"Cancel Culture Tried to Make a Comeback" (Tuesday September 30, 2025, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: Potentially one of the great days ever in civilization.
0:07
Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
0:12
the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
0:15
Speaker 3: George said, steal me stemy day at least for work.
0:21
Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops a kid to scoop.
0:25
Joe has everything a dream do all the Jersus seven needs.
0:30
The one that Joe sais smile He only.
0:33
Speaker 1: As shall think it's the biggest thing they've ever heard.
0:38
Speaker 5: Joe, here hold these truths. Sitting with Victoria Coma the
0:45
Family Foundation, we'll get back into the latest from the
0:49
Michigan shooter and what might have his motivations have been.
0:52
He certainly didn't understand thou shalt not murder. Holy war
0:56
perhaps coming to an end in the Middle East. There
0:59
there's a string running through this. But Victoria, I appreciate
1:03
you talking and congratulations about being welcomed back to Western
1:07
Albermarle High School. Victoria is this goes on and I
1:13
know that you're a deeply faithful woman as am I well,
1:17
I'm a deeply faithful woman that we could go back
1:20
to the original point five. I self identify as but
1:27
as people of faith. One of the things that we
1:30
believe in is helping those who need help. And one
1:34
of the constructs of my position on LGBTQ and especially
1:38
trans is that if a child is telling me they
1:43
hate who they are and they want to take these
1:45
extreme measures to do something about it, I think that
1:51
we're failing them if we don't say to them, let's
1:55
help you through the underlying issue, which is, why are
1:58
you in so much pain? What has caused you to
2:01
have this level of displeasure with yourself? Am I wrong
2:06
about that? Because I feel like that's what Jesus would do.
2:09
He wouldn't sit there and say, well, we'll let you
2:12
be whatever gender you want, just join my church. He
2:16
would say, let's work on what's really in your pain.
2:21
And I feel like that's the way we should be
2:23
dealing with this, and I think that's what Charlie Kirk
2:26
would have said as well.
2:28
Speaker 6: There's a reason we don't let ten year olds get
2:30
in behind a wheel of a car and drive themselves
2:32
off a cliffs, because we love them, even if they
2:34
feel like doing that, even if they're happy doing that,
2:37
even if they're confused that they can't do that. And
2:40
the reality is we've got situations where kids are hurting deeply,
2:44
and if we can't come beside them and help them
2:47
get to what is good and true, we are harming them.
2:50
And in fact, in Virginia, we had a statewide policy
2:53
that said therapists counselors were not legally allowed to help
2:57
these kids.
2:57
Speaker 7: So if the kid walked into a counselor's office, until
3:01
just this past julye if they walked into a counsel's
3:03
office and they said I am confused about my gender,
3:06
the counselor could do everything in their power to help
3:08
them go all the way to changing transitioning to a
3:11
different sex and their biology, even to the point of
3:13
encouraging them to go get surgery. And there were hospitals
3:15
that would have been happy to do it for them
3:17
in Virginia, but they weren't allowed. They were legally going
3:20
to lose their license if they said, let's get your
3:23
mind square, let's get your emotion square with what your
3:25
body is, how God made you. That was illegal until
3:28
our law center was able to bring a lawsuit on
3:30
behalf of some counselors and actually get that thrown out.
3:33
And so it's tragic, and I'm just glad at least
3:36
the counselors are back in play this time.
3:38
Speaker 5: Now well that question. Victoria Cobb Family Foundation that is
3:41
the legal Founding Principles Legal Center and find a Familyfoundation
3:49
dot org are first things this morning. JB. Pritzker says
3:56
that one hundred federal troops are headed to Illinois, as
4:00

4:20
yesterday evening for which services it will pause in the

4:32
Van's vice president came out of the meeting with the
4:36
House and Senate leadership from both parties and said, I
4:39
think we're headed to a shutdown because the Democrats won't
4:42
do the right thing. I hope they changed their mind,
4:44
but we're going to see. Russ Vote of the Office
4:48
of Management and Budget said the Democrats were seeking one

5:45

Speaker 14: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
8:08
Speaker 15: Yes?
8:08
Speaker 14: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
8:13
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
8:18
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
8:23
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
8:28
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:32
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:36
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
8:39
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
8:42
your hands and feet.
8:44
Speaker 5: Well.

Speaker 17: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
9:37
than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
9:41
the one for new macccle disease can protect adults from
9:44
illnesses that can cause mistays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
9:49
New macaccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
9:53
or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
9:56
of an infection that can spread from person to person.
10:00
Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
10:04
I'm doctor Susan Reem of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
10:08
When I speak with my patients, I urge them to
10:10
get all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to
10:13
speak with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.

Speaker 25: It's one from the home of the First Amendment.
13:26
Speaker 12: First thing today.
13:42
Speaker 5: Thank you for letting us be of service to You've
13:44
got to be fired up. You've got to be fired up,
13:47
and you have to look at your neighbor as just
13:51
an amazing person, and you have to treat them that way.
13:55
This is how I roll. This is People call me
13:58
a Pollyanna all the time. But at four three four
14:01
eight eight two four two one seven we'll get back
14:04
to the President's press conference with net and Yahoo yesterday.
14:09
Details coming out of Michigan will break some of that
14:12
down for you. But our friends from the Jefferson Coin
14:15
jcsgold dot com heady places fifty dollars an ounce looming
14:23
in the headlights, record highs of silver. James Luck is
14:27
on the phone with us this morning, James, and you
14:29
can call him after ten Eastern at four three four
14:33
nine seven nine coin. He and his family run business
14:37
there and their great staff there to visit with you
14:40
and talk to you about gold and silver investing. How
14:43
are you doing, James? Hang on, Hang on a second, James,
14:50
hang on a second. We're gonna have to apparently we
14:54
broke our phones somewhere during the news. How are you
14:56
doing this morning, sir?
14:58
Speaker 4: I'm new welcome.
14:58
Speaker 26: How are you good?
15:00
Speaker 5: Pretty good? So how are gold and silver doing?
15:03
Speaker 26: They're doing well. They are down slightly, but I was
15:07
just looking at the chart here at jcsgold dot com.
15:10
It looks like they spiked up some overnight and they've
15:13
settled down some. So take these numbers into into context
15:17
with where they were yesterday. But gold is at three
15:20
eight hundred and seven dollars technically down about half percent,
15:24
down twenty six dollars, and silver is at forty six
15:28
dollars and fifteen cents, which is down about one and
15:32
a half percent. Again, I think that red number is
15:36
because it had a spike overnight and it settled to
15:39
where it was yesterday. High numbers here and were silver
15:44
is marching on its way to fifty dollars so far,
15:46
so we'll see where it goes the rest of the week.
15:49
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, and silver, you have so many neat ways
15:51
to invest in silver, Like we were talking about yesterday,
15:54
gold coins as well, as that goes on. And Christmas
15:59
is it too early? I know. I was in a
16:01
big box store, James, I confess, and there were all
16:04
the Christmas ornaments and I said, wow, we haven't even
16:08
put the page over on September yet, but you have
16:11
Christmas rounds. They're one part ornament, one part investment. Are
16:15
they in yet or is it still you know, you
16:18
guys don't roll that early.
16:20
Speaker 25: Yeah.
16:20
Speaker 10: They we get.
16:22
Speaker 26: Those sort of private mint in the US that puts
16:25
those out, so it usually it takes a little while.
16:27
We're a little I guess call it old school traditional
16:31
of course, we're golden silver dealers, but we usually those
16:35
show up around Thanksgiving time to get ready for the
16:38
Christmas season. But they're a huge hit every year. We
16:40
will have this available at jcschool dot com as well,
16:43
And you know, that's just another way to invest in silver.
16:46
And that's the main thing, is just to buy silver
16:49
over time and to stack it so you don't have
16:51
to pay attention to the price fluctuations. You're just constantly
16:55
buying and you're having it for when it does run up,
16:58
and you can find inflation that way.
17:00
Speaker 5: Our friend Steve Campbell at Cornerstone Wealth Advisors was talking
17:04
about he has bonds and stocks for his clients, but
17:08
also gold and silver and so they're diversified all the
17:12
way across. And I think it's a great idea. James,
17:15
You have a great morning, sir. Thanks show you too.
17:18
Four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
17:22
That's the phone number. As the engineers open up the
17:26
hood on the phone system, we'll uh, we'll get that
17:30
working for you at four three four eight eight two
17:32
four two one seven. A couple of quick emails and
17:37
text messages. While that goes on, on the subject of
17:44
the peace deal in the Middle East, Trump is being played.
17:49
Writ's Teresa Uh. The President's being played by the Islamists.
17:54
They claim that they're going to have peace with the
17:57
Middle East and that they're going to work with Israel
18:00
while they're worried about sneaking into Israel to blow up Israel.
18:04
We have to stand with Israel. I don't think There's
18:07
been a President Theresa that stood with Israel more than
18:12
President Trump. But at some point, prosperity has to begin
18:18
with peace, you know. And Israel is as prosperous as
18:25
it is, almost as an outlier to the fact that
18:27
it's under constant assault from you know, the countries around it,
18:32
who find its existence and affront to them. And at
18:37
some point you have to put that aside. This one
18:44
Mike writes in what about conservative Islamists, what about conservative Jordanians,
18:52
conservative Arabs? Aren't they conserving their society? By the I
19:00
opened myself up to that by saying, you know, conservative
19:03
United States citizen beliefs. It begins, it ends with our
19:08
doctrine of the US Constitution Bill at Rights. Certainly that's
19:13
the rule book, but the doctrine laid out in our
19:16
Declaration of Independence. All men created equal, endowed by their
19:20
creator with unalienable rights, and amongst them life, liberty, and
19:25
the pursuit of happiness. And to secure those rights, governments
19:30
are instituted amongst men, not to deliver them, but to
19:33
make sure that nobody else takes them from them. It's
19:37
a simple scenario. I guess it's too simple for a
19:40
lot of people who spent a lot of time in
19:42
law school or government school. The the issue with Israel
19:54
and peace in the Middle East is getting them trading
19:56
with one another. This was the point I made earlier
19:59
in the program is the Abraham Accords are a great
20:02
example of what happens when you set up trade deals
20:05
and you're going to make this for us, and we're
20:07
going to make this for you, and that's when people
20:10
stop shooting at each other. It just is. So the
20:20
Abraham Accords made a lot of people upset because guys
20:25
like John Bolton have been making a lot of money.
20:28
What's the expression we like to use here, If you
20:31
can't be part of the solution, there's good money to
20:33
be made in prolonging the problem. And that's what it
20:39
seems like. Our foreign policy in the Middle East has
20:42
been designed to continue to prolong the problem rather than
20:47
end it. So when the President says we're going to
20:57
expand the Abraham Accords, so we have the whole clip
21:01
there was the President yesterday. We played some of it
21:04
in the last hour. Do we have timed out really
21:07
but to some more of what he was saying yesterday
21:11
in the press state and I have just.
21:14
Speaker 1: Concluded an important meeting on many vital issues including Iran trade,
21:20
the expansion of the Abrahm Accords, and most importantly, we
21:26
discussed how to end the Warren Gaza.
21:29
Speaker 5: But it's just.
21:30
Speaker 1: A part of the bigger picture, which is piece in
21:34
the Middle East.
21:37
Speaker 5: And you know, as he mentions, you know, the first
21:40
thing they talked about was Iran because they're the ones
21:43
who were Fomendy. They're the Soviet Union behind all of
21:47
the border skirmishes that took place during the Cold War.
21:51
They're the ones who send the lawyers, guns and money
21:54
into these battlefields to wage this jihad against the West.
22:01

23:11
do we keep our pets safe? No matter where we live,
23:14
the potential for natural or man made disasters is a possibility,
23:18
so preparation is key. First, make sure to have an
23:22
evacuation plan mapped out in advance. Know where you're going
23:26
to go and how you're going to get there. Next,
23:29
put together a pet emergency kit with several days food, medicine,
23:34
a first aid kit, and other essential items. Make sure
23:37
your pets are microchipped with updated contact information in case
23:41
you get separated, and be sure to have your pets
23:44
vaccination and medical records, plus contact info for your vet
23:48
and pharmacy. If you need help on how to prepare,
23:51
reach out to your vetnarian's office and for more information,

29:20
is it is it that Moscow? Or is it one
29:22
of the cities in the United States that carries the
29:26
name Moscow? It's it's it's that Moscow, isn't it? Uh,
29:31
We don't say it enough. There are towns in the
29:34
United States that carry that name. But how are things
29:38
in Russia this morning? Bob? See there? Barb there?
29:49
Speaker 10: Yeah, can you hear me?
29:51
Speaker 5: Yeah? The phone system is still jacked up a little
29:53
bit here, So go ahead. What's what's on you?
29:57
Speaker 32: No?
29:57
Speaker 5: No, no, we got you now.
30:01
Speaker 10: Okay, what's on my mind is perfect way to solve
30:06
the debt. Solve the bill tonight.
30:10
Speaker 5: Oh for them shut down.
30:14
Speaker 10: Yes, what they should do is pull a Nancy Pelosi,
30:17
Chuck Schumer, and Barack Obama at the last minute, say
30:21
as eleven thirty Eastern time, present to bill to the
30:27
Republican House, immediately pass the sentences Senate and put pressure
30:32
on the senencing. Just sign it. You can read it later.
30:36
But this is what we need to do. This is
30:40
what we need to do. Okay, Democrats, you want to
30:43
give health care to all the illegal aliens, we are
30:47
Greek to that. But in order to do that, to
30:51
cover the cost all federal employees, effect of January first
30:59
will be on Obamacare because it's so wonderful, as you
31:03
guys said, according to Barack Obama, Schumer and Pelosi, in
31:07
this big billy pass to cover it. Extend, don't extend
31:13
the debts. Make a budget that will last through through
31:17
the end of the term of President Trump. And let
31:24
them say all you said we have to compromise. We compromise.
31:28
We're giving you everything you want, you know, free health
31:32
care for the illegals. But in order to do that
31:36
we're getting rid of the government employees benefits because that's
31:43
what you want. You want them to be on Obamacare
31:46
because it's so good. So all the politicians, everyone will
31:50
no longer have access to the military hospitals or anything else.
31:56
They will all be on Obamacare.
32:00
Speaker 5: You could even take it further than that. Give give
32:02
every federal employee exactly the same healthcare the illegals are
32:06
going to get and see how quickly they go huh,
32:11
Because you know, what does a non citizen? What does
32:13
some guy from Guatemala know about what to expect from
32:18
American health care? So we could send him into an
32:21
alley behind the movie theater and say, yeah, that's your
32:24
clinic in there, good luck, have a nice day, and
32:28
some guy wiping snot from his nose is taking care
32:31
of him.
32:33
Speaker 10: But think about this, The Republics are missing it. Optimal opportunity.
32:39
Sign all these people up for Obamacare. Okay, all the illegally,
32:43
it's a free healthcare when they come in to sign up,
32:48
advice see there, and get him out of our country.
32:52
Speaker 5: I think that's another way to do it. It's the
32:54
oh hey we have we have your lottery winnings here,
32:57
show up at the police station where we're holding it.
33:00
They're good stuff, Bob, you have a great morning. Well,
33:03
you go ahead. Last thought you too.
33:05
Speaker 10: Well, it's just it's a good way to get rid
33:08
of all the truly bad illegals, which is all the
33:11
legal aliens in America, because they broke our law. If
33:15
I did the same thing in Russia.
33:17
Speaker 20: What do you think what happened to me?
33:18
Speaker 5: Asked Brittany Grinder.
33:21
Speaker 10: Well, no, she broke She broke the law. She brought
33:25
drugs into this country, which is against the law. Mark
33:29
Fulgol brought drugs into Russia, which is against the law.
33:34
It's no different than if I brought illegal drugs back
33:37
into America and customs and border agents caught me going
33:42
through customs, I would be arrested. Period.
33:45
Speaker 5: So they both.
33:46
Speaker 10: Broke the law.
33:48
Speaker 5: Right. Well, in this country, we seem like we have
33:50
a moving target over the law. Thank you, Bob. You
33:53
have a good morning, sir. All right, Engineers, get back
33:57
on the technology there and figure out what's going on
34:00
with the phone system. They're speaking of drugs just to
34:04
release yesterday, apparently the in the nine months of this
34:12
year since the administration began the task force that includes
34:18
the Coastguard and all the DEA and all of that.
34:22
For the fiscal year, one million pounds of cocaine seized.
34:30
Just cocaine, I feel like Doctor Evil. One million pounds.
34:35
One million pounds would fill forty two dump trucks, and
34:41
it is enough to create three hundred and seventy eight
34:45
million lethal doses of cocaine. Do the math. That's enough
34:53
to kill every single American and a few of the
34:56
illegals too. That's how much cocaine has been seized on
35:02
its way into the United States since the administration began
35:08
its border cracked down on it. Forty Think about forty
35:11
two dump trucks. If you've ever been stuck in traffic
35:15
behind a slow moving cadre of paving trucks on their
35:20
way to fill in potholes along your highways, imagine forty
35:26
two of them, all with white powders like blowing off
35:29
in the breeze, a bunch of really happy drivers. So
35:33
little taste testing going on there, man, And it was like,
35:39
can somebody ask Rand Paul if he's concerned, if if
35:43
these drugs were intended for medicinal purposes or something? Text
35:50
right now, Joe, you know cocaine used to be prescribed
35:53
for many well, yeah, cocaine used to be prescribed for
35:56
medicinal purposes. So did a lot of things. Psilocybin where
36:01
it still having the debates over magic mushrooms and the
36:09
pain relief of THCHC and all of these things that
36:12
we're looking at. And it's a difficult place because you know,
36:21
when you feel that stuff at me at four three
36:23
four eight A two four two one seven, you know
36:26
how I feel about blaming inanimate objects for the bad
36:29
things that people do while holding them, And and to
36:34
a degree I feel that way regarding our drug policy.
36:41
Punish somebody for doing something while under the influence, fine
36:46
with that. You're driving the car under the influence should
36:49
be a crime. Trying to fly an airplane after three martinis.
36:55
May have a problem with that too, even if it's illegal.
37:00
But there is an abstract that says, you know, it's
37:03
just a freaking plant. What we do with it is criminal,
37:09
what we do do to ourselves with it, And maybe
37:17
that's part of the problem is we can't check ourselves
37:20
before we wreck ourselves. We indulge our vices so frequently
37:26
and so voraciously that you know, all this stuff that
37:32
you know fifty years ago, certainly one hundred years ago
37:38
wasn't even a concern to anyone. Why do you think
37:41
that the slogan was have a coke and a smile
37:46
because the marketing agency said, hey, you know, everyone seems
37:49
to be a little perkier after they have a Coca cola. Yeah,
37:53
we figured out why too. Anyway, you said a million
37:58
pounds of cocaine diseased.

39:07
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
39:13
I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:22
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:32
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
39:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

41:01
a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm
41:05
not only in alle of their beauty and kindness, but
41:07
also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds
41:09
who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who
41:13
work hard to provide for their young, or penguins who
41:15
travel up to five hundred miles to secure food for
41:18
their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
41:21
to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
41:24
This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
41:27
the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
41:30
but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
41:33
saving work every day.
41:35
Speaker 12: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
41:36
Speaker 34: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
41:39
They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
41:42
in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
41:44
highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those

42:31
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
42:35
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
42:40
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
42:46
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.

That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
42:53
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
42:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
43:00
when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
43:03
energy Star logo and read the energy guide label, and
43:06
there are day to day things you can do. Lower
43:09
your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,

Speaker 2: Question for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
44:16
Speaker 5: So appears we've got everything working here. Systems have been
44:25
rebooted here three times.
44:27
Speaker 12: Now safe.
44:42
Speaker 5: So four three four eight A two four two one
44:46
seven until you get to us over the phone, which
44:48
appears to be working now. And emails come into JT
44:52
in the morning radio at gmail dot com. Sure I
44:55
called my wife and walk her up? Isn't that what
44:59
you would do there? I want to jump back this morning,
45:04
while we were talking about, obviously the looming por partial
45:08
government shutdown, although it might be less partial than it
45:13
used to be. President's going to use a loophole to
45:16
start furloughing and laying off and firing federal workers during
45:21
the shutdown. And you know, for heaven's sake, if they
45:28
are the non essential members of the government, what's the
45:33
skin right? I know, unemployment is going to go up
45:36
in Maryland and Virginia. Life's rough. Get a helmet. And
45:44
this premise that you know, the only thing we can
45:47
do is create jobs. This leads and feeds the leftist
45:52
viewpoint that the only reason to start a business is
45:55
to make jobs. The only reason to start a government
45:59
program is to make jobs. Well, if the community doesn't
46:04
need the job, then the job's not going to exist.
46:07
And if the community can't afford the job, that's racist.
46:12
Speaker 10: You know.
46:12
Speaker 5: These are the same people that killed Lincoln before he
46:17
could set up an economy for the freed black slaves.
46:22
These are the same people politically and ideologically that passed
46:29
the Permanent Reapportionment Act to keep the Black community from
46:32
getting more congressional representation. And we're the evil doers, We're
46:40
the ones. And at some point it has to break
46:48
free from this idea that our life will be better.
46:52
And I've said this before, and the zelots on the left,
46:55
they'll never admit such a thing, though they know it
46:59
to be true that the idea that you can vote
47:02
your life into balance is a fool's errand at best insane.
47:08
From where I sit, it's a mania and lots of
47:13
column inches that are going to be challenging you. This
47:16
one from Esquire magazine or I guess Esquire Online. So
47:22
I don't think they publish a magazine anymore. There's only

Christians are a threat to Marxists on the left. What
47:43
is the first thing Karl Marx wanted to do? Get said,
47:46
you have to get rid of in the utopia the church.
47:51
You have to insert the government for the church. And
47:54
what does the government run? By voting? We all get
47:58
to vote on this stuff. Could you imagine a church?
48:00
And we probably don't have to because I have a
48:02
feeling there are some of them out there. We're going
48:05
to vote on what we discuss on Sundays. I don't
48:09
want to talk about that passage of the Bible. It
48:11
makes me feel bad, so I vote against it. Who's
48:14
with me? We'll take votes on what scripture says, but
48:24
they do. That's what is happening. We are deciding for
48:30
ourselves what we want and what we don't want. It's
48:33
the ultimate and democratic theocracy. And the interesting thing is
48:43
the people who are fomenting it insists they're not Marxist.
48:47
But this is core of Karl Marx's creed, which is
48:52
to eliminate the church and all of this church based
48:57
supposed violence. Now, allegations coming out of Michigan that this guy,
49:03
we have the clip of the city council candidate now
49:06
first off, city council candidate, which means he wants to
49:09
hold elected office, telling the news that he actually was
49:14
door knocking in Michigan and came across the guy who
49:20
wound up shooting up and then burning down the Mormon
49:24
Church in Michigan over the weekend, and he said, this
49:32
guy just went off on him.
49:34
Speaker 32: I mean, then it got into that, you know, they
49:37
have additional books in their Bible, the Mormon Bible. He goes,
49:40
that's not Christian. They put people above Jesus. And then
49:43
really what I walked away with, you know, the statement
49:44
will never forget was that Mormons are the anti Christ.
49:48
Speaker 5: And so that's the hay now that's being made is
49:54
that this was a battle that was flash pointed in
50:00
in Utah when Charlie Kirk was shot by a kid
50:05
who was raised in a family of followers of Jesus
50:10
Christ of Latter day Saints Church. And then you got
50:16
the guy in North Carolina. Things that you know and
50:22
LGBTQ by your adherents to scripture men laying amongst other
50:29
men as they would with women. But what we're failing
50:37
to do is explain why why is that scriptural? There
50:42
are people who say it doesn't matter, don't give a crap.
50:46
I don't care why it should matter, because it's about
50:49
building a community. You can't build a community if everyone's
50:52
laying with the same gender and not having children. And
51:00
now we're back at Paul Rlick and the population bomb,
51:04
the Marxists, the population control, eugenics, racism, it all winds together.
51:12
There is despicable stuff at the root of all of this,
51:18
and it's tearing us away from the simplicity of the
51:20
Ten Commandments and the simplicity of the American construct, which
51:30
is you have the right to live your life up
51:32
until just before it impacts somebody else's life. And if
51:37
we can get back to a world where you can
51:39
live and let live as long as you don't impact
51:42
somebody else's life, a few hundred years ago by and
51:45
somebody will come up with some way to convince people
51:47
that you going to a different church on Sunday than
51:51
I do impacts my life some way. Because it's all
51:58
about power, and there's all only one power, and how
52:04
you find your connection to your creator, the most powerful
52:09
world word in human history. There all men are created
52:16
equal and they are endowed by their creator. But you
52:21
have to recognize the other people's inalienable rights as well.
52:26
And we're being pulled away from this by Marxist, be
52:30
they Islamist Marxist, or political Marxist or theocratic Marxist, just
52:39
old school bureaucratic Marxist. It doesn't make a difference. This
52:44
is all Mars, all the time, the unfunny marx brother Karl.
52:54
