This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare. | |
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran, This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec. | |
Deliver us from evil. | |
Do not make peace with evil. | |
Destroy it! | |
I'm done trying to make peace with these people. | |
I'm done trying. | |
Because you know what? | |
We've tried. | |
We've tried for so many years. | |
We said we're going to be tolerant. | |
We said we're going to be accepting. | |
Perfecting. | |
We said we're going to be liberal. | |
You know what? | |
I'm done with all of it. | |
I think it's time for a healthy dose of illiberalism. | |
Are you with me, folks? | |
It's time for a healthy dose of reminding them who we are. | |
Because we know who they are, but folks, it's time to talk about who we are. | |
We are the men and women of the United States of America. | |
Our ancestors are the ones who built this country with their grit, with their determination, with their blood, sweat, and tears. | |
and by God, I am not gonna let them people take this country from us. | |
We have come too far, and we have been pushing this for too long to just roll over and give up. | |
I don't know how to give up. | |
I don't know how to quit. | |
I don't know how to surrender. | |
I don't know how to make peace with evil. | |
I don't know how to roll over and die and just take it. | |
It's not in my DNA and it's not in our DNA. | |
They want you to forget our history. | |
They want you to forget our heritage. | |
They want you to forget who we are. | |
They wanna tell you, they wanna tell you that there's something wrong with you because you pray to Almighty God. | |
They wanna tell you that there's something wrong with you because your skin is too white. | |
They're gonna tell you that there's something wrong with you because you're too talented, because you have too much ambition, because you're too male, because you've got mail. | |
You know something? | |
And I say this to all the guys. | |
I think it's about time we start bringing the patriarchy back. | |
I think it's time we start bringing back a little bit of the patriarchy. | |
I'm not saying complete. | |
To the ladies. | |
We love the ladies, folks. | |
We love the ladies. | |
But I'm saying we need a little bit more balance. | |
You know what I'm talking about? | |
We need a little bit more balance. | |
We've tried the matriarchy out for a little bit. | |
They tried to go a little bit too far because they wanted to put Hillary Clinton up there. | |
But someone intervene with that. | |
And I do believe, I do believe, right, we are demonizing men in this country and all across the West. | |
We are demonizing specifically white Christian men. | |
And I say to my two little boys, my two little white Christian boys, who have never done anything to anyone, you tell me why they should have to work twice as hard as anybody else because of the color of their skin or the fact that they believe in God or their gender. | |
No, I'm done with all of it, and I'm not making peace with these people ever again. | |
I can't do it. | |
I can't. | |
And I won't do it for them. | |
And I say this to all the Turning Point students as well. | |
I'm sick of it. | |
And I'm sick of apologizing for the West. | |
Why should we apologize for creating the modern world? | |
Why should we apologize for creating technology, for building the cities, for exploring the stars? | |
We're not apologizing for it. | |
In fact, it's time we start celebrating it. | |
It's time we start celebrating Who we are, where we came from, the institutions that we have built and fought for, the wars we've won, and we're not apologizing for who we are. | |
We are the Western civilization. | |
We are the inheritors of it, and it's time we start acting like it. | |
"The West is the best, and they are not going to take our civilization from us." What can I say, folks? | |
I'm a little energetic this morning. | |
Maybe because I slept on a MyPillow last night. | |
Promo code POSO. | |
Never Tanya. | |
No promo code. | |
Do we have any promo code Tanya people here? | |
All right. | |
No! | |
Come on! | |
I'm surrounded by treachery, treachery and wickedness. | |
And Tanya, my own wife, my own wife, turning my own promo code against me. | |
But I got to say, we do. | |
And she turns me. | |
She said, she says, oh, I thought you were a capitalist. | |
She's good, what can I say, she's good. | |
I'll keep her around, I think I'll keep her around, but folks, that's the beauty of it, right? | |
That's the beauty of America, that's the beauty of the West, the beauty of our ideals. | |
They will sit there and tell you everything wrong, every little mistake, every little, every time you forgot to cross an I, or, you know, it's good, cross an I, dot an I, cross a T. They'll go through everything like that, but they will forget, they will forget the amazing things that the West has done and that the West has built. | |
They will turn around and they will tell you that it's not the West that did this and it wasn't the fact that our country was based on a simple set of principles. | |
We have the Constitution, we have the Declaration, but that is not where the principles came from. | |
The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence We're enshrining the principles of the Holy Bible, which were handed to us and given to us by Almighty God. | |
And it's as simple as that, folks. | |
It's as simple as that. | |
And they tell you, they tell you that if you want to stand up for those things, That you're acting like a dictator. | |
Like a dictator, right? | |
That's the word that they keep saying all the time now. | |
It's a dictator. | |
It's a dictator. | |
So let me go through the list of things that a dictator might do. | |
I say, oh, a dictator. | |
You mean like locking up your political opposition? | |
You mean like banning your political opposition online? | |
You mean like investigating the church with your secret police? | |
You mean like starting wars that can't be finished? | |
You mean like corrupting yourself and enriching yourself through the corruption of your family? | |
Your family members? | |
You mean a dictator like that? | |
By the way, I'm not talking about Joe Biden. | |
I'm talking about Vladimir Zelensky. | |
Oops. | |
Oops. | |
You know, they said back in 1963, they said, you know, in the future, we'll have levitating cars. | |
But it turns out that today, the only thing Democrats are levitating are their own staffers on the Senate floor. | |
Shots fired. | |
Look. | |
Look. | |
We've seen what they've done. | |
Right? | |
The American Shaman, by the way, is here this weekend at AmericaFest. | |
Did you see the American Shaman? | |
He's here in full garb. | |
He's got the horns back on, folks. | |
You know, he hasn't had the horns on. | |
The horns are back. | |
The horns are back. | |
And I asked him, I remember, I said to him, so I got to interview the American Shaman. | |
For the very first interview that he's done with the horns on, with his patriotic, his entire getup. | |
And I said, why did you put the horns back on? | |
What was it, Jake? | |
What made you want to put them back on now? | |
You know what he said to me? | |
He said, Jack, because it's time. | |
It's time. | |
This is the time as we stand at the precipice, the precipice of 2024. | |
Going into what we know will be one of the greatest challenges our nation has ever faced, and dare I say, our civilization has ever faced. | |
If we want to continue the West, we must attain victory for our values and principles in 2024. | |
And I say, I say it this way. | |
They say when Alexander the Great One of the greatest warriors and leaders of all time. | |
They say right before he marched into the Persian Empire, that he held a massive banquet. | |
He's in Anatolia. | |
Now this was Turkey today. | |
It was Anatolia then, the Greek Empire. | |
And he brought together all of his lieutenants and all of his generals. | |
And they called it the Gathering of the Macedonians. | |
And he said, tonight we dine, for tomorrow we march. | |
Well, I see before me, here today, gathered in Arizona at Turning Point AmericaFest, a gathering of Macedonians today. | |
You are the modern-day Macedonians. | |
You are the modern-day political warriors. | |
You are the modern-day spiritual warriors, for we are in a spiritual battle. | |
And I say to you, here at AmericaFest, Tonight we dine, tomorrow we march into Persia. | |
Are you ready? | |
Are you ready to fight? | |
And I'll tell you something else. | |
You remember those Remember those church moms back in the 1980s? | |
All the church moms out there who were warning about the direction of our country. | |
They said, our country is becoming demonic. | |
They said, our country is becoming Satan. | |
They all warned us. | |
All those church moms in the 1980s. | |
And what did the establishment say? | |
The establishment told them to shut up. | |
The establishment told them to pipe down. | |
They said, be quiet. | |
They said, We don't need to worry about you, you church moms, in the 1980s. | |
Well, let me tell you something. | |
We're the sons and daughters of those church moms of the 1980s. | |
Now you got something to worry about, because you will not tell us to shut up. | |
And they raised us. | |
Now you got a problem. | |
And because when we see the celebration of the demonic, when we see the celebration of the satanic on public display in after-school programs, in public meeting halls, and even the Iowa State Capitol with a statue | |
Of Satan and a ritual altar to Satan on public display. | |
I say, I say I can't tolerate evil anymore. | |
And someone has to do something about this. | |
Well, I got a little surprise for you, AmericaFest. | |
Because someone did do something about that. | |
And that someone is here today, all the way from Des Moines, Iowa, ladies and gentlemen, Michael Cassidy! | |
Hey, man. | |
Thanks for having me, dude. | |
Let's hear it again from Michael Cassidy. | |
How many of y'all agree with me that our country should reject the devil? | |
How many of y'all agree with me that our nation should honor God? | |
If you are a Christian, please do not be ashamed of your faith. | |
The world tells us to be ashamed of our faith. | |
The world teaches us to keep that light under the bushel. | |
That's not what Jesus tells us to do, though. | |
Jesus tells us to not be ashamed of him and of his words. | |
This is what I want to come from this moment. | |
I want Christians to reinvigorate their faith. | |
I want you to talk to your fellow Christians, get them into church, get involved in church, into the non-Christians out there. | |
Talk to your fellow Christians, your friends. | |
Figure out why do we believe what we believe? | |
Why do we have such passion that we are unwilling, that we are willing to risk jail, To risk our jobs in order that the devil is not tolerated. | |
Not again. | |
No. | |
No. | |
Michael, tell us just briefly, what was it like when you walked into the Iowa State Capitol and you saw before you, at Christmas time, that statue and that altar? | |
It was an abomination. | |
I was surprised. | |
There's almost nobody, there's one man in there. | |
I would have thought that there would have been, you know, a politician to yell at, to say, hey man, take this down, a security guard or something. | |
But there was nobody there. | |
It was just that evil statue that was there to influence families, to influence children. | |
One of the bits of hate mail that I got actually after this was from an Iowa father. | |
He told me that he was mad at me for doing what I did because he could not show his daughter, the satanic icon, at the state capitol. | |
How far has our nation fallen if that is the kind of mentality that we have from people, from men and women in our country today? | |
And that's another thing that I want to come from this, is for people to wake up. | |
For us to wake up to understand that there is evil in the world, the devil is real, and we can't ignore him. | |
The Satanists, they may think it's a game, they may think it's just a big joke to, you know, trigger us, but the devil's real, and we have to be wary of him. | |
Amen. | |
And you notice what he said. | |
You notice what the man said. | |
They always target the children. | |
They always go for the children. | |
The youngest among us, whether it's for the drag queen story hours, whether it's satanic ritual worship, or worse, and if you've seen the movie Sound of Freedom, you may know. | |
Which, by the way, You guys don't mind if I drop some receipts while I'm here, do you? | |
Sound of Freedom, they just posted their latest box office number. | |
$250 million worldwide. | |
It is now the number one movie of the entire year. | |
Number one. | |
And it's very simple, folks. | |
God's children are not for sale. | |
Not in the Iowa State Capitol, not on the border, not in Ukraine with the organ trafficking and the child trafficking. | |
No. | |
It is time for Christians to rise up and fight back. | |
It's time. | |
And I said when this happened in the Iowa State Capitol, gotta say, not only did God send a fellow Navy man, but God sent an Irishman. | |
Michael, what would your message be to those out there? | |
And we just have a few closing minutes. | |
What would your message be to those who say that we need to be tolerant, we need to be accepting the blessings of liberty, the First Amendment. | |
What would your message be to that? | |
First of all, there is no equivalency between God and the devil. | |
They are the polar opposites. | |
And we should not listen to those who tell us That Satan and Jesus Christ, that they're the same. | |
So those are the, that's the big thing, is that it's easy to come up with, you know, big logical arguments one way or the other, but at its simple core, it really is this simple. | |
God is great, the devil is evil, and we should reject him, reject the devil. | |
Amen. | |
Well, let's close with that, folks. | |
As we like to say at the church I go to, ladies and gentlemen, do you reject Satan and all his works? | |
Yes. | |
Are you prepared to do battle on the spiritual plane? | |
Yes. | |
Are you prepared to put on the full armor of God? | |
Yes. | |
Are you prepared to go up with the sword of St. Michael the archangel leading us into that battle? | |
Are you prepared to defend the Constitution, the Declaration, our ancestors, our heritage, and our American nation? | |
Are you prepared to go all the way? | |
Are you prepared to do what must be done? | |
Ladies and gentlemen, I tell you right now, when I see this army of Macedonians before me, we will win. | |
Yes. | |
Yeah, man. | |
Thank you. | |
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome here to part two of this episode. | |
I gotta tell you, this year's AmericaFest, and I've been going to AmericaFests, and really just Turning Point events in general, for years at this point, probably five, six years now, and I've seen these events grow from student-led and student-driven, well, really it was student-only to begin with, but now they've grown, they've become all-encompassing. | |
This really is an action conference because we're putting together action, not just for ourselves, not just for our organization, but here this year, going into 2024, all of the action, all of the energy, all of the planning and all of the action, all of the energy, all of the planning and all of In the intelligence community, we used to say, "INW." What are the indications and warnings? | |
Indications and warnings of what's to come ahead. | |
That was my job every day, and that's what we do here at AmericaFest. | |
If I have any role at Turning Point, I would say, that's what I try to do with the team, is just pay attention to what's on the waterfront, what's coming over the horizon, not for the organization, but for our country, for our way of life, Because it's ultimately about our children. | |
And unfortunately, when I look at our country, there are not only threats to our way of life, and people say, oh the enemies are abroad, but I look at what's going on internally in our country, And there's certain things that I just can't tolerate because they're just not right. | |
And I talk about it every day. | |
Well, I wanted to introduce you to another guy who also saw something that he thought was just not right down at the Iowa State Capitol when they put up a statue of Satan. | |
And God sent one man, an Irishman, of course, named Michael Cassidy to do something about it. | |
Michael joins us now here on Human Events Daily. | |
Thank you so much. | |
Jack, thanks for having me. | |
And if I could just say on behalf of my family and just everybody out there, thank you for what you did. | |
Thank you. | |
So so walk us through it. | |
You hear about the statue, you see it on social media. | |
What went on in your mind that made you want to do something about this? | |
You know, at first I saw it and I couldn't believe it. | |
I mean, a statue to Satan in our government, in a Capitol building. | |
I thought it was Babylon V. I'm like, I wanted to text Seth Dillon and be like, is this, did you guys do like a funny, like is this a prank? | |
Yeah, and it wasn't a prank. | |
It was a real statue to Satan. | |
And you know, the Satanists, I think they, some of them may think it's just a joke, that they're just trying to troll people, but the devil's real. | |
And you know, there are kids, there are families that are up in the Iowa State Capitol scene A statue of Satan. | |
And that's wrong. | |
And so it struck me, again, as wrong. | |
I assumed that it would not be up for much longer. | |
That, you know, the people that put it up would say, we made a mistake. | |
We're sorry. | |
This was an oversight. | |
And they would have gotten rid of it. | |
I saw on Wednesday that the statue, the icon, was still there. | |
And I've seen a lot of people talk about First Amendment and all sorts of other things, but it really was this simple. | |
It was wrong to be there. | |
It shouldn't be there. | |
Satan should not be praised in government. | |
God should be praised. | |
God is good. | |
Satan is bad. | |
And so I bought a plane ticket up to Iowa. | |
I had No true plan of what exactly what's gonna happen. | |
I don't know if you've seen the movie Field of Dreams Oh, yeah. | |
Yeah. | |
Yeah, and at the end of the movie there's a scene where James Earl Jones is saying, you know, and people are gonna they'll come to Iowa for no Without understanding why and as I was as the plane was landing in Des Moines I had that same scene going through my in my in my head and I'm like, yeah No, the field is still there. | |
You may have actually flown over babies. | |
It was stark. | |
So, okay But then the next I mean I prayed on it the next morning, but you know about flying at night. | |
Oh, yeah I prefer flying during the day and then It was the next morning. | |
I got up. | |
I went to the Capitol. | |
I didn't know what to expect, whether there'd be politicians there that I could, you know, yell at and say, hey, idiots, take this thing down, whether there'd be security there, whether there'd be protesters. | |
I didn't know. | |
I got there. | |
And nobody was there. | |
There was one, I think, a Catholic man, praying in Latin and English. | |
But that was the only guy, no security. | |
And again, seeing it in person, that statue, man, it was different than seeing it on social media. | |
Different how? | |
It clarified how evil it was. | |
Like, I knew it was bad, but it's like, actually seeing it in person, it made me realize that, yes, it had to come down. | |
How tall was it? | |
About six feet, something like that. | |
Wow. | |
Yeah, so it was some, you know, it was some cheap mannequin with a, again, some cheap goat head on top of it. | |
It came apart pretty easily. | |
Did you have something? | |
Some instrument? | |
No, I've seen the memes with a hammer, with a sword or something like that. | |
There is nothing like that. | |
St. | |
Boniface had an axe, famously. | |
I just had my hands. | |
And then after I did what I did, I went back to security and I said, hey, remember me? | |
This is what I did. | |
They were surprised, but they were professional. | |
They ended up calling the cops over and we talked and in the end they ended up giving me a citation and then they sent me on my way. | |
So I never got arrested. | |
There's no mugshot out there of me. | |
I know a lot of people were asking about that. | |
Right, right. | |
Well, and I look at this because, look, we live in a country where we've seen people, and I'm not going to say what you did was political, I don't feel it was political, but we do live in a country where people in the name of politics over the last few years have committed Millions of acts of civil disobedience and all gotten away with a slap on the wrist. | |
And we're not talking about just, you know, sort of knocking over a papier-mâché idol here. | |
We're talking about burning down cities, lobbing bricks, and all throughout 2020, bricks and flaming influence, Molotov cocktails, and in many cases, I remember seeing, I was in Washington D.C. | |
at the inauguration in 2021, and you had hundreds of people attack the inauguration, blocking traffic, blocked me in traffic. | |
Like me, I was there with my fiancé at the time, my wife now, and my brother, and we're just trying to get home, and they're blocking the roads, they're screaming, they're setting stuff on fire. | |
Those people ended up suing the city of D.C. | |
The ACLU came in for them, the ACLU defends them, the city of DC apologizes, and then cuts them a check for 1.2 million dollars after they committed the civil disobedience. | |
And so, I guess what I say is, when I see people out there and they're criticizing you for what you did, and they're saying you shouldn't have done that, it's like, you're the same people who have been doing this for years, championing it, and the ACLU supports it. | |
So I have to ask, You know, has the ACLU called you if they set you up with legal representation? | |
Have they said they're going to be filing amicus briefs on your behalf? | |
I mean, they must be banging down your door right now, man. | |
I've had a lot of people reach out. | |
If they've reached out, I may have missed it. | |
May have missed that call. | |
Yeah, the equivalency that I hear about is that satanic statues and scenes of the nativity That they're equal and there are a lot of people that you know go back and forth and try to come up with a lot of Logical arguments one way or the other and I certainly have my opinion, but the it's really as simple as Satan is bad And Jesus Christ is good. | |
And we shouldn't be promoting things that are evil in our society. | |
I think it's that simple. | |
No, it really is because people, and look, I've gotten into the debates myself online, and I was even having those debates before you even did this. | |
And one thing I pointed out is that if you go back to our Constitution, if you go back to the Framers, if you go back to the original First Amendment, and we actually pulled up, we did this on the show the other day, and we pulled up Webster's Dictionary. | |
Now, there's Webster's Dictionary today, which is a little different, but Webster, because it's actually, we have a copy of what Webster's Dictionary looked like. | |
It's from like 1827. | |
So right around the time, within a 30-year delta to when the actual First Amendment was, you know, in 1791, when it was passed. | |
So a pretty similar definition to what would have been understood at the time of the Founders. | |
So 1827, the Founders are all still alive, for the most part, you know, the younger ones. | |
I think Washington may have passed by then. | |
But they're all around. | |
So this was the understanding of the word religion at the time. | |
So if you look at, and here's the amazing, we talk about deltas, the delta from what Webster said then to what Webster said now. | |
Now, if you read Webster, it says, the worship of the supernatural is the definition of religion. | |
Worship of the supernatural, which is like, how do you define that? | |
Like it's just any supernatural thing. | |
Yeah, it's Satan. | |
If you go back to the time of the founders, and it's long, but the essence of it is the worship of God. | |
So the worship of God. | |
And so at the time, and you can go through state after state after state, the very state legislatures, so we all know it was the states that ratified the Constitution. | |
That's like, well, okay, I say we all know, but they don't always teach that as much anymore. | |
But if you look into it, you find this new information. | |
States ratified the Constitution, and then it is those same state legislatures, immediately after ratifying the Bill of Rights, 9 out of the 10 or something like 9 tenths of them pass blasphemy laws in the states and say, we actually are going to make it illegal to blaspheme God. | |
Some of these were challenged. | |
They were on the books all the way up through the 1920s. | |
Yeah. | |
And so for 150 years in our country and in our history, it was understood that religion meant the worship of God. | |
Now, we would, you know, we support it, and it all goes back to the history of the Church of England, and there's not going to be a Church of America, and you understand the actual history of why they put it there. | |
It never meant that they were enshrining beliefs to whatever you feel like. | |
It was a specific And even in the Iowa State Constitution, it was a civic belief, they even say in the Iowa Constitution, the worship of the supreme being. | |
It's right there. | |
And this is something that I've been going at it with the community notes people on X and the liberal lawyers on X, and they don't understand. | |
I'm not talking about the Supreme Court case law. | |
And the bad case law that I believe has come out, I'm talking about the history of the First Amendment and the history of religious freedom in this country. | |
And the history of religious freedom in this country has always been that religion has, at the original founding, right? | |
And this is where you, you know, nowadays we talk about the living constitution and the, uh, you know, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, interpretation of a new interpretation of how I interpret. | |
It's different from how you interpret, right? | |
And it's, and that's how you get You get a constitution that means nothing, actually. | |
And so what it meant at the time of the writing was the respect of the worship of God would be protected. | |
And as Satan is the enemy of God, Right, the antithesis of God. | |
In fact, Satan's motto, non servus, do not serve. | |
Do not serve. | |
So if that's what Satanism stands for, and even this new one is like a fake religion. | |
So from a legal perspective, by the way, if they admit they're not a real religion, then there you go. | |
Right? | |
You don't get religious protection. | |
The end. | |
Secondly, though, The state governments have the ability to support or oppose whatever they want in their state houses. | |
That's the 10th Amendment. | |
Because all powers not given to the federal government are given to the states. | |
And it's like, it's like we just forgot all of this. | |
Yeah. | |
And it's amazing. | |
Tell me about the response you've received. | |
I'm sure you've had a lot of people very upset about it, but tell me about some of the personal response you've received. | |
So I've definitely had a lot of positive. | |
I've had a lot of negative. | |
It's really There's really been remarkable people, you know, who I've got no idea who they are, that have said, you know, we think what's happening in our society is so bad. | |
And we're glad that somebody has taken a firm stand and said Satanism is bad. | |
And so that's been good to see. | |
Something that was tragic. | |
I mean, I've gotten a lot of hate mail. | |
When you say hate mail, do you mean, do they have your address? | |
Do they come into your house? | |
No, like Facebook and Twitter X. And one thing, one message I got was from a father in Iowa. | |
And he was mad at me because of the statute no longer being there. | |
That he could no longer show his daughter The satanic idol that he wanted, he had hoped later that day to have shown his daughter the statue of Satan. | |
And I think that, you know, that kind of hopefully puts things in perspective for people that maybe aren't paying that much attention to how important or how much of an impact these idols, these icons can have. | |
On the average American, that if you see Satan being praised, being normalized, then you're going to have people that get drawn to Satan. | |
I don't want that. | |
I'm, again, very simple. | |
I want people to reject Satan. | |
I want people to accept Jesus Christ. | |
And that's really, that's the center point of what I hope comes out of all of this. | |
And seeing somebody No, and it's interesting that, I'll just say it, it's interesting that when you hear from the Satanists, it's always children. | |
It's always gotta take the children. | |
It's like, you know, we had the same issue with the Drag Queen Story Hours. | |
And it's always, and I was like, why is it always Drag Queen Story Hour to children? | |
Why isn't it, you know, every year Drag Queen Story Hour to the elderly, or the nursing homes, or the homeless, or the downtrodden. | |
You know, no, no, no, no, no. | |
It's, you know, the addicts, or the people in recovery. | |
No, no, no. | |
It's always children. | |
We always have to focus on the children because they understand that if you get people, you get them at a young age. | |
If you target them at that age, if you indoctrinate them, and as you say, if you normalize these things. | |
Look, I've got kids. | |
Do you have kids? | |
Okay. | |
One day. | |
One day. | |
Will day. | |
One day. | |
Day is full. | |
That with my kids, they believe whatever you tell them. | |
They believe whatever you tell them. | |
That you say something to them and it's like, because they want to please their parents. | |
They want to please mom and dad. | |
They want to make mom and dad happy. | |
Well, one of my kids. | |
The other kid, not so much. | |
You know, the younger one, he's more like, what can I get away with? | |
And the other one tries to get away with it too, but he's a little trickier about it. | |
See, he's good at hiding it, you know. | |
The other one's like, but mom! | |
You know, you play mom against dad, that whole thing. | |
They're good, you know. | |
It's like, I wonder who they learned that from. | |
I have no idea. | |
Rush Limbaugh used to have this, he called them little skulls full of mush. | |
And they really, they're malleable. | |
And so, when we see this promoted in societies, children will follow that which is promoted. | |
And we see this across, you know, I hate to say it, but certain countries of the Middle East, where they promote terrorism, where they promote violence, and you see children saying, I want to grow up and do that. | |
Yeah. | |
It's the same idea. | |
And it's the same thing with celebrities in the U.S. | |
and athletes. | |
And, you know, I wish that we would go back to promoting, like, you know, military and firefighters and EMTs and police officers and, you know, the actual people that support our society and make ourselves do better. | |
But, you know, maybe one day. | |
Maybe one day. | |
You know, but, you know, priests, nuns, people who just, like, help the community. | |
Crazy, I know. | |
But, but... | |
We've got a couple of minutes left. | |
Let people know. | |
And I saw that you had initially raised a certain amount of money in your Give, Send, Go. | |
You had closed it off, but then you reopened it because you heard there's more potential legal investigations going on. | |
Can you give us an update from the legal side for our viewers to understand where that currently stands? | |
Sure. | |
The only charge that has been filed against me is the state of Iowa, fourth degree criminal mischief, I believe, a misdemeanor. | |
There are other... Any jail time on that? | |
Potentially. | |
Wow. | |
Potentially. | |
Okay. | |
And then there's some other potential legal matters that I'd rather not go into, but I assure you that they're present. | |
We've got a fundraiser. | |
It's on my ex-account. | |
Sentinel put it up. | |
It's a GiveSendGo with my name, Michael Cassidy. | |
Just Google it, you'll find it. | |
I may have posted it once or twice. | |
Yeah, thank you. | |
And to be clear, it's... | |
I don't touch that money. | |
It doesn't go to me. | |
I have authority to delegate that to my legal counsel. | |
And any money that we do not use for that is going to go to some sort of Christian legal defense fund. | |
It's not going to me. | |
This was not done for So you're saying any money that's left over after your cases are done will be turned over to a Christian Legal Defense Fund? | |
Absolutely. | |
100%. | |
Incredible. | |
Incredible. | |
So we're going to keep that going then. | |
And I know here we're filming this at Turning Point AmFest. | |
Turning Point has pledged $10,000. | |
Yeah, thank you. | |
Human Events, we will keep this thing going. | |
However much you need, however long it takes, we will keep it going. | |
And urging our viewers, urging our listeners, do what you can. | |
Because I'll say this. | |
Whatever the fight, you know, you call the fight for our nation, the fight for our soul is, I don't believe we're in a political battle. | |
And I'll ask you about this for a final minute. | |
Do you believe that there is a spiritual war going on right now? | |
Absolutely. | |
Absolutely. | |
That, you know, people don't want to believe that the devil is real. | |
Like the Satanists, they'll joke that, oh no, we don't actually believe in the devil. | |
But scripture is very clear that the devil is real and will try to lead people away from Christ. | |
And we have to acknowledge that. | |
And if we just think that satanic statues have no effect, that's wrong. | |
Because there's always been a spiritual war going on for our souls. | |
Amen. | |
You know, they say the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist. | |
And if you were a true Satanist, the best way to get Satanism to spread is to tell people, oh, it's just a joke. | |
It's just a troll. | |
It's just a prank. | |
And then suddenly there's statues going up everywhere, there's after-school programs, and they use it to fight for abortion in Texas against the heartbeat bills. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Cassidy. | |
Give this man a follow. | |
Support him. | |
And we need more Michael Cassidys across this nation. |
