Kamala on Call Her Daddy
Politics By Faith, October 8, 2024
October 08, 2024

Kamala did a softcore porn podcast because that's her base. They talked about abortion of course because that's all her base cares about. I compare that worldview with what I saw in CA this weekend visiting pro-life pregnancy centers. It's a world of difference.


My goodness, Slater, what is your commitment to this podcast? I apologize, but I'm grateful that you're here. Politics by Faith brought to you by the Patriot Gold Group. I've been traveling, and I'll get to that in just a second here about why. I want to talk about this clip from Kamala Harris. She was on the Call Her Daddy podcast. This podcast is a advice podcast, an adult advice podcast, really bad advice. By the way, this is not Dr. Laura. You don't have to listen to any of her show to know the kind of person she's a, you know, it's a very modern girl boss, feminist sleep around with everyone. If men can sleep around, then women can too, that whole thing. And people are like, well, why would Kamala go on such a dirty podcast? We're like, well, it's her base.

That's it. The demographics of this podcast are 70% women and 76% of the viewers are under the age of 35. So that's her people. That is literally her base. So Kamala is on this podcast.

Got a couple clips here. Let's start with this one. This is the weirdest thing that these people think this is some sort of like Hit or own or something I want to take a moment and can we try to think of any law That gives the government the power to make a decision I know it's gonna ask about a man's body. Let's know The draft. Okay let's sit around brainstorm. Let's start with the draft.

0:01:46
Let's start with the law that says the government can send you man off to die. Again the idea that these women Kamala and this podcast host think that this is some sort of brilliant point and it pains me that 70% of the audience, the women listening to the show, like don't hear anyone say the draft. The draft is a law that gives the government power over the male body. I guess I would also say vaccine mandates would be one.

0:02:19
I know in California, her state, Kamala's and many other states, they can castrate sex offenders. offenders now I thought of that one on the radio this morning and I was like well I mean it's it's true for all like criminals like if you break the law then the government has power over your body to put you in jail so like everyone I think it's like such a ridiculous point that that talking point like for the

0:02:43
pro-abortion people makes no sense at all so anyway that was a real own from Kamala on the podcast. She posted that by the way. This clip too. She posted these thinking that these were like really powerful moments for her. Here's another one. I do want to clarify something.

0:03:05
In the debate, former President Trump claimed that some states are executing babies after birth. Can you just clarify? That is not happening anywhere in the United States. It is not happening and it's a lie. Just, it's a bold-faced lie

0:03:27
that he is suggesting that can you imagine, can you imagine he is suggesting that women in their ninth month of pregnancy are electing to have an abortion? Are you kidding? That is that is so outrageously inaccurate and it's so insulting to suggest that that would be happening and that women would be doing that. Yes it definitely happens. So what Trump was talking about in the debate,

0:04:01
we'll do the quick of this, so maybe this can help you spread the word if we do this quickly. Trump was talking about in the debate the execution of a baby after it's born, referring to failed abortion attempts.

0:04:10
Now I would think that if someone tries to get an abortion, that it would never fail at it. I couldn't imagine a baby being born after an abortion attempt, but it happens quite a bit. Arizona passed a law in 2017 requiring all doctors to report on born alive cases.

0:04:28
And from August 2017 to December 2017, it happened 10 times, where the baby again was attempted to be killed in the womb, but came out born alive 10 times in just a couple of months in Arizona. That's a lot.

0:04:39
In Florida in 2018, there were six cases. In Minnesota in 2021, there were four. I would think it would be zero, but it actually quite a bit. So the question is, what do you do with the baby after you tried to kill it in the womb,

0:04:52
it came out alive, uh-oh, what do we do now? So what they do is not keep it alive. And that's what you hear, the baby is made comfortable. Right, so they either, the baby just let it suffocate on its own or starve or whatever, they don't keep the baby alive like they would

0:05:09
any other baby. Trump called that executing the baby, whatever you want to call it, that's what it is. So Kamala would be like, it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. So we have like, of course it happens. I think it definitely happens.

0:05:20
And it's one of those things that's so oddly surreal. Like we're a year after the October 7th attacks, the terrorist attack against Israel. We just did a special on this that we put here on the podcast as well. We made a quick little point of the fact that when Hamas killed 1,000 over 1,000 people and kept hostage to hundreds more, including still four Americans, they killed 11 Americans, took 10 hostage, and

0:05:51
now there's still four hostage today. But then people are like, oh, Hamas raped people. People in our media in America were like, oh, come on, there's no proof. There's no proof. It's like, what are you talking about? Like, how absurd?

0:06:03
Oh, yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right. They would never. Let's not besmirch the terrorists who just murdered a bunch of people in cold blood. Let's not think that they would ever stoop to that low. Like, ridiculous. Same thing with the Haitians eating cats.

0:06:19
I had the same surreal feeling. People were like, oh, that's so outrageous. I'm like, what? Like, of course Haitians eat cats. Like, Haitians eat cats? Like, what are you, like, there's people who eat cats all over the world.

0:06:28
Oh, that's never happened. It happens all the time. There's a whole Wikipedia page about cat meat. Like, the weirdest thing that people say these things that happen all the time never happened. And say, New York had a law until 2019 when the Democrats took over in New York. But New York had a law in your state that said when an abortion is to be performed after the 20th week of pregnancy, so it does happen, a physician other than the physician performing the abortion shall be in attendance to take control of and to provide immediate medical care

0:06:55
for any live birth that is the result of the abortion. Weird, why would that be a law in New York if that thing never happened? The reason I was traveling, I was in New York, or no, California. I was speaking at two different pro-life pregnancy centers, one up in Grass Valley, California, outside Sacramento, and then another in San Diego. And one of the points I made, one of many, is that this stuff's all very, very normal. It's been around for a long, long time.

0:07:27
Even this specifically, the making comfortable of an unwanted baby after it's born. They did it all the time in ancient times. In ancient Rome, they called it exposure. They would leave a baby alive outside of the walls of the city. And the baby would die from the elements or an animal or something. And no one ever thought it was bad.

0:07:47
No one ever wrote about it. We don't have any records of anyone, you know, any ancient writers talking about how horrible this was. In fact, the founding of Rome, the story goes, was Romulus and Remus, who were abandoned by their mother. And they went on to found the city of Rome.

0:08:02
So it can't be all bad to abandon your kids outside in the wilderness like this. So this has happened forever. It still happens today. And we used to be a Christian country. We're not anymore. And the less of a Christian country we are, the more of a pagan country we become.

0:08:19
And the more of a pagan ethic we have. And the more pagan we are, we elect pagans and then they legalize or even encourage more pagan things. It's like zero surprise by any of this. So don't buy the, like this fake aghast, that's a lie that never happens. Happens all the time.

0:08:42
It was great to be in these two wonderful places in California. Grass Valley, I've never been to Grass Valley before, it was great. Out in the country, just as red, it's just like as red as can be, just happens to be in California. I stayed at a family's house,

0:08:57
I usually stay at people's houses, not hotels, and stayed at this people's house and their address was like 6842 Rough and Ready Highway. Rough and Ready Highway? How awesome is that for a highway? Rough and Ready Highway.

0:09:11
So then I land, the plane lands, and I text the guy who I'm staying with, and he says, oh hey, make sure that when you type in the address, you type in rough and ready highway and not rough and ready road, because that'll send you to two different places.

0:09:25
I say, hold on, you have two of them? You have two rough and ready roads? My kind of place. Turns out there's a town called Rough and Ready, California, named during the gold rush and this town ceded or succeeded Seceded from the Union in 1850 called themselves the great republic of rough and ready

0:09:47
It's great. They were joined pretty quickly after but whatever every year they still celebrate secession day in rough and ready, California So there's hope in California Just need to tap into that rough and ready spirit But this one the first time I spoke at in Grass Valley, they saved the lives of 161 babies last year. And of all the women who go into their pro-life center

0:10:09
to get a sonogram or a pregnancy test or whatever, all for free by the way, nothing's free at Planned Parenthood but at these pro-life centers, everything's free. Of all the women who walked in abortion-minded, they walked out saying, I'm not going to get an abortion. 89% walked out.

0:10:23
Isn't that amazing? So all the women who walked in, 89% of them walked out saying, no I'm gonna choose life. That's astounding. If you told me 2% of the women walk out choosing life, I would think that's amazing. Well done. Well done everyone. But 89%? Fantastic. So at the banquet, I met the husband and wife who first started the center, 1985. And I was like, tell me what, like what happened?

0:10:56
And they said, well, let me tell you. So they took a mission trip to China and not just a mission trip, they sold everything they owned. They sold everything they owned to move to China and they smuggled in Bibles.

0:11:07
So they're in China for as long as God wants them to be in China. They had no ties back to America. And they went to a zoo in China. And in one exhibit there were these jars, these glass jars full of fluid with different stages of animal fetuses.

0:11:23
Feti, fetuses. Right, here's like a little elephant, then bigger, bigger, right? Monkey, little monkey. And the last display was of a human. So a human fetus at different weeks inside the womb. And it was so appalling to them that right then and there,

0:11:40
they decided to dedicate their ministry, their life, to pro-life in particular. So time went on and they ran out of money and they came back to Grass Valley, California and started the center. And I kept pressing them, I kept saying,

0:11:52
I said, like, what do you mean you had no money? They said, we ran out of money, that's why we came back from China. Ran out of money. I said, what do you mean you had no money? Like, oh, we didn't have any money.

0:12:02
I said, but what do you mean you had no money? I was like, what did you do? Like, well, we got a job. Yeah, but you had no money. Yeah, we actually had no money. We had two kids, too.

0:12:15
No money? Where did you live? I was still in the basement of a friend's house for a couple months. So we got a paycheck, could rent a house. There's like so nonchalant, I can't express the nonchalantness about it. Selling everything they own, having no money, and just being like, oh, you know,

0:12:33
got a job, rented a place, figured it out. It's like so matter of fact. Meanwhile, I'm over here like, where's the money? Keep more hoard, more money, more money, money! Man, God is good. God provides.

0:12:52
And I just want to bring that story up here because we live in a pagan culture where someone running for president can go on a wickedly deceived slash sinful podcast and talk about killing babies and this is all, you know, you can vote for her. Like this is all in the open and many people will but there are so many good people who are doing so much including selling everything they own to support life and that's a beautiful thing and I just wanted to share this this all-in dedication that's what I saw from this

0:13:35
There was a woman at this pregnancy center banquet, Desiree, and she was one of those women who went into the center planning to have an abortion, and she didn't. Now she has three kids, and her and her husband were there, and it was wonderful. And in her story, she said, God renewed my joy of children. I think that's such a wonderful line. God renewed my joy of children.

0:14:04
So she was deceived by the world. Children are a burden or inconvenient or whatever, kill it. But no, God renewed my joy of children. Isn't that wonderful? And I just think of that couple in China praying. And if God could have given them a vision of,

0:14:20
hey guys, so glad you're here in China. In 40 years, you're going to meet this woman Desiree and you're going to meet her child whose life you saved because you started a center. And there's going to be thousands of more children along the way too, but in particular, you're going to meet Desiree at this dinner. That's going to be really nice.

0:14:41
It's like, wow, that is a life well lived. I'm so grateful for these pro-life centers. They're all over the country. So just search for your town, pro-life center, there's one near you. Please help them. Volunteer, money, they have classes for helping parents, you can help out with that.

0:14:58
There's so much need obviously and they do such wonderful, wonderful work. I'll tell you in California, they're up against it. San Diego just passed an ordinance that says you've got to be a certain number of feet away from an abortion center. There's 13 in San Diego I think. In Grass Valley, just a little Grass Valley, there's five within a 50-mile radius,

0:15:16
five abortion centers. And in San Diego, I think there's 13. So in San Diego, you're no longer allowed to speak outside of an abortion center at 50 decibels. 50 decibels is a quiet refrigerator or a light rainfall. So you can't speak on the sidewalk louder than the sound of a light rainfall or you'll get arrested. But that's what they're up against and they're not fighting. I want to share this before I go. One last thing on abortion. I didn't do this on the radio. I thought maybe it was a little much for the radio audience. This is a horrible person. His name is Al something he is what was one of the what is his name who doesn't matter

0:16:10
he is one of the it's like a Hugh Hefner kind of figure right and he was asked why there are a lot of Jewish people overrepresented in pornography. And here's what he said. He said, the only reason that Jews are in pornography, by the way, if there's any kids listening now, not if there's any, the only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think Christ S U C K S Catholicism, S U C K S pornography thus

0:16:44
becomes a way of defiling Christian culture. And as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream, as it is no doubt consumed by those very same wasps, white Anglo-Saxon Protestants, its subversive character becomes more charged. So it's all very intentional by Satan working through people, of course. I made the point during these speeches that people love abortion because they hate God.

0:17:16
It's very simple. That's the root of it. There's lots of other reasons why. People love abortion because they hate God and God loves life. God hates death. But if you hate God, then you love death and you will love abortion.

0:17:28
If you love God, then you'll love life. It's very simple. I'll end with Psalm 25. I've been thinking about it the last couple of days. This is the second verse, second stanza. Make me to know your ways, O Lord.

0:17:43
Teach me your path. I can't help but think of this couple selling everything, going to China, relying on a verse like this. Make me know your ways, O Lord. Teach me your paths. Lend me in your truth.

0:17:56
Lead me, excuse me, lead me in your truth and teach me. For you are the God of my salvation. For you I wait all the day long. Or it's what I want to do. I want to drown you out and do what I want to do. And Psalm 25 says, no, no, no.

0:18:10
Make me to know your ways. Teach me your path. Lead me in your truth. Teach me, God, please. You're the God of my salvation. I'd be nothing without you. For you I wait all the day long. May that guide us every day. Mike Slater dot locals dot com. Transcripts are commercial free on the website. Mike Slater dot locals dot com.

Fox & Friends

We were on Fox & Friends talking about all of the train robberies in CA. It's so bad the train company says they may have to ride right THROUGH Los Angeles entirely and never slow down lol. What a joke this state it.

That link is a bit odd, I've attached a short video to get the gist.

In short, The rich get richer, the poor get the handouts and the middle class gets out of town.

This causes these progressive politicians to get even more entrenched.

We haven't hit rock bottom yet.

Boys to men, girls to women

How do you do it? Advice please!

Dean Abbott,
"Why contemporary relations between the sexes are so messed up. The problem starts with men because men lead, the masculine pursues and initiates, and problems always start at the level of leadership.

Most men aren't taught that a relationship with a woman means accepting responsibility. No one tells us that a woman represents not only pleasure, but obligation.
The fact that having a relationship with a woman means responsibility and obligation never enters many men's minds.

When these men enter into a relationship with a woman, they are overwhelmed by her needs, her feminine communication style, and her emotions.
Moreover, he unconsciously resents her for having needs at all since he has been conditioned to see her solely as a source of pleasure.
When her anger and disappointment over his irresponsibility gets intense enough, he splits in search of another woman.
He mistakenly believes the problem wasn't his attitude nor that it is a ...

Morning Motivation, April 21, 2023

I found a way to easily transcribe the podcasts, so I will post them here first before they go out to iTunes and the rest.

Good morning. Welcome to The Morning Motivation, brought to you by Public Square and Patriot Gold Group. I'm grateful you're here. I was reading a sermon by the great Puritan preacher John Owen in the mid-1600s. I'm so fascinated by this time period, 1600s, early 1700s. We focus a lot on our founding fathers. I think that the Tea Party movement and just conservatism in general has focused a lot on the founding fathers, and that's amazing, but I'm very fascinated by our founding grandfathers or great-grandfathers, the people who created the culture that our founding fathers were raised in.

0:00:44
Isn't that a fascinating era? We got like 1776, like that's great, I love it, I want to know more, I don't know nearly enough. But what about the 1720s? What was going on there? Or the late 1600s? What was going on in America at that time? And you know, we've all heard of the Puritans, but you ...

Inflation and ANGER

I am angry and frustrated. With our Rulers. For getting us in this terrible economy. It doesn't have to be this way.

How could they never learn from past mistakes! This is ANCIENT history, stop printing money...yet, after COVID, we never printed more. Amazing.

Please leave a 5-star review on Itunes. We have a ton of momentum, this is about to break through! Thank you!

Also, I haven't done any lives anywhere becauase we're hosting a daily TV show "Road to Misterms" on thefirsttv.com, and it's taken all of my extra time. And my wife is giving birth any day now, so...it's been a lot around here. But after the midterms, time will free up.

I've gone back and forth on the death penalty many times over the years. I've recently come down on the other side.

Should the Parkland murderer have gotten the death penalty or life in prison?

You were terse and dismissive in this morning's 7:25 Eastern time call with the Man with four step children applying for Naturalization from his Naturalized U.S. Wife of Philippine descent. You should be more considerate of history about America's relationship such as with the Philippine People, which is quite notable with intrinsic factors which should have favorable weight in consideration the Filipino propensity to immigrate and become American Citizens.

"The Resident Commissioner of the Philippines was a non-voting member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1907 until the Philippines gained independence in 1946. This role was established under the Philippine Organic Act of 1902, allowing the Philippines to have representation in Congress, similar to current non-voting members from U.S. territories."

Don't be so apparently xenophobic and stop misrepresenting American (and Christian while you're at it) History in omission through culpable ignorance.

Memorial Day And Peace Deals
Politics By Faith, May 25, 2026

We give a humble tribute to 13 service members who we add to the list of Americans who gave their lives fighting for this country. We also go over Rudyard Kipling's poem "Recessional" on this Memorial Day.

Welcome to Politics by Faith, our Memorial Day edition today. This is where we take the news of the day and we bring it to the Bible so we can walk away with peace and perspective. There's new headlines every day, but Ecclesiastes says there's nothing to do under the sun. So thanks for being here to get the true story, story of the day today, Memorial Day and peace deals. Just getting news last day or so about a new Iran peace deal possibility. I don't know the details. 

No one does. A lot of commenting on things that no people have seen. And there's been a lot of these deals, a lot of back and forths. We've seen this a bunch already. I'm kind of, you know, wake me when it's over. Like, let me know when we really have a deal and everyone signed a deal and all that stuff. 

As it relates to Memorial Day, I haven't really heard anyone talk about the Americans who have died in this effort. 13 Americans have died. Six in Kuwait when an Iranian drone strike hit one of our ports, our bases, command center. One in Iraq, there was an attack in Iraq, six crew members died. This was a military refueling aircraft crashed. And then Saudi Arabia, a service member was killed on an attack on our air base there. 

Let me read their names here. Captain Cody Cork from Winter Haven, Florida. Sergeant First Class Noah Tietjens from Bellevue, Nebraska. Sergeant First Class Nicole Amore from White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Sergeant Declan Cody from West Des Moines, Iowa. Major Jeffrey O 'Brien from Waukee, Iowa. 

Chief Foreign Officer Robert Marzan from Sacramento, California. Sergeant Benjamin Pennington from Glendale, Kentucky. Major John Klinner from Auburn, Alabama. A lot of people who are against this Iran war effort, and I get it, talk a lot about the money, how much it's costing, and that's a concern, of course. This has also cost 13 lives and we should know that. Now, I believe a noble effort, what we've done in Iran here last, however long it's been, a couple of months. 

We can't let Iran have nuclear weapons. Donald Trump has been talking about this since like the eighties. He talked about Iran not having a nuclear weapon on the escalator speech. When he first announced in 2015, coming down Trump tower, the escalator, he talked about how we can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon. So this isn't like some shocker, like, oh wow, Trump hates Iran. Like he doesn't want, like, no. 

We've known this forever. I'm for this effort to stop them from having him and to stop them from being a thorn in our side. Our national security strategy, the document talks about not having the Middle East be the center of our universe anymore of our national security concerns. Like why are we so focused on the Middle East all the time? And Iran is one major reason. There's two parts. 

in particular, that I want to read here from the Middle East section of, it's like a 30 page document, the National Security Strategy. And part of the document says, for half a century, American foreign policy has prioritized the Middle East above all other regions. And that's because the Middle East for decades has been the world's most important supplier of energy. There was a prime, like superpower competition going on, and that was ready to smash. into the wider world and even into America. Now, the fact that we are now the global oil superpower, taking a lot of energy, or literally a lot of focus away from the Middle East, that's been great. 

Second reference in this National Security Strategy says, we want to prevent an adversarial power from dominating the Middle East, its oil and gas supplies, and the choke points through which they pass. while avoiding the forever wars that bogged us down in the region at great cost. Donald Trump does not want a forever war. And he, the point of this is so that they don't control these choke points. Now they have for these last couple of weeks, but the point is long -term, we don't want that. And we've talked before, we don't have to do it all here. 

I don't want to get too off base for Memorial Day, but this administration has locked down every other choke point around the world that exists to protect America and the free world. Let's get a peace deal so we can open up that straight. I'd prefer if the Iranian regime was done for once and for all. I don't know if that will happen in the near term. It doesn't look like it so far. The Iranian people never rose up. 

They didn't know that. I don't blame them. I'm not like, wow, it's their fault. I'm not, I'm not blaming them. Right. The regime killed 35 ,000 of their Patriots just a couple of weeks before this whole thing started. 

I'm currently reading Gulag Archipelago and the whole opening couple of chapters are all about how the government just picks. people up off the street, anyone and everyone for even having a hint of being against the regime and how everyone's spying on their neighbors. And the littlest thing you could do against the government, they'll come and they'll grab you and they'll sweep you up and give you 10 years. And that's it. No matter who you were, what you were doing, it doesn't matter. And that Gulag Archipelago scenario, it's not far off from the reality in Iran. 

It's really easy for us in America to be like, well, just rise up. Like we did 250 years ago. Like that's it. Um, they also don't have guns, so kind of hard for them to rise up. I'm also for this Iran war. And again, the last thing I'll comment on Iran really big picture is, um, hurting Iran hurts China, which is the main goal period in foreign policy was. 

So what's broken about this situation and Iran and Memorial Day war war is awful. And it's the inevitable reality living in a fallen world. C . S. Lewis wrote an essay, it was actually a sermon, 1939, called Learning in Wartime. And he was talking to these students, and he said, he was answering the question, because people were asking, like, how can we be studying? 

How can we be sitting here learning, going to school, going to college, when there's a war going on, right? People felt, there's a lot of people even today and then, like very urgent, people are on the edge. And I love what C . S. Lewis said, he said, this war, and let me read the quote. He said, this war, creates no absolutely new situation. 

It simply aggravates the permanent human situation so that we can no longer ignore it. But human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search for knowledge and beauty would never have begun. We are mistaken when we compare war with normal life. Life has never been normal. Even those periods which we think most tranquil, like the 19th century, turn out on closer inspection to be full of crises, alarms, difficulties, and emergencies. 

Plausible reasons have never been lacking for putting off all merely cultural activities until some imminent danger has been averted or some crying injustice put right. But humanity long ago chose to neglect those plausible reasons. They wanted knowledge and beauty now and would not wait for the suitable moment that never comes. There's a lot of this today. We expect the world to be perfect. 

We expect everything to be normal. We expect things to be safe and secure. And when they're not, We're all like, ah, what are we going to do? The world's coming to an end. I don't know if I can do it. I can't even. 

It's like, no, no, it's always been like this. This is the, this is the normal. So what are you gonna do? Wait around until what? Until when? And war is normal. 

It's awful. And it won't stop until we're in heaven. This is the point of the podcast when we usually go over to the Bible. And I, I sort of want to do that today, but, um, I want to do it via a poem on this Memorial Day. On the radio show the other day, we read an easier poem, Henry. Henry Wordsworth, Henry, was Henry Wordsworth, was it Longfellow? 

I think it was Longfellow. His Decoration Day. Let me make sure I get that right. Wordsworth, I wish I'd tell you the right poem to read. Yeah, yeah. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Decoration Day. 

Yeah. But I want to read a different one here today. Well, the Longfellow one's so great. Your Silent Tense of Green, talking to the, people who have died in service. Your silent tents of green we deck with with fragrant flowers. Yours. 

the suffering been. The memory shall be ours. " That's the last line of that poem. It's great. But I want to start here or end here instead with Kipling's recessional. He wrote, God of our fathers, which is Exodus 3 .15. God also said to Moses, say this to the people of Israel. The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob has sent me to you. So The God of your fathers, this is my name forever. Lord of our far -flung battle line, British Empire, big empire, far away, distant, all God ordained, right? So Lord of our far -flung battle line, beneath whose awful hand We hold dominion over palm and pine. Awful here means like awesome, awe -inspiring. So it's beneath your God, your awesome hand that we hold dominion, control over palm and pine, meaning different climates around the world. Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, lest we forget, lest we forget. The whole point of this poem is do not forget everyone that God is the source of all good things. God is the source of all of our prosperity. The tumult and the shouting dies. The shouting of victory too. The tumult of war, but it all passes. The captains and the kings depart. They die as time goes on, but still stands thine ancient sacrifice. So God, you remain. and humble and a contrite heart." That's Psalm 51 17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart. Oh God, you will not despise. 

Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, lest we forget, lest we forget. Far called, our navies melt away, on dune and headland sinks the fire. So again, as time goes on, things will disappear. All the things that we think are so important. Lo, all our pomp of yesterday is one with Nineveh and Tyre. 

All the celebrations that we have of our great victories, it's all going to go the same way of Nineveh. which doesn't exist anymore, and also places of judgment from God. Judge of the nations, spare us yet, lest we forget, lest we forget. If drunk with sight of power, we loose wild tongues that have not thee in awe. I think that's my favorite line of this poem. If drunk with sight of power, we loose wild tongues that have not you in awe. 

So if we get drunk with power, If we let loose people, leaders, who don't understand that you are, again, the source of all that is good, who do not have you in awe, who do not hold you in esteem, God, woe to us. Such boastings as the Gentiles use or lesser breeds without the law, Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, lest we forget, lest we forget. For heathen heart that puts her trust. Oh, this is so good. For heathen heart. that puts her trust in reeking tube and iron shard, meaning weapons. 

So who's that heathen heart? Not the Christian heart, but the heathen heart, the pagan heart that puts their trust in weapons of war. All valiant dust that builds on dust. Genesis 3 .19 says, by the sweat of your face, you shall eat bread till you return to the ground for out of it you were taken for you are dust and dust you shall return. So the weapons and the warriors, but the weapons in particular are dust that just builds on top of the dust that is us. And guarding calls not thee to guard. 

So God, it's all you. And if we don't call on you to help us, we got nothing. Woe to those who rely on the self versus relying on you, God. For frantic boast and foolish word, thy mercy on thy people, Lord. I love that's the last stanza. I love that ending because it ends with a plea to God, right? 

Every other stanza ends with, lest we forget, lest we forget. But the last line is a call to God, your mercy on your people, Lord, please. It's not our enemies that we need to worry about. It's forgetting God that we need to worry about. Same for America. Same for us today. 

Same for the Israelites back then. Deuteronomy 6 says, then take care lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. Indeed, still today, thy mercy on thy people, Lord. YouTube . com slash at politics by faith. If you could subscribe over there, that'd be great.

How To Stop "Teen Takeovers"
Politics By Faith, May 22, 2026

Someone made up a new euphemism, the "teen takeover"! Also known as a "riot". How do we stop these? Should we arrest the parents? The Trump Administration thinks so, and can do it in DC.

Welcome to Politics by Faith. This is where we take the news of the day and we bring it to the Bible so we can walk away with peace and perspective. There's new headlines every day. Ecclesiastes says there's nothing new under the sun. Thanks for being here to get the true story. Welcome to our new set for if you're watching on YouTube. 

It's not new, it's a new angle, new background. So youtube . com slash at politics by faith. If you're watching on or if you're listening to on a podcast, you're just dying to see what could this new angle possibly look like? It sounds amazing. I need to see it. 

How can I see it? YouTube . com slash at politics by faith. It'd be hit subscribe. You could see it all the time. Thanks for being here. 

Story of the day. Teen takeovers. What's really going on here? First of all, who came up with this term? Teen takeovers? What about that euphemism for a riot? 

It's a riot or looting. We had a gentleman call in today who was actually on his way to court. Why was he on his way to court? Because his business, like a trampoline park, was the victim of a teen takeover. And I guess online, and this guy said like a week's notice, they're like, everyone we're meeting here. And it was the, it was the guy's trampoline park. 

So the big day came and the manager wouldn't let any of these kids in. So there were so many hooligans out in the parking lot that the police came and they cited the manager. for causing a public disturbance. customer that they didn't go but also once word spreads that this is this kind of establishment who wants to have their you know seven -year -olds birthday party at this kind of place anymore we had another caller in New Jersey's a police officer there's a bunch of these teen takeovers on the beach on the shore in New Jersey he said I had to call out a hundred police officers to show up over time to take care of this teen takeover on the beach. So there was a lot of money. It was very dangerous. 

People getting stabbed, people getting shot. It's a riot. Teen takeover, just a little teen takeover, like a teen takeover, like you're going and like dancing. That's like the word teen takeover makes it seem like it's from an episode of Saved by the Bell. And Screech and AC are going to meet up and have a dance off as they take over the local, you know, whatever pinball arcade. No, these are riots. 

There's a video of a brawl of black youths at a Chipotle that's been going viral. You've seen plenty of these videos already. Nothing new about this one other than it's in D . C. And this is where Trump's law enforcement is in charge. D . 

C. is an incredible opportunity for MAGA to show the country how it can govern well on a local level, because the federal government runs or can, is now, running the city of DC. There's no way Republicans are gonna win the city council majority in Chicago. So MAGA's never gonna run Chicago. MAGA's never gonna become mayor of whatever, Oakland. So we're never gonna be able to run a city, and we haven't for 60 years, but we can run DC, and we are right now. 

Jeanine Pirro, she's the US attorney for DC, but she's also the DA. She's the local DA. in a weird quirk of governance. So this is a huge opportunity to govern well. Now in this situation, when it comes to crime, again, we've got like maybe like a hundred young people or so at this fight and the entire Chipotle is trashed, of course. Here's Jeanine Pirro. 

This was just a day or so, I believe, I think it was before this all happened. This is Jeanine Pirro here. And as we grapple with this problem, There is one area that hasn't been discussed. Parental involvement has been a noted gap in any discussion. And I am here to say, as the United States Attorney in the District of Columbia, that ends today. Starting today, my office will aggressively prosecute parents under D . 

C.'s curfew law and the specific statute that that we will use is a violation of DC Code 22 -811, and it involves contributing to the delinquency of a minor. This statute makes it unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate, or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts. The penalty is up to six months imprisonment. So if the evidence shows the parent knew or should have known, or permitted or failed to prevent participation, we're going to charge them. And if you drop your kid off and you fail to supervise them, or you let them skip school to join the chaos, you are going to face fines, court ordered classes and possible jail time. You okay with this? 

This law is already on the books. It is unlawful for an adult to invite, solicit, recruit, assist, support, cause, encourage, enable, induce, advise, incite, facilitate, permit, or allow. So I think that's all the words that are like that. They really did all the thesaurus on that one. So it's illegal to do any of those things for a minor to be truant from school, possess or consume alcohol or any controlled substance, run away from home to commit a criminal activity, to violate a court order, to violate any criminal order in DC, which is a penalty which constitutes a misdemeanor, and to join a criminal street gang. 

It's already the law. Bureau's not saying, hey, we should pass this law. It's already the law. And to prove that they're serious about this, the FBI is now offering $5 ,000 for information leading to any arrests about what happened in that Chipotle. So will people rat each other out? Will they snitch for 5K? 

It shows that the FBI is serious about this. So I had some hesitation about this idea, to be honest, although, like, My first instinct is like, yeah, you got to do it. Just, I think it's worth thinking through a little hesitation because what we're dealing with is our kids with no dads. So are we fine to have the government arrest mom or fine arrest or make her own classes or whatever? Now it's like, you got any other ideas? Yeah. 

Punish the kids. Okay. They go to juvenile detention. Great. I'm for that too. But what about the parents? 

Parents? There's no dad. Why is this a bad idea? Why will this not work? I know the media is going to find the most sympathetic looking mom in all of DC. The mom who's working two, three jobs trying to make ends meet. 

she's not able to be home at night because she's working that that second, third shift and the government's going to come in here and fine her a thousand dollars and knock her feet out from under her and she's going to be on more welfare now because she was trying so hard she was about to make it work and what little money she's got the government come in and took her away from her. My goodness you can see the left making sob stories out of all this. Listen the left is so good they when it came to illegal immigrants were deporting illegal aliens They made every illegal alien you could find the most sympathetic person. Even Kilmar. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The guy had a tattoo on his face. 

Human trafficker gangbanger Kilmar was a Maryland dad. So there was no problem making this all about mean old Republicans. So there's that to consider if you just want to give up on the idea and let the left win. Curious too if there's any, is there something in like the welfare law that says you can't commit a crime and still be on welfare? So I don't know. Maybe it's Hey mom, you're letting your kids do this, then we're gonna take your welfare next month as the punishment for your crime, right? 

So why don't you do what you can to get your kid to stop destroying Chipotle. We've talked before about holding parents accountable when it comes to school shootings. More parents are being charged with crimes regarding school shootings, but never for this behavior, breaking curfew, stuff like that. So pros and cons for sure. I'm curious if you're watching on YouTube, if you can leave your comment here. Should we arrest parents or should we charge the parents with a crime? 

for when their kids, let's be specific, trash a Chipotle. We had a few callers call in and say, it's not gonna change anything, so it's not worth doing. Their dad's already abandoned them, their mom's essentially abandoned them. It's not worth it. I'm like, all right. so but what are you proposing and i know like and i like my instinct is always to get to the root of a problem and i want to do that like we need to stop with all this broken family nonsense stop sleeping around we played a clip on the show this morning of a of a black guy in court and he had a shirt that said black excellence across the front big letters black excellence And the court goes, do you have any kids? 

The judge goes, do you have any kids? And he goes, yeah, I got four, five. What are their ages? Six, five, three, two, six months. Like the math didn't make sense. And he goes, where are they? 

He said, with their mothers. He said, how many mothers? Three. Five kids, three moms. And she said, that's not black excellence. Shame on you. 

There's no black excellence there at all. Wearing a shirt that says black excellence. It was a black woman judge. Called him out. It's good. We should be going after the dads, right? 

They're not far. They're around. And if you go after the mom, the mom will find the dad. He's the one who abandoned us. So that's the root of the problem, of course. The Washington Post has done this thing like, oh, there needs to be more late night hangout places, like rec centers for kids. 

The kids need to be in bed, all right? They need to be in bed. They need late night hangout places for one in the morning. They need to go to bed and they need jobs that they need to wake up early for so that they have reasons to live well. They need reasons to focus. Idle hands are the devil's workshop. 

That's not in the Bible. But second Corinthians three 11 is we hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy. They are busy bodies. Similar. Uh, so this is about, if you got nothing to do, then you meddle in other people's business, become a gossiper. 

Uh, Timothy says, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossipers and busybodies saying things they ought not to. So that's 1 Timothy 5 .13. So these are about words, like gossiping and stuff. But in the case we're talking about here, words and deeds. 

Bible says, you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you. This is Paul. On the contrary, we worked night and day laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. The kids who are doing all this, they are burdens on society. These kids need a job. 

They need work. They need something to do. They need a purpose and they need a family. They need parents who hold them accountable. They need dads who don't abandon them. They need guidance and direction and discipline. 

And they have none of it. And when parents don't parent, then the government's gotta parent. And that's not good. Let's go to the Bible. Proverbs 18, nine says, whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys. So what they mean is, so imagine two people, right? 

So you got one guy who's lazy and the other guy who's like a, like a robber who trashes Chipotle. He's this Bible verse says they're not literal brothers. They're of the same character. They're of the same kind, right? And the word destroy here in Hebrew means to ruin, to decay, to corrupt, to be rotted, and to be corrupt morally. So the lazy are in the same category as those who rob and pillage a community. 

Lazy people are a danger to themselves and others. And we see the fruit of all this brokenness. It's so sad. Now, yes, there are deep root issues we need to take care of here. As we say in the show all the time, there's thousands, Henry David Thoreau said, there's thousands hacking at the branches of evil to everyone who strikes the root. My nature is always to go to the root. 

We got to change this culture as quickly as possible. It's hard to change culture. It's possible, but it's hard, but there's different levels, right? So you have, you have your conscience, your family, church, and then government. When the conscience, this is what controls behavior. When the conscience is seared, when the family doesn't exist, And when no one goes to church, all we're left with is the government. 

And when the government does nothing, when they don't arrest or charge or punish anyone, then it's over. That's it. That's the last line of defense other than vigilantism, I guess. Right. So what's the government to do? I know we need deeper solutions, of course, but right here on this last level, on this government level, what do you do? 

Do you support this effort from Jeanine Pirro to give some accountability to the situation? Accountability. Our culture hates that because we've abandoned God. Of course, Romans 14, 12 says, so then each of us will give an account of himself to God. I'm talking about accountability. That's sure, it's true then, but there's also gotta be some accountability while still here on earth.
