"Shit you're poor. You eat rice and beans like a poor person, damn it. You wear cheap clothes so that your poverty is apparent to us all from a distance. You can have your electricity turned on, but you have to grovel a little bit first. And here's a fucked up fact you might not know. In order to be eligible for the big federal welfare grants, states have a minimum that they have to spend helping the poor people in their own states, right? But it turns out the states get to set the rules on how they're calculating that and a bunch of states actually count the work that nonprofits do as though it was state money being spent. So the state of Utah actually counts a bunch of money donated through the church towards that total. They have an official memorandum of understanding about that. You can read it in the fucking article I'll have it linked in the show notes. Of course, as you might have noticed when I was outlining the system, this doesn't work super well for people who don't have a bishop. While many, if not most bishops will offer assistance to people, even if they're not more not all of them do. It's ultimately at the discretion of the bishop whether you can have access to that money solely. And it's not like there's some appeals process you could turn to anyway. The article has stories of people who had to get baptized to access aid, but Mormons who were denied it because they hadn't been tithing enough leading up to this shit. Women who were denied aid because they got pregnant out of wedlock and of course stories of people being turned down because they were gay. And that's the system that Christians want. Christians are fine helping the poor as long as the poor acknowledge their inferiority. They can have the help as long as somebody gets to sit and arbitrary judgment of them. And it's worth emphasizing here how many people who need 8 or single mothers and contrast that with the fact that 100% of the bishops making these decisions are men. They're gonna have food and clothing and healthcare and heat, but they better never act like they're a title to it. And they better be willing to sit through a lecture from an overprivileged cis hat white guy who can well actually them onto the straight and narrow. So yeah, it's not about them getting the theology wrong. It's about us giving them too much fucking credit. Christians love the poor, so much so that they had never wanted to do anything that would risk getting rid of them. They're talking about wheelchairs. Broadcast regular special news. Joining me for headlines tonight are the scattered and smothered in my cupboard. He then write an Eli positive fellas. Nice. Are you ready to hash things out? Oh, you have given us some great compliments on this show, Noah, but to rise to the level of the obverse menu, that's too much. You flatter us, sir. You flatter us. I don't think those are adverbs. Are there adverbs in that? Smothered? That's not her. That's either a past tense of a verb or it's being used as an adjective to describe hash browns. It's not an advertisement. Nope. In our lead story tonight, we have a headline with some teeth, it's about Joel osteen. You know how innocent people are always hiding very large stockpiles of secret cash inside the walls of their building? No. Yeah, me neither. I do not know that. Nobody knows that. That's what evil people do. At their lair. That's for layers. Yes. Which you can really only get if you're evil. And I think that's actually the only zoning law in Texas. It's about layers. And it's mostly just about how layers don't have laws. And in this case, they don't have any property tax either. So here's what happened with Joel osteen. According to a plumber, who has recently working at Joel osteen's Lakewood church in Houston, Texas, a huge stash.

"The post office again. Okay, what about we board weed. We Man. And now, back to the headlines. In our lead story tonight, they're literally trying to kill us, y'all. And well, it might be technically inaccurate to say that religion is trying to kill us. We're talking about a group of people that's virtually all religious and they're used in religion to do it. So it's almost a distinction without a difference at this point. When it's death, the correlation causation thing. It's not important to think. Exactly. And by the way, when I say us, of course, I don't mean atheist. I mean, humanity. And since I could literally be talking about at least a dozen different topics that we regularly discussed on this show to this point, let me narrow things down a bit. I was gonna say. Yeah. This week's lead story is about them trying to kill us with COVID using religious exemptions again. Specifically, it's about a lady getting a quickie ordination and immediately passing out over a 150 religious exemptions to mask mandates. Fuck your face. It's like the murder version of getting ordained so you can do your buddy's wedding. Yep. She got our dang so she could do her friends and family's funerals, I guess. Yeah, exactly. Okay, I think blue states and blue localities need to start leaning in all the way on this thing. If you want a religious exemption to the vaccine in like California or New York, I think you have to wear a plague mask with the giant beak. There you go. All black leather, something like that. If they think we're persecuting them anyway, we might as well get some enjoyment out of it. And actually persecute them, right? At least get to persecute. Yeah. So I hate to keep harping on the existential threat to our lives and prosperity. But this story is such a perfect exemplar of exactly the kind of shit we've been talking about that I had to arm you with. The homicidally misguided idiot at the center of this story is Kristen grant. An Ohio man that noticed a loophole in the school districts mask mandate specifically, it's said that if a student submitted paperwork signed by a religious official, they didn't have to wear a mask. Now, keep in mind that there's literally no religion in all the goddamn world that has a faith based reason not to wear a mask. Isn't that one of the commandments? No. As it turns out, there's literally no known religion on earth that ever said anything about that at all prior to 2020. Yeah, if there was a religion that knew about germs, it would be called the right one. Yep. Yeah. And yet, the school district felt compelled to add that line. So first and grant got herself ordained by the universal life church, which is the religious equivalent of a diploma mill. Seriously, they've ordained hats before four states specifically have rules saying their ordinations don't count for fucking weddings. It's easy. It's one of like 9 churches in America, the IRS is iffy about giving a tax exempt status to. And yet it was good enough for medical exemptions. Okay, okay, no joke a few years ago when I put out my all churches or bad challenge. DMT MTM, someone offered this one as an example of a good church. So one more notch in the bed post, everybody we found it. Yeah. And they're literally the least churchy of any church according to the U.S. government. And there's still a giant problem. This is basically your closing argument QED part of your thesis there. Right. Yeah. So armed with those rock solid credentials, grant proceeded to pass out signed exemptions to mask mandates to anybody who asked for one. And among the most terrifying details of this story, that was a 169 fucking people. Tight. Tight tight tight tight tight. Yeah, also competing for most terrifying detail is the fact that the district went on to accept all 169 of those even though you've got to imagine that literally every single person with a mask exemption was getting it from her. And apparently, that wasn't the only school district she was signing exemptions for. Okay, I want to put this carefully. I'm not saying it would be funny if she and her family got COVID and died. I am saying it would be fitting. It would be fitting. I don't know. Let's think about the funny thing. Isn't it? Okay, well, if she died from like a piano or anvil situation, that's definitely funny. That is funny. Okay. All of it. All right. If she had COVID while dying from a piano situation, that would be both fitting. She beats COVID and she walks out and then the piano there you go. Okay, okay, that's pretty funny. All right, so when questioned about the ruse about how she determined if they had a genuine religious objection to the mandate, grant defended her murderous bullshit thusly, quote, it's not my job to prove or really ask, and it's not my business what their religion necessarily is. I'm a constitutional Christian. What? I think the constitution is there for a reason. God created our bodies in a perfect way. That is in the constitution. So in other words, my political whim supersede the public good because I'm Christian. And look, I know political parties don't generally have slogans, but if the Republicans are looking for one, yeah. Alternate slogan if we die, it's fitting and maybe funny. Yeah. The Republican Party, we are Robert nozick's utility monster, the party, non ironically. Seriously. That's what we are. And in old Steen can't you pee pee news. Okay. As businesses struggle to survive the first COVID lockdowns, as mom and pop shops across this nation close their doors forever in the face of shutdown, Joel osteen's Lakewood church in Houston, Texas, ample provider of absolutely fucking nothing received 4.4 $1 million in PPP loans to keep their busy staff of nothing doers employed. And this week we learned that they're giving at least some of that money back. Probably because they didn't keep all their nothing to us while they were shut down. Yeah. Right. And by the way, before anybody says, well, I mean, their employees like any other, I want to remind you that churches are exempt from EEOC regulations with the excuse that they're not like any other employer. So in this instance, they had their take 8 two and then gave it back. And just to be clear, their cake is legalized, the bigotry and stealing tax dollars for nothing. And now they're giving back regurgitated tax dollars. Still keeping the bigotry. Yeah. So if you're wondering, why is osteen giving the money back? Well, we don't know. His church has less than 500 employees, so he's not obligated to repay the loan as long as he used it for staffing. And my guess is based on nothing but the shiny shiny evil radiating from osteen's teeth, that's not what happened. This is a dude who lives in a $10 million mansion who publicly bragged to his congregation about buying a $300,000 Ferrari. I think he saw the money when all hungry hungry hippos on it. And repaying this loan is the church cleaning up his mess. Well, right? Because thanks to our fucked up legal system, those $4.4 million were the only dollars he was accountable for in any fucking way. Yeah, they were already looting the public coffers so much already. The PPP loans is just a new version of wasting money on magical nothing. Quick reminder, we give religion about $85 billion a year as a tax subsidy for the magical nothing they do. Just in the U.S., that's just the U.S.. But don't worry everybody, that very probable reason for repayment hasn't stopped Lakewood church from telling everyone who will listen that they're just given the money back like at some fantastic act of charity. Right, yeah, no, it's like when you thwart a crime by thinking of a better thing to do that. Exactly. So news of this return has been un skeptically and admiringly reported just about everywhere, as though giving the money back now at their own pace and I should point out stopping whenever the fuck they want to was the same as not rating government coffers during one of the most fragile times for small business in the last 50 years. Either way, I guess it's good that Joel osteen's church has less money. Sure. I mean, giving money to Lakewood is essentially throwing money down a hole if that hole was also somehow racist sexist and homophobic. And it is 2021, so I'm gonna take the win where I can. I'll take the win where I can. And in Zucker face news, Facebook, mostly shut down for a few hours last week, preventing everyone from arguing about nothing and sharing dank memes at which point millions of people flew into a murderous rage. And we have two theories on the cause of that..

Lakewood said the pc loan was crucial for them during such a time of need like many organizations temporarily shuttered by the pandemic this loan provided lakewood church short-term financial assistance and twenty twenty ensuring that it's approximately three hundred and fifty employees and their families would continue to receive a paycheck and full health care. Benefits lakewood reportedly provided a statement from its bank showing that it's made payments on the multi-million dollar loan since january lake according to data released by the spa lakewood was among at least sixty religious institutions in texas that received more than a million dollars in loans through the federal cares act The program was met with controversy because it was the first time the federal government offered a direct line of financial assistance to untaxed religious and nonprofit groups while lakewood has chosen to pay the money back.

All right, well back Steve Sanchez with you on this Friday edition to the show, and in fact, the eve of the 20th anniversary Of those terrorist attacks that happened on September 11th. So a lot of controversy in terms of what happened. What didn't happen. We're all going to have our opinions, and that's never gonna change regardless. That's not really where I want to go because you know where. If you've listened to this show any length of time, you know where I stand and what I believe That's not going to change either. I really want to kind of give you a little background about me for a moment and then I want to hear from you, and I'm gonna go to these busy calls. In terms of you know. Where were you When this happened? 20 years ago, 9 11. Where were you? Were you there? Were you watching TV? Were you in school now for me? My wife and I had, uh, we're just celebrating our nine year anniversary. Yes, 9 11 happened on our wedding anniversary. So we just had hit nine years We were getting dressed. In fact, my wife came and got me from the restroom area where I was getting dressed. And she said, My God, a plane went into the twin towers in New York. It's somewhat you know, And this was, you know, 6 30 in the morning or something like that West Coast time. We were living, you know, out here in the West, obviously, so I'm like, so I put the TV on and you're seeing it and you're shocked. And then just moments later, you see the other plane going through the twin tower, the other one, and I knew and I told my wife I said This was a declaration of war that that wasn't an accident. And she said What? And I said there was, you know, And obviously the chaos ensued from there, and, sadly, we lost a tremendous amount of lives and Not only innocent citizens of every walk of life, every color every race, every sexual persuasion, every political persuasion. Every religious belief system just doesn't matter. Innocent people died. Lot of first responders died. You know, police officers, etcetera. So it was. It was a tough time and tough time. That also led me to give my life to Christ. Just so you know, because a lot of people don't know my story is not a Christian show, not a Bible show. That's okay. I'm going to still give you the truth and my testimony. You know, um it shocked me to the core 9 11. It shocked me to the core that We were that vulnerable and seeing people. Make a decision to jump from the building. Versus being burned to death. Still hunts me today as it hunts many of you today. As it haunts the victims, families. Will always haunt them. So It shocked me and and, you know, hit me to the core about life and what was important, and my life was so much different than on September 11 2000 and one You know, very different in terms of how I behaved and how you know I was out there like a fool. So just a few days later. On September 14th. I gave my life to Jesus Christ. And one of the fundamental things was when I heard George W. Bush speaking at the chapel, and I heard Franklin Graham, you know, speaking and then I was exposed and introduced Goldstein. I know a lot of people don't like Joel and I get it and I don't care if you do or you don't. But Joel Goldstein was the guy that I needed at that time to turn a very hard hearted man like myself around and and I think many people have similar stories about Joel Stein in that regard, met Joel handful of times going out to Lakewood Church with the family. And I'm not going to go into 1000% detail of everything, but I just wanted to give you a quick picture. So you know, with the tragedy that came out of 9 11 for me personally from my family, we got saved and we found the Lord and been serving him since. And so that was a positive that came out of it for me personally from a tremendous tragedy. Tremendous tragedy on our wedding anniversary. That was me. That was where we were at. That's what we were doing. What were you doing? Where were you at? And I'm sure you have countless stories of this horrible, horrible tragedy. So you know, tomorrow needs to be kind of a chilled day in in terms of put the freaking politics on the shelf, baby. Tomorrow. We're not. Republicans and Democrats, not independence were not that tomorrow. We're just Americans that are going to bow our head and mourn and remember simple and then everybody can get back to business on Sunday. Uh, or Monday, uh, with beating the hell out of each other. That's just the little wisdom. You can take it or leave it because it is absolutely free for you. Let's get right back to business. Susan your next welcome to the high, Steve. How you doing? He good. Hey, congratulations on your syndication. Well, I appreciate that. Thank you. Hey, So, you know, I've listened to my gut soul for many years, basically, since I was a kid. And there's something creepy about this vaccine, and the longer it goes on and this mandate now it's getting creepier..

But i think somebody else someone else with that one where it's like you know all these people come to this church and they wanna trust these big time pastures because they feel like they know what they're doing right so they're like oh well he's telling me you know about this guy like it was kinda gross how this ephron went out in front of all the people and he's like out there touting like hey everybody did you want to invest in god today best in yourself like all this crap now that he's just like making everybody believe in church. Oh yeah i have. I have two of his pre stuff. Yeah i guess he was the son of a preacher so he you know grew up with that culture right right when you hear it every day it probably came naturally to him to know the language and to be able to inspire people and that was the thing they they all thought. I heard this a lot from reading. A lot of their stories is that they felt like they were doing god's work because they were investing in laundromats and low income housing terrible. Just terrible to feel like you're giving your money to this stuff and turns out it's actually for crappy music video week. The entire pricing worship and holy spirit. Something that had never happened before. I've never been in his presence like that by the holy spirit is a hard act follow. He was invited to a lakewood church classroom. Give a presentation. Several lakewood church on dear financial principal or storage in the spirit. Anita was inattentive. If the core principles is investing wisely on simply and the purpose of furthering the kingdom it also wants us to be prosperous. There was a series of prints seminars over a period of several weeks and once called. Bear your child's during seminar only potential investors in i will herald of talents in it does take risks and invest their talents or on our reward. Those who very with their challenge on each one of you is esther on of the wise really appreciated the fact that only on from fishing in his dad was a pastor so those were some of the reasons trusting. Yeah that's pretty crazy. So he swindled just millions of dollars off of these people lied to him. About what the investments were. I think i saw that. They went to try to find the address of his business. His home and it was like a po box in a ups store. You know super shady stuff. There was also a woman that was working with him and she was like. Yeah i kind of had a feeling that this wasn't on the up and up and some of the meetings. She was having with them. Then you know some of the people got mad and like went to that office stormed in there like where whereas all my money you know. 'cause i keep promised everybody like a twenty percent return which that's pretty high like for anybody. Anything really yeah. So yeah yeah and you know. My thought is like these poor people like i think there was a lady that had and i'm sure there's a bunch more out there victims that had to like claim bankruptcy basically for this like they lost their entire life savings that they work for. Probably some shitty job for you know thirty or forty years and they basically lost everything they made so they basically can't ever retire now because of this asshole. That's pretty shitty and it's like how can you like wake up every morning and be like well. I'm gonna go and preach the word of god to all these people and nice steal all their money. Yeah like with my fake investments. That you know it's like he made up a bunch of paperwork. I mean the victims even said they would send him pictures of like the the properties. I've had crap like that happened to me too in my own life. You know where it's like you hire someone to do something in there like. Yeah this is my work like these pictures you know. It could just be so convincing in the new. Find out that. They're like to not what they say that they are so. It really sucks. When you get swindled bike that i think so the the guy eddie long he came out and apologize because one of the ladies went to him and said hey. What are you going to do about this. And he was like. I can't do anything. I don't have any money at long. And i feel like he's a little bit to blame to. I'm surprised it didn't get more in trouble. But i guess there's no legal reason but i would. She left that church because she was basically like this. Is this kind of crap. Why did you bring this person here. Did you know him. Did you know who's going to do this. Yeah they just blindly trusted him. And that's their fault and so those churchgoers trust eddie. Long angel- hosting they trust them and they go and listen to him once a week in hours and they're probably friends outside of you know a lot of them hang out together and stuff. I don't know. But i just think they should have been held accountable a little bit more. Yeah because they're they're really brought them in in the first place and they should have vetted them they should. They should have looked at all the paperwork because the paperwork was just looked at me like it was just him printing out like newsletter and typing things up himself. It wasn't like official stocks paperwork or anything like that it looked kind of unofficial to me but official enough to make it look real. I guess they said some of it was real. They said some of the investments were actually investments. It didn't make twenty percent but they were right. Yeah just enough. Apparently.
