Speaker 1: Up next Luna Talks with Anna Paulina. Luna part of
Speaker 1: the Gang, which on September eleven, two one is Longest
Speaker 1: Ragical secured out the deadliest terrorist attack in human history,
Speaker 1: murdering nearly three thousand people on US soil. America was
Speaker 1: changed forever twenty years later to the week. It's our
Speaker 1: duty to remember what happened on that faithful day, to
Speaker 1: keep the stories of heroes and loved ones alive. We
Speaker 1: must never forget. This is Luna Talks with Anna Paulina.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this episode of Luna Talks with me,
Speaker 1: your host on a Paulina Luna. As you know, over
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, I've really been covering some
Speaker 1: trending news stories and I'm not gonna jip you guys
Speaker 1: out of that today, but I am going to be
Speaker 1: focusing a large portion of this episode on nine eleven, because,
Speaker 1: as you know, we are transitioning into now not just
Speaker 1: a holiday weekend like the others, but a remembrance weekend
Speaker 1: for those that died during the terrorist attacks of nine
Speaker 1: a love in and also to for a large portion
Speaker 1: of our population and my generation that has really been
Speaker 1: impacted by those events. So before we get into some
Speaker 1: of the crazy news cycle stories that have come out,
Speaker 1: which is honestly, they're gonna be bizarre when I read
Speaker 1: them to you, Um, I really did want to just
Speaker 1: focus on that. You know, there's not one person that
Speaker 1: I've yet to meet that doesn't know where they were
Speaker 1: at on nine eleven from my generation, and I realized
Speaker 1: that it's not just me, but also the older generation
Speaker 1: as well. In fact, when I joined the military, a
Speaker 1: majority of us joined and enlisted because we remember exactly
Speaker 1: what happened on nine eleven. We remember where we are at,
Speaker 1: who we're with, what we were wearing. But also too,
Speaker 1: I remember talking to some of my sergeants or even
Speaker 1: some of my officers, and I remember them saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: I went to the recruiter's office literally the day that
Speaker 1: the World Trade Centers fell, and I enlisted right then
Speaker 1: and there. And in Andy's case, who's my husband, some
Speaker 1: of his teammates had actually already been in the military,
Speaker 1: and the day after the Twin Towers fell, they were
Speaker 1: deployed to the Middle East. And for a majority of us,
Speaker 1: especially these last couple of weeks, it's been I think
Speaker 1: a new chapter in our country's history where you had
Speaker 1: a twenty year war that I grew up in, that
Speaker 1: those before me grew up in, and then we realized
Speaker 1: at a certain point that it was too much and
Speaker 1: too long and we should no longer be there. And
Speaker 1: I think that was a point when I saw, you know,
Speaker 1: my little neighbor kid that I had watched growing up
Speaker 1: from the time he was a little boy, endlest and
Speaker 1: realized that he was deploying to the Middle East. And
Speaker 1: at that point, I think the entire nation is like,
Speaker 1: why why are we still here? And of course now
Speaker 1: with everything that's happened in Afghanistan, some are still questioning,
Speaker 1: you know, why did we go there in the first place.
Speaker 1: But the point of what I'm trying to say is
Speaker 1: that the day after nine eleven, if you guys all remember,
Speaker 1: everyone was showing how much support, so much support for
Speaker 1: the families, so much incredible support for the fire departments,
Speaker 1: the f D n Y. I think that's when it
Speaker 1: became basically famous, and then also to so much support
Speaker 1: for all the law enforcement officers and the emergency crews
Speaker 1: that were there working countless hours through the night, digging
Speaker 1: through all of that rubble to basically rescue or to
Speaker 1: find loved ones that had basically been missing after the
Speaker 1: fall of the World Trade Centers. And I remember that,
Speaker 1: I remember seeing that. I remember the celebrity telefund raisers
Speaker 1: on TV where they are basically going and raising money
Speaker 1: for all of the families of those that had perished,
Speaker 1: and basically the families of the emergency workers and the
Speaker 1: fire department and the law enforcement that had died in
Speaker 1: the collapse of the towers. And then you saw these
Speaker 1: figures really arise and I think guide America at a
Speaker 1: time that we really needed it, one of them being
Speaker 1: primarily Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the mayor the America's mayor of
Speaker 1: New York City. Also to Donald Trump, who at the
Speaker 1: time was not a president, but he was a businessman
Speaker 1: of Ogol that went there to show his support for
Speaker 1: his city. These were all very very impactful times in
Speaker 1: our country's history. And now when we merged to seeing
Speaker 1: the political climate today and when we see those statements
Speaker 1: by you know, Illa on Omar saying some people did something,
Speaker 1: when she's talking about, you know, the terrorist attack of
Speaker 1: nine eleven, and you realize that the divide that has
Speaker 1: happened in this country, how do you fix it, And
Speaker 1: I tell everyone, you know, if you can this weekend,
Speaker 1: take some time with your friends and family and turn
Speaker 1: off the TV, disconnect from social media, from the internet,
Speaker 1: and actually sit there and talk about it and keep
Speaker 1: those memories alive, because the day after nine eleven, for
Speaker 1: as awful as it was, the level of patriotism and
Speaker 1: unified feeling that we had in this country is something
Speaker 1: that I hope we can eventually one day get back to.
Speaker 1: I just don't know what if it's ever going to
Speaker 1: happen in my lifetime, with the way that the media
Speaker 1: is going. Nine even happened, and there were a lot
Speaker 1: of people that were forever changed from that day forward.
Speaker 1: I know that my family directly had ties to that.
Speaker 1: My husband's father had worked in the city. He was
Speaker 1: there when the World Trade centers fell, and he describes
Speaker 1: what it was like to actually leave that city and
Speaker 1: how he literally saw a woman get trampled and he
Speaker 1: tried help her, but he couldn't because there was a
Speaker 1: sea of people just stampeding running away from the crashing towers.
Speaker 1: And shortly thereafter, I mean, he didn't go back into
Speaker 1: the city anymore after that, and so many people within
Speaker 1: my husband's community, which was in New Jersey. So many
Speaker 1: of them lost family members or friends that were working
Speaker 1: in the World Trade Center. So it didn't just impact
Speaker 1: a small portion of this country. There were many people
Speaker 1: or people that knew people that had a loved one
Speaker 1: or front in the World Trade Centers that day. And
Speaker 1: as we later on found out, that wasn't the only incident.
Speaker 1: They attacked the Pentagon and then there was the failed
Speaker 1: attempt at United Flight where citizen and stood up. They
Speaker 1: took down the terrorists and ultimately it ended up costing
Speaker 1: their lives, but they did the right thing and they
Speaker 1: saved Americans in the process. So when you see all
Speaker 1: this craziness on television and you hear this just nonsense
Speaker 1: about defunding the police, I mean, realize what that's impacting.
Speaker 1: And when you see that, just remember that there were
Speaker 1: good people that died on this day. They died because
Speaker 1: they loved this country. They died because they wanted to
Speaker 1: help others, help other Americans. And when push comes to shove,
Speaker 1: regardless of our political ideologies, for the most of Americans,
Speaker 1: we are going to have each other's back. It's like
Speaker 1: we can pick on one another, but we won't let
Speaker 1: anyone else pick on us, and I think that that's
Speaker 1: really kind of the sibling rivalry on steroids that we're
Speaker 1: witnessing currently in this country. Now, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: say that everyone has the best intentions, but i'd say
Speaker 1: for nine percent of Americans, I think that, you know,
Speaker 1: if the media was cleared up, there's a lot that
Speaker 1: we could clear amongst ourselves and not so much would
Speaker 1: be lost in translation. So I wanted to give you
Speaker 1: guys just that quick positive intro before we get into
Speaker 1: some of these wacko headlines that I've seen over the
Speaker 1: last couple of days. Sit tight, We'll be right back
Speaker 1: after this quick break. Al right. So I promised some
Speaker 1: bizarre headlines, and I think that you're going to hear
Speaker 1: this and probably be like, yeah, she was right. And
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not someone that tends to exaggerate. So the
Speaker 1: first headline, obviously I had covered abortion in the last episode.
Speaker 1: This headline. When I saw it, I thought that it
Speaker 1: was something out of the Babylon be I thought it
Speaker 1: was fake, and then I realized to my whore that
Speaker 1: it is actually true. And this is in regards to
Speaker 1: the Texas Heartbeat bill that basically the Church of Satan,
Speaker 1: So the Satanic Temple claims that the Texas Heartbeat Bill
Speaker 1: restricts religious liberty and deeps abortion a child sacrifice ritual
Speaker 1: that is not something that's a conspiracy theory. That is
Speaker 1: legitimately a headline. It was posted by Freedom Fights online.
Speaker 1: But not just freedom Fights, okay, this was also a
Speaker 1: headline that was on bright bart and many different news sources.
Speaker 1: And the minute that this hit I think the internet,
Speaker 1: many people you could just tell not only did it
Speaker 1: make them sick to their stomach, but then it also
Speaker 1: really freaked them out. And I know that some people
Speaker 1: like Halloween. I am not one of them. Anything that
Speaker 1: you know this includes, I think it is just totally creepy.
Speaker 1: But then it goes further into state on their website,
Speaker 1: what is a Satanic abortion ritual? And I'm going to
Speaker 1: read this to you because this is legitimately the argument
Speaker 1: that's being put forth in Texas as to why they
Speaker 1: are saying that texas Is heartbeat bill is apparently quite
Speaker 1: unquote unconstitutional. So on the website, and this is actually
Speaker 1: posted on Jack posso Bics Twitter, it says the Satanic
Speaker 1: abortion ritual provides spiritual comfort and affirms bodily autonomy, self worth,
Speaker 1: and freedom from coercive forces. With the affirmation of T
Speaker 1: s T seven tenants. I have no idea what that is.
Speaker 1: The ritual is not intended to convince a person to
Speaker 1: have an abortion. Instead, it sanctifies the abortion process by
Speaker 1: installing confidence and protecting bodily rights when undergoing the safe
Speaker 1: and scientific procedure. So they are making a case saying
Speaker 1: that it is totally ritual sacrifice that's done scientifically and
Speaker 1: someone's constitutional rights. And then they go forward and literally
Speaker 1: give out a play by play how they're supposed to
Speaker 1: go forward with this ritual for surgical abortions, and it's
Speaker 1: completely I mean, guys, I can't even read through this
Speaker 1: without getting goose bumps. It's completely disgusting. It is gross
Speaker 1: that this is where society has really come to that
Speaker 1: they are allowing child sacrifices what they're basically talking about
Speaker 1: as if it's supposed to be common practice. So just
Speaker 1: read what they write. So, prior to receiving an aesthetic
Speaker 1: or sedation, look at your reflection to be reminded of
Speaker 1: your personhood and your responsibility to yourself. Focus on your intent,
Speaker 1: take deep breath, and make yourself comfortable. When you're ready,
Speaker 1: say the third tenant and the fifth tenant allowed. You
Speaker 1: may now undergo surgery. After the surgery is complete. Minded
Speaker 1: the surgery, guys, they're talking about abortion. After this surgery
Speaker 1: is complete and any aesthetic has worn off, returned to
Speaker 1: your reflection and recite your personal affirmation. Feel doubts dissipating,
Speaker 1: and your confidence growing as you have just undertaken a
Speaker 1: decision that affirms your autonomy and free will. The religious
Speaker 1: abortion ritual is now complete. You can't make this up, guys,
Speaker 1: even if I tried. It is that disturbing, It is
Speaker 1: that gross. And the fact is is that if you
Speaker 1: find yourself ever aligning with the Church of Saying on anything,
Speaker 1: I think that you seriously need to do some self reflection.
Speaker 1: This the fact that it is now a common topic
Speaker 1: of discussion and now you have it infiltrated. I think
Speaker 1: laws that should be a nice state of this on
Speaker 1: the last episode should be scientific based. But that they
Speaker 1: are citing this type of gross sacrifice is just something
Speaker 1: that we should consider outlawing altogether in the United States.
Speaker 1: And it wouldn't be a sacrifice if you guys actually
Speaker 1: read the definition of what sacrifice means. According to the
Speaker 1: Oxford Languages Dictionary, it means an act of slaughtering an
Speaker 1: animal or person or surrending a possession as an offering
Speaker 1: to God or to a divine and supernatural figure, or
Speaker 1: in the verb tense, offer or kill as religious sacrifice.
Speaker 1: So literally, they're saying that this is life, which is
Speaker 1: what every single Christian and every single person with the
Speaker 1: brain says, is that any child within the womb constitutes life.
Speaker 1: Hence why Texas is doing the Heartbeat bill, and yet
Speaker 1: they are saying that that is their constitutional right to kill,
Speaker 1: which is in this case murdering for a sacrifice due
Speaker 1: to their disgusting and bizarre religion. At a certain point, though,
Speaker 1: I do think that the American people, and then honestly
Speaker 1: the people of Texas need to come out against us, because,
Speaker 1: again going back to how just bizarre this is, you
Speaker 1: have a religion that's literally glorifying the murder of children
Speaker 1: and saying very very flagrantly that they can do it
Speaker 1: and that they don't care, that that's their religious freedom
Speaker 1: and opportunity to be able to do so. However, you
Speaker 1: look at the context of which they've literally admitted in
Speaker 1: their own statements that this is life and essentially it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be legal and sanctioned killing, which is completely wrong.
Speaker 1: That's not really what I believe the Founders had in
Speaker 1: mind when they said religious freedom. And when you look
Speaker 1: at some of the darker energies there, I think that
Speaker 1: it's just as Christians, especially, you really need to take
Speaker 1: a stand against us. Make it known, Freak your friends out,
Speaker 1: show them the headlines, because honestly, this is just one
Speaker 1: of the most bizarre headlines I've actually been able to
Speaker 1: come across over the last i'd say, probably a year
Speaker 1: and a half. It's that weird. So to segue into
Speaker 1: really Texas again though, and what they announced just on
Speaker 1: September seven, which is pretty incredible, This just happened. Texas
Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott has signed s B one into law,
Speaker 1: which Democrats fled the state in order to try to stop.
Speaker 1: For those wondering what SB one is, that is the
Speaker 1: Election Integrity Law. Okay, that is something that is going
Speaker 1: to make sure that only American citizens that are registered
Speaker 1: to vote can cast ballots. And that is not racist.
Speaker 1: It's not discriminatory, as you know the left likes to say.
Speaker 1: It is strictly by the rules voting, which is something
Speaker 1: that the rest of the country should be considering doing
Speaker 1: because of the fact that we need to make sure
Speaker 1: if we want to hold our constitutional republic, if we
Speaker 1: want to ensure that we stay a strong country, we
Speaker 1: have to have secure elections. And I think that that
Speaker 1: comes at incredible timing. I can tell you that to
Speaker 1: election cycle, which I will give you guys some little
Speaker 1: easter egg knowledge nuggets here right after this next commercial break.
Speaker 1: But this next election cycle is going to be something
Speaker 1: that we're There are some people that are saying we
Speaker 1: were going to pick up fifty five Republican seats. That
Speaker 1: has literally been an estimated number, but it is going
Speaker 1: to stop a lot of the I think legislative terrorism
Speaker 1: that we're seeing out of Washington, d C. And I
Speaker 1: mean that the rules that they are passing, the amount
Speaker 1: of inflation that this country is saying, and the amount
Speaker 1: of deficit that we are currently in is going to
Speaker 1: destroy the American dollar. So I want to get back
Speaker 1: with that information nugget for you right after this quick break.
Speaker 1: Al right, So, as promised the information nuggets. I do
Speaker 1: not think it is by mistake that Governor Abbott signed
Speaker 1: the bill that he did. And I do know for
Speaker 1: a fact that in addition to Texas, Florida has three
Speaker 1: seats in particular for the congressional cycle in two that
Speaker 1: will be targeted to take back the House. And I
Speaker 1: can also tell you that if just in Texas and
Speaker 1: Florida alone, if we can do our jobs and we
Speaker 1: can take these seats back, we will take back not
Speaker 1: just the House, but essentially take back control of the
Speaker 1: greatest world superpower that this world has ever seen. It
Speaker 1: is very important, especially because of everything happening with Biden.
Speaker 1: And I mean I've told I've said this before, but
Speaker 1: just wait until China attacks Taiwan. I think that that's
Speaker 1: going to happen, and the entire country is essentially walking
Speaker 1: on eggshells. We do not want to get into another
Speaker 1: global war, especially not one with China currently because we
Speaker 1: have weak and awful leadership. But I can tell you
Speaker 1: that it is very important. I think it's important for
Speaker 1: generations to come that we take back the House, that
Speaker 1: we take back the Senate. We have herschel Walker, who
Speaker 1: I've talked about on previous episodes, but he recently just
Speaker 1: announced that he's actually running for Senate in Georgia, and
Speaker 1: he was absolutely the candidate that they should have run.
Speaker 1: He's incredible, he's dynamic, he's relatable, he has an incredible story,
Speaker 1: he's a football legend, he has a ton of name
Speaker 1: I d and honestly, he has the type of humble
Speaker 1: personality that the American people want. No one ever wants
Speaker 1: someone who's not had life experience, who's basically had everything
Speaker 1: handed to them, passing legislation and bills in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: And no one wants someone who's engaged in insider trading.
Speaker 1: That's just the facts. The American people don't want that.
Speaker 1: So I can tell you that he's an incredible candidate,
Speaker 1: and I do think that we will take back the House,
Speaker 1: and I do believe that we will take back the Senate.
Speaker 1: And if that happens, and we have these bills take
Speaker 1: place like sp One and we have Florida here where
Speaker 1: Governor de Santis has done an incredible job to actually
Speaker 1: make our own elections secure. You know, in the past,
Speaker 1: we were always so great. We had a huge issue
Speaker 1: with Broward County, but to Santis clean that right up.
Speaker 1: Because of that, we have some of the best elections.
Speaker 1: But I can tell you that if that happens, then
Speaker 1: we will for sure see President Trump run for office again.
Speaker 1: And I know so many people, especially people that you
Speaker 1: know aren't necessarily following politics. Seven so many people have
Speaker 1: been wondering is he going to do it again? And
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you, I absolutely, without a doubt,
Speaker 1: believe that this man is going to run for office again.
Speaker 1: And I also believe that it is definitely part of
Speaker 1: our responsibility to ensure that that happens. And that means
Speaker 1: that it is an all hands on deck effort for
Speaker 1: the next election cycle, meaning that if you are out
Speaker 1: of state, that means that you can honestly do phone
Speaker 1: baking for one of your favorite candidates in different states.
Speaker 1: That means you guys can send money, That means you
Speaker 1: guys can do door knocking, and even in California, I mean,
Speaker 1: we have Larry Elder who literally is probably going to
Speaker 1: be taking over Gavin Newsom. He's going to do it. Guys,
Speaker 1: we need people to the polls. I can tell you
Speaker 1: that they're definitely afraid of him because he's been getting
Speaker 1: so much bad press. It's like every headline from the
Speaker 1: mainstream media about Larry Elders negative press That's how you
Speaker 1: know that they're intimidated by him, and that's how you
Speaker 1: know that he nearly might stand the chance of actually
Speaker 1: flipping California read which I have not seen since I
Speaker 1: was a child. Okay, I remember I grew up in California.
Speaker 1: I was around during one of the last Republican governors.
Speaker 1: And oh boy, how has it changed over the last
Speaker 1: twenty and thirty years. It is nowhere near what it
Speaker 1: used to be. And it's honestly a shame because California
Speaker 1: has some amazing people, but those laws they crushed small
Speaker 1: business during the COVID lockdowns. They destroyed permanently people's families,
Speaker 1: people's homes, people's livelihoods, and their businesses. So we have
Speaker 1: a chance. It's all positive. It's all good from here.
Speaker 1: I hope you guys have an incredible weekend. Remember what
Speaker 1: I said. If you can take some minutes with your
Speaker 1: families this weekend and plugged from everything, tell them the
Speaker 1: stories of where you were at on nine eleven. Keep
Speaker 1: those stories alive and make sure that you share them
Speaker 1: because really, at the end of the day, our lives
Speaker 1: are so short, and those are the memories that we
Speaker 1: want to keep alive. Especially within our families, so have
Speaker 1: an incredible weekend. I hope to talk to you guys
Speaker 1: soon and make sure you guys come back this Sunday
Speaker 1: for our fresh new episode of Luna Talks and we'll
Speaker 1: see you then. Before we go, I want to thank
