When the US media attacks the US military via biased reporting and fabricated stories · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

0:20
Well, welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
0:22
Thank you so much for joining today's broadcast.
0:25
As you know, there is a uh a lot of talk, a lot of debate, a lot of discussion regarding the United States role uh in the war with Iran.
0:36
And uh I'm gonna try to clear up some things for you because there's a lot of disinformation, misinformation, bad information, and sadly to say, uh manufactured information by some of our own news outlets across America, that's certainly not uh delivering to the American people what they need to know.
0:57
And uh so I'm gonna try to uh break down some of the information that you're being fed to at least uh get you to understand exactly in certain instances in certain uh combat related incidents that will uh clear some things up for you.
1:14
Because I've talked to some of the people who I know who are watching the news media, listening to the news media, and they're just so confused over uh who's saying what, why they're saying this and that.
1:26
Uh, you go to one station, you hear one story about this particular topic, another story about a particular topic, and then there's just a lot of uh divergent views that are not helping the American people live through what is a nightmare.
1:41
Any war is a nightmare.
1:43
One of the things I want to uh tackle immediately is this uh idea that the media that the mainstream media seems to be pounding their drums about is that the American people don't support our troops, don't support the war effort.
2:00
Nobody supports war.
2:02
I don't support war, you don't support war, but I've got to tell you something.
2:06
When we're in a war, I support our troops.
2:09
I'll stand up strong and support them and do whatever I can to help them to combat the enemies of this nation.
2:18
Unfortunately, not everybody thinks that way.
2:21
A lot of the mainstream media don't think that way, and sadly to say, we have a lot of political leaders in the United States, Congress and particularly, who don't think that way, and have proven to me, and perhaps proven to you that they don't think that way.
2:36
How did they do that?
2:38
Well, for quite some time, they did not pass legislation to pay the United States Coast Guard war fighters on the battlefield, their salaries.
2:49
They cut funding to the Department of Homes and Security, which cuts all of our vital critical checkpoints at airports, borders, and on and on and on.
3:02
In other words, they have placed you and me in jeopardy because of their political agenda.
3:07
And it all boils down to this.
3:09
I know a lot of people don't want to hear it, but it boils down to the fact that they hate.
3:15
They hate, at least in my view, the Trump administration so much that they will jeopardize your life and my life when it comes to our national security.
3:25
Now, one might say that's an over exaggeration.
3:28
One might say, well, that's not the truth.
3:30
Well, I've got to tell you, it took me a long time to come to that conclusion.
3:33
But I do not see any logical reason why any lawmaker would stop funding the Department of Homeland Security in a time of war.
3:46
Can you figure that one out?
3:48
I can't figure it out.
3:50
I don't know how on earth any sane human being, let alone a so-called leader in our own government who takes a position that is contrary to what we are all trying to do, and that is to defeat an enemy.
4:07
But that's what has been done.
4:09
I understand, at least as of recent, uh the Coast Guard is now getting their paychecks, and uh the TSA, they're still short with manpower, border patrol, they're sure.
4:22
I mean, all kinds of the homeland security apparatus, intelligence gathering, buying up equipment, computer, software, etc.
4:30
Money isn't there.
4:32
Here we go again.
4:33
Open up the gates, open up the doors, let the terrorist cells come together and have a kumbaya.
4:40
Because the United States Congress, at least a part of it, is not doing their job, and the primary job of any government of this government, the United States of America, is to protect and defend the people from domestic and foreign enemies.
4:56
And I believe, I believe that every American, no matter if you're a Republican, Democrat, no matter what you are, you need to make a stand and make that stand election day.
5:09
We have the power.
5:10
I've always said we the people have the power.
5:14
Why we don't use it in mass, I don't get it.
5:17
There'll be all kinds of crazies out there marching and screaming and hollering and blocking traffic.
5:23
They they do it.
5:25
I don't suggest we do that.
5:27
I want to do something that means something that counts, that has power, that has might, and that sends a message.
5:34
The only message that I get out of those who are disrupting people's ability to get to work, to get to a doctor to get here and there, who are disrupting the lives of innocent people.
5:47
They're not disrupting the lives of our enemies.
5:49
They're disrupting the lives of the American people.
5:52
The only thing I get out of that is that they're blocking traffic.
5:55
They're causing chaos and hate and havoc.
5:58
They have become an arm, a tentacle, if you will, of the enemies of this country.
6:04
Yes, they have.
6:06
And I've said that all along with regard to some of the propaganda we now hear and see on the airwaves across this country.
6:13
They have become an arm.
6:15
They have become a tentacle of the propaganda machine coming out of Iran in this case.
6:21
Coming out of Iran.
6:23
And they're not going to stop.
6:26
They want to put us to sleep, folks.
6:27
Not literally.
6:28
Maybe at times they do want to put us to sleep literally.
6:31
But I'm talking about put us asleep politically.
6:35
They want to discourage us, diminish our capacity and ability to take action against our enemies.
6:43
And to me, our enemies is anyone, anyone who aids in a bits, any country that wants to destroy our country.
6:52
Yep.
6:52
That's where I feel.
6:54
And I would hope and believe that many of you listening feel that way.
6:58
It's very, very important that we stand up and do what we must with regard to our enemies.
7:07
Now, let's get back to one particular news item that I need to address because it's the talk of the town, if you will.
7:15
It's conversations all over the place with regard to those who are watching closely what's going on between the United States and Iran.
7:24
There has been in the past, is now and will be in the future, a tragic cost of war.
7:32
Now, due to the widespread misinformation, the widespread disinformation, the biased reporting, and the fabricated stories on both mainstream media and social media platforms, the people of our country here in the United States of America are increasingly confused and frustrated and discussing.
7:53
I mean, I'm sorry, and and just distinguishing a lack of truth from what should be the truth, and at the same time are realizing that there doesn't seem to be much truth coming over the airwaves these days.
8:14
Because there's a lot, a lot of bad information, as I said earlier, being broadcasted across the airwaves in this country.
8:23
Now I've got to tell you, due to dissemination of information by foreign entities, and they're out there on social media platforms, especially the American public is increasingly engaged in a complex information environment.
8:41
In other words, you and I are now involved in this war.
8:47
There is a war going on, not only with bullets and bombs, but a psychological war going on, better known as psychops.
8:56
That's right, psychops, psychological warfare.
8:59
And it's been launched by the Iranian government against you and me and the American people from coast to coast.
9:06
This is a campaign that is targeting all of us.
9:10
We better wake up, and all of us for the purpose of lowering our morale and making sure that we are now going to be questioning the wisdom of getting involved in this war and questioning the motives of our military.
9:26
That's what they want you and me to do.
9:28
So as I've said over and over again, all of us, it's you and me, in some way, shape, or form, are now involved with this war.
9:38
We are involved in the battle, if you will.
9:43
The battle between good and evil.
9:45
And thank God Almighty, we're on the good side.
9:48
Now, here's some facts that you may not have heard on mainstream media outlets or social media platforms related to one major news story that I just said.
10:00
Suggested to you that I was going to bring to your attention.
10:03
Some time ago, not a long time ago, I'd say kind of recently, there was a missile strike.
10:11
A missile strike in Iran that resulted in the destruction of a girls' elementary school that caused over a hundred fatalities.
10:19
Make no mistake about it.
10:20
The mainstream media jumped on that.
10:22
In fact, one mainstream media outlet, who I refused to name on the air, got permission from our enemies, the Iranian government to go to the scene of where this missile struck the school.
10:36
Could you imagine that?
10:37
Why would the enemy do that?
10:39
Because the enemy was confident enough that the story that was going to come out of the mouths of those reporters, at least in my view, would be more favorable to the goals and objectives of our enemies than to the United States of America.
10:55
Yeah, that's I believe that, folks.
10:57
I'm not going to buy into the fact, well, we're journalists, we could go anywhere.
11:00
Yeah, no, that journalism doesn't exist anymore in America.
11:03
I've said that over and over again.
11:06
A lot of these mainstream media outlets have indeed become an arm of propaganda, a piece of a propaganda machine, if you will, of our enemies.
11:18
Intentionally, I don't know.
11:20
I'm beginning to believe that they're not out there intentionally helping our enemies.
11:25
They are there intentionally helping a political machine within the borders of the United States of America, a political agenda.
11:36
Yep.
11:37
I believe that.
11:39
I tell you the truth, I never wanted to believe that.
11:44
But I'll tell you what, just like you, as I said earlier, I'm part of the American crowd that's getting frustrated over all this stuff.
11:50
Asking myself, what are they doing?
11:52
Why they airing this stuff like this?
11:55
Why are they putting the questions into the minds and hearts and souls of the American people with regard to our motives as a country?
12:05
Fighting a war for our own national security, yes, as well as trying to prevent a major, major conflict in the Mideast.
12:13
There are other countries involved.
12:15
There were other countries involved in every war we fought in.
12:20
But why is the media doing that?
12:22
So I'm as frustrated as you are.
12:24
But this missile strike on this school was a tragic, tragic incident.
12:28
We all know that.
12:30
But there is an ongoing investigation.
12:33
But the media don't want to wait for the facts.
12:36
They don't want to wait for the investigation to end.
12:39
They want to go out there to do what?
12:42
Again, in my view, to blame the United States government for this tragic, tragic incident.
12:48
They blame the United States because a wave of U.S.
12:51
and Israeli airstrikes of an area close to the school had occurred.
12:57
And it is believed a U.S.
12:59
missile hit the school.
13:02
They believed that.
13:04
And you know what?
13:05
That might be the case.
13:07
But there may have been a reason why, if a missile did hit the school, there may be a reason why that happened.
13:15
Or maybe it wasn't the missile that hit the school.
13:17
Maybe the missile hit its target, and the school happened to be in a close proximity of the school, and that was the result of what you call collateral damage.
13:28
But no, the media did not wait a minute.
13:31
They didn't take a breath before they ended up going to uh uh report their news media uh uh stories about this.
13:41
Absolutely incredible.
13:44
Anyway, you got these airstrikes, a school gets hit with something, either a direct hit with a missile or some debris from a very close, close missile strike in the media of our country, along with the Iranian government, not saying that they purposely were partners, it just so happens that the Iranian government, by default, if you will, becomes a partner of all this propaganda that some of the uh American media is putting out.
14:16
They decide at the same time to bring some questions into the motives of the United States government regarding this incident.
14:26
Now, what many people may not know, haven't heard this part reported, that this school, this girls' school, used to be part of an Islamic revolutionary guard corps base, a military base, before it was converted into a civilian educational institution several years ago.
14:46
So maybe the intelligence on this wasn't updated, if in fact it was a missile that directly struck the school, which I don't believe that happened.
14:55
I don't think there's any evidence that happened.
14:57
I think the evidence is beginning to bring to surface, or at least reveal that there was a military target that was hit, but because the school was in close proximity of that target, a lot of debris, heavy debris, like heavy concrete debris came down on that school and caused that tragedy.
15:19
Now, according to some reports, a preliminary investigation found that the school was damaged as a result of a precision strike targeting a nearby military facility.
15:31
Not targeting the school, folks, but targeting a military facility.
15:36
So the subsequent explosion, some say, did impact the school building, and it did cause mass casualties.
15:45
How sad, I'll tell you.
15:47
Your heart breaks when kids become victims of war.
15:50
Remember I said the tragic cost of war.
15:53
And so, again, before the facts are known, the Americans are killers, we target civilians, we do this, we do that, we're the great Satan, we're the great evil.
16:05
And some of our allies are actually echoing that kind of stuff.
16:08
Allies.
16:10
NATO.
16:12
Think about that.
16:12
Where are you, NATO?
16:13
Where are you?
16:14
Hey, you know, folks, again, I know I sound like a broken record.
16:17
But you have you heard much about the United Nations?
16:20
Other than their, I don't know, the UN uh leader, uh chairman, whatever his title is these days, uh, UN Secretary General gets up there.
16:31
I see him every once in a while, busy condemning the United States, condemning Israel.
16:35
Imagine that.
16:37
You're not condemning the fact that innocent people are being killed in Israel and the United Arab Emirates in Saudi Arabia, in Dubai, right?
16:50
And other countries in the Mid East, Americans are being killed.
16:53
You do not condemn the fact that missiles ended up on a British air base, not in Britain, but somewhere in the Mid East.
17:04
You don't condemn that fact.
17:06
No, they don't.
17:07
And the American media, the liberal American media, the mainstream media.
17:15
I don't see them reporting much of that.
17:17
A little here, a little there, so what?
17:19
But they are busy reporting some incidents that are involved the United States military, and they are not shedding much factual light on those incidents.
17:30
They're bringing darkness, as far as I'm concerned.
17:34
Yeah, we could talk about this forever, folks, but you need to know the facts about this missile strike and what they're talking about in relation to that strike and this school building.
17:45
That's why I think it's important that I share this with you.
17:50
You know, several media outlets.
17:52
I used to say a few media outlets, but it is several at this point.
17:57
And no doubt our adversaries, they have alleged that the United States deliberately targeted that school and attempted to conceal the events that took place during that missile strike.
18:11
What events?
18:12
They're actually believing or leading people to believe that our government's trying to cover up what actually happened.
18:20
Impossible.
18:22
Maybe 20, 30 years ago, they could succeed at that.
18:26
There are so many cameras and satellite photos and and and so much uh information going around the world that uh the truth you can't hide anymore.
18:38
I'm sorry.
18:38
The truth you cannot.
18:40
I'm sorry.
18:40
You just can't do that.
18:42
You can't hide it.
18:45
The truth of the matter is, in this particular situation is exactly what I shared with you.
18:51
But the mainstream media and our adversaries want you to believe, oh, that's not the truth.
18:56
Well, let's see their facts.
18:58
Let's see their facts.
19:00
We've got facts.
19:01
We've got, I understand satellite imagery that the missile struck the military complex or building or whatever, and that the debris from that strike hit that building.
19:12
People will say, oh, it was doctored.
19:14
Well, you really believe that, folks.
19:17
Could it happen?
19:18
Well, maybe they could doctor one.
19:22
One bit of imagery, but somebody's gonna come up with another one and another one and another one.
19:27
Cameras all over the place.
19:30
But our enemies just, you know what?
19:34
They plant these seeds, enough of them to get somebody to watch it grow.
19:39
And that somebody takes it instead of deleting it, they share it.
19:44
Oh, yeah, they share it.
19:46
And that person shares it, and before you know it, the lie spreads.
19:50
You're saying a lie, a lie spreads faster and quicker, and at a more of a greater distance than the truth.
19:58
People don't want to hear.
20:00
The truth.
20:01
They love the lies.
20:02
And our enemies love the lies.
20:05
They think we're all stupid.
20:07
They think we're all gullible.
20:08
Well, they've got news for them.
20:09
They ain't gonna work.
20:11
That's pretty much not happening.
20:12
We're not buying into their uh propaganda machine.
20:17
They could do the best they can.
20:19
You know what's the best they can do is get the crazies on their side.
20:23
Well, the good guys in this country, the people that have common sense in this country, the United States of America, far out far outnumber the crazies.
20:34
And look, I don't like to call people crazy and this and that, but then they are.
20:38
They are.
20:39
I mean, you gotta be something wrong with you.
20:42
There gotta be something wrong with you when you immediately buy into the story of the people who A, our enemies like Iran, are trying to take our country down, or B, who are more interested, like our media in a more uh are more interested in a political agenda, ratings, or whatever.
21:03
Yeah, gotta be crazy.
21:06
Yep, we got a mental health problem from coast to coast.
21:10
Yes, we do.
21:11
That's another topic we ought to talk about as time goes on.
21:15
But anyway, that's the story about the school.
21:17
Simple, right?
21:18
Right to the point.
21:20
Uh the problem, again, is these media outlets, and these adversaries just won't give up.
21:28
And they've got characterizations that that are not doing, are not doing any uh good for our country and for the people of our nation, especially those who are now fighting the war for us and those families of the war fighters.
21:42
Now, I also hear in some of these news media stories that the United States of America has been targeting civilians, targeting homes, hospitals.
21:56
Of course, we've heard these allegations on and on and on against the nation of Israel, which is not true.
22:04
How do I know it's not true?
22:06
Believe me, I get around, I talk to people living in Israel, I talk to people who, let's put it this way, who are involved in the world of war, involved in a war of intelligence, involved in a world of gathering information.
22:22
No secrets.
22:23
I I'm not privy to any secrets or anything like that, but what I am privy to is the totality of information.
22:31
Huh?
22:32
What in the world is that?
22:33
Well, you learned when you're in a situation where you're investigating something.
22:39
Do not draw conclusions until you have the totality of information.
22:45
In other words, until you have the whole story.
22:47
How's that?
22:50
People like to draw conclusions when they got a quarter of the story, a half of the story, three-quarters of the story, and then they stop.
22:58
That's all I need.
23:00
And then when they find out what the whole story is, the totality of information.
23:05
No more information out there.
23:07
You got it all.
23:08
They find out that they were wrong.
23:11
They find out that their conclusion was wrong.
23:15
And in more than I've learned in life is make sure you know what you're talking about before you go out there and lead people to believe that this is what happened when in fact it did not happen.
23:31
And that's what a lot of our media news networks are doing today.
23:36
They're jumping on it.
23:37
Look at we've seen it, right?
23:38
We've read about it.
23:39
It's happened over and over again, where there were headlines that came out involving certain incidents, and they find out 24 hours later, uh-oh, we better retract that because that headline is not true.
23:52
Too late.
23:53
Well, they say the horse is out of the barn.
23:55
You're running all over the place now.
23:57
It is just too late.
23:59
And there are people who then will say, well, you know what, it's really true, but they don't want to uh uh, you know, they're being forced to retract it, but it's true.
24:09
People are gonna believe what they want to believe.
24:12
But I would hope, and I want to believe that the American people overwhelmingly understand what I'm talking about.
24:21
How about that, folks?
24:22
It's exhausting, isn't it?
24:24
We're busy fighting for our lives for our national security.
24:28
We're trying to make sure a maniac, a maniac in Iran is not going to develop a nuclear weapon that we are gonna feel that's gonna touch our real estate here in the United States of America.
24:42
Some people in our country don't believe that that's the case.
24:47
Some of them don't believe that that'll ever happen.
24:50
Well, I never believed it up until recently.
24:54
You think Iran doesn't have enriched uranium?
24:57
Well, they do.
24:57
How do you know there, Mr.
24:59
Rogers?
24:59
Because they said so.
25:01
They said they've got it.
25:03
They said they got enriched uranium, uh, telling us they're gonna use it for power, for energy.
25:09
Yeah, power and energy in a guided ballistic missile pointed towards us.
25:14
See that part they won't tell you.
25:16
And the mainstream media, they kind of laid off of that story.
25:20
Yeah.
25:21
Is it a shame that that we're even having this discussion?
25:25
But it's important that we do.
25:28
It's important that we do.
25:30
And like I said, uh a big part of this war, a big part of this war is now you and me, especially when it comes to the propaganda being spread across the internet, because part of the tragic cost of war is the waning or strengthening of our support for our troops, for our war fighters.
25:54
Now, I don't say for our support of the war.
25:57
Nobody supports war.
25:59
Nobody wants war.
26:01
But when we're in a war, we got to make a decision.
26:05
We're gonna either support this side or that side.
26:08
We're gonna support our troops, we're gonna support our government, we're gonna support every single level of government influence with regard to this war, whether we like who's in office or not, we're gonna make sure that we stand together as Americans and win this war together.
26:26
But that's not the case today.
26:29
Got maniacs.
26:32
Crazies out on the streets yelling death to America.
26:36
In Iran, they're thanking America.
26:38
In Iran, those who have been subjected to slavery, beatings, torture, rape, you name it, hangings, beheadings.
26:45
I mean, what went on and I mean what's going on in that country is tragic.
26:49
They're just thanking us.
26:51
American flags flying until they got gunned down by their own government.
26:55
Well, in this country, these crazies are out on the streets marching, chanting death to America.
27:04
Well, they're chanting, God bless America on the streets of Iran up until recently.
27:11
You see, those in America don't see those in uh uh uh Iran marching anymore because a lot of them are dead.
27:19
30,000, they say, shot down, gunned down, chemical weapons.
27:24
But you see, you're allowed to march around in America, and I want you to.
27:27
I want I don't listen, I don't want to deny anybody the right to protest.
27:31
I don't like it, I don't like what you're saying.
27:34
But don't get don't go disrupting my life.
27:36
Do your little protest, do whatever you want.
27:39
But I do recommend you try that on the streets of the country you're supporting.
27:44
Yeah, try that.
27:45
Not against America, try it against them.
27:49
If you last a minute, I'll tell you what, you lasted a long time.
27:55
But that is what's going on.
27:56
That is what is going on.
27:58
No common sense, people aren't thinking.
28:02
But some of the greatest um tragedies, the greatest losses, the greatest cost of war, is people losing their way.
28:13
Yeah.
28:15
I have a concern that NATO, as a result of this war, has lost their way.
28:23
President of the United States has asked for help.
28:26
Come on, you know, to your oil tankers that are going through the Strait of Formose.
28:32
The American Navy, the U.S.
28:33
Navy's out there defending your ships.
28:37
We need your help.
28:40
And I understand help is not on the way.
28:45
Not from Germany, France, not even Japan, not the United Kingdom.
28:51
Oliver LI said, no, we're not gonna get dragged into this war, Mr.
28:54
President.
28:55
We're not gonna get dragged into this war.
28:59
Folks, we were not dragged into this war.
29:02
War was declared on us 47 years ago.
29:06
People don't want to hear that.
29:07
Ah, it happened so long ago.
29:08
What's the difference?
29:09
What's the difference?
29:10
Had we acted 47 years ago, we wouldn't have an uh a Mid East that's ready to go up in flames.
29:18
I don't want to leave my kids with a Mideast that's ready to go up in flames, and that the flames are so high and so hot that they're gonna reach here in America.
29:28
So if I have to do what I have to do now to prevent that from happening, I'm gonna do it.
29:33
And I believe many of you support that.
29:37
I really do.
29:38
I've talked to people in all kinds of towns and cities from all walks of life, and people have been around long enough understand why we're there.
29:47
They understand why we need to get involved in this now.
29:50
Nobody wants a protracted war.
29:53
But it may take a little time, may take a little time.
30:00
Now, as I said, we don't target civilians.
30:03
In fact, a lot of people don't know exactly how we target.
30:07
There are several groups of individuals who review recommended targets during war.
30:13
They assess the potential amount of damage and they estimate possible casualties before they launch an attack.
30:21
A lot of work goes into this.
30:22
They don't just overnight take a map out and some intelligence information.
30:26
Oh, good.
30:27
Based on A, B and C, we're going to attack.
30:30
But they want to know what about C E N F all the way to Z.
30:36
And there are levels of agencies and people who are experts in the field who are going to look at every single bit of information and footage on any uh video they have or any intelligence they have before they launch an attack.
30:53
And if we think, meaning the United States thinks that innocent people might be harmed or even killed during an attack on a particular target, there's a very strong chance we're not gonna proceed with that attack.
31:07
The investigation with regard again to this very tragic situation with the school in Iran appears to be leading towards the fact that it was not intentional.
31:20
It was a tragic cost of war.
31:24
That's it.
31:25
Case closed.
31:28
Why is not the case closed?
31:30
Why does the media continue to harp on maybe it's this, maybe it's that.
31:36
Because it doesn't fit their agenda.
31:39
You know, I've said that our nation, I've said this on a few other uh news broadcasts I've been on.
31:46
Uh forgets, as well as the Iranian leadership forgets, who maybe they didn't even know about this.
31:53
The words of a Japanese admiral, yep, back in uh 1941, I believe it was, or at least the early 40s, Admiral Soko Yamamoto, famous guy.
32:07
He was the admiral who was leading the Japanese warships, the Japanese fleet towards Pearl Harbor for that fateful attack on December 7th, 1941.
32:18
Now he took a little time on the way to Hawaii, and he assessed, carefully assessed the plan attack.
32:27
He assessed, he looked it over the the attack that they were planning at Pearl Harbor.
32:33
And here's his famous quote to his men to his leadership during a meeting they had on an aircraft carrier on their way to attack the United States.
32:43
Listen to this, folks.
32:44
I'm going to quote him.
32:46
You ready?
32:47
Are you sitting down?
32:49
I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.
32:59
Admiral Yamamoto was talking about America.
33:05
He feared that America, a sleeping giant, would grow angry and be filled with a terrible resolve.
33:16
The sleeping giant that Japan awakened back then in 1941 with the United States Navy and all of America's military forces and all of the American people from coast to coast.
33:32
Today, in our lifetime, that same sleeping giant, the United States of America has been awakened by the government of Iran.
33:45
That's right.
33:46
Doesn't history have a way of repeating itself.
33:52
The Iranian government needs to have a history lesson.
33:55
That when you attack the United States of America, you're attacking a very powerful sleeping giant that will come back and obliterate you, destroy you.
34:08
And that is what I believe is going to happen in this war.
34:14
There's a Bible scripture, Matthew 24-6, that we all should take heed to.
34:21
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars.
34:25
But see to it that you are not alarmed.
34:29
Such things must happen.
34:31
But the end is still to come.
34:35
I am one of those individuals who believe in the word of God, the Bible, you know that.
34:40
And when I read scriptures like that, I sometimes believe that we may be getting to the beginning of the end.
34:49
Because there are a lot of wars going on, a lot of violence.
34:53
But we are not to give up.
34:55
We are one nation of I'm sure a few others that is blessed by God Almighty.
35:03

Well, thank you so much for joining me at the second half hour of our broadcast here at America Out Loud News.
38:25
And it is news, folks, that you're going to receive this second half hour, but a different type of news.
38:30
Oh, yeah, quite different than what you heard during the first half hour of our broadcast.
38:36
As you know, during the first half hour, we're addressing uh news from around the world, news here in the United States, news from our United States military, news from law enforcement officers.
38:47
Most of it is gloom and doom, other news that we deal with is political in nature during the first half.
38:54
Uh a lot of it has to do with a lot of the problems and challenges that our nation is facing from domestic policies and national security policies.
39:04
But it's all news that we believe you need to know that helped shape the destiny of our country and perhaps shapes you as a human being and citizen of this great nation.
39:16
But what about what you're listening to now?
39:18
The second half of this broadcast.
39:21
What I'm talking about is you're going to be listening to news this second half, unlike news that you just heard on the first half of the broadcast.
39:29
Because the news that I'm going to share with you, you already have.
39:32
Yep, you have it in a book.
39:34
A book that's in your bookshelf, a book that's in your home in your office, a book that you probably, for the most part, never really pick up during the course of a given week.
39:45
I believe that the overwhelming majority of people here in the United States and perhaps around the world, have not opened up the book I'm about to share with you for a long, long, long time.
39:58
But this book became very
40:00
Very important to me when I was a naval officer when I was aboard ships on some of the deployments we had.
40:07
And as I got around military bases, I learned that more and more people in the United States Navy, because I was in the Navy, but in the military were picking up this book.
40:17
And then in my career as a police officer, the same thing.
40:21
Cops got closer to this book.
40:23
And I would venture to say that many of you in the different professions you have, somehow, someway, during the course of your life in the profession, whether you're a plumber, a teacher, a doctor, a lawyer, someone who is working very, very hard to keep our city safe and clean.
40:41
All right.
40:42
I look at I I admire the people when I walk into a mall who are cleaning those mall floors up and washing them windows and cleaning the tables.
40:53
I really admire them to the point where I go up to them and thank them.
40:57
Oh yeah, I do that.
40:58
My wife will bear witness to that.
41:01
If I see a plumber working on a pipe or somebody out in the street with the sanitation department cleaning up the garbage that we leave out there, I'd thank them.
41:12
Because we've got to let people know that they count.
41:15
You know why I feel that way?
41:17
Because God lets me know I count.
41:19
And he lets you know you count when he begins to move in your life somehow, some way.
41:24
During that during the times that you may not even know it.
41:28
Oh yeah.
41:29
So where's this book?
41:30
Where's this uh magical book, if you will, of good news of hope, right?
41:35
Of a great future for you.
41:38
Well, B I B L E.
41:43
Bible.
41:43
That book is the Holy Bible.
41:46
Better known as the book of good news, better known as the book of life.
41:51
Better known as the book of light of hope.
41:55
You see, the book, the holy Bible is indeed a book of life.
42:01
It shows us how we should live.
42:03
It shows us the pathway to a great and beautiful, wonderful eternal life.
42:09
Now, if you have absolutely no belief in what I'm there sharing with you, don't go nowhere.
42:15
Hang around.
42:16
I want you to listen.
42:17
Because you're not here by mistake.
42:19
Oh no.
42:20
I believe that every single thing that happens in life, somehow, some way, other in a small way or in a very large way, there is something divinely appointed by that.
42:32
Yes.
42:33
In other words, God is in our lives, whether we like it or not, whether we accept him or not, he is in our lives.
42:41
So what about this book, the Bible?
42:43
Well, how about this?
42:45
I couldn't figure out many, many years ago, how would I describe the Bible?
42:50
How would I define the Bible?
42:52
And somebody asked me, what is the Bible?
42:54
I would tell them, well, it's the book written uh through the power of the Holy Spirit through man to leave a historical, you know, a history of of how God moved on earth years ago.
43:07
I mean, that's all I could come up with.
43:09
What would I know?
43:10
As a young person back then, that's you know, this is God's word.
43:13
I love it, I've been taught about it.
43:15
A lot of neat things in there.
43:16
Saved my life several times, I could tell you that.
43:19
But as I got older, I began to study that word.
43:23
But that's what I would tell people.
43:25
But someone years ago sent me a definition, a description of the Bible.
43:31
And it's entitled The Bible, the Word of God.
43:33
Who is that someone?
43:34
I don't know.
43:35
Nobody knows.
43:36
It's on the internet, I'm sure.
43:38
You look up the Bible, the Word of God, and you'll get what I'm about to share with you.
43:42
And you know who the author is?
43:44
Unknown.
43:45
That's right.
43:47
Unknown.
43:48
And this unknown author described the Bible as this.
43:52
Now, listen carefully.
43:54
This is really important.
43:56
The Bible.
43:57
The Bible reveals the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers.
44:10
Its doctrines are holy.
44:12
Its precepts are binding.
44:14
Its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable.
44:20
Read it to be wise.
44:22
Believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy.
44:27
It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.
44:34
It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter.
44:44
Here paradise is gained, heaven opened, and hell disclosed.
44:50
Christ is its grand object.
44:53
Our good its design and the glory of God its end.
44:57
It shall fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide defeat.
45:02
Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully.
45:06
It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure.
45:12
It is given you in life, will be opened in the judgment and be remembered forever.
45:17
It involves the highest responsibility, promises the highest reward for labor, and condemns all who trifle with its sacred contents.
45:28
The Bible is the word of God.
45:32
And therein lies your solution to all of your problems, your peace when your soul, your spirit, your heart is at war with those problems and the challenges that you are facing each and every day.
45:47
Let's talk about the Bible for a minute.
45:50
I want to talk about what I just shared with you.
45:52
The Bible reveals the mind of God.
45:55
You know, many people wonder what's on God's mind when I'm praying.
45:59
Gee, I wonder what's on his mind.
46:00
Is he really paying attention to me?
46:02
Is he really bothering about me, this puny little me on earth when he's got all these problems to deal with?
46:09
The answer is yes.
46:11
God loves you.
46:13
God has embraced you as not only a son or a daughter, but as a friend.
46:20
He can do whatever he wants.
46:22
All the power in the world.
46:23
So one has to believe that what's on God's mind is not only all these problems around the world.
46:30
He can snap his finger and end them.
46:32
But there's a reason why he doesn't do it, and some other time we'll get into that.
46:36
But what's on his mind is you.
47:02
Ask and ye shall find.
47:04
Seek.
47:05
I'm sorry, ask, seek and knock, okay?
47:09
Ask and it shall be given.
47:11
Seek and ye shall find, knock, and the door shall be open.
47:17
That's all he wants us to do.
47:18
He wants you to go to him.
47:21
He wants you to embrace him as he embraces you.
47:25
So that's what's on his mind.
47:27
Also, in that book, the Bible is the way of salvation.
47:31
Look, there's only way one way of salvation.
47:33
And I'm not going to get into a doctrinal philosophical, theological debate with anybody about this.
47:40
This is purely my belief based on the book of life, the word of God that I believe in.
47:47
A lot of people say, well, what makes you right?
47:49
Doesn't make me right, makes him right.
47:52
But it is the way of salvation.
47:53
And the only way of salvation is written in the Bible, book of John, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
47:59
No man cometh to the Father but by me.
48:02
Who?
48:02
Who is the way, the truth, and the life?
48:04
His name is Jesus Christ.
48:07
He is part of what we call the triune God, the God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
48:13
I am the way, the truth, and the life.
48:14
You ain't getting to dad unless you get through me.
48:17
That's what he's saying.
48:18
How do you get through him?
48:20
Well, you say a prayer.
48:22
And the prayer is very short, very long, short as long as you want, but the prayer does this.
48:28
It simply says to God that you realize and recognize that you're a sinner.
48:33
Now, how do you know that?
48:34
Well, you know, you know your sins.
48:36
You know, you're committing some sort of sin out there, you know that.
48:39
Uh oh, I'm stepping upon something very sensitive.
48:43
But sometimes it has to be said.
48:45
You know, I I never believed I was a sinner, way back before I knew Christ and read the Bible.
48:51
But I've got to tell you, I didn't know the way of salvation either.
48:56
I believed in God, didn't know that all I had to do certain things.
48:59
It was very simple.
49:00
You could believe in something.
49:01
Look, Satan believes in God.
49:04
I believe in God, and then I'm thinking, gee, after I leave this earth, where am I going?
49:08
Some people will tell me, because I did ask people, eh, that's it.
49:12
It's over, done with.
49:13
You're you're finished.
49:14
You know, you came from dust, you're going to dust.
49:16
I don't want to become a piece of dirt when I leave this earth.
49:19
You believe God creating you and me and going through all of this and life that we've gone through and facing both good, you know, bad and be to be in between, and we end up a piece of dirt on a baseball field.
49:30
Somebody's going to kick us around.
49:32
You see, it sounds ridiculous because it is ridiculous.
49:36
He created us for a reason.
49:38
And that reason, yeah, is to do the best we could on this earth according to his laws and his rules.
49:44
He knows we're not perfect, but we are sinners.
49:47
And he's given us a pathway to deal with our sin.
49:49
And he not only did that, but he said, Listen, here's what's going to happen.
49:53
I'm going to take away your sins.
49:55
I will be the sacrifice for your sins.
49:57
Look, in the old Testament days, they got a whole of
50:00
A lamb or some animal, and they kill that lamb as a sacrifice for the sins that they committed.
50:06
They shed that lamb's blood.
50:08
If you notice, ready, folks.
50:11
Jesus Christ, God is known as the Lamb, the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, get it, who took takes away the sins of the world.
50:20
Now, all us Christians know that.
50:22
That's in a lot of our prayers.
50:23
It's in the Bible.
50:24
So Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God gets on that cross, gets crucified for you and me.
50:29
Hard to understand.
50:30
You bet it is.
50:31
Do I believe it?
50:32
You bet I do.
50:33
Because it's written not only in the Bible, but that crucifixion is written in a number of historical books that have been written from way back then, even by a guy named Josephus, I believe his name is very, very famous.
50:48
And uh written the history of Israel, wrote the history of Israel.
50:51
Paul, Peter, Mark, Luke, John, all the disciples.
50:53
They witnessed this.
50:55
Mary, right?
50:56
You know, they they all witnessed his crucifixion.
50:59
So why did he go up there on the cross?
51:01
For you and for me.
51:02
It's simple.
51:03
Wasn't simple for him.
51:05
Simple for us.
51:06
So when I began to realize that if that's the only way to heaven, well, I'm gonna take that chance.
51:14
I'm gonna with my heart say, Lord, I now confess to you my sins.
51:19
I actually told him if I had to stand here, kneel here, sit here, and confess my sins, oh Lord, we'd be here for about a month.
51:26
So can I just let you know that I know I'm a sinner?
51:29
I actually did that, okay?
51:31
I really did.
51:32
And um I did that.
51:34
I just said, Lord, you know, I'm a sinner.
51:37
Some sins I don't even know I committed, some I do, but please I pray and ask that you forgive me.
51:42
And I really believe that you came to this earth.
51:45
I don't understand it all, but I'll accept your word that you came to this earth and shed your blood for my sins.
51:51
And accept you as my friend, my God, my close friend in God and my savior.
51:59
Amen.
52:00
That was it.
52:01
That's what I said.
52:02
Yep.
52:03
Back in 1977.
52:05
Took me a long time to get there from the day I was born in 1951, but I got there.
52:10
And therein was the moment of time that my entire life began to change.
52:16
Did the problems go away?
52:17
Nope.
52:18
Did the difficulties go away?
52:20
Nope.
52:20
Did the storms just pass me by and you know, rain on somebody else?
52:24
Nope.
52:25
Had a lot of problems, difficulties through my life, a lot of challenges, a lot of hopes and dreams I had that didn't come true, but I'm glad they didn't come true because I would not be where I am right now, serving God in a great unique way, as the leader of one of the largest United States Navy nonprofit organizations in this country, as its executive director, as a former city councilman, a former candidate for governor of the state of New Jersey, an individual who was able to work for a presidential campaign and ended up in a White House.
52:59
Yeah, that's me, folks.
53:01
A successful career in the Caris police department, successful naval officer.
53:08
And uh on and on and on.
53:09
And I'm not bragging, I don't do that.
53:11
I just want to give you an example of where your life can go if you just follow not me, not any man on earth, but follow him.
53:22
And that means, look it.
53:23
You say your prayer, you say just like I did, confess your sins to him, talk to him, have a conversation with him.
53:29
Talk to him like I'm talking to you.
53:31
You think I get on my knees every time I pray?
53:33
No, I don't.
53:34
I'll talk to him in my car, I'll talk to him, you know, uh uh sometimes when I'm busy uh at work or something like that.
53:42
But most of the time I'm talking to him just like this at three o'clock in the morning.
53:46
Why?
53:47
Because I want to wake up?
53:48
No, because my dog happens to wake me up at three o'clock in the morning, and I was wasting my time doing nothing when he was running around the yard doing whatever he wants to do.
53:57
I decided, what a time to talk to God and pray.
54:02
Make that coffee, pour it in my cup, sit down, I'll read a couple of scriptures and I'll say, I got a problem.
54:08
But I just read this scripture.
54:10
How can I apply this scripture to my life?
54:13
Done that for a long, long time and continue to do it to this day.
54:17
So life for me hasn't been easy, but it hasn't been so hard that I could not overcome any challenge that I have ever faced and will continue to face in my life.
54:30
While serving the United States Navy, I'll never forget at times there were many, many young sailors that I would approach.
54:38
You know, an officer approaches uh a young sailor on a ship who's a seaman or a petty officer, they think they're in trouble.
54:44
Well, I happened to be on the USSE Wojima at some point in time in my career, and I walked across the uh the deck of that ship, and uh I gotta tell you, I ran into a young sailor, and uh we had a conversation about the Navy, and I felt that he was troubled over something.
55:01
He was and uh had an opportunity to talk with him, and uh when I began to talk about the Bible and not uh military law or military counselors who are available, uh uh, etc.
55:15
He began to look at me and his eyes world up.
55:18
I said, You're okay there, young man.
55:19
He says, Well, I'm not.
55:20
And we had a conversation about his life and about some of his troubles, and uh I talked to him about the promises made to him in the Bible, uh, that that God loves him, and that uh there were scriptures in there that would apply to him, and then I recommended him to see a naval chaplain, and then maybe even uh to see some of the uh counselors on on board.
55:43
And uh I gave them uh I gave him that advice, and I gotta tell you I found out later on that uh uh you know it's amazing things, how you find out things in life, all right?
55:54
Found out later on, uh, not too long, but long enough to maybe even forget that moment in time, which I never did, obviously, that things worked out pretty well for this fellow.
56:05
Things worked out pretty well.
56:07
Not because of what I said, but because of what the Lord said to him through that book, the Bible.
56:13
Why?
56:14
Because the mind of God was not on me at that moment in time when I talked to him, was not on anything else, our mission with the United States Navy, but was on that young man.
56:26
That's right.
56:27
And then you do that, you turn your life over to Christ.
56:32
It goes on to say the Bible contains the happiness of believers.
56:36
I am happy.
56:37
Am I happy like this all the time?
56:39
Nope.
56:39
Am I happy like this most of the time?
56:42
Yeah, I am.
56:43
I am.
56:44
Do I worry?
56:45
Yeah, not as much as I used to.
56:47
Concerned about things?
56:49
Yeah, I am, but I've learned to turn them over to Christ.
56:52
I've learned to say, Lord, I don't know how I'm gonna get out of this issue, out of this problem, out of this difficulty, but boy, do I need your help.
57:00
And it comes.
57:01
Okay, thanks very much.
57:03
God bless you.
57:04
Uh, until next time.
57:06
Have a great, great, wonderful, wonderful life.
57:09
Take care now.
57:10
Bye-bye.
