[00:00.000 --> 00:23.000] Broadcasting Live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the west. You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable radio talk show talk show. [00:30.000 --> 00:42.160] Alright, happy to have you along my fellow Americans, Sam Bushman Live on your radio, hard [00:42.160 --> 00:47.520] hitting news that I refuse to use, no doubt starts now. This by fellow Americans is the [00:47.520 --> 00:53.080] broadcast for February 5th, the year of our Lord 2024. This is hour one of two in the [00:53.080 --> 00:57.720] goal always to protect life, liberty and property and to promote God, family and country on [00:57.720 --> 01:02.200] your radio in the traditions of our Founding Fathers. Yes indeed, we use the blueprint for [01:02.200 --> 01:05.520] liberty, the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution for the United States of America [01:05.520 --> 01:11.080] as our guide. We absolutely embrace the checks and balances brilliantly put in place by the [01:11.080 --> 01:15.520] Founding Fathers and we reject revolution in the lessons of Jesus' revolution. We stand [01:15.520 --> 01:20.000] for peaceful restoration of the greatest country on the face of the earth. Welcome to the broadcast. [01:20.000 --> 01:24.560] Hope you had a delightful God family country filled weekend. Dr. Scott Bradley is with [01:24.560 --> 01:30.160] me. Welcome to the broadcast, sir. Well, howdy, howdy, howdy. Glad to be back here. It [01:30.160 --> 01:36.480] is a new week. Everything is, I just baffled every time we get together how quickly these [01:36.480 --> 01:41.200] things come around again. But time flies when you're having fun, so maybe this is a good [01:41.200 --> 01:47.200] thing to do. Hey, did you guys see the chosen of the weekend, sir? I did not, but I read a [01:47.200 --> 01:55.520] whole bunch of stuff on it. And I tell you, there are people that are passionately hateful [01:55.520 --> 02:02.000] of it. There are people that are over the top passionately in favor of it. And I've read [02:02.000 --> 02:09.680] so much by the haters and it just doesn't make any sense to me. But you probably saw it out [02:09.680 --> 02:18.000] like your report. I did see it. And it was incredible. I've heard that from those that [02:18.000 --> 02:25.760] were lovers of it. But tell me I am one of the lovers of it. I get the, I get the concern [02:25.760 --> 02:30.560] and the issues that people have. And I understand their hesitation on certain things. For example, [02:30.560 --> 02:34.960] I know there was a gay flag on set around June that they got kind of, you know, in a [02:34.960 --> 02:39.280] TIFF about and everything else. And I get that, you know, you can debate whether Jesus [02:39.280 --> 02:45.040] should be portrayed or anybody should be an actor representing Jesus or if that sacrilegious. [02:45.040 --> 02:50.240] I mean, I get all the controversies about it, right? But I'm kind of a simpleton, Dr. Bradley. [02:50.240 --> 02:54.880] I'm not very intelligent. So I just kind of do my simpleton ways. And here's how it works for me. [02:54.880 --> 03:00.080] I go in there and I listen and I open my heart and I open my mind and I say a prayer. [03:00.720 --> 03:05.760] And I say, Lord, if this is good, have it move me. Let the Spirit convey to me the value. And if [03:05.760 --> 03:10.960] it's not good, let me know clearly. Tell me right from wrong, Lord, I trust you and I believe in you [03:10.960 --> 03:17.120] and I, and I need to know because I, and so if the Spirit of God is stronger when I'm done than when [03:17.120 --> 03:23.040] I start, I'm convinced it's a good thing. And if I think it's great, but I along the way get the [03:23.040 --> 03:28.720] little pangs of warning, I say it's not good. And so that's kind of how simple I am. It's six [03:28.720 --> 03:34.960] cents oriented in a way. Holy Ghost driven, if you will. And I just simply say that, you know what, [03:34.960 --> 03:41.280] every time I go, I am touched by the authenticity to the best of our ability without having facts, [03:41.280 --> 03:45.520] like we weren't there so we don't know. But their effort to follow the scriptures, [03:45.520 --> 03:49.600] their effort to bring out things, their effort to research, I'll give you one quick example to make [03:49.600 --> 03:55.920] the point. They have, and I don't want to be a spoiler, but I'll try to avoid the spoilers, [03:55.920 --> 04:03.120] but they have a, where Jesus is, is not born yet. And it's four years before Christ, if you will. [04:05.440 --> 04:12.320] And Mary comes to Elizabeth and Mary's pregnant and you kind of go, wait a minute, [04:12.320 --> 04:17.840] how do you get four years and she's pregnant? What? Well, when you study it and figure it out, [04:17.840 --> 04:21.120] it's because the calendars are different. Things didn't start when we thought they did if you [04:21.120 --> 04:25.360] really research history. Very interesting little detail, but the point is they've gone to [04:25.360 --> 04:30.800] painstaking research to get it right. Are they perfect? No, is it, you know, [04:30.800 --> 04:33.520] later down the road when we live in God, and if we could see the whole scene, [04:33.520 --> 04:37.920] well, we have it accurate, probably not, because we're human and we're doing our very best without [04:37.920 --> 04:43.520] facts, without details. But we're creating from the scriptures to the best of our ability this [04:43.520 --> 04:49.920] portrayal of the most, one of the most important events in history. And despite the mistakes, [04:49.920 --> 04:54.720] despite the errors of men, despite the humanistic or human part of this thing, we're all human, [04:55.360 --> 05:00.560] I think they have done a stellar job. And when I go to it, there are touching scenes that give me [05:00.560 --> 05:05.760] faith in Christ, hope in Christ, give me a little bit of better understanding about what the issues [05:05.760 --> 05:10.080] may have been surrounding decisions made by certain people. The list just goes on and on. [05:11.440 --> 05:17.840] And so when I get done, I have a stronger feeling of Christ in my life than when I started. That [05:17.840 --> 05:23.360] tells a simpleton like me by their fruits, shall you know them, that it's good. So I went to the [05:23.360 --> 05:27.680] theater and I watched the first three episodes of, I think it's the fourth season, right? And it [05:27.680 --> 05:34.640] was tremendous. And I went for a bunch of reasons. One, I want to see it right away. Two, I believe [05:34.640 --> 05:39.280] that we need to fund the kind of things that are, look, of all the material that's out there, is [05:39.280 --> 05:46.720] it chosen perfect? No. But have they, I mean, is it worth seeing? Absolutely. It's an honest [05:46.720 --> 05:51.520] depiction. You know, Jesus Christ, superstar, some of these other things in the past, in my mind, [05:51.520 --> 05:57.200] were a little bit of a mockery, not intentional to bring out Christ or to focus on Christ. [05:57.200 --> 06:01.280] This, I believe is a genuine attempt. And that's just my opinion. I know people have different [06:01.280 --> 06:05.120] opinions, but I'm going to give it to you straight as I think it doctor. And that's what I see. That's [06:05.120 --> 06:10.000] what I've, that's my experience. Now, I will say this, the headline says this, [06:10.880 --> 06:15.840] the chosen season four takes second place at box office. [06:16.160 --> 06:21.440] So there you have it. What do you, what do you say to that doctor? I mean, I'm not completely [06:21.440 --> 06:26.800] alone in my beliefs on this thing. No, I, I'm, I'm confident everything I've read about it. It was [06:26.800 --> 06:32.800] almost, I mean, it was second place by long ways though. I mean, it was quite a ways away from the [06:32.800 --> 06:38.080] first place. But the fact of the matter is, here's a few things I like about at least one. I know we [06:38.080 --> 06:44.880] got a good break for a minute here. But, you know, virtually everything I have ever seen put out by [06:44.960 --> 06:53.360] an institution or Hollywood church has put it out. Jesus is a cardboard cutout, GQ model, right? [06:53.360 --> 06:58.400] I mean, he looks like, I mean, you go, you go take the cardboard cutout, stand it in the middle of [06:58.400 --> 07:04.240] a crowd, or in the middle of the people he's with. And, and he's wrapped in robes from head to toe. [07:04.240 --> 07:08.320] It looks like you've got tangled up in the drapes. And he's dragging him around. He's going to need [07:08.320 --> 07:12.800] to train the people behind him to carry the robes behind him so they don't get so dusty. It's pure [07:12.800 --> 07:20.960] white. This is a real human that's there. He's wearing the garb of the traditional people and the [07:22.000 --> 07:29.360] most people would wear in their daily life. And his face got dirty. He's sweat. And he's among the [07:29.360 --> 07:36.240] people. And he feels with them. And he acts with, he danced in the first season, if you remember [07:36.240 --> 07:43.120] that when at a marriage ceremony. And that's right. The kinds of things, it just to me, [07:44.160 --> 07:51.440] I think that we sometimes, we make Jesus this, oh, I don't know, a cardboard cutout, like I say, [07:51.440 --> 07:56.240] that's a GQ model. You know, I don't know, GQ, I don't know if I've ever seen a GQ magazine, [07:56.240 --> 08:00.480] but I've, I've heard of him, you know, where they have these, these perfect features and the [08:00.480 --> 08:06.000] perfect beard cut and the perfect haircut. And this Jesus mixes it up with the people. [08:06.000 --> 08:13.040] He stands among them. He embraces them. He helps the people and they weep with him and he weeps with [08:13.040 --> 08:20.320] them. And that to me is absolutely a closer depiction, I believe, to what our Savior did. [08:20.320 --> 08:27.760] He walked among us on the dusty paths of Jerusalem and well, the whole Palestinian area. And he, [08:28.720 --> 08:36.640] he ate the common food, the barley bread and the fishes. He was, he was there to experience life [08:36.640 --> 08:42.640] as, as those he was saving were experienced life. He was in a country that was oppressed, [08:42.640 --> 08:49.040] a country that had been captured by the Romans, a country that had been thrashed and beaten up [08:49.040 --> 08:56.800] for decades now. Again, they kind of, I'd not say deserved it, but they, they kind of broke the code [08:56.880 --> 09:01.120] that Moses gave them to begin with. They were righteous. They were going to get milk and honey. [09:01.120 --> 09:04.960] If they weren't, they're going to get their butts kicked and they did have their butts kicked [09:04.960 --> 09:14.080] lots of times. And so that's to me is amazing. No institution that I have ever seen or no Hollywood, [09:14.080 --> 09:22.480] no movie, no church, no nothing has ever put up any kind of depiction of the Savior that looked [09:22.480 --> 09:28.800] anything like what real life was. And I, I think that was fantastic. I, I do believe that, [09:29.680 --> 09:36.640] you know, this, this gay flag thing, holy cow, it was a little three-inch flag standing on somebody's [09:37.200 --> 09:42.160] audio equipment or some stupid thing. Yeah. And so here's the point, they're making it into a big [09:42.160 --> 09:47.840] issue as if somehow the crew and the whatever, you know, or promoting the gay agenda that is not true [09:47.840 --> 09:51.760] at all. And what they want to do is get you caught in the mire. No matter what you choose, [09:51.760 --> 09:55.440] you can't do right. And what they're saying is, look, somebody put up a little stupid flag [09:55.440 --> 09:59.040] that whether they should have put it up or not, we're not going to go ahead and get into that. [09:59.040 --> 10:02.960] We back all people. If everybody wants to come unto Christ, that's good. This is a movie about [10:02.960 --> 10:07.440] Christ. And they really sidesteped it like that. And they make you believe that they promoted the [10:07.440 --> 10:11.760] gay agenda. I don't see it that way. I see it that they just simply wanted to avoid the controversy [10:11.760 --> 10:16.000] and the derailing and the media put a magnifying glass on that thing and pretend that it was [10:16.000 --> 10:21.760] something that it clearly was not. I saw a picture of the flag. It was on a little tripod [10:21.760 --> 10:27.040] kind of thing stuck in the leg of it or something like that. And you ask yourself, okay, so you've [10:27.040 --> 10:32.960] got a Bible probably sit somewhere on yours close to you. I've got one. Do you think Bible [10:32.960 --> 10:40.240] was printed? Do you think that Bible was printed 100% by true believing Christians? No, [10:40.240 --> 10:46.080] then get into the discussion. Jesus is not, he's not an evangelical Christian in this movie. The [10:46.080 --> 10:56.560] man that depicts Jesus is a Catholic, I think. But I mean, the fact of the matter is, we interact [10:56.560 --> 11:01.280] with people every day. And I've been considered to not be Christian. And it doesn't mean that we [11:01.280 --> 11:07.120] agree with everything they do, whether we're kind to them or not. That's right. But the fact is that [11:07.600 --> 11:14.080] if you said, well, my pastor is the only one that's that's on track and everybody else is going to [11:14.080 --> 11:19.360] hell and I'm not going to buy my groceries from anybody that doesn't go to my pastor's church or [11:19.360 --> 11:24.880] whatever, figure it out. I mean, you can see I'm making a ludicrous statement. But the fact of the [11:24.880 --> 11:35.600] matter is, I don't think they're giving a voice to the LGBTQWXYZ movement. I think somebody saw a flag, [11:35.600 --> 11:42.080] made a big deal out of it. And maybe, maybe somebody else was wearing a cross that they didn't [11:42.080 --> 11:48.480] agree with or whatever. I mean, people are just yeah, they want to divide and derail from the success [11:48.480 --> 11:53.600] of the movie Satan wants to absolutely confuse everyone over this. I'm telling you right now, [11:53.600 --> 11:59.200] I think it's a brilliant depiction. Like I say, I'm not telling you that it's 100% accurate. It's the best. [12:00.080 --> 12:05.680] I don't know what you want to call it scriptorial guided guests we can deliver about the Savior's [12:05.680 --> 12:10.560] life and who he was and what he stood for and what he did. And you know, a lot of people that I've [12:10.560 --> 12:14.800] heard of watch the first one and because it's confusing at the first, they kind of stop and go, [12:14.800 --> 12:20.640] oh, that's kind of boring. You gotta, in my opinion, watch the first one, watch several of them and [12:20.640 --> 12:26.000] then go back and watch the first one again because the knowledge that you gain, the attention to detail [12:26.000 --> 12:31.040] that you discover is just incredible. And so at first, you know, there's a lot of people on the [12:31.040 --> 12:35.520] scene. You're not really sure who's who. You're not kind of familiar with the characters and [12:35.520 --> 12:40.000] they start out with each episode in the beginning, what they kind of snap back to something BC [12:40.000 --> 12:45.440] with a relevant discussion relating to the Savior's life. So the point is to tap early scripture [12:45.440 --> 12:50.880] and prophecy about the Savior and kind of highlight that with the episode at hand. That can be a [12:50.880 --> 12:55.040] little bit confusing too, if you don't know the scriptures that well. And so at first it kind of can [12:55.040 --> 12:58.560] seem confusing, but you got to give a little bit of chance. You got to settle in and understand [12:58.560 --> 13:03.440] the characters. You got to, and then you start to realize the genius of this where they literally [13:03.440 --> 13:08.560] put real situations in front of you and how the Savior and respond to them. Why did he heal some [13:08.560 --> 13:14.160] and not others is one of the great questions. And it picks that throughout the whole series. [13:14.160 --> 13:18.000] It's just incredible about the reasoning and the thought, and are we right on every one of them? [13:18.000 --> 13:22.800] Of course not. But we do know that the Savior healed some and not others. And it's a very [13:22.880 --> 13:28.240] honest attempt to answer those questions. Anyway, just brilliant in my opinion in its delivery and [13:28.240 --> 13:32.960] its effort and there will be as it continues to gain more and more and more momentum. [13:32.960 --> 13:37.760] Bringing people to Christ, it's going to get more and more attacked. Just write it down. [13:37.760 --> 13:43.760] But for now know the chosen season four takes second place in the box office. It's incredible in [13:43.760 --> 13:48.560] terms of its delivery. Now here's the cool part. So they have now realized the value of the theaters [13:48.560 --> 13:53.760] and the value of. And so what they do is they have a, I don't know what you want to call it, [13:53.760 --> 13:58.000] if you could call it a chosen marathon or whatever, but they show three episodes at a time in the [13:58.000 --> 14:02.640] theaters. And it takes literally like three and a half hours or something like that. So it's a [14:02.640 --> 14:08.720] ripping long good thing. And they released the first three episodes of season four. I just watched [14:08.720 --> 14:13.280] it last Saturday, two days ago. And then in a couple of a month or so, then they're releasing [14:13.280 --> 14:17.120] the next three in theaters and then the next three in theaters. And you can really watch it in theaters. [14:17.920 --> 14:22.960] A lot of people are waiting to do it at home for free. I'm doing it at the theater for a reason. [14:22.960 --> 14:29.440] I want to make this go viral. I want to fund this. I want to make, okay. And so we really need to [14:29.440 --> 14:34.320] think of it that way. If we want the right things to take flight in America, we better back them. [14:34.320 --> 14:39.360] And we've got an incredible opportunity now, doctor. Well, it sounds like some really good, [14:40.480 --> 14:47.040] a good wisdom behind your plan. And I just don't know where the theaters are. I think I [14:47.040 --> 14:51.120] kind of live in an agnostic area or something like that. I'm going to have to look kind of hard [14:51.120 --> 14:57.040] to find it, I'm afraid. But that's the thing with me is that, you know, I kind of live at the end of [14:57.040 --> 15:03.040] the row in terms of the crops that are planted. And we have a university that's a big footprint [15:03.040 --> 15:09.760] in our community. And it really does. It has created an agnostic kind of atmosphere in our [15:10.320 --> 15:16.880] in our little towns. You know, it's interesting. There's so many things. I was just reflecting [15:16.880 --> 15:23.200] as you were talking, so many of the the little vignettes that happened that that I said, oh, [15:23.200 --> 15:27.760] that's my favorite. No, no, no, this one's my favorite. Oh, well, what about that one? And you [15:27.760 --> 15:36.240] know, it's really hard for me to be able to say, wow, that that's the one, you know, it's not. [15:36.240 --> 15:40.560] There's just one little snippet after another that they seem to really hit a home run on. [15:42.560 --> 15:47.440] And the fact is that, I mean, there's some of them are just very quiet, private moments. Like [15:47.440 --> 15:52.560] you think about Nicodemus meeting with Jesus and accept a man be born of the water in the [15:52.560 --> 15:57.840] spirit. And you know, that little exchange here is one of the wise men of his day. [15:58.720 --> 16:03.280] The, I mean, he went by night. I guess he was kind of ashamed or something in the scriptures, [16:03.840 --> 16:09.520] I think he wasn't ashamed. I think he was scared. That's probably true of the repercussions. [16:09.520 --> 16:13.920] It's interesting to me. People say, Oh, well, we hope Nicodemus came around. Nicodemus was one of [16:13.920 --> 16:18.880] the guys that came and got took care of the dead body. I think he absolutely had already come around. [16:18.880 --> 16:24.480] So in the, in the chosen, what it depicts in the first episode, it shows Nicodemus try to [16:24.480 --> 16:30.480] cast these evil spirits out of what we know as Mary and Magdalene. But that's a, well, anyway, [16:30.480 --> 16:35.600] go ahead. That's something they kind of wrote in. It is something they wrote in. And this is my [16:35.600 --> 16:39.440] point though that, you know what, they did their very best though to put things in ways that would [16:39.440 --> 16:44.640] be understandable. Are they right on this? We don't know some of those things. And you could say, [16:44.640 --> 16:48.880] well, that license to put things in there, we don't know is the wrong part. I know, but you've got to [16:48.880 --> 16:54.320] tell a story and how much historical fiction can we put together versus what, you know, how close [16:54.320 --> 16:59.120] can we stick to the narrative, but yet tell the story. And so when, when these things are done, [16:59.120 --> 17:02.240] I don't believe they're done to change the narrative. They're done really to try to make a [17:02.240 --> 17:06.560] holistic picture that you can understand and see. And otherwise we're missing too much information [17:06.560 --> 17:11.600] a lot of times. But in the first one, Nicodemus basically fails to cast out demons out of Mary. [17:12.960 --> 17:17.440] And so it basically shows the whole establishment. They put their faith in hope and Nicodemus. He was [17:17.440 --> 17:22.160] the teacher of teachers, if you will. And he couldn't get it done. And he walked away just marveling [17:22.160 --> 17:27.680] going, you know what, maybe some things are out of the reach of human, you know, protection or [17:27.680 --> 17:32.800] intervention. There's nothing we can humanly do for her now. And that's a very interesting [17:32.800 --> 17:37.360] statement for him to make because eventually then at the end of season, or the end of episode one, [17:37.360 --> 17:41.040] and I feel like I'm not really breaking anything now. It's been out so long. If you haven't seen it, [17:41.040 --> 17:44.480] I'm not spoiling anything for you. Your spoiling is not going to see it. But [17:46.080 --> 17:55.280] the Savior puts his hand on Mary's and heals her. And so now we know that it's beyond human [17:55.280 --> 18:01.360] ability to do so according to Nicodemus himself. And that sets the stage then for Nicodemus to [18:01.360 --> 18:05.920] learn about who the Savior is and understand and believe. And I'm convinced that Nicodemus [18:05.920 --> 18:09.520] believed I just think he was scared to let others know for fear of the retribution. It's kind of [18:09.520 --> 18:13.360] like a lot of the slave owners would release their slaves on their deaths because they were [18:13.360 --> 18:17.680] really against slavery. But they did their best to be good to their slaves and kind of keep it [18:17.680 --> 18:21.040] under wraps and tell their death because they were fearful of the repercussions. You know, do you [18:21.040 --> 18:24.800] want your plantation to be destroyed? And do you want everything to melt down? Do you want the slaves [18:25.120 --> 18:29.280] to be free but yet not have any ability to care for themselves? I mean, it's complicated [18:29.280 --> 18:33.280] issues. And I'm not defending slavery. Don't misunderstand the point. I'm just telling you that [18:34.080 --> 18:38.160] in circumstances of life oftentimes things are done for different reasons than you may think. [18:38.880 --> 18:44.240] And so anyway, I go off on all these different things because there's so many touching instances [18:44.240 --> 18:49.120] of examples of and then, you know, Nicodemus goes to Mary after the fact and says, hey, [18:49.120 --> 18:55.680] what happened here? Do you remember me? Yes, she does. And you know, what what we're not. I don't know. [18:55.680 --> 19:01.760] I don't even know his name, but I know he has a story of God because of what he did for me. [19:02.640 --> 19:08.080] And so over and over do we see this faith filled understanding of, you know what, I don't know the [19:08.080 --> 19:12.880] whole story. I don't understand how all this is happening. And I don't understand who he is. And I [19:12.880 --> 19:17.120] think that was genuinely the understanding there's, hey, there's something unique about this this [19:17.200 --> 19:22.320] Jesus, but we just can't get our arms around it. We don't dare call him the chosen one because if [19:22.320 --> 19:27.760] we do it sacrilege, I mean, it's we're we're off the rails. How dare we? On the other hand, [19:28.400 --> 19:33.520] we don't see any other, but we see all things pointing to that reality. Anyway, just incredible [19:33.520 --> 19:37.280] stuff. Sorry to keep going on about this, Dr. Bradley. I am one of the passionate supporters [19:37.280 --> 19:42.720] of the chosen, as you can tell. No, I can't believe it a minute, but you know, it's interesting. I, [19:43.680 --> 19:50.000] you know, this is kind of maybe shifting gears, but maybe not. One of the things about me that I see [19:50.000 --> 19:55.920] in the scriptures is a lot of the people that are kind of always, oh, that guy's really off the track. [19:55.920 --> 20:01.840] He's broken, whatever. And maybe I identify with me, man, once I, maybe I do. I mean, [20:01.840 --> 20:07.440] you think about the the prodigal son. I mean, here's the faithful son that was ever there and [20:07.440 --> 20:12.080] everything like that. Prodigal son went out squandered his inheritance, everything like that. [20:12.080 --> 20:17.520] Father welcomed him back. And the prodigal son was the one griping and grumbling and moaning in [20:17.520 --> 20:23.680] the background. Who's greater sin? You know, I mean, we have, you know, I would love to be welcome back. [20:24.320 --> 20:30.080] And you look at the woman at the well, the Samaritan woman, I mean, here's a woman that has a very [20:30.080 --> 20:36.560] unpleasant life. And there's Jesus. I came to talk to you. Yeah, here's the one I wanted to see. [20:36.560 --> 20:43.520] And it's like, you are the one, you know, kind of thing. I mean, I think that sometimes the most [20:43.520 --> 20:50.160] broken people can give the greater gratitude because some people think. Then there's serious [20:50.160 --> 20:54.560] hope for me, doctor, this is good news. I would say, now, here's the deal. A lot of people think [20:54.560 --> 20:59.200] they got it made in the shade, so to speak. You know, I set up chairs at church every week and I [21:00.080 --> 21:05.200] gave the opening prayer last Sunday say, I mean, I didn't. Okay. But this is what people start. [21:05.200 --> 21:09.520] They think that, Oh, I'm maybe I'm a little holier than now. I took a loaf of bread to my [21:09.520 --> 21:14.400] neighbor or whatever. And it's kind of like you get a little, little, I'm not, I'm not saying those [21:14.400 --> 21:19.120] are bad activities. But what I'm saying is that a lot of times we get, think we're going to make [21:19.120 --> 21:25.600] it without the Lord. And I got news for everybody. It's by his grace that we're saved. And I don't [21:25.600 --> 21:33.040] care how stinking good you think you are, you're not good enough. And sometimes we get a little bit [21:33.120 --> 21:37.840] self-sufficient. We get a little arrogant. We get a little bit maybe proud, shall we say? [21:38.560 --> 21:43.680] Now, I'm not saying that I don't have a pride problem. I'm saying that sometimes, well, [21:44.640 --> 21:50.640] pride to see George Foreman movie highlights your point so well. George, his mom is basically [21:50.640 --> 21:54.160] saying, thank God that you're able to do this thing for us. Bring us food and beginning they [21:54.160 --> 21:59.040] were starving. And so as George Foreman makes it as a boxer and stuff, he has plenty of food in this [21:59.040 --> 22:04.000] big old thing. And they have a party and the mom's like, you know, thank God for this. And [22:04.000 --> 22:08.880] George is like, God, I got this money. I'm the one that got you this rip of food. I'm the [22:08.880 --> 22:14.400] butt. And his mom's just like shaking her head going, oh boy. Well, anyway, eventually George Foreman [22:14.400 --> 22:19.120] comes around. We're all going to have that moment, doctor. Well, there's no question. Like I was [22:19.120 --> 22:24.960] saying, the pride is so easily seen in someone else, but so difficult to see in yourself. And [22:25.040 --> 22:31.200] that's one of the things that I like about, well, I mean, obviously we haven't had this portion, [22:31.200 --> 22:36.320] I don't think yet in the chosen, but, but when Jesus is sitting at the last supper and he says, [22:36.320 --> 22:42.640] one of these guys is going to betray me. And the, the introspection that everybody immediately does [22:42.640 --> 22:48.160] is Lord is that I? He said, I see instead of saying, Oh, I'll bet it's him. Oh, I always thought [22:48.160 --> 22:54.400] he was kind of a snake. No, they looked inside. And I think that's so many lessons to be had [22:54.960 --> 22:59.680] in the scriptures that will help us look inside. Let's look. I don't know if they did this in the [22:59.680 --> 23:04.960] ones you just saw, but the rich young man that came and said, Hey, how do I get an eternal life? [23:04.960 --> 23:09.040] Jesus says to this, this and this. Hey, I've been doing this my whole life. Jesus says, [23:09.040 --> 23:16.240] sell all you have and come follow me. He called the shot that that man needed to have called. Now, [23:16.240 --> 23:20.960] it doesn't mean, you know, riches is your problem and it's my problem and it's everybody's problem. [23:21.600 --> 23:27.920] But, but he saw what the man needed. Now, my opinion is it's, this is a bigger thing than a lot of [23:27.920 --> 23:33.840] people give it. I personally believe, and this is my speculation is all and people can criticize [23:33.840 --> 23:39.520] it and say, no, it ain't that and I'm okay with that. But I personally think that Jesus loved this [23:39.520 --> 23:45.360] young man because of his goodness and he was calling him to the apostleship. He was calling to be [23:45.440 --> 23:53.760] with the 12th and he was saying, Hey, sell everything come big with us. We need someone of your character [23:53.760 --> 24:00.160] here. And the young man went away sorrowing because he had many riches. But the fact of the matter is, [24:00.880 --> 24:06.240] where do we fall that way? I mean, could go. I mean, he could absolutely no question. Make the call [24:06.240 --> 24:12.240] of the shot. Hey, Bradley, this is what you need her. I mean, there's a big long list, right? [24:12.240 --> 24:17.040] But, but that's the thing is we need to do that introspection with help of God and figure out what [24:17.040 --> 24:23.120] it'll take to make us better followers, better disciples. Amen. We also need to realize too that [24:23.120 --> 24:27.440] man went away and sorrow. We don't know the rest of the story though. We think, Oh my gosh, [24:27.440 --> 24:33.120] he, he's lost. He went away. He's gone. I don't necessarily believe that either. He might have come [24:33.120 --> 24:38.640] back. He might have changed. He might have, let's not, let's leave the judgment up to the Lord is what [24:38.640 --> 24:42.560] I'm trying to get out. All right, Hank, tight.

US gas prices jumped six cents [25:32.560 --> 25:40.000] this week to a national average of $3.24.

They've been encouraging President Biden [26:31.360 --> 26:35.040] to come after our state's rights. They've been talking about federalizing our National Guard, [26:35.040 --> 26:39.280] which would be the first time in American history that we would have a president that [26:39.280 --> 26:43.360] would pay soldiers to stand down to actually not protect America.

[30:19.360 --> 30:24.880] Alright, back with you live ladies and gentlemen. The chosen season four takes second at the box [30:24.880 --> 30:30.240] office, continuing to shock those who don't believe in Christ. I'll tell you that right now, [30:30.240 --> 30:34.080] but I'll like it today as we can talk about the chosen for days because it's just wonderful [30:34.080 --> 30:39.680] stuff. But let's move along to other topics. And we'll keep mentioning the chosen as it makes sense [30:39.680 --> 30:45.040] to do so on the show. But for now, shame is the only way I know how to describe this. [30:46.320 --> 30:55.280] So I put shame colon at the head of the headline. Senator's unveil border deal to unlock the Ukraine. [30:56.160 --> 31:00.560] Now Karen Emergent wrote this piece, and I don't really even understand the headline. [31:00.560 --> 31:06.800] Because look, I say shame on them all for this. After months of talks, a small group [31:07.520 --> 31:13.120] of Republicans and Democrats produced the text of a supposed plan to crack down [31:13.920 --> 31:21.760] on migration, but it faces an uphill battle for enactment. Anyway, it's 118.3 million [31:21.760 --> 31:25.600] dollar deal or whatever like this. And it's just billion dollar deal, I guess. [31:26.160 --> 31:32.080] Yeah, let's see. I guess nothing can be in the millions these days. Yeah, it's an 18.3 [31:32.080 --> 31:35.920] million dollar deal. Yeah, I guess so. Wow. [31:37.680 --> 31:43.120] Anyway, and the bottom line with this whole thing is they somehow believe that they can, in my opinion, [31:43.120 --> 31:48.080] do the disaster. And let me explain what I mean by that. Mike Johnson, another said, look, [31:48.080 --> 31:51.920] what we're going to do is we're going to do single issue bills at a time, transparently, [31:51.920 --> 31:55.360] up or down votes. And we're going to vote for and fund the proper role of government. [31:55.360 --> 31:57.920] We get a bunch of bills. We're going to do them one at a time. We're going to rock and roll. [31:59.440 --> 32:03.760] That is the real plan, because then you can know where people stand on given issues, [32:03.760 --> 32:08.480] and it can be flat out, up or down on a single issue vote. That's the way to do it. And the way [32:08.480 --> 32:13.440] our founding fathers intended it to be. Now, what they do is they create these hominovis spending [32:13.440 --> 32:20.400] bills. And in this case, it's not too many issues, maybe, but they've merged together. [32:20.400 --> 32:25.600] Why do I need to deal with the border of the United States and the Ukraine and either [32:25.600 --> 32:32.800] yay or nay on the subterfuge on the, on the confusion of this thing? Okay, I don't want to have [32:32.800 --> 32:37.600] these two bills linked together at all. And that's why some are so critical, such as myself, [32:37.600 --> 32:42.880] and they're saying it's a non starter, it's not going to pass for this very reason, doctor. [32:42.880 --> 32:48.720] This is insane. I don't want to fund any money for the Ukraine, but I do want to shut down illegal [32:48.720 --> 32:54.640] activity on our border. I can't get this done with the current landscape. The Republicans [32:55.520 --> 32:57.440] are trying to now shove down our throats, right? [33:00.000 --> 33:05.040] There is so much wrong with this bill that we could take a couple, two or three hours [33:05.040 --> 33:12.080] really looking at this. This is made by traders and cowards, and they're trading our freedom away. [33:12.080 --> 33:16.480] I mean, first of all, the Ukraine thing should not be linked to anything because it does not deserve [33:16.560 --> 33:23.120] to be on the table at all end of discussion. It is no longer an issue that should even be [33:23.120 --> 33:27.840] discussed. It never should have been to begin with, but let's stop it now. I mean, the billions, [33:27.840 --> 33:31.760] 60 billion, if I recall correctly, that they're going to send to Ukraine, they've been doing [33:31.760 --> 33:37.520] just fine without us. I mean, come on, back off, baby. The idea, okay, here's the, here's the thing, [33:37.520 --> 33:42.640] though. This is absolutely absurd. They're going to canonize, if you will, they're going to make legal [33:43.440 --> 33:49.440] 5,000 illegals crossing the border a day, folks, you know, they say, oh, it's a million and a half [33:50.000 --> 33:55.520] illegals that's going to be made legal with this thing. No, do the math, 365 times 5,000. [33:55.520 --> 34:02.880] It's over 1.8 million. This is an absolute sellout of American sovereignty, and these [34:02.880 --> 34:09.120] embecilic buffoons that put this on the table should all be removed from office. There is not a [34:09.200 --> 34:14.960] shred of value, and here's the deal. We're horse trading all the time. Hey, I'll give you this, [34:14.960 --> 34:19.680] if you'll give me that, and everybody's at the goody box trying to get their little hog feed, [34:20.240 --> 34:25.760] and the fact of the matter is, in the process, we're losing everything the nation stands for. [34:25.760 --> 34:30.480] There isn't a shred of authority to do the sellout that they're doing with this thing. [34:31.280 --> 34:37.360] Biden said, oh, we're going to make the border more secure. Bravo's the era. That, one dot eight [34:37.360 --> 34:44.160] million people a year can come in illegally, and we're good with that. Yeah, they're saying [34:44.160 --> 34:48.080] it's really, they're guessing it's more like two million every ever since Joe Biden started this. [34:48.080 --> 34:54.240] It's over six million now. But the number they're coming up with is just under that, Sam, [34:54.960 --> 35:00.160] and this idea that we're going to send billions upon billions and the whole Ukrainian thing is [35:00.160 --> 35:06.560] our fault. I mean, we could go into that at great detail also, but we are the ones that started that, [35:06.560 --> 35:13.040] and it didn't just start with the coup that Obama supported in 2014. It started when we started our [35:13.040 --> 35:19.360] inextricable march to the Russian border with our NATO alignments, and we continue to make that [35:19.360 --> 35:24.160] march. And it got to the point, Putin says, I'm drawing a line in the sand. I'm not going to lose [35:24.160 --> 35:31.840] flat of livestock. I'm not going to lose my port. And that's the problem, kids, is every time we turn [35:31.840 --> 35:38.640] around, we are the one poking the bear in the nose. And I'm not talking about critical security aid [35:38.640 --> 35:45.040] to the to the Ukraine. I don't believe that it's critical or security aid. I believe it's [35:45.040 --> 35:52.400] literally funding unconstitutional unjust war, putting enemies in the driver's seat with with [35:52.400 --> 35:58.320] funding and training and arms and to just wreak more havoc, doctor. We're the biggest exporter of [35:58.320 --> 36:05.600] death and destruction in the world. And when you say, oh, man, and it's horrid. Trust me, [36:05.600 --> 36:10.880] the heartbreak that happens when our three of our service members get killed in a rocket attack [36:10.880 --> 36:16.080] that's in Jordan. And what what do we do? First of all, we've got them where they shouldn't be. [36:16.720 --> 36:21.920] We put our people in harm's way is what we did. You say, well, you know, we've got to have a [36:21.920 --> 36:27.040] presence around the way. We're out there thumbing our nose at everybody. We start enough fights. [36:27.040 --> 36:30.720] Sooner or later, somebody's going to throw a punch. Somebody's going to get their nose broken. [36:30.720 --> 36:36.560] It just happened. They killed three of our people. And so now we've we've got a Houthi thing going [36:36.560 --> 36:41.360] and we've got but why would you if you're a Republican or a constitutional leader of any kind, [36:41.360 --> 36:47.040] why would you be willing to even allow or consider two two things to happen? One, these two bills [36:47.040 --> 36:50.800] to be together. What does the border have to do with the Ukraine? And the answer? Nothing. [36:51.760 --> 36:55.360] So why are they together? And why are they allowing that? That's problem one. [36:55.360 --> 37:01.680] Problem two is why are we at least say that Senate? Listen, Senate Republicans and Democrats [37:02.480 --> 37:09.600] on Sunday and okay, the Senate's not even the right body for these kind of funding bills to [37:09.600 --> 37:15.520] originate in. Constitution doesn't need to originate in the House. Article one, section seven, [37:15.520 --> 37:21.520] go read it again, kids. I mean, then here's the deal. It's not just Ukraine. First of all, [37:21.520 --> 37:26.800] we're more interested in Ukraine's border than we are in our own. What an absurd thing, [37:26.800 --> 37:31.600] same with Korea, same with Iraq, same with, you know, all across. And we're in 130 nations [37:31.600 --> 37:37.280] militarily concerned. We're about their borders than our own. And so it's not just 60 billion [37:37.280 --> 37:44.400] for Ukraine. It's 14 billion for Israel. There's another issue. And then we got 10 billion for [37:44.400 --> 37:48.960] humanitarian assistance for civilians. Why are we doing that? Why are we dealing with Israel? [37:48.960 --> 37:53.120] Why are we okay? And the point is when they get into these multi billion dollar omnibus spending [37:53.120 --> 37:58.160] bills, everybody puts their own port their own whatever agenda in there. And so do you want to [37:58.160 --> 38:02.480] support the border? Oh, well, then you should have voted for this bill. No, I don't want to support [38:02.480 --> 38:07.440] the border at the expense of Ukraine and spending 118 billion dollars on stuff I disagree with. [38:07.440 --> 38:11.840] I want up or down single issue votes, doctor. And until we get there, you can't be clear about [38:11.840 --> 38:17.600] anything except for you have to vote no all the time. Well, that that is the problem is that they put [38:17.680 --> 38:25.520] this in one of those, you know, conundrums that that basically you give all bad answers. [38:25.520 --> 38:29.440] You know, it's a multiple choice question. Would you want to be shocked, hanged, stabbed or dragged [38:29.440 --> 38:34.640] to death behind a truck? None of the above is good. Yeah, that's right. And so I don't want to [38:34.640 --> 38:38.000] fund this bill at all. I say everybody should vote no one. So you guys are off your rock. And I [38:38.000 --> 38:44.000] think this is a chance for the constitutional, if there are any house Republicans to stand up and [38:44.000 --> 38:47.680] jealously guard their authority and say, look, first off, this bill's dead on arrival. [38:48.240 --> 38:51.840] And let me explain to you the reasons that it's dead on arrival. Number one, we're supposed to come [38:51.840 --> 38:59.120] up with the spending bills, not the Senate. Okay. Second issue is, hey, a small group of senators [38:59.120 --> 39:04.320] meeting with the president to hammer this bill out. No, thank you. That's not how it works. Third, [39:04.320 --> 39:08.720] we're dealing with single issue bills. And we're not going to fund the Ukraine when we're talking [39:08.720 --> 39:12.640] about our border. Okay, we're going to deal with our border. And we're going to talk about what [39:12.640 --> 39:16.080] needs to be done on our border. And we're going to come up with a plan in the house. And we're [39:16.080 --> 39:19.680] going to see if the Senate goes along. And yes, we can negotiate between the House and the Senate. [39:19.680 --> 39:25.200] And when the time comes to hammer out the final legislative reality here. But let's deal with a [39:25.200 --> 39:32.320] single issue bill. And let's realize these things originate in the House. This is a real chance [39:32.320 --> 39:36.720] for the Republicans to educate doctor for the conservatives to educate if they just will. [39:36.800 --> 39:42.480] And that's why we want to support this bill, sir. That's why very clear, very simple. [39:43.360 --> 39:47.600] There is nothing right about this bill. But to tell you the truth, I mean, it's so reminiscent [39:47.600 --> 39:52.400] of everything. I mean, I remember back in the 90s when we did the so-called assault weapons ban. [39:53.120 --> 39:59.440] Right after that, I met with our Senator Orrin Hatch and our Congressman Jim Hanson. [40:00.320 --> 40:05.920] And we're just grumbling and griping. That's as nice as I can put it on your radio program. [40:06.720 --> 40:11.920] To them about what the heck are you thinking? And they said, oh, it was as good as we could get. [40:12.560 --> 40:16.880] And I said, Bravo. That's a lie. I said it. I said it a little bit differently than that. [40:17.440 --> 40:25.040] I said what it was was they met it as bad as they could and still get your vote. Because they voted [40:25.040 --> 40:31.280] for it. Okay. The people that were pushing for the the destruction of the Second Amendment made it [40:31.280 --> 40:38.560] as bad as they could. They made it as bad as they could in order to get a couple of yo, yo, [40:38.560 --> 40:44.640] go ahead, go brains to vote for it. And anyway, I pray this bill's dead on arrival as the whole [40:44.640 --> 40:48.560] point, ladies and gentlemen, listen, I'm going to hold Mike Johnson and others to their promise. [40:48.560 --> 40:54.720] I want single issue bills. How much is it going to take to secure our border? What is the plan to uphold [40:54.720 --> 40:59.920] the rule of law in this country? And I want to talk about and focus on nothing else when that's [40:59.920 --> 41:05.360] the bill in front of me. Period. And a paragraph. Nothing. Here's the deal. [41:06.240 --> 41:11.440] Mike Johnson is going to bring a single issue bill up that's going to fund the Israeli war. [41:12.240 --> 41:16.720] And then we want to vote against it and say no, we could say over our dead body, but here's the [41:16.720 --> 41:23.440] deal. These people think they have the authority to fund these things and they do not. And that's [41:23.440 --> 41:28.080] the problem is, is that you get them samples. I did just what you wanted to single issue. [41:28.160 --> 41:33.440] What's wrong with you, man? No, you still don't. You've crossed another line here. You could make [41:33.440 --> 41:39.360] a single issue, you crank bill or a single issue. You know, anything that's outside your job description [41:39.360 --> 41:44.240] is an oval. That's the bottom line. Well, and that's what we need to highlight. And that's the part [41:44.240 --> 41:47.440] of the education that I'm talking about. First, you teach people that, look, we're not going to have [41:47.440 --> 41:51.680] multiple issue bills. Period. Secondly, you teach people, Hey, you got to have funding originate [41:51.680 --> 41:56.640] in the house. The third thing you need to say is you can only pass bills that relate [41:57.600 --> 42:01.920] to within your scope of authority, things that are outside of your scope of authority. You don't [42:01.920 --> 42:06.880] have the ability or right to even vote on or pass or promote or fund or anything else. [42:07.440 --> 42:11.600] So this is the education that I'm talking about. And I just say shame on these people. [42:11.600 --> 42:15.920] Because again, if I vote, no, I'm just a bad guy. I'm always no on everything. I'm never helping [42:15.920 --> 42:21.360] anybody. But I can't vote yes on a bill like this. It's disastrous $118 billion for all kinds of [42:21.360 --> 42:26.720] stuff we absolutely disagree with. So I'm left with no choice to vote no on this. [42:26.720 --> 42:33.440] But when I vote no, it's I'm obligated, in my opinion, to explain publicly my reasoning and get [42:33.440 --> 42:37.200] a group of individuals that are saying the same thing, which is we've got to have single issue [42:37.200 --> 42:40.960] bills. You can't vote outside of your scope of authority. In other words, you can't just make [42:40.960 --> 42:45.120] anything law that you want to. You've got limits and bounds according to the Supreme Law of the [42:45.120 --> 42:50.240] land. That's why we want to chain you down with the Constitution. And a no vote's important. But [42:50.240 --> 42:55.680] what's more important than even a no vote in my mind is the education about how the process works [42:55.680 --> 42:59.920] and what we should be standing for and with and why you bring up a single issue on Israel and say, [42:59.920 --> 43:03.200] should we vote to fund Israel, I'm going to vote no and then you're going to say it was a single [43:03.200 --> 43:06.560] issue. And I'm going to say, you're right. However, you have no authority to fund [43:06.560 --> 43:10.560] foreign aid and rip money from the wallets of good honest Americans. You've got inflation [43:10.560 --> 43:15.040] that's a massive problem due to your dishonest money scam. And you've also now you're trying [43:15.040 --> 43:19.920] to get me to fund foreign aid. There's no authority for me to go wreak havoc in these other nations. [43:20.000 --> 43:23.760] Zero authority. We're breaching the sovereignty of other countries. And we should not be spending [43:23.760 --> 43:28.880] money on this issue at all because it means less money in the hands of Americans and more [43:28.880 --> 43:33.360] money in the hands of the quote, military industrial complex war machine. That's the problem here. [43:33.360 --> 43:37.440] See, every time we need to really get a group of people that'll hold press conferences on every [43:37.440 --> 43:45.360] one of these things and hold the line, doctor. Well, absolutely. And if you hold us [43:45.360 --> 43:54.560] this bill is reading up and fully elucidated, we got $4.83 billion in the bill for a lot. [43:55.360 --> 44:00.080] I just heard the heck is that to deter aggression by the time he is government in the Indo-Pacific [44:00.960 --> 44:05.520] region. What the heck is that? Are we going to arm the Filipinos and have them go against China? [44:05.520 --> 44:12.160] I don't know. They got, they got, well, that's insane. Everything we talk about is insane when [44:12.240 --> 44:17.760] we go down these roads. Absolutely. Every bit of it. You're breaking up quite a bit, doctor. [44:18.960 --> 44:25.440] All I can tell you is this. Absolutely. Tell everyone know on this bill, it's a disaster to say the least. [44:26.240 --> 44:33.360] It's literally criminal for them to do this, doctor. Indeed. This has got to be dead on arrival. [44:33.360 --> 44:38.720] Absolutely. I'm just hoping the Senate somehow prevails again in the [44:39.600 --> 44:42.000] in our legislature. They just aren't doing it. [44:43.040 --> 44:46.160] All right. If you can try to see if we can get Dr. Bradley on a phone or something like that. [44:46.160 --> 44:51.200] He's just breaking up too much. That would be phenomenal. In the meantime, though, one more [44:51.200 --> 44:54.400] issue that I want to cover before the end of the hour with Dr. Scott, there's always just too [44:54.400 --> 45:02.720] many great topics and not enough time to cover him at border rally, fearing invasion and civil war. [45:03.680 --> 45:09.280] Jay David Goodman writes the piece that I'm talking about now. And he talks about that a [45:09.280 --> 45:16.640] conservative convoy gathered on the Texas border to support the state's defiant stance on immigration [45:16.640 --> 45:22.240] ladies and gentlemen. Despite worries over the potential violence, it turned out to be peaceful. [45:22.800 --> 45:29.760] I'm grateful for that, ladies and gentlemen. I'm grateful that it remained peaceful. But I will [45:29.840 --> 45:36.240] tell you this. I believe that the government allowed it to remain peaceful. I believe that the [45:36.240 --> 45:43.920] enemies of liberty allowed it to be peaceful for a different reason. Just despite worries [45:44.480 --> 45:49.360] over potential violence, they say the event was peaceful. And that's great news, folks. [45:49.920 --> 45:53.920] I'm grateful for that. I don't want any violence or anything else. But I'm telling you, [45:53.920 --> 45:57.520] this could have gone wrong just as easy as it went right. And believe it or not, the people in [45:57.520 --> 46:00.960] charge, the people in control are the ones that decide this. So they allowed it to remain [46:00.960 --> 46:05.360] peaceful. And I'm grateful for that. They say a line of trucks, campers, cars and vans [46:06.160 --> 46:12.640] from South Dakota, North Carolina, Washington and Pennsylvania, snaked over all kinds of roads [46:12.640 --> 46:18.720] and converged. And then they talk about Quamado, Texas, and they went to this rural place and they [46:18.720 --> 46:25.360] had these events. And anyway, there you have it. But I'm glad that it remained peaceful. I was [46:25.360 --> 46:29.760] predicting that it might not be peaceful. I was wrong. I'll be glad to admit that I was wrong. [46:29.760 --> 46:32.960] But I will say this, don't get your confidence too high that we can have peaceful events. [46:33.920 --> 46:38.800] They allowed this to be peaceful, but they could have as easily as they wanted to turn it into a [46:38.800 --> 46:43.840] train wreck. Dr. Bradley, your comments on this convoy that I'm grateful was peaceful. [46:45.360 --> 46:50.000] Well, I just rejoined you. Apparently you were breaking up terribly to me. And I was breaking [46:50.000 --> 46:55.760] up terribly to you. And apparently somewhere on my connection, it was probably bad for us. [46:55.760 --> 47:00.960] I sounded bad and I was bad. So I didn't get your whole commentary on this, but it sounds like there [47:00.960 --> 47:07.360] was a yeah, basically, they had the big border event. And it turned out peaceful. A lot of people [47:07.360 --> 47:12.000] feared invasion and civil war, but they say it turned out all peaceful. And I'm saying that's great. [47:12.000 --> 47:16.960] I wasn't predicting this would be peaceful. But I'm glad that it was. But I'm also saying now, [47:17.440 --> 47:21.680] understand, just because this one was peaceful, that means the powers that be let it be peaceful. [47:21.680 --> 47:25.600] They could have ran it off the rails in a second if they chose to. Don't get too cocky and think [47:25.600 --> 47:29.120] we can have peaceful events whenever we want to, because I don't believe it's true anymore. [47:30.320 --> 47:36.320] Well, that that's the thing is that they'll make it as bad as they want it to be regardless. I [47:36.320 --> 47:41.840] mean, this is, this is one of those things where they take, you know, or reading on, you know, [47:41.840 --> 47:46.000] okay, if we pulled this, we pulled that, what, how are we going to use this latest emergency, [47:46.000 --> 47:51.920] whatever, they make a calculation. And then they, they push it that direction. Again, it's, [47:51.920 --> 47:58.800] it's like that thing I told you about earlier, where the, our Senator and Congressman said that [47:58.800 --> 48:03.520] it was as good as they could get. And I said, no, it was as bad as they could get it and still have [48:03.520 --> 48:10.000] you yo-yo's vote for it. And so that's kind of the way it is. It's manipulated. Everybody counts [48:10.000 --> 48:14.880] their votes. They count their, you know, the outcome they want and they review it and they make, [48:14.880 --> 48:21.200] they make it what they want it to be. And I think a little bit of the issue was probably [48:21.200 --> 48:28.960] tempered by the trucker convoy in Canada that happened back during the, the pandemic nonsense, [48:28.960 --> 48:35.840] where, where all of the actions by the Canadian government are now being kind of basically reversed [48:35.840 --> 48:41.520] and, and found fault with in the, in the court system in Canada. They're recognizing there's, [48:41.520 --> 48:46.640] there's blowback on that too. So I think that, and they weren't just quite ready to do what [48:46.640 --> 48:51.040] could have been done, I guess, but, but that doesn't mean it's not going to happen someday, you know. [48:52.000 --> 48:58.240] So keep our ears to the ground and our antenna's up. And they say, despite worries of potential [48:58.240 --> 49:04.000] violence, the vent was peaceful. And I'm grateful for that. And I hope it stays peaceful at the border, [49:04.640 --> 49:10.480] but I don't have a lot of confidence in that doctor. No, I, I don't either. [49:10.480 --> 49:16.720] And Biden is making noises like he's going to nationalize the National Guard, huh? I mean, [49:16.720 --> 49:22.320] if you look, you know, the article on Section 8 talks about this activity. Now, the National Guard [49:22.320 --> 49:27.520] is militia and we've got to be very clear about this at all times, but they try and equate the [49:27.520 --> 49:34.320] National Guard to the militia, the militia is everybody. Okay, but, but the people that want to [49:34.320 --> 49:39.360] limit the Second Amendment to the National Guard capability, because, because they're conflating [49:39.360 --> 49:44.640] militia and National Guard, George Mason, one of the principal officers of the Second Amendment [49:44.640 --> 49:52.080] says the militia is everybody, except for a few elected officials. And so, so, but Biden is saying, [49:52.080 --> 49:55.600] I'm going to, I'm going to nationalize the National Guard, and then I'm going to tell them to stand [49:55.600 --> 50:01.920] down. I'll activate them and tell them to stay home, sit there, you know, barbecue and whatever and [50:01.920 --> 50:06.480] I'll pay. And I don't think the president has authority to do that. I don't either. It'd be the [50:06.480 --> 50:10.240] first time in history and all of our history. Now, the National Guard's only been around for [50:10.240 --> 50:16.320] about 120 years, but, which proves it wasn't, it wasn't the militia in the first place. [50:17.120 --> 50:21.760] Correct. The Dick Act is what brought it about and we could talk at some length about that. But the [50:21.760 --> 50:31.600] point of the matter is the everything is in a, it's in a spin and everybody's trying to spin this, [50:31.680 --> 50:36.560] you know, and whether it's people that are unconstitutionally candidates for the presidency [50:36.560 --> 50:42.880] or it's the ability of states to succeed or it has to do with anything, which we don't support by the [50:42.880 --> 50:48.640] way, but the fact the matter is it's constitutional for crying out loud. It always has been, except [50:48.640 --> 50:54.880] for since Lincoln's days, they said no, it isn't anymore, but it's always been that way. That's been [50:54.880 --> 51:00.960] the basis of our liberty. I mean, whether it's from, oh, I don't know, the northwest ordinance of [51:00.960 --> 51:07.520] 1787 on forward. What was taught at West Point, what John Quincy Adams spoke about. I mean, [51:08.080 --> 51:13.840] these people, I mean, John Quincy Adams was absolutely a unionist, if you will, [51:13.840 --> 51:21.120] but he recognized that this is a voluntary association and the states should have [51:21.920 --> 51:27.200] their independence to do as they wish with that. I hope they never do. I hope there was always [51:27.200 --> 51:33.360] somebody that's going to fix this. But anyway, I'm diverging a little bit from this convoy that [51:33.360 --> 51:39.680] they had, but people need to understand that the what we're being told today is generally not true. [51:40.480 --> 51:47.280] I mean, we are generally in complete, we've absolved ourselves of even having to follow the [51:47.280 --> 51:52.560] Constitution anymore. You mentioned earlier, Sam, the Senate came up with a spending bill, huh? [51:52.560 --> 51:58.320] How'd that happen? The House has that responsibility. And that's the reason that's why I say the House [51:58.320 --> 52:02.880] members need to stand up and educate and jealously guard their responsibility here. They've got a [52:02.880 --> 52:06.720] real opportunity, but they're already squandering it because I haven't seen a single thing. I'm the [52:06.720 --> 52:14.480] first person that I know to bring this up. Yeah, well, I hope there's others. I hope there is too, [52:14.480 --> 52:20.480] but if there were somebody listening out there that could call into their congressman and Senator [52:20.480 --> 52:25.760] and say, Hey, you guys, you got this fast backwards. This is not the way that this is supposed to be [52:25.760 --> 52:32.000] done. We need to start following the letter of the law and the spirit of the law, and they collate [52:32.000 --> 52:36.320] together and the way the founders put it together. Amen to that. We'll talk about that more final [52:36.320 --> 52:44.160] headline before the hour. February is Black History Month, Doctor 2024. Ready to celebrate? [52:45.280 --> 52:53.520] You know, this is the long story too. We only got a couple of minutes left, I know. But this idea of [52:54.800 --> 53:02.000] fragmentation and splitting and trying to get up one upmanship on everything and everything. [53:02.000 --> 53:09.280] That's on break, people. A white congressional caucus and an Asian congressional caucus. [53:10.240 --> 53:19.520] This is all Marxist, Bravo Sierra again. And the idea, I had, what's a long story. I know a new, [53:19.520 --> 53:26.960] a young captain that was dishonorably discharged from the military because he wanted to do a white [53:26.960 --> 53:36.240] history month. Yeah, I went right down the racist. What happened was for the AEO group is made up [53:36.240 --> 53:40.800] of people that are absolutely skewed the other direction. And he went in and says, let's do this [53:40.800 --> 53:47.200] too. And they said, they laughed. They says, what can you think of that's worthy of report that the [53:47.200 --> 53:53.040] whites have ever done? That's the response they gave him. I want American history. Well, no, [53:53.040 --> 54:02.960] I want it year round. I agree. I agree. But Washington wanted, American is the name that we should be [54:02.960 --> 54:09.280] known by, not by our skin color. The, the darkness or lightness of our, of our coloration. [54:09.840 --> 54:13.760] The way God made us, we shouldn't divide over that. We should celebrate the American ideal. [54:14.320 --> 54:18.640] The principles that win America great. And that should be our greatest export, ladies and gentlemen. [54:18.640 --> 54:23.600] Let's educate ourselves and turn to God almighty and do our very best and trust in the almighty for [54:23.600 --> 54:29.200] the rest, shall we? Hour one in the can. Dr. Scott Bradley, freedomzizingson.com. Thank you, sir. [54:29.200 --> 54:32.960] Thank you, all. Everybody stay safe today. [54:33.840 --> 54:38.960] Ladies and gentlemen, stand against this psychotic border bill. It's bogus. All right. [54:38.960 --> 54:45.120] Hainte, hour one of the can to coming up. God saves the Republic of the United States of America. Transcription results written to '/home/forge/transcribe2.sonicengage.com/releases/20240205230933' directory
