You're listening to radio looks lucid. I'm your host Steve Matthews Thanks for joining me for episode 68 the title of this episode is
00:31
Kyle Rittenhouse and his line critics So that does be an interesting subject to talk about but before we get into that, you know
00:39
What I wanted to say just wanted to welcome everybody is To the live stream into the podcast.
00:44
It's great to have you here you know, this is getting into one of my favorite times a year and Especially, you know this week coming up.
00:52
It's going to be Thanksgiving this coming Thursday, and that's that's always been one of my favorite holidays of the year
01:00
I don't think there's any question about it. It's always It's always really enjoyable. It's it's a fun time
01:07
But more than that And really most importantly, it's a very Christian holiday.
01:12
It's a it's a very Christian day I mean it has its origins as as most people know it with the the
01:19
Puritans and in in New England And you know, they were giving thanks to God for his his providential care over them and helping them to get through some very difficult times and It's a it's almost one day where where everybody is is a
01:35
Calvinist One day of the year when everybody's a Calvinist now, of course, there's another benefit to that too
01:42
I suppose and and that is that in recent years. It's Tended to trigger some of the the woke folks and I have to admit
01:51
I kind of do take some guilty pleasure and watching them You know that all the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth when it comes to Thanksgiving, you know
01:59
What a one of the the the big wokesters out there Of course is Colin Kaepernick certainly one of the most famous famous ones the the former
02:07
NFL quarterback And he always does this thing where he and some buddies of his
02:12
I guess they go out to some It's actually out to Alcatraz Island In San Francisco and they celebrate something called on Thanksgiving and I guess they all get together and I don't know
02:23
They talk about how miserable their lives are and how horrible the country is and in all of this kind of thing and I guess you know as far as I'm concerned if Colin Kaepernick and his buddies think that's a great time and think that's a lot of fun and didn't want to go do that You know,
02:38
I say more power to him go for it But you know for me I'd rather actually celebrate
02:43
Thanksgiving and I'm going to and I wish you all in advance a Blessed Thanksgiving.
02:50
I hope you have a great time With your families and have a great dinner but most importantly that you give thanks to God and that you remember the reason for that day and and we have so much to Be thankful for you know in in this country and and even now
03:04
I mean with all of the the horrible things going on all of the the evil policies That are being put forth
03:12
From the from the Biden regime, you know There's still much to be thankful for and God's providence is still with us
03:18
And if you are called by the name of Jesus Christ You have every reason to rejoice even in some of the some of the difficulties and these are difficult times
03:28
You know, the these are difficult times to go through. It's it's hard to watch the news It's it's hard to to watch the things going on.
03:35
It's upsetting to me and You know, I'm someone that has has been interested in politics and political philosophy and and economics my whole life and I see policies being put in place that quite frankly,
03:50
I Think the most likely explanation is is the people that are putting them in place deliberately want to crash the country that seems to be what's going on and we'll talk a little bit about about that perhaps as we go through the
04:07
This this podcast So I don't want to get too far ahead of myself Apparently though to we're also getting officially into the
04:15
Christmas season and I say that because The Christmas lights are starting to burst out all over the place.
04:21
I saw some on my way home I went out bike riding today and I saw some and our neighbor too is is getting ready with the
04:30
Christmas lights and our neighbor next -door neighbor here has One of the bigger light displays that I've seen and This year,
04:39
I think they're going to add something really huge over the summer I was out walking around the block and I looked up and I was a ways off.
04:48
I saw this giant white thing I didn't know what it was and it was in the evening and and it was this big giant white thing was glowing and As I got closer,
04:57
I realized what it was The biggest inflatable I had ever seen, you know, these inflatable figures that people put in their yards for Christmas or other holidays and This particular thing it was the it was this huge Frosty the snowman and and I tell you this literally it was two stories taught two stories tall
05:17
It was the biggest at least in my own experience Inflatable I've ever seen the thing was crazy and I don't know
05:23
I didn't see it out there today At least didn't appear to be in prep So, I don't know I'm gonna keep an eye on this if they put that thing up I'm gonna go get a picture and I'm gonna show you what
05:31
I'm talking about because you're not gonna believe this and this thing is Just ridiculous So anyway, yeah, it's it's always we can we can tell it's it's getting close to Christmas season just by by the
05:45
Christmas lights well, anyway Got a few things.
05:50
I'm going to be talking of course about Kyle Rittenhouse and some of the issues that were going on with his his trial
05:57
Of course as you probably know or you may have heard The jury found him not guilty yesterday
06:03
This is being recorded on Saturday November the 20th. It was on Friday, November 19th 2021 that he was found not guilty on on all five all five counts and You know, there's been a lot of a lot of heads exploding
06:20
And so we're gonna we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna talk about that But before we jump into that I've got a few other stories. There's also one clarification.
06:25
I wanted to offer You know last week I was talking some about the the kovat jabs and I made the point
06:33
I said well You can get one or you cannot get one and in either choice is okay And and what
06:38
I want to clarify is is really what I was talking about And and what
06:43
I wanted to say and I didn't say this very well. I didn't say it very clearly is As Christians, I think it's important that that we show grace to one another in this matter
06:54
And in here's why I bring this up because I have people who I know
07:00
Who are yeah, I have every reason to believe are Christian people and you say you say well, how do you know? They're Christian people.
07:05
Well, I mean they're people that You know, I'm using the Presbyterian standard here for for judging whether someone's a
07:12
Christian and that is they have a credible testimony I mean, these are people who are personally known to me. They are people who are of good character
07:20
I know they believe the gospel or at least they they they could certainly give a very fine account of of the of the gospel of Justification by faith alone and their lives testify it
07:33
Testify of that as well. So I have every reason to believe they're Christians now I for myself in looking at at what the scriptures have to say and in looking at the actions of the people who have promoted the whole kovat narrative and of course that includes all of the lockdowns the mask mandates
07:55
You know the shutting down of supposedly non -essential businesses and Now also the vaccine mandates vaccine passports these types of things
08:06
When I look at this whole kovat narrative, I just see nothing but lies and of course we're told
08:12
Let each man speak the truth to his neighbor. You know, we're told thou shalt not bear false witness and Yet I've seen just nothing but almost non -stop false witness out of the proponents of the kovat narrative including those people who have promoted the vaccines and I think there are major problems with that and There's a
08:31
Christian when I look at those things I think You know, this is all lies this is not a good thing, you know, we know who the father of lies is and it's it's deeply disturbing to see what's going on and the
08:45
You know based upon that based upon the just out -and -out dishonesty that I have seen in the
08:52
The narrative that has been created by public officials by the news media by the many people in the medical community, not all but many
09:03
I Don't want anything to do with the vaccine. You know, I do not trust them.
09:08
You know, they have violated trust they have done it multiple times they have done it egregiously and And Just based on that alone, you know, you know,
09:18
I'm not even digging into the science here But when I see somebody telling obvious lies That is a giant red flag and there are there are other reasons as well why
09:29
I believe as a Christian you should not get this Now that is the the jab the kovat jabs any of them any of them
09:37
One of the things and I had a friend, you know, bring this up to me in In a comment, you know made a point, of course, you know that the the testing process of these vaccines
09:48
The kovat vaccines is done with with fetal cells And that is a big moral problem,
09:55
I mean if you believe as I do that that abortion is murder Yeah, how is it that the that it's okay to to run scientific tests based on?
10:07
fetal cells that were derived from an abortion You know that That presents
10:14
I think a an unsolvable and separable moral problem for Christians So I mean that right there is is an on its face.
10:24
That's another reason not to be involved with this stuff and you know, and I have to say that the way the the the whole medical community from Fauci on down and again
10:36
I know this is not true of all doctors and I don't want to put them all in the same group because there are people of different Different opinions.
10:44
I mean there are doctors There are nurses that have refused to take the the kovat shot for various reasons and in don't agree with the narrative there are our scientists highly qualified scientists people at immunologists and and Such like that that have refused to to take part in this
11:04
So, I mean I I don't want to say this about about Doctors just generally but I think one thing has happened and I do believe that the medical community has seriously damaged its own credibility in this entire attempt to To force what is
11:23
I think very clearly a false kovat narrative On the American people and not just the
11:28
American people but really worldwide I mean you see the same thing going on in Europe. You see the same thing going on in Australia I have a dear brother that I know in in Australia and has been right at the the epicenter of Some of the worst kovat lockdowns in the world.
11:46
It's horrible. What has been done to the people of Australia? I I you know, I I pray for them.
11:52
I pray that the Lord would in particular preserve this brother and his family Because it's it's it's a terrible thing that they're having to undergo.
11:59
I mean things have been Not always so great, you know here where I am But I have to say, you know right now at least as things stand at this moment here in Ohio Things are actually pretty normal And really have been since since June so we've had almost a blessed early
12:18
June so, I mean it's almost been been six months now where things have been really pretty normal and And I pray that that continues
12:26
But of course there are some challenges that that are out there on the on the horizon as well And we'll talk some about that But the whole reason that I brought up I mean kind of getting back to my main issue here and that is talking about Christians and our attitude toward other
12:42
Christians, you know Who maybe don't agree with us because I I think very clearly the Christians ought to reject the the kovat jabs
12:51
But that's not the case with everyone there are as I said, there are Christian people who For various reasons.
12:58
I mean they they have taken them and and and they defend them and I think they are making a mistake in doing so But you know,
13:06
I'm not I'm not gonna make that and I don't think we ought to make that a test of fellowship you know, I'm not going to Say I'm not gonna have anything to do with you because we disagree on this issue
13:17
But I think we can't you know, we can pray for them, you know, we can can talk about it We can continue to educate ourselves.
13:23
We can continue to voice our views, you know those of us who oppose the
13:31
Vaccinations who oppose the the jabs But I think we need to treat one another with grace as well because you know
13:39
This this is a very unusual circumstance that we're all dealing with I mean, there's a lot of fear that's been intentionally whipped up by public officials and There's been a lot of propaganda there's been a lot of Fake news out there and a lot and some people have been deceived, you know, but I I think to myself, you know
13:58
I've been deceived before about things I think probably if we're honest, you know, probably most of us would say we've been deceived about things
14:04
You know one thing I have to say for my own self is you know I really haven't paid all that much attention to the whole vaccine thing until the
14:14
Until the the deal with the With Kovat and all the stuff that's gone over the past year.
14:20
I mean, I know that there have been people who have talked about this You know for myself it just it hasn't really been a main focus of Of any of my reading or research, but you know, maybe it should be because quite frankly the the stance of the medical community on on this particular issue is
14:42
Deeply concerning, you know, maybe I've been deceived or at least at the very least maybe
14:48
I haven't paid close enough attention to something that that I should have and You know, that's something that Lord willing.
14:54
I hope I plan on paying closer attention to to going forward So, I mean we can all be fooled or we can all just get busy with other things or we can all you know
15:04
Have her, you know, there's an awful lot of stuff going on. There's an awful lot of problems in the world and Yeah, it's it's it's easy to focus, you know, maybe
15:12
Not focus on some of the things that we ought to for one reason or another so what I just really want to say is
15:18
I think as Christians we need to show grace to other Christians if They disagree with us on this particular issue
15:24
So that's really all I have to say as far as as that particular thing goes
15:31
I Didn't want to talk a little bit since we're talking about about the whole Kovat thing I wanted to talk about a couple of interesting developments this past week there was a
15:42
Let's You know, what I didn't do is I didn't get my Didn't get my stuff ready here.
15:50
Usually I have my Get all my links and things like that ready. So let's do this
16:02
Yeah, let's see here bear with me just a moment I apologize for not being prepared as I ought to All right, there we go
16:09
Yeah, they're one of the big stories this past week and this is I Pulled this one from the
16:15
Hill, but you can find this in any number of newspapers This is from Thursday the 17th, but headline is
16:21
OSHA occupational safety and health administration OSHA suspends enforcement of kovat 19 vaccine mandate for businesses.
16:29
So this is something that's a particular interest to me as You may well know if you at least if you live in the
16:38
United States if you look I think it was about a couple Months ago, you know Joe Joe Biden got up there and he umptiously lectured everyone said we're losing patients
16:45
You know, we're gonna have a mandate and everybody who works for an employer with 100 or more employees Well, they're gonna have all those employees are gonna have to get vaccinated or they're gonna level all kinds of horrible fines on the businesses
16:56
And you know that that are the sort of dollar amounts that would probably bankrupt most businesses you know, obviously that's the intention and This of course is something it hits home with me because you know,
17:12
I work for business has more than 100 employees and So this is a very serious issue,
17:19
I mean it was originally supposed to take effect on January the 4th, but now
17:24
OSHA has pushed that back. They suspended the enforcement of the kovat 19 vaccine mandate for businesses
17:32
And just read a little bit of this here says the Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA is suspending enforcement of the
17:38
Biden administration's Kovat 19 vaccine mandate for the large private businesses after a federal appeals court upheld a stay on it last week
17:46
OSHA said in a statement published on its website Friday night that while it is confident in its power to protect workers amid the pandemic
17:52
It's suspending activities related to the mandate citing pending litigation So it appears that We've got a little bit of a reprieve if you read through the story here
18:03
It says earlier this month the administration set January 4th as a deadline for qualifying private employers to start mandating the vaccine or require
18:11
Weekly testing the rule was developed by OSHA Okay, so, you know, this is something that Puts millions of Americans directly in the crosshairs.
18:23
I know of several people personally known to me Who are facing this problem and people who believe?
18:31
Along the same lines that I do. They don't want to be vaccinated. They have Signet they have significant objections to the vaccines
18:40
Really? They're not technically even vaccines. I mean call them jabs call them shots, whatever I guess we probably shouldn't even be calling them vaccines.
18:47
Although I guess that's the The common term for them, but they're really not it's it's experimental gene therapy is what it is
18:55
But the You know, this has put millions of people in the crosshairs and it I mean this is this isn't a done deal yet I mean the
19:02
Biden administration Biden regime They're gonna challenge this stuff in court and it's probably gonna end up going in the
19:07
Supreme Court And I don't know how this is going to go and you know, it's the kind of thing that has been very upsetting to me at times and I'm sure it is to a lot of other people because I mean quite literally
19:17
I Don't know if I'm going to have a job I'm gonna continue to have a job That may or may not be the case, but at least it looks like I'll have a job through at least past January the 4th and You know who knows when when the when or if another date may be set
19:37
It's certainly my prayer that that doesn't occur So that's one thing that's going on.
19:44
That's a bit of good news. I we're certainly happy We you know that the the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Ruled against the
19:53
Ruled against the vaccine mandate and called it fatally flawed in order to OSHA not to enforce the requirement
19:59
Pending adequate judicial review of a motion for a permanent injunction so we can continue to pray as Christians that that happens
20:07
There's no question about I think that this is a disastrous rule I think it is unchristian I think it's unconstitutional in the judge the judge that wrote the opinion the
20:17
Fifth Circuit Court agrees that it is unconstitutional So we'll keep a close eye on that particular story
20:24
And again continue to pray For for people who are going to be affected by this, you know, there's a good chance.
20:29
You probably know some Because it's a very broad net Another report
20:37
I had this is a bit of COVID good news, and I I don't know I'm not sure about this story here.
20:44
It's being reported by some people and I hope it's true But I think it's at least something that's worth worth talking about here is
20:52
Here's a particular headlines from the activist post the headline reads this Austrian police army reportedly refusing to enforce health dictatorship or march and protest against it and Let's see.
21:05
I have a member of my German here. Neve Neve eater fascismus. I think that's Basically roughly translated no more fascism or a no fat no fascism again
21:15
Something like that so, you know in this is being held up it appears to be that it's being held up by a banner being supported by They appear to be policemen
21:25
So, you know if that's the case that's actually very encouraging because Austria has done some really horrible things here
21:34
Over the past week they first of all, I guess it was about a week ago. They instituted a lockdown
21:41
For unvaccinated people only so if you're vaccinated you're all you know, you you were cool you could go about your business
21:47
But if you're unvaccinated basically you're under house arrest I think you're only allowed to go out for certain particular certain reasons and It was it really was
21:56
I mean it was it was an Orwellian type of an order and then they came around a few days Later, they said well, you know what?
22:01
We're gonna lock everybody down And I guess that's because lockdowns have worked so well I mean, they've just done such a great job of containing kovat that we keep having wave after wave after wave of kovat supposedly
22:15
Then these things haven't worked, you know as Alex Berenson who I think's done some really outstanding reporting on that says
22:21
You know a virus gonna virus, you know in all of these These measures that have done by government have done nothing to relieve it including the jabs
22:31
You know, in fact one of the things that's Pretty fascinating is the fact that the nation's
22:38
That have been most vaccinated are the ones we have the most kovat You know
22:43
Israel is is one of the major cases in point Great Britain is another Gibraltar, you know the
22:49
I guess I don't know if because that British is a colony I guess I don't know, you know the the rock of Gibraltar the apparently 100 % of the population of Gibraltar has been
22:59
Vaccinated and all the people that come from Spain to work on Gibraltar have also been vaccinated and they've got cases shooting through the roof
23:08
You know, and then of course you have to ask yourself the question is the is the jab actually taking
23:14
Causing this and I think it could very well be But I mean this has been this has been a consistent issue with the
23:26
With the numbers regarding kovat the more vaxes the more kovat so The you know and what's going on there in Australia is is a or Austria?
23:39
Excuse me as there appears to be some pushback not just from the people But even also from if this report is true
23:45
From the police and also the army and if that's the case that's going to spell very serious problems for the
23:53
For the government there and and for their their ability to to continue to imprison people in their own homes
24:00
So let's hope that is true be interesting to watch and see what additional reports may come out here.
24:08
I Did get a question from From Stu here. He's asking he says what's that mug?
24:14
Yeah, I think he's talking about this mug here. This is actually a very cool mug It's when
24:20
I picked up about a year ago. I was last summer in 2020. I went to The visit
24:28
Fort Necessity in southwestern, Pennsylvania and the Fort Necessity it was a fort that was built as part of the
24:38
Battle of Great Meadows which was the opening battle of the French Indian War and it's there's an interesting family connection there to that the the
24:48
It was a it was a battle between it was British forces and they were fighting a combined
24:54
French French Indian force They were badly outnumbered. There was about about 400 British troops or so and I think around 800 or so French and Indians who were fighting and in command of the the
25:08
British forces there and it wasn't just the British there was also a a group of Virginia militia that had come up to help out and So there was a the the
25:18
British regular troops and then they were the Virginia militia and in command of this this group was a
25:24
Rookie right behind the ears kid kid of a colonel by the name of George Washington. It was his very first command and Part of that that particular group that the the
25:39
Virginians who came up there were a couple of brothers there's William and Henry Bailey and and Long story short
25:49
William Bailey is my I think we he would be my seven times great -grandfather
25:57
He was killed in that battle. And in fact when you go there, there's a visitor center there. There's a plaque of the
26:03
The men who were who died defending Fort necessity and his name is on there
26:09
William Bailey, but he was survived by the he was survived by a son
26:14
He had at least one son Josephus Bailey and it's kind of interesting about 20 years later
26:20
Josephus Bailey also fought under George Washington, although this time it was General George, Washington of the
26:26
Continental Army during the American Revolution and Josephus also died. I don't think he was probably in battle.
26:33
He died. He was in February of 1777 we have the the records of that and There probably wasn't on the army probably wasn't on campaign affair, but it's probably a good chance.
26:44
He may have died from You know, who knows probably some disease or maybe exposure to cold or some combination thereof
26:52
I'm just speculating but I would think that's probably more likely than than being killed and in a battle
26:58
Given it was it was in February But he was survived by a daughter by the name of Marianne Bailey and Marianne Bailey married
27:09
John Matthews and so John Marianne Matthews those are my five times great -grandparents and So anyway, they kind of traced a family history back to the the
27:19
Battle of Great Meadows And so Stu that's that's what that mug is. So it's actually it's it's really
27:26
It's interesting to see somehow sometimes when your your family history sort of intersects with With maybe something a little bigger in terms of the the history of the country
27:37
So, so anyway, I bought that and it's a it's actually a really nice mug. Yeah, it's big and I like that And right now
27:45
I have some some heated apple cider some stuff that I'm making in the the Keurig Keurig machines
27:52
It's really good, too. And it's I always make I always make a cup of this when I go and do a podcast
27:57
It's my favorite So anyway, that's what that mug is.
28:05
So let's see. What was I gonna talk about next? Oh, yeah I was gonna talk a little about Antichrist and immigration.
28:12
There was an interesting piece this last week and it was written by Get that up here.
28:19
It's called church militants not church milquetoast. It was written by Michelle Malkin. Now. She's a pretty well -known conservative columnist and The thing that's interesting about her.
28:31
What is or at least one thing is is that she's a she's a Roman Catholic But she's also been a very sharp critic of the
28:39
Roman Catholic Church and in particular they're The way they push for mass mass migration mass immigration mass illegal illegal immigration
28:53
And it just goes to show you I mean they you know You can have people who are Roman Catholics and actually do understand just how corrupt at least in certain respects the
29:02
Roman Catholic Church can be And I'll just read a little bit of this here She says
29:08
I believe the same is true for the Catholic Church's deplorable racketeering for mass uncontrolled immigration and shilling for big farmers toxic and sinful enterprise
29:16
Since 1986 when open borders lobbyists were hammering out the disastrous Reagan amnesty on Capitol Hill Catholic leaders in the
29:23
US and abroad have moved from fighting against legislation That enhances American immigration enforcement to actively undermining enforcement and violating immigration laws
29:34
Disgraceful leftist Cardinal Roger Mahoney Censured and banned for his role in covering up sexual abuse was booted from his post in Los Angeles Yet continues to this day to advocate the
29:44
Catholic clergy and other Americans Brazenly defied deportation orders and harbor so -called dreamers in the name of charity and compassion
29:51
These polities of rich cartels traffickers traffickers smugglers coyotes in the vast network of left -wing nonprofits while inducing the port of trapes across the desert
30:01
Stuff themselves in the cars in car trunks and cash in on their own children is there any more obscene illustration of the need to drain the
30:11
Catholic deep state and defund the creep state and She goes on and talks about some sites and other bishops specifically for some of the the things they do
30:24
I'll go ahead and I'm gonna put a link to this this on the website So I do appreciate the fact that she's actually very upfront and very sharp in her criticism very pointed in her criticisms of the
30:36
Roman Catholic Church of the Roman Church State and the the way it undermines
30:43
Our country the United States of America. I mean, this is something that That it does and and it does regularly and and and it's what's what's amazing to me
30:56
Is how How few people actually point that out and so that's one of the reasons why
31:01
I wanted to highlight Michelle Malkin's comments now Michelle Malkin is still a Roman Catholic, you know, and so she doesn't come out and I don't think she doesn't realize what
31:10
Rome is You know, she doesn't realize that that that you're dealing with Antichrist, you know, the
31:17
Roman Catholic Church that is Satan's masterpiece and it's to be expected that they would be hostile to To things that are right and true and just yes,
31:27
I would expect them to do that And of course one of the things they try to do is continually try to undermine
31:32
Sovereign nations, you know the sovereignty of the United States of America and other nations and one of the ways they do this
31:39
One of the biggest one of the the biggest weapons in their arsenal is mass migration and they constantly promote this
31:49
But you know, I mean I I don't want to sit here and be you know on the one hand Michelle Malkin's critique of the
31:57
Roman Catholic Church doesn't go far enough But on the other hand I do appreciate it and you know, the the
32:02
Lord can use things like that You know, the Lord can use those types of things to to bring people out of Rome You know, there are
32:14
Let's see Stop to that here. There we go. You know, there's a fellow that I follow.
32:20
His name's Greg Hunter I followed his work for years. He's a well, I was gonna say he was a YouTube. He's actually a former YouTube He got booted off of YouTube.
32:27
He's got his own own website. Now. It's called USA watchdog and He was a was a
32:34
Roman Catholic and I've heard him talk about Being a Roman Catholic But he's not anymore
32:41
I don't know what kind of a church he goes to but but he's is some I think probably sort of broadly evangelical type of a church
32:49
But he left Rome and I never knew why until fairly recently I don't know within the last six months or so he was talking on one of his videos about why he left
32:57
Rome and it had to do with Rome's treatment of All of the the pedophilia all the child abuse and not just the child abuse itself
33:06
But I guess the fact that that they didn't address it when it when it became apparent that that was an issue you know, they covered it up and and he left and in that that was one of the things that The drove him out of Rome, I mean the
33:18
Lord uses things like that, you know, whether it's it's the egregious pedophilia that goes on or the the oppressive
33:28
Politics and economics that Rome advocates, you know I was having a conversation one time with a
33:33
Roman Catholic friend of mine and I was telling him how Rome attacks private property And we
33:40
I talked to him about he says well, I don't believe those things, you know, and I'm sure he doesn't you know
33:45
There are a lot of Roman Catholics that are very Americanized and and when I say Americanized what I really am saying
33:51
I suppose is there are a lot more Protestants and they're thinking probably than what they realize, you know, because they see
33:58
Limited government they see capitalism work. They see these things and they realize you know, yeah, these are good things
34:04
But what they don't understand in many cases is that their own church is fighting against those things
34:11
You know, it's it's not just a matter of going out and saying well, you know We have all these corrupt priests and bishops and nuns and Cardinals and and Popes and all these other people who keep you know
34:21
Promoting all this mass migration and what we need to do is we need to replace them all and bring in, you know Get rid of all the corrupt priests and bishops and monsignors and nuns and monks and and all these other people get rid of all
34:33
Them and bring in bring in, you know, honest people that that will do do honest work. Well, no,
34:38
I mean that that's You you cannot reform the Roman Catholic Church. It's irreformable.
34:44
It is Incorrigible that is it cannot be corrected, you know, Martin Luther and some of the early reformers, you know
34:51
They set out not to create a a new church. They wanted to reform the Roman Catholic Church and they realize they couldn't do it
34:58
There is a guy He was on and off sparring partner of Martin Luther a very prominent scholar
35:05
In in Luther's a very brilliant fellow his name was Desiderius Erasmus he was
35:11
Dutch and Erasmus like I said, he was a was a brilliant guy One thing that he did, you know, and if you you are someone who loves the the received text
35:23
You know loves the the King James Bible he he helped actually bring that about believe it or not because he was the one who
35:33
Published the first edition of the received text the received text that's what's sometimes that is the name that's given to the
35:42
Greek text that underlies the The King James translation of the
35:49
New Testament and This now is not the time to get into this there. There is an interview that I did with a gentleman by the name of Dr.
35:57
Wilbur Pickering back in June. He is an expert on the Greek New Testament It's on the
36:02
Trinity Foundation YouTube channel. If you'd like go check that out because he talks about some of the issues with the
36:09
Greek text in the New Testament and how it's been corrupted by Unbelieving modern scholarship.
36:16
Well, I'll just put that aside. But Erasmus. Yeah, he helped put together a at least the first edition of a sound
36:23
Greek text So some of his work survives today in the in in the
36:29
King James translation but but the reason I bring up Erasmus is because he had that same problem that you see show up maybe in in in Michelle Malkin and in some other people and that Is they had this idea in what they do is they look at Rome and say yeah, you know
36:46
Rome is is corrupt and And there are serious problems.
36:52
There are serious moral problems What we need to do is we need to get out get rid of all the corrupt people and we need to bring in People who are are righteous and restore, you know righteousness to the church and and this type of thing
37:04
But what they don't understand is is that the whole system is corrupt and you can't fix it.
37:10
What you have to do is to leave you know and and if You know and this is something you know
37:17
And when I talk about Rome when I when I when I discuss Roman Catholicism I don't say these things because oh,
37:23
I I hate Roman Catholics and I want to see terrible things happen to them. No far from it I want them to know the gospel of justification by faith alone
37:30
If you don't you don't need all of that all those accoutrements of the Roman Catholic Church, you know whether it's it's masses and indulgences and and purgatory and Confession and all of this stuff, you know,
37:46
Jesus said it is finished he fully paid for the sins of his people on the cross and his resurrection shows that God accepted that sacrifice and We put our faith in him
37:57
The righteousness that he earned that Jesus earned by fully keeping the law. He never sinned that righteousness that he earned
38:06
God attributes to us. He credits it. He reckons it to us. He imputes it to us You know, those are some different terms that people use
38:15
You know, he became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him You know wrote the Apostle Paul, you know, and it's it's through faith in Christ alone
38:24
Through belief in the gospel the good news of what Christ did to save his people
38:30
That is how we're saved and that's how anybody has is saved. You know, there's no no no alternate, that's the only way and You know, and that's what
38:42
I want Roman Catholics to know as one of the reasons why I always loved Berean Beacon Ministries and and loved the the work of Richard Bennett, of course
38:53
He was a a longtime Roman Catholic priest over 20 years and he left Rome and he spent goodness the last 30 plus years of his life
39:02
Evangelizing he had a real heart for the Roman Catholic people. He wanted to see them come to faith in Christ He didn't stand up and say oh look at all you you terrible people and look how righteous
39:11
I am because I have faith in Christ and you know, you're still you know, you know bowing before a Cracker on the altar or something like this.
39:19
No, he didn't say that I mean he he loved the Roman Catholic people he wanted to see them come to know the truth they come to saving faith in Christ Jesus and You know, perhaps the
39:29
Lord will use some things like all of this this obvious corruption and lies and deceit that goes on with Rome and maybe he'll use that to to Draw, Michelle Malkin out of that church.
39:42
Yeah, who knows? Yeah, we can certainly pray for and And That the Lord would show her the way and and he certainly can many many people come out of the
39:50
Roman Catholic Church I've known I couldn't begin to tell you all the people I know who know that known who have left
39:57
Rome And been saved and there's some of the finest Christian people that I know Yeah, and so it does happen
40:05
You know, our God is a gracious God and he can save he can save anyone if he so chooses
40:12
He's sovereign in that So anyway, that was one one article that I had on that there's a another article this is actually kind of interesting the the remarks that Michelle Malkin made were actually
40:27
The result of let me go ahead and get this back do another screen share here
40:34
Let's see, here we go. Yes. Okay. So this is a screenshot from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops website
40:41
The remarks that Michelle Malkin made were actually made. I believe she was in Baltimore I think is the way that that particular article
40:49
I read I think it did have a little blurb and they're saying that she made those remarks in Baltimore at That that's where the
40:56
US Conference of Catholic Bishops. They had their big annual meeting I guess they call it the the fall
41:03
General Assembly in Baltimore is what they called it and They held they hold elections and they they
41:09
I guess different people get assigned to different Different committees and such like one that jumped out to me here is this gentleman named
41:20
Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso and he was elected Chairman of the
41:26
Committee on Migration. So the Committee on Migration, you know, that's one of the committees of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops That's one of the committees that pushes
41:34
Pushes for mass Basically mass illegal immigration in the United States of America.
41:39
They do everything possible to make that happen Now if you know a little bit about then
41:46
I'll about El Paso El Paso is right on the US -Mexico border
41:53
On the other it's right there on the Rio Grande on the other side just south of the Rio Grande from El Paso is
42:00
Juarez Which is a pretty large city I went down and had the opportunity to visit some friends in El Paso a few years ago
42:07
I'd never been to that part of the country before it was really a Wonderful experience to go down and to see them and I had an opportunity to go over and see some of Juarez, too
42:17
But it's a big city. I understand. It's about two million people and So that that between Juarez and El Paso, it's a substantial
42:28
Population area But this Mark Sites he was a guy who
42:38
I Did I I can't remember now I think it was something there yeah, it was it was a blog piece that I put up a few weeks ago because they had in El Paso the
42:51
I guess a lot of the bishops of some number of the diocese in that area They were getting together and they were gonna have this big
42:59
Mass for all the people who had died on the border, you know, and and of course, you know who you know
43:05
Whose fault was that? Well, I guess it was big bad Donald Trump's but you know They're even blamed
43:10
Joe Biden because I guess Joe Biden wasn't destroying the United States fast enough for their taste And of course the
43:17
American people it's it's their fault too because they're very bad people when really what it is in and Michelle Malkin pointed this out in her piece is that they encourage these people to do this stuff
43:29
The they encourage people to violate American immigration law knowing full Well in Mark Sites is one of the people who does this knowing full
43:37
Well that these people that some of them are gonna die in the desert Where some of them are gonna die trying to go through what's it called the
43:44
Darien gap down there in in Central America? Which is a really wild area and people coming up from I think
43:51
South America that have to go through this I think it's in Panama or somewhere around there and it's a very remote area.
43:57
There's no roads There's no nothing there at all except for jungle many many people die there and these people die
44:04
Because they're being encouraged by people like Mark Sites And Joe Biden a
44:10
Roman Catholic president And I call him Jesuit Joe sometimes not because he's a Jesuit But he seems to be under the thrall of the
44:17
Jesuits whether it's his his church where he goes He goes to a Jesuit run church or whether it's the
44:22
Pope Who I guess really kind of patted him on the head and told him he's a good Catholic boy when when he was over there and in Rome a few weeks ago but This Mark Sites.
44:33
This is a piece that he wrote a couple months back here and it's Bishop Sites a statement on the mistreatment of Haitian Haitian asylees and he goes on here and He whines about how the the
44:45
Border Patrol was was whipping people Yeah, and and doing horrible things to them you may recall that, you know when all those
44:54
Haitians were crashing the border back in in September that there they sent in the
45:02
No, I guess it was a mounted patrol Of the Border Patrol to keep people from from coming into the country and there are all these reports
45:10
Oh, they were down there they were they were whipping that the Haitians and and even the the photographer that took this photo that Supposedly showed the the
45:18
Border Patrol whipping Haitians. He said they weren't doing that The the the photographer himself denied it but this this
45:26
Bishop Sites, of course he seizes on this in his his particular piece and You know, he uses this to denigrate to slander
45:33
The Border Patrol who were doing their job the proper job of enforcing
45:39
American immigration law But he wants to slander them So this guy now he's he's the head of the the
45:48
Migration Committee of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops So I'm gonna keep an eye on that and see what other kinds of pronouncements he comes with comes up with I don't know how long the term is.
45:59
Maybe it's just for a year I don't know, but I'm certain I'm sure there be be news coming from From Bishop Sites here over at least over the next year.
46:10
So as I said, I'll keep an eye on that and I will Report back when when something when as things develop, let's put it that way
46:20
Okay, so enough of that and what I wanted to do At this point may be coming to my main topic here.
46:28
I wanted to talk some about Kyle Rittenhouse I really haven't written or talked about Kyle Rittenhouse probably should have
46:35
More than what I have it's just as seems like there's been so many other things going on I haven't gotten around to commenting on it a whole lot
46:43
But of course if you're not familiar with that case, you know, that was the case where last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin They had one of these great big riots.
46:51
It wasn't a mostly peaceful protest. It was a flat -out riot there was an enormous amount of damage done to Kenosha and if buildings being set on fire this kind of thing and Kyle Rittenhouse went to Kenosha and he
47:09
In his time there he was he was 17 years old and he shot three men killed two of them and There's a great uproar and I remember when
47:18
I heard about that at first I really wasn't sure what was going on. I thought it was was was kind of an odd thing and I remember looking and And in the minute he shot they were they were the rioters
47:30
I think they were I think they were Antifa I don't think they were black lives matter. I think they're all Antifa guys
47:37
Antifa is a very satanic group. Well black lives matters a satanic group as well. Antifa is very satanic
47:42
I mean you can tell that just when you you see the kinds of activities they do they burn and destroy and they do it under the cover of darkness
47:51
And they're remarkably evil people and they have been basically given the run of the country certainly in 2020
48:00
You know, nothing has very little has been done to them I guess maybe some of them have been busted for some things
48:06
But for the most part they've been able to do what they do and there's been very little in the way of legal consequence for their they're very obviously
48:17
Dangerous and destructive activities and so well,
48:23
I remember when this all took place and of course it was in late August of 2020 I wasn't sure what to think of it and I I sat down I found a video and it was a video
48:36
What a way it had been put together by one of the major news outlets I think it may have even been the New York Times for all
48:42
I know but it was a it was a video it was an analysis of the
48:48
The video the phone camera footage that had been taken up there It was really quite good
48:54
And the thing that I was amazed at is I looked at that particular video and in a few others that I saw
49:00
Was it this guy? Not only was was he not guilty of Murdering people but he was he was actually downright righteous in his behavior.
49:11
I was stunned by The the poise that he showed and His really
49:19
I think he made a very honest attempt to avoid conflict But when he was cornered he fought back and he fought back
49:27
With courage and a cool head for somebody with with Someone who we would expect to be much older than what he was.
49:34
He was only 17 at the time And I was I was amazed at I mean there was there was there a film of him
49:42
He was scrubbing graffiti off. I think it was a school you know, he went to Kenosha to help people to guard businesses to To prevent evildoing the kinds of evildoing that the official should have been doing
49:58
You know the mayor of Kenosha the governor of Wisconsin the kinds of things these men were charged to do
50:05
I mean that they are charged by the US Constitution by God himself To punish those who practice evil and then not only were they not punishing those who practice evil.
50:15
They were encouraged them encouraging them If if not necessarily directly indirectly by just standing down by having their police stand down you know,
50:25
I mean if anybody is is guilty of Of anything it's it's these public officials who refuse to do their job
50:40
And it's been really fascinating here over the last day to day or so to see the the reaction of Of the liberal news media, well, not just the liberals but also just the news media generally
50:54
Here's a quote. This is this is one is actually from from Alex Berenson now
51:00
Alex Berenson is a fellow you you may have if you've seen some of my my blog writing in that He's one of my major sources on kovat
51:07
I think he's done some of the absolute best reporting on on the the big Kovat scam
51:12
Demick and if you want to go follow somebody follow somebody's work follow
51:18
Alex Berenson Substack account and sometimes he can use some language. It's a little
51:24
Not g -rated, let's say that but generally he doesn't and and some of the information he presents is well the information he presents generally is really quite good and it's really devastating to To all the the lockdown fascist, you know people like Anthony Fauci and whatnot
51:41
So yeah, definitely if you're not familiar with Alex Berenson's work I would encourage you to check out his his substack account
51:51
He's even been on Tucker Carlson's you've ever watched Tucker Carlson You may have seen
51:56
Alex Berenson on there But here's what he here was was Alex Berenson's take and he said this in case you hadn't heard
52:03
I think this is important as yet more evidence that much of the media simply cannot be trusted to offer honest reporting on any
52:10
Politically volatile story including everything kovat related kovat lab leaks kovat lockdowns and of course kovat vaccines
52:18
So he's talking here About about the
52:24
Kyle Rittenhouse verdict and you know If you have followed any of this on the news over the past year, you know,
52:31
Oh Kyle Rittenhouse He's a white supremacist. Oh Kyle Rittenhouse, you know, he crossed state lines Yeah, oh he had an illegal gun, you know, he's a notorious state line cross is if somehow
52:44
I'm not sure how that's supposed to be a Bad thing. Yes, the
52:49
United States of America. You're allowed to cross state lines. You really are But anyway, there's some people that get very worked up about that but yeah, they're there the the news media has portrayed
53:00
Kyle Rittenhouse as this horrible person and When you look at as I said what he did and I saw this a year ago.
53:08
I was absolutely stunned By by the poise that he showed in in really by the civic righteousness that he showed.
53:19
I Mean his his maturity was way beyond his years It was very impressive the what what he did he went to Kenosha to do good
53:29
He didn't go there to burn and destroy You know a lot of what about all these, you know, all these Antifa BLM types
53:35
You know, most of those people are at it from out of town. I believe they cross state lines Nobody seems terribly worried about that.
53:41
I guess it's okay if you cross state lines if you dare to burn and destroy But if you're there to protect lives and property
53:47
Well somehow then all sudden crossing state lines is a really bad thing and you're getting a lot of trouble I mean at least if you're
53:54
I guess I'm an MSNBC reporter. You think that's bad Here's another take on on Kyle Rittenhouse, this is an interesting one
54:08
This came from Bill Ackman. Now that may be a name you're not familiar with unless you follow investing closely Bill Ackman is a hedge fund
54:17
Guy that runs a hedge fund. He's a billionaire very well known in the the financial area And I'm not gonna read through all of this but just you can even look at the headline here
54:26
It says Bill Ackman Kyle Rittenhouse is telling the truth and acted in self -defense in a viral Twitter thread now
54:32
This is not the sort of thing Bill Ackman would normally comment on So that's certainly got people's attention and Let's see if I can find this here because this is really
54:45
I thought very interesting what he said Okay, yeah here here we go, so this is a tweet that he put out on November 11th
54:58
I'm just gonna quote this here quote. This is Bill Ackman He says our first -hand impressions of Kyle were materially different from those
55:04
We had previously formed based on media reports and opinion pieces. We had consumed
55:10
I've always been frustrated to read an inaccurate press report about a subject I know well yet somehow
55:15
I continue to believe other articles in the same newspaper about subjects. I know less Media and political bias are dividing our country and destroying lives
55:23
Well, we have not heard the entire trial based on our assessment Kyle of Kyle on the stand
55:29
We believe that he will be found innocent and of course Bill Ackman was right Kyle Rittenhouse was found innocent and You know, he even comments additionally here.
55:43
He says last night Neary and I watched several hours of Kyle Rittenhouse direct testimony and cross -examination We came away believing that Kyle's telling the truth and he acted in self -defense
55:52
We found him to be a civic -minded patriot with a history of helping Just zap myself here
55:59
With a history of helping his community as an EMT and fireman in training in his removing hate graffiti earlier that day from a local school and Ultimately in volunteering to protect a business during the night of the of August 25th in Kenosha And again, this is from Bill Ackman and I don't know what
56:20
Bill Ackman's political background is But you know, this is a man that again, you know, he's not somebody that's given to comment on these sorts of things but he gave a very frank and very honest and I think very very accurate assessment of the situation and You know better be apparently, you know
56:40
He had this idea about One idea about Kyle Rittenhouse just based on all these media reports and then he sat down actually looked at it for himself and he said
56:46
Hey, this stuff isn't right You know the the reports that I've been getting Have been inaccurate.
56:53
You can't trust the mainstream media. And yes, he's right. You cannot trust them You can't trust them and that's sad, but that's the state of our such that that's the state of our country right now
57:03
You cannot believe these people one of the other things I noticed here in in watching some of the reactions is
57:12
Just the incredible amount of hate that has been Generated from from people on from liberals and there are a number of tweets.
57:25
I just was kind of going through different Twitter feeds of well -known liberals and You know, here's one.
57:33
I'll share with you. I'm not gonna share all these we're getting close to an hour here So I kind of what I guess we're gonna start wrapping things up here
57:39
But but this is a guy named Keith Boykin and Keith Boykin Let's see
57:48
Anyway, he's a well -known guy. He's got a blue check here So this is what he said He says
57:53
I knew it Kyle Rittenhouse is proof that white people can still break the law Carry illegal weapons shoot and kill people and get away with it in America by shedding tears and claiming self -defense well
58:04
Yeah, here's the thing Kyle Rittenhouse, you know, he didn't break the law
58:11
He was found innocent. He was found not guilty By a jury of his peers. He did not carry an illegal weapon.
58:18
He did shoot and kill a few people But it was in self -defense And it's not just merely a claim of self -defense
58:25
It actually was self -defense and here's the thing that I find interesting about you know People like Keith Boykin what he apparently doesn't seem to understand is that Kyle Rittenhouse Has no more rights than he does
58:38
Keith Boykin has all the constitutional the same constitutional rights That Kyle Rittenhouse does he has a right to keep in bear arms
58:46
He has a right to defend himself when attacked and using deadly force if necessary.
58:52
He has a right to these things and Yeah, but but he wants to act as though somehow
58:58
Kyle Rittenhouse has some tremendous privilege that that he himself doesn't have
59:03
And and that's simply that that that's simply false You know, and if he believes that then if he truly believes that then then he's got you know, he
59:16
He's he's he's greatly mistaken. Yeah, and then here's another guy.
59:22
This is from Gavin Newsom Now, let's see what old Gavin has to say He says America today you can break the law carry around weapons built for a military shoot and kill people and get away with it
59:31
That's the message. We've just sent armed vigilantes across the nation. No No governor
59:37
Newsom, that's not the message the message is that You're actually allowed to keep in bear arms and use them to defend your own life if needed
59:46
It's called self -defense you know and you know that is a a doctrine that is a a point of American law has recognized
59:58
That is a point that I believe is grounded. It is it's grounded in the scriptures It is a
01:00:04
Christian concept it is a constitutional concept, you know, and Yeah, Gavin Newsom.
01:00:11
I think I liked him better when he was hiding from the public I guess because of I guess a bad reaction was kovat shot and I don't know
01:00:18
I thought maybe he might hope maybe he would learn something but obviously he hasn't learned anything and he's gonna come out and and talk trash about Something and and spread misinformation around about Kyle Rittenhouse and slander him
01:00:32
And and that's unfortunate, you know Gavin Newsom is Anyway That's another subject as a subject for another day, so we'll just we'll just leave it at that But yeah, the the liberal liberal
01:00:49
Twitter in fact liberals in general there there were heads exploding all over the country and So yeah that I I'm glad you know
01:00:58
I prayed for Kyle Rittenhouse and I'm gonna continue to pray for him because he's gonna have a tough battle going forward some people have brought up the possibility that he may
01:01:08
You know that he may be facing federal prosecution, I don't know that could happen I mean after all the jury didn't get the quote right verdict
01:01:16
So I certainly I have no doubt that if the by administration can get away with it that they may try to do something
01:01:23
Now there's an opinion and this was actually a legal analyst on MSNBC He kind of poo -pooed that whole idea and I hope he's right.
01:01:31
I don't know Just because something is a low percentage play it doesn't mean they might not try to do it
01:01:39
So we'll see You know, I I don't know if Kyle Rittenhouse is a Christian or not
01:01:45
But you know, I I do know this I think there's no question, you know based upon if you look at the testimony in the trial if you look at his actions what what the the videos actually tell us, you know that he was a civic -minded patriot as as Bill Ackman said and and you know, he stood up for what was right and it's
01:02:05
I I'm very happy That that he was acquitted that he was found not guilty on the on the five
01:02:14
Five charges that he was faced because he could have gone to jail for life for those and you know, that has been a
01:02:21
Very difficult last year and you could tell that from his reaction and that would be difficult for any of us
01:02:26
You know, and I can't imagine facing that at at such a young age as well But he did and so let's let us hope that and pray that that there'll be better things ahead
01:02:39
