00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.080
A high school football coach in Washington's
state, Joe Kennedy has resigned after just

2
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:07.839
one game back on the field.
Kennedy had waged a seven year legal battle

3
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:11.720
to pray publicly on the field after
games, citing religious freedom. The US

4
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.399
Supreme Court's conservative majority sided with him
last year, allowing his postgame prayers.

5
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:21.079
However, he decided to step down, citing personal reasons, including caring for

6
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:25.760
an alien family member out of state. Critics argue that the court shouldn't have

7
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:30.120
heard the case, as Kennedy no
longer lived in the district and had moved

8
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:36.079
to Florida without notifying the court.
Kennedy's case has ignited debate about religious liberties

9
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.399
versus the separation of church and state
in public schools. Whether his resignation will

10
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:45.399
have further implication implications remains to be
seen this article. The articles used in

11
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.520
this episode are in AP News by
Ed Kommenda and Forbes by William Skipworth.

12
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.399
Phoebe, what do you have to
say, Just one word for you?

13
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.240
One tossa. That's it. He
is a tossa, and he is nothing

14
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.479
more and nothing less, an absolute
toss But he's not the problem here.

15
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:07.439
The problem here are Alito and Thomas, who are by far the worst pieces

16
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:12.560
of human detritus ever to wear a
black robe in Washington, d C.

17
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:19.040
And sit in one of those nine
chairs at one Washington Street. It doesn't

18
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.920
matter. It seems that they don't
give a monkey. This was not a

19
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.879
genuine cake. This was a man
trying to impose some form of nonsense on

20
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.560
us, and he succeeded. And
those two idiots have allowed the hearing of

21
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.280
other such nonsense, like the nonsensical
case of three oh three Cre eight,

22
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.120
the nonsensical case of Pressure Fix and
Masterpiece Cake Shop, all of which fly

23
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.079
all the way through the great big
illegal precedent that was TWA TWA is a

24
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.920
case that said in the nineteen eighties, if you're a religious person and a

25
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.120
company says, look, please work
on a Saturday because otherwise we're going to

26
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.560
move you to a different state,
that's fine, because that's unreasonable to do.

27
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.079
What the court has done here is
it has allowed people to do the

28
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.919
one thing that should never be allowed. And that one thing that should never

29
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:14.840
be allowed is not freedom or religion. It's freedom from religion. And that

30
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.520
is the one thing that is now
dead. Freedom from religion. Is now

31
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.879
dead in the United States. Jimmy, can you revive it? I don't

32
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:29.840
know that I can revive it,
but I can agree that this is completely

33
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.759
unconstitutional to allow this man to continue
doing that and to set the precedent for

34
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.680
other people to do that. So
with everything that Kennedy has been through over

35
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.919
the last eight years and drug US
all through, drug his community through,

36
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.759
and his football team, the one
thing I can agree with him with is

37
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:53.039
that the best way he can advocate
for constitutional freedom and religious liberty is by

38
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.240
working from outside the school, because
otherwise he's back on the school and he's

39
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.479
forcing the school or excuse me,
in the school, and he's forcing the

40
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.639
school to utilize their grounds, which
requires funding and other resources to sponsor his

41
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.039
religion, which of course is on
constitution. But I do think that this

42
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:16.039
guy really was never interested in what
was right and what was wrong per se.

43
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:20.520
But I think he was interested in
the spotlight. This gentleman has a

44
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.240
website where he asks for donations,
where he offers his services, and where

45
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:31.400
he makes politically aligned statements that go
along with certain candidates, something that I'm

46
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.439
not going to delve into. But
all I can say is I see this

47
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.159
whole charade as nothing but that,
And I don't have a whole lot of

48
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:44.199
faith if you will, that this
man really cared about people's rights, are

49
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.080
not so, Cynthia. Can you
comment on that? I can, and

50
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.919
I will, And I saw what
you did there. I saw what you

51
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.639
did, Jimmy, and I agree. I don't have much faith either that

52
00:03:53.919 --> 00:04:02.240
this person is actually really tearing about
being God's instrument in order to bring prayer

53
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:10.120
to the young people on the football
field, especially when we covered actually mister

54
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:15.039
Kennedy a few times in the past, and when his story came up and

55
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.120
it was actually taken to the Supreme
Court and the Conservative Court actually sided with

56
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:26.120
him. Justice Neil Gorcich wrote that
the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect

57
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:31.560
and tolerance, non censorship and suppression
for religious and non religious views alike.

58
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:38.199
But one thing that brought up that
mutual respect and tolerance was what Ken Joe

59
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:43.680
Kennedy was practicing and the school that
told him to pray in the locker room

60
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:48.040
instead of making a grand display after
games in midfield. He completely ignored that.

61
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:54.480
And even the ap article mentioned that
the Americans united for separation of church

62
00:04:54.519 --> 00:05:00.000
and state represented the school in the
district case. Actually at the Supreme Court

63
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.199
argued that the Supreme courts even should
have actually dismissed this case as moot because

64
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:10.680
Kennedy didn't even live in Bremerton and
had failed to notify the court of his

65
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:16.279
three thousand mile move and for the
more civilized world, that's forty eight hundred

66
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:23.079
kilometers when he went to of all
places, Florida, let that sink in.

67
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.519
Regardless, he did cite that he
had personal issues and that's the reason

68
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.199
why he left his job, that
he fought for seven years to do his

69
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.360
way. And now, as Jimmy
mentioned, he has a personal website.

70
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.360
Oh and I was also going to
mention, Jimmy, don't forget boyfriend has

71
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:45.160
a publicist. Okay, he has
a publicist. That's somebody with plans for

72
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:49.120
stardom right there. This is very
much so. And I and I agree

73
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:53.480
with that. I agree with the
grifting, and I agree with stardom.

74
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.399
Well, and you know where he's
gonna actually get his book? Well,

75
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:02.040
yeah, I'm breathe, breathe,
But you know, four seconds and four

76
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:10.399
seconds out. But I tell you, well, yes, yes, will

77
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:15.920
save all English people every time.
But but you know with him having actually

78
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:20.519
a publicist, he actually had lunch
with Governor Desantist, and Desantists actually asked

79
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:25.079
him, would you please, you
know a campaign stop with me, but

80
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.399
he turned him down because he is
loyal to four a time and died at

81
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:32.360
former President Donald Trump principles people principles. But just one thing I just wanted

82
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:38.360
to point out on that we actually
talked about on previous shows is that the

83
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.480
team that he coached for over seven
years, seven years ago rather did not

84
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:49.279
have a stellar performance, showing on
multiple ocase. So I suppose that along

85
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:56.000
with all his personal problems, he
wanted to announce that he was leaving after

86
00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.839
the team actually won the first time
that he was coaching again twenty seven to

87
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:06.519
twelve over the visiting Mount Douglas Secondary
School, to show my God still stands

88
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:11.920
and shows up for your calls just
to win football, because that's why God

89
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.759
is around people. I don't know
if you knew that that God only in

90
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:24.519
existence to win football. Yes mebe
heart out. Yeah, buddy, God

91
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.160
help me find my car keys this
morning. I just want to say that

92
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.720
it wasn't told me Tubville. God
also helped me find a parking space.

93
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:38.000
I didn't know if you knew that. So there you go. So for

94
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:43.040
Earl Gray Tea for part finding parking
spaces and also finding your keys, that

95
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.040
is what God is good for.
But you know, I just but nevertheless

96
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.839
than any of that, guys,
I just really wanted to remind the audience

97
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:58.000
of something. But before I do
actually remind what the Bible says, because

98
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:03.560
we are already know that what's important
amongst any of our opinions is what the

99
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.800
Bible says, I wanted to go
ahead and just give it back to Aaron

100
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.920
to just do a little bit more
commentary, if you will, please,

101
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.240
sir. Yeah, I'm gonna try
not to get worked up because this this

102
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.040
this this case in our current Supreme
Court. If anything's gonna get me worked

103
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:26.920
up, it's it's these biscors.
Yeah. I don't know what theer is,

104
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.759
but I hope it's really really bad. You can say in Parliament,

105
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:35.279
but only if you're aferrd to somebody
who's wasteful with money in any other references,

106
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.039
but you know, Tulsa someone who's
wasteful with money. So gorse is

107
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.960
in his opinion on the case,
and I think somebody mentioned this as well,

108
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.120
that the best of our traditions,
you know, council mutual respect and

109
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.720
tolerance, not censorship and suppression for
religious and non religious views alike. No,

110
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.919
the best of our traditions is a
secular state is a state free from

111
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.320
religion. That is the best of
our traditions. When you have when you

112
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.679
have a secular government, it gives
everybody the freedom to practice the religion as

113
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:09.080
they choose in private. Sec Secular
governments require freedom and democracy, require respect

114
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:15.799
and tolerance. Religion is the institution
that engenders authoritarianism. God the ultimate authoritarian,

115
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.879
do what I say or else.
Censorship. All those religious nutballs that

116
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.120
want to ban books, I don't
see many secular people out there trying to

117
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:31.559
ban books. Religious institutions suppression.
They're the ones that want to enforce sexuality,

118
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.759
they want to enforce gender expression.
They want to put a limit on

119
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.639
free speech. So if I could
put up bluntly fork the Supreme Court,

120
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:45.080
fork Mitch McConnell for putting this court
together fort Clarence Thomas and his corrupt hypocrisy.

121
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.679
That's what religion does to people.
The ends justify the means. It's

122
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.639
okay to be corrupt if it furthers
the kingdom of some corrupt god, fort

123
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.919
God, and all the religions Phoebe
especially breakdown what actually happened in this case.

124
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.039
So the Supreme Court have said,
effectively, you could say a few

125
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:09.159
words to yourself on some grass whilst
kneeling after you've had your backside handed to

126
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.240
you by a better football team.
Think of how much time has been wasted.

127
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:20.120
You've got death row cases, you've
got constitutional questions. But they've done

128
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.759
is. They have said, yeah, we'll hear the case about the man

129
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.279
kneeling on the grass. I mean, come on, he's kneeling on the

130
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.679
grass. And they said, look, please don't do that, and he's

131
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:30.840
gone. But I want to it's
my religion. They've gone, please do

132
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.000
it in the locker room, Please
don't do it here. Yeah, but

133
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.120
I want to kneel on the grass. I want to kneel on the grass

134
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.120
from shut my eyes and look a
complete prapp total and nut on war on

135
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:43.440
or wanker a tossa you know,
human detritus, absolute brain rot. Sure

136
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.200
there's no altromotive the fifty yard line
in front of everybody, No Altria motive.

137
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.480
There just was the private quiet prayer. I'm sure the real question just

138
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.080
happens to be the fifty yard line
where everybody can see and hear him.

139
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.759
Now, the real question is how
many downs did it take him before he

140
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.799
realized that he was going way up? Did he score his touchdown? Did

141
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.120
he do the conversion? And do
you conversion anybody? But he definitely touched

142
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.639
down in Washington, DC. But
what I would say is that this second,

143
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:11.600
one second, I just wished it. We just had am. But

144
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.320
I'm bumpching just for you right now. But continue. But what I would

145
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:22.879
say is that this is indicative of
the Roberts Court. The Roberts Court takes

146
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:28.919
up tripe. Genuine tripe is fed
to the Roberts Court and it comes out

147
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.840
in rubbish like Burbevy, hobby Lobby, Masterpiece cake shop, three oh three,

148
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.480
creative. It's Varnum, which was
a case about a guy who was

149
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:43.000
suing for a dollar a dollar.
He said, I want nominal damages because

150
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:50.360
they said I couldn't evangelize the people
on university grounds. What planet is the

151
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:56.720
Roberts Court living on? What absolute
nonsense? I mean? John Roberts since

152
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.799
two thousand and ten, has shown
that he will go down in history as

153
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:07.759
the worst Supreme Court justice America has
ever had Roger B. Tawney. You're

154
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.759
off the hook, Jimmy. Are
you putting Roger B. Tawney back on

155
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.919
the hook or replacing him with John
Rogers? I replaced him. I replaced

156
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.679
him with Chief Justice Roberts a long
time ago because he couldn't even get the

157
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.519
oath right when he signed in or
swore in Barack Obama. I mean,

158
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.000
they had to redo our presidential oath
behind closed doors. So that was a

159
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.200
that was a no go for me. That was a no go. You're

160
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.120
a chief justice, you need to
know what the constitution says that you're required

161
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.480
to do. You say that,
though, but thinking of big, big

162
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.399
moments in American history. They got
the name of O. J. Simpson

163
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.200
wrong when they were reading out the
verdicts. They said that they got his

164
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.960
name wrong to stop, so they
had to do it again. Enthal James

165
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:54.840
is tricky. They put that on
anyone. Uh, you know, I

166
00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:01.600
think I think the Gorsage quote about
mutual respect and tolerance is like a really

167
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.519
important point and I'm glad that everybody
picked up on that because uh, and

168
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.279
and forgive me for kind of repeating
what Aaron said, but I have to

169
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.320
I have to concur what about the
mutual respect that the people who are not

170
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.799
getting uh these things at the hand
of the of any church of any religion,

171
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.799
right, They're they're using this idea
of mutual respect to prop up their

172
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:28.720
own interests and then oppress people in
the same token. So that just that

173
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.480
kind of echoes with what Coach Kennedy
said, no Americans should be forced to

174
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:35.759
choose between their faith and the job
they love. Well, it looks like

175
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.159
he chose his faith over the job
he loves. But what about the Americans

176
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:45.039
that have no choice in the matter
and are being forced to subject their children

177
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:50.080
and have to sit through this constitutional
violation perpetuated by the Supreme Court. Uh,

178
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.480
not only in the case you know, or in the case of the

179
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.679
prayer at the in the middle of
the field preceding the court verdict, but

180
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.320
also all the cases that come after. I mean, who's really being forced

181
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.720
into anything? Is it? Is
it the religious people who always cry victimization

182
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.600
or is the rest of us,
uh secular nuts who just want to enjoy

183
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:15.240
ourselves without being without being force fed
religion. So having said that, I

184
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.399
just want to say, I think
there's also some some truth to the fact

185
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.000
that this guy, after eight years, returned to a community that's probably sick

186
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.080
of him. I mean, he
was there probably for one week and decided,

187
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.399
you know what, I'm just not
in anymore. I mean people probably

188
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.679
shake their heads and roll their eyes
when this guy comes because they just want

189
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.840
to watch their kids play football,
not be on Fox News. While the

190
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.120
Supreme Court case, you know,
kind of covers the events for the day.

191
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.879
And I will say, lastly,
you know, while it's easy to

192
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.840
knock the overt offenses that we know
that the Supreme Court is taking, and

193
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:54.399
the overt offenses that we know religious
people are comfortable with against the rest of

194
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.559
us, I do want to highlight
that I hope Coach Kennedy's family member is

195
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.600
okay. I mean that I'm not
a complete, complete monster. I don't

196
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.200
want to see anybody in pain or
suffering. So if he really did have

197
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.799
to step away to take care of
somebody, I just want to, you

198
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.840
know, offer condolences and say,
hope it works out. Cynthia, what

199
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.240
do you think, Well, you
know, I have I have things to

200
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.879
think about. I did want to
just mention that, you know, one

201
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:26.919
of the things that I really believe
that mister Kennedy is positioning himself, especially

202
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.879
since he felt that he could do
better work outside of the school that he

203
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:39.440
was employed. And and also you
know, he did say that he does

204
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:45.720
plan to help people understand and embrace
the historical ruling at the heart of this

205
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.840
case. And he and with that, I was thinking, since you were

206
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.759
asking what, I thought that he
was most likely positioning himself to be another

207
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:00.600
face for like maybe like the Christian
nationalism and possibly to be even used by

208
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:06.799
organizations like the National Association of Christian
Alimmakers that will most likely try to capitalize

209
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:11.039
on this case and do more legislation
that blows the lines between religion and government.

210
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.759
But that was my particular thought.
But I believe the Phoebe you did

211
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:22.720
have a smidge to So whilst we
may all be going out of here wanting

212
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.639
to, you know, scream and
stuff, don't don't everybody, don't.

213
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:32.200
Go instead and read the case of
Satanic Temple the Sauce And Valley School District,

214
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.440
because that was a case of religious
freedom that I can get behind.

215
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.720
That was a case where saus And
Valley School District said no to the Satanic

216
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.639
temple. The Satanic Temple. You
may think a lot of things about the

217
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:48.399
Satanic Temple, but they are not
a genuinely religious with a capital R group.

218
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.000
There are a small R religious group
in the same way, for tax

219
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.919
purposes a church is, and a
mosque is also for tax purposes, a

220
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:03.559
small see church. So this group
of effect actively atheists calling themselves the Satanic

221
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:07.640
Temple try to get a room on
school premises, just like the Christian group

222
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.480
did, just like the Jewish group
did, et cetera. And they were

223
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:15.039
told to and they went to court, and the court told school district you

224
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.759
telling them to fuck off. We're
telling you to fuck off because you were

225
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:23.440
wrong. They have just as much
right as atheists as those who have theism

226
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:30.920
to have school premises accessibility. It's
good for the goose, it's good for

227
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.319
the gander. Now get me out
of here. I'm an atheist. The

228
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:40.279
Yeah. The absolute corruption on display
by this by the Supreme Court has started

229
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:45.559
with McConnell not seeding one of President
Obama's nominations, not even having a hearing

230
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:47.960
on it, and then it goes
on to what we found out from Pro

231
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.680
Publica, the gifts that Clarence Thomas
has received over the years, unapologetic about

232
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.359
it, unapologetic, and then to
the to the kses, they're they're they're

233
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.680
taking they have that they have no
business taking this case, in particular,

234
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:03.759
Coach Kennedy lives in Florida. When
it get into the Supreme Court, and

235
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.880
they chose to hear it anyway,
even though he assured the court that,

236
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.160
oh, no, I'm ready tomorrow
to take my job back. Yeah,

237
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.799
you're you're across the country. I
don't think so. The Court wanted to

238
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:18.039
take this case, and so they
didn't care what the reasons were. They

239
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.160
let it slide through. And you've
mentioned Phoebe, the three or three creative

240
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:30.519
case where the person that was supposedly
injured injured by this lost by the rules

241
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:34.400
by being forced to create websites for
same sex couples, never even received an

242
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:37.640
actual request from the same sex couple
to make a website, had no standing

243
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:42.440
whatsoever, no grounds to see their
case in the Supreme Court, and the

244
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:47.279
Supreme Court hurt it anyway because they
wanted to, because they wanted to make

245
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:51.319
a statement, they wanted to be
activists, and they wanted to change the

246
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.599
law. And the Supreme Court needs
we need we need it needs to change.

247
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:56.680
I'm not sure what about it needs
to change it. We need more

248
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:02.920
judges, if we need retire term
limits, that's for people smarter than me

249
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.279
and more loyally than me to decide. But something's got to be done about

250
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.119
our Supreme Court, Cynthia, I
agree, something definitely needs to be done

251
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:15.799
about the Supreme Court. I know
that there's actually talks of actually in positioning

252
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.359
the code of ethics for the Supreme
Court. I know that Congress is actually

253
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:26.000
mulling it over, trying to push
something into that in particular aspect. I

254
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:29.559
hope that they do. I you
know, I know that our government is

255
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.599
actually set up with our three branches, our executive branch, our legislative France,

256
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.519
and our judiciary branch in order for
us to provide checks and balances for

257
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.720
one another. But you know,
it seems like that we're having a hard

258
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.880
time these days with the checks balance. And there's a reason why there's a

259
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.119
reason why Christian Nationalists are going up
went after the Supreme Court. It's a

260
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.599
reason that was our target is because
it's the it's the most susceptible to corruption

261
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:57.400
and least least likely to be checked
exactly, especially when you have your judges

262
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:06.000
there for life, but book.
But I'm bum chain exactly. But you

263
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:10.559
know, I just want to leave
our listeners with something going back to the

264
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:15.640
demonstration and mister Kennedy decided to do
and fight for his job back for seven

265
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.319
years. Let's go back to the
not so good book. I've a lot

266
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:26.359
to take our listeners to Matthew six
verse five in the Authorized King Jamee's version,

267
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.960
for you fundies in the audience.
And when thou wast pray, thou

268
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:36.119
shalt not be as the hypocrites are
nay nay, or they love to pray

269
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.519
standing in the synagogues and in the
corners of the street, that they may

270
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.119
be seen of men. Barely,
I say unto you. They have their

271
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:49.640
reward. Verse six says, but
thou, when thou wast pray, enter

272
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:55.680
into thine closet, and when thou
hast shut thy door to keep out the

273
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.759
devil, pray to thy father,
which is in secret, And thy Father,

274
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.759
which seeth in secret, shall reward
the open. And verse seven concludes,

275
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:10.039
But when ye pray, use not
vain repetition as the heathen dona no

276
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.759
no, for they think that they
shall be heard, for they are much

277
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.200
speak, be not therefore like unto
them. For your father AH know it

278
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:25.240
what thinks ye have need of before
you ask, And if you, dear

279
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:29.759
listener, have an ask. For
