[00:00:13] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West.

[00:00:18] You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:00:56] Live and on your radio, ladies and gentlemen, Sam Bushman, hard-hitting talk straight ahead at your fingertips.

[00:01:04] This is the broadcast for December 27th in the year of our Lord, 2024.

[00:01:10] This is our one of two in the goal always to protect life, liberty, and property, to promote God, family, and country through Sony Radio in the traditions of our founding fathers.

[00:01:20] Yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen, we reject revolution unless it's a Jesus revolution.

[00:01:24] Then we're in because we follow the Prince of Peace.

[00:01:27] We believe the checks and balances brilliantly put in place by our founding fathers.

[00:01:30] What are the peaceful, restorative solutions we still have at our fingertips?

[00:01:34] And it is a freedom-loving, fantastic, faith-filled Friday.

[00:01:38] We're taking America back, one heart, one mind issue at a time.

[00:01:41] And we've got Dr. Scott Bradley in the house, well-known.

[00:01:44] He's the author of the book and DVD lecture series to preserve the nation in the traditions of our founding fathers, freedomrisingson.com.

[00:01:53] And that's also where you can find the weekly webinars.

[00:01:56] Sign up and take part today.

[00:01:58] Weekly Q&A webinars on the Constitution every Thursday night, 7 p.m. Mountain Time, 9 Eastern with Dr. Scott Bradley.

[00:02:06] He had one last night.

[00:02:07] Welcome to the broadcast, sir.

[00:02:08] How'd it go?

[00:02:10] Well, yeah, it went great.

[00:02:12] We had a little bit of technical problem at the end.

[00:02:14] I don't know what's going on.

[00:02:15] It seems like there's gremlins that are always trying to reduce the opportunity to get the word out.

[00:02:22] We had a couple of blank spots for about 12 seconds each.

[00:02:25] So, you know, I don't want to emphasize the negative particularly, but we had many more questions than I could possibly get to.

[00:02:35] We left a lot on the table.

[00:02:36] Let's put it that way.

[00:02:37] There's a lot of things that are deep and vexing, if you will.

[00:02:44] And some of them, you know, we've talked about them on your program.

[00:02:48] So there's things on people's minds.

[00:02:51] I mean, some people are actually listening to the news, I think, or maybe the, I don't know, got their ear to the ground or something when it's coming to what's coming up on us now.

[00:03:02] You know, and they're saying, what the heck?

[00:03:04] And that's to put it mildly.

[00:03:08] Let's put it that way.

[00:03:10] And we always leave things on the table because there's so much to talk about.

[00:03:13] There's never enough time or whatever and all that.

[00:03:16] I get it.

[00:03:16] But at the same time, a lot of information gets imparted during these weekly webinars.

[00:03:22] How long are they, about an hour and a half?

[00:03:25] Well, I schedule them for an hour.

[00:03:27] I usually take an hour and 15, hour and 20.

[00:03:30] You know, I go into overtime.

[00:03:31] It's just my nature, I guess.

[00:03:33] I like the long-form answers, but I'm limited by BitChute to 15 minutes per answer.

[00:03:44] We turn each question into an individual discrete video.

[00:03:50] So this is after we're done.

[00:03:52] And then we post the videos on our BitChute channel and our Rumble channel.

[00:03:57] And so what happens is BitChute won't let me post anything longer than 15 minutes.

[00:04:06] And so we have to edit anything down to 15 minutes.

[00:04:10] What won't let you pass that?

[00:04:11] Say again?

[00:04:12] What won't let you be more than 15 minutes?

[00:04:15] BitChute.

[00:04:16] BitChute.

[00:04:18] You've got to just switch to Rumble.

[00:04:20] I'm on Rumble, too.

[00:04:22] They're on both of them.

[00:04:23] But I'll tell you, the popularity of BitChute, at least in my case, is much, much higher.

[00:04:31] Probably 10, 20 times higher in terms of access than it is on Rumble.

[00:04:38] But we do post them at both locations.

[00:04:43] And then we kind of let nature take its course on any of those things.

[00:04:48] Whoever wants to go on either one is fine.

[00:04:51] But Rumble doesn't seem to get nearly as much traffic.

[00:04:55] Now, I've got to tell you, we've talked about this before.

[00:04:57] I feel like you've said it's shadow banning, where we had hundreds of hits on given ones

[00:05:04] and very quickly after they were posted.

[00:05:07] And now, poof, gone.

[00:05:10] Everything's just kind of truncated at a very low view rate.

[00:05:15] And I just don't know exactly how it happens.

[00:05:18] It's like, you know, even the ones that had high hit rates have been cut way back.

[00:05:25] Yeah, because what happens is shadow banning not only makes sure that your whole message doesn't go to your complete list,

[00:05:31] it also ends up restricting the growing potential of your, you know, whatever you're distributing,

[00:05:38] the shadow banning, because not enough people see it.

[00:05:40] So it's harder to share.

[00:05:41] Less people can share.

[00:05:43] Less people can.

[00:05:43] Okay.

[00:05:44] And so it has this continued reducing effect on your accounts to the point where your account almost becomes worthless.

[00:05:52] Because then people are included in certain lists, certain weeks.

[00:05:56] So let's just say that I'm on your list.

[00:05:57] If you're shadow banned, I only get your stuff every third time or every sixth time or whatever the randomization is in this thing.

[00:06:04] And so I don't really get it all the time.

[00:06:05] And so it's kind of out of sight, out of mind.

[00:06:07] Then when I get it, I try to share it.

[00:06:08] Then somebody else can't get it or whatever.

[00:06:10] And all I'm telling you is that it fractionalizes your audience.

[00:06:14] It has this dividing and eventually dropping of the broadcast effect because you say,

[00:06:18] I just don't like this random whatever or I'm not included or how did I miss that?

[00:06:23] And it just gets to where it's unreliable.

[00:06:25] And anything unreliable and untrustworthy, you eventually jettison.

[00:06:28] They know that.

[00:06:29] They're doing it on purpose.

[00:06:31] Well, that's not really encouraging news.

[00:06:34] But that nevertheless seems like what's happening.

[00:06:38] It is interesting, though.

[00:06:40] And I find this with stuff we talk about, too, oftentimes on the radio.

[00:06:46] You know, the day or two, three afterwards, suddenly, oh, my goodness, there's some big networks that are picking it up.

[00:06:53] You know?

[00:06:53] Yes, they are.

[00:06:54] And they're going with the story.

[00:06:55] They use almost the same exact wordage.

[00:06:59] Yes, they do.

[00:07:00] And that's how we catch them on it.

[00:07:01] We know they do it.

[00:07:02] What they usually do, though, is they fail to take you over the finish line.

[00:07:05] So what they'll do is they'll drop our solution or they'll drop our whatever.

[00:07:09] Or they'll come up with the same, you know, problem that we highlight.

[00:07:13] But then what they'll do is they'll put in a solution that will never work.

[00:07:16] Or oftentimes, they leave you wanting and hanging for reality and solutions like we provide, though, doctor.

[00:07:23] They don't put things in the constitutional context or whatever.

[00:07:28] They usually leave – oftentimes, they'll leave a key component out.

[00:07:32] It reminds me how the Bible's gone through a lot of its iterations.

[00:07:35] And a lot of it has just been defanged in many ways.

[00:07:38] You read something and you can't quite get it or it's not quite there.

[00:07:40] It's because they've tampered with it.

[00:07:42] And I'm not downing the Bible.

[00:07:43] I'm just making a point that, you know, you look at different Bibles.

[00:07:46] They have different focuses and different things.

[00:07:48] It's because everybody has their own manipulated interpretation, some of them genuine possibly,

[00:07:53] some of them just inadvertent errors.

[00:07:54] But many of them wicked intend to defang or to take out the power and the strength thereof.

[00:07:59] And so oftentimes, what they'll do is they'll parrot our words but with a little slight twist that leaves the audience wanting as well, doctor.

[00:08:08] Well, it's true.

[00:08:09] And in fact, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams in their reconciliation letters, which if you haven't read them, people ought to.

[00:08:19] This is very insightful into some of the greatest minds that, you know, have existed, particularly in the freedom context.

[00:08:28] But anyway, they talked about the fact that oftentimes, well, they call it priestcrafts.

[00:08:35] I mean, there would be a spin that would be put on some biblical doctrine based upon what the particular, you know, sect wished it to have.

[00:08:48] And so they felt like very often the things that were being pronounced across the pulpit oftentimes had kind of a cultural undertone, if you will,

[00:09:03] Yeah, kind of like the philosophies of men mingled with Scripture, that kind of stuff, you know.

[00:09:08] Exactly.

[00:09:08] And by the way, just as a little side note on that, I may have mentioned this before, but Jefferson's family, even, you know, to his very day of death, never knew that he did this.

[00:09:22] It was something they discovered after he had passed away.

[00:09:26] Every night he read, he had created a little book, and it was a book of the New Testament saying,

[00:09:33] of the Savior, Jesus Christ, in the original languages.

[00:09:37] He had them in parallel columns.

[00:09:40] And so if it was in Aramaic or Greek or, you know, Hebrew, whatever, and he read the words of the Savior, and the Savior only.

[00:09:48] He didn't want to mix and match any other, you know, sectarian doctrines with those things.

[00:09:55] There's a problem with what you're saying, Doctor, is it's blowing up the lie that he was a deist.

[00:10:01] Well, that's a problem for some people, but I don't expect we're going to complain about that.

[00:10:06] Oh, it's not a problem here, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:10:08] I'm just making a point.

[00:10:09] That's the slight twists, for example, that I'll give you a deal.

[00:10:12] You know, you want to believe that somehow, hey, you know, Tom was with Sally Hemming, and then Tom was, you know, a deist.

[00:10:18] And, I mean, these people were just nothing but a bunch of perverts, and they downed women and slaves and hated everybody, and they weren't real Christians for sure.

[00:10:25] And these manipulated lies then, you know, make you believe these guys are relics of the past.

[00:10:32] We're not worthy of focus and stuff.

[00:10:34] It's absolutely a lie.

[00:10:35] And I bring it up because, folks, we've got to really double down and understand this.

[00:10:40] We'll talk about that.

[00:10:41] We've got a lot more coming up.

[00:12:27] Former Sheriff Richard Mack recounts in his book The Proper Role of Law Enforcement,

[00:12:32] how he came to realize while working as a beat cop how wrong the all-too-common orientation of police officers is

[00:13:30] Hard-hitting talk always at your fingertips.

[00:13:32] And Dr. Scott Bradley is with me.

[00:13:34] FreedomSrisingSun.com is website.

[00:13:36] The weekly Q&As and the webinars.

[00:13:39] Every Thursday night at 7 p.m., go to FreedomSrisingSun.com, get signed up, become part of the webinars.

[00:13:44] They're usually just over an hour, but they break down all kinds of constitutional realities and things of importance.

[00:13:50] Dr. Bradley, before we leave this topic, though, people can go to your website and sign up.

[00:13:54] FreedomSrisingSun.com.

[00:13:55] They can have access to the weekly Q&As and webinars on Thursday evening, 7 p.m. Mountain Time, 9 Eastern.

[00:14:02] But lay out the channels.

[00:14:04] Where do people go to find the channels?

[00:14:05] Okay.

[00:14:06] If you want to go to BitChute, which seems to be the most popular, when you go to BitChute.com,

[00:14:11] and then up at the top in the center, it says, you know, what are you going to search on?

[00:14:16] Well, you search on the channel.

[00:14:18] My channel is Freedom's Call.

[00:14:21] No spaces, no apostrophe.

[00:14:23] Freedom's Call.

[00:14:24] And it'll bring up all of the – we've only got about 600, 700 videos on there.

[00:14:30] The most recent ones will be the ones at the top of the feed you get.

[00:14:34] But if you want to go to Rumble, it's Freedom's Call, 1787.

[00:14:39] Before you leave BitChute, though, you've got to spell BitChute, because it's not spelled the way you would think it would be, is it?

[00:14:44] B-I-T-C-H-U-T-E.

[00:14:48] Right.

[00:14:48] That's not what you would normally put in, would it be?

[00:14:53] Well, they could spell it BitChute, as in they're shooting a firearm.

[00:14:57] Right.

[00:14:58] B-I-T-C-H-U-T-E.com.

[00:15:03] Anyway, I just want people to know that.

[00:15:04] Go ahead, now Rumble.

[00:15:05] You've got to search on the channel, though.

[00:15:08] Freedom's Call.

[00:15:08] Freedom's Call.

[00:15:09] And on Rumble, you go to Rumble, and then it's Freedom's Call, 1787.

[00:15:14] So you can find them that way, and they'll be the most recent one comes up first.

[00:15:18] And so you'll be able to see that we only had five questions.

[00:15:22] Well, I only answered five questions last night.

[00:15:24] I had a whole bunch left on the table, but I only answered five last night.

[00:15:30] Which five did you answer real quick?

[00:15:31] Let people kind of know what they are.

[00:15:32] That's worth it.

[00:15:33] Well, these are kind of, some of them have come up on yours.

[00:15:38] So there's an effort by some prominent attorneys out of Columbia and Yale to try and have Congress

[00:15:49] block the election of Trump and declare Kamala the president.

[00:15:52] They're using as the basis of this a similar approach that was attempted or sought for in 2020,

[00:16:00] but they want to use the 14th Amendment, Section 3.

[00:16:04] This all came out in the answer as the excuse.

[00:16:07] And we hope we thoroughly debunked the probability or possibility of that happening.

[00:16:13] But there are some very stupid people, in my opinion, that have sought to make that a prominent thing.

[00:16:20] It was published in The Hill, which gets, it's got a pretty wide readership.

[00:16:26] It talks about, you know, what's happening in Congress and stuff.

[00:16:28] So a lot of congressional people read it.

[00:16:32] And they're trying to make a very unsound approach popular and using the insurrectionist concept.

[00:16:40] So, I mean, I don't know as I need to run down every problem as detailed as I just did.

[00:16:44] But there was a question that came up about the Congregional Budget Continuing Resolution fiasco that happened just a week ago.

[00:16:54] So, and then the end of the Ukraine-Russian war and what that will take.

[00:17:00] And can we put much stock in the fact that Trump's going to, you know, figure out a way to pull a plug very quickly?

[00:17:07] The Panama Canal, Canada, and Greenland have all come up because of Trump's comments about basically, you know, reacquiring the Panama Canal.

[00:17:21] I'm using euphemistic terms on this, of course.

[00:17:24] And then he's thrown Canada and Greenland into the mix.

[00:17:27] And then the idea of Trump's use of executive orders to undo Biden's mess.

[00:17:34] So those are the ones that I got to, but there's probably double that or triple that that were left on the table.

[00:17:42] So there's just, you know, people, whatever comes to mind is sometimes what gets thrown at us.

[00:17:52] So that's kind of the net of it from last night.

[00:17:56] It took me an hour and 15 minutes about.

[00:17:58] I did have a couple of just 12-second lapses of where Bitshoot just went plato on me.

[00:18:09] I don't understand that.

[00:18:09] Part of that's the internet.

[00:18:10] It's just too difficult to troubleshoot the problem, whether it was your connection, whether it was your viewers' connection, whether it was the Bitshoot servers or, you know, I mean, some of that stuff is just difficult to track down.

[00:18:20] If you have a lot of money and a lot of IT guys, you can work on it.

[00:18:22] But otherwise, it's just daunting.

[00:18:24] It's too, you know, you don't have access to the systems that you need to test it and everything else.

[00:18:27] We just have to live with some of those kind of things.

[00:18:29] And, you know, the sad part is we just don't trust our government.

[00:18:32] We don't trust the communist Chinese communications.

[00:18:34] And both of those seem to have back doors to access everything we do and everything else.

[00:18:38] And so, you know, there you have it.

[00:18:41] Well, it's frustrating, though.

[00:18:43] You know, my wife put out a less than perfect product.

[00:18:47] And, of course, I wonder if anything I put out is any close semblance to perfect.

[00:18:51] But she says, no, you've got to re-answer this question because, you know, there was a 12-second gap in it.

[00:18:58] And it's like, you know, it was live and on the air.

[00:19:02] I mean, it's kind of a high-wire act without a net.

[00:19:05] And so you get what you get, you know.

[00:19:08] And she said, well, people are not going to listen.

[00:19:10] So we have those kind of discussions when that kind of stuff happens.

[00:19:13] Well, and your wife has some valid points no matter how difficult it is.

[00:19:17] And, you know, that's the kind of deal.

[00:19:19] So it's just, all right, there you have it.

[00:19:21] I want to move to a couple of other topics.

[00:19:24] This one's interesting.

[00:19:24] St. Stephen's, or St. Stephen, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:19:28] They call it St. Stephen's Day.

[00:19:29] It's December the 26th, also called the Feast of St. Stephen.

[00:19:36] It's a Christian saint's day, if you will, to celebrate St. Stephen,

[00:19:41] the first Christian martyr for Jesus Christ.

[00:19:45] They say it's celebrated on the 26th of December.

[00:19:47] And anyway, I think that's a day that we ought to point out, though,

[00:19:50] when you, you know, stand for Christ like that, when he was stoned.

[00:19:53] And, you know, it really kind of sets the stage to kind of understand

[00:19:57] saints of God will be persecuted and prosecuted.

[00:20:01] And this lawfare is just the beginning of what they have intended for us.

[00:20:05] We will further more and more and more be in the target of these evil people

[00:20:10] because Satan just can't stand Christianity growing.

[00:20:12] A lot of people are starting to turn to prayer and turn to religion,

[00:20:15] and maybe not an organized religion oftentimes,

[00:20:18] but people are realizing that God matters.

[00:20:21] And the younger generations are turning off the media, turning off the TV,

[00:20:26] going away from a lot of this sexually charged, you know, entertainment stuff.

[00:20:31] They've had enough.

[00:20:32] And they're starting to, the pendulum is starting to swing back.

[00:20:35] And they don't know what to do with it.

[00:20:37] But I really wanted to kind of highlight and celebrate St. Stephen a little bit

[00:20:40] for his, you know, leadership and willingness to stand with Christ.

[00:20:44] Do you want to comment on that, doctor?

[00:20:46] Well, certainly there's much we can learn from Stephen.

[00:20:50] You know, go read it in Acts.

[00:20:52] You can take a look at that.

[00:20:53] And you see an individual that was zealous in his devotion to the Savior.

[00:21:01] You see how fearless he was in talking before the hierarchy in regards to the truths that he knew

[00:21:08] and how vehement and virulent the hatred was against him.

[00:21:14] And they took up stones.

[00:21:16] And, of course, Paul took care of the jackets while everybody was chucking rocks at him.

[00:21:20] And, but it's interesting that, but his presentation is so eloquent and powerful.

[00:21:28] And it appears to be, you know, something that, I mean, it just came by the power of the Spirit,

[00:21:32] an extemporaneous statement, if you will, about the magnificence of what he was preaching about.

[00:21:39] And as he fell, of course, he had a great theophany.

[00:21:42] And, you know, a theophany being a vision that he received.

[00:21:46] And he passed on.

[00:21:48] Now, of course, the reward that he went to, I'm pretty sure, is magnificent.

[00:21:52] But, but the fact is, we do need to be able to have at our fingertips or the tip of our tongue or whatever,

[00:22:02] the, the ability to present truth.

[00:22:06] And to do it fearlessly, to do it in a way that's brought together for people to collate and understand in their mind.

[00:22:16] I think he had far more converts in his death.

[00:22:19] Certainly the record of his death has brought people conversion over the centuries that,

[00:22:25] than he had certainly in his daily life when he was living.

[00:22:29] But he was, he was a very zealous, committed, devoted, passionate disciple of Christ.

[00:22:37] And, and I think we, there's a lot we can, we can learn or at least ponder and be led by the Spirit

[00:22:44] to come to understand how we might have more of that in our lives.

[00:22:49] Yes.

[00:22:50] And to me, it seems like this is an opportunity to kind of do your own gut check.

[00:22:55] Ladies and gentlemen, where do you stand?

[00:22:58] Are you willing to stand with Christ?

[00:23:02] You know, it's our prayer that you won't be asked to do that kind of stuff because it's tough.

[00:23:09] It's not pleasant.

[00:23:11] But at the same time, my question is this, do you have a strong testimony of Christ?

[00:23:15] And if you don't, I would urge you to read your Bible, to study the scriptures, to get on your knees

[00:23:23] and to learn about and study the life of Christ.

[00:23:26] The chosen, in my humble opinion, it's not perfect.

[00:23:29] It's just a man-made movie, but it really makes a lot of the characters, biblically speaking,

[00:23:34] come to life in some very meaningful, productive ways.

[00:23:37] And I submit that if you don't have a testimony of Christ, it's time to get one.

[00:23:41] And if you do have one, it's time to double down and strengthen that testimony,

[00:23:44] that commitment, that faith, that hope in Christ, the author of our liberty.

[00:23:48] Because you know what?

[00:23:49] Times are going to start getting tougher.

[00:23:50] And I have a feeling that Trump taking on these issues, right or wrong,

[00:23:55] as you may think Trump is on whatever topic under the sun,

[00:23:58] the fact is he's pushing for hardcore change.

[00:24:01] And you're seeing more and more between Barack Obama and Donald Trump,

[00:24:04] more and more of the polarization between red and blue at the simplest level,

[00:24:08] on down to conservative and liberal, whatever terms you want to use.

[00:24:12] It eventually becomes Christ versus Satan, right versus wrong, good versus evil.

[00:24:17] Where do you stand?

[00:24:18] And do you have the testimony and the faith and the hope to be one of the ten virgins

[00:24:23] that actually have lamp in their oil?

[00:24:24] Or oil in their lamp, I'm sorry.

[00:24:26] Oil in their lamps.

[00:24:27] That's kind of the question for you.

[00:24:28] Where do you stand?

[00:24:30] Anyway, time is running thin.

[00:24:34] Hang tight.

[00:26:00] American officials say they sought and received the retraction of an independent monitor's warning of imminent famine in North Gaza.

[00:26:08] The Famine System Network issued the warning this week.

[00:26:11] The new report had warned that starvation deaths in North Gaza could reach famine levels as soon as next month.

[00:26:18] It cited what it called Israel's near-total blockade of food and water.

[00:26:23] The U.S. ambassador to Israel, Jacob Loh, criticized the finding as inaccurate and irresponsible.

[00:26:29] The U.S. Agency for International Development, which funds the famine monitoring report, told the AP Loh had asked for and gotten the report's retraction.

[00:26:39] I'm Charles de Lutasma.

[00:26:40] A Chinese court has sentenced a man to death for killing 35 people last month by driving into a crowd, an attack that raised national concern about mass killings.

[00:26:49] The court concluded the man was venting anger because he was unhappy with a divorce settlement.

[00:27:00] New Hampshire Democratic Congresswoman Annie Custer is leaving Congress with the goal of opening doors for a younger generation in leadership.

[00:27:07] Custer told the Boston Globe in a report published Thursday about her decision not to seek re-election.

[00:27:11] Quote, I think there are colleagues, and some of whom are still very successful or very productive, but others who just stay forever.

[00:27:17] I'm trying to set a better example.

[00:27:19] Her decision not to seek re-election was made public in March as concerns mounted about President Biden's age and his own re-election bid.

[00:27:26] Custer said at the time she wasn't sure that Biden could beat President-elect Donald Trump.

[00:27:30] Despite Democrats' loss in the presidential election, Custer will be replaced by Democrat Maggie Goodlander in Congress.

[00:28:59] Why don't we say to the government writ large that they have to spend a little bit less?

[00:29:05] Anybody ever had less money this year than you had last?

[00:29:09] Anybody ever having a 1% pay cut?

[00:29:11] You deal with it.

[00:29:12] That's what government needs, a 1% pay cut.

[00:29:15] If you take a 1% pay cut across the board, you have more than enough money to actually pay for the disaster relief.

[00:29:22] But nobody's going to do that because they're fiscally irresponsible.

[00:29:25] Who are they?

[00:29:27] Republicans.

[00:29:28] Who are they?

[00:29:28] Democrats.

[00:29:29] Who are they?

[00:29:30] Virtually the whole body is careless and reckless with your money.

[00:29:35] So the money will not be offset by cuts anywhere.

[00:29:38] The money will be added to the debt, and there will be a day of reckoning.

[00:29:42] What's the day of reckoning?

[00:29:43] The day of reckoning may well be the collapse of the stock market.

[00:29:47] The day of reckoning may be the collapse of the dollar.

[00:29:49] When it comes, I can't tell you exactly, but I can tell you it has happened repeatedly in history when countries ruin their currency.

[00:29:58] Before the break, Sam brought up the Feast of Stephen and the martyrdom of Stephen.

[00:30:26] Perhaps as we move on to the next topic, I just might make a comment.

[00:30:32] I oftentimes, when we're visiting, talk about to go forward, we have to look back.

[00:30:41] And a lot of times we have, we can see the future by how things have gone.

[00:30:47] And people like Shakespeare and Patrick Henry talked about that in some of their eloquence.

[00:30:52] But at any rate, I just think to kind of put a period behind what Sam was talking about, we have to become more zealous and more, if you will, knowledgeable, more understanding and so on.

[00:31:07] But it struck me that most of history, being a prophet, was a very high-risk job.

[00:31:16] I mean, these guys did not bring popular statements to the forefront.

[00:31:21] They were many times killed.

[00:31:24] I mean, you know, sawn asunder or whatever.

[00:31:26] We could talk about all of the horrid deaths that virtually all of them, I mean, have experienced.

[00:31:32] And we're in a little different time for a period here, but I suspect that some of that high-risk stuff will likely reappear as we come into the end times,

[00:31:44] when people have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything, as the old saying goes.

[00:31:49] And this idea of being able to defend the truth and be confident in it, because sometimes there'll be very eloquent arguments made against it, at the very least.

[00:32:04] And there may be even some high-risk things that are faced by people ultimately and finally.

[00:32:09] So, you know, kind of putting oil in your lamp, if you will, so that you can have light to walk by.

[00:32:15] And not have to, I don't know, go by the faith or the testimony or the belief system or whatever of your forefathers.

[00:32:26] But gaining that in our own lives, I think, is a critical thing, particularly as we move forward in what I perceive will be probably a more challenging time than maybe has been in all of history.

[00:32:37] So, you know, fill the lamp, let's go forward in the light, rather than in fear and doubt and kind of fold under the pressure.

[00:32:46] Stephen, hit it.

[00:32:47] Amen.

[00:32:47] Double down and build your faith, your trust.

[00:32:51] Put your trust in Christ forever is what I would recommend you do.

[00:32:56] And, hey, the weekly webinars can help with that as you learn more about who we are and what we do.

[00:33:02] Our talk show hopefully promotes that.

[00:33:03] We don't want you to leave the broadcast all in fear and desperation and frustration.

[00:33:07] That's how a lot of these talk show hosts leave you.

[00:33:10] And we reject that.

[00:33:11] We want to focus on solutions.

[00:33:13] Freedomizingsun.com, libertyroundtable.com for our latest videos.

[00:33:17] I just did a video about this lady's free speech, and she basically used some phrases that the shooter used, and then they threw her in prison.

[00:33:23] And now, you know, hey, does she have her free speech rights?

[00:33:26] Is what she said appropriate?

[00:33:28] No, of course not.

[00:33:29] Does she have the right to say it?

[00:33:30] I think she does.

[00:33:31] Anyway, that's a big old video coming out right now.

[00:33:34] They're putting it up for me as we speak on libertyroundtable.com.

[00:33:37] So check out my video short series there.

[00:33:40] And St. Stephen's Day, what a celebration.

[00:33:43] What an opportunity to look towards one of the, in my opinion, fearless leaders in the Savior's time.

[00:33:49] And we need to have such guts in our own lives.

[00:33:53] It's time to cleanse the inner vessel.

[00:33:55] It's time to, you know, put your money where your mouth is in terms of putting the time into the Lord, making sure you have oil in your lamps, people.

[00:34:04] All right.

[00:34:06] I don't even know how to respond to this.

[00:34:07] But the headline says this, speaking of time.

[00:34:10] This time, vote deniers are on the left.

[00:34:15] New York Times even documenting this, Doctor.

[00:34:17] I find it funny.

[00:34:19] They attacked us for literally four plus years saying, oh my gosh, you guys are nutcase.

[00:34:23] Election deniers crazy as a loop.

[00:34:26] Now it's the left's turn.

[00:34:27] They want to overturn, as you pointed out just a few minutes ago, the elections.

[00:34:31] They want to go ahead and, you know, deny this and that.

[00:34:33] Josh Phillip, our buddy over at the Epoch Times, doing some shows right now saying, hey, are they literally going to shut down the inauguration and stop the transfer of power?

[00:34:42] Are they going to have Joe step down, put Kamala there, and then there's a challenge?

[00:34:48] What's going to happen?

[00:34:49] Everybody's speculating.

[00:34:50] Nobody knows.

[00:34:51] But, man, the left is coming unglued.

[00:34:54] We had a kind of a calm before the storm.

[00:34:56] I warned everybody that it was going to ratchet up.

[00:34:58] And you're starting to see as these people come back to life, now they're questioning the elections.

[00:35:04] They're questioning if the inauguration should even happen.

[00:35:07] They're questioning if they should run interference when Congress comes back in to say, hey, we're not going to codify the elections.

[00:35:14] And, wow, very strange turn of events when the shoe's on the other foot, Doctor.

[00:35:19] Well, and, you know, it's interesting to me that Hillary Clinton pulled a kind of a brief stunt about this in 2016.

[00:35:30] And then, of course, 2020, all of that brouhaha that's gone on, that's been the center of the news for the last four years.

[00:35:38] And now we have, I think they're editor-in-chief of some legal, one of the legal journals that are in both Yale and Columbia.

[00:35:52] And they're trying to play this nonsense, utter nonsense.

[00:35:56] I mean, where has been the indictment?

[00:35:58] Where has been the trial?

[00:35:59] Where has been the, you know, the due process of questioning and cross-examining and all that kind of stuff in the trial setting?

[00:36:08] I mean, when has been the conviction of the insurrection that they're trying to pull off or claim that Trump actually engaged in?

[00:36:16] And they're using the 14th Amendment, Section 3, to say, oh, oh, see, see, if you engaged in any insurrection, you cannot hold office.

[00:36:26] Well, this kind of stuff, it's, and you know what?

[00:36:32] They're going to say it's valid this time.

[00:36:35] And as you go, holy Hannah, okay, well, but that is a movement right now, and there are prominent people.

[00:36:41] And at first you kind of laugh at it and go, oh, my gosh, it's goofy.

[00:36:44] But these people have real power, real authority in there.

[00:36:47] They've shown themselves to absolutely drunkenly, drunk on power, drunkenly do whatever it takes to hold on and keep power.

[00:36:55] And they literally lied about Joe Biden's competence so they could control the government via puppet strings for four years.

[00:37:02] These people are not a joke, and they are to be taken seriously.

[00:37:06] I mean, you know, they used to be the stoners in the 60s and whatever else, and the hippies drop out and everything else.

[00:37:11] Then they basically, you know, took over the collegiate institutions and then took over government.

[00:37:16] And I mean, you're seeing this before your very eyes.

[00:37:18] These people are absolutely foaming at the mouth crazy.

[00:37:22] So this time voters are on the left that are vote.

[00:37:27] They call them vote deniers.

[00:37:28] I don't think they're vote deniers because we all agree elections take place.

[00:37:31] We just, you know, believe that there's problems at the elections.

[00:37:33] And now the Democrats are agreeing with us.

[00:37:36] Now, I find it ironic, but I also say, hey, if they claim there's election fraud, let them prove it.

[00:37:42] Let them go to the courts and find out the courts will shut you down and lie to you and deceive you.

[00:37:46] And then you'll get disenchanted with government as much as we are.

[00:37:50] But Josh Phillip even asks the question in his live broadcast called Crossroads over at the Epoch Times.

[00:37:56] The question is, could Trump's inauguration be blocked?

[00:38:01] And you kind of laugh and go, no, but it really could, doctor.

[00:38:05] It's something to really be aware of.

[00:38:06] Well, there's people that would if they could, you know, whether they'll be able to.

[00:38:11] Without question.

[00:38:12] You know, rally whatever is going to be necessary to do that.

[00:38:16] But the fact is there are people that would if they could.

[00:38:19] And, you know, there are people.

[00:38:20] And I find it very frustrating.

[00:38:23] I don't want to take it off on this tangent particularly.

[00:38:25] But I find it very frustrating that there are so many people that say, oh, if the military were just running things.

[00:38:31] People, the military.

[00:38:33] Oh, they're up there rock crazy.

[00:38:34] It's a cross section.

[00:38:35] Notaries are dangerous, buddy.

[00:38:36] Well, the founding fathers absolutely thought so.

[00:38:38] And the militaries are a cross section of American culture.

[00:38:43] And you've got, I mean, when I served, I was flabbergasted at how many were of a different political bent.

[00:38:53] Let's put it that way.

[00:38:54] They're all across the whole cross section.

[00:38:57] And the fact is that, I mean, you look at Hindman, Lieutenant Colonel Hindman, that was at the basis of a lot of the problems and the impeachment of Trump and everything like that.

[00:39:10] And now he holds a political office in his community.

[00:39:14] It's a councilman or something like that.

[00:39:17] But the point of the matter is that the founding fathers did not want a political solution based upon a military solution.

[00:39:27] And the civilian control of the military was absolutely essential to the whole American philosophy.

[00:39:35] Well, and that's why militias are so important because they were citizen driven, but they had a tie to the direct local government officials in many ways to prevent this kind of very military takeover.

[00:39:46] It's like, hey, you'll run against a big civilian camp.

[00:39:49] And you can say, well, the military is more powerful and more capable and everything.

[00:39:52] Yeah, but you still have a fight on your hands not worth having, right?

[00:39:56] You know what?

[00:39:56] If done right.

[00:39:57] And that was the deterrent.

[00:39:58] There are people that would literally, I mean, their intention is to disrupt the rhythm, if you will, of a society that has worked so well for the last 250 years.

[00:40:12] And if they can do that, we talk about it often how that's been the communist approach to things where they disrupt the society through all sorts of fracture points.

[00:40:24] You know, man against women and socioeconomic against socioeconomic, black against white, religion against religion.

[00:40:32] Until finally the society becomes non-functioning.

[00:40:38] And then they overthrow it and they replace it with their tyranny.

[00:40:42] So we've got to avoid these kind of things.

[00:40:44] The more we turn to Christ, the less that's going to happen.

[00:40:47] The less we turn to Christ, the more it's going to happen, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:40:50] I know that sounds like it's unrelated, but it has direct context and direct relationship.

[00:40:56] Hang tight.

[00:43:27] Continuing the Christmas tradition with Kenny G.

[00:43:30] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the broadcast.

[00:43:32] We're talking about time, and I'm telling you, time is running thin.

[00:43:36] We're waiting for Christ to return.

[00:43:38] Don't know when that'll happen.

[00:43:39] No man knoweth, but I do know this.

[00:43:41] It's up to us to get our own houses in order.

[00:43:44] And if you take the parable of the ten virgins, hey, he's talking to the church.

[00:43:48] He's talking to us people.

[00:43:50] And are you going to be the ones with lamps full of oil?

[00:43:52] Are you going to be the ones with lamps out of oil?

[00:43:54] Or are you not even going to be in the list of people who have lamps?

[00:43:58] It's kind of the question that every one of us has to kind of really double down and decide.

[00:44:02] Speaking of time fleeting, is a permanent time change coming?

[00:44:07] Trump's speaking out about it.

[00:44:08] The folks over at Doge are talking about it.

[00:44:11] Trump favors standard time, not daylight savings time.

[00:44:14] I do as well.

[00:44:16] And others are saying, hey, daylight savings time is where it needs to be.

[00:44:19] That debate can happen.

[00:44:20] But, you know, are we going to get rid of the time change before whatever comes back in March?

[00:44:24] Is that what it is now?

[00:44:25] They keep changing the time, so I have a hard time remembering.

[00:44:27] March or April or something like that.

[00:44:28] I think March.

[00:44:29] Anyway, but are they going to get rid of it entirely?

[00:44:32] I sure pray they do, doctor.

[00:44:34] It's expensive.

[00:44:35] It creates all kinds of health problems and issues for people.

[00:44:38] And I just don't know why we'd want the government messing with the time.

[00:44:42] Let the Lord be in charge of time.

[00:44:44] But let's go back to standard time and leave it alone, doctor.

[00:44:47] What do you say?

[00:44:48] You know, I know that people have a lot of opinions one way or the other.

[00:44:54] I mean, I've talked to people that want to keep doing the time changes every six months approximately.

[00:44:59] There's others that absolutely standard time, others absolutely daylight savings time.

[00:45:04] It's very interesting how divisive even some of this stuff is.

[00:45:11] And there are medical reasons, I understand, why the standard time is better.

[00:45:17] There seems to be less stress in terms of a lot of things.

[00:45:20] And heart health and strokes and all those kind of things are improved by standard time.

[00:45:26] Some people, you know, think that having your time to goof off in the evening is important during the summer

[00:45:32] because there's more light and everything like that.

[00:45:35] But all of these debates and discussions, I'm of the opinion that the government dinking around with this thing every few months is just another control factor that I don't want in my life.

[00:45:45] I'd like us to standardize on something.

[00:45:48] I tend to believe standard time is celestial time.

[00:45:51] Okay, I'm not saying in God's house if this is the way it is in heaven.

[00:45:56] But if you look at the skies and, you know, of course, for millennia, literally, people have been watching the skies for all sorts of things.

[00:46:06] And we don't do it nearly as often as we should nowadays.

[00:46:08] And quite often, I sadly miss most that the skies are not even available to look at.

[00:46:16] They're occluded by the stuff that they're pumping into the skies.

[00:46:20] But if you can see the Big Dipper and the polar star, you can tell time.

[00:46:29] And it's a standard time.

[00:46:31] It's on the standard time schedule that we must change the calculations very slightly, ever so slightly, when we go on daylight savings time,

[00:46:43] if you're going to use the stars to tell time.

[00:46:47] So I personally believe that the stars are an accurate portrayal of what the time ought to be.

[00:46:52] And I think that what has been used for thousands of years by the people to look at the skies and gain whatever information and knowledge.

[00:47:01] I mean, I personally think the skies are a magnificent cathedral that are covering really, truly is eternity as we're out in them.

[00:47:11] And Americans really don't, well, not just Americans, but a great deal in the whole world.

[00:47:18] There probably are some societies.

[00:47:20] Yeah, the more people are in cities, the more they don't really realize.

[00:47:22] The more people live out in the country, I think they do realize more so.

[00:47:26] Oh, yeah.

[00:47:27] It's a phenomenon, too.

[00:47:28] And that may be why.

[00:47:29] The closer you get to the country or the dirt or the agricultural setting, whatever you want to call it, the more common sense tends to be available.

[00:47:39] I'm not saying that everybody's got their act together just because they live out where, you know, there aren't as many streetlights.

[00:47:48] But I personally have, I mean, I think back about kind of the grounding I got.

[00:47:54] That's a kind of a, as I laid on the ground when I was in the military.

[00:47:58] And I would look up at this.

[00:48:00] I kind of, I always looked for Orion's belt.

[00:48:03] Of course, Orion is in the scriptures, too.

[00:48:06] But that was, I think, and, you know, people around the world are seeing that.

[00:48:10] And, you know, their setting's different than mine.

[00:48:13] And it kind of was a grounding back to the good times, the good things.

[00:48:17] So I look to the skies that way.

[00:48:19] And I have always done that.

[00:48:20] But the fact of the matter is, talking about time, I think the polar star and the Big Dipper are the time zones, if you will, of, you know, the heavens.

[00:48:34] And so I say let's quit swapping times.

[00:48:37] Let's quit dinking around with that.

[00:48:39] Let's decide and stay because there are a lot of disruption, cost, and everything else that happens with it.

[00:48:45] And I think it brings a rhythm of predictability, if you will, to our lives.

[00:48:53] And it would be good just to stabilize and standardize how they solve the argument.

[00:48:58] I don't know.

[00:48:59] I would prefer standard time based upon the heavens.

[00:49:03] But I don't know.

[00:49:07] People have got to decide that.

[00:49:08] But trust talking.

[00:49:09] I'm for standard time, and I'm pushing for it.

[00:49:11] I think a lot of people have been pushing for it.

[00:49:13] I think we're on the brink of getting this done now, and I hope we can.

[00:49:18] But is a permanent time change coming?

[00:49:22] People are starting to think yes.

[00:49:25] And I want to know, doctor, do you think it's going to happen?

[00:49:28] Do you think they're going to get it done?

[00:49:29] Do you think it's just going to be more talk and then fall apart?

[00:49:32] No, I think this is something that could be carried out.

[00:49:35] I mean, it's a fairly simple kind of thing.

[00:49:38] I mean, and although, like I say, I've been shocked in recent weeks as I've had conversations

[00:49:43] with different people about how voraciously they hang to one position or another.

[00:49:48] And people that I had a conversation with somebody the other day that this guy was kind of like,

[00:49:56] take it to the mat kind of thing.

[00:49:57] And then I asked him, you know, well, let's talk about it.

[00:49:59] What do you think?

[00:50:00] I mean, how come you hold this so strongly?

[00:50:03] I'm interested in just knowing what makes people tick sometimes.

[00:50:07] And the more he talked himself out of it, I mean, he talked about it enough to basically,

[00:50:13] well, I don't know, maybe it's not such a bad idea.

[00:50:17] Pretty soon he was coming around when he actually stopped and thought about it.

[00:50:20] And so all I wanted to do is just ascertain how did you come to this strongly held position?

[00:50:27] And it wasn't so strongly held once he thought about it.

[00:50:30] I just think why complicate things, though?

[00:50:33] Okay.

[00:50:33] The sun changes time when it comes up and comes down or goes down every single day slightly

[00:50:38] throughout the year.

[00:50:39] Yes.

[00:50:40] But if we're going to have any kind of standard, what's wrong with just standard time and

[00:50:43] leaving it alone?

[00:50:44] You say, well, Sam, it's not as light as I'd like in the evening.

[00:50:47] Okay.

[00:50:48] Well, you can do a couple of things.

[00:50:49] You can just get up earlier and then, you know, you can align yourself with the sun more

[00:50:54] if you want to or whatever.

[00:50:56] But I'm just saying it's interesting to me how complicated it's become and it just doesn't

[00:51:00] need to be that way.

[00:51:01] Well, another aspect of it, it seems to be the standard time aligns more with what would

[00:51:08] say to be a natural biorhythm with our physicality, how normally our body would work with our biorhythms

[00:51:17] if you will.

[00:51:18] That's a fact.

[00:51:19] That's right.

[00:51:19] And so there are medical reasons that standard time seems to have a more, you know, kind

[00:51:27] of a valid reason to go with that.

[00:51:29] Yeah.

[00:51:30] And one thing is the standard time versus daylight savings time.

[00:51:34] But another issue is simplifying the time zones.

[00:51:36] Do we really need four time zones across, you know, the continental United States?

[00:51:40] And I say, I don't think so.

[00:51:41] I think you could move all the people that are in California and Nevada and everything

[00:51:45] else.

[00:51:47] They could be on the daylight savings time, which would really mean they'd be on Mountain

[00:51:50] Standard Time.

[00:51:51] Everybody just so you would work on reducing time zones.

[00:51:57] In other words, I'd support just an east and a west time zone two hours apart and you'd

[00:52:01] only have two of them.

[00:52:02] Well, you know, Arizona has done this thing for years where they don't make the flip.

[00:52:08] But, you know, it's one of those things, like I've said many times on your program, I

[00:52:13] feel like Trump over promises very much and under delivers.

[00:52:17] I think that's going to be something that's going to bite him on this behind at some point

[00:52:22] because there are a lot of push points on some things.

[00:52:26] And I just think that this is something that could be carried out without that much, you

[00:52:33] know, acrimony.

[00:52:34] If people say, OK, fine, well, yeah, we'll give him this or let's go with that or, you

[00:52:39] know, the listen to the discussion and then make a choice.

[00:52:44] If it were me first day or two of Congress, what I would do is I'd bring something like

[00:52:48] this up, doctor.

[00:52:49] And I'll tell you why, because I think you could build a coalition around this and you

[00:52:52] could start with more of a we're going to we're going to work on things that make

[00:52:55] sense for the country.

[00:52:56] We're not going to deport the illegals right this very second.

[00:52:59] We're not going to get all crazy and just kick it off where everybody's just so opposed

[00:53:02] they can't even see straight.

[00:53:03] We're going to start by getting a few gains that I think a lot of people would cross the

[00:53:07] aisle and deal with this thing and just say, we agree it's too complicated, not necessary.

[00:53:11] And so I would start out with something like this is the reason that I'm bringing this up

[00:53:15] so quickly before the start of the new year, because I really believe this is something

[00:53:18] that you could you could gain a quick win on and you could demonstrate a little bit of

[00:53:22] unity to start out.

[00:53:24] And I know that'll fall apart when you get more complicated issues, but you got to start

[00:53:28] somewhere.

[00:53:29] Right.

[00:53:29] I would start with something like this personally.

[00:53:31] Yeah.

[00:53:32] And there's there's much to be said with building some, you know, a spree de corps, if you will,

[00:53:38] for the nation again.

[00:53:39] And I found it interesting.

[00:53:42] I mean, having observed, I've been a kind of a way too rabid observer of the political

[00:53:47] process for far too many decades, probably for my own benefit or good.

[00:53:52] But I, I found there was much less political acrimony in so many areas.

[00:53:59] There were more people that had a reasonable mind.

[00:54:02] They had a, they were principles based in many instances.

[00:54:06] And, and there were, there were relationships that were built that weren't just developed

[00:54:12] under whether you're a Republican or a Democrat.

[00:54:14] Amen.

[00:54:14] And we're about out of time, but the bottom line is we can work together, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:54:18] And what it takes is it takes an intelligence to focus on issues that are not polarized in

[00:54:23] the mainstream press.

[00:54:24] That's how you get it done.

[00:54:26] That's where you start.

[00:54:27] And that's why I'm bringing this up because this is Liberty Roundtable Live.

[00:54:30] What does that mean?

[00:54:31] It means solutions on your radio.

[00:54:34] It means civility on your radio, but it means an understanding of the founding fathers and

[00:54:40] a desire to carry out their experiment and follow Jesus Christ.

[00:54:45] God save the Republic.
