00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:11.800
Take my benezy, like, can you just let me in? Mary?
2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.920
Welcome world to Blades listeners to episode seventy five, recorded
3
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:23.519
May fifth, twenty twenty five. So I guess it's tinkle tomorrow.
4
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:25.719
Didn't even think about that till now, to be quite
5
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:31.160
honest and busy all day and the news has been
6
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:35.679
on fire the last few days being Monday. A lot
7
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.159
happened over the weekend and today there was just so
8
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:43.560
much coming out and being released. I am just it
9
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.280
took me a while to say to myself, what do
10
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:53.679
we narrow down to what I focus on? So today
11
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.039
I will be talking about Israel's plans to completely take
12
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:03.640
control of Gaza, and of course the very controversial Shiloh
13
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:10.040
Hendrix receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars after calling a
14
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:16.159
young black child the word which resembles Niger but is
15
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:25.439
definitely pronounced differently. And before we go into that, oh
16
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.439
oh oh, and hold on, I also have to dress.
17
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:33.239
I also have to dress. That Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz.
18
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.959
That's coming too, hold on, that's coming to you. But
19
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.799
before then, before then, while the rest of the world,
20
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:43.879
or most of the world that is Catholic anyway mourns
21
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.280
the loss of their head of the church, the figurehead
22
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.159
of the church, the leader, the Pope. They're trying to
23
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.319
find a new pope, and they're struggling to find a
24
00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:00.159
new candidate. But while the world is both mourning and celebrating,
25
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:07.840
and the mood is very both happy and somber in
26
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.439
light of what may come. And while they celebrate a
27
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.039
passing of the pope, not in a bad way, but
28
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.719
a reflection on the good that he did do, because
29
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.960
he was a very progressive pope, we have to address
30
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.919
the fact that the mood changed. The mood suddenly changed
31
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.360
when Trump threw his hat in the ring to be
32
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:37.759
the head pontiff himself. Yes, Trump wants to be Pope,
33
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:44.520
Yes he does. And more on that. I have a
34
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:48.280
video from ten News first and here's what they have
35
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.159
to say about this situation.
36
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.360
As the Vatican prepares to host the conclave to elect
37
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.879
a new pontiff, Donald Trump has posted an AI generated
38
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.719
image of himself as the Pope on his social media platform,
39
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.000
which the White House then shared on its official x account.
40
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.319
Catholics around the world say it's deeply insulting and makes
41
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:09.960
a mockery of their faith.
42
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.719
In white papal robes seated in an ornate chair. Donald
43
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.240
Trump posted this fake image AI generated. It was then
44
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.759
shared on the official White House account. Earlier this week,
45
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.280
the US president joked he'd like to be the next pope.
46
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.280
I'd like to be pop.
47
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:29.960
That would be my number one joke.
48
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.680
Trump is not Catholic and leaders of the one point
49
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:38.560
four billion strong church aren't amused. The former Italian PM
50
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.199
responded by saying, vigonya, which means shame.
51
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:48.400
Shame, shame, shame, shame on you Trump, Shame on you, Trump,
52
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:55.879
you evil Saitanic person. Now with that being said, does
53
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.599
Trump even really care? No, because what he is doing
54
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.599
is he's just being Trump. He's being the ultimate troll.
55
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.479
The reason he put I can't speak for him, but
56
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:10.879
I'm just gonna assume. I'm gonna assume here. Okay, I
57
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.680
can't speak for him. But the reason I think he
58
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.240
did this, the reason I think he did this, I'm
59
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.600
sorry if I'm laughing. I think it's kind of funny.
60
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.839
It's also distasteful by the way. I don't think it's
61
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.560
It was import taste for sure, but still kind of funny.
62
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:28.560
But anyway, the reason I think he did. This is
63
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.519
because the Catholic Church has had a hard time finding
64
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.279
a candidate to step up. There's a lot of controversy
65
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.240
regarding that, and so he decided, Hey, I'm up for
66
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:42.800
the job, and he released the picture. Oh I'm sorry,
67
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.639
the picture of himself as the Pope sitting on the
68
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:51.720
papal throne. And if you haven't seen it, just type
69
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.879
in Donald Trump Pope image and it will pop right up.
70
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:02.240
And so therefore I say, you evil Trump, begone with you, Satan,
71
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:13.600
begone with you Trump. Okay, I'm sorry. Look, I apologize
72
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.319
to all my Catholic listeners, but I will be very honest.
73
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.680
I'm not Catholic. And while people are up in arms
74
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.639
about this, they're crying from the rooftops. Let's just be honest.
75
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.000
Most of the people that are complaining about this are
76
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.399
basically the only Catholic on Sunday. They're not even one
77
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.560
hundred percent Catholic. Throughout the rest of the week. It's
78
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:34.639
like Sunday, Oh wait, time to go to church, confess
79
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.279
my sins. I'm good again. I'm clean. I'll go back
80
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.839
out and be an assholes. That's the truth. But since
81
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.680
we're trying to compare the misdeeds of Trump. How wrong
82
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:50.000
this was. Let's not dismiss the hypocrisy of the Catholic
83
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.160
Church themselves, because the Catholic Church is not infallible. You see,
84
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.639
the Catholic Church is a church, a church founded by people,
85
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:03.439
people who are not God. They're not holy. Let's just
86
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.240
be honest. You can can, you can commit yourself to
87
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:12.759
a holy type life and lifestyle, but you're still a man,
88
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.279
a woman, or for the sake of just the general
89
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.759
population on this earth that we call people, I will
90
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:25.839
just say, you're still a man. So with that being said,
91
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.279
this report in uh just came out this here actually
92
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:34.439
April twenty twenty five from Fortune headline six billion dollar
93
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:40.160
Vatican Bank was a set by scandals, disastrous investments and
94
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.199
ties to hold onto this the mafia.
95
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:44.839
HM.
96
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:51.879
Very holy, very holy. Indeed, that's right. That Look, we
97
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.279
will never understand the ways of God, apparently, and no
98
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.120
knock on God. By the way, just the Catholic Church
99
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.399
assumes to be God on earth, right, Yeah, which in
100
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.800
and of itself is a contradiction which no one comes
101
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:07.600
to the Father except through me. That's what Jesus said.
102
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.000
I believe in about anyway.
103
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:09.199
So.
104
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.839
Interesting, Now, to the credit of the Catholic Church, Hope Francis,
105
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.920
the former Pope, the Pope that literally just recently died,
106
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.000
the Pope I mentioned in the beginning. Although I didn't
107
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.160
name him, I apologize for that. Hope Francis did see
108
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.439
the issue and wanted to fix it. So maybe the
109
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:31.399
Catholic Church was trying to turn a corner. But let's
110
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.439
also talk about, well, how the Catholic Church throughout history
111
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.079
would turn a blind eye to certain relationships if it
112
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.199
benefited the Catholic Church, namely those of dictators such as Oh,
113
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:47.199
I don't know, Mussolini. The Lateran Treaty of nineteen twenty
114
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.040
nine between Italy and the Vatican was seen by many
115
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:56.360
as a tacit endorsement of Mussolini's regime. All right, well
116
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.959
there's that. How about Highest At Twelfth and the Holocaust.
117
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.120
While Pious of twelve silence during the Holocaust has been criticized,
118
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:06.759
he also privately helped Jews escape persecution. Well there you go,
119
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.560
including a famous rescue operation of one thousand Jewish children
120
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:15.160
according to the Washington Post. So there's that hypocritic contradiction.
121
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.360
Doing the right thing, doing the right thing saving the Jews,
122
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:22.439
but at the same time being silent and not drawing
123
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.560
a line in the sand when it came to the Holocaust. So,
124
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.560
you know, contradictory there, but ended up doing the right thing. Okay.
125
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.320
How about Franco and Spain. The Vatican also maintained a
126
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:39.440
degree of support for Francisco Franco's regime in Spain despite
127
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.759
his authoritarian rule, particularly after the Spanish Civil War. Wow,
128
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:49.399
got it? Okay? And then there was also Paul the
129
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:56.039
Six who supported a Chilean dictator, Augusto Pinoche. So it's
130
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.320
just saying that the Catholic Church, the Holy Catholic Church,
131
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:04.200
which lives by the foundations and teachings of the Bible,
132
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.559
well including the books that they threw in themselves as well.
133
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:08.960
I'm not gonna let that one slide, but you know,
134
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.759
there's definitely a big difference between the Catholic Bible and
135
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.440
the other Bibles that are out there in print. But regardless,
136
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.639
and if I'm losing listeners because you don't like what
137
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.080
I'm saying about the Catholic Church, well then so be it. Whatever.
138
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:26.399
Now with that being said, the most controversial recently recent
139
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:35.919
times was Pope Francis stance on LGBTQ inclusion in the church,
140
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.000
but his stance was very progressive, extremely progressive, and many
141
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.519
argued that the church was going in the wrong direction.
142
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:49.200
So as recently, as of well even today, because it's
143
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:53.559
still not settled, the church itself has been losing followers
144
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.919
for its progressive stances as of late. Here's Pope Francis
145
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.919
on sixty minutes, who fires a stance on blessing same
146
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:02.879
sex couples.
147
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.519
Last year you decided to allow Catholic priests to bless
148
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:08.960
same sex couples.
149
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:10.600
That's a big change.
150
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:16.519
Why what I allowed was not to bless the union.
151
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.159
That cannot be done because that is not the sacrament.
152
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.879
I cannot. The Lord made it that way. But to
153
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:33.360
bless each person, Yes, the blessing is for everyone, for
154
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:41.120
everyone's bless A homosexual type of union, however, goes against
155
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:45.919
the given right, against the law of the Church. But
156
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:51.440
to bless each person, why not? The blessing is for all?
157
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.679
Now that sounds I mean, does that sound so bad
158
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:01.039
to any human being living today? We're what's the controversy. Well,
159
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:08.879
the controversy is that being a homosexual, according to strict
160
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:12.879
Catholic rule, and according to the Bible, was looked down on.
161
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.919
They shouldn't be able to take or receive the blessing.
162
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:24.320
And yet here Pope Francis is saying, well, look the
163
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.559
blessings for everyone. But he did draw a line like
164
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:32.519
he said, I can't bless a same sex marriage that
165
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.120
I won't allow. I can't do it. And I think
166
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.000
the only reason he said is because deep inside the
167
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.440
Catholic Church, behind the walls of the Catholic Church in
168
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.399
the Vatican, they definitely would not allow him to go
169
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:49.519
that far. But Hope Francis is obviously a very modern
170
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.080
progressive pope. God rests his soul, as they say, as
171
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.240
he has. As I said previously, he just passed. But
172
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:04.480
what he did say, while acceptable, while progressive, does go
173
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:08.279
against a few verses in the Bible. There's about top
174
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:12.159
ten Bible verses about homosexuality. I found this on Bible
175
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:16.320
study tools and it gives you the chapter verse, the book,
176
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.639
chapter and verse, so you can cross reference in yourself.
177
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:22.000
Let's just read a few of these, because the previous
178
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.759
Pope Francis is in direct contradiction to what would be
179
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.840
considered the word of God or the teachings thereof Leviticus
180
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.840
chapter eighteen, verse twenty two. You shall not lie with
181
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.440
a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.
182
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.080
Leviticus chapter twenty, verse thirteen. If a man lies with
183
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.519
a male as with a woman, both of them have
184
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.840
committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death.
185
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:58.320
Their blood is upon them. All right? How about Jude
186
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:02.000
chapter one, verse seven, us as Sodom and Gomorrah and
187
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:06.279
the surrounding cities which likewise indulge in sexual immorality and
188
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:11.840
pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a
189
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:21.320
punishment of eternal fire. Wow. Okay, how about we go
190
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.720
down to Corinthians over here Corinthians chapter six, verses nine
191
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:29.240
through ten. Or do you not know that the unrighteous
192
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.519
will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.
193
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:38.080
Neither the sexual immoral, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor men
194
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:43.440
who practice almost sexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards,
195
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:51.480
nor revelers nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God. Interesting,
196
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:57.039
So let's all cry about Trump just being a troll,
197
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:03.039
by the way, but let's go ahead and ignore the
198
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:10.879
controversial hypocrisy of the actual Catholic Church. Right now again,
199
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:14.120
I'm gonna say what Pope Francis said in his stance
200
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:19.799
to me was the correct stance. But according to the
201
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:24.399
hard and strict rule of the Catholic Church, according to
202
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:31.200
the teachings in the Bible, they are wrong. And by
203
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.120
the way, we didn't even point out all the cases
204
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:42.360
in which priests have molested children and the Church happily
205
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:50.000
covered it up and paid for their defense. So again, Trump,
206
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.879
the troll, the satanic Trump himself has again risen and
207
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:02.960
has once again angered the earth and has upset the
208
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:13.399
representation of God on this globe, the Catholic Church themselves. Now,
209
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:17.080
while we're talking about the Shenanigans of Trump, let's go
210
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:22.840
on to other breaking news regarding Trump's decisions. This just
211
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:27.919
in breaking news from CBS News twenty four to seven.
212
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.919
President Trump said he is directing his administration to reopen
213
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:36.639
Alcatraz Prison to hold America's most violent criminals. The former
214
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.240
prison was known for holding some of the most notorious
215
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.440
felons in the country. Like al Capone, it opened in
216
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.519
the nineteen thirties and then closed its doors in nineteen
217
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:50.720
sixty three for several reasons, including operational costs. The President
218
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.840
made that announcement on social media, saying, in part, when
219
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.399
we were a more serious nation in times past, we
220
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.960
did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals
221
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.960
and keep them far away from anyone they could harm.
222
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.720
That's the way it's supposed to be. He doubled down
223
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.679
on that stands while talking to reporters outside the White House.
224
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:09.440
Take a listen to this.
225
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:13.399
Here's an idea I've had, and I guess because the judges,
226
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.240
so many of these radicalized judges, they want to have
227
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.000
trials for every single big of it, every single person
228
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.240
that's in our country illegally they came in illegally. That
229
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:27.480
would mean millions of trials. And it's just so ridiculous
230
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:33.840
what's happening. And it's long been a symbol Alcatrazo whatever
231
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.600
it is. I mean, a fan symbol, but it's a
232
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.200
symbol as law and order, and you know, it's got
233
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.840
quite a history. Franctically, though, I think we're going to
234
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:45.759
do that, and we're looking at it right now.
235
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:53.960
Okay, well, let me just say this, one of the
236
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:59.080
most feared prisons on earth for its time. Still when
237
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:03.240
you say the name Alcatraz, people automatically know what you mean.
238
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:10.559
I don't disagree with reopening Alcatraz and using it for
239
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:15.160
the sole purpose of being, I guess a maximum prison
