So I want to start today by talking a little bit. There's a lot of things in the stack, A lot of things in the stack. One of the things I want to make sure that we talk about is this situation with Rona McDaniel and NBC

MSNBC, the meltdown that ensued when she was brought on board. The Left as usual, the radical Left, acting as though they are petulant little children just taking their ball and going home. I mean, it's pathetic stuff, it really is. But I want to get into that today. But before we do that, my friends, are you looking for the ultimate natural health

They went out and they hired Roni McDaniel. Roni McDaniel is, of course, the former head of the RNC, the Republican Party. And you know I'm no fan of Rona McDaniel. I've said on here, and you know this if you've listened to this program for any length of time, and you also know you also know that it's hard enough to call myself a

Republican in many instances today. In fact, I don't really do that. I typically vote Republican. It's not I voted let's see, I think I voted libertarian. I don't know if I've ever voted on anything locally that was Democrat. It's a little bit different here in my area. I still have no idea how a how a sane person can identify with the Democrat Party platform

today. But you know, every once in a while there's a candidate, at least for local office that one might consider but when you again, when you factor that in it, it's tough given how insane the Democrat Party has become. But most of the time, almost almost always, I vote for Republicans, but I don't consider myself a Republican. And there's several reasons for that, several reasons for that. But at the end end of the day, before before we cast our balance, I mean, we're stuck with the

choices that we have. We're stuck with the choices that we have. I think one of the things we talk about on here is the importance of actually doing the work to change who those choices are. To have a better impact on who those choices are. That work needs to be done outside of election time, and a lot of people don't pay attention until election time, and then they look up and they think, oh, these are my choices. I've got in some cases a moderate Republican and some leftist, where I've got

some weak need Republican and some extreme radical leftists to choose from. I don't have anyone that I can really get behind. And that's what the Republican Party has become. Especially dare I say I'm in the state of Indiana, especially in this particular. Well, I shouldn't say especially, it depends on the

state you're in, and some are much worse than even I am. But Indiana is a relatively red state, unless, of course, you're running for mayor of Indianapolis or some you know, we've got blue cities, as most states do, but it's overall relatively red state. Republican governor, Republican, Republican state office holders, Republican House and Senate by large margins typically, But

there's a lot of moderates running around in this state. In fact, our US senator, one of our US senators one is Mike Braun who's coming, who's not running for reelection, and he's not running for reelection because because he's well there might be lots of reasons for that, but he's running for governor in Indiana. And I like Mike Broun. We've had him on this program in the past. We don't do a lot of interviews, but we've had

him on. In fact, if I'm being candid, one of the more I might even say the most genuinely, the most genuine sounding politician that I think that I've spoken with on this program. I don't want to say that definitively, but it's he's definitely in the top couple, the top top of the list, maybe the very top anyway. So, but the Republican Party has a lot of problems with it. One of the problems is it's it's pretty it's pretty weak. It often capitulates. They didn't do very well in

the twenty twenty two midterms. I mean, they seem to find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in many instances, and they're just they're just weak. They don't stand on conservative principles. Oftentimes they're not conservative

to begin with. Many of these folks hold their noses when dealing with people who are conservative, like me, like many of you, like probably the vast majority of you, and they just they're embarrassed, I think a lot of times because conservative policies typically say the government, well I would almost say always, but almost always say the government needs to stay out of it. You know, the government has a defined role and the people need to be

managing most of these things. We don't need to have government in control of X, Y or z. And when that happens, it just for someone who is is a lifetime politician, as people in the Republican Party are as well. Oh. One of our senators is Mike Brown. The other is Todd Young, who is an example to me of the poster child of what a moderate, feckless senator looks like, the type of senator that Republicans need to get together and find a more conservative replacement for. And I hope that

happens here in the state of Indiana and elsewhere around the country. Although recent studies have shown that the US Senate is getting a little bit more the Republicans in the Senate are getting marginally more conservative. I'm not saying dramatically, but it's definitely there are some that have replaced more moderate senators. I hope that helpens in mass anyway. But the Republican Party is a disaster in a lot

of ways, and it's just not very inspiring. I'm not a huge fan of the two party system to begin with, and so here we are, but Ron and McDaniel. On top of that, she just wasn't a very good leader. A lot of things. There could have been things, a lot of things that went better during her her term as the RNC chair.

So she's not my favorite. I don't have a lot in common. She's a moderate, I think at best, and just not inspiring or very effective at moving the needle for the party in presidential politics, in just electoral politics in general. So but that aside, that aside, she's she's stepping down from her role as the chair. She was offered a position at MSNBC and NBC. Now this is rare, This is rare that this happens. But if it does happen, these are the types of people that happens to MSNBC

and NBC. They stack their roster of political experts and pundits full of leftists, sometimes radical leftists, at least liberals, and then they may occasionally they may occasionally bring someone in. And this isn't just NBC, by the way,

but it is NBC that's specifically the network that hired her. So, but this is what they do. And then the goal, of course is to subtly convince people who watch this crap that the people on the stage are speaking on behalf of conservatives and that there's a voice up there for conservatives, and it's just a subtle way to move the needle in the direction of the left. For of course, a lot of times they'll put eight people on the panel. Five of them will be a radical leftist, one of them

will be the so called moderate, the journalist who's also a leftist. There might be a liberal, maybe a moderate, and then some weak need Republican that's typically I mean, think Michael Steele. He's typically the Republican voice on some of these panels, and he's a moderate at best. Think Chris Christi. He's often the voice of the Republican Party, that's so called conservative movement, and he's at best a moderate. You may not have known, and

he ran for president. He thought he could beat Trump and he didn't even I don't know that he registered over a percent ever. But anyway, so this is the I'm no fan. I'm no fans. She's created a lot of issues, problems, I mean, people like this I think are part of the problem, a big part of the problem from Republicans having success through

articulating the truths of constitutional conservatism. So that being said, that being said, she certainly has not disqualified herself from being a pundit or an expert on NBC. But when the left got word that MSNBC and NBC had hired Ron McDaniel, they lost their collective minds. I mean the journalists, so called journalists on these platforms, Chuck Todd. There were others too, but he's

he's one that kind of led the charge. They were, I mean, they were critical, openly critical of management of the executives that hired Ron McDaniel, and they went into pout mode. They basically went into pouting mode. And this is what happens from the left. This is one of the strategies. I don't know why it works so much, to be quite honest, because it's petulant, it's childish, it's infantile, actually, but this is what they do. It's like when Trump wins the presidency, they scream at

the universe. They believe, they really believe that this is a form of virtue signaling. The more upset you are by someone who is a conservative, someone who's part of the MAGA movement, someone who's a Republican, the more you can scream, the more you can show your absolute disgust for the hire or for that person being associated with your network or whatever, that person being president of your country. The more moral outrage, the more visibly disturbed that

you can act, the better for these jokers and clowns. It's absolutely insane. It's absolutely ridiculous. But yet, my friends, that is where we find ourselves today. So I'm gonna talk a little bit about that here. But before I do that, let me tell you about my pillow dot Com.

Headline here at CNN NBC News ousts Roni McDaniel after network's anchors launch unprecedented on air rebellion. Now is it an interesting? Isn't an interesting? When the left gets into its mind, it's going to make some

sort of a I don't know, well, this says rebellion. But when the left is going to go on to display, put on some public display, put on some political theater for us to observe, it's always talked about in the media as some sort of heroic action. It's much needed. This is the sort of thing that changes culture and moves us forward, my friends. But when Republicans do it, oh, it's something altogether different. Republicans do it. Conservatives do it. They're tearing at the fiber of this country.

They're trying to challenge elections and question the validity of elected officials. We can't have that as a danger to our society, So here we go, CNN writes the following. NBC News on Tuesday ousted former Republican National Committee Chair ron McDaniel, just days after high hearing her as a paid political analyst, sparked in tense backlash from the network's top television anchors over McDaniel's role in subverting the twenty twenty election and attacks on the press. This is a quote from

NBC Universal Newsgroup President Sayzar Kandi says this. This isn't a memo to the staff. There is no doubt that the last several days have been difficult for the newsgroup. After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronald McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor. So she's fired. By the way, there are reports that based upon the one interview she actually had at NBC, she's gonna walk away. She's gonna walk away.

How much did I see that was? That's in the stack of stuff. It's a lot of money. Let me see if I can pull it up here. Really quickly. Yeah, I'm gonna have to give you that in a minute, cause I think it's on another page that I've not got pulled up yet. But it's a lot of money. She's going to walk away with a lot of money for doing virtually nothing, having one interview, but the moral outrage, the virtue signaling has worked. The president of NBC

has fired her. He writes this as well, I want to personally apologize, personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down. While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it. So what are they really pretending they're upset about. Well, of course, what they're really upset about is that anything that remotely comes close to an alternative viewpoint would have a platform on their

network that viewpoint. As I stated at the beginning of this program, and that's why I started it this way, we're not even to the viewpoint that most American conservatives, most conservatives share most of the conservatives have still not even close to that point, but we are remarkably closer to having a perspective that is at least in the ballpark of the viewpoint that many of us share with Roni McDaniel. Then with these other cast of characters and jokers and clowns on

NBC and ms NBC. Remember, they are still in this mode and they're keeping this, they're holding onto this card. They're trying to figure out how to play it. They know they're going to play it, they're trying not to overplay it and all of that. But the card that they're holding is that Trump tried to overthrow the twenty twenty election and Ronal McDaniel was a part

of that. Ronal McDaniel was calling on folks Republicans to voice their concerns about whatever the counts of votes in certain states, whether or not the electors would be accepted, all of that. And you remember this prior to the events later in the day on January sixth, when they were voting to challenge certain states electors, and ronal McDaniel was calling for people to at least consider doing that, and by the way, they should have been doing that in my

opinion. But now since she's involved with that, now she's got the term, she's got the scarlet letter of election denier on her and so letting her on this network would basically say something that we have been feverishly trying to use as content on this program, but also not just current content, content designed to scare people, and content that's designed to impact the twenty twenty four election. We can't have someone who was on that side of the argument as a

paid member of this team. That is going to present massive, massive problems. And so they go into pouting mode. They go into just petulant little child mode to get what they want to show their viewers just how virtuous they are by how strongly they stand against Roni McDaniel, who again probably has as much in common with the liberal as she has in I'm not saying a leftist, but a liberal. She probably has as much in common with the liberal

as she does with a conservative. She's not in the conservative camp, but she's at least closer than these leftists are. But yet they don't even want her on that air. And honestly, because I guess when you would compare and contrast the logic of what she would be saying on that network compared to the other lunatics, it would even be obvious enough to the folks that watch

that crap that they's something to what she's saying. So anyway, may have a little bit more to say about this after the break, but I gotta take a break, my friends. It's time to crush your vice.

Welcome back, my friends. So the number the number that it appears that Rona McDaniel is going to earn for one single interview on NBC is six hundred thousand dollars plus. Not a bad gig for Ronna McDaniel. Six hundred thousand dollars. I mean, this is how the left manages money, my friends, six hundred thousand dollars. Got to get her out of there. Our anchors are in panic mode. They're out there virtue signaling. They're pretending like

this is a danger to our democracy. It's so patently ridiculous and absurd and infantile and embarrassing. But yet again here I am talking about NBC and MSNBC where I mean, that's where Brian Williams was NBC. Remember he told the story of getting shot at on a helicopter and all this. I mean, these folks have no shame. They are there for one reason and one reason alone, and that is to be the pr firm of today's Democrat Party.

They are shills, they are pundits, they are talking heads that are all there, all there with the purpose, sometimes express purpose, but it's at least an understood purpose amongst themselves and from those who follow this stuff closely, that they are there not to give their viewers and listeners and their audience information

to make informed decisions. New New New their intention. Their objective is to help the left get people into office, get people who are willing to push for radical ideas, anti American ideas, and ultimately find a way to remake America in their morally bankrupt, godless, radical leftist worldview. That's their intention, that is why they are there. They cannot be taken seriously, and they shouldn't be taken seriously. What about this though headline here? This is

at the Nationalpulse dot com. This was actually from a couple of weeks ago, but in my research I stumbled upon it. My friends and I thought it would be interesting since we're talking about NBC. NBC's well rationale for getting rid of Ronald McDaniel, excuse make believe nonsense that she was there to undermine American democracy by standing with Trump, by asking elected officials to consider challenging electors and that sort of thing. And of course question the media. You can't

do that as well. I question the media on here every day, and by the way, I think we all should. I'll even take it a step further. I mean, the chances are very good that if I say it on here, you can expect it to be absolutely true. But sometimes I make mistakes. Sometimes I'm just wrong in an assessment. It's very very rare, and I know many of you that's even shocking to hear. But I would say, question me, like, what is so wrong these people?

You know who says, don't question them? That's a tyrant. You know who says, don't question me. It's someone who doesn't want to be held accountable. It's someone who believes that they should have the right, the authority, the power whatever to do what they want and for the rest of us, well, peasants to fall in line and to do what those in power tell us to do. But here is this is a national national pulse. This is Raheem Cassam headline. Here fifty seven percent of Democrats want Congress

to refuse certification if Trump wins. Now, this is a couple of weeks old, but it's relevant to this conversation. So NBC gets rid of Ron McDaniel because of her alleged role and trying to overthrow an election. I can't even believe I'm saying these words. It's about as stupid as the Russian collusion

delusion, although I don't think it's quite that stupid. And that again, in case you have forgotten, which I know you haven't, that was where Hillary Clinton voters were tricked into voting for Donald Trump because of a slick Facebook and Pokemon go ad campaign put together by Vladimir Putin and his cast of social media advertising experts, graphic designers, and copywriters that successfully, apparently, according to the narrative, tricked Hillary voters into voting for Trump in twenty sixteen.

Now, now Ron McDaniel can't have a job because at NBC, because she tried to overthrow the election by talking with Republicans about challenging electors from states that my friends, again, I know many of you know this. Some folks still just don't know this, that they assume that because there were legal challenges to the election, that a court has heard the evidence and said, get real, there's nothing there. What are you talking about. This is just

a silly, made up narrative and nonsense. That's not what happened. There is absolutely things that we should be concerned with. In fact, in fact, I saw I read an article here, I had it in the stack of stuff. I'm going to say it was last week. I think it was last week where the state of Nevada as Trump taught me how to say that correctly. I used to say Nevada, by the way, Obama taught

me how to say Pakistan correctly. Anyway, So Nevada is a state that even though Trump is ahead in many polls there, I mean, there are massive concerns that that state's election results could be fraught with all sorts of problems. But yet we don't want to talk about this. And why don't we want to talk about this? I mean, the obvious reason that we don't

want to talk about this, I mean, you and I do. But the average reason that the this is not in the news and in the narrative is because they don't want to talk about things that benefit the left the Democrat party, or they don't want to talk about things that are harmful. You know, they don't want to have a conversation about something that they're benefiting from and to bring light to it. I mean, that's the obvious answer.

But now we've got according to polling here Rasmussen, fifty seven percent of Democrats want Congress to refuse the certification of Trump wins. So they have a whole campaign that's been built around on the whole narrative over the past few years that has been built upon around this faulty premise and notion that Trump tried to overthrow our election results, just overthrow it. Have Congress refuse to certify Trump,

Have Pence refused to accept the electors? All that stuff. Now we've got fifty seven percent of Democrats who want Congress to refuse Trump's certification even if he wins, and nothing out without any other stipulation here, just if he won, not if he stole votes, not if he rigged election machines or whatever, just by virtue of being the victor. They want fifty seven percent of Democrats want Congress to refuse to certify Trump. Can anyone say election interference?

I mean, it is remarkable. It is remarkable what these folks try to get away with and oftentimes do get away with, because they live in their own little bubble where no one else criticizes them. They're all advancing the ball, or trying to advance the ball in the same general direction. They're not true competitors. They're really all people again trying to move the narrative in the same direction. So Ron McDaniel, that's a mess over there at MSNBC,

NBC. They just don't want any opposition. They don't want anyone who's going to sound even remotely different from anyone else on that panel. They want people to hear one particular narrative and if someone else is going to further, well they interfere with that narrative or question that narrative, they can't have that.

And they also couldn't have her because they've spent so much, They've spent so much political capital on this notion of election deniers, election interference, trying to overthrow the demid inmocracy that we have here in this country, even though it's a constitutional republic. They've put so much into that that they can't have someone on there that has done things that are well that would basically say you've hired someone that was part of the attempt to overthrow the government. I mean,

it's absolutely insane, but there we are. That's the world that we live in. So getting to the end of the segment, here two things I want to do. One next segment, I want to talk with you here we are Resurrection Weekend, Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday, Easter Sunday. I want to talk about that in the next segment, which we will do here

in due course, in just a moment. But before we do that, my friends, did you know that gold has outperformed the S and P five hundred and the Dow since nineteen seventy one when the US took the dollar off of the quote unquote gold standard. Is that a coincidence? Well, the US government allowed people allowed it's crazy to say that, but allowed people to own gold again. When they did that, they reclassified gold as a commodity

rather than a paper currency backstop. In spite of the fact that the US itself holds and hoards the highest amounts of physical gold in its own reserve. All countries, all central banks, all major institutions, and even the IMF, the International Monetary Fund itself, they all own substantial gold holdings. If all these folks that control our fiat paper money system have physical gold, does it make sense for you to have it as well? Well? Check out

Harvard gooldgroup dot com. Use promo code time you'll save two hundred and fifty dollars. You'll get a twohunre fifty dollar credit there Harvard Goold dot com to see if there's something there, something with gold that makes sense to adding to your portfolio. I have to take a break care of my friends. When we get back, I want to talk about Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday.

Back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So I told you here in this final segment, I want to talk a little bit, and we do this around key holidays and significant dates. I'll talk typically about d Day, We'll talk about the fourth of July. We've got we try to carry on the rush Limbaugh tradition at Thanksgiving time, Christmas time, and of course this time of year Easter, as it's commonly referred to Resurrection Sunday. As a Christian, I wouldn't know it, or I would dare

say should know it. That is, this weekend is the day that Jesus, Jesus, Jesus rose from the dead. He was crucified on what's called Good Friday, which to many folks might seem like a misnomer. But it was good because of the ultimate purpose of that day, which was to bridge

the gap back between humanity and our creator God. Now I've seen, in fact, i've seen I don't want to name the church here on this, but I've seen churches out there that have shied away from using certain terms and phrases like the blood of Christ. I forget some of the other phrases that they've straight away from saying they don't want they don't want people who don't believe

this to not feel accepted. Well, my friends, something's wrong with your thinking if that's the way that you look at it, Because the reason it is for everybody is because it is the power of the forgiveness of God, which requires requires the very things that that people are criticizing, that which requires the blood of Christ, which requires Christ to die and to defeat sin and death once for all on the cross at Calvary. That's a phrase at churches.

Some churches have said they don't want to say what's so problematic about that? Just because someone doesn't know what that is doesn't mean that they're not part of the group. It means they just need to under understand. And so good Friday. You know, I'm amazed. A few years ago, I say, a few years ago, time goes fast. This has been many

years ago. My wife and I we were with a group that participated in sator meal, which is the Jewish passover meal, and it was led by a Messianic Jew, someone who is Jewish who believes that Jesus is the Messiah, the Savior of the world, the promised Messiah of the Old Testament, which is of course a point of contention for many other uh many many Jews, because a lot of Jews believe the Messiah was not Jesus, and that they are looking forward to the coming, the first coming of their of their

Messiah. And it's a remarkable thing. If you haven't done it, if you're if you're a Christian, I would strongly encourage you to do this. In fact, I always I'm finding myself the more i've the older I get, and the more I I don't know learn about these things. Why the Christian movement doesn't practice some of these things, not because of legal reasons or anything like that, just because of the significance of it. I mean,

the sator meal is a remarkable thing. You've got to and it's going back to and I don't have time to explain this, but you can go back to the Book of Exodus, the Book of Exodus, which is the second book of the Bible, if you don't know about this, and it's the book where God delivered his people from slavery in Egypt. He led them out to the promised land across the Red Sea, through the desert for forty years. He used a man named Moses. The Ten Commandments, all that stuff's

apart of this story. But before they were released, before they were released by by the Pharaoh in Egypt, by the King of Egypt, they were there was a series of plagues that God unleashed upon the Egyptians, and the last one was called the basically that the plague of death. And in one night, the first born of all families except for those families, those Jewish

families that put the blood of the lamb on their doorpost. The spirit that went through causing the death of the firstborn passed over those homes with the blood that was applied to the doorpost of the house. And so this whole meal celebrates that. And that's where they have three pieces of matza that they put

inside this lab. Well, it's the whole thing is fascinating theme. The same piece of bread, the same matza that during the Last Supper, which is what Jesus was celebrating, was this passover meal, which would have happened, we believe, Thursday night prior to Good Friday in the story in the final week, the passion week leading up to his crucifixion and resurrection. But he would have taken that piece of bread, one of those three, the one in the middle, which again you look at Father, Son and Holy

Spirit. He takes the middle piece of the bread out and he says, this is my body. This is my body which was given for you. You know, do this in remembrance in me. And it's just a remarkable amount of symbolism, a remarkable amount of truth and consistency. And that's what we are celebrating this weekend. And his life was not just he died. The Bible says for all people, for all people, friends, that includes you. I do care. I do care what you believe about other stuff.

These ideas matter, they matter here, They're important. But if I could say to you, there's one thing I want you to know beyond all, even if you disagree with me on everything else, it is that Jesus Christ came to this earth, died on the cross on Good Friday, rose from the dead on resurrection Sunday, and once a relationship with you. So, my friends, I hope you have a happy Easter, happy resurrection Sunday. We will speak soon. SDG
