J6 Committee Abandons Efforts to Subpoena Phone Records
"Out by accident online. Let's put the headline up from the fake news outlet that is CNN. January 6th, committee winds down and is abandoning its efforts to subpoena phone records before the week before Christmas a year ago. I arrived home with a little FedEx envelope from Verizon saying Nancy wants your phone records and your why phone records and your children's phone records and we're going to give them. I filed an injunction 12 months later, they've dropped it. Nancy's given up. What's going on guys? They are worried about the same tactics being used against them. They know that this is the beginning of the anti ship anti Pelosi tactics. And I hope the Republicans have the cojones to do what the Democrats because I go back to the independent council law. And everybody loved it when it was being used against the Republicans. And then Bill Clinton took office and it was used against the Democrats. And you know what? It was just a miracle up there on the hill. They decided not to renew it when it had run its course. Let me ask you, can you imagine the GOP after January putting in a subpoena for John Brennan's phone records? Or someone else, a former cabinet official from the Trump administration? I think they should. But can you imagine it? I want to imagine it. I hope it will happen. And if they don't do it, they're going to disappoint a lot of people and they're going to show they don't have the strength of character necessary to do the job. This isn't about taking depositions and bringing people up. That's a part of the process. But before you do that, you need records to cross examine people about. Phone records, emails. They need to do exactly what they did to the Republicans. Just like the independent counsel law. They have to hurt the Democrats as much as the Democrats were willing to hurt Republicans. And until they feel it, it's never going to stop. All right,

"Yes. Trap Trump paraphernalia, and we're on the scene. I mean, you've worked. In a position where you were responsible for helping secure the house, you were working with the speaker. And I did major demonstrations when I was the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Naive question, since Nancy Pelosi was responsible for the security of Congress as the speaker. Yes, she is. But she still going to be in Congress. She can't be subpoenaed. Oh, sure she can. She can. Now, whether or not whether or not they want to subpoena her is another question. Remember, do it while the Democrats controlled the House of Representatives. They subpoenaed the phone records of Republican members of Congress. My victorious of John Solomon of all kinds of people. So can they subpoena her? Absolutely. Absolutely. That's an example in recent history. There's no serving congressman or woman being surprised. No, not by the body itself. This is all new territory. But guess what? There's now no history ever of members of Congress, subpoenaing phone records of people. Because I talked to several members. Adam Schiff has never standard, which the Republicans should copy. And that is, if there are members on the other side of the aisle who have information, they should be forced to provide it. The Democrats started this Jihad. They started it in the most obnoxious way. They lied about what they were doing. They secretly got subpoenas for the phone records of American citizens and fellow lawmakers, and that's why all this stuff about, well, we're not sure how far we're going to go punishing them. They should be punished to the n-th degree. Which takes me back to the Republicans in the House. Whether they can really perform. That is the question, at least we have a title for this hour when we post it later today. The Democrats started this Jihad right that down here because that is going to be the title for this hour. It's the Democrats started this Jihad. I've got lots of questions.

Will Anything Change With a GOP Majority Congress?
"Back. It's Friday. It's asked doctor G anything. It's a Second Amendment Friday special in studio guests. Joe digenova and Victoria than sing. So let's take what we're witnessing with the revelations from Palo Alto from us to the next level. We have a new Congress sworn in in just a couple of weeks time. Is anything going to change? And there are actually other yet. They haven't decided that who the speaker is going to be. And for the four or 5 people who are and I really like most of them, who are fighting McCarthy, now I'm not a fan of McCarthy, but who are you going to replace him with? Where are you going to get your 218 votes that you need? I think it's pretty clear that it's going to be Kevin. Does that mean it's going to be the same old same old that subpoena here, a subpoena there, milk toast investigations? There was never a subpoena here in a subpoena there. That was the whole problem. There was 14 is under Paul Ryan. And his successors. I talked to Mark Meadows. Johnson said, don't you guys know how to go ahead and hang on? Lindsey Graham promised us one for 6 years. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, the Senate is a very different rule rules. Usually the minority gets to also decide, but the Democrats are going to change it. So will there be any ramifications for what we're seeing? I think that both comer and Jim Jordan are very serious people, and they do not want to embarrass themselves. They've talked about this for years. They have to produce, and they know it. And I expect, I don't like this talk about we're inviting people into testify. I don't know why they're not subpoenaing people right away. This is nonsense. They're wasting time.

Joe DiGenova on the Vulnerable State of the FBI
"Something fascinating earlier about the Twitter revelations from Elon Musk if there is disclosure depositions, you said the FBI would fold. We haven't seen a lot of folding in the last few years. Why would that happen? Because the ultimate, they don't have any choice. Their role in fomenting the blocking of information about American citizens by American citizens is so horrific. And so horrendous. You'll notice the FBI director Christopher wray hadn't said a word about this. He's dissipated as we say in South America. Wow. He's gone. And he can't say anything about it. First of all, he's a coward. He's the worst FBI director in history. He doesn't know how to lead. He's an empty suit. He has a great barber and a great tailor. Those are his qualifications to be FBI director. And so what you are seeing is, he's lost control of his agency. There are enough people in there who will squeal and scream and be whistleblowers, that this is going to get very ugly. And see, this is why this is why Musk is so important. Because not only is he cleaning up Twitter, he's going to help clean up the FBI

Mike Pompeo: Head of Teacher’s Union Is the ‘Most Dangerous'
"Actually has a very good point here, as I pointed out and wrote this a couple of years ago back in 2019 and my book culture Jihad. That the radical leftists were actually using our nation's public education system to advance their radical agenda. So in essence, the reason why our country has changed so radically over such a short amount of time is because of the indoctrination that's happening inside our public school classrooms. Now many moms and dads, you weren't aware. You had plenty of stuff to do. I mean, you send your kids just like grandma and grandpa and great grandpa and great grandpa. You sent your kids to school and they had a school marm a teacher and you learned your lessons. You learned how to add and subtract and you learn how to read and write, you learned about dissecting a frog. Little boys went to shop class and they learned how to change tires and change the oil and how to build shelves and little girls learn how to make delicious pancakes and waffles with blueberries on top. That's how life was in America. And you know what? We won world wars. When we had an education system like that. And if you made a mistake, you screwed up. It wasn't the teacher's fault. You got your butt spanked in the school, and then you got it twice as hard, once you got home. And guess what? Generations of American boys and girls grew up, they became patriots. They became hardworking taxpayers, respectable citizens, and community leaders. And they'll do that anymore. Now you go to school, your poor kid comes home, and then let me know what their pronouns are. So I think Pompeo is right here when he says that the most dangerous person in the world is the leader of the teacher's union right here in the United States of America.

Rolling Back the Wave of Cultural Marxism With Katie Gorka
"Have in studio none other than my boss, my muse. Katie gawker. Katie, it's been a long time. I haven't seen you in a while. Husband, it's been at least 20 minutes. Oh, why are you writing my credit instantly there? Although you have been on the road quite a bit lately, so it's nice to have you back in the swamp at least with me. And we have perfect timing for this discussion because you launch something very special today at the heritage foundation. You've been working on it for, I don't know, it feels like years, along with Mike Gonzales. So what is the title of the report that you've launched? It's how cultural Marxism threatens the United States and the most important part because it's always so what part, how Americans can fight it. So first things first, you and I national security backgrounds. I've been teaching Canada for almost 20 years. We had a company together, you specialize on the ideology of Jihad as well. You rose up through the swamp to actually serve the presidential appointee at the Department of Homeland Security. So why this paper? We'll talk about why the timing, but you're an expert on external threats. Now you're looking inwards. So give us the reason for this massive study. So it really came about because of my colleague, Mike Gonzalez, at the heritage foundation. Mike is has been absolutely extraordinary. These last three years, his focus in his expertise is really identity politics. Undermining what the left cause identity, but the truth about it. Yes. Right. The truth about the book on BLM and everything else. Yes. And actually, his extraordinary work, which I think came out before the book on BLM was a book where he really showed how we constructed this notion of Hispanic identity. I mean, before that, people would come here and they would just want to become Americans. But the left created these identities. Now to the point at which there's a box you tick on a federal form. Exactly. And that's exactly one of the points he makes, and that's exactly one of the points we address in our paper that we need to get rid of that. We want to be Americans. We don't want to be in our individual boxes. So

Raymond Ibrahim Discusses His New Book 'Defenders of the West'
"To reacquaint ourselves with what is the historical faith. So you are doing that in your book. So the new book is defenders of the west, the Christian heroes who stood against Islam, let's talk about that. Who are some of these heroes? What is the context? Well, the context, in many ways, this book is actually a companion book to my previous book from 2018, which is sword and scimitar. 14 centuries of war between Islam and the west. And you may recall we spoke sometime back about that when the war college had invited me to speak about it and then care the Muslim Brotherhood wing at the council of American Islamic relations, protested and call this islamophobes and races and pulled the rug from underneath me, the water college capitulated. So forth anyway, they redeemed themselves eventually, but then they capitulated again, that's all different story. So the first book sorting scimitar looked at the sites of battles and really 8 of them and looked at the context. So it showed you the history of relations between Islam and the west and how it was really anchored in warfare and Jihad and conquest and three quarters of the Christian territory. It was eventually was conquered and annexed and swallowed up. Some of it eventually was reconquered as in the reconquista in Spain and the Balkans and so forth. In the new book, defenders of the west, I look again at 8, but this time what I call not decisive battle, 8 decisive men. And again, I thought this was important to just show people how Christians understood themselves Vis-à-vis Islamic Jihad and I can name a lot of them still basically we have and it's really three theaters of war that I look at really the crusaders, which is a just war defensive war and I get into explaining how, even though it was Europeans traveling to the Middle East, they were actually acting on certain commandments, including love your fellow man, because the Christians of that region were being completely annihilated and terrorized, tens

Med Groups Urge DOJ to Investigate Threats Over Gender-Affirming Care
"Book, culture Jihad had to stop the left from killing a nation. I have a chapter in there about families under attack. And I explained at the time, this is back about two years ago when the book came out. And it got a lot of blowback from conservatives who said this was I was way off base here and that things were not going to get as bad as they eventually became. I am not a prophet, but I can read the culture. And it turned out that everything in that book has come true. And now here we are a very powerful and well funded group of sex and gender revolutionaries have literally declared war on the nuclear family. And they want to create this genderless society and that's why we're going through this transgenderism fight right now. Remember it was originally can boys identify as girls and vice versa. But now, now we're dealing with the situation where medical doctors are leading a campaign to normalize body mutilation for children. These irreversible surgeries. Yesterday, the American medical association wrote a letter to the Justice Department and big tech and they are playing hardball. They want to shut down all of their critics. On every social media platform, they also are calling for the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute any organization or person who opposes or is standing in opposition to transgender surgeries for minors. So this is an ugly, ugly war ladies and gentlemen.

Tell Your Children What 9/11 Was About
"The young America's foundation, by the way, they sent a reporter out to some university campuses, and they asked students about 9 11. Do you remember what 9 11 was about? Who was responsible for 9 11? Not a single student that they interviewed could answer those questions. And why is that? Well, we know we know that in the days after 9 11, there were efforts to literally rewrite history and to erase that history, because they might be offended and by they were talking about Muslims. They did not want to offend Muslim Americans, and so the TV stations, they collectively agreed to stop airing the footage of the planes flying into the buildings, they stopped talking about what really happened on that day. And folks, if you have a young person on a suspect, if you're listening to this program, you are teaching your kids what happened on 9 11. But I want you to understand it's very simple to explain to a child. 9 11 is when a group of Muslims waged a Jihad on the United States of America, and they slaughtered thousands of our fellow citizens in the name of the Islamic religion. The religion of peace, that's what happened on that day.

"Destruction. Hamas now has been accused by some of abandoning Islamic Jihad, as Israel targeted and killed two of its leaders and nearly 20 militants. Israel called the operational success and said it had set back the group severely. Meanwhile, Islamic Jihad put out a statement last week, calling for, quote, unity among resistance groups, which is their official line that the two groups are partners. But Gaza political analyst with local media volcan swear Joe says the rivalry between the two groups has never been more obvious. Hamas a woman. First of all, Hamas wants to protect its authority in the Gaza Strip. There's boiling anger in the streets against the Hamas movement. They are blamed for the very low quality of life in Gaza, and so now they do not want to engage in any war that would increase the level of anger against them from the Palestinians. He says Hamas couldn't jeopardize recent understandings with Israel that would bring economic relief to Gaza. Thousands of Palestinians from Gaza are now allowed to work in Israel and more goods and supplies can go in. But swear Joe says, Islamic Jihad, the more extreme group sees that as selling out. Islamic Jihad say economic incentives that Israel has offered to Gaza has become a knife to the neck of the armed resistance. Another layer is their competition for supporters, swear Joe says Hamas has lost some of its recruiting momentum to Islamic Jihad, unlike Hamas, which participates in elections and now governs, Islamic Jihad has no political ideology or even goals beyond fighting Israel. And that can attract a lot of different groups from Islamists to seculars and leftists. But many ordinary gazans see no difference between

We need an update. We're talking to the author of Jihad, the covert border war. Todd, what's the latest? Talk to us about this caravan, what the Mexican government is or is not doing and the status of title 42? Sure. Well, let's start with the actual border. A judge out of Louisiana as we know stayed the pushback policy kept it in place, the Biden administration responded to that by poking so many exemptions in it that it might as well be gone. The exemptions that they poked in it are for South Americans, middle easterners, Asians, people from all over the world from any country in the world, except for Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador and Mexico. But everybody else gets to the border and within 72 hours they have legal documents and they're on buses, Greyhound and charter buses and American Airlines flights. They pay the tickets to any city in the country. So it gets a document, gets a plane ticket, and they get to choose where they go, correct? That's correct. And that operation is going on 7 days a week, all day long. Right now, all along the Texas border with those nationalities, so it's important to know that those are the nationalities that are getting exempted from 42 and as a result, this caravan that has formed this massive caravan that poor was made up almost entirely of guess what. Those nationalities.

"They've got the gallows sit upside the capitol building. It's time to start fucking using them. And we start hunting them down one by one. To me, it's just especially having authored those two sections and spent the last year just immersed in that cesspool nothing could be clearer than they have this very intricate network of dog whistles to stoke that stochastic terrorism. I struggle with it because I know that he loves attention. Like Trump just loves to be in the spotlight. So now that he's no longer president, I struggle with how much of what he's doing do I share. We know he's out of control and reckless and doesn't give a shit that is going to excuse and deny, et cetera. But at the same time, if you don't talk about him, are you ignoring the problem, don't we need to shine a big white spotlight on this and let everybody know about it, do you struggle with that? Like how much attention do you give the guy? Yeah, yeah, I mean, that certainly is a struggle. And something we talked about when writing the report. And again, we didn't focus a whole lot on Trump in the report itself. But again, the clear end goal of January 6th was to overturn the results of a free and fair election. I mean, 7 million more people voted for Joe Biden than voted for Donald Trump. And they still were trying to put Donald Trump in to power. And they were trying to do that through violence. And that was very clearly one of the things that they were trying to do that day. I think there's a very good argument to be made that it's not necessarily Trump himself that they want. There is a cult of personality happening there. But the rewards that he so willingly gave to the Christian nationalist movement in America. The Supreme Court, for instance. I mean, he rubber anything they wanted he gave them. Rubber stamped absolutely everything. So it is, again, Christian nationalism is inextricable from modern American politics, unfortunately. Let's talk about the Supreme Court. I mean, are you mentioned the racial dividing lines in this country? I mean, what is all this mean? What are the implications? Is it, you know, what happens when we lose a justice at this measure, which justice holding which particular viewpoints or cultural influences, right? Because we've seen talk about the Christian faith represented overwhelmingly in the court. This is not a representative Supreme Court. I'm always saying this out loud. But I mean, what's your take on this whole opening in the Supreme Court? I mean, the Supreme Court has been captured. By Christian nationalists right now. I mean, you have justice Gorsuch the other day talking about the so called separation of state and church. Church and state, as they said. So I think it is this court is, is it an activist court? It's absolutely an activist court. I think it's an illegitimate court. I think it is one of the central problems that we are going to face as a nation is this Supreme Court. As it stands right now with a 6 to three hyper conservative partisan majority. I mean, what is the opening mean? I mean, what is this new appointment, not implied? Oh, I'm sorry. You're talking about justice breyer retiring. I'm sorry. I mean, I know, I'm totally interested in, I mean, after Barrett gets in there, right? And Kavanaugh, et cetera. And we've seen even I would call it infighting within the courts, itself. Sotomayor comes for it, she essentially comes forward and she's like, oh my God. That's the subtext of what I hear when she's making these sort of public statements like, oh, shit. You know, some of my fellow justices have lost the plot. Do you hear that sometimes when she makes a statement? Yes. I mean, justice Sotomayor is just a pillar on the court. I mean, I would love to see 9 of her on the Supreme Court. She's amazing. And she's a staunch defender of the separation of state and church. I mean, it's weird to see the court polarized so publicly, though. I mean, I've seen that in my lifetime, though. I mean, we certainly haven't seen it public facing. And one of the myths that is very popular in this country is that the Supreme Court is an apolitical unbiased jurisprudential body. And I think there has been an active attempt by the members of the court to put forth that story that myth. But I think to a certain extent, it's always been a myth. I think that curtain is falling down more now than ever in the past. In part because it is a more partisan conservative court than we've seen in a very, very long time. Probably at least since probably the 1930s. So it is, I think we are, I think the court is being revealed. I think there have been many times in its past where we've seen kind of waves like this. But it's a broken body at this point. With a new appointment coming up, should we be. Happy, excited, hopeful. With breyer retiring in president Joe Biden getting to nominate a replacement. I am hopeful. I mean, the biggest thing is that Amy Coney Barrett replaced a hyper conservative replaced Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a staunch defender of separation of state and church of women's rights reproductive rights. If that is about as big an ideological swing as you can see on the court. We saw something similar when justice Thomas replaced thurgood Marshall. The conservatives are very good at taking and co opting and flipping liberal seats. That has been a concern with justice breyer simply because of his age on the court. A lot of court watchers have been worried that if he did not retire now, who knows what would happen in the election, then he might die or be forced into retirement and that liberal quote unquote seat would flip to become a hyper conservative. So that danger seems to have passed right now. Not entirely because the Senate is split 50 50 and there are scenarios not involving politics but involving the health of certain senators. Who are democratic senators from states with Republican governors where they can anyway. I walking that language very carefully. I'll just say it outright. What happens if they kick off in the majority switches in the Senate? Would that be, I mean, am I being that could be a disaster? That's not something I expected. So the thing that I worry about. And I worry about this because it would hold the seat on the court open. It would be tumultuous for the country. I don't worry about this for political reasons. The thing that I worry about is a democratic senator dying in a state with a Republican governor where the Republican governor can appoint a senator to replace him. Appoint anybody from either party. And I think there are either around give or take ten. I'm not going to quote an exact number. Of senators. In that situation. And we're in the middle of a pandemic, right?

"This chamber of a few white light of land. Thank you for filling this chamber with patriots that Matthew and their love Christ. That footage that viral footage I actually spoke to the correspondent who filmed that is a guy named Luke mogelson, who's typically a war correspondent. And he told me that he said that the Christianity was one of the surprises to me in covering this stuff and it has been hugely underestimated. And if you finished it up by saying that Christian nationalism that you talk about is the driving force and also the unifying force of these disparate players. It's really the Christianity that ties it all together. And that quote just stuck with me because this is the guy who was on the ground in the building during this attack filming them. And that was, it was a surprise to him, but it was also very clearly the unifying thread. So I think it's crucial that we not minimize it, which I really I worry has been done. They're trying to wipe it from the public memory. I absolutely. And that active attempt to memory hold it to destroy that thread is paired with a general reluctance in the media to say anything that could reflect negatively on religion, right? And those two things could very well end up essentially being death by suicide for the American republic. Let me make sure I understand you. What you're saying that they may call it an insurrection, but they are hesitant to call it a Christian nationalist effort? Exactly. Exactly. So the media has done a great job of talking about all aspects of this insurrection. They're not afraid to call it an insurrection. They're not afraid to talk about sedition and trees and they've done a reasonably good job, but when it comes to the Christian nationalists motivation, the unifying factor, they tend to just kind of get silent. And if you pair that with the active attempt to rewrite that history, rewrite the Christian nationalism out of it that you're seeing from the other side, I mean, that's a recipe for disaster. And for repetition. Well, you've also got these alternate realities that many of these people have locked themselves into and beyond Fox News. Fox News becomes too liberal or heathen or whatever. And then they go to I'm amazed at how these particular outlets have these quote unquote patriotic names, you know? I get my news from freedom eagle slash America slash Jesus slash God and guns dot com. And I know they're telling me the truth. A lot of these really whack a doodle crazy evangelical, right wing outlets are starting to see their day in the sun. Yeah, I mean, I spent a lot of time on those websites and all those outlets while researching for this report. I'm very sorry for your loss. I mean, it was hard, man. There were times where I would come home or not come home because we're all working from home, but I'd be done for the day and I'd go out and talk to Liz, my wife, and I feel just so depressed and dirty and gross. I gotta go take a shower and I just need to like, I need to watch the great British bake off because it's just so good and wholesome. And I need that in my life. So to speak. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's hard. I think when that becomes your normal, and this is part of what I came out of. We used to read a magazine. I don't think it was a news network back then, but back in the 90s, I was a reader of newsmax and they're still around. And it's because we don't trust together media because newsmax will tell us how it really is, and when you locked yourself in that tiny space, it's amazing how the abnormal can.

"Not going to win if we don't do that. I know you assigned a lot of examples in the report and I'll let you speak to some of that. You've been watching the Ohio Senate candidate Josh mandel. He just has the quiet part out loud, right? I do not believe in separation of church and state. There is no such thing. The founders of this country, the founding fathers, they did not believe in separation of church and state. When you read the United States Constitution, nowhere in the United States Constitution, do you read about separation of church and state? It does not exist. Yeah, I mean, he's a walking encyclopedia of all the terrible arguments in favor of Christian nationalism. He is the reason I wrote the founding myth why Christian nationalism is un American. Every argument he's ever made is refuted in that book. The Christian nationalists don't have anything new, right? They've run out of these historical claims. They recycle the same thing over and over again. They rely on repetition to make their point, not truth or accuracy. So this is, again, goes to I think the point I'm trying to make earlier, which is that Christian nationalism is not really about American history or how our country was founded. It's about claiming that to be an American is to be a Christian and to be a Christian is to be an American. And then rewriting our law, accordingly, taking over. I mean, that really is the goal here. So Josh mandel is just a walking encyclopedia of terrible Christian nationalism. I mean, if I may, you've got mandel, you got Franklin Graham, you've got Fox fucking news. Right. And they were always saying, judeo Christian, right? We are founded on judeo Christian principles. You've addressed this whole judeo Christian thing. Would you address it again here, please. Sure. I mean, I think I get into it on page two and three of the book because it's so it's such a common claim, right? And Christian nationalism is an exclusionary movement. And did you Dao in judeo Christian is meant to camouflage that exclusionary movement? It's a fig leaf. It's a sop to an inclusion meant to say, no, no, no, look, see, we're not really as exclusionary and alienating as you think we are. Look, we're going to use this language. But when you really look into how they say this and break this down and I do that in the book, you can tell that when they say judeo Christian, they really mean Christian. And they give that game away all the time. And really the first time we saw that phrase judeo Christian judeo Christianity gained any steam was in the wake of World War II. When a government founded on Christian principles seemed ominously exclusive for the people who had just watched the Nazi Holocaust. So it is really just camouflage a fig leaf. I think that's the best way for people to think about that phrase. You say it's going to be more dangerous you think next time. I'll admit, and I'm a little bit ashamed at how monumentally naive I was years ago when I thought, oh, no. Book bands in this country are you kidding? And this going on in Florida. Book burnings. You got pastor Greg Locke who just in early February burned but they had a big pyre and they threw books on it. I know we burned your book. I was hoping to get one of mine in the mix. You know, I thought, well, you know, I might as well join the party. I don't think I made it, but you've made the cut. You've been burned, right? Yeah, he's single mind out and burned it with a blowtorch. That was a little different. But we holy cow. And there's like a Jihad.

We don't want to have to deal with this, but I don't we don't have the luxury of being tired of this stuff because they've essentially declared war on the rest of us. You know, they're stacking the school boards, they're going after local state, federal government. They got evangelical activist judges that they're sort of planting. I mean, hundreds and hundreds of them. I mean, would you say that the Christian nationalist are being successful right now? They are. They are. Their goal is to take over and they are working hard towards that goal. They want to redefine the American identity to align with the Christian identity. And then they're going to redefine our law accordingly. And they've made a lot of progress toward that goal. One thing that been desperately fighting against at the freedom from religion foundation. I'm writing books about it writing op eds. We're litigating cases. This is one of the existential threats to the American republic right now. Christian nationalism.

It was like some sort of a legitimate free protest. Legitimate political discourse. Thank you for that. Yeah, I was searching for the term legit. They're smashing windows. There's gunfire. There's a noose that's being hung outside the capitol building. What the hell? Have you noticed this sort of, I don't know. It may not even be an uneasy. It might even be a happy silence from the quote unquote moderates out there. Yeah, I mean, you struggle to find the term because that term makes no sense, right? I mean, there was nothing legitimate or discursive about the political discourse, right? It was a violent insurrection meant to overturn the results of a free and fair election. That is what we saw on January 6th. And there were many disparate identities and ideologies that were visible during that attack, but they were united under the banner of Christian.

Is the Biden Administration Funding the Distribution of Crack Pipes?
"So there's a new story that came out, which is that the federal government was going to help people that are doing drugs by providing them with funds to make drugs you safer for addicts. It's a $30 million grant program which closed applications on Monday and will begin again in May. It'll provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drugs use drug use safer for addicts. Including the grant, which is overseen by HHS, our funds quote for smoking kits and supplies. Now the director of the smoking kits and supplies is not Hunter Biden, although he is a subject matter expert in smoking crack cocaine and getting away with it. But the position of the federal government now that we have a 100,000 drug overdose deaths is, you know, the problem is, we don't have enough crack pipes. If you think I'm joking, listen to it yourself, cut 65. Should the Biden administration now has a new plan, they are funding a $30 million program that will distribute smoking kits. These kits include crack and meth pipes. Okay, they're using taxpayer dollars for this. President Biden claims this was part of his executive order that it's supposed to help reduce harm in marginalized communities. No, I'm just going to point out the obvious here. That's the very same federal government that went on an all out Jihad against Ivermectin. So they go out on an all out campaign against hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, all while in the same breath saying, hey, you know what we need to do.

The Concept of Martyrdom
"2000 years ago, a child was born in a manger in Bethlehem, and that singular event. That historical singularity would call it change the world. It created, of course, the Christian religion. But Christianity is not a religion in quite the same way as other religions. Now, if you look at the great religions of the world, they have things in common. They have a common morality. And that's very significant. If you look at the monotheistic religions, they believe in one God, and I think it has to be the same God, even if that same God is described or even named differently. And yet, in other ways, religions are not the same. Christianity, for example, has the concept of the martyr of martyrdom, which goes right to the early Christians. And this is a concept that you find in Christianity and in Islam, by the way, but you don't find it in Judaism. You don't find it in Hinduism. You don't find it in Buddhism. And if you look at the Christian and Islamic concepts of the martyr, they're very different. I mean, for a lot of radical Muslims, a guy, a Muslim 23 or older blows himself up and an Israeli cafe and takes like ten Israelis with him, is a martyr. Why? Because he's doing a Jihad, he's striking a blow, if you will for Allah, but the Christian concept of the martyr is totally different. In the Christian concept, the martyr voluntarily gives up his or her own life rather than renounce or rather than reject the God and Jesus.

Why do we separate sports by gender? Because the differences are obvious to anyone with eyes. And goes on to say, Kieran Smith, the Florida won the men's 500 yard freestyle meet with a time of four minutes and 6 seconds. Thomas competed as a male recently until 2009 as a woman setting records. Transgender advocates want gender to be irrelevant. They want the Olympics, the World Cup, the New York marathon, and the Wimbledon all the gender neutral. They say it's all about acceptance. Tolerance and apathy are signs of a dying society. Aristotle. You see, as soon as we allow tolerance to be a value, the downfall started to go down. It's almost baked into our nomenclature. Don't you notice? Well, you're not very tolerant. So what? Of course I'm not tolerant of men and women's sports. Why would you be? I'm intolerant of such things. Hello, I'm also intolerant of child rapists, human traffickers, and arsonists. Tolerance is a fake virtue. It sounds good, because nobody wants to come across as intolerant. Yeah, and I suppose in a different America, there was unfair discrimination towards individuals of all sorts whether it be women or whatever and the kind of this came out of the tolerance movement came out of such behavior. But like all things that stem from the political correct regime, such things of tolerance have now been that you're not allowed to question anything that all things must be accepted equally. Play cut 55 Tucker on the tranny swimmer. At the University of Pennsylvania, a biological man has decided to say that he's a woman. He's a swimmer, and he's destroyed the women's swimming records. Of course, because he's a man, actually. The swimmer goes by the name of Leah Thomas competed for three years as a man before he decided to identify as a woman in a recent women's competition. He just won a 500 yard freestyle by a full 14 seconds. Now, if you swim to a swimming 14 seconds? That's time to have to get a beer and come back. There's no 14 second differences between swimmers. But there are now. It's amazing when you type in this man's name. The New York Post is like the only mainstream outlet that actually calls it for what it is, which is a scam.

Yeah, between us and ice and the Taliban, I guess an Al-Qaeda kind of crazy coverage is that. Sparks debate. Yeah, I'm sure you could go find someone in the Middle East that was in favor of 9 11. And no, I'm not comparing this to 9 11, okay? For all the media matters people at home. The point is that the way you cover something is incredibly important. There is no debate here, okay? If you support a man participating in women's sports, then make your position clear that you think women sports should not exist. It's that simple. That gender differences are irrelevant and that if you dare support them, then move on.

Bill gates are pretty interested in life. Extension technologies full pause. Because you guys dropped a truth bum on the and We got jeffrey epstein. What's that really all about. Jeffrey epstein gifted children We're still looking into. That was a that was a lead that our our buddy at and gong discovered. And yeah we talked about that with him. I think still digging into it because we're still finding more and more. Yeah yeah interesting. Very interesting angle on. This is jeffrey epstein's life as gifted child. And jimmy. what he did was draw. Like a very interesting connection between him and figures like jackson fati and what we strive for who you actually had show what we strivers actual life. You know. it's a bit muddy like one doesn't quite know but the theme in his putatively autobiographical work like a secret. School involving communion with the entities and the description by jackson and daniel sheehan of gain this call on the god phone and of what we did in our episode dealing with this topic with jimmy. Was we kind of route. This idea through the discussion of this sort of idea of gifted children. Jeffrey epstein's past and you know being involved in gifted children programs and walter brain.

Because i interviewed i interviewed him on this and we specifically talked about the.

"But he's a big tent fundamentalist christian. That believes that. There's this book that has answers to how we should live our life and talk about conspiracy which has been my kind of thing. Lately is unwilling to explore the possibility that the the really the authors of the book were part of a social engineering project and using the well-worn play of throughout history. But that the romans really perfected which is like sure rocks and arrows are are great. But if i can control you by controlling in re scripting your religion all the better. So i don't know where where to me that kind of trump's the art history thing of getting to the fundamental reality of what we're talking about with something like evil or satanic or you know whatever the s doing very interesting i mean i think the best art does deal with those topics on there is a philosophical dimension to what art engaged with. I mean even marina brown fish. You know her work really. Does those questions on. It has the symbolic of that. So powerful that people people's because performance art does have a ritual dimension to it which touches on these religious ideas you know. That's it's the intersection that creates the interest. So i think that yeah absolutely right and we do Off deal with these ideas on. The show is very heavily inspired by these questions. I really on these concepts by. Yeah i think that you know well for for one. Muslims certainly don't necessarily disagree with what you said about christianity in notion. But you know. Of course there's well wait a minute on on full stop full. Stop if we're going to go there. I mean you guys are still looking at the book and say in. The book has all the rules whether it's the old testament or whether it's the koran you're still saying hey it comes through this book and to let's just be real for most people you just go for real really college. That's you believe there's this book there's an true for most people. I think that most people do believe something like that about book and we don't believe that it's magic. We believe that it's prophetic revelation from la. But the fact is that there's all of a sudden interpretations of of the book you know. The interpretation of the book is a is something that happens in between the text itself. You know there's something that you know. Islamic philosophers and thinkers like always acknowledged that something happens in between the in the act of reading. Now the koran is i existed verbally you know this is something that you know or and you know it cuts. It's reading and it's also a recitation. You know it's something that when you recite the koran and it's an accident takes place with your entire body. And there's a bit of a digression but there's always an interpretive praxis labs and that's why within his slam there's so many different interpretations of the koran if you go through history even have isa tarik sacks that interpret the koran and different ways people who read the words a lot of the and isn't cut and dry some of it is the grant itself says that some verses are straightforward and others are mad as allegorical. They're open to different sort of interpretations and and the but it doesn't specify which are which so. There's great as sort of a debate about this. You know the the divinity of the koran doesn't really minimize the what you're talking about. I think what you're getting at the fact that there is a dimension of human interpretation you know it's about the interaction with the book you know. No book exist without the reader. You know it only exists so far as we read it engage the interpret it so to the book. Can't just program us you know. It's not like a software that we insert into ourselves. You know maybe some. Muslims would like it if that were the case..

"You think you can lose forever. Kao's why you got the wrong guy. My name's simon. Let me go. There's no need to kill me. I haven't seen a doctor over. Your career is an international. Terrace has been well documented. So cars that's all. I'm not a terrorist. Actually a complete coward oversaw. No please don't go. Yes yes a throwback movie to the good old days arnold schwarzenegger tom arnold. bill paxton. Yuck in it up in true lies about a fun. Covert intelligence operation. Not at all scary. Where the terrorists are really just used car salesman. Oh the good old days. Maybe they weren't so good. Here's what was really going on t. If in vietnam into doing this very very movie operation called out wandering soul he develops these recordings known as ghost tape number. Ten and basically what they do is they would play. These sort of eerie sounds in wailings. The idea of this was to sort of suggest than to play off a what they imagined as being the vietnamese belief in wandering ghosts and spirits. It's very sam harris iva sneering thing where it's like we can manipulate these savages beliefs. Even bring it up to the eighties to the to michael kunas very odd performances on oprah and the raw show when he went on to you know basically defend of set and satanic practices and stuff during the height of the so called satanic panic. You could almost parallel between operation wandering soul and what. He was doing there because he was going on tv. In such a provocative way where it's like he knew he was going to basically trigger of the conservative christian types. That were being terrified. By what oprah and roll though and all these other people were saying about how. There's these evil cults but then he also sitting there and going like that. It's actually not true. I am you know. I might have devil eyebrows and have this like you know like very witchy wife and tough and seem very sinister. But you know actually. There's nothing to see here. In the sense of the real goal of the recording of wandering soul was to get the viet cong soldiers to to get angry and reveal their position and expose themselves and it was all about eliciting a psychological reaction that was actually not exactly. What the kind of extensible goal of of the operate of psi. So i got this interview coming up with the guys from subliminal jihad which is fantastic podcasts. That i discovered in hamlet you to check out as well we cover so many topics in this interview. But one of the focus points is this guy. Michael aquino who is a satanist pedophile. Probably murderer of children almost for sure. And a guy who was legitimately embraced by our military and intelligence organizations. I mean he was totally embedded was highly highly regarded for his knowledge in insights for mind control and mind games. Here's an additional clip. for instance. You mentioned the working on the devil you know..
