The Bill Martinez Show 07 03 26

0:00 Are you ready? Yeah, Okay, let's do it. Bill Martinez Live a program about current events, our culture, our values, our politics, and our future. And now Bill Martinez. Six minutes after the top. They are right now, Bill Martinez here with the American Minute creator, that one and only Bill Fetter. Hey, mister Bill, how we doing? Great to be with you? Bill? Well, happy forth in July, my friend. Well, it is a monumental holiday where we celebrate our independence from Britain. One of the things I highlight is that Britain was the most powerful empire on the planet.

0:41 The King of England was a globalist. He was a one world government guy. The son never set in the British Empire. He had India, Australia and New Zealand, Hong Kong, Britiskey out of Canada. Our beatis perbuta at Jamaica in America, and America's founders decided they didn't like a globalist king telling us what to do, so they broke away and flipped it and made the people of the king. So our keys have kings and republics have citizens. The king has subjects who are subjected to his will. And the word citizen means co ruler co sovereign cocaing, so our founders, for all their faults, they gave us a present. And that present is you get to be in charge of your life. And all of us together are in charge of the country. And we have a voluntary opportunity of surrendering our lives to Jesus, the King of kings. But it's voluntary. They fled from Europe where it was mandatory, and they wanted freedom of conscience. God loves you, he wants you to love him back. But for love to be loved must be voluntary, exactly.

1:42 Yeah. Well, and it's interesting because here it's almost like we've gone full circle, Bill because two hundred and fifty years we're celebrating this holiday. We rejected a globalist movement. But the thing is about the globalist movement is that, like cockroaches, it just keeps reinventing itself and it just never ever just goes away, does it. Yeah, it's like weed junior yard. What do you have to do to get weeds? Nothing? You just do nothing and they automatically appear. And what takes effort to weed your yard. So the saying is eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. So every generation has to be eternally.

2:25 You have to get out there and weed the yard every single you know, day or a week. And so, you know, I like looking at history. Several years ago I decided I'd research every century of recorded human history. I know I've talked about this before, but the most common form of government is kings. And the first record of this in the Bible is Nimrod Tower, a babbel just down the mountain from air At when Norah's ark landed. Yes and josepha Is, the Jewish commentator, said, Nimrod wanted to build his tower so high that if God destroyed the world again with a flood, he could survive on top. And he made everybody in town bake bricks or he would kill them. He wanted people to fear him more than God. And since the population of the world was centered there, the Fertile Crescent, the Mesopotamian Valley, just down the mountain from Era, and he wanted to control it.

3:17 In a sense, he was the first globalist. Nimrod was the first one that wanted to control the human population. God comes down confuses the languages, and the people scattered into language groups that turn into nations. So in a sense, nations were God's invention to postpone one world government. But every generation has some king that wants to conquer other nations that have left unchecked. Well, he'd been happy to conquer them all, and you know, he got Caesar and Attila the Hunt and Genghis Khan. But at the time of America's founding, it was the King of England. And so America's founders broke away and gave us a republic where we get to be in charge of our lives, and all of us together are in charge of the country. Well, getting back to what you said earlier about you know, maintaining the garden and getting the wheat out of there.

4:00 I mean, little did we know. When Benjamin Franklin responded to that woman asking him after the Continental Convention, okay, so what kind of government did you guys come up with? He said, well, a republic if you can keep it. Maybe he needed to explain a little bit more what that meant. Right, Yeah, Well, John Adams wrote the constitution for Massachusetts in seventeen eighty, seven years before the US Constitution, so Massachusetts is considered the longest still in use constitution. In world history. But when John Adams wrote it, he realized that if we're not going to be a country ruled by a king who uses fear, we're going to be a republic where the citizens need to be moraled. And so John Adams put into the Massachusetts Constitution that the state shall lay attacks for the support and maintenance of public Protestant teachers of piety and religion. We've got to have a moral populace, and so it's to the state's interests that we teach Protestant Christianity, right, And so what does that teach. It teaches that God has a God of laws, and he's watching you and he wants you to be fair. And if there is no God, then it's whatever you can get away with exactly. Laws are just made up by some men, you know, It's like why follow them and it turns into lawlessness.

5:27 How did this not collide with the idea or this concept that has been popularized these days, you know, the idea of separation of church and state. Yeah, so every colony was started by a different Christian denomination. Virginia's Anglican, Massachusetts was Puritan, Rhode Island was Baptist, Maryland Catholic, a New York Dutch Reform Delaware, New Jersey, Swedish Lutheran, and Pennsylvania Quaker. And they did not get along. If you read the history. If any one of them thought they could have defeated the King on their own, they would have been tempted to set up their own denomination as the national one. But for God's purpose they needed each other. So at the Constitutional Convention excuse me, the First Continental Congress in September of seventeen seventy four, a motion was made open with prayer, and the delegate Rutledge from South Carolina and Jay from New York objected, and John Adams rights that we could not join together in the same act of religious worship because we were divided in our religious sentiments. And Sam Adams stands up he goes, I'm no bigot. I can hear a prayer of any man of piety who at the same time as a friend and a patriot of our nation. And so they prayed together, and God blessed us with independence. Now their fear was that the new federal government would pick one Christian denomination and make it the national one, which is what every country in Europe did. England was Anglican, Scotland

6:58 was Presbyterian into a Dutch Reform, Germany was Lutheran. Switzerland, you know, Italy Catholic in Greece was Greek Orthodox. It was one denomination per country, and so we're setting up a new country. Their only frame of reference is, Okay, we're going to pick one denomination, right, And they didn't always agree. So they decided that they would put handcuffs on the federal government called the First Ten Amendments. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Respecting means neither for nor against. It means concerning. And so when the subject of religion comes before the federal government, they're supposed to throw their hands up and say, we have no jurisdiction. Religion is left under the state constitutions.

7:42 And that's what Joseph's story said. The First Chief Justice, the whole power of the subject of religion is left exclusively to state constitutions. And so I read through every state constitution in seventeen seventy six 'in nine of the original state constitutions required office holders to be Protestant. I mean even South Carolina specifically said that Christian Protestant religion is hereby deemed the established religion of the state. It's like, okay, And then you had three states that were liberal, like Delawar's state constitutions seventeen seventy six said every officer holder had to believe in God, the Father, Jesus Christ, his only Son, the Holy Ghost, One God bless her ever more.

8:30 Anythink that's pretty narrow minded. No, that was generous because you could be Catholic or Protestant and say I believe in Father, Son, the Holy Ghost. Ben Franklin signed Pennsylvania's constitution that said every officeholder had to believe in God, Creator and Governor of the universe, and acknowledged the scriptures of the Older New Testament to be given by divine inspiration. In other words, you not only had to lay your hand on the scriptures, you had to swear you believed in them. And that was liberal because you could be a Catholic or a Protestant and I believe in the divine inspiration of the scriptures. Interestingly, one state head zero religious requirements. The most evangelical, Rhode Island, founded by Baptists. They said, if you required someone to be a Christian to get elected. They could say they were even if they weren't, just to get elected, and that would be hypocritical.

9:17 So just vote for the best Christian person you know, right exactly. This report is sponsored by IBM.

13:45 That's magavitamin dot com Nutrition four Patriots, we're talking with Bill Fetder. He is the American minute creator as we come together to celebrate our nation's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. What a grande for an exceptional country that's still, by all measure built. Fetter is the greatest country on God's green Earth. Right. Yeah, you know, if I were to sum up America in one word, it would be individual. That you have a worth because you individually are made in the image of the Creator, and he is not a respector a person.

14:25 So all of us individuals are equal. It's different all the rest of the world. Your worth is not because you're made in the image of the Creator, is what class you were born into. So if you're in a Muslim country and you're a Muslim male, you are worth bore than a Muslim female. Even Mohammed said that it takes two women to testify in court against one man because a woman's mind is deficient. If you're in a Hindu country. If you're a Brahmin in the highest cast, you're worth more than an untouchable Dalits in the lowest cast. You got to carry out dead bodies and clean this sewers. If you're in an atheistic country, your worth is dependent on your utility to the state. If you can contribute to the communist party, you're worth more. If you're not, they'll harvest your organs and tell you. But in America, you're were something, not because you're a Muslim male, not because you're useful to the state, not because you're a Brahmin, you're wor something, because you're made in the image of God, exactly.

15:23 And that's what John F. Kennedy said in his inaugural address. We believe that all men are created equal because we're created in the image of God. In Islam, Allah has no image. Right, This is a Bible idea and God is singular, so we're not talking Hinduism or Buddhism, right. And then Harrius Truman's an augur oll address, he said, we believe that wait Kennedy. Kennedy said, the rights of man come out from the generosity of the state, from the hand of God. So that's Kennedy and HARRIEUS. Truman nineteen forty nine said we believe all men are created equal because we're created in the image of God. So I got the Truman quote quote and Franklin at Kennedy quote.

16:05 But they're both from their inaugural addresses. They're Democrat presidents. They're acknowledging God, They're acknowledging the uniqueness of America compared to the other countries of the world. Well, you know, going back to there, lncount you mentioned John Adams. You know John Adams, you know, declared that our constitution was designed for a moral people. Well, what's your morality based on, Bill if it isn't scripture. Yeah, it's interesting. It's the God of the Bible. The Greeks had a democracy, but they had a bunch of fickle deities Zeus and Herain. I mean, Aphrodite. How can you be accountable to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, when her temple has temple prostitutes. I mean, there's no concept of adjust God. It's it's these fickle gods that you have to appease all the time. The God of the Bible is just and and he's watching you, and he wants you to be fair. And God knew they would sin, so once a year they had the Day of Atonement and they would sacrifice and sprinkle the blood of the lamb on the mercy seat, and everyone's sins were forgiven.

17:12 And that's foreshadowing Jesus. He's our atonement, not just for the last year, but for all of our lives and all eternity. But the Bible God is a just God, and that's key. And then one of the Bible principles in our constitution is we're sinners, and that's sort of overlooked. Oh the Constitution doesn't mention God. Well, I mean it does where it says done in the Year of Our Lord, but it's based on a principle that we humans are fallen creatures right original sin, and as such, we're selfish. And even if you have a good person and he's in office, he's going to be tempted to favor his family and friends over his political enemies, and it gets discretionary.

17:59 So the founders had the idea, let's take the power of ruling, break it into three branches executive, legislative, judicialness pit them against each other. In a three way tug of war. So the executive branch would always try to pull power away from the legislative and judicial, and the judicial branch would always try to pull power away from the executive and legislative, and vice versa. Is a three way tug of war. It's actually brilliant. It's like giving a Sunday school assignment where sinners keep other sinners from sinning. Right, design a system of government where sinners will keep other centers from sitting. That's what our constitution is. Because we don't have any angels on earth. The governess is what you do in Madison said, all we got is us fallen creatures, and so it's pitting the selfishness against each other.

18:42 And it worked. Then we separated power federal to state level. Our founders basically took the tower of Babbel and scattered it. They took the power of a concentrated rule, and they separated it intentionally. They actually designed a government to work inefficient on purpose, slow to making good decisions, but thank god, slow to making irreversible bad decisions. Right. I mean, they realized they could take a lifetime to build a mansion, and one irresponsible match to burn the thing down in a day exactly. Well, Bill, you know, you think about going back to what you were talking about, the individualism that was foreseen by our founders, that they got that and what that meant in terms of the power of the individual and when you you know, consider you know, here we're what three hundred and fifty population. The collaborative intelligence of three hundred and fifty million people as individuals. I mean, that is a lot of power. And that's what has thrust America to this greatness that it has become. If America was socialistic and siloed, everybody would have been dumbed down.

19:54 You know, we'd have been a nation of mediocrity, wouldn't we. Yeah, you know it's interesting. I wrote a book on socialism and we're a government from the consent of the government. But what if you could engineer consent of the government? Right? And so Edward Bernez, who was a marketing pioneer, wrote a book called The Engineering of Consent, and he talks. His uncle was Sigmund Freud, who studied group psychology and found out that we want to be accepted in a group, and we fear being rejected by a group, and so all marketing is based on that. I mean the whole fashion industry. We wear something because hey, we'll be accepted, and we don't want to look stupid and foolish, and we won't wear that. And so he would use advertisements that would just like keeping up with the Joneses. They would make it look like everybody's using a product or wearing a certain thing that's like, oh, I want to even though you don't do your own research. And even Joseph Gerbels studied Edward Burnees and said people will do what they see other people doing, so he's actually not Minister of propaganda for the Nazis. He would fill a stadium with one hundred thousand people and they would give the Hitler salute in the front, and it's work its way back, and one hundred thousand people like a wave of a football game and it's getting closer to you.

21:16 You'd feel pressured. To give it. Then people would say you give it. They'd feel pressure to give it, and everybody would leave the stadium saying, well, I guess everybody's in on this Nazi stuff because I saw them all. It was a manipulation of your perception of what everybody else believed and was, but even if they didn't. So now it's all done online. And that's why they want to censor views on the Internet and magnify other views because they want to make the impression that everybody's going along with this, and subconsciously you don't want to be left out and they're missing out, right, Yeah, And then with AI they can have a deception designed just for you. They can personalize it. So every interaction you do with the Internet, it is building a profile on you and learning your pleasures, your pains, your fears, and your desires, and then it congratulate. The University of Zurich did a study that AI bots are six times more effective at getting people to change their opinions than humans are. And so there government from the consent of the governed. But if somebody is controlling all that apparatus as psychological operation, they can help engineer the consent of the governed exactly.

22:33 And there's so many things coming at you that affect that aspect, that matrix right there, the consent of the government, whether it's ballot stuffing, AI and all this manipulation that's going on in the power of the information agent which we live in Bill. Yeah, they say that within a few years passwords will be useless, that the AI will be able to crack everything and know every all information about everybody. It's called AI artificial general intelligence. And Elon Musk says we have five years. In other words, the collective Internet will know all of human knowledge at once. Maybe we'll find out who really killed JFK. Yeah, maybe, Bill, Hey, Bill, we got to wrap things up. We know that today.

23:20 I mean, you know, the fourth of July, our founders, said John Adams envision fireworks and celebrations and everything, And here we are two hundred and fifty years and the celebrations, the fireworks, the picnics and everything are as Americana, as red, white and blue. Right. Yeah, well, you know George Washington, excuse me, King George was thirty eight years old when we fought the Revolutionary War. Most of the founders were young men. Thomas Jefferson was thirty three years old when he penned the Declaration of Independence. Out of the fifty six signers, eleven had their homes destroyed, five or one hundred down and captured, seventeen served in the military, nine died in the war. One of the youngest signers. George Walton was twenty seven years old when he signed the declaration, he was captured and wounded. Edward Grutledge was twenty seven, Thomas Hayward was thirty, and all these young guys. Thomas Nelson was thirty eight. But they were willing to sacrifice their prosperity for their posterity. And so many today are doing the opposite, sacrificing our posterity with prosperity, settling our kids with a forty trillion dollar debt.

24:42 But every generation it's the price of liberty's eternal vigilance. What are the stories we love best? It's when things look hopeless and God raises up little nobody's with faith and courage. And whether it's a Gideon, a David, or a George Washington, or a Patrick Henry or a Thomas Jefferson, it's just our turn. Yeah, exactly. Well, Bill Fetters always appreciate you. Remind everybody if they want to subscribe to the American Minute, how they can do that. Oh, thank you. My website's Americanminute dot com Americanminute dot com.

If have Bill Martinez here along with the Manhattan based Fox News contributor Jroy Murdoch. Hey, deray, how are we doing? Great Bill and happy USA two fifty to you and yours and all of our listeners. Well it is for those of us that appreciate and still love America. It is a great day and a great season and a great celebration. But before we go there, I thought, you know, this is how crazy the left has gotten. Can you believe the irony in Minnesota? You got Jason fry on one hand celebrating you know, Somali independence. Right, that's one side of the mouth, and then the other side we're celebrating Pride Month. Are those two non sequaturs?

30:13 Am I missing something? What happened here? Well, Pride Month was June July, so those are two different things. And I don't have a problem with I don't have a problem with the old Pride Month, which is just you know, gay people saying, hey, this is great. You know, we have equal rights of them. What I don't like is where it's turned into, you know, all these letters and the rainbow flag which now has this kind of a big triangle coming and killing the rainbow with multiple colors, including black and brown because because black and brown people weren't representing the original rainbow, and then there's big purple circle. I mean, it's just it's too much. And then you know the drag Queen Story Hour and hey, let's chase after your five and six year olds and talking about this. I mean, it's gone well beyond. It's the point where, you know a lot of game in in America are like, Okay, this, this is too much.

30:57 We don't wanny part of this. You know, please please get off the bandwagon and leave us line. Yeah exactly, Well, but this is you know, this is what happens when you disengage from the truth and common sense. You know, it's just if you're really close to it, you could be brain bruised. You know, Oh I think you can. Yeah, there's a lot, a lot of bruising going around. And you mentioned young Mayor Frive of Minneapolis. You mentioned the Somali thing, and I believe he was commenting maybe last night about the soccer tournament World Cup, et cetera. And I think he's Winter's store. And see bottom meta shirt with the Mexican flags. Are not ready to go and route from Mexico. I mean, I thought the Minnesota was part of the United States America.

31:40 Guess maybe part of Mexico now was to miss that memo. Yeah, well, they're not sure what they're part of. I mean that's the whole point of all this, whether it's June or July. You mean, they're so confused. Bless their hearts. But you know, the problem, unfortunately, is there becoming the pied piper of this insanity. And you know, I know people are particularly you know, you're there in New York and you got the Pita pear, you know, tax that is now starting to become reality. I don't know how long this can last, Deroy, I mean, you know before New York is just finally you know, they're just so bankrupt and they just don't have a way of producing money when they have kicked out all the billionaires.

32:23 Yeah. Well, in fact, I'm researching this going to be on Era in an hour and Fox News, and was looking up some figures and Mayor moum Donnie just I think yesterday or today came to an agreement on the budget for the next fiscal year. It's going to be one hundred twenty six billion dollars. Last year was one hundred and sixteen. So when he came in as mayor said, I have no choice but to raise taxes because it is what we need to take care of all the spending the envision. He could have done several things. He could have frozen spending. He could have said, all right, we're going to take spending, increase, increase it with the matched level of inflation roughly three percent. That would have brought it from one sixteen to about one to nineteen. Even that spending level of hund nineteen billion would just be last year's spending plus inflation would put New York City's budget two billion dollars higher than the budget for the entire state of Florida. It's incredible of this city which I live spends more money than the entire state where you live. With we've got eight billion people. I think you guys have got down there. What is it about twenty five, twenty eight something like this, I'm not mistaken.

33:21 And yet the entire state of Florida spends less money than does all of New York City, which is just breathtaking. And the only reason he was able to do this at all and be able to sign a budget was because Kathy Hockel Kathy to hack Hockle as I call her, was just terrified that he would back somebody to primary her and she'd be out of a job, just as we're the congressman who got to ousted a couple of tuesdays ago, and she's terrified of that, and so she says, Okay, zarn, what can I do to help? And she basically had him eight million dollars. So he's had this eight billion dollar magic fund to come in and pay for all of his goodies. And that's the only reason he was able to get this budget through it all. So you work for one year. I don't know where Kathy's going to come up with another eight billion next year, and when that happens, I'm not sure how m Dummy's going to be able to make all these summers matchup well.

34:08 And they're already, like you said, they're primary you know, incumbents, and you've got this movement that you know, is it looks like you know here it is. We saw what happened in Colorado in other parts West, and it's like, look at it. I think that the Republicans need to get in front of this and understand that it's just you just can't call it crazy and leave it there. You've got to really understand, you know, the perception that these young kids have, and you may not be able to talk to them, but you might be able to convince some a measure of some you know what the reality is here, because you know, the fact of the matter is is there's a problem here in River City.

34:51 But the people they're claiming to fix it are the people that really started the fire. As Billy Joel would say. Well that's that's right. And what strikes me most about the uh, these super far left democrats who are ousting existing sitting congressman like this Dyana the Jet in Colorado, as you mentioned my congressman here in New York City, Dan Goldman. The last week, Yeah, people said, well, you know, the far left there, they're mooting out all these moderates. These are not moderates. These are far left incumbents. I'm looking right now at the Seapack rating. These are put up by American Conservative Union, and the lifetime rating for Dana the Jet zero being most liberal, one of being most conservative. What would you guess, Diana the Jets rating was for lifetime rating from the Seapack Congressional scorecard.

35:39 I think somewhere around somewhere between ten and. Twenty try three point four, oh, okay. Four benefit of the doubt, three point you. Did you were very your generous three point four okay. So you vote conservatively three point four percent of the time. And for these people that's too much. It's like, oh, you're too far right wing. We got to get you out and put in this woman who just won last night, this man, Congressman sbat who's the head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and in fact, somebody who endorsed Mondamia's mayor is one of the first people endorsed Mondamia's mayor. And thanks he got for that is that he got primary by Mondammie, who put somebody in the run against or at least endorsed the person ran against him. His seatback score, I believe it was about two point five, and even that wasn't good enough, and so they sorry, knock him out.

36:23 Dan Goldman, my congressman, he came in too recently to have any seatback score, unfortunately, but he's super left wing. He was one of the impeachment managers against President Trump right back going when he was one of the two times he was impeached in the UH in the impeachment the House and tried the Senate. At that time, he was a staffer. I don't believe he was a congressman. He was one of the staff people, but he was sent in as one of the impeachment managers. That wasn't good enough. Sorry, you're your two right wing out you go and in went. I think this h I believe this woman Chevalier is running in his seat I from mistake. No, I'm sorry, she's in a different place. Somebody else against him knocked him out. Brad Lander is his name, and landers the city controller. Yeah, and he's not another lefty.

37:06 So basically we have the far left wing of the Democrat Party. Then we've got the Marxist wing of the Democrat Party, and then we have the Hamas wing of the Democrat Party, which hates Israel. They're anti Semitic and they think Hamas is pretty cool, and you know, they represent the vision for the future of the Middle East, which is basically Islamic Islama, fascist terrorism. And we're seeing people who are getting Domini's house like that exactly, and that's what they believe. So this is not your grandpa and Grandma's Democrat Party. There's not your mom and Dad's Democrat Party. This is not Bill Clinton's party. This is not hardly even Obama's Democrat Party. These people are far far left, falling over, cascading over the Niagara falls down below left and this is not good, not pretty, And you're right, the Republican Party's got to get very focused, pressed down hard on these people, educate people and how awful they are. And with any luck these people, we'll be able to go back to the faculty lounges in the back to the barricades after November and not get the sworn in in front of the House floor come January.

38:09 Yeah, so basically what you're saying, all this other stuff is really fluff. You know when they talk about affordability, and you know, yes, you get some regular communists, socialistic, you know, policies that creep in. But really the bottom line is what it seems to be demonstrating. Although it's a bit of an irony watching what happened with your Congressman Goldman there against Brad Lander, because these are both Jews, but that seems to be the core of this hard left movement is you've got to hate Israel. That's true because I mean, look again, you could look at Dan Goldman's vote record and I can't think of anything other than Israel. We're in the far left to it object. I mean, this guy's a big spender, he's a big regulator, he hates Trump's guts. He comes out and says nasty about Trump, you know, five times a day. Again, was involved in trying to try him after his impeachment by the House when his first term. And again that's not good enough. You know, if you don't hate Israel, I want to see bb Net Neil. I want to arrest and support Hamas and then want to see cousins run that whole place that you say from over to the sea. Well that's not good enough, and you've got to be booted out by somebody who believes those things.

39:18 It really, really is amazing. So that's how far the Democrat Party is now, and they're still careening off to the left at very very high speed. Have you written a book? Where?

And you know, and I think this is an eye opener even for the constituents that seem to be mounting the socialist bandwagging here. You know, they just see that serfs up, but they're not seeing the danger that's in that wave that they're traveling on. Deroy, Yeah, well they're right, you're right. I mean, look, the best case scenario here is you're going to have the kind of policies that slow down the economy, increase increased fiscal irresponsibility, wasteful spending, incompetence, and fraud. Worst case scenario are going to see I think probably seditious efforts to be kind of almost like a fifth column being helpful to a lot of these terrorist type groups, these radical mosques, radical in moms, et cetera. And these people are just very comfortable, those kind of folks, and it's going to make it easier for people to come in and be subversives in this country. And God forbid, do you have in twenty twenty eight, if you have a president Democrat president come in. I have no doubt they're going to tear the Trump Wall down, throw the borders back open, and let more of these people run in.

44:35 And they'll say, well, everybody, you know, they just want better lives. Let them come here, and they're going to flood in. You're gonna have another ten or twelve million or fifteen million of these people rush in here and get settled in, start getting freebies and goodies from us, with the taxpayers paying them. And the idea, of course, and this is the entire thing fueling this whole effort is at some point they get amnesty, they get to citizenship, and they get their Democrat voting cards and start voting. Devere That's the only only only reason that the Democrats have got this erasure of the border policy is to get their future margin of victory into this country. There that evil. Yeah, twenty six years ago or so de Roy. It was Bill Clinton who said the era of big government was over, but he didn't realize that what he was going to usher in twenty six years later was an even bigger government.

45:25 Yeah, well that is ironic. And again you look at the kind of comments that were made back in the nineteen nineties, early zeros by people like Bill Clinton saying, you know, the era of big government is over. You can go back to videos of Obama, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, maybe even Nancy Pelosi saying, and using the term illegal aliens, we have too many quote illegal aliens unquote in this country, illegal immigrations problem. We have to defend our borders. These people shouldn't be coming in here. If you want to come to America, you've got to go to the embassy and fill out a vast application and wait your turn. You hear these statements. Now, if I wrote them down for you and it said, who do you think said this, he'd said, oh, Jim Jordan said that, or Jamie Vance said that, or Stephen Miller said this, And then you know heremor removed the little piece of tape. He said, Oh that was said by Obama in a State of Union address. Oh my god, that was said by Chuck Schumer's speech. I believe in Georgetown Law school. I believe Nancy Pelosi made a comment at one of these press conferences in Capitol Hill kind of along those lines. So it used to be not many fifteen twenty years ago, the Democrat Party on immigration was more or less worthy.

46:26 You know where the megamagination is. And twenty years later, no borders, come on in, get your free stuff, get your commercial truck driver's license and drive an eighteen wheeler even though you can't read the signs on the roads, and you plow into people and kill them. This is where the Democrat Party is now, and it's again it's unrecognizable from where it was even probably ten years ago. Well, deroy, if we're going to save this democratic Republic and look forward to another two hundred and fifty years of freedom, the silent majority and those that are concerned about a democratic republic have got to come out in record numbers, which is uncharacteristic of midterm elections as you know historically. But people need to understand what's on the line here, and especially after Scotus's decision that's going to allow for you know, ballot counting. You know, now it's to the state for you know, five days or a week afterwards. Well then yeah, you know that a week begins, you know, begets two weeks, it begets months, like in California, California still counting their ballots from the last primary. I mean, how absurd is that? Right?

47:31 No, it is insane. And I was really truly shocked and highly disappointed and deeply saddened by this decision by the Supreme Court on Monday in the case of Watching versus Republican National Committee, and the case was the decision was written by none other than Amy Cony Barrett, the supposedly conservative Trump appointee, and she basically said, Hey, you know, if the states want to count ballots after election day, that's cool. Election day, I guess doesn't mean anything. She said, there's no law that says they can't do it. Well, there is a law which is called it's its Federal Election Active, which says that the election federal election day is the first the Monday next after the first Monday in November. That's very clear. I don't know what part of that she is unable to understand, but she threw that out. You know, the states can continue to collect ballots as long as her postmarked honor before election day, and they can drift in, you know, for days and weeks.

48:22 I don't I don't think she put a limit on it, sending you know, they got to be in by November fifteenth, or they got even by Thanksgiving, or they got to be in by you know, Black Friday or Christmas Eve, or you know, the day before the House gets sworn in. I mean, I guess you could just you know, leave it open until the actual swearing in of the members of Congress, and you know, maybe if that's at noon that day, you can count ballots up until you know, eleven fifty nine in the morning, say oh look who just won. Okay, get down there, get sworn in. You know, this is just going to be a recipe for complete chaos. And the best case scenarios, as we've said talking about this topic before, is that you have the appearance of corruption. Everything's honest, everything's decent, nobody's acting up. But when you've got ballace drifting in for weeks and weeks, even if there's no malfeasance, even if everybody's totally honest, even if these are the most decent people in the world, the mere fact that it's election night, you don't know the winner is. Two days later, you don't know who the winner is. A week later, you don't know who the winner is. People instantly start thinking, Okay, they're in the back, they're cooking the books, they're shredding ballots, they're filling out fake ballots, And just the perception of corruption and the perception of vote fraud leads people think it's a rig system.

49:31 It's not a clean election, and so whoever wins has that taint on him, and you think, well, that's not my congressman, that's not my senator. That was a stolen that the governor stole that seat. And it makes it very hard for people to government any sense of credibility if people think that they got in through crooked means, even if the means are honest. Now, if the means are crooked, then it's even worse. Then you've got people getting in through actual fraud, and that obviously is an even worse situation. I want to point out to you. This is from the National Conference of State Legislatures. They have an excellent document that lays out the deadlines for ballots coming after election day, and some of the things in here just amazing. Illinois ballots can come in fourteen days after the election. In the state of mass Socia, state of Washington, state ballots can come in up to twenty one days after the election. And let's see in this one in New Jersey, mail delivered ballots without postmarks that arrive within forty hours of the closing polls will be considered valid. So you don't even have a postmark as long as it shows up within two days after the polls close. And here's my favorite Nevada. This says the following ballots with unclear postmarks received by the third day following election, which would be once it would be Friday on the Thursday. Friday is Friday after the election received by the third day following the election are deemed deemed to have been postmarked on or before election day.

50:54 So even if we have like a purple smudge or some thumbprint that looks like somebody might have walked, buy a machine that is a postmark machine, you can't read the postmarks, they will deem them as having been postmarked honor before election day. Also, this came out in the discussions on this case by Paul Clement, who argued the case against these mass meal in ballots. He said, look, you know, as long as they're postmarked by midnight. Now if poles close it let's say seven o'clock, and let's say by eight o'clock and projection is the Congressman XYZ wins or a challenger ABC. Does you can postmark something at the post office of post offices stays open until midnight, so you could have a declared or projected winner. Eight, somebody says at eight pm, Okay, we've got basically three and a half hours to come up with enough magic ballots, get them postmarked by midnight, drop them off, and all of a sudden, the extra you know, five hundred or six hundred or one thousand or two or three thousand votes, whatever it is, come in and they're postmarked by that date, And even though the polls have closed, between the time poles closed and when the post office closes, you still have those extra four hours, or a monkey shines can happen and still have a legitimate postmark and still get away with something which essentially is fraudulent. So this is a terrible decision, all the more reason for Congress to power the Senate pass the Save America Act, put it on President Trump's desk, because if these magic ballots are going to float in for days and weeks afterward, the only way to stop this mess now is to stop the conveyor belt of mail in ballots as they come in and do what the Save America Act does, which

52:26 is to limit mail in ballots to people who are sick, disabled, out of town, if you're in college or away from where you live, if you're in the military, or if you happen to be on a vacation or business trip whatever, and you won't be the election they've be't find then you can use a mail in ballot. But this business where like in California, they just send balance to every single solitary soul on the voter role, even if that souls in heaven or hell, even people who are dead. And they found hundreds of thousands of people dead people on the voter roles in California. Everybody gets in ballot. They then can be put in drop boxes, you know, by the handful. Ballot hustlers will pick them up and drop them off at the county clerk's offices. They don't have to show ID. They don't have explained who they are. They would say, hey, this is my you know, my husband's ballot, or this is my mom's ballot, or my grandma's or my wife, could be anybody here, here's a stack on a hundred ballots count of Okay, sir, thanks very much, Bye bye. Who is that guy? Where do you come from? Where do you get your knows? They don't check these things. There's no chain of custody, there's no way to vet these things. You know, we hope they're honest. They could be totally dishonest. They could pick up one hundred ballots, go through them and say, oh, we don't like these thirteen ballots for the Republican or we don't like these eighteen ballots of the Democrats, to throw those out and drop off the rest. It's a completely fourth World, twisted, ridiculous, absurd system. And unfortunately Amy Cony, Barrett and the Supreme Court just through their blessed with their holy water, and it's a very bad situation. Again, the Save America Acting can get us out of this mess.

53:51 That thing doesn't pass, I think it's going to be doomsday for Republican candidates from coast to coast. Is John Dune? I mean, can John Dune find a sword to fall on? Here? I mean, he's got everybody's on break right now. They should be working non stop to get the Save Act across the finish line, and they're out there on break right now. Well, you say, does he can he find a sword to fall on? In order fall and the sort you got to get out of bed? And I think Johnathan might be napping as we speak, or maybe sitting in a tanning tanning booth or something like that. You know the argument by Pune and John cornyin and at least that part of the leadership of the Senate. You he is, Hey, we'd love to do the Save America Act, but we're really busy. We've got juditional nominations, we've got budget bills, we've got the Vice of Court Rene statement and all that.

54:41 We're just too busy. Sorry, we can't do. And then they take off for eighteen day vacation, including taking off last Wednesday, not even wait till the end of the week. On Friday, they took off on Wednesday, said right, we're on't break goodbye. So I can't take them seriously when they say they're too busy to do with the Save America Act when they take an eighteen day break. These people on a vacation all the time. Congressm Byron Donald's of your state of Florida said, the Senate is basically practical laziness, and I find it. I'm sick and disgusted by it. I think Americans should be sick and disgusted. These people take too much time off and look, the one thing, if they've done all their work, and they passed everything they need, and the Save America Act got voted into in a law and signed by President Trump, and fine, go take a break. They're they're leaving when they've got multiple fires burning, and they're just soughing off their responsibilities. I'm very, very disappointed the so called leadership of John Thune. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm starting to. I'm starting to miss Mitch McConnell.

55:34 I really am, and I'm no big Mitch McConnell fan, but I think this guy's lazier than Mitch McConnell, and I think he's more easily bemboozled than than McConnelly, who was very easily benboozled a Senate leader. And then this microscopic or conciliation ability to a couple weeks ago, virtually nothing in it. We had money for the TPA, for the TSA rather and the border patrol, but nothing else. They could have tried to put the Save America Act in there, or at least parts that didn't do that. They didn't do anything about tax scuts, didn't do anything about deregulation, they didn't do anything about making the doge cuts permanent, those cuts permanent. They didn't do anything about taking President Trump's executive orders and making those statute statutory statute ports that couldn't be knocked out by the next Democrat executive order. And okay, here's the microscopic Reconcilation bill.

56:19 There you go. A pathetic I mean, the lead the SoC coll leadership with John Thune is actually kind of jaw droppingly inept. And I'm already sick and tired of him, and I think he has one chance redeem himself. We just get back after these guys come from back from their break, get a Save of America Act passed to a standing fill muster or whatever they got to do, and get it on a President Trump's desk. If not come to this November. People who win the elections on Kyle, like Spencer Pratt, you know, election night, Hey, this guy did great. He looks like he's gonna win. And slowly but surely, over the next three, four, five, six days or a week or two, the magic ballots come in and always never happens Democrats, always happens to the Republicans. That marginal victory gets smaller and smaller and smaller until it disappears that the Democrat declares victory an account. That's that's the final official count, and John there is going to find himself as as they saidate minority leader, not majority.

57:07 Exactly what's happens. Yeah. I rarely say things like this, but I would say to you, Deroy, that if the Senate fails to pass the Save America Act, that that will be the death nail for the Republican Party. I think in many perspects it will be because we're going to have the magic ballot problem, which is going to be severe, and then we're also going to have a lot of Republican voters. We're going to look at the Senate and say, well, look, you know, we put you in there to do something simple, which is to protect our elections. You didn't do it. So guess what. I'm going to go play golf on election day, or I'm going to stay home for your book, or I'm just going to sleep in and get some rest. You need it. You've got to have every every Democrat, all the people a Trump will be out in big numbers to make sure that they punish Trump by knocking out his candidates.

57:54 The GP and the candidate GP voters and mega voters and pro Trump voters, independence as well, and even some thinking Democrats who might side to the president. If they don't go to the polls this November, it's going to be wipeout and if they will be demoralized and they will be much less likely to show up and vote. If people on our site have been screaming for the Save America Act, which is popular, by the way, the things in it are popular left Middland right. It's not like we're asking for some bill that nobody wants to build that everybody wants and the center Republicans are not able to get it together. People are going to be very angry, very frustrated, very crumpy. And you know, if just three or four percent of them stay home, you know, good night. I read for the for the the Twope candidates.

58:34 They're going to move the House and maybe even lose the Senate. Yeah, very serious, very serious stuff. Well we'll call it there, and let's go out and you know, do something and celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth like there's no tomorrow. Enjoy it. And you know, toeah, there's so much to enjoy and to celebrate when you think about, you know, America's great hair meritage of two hundred and fifty years, and you've got to look and appreciate the past two hundred and fifty years if you want to hold on to another two hundred and fifty going forward along the same manner, and instead of what is being offered by these the socialists and these communists that are rising here in this country.

59:19 Deroy, that's absolutely right. I think we have a lot to be grateful for as Americans, this beautiful, amazing, always fascinating, surprising country, the technological press, we have, the economic resources we enjoy, the freedoms we cherish, and just the splendor and the creature comforts we enjoy as well as the political and economic and religious and civil freedoms that we do. And this is why people go to such efforts to break into this country. You don't see them breaking into Venezuela or breaking into Cuba. They're breaking into this country. And those of us who live here and were fortunately be born here have a lot to be thankful for this July fourth night. I know, I certainly, and you aren't.

1:00:00 For your shot listeners are as well. Exactly well, you know, the Europeans are envious of our ice and air conditioning these days. They're happy to be here in this country, you know, celebrating their you know, their football games, which has been absolutely awesome and a blessing to us. We'll have to leave it there. Deroy Happy forth of July. My friend, he's the Manhattan based After Deals contributor, Deroy Murdoc. Thank you, Deroy, Okay, you bet, thanks a lot. By streaming TV is where it's at.

1:01:34 Getting America back on track. Bill Martinez Live, six minutes after the top of the hour. Right now, I'm glad you could join us. We've got Trevor Lauden with us, the New Zealand author, researcher, speaker, and political activists. It's been Trevor who has been shouting from the timbers at least for a decade and a half that the socialists are coming. Well, guess what they are. No longer an existential threat as Trevor been saying, they've been living amongst us. They have borne down into institutions, including elected officers, and they came out loud and proud last night, Trevor. They certainly did in.

1:02:15 New York across the state two well, they basically run won three congressional primaries, so there'll be three more of them in office probably after November, plus several state Assembly seats, as a state Senate seat and others around New York. But that's just capping off a whole run. The one seats in albert Querque and at Los Angeles, Portland, Oregon, Minnesota, Detroit, you name it, all over the country. There's now hundreds of them in office around the country, right, I. Mean, think about that, hundreds in office now and growing.

1:02:56 And it's like we've got mom Danni's sprouting out all over the place. But not a big surprise for you. You've been warning us on that, like I said, at least for a decade and a half. Yes I have. And by the way, I didn't mention they also won the DC mayoralty and one DC Council seat as well. But yes, a decade and half. I'll follow it. I'll follow Democratic Socialist America for nearly twenty years now. And we need to understand that this is just the latest iteration. It was the founder of DSA, a guy called Michael Harrington who wrote the blueprint of the Great Society back in the nineteen sixties that massively expanded welfare in this country and destroyed families all over the place under Lyndon Johnson. Was DSA through Quentin Young, Obama's personal physician, who gave us Obamacare. It was DSA through Alisau Medina that gave us a legal immigration amnesty. You know, the push for legal immigrants and amnesty. So what we see now is the damage they have done in the past, but this is going to be on steroids. They are really making a big push here to fully take over the Democratic Party and to basically destroy this country.

1:04:14 Well, they really have taken over the Democratic Party. You've got AOC, you've got Bernie Sanders now that have put their stake into this party and looks like they're going to have total control. And I think, on one hand and a strategic end and I was discussing this with somebody else earlier, Trevor, is that the way they came in, it wasn't like they created a whole new party. They came in and overtook the Democratic Party. And so they present the illusion as if it is still a Democratic Party, but it's not. The Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialist Party are antithical, are they not. Well, look, the Democratic Party's been moving to the lift, but the DSA is communist. Yes, they are a communist organization, so they this is a communist organization taking over the Socialist Democratic Party. So yeah, it's a big lurch to the left, and it's patchy around the country, but the main place is Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Washington, DC, these are Boston. These are all heavily influenced by do you say now, plus many many other centers. But the other thing is they control a union movement. They control groups like Indivisible, they control the US Left, the Sunrise Movement, people like this Working Families Party. This is all part of a whole. But the point we have to understand

1:05:47 is these people are tied to the Chinese, the Cubans, and European and Latin American communists. This is part of an international movement to take down the United States. Dates where else is this taking place besides the United States? Trevor Well, It's already taken place in Brazil. Brazil was a big model for this under LULAA, the Marxist, and it was Lula that set up the stle Polo Forum, a gathering of Latin American communist parties with Fidel Castro. Well DSA is now an associate member of that organization, which which was specifically set up to recover for communism in Latin America while was lost in Eastern Europe. So it's happening in Canada, It's happening in Australia. It's happening in the United States and in Britain where the Communist Party is very strong in the British Labor Party and a new pro Communist leader is just about to take over British Labor, a guy called Andy Burnham. So this is happening in most of the Western countries, most of Western Europe, and all of the pretty much all of the Anglo sphere except for New Zealand right now.

1:07:02 And it would seem that what is consistent in these areas that you've just cited all dealing with immigration issues, all dealing with you know, all kinds of ideas and not enough money. Yeah, well that's right. And you mentioned immigration. Immigration is the key weapon for destroying the conservative voting base and all of the anglosphere. You know, the Australian Marxist leader Anthony Albanesi who now runs a place, you know, he was elected by the Communist Party of China. Essentially they have he caught. The Communist Party of China called on Australian Chinese to vote for Albanesi and they want several key electorates for him.

1:07:50 The influence of China and Canada as extreme now they are, you know, dictating the outcomes of elections all over the place, and in places like California, the influence of Chinese is very strong. As in New York, where you'll find DSA is very strong, you also find the Chinese are very strong San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Boston. These go together hand in hand. But we've got to understand DSA is an agency of foreign powers. It is a tool of the Chinese and foreign communists. And one of the main way this is playing out right now is that DSA is leading the charge against data centers all over the United States, you know, big AI centers, because and I understand people's concerns about these. People are concerned about their privacy, they're concerned about resources being used up. But the battle to shut these down is being led by DSA because DSA is doing this on behalf of the Chinese exactly, because because the war for the twenty first century in the next century is going to be fought on AI and Trump has made it very clear America has to win this, and we don't win it, China will and they will dominate the planet. So DSA is out there right now trying to retard America's development of AI as much as it possibly can, because they are

1:09:23 working for the enemy. Yeah, exactly. You know, people may think, well, you know, I'm not seeing a lot of Chinese around. How are they able to leverage so much influence and power? We see what they've done in media, in sports and other areas. But I say, look, look at the example of what happened in Minneapolis. You've got eighty thousand Somalis there, Trevor that have basically taken over that city and ultimately the state. Eighty thousand is a voting block. So it doesn't take a lot of people in order to wield this kind of influence in power. No, it doesn't. Well, look in San Francisco, they have a group called the Chinese Progressive Association, which works as the agency for the Chinese Communist Party. But you cannot get elected to the San Francisco San Francisco City Council without the blessing of the Chinese Progressive Association. Now they have expanded that influence that they started in San Francisco into Sacramento, into la and also into Washington, d C. Through Nancy Pelosi and many other people, and Gavin Newsom of course, but they also The Chinese Progressive Association also runs major voter registration organizations and all of the key swing states through a group they started called Seed the Vote. They also started Black Lives Matter too, by the way, but the

1:10:54 Seed the Vote claims they won six of the seven state states targeted in twenty twenty for Biden Harris, and they did. So. It is and see the Vote is staffed largely. By Democratic Socialists of America members, but it's a Chinese operation. This report is sponsored by IBM.

This is Don Shank with Today's global update from the Tide Ministry, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide and the languages people were born to speak. As Americans prepared to mark the nation's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, the Tide is turning the celebration into a call to action, urging believers across the country to remember the millions of Christians around the world for whom religious freedom is not a birthrate but a dangerous pursuit. For the Tide Ministry that broadcasts the Gospel worldwide July fourth, carries a weight that goes far beyond fireworks and festivities. It is a sobering reminder of how many people are still waiting for the religious freedom America has long taken for granted. Every broadcast the Tide airs in a restricted region. Every believer who takes a risk to tune in is a testament to the fact that the Gospel cannot be legislated away.

1:16:05 Nutrition for Patriots, we're talking about Trevor Louden, the New Zealand author researcher, speaker, and political activists. Yeah. I mean they're bringing in the numbers. It's concentrated, it's focused, and they're overwhelming this democratic Republic. You know, So what should be the strategy of fair minded Americans who are looking at the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, you know, less than two weeks away, and we're realizing the warning of one Ronald Reagan that said that, you know, democracy is you know, we're one generation from losing you know, our liberties and our democracy.

1:16:47 Well, look, this is going to take Well, it's going to take our action, grassroots people getting behind making sure that the Democrats are defeated. In the midim elections. That's essential. Because they win, and they win the presidency, the illegal immigration pipeline starts all up again, the borders fly open again, more Muslim immigration in America's finished, you know, it's gone. But it's also going to take federal action. Now, I just noted that one of the leader of the Antifa group that attacked an ICE facility in Texas some time ago, just got one hundred years jail, one hundred years jail.

1:17:29 Or as co conspirators got between thirty and fifty year terms. We got to get serious about going after DSA for their illegal activities, for their work for foreign powers, and we've got to start prosecuting these people actually make this is the modern Communist Party. And we know the Communist Party worked for the Soviet Union. They had four hundred agents in the Roosevelt administration who did also sorts of sabotage on this country, set up the United Nations. God are sins of the World Monetary Fund, all this kind of garbage that we're still suffering from today. These people are actively committing trees and against the United States, and we need to be setting up hearings to investigate these people and treat them as the communist, foreign backed communists that they are. So it's the local people have got to defend their own turf. They've got to get educated on DSA. They've got to make sure these people don't get elected. But we do need federal action. We need to treat this as a as a as a national security threat, which it is.

1:18:43 Well, I think some of the inherent problem for the masses is Trevor, they don't understand democratic socialist. It sounds it's you know, it just sounds you know, well it's you know, like it's Democratic Party related and they're confused, they don't get it. I mean it's almost like we need to retitle the dssay to the Democratic Communists. Yeah, we need to brand them as Look, they say it themselves that they are communists. You know, the difference between democratic socialism and communism is essentially three to five years. Yes, that's what it is.

1:19:23 And look, they have cross membership with the Communist Party USA and Liberation Road, the Freedom Road socialist organization. They have several communist groups operating within their in their ranks, they have a Communist Caucus. One of their co leaders is a member of that. As I've said, they work with Brazilian communists, European Communists, Chinese communists, they have very deep connections to the Cuban Communists now very deep, and the Venezuelan Communists as well, all enemies. Of America they work with. So we need to be going after these people in PROSS, securing them as acting as unregistered agents of foreign powers for espionage.

1:20:06 For subversion. Several of them. Look, one of their members served fifteen seventeen years in jail for spying for the Soviet Union in East Germany, was prosecuted in the nineties, got out of jail straight back into DSA. Now he's a leader of the Washington DC branch. They took him straight back. A convicted traitor who sold military secrets to our enemies was welcomed back into DSA, guy called Kurt Stand, him and his wife and his buddy. Three of them all got prosecuted, all got fifteen to twenty one years jail. But Kurt Stand was allowed straight back in, as was his daughter. She's in DSA as well.

1:20:54 Yeah, the character of these people is so noted. Even Mike Johnson was speaking about it in saying that you've got the one bang in California refuses to say the pledge of allegiance. You've got Hemingway out of New Jersey, ties to al Qaeda and other terrorists. Chevalier wants to abolish the border. Mendoza Arizona, decriminalized trans prostitution, whatever that is. James and Iowa wants to apologize for being white, and Garyott and Iowa performed a Satanist wedding. These are anti American people. And this is what we've been saying on the show, is that you need to look at it through the prism of either their pro American or the anti American. And the good news is, you know, here for many years, like you say, almost twenty years, Trevor, you've been yelling from the timbers about Democratic socialists that were in our government. But they kept themselves in the closet.

1:21:55 Now because of Mam Donnie, I guess we can be grateful for Mamdanni getting elected in New York. They're loud and proud and they're out of the closet full blown. Well absolutely that they got four members on the La City Council, four on the Portland, Oregon City Council, hundreds of state legislators, reps, school board members, several members in Congress. They should have up to maybe eight to ten members of Congress. And the next in the next session, you know, probably Cory Bush out in Missouri. May Vang who just mentioned out in Sacramento, who wouldn't support America. They're talking about.

1:22:35 Their new policy has just come out. Abolish the Senate, abolished the presidency, make Puerto Rico state, made Washington d C. Estate? Why make Puerto Rico and Washington d C. Estate? Because why make Washington d C. And Puerto Rico States, because that's two more left wing senators from each one, which will give the Democrats, which are controlled by DSA, a non assailable majority. So you know, they're playing a very long strategic game. But the point I keep on emphasizing is they are foreign backed, they are foreign agents. This is not just an American phenomenon.

1:23:16 This is an international communist phenomena, and. People need to understand. You know, if you want to know what somebody is going to do, look what they've done. And the socialists are not concerned about the individual. You know, this is why Karen Basker care less what's happening in La with people that are suffering still without homes and may never get home again, because she's a socialist. She's citing with this group of people. But that's their nature. It's not about the people. It's about power and control. It's about their infrastructure, right exactly. It's all about person. Mandami right now is stacking is stacking the New York City government with hundreds of his people. So even if he's not the mayor the next the next you know, we'll have the same thing. See David Dinkins back in the early nineties was also a DSA member, and under Dinkins he didn't enforce the laws. The streets were filthy.

1:24:16 Times Square was full of prostitutes and drug addicts, and the tourists stayed away. That was New York's lowest point under a DSA mayor, and Giuliani had to come and to fix it up. But Mandarmi is ten times worse than Dinkins. This is way way bigger now. Back in those days, DSA was six thousand members. Now it's one hundred thousand members. You know, in the Los Angeles you mentioned Karen Bass very deeply tied to the Cubans, a former Marlist, a former DSA supporter herself, and her main opponent is Nithya Rahman, who is a DSA member. So you got communists versus socialist where he really got two communists on the bella exactly. Daryl Gates, who is the mayor of Los Angeles, ys are the police chief a very good one, accused Karen Bass of running Cuban weapons to Los Angeles gangs back in the day, and.

1:25:15 Now the woman is mayor. You know, can you believe that? You know? But the media is so weak and so compliant that the voters never hit this kind of stuff. And we mount up and wake up here, Trevor, that's the call, right it is, And you know it's. Been so Pratt was loudly talking about DSA and his campaign against Karen Bass, but you know, nine points ahead an election night, and now now he's out of the race because of the ballots that came. And this is what takes federal action. You cannot clean up the vote frauds, you cannot clean up the corruption, you cannot clean up the socialism from California or from Illinois. You've got to do this federally. This is a feed through problem, and our ney the feeds can fix.

1:26:03 Us exactly well. He's a New Zealand author, researcher, speaker and political activist. Trevor as always appreciate the time. Thank you for being with us. Take care, God speed, my friend.

1:29:58 Lee probably doesn't realize, you know, Lee, I want to tell you up front. I probably should have had you know. Several Gold records along the years because in Los Angeles, I played I played Chicago NonStop when I was working with the likes of Wolfman Jack and Charlie Tune and Los Angeles, and in fact, I was the first one on the planet to play Feeling Stronger every day because our program director Bob Wilson was with you guys out in Colorado, I believe, in the recording studio, and he brought a pressing of that song, and I was on the air at the time. He says, Hey, this is hot off the presses, and I blew everybody away, because, as you know, in the radio business, you know, first of all, when you have an exclusive like that, that's real special number one. But you know, I not only played it once, but I played it twice back to back, just for fun.

1:30:56 Great so it became a hit, instant hit. Instant, instant hit, and we loved it. So you know. Of course, of course Chicago at the time was certainly one of my favorites, and I enjoyed it, so I kept I kept teasing. I think Bobby Lamb and Pete had come by the studio several times because they used to hang around with wolf Man Jack, and I said, hey, you guys a a gold record or two just along the way by the way, there you go. I mean, hey, I didn't ask for any you know, any kind of the you know, the revenues or you know, like I was teasing Paul Williams about, I said, hey, you can give me like ten percent of your royalties. You know, he did the same thing you did. He just laughed.

1:31:38 But hey, look at we digress. But thank you for you know, allowing me some time for reverie here. And it's just all to say that, gosh, you know, Chicago is still on my heart, still on my playlist, and just appreciate the talents and the gifting of you know what a group of guys that you know, were pulled together in that group. Yeah, we are very fortunate and guys, you know, like minded guys who loved playing music and music together and we love playing for audiences. And we still do the same thing today. Even though there's you know, many different guys in the band right now. The rind still smokes and it's a testament to the music that it holds up.

1:32:21 I mean, the Eagles have one guy in the band and the music still holds up. Right, Well, that's many bands now that because of their age, have had to get you know, replacement players. But as long as the music works and you're playing it like you're doing it for the first time, it's going to go. It's going to go. Well, well, there it is. I mean it has. Chicago has been a brand so well established and as you said, you know, people know what to expect when they go to a Chicago concert. And we're looking forward to July the fourth. Tell us about that, Yes. One of a life, once in a lifetime performance, and we're going to be doing Saturday in the Park feeling Stronger every Day and twenty five or sixty fourth with fireworks.

1:33:11 Yes, of course, yeah, exactly, Well, a capital fourth and of course, as you said, once in a lifetime because this is the only time we'll celebrate our two hundred and fiftieth birthday. Right, it's correct, and I believe it's going to be shown on July third, eight o'clock to nine thirty Eastern Excellence PBS stations across the country. Well, what a what a neat experience, And you know, we always enjoy a capital fourth, but we're definitely looking forward to it because one of our all time favorite bands that that group called Chicago is going. To be on. Yeah, I think I'll tune it in myself. Yeah why not? So so what was it like, you know when you when you got the invite Lee for the group to show up for a Capitol fourth What did you guys think.

1:34:00 Oh, we had to make him twist our art? Okay? Yeah, Well, you know, Chicago is so Americana, isn't it. I mean, forget about all the politics and all that set that aside. I mean, you know, the group itself has reflected the musical heartbeat of a culture and a nation, has it not? Over the years, it has? And I am proud and I love being able to go out and represent that legacy every night. I mean, it is just so much fun to watch audiences reacting each and every song. It's great. Well, and as you said, Lee, I mean here, you're the first American rock band of chart top forty albums in six consecutive decades that says staying power, doesn't it?

1:34:51 It does. I don't know how I did it, but here I am. Well, as you said, now, oh no, right right, well, you know I mean when you guys first got together, I mean, could you ever conceive that you would sell over a hundred million records. No, No, it's we just you know, put one foot in front of the other and one note in front of the next, and it just started growing. And I can think of a lot worse things to be doing with my life right about now. Well, I imagine you get those pinch yourself moments where you think, gosh, I'm doing this, I mean for you your musical career. Tell our audience how that began.

1:35:43 My dad asked me if I wanted to play trumpet in the Great School Band, and he took me in to meet the band director. He had to look at my peek to see if I was going to hurt myself putting a brass piece against my lips. Huh and uh, everything looked fine. So I started and uh, here we are talking all of a sudden, well seemingly believe it's fifty nine years. Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah that's what they say, say, how did you do this? Oh, you know, fifty nine years plus a lifetime of experiences and all that you've gone through. So when the band started, when the when the band started coming together, what was the what was the idea? I mean, because here it was.

1:36:31 I mean, you guys came on with you know, such rich brass sounds and you know, rock blending together. This was a unique sound at the time. Yeah. Well, initially for the first couple of weeks, I guess we decided we were going to go to Vegas and be one, you know, like a show band, right, and you know, steps and suits and that kind of stuff. But it wasn't too long too only a few months in to our career that we tore the suits off of our back and played the hippies for a while. And then you know, the music and the audiences started growing, and you know, one thing led to another, and here we are talking. It's like it happened overnight. And I can't believe that it's that much time under the bridge.

1:37:26 Well, yeah, and it's amazing. I mean, here it is your fifty ninth year, as you say, and this has been fifty nine years of consecutive touring. You've never taken a break, never taken. A year off, even in COVID. We worked the first couple of months of COVID and then we had fifteen months off and worked the very next year. In July or so, when we started back when people were coming out of their homes again for the first time. Well, you know you talked about your start. Well you know, maybe we'll just go to Vegas. Well go figure, uh you you know, right, observation an idea. Here you are now at the Venetian in Vegas.

1:38:09 Right, yes, exactly exactly. We'll be there again next year. Well that'll be that'll be your tenth year in a row. They're selling out performances at the Venetian Theater and what a what a great theater to play out of, right it is. It is very good. You keep expecting the phantom to be coming down. Exactly. Well, as we wrap things up here, so many memories from your group, and you've given us so much, and and you've been you know, rightfully recognized and acknowledged, whether it's uh you know, double Platinum uh awards, Uh you know Grammy Awards and that uh you know it's uh, it's a deserved credit for all the hard work and the blessings that you've bestowed upon ist Lee. So as we wrap things up, tell us what the July the fourth means to you as an American.

1:39:10 It's a one in a lifetime opportunity. That we are relishing, and we can't wait for it to happen, and it will be gone in the blink of an eye like everything else, and then we'll play another show the very next day. Wow, So you know, life will move on, but this one day is only going to happen that one time, two hundred and fifty years as a country. Right, great opportunity. Lee Locke Nanin from the famous group Chicago has been our guest.

1:44:26 Welcome morning, welcome back. Good to have you with us. Bill Martinez here and for focus on the family, Paul Axa joins us. Now, Hey, mister Paul, have you for the July or two hundred and fiftieth birthday? Put another candle on the birthday cake? Huh, no doubt. That's a lot of candles. It's gonna it's gonna set the roof on fire. I think, yeah, if you're not hot enough yet, then it'll definitely warm you up. Of course, you know, we got the Europeans here that are teaching us what it's like to appreciate America and to unite us together. And of course our soccer team. Of course Europeans call it football, but our soccer team is doing a lot to you know, to bring the divide together here. And you know they're yelling and screaming USA and all that good stuff, and hearing from the Europeans about you know, their wonderment over a simple thing like ice or air conditioning.

1:45:18 Right, absolutely, absolutely yeah. And I tell you what, I have been really really fascinated by the World Cup. It's a great time of year. I've always been kind of a soccer fan. You but that game, the US game against Bosnia i Hertzecovina was amazing. It was a really incredible, gripping game. Well, especially the last thirty five minutes when it was ten against eleven. Right, absolutely absolutely yeah, it was, you know, and I didn't think, not that we're here to talk about football, but I did not think that that penalty deserved a red card myself. But that's just me, well you and a lot of the pundits. I mean I was in there thinking, you know, what is Ca Clark thinking? You know, unless she's beat up and no bowels are called for her to protect her or anything like that, and something like this that even in real time, the officials didn't call it, weren't even putting up a yellow card, but it was just there was an appeal to what they call bars, which is the same thing like the Major League Baseball has.

1:46:21 So they go to New York and they look at it in slow motion. Is a strike or what happened? You know, kind of deal to make a determination, and you know, the people, I don't know, maybe maybe it's all part of that anti American sentiment. They're still not over the fact that we won the gold medal in the Olympics in nineteen eighty. So well and when we run into Britain if we if we do in the World Cup, you know, they're just they still have a grudge to about seventeen seventy six. So thank you, you see, right exactly, I mean, we have ice, they don't, so you know, it's it's a harsh, cruel world. But regardless, I mean, we have so much to celebrate our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Let's not pay attention much to these socialists who have come in that want to run this country. Into the ground. Uh, clearly.

1:47:08 And I don't mean to put you into a political stage here, but you know, I think there's there's lots to celebrate, and we're we're remembering some things that probably should have been taught to our kids all along. You know, we're trying to we're trying to give them a catch up here, you know, kind of like the Evelyn Woods School of speed reading and give them a crash course on American history when they've been indoctrinated for decades that you know that, you know, how can you be American? You know, you need to be anti American because look at what America has uh has spawned. You know, we just got the oppressors and the oppressed, you know, and so our unippressor and uh you know, you know, so let's let's extend and let's promote this shared white guilt and have our kids grow up and if they're white then to feel like, oh my gosh, I'm not part of the persecuted class. So I must know I got to take it on the chin or worse yet, like this young man, this eighteen year old in England who was murdered, and I think that this is the Canary in the coal mine here. What happened there in England is that this kind of thought that would allow somebody, an innocent to be prejudged while he's on the ground bleeding and saying I can't breathe. They allow this young man to bleed out and die. It's just tragic. But psychologically, okay, what caused that? I mean, you can need jerk right away and say, well, look at the police. The police

1:48:38 didn't do their job. Now, the police did their job in a way because this is what they've been conditioned to do. Is particularly in England, and that kind of psychology is croach encroaching itself here in America to think that, okay, we got to think not in terms of public safety, we have to think in terms of, you know, what's politically correct, and you know, based on what we're seeing, who's the oppressor and who's the oppressed? And in this particular case, they got it wrong, real wrong. And it concerns me because this could be coming to America if it's not already here. Yeah, it's an interesting time, right, and I do think that there's a lot of there's a lot of uncertainty, there's a lot of angst that sort of as we come into this time of celebration. You know, we're distracted by a lot of things around our country, around the world.

1:49:34 But I do think that when we turn our attention to the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, it is a time for celebration, and I think we live in a fantastic country. It's not perfect. We have made tons of mistakes in these two hundred and fifty years, right, but at the same time, it's a remarkable nation. In one of the things, Actually this is a little bit of a tangent, but I just wrote a blog that kind of pointed people to twenty five. Movies for the two hundred and fiftieth. Then twenty five movies that really allow us to sort of think about the country, that allow us to celebrate the country, that kind of highlight what I think are just some of our greatest attributes as a nation, will also pointing to some of the things that we've done wrong over the years. It was a really fun blog to put together.

1:50:26 Well that's great, you know, and you're exactly right, it's not like we've got it all perfect. I mean, even our founders said that our aspiration was to you know, to achieve a more perfect union. That's our goal, that's our focus. And I love that they said that they weren't claiming perfection. They were just claiming, Hey, you know what, we're going to be in the fight to create a more perfect union. And it was brilliant. And you know, the thing is less we forget. America exists only and because of God Almighty, we are a blessed nation. And when we've honored God, we've been blessed. Yes, we've made mistakes, but we've also got some things right. And then meanwhile we corrected things right. We even had a civil war in order to again to focus on that more perfect union goal that we said, No, we've got to get We've got to get something this, you know, which you could say is cancerous and debilitating. We need to get that out of our culture. And what do we have?

1:51:33 Almost three quarters of a million people died for the sake of slavery and for the sake of freedom, you know, for all anyway, I want to get specific about these twenty five movies. What twenty five movies did you highlight? Man? So many, so many and just in the in the little bit that you were talking, you know, some of them highlight that very issue. You know, we do talk about slavery in this blog. We do talk about the civil rights movement in this blog, so we we talk. We included two R rated movies, which is very unusual for produg Dan as you know, to do, but we did point to Twelve Years a Slave, which really talks about the evil of slavery. We included Glory, which is about an African American regiment, the very first African American regiment in the Civil War, and the sacrifices that they made for freedom and for the country. And then we highlighted Selma as well, which was obviously Martin Luther King Junior's march from Selma to Montgomery. So those were a couple of the ones that we highlighted that sort of point to, No, we haven't done everything right, but we continue to work and we continue to improve, and I think that there's been tremendous progress made. We also talked a little bit about just some things that illustrate the character what we'd like to think of ourselves as Americans.

1:52:57 And I threw a couple of black and white movie in there, because I'm a huge black and white movie fan. High Noon one of the very classic westerns of all time. If you haven't seen it, it is worth a watch, starring Gary Cooper as this sheriff who's facing down a bunch of terrible people when he really should be retired and getting out of town, but he decides to take on this one last challenge, even though he means it'll be his his death potentially. It's a really inspiring, fascinating, entertaining story. We also threw on, of course, mister Smith goes to Washington, which was Jimmy Stewart's one of his best roles. This idealistic senator comes to Washington. All his eyes are filled with the idea that this is a great, wonderful place. He realizes that Washington is full of weirdness and corruption, and in some ways watching it makes you feel good. Well, I guess it wasn't so different from nineteen thirty eight as it is now exactly. But he's fearheads this this movement. He thinks that, yeah, again it sort of illustrates, Yeah, there are problems, but this nation was built on something special, something true, something beautiful, and as you say, points all back to God. It's a really inspiring movie. So those are a few that we actually highlighted on the list. It was a super fun list to put together.

1:54:23 Well, I think it's a fun time. I mean, we've got lots to celebrate our you know, George Washington, John Adams, others spoke of how to celebrate this day with you know, this day with fireworks. That was back then when we had our first Fourth of July. Now two hundred and fifty years later, we've got a lot of fireworks. We've got you know, military power being flown overhead, you know, and as you say, there's lots lots of us to lots of things for us to be proud of. And again, you know it is you know, in our humanity, nobody has gotten it perfect. We've made our mistakes. But you know, the redeeming aspect of this is that we've followed Godly principles.

1:55:10 When God said, look at if my people who are called by my name, and this country which has been called and people in this country who've been called by his name realized that when it's beyond our ability to solve, and we realize that we have sinned. You know, when you look at when you look at what God is and what He expects of us and for us to obey his law. And when we see that we've sinned, we've turned to God, and God, in his faithfulness, has forgiven us, and he has restored our land time and time again. I pray that where we are right now is knees are bowing and heads are bowing, and knees are on the floor, that we would turn to God and look to God to give us, by his grace and mercy, should it be his will, another two hundred and fifty years, Paul.

1:55:59 I love that. I love that thought, and it actually brings to mind a couple more movies that we put on the list. Uh, there's not a lot of Hollywood movies that that really illustrate kind of that that Colonial Revolutionary War period, but we did get a couple of them, and they're very Christian based movies this year. One of them was The Great Awakening, which chronicles George Whitfield's visit to the United States and how he inspired Benjamin Franklin, a deist, to really embrace the idea of religious liberty and the importance of religion and the creation of the country. And then another one just out this weekend actually is young Washington. Yeah, uh, which is which is a super fun, pretty historical Uh.

1:56:46 Look at well a young George Washington, long before he had falls deeth, long before he became President of the United States, he was just a Virginian colonial wanting to improve his station. Uh. And the Ish of the time and the colonial days did not make that easy. He joins the military. He is told to tell these pesky French soldiers to get off what the British consider to be their property in the Ohio River Valley. And one thing leads to another, and George Washington becomes one of the catalysts for the French and Indian War, which in its own way precipitated. The Revolutionary War.

1:57:28 It's a it's a really fascinating story and a pretty entertaining one to boot. Yeah, there's some good movies to watch, inspiring movies to watch as we celebrate and come together between you know, football, soccer, you know and and and you know, the celebrations of this Fourth of July weekend.
