• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I promised you a little Artemis update every single day
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of this mission. We'll certainly get to that. Apparently they're
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: in the Moon's gravitational sphere of influence. It means they're
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: whipping around the Moon. So that's great stuff. We'll get
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: into that, as well as an amazing Easter message from
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: those astronauts. I said it before, I think on Friday,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: are these the four perfect astronauts for this mission? They're
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: like perfect, every single one of them. Everything they say
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and do. It's still gonna fix that toilet though. But
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: we're going, of course, going to get into the incredible,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: incredible pilot two pilot mission rescue mission that they enacted
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: in Iran, because it was just amazing and the whole
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: world you know about this, It was incredible. And I'll
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: wrap it up with this. This kind of ties into
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the Easter and that Easter message from the Apollo astronaut,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the Apollo Artemis astronauts, if you had on your Bingo card.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: CNN quoting a story from the New York Times about
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a spiritual revival among college kids, we're all a lot better.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I did not see that coming, but it's the God's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: honest truth. They actually talked about it this weekend. We'll
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: get to all that. Thanks for being with me. I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: appreciate you. Wicked Radio live stream on ex and YouTube
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and Facebook, and then the replay audio podcast wherever you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: like to get those shortly thereafter. Let's talk about the mission,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: actually the missions. Now you knew late into the weekend
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: we were all following this. A couple of days ago,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: we had a down F fifteen plane in Iran, rescued
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the pilot. Apparently the more even more daring rescue mission
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: was of the weapons officer that was on there. Fox
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: News has all the details. This is a good wrap
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: up of exactly what they got done. The whole world
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: should know it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: SOWS can report that on Saturday morning, the CIA was
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: able to locate and confirm this US service member and
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: a mountain ridge south of the city of East Fahan,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and that is when the appropriate calls were made to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: relevant parties, including the Secretary of War, the Joint Chiefs Chairman,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and the President himself, who ultimately ordered this operation. And
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: within twelve hours, we can report there were US special
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: forces on the ground inside of Iran rescuing this US
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: service member.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: How did he get there? How did he do it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The US service member, this is the weapon specialist apparently,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: who's also a colonel, ejected from the plane, had to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: run up a hill and hid in a mountain until
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: special sent out a beacon until forces could rescue him.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Just absolutely alied on all of his memory and all
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of his skills and all of his training. That got
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it done. And they got it done. What's even more awesome,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: apparently it's coming out just this morning that the CIA
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: sent out a dummy piece of information to fool the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Iranians saying we had already rescued both of them when
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: we hadn't. And yeah, you probably saw the overhead footage
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: too of all the Iranian guard, all the Islamist regime
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: people that tried to go up and kill and embarrass
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and God knows what to do to our second airmen.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: They were eliminated during the whole thing. This was an
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: incredible operation, and I think it's important that everybody understands
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: how incredible this was because just let you guess that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you knew exactly what would happen, exactly because of C
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: one thirty dropping off, the rescuers got stuck in the sand,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and I guess a couple of little bird planes. They
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: got stuck there. We had to blow them up so
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the Iranians don't have them. So oh, that sent the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: left wingers into a frenzy. We wasted one hundred and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: twenty million dollars for what. I can't what what do
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you mean for what? There's no price you can put
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on American service members' lives. Yeah we did, and I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: would bet you dollars to freaking donuts. These same people
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: weren't complaining at all. When you know who left ninety
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: billion dollars worth of military equipment in Afghanistan for that
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: horrific pullout plan. Yeah, same people. But this is significant.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Don't downplay this Jay Johnson. Every once in a while
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you see this guy pop up on the Sunday talk shows.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It's a smart guy, happened to be Obama's DHS secretary.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: It's very significant. When this guy says what he's about
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to say here you'll hear in the clip, and he's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: exactly right. This message should and it is get out
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to everybody. This is Jay Johnson, an Obama guy talking
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: about this mission.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: This is important, this operation for the first pilot and
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: this second pilot so remarkable. Exercise demonstration of US military
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: courage technology power. I would encourage the President and the
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Secretary of Defense, consistent with operational security, share as much
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: of that with the American public so that the American
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: public can appreciate what goes into this kind of operation
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: is more complicated than the bin laden operation. For example, Wow,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Sure any of that something that's saying something, all right?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: On NBC's Sunday talk show, Jay Johnson, the Obama guy,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and even Kristin Welker saying, wow, that's saying something. Now.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: He made a point theater I thought was great, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: apparently it's happening. President Trump reaching out to everybody telling
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the story because this was in don't let anybody fool you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Anybody well with the cost of the planes, Who the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: hell cares? We got these pilots back. This is an
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: American success story we should all be aware of and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: we should be telling for ye. In fact, he's doing it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: President Trump apparently reportedly reached out to and texted Kristen
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Welker you heard there at the end of the clip
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: personally and texted her the details of the story. I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: hope he did that to every single major news anchor
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and every talking hit television head that's out there to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: get this story out because it's that important and it's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that good. But he was also sending out some other messages.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You had to get to this one.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Here's what they're calling mean tweets are back, even though
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: it's not a tweet. They're not tweets anymore, their posts
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: because Elon of course bought Twitter and turned it into X.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But you all saw this. You have to self edit
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: on this one. And it's all about tomorrow. Now this
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: on the heels of the American Rescue mission, President Trump
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: writes a truth social and then, of course on X
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: with an American flag, Tuesday will be powerplant Day and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: bridge Day all wrapped up into one. In Iran, there
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: will be nothing like it. Three exclamation points after that one.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Open the bleeping straight, you crazy bastards. So you're be
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: living in hell. Just watch Praise be to Allah. Now
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it's a real post. It's real. He did it. But
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: he does it for a reason. Everybody's saying, oh, that's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: just not presidential, that's just not well, you know what, Okay,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I'll take your mindset on it. Maybe it's not presidential,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it's not presidential for what you've known presidents to be
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: for decades, how many just under fifty years, we put
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: up with this regime an entire the fear that they
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: had for one hundred years prior to that that an
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Islamist regime would actually take control of an entire government,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and lo and behold, then they got nukes, are the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: potential to have nukes. This is something that American presidents,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: what we used to call presidential, wouldn't undertake before love
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: or hate Trump and how he talks and things like
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: that and things that seem unhinged. He does it for
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a reason, and he's telling in his words, they're crazy
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: bastards now in judge of the Iranian regime. He's telling
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: them directly, you're done for You're absolutely completely done, in
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a language that's insults to them and clear to understand.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: He's not tolerating this anymore. And tomorrow's the day, apparently,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: so we shall see. I think that regime is done.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: This could be the most important, This could be the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: most important thing for your kid's future, your grandkid's future,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: their grandkid's future, to get rid of this regime that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: has been creating terror throughout the world. Including in the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: US for close to fifty years. But if you're more
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: upset about that kind of language in a social media post,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: maybe ought to maybe ought to figure out the priorities.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe just maybe, because trust me on this one, we
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: know about this guy. He does it for a reason,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: A very specific reason, all right, was he I hope
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you had a wonderful Easter and maybe your Jewish maybe
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a celebrated Passover and all that good stuff whatever that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: whatever your Holy week was, I hopa was amazing. I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: hope you spent time with friends and family and loved
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: ones and all that good stuff. There was an amazing
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Easter message from the Artemis crew, one specific guy, uh
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: astronaut Glover in particular. And I'm telling you this just
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: goes right along with what we've been saying. Is this
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the perfect crew or what? Here's his message on Easter
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: that they relate to the world completely you know, prompted
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: by a reporter's question through the satellite link, but completely unscripted.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: This is what he said. I think the takeaway here
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: is this is how I took it. Anyway. We love
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: these space missions and going to the Moon and going
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to Mars and beyond. After that because we're natural explorers.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's about understanding what's out there. It's also
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: about understanding us and looking at Earth and perspective. Here's
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: what he said.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: I'm glad you brought that up, though. I think these
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: observances are important, and as we are so far from
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: Earth and looking back at you know, the beauty of creation.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: I think the for me, one of the really important
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: personal perspectives that I have up here is I can
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: really see Earth as one thing. And you know, when
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: I read the Bible and I look at all of
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: the amazing things that were done for us who were created,
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: it's you. You have this amazing place, this spaceship. You
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: guys are talking to us because we're in a spaceship
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: really far from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Earth that was created to give us a place to
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: live in the universe and the cosmos. Think maybe the
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: distance we are from you makes you think what we're
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: doing is special, But we're the same distance from you,
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: And I'm trying to tell you, just trust me, you
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: are special. In all of this emptiness. This is a
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: You have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: to exist together. I think as we go into Easter Sunday,
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: thinking about you know, all the cultures all around the world,
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: whether you celebrated or not, whether you believe in God
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: or not, this is an opportunity for us to remember
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: where we are, who we are, and that we are
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: the same thing, and that we got to get through
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: this together.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: All right. That guy's incredible. That should be That entire
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: thing should be transcribed and written on a statue on
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a stone somewhere when they land. I mean, that's like incredible.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: That should be at That should be at the Kennedy
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Space Center, at the Houston Space Center, at SpaceX headquarters,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. He just said it all right there.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It's about us. It's about looking at us as an
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: individual spaceship and being able to from space look at
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it down in humanity. Haven't you done that? On a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: flight you're flying over like the Grand Canyon or something,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: You're like, wow, you see it in this perspective from
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a bird's eye view. What an incredible place. That was beautiful.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: But that was like the perfect Easter message. I love
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I love this crew. Where are they now? Let's get
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: an update. Where's our Artemis crew? Well, apparently they're in
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Sir Isaac Newton's hands. Now. Didn't they say that in
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Apolo thirteen? Wasn't that what a Tom Hanks's lines. Apollo
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: thirteen is now in Sir Isaac Newton's hands, meaning gravity
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: around the Moon. Here's the update from NASA over the weekend.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: By reaching this milestone, it means that the gravitational forces
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: of the Moon are now greater on the Orion space COFF.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Than that of Earth.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: Also, I would here that we noticed we entered the
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: litter sphere of influence about an hour ago, and later
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: enough we are now falling to the Moon rather than
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: rising away.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: From Earth the lunar sphere of influence. Godspeed to the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: whip around the Moon come back and what an awesome mission.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I love those guys, all right. This kind of goes
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: back to spirituality on Easter Sunday again. And I said
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: this in the introduction, but if you just hoping on now,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I didn't have this on my bingo card ever ever,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: thought it was done, thought it would never happen, never happen.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: First of all, this surgeon spirituality they're talking about. But
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the second thing is to have CNN do a story
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: on it, quoting The New York Times about how many
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: young people college age around there are going back to church.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Oh maybe it's not for you, but something like this
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: happening is a good sign. Anyway. Here's the most remarkable
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: part about to me is the CNN story. Here you go.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: There's a new and somewhat unexpected story emerging inside American churches,
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: not decline, but growth. According to the New York Times,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Catholic dioceses across the country are reporting a sharp increase
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: in adult conversions, with some seeing their highest numbers in years.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: In Detroit, more than fourteen hundred new Catholics expected this Easter,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: a twenty one year high. In Washington, nearly eighteen d
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: will join, also up from last year. And it's not
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: just happening in one region. The Times reports this trend
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: is showing up in large and small dioceses alike. Meanwhile,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: The Washington Post takes us inside one parish in New
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: York City where attendance has jumped twenty percent in just
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: the last six months.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Six months, not just for Easter. Everybody crams into like
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a church or you know, some sort of religious place
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: in Easter and you know, Christmas and all that good stuff.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Six months and I was wrong. It wasn't just the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: New York Times and CNN Washington Post talking about it too.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: They're not exactly like the bastions of religious freedom. You know,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: my entire life, I've followed the New York Times of
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Washington Post telling me that gods did. People don't care
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: about this stuff anymore. This is a sectarian society, separation
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of church and state. Well, this is a different thing.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And whether or not it's for you, it doesn't matter.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Just think about the story. Think about that this is
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: being spoken out loud in major media sources now three
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of them in fact. And the fact that it's even happening.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Even if it's not for you to do this, you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: maybe you don't want to get you know, baptized, to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: go to church or go to a synagogue or whatever
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: you do. Probably pretty good sign for society that other
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: people are because I guess they looked at the way
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: things were going and they said, yeah, that's not too cool.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I feel kind of empty. It's an amazing thing. I
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: didn't expect it. I just didn't as a Catholic kid
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: growing up I was told the entire time that we're
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: losing Catholics. I can't remember a time when I was
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: a child when there wasn't some pre somewhere saying we're
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: losing Catholics. Nobody comes to church anymore. Didn't expect it
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to turn around. But if you want to take that
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: as good news, I would like I said, even if
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: it's not for you, it's for other people. You'd rather
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: have people believing in something than not. Trust me in
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: this one. It's like patriotism. You'd rather have people patriotic
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: than not patriotic, because you get your might is going
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to be influenced one way or the other. It's healthier
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: to have it that way, all right. So that's a
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: pretty positive sign coming out of Easter. I gotta get
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: out of here, a lot of stuff to do, so
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: do you on Monday, getting over the holiday. Thanks for
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: finding me. The replay now on x and YouTube and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: on Facebook. And don't forget about the audio podcast post
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes after we get off in
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the live stream wherever you like to get those, and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: that's grown and grown. Apparently audio is the way to go.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: So appreciate you as always, Just find where you can
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: find Wicked Radio and downloaded. Thanks for finding me. I
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: appreciate you. I hope you had a great Easter Sunday,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: a great weekend. Remember that mission and don't let anybody
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: downplay it. You're gonna run into somebody today that's gonna say, yeah, well,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: sure they rescued those pilots, but they wasted one hundred
• 14:21
