Speaker 1: And now it's time for bas Sweet Day Up Day,
Speaker 1: featuring veteran news anchor kt fon tweets. Here are the
Speaker 1: important stories he's currently tracking from around the world. There
Speaker 1: is a bill on Capitol Hill and it's gonna go
Speaker 1: back to the Senate here and it might get passed.
Speaker 1: All right, here's the story. There was a bill requiring
Speaker 1: classroom displays of the Ten Commandment, so basically tin commandments
Speaker 1: have to be posted in the classroom I.
Speaker 2: Think they have that in Louisiana already.
Speaker 1: So it was the House passed it, it was amended yesterday,
Speaker 1: and it's going back to the Senate and then Governor
Speaker 1: Abbott will probably sign this and it'll probably pass. I
Speaker 1: do think we talked about this earlier, about the teacher thing.
Speaker 1: I think the majority of people out there don't really care, Okay.
Speaker 1: I think you have a segment of people who really
Speaker 1: think this should happen. I think you have a probably
Speaker 1: a smaller segment of people who think it really shouldn't happen.
Speaker 1: And you got a lot of people the man whose
Speaker 1: life doesn't change either way, right, they don't make any
Speaker 1: more money, like the Commandments are in the classroom or not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the first thing I wanted to do before I play.
Speaker 1: You guys, Madio's ask you, do you guys know the
Speaker 1: Ten Commandments?
Speaker 2: Do you know him? Christina love my neighbor? What's the
Speaker 2: difference in that in the Bill of Rights?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not one of the What didn't Jesus
Speaker 1: give us the right to bear arms? That's it. The
Speaker 1: commandments and amendments are big words for kids too.
Speaker 3: Have you guys ever seen or heard of the original
Speaker 3: Melbrooks movie The History of the World, Part one? So
Speaker 3: he's got a scene where he's it's Moses with the
Speaker 3: Ten Commandments, right, yeah, I don't even remember my Bible stories.
Speaker 2: And he's holding three tablets and he goes, I.
Speaker 3: Give to the fifteen Commandments, and then one of the
Speaker 3: tablets drops and breaks and he goes ten ten Commandments.
Speaker 1: That's so good.
Speaker 2: That's pretty damn great.
Speaker 1: Okay, take advantage, ill spin the match. You Okay, you're
Speaker 1: not going to bang your neighbor's wife. You shall have
Speaker 1: no other gods before me yep, unless he's a political leader.
Speaker 1: You shall make no idols.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: You shall not take the name of the Lord of
Speaker 1: God in vain, I say g D.
Speaker 2: Probably twenty five times ago.
Speaker 1: Dang it, I didn't know that one keep the Sabbath
Speaker 1: day holy.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Honor your mother and your father. That's good. You shall
Speaker 1: not murder, Yeah, you shall not committed ultery, you shall
Speaker 1: not steal, you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor,
Speaker 1: and you shall not come it.
Speaker 2: Well, that's not fine.
Speaker 3: I don't wipe your feet. Always wipe your feet before
Speaker 3: you walk in. If your feet are muddy, wipe them
Speaker 3: at the front door. That's like, that's one of them.
Speaker 1: So I want to be clear here. The guy I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play audio from you is again named James tall Rico.
Speaker 1: He's a representative of from Austin. He is a Democrat, Okay,
Speaker 1: he is against this, right, but he is also a Christian, okay,
Speaker 1: all right. And I do think there's something a little
Speaker 1: slimy about him. I do feel like there's he's like
Speaker 1: a lot of TikTok followers, Okay, but he's absolutely dunking
Speaker 1: on people. But as they were trying to pass this
Speaker 1: across over the weekend, which is violating one of the commandments, okay.
Speaker 4: The fourth commandment, part of keeping the Sabbath holy, is
Speaker 4: not working on the Sabbath. Yeah, what day is the
Speaker 4: Jewish Sabbath?
Speaker 1: It is on Saturday.
Speaker 4: And what day is it today?
Speaker 1: It is Saturday.
Speaker 4: Here we are the Christian Sabbath.
Speaker 1: Is what day Sunday?
Speaker 5: In honor of the day that Jesus rose from the dead.
Speaker 4: And we're scheduled to give this bill a final vote
Speaker 4: on what day of the week.
Speaker 5: It's ironic, isn't it.
Speaker 4: Would you be willing to postpone your bills so that
Speaker 4: we're not breaking the Ten Commandments by working on the
Speaker 4: Jewish or Christian Sabbath. I love that you said that,
Speaker 4: because you're saying that you'd rather tell people to follow
Speaker 4: the Ten Commandments than follow it yourself.
Speaker 5: I would rather have had this bill passed the other
Speaker 5: day when it was time.
Speaker 4: We as a legislature are about to force every teacher
Speaker 4: in the state to post the Ten Commandments in their
Speaker 4: classrooms if they are of the Texas legislature, follow the
Speaker 4: Ten Commandments.
Speaker 5: So again, this bill is about honoring our historical, educational,
Speaker 5: and judicial heritage.
Speaker 4: The ninth commandment is thou shalt not bear false witness?
Speaker 4: Are you aware of any legislators who have lied about anything?
Speaker 5: That is? You know you know there there might be
Speaker 5: one coming up in a minute.
Speaker 1: If you keep talking, we'll see.
Speaker 4: The seventh commandment is thou shalt not commit adultery?
Speaker 1: Yes, do you think that here? That's here's some guy
Speaker 1: yelled Ken Paxton. He yells at you.
Speaker 4: Do you think that members of.
Speaker 2: The legislature Jeff Passing the baseball writer, do.
Speaker 4: You think that members of the legislature should focus more
Speaker 4: on trying to follow the ten commandments rather than telling
Speaker 4: others to follow them? The post?
Speaker 5: I am, I am? You know it is.
Speaker 3: Did you hear that person to the side what their
Speaker 3: excuse was? Maybe they didn't have them posted.
Speaker 1: Okay, look.
Speaker 2: They're all the worse. This is funny.
Speaker 1: This is funny. And this guy I've seen this guy
Speaker 1: do stuff like this before though, I mean he's actual,
Speaker 1: you know, he's elected official. It's not like he's some
Speaker 1: guy going to city council meetings getting followers. But it
Speaker 1: always it's got a little smart ass to it, but
Speaker 1: it is. It's a clear dunk right here. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: we can maybe not do this on Sunday. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta be that smart.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: You mentioned like a lot of people are just kind
Speaker 3: of like whatever, and For the most part, I'm that,
Speaker 3: but I don't like. I don't I feel that a
Speaker 3: separation of church and state is good, and I feel
Speaker 3: like public schools are funded by the state, and so
Speaker 3: if we're going to post the Ten Commandments, then we should.
Speaker 3: If someone that was of a Muslim faith wanted to
Speaker 3: post something from the Koran, which I don't know anything,
Speaker 3: I'm not knowledgeable on it, but then I think it
Speaker 3: should be open for everyone to have their religions posted
Speaker 3: up there. If we're going to go down the road,
Speaker 3: like there's a separation in our country because of the
Speaker 3: Forefathers what they were running from. Over in Europe, there's
Speaker 3: historical precedent for this. We don't want government to have
Speaker 3: religion in it because then it can be utilized the
Speaker 3: way the Vatican does for example. There's a historical reason
Speaker 3: we don't do this, and now we're going against it.
Speaker 3: So I don't like all the Hey, we're a constitutionalists
Speaker 3: and we're patriots, unless we want to bend it for
Speaker 3: our own personal benefit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when the religion is more about power than it
Speaker 1: is loved, then we have a problem. I think.
Speaker 3: You know what would be great is if they offered
Speaker 3: like fifteen minutes every school day for no matter what
Speaker 3: religion you practice, to have time to practice that religion.
Speaker 3: And maybe I feel this way because when I was
Speaker 3: a kid, they built a mosque right by our elementary school.
Speaker 3: And this is late seventies and there's a lot of
Speaker 3: Middle East paranoia.
Speaker 2: They came and they taught our school.
Speaker 3: About Islam so that we wouldn't be afraid of the
Speaker 3: mosque around the corner, and it had an impact, Like
Speaker 3: I looked at it differently growing up. So I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: what Texas is just it's just a bunch of people
Speaker 3: grandstanding and then going against what they say.
Speaker 2: They stand for. It's all politicians. Thank you, KT. That
Speaker 2: was fantastic work by you.
Speaker 3: Anything fantastic coming up next? What a spectacular weekend we had.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, let's talk about BFD, let's talk about Choctaw.
Speaker 3: We'll do it all next in the big finish.
