The Ron Edwards American Experience - 261014

God, I love this station. Program loaded and ready. And away we go. Say A, say M, say E, say R, say I, say C, say A, M. Ladies and gentlemen, It's the Ron Edwards American Experience Talk Show, where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now, your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards. Well, good day, good day, hello, and how are you? I'm Ron Edwards, and welcome to our get-together. And folks in the chat room, thanks for joining us today as well. I want you to speak your opinions, and whether you agree with me or not. But anyway, we've got a lot of things to cover today. A lot of interesting stuff. You know, there's one video that... I want to present it today. I don't even know if I got it up on time, but the University of Michigan, now they're replacing one of their traditional celebrations during their normal football games. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, they have something called Brightside, but guess what? They're replacing it with the Islamic call to prayer. And the reason why the University of Michigan is now sounding the Islamic call of prayer in their football games is because they say that that now aligns with their principles at the University of Michigan and the community. Now, the last time I checked, the Islamic population is still a small minority, about 2% overall. It's not very big. And it certainly is not a reason why you should ditch one of your traditions that you've been doing, I don't know, since 1800 or something, whenever the University of Michigan started playing football. And now you say, well, we're ditching that for the Islamic call to prayer. And that is how well entrenched the Islamists, though as small in population as they are, have basically woven their way into society here in the state of Michigan. I'm bringing this up at the outset of this broadcast just because I'm very concerned. I'm very concerned. This kind of thing could not be happening if the church... It's like we bring this up on a variety of subjects every week. And on my daily show, we bring up so many times how the church has failed to maintain its position in our society, to maintain its relevancy. See, the church has become very irrelevant and making God irrelevant in the minds of most people. Incorrectly, I might add, but it is what it is. You know, they say the traditions of men make the word null and void. And they're certainly doing a good job of that here in the state of Michigan. And we'll circle back around to that with more details. You know, Republicans are not perfect on everything when it comes to things that are good for our republic. But Democrats are 100% evil and destructive on literally every single issue, every single principle, and every action impacting our beloved republic. And one has to wonder why in Sam Hill do so many people choose to fall into line with Democrats, which have been destroying their quality of life. Whether it's in education, the family, the economy, every aspect of life has been ill-affected. by those in power in what they call blue states and blue cities throughout our republic. And on average, wherever you are, it doesn't matter if you're in the state of Washington, the state of Michigan, the state of New York, California, Oregon, and elsewhere, Pennsylvania, Commonwealth, Pennsylvania, life is made much worse when Democrats are in control. even with the economic situation we have now with President Trump, it's still a lot better than it was under Uncle Joe Biden and under Ali Obama. And I'll tell you why. Because the fundamentals are stronger. And when it comes to manufacturing, that is in a better position than it was during those years. And every aspect of the economy is much better than it was, with the exception. And our country had better technology tackle this very, very soon. And that is our deficit. Deficit spending. That is totally out of control. And technically, the president doesn't have control over that. His authority doesn't reach into that. That is up to Congress. It is up to Congress. They're the ones who have the control of the purse strings. And why little Mikey Johnson has chosen not to at least go public and try to exercise his authority and round these people up and try to cut back spending. I've said many times that the spending level should be pared back to where they were in 2019 before the Corona China virus. That's not many years ago, but it is far back enough that if you pair that with increased strong economic situations that we are, experiencing with the Trump administration, that will positively impact what we're going through, especially when it comes to petrol, when it comes to diesel, heating prices, things of that nature. Thank God it's not cold yet, but, you know, winters are coming. And we have to start thinking about those kinds of things so that when the season arises, Americans will not be caught... In a bad situation, we've got to prepare. Got to be like the ant, as it says in the Bible. Consider the ant and prepare. We all know that the traditional American family is in decline and has been for some time. You know, when I was a little boy growing up in Cleveland, family was everything. Everywhere, there was families everywhere. The majority of folks were in families. Father and mother was there. And I couldn't tell you where it wasn't mother and father. Not in a house. You might find single people in apartments. But in every house. It was mother, father, children. Yes, the family dog. In my case, I had an aquarium too. But yeah. And... Everyone went to church, and our Jewish neighbors all went to synagogue on Saturdays. And if you go all the way back to the time of John Dewey, one of the things that they understood that maintained America's strength and her greatness was her families. Even my dad used to tell me when I was a little guy, look, a nation is only as strong as her family's. Families were not designed only for raising of children, but because of that setup, when the majority of people come out of those kinds of situations, it guarantees the strength of your society because you learn and you are in a position of unity as you grow up in your family. And it is also reflected in our community, in our nation. It used to be told that the values in our homes were reflected in our schools. That's why at one time, if you went to school, you could not get in trouble without mom and dad knowing about it. And when you got home, you know, depending on the situation, lightning bumped the stump. And so there was a reflection there. There was a unity. I mean, when I grew up, many of my teachers... were great friends with my dad. They especially loved my dad. Between my mother and father, they really were drawn to my father. And any time any day of the week any time especially even in the summertime a teacher one of my teachers might pop over so i knew there was no way out for me i had to straighten up and fly right so and this was common across the republic or at least so i thought And we were on, I guess you could say, I guess we were very blessed to grow up into that type of community. Now, little did I know, or I assumed, as a little boy, that this is the way it was everywhere. And for the most part, I was correct. It was usually that way. It didn't matter what community, whether it was our community, whether it was in the total black community, Italian community, yada, yada, yada. Family, faith, nation, etc. And for the most part, it didn't matter where you lived. For the most part, America was a very strong nation. She was very unified. And I'll tell you about the mentality. There was a song that James Brown made in the 19... Oh, gosh. Gosh. I think it came out in the 1960s, where he talks about how in America, black and white, we may fight, but when the enemy comes, we will unite and run them out of sight. And there was that unspoken unity that we all had. And it was centered around, yes, what we were taught, our constitutionally limited way of life was taught in our schools. And it was reflected in our churches. The moral principles taught in our churches were reflected at home and in our churches because our teachers went to church too or synagogue. And so there was this general expectation of good behavior, common decency, and an unspoken unity, and an unspoken sense of joy in our nation. As a little boy, because I didn't know any better, I used to call the United States of America the Disneyland of the world, because generally, it was a happy place. It was a very positive place. Whether it was our neighborhood, whether it was you go downtown, whether you travel across the country, it was generally happy. a joyful, friendly place. If your neighbor, you know, ran on hard times, they didn't have to depend on government for the most part. The neighbors kicked in. The church kicked in. And it didn't take any long, bureaucratic, why do you need it? What's the point? You know, you know what they put you through. And people were not trying to rip off the system anyway. Many people would rather almost lose their arm than have to even ask for help. But there were situations where there was no choice, whether it was after a hurricane or a bad situation. And it was kind of funny to say this, but people rarely lost their jobs back then, too. The dads worked, and if the mother wanted to, she worked, but she didn't have to because taxes were not so high. and regulations weren't so retarded that it would force the mother out of the home. And families could, people could buy a home, one or two cars, fund their children's education. It was amazing how far the U.S. dollar could go in the 1950s and the 1960s. And a funny thing happened. After the bastardized rights movement of the 1960s, things suddenly started falling off. Education started going down. Morality started. You know, the fear of the police by thugs started to depreciate. Not to the level it is now, but it started. And so, see, and then let's stop right there in the 1960s. And then let's go all the way back to the time of John Dewey. When they, in their private discussions, would talk about how to dismantle this republic. And they even were very patient about it. They said, well, you know, it'll take a long time to dismantle the American family. It's going to take a long time. But see, on their side, we call them leftists today, they're very, very patient about like the Chinese. Chinese, they think in 100-year increments or longer. We, in the realm of Christianity and Judaism, modern Judaism and modern Christianity, the modern-day political conservative, we think very short-term. We're very impatient. And we're not methodical. And that's why, even though we have the best ideas... And when they are enacted, people are blessed. But we are very impatient, very short-sighted. There's a great possibility because of our own short-sightedness. The midterms may go to the Democrats because people would rather be impatient and say, you know what? Trump screwed up here. Trump screwed up there. The Republicans did this or didn't do that And I've talked about those issues. So they're willing to say, you know what? Let's just go all the way to hell. Just turn it over to the Democrats. And this has been done over and over and over again in our republic. Rather than our side taking the long view and really getting into the backside of our so-called better leaders. or politicians, or statesmen, they should be statesmen, rather than getting into their grill and forcing them to fulfill their promises, we say, you know what, screw them. And sit back. 40% of Christians don't. They're hard-headed knuckleheads, refuse to vote. And what does that do? That emboldens those who have set out long ago to destroy, for example, the American family. Because those on the other side, who take the 100 to 200 year incremental thinking processes and set things in motion, and when they get setbacks, let's say people on their side don't fully implement the evil that they're promoting, they they still stick with it. For example, remember when Bill Clinton compromised with Newt Gingrich and the budget was balanced? We had a strong economy. And Brother Bill got a lot of credit. And people scratched their heads and ignorantly thought that, boy, he's a different kind of Democrat. He's a You know, he has some conservative leanings when it comes to economics. Where, no, the case was, Newt Gingrich was a strong leader in that area, and he had chutzpah. He didn't have Mikey Johnson-itis, where he was scared, a scared little punk or whatever. He was bold with Bill Clinton. He says, okay, wait a minute. Either you're going to work with me, or you're going to have a horrible legacy And, you know, it'll go to the Republicans next time around in the White House. And so Bill Clinton, not being stupid, he said, all right, okay, I'll go ahead with this. And he came out smelling like a rose. See, their side is willing to, the smart ones like Bill Clinton, to play ball to further their cause. Because when it came to morality issues... Bill Clinton still got his licks in. Like, I did not have sex with that woman. When in reality, he was doing all kinds of crazy stuff that should have never, ever been even thought about in the Oval Office, let alone actually done in the Oval Office. Okay? And so we have a situation today Because of the lack of forethought on our side. We just let it go for some reason. You have a situation that is called family deserts in our country. One of those deserts is Detroit. Detroit! The largest or the number one family desert in the United States of America. Where only 13% of households in the former motor capital of the world are housed by mother and father or father and mother married with children. 13%. And guess what? Cleveland and other major cities like Atlanta, let's see here, St. Louis, St. Louis, yeah, they're chiming in with 14%. Man, Oh, man, oh, man. Now, Cleveland had 14%. St. Louis, Columbus chime in with a whopping 15% of households in the city. And they point, this is according to the U.S. Census Bureau study, by the way. And they point out, they're very smart in how they point it out so that people can read and say, hmm, okay. They say in certain areas of these cities. Now in Detroit, the whole city is black. It's just black, black, black, black, black. About 90% or whatever. Maybe down to about 80% because some whites have been moving into certain areas. But in cities like Cleveland where it's not majority black, they politely say in certain areas. And this was part of the goal of the Democrat Party in the 1960s. Because it riled not only the Democrats in politics, but liberals or leftists across the board, throughout society, because they were all Democrats, of course. And on the leftist side, they were all, I'll say the majority of them were racists. But yet at the time, they were also anti-American. And they said, well, where can we wedge into a sizable segment of society that can help us destroy the country from within? In other words, become useful idiots. And so they chose to go after the black American community and destroy their families. And of course, you all know the drill about how FDR started it, but it really took off in mass under Lyndon Johnson. That's Scalawag who said that he would have those niggers voting for 200 years. And he was the one that solidified the fact that blacks up to 90% still vote for Democrats, no matter what they do, no matter all the destruction and everything that they've caused, they still vote for basically in that pattern. However, in recent years, since the Trump revolution, you've had larger numbers of black men, and I emphasize black men, stepping away and say, you know what, this is bad for us. Not only for our people, but especially bad for us black men. And so they've been stepping away. And thank goodness, because of El-Sayed and how wacky he is, way out there, being a Muslim, which is a very racist community as well, black men are saying, you know what? We're not having it. You know, if the women want you, they can have you. But we're stepping away as voters. And so I believe that's going to impact the midterm elections. But how do we get here? I mentioned it earlier. As the leftists gained influence and were able to wedge away high moral principles, the thinking of the importance of the family, the maintenance of the family was winnowed away. And so you had this going on for multiple generations. You had the welfare system the queens, they call them queens in the black community, were told, hey, you don't need a man. I, the great white father, can take care of you. And you don't have to answer to a man, a father, a husband. And believe it or not, they did try, to be honest with you, they tried that with every group in America, everyone. But the one that took it in mass, that's the group that the left most concentrated on and to this very day are the most negatively impacted, especially when it comes to the family. Now, what they did to the black American community, they are seeking to do to the overall American community called the United States of America. Had to start somewhere. You know, had the black community not brought into it, and it started somewhere else, that would have been the group that was torn apart and destroyed as far as their families are concerned. And they would be in the position that the black community is in America today. And that goes back to something else my dad used to tell me. It's about principles. Wrong or right, it's about principles. And how you interact with good principles and or bad principles matters. which dictates the outcome of your life or in community lives, your families, your education, your everything in your entire life. And since the goal overall of the leftist is about destroying the community, I'm sorry, the country, the republic, at the very least turning it into a socialist pig nation, in certain pockets of the United States of America are, you know, very socialist oriented and very wicked in some aspects. Well, you have a nation where you have government officials that are more in favor and more in tune with illegal border crossers. And believe it or not, I just find it irritatingly retarded how many Americans in this country are going along with this and prefer this over a normalized, strong U.S. way of life. Their preference. And see, this is where I say, you know what? We have to grow up and understand that is the case. And we have to decide, those of us who don't want our country to be destroyed, those of us who want the American family to be restored, those of us who want high moral standards to be reinstated in our republic, those who want America, the beautiful, to once again be one nation under God, we have to decide as a whole to make that our goal and to bring about the defeat of those domestic enemies, who literally want to destroy this country from within. And that is why you have the issuance or the letting in of so many millions of illegal border crossers, Muslims, who are also many of them, or most of them are illegal border crossers as well. That's why they're here. They're not here because of better opportunities or anything like that. Because, what is it, 80%? 84% of all, for instance, Somalians are on welfare. That's not an opportunity. That's just being a leech, a human leech. They're here to bleed away our wealth. They're here to, when they get the chance, to destroy Americans and or their property or take things away from us with the permission of especially the Democrats in power and some Republicans like Murkowski, Karl Rove, and all the globalist Republicans, Mitch McConnell, Tillis, Massey, Susan Collins. Yeah. They don't care about the destruction of Of the Democrats? Because all they want to do is get along with them. They're more enamored with getting along with and compromising with Democrats who are hellbent on it. on destroying all of us. They're more enamored with compromising with them than standing on the platform of the very party they say they represent. Rather than standing true to their code You know, the one when they raise their hand and swear to uphold the Constitution, etc., etc., etc. They supposedly put their hand on the Bible and swear before God that they're going to do this. Then they turn around and don't do it. But we have to decide. We're the deciders. Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, and my own dad would be furious about current approaches to race relations in America. Hello, I'm Ron Edwards. On today's page from the Edwards Notebook, Frederick Douglass became arguably the greatest orator of the 19th century, a champion for freedom, and a U.S. ambassador. George Washington Carver became a world-renowned inventor. My own dearly departed dad was a valiant military hero, hard-working family man, and the world's greatest dad. All three men had a few positive traits in common. One, they did not allow their goals or actions to be dictated by those seeking to either oppress them physically or otherwise. Two, they never saw themselves as victims. They viewed obstacles, whatever they were, as situations, things, or certain people to simply overcome. Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, and my own dad all utilized their God-given talents, brains, and honest effort to vastly improve their chances of success in this life. Despite certain problems they all faced, they never hated the United States, but rather sought to encourage America to remember that all men are created equal with certain unalienable rights which come from God.

It's the Ron Edwards American experience emanating from the United States of America and throughout the world. You know, I look back with fond memories growing up in the neighborhood that I grew up in before my father passed when I was 12 and everything changed and went to hell in a handbasket. But those 12 years, the wonder years, and they were truly wonder years. So it's not like I'm just reading out of a history book and saying how great America was. I can honestly tell you, based upon the first 12 years of my life, I can tell you, she was all that in a bag of chips. As a young little black American, I thought America was all that in a bag of chips and more. Because first of all, I was taught by my father to love the country. But what was cool about that is that he didn't just tell me about all the wonders of America. Yeah, he told me about He had me to understand that there's good and there's bad and there's in between. There's gray matter too. But I understood that the good outweighed the bad. And the potential for even greater good outweighs the potential for greater evil. But it comes down to choices. The changes I saw happen after my father passed when I was 12 It was based on the changes that were chosen by the adults in the community. Okay? The new people that moved out, that moved in into the community after our good neighbors left, that came in, they came in with a whole other set of values. And that neighborhood became hell on earth. There were fewer, suddenly there were fewer intact families. And I have to credit my dad as one of the main reasons why to this very second I still really appreciate this country, love God, love my family, love the concept of the traditional family, etc., etc., etc., appreciate our Constitution, and so on and so on. But that was because of the impact that my dad had. And sometimes I shudder to think, oh my God, what would the impact or the outcome have been had I not had that dad? And so when you look at a lot of the people that are doing the crazy situations that you see, read about, hear about, I would venture to say that 90% or more of the cases they did not have a decent father or a good father or a great father in their lives to lay it on the law, to teach them about right from wrong, to teach them principles from the Bible, out of Proverbs, etc., etc., etc. Most of them don't have that. Most of them are told today, you ain't nothing. Well, they say even a worse word than that that begins with S, ends with T. You ain't that. You know? And so, yeah. And you ain't going to be nothing. And it's funny how so many of these people, young black boys, are brought up in that manner. And there's not a white man around them. It's usually their mammies doing this and other family members. And then they grow up somehow blaming the white man for their mentality and their hatred for the country. And it just... Well, they get the hatred from the country ironed in from school. Because no longer are schools concerned about educating the American students. It's not about that. It is about indoctrination, bringing forth new generations of soldiers of evil. Soldiers of destruction. And so when you have great cities like Columbus, which as a child I used to call it church land, because I used to go there every year, every summer, because it was the great Ohio State Fair. And so I got to spend a couple of weeks every summer with my aunt. And everybody went to church. I mean, it was as crowded with people going to church on Sunday as as it was on Monday when people were going to work. I'm dead serious about that. I mean, you'd see, you'd look up and down the neighborhood. On Sunday, everyone's pulling out the driveway, going to their various churches, the Episcopalians, the Methodists, the Catholics, the yada, yada, yadas, and so on and so on. And we all shared the same basic message. Because those were the waning years, at least my childhood, were the waning years of churches teaching about the Ten Commandments. The waning years. Yeah. And so we had no excuse. We were taught these things, so we had no excuse. And we knew as children, lightning would bump the stump if we did not live accordingly. And our parents found out. So, when that was stopped, then you had the guy, he was a doctor, oh my gosh, very famous doctor, came out real big in the 1950s and 60s, and many parents, Benjamin Spock, when he convinced parents to stop punishing their children, don't spank that child. when the Bible said, don't spare the rod. But you don't want to see little Alice cry, so don't do that. No. Don't bring about any discomfort to the child when they do wrong. You must just talk softly to them psychologically. And so, that didn't work. but they understood that it wouldn't work. See, the people, including Dr. Spock, the CIA, and other entities, they understood that those things would not work, but they understood also that the people would be gullible gullivers and buy into these lies and allow their families to be self-destructed. Because if you don't bring a child up in the right way when they become grown and they do have families, their families are not going to be based upon the principles that they should have been brought up upon. The principles aren't there. They're not inculcated into the mindset of the child. They're going to be drifting further away. And then they teach their children a watered-down version of what they were taught. And so on and so on and so on. And now you have wacky-de-backy cities whether it's Seattle, San Francisco, Salem, Oregon. I mean, goodness. Boston, the cradle of freedom. Still a physically beautiful city, but my gosh, the mentality there is demonic. And the family situation there is awful too. And you know what's so funny? when they talk about Midwestern values, you know, they bring it up like the Midwest is this great land of churches and just good folk, good folk, yada, yada. You might find that still in Iowa where 80% of the land in Iowa is dedicated to farming. Iowa's the number one farm capital of the nation. So you still might find those values on a normal basis in Iowa. And that's part of the Midwest. But for the most part, the Midwest, when it comes to these values, what did I tell you earlier? The cities that lead in being a family desert are in the great Midwest. Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, which I used to call Churchland, and other cities are not far behind. Atlanta, etc. And the South used to be this wonderful high moral land of churches and just good old Southern values. Yeah. Southern hospitality, they used to call it. But no more. But you do have pockets in America where the family is still very strong. Places like Tennessee, Alabama, parts of Texas, outside of the cities, even in Ohio, which is a red state. So you've got a red state with blue cities where the families are jacked up in the cities. But outside of the great cities, Ohio is still very red and very family oriented. And so that tells me, and I'm going to tell you again, that we the people need to come together and push back the blue darkness if we, you know, if you have a goal of seeing your nation restored. If you don't, don't get involved. You know, if you don't want to be involved in restoring the country, at the very least, just stay out of the way. Pretend that you're a piece of furniture somewhere and get out of our way. But we have no choice, my friends. PG time is over and we have no choice. And you can tell. See, there are two sets of people that are on the left. You have people, like I talk about, the 35% that are sold out. They believe in it 100% and they agree with the evil. It's called reprobate. You discern who they are and you leave them alone. But then there's that other third that in some cases seem just as evil as those who are in the reprobate column, but they have a spark of decency in their hearts because their goal is actually to do or see things better, but they've been misguided and have bought into the lies thinking that the leftist way is the right way to get to a good result. And those are the people that can be reached. And, you know, just looking at the political realm, see, the Republicans need to, you know, stimulate their brain cells when it comes to messaging and creativity and getting the truth out. If the truth were fully brought out to the American people, about the good aspects of the Trump administration, even with the problems. The midterm elections would not be as, you know, wouldn't be the nail-biter that I believe it is. That alone. And I'm saying that with the problems I could easily point out with the Trump administration and some of the handling and a lot of that mishandling has to do with who's surrounding President Trump because he has these advisors, man, Susan Wiles and others, Paula White, that gaggle of spiritual misfits. So when you surround yourself with people that don't have the best interest at heart, no matter how good your heart is, you can be led off the path. and you'll only get part of what you wanted to do that is good for the country. But, you know, sounding a bit pragmatic here, but I'd rather continue with the partially good, since I don't think Jesus is coming back before now in the midterms anyway, we might as well fight for this partially good, and fight like crazy for the improvements needed in not only the Trump administration, But in the governorships, the city governments, the county governments, etc. Get these wrong people out of government. And if you find a good church where they're teaching God's true principles that are centered around the Ten Commandments, go there. Be a blessing in that church. Thank God that you have a house of truth. and make sure that your children go there, and your children's children, etc., etc. That's how America will be rebuilt. And then, as we gain God's wisdom, then we will more wisely deal with the issues of the day, in our fight to truly make America great again. Not for our glory, not for the glory of the President, but for God's glory, for His purposes only. And see, when your mission is God's mission, and when your nation's mission is God's mission, guess what? You have a blessed nation. You have a joyful nation. You have a happy nation. And so, it would behoove us to go ahead and do the right thing and fight for the right thing. Now, I talked about the people that are in the middle. that many times are on the wrong side of the law. Not the law, but as far as political issues, moral issues, etc. etc. One of them is Van Jones. And several years ago, I got the chance to meet him. Okay? My wife and I were at CNN, invited to be there, etc., etc. And Van Jones and I got into a conversation. And it's as if the people that were there, they kind of parted away from us and they were like encircling us. And we were just standing there talking. And he and I come from the opposite ends of the political spectrum. And many of the things I said to him, I've said to even family members. And not once did he ever attack me. And some of the things that I said, he said, you know, you make a good point there. I can understand that. Even when he vehemently disagreed on something, he let me know. But he says, well, I can understand. Hmm. That's worth thinking about, etc., etc. And I walked away and I remember telling my wife, I said, man, he doesn't seem to be just totally like a lot of the hosts there at CNN. You could tell they had really dark hearts. And it's so funny, my wife would say, boy, you see, they have all the lights on in the building, but yet it's dark. I mean, Wolf Blitzer, all those guys, they were like dark little things walking around. And so, yeah. Yeah. And so that's why I'm saying it's people like that that can be reached. Because while they're on the wrong side, it seems as though deep inside and sincerely, they actually want what's good. But they've been fooled into thinking that the wrong way of dealing with issues is the right way to get to what's good. And I think that Van Jones is in that camp. Jay, if you can bring up this... And Van Jones had a few words to say about particular issues. And I'd just like you to pop that in. And this is just an example, folks, of an individual who I know is misled, but … Attached. To the global business thing and are helping drive this thing. And just from a purely from a foreign policy perspective, these people are incredibly dangerous. Abdul, who, you know, I work with at CNN. I know Abdul. His positions on Israel and foreign policy are insane. They're not reasonable reactions to anything. Look, some Democrats are going to say that we should condition military aid, that Israel's gone too far in Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon. We're going to put some conditions on. I think that's a defensible position if you're a Democrat. That's not Abdul's position. There are people who say we. Shouldn't be giving military aid. That's understandable, but I think indefensible because it's not charity. We're building a strong defense sector here, and Israel is protecting a lot of Western interests in that region. But I can get why you would say no more aid. They got to pay their own way. That's not Abdul's position. Abdul's position is a total and complete arms embargo against the state of Israel that including defensive weapons. That's an insane position. That says if. Israel wants to pay for interceptors to stop a rocket coming from Iran or coming from Hezbollah or coming from us, an interceptor, we should deny them the right to buy the interceptors to knock down rockets going at Israeli children, women, men, babies. That's an insane position. And by the way, Barack Obama thought that the Israeli people were in such a tough neighborhood they needed to be able to knock down rockets. So you're telling me you're smarter than Barack Obama, you have better ideas about foreign policy than Barack Obama, and you want to de-plug and take away Israel's, half the world's shoes, ability to defend themselves. That's an insane position. The problem is some of the people with the worst ideas in the world have attached themselves to this thing and are helping to drive this thing. and just purely from a foreign policy perspective, these people are incredibly dangerous. But yeah, see, that's an example of what I'm talking about. Is Van Jones a conservative Republican? No. But on issues, and I find this increasingly more often, I see him popping up and having reasonable views on certain subjects. Now, the average Democrat, the average leftist, They're in favor of just allowing Israel to be wiped out. Anti-Semitism is fluid throughout the Democrat Party. And even on the woke right. But he has enough reasonableness to say, you know what? Full-throttled anti-Israeli mentality is insane. Now, if he had a totally corrupted heart, he wouldn't even be reasonable enough to come to that conclusion. And these are the kind of people I think that can be reached. Those are the kind of people you try to have patience with and reason with them as far as you are led by God, as far as humanly possible. But, you know, they can at the very least be allies. if they are reached the right way, they can at least be political allies when it comes to voting for what's good for our republic. And so that's just an example of what I'm talking about. The difference between someone like that, who is totally unreasonable, or someone like a Van Jones who is, in some instances, can come to reasonable solutions or viewpoints on certain issues. Now back to, let's circle back to the family. You have a lot of people, especially amongst females, who are dead set against the traditional family. Dead set against it. And that's pretty sad because there are a lot of men in American society who would love to have a family. And many of them, because of this mentality that is so strong in Western nations, not only in the United States, by the way, but in Australia, England, and other nations, men have had to leave. Young men, that is. If they wanted to find a nice wife, you know, before they were old or something, they felt they had to leave. And then they say, well, I dare not bring her back to the United States because she will gain that kind of a mentality that I ran away from simply because I wanted a family, etc., etc. So this is why, another reason why I continue to say that we who understand these issues need to band together to reverse this course. And you reverse this course through truth. And that's the only way it's going to happen, my friends, is by telling the truth about the issues of the day and standing on it, not backing down. One of the reasons why the 1-2% population Muslims have made the inroads that they have, one of the reasons, is because they don't back down. They are what they are and they don't switch. They don't divert. They will lie to get in and pretend. But they don't become of those that they're trying to defeat while pretending to be their friend. Whereas, too often on our side, amongst conservatives and Christians, when they compromise with those who are hell-bent on destroying this country, they sometimes... take on part of the mentality of those who are trying to destroy the church, the country, etc. in order to prove that they love them, that they can be friends with them. And that's the difference between Muslims and your average Christian and your average conservative. No one said that you can't be nice to someone as you're trying to convey righteous ideas. But if you become unrighteous with them in order to try to convince them to come on our side, you're compromising. And when you compromise even just a little bit, you're a little bit, you're giving a little bit of an edge to those who are seeking to kill, steal and destroy our nation. You see, so there's no way around it. But these things are true. And so we have to, at the same time, pray for areas like Tennessee and Iowa and the red parts of Ohio and other states where you still have large pockets of the traditional family. We have to pray for these areas that they do not shrink, that they don't continue to shrink. Because I'm going to tell you this, that if the entire nation were to get in to become, let's say, conditioned to the point of an Illinois, of a Washington state, of an Oregon, of a California, of a New York. Guess what would happen? Of a Michigan. Guess what would happen? The country would, I guarantee you, the country would be destroyed. It would be done. It would be total curtains. It would be over, over, over. excuse me, and that's it. And so, again, we have no choice see and morality affects everything including banking where you've got nine major banks under scrutiny for political bias against people they found out were conservative patriots and or christians Now, how do you think that people that are of the leftist persuasion, why do you think that they even felt or believed that they could get away with discriminating against people, customers like this, in such a manner? How do you think they got into that mentality to think that they could get away with it? I'll tell you why. Because people on the so-called right have exhibited a huge. Community of weakness. Wimpus Americanus apologeticus, if you will. That is why, in the same vein, in England, in London, which is now 15% Muslim, 15 freaking percent, which still says that they're not the majority, but guess what? They are acting like they are the freaking majority. Well, you cannot, as a London-born... you cannot walk your dog down the street because the Muslims have said the dogs are dirty and we don't like seeing them and you better not walk your dog. And the white politicians tell the white British bobbies to go and arrest anyone from England who walks their doggy down the street. Well, I tell you what, you don't want us to have dogs? Yes. Then next time, tomorrow, you will see a pig. And on that note, I thank you because now that I see that my time is up, thank you so much for your time. And as I always urge you, please pray for your nation, pray for your family, your friends, and even your enemies that they get it right before it's too late. And treat others the same way you want to be treated. And don't be afraid to stand up for what is right. Because if you don't stand up for what is right, you will fall for anything like a chopped down tree. Until next time, I'm Ron Edwards. Excelsior! That's all, folks. Tags that stage right.
