[00:00:13]  Alright, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show.
[00:00:16]  A little bit of chaos on a Wednesday, never bad for anybody.
[00:00:19]  Overcoming chaos leads to outstanding improvement.
[00:00:23]  That's the way I look at it.
[00:00:24]  Welcome, Bob Franz sitting in for Dennis Prager.
[00:00:26]  I am live in the ReliefFactor.com studios.
[00:00:28]  Of AM 1420. The answer here in Cleveland, Ohio.
[00:00:31]  Very windy Cleveland, Ohio.
[00:00:33]  Not as windy as it is in Alabama and some of the southeast tornadoes overnight and into this morning.
[00:00:42]  So to all listeners in that area or who have family members in that area, obviously prayers and best wishes.
[00:00:50]  To everybody.
[00:00:51]  I saw this morning two people were killed in a twister in Alabama and a lot more weather.
[00:00:55]  So kind of some severe, weird second season violent weather stuff.
[00:01:01]  You know, tornado season usually coming in from spring.
[00:01:04]  Winter into spring leads to some of that.
[00:01:07]  There's, you know, temperatures and different things clashing.
[00:01:11]  But it also happens when you go from fall to winter, too.
[00:01:13]  So we're dealing with some of that now.
[00:01:14]  So to all of those dealing with tough weather, our thoughts are with you.
[00:01:18]  To everybody else.
[00:01:19]  We've got a lot to talk about today.
[00:01:21]  Our country is under attack, friends.
[00:01:24]  Our country is under attack honestly, seriously, literally, unlike it has ever been under attack before.
[00:01:32]  Now, we've been under physical attack.
[00:01:34]  We have been hit by terrorism.
[00:01:36]  We were hit on 9-11.
[00:01:38]  We were hit, of course, in December of 1941 by Japan.
[00:01:42]  I mean, we have been attacked in some ways before.
[00:01:47]  Never the way we are being attacked right now, because this attack is coming from within.
[00:01:51]  It's coming from us.
[00:01:53]  It's coming from, quite literally, you, me, because we vote for our representation.
[00:02:00]  We vote for the senators.
[00:02:02]  We vote for the representatives in the House.
[00:02:04]  We vote for the president.
[00:02:06]  And our core foundational principles in the United States of America are being torn apart.
[00:02:15]  Right now before our very eyes.
[00:02:17]  And if you don't know what I'm talking about at this particular moment, then you apparently did not hear about the Respect for Marriage Act.
[00:02:27]  The Respect for Marriage Act is like so many others.
[00:02:32]  It's kind of like the Inflation Reduction Act.
[00:02:34]  It's completely misnamed.
[00:02:36]  It's completely inaccurate.
[00:02:37]  It's completely untrue.
[00:02:39]  But that doesn't matter.
[00:02:41]  Who could possibly oppose inflation reduction?
[00:02:44]  Of course we want inflation reduction.
[00:02:46]  We want the rate of inflation to go down, of course.
[00:02:49]  What are you talking about?
[00:02:50]  I mean, yeah, who could oppose that?
[00:02:52]  That's why they name these things the way they do.
[00:02:55]  And in the Respect for Marriage Act, well, goodness gracious!
[00:02:58]  How is that a bad thing?
[00:03:00]  How can we possibly not respect marriage?
[00:03:02]  Of course I'm for the Respect for Marriage Act.
[00:03:04]  They put these labels on them, they put these titles on them, and then they just assume that people are too stupid to look at what is in them.
[00:03:12]  And the reality is they're right.
[00:03:15]  Friends, the reality is they're right.
[00:03:19]  Many Americans, millions of Americans, are too stupid to look into what is going on, what Congress is passing.
[00:03:28]  What it means to the Constitution, to your rights, as granted to you by our founding fathers.
[00:03:34]  Actually, as granted to us by God.
[00:03:36]  Our rights come from God, but they were codified, they were noted, they were written.
[00:03:40]  They were documented by our founding fathers.
[00:03:45]  And the Respect for Marriage Act, absolutely inappropriately and inaccurately named, is...
[00:03:53]  It's going to tear apart the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, quite literally, on two of the five provisions, protections, in the First Amendment.
[00:04:02]  What are the protections of the First Amendment?
[00:04:04]  The very first one, of course, is freedom of religion.
