Show 222: Days the world changed, Charlie Kirk and 9/11 · The Uncensored Catholic

0:54
Speaker 1: A we all welcome this week's show. We'll take a
1:02
little break from working our way through the Catechism of
1:07
Fallow Sparago is an exhaustive explanation of the Catechism of
1:11
the Catholic Church and our questions and answers from radio replies.
1:14
Because you know this is this I'm recording this on
1:19
September eleventh, and it's the day after Charlie Kirk's assassination,
1:25
a few days after that horrific killing of the Ukrainian
1:30
refugee on the train in Charlotte, and hell, it's all
1:36
hit me really hard, and I'm always somber on nine
1:41
to eleven. I know a lot of my audience will
1:44
not have actually been old enough to remember that morning.
1:51
It changed my life, changed most everybody's life. Actually, you know,
1:59
I'm remember waking up and getting ready for work. It
2:02
was a very chilly day. I was actually putting on
2:06
a jacket, getting ready to go out, and when the
2:09
first plane hit the building, and then the second plane
2:14
hit the building. By the time I got to work,
2:16
I had the radio on the planet crashed in Pennsylvania,
2:20
and you know, we lost three thousand people in the
2:23
blink of an eye. And I know, you know, since
2:27
there have been all kinds of conspiracy theories, and you know,
2:32
I don't really care. What happened was we lost that
2:38
many lives, and you know, it changed my life, changed
2:44
my life, changed everybody's lives, hopefully. But I resolved that
2:51
evening that I was going to quit my job. There
2:57
everything comfortable going along, all right. You know, had friends,
3:03
had was dating a whole bit, was getting ready to
3:08
start going to the local university there in Boone, you know,
3:12
Appalachian State, and they had at least one degree program.
3:16
I thought looked pretty good, and you know, things things
3:18
were going to be fun. I think things were going
3:22
to be playing music again, and I already had that
3:25
lined up, you know, and it actually reconnected with a
3:28
girl from high school who was just stunning gorgeous actually,
3:34
like the great great granddaughter of Martha Washington, and our
3:38
families have connections going back hundreds of years, and you know,
3:43
everything was going to be good. And I resolved that night.
3:47
I knew I couldn't enlist in the military, even though
3:52
that's what I really wanted to do. I would have
3:54
been one of those to do it right away, but
3:57
I still had a disability on my record from having
3:59
been paralyzed from a back injury. And if you know
4:02
my conversion story, you know that story. I was healed
4:04
by a miracle. And I also had family responsibilities. My
4:09
grandmother had suffered her first heart attack, my uncle had
4:13
suffered a stroke, and I knew I was going to
4:15
have to go and take care of them a goodly
4:17
amount of the time. And I did it. Yeah, really,
4:25
that became a full time thing within a year or two,
4:28
So I knew that was coming. And of course also
4:31
only child and divorced parents, and you know, got a
4:35
responsibility to my mother and such. But I decided I
4:39
was going to go work in politics, and I did
4:44
and got accepted to a certain Southern Baptist university up
4:47
in Virginia with a very well known politically involved minister.
4:55
I'll just go and tell you it was doctor Jerry Folwell.
4:57
And I had already been making some connections in politics,
5:02
had some friends with the Egle Forum and Philis Shala
5:05
Athlete's Group and with Young Americans YAF whatever that different groups,
5:12
and so I went up there and started getting involved
5:17
as quickly as I could, got involved with the local
5:20
Republican party. They were really great, really welcoming. I thought
5:24
that's how all of them were. So I got back
5:25
to North Carolina. Anyway, I came up with an idea
5:30
talking with my friends, especially at Egle Forum and such
5:32
as that, and I went to doctor Follwell said, I
5:36
want to start a group on campus. The goal is
5:40
to be to educate all the students on politics, on
5:47
pro life issues, on faith and family issues. And I
5:53
want this to start here and spread to every campus
5:55
in America. And it's not going to be like the
5:57
College Republicans. You know, I'd been involved with the College
6:00
Republicans back in Georgia. I won't say they're a worthless organization,
6:06
but it's really all about networking, getting in with the
6:13
right people. A lot of law students and such trying
6:17
to get network their way up. You know, how could
6:22
I put it bluntly? Well, when I was at UGA,
6:25
the two leaders of the College Republicans were twenty, you know,
6:31
nineteen twenty years old, always wore khakis and dress shirts,
6:37
dripping old money, and were bald. You did not get
6:40
in into the leadership unless you were you know, old
6:46
family and very well connected. I was old family in
6:49
North Carolina. I was not in Georgia, and they were like,
6:53
who were you, you know, and it was very exclusion here.
7:00
We'll say. So I get up there and doctor Fowells,
7:03
I've told you before. He was one of the greatest
7:05
men I've ever known. He was magnanimous. He slapped me
7:08
on the back, he shook my hand, he said, whatever
7:10
you need to make this happen, you call me. You
7:13
tell so and so and so and so that I
7:15
told you to do this, and go ahead and do it. Wow.
7:19
Blown away, right. So I charted and immediately faced opposition
7:26
from those that were more established, like the college Republicans
7:29
on campus, who stopped having meetings essentially so I couldn't
7:33
use them to organize different people in the administration such
7:38
as that ran into walls rand walls constantly. I had
7:44
had the temerity to be working in local politics. State
7:48
politics was more on the national level as well, and
7:51
I was very quickly hired by a Republican congressman to
7:55
help with policy and speech writing. I was organizing people
7:59
to go out and knockdoors and walk districts, you know,
8:03
helping that with re elections. Working with a US senator.
8:08
Got to know through a third party g Gordon Lyddie,
8:12
who also gave me his full endorsement and some advice
8:16
and mentorship to another some connection with Rush Limbaugh. You know,
8:22
I was really kind of on my way right and
8:27
you know, and then I converted Catholicism, and doctor Follwell
8:32
had no problem with that whatsoever, but others at the
8:35
school did, and I was submarily asked to leave. Well
8:40
that was okay because my grandmother had her second heart attack,
8:42
and I went back to North Carolina. Tried to do
8:45
the same thing in North Carolina and was blocked at
8:49
every point. The Republican Party what had nothing to do
8:52
with me. This was before the Tea Party movement. I
8:55
was some upstart. I hadn't paid my dues and started
9:00
a statewide newspaper started going out from I mean one
9:06
hundred counties in North Carolina. I visited them all every
9:08
single year, making speeches, signing people up, organizing anything from
9:16
you petitions to door walking campaigns, get out of the
9:20
vote campaigns, you know, you name it. And eventually crossed
9:26
a couple of very influential people, congressman and such, and
9:33
they went after my advertisers. They shut us down, basically
9:36
put us in bankruptcy. Before then, the people were trying
9:41
to run me off the road thanks to a certain
9:44
congressman in the western part of the state. I was
9:47
informed by the FBI that there was actually almost like
9:50
a hit put out on me. They were going to
9:52
kill me. That actually does tie to nine to eleven.
9:56
But I'm not going to get into it. Let's just
9:59
say that that politician would not allow certain things to
10:05
happen unless money was put in his campaign account. And
10:08
I publicized that and he lost his seat, and it
10:13
was after that the knives were really out for me.
10:16
So long story short, I tried to do essentially what
10:22
Charlie Kirk did. He came up about five years after
10:27
I was out of the business. I was aware of
10:30
him from the start, cheering him on all the way. Man,
10:35
I thought, Charlie Kirk hung the moon. You know. It
10:39
kind of irked me that he had the connection to
10:41
the same university that had forced me to leave and
10:45
leave where I would have been extremely successful in politics
10:48
because Virginia is not like North Carolina at all. Virginians
10:53
are friendly, welcoming, open polite, not in the DC area,
10:59
necessarily in central and western part of the state, and
11:03
I mean I had people were saying, Okay, when you
11:07
finish this, we want you to run for Congress. When
11:09
you finish that, we want you to run for Senate.
11:12
I was actually even set up on a date with
11:13
one of the Bush twins. I was well, I wasn't
11:16
set up on a date. Someone said, would you like
11:18
for me arrange this meeting? Frankly in retrospect, essentially, especially
11:24
with all the faith I lost in George W. Bush
11:26
over the prosecution of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq
11:29
and his support for gay marriage, that would be another
11:32
big one. And then he never lifted a single finger
11:35
to do anything for the pro life cause that he
11:37
supposedly championed. It helped him get elected, and then he
11:41
want nothing to do with it. I'm very, very glad
11:44
I did not get involved with the Bushes and McCain's
11:47
and all that crowd. So here comes Chirlie Kirk, and man,
11:51
he's doing it. He's kicking the ball out of he's
11:55
knocking the ball out of the park, he's kicking the
11:56
football down the field and he's I mean, without Charlie Kirk,
12:01
I don't know that President Trump would have been reelected
12:05
eighteen year old kid comes up in the Obama administration,
12:10
starts doing exactly what might have been from going and
12:16
speaking and handing out pamphlets and going door to door
12:20
get out the vote, organizing, convincing people of especially the
12:26
pro life message. And he was all about God, family
12:33
and country. And yesterday somebody killed it. Now I mean
12:39
human reaction. My first thought is that could have been me,
12:43
and probably should have been me, and almost was me.
12:47
And you know, on the one hand, thank god it
12:50
wasn't me. On the other hand, I am so broken
12:55
and said for him, for his family, for our country.
13:09
I mean, it's really gotten to me. That girl that
13:14
was killed on the train in Charlotte. I mean, as
13:18
y'all know, if you listen to the show for very long.
13:21
My best friend was Ukrainian from mary Ople, and she
13:27
went essentially back to mary Ople to get her mother
13:31
out and her son and they're all presumed dead, Okay.
13:44
I mean, it's not like there's a grave somewhere that
13:47
I know about, But I haven't heard from her, and
13:51
we used to talk daily even when she was back
13:54
in Ukraine. The power to be out. They'd set up
13:56
a generator in a coffee shop and she'd go in
13:59
she texts me, we're okay, We're okay. They had to
14:02
leave for a while. I think they went over to
14:05
like maybe Georgia or Czechoslovakia. Anyway, they had to come
14:11
back because her her son was had graduated high school
14:15
and was becoming military age. And then nothing. And that
14:19
was right after a huge drone attack and I think
14:22
a missile attack too, in the neighborhood where she was
14:26
staying in Odessa. So I begged her, begged her to
14:34
come to America as a refugee. I would have sponsored her,
14:39
her whole family, housed and fed them anything. And then
14:45
to see that monster killed that girl in Charlotte. How
14:55
can our nation be more dangerous then most of the
15:03
neighborhoods in Kiev. How How are there more killings in
15:10
the streets of Chicago on a weekly basis than there
15:13
were in Afghanistan at the height of the war in Kabble.
15:19
Our culture is so evil now. One thing that's really
15:29
impressed me and gives me hope is that, according to
15:36
people that were close to Charlie Kirk, I never met him,
15:38
not claiming to. And I'm certainly not trying to write
15:41
on his coat, tails or anything. I'm just giving you
15:43
some background. His wife is a devout Catholic, and he
15:51
had been attending Mass with her and their kids regularly,
15:59
and they were planning on having their marriage blessed in
16:02
the church. And about a week ago, from what I understand,
16:08
he gave a speech honoring the blessed Virgin Mary. I
16:13
hope and pray that Charlie Kirk, in his heart had
16:16
already made the decision to become Catholic. And I'm praying
16:30
for the repose of his soul, and that our blessed
16:33
Mother wrapped him in her mantle and took him directly
16:40
to Heaven. I think it's very important that we all fast.
16:46
If you can do penance, offer up your sufferings. A
16:54
truly good man has left this earth, leaving behind a
17:03
family that's gonna miss him forever until they're reunited with it.
17:16
But what's important to understand is he was the leader
17:22
of a movement. Now. I know not everybody listening to
17:26
my show is a great Donald Trump fanly, Okay, I am.
17:30
I am as maga as can be. He doesn't not
17:35
everything he does do I agree with. I'm definitely opposed
17:38
to his position on you know, in beatri fertilization such
17:43
as that, but ninety five ninety nine percent, he is
17:50
knocking it out of the park every day. So I
17:55
was writing the gospel reflection for next year, and today's
18:00
one that I was writing on happened to be the
18:02
memorial the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church. And
18:07
in the first reading it, you know, it's from when
18:13
animis were expelled from the garden of Eden, and it says,
18:19
let me see if I can just get the quote here,
18:21
I will put in between in between inmity, between you
18:25
and the woman, between Satan and the woman, the serpent
18:27
and the woman, and between you and your offspring and hers.
18:31
He will strike your head, while you will strike at
18:33
his heel. The devil hates more than anything else other
18:40
than God, I suppose family. He hates motherhood, he hates fatherhood,
18:49
he hates love, he hates beauty. Everything so called liberals
18:58
stand for the left is against the family. The tools
19:03
the devil uses to attack the family are divorce, abortion, contraception, pornography,
19:13
radical political feminism. The feminist movement that is communist core,
19:17
has done nothing but tear families apart and dennigreat fatherhood,
19:22
the homosexual and transgender movements. These are the tools that
19:25
he uses to destroy the family, which is the foundation
19:28
of the church. Without the family, there's no church. That's
19:37
everything the left stands for now. In the past few months,
19:43
we've seen that horrific school shooting, church shooting, I guess
19:48
you'd call it, you know, the Catholic church at a
19:52
Catholic school, transactivists goes up there and searts shooting into
19:57
the church at mass killing children for then. You know,
20:02
I guess last year there was that transactivist who went
20:05
and shot up a school in Nashville. From what I understand,
20:10
the majority of the most recent school shootings and church
20:14
shootings have been by transactivists. And the reports are of now,
20:22
and I you know, first reports, we go with them
20:25
with what they are. But the FBI is saying that
20:27
they've recovered the rifle of the person who shot Charlie
20:30
Kirk and it has trans messages carved into the ammunition
20:36
and the rifle or paid it on there. However it is,
20:38
I haven't seen it. You know, there is evil in
20:44
this world. There is real evil in the United States,
20:48
and it's that evil that's in these antifa riots. It's
20:56
that evil that's in these pro abortion demonstrations. It's that
21:03
evil that's in the trans movement. Now I know certainly
21:08
not all people who are so called transgendered, that something
21:11
doesn't even exist, by the way, it's gender dysphoria. Then
21:14
they get manipulated by teachers, by doctors, drugged and get
21:20
their bits cut off, and they end up a lot
21:23
of them insane. Okay, a lot of them are good people,
21:26
a lot of them are trying to detransition, a lot
21:28
of them are becoming Christian. It's the ideology behind that movement,
21:33
just as it's the ideology behind political radical political feminism,
21:38
behind abortion, behind no fault divorce, behind secularism in general,
21:45
that denies that there even is a God, that denies
21:50
the church that God put here with the authority to
21:52
teach in his stead. That denies the teaching of God
21:55
through the Bible and through his Church. It's evil same
22:00
ideology that has allowed crime to run rampant on our streets.
22:04
The prosecutors and the das that let criminals out of
22:09
jail and then prosecute people praying peacefully in front of
22:12
an abortion clinic, or investigate parents standing up for their
22:18
kids at school board meeting, saying I don't want my
22:21
kid made insane through radical teachers and drugs pumped into
22:26
them without my knowledge. The movement Charlie Kirk led was changing,
22:33
that the younger people starting to become more conservative, more Christian.
22:40
And this is something that you know, most Christian denominations
22:45
can agree on this. It's not purely a Catholic issue.
22:48
We can agree on this with the Baptists and the
22:51
Methodists and whatever. I know, a lot of the churches
22:55
have gotten pretty darn radical. I mean, there are not
22:57
a lot of conservative Anglicans left. There are some conservative Lutherans,
23:02
there are some still, just a handful conservative Presbyterians. But
23:07
we can agree that our culture is evil, and it's
23:12
the very root of it is the attack on the family,
23:18
and that is purely Satanic. So I'm gonna wrap it
23:23
up here today as we remember the victims of nine
23:31
to eleven and all those killed and wounded in the
23:35
wars that followed. And I don't just mean our soldiers.
23:40
They are innocent Afghanis and Iraqis whose families were killed
23:47
for no valid reason. I mean, we had a valid
23:54
reason to go to war. In Afghanistan to take out
23:57
the Taliban, and that was pretty much wrapped up in
24:00
the blink of an eye. And George W. Bush, who
24:02
have gotten our troops the hell out of there after that,
24:06
whether we had a valid reason to go into a rack,
24:09
I don't know. I don't know. You know, I was
24:13
somewhat on the inside at the time. I was given
24:16
information that usually didn't get out to the general public.
24:20
There are things about that conflict that many people don't know.
24:27
But as the source of that information was like the CIA,
24:32
and we found out how thoroughly corrupt the CIA is.
24:37
If we didn't know it, you know before, with the
24:40
Kennedy assassination on up, through the drug trafficking the eighties
24:45
and all the stuff they've been up to, we've certainly
24:48
found it out after the Trump after Biden stole the election.
24:55
We have certainly found out that the CIA and the
25:00
and our military intelligence agencies have fairly corrupt and really
25:08
deep state evil military I mean, you know, we were
25:13
warned decades ago give about the military industrial complex that
25:17
they would start wars just to make money. Well, I'm
25:21
not going to say one word about whether Iraq was
25:24
a just war or not. I don't know. I don't know,
25:29
but I do know it could have been over in
25:31
a matter of weeks, and we had no reason to
25:34
station troops there for almost twenty years, getting their arms
25:38
and legs blown off and being killed. And that's why
25:43
I really am glad that I have nothing to do
25:48
with the Bush family or the Cheney family, and that
25:51
Donald Trump has pretty much destroyed their political influence. Thank
25:56
God for Donald Trump, at least for that. You may
25:59
hate everything else about the man, but he has taken
26:02
down the Clintons, the Bushes, and the Chinese, and God willing,
26:06
by the time it's all over, JD. Evans at least
26:09
will put an end to any influence Obama had. And
26:13
the Bidens, I mean they're done. They're done. I mean
26:17
they will be Biden will be remembered as an illegitimate president,
26:21
as a national disgrace, and I mean his family name
26:27
will never carry any influence in this country again. But
26:33
my main point is I want you to think of
26:38
Charlie Kirk as a martyr, no different than the early
26:41
Christian martyrs, no different than the Maccabees, no different than
26:44
the martyrs in the American Revolution, or you know those
26:48
that were killed in the Civil rights movement, for better
26:51
or for worse. Some of the civil rights movement was
26:53
wonderful and some of it was really not so good.
26:57
But that's probably true just about anything that humans have
27:01
their hands on. Whether the man was converting to Catholicism
27:08
or not. He stood up for God, country, and family.
27:15
He had a love for the Blessed Virgin Mary. And
27:18
he was killed denouncing the trans movement, peacefully trying to
27:26
debate and talk people into an understanding of the importance
27:30
of the family. His main goal, he said after Trump's election,
27:35
was to convince people to get married and have big families,
27:39
especially young people. Get married young and have big families
27:42
and raise them up in good Christian homes. I do
27:46
not believe in any way, shape or form that it
27:50
was It's a coincidence that he was killed, apparently by
27:54
a transactivist, during a month and a week dedicated to
28:00
the Blessed Virgin Mary. But remember, the serpent will strike
28:08
at Jesus heel, but will eventually be crushed, and it's
28:14
going to be hard. Until that point, we're a long
28:16
way off. We're a long way off. The Church has
28:20
taught for thousands of years. At the end of time
28:24
will not come until the Jews have converted to Christianity,
28:28
and the Muslims as well for that matter. And our
28:30
blessed Virgin Mary has, our blessed Mother, has promised that
28:34
she will be the one that leads the Muslims to conversion.
28:38
We're a long ways off. Things are going to get
28:40
a lot worse before they get better. But I want
28:42
you to remember that Charlie Kirk was the leader of
28:45
a movement, and as a martyr, his blood will fertilize
28:53
that movement. We can't let it be in vain, and
28:57
we can't lash out with any kind of violence or vindictiveness.
29:01
He was not about that, and his Christians were not
29:04
about that. My prayer is that the millions of young
29:09
people that his life touched will each rise up to
29:15
be a Charlie Kirk. And if you're listening to this
29:19
today and you can do that, I can tell you
29:24
it comes with risks, It comes with opposition, It comes
29:28
with difficulties that you cannot imagine. You will think you
29:33
have allies and friends one day and the next day
29:36
they will be the very people trying to destroy you.
29:41
But it's worth it. We're the church militant where the
29:45
church on Earth? It's our job. And if you know
29:50
a college student who was influenced by Charlie Kirk, or
29:54
you know somebody in their twenties or whatever, or someone
29:58
who is open to a rational debate and understanding. If
30:03
you know a high school student who's maybe their politics
30:06
aren't really formed yet, videos of Charlie Kirk, this podcast,
30:12
this very podcast, share it with him and then say,
30:17
you know, I'd like you to see this video of
30:18
Charlie Kirk and can it could just be that one
30:26
of his daughter running up and hugging him, and say,
30:33
this is who the leftists, the Antifa, the transactivists, the
30:41
Democrats killed. This is the man. And then after that,
30:48
you know, there's some good, good videos from Praguer. You
30:52
I don't agree with Prager on a lot, but I
30:54
agree with him on enough that there's some videos I
30:56
would share. You know, there's a lot turning point. USA
31:03
is going to continue, and as has been said so
31:06
many times in the last twenty four hours, let this
31:09
be the turning point. Let en of twenty twenty five
31:16
be for the good. What nine to eleven was in
31:21
so many lives A day we never forget. Oh one
31:26
more thing. I did a little video tribute to Charlie Kirk,
31:32
just me playing my guitar. I took the words to
31:35
an old song about a communist labor union organizer that
31:41
was made popular by Joean Biaz and changed the words
31:44
to honor Charlie Kirk. I thought he would find that
31:47
a little humorous get a kick out of it. So
31:50
this on YouTube. It's on my YouTube channel. Let me
31:54
pull up the url for that real quick. You know,
31:56
I'll put it in the show notes. I don't need
31:59
to take up any more of your time. But my
32:03
channel on YouTube, I'm real good and so fal emotion,
32:08
aren't I Yeah. Anyway, my channel, I guess is you
32:14
know what's that you arel? Doesn't make any sense, but
32:16
it's Judson Carroll on YouTube. Judson Carroll five nine o two.
32:20
I'll put the link on it. And you know, it
32:25
was just something I did. It was heartfelt and I
32:27
hope you'll enjoy it. It's called I dreamed I saw
32:30
Charlie Kirk. So anyway, y'all have a great week. We'll
32:33
get back to normal next week. Get back pick up
32:37
where we left off talking about the sacraments, the all
32:39
important sacraments. But you know, today's a good day to
32:45
offer some penance and pray. Pray for our nation, pray that,
32:53
pray that people will reject, that the American people will
32:57
reject the godless socialistmocrats, liberalism, progressivism, communism, socialism, whatever you
33:05
want to call it, and turn to Christian morals and teachings.
33:10
I pray for the unity of all Christians. I pray
33:12
every day, and we all should. It's actually an indulgenced
33:15
prayer that all the Protestants will return to the Catholic Church.
33:18
But until then, there are some things we can agree on,
33:23
and key core is the family, God, family, and country.
33:30
Our country is not always right, but we can rely
33:33
on God and family, and as long as we prioritize
33:37
those two things, the rest falls in. The rest falls
33:40
into place. Anyway, y'all, I'll talk to you next time.
