But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should shew forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light, which in time past were not a people but are now the people of God, which had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

This topic is off limits, and everything is filtered through biblical glasses. And now here's your host, Pastor Greg. A Facebook whistleblower, you can find him at ryanhartwig.org, ryanhartwig.org. And I want to welcome to the program, author of Behind the Mask of Facebook, A Whistleblower, Shocking Story of Big Tech Bias and Censorship, Ryan Hartwig. Ryan, welcome. Good to have you. Yeah, thanks for having me, Pastor Greg. It's a pleasure to be here. And, you know, we've had some fascinating conversations about big tech, about Section 230, about Ukraine already. We're covering the whole gamut today.

No doubt, no doubt. Well, and this, again, this Section 230 thing is really, you know, it's something that has been requested for Congress to take up and so far, you know, they really haven't done anything with it. And it's a little bit complicated, but essentially, folks, Section 230 is a protection that is given to the social media platforms, so long as they act as though their platform is open to the public, and they are not editing content. Obviously, if there's content that's on there that is, I don't know, you know, fire in the theater, that's a problem. But other than that, they're supposed to not be really editing content. Of course, the irony, Ryan, is, is, you know, they allow porn, they allow kiddie porn, they allow, you know, they allow, Antifa has used it to announce gatherings for violent protests.

There's been chatter on there that has had to do with terrorist attacks, you know, I mean, there's been all these different things that have gone on. But, you know, God forbid that you should say, you know, I stand for the star spangled banner and I believe in the Constitution and I love God and my Bible and my gun. Well, yes, even quoting Bible quotes is now a violation of Facebook's policy. So when I was there, they changed their policy. So before you could quote a Bible quote and if it violated the hate speech policy, they said, OK, well, you're just quoting it.

But they changed it. So now even quoting, doing a quote of the Bible verse, if they deem it part of their hate speech policy, they take it down. So that's the problem with with big tech is the you know, they're acting as a government agent. So what happened in 1996 is Congress delegated their constitutional powers to to these companies. So now in the Facebook now has civil immunity from lawsuits and there's no due process. And we discussed the Fifth Amendment and the constitutional challenge we have here at the Social Media Freedom Foundation. Once again, David Harris, Jr. is on the board of directors and Vanner Steel, Brett, have a check.

I'm an officer. But yes, so this constitutional challenge we have is against the government itself. And it's saying Section 230 is unconstitutional. People's rights are being deprived. Now, we've talked about private or public a little bit in the last segment. And I want to read from the executive summary here.

I hope you're all following. So, you know, Facebook is acting as a government agent, so regulation or deprivation in any form, carried out by an authorized government agent, whether private or public. So Facebook's a government agent. They're acting with the authority delegated to them by the government. So this so regulation by an authorized agent, Facebook, to fill up the details, to make up the rules. So Facebook's like, OK, we have the authority.

We're going to kind of make it to make up the rules to fill up, fill up the details, fill in the quasi legislative rules at the directive of Congress. But those those rules they make up, they must afford due process and free speech of the entity per person being regulated. And so that's why, you know, if you're sitting, let's say you're sitting in a public area out in a park and you're saying something's dumb. Let's say you're just being annoying and you're just saying blah, blah, blah. And someone walks by and they say, hey, that that that person's speech is annoying. Like, I don't like the fact that they're saying the word gay or, you know, something just just so it's not it's not against a lot of being and be annoying. And so what Facebook is doing is saying, hey, you know, we don't like all these right wingers. They're being annoying. Let's just let's penalize them.

And that's the thing. These Facebook community standards, they're basically penal code. Facebook community standards are our laws because they're using the authority delegated to them by the government. And so they're creating laws that are forced unequally, unfairly and censoring more right wingers. And that's exactly what I talk about in my book, Behind the Mask of Facebook, how Facebook is targeting right wingers and censoring their speech.

Yeah, well, and and and I would, you know, I would contend with that idea of right wing, you know, because of course, they've called it they've turned it into a derogatory slang. You know, it used to be that it was normative. You know, the idea, look, if you're going to have a society, you're going to have a man and a woman having babies.

I mean, that's the only way that works. And under a biblical worldview, that would be a husband and a wife having children. And there are really strong biblical reasons for why men and women come together to create a family.

And and there are socioeconomic reasons as well in a healthy culture that that the family is that is the undergirding foundation and the undergirding foundation of the family is God in the Bible. Yeah. And so Facebook is censoring these viewpoints and even what's even more shocking is Facebook allows advocating for killing babies slash fetuses in an abortion context. So if they say they're going to talk about, you know, follow the rule of law and take down threats against, you know, the president. But this is straight from their Q&A is advocating on killing babies or fetuses in an abortion context. Consider violence and incitement as part of Facebook's policies, and they say advocating for killing babies slash fetuses in an abortion context should be ignored.

So, you know, where is this with the rule of law? If they can allow that, then it's just not just it's ridiculous. Well, you know, Facebook tried to ban any. Well, they did ban they banned the advertising, if I'm not mistaken, of the movie Gosnell. They would not allow them to run advertisements for the movie Gosnell, at least initially they wouldn't. Yeah, those those the anybody and anybody who tried to put that stuff up on their page had had those particular posts taken down. And and of course, go ahead.

No, it's it's it's it's horrible. And, you know, Facebook, we need to take action against Facebook. And I was involved in a criminal complaint or I actually helped out with a criminal referral to the DOJ for Zuckerberg, because they he said he testified in April of 2018 that they don't censor political speech, but they do. And so that's the perfect example is that being that movie release and they've taken a stance on abortion, that taking a stance stance on on Trump's speeches.

But that's the thing, though. This isn't just about protecting speech for the right. This is protecting speech for all Americans, because if it can happen to people on the right now, you know, five years from now, the rules could be reversed. So that's why this is a non non-partisan issue. And that's why I'm involved with the Social Media Freedom Foundation is it's such a crucial issue for for Internet, for free speech both here in the U.S. and globally.

And so that's why I appreciate you giving me the time to discuss this on your show. But yet all this I talk about my book behind the mask of Facebook, a whistleblower shocking story of big tech bias and censorship. And it was just it'll shock you. We know Facebook and censoring have experienced it. But seeing the exact examples and and how atrocious Facebook is, it really shocks you to your core. We got an election coming up and you know, these these are again going to be major issues that that have to be thought about and discussed. Dr. Robert Epstein did a research project into determining how much influence Facebook would potentially have in in the election, swaying in his estimation, you know, as many as 25 million votes, which is a lot of votes.

Ryan, do you believe that his estimations are are accurate and what do we do about that? You know, you and I were talking off air. I broadcast this on on Cloud Hub. Gab is another you know, is another good outlet.

Me, we parlor Trump's new outlet. Truth Social is supposed to be up by the end of the month. You know, there's there's there's other things that are out there. But Facebook still, I think, has the largest audience of any of them. Yeah. Yeah.

Facebook still player. And you mentioned Dr. Robert Epstein. And I've talked to him on numerous occasions. He sponsored my at my 5 1 C3 Harwood Foundation. Dr. Roxy, Dr. Robert Epstein, he was just just last month. He was on The Joe Rogan Show. And Dr. Robert Epstein is a he is a he's a Democrat, a Democrat.

And so once again, this is a nonpartisan issue. But, yeah, Dr. Robert Epstein, he's right on the money. And I, I watched the first half of his interview last time I got around to watching it yesterday, the first half of it. And in his work towards halfway through, Dr. Roxy quotes from President Eisenhower's last speech. So Eisenhower warned of a technological elite. And I'll quote from President Eisenhower. Yet in holding scientific research and discovery and respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite. So and Dr. Dr. Epstein, Epstein said that's where we are right now. There's a technological elite who are in control of the world. And and so, you know, Eisenhower says it's the task of a statement shift to mold to balance and integrate these other forces within the principles of our democratic system ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.

So these technological elite, these Facebook, Apple, they are a danger to our free society. And and they don't want to be outed, by the way. I don't know if he mentioned this in his interview with Joe Rogan. I've had Dr. Epstein on the program a number of times and and spoke with him right after his wife died. And we talked about, you know, and at that point, he wasn't ready to publicly say that he thought that she might have been killed. But but he has come out in interviews since then and and said that he believes that his work and and and what he was exposing about this elite, that that his wife's murder was a was a message of sorts. And, you know, sadly, it does not surprise me, ladies and gentlemen, and I'm not a conspiracist, but it really does surprise me. I know my friend Phil Haney was murdered and no one's looking into that. We'll be back with more with Ryan Hartwood coming up on the other side of this. What about this new meta program, the metaverse and Facebook's involvement in that?

Sproul. If you struggle, as we all do, with the mystery of God's transcendent sovereignty, His decrees of election and predestination, those ideas can be so abstract, and they can create so much consternation. Keep in mind that the point of focus in any proper discussion of this difficult concept is grace. Not only the grace of the atonement, but the faith by which you were brought to Christ as a result of His grace.

It's by grace that you were made acceptable in Christ. Fasting simply means to go without anything and everything to make time to pray. We often associate it with abstaining from food, but it can also be abstinence from business, emails, phone calls, ministry, entertainment, web surfing, meetings, shopping, technology.

There's no limit to the list. While in prayer, we turn to God. In fasting, we turn away from everything else. Is it time for you to go on a spiritual diet and fast? Not to show God how pious you are, but because we need to give Him our undivided attention. If you haven't done it already, choose to put fasting into your prayer life.

Then do it. Give God your undivided attention. Now back to Chosen Generation with your host, Pastor Greg. And don't forget, you can get more Chosen Generation at www.chosengenerationradio.com.

He's got some other things that he's got to attend to, but we appreciate him being on.

And again, that website is socialmediafreedom.org, socialmediafreedom.org. Wow, it's already Friday. I hope you had a good week.

I hope that you accomplished the things that you hoped to get done during this week that we just came through. Lots and lots going on in our world. There's a lot of conversation about the situation between Russia and the Ukraine.

Here's something I found on the web. Alexa, stop. There's a lot of conversation happening right now between what's going on with the Ukraine and Russia. And a tremendous amount of Russian propaganda that's coming across and being used.

I actually received an article from a friend and I plan to write back about this. I was a Russian linguist during the Cold War. Our teachers and our instructors were all Russian defectors. And watching and listening and learning about what was really going on and the real truth happening in Russia, when the fall of the wall happened and everyone rejoiced and got excited, and there were things to get excited about.

But when that happened, those of us that were watching it very closely, we realized what was really going on. What was really going on is that Russia had finally, the leadership had finally come to the same conclusion that, I believe it was Khrushchev had come to many years before. That the only way to destroy the West, the only way to come after the West, was from the inside. And while the KGB was the mirror image, if you will, for the CIA, operating as the KGB, operating as an arm of the Russian government, still meant that there were certain regulations and restrictions that were on them because of the connectivity to the Russian government. So how do you take an organization like the KGB and turn them loose on the West in a way that is going to be, well, as evil and as destructive as they wanted the KGB to be, and not have it blow back, if you will, on the Russian Federation, on the USSR? Well, you break up the USSR and you cut the KGB loose, and you let them become the criminal element that they really were intended to be, the Russian Mafia.

And that's exactly what happened, folks. The KGB, the majority of the KGB, became the Russian Mafia, which today is probably one of the most powerful Mafias in the world. And as such, they no longer had to worry about diplomacy and diplomatic ties or any of those kinds of things. So they could go about carrying off their very destructive mission. In the meantime, they needed to suck our economy in. And so they did that because by breaking up and by the appearance that the communist regime was falling apart, they were able to suck American dollars and American business interests in.

And so American businesses, by and large, went ahead and made their investments. And once they had taken in enough American money, once they had rebuilt much of their infrastructure, because it is a truth that the communist system was failing. The communist system has failed everywhere that it has been employed. In its truest form, communism doesn't work. Communism is oppressive. Communism has been responsible for more murder than any other form or ideology in history.

Over 100 million people killed by communist regimes. But that being said, so now they've sucked the American dollars in, they've sucked the American businesses in. Once they reached a particular tipping point where they had the funding that they needed, where they had the infrastructure that they needed, and where they were deep enough into the pockets of Americans, then they began to cut it off.

And the state began to take back control of all those businesses. And then slowly, over the last 10 years, 15 years, they have been absorbing these smaller countries, the satellites that had broken off, they were becoming absorbed, they were being taken back in. And the doors to Russia were being closed. And so now here we have today, we have Putin, a former KGB, who has basically decided that it's time to flex their muscles. And I think we should not be fooled into believing that there would have been a means to an appeasement that somehow signing a letter saying that Ukraine is never going to be a part of NATO is going to stop the communist effort. Communism is just like Islam.

They want total control, they want world domination, and we better wake up to realizing, and that's why in China and in Russia they push atheism, and it's why they want to quiet, and they want to subjugate the United States of America.

This is John MacArthur. Join me for today's Portraits of Grace. We must never forget that Jesus came to earth to die. Those soft baby hands, fashioned by the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb, were made to have two great nails hammered through them. That sacred head was made to wear a crown of thorns.

That tender body was to be pierced by a spear, only to reveal a broken heart. The death of Christ, however, was no accident. He was born to die.

Modern liberal theology claims Jesus died merely as an example, like a martyr dying for some cause. Truth is, He died as a substitute for you. And if you will repent of your sin and embrace Him as Lord and Savior, He will free you from sin to live forever with God. Rejoice in that marvelous truth and become a living portrait of His grace. Here's Dr. Charles Stanley, keeping believers in touch with God.

How do you respond when times get tough? Oh, Lord, what about this and what about that? Father, here's what you said. I just want to thank you that here's your promise. Here's what you've declared in your Word.

Here's what you've said. I want to thank you, Father, for that. David understood who God was, and he functioned from that perspective. He never saw himself as being sufficient within himself, and here, I think, is always a key. Whatever we are facing in life, the source of our strength is always the indwelling Christ.

It can never be anything else because our strength will give out, but not if we depend upon, rely upon, and see as our eternal, inexhaustible source of strength to be the person of Jesus Christ who lives on the inside of us. For help and hope from God's Word, visit In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley at intouch.org. I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to get my congressman on the line with us. He is the congressman for District 21 here out of the great state of Texas.

He is, of course, running for reelection as well in the primaries, and he is busy fighting the good fight, and we greatly appreciate that. I want to welcome Chip Roy to the program. Chip, welcome. Good to have you. Greg, great to be on the show as always. Hope you are healthy and well, and appreciate all your listeners and good to join you. Thank you.

Thank you so much. Well, there's a great deal going on in fighting the swamp, and you've been at the tip of the spear when it comes to pushing back against these vaccine mandates. You know, one of the things, I don't know, how much movement are we getting relative to protecting our troops?

I know Tom Renz and Lee Dundas have been up there. They did a hearing with Senator Ron Johnson on the number of damages, and the Sallis report that was given to the CDC showing them how many injuries were the result of vaccines. Are we making any headway in protecting our troops?

Well, we could spend an hour on that topic alone. I'll try to distill it to say that, first of all, credit to Senator Johnson for holding that hearing, trying to expose a lot of the realities of what we're dealing with, and this entire process from top to bottom, the politicization of the virus, the politicization of the vaccine, the lack of transparency, the lack of truth, why the land of the free in this country couldn't do what Japan did. Basically say, look, we have a bad virus. We have a vaccine that has some positive effects that we think is good. We think there are risks, unknown risks and risks we don't know, and we're not going to mandate it. That would have been a sensible position for a country to take and then pursue the truth, and then expose positives and negatives with the vaccine and keep working towards science, actual science.

We didn't do that. We played politics and we started mandating that all these people had to get vaccinated, including our men and women in uniform. I've been fighting that since last summer, picked the fight in the National Defense Authorization Act on that issue, discharge as well as on drafting our daughter. We were able to get the draft our daughter's vision taken out. We're able to get rid of the dishonorable discharge possibility.

But unfortunately, you can still be discharged and removed and fired. And I tried to pick a fight on defunding vaccine mandates two weeks ago, and we got a lot of headway and so much so that we got a straight up or down vote on it. As you know, four senators walked away from the vote. Yeah, Lindsey Graham was gone, Richard Byrd, Jim Inhofe, and most notably, Mitt Romney, who literally was in town, voted that day and then walked away from voting for his colleague from Utah's amendment. But listen, his his listeners, by the way, are on because we're covering the entire state of Utah right now. So if you've got a message from it, by all means, he'll hear it because we're in we're in his in his yard right now.

It's good to know. And anybody listening who can cast a vote, never vote for that guy ever again. That guy left you stranded, left every individual who's facing getting fired instead of having to deal with a forced vaccine. He left them stranded, didn't do his job, walking away from his colleague, Mike Lee, who's a great American and is out there fighting for you.

Get out there and support Mike Lee. But look, Greg, the reality is we have we are not doing what we should do to protect individuals by getting the truth out. Republicans should be fighting harder on this to end vaccine mandates, to end mask mandates on our kids. And you got a handful of people in Congress fighting and too many people walking away.

Let me do one last good example. So I pushed out that fight and then I lambasted the 19 Republican senators who voted anyway to fund the government that is funding enforcement of the vaccine mandate two weeks ago. Right. And Senator Cornyn, who's a friend, but Senator Cornyn that took the air and Twitter. And he said, by that twisted logic, Chip, by you voting against the continuing resolution, the funding of government, you were voting you were voting against funding Border Patrol. You know what I said? You know what, Senator?

I'll own that. Yes, I was voting against funding the government temporarily in order to fight for the right thing. And in fact, Greg, I called my Border Patrol friends and I said, would you prefer that we have a shutdown fight in order to try to get you the enforcement that you deserve to be able to actually do your job at the border? And they all said yes.

Well, yeah, I think, yeah, that's an important piece to mention, too. You know, excuse me, Mr. Cornyn, but what have you done to actually help secure the border of the United States? Nothing. And all this bluster that that Greg Abbott is doing right now after six years of having done absolutely nothing to defend the border, to protect the border. Chip, when I bought my property 11 years ago, I had illegals cutting my back fence and I'm 65 miles north of San Antonio. And I had illegals and drug trafficking happening on my back property up here where I live. And I and I can tell you, if it wasn't for the fact that I've got neighbors all around me now, but we still have issues happening up in our neck of the woods, actually, that have started back up since the policies of this new administration came into place.

No, that's exactly right. Greg, I was down at Del Rio two days ago with four of my Republican colleagues from the United States Congress Freedom Caucus, as well as five of the Freedom Caucus members of the Texas legislature. And then my friend Russ both former director of the office management budget for Donald Trump. We were down there talking about what we need to do to coordinate federal state conservatives to demand that we do more.

Yeah. And look, I will tell you that the DPS troopers, we met with them for an hour and a half. We met with Border Patrol. We met with ranchers. We went down to the river. We went down to where the alleged incident occurred about the so-called whipping. Oh, brother.

Yeah, yep, a lie. And we had a really good conversation about what we need to do because DPS is actually look, they're they are doing a lot of good things that help Border Patrol by being down there. Because they're stopping criminals from coming up on the highways, they're helping deal with some of the lawlessness on the branches, fences getting cut and all that they're there to help when Border Patrol is spending all their time processing effectively fraudulent asylum claim. Because that's what the five administration is allowing our border to become.

Right. Asylum Processing Center. So what we're able to do is actually prevent some of the criminals. I mean, they've arrested 11,000. They've intercepted 200,000. They've intercepted 126 pounds of fentanyl.

That's all just DPS supplementing. Here's the problem. That's kind of an old way of looking at things. We're going to have to get even more right. We're going to have to start turning away and removing people ourselves as Texans. We're going to have to start thinking about what we're doing with force of entry to shock either a federal government in Washington or the Mexican government to work with us because we're not doing anything to stem the flow.

That's right. We had a good conversation. We're trying to build up a bigger effort to force state based action because this is an invasion. And we should treat it like one. Well, and and and we need representatives in place that are going to actually do something and not just talk about doing something because they're on the campaign trail or because they're afraid that they may get voted out of office now. Look, I'm part of grassroots America and and the reason that we are not endorsing Greg Abbott and we are endorsing Lieutenant Colonel Allen West is in large part because we do not believe. Well, we've been sending Abbott letters for six years for six years demanding that he fulfill his campaign promises and fulfill the platform of the Republican Party of Texas that he was sent there to do. And he has absolutely ignored every letter.

He has responded to not one of those letters, Chip, not one of them. And that's why we're not endorsing you. Well, I'll tell you that the great thing that came out of our gathering down in Del Rio is, again, having both federal and state representatives there, because what we saw in Arizona, the state legislature, they're responding and the attorney general of Arizona declaring that this is in fact a legal invasion under the United States Constitution. That under the Constitution, we have powers as states to repel invasions, turn them away and act for our own security and well-being. So we have that kind of a conversation. And I do think what we need is a paradigm shift. I hate big words like that, but whatever. Yeah, we need a shift in the shift in the way we think about things that, you know, put yourself in Texas in 1850.

Right. And your hair dropped in here and you're like my great great grandfather. And he was a Texas Ranger in 1870. And you're dealing with Comanche raids and you're dealing with bandits from the south, you know, across the Mexican border. And you're dealing with rough country and you don't have a store to go get your good services.

You're just having to survive. We need to get a little bit of that, you know, DNA pulled back out of our Texas roots and remember that our job is to secure and defend our community. And then sit back and wait for the federal government to come in and tell us whether we can be secure. We can damn well secure ourselves.

And that's the way we need to think about it. Whoever is in office, whatever they're doing. I'm just telling you, the next Texas legislative session, we should accept nothing short of a massive advancement by the representatives and the leadership of this state in protecting Texas. We need to defend our border. We need to defend our streets. The legislature should take over law enforcement in Austin, Texas. Just get rid of the fact that ABD has to respond to the city council and mayor.

Take that away. Let ABD work for DPS and let's start securing the streets across the Texas. Let's start removing people on our southern border. Let's conscript sheriffs, conscript former veteran military and put them into our service and maybe the Texas Rangers runs it or we set up some other outfit and have our own border guard.

Maybe some border patrol will join us, but we should secure our own border. Here, here. Hang on one second. We'll be back in just a minute.

And welcome back to chosen generation radio where no topics off limits, everything filtered through biblical glasses. My guest is Chip Roy, congressman from CD 21.

Our congressman here locally, and he is one of the most outspoken voices for the Freedom Caucus in fighting for our constitutional values. Chip, we were talking in the break about, you know, the radical bills that are going through and what kinds of things can be done to try to slow those things down. And then turning towards this midterm election, realistically, where do we potentially see ourselves and with what kind of numbers do we need to get to so that we can again have impact? Because I think people are frustrated even with the idea that, OK, you know, even if we some miraculously in the midterm had a massive landslide of of of new representation in the House and in the Senate, you know, do we end up with the same problems that we've had in the past? I mean, in Trump's first two years, we had the White House, the House and the Senate, and we didn't get there.

Well, let's take this kind of an order. Number one, let's let's start with the political side, which is best case scenario. We take back the House of Representatives.

We have a, I don't know, roughly call it 35 to 200 kind of lead, give or take. If we do our job, it could be a little more could be a little less in the Senate. Best case scenario, you pick up two, three Senate seats and you have a majority, like fifty two, fifty three senators. You don't have 60 votes on the filibuster and you have Joe Biden in the White House. That's what you're going to be dealing with in the best case scenario.

Roughly give or take a couple of seats. So you've got to you've got to prepare yourself for the reality that for the next three years, this year, while we're campaigning in the next two years, our job is very simple. You box in Joe Biden and his bureaucrat cronies who are out there taking away your freedom. That's our job. We have no other job.

You're not going to go past some great big bill. Our job will be to restrict the use of federal dollars, taxpayer money and borrowing to to be used against you. Why are we funding a FBI that's going after parents for challenging school boards? Why are we funding an A.T.F.

to go after shoulder braces that might impact your A.R.? Why are we funding Homeland Security that refuses to secure the border and, in fact, purposely refuses to follow the law and endangers American citizens in the process? Why are we doing that? Why would we fund C.M.S. bureaucrats to go after nurses who refuse to get a vaccine in their health interests that they have to lose their job?

Right. Why would we fund woke diversity, inclusion and equity nonsense in the Department of Defense, the tune of six million man hours over the last several years? That's what we're doing. That's what we're borrowing money. Thirty three dollars a day, spending taxpayer money to do those things.

So that's where the fight is actually centered. As a Republican, if you ask what we're doing right now, we need to continue to block, which we've so far been able to do with the filibuster. And Joe Manchin agreeing to keep the filibuster, we're able to stop, build back better, stop H.R. one election stuff in the voting.

I call it voting fraud bill, so-called Voting Rights Act, which is not the back door way to have federal takeover elections and interfere with your ability to have voter I.D. and all the things you want. Right. So we're able to stop those things. So right now, we need to hold the line for the next 10 months and funding fight and then start messaging the American people what we will do. And then we better darn well get busy electing, obviously, a Republican in twenty, twenty four. And then when we get back in January, twenty point five, do our part, mobilize people, win minds and hearts, then we need to transform this country.

Don't pretend. Don't don't don't beat around the bush, transform the country, return it to the people. We need to be focused on the very simple reality that the government's job is to secure the nation, secure the people, have a strong defense, sparingly used, secure the border and have cops who keep our streets safe. We need to stop spending money we don't have and then get out of the way of the American people.

That's my contract with America. And so that's what we ought to do. How do we get our law enforcement at the highest levels, the Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Homeland Security, how do we get those entities back on track?

Because even in the Trump years and now we know based on what Durham has uncovered, that the FBI, the CIA were involved in spying on the Trump administration and on the Trump campaign as they were coming into office. And then months beyond that, how do we how do we clean up that mess and restore confidence in those entities to the people of this country? Well, as part of what I described at a very 50,000 foot level, we ought to do is sit right in there, leaving some of the American people focusing on security and then get out of the way. Stop spending money we don't have. Defund these clowns.

They take away their big slush fund and then have massive firing of civil servants and bureaucrats who have been screwing Americans. Excuse my phrasing. No, you're right.

You're right. And we need to we need to go after them, clean out the FBI, fire them, clean out the Department of Justice, fire them, clean out the CIA. Narrow them down to the core focus of securing the country with massive oversight. Stop having Congress having hearing. You know, we've had like of all the hearings we've had, we've had a hundreds of hearings on diversity, inclusion, equity, woke stuff. We're not having oversight hearings on the CIA. And if we are, they don't do anything. We should have a focused government on securing the country, Department of Defense and the ways oversee them, make sure they're doing the right stuff, have a homeland security, securing the border, oversight, oversight, oversight, have limited intel and FBI operations to stop.

Terrace cells to keep us safe. Oversight, oversight, oversight, maximum freedom for the people, fire the bureaucrats, get rid of some of the Patriot Act finds the garbage where they can collect information on Americans, get them out of our business and then massively empower the people. Block grant most of the nondefense discretionary dollars back to the state.

Get out of the way. Fire most federal cronies and then restore freedom for the people. That's what we need to be doing aggressively.

I don't want it is beating around the bush Republican nonsense Democrat light, which we've been feeding for now several decades and we need to end it. What do we do about the administrative state? Because that's that's the other piece that I think is most dangerous to us right now is the absolute out of control administrative state entities like the FTC, the federal communications, what they're getting ready to do.

There's there's a push right now with a bill that they're trying to push through that that could potentially defund radio stations to the point where talk radio could become a thing of the past, especially conservative talk radio. Well, and not to beat a dead horse too much. Similarly, it's oversight with a few areas where the government will maintain, you know, its role, obviously, in SEC and things across state lines. There are some role for some of the federal entities and bureaucrats. But you have massive you have oversight and you fire the bureaucrats and defund them when they get in the way.

I mean, that's the bottom line. And look, I'm telling you, the problem is we have so much focus on all of the wrong things instead of the basic core functions of government done well. There is a role for a government at state, local level predominantly.

There is a role for the federal government in a limited capacity on core things across state lines and deal with securing the country. Other than that, they should get out of the business. Stop wasting time focusing on all of the stuff of interfering with every American's life. Stop jamming your nose into people's business about whether they've taken a vaccine. Stop telling schools that they got to teach woke garbage and transgender nonsense and all this stuff. Stop spending time forcing DOD to do all that. And if you eliminate all of that noise and you stop focusing the federal government on that and you focus the federal government on its core duty, have oversight, transparency, you can win.

Look, that's the future, Greg. You and I live in the best part of the best state in the best country in the history of the world. Let's be a vegan of life for limited government freedom. Let's make Texas stronger. Let's hold Republicans accountable. And let's win the culture war, take back our schools, end this critical race theory woke garbage and reclaim and retake America. Well, and let's get God back into the into the equation, because if we don't understand where our rights come from, we keep succeeding our rights, succeeding our rights to government instead of getting our God given rights and holding on to them and being willing to fight for those. We're going to lose this country.

We're losing this country because of that ship. Thank you for all that you're doing. I greatly appreciate it. And thanks for being with us today, folks. Thank you for tuning in today. I greatly appreciate you.

Be sure and get more at the website, chosengenerationradio.com, chosengenerationradio.com. I'll be back with you on Monday. Have a blessed week. At the end of the day, when I stand before my God, I do not want him to ask me, what did you do with the world that I sent my son to die for and redeem? How did you fight the good fight to share the good news and keep evil in check?

How did you shine your light and be a beacon of truth in the darkness? Did you shrink back in fear when they demanded you change my message? Did you call evil good and good evil? Did you forsake my love for that of another, lying with the adulterer and setting up a new idol in your life? Have you defiled yourself through compromise and tolerance of that which I call an abomination? Have you innocent blood on your hands for the children murdered on your watch and the young ones perverted in their way by evil men, seeking their own comfort and reviling me?

No. At the end of the day, I want him to simply say the evidence is in. Well done, thou good and faithful servant. I love my God and I love his creation, and I will go to my grave telling the world that evil is evil and only God is good, and Jesus came to save the world.

That no matter the evil in the world, I will never give up, and in spite of the hate, I will love in truth. God bless you all, and may love remove the veil so you all might enter into his rest.
