Kilmar and Unjust Leaders
Politics By Faith, April 21, 2025
April 21, 2025

MS-13 is a Satanic gang. We have leaders in America who want to keep these gang members in America. What does that make these leaders?

Welcome to Politics by Faith. Thank you for being here. I have nothing to say at the moment about the Pope passing away. If you are inclined, I recommend a sermon by John MacArthur called The Pope and His Papacy from May 1st, 2005. He has a collection of many quotes from church leaders over hundreds of years about the papacy. Instead of that today, let's go to the Bible.

Talk of the town still is about Kilmar and many other gang members. I missed 13 gang members and trended out of Venezuela. The Supreme court issued an emergency order not to deport anyone else under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. I want to talk about MS-13 for a minute. MS-13 is a satanic cult, call it a gang,

transnational organization, whatever you want to call them. But I want to focus on the satanic part. This is the president of El Salvador, Bukele, talking to Tucker like a year or so ago. They did an interview. And here is what Bukele said about MS-13 as soon as Tucker brought him up.

MS-13 is one of the major gangs.

And they are satanicals.

That's the first thing that comes to mind. brought him up. MS 13 is one of the major gangs and they are satanic also.

The first thing that comes to mind, the president of El Salvador, MS 13, MS 13 actually started in America, but El Salvadorians are Salvadorians. First

thing that he says, MS 13 is one of the major gangs and they are satanic also.

Oh, oh, my minor story, minor detail. And then he goes on, he tells a story of this guy who was in the gang and he goes on, he tells a story of this guy who was in the gang and he killed many, many people. And he's in jail, but he left the gang. And he left the gang because he went to some event at some house and they were killing a baby.

And he said, what are we doing here? Why are we killing this baby? And the people said the beast wanted a baby. So we were killing a baby for the beast. The White House released this weekend a list of some crimes that were committed by Trinidad and Tobago and MS-13 gang members here in America.

And if I may, and there's kids, if there's any kids listening now, now's not a turn away, probably the whole episode. But here's the list. Raped and strangled 20 year old autistic woman to death in Maryland, hijacked four people to death, excuse me, hacked four people to death with machetes in a park in Long Island,

kidnapped sexually tortured and shot a teenage girl in Texas after she insulted their demon God, killed and mutilated a 17 year old Virginia stabbing him 16 times, cutting off his hands, beheaded and cut out the heart of a man in DC as part of a satanic ritual, raped and murdered a 13-year-old girl in California, sex trafficked young girls, including one who was 12, raped an 11-year-old girl in Brooklyn

while her brother was in the room, sex trafficked a 13-year-old in Maryland and Virginia, 26 times with a baseball bat, and then pressured homeless New Yorkers to undergo unnecessary surgeries, such as spinal fusion, in order to bolster their own fraudulent lawsuits. That was a weird one. We talked about that on the radio a bit today. But the ones that really stood out there,

I mean, they're all horrific, but are the satanic parts, like the cutting out of a guy's heart and burying him in a Washington, D.C. park? That's something. So I was looking for that story. Sure enough, it's real.

And I came across this Washington Post story from 2017. The headline is you feel the devil is helping you. MS-13 satanic history. The gangs devil horns hand sign is known as La la gara a Spanish reference to Satan's claws Some ms-13 members have told investigators that they committed their crime at the behest of the beast The beast wanted a soul an ms-13 member nicknamed diabolical said after killing a 15 year old girl who?

Disrespected his satanic shrine prosecutors told a Houston courtroom earlier this year. MS-13 member told of his initiation into the gang, We went to a cemetery and we swore an oath by drinking each other's blood. We took a knife and cut our hands and then drained our blood into a cup to drink it.

MS-13 is one of the major gangs.

And they are satanic also.

Which in a weird way I'm grateful for because it helps everyone see that this is spiritual warfare as well. MS-13 helps it be a little bit more obvious for us but still people refuse to see it. To go to Kilmar, Abrego Garcia, the left is saying he wasn't even a gang member. Wasn't even a gang member at all? Why are you guys making a big deal? He's innocent. He's innocent of everything. This is David Hogg is this guy's name. It is amazing. I can't believe that the Democrats are allowing this

guy to go out there and do things, but he wants to be the head of the democratic party,

which is like amazing, which is politically. I hope he is. This was not an MS 13 gang member and you damn well know that. Oh, come on. He was not. Okay. So the only administration admitted this was wrong. America America we have due process.

Alright, so they're saying he's not even a 13, MS-13 gang member. So just a little fun story on that. Among other proofs that we don't need to go into here because I want to get to Micah. But he went, the senator from Maryland went to go visit him in El Salvador, right? And someone took a picture of him. They took a picture of Kilmar. And you can see on his hand a tattoo. Well, it's tons of tattoos, but tattoos on his knuckles. Now, I don't believe anything I see online.

I assumed it was Photoshopped. Surely, surely this isn't, surely he doesn't really have that tattoo on his knuckle. That's not real, right? Because that's the whole pitch still, early on and still from some on the left, but everyone early on is that he's a Maryland father. He never should have been deported at all.

Like that was the mistake that he was deported at all. And when reality, and we've talked about this before, but the court just said immigration court said, you just can't deport him to El Salvador. You could deport him anywhere else. Just not El Salvador. That was the mistake.

Not that he was. I just didn't. walking down the street who shouldn't be deported at all. He, uh, there's an impression that he's just like a guy with a bulls hat on. He's like a bulls fan that we just deported off the street. Like, no, no, no. He was subject to be deported anywhere except El Salvador. But always not even a member of the gang on the in this picture on his knuckles.

It says MS-13. There's a marijuana leaf for M, a smiley face for S, a cross for one, and then a skull for three. Craneo is Spanish for skull, letter C, third letter. MS-13. So I thought it was fake. Then the president held up a picture

of a zoomed in of his knuckles. I thought that was fake. Because I don't know, I can't't believe you don't want to believe anything I want to be skeptical of everything Trump tweeted out This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States Because it's such a fine and innocent person

They said he's not a member of MS 13 Even though he's got MS 13 tattooed on his knuckles and to highly respected courts found that he was a member of MS-13, beat up his wife, etc. I was elected to take bad people out of the United States, among other things. I must be allowed to do my job, make America great again. Now his wife, the same one who he beat up and she put a restraining order on, posted a picture of her and Kilmar. And the captain said, I miss you very much. I won't stop fighting, I promise.

And she's standing there, she's taking a selfie or a picture in the mirror, not a selfie, she's taking a picture into a mirror. And he's standing behind her and he's got his arms wrapped around her like a bunch of lovebirds. And you can see his knuckles in this picture that she posted.

Now I say you can see his knuckles, I really should say you could see his knuckles.

If it weren't for the giant heart emoji that she placed conveniently right over the knuckle of his left hand. It's the only emoji she has in the picture. And wouldn't you know it, gosh gollylly she put it right over his left hand weird Like she's trying to hide something She could put it anywhere. She could have put the script with no emoji She could have put it above their heads Could have put it next to each of them could have put it over her foot could have put it over a belly to represent

The child they have together, but no put it right over his left knuckle

Huh? Could have put it over a belly to represent the child they have together, but no, put it right over his left knuckle. Huh.

But no, not a member of MS13, we're told. Let's go to the Bible. Micah 3. And I said, here now, oh, heads of Israel, excuse me, heads of Jacob. Now this is important because now Micah has turned his attention to the leaders, not just all the people. It starts off Micah 1 verse 2, hear you peoples, all of you.

Then verse, or chapter three. Uh, and I said, hear you heads of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel. Is it not for you to know justice? Like, aren't you the ones in charge? You who hate good and love evil. Who stripped the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones, who also

eat the flesh of my people, flay their skin from them, break their bones, chop them into pieces like meat for the pot, like flesh in the cauldron." So this is the leaders of Israel and Judah, how terrible they are of leaders. It's as if they were cannibals feasting on the flesh of their people. That's how awful of leaders they are. In MS 13's case, they actually do those things. I could do a longer research on this one. I don't think anyone is taking that literally. In Micah 3, I don't think the heads of Jacob and Israel literally flaying the flesh from people

and eating it. It's a metaphor? I think that's a metaphor. I think that's the most scholarly analysis is a metaphor. MS-13 actually does that. Like satanic cannibalism. Here's Bruce Walkie. Since the grinding poverty of the poor was leading them to an early grave, the prophet,

in a sustained metaphor, depicts the magistrates responsible for creating these conditions as acting like cannibals. This grotesque figure aims to awaken the conscience of the reprobates. The next verse, God will ignore these leaders, then they will cry to the Lord but he will not hear them. He will even hide his face from them at that time because they have been evil in their deeds. We have people in America who do unspeakable things. There's people who

have different lines of work that come in contact with the absolute horrors of society every day. People work in hospitals. People work in the court system who deal with just the dregs of society. People who work in some of the most extreme mental health asylums. People who work with foster care, some of the hor extreme mental health asylums, people who work with

foster care, some of the horrors of that system. Law enforcement, a friend of mine used to work the child pornography, child sex abuse cases. Horrible things, horrible. Like the worst. I don't know how they do it. We, majority of us are spared from knowing that this even exists. Every day it exists, every single day. We don't interact with it, hopefully ever,

but we don't deal with it like, so we just don't see it. We don't know it exists all the time, but it's there. The story just came out of a stepmother in Connecticut who kept her 32 year old stepson locked away in a room in the house for 20 years since he was 12 years old. Never left that room. He was, he lit a fire.

So the fire department came and they rescued him. He's five,9", 68 pounds. 68 pounds. 32 years old. Now the biological mother has spoken out and said that she gave the child custody over to the dad.

I don't know where the dad is now, but somehow the kid ended up with a stepmother who locked him away for 20 years in a house that looked abandoned, all boarded up windows and everything. 32 year old, 32 years old, the firefighters who rescued him, there was a room inside of a room and the firefighters thought it was a child in the bed.

This is, this is the other day. There's, there's so much evil in the bed. This is just the other day. There's so much evil in our country. If you think too long about it, it'll just pains your heart too much. We can't deal with it. What we need to deal with this. What we don't need is to be importing more evil and wickedness from around the world.

This is low hanging fruit. Let's get rid of the gang members, the rapists, the horrific criminals, the satanists, the people who are doing orders at the behest of the beast. Low hanging fruit. But we've had leaders who have not done this. They've allowed more in.

And this has resulted in people dying and people hurt and lives destroyed, lives damaged, lives made worse. Now we have leaders today politically who are trying to do good things and other people are trying to stop them from doing these obvious good things. We have to pray to God to rid our nation and world of all this evil. There are political answers and this is also a spiritual fight. There are leaders who, as it says in Micah, detest justice and make crooked all that is straight.

We need to be people who love justice and want to make straight all that is crooked. I pray we don't get to the point that it says in verse four where we cry to the Lord, but he doesn't answer us, and he hides his face from us, because our deeds have been too evil.

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.

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.

A Cry For Help: "I Own A Strip Club"
Politics By Faith, August 24, 2026

Someone called in the other day and said he owns a strip club, but he's willing to get out of the business. Let's help, Greg! And lest we get on our high horse because we don't own a strip club, we should all be like the people outside of Simon's house asking for Jesus' help.

Welcome to Politics by Faith. It's where we take the news of the day, we bring it to the Bible, so we can walk away with peace and perspective. New headlines every day, but Ecclesiastes says it's not the new end of the sun. So thanks for being here to get the true story. The story of the day today, a call for help. At the end of my SiriusXM radio show on Friday, at the very end, last phone call, the segment before that, we were talking about rap music. And now, for the first time since 1990 no rap song is in the Billboard top 40.

And I just talked about that. It's great. Now, it's not that the other 40 songs are good. It's not like the Lawrence Welk Orchestra is knocking out the number one hits. Sorry, it's all trash. But at least rap's not in the top right. But I made the point that the peak of rap's popularity was only 30 market share. Usually, rap's like 20 25 market share. And there's just an impression that everyone's supposed to love it. Like, everyone does love rap and we're all supposed to love it. And no one likes it. So, I think we can stop pretending to like it. That was like a throwaway point at the end of the show, whatever. And some people called and they talked about rap music's changed. Like, oh, it used to be good in the 80s and now it's worse. You're like, okay. So, we had a couple of calls.

But some guy called in, Greg, in Michigan, Detroit. He said, Slater, let me tell you how bad rap music has become. He said, I own a strip club and the rap music today is so degenerate. That's the word he used, degenerate. I won't even play. It's so, rap music is so degenerate. I won't play it at my strip club. Is it sometimes? I strip club. He said, sometimes a song will slip through. Someone will pay 100 to the DJ and some modern rap song will pop through. He said, everyone sings along to it. He said, it's awful.

So we talked about rap music for a little bit. I said, now, Greg, hold on. You said something a moment ago. You own a what? And he shared a story. He said he's felt a pull really ever since he got into the business. That pull. I said, what do you mean a pull? You felt a pull. He's like, I, you know, the morality of it. I said, that's your conscience. People can sear their conscience. You should listen to it. He said he's a Christian. He said, You got to make money somehow. And he also said, We have free. I want to get back to that free will part in a minute. And then he went on in his rationalization and said, I protect these girls. I'm sort of a fatherlike figure and I'm a security and I'm sort of like a boyfriend. " I said, and pimp."

And he just, he went through like all these different excuses for how he's, how it's okay that he's in this industry. But I was encouraged By Greg because you could tell he still knew it was wrong. He said he has bad knees, owning a strip club is easier than he was a plumber for a long time. Bad knees, bad back or something. And I encouraged him that maybe he should do something else. And would you do something else if something else were available? And he said something like, I've been wanting to get out of the industry.

" Something like that. It was a call for help. Now I'm issuing a call for help. I bring this story up for two reasons. First, if you own a company or know of a company in the Detroit area and we can give Greg in Detroit an option and get him out of the strip club, how incredible would that be? Now. I challenge Greg with this. Not only will you be leaving the strip club, which is good for you, but you are in this unique position to be able to speak to the women, to rescue them out of what they're doing. I can speak about the whole thing from my high horse up here, but Greg, you know these people. You intimately know them. You know their names. You also know the places, you know the other owners, you know the girls. You can speak to them in a language that they understand, and you can rescue them. You can really help them. I'm not in a position to help these girls, but you are. Especially the ones that know you and trust you. But then also, after you rescue them, just girls.

Young women in the industry in general, you know what makes the whole thing tick and work and all. You can help people in such an incredible way. He says, Well, the money's good. So I asked him, I had to go. It was the end of the show. And I said, Greg, if you're interested. Send me an email. He did. He wrote me right away. And then I asked him back. I said, Greg, what are you making? What do you need to make in order for you to leave comfortably? He says, He makes just over 100000 a year. He's a plumber and he has a bachelor's degree. He's making pretty good money where he is. And Jesus said. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Greg is in a position to save souls he really can. He's the man to do it. Just need some help. If you're in the Detroit area and you can maybe help Greg out with a job or an opportunity, my personal email is slaterradiogmailcom Slaterradiogmailcom and if all of us.

The second reason I want to bring this up, if all of us can please pray for Greg in Michigan. And I pray that he makes a hard choice. That's not a hard choice. It's a monumental choice and acts on it. He says he's a Christian. So I pray the Holy Spirit speaks to him loudly and he can take these steps. And then I pray that he has zero regrets and instead feels this relief. I want Greg to, I would just love for there to be an opportunity. Someone listening now is like, oh, yeah, like I'll give Greg. I'll. Interview Greg, right? And then Greg's great. So we take on Greg, Greg leaves, and then he can help these girls. But the moment Leaves, I want him to feel this joy, this relief and this joy, like, Oh, I can finally, I'm doing what I know I should be doing."

And then I can go glorify God by spreading the word in a very dark place, a place that he used to spend a lot of time in. So if you could pray, again, you may be like, I'm in Alabama or whatever, I can't help Greg. " You can, if you can pray for Greg in Detroit, that would be amazing. And if you're in Detroit and you can help Greg, I got a lot of emails from people after that show, after that, who heard that. And they're like, oh man, it was moving for me and a lot of other people. We just need one person. One person to be in a position to help Greg do the right thing. It can be hard to do the right thing, but it is easier when people come alongside and help. My wife and I, to be personal here, my wife and I, when we were engaged We were living together. And we were going to this church.

And they confronted us on it. And it was as loving as it could possibly be done. I wasn't a Christian. I wasn't baptized at the time. I was studying the Bible. So I was studying the Bible with these men. So I remember the night, they're like, hey, come over and we'll study the Bible. And then my wife went with some women. And I went with some men. And the men were just ran through the scripture about living together. I forgot exactly the scriptures they used, but I remember being fully convicted and giving a lot of excuses, plenty of excuses, right? Oh, it's expensive, whatever, all the excuses people, but just couldn't deny the word of God anymore. I remember I jokingly, what's the right word? It was jokingly. But it was also like exhaustively frustrating. I don't know the right word, but I threw my pencil at. Guillermo. Guillermo was the leader of the church. I threw it at him as if to say, Well, I'm out. I got no other. I didn't throw it. I want to be clear. I didn't throw it at him. I was like, all right. Well.

No Milk and Rotten meat! Life Aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln
Politics By Faith, August 19, 2026

Reports are spreading that life aboard the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln is difficult and uncomfortable. How bad are things? There's not enough fresh milk. I'll tell you why the media is spreading this story and what the truth is.

Welcome to Politics by Faith. It's where we take the news of the day, we bring it to the Bible, so we can all walk away with peace and perspective. New headlines every day, but Ecclesiastes says it's not the new under the sun. Thanks for being here to get the true story, the story of the day today. Hayden Panettiere has died at the age of 36. Hayden was a child actress. 

Her first TV show was Jim Henson's TGIF show in 1996, short -lived. It was called Aliens in the Family. She was seven. Did a lot of TV commercials as well. She was the voice of one of the characters in A Bug's Life. Her biggest childhood role was Remember the Titans as the precocious little girl. 

Her big break as an adult was Heroes, some TV show, and in Nashville. A lot of headlines said she was from the Scream franchise. I'm old enough to think that Courtney Cox is the face of the Scream franchise, but I guess there was some reboot. She was found dead at Judson Mill Lofts in Greenville, South Carolina. Authorities don't think there was any foul play, no sign of trauma that could have contributed to her death. TMZ says that in the 911 dispatch, there was something said about an overdose. 

But as I'm recording this now, we're not sure yet. I read this in USA Today. They said in the years leading up to her death, Panettiere had been candid about her health and struggles with substance abuse. The actress previously revealed that she struggled with alcohol and opioid addiction and sought treatment. And she also spoke openly about experiencing postpartum depression after welcoming her daughter Kayla in 2014. Her younger brother, also an actor, Jensen Panettiere, died in 2023 at the age of 28 from a heart condition. 

Her daughter is with her ex -fiancé, so lives with her dad in Europe. So I don't know what that situation is about. what's broken about this horrible story is it's a reminder that celebrities don't live a great life. I saw that she had a net worth of $15 million. I don't know what her actual net worth was, right, but a lot. And she was famous and glamorous, and she went to all the red carpets and the big special events, and people were like, ooh, Hayden's here. 

And I was like, she could afford anything in the world. She could go anywhere in the world. Anywhere she wanted right now, she could go and stay at the nicest place in the world, nicest hotel in New York City or wherever, and do whatever she wanted. And just wasn't happy. How are you doing? And if your excuse is, well, you know, I'm all right, but I don't have $15 million. 

If I had $15 million, then I'd be, I'd be real happy. If I were famous, then I would be, I'd be, then I'd be grateful. So obviously not the answer. Happiness can't be about your circumstances. If you're not happy now, then you won't be happy with the change of circumstance. You really won't. 

You won't. It depends where you find your happiness. And you can never go about thinking that your life would be, if you were a celebrity, then life would be good. Like it's not it. And most celebrities will admit it. It's just not a good life. 

I think one of the reasons it's not a good life is because you're never sure about your relationships. Are people there for the money? Are people there for the fame? People there for the perks? How loyal are your friends? And you can be rich and famous, big celebrity, but your 11 year old daughter lives in Europe with your ex. 

Like what good is all that money? Who cares? Who wants this money? And then it makes life seem even more shallow and meaningless. It's relationships that matter the most. Your relationship with Jesus, first and foremost, which is what we're going to get to. 

But then secondly, your relationships here on earth. And if those relationships are questionable at best or broken, then no matter what your relationships are here on earth, you need to have that relationship with Jesus. I was convicted this morning with a scripture that I've read a thousand times. Matthew 7, 21, Jesus is not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, we'll enter the kingdom of heaven. but the one who does the will of my father who is in heaven. " And his followers, they're like, what are you talking about? 

We prophesied in your name. We casted out demons. We did all these mighty works. We did stuff. What do you mean? Not everyone who says, Lord, Lord, we'll go to heaven. 

Like we're doing the stuff. Like if we went back and we saw this happening, we would say that these people who are questioning this, we would say they're Christians. And then Jesus said, and then I will declare to them, I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness. That line never stood out to me. All the times I've read this, that last part, you who practice lawlessness. 

The Greek word here for to know me is the intimate knowing of someone or an intimate relationship with someone. He's saying, you people, you're doing stuff, quote unquote in my name, but you don't know me. I don't know you. We don't have a relationship and you're practicing lawlessness actually. 1 John 2, 3 says, and by this, we know that they have come to know him. If we keep his commandments. Whoever says, I know him, but does not keep his commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him. 

There's a keeping of the commandments. They're not practicing lawlessness. And Jesus ends the sermon on the Mount, Matthew 7, 24. Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And then it says, everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be the foolish man who built his house on the sand. So there's, there's a, it's not just hearing the words, you got to go do them and not just do anything, but follow his commands. 

Now, of course, there's no working our way to Jesus, no working our way to heaven. These things, the doing stuff, it's the fruit that comes out of the intimate relationship with Jesus. It comes out of the knowing Jesus. And Jesus is the only person that brings peace. No matter what rough times, difficult times, mental health, addiction, whatever, come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. So many people who need relationship, they need intimacy, and they need rest. 

All of that comes through Jesus. Jesus said, take my yoke upon you and learn from me. Learn from me. I am gentle and humble at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. How many people today need rest in their souls? For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Isn't that incredible? 

Find rest for your souls in Jesus. Nothing else will give it to you. Nothing else on this earth will make you content. We need that reminder because if we walk around disgruntled and discontent, There's a chance that Jesus says, I never knew you. You're not looking to me. You're not looking to me for your refuge. 

You're not looking to me for a relationship. Nothing else. Fame, money, celebrity, nothing else will fill that void. Nothing else will give you rest. That is all and only in Jesus. Don't miss these reminders.

Trump: "Who Are These Animals?" Destroying The WWII Memorial
Politics By Faith, August 17, 2026

In this country, there are people "of the Devil," and there are people "of Christ." We are called to build. The rest are dead set on destruction. Whether it's institutions, organizations, or statues and memorials, those of the Devil can't stop destroying everything that is good, beautiful, and true.

Welcome to Politics by Faith. This is where we take the news of the day, we bring it to the Bible, so we can walk away with peace and perspective. New headlines every day. They never stop. They keep coming. I'm going to bombard you. 

But Ecclesiastes says it's not the new under the sun. So thanks for being here to get the true story, the story of the day today. Vandalizing the World War II Memorial. So what happened here? The president tweeted out the other day, our beautiful World War II Memorial was just hit by spray painting vandals. There could be no greater insult to those Americans, American heroes who died in World War II. 

First, the reflecting pool. Now this, we are on their trail. Where do these animals come from? So someone wrote with spray paint on the World War II Memorial. They wrote clean hands, dirty money. I don't know what that means, but then they just made this big mess. 

all around. And then someone or someone else, I don't know that same person, I don't know, poured bubble soap in the fountains of the memorial. So it made this big foam bubble mess. The good news of this story is that the U . S. attorney for Washington, D . 

C. is also the DA for D . C. The weird quirk of how, like what Washington, D . C. even is. I mean, thank goodness that Jeanine Pirro is the D . 

A. of D . C. because she is able to arrest murderers and drug dealers. There's no other city in the country where the D . A. 

is going to be someone like Jeanine Pirro. D . C. is the only place. So she's in charge of this, and she already charged someone. Two felony charges, vandalism against property and destruction of Veterans Memorial. 

That's a specific charge. Melissa Ferris. Facing up to 10 years in prison, now in custody, of course, it's a degenerate. looking person as they almost always are. Her outside is a reflection of her heart, a heart that is consumed with destruction. And that's what I want to talk about here. 

That's what I want to talk about what's broken in this story. I cannot stress enough how dead set these people are on destruction. We don't, it's hard for us to understand this because you're not, you're not dead set on destruction. You're trying to build things. You're trying to make things better. These people are, they're different. 

They set on destruction at the risk of getting off topic. Let me, let me weave for just a second here. This is on my mind. Cause we've been talking a lot about this on the, on the radio show lately, the importance of a high trust society. And we've taken it for granted our whole life. We've lived in a high trust society and we didn't recognize it. 

And now we're losing it. And it's going to be gone fast. A basic example we can all understand is. You grew up in a world, in a country, in a culture where you walk into a store and it's all there. And then you take a thing off the shelf and you put it in a basket or a cart and then you go over there to the checkout person and you pay and then you walk out the door. Well enough people just stopped doing that. 

Like they would just steal stuff. So then the stores had to lock everything up. We all know about that example. It's mostly foreigners who do this. because they come from low -trust societies, or it's just degenerate people. Maybe they grew up here, but they're not American at their core because that's not our culture. 

But there's other examples of high -trust society that we're losing. McDonald's said they're getting rid of self -serve soda stations. Have you ever thought about that? Have you ever thought about the fact that you can buy one soda, and you just walk over there, or you just get a water. You could ask for a water, and you just go over there, and you grab a drink. And if you want another one, you gotta go back and pay, but that's okay because you can just fill it up yourself. 

Like that's a high trust society, but they're getting rid of that. Why are they doing it? McDonald's said they're getting rid of it because of quote, changing consumer habits. No, it's because disgusting people keep stealing soda. We talked about a story the other day on the radio of how people are not only attacking and robbing the mailman, mail carriers, Now gangs are infiltrating the post office to become mail carriers so they can systematically steal from you and I, from everyone. They can steal important documents, credit cards, whatever they want. 

So how about taking mail delivery for granted? I never thought twice about that one. I never thought that people would just steal the mail because we've always lived in a high trust society, but people now steal the mail. It's crazy. Someone called in the other day because I have an open call for anyone who ever has a high trust story. that they wanna celebrate. 

This guy called in and said they were in a convenience store in their town, and the person forgot their wallet, and the cashier person said, ah, don't worry about it, I owe you. Next time you're here, pay it off. And the guy was the second person in line, said, what? What was that? Oh, that's how it used to be. All these old -timey movies, the Wild West, where people put stuff on their tab. 

Tab? You have a tab? What do you mean you have a tab? If you ever, if you have an example of a high -trust society, thing, element, example, story, something in your town that's high trust. Please let me know. I love these stories so much. 

Let me know in the comments of our YouTube page, your high trust society example, whether it's something you had growing up or let's pray something you still have today. Just one that popped in my head is in my town I used to live in, we went back a couple of years ago for a vacation and just like a mile or so down the lake where we stayed, there was like a farm stand. Like a farm stand is a classic example, right? You put your money in the little Folgers cup, make your own change. This guy did that though, but for maple syrup. 

This guy had this little shed of maple syrup. There had to be like $10 ,000 worth of maple syrup. That's an expensive item. And it was all just, you know, grab it, whatever. Grab what you want and leave your money right there. Like, oh man. 

So please let me know in the comments your high trust society story. And I love to hear these stories because when, every time they happen, it, it tells people that this is how we do it, right? Like, so, so if you, if someone does a high trust society thing to you, you're more likely to then do another high trust society thing to someone else. And then it snowballs because people are like, oh, wow, we were doing that. We're, we're honest. Oh, that's awesome. 

I want to be honest like that too, to people and it snowballs for the better, but it could spiral down fast as well. It's one of the things we lose when the whole third world comes here because they view your trust as weakness. It's a weakness to be taken advantage of. The vice president had an anti -fraud round table like a week or so ago. And the second person in command there, someone at the treasury department, said these welfare programs were designed for a high trust society. And they worked without having to do a lot of paperwork and checking in on people and all the rest. 

When more foreigners come in than ever before and it's just game on. People taking advantage of this thinking, wow, these Americans are just a bunch of suckers. Can you believe it? They're just giving all this money away. I can't believe they're so stupid. Third worlders, they come here and they see our high trust as weakness. 

Can you believe people are just given free food away at the food pantry? They're just giving food away. It's like, yeah, that's not what that's for. Can you believe we just got to fill this form and we'll make millions of dollars a year with our fake daycare? It's free money. They just give it to you. 

They see our trust as weakness. Similarly, back at the end of my weave, I think this ties in here because these are people who walk around and they just see, they see weakness. And there's other people who walk around and they're dead set on destruction. It's in their heart. They see things that are good, beautiful, and true. and their wicked heart says, I have to destroy that. 

And it could be a thing like a statue or like a war memorial. It could be an organization like the Boy Scouts. It could be a company like Bud Light or Cracker Barrel. It could be an industry like Hollywood, or you can even think like Star Wars specifically. Like it's good, I'm gonna destroy it. That woke feminist woman who came in there, Kathleen Kennedy or whatever her name is, comes in and just destroys the whole thing. 

I saw a video the other day of the Vanderbilt Divinity School. It's hollowed out and woke trans in every way. It could be any other part of our culture, like professional sports. It could be an institution like marriage, whatever, whatever it is. I just list off a pretty broad range of things. The left, they're very good at knowing what the most important things are to take down. We talked a lot about last week. 

We're going to keep talking about it too. The left, about 50 years or so, their focus on taking down marriage. I know what I'm saying is true. it's in the Bible. Satan and his demons are destroyers. Check out this line in the Bible, Revelation 9 11. 

It says they have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, A -B -A -D -D -O -N, and in Greek he's called Apollon. The word Abaddon in Hebrew, it says that's what his name is. His name Abaddon in Hebrew, it means destruction. That's literally what the word means. This is the fallen angel who's in charge of this bottomless pit. 

His name is Destruction. Other translations of that Hebrew word are Ruin. I looked at the Blue Letter Bible and described it as the name of the angel prince of the infernal regions, the minister of death and the author of havoc on the earth. Also a destroying angel. The fallen angel, the demon's name is Destruction. I know I'm hitting on something I think is right on. 

Jesus calls Satan a murderer from the very beginning. A murderer destroys life. The devil is like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. Satan destroys. Demons destroy. That's their goal. 

John 10, Jesus says the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. This is what ungodly people do, their intent on destruction. We see what Satan is capable of in Job. Now Satan's permitted to do all this here, right? But we see what he's capable of when he strikes Job and how he strikes Job. He takes away Job's livelihood, kills his animals, his servants, kills all 10 of his children. 

They were eating together, having a wonderful time as a family. Satan then attacks Job's health and then Satan tries to turn Job against God. These are the strategies of Satan. They're all destruction. They're destroying health, life, relationships. So what Satan does, he destroys. 

And people today, they act in Satan's name. 1 John 3 .12 says, we should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. Cain was of the evil one. There's a lot of people who are, even today. We shouldn't be though. We are of Christ. 

There are some people who are of the evil one. We are of Christ. Christ. We are called to hire. We are called to godliness. We are called to righteousness. 

We are called to build. Whether it's building monuments to World War II veterans, to maintain their memory, or for building a family or a school, or you're serving your town, or you're doing amazing work at your job, we build. Colossians 3 .23 says, whatever you do, work heartily as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord, you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. I will be fair though. The Bible does say that we destroy too. 

In general, we're builders, but there is one thing we destroy. 1 John 3 says, the reason the son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. Maybe we don't do that then. Jesus already did. Jesus destroyed the works of the devil. It's now our job to build.
