[00:00:12] Live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West.
[00:00:18] You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.
[00:00:25] All right. Happy to have you along, my fellow Americans.
[00:00:29] Sam Bushman live on your radio. Hard hitting news that every should be used to use.
[00:00:33] No doubt starts now.
[00:00:35] This is the broadcast for May 27th in the year of our Lord, 2024.
[00:00:40] This is our one of two.
[00:00:42] The goal always to protect life, liberty and property, to promote God, family and country.
[00:00:47] That is so on your radio in the traditions of our founding fathers.
[00:00:50] Yes, indeed. We use the blueprint for liberty, the Supreme Law of the land,
[00:00:53] the Constitution for the United States of America.
[00:00:55] That is our guide.
[00:00:56] We reject revolution, the lessons of Jesus revolution.
[00:00:59] Then we're in because we follow the Prince of Peace.
[00:01:02] We also use the checks and balances that made America great.
[00:01:04] Those checks and balances.
[00:01:06] Well, they're the great solution in our fingertips
[00:01:08] that we still have if we just recognize it and get her done.
[00:01:12] By the way, happy Memorial Day to all of you.
[00:01:15] I don't know how many people realize they're going to try to jettison this day.
[00:01:20] Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States,
[00:01:24] honoring those who served in the armed forces and died.
[00:01:27] But it started out Decoration Day.
[00:01:31] Yeah, Decoration Day was the beginnings of it all.
[00:01:34] And that relates to the Civil War and that really relates a lot to the South.
[00:01:38] And man, they don't want to talk about that.
[00:01:40] And it just goes on and on and on.
[00:01:43] I do appreciate those who sacrificed their lives for liberty.
[00:01:47] However, I have a lot of heartburn over this idea that,
[00:01:51] you know, we send these people into wars, they die or they come back.
[00:01:55] We treat them as rock star heroes.
[00:01:56] And reality, they've fought for the regime
[00:01:59] or oftentimes they've fought for global elitism or
[00:02:02] or hegemony around the world or, you know, some of these things.
[00:02:07] We destroy and then nation build.
[00:02:09] And we've got this war, military, industrial complex.
[00:02:12] And, you know, we kind of cap these people heroes of that.
[00:02:16] You know, I reject all that.
[00:02:17] There is an honest, appropriate need for self-defense.
[00:02:21] I get it. But we've crossed the line oftentimes where we become the aggressors
[00:02:26] and then we want to praise those aggressors as heroes.
[00:02:30] Well, most of the folks that come back from these wars don't feel like heroes.
[00:02:34] They feel betrayed by the regime.
[00:02:36] By the military industrial complex.
[00:02:38] So, you know, the real difficult discussion for all of us is how do we
[00:02:43] show gratitude for those who have really given their lives for liberty
[00:02:46] and those who thought they were giving their lives for liberty or giving their
[00:02:49] their all for liberty and find out that they weren't.
[00:02:52] You know, it's hard to know how to honor them.
[00:02:53] We need to treat them with dignity and respect and appreciation.
[00:02:56] At the same time, we need to not go over the top.
[00:02:59] It's tough because it's mixed up in a lot of people's minds.
[00:03:03] You know, they want to revere and usually the military guys going
[00:03:06] don't call me a hero because he knows he's been there and he's like,
[00:03:09] you know what? I went to fight for liberty.
[00:03:11] I went with the American dream and heart and a mind.
[00:03:14] And when I got there, I realized that's not what we're all about.
[00:03:17] And so a lot of times soldiers are very conflicted about this.
[00:03:21] We need to be humble and appreciative and gratitude filled.
[00:03:24] But we ought not put them on pedestals because they don't want to be
[00:03:27] on pedestals for feeling betrayed and losing their buddies
[00:03:31] and their lives and their limbs and everything else
[00:03:33] for unjust, unconstitutional, immoral wars.
[00:03:36] But we start out with Decoration Day and we start out with Dr.
[00:03:39] Scott Bradley, freedom, sizing son dot com
[00:03:42] to wish you all a happy Memorial Decorations Day
[00:03:46] and do a little bit of celebration and reflection on our liberties
[00:03:49] at the same time with a great deal of caution.
[00:03:51] Doctor, welcome, sir. And your thoughts?
[00:03:54] Well, thank you, Sam.
[00:03:55] Good morning to everyone.
[00:03:56] And indeed it is Memorial Day.
[00:03:59] It's again, as Sam has mentioned,
[00:04:03] commemorating those that have lost their lives in service of the country
[00:04:06] and have died since since 1775, about one dot eight million Americans
[00:04:11] are given their lives in service to their country.
[00:04:13] But what Sam points out is also very true,
[00:04:17] particularly in my lifetime.
[00:04:21] The the idea that, you know, we're defending liberty,
[00:04:25] the, you know, mom, apple pie and all that kind of good stuff.
[00:04:28] There's not a lot of that stuff on the battlefield.
[00:04:30] But but the fact of the matter is that that we in many ways
[00:04:34] try to create a kind of a cast of military,
[00:04:38] which would be a really, really great departure, not not in great
[00:04:42] as in good, but in a major departure
[00:04:45] from the Americanist philosophy that that we are a peace loving people.
[00:04:51] But what's happened in my lifetime, at least, has been the
[00:04:55] the inextricable march towards global government that is
[00:05:00] is being carried out.
[00:05:02] And America is basically the pointy end of the spear on that stuff.
[00:05:07] And the the exporting of blood and death and destruction and carnage
[00:05:12] and blah, blah, blah that's out there.
[00:05:16] And, you know, I joined when I was 18.
[00:05:18] But you know what?
[00:05:19] I I I was pretty stupid and maybe I still am.
[00:05:23] But the point of the matter is that that there's
[00:05:28] kind of an aura that goes around this military thing
[00:05:32] that that's kind of cast upon all of us.
[00:05:34] And and truly, it's it's it's a heavy burden.
[00:05:39] And I think a lot of the PTSD that we're recognizing today,
[00:05:43] I think is because of cognitive dissonance.
[00:05:46] I think that, you know, as Sam points out,
[00:05:48] we think we're going to do this marvelous thing on liberty and
[00:05:52] and all this for exporting hope and all this.
[00:05:55] And what really comes down is it's it's pretty gritty
[00:05:59] and it really doesn't have the outcome that perhaps
[00:06:03] we have in our hearts and that cognitive dissonance.
[00:06:07] Things happened horrific, horrible, inhuman
[00:06:11] things that that can't be even described.
[00:06:15] And and and to have to think about this,
[00:06:22] I I just it's very difficult for many to be able to say
[00:06:27] I did what needed to be done.
[00:06:29] Well, I did what I did is what comes in their mind
[00:06:32] and I observed what I observed
[00:06:35] and I did not see the hope for outcome.
[00:06:38] I mean, we we are the greatest exporter of death,
[00:06:41] destruction and carnage in the world.
[00:06:45] And we do have some impressive firepower.
[00:06:48] The kinetic energy that's released in these kind of things
[00:06:51] is unbelievable.
[00:06:53] But what we've got, I mean, whether it's Trump
[00:06:57] unleashing 100 plus Tomahawk missiles in Syria
[00:07:01] that somebody offshore pushed the buttons on
[00:07:04] or somebody's going street to street on something in way
[00:07:09] or or maybe a flu.
[00:07:10] Or something like that.
[00:07:11] I mean, it's it's just
[00:07:15] no, I don't want to detract from those that have given
[00:07:18] their lives and those families that gave their loved ones.
[00:07:21] I mean, we often forget about that.
[00:07:22] I mean, that hole that's left in people's lives,
[00:07:25] a husband, a father, a brother, a son, a friend, whatever.
[00:07:32] The cost is heavy.
[00:07:33] And the founding fathers never,
[00:07:37] never felt that the United States would be the aggressive
[00:07:42] purveyor of war and destruction that has become across the globe.
[00:07:46] They put very contained, controlled,
[00:07:49] deliberative processes in place to avoid becoming
[00:07:53] what Napoleon and those guys in their era or a little after their era
[00:07:59] trumped across Europe doing.
[00:08:01] And and it war is the most onerous burden
[00:08:04] that any nation takes on.
[00:08:06] It is legalized, institutionalized mass murder.
[00:08:10] And they didn't want us just being pulled into any willy nilly
[00:08:15] whim of the day kind of thing that happens.
[00:08:18] President was never supposed to take us there.
[00:08:20] If you read the 69th Federalist paper,
[00:08:22] he's just like the commanding general or admiral.
[00:08:26] This was at the heart of things where the people
[00:08:30] had their representatives that had to solemnly meet
[00:08:33] and discuss and discover and and make the decision.
[00:08:36] Take a solemn vote.
[00:08:38] Not once in my lifetime have we ever did to a constitutional
[00:08:43] conflict, not once, not ever.
[00:08:45] And people say, oh, well, the authorization for military use after
[00:08:50] 9 11 Bravo Sierra people, that is not constitutional.
[00:08:56] Declaration of war, Article one, six, Nate clause 11.
[00:09:00] Did Congress declare war or not?
[00:09:02] If not, it's unconstitutional.
[00:09:04] Amen to that.
[00:09:05] And that's why I talk about the guys that go serve
[00:09:08] or the men and women that go serve in the military.
[00:09:10] They leave with the right idea in their heart.
[00:09:13] Hey, I want to defend America.
[00:09:14] I want to defend our liberties.
[00:09:16] I owe it to my ancestors.
[00:09:18] I owe it to my country.
[00:09:20] I owe it to my and they come back feeling betrayed
[00:09:22] because they get there and they go,
[00:09:24] this ain't even what it's about.
[00:09:25] You're you tied the hands of me and my brother.
[00:09:28] And while we were there, you played games with us.
[00:09:31] We thought we were on the verge of victory in certain things
[00:09:34] and you've circumvented what we were doing.
[00:09:36] And they start to see the truth.
[00:09:38] And in quiet moments, I've talked to soldier after soldier
[00:09:40] after soldier about this.
[00:09:41] And every one of them feels literally betrayed, doctor.
[00:09:44] Well, you know, that's absolutely correct.
[00:09:48] You know, you bought a bill of goods, a pig in a poke,
[00:09:51] whatever you want to call it.
[00:09:53] Just to go back even to World War
[00:09:54] two, everybody thinks it was the greatest generation.
[00:09:57] Everything came together as it should have.
[00:10:00] I think of a good friend of mine, he's in my generation.
[00:10:03] His dad served in World War two and and without going into a whole lot of details
[00:10:08] not long before his death, he went up on a high outlook over the looking this.
[00:10:15] Yep, let's keep the break.
[00:10:17] I was he was on a high outlook overlooking the community,
[00:10:20] and he sat there with his boys, you know, just not long before his death.
[00:10:25] And he says, boys, I love you and your mom more than anything in the world.
[00:10:30] I can't imagine the the yearnings I have towards you guys,
[00:10:35] but I need you to understand I can't be in heaven with you or your mom.
[00:10:39] Well, what? Why, Dad?
[00:10:40] You know, kind of thing.
[00:10:42] He says it's because of things that happened during the war.
[00:10:45] He says, I I can't speak of them.
[00:10:47] I just I just know that I am not going to be in heaven with you.
[00:10:52] I mean, he carried that his entire life.
[00:10:54] And I think he's wrong on that score.
[00:10:56] I do, too. I do, too.
[00:10:58] Great Savior is just and merciful.
[00:11:01] And so the truth will be recognized of his of his real heart.
[00:11:05] However, they do feel that way.
[00:11:08] They do feel trapped.
[00:11:09] They do feel like there's no answer.
[00:11:10] They do feel like they did things that that they regret
[00:11:13] and that are eternally damning.
[00:11:14] And and they do feel that way.
[00:11:16] Your point's right.
[00:11:17] Well, you know, I I think about my uncle.
[00:11:22] I was maybe closer to him than anybody else in his life.
[00:11:26] You know, he served in World War Two.
[00:11:29] I always say he died in Europe in 1943,
[00:11:33] but he didn't know until 1963.
[00:11:35] He just died a couple of weeks after Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
[00:11:38] It was a kind of a tough year for me.
[00:11:40] A tough little era right in there.
[00:11:42] And anyway, he and I used to sit under this walnut tree.
[00:11:47] He slept in the garage at my grandparents' home.
[00:11:51] His family had just eviscerated by the whole thing.
[00:11:55] It had destroyed him.
[00:11:57] He had been a happy go lucky, you know, kind of a trickster,
[00:12:01] kind of, you know, one of those guys that always had kind of a mischievous
[00:12:05] something going on before the war.
[00:12:07] And he came back just broken, just absolutely broken.
[00:12:10] He died in Europe and didn't know until 1963 when he did finally pass.
[00:12:15] But but like I say, he we used to talk and I think he told me things
[00:12:20] he never told anyone else.
[00:12:22] But boy, I fretted for him.
[00:12:24] I fretted after after his death.
[00:12:27] I mean, I I had similar kind of heavy burdens like that fellow
[00:12:31] I just told you about that was my friend's dad
[00:12:35] telling his boys goodbye for the last time because he felt he was
[00:12:38] he was going to hell for his, you know, all the things
[00:12:41] that had happened during the war.
[00:12:43] And again, I absolutely unequivocally believe what you just said.
[00:12:47] I do believe I'll tell you what I believe.
[00:12:50] I believe those that are responsible for the wars
[00:12:52] are the ones that will go to hell.
[00:12:54] I think those warmongers, those military industrial complex guys,
[00:12:59] those people like Robert McNamara, the architect of the Vietnam War
[00:13:03] that cost so many lives and so many limbs and millions
[00:13:07] of Vietnamese and everything like that.
[00:13:10] Him and LBJ.
[00:13:12] I mean, you know who am I?
[00:13:13] I'm not their judge. Christ is.
[00:13:16] But I think that when I get
[00:13:19] I look, I got some years ago, I got McNamara's
[00:13:25] book about Vietnam
[00:13:28] in Rocha in retrospect, I think is what he called it.
[00:13:31] Anyway, he gave himself a pass.
[00:13:33] We were kind of naive.
[00:13:34] We yeah, we made some decisions that didn't turn out right.
[00:13:38] Blah, blah, blah, blah.
[00:13:40] I think that they buried a lot of people.
[00:13:42] And I think that those that carry those things out, bury a bear, a heavy burden.
[00:13:47] And I don't know how it's going to work out with our infinite.
[00:13:50] Make no mistake, though, the Savior Jesus Christ,
[00:13:53] he will have his judgment will be perfect, will be merciful,
[00:13:57] will be just and just the right exact way.
[00:14:00] And I don't know that I understand that exactly as a mortal,
[00:14:03] but I'm convinced it's true.
[00:14:05] And I'm convinced that our job on Decoration Day,
[00:14:10] a very tough period for the United States as well.
[00:14:12] And on Memorial Day, it's time to reflect on that.
[00:14:15] And it's time to say to ourselves, how can we be the advocates of peace, not war?
[00:14:20] How can we celebrate our liberties, be grateful for our liberties,
[00:14:25] be thankful for those who have served, but not honor war,
[00:14:29] not become a warlike people?
[00:14:31] How do we remain a peaceful people?
[00:14:33] But understanding that sometimes war is necessary.
[00:14:36] But more often than not, wars could be avoided
[00:14:38] by keeping the commandments of Almighty God.
[00:14:40] And I know people think there's not a relationship between the two.
[00:14:43] But I submit to you that there is.
[00:14:44] If you keep the commandments of God, most of the time you can avoid war.
[00:14:47] And when you are necessarily involved in a war and you're in defensive
[00:14:52] and you're just and moral and your goal is to defend your wives
[00:14:55] and your children and your homes and your families and your liberties
[00:14:58] and these kind of things, if you have the right attitude
[00:15:00] when you go to war, more than not, God, you know,
[00:15:03] can create victories for you and decrease war.
[00:15:06] You go get it done. Come home.
[00:15:09] We don't do that when we're in perpetual war because, you know what?
[00:15:12] The war mentality takes over.
[00:15:14] We could be be slaves to the military industrial complex
[00:15:17] where there's just big money at hand
[00:15:19] and we betray ourselves on that altar, pretending that war is peace.
[00:15:24] And it's a big lie, folks.
[00:15:26] The way to avoid war, the best way, at least, is to think of war
[00:15:29] as a defensive, necessary evil on occasion with very defined reasons to go
[00:15:34] with a goal of getting home as quick as possible and then saying, hey,
[00:15:38] we're going to advocate for peace.
[00:15:40] We're not going to be a warlike people.
[00:15:41] Christ was peaceful.
[00:15:43] And those who wage war against Christ, you know what?
[00:15:46] We will go to war in a defensive way to protect our families
[00:15:51] and our, you know, our right to worship and be free to worship God
[00:15:56] as we choose.
[00:15:57] That's the mentality that I think we should have about
[00:16:00] not only war in general, but this day, doctor.
[00:16:03] There's an inspired statesman that I have a great deal of respect for.
[00:16:07] His name is J.
[00:16:08] Rubin Clark, Jr.
[00:16:09] He said the price of liberty is blood, human blood.
[00:16:13] I mean, that's a really high price.
[00:16:15] It really is.
[00:16:17] But it was not to be
[00:16:19] frivolously entered into on whims.
[00:16:22] In fact, I mean, I've
[00:16:25] we could spend this whole hour together talking about these kinds of things
[00:16:29] that the founders said about this most onerous burden
[00:16:33] that comes upon a nation.
[00:16:34] But they had put a deliberative process in place
[00:16:37] that would avoid the warmongering
[00:16:41] that was common among the monarchy in Europe, that they had such a
[00:16:46] blatant record upon.
[00:16:48] And so consequently, we as the United States have abandoned this.
[00:16:54] I mean, yeah, we had some really stupid things that happened,
[00:16:57] including the Civil War in the eighteen hundreds.
[00:17:01] But when we got into the Woodrow Wilson years and the World War
[00:17:04] one thing and the entangling alliances that brought the whole world together
[00:17:07] in war and we didn't have a dog in the fight.
[00:17:10] Oh, excuse me.
[00:17:12] The money mongers did the ones that were loaning money on the thing
[00:17:17] and they're worried about losing their investment.
[00:17:19] And they they just basically nurtured us into war.
[00:17:23] And until I mean, it's just absurd.
[00:17:27] And we go off to war with simply
[00:17:32] their phantoms of reasons for going.
[00:17:37] There are no real good reasons.
[00:17:38] You think about what the angelic host announced the birth of the Savior,
[00:17:43] you know, the Prince of Peace, peace on Earth, goodwill toward men.
[00:17:46] Isaiah, speaking messianically, spoke about the Savior,
[00:17:50] wonderful counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting father,
[00:17:53] the Prince of Peace.
[00:17:54] We mock the Prince of Peace with everything we've got going all over the world today.
[00:18:00] And this facade that's happening in Israel right now
[00:18:04] that has been decades and decades in its building
[00:18:09] because of the diabolical things that have happened there
[00:18:14] by socialist leaders that well,
[00:18:19] David Ben-Gurion wanted to be the Lenin of the Middle East.
[00:18:22] And that was his goal.
[00:18:24] I mean, these kind of things that happen, these these acrimonies
[00:18:28] that come between nations, you know, people need to go read again
[00:18:32] Washington's statement about these things, not just for the United States,
[00:18:36] but for the whole world.
[00:18:38] If we have this this concept of warfare constantly,
[00:18:42] we begin to to take sides and things we never have.
[00:18:45] We don't have a dog in the fight.
[00:18:47] And we don't need to take sides except for we need to stand
[00:18:50] with the Prince of Peace.
[00:18:51] We need to advocate for peace whenever possible.
[00:18:54] Right? We do.
[00:18:56] And and people that do advocate for peace become odious
[00:19:01] and calls the patriots to become odious in the eyes.
[00:19:04] And those that are in elected Lindsey Graham's of the world
[00:19:07] that never saw a scrape in the world, they didn't want to kill some Marines in.
[00:19:11] I mean, it's like, holy Hannah, what in the world are we thinking?
[00:19:15] You know, justice is not carried out through the barrel of a gun.
[00:19:20] Or a grenade or whatever, you know, whatever weapon of destruction
[00:19:24] you want to think about.
[00:19:25] And and we are engaged in things that I think the Earth weeps
[00:19:29] and I think heaven weeps over this.
[00:19:32] I cannot imagine how a nation that had such
[00:19:36] noble origins has gotten so entwined in these things.
[00:19:41] These forever wars.
[00:19:42] I don't know if we've had a moment of peace in my lifetime.
[00:19:46] And I'm well into my 70s.
[00:19:48] And I don't think we have.
[00:19:49] I think you're right.
[00:19:50] And I think even World War Two, I don't think we needed to be involved in.
[00:19:53] Well, that J.
[00:19:54] Rubin Clark guy that I mentioned earlier in 1938, 1939, he gave some speeches
[00:20:01] and I've got at least part of it in my book where I talk about how
[00:20:06] they will use these tricks to get us in that we can only have peace
[00:20:10] if we go to war kind of what anyway.
[00:20:13] And how how the people were working most diligently
[00:20:16] to draw the United States into this European war
[00:20:19] that we were not only going to go there and fight, we were going to pay for.
[00:20:23] I mean, here's a guy.
[00:20:24] I mean, it's prophetic.
[00:20:25] The things that he said.
[00:20:27] You say, well, OK, prophetic.
[00:20:29] Well, maybe he was inspired.
[00:20:31] OK, let's call it that.
[00:20:32] You know, you get the whisperings of the Holy Ghost
[00:20:34] that speak truth to your heart.
[00:20:36] And he spoke them.
[00:20:37] And he said these things are are most.
[00:20:42] Maybe I know we got to take a break.
[00:20:44] I'll get you one of his little statements that he made.
[00:20:48] Yeah, well, you find that really quick.
[00:20:49] I just want to make the point.
[00:20:50] There were those who knew ahead of time that it was going to happen
[00:20:54] in in the Civil War
[00:20:56] and in World Wars one and two.
[00:20:59] And there's evidence that even our leaders betrayed us.
[00:21:02] They made agreements and alliances.
[00:21:05] They advocated for certain things.
[00:21:07] They let down their guard and changed the game.
[00:21:09] So a lot of these things could happen.
[00:21:11] And when you study history for real, it is shocking.
[00:21:14] And its implications and what we've done
[00:21:16] and who'd done it and all that kind of stuff.
[00:21:19] I'm grateful that the Prince of Peace,
[00:21:22] the Savior Jesus Christ truly has the ability to perfectly,
[00:21:25] you know, be the judge of this and to temper mercy
[00:21:28] with justice in meaningful ways,
[00:21:30] because I'm telling you, it's diabolical and evil.
[00:21:32] And the more you study it, the more you go.
[00:21:33] Wow, it isn't as I was told.
[00:21:36] That's for sure, doctor.
[00:21:38] Well, that's whether it's Al Qaeda or ISIS or, you know,
[00:21:43] any of these other things that you want to talk about.
[00:21:45] Here's here's what J.
[00:21:46] Rueben Clark said in 1937, 37.
[00:21:50] I mean, this is two years, two and a half years,
[00:21:52] basically since I mean before the invasion of
[00:21:57] Poland and by Russia and Russia
[00:22:00] and Germany started World War Two in Poland.
[00:22:03] OK, but at any rate,
[00:22:06] nevertheless, he said, there is strongest reason
[00:22:09] for believing that some of the most skilled,
[00:22:10] astute and shrewd diplomats, politicians
[00:22:13] and statesmen of all Europe are now planning to have
[00:22:16] the people of the United States finance the next European war
[00:22:20] either before the war begins or during its progress.
[00:22:23] Furthermore, certain of these diplomats, politicians
[00:22:26] and statesmen are planning to entice the United States
[00:22:29] into an offensive and defensive military alliance
[00:22:33] in order that we shall participate in that next world war
[00:22:36] by sending our young men to the battlefields of Europe.
[00:22:39] The argument they now plan to use to bring this about
[00:22:42] is that in this way only can the peace of the world be preserved.
[00:22:46] While this is the most profound fallacy,
[00:22:49] it will unfortunately find a sympathetic year among many of the people
[00:22:52] in this country who do not fully understand international relations.
[00:22:56] It will require the wisest statesmanship on our part
[00:23:00] to prevent the United States from becoming again
[00:23:02] the victim of a world military catastrophe.
[00:23:06] I mean, this is two and a half years before the September 1st invasion in 1939
[00:23:11] by by Germany into Poland and then two weeks later by Russia into eastern Poland.
[00:23:17] This we don't have statesmen of this caliber anymore.
[00:23:21] There are a few voices.
[00:23:23] I mean, Ron Paul and his speaking against forever wars.
[00:23:26] Bobby Kennedy and his speaking against those.
[00:23:29] You know, you say, well, hey, Kennedy is not my Republican, whatever.
[00:23:33] And, you know, when they're right, they're right.
[00:23:37] Doctor was truth is truth, man.
[00:23:39] So, yeah, there's that's J.
[00:23:41] Rueben Clark.
[00:23:42] And he's the guy that said, as I mentioned earlier,
[00:23:46] the price of liberty is blood, human blood.
[00:23:49] But he was not a warmonger.
[00:23:51] And he stood in the gap and said,
[00:23:54] we've got to be very careful how we enter these things.
[00:23:57] Now, I don't want to detract from anybody's sacrifice.
[00:23:59] I don't want to detract from the hole that was left in families
[00:24:02] because there were many devoted, faithful
[00:24:06] individuals that naively or eyes open.
[00:24:09] I don't care how they went.
[00:24:10] Here's what we've got to do.
[00:24:11] What they should.
[00:24:12] We've got to look to the past with gratitude and appreciation,
[00:24:16] regardless of all the wrongs that were done.
[00:24:19] The savior will take care of that.
[00:24:20] We need to look back with gratitude.
[00:24:22] We need to live in the present with a mind of following the Prince of Peace.
[00:24:26] So we need to look to the future with hope and planning
[00:24:30] to make sure that we are truly a peaceful people,
[00:24:34] not a warmongering people, but a peaceful people that advocate
[00:24:38] for peace everywhere we go.
[00:24:41] Happy Decoration slash Memorial Day.
[00:24:43] We'll switch topics in a way after the break,
[00:24:46] but it's really the same topic.
[00:24:51] Pursuing liberty, using the Constitution as our guide.
[00:24:55] You're listening to Liberty News Radio USA News.
[00:25:03] I'm Laura Winters.
[00:25:04] We are learning at least five people have been killed in Cook County,
[00:25:08] Texas after a likely tornado.
[00:25:10] Sheriff Ray Sappington telling CNN rescue efforts are still underway.
[00:25:14] Severe weather battering several states and impacting events.
[00:25:18] This Memorial Day holiday weekend, multiple tornadoes reported in Texas,
[00:25:22] Oklahoma and Arkansas and in Valley View, Texas, north of Dallas,
[00:25:26] a gas station torn up and destroyed from the whipping wind in Denton County,
[00:25:31] Texas, major damage and overturned 18 wheelers in Oklahoma in the town of
[00:25:36] Claremore. Extensive damage to houses, many without power.
[00:25:40] The storm now heading east. Police in Massachusetts say a man in custody
[00:25:44] after six people stabbed in two cities, four young women between the ages
[00:25:49] of nine and 17 stabbed at an AMC movie theater in the town of Braintree.
[00:25:53] Then a man and a woman attacked in a McDonald's in Plymouth.
[00:25:56] None of the injuries are said to be life threatening.
[00:25:59] Police say the two incidents are related.
[00:26:01] PGA golfer Grayson Murray has died at the age of 30.
[00:26:05] No word yet on the cause of his death.
[00:26:07] President Biden addressing the graduating class at West Point.
[00:26:10] He speaks in New York for about 20 minutes.
[00:26:13] Biden talking about conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
[00:26:16] There are no American soldiers at war in Ukraine.
[00:26:19] I'm determined to keep it that way, but we are standing strong with Ukraine
[00:26:24] and we will stand with them.
[00:26:25] Biden spending the holiday weekend at his home in Delaware.
[00:26:28] Donald Trump speaking at the Libertarian Party Convention in Washington D.C.

[00:26:43] to defeat communism, defeat Marxism and defeat crooked Joe Biden

[00:26:52] His hush money trial resumes on Tuesday.

[00:28:51] I believe there will come a took a stand in defense of all of conception
[00:28:55] until our last natural breath.
[00:28:58] As a teenager, I gave my first public speech in my church.
[00:29:05] My hand shook, my heart pounded.
[00:29:09] I thought to myself, I can't do this, but somehow I did.
[00:29:12] And because I wanted to talk about things that were important, I persisted.
[00:29:17] I was a young man, I was a young man, I was a young man.
[00:29:21] I was a young man, I was a young man, I was a young man.
[00:29:24] I persisted.
[00:29:26] I chided my church as a senior in high school
[00:29:28] for not seeming to care about the not yet born,
[00:29:31] for looking the other way and for not taking a stand on life.
[00:29:35] I will be in earnest.
[00:29:37] I will not equivocate and I will not excuse.
[00:29:41] I will not retreat an inch and I will be heard.
[00:29:47] One thing I promise you, I will always take a stand for life.
[00:30:18] All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm switching topics in a way, but not really.
[00:30:23] Because I believe that the God, family and country
[00:30:26] are the keys to stability and success in America.
[00:30:29] Okay? If we turn to our God and obey his commandments,
[00:30:32] that would mean we're peaceful people,
[00:30:34] not a war mongering, a war-like people, right?
[00:30:38] Well, Harrison Butker is getting beat up big time.
[00:30:43] Who is he? He's the kicker, right?
[00:30:44] The famous kicker in the NFL.
[00:30:47] Now, you can literally be like a rapist and just betray women
[00:30:50] and steal and rob and pillage and plunder.
[00:30:53] No big deal. There's all kinds of criminals in the NFL and in Congress.
[00:30:56] Nobody seems to care one bit.
[00:30:58] But buddy, you stand up for proper relationships between men and women.
[00:31:02] You stand up for the man they're going to eat you alive.
[00:31:05] And that's what's been done to him.
[00:31:07] But he stands up tall.
[00:31:09] And he gave like an 18-minute speech to Benedictine College.
[00:31:17] It's a Catholic private college.
[00:31:18] And he gave his message.
[00:31:21] Now, it should be just a Catholic speaking to Catholics
[00:31:23] and it should be no big deal.
[00:31:24] But man, the NFL is going after this guy
[00:31:26] and everybody's just eating him alive.
[00:31:28] But he's standing tall.
[00:31:29] He's standing up for what he believes in.
[00:31:31] Well, he really took on the Catholic Church in general
[00:31:33] and took on churches and said,
[00:31:34] you guys have got to get right.
[00:31:36] You guys are after money and after fame and fortune
[00:31:38] and you're not about the gospel of Christ
[00:31:40] and you got to repent and fix this.
[00:31:42] And man, the Catholic leaders didn't like that either.
[00:31:44] But I submit to you that there's churches all around the world
[00:31:47] that are in the same boat as that.
[00:31:49] Anyway, but out of the 18-minute speech,
[00:31:51] he spoke directly to the American people,
[00:31:53] to mothers, to women.
[00:31:55] And man, it was an incredible speech.
[00:31:58] But again, it relates because remember,
[00:32:00] the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
[00:32:03] In other words, we can teach our children
[00:32:05] to be a peace-loving people,
[00:32:07] to be a humble people,
[00:32:09] to be a God-fearing people,
[00:32:10] to keep the commandments of God,
[00:32:11] to be self-governed.
[00:32:13] I mean, I can go on and on and on.
[00:32:14] But I want to play the piece of this speech that I cut out
[00:32:17] because man, he is just on fire with what's really right.
[00:32:21] Harrison Butker, commencement address,
[00:32:26] 2024 at Benedictine College.
[00:32:28] Here it is.
[00:32:29] For the ladies present today,
[00:32:31] congratulations on an amazing accomplishment.
[00:32:34] You should be proud of all that you have achieved
[00:32:36] to this point in your young lives.
[00:32:38] I want to speak directly to you briefly
[00:32:40] because I think it is you, the women,
[00:32:43] who have had the most diabolical lives told to you.
[00:32:45] How many of you are sitting here now
[00:32:47] about to cross this stage
[00:32:49] and are thinking about all the promotions
[00:32:50] and titles you are going to get in your career?
[00:32:53] Some of you may go on to lead
[00:32:54] successful careers in the world,
[00:32:56] but I would venture to guess
[00:32:57] that the majority of you are most excited
[00:33:00] about your marriage
[00:33:01] and the children you will bring into this world.
[00:33:03] I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabel,
[00:33:06] would be the first to say
[00:33:07] that her life truly started
[00:33:09] when she began living her vocation
[00:33:11] as a wife and as a mother.
[00:33:13] I'm on this stage today
[00:33:14] and able to be the man I am
[00:33:16] because I have a wife
[00:33:17] who leans into her vocation.
[00:33:20] I'm beyond blessed
[00:33:21] with the many talents God has given me,
[00:33:24] but it cannot be overstated
[00:33:26] that all of my success
[00:33:28] is made possible
[00:33:29] because a girl I met in band class
[00:33:31] back in middle school
[00:33:35] would convert to the faith,
[00:33:37] become my wife,
[00:33:39] and embrace one of the most important titles of all,
[00:33:42] holemaker.
[00:34:03] She is the primary educator to our children.
[00:34:05] She is the one who ensures
[00:34:06] I never let football or my business
[00:34:09] become a distraction
[00:34:10] from that of a husband and father.
[00:34:12] She is the person that knows me best at my core,
[00:34:15] and it is through our marriage
[00:34:16] that Lord willing,
[00:34:17] we will both attain salvation.
[00:34:20] I say all of this to you
[00:34:21] because I have seen it firsthand
[00:34:23] how much happier someone can be
[00:34:25] when they disregard the outside noise
[00:34:27] and move closer and closer
[00:34:28] to God's will in their life.
[00:34:30] Isabelle's dream of having a career
[00:34:32] might not have come true,
[00:34:34] but if you asked her today
[00:34:35] if she has any regrets on her decision,
[00:34:38] she would laugh out loud
[00:34:39] without hesitation
[00:34:40] and say,
[00:34:41] heck no.
[00:34:44] As a man who gets a lot of praise
[00:34:45] and has been given a platform
[00:34:46] to speak to audiences like this one today,
[00:34:49] I pray that I always use my voice for God
[00:34:52] and not for myself.
[00:34:53] Everything I am saying to you
[00:34:55] is not from a place of wisdom,
[00:34:57] but rather a place of experience.
[00:34:59] I am hopeful that these words will be seen
[00:35:01] as those from a man
[00:35:02] not much older than you
[00:35:03] who feels it is imperative
[00:35:05] that this class,
[00:35:06] this generation,
[00:35:07] and this time in our society
[00:35:09] must stop pretending
[00:35:10] that the things we see around us
[00:35:11] are normal.
[00:35:13] Heterodox ideas abound
[00:35:14] even within Catholic circles,
[00:35:16] but let's be honest,
[00:35:17] there is nothing good about playing God
[00:35:19] with having children,
[00:35:20] whether that be your ideal number
[00:35:22] or the perfect time to conceive.
[00:35:24] No matter how you spin it,
[00:35:25] there is nothing natural
[00:35:26] about Catholic birth control.
[00:35:28] It is only in the past few years
[00:35:30] that I have grown encouraged
[00:35:31] to speak more boldly and directly,
[00:35:33] because as I mentioned earlier,
[00:35:34] I have leaned into my vocation
[00:35:36] as a husband and father
[00:35:37] and as a man.
[00:35:39] To the gentlemen here today,
[00:35:40] part of what plagues our society
[00:35:42] is this lie that has been told to you
[00:35:44] that men are not necessary
[00:35:45] in the home or in our communities.
[00:35:48] As men we set the tone of the culture,
[00:35:50] and when that is absent,
[00:35:51] disorder, dysfunction,
[00:35:53] and chaos set in.
[00:35:55] This absence of men in the home
[00:35:56] is what plays a large role
[00:35:58] in the violence we see all around the nation.
[00:36:00] Other countries do not have nearly
[00:36:02] the same absentee father rates
[00:36:03] as we find here in the U.S.,
[00:36:05] and a correlation could be made
[00:36:07] in their drastically lower
[00:36:08] violence rates as well.
[00:36:10] Be unapologetic in your masculinity,
[00:36:13] fighting against the cultural emasculation of men.
[00:36:16] Do hard things.
[00:36:17] Never settle for what is easy.
[00:36:19] You might have a talent
[00:36:20] that you don't necessarily enjoy,
[00:36:22] but if it glorifies God,
[00:36:23] maybe you should lean into that
[00:36:25] over something that you might think
[00:36:26] suits you better.
[00:36:28] Dr. Bradley, incredible.
[00:36:31] In my mind he's a hero.
[00:36:32] He's getting attacks from all sides,
[00:36:36] but not on this program.
[00:36:37] We're going to tell you he's 100% spot on, sir.
[00:36:41] You know, it's interesting.
[00:36:42] We've got popes and priests
[00:36:44] and general authorities and bishops and pastors,
[00:36:48] and you can make your whole list of so-called,
[00:36:51] I say so-called,
[00:36:52] religious leaders that have lacked the courage
[00:36:56] to say what this young man said.
[00:36:58] Here's a jock,
[00:36:59] a kid that played football
[00:37:01] probably through high school and college
[00:37:03] and has made it big in the professional leagues,
[00:37:06] and he recognizes that foundational stuff
[00:37:11] that really makes society work,
[00:37:13] and I just wish that we had a few religious leaders
[00:37:18] anymore, anytime, anywhere,
[00:37:21] that had the backbone to speak as he has.
[00:37:23] I think about in my world, in my life,
[00:37:27] my wife, I often refer to her as the good shepherd.
[00:37:31] I mean, you know, we're shepherding grandkids
[00:37:33] around nowadays, you know,
[00:37:35] but not with near the vigor and passion
[00:37:38] and the time that it took to do our own children,
[00:37:42] but I knew when I went off to my job every day,
[00:37:46] when I was out trying to provide for the family,
[00:37:49] I mean, my job was a secondary role.
[00:37:51] You know, I had to try and find a place of shelter
[00:37:54] and warmth and food and so on and a safe place,
[00:37:59] but she was the good shepherd.
[00:38:00] Every day I went away,
[00:38:01] I knew the good shepherd was watching over my children.
[00:38:04] I don't want to detract from the good shepherd
[00:38:05] name of the savior
[00:38:07] because she partnered with him in everything.
[00:38:09] The God in her are co-creators
[00:38:11] in all of these kinds of things,
[00:38:13] and the backbone that it took for this guy.
[00:38:16] I think about how young men in religions,
[00:38:19] in my own religion have been thrown under the bus.
[00:38:23] Young men are no longer valued
[00:38:26] for what they bring to that equation too,
[00:38:29] and certainly there's been many that have overstated,
[00:38:33] and you think about this Bravo Sierra
[00:38:36] about, well, let's just mention
[00:38:38] and maybe we'll come back to it in a while.
[00:38:39] The guy that got nominated as a libertarian
[00:38:43] for president over the weekend,
[00:38:45] he's gay and armed.
[00:38:48] This is a perversion to the eternal plan
[00:38:51] that God has set forth,
[00:38:52] and we celebrate these made up sexual statuses
[00:38:57] and everything else that detracts
[00:38:59] from the true divine role.
[00:39:02] I believe it's a divine role the women have.
[00:39:05] Now some women are denied motherhood,
[00:39:08] circumstances, all sorts of physical maladies
[00:39:12] and everything else like that.
[00:39:13] I don't want them to feel devalued in any way,
[00:39:16] but the fact of the matter is
[00:39:19] that we have a role to carry forth in God's plan,
[00:39:24] and we should do the best we can
[00:39:26] in whatever life deals us.
[00:39:29] And what's happened is that the traditional role
[00:39:32] of families has been basically tossed under the bus,
[00:39:37] and I'll tell you a hidden thing of darkness though,
[00:39:41] Sam, and I don't want to talk too much about it.
[00:39:44] We talk about these secret combinations
[00:39:47] and the people that are controlling our government,
[00:39:48] everything, abortion.
[00:39:50] All of these things are hidden things of darkness,
[00:39:52] but I think one of the most destructive things
[00:39:55] that is happening in society today
[00:39:58] is that dark evil called pornography.
[00:40:01] It takes from everybody a virtue, a hope,
[00:40:05] even performance of their divine role,
[00:40:09] and pornography has become a kind of an undertow
[00:40:12] that people, they say,
[00:40:14] oh yeah, we got pornography out there,
[00:40:16] but no, I think that is destroying the very core
[00:40:20] of the souls of people,
[00:40:21] and it takes away from that sacred,
[00:40:23] holy, loving, divine relationship
[00:40:27] between a husband and wife,
[00:40:29] and they have perverted the whole,
[00:40:34] the creative process that's a gift from God
[00:40:37] in some things that,
[00:40:39] I mean, here we have Stormy Daniels,
[00:40:42] center stage, a porn queen,
[00:40:45] I mean, a hooker, a harlot.
[00:40:47] I don't know what you want to call her.
[00:40:49] Has become a pivotal point in American history,
[00:40:52] and you think holy cow,
[00:40:55] and this young man praising his wife
[00:40:57] and recognizing her contribution,
[00:41:00] her devotion, her love,
[00:41:02] you feel the emotion in his heart and soul,
[00:41:05] and for some people to try and detract from that,
[00:41:09] we, heaven help us, heaven help us.
[00:41:12] If that becomes the common theme of society,
[00:41:17] we are truly toast, we are toast,
[00:41:20] and better have some jam in your pocket
[00:41:23] because kids, it's gonna get a real bumpy ride here
[00:41:26] pretty quick, so yeah, I take my hat off to you.
[00:41:28] They skipped over Donald Trump,
[00:41:29] they skipped over RFKJR,
[00:41:31] and they embraced Chase Oliver,
[00:41:33] who describes himself as armed and gay,
[00:41:36] and he says that it'll unify and expand
[00:41:38] the party's reach.
[00:41:41] I think the libertarian party
[00:41:43] is going to lose ballot access
[00:41:45] in so many states this year.
[00:41:47] They have spun this thing off the rails.
[00:41:51] You know, it's interesting,
[00:41:52] you know, the Von Mises caucus
[00:41:54] in the libertarian party,
[00:41:55] I mean, these are the people
[00:41:56] that are talking about economics.
[00:41:59] I mean, that's not the sole and only problem
[00:42:02] we're facing America today,
[00:42:04] but it is a big problem.
[00:42:05] I mean, our Keynesian economics
[00:42:08] that we have embraced since the 1930s anyway
[00:42:11] has brought us into this bucket of hurt
[00:42:13] we're in right now,
[00:42:14] and the libertarian party
[00:42:17] rejected the Mises side of the house,
[00:42:20] if you will,
[00:42:21] and went with a guy that's famous,
[00:42:24] gay and armed, holy Hannah.
[00:42:27] I mean, where are we going as a nation?
[00:42:30] It just, again, I think it's going to cost them.
[00:42:34] All right, you ready for this, doctor?
[00:42:35] I don't know.
[00:42:37] I interviewed Chase Oliver on hour two,
[00:42:44] January 25th, 2024.
[00:42:47] I interviewed Chase Oliver,
[00:42:48] and not once did that issue come up
[00:42:51] of him being gay and armed
[00:42:52] and promoting that agenda.
[00:42:54] Holy cow.
[00:42:55] So who picked that slogan?
[00:42:58] I have no idea,
[00:42:59] but all I know is he didn't seem like that
[00:43:01] when I interviewed him,
[00:43:02] and I interviewed him
[00:43:03] because the Free and Equal Foundation,
[00:43:05] Christina Tobin and those guys,
[00:43:07] had him as one of the lead libertarian guys,
[00:43:09] and I'm just like,
[00:43:10] hey, I ought to at least interview
[00:43:11] and see what the guy's all about.
[00:43:12] None of that came up.
[00:43:13] So something has changed
[00:43:15] between when I interviewed him and now, doctor.
[00:43:18] Well, you know what?
[00:43:20] There may be some people pulling the strings behind,
[00:43:23] and they're saying, wow,
[00:43:25] with all this trans LGBTQ, WXYZ stuff
[00:43:29] that's going on right now,
[00:43:30] this is in the forefront.
[00:43:31] This is a wave sweeping the United States and so on.
[00:43:34] And you know what?
[00:43:35] Maybe vaccine-driven.
[00:43:37] I don't know.
[00:43:38] People get injected with stuff
[00:43:39] and they kind of lose their way.
[00:43:41] I don't know.
[00:43:42] I don't know.
[00:43:43] But apparently, I mean,
[00:43:44] that was the central...
[00:43:46] If you followed this at all in the media...
[00:43:49] Yeah, and I'm telling you,
[00:43:50] it did not even come up
[00:43:53] when I interviewed him, doctor.
[00:43:54] And I had no idea that he was...
[00:43:57] Well, all I'm telling you is when I interviewed him,
[00:43:59] he didn't have that in focus at all.
[00:44:01] He talked about downsizing government,
[00:44:03] like the libertarians,
[00:44:04] and when he was pretty much libertarian
[00:44:05] right down the line,
[00:44:06] but he seemed to have a few morals
[00:44:08] in terms of constitutional principles
[00:44:11] and respect there for and all that kind of stuff.
[00:44:13] None of this came up.
[00:44:16] So I'm just gonna put shame,
[00:44:19] exclamation point before the headline now
[00:44:21] because I just look at it and go, wow.
[00:44:24] Libertarians skip over Trump and RFKJR
[00:44:28] for Chase Oliver.
[00:44:29] He's now their presidential pick
[00:44:31] in his acceptance speech Sunday night.
[00:44:34] Chase Oliver, 38.
[00:44:37] He's described himself as, quote, armed and gay.
[00:44:40] None of that came up once.
[00:44:44] And so shame on the libertarians
[00:44:45] and shame on the whole party
[00:44:46] and shame on them for jettisoning the Mises side
[00:44:49] of it all and everything else.
[00:44:50] But you know what?
[00:44:50] This brings up the next topic.
[00:44:51] I think it directly relates.
[00:44:54] There's an Oregon movement,
[00:44:55] as you've all heard about in the past,
[00:44:57] to join, quote, greater Idaho picks up steam.
[00:45:02] And there's a lady over at town hall, Leah,
[00:45:04] that brings this up and talks about it.
[00:45:07] We're talking about Crook County, Oregon.
[00:45:09] Residents voted last week
[00:45:11] to pass a, quote, greater Idaho measure
[00:45:14] that would support starting negotiations
[00:45:16] for them to secede from the liberal state of Oregon
[00:45:19] with 53% support.
[00:45:22] It's now the 13th county in the state
[00:45:24] to approve such a measure.
[00:45:26] They say the vote in eastern Oregon,
[00:45:28] the voters have spoken loudly
[00:45:30] and they have a desire to see the talks move forward.
[00:45:34] There's no excuse left for the legislator
[00:45:37] or the governor to ignore this any longer.
[00:45:40] It's time to get done.
[00:45:41] We need the speaker of the house,
[00:45:43] the governor and the leader of the Senate
[00:45:45] to all sit down with us
[00:45:46] and discuss how this will happen.
[00:45:49] The greater Idaho movement seeks to move the border
[00:45:52] between Oregon and Idaho
[00:45:56] to give a whole lot more land or region to Idaho.
[00:46:03] All right?
[00:46:04] Four eastern Oregon counties
[00:46:06] and three partial counties
[00:46:07] would be included in it, folks.
[00:46:09] They've all voted for this.
[00:46:10] They've pushed for it,
[00:46:11] the people, it's going on and on and on and on.
[00:46:14] And the last point is, hey,
[00:46:15] it's gonna take not only people to vote
[00:46:18] in the House and Senate of Idaho and Oregon
[00:46:20] and the U.S. Congress to make this happen.
[00:46:23] It's not very likely at this stage,
[00:46:24] but people are agitating for this as well, doctor.
[00:46:27] Well, this movement is alive and well
[00:46:30] in a number of states
[00:46:31] and some want to become separate states
[00:46:34] and others want to merge with other existing states.
[00:46:37] This eastern Idaho, excuse me,
[00:46:40] eastern Oregon movement will ultimately take in,
[00:46:44] I think, 14 colonies and some colonies.
[00:46:48] 14 counties and then partially three others, yep.
[00:46:52] So anyway, this movement is to separate themselves
[00:46:55] from the great socialist welfare state of western Oregon.
[00:47:00] But California's got some movements,
[00:47:02] so does Washington and some other states.
[00:47:04] But the point of the matter is,
[00:47:05] there is a constitutional process.
[00:47:08] Article 4, section 3 needs to be reviewed.
[00:47:12] Let me just read this little paragraph, clause 1.
[00:47:15] New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union,
[00:47:18] but no new state shall be formed or erected
[00:47:21] within the jurisdiction of any other state,
[00:47:24] nor any state be formed by the junction
[00:47:27] of two or more states or parts of states
[00:47:29] without the consent of the legislatures
[00:47:32] of the states concerned as well as of Congress.
[00:47:35] So the legislature in Oregon has got to sit down
[00:47:39] and say we're gonna deal with this.
[00:47:41] The legislature in Idaho needs to sit down
[00:47:43] and say we're gonna deal with this.
[00:47:45] And the United States Congress needs to deal.
[00:47:47] There is a constitutional process,
[00:47:49] well-defined in the United States Constitution.
[00:47:52] Now West Virginia violated that by the way,
[00:47:54] but that's another story perhaps.
[00:47:56] But let's talk about this thing where people are saying,
[00:48:00] and again, the dichotomy, this schism,
[00:48:05] this I don't know, animosity that's growing
[00:48:08] based upon limited government versus a socialist welfare state.
[00:48:13] And some of the people, the working people if you will,
[00:48:17] the farmers and ranchers of Eastern Oregon
[00:48:19] are saying no, we're tired of having our pockets picked
[00:48:23] to put it into these inner city war zones
[00:48:29] that are being created.
[00:48:31] And California by the way, I think it's in San Francisco,
[00:48:35] they're now buying alcohol for homeless people
[00:48:38] out of taxpayer dollars.
[00:48:39] I mean these kinds of insanities are going on now
[00:48:43] in real time and some of the people that are saying no,
[00:48:46] we don't agree with this
[00:48:48] and they're looking for an option out.
[00:48:50] And Oregon is facing this right now
[00:48:53] with 13 of the 14 states having voted in favor of it
[00:48:57] and then the few others that are there
[00:48:59] that are gonna be part of this.
[00:49:00] But their legislature ought to start listening
[00:49:03] because what they're doing
[00:49:06] is they're ramrodding socialism through
[00:49:08] with the high population density areas on the West Coast.
[00:49:12] The bad people always get the beautiful parts of the state.
[00:49:15] That's not saying the farmland is not beautiful
[00:49:18] but your coastline of Oregon is just spectacular.
[00:49:20] Because they're less tied to the dirt and to the soil,
[00:49:22] that's why.
[00:49:23] I think so.
[00:49:25] And the schools.
[00:49:26] But anyway here's the question,
[00:49:27] are you for it or against it, doctor?
[00:49:29] Oh, I think these kinds of things need to move forward.
[00:49:32] I think that a message needs to be carried.
[00:49:35] I think that we, I mean again,
[00:49:38] there's a constitutional defined process
[00:49:40] that this can be carried out.
[00:49:42] And I think that they ought to push for it to the nth degree.
[00:49:44] I think honestly Idaho ought to welcome this
[00:49:49] and say come on down.
[00:49:50] And you know, California.
[00:49:52] They have the Idaho legislator voted to start talks.
[00:49:55] Accepted.
[00:49:56] As well, right?
[00:49:57] So there's things happening.
[00:49:59] The legislature in the United States level
[00:50:02] is going to have to engage on this.
[00:50:04] And honestly.
[00:50:05] That's where I think that it'll melt down.
[00:50:07] They won't, they can't even fix the time zone problem.
[00:50:09] Or the time zone problem.
[00:50:11] There's a lot of other things that are bigger than that one.
[00:50:14] Even they can't fix, but no.
[00:50:16] We are selling out this nation and the Nero's
[00:50:21] in the United States national legislature are fiddling
[00:50:25] while the nation burns.
[00:50:26] And that's a real tragic story
[00:50:28] that we're telling right now.
[00:50:30] But I think this story ought to be, you know,
[00:50:31] we ought to blow on these embers
[00:50:32] and get this fired up and let's do it, baby.
[00:50:36] Couldn't agree more.
[00:50:37] Couldn't agree more.
[00:50:38] And, you know, I know that people think,
[00:50:40] oh man, that's insurrection talks.
[00:50:41] Yeah, I don't agree with that at all.
[00:50:43] It's realignment talk about again, you know what?
[00:50:45] We're having a problem reigning in this agenda
[00:50:49] that simply does not care about the proper role
[00:50:51] of government based on the tradition
[00:50:52] of our founding fathers.
[00:50:53] That really is the issue, right?
[00:50:56] No question and limited government checks
[00:50:58] and balances separation of powers, delegation of authority.
[00:51:01] All of those things have been completely set aside
[00:51:05] by not only those at the general government level,
[00:51:07] but in the states and particularly some of these
[00:51:11] left bank states, you know, some of the, you know,
[00:51:14] left wing kind of thing.
[00:51:15] Anyway, you know what I'm talking about
[00:51:17] with California, Oregon and Washington.
[00:51:19] I mean, Oregon and Washington are just California light.
[00:51:22] I mean, really and truly.
[00:51:24] If you go north up the west coast of the United States
[00:51:27] and you go to individual states,
[00:51:29] you'll find it's just like this or like that
[00:51:32] and socialism.
[00:51:34] You come in a little bit.
[00:51:35] You know, Idaho has its problems.
[00:51:36] There's no getting around that.
[00:51:38] I mean, the governor and the Ayaka
[00:51:40] and all of those cabals
[00:51:43] that are running Idaho right now.
[00:51:45] I think the people are gonna wake up though.
[00:51:47] I think they'll sooner or later
[00:51:48] if all the Californians don't move there
[00:51:50] and re-institute California in Idaho.
[00:51:53] But I think the people, if they get a chance
[00:51:56] will wake up and say, wait a minute, wait a minute.
[00:51:58] These are cabals using industry titans, if you will,
[00:52:05] big box groups, whether it's a medical organization
[00:52:08] or it's a big industrial group
[00:52:10] that are trying to really control
[00:52:13] what government is in Idaho right now.
[00:52:14] I think the people could be awakened to that
[00:52:17] if enough people became vocal about it.
[00:52:20] So Idaho ought to give this place in their heart.
[00:52:23] I think Utah has already been captured by the way
[00:52:26] by these big socialist welfare state organizations
[00:52:29] and they claim that they're the best
[00:52:33] of the most Republican state.
[00:52:34] No, they're not.
[00:52:36] They're an undeclared sanctuary state
[00:52:38] in every way, shape and form.
[00:52:40] And also a state that wants to push for a con con.
[00:52:43] They absolutely.
[00:52:45] And they're also seizing all the water
[00:52:47] in the state for government.
[00:52:49] Utah's constitution protects
[00:52:51] the private property of water, for example,
[00:52:54] and holds that sacred and allows the people to fit in.
[00:52:57] And we need to demand they are obedient
[00:52:59] and subject to it, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:53:01] That's what we need to be doing with our time.
[00:53:03] Anyway, all I'm telling you is we got to reject war,
[00:53:05] stand with the Prince of Peace.
[00:53:07] We've got to look at why the country's trying
[00:53:09] to be realigned summer for secession.
[00:53:11] I'm not, but I do understand
[00:53:13] their frustrations and anger.
[00:53:15] We've got to move the needle
[00:53:16] towards sacred principles and liberty.
[00:53:18] We can do so by following the Prince of Peace.
[00:53:21] Moving the border is a good idea and needs to happen
[00:53:24] because they need to be called to account
[00:53:27] for their abuses of the law.
[00:53:30] And we need to make a difference.
[00:53:31] And the only way I know that we can do that
[00:53:32] is to work hard and stand for what's right.
[00:53:35] When it comes to Decoration Day or Memorial Day,
[00:53:38] yes, let's honor those who have fallen
[00:53:41] in defense of liberty, but let's not confuse
[00:53:44] U.S. military action around the world
[00:53:48] for the last 75 years with the defense of liberty
[00:53:50] because it's had nothing to do with it.
[00:53:51] It's had everything to do with the military
[00:53:53] industrial complex and conquest the nation building
[00:53:56] and nothing to do with the sacred cause of liberty,
[00:53:58] which we advocate for every day on your radio.
[00:54:01] 30 seconds, final word to you, Doctor.
[00:54:04] Well, Sam has really captured much of this last hour,
[00:54:08] but I really do truly believe that the Prince of Peace
[00:54:10] is the answer to all these solutions.
[00:54:13] We have an established nation
[00:54:16] that was founded upon those things.
[00:54:18] American Founding Fathers spoke that truth.
[00:54:21] We established it under those truths.
[00:54:23] And the government that they brought forth
[00:54:25] has been perverted in recent decades.
[00:54:27] And we got to turn back the clock,
[00:54:29] go on our back trail with this.
[00:54:31] No impostors, the Constitution, ladies and gentlemen,
[00:54:34] the checks and balances, God, family and country
[00:54:36] is indeed the key.
