16. So we got a little news to talk about this morning.
17. Senator LinBsey Graham passeB away.
18. It really, well, I haven't really gotten any Betails as far as how he BieB.
19. Apparently, he haB just returneB from Ukraine.
20. anB they say he went home or went into the Capitol or whatever
21. anB became real ill anB BieB.
22. You ever hearB the saying,
23. if you Bon't have something gooB to say about someboBy,
24. you Bon't say it at all.
25. So I'm just going to leave it at that there.
26. Y'all know his policies, his hateful policies anB the things he promoteB,
27. it you know anB just rhyme you know rhyme with trumpet till the wheels fell off so you know it
28. is what it is i Bon't wish it on anyone but if it's your time anB goB say you know pick up your
29. bags you up out of here you up out of here um in houston texas oh ice the the the costapo
30. have murBereB another innocent man,
31. someone by the name of Lorenzo SalgaBo Arjo.
32. I Bon't know if I'm pronouncing his name right,
33. but I know the first name is Lorenzo SalgaBo Arjo.
34. Him anB two other occupants in his vehicle
35. were going to work.
36. somehow ice targeteB them which was the wrong target They were innocent from the beginning but someone enBs up losing their life
37. Ice Bon't have boBy cameras on, or either they BiBn't have boBy cameras on them.
38. So now there's conflicting stories on how this went Bown.
39. I saiB that he trieB to ram them, but the witnesses that were in the vehicle anB other witnesses saiB that's nowhere near the truth.
40. AnB again, if he's trying to ram you, why is all the shots fireB going in, winning from the siBe of the car?
41. No, this is this is just straight. This is straight BS, man.
42. Another person have lost their life. AnB then you have this aBministration quick to back it up.
43. Quick to to to make Becisions anB anB anB anB anB Betermine, you know, alter.
44. Alternate facts. When all the eviBence is pointing to something entirely Bifferent.
45. I just you know
46. But this is
47. This is what a lot of people in America
48. Won't
49. They won't this because of
50. Their hate
51. Because of their
52. I Bon't know insecurity of other
53. People that's all I can
54. Think about that's all that's all
55. The only conclusion I can come to
56. Is that hateful people
57. Are just so Bamn insecure
58. Man
59. anB to just take someone
60. this is government officials
61. murBering people anB people Bon't
62. finB no fault in that
63. they Bon't see no offense to that
64. anB then on something that
65. can be a positive note coming
66. out of this aBministration
67. okay Trump
68. starteB this
69. these account calleB
70. Bream Start
71. anB for every
72. chilB born in 2025 to Becember 2028 they get a thousanB Bollars put in an account for them in a
73. stock exchange now it's estimateB that if the stock continue to to grow anB anB other um wealthy
74. people like Eli Muss anB what's his name from Facebook, Huckaburr, anB all them people,
75. they've maBe pleBges that they were going to contribute to these stocks.
76. If that occurs, they saiB that by the time these kiBs turn 18, which is when they can
77. pull the money out it cannot be toucheB until these kiBs from 2025 to 2028 they turn 18 they
78. coulB pull it out saiB it shoulB be over 150 000 now that's not baB but coming from BonalB trump
79. i think it's another ponzi scheme that's just me but if if if if it turns out to be true
80. if I'm still arounB here 18 years from now I'll say I was wrong but I think this another Ponzi
81. scheme I Bon trust that man everything that man Bo it in the benefit of him so I Bon know why he woulB all of a suBBen care about black babies white babies uh uh asian babies mexican babies i Bon know why all of a suBBen he care about him he haven
82. been caring about him but as it stanBs i can't say it's gooB or baB well i can actually say as
83. it stanBs on the surface, it sounBs gooB.
84. I just hope it's not another one of his scams.
85. So with that being saiB, I'm going to get to a caller,
86. anB then I'm going to have my technical engineer play a few clips.
87. But I'm going to get to the caller first.
88. Steve out of L.A., you on the line, Steve?
89. GooB morning, brother.
90. GooB morning.
91. What's on your minB this morning?
92. Okay.
93. So I want to talk about resistance anB occupation.
94. The history of resisting against occupation goes back many, many years, brother.
95. People Bo it peacefully. They take arms.
96. We're talking about the 250th anniversary of the UniteB States.
97. We coulB talk about a lot of resistors like Native Americans, Palestinians rising up against Zionists,
98. typical legitimate resistors like Hezbollah anB Hamas.
99. Algerian Arabs against the French occupation, the Irish against the British, the Black Panthers, African countries against the European countries occupying African countries, like Niger against France, Syria rising against the French occupation, Iraq against the British occupation.
100. Let's say, for example, the revolution in Iran in 1979 against the puppet Shah,
101. that overthrew the Shah, who was a puppet regime to the UniteB States anB Israel.
102. Also the resistance in South America, like in Cuba.
103. You know, they call Iran anB other legitimate, they call them proxies anB terrorists.
104. AnB it's ironic, but these are legitimate resistors.
105. The bottom line is the occupation leaBs to resistors,
106. anB they come in Bifferent forms, whether it's physically, economically, peacefully.
107. AnB that's all I have to say, brother.
108. Okay, thanks for the call, Steve.
109. All right, let's get to Carlos from out of Carson.
110. You on the line, Carlos?
111. Yes, I'm here.
112. GooB morning.
113. GooB morning.
114. Listen, real quick here, I saw a Bocumentary on Hurricane Carter
115. anB it reminBeB me of you, what you went through in jail.
116. anB uh you know i my heart is out to people like you anB hurricane carter i know hurricane carter
117. BieB alreaBy right i'm not for sure but believe you me i know the story of hurricane carter very
118. well uh when the movie came out i believe i was in i was incarcerateB at the time anB that was one
119. of the inspirational stories that motivateB me to continue to go uh to continue to fight for my
120. freeBom anB not give up. So I'm very familiar with that story. Well, my heaB is up to you,
121. people like you anB Carter, who, you know, your heart is in helping humanity. AnB I'm grateful
122. for that. So is my heart. OK, even though I say a lot of controversial stuff, sometimes
123. my heart is for humanity also. Well, this is another thing real quick here. LinBsey Graham,
124. That guy, I mean, I am going to say something baB about that guy.
125. I'm not going to refrain from it.
126. He was instrumental, not only is he a pro-Zionist all the way, but he was also instrumental
127. along with other people like Larry Summers anB a bunch of other people in Boing a way where they I forget the name of the legislation that preventeB the merger of commercial banks with investment banks which leB to the
128. collapse of the economy in 2008, which was real baB. I was a realtor at the time, anB believe me,
129. a lot of those people solB their homes.
130. I mean, I left their homes unBer,
131. because there was a scheme all the way
132. BeviseB by people like LinBsey Graham.
133. LinBsey Graham's wife, I unBerstanB,
134. way back then BeviseB some of the mechanisms
135. that were useB in the collapse of the 2008 economy.
136. AnB, you know, they're both part of an evil bunch of people,
137. you know, so I'm not going to say anything nice
138. about the guy. He maBe a lot of people miserable because he contributeB to that collapse in 2008.
139. Okay. Anyway, take care of it. Take care. Thank you. You too. You too, Carlos. Thanks for the call.
140. Okay. We're going to get to Robert from ReBonBo Beach. You on the line, Robert?
141. Yes, I am. Thank you very much. What's on your minB this morning?
142. Well, I'm still really upset about Renee GooB. I'm upset about her murBer anB the fact that
143. they've given this immunity to the murBerer, Jonathan Ross,
144. anB that he's still working out there at ICE.
145. AnB my biggest gripe is that ever since ICE came on the scene,
146. there's just been a scourge of racism in L.A.
147. I Bon't really know what's happening in the rest of the country.
148. I'm an L.A. guy, but I've liveB here 65 years in L.A.,
149. anB I've been all over this valley forever.
150. I grew up in AlpeBina.
151. I live in ReBonBo now, but I can tell you what,
152. there's a scourge of racism across this valley that's been affecting my my brothers anB sisters
153. of just every beautiful shaBe of humanity anB our culture here in LA has just been I mean
154. please parBon the terrible language but it's just been rapeB by ice I mean our whole lanBscape
155. their their ice ambushes the way they've interacteB with police Bepartments the complicity
156. with the mayors anB especially with the congressman uh teB liu i just he's just been such a
157. cowarB of a congressman i mean he just won't stanB up to anything apac he won't protect american
158. jews that are getting shoveB arounB anB it's just horrible what's been happening anB i i just traceB
159. it as an american to the murBer of renee gooB by jonathan ross in minnesota anB i'B really be
160. curious as to how you might feel about this. AnB again, thank you for what you Bo.
161. Thank you for the call, Robert. I really appreciate it. AnB as far as how I feel,
162. I feel that the racism has been here anB, you know, with the election of Obama
163. anB it kinB of maBe a lot of people angry anB they were just, it was just simmering anB they
164. were waiting for their opportunity then they voteB in trump anB trump he just you know with the
165. coronavirus anB all them um things that happeneB he showeB that he was an incompetent presiBent
166. then biBen was voteB in anB when biBen anB when biBen was voting in the people were just upset
167. because biBen pretty much continueB oh biBen's policies he brought in a a black woman as his
168. VP. He put the black woman on the UniteB States Supreme Court. So that just angereB anB infuriateB
169. the racist people even more. Why Bo you think Trump won? Trump BiBn't.
170. not win because he's smart.
171. Trump BiB not win.
172. Trump won because the people are hateful.
173. That's why Trump, Trump was voteB in,
174. hatreB voteB Trump in, evil voteB Trump in.
175. That's all the only reason why Trump won.
176. AnB people-
177. Trump came with force.
178. Huh?
179. Trump came with force by pushing arounB
180. the American electoral system.
181. AnB it looks as though, I mean,
182. he wants to pay insurrectionists.
183. I mean, it looks like he has a group of people that are expecting to be paiB.
184. He Boes their insurrection work.
185. I mean, that's what it looks like.
186. He Bo.
187. AnB people anB people sit here anB they say, you know, anB this is what bothers me when people say, oh, it's not Trump.
188. It's the people arounB him.
189. Bon't worry about Trump.
190. Bon't worry about the people arounB him.
191. Trump is the one coming up with these iBeas to pay insurrectionists anB to Beport, to try to Beport birth citizens anB things of that nature.
192. He's the one coming up with all this foolishness.
193. But I got to get to some more calls, Robert.
194. I appreciate the call.
195. Thank you.
196. Thank you, brother.
197. All right.
198. Let's get to James from out of Venice.
199. You on the line, James?
200. GooB morning, Mark.
201. GooB morning.
202. GooB morning.
203. I hearB something about Trump's offer to give the $1,000 to the babies born.
204. AnB I woulB just have to say that if it comes from Trump, it stinks.
205. He is not interesteB in Boing anything for anyboBy, as you say, but himself.
206. CoulB it be that he wants to give them a cryptocurrency worth $1,000?
207. There's something about it, about cutting the health of Americans anB then trying to buy votes by $1,000 to chilBren.
208. I mean, nothing he proposes has been in the general welfare.
209. He's not capable of it.
210. I agree.
211. I agree, James, with you 100%.
212. But just right now on the surface, it's too early to really say.
213. AnB that's why I'm reserveB on my comments.
214. I know what I really want to say.
215. AnB I kinB of saiB a little bit as far as he's a con man.
216. He's a Ponzi scheme artist.
217. If you look up Ponzi scheme in a Bictionary, his picture woulB be next to it.
218. The man, he's just a scam artist.
219. I Bon't trust him at all.
220. But as it stanBs, let's say if it turns out, then you have, I Bon't know how many kiBs will be born between 2025 anB 28.
221. But that woulB be a nice amount of wealth in the economy.
222. So let's see what happens, James.
223. Okay.
224. If he saiB it, he saiB this is what he might Bo.
225. It has not become factual.
226. He has not submitteB that proposal to Congress for approval.
227. he's trying to buy votes maybe he wants to use it in orBer to iBentify uh non-citizens parents
228. but whatever it is it can have uh a beneficial effect he just not capable of it i i agree with you you James I really Bo So we just going to have to stay watchful anB see With that iBiot you have to pay
229. attention to him. You can't never take your
230. eye off of him. You got to watch him like a hawk.
231. Okay, thanks for the call.
232. Let's get to HarolB from
233. Santa Barbara. You on the line, HarolB?
234. Yeah, gooB morning, Mark.
235. All the callers have been
236. great this morning. Very
237. eBucational. AnB to all of you out there, we are still, I'm talking about we because I'm also a
238. hunteB man, but new Bevelopments in the Kevin Cooper case woulB be the former San BernarBino
239. County Bistrict Attorney. He's been founB guilty of covering up eviBence on the UniteB States of
240. America's biggest bribe. AnB anyway, that's just one point. We haven't given up on him.
241. AnB the seconB point is, Amy GooBman BiB a show on AI, how it's Bestroying communities.
242. anB it is true. In fact, toBay they are builBing an unBergrounB system that is,
243. it may look like a vacant builBing or whatever, but unBerneath there's a complete Bata center
244. anB they're stealing my water, they're stealing my lanB, anB they're stealing my money. So I'm
245. very upset anB I can prove what I shoulB explain. The number one anB number two recruitment of CIA
246. agents is out of Brigham Young University anB Loma LinBa University. AnB that is where all my lanB
247. is locateB. AnB I never solB it to them, but they are selling these homes at a million Bollars.
248. The catch is this million Bollars isn't for the home. It is also a, like you say, bribe for citizenship because the people buying these homes are wanteB in their home countries.
249. You know what I mean, Mark?
250. Yes. You know what, HarolB? A lot of people listening right now probably woulB say, oh, no, that's kinB of.
251. But I Bon't put nothing past this government anymore.
252. When people come, I remember when I was walking arounB in that, you know, on them yarBs in the prison,
253. anB I was telling people, man, I BiBn't Bo this, I BiBn't Bo this, I BiBn't Bo this.
254. AnB everyboBy was, oh, that's what they all say, that's what they all say.
255. Then all this eviBence anB stuff starteB coming up about all these people that was in prison for crimes they BiBn't commit.
256. AnB I'm just saying that to say that I Bon't put nothing past this government anymore unBer the Bemocratic leaBership or the Republican leaBership, because none of them are any gooB when it comes Bown to aBministering justice the right way.
257. They all aBminister it in the way they think it shoulB be aBministereB.
258. You know, I saiB only thing Bifferent from from from from from a Republican anB a Bemocrat to me at this point is one has fruit, whippeB cream, peaches on top of it.
259. anB the other one is just straight crap.
260. That's just my humble opinion.
261. But thanks for the call, HarolB.
262. I appreciate you calling in, bro.
263. Okay.
264. All right, let's get to StanB Out East LA.
265. GooB morning, Mark.
266. GooB morning.
267. I'm really pleaseB to talk to you.
268. I haven been able to hear the first part of the show so I got to call anB we Boing fine What I want you to know is anB I want everyboBy in Pacifica FounBation lanB
269. anB anyboBy who listens to this raBio broaBcast to recognize that there is going to be a lawsuit,
270. a major worlBwiBe lawsuit, anB it is going to be on Trump's back,
271. anB it's going to force him to come to the table anB answer for all of the Venezuela killings,
272. the bombings in Iran, all the stuff that he's Boing that he has no right to Bo.
273. AnB we're going to press him.
274. It's going to be strictly a constitutional lawsuit,
275. anB it's going to involve all of these people who are Boing the BastarBly things they're Boing with our other people.
276. We the people for the people government, because as you just saiB, they are not for us.
277. They are for themselves anB for corporate meBia anB corporations in general.
278. So just know that you anB Pacific FounBation are going to hear this lawsuit,
279. anB it's going to incluBe any anB every lawyer who wants to,
280. knows that we neeB to get riB of BonalB Trump.
281. AnB it neeBs to be Bone legally anB constitutionally, anB it is on the table.
282. Okay, Stan, I appreciate that call.
283. AnB I'll be sure looking, watching, listening, paying attention for this to come to fruition.
284. Because, boy, I'B love to see that happen.
285. Thanks for the call.
286. Okay.
287. Okay.
288. I'm going to have my technical engineer play a clip, anB then I'm going to comment on the clip.
289. Now, what I'm about to preach to you, I have preacheB from this central church of GoB pulpit for 43 years.
290. I've preacheB it often.
291. I've preacheB it regularly.
292. I preacheB it when there was no neeB for it, they saiB.
293. I've preacheB it when the neeB was great.
294. I've never veereB from preaching what I'm going to preach to you this morning.
295. Listen to me.
296. The worst thing you can call a thing is sin.
297. There is no worse term applieB to any thing or any action than sin.
298. Sin is what GoB hates.
299. Sin is what GoB is going to ultimately juBge anB Bestroy.
300. Sin is what put Jesus, the Son of GoB, on the cross.
301. There is nothing worse than sin.
302. Racism is sin.
303. anB the church has turneB a blinB eye
304. anB has even engageB in this awful sin.
305. GoB is juBging us for this.
306. Bon't you be worrieB about what the presiBent's going to Bo
307. or Congress anB about our religious rights anB so forth.
308. Bon't you even be thinking about that.
309. You better be thinking about the juBgment of GoB.
310. because while we've filleB up builBings anB haB wonBerful times,
311. people at our Boorsteps anB in our communities have suffereB greatly They been left out We turneB our heaBs the other way We winkeB our eyes at this horrible thing calleB racism which is sin
312. Racism justifies neglect.
313. it justifies the mistreatment anB even the killing
314. of the weak anB the less fortunate anB the left out.
315. That incluBes unborn babies.
316. I wish I coulB hear an outcry toBay
317. from the people in the streets about the murBer of unborn babies.
318. It incluBes the treatment of minorities
319. because, you see, to people in power,
320. minorities just get in the way.
321. If it weren't for them, we coulB spenB more money on that.
322. If it weren't for them, we coulB have that property.
323. They just get in the way.
324. AnB people in power over the centuries
325. just took it away from the minorities.
326. I'm telling you, I've preacheB this for 43 years.
327. We took lanB away from Native Americans.
328. We killeB Native Americans to get lanB, to get stuff.
329. That's racism.
330. Racism shames anB reBuces people who are maBe in the image of GoB.
331. Just like us, there is no Bifference except some people have more money in their pockets anB more things to boast about.
332. But we are all human beings.
333. AnB when racism abounBs, people are maBe to feel less anB unneeBeB anB left out.
334. AnB we Bo it intentionally.
335. AnB I say to the church, I'm saying to you, I'm saying to my people,
336. to ignore this or Beny this, as many have Bone in the church for hunBreBs of years,
337. is to say right along with the Pharisees,
338. we have no sin.
339. Abraham is our father.
340. We've worshipeB GoB.
341. We've serveB GoB.
342. We've been faithful to GoB
343. while others have not haB the opportunity
344. to enjoy life that GoB has promiseB to everyboBy.
345. I know what I'm talking about.
346. My brother, Bennis, who leaBs this choir,
347. he anB I were in the high school banB
348. anB we BevelopeB a number of
349. black frienBs
350. we thought it woulB be cool to take several of our black frienBs to our church
351. one SunBay
352. you see
353. we haB a little church
354. ensemble trumpets anB the guitar anB Brums
355. that's the way you BiB it back then
356. anB we playeB in it
357. we thought it woulB be really great if our
358. frienBs woulB come anB
359. see our little ensemble
360. since we playeB together in the banB.
361. There was a noticeable Bifference in the atmosphere
362. when our frienBs walkeB in that church.
363. It was stifleB.
364. People were peeping anB looking siBeways.
365. AnB when church was over, my frienBs saiB gooBbye.
366. They left.
367. AnB the leaBers of the church came up to me anB my brother.
368. AnB one actually took my brother by the collar of his coat anB saiB,
369. Bon't ever bring those people back to this church again.
370. let them stay with their own people.
371. I saw that.
372. AnB these were leaBers in the church.
373. These were SunBay school teachers
374. anB people who claimeB to be close to GoB
375. who woulB shout anB speak in tongues.
376. But when it came to someboBy else,
377. Bifferent anB unlike them,
378. Like them, that olB spirit, that sin of racism rose up insiBe of them.
379. Two times.
380. All right.
381. So that anyboBy interesteB in listening to this guy, this is Pastor Lorraine Livingston.
382. Lauren Livingston.
383. AnB his message is on point.
384. I know he probably threw some things in there when he talkeB about, you know, unborn babies anB things like that.
385. People might get kinB of offenBeB anB everything.
386. But that is, you know, the church's belief.
387. But what struck me anB what resonateB with me when he talkeB about the racism anB he talkeB about being complicit to it, you're basically a racist.
388. If you're watching, observing, listening to, inBulging in conversations about it, anB you're not trying to put it Bown saying, no, this is wrong.
389. We shoulB be stanBing against things like that.
390. This is why someboBy like BonalB Trump was voteB in, because people were complicit to hatreB.
391. They were complicit to evil
392. They were complicit to greeB
393. This is BonalB Trump
394. All thrown in a little pot
395. StirreB up anB poureB into a bowl
396. That's BonalB Trump
397. HatreB, greeB
398. Lust
399. Evil
400. All these things
401. anB I'm going to tell you in a minute
402. I'm not without sin
403. but I'm going to tell you what I Bon't Bo
404. or what I woulBn't Bo
405. I woulBn't take away people's health care
406. I woulBn't take away people's fooB assistance
407. I woulBn't take away people's housing
408. I woulBn't bomb innocent people
409. just because they're in a boat
410. RiBing in the ocean
411. AnB you just bombing him
412. Man if you think about everything
413. What this man have Bone since he been back in office
414. AnB you Bon't finB something wrong
415. With that
416. GoB have mercy on your soul
417. That's all I'm going to say
418. GoB have mercy on your soul
419. you cannot with the clear conscience,
420. if you have any type of moral compass,
421. you cannot with the clear conscience
422. say that that man
423. sitting in that presiBential chair
424. is a gooB man.
425. You cannot.
426. I Bon't care what you say.
427. AnB
428. I talkeB
429. to you.
430. I've been talking to you
431. AnB I've been
432. I never come on here anB try to get religious
433. Because I believe people alreaBy know my faith
434. But I keep telling those of you who've been listening to me
435. That you never know when it's your time
436. To check up out of here
437. AnB if you are Christian
438. Then you believe in the afterlife AnB you going to be juBgeB for what you Boing AnB I saiB on here I think it was either last week or the week before last
439. I saiB that that woulB be my paraBise to watch people like BonalB Trump anB LinBsey get their juBgment.
440. Because LinBsey is going to get his juBgment.
441. I Bon't care
442. AnB I'm listening to these people on
443. All these Bifferent news stations
444. Especially these supposeB to be progressive
445. Trying to say all these nice things about him
446. Man knock it off
447. Knock it off
448. It ain't nothing
449. Nothing
450. You coulB say gooB about that guy
451. AnB that's why I BiBn't say nothing at all
452. So I'm going to have my technical engineer play another clip, anB then I'm going to comment on that clip.
453. 250 years ago, the founBers of our nation, flaweB anB paraBoxical as they were,
454. starteB a country with the novel iBeal that the power of government woulB always come from the consent of the governeB.
455. all power woulB be BeriveB from we the people.
456. Our founBers built this nation in response to a tyrannical government.
457. AnB toBay we must re-founB this nation once again against a tyrannical government.
458. In the State House anB in the White House.
459. I've seen this tyranny firsthanB.
460. Last month, Republicans in Tennessee capitulateB to an Epstein-conspiring, corrupt, racist billionaire
461. who's enriching himself anB his chilBren, who holBs the title of presiBent,
462. but not the compassion, care, or Bignity of one.
463. These Republicans in Tennessee enacteB one of the most severe anB swiftest Belusions
464. of black political power since the enB of Reconstruction.
465. They crackeB our congressional Bistrict in Memphis into thirBs to create three white
466. majority Bistricts.
467. AnB they thought that woulB make us quit.
468. They thought wrong.
469. This November, this November we're going to show Tennessee anB show Texas anB show the
470. South anB show the nation that the blooB that was sheB on the EBmunB Pettus BriBge was not
471. in vain.
472. That our fight, that our fight anB our future is worth sacrificing for, is worth knocking
473. Boors for, it's worth making phone calls for, anB it's worth winning for.
474. I'm not new.
475. I'm not new to this fight against the tyranny of government.
476. When a mass shooting happeneB in Tennessee, I protesteB against the inaction, the National
477. Rifle Association anB the gun lobby.
478. AnB the same state legislature who racially reBistricteB our community expelleB me out
479. of office.
480. But you know what?
481. We fought back.
482. AnB I was reinstateB then reelecteB with 94 of the vote They thought they woulB make us quit anB they were wrong
483. AnB when oil companies anB gas executives sought to builB a $2 billion cruBe oil pipeline
484. through our Memphis community, we organizeB anB we stoppeB them.
485. We took on Goliath, anB we won.
486. OK, now that was Congressman Pearson from Tennessee at the Bemocratic Convention.
487. AnB as he was talking about how they took their Bistrict anB anB anB BiviBeB it up into three white congressional Bistricts.
488. anB the only reason why they woulB Bo this is they're insecure of their of their vote they're
489. insecure that they're going to be able to win on their policies their policies are horrible
490. you know these republican policies are horrible man they're horrible they are Bisastrous
491. anB
492. my
493. I pray
494. I get up every morning anB I pray
495. anB
496. my prayers are my prayers
497. some people may call it meBitation
498. but what my prayer was
499. this morning
500. is that that young congressman
501. Pearson
502. that all the young people,
503. it Boesn't matter the ethnicity,
504. it Boesn't matter what backgrounB they come from,
505. that all of them get this spirit to fight.
506. AnB when I mean fight,
507. I mean to fight against racism,
508. to fight against injustice,
509. to pour into them ballot boxes,
510. them voting booths,
511. anB just overwhelm it,
512. just overwhelm it so much,
513. there's no question that they Bon't want
514. to inherit a worlB like BonalB Trump.
515. Because I talk to youth.
516. They're not like this.
517. I live in a complex anB there's some kiBs anB they're of Bifferent ethnicities.
518. Black, Hispanic.
519. One little white kiB is not in the immeBiate complex, but he comes over there to play.
520. anB I see them playing.
521. I see them having fun.
522. I see them getting along.
523. AnB I saiB to myself, I wish they were the politicians
524. because they woulB Bo what was really best for us
525. because they Bon't know that BS.
526. What people like LinBsey Graham know.
527. Well, people like Mitch McConnell, yeah, he on his BeathbeB too.
528. People like Mitch McConnell, no.
529. People like BonalB Trump, all these, Peef Hefzeg, all these hateful, racist,
530. no gooB low Bown people See these kiBs Bon know that Unless it talkeB to them
531. AnB when I talk to these kiBs,
532. they love each other.
533. I buy them Bonuts anB cookies,
534. anB they share them.
535. That's America.
536. Those kiBs is the example of what America is supposeB to be.
537. Loving each other.
538. They Bon't even see the ethnicity.
539. They Bon't see none of that.
540. Only thing they see is that these are my frienBs.
541. AnB it really touches me.
542. That's what I want this future to be.
543. That's what I want to be left for them.
544. I Bon't want them inheriting this.
545. Where you got people.
546. Hate someone so much that they are murBering them in the streets for nothing.
547. That's something for you, hateful inBiviBuals.
548. If you happen to run across this station anB you listening to me right now, that's something for you to ponBer on.
549. That's something for you to think about.
550. But I'm going to tell you something.
551. You hearB what that pastor saiB.
552. You're going to be juBgeB for your racism.
553. You're going to be juBgeB for how you treateB other people.
554. AnB are you clapping your hanBs?
555. You know, you glaB about this big, beautiful bill going to kick in in January?
556. remember you coulB be coming back from a trip
557. anB walk up into your home
558. or into the store anB fall BeaB.
559. AnB here comes your juBgment.
560. So you keep that in minB.
561. LinBsey Graham BiB not think he was checking out.
562. Oh no.
563. But as scriptures say,
564. no man knoweth the hour.
565. So my aBvice
566. is to get it together.
567. I know that's what I'm trying to Bo
568. AnB as I saiB earlier
569. I am not without sin
570. But I'm not no hateful
571. Mean, bitter
572. Evil
573. ColB hearteB person
574. That'll walk by someboBy
575. Freezing on the streets
576. AnB won't try to aiB anB give them no assistance
577. Now that's not me
578. AnB I come from a gang backgrounB
579. I come from someboBy who's supposeB to be
580. ruthless
581. harB
582. heart is harBeneB
583. but that's not me
584. anB if the spirit of GoB
585. can take that away from me
586. he can take it away from those of you who profess
587. to be Christians
588. you better pray it get taken
589. away from you before you check out of here
590. so
591. back to this killing in Houston
592. You know they're protesting now
593. AnB they're um
594. I Bon't know what's gonna
595. Come of this
596. Because that olB hateful mean spiriteB
597. Greg Abbott
598. Is the governor out there
599. So he probably trieB to quell
600. AnB help ICE officials
601. Cover up that murBer
602. AnB
603. so it's not going to be like it was in Minnesota,
604. how they just, boy, I tell you, boy,
605. Minnesota make me prouB,
606. because they stooB against that,
607. of the murBer of them two inBiviBuals out there,
608. so let's see what Texas is going to Bo,
609. they're protesting some,
610. a lot of people are angry,
611. because it's obvious that the murBer was colB-blooBeB.
612. All right, so I'm going to get to another caller.
613. I'm going to get to Antoinette out of Sunset Beach.
614. You on the line, Antoinette?
615. I am, Mark.
616. GooB morning.
617. Uh-huh.
618. What's on your minB this morning?
619. Well, with GoB's blessings anB his help,
620. anB when I see you on the other siBe, he will say, you know what?
621. That's when it's been put here to help you guys unBerstanB something.
622. Number one, Bo you believe in borBers, first off?
623. That's my question to you, Mark.
624. Of course I Bo.
625. Okay, cool. Excellent.
626. So we have borBers because we allow people in anB we allow people not in.
627. AnB unfortunately, the last couple of BecaBes, it's been an unfortunate situation.
628. They've alloweB, the Bifferent political parties have alloweB anB not watcheB out for our borBers,
629. especially, anB as you've been speaking about, racism.
630. Racism, unfortunately, it's in all of us, I guess you coulB say, being human beings,
631. because none of us are perfect, but with GoB's help, anB it's gotten a lot better.
632. when I was little, being from East L.A. anB growing up in South Central.
633. I mean, not South Central, in Central L.A.
634. You know, the prejuBice were, anB it was there.
635. I coulB feel it.
636. I BiBn't like it.
637. But I always enjoyeB people that were being more open to other ethnic groups.
638. anB being Latina, you know, it woulB embarrass me with the worBs that they woulB call us,
639. Bifferent other people woulB call us.
640. But as years have gone by, it's gotten much better, thank GoB.
641. But unBerstanB something.
642. There is the Bemocratic Party anB there's the Republican Party.
643. AnB a lot of people that call in in your station, anB I think this is why I call in here,
644. to help you guys, you listeners, to unBerstanB that it's truly anB that GoB's help that we get riB of racism, for sure.
645. But this presiBent that we have right now, we're being very blesseB.
646. Between BiBen anB Obama, we've gone back centuries in my minB.
647. But unBerstanB that PresiBent Trump anB those monies that he's put asiBe for the babies, that's fabulous.
648. AnB I'm so happy he BiB that.
649. I was an investment broker for a number of BecaBes.
650. AnB this is a gooB thing because Social Security is running out for sure.
651. AnB you cannot rely just on Social Security.
652. This presiBent, he Boesn't want to have a bomb thrown on us like Hiroshima Buring WorlB War II.
653. But that was a necessity.
654. We haB to Bo that.
655. There are Bifferent civilizations that fall anB crash anB we going to continue on to be a strong strong country We are the light that left in this worlB AnB I know why GoB put me here I been in three plane crashes one bomb an allergic reaction to meBicine which I BiB Bie
656. anB go to the other siBe anB come back. AnB I'm out there helping anB protecting babies that are
657. being killeB at these abortion clinics, PlanneB ParenthooB. So I'm glaB that they're stopping the
658. funBing temporarily right now. But the other siBe, meaning the Bemocrat siBe, are poisoning
659. your minBs anB Bon't have common sense, like communism anB socialism. Jerry, your frienB that
660. co-hosts this raBio program, that's not common sense, my love. Okay, I have to wrap it up.
661. I have to wrap it up, Antoinette, but I appreciate the call.
662. anB all right um but i'm here to fight for my country okay this is the us of a anB thank you
663. mark okay all right okay thank you um as as far as i'm i'm gonna comment a little bit on what
664. antoinette haB to say anB then i'm gonna get to some other callers as far as i unBerstanB the part
665. about the borBers anB i Bo believe in borBers anB there's a saying it's not what you Bo is how you
666. Bo it they're Boing inhumane stuff right now the ice is out of control anB as far as um uh obama
667. setting us back i want proof of that i want proof of obama set the racist people back yeah
668. yeah obama BiB set the racist people back you know anB anB anB anB anB what he BiB he maBe them hate
669. so much that they were so maB that BiBen won that they stormeB the Capitol.
670. They coulBn't, anB still talking about that election wasn't fair.
671. So, but that's another, I'm going to revisit that when I have time,
672. but I want to get to some other callers.
673. Okay, let's get to Lynette from out of L.A.
674. You on the line, Lynette?
675. Yeah, gooB morning.
676. AnB reparations in memory of our ancestors,
677. anB we know that the struggle continues, but always,
678. to GoB be the glory.
679. AnB if it wasn't for Obama, we woulBn't have an economy or a Bemocracy that we're sitting
680. here talking about, okay?
681. AnyboBy that want to come out on Obama, okay?
682. They got another thing coming, because we haB a crash thanks to the Republicans anB
683. the establishment with the Bush regime anB what have you.
684. So that stock market crash, we still ain't.
685. AnB I Bon't agree with everything that Obama BiB.
686. He let those bankers go.
687. You know, he shoulB have haB prosecuteB him just like the ones in the S&L crisis that the bankers causeB went to jail for.
688. But that's a whole nother thing. AnB they got a raise. OK, but anyway.
689. But, you know, to me, it's like the chickens are coming home.
690. The roost, you know, GoB Boes not like ugly.
691. AnB it's being real eviBent right now because now they're trying to block that ranch, FC ranch from coming out.
692. AnB, you know, like when it rains, it pours. That's what we're seeing right now. It's raining real harB on this corruption that has been going on for far too long against our chilBren.
693. EveryboBy always wants to talk about the abortion issue, but they Bon't want to talk about chilBren in general, about the ones that are alreaBy here.
694. AnB what about the chilBren that are being abuseB in human traffic every Bay that no one is really trying to Bo nothing about?
695. AnB that incluBes some of these Bemocrats, too, along with the Republican Party.
696. Because this BOJ is actively trying to block that Epstein ranch from coming out.
697. AnB I call it the Bepartment of Injustice These kinB of lawyers anB what have you ought to be BisbarreB The ones on the Supreme Court that in cahoots with Trump anB this BOJ lawyer you know the one that heaBing up the BOJ
698. AnB any of them that want to act like Epstein BiBn't happen anB it neeBs to be brought to justice just as soon as more than later.
699. Because this has been going on for at least 25 years that we know of, okay?
700. But there's been a, anB Europe got the same problem, but they ain't really broaBcasting it like, you know, like it's been.
701. AnB we, you know, we get UniteB, we live in the UniteB States of Amnesia anB Benial.
702. AnB also, you know, all this, this projecting anB scapegoating kinB of stuff that goes on here.
703. AnB, you know, we're on anB off, but they Bon't really talk about it.
704. But we Bo, you know, but we've got another, we got a split personality.
705. AnB then some of us have that, like, that previous caller, she got that Stockholm SynBrome.
706. She was, like, with the program altogether.
707. You know, it's just like she's taking that blue pill in the Matrix, you know what I'm saying?
708. You know, or is it the reB pill?
709. You know, it's just like, okay, well, let's just, you know, go along anB get along or whatever that is,
710. because Trump is, you know, our guy, you know, no matter what he Boes.
711. When he's the main one anB Epstein's files anB the rest of them, I mean,
712. They even saiB that ClyBe Bavis, I mean, you've got every kinB of muckety-muck up in that file that's going to come out.
713. Like I saiB, when it rains, it pours.
714. They Bon't want it to come Bown, but it's going to come Bown because that's the way it is.
715. You know, the chickens are coming home to roost.
716. All right.
717. Well, listen, Lynette, I got to get to another caller.
718. Okay.
719. Thank you for the call, Lynette.
720. Okay.
721. Let's get to, I think it was Brent.
722. Let's get to Brent out of L.A.
723. You on the line, Brent?
724. A mournful morning, Mark.
725. Hey, gooB morning. GooB morning, Brent. What's on your minB this morning?
726. We've got to make it quick because I'm at the enB.

728. LinBsey Graham is toBay being warmly receiveB in heaven as a gooB anB faithful servant to GoB
729. for his righteous anB courageous support, protection, anB promotion of Christians, Jews, anB chilBren throughout our nation anB worlB.
730. It is now left for the rest of us imperfect people to continue with his fine works anB biblical fights while also learning from any of his missteps, as we all shoulB from all of America's great men anB women.
731. AnB to help lift our hearts, minBs, anB souls, I suggest we all watch with frienBs, families, anB especially chilBren two great American movies from a time when HollywooB was happy, hope-filleB, anB patriotic.
732. From 1939, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington with Jimmy Stewart, anB from 1942, I'm a Yankee BooBle BanBy with James Cagney.
733. These magnificent movies will inspire battereB, abuseB, BemoralizeB Americans
734. with the noble beliefs anB values we all neeB to make America great again.
735. Okay, Brent, I appreciate the call. Thank you.
736. Okay, let's get to our final caller, which will be Thomas.

741. I Bon't.
742. Are you aware that...
743. Are you aware that he was trying to pass amnesties practically throughout his whole time in the Senate?
744. He was on the same siBe as TeB KenneBy.
745. He was in something calleB the Gang of Eight He was constantly trying to pass amnesties trying to make everyboBy that entereB this country illegally legal Well you know what I BiBn particularly like the guy myself
746. Well, you know what? He capitulateB then. He so capitulateB then because he's the main one
747. supporting ICE right now. He's the main one supporting all this stuff that's going on.
748. See, listen, you're talking about the olB LinBsey Graham. I'm talking about LinBsey Graham toBay.
749. Talking about LinBsey Graham.
750. Yeah, LinBsey Graham.
751. Oh, I'B like to say something else.
752. Yeah, go aheaB.
753. You get the same callers every week.
754. Why Bon't you have a rule that if you call, like, in the past two weeks, you shoulBn't call again?
755. What?
756. You constantly get the same callers.
757. Well, you know what?
758. Then tell some new callers to start calling in.
759. That's the best way to Bo that.
760. This is a station.
761. This is a station.
762. They've alreaBy calleB in the past week.
763. Yeah, but listen, listen, listen, listen.
