1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: The Pope has come out and this is many other

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, other face have have have pandered and moved

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: this way, and the Pope has said that priests can

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: now bless same sex unions. He says, quote requests should

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: not keywords, should not be subject to moral analysis.

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: All right, let's break that down, and this is coming.

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to read this to you from the Associated

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: Press because I think it's important that you understand just

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: how crazy this world has gone. And I'm talking about

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: those are supposed to be speaking truth in the world

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: and not cow telling. To the pressure of the radical,

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: extreme left, the Pope is now approved blessings for same

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: sex couples that must not resemble marriage. Must not resemble marriage.

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: If you're blessing it, it's going to be the same thing.

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: Pope Francis formally a peruve letting Catholic priests bless same

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: sex couples. The Vatican announce them Monday, a radical shift

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: and policy that's aimed at making the church quote more

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: inclusive while mainting it strict ban on gay marriage.

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: Well, if you're going to have a strict ban.

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: On gay marriage, then doing this is not maintaining a

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: strict ban on gay marriage.

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 2: What you're saying is we're softening now.

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: The problem that I have here, and the part that

24
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: makes me so frustrated, is the fact that we and

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: this has been happening in churches, whether you're Evangelical, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian,

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: people have been trying to grab attendance. As attendance numbers

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: in church have gone down. You can argue over what

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: is made faith start to die out in this country

29
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: and also around the world. I would argue that faith

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: is actually dying out for the complete opposite reason of

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: what they think it is in the church. They think

32
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: it's because we become too right and wrong and too legalistic.

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: They think many in the church have argued that, well,

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: we're just we're not inclusive, and we're not happy enough,

35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,919
Speaker 1: and we're not kind enough, and we're not supportive enough

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: of other people's ideals and lifestyles. And as culture changes,

37
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: so therefore we need to become more inclusive more. We

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: need to be kinder to people that are living in sin. Now,

39
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: everyone's sins, right, I've sin of all sins are equal, right,

40
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: so bad or not bad, it doesn't people to how

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: we grade it on earth. Sins are sin. I've made

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: massive mistakes in my life. And if we're all being

43
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: intellectually honest, everyone that's listening right now, I think you

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: would agree the same way that we've made mistakes. But

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: what's happened in whether it's the Catholic Church, whether it

46
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: is in the Evangelical Church, Baptist Church, Methodists, a lot

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: of them, right, I'm not picking on one religion. I

48
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: want to make that clear, is that we've changed what

49
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: faith is now.

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: We've changed what church is now. It's now become a

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 2: numbers game.

52
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: The biggest pastors who are growing the fastest in this

53
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: country among all congregations, doesn't really matter which one it is.

54
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: They have one thing in common.

55
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: They're all about being funny and entertaining and preaching entertainment,

56
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: not offending people. Who knows they use the word offending right,

57
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: Not offending people. That's their main core thing. Let's don't

58
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: offend anybody. With actual gospel, we're going to be kum

59
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: ba ya because if we're kum bay ya, then there

60
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: is a genuine, authentic belief that if we are kum.

61
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: Bay yah, more people will show up next week.

62
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Look what's happened since that that doctrine has been accepted

63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: across multiple face. Look at all the churches that have

64
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: decided to go that route and and to and to

65
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: whether it's blessed same sex couples or performed same sex

66
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: marriages or whatever it may be, that they're standing and

67
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: changing because they're wanting to be quote more inclusive and

68
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: and and and and.

69
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: Kum bay yah. What's happened.

70
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: Religion has actually died off even more because what you're

71
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: doing is you're alienating your core base that actually wants

72
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: to be to go to a church that is actually

73
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: or to be under a priest or someone who is

74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: actually saying, yes, there is right and wrong. We have

75
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: this in the world. Too much of it right now.

76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: We have way too much of this right now. And

77
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: people want to go to a place where they're where

78
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: you can speak the truth. People want to go to

79
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: a place where you can be honest. People want to

80
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: go and sit with people that are going to tell

81
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: you the truth. And they want that. Okay, that's what

82
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: they want, folks. And this when you see the pope.

83
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: I want to be clear about this. I think there

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: are two catastrophic things that have happened with the Catholic church.

85
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: Number one, the fact that they still have not done

86
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: the right thing with the priests that have abused children.

87
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: They have still have priests that have abused children that

88
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: they have still protecting at this moment around the world.

89
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: They have moved around predators that they know are predators,

90
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: and they have done this because and they've not taken

91
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: care of the victims the way that they should have.

92
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: That's number one, and I think that's going to be

93
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: one of the biggest downfalls of Catholicism. But the second

94
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: one is is you have now a pope that is

95
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: no longer not a pope. He's a panderer. Pope Francis

96
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: is not a pope in the traditional sense. He's a panderer.

97
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: He's the pandering pope. When you formally approve what in

98
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Catholic priest bless same sex couples, you're.

99
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: Not a pope.

100
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: You're you're you're you're you're you're a pandering pope. You're

101
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: not a real leader, You're a follower. Now, the Vatican

102
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: statement had a lot of people that were excited about

103
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: this right, and then there were some that were even

104
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: mad about it. Some lgbt Q plus advocates warned it

105
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: quote underscores the church's ideas that gay couples remain inferior

106
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: to heterosexual partnerships. Right, So, even in the pandering from

107
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: Pope Francis, he still didn't win.

108
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: Everybody over. The left is still mad at him.

109
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: The lgbt q I A plus plus plus group, right

110
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: is is furious saying, oh, so you guys in the

111
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: Catholic Church think that gays remain inferior to heterosexuals, Right,

112
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: So they're not happy.

113
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: So did the pandering work? There? Is it going to

114
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: bring in a bunch more LGBTQIA people.

115
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I may be wrong, but I'm

116
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: pretty sure I'm right on this one.

117
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: And then what you.

118
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: Did is you actually alienated I think the core of

119
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: your base in the Catholic Church. These documents from the

120
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: Vatican's Doctrine Office elaborated on a letter that Francis sent

121
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: to two conservative cardinals that was published in October. In

122
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: the preliminary response, Francis suggested such blessings could be offered

123
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: under some circumstances if the blessings weren't confused with the

124
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: quote ritual of marriage. Well, what do you think the

125
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: blessing actually is. The new document repeats that, conditions that

126
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: condition and elaborates on it, reaffirming that marriage is a

127
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: lifelong union between a man and a woman. So you're

128
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: going to bless something that is not a union between

129
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: a man and a woman. That's pandering while saying that

130
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: that's separate from what you're now blessing, which is something

131
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: that is clearly not in the teaching of the Catholic faith.

132
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: Now, I want to be clear, I'm not Catholic.

133
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not, but I am using this moment as

134
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: a warning, and I want to be clear, especially as

135
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: we're going into of all seasons, the Christmas holidays. We

136
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: have got to stop worrying and churches and pastors have

137
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: to stop worrying about offending people that are sitting there

138
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: in the audience. And you need to be bold about

139
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: what the teachings are. You don't have to be mean.

140
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: You can be compassionate, you can be loving, you can

141
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: be kind, but it doesn't mean that you have to pander.

142
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: I mean, the.

143
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: Catholic Church is, in essence now a massive ship. The

144
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: Vatican is a massive ship that has purposely unscrewed their

145
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: rudder and is out to see and believes are still

146
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: going to be able to go on a straight line.

147
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: It's not going to work. The Catholic Church is the

148
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: biggest boat in the sea right now that has no

149
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: rudder and is going anywhere, just in circles and round

150
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: and round and round, and they think that they're actually

151
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: still on a straight line. This is insanity. This doesn't

152
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: make any sense life. Yet here we are having this

153
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: conversation where the Pope Francis comes down and says, yes,

154
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: yet again, we are going to do more harm. I

155
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: believe the Catholicism that and do it in a way

156
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: that says.

157
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, marriage is still between one man and woman.

158
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: But we we want to We need people coming so

159
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: badly and financially supporting the Catholic Church that what we're

160
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: going to do is say, will bless you, know, will

161
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: bless you if you are same sex, but just as

162
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: long as it's not called a marriage. Right, here's our caveat.

163
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: If you were in the Catholic Church, I would be

164
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: upset about this. If you're in the Catholic Church, I'd

165
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: be very very I would actually say I would be

166
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: angry about this. I would be asking more than I mean,

167
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: how many times. If you're in the Catholic Church, are

168
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: you going to look the other way before you demand

169
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: that there be a change? That's that's That's another question

170
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: that I that I do want to ask of people

171
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: that are listening, especially if you were Catholic, how long

172
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: are you going to sit there before you say enough,

173
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: stop destroying what brought me here in the first place,

174
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: because you're never going to be able to replace all

175
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: of the people that show up on Sunday mornings with

176
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: other people by pandering. Look at other face that have

177
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: tried to pander. It didn't work out well for them.

178
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: It never works out for them well for them, and

179
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: you want to know why because it's pandering and people

180
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: see through it. So then you get luke warm people

181
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: on both sides. And lukewarm people are not the people

182
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: that show up on a regular basis. Lukewarm people aren't

183
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: the people that get involved in Catholic missions and Catholic charities,

184
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: right Those are not the people that are going to

185
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: be your next leaders. So then you're just going to

186
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: wither away as a very important group of people. But

187
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: if you are Catholic tonight, I would hope that you're

188
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: upset over this because this is absolutely advocating and wanting

189
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: to have it both ways. One other point I'll make

190
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: real quick, but one other thing I will say is,

191
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: if you want to know what's happening in the world,

192
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: in the demise of the world, this is just another

193
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: significant example of it. If you want to know how

194
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: we got to a part where we have people in

195
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: Congress that defend the terrorists that behead babies, and you

196
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: want to know what got us to us, it's the

197
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: fact that we've lost faith in religion in this country.

198
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: We used to have a moral compass, folks. We don't anymore.

199
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: When we don't, what happens is the aocs of the

200
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: world show up and they gain power and they have

201
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: an audience because at the end of the day, people

202
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: are looking for something bigger than themselves. Usually at some

203
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: point in their life, they're looking for something bigger than themselves.

204
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: They're looking for answers to tough questions. They'll find it somewhere,

205
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: and when you water down your faith, they're going to

206
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: go somewhere else. And that's why we're in the scenario

207
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: and the situation that we're in right now. We've had

208
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: some moments this past year that have been encouraging. I

209
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: go back to bud Light. You look at what happened

210
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: to bud Light, and bud Light sales will never be

211
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: what they were before. I truly believe that, because there

212
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: was a line there that was crossed that was just

213
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: too far for many people to reach. It was just

214
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: too much. It was like, I can't do that. I'm sorry,

215
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: I just can't. I can't go there. I'll never drink

216
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: a bud Light again unless I'm literally about to die

217
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: and that's the only liquid there is. And even then

218
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: I'd wait a little bit longer and get closer to

219
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: death before I drink it. And then eventually I would

220
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: say screw it, I'm going to but I would never

221
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: purposely buy it or drink it ever again. It was

222
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: a game the other night with one of my dear

223
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: friends and he was like, hey, you want to be

224
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: I was like, sure, just as long as it's not

225
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: a bud Light. I'd rather have water and I'm in

226
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: it when I said it, and he laughed because he

227
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: knew I wasn't joking.

228
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: Don't bring me that.

229
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: There are encouraging moments and things that have happened this

230
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: past year that gives me excitement that maybe we're turning

231
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: the corner and people are willing to fight back. And

232
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: as soon as I get excited than the pope I

233
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: mean in this way approving the blacking for same sex couples,

234
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: that then they do something like this. The Catholic Church,

235
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: by the way, and this is something I keep trying

236
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: to explain to people, doesn't exist without the people.

237
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: All you have to do if you're a member of

238
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: the Catholic.

239
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: Faith is say we refuse to comply with this, and

240
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: we refuse to agree with it. As a group, you're

241
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: in charge. The pope is not. He's supposed to serve you.

242
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: It's the problem that we have the same problem we

243
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: have in politics today.

244
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 2: We think these people.

245
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: Get into power, then they forget that we are the

246
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: ones that can decide to change. We're the ones that

247
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: can say no to these people. That we don't have

248
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: dictators and tyrants. We're not supposed to. But when we

249
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: keep bowing down to them and not standing up to them,

250
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: the pendulum keeps going more and more.

251
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: To the extreme.

252
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: There's two things that catastrophically have happened to faith. One,

253
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: many churches are less than half of the attendance. They

254
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: were pre COVID because people didn't go to church for

255
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: well over a year, and it absolutely decimated faith, not

256
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: being able to go and worship. That's number one. And

257
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: number two is the pandering these pastors. Now they're obsessed

258
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: with social media and obsessed with being famous on social

259
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: media and are obsessed with you know, people loving them

260
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: and not offending people.

261
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 2: That's also a massive problem.

262
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: It's a massive, massive, massive issue, and now we're witnessing

263
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: it with the Pope himself, which is insane. For ten years,

264
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

265
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: And when I say the only one, I mean it.

266
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: They're the only one. They make a huge difference every

267
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: time that you pay your bill because they actually get

268
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: back to conservative causes and organizations to help you stand

269
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: up for what you believe in while you're paying a

270
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: bill you're going to have anyways. This is the part

271
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: that I love about Patriot Mobile. They're making a difference

272
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: every time you pay your bill, every time you make

273
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: a foot phone call, every time that you send a

274
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: text message. Patriot Mobile actually gives money back to protect

275
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: First and Second Amendment rights, to protect the lives of

276
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: unborn children. And that's what they're doing right now, is

277
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: they celebrate their tenth anniversary. If you switch right now

278
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: to Patriot Mobile, they are going to give a donation

279
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: to help protect life and to help mothers choose life

280
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,359
Speaker 1: to an organization that does everything they can to protect

281
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: the lives of unborn children. Then every month when you

282
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: pay your bill, they're going to continue to support the

283
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: causes that I just mentioned. And this is exactly why

284
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: you need to make the switch. If you're tired of

285
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: woke companies, switch your cell phone to Patriot Mobile. Whether

286
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: you are a business, a small business, or just a family,

287
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: you can switch and they make switching easy. They have

288
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: a one hundred percent US based call center making switching

289
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: extremely easy.

290
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: You're going to get.

291
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Nationwide coverage, unlimited talking text, and usually save real money

292
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: on your bill. Nine seven to two Patriot. It's nine

293
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot nine seven to two Patriot. Or

294
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: go online to Patriot Mobile dot com slash ben that's

295
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash ben or nine seven to

296
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: two Patriot. I do think we need to have a

297
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: bigger conversation about morals and Pope France is formally approving

298
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: letting Catholic priests blessed same sex couples, that that announce

299
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: is a radical agenda item, and I want.

300
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: To make it clear I think it's wrong.

301
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: And I think there's a problem right now with all face,

302
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: and that is that there's way too much pandering going on.

303
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: There's entirely too much pandering. And everybody right now just

304
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: wants to make sure that they, you know, don't offend people.

305
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: And how many people are sitting in the pews, and

306
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: how do we get more people in the idea that

307
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: you get more by by offending no one, then more

308
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: people are going to show up is a recipe for

309
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: disaster of any faith. It's the pandering that I have

310
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: a part with a problem with it is this.

311
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: I mean the Catholic Church.

312
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: We're now at the point where the Catholic Church is

313
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: out there saying you can formally let Catholic priests bless

314
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: same sex marriage. Like if you want to know it,

315
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: when the Catholic Church started to die publicly, this is

316
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: when it started to die publicly. Now, I would argue

317
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: it's already started to die internally when they refuse to

318
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: do the right thing, when they had their priests abusing children.

319
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: But publicly this is.

320
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: When I do think it happened, where it's like they're

321
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: now just openly saying like, hey, whatever we think might

322
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: get more people to attend than so be it. And

323
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: that is the death of any faith when the church

324
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: is officially blessing something. And this is where I would

325
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: give you massive pushback. Okay, there's a difference between loving

326
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: people and then blessing people.

327
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: Right, Blessing means that you are advocating, supporting.

328
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to the definition here, right of blessing someone

329
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: God's favor and protection, favor. So what does the word

330
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: favor mean? Favor means support in religion. Literally, a blessing

331
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: is the is is blessing something with grace, holiness, spiritual redemption,

332
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: or divine will grace said before after mill is another

333
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: example right of an example a prayer asking for God's

334
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: favor and protection. A priest gave a blessing as a

335
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: ship was launched, Like, blessing means advocacy for support for

336
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: under you know, fond thoughts of I'm blessing this marriage. Right,

337
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: I'm asking for your your your daughter's hand, and I'm

338
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: asking for your blessing in that the fact that the

339
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: pope is saying and this is where I'm going to

340
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: get angry or animated, is maybe a better way.

341
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: Of saying it.

342
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: You cannot tell me that in the same sentence, right,

343
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: this is pandering.

344
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: He's not a pope, he's a panderer.

345
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: When you approve blessings for same sex couples in the

346
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: words that I just used, I.

347
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 2: Didn't come up with them.

348
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: I didn't come up with a definition of blessing, the

349
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: meaning of blessing, and then say as long as it

350
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: doesn't resemble same sex marriage, it is absolutely that you're

351
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: blessing the same sex couple for being a same sex couple.

352
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: You're going as a same sex couple and saying please

353
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: bless this, and they're saying okay to it.

354
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 2: The Pope is now approved that.

355
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: So you can't have it both ways and say, well,

356
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: he's just I'm fine with blessing a person individually, but

357
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: when you start asking me to bless the sin, that's

358
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: the point where you say no. Like if you come

359
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: to me as an individual and you you were sinning right,

360
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: and you say I want you to pray for me,

361
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: and I want you to to to bless me. But

362
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: if I walk in I'm like, hey, man, I'm I'm

363
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: operating a sex trafficking ring and I want you to

364
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: bless it, I.

365
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: Would hope the Pope would say no.

366
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: If I walked in said I I'm operating a drug cartel,

367
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: I would hope that the Pope would say no to

368
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: blessing my drug cartel.

369
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: If I came in and said.

370
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm the founder and creator of one of the

371
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: biggest porn sites in the world, and I want you

372
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: to bless my business, which is the pornography business, I

373
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: would hope that the Pope would say no. Like like,

374
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: the idea that it should be blessed is is total

375
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: lunacy on a level that that I've never seen.

376
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: Well, I take that back.

377
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: The leadership of the Catholic Church has still has men

378
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: that have that they have moved around, that they have

379
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: not fired, who have been accused of abusing sexually children

380
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: in the church. Let's not forget that, I said the leadership.

381
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: But when your leaders are now saying we're going to

382
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: approve blessings for same sex couples and then immediately say

383
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: but they must not resemble marriage, what else does it resemble?

384
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: This is an actual headline from CNN, and and this

385
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: is the reason why the mainstream media is is nothing

386
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: but scumbags. They are communists, they are Marxists, they are socialists.

387
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: They are working for the United States government in every

388
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: capacity with it. And the Democratic Party, which I will

389
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: say for again on this show, the Democratic Party is dead.

390
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: They are masquerading as Democrats and they are really socialists, communists,

391
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: and Marxists and and I say all three because some

392
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: of them affiliate within the Democratic Party in different ways,

393
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: right Like they're they're they're this big cess pool of

394
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: disaster and and and and taking away your rights.

395
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: The Democratic Party is dead.

396
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: But what's worse than the Democratic Party is the media

397
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: that goes out there and puts out their propaganda.

398
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: No different than what you see in North Korea, no different.

399
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: Than what you read and places like Venezuela or Cuba

400
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: or Russia. This is a real headline from NBC News.

401
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: Somebody sent this to me and I actually didn't believe it.

402
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: I clicked on the link because I couldn't believe it.

403
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: If a buddy of mine sent to is like, can

404
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: you believe this blank? And I was like, I clicked

405
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: on it. It was like, no way. This is the

406
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: headline from NBC News. Senate staffer alleged by conservative outlets

407
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: to have had sex in a.

408
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 2: Hearing room is no longer employed. That is the NBC

409
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 2: News headline. Are you kidding me?

410
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: Let's just break down the headline here from these scumbags

411
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: at NBC News.

412
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: First of all, it's not alleged.

413
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: There's pictures in a video of the sex tape of

414
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: them having gay sex in the Senate room. That's number one,

415
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: So it's not alleged, okay, by conservative outlets. It's also

416
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: not alleged by conservative outlets. You guys are reporting on it,

417
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: and so is everybody else. Number two, the staffer's been fired,

418
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: so it's not alleged sex. It's like they've admitted it

419
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: was sex in this room, in this hearing room. And

420
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: the idea that he's no longer employed because conservative outlets

421
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: have alleged it is also a lie. Conservative news outlets

422
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: alleged at the ad to send her Ben cardon. A Democrat, Maryland,

423
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: appeared in a leaked video showing men having sex in

424
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: a Senate hearing room.

425
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: Again, this was not.

426
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: Some conservative conspiracy theory, Like we weren't filming gay sex

427
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: in a Senate hearing room. It was Democrats, funny enough,

428
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: on the Democratic side of the Senate hearing room who

429
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: were banging in the Senate hearing room. There's no conservative

430
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: that came up with this idea. I don't know who

431
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 1: Amanda Turkle is, but she sucks at her job. In

432
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: Frank thorpe V so at his job. These are the

433
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: NBC news reports. It took two of them to write

434
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: a story that's a lie about something that actually happened.

435
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: That is real.

436
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: Quote Center Ben Cardon's office has parted ways with a stafford.

437
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: Well he was fired. They didn't part ways, so call

438
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: a fire a fire. He was fired from what we've

439
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: been told, with a staffer who conservative news outlets. So

440
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: they're trying to act like this is some conspiracy theory.

441
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: Who conservative news outlets alleged was shown in a leaked

442
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: video having sex in a Senate hearing room. I'm pretty

443
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: sure that staffers already admitted on social media that it

444
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: was him, and and then said anybody that attacks him

445
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: is is like gay phobia or or or or gay

446
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: lesbian transitor at LGBTQ phobia. Like did he that these

447
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: that you're gay shaming him or something. Dude, you're the

448
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: one that put the like to let the tape get

449
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: out there. This dude, whatever the hell his name is,

450
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: is no longer employed by the US Senate. The Maryland

451
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: Democrats office send in a statement to NBC News on Saturday,

452
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: which was first obtained by Politico.

453
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: Let's stop there.

454
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: Politico is not hardcore conservative news. The idea that Politico

455
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: is hardcore conservative news is also a lie. So they're

456
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: lying to you from the for the first two and

457
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: a half paragraphs at NBC News quote, we will have

458
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: no further comment on this personnel matter. Okay, so they

459
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: fired a dude that had sex in a committee room.

460
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: On Friday, the Daily Caller conservative news outlet published what

461
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: is said to what it said was video showing a

462
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: congressional staffer having sex with an unknown man in the

463
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: Senate hearing room. It added that the video was shared

464
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: in a private group for gay men in politics. Conservative

465
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: outlets then alleged that the legislative aid to Cardon was

466
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: one of the men in the video. Well, if it

467
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: wasn't him, then I'm pretty sure the Democratic Center Ben

468
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: Cardon would would have not fired the person if it wasn't.

469
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: Actually that person in the.

470
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: Video that apparently you can clearly see in the video

471
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: is the guy that works for Center Ben Cardon.

472
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: But again, this is NBC News now, right, So.

473
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: Let's let's all let's all play this up to be

474
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: conservative conspiracy theory.

475
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 2: When when two dudes are banging.

476
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: In a Senate room on the Democratic side, working for

477
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: a Democratic senator, NBC News has not confirmed the authenticity.

478
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 2: Of the video or the identities of the participants.

479
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so at least NBC News is willing to admit, hey,

480
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: we suck at our job. Like, that's maybe the most

481
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: truthful thing. Do not laugh at that, misproducer. You know,

482
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: that's an accurate statement. This is the one time that

483
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: NBC News didn't lie to you when they said NBC

484
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: News has not confirmed the authenticity of the video or

485
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: the of the participants. Good, you're admitting, hey, we suck

486
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: at our job. We don't investigate anything we don't like,

487
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: we didn't we're not trying to confirm that this actually happened,

488
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: and we're not.

489
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: Going to identify it. We're not going to confirm the

490
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: dentities of the participants.

491
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: So we're just going to tell you, this is somehow

492
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: the conservative's fault that two gay staffers were hanging in

493
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: a Senate room on the desk where the public usually goes,

494
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: and that somehow the conservative's fault that this happened on

495
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: Friday night. The man in question put up a post

496
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: on LinkedIn saying while he had shown quote poor judgment

497
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: in the past, he would never disrespect my workplace.

498
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: Well you did. You were been over a desk literally.

499
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how that's.

500
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Not disrespecting literally your workplace.

501
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: Quote.

502
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: This has been a difficult time for me, as I

503
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: have been attacked for who I love to pursue a

504
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: political agenda. Who you love like, I don't care who

505
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: you love. I'm not attacking you because who you love.

506
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm attacking you because you you put out a video

507
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: of you having sex in a Senate chamber, in a

508
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: Senate hearing room. This has been a difficult time for me,

509
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: I would hope so. By the way, quote, while some

510
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: of my actions in the past have shown poor judgment,

511
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: I love my job, would never disrespect my workplace well,

512
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: and that's obviously your liar. Any attempts to characterize my

513
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: actions otherwise are fabricated and I will be exploring what

514
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: legal options are available to me in these matters. Okay, well,

515
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: if it's not you, then you should have said it's

516
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: not you, and your employers shouldn't have fired you if

517
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't you. The dude did not return requests for

518
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: additional comments. Cardon's office initially put out a statement Friday

519
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: that said, we have seen media reports from right wing media.

520
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: As this is a personnel matter and under review, we

521
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: will not be commenting further at this time. Representative Max Miller, Republican,

522
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: Ohio also identified the man of conservative outlets of Saffer

523
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: who shouted Free Palestine at him in the halls of

524
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: Congress while he was speaking with an NBC News reporter.

525
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: This dude denied the accusations in his LinkedIn post on Friday.

526
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: Quote asked for the accusations regarding Congressman Max Miller, I

527
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: have never seen the congressman, had no opportunity or cause

528
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: to yell or confront HEMI wrote. NBC News was not

529
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: able to identify the staffer the interaction. So again, at

530
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: least NBC News told you the news the story at

531
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: least true Two things truthfully in this story. Amanda Turcle

532
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: is admitting in Frank Thorpe is admitting that they suck

533
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: at their job twice in this article.

534
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: Like, we don't actually do any reporting here.

535
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: We just write up like stories that somehow make people

536
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: think that, somehow this may not have happened, and this

537
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: is a Republican and or a conservative conspiracy. Now, let's

538
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: just if you google right now, sex and Senate hearing.

539
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: Let me tell you some of the other headlines. All right,

540
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: Politico playbook, Senate staff for out after sex tape scandal,

541
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: Senate a CNN out of job after purporting sex tape

542
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: apparently filmed, and Senate hearing Room The Guardian, Senate staff

543
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: for lo job after allegedly having sex and hearing room.

544
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: Then you get the NBC News.

545
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: Senate staff are alleged by conservative outlets who have had sex,

546
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: and hearing room is no longer employed. So somehow the

547
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: Republican's fault. The two guys that are liberal working for

548
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: a Democrat were banging.

549
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: Got it.

550
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: The Senate sex tape Everything we know Business Insider New

551
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: York Post Senate stafford allegedly filmed public sex and Congress

552
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: ousted from Ben Cardon's office.

553
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: It leads the New York Post. God bless them, they

554
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: get it right.

555
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: NBC four Washington d C Send Stafford, alleged by conservative

556
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: outlets who have had sex in the hearing room, is

557
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: no longer employed. So NBC, like across the board, local

558
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: and national, sticking with the same headline that somehow this

559
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: may not have happened and what we and may not

560
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: have even been a thing because it's Republicans that are

561
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: the ones that somehow are the bad guys here. Washington

562
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: Examiner leaked explicit video appears the show two.

563
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: Men having sex the Senate hearing room.

564
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: Like if you've seen the stills which I've seen of this,

565
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: like there's really no arguing over this, Like it's just

566
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: not right. It's like there's there's really no arguing over it.

567
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: And that's the reason why the dude was fired. Like

568
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: they're like, this is obviously you having sex in this

569
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: hearing room, and that's frowned upon. So we're we're probably

570
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna probably say no to that, right like,

571
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: and you're now fired. But what we will do is

572
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: we'll defend you and tell everybody that that's not really

573
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: your fault. You were having sex in the Senate hearing room. No,

574
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: it's what we'll do is we'll say it's the Republican's

575
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: fault because they're the ones that commented on it, and

576
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: somehow that means that they're evil. This is what we

577
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: are up against every single day. And I tell you

578
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: this is another perfect example of do not read every

579
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: do not believe everything that you read, because this and

580
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: again you now know the facts, and then then you

581
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: read the headline, and then you read the story and you.

582
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: Realize just how egregious it is.

583
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: We live in a world right now where we're up

584
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: is down and down is up, and left is right

585
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: and right is left. I'll give you another example of

586
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: the of the insane world that we live in. Boston

587
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: Mayor Michelle Wu celebrated breaking down barriers.

588
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: With a no white holiday party. This is not a joke.

589
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: The Boston Mayor, Michelle Wu, proudly posted a photo from

590
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: her no Whites allowed elected of elected of.

591
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: Color holiday party amid.

592
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: Backlash over the exclusionary event.

593
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: Which is clearly racist.

594
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 1: Woo, the city's first Asian American mayor, posted an image

595
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: to her Instagram account on Friday showing a group of

596
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: smiling colleagues at the dinner party where no white people

597
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: were allowed or invited. What's even funnier is if you

598
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: dig into this at all, you would find out that

599
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: Wu married a white dude. The white dude's not seeing

600
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: the picture now. I want to know if he got

601
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: out of the picture for the picture, and then the

602
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: white dude, because he was married to her, was able

603
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: to get in the in the at least get the

604
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: free dinner.

605
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, but no whites were allowed.

606
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: Wu's husband was either hiding under the table or in

607
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: the closet, and we're not pictured in the no whites

608
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: allowed dinner.

609
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: That's not racist at all.

610
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: There's nothing that says inclusion like excluding people from a dinner, right,

611
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: Can I get an amen to that? That's who we're

612
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: electing in this country right now. I'm telling you, if

613
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: you want to know why Tonald Trump so popular, it

614
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: is because Donald Trump has had enough, just like I've

615
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: had enough.

616
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: I'm no longer afraid to offend people.

617
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: I don't care if speaking truth offends you, Okay, I

618
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: sincerely don't care.

619
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: And the fact that we're living in a world.

620
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: Now where we have mayors of major cities like Boston

621
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: saying I'm having a Christmas party and white people can't come.

622
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,280
