And 8 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: I have no idea what you're going to be talking 9 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: about today, which is typically the case, but love and terror. 10 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: Welcome back. Jack, appreciate you coming on the show. 11 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: I have no idea either, But happy holidays, my friend, 12 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: right that guy you actually let's talk about this. Christians 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: will soon celebrate Christmas, the birth of Jesus. Jews are 14 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: about to break out menorah's and dredles to celebrate Hanukkah, 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem, and soon Muslims 16 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: will be marking the miraculous nighttime journey of the prophet 17 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: Mohammed from Mecca to Jerusalem and then up to Heaven 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: where he met Adam, Moses, and Jesus. So who couldn't 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 2: be filled with love this time of year? 20 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: Here, let me. Look around me, Jack, at the multitude 21 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: of articles that I see where people clearly are not 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: in a festive holiday, love filled state of emotions. 23 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: I know I've heard some of your SCC non compliance. 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: I know, I know we all slipped. 25 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, sadly, quite a few people who profess love 26 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: preach hate, even terror in their quest to regain power, 27 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: like many in your great audience. I'm a child of 28 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: the sixties, when hippies flashed peace signs. Actually in places 29 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: like hate Ashbury, they flashed a lot more than that. 30 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: They flashed everything. The peace signs and peaceful sittings and 31 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: songs like All You Need Is Love, stopped the Vietnam War, 32 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: they forced Lyndon Johnson out of the White House, supported 33 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: our new civil rights laws as well as women's and 34 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: gay rights movements, and, perhaps most fun for teenagers like me, 35 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: the sexties gave us the sexual Revolution, but lurking within 36 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: the free love, free pot communes from Berkeley to Woodstock 37 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: with something a lot more sinister, authoritarian, big government socialism. 38 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 2: While everyone was singing Beatles tunes, a lot of kids 39 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 2: like Hillary Clinton and a little later Barack Obama, were 40 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: studying Herbert Marcusa. I don't know how many people remember him, 41 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: but he was a disciple of Karl Marx, and they 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: also studied Saul Alinsky, a disciple of Machiavelli, with his 43 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: ruthless devotion to ends justifying the means. When it comes 44 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 2: to securing power, the all you need is love. Hippie 45 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: Revolution brought us Ivy League credentialed I don't say educated, 46 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: just credentialed elite to talitarians now attacking the foundation of 47 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: America limited decentralized government and Adam Smith capitalism based on 48 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 2: free choice, not mandates, free enterprise, and free but fair markets. 49 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: It's that's where tariffs come in. We'll talk about that 50 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: some other time. We've seen this before, free love and 51 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 2: the demand for free stuff giving way to dictatorship. Ancient 52 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 2: Rome had what we'd now call proletarian rebellions. They led 53 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: to military strong men and then emperors. The French Revolution 54 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: started out with ordinary people demanding from aristocrats a place 55 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: a seat in the National Assembly. The revolutionaries were called 56 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: leftists because they took seats on the left side of 57 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: the assembly and they addressed each other as citizen, which 58 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: is ironic Brian since the last thing today's American leftists 59 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: want to call their supporters is citizen. Today's leftists support 60 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: non citizens who broke our laws getting here. They demand 61 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: welfare and even voting rights In at least fourteen jurisdictions 62 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: and counting. They demand welfare and even voting rights. And 63 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: the highest title for today's leftists is not citizen. It's victim, 64 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: as in I'm a victim of racism, sexism, transphobia, and 65 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: common sense. The French revolutionaries try to replace Christianity with 66 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: what they called a goddess of reason. It was an 67 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: actual person. They found a beautiful woman and she became 68 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: the goddess of reason. Then they replaced reason with the 69 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 2: reign of terror. Following the Romans, the French next made 70 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: Napoleon Bonaparte their emperor. His invasions cost Europe at least 71 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: four million lives, but Napoleon was a peace nick compared 72 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: with Joseph Stalin. His Soviet workers Paradise killed at least 73 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: seven million people, some say triple that number. As with Napoleon's, 74 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: Stalin did not immediately seize power when Russia rose up 75 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: against the Czar. The Russian Revolution's first leader was a 76 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 2: guy named Alexander Kerensky. If you don't remember him, folks, 77 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: it's because Kerensky's Russian Republic lasted just three months. Communist 78 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 2: revolutionaries then chased Kerensky to Paris, then New York, and 79 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: ultimately to our West coast. The conservative Hoover Institution, which 80 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 2: promotes liberty through limited government. Kerensky's successor of Vladimir Lenin, 81 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: did not promote limited government, and Lenin's successor, Joseph Stalin, 82 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: did not promote any limits at all on his own power. Now, Brian, 83 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 2: there may be a few people listening who are now yelling, 84 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: what about Donald Trump? Does he promote, does he tolerate? 85 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: And he limits to his own power? The answer is yes. 86 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: Put aside for the moment, t Trump's bombing of Sas 87 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: state sponsored narco terrorist drug boats were all eager to 88 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: hear in a few minutes from Congressman Thomas Massey and 89 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: Judge Neapolitano about that. I would only note for now 90 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: that whether it's Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary pirates, Reagan 91 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: invading Grenada, or Trump destroying Iran's nuclear program, we've had 92 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: lots of debates about when and how Congress ought to 93 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 2: weigh in, But Democrats did not complain when Barack Obama's 94 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 2: drones killed hundreds of foreigners without authorization, including women and 95 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: children at weddings, even American citizens. Let's also consider a 96 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 2: different but typical outrage from Joe Biden. The auto pen 97 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: completely ignored the Supreme Court's ruling against the quote forgiveness 98 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: of taxpayer funded student loans, and Democrats defended him to 99 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: the hilt. By contrast, Donald Trump has submitted to courts everywhere, 100 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 2: from fat Alvin Braggs New York and Fawnie Willis's Atlanta 101 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: straight to the US Supreme Court. It's true Donald Trump 102 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: does not preach peace and love for the tens of 103 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: millions of illegal migrants that Joe Biden and his borders 104 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: are Kamala Harris invited to invade the United States. But again, 105 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: Trump is submitting his deportation plans to the courts, where 106 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: he wins some and he loses some. Meantime, Trump has 107 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: achieved peace through strength, as Ronald Reagan did peace from 108 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 2: Africa to Cambodia, if we can keep it. Now he's 109 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 2: trying to broke her peace in Ukraine, which never would 110 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: have been invaded by Putin had Trump remained president in 111 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Trump is the real peace president, most 112 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: important because he persuades nations to trade peacefully and fairly 113 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: with the promise of economic growth. That's why is Arab 114 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: neighbors are now willing to live peaceably. Growth. The promise 115 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: of growth for all is Trump's gift to the world 116 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: this holiday season, and God willing, even Trump's enemies will 117 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: realize that constitutional republics, not socialistic tankerships, are the world's 118 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: true blessing. What do you say, pal Well? 119 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: First off, I must note that free love at least 120 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: didn't involve the American taxpayer dollars. Second, I don't know. 121 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: I don't know parents and taxpayers they paid taxes to 122 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 2: they supported those kids, and some of them still support 123 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: those kids. 124 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: No, I understand that component of it. I'm just saying, 125 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: at least didn't cost us money to engage in free love, unless, 126 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: of course, you look to the medical ramifications of free 127 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: love and the fact that the American taxpayer dollars might 128 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: have to end up paying for that, which in and 129 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: of itself is a problem. But going back to my 130 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,239 Speaker 1: original thought, along those lines, you mentioned the various religions. 131 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: People are celebrating this time of year. Yes, and we 132 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: all tend to embrace, at least from religious perspective, regardless 133 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: of which religion you are idea that we need to 134 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: engage in compassion and to help our brother man those 135 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: are truly in need. But what bothers me, over and 136 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: over and over again, the Marxists, the Leftists, the communists, 137 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: the socialists all endeavor to use our respective faiths against us. Well, 138 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: this is the Christian Judeo Christian ethic. You're supposed to 139 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: help people in an effort to support some bloated government 140 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: plan that we all find out is replete with fraud, waste, 141 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: and abuse, which they don't seem to care about. That's 142 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: the part that always angers me. And I've been on 143 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 1: record many times saying if you're in a church or 144 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: a synagogue or a mosque and someone in front of 145 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: the room is saying you need to support some big 146 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: blow to government program because Jesus or Mohammad or I 147 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: don't know, it doesn't matter what would do that. That 148 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: is your religious obligation. It belongs to the individual, not 149 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: the state, and you're offloading the personal responsibility you have 150 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: as a member of that particular religion to do it yourself. 151 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't substitute your personal obligation. And yet that feeling 152 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: of the need to help is used so often against 153 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: people of faith to promote some bloated government program that 154 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: really doesn't accomplish the goal of helping people who are 155 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: truly in need. 156 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 2: Well, we discussed this last week. Jesus was not about governments, right, 157 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: and we began today talking about these major religions, not 158 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: all of them in the world. They all began in love, 159 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 2: but at some points in their history they had followers 160 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 2: embracing terror. God loved his chosen people of Israel, but 161 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: those sanctioned people asked for a king. They said, we 162 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 2: want a king, like all the other nations. And inevitably, 163 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 2: as with all other nations, kings proved to be power 164 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: hungry and cruel. Just think of David and Bathsheba and 165 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:48,239 Speaker 2: Bathsheba's wrong husband Uriah. Jesus loved all people and refused 166 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 2: Satan's offer to rule over them on earth. He did 167 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: not want to be a king. But many other rulers, 168 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 2: secular and ecclesiastical, have imposed tyranny in the name of Jesus. 169 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: You're right and we discussed several months ago. Now whether 170 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 2: Islam requires violent jihad the sort that al Qaeda demanded. 171 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: Listeners can hear that discussion about history.
