You're listening to Radio Looks Loose and I'm your host Steve Matthews. Thanks for joining me for episode 75. The title of this episode is

00:29

Elite to People, Shut Up and Obey. Well, welcome to the podcast here.

00:36

This is the second podcast, already the second podcast I've done here in January of 2022. Well, I think it's practically 2023.

00:42

It's amazing how fast time flies, right? Hey, you know, I'm not a huge fan of winter.

00:48

And of course, we're really just getting winter kicked off here in Cincinnati. But, you know, one thing that I like to look at is

00:55

I like to look at the sunset and the sunrise. That's always something I just kind of encourage myself this time of year, because you gain about a minute of sunlight in the morning and a minute in the evening.

01:08

So you're picking up about, well, about two minutes a day between now and June the 21st.

01:15

And when I looked at the other day, I think it was a day or two back, I noticed that the sunset was at 5 .31

01:22

p .m. Now, back on December 31st, it was sunset at 5 .15 p .m.

01:28

So we picked up 16 minutes of daylight in the evening. That means we picked up 16 minutes of daylight in the morning. That means we picked up a total of 32 minutes, so over half an hour of daytime here in just the past few weeks.

01:39

I guess, what, it's about three weeks now, I guess, since the 21st, or almost three weeks, not quite three weeks.

01:45

So that's kind of encouraging, you know, when the weather's cold out there, when you got snow blowing around and all that other stuff,

01:51

I think, eh, the light keeps getting, staying a little bit more light every single day. And I use that as a way of sort of encouraging myself, especially through the months of January and February, because, quite frankly, the weather's not really all that great in Cincinnati in January and February.

02:07

You know, I had that day, it was a, I guess, a couple days after Christmas, like the Monday after Christmas, I think the 27th, where it was 70 degrees out.

02:16

And I actually went biking. I wore a short sleeve and shorts, and I went biking. And I didn't have to wear any kind of winter gear, any kind of anything like that, which is pretty amazing.

02:27

It's hard to believe I was doing that just a couple weeks ago. And then, I think it was yesterday, I got up pretty early in the morning, it was nine degrees out.

02:34

So that's a pretty big change in a very short period of time. But, you know, it is January, and, well, you know, single digit temperatures, they do happen around here.

02:44

We did have a little bit of snow this week, too. And it really didn't amount to all that much. I mean, it was quite literally a dusting.

02:51

And it's kind of weird how snow works around here, because it seems like, and I don't have any stats here to back me up on this,

02:58

I'm just kind of going by gut feel on this. But it always seems like when these big storms come through, they either go south of us through Kentucky, or they go north of us through Ohio.

03:09

But for some reason, there's always seems like there's this gap right where I am. And somehow snow either misses us one way or the other.

03:15

Like they had that really big snow. I think it was about well as early earlier this week, and that was one that it snowed in I -95 over there in Virginia, and all those people got trapped and, and they were up in arms.

03:28

I think there were some even some important government officials actually got stuck in the snow. And they had to suffer,

03:35

I guess, along with the with the plebs. And yeah, so there was a there was a big stink about that.

03:42

But that that whole system went south from south of us through Kentucky, we didn't get a get so much as even a flake.

03:48

On Thursday, we did get a little bit of snow. But like I say, it was just a really light dusting. All the heavy stuff stayed down in Kentucky.

03:55

So they're quite welcome to it. You know, there's really not as much advantage to having snow as there used to be.

04:00

And of course, when I was a kid, you know, snow days, you know, yay, snow days. I mean, there's

04:05

I mean, there's nothing better than getting a snow day, because you don't you don't expect it, you're not planning on you kind of hoping for it.

04:12

But you never know if you're really actually going to get it or not. And, and then those days when we would get it, that was just that was like the best thing ever.

04:18

That was better than Christmas. As far as I was concerned, there's nothing I love more than getting a snow day when I was a kid.

04:24

And, you know, when I was, of course, you get to be an adult and you're working, it's you have to have a lot more severe condition in order to get any kind of time off because of snow.

04:35

Well, I never really, I think maybe on one or two occasions, I had maybe a day shortened by snow.

04:42

But pretty much when you're an adult, that that kind of goes out the window, you know, you just you just don't get a whole lot of benefits out of snow.

04:49

But you get all the you get all the the negative side of it, you got to go out and shovel and all this other stuff.

04:55

And of course, the last couple years, I was working from home. And when you're working from home, obviously, you're not going to get a day.

05:00

It's like you get in there and you get your monitor on and you get to work. So yeah, whatever. So I mean, really, there's not a whole lot of benefit to snow at my age, which is unfortunate.

05:11

But sometimes I do like a little bit of it, but not too much. Let's see here.

05:17

Oh, and the other thing too, about snow days is how much they've changed. I mean, it used to be, of course, way back in day when I was a kid, you what you did, you know, how did you find out whether you had a delay or you were off?

05:26

Well, you had to listen to the radio. And they'd read through the whole list of all the schools that were off or on delays.

05:32

And you'd wait for your school district to be called. And either it would be the thrill of victory, you get the day off or it'd be the agony of defeat.

05:39

They wouldn't call your school's name. And then, of course, you'd think, well, these other people are getting off and I got to go to school.

05:45

Well, yeah, you know, that's an early lesson that life can be unfair sometimes. There's no question about it.

05:51

I guess now probably what they do is either they go online or maybe they even get a text alert. I don't know when I at my job, you know, they had a setup with a text alert if there's any kind of cancellations or delays or anything like that.

06:02

So I suppose probably schools do that too now. Anyway, so enough about that.

06:09

So back to the topic, and this was what I was going to talk about here today. There's a

06:15

I took the title of this particular podcast from a pretty famous headline.

06:23

In fact, I think this is probably one of the most famous newspaper headlines maybe in at least American journalism history.

06:31

And I've got it up here on the on the screen. And it's this headline is from 1975 in the New York Daily News.

06:36

The headline is pretty terse and it just reads this Ford to city drop dead. Sub headline is vows he'll veto any bailout.

06:45

So back in 1975, New York City was on the brink of going bankrupt and they were begging for a bailout from the federal government.

06:52

Gerald Ford was president at the time, and he refused to bail them out. Interestingly enough,

06:58

I'm sure that wouldn't happen today. But back in 1975, a president could still refuse to bail out a city, even

07:04

New York City. And so they ran this headline Ford to city drop dead. Well, Gerald Ford never really never told

07:11

New York City to go drop dead. But what he did do is

07:17

Well, let's see. Well, hi, Jennifer. Thanks for thanks for stopping by. I appreciate that. See her in the live stream chat there,

07:25

Jennifer. Thanks for stopping by. I always appreciate that. And anyway, so Gerald Ford, yeah, he he denied denied the bailout.

07:35

And so the New York Daily News, they come up with this headline. And I guess they wanted to be a little bit dramatic.

07:40

They wanted to grab people's attention. So Ford to city drop dead. And that has been a famous headline ever since that it was done on October 30 1975 by the the

07:52

New York Daily News. So there's that. So anyway, that's kind of the inspiration for today's title, which is elite to people, shut up and obey.

08:00

It's kind of the same sort of a thing. And this is one of the I think one of the things that's very disturbing to me about the way the way politics is handled today.

08:12

It used to be that politicians at least it may be some of them still do. But more and more, it seems like what we get is we get dictats from on high, rather than anyone trying to persuade us.

08:26

And I find that very disturbing. And there are several examples of this going on right now. And I wanted to just go through a few of these examples and, and show you exactly what

08:34

I'm talking about. Example number one of shut up and obey is this whole stink over COVID.

08:41

Now, in my opinion, and I'm giving you my opinion here, I think it's an elite, globalist type of an operation, where we're told by governments, news outlets, social media, the entertainment industry, schools, universities, and sadly, a lot of churches, even those that claim to be

08:57

Bible believing churches, that we all must be masked up, vaxxed, and stripped of our rights to stop the spread.

09:03

You know, and if we don't go along with that, we're killing grandma, and we're the problem. And just as an example of that sort of thing, there was a headline and this goes back to let's see this.

09:13

Okay, November, it was dated November 12 2021. This is from the New York Times. And I've got that up there on the live stream on the screen.

09:21

Headline says Biden mandates vaccines for workers saying our patients is wearing thin.

09:27

Initially reluctant to enact mandates. President is now moving aggressively to require a vaccination as the Delta variant races across the country.

09:33

Well, you know, here it is, it's two months later, everybody's forgotten about the Delta variant. Now it's Omicron, Omicron, Omicron, Omicron, Omicron. It's all

09:39

Omicron all the time. Yeah, how quickly these things move, you know, and of course,

09:45

Biden had promised months earlier, oh, there's not going to be any kind of there's not gonna be any mandate. Oh, no, no, no. And then he gets up there and he decides he wants to lecture the

09:52

Americans and that their patients is wearing thin. There's no good reason for them not to have been been vaccinated.

09:59

Your refusal has cost us all. He's talking about those who are not vaccinated. I mean, where do presidents

10:05

I mean, no president has ever talked to the American people like that in my lifetime. I mean, who's this guy think he is?

10:11

Yeah, he thinks he's I don't know. He thinks he's Pharaoh. He thinks he's I don't know, the king of Siam or something.

10:18

I mean, the arrogance, the extraordinary arrogance that comes out of his mouth is, is frankly, just truly shocking to me.

10:27

I mean, this is not the kind of government that the United States was set up to have. This is not somebody who's displaying who is behaving like a servant leader in any sort of any sort.

10:39

Now, in my opinion, there's a number of problems here with the whole COVID issue. And I think there's some very, very good reasons why people would be hesitant to take the vaccine.

10:51

I mean, we know number one, that the government, you know, through Tony Fauci, funded the development of the of the

10:59

COVID virus, they funded gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. In my opinion,

11:06

I don't have proof to back this up. But I'm simply just, I think based on the entire

11:12

COVID narrative, being a construct being a pandemic, as some people call it, that I think it was released also by government officials at a time of their choosing.

11:27

I think it was probably in part, it was part of the rig of the 2020 election. It was in the reason

11:32

I say that is because it was used as excuse for changing election day into election month, massive mail -in ballots, which created all kinds of room for the

11:42

Democrats to create fraud. Governments locked down healthy people and lied that it was 15 days to slow the spread.

11:49

Never, as far as I am aware, is there ever been a case where you have quarantined healthy people.

11:55

The basic idea behind quarantines is you quarantine the sick.

12:02

You don't quarantine healthy people. You see that all the way back in scripture, when it talks in Leviticus about the laws of dealing with leprosy.

12:13

There was no provision to lock down all of Israel to prevent the spread of leprosy. No, I mean, if there was a law and someone could be quarantined, but that person first had to voluntarily come forward.

12:26

He didn't, it wasn't forcibly test, he voluntarily came forward, showed himself to the priest, he was examined by the priest.

12:31

If he was found to be with leprosy, at that point, yes, he was quarantined until such time as he was better, until such time as he had recovered from the disease.

12:45

But there wasn't any general lockdown of Israel to prevent the spread of leprosy, that didn't occur.

12:52

And this has always been the way that diseases have been handled, or at least that's the standard practice, and that's the practice.

12:58

You don't punish people with quarantines who aren't sick. So, I mean, the fact that the government did do that is,

13:08

I think, quite alarming. And I think that ought to send up red flags and say, and tell you, hey, there's a problem here.

13:16

Something's not right. There's something going on. Maybe there's an ulterior motive, which I think that there is.

13:24

Mask mandates. Mask mandates do nothing to prevent the spread. The virus easily goes through the masks.

13:31

That's admitted, I think, even, I don't think there's a single study out there that shows that masks do any good. And when those people who are actually being honest about it will tell you that, it doesn't help.

13:42

But those mask mandates have helped to bring about what Dr. Robert Malone called mass formation psychosis, which is essentially driving an entire society mad.

13:56

Then you've got the vaccine mandates, not just in the United States, or at least

14:02

Biden is attempting to initiate one here in the United States, but you've got them all over the world.

14:08

Austria is talking about implementing vaccine mandates. So is Italy. So is, you know, I think the

14:14

Great Britain has done that. I know Germany has talked about doing that. There are huge threats of punishments and all this in Australia if you don't get vaccinated.

14:24

Demands to set up vaccine passports. So not only do you have to get vaccinated, but if you want to just engage in normal activities, if you don't have a vaccine and you haven't been vaccinated, you can't buy or sell.

14:36

I mean, that whole thing with COVID, I mean, it sounds to me like these politicians have taken their policy prescriptions straight out of the book of Revelation.

14:45

No one may buy or sell unless he receives the mark of the beast. Well, no one may buy or sell unless he's vaxxed.

14:51

And I would say to politicians, I mean, if you are really thinking seriously and speaking this way, you really need to go back and rethink your ideas because you're, frankly, what you're doing is tyrannical and it is terrifying and people do not trust you.

15:11

You know, there was a great quote, this is Patrick Henry, he says this, he says, guard with jealous attention the public liberty, suspect everyone who approaches that jewel.

15:20

That was Patrick Henry and he was absolutely right about that. And the threats to our liberties, to our lives from these

15:30

COVID nuts ought to set off screaming alarm bells in everybody's head.

15:36

You know, these people are approaching the jewel of liberty and they are trying to take it from you. They're trying to take your liberty and then they want to sell it back to you bit by bit.

15:45

That's what they're looking to do. And these people cannot be, they must not be allowed to get away with this.

15:53

And they have to be rebuked from the word of God for their tyranny. And this nonsense that somehow, unless you go along with them, unless you accept their arbitrary dictates, that somehow you can't buy or sell is absolutely evil.

16:09

It's one of the vilest things that I've ever heard. And the thing is, of course, anyone who speaks out against that narrative is canceled.

16:17

You're removed from social media, you're publicly shamed. For instance, you know, there was a big stink here recently.

16:23

This is the latest example. I mentioned Dr. Robert Malone before. He's someone who is credited, he's got the patents apparently on the mRNA technology that underlies the

16:33

COVID vaccines. And I think it was on the 31st of December.

16:39

So it was just, guess what, about a week ago, roughly a week ago, I guess eight days ago, he went on the

16:45

Joe Rogan show, gave a three hour interview. And I'm going to actually put the link to the interview in the show notes here in case you like it.

16:51

He went on, Joe Rogan is on Spotify. And I was listening today, I think I listened about the first two hours of it so far.

16:58

But it's an interesting interview. But Robert Malone was canceled. He was pulled off of Twitter.

17:05

And he doesn't even know particularly what comment he made that got him kicked off Twitter. Twitter doesn't tell people.

17:11

And this is the kind of thing that is deeply disturbing. And it makes me suspect the people who are pushing this narrative.

17:18

I mean, when you cannot discuss science, when you cannot question scientific results, that's not science anymore.

17:26

That's propaganda. You know, that's dogma. That's like medieval dogma. I think

17:31

Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers said something like that. He said, you know, if you can't question science, it's not science anymore.

17:39

It's what he's called. Yeah, I think he called it propaganda. He says not science. It's not propaganda. It's superstition.

17:45

So the idea that you somehow you can't question science, and if you do, you're going to get flushed down the memory hole.

17:51

You're going to have your accounts pulled, you're going to be canceled, you're going to be shamed, you're going to be unpersoned. I guess that's like what they used to do in the

17:58

Soviet Union, they used to unperson people. That right there, once again, makes me question every single thing these people who are pushing the vaccines are doing.

18:11

I mean, just for a thought experiment, for a moment, I mean, you could say, well, let's suppose for a moment that the vaccines were 100 % perfectly safe.

18:18

They were no more dangerous than, say, getting a shot of, say, saline solution. So it's guaranteed that nothing bad could happen if you got a

18:27

COVID vaccine. I still wouldn't take it, just because they have linked my liberty to my doing this.

18:36

And they have acted in such an underhanded way, in such a guilty way.

18:41

I mean, I have never seen people look more guilty than what Tony Fauci and these other people who are pushing the vaccine mandates look.

18:52

I mean, I think some of it is driven by money, certainly profit -driven. I don't think there's any question about that.

18:59

But I think there's something more to it. I mean, when you start trying to institute these vaccine passports, when you start trying to say, well, you can't have a job if you're not vaccinated, or you can't go to the store if you're not vaccinated, or you can't fly on an airplane if you're not vaccinated, there's a darker agenda at work here.

19:17

Especially when you look at the fact that these vaccines do not do what they say they do.

19:23

The basic rule is, the more vaccines, the more COVID. The more vaccines, the more

19:31

COVID. You know, there was a... it was kind of interesting. I'm going to see if I can find this here. Maybe I can bring this up while I'm talking.

19:36

But there are certain countries that are, oh, I guess you might call them almost test cases for all of the...

19:46

I guess I'm not going to be able to do it because I'm not logged into my account. But there was a chart that I saw the other day.

19:53

And it was of the COVID cases in Israel. And COVID cases in Israel are now at an all -time high.

20:00

And most of the people in Israel have not had one shot, not two shots, not three shots, but actually four shots.

20:07

They've been... they're double -boosted now. And they've got COVID cases soaring through the roof. So again, you know, how effective are these vaccines?

20:15

I don't think they're very effective. They don't seem to be. And on top of that, they're pretty darn dangerous.

20:23

You know, the FDA historically has used the two criteria for drugs are safe and effective.

20:30

Well, when I'm looking at the results of these vaccines, it appears that they are neither one of those.

20:36

And it's surrounded by a lot of mystery, a lot of mandates, and a lot of attacks on basic liberties.

20:46

And this entire thing screams red flags all over the place. And I do not trust the people who are pushing them.

20:55

And as I said, I would not accept a saline solution injection from Anthony Fauci, because I do not trust him.

21:03

He has forfeited the public trust with contradictory statements, with mandates, with, you know, all of the...

21:14

just, I mean, if we followed Anthony Fauci, I mean, it would be, you know, this would be the most depressing, boring country, most oppressed country that you can imagine.

21:25

It would be absolute tyranny. I mean, notice, here's the thing, you know, evangelical Christians used to always get this bad rap that they're out to ruin everybody's fun.

21:32

Oh, you know, you Christians, you just, you know, you want to take away everybody's fun. You know, you're always complaining about, you know, all the immorality of this or that or the other thing.

21:41

Well, let me ask you this, you know, who is pushing lockdowns? Who is pushing fear?

21:48

Who is lying? Who is contradicting themselves? It's not the people that are standing up against these

21:54

COVID mandates. It's not the evangelical Christians who want to go to church.

21:59

You know, people like, say, John MacArthur at Grace Community Church out there in LA, and they never stopped holding church throughout the entire pandemic, and they want a judgment in court against the state,

22:12

I think, and against the city of Los Angeles. It's not to endorse everything that John MacArthur's ever said or done.

22:18

I have my disagreements with him, but he was definitely right about that, and he was definitely right to take the stand that he did.

22:26

It's not evangelical Christians that are pushing COVID tyranny. You know, it's all these people who like to posit themselves as, you know, liberals.

22:33

Oh, you know, we just want everybody to be free and flourish. You know, we don't always stodgy old rules and regulations and blah blah blah.

22:40

Well, I mean, these are the very people that are cracking down on liberty and destroying it. Now, it looks right now like the

22:47

Supreme Court, and I'm going to bring this up here. Yeah, this is a story on CNN.

22:54

It says, Supreme Court appears poised to block Biden's vaccine and testing rules for businesses. Well, that's good because the tyrant

22:59

Biden wants to force everybody who works for a company with 100 or more employees to get the vaccine, and if you don't get the vaccine, you can't work.

23:08

You cannot sell your labor into the market. You cannot earn money to be able to buy things. You can't buy or sell.

23:15

You're completely locked out of mainstream society because you don't want to take this unsafe and ineffective vaccine.

23:23

Hopefully, let's pray that the Supreme Court does do what this headline says they're probably going to do, but here's a thing that concerns me.

23:32

It says, but in a separate challenge, some justices seem more open to a vaccine mandate aimed at certain health care workers.

23:38

Well, I don't think health care workers should be mandated to take vaccines either. They have rights just like everybody else.

23:46

The truth is there's nothing, there's not one statement anywhere in the Constitution that speaks about vaccines or required medical care.

23:56

There's no authority given to the federal government to do these kinds of things. It's a principle of, if it's not given, it's not given.

24:05

That authority does not exist. It's pretend authority, and they are trying to steal Joe Biden and the people that work for him and his regime are trying to steal our liberties and then parcel it back to us.

24:21

And as Christians, we have to rebuke these people. We have to rebuke them from the Word of God using logic, and we can't back down.

24:28

And we have to keep speaking out about this. We have to keep writing. We have to keep doing the things, talking to our neighbors, talking to our friends.

24:36

We can't lay down on this. We have a job to stand up for liberty. So that's shut up and obey number one.

24:44

Now shut up and obey number two is election fraud. There was a, let's see here, got the story here.

24:49

Oh yeah, here it is. This is a, in fact, this is from today, January 8th, 2022. This is an article by Jonathan Turley, who's a pretty well -known public, well, he's a law professor,

25:02

I think, at George Washington University. And he's pretty well known as a public commentator. He shows up on a lot of TV stations and he appears on Fox News.

25:11

He's got his own, this very popular blog that he has. And here's the article that he posted here from today.

25:18

Democratic governor calls for criminalizing lying about election results. Now, one of the things that's interesting is that Jonathan Turley himself is a

25:25

Democrat, but unlike most of his fellow Democrats today, he's actually pretty good.

25:31

He's actually, he's quite good on the issue of free speech. Let's read a little bit of his article here and then we'll comment on it.

25:39

So this is a quote, quote, for years I've lamented how the Democratic Party has embraced censorship and the criminalization of speech.

25:46

I come from a liberal Democratic family in Chicago and the Democratic Party once championed free speech as the defining value of the party.

25:54

Democratic politicians now lead calls for censorship to silence their opponents and corporate regulations to protect citizens from dangerous choices in reading material.

26:02

Insert there, I think he's a little sarcastic about that. So Turley continues here, quote, the same concerns were raised this week after Washington governor

26:09

Jay Inslee called for the criminalization of lies, quote lies, about election results.

26:15

Inslee wants to convict people who raise election challenges or allegations. Such a law would threaten political speech and create a chilling effect for those who want to raise such concerns in contested elections.

26:28

Inslee made his comments as part of the January 6th anniversary. It appears to follow Speaker Nancy Pelosi's directive for Democrats to preserve the narrative of that day.

26:38

According to the Seattle Times, Inslee declared that it should not be legal in the state of Washington for elected officials or candidates for office to willfully lie about these election results.

26:47

He would make such comments a gross misdemeanor subject to incarceration. Okay, so end quote of all that.

26:53

So this Democratic governor wants to toss people in jail for,

27:00

I guess, willfully lying about election results. Of course the problem is, you know, who's going to determine whether they're lying or not?

27:07

That's the real question here. And Turley acknowledges that. Turley continues here, he says, quote, such a criminal law would be right for abuse and would create a chilling effect that would be positively glacial.

27:19

We have seen other Democratic leaders use the criminal process in similarly reckless fashion.

27:25

This country has a long history of election fraud from Tammany Hall in New York to the Daily Machine in Chicago. Raising doubts over such elections often forces greater public scrutiny and marshals resources to contest results.

27:37

Indeed, Democratic lawyers like Mark Elias have challenged Republican victories as he and others denounce such

27:43

GOP challenges as attacks on democracy. End quote. Now I think it's very interesting here, of course, and again,

27:50

Turley is a Democrat, but he strikes me, and I have some my disagreements with him on some things, but I believe he's a fair -minded man, and he is really good on free speech, and he freely admits he talks about this country has a long history of election fraud.

28:06

It's just really interesting, he talks about Tammany Hall in New York and the Daily Machine in Chicago. Now both of those political machines were

28:14

Roman Catholic controlled, and they were famously massively fraudulent.

28:22

If we're to take Inslee's approach to things, nobody would ever be able to see anything about that. You could send your thugs out and steal an election, and you just have to sit there in your hands,

28:34

I guess, and sit there quietly and applaud politely when the winner's announced, and even though there's substantial evidence that he won by fraud.

28:44

So I mean, you've got this Democratic governor out there, you know, he actually wants to make free speech, he wants to criminalize it.

28:52

You know, the First Amendment was not put in the Constitution so we could talk about the weather, or maybe, you know, argue about, you know, who's the best baseball player, or who's going to win the

29:02

Super Bowl or something like that. That's not why it's there. It's put there to protect people to be able to talk about difficult things, about things that are unpopular.

29:13

I mean, this governor wants to attack the First Amendment, and I think that's an absolute outrage.

29:20

You know, again, it's just shut up and obey. This is the way it is, and all you people out there that have questions, silence.

29:25

Just go away, pleb. Go away, peon. You know, send the unwashed hoi polloi back to their homes, and we're just going to do what it is we want to do, and you just have to accept it, and that's just the way it is.

29:36

And we're not even going to argue or discuss it with you. So, I mean, the 2020 presidential election thing, if Insley were to get his way, and I don't think he probably will, but if he does get his way, that's another thing that you're not allowed to talk about.

29:49

It's just a baseless conspiracy theory. Now, in my opinion, and this is an opinion, but in my opinion, there is more than enough reason to question the 2020 presidential election results.

30:02

There are several statistical oddities. I mean, one of them is that Donald Trump won 18 of 19 what they call bellwether counties, and these were counties that every year from 1980 through 2016 always picked the winner of the presidential election.

30:23

So, I mean, that's 1980, 84, 88, 92, 96, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016.

30:34

So, that's what? Did I count that right? Is that 15 presidential election cycles?

30:40

Let's see. Let me do that again. 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, that's 10.

30:52

I'm sorry. So, for 10 straight elections, and in fact, this one county here, this is the

30:58

Wall Street Journal, it says Vigo County in Indiana previously sided with the White House winner in all 16 elections since 1956.

31:05

So, that's even more. This one particular county goes back to the 1950s, but in 2020, these bellwether counties failed except for one to pick the winner of the presidential election.

31:20

So, that's pretty weird. I mean, when Donald Trump wins 18 of 19 bellwether counties and loses the election, that's kind of weird.

31:27

Now, does that in and of itself, is that slam -dunk proof that Joe Biden or that Donald Trump was cheated in the election?

31:34

Well, no. I mean, you can find some other explanations for that, but it's not nothing. It's a data point.

31:40

And let's continue to build our case here. Here's another item. This is a headline here.

31:46

This is from the Quad Cities newspaper, I guess, out in Iowa. It's got a headline that says, Trump not first to win

31:51

Iowa, Florida, and Ohio and lose the election. President, and this is from December 11th, 2020, so about a month after the election, says

31:59

President Donald Trump on Thursday claimed that no presidential candidate ever came close to losing an election who won

32:04

Iowa, Florida, and Ohio. That is wrong. With less than five minutes of research, anyone, even

32:10

Trump, could discover that Richard Nixon won Iowa, Florida, and Ohio in 1960 but lost the election to John F.

32:15

Kennedy. Well, you know what's interesting about that? Now, I know the Quad Cities wants you to think that they just dunked on Donald Trump's head or dunked on the head of any

32:24

Republican out there who thinks that Donald Trump won the election, as I do. They think that they dunked on their head, but it's really not as much of a slam dunk as they think.

32:34

And here's why. They go back to the 1960 election. Well, the 1960 election was famously fraudulent.

32:40

There was a lot of indication that that election was stolen in Chicago and stolen in Texas.

32:47

There was a man, Earl Mazzo, he was a journalist with the New York Herald Tribune.

32:54

I'm going by memory here. I think that's the correct newspaper. But I read a comment. He wrote a series of articles talking about the election theft back in 1960 in the month or two after the election, and he was going to write a 12 -part series, and he was told to cease and desist.

33:09

I guess the order came down on high. But he was finding all kinds of serious election irregularities.

33:15

And of course, he went to Chicago. Now, Chicago was run by the Roman Catholic Daily Machine, which even

33:21

Jonathan Turley admits was famous for being fraudulent. So it's not at all surprising that there were election irregularities in Chicago in the 1960 election.

33:35

It's not at all surprising. And later, and I think Earl Mazzo is deceased now, but I read an interview with him.

33:42

I think it was maybe in the Washington Post. I've got it somewhere. I don't have it handy here. But he made the comment in 2000.

33:50

He was still alive at that time in 2000. He said that they stole it like crazy. They stole it like crazy in Chicago and in Texas.

33:58

Those are his exact words, or I think pretty close to his exact words. So yeah, I mean, you've got this

34:03

Quad Cities going back and saying, well, you know, Richard Nixon won Iowa and Ohio and Florida in 1960 and he lost.

34:11

Well, yeah, he lost because that was a fraudulent election. If anything, I think it maybe strengthens

34:17

Donald Trump's case that he was cheated out of the election. Again, we're talking here about opinion.

34:24

We're talking about strengthening the case. Now, does that absolutely, is that the only possible explanation that you can put on that?

34:29

No, you could come up with other explanations. But what we're trying to do is determine what seems likely. So let's move on to another data point here.

34:37

Fact check, Biden campaign events portrayed as small, lack context of COVID -19 guidelines.

34:42

Okay, so this is one of the things that was really interesting about the 2020 presidential election, is that Joe Biden would have these just pathetic jokes of campaign rallies.

34:54

Now, here's Joe Biden. Let's see if I can blow that up a little bit here, make that a little clearer. Okay, maybe that's a little bit better.

35:01

So you can see here, here's Joe Biden. And you got a few people here. This is about the most pathetic thing I've ever seen.

35:07

They're sitting here socially distanced in these white circles on these, these look like these kind of office chairs.

35:13

And look at this. I mean, I don't know exactly how many people here. I can count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

35:23

Yeah, maybe a dozen people. I don't know. Maybe there's a few more there. But I mean, what an absolute, complete farce this is.

35:30

It's just pathetic. I mean, this is a guy that would go high, they called him Basement Joe, and it's because he would disappear for most of the day.

35:39

And in fact, there's a term that's used apparently, I had not heard it before the last election cycle, but I guess there's a term that candidates use, they talk about putting a lid on it.

35:48

And what putting a lid on it means is they would, when you do that, they would have somebody from the campaign call the press and say, we're putting the lid on the campaign for the day.

35:56

That means we're not going to campaign anymore. You know, we're done for the day, you know, we're going home, get some dinner, get some sleep, whatever.

36:04

Well, Joe Biden was calling a lid on his campaigns very often by nine or 10 o 'clock in the morning.

36:11

In other words, he wasn't doing anything. He was basically confined, quote, to his basement.

36:18

I mean, if not literally his basement, he definitely wasn't in the public eye. So this is a

36:23

Joe Biden campaign rally. So let's take a look at a Trump campaign rally. So here we go. Here's a

36:29

Trump rally. This is from, let's see, this was a Johnstown, Pennsylvania, October 13th, 2020.

36:35

You can see Air Force One here in the background, and it was a great big, well, I guess it's not,

36:41

I was going to say it's a 747, that's not a 747, but it's a great big airplane back there, you know, full -sized airliner.

36:48

And you can see how big the crowd is. I mean, look at this. I don't know for sure, this may have been the one where they had a crowd of 40 ,000 people.

36:58

If it wasn't 40 ,000, let's just say this, it's a big crowd, certainly a whole lot more than the dozen or so people that Joe Biden had show up.

37:06

So, I mean, Joe Biden can't hardly fill even a parking lot of any size, and Donald Trump's packing them in here at these rallies.

37:16

Now, of course, what they would say is, oh, it's a in the way they approached these campaigns, they approached

37:22

COVID. I say nonsense on that. Back in 2016, it was exactly the same thing.

37:28

You know, Hillary Clinton had a hard time filling a high school gym where Donald Trump would get, you know, tens of thousands, literally tens of thousands of people at his rally.

37:35

This is not normal. This whole thing with these huge rallies for Donald Trump, that is not normal. I don't think

37:41

I've ever seen a presidential candidate get the kind of groundswell, really almost spontaneous report.

37:48

And I think it is spontaneous support from people. I've never seen that. Maybe there's other cases of it.

37:54

I can't think of any, though. So there's another data point, crowd size. Let's move on to another one.

38:01

Here's a Gallup poll. This is a Gallup poll that was taken toward the end of 2020. And here's the headline,

38:07

Donald Trump, Michelle Obama, most admired in 2020. So Donald Trump was the most admired man.

38:13

18 % named Donald Trump as the most admired man. Barack Obama placed second at 15%.

38:19

This was the first time, I've got this in a, in fact, it says here, Trump's first place finish ends a 12 -year run as most admired man for Obama, tied with Dwight Eisenhower for the most ever.

38:31

So Barack Obama had a 12 -year run as the most admired man in America. It was ended by Donald Trump in 2020.

38:40

Let's see, what's the date? Okay, yeah, so December 29th, 2020. So this is after the election even.

38:46

And I don't know during what period of time during 2020 they compiled that data. But at the end of the year, you know,

38:52

Gallup, and I mean, Gallup is as mainstream as it gets. Gallup is, I think, the most famous polling, polling company out there.

39:00

But Donald Trump ended Barack Obama's 12 -year run as most admired man. Joe Biden placed,

39:06

I think it was no higher than third, but he had something like 6%. So Donald Trump was the most admired man three times over compared to Joe Biden.

39:19

But supposedly Joe Biden won the election. Again, you know, this is a data point.

39:25

Now we've kind of piled up a few data points, right? So Trump won 18 and 19 bellwether counties.

39:31

Trump won Florida, Ohio, and Iowa, which is almost a sure thing that you're going to win the presidential election.

39:39

Joe Biden's rallies dwarfed those of, Donald Trump's rallies dwarfed those of Joe Biden.

39:46

Trump was the most admired man in America, much more so than Joe Biden was. Now, is it possible that all these data points could be interpreted different ways?

39:55

Yes. None of themselves or even together prove that Trump won the election, but I think taken together, at least in my opinion, this strongly suggests that he did win.

40:07

Oh, and I didn't even mention that apart from the votes that Joe Biden got, supposedly got in 2020, that Donald Trump had the largest vote total of any presidential candidate in history.

40:19

I think that's interesting as well. And that's after, you know, the guy had been beaten on for four years, mercilessly by the press and by the

40:28

DC establishment, and he still got that many votes. So I think all this data, I mean, just taking this,

40:33

I mean, there are other things besides just what I've talked about here, but I think these are some high level things that are easily grasped.

40:40

And I think also they're not disputed. You know, like if you read some of the fact checkers and that, they won't dispute anything that I just told you here, but what they do is they put a different explanation on it.

40:52

I think their explanation is wrong. I think what I have said here is the correct interpretation of this information.

41:00

That is to say that this is all evidence that Donald Trump did in fact win the 2020 election.

41:06

Now, you know, we mentioned earlier, you know, you add on top of that, the fact that the Democrats have a long and sordid history of election fraud.

41:12

You know, think about this is, I forgot about this. Yeah. Yeah. The comment that Joe Biden made, he said, this is a direct quote from Joe Biden.

41:19

He says, we've put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.

41:26

Now, of course, some of the, as you might imagine, the spin that's put on that by the

41:32

Biden supporters is they say, oh no, no, no, no, no, no. He misspoke. He wasn't saying it was a voter fraud organization.

41:38

He misspoke. And he meant to say it was a voter fraud prevention organization or something like that.

41:44

I tend to think he probably told the truth. Because again, it's not, the

41:49

Democrats have a long history of doing this thing. They have a long history of fraud. Even Jonathan Turley, the

41:56

Democrat, even acknowledged this. I mean, this is how these guys roll. You know, the party of rum,

42:02

Romanism, and rebellion. You know, they've been doing this stuff for, you know, since the 19th century.

42:07

This is how these guys roll. So no, it's not at all out of character for them to do this.

42:13

I mean, I think what happened in 2020 was just good old fashion Democrat election thuggery.

42:19

The kind of thing, you know, it was practiced by Tammany Hall or the Daily Machine or the Curling Machine in Boston or any number of other

42:26

Democrat, you know, Roman Catholic dominated Democrat machines, political machines.

42:32

That's just how these guys roll. It's what they do. I mean, there's nothing at all surprising about that.

42:38

It has all the earmarks of it, but you're just supposed to shut up and obey, you know, and if you don't,

42:44

I mean, if you say the things I do, I mean, I don't know. I guess if I were a political candidate, you know, I don't know. Maybe Jay Inslee wants to throw me in jail.

42:51

I don't know. At least, thankfully, I'm not in his jurisdiction. So I don't have to worry about it, at least yet.

42:58

So we'll see here. Anyway, so shut up and obey number three. Of course, this is closely related to shut up and obey number two.

43:05

And shut up and obey example number three is Insurrection Day, supposedly Insurrection Day. Oh, by the way,

43:11

I didn't wish, I was going to wish everybody a happy Insurrection Day, of course, since it was January 6th this past week. And everyone knows, you know, the story about that.

43:20

Of course, there was a mob of unruly Trump supporters descended on the Capitol with the intent of overthrowing the government. We all know about that.

43:27

I mean, that's drummed in our heads every single day. Kamala Harris was out there this past week.

43:33

And this is Business Insider. But here's a headline. It says Kamala Harris compares January 6th to Pearl Harbor and 9 -11 in anniversary speech at the

43:41

Capitol. So a bunch of people up there, some of whom were unruly, not everybody, but some of whom were without any arms.

43:50

I mean, nobody had a gun. There wasn't anything like that. Nobody brought a gun there. But, you know, these people, according to Kamala Harris, I guess they threatened the

44:01

American Republic in the same way as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and the terrorist attacks on 9 -11.

44:09

Now, there's something about that. Well, there's a lot of things about that that are disturbing. I mean, in one way, it's kind of laughable.

44:15

But in one way, it's also, as I said, very disturbing. And what

44:20

I mean by that is what she's implying there. Because, of course, the 9 -11 attack, the

44:28

Pearl Harbor attack, those were attacks on the United States by a foreign power, by foreign governments.

44:35

And it seems to me that she's insinuating somehow that Trump supporters are almost in that same category, as if we were the

44:43

Imperial Japanese Navy or, you know, jihadists.

44:49

And she's not the only one that talks that way. You know, the Biden administration has openly talked about a war on domestic terror.

44:57

And when they talk about this, there are thinly veiled threats against Trump supporters, against the historic

45:04

American nation, against people that you would just talk about as being normal Republicans.

45:11

In particular, it's against white people. I mean, they have a distinct hatred of Christian white people.

45:19

I mean, I just say that openly. I mean, that's what it is. And they make no bones about that.

45:25

They don't even try to pull the punch. They don't even try to hide it at all. Now, here's another example of being lectured by the government.

45:34

I mean, you know, you're just supposed to accept the narrative. You're supposed to shut up and obey. Here's another. This is from Breitbart News.

45:40

Here's a headline. It says, Chicago Cardinal declines lies of election tampering, urges no restrictions on voting.

45:45

So what this guy wants is he doesn't want you to question the election. And I guess he wants all of the insurrectionists thrown in jail forever.

45:55

And he wants anybody and everybody, whether they're legal, illegal, alien, whatever, to be able to vote.

46:03

He doesn't want any restrictions on voting. So if somebody sneaks into the country illegally, they'll vote all the way.

46:08

Vote, of course. Yeah, by all means. Let's read through here. Chicago Cardinal Blaise Kupich urged an end to the lies of voter fraud in the 2020

46:17

U .S. presidential election while urging that no limitations on voting be permitted. Well, we've already gone through some of the evidence that these things aren't lies.

46:27

There's some very good evidence out there that suggests there's something that seriously stinks about the 2020 presidential election.

46:36

I do not believe that result. But he wants to call them lies. And then he goes on to urge that no limitations on voting be permitted.

46:46

This morning, and this is quoting the Cardinal, this morning I re -read the statement I put out last January 6th, when the world watched in horrors a violent mob attacked the

46:55

U .S. Capitol in a coordinated deadly attempt to overturn the legitimate results of a presidential election.

47:00

Cardinal Kupich wrote on Twitter Thursday in reference to his declaration decline to Capitol riots as violence in the service of falsehood.

47:08

Well, there were some people that did get violent. Yeah, I mean, that's true. There was some of that. But there were an awful lot of people up there, and I'm talking about even people that were in the

47:17

Capitol that were not. I mean, there's many pictures up there of people going through the

47:22

Capitol Rotunda, and they've got American flags, and they're walking through the rope lines.

47:29

Well, those aren't people that are exactly bent on wreaking havoc and chaos and insurrecting. I'm sorry, that's a lot of nonsense.

47:37

Yeah, I mean, if there were people up there that did things that were violent, that were destructive of property, these kinds of things, well, then those people need to be punished.

47:44

But there's an awful lot of people, even people who went into the Capitol, that did not go in there with violent intent, and it's very obvious that they did not.

47:51

And then, of course, the way they're being held, essentially, I guess, I don't know, without being charged,

47:57

I think in a lot of cases without bond. These people, there's no speedy trial. They've been there for over a year or around a year in a lot of cases.

48:05

And these people are political prisoners, and they're being used as political prisoners. And it is obscene what is being done to them.

48:13

Now, if they've done something wrong, then they need to be tried, and they need to receive the appropriate punishment.

48:19

But the way they're being treated right now is, I think it's an outrage.

48:25

I mean, it's sort of another Gitmo. It's kind of like an American gulag of sorts. And Cupich continues here, we should all agree that those who instigated and participated in such anti -democratic crime should be held accountable.

48:36

Well, like I say, if somebody did something that was illegal, yeah, they ought to be held accountable. But what's being done with this is an outrage.

48:45

As I said, the fact that there's no speedy trial, the fact that they are being essentially,

48:51

I guess apparently a lot of them are in solitary confinement, maybe all of them are. I mean, there are some real horror stories that have come out that have been reported by some of the members of Congress who've gone there and visited them.

49:04

So let's see here. Oh, and then the Cardinal went on to cite Pope Francis' criticism of populism, asserting that it foments anti -democratic sentiment.

49:10

Well, I think when Pope Francis criticizes populism, what he means is just people who are actually exercising their right to speak and to vote and to engage in government, engage with government.

49:24

Because, of course, the Pope is a tyrant. It's all top -down with him. I mean, all this stuff that he tries to portray himself as a man of the people is a giant fraud.

49:32

I mean, the Roman Catholic Church is a dictatorship. And the last thing in the world that Pope Francis or any other

49:41

Roman Catholic official wants is people getting this uppity idea that somehow that the government is there to serve them.

49:49

Oh, no, no, no. What you need to do is bow before me. You know, that's the message of Rome.

49:55

And that's exactly the wrong message too, by the way. I'm going to close with that here in just a moment. I'm going to talk a little bit about that.

50:02

So that's all with Cardinal Cupich. Let's see if there's anything else here. Oh, yeah, there is one last story here.

50:09

And this is also from Jonathan Turley. I wanted to cover—this is from Jonathan Turley's blog. Here's the headline,

50:15

Preserve the Narrative. The Public Rejects the Insurrection Claim in New Polling. So this is from January 7th.

50:20

This is Friday, January 7th. This is just from yesterday. This is actually some good news here. And this is what

50:25

Jonathan Turley writes. In the day -long events commemorating January 6th, Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a telling statement to her fellow members and the public at large.

50:35

Pelosi declared, quote, It is essential that we preserve the narrative of January 6th, end quote.

50:41

Part of that narrative is that this was not a riot, but an insurrection, an actual rebellion against our country.

50:48

Pelosi's concern over the viability of that narrative is well -based, as shown by a recent CBS News poll.

50:53

The majority of the public does not believe that this was an insurrection, despite the mantra -like repetition of members of Congress and the media.

51:01

The public saw that terrible day unfold a year ago and saw it for what it was, a protest that became a riot.

51:07

Full disclosure, I previously worked as a legal analyst for CBS. So that is

51:13

Jonathan Turley. So, I mean, what he does is he views that as a riot. And I think that that's fair.

51:19

Now, I would add one thing to that. I also strongly suspect, and a lot of people I have read, and I think very credible people, even including people like Ron Paul and Daniel McAdams on the

51:30

Ron Paul Liberty Report, they talked about this, I think, the very next day even, about how it looked very suspicious and the likelihood that there were agents provocateur that were there egging this on.

51:46

And I think that that's very likely. I mean, this is another case where the government is failing to give full disclosure.

51:52

There's all kinds of evidence. I think there's something like 14 ,000 hours of video that they will not release for whatever reason.

52:00

Why is that? What does that video show? I mean, they're always hiding something.

52:06

It's not only they're trying to hide something, they are hiding something. It's known that they are. And it makes me very suspicious of the case here.

52:16

I mean, apparently the charges are being brought against some of the people who are held are things like trespassing or very kind of minor type charges.

52:26

I mean, not the kinds of things that you might expect if this were a full -on insurrection. It wasn't.

52:34

It was something of a riot, and it may very well have been, as I said, egged on by certain people that it would benefit to have a riot.

52:43

But of course, we're not allowed to know anything about that either, just like you're not allowed to know about COVID, or you're not allowed to have information on the election.

52:52

And you're certainly not allowed to question it, because my goodness, if you do, well, then you might be an insurrectionist too. Just to kind of close things out here today, the

53:00

Bible, as it does so many times, speaks to the situation where we find ourselves here these days.

53:07

In describing the type of governments that have existed in most places in most of human history, this is what

53:12

Jesus said. This is quoting Jesus. You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.

53:21

It's Matthew 20, 25. Now, it used to be understood in America and in the West, in other words, countries to which the

53:29

Reformation came, the Protestant Reformation, that the government was the servant of the people, not the master of the people, just like Jesus went on to talk about, as Jesus continues here.

53:40

Yet it shall not be so among you. So he says, the rules of the Gentiles lord it over them. Yet it shall not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.

53:52

And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave, end quote. Now, that's the biblical model for what some people call that servant leadership.

54:03

It's the biblical model for officers in church government. It's also the biblical model for officers in civil government as well.

54:10

That's the biblical model for anyone who is in a position of governmental authority, whether it's in the family, whether that's in the church, whether that is in the civil government.

54:22

And you think of fathers, I mean, fathers are in the position of ruling their homes. But they're not to be tyrants, and there's verses in Scripture that talk about this.

54:33

It talks about fathers not discouraging their children and loving their wives as they love themselves, these sorts of things.

54:40

So, I mean, there's a distinct difference, there's a distinct model, a model of, as I said, sometimes people call it servant leadership, that is outlined in the

54:50

Scriptures. That's very different from what the pagan view of government is. As I said, here in the

54:56

United States, I mean, this was a country that was founded on the principles of the Reformation, on the Scriptures. And we used to understand that, not just in the

55:03

United States, but again, just in the West generally. But as the West has grown less and less Christian and more and more pagan in its thinking, so too has its model for political leadership changed.

55:14

In America, once we had presidents who worked to persuade us, we now have a president who lectures us and tells us, my patience is running thin, and then turns around and walks off and doesn't even take any questions.

55:28

His patience is running thin with those people who are deeply concerned and refuse to take the risk of being maimed or killed with a dangerous

55:35

COVID vaccine. That is far from the model of biblical leadership. It's the exact opposite of it.

55:42

Now, these are dark times we're living in, and as Christians, we need to be in prayer for our nation. And we need to be doing the good work of being salt and light in this difficult period.

55:52

We need to be out there preaching the gospel of justification by faith alone. We need to be out there serving our neighbors, serving our fellow, the people we work with, serving our family.

56:06

We need to be teaching, we need to be rebuking, we need to be correcting from the Word of God. That's our job.

56:12

Those are some of the ways that we can be salt and light. So I want to leave you with that because I know sometimes it can be so very discouraging.

56:19

It seems like things can be overwhelming and there's nothing we can do. Well, there's a great deal we can do. And I just encourage you to be in the

56:27

Word of God and to pray that the Lord would show you ways in which you can apply the lessons of scripture as you go through your day, whatever it is you happen to be doing.

56:38

Well, that's all I have for this week. So thanks very much for tuning in. I really appreciate that. Thanks to everybody who is on the live stream.

56:45

It's great to have everybody here who's listening to the podcast or watching the video. I love getting messages and that from people when they view or questions like that that they have maybe about the podcast.

56:59

So it's always great to keep those coming. Anyway, until next time, may the Spirit of truth guide you in all As you read and study
