on it, because that ain't it. It's something different. Update
on Harry Kane Aaron last I checked here, and of
course this maybe old news by the time some of
you are listening to this, but that's okay. It may
not be. It looks like the outer banks North Carolina

(02:07):
coastline might be kind of in the not the target
of this thing, but we'll get the outer rain bands,
maybe in wind bands and all that, and it's supposed
to push in some pretty significant tide so that there
will be some coastal flooding, inland coastal flooding. They're telling
everybody to kind of get checked out of the way
down there in the outer banks and Cape Patterson all

(02:28):
that to move on out of the way because there
could be some pretty significant tides rip tides and currents
and things, so it's going to make it quite dangerous.
And also it's looking like they're a little concerned about well,
the del Marva Peninsula and kind of about the coastline
there just north of North Carolina, that Chesapeake Bay area

(02:50):
there Virginia. So those places not necessarily going to be
hit by that they're not expecting. They're still saying areon's
not going to make a direct landfall anywhere, but the
outer bands of this thing are very likely to maybe scrape,
if you will, some of the coastlines as it moves up.
But they're saying's supposed to arc outward into the North
Atlantic and then, you know, usually where these hurricanes go

(03:13):
is kind of that's kind of their graveyard, so to speak.
So hopefully that's what will happen, and there won't be
much damage other than just some inland coastal flooding and
the Carolinas and maybe the del Marbre Peninsula, but that
hopefully that's that'll be the end of it. It was
Cat five, a very powerful Cat five, one of the
most powerful ones they'd ever registered there for a while.
Of course, you know when I'm telling you, is no

(03:34):
no consolation of places like Bermuda and all that, and
those who are out there on the waters and boating vessels,
shipping vessels and so forth. Of course they take evasive
actions to kind of avoid these things. But still, you know,
sometimes you get caught up in it. So but that's
the latest on that, on that on Hurricane erin, boy

(03:58):
it never fails. Would I have nicknamed low Down County
Virginia also known as Loudun County Virginia never fails, never fails.
Here we go again. It's like they haven't learned their lesson.
Haven't learned their lesson? So boys now suspended for complaining

(04:22):
that school allowed girl in their locker room. How dare
they complain that a girl was in their locker room
as ad some of that male privileged kicking in convicted
by a school of sexual harassment and sex based discrimination.
Not the girl with the camera, not the girl with
the smartphone videoing the boys, the boys that complained about

(04:46):
her in their videoing the boys. Yea, This being imported
by Bob Bunew World It Daily. I know, it's an
upside down world in which we live, and scripture says
that when you come to a time in a nation
where they call good evil and evil good, that's a
nation that's poised for judgment, and that's actually the beginnings
of judgment to some extent. It's gonna throw that out there.

(05:09):
In a scenario that could only come from the upside
down world of transgenderism, a school has suspended two boys.
There was actually three that complained, but we'll get to
that in a minute. Why one of them got off
the hook, which I think is kind of interesting, has
suspended two boys who complained that the girl was allowed
into their locker room. That's right, a girl goes into
a boys' locker room and in fact violates school rules

(05:30):
and actually law by recording video recording on her smartphone
the boys complaining about her presence. So the boys get suspended,
not the girl for barging into a boy's locker room
or hanging out a boy's locker room with her smartphone
illegally recording them. By the way, although school board says,

(05:54):
well it wasn't that big of a deal, it really
wasn't that illegal because they weren't incompromising. In other words,
they had their clothes on for the most part. I
mean they weren't naked with their how do I say
they're junk hanging out? I don't know how to put it.
That's right. A girl, A girl goes in there and
does that, and she's as of right now not being

(06:15):
suspended or at the moment anyway. By the way, the
details are reports. You can find also a red state
as well if you want to go there. But anyway,
it's once again an election year, so let's hope voters
are paying attention. Here's the deal. There was reported Loudon
County Lowdown County Public Schools as I call them, the
LCPS was weighing a Title nine investigation against three male

(06:37):
students at Stonebridge High School after they complained about a
biological female student using the boy's locker room. Dare they
don't only need did the girl use a locker room
that doesn't align with her biological sex as is required
by an executive order signed this year by President Trump.
She also used her phone to record a video while
in the boys locker room, which is a violation of

(06:59):
lcps's his own student privacy policy. By the way, not
just state law, the report explained. The report went on
to say, if you're wondering what happened to the third boy,
well hold on to your hats for this. The report
seemed to indicate that the Title Line investigation against him
was dropped. Could it be because he's Muslim? A dismissal

(07:23):
letter sent to the boy said the complaint must be
dismissed from the Title nine grievance process because the conduct
alleged went not constitute sexual harassment as defined by the
Title Line regulations, even if proved. Okay, so they kept
this kid some slack. But the other two I don't know.
Were they Christians? Were they Atheists? Were they Jews? I
don't know. Port doesn't say who knows? Will be religious

(07:45):
discrimination going on here? I don't know. See that's the thing.
This really opens up a big can of worms. And
the report there have been and according to the Port,
there have been no repercussions for the girl thus far,
who violated school policy but taking a video in a
protected space unquote. With the schemes, school officials have expressed
their intention to fight the President of the United States

(08:07):
and his effort to secure students safety and schools or
see them losing federal funding. Now. Ian Pryor, a low
Down County resident and senior advisor at America First Legal,
explained to Red State that the school is doing its
best to guarantee that the Supreme Court decisively ends he's
insane interpretations of Title nine and the Equal Protection Clause,

(08:28):
which a lot a lot of critics have said that
they're they're stretching this way out of proportion. That the
time that Title nine of the Civil Rights Act came
into being, there wasn't that there was not an interpretation
poured into that of protecting quote unquote this kind of
behavior of girls having a right to be in boys
locker rooms or boys having a right to be in

(08:49):
girls' locker rooms, or girls having a right to use
boys bathrooms or boys having a right to use girls bathrooms.
You see what I'm saying. In fact, quote transgender rights
case is now pending before the Court that questions in
the case include whether Title line prevents a state from
consistently designating girls and boys sports teams based on biological
sex determined by at birth, and whether the Equal Protection

(09:12):
Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment even prevents the state from
offering the separate boys and girls sports teams based on
biological sex determinive birth. So there's some of that play here. Insane,
absolutely insane. Of course, the parents are upset. Let's hear

(09:33):
a clip from this is the local Fox five affiliate there,
Fox's affiliate there in that region of low Down County,
as I like to call it. It's like they just
don't get it, dude. It's like they're not learning their lesson.
They've been down these roads before and it didn't work
out real well for it, and in fact, probably cost

(09:57):
mccauliffe the gubernatorial election. This is probably why we have
the governor and the communist wealth of Virginia that we have.
Youngkin was in part because this, and and you might
recall mccauliffe doubled down on some of the craziness that
was going on in the schools. It was okay in

(10:18):
his mind, you know, some of the DEI stuff, uh,
the the the the crazy history stuff that was being taught,
critical race theory, all that, and then this kind of
nonsense going on. So he was like, you know, he
was all good with it. And there was no way

(10:41):
Youngkin could could have won the gubernatorial election. Had not
a few folks in Northern Virginia, which is of course
the region of low Down County, Fairfax, all of that
Fairfax County. Al Uh that there's no way because that
place is just so dominated by Dems. There's no way
that he could have won had independent And it's in
some Dems not crossed over and voted for him because

(11:02):
the math doesn't work. I mean, I mean some of these,
some of these precincts up there in counties and so forth,
I mean they out number Repubs two and three to one.
I mean, it's just it's just these are just strong, strong,
iron iron strong Democrat enclaves. A lot of federal government
workers and all that live in that region. Uh, some

(11:22):
are drifting down here to my part of the state,
but the majority live or retirees of the federal governments
over live in Northern Virginia. It's nice there, I mean,
nothing wrong with it, but it's it's uh, it's it's
run by Dems. I mean, the Republicans are way way
small minority there. Let me let you hear this clip,
and this is again from the Fox five affiliate in

(11:45):
that region, Northern Virginia.

Speaker 5 (11:46):
Region to night at Alaludin County School ward meeting.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
The controversy always seem to happen to that title.

Speaker 7 (11:52):
Nine investigation into three high schoolers Fox fives.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
Judior john enjoins us from Ashbourne tonight to explain I.

Speaker 8 (11:59):
Julie Hey the meeting room, it was full to capacity.

Speaker 9 (12:02):
In fact, there was actually a.

Speaker 8 (12:03):
Long line out here trying to get in. As the
meeting got underway. There were one hundred and thirty that
were signed up for public common one hundred and seventeen
of them were in person, and because of that large number,
they were limited to just one minute apiece. Now, the
board chair issued ahead of the public comment section a
very stern and lengthy reminder to follow the code of conduct,
no naming names of students, of employees, or any personal tax.

(12:26):
And that was the points of contention throughout the evening.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
We spreme Gorge said in the early seventies.

Speaker 8 (12:36):
Now the dispute centers are on Policy eighty forty, adopted
in twenty twenty one, which allows students to use bathrooms
and locker rooms of their choice based on their gender identity. Now,
some parents are calling for the policy to be revoked,
pointing to a Curtrent investigation involving three male students while
they are accused of sexually harassing a transgender student who

(12:56):
is biologically female but identifies as male, who recorded video
inside the boys' locker room after gym class. Now, the
video begins with the dark screen. As the student enters,
voices can be heard questioning why is there quote a
girl in the locker room, and one student says that
he feels quote unquote uncomfortable. Now, at that point, the
student recording turns on the camera where you can see

(13:18):
the students. And while it is illegal to record video
inside locker rooms and LCPS official says, no one appeared
in a compromising position in the footage, so it does
not violate anyone's privacy. My parents came out tonight to
share their concerns.

Speaker 10 (13:33):
This school system has failed everybody. You know, the policy,
you know. Look, if you look at the facts, who
felt safe in that situation? The answer is no one.
And that's going to be my message tonight. No one
felt safe, no one felt respected, and no one left
that locker room with their dignity intact.

Speaker 7 (13:50):
Where the line is drawn between where the kids' rights
and privacies are being violated versus which policies are trying
to be enforced. And so we're really just trying to
defy where that's at because we feel like, especially for
our children, that their rights are being taken away because
of these policies.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Of course, and that's what happens with these insane, woki jokey,
ridiculous socialist Marxist policies that have and the policy makers
and the people who have ensconced your school boards. Now,
a lot of these people have been thrown out in
recent years, and there's an election coming around a corner
down here, and there's I suspect some folks maybe out

(14:29):
of jobs again. But this is the insanity that has
gripped public schools in this nation and low Down County
for a long time. For a few years now, I've
talked about it on this show. At Noisey Matt Infinitem
has been a ground zero place where a lot of
this stuff, a lot of this battling has taken place,

(14:51):
and parents have had about enough, and a lot of
parents are taking their kids, jerking their kids out of
these school districts and out of the school systems, homes
schooling them, sending them to private and parochial schools, because
some of the stuff ends up in private schools too.
I mean this, private schools are just bad, but the
odds are that they're not. They're a little more sane
in most cases, so they're they're losing. And it's not

(15:14):
just here, dang, I mean, this is this kind of craziness,
of course, is happening across the country. Parents are pushing back.
I find these school board meetings a joke. Well, well
you couldn't n h yeah, well there was Supreme Court
case and address this kind of stuff. Actually, uh so that, yeah,
let's just crunch people's First Amendment rights while we're at

(15:34):
it too, being that that with wonderful socialist communist Marxists,
that we want to be running your schools with our
little agendas for your kids. And this is this insanity.
I mean, this is insane. I don't know what. I
don't know what kind of crack or weed these people
are smoking on the school board. And I don't know

(15:57):
if the beginning of the school board meaning it's kind
of like, oh man, this is good stuff here, pass
it to the left. Oh yeah, I don't care what
kind of parents coming here screaming that's good stuff. I mean,
I don't know if that's what's going on or not
behind closed doors before they you know, throw the curtain up.
I don't know. But parents have had enough. Parents have

(16:23):
had enough. And of course you're ever increasing tax dollars,
especially the property tax dollars, which are pretty stiff in
Northern Virgia, paying for this. You're paying for the insanity.
Homeowners in Northern Virginia are paying for this insanity here
in the Communist Wealth of Virginia. Why do not call
the communists wealth of Virginia. Well, here's why. One of

(16:43):
the reasons we're commonwealth. I don't know what that. I
know what that legally used to mean back in the
day when Virginia was a calling and that became a state.
It's a whole different meaning. Now what do I call
the communists wealth? Well, let me just give you one reason.
Remember when mom Donnie came out a few weeks back

(17:04):
and said, you know, he thinks that the grocery stores,
or at least some of them, should be government owned. Well,
see here in the Communist Wealth of Virginia are liquor
stores are government owned. That's right. The VABC stores Virginia
Altolck Beverage Commission. That's right. If you want to buy
booze legally, that is to say, whiskey, you know, hard

(17:27):
liquor whatever, you go to the Virginia owned store to
buy it. That's right. You just can't go to Joe's
liquor store down the street. Now you got to go
to a Virginia VABC liquor store to buy your booze.
Of course, you have other things in they're like chips

(17:48):
and snacks and mixers, and now you can buy wine
and beer at the regular grocery store or Walmart whatever.
That's true. But if you want the harder stuff, you know,
the liquor, the harder alcohol, well you you got to
go to a Virginia government owned store. Well why do

(18:08):
they do that, Well, because that way they're guaranteed that
the tax revenues, they're gonna get every penny of it
because it's right there at the exchange level. I mean,
it's right there when it's paid barrel over the head
by you know, the customer that's buying the booze, they
don't have to track it down. And this emerged from
the days of you know, the moonshine running and all that.
In fact, I'm sitting just a little way south of

(18:28):
a county known as Franklin County, just a little south
of there. That's where I'm sitting. That was considered and
maybe still is the moonshine capital of the world at
one point. And all these whiskey brewers up here, and
of course regulators and revenuers and everybody came in and
came after him, and blah blah blah, you are founding
fathers here in this state. A lot of them brewed

(18:50):
their own whiskey. George Washington brewed whiskey. He grew hemp too.
Did you know that?

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, would not the kind of your smoke. It's kind
of make rope with. But one of his biggest cash
crops was hemp. And then he'd brewed a lot of whiskey. Yeah,
And they said back of the day it was good stuff.
I'm not a whiskey connoisseur. I couldn't tell you. I
don't know. I don't drink whiskey. I don't drink mixed drinks.

(19:17):
They don't agree with me, just to put it frank
uh and I but you know, I'm not I'm not
here to promote uh binging on alcohol either. I don't
think scripture says don't drink. I can't find the verse
that says al shalt not drink alcohol. What I find
is don't be a drunk, don't be given too much wine, Okay,

(19:39):
don't be don't don't be a boozehead. I would say
that if you have alcoholism running in your family, you
should probably avoid the stuff because there's a good possibility,
maybe a high propensity, that you will end up suffering
the addiction of alcoholism, which is a terrible disease, and
his chronic progress has been fatal if you don't deal

(20:00):
with it. So that kind of runs in a lot
of folks's family. And I would say probably if you
are a significant Native American herod heritage, might be a
good idea to avoid the stuff as well, all right.
And I'm saying that as someone of Native American heritage,
a lot of Native American heritage large amount, So you know,

(20:22):
it's just probably a good idea for many of us
to just stay away from it, all right. But does
that give governments the right to start, you know, should
governments own tobacco shops? Is that next. But see that's communists.
Where a government owns an entire virtually an entire section

(20:44):
of an industry. I mean they own it, okay, but
retail it to the public. You get me. That's what
communists do. That's very communistic. So for a state to
pretty much own the liquor stores, to own a whole
segment of an industry outlaw any private competition, well, that's

(21:09):
communism by its purest definition. That's why if you're wondering
one of the reasons there's there, I got others. One
of the reasons I call this the communists wealth Virginia.
That's somebody maybe saying, why don't you move? Well, it's
got a lot of good sides too. In spite of
the you know, the communism, there's there's some good things.

(21:33):
Go to break costs of living in a part of
the state. I'm AT's some pretty dead gum cheat. I
live in Missizzilla, has family in the region. So do
I part a lot of reader, We got more to
come hanging tide.

Use only as directed. Now here's your host, richieol.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Now this isn't just the craziness going on in the
public schools. Is it just limited to the you know,
high school of grade school levels?

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (23:53):
No, In fact, it permeates pretty much all of our education,
much of our education system, even just overall US academy
colleges college level. This stuff is in college level. The
socialist Marxist communists amania is in college level being protted
by Bob Unworld. It daily. US academia now so corrupt

(24:16):
it's even harming liberal college students. Conscial Expert says, on
some issues, such as the nature of gender and gender identity,
students actual beliefs are quite different from what appears to
be prevailing orthodoxy on campus. Con Social Expert has cited
the results of research by Northwestern University to warn that

(24:37):
American academia, American academia, the colleges, the universities, their teachers
and administration have become so corrupted, that they are hurting
even liberal students. Are you with me? Let me continue
the trend for those elite communities to become more and
more leftists, not under the left right thing. He because's

(25:00):
kind of meaningless these days. But you know, I'm just
reading what's written along has been documented, but the new
findings by researchers Forrest Rahm and Kevin Waldeman released the
stunning confirmation that an astounding eighty eight percent of graduates
at surveyed schools confirmed they pretend to hold more progressive
views than they truly endorsed to succeed socially or academically,

(25:23):
in other words, social pressure from other students of professors.
So they played along with well, okay, yeah, the emperor
is wearing nice new clothes even though he's naked. See
what I'm saying, it's just pressure. You gotta stand up though.
You can't buckle under social pressure, peer pressure. You can't
do it. Got to buckle up and hang tight and

(25:44):
be your own person. Jonathan Turtley, the prominent George Washington
University law professor and regular commentator on all things constitutional,
who has not only testified before Congress as a constitutional
expert but has represented members in court. Delivered the following morning,
he explained that the fact that leftists or an overwhelming
majority in academia has been a long standing problem in

(26:05):
higher education. Well, duh, let's just call them what they
are they So why don't use left right, Let's define
what we mean. We're talking Marxists, we're talking hardcore socialists.
We're talking communists. We're talking devotees of Cloward and Piven,
saul Lelensky rules for radicals to hold nine yards. Okay,
this is what we're talking about. You understand freeze dried

(26:26):
hippies who came into academia. All right now, he said,
the current generation of faculty and administrators has destroyed the
sense of free thought and expression on our campuses. Faced
with consistent polling showing that students feel compelled to mimic
liberal ideology and viewpoints, faculty shrug or even attack students

(26:46):
for being weak, and a debate that I had at
Harvard Law School, a Harvard professor called such students conservative snowflakes. However,
they are not conservative a Harvard A recent survey of
the graduating class by the Classroom Social Compact Committee found
that despite an overwhelming liberal faculty and student body. Even

(27:09):
liberal Harvard students found a chilling environment for free expression
at the school, and it's getting worse. Survey authors concluded
that the students were not cynical but adaptive, meaning that
they were reciting back to professors who professors clearly demanded.
They be told, you see face with the intolerance and
rigidity of liberal faculty. They pretend to be liberal to

(27:30):
avoid being penalized for their view real views or values truly,
noted the study itself said, in campus environments where grades,
leadership impeer belonging often hinge on fluency and performative morality,
young adults quickly learn to rehearse what is safe. The
result is not conviction but compliance, and beneath that compliance,

(27:50):
something vital is lost. Well, of course it is. You're
being programmed to just regurgitate the party line. Colmaade, I
mean you'd expect this on campuses in China, Russia, you know,
back during the Nazi party time, of the Nazi partying time,
if you will, of Nazi Germany. Yeah, nothing, the others.
What you'd expect, come on, But not in the good

(28:14):
old us of A. Oh, but this is what parents
and people getting student loans are paying for well, we
taxpayers are paying for it because of course a lot
of these universities and colleges of course their taxpayer funded
at least in part. And then of course they're student loans,
which ultimately if they're defaulted and are paid for by

(28:34):
guess who, Oh yeah, that's right to be you and me,
Truly pointed out. Ahavd Havid Yad is dead last among
two and and fifty one universities and colleges on the
annual ranking from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
Having help if your Jewish kid going to that school
and don't believe in the river to the sea. What
is most striking is the fact that Havid has created

(28:57):
this hostile environment while maintaining an overwhelming the liberal student
body and faculty. Only nine percent of the class identified
as conservative are very conservative, Truly said, Yet even liberals
feel stifled at Harvard. Only forty one percent of liberal
students reported being comfortable discussing controversial topics, and only twenty
five percent of moderates and seventy percent of conservatives felt
comfortable in doing so. Harvard faculty, he explained, is not

(29:19):
tolerated posing voices except for a handful of conservative academics.
The Harvard Crimson has documented how the school's departments have
virtually eliminated Republicans, and one study of when all the
Republicans are necessarily quote unquote conserative, that's what I'm saying,
the conservative liberal, These labels are getting mushy. It's why
don't use them. I try to be specific and accurate.
We've got to be like that. But nevertheless, in one

(29:41):
study of multiple departments last year, they found that more
than seventy five percent of the faculty self identified as
liberal or very liberal. He said, the virtual purging of
conservative faculty members across the country sends a message to
students that such ideas are not favored or acceptable. The
result is that the vast majority of students liberal and conservative,
self censored, an environment of intolerance that's documented by the
new study, which found seventy eight percent of students told

(30:03):
us they self censor on their beliefs surrounding gender identity,
seventy two percent on politics, sixty eight percent on family values.
More than eighty percent so they had submitted class work
that misrepresented their views in order to align with professors
in other words, they're just doing it for the grade.
Thinks she wondered about the bottom line of their education anyway,
if they're just doing something to just get a grade,
just to please a professor, even though the professor may

(30:24):
be dead wrong. For many of this has become second nature,
an instinct for academic and professional self preservation. They are
paying a lot of money to go to these schools,
or their parents are somebody who's the evidence surely set
explain some things. As on some issues such as the
nature of gender and gender identity, students actual beliefs are

(30:44):
quite different from what appears to be the prevailing orthodoxy
on campus. He also said, quote it also reflects why
the last election shocked so many in the media an establishment,
as young people voted Republican while they simply mauve liberal
orthodoxy in class. Yes, well, there needs to be a
pushback and students need to start pushing back. They did

(31:05):
in the sixties. They could do it again in the
early seventies. They could do it again. Speak up, get
a backbone, challenge, don't just accept something blindly because somebody's
shoved it down your throat. Challenge to your own homework.
Bring facts, Bring facts, imperial evidence and push back on

(31:33):
these Marxists, communists, socialists who have taken it. Here's the evidence, okay, gang,
because people have said this for years that they've taken
over the universities. Here's your evidence. And by the way,
Jonathan Turley's a Democrat. This isn't Democrat versus Republican. He's
a Democrat, all right. And I've heard Alan Dershwitz warned

(31:54):
about this kind of stuff, and he's a pretty hardcore.
Well he's more of an old school Liberal, but he's
and he was a Democrat till the Democrats started coddling
anti Semites. And then of course there's a Jewish man.
He said, you know, I got to pick up my
things and go now. And I'll blame him. He's a independent.
But this has become on the canvases of many Ivy

(32:17):
League schools and even non Ivy League schools, part and parcel,
and this stuff has filtered down. I'm just thinking of
a very crude saying, which I'm trying to see how
to say it politely on a Christian show. Garbage rolls downhill,
let's do it that way. But this stuff has dribbled
its way down into public schools because teachers that are

(32:41):
churned out by many of these colleges and universities, the
principles higher level you know, gigs that happen in the
public schools. These folks that are turned out, they get
gigs in the public schools systems, and they bring their
virus of Marxism, communism, and socialism with them, which, by
the way, eight which by the way, is anathma to

(33:06):
our constitutional republic and our form of representative democracy. What
our founding fathers believe in Marxism, socialism, communism, and any
form deluted down. I don't care deluted it is water down.
It is trying to mix that with what our founding

(33:27):
fathers gave us, our constitutional republic, our representative form of democracy.
We're really a concerti in the republic. We are not
a democracy. I want to rip all my hair out
every time our democracy and we're not a democracy. Repeat
after me. We are not a true democracy. Say it again,
we are not a true democracy. Say it one more time.
We are not a true democracy. Thank you. Our founding

(33:49):
fathers called true democracy mobmocracy, tyranny of the majority. They
did not want that for us. My gosh, you can
go back and read the Greek histories, all the nations
stays and these little nation states and jurisdictions and fighting
each other. The Greeks were true democrats for a while,
and they had all kinds of problems because democracies, true democracies,

(34:10):
tend to devour themselves. Our founders didn't want a true democracy,
a real democracy. They wanted the representative form of democracy
under the umbrella of a constitutional republic. And what these
folks try to foist on the brains of young mush

(34:33):
these socialists, these communists, these Marxists, what they try to
push into the brains of young adults, sometimes even older adults,
is contra to our constitutional republican form of government, to
what our founders gave us, which is limited government, because

(34:53):
it takes big, overpowering, tyrannical government to push this stuff
across the board on everybody and shove it down their throats.
That's what you saw in China, That's what you saw
in Russia. This is what you have seen. It's what
you saw in Cuba. This is what you have seen
historically in banana republics all over the globe, where communist

(35:15):
Marxist ideologies rain, where extreme socialism rains. It was done
so at the end of a gun. Point at the
end of a gun. That's where it was done. You
comply or you're dead. You don't get to speak out

(35:36):
against it. You say anything wrong, we don't like. We
either pull the trigger or at best, at best, we
put you in a gulag. Will you were rot and die.
Either way, you're gonna die when it'll be quick, when
it'll be slow, in tortures. But if you don't hold
a party line.

Speaker 5 (35:55):
You're dead.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Okay. These people are blood threat These people are bloodthirsty,
all right. People who buy this kind of stuff, they're bloodthirsty.
They don't like people that don't buy this kind of stuff.
That's why they will beat you down to a bloody pulp,
or they will kill you. That's how it works. That's

(36:22):
how it works. With the self righteous. These people are
very self righteous, all right, just like this, Just like
the describes and Pharisees of Jesus' day, they were very
self righteous. Jesus told the described the Pharisees, He said,
you build the tombs of the prophets, and you decorate
the graves of the dead. Let me tell you, these
folks will build a tomb for you and shove you

(36:43):
in it if they get the chance. So Turly is correct.
Let's take a break. Got more along these lines to discuss.
And furthermore, if you're a Christian in one of these environs,
the public school, that beam whatever, Oh, look out, there's

(37:04):
a target on your back too, not just the Jewish students.
There's a big target on your back. We're gonna go
into that too.

Speaker 11 (37:13):
Stay regular, Jesus, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 12 (37:30):
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 (37:44):
Sound easy?

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Not likely.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
If all that does come.

Speaker 12 (37:48):
Too easy for you, you're probably not working hard enough. On
the other hand, these five loves should become 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 1 (38:07):
Amen.

In this station, there is a ground wire with Hun
gun Man.

Speaker 13 (38:16):
I remember hearing a story about a minister of the
early nineteen hundred. She was having a tent meeting when
several rugged men began threatening that if she didn't stop
sharing Christ, they were going to burn the tent down
with all of the people inside. At the next meeting,
As the crowd gathered, the men showed up to make
good on the promise. Nervously, the minister began to pray.
Within minutes, she knew what she should do. From behind
the podium, she proclaimed that they were going to begin
to pray and sing songs glorifying God. Instead of focusing

(38:38):
on the intimidating voices, they were going to concentrate on
the God.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Who is all powerful.

Speaker 13 (38:42):
With zeal, the people in the tin joined her and
proclaiming the goodness, kindness, and rightness of God, And within
moments that people left and the threat was gone. Every
one of us face the situations in life when we
are confronted with confusing voices and dangerous circumstances. People that
stare into the challenges rarely win, but those that set
their affections on the unchanging one will not lose. Remember
the next time you experience opposition or facing a major trial,

(39:03):
God is bigger than your problem. When you look to
Him instead of your circumstances, your problems will fade.

All Right, Connecticut teacher in legal battle after resisting order
to remove cruciffets spring Bill Miller of the tablet dot com.
All Right, this is a Connecticut teacher in Connecticut.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
Now.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
She her name is Marissault Arroyo Castro, who taught at
Delorento Elementary and Middle School in New Britain, Connecticut, has
gone to federal court to contest a directive by her
bosses to remove a crucifix from her classroom, which, by
the way, had been hanging there for a long time.
The junior high school teacher in the Connecticut school where

(40:10):
she worked are locked in a legal battle over her
refusal to remove a crucifix from her classroom, which has
been there a pretty long time, by the way, kind
of like a little late in the game here. Lawyers
from aristol a Royal Castra, who taught seventh grade, have
sued the Consolidated School District of New Britain her employers
since two thousand and four that a lawsuit was filed
in Connecticut Federal Court, and it claims that by ordering

(40:32):
her to remove the crucifix, school district officials ignored religious
freedom protections set out at the First Amendment of the
US Constitution. Specifically, according to the lawsuit, that order violated
the First Amendment's free exercise clause, which protects a person's
right to freely practice religion without interference from a government
entity like a public school district or a public school, which,
by the way, the Supreme Court said in Tinker that

(40:54):
public schools are government schools. I think it was Tinker
said that they were the public schools in essence are
government schools, i e. They are government property because they're
financed by taxpayer dollars and run by local governments. Therefore
they are government schools. Therefore they are government property. The

(41:15):
whole point of the Bill of Rights really was to
draw a line between you and government that said, thus
far you will come and no more. Any government entity,
whether it's a public school, whether it's a post office,
whether it's the whether it's city hall, city council people,
the cops, some government bureaucrat, the President of the United States,

(41:36):
doesn't matter. Congress whoever, whatever, are you with me? Check
check this thing on. Okay, go to me. It's like
telling me to take down the picture of my father
or the picture of my grandson or Castro, lifelong Catholic,
told the Tablet in August eleventh, the cruise fix has
always been a part of my life and my family.
Now somebody may be saying, well, okay, it's just a

(41:57):
religious symbol. I get it. Actually, over the door of
this room, I'm not Catholic. Over the door of this
little studio room here in the bunker that I'm in,
I have a crucifix. Why, Well, because I tend to
like things demons don't. Demons don't like crucifixes. I'm not

(42:18):
being superstitious. I just kind of like it where it's at.
In a statement to the Tablet on August thirteenth, officials
for the school district said that they trying to accommodate
the teacher's religious faith while also respecting the diverse religious
beliefs of the students, students and student body. In the
constitutions there said blah blah blah. Wam r R. Marisela
Royal Castro taught seventh grader's at de Olarential Elementary School.
She was transferred out of teaching last December, uponent fusion

(42:40):
to remove the cruise fix from playing sight in her classroom.
Sam And had, however, that from the start, this teacher
has insisted on us playing a crucifix on a classroom
wall visible to children in class during instructional time. The
statement provided a comment from Tony Gasper, the school district superintendent,
who said, quote, their responsibility as a public school district
is provide a learning environment that respects the rights and

(43:01):
beliefs of all students. So how is her having a
cruise fix up there and not respecting the student's right
Explain that to me? Well, they can't. We will continue
to follow legal guidance throughout this process or a main
committed to upholding both the law and the values of inclusion, neutrality,
and respect for all. He continued, But you know, to
heck with the Constitution, I'm telling you, there's no greater

(43:24):
area in the nation where there needs to be constitutional education.
Public school boards, public schools, teachers, principles, they all need
need to be let's just say reprogrammed, re educated, or
something about what the Constitution really says and means. I mean,

(43:47):
it's just crazy, It's like these are constitutional free zones.
And in Tinker, the Preme Court also said that the
Constitution didn't end at the schoolhouse gate Now Royal Council
said that she was shocked when the vice principal here
former employer of Delaarento Elementary and Middle School, sought a
meeting in December, right around Christmas. Of course, he reported

(44:07):
complaints about the crucifix came from two people who need
declined the name. Of course, it's always these anonymous atheists
or some anonymous ninni somewhere and they won't name them
that suddenly gets their h atheism and a not because
there's a crucifix. My heavens, what happened to these people
when they're driving down the road and they see a
crucifix on top of a church buildy? Did they? Is

(44:29):
it like the Is it like I don't know on
the Wizard of Oz where the wicked Witch of the
West starts melting, Oh, my beautiful wickedness, I'm melting.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
You know?

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Is that what starts happening to They burst into flames
or something and they you know, have to go to
some place and puts extra tinting on their cars so
they can't see things and can't be seen inside. I
don't know why does that work. You live in a
society of plural of plural religion, plural different it's a
plurally really society. Let's just put it that way. A

(45:02):
plurality of different religions. Okay, that means you've got to
tolerate other religions and atheism. I'm sorry, is religion has
a whole creation story. They'll ask naifs you'll tell you
what that creation story is he or she? Uh So,
with the plurality of beliefs, spiritual or non spiritual belief

(45:24):
systems in a nation like ours, which are allowed, including atheism,
and protected including atheism. That doesn't mean that you see,
there's religious freedom. Doesn't mean which is guaranteed by the
way in the First Amendment. Is the first part of
the First Amendment for a reason. It's not there just
because they win any meaning. Minu moe. Okay, let's put
this first. The founders knew that if you didn't have

(45:46):
freedom of spirit, freedom of heart, freedom of mind, the
rest of it didn't matter. That's the lynchpin. This is
why they're going after it. This is why the socialist Marxist, communists,
anybody else that hates anything to do with are going
after that because they know that that's the lynchpin for
the the rest of the Bill of Rights. It's the
first part of the First Amendment. Remember there are five
liberties containing your First Amendment. It's the first of the

(46:07):
five for a reason. But it's a lynchpin for the
rest of the constitution, and I mean the Bill of
rights anyway in the Constitution, that portion of the Constitution. Well,
do somebody saying maybe the rest of the constitution two
you could argue, but nevertheless, for the for the Bill
of Rights, that one goes away. The rest becomes irrelevant.
If you don't have freedom of heart, freedom to believe,

(46:27):
then the rest is well, what's the point. What's the point.
So that's just why they go they're going after it,
that's why they've been going after it for a long
time because they know it's the lynch pin, and I know,
they pull that one loose and the rest of the
it gall crumbles, the domino start falling. What's next, Well, well,

(46:50):
what about separation, Church of state, separate, Church of state rocks,
separation Church of State Rock, separation, Church of State right. Well,
you see, separating church and state doesn't mean that a
person of faith cannot work in a public capacity or
cannot express their faith. There's no public employee clause in

(47:14):
the First Amendment, in the Religious Freedom section. What it
means is that the government read carefully the Congress that
the government, in essence, will not establish a particular religion,
force you to be a member of it, you know,
put a gun to your head, force you to pay
tithes to it, or whatever. That's what that means. It

(47:37):
doesn't mean that people of faith are barred from government
duty or have to shove their faith in their shoe.
That's not what that means. The line of separation church
and state is to keep government out of religion, to
keep government out of people's faith. To stop this not

(47:59):
to stop a Cristian or a Jew or an atheist
from working in public schools and having a modest expression
of their belief. Now they can't. Now she can't set
up and start preaching sermons. Now that's probably gonna get
he in some trouble as a representative of the government.
But by the same token, she can't be forced to

(48:21):
stick her faith in her shoes. I mean I've seen
I've talked about cases on this show where somebody on Facebook,
a teacher or principal on Facebook, happens expressed something that's
of the faith realm, and then all of a sudden
they're getting fired and they're getting docked without pay until
further investigation. What's on their own time? If some student

(48:47):
sees them walking in on Sunday morning to a church building,
you're gonna fire them because the student had a convulsion fit.
I didn't know my math teacher was one of those Christians.
Oh my god. I mean, you know, he starts getting
into the realm of silly, all right. He report complains

(49:07):
about the crucifix came from two people whom we can tell.
Of course, the vice principal told Royal Castro to remove
the crucifix, which had been displayed near her as for
a decade. It took a decade. And now understand that
it took a decade for somebody to have a conniption fit,
and then for somebody in the school to say, well,
you better take it down. Oh you couldn't tell her
that ten years ago, but now you're going to tell

(49:27):
her that, okay, she said. She asked why and he
responded that it's presence violet of the Constitution. No, it doesn't. Again,
ignorance of the Constitution and what the separation clause is
all about, I've never read that. She continued, well, because
it's not in there, and he said, it's the law.
It's just the law. No, it's not. No, it's not.

(49:50):
Now there's an erroneous Supreme Court decision that kind of
gave malicious say fodder to our vice principle. Here a
letter from Thomas Jefferson to a head of a Baptist organization,
and he spoke about the separation of church and state.

(50:12):
Bear in mind though Thomas Jefferson was not at the
Constitutional Convention, he was over in France, so he was
not a Constitutional founders. He's a founder American founding follower,
for sure, a very important one. But that letter was
taken out of context the district and response to laws

(50:33):
who countered that the posting of religious symbol like acrucifix
follow it's the first Amendments establishment clause. Well, now wait
a minute, it saysn't God we trust on the money.
It saysn't God we trust on the money. There's prayer
before congressional meetings. When Congress meets, there's prayer of different faiths.
Muslim I mom that comes in there, Baptist ministers, Jewish rabbis, Buddhists,

(50:59):
you know what, New Agers with their crystals and incense
and whatever, so that you know they allow everybody to
do it. It's which Hibbit's government was showing preferences for
one religion over others. Well, that's what you're doing here.
You're basically saying, well, we prefer Atheism over any other,

(51:19):
you know, over Christiania. That's what they're saying. Ro caesters
to the vice principal told her that refusing the order
would be insubordinational, which could bring consequences like losing her job.
She complained at first and repositioned the crews fix out
of sight below a tabletop, but that grieved her. I mean,
here he is on that cross roller coaster set, and
after all the things that he has done for me,

(51:40):
here I am betraying and putting him in a hidden
place where nobody can see him. Anyway, She came back
in the morning, she recalled, and I said, I'll let
you down and I'm going to fix it. Putting the
Crisius back where it was, and then of course it's
school with conniption fit on her, and there we go.
So here we have it. A lawyer's from a Plano District, Plano,
Texas based First Liberty Institute, a nonprofit legal services firm

(52:00):
that specialized religious freedom cases, are handling the lawsuit. A
Royal Caaster's lawyer, Keisha Russell told the Tablet that the
lawsuit points out that other symbols such as superhero characters
and professional sports teams appear at teacher stations throughout the school.
Ah So see, now we have the problem of restricting
certain kinds of speech. Ah So, if it's sports speech

(52:23):
or if it's some other kind of speech, we're gonna
allow it. But religious speech, forget it. Supreme Court said, no,
you can't just go cherry pick which speeches you like
and don't like, and then we're going to restrict them. Okay,
as long as it's not like, you know, cussing kind
of stuff. Vulgarities, of course are some people's mind. The
cross is vulgar. I get that. So the lawsuit claims

(52:45):
to have precedents based on Kennedy versus Bremington School District
in twenty twenty two Yes, in which the Usupreme Court
determined in favor of a football coach in Washington State,
Joe Kennedy, who was fired for leading postgame prayers. She
had the two clauses of the First Amendment are meant
to compliment each other, not to use one to bludge
in the other. That's exactly right, She's correct, And that's

(53:07):
the way it's been misinterpreted. That you have religious freedom,
but not really because there's an establishment clause. No, because
otherwise those two things to be contraditional, condicting each other.
If the meaning of the establishment clause that people pour
into it were what they think it is erroneously like

(53:29):
in this case, you see, then you'd have a constitution
disagreeing with a constitution. Constitution harmonizes. This is why I
like to use the phrase that we have to use
proper hermeneutics when interpreting the Constitution. Let the constitution interpret
the Constitution. This is where a lot of error lies
in the Constitution and interpreting the Constitution is that they
don't let the constitution. Don't let the document interpret itself. Again,

(53:53):
if the vice principles meaning that he was pouring into
the establishment clause or true. Then that sort of negates
the the other part of the first portion of the
First Amendment of freedom of religion. It's kind of like, well,
you sort of do, but you sort of don't have
freedom of religion. Well, that's not what it says, that's
not what it means, But that's what it would mean.

(54:14):
If you put that definition in there. It almost makes
it null and void. Well you sort of do, but
you sort of don't. Well, which is it. That makes
it pretty ambiguous, doesn't it. That makes it more of
an ambiguous right and not really a hardcore ride, does it.
So that is an erroneous interpretation. By the way, you

(54:34):
are not protected from religion in a religiously plural society.
There's no such thing as freedom from religion. I know.
There's a whole organization called freedom from religion. That's not
guaranteed the Constitution. You can't guarantee that and guarantee freedom
of religion at the same time, because one's gonna bump
into the other. You're gonna drive down the street and
see a crucifix. You're gonna drive down the street and

(54:54):
see a I don't know, a star David on a synagogue,
or you're gonna blow up. You're gonna scream and holler
and yell, and some people do.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
I was went to the seven eleven to buy my
six pack of beer in my rolling papers. And there's
this church. It sits next door to this church building.
It says next door to it, And on the steeple
is a big cross, and it was sunset and the
and the shadow of that cross was in the parking
lot and I had to walk through it. Oh my gosh,

(55:25):
I nearly burst into flames. That violated my atheism, my
right to atheism. And there's people that say, I've seen
stuff that absurd on social media that that cross needs
to be taken down or lowered because it's just to
see that shadow crossing the parking lot and they had
to step over the shadow or walk through it. Oh
my god, what'd you do? Like burst into flames for
a few minutes or something a few seconds, you felt heat,

(55:48):
You felt conviction in your and your conscious maybe I
don't know, but it gets silly. It gets silly, and
again it boils down to erroneous interpretations of the Constitution
and of what that first part of the First Amendment
really means and its historical interpretation, at least until the
nineteen forties, when the Supreme Court, in a really goofy

(56:10):
case decided to kind of bend that a little bit
because of a letter that Thomas Sheriffson run By the
way they took the letter out of context. Wasn't based
on any law anywhere, just on a letter by someone
who didn't author the Constitution. Was one of the co
authors of the the decreations of been inependis, for sure,
but had nothing or little to nothing to do with

(56:31):
the authoring of the Constitution. Wasn't there the Constitutional Convention.
Let's take a pause. Well, Christian talkot rock straight ahead

one foot in the world and one foot in God's word,
to be so spiritual on Sunday morning.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
But then Friday night's a completely different scene.

Speaker 15 (58:43):
Jesus challenges us in Revelation chapter three, verse sixteen, don't
be lukewarm. Look some people, they're not hot, they're not cold,
They're just lukewarm. They're going through the motion 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 going to fall into the water. I have a
little silver square that's in my bathroom I look at

(59:03):
every day. Joshua, Chapter twenty four, verse fifteen. It says,
choose this day 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 don't want to be lukewarm. Let's
move with God, not the world.

so much going on? Where does one begin? Where does
one begin? Let's go here? I want I'm well the

(01:01:44):
last hour talking a lot about the Marxist socialist communists.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
JP Morgan's them and spoke with dem socialist New York
City mayoral candidate after calling him a Marxist, which is true,
I mean, what about Ericavel Fox News, Fox Business? Actually
JP Morgan Chase Jamie Diamond reported he had a call
last week with New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mom,
Donnie Madman, Mom Donnie's life call him, who he previously

(01:02:13):
said was more of a Marxist and a socialist. Well,
yeahs or communist. When you talk about saying, well, the
government needs to run, could take over and control and
run and own the grocery stores. Really, well, that's that's
pretty much communism. That's there. You go, why don't you
move to China. Diamond's call with Mom Domi, a member

(01:02:36):
of the Democratic Socialists of America, was a friendly conversation,
Blueberg News reported, citing people briefed on the call. Conversation
allowed at Diamond's criticism of Momdammie's ideological preferences for government controlling,
and occurred as the State Assembly been surged out to
a lead in New York City mayoral race, despite similar
criticisms and apprehensions from the city's business community. Of course,

(01:02:56):
because see that the whole thing with communism is they
owned the business is one way or the other. They
get their tentacles in there and they control it. That's
what happens in China. Understand, if you do business with
the business in China, you're not just doing business with
the business in China, You're also doing business with the
Chiicom government. That's how it works in a totalitarian regime. Understand.
This is how it works, all right. There's no such

(01:03:19):
thing as free enterprise. Doesn't work that way under communist regimes.
Mom Donnie has held those meetings with the assistance of
Katherin Wild, the CEO of Partnership of New York City,
who has helped make connections with the business leaders those
companies are members of the coalition. Wild also has also
helped arrange similar connections and meetings for other candidates in

(01:03:41):
the male race. Not according to the report, other Mom
Donnie supporters have stepped in to help facilitate meetings, including
the New York State Attorney General Letitia James that does
you where she's at? And New York City Comptrol the
brad Lander. According to the report, these people are socialists. Okay,

(01:04:02):
those folks are socialists. There's no way to get around that.
They have a right to be, but they've also got
a right to be called out on their socialism, which
again is contra to what the founding fathers gave us.
They gave us limited government. You look at our federal
government now you wouldn't believe it, but that's what they
originally gave us. The kind of consciucial republic that they

(01:04:24):
gave us is contra It does not mix like oh,
it's like oil and water. It will not mix with socialism,
hardcore socialism, communism and Marxism. Something has to give. David's
the last month of event in Ireland that Mamdonnie's more
of a Marxist and a socialist. He's right, well communist

(01:04:47):
and called out Democrats were saying, well, he's pointing out
some of the real problems affordable housing and grocery prices. Okay,
and you let the free market handle that. The solution
is that more government involvement. In fact, because you've got
tons of government involvement, like outrageous property taxes. That's why

(01:05:08):
people have to charge what they charge for apartments and
condos that they're running out in rental houses. Mad Donnie's
candidacy has proven controversial with members of the business community
and Well Nose Prize are with the Democratic Socialist campaign platform,
including a number of controversial and policy proposers, policy for
the city's finances, and on and on and on. You
can read the rest of the article yourself, but the

(01:05:29):
point being, this stuff doesn't work, it doesn't mix, and
if the people of I'm just gonna say, at point blank,
if the people of the City of New York are
stupid enough, are just that stupid enough and ignorant enough
about what kind of governments were supposed to have in
this country and what our founding fathers gave us, then

(01:05:52):
you deserve, as the old saying goes, the government you get,
then you deserve mad man man DONI you deserve a
communist running the people's Republic of New York, the People's Communists,
Socialist or whatever Republic of New York. You deserve it.
And watch the businesses and the people continue to flee,

(01:06:13):
and you will find yourself pretty much a banana dictator
republic city state. And good luck with that. Good luck
with that, because I was generally speaking, don't do it
so hot. And maybe that's what it will take to
wake people up. Maybe that's what it'll take to wake
them up. I have an aunt who told a story

(01:06:37):
aunt uncle who told a story about a cousin of mine.
They used to both smoke. Well, he wanted to smoke you,
so I'm smoking. So they said, Okay, here's a cigarette.
Take a good long. You know, it's like five, six, seven,
eight years old. Take a good long suck on this thing.
I like to choke him to death. He never touched
cigarettes again. Maybe this is maybe a similar things would
need to happen to the folks of Nueva Jork. Get

(01:06:59):
a good lafe, long taste of this guy mad Man
Man Donnie, and maybe, just maybe you'll go, oh, I
don't want this. No, this is this is craziness right here.
This is craziness right here. Uh, speaking of Marxism and socialism,

(01:07:20):
the Marxist Socialist Nationalist Broadcasting Collective, I'm gonna pick on
the media now you I have to on this show.
I always do. The Marxist Socialist Nationalist Broadcasting Collective is
going to change its name. Well, dog Garnet, I was
having fun saying that. Not gonna come up with a
new uh name for the Marxist Socialist Nationals Broadcasting Collective MSNBC.

(01:07:43):
They're gonna ditch the iconic peacock logo as well in
a company spin off now. Mark Lazarus, who will serve
as CEO, initially told staff they would not have to
worry about switching identity. Just being reported by the way
by Nicole Silverio of The Daily Color News Foundation, SO
MSNBC will change its name to my Now. They're they're
filling it out my source news opinion World. I still

(01:08:05):
say it's Marxist, socialist, nationalist opinion world. How about that?
That's what I'm want to continue to call it ms
now ms NOW, and it's been off from Comcast NBC Universal.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
The Wall Street Journal first report of this on Monday.
Comcasts approved a seven billion dollars spinoff of its NBC
Universal channels, including MSNBC, CNBC E, and sci Fi in
November as ratings crash following the twenty twenty four election.
Along with the name change, So see they're trying to

(01:08:36):
they're still going to sell the same old garbage. They're
just going to rebrand it a little bit. MSNBC will
lose the peacock brand logo as part of an effort
to distance itself from NBC News in BCWNBC News and
create its own identity. The Wall Street Journal reported MSNBC
staffers were informed about the upcoming name change. How much
you'll have bet it's still gonna be the same old

(01:08:57):
junk though, But they're just going to try and rebrand.
Sneak a pass hoogs. See here being sneaky the new
publicly traded companies spun off by Comcast, NBC Universal will
be known as Versant. The Wall Street General Report Mark
Lazarus will serve as Versant. See that sounds all chic
and European, right, Well, they are European styles, so actually

(01:09:19):
they're beyond European style. Socialists chief executive officer initially told
a staff that they would not have to worry about
the name change. What's in the name right. During internal discussions,
NBC Universal executives said they prefer to keep the NBC brand.
When it had been decided that the spun off MSNBC

(01:09:41):
would still include news and opinion, probably more opinion than anything,
and the Wall Street Journal important. The rebranded MS now
will continue appealing to the quote left wing audience and
focus on holding the political figures from both parties to account.
That's a laugh if you're a look anybody who's watched

(01:10:03):
the Marxist socialst Nationalists broadcasting collectives soon to be called
the Marxist Socialist Nationalists opinion world. In their worldview, Democrats
can do absolutely no wrong ever, and they and the
Democrats are righteous. They are the good guys, and the

(01:10:26):
Republicans are evil. Satanists. They're bigots, they are hard hearted,
and they hate poor people. They hate everybody, the Republican haters.
Republicans are evil and must be eliminated at all costs.
If you've never watched MSNBC, what I just told you
is pretty much what you've missed. Now you could say, well,

(01:10:51):
Fox says the same thing. Reverse, Yes, they do. Watch
Sean Hennedy. Republicans can never do wrong, and Democrats are
the most evil thing to ever walk the planet. Since
I don't know nazis, Comcast announced a new spinoff venture
after MSNBC's ratings fell fifty three percent after the twenty
twenty four election, though the network has since seen fluctuations

(01:11:13):
in this viewership. The network averaged about one point eight
million total primetime viewers and five hundred and ninety six
thousand daytime viewers in the second quarter. I don't know
how that jives, but anyway, of twenty twenty five, which
lags far behind Fox News and well above CNN's overall ratings,
which aren't that great over CNN either. In fact, Fox
sends me stomping all of them. That could change, all right,

(01:11:38):
So I want to play a clip here before I
go to bregg. This is from the lady who now
now runs in pr Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:11:54):
And she.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
Her name is Catherine Marr and she claimed a few
years back, she claimed a few years back. This clip
is from I Believe twenty twenty one. She claimed truth
in media might be a distraction. She was one of
those Ted conferences deals they were talking about media and stuff. Well,
truth might be a distraction. Really is When is truth

(01:12:21):
a distraction? I mean, yeah, you don't want force people
to hang out the dirty laundry, per se. You speak
the truth and love the scripture says, but she speak
the truth. You speak the truth? When is truth? Kind
of When does truth suddenly become a distraction? Kind of

(01:12:41):
a bad thing? I mean, guys, this is I don't
know how to put this. This is satanist. I don't know.
I just don't know how to put it. This is satanic.
There's a famous quote I'm going to paraphrase it that basically,
when a society becomes so awash with you know, perception
and stuff like that, the truth in its peers form

(01:13:04):
becomes revolutionary. I think we're there. Let me let you
hear this clip. I think we're there. Well, we can't
have truth in journal and the truth in media. We
can't have truth. No, that's just it could be too
much of a distraction, a distraction to what an agenda. Well, yeah,
usually the truth does usually pummel certain agendas that deny truths,

(01:13:28):
that want to foist I don't know, like propaganda. Yeah,
if you're a propagandist organization and the truth comes on,
kind of makes your job a little difficult, doesn't it.
Sure See, our finding fathers wanted freedom of speech because
they knew that somewhere in the mixed truth was going
to pop out. They knew that at some point it
would rise to the service truth typically does. It rises

(01:13:50):
to You can't keep the truth buried forever. Remember they
tried to bury Jesus and that lasted three days and
the boomy popped out of the of the grave. Because
you cannot bury the truth, not for law. You cannot
kill off the truth, not for law. You might be
able to go away with it for a little while,
but eventually it pops up. It comes out sooner or

(01:14:10):
later more often than not. Let me let you hear
this clip.

Speaker 6 (01:14:18):
Since you write these articles aren't actually focused on finding
the truth, they're working for something that's a little bit
more attainable, which is the best of what we can
know right now. And after seven years there, I actually
believe that they're thing wiki for our most tricky disagreements.
Seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the

(01:14:38):
truth isn't necessarily the best place to start. In fact,
I think our reverence for the truth might become might
have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing
us from finding consensus and getting important things done.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
She now runs in pr good job for by the way,
that she should be in good company national Public Radio, who,
in my opinion, becomes some of the biggest propaganda spewers
out there. The party line, the government line, not just
the party line, but the government line, only what the

(01:15:16):
government wants you to hear. And again that's what our
founding followers were concerned about. That's why there's freedom of
the press, freedom of speech, because they were told to
toe the party line, the government line under King George,
in Parliament, under the British authority, you say something that's
critical of the King, or of Parliament or the British

(01:15:38):
crouv of under the crown, well guess well, We're coming
to burn your presses and throw you in jail, put
you in the stocks. All right, That's what happened right
before and during the American Revolution that was going on.
So we have sort of a version of that happening now,

(01:16:02):
censorship by proxy. All picking up the phone and calling
the folks at Facebook and saying, look, here, Zuck, there's
some stuff that some people are putting on Facebook that
we find just isn't helpful to what we're trying to
do here in the government and with this administration. So
you need to lean on those people, just like we're

(01:16:24):
leaning on you right now. You need to now lean
on them and take that stuff down, delete that stuff. Well,
that's called censorship by proxy. That's illegal under our constitution,
violates the Bill of Rights, freedom of speech, freedom of
the press. Can't do it eve when it's done by proxy,

(01:16:47):
you can't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
If the social media company on its own decide to
take something now, well okay, because they're a private company,
and then you can kind of get away with that typically,
But if a government goon calls them up, somebody running
the White House called them up, somebody in the FBI
picks up the phone, and calls them up and says, hey,
you know, you need to have this person take this
stuff down because you know it's just not what we

(01:17:09):
agree with and it's not helping our cause over here. Well, tough,
that's the whole point. Our funding and followers wanted governance
to not be easy. They wanted to be difficult on purpose, Okay.
They wanted critics to be able to speak out against

(01:17:30):
those that were that were governing them. That tends to
hold them a little more accountable without retribution. Now, yes,
you can't say I'm gonna go out and kill the
president and you know, put your plan up there on
social media, because that's against law. We're not talking about
stuff like that. We're talking about expressing thoughts, opinions, and

(01:17:51):
ideas and even presenting facts, because a lot of it
was presented sometimes as facts, but they didn't like the facts.
They didn't like the truth. And this is the mindset
of the lady now running in PR. That's her mindset, okay,
And garbage chins to flow downhill. So I suspect that

(01:18:12):
that doctrine is filtering its way down through the ranks
of NPR. I suspect could be wrong, and this is,
but you know, she has a lot of company in
the media. My point is, she ain't alone in this thought.
This was she was speaking of a ted talk. A
conglomeration of different media folks were there as she was

(01:18:33):
spewing this garbage. Well, sometimes you have to kind of
walk down to it. They're not even say the truth
of allar been the truth, or have a half truth.
In order to get the agenda out there that we
want really going along in order to bring consensus and
bring people along, we can't really you know, the truth
thing kind of muddies up the water just too much.
So you know, we just got to hold off on that.
It's kind of you know, stretch it a bit and
push it down and talk about it because you know,

(01:18:57):
it's all for the advancement of the agenda of theology
to get things done that we feel we need to
get done. Comrade, but there are people who are gullible
who watch these mainstink media outlets. That's why call him.
When I call him, they go, well, yo, okay, well yeah,
I guess that kind of makes sense. Okay, yeah, they're

(01:19:26):
hoping to be uninformed, will swallow their information. He'll twine
and thinker and not question it ever.

Speaker 3 (01:19:38):
More talk continues next with Richiel more Christian talk that rocks.

Speaker 4 (01:19:43):
Next, 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.

(01:20:07):
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,

(01:20:30):
the world did not recognize him. From John one. Listen
to the Bible. It's great for the soul.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
You're more at radiobible dot org.

Speaker 5 (01:20:42):
Now back to the talk show that tastes a lot
like chicken. Here's your host, Richie.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
O Ice, Immigration customer with the Forestment bad Ice rescues
twenty seven, including ten children, from human trafficking ring. It's
being imported by Virginia Allen. The Daily Signal legally aliens

(01:21:10):
caught running operations out of motel salons promised prosecution to
the fullest extent of the law. Immigration enforcement authorities rescue
twenty seven human trafficking victims in Nebraska, Nebraska, not Los Angeles,
not New York, not Miami, not Houston, Texas, not Del Rio,

(01:21:34):
and Brownsville not Phoenix, Nebraska, out in the middle of
the Heartland, out in the Wheatfield country the corn Country, Nebraska.
Among the victims Immigration and Customs enforcement rescued were ten
children under the age of twelve. According to the Department
of Homeland Secureita Quota Rayvice Law Enforcement Rescue three. Rescue

(01:21:59):
these children and women who are being sexually exploited and trafficked.
Sir Trician McLaughlin, Assistant DHS Secretary, the human trafficking ring
was being run by illegal aliens. According to the DHS,
illegalians running that trafficing operation, which also included drug trafficking
out of motels and eyebrow salons in the Omaha metro
area that, according to the DHS quote, victims were crammed

(01:22:19):
into cockroach infested rooms, trapped in squalor with no basic
sanitation or safety. DHS reported in a press release for
subtained by The Daily Signal, children and adults are being
sex trafficked. Five illegal aliens have been charged in the
bust and will remaining custody pending judicial proceedings. In removal,
quote IS has placed immigration detainers on all five Indian

(01:22:41):
illegal aliens that is, from India arrested to ensure they
are not released back into the community after completion of
their federal criminal charters. According to DHS, in other words,
once they go to jail and serve their time, they're
gone by as it should be. During the operation, law
enforcement sees more than five hundred and sixty five thousand
illisted drugs. In addition to the twenty seven victims and

(01:23:04):
the five illegal aliens who were said to be running
the trafficking ring, ICE also took fourteen other illegal immigrants
into custody who are reportedly living alongside the victims and
of course saying nothing because they were afraid it just
what happened. Guillermo and Fante Arevallo, an illegal alien Fromico,
was among the fourteen and has history of child endangerment,

(01:23:26):
drug firearm possessions, illegal drug farming possessions, and illegal reentry,
which is a felony that means he's a felon. That
according to the DHS, criminal legal immigrants Udis enriquie Quear
Martinez of Venezuela and Pablo Martinez Canasa el Salvador were
also arrested. There you have that, and it's interesting how many,

(01:23:51):
not not exclusively, but how many of these sex trafficking rings,
which of course traffick both children and young adults and
mostly women, sometimes men as well, how many of them
are run by illegal aliens. Now, they's not run exclusively
by illegal aliens. A lot of other people are doing
this too, and it's usually organized crime of some sort.
But it's amazing how many are run by illegal aliens.

(01:24:15):
This comes as part of the problem. It's part and
partial in other words, And I don't care what the
mainstinct media tells you. That's why I'm sharing this story
with a seater and share stories like this all day
with you. Many moons back, I had Jacko boy Ends
on this show, and the sex trafficking in this country
is horrific and these people are basically slaves. He thought

(01:24:36):
slavery entered when Abraham Lincoln did this thing and the
Confederates loss. Not exactly, not quite. It's still out there.
It's still happening, and this is one of the readings
in which it is still happening. Okay, and you must
understand that. All right. Moving to Oklahoma, Oklahoma Stale Heartland

(01:25:02):
Country partners with ICE to deport five hundred legal aliens
currently serving prison sentences to be reported by Warner Todd Houston,
Bridebart dot Com. Officials in Okay have entered into a
wide ranging partnership with the United States Immigration and Customs
of Forcement Agency and also known his Eyes, to remove
hundreds of criminal legal aliens from state jails and import

(01:25:24):
them back to their home countries. People who have had
their due process, they've had their due process, and they're saying,
I know clear amount of our jails. Send them back
to whence state came. ICE is like to be happy
to do so. Governor Kevin Stitt has been working on
plans to support as many as five hundred legal aliens

(01:25:45):
who have been convicted of crimes in the sooner state
and they're currently serving prison sentences. Recently, ICE outed this
relationship with Oklahoma and a message on X in fact,
I think all the states of the Union should be
doing this. White the taxpayers have to keep these people
up in or out of jail. Oklhoma does not have
any sanctuary cities and has undertaken an initiative to send

(01:26:06):
criminal aliens from jails and prisons directly the ICE. THEYS
rode in August fifteen. All states could follow suit. Eliminating
the risks of criminal alien re recidivism after incarceration just
makes sense, the agency insisted, stid it does. Stead has
been working to reassess the sentences of some criminals with
an eye towards shortening them in order to pass the

(01:26:28):
illegal aliens into the hands of immigration officials for expedited deportation.
According to The Washington Examiner, programmed up Operation Guardian by
state official seeks to save the state thirty six thousand
bucks per day to house feed the convicts. Stead said
the state could save millions of dollars per month if
many of these legal aliens are deported, and they're not

(01:26:49):
the onlyest all states could. Operation Guardian cycles the convicts
from the jails right into the custody of ICE at
the conclusion of the convict state sentences. Criminals also have
a say in their to a degree program allows the
convicts to accept deportation by going before the state's parole
board and asking to be given parole so they can
be handed over to eyes, and they just shipped on

(01:27:10):
out of the country. That makes sense too. So far,
about sixty convicts they have gone through the process, but
hundreds more in the pipeline. Some of the criminals targeted
for deportation have been convicted of violent crimes instead, says
his office, or of view each of the cases to
assess the suitability of letting them receive early parole for
for deportation, not just really parole to get out and

(01:27:32):
near their thing again. Victims of violent crime also have
a say in the deportation plans, as they have the
right to speak at state parole hearings. However, Public Safety
Commissioner Tim Tipton added that the government will not necessarily
be operating opening the jail doors for dangerous criminals quo.
If there's a victim involved, or somebody who's done some
kind of violent crime, rate murdered, those types of things,

(01:27:52):
I'm sure he won't allow them to be removed from
the country and be parolled back to their home country
until they've served out their sentence and justice has been served.
Unless the federal administration wants to take them and transfer
them into a federal facility or another facility out of
the country to finish serving out their sentences. But this

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
All right, this may be affecting a lot of you
in some ways. I don't know. I'm still sort of
and there's a lot of opinions on this, and I'm
still sort of parsing this thing out myself. I'm gonna
throw out there to you. Workday, which is hues by
a lot of companies, was targeted by data breach. By
a data breach. They were hacked, but plain news now.

(01:30:32):
This is coming from Andrew Barker, editor at LinkedIn News.
Human resources software giant work They confirmed late last week
that it was hit by a data breach, with hackers
getting access to information from a third party customer Relationship
Management CRM database. In other words, they kind of just
went through the wormhole, if you will. They went from
one database that linked in to the other one, and

(01:30:54):
that's how they kind of kind of got in. In
the words, open one door that led to another door
to let to another door, which is what ickers often
do as opposed to a direct hack in they sort
of go, you know, in sideways. Per Workday, there was
quote no indication unquote the breach involved information on its customers,
though the precise extent of the hack was not clear. Okay,

(01:31:18):
so yeah, reconcile those two statements, all right, that sends
my radar up like that sounds pretty wishy washy. The
cyber attack follows a spate of major data breaches at
companies ranging from Door to Victoria's Secret and Alien's Life
and a lot of There were some commentators saw on this.

(01:31:42):
One of them said more specifically at third party s
here on platform was targeted at a recent social engineering campaign,
meaning it was likely Salesforce that was actually breached. The
hr Giant says a hacker stole an unspecified amount of
personal information like names, email addresses, and phone numbers. Workday
said that there is no indication of access to cutustomer
attendants or the data within them. In other words, the

(01:32:03):
company cannot explicitly rule out that customer information was taken,
i e. If you've ever used them. Sometimes when you
go when you go just to higher on like like
when you're just applying for a job, you go through
work Day, right and some of you have applied for
jobs online and you get the job alerts in your
email and all that. Sometimes you go through Workday. So

(01:32:25):
there's a lot of personal information that is under the umbrella,
if you will, to one extent or another of Workday.
So did the hackers grab that? I mean, you may
be working for a company that doesn't use work Day,
but you applied for another company. You may I have
not got the job, or that you don't like the
offer at the handed you compared to maybe the company
you're working for. I get it. But you went through

(01:32:46):
the workday system with your application, which has you know,
yourself security number, all sorts of background stuff about you, addresses,
phone numbers, perhaps email addresses that these hackers can get
their hands on. You see, So this could affect a
lot of folks in a lot of different ways. It's
means that if your company uses work near. Even if

(01:33:06):
your company doesn't, but you once apply to a company
that does, your information could have been stolen. Has worked
there really acting above board on this see I don't know,
I don't know. Which again goes back to with so
much stuff in databases and computers which are vulnerable to hacking.

(01:33:28):
Even our federal government gets hacked, even with all its
failsafes and idiot proofing, it still gets hacked. I'm just
just understand that whatever information you give a company an organization,
especially if you're doing it all online going into some
computer database, understand there is a risk. I don't care

(01:33:50):
how many promises they make of your data security, there
is a risk your stuff can be stolen by hackers.
So I guess the world of the story is, if
you're applying for a job, they want SO security umpany
wall of stuff. Well, it's the moral of the story
is just be wise, maybe leave that blank if if
the application will let you. Now, once you're hired, yeah,

(01:34:12):
you do have to pretty much give them your SO
Security number or a tax ID. That's so that the
government can you know, take out SO security tax and
your income tax and you know that the government needs that,
and they can legally ask for what the government can
and the company has to cough it up under the
so Security Administration Act. I get that. But if you're
just applying for a job, you haven't been hired yet,
I might leave. If there's an option to leave that blank,

(01:34:33):
I would leave that blank and any other information you
don't want them to have. Now, sometimes they'll say, well
you think please go back, Well, then you know what,
move on to another company, move on to a different
way of applying, move on dot org, move on to
another Just just say, okay, well I'm not giving the
I'm not put that online because there are hackers out there.
Just understand. If you do, you're vulnerable to hacking. Just

(01:34:56):
understand it, okay. And the crazy world in which we
now live in getting crazier all the time. So there's that.
Just be careful, all right, And who knows what's going
to come out in the days ahead as to perhaps
what has been actually stolen and whose information has been

(01:35:19):
Still a lot of companies like to kind of downplay
this at first, and then you find out later, well
you know, da da da da da okay, But if
you think about it, you know, these HR type programs
a lot of companies will use. You know, a lot
of a lot of businesses will hire one hi guy
or gal, and then they have these programs and things

(01:35:41):
that they use and sometimes, you know, that's pretty much
your HR person is basically a computer. It's a program.
And companies like that, and they get into these systems
or the utilize these systems to handle all their HR
issues and hiring and firing issues and so on and
so forth, and you know, to manage fmlas and pay

(01:36:04):
time off requests and having to do jury duties and
getting time off and blah blah blah, and so the
you know's use these programs to make life a little
easier for whoever the HR person is, their persons are
a lot of companies will do that. It's more often
not the case even small companies. So if they can
afford it, will do it, and they'll utilize these these firms.

(01:36:26):
And there's a lot of info personal information tax ida,
I mean, all kinds of stuff that's very personal that
somebody could hack very easily. Where your deposits, or think
about this, where your deposits are going in make your
direct deposit where every company has directed posit. Well, they
got that info handling the payroll, handling the paychecks, handling

(01:36:48):
the direct deposits. Well, somebody hacks into all that. Even
if your bank isn't hacked in, they can hack into
that info that your company may have. While I they
got your bank account, they got your routing numbers, They've
got everything right there. What's the stop them from just
you know, looting your account and having a good time

(01:37:08):
looting lots of accounts. This is where the stuff gets
kind of. It starts to get scary, It starts to
get spooky.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
So just be.

Speaker 2 (01:37:17):
Advised, just you know, word to the wise. Homes are
selling it at the slowest summer pace in a decade.
According to Redfinn. That's being imported by Andrew dorin the
Hill dot com. Florida homes are sitting on the market
for over ninety days in some cities. High prices and
elevated mortgage rates have cool demand, boosting supply. Formal market

(01:37:37):
christ that's going to probably bring the prices down, which
is probably the good side on this, but formal markets
across the Midwest remain hot. High prices and economic uncertainty
are keeping homes on the market longer making the last
month the slow July in a decade. Typical home that
went under contract in July spend forty three days on
the market. Now, understand, if you want to figure out

(01:37:58):
what's happening with the economy, look at homes, look at
housing sales, housing starts, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
I learned that from my late father, who was a
homebuilder for a number of years, work for home building companies,
work for lumber comtiyt ceter new the home building industry
inside out and backwards, Brountwhiche, and sideways. That it's a
leading indicator and definitely a barometric pressure eating on where

(01:38:21):
an economy is at. Look at what's going on in housing,
what's going on in the home markets. That'll tell you
what's happening.

Speaker 5 (01:38:30):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:38:30):
A lot of homes are overinflated. The prices of the
homes are overinflated. There's a lot of things behind that,
a lot of things behind that. One of the things
that's behind that. A lot of these markets, especially in
larger cities, overinflated home values is due to overinflated property
tax values for the home. You see some states and

(01:38:53):
some municipalities, some counties, et cetera. They have caps on
the right they could charge by law property owners for
property taxes both business, commercial, and residential. So the little
sneak around is the assessors just jack up the value.

(01:39:17):
They don't always use fair market value as their metric.
They just jack up the value. Now sometimes if they
can get away with it, they'll do both because see,
if they jack up, they'll do both rate hike and
value hike, because if the home is more valuable, then
they are going to get even if the property tax

(01:39:38):
rate is capped. Well, you know, the property tax for
a two hundred thousand dollars house versus a fourhuner thousand
dollars house, that's going to be double the money. So
a lot of tax assessors, a lot of politicians, and
these municipalities have gotten wise and they go, well, the
value of the tax I mean the value of the home.

(01:40:00):
Then we'll get more tax money, even though we're captain
at four point whatever percent product tax right or whatever.
We'll just well, just over reflect the value. And then
the homeowners going, hey, look, honey, our house has doubled
in value in the past three years. Hey, maybe we
should sell. I mean, we bought this house, was vited
two hundred grand. Now look at the valued over fo

(01:40:20):
hundred thousand. Slap a new code of penal on this thing.
But this maybe on the market, we'll double our money.

Speaker 3 (01:40:25):
I mean that.

Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
And from a sheer, I guess crass capitalistic business standpoint,
that makes sense. Here's the problem new time home first
time home buyers. For that three bedroom house, uh, that
Bob and Peggy bought for two hundred thousand about fifteen

(01:40:46):
years ago and they're still in it. Well it's for
over four hundred thousand. Now we'll shoot, let's put it
on the market. Heck, I mean we'll we'll we'll recover
our our equity and put a few extra bucks in
our post and then we can maybe go buy a
bigger house ourselves, good nicer home. The problem is is
that the first time home buyer so having a hard

(01:41:09):
time coming up with a down payment because on a
house that maybe fifteen years ago, twenty years ago, that
you get for one hundred fifty hundred thousand, you know,
you could in some markets get in there if you
had great credit, both of you were working, you could
slap through thirty five hundred to maybe five thousand down
and get into a house now more like ten to
twenty thousand plus. You better have saved up somewhere to

(01:41:32):
PLoP down. That's just for a down payment to just
to get the mortgagees to get into the house. Then
there's closing costs, you're gonna be eating in everything else.
So it's it's become unaffordable for a lot of young adults,
even some older adults trying to get their first home,
first time home buyers, usually in their twenties, sometimes early thirties,
trying to get into the first home, little two three

(01:41:54):
bedrooms starter home. So and they and even if they're
working in one of the bigger markets where there's great employment,
like Austin, Texas, Phoenix, you know, the Sun Belt, Charlotte,
North Carolina, Raleigh, whatever, Northern Virginia, the home prices are
outrageous for a little three bedroom starter home. You could
be paying close to half a mill any kind of

(01:42:15):
a decent neighborhood that wasn't you know, in a place
where you needed bars on the windows and steal on
your front doors and listening to gunfire all night. And
I don't mean because you live near a rifle range,
you know, in a decent, safe neighborhood, decent schools.

Speaker 3 (01:42:33):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:42:34):
So you want to buy that kind of a house
in that kind of a neighborhood, well, good luck, good luck. Heck,
even in a bad neighborhood, you canna be spending two
three hundred thousand dollars for a beat up shack with
bullet holes in it. Well, I just don't get share
of those bullet holes. Bullet holes. That's ventilation. That's healthy
for the wood, that's healthy for the for the for

(01:42:54):
the person living in the house. Don't plug up those
bullet holes out aw, that's natural ventilation. You guys look
like a bunch of naturalists, you kids, you're all about
nature and being natural.

Speaker 5 (01:43:03):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:43:06):
In fact, we ought to charge mar So it makes
it real tricky for a young adult, young married couples
starting now to get into the house. They got to
come up with a lot of jack to get in there.
And it's partly due to the greedy property taxes. In
part there's other market forces that are causing the home

(01:43:26):
prices to go up. But then you've got but then
you've gotten, well, the good old Federal Reserve, which is
not a federal or reserve dictating interest rates, and those
rates are not going down. There's stay in jacked. So
it's pricing a lot of people out of the market.
And that's why these houses are sitting on the market
for ninety days. First of might come along who can
afford the thing. This is why they're building more apartments

(01:43:50):
than houses, because apartments are more affordable for young adults,
young families. They're not a house. Although what you're paying
for rent ten, fifteen to twenty years ago was a
house payment for a pretty darn nice house, actually nice

(01:44:10):
three or four bedroom house with two and a half
baths in the double car garage and the dog in
the backyard, right, not anymore. So this is where we're at.
This is where we're at. Just as an example, Austin,
Texas sitting on the market for sixty eight days. Phoenix,
the average is sixty seven days. Places like Charlotte, North

(01:44:31):
Carolina fifty five days, West Palm Beach, Florida ninety five days,
Fort Lauderdale ninety two days, Miami, Miami eighty six days, Jacksonville,
Florida seventy five days. Well, people are worried about this time.
You're worried about the hurricanes. Phoenix sixty seven days, San
in Tone sixty six days. Nashville there's people around here
call it nash Vegas sixty days, Las Vegas fifty five days, Charlotte,

(01:44:55):
North Carolina fifty five days. That's going to Redfinn. Well, anyway,
there's that. Let's take a pause. It's making it tricky.
Why because again, government's fooling around property taxes, which you're unethical,
mudding up the waters. You see, if market forces, genuine
market forces with little involving from government, I know you

(01:45:16):
have to have some regulations keep the crooks at bay.
I get that. But when you have government mudding up
the waters as they do gang, then these are the consequences.
These are the country. But then the same politicians that
don't have a problem jacking up property taxes, which are
unethical anyway, because you never really own your home. The
government does read the fine print, don't pay your property taxes.

(01:45:41):
Judge'll take exactly who owns your home and why they
do they're honest. But then those same politicians don't mind
just overinflating the property values to get more property taxes.
They're the same politicians. We're gonna have more affordable housing.
And the guy I'm running against change, againstfortable housing. I'm
far affordable housing. We're gonna make housing cheverment for paper. Yeah,
we're gonna bring down the Yeah, you got mad man
man Donnie who loves high property taxes. But who's gonna

(01:46:03):
sit there and take you. Oh, we're gonna get the
rents affordable. Well, bring down the property taxes. You'll have
a whole lot of more affordable rents. He's not gonna
do that, because big government, big socialist government, needs as
much money flowing into it as it can by the
truck loads, by the freight train loads. You take that away,
you kill the golden ghosts for crying out loud. But
when government gets overly involved in things, this is a

(01:46:24):
kind of problems and dynamics. It happened, and our founders
knew it, which is why they wanted to have the
most limited, out of the way government that you could
possibly think of, with still some musclin teeth in it.
I mean, they were darn near anarchists, but they knew
that that wasn't gonna work, So they tried to give
us the tiniest government that they could give us. With
still some force behind it. But now we have these

(01:46:47):
monstrosities of local city governments, county governments, state governments, and
the federal government leading the way. Well, things are starting
affordable for paper anymore. Ours, they're not rage and blah
blah blah blah. But now I want to make it better. Yeah,
sure you are, and then go right in and do
the same crap we get back. Unfortunately, the Orangish Man

(01:47:10):
is dark a bit on how salvation works.

Speaker 16 (01:47:15):
Talk about that, are there some things about your life
that you wish were different? Actually, it's not too late
for a change. Here's a moment with Charles Stanley.

Speaker 17 (01:47:31):
I would like to give you, at this moment, the
opportunity of changing the direction of your life, the eternal
destiny of your life and the condition of your life,
and his How you can do that. You can recognize
honestly that you're a sinner, that you've sinned against God,

(01:47:54):
and that you don't deserve anything. So the invitation is
this to add the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive you
of your sins and acknowledge that you've never trusted him
as your savior. You've tried to do good, But the
Bible states that that doesn't work. He says, by works
of righteous which you've done, no person's ever been saved.

(01:48:16):
I want to invite you to invite Jesus Christ into
your life, asking him to forgive you of your sins,
surrendering yourself to him personally and saying, Lord, I want
you in my life. I want you to live your
life in and through me. I need the forgiveness of
my sins. I do want to go to heaven when
I die, but I want my life to count now,

(01:48:37):
and most of all, I want Jesus Christ as my
Lord and my savior.

Speaker 16 (01:48:44):
Learn more about how Jesus Christ can change the course
of your life. Visit us at in touch dot Orgene.

Speaker 2 (01:49:03):
All right, so the uh, the Orange Man made some
sad comments. I know somebody'd say he makes sad comments
all the time. All right, I get it. Be quite
a second.

Speaker 3 (01:49:14):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:49:14):
President Trump said, I want to try and get to
heaven if possible. I hear I'm not doing well here.
I'm really at the bottom of the tone.

Speaker 18 (01:49:19):
Put.

Speaker 2 (01:49:19):
What we all are with our christis being worried about
Bob Underworld of Daily President Donald Trump has talked about
his hopes for the afterlife and his eternity, and a
commentary at not the b noted it is and every
day that you hear us president's thoughts on death in
the afterlife. His comments references peace making work, for which
multiple nominators have already suggested that he be a recipient

(01:49:40):
of the Nobel Peace Prize. You've been hearing a lot
of that lately. Let me cheer a portion of a clip. Uh,
he's uh. I think this came to the clip. I
believe actually came from Fox News. But let me cheer
this clip, and then we're gonna jump on it after
a lot of people on social media jump all over
this thing, and then we're gona we're going to get

(01:50:00):
into it as we wrap things up here. But it's
his understanding is darkened on how salvation really works and
who it's through, which I was sort of disappointed in.
I don't want to say I'm shocked. We're very disappointed
to say you, considering how many Christians and preachers have
been around him. So I don't know what's happening here, and.

Speaker 18 (01:50:20):
I want to end it. You know, we're not losing
American lives, We're not losing American soldiers, well, losing Russian
and Ukrainian, mostly soldiers. Some people as missiles hit wrong
spots or get lobbed into cities like Kievan towns. But
you know what, if I can save seven thousand people
a week from being killed, I think that's I want

(01:50:41):
to try and get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing
I'm not doing well. I am really hit the bottom
of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven,
this will be one of the reasons. Well, I think
I saved a lot of lives with India Pakistan. They
were going at it. There was the planes were being
shot down, that was going to be maybe a nuclear war.
If I let that go, and I did that through trade,

(01:51:02):
I was.

Speaker 2 (01:51:04):
Okay. So we all know as Christians, or we should
if we name the name of Christ, that the only way.
Jesus said, no man comes to the Father except through me.
He said, He is the Way, the truth, and the life.
The post Paul says that look, you're saved through grace,
not by works. Saved by grace, not by works, Lest

(01:51:25):
any man should boast. You don't earn your wings into heaven.
You don't earn your way through the pearly gates. That's
already been earned by Christ himself. Right, He's the one
that's already earned it. So you simply accept him, as
you're saying, you accept that what he did on the
cross is a completed work of salvation, the completed work
of Christ on the cross. Okay, So it's a done deal.

(01:51:46):
Christ completed that job, all right, So you don't earn
your stripes now. I would think as many Christians as
have surrounded the Orange Man in recent years, he would
get that. I don't know if that's been communicated to
him properly or not. Apparently not, or if it was,
he just what we well, Okay, it's a nice fairy tale.

(01:52:06):
I don't know. I don't know what's going on in
his heart, in his mind in that regard. But this
is sad. This is sad and very revealing, a lot
of commentators pointed out Online commentators pointed out that the
Bible is quite specific on what is needed to reach Heaven,
and it's not based on works. In fact, a lot

(01:52:27):
of people are saying praying for Trump to establish a
very personal relationship with God through Jesus. Said one, those
are some intense words from Trump, added another, he knows
it's giving his heart to Jesus. Right, some pastor needs
to tell him this, put your faith in Jesus. One
commentator said, and heaven is yours. When you do this,
good works for the right reasons will follow. Naturally. He's

(01:52:49):
already doing the works. He needs the faith for heaven.
Someone share the Gospel with him. Another out of a
very physical perspective, no heaven for Trump for at least
fifteen to twenty years. Sorry, mister president, you're stuck with
the rest of us for a while. Some sarcastic person said. Anyway,
so we need to pray. Look, I don't care if
you hate Donald Trump or think he's the greatest thing

(01:53:11):
since sliced white bread, or you're just kind of We
need to pray for the man. Scripture says that we
are to pray for our leaders, whether you like him
or not, whether they're good or bad. There's plenty of
bad ones out there. We know that at both parties
and all parties. Let's let's pray for the man. I
don't care if you if you're a Democrat, you hate
his guts, and you may be if you're if you're

(01:53:34):
a person of faith, you're required to pray for him,
whether you like it or not.

Speaker 1 (01:53:38):
Ha ha ha.

Speaker 2 (01:53:39):
So you gotta pray for him. Well, you can stand
him or not. And he's certainly not perfect, and I've
had my issues with him. I like a lot of
what he's doing. I mean, God, I think he's doing
some great I think he's doing some stuff that's not
entirely conclustional. But and I've called him on that, but
I think he's doing some good stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:53:58):
I do.

Speaker 2 (01:53:59):
I don't agree with everything he's doing and how he's
doing it. I don't agree with him custom like a sailor.
And I don't know how he's avoiding the finds from
the SEC when he says, you know, he asked the full,
the full throated version of that on you know, live TV.
It's not good for the kids to hear mister President
turned it down. Of course. I get he's a big
New York you know. That's the way it is. He's
you know, from wherever in New York. And he worked

(01:54:20):
with a lot of construction guys building his buildings and
so forth, and that's how they talk. I get it.
I worked in construction and I worked in a home center,
and I get how construction people, you know, they get
a little salty. I get it. I get it. My
mother had a salty god wrestler was very salty at
times with a late mother, with her her verbiage, and

(01:54:41):
she was a Christian. Sometimes she'd she'd blow her top
and boy, here it came. So I get it. But
the poor man's got to understand, I don't know. Coming
Nobel peace prize, rewards you get, that's not what's going
to get you into the pearly gates. It's your relationship
with God through Christ period. It's it discussion, that's it.

(01:55:01):
That's how you get in. That's your ticket in. If
Jesus hasn't punched your ticket, you ain't getting in. I
don't care how many good works Jesus even said many
will come in only that day. Lord Lord, look at
all we did in your name, and blah blah blah,
I'd deproper for you, worker of iniquity. I never knew you.
That's sobering. So let's pray for the Orange Man. Let's
pray for the Trumpster, the Donald, that he gets right

(01:55:23):
with the Lord, genuinely, genuinely, and my gosh, she's gonna
need it. So people say, well, you know, God kind
of saved him from you know that that assassin's bullet.
I think perhaps perhaps, But for what? And God can
use rank sinners. I mean, there's examples in the Bible

(01:55:46):
of people that never knew him and may may have
wound up in hell, who knows. But he used them, Okay,
a lot of pagan kings and so on and so forth,
and and other kinds of folks he used to get
his thing done. Scripture says all things work together for
them that love the Lord. So you know, the Lord
can use a lot of folks. But if Trump's going

(01:56:08):
to really be in heaven, then he's got to get
right with God through the person of Jesus Christ. He's
got to accept Christ as a savior. They complete work
of Christ on the cross. He's got to understand and
appropriate that blood shed by not just the good Man,
the God Man that's your ticket in and appropriate that
to your life into your sin. Said Nit number one,
you need a savior, that you need salvation and then

(01:56:34):
turn to the one who offers that salvation. That's the
person of Christ. I mean, it's the gospel. It's the
core of the gospel message. You want to have an
eternal relationship with God, then you've got to come to
Him through the God Man Christ one hundred percent divine,

(01:56:55):
but yet one hundred percent human. But never send live
the perfect life if you will, and never send.

Speaker 14 (01:57:03):
Sin.

Speaker 2 (01:57:04):
Listen to humanity, but God in the flesh, ord to
God made flesh, second person of the Trinity.

Speaker 3 (01:57:09):
All that.

Speaker 2 (01:57:09):
Yeah, YadA, you know, basic sentity school stuff. But you've
got to come to that Jesus in the Bible, not
some other kind of guru. Jesus from wherever that Jesus.
All right, we all know this or should have. For Christians,
the Orange Man needs to know this, so we need
to pray. Put him on the top of your prayer list.
On that note, got to go. Sure check out the

(01:57:34):
