Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The Pope has come out and this is many other
- 0:03Speaker 1: you know, other face have have have pandered and moved
- 0:07Speaker 1: this way, and the Pope has said that priests can
- 0:10Speaker 1: now bless same sex unions. He says, quote requests should
- 0:16Speaker 1: not keywords, should not be subject to moral analysis.
- 0:21Speaker 2: All right, let's break that down, and this is coming.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I'm going to read this to you from the Associated
- 0:26Speaker 1: Press because I think it's important that you understand just
- 0:29Speaker 1: how crazy this world has gone. And I'm talking about
- 0:31Speaker 1: those are supposed to be speaking truth in the world
- 0:34Speaker 1: and not cow telling. To the pressure of the radical,
- 0:37Speaker 1: extreme left, the Pope is now approved blessings for same
- 0:41Speaker 1: sex couples that must not resemble marriage. Must not resemble marriage.
- 0:45Speaker 1: If you're blessing it, it's going to be the same thing.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Pope Francis formally a peruve letting Catholic priests bless same
- 0:53Speaker 1: sex couples. The Vatican announce them Monday, a radical shift
- 0:55Speaker 1: and policy that's aimed at making the church quote more
- 0:59Speaker 1: inclusive while mainting it strict ban on gay marriage.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Well, if you're going to have a strict ban.
- 1:04Speaker 1: On gay marriage, then doing this is not maintaining a
- 1:08Speaker 1: strict ban on gay marriage.
- 1:09Speaker 2: What you're saying is we're softening now.
- 1:13Speaker 1: The problem that I have here, and the part that
- 1:15Speaker 1: makes me so frustrated, is the fact that we and
- 1:20Speaker 1: this has been happening in churches, whether you're Evangelical, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian,
- 1:26Speaker 1: people have been trying to grab attendance. As attendance numbers
- 1:31Speaker 1: in church have gone down. You can argue over what
- 1:35Speaker 1: is made faith start to die out in this country
- 1:39Speaker 1: and also around the world. I would argue that faith
- 1:43Speaker 1: is actually dying out for the complete opposite reason of
- 1:46Speaker 1: what they think it is in the church. They think
- 1:49Speaker 1: it's because we become too right and wrong and too legalistic.
- 1:54Speaker 1: They think many in the church have argued that, well,
- 1:57Speaker 1: we're just we're not inclusive, and we're not happy enough,
- 2:00Speaker 1: and we're not kind enough, and we're not supportive enough
- 2:04Speaker 1: of other people's ideals and lifestyles. And as culture changes,
- 2:09Speaker 1: so therefore we need to become more inclusive more. We
- 2:13Speaker 1: need to be kinder to people that are living in sin. Now,
- 2:16Speaker 1: everyone's sins, right, I've sin of all sins are equal, right,
- 2:21Speaker 1: so bad or not bad, it doesn't people to how
- 2:23Speaker 1: we grade it on earth. Sins are sin. I've made
- 2:26Speaker 1: massive mistakes in my life. And if we're all being
- 2:30Speaker 1: intellectually honest, everyone that's listening right now, I think you
- 2:32Speaker 1: would agree the same way that we've made mistakes. But
- 2:36Speaker 1: what's happened in whether it's the Catholic Church, whether it
- 2:39Speaker 1: is in the Evangelical Church, Baptist Church, Methodists, a lot
- 2:43Speaker 1: of them, right, I'm not picking on one religion. I
- 2:45Speaker 1: want to make that clear, is that we've changed what
- 2:48Speaker 1: faith is now.
- 2:50Speaker 2: We've changed what church is now. It's now become a
- 2:52Speaker 2: numbers game.
- 2:54Speaker 1: The biggest pastors who are growing the fastest in this
- 2:56Speaker 1: country among all congregations, doesn't really matter which one it is.
- 3:00Speaker 2: They have one thing in common.
- 3:01Speaker 1: They're all about being funny and entertaining and preaching entertainment,
- 3:06Speaker 1: not offending people. Who knows they use the word offending right,
- 3:09Speaker 1: Not offending people. That's their main core thing. Let's don't
- 3:13Speaker 1: offend anybody. With actual gospel, we're going to be kum
- 3:16Speaker 1: ba ya because if we're kum bay ya, then there
- 3:19Speaker 1: is a genuine, authentic belief that if we are kum.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Bay yah, more people will show up next week.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Look what's happened since that that doctrine has been accepted
- 3:29Speaker 1: across multiple face. Look at all the churches that have
- 3:33Speaker 1: decided to go that route and and to and to
- 3:37Speaker 1: whether it's blessed same sex couples or performed same sex
- 3:40Speaker 1: marriages or whatever it may be, that they're standing and
- 3:44Speaker 1: changing because they're wanting to be quote more inclusive and
- 3:47Speaker 1: and and and and.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Kum bay yah. What's happened.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Religion has actually died off even more because what you're
- 3:54Speaker 1: doing is you're alienating your core base that actually wants
- 3:57Speaker 1: to be to go to a church that is actually
- 4:01Speaker 1: or to be under a priest or someone who is
- 4:04Speaker 1: actually saying, yes, there is right and wrong. We have
- 4:08Speaker 1: this in the world. Too much of it right now.
- 4:11Speaker 1: We have way too much of this right now. And
- 4:14Speaker 1: people want to go to a place where they're where
- 4:16Speaker 1: you can speak the truth. People want to go to
- 4:19Speaker 1: a place where you can be honest. People want to
- 4:21Speaker 1: go and sit with people that are going to tell
- 4:24Speaker 1: you the truth. And they want that. Okay, that's what
- 4:28Speaker 1: they want, folks. And this when you see the pope.
- 4:31Speaker 1: I want to be clear about this. I think there
- 4:34Speaker 1: are two catastrophic things that have happened with the Catholic church.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Number one, the fact that they still have not done
- 4:41Speaker 1: the right thing with the priests that have abused children.
- 4:45Speaker 1: They have still have priests that have abused children that
- 4:48Speaker 1: they have still protecting at this moment around the world.
- 4:51Speaker 1: They have moved around predators that they know are predators,
- 4:56Speaker 1: and they have done this because and they've not taken
- 4:59Speaker 1: care of the victims the way that they should have.
- 5:01Speaker 1: That's number one, and I think that's going to be
- 5:03Speaker 1: one of the biggest downfalls of Catholicism. But the second
- 5:07Speaker 1: one is is you have now a pope that is
- 5:09Speaker 1: no longer not a pope. He's a panderer. Pope Francis
- 5:12Speaker 1: is not a pope in the traditional sense. He's a panderer.
- 5:14Speaker 1: He's the pandering pope. When you formally approve what in
- 5:18Speaker 1: Catholic priest bless same sex couples, you're.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Not a pope.
- 5:20Speaker 1: You're you're you're you're you're you're a pandering pope. You're
- 5:24Speaker 1: not a real leader, You're a follower. Now, the Vatican
- 5:30Speaker 1: statement had a lot of people that were excited about
- 5:33Speaker 1: this right, and then there were some that were even
- 5:35Speaker 1: mad about it. Some lgbt Q plus advocates warned it
- 5:39Speaker 1: quote underscores the church's ideas that gay couples remain inferior
- 5:42Speaker 1: to heterosexual partnerships. Right, So, even in the pandering from
- 5:47Speaker 1: Pope Francis, he still didn't win.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Everybody over. The left is still mad at him.
- 5:52Speaker 1: The lgbt q I A plus plus plus group, right
- 5:55Speaker 1: is is furious saying, oh, so you guys in the
- 5:59Speaker 1: Catholic Church think that gays remain inferior to heterosexuals, Right,
- 6:04Speaker 1: So they're not happy.
- 6:05Speaker 2: So did the pandering work? There? Is it going to
- 6:07Speaker 2: bring in a bunch more LGBTQIA people.
- 6:10Speaker 1: I don't think so. I may be wrong, but I'm
- 6:13Speaker 1: pretty sure I'm right on this one.
- 6:14Speaker 2: And then what you.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Did is you actually alienated I think the core of
- 6:17Speaker 1: your base in the Catholic Church. These documents from the
- 6:21Speaker 1: Vatican's Doctrine Office elaborated on a letter that Francis sent
- 6:25Speaker 1: to two conservative cardinals that was published in October. In
- 6:29Speaker 1: the preliminary response, Francis suggested such blessings could be offered
- 6:33Speaker 1: under some circumstances if the blessings weren't confused with the
- 6:36Speaker 1: quote ritual of marriage. Well, what do you think the
- 6:39Speaker 1: blessing actually is. The new document repeats that, conditions that
- 6:44Speaker 1: condition and elaborates on it, reaffirming that marriage is a
- 6:47Speaker 1: lifelong union between a man and a woman. So you're
- 6:50Speaker 1: going to bless something that is not a union between
- 6:52Speaker 1: a man and a woman. That's pandering while saying that
- 6:54Speaker 1: that's separate from what you're now blessing, which is something
- 6:57Speaker 1: that is clearly not in the teaching of the Catholic faith.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Now, I want to be clear, I'm not Catholic.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not, but I am using this moment as
- 7:05Speaker 1: a warning, and I want to be clear, especially as
- 7:08Speaker 1: we're going into of all seasons, the Christmas holidays. We
- 7:11Speaker 1: have got to stop worrying and churches and pastors have
- 7:14Speaker 1: to stop worrying about offending people that are sitting there
- 7:18Speaker 1: in the audience. And you need to be bold about
- 7:21Speaker 1: what the teachings are. You don't have to be mean.
- 7:24Speaker 1: You can be compassionate, you can be loving, you can
- 7:26Speaker 1: be kind, but it doesn't mean that you have to pander.
- 7:30Speaker 2: I mean, the.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Catholic Church is, in essence now a massive ship. The
- 7:34Speaker 1: Vatican is a massive ship that has purposely unscrewed their
- 7:39Speaker 1: rudder and is out to see and believes are still
- 7:42Speaker 1: going to be able to go on a straight line.
- 7:44Speaker 1: It's not going to work. The Catholic Church is the
- 7:47Speaker 1: biggest boat in the sea right now that has no
- 7:50Speaker 1: rudder and is going anywhere, just in circles and round
- 7:53Speaker 1: and round and round, and they think that they're actually
- 7:55Speaker 1: still on a straight line. This is insanity. This doesn't
- 7:58Speaker 1: make any sense life. Yet here we are having this
- 8:02Speaker 1: conversation where the Pope Francis comes down and says, yes,
- 8:06Speaker 1: yet again, we are going to do more harm. I
- 8:08Speaker 1: believe the Catholicism that and do it in a way
- 8:11Speaker 1: that says.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Oh no, no, marriage is still between one man and woman.
- 8:14Speaker 1: But we we want to We need people coming so
- 8:17Speaker 1: badly and financially supporting the Catholic Church that what we're
- 8:20Speaker 1: going to do is say, will bless you, know, will
- 8:24Speaker 1: bless you if you are same sex, but just as
- 8:26Speaker 1: long as it's not called a marriage. Right, here's our caveat.
- 8:30Speaker 1: If you were in the Catholic Church, I would be
- 8:33Speaker 1: upset about this. If you're in the Catholic Church, I'd
- 8:35Speaker 1: be very very I would actually say I would be
- 8:38Speaker 1: angry about this. I would be asking more than I mean,
- 8:41Speaker 1: how many times. If you're in the Catholic Church, are
- 8:43Speaker 1: you going to look the other way before you demand
- 8:46Speaker 1: that there be a change? That's that's That's another question
- 8:49Speaker 1: that I that I do want to ask of people
- 8:51Speaker 1: that are listening, especially if you were Catholic, how long
- 8:54Speaker 1: are you going to sit there before you say enough,
- 8:58Speaker 1: stop destroying what brought me here in the first place,
- 9:03Speaker 1: because you're never going to be able to replace all
- 9:06Speaker 1: of the people that show up on Sunday mornings with
- 9:09Speaker 1: other people by pandering. Look at other face that have
- 9:13Speaker 1: tried to pander. It didn't work out well for them.
- 9:16Speaker 1: It never works out for them well for them, and
- 9:18Speaker 1: you want to know why because it's pandering and people
- 9:21Speaker 1: see through it. So then you get luke warm people
- 9:25Speaker 1: on both sides. And lukewarm people are not the people
- 9:28Speaker 1: that show up on a regular basis. Lukewarm people aren't
- 9:32Speaker 1: the people that get involved in Catholic missions and Catholic charities,
- 9:36Speaker 1: right Those are not the people that are going to
- 9:39Speaker 1: be your next leaders. So then you're just going to
- 9:43Speaker 1: wither away as a very important group of people. But
- 9:48Speaker 1: if you are Catholic tonight, I would hope that you're
- 9:51Speaker 1: upset over this because this is absolutely advocating and wanting
- 9:56Speaker 1: to have it both ways. One other point I'll make
- 10:00Speaker 1: real quick, but one other thing I will say is,
- 10:02Speaker 1: if you want to know what's happening in the world,
- 10:04Speaker 1: in the demise of the world, this is just another
- 10:07Speaker 1: significant example of it. If you want to know how
- 10:10Speaker 1: we got to a part where we have people in
- 10:12Speaker 1: Congress that defend the terrorists that behead babies, and you
- 10:15Speaker 1: want to know what got us to us, it's the
- 10:17Speaker 1: fact that we've lost faith in religion in this country.
- 10:21Speaker 1: We used to have a moral compass, folks. We don't anymore.
- 10:24Speaker 1: When we don't, what happens is the aocs of the
- 10:27Speaker 1: world show up and they gain power and they have
- 10:31Speaker 1: an audience because at the end of the day, people
- 10:33Speaker 1: are looking for something bigger than themselves. Usually at some
- 10:37Speaker 1: point in their life, they're looking for something bigger than themselves.
- 10:42Speaker 1: They're looking for answers to tough questions. They'll find it somewhere,
- 10:47Speaker 1: and when you water down your faith, they're going to
- 10:51Speaker 1: go somewhere else. And that's why we're in the scenario
- 10:54Speaker 1: and the situation that we're in right now. We've had
- 10:57Speaker 1: some moments this past year that have been encouraging. I
- 11:00Speaker 1: go back to bud Light. You look at what happened
- 11:02Speaker 1: to bud Light, and bud Light sales will never be
- 11:05Speaker 1: what they were before. I truly believe that, because there
- 11:07Speaker 1: was a line there that was crossed that was just
- 11:10Speaker 1: too far for many people to reach. It was just
- 11:13Speaker 1: too much. It was like, I can't do that. I'm sorry,
- 11:16Speaker 1: I just can't. I can't go there. I'll never drink
- 11:19Speaker 1: a bud Light again unless I'm literally about to die
- 11:22Speaker 1: and that's the only liquid there is. And even then
- 11:25Speaker 1: I'd wait a little bit longer and get closer to
- 11:27Speaker 1: death before I drink it. And then eventually I would
- 11:29Speaker 1: say screw it, I'm going to but I would never
- 11:32Speaker 1: purposely buy it or drink it ever again. It was
- 11:35Speaker 1: a game the other night with one of my dear
- 11:37Speaker 1: friends and he was like, hey, you want to be
- 11:39Speaker 1: I was like, sure, just as long as it's not
- 11:40Speaker 1: a bud Light. I'd rather have water and I'm in
- 11:42Speaker 1: it when I said it, and he laughed because he
- 11:44Speaker 1: knew I wasn't joking.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Don't bring me that.
- 11:46Speaker 1: There are encouraging moments and things that have happened this
- 11:49Speaker 1: past year that gives me excitement that maybe we're turning
- 11:53Speaker 1: the corner and people are willing to fight back. And
- 11:55Speaker 1: as soon as I get excited than the pope I
- 11:57Speaker 1: mean in this way approving the blacking for same sex couples,
- 12:02Speaker 1: that then they do something like this. The Catholic Church,
- 12:07Speaker 1: by the way, and this is something I keep trying
- 12:10Speaker 1: to explain to people, doesn't exist without the people.
- 12:14Speaker 2: All you have to do if you're a member of
- 12:16Speaker 2: the Catholic.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Faith is say we refuse to comply with this, and
- 12:20Speaker 1: we refuse to agree with it. As a group, you're
- 12:24Speaker 1: in charge. The pope is not. He's supposed to serve you.
- 12:28Speaker 1: It's the problem that we have the same problem we
- 12:30Speaker 1: have in politics today.
- 12:32Speaker 2: We think these people.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Get into power, then they forget that we are the
- 12:36Speaker 1: ones that can decide to change. We're the ones that
- 12:38Speaker 1: can say no to these people. That we don't have
- 12:40Speaker 1: dictators and tyrants. We're not supposed to. But when we
- 12:43Speaker 1: keep bowing down to them and not standing up to them,
- 12:46Speaker 1: the pendulum keeps going more and more.
- 12:48Speaker 2: To the extreme.
- 12:50Speaker 1: There's two things that catastrophically have happened to faith. One,
- 12:54Speaker 1: many churches are less than half of the attendance. They
- 12:56Speaker 1: were pre COVID because people didn't go to church for
- 13:00Speaker 1: well over a year, and it absolutely decimated faith, not
- 13:05Speaker 1: being able to go and worship. That's number one. And
- 13:08Speaker 1: number two is the pandering these pastors. Now they're obsessed
- 13:12Speaker 1: with social media and obsessed with being famous on social
- 13:14Speaker 1: media and are obsessed with you know, people loving them
- 13:17Speaker 1: and not offending people.
- 13:19Speaker 2: That's also a massive problem.
- 13:21Speaker 1: It's a massive, massive, massive issue, and now we're witnessing
- 13:25Speaker 1: it with the Pope himself, which is insane. For ten years,
- 13:31Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
- 13:35Speaker 1: And when I say the only one, I mean it.
- 13:37Speaker 1: They're the only one. They make a huge difference every
- 13:40Speaker 1: time that you pay your bill because they actually get
- 13:43Speaker 1: back to conservative causes and organizations to help you stand
- 13:48Speaker 1: up for what you believe in while you're paying a
- 13:50Speaker 1: bill you're going to have anyways. This is the part
- 13:53Speaker 1: that I love about Patriot Mobile. They're making a difference
- 13:57Speaker 1: every time you pay your bill, every time you make
- 13:59Speaker 1: a foot phone call, every time that you send a
- 14:03Speaker 1: text message. Patriot Mobile actually gives money back to protect
- 14:07Speaker 1: First and Second Amendment rights, to protect the lives of
- 14:11Speaker 1: unborn children. And that's what they're doing right now, is
- 14:14Speaker 1: they celebrate their tenth anniversary. If you switch right now
- 14:18Speaker 1: to Patriot Mobile, they are going to give a donation
- 14:21Speaker 1: to help protect life and to help mothers choose life
- 14:25Speaker 1: to an organization that does everything they can to protect
- 14:29Speaker 1: the lives of unborn children. Then every month when you
- 14:32Speaker 1: pay your bill, they're going to continue to support the
- 14:35Speaker 1: causes that I just mentioned. And this is exactly why
- 14:39Speaker 1: you need to make the switch. If you're tired of
- 14:42Speaker 1: woke companies, switch your cell phone to Patriot Mobile. Whether
- 14:47Speaker 1: you are a business, a small business, or just a family,
- 14:50Speaker 1: you can switch and they make switching easy. They have
- 14:53Speaker 1: a one hundred percent US based call center making switching
- 14:57Speaker 1: extremely easy.
- 14:58Speaker 2: You're going to get.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Nationwide coverage, unlimited talking text, and usually save real money
- 15:03Speaker 1: on your bill. Nine seven to two Patriot. It's nine
- 15:06Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot nine seven to two Patriot. Or
- 15:10Speaker 1: go online to Patriot Mobile dot com slash ben that's
- 15:14Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash ben or nine seven to
- 15:17Speaker 1: two Patriot. I do think we need to have a
- 15:20Speaker 1: bigger conversation about morals and Pope France is formally approving
- 15:24Speaker 1: letting Catholic priests blessed same sex couples, that that announce
- 15:28Speaker 1: is a radical agenda item, and I want.
- 15:31Speaker 2: To make it clear I think it's wrong.
- 15:34Speaker 1: And I think there's a problem right now with all face,
- 15:38Speaker 1: and that is that there's way too much pandering going on.
- 15:42Speaker 1: There's entirely too much pandering. And everybody right now just
- 15:47Speaker 1: wants to make sure that they, you know, don't offend people.
- 15:51Speaker 1: And how many people are sitting in the pews, and
- 15:54Speaker 1: how do we get more people in the idea that
- 15:56Speaker 1: you get more by by offending no one, then more
- 16:00Speaker 1: people are going to show up is a recipe for
- 16:02Speaker 1: disaster of any faith. It's the pandering that I have
- 16:06Speaker 1: a part with a problem with it is this.
- 16:09Speaker 2: I mean the Catholic Church.
- 16:11Speaker 1: We're now at the point where the Catholic Church is
- 16:13Speaker 1: out there saying you can formally let Catholic priests bless
- 16:18Speaker 1: same sex marriage. Like if you want to know it,
- 16:20Speaker 1: when the Catholic Church started to die publicly, this is
- 16:25Speaker 1: when it started to die publicly. Now, I would argue
- 16:27Speaker 1: it's already started to die internally when they refuse to
- 16:34Speaker 1: do the right thing, when they had their priests abusing children.
- 16:38Speaker 2: But publicly this is.
- 16:40Speaker 1: When I do think it happened, where it's like they're
- 16:42Speaker 1: now just openly saying like, hey, whatever we think might
- 16:45Speaker 1: get more people to attend than so be it. And
- 16:49Speaker 1: that is the death of any faith when the church
- 16:53Speaker 1: is officially blessing something. And this is where I would
- 16:57Speaker 1: give you massive pushback. Okay, there's a difference between loving
- 17:01Speaker 1: people and then blessing people.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Right, Blessing means that you are advocating, supporting.
- 17:11Speaker 1: I'm going to the definition here, right of blessing someone
- 17:15Speaker 1: God's favor and protection, favor. So what does the word
- 17:19Speaker 1: favor mean? Favor means support in religion. Literally, a blessing
- 17:24Speaker 1: is the is is blessing something with grace, holiness, spiritual redemption,
- 17:31Speaker 1: or divine will grace said before after mill is another
- 17:35Speaker 1: example right of an example a prayer asking for God's
- 17:39Speaker 1: favor and protection. A priest gave a blessing as a
- 17:43Speaker 1: ship was launched, Like, blessing means advocacy for support for
- 17:48Speaker 1: under you know, fond thoughts of I'm blessing this marriage. Right,
- 17:53Speaker 1: I'm asking for your your your daughter's hand, and I'm
- 17:56Speaker 1: asking for your blessing in that the fact that the
- 18:01Speaker 1: pope is saying and this is where I'm going to
- 18:03Speaker 1: get angry or animated, is maybe a better way.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Of saying it.
- 18:06Speaker 1: You cannot tell me that in the same sentence, right,
- 18:10Speaker 1: this is pandering.
- 18:12Speaker 2: He's not a pope, he's a panderer.
- 18:13Speaker 1: When you approve blessings for same sex couples in the
- 18:16Speaker 1: words that I just used, I.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Didn't come up with them.
- 18:18Speaker 1: I didn't come up with a definition of blessing, the
- 18:21Speaker 1: meaning of blessing, and then say as long as it
- 18:23Speaker 1: doesn't resemble same sex marriage, it is absolutely that you're
- 18:29Speaker 1: blessing the same sex couple for being a same sex couple.
- 18:34Speaker 1: You're going as a same sex couple and saying please
- 18:38Speaker 1: bless this, and they're saying okay to it.
- 18:41Speaker 2: The Pope is now approved that.
- 18:43Speaker 1: So you can't have it both ways and say, well,
- 18:46Speaker 1: he's just I'm fine with blessing a person individually, but
- 18:49Speaker 1: when you start asking me to bless the sin, that's
- 18:52Speaker 1: the point where you say no. Like if you come
- 18:55Speaker 1: to me as an individual and you you were sinning right,
- 18:59Speaker 1: and you say I want you to pray for me,
- 19:01Speaker 1: and I want you to to to bless me. But
- 19:04Speaker 1: if I walk in I'm like, hey, man, I'm I'm
- 19:06Speaker 1: operating a sex trafficking ring and I want you to
- 19:08Speaker 1: bless it, I.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Would hope the Pope would say no.
- 19:11Speaker 1: If I walked in said I I'm operating a drug cartel,
- 19:15Speaker 1: I would hope that the Pope would say no to
- 19:18Speaker 1: blessing my drug cartel.
- 19:21Speaker 2: If I came in and said.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Hey, I'm the founder and creator of one of the
- 19:25Speaker 1: biggest porn sites in the world, and I want you
- 19:29Speaker 1: to bless my business, which is the pornography business, I
- 19:33Speaker 1: would hope that the Pope would say no. Like like,
- 19:36Speaker 1: the idea that it should be blessed is is total
- 19:41Speaker 1: lunacy on a level that that I've never seen.
- 19:45Speaker 2: Well, I take that back.
- 19:46Speaker 1: The leadership of the Catholic Church has still has men
- 19:51Speaker 1: that have that they have moved around, that they have
- 19:53Speaker 1: not fired, who have been accused of abusing sexually children
- 19:59Speaker 1: in the church. Let's not forget that, I said the leadership.
- 20:04Speaker 1: But when your leaders are now saying we're going to
- 20:06Speaker 1: approve blessings for same sex couples and then immediately say
- 20:11Speaker 1: but they must not resemble marriage, what else does it resemble?
- 20:16Speaker 1: This is an actual headline from CNN, and and this
- 20:19Speaker 1: is the reason why the mainstream media is is nothing
- 20:23Speaker 1: but scumbags. They are communists, they are Marxists, they are socialists.
- 20:28Speaker 1: They are working for the United States government in every
- 20:32Speaker 1: capacity with it. And the Democratic Party, which I will
- 20:35Speaker 1: say for again on this show, the Democratic Party is dead.
- 20:40Speaker 1: They are masquerading as Democrats and they are really socialists, communists,
- 20:44Speaker 1: and Marxists and and I say all three because some
- 20:46Speaker 1: of them affiliate within the Democratic Party in different ways,
- 20:50Speaker 1: right Like they're they're they're this big cess pool of
- 20:53Speaker 1: disaster and and and and taking away your rights.
- 20:58Speaker 2: The Democratic Party is dead.
- 21:00Speaker 1: But what's worse than the Democratic Party is the media
- 21:02Speaker 1: that goes out there and puts out their propaganda.
- 21:06Speaker 2: No different than what you see in North Korea, no different.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Than what you read and places like Venezuela or Cuba
- 21:12Speaker 1: or Russia. This is a real headline from NBC News.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Somebody sent this to me and I actually didn't believe it.
- 21:18Speaker 1: I clicked on the link because I couldn't believe it.
- 21:20Speaker 1: If a buddy of mine sent to is like, can
- 21:22Speaker 1: you believe this blank? And I was like, I clicked
- 21:23Speaker 1: on it. It was like, no way. This is the
- 21:26Speaker 1: headline from NBC News. Senate staffer alleged by conservative outlets
- 21:32Speaker 1: to have had sex in a.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Hearing room is no longer employed. That is the NBC
- 21:37Speaker 2: News headline. Are you kidding me?
- 21:40Speaker 1: Let's just break down the headline here from these scumbags
- 21:44Speaker 1: at NBC News.
- 21:46Speaker 2: First of all, it's not alleged.
- 21:48Speaker 1: There's pictures in a video of the sex tape of
- 21:51Speaker 1: them having gay sex in the Senate room. That's number one,
- 21:54Speaker 1: So it's not alleged, okay, by conservative outlets. It's also
- 21:58Speaker 1: not alleged by conservative outlets. You guys are reporting on it,
- 22:02Speaker 1: and so is everybody else. Number two, the staffer's been fired,
- 22:06Speaker 1: so it's not alleged sex. It's like they've admitted it
- 22:09Speaker 1: was sex in this room, in this hearing room. And
- 22:13Speaker 1: the idea that he's no longer employed because conservative outlets
- 22:18Speaker 1: have alleged it is also a lie. Conservative news outlets
- 22:22Speaker 1: alleged at the ad to send her Ben cardon. A Democrat, Maryland,
- 22:26Speaker 1: appeared in a leaked video showing men having sex in
- 22:28Speaker 1: a Senate hearing room.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Again, this was not.
- 22:31Speaker 1: Some conservative conspiracy theory, Like we weren't filming gay sex
- 22:38Speaker 1: in a Senate hearing room. It was Democrats, funny enough,
- 22:43Speaker 1: on the Democratic side of the Senate hearing room who
- 22:46Speaker 1: were banging in the Senate hearing room. There's no conservative
- 22:51Speaker 1: that came up with this idea. I don't know who
- 22:54Speaker 1: Amanda Turkle is, but she sucks at her job. In
- 22:58Speaker 1: Frank thorpe V so at his job. These are the
- 23:02Speaker 1: NBC news reports. It took two of them to write
- 23:05Speaker 1: a story that's a lie about something that actually happened.
- 23:09Speaker 2: That is real.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Quote Center Ben Cardon's office has parted ways with a stafford.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Well he was fired. They didn't part ways, so call
- 23:18Speaker 1: a fire a fire. He was fired from what we've
- 23:20Speaker 1: been told, with a staffer who conservative news outlets. So
- 23:24Speaker 1: they're trying to act like this is some conspiracy theory.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Who conservative news outlets alleged was shown in a leaked
- 23:31Speaker 1: video having sex in a Senate hearing room. I'm pretty
- 23:34Speaker 1: sure that staffers already admitted on social media that it
- 23:37Speaker 1: was him, and and then said anybody that attacks him
- 23:41Speaker 1: is is like gay phobia or or or or gay
- 23:46Speaker 1: lesbian transitor at LGBTQ phobia. Like did he that these
- 23:50Speaker 1: that you're gay shaming him or something. Dude, you're the
- 23:53Speaker 1: one that put the like to let the tape get
- 23:54Speaker 1: out there. This dude, whatever the hell his name is,
- 23:58Speaker 1: is no longer employed by the US Senate. The Maryland
- 24:02Speaker 1: Democrats office send in a statement to NBC News on Saturday,
- 24:05Speaker 1: which was first obtained by Politico.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Let's stop there.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Politico is not hardcore conservative news. The idea that Politico
- 24:13Speaker 1: is hardcore conservative news is also a lie. So they're
- 24:16Speaker 1: lying to you from the for the first two and
- 24:18Speaker 1: a half paragraphs at NBC News quote, we will have
- 24:21Speaker 1: no further comment on this personnel matter. Okay, so they
- 24:25Speaker 1: fired a dude that had sex in a committee room.
- 24:31Speaker 1: On Friday, the Daily Caller conservative news outlet published what
- 24:34Speaker 1: is said to what it said was video showing a
- 24:37Speaker 1: congressional staffer having sex with an unknown man in the
- 24:40Speaker 1: Senate hearing room. It added that the video was shared
- 24:42Speaker 1: in a private group for gay men in politics. Conservative
- 24:46Speaker 1: outlets then alleged that the legislative aid to Cardon was
- 24:50Speaker 1: one of the men in the video. Well, if it
- 24:52Speaker 1: wasn't him, then I'm pretty sure the Democratic Center Ben
- 24:55Speaker 1: Cardon would would have not fired the person if it wasn't.
- 24:58Speaker 2: Actually that person in the.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Video that apparently you can clearly see in the video
- 25:02Speaker 1: is the guy that works for Center Ben Cardon.
- 25:04Speaker 2: But again, this is NBC News now, right, So.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Let's let's all let's all play this up to be
- 25:10Speaker 1: conservative conspiracy theory.
- 25:12Speaker 2: When when two dudes are banging.
- 25:14Speaker 1: In a Senate room on the Democratic side, working for
- 25:16Speaker 1: a Democratic senator, NBC News has not confirmed the authenticity.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Of the video or the identities of the participants.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Okay, so at least NBC News is willing to admit, hey,
- 25:28Speaker 1: we suck at our job. Like, that's maybe the most
- 25:30Speaker 1: truthful thing. Do not laugh at that, misproducer. You know,
- 25:33Speaker 1: that's an accurate statement. This is the one time that
- 25:36Speaker 1: NBC News didn't lie to you when they said NBC
- 25:39Speaker 1: News has not confirmed the authenticity of the video or
- 25:42Speaker 1: the of the participants. Good, you're admitting, hey, we suck
- 25:45Speaker 1: at our job. We don't investigate anything we don't like,
- 25:48Speaker 1: we didn't we're not trying to confirm that this actually happened,
- 25:51Speaker 1: and we're not.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Going to identify it. We're not going to confirm the
- 25:53Speaker 2: dentities of the participants.
- 25:54Speaker 1: So we're just going to tell you, this is somehow
- 25:56Speaker 1: the conservative's fault that two gay staffers were hanging in
- 26:00Speaker 1: a Senate room on the desk where the public usually goes,
- 26:05Speaker 1: and that somehow the conservative's fault that this happened on
- 26:09Speaker 1: Friday night. The man in question put up a post
- 26:12Speaker 1: on LinkedIn saying while he had shown quote poor judgment
- 26:16Speaker 1: in the past, he would never disrespect my workplace.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Well you did. You were been over a desk literally.
- 26:23Speaker 2: I don't know how that's.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Not disrespecting literally your workplace.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Quote.
- 26:31Speaker 1: This has been a difficult time for me, as I
- 26:33Speaker 1: have been attacked for who I love to pursue a
- 26:36Speaker 1: political agenda. Who you love like, I don't care who
- 26:38Speaker 1: you love. I'm not attacking you because who you love.
- 26:41Speaker 1: I'm attacking you because you you put out a video
- 26:44Speaker 1: of you having sex in a Senate chamber, in a
- 26:49Speaker 1: Senate hearing room. This has been a difficult time for me,
- 26:52Speaker 1: I would hope so. By the way, quote, while some
- 26:55Speaker 1: of my actions in the past have shown poor judgment,
- 26:57Speaker 1: I love my job, would never disrespect my workplace well,
- 27:00Speaker 1: and that's obviously your liar. Any attempts to characterize my
- 27:05Speaker 1: actions otherwise are fabricated and I will be exploring what
- 27:08Speaker 1: legal options are available to me in these matters. Okay, well,
- 27:11Speaker 1: if it's not you, then you should have said it's
- 27:13Speaker 1: not you, and your employers shouldn't have fired you if
- 27:15Speaker 1: it wasn't you. The dude did not return requests for
- 27:18Speaker 1: additional comments. Cardon's office initially put out a statement Friday
- 27:21Speaker 1: that said, we have seen media reports from right wing media.
- 27:26Speaker 1: As this is a personnel matter and under review, we
- 27:29Speaker 1: will not be commenting further at this time. Representative Max Miller, Republican,
- 27:33Speaker 1: Ohio also identified the man of conservative outlets of Saffer
- 27:38Speaker 1: who shouted Free Palestine at him in the halls of
- 27:42Speaker 1: Congress while he was speaking with an NBC News reporter.
- 27:45Speaker 1: This dude denied the accusations in his LinkedIn post on Friday.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Quote asked for the accusations regarding Congressman Max Miller, I
- 27:52Speaker 1: have never seen the congressman, had no opportunity or cause
- 27:55Speaker 1: to yell or confront HEMI wrote. NBC News was not
- 27:58Speaker 1: able to identify the staffer the interaction. So again, at
- 28:01Speaker 1: least NBC News told you the news the story at
- 28:04Speaker 1: least true Two things truthfully in this story. Amanda Turcle
- 28:08Speaker 1: is admitting in Frank Thorpe is admitting that they suck
- 28:12Speaker 1: at their job twice in this article.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Like, we don't actually do any reporting here.
- 28:16Speaker 1: We just write up like stories that somehow make people
- 28:20Speaker 1: think that, somehow this may not have happened, and this
- 28:23Speaker 1: is a Republican and or a conservative conspiracy. Now, let's
- 28:27Speaker 1: just if you google right now, sex and Senate hearing.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Let me tell you some of the other headlines. All right,
- 28:33Speaker 1: Politico playbook, Senate staff for out after sex tape scandal,
- 28:36Speaker 1: Senate a CNN out of job after purporting sex tape
- 28:40Speaker 1: apparently filmed, and Senate hearing Room The Guardian, Senate staff
- 28:43Speaker 1: for lo job after allegedly having sex and hearing room.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Then you get the NBC News.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Senate staff are alleged by conservative outlets who have had sex,
- 28:51Speaker 1: and hearing room is no longer employed. So somehow the
- 28:53Speaker 1: Republican's fault. The two guys that are liberal working for
- 28:56Speaker 1: a Democrat were banging.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Got it.
- 28:59Speaker 1: The Senate sex tape Everything we know Business Insider New
- 29:02Speaker 1: York Post Senate stafford allegedly filmed public sex and Congress
- 29:05Speaker 1: ousted from Ben Cardon's office.
- 29:08Speaker 2: It leads the New York Post. God bless them, they
- 29:10Speaker 2: get it right.
- 29:11Speaker 1: NBC four Washington d C Send Stafford, alleged by conservative
- 29:15Speaker 1: outlets who have had sex in the hearing room, is
- 29:17Speaker 1: no longer employed. So NBC, like across the board, local
- 29:20Speaker 1: and national, sticking with the same headline that somehow this
- 29:23Speaker 1: may not have happened and what we and may not
- 29:27Speaker 1: have even been a thing because it's Republicans that are
- 29:32Speaker 1: the ones that somehow are the bad guys here. Washington
- 29:35Speaker 1: Examiner leaked explicit video appears the show two.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Men having sex the Senate hearing room.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Like if you've seen the stills which I've seen of this,
- 29:41Speaker 1: like there's really no arguing over this, Like it's just
- 29:45Speaker 1: not right. It's like there's there's really no arguing over it.
- 29:49Speaker 1: And that's the reason why the dude was fired. Like
- 29:51Speaker 1: they're like, this is obviously you having sex in this
- 29:54Speaker 1: hearing room, and that's frowned upon. So we're we're probably
- 29:58Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna probably say no to that, right like,
- 30:01Speaker 1: and you're now fired. But what we will do is
- 30:04Speaker 1: we'll defend you and tell everybody that that's not really
- 30:06Speaker 1: your fault. You were having sex in the Senate hearing room. No,
- 30:09Speaker 1: it's what we'll do is we'll say it's the Republican's
- 30:12Speaker 1: fault because they're the ones that commented on it, and
- 30:15Speaker 1: somehow that means that they're evil. This is what we
- 30:18Speaker 1: are up against every single day. And I tell you
- 30:20Speaker 1: this is another perfect example of do not read every
- 30:24Speaker 1: do not believe everything that you read, because this and
- 30:27Speaker 1: again you now know the facts, and then then you
- 30:30Speaker 1: read the headline, and then you read the story and you.
- 30:32Speaker 2: Realize just how egregious it is.
- 30:35Speaker 1: We live in a world right now where we're up
- 30:39Speaker 1: is down and down is up, and left is right
- 30:42Speaker 1: and right is left. I'll give you another example of
- 30:44Speaker 1: the of the insane world that we live in. Boston
- 30:47Speaker 1: Mayor Michelle Wu celebrated breaking down barriers.
- 30:51Speaker 2: With a no white holiday party. This is not a joke.
- 30:56Speaker 1: The Boston Mayor, Michelle Wu, proudly posted a photo from
- 30:59Speaker 1: her no Whites allowed elected of elected of.
- 31:04Speaker 2: Color holiday party amid.
- 31:06Speaker 1: Backlash over the exclusionary event.
- 31:10Speaker 2: Which is clearly racist.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Woo, the city's first Asian American mayor, posted an image
- 31:14Speaker 1: to her Instagram account on Friday showing a group of
- 31:17Speaker 1: smiling colleagues at the dinner party where no white people
- 31:20Speaker 1: were allowed or invited. What's even funnier is if you
- 31:24Speaker 1: dig into this at all, you would find out that
- 31:26Speaker 1: Wu married a white dude. The white dude's not seeing
- 31:29Speaker 1: the picture now. I want to know if he got
- 31:30Speaker 1: out of the picture for the picture, and then the
- 31:32Speaker 1: white dude, because he was married to her, was able
- 31:34Speaker 1: to get in the in the at least get the
- 31:36Speaker 1: free dinner.
- 31:37Speaker 2: I don't know, but no whites were allowed.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Wu's husband was either hiding under the table or in
- 31:42Speaker 1: the closet, and we're not pictured in the no whites
- 31:45Speaker 1: allowed dinner.
- 31:47Speaker 2: That's not racist at all.
- 31:48Speaker 1: There's nothing that says inclusion like excluding people from a dinner, right,
- 31:52Speaker 1: Can I get an amen to that? That's who we're
- 31:55Speaker 1: electing in this country right now. I'm telling you, if
- 31:58Speaker 1: you want to know why Tonald Trump so popular, it
- 32:02Speaker 1: is because Donald Trump has had enough, just like I've
- 32:04Speaker 1: had enough.
- 32:05Speaker 2: I'm no longer afraid to offend people.
- 32:07Speaker 1: I don't care if speaking truth offends you, Okay, I
- 32:14Speaker 1: sincerely don't care.
- 32:17Speaker 2: And the fact that we're living in a world.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Now where we have mayors of major cities like Boston
- 32:24Speaker 1: saying I'm having a Christmas party and white people can't come.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Lord help us where we've got universities now where presidents
- 32:31Speaker 1: can't be fired because they're women in African American and protected,
- 32:34Speaker 1: and they can be anti Semites and and and defend
- 32:38Speaker 1: genocide of Jews at a at a Senate.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Hearing God like, we're going to Hell in a handbasket. Folks.
- 32:46Speaker 1: These are the people that you're teaching your kids, and
- 32:49Speaker 1: they're the ones that are and doctrinating these reporters to
- 32:52Speaker 1: write these absurd headlines that somehow Republicans are responsible for
- 32:56Speaker 1: two gay guys banging in a Senate chamber and somehow
- 33:00Speaker 1: it's the Republican's fault.
