need more officers to make us safe.
I think we have to rethink what safety means in America.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Really, that needs to be rethought. Okay, what safety means
in America? Yeah, see, that's the kind of psychobabble platitudes.
And of course she quickly played the race card. She
quickly played the race card. By the way, not all
Karen's are white. She quickly played that race card. Did
you notice that, Well, I'm a black woman. Okay, what

(01:03:07):
does that mean? What does that mean?

Speaker 5 (01:03:09):
So?

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
What did you're a black woman?

Speaker 9 (01:03:13):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
Let me just say this for the record. I was
looking at when they had the hundredth of the hundredth murder.
I saw video of it was it was just there
wasn't much audio. It was just like showing the cops
doing their thing and people doing this stuff, and the
homicide people showing up and all that. I noticed that

(01:03:35):
probably half the cops in that video were wait for it,
wait for it, we're black. So which cops is she
afraid of them? Black cops? Are the white cops? As
a black woman. I just she didn't make that clear,
but more police makes her because she's a black woman afraid. Really, really,

(01:03:58):
that's becoming tired. Come up with a new one. But
that one's old. I'm sorry, but that one is so
twenty twenty. Let's move on. You know that that's old.
I'm sorry, that's just old. And I'm saying, this is
a person of mixed race, Okay, here's had plenty of
dealings in his life with cops, good and bad. Well,

(01:04:20):
national Guards there now, so I don't know. Maybe she's
hiding under her covers and there's all kinds of people
in the National Guard of all sorts of races, and
women too for that matter, and black women too for
that matter. But maybe she's scared of the black women
in the National Guard because maybe they've been brainwasheder something.
I don't know, you know, who knows, but this is
the kind of silliness. And thank god, I mean joe'scar.

(01:04:41):
But I'll tip my hand to Joe for putting the
crazies out there. He put the crazies out there, He
put them on display for the he put them on
the front porch for people passing by to sea. Now
here's another uh person on MSNBC. He's in fact, he's

(01:05:03):
one of their their legal uh legal guys, and he
makes uh, he makes some decent points. Oh, by the way,
he's African American too.

Speaker 5 (01:05:14):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
He didn't talk about being afraid. Of course, he's a
black man, not a black woman. I don't know. Maybe
that makes a difference in his world, who knows. But uh,
he talked about, you know, some of the pros and
cons happening here. And obviously if the Orange Man goes
past what the Home Rule the Home Rules Act allows,

(01:05:37):
then yeah, he's uh, he's getting into some territory he shouldn't.
And you're gonna hear me blasting with both barrels if
he if he pulls that. Let's hope he's smart enough,
and I think he is. But let's hope he's smart
enough will find out. I guess to not pull that,
but uh, you you've got to have some I mean, look,

(01:06:00):
you've got to apply some balance and common sense here
and again, do your own homework. Do your own homework,
all right, because there's a lot of crazy voices out there.
There's a lot of people again on some of these networks,
and MSNBC being one of the craziest obviously, all this
being ported by Pam Keybrybart dot com. MSNBC's Collie says

(01:06:23):
Dems created a political opening for Trump's DC takeover. They
sure did. MSNBC legal analyst Anthony Coley said Wednesday on
Morning Joe that Democrats in Washingt DC's council created a
political opening for Presidentald Trump's policing takeover. Well, yeah, they did.
He's right on that. Let me let you hear what
he has to say. As we just read some of
those stats.

Speaker 16 (01:06:42):
DC is unique in that it's our nation's capital, Anthony,
it may be a short term political winner. Will see
if he likes how this goes, if he does decide
to expand this concept to Chicago, into LA and to
other cities. He's threatened to use it. We'll see if
it's a political winner in the long term. But it
is true that there's a perception and a feeling among

(01:07:05):
people who some people live in Washington that the crime
is worse.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
Data tells us otherwise.

Speaker 16 (01:07:10):
So it's walking that line of addressing the statistics and
not as we said yesterday and making policy based on
anecdote because you heard a story about something happening.

Speaker 13 (01:07:21):
Right, there is a gap between what the data shows
and how many Washingtonians feel.

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
And I live in Washington. This is personal for me.

Speaker 13 (01:07:29):
Many people are frustrated with crime that we see, particularly
committed by juveniles in the city of Washington. People are
frustrated really that they when they go to CBS to
buy deodorant, that they have to get it from behind
locked plexiglass.

Speaker 5 (01:07:49):
Right.

Speaker 13 (01:07:51):
But the response here, and you know, let me say this, right,
this is not These are not just random anadotes. What
we see in Washington Post polling among others, is that
uply half of DC residents, mostly half of DC re
view this as a serious problem or an extremely serious problem.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
And the question then becomes why.

Speaker 13 (01:08:12):
Right, what I talked about with kady k a little
earlier and way too early is that juvenile arrest are
down in the district of Columbia. So we don't see
that in Baltimore, where year over year juvenile arrests are up.
And so what are the reasons for that? Jonathan Lemure

(01:08:33):
rightly pointed out the one billion dollars that Congress is withholding,
which would allow Washington d C to hire more more officers.
But the DC Council has a role to play here
as well, because some of the laws that they have
passed are not as strong as they could be for

(01:08:54):
juvenile offenders and for reoffenders. Now, having said all of that,
I want to be clear that does not justify the
disproportionate response that we are seeing from Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
It is a political stunt.

Speaker 13 (01:09:08):
He is exploiting people's fears. But to be frank, Democrats
own the DC Council have created this political op that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
Allows him to do that.

Speaker 13 (01:09:20):
Now, I'm not naive, Willie. I suspect that even if
juvenile crime wasn't a problem, Donald Trump would have taken
the actions that we have seen in recent days. But
from a raw political perspective, you never want to give
your political opponent an opening to address the needs that

(01:09:40):
many of your constituents have and.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
That's what they did. That's what they did. In other words,
he's sort of saying, you know, they kind of asked
for it, they and they did. They did. So Donald
Trump's new sheriff in down. He's cleaning up Dodge, so
to speak. And I mean he and again and again.

(01:10:07):
Because Congress granted in nineteen seventy three to some extent,
he's got some legal authority to temporarily do that. Of course,
he's got to go back to Congress and permission to
make it a little bit more ongoing, you know, each
each time, I guess. But he has roughly a less
than thirty day window here arguably to make whatever he's
going to make happen happen. And but ultimately it's going

(01:10:28):
to be up to either a Congress, because they do
have the conscerutional authority, or the DC police or maybe
some sort of cooperation together to clean up Dodge. Okay,
And Congresses have that conscerutional authority. Now where they've got
the will is another question, But they have the there's
one hundred thousand clear I read it to you that

(01:10:52):
the Constitution gives them the authority to ultimately you know
they have. They have the authority over the District of Columbia.
And if the District of Columbia, if the city council
there won't make won't tough enough the laws to deal
with crime, well, Congress can Congress is step in and say, okay,

(01:11:13):
mayor city council, if you guys are going to tough
enough the laws, we will. Now we're going to give
you an opportunity to do it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:20):
So do it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
But if you don't, Constitution says we can come in
and we can do it for you. You don't like
it tough, ask for a new membent of the Constitution.
We'll think about it, but until then, we're going to
clean up Dodge. If you won't do it, soress. So
Congress ultimately is the ones they really need to be
doing this, not so much the President. It's ultimately Congress.
But again we go back to that whole thing where

(01:11:43):
Congress likes to slough off authority. Turn the other cheek
and go golfing, turn the other turn the other eye
and go golfing. We see it all the time. Think
about these things the next time you vote. I don't
care which party you vote for in think about these things.
Next time somebody's running for Congress, and maybe ask them
about this and say, look, would you be for Congress

(01:12:06):
since the constitution gives you the authority if they even
know about this, gives you the authority, tells them to
legislate over DC? Would you be willing to toughen up
DC's the criminal laws there per constant, per congressional authority,
per congressional you know, actor or passage of a law
or whatever, to toughen up, in other words, to do

(01:12:30):
with the DC fathers aren't doing. Are you? Are you
for that? And see what they say. And if they say, well,
blah blah blah, give you some half baked answer. Maybe
don't vote for them. Maybe find somebody else who understands
what's going on, you see, write them. They have email addresses.
Of course, you may get some I know, you may

(01:12:50):
get some flunky somebody that works for him, uh, some
intern writing you back or giving some kind of form response. Okay,
And they note that as well, that they aren't even
addressing you a serious concern. Note that as well, Maybe
look elsewhere. Do your homework on these people who want

(01:13:12):
your vote. They're not entitled to your vote. No, matter
how much they decided. Jerry Mander, We're going get into that.
They're not entitled to your vote. All right, you hire
and fire these people. That's the way it works in
our constitutional republic and our representative representative form of democracy,
which sits under the umbrella of a conserutional republic. That's

(01:13:34):
how it works. They're not entitled to your vote. They
may think they are, but they're not. More Christian Talk
to Rock straight aheads to close.

Speaker 3 (01:13:53):
More talk continues next with Richie Els. More Christian Talk
that rocks.

Speaker 2 (01:13:59):
Next.

Speaker 17 (01:14:01):
Oh, this is Max McClain. God created all things by
his word. How does the word have the power to create?
Because his word is a person. Listen to the Bible
from John one. In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

(01:14:22):
He was with God in the beginning. Through him, all
things were made. Without him, nothing was made that has
been made. In him was life, and that life was
the light of men. The light shines in the darkness,
but the darkness has not understood it. He was in
the world, and though the world was made through him,

(01:14:46):
the world did not recognize him. From John One, Listen
to the Bible it's great for the soul.

Speaker 12 (01:14:54):
You're more at radiobible dot org Adnawa.

Speaker 2 (01:14:58):
Man who likes to go swimming wearing his bl socks
an espuito richie el. Alright, so music to stand up

(01:15:22):
and stretch by there if you're sitting down of whatever
you're doing a little medium musical learnlude there, electronic dancing music,
gann lude. Do some exercises too. All right, Uh gosh,
where do we go from here? How about here? How
about let's go here, Let's go here? This is you

(01:15:43):
can't make this up. You can't make this up. So
moving away from the by the way, the National Guard
spotted there in DC. More people, more and more people
are spotting them. They've made twenty three arrests on the
first day. Being worried about Lewis Cassiano, Fox News. National
Guard troops were spot of Washington, DC on Tuesday, Brisidentald

(01:16:05):
Trumps cracked down on crime in the capitol. Blah blah blah,
so on so forth. MPD Chief Travelist Smith to leave
that effort to make sure that the men and women
who are coming from a federal law enforcement are being
well used. That there's a National Guard here. They're going
to be well used. Blah blah blah blah, et cetera,

(01:16:27):
et cetera, et cetera. They're saying the right things. Whatever.
National Guard troops seen leaving the DC Army on Tuesday morning.
Video footage captured military vehicles stationed on a streets, pedestrians
walk by it and all that. So Capital is basically
going to be militarized. They just of Columbia's home. U
lack allows Trump to play some matter pol police probably
not a federal control for thirty days. Trump evoked the
law on Monday. On the first day of the crackdown,

(01:16:48):
federal and local authoritized made twenty three resculing suspects wanted
for murder, gun offenses and other crimes. So they're basically
doing the job that for some reason the copsy can't
do or won't do, or who knows what's going on there,
but for some reason today happenings. So they're doing it.
And there you have, and they've been pretty successful so far.
So kind of hard argue with success. We'll see how
it goes. Chris can't be done forever, not to that

(01:17:10):
degree anyway, all right, So moving on, Uh, you can't
make this stuff Up, An anti jerry mandering watchdog group
announces its support for jerry mannering it's being born about
Daily Color News Foundation Melissa Roar. Common Cause, the government
watchdog group historically opposed to partisan jerry managing, announced Tuesday

(01:17:31):
that it will not oppose Blue states a push for
mid cycle redistricting, while criticizing Republican led efforts in Texas.
In a Tuesday policy stay in, Common Cause, which describes
itself as a non partisan grassroots organization dedicated to upholding
the core values of American democracy. Even though we're not
a democracy, we're a constitutional republic, declined to condemn redistricting

(01:17:52):
efforts in Democrat run states like California. At the same time,
the group accused President Trump and Republicans are pursuing and
calculated a metric strategy in Texas as part of a
broader march towards authoritarianism. Unquote, Democrat governor, California Governor Gavin
Newsom and other Democrat governors have threatened to redraw their

(01:18:12):
states and congressional maps the counter gop led redistricting effort
in Texas, and in fact, Gavin Newsom put some stuff
on social media kind of mocking the Orange Man, saying, well,
you know, there was there was a some sort of
time limit to kind of oppose this stuff, but that
went and passed, and we're doing it. Of course, how
much more can these people mean jerrymandered? It's it's crazy

(01:18:33):
how these states, including Texas, are jerry managers. It's just
wild GOP late redistioning effort in Texas that can hand
Republicans up to five additional seats in this grave quote,
in this grave moment, we understand why some states, including California,
are considering counterbalancing measures. In response, Common Cast said, in
this policy statement, we want on endorse partisan jerry mandering,
even when it's motives to all set more extreme jerry

(01:18:55):
managering by a different party. But a blanket condemnation in
this moment would amount to a call for unilateral political
disarmament in the face of authoritarian and efforts to under
mind fair representation and people powered democracy, even though we're not.
This marks a notable shift for Common Cause, which ran
a fundraising pop up on its website just last week
saying Newsom was attempting to copy the GOP's playbook to

(01:19:18):
boost his profile. According to Politico in July of the
group also called mid Cycle Democratic reader scheming attempts anti
democratic because the Dems were doing the two, not just
the pub not just the Repubs. And if you look
at Illinois, look at some of these gerrymandered places. Guys,
look at Maryland. What they did back into what was
it the twenty eighteen I believe they called it a pterodactyl.

(01:19:41):
It just looked really weird in there. I think they're
all wrong on it, but you know, they do it.
I remember when I was living in Texas there there
was a report about if the jurymandering that they were
doing held. Of course Republicans were leading it. That there
was just there was this one street where one guy
across the street would be in one district and the

(01:20:02):
guy on the other side the street would be in another.
And this kind of look, look, this kind of stuff
happens all the time, and even locally. I'll just briefly
share this with you in twenty and the two thousand
and four election now and the previous election, this is
twenty two thousand and four general election where we had

(01:20:24):
Baby Bush running against John Kerry. I remember that election, right,
A big question about Ohio and all that jazz anyway,
because of how the districts had been redrawn and this
and that and the voting thing and blah blah blah.
So the previous election cycle in twenty twenty two, I
went down to the community center, the recreation center, which

(01:20:47):
was literally walking distance from my house, had to cross
the bridge and the creek and there was you know,
like block and a half away, and that was at
the recreation center. Well, because the way things got kind
of drawn and re rigged in the two thousand and
four election, two years later, I drove about two or

(01:21:08):
three blocks away from my house and went to somebody's
house to vote more accurately their garage, and yeah, not
making this up. Went into the garage and there were

(01:21:29):
the voting booths. There was like, I don't know, six, seven,
five or six. The one I voted in was sitting
right next to the cat litter box, and that was lovely.
And the family was that got pegged, I guess tagged
or whatever to host this thing. However that work, I
don't recall exactly. They were very cordial. They had coolers

(01:21:50):
there with water now of course, and it was starting
to drizzle that day It was kind of a drizzly day,
and there was a line from from there going down
their driveway down the sidewalk. County deputies were there. There
was law enforcement there in the in in their yard
where it was. It was comical. There must have been

(01:22:11):
twenty signs for different people running for stuff I'm not exaggerating,
crammed in their yard. And this is a postage stamp lot. Okay,
this is a law that can be mode like fifteen
minute stops with a pushbower. Okay, having your kid do it.
These these are small. These are little tracked houses. I
mean you can literally walk out your front door and

(01:22:33):
spit on the house without much effort next to you. Okay,
these are little tracked homes. And uh this was a
I think a two bedroom tracked home, little single car garage. Again,
you can't make this up. And all this stuff crammed
in there. But the family the hosted it was cordial.

(01:22:54):
They had cookies, they had you know, little beverages. They
had water and the little you know, water bottles, a
little cooler this and that, and there were county officials
that were there. There were people there that Chris. Most
of them were standing out front there are people coming
in and out from the door that goes into the
garage with the main part of the house. And the
wife was very cordial and she was hanging out you
know again she was you could smell cookies baking. They
were being really I mean, it was nice, they were
being nice about it. But the comedy of this thing,

(01:23:15):
I was like, you've got to be kidding, mate. At
the time, I was working for Christian radio station there
in Power FM one or six seven power FM, City
of License, Austin Georgetown around Rock and I had to
talk about it on the air. It's like, you guys
won't believe this. And this was in South Austin, Texas.
You don't gonna believe this. Had to vote in somebody's

(01:23:36):
garage next to the cat litter box, which was, you know,
nice and smelly. You can't help that, you know, it's
what cat's got to go. And the cat was wandering
around and there, you know, just rubbing up against everybody's
leg as they were voting. You know, friendly cat at
least the cat was friendly, a very poopyish cat, but
very friendly, poopyish cat, you know what I'm saying. And
people rubbing it and you know, giving it treats, and

(01:23:57):
it was rolling around and being you know, it was
being if everybody was cool, everybody was friendly. But I thought,
you know, wow, you know, how strange and surreal can
this be? I'm voting in somebody's garage for the next
president anyway, But this is the kind of crazy junk
that happens, right, This is the kind of crazy junk

(01:24:18):
that happens. Now. This group is also on the losing
side in the twenty nineteen Supreme Court case Roots Will
Be Common Cause, in which it challenged that what it
called a partisan in a constitution North Carolina congressional map.
The court determined that the federal courts can not intervene
in partisan gerry mattering. So good luck. By the way,
the Democrats that fled Texas are coming back, most of them.

(01:24:41):
It looks like they're finally coming back where they're gonna be.
Whether they're gonna you know, how they gonna vote, or
they're gonna vote, or what's gonna happen, who knows, who knows?
It all goes on. They're saying, oh, this is just
it just unheard of Texas voting in a mid mid
mi census cycle cycle well, they're DEM's doing it too.

(01:25:04):
Everybody's come on, everybody's doing it. I'm not saying it's right,
but to sit there and say that one party's worse
than the other is you come on, they're all bad
because as I said on the last week's show, this
is all about keeping your gang your club. And these
are private clubs. Remember said, go back on the Star
gives they're they're they're Yeah, they're they're not, but they're clubs.

(01:25:25):
Go look at their websites. They're clubs. Basically, they're private clubs.
The Democrats and the Republicans they're private clubs. And the
Libertarians and the Constitutionalist Party and the Green Party in
this Joe Schmoe Party whatever, these are private clubs. Okay,
look at their websites. Look how they're set up. All right.
Uh so this is just this is just more of

(01:25:51):
the more of the same, more of the same. But
I just think that's funny in a way, sad, but
funny that these folks who are anti Jerry Man entering
now suddenly they're for it. It gives you their true
colors of what's really going on. Forget it, you know,
this is this is par for the course, this is
what happens. The deep state's going into a bit of

(01:26:15):
a panic mode, now, a bit of a panic mode.
They're having problems. They're having problems. Democrat whistleblower told the FBI. Boy,
they're hitting the FBI. Now, you know that just said
that Shift, Adam Schiff, shifty cheff okay leaking classified intel.

(01:26:40):
Did it on purpose to hurt the Orange man. FBI
Director Cashpbell has released bombshell documents Congress showing how agents
tradce classified leaks to sources. But the dj didn't act
Springport about John Solomon and Jerry Dunley by just a news.
A career intelligence solveser who worked for Dems on the
House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade, repeatedly warned

(01:27:01):
the FBI beginning in twenty seventeen, that was back during
Trump's tenure, that then Representative Adam Shift had approved leaking
classifight info to smear then President Donald Trump over the
now debunked Rushiagate scandal. Now, who's in charge of the
FBI in twenty seventeen, Well, in you see James Comey.
Then it was won mister Ray w r a y.

(01:27:24):
Why didn't they move on this. Okay, Ray was a Republican.
Uh I didn't move on this. Why didn't they move
on this? Why do they do something about this? Why
do they do something about this? No, they didn't. Chris
Ray didn't come. He didn't. Nobody did. Repeatedly warned the
FBI beginning in twenty seventeen that then Representative Adam Shift

(01:27:47):
had approved leaking, had approved leaking class fight information to
smear then President Donald Trump over the now debunked Rushigate scandal.
According to bomb Shall f PI memos that Director Cash
Pttel has turned over to Congress. And by the way,
there are folks that don't like the deep state. People
don't like that. And we'll get to that in just
a second. The FBI three zero two interviews it's called
reports obtained by just a News state that the intelligence

(01:28:09):
staff are a Democrat by party affiliation who described himself
as a friend to both a Schiff and now California
Center and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nuna's considered
the classifight leaking to be an ethical, illegal and treason
us but was told not to worry about it cause
she believed he would be spared prosecution. Under the Constitution's
Speech and Debate clause. See he can do it. The

(01:28:33):
publicly disclosed opinion from the Attorney General on the Solicitor
General can be found making that determination as a matter
of law. But officials told Just the News that DOG
officials showed little interest in pursuing the shift when the
allegations were brought to them years ago, citing the very
same excuse the law migrant offered. In his most recent
interview with the Bureau. In twenty twenty three, the whistleblower,
whose name is redacted, told agents from the FBI's Saint

(01:28:57):
Louis office that he personally attended a meeting in which
SHIFT Authorizley making classified information quote when working in this
capacity redacted as staffer's name was called to an all
staff meeting by shiff. The interview report said that was
all capitalized in this meeting, Shift all capitalized state of
the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to
President of the United States Styles J. Trump. Shift state

(01:29:17):
of the information would be used to indict President Trump.
Whistle blower told investigators that he stated this would be illegal,
and upon hearing the concerns on named members of the meeting,
reassured that they would not be caught leaking classified information.
Twenty twenty three. Interview reports said Staffer made similar claims
agents in the FBI's Washington Field officers at least twenty seventeen,
shortly after Trump took office for his first term. In fact,

(01:29:41):
the FBI interview reports were published there in the article.
You can check out the article and they're right there,
a Democrat Hpcbry HPSCIO staffer, FI interview notes stated the
day after the story published, Shift provided Just the News
with a comment, Cashel quote cash Mateil's a spear against
a senator. Shift is absolutely and categorically false, and it's

(01:30:04):
just the latest in a series of defamatory attacks from
the President and his allies meant to distract they're plummeting
poll numbers and the Epstein file scandal. Shift told Just
the News, so he's saying the whistleblower alive when I'll say,
these best spears are based on allegations that were found
to not be credible, and not credible and upstatiated from
a discredinal former staffer who was fired by the House

(01:30:25):
Intelligence Committee for calls in early twenty seventeen, including for
arrassment and potentially compromising activity on official travel for the committe.
Blah blah blah blah. Shift added even Trump's own Justice
Department and an independent spectral General found this individual to
not be credible. The allegedings fall outside the statute of
limitations prosecution on most legal theories, but the revelations neverthless,
come at a sense of time. For Shift, who recently

(01:30:47):
was referred to the Justice Department for a possible prosecution
for potential mortgage fraud based on a story first written
by Justin News. Officials also said some of the dog
officials who declined to prosecute a rational classified leagues during
the rushing gate of fees remain employed in positions of power.
It mattered that may be adventures to lawmakers in Congress,
which means they may have an agenda still that they're working.

(01:31:08):
Who knows for years certain officials use their positions to
selectively lead classified information to shape political narratives. Teltal just
The News on Monday. It was all done with one purpose,
to weaponize intelligence and law enforcement for political gain. Those
abuses wrote public trust in our institutions. He added, the
FBI will now lead to charge with our partners at

(01:31:29):
DOJ and Congress, will have the chance to uncover how
political power may have been weaponized and to rest oral accountability.
So if we previously served as a ranking member and
then the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence before ascending to the Senate, pushed false allegations of
the Trump Rush collusion for many years, the whistleblower began

(01:31:50):
approaching the FBI that same year, and one meeting the
Democratic HPSCI stafford told the FBI that retire Lieutenant General
Mike Flynn, Trump's first and annuntional securityvier sure was to
be a specific focus of the committee, punishing for duty
to law instead of party loyalty. The Democratic staffer who
alleged total former Republican colleague on the committee that he

(01:32:11):
was terminated because Shift staff did not believe he had
adequate party loyalty after he raised concerns about the leak strategy.
The FBI of Memos two show the whistle blower was
interviewed twice in twenty seventeen, least four times over six
years about the alleged Shift leaks, but just as Department
prosecutors declined to move forward, according to memos part of
a large production of documents Betel sent to House Judiciary Committee.

(01:32:33):
The memos are mostly FBI three h two Interview three
h two Interview reports. The memo section of three zero
two is to keep heard anyway, So take that out
of you will Was he lying or was he not?
Who's lying? We know Shift lies. I'm more inclined to
believe the whistleblower is telling the truth and Shift is
fibbing because he's been busting too many laws. I bust

(01:32:55):
them money lies on this show. I mean, it's laughable.
It's just laughing. The guy's mouth moving, he's probably lying.
He's a bitch. Minds of the guy on that at
least be an snl skit where that that guy was
always lying and he oh yeah, yeah, that's the ticket.
Yeah yeah, you know, that's that's basically Shift. It's it's uh,
it's it's almost hilarious if it weren't for the fact

(01:33:16):
that these people are, you know, running things and making
laws that the rest of us have to, uh have
to abide by. Now the deep state is in a
panic because of things like this X. National Security and
FBI officials have penned an open letter blasting NPI Director
Cash Matell over ongoing purge at the bureau could appear
part of a broader campaign to dismount the fbi is

(01:33:36):
long standing independence and recast its tool of flick attle. Well,
wait a minute, the FBI is not supposed to have
a complete independence. Okay. They were established by Congress and
they're under the authority of the president. Okay, they don't
just have complete independence to go do whatever they want,
whenever they want, whatever they feel like, to whoever they want,
whenever they feel like, andect with you know, any any accountability. Sorry,

(01:33:59):
let's that's not how our constitutional government works. Let's start
right there, folks. I'm getting tired of hearing that one
can to be completely independent. No, they don't. Absolutely, they
do not. Somebody's got to babysit these people because of
the propensie to abuse power and authorita. They're part of

(01:34:22):
the executive branch, which means the presidents are boss, and
it was Congress that established them. They weren't just launched
on a damp log by fungus anyway, This being part
about Jim Hoffagate Way Punnit A Caball, a former FBI
intelligence diplomatic and Nationals CURETA officials, many of them veterans
of the very same corub bureaucracies that spent years targeting

(01:34:43):
President Donald Trump and others. Has pen and angry open
letter attacking FPID Director Cash bertellent Deputy Director Dan Bongenio
for draining, for daring to drain the rotten ranks of
the of the bureau. The group, calling itself the steady
State that ought to be your first clue, the steady State.
You can't make this up, gang, you can't make this
up up, claims that the firing of agents Brian Driscoll,
Michael Feinberg and Walter Guardian probably a bunch of others's

(01:35:05):
nothing short of political revenge. According to these former officials,
the agents were outset for failing to toe the mag
of line, clearly ignoring the well documented record of the
FBI's webanization against a lot of folks. Firing Chempers for
teleban Genio carried a long overdue purge of corrupt partisans
from the bureau. Driscoll had served as acting AMPI director
before Ptel's appointment, while Giardinia played a role in the

(01:35:27):
sham January sixth Investigations and dismissile letter to Giardina Patel
didn't mince words. You have exercise poor judgment and a
lack of impartiality and carrying out duties leading to the
political weaponization of the government. Quote. The letter accused of
the administration's appointees of dismounting the FPI's long standing independence
and replacing him with political loyalty, as if the FBI

(01:35:50):
hadn't already spent years acting as the enforcement arm of
Democrat Party. It gets even better. The deep state crowd
claims for Teleban Gino don't meet basic standards to run
the FBI convenly forgetting the cap. Mattel is the same
national security bulldog who dismantled the Russia collision. Hoaks from
inside the Trump administration in Bongenio has decorated secret Service
as you need to spend decades protecting US presidents himself.

(01:36:11):
Lettery just follows an open letter to the men and
women of the FBI from the steady state, the steady
deep state. You can't make this up. Expressily support and
alarm over politicization and retribution to Purge Rachie is former
members of the US Intelligence, DIOMAG, Defense and National Security
Committees communities, probably the same ones that said they the
rush of the of the laptop from hell. Uh Hunter

(01:36:38):
Biden's laptop was Russian's information. You know, we have the
Statey State of non partisan group of professionals who have
served the CIA, FBI, State Department, Department of Defense, NSA, VHS. Oh,
the NSA, Yeah, they do that in there, people that
can read your emails without warrant and the uniform military. Together,
we have spent our careers upholding the constitution. Yeah right, yeah,

(01:37:02):
the NSA has done a great job of that. Let
let's let's do let's do warrantless searches of your email.
You know we can do it because we're the NSA.
Let's do let's let's let's let's that's the same FBI do.
The same folks get pressured, the same folks that pressured
Twitter and Facebook. And by the way, uh, the man

(01:37:24):
that that started Facebook finally confesses, yeah, well he did
it on I remember on h he did it on
the Joe Rogan Show.

Speaker 5 (01:37:32):
That.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
Yeah, they were getting calls from people in the White House,
getting calls from people from the f BAND, letters and
pressure to censor people who weren't, you know, towing the
narrative to censor people on FIA. Turned out they were
right on Facebook and Twitter and all these other social
media platforms that yeah there was a little more too,
the hunter byden laptop that it wasn't rushing his information.
Oh no, we can't have that going out. They were

(01:37:54):
leaning in basically censorship by proxy. These yeah, this this,
that's these folks. Okay, that's these folks. Say you fired
too many people deep yeah, we will lay you. The
other year, the same folks that we didn't like the
posts that were going on social media, same folks that
don't like folks like me. Let me tell you, I
promise you they don't like folks like me and others

(01:38:17):
an alternative media and doing podcasts that these folks don't
like anyway. Yeah, these folks are now whining. They're now
whining that some of their pals, some of their deep
state pals, insconsin these organizations that are we're doing in
the shadows censorship, They are doing warrantless searches, warrantless spying

(01:38:43):
on folks. Now they're going to suddenly claim some moral
high ground. Give me a massive break, I don't think so.
To our friends and colleagues in the bureau passing present,
we recognize the pressure you are under. We honor your
service and the sacrifices you've made quietly, honorably, all without recognition.

(01:39:04):
Who want you to know we stand with you? Uh huh.
Your integrity matters, but theirs doesn't. Your courage matters, but
there's doesn't. The nation's watching and will be inspired by
the FBI, and history will remember. Yeah, history of members
are right, and some of us remember, please go back
and listen to archives. When I was busting these people out,
when a lot of folks are busting these people out,

(01:39:25):
all right, When when when a lot of stuff was
being exposed, the garbage ENSA was doing warrantless you know,
the Biden administration in the FI leaning on some of
these uh social media sites about all sorts of stuff
that they didn't agree with, which is basically censorship by proxy.
Oh yeah, oh yeah. Ask Carter Patrick. He thinks about

(01:39:50):
what the FBI did by taking stuff about him that
would turn out to be completely bogus to the phis
A Court. And then one of the fires A Court
judges getting pretty mad and firing off a pretty tough
letter to the FBI about the bugust warrants they brought them.
Of course, show me the constitutional authority for a five
a court anyway, a secret court, a star chamber. We

(01:40:11):
were volted from that. The British had that, you know,
we re volted from that. Nonsense. Let's take a pause. Yeah,
this is laughable. This is laughable. Crooked bureaucrats, bureaucratic branch,
the fourth branch of government's not even constitutional that suddenly
it has appeared over the decades doing stuff, making their

(01:40:34):
own laws and violation of Article one of the Constitution,
put to under what's called the Chevron doctrine. Sorry, you
won't find the Chevron doctrine anywhere in the Constitution. Which
you find Article one is a bold statement that says
the only people that can make laws and the federal
government is Congress. Nobody else, not the President, not the courts,
not some bureaucrat penheads in an office. They call them

(01:40:57):
rules that have the force of law, Well, their law.
I don't care if you call them rules or are
call them good ideas. If you prosecute people for violating
your good ideas or your rules that have no basis
in a law that aren't even a law the Congress authorized.
I'm sorry, that's called tyranny. There's your tyrants sitting behind penheads,

(01:41:20):
sitting behind computers in the bowels of federal bureaucratic offices
that you never even heard of, that even existed, different
little departments you do know existed. I'm amazed at how
many times I talk about something going on in some
department that's either being drug in a court or some
scandal I didn't even know existed. It's like, how many

(01:41:41):
these departments do we have. I'm losing track. I can't
keep count. It's insane, and some of them need to
be shut down because I don't know what purpose do
they serve other than to aggravate people. What are they
really doing? There's another way we could save some money,
maybe put a time dent in our thirty seven trillion

(01:42:01):
dollar debt fort com. Buckle up.

I am Danny Ilo. You may know me as an actor,

of your life, and the condition of your life and
his How you can do that. You can recognize honestly

Speaker 2 (01:44:19):
All right, fire Wilsele Blower, like she cried during an interview,
I will't you here in a minute here, as she
says coworkers gave out fake licenses to legal immigrants. It's
being reported by Derek Van abuse Kirk. I think that right.
Daily caller Wisblower claimed she was fired after exposing her
coworkers for allegedly using her log in to issue licenses

(01:44:40):
to legal immigrants without passing a driver's test. How does
that work? And that according to local reporting, Melissa Moorman
worked as a clerk for the Department of Vehicle Registration
under the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, also as a KYTC.

Speaker 11 (01:44:57):
Or.

Speaker 2 (01:44:57):
She told WDRB and interviewed Tears that she liked her job.
Mormon told w DRB that she was previously approached with
an opportunity by those co workers for a business venture.
Quote unquote. Get that a business venture, she alled, your
co workers would issue a license to customers with fake
documents for a personal cut of two hundred bucks up

(01:45:19):
to five times a day for at least two years out.
According to WDRB, she said the undocumented workers were coming
to the office in groups. Let me chair the clip again.
This is from w DRB there in Kentucky and they
interviewed her and she's I understand, I'll be upset. She
got fired by the way. Uh, but there is ongoing

(01:45:43):
investigation of what I think she was probably wrongfully terminate.
I don't know, not a lawyer, but she probably might
have a pretty good case. But let me cheer this clip.

Speaker 19 (01:45:55):
The state didn't want this out fraud inside Kentucky's transfer
rotation cabinet licenses issued without a driver's test.

Speaker 7 (01:46:04):
It is an ongoing WDRB investigation, and tonight we hear
from a whistleblower who says coworkers used her logging to
pull off this scheme.

Speaker 11 (01:46:16):
Employees were being paid underneath.

Speaker 2 (01:46:18):
The table, they say, sometimes.

Speaker 11 (01:46:21):
I need to let my supervisor know about it.

Speaker 2 (01:46:23):
Truth hurts Did you ever think that this would cost
you your job?

Speaker 5 (01:46:26):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:46:26):
And from Melissa Mormon, I was angry for a long time.
This is one of those It hurts me that I'm
talking about this, And I actually liked where I was
working at times. I came in to the office that day,
my computer was shut down. I was told to go
to the front door. Detectives came in, they interviewed me.

Speaker 9 (01:46:45):
That was it.

Speaker 7 (01:46:46):
Mormon says. She was fired three months after she sent
this letter to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, blowing the whistle
that workers at the NIA Center licensing branch were selling
driver's licenses under the table to people who never.

Speaker 11 (01:46:59):
Took drivers, undocumented workers.

Speaker 4 (01:47:03):
How did it work? What was going on?

Speaker 11 (01:47:04):
The undocumented workers would come into the office in groups.
They would provide them either permits or driver's license illegally,
so they will bypassed without even second.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
That says how much?

Speaker 7 (01:47:18):
Up to five times a day? She says, Was this
an everyday thing?

Speaker 11 (01:47:22):
Almost?

Speaker 3 (01:47:23):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:47:24):
Yeah, every day, almost every day thing happening right there
in Kentucky, Right there in Kentucky, a red state, by
the way, right there in Kentuck, m H. Legal aliens
being given driver's licensees. That's form of idea. It's legal document. Okay,

(01:47:45):
there's laws about that, federal and state laws about you know,
just issuing legal documents improperly. Yeah, you you tend to
go to jail for a long time. We'll see. There's
an investigation going to the article that's ongoing. An internal
investigation is happening in that department. We'll see what happens.
She's followed a lawsuit against them, she's got an attorney

(01:48:08):
good for her, Probably gonna win, be my guest, you
never know, but probably so. And she was pressured by
her boss to give her colleagues her log in stuff.
That's usually a no. That's usually a red flag right there.
That's usually a no no. When you work for a
company and you're told, oh, get some and so your
log in and you have to be all right, Usually

(01:48:28):
that's frowned on in most companies. You don't do that
because it creates certain security problems of all different types
and other kind of problems and usually means something fishy's
going on anyway. So you've you've got that, and it's
all part of this exposure and we were in an
era of exposure, exposure, exposure, exposure, and it's happening. Hostility

(01:48:53):
against churches is growing as a growing trend here in
the US as a study finds hundreds of attacks on
you churches in twenty twenty four. Family Research councilor Board
documents four to fifteen hostile acts against US churches just
last year, being reported by Christine Parks Fox News that police,

(01:49:14):
the police, I do that slain Michigan church a shooting suspect.
What was the past weekend? That says his mother was
a parishioner in Michigan. Police identified that slain Gummy by
the way, if you're wondering about that who allegedly opened
fire at church and Wayne during his Sunday service as
Brian Anthony browning Man's name. His mother was a prisoner.
Authority said. Now hostility towards churches across the US remains

(01:49:36):
alarmingly high. That according to a new study from Christian
organization that attracted such incidents such incidents in twenty eighteen
and its annual Hostility against Churches report released Monday, the
Family Research Council documented at least a four to fifteen
hostile acts targeting three hundred and eighty three churches across
forty three states in twenty twenty four. While that figure

(01:49:57):
reflects a decline from the four and eighty five instance
still a law tract in twenty twenty three, is still
more than double the number of attack reported in twenty
twenty two, and nearly equal to the four hundred and
twenty total incidents the group discovered in its first report,
which spanned a fifty seven month period. The report relied
on publicly available data and found accumlative total of oneenty

(01:50:18):
tent and eighty four acts of hostility against churches from
January twenty eighteenth through December twenty twenty four. The group
acknowledge that this figure is likely higher due to cases
unreported law enforcement or by the media. Prissers leaving at
churches sometimes see graffiti covered sidewalks pressures. The fact of
Parting Sunda Mass October eight, twenty twenty two, saw this

(01:50:41):
vandalism was the leading offense against the churches that would
be This, by the way, was after the Supreme Court
overturned Roe v. Wade Catholic Diocese of Lansing. They reported
that vandalism was a leading offense against churches two hundred
eighty four, followed by arson fifty five, gun related instance
twenty eight, bomb threats fourteen, and other instances of assault,
threats or disruptions forty seven. On average, there were thirty

(01:51:03):
five attacks against US churches each month in twenty twenty four.
This is in the US, this is in Syria. We
can kind of sort of expect that. Okay, this isn't
in Iraq, this isn't even in Israel. This is in
the US, gang the United States, where we've got that

(01:51:23):
freedom of religion thing inscons in our Bill of Rights,
first part of the First Amendment. Right, Yeah, just so
you understand what we're talking about. They're port highlighted several
instances where churches were targeted by repeated vandalism or acts
of arson that caused devastating financial losses. Southern Ohio, for example,
four churches and two adjacent counties were targeted by arsen

(01:51:44):
and completely destroyed. We're dourning church buildings, which that is
in a church, as we know, it's just a building.
Gun related but nevertheless, gun related instance where the only
category to see a notable increase in twenty twenty four.
More than doubling compared to the prior year. That's a
bad trend. Pro bush and motivated incidents fell from fifty
nine in twenty twenty two, when some churches faced attacks

(01:52:05):
due to the U. S. Supreme Court or turning movie Wade,
to just two and twenty twenty four. In fact, the
front door of San Bernard Catholic Church in Madison, WI
was Canson was vandalized with pro abortion graffiti on Sunday,
July third, twenty twenty two. That was reported by a
Fox forty seven in Madison if you ever look that up.
The reports authors clarified that anti Christian hostility wasn't always

(01:52:26):
the motivating factor behind violence, but the report suggested that
declining church attendance and cultural shifts away from Christianity may
be contributing to that environment where attacks on churches are
more tolerated. Probably less reported US church attendants fell from
forty two percent to thirty percent over the past two decades. Weole,
with Christianity seemingly losing influence and respect in American life
and fewer people feeling emotionally or spiritually connected to churches,

(01:52:47):
there may be less societal pressure to discourage would be
criminals from targeting churches. The FRC report no that that's
probably true. If February, President Donald Trump issued an executive
order entitled Eradicating Any Christian Bias that created a task
forced to investigate in hall discrimination against Christians by the
federal government, the existence of such an order shows that
even the federal government has taken notice of the growing

(01:53:09):
trend of hostility against US churches, the FRC reported. The
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, who served as chairman
of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, said that
in a statement of Oxing's digital quote, religious freedom is
seldom handed to the passive. It is acclaimed by those
who exercise it, even when a hostile culture says they
may not. This report clearly shows religious freedom faces substantial

(01:53:33):
threats here at home anyway. There's been an he says,
there's been an intentional spreading of hostility towards Christian faith
throughout every corner of America. He blames some of this
on the woke movement, so called it's hostility towards Christian
faith throughout every corner of America. We applaud the efforts

(01:53:54):
of the administration, but efforts must be taken every level
of government to protect and promote this fundamental human right.
Christians must expect and demand morphrom the government leaders when
it comes to prosecuting and preventing criminal acts targeting religious freedom.
And I've said these are these are increasing, and I've
noted that they've been increasing for a number of years
and that they will continue to increase. I've sounded the
alarm on this show add nauseam ad infinite and for

(01:54:17):
a long time that if you are a Christian, the
target on your back is growing. Here we are, and
it's continuing to grow in many ways. Now some ways
are more subtle than others. But understand the time of day,
and and and the error in which you're living in.
Even in this country, Okay, even in this country, it's

(01:54:38):
getting worse. I'm going to close with this. An animator
who used to work for Disney has moved on this
being ported by Lauren Wickenhousert Western Journal dot Com. The
chair clip here in a minute animator walked away from
a dream job when Disney started going woke. Now he's
drawing people to Jesus. Tom Bancroft was living the animator's dream.

(01:54:58):
He was a veteran multiple Disney anime, a multiple Disney
animator of hits, having worked on Beauty and the Beast, Poconnas, Laddin,
even designing lead characters like Moushu the Dragon and Mulan
and Young Simba the Lion King. Right around the year
two thousand, he was off with a job as lead
animator on that year's Big Disney feature film project, but

(01:55:19):
rather than take the promotion, Bancroft walked away. Now this
is as Disney was starting to go a little woke.
His reason for living was his growing Christian faith and
the realization that Disney was already drifting away from the
wholesome family values that had once been synonymous with I
honestly saw the direction Disney was going in all the
way back to the two thousand and I felt very

(01:55:40):
uneasy about it, and Bancroft told Christian Broadcasting Network The
Trey Gowayn's Phillip Show. At that point, my faith was
mature enough I think for me to go okay, I
don't need to stay here, even though this is my dream.
God gave me a drew dream, he said. He moved
to the Big Idea Entertainment to work on Veggie Tales,
a series of animated Bible stories narrated and acted out

(01:56:03):
by anthromorphies, tomatoes, cucumbers, and his baracause. You might remember
that he said, I was about to be a lead
animator on Leelo and Stitch, and I gave that up
to work with the veggietails. He laughed in the eyes
of the Second World. It was considerable demotion from his
work at the House of Mouse, but there was a
silver lining for Bancroft his Honestly, I just saw vegetails

(01:56:24):
as this bright and shining light. Let me shu she
hear some of this interview. I can't play the whole
thing for copyright purposes. Let me get it, get it
pulled up here for you, and this is on CBN.
But you know how woke Disney's been going ever recent years.
I think the guy's probably glad that seems to be
glad that he left and he's actually now working on

(01:56:44):
a project where he's animating Jesus and drawing people to Christ,
working on a project to the little draw probably kids
and young folks and even grown ups, because grown ups
watch cartoons. Don't say you don't don't act like you don't.
You know you watch cartoons. In fact, a lot of
the missus all now were watched some old Foghorn Laghorn,
those Mary Melody cartoons from back in the sixties. We

(01:57:05):
were watching some of it in the late fifties. We
were watching some of those just just the other day,
just for something to just you know, be at learningtaining.
While we had our dinner, I said, I'm tired of
you know, I need a break from the news. I
want to be talking about tomorrow on the show. She
gets sick of it, I said, you know, and they're
talking about crazy looney tune characters on the news. Anyway,
Let's just watch the looney tune characters that they can
make us laugh, that are going to not really do

(01:57:26):
us too much harm, right, So we started watching some
looney tune stuff and had a blast doing that. But
let me lea you here a portion of this clip.

Speaker 12 (01:57:34):
But so went to cal Arts, which is a school
in California that teaches animation, was one of the only
ones at the time and founded by Walt Disney himself,
And so fast forward got through that got into Tarzan.
A bunch about eight feature films and three or four
shorts all in that span of about twelve years, and

(01:57:56):
then later on it came back and worked on Brother Bear.
That was my last Disney film, but rose up the
ranks as an animator and then a supervising animator and
just was blessed to get the opportunity to design Mushu
the Dragon for Mulan. But I also animated Young Simba
and Pocahontas, Roger Rabbit, a bunch of others. Yeah, so

(01:58:18):
it was a real blessing. But I felt the calling
through those years. It was becoming more and more of
a situation where I felt a calling and it got
very loud that calling.

Speaker 2 (01:58:30):
I was able to dodge it.

Speaker 12 (01:58:31):
From time, unfortunately, but I think it got very loud
in the two thousands and about year in two thousand
and the year two thousand, I broke away from Disney,
and I felt like I knew exactly where I needed
to go, and that was big idea, And so I
worked on Veggie Taels for a couple of years and
pulled away from Disney right at the height because I

(01:58:54):
just supervised Mushu, and I was about to be a
lead animator on Leland Stitch, and I gave that up
up to go work with vegetables, and so that began
a new career on vegetails for a few years, and
they ended up going bankrupt. But I started the Larry
Boy to the animated series there and did that and

(01:59:15):
directed those four or five videos, worked on both feature
films and a few other of the like Esther some
of the other vegetail stuff you probably remember when you
were a little boy. Yeah, and then the really did
happen toward the end of my years at Disney. It
was why I left Disney, honestly, and it's a long story,
so I'm kind of jumping past it a little, but

(01:59:37):
I honestly saw the direction Disney was going in back
all the way back in two thousand and I felt
very uneasy about it. And so at that point my
faith was mature enough, I think for me to go, Okay,
I don't need to stay here. Even though this is
my dream, I'm gonna I'm gonna, you know, there's another.

(01:59:57):
God gave me a new dream. Honestly, I just saw
vegietales as this brought bright and shining light, even though
it was creatively kind of a step down for me.
I honestly, you know, because you know, I'm going from
Disney to you know, vegetables with no arms.

Speaker 18 (02:00:11):
And legs jumping around.

Speaker 12 (02:00:14):
But you know, but what the passion behind it was
the hearts of every employee there. I really wanted to
be a part of. And it was addicting, and we
got to for the first time. I showed up on
their door and we're praying in front of it at
the beginning of the meetings, you know, And I just
left a studio where I couldn't talk about my faith
in the hallways, and.

Speaker 2 (02:00:35):
That's the Disney got got like that we couldn't even
talk about his faith in the hallways, and that he
was a Christian. That's that. So where Disney's going anyway,
And then he went on and again I can only
play a portion of the video, but he went on
in the both the article and video to say, you know,
he's working on new projects and he's actually having to
you know, draw the face and Jesus in the eyes
of Jesus. Now that was challenging because you're the eyes
are the window of the soul and all that. So

(02:00:57):
he's doing what he wants to, but he's now doing
it for the Lord and ultimately drawing people towards Christ.
So that's an amazing story and I wanted to share
that with you. How even if you're in the middle
of a situation where you know, maybe you're at a
particular job, or you're or maybe you're doing your calling,
but so to speak, or what you're gifting so to speak,
and you're you're doing what the Lord has gifted you

(02:01:19):
to do, but you feel like, man, there's something here
that's missing. Pray about it. Maybe the Lord's got something
else kind of open for you. Uh. There's an old
Dallas home song that says, when I'm giving my age here,
when God closes a door, look for a window. And
sometimes when one door closes, he may think, oh my gosh,
But sometimes that's the way of the Lord directing you

(02:01:40):
to where he's now wanting you to go. He'll he'll
shut something down and on the service and look like, man,
this is just this is a bummer. What am I
going to do? He'll be unemployed here, I'm losing his job.
But the Lord's shutting one thing down and actually scooching
you if you'll let him and have faith over into
something else. And then it takes takes an act of
faith to leave of faith when that happens, and yours truly,

(02:02:00):
it's interesting that that I've been in those situations myself
where the Lord was definitely shutting a door and I'm thinking, okay,
now what Lord, and then boom, he scooched me into
something else that was in the end going to be
a greater blessing for me. And it's like, oh, okay,
and more opportunity and more chance to learn and more
chance to chance to grow, and on and on. And
I've seen that happen in my life numerous times. I'm

(02:02:23):
sure some of you have too. But if you're in
a situation like that, a job situation especially where like well,
you know, this is the grip path of chosen, really
feel good whatever you know, whatever's that you're doing, but gosh,
you know, this place is just becoming you know, it's
becoming some anti Christian and they're threatened to fire me
and this and then blah blah blah, Chris, stand from
your faith. And if they fire you, okay, then you
might be able to see them. Who knows, But then

(02:02:43):
perhaps that means that the Lord is getting you out
of there to put you into a place where you're
going to be greater utilized by him. So don't always
look at the glass half empty. Look at it as
maybe half full. That the Lord may have something greater
for you in mind. Okay, And you can even look
at biblical examples of that. So the Lord has a

(02:03:05):
way of taking that which looks on the surface to
be a tragedy or you know, a real downer, but
he has this way of flipping it around and making
it a positive. Remember, Scripture says all things work together
for good for them that love the Lord. In other words,
if you're saved, you're one of God's kids for sure,
then everything is going to work together for good for you,

(02:03:25):
even though it may look pretty grim on the surface
and may look like, well, boy, this is the end.
Not necessarily, it may be the Lord's way of popping
open another opportunity or flipping the situation around. A lot
of times when that happens, the Lord gets real quiet.
And I'm kind of in a situation like that right
now myself, where the Lord's kind of got to look

(02:03:45):
quiet on mean, well, not entirely, but whispering a little
more softer than normal. Sometimes that means that the Lord's
about ready to put on a show. Lord's a little
bit of a show off. Let's be honest. I mean
what he did there at the Red Sea that you
knowretty while right, so he doesn't mind. I mean, look
at lookout into a telescope. Look at the stuff that's
in the universe. I mean, there's galaxies that we'll probably

(02:04:08):
never visit well in this life, that are way out there.
I was watching the show that talked about this video
on YouTube's talked about where this one scientist had discovered
in this one little pocket of the in this one
little tiny square in the sky, shall we say, through
this electromagnetic or whatever telescope that's just across the border
from the old dominion here into in West Virginia greenback

(02:04:34):
things called the Greenback Observatory, one of these big giant
electro whatever electronic telescope deals found this little hole, so
to speak, in the milky Way where you can look
through without all the other lights astrating hum and what
a lot of people thought were what they were looking
at were stars. A lot of those stars are not stars.

(02:04:56):
But it's tens of thousands, maybe more than that of
gas sees he's been points of lights aren't stars or galaxies.
Why would the Lord have just ten thousand galaxies out
there for he's showing off. I mean, just let's be on.
But he can do that. He's God, right, I mean,
you know, he's a bit of a show. So if
he can make ten thousand galaxies just to show off

(02:05:18):
for you know, some old astronomer to be gazing out
of one night while he's drinking his dog Doctor pepper
and eating some cheetos, I mean, what can he do
in your life? Okay? Is my point. He could do
some pretty miraculous, wild, crazy things in your life too. Okay.
If he can do that for just to show, you know,
just to say that I did it, what can he
do in your world? You see what I'm saying. So

(02:05:41):
the god who creates just wild stuff in the heavens,
which declares this cripture says, declares his glory, can he
do cool things like that in your world?

Speaker 10 (02:05:51):
Right?

Speaker 2 (02:05:51):
He can't? So just keep that in the back of
your mind. So I want to end on a real
up note on that. All right, So whatever you're going through,
he's got it under control, and he knows what you need.
He knows what's needed, and he can do it as
long as you're focused on him, curl up to him,
cuddle up to him. Do you truly know him? All right?

(02:06:13):
Do you truly know him? Does he know you the
way he does know you?

Speaker 5 (02:06:17):
But do.

Speaker 2 (02:06:19):
You know him? Have you accepted Christ? I'm talking about
the Jesus of the Bible as revealed in scripture, in
the Gospels, in the Old Testament and New Testament. You
got to come to the Lord as he has been
revealed in scripture. Because there's false Gospels and false Jesus
is out there. Come to the one that's revealed in scripture.
That's the Jesus you need. Let's call it tonight. Be

(02:06:43):

Always take care of your loved ones, and remember God
