You're listening to radio looks listen, I'm your host Steve Matthews Thank you for joining me for our big episode 135 tonight.
00:29
The title of this episode is it's mega in America now if you're
00:34
You're an old -time Gen X or like I am you you might might get the the reference where I where I got that title it's actually from a a campaign slogan of Ronald Reagan When in 1984 that was the first year
00:50
I voted Was 1984 Ronald Reagan was the first president I ever voted for and He had a slogan.
00:56
That's kind of well -known probably the best -known slogan that at least from that year Anyway, he had an ad campaign was called.
01:03
It's morning in America. So Anyway, I decided to use that for the title of my program tonight.
01:08
It's mega in America And of course, that's also not only reference to Ronald Reagan But it's also a reference to the upcoming inauguration in just a couple of days
01:16
You know and that's something that I think a lot of us probably never thought that we'd see, you know, we never thought
01:22
You know, we had hoped to see Donald Trump back in the White House here, but I wasn't really sure it was going to happen
01:31
And you know, I think I've said this before on some programs that I've done That yeah,
01:38
I had that I had this friend of mine his friend. I've known him for years. We always get together for lunch a
01:44
Week or two before Christmas just talk things over and we in December of 2023 we met and you know, we both
01:54
Went away saying, you know, it's gonna be interesting next year when we get together because you know in December 2024 that is because we might be living in a whole new world that was that's what we were thinking and and you know,
02:08
I You know, there were a lot of pretty dire predictions going into 2024, you know, they're gonna be riots we're gonna have another
02:15
George Floyd kind of thing or You know, maybe there's gonna be another kovat kind of a situation
02:22
Or maybe you know the you know The Democrats are going to steal the election by you know, all the tens of millions of illegal aliens
02:29
They brought into the country. I mean just you can come up with all kinds of scenarios and And in truth,
02:35
I mean it wasn't crazy to think about these things I mean you really as an American, you know and seeing what what went on in 2024 you say well
02:45
You know, what's the likelihood of this happening again? You might my base case going into to 2024 was well
02:53
Yeah, how are you going to to vote your way out of this? I mean if if they stole the election in 2020, that was my basic thesis and it still is
03:03
Why would why would the why would why could we trust the elections in 2024? But I I think that we did we actually had a surprisingly normal election it's surprisingly
03:16
Uneventful now, I think the the Dems did do some rigging it at some of the the congressional level
03:23
Races, I I do suspect that that went on but the presidential election seemed
03:28
At least in my view seemed to be pretty clean and it seemed really as if the
03:35
American establishment made to some extent peace with Donald Trump and And finally realized that it's gonna be hard to keep him out of office
03:44
You know I think it would have been kind of hard to convince the country that Kamala Harris won that election because Donald Trump was so very
03:51
Obviously really functioning as president. I'd say even before the election, but he's really been effectively
04:00
The president really since the November 5th election, yeah, I don't know if you've removed the term quiet quitting
04:05
I mean that became that was kind of a popular Idea, maybe a couple years back and I was talking about how you know employees
04:13
Really shouldn't be going over and above and you know working extra hours for free and this kind of thing
04:18
You know, they should go in do their job and go home, you know and and not Be Overly devoted to their employers call it quiet quitting.
04:29
Well Some people have talked about Joe Biden quiet quitting as a president then. Yeah, I think there's some truth to that I mean, it's he's been been pretty scarce here the last last couple months and I guess a little bit over a couple months
04:45
Since the election I guess what I guess it's probably what about 10 weeks or so from the from the election to To the inauguration, you know used to be they had the inauguration was in March I understand
04:56
At least as recently as the 1930s and maybe it was after that. I'm not sure when they they shifted it to To January, but if it had been like it was back in the day
05:08
Then I guess we'd still have a couple more months We'd have to wait maybe a couple more months where you know, Joe Biden could issue all kinds of crazy
05:15
Pardons and and and these types of things, you know I've was was talking to mom today about this and I know you know
05:23
We we both are are sitting here kind of wondering. Well, you know, what's what's uh, you know, what kind of last -minute?
05:29
Outrages is Joe gonna try here. I Don't know. It should be interesting to see if if Some some last -minute announcement comes
05:39
I have to admit I'm kind of expecting it. Hope maybe I'm wrong Maybe I'll I'll be wrong about that.
05:44
Maybe he's done everything that that he's going to do at this point, but Yeah, I'm just always a little bit skeptical.
05:51
Well, anyway Let's see here just a few things
05:56
I wanted to share with you here just about the inauguration Let's see. Here's one. Let's see here.
06:03
We'll get a few stories up and Yeah, here's one story.
06:08
This is from Let's see There we go. And this is from the
06:15
Epoch Times. It's Trump inaugurational Inaugural event kicks off today what to know and just talk goes through here
06:22
Talk some about the swearing -in ceremony four days of celebration surrounding president -elect Donald Trump's second inauguration started
06:28
January the 18th that's today and they begin with a reception and fireworks at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia on Saturday and then with the
06:37
National Prayer Service on Tuesday both Trump and vice president -elect
06:42
JD Vance will be sworn in at 12 p .m Eastern Time on Monday with three former presidents Barack Obama George W Bush and Bill Clinton expected to attend
06:52
While the event is traditionally held outside on the Capitol steps. It has been moved indoors due to freezing temperatures
06:58
According to forecast inauguration set to be the coldest in 40 years Yeah, there's one of these
07:05
Oh They've got different words for this sort of thing. They know somebody's just call my
07:10
Alberta Clippers But I think maybe there's a different term for it the user an Arctic Yeah, maybe it'll come to me they call it an
07:19
Arctic something or another Arctic vortex, I think that's the word for an Arctic vortex. So, you know, there's this jet stream that kind of goes around around the
07:28
North Pole but sometimes that did that jet stream for whatever reason it dips down south and Yeah, you get a blast of some some really nasty
07:37
Arctic air this time of year And I know we've got forecast in the single digits for at least a couple days next week
07:45
I think maybe that even starts tomorrow. In fact, let me take a look at this here kind of interesting to see
07:53
Had a snowstorm on a Sunday a couple weeks back. Maybe we'll get get the privilege of freezing tomorrow morning
07:59
We'll see here. This would be a good test of our church's new boiler. They had to they had to put in a new boiler
08:04
Yeah, yeah, here we go. Yeah Sunday. We we have a low of 8 degrees And other calling for maybe snow tomorrow then
08:11
Monday. We have a low of 3 degrees in Tuesday. We have a minus 1 Wednesday minus 3 so those are our lows now
08:19
Most of those days we get up at least another we get at least up to 30 tomorrow But we're in the teens
08:24
Monday and Tuesday for a high and then a high of 24 on Wednesday So, yeah, you know that's that's kind of January and I Know I've got a good friend of mine good brother in Christ in in Sydney, Australia He probably watches or listens to this and John if you're listening, yeah, you know
08:41
You're you're a lot better off in in Sydney than we are here in Cincinnati. That's all I can tell you
08:48
I'd be happy to trade places with you brother Anyway, yeah, you know and I write him sometimes
08:56
I'll send him some stuff. He always texts me back and it was just say I'd I'd I'd I'd die
09:03
Oh, you know and I have to say, you know, I mean I've lived in in Ohio almost all my life and I I still don't like winter
09:10
I don't know. There's some people that maybe like that stuff Maybe some sick sadistic people out there, but I'm not one of them and frankly,
09:17
I'm happy to see it go But yeah, I guess it's one of those things you just kind of learn to put up with and That's that's that's what
09:23
I do. He's kind of put up with January I think most people in these parts would probably tell you you kind of just put up with January in February They didn't mark to start to get a little bit better.
09:32
Yeah, which isn't that far away? I mean, we're only looking maybe about another six weeks or so And hey, it's gonna be
09:38
March and you know, you're gonna start seeing the first spring flowers come up so, you know, it's actually not too far we're getting there the the
09:45
The Sun staying up later at night we've gained So we've gained about 25 minutes of daylight
09:53
I've got this Yahoo weather app and it shows what time the Sun sets and and right around the 21st of December which is the shortest day it sets at 518 and I think yesterday it said it set at 542 so that's that's an extra 24 minutes and you can start to see a difference
10:10
So so anyway, I try to play mental games with myself I know it's cold and minus three out or whatever, but hey, you know at least
10:17
Springs on the way, right? You can see stuff getting better. So um something to look forward to and as I said, you know, we've got some some good things happening in in Washington DC of all places we've got
10:29
Donald Trump being inaugurated which you know again, I never I I really didn't think that we were probably going to see that But It's happened here and and I am thankful and and and I don't want to give you the impression
10:43
You know that you know, because some people like to say oh, well you just you want to worship Donald Trump or something like this
10:48
Well, no, it's not a matter of of anything like that but what it is it's a matter of you know is
10:56
We had choice of worse and we had choice of better this past election. We had a choice about Putting installing a an administration that would be more
11:07
Biblical in its thinking or one that was less biblical The Trump administration is not going to be perfect.
11:14
That was gonna be sin that comes along with it But I think we are much better off and I am thankful.
11:20
I thank the Lord that We have Donald Trump being inaugurated on Monday and not
11:26
Kamala Harris We are a better nation for that And So that's something that yeah, you know
11:34
I rejoice and and I have to remind myself of this because you know It's so easy for me to be negative about things and yet here we do we have something
11:43
I think that that's a good thing That's probably something that a lot of us didn't expect I know that I didn't expect to see happen and and I'm glad for it.
11:51
So and I thank God for it so so I will will go on the record of saying that but there's a few other things here about the
12:00
About the inauguration. I mentioned here in this epic time story, of course, you know, they're taking it indoors because of the
12:08
The temperatures now some people have said well, maybe it's also because of security and you know,
12:14
I I think that's probably not crazy I mean that could very well be some of both Now here we go.
12:22
This is from the this is from Reuters. Here's a story thousands gathered in Washington to protest Trump inauguration and If you read through this this is a story from today
12:31
January 18 thousands of people gathered in Washington on Saturday to protest president -elect Donald Trump's inauguration as Activists for women's rights racial justice and other causes rallied against incoming policies
12:43
They say will threaten their constitutional rights during the Republican second term Now, of course, we already had a 44 years of Donald Trump.
12:50
I just wonder for these people, you know, what exactly? Horrible thing happened to you in the four years of Donald Trump You know,
12:58
I mean, you know, yeah ask yourself that because you know, I I don't think you know I think you'd be hard -pressed to find anything
13:07
But these people are upset and of course, you know, you have a right to protest you have a right to disagree with Donald Trump You do have that First Amendment, right?
13:16
It continues here some of the crowd wore pink hats that marked a much larger protest again Trump's first inauguration in 2017
13:22
Yeah, they had that women's march and that was a kind of a big deal That was one where Madonna had some things to say about About the
13:32
White House and she ended up getting a visit from the from the FBI for some of the language that she used
13:40
Implying some violence Probably didn't actually literally mean what she said, but you know, it's it's not a smart thing to do
13:48
To say the sort of things that she did say But now this is an interesting comment here says protest against Trump's inauguration were much smaller this time in part because the u .s
13:59
Women's rights movement seems more fractured to many activists after Trump defeated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in November Organizers predicted 50 ,000 would attend while local police expected about 25 ,000 more than 300 other marchers
14:14
Marches were planned nationwide Now that's the the Reuters story now
14:19
There's a story here in the BBC that talks about the same thing. I think they provided According to the
14:26
BBC this protest had only about 5 ,000 turned up So the organizers had expected 50 ,000 but about 5 ,000 turned up So, you know, that's a pretty big difference one -tenth the size of the crowd
14:37
It really doesn't seem like the the same kind of energy is out there As was the case in 2017
14:45
I mean there was you know, I mean there were there were quite a quite a number of people who arrested for felony rioting at Trump's first inauguration and Yet they were all somehow remarkably
14:59
Let go and and we're not I don't believe any of them were prosecuted if I recall correctly but yeah, the energy the opposition the the protest against Donald Trump, they don't seem to have the
15:10
I don't know the The force behind them that they did eight years ago
15:17
Now it's hard to believe that's eight years ago too because it doesn't seem like it's anywhere near that long But here's a picture of some of the protesters here
15:30
Let's see. Not out not much else there. Um, now here's an interesting comment. Now. This is actually from Donald Trump himself.
15:35
Now this is from From truth social and now this is a little bit of a change of topic here and as a kind of moving into some comments some
15:45
We'll cover some of the immigration angle here as I always like to do on most of my podcasts I thought this was a good way of introducing this because this was something that Donald Trump put out on truth social
15:57
See, it's on January 14th. So that was earlier this week. And this is what Trump said. This is actually a very good statement
16:02
He's talking about the wildfires out there in California and in LA And he says the actual irony a homeowner consents to pay property taxes that will go to the fire department the funds are diverted to illegal immigrants because LA is a sanctuary city an
16:16
Illegal immigrant comes and set your house on fire and the fire department doesn't have the resources to put it out
16:22
The homeowner paid for their own destruction on top of that The government is so inept that the insurance companies won't insure houses here anymore.
16:29
So the homeowner is left with nothing Yeah, you know that's that's actually really a very good
16:36
Summation of what's been going on out there in in California The you know is as taxpayers these people they pay these taxes supposedly the fire department and you know other government
16:49
Agencies that are supposed to take care of things Not just fire department put them out But you know
16:55
There are agencies that were supposed to be in charge of you know Doing some of the work to prevent the fire some starting in the first place, which apparently doesn't get done
17:06
But they can't import massive numbers of illegal aliens who LA is a sanctuary city and Then I guess they arrested that illegal alien with a blowtorch.
17:15
Was that about a week back? I mean seriously, I mean, but yeah I mean that's the kind of stuff that's going on and and so essentially and I think the the bottom line is is that the homeowner paid for their own destruction and that's one of The things that I've been saying for a long time about this whole illegal immigration
17:35
Fiasco that's been ginned up principally by the Roman Catholic Church and but by other groups as well
17:41
But I mean what the what ends up happening is as Americans we get to pay for our own destruction
17:48
Whether it's you know, I know whether these are Americans that happen They're living in LA or whether these are
17:54
Americans living in other parts of the country I mean you you have terrible things happening to people think Lake and Riley The young woman who is a young nursing student who was killed by an illegal alien in a very brutal way and So, I mean, yeah you end up not only do you you have your country destroyed but you have the privilege of paying to have it destroyed
18:17
Yeah, what a great deal. Yeah, that's basically what the Democrats, you know, that was their platform Hey vote for us and we're bringing a billion illegal aliens for she to pay for them and kill you
18:25
You know, that's that's kind of their their platform and and and you know It's kind of funny in some ways because you know you after the election you'd have these very somber
18:35
Democrats and you know, and they they you know be discussing Well, why did we lose and some of them not all of them?
18:41
But some of them would say well, it was our messaging. We just didn't get our messaging out the way we wanted to well No, actually they did get their messaging out loud and clear
18:50
Yeah, I mean the problem is, you know is like basically, you know, their message was well We hate you and and we want terrible things to happen to you.
18:58
You deserve to be punished you know, that was that was their message and You know, it's it's just like Joe Biden, you know,
19:07
I mean Joe Biden leaving the White House I'm not sorry to see the man go. I mean he's done nothing but insult huge swaths of the
19:15
American people over the past several years with his rhetoric I mean, it's one of the things this is something that a an observer noted early on in Biden's Biden's presidency because Joe Biden was sharply critical on many occasions not of Just Donald Trump, but actually of his supporters and it was it was really
19:40
Biden's going after Trump supporters That was remarkable And that's what this individual was talking
19:46
I can't remember who it was or somebody I saw on TV and he was absolutely right He was a TV commentator and you know, he made this point that you know, of course in in American political tradition
19:57
You know in a republic. Yeah, you're allowed to To go after your opponents.
20:02
You're allowed to say, you know, my opponents a scoundrel, you know My opponent has bad ideas. My opponent is gonna do all this terrible stuff.
20:08
You're allowed to do that You can make those arguments you're allowed to oppose somebody politically That's okay.
20:15
You you you have a First Amendment right to do that But it has always been the understanding that you don't go after your opponent's supporters
20:25
Well, you know, it's not a constitutional thing I mean if Joe Biden wants to get up there and insult me and people like me
20:30
I mean he has a constitutional right to do that, but it's it's really not a good look
20:36
It's a bad idea I mean there are times and I mean it was frankly a bit chilling to me to listen to some of Joe Biden's rhetoric and some of the the the way that that he would talk about me and talk about others like me and Well, it was a it was a big problem it was it was very disturbing to hear that I've never heard a president
20:59
Consistently talk that way. I mean, you know, I mean Barack Obama had some of his comments like that Yeah his his bitter clinger speech and then of course you had
21:06
Hillary and her deplorables comments and things of this sort but but Joe Biden Really raised the bar not only in the things that he said, but in the frequency that he said them
21:16
I mean he said this repeatedly throughout his administration and and no, I'm not sorry to see him go at all
21:22
You know, I don't think he was ever, you know legitimately elected and he certainly doesn't have any business
21:29
You know, and you know, you know He doesn't have any business getting a second term and and I am very thankful to the
21:36
Lord that he is going I call him Jesuit Joe, you know, and and he really does have very close
21:41
Jesuit connections He was gonna go over and pay a visit to Pope Francis back on the 10th
21:47
I guess that would have been last weekend. Let me be last Friday I guess it was but he I guess with all the wildfires and all that stuff
21:54
I guess he feel it felt it wasn't Proper to to go to fly to Italy and fly to Rome and have his audience with his boss in the
22:03
Vatican So so he decided to stay here and instead he worded he awarded
22:08
Pope Francis the Was it the Presidential Medal of Freedom with distinction as we talked about last week?
22:14
Yeah, I guess it it seems like in the the the Biden regime The worse the person is the more likely is to get a
22:22
Presidential Medal of Freedom. So there's that but yeah, hey moving on here a little bit more to the
22:30
To the immigration angle, you know, there's some stuff, you know, I I went out this Just even this evening was was reading through some things if you want to find find out what the
22:41
Roman Catholic Church thinks about immigration and just the Get a sense for the level of the immigration treason.
22:47
That is constantly put out by Various organizations of the
22:54
Roman Catholic Church. Just go to there's a feed on X. It's called justice for immigrants it's an that's a
23:01
Sub -organization under the the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, and I mean they just put out just total bilge water and and really treasonous nonsense in their
23:15
And in what they say and I mean, it's just this constant stream. It's like almost like a fire hose of this stuff
23:21
I mean, I mean, here's a letter This is one. They say this is dated January 13th.
23:27
It's Addressed to to some senators and it's you know, it's talking about the the incoming
23:34
Administration or the incoming Trump administration the Republicans, but you know, it talks here
23:42
Let's say so make sure I get to the right space here.
23:48
There we go Inclusion of and this is a segment out of a longer letter but what they say here's the here's what it says quote inclusion of immigrant and mixed status families and Speaking about the relationship between families in the economy
23:59
We must also recognize the central role of immigrant families within our society and the country fundamentally shaped by the contributions of immigrants both culturally and economically
24:08
We can't accept policies that unjust exclude newcomers, especially when we continue to relay on and collectively benefit from their labor.
24:15
Well Not so much, you know and notice here they they use that that obscuring term
24:25
Newcomers, you know these people showed up. Oh, hey, look at hey, we're your new neighbors. No, I mean these people are illegal aliens and of course, you know
24:33
Rome can't use honest language about the the illegal aliens because that's
24:38
Those are the people that promoting this is the Vatican policy to flood the United States of America with illegal aliens and put it in a position where Rome can increase its power over the
24:50
United States I've talked about this before. I mean that is called irredentism That is
24:57
Jesuit immigration warfare Being conducted on the United States with the by flooding the
25:03
United States with all of these illegal aliens But they like to call newcomers That just sounds so nice, doesn't it?
25:10
And anyway, they continue on here with strong a scriptural foundation of social doctrines the church clearly affirms the families of Migrants have the right to the same protection as accorded other families.
25:21
Well, no and You know, they they try to tell you the Catholic social teaching has strong scriptural foundations, which it does not
25:30
Roman Catholic social teaching is essentially fascist With some strong elements of communism in it as well and Yeah, it's it is
25:43
There's no there there is no support in Scripture for the kinds of teachings Of the Roman Catholic Church and the kinds of attacks that Rome makes on on sovereign nations
25:55
It's it's it's actually remarkably evil thing I mean Rome and I said this before I will say it again
26:00
The Roman Catholic Church is the premier globalist organization in the world and in really the way that you need to understand, you know, we talked so much about globalism and in the threats of globalism what you have to understand is a globalism is
26:18
Is principally driven by Rome the New World Order. You probably all heard of the term the New World Order I remember
26:24
I think it was George W George HW Bush the Bush the elder the the first Bush president in The late 80s early 90s.
26:33
He got up and he started talking about the New World Order people like what what's this? You know, this is some some weird sort of I don't know almost some people call it a messianic sounding term
26:44
I was called it sort of like an Orwellian sort of a term But it but George HW Bush was the first one.
26:51
I remember ever talking about the New World Order at least publicly Well, the New World Order is just another word for globalism
26:59
Globalism is Roman Catholic geopolitics. That's what it is and The the opposite of The New World Order is the
27:11
Westphalian World Order or the WWO the the Westphalian World Order is geopolitical
27:17
Protestantism one of the principles of The Westphalian World Order is that the national government is the highest level of government and that that each individual nation -state is
27:29
Is really a legal person in international law That that nation that nation -state has rights, you know, we talk about like a corporation is a legal person not a natural person
27:42
But it's a legal person that has rights very much like a natural person does. Well, it's the same with nations in international law
27:49
I mean you can't invade a nation you you you can't or shouldn't Interfere with a foreign nation's internal affairs.
27:59
You're meddling foreign nations. Now you you can't You know, you can't steal national property one nation from another
28:10
So, you know, that's that's the Westphalian World Order. Basically, it applies the Ten Commandments to to the the legal person of the nation -state
28:20
And of course Rome's very unhappy about that because Rome Rome is
28:25
Rome is globalist. I mean Rome the Roman Catholic Church is the premier globalist organization in the world They want to rule the world.
28:32
They want the Antichrist Pope to to run the run the entire world
28:38
You know these they had this thing, you know went when a Pope was Put in office. I'm what way for some reason
28:45
It's escaping me the right term for when a when a Pope was took the office of the papacy
28:51
But he would be crowned with this this tiara as a triple crown in the triple crown Represented the the triple powers of the
28:58
Pope, you know that he was governor of the world father of kings and vicar of Christ and I Mean, that's of course.
29:07
He's none of those things, but that's that's how they try That's how the Roman Catholic Church styles and that's the how the
29:12
Pope styled themselves Romanism is globalism. So when you hear about the globalists think the
29:19
Roman Catholic Church Now again, there are other flavors. There are other types of globalists. There are other people that like globalism as well
29:25
But the Roman Catholic Church is the premier organization. It's not the World Economic Forum. It's not the
29:31
United Nations. It's the Roman Catholic Church And You know in in these these bishops
29:38
I mean they these bishops in the US Constant Catholic bishops constantly attack the sovereignty of the United States of America I mean they they do this every day 24 7 365 days a year.
29:51
They never stop And this letter is just I I could sit here and go I I could
29:57
Write a lengthy article every single day. I could dedicate an entire website just to Rome's attack
30:05
On the on the sovereignty of the United States of America And I mean and I would have an endless supply of material.
30:12
I mean, it's amazing how much of this stuff there is and it never stops Um, let's see, here's another just another example, okay, so this is from the
30:20
National Catholic Reporter and It's got a headline here in newer Catholic bishops host interfaith leaders to oppose mass deportation
30:29
So this is dated January 15th. So again, this is just a few days ago three days ago, and you've got this
30:37
Photograph here This is Bishop Mark Seitz center with microphone with Cardinal Joseph Tobin left and Pastor Omar Coronado right
30:45
During the interfaith gathering presented by the Archdiocese of Newark and faith in action at st. Lucy's Catholic Church January 13th 2025 in Newark, Newark, New Jersey That's interesting, you know, it says pastor
30:59
Coronado It almost makes it sound like maybe he's Kind of like an evangelical.
31:06
Well, that's the only time they mentioned him in this article Not to look into that. That's interesting. Maybe because it does say it's interfaith.
31:13
So I mean, you know, maybe they got some evangelical dupe to come in and You know play footsie with Antichrist here
31:20
But anyway, yeah, so you've got this this bishops is now Bishop Mark Seitz. So he is the bishop of El Paso, but he is also
31:28
I Think his term. I think what is he? He's the chairman of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops migration committee
31:36
So, you know El Paso, Texas is on the border It's in extreme Western, Texas right on the
31:41
Rio Grande right across from Juarez, Mexico And it's one of the big battlegrounds one of the big crossing points for illegal immigrants and of course this bishop, you know, he you know, so he does his work there locally in El Paso, but he's also taken it national as Chairman of the
31:58
US Conference of Catholic Bishops might they call it the migration committee It's really the illegal alien committee and their job is to find a way how to flood the
32:06
United States with as many illegal aliens As possible. That's what Bishop Mark Seitz his job is But he says here with the risk of losing part of our soul as a nation, so this is a time of great concern
32:19
Well, you know to see and this is the maybe the big thing the big takeaway That that you should take any time
32:25
You read one of these articles whether it's quoting a bishop or from some Roman Catholic source talking about immigration
32:31
They always always always always always I can't emphasize this enough. They always take the sides of the illegal aliens
32:39
In fact, you know what's good for you or for me as an American that matters not in the least to them
32:45
They have zero compassion on the American people now sometimes they're there have some sort of Window dressing rhetoric to make it sound like they actually do care, but they don't
32:56
I mean when push comes to shove You and I are simply if you're an American citizen, you know
33:01
Your job is just to fork it over as fork over your money your country anything the bishops demand and shut up That's your job.
33:10
Yeah, and and that's that's what Mark cites Once you do your job is to shut up and fork your property over because you deserve, you know, you
33:17
These these illegal aliens deserve it and you don't It's your punishment
33:25
So just just just keep your mouth shut and take your beating, you know, the beans will continue until morale improves
33:32
Something like that Um So, yeah, and and here's the thing about this again, you know,
33:39
I don't I don't even have to try hard to find these kinds of Stories, it's just a flood of this stuff
33:46
And one of the things and I think I've got a few of these articles here saved.
33:51
Hopefully we get to them here But where where the Roman Catholic Church is talking about? Oh, they're worried about deportations
33:58
You know, they're very much concerned about that and of course, you know, here's here's well Here's one of the articles when we just looked at, you know, we're they they oppose mass deportation
34:08
I guarantee you when those deportations start you're gonna see mark sites You can see these other bishops out there leading the charge to you know
34:15
Crying and weeping and wailing and you know donning sackcloth and ashes and you know rending their clothes and all this other stuff
34:22
Over these these poor poor put -upon newcomers who are being deported Well, they need to be deported.
34:29
I mean we need mass deportations. This needs to happen. This is an existential issue You know, sometimes that word existential people use that I think maybe a little bit too liberally
34:40
But you know when you describe something as existential, I mean, it simply means that you know It is a matter of life and death, you know, it is either it's do or die
34:49
You know, you know if you don't get this get this thing done, whatever it is if you don't deal with this existential threat
34:57
You are history so to speak as a nation and And yeah this this this whole thing with the
35:05
Biden regime flooding the United States with I don't know 10 million plus I don't I don't even know what the number is whatever the obscene number is
35:15
That is an existential threat to the United States of America. This has to be dealt with And and of course, you know the people who are fighting at the hardest are these
35:25
These these treasonous bishops Let's see here
35:32
Oh, here's another one. Yeah, we were just talking a little bit about Mark Seitz here He is here in this picture here.
35:37
And this is in Another immigration related story this time It says
35:42
Texas Supreme Court to decide legal battle over Texas over El Paso migrant shelters future and here's the header here
35:50
It says Bishop Mark Seitz, right? Here he is right here Speaks at a press conference in El Paso alongside
35:55
Ruben Garcia director of the Annunciation House on February 23rd 2024. So yeah, the
36:01
Attorney General of Texas Ken Paxton has been going after this migrant shelter in in El Paso, Texas Called Annunciation House and it it basically he basically accuses them of Essentially aiding and abetting illegal immigration in the
36:21
United States now, you know what the thing that's interesting is is the Annunciation House so far has been able to come so far as I can tell anyway has been able to dodge discovery in other words, you know, they the
36:36
State government Ken Paxton's office, you know, they they subpoenaed them and requested certain documents and as far as I am aware
36:44
Annunciation House has yet to turn over any documents now, maybe they have done some I haven't followed every
36:50
Twist and turn of this particular story, but I have followed it some of the past year as far as I am aware They have not turned over any evidence
36:56
My guess is they probably spent most of the last year destroying evidence if I had to guess again I I can't prove that but that that seems like that's typically how how that happens
37:09
We just don't know where all those records went. Yeah. Yeah I'm sure but so yeah, anyway, so here's
37:18
Mark Seitz, you know, once again, you know, he's He's he's defending illegal illegal immigration and he's defending those who support aid and abet
37:29
Illegal immigration into the United States of America. In fact here it says what the
37:35
Attorney General's office has argued Paxton's office Which is argued that shelter Network should be closed for violating state laws against human smuggling and operating a stash house
37:44
Stash house is a place where they you know, you get a whole bunch of illegal aliens You know they come crossing over the border and you take them you stick them in a house and you keep them there temporarily until you can guess
37:55
I guess get them on a bus and And send them to Chicago or New York or LA or some other sanctuary city
38:03
It's basically a collection place basically what it's described as you know, it's a sanctuary It's a stash houses place where you just you you temporarily house
38:12
Illegal aliens Annunciation houses lawyers have characterized the state's arguments as utter nonsense
38:17
Arguing that Paxton's efforts violate the First Amendment which guarantees the right to free speech association religion
38:23
And the Fourth Amendment which offers protection to unreasonable search and seizure as well I mean, yeah, the the First Amendment does offer free speech, but it doesn't it doesn't allow you to to commit a crime and Yeah, it does allow for freedom of religion
38:38
But it doesn't it doesn't permit the Roman Catholic Church from subverting the the American Republic.
38:44
You don't have that, right? They don't have that, right? And I suspect very strongly that they're probably guilty as charged again
38:52
I don't have evidence because of course the Annunciation House hasn't provided any evidence because they won't cooperate with the
38:58
With the subpoenas and they spend all the time trying to tie this case up in court I hope you know, my prayer would be that the
39:05
Texas Supreme Court will rule in favor the Attorney's General's attorneys Attorney's General office and that Some of the they would be able to get hold of the evidence that The Annunciation House has been up to some
39:19
I think probably some some pretty foul business. I Suspect very strongly that they are are guilty
39:27
Guilty of doing those sorts of things guilty of essentially immigration treason So, let's see.
39:33
What else do we have here? Oh, yeah. No, this is, you know again I call him Jesuit Joe for a reason, of course, you know,
39:40
Joe Biden. He has very close ties to the Jesuit order and now the
39:45
Jesuit order is not the only group within the Roman Catholic Church that pushes for illegal immigration and for The No, the the pushes irredentist policies, you know that that whole immigration warfare
40:00
That the Roman Catholic Church conducts it's not exclusively Jesuit, but again Jesuits are kind of the heart of the matter
40:09
You know, in fact I would initially I had a great opportunity to sit and talk with with Chris Pinto last week
40:15
Did an interview with him last Saturday the podcast version that is posted on the Trinity Foundation website he's such a great speaker and you know one of the things that he said it was very interesting because we were talking about his most recent film
40:27
American Jesuits and One of the things he said to me that they're really stuck with me was was that you know
40:33
Essentially the Jesuits have said to these these the Jesuits were created as part of the counter -reformation in the 1500s you know that is they were part of the
40:42
Roman Catholic Church's attempt to stamp out the Reformation and and win back the territories that had been lost to the to the preaching of the gospel
40:52
Now they were very upset that people were we're being saved and coming to the faith in the
40:57
Lord Jesus Christ and salvation by faith alone in him I Didn't like that one bit and they wanted to put a stop to this so they you know, there was this counter -reformation in one of the big components of it was the
41:10
Jesuits and one of the things that Chris Pinto said is that the the Jesuits message to the rest of the
41:16
Catholic Church was basically hey, you know you guys failed to To put a stop to the
41:21
Reformation, you know, we've got a plan you need to listen to us and So, I mean they have really taken the lead, you know in the last roughly 500 years at trying to to roll back the
41:34
Reformation And you know, we have this We have this president who
41:40
I mean is effectively I would say he is a Jesuit. I mean, he has very deep Jesuit ties
41:46
There's a term the Jesuit of the short robe that's sometimes been used and that that simply describes somebody who
41:52
Is a Jesuit or works for the Jesuits, even though that individuals may be not necessarily formally connected with them
41:59
I mean Joe Biden himself, you know is not a at least at least as far as we know anyway
42:05
Publicly, I mean he's not a member of the Jesuit religious order, but he has many close ties to the Jesuits.
42:10
He attends a Jesuit Church He had a Jesuit speak at his inauguration When he took the oath of office, he he used to do reams
42:20
Jesuit translation, you know, he put his right hand on that Bible He has close ties to To Pope Francis.
42:32
I know we talked about that. I think a bit last week So yeah, I call him Jesuit Joe and so the
42:37
Biden administration announced a sweeping deportation shield from nearly 1 million Migrants, this is another one of Joe's parting gifts and this was on January the 10th it says the
42:47
Biden administration announced Friday the nearly 1 million migrants Sudan Ukraine El Salvador and Venezuela a breeding ground for members of the vicious gang trend air
42:55
Agua And we'll be able to stay in the u .s For the next year and a half dealing a boat a blow to president -elect Donald Trump's hardline immigration agenda
43:02
Well, it is a blow but you know, it's it's not going to stop the deportations
43:10
And you know what this is is there's this this just I mean I would again call it a treasonous program
43:16
They call it temporary protected status, but it's allowing these people to stay here in the United States of America They really have no legitimate business being in the
43:25
United States of America and who need to go and if they stay here for another Year and a half. Well, then they need to go after that This this nonsense needs to stop
43:38
Um, let's see what else we have here here's something from Let's see.
43:43
Oh, this is from Oh the Catholic review analysis migrants and u .s Programs highly vulnerable to mass deportation push.
43:49
Well, if they're here illegally, well good. They need to go. I Mean they could leave right now on their own accord if they wanted to And if they're smart, they will you know,
43:59
I mean, you know that yeah I I would would hope that they would have enough sense to say, you know
44:05
You know the the jig is up and it's it's time to head back home Yeah, I mean they have that opportunity to do that.
44:12
They can they can do it the easy way or they can do it the hard way but I mean, you know allowing these people to stay in the country allowing these people to Forcing the
44:24
United States of American citizens to support them with their tax dollars Yeah, this is no this is an outrage and this needs to stop
44:35
So here's another one Oh Bishop says Lake and Riley act mass deportations of vigilante approach
44:41
Well, no, they're not, you know vigilante approach usually the word vigilante I mean that describes people who you know, sort of take the law private citizens who take the law into their own hands
44:51
This is not vigilante approach. This is a this is a lawful approach you know deportations these things are you know, when they're done they will be done under the the rubric of law
45:03
Under you know legal resolutions, so no, it's not vigilante justice and this
45:11
This this bishop who's talking this stuff. I guess this guy's name Nicholas DiMarzio.
45:16
Yeah, I mean he's he's not a not a good guy And you know, he's certainly not someone who has the interests of the
45:23
American Republic at heart Here's another story this this one's
45:30
It says Reuters 500 ,000 school -age migrant children have arrived since 2022 Can you imagine that 500 ,000, you know, and this gets back to this whole cost issue, right?
45:40
You know, I mean 500 ,000 children all of whom according to federal law you and I have to pay for their education
45:49
I I think I did a piece a week or two back. I had a friend from a Friend from Texas send me an article talking about how in in Dallas Fort Worth the
45:58
Catholic Charities was Working hard to funnel all these illegal alien children to this school This English is a second language school.
46:06
Well, those things cost a fortune You know an American P in the
46:11
American people are having to are being forced to to subsidize this stuff That is they're being forced to subsidize the destruction of their own countries via their tax dollars
46:28
So you got that going on and let's see what else do we have here that's the same story Yeah, here's a story now.
46:35
This is completely on a different tack here But I wanted to at least mention it here though, this is a story from January the 9th
46:43
So it's about a week old here But it says Anita Bryant who's anti -gay politics and did a singing career is dead at 84
46:50
That's just in the New York Times. Now, of course, you know, they're not going to To cut cut her any slack or to be at all friendly to her and it continues here
47:01
It says the former beauty queen and spokesman for Florida orange juice was an all -american entertainer before she began crusading against LGBTQ rights and Just a few thoughts on I mean,
47:11
I actually I remember her from the 1970s You know when I was a kid she had you know talks about her being a a spokeswoman for Florida orange juice
47:20
I guess that's the thing that I remember the most were the the ads that she did for, Florida orange juice and And that I think that's really how
47:28
I first got to you know know her name and then later in the 1970s she became very outspoken against the the homosexual agenda and Became well known for that and so it continues here
47:43
Anita Bryant the singer and former beauty queen who had a flourishing music career in 1960s and 70s, but his opposition to gay rights.
47:50
She called homosexual. She called homosexuality an abomination Well, it is That's biblical language.
47:57
That's what God calls. He calls an abomination. So she was entirely right about that much to the chagrin of the the
48:05
New York Times Says virtually destroyed her career and died on December 16th at her home in Edmond, Oklahoma.
48:11
She was 84 the cause was cancer her son William Green said and Let's see.
48:18
So it kind of continues on here for a bit You know, she says she as she went on USO tours with Bob Hope performed during Billy Graham's evangelical tours and co -hosting nationally televised parades
48:30
Saying the national anthem at the Super Bowl and it doesn't give a year there Most memorably she represented the
48:38
Florida Citrus Commission in a long campaign of television commercials Which she sang come to Florida sunshine tree.
48:43
I come to the Florida sunshine tree. Sorry You know and off of the tag like tagline breakfast without orange juice is like a day without sunshine.
48:52
Yeah, I remember that Like I say, you know, it's hard for me to believe him. I mean, this was almost 50 years ago or right around 50 years ago
49:02
Sometimes I forget I'm pushing 60 that that seems hard to believe But yeah, so I remember that stuff
49:11
And that says now this is interesting. I've forgotten some of the details here But it talks about her it goes on some about her
49:18
Campaign her work for the Florida Citrus Commission, but then it gets down to the it's kind of the brass tacks here
49:25
It says then in early 1977 Dade County, Florida, which includes Miami where mrs. I'll call her mrs.
49:31
Bryant. They have news. I hate that I really despise that that's that's feminism and I I think you know,
49:39
I Won't go off a long tangent on this but I will say I do believe feminism is one of the most inhumane and destructive philosophies that has ever
49:49
Seen widespread adoption. I mean it is Seriously degrading and destroying our society in so many ways
49:58
Anyway, let's see the the times continues The Time about Dade County, Florida gave its final approval to an ordinance prohibiting discrimination against homosexuals
50:10
Oh, and by the way, you know feminism and homosexuality have a very close relationship And and if you think about it
50:16
It really shouldn't be surprising because feminism on the one hand believes in the equality of men and women
50:22
And when they say equality, I mean, you know depending on the feminist. I mean, they literally mean equality in every possible way
50:30
That is not what the Bible teaches Now the Bible teaches that we have men and women have equal dignity before God that they bear the image of God But they are not the same
50:44
There is actually a thing, you know There there are roles for men and roles for women and I know that that drives some people up the wall
50:51
But that's the revealed Word of God. I Know that the feminists hate the patriarchy but Patriarchy is
51:00
God's will for the human race just means the rule of the fathers rule by fathers and And that is
51:07
God's design for mankind. That's not a bad thing. It's a good thing And the lack of that is one of the major things destroying
51:17
Western society But anyway, I didn't get mean to get mean to go off on a tangent on the word nizz
51:25
But that's that's a a term that I truly hate and despise with all my heart But anyway, this it continues here a group of opponents led by And this is
51:37
Bryant turned up to protest the ordinance condones Immorality and discriminates against my children's rights to grow up in a healthy decent community end quote.
51:45
She said well, yeah, she's right about that She founded save our children an anti -gay organization that gave rise to the modern -day religious rights strategy of tying
51:53
Homosexuality to perceive threats against children. Well, I mean, it's it's not just a strategy.
51:59
It's it's also the truth You know, I guess you have a strategy of telling the truth well,
52:06
I mean I guess if that's that's the you know about about Homosexuality and those who practice it.
52:12
Well, I guess if that's a strategy, well, that's a good strategy. I would say It continues here her public image many called her a
52:19
Christian celebrity was changed forever Yeah, I think that's a true statement, I mean it certainly was changed permanently it talks about you know that she was blacklisted
52:34
And it continues here, let's see Someone says pushed a banana cream pie in her face.
52:40
Yeah, I think this is a good reminder here, too I mean all of this this gay this homosexuality
52:45
Jenna this is going on back in 1977 so that's 48 years ago almost 50 years ago
52:50
And so I mean this stuff that you see going on now You know with with you know, the the same -sex marriage and all of the stuff with the transgender
53:00
Transgenderism and homosexual these kinds of things this stuff has been going on for really over 50 years
53:07
Usually the the homosexual rights movement is generally traced back to 1969
53:13
Specifically there was a they call it the Stonewall riots took place in New York City And this
53:18
I believe is in the summer of that year. So I mean here we are. This was eight years later in 1977 and you see this stuff spreading across the nation at the time.
53:26
So this has been going on a while a Good long while it's been going to really basically my entire life
53:34
But it just took time to to get to the the level where we where we see it today
53:42
She says here I don't regret it because I did the right thing Yeah Anita Bryant said in a 1990 television interview sometimes you have to pay a price for what you believe is right
53:52
Well, that's true You know, that is a a biblical perspective. She was right about that Now it goes on to say she was born on March 25th 1940 in her grandparents home in Barnsdale, Oklahoma Okay.
54:04
Well, you know, that's I have my my grandpa Matthews He was born in Oklahoma the
54:09
Matthews family were living in Oklahoma in the early about a hundred years ago. So Got maybe maybe kind of a very distant tie in there
54:17
She was an Oklahoman and my grand my grandpa he was a he was a he was a native of Oklahoma as well
54:27
And let's see here So it says, you know, she sang in church local fairgrounds and routines appeared on the
54:34
Tulsa and Oklahoma City television stations So she was actually really very pretty close to the same age as my parents
54:40
Um Talks about some of her hits singing anyway, so so yeah, so, you know
54:46
Anita Bryant I mean, there's of course, I mean the the New York Times and other people like that Obviously don't like her very much but you know,
54:56
I think that she's someone who who did speak a lot of truth and so we
55:03
We're sorry to to hear her for passing but believe she is with the Lord Now even now
55:11
Now here's something here that was it was very interesting, you know that I remember years ago Hit this book.
55:17
I think it was in one of my English classes reading classes is called serendipity and and the term was at least the way it was was given to us the the the meaning of that word serendipity is sort of an accidental discovery and You know, what was interesting here is is
55:33
I had kind of an experience with that this past week I found something that that I wasn't even looking for and it just kind of happened to pop up As I was going through some things on X This was put out by somebody named
55:45
Aaron M. Wren, I'm not familiar with him But here's what he said. He says by the way, the word is getting out to evangelical parents that Hillsdale He's talking here about Hillsdale College is a
55:56
Catholic convert. Excuse me Catholic conversion factory It'll be interesting to see how this affects college choice going forward
56:04
And you read through some of the Comments by people.
56:11
Yeah, you find apparently that there are Numbers of Hillsdale college students are converting to Roman Catholicism.
56:19
I did not know that and in fact, I found a couple of articles. Here's one Fact this is from the
56:26
Catholic News Agency Says wheel of fortunes Pat Sajak is key leader at Hillsdale College a hub for Catholic converts
56:32
So this is dated September 3rd 2023 So it's about you know Not quite a year and a half old
56:37
But it says Pat Sajak the longtime host of popular television game show wheel of fortune Will be retiring after this upcoming season after more than 40 years net role
56:45
Sajak is Like a member of the family for the shows millions of fans a lesson in fact about the
56:50
Emmy winner is that he is the Chair of the Board of Trustees at Hillsdale College a small Christian classical liberal arts school in southern,
56:57
Michigan That is often bred as a as conservative in which one magazine is even described as being at the heart of the culture wars founded by free will baptist slavey abolitionist in 1844
57:10
Hillsdale defines itself as a non sectarian Christian as non sectarian Christian But Sajak's many
57:15
Catholic fans might be interested to know that Hillsdale has a thriving Catholic community of students and faculty has become something of a hub for converts of the
57:24
Catholic faith So you've got this Catholic paper boasting about all these Catholic conversions that are going on and since you're an average of about 15 students in Hillsdale convert to Catholicism each year
57:34
