Live from Independence, Ohio. We change our lives for the better in many different ways. Heard around the world every Monday through Friday. Pastor Sanders is always years ahead of the rest of the media telling you exactly what they're covering up.
This is what's right, what's left. I tune in every chance I get to hear exactly what's going on with the voice of the Christian resistance. Unabashedly cutting through the rhetoric by exposing the hard topics facing our society and world.
A lot of the other news medias don't pick up the news items like he does. And bringing to light the enemies of freedom who are out to steal your rights, your children, and enslaving you. You really get the truth out. I can tune into your show and hear the unvarnished truth.
Thank you. This is What's Right, What's Left with Pastor Ernie Sanders. Good evening and welcome to One More Day in 50 Years of Radio. The voice of the Christian resistance and tonight, back in the phone booth, I have Pastor's Mighty Men, I have Lonesome Lee, and I have Eric, and also with him tonight leading up that team is Pastor Richard Lewis. Welcome everybody, glad to be here. And in the glass cage we have as our producer tonight, the Mighty Seth. Good evening. And tonight we have also, we heard the cackle, Little Lisa. Good evening everyone. Alrighty, tonight our two guests calling in, we have Beauty and the Beast. Okay. Only kidding, only kidding.
Now we're going to go A Rose Between the Thorns. And that's Ms. Wendy Wilson. Hello Pastor, good to be with you all.
And we have way out there out yonder in, well in Texas, the Texas Star, and none other than Big John McTernan. Now wait a second, you introduced me as a guest? Uh, no, I didn't say it was you. You said we had two guests.
Yeah. Wendy, Wendy, and then me. Yeah, well, uh, Wendy's the Rose. I'm highly offended, I'm highly offended. Oh, well, um, what do I say, Richard? I've never heard you, I've never heard your loss for words.
I've never heard you suffer like that. You really got him. I'll tell you what, you can call me, you can call me a guest and then, and then he. No, this is going to be, what a way to start a show.
This is going to be a great show. All right, there you. God bless you and all our listeners and truly may we have a wonderful show full of truth. Well thank you, Big John.
And the truth shall make you free. You know, there's a big difference in the way men and women think now, you know. When I was, uh, preaching, we were preaching, uh, the title of the message was the good, the bad, and the ugly. And, you know, in the pulpit we were talking about that and I was saying, and by the way, the ugly has no reference to any of us men in this church, right? Now the men all laughed, the men all laughed. I could never do that with the women.
They would hurt me if I did that, right? Amen. So that's, there's a big difference. Right, Wendy? I'll take your word for it. All right.
She's making sure she's not non-committal here, Wendy. Yeah. All righty. Well, we're going to get, we have a whole lot to do. Richard's going to open us in prayer because we really need some prayer tonight. We have a deadline we have to meet by Monday, and so folks, we really need to hear from you. The phone lines are open, this is Pledge Week, and the credit card line is 888-281-1110. We're anticipating a good night with a lot of callers, so we have extra people here tonight. The other number is 888-677-9673. That's 888-677-9673. Pastor Richard, would you open us in prayer?
Sure. Dear Heavenly Father, we just come before this evening, Lord, to lift up the radio program and lift up Pastor Sanders as he presents the information and has his guest with Wendy giving such good information that she has, but we just ask for a blessing upon them. And also, Lord, we just pray that the listening audience's hearts touch to donate and to give to the cause here to keep the radio program on the air in their particular cities. And Pastor Sanders talking about the need for this and the need to be able to do this so that he can have, stay on all the stations, Lord. So, we just would ask for thy will to be done here, Lord.
Just touch the hearts of the listeners and have your plan for the radio program completed and what the response is by the listeners. We thank you so very much for the blessings you shower upon us daily, and we thank you so very much for all the things that you give us, Lord. Please bless us. God bless the listeners, and we thank you. In Jesus Christ's name we pray.
Amen. Thank you so much, Richard. Okay, and I'm going to go get on the lines because we expect to be busy back there, so you got it. All right.
Thank you so much. We're going to get the message. The message was those that wallow in profanity, and the incentive was what has been taking place here. In the last couple of weeks, the Democrats have lost their minds. They've been out on the streets daily. Every day they're out in the state capitals. They were out there again today, and they're cursing.
They're taking God's name in vain. I couldn't believe just listening to some of them, and you know, the interesting thing was how when they were dropping the F-bomb, you had five women, well, five females and one male, I want to even say they're men and women, Congress people, they came out and said, well, a couple of them were state representatives, that the women all were dropping the F-bomb. One of them did the F-bomb, F.U. Trump, F.U.
Musk, and F.U. Doge, okay? And this woman was clearly a dingbat. She came out, she's a state rep, and she said, I've never done this before, but she was so excited about being able to use profanity on our national news. So, anyhow, we've been talking about that and going through different scriptures of the Bible, condemning the profanity, and tonight we're going to finish, and we're going to start tonight in Mark 14, John, Mark 14, verses 66-72, that's Mark 14, verses 66-72. And if you've got your mechanical Bible there, would you get to that and read that?
I sure will, Beth Ernie. Mark 14, starting at verse 66, as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest, and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand, I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch in the cock-crow, and a maid saw him again, and said to him, And sayeth to them that stood by, This is one of them. And he denied it again, and a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them, thou art a Galilean, and thy speech agreeeth thereto. And he began to curse and swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. And the second time the cock crowed, and Peter called to mind the word of Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereupon he wept. Well, here, now, he said Peter began to curse and swear.
He was very, very angry, you see, because he was guilty, wasn't he? But here, but I believe, John, that this is the very moment that Peter got saved, and let me tell you why. Remember, prior to that, Jesus had instructed Peter. He had said that once you are converted, feed my sheep, Peter, once you're converted. In other words, once you're saved. But the reason I believe this is the very moment Peter got saved, I want to turn over to Luke chapter 22 and read verses 54 through 62.
This is Luke's account. Now, here, we read this, Then took they him, and led them, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's office house with her. And Peter followed afar off. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. And after a little while, another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. Now, it's an interesting thing, because the other ones, they referred to it as women, but here, Luke is saying, Man, I am not.
So obviously, there was more than just two. And about the space of one hour, after another confidently affirmed saying of truth, this fellow also was with him, for he is a Galilean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest.
And immediately, while he was yet spake, the cock croaked. And the Lord, now, here's where John and Wendy, I believe, Peter got saved, right here. And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crowed, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out and wept bitterly. That's where, I believe, that Peter was saved, right there. Can you imagine, remember what they were doing? The Pharisees were smiting Peter.
They were hitting him on the face. And so, or Jesus, rather, they had slapped him on the face, and now Jesus turns, and there's Peter sitting there. Remember what happened, John, earlier, when the Lord Jesus had told them three times that he was going to have to be crucified, and that he would raise again on the third day. Now, Peter and Jesus told him, and you're all going to deny me, you're all going to flee from me, you're going to, and Peter says, never.
I would never, if I be the only one, I'll stay, I would never deny thee. And the Lord rebuked Peter. And so, what do you think, John? Well, Pastor Ernie, Peter, well, we'll just focus on him, he was with the Lord throughout the Lord's entire ministry, which was three and a half years, and he saw every single miracle that Jesus did. There was a lot of things that Jesus did that weren't in the Bible, they weren't listed.
The only ones listed in the Bible were so that we would believe, you know, that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God. So, he saw an enormous amount of incredible things the Lord did, but yet, none of that helped him when the soldiers came to arrest Peter, I mean, arrest the Lord. And what was at the core of that, Pastor Ernie, was fear, that he had a spirit of fear in him, and it didn't manifest, as long as he was Jesus, you couldn't see it. So, at the time of his arrest, and that the Lord was going to go to the cross, Peter was afraid of being arrested with him and going to the cross also. So, he was absolutely full of fear, and that's what caused him to deny the Lord and everything that happened. Remember when they came in the garden, they said to me, and Peter drew his sword and cut off Malchus' ear. And you know, when they came upon Jesus with their torches and their clubs, and the Lord stepped forward, when he stepped forward, they all fell back. That should have told some- That's exactly what happened. Pardon? That's exactly what happened. Well, that should have, that would have told me something right there, right? Oh yeah. Okay.
Yeah. So, then Peter draws his sword out, he cuts off Malchus' ear, which was the servant of the high priest, and the Lord Jesus, he took the ear and he put it back on, and it was healed. Now, Peter, as you know, was not a swordsman, he was a fisherman.
He was probably going for his head, you know, or probably wanted to get him on the neck. But anyhow, Peter seemed to be really bold there at that point, but then Jesus did exactly what Peter wouldn't expect it, and I mean, here now, they knew what a horrible, horrible, horrible way to die crucifixion was, and they just could not, Peter could not, the apostles, understand why Jesus would allow themself somewhere along the line, they did not understand that he was the only person that was ever born with the exact purpose, the express purpose of dying for the sin of men. And here, and so when Jesus went with them, and they saw that they were going to do it, I mean, they thought, this is it, he's lost, I mean, the conception, they could not conceive the fact that Jesus was going to do exactly what he said, that he would raise himself on the third day, could they? No, they couldn't, Pastor Ernie, in the Bible, in 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy 1 says, For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. His mind wasn't functioning right because of the fear, Pastor Ernie. Well, you know, 66, no, 366 times, 366 times in the Bible says, either fear not or be not afraid.
You know, I think he won for every single day of the year, huh? Oh, yeah, I never thought of that, yeah. So I said... Fear is a tremendous force, Pastor Ernie, it's a powerful tool of the devil in our lives. That's what our opposition, that's what the Democratic Party kept trying to do, is to try to use fear, and this is what they're doing when they're trying to convince the people that President Trump and Elon Musks are Nazis, dictators, Nazi dictators, okay?
Yeah, and they're going to steal all your records, they're going to take your privacy away, it's always, you know, it's lies, but that's what they're using, tactics of fear. And when they're going out there, you have one of those Congressmen who's going to be under investigation, now that is, you know, along with Chuck Schumer, because he threatened people, he was telling people to take up arms, physical arms, and go after Elon Musk. The Gateway Planet previously reported, Ed Martin announced earlier this month that in his office he would charge arresting individuals who threatened, and I'm looking at, I've got those, Representative Robert Garcia was one that threatened Elon Musk telling people to take up arms and go get him. And then you had Chuck Schumer, who was, he threatened the Supreme Court, remember he threatened those justices on the Supreme Court.
Absolutely, Pastor Ernie, you're absolutely right, he did. And so, he's under investigation for that, too. So if you see what's happening, Pastor Ernie, they're so used to being protected by Biden, but not only Biden, just by the Republicans who also go along with this, that he could threaten the Supreme Court justices and not think that he'd ever be arrested for it. It doesn't enter their mind, they're all above the law. Well, yeah, that's because they had a two-tier, this law fairly. They were only going after, Christians, mostly Christians, pro-lifers, homeschoolers, J-6s, you know, and they would not go after those that were looting and burning. In fact, not only would they not go after them, Kamala Harris actually was bailing out, antifa, you know, after they were setting cities on fire. Yes, exactly right. Trump brought that up during the election. Yep.
And so... Yeah, so they're so bold, they never, they're so bold because they've been getting away with this for so long that they never even think of, like, they might be arrested for what they're saying, because they're Democrat politicians and they don't get arrested like that. Just like that, Waters, the Congresswoman, what's her first name? Maxine. Maxine.
Yeah, Maxine, Mad Maxine. She was out there, she was saying, I'm gonna take Trump out. I'm gonna take him out. I'm gonna take Trump out, okay? Now, to say that, what does that, what does that tell you?
When someone says they're gonna take you out, she wasn't talking about going on a date, was she? Well, Pastor Ernie, what about the AOC telling people where to go to find out about how you can defeat ICE? You know, if you're an illegal alien, they were putting seminars on them. That's called insurrection, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, right. So something, this is heading toward any indictment of them as sitting senators and Congress, members of Congress, I mean, this could really upset, this could be shocking, Pastor Ernie, and Schumer might have to step down if he's indicted, or they'll censor him, or something. This is serious stuff now. So now they're gonna, the leftist is gonna call this revenge and that, but it's not, it's justice, isn't it? Yeah, revenge. He is threatening the Supreme Court nominees, and they're threatening Musk, who's working as a government agent. They're actually threatening him in public. So how could that be revenge?
It's justice. Is there any doubt in your mind at all that Joe Biden was behind the assassination attempts on Trump? No doubt. Well, I tell you what, Pastor Ernie, it depends upon his mind. You know, I don't think there's any doubt. I don't think there's any doubt, Pastor Ernie.
I want to go back. He made statements about, I'm gonna see to it that Trump will never become president. Do you remember those statements? Yeah, he said, I will stop him. And then towards the end, then, you know, in the last, this past summer, remember that last summer, he said, before he announced that he was, you know, that they threw him under the bus, he said, I will put a target on Trump. I will have a target on him.
Pretty heavy stuff. I mean, he could always say, well, that was just figurative. But he says that. And then a short time later, there's an assassination attempt on Trump. I mean, that's quite a, that's not a coincidence. You're telling me. Absolutely.
All righty. We have, we're supposed to have a guy calling in right about now. If he doesn't call in, I think he's calling in now. We're going to give an announcement to a fellow named Will Gray. Will Gray should be calling in, talking about what's taking place at 15848 Navajo Road in Middlefield, Ohio. And so, let me see, is that Will Gray? Are you there, Will? Yes, it is.
All right. Tell us what's coming up on, I believe it's Tuesday. We're on 15848 Navajo Road in Middlefield, Ohio. Yeah, I have, it's at Heritage Marketplace, they're meeting in their community hall. I have 15920 Navajo Road is what I was told in Middlefield, Ohio.
Well, we'll go with yours because, give that again one more time. 15920 Navajo Road, and it's the Heritage Marketplace is where it is, in Middlefield, Ohio. And what's, what, 6 30, 6 p.m., and what's taking place? Yes, Eugene Bock, I don't know if many people have heard of Eugene Bock, but he's an author and speaker, he's also the leader of a mission organization, and he's going to be coming and sharing about what God is doing with the Chinese church. And so, a lot of people are not aware of it, but right now, in our time and our day, the largest revival the world has ever seen is taking place in China. So we're getting reports of up to 20 to 30,000 people every day that are coming to Christ in China right now, and out of that revival, the church has a vision to take the gospel and bring it back to Jerusalem, where it all started 2,000 years ago, and so their vision is to raise up an army of 100,000 missionaries and send out, they've already sent about 10% of that out into the areas between China and Jerusalem.
And so that's the vision, and Eugene's going to be coming, sharing more about that, he's got some pretty incredible stories of what God is doing there, and he's going to share some of the projects and stuff we have going on, and some of the cool gadgets that we have that we're using to get the gospel into restricted and closed nations of the world. Well, praise the Lord for that, you know, it's interesting, too, because just recently, and it was about the last month, Will, by the way, we have with us here Ms. Wendy Wilson, say hi to Will. Hi, Will, good to have you with us. And Yeah, good to hear you, Wendy.
And Chaplain John McTernan, John is co-founder of Cops for Christ International. Oh, that's great. Hello, brother, and God bless you. And Yeah, it's good to hear from both of you guys. We were just talking to them.
Sorry to interrupt your program. Well, that's okay, but just recently, there was, they had a million people, a million people in Iran converted to Christianity. Yes, Iran is on fire for Christ right now, so. Well, praise the good Lord.
That's amazing. But yeah, that's one of the countries that the Chinese want to go to, so they're targeting those countries between China and Jerusalem, which if people aren't aware of what that area is like, that's the majority where the Muslims and the Hindu and the Buddhist peoples of the world live. It's also some of the most unreached areas of the world, and so it's just really amazing to see how God has kind of set this up, because the Chinese are welcome into a lot of those countries, so a lot of countries we're not welcome into, they are welcome into. And so we're just there to support them and help them be more effective at what God's called them to do. And so Eugene's going to come share about that, give people opportunity to be involved and to do whatever they want, whatever they call God calling them to do.
Well, praise the good Lord. John, you've seen recently a tremendous amount of Muslims, especially clerics, coming to Christ, haven't you? Yes, Pastor Ernie, in Pakistan and in Kenya, there's a tremendous move of the Lord amongst the Muslims.
And also, the Hindus, specifically in Pakistan, I'm not talking about India, I'm talking about Pakistan, there's about 15 million in Pakistan, and they are coming in droves to the Lord. That's exciting, wow, that's amazing. That is a sure sign of our Lord's soon return, we're seeing, everything's falling in place. It really is.
Yep, it really is. And that's that last pocket of the world, I mean, if you look a little bit of the history of the Gospel and the way it's spread, it obviously started in Jerusalem with Jesus, but if you start documenting the spread of it, for some reason, Scripture leaves all the other disciples and just follows Paul's journey, and Paul's journey was going in a westward movement. We read that several times he tried to go off in different directions and the Spirit wouldn't allow him. And then once you leave Scripture and start looking at where revival and the spread of the Gospel, it's been mostly taking a westward movement, what has been documented. Going from Paul's missionary journeys across Europe and into the Americas, back around into Asia where we're seeing revival now, and so it's that last pocket coming back around to Jerusalem that is really, I believe, is fulfilling the last of the prophecies. When Jesus is telling his disciples and they ask him what are going to be the signs, the last sign was, this Gospel we might want to preach to all nations and then the end will come. And so I really believe we're seeing that and could see that in our lifetime, the Gospel being taken to the last resistant areas of the world. I think we're seeing it too. I really believe it. I think we're seeing what he says in Daniel, chapter 12, verses 3 and 4, where the unsealing, when he told him to seal up the book, Daniel, that we're seeing right now the unsealing of that book.
And all of this is taking place before our very eyes, huh? All right, well, thank you, Will. Would you give that address one more time? That's Tuesday at 6 p.m. And give that address one more time.
From the Heritage Marketplace in Middlefield, Ohio, and it's at 15920 Navajo Road, N-A-U-V-O-O, 15920 Navajo Road. Yeah, Will, I'd love to talk to you and could I get you a number from Pastor Ernie and give you a call? You sure can. All righty, we will do that. Okay. Thank you. God bless.
Absolutely. All right. Bless you all. You, too. Thank you so much.
All righty. Let's see, when do we pick up here? I'm looking to see the callers that are calling in. It looks like, I don't know when they started for tonight, where we started with Bill in New Jersey pledged $59, or $50, right? And Danny in Michigan pledges $125. Judy in Indiana pledges $150, okay. The numbers are 888-281-1110.
That's the credit card line, 888-281-1110, or 888-677-9673, or 888-677-9673. You know, John, there are actually more Christians living in China than there are people in the United States, and that's an awesome thought. Most people don't know that because, remember, the persecution, the blood of the martyrs are the seeds of the church. So... Yeah, that's true, Pastor Ernie, and you take China's about a billion, 300 million people, so 10% of the population would be 300 million, and that would be roughly the size of the United States' population would be a little bigger than that. But just 10% of the Chinese with Christ would be, you know, almost the size of the United States. Yeah. Population. All right, well, that, praise the good Lord, we've seen it unveiled before our eyes.
Let's go to Mrs. Wilson. Ms. Wilson, one of the things that's taking place out there has to deal with Costco, and we're boycotting Costco because they refuse to give up DEI. They said they're going to stay with DEI, they're going to stay with Woke, and the whole shooting match, and I believe they're owned by the Chinese government.
In fact, the Chinese military, I believe, owns Costco, but anyhow, what do you say about that? Yeah. Doesn't surprise me, you know. We're learning all kinds of things with the new administration, aren't we? Yeah.
Tell us, where's the beef? Yeah. Well, you know, Sam's Club, all those discount places where you can buy food, I think they recently came out and said that the beef that they sell there was from some sort of a vendor that used a lot of antibiotics on the cattle, so people were a little upset about that.
Yeah, I guess they would be, because they used, they're saying that MRN... They have the, yeah, right, yeah, the new vaccine method of making vaccines. It's just, well, humanity's under attack from many levels, it really is. I've got here an article right here, Wendy, now listen to this, okay? Because we were on top of this thing years ago, but Yale scientists link COVID shot to a rare, alarming syndrome that causes, listen to this, Wendy, distinct biological changes in the body, okay? Now this was just yesterday, this article, now how long ago did we warn people? You were the first ones to come on three weeks before the first shot was given.
Well, we were discussing animal trials on the mRNA for COVID, and the animals didn't do well at all, it was like 100% death rate, and usually when you're conducting, you know, a good, you know, study, you stop right there, you don't move to the clinical trials with human subjects, but that's not what happened. No, and Massachusetts pledges 1,000, Mary in New Jersey pledges 100, and Carmen in Connecticut pledges 100, thank you, thank you, thank you. All right, I've got to give those numbers again, 888-281-1110 or 888-677-9673. Go ahead, Wendy, I'm sorry, I got to keep bringing this up, we're on a deadline. We sent you a donation today, so look for that soon. Well then, what was the amount in the pledge, we'll put it up here.
I believe it was 400. Okay, put Wendy down for 400. Maybe somebody can match it, you know? Yeah, maybe somebody, well you know what, every time you've done this, people have matched you, you've had three matches every time you've done that, and so far... That's a good thing.
Yeah, that's a very good thing, let's see, can we get people to match Wendy's 400 or Edna's 1,000 out there, can we get, yeah, what about one of McTurner matches both? I think I hear crickets. Have mercy on me, President. All right, all right, yeah, we started out with a rough night on John here, anyhow, yeah. But, we had to pick it up from there, so... You know, Pastor Ernie, what happened to you tonight, starting the show, reminds me, years ago when you asked me, you had sung a song, and you asked me what I thought of it, and I said I thought you were out of tune, remember that? Yeah, boy do I remember that. So these two nights, these two events go together, Pastor Ernie, you were speechless, you didn't know what, you were stuttering and stammering. I also remember a time we played that song, and the little girl sang in that song, and the lady that was in the studio asked me, who is that little girl? And I said, that's not a little girl, that's John McTurner, and that's how he sounds when he sings, and you were there, and you said, that's brutal, that is really brutal, you did.
Oh boy. Well, Pastor Ernie and myself, we've had such laughs together, just a quick one, Pastor Ernie, remember you used to put those cushions on your chair to keep the dog off? Yeah, that was... And I asked you what's that for, and you told me to sit on it, and that was... Yeah, what happened was, we came in, we had these things, these little spike plastic pads they put down.
Yeah, they were spiked. Yeah, and so to keep the dog off the couch, and so John comes in and he sees those, and he asks me, what are those? And I says, oh, those are butt massagers, and he said, no kidding, I've never seen a butt massager, how does it work? And I said, you just sit on it and move around.
So just at that time, John's sitting on it, and he's moving, and he says, you know, this doesn't feel very good, who? No, that's not true, Pastor Ernie, I sat on that and leaped up in the air, and your wife was hollering at you, but tricking me. Yeah, and she had to walk in right at that time, and she, oh, geez, I can't believe you did. And I'm standing there and I'm looking at you and I'm saying, how stupid can I be?
I'm stupid, I'm stupid. Yeah, and boy did she give it to me if we're doing that, but... Well, Pastor, do you know how you can keep your dog off the couch without having to do that? How do you do that? Just get a pot lid and a spoon, and when the dog gets on the couch, you walk up to the dog and you kind of whack the spoon on the lid and say, no, get down, and they'll get down. And if you do that just a couple of times, they get the message and they won't go on the couch because the sound of the metal sounds to them like a lead dog, you know, their hierarchy with the lead dog snapping at them and correcting them.
So it works every time. I couldn't do that, because that's what my wife does to me to keep me off the furniture. All right, yeah, you know, I never thought about that, but I know what happened when my brother, the bear, a bear got in the garbage can, and my brother went out to throw some stuff in there when we were out camping, and the bear was on the back side of the garbage can, and the big bear come up over the top of the can, stood up, and when my brother seen that, he took off running, and he came and the bear was chasing him, and my other brother and that, he stood out there and he started hitting these pots together, like he said, Wendy, and hitting it with a spoon, and it scared the bear away. Yeah, my mom ran into a bear.
We were in the Smoky Mountains camping, and she had gone to, you know, the little restroom that the campground had, and when you come, and it was kind of dark, the sun had set, so when you come out of the bathroom, your eyes have to adjust a minute because it's dark outside. Anyway, she was walking out of there, and she bumped into a bear that was stooped over a garbage can just outside the bathroom, groped the garbage, and they scared one another. The bear ran off, and my mom ran back into the bathroom, and she came back to the trailer and kind of shook up, and she said, I just popped into a bear, you know, I just, and we were asking, ooh, what was that like, and she says, well, the fur was kind of rancidy with fat, so I guess they got a lot of fat in their glands.
And so she said, it's like, you know, bumping into a piece of rancid. Probably the stuff the bear got on here, this happened here a few years ago, out in Planned Predators, Planned Predators there, on the corner of Rockside and Route 43 here, and what happened, this bear comes out, out of the woods, and it's a big bear, it's about a 600-pound bear, and it goes and somebody made a loud noise, whatever, the bear climbed up a tree, and so we're out there, we get to the abortion mill, and there the fire department comes out to get the bear out of the tree, and the bear's up fairly high, so they're trying to hit him with a hose, they've got these big fire hoses, two of them, one on either side, and I told the fireman, look, I said, if you just leave that bear alone, just leave him alone, he'll come down out of that tree, because he don't want to be here. And he says, hey, listen, you stick with your preaching, and let me handle this, right? And so I said, all right, but I'm telling him, and so we were there, and it was really, the fake news media had a hard time, because, you know, we were out there, we had our signs and pictures of aborted babies, and they were there to get it, and they couldn't keep feeling, missing our signs out there, and then hearing us preach, because, you know, they didn't want to do that. And then, so what happened, eventually, they got tired, the bear just, we had a death grip, would not turn that tree loose, and they got tired and quit skirting, they turned off the water, within about three minutes after they turned off the water, that bear came down out of the tree, and that fireman, oh, he was mad at me, I said, told you so, and well, he was mad.
Now that bear came within six inches of me, they came running, and they came within six inches of me, and this thing weighed every bit of 600 pounds, it was a good-sized bear. And I'm just glad it got out of there. All righty, Andrea in Ohio pledges 50, thank you, Andrea, 888-281-1110, or, and that's the credit card line, or 888-677-9673, uh, yes, ma'am. Do you want me to cover a health topic tonight? Yeah, I thought we were doing that. Well, I mean, how much time do we have until you have to take a break? You got all the time you, the time we have to take a break, we do about seven-minute segments, you got about, just, about that, about seven or eight minutes, yeah. Oh, I can't fit it in in seven minutes.
No, no, you can pick it up on the other side of the hour. Okay, well, let's talk about the topic that we had mentioned a while back, but you chose a different topic, and I got calls from your listeners, they wanted to hear this topic, so it's about lab-grown retinas, okay? So, you know, science is growing human retinas and petri dishes, supposedly solving some mysteries of the human vision problem, and it could be that, you know, we should expect to see some retinal transplants in the future that may become as common as cataract surgery. Now, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology in February 2024, surgeons injected retinal cells made from stem cells into a human eye in clinical trials in an attempt to grow healthy retinal cells, and there are really no details as to the effectiveness of this study yet, but in 2013, Science Direct reported on retinal transplants saying that there was limited human retinal tissue to be transplanted, and some raised some ethical issues on the procedure. So that report also stated other surgical procedures would need to be developed, and therefore, instead of transplanting cadaver tissues, building retinas with stem cells to assemble themselves within the eye.
The research did get published in the February 2024 issue of the Public Library of Science. Now, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, their report said that while creating retinas in the petri dish, they also noticed that they described as the possible reason humans see colors and animals can't, so it seems that vitamin A, which helps with vision, can be partly responsible for humans seeing color. The report also said vitamin A generates special cells, allowing vision in color. They also speculated some of the color blindness and age-related vision loss may be a block to this function regarding what is called photoreceptor eye cells. So included in their report was how our genes are also involved with the instruction code for cell activity, which also factors in at being able to see in color, and the process medicine originally thought was all controlled by your thyroid gland.
That's what they thought controlled your color vision faster. So what exactly are they growing? Well, the research is growing retinal cells in petri dishes and is scientifically known as retinal organoids. The organoids are artificially grown cells or tissues that look like an organ.
Science hopes that their organoids will mass produce an organ and they are generating and will continue to mature and grow inside the human host several weeks after it is implanted. In the retinal organoid process, the scientists sort of tweak cellular properties of the cells, and when they did this, they said they found a molecule called retininic acid, which they said affects the rods and cones, allowing color in reds and greens. So apparently scientists have replaced the thyroid hormone theory for color vision with a retinic acid sequence. And there is also the protein that they detected called opsin, which seems to help to see the difference in colors.
Here's a quote from the research. They said, because we can control the organoid and the population of green and red cells, we can kind of push the pool to be more green or more red so they can tweak it in either direction. So it's not going to be a stretch for science to one day manipulate animal retinal organoid cells in order for animals to see in color. And that is with the scientific assumption that animals don't already see in color. So your human eye is very complex, and as it continues to kind of blur the lines within their own ethics and the morality of the human race, we can see this kind of disconnect or confusion manifesting within science, and they don't know the difference between human and animal. They often include humans in an animal category.
Here's a quote from a retinal study. This was January 2024, Public Library Science. They said, it's a huge question about what makes us human and what makes us different from other species, end of quote. That was Robert Johnson, professor of biology at Johns Hopkins University. That's astonishing, isn't it?
Well, at least they know that there is a difference, maybe, right? Right. Well, the human eye is complex, and remember Charles Darwin? He offered some interesting input to the human eye. He did. He said, if there's anything that disproves his theory of evolution, it would be the human eye, huh?
Right. Darwin was really concerned that the scientific community took a theory and turned it into a religion. And the reason Darwin was concerned, because as you know, he was at Cambridge.
He was studying as a clergyman in 1828, so he wasn't a stranger to the Holy Scriptures. Here's a quote from Darwin, and he says, it's absurd to propose that the human eye evolved through spontaneous mutation and natural selection, end of quote. So Darwin, however, Darwin's statement did not really distract the scientists in the community from magnifying and promoting the theory of evolution, as you know. But you know, first the scientists have to figure out how the retinic acid is affecting the genes, and the scientists will, well, they don't really fully understand the ratio effect of the green and red cones at this point, and any manipulation at this juncture would be kind of an educated guess, or as my brother used to call it, the swag method. Do you know what that stands for?
No. Scientific wild-ass guess. That's kind of what he calls it, which is really not too far off. You know, Bates, considering a lot of the fraud we're seeing in research now, they just really don't know the full spectrum or function of the neurological tissues or cells that they're wanting to alter. And as one lead researcher said, and this is Robert Johnson, professor of biology, John Hopkins, he said, if these types of cells determine the length of a human arm, the different ratios would produce amazingly different arm lengths. So he's understanding that ring here could produce a whole new effect that they're really not expecting.
So I would say before you inject anything into your eyes, retinal cells or whatever, do your homework first, real important, to investigate treatments before you get them. Modern medicine is a business, and unfortunately we often put profits before the patient, as we have been finding out. So... Wendy, hang on, because we're coming up to a hard break, but it's a very short hard break. We'll be back right after this with a whole lot more, so don't go away. Whole lot more to come. Be right back.
