- You're listening to radio looks listen, I'm your host Steve Matthews. Thanks for joining me for episode 84
- 00:29
- The title of this episode is Russia dumps the dollar So welcome back to the weekly white live stream for radio looks.
- 00:37
- It's great to have everybody here today Got a bunch of different things to talk about this week.
- 00:43
- It seems like you know, there's so much going on It can be almost overwhelming You've got all these streams of information these major stories going on and it can be a little bit difficult sometimes to Isolate and to kind of focus on some of the things that are important and that's one of the the things that I try to accomplish when
- 01:01
- I do these These podcasts and do a review talking a little bit about some of the news from the week
- 01:07
- That is I try to focus on some of the things that are important and maybe some things that sometimes people
- 01:13
- Maybe we tend to overlook So we're gonna go over some of that and the lead lead item To talk about today is
- 01:20
- Russia dumps the dollar but before I get to all that I had to say this that you know
- 01:25
- I saw this this post by a friend of mine on on Facebook today and he said he had this picture of his his sneakers and shoes and They were kind of grass -stained and he said opening day
- 01:38
- And and I knew him of course immediately what he was talking about He was talking about opening day for yard work Now it's kind of interesting that he said that because of course it was the same thing for me
- 01:46
- This was my first day going out and doing anything in the yard first time in the spring and I guess now we've got what?
- 01:52
- Another six or seven months of this stuff ahead of a ahead of me And You know,
- 01:58
- I kind of have a bit of a love -hate relationship with yard work I mean sometimes it can be kind of nice, you know
- 02:04
- I mean, I spend most of my time on my job sitting in front of a computer screen and it's kind of nice sometimes just to Get out
- 02:10
- Get out there and in the Sun and the wind and the elements and this kind of thing and do some some work, you know
- 02:17
- Whether it's mowing or trimming or weeding or whatever Sometimes it could be kind of fun and sometimes it can be like, you know
- 02:23
- I'd rather be doing anything else other than this This was the first time out today.
- 02:28
- So it was all kind of fresh and new here for for 2022 Of course, I know
- 02:33
- I'm gonna be sort of more. I think I was out there. Gosh. It was probably over three hours today Just doing stuff now,
- 02:40
- I mean it doesn't take that long every week but some you know, when you're first getting started you got a All the startup stuff that you have to do.
- 02:47
- So it was a little bit longer today than probably what it normally will be So anyway, yes, this was opening day for for yard work for the 2022 season so I'm sure that there'd be plenty more hours of work between now and whenever we shut things down probably sometime in I guess
- 03:06
- November or so and Enough of that stuff. So I wanted to talk a little bit about today about Russia dumping the dollar
- 03:14
- Now this is I started off with this is a really important headline And I think that it's probably one that is easy to miss, you know, it's one of these things
- 03:25
- It's financial stuff and so many times people they just you know, they they don't want to hear about things like this But this is a really important story and I want to draw your attention to it.
- 03:32
- It's got a headline here Putin signs decree ordering gas exports to be halted if buyers don't pay in rubles
- 03:38
- This is from Thursday, March the 31st and I'll read a little bit of it here and then we'll comment on it
- 03:44
- Let's see contrary to expectations of Vladimir Putin was bluffing about collecting rubles in exchange for Russian energy exports
- 03:51
- Moments ago a decree signed by the Russian president confirmed. That was not the case
- 03:57
- According to Bloomberg Putin said he'd signed a decree demanding payment in rubles for Russian gas supplies, which is set to begin
- 04:02
- April 1st That's previously reported According to the decree while Russia continue to supply gas at set volumes and prices
- 04:10
- It would demand that buyers of gas open accounts in Russian banks and warn that Moscow can halt gas contracts
- 04:17
- If buyers don't pay in rubles additionally new proceedings in Euros or dollars could be blocked pushing what many view as a bluff to the edge
- 04:28
- Putin said an active contract would be halted if demands are not met and explained the move is meant to increase settlements in national currencies
- 04:36
- So this is a really big deal. Now is part of this whole war in Ukraine the
- 04:44
- United States kicked Russia out of its Out of what's called the
- 04:49
- Swift system Which is a messaging system the banks in different countries all over the world use to settle payments and They made it impossible for Russia to use the
- 05:02
- Swift system And what this made what this effectively did is it cut Russian banks off from being able to transfer payments in and out of Russia?
- 05:10
- To banks, you know outs, you know from Russia to banks outside of Russia or to receive payments from banks outside of Russia Inside of Russia essentially it it isolated
- 05:21
- It's kind of like if you think about the Swift system is kind of like a bridge What they did is they they blew up all the bridges connecting the rest of the world's financial system with with Russia Or at least substantially did this anyway, so Russia is is saying well, you know, what we're going to do is we're gonna require anybody who wants to come pay for our gas in the in Russia is the the biggest supplier of natural gas to to Western Europe and And they this is actually piped in from Russia to Western Europe and Russia is saying okay going forward
- 05:58
- You're gonna have to pay us in rubles. And in fact, I think somewhere else
- 06:03
- I don't know if this article goes into it or not. I think there was some discussion that they would also accept gold as payment
- 06:10
- Which is also pretty pretty important thing. So they're not going to accept yours and they're not gonna accept dollars
- 06:16
- They will accept rubles. So what this does this is a really Significant thing and this is not the only example of this going on.
- 06:25
- I think I discussed a few weeks back where China and and Saudi Arabia were discussing settling
- 06:35
- Setting up a situation where China could buy Oil from Saudi Arabia using the
- 06:40
- Chinese national currency, which is the yuan Right now they have something that's called a petro dollar and and if China wants to buy oil from from Saudi Arabia They have to take their their national currency the yuan
- 06:52
- They have to convert it into dollars and then they have to use those dollars then to buy the oil well, they're talking about cutting out the
- 07:00
- US dollar altogether for oil purchases and And just buying directly using their own currency
- 07:06
- Russia's doing something very similar here where they're cutting out foreign currencies, you know, they say we're not going to accept euros anymore
- 07:12
- We're not going to accept u .s. Dollars. We're only going to accept rubles for the for our gas and And of course, it's not just gas either a
- 07:23
- Russia. It Russia's, you know, of course is a very large land area and they are a supplier of a lot of What we call commodities different kinds of commodities things that are very important a fertilizer for example is one of them
- 07:39
- Russia is a huge supplier of fertilizer and Apparently the the price of fertilizer is skyrocketing right now for farmers because Russian fertilizer is not available on the world market
- 07:52
- What all of this does when Russia says we're not going to accept US dollars when Saudi Arabia says well
- 07:58
- We don't we're not going to require US dollars anymore. What that does is it decreases the the the demand for dollars?
- 08:08
- worldwide and What that means is if there's less demand for dollars those dollars are going to tend to be worth less
- 08:17
- Not worthless, although they may be actually be worthless I mean worth less than what they are right now.
- 08:23
- And when when a currency any currency loses value the users of that currency experience it as rising prices, so As Russia is is accepting fewer dollars
- 08:39
- We're not accepting any dollars anymore if Saudi Arabia gets the point where they are not accepting as many
- 08:44
- US dollars There's gonna be less demand for US dollars That means the value of US dollars is going to tend to go down and what that means is as Americans We could be looking at Substantially rising prices now notice.
- 08:59
- I didn't say inflation. I didn't say we're gonna get a lot of inflation So we're gonna get rising prices inflation and rising prices are not the same thing
- 09:05
- Although that's usually the way they're reported in the press and I've talked about this before and it's probably worth mentioning this again
- 09:12
- Inflation is the abnormal growth in the supply of money. So it's the inflation is what the
- 09:18
- Federal Reserve does They create all of these dollars That's the inflation they create massive amounts of currency and The result of that massive amount of currency creation by the
- 09:33
- Federal Reserve is Rising prices, you know, we had the inflation report came out again
- 09:40
- I'm using the popular term inflation what is really was a report on rising prices is called the consumer price index and If I memory serves that came out in March for February It was a few weeks ago and it came out in March things maybe a couple weeks ago reporting on the
- 09:57
- February Right The February consumer price index and they said that the price has increased from February 2021 to February 22 2022 by about 8 %
- 10:10
- I think it was maybe even over 8 % and then they came out with the producer price index now the consumer price
- 10:16
- Index supposedly measures how fast prices are going up for people like you and me, you know Like when you go to the grocery store, you go buy something at at Lowe's or or Walmart or go online
- 10:26
- Something like this That's how fast the the prices for the goods and services that you and I would use now the producer price index
- 10:34
- Of course as you might get from the name that measures how fast prices are going up for businesses So when businesses, you know do business to business kind of sales, you know
- 10:42
- Maybe buy raw materials or buy goods wholesale things like this That's how fast the the the prices are rising for businesses and those actually even going up faster than on the consumer level
- 10:56
- And there's a lot of things going on right now that are are driving all of these rapid price increases You've got massive amounts of money printing by the
- 11:03
- Fed. That's the inflation you have the destruction, I would say the deliberate destruction of our economy and our supply chains by the the
- 11:14
- Biden regime and and by by other governments through things such as You know the the kovat lockdowns for example
- 11:22
- Or for instance Joe Biden Shutting down the the construction of the
- 11:28
- XL pipeline his very first day in in office he signed that that executive order doing that and also making it very hard if not downright impossible to I guess drill on Drool for oil on federal lands these types of things so he's deliberately constricting supply deliberately by his actions
- 11:49
- So, you know, there's another thing You know in these supply chains are broken, you know, it's kind of interesting
- 11:57
- I've you know, you how many times have you tried to go out and buy something fairly simple and found that you can't get it
- 12:03
- At the store. I mean, I think we've probably all experienced that over the past year or two years well
- 12:08
- I mean that's because that you know, all of the businesses have been shuttered again through things such as as lockdowns or Various regulations and some of the stuff that the the
- 12:18
- Biden regime is doing They're making it very difficult for business businesses to function and In fact, you know when we talk about new rising say fuel prices, for example,
- 12:28
- I mean it seems to me it's almost as if The the powers that be you know, these these great resetters these kinds of globalists out there
- 12:37
- I think they're trying to drive the price of a fuel up of gasoline up In order maybe to to make the electric cars that they all want to foist on us more attractive
- 12:48
- That seems to be the what's what one of the things that they're doing
- 12:54
- So anyway this whole thing going on with with the loss of the dollars reserve currency status
- 13:00
- That's another big driver of rising prices and that's something that could be huge. In fact,
- 13:05
- I saw an article I don't have it here in front of me. Maybe I maybe I should have saved it here or brought it up when
- 13:12
- I was getting ready for the show here, but the there was a An article that I saw this past week where they were talking about massive massive food inflation and In fact, let me see if I could find that because it was it was actually pretty striking
- 13:30
- Let's see here There let's try this again here try something else
- 13:43
- Yeah, I Don't know. I know that it's in here somewhere, but I'm not gonna be able to find it right now And I see there's a story there
- 13:51
- I'm talking about rents up 40 % in some cities that was from back in January So yeah, there's there's all kinds of stories in the news about massive amount of inflation, but this one particular
- 14:02
- Article when I was thinking about looking for we're trying to find it was talking about Prices for food going up Particularly beef or meat
- 14:12
- I should say By huge percentages. In fact, if memory serves me correctly I think they were talking about possibly
- 14:18
- Chicken going up by some ridiculous thing like 40 % and they're talking here about in the next few months so this is the kind of stuff that we have coming and you know, it's it's one of the things that we need to know about as Christians because You know, there's that that verse and I go back to this again
- 14:36
- It's it's from Proverbs and it says, you know, the prudent man foresees trouble coming and hides himself
- 14:42
- But the foolish pass on And is punished So as as Christians, I mean our job is just to do two things
- 14:51
- I mean we need to foresee, you know, we need to be able to apply the scriptures, you know And we can tell when we're being we need to be able to to have good discernment you know, we need to be able to tell when we're being hoaxed when we're being lied to When public officials are doing things that are not in the interest of the nation
- 15:11
- That are not constitutional that are not biblical And of course, we've got lots and lots of examples of that sort of thing going on We need to be able to see that and then we need to be able to take effective action to hide ourselves
- 15:26
- So there's two things we need to do we need to we need to foresee trouble coming and we got a lot of trouble coming from the
- 15:32
- Biden regime and And we need to hide ourselves. We need to use wisdom to find ways in advance
- 15:40
- To to try to cushion the blow from some of this stuff that's coming because it's going to come I don't see how there's any way that we're going to be able to involve avoid a massive
- 15:49
- Devaluation of the US dollar and you and I need to get ready for that That something is very important.
- 15:56
- Don't get caught one day you're going in the store and saying oh my gosh You know chickens gone up by 40 % of from what it was last week.
- 16:02
- Don't be that person Don't be that person So anyway, you know there was another something else
- 16:11
- I wanted to to mention here, too is there was a Maybe I've mentioned this before but I wanted to say it again
- 16:18
- There's a YouTube channel that I've come to like here over the last. Oh, I don't know year So it's called the economic ninja and the the fellow that does
- 16:27
- I don't know his name He just calls himself the economic ninja but but he's he's really good at he does a video pretty much every day and Not only does he do?
- 16:39
- Frequent videos he does them. They're fairly short videos are typically eight to ten minutes or so tops
- 16:44
- And and what he'll do is he'll talk about Various things that affect all of us in terms of you know money economics
- 16:54
- Entrepreneurship these kinds of things and he does a really good job talking about complex subjects Like say all the stuff going on with Russia and in putting it in very terms
- 17:03
- They're easy for for people to understand so he's not trying to wow you with all of his knowledge he's actually really good on camera and I've I've found that his videos are really really quite good at Explaining some things that maybe you know
- 17:19
- Maybe not all of us are our experts in international finance and things like this and he'll talk about things such as the what's going on with Russia and in their rejection of the dollar and talk about it in a way that is makes things clear and I think also gives
- 17:36
- You operate gives the viewers opportunity to To apply those sorts of things to his life
- 17:45
- So clarifies the subject and and he also, you know offer some good applications. So I would recommend that channel
- 17:51
- I I know I subscribe to it and I watch that pretty much every day and there's a lot of good stuff on there So if you wanted to find a channel, you know, hey, you know, where can
- 17:58
- I where can I go and learn something about money? Well, I think that's a good example of that. So I highly recommend again.
- 18:03
- It's the the economic ninja Now the next thing that I wanted to talk about here. Let's see if I can get this where it needs to be
- 18:11
- Yeah, I wanted to talk about Want to talk a bit about immigration one of my favorite topics and that's something of course we've discussed on this program something
- 18:23
- I've written quite a bit about and Here's a headline. This is some Fox News Goodness, when was this?
- 18:31
- Sometime here within the last few days. Oh, it's March 31st So I guess that was on on Thursday But the headline here it reads bill
- 18:37
- Malugeon dropping of title 42 policy will bring absolute chaos at the southern border So what's title 42?
- 18:44
- Well title 42? what that was is it was a
- 18:51
- Something put on during the Trump administration. It was basically that a Tool that was used a legislative tool.
- 18:58
- It was used to summarily deport That Migrants who showed up at southern border illegal aliens is really the correct term illegal aliens who showed up who were ill in that case it was it was having to do with kovat and they would if they
- 19:13
- I think what it was and and I Haven't I'm going by memory here But I believe what happened is if people test a positive they showed up with a disease.
- 19:21
- They were summarily deported Which is of course what what should have been done? but The but the
- 19:30
- Biden the Biden regime wants to get rid of that now and Let's let's read through this a little bit here
- 19:37
- It says a Malugeon reported on the policy change of dropping title 42, you know what it would mean for the border saying
- 19:45
- Quote, but as I'm sure you've heard they're talking about dropping title 42, which is going to be absolute chaos down here at the border
- 19:52
- DHS that's the Department of Homeland Security Says if it drops their projections are they need to prepare for upwards of 18 ,000 illegal crossings every single day and just to put that in perspective, right?
- 20:05
- For you about how catastrophic that would be right now It's about 7 ,000 illegal crossings a day and everything is over capacity and everything is overwhelmed
- 20:14
- So you're talking about more than doubling of title? Doubling of title 42 drops now,
- 20:21
- I mean, of course, you know what this is in my opinion It's simply the deliberate takedown of the
- 20:27
- United States released attempt to take down the United States this is a
- 20:32
- Disaster and it's made 100 % by the Biden regime You know, this is something that's disastrous for the country, but I guess it's good.
- 20:42
- Yeah, I Think there there may be a number of things that are Driving this
- 20:49
- I think certainly one of them Maybe I think probably the biggest one is is Biden is simply carrying out the policies of his father in the
- 20:56
- Vatican Of course, I'm talking about Antichrist Pope Francis You know that that's this is this is the
- 21:04
- Pope's immigration policy in action Flood the nation with millions and millions and millions of immigrants.
- 21:10
- No, it's not not immigrants illegal aliens That's what this is They're flooding the country with illegal aliens
- 21:18
- And it's not just that they're going to stick the American people with the tab for this stuff
- 21:24
- And this is an absolute outrage And this is something that's being carried out again in accordance with With the
- 21:32
- Pope with with the Pope's approach to to immigration. And of course, why does the
- 21:38
- Pope want mass? Illegal immigration well because what that does is it tends to weaken nation -states and Weakening nation -states is one of the prime directives of the
- 21:49
- Vatican because of course the Vatican is globalist This is it's not just the Pope's Immigration policy is there's not just antichrist immigration policy what this is
- 21:59
- Maybe even to to make a little bit more explicit to is it is a globalist Immigration policy in going back, you know
- 22:09
- I've talked some about the the Westphalian world order the Westphalian world order is what created the modern world it came out of the the the peace of Westphalia, which settled the
- 22:18
- Thirty Years War in 1648 and What it did is it it set up a system of nation -states
- 22:27
- All of which were so so the highest level of government in the Westphalian system Which is the system that we still have today, by the way
- 22:36
- The highest level of government is national government. There's no Supranational government.
- 22:41
- There's no regional government. There's no world government There's national governments in those national in those national governments of course, they're free to to interact with one another and to If they need to to make treaties with one another these types of things
- 22:57
- But there's no party that stands over top of national governments Because of course that's exactly the system that existed during the
- 23:06
- Middle Ages under the Popes You know under the system of Antichrist all of the nations of Europe They were vassals to the
- 23:13
- Pope And of course, this is something that the the Roman Catholic Church wants to bring back and they're very open about that You know when
- 23:20
- I talk about the the globalist ambitions of the Roman Catholic Church, sometimes I think people think oh, you know
- 23:26
- Well, that's just conspiracy theory. Well, no, it's not in fact I mean you can go into Papal documents and you can find all over the place how these people cheerlead for world government.
- 23:39
- They love one world government Yeah, they love the idea of globalism
- 23:44
- They love the idea of the the great reset and of course as a as a son of Rome and as an attendee of a
- 23:51
- Jesuit Church, I mean Joe Biden is hastening to carry out Carry out this this vision that that we have from the
- 23:59
- Vatican And of course, it's very destructive to the United States of America. It is unchristian.
- 24:05
- It is immoral. It is unconstitutional You have the the
- 24:11
- Biden regime I mean they are shirking their their most basic duty that is to Carry out and enforce the laws the
- 24:17
- United States of America and they refuse to do it. I mean, this is an impeachable offense and You know, it's kind of interesting there there are some
- 24:27
- Democrats that are going around they seem to be scared to death of this whole thing I just Yeah, I mean they well they should be they should be scared of it.
- 24:36
- I Don't know. I mean, I I hope you mean it's it's my prayer that the Democrats are punished and punished very severely
- 24:44
- In the fall elections and the congressional elections. I don't know. It should be interesting to see what happens.
- 24:49
- It definitely will be You know, are they gonna try to pull some election shenanigans like they did in 2020
- 24:55
- Well, maybe I'd in fact it wouldn't be surprised if they try to Because that's just how they roll. You know, that's that's what they do.
- 25:03
- That's that's how the Democrats do things Because and I've said this before, you know, the
- 25:09
- Democrats are the party of rum Romanism and rebellion. That's what they are They can't not be that Yeah, they are the political home of the
- 25:18
- Roman Catholic Church in the United States of America And the Roman Catholic Church is in league with the devil, you know
- 25:24
- And that's why you get these kinds of destructive policies. Whenever you have Roman Catholics get their hands on the levers of power in a nation.
- 25:32
- This is the kind of stuff that you get. I mean and In Joe Biden is the
- 25:38
- Biden regime. They are working double overtime to Destroy this country as fast as they possibly can and you know
- 25:48
- You're seeing that at the southern border and it looks like we're going to get that Even even more so here within the
- 25:56
- I think it's sometime in May when that title 42 supposed to go away So, I don't know there's still some time between now and when that actually goes into effect so, you know, who knows maybe maybe you know if we pray about it and Contact our senators contact our representatives.
- 26:11
- Maybe something can change. I don't know but I think it certainly is is something that as Christians as Americans that we need to be very concerned about this
- 26:21
- This is a big deal and one of the things that happens so oftentimes, you know We've you know We went from kovat kovat kovat to Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine and in one of the big problems
- 26:30
- One of the things it's a problem for you and me. It's a strategy I think for the people that want to implement this stuff is they just flood flood us all with with so much
- 26:41
- Information that that we get lost. It's like look over here over here here There you know and our heads are spinning around 360 degrees and of course over the past month a little bit over a month now
- 26:53
- It's been all the focus is on the Ukraine war. There's been very little discussion about kovat There's been very little discussion about immigration.
- 27:02
- All those things have been suppressed and have been subordinated to everything going on in Ukraine And so when you have a big story like like say
- 27:09
- Ukraine going on that's a great time for these Dishonored dishonorable and dishonest dastardly
- 27:20
- Democrats It's not just Democrats either there. There are dishonest Republicans and people that you cannot trust in Republican Party, but Let's just say these these dishonest politicians prelates and what -have -you.
- 27:35
- It gives them a wonderful opportunity to Push forward with a lot of their evil schemes.
- 27:42
- Well, everybody's eyes are focused on something else And unfortunately, that's that's the way so often things go.
- 27:51
- So That's that's what's going on with immigration. Let's see if I had anything else on here Oh, there is one thing here and just you know, since we were talking some about about the
- 27:59
- Pope about the people Antichrist Here's a story If the headline
- 28:04
- I apologize looks like the video dropped out on my on my live stream again I've been having a lot of problems with that here recently.
- 28:11
- But anyway, we'll keep going. It's got a headline here it says refugee drama to dominate Pope's weekend trip to Malta and Pope Francis, I guess is in Malta here this weekend.
- 28:23
- And let's see if we read through here I guess there's all these refugees going on with the as a result of the the war in Ukraine and There's a quote in here that I wanted to find it's just it's so very typical of The kinds of things that that the
- 28:44
- Pope says, okay, here we go in a telephone interview This one fellow.
- 28:49
- He he was talking about Francis He says he expected Francis to raise the migration issue That's why he was in Malta Not least because of the welcome
- 28:57
- Malta showed the Apostle Paul when he was shipwrecked off Malta around 80 60 en route to Rome according to the
- 29:03
- Bible account Maltese people showed Paul unusual kindness the type of welcome Francis has said he hoped to be extended to all migrants okay, so the the
- 29:14
- Bible did does comment as it's in I think the account of that is in Acts chapter 27 and 28 and it does talk about the the people of the island of Malta when you know
- 29:26
- They they shipwrecked on Malta, you know the the ship with Paul I guess there are a hundred or so other people or at least on the ship and When they shipwrecked the area talks about, you know, these people, you know greeted them, you know show them great kindness now
- 29:42
- Here's a few things about it first of all it was a shipwreck with maybe about a hundred people on it or so and Secondly, if you go on and you you read the rest of the account there in Acts after three months they all left
- 29:54
- But what ends up happening with these these migrant flows the Vatican pushes these into countries, you know
- 30:01
- The the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, you can see this kind of thing carrying out this Vatican policy Whenever people are brought into this country the
- 30:08
- US Conference of Catholic Bishops fights tooth and nail against the removal of even a single person
- 30:15
- You see them put out these these press releases where they whine about the removal of temporary protected status for Various people there was one group
- 30:28
- Temporary protected status what that is It's a a special status in the United States where if and I think it has to do mostly with natural disasters
- 30:36
- So if if there's some extraordinary circumstance that happens, maybe typically a natural disaster Maybe it doesn't have to be just a natural disaster, but say like a hurricane or something that destroys a country
- 30:46
- They will allow people Foreign nationals of that country to remain in the
- 30:52
- United States and I guess if people come here from that country You know They they can come here and and stay the idea is they can stay until such time as they're ready to go back
- 31:01
- Well, there are some groups that have been here over 20 years you know from hurricanes and various other earthquakes and various other kinds of disasters and they're still here and every time the
- 31:13
- It's brought up to to revoke the status of the temporary protected status the
- 31:18
- US Congress Catholic Bishop screams bloody murder and Fights tooth and nail for the removal of even one of these people and it's ridiculous
- 31:26
- I don't tire program should be done away with it's just become abusive and it becomes a another excuse for dumping costs on The American people it's become a fraud and I think the only thing
- 31:36
- I think to do is just get rid of it and that's unfortunate, but I mean it's it's it's the
- 31:43
- Things have gotten to the point where it's just it is an abuse of the American people of Their kindness and it needs to stop
- 31:52
- Now I've just frankly I've just had it with the whole thing so next thing
- 31:59
- I wanted to talk about is hungry Now I've talked a little bit about hungry from time to time here and I wanted to bring this up again because the there's a big election in Hungary tomorrow,
- 32:12
- I guess for The the federal government and I guess the it's going to be a case of you know, will little
- 32:19
- Victor Orban Managed to remain in control of Hungary and this is something that is of interest to Christians Because of who
- 32:29
- Victor Orban is I wanted to find That story I thought that I did Well, I I guess
- 32:36
- I didn't didn't save it But there was there's a a story that was put out a few years ago
- 32:42
- It talks and it talked about Victor Orban being the world's most powerful Calvinist Which is true.
- 32:50
- I Think that that is I can't think of any other cow of any other head of state. That's in it That's openly a
- 32:56
- Calvinist and he seems to be Victor Orban does a he seems to be a true believer not someone who just says that in a
- 33:06
- Nominal Christian, but he he seems to actually be a Christian. I mean, I I don't know him I'm just using my own judgment my own observation of him from afar
- 33:15
- He is a Calvinist. He's a member of I think it's Hungarian Reformed Church or something like that But he's going to be up I guess he or at least his party is
- 33:25
- I guess there's gonna be the the national elections are tomorrow on on April the 3rd and Of course there are a lot of people that hope he loses
- 33:33
- I mean the entire globalist community hopes he loses because Victor Orban stands up for Hungarians Victor Orban actually conducts the business of Hungary with the the legitimate best interest of the
- 33:47
- Hungarian people in mind and of course This is incredibly offensive to all of the the globalist nutjobs cranks
- 33:55
- Incompetence and fools that are out there right now. And of course I'm thinking like for instance the people in our own government
- 34:02
- That conduct the policy of the United States In a way that is is actually destructive of the
- 34:08
- American people Unfortunately, that's that's just the way things are done now That's just how we roll and that's how most of the world world rolls
- 34:17
- And I suppose that probably to a large degree maybe not exclusively but to a large degree traces itself back
- 34:23
- To the activities of the Roman Catholic Church So anyway,
- 34:30
- Victor Orban and I say it's gonna there. There's a big election in Hungary on the 3rd And let's see.
- 34:36
- Here's a headline. It says Ukraine war overshadows Hungary's election as Orban seeks fourth term now this particular
- 34:43
- Story, I want to just read a little bit of it here. It's called n -world is the name of the news organization
- 34:50
- I'm not really familiar with them But just listen to the I'm gonna read through just a little bit of this and just listen to the language that they use to describe
- 34:57
- Victor Orban quote Hungarians go will go to the polls Sunday in an election overshadowed by the war in neighboring
- 35:04
- Ukraine as strongman leader Victor Orban tries to Turn the conflict to his advantage despite his usually friendly relations with Moscow After 12 years in power during which critics say
- 35:15
- Hungary has turned into an increasingly flawed democracy the conservative. Mr Orban is facing his closest race yet after six opposition parties banded together to name a single challenger
- 35:25
- The opposition has seized on a stinging inner Intervention by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky which he bluntly told mr
- 35:33
- Orban to decide which side he was on to portray the prime minister's a stooge of the Kremlin Mr.
- 35:39
- Orban in turn tells voters that the left -wing parties would drag the country into a war that his government is staying as far away
- 35:44
- From as possible or refusing to ship weapons to Ukraine or block fossil fuel imports from Russia The answer the question of where Hungary stands is that Hungary is on Hungary's side said.
- 35:55
- Mr. Orban brushed off. Mr Zelensky swipe is the theatrics of a former actor The usually migrant skeptic.
- 36:03
- Mr. Orban has also used Hungary's acceptance more than 360 ,000 refugees from Ukraine to counter his government's image as a problem child of Europe The polling shows mr.
- 36:13
- Orban with a narrow but persistent lead over the opposition front But challenger
- 36:19
- Peter Marquis a accuses the ruling Fidesz party of dirty tricks to secure a fourth term.
- 36:25
- Well anyway Enough of that stuff But but it's so interesting to see the language that you that the that's used to describe
- 36:34
- Victor Orban and kind of going back through, you know, he's described as a as a strongman leader
- 36:42
- And let's see. It also talks about Hungary being viewed as an increasingly flawed democracy.
- 36:48
- He's described as a conservative So, you know, he's a very bad person We're told that he's a very bad person
- 36:57
- I mean you you definitely get that sense when you read through this story Well, Victor Orban is not a very bad person.
- 37:02
- In fact, I think a lot of what he's done is heroic I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. I'm glad that Victor Orban has
- 37:10
- Opposed burying Hungary in a flood of illegal migrants That will destroy that nation.
- 37:18
- He stood up for the Hungarian people. He should be congratulated. He's doing exactly what a
- 37:24
- Civil magistrate should do. You know, there's two functions of the civil magistrate in in the
- 37:32
- Bible, you know, there's To punish those who practice evil and to reward the good and by rewarding the good, you know, you pass laws that Are in in in forest laws that are in accord with the scriptures
- 37:46
- You know in nowhere in the scriptures does it say that governments have the responsibility or even the right to sacrifice the well -being of their own?
- 37:54
- People for foreigners. They don't have that responsibility. They do not have the right to do that They don't have the right to take money from their own people and give it to foreigners.
- 38:04
- That is called theft It's a violation the Eighth Commandment. It's theft they're stealing from their own people and of course our government here in the
- 38:11
- United States steals from the American people all the time and Gives this money to foreigners in some of them in some cases.
- 38:17
- We're talking about foreigners crashing our borders I mean the
- 38:22
- American people have zero obligation to pay for anything For these people who are flooding into the country
- 38:29
- They need to go home, but here's a this is a story here from the
- 38:38
- Washington Post talking further about About Orban Despite Putin ties
- 38:44
- Hungary's Orban gains popularity before election. How could that possibly be despite that and So he so the story
- 38:52
- I'll read a little bit of this here for you It says as recently as recently as eight weeks ago Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was cozying up to Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow Trading quips at a joint news conference and defending
- 39:04
- Russia's security demands as normal Well, I think Russia's security demands have been pretty normal That's a whole nother story.
- 39:12
- I don't want to get into that too much right now. But yes, you know the The whole is as far as I'm concerned the vast majority if not the entire
- 39:23
- Cause blame for what's going on in Ukraine right now lies at the feet of the US State Department They wanted this war and they pushed this war deliberately
- 39:34
- As I said, that's kind of another story But here's what Orban said. He says I have quote.
- 39:40
- I have good hopes that for many upcoming years we can work together He's talking about Talking about Orban was talking about Putin In what by his next count was their 12th meeting?
- 39:51
- In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It's quickly become dangerous to have a warm relationship with Putin But Orban is the exception
- 39:58
- He's angered his neighbors and triggered hawkish harsh blowback from Ukrainian leaders for what they see is a wishy -washy reaction to the war
- 40:05
- Yet by portraying himself domestically as a steady hand navigating between larger world powers He's gained ground on the political opposition in Hungary and increased his odds of winning a fourth consecutive term as prime minister in a parliamentary election
- 40:17
- Sunday That would allow Orban to remain his position Maintain his position as Europe's anti -immigration strongman provocateur now now see
- 40:27
- Again, you know, we're talking about language be aware of language and you're reading news stories This is one of this is a really important point whenever you're reading news stories pay attention to the language
- 40:39
- He's Europe's anti -immigration strongman provocateur No, that's not what he is.
- 40:46
- What he is is he is a prime minister who actually takes seriously his duty to Ensure the
- 40:55
- Legitimate best interests of his own people He doesn't feel that he has the right to give away
- 41:01
- Hungary to give away the property of Hungarians To the rest of the world just to satisfy the globalists
- 41:10
- Victor Orban is doing the right thing and he should be congratulated for this But I mean when you read through the
- 41:15
- Washington Post, which of course is a globalist newspaper A lot of people think it's the mouthpiece of the CIA. I Think that's probably true
- 41:23
- But you know, he he's he's not some Some crazy person. He's not some
- 41:29
- Some autocrat. He's not some strong man. He is an elected prime minister.
- 41:35
- He's duly elected To his post and the Hungarians keep voting him back into power
- 41:42
- So, you know, maybe the Hungarians like what he's doing. That's just that that just may be possible
- 41:47
- I know that just bugs the living daylights out of people like the People at the Washington Post, but I think that it's true, you know, in fact
- 41:54
- Tucker Carlson did a story on on Hungary this past week and and this is what
- 42:01
- Tucker Carlson said he said This is quoting him quote. Why are they why are they trying to tell us a hungry as a hellscape?
- 42:08
- Maybe because Hungary's government self -consciously tries to serve the needs of its own people And if you see that there might if you see that here you might ask why is my government not doing that for me?
- 42:20
- Well, that's a very good question that Tucker asked. Why is the why is the American government? Not self -consciously trying to serve the needs of the
- 42:28
- American people. That's a really good question Well, because they're not I mean very obviously they're not doing that So, you know whose interests are they serving and why are they serving those interests?
- 42:41
- Very good question. Very good question indeed One thing it's interesting to hear and this is a story that continuing on with Victor Orban This is a story from back in November of 2021.
- 42:53
- It has a headline here it says as Joe Biden snubs Hungary Victor Orban fears election interference and It starts off here
- 43:01
- It says the Hungarian government has expressed concern that the u .s May try to interfere in its elections after the Biden administration declined to invite the country to a summit on democracy
- 43:09
- Yeah, I think that that's a very wise very perceptive Very perceptive statement by the
- 43:16
- Hungarian government It continues here foreign minister Peter And forgive me.
- 43:21
- I'm not pronouncing his name correctly, but Peter Sijarto said on Thursday that he believed the u .s
- 43:27
- Would use the Magnitsky Magnitsky Act to impose sanctions on Hungarian officials before the parliamentary election in April now
- 43:34
- I don't know if that's happened or not I don't recall hearing that that has happened, but he was suggesting that but of course
- 43:40
- There are also other ways that the that the United States could interfere in the Hungarian election
- 43:45
- And of course, I think that that's a perfectly legitimate concern because of course the the deep state here in the
- 43:51
- United States Interfered in the election in 2020. I mean they stole that election for Joe Biden So would you expect the
- 43:58
- Biden regime to try to interfere in the election and in the Hungarian elections? yeah, it's
- 44:04
- I think it's a real possibility and If they do try to do that, well,
- 44:09
- I pray that they fail completely And let's see here, oh and one last story this is like I say there's so much going on right now goodness
- 44:21
- Wanted to talk a little bit about the the situation with Disney, you know, maybe you've you followed some of this stuff in,
- 44:27
- Florida you know, they they signed that that anti grooming bill, you know, where the the prohibiting the
- 44:34
- Florida schools from teaching kids about About all this really perverted
- 44:40
- Sexual transgender stuff that's going on right now And of course, you know, the the left has completely lost their lunch over all of this
- 44:48
- I mean the the screaming and the we're wailing and weeping and gnashing of teeth from the from the liberals from the the homosexual lobby has just been off the charts and Of course
- 44:59
- Disney the evil Disney Corporation in Disney the Disney is an evil corporation
- 45:05
- I mean everything they do it seems like is just promoting evil continually And here's a headline here and it says
- 45:12
- Disney condemns Florida's don't say gay law says bill should never have been passed The Walt Disney Company is now vowing to help repeal the controversial legislation after previously saying it remade silent on the matter
- 45:23
- Well, they've gone and they've opened up a whole can of worms And of course
- 45:29
- Disney it's kind of interesting they've they've got Disney seems to have a lot of problems with employees who are
- 45:38
- Getting involved in in various types of grooming things. In fact, there was a tweet that I found by this fellow named
- 45:43
- Luke Rutkowski and he says seems Disney has a very serious groomer problem He cites all of these news stories here over the last
- 45:51
- I don't know if it over the last year or just maybe over the last few years and I read a few of these headlines To you for Walt Disney World employees arrested an undercover human trafficking scheme
- 46:02
- There's one Next one three employees of Walt Disney World arrested a major child sex sting in Florida.
- 46:09
- That's from 2021 Disney Security Guard shows up butt -naked to human trafficking sting 124 arrested sheriff says
- 46:17
- I think that was a couple years ago Fourth one theme park employees caught in sex stings child porn arrests and it goes back to 2014
- 46:27
- Florida child sex sting that's former workers from Disney SeaWorld and Universal Studios.
- 46:32
- That's in 2015 Child porn investigation Disney World Legoland employees among 11 arrested
- 46:38
- That's 2018 and Walt Disney World employee tried to arrange sex with eight -year -old girl according to the
- 46:45
- Department of Justice and that's Looks like was that 2019 maybe anyway, so those are just that's seven quick headlines right there
- 46:56
- From highlighting some of the Dirty deeds that have been done by by Disney employees and some really nasty stuff
- 47:05
- You know, and of course you you tend to wonder when you see things like that, okay What don't we know about you got to suspect?
- 47:12
- There's probably a whole lot more going on. It hasn't been been made public So yeah, Disney has a bit of a problem with that And one of the things that's kind of set off a bit of an uproar this past week in addition to just Disney coming out and saying that they're gonna try to work to repeal that law there was a
- 47:32
- While we just read the headline here. It says Disney exec vows more gay characters amid huge inclusivity push and There's an interview with this woman here.
- 47:41
- It says a Disney executive It says a Disney executive vowed more inclusivity in its productions as the entertainment giant works to make
- 47:49
- Underrepresented groups such as racial minorities in the LGBTQ community account for at least 50 % of its regular characters by the end of the year
- 47:56
- Carrie Burke president of Disney's General Entertainment Content said the company must do more to make its content more inclusive in a company -wide zoom call
- 48:04
- Monday That was later posted to Twitter I'm here as a mother of two queer children
- 48:09
- Actually Burke said on the call one transgender child and one pansexual child and also as a leader
- 48:15
- Well, maybe what she needs to do is quit her high -powered job and go home and be a mother to her family and pray and ask
- 48:22
- God's forgiveness For her bad parenting that's led to this and seek to try to do something to repair the damage
- 48:33
- But of course, you know, she's I guess she enjoys you know the the whole
- 48:39
- Feminist thing she wants to be a big wheel executive and on top of that then she wants to to not
- 48:46
- To celebrate, you know the fact that that her children that her two children are engaged in behavior that will send them to hell forever
- 48:55
- And that's just the truth. That's that's not trying to be nasty. I'm not trying to be mean to people I know that maybe sounds at all.
- 49:02
- That's really judgmental. Well, you know, it is a judge. Yeah, it's judgmental But as Christians were called to judge with righteous judgment
- 49:12
- And the Word of God completely condemns this kind of behavior. I mean her children are in danger are in very serious danger and They need to repent
- 49:23
- You know not be celebrated not be affirmed. They need to repent of their sins
- 49:30
- The article it goes on the talk talk here.
- 49:36
- I guess there's going to be a toy story spin -off called light year I guess it's gonna what feature Buzz Lightyear, you know, the the astronaut character from the the
- 49:43
- Toy Story movies and I it says here is a Photo a picture and it's got a caption says
- 49:51
- Disney has reportedly reinstated the gay kiss in the upcoming Toy Story spin -off light year Yeah, I can't help but conclude just Disney is as I said earlier
- 50:01
- It is Disney is an evil company and you know, I put something about this on Facebook this last this last week
- 50:08
- A Facebook friend of mine, you know, he made some comedy says yeah, this stuff was going on decades ago And of course he was right.
- 50:14
- I mean, I seem to remember Rumblings about this kind of thing even as far back as maybe the the 90s maybe even the 80s
- 50:21
- So it's this kind of stuff has been bubbling up In the Disney Corporation for many decades now, but it seems like it's really just gone next level
- 50:32
- I mean, it's really come out in the open big -time and in fact, it was kind of interesting there was a
- 50:38
- Twitter thread That was out there this past week. I guess you might call it more of a rant by Abigail Disney now
- 50:46
- Abigail Disney is the grand niece of Walt Disney her father her grandfather was
- 50:52
- Roy Disney who was Walt Disney's brother and Roy Disney was I was a co -founder of The Disney Corporation Walt Disney Corporation, so she's one of the family members.
- 51:03
- I looked her up She was had been she's got a very elite education see she went to Yale and to Stanford and I believe she got a
- 51:13
- PhD in philosophy from from Columbia Interesting enough Columbia is like woke central
- 51:20
- Columbia is where the the Frankfurt School people came over from Germany in the 1930s and 40s and 1950s
- 51:28
- So the Columbia University is actually sort of the the epicenter of wokeness in the
- 51:34
- United States Because it was these these people the these people from the Frankfurt School that developed critical theory which has undergirded so much of Which is basically the intellectual underpinnings of the entire woke agenda.
- 51:49
- We're talking about critical race theory with about women's studies where you're talking about You know the the homosexual agenda
- 51:56
- All of this stuff can be traced back to the work of the the Frankfurt School and their their critical theory
- 52:02
- So it's interesting that she went to to Columbia University But without going too far into that I just wanted to read a little bit of it here
- 52:10
- She says like all radical ideologues The right wing has finally run amok and it's coming to devour the hand that feeds it business for my part.
- 52:19
- I am delighted It is the business world that has been either by act or omission feeding the opportunist right wing to distract
- 52:29
- Say us with culture war nonsense while they rifle through the till and empty everyone's pockets is anti -rogue woke right -wing nonsense is unsupported by a large majority of Americans in fact, most
- 52:42
- Americans are offended by it and wish they would it would just go away. Well Yeah, I certainly don't know that.
- 52:48
- I Would very much if she wants to talk about you know People who oppose all of this this wokeness from corporations like Disney is biting the hand that feeds it and the hand that feeds
- 52:59
- Now she calls him right wing. I mean, I would simply say Christians, you know, let's say no Well, maybe not not not everybody that's opposed to this as Christians, but certainly
- 53:07
- Christians are opposed to this as well. They should be and And she says that somehow business is the hand that feeds us.
- 53:15
- Well, no, I mean American corporations have become incredibly hostile to the Bible to the scriptures to to anything
- 53:22
- Christian and in fact Most it seems like a pretty high percentage of American corporations are pretty actively opposed to Christian ideas
- 53:34
- Disney certainly just being one perhaps certainly a premier example of this Now she talks about all this opposition to this is this anti -rogue
- 53:44
- Anti -woke right -wing nonsense as she calls it is unsupported by a large majority of Americans.
- 53:50
- I don't know I mean she says that I mean she asserts that she doesn't provide any any kind of proof for that You know, it's a
- 53:56
- Twitter Twitter rant of sorts, but I I don't know that a large majority of Americans oppose that I know that certainly there is a significant segment of the population.
- 54:04
- Maybe that thinks that that this stuff Say the gay agenda is okay, but there are a lot of people who don't think it's okay
- 54:15
- I don't know what those numbers are and I don't intend to dive into it right now, but she seems to assert pretty pretty dogmatically that that most people think that That the whole gay agenda is just awesome
- 54:28
- And I'm not so sure about that. I Mean what
- 54:34
- I wish would go away actually is all the woke agenda to tell you the truth So, let's see here she continues you need two things to rule with a minority first You need to be constantly looking for fresh meat to throw to the minions to keep them riled up all the time that works until the herd thins
- 54:50
- So now they've come For American business. Well, no actually American businesses come for come for us.
- 54:58
- I Mean, it's absolutely shocking some of the complete bilge water that comes out of major American corporations
- 55:07
- You know, you've got this this this woman that one that executive up there and say yeah we want to have 50 % of all the the the characters in Disney films either be a minority or LGBT or maybe both
- 55:20
- I don't know and You know, you just want to get in the you know
- 55:26
- Disney seems to want to get into the face of people and thought thought shape them but you know somehow it's it's
- 55:34
- You know, it's it's conservatives it's Christians it's people of this sort that are coming for business. No, it's the business that's coming for the people
- 55:43
- You know, she doesn't seem to understand if who's initiated these attacks You know, it's businesses.
- 55:50
- It's people from these elite educational Institutions such as she attended they are the ones that are driving this stuff.
- 56:03
- I But you know this people like Abigail Disney won't let them do that and then they get upset when people say hey
- 56:11
- You know push back on this and she talks here But the second thing you need to rule with a minority is money lots of it
- 56:18
- Well, I mean first of all who I mean who is in charge and who who's who's ruling the country?
- 56:23
- It's woke people like Abigail Disney. It's not people who oppose the entire gay rights agenda.
- 56:29
- They don't rule anything I mean the Abigail Disney's of the world. They run all of the schools. They run the universities
- 56:35
- They run the businesses they run the government They run the media the entertainment industry there's not one single major organ of of American society
- 56:47
