Eric Welcomes Steve Deace to the Show to Discuss "Nefarious"
"Steve days. Welcome. Hey brother, good to see you. I'm wearing my TP USA faith, God over government, hoodie brother, so I'm ready for war. Let's go. We're on the we're on the same page. Well, you and I today, we've got some time, we've got two things to talk about in particular, specifically, one is the film nefarious and the other is your new book rise of the fourth Reich confronting COVID fascism with a new Nuremberg trial so this never happens. Again, co written with Daniel Horowitz, which of these should we talk about first? Let's start with nefarious because it is coming up shortly. And I think, unfortunately, and tragically, what we were reminded of in Nashville earlier this week is we are a nation that is mired in an open spiritual warfare and I say this as someone who theologically Eric would come probably from a more classically reformed position, but I'm not going to ignore the signs of the times in which we live. And it is clear that the streets of America are overflowing now, we have pierced the darkness with open and reckless spiritual warfare. And that just so happens to be the movie that we have spent the last two years making. It's about that very topic. Well, you know, my theology is all about reality. Whatever is is. You know, like some people focus more on this, some people focus more on this. And the point is, God invented this thing we call reality, and there's a spiritual reality and how we deal with it. I want to go obviously in accordance with reality. And the reality, if you're any kind of Christian, because a lot of people say, I'm a Christian, okay, well then you believe in angels and demons and Jesus cast out demons, and this is real. This is not like a happy story from 2000 years ago. It is real. And in what we're seeing worked out in public life as you just said, what I find fascinating, Steve, is that a lot of people who wouldn't normally go there go to the idea that we need God, this is evil.

Rep. Ralph Norman: If America Defaults, It's on Biden
"Trying to wrap my head around these numbers Congress, but they're insane. Not only is it saying, but when you ask, go down Main Street USA in ask any business owner or any family, how things going for you. What do you think about the price of gas? Is your business doing well? What about supply shortages of things? And no, the countries are tough shape. And it's all self induced. It's self induced by the administration. It took over a booming economy back from president Trump was in office. But the good news is, I mean, it's like taking your car to mechanic, can tell you all the wrong things, but I think what Americans want to know is how are you going to fix it? The way you're going to fix it is what we're doing. Okay. And so is it going to make everybody happy? No. But we're starting the trajectory of less spending in a balanced budget and if the president shuts this economy down, if the president causes America to default, it's going to be on him because we're getting our budget out in a timely manner. And it's going to be for all Americans to see starting tomorrow. We told the press today we're going to file all our amendments today and they can look and see if what we're doing if we're doing what we say we're doing, which we are.

Transgender Domestic Terrorist Kills Christian Children
"A terrible mass shooting by a transgender domestic terrorist. Shooting up Christian families and Christian kids at a Christian school. Now I put it this way because this is not the way it appears in virtually any headline that you read about this incident. I have a list of headlines here from various newspapers and there are two key missing words in these headlines. Number one, you don't see the word transgender. And number two, you don't see the word Christian. So the typical headline is something like hang on, let me pull it up right here. But something like 6 dead in shooting incident. Well, here we go. And yes, no mention of transgender, no mention of Christian, and in fact, there were some corrections and a bunch of newspapers corrections on MSNBC, USA Today, and so on and the correction was about misgendering the shooter. So USA Today, police on Monday afternoon said that the shooter was a transgender man, officials had an initially migen identified the gender of the shooter. So in other words, the shooter is a biological woman who was in transition to becoming a man and apparently it was, I think, was it Audrey hey, I believe, is the name of the shooter. And she was in the process of becoming, well, I forget the male name now. But jeez, this is the focus of the correct. They're worried about the feelings of the transgender perpetrator.

"All of you that are experiencing some form of your own individual torment, I want you to know that the reason we do these events is to remind you you're not alone to show you that there's many people that share your values. That's why we do what we do at turning point USA. And it's also to show that we can beat these people. That these people are beatable when we embrace the truth and we go to places where we're not always comfortable, that's when we make the biggest impact.

Sacramento Bee Falsely Accuses Charlie of Trans Lynching Comments
"The things we do at turning point USA and we believe firmly in our core is that we should go to we should intentionally go to places where we are in the philosophical, religious and ideological minority, that we need to go to places where we are not always going to get the warmest welcome. And in fact, I think one of the reasons that we have lost our country is that far too often conservatives are afraid to go into the left wing bastions and speak the truth. And so we had this campus event schedule that University of California Davis for quite some time and what happened last night was something I've never experienced in my now ten years of doing this. I have given over a 120 speeches on campus. I've given over thousands and thousands of lectures and as many of you know, radio and podcast thing. I've never seen what has happened and what is unfolded because it wasn't just the students or the antifa terrorists. What unfolded in the last 24 hours is so telling about how the elites and how leaders are involving themselves in the incitement of violence against conservatives. And I'll prove this to you and I'll show it to you. It's disturbing in more ways than one. So yesterday morning we were hosting our radio program and they were already talking a big game at University of California Davis. And the Sacramento bee, which is the local newspaper in the Sacramento area published a newspaper article, calling me a fascist speaker, and that's not true, but I can roll my eyes and say whatever. But the byline of the article took my breath away. It said, Charlie Kirk is coming to University of California Davis, who has openly called for the lynching of trans people. I have not only have I never said that. I haven't even remotely ever gotten close. It is a fabricated total completely fake lot. But the Sacramento bee ran with it. And so immediately we mentioned it on our program, we emailed ahead of the Sacramento bee. We said, hey, this is an Internet rumor of somebody that's a trans activist that came after Charlie because he didn't like his strong opinion when he said, quote, in the 1950s and 1960s, men would not have allowed men to compete against women in women's sports or go into women's locker rooms, they would have dealt with it. That was the exact quote

NY Post: Trump Threatens 'Death and Destruction' to Alvin Bragg
"Didn't have this on my bingo card. Trump posts disturbing photo with Alvin Bragg threatens death and destruction. Here's the New York Post characterizing the last 24 hours. Former president Trump sparked outrage by sharing images showing him holding a baseball bat next to Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg's head as he threatened death and destruction if he is criminally charged, Trump shared the image, which was featured in a link to an article on his truth social platform, he kept on raging until the early hours of Friday morning with continued incendiary name calling, he wrote after 1 a.m., here's what he posted after one in the morning. What kind of person can charge another person in this case a former president who got more votes than any sitting president in history and leading candidate by far for the Republican Party nomination with a crime when it is known by all that no crime has been committed and also known that potential death and destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our country. Why and who would do such a thing only a degenerate psychopath that truly hates the USA? Now, like I said, never thought I'd be asking you about stuff like this.

How Do We Take Back Academia?
"Do we start to take academia back? What is the best route to achieve that? Well, that's a great question. Thank you for the enthusiasm and the fact that turning point USA has positively impacted your life makes the last decade of work worth it. So thank you. That really touches me. And for those of you that support turning point USA, you're changing lives every single day. Secondly, to take academia back, look, it's I'm not convinced it's possible in certain areas. I think we have to build new colleges and new institutions. Jordan is doing that with the university of Austin and many other places. But you have to do what we're doing here tonight. You have to try to show up, start turning point USA groups in California. It's hard because the board of regents is just completely and totally lost and out of control. And that's just too bad. And it's a shame. But look, the problem with academia is conservatives don't want to go into it for good reason and liberals just continue to or left wingers continue to protect their own. My big fear is that this woke ideology is now infiltrating the social sciences. It's also infiltrating engineering and mathematics. The things that you thought would be immune to the kind of racial preference worldview is now totally and completely infiltrated. And so I wrote a whole book called the college scam. So I'm not exactly big on saving higher education. But I do think there is a place for higher education. And it pains me because I go and I visit to hillsdale college quite often. Hillsdale college is America's greatest college, by the way. They do a fabulous job. And it pains me because I see how good education could be.

UC Davis Leaders Incite Riots & Violence at Charlie Kirk's Event
"University of California, Davis, Charlie Kirk, from turning point USA, was giving a speech. About a thousand people were in attendance. This was a very well planned out speech, and a heavily promoted in the area, and everybody was pretty riled up about this. I mean, some crazy stuff going down. They had a hundreds of protesters. In the campus on the campus, causing all sorts of chaos and all sorts of mayhem. As a matter of fact, at one point, they were actually trying to storm the auditorium where Charlie and all these conservative students were being gathered. And by the way, this was not some sort of a weird, this wasn't some sort of an all conservative gathering. This was, this was something else, something else was going on. Something very disturbing. And we're going to get into this this hour of the program. Because I think we need to have a conversation in this country about whether or not we should be funding universities. That are actually refusing to defend free speech. Now, we're going to play some audio here, and you're going to hear this for yourself. This is the Chancellor of the University of California Davis. They put out a video. Earlier in the day. And quite frankly, the university and the Sacramento bee newspaper are guilty of inciting this violence last night, a police officer was injured, another student on campus was injured. There was a lot of damage, a lot of evangelism, but thank goodness for the UC Davis campus police and other law enforcement agencies that were able to get there to the university and stop the violence from spreading. But all of this was incited by the university leadership. This

Riots, Arrests Following Charlie Kirk's Speech at UC Davis
"A little clip of it on Fox News this morning, not a big story. I want to get this straight. The Chancellor of UC Davis puts out a video, hours before Charlie is to speak, denouncing Charlie, attacking turning point USA, lying about Charlie, accusing him of being a vicious demagogue. Who wants to hurt people who wants violence against people, that came from the Chancellor of UC Davis, University of California Davis. In anticipation of Charlie's speaking engagement, well, look at what happened last night. They rioted. They committed thousands and thousands of dollars worth of damage. There's a video showing a row of protesters outside a bank of doors that are locked and the police are inside the video is taken from somebody on a cell phone camera. They start kicking through all the doors. They kick in all the doors. Shattering all the glass, guess how many people were arrested at the riot. You ready for this? Now if you've seen the video and you see all the tussles with cops and fighting with cops and breaking the windows, spraying people with pepper spray, assaulting people, you know, it's the normal antifa crap, the leftist, the Democrat leftists, who want a fascist shut down, speech they disagree with. That you're not allowed to hear it. You want to go show up on a college campus somewhere and listen to Charlie Kirk or who else, Bethany mandel. She got protested the other day, Ben Shapiro, any of these very effective young conservative voices who gravitate to college campuses, you're out of luck. There's going to be a riot.

Christian, In Name Only
"A lot of universities that have a Christian name only have a Christian name, the content is just as woke as any place else. What is the story with Cal Lutheran? Yeah, you are absolutely right about that. Is a private Christian school. So upon coming here, I assumed it would be somewhat conservative. But I found out that leftism has replaced religion at and other Christian universities in California. And when I got here, I realized there were barely any conservative clubs and leftism and wokeism were being pushed down my throat and every class I was in. I recall when on even international Holocaust remembrance day, my school not only issued no statement, but instead decided to hold a ceremony on campus that day, honoring the stolen land that our campus apparently resides on instead. And this just proves how this school prioritizes a woke agenda over everything else. And I was really inspired to get more involved in the conservative movement after realizing this. It was horrible my turning point USA chapter that I actually had on campus here got kicked off campus for not aligning apparently with having diverse and inclusive values, which is what the school preaches. So I was really happy to discover PragerU and get more involved with prager source as well to find other young people with like minded values, especially in California as well.

USA Powerlifting to Allow Trans Athletes to Compete After Losing Suit
"Now, we're celebrating women's month this month, right? Right, everybody, aren't we all celebrating? Yesterday was international women's day. So I think many on the left and progressive end of things are thinking, no better way to celebrate than to continue erasing women. And we need to talk about this story here. Here's a headline out of New York Post. USA powerlifting to allow trans athletes to compete with women after losing suit. So a U.S. power lifter and transgender lifter by the name of JC Cooper, one his discrimination case against the organization. Apparently, she, I guess I we're going to get mixed up with the pronouns here as we always do on trans issues. Cooper filed a complaint with the Minnesota department of human rights in 2019, claiming the organization had violated that state's human rights act after he was barred from competing in the women's division. In 2021, he filed a lawsuit against the USA powerlifting in state court. Quote, I was fed up with the way I was being treated. I was fed up with the way that my community was being treated and enough was enough. And the court heard out JC Cooper and said, you know what? This is discrimination.

We had in the books to ward off Putin, but nope, the B team was involved. Blinken and Biden. Two not very smart people. And now we're in a proxy war. Why aren't we sanctioning China more? I mean, I thought the deal was if you do business with Russia, then you don't get to do business with the USA. So much for that. Team Biden has no clue how to use its financial tools. To address this aggression, if the Biden administration had ever known what it was doing at all, you know what it never would have tried to shut down the U.S. fossil fuel industry ride ahead of the Ukraine situation. I mean, how dumb can you really get? This is a game of chess. On the world stage, unless you need to anticipate your opponents every single move. And this one frankly was obvious. Russia was the largest supplier of Nat gas to Germany, and therefore plays a huge role in energy prices globally. So logical person, any logical person, anyone that understands economics would get that, you know, hey, maybe it's not such a good idea to discourage U.S. energy drillers just ahead of Russia going up against Ukraine.

Modernity Can Be Alienating and Soul-Crushing
"There is one thing that Rousseau, I think he was so right on. And we're so influenced marks on this, and it was actually a really beautiful moment. At the turning point USA event where I had a point of agreement with this Marxist because if a Marxist truly understands the literature, they're wrong about so much, but there is something that the Marxist and the risings get right, which is this. Which is modernity and the fruits or the outcomes of the industrial revolution can be incredibly alienating and soul crushing to the human soul and spirit. That is completely true. And conservatives do not do a good enough job of talking about this. Instead, we seem to be just cheerleaders for market policies and corporate tax cuts. I am in support of those things. Obviously. But we must also be honest that girls staring at their smartphones for 12 hours a day is bad for their soul.

On the other hand, I also am really, really afraid, I think that we're going to enter a new era for criminalization, you know, if you look at people that access abortion the most, they're low income folks and together black and Latino people make up the biggest population of abortion patients. These are exactly the same communities that are already surveilled and over policed and criminalized and disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system and I'm especially thinking about undocumented folks who live in states where they are going to have to comment anti abortion and anti immigrant laws and they live at that kind of intersection.

"Caught up in three strikes. And when they get out and they can free bites so they can run to their future back to their past, go to the store and some spaces appreciate that more than other spaces we've been told to stop playing and stopping political and people have walked out of our shows. Making people uncomfortable is not the goal, making people reflect on why they're uncomfortable is what's valuable. Conflict is a natural thing. You know, how we deal with conflict becomes the unnatural thing. Growth is always going to be uncomfortable. And so what I'm hoping for with our music is not that we make people angry or that people walk out of our shows is that we're able to end the discomfort grow.

"That was making people take to the streets in these numbers in July? I think it was an accumulative thing right now we are under a huge sanitary crisis. With a lot of shortage of food and medicine all over the country, people is literally dying because they don't have access to basic medicine or food and no good answers have been given by the administration. All of the country, one after the other, all the measures have only worse and the situation for instance. In the middle of the crisis, the government decided to reshape the financial structure and the currency. And that created huge inflation. In July, everybody, of course, we're all Agos with la pandemia. With coronavirus. And you're basically saying that intersected with this general increasing crackdown from the government. And that that's what pushed people to the streets. But a lot of this is really fascinating because a lot of the protests are happening and are being propelled by artists and critics. And I'm wondering, you're a curator, you're with artists. And I'm wondering if you can explain to the people who are listening to this what that actually looks like when you have a protest movement that is led in many ways by artists. Well, the 11th of July was completely a spontaneous. It is true that from the last three years, are these have been 11 Salah and at the front of all the protests made to the government. It began with the decreed three 49, which limited freedom of expression, especially among the artists and from there, the science syndrome movement was created. And small protesters and people started to gather around to send letters to try to store a dialog to try to change things more openly and then we had a 27 of November for the first time more than 500 people gathered on a public space in front of the ministry of culture. The expression of the arts in Cuba have also been super political. Just from the very beginning. So I think that's going to help people to understand that when you have this crackdown on the freedom of expression by the government. So what people would understand here the First Amendment, basically, it's the artist who are saying, what you can not control us. We have to be free to do whatever we want because art in Cuba is, I mean, it's always been very experimental, very forward thinking very progressive always breaking new ground and the artists were saying we can't accept this. Does that kind of explain that why the artists were so essential in leading the movement? Yes, and I think as part of the history too of the nation. If you see the independence war, there were of 1895, that was organized and led by Jose marti, a poet. And even in the first war of 1868, cesspit is, was also a poet. It's part of our DNA. If you even think in the students produce in the 30s and you have figures like Ruben Martinez division Ernesto Diego, it's always been there. It's part of our identity. The relationship between art poetry and civil rights. Coming up on Latino USA, we talk about Carolinas upbringing in Cuba while her parents were in exile, and how after a decade abroad she decided to return to the island in the middle of a global pandemic.

Even if the actual border wall was a paper one built on seemingly impenetrable policies the asylum seekers met in mexico shared heroin stories of crime and abuse and vulnerability and desperation both at the hands of criminals and the police and authorities while waiting in border towns and all of this coupled with the fear of being deported by the country that was supposed to be offering them protection after mexico boasted about its highest number ever of deportations in two thousand nineteen a group of mexican researchers and migrant advocates set out to document just how extensive involvement has been between the united states and mexico and how this collaborative effort allows policies like the remain in mexico program to flourish.
