Point of View October 4, 2024 – Hour 2 : Weekend Edition

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Hour 2,

[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_02]: First we have this piece that you published in The Hill, why they aren't telling you in

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_02]: that crime reduction happy talk.

[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_02]: They're not telling you all of the facts and an example that I used is a number of months

[00:00:56] [SPEAKER_02]: ago I talked about the fact that Pete Buttigieg was saying, you know, crime went up under

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Trump and it went down under Biden so why do we want to go back to a crime ridden

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Trump year is and then during the very democratic campaign the argument was again crime is down

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_02]: under Trump, under Biden and again it might go up under Trump and yet you point out that

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_02]: if you actually just use some common sense and you look at the fact that I certainly

[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_02]: see a lot of stories about violent crime on television and when I go into a CVS or

[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Walgreens everything seems to be locked up because of shoplifting even though the FBI is

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_02]: telling you that crime has decreased, you've got some reasons for that don't you?

[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Right and so the announcement that came out I think last week was that crime had decreased,

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_05]: violent crime had decreased by about 3% nationwide and they went on to have a few other things

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_05]: that they said had decreased over time and this is from the FBI and they said let's

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_05]: see manslaughter declined 11.6%, rape dropped 9.4%, robbery dropped 0.3% though they did say

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_05]: vehicle theft went up by 12.6% so most of the things they had from the FBI went down,

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_05]: one thing went up but that sort of doesn't ring true with me a little bit so I went and

[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_05]: looked and there was a man who had been head of the Bureau of Justice Statistics and

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_05]: he had a piece in the Wall Street Journal this is Jeffrey Anderson and he pointed some things

[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_05]: out he said number one the FBI gets their data from agencies around the country and not all

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_05]: agencies participate in that and if you were a person who didn't necessarily file a crime

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_05]: if something happened to you and you didn't file a report the agencies would know about

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_05]: it but they have the Bureau of Justice Statistics does its own survey out there and in their

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_05]: survey they actually see and they do to 230,000 households they go to survey households not

[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_05]: agencies and they saw actually some increases in some of the crime areas some maybe about

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_05]: the same but other places where you're talking to people themselves the crimes were actually

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_05]: went up when you're talking back and so that could be somebody gets involved in a crime

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_05]: and they feel like the police can't get here they're not going to do anything anyway

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_05]: so I don't report it but I also highlight what happens with the National Retail Federation

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_05]: and that's where we've been seeing so much lately of crimes of people going into stores

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_05]: in many cases it's a mob going in a store taking thousands of dollars and then rushing

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_05]: out in other cases I've seen excuse me in drug stores they have a garbage bag and they're

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_05]: walking down and they're just pulling cosmetics and all kinds of stuff in a bag and sometimes

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_05]: you have a security guard just watching them do this so the National Retail Federation sees

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_05]: significant increase in crimes at the store level and that's one of the reasons why so

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_05]: many stores are either closing CVS Walgreens other stores retail stores are shutting down

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_05]: they're closing their stores or else they've changed their hours or else they've changed

[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_05]: their products that they're offering to try to address the problem that they're seeing

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_02]: there when you point out that again from a thief's point of view and that's certainly

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_02]: something to think about if you think like a criminal that's not something around the

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_02]: table you every day but for a minute just say why would you want to break into a house

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_02]: and low income area when instead you could break into maybe a high income area but that

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_02]: might have security guards or some kind of fence or maybe a gated community so why

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_02]: not just walk into a drugstore department store and that's exactly what we've seen

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_05]: happening and you can take all kinds of things they don't necessarily stop you

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_05]: in fact the National Retail Federation points out how many more of their stores of their member

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_05]: stores have instructed their employees not to interfere with people who are stealing on

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_05]: this and we've seen I've seen video of this in some of the stores in fact Lululemon had

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_05]: a situation where some people came in and stole something and a couple employees tried

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_05]: to stop them and the head of Lululemon fired the employees for trying to stop

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_05]: them so you know it's just from my standpoint if somebody were breaking into a store and

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_05]: they're trying to take something I would feel like I have I need to say something

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_05]: maybe try to stop them I have a daughter who used to work in store theft and

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_05]: trying to stop people from prevent people from stealing from stores so that's

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_05]: sort of ingrained in a lot of us and just watching them take in some cases

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_05]: big televisions and just walk out with them it just goes against my

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_05]: grain I probably gonna try to stop maybe I'll try to trip them or something but I

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_02]: don't want him going out with that stuff you also have the famous Willie Sutton

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_02]: quote in here because we've noticed that some of this especially rampant crime

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_05]: have been in these big blue cities exactly right and so the thing with

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Willie Sutton is they was asked why Rob banks he said because that's where

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_05]: the money is and so if you're able to go into a department store and steal

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_05]: thousands of dollars of coach Gucci other things and walk out with that why

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_05]: wouldn't you make that your target as opposed to going into a low-income

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_05]: near area and trying to break into a house and maybe not getting anything so

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_05]: the if that's where the that's where the money or the merchandise is now well

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_02]: again there are the implication that if you actually steal steal less than

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_02]: $950 you won't be prosecuted right now I've seen on some of these places

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_02]: like tick-tock and a variety of other signs that say don't steal more than

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_02]: $950 I gotta believe that's or a joke but you know what

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_02]: nobody's counting yeah I mean this is the world that we live in where we'll

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_02]: just turn a blind eye to all of that and back to the National Retail Federation

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_02]: they refer to that as shrink shrink what that is is known as theft you know

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_02]: the profits of shrunk and so that's what they call shrink and this is

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_03]: we live in Jeff yeah no and I you know one of the things that come out in this

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_03]: article that divide between rural America and urban America and I kind of

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_03]: think if you're in rural America or perhaps in Texas and you break into

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_03]: you break into a store someone could be sitting there so I mean it may what

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_03]: did you say you would do to them no you're gonna shoot them

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_03]: and you know we may exercise our second memory right now I'm not saying

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_03]: kill them but I think if you're good enough shot you know shoot somebody you

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_03]: shoot somebody in the leg or in the arm or the way I mean you you wing them you

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_03]: don't shoot to kill them but you shoot you shoot to to wound them then maybe

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_03]: that stops some of this and maybe that's why in rural America that this isn't

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_03]: a problem because people are sitting there and stopping this nonsense but

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I do think the other the other and Kirby you mentioned it so you do have

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_03]: we're not gonna we're not gonna prosecute we're not gonna charge people with 950

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_03]: or less in some areas this whole thing about not not prosecuting crime

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_03]: has to lead in it has to lead into this at some level because even people not

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_03]: reporting police I mean if you're a police officer I mean why even hassle with

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_03]: something that you know no one's going to do anything with and the vehicle

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_05]: fast that I mentioned that is in many cases minors now stealing a car because

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_05]: in some of the blue cities they won't prosecute them they'll just let the minor

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_05]: go so you get this car stolen and from a minor well again if you haven't heard it

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_02]: before I've done some commentaries on it this one by Dr. Merrill Matthews

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_02]: when you're being told that your crime rate is going down

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_02]: and your intuition your common sense says it seems to be going up

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: trust your intuition not what some of the statistics might say we've given

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_02]: you some reasons to believe that we'll take a break come back with more right after this

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_01]: this is viewpoints with Kirby Anderson

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_02]: yesterday I talked about the book on free speech by Jonathan Turley professor of law at

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_02]: George Washington University today I'd like to talk about a recent column where he documents the

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_02]: left's assault on the Constitution now the reason for his article and many other articles

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_02]: about the Constitution is due to a New York Times article that had the title America's

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Constitution is sacred is it also dangerous Leithan Watts writes our Constitution isn't

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_02]: dangerous but our ignorance of it is Jerry Newcomb responds by asking is the Constitution really

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_02]: dangerous the purpose of Jonathan Turley's column is to show that the disdain towards the

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Constitution in one New York Times article goes far beyond that one article the assault on

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_02]: the Constitution involves more than court packing and is targeted on the freedom of

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_02]: he quotes a UC Berkeley law professor who has written no democracy last forever how the

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Constitution threatens the United States an editor of the nation magazine calls the Constitution

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_02]: trash and urges the abolition of the U.S. Senate a law professor at Georgetown law school

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_02]: complains that Americans are slaves to the Constitution the article in the New York Times

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_02]: repeats similar comments and scoffs it what the author calls constitutional worship

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_02]: she writes Americans have long assumed that the Constitution could save us a growing chorus now

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_02]: wonders whether we need to be saved from it and I might mention a previous New York Times op-ed

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_02]: by two law professors from Harvard and Yale who argued the Constitution is broken and should

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_02]: not be reclaimed these are just a few of the quotes provided by Jonathan Turley they remind

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_02]: us that it is time to defend the Constitution I'm Kirby Anderson and that's my point of view

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_01]: for a free copy of Kirby's booklet of biblical view on critical race theory go to viewpoints.info

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_01]: slash crt you're listening to point of view your listener supported source for truth back

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_02]: once again we want to talk a little bit about immigration for just a minute because again

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_02]: there is some point counterpoint in the presidential debate the vice presidential

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_02]: debate but wanted to give you some facts and figures and in what I referred to the other day

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_02]: and Jim Garrett he's first said it so I'll give him credit in one of the most job-dropping Friday

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_02]: afternoon news dumps of all time the US immigration and customs enforcement revealed

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_02]: that the agency's docket include more than 662,000 illegal immigrants who

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_02]: either have a criminal conviction or are waiting a verdict in a criminal crime we're talking about

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_02]: more than 13,000 convicted murders more than 15,000 convicted of sexual assault more than 2,500

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_02]: convicted of kidnapping 62,000 convicted of assault now in just a minute I do want to

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_02]: explain that that has all been blamed on Joe Biden and I think it is clear and I'll show

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_02]: you a graph in just a minute I gotta have my head examined for sometimes showing graphs

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_02]: on radio but I know people watch this or they can watch it later to illustrate that some of

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_02]: this happened before but the reason for this request is way back in March I showed you how

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_02]: long it takes to get a congressional action actually dealt with by the immigration and

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_02]: customs enforcement they waited till Friday because that's called a news dump so that

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_02]: people can't talk about it on Friday Saturday Sunday by Monday there's other stories as well

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_02]: oftentimes hurricane Helene and things like that but Tony Gonzalez has been on the program

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_02]: representative Gonzalez wanted to actually get the information which he'd heard about

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_02]: since he has a district that covers the southwestern border of Texas so Dr. Merrill Matthews these

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_02]: are just mind-numbing statistics 662,000 illegal immigrants who have either a criminal conviction

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_02]: or awaiting a verdict in a criminal case but not all of those came during the time in which Joe

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Biden was president that's right yeah that there it goes back for many many years right but the

[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_05]: customs and border protection does do these by year sometime and I did a piece in the hill

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_05]: last April which highlighted some of these and it was and I'm just so I was able to take it year by

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_05]: year so Joe Biden had there was 21 there was 21,936 a criminal conviction arrest during Donald

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Trump's versus 45,122 during Joe Biden so still big numbers but and they're able to break those

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_05]: down into rapes murders and other things of that nature and in many cases there was I think there's

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_05]: 169 percent increase in some of these things so it's a significant increase and these were taking

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_05]: it by year when they were president so it's still significantly higher under Joe Biden let me just

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_02]: show the graph for those of you that do watch online and this is where Joe Biden takes office

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can see some of that was increasing under Trump now I think there are some reasons

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_02]: for that and how part of it is maybe the assumption that Joe Biden would be the president

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_02]: but you can see that here is where you and this is just enforcement where they've actually caught

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_02]: individuals at the border and you can see how much higher it is there so the bottom line is some

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_02]: of this of course happened before the end of Donald Trump's term but the remarkable increase

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_02]: almost the exponential increase happened under Joe Biden and the business as usual kind of questions

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Jeff that we get sometimes from the moderators both in the presidential debate and the vice

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_02]: presidential debate don't really give the picture of how incredibly different what we are under

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_02]: right now is compared to anything that's ever happened in the past right and if you've ever

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_03]: been down on the border and you actually see what's what's going on and I think

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Representative Chip Roy is doing a really good job of highlighting some of these issues

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_03]: and just the the impact and the I would say the word I was starting to edit myself but devastation

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_03]: that the illegal crossings is is is causing and the number and then they have the government come

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_03]: out and actually come clean because that's really what this is they're coming clean and saying

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_03]: that there's such a large number of these I mean these are not I mean I my heart goes out to the

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_03]: to the innocence that that that are being you know somehow lord and and come across the the

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_03]: border and as a believer I feel I do I feel compassion and sympathy but they are many are

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_03]: victims however there are also really bad people yes that that are involved in this and that's why

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean that's why a nation needs to have an immigration system and that's why a nation

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_03]: needs to have people who come here through a legal process so that you you don't have people

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_03]: being taken advantage of and you do keep out these really bad people that the thing is interesting

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean how many of these people are from from Mexico as compared to other parts of the world

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_03]: because we hear the stories that through our southern border they're not just people of

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_03]: 60 different countries yeah I mean and so Mexico or El Salvador and coming in and with

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_03]: with you know with who knows what intentions and so I think it's it's a shame again I mean

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_03]: are we that surprised that that these type of questions aren't aren't asked to either the

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_03]: presidential or vice presidential candidates because those asking the questions as your

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_03]: and I like I like your chart demonstrates yes this has been a problem and it was a problem

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_03]: under President Trump but if you look at the numbers there's just it is yeah it's what the

[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_05]: administration you know Jeff Jeff highlights this issue and I have some sympathy if you're a person

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_05]: who's in Venezuela and you're just fleeing because Maduro has destroyed the economy and will will

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_05]: incarcerate you if you say anything against it I have a certain sympathy for people who come

[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_05]: across because they are they want to get out of that but you're also getting the

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Venezuelan gangs in here and they're standing they're setting up in several of the cities in

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_05]: the country and they're beginning to operate and the real tragedy in all this there's a lot of

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_05]: tragedies but the real tragedy I think one of the real tragedies is that because Biden has been so

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_05]: negligent on this so negative remember we went for the first couple years where they wouldn't

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_05]: even call it a crisis yes they say the board is closed there's not a crisis and he said but

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_05]: look at those people coming across it's a crisis but it is so poison the the water here

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_05]: that just trying to come up and say trying to come up with a good immigration reform solution

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_05]: that would allow people come in to go through an ordinary process allow them to work and do other

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_05]: things I think it's just almost impossible right now yeah I mean it's going to take I mean you go

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_03]: back to Ronald Reagan was it 1986 which which I think is the last real reform yes it was and

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I know that there were criticisms of that from from the right uh and from the left which

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_03]: probably means it was probably pretty good it was at least an attempt to do something I think it

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_03]: takes it's going to take it's going to take republican commitment to do something I mean I

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_03]: think part like I always say look building the border wall that that that is part of the

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_03]: solution but there's got to be more and we need to have a a legal system um that uh encourages

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_03]: good people coming to this country and wanting good people who are are being subjected to persecution

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and you want them to come we want to have an economy that is growing and that that we can

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_03]: absorb and we want more workers in that economy but it's got to be a system that's through a

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_05]: legal basis in penta dexer has pointed out in some of our commentaries the declining birth

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_05]: rate that we have here we can't sustain this we need people here because the birth rate

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_05]: internally is not is not keeping up so you need people and you need a process to be able to get

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_05]: them in but the one of the questions they ask at the debate was if you have immigrants here and

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_05]: a bird they're illegal but they had a child here and that child is a citizen would you

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_05]: separate them and so I in my point we need we need to address the birthright citizenship

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_05]: issue because you don't want somebody just coming across having a baby and saying

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_05]: now my child is a is a American citizen I get I should get everything but they do get free

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_05]: education if they do that they can the child if it's low income was able to get certain benefits

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_05]: that the parents have to take and spend because the child can't so it's just a mess right now and

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_05]: we need to be able to address this issue well again I think that's a misreading to the

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_02]: 14th amendment but again I have people that are sat around this table that say no no I think

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_02]: that's the right reading of the 14th amendment so we can't get agreement on that it's been

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_02]: right or not I mean that's what we've been doing it's what we ended up with well again I just thought

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I'd bring up the immigration issue when we come back real briefly just I've posted a piece here

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_02]: about no peace in the Middle East until regime change in Iran that's another one I mean we have

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Iran maybe developing a nuclear weapon Iran through its proxies are first have attacked

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_02]: of course Israel we are now coming up to the course the anniversary on that one-year

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_02]: anniversary and then of course Hezbollah and the rest and again that foreign policy issue maybe

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_02]: not something people think about too often when they vote but it was again an issue that should

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_02]: have been raised and then we'll get into some other issues or would love to get Dr

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Matthews comments on Americans are more reliant than ever on government for a man that wrote

[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_02]: about the entitlement cliff we'll talk about that and then some other comments including we

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_02]: do have pened extra's commentary today so if you find yourself saying you've got some good articles

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_02]: here I'd like to read those from myself they're available on our website at point of view net

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I hope you'll stop by and click on that button that says donate because we'd appreciate your

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_02]: financial support we'll take a break come back with more right after this it almost seems like we

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_01]: live in a different world from many people in positions of authority they say men can be women

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_01]: and women men people are prosecuted differently or not at all depending on their politics criminals

[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_01]: are more valued and rewarded than law-abiding citizens it's so overwhelming so demoralizing

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_01]: you feel like giving up but we can't we shouldn't we must not as Winston Churchill said to Britain

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_01]: in the darkest days of world war two never give in never give in never never never

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_01]: never yield to force never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and that's what we say to you today this is not a time to give in but to step up

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and join point of view in providing clarity in the chaos we can't do it alone but together

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_01]: with God's help we will overcome the darkness invest in biblical clarity today at point of

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_01]: view net or call 1-800-347-5151 point of view net and 803-47-5151

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_01]: point of view will continue after this you are listening to point of view

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_01]: the opinions expressed on point of view do not necessarily reflect the views of the management

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_01]: or staff of this station and now here again is Kirby Anderson final half hour and we are privileged

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_02]: to have in studio with us till the rest of the program Jeff material maryl matthews i've posted

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_02]: this article more for our younger listeners because when we talk about the middle east

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: jw wilbur actually reminds us of some of the various attacks that have taken place for example

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_02]: in iran or in lebanon of course the iranian terrorist in 1979 the iranian back terrorist

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_02]: in the embassy in bay root lebanon of course the attack that took a little bit later that killed

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_02]: 220 u.s marines and sailors as well as then of course taking the c i station chief william buckley

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_02]: on 1984 william higgins disappearing in 1988 and on and on and on to really remind us

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_02]: that the other day when we talked about the killing of the hezbollah leader hasan nasrallah

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_02]: as he said that's a good start not nearly enough and so negotiations he says with the iran our

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_02]: feudal and i want to go around the round table for just a minute because in some respects

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_02]: we are not only electing a president to deal with the domestic policy issues we're talking

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_02]: about we're electing a commander-in-chief and uh it is i think fairly clear that iran was strapped

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_02]: financially under donald trump and the various embargoes that took place and once joe biden came

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: into positions of authority removed some of that iran now has money that they can channel to hamas

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_02]: hezbollah the hoothies and so even though donald trump says well we had no problem with iran when

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_02]: i was in office well partially true but more it has to do with the fact there wasn't the money

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_05]: to actually do this yeah donald trump tried to put the oil sanctions on there and and really clamped

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_05]: down on iran and we have we have a long history of issues with iran and until and as the uh the

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_05]: point the uh pshu pointed out until you take care of regime change and so you change that

[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_05]: position we're going to continue having problems with him and this thing is if anybody had any

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_05]: doubt that iran was backing hamas and the hoothies israel has not attacked iran now israel was attacking

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_05]: the hamas and the hezbollah and then all of a sudden iran starts sending missiles 180 somebody

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_05]: missiles into israel so they are we are in a very very dangerous place now not only because

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_05]: of iran but because iran is teaming up with russia iran is teaming up with china north korea you've

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_05]: got afghanistan with the taliban in the middle of there you've got a lot of bad actors that control

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_05]: an awful lot of land an awful lot of resources and awful lot of finances and they have a very strong

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_05]: reach and they're very focused on expanding their power one of the things we have noticed in

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_02]: that is that there are a lot of young people that are more likely to support hamas than to support

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_02]: israel because of all the way in which the press has presented some of that and i think this piece

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_02]: is really intended to actually maybe require at least a little bit of soul searching because

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_02]: i recognize our younger listeners were not around in 1979 and 1983 and 1988 and all the other

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_02]: actions that precede this and so you recognize that that is certainly the case but again jeff i think

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_02]: we have to also understand that when you go and vote in november you're not just voting for somebody

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_02]: who takes care of domestic policy this still is the most powerful country or one of the most

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_02]: powerful countries in the world and what the united states does through the commander in chief

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_02]: will determine whether or not taiwan is invaded by china whether or not we can bring about

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_02]: some settlement between russia and ukraine and whether israel will exist as a country

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah and i think the this is something that obviously the two candidates have varying views

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_03]: and and probably more importantly records on you know with with regard to to iran i mean they are

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_03]: state sponsor of terrorism i mean i i think we can safely say that uh and and and i can be fact-checked

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_03]: even by cbs on that probably and it would be okay um and then the question is well how i i wonder

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_03]: if we let the israelis do what the israelis want to do i mean i i kind of wonder if certainly

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_03]: that nyahu has a plan and more than just um you know a little squirmish and um but but really to do

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_03]: something and that that those plans whether they've not been approved or he he knows that in the

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_03]: current environment in n dc he couldn't take an action because he's been told he can't do it

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_03]: or he suspects that there would be adverse consequences if he did because he doesn't

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_03]: have the support of the biden harris administration that if we let the israelis do what the israelis

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_03]: can and want to do then that would help um the other is at times we've heard and dr mes you may have

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_03]: more knowledge on this than i do that there are force there are democratic forces in iran

[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_03]: we've heard reports about actually the christian church actually growing in iran and we never supported

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_05]: them when they try to write sort of get their revolution going and so i don't know if there if

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_03]: there is something and and um you know i read i i love um the fiction pieces that that that you

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_03]: know people like um and i'm sure you've had them on joel rozenberg and have written

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and you you know the in iran and the forces i ran and so i i wonder i mean there's something and

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_03]: prep although this under this administration they probably stopped all that but i wonder

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_03]: if there's any rule of the cia it seems to be you know um doing something to encourage

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_03]: an internal change but on the external side i you know i'd let israel do what israel

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_05]: probably wants to do and can do well net now who has essentially promised that there'd be a response

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_05]: much greater and more intricate than people have uh anticipate it would not surprise me i'm just i

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_05]: have no i have no knowledge on so i have no inside information but it wouldn't surprise me if they

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_05]: could take out most of the iranian leadership in a day if they wanted to as they took out one

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_05]: of the hamas leaders in iran yeah that's right in a compound yeah i had ken timmerman talking about

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_02]: the fact that they don't know where they want to sleep they don't know if they want to get pagers

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_02]: or cell phones or walkie talkies or anything talk about intimidating our signals yeah it's

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_03]: unbelievable and and and what would be our reaction if i don't know to take a european

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_03]: country norway launched missiles into england yeah what would we say would we tell england

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_03]: they can't do something in return or you know if if putin launches oh he did he actually

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_03]: he did invade a country so yeah okay all right but somebody said the other day we wouldn't

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_02]: to put up with it if all of a sudden the mexican cartels were able to launch missiles

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_02]: into san antonio we'd say wait a minute you know and there have been eight thousand rockets that

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_02]: have been launched by hezbollah and there are hundreds of missiles and these are ballistic

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_02]: missiles launched from iran taken out by the iron dome so i just think that's something to pay attention

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_02]: to so anyway i just thought i'd put on the table it's another one of those missed opportunities

[00:31:13] [SPEAKER_02]: to remind people that the next president is commander in chief but i did want to get this

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_02]: one from the doctor maril matthews a good piece americans are more reliant than ever on government

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_02]: aid and they even pointed out that when you look at some of the swing states where we broadcast

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_02]: about 70 percent of the counties in michigan georgia and north carolina are significantly

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_02]: reliant on government income and nearly 60 percent of the counties in pennsylvania

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_02]: are and then about 13 of the 15 counties in a rizona are heavily relied on safety net

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_02]: income now the state that's most relied on government aid is west virginia but if you

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_02]: look at this if these swing states are going to determine who the next president is and my state

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_02]: is really dependent on government aid and i perceive that kamala harris is going to give

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_02]: me more money than donald trump what does that mean and this goes back to something that play

[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_05]: though had suggested in the republic if you go to a democracy in which the people the lower

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_05]: income people are able to uh to take extract money from the government you give them a reason to vote

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_05]: out higher income people and to take over just to on order to benefit from the uh from the handouts

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_05]: that are there and that has always been a problem and we are well past a tipping point now

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_05]: with health care pension benefits and other things that we so much money is coming from

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_05]: the federal government and now free student loans and apparently uh kamala harris wants to make going

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_05]: to college free and other things you're you're you're essentially squeezing the hand the handful of

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_05]: people who are who don't get anything from the government into a smaller and smaller number

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_05]: and all the people like the dock workers who are already doing quite well and they wanted even

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_05]: more they're willing to shut down the country in order to be able to do that and you may get

[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_05]: something like that in entitlements as more and more people are dependent on some kind of benefit

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_02]: from the federal government well again if you live in some of those states and of course we

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_02]: broadcast in those it even gives you for example a map of pennsylvania and a map of michigan and a

[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_02]: map of north carolina and some others just shows you which particular states well um and in many

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_02]: cases you see uh some at the time we're voting for trump but what about this next election

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_02]: in which they might vote for kamala harris instead if indeed you're dependent on the federal government

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_02]: and you want more maybe you think democrats are going to give more than republicans

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_02]: anyway another article on the website we'll be right back

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_00]: in these days do you sometimes find yourself struggling to discern truth from lies do

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_00]: you sense that bedrock principles regarding culture and politics are being mercilessly

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_00]: challenged do sources of information you once found reliable now seem shaky we're being

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_00]: targeted by a powerful propaganda technique called reality suppression in a recent sub stack

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_00]: article author and filmmaker christopher rufo unpacks how the left suppresses reality in order

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_00]: to maintain its control over the discourse chris rufo explains the technique of reality

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_00]: suppression is designed to persuade your opponent not to believe what is in front of him he gives

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_00]: three examples one is covet where did the pandemic come from if the evidence had you convinced

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_00]: or at least suspicious that it was from a lab leak it was deemed racist or too antagonistic

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_00]: toward china to say so skepticism of the vaccine was dismissed as anti science the possibility

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_00]: of natural immunity was dismissed hence either by censorship or intimidation reality was suppressed

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_00]: the second example of reality suppression is critical race theory chris rufo brought crt to

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_00]: public attention and surfaced a massive body of evidence to show how it was being taught in schools

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_00]: but the left employed its media outlets to deny that crt even exists your reality suppression says

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_00]: mr rufo taking something that is obviously real that is substantiated by evidence and just using a

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_00]: blanket denial to say something that exists does not exist chris rufo's third example is

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_00]: immigration massive numbers of illegals flowing across the border and into the interior of

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_00]: the country the establishment media ignores or plays down the danger of criminals specifically

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_00]: then zuelan gang members bringing murder drugs and human trafficking into sanctuary cities like new

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_00]: york places like aurora colorado and even suburbs around the country to fight reality suppression

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_00]: mr rufo says trust your own observation and intuition and seek out reliable sources of

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_00]: information for point of view i'm pennadexer you're listening to point of view your listener

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_02]: supported source for truth back for a few more minutes again one of the things we always do is play

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_02]: pennadexer's commentary you can of course get a copy of it right now by going to the website

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_02]: point of view dot net of course if you sign up to get the viewpoints commentary we send

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_02]: mine monday through friday to you on your inbox mine is today on the attack on the constitution

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_02]: which we've talked about before and you receive hers on saturday but she talks about chris

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_02]: rufo and reality suppression gives three examples one is coven where did the pandemic come from

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_02]: another example of reality suppression is critical race theory and the third of course is the issue

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_02]: of immigration and there is a phrase that i know that i still think people have trouble

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_02]: understanding gaslighting but whatever you believe you know do you believe me or do you believe

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_02]: your lion eyes whatever phrase you want to use this idea dr. matthews of reality suppression

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_02]: is simply saying i want you to believe that the crime rate is down even though you walk into a

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_02]: drugstore and everything's locked up i want you to believe that indeed immigration is under

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_02]: control even though we have venezuelan gangs that are actually roaming the streets in some

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_05]: of the cities are you have joe biden saying i want you to believe that inflation is going

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_05]: down even as people saying well i can't i get went to the store and it cost me a hundred dollars to

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_05]: get one bag of something and i used to be able to get i used to be able to get that for 25 or 30

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_05]: dollars so uh when people confront those things and it just doesn't what we're being told is

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_05]: reality doesn't match it makes people skeptical of what's happening you know which may explain

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_03]: one of our earlier segments talking about why are young people becoming more conservative is

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_03]: because when the government is is part of this misinformation there's no trusting government

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_03]: at all and i think i think that that continues to to lead to lack of trust but also the disillusion

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_05]: and you know he mentioned the track the lack of trust in government and we've seen the

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_05]: polls of people who trust government it has been oh since the 1970s so it was fairly high

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_05]: even in the 1980s it has been on a straight decline for some time and i think covid really

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_05]: exacerbated that when you had when you had anthony foushee come out and say at the beginning

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_05]: don't wear a mask it's ridiculous it wouldn't help you anyway and then three months later

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_05]: you need to wear a mask in fact maybe two masks and you just see them flip on so many things

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_05]: and curvy there just was no there was no sort of humility in this i mean you could come out

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and say this is an upper respiratory disease it may be like other ones like fluid pneumonia but we

[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_05]: don't know much about it so we're going to be a little cautious of what we say this is our best

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_05]: thinking right now but we may change then you understand there's some you know things are in

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_05]: progress but they would just adamantly say you just if you don't believe what we're saying

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_05]: now you just don't believe the science and a few months later they're completely opposite of

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_02]: what they said so again lots of well documented statements and again whether it's anthony foushee

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_02]: or the surgeon general say don't use mask and all of a sudden if you don't wear a mask you know then

[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_02]: we aren't even going to let you into certain establishments and on and on just we are well

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_02]: aware but i didn't want this to end by without talking about this article america's young men are

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_02]: falling behind even further behind and there is something we've talked about before you have

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_02]: millions and millions of young men who are employable technically but they're not working

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_02]: and they're not looking for work and rachel wolf tells the story of one of these particular

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_02]: conctor uh couples but uses that to illustrate that in spanish in coming out though means that

[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_02]: they're supposed to be on a path to an independent adulthood and yet you have a lot of these

[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_02]: young men just in the basements of their homes and i think jeff you'd said i read this and i'm just

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_03]: grateful for my son right now absolutely i've got i've got i've got two sons who are in this age

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_03]: group right and um who both are married both own their own homes and both have jobs so it makes me

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_03]: so who would think right so appreciative of of of them and and i guess it also makes me

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_03]: appreciate my daughter who's not married that she's not married to someone like this but it

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_03]: might also explain why she's not married there you go not married but you know some of this i mean

[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_03]: these statistics were like very troubling two-thirds of of of young people 18 to 30 said no one knows

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_03]: them well that's that's troubling and then and then the other one that 25 percent had not been

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_03]: out of the house yes for the whole week what are they doing what are they doing i don't know

[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_05]: and we've actually come up with a term for this we call failure to thrive failure to thrive people

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_05]: do just are not doing well and i've been thinking about this for a little while curvy because i think

[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_05]: i don't want to blame video games but i think kids playing on video games and head is part of

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_05]: it uh social media so that i might get my interaction and people by looking at my phone

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_05]: rather than going out and meeting my friends that certainly may be part of it and it may be that

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_05]: parents who often you know parents we want to do well by our kids we want to make sure that they

[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_05]: don't have the struggles that we have coming up and that may have made them made it harder for them

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_05]: to actually thrive because they didn't have to have those struggles no and i was going to say

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_03]: and i'm glad you mentioned parents at the end because um i i've got a lot a lot of the

[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_03]: blame has got to go on parents i mean it and and i get there are probably situations when

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_03]: people even listening you're saying well you don't understand my son has whatever issues

[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_03]: and and i'm not talking about that um but but i do i do put and the other is i the church

[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_03]: i mean we don't these are numbers across the population but i assume if because most

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_03]: statistics and in today's the church is about the exactly the same as as as society at large

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_03]: and and we don't know that but just assuming that they're anywhere close i mean it's a problem

[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_03]: in the church um in the church at whole for lack of discipleship i mean i mean this is not

[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_03]: godly behavior staying at home and not going out um unless they become a monk i mean if you've

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_03]: become a monk and you're in a monastery then maybe this is excusing but otherwise a lot of people say

[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_02]: well what can we do i said well first of all young people especially young men that i know

[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_02]: that have turned it around usually one of two reasons promise keepers which is a you know or

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_02]: some church activity or they've read jordan peterson really you know and there have been a

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_02]: number of them that said he saved my life you know and again some of us say and of course i've

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_02]: read a fair amount of jordan peterson's first book and i've got the second one sitting on

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_02]: the shelf mocking me but nevertheless you get into that or and of course a lot of them don't read

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_02]: but they see youtube videos and things of that nature and i'm not just saying that there's a

[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_02]: variety of others out there that finally say you know i need to make some fun out of my life

[00:43:12] [SPEAKER_02]: here and this sad reality is like you said when two-thirds of 18 to 30 old men uh said that

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_02]: nobody knew them well well if you're at home all the time because a quarter of them said

[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_02]: they hadn't been outside the home in the past week what are they doing well they're having social

[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_02]: media meet their social needs they're having video games meet and also videos meeting other needs

[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_02]: and can i be blunt they also have pornography meeting some of their sexual needs and so they

[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_02]: aren't really involved in the culture and there's nothing in the culture right now

[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_02]: that is encouraging them to be responsible men and this is just one more illustration

[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_02]: of a problem that will exist no matter who is president and it illustrates again that some

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_02]: of the biggest problems america faces right now are not political they're cultural and they're

[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_02]: spiritual and that's where the church can make a difference so if nothing else i wanted to

[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_02]: end with that and recognize if you got somebody in that category you might want to read that
