You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the political cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Ladies and gentlemen, our featured guest this third and final hour is a lady I have known longer than any guest we have ever featured on this broadcast.
Dr. Virginia Dean Abernathy is Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Anthropology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
She is the author of Population Politics and The Vanishing American Dream, among other books.
She publishes in both scholarly journals and popular media and was formerly the editor-in-chief of Population and Environment.
She holds a PhD from Harvard University, an MBA from Vanderbilt University, and a BA from Wellesley College.
Population Politics, by the way, that book, we offered that as our incentive in the December fourth quarter 2019 fundraising drive, received a rave review from our audience.
So many of you out there listening tonight received an autographed copy of that book.
I had the opportunity, the honor, really, of spending a day with Dr. Abernathy at her home in Nashville.
And boy, what a day that was.
Am I lying, Virginia?
I think we had a good time, James.
We certainly did.
You were very gracious.
I don't know if we've decided whether or not we can share with the audience exactly what we ate that day, but perhaps some things are left better between friends.
I don't know.
I've forgotten.
Well, you've piqued my interest now, James.
Well, is it Roadkill or what?
No, no, no.
Not in the home of Virginia Abernathy.
But I'll tell you another thing, folks.
She can play the piano, and I had the opportunity to hear her play a piece from, well, do you remember Virginia?
I have it here on my phone.
Gracious.
I don't remember what I played.
And you're the very rare person who gets to hear me play because it's not very good.
Oh, I wouldn't say that at all.
I don't want to make a mistake.
I don't want to say Beethoven and it'd be Mozart.
I don't want to say Mozart and it'd be Beethoven, so I guess I should look this up while we're...
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's Beethoven.
I haven't found any Mozart that I remember.
James, I should say, and these are for people my age, sort of over the hill, but not totally yet.
And after 40 years, I decided to take up the piano again, and I've had huge enjoyment from it.
Well, it was, in fact, Beethoven's 13th opus, and you played it very well.
And please don't be too modest.
You played it a lot better than I could have.
I can guarantee you that.
A Renaissance woman, a woman of many talents and a dear friend of mine, to say the least.
And we're very honored to have her back on tonight with that introduction being set.
But Virginia, you had written an article that was published just this week by the Washington Examiner entitled The Coming American Baby Boom.
So we all talk about boomers.
We all talk about the baby boom.
You think there's another one perhaps that we're on the cusp of?
What are your findings?
Well, I think that there is another one coming because all the data that I have collected over a time show that when people perceive that good economic times are here or coming, They allow themselves to have a child that they might have been wanting all along, but thought it was difficult to afford.
And when they think they can have a child and raise a child according to their standards for what is correct, they will do it.
And the good economic times, I think, are rolling.
And I think people will respond and maybe already are responding by having a first child or an extra child.
So I'm looking at the baby boom.
Well, you know, as I shared with you this week, you were prophetic in the Edwards home in that we are now expecting our third child.
I believe we found out the fact that we are expecting, we, my wife is expecting, I think just a couple of days before this article was published by the Washington Examiner.
So indeed, you are prophetic.
That's fantastic, James.
Congratulations.
Just wonderful.
Well, thank you so much.
Well, Keith, my co-host, Dr. Abernathy, Keith Alexander, was reading your article as published by the Washington Examiner a couple of days ago, just in the last commercial break.
Keith, what did you think?
Well, I'm also the father of three children, or at least my youngest is 30 years old now.
Elizabeth and I are more or less in the same category age-wise.
But the thing that just is glaringly obvious to me, in my experience, is that liberalism is the great enemy of white fertility.
Everything that the left has done from Brown versus Board of Education to the No Fault Divorce Initiative to feminism to homosexual rights, they all have one common thread running through them, and that's the reduction of white birth rates.
That's been the effect.
And when people, white people are case strategists as opposed to the R-minus strategy, they have low fertility, high parental investment.
And when you have to assume that you're going to be sending your children to private schools and you know that job prospects for white males because of affirmative action are bad, you're not getting into selective schools.
You're going to be the last, you're at the bottom of the totem pole now rather than the top.
All of this stuff factors in.
I've heard people say that whites don't reproduce well in captivity.
Another thing you could say is that like certain animal species, when you disturb our nesting grounds, we stop reproducing.
Do you see any change in government policy that might help us along?
Or if it's not government policy, what is it that is causing you to be hopeful about the increase in the white birth rate?
Well, it's the general economic well-being.
And it doesn't exactly matter how well-off somebody is or poor somebody is, the perception that they're getting better off and that things ahead look relatively rosy, and that's relative to what they have expected and what they've been experiencing.
So perception matters.
And I think the perception now, and I think actually a correct perception, is that people's incomes are going up faster than inflation is going up, so they're better off.
And they expect that to continue so long as Trump's policies are in place.
I think President Trump has had a huge amount to do with the prosperity that so many people are experiencing.
And just the other day, in Barron's newspaper, it said that about a quarter of those millennials who are in their 30s now, about a quarter of them already have $100,000 in savings.
That's huge.
And that is the age that I think will hurry up now and be having children because time runs out for a woman.
And I just expect a lot of birth in that age group.
Ladies and gentlemen, my dear friend, Dr. Virginia Dean Abernathy of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine is our guest once again for the countless time.
Umpteep time, I guess I should say.
Always are we the better when she appears, and she'll be with us for one more segment as we continue to talk about her article recently published by the Washington Examiner, The Coming American Baby Boom.

And now back to tonight's show.
We're back with Dr. Virginia Abernathy, who I met in 1999 working with Tat Buchanan.
That's how long she and I go back, and it predates the show by a solid four to five years.
Keith, could you imagine?
Now I was 19.
Could you imagine being a college student or a college-aged student and attending a class administered by Dr. Abernathy or Dr. Kevin McDonald?
Oh, it'd be wonderful.
You'd be as safe as you would be in your mother's arms.
Either of those two.
Oh, that's for sure.
That's for sure.
Well, anyway, Virginia, we talk about the baby boom as if it was something that happened in the past that is something of historical significance never to happen again.
But you're saying it can happen again.
And in fact, it is almost likely that it will because of the financial prosperity that we are now experiencing.
There could be another baby boom.
And that is the article.
We have reposted it to our website on Friday.
The Washington Examiner was the one who originally published this new article written by Dr. Abernathy.
So I have to ask you this, though, Virginia.
I know for so many years, you, as much as anyone I know, perhaps more than anyone I know, have reconciled population and environment balance.
So how do we reconcile now, and for the purpose of this discussion, our excitement over the coming American baby boom and the need for environment balance?
Because there are certainly more people on this earth than there were when I was born, when you were born, when Keith was born.
That's so true.
And it is a problem that we've got such rapid population growth in the United States.
But about 90% of the population growth now and going forward is from immigration and the children of recent immigrants.
And so what we need to do really is reexamine our immigration.
We have about a million and a half legal immigrants a year and uncounted illegal aliens coming into the country.
And Trump is on the right track to stop the illegal alien entry here as much as he can, as much as the Democrats would get out of his way and that he could do it more effectively.
But we also need to examine a million and a half legal immigrants coming.
That includes refugees, for example, and people who come on work visas, but then they have a child here, which is an anchor baby, and it makes it difficult to tell them they have to leave the country.
So we have a huge push towards population growth.
Now, there's a view in this country that we need population growth because, of course, certain business and political people want continuing population growth.
They want a much bigger and fast-growing labor force because that tends to drive down wages.
You get more people competing for jobs or the wages paid by those jobs go down.
And I think that it's the mass immigration that we've had since 1955 that has kept wages low, almost below the rate of inflation for about 70 or 80 percent of the population.
Now, why I think we'll get a baby boom is that finally at last after 30, 40 years, wages are rising faster than inflation.
And Trump has just unleashed the economy.
We're still getting all the immigration, but we would have more demand for labor, higher wages, better benefits, and working conditions if we could clamp down more, much more, on immigration, say down to about 200,000 immigrants, legal immigrants a year.
And then I think you'd see a tremendous higher standard of living for the Americans and established immigrants already here.
But we've really got to cut down that million and a half legal immigrants a year.
That's far too much.
Now, James, I would.
Of course, Dr. Aberdathi, this is Keith Alexander.
I'm concerned about what type of immigrants we're getting in or the Trump administration is proposing to help get in.
He wants the higher-end people with H-2B visas to come in, and they're going to be the people that are going to be displacing our best and brightest.
For example, we have an engineering school here in Memphis called Christian Brothers University that specializes in its School of Engineering.
A lot of those engineers can't find jobs because people from India and China are coming in on H-2B visas and taking those jobs.
There's a bill before Congress that would make the situation much, much worse.
And it's a Republican, that fellow from, I think it's Utah, who's pushing it.
And this would effectively put Indians and some Chinese, but mainly Indians who are here on work visas, it would put them at the head of the line.
I see no reason for that at all.
I think that's dreadful.
That's a problem we've had with immigration.
We get too many of the low-end immigrants.
Also, we don't have jobs for our own native-born people that come out of colleges and universities with specialized skill sets like engineering.
That's a big problem.
We have to address the total number, don't we?
I mean, we don't need one and a half million of any kind.
We don't need to let anybody in until our own engineers, for example, are employed.
Also, the fact that now, because of affirmative action, women are getting the better jobs than men, and women, of course, are the ones that bear the children and have to nurture them.
How is that going to affect a baby boom?
Well, you know, and also, too, Keith, well, if Dr. Abernathy is correct in that we are on the cusp of a coming baby boom, perhaps we won't need all the immigrants that these corporations say we need, these companies say we need, because we'll be having our own.
And for so long, there are so few Western nations that are having above replacement level fertility.
That is something that has gotten us into so much trouble over the years.
And in fact, in our statement of principles, we say we wish to revive the white birth rate to above replacement level fertility, which I will reach in October.
I'm proud to say, as you have reached, Keith.
But if you don't mind me saying it again, but in any event, Dr. Aberdathy, final question to you with only a minute remaining.
I guess that would solve the problem, right?
If we have our own babies, we don't need anyone else's.
And I think it goes back to what Steve Scale, not Steve Scalise, but Steve King.
Steve King, yes, said that nobody can be.
What did he say, Keith?
You got me.
We need our own babies because we teach them our values.
We teach them to love the country.
We teach them the rule of law and the values that have made America great.
That was pretty much it.
I mean, he was basically praising Western civilization to say nobody could take our place.
Nobody could be us but us.
And I'm paraphrasing.
I don't have the exact quote in front of me.
Keith, you're an encyclopedia.
You're a human encyclopedia.
I think I could ask you anyone who seems to look on your face.
I think I could ask you anything and get the exact answer.
But anyway, it's a great article.
We encourage you to read it.
The Coming American Baby Boom, published by the Washington Examiner by Dr. Virginia Dean Aberdathy, our good friend, mine and yours, who's long toiled in the vineyards of our particular predicament for many years now and is a leader.
And it's always great to have you on the show, Professor Aberdathie.
It is always great.
You've done so much more than most.
Thank you.
It's always my pleasure to be here.
Good to see you.
Well, I'll all right.
Sam wants to know what we had for dinner.
But I think you were sure.
Well, we'll tell him.
It was quiche.
I'd never had it before.
Men don't eat quiche.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She said that.
That's what she told me.
But anyway, thank you for covering for me, Virginia.
You're a good soldier.
Hey, but it was tasty.
I can't lie.
I can't lie.
It must not have had any vegetables in it.
No, it did.
Virginia Aberdathy, everybody.
We love her.

Bernie Sanders has done well in the Nevada Caucasus.
He's taken a big lead and is the projected winner with more than double his closest competitor, Joe Biden.
Pete Buttigieg is in third.
Biden tells KLAS-TV Nevada is a melting pot, which is more representative of the country as a whole.
This is the first state we're in where it represents what the country looks like and represents as a significant black population, Latino population, union population, and just hardworking people who are trying to make it.
Sanders has been campaigning in Texas.
What we are going to do is invest in jobs for our kids, in education for our kids, not more jails and incarceration.
President Trump tweets, looks like Crazy Bernie is doing well in the great state of Nevada.
Biden and the rest look weak.

Fiona Frazier with the United Nations says that's raising hopes for a possible end to a long war that's killed more than 100,000 civilians.
As the UN, we welcome any effort to reduce violence that may also then reduce civilian casualties.
What we want to see here in Afghanistan is an end to the fighting and zero casualties.
U.S., Afghan, and Taliban leaders are working toward a plan to get American troops out of the country.

Well, you know, we had so many wonderful women on the show last week for the Valentine's Day special broadcast.
We had in order Lana Lochtiff, Lacey Lynn, we had Kim, we had Courtney, and we had Janice.
And then Janice batting cleanup.
Well, Janice is the only one we're inviting back, but no, but not for that reason.
I mean, they were all great and all deserving to come back, to be sure.
My wife was on, too.
My wife made that special announcement last week.
But, you know, the question, we've had a row in the commercial break, Janice.
And the question is to you, does your man eat quiche?
He probably would if I fixed it.
It's got eggs.
Well, it's like an omelet.
Like I was telling them in the commercial break, Sam Bushman says he eats quiche and he's not ashamed.
And Keith said, well, it does taste like an omelette.
I was like, well, I'm going to be polite to Virginia and eat whatever she puts, you know, on my plate.
But I actually really did like it.
I went in for seconds.
She makes a mean quiche.
He ate more vegetables in one sitting than he has the last two years.
That's true.
You probably did.
Well, the good news was I couldn't taste them.
You know what?
What's funny?
Hey, what people don't know, I got to say this.
What people don't know is that I had that lunch at Virginia Abernathy's.
Guess who I had dinner with?
Janice Hamlin.
Do you provide plenty of red meat for him, Janice?
Yeah, yes, we got plenty of red meat for him.
Actually, he didn't eat a whole lot because he said he had just felt like he'd just beaten.
So he had a little something with us.
Yeah, we only had an advertiser at the Hamblins because Virginia had 20 steak or something.
I'll tell you what.
Now, that was a day to be envied, ladies and gentlemen.
That was, I believe, the first week of January to have lunch with Virginia Abernathy and to have a dinner, excuse me, supper with Janice and Rich Hamblin.
Now, that is a day.
That's a question for a southern lady, Janice.
What's the difference between dinner and supper?
Dinner's your afternoon meal if you're in the south.
Now, at the north, it is your nighttime meal, but not down here.
To make it simple, dinner is lunch and supper is dinner.
The big meal is dinner, and the lesser meal is supper.
And if you eat light in the evening, that's supper, is what I thought.
Is that right, Janice?
Or is that the reason?
I wouldn't know.
My dad tried really hard to teach us girls etiquette, and we just didn't listen.
Well, I got to tell you, if we're not careful, we're going to have Janise again next week because what happened was last week we didn't get to everything with Janice we needed to cover, and we haven't even begun to cover what we want to cover tonight.
But you know what?
When it says with the Hamblin, it's porch talk, and it can go in any direction you please.
Well, I did want to say, first of all, that the interview you had with Jason Bartlett was really good, and we will be meeting him on Tuesday.
So we get to actually meet him on Tuesday.
Well, you know, I got to give credit where credit is due, and that is, once again, to your family.
Your husband was the one who put me wise to Jason.
If he had done it a couple of days earlier, we could have hosted him right here in Memphis.
We found out about it right after he had skirted Shelby County.
But nevertheless, I'm glad we found out about him at all because it was a great hour, and we appreciate you for doing that.
Well, what I didn't get into last week, we talked a lot about marriage and things like that last week, was my heart has really been on the condition of our churches.
And I came up with this lovely term called cognitive dissonance.
And that's when you have opposing views on one related kind of issue.
And our church, I think, is really kind of full of fact, our whole society is.
And it's really fun to pick it out in non-believers because, I mean, it's so blatantly obvious with them.
But with the church, it's kind of, you know, covered up and looks really nice, but it's wrong.
So do you want to talk about something else like marriage first, or do you want me to go into that?
No, no, no, no, let's get let's get right into that.
No, I want to.
So it's cognitive dissonance in the churches as it applies, though, to male-female relationships, politics, and of course, religion, but no, families.
Cognitive dissonance in the churches.
And this covers all of it.
So I'm taking it from James 118, I mean 1.8 says a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
So in a lot of ways, the church is no longer very stable because we have two different mindsets.
We are cognitive dissonant.
And I'm not going to necessarily give you all the Bible verses that go with it.
People are, I might, I'm going to give you the reference, but I'm not going to read it.
And what I came up with is that, you know, a lot of Christians say they absolutely believe the Bible is the Word of God, but they do not live out the Bible as they say that they say it's the truth.
And some of the ways they do it is they, oh, I can't even hardly read my writing.
Oh, the big one right now is they are warmongers and, you know, instead of peacemakers.
You know, in Matthew 5, 9, Christ says that, you know, that we're supposed to be peacemakers and they shall inherit the earth.
And what are most of these neocons?
They're warmongers.
And they sit in a pew and they say, yeah, bomb those Syrians, bomb those Iranians.
That's wrong.
We should be out there looking for a way to make peace, not to go and kill innocent people that have done nothing to us as a nation.
Now, I think that's a big one to start with as far as for politics.
Well, you know why that is happening, though, Janice.
This is Keith.
Jewish dispensationalism, which is a big feature in most fundamentalist cases.
Listen, that's the one I'm going to close with.
Don't take my thunder, young man.
Okay.
It's wonderful to be called a young man in 869.
The next thing is, is that, you know, they say that women can be preachers or ministers, whatever you want to call them, when God says that we're supposed to sit quietly and learn from our husbands and that we're not to have authority over men.
And that's found in 1 Timothy 2.
I think it's 2.42, 2.14.
So, you know, we're not supposed to have authority.
We're not supposed to be telling our husbands what to do.
We're not supposed to be being over a church and telling men how to behave.
That's a man's job.
That's what men are supposed to be doing.
Then I have that it's okay to be a homosexual.
And they can even be preachers.
But God says that someone that lives a homosexual lifestyle will not enter heaven.
And that's in many places in the Bible.
I have 2 Timothy 3 and 1 Corinthians 6, 9 for sure.
So, you know, we can't have these two opposing views or we are double-minded and unstable.
Then they're, you know, a lot of people now are getting into that all roads lead to heaven and to God.
You know, there are many.
Universalism.
Yes.
Jesus said he is the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes unto the Father, which means no man goes to heaven without him.
And that was John 14, 8.
That's right.
Then we have those that preach health, wealth, and prosperity.
But Christ didn't preach that.
He preached, he told his followers that foxes have holes.
They have a den.
But those that follow me will have no place to lay their head.
And he also told them that the world hates him, and the world is going to hate us and persecute us.
And, you know, and you used to see that all over the world.
Christians are persecuted everywhere except for here.
And it was not starting in the United States.
But our churches are so weak that, you know, it's going to take a while to get the wheat and the tares separated before the wheat can actually be really persecuted.
But, you know, it's coming.
You know, you can't preach homosexuality is wrong.
You can't, you know, preach other things are wrong.
And then they'll start throwing us in jail for hate speech and things like that.
I think you're right.
It's coming.
Yeah, it is.
It's coming big time.
And then it's like, you know, a lot of believers just want to be accepted.
And I think that's one of the big reasons why they lower their standards from what are true biblical standards to because they want to be accepted.
They want to be loved by everybody.
But Christ told us that we can't serve two masters.
We can't serve God and money or God and man.
And, you know, it's really hard.
You know, it's really hard to get a thick skin and say, you know, I really don't care if you don't agree with my views or you don't like me because of my views.
But I guess we're going to stop right there.
Oh, my goodness, Keith.
Virginia, Janice is better at you than taking a break.
She hates you.
She should know it.
Sam Bushman's laughing in the background.
I wish you could hear it, folks.
She knows better than Keith already.
I say, damn, the torpedoes full speed ahead.
We'll be right back.
Took a break.
I'd advise Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.
The press has created a rigged system.
They even want to try and rig the election.
Well, I tell you what, it helps in Ohio that we got Democrats in charge of the machines.
And poisoned the mind of so many of our voters.
At the polling booth, where so many cities are corrupt and voter fraud is all too common.
And then they say, oh, there's no voter fraud in our country.
I come from Chicago.
So, so I want to be honest.
It's not as if it's just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past.
Sometimes Democrats have to.
You know, whenever people are in power, they have this tendency to try to, you know, tilt things in their direction.
There's no voter fraud.
You start whining before the game's even over.
Whenever things are going badly for you and you loosely start blaming somebody else, then you don't have what it takes to be in this job.
Hi, I'm Patty, wife of former Congressman Steve Stockman.
In Congress, Steve sought impeachment of Eric Holder for his corruption of the Justice Department and his fast and furious gun running that caused border agent Brian Talley's death.
Steve called for arrest of Lois Lerner for her contempt of Congress as it investigated her targeting of conservative nonprofit groups.
After four years, four grand juries and millions of tax dollars, Steve Stockman is in prison.
His case involved four checks to nonprofits.
DOJ has one standard for Hillary Clinton, but another for folks like President Trump and my husband.
We've spent all our savings, all Steve's retirement, and much of mine.
Steve Stockman has fought for you and America.
Won't you join me now to fight for Steve?

Dad, can you make him stop?
Honey, he needs to practice.
He's been at it an hour.
Well, just trying to be patient.
Dad, it sounds like a cat calling for help or something.
Worse, a basement full of cats.
Yeah.
You know, honey, it is a little hard on the ears.
Not you, too.
Well, maybe we can all play a game.
Andrew, do you want to play a board game?
How about we watch a video?
Hide and seek.
Oh, I don't know.
I give up.
Maybe we can all just sneak out of the house.
Honey, he's nine years old.
We can't leave him home alone.
And we can make him practice with a sock.
Well, I guess we'll have to get some ice cream.
Did I hear someone say, ice cream?
Family, isn't it about time?
Oh, I see the practice hasn't hurt your ears.
Well, I'm a serious musician.
Funny that you never seem to get better on that thing.
Works every time.
From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Hey, where did all these cats come from?
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
Well, to close the show tonight is a lady who is truly family.
I mean, the Hamlins are family.
We say our TPC family than a lot of family.
Well, absolutely.
Closer to me than a lot of blood family.
I mean, there are our blood too.
We're all southerners.
I mean, this is a family here on this radio program.
We mean that when we say it.
It's not hyperbole.
But anyway, Janice, we're talking about cognitive dissonance in the churches.
I came across a story a few days ago that's perfect for this segment, and it's that Franklin Graham, the sire of Billy Graham, has now been shunned from venues in the UK, meaning that he is experiencing there what we experience here.
And I can remember when I was hosting the Euro conference in Memphis in 2008 for David Duke.
And that was the first time.
That was before any Amrin cancellations.
That was before anybody on the alt-ride or dissident ride or whatever you want to call it had experienced anything like that.
We experienced it first, and we navigated it well, and we were able to outmaneuver the media and still have an event under a lot of duress.
It's called Long Green.
But no, I mean, but no, I mean, I know what that's like.
I mean, we've been through that, and we know how we have to have events now.
But so now even Franklin Graham, though, is being treated like David Duke in the UK.
And I say, good.
I am glad that's happening.
I wish it was happening here in America because these people have won nothing by selling out, by taking the road most traveled.
These people deserve what Cowards get.
They need to feel the pain, like us.
No, they need to feel worse than that.
Well, and the thing is, I think Franklin Graham's kind of a milquetoast Christian myself.
I wasn't a fan of Billy Graham.
And if you guys are.
Well, I'm certainly not a fan of Billy Graham for a lot of reasons we won't get into.
I think Franklin Graham is probably better than, say, a Russell Moore.
Anything's better than Russell Moore, except for me.
Let me bring this up because this is a question I had all along, Janice.
You talked about cognitive dissonance.
It seems like an awful lot of the dissonance is between the clergy on one hand and the people in the pews on the other.
And liberals have infiltrated denominational headquarters in just about every denomination.
How do we cope with that?
We're going to get into that.
I want to go into between family and things like that.
And then we're going to get into that big one, Keith.
The next thing I had on my list was that in too many families, the women or the children rule the homes, where God said the man is to rule the home.
He is to be the head of the household.
Does not mean he's a dictator or, you know, some big ogre, but he is supposed to be the head of the home.
He has the final word on anything.
But it also says, you know, Ephesians, Ephesians 5 is such a great thing to really, every family ought to read it and say, I think it's 522 through 6 something.
Are we living this out?
Is the wife submissive to the husband?
Does the husband love the wife as himself?
Because you know what?
He's not going to make a decision that's going to hurt her or the children if he loves her like he loves himself.
He's just not going to.
But women need to step back and get back in their proper spiritual role of letting the husband be the leader.
And it just, it has to be that way.
But now we're going to go on to the next one.
The biggest, and I'm going to preface it first, is I am reading through Revelation through Matthew Henry's commentary from 1896.
And you know what I don't find in there, fellas?
What?
I don't find a word about a rapture or dispensationalism.
Not a word.
Never.
That's because it wasn't there.
That's because, and it's not true.
It's a lie.
It's heresy.
And that's what I have.
I said, the biggest, the biggest thing that we have cognitive dispenses is this whole fact is that we have been taught through the Schofield Reference Bible about dispensationalism and the rapture.
And it's a lie.
Well, I told somebody the other day, Janice, you know, he gave me that he who blesses Israel is blessed.
He who curses Israel is cursed.
And I said, if that's the case, no Christian has gone to heaven or been saved since the death of Christ until the 1920s because all of this Jewish dispensationalism was unknown to our ancestors.
So if you like the old-time religion, you don't embrace Jewish dispensationalism.
Well, see, another thing is, what you need to tell them is that Christ actually said, he that believes on me is the new Israel.
That is in the New Testament.
And if a Jew doesn't believe in Christ, he is no longer Israel.
Jesus lost as a hot and tot.
Read Matthew 22, 1 through 14.
You know, and there are so many scriptures that I was taught my whole life pointed towards.
There's going to be a rapture, and then there's going to be seven years of tribulation, and then he's going to come back, and that's all a lie.
There's none of that.
Most of this stuff has already taken place.
You know, and it also leads to other things, you know, which you're talking about, Jerusalem.
You know, we're supposed to be looking for a heavenly Jerusalem, not an earthly one.
We're supposed to be looking for a heavenly land, a heavenly kingdom, not an earthly one.
On 70 A.D., God did away with the ceremonial law of the Jews.
And he stripped them.
They're no longer the chosen people.
Christians are now the chosen people.
Because we're the new Israel.
And that's the thing I think people don't understand is mainly because they don't bother to read their word.
They don't, you know.
Well, beware of anybody that gets into Greek or Hebrew, Janice, because when they do, they can make the Bible say anything they want it to.
I don't know.
Richard knows Greek, and he's pretty good.
You know what I mean?
I'm talking about the higher textual criticism.
That was a camel's nose in the tent.
Did you know that the Schofield Bible was written and it was funded through Jewish Monday?
The Lotus Organization.
Yes.
And it was published through Oxford.
And at some point in time between 1909 and 1919, they sent copies, free Bibles, to every seminary student in America.
Stay with the old original King James Version, folks.
That's the old-time religion.
That is how it got infected and how it just spread.
It was just, you know, it was like, it was true gospel.
Well, I remember when I first started reading through, that was the truth.
And the thing is, is that, you know, we're supposed to be sitting here and, oh, what do you want to say?
You know, we say that Jesus is the only way, the truth, the life, but yet we want to give money to Jews to build a temple and commit idolatry.
And we have people like John Hagee telling us that Jews can go to heaven without accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior.
John Hagee has to be a secret Jew.
There's no, that's not true.
And there's nothing in there in the Bible like that.
Not a thing.
And, you know, and, you know, it's just something that it's so hard to get people to understand.
I mean, we had a Sunday school teacher, you know, and he was saying, you know, praise God, Israel has the land.
And then he turns right around and starts reading out of Deuteronomy 28, where it says, if they don't have, if they don't obey my voice, the land will be taken from them.
And it was like, both things can't be true.
Either if they are not in obedience, they don't deserve the land.
That's exactly what happened.
So, you know, go ahead.
I was just going to say, Janice, y'all are firing the audience up tonight.
And as much as I hate to say it, there's only two minutes left.
And the gentleman that we are would bestow that two minutes to you, Janice.
Two minutes remaining.
Anything you've left out, anything you want to put the cherry on top.
There you go, Keith.
You said it.
I want to end with the same quote that I gave last week, and that is, God's glory shines through men.
As long as we have a matriarchal society, we cannot experience or see his glory.
And I think we need to realize men are supposed to show forth God or Christ.
Women are to shine through, you know, our glory of our husbands.
And I'm going to be honest with you, until I married Richard, I always read those verses.
I never understood them.
And he actually lives this out.
He loves me like he loves himself.
He takes care of me.
We are best friends.
And that's one thing I would say to anybody out there looking for somebody.
You need to be friends first.
Absolutely.
Because then there's no pretense.
You're not acting a way you not really are.
You need to be friends.
And, you know, Richard really lived out those verses of being the representation of God in the family.
I mean, and that's what all men are supposed to be doing.
And God loves us.
Janice, I want to thank you for coming on and putting the exclamation point on last week's Valentine's Day show, the Ladies' Night Broadcast, by coming back for a second week consecutively and wrapping up these final two segments tonight.
It was the cherry on top, as Keith said.
We love y'all.
We love your family.
Thanks to Jason Bartlett, to you, Keith, to Sam Bushman, to everyone else who played a part in tonight's broadcast.
I'm James Edwards, and we'll talk to you next week on TPC.
