Teen Takeovers are spreading and weak responses are fueling the chaos · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

0:20
Well, ladies and gentlemen, thanks so much for
0:21
joining me during the second half of our
0:23
one hour broadcast.
0:26
I always like to, you know, share with
0:28
you something that I believe is so important,
0:31
so profound, so influential.
0:33
Uh we share so much in our life
0:35
with people.
0:36
We do forget from time to time to
0:39
share what no doubt in my mind, and
0:41
I would hope no doubt in the mind
0:44
of many of you listening, is the most
0:46
influential topic that we can talk about with
0:49
regard to the destiny of our lives and
0:51
the destiny of our nation.
0:54
And that topic happens to be God.
0:57
It happens to be America.
0:59
It happens to be God and country.
1:02
You see, the two are intertwined.
1:06
The two are eternally connected, if you will.
1:10
I strongly believe, without any doubt, based on
1:13
the history of the United States of America
1:16
as well as the history of the Bible,
1:18
that uh God has a lot to do
1:21
with the founding of our country and the
1:23
future of our country.
1:26
So I'm gonna kind of go down that
1:28
road, all right?
1:29
Especially in the view of the fact that
1:32
we are soon celebrating the 250th anniversary of
1:35
our great United States of America.
1:38
Why not talk about God and country at
1:39
this time?
1:40
Why not talk about God and country every
1:43
time that we get on the air?
1:45
Uh and many times, maybe during our personal
1:47
conversations.
1:50
I'm sure many of you may have noticed
1:52
what I have noticed that indeed we have
1:55
separated ourselves to a great degree, meaning we
1:58
the American people have separated our country to
2:00
a great degree from a belief and worship
2:03
in God Almighty.
2:06
Something we need to talk about maybe a
2:08
little bit more often and try to uh
2:11
meet that challenge of getting this country back
2:14
into a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
2:17
What is wrong with that, folks?
2:19
I see nothing wrong with that.
2:20
Look, what I'm about to share with you,
2:23
it's gonna be to some of you very
2:25
startling, perhaps alarming, uh, but no doubt it's
2:28
gonna be sobering.
2:30
So I'm gonna ask you just to sit
2:33
back, take a few minutes, think about what
2:35
I'm about to share with you, and hopefully
2:38
you'll uh you'll really give some thought to
2:40
what we're about to uh have a discussion
2:43
about and uh make life a little bit
2:45
more explainable to you and better for you.
2:48
So here's how I'm gonna start.
2:49
I'm gonna let you know right out, without
2:52
any hesitation, that I believe that God has
2:54
protected the United States of America since its
2:56
founding.
2:59
He's protecting us right now, and he'll continue
3:02
to do so until the end of this
3:05
age.
3:09
When that end comes, I do not know.
3:11
But we know an end is coming.
3:13
We know that there is enough evidence in
3:15
the Bible that makes it very clear that
3:17
the end is coming.
3:20
I've heard a lot of people talk about
3:22
we are living in prophetic times.
3:23
I believe that.
3:25
I believe we may be living right now
3:27
at the beginning of the end times.
3:30
Now it'll take another broadcast or two and
3:32
another discussion to uh unload that to unpack
3:34
that.
3:36
But if you want to know more about
3:38
that, I'll tell you what, folks, read the
3:40
Bible, read the book of Daniel, read the
3:42
book of Revelation.
3:44
It's all there right in front of us.
3:46
Unfortunately, not too many of us these days
3:49
read what's in that book, that great book,
3:51
the Holy Bible, and many who do read
3:53
what's in the book don't believe it.
3:56
Well, that leads us to another discussion at
3:58
another time.
4:00
But as long as we stay close to
4:02
Him, meaning the Lord Jesus Christ, as long
4:04
as we honor Him and worship Him, and
4:07
repent of our sins, not only as individuals,
4:09
but as a nation, we're gonna do fine
4:11
as we move forward.
4:14
Not that we're not gonna have struggles, not
4:16
that you're not gonna have struggles, but we
4:18
will do fine.
4:21
We will overcome our challenges as a country.
4:24
You will overcome your challenges as an individual,
4:26
and we will all be sitting back thanking
4:29
God Almighty for being there with us and
4:32
for us in time of need.
4:35
Now, one place that I go constantly to
4:37
for support is the book of life, the
4:39
Bible.
4:41
Why?
4:42
Well, that's God's living water, and that's the
4:44
bread of life.
4:47
Yeah, that's what the Bible's described as in
4:49
the Word of God, the living water, which
4:51
is the Word of Jesus Christ and the
4:53
bread of life.
4:55
So when I'm thirsty and I'm hungry, not
4:58
for food, but when I'm thirsty and hungry
5:01
for an uplift for for some sort of
5:04
answers to questions I have about life, about
5:06
why I'm here, about my country.
5:10
My goodness, I worry about our country day
5:11
in and day out.
5:12
And I'm sure a lot of you also
5:14
worry about our country.
5:15
But what are you doing about it?
5:17
And what am I doing about it?
5:19
There are things we can't do about the
5:21
things that our country is facing.
5:24
And we don't have to get involved in
5:26
the politics and in the protest and in
5:28
this and in that that man has created.
5:30
All we have to do is stay focused
5:32
on Jesus Christ.
5:34
Period.
5:36
Now, many of you might say it sounds
5:37
too simple.
5:38
Well, it sounds simple because it is simple.
5:42
But yet there's a barrier that's been built.
5:45
And that barrier is sin.
5:47
That barrier is Satan.
5:49
Look, if you don't believe in Satan, well,
5:51
you've got a big problem.
5:53
If you don't believe in God, you've got
5:55
a bigger problem.
5:56
There is a God, there is a savior,
5:59
and there is a devil.
6:01
There is a Satan.
6:03
God has a name.
6:05
His name is Jesus.
6:07
Many of you are unaware of the fact
6:09
that Satan has a name.
6:11
And it's not just the devil, but his
6:13
name is Lucifer.
6:15
So these are two beings, two supernatural beings
6:19
that are a constant war since the creation
6:22
of God Almighty.
6:26
Since the creation of mankind, I should say.
6:29
God was always there.
6:30
All right.
6:31
So I I don't know how he got
6:32
there.
6:34
I don't know anything about the beginning of
6:36
the beginning, but I believe it.
6:39
I believe every word that's in that Bible.
6:43
When he was pretty much asked, well, who
6:44
are you?
6:45
He said, I am who I am.
6:46
I always was and always will be.
6:48
That's all I need to know.
6:50
I have enough faith in the Word of
6:53
God that every single sentence, every single word,
6:55
every single period, every single question mark, every
6:58
single exclamation mark is true.
7:00
Is true, inspired by the Lord Jesus Christ,
7:01
Inspired by the Lord Jesus Christ, inspired by
7:03
inspired by God Almighty.
7:04
God Almighty.
7:06
So that's where you start, folks.
7:06
So that's where you start, folks.
7:08
You gotta believe.
7:08
You gotta believe.
7:08
You don't believe, then forget about it.
7:08
You don't believe, then forget about it.
7:10
Forget about anything.
7:10
Forget about anything.
7:11
Just live your life and get buried in
7:11
Just live your life and get buried in
7:13
a hump of dirt.
7:13
a hump of dirt.
7:15
If you believe in God, and I mean
7:15
If you believe in God, and I mean
7:17
really believe in him, and you accept Jesus
7:17
really believe in him, and you accept Jesus
7:20
as your savior, you have added value to
7:20
as your savior, you have added value to
7:22
preserving the land of the free and the
7:22
preserving the land of the free and the
7:24
home of the brave, as well as preserving
7:25
home of the brave, as well as preserving
7:27
your life.
7:28
your life from the evils that this world
7:30
has brought upon many of us, as brought
7:33
to our doorsteps.
7:36
You know, in scripture, God makes many promises
7:37
to nations.
7:39
Now, as I share some of this with
7:42
you, I'm going to talk about God's promises
7:44
to nations around the world, in particular ours,
7:47
and promises, by the way, you can relate
7:50
to you as an individual.
7:54
So he made many promises to nations, and
7:56
one of them is Psalm 33, 12.
7:59
And you know what that psalm says to
8:00
us?
8:01
It tells us, as a nation, that we
8:04
are truly blessed if we recognize the Lord
8:07
as our God and chooses to follow his
8:10
will.
8:14
That's it.
8:15
Blessed is the nation, that scripture says, whose
8:19
God is the Lord, and the people whom
8:23
he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
8:28
Blessed is the United States of America, folks,
8:32
and Israel, because Israel happens to be, in
8:37
my humble view, God's country.
8:44
He's always, always protected Israel.
8:47
He was in Israel, he ministered in Israel.
8:50
Well, he talks about Jerusalem in the Bible
8:53
over and over and over again, and he
8:55
promises that there'll be a new Jerusalem.
8:57
So anybody who says that Israel is not
9:00
special, and by the way, let me add,
9:03
anybody who not says that the United States
9:06
of America is not special based on our
9:08
history and our relationship with Jesus Christ, they
9:11
don't know what they're talking about.
9:14
They absolutely have no idea with regard to
9:17
God's plan for Israel and the United States
9:20
and how we are eternally bonded together.
9:23
But again, another topic at another time.
9:27
But the point here is that as long
9:29
as we the people, that's you and me,
9:31
as long as we the people decide in
9:34
our individual lives to repent of our lives,
9:36
to our sins, repent of our sins, accept
9:39
Christ as our Savior, accept Him as His
9:41
Word, and you know what?
9:44
There'll be a ripple effect across this country,
9:46
and it'll bring a revival.
9:48
Maybe not a big loud revival that we've
9:50
seen in the past, but I'm talking about
9:52
the revival in the heart, soul, and spirit
9:54
of every American citizen.
9:56
And that'll draw us all close to the
9:58
King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
10:01
And then He'll go to work.
10:02
He'll go to work on keeping His promises
10:04
and blessing us.
10:07
You know, I want you to just think
10:08
about something.
10:09
And I really mean this, because I've done
10:11
this.
10:12
I've looked at periods of time when our
10:16
nation has separated itself from Israel, has separated
10:19
itself in many degrees from worshiping Jesus Christ
10:23
as God Almighty.
10:27
And I've noticed that when that's happened, we've
10:30
suffered some pretty serious consequences in our country.
10:34
Economic downfalls, political pressures unlike any pressures we've
10:37
seen in the history of our country, wars
10:40
that we've gotten involved in, that maybe we
10:43
should not have gotten involved in.
10:47
Now one might say, well, what does God
10:48
have to do with it?
10:49
Well, he has a lot to do with
10:51
that.
10:52
Natural disasters.
10:53
You notice they're increasing, tornadoes, weird weather patterns,
10:57
earthquakes.
11:00
Now, of course, there'll be progressives and others
11:02
who believe not in God or believe not
11:04
in the holy scriptures, that I tell you
11:06
this has a lot to do with uh
11:09
climate change, global warming.
11:11
Well, let's say it does for the sake
11:12
of argument.
11:14
Who created the climate?
11:16
Who created global warming?
11:17
I mean, who's the author and finisher of
11:19
the creation of this planet as well as
11:22
everything?
11:24
God Almighty.
11:25
All roads lead to God.
11:28
All roads lead to Jesus.
11:31
But my point about the fact that we're
11:33
seeing these changes, and that not for good,
11:36
but for bad, but for worse, I believe
11:39
to a certain degree, we're beginning to see,
11:42
just like Pharaoh of Egypt did, when he
11:45
turned his back on God, the God of
11:48
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and decided to worship
11:51
the sun gods and the moon gods and
11:54
all of these other types of gods that
11:57
the Egyptians had, the plagues came.
12:00
The plagues, folks.
12:02
You see, history does repeat itself.
12:06
So judgment came to Pharaoh, as judgment has
12:09
come to nations around the world, to great
12:12
degrees.
12:16
But to the United States of America, and
12:19
particularly to Israel, I don't see any great
12:22
degrees of judgment that have hit this country
12:25
other than when we decided, we meaning our
12:28
government leaders during their times, pretty much uh
12:32
separated themselves or allowed a separation to take
12:35
place between God and country.
12:38
Mary Madeline O'Hara.
12:41
Maybe not a familiar name for a lot
12:44
of individuals who were born after she was
12:46
on this earth, but that's a woman who
12:49
decided to fight the fight of taking prayer
12:51
out of our schools decades ago, won the
12:54
case in the Supreme Court.
12:56
There was an effort to remove in God
12:59
we trust off our money, off our buildings.
13:02
There was an effort to remove, and in
13:04
some success, it's been successful in certain cities,
13:07
uh, any type of celebration of Christmas, citing
13:10
uh separation of church and state in the
13:13
Constitution of the United States.
13:17
Well, I don't know, at least in my
13:20
mind, how a prayer uh endorses a religion.
13:24
How is celebrating Christmas has anything to do
13:26
with the state?
13:29
You know, you can separate probably under our
13:31
laws, the way they're interpreted now, and I
13:33
pray to God that it'll be changed as
13:36
time goes on, but maybe they can be
13:38
successful in separation church and state issues, but
13:40
they're never gonna separate man and God.
13:43
They're never gonna separate America and God, they're
13:45
never gonna separate Israel and God.
13:47
Now, if those of you who live in
13:50
under other countries, if you believe you're part
13:52
of this plan, well, you're right, you are.
13:55
You can be in Canada, be in Europe,
13:57
Africa, any place on earth.
13:59
That promise that goes for us, blessed are
14:00
That promise that goes for us, blessed are
14:02
the nations whose God is the Lord, goes
14:02
the nations whose God is the Lord, goes
14:04
for you too.
14:04
for you too.
14:07
You know, what this passage is saying is
14:07
You know, what this passage is saying is
14:08
very simple.
14:08
very simple.
14:10
A nation does better when it honors God.
14:10
A nation does better when it honors God.
14:13
And the blessing it talks about isn't just
14:13
And the blessing it talks about isn't just
14:15
about money and politics and the material things
14:15
about money and politics and the material things
14:16
of this world.
14:16
of this world.
14:18
It also includes, and probably more important than
14:18
It also includes, and probably more important than
14:20
anything else.
14:22
anything else, it includes spiritual strength, unity, God's
14:23
It includes spiritual strength, unity, God's guidance, God's
14:25
wisdom.
14:26
guidance, God's wisdom, wisdom brought to every single.
14:28
Wisdom brought to every single person who lives
14:30
in these countries that believe in and worship
14:32
Jesus Christ as God.
14:35
Not just leaders, all of us.
14:38
And even though some historians see it differently,
14:41
most, if not all of our founding fathers,
14:43
believed in God and look to him for
14:46
direction through what?
14:49
Faith, trust, and prayer.
14:52
Would you believe there are books out, publications
14:54
out that attempt to prove that our founding
14:56
fathers were atheists?
14:59
Now, where do they get that information from?
15:02
We call it fake news today.
15:05
We call it manufactured narratives today.
15:09
We call it progressive politics today.
15:12
Nothing new, folks.
15:14
Gone on for centuries.
15:15
Gone on for the 250 years that the
15:19
United States of America has been in existence.
15:23
Gone on for a thousand years, thousands of
15:25
years that Israel has been in existence.
15:29
The devil is alive and well on planet
15:30
Earth.
15:32
A preacher once said years ago, boy, was
15:35
he right.
15:37
But so is the Holy Spirit, alive and
15:40
well on planet Earth.
15:43
And you know how he is alive and
15:44
well?
15:45
Because he lives within you.
15:47
Sin also lives within us.
15:50
We were born as sinners.
15:51
Make no mistake about it.
15:53
But we can be delivered from that sin
15:55
because we have a deliverer.
15:57
And that happens to be Jesus.
15:59
All roads in life, liberty, and the pursuit
16:02
of happiness, folks, lit lead to Jesus Christ,
16:05
the Savior, the one who came and shed
16:08
his blood so that all of our sins
16:11
may be forgiven.
16:14
And yes, we need to repent individually.
16:19
And as we repent individually, we repent as
16:22
a nation.
16:24
And then therein lies the road, the pathway
16:27
to blessings.
16:31
Now, since the founding of our country, our
16:34
nation has upheld the principle in the Constitution
16:37
of the United States that Congress shall make
16:40
no law respecting an establishment of religion or
16:43
prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
16:46
I'm fine with that.
16:48
I'm fine with that.
16:49
The government should not be establishing a religion.
16:53
But that doesn't mean that we, the people
16:55
can't establish that religion.
16:58
It just don't have to become law.
17:01
But we could have what the law embedded,
17:04
burned, if you will, into our hearts, souls,
17:07
and spirits, and exercise that law.
17:12
And keep it away from the Constitution.
17:15
Because there could come a time, and we've
17:16
seen it happen, where there have been churches
17:18
of Satan springing up all over the place.
17:20
You want, you want uh the law to
17:23
say, well, you know, the country can establish
17:25
a national religion, and when the bad people
17:27
get into office, that's what they're gonna do.
17:30
We don't want that.
17:31
I don't need the law of God supported
17:35
by a political entity or supported by politicians,
17:38
because the law of God is burned in
17:42
my heart and supported by me.
17:45
That's where that counts and could be supported
17:47
by you.
17:50
That's the importance of repentance.
17:53
Person by person, household by household, neighborhood by
17:56
neighborhood, city by city, town by town, state
17:59
by state, right across America.
18:02
And there we are.
18:03
Blessed is the nation whose God is the
18:05
Lord.
18:07
Now, unfortunately, from the 1960s until now, our
18:10
nation has seen a decline in reverence for
18:13
God, and even worse, hatred, evil.
18:16
It's all over the place.
18:18
And sin running rampant.
18:20
They've taken a stronger hold in America for
18:22
far too long.
18:26
Every single day I turn my computer on,
18:28
I got stuff thrown in my face.
18:31
I mean, it's just unbelievable.
18:35
I've got to tell you, folks, the things
18:37
that are now on that internet, people beating
18:40
each other, stabbing each other, shootings, all right,
18:42
videos of cops pulling people over and getting
18:45
shot and killed.
18:47
I mean, it's unbelievable.
18:49
The fighting going on, the criminal acts that
18:51
we see now.
18:52
And on top of that, folks, if you
18:55
notice, and a lot of people don't like
18:58
a talk about this, but I will, the
19:00
assault, the assault on us with regard to
19:03
sex, sex acts, all right, trying to draw
19:05
people's attention away from what God wants us
19:08
to have our attention focused on to the
19:11
very thing Satan wants our attention on.
19:13
The distraction of what we should be thinking
19:16
about and what we should be focused on
19:19
is being determined by who?
19:23
By Satan.
19:25
Because you are allowing it to do that.
19:28
Every time I turn a computer on, you've
19:30
got women half naked walking down some street
19:33
in some porn uh area of a city.
19:36
You've got all kinds of crazy stuff going
19:38
on.
19:39
Uh, I gotta tell you, folks, that if
19:41
you notice most of it is women.
19:43
That doesn't make women bad.
19:45
That makes men bad.
19:46
Because men seem to be more apt to
19:50
commit those types of sins, right?
19:53
Whether that sin be adultery, fornication, and on
19:56
and on and on.
20:00
It seems like men are more apt to
20:01
commit those sins than women.
20:03
I don't know.
20:04
But because there's all kinds of videos out
20:07
there with women uh half naked tells me
20:09
a little bit of a story.
20:13
So you gotta do what I do, just
20:14
turn it off.
20:16
You know what?
20:17
You might think, well, let me just look
20:18
for a minute.
20:19
Well, there it is, the seeds have been
20:20
planted.
20:21
Then a minute becomes ten minutes, and then
20:24
ten minutes becomes thirty minutes.
20:27
It's addictive, folks.
20:28
It is addictive, and it is sinful.
20:32
Lust, lust is sinful.
20:35
None of us are perfect.
20:37
You I'm not saying you know you gotta
20:38
be perfect.
20:40
You slip, you fall, just pick yourself up
20:41
and say, Lord, help me.
20:43
Just keep me away from this stuff.
20:45
Because at the end of that journey, you're
20:48
not gonna just be looking at lustful pictures.
20:52
You may end up committing those acts.
20:54
Now, why do I say that?
20:56
I have friends that have fallen into that
20:58
trap.
20:59
Years ago, when I was in college, you
21:00
Years ago when I was in college, you
21:01
know what?
21:01
know what?
21:02
Single, young guy going out, doing all sorts
21:03
Single, young guy going out, doing all sorts
21:05
of things, meeting women here and there, and
21:05
of things, meeting women here and there, and
21:07
doing things as I look back.
21:07
doing things as I look back.
21:09
I'm lucky.
21:09
I'm lucky, I uh I shouldn't say I'm
21:10
I shouldn't say I'm lucky.
21:11
lucky, I'm just thanking God that he saved
21:12
I'm just thanking God that he saved me
21:13
me from that pit of hell.
21:14
from that pit of hell.
21:16
Because I wouldn't be talking with you right
21:16
Because I wouldn't be talking with you right
21:17
now.
21:17
now.
21:18
I turned my life around and said, you
21:18
I turned my life around and said, you
21:20
know what?
21:20
know what, this ain't no good.
21:21
This ain't no good.
21:22
There's got to be more to life than
21:22
There's gotta be more to life than doing
21:24
doing this kind of stuff.
21:24
this kind of stuff.
21:25
Turn my life around and he put me
21:25
Turn my life around and you put my
21:27
on a path of success.
21:27
path of success.
21:30
But path with problems.
21:32
Yep, path with temptation, all kinds of stuff.
21:35
Even now, you know, these things go on
21:36
in my life.
21:37
But because I now have accepted Jesus Christ
21:40
as my savior, my friend, my buddy, my
21:42
protector, my savior.
21:45
I am delivered from this stuff.
21:48
All of it.
21:49
All of it.
21:50
Am I tempted?
21:51
You bet.
21:52
Do I fall into that temptation?
21:54
Nope.
21:55
Not at all.
21:57
I just move on.
21:58
Move on.
22:00
And it's not only that.
22:02
You got people who are now, you know,
22:04
I mean, obsessed with money.
22:06
Money becomes their idol, obsessed with power.
22:10
All these things that go on in our
22:11
lives.
22:13
And so, you know, I've been involved in
22:14
politics where power and money and all this
22:16
stuff thrown in front of me.
22:18
Wow, I could be a millionaire.
22:20
Yeah.
22:20
On my way to hell.
22:22
On my way to hell.
22:24
I just want you to think about that,
22:25
folks.
22:26
Think about that because these are problems and
22:29
difficulties that our nation never faced years and
22:32
years ago because we didn't have the technology.
22:35
You know something?
22:36
I'm reading the Bible one day, and it
22:38
talks about Satan and some of the things
22:41
that he does to nations.
22:43
And I read a part where it said
22:45
he is the prince of the air.
22:47
Years ago.
22:48
Years ago I read that.
22:51
And I was wondering, what is the Prince
22:52
of the Air?
22:53
Now time went on, and I read it,
22:55
re-read it, rethought about it a couple of
22:57
weeks ago.
22:58
Well, I read this years ago.
23:00
Satan, the Prince of the Air.
23:02
The Prince of the Airwaves.
23:05
Think about that.
23:07
Didn't have the internet years ago.
23:09
Didn't have TV many years ago.
23:12
But now we got the airwaves cluttered with
23:15
every unimaginable thing, every unimaginable transmission.
23:19
So the prince of the airwaves.
23:22
That's how he comes to get us.
23:24
The internet, television, radio, filled, filled with sinful
23:28
stuff.
23:32
Being shot right into our brains, taking over
23:34
our heart, soul, and spirit.
23:36
And the only defensive weapon you have against
23:39
that is Jesus Christ.
23:41
Jesus Christ.
23:42
So when you think about our nation, where
23:45
we have been TV shows years ago, a
23:48
lot of kids can't enjoy.
23:51
A lot of them.
23:51
I remember watching Leave It to Beaver, Andy
23:53
Griffith or wholesome programs.
23:56
Even cartoons had messages.
23:58
Mr.
23:59
Ed, the talking horse.
24:00
A lot of you might be laughing at
24:02
that right now, but these were the things
24:03
we used to see day in and day
24:05
out, wholesome stories.
24:07
That brought us closer to mom and dad
24:09
and sisters and brothers and families.
24:11
And ultimately closer to God.
24:13
No more.
24:15
Gone.
24:16
So it's up to us.
24:17
It's up to you, and it's up to
24:18
me.
24:19
Blessed is the nation whose God is the
24:21
Lord.
24:23
We must keep that in mind.
24:24
And how are we going to make sure
24:26
our nation is blessed?
24:28
Again, focusing in on Christ as our Savior.
24:32
So it's time, my friends, to recognize that
24:34
to a great extent, we as a people
24:37
have pushed God away.
24:40
We have.
24:41
We gotta admit that.
24:42
The consequences, some would argue, resemble the judgments
24:44
that came upon Egypt, as I just shared
24:47
with you in the days of Moses.
24:50
So that's where we are, folks.
24:52
We are in a famine.
24:54
Bible says there'll be a famine in the
24:56
land.
24:58
Not a food or water, but a famine
25:00
of the word of God.
25:02
That's where we are.
25:03
So what are we going to do about
25:04
it?
25:05
There was a warning from the prophet Amos,
25:07
811, something we need to think about.
25:10
And that Prophet Amos said this.
25:15
Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord
25:17
God.
25:19
When I was sent when I will send
25:22
a famine on the land, not a famine
25:24
of bread or thirst for water, but a
25:26
famine of hearing the words of the Lord.
25:29
I've got to tell you, this warning was
25:32
given to Israel in the eighth century before
25:34
Christ.
25:37
As that nation began to drift and drift
25:41
and drift into moral decay and social injustice.
25:45
History is repeating itself here in the United
25:48
States of America.
25:51
Is it possible, my friends, that we in
25:54
America are seeing history repeat itself?
25:58
But this time around, it's not a warning
25:59
for Israel.
26:01
It is a warning for you and for
26:03
me.
26:05
A warning for the United States of America

28:48
Yes.
28:49
The number one place where bacteria, viruses, and
28:51
pollen enter the body is through the nose.
28:53
So the average person breathes over 23,000 times
28:55
a day.
28:57
That's 23,000 opportunities for bacteria, viruses, and irritants
28:59
to get into your nose and make you

sick.

Welcome to our broadcast today, ladies and gentlemen.
31:03
It's always a pleasure, always a pleasure being
31:06
given the opportunity to share with you some
31:08
of the uh points of interest, right?
31:11
Things of interest, I should say, that are
31:13
happening around our country and around the world.
31:16
And I gotta tell you, folks, uh one
31:18
thing we're beginning to see at an alarming
31:21
rate, and that is the criminal acts of
31:23
teenagers.
31:26
Teenagers all over the United States of America
31:29
seem to be forming criminal enterprises.
31:32
Now we used to look at them as
31:34
uh gangs, right?
31:35
We used to think, well, you know, there's
31:37
a gang here, there's a gang there, and
31:39
uh they rise up every once in a
31:41
while, they commit some sort of uh terrible
31:43
uh atrocity, they're arrested, they're put in jail,
31:45
they're released from jail, they go out and
31:47
do their thing again, and you know, the
31:49
vicious cycle of criminal activity.
31:51
Uh they're treated as kids, they're treated as
31:53
juveniles, they go to juvenile court, uh uh,
31:55
they go to juvenile court, they get a
31:57
uh lesser sentence than what they would get
32:00
if they were tried as adults.
32:02
You know, you know this whole story.
32:04
Uh and what have we seen happen as
32:06
a result of a criminal justice system that
32:09
treats uh real tough bad teenagers with kid
32:11
gloves.
32:14
We see them go out again on our
32:17
streets day in and day out, and literally
32:20
begin to take over our streets.
32:23
And we're beginning to see that trend rapidly
32:26
increase across the United States of America, not
32:29
in just large cities, but also in large
32:32
and small and medium-sized towns all across the
32:35
country.
32:38
And the uh news media is picking up
32:40
on a lot of this, as well as
32:43
a lot of city uh leaders in the
32:45
larger uh cities of our country, and now
32:47
smaller towns are beginning to realize that that
32:49
so-called they call it a phenomenon, all right.
32:52
They say this phenomenon and the growth of
32:55
uh teen violence uh has to be addressed.
32:58
Well, they should have figured that out years
32:59
ago.
33:01
All right, it was a growing trend.
33:03
We warned, meaning we in law enforcement warned
33:06
the uh governments from uh small towns to
33:09
large cities that uh the longer you wait
33:13
to take the law and apply it towards
33:16
juveniles as you apply it towards adults, you're
33:19
gonna see a growth in the uh crime
33:23
rates among the juvenile population.
33:26
And that's what's happening right now.
33:28
So, right now, folks, I could tell you
33:31
that there has been a trend going on
33:34
across our country where criminal teens are controlling
33:37
our cities.
33:40
They're controlling our cities, they're controlling many of
33:42
the streets in our cities.
33:44
So there's a new kind of crime wave
33:46
sweeping across our country.
33:47
And if you live in a city where
33:49
this has happened, you know what I'm talking
33:50
about.
33:52
If you live in a small town where
33:54
this has happened, you know what I'm talking
33:55
about.
33:57
And if you've lived in a city or
33:59
town where this has not happened, wait.
34:02
It's coming your way.
34:04
It'll reach a neighborhood near you.
34:07
Now, in this wave, I'm gonna call it
34:10
a crime wave because it is picking traction,
34:12
picking up traction all across the country.
34:15
Hundreds of teens, not dozens, we're talking hundreds
34:18
of teens, have taken over streets in major
34:21
cities, and they're forcing businesses to close, they're
34:24
disrupting traffic, and they're upending the lives of
34:27
thousands of law abiding citizens.
34:30
Now, how do they get together?
34:31
How do they organize?
34:33
Well, they don't pick up the phone and
34:34
say, hey, you know what?
34:35
Let's go down, uh let's go downtown Detroit
34:37
or downtown uh Chicago and let's uh close
34:40
down a street.
34:42
Uh maybe let's uh break into a couple
34:44
of stores and you know, we'll get together.
34:46
Let's meet at so-and-so park.
34:47
No, they don't do that now, folks.
34:49
They've got the internet, they've got the internet,
34:52
they're uh able to tell thousands of instruct
34:54
thousands of teens to go to a location,
34:57
and then they get together as what they
35:00
Get together as what they call a flash
35:00
call a flash mob, meaning they gather in
35:02
mob, meaning they gather in certain areas of
35:03
certain areas of a city.
35:04
a city.
35:06
There's some signals that go out over the
35:06
There's some signals that go out over the
35:08
uh mainstream, I'm sorry, over the uh internet,
35:08
uh mainstream, I'm sorry, over the uh internet,
35:11
and then boom, they're into action.
35:11
and then boom, they're into action.
35:14
Hundreds is gonna be growing into thousands.
35:14
Hundreds is going to be growing into thousands.
35:18
Now, recently, downtown Detroit, you all know where
35:18
Now, recently, downtown Detroit, you all know where
35:20
Detroit is, right?
35:20
Detroit is, right?
35:22
Michigan, down Detroit, they became one of the
35:22
Michigan, down Detroit, they became one of the
35:24
largest targets of what is now called a
35:25
largest targets of what is now called a
35:27
teen tech.
35:27
teen takeover.
35:30
See, now they have a name.
35:32
These criminal enterprises, right?
35:34
I opened up with saying criminal enterprises.
35:37
These are.
35:38
These are small enterprises.
35:39
Well, now I should say large ones, right?
35:41
Large criminal enterprises that uh come together and
35:44
they create these flash mobs, they meet at
35:47
one location, and they give each other some
35:50
sort of signal through communicating via the internet,
35:53
and boom, right into action.
35:56
It becomes a teen takeover.
35:58
So what are they taking over?
35:59
Well, they're taking over streets, they're taking over
36:03
cities, they're taking over neighborhoods, they're taking over
36:06
stores, they're taking over your lives, folks, your
36:09
lives, my life, your life, everybody's life.
36:12
I mean, my goodness.
36:14
We've seen some of this on the news
36:16
media in Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, New York.
36:20
They're taking over the streets, blocking traffic, closing
36:23
down bridges, closing down business districts.
36:26
And what are the police doing?
36:28
The cops want to take care of it.
36:30
They want to arrest them.
36:31
They want to lock them up, they want
36:32
to put them in jail.
36:34
They want to prosecute them.
36:35
No, no, no, you won't do that, says
36:37
some of these politicians that are running these
36:38
cities.
36:40
We've got to bring in the mental health
36:42
workers.
36:43
We got to bring in the clinicians that
36:46
know how to dig way deep into the
36:49
minds of these young people who are frankly
36:51
should be treated as young people.
36:54
They don't know better.
36:56
They grew up in tough times.
36:58
Every single imaginable excuse to allow these lunatics,
37:01
that's what they are.
37:04
They're lunatics to run throughout our streets, our
37:08
neighborhoods, and bring destruction to our cities and
37:11
our towns and on a mass mass uh
37:15
uh level, bring destruction to this country.
37:18
The teen takeover in downtown Detroit, folks, listen
37:22
to this, was organized by teenagers, right?
37:25
There's not, and there's not any big, you
37:28
know, intellectual criminal enterprise involved here.
37:31
Just a bunch of teenagers that uh are
37:34
frankly out of their minds, all right, that
37:36
have seen that they're not gonna get punished.
37:39
And so they're gonna go out, and in
37:41
their view, this is fun.
37:43
Breaking into stores, looting stores, uh slapping people
37:46
around, uh jumping up on cars, blocking traffic,
37:48
defying uh the law right in front of
37:51
the police.
37:54
We've got evidence of that, folks.
37:56
Uh, this is fun to them these days.
37:58
And they get away with it.
37:59
So anyway, let's get back to Detroit, Michigan.
38:03
So the teen takeover in downtown Detroit was
38:07
organized one day, one day, after city officials
38:11
and youth organizers urged the creation of what
38:16
they call safer spaces for adolescents, safer spaces
38:20
for teenagers, highlighting, listen to this, growing concerns
38:25
about a nationwide rise in youth related disturbances.
38:29
These are the teen takeovers.
38:32
So here at the city officials in Detroit,
38:35
they get together with what they call youth
38:37
organizers.
38:39
These are people who uh are whose intentions
38:41
are probably good.
38:43
They want to get these kids off the
38:45
streets and do something uh that will point
38:47
them into the direction of being constructive, not
38:49
destructive.
38:51
But that's nothing new, right?
38:52
Folks, you heard me on many of my
38:55
broadcasts talk about the solution today's problems are
38:57
committee meetings.
39:00
The solution to today and tomorrow's uh challenges
39:03
that we are facing are committee meetings.
39:06
We'll meet with governing body officials, who by
39:08
the way created the problems.
39:10
Uh then we'll meet with the pastors and
39:13
we'll meet with the uh religious organizations, and
39:16
uh then we'll meet with the business people.
39:18
And hey, you know what?
39:20
We'll even meet with the teenagers themselves.
39:22
But you see, when they meet with the
39:24
teenagers themselves, uh they no longer, meaning the
39:26
uh organizers of these uh groups that are
39:29
trying to solve the problems, they're no longer
39:31
in control.
39:33
The teens not only take over the streets,
39:35
they take over the meetings.
39:37
They take over all of these meetings and
39:39
these uh committees that uh government agencies are
39:41
trying to uh create in order to solve
39:43
a problem that in my view is pretty
39:45
easy to solve.
39:48
It's called common sense.
39:49
Commit a crime, you do the time.
39:51
Simple as that.
39:52
Let the police do what they were trained
39:54
to do, protect them to serve.
39:56
But we got those people out there who
39:59
are saying, oh no, we can't allow that
40:01
uh because uh the police are too tough.
40:04
The kids fear the police, they don't respect
40:05
the police.
40:06
Well, why don't why do you why do
40:08
you think they don't respect the police?
40:10
It's because you've told them not to respect
40:11
the police.
40:12
You, who are you, you're asking me?
40:14
You, you, Mr.
40:15
and Mrs.
40:16
elected official, you, not all of you, but
40:19
uh far too many of you, obviously.
40:22
So the teens involved in this disturbance, uh,
40:25
you know, over there in Detroit and in
40:28
other areas of the country, they are disregarding
40:30
any efforts, and in this case in Detroit's
40:33
uh the Safer Spaces Initiative.
40:36
They don't want a safe space.
40:38
They want a fun space.
40:40
They want a space where they're able to
40:42
do what they want to do when they
40:44
want to do it without any consequences.
40:47
So you've given them the space, my friends,
40:49
who are trying to solve these problems through
40:51
your committee meetings and and your organized uh
40:54
efforts, which again I commend you for doing
40:56
it, but it isn't working.
40:59
What's the definition of insanity, folks?
41:02
Doing the same thing over and over and
41:04
over again and not getting the uh outcome
41:06
that you're looking for, not getting the results
41:07
you want.
41:10
This is not only unique to Detroit, this
41:12
is all over the country.
41:14
I call it, well, people have called them
41:17
the goodie, the goody good shoes, something like
41:19
that, meaning, you know, kind of a uh
41:21
saying that's these are the people that like
41:23
to do good things, which is good, uh,
41:26
but they try to do good things by
41:28
not doing it in a good way.
41:30
All right.
41:31
To me, it is a bad way to
41:34
have a constant drumbeat of committee meetings of
41:37
commissions being put together to study the cause
41:40
of uh criminal acts like teen takeovers, all
41:43
right?
41:47
So these are the goody good shoes, all
41:48
right?
41:49
That's all they do is walk around in
41:51
their shoes uh in circles.
41:53
All right, really, folks.
41:55
I don't know, I'm kind of hard, but
41:56
listen, I like to tell it like it
41:58
is and uh be as transparent as I
41:59
could.
42:00
Transparent as I could, they're walking around in
42:01
They're walking around in circles.
42:01
circles.
42:02
And but like I said, they that their
42:03
But like I said, they that their intentions
42:04
intentions are good, but by goodness, where are
42:04
are good, but by goodness, where are you
42:06
you going with this?
42:06
going with this?
42:08
So when we see this criminal phenomenon, as
42:08
So when we see this criminal phenomenon, as
42:11
they call it, it's not a phenomenon.
42:11
they call it, it's not a phenomenon.
42:14
I've seen it grow for years.
42:14
I've seen it grow grow for years.
42:16
Uh they they they start with these committee
42:16
Uh uh, they they they start with these
42:18
meetings, these town hall meetings, these city hall
42:18
committee meetings, these town hall meetings, these city
42:21
meetings, the mayors and the politicians get to
42:21
hall meetings, the mayors and the politicians get
42:23
the microphone, we're gonna do something about this,
42:23
to the microphone, we're gonna do something about
42:25
this, something about that.
42:25
something about that.
42:28
Nothing has
42:28
Nothing has succeeded.
42:31
The only thing that succeeds when crimes are
42:33
being committed is to commit the criminals to
42:36
prison.
42:38
Oh, but they're teenagers, they're 13, 14 years
42:40
old.
42:42
You're gonna put them in jail.
42:43
You're darn right I am.
42:45
You're darn right we're gonna put them in
42:47
jail for goodness sakes.
42:49
And by the way, folks, I would like
42:50
to add this.
42:53
Hmm.
42:54
Gonna be a little controversial when I'm about
42:56
to say, but I'm gonna say it.
42:58
How about putting their parents in jail?
43:01
How about making their parents accountable for the
43:03
actions of their children?
43:06
Where do they learn prejudice?
43:09
Racism, where do they learn uh to defy
43:10
the police?
43:12
Where do they learn to go out and
43:14
commit these criminal acts?
43:16
Hmm?
43:17
Where do they learn this?
43:18
Oh, there'll be people saying, well, you know,
43:20
come on, uh, parents don't teach their kids
43:22
to do these things.
43:24
The kids just go out and do them.
43:26
And the parents say it's okay, not by
43:28
saying, hey, it's okay, Johnny to break into
43:31
the store, but by saying nothing to Johnny,
43:33
nothing at all to Johnny or to Susie
43:36
or whatever the child's name is when they
43:39
go out and commit these acts.
43:41
Yeah.
43:42
And worse than that, our government officials do
43:45
the same thing.
43:48
Say nothing and do nothing to them, other
43:51
than say, come, come, Johnny, come, Susie, let's
43:53
sit down and talk.
43:56
There's a couch over there.
43:57
Lay down on the couch.
43:59
Mr.
44:00
Psychologist, uh, Mrs.
44:02
Sociologist, Mr.
44:04
and Mrs.
44:04
Therapists are going to come along and they're
44:06
going to have a little talk.
44:07
Or just lay down, relax, take it easy.
44:09
Can I get you anything?
44:11
You want me to go out and get
44:12
you a hamburger?
44:13
Is there anything I can do for you?
44:15
And you know what?
44:16
A kid is laughing all the way back
44:18
out onto the streets to commit the same
44:19
crimes.
44:21
There are room, there is room, and there
44:24
are places for psychologists and sociologists for mental
44:26
health uh therapists.
44:29
I believe in all that.
44:31
So that's good.
44:31
People need people to talk to.
44:33
And at times they need professionals to talk
44:34
to.
44:36
Now I will say this.
44:37
Sometimes the professionals need somebody to talk to,
44:39
also.
44:41
But that's besides the point.
44:42
Fact of the matter is, again, I want
44:45
you right now, just in your mind, in
44:47
your mind, think about people walking in circles,
44:49
walking in circles.
44:52
Not for years, but but for decades, walking
44:54
in circles.
44:57
I heard the same song and dance in
44:59
the 70s, not at this level where they're
45:01
taking over the streets.
45:04
A lot of unruly kids way back in
45:05
the 70s and all kinds of crazy stuff
45:07
in the 80s and in the 90s, but
45:09
this is really bad.
45:11
Really serious.
45:12
Business are getting closed down.
45:14
People are losing their livelihoods over this.
45:16
And I've got to tell you else something
45:17
else, folks.
45:19
Uh doesn't anybody in government uh uh looking
45:21
to solve these problems realize that people could
45:23
die as a result of these teen street
45:26
takeovers?
45:29
Oh, they're not out there killing anybody.
45:31
Well, I would say this.
45:33
When an individual has a heart attack and
45:34
they're in an ambulance and they can't get
45:36
to the hospital because some of these maniacs
45:38
are out on the street blocking traffic, they're
45:40
not committing murder.
45:43
Hmm.
45:43
Think about that one, folks.
45:45
But you see, the politicians, they don't think
45:47
about this.
45:49
What they think about is, hmm, what um
45:51
what are the poll numbers in that district
45:54
where the streets are being blocked?
45:56
Oh, yeah, yeah, I'll tell you what, folks.
45:59
You know what?
46:00
A lot of political people, uh, they don't
46:01
like me.
46:04
Okay, they don't like this.
46:06
They don't like this broadcast too bad, you
46:08
know.
46:10
Come on, too bad.
46:11
And then they're a lot that like what
46:13
we're saying, because they know it's the truth.
46:16
I'll tell you uh other things, folks.
46:18
I'd love to get some of them on
46:19
my broadcast.
46:20
Some of who?
46:21
Some of these liberals, these progressives, some of
46:24
these people walking in circles.
46:26
You know, how about I'd like to go
46:28
to their, you know, where they're walking in
46:30
circles and kind of maybe put a little
46:31
pathway in the in the circle and say,
46:33
hey, look, come on over here to America
46:35
Out Loud News.
46:37
Let's sit down and let's have a conversation
46:39
about what?
46:42
About you, about why you allowed these things
46:44
to happen.
46:46
They will squirm, they will worm, they will
46:47
get fiddledy.
46:49
They're gonna immediately run where?
46:52
You ready, folks?
46:53
They're gonna run to their safe space.
46:55
Yeah, politicians like that need a safe space.
46:59
You know, I'm kind of going off the
47:00
off the rails myself here.
47:02
I'm supposed to be talking about uh the
47:04
teen um the teen takeovers in our streets,
47:06
but I got to the root cause of
47:08
it, folks, didn't I?
47:10
Yep.
47:11
See, I don't walk in circles.
47:13
Sometimes I don't know where I'm walking, but
47:14
when I get there, you know what?
47:16
We've accomplished something.
47:18
We're not a committee meeting.
47:20
Okay, folks, you know what?
47:21
It's okay to have some fun.
47:23
All right.
47:23
This is radio, all right.
47:25
You're in your car right now.
47:27
Maybe you're at home, you're somewhere, maybe at
47:28
a tough day.
47:29
Well, I hope I lightened it up a
47:30
little bit.
47:32
Boy, I'll tell you, what a world, what
47:34
a thing we have to do today, but
47:35
thank God for America Out Loud.
47:37
News, because uh we're out there, we're out
47:40
there getting this message out.
47:42
And uh I'll tell you what, I I
47:44
know no other network that does what this
47:45
network does.
47:47
I mean, this is I mean, we do
47:49
it from a level where we're not mean
47:50
spirited or anything like that.
47:53
We just tell the truth, and we try
47:55
to present common sense to problems that need
47:58
to be addressed, that have been addressed for
48:01
not years but decades by those who've committed
48:04
the problems, who've created the problems.
48:07
So what's wrong with that?
48:09
Nothing at all.
48:11
But you know what?
48:12
The typical, typical response, which is political more
48:16
so than anything else, is applying a social
48:20
remedy to what is fundamentally a criminal problem.
48:24
And like I've said, a few decades ago,
48:25
the reaction likely would have been very, very
48:27
different.
48:29
Most teens would not have considered behavior like
48:30
this.
48:32
Because parents, here we go again, parents, not
48:36
politicians and social workers, enforced what?
48:40
You ready for this, folks?
48:41
Enforced accountability.
48:44
That was that.
48:46
I have a confession to make.
48:48
Yep, I was a criminal when I was
48:50
a little kid.
48:51
Oh, yes, I was.
48:53
I went into a store, candy store, with
48:56
a friend of mine, and we decided, we
49:00
Decided, all right, to uh steal some gum.
49:00
decided, all right, to uh steal some gum.
49:04
Yep.
49:04
Yep.
49:05
So we plotted this uh criminal act, and
49:05
So we plotted this uh criminal act, and
49:08
uh the friend I was with decided to
49:08
uh the friend I was with decided to
49:10
be the lookout, and I would be the
49:10
be the lookout, and I would be the
49:13
one taking the gum off the shelf.
49:13
one taking the gum off the shelf.
49:16
So he goes to the front door of
49:16
So he goes to the front door of
49:18
the store, and he's the lookout.
49:18
the store, and he's the lookout.
49:20
Little did I know, not only did he
49:20
Little did I know, not only did he
49:22
look out, but he got out.
49:22
look out, but he got out.
49:24
So I'm thinking he's at the front door
49:24
So I'm thinking he's at the front door,
49:26
looking out, making sure nobody's coming in and
49:26
looking out, making sure nobody's coming in and
49:28
kind of looking in the aisle.
49:28
kind of looking in the aisles from that
49:31
front door vantage point, and there it is.
49:33
I grab a piece of gum, a little
49:36
pack of gum, stick it in my pocket.
49:39
Suddenly, as I'm looking around, I see this
49:41
mirror with a set of eyes looking right
49:44
at me from through the mirror.
49:47
I start to run towards the front door,
49:48
yelling towards my friend.
49:50
He's nowhere to be found.
49:52
The owner of the store grabs me.
49:56
He grabs me and takes me into this
49:57
back room.
49:59
And the owner of the store, haven't I
50:02
been a friend of my father's?
50:04
Oh, oh, boy.
50:06
Anyway, he calls the police.
50:10
The police.
50:12
Now, I'm kind of shaking in my pants
50:14
because now the cops are involved.
50:16
So this big cop comes in and um
50:18
he asks me questions, and I said, Look,
50:20
I just take me home.
50:23
It's just a piece of gum.
50:24
What's the big deal?
50:24
What's the big deal, son?
50:26
You know, folks, I think I was 13,
50:28
maybe 12 or 13 years old.
50:29
So anyway, uh the cop says, You come
50:32
with me.
50:34
I said, I want to go home.
50:35
I don't want to come at you.
50:36
The cop grabs me by my ear, right?
50:38
By ear and pulls it.
50:40
It hurt.
50:41
So anyway, no handcuffs or nothing then, grabs
50:43
me by the ear, puts me in the
50:45
backseat of his police car, takes me home.
50:47
I go home.
50:49
All right, so there is my mother and
50:51
my father, and the police officer explained to
50:53
my father what I did.
50:56
And you know what I did?
50:57
I started a complaint about the cop grabbing
50:59
my ear.
51:01
And my father looks at the cop and
51:02
says, Did you grab his ear?
51:04
And the officer said, Yes, I did, Mr.
51:06
Rogers.
51:07
And my father says, What ear did you
51:08
grab?
51:09
And the cop says, his right ear.
51:12
At that point, my father says, Officer, next
51:14
time, do this.
51:16
Grab both ears.
51:17
I gotta tell you, my father almost lifted
51:19
me off the ground, grabbing my ears, right?
51:22
Oh, man, I'll tell you.
51:23
And into the house I went, punished I
51:27
got, and that ended my criminal career.
51:31
That was it, folks.
51:33
Never even thought of shoplifting again.
51:36
Why?
51:37
Because dad and mom held me accountable.
51:41
And they made sure from that point on,
51:44
I would never again commit such a criminal
51:46
act, or I would end I would always
51:49
respect the police.
51:52
That's it.
51:52
No beatings, none of this stuff like that.
51:55
But my dad and my mother gave me
51:57
the message.
51:58
You do that today, folks, to your kid.
52:00
You've got Difus, Division of Youth and Family
52:03
Services involved, you got child protective services involved,
52:05
you've got 10, 15 lawyers involved.
52:08
You have the kid hiring some civil rights
52:09
group.
52:11
I mean, on and on and on and
52:11
on.
52:12
You know, that's why we are where we
52:13
are today.
52:14
Now, why again is this happening like this
52:16
today?
52:18
Because of politicians, right?
52:21
Because of people in office, who, by the
52:24
way, some of us electoral office rather be
52:27
more interested in the uh political climate, the
52:30
polls instead of public safety.
52:33
What do you think of that?
52:34
Hmm.
52:35
Anyway, so the teens have not only, when
52:37
I think about it, they've not only taken
52:39
over the streets, they've taken over the entire
52:42
criminal justice system.
52:44
They've taken over their families.
52:46
They've taken everything over.
52:48
And they consider that fun.
52:50
Not too much fun.
52:51
We got to turn the tide, folks.
52:52
We got to turn the tides.
52:54
So anyway, uh, you got hundreds of kids
52:56
now taking over the streets in Detroit.
52:58
Uh they're posting this stuff live on the
53:01
internet, drawing more teens to the area.
53:04
So finally, finally the Detroit police arrive.
53:08
And they were outnumbered.
53:10
And they did the best they could to
53:12
regain control of downtown Detroit.
53:15
There were a lot of reports of assaults,
53:17
cars being smashed, businesses being smashed up, and
53:20
even at one point, gunfire.
53:23
Yep.
53:24
There are no reports of a six, I'm
53:26
sorry, of a significant number of teens that
53:28
have been arrested.
53:30
I'm sure some of them have been detained,
53:32
but none arrested and sent to jail, sent
53:34
to a judge.
53:37
I guess they were just detained and uh
53:40
maybe uh uh some way somehow released.
53:44
I mean, there were no really no reports
53:47
of anybody being taken into custody and arrested.
53:50
So if they were later later released, they
53:52
were probably right back on those streets.
53:55
Now, there have been similar teen takeovers that
53:57
have been reported in Atlanta, Chicago, and Washington,
53:59
D.C.
54:02
Well, how do I know that?
54:04
Because when uh some of the political people
54:06
in Detroit were asked by the press why
54:09
this is happening in Detroit, they pivoted.
54:11
They pivoted, and they began to say, hey,
54:13
look, it's not happening just here.
54:15
It's happening in Chicago, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C.,
54:19
and other cities around the country.
54:22
So they're telling the press, don't worry about
54:24
Detroit.
54:25
It's not just here, but and it's not
54:27
an isolated problem.
54:29
It's all over the country.
54:30
That's the answer of politicians.
54:31
Hey, don't look at us.
54:32
Look at those other cities.
54:33
They got the same problem.
54:35
You know, uh and the police have said,
54:37
look at these events, these team takeovers, they
54:39
do function like flash mobs.
54:42
There's a whole new generation.
54:43
And they're often folks, overwhelming officers, and they
54:45
turn violent.
54:47
So the trend is spreading across the country
54:50
and even overseas.
54:52
So it's not unique to the United States.
54:55
They're taking over the world, folks.
54:57
Teenagers taking over the world.
55:00
And now they want, they, meaning there are
55:01
liberals and progressives in this country that want
55:03
to give them the right to vote.
55:05
Oh my goodness, yeah.
55:07
They want to bring the age to vote
55:10
from uh 18 down to 12.
55:15
Some people are actually talking about that.
55:18
Actually talking about that.
55:20
Now, in Chicago, teens ran through the streets
55:23
and climbed under parked cars.
55:25
Some of those cars were police cars near
55:26
Tampa, Florida.
55:27
Deputies had a rush in and break up
55:29
fights as they flooded local businesses.
55:31
Jacksonville, Florida, they actually uh fought each other
55:34
in front of law enforcement, and in some
55:37
cases fought the cops.
55:40
So as all these cities debate how to
55:43
respond to these gatherings, community groups are oppressing
55:46
and come uh uh what they call a
55:49
competing narrative, one that could shape whether officials
55:52
act decisively or continue to hesitate.
55:56
And you know what that means, folks?
55:57
They're still continuing to debate how they're gonna
55:59
solve these problems.
56:00
They're going to solve these problems.
56:01
They still continue to walk in a circle.
56:01
They still continue to walk in a circle.
56:05
Round and round they go.
56:05
Round and round they go, wherever it stops.
56:07
Wherever it stops, nobody knows.
56:09
Nobody knows.
56:10
Okay, folks.
56:10
Okay, folks, uh, as far as I'm concerned,
56:11
Uh as far as I'm concerned, it's time
56:13
it's time to connect these teens with the
56:13
to connect these teens with the criminal justice
56:15
criminal justice system and maybe even introduce their
56:15
system and maybe even introduce their parents to
56:17
parents to some judges.
56:17
some judges.
56:19
What do you think of that?
56:19
What do you think of that?
56:20
Proverbs 22 6.
56:20
Proverbs 22 6 train up a child in
56:22
Train up a child in the way he
56:23
the way he should go.
56:24
should go.
56:26
Even when he is old, he will not
56:26
Even when he is old, he will not
56:27
depart from it.
56:28
depart from it.
56:30
That's what my mom and dad did, and
56:32
I did not depart from the way they
56:34
brought me up to be a citizen that
56:37
contributes to the United States of America, to
56:39
the future of our country.
56:42
One way you do that, you stay out
56:43
of trouble.
56:45
All right, folks, God bless you and God
56:47
bless America.
