Be careful of people and ideas who look like The Light, but it's all an act.

Welcome to Politics by Faith. Thank you for being here. One big beautiful bill. That is the main news of the day. I want to take a bit of that and also highlight something a bit different before I forget it.

We'll bring it all together.

Zoran Memdani may be the next mayor of New York City. This is the 33-year year old Muslim communist from Uganda. The latest mini controversy is that his team made a video of him talking about something where he's eating some rice dish with his hands. Like an animal.

Like they do in a foreign, perhaps third world country.

And it's all performative. like they do in a foreign, perhaps third world country.

And it's all performative. He's got the microphone on a shirt. Like he could have waited to eat and answer the question without, but he did on purpose. And also he knows how to use a fork and knife. There's other campaign pictures of him eating a burrito with a fork and knife, which is a food item

that you're supposed to eat with your hands. So he's doing them both backwards. But the point is, eating with the hands, it's all performative gesture. It's a game, it's an act to appeal to certain people to get attention as well.

And they knew what they were doing. They're like, here, eat this with your hands. They knew. Someone on Twitter said, His mother is a world famous Academy Award nominated Bollywood director worth tens of millions of dollars. His father is a chaired professor at Columbia. He is a perpetual theater kid who's pretending to be third world.

The great Rob Henderson said, rich kid eats rice with his hands. More performative modesty aimed at manipulating you into thinking he's just a regular guy like Castro and his fatigues or Mao and his peasant tunic always the same playbook with rich kid socialists It's also funny. It's a funny place that we're at in politics where we used to mock politicians because they were eating pizza the wrong way or are they they would look awkward when eating a hot dog at the State Fair and

Now we have politicians running for office who are eating rice with their hands. All right, but here's my main point here. I want to steal this from Cernovich. He said, in our inverted society, and indeed everything's backwards,

the demons look soft and non-threatening, and the angels look scary, which is biblical. Mamdani is on the cover of the New Yorker and he looks great. It's a nice photo shoot and smiling and it's all, it's all nice. Communism, but with a nice happy smile on it, soft and non-threatening. The demons look soft and non-threatening.

The angels look scary, which is biblical. And he's right. Satan is not what our pop culture portrays him to look like. I think it's actually an act of the devil to have him portrayed the way he is with red horns and a pitchfork and all that. But the Bible says that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Second Corinthians 11, 14. He's also the father of lies, John 8, 44. So of course he's going to approach us as something good and beautiful

and safe and easy and full of light. Now, to be clear, the Bible doesn't say that Satan is an angel of light, only that he masquerades as one. So that is how we will see Satan and his deeds as light. Light is good in the Bible. John 8, 44 says,

"'Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling." God created the light, 2nd Corinthians 6, 4, for God who said, let light shine out of darkness has shown in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. It was Moses, wasn't

it? Who after he spoke with God on Mount Sinai, he came back down and his face was shining. Just light pouring off of his face. So light is good. So of course Satan is going to appear as the angel of light. Of course Satan is gonna say, come to me! I am the light! Which is why we have to be very careful. We have to stay close to God, stay close to his word. Psalm 119 says, your word God is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. So how do you stay close to God and know that it's his light? You read the Bible. Your word, the Bible, is a lamp to our feet, lights our path.

Now on the flip side, which is also pretty interesting, God's angels are so terrifying that people fall to their knees. And every time the angel has to say, fear not. Now you've maybe seen this before on the internet. Some artists made biblically accurate angels Now, you may have seen this before on the internet.

Some artists made biblically accurate angels. You can search for that at your own caution here. These are artist composites of Ezekiel. Ezekiel 1, his vision of God and his throne. And Ezekiel goes into detail here. Let's see here. Each had four faces and each had four wings. Their hands of a man were under the wings on their four sides. Each had four faces and wings.

Their wings touched one another. Let's see. There's more craziness here. Each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side. Each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side. Each of the four had the face of an eagle. A little further down on Ezekiel. Here it is. This is about wheels. Here we go. The appearance of their workings was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they moved, they went towards any one of four directions. They did not turn aside when they went. As for the rims, they

were so high. They were awesome. And the rims were full of eyes all around the four of them. So it's a circle full of eyes. When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. Goodness me. So, if you saw one of those, you wouldn't be like, oh, yay, look an angel. You would fall on your face and the angel would have to say, don't be afraid. Now, I don't know if that's what all angels look like. There's certain angels, I'm not an angel expert here, but the point is the inversion,

where Satan and demonic influences in this world come as light, and people are attracted to that, just like people are attracted to socialism, because it always looks good. I don't think it sounds good even. A lot of people say that, they'll be like,

oh, maybe communism sounds good, but it never works. I don't even think it sounds good. But some people still think that it is a light. Now, if I have to tie in the one big beautiful bill, which we'll do more on tomorrow, surely, it's just the deceitfulness of all of it.

The accounting, how they measure this, calculate that, move this around, change a word here or there. We'll do more on the radio show tomorrow of the Inflation Reduction Act, the green new scam stuff that's in it and taken out of it and then put back in it

and then a couple words changed here and there. So again, we'll do more of this tomorrow, but the house had in there that you will remove your solar subsidy if, unless something is in construction by a certain date. So this new wind or energy or solar project

has to be in construction by next year. But in construction only means 5% of the project. That's it. And that's in construction. So people are just gonna throw 5% into a project and then, oh, we're in, we're good.

And then they get four more years of subsidies. And the Senate did change it to, no, no, it's gotta be placed in service, which means it has to be done by the end of the year 2028. So a couple slight word changes here changes the whole game.

And the Senate's going back and forth on that whole thing. So we'll give you an update on what the Senate does with that tomorrow. But there's so much deceit in politics and that is one of the reasons why it's so chaotic and of course one of the reasons why there's so much anxiety around it as well. So much lying, so much deceit, so much ignorance, trying to control an entire country of 330 million Americans. Our founding fathers knew better. But free and

easy and entitlements and all this stuff, all these, this, this fake light seems so appealing and we've fallen for it for so long. Now people can't even imagine another way. We'll see how the one big beautiful bill does tonight. But my point is here, stay close to God so that we know when it is actually Satan masquerading as the angel of light and be aware of ideas and policies and philosophies that masquerade as truth as well. and be aware of ideas and policies and philosophies that masquerade as truth as well.

NYC might elect a Muslim, communist from Uganda as their next mayor. How is this possible? Because people want fast and free. We want something more.

Welcome to Politics by Faith. Thank you for being here. Been working on some thoughts here about the New York City mayor's race. Zohan Mamdani, 33-year-old Muslim communist from Uganda, who it's pretty likely will become the next mayor of New York City. Made a bunch of different arguments this morning, of course, how did this happen? I don't think it's immigrants, although that's

certainly part of it. You know, do you know what percentage of New York City is foreign born? It's 40%. So that's clearly part of it, but this is mostly homegrown. Uh, what got him across the finish line was progressive white women, rich, progressive white women. Mostly we'd talked about it for three hours today. So I can't do the whole thing. I'll just tell you what he stands for and what he's calling for. He's calling to end the NYPD, like totally defund the police, abolish prisons, abolish medical bills, abolish private health insurance,

ban all guns, legalized sex work, safe injection sites end cash bail, decriminalize drug possession, end all cooperation with ICE. He said taxation isn't theft, capitalism is. $65 million on transgender medical treatments, including on kids. I mean, it's like as crazy, crazy as you can get.

There's so much to be said here. I think my, well, I'll just make two quick points and then I'll get to the new stuff. This is the future of the Democratic Party. When the baby boomer generation passes on. The Clintons and Bloomberg

and all those establishment Democrats who have been around forever who endorsed Cuomo, they'll be gone and we will all this whole country will be left with Zohan dumb daddies, daddies all over the country. That's the future of the democratic party. It's the first point.

Second point. I don't want to cede any ground to communists in America. If, if we were talking about the capital of Uganda, electing a communist mayor, probably wouldn't talk about it, but it's New York city. This is in the United States of America. And I totally understand this desire to just let them, you know, they voted for these people, let them have it and they'll learn from their mistakes. But I don't agree with that anymore. We saw what happened when

we did that with college campuses. I thought that all the wackiness on college campuses would just stay in the bubble, but it doesn't stay in the bubble. Now all the craziness from the Ivy League schools is that every university and in K through 12 and med schools and law schools and teaching schools and every other institution across America doesn't just stay in the bubble and it won't just stay in New York, maybe start in New York, but it won't stay in New York. And I don't want to cede any ground

to communists. Let me move on to something new though. Nature does what's easiest. This is one of the reasons why evolution is so stupid. Because nature doesn't get better on its own. Nothing can't evolve up into an eye.

Right?

You can't have nothing and it just gets better because turning into an eye would be hard to do. And that's not how nature works. We were in the Grand Tetons a week or so ago. There's rivers everywhere. And they come from. We were in the Grand Tetons a week or so ago. There's rivers everywhere. And they come from the snow melt in the mountains.

And the rivers are fast. These are fast moving rivers and it just keeps coming. There's just an endless supply of water that's constantly rushing down the mountain. And you're in the river, these big huge rivers, you're like, where is this? This water just keeps coming and it goes all summer long, and the snow never melts away.

I mean, it's snow melt, so some is melting, but you look up in there, you're like, it's still there? And it's there all summer long. And we're on this, we're hiking around this lake. It's the most popular there's this huge waterfall. It's about a hundred feet tall. It's awesome.

And you're watching this waterfall and it comes, pours down, it's huge, pours down. And then it hits the side of this rock and it turns 90 degrees and it comes at you. It's so powerful. And at some point in the trip, it would just fascinated me and I'm living it

now that these rivers at one point in time, who forever ago first cut their way through the mountains, like the water's up top and it's got to get down and the water's gonna take the easiest path. And my point is once it makes its path, that's it. The path is set. It's not gonna change. Nothing naturally is going to move that waterfall to a new place or any of the rivers.

They're not going to change. There can be some erosion, of course, but it's not gonna be like, you know what's a better direction? Uphill and around the rivers. They're not going to change. There can be some erosion of course, but it's not going to be like, you know what's a better direction uphill and around the bend and that like that doesn't once the path is set, once it has its foothold, it's never going to give it up. And even if humans wanted to change, it would be a massive task for humans to come in and divert

that river to make a new waterfall or a different waterfall, even if we wanted to. My point is, this is why we can't let communists win elections anywhere. Because the devil gets a foothold. The river makes its groove. People keep voting certain ways. It's really hard, if not impossible, to change that path.

Nature does what's easiest, and so do people. This is why last week we talked about AI boyfriends and AI girlfriends, and I said that a majority of people will do this. If there's any kids listening now, you may want to hide their ears for a second. But a majority of people watch pornography pornography and it's the same principle it's selfish and easy once physical ones emotional but it's the same principle and

so it's communism it's easy the pitch is easy it is brilliant for Mamdani to call for free buses but he doesnani to call for free buses, but he doesn't just call for free buses or the elimination of bus fares. He doesn't call it, he calls it fast and free. Now it's not really free and someone's gotta pay for it.

Taxes, and of course it won't be fast. It's neither of those things, but the marketing is brilliant because it appeals to what people want. It appeals to people being selfish and easy, fast and free. This is what we want everything to be. We want everything to be fast and free.

And we have an entire political party and a massive cultural movement that provides people with all their heart's desires, whatever appeals to people's sinful nature. Fast and free, sometimes at a price. But, or at least a monetary price, there's always a real price, but we know that what's easy

is almost never what's best for the individual or what's best for society. Tonight for dinner, you know the easy thing is to just grab some ice cream from the freezer. That's the easy thing. But the better thing is to get some chicken and broccoli and cook it up and eat it. But that's harder.

We all know what the right thing is to do.

But the 99 cent tacos at Taco Bell, that's fast and pretty almost free. And it gets the job done. But does it? I mean, it'll satiate you in the moment, but long-term it destroys you. We all know that.

We know that the easy thing is rarely the right thing. Now we, unfortunately, as conservatives, we are members of a political party that advocate for hard things. We call upon people to engage in hard work and to strive. We call for virtue and accomplishing things.

The other party advocates for fast and free. Now I'd rather be on our team because our team when we accomplish what we stand for leads to greatness. But man, it's harder to win elections that way, isn't it? Here's the last analogy I wanna make

and then we'll get to the Bible. June 25th, 20, or excuse me, June 25th, 1929. President Herbert Hoover authorized the construction of the Hoover Dam. The Hoover Dam is a spectacular achievement, stunningly beautiful, stunningly beautiful in every way.

And it's full of art. The people who built this dam, who designed it and built it, they believed that they were building something that would last forever. I'd love one day, we can spend more time on this, but they built a celestial map on the site of the Hoover Dam

where, it's not ancient, where civilizations, thousands of years in the future from now, can read this map and figure out just by the stars, the positions of the stars and what's characterized on this map when this Hoover Dam was built.

Not using any words, but when the dam was built because they really believed that they were making this for something that would last forever, as forever as humans can build a thing, even without maintenance. I think they said it can last for a thousand years as humans can build a thing. Even without maintenance. I think they said it can last for a thousand years

without any maintenance on it even. Things spectacular, but it's beautiful too. It's built in this beautiful art deco theme. And it's an incredible engineering achievement that we're still celebrating today. We're still benefiting from today.

They finished it in five years, two years ahead of schedule. 21,000 people. It provides power today for 1.3 million homes. Water for Southern California, Arizona. So they built it fast, ahead of schedule, and it still works. People of California high-speed rail

can learn a lesson from here. But here's why I wanted to bring it up here. 100 people died making this thing. There's a big plaque at the Hoover Dam. And it says, they died. So there's this man, this art deco man

rising out of the water. And it says they died to make the desert bloom. The desert doesn't bloom on its own. It takes hard work to make it bloom. All good things. Now, of course, God does all of this, right?

God even, he made the concept of blooming and he made flowers and he made, right? So all this is God and God could do, of course, but our role on the earth is to participate in that creation and to create and make beautiful things too. And that can't be done without effort. The left promises fast and free, fast and free, everything fast and free, everything. It never works. Of course. Can't never can. Uh, like meaning the buses will never be like those won't work. It'll work when

it like getting elected. It'll work in that regard, but it'll never actually work in governance. But they promise fast and free, very appealing. We promise good, beautiful, and true. It's much more difficult, but obviously it's better. Satan's world is one of temptation. When people are selfish and want the easy way. I just this morning,

I kid you not just this morning, read Proverbs 28 and it says, better is the poor who walks in his integrity than one perverse in his ways, though he'd be rich. In his ways, like his own ways. Better to be poor and walk in his integrity than one perverse in his own ways, even though he be rich. This one stood out, again, this is Proverbs 28, 20. A faithful man will abound with blessings,

but he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished. Hastens means quickly, but like you'll do anything to be rich will not go unpunished. Hastens means quickly, but you'll do anything to get rich. You'll cheat, you'll compromise, you'll do whatever it takes to get rich. I must be rich and nothing else matters. You will not go unpunished this life or the next, but the hasten, the fast, I want it now. Me, me, me now fast and free. Another one of Proverbs 28, a man with an evil eye hastens after riches and does not consider the poverty that

will come upon him. Fast and free. And just speaking to the how the good things the righteous is hard. It takes effort. It takes effort. 1st Corinthians 9. Do you not know, says Paul, do you not know that those who run in a race all run but one receives the prize run in such a way that you may obtain it. Go get it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown but we for an

imperishable crown. See all these people competing in like the Olympics, they do it for a silly medal or crown, right? But we do it for one that lasts forever. Therefore I run in this way, not with uncertainty. Thus I fight not as one who beats the air, like silliness, but I discipline my body and bring it into subjection.

Lest when I've preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. They had like these, this athletic competitions in Corinth. So he's using their language, but run in a way that you could win it, train for it, be disciplined, just like the great athletes are.

But here's what's interesting. When he says, I, where is it? I discipline my body. We don't translate that quite right. The actual Greek means to beat black and blue, to smite so as to cause bruises and livid spots like a boxer beats his body, to be disciplined by hardships. It means to give a black eye. That's what he's talking about, discipline.

Why? To bring the body into submission. Meaning to make the body my slave. So with the temptations in the world, we act like our souls are slaves of the body, that the body's in charge, right? Our emotions drive our actions, our desires, our impulses, our cravings, our lusts. So much

of politics today is about feelings. Well, I feel this, I feel like that, I feel for these people, I feel, I feel, right? I feel all the time. I'm gonna cry, that person's crying, oh we better do what they want, they're crying. It's all about the feels, what feels good. Because for most people, our body, the flesh, is the master over our soul. So we do whatever the body says. But Paul here says, no, flip that around,

bring your body into subjection. Now that doesn't mean work on your six pack, although that's good too, but work against your lusts. Like your body's not in charge of your soul. Your soul with the Holy Spirit needs to be in charge of your body, meaning all the temptations around us,

all the promises of fast and free. Politically, this is a very difficult thing to do. It's definitely the uphill battle, but I believe it is the good one. And spiritually, it's the most important thing.

And Jesus took the ultimate beating and punishment for all of our sins, not just physically on the cross, but all the sins of the whole world on him as well.

There was a seemingly awkward, but also powerful, moment during Trump's address to the nation the night our military bombed Iranian nuclear sites. Hopefully, it's a sign of more to come.

Welcome to Politics by Faith. Thank you for being here. What a weekend it was with what happened in Iran. I think we're all up on what happened on Sirius XM show. We made many points, but the one that I'd just like to echo here is the incredible precision of the entire operation. 125 different aircraft. We talked to a former Air Force Brigadier General who talked about, he used to ride or fly the tankers, these huge giant refueling gas stations in the air.

And he talked about how during this operation, these tankers had to take off and meet at a precise location in the air over the ocean without radio, no radio communication because that could be intercepted. So no radio communication meeting

at a precise specific location to refuel the B-2 bombers over an 18 hour flight. By the way, once you get reconnected, miraculously, so you gotta meet at the right place, then connect, fly for 45 minutes, takes 45 minutes to refuel. It's an 18 hour trip, there, 18 hours there,

then 18 hours back, are you kidding me? He said you have to refuel about three or four times each direction. And all of that has to work perfectly. And if it doesn't, then the whole operation is at risk. And there's countless things like that that had to work.

Thousands of people, and all had to be kept quiet. There were no leaks in the Department of Defense. But all this had to be secret and kept quiet to the thousands of people who are aware of what was happening, right? People in the military who are part of it, just incredible. Just absolutely remarkable in every way.

And we did a lot and we'll do more tomorrow on speak softly, carry a big stick, peace through strength. I made the argument that I think Trump reveled this opportunity to use the big stick in a way with limited risk because of what Israel's done to take out Iran's air defenses

and also Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, which surround Israel, soften the target. So easy in, relatively, easier in. And also an opportunity for Trump to show what we're still capable of. Trump can't make threats

and never follow through on them, right? Trump can't say, oh, you have 90 days or else, or 60 days, or two weeks, or else, or else, or else. Eventually there has to be an or else. And this was a safe, pretty universally agreed upon, appropriate or else. Take out Iran's nuclear capabilities. As you saw

there were no, no one came to Iran's defense. Maybe sort of Russia but not even really. So this seems to be an overall win. So far we're still pretty early. As I'm recording this now, there was just a bunch of missiles that were fired from Iran to Qatar.

New York Times initially reported that Qatar was given advanced warning of these missiles that were coming from Iran. And Qatar's Iran's friend, they're friendly with each other. And this is all in an effort to attack our base in Qatar they didn't so what

was this this is a way to save face Iran had to do something for their people to show that they're they're fighting back it seems so far to be very similar what they did after President Trump ordered the attack on Soleimani who was the head of Iran's, one of their aspects of their military, the IRGC. And Soleimani was a big time military general guy and he stepped foot in Iraq and we've been wanting to take him out for a long time and Trump made the call and killed him. Well, Iran had to do something to back, right? Here's Trump talking

about that in 2020. I had Iran in check. Do you know, we hit them very hard for something that they did and they had to hit back. They feel they have to do that. And I understand that. Do you know, they called me to tell me we're going to hit a certain location, but we're not going to hit it. It's going to be outside of the parameters. Iran called me. Iran called me, called for me. And they let us know. And we had 16 missiles went off.

I believe it was 16. Six or seven failed in the air.

When was this?

This was prior to the attack on a fort that we had where they hit back. Do you remember when they sent 18 missiles or 16 missiles? Five failed. They let us know, don't move. We're going to have to hit you back. Psychologically, we have to do that because we hit them on something. You remember, they sent 16 or 18

missiles and we knew they weren't going to hit inside the fort. And the media was going, and now I reveal it, the media was going wild because they say it's strange. They're very accurate missiles. How come they all missed? Nobody was killed. If you remember with all of those missiles, nobody was killed. Now they had to do it because they have people and they have to show strength. So they aimed the missiles, but they said, please don't attack us. We're not going to hit you. That was respect. We had respect.

That seems to be the same thing that Iran did today in response to what we did to them on Saturday. I have a simple point that I'd like to make today, a biblical point in this podcast, Politics by Faith, where we thump the Bible. This is the last line of Trump's address to the nation in the East Wing or East Room of the White House. Did you see it live? It was Saturday night, 10 p.m. Eastern. And we heard before then that Trump was gonna give an address to the nation.

My first thought was it was gonna be an Oval Office address but it was in the East Room. And their symbolism to the East Room, this is for big events, big occurrences, it has a vibe more of a momentous thing just happened. It's still ongoing enough that I have to stay standing

and I'm just coming here quick to tell y'all that this happened. So you know that it's legit, it's for real, but I gotta go get back to work. It's a different vibe than the Oval Office address, which is more of a fireside chat,

kind of longer term thing that may be occurring, but it's a long term game. Anyway, East Room Address, but something I've never seen before in an East Room Address. Real quick, W gave one of these when we captured Saddam Hussein,

Obama gave one when we killed Bin Laden, right? So it's of that caliber of thing. But I've never seen a president come out flanked by any other people. And President Trump, and I would love to know who came up with this idea, obviously Trump approved it,

but who came up with the idea in the first place? Trump came out with, from our left to right, J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hexeth. Vice President, Secretary of State, Defense Secretary, never seen that before. Wonderful show of strength, I approve, I think it's great. And then Trump gave us just a few minute address and he ended with this.

And I wanna just thank everybody and in particular, God, I wanna just say we love you God and we love our great military, protect them. God bless the Middle East, God bless we love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel and God bless America.

Thank you very much.

I want to thank God. A friend of mine at church made this point to me in the hallway when we were walking in together. Donald Trump there, that was a bit awkward and it made me think of when I first became a Christian. And I went a while without praying out loud around people. I was very nervous.

Didn't know what to say, how to say it. And my friends and my men's group challenged me, like, do it now. So I go, oh, okay. And it comes out a little, little awkward. That's what that was.

Powerful still, the fact that the President of the United States would end his speech like that never heard that either. But all the more beautiful with three believers standing behind

him.

This is the point that my friend made, that the three behind him aren't just a wonderful vice president, secretary of state, and defense secretary. And by the way, if there's any question about Pete Hexeth being up for the job as a Fox News host and now he's running the Pentagon,

that should be put to red bed forever. Marco Rubio's been crushing it like I've never seen a cabinet member crush it and JD Vance is fantastic. So he's behind wonderfully skilled and capable people at their jobs but he's also standing next to three very strong believers and that's powerful and should be noted. Thought of three scriptures on this point. Matthew 5, 16, this is popular scripture in American history. This is the shining city on a

hill scripture, right? You're the light of the world. A city that's set on a hill cannot be hidden, nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand. And it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your, and here's the line that we don't often quote, let your light, so your light, your light, so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven. I believe these three men, it seems likely,

I don't know, I've never been there around their meetings, but it seems likely that these three men are letting a light shine before everyone else around them and people are seeing good works and thereby glorifying Father in heaven, our Father in heaven. Charles Spurgeon said, Christ never contemplated the production of secret Christians, Christians whose virtues would never be displayed. Pilgrims who

would travel to heaven by night and never be seen by their fellow pilgrims or anyone else. Now let your light shine. You are the light of the world. Also Titus 2.7, in everything, in all things, show yourself to be a pattern of good works, in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned.
