[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.

[00:26:52] 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.
