In this episode of Rush to Reason, host John Rush delves into the intricacies of global politics with a focus on Donald Trump’s forceful address at the United Nations. With guest Jim Paff, the pair dissect the perceived flaws of globalism, the UN’s stance on international agreements, and the impact of strong American leadership. The conversation shifts to a critique of green energy initiatives and the role of NGOs in modern governance, questioning their effectiveness and intent.
SPEAKER 09 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 06 :
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes.
SPEAKER 09 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 06 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did! Get a job, Turk! You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 13 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know, you can’t explain. But you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 06 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush, presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 11 :
All right, we are back. Hour number two, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Jim Paff joining us now, conservative caucus. Jim, welcome. How are you?
SPEAKER 07 :
I’m doing well, John. How are you doing, sir?
SPEAKER 11 :
I’m doing very well. And again, always stuff to talk about. Let’s start with Trump and his U.N. speech.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, tour de force. Now, you know, it was the typical rough edges Donald Trump speech, but it was exactly what the United Nations needs to hear. Yeah, they did. Especially when you’ve got further talk and more aggressive talk about globalism because the UN Secretary General was talking about, you know, updating all these international agreements like Bretton Woods and coming up with a, quote, new financial framework. You know, these guys are out talking all day. This stupid gobbledygook globalism bull crap and Donald Trump’s pressing for a strong America and truly did highlight in wonderful fashion America’s current leadership on the world stage. So I’m very pleased by it. I thought it was awesome.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, I thought he did a great job as well. In fact, I think it was one of those situations whereby, and I’m not a conspiracy theorist at all, Jim, but you’ve got to wonder, okay, why did the escalator not work? Why did the teleprompter not work? And, of course, they’re blaming it on us. And the reality is, yeah, I highly doubt that was on us. I’m sure that had something to do with you guys and kind of a poke in the eye. And I think they were thinking, well, if we cut a teleprompter off, he won’t know what to say. What they didn’t realize is, wait a minute, We’ve got Donald Trump, you know, yeah, he’s got his book in front of him. But the reality is he can kind of go off script now. And man alive, you better watch out because he’s liable to say something you don’t like, which is exactly what he did.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, he did, and the teleprompter did come back on, and they got it timed, and he had a speech right there in front of him. Anyway, by the way, I’m, you know, 85% convinced that it was on purpose. I agree. Because the lady who was kind of secretary of the meeting kind of gave the, we have checked that the teleprompter’s work speech right in the middle of it. I mean, yeah, so it’s all… bullcrap. And of course, that body does not respect either America nor, more importantly, Donald Trump. They’ve never respected America, even though we keep throwing billions of dollars at them. And as Donald Trump rightly pointed out, UN agencies were spending hundreds of millions of dollars to help illegal aliens flood into the United States. I mean, consider that for a second. Why would you even stay engaged with that organization? Well, thank you.
SPEAKER 11 :
You just took the words, literally, Jim, took the words out of my mouth. My next question is, why are we still dinking around with these guys? I mean, at the end of the day, if we go away, they go away. Is that a bad thing?
SPEAKER 07 :
no, it’s not a bad thing at all. I mean, they’re welcome to go find some other city that they want to be in. Listen, there are arguments, and they’re relatively rational for staying in. You kind of keep them in check kind of arguments, and the engagement does help in a way. All of that is really weak. The reality is it is a failed organization that is right now I mean, it’s kind of replacing the WEF again, which kind of replaced it for a while, trying to centralize all these discussions over kooky, weird ways to try to get countries to do things. And in fact, on this international framework thing I referenced earlier that the Secretary General talked about, They want to use the principles of the UN Charter. Well, I don’t know if any American has ever read the UN Charter, but that is a load of crap. Like, there is about 10% of it that if you took it all by itself is just fine and frankly possibly very good. But it is filled with stupid ideas. It’s kind of like we went and rewrote Iraq or wrote a constitution for Iraq that was a disaster. The Bush administration wrote that thing. And the UN Charter was created right after World War II in 1948 when it was created, and it just shows that on the international stage and even some aspects of the United States for decades now has been unaligned with American ideals, the Judeo-Christian foundations of our Constitution. and the basic ethic of the Declaration of Independence, that rights come from God, they don’t come from government, and that we seek God’s help for us to maintain our liberties. And it takes a moral and religious people, as John Adams said, to maintain such a constitution as we have. So we’ve got to reassert those principles here at home. I can give a flip about these other countries that are going to hell in a handbasket and trying to align with them.
SPEAKER 11 :
I think his comments on the literally con job when it comes to green energy, which, by the way, he’s getting criticized from the left, of course. At the end of the day, though, Jim, he is spot on. It is a con job.
SPEAKER 07 :
It is an absolute con job, and it is, from the very beginning, it was a means to extract billions from the West and to move it over to other countries, and in doing so, to move through the hands of NGOs so that a lot of people could become wealthy along the way. Think Solyndra, right? I mean, it’s really a crazy system. And by the way, and I’m having arguments in the background with a fairly well-known progressive Christian guy who thinks that Donald Trump is some sort of absurd person because he’s killing millions of people as USAID funding goes away, which is a lie because you have the same sort of scam going through that. If you hear the letters NGO or the words non-government organization, run away as fast as you can because we should never be giving money to those organizations. It’s a government scam. to make people wealthy who have no other means to make wealth than to be connected to government in some way.
SPEAKER 11 :
Anybody that thinks the way this particular person does, I highly doubt has ever been to any of the third world impoverished nations whereby we send all sorts of aid and actually seen exactly where that aid goes. I mean, I’ve actually been to the Horn of Africa, Jim. I’ve actually watched and seen literally stacks and stacks and stacks of grain being sitting in places where you ask, OK, wait, I’m confused here. Everybody’s not everybody, but, you know, people are starving. And yet all of these grain bags are sitting around. Why are these not being distributed out to individuals? And the answer is, oh, well, because those are confiscated the minute they arrive by all of the gangs and all the different things that are happening in that regard. And the reality is government has no control over that. And the reality is all you’re doing is feeding the black market when you send that aid over. So, again, most of these people, Jim, like your friend, have no clue how that works.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, and just keep in mind that things like waste are never fully tracked in these organizations. They just throw the money out at them, go buy food, go do it. We don’t know how much waste is there. You do rightly point out that that aid is confiscated and used for government purposes as well as, like you mentioned, gangs, particularly in Haiti, and Trump pointed that out in the speech. If you want to know… uh the kind of egregious action that these non-government organizations undertake by the way not absolutely every one of them but a good portion of them are those of them Yeah, they do the same thing that congressmen do when they make insider trading deals as they’re watching legislation move when they have control over it. The kind of wealth that is built – and there are very wealthy people connected to these organizations. The kind of wealth that they have is generated the same way. than members of Congress is. And lo and behold, we keep voting for money there because everybody’s got the same attitude. 6,000 years of recorded history proves the radical corruption of mankind, and government reveals that very well.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, what people don’t realize when it comes to a lot of the NGOs is they really, in a lot of ways, Jim, in probably every way, there’s a few good ones out there, as you just said. But most of the time, these are literal money laundering organizations whereby very wealthy individuals can get huge tax deductions for donating certain things in certain ways while then lining the pockets of other folks they wouldn’t be able to line otherwise because they’d have to put them on payroll and pay overtime. all sorts of other taxes and doing so. So in a lot of ways, Jim, it literally is a money laundering scheme. And I’m saying that sincerely because that’s exactly what happens.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, and it doesn’t just launder money through the programs that they are intended to undertake. The other part of the money laundering is that and this is Barack Obama perfected this and it went on steroids in the Biden administration. That money gets laundered to political activities. That’s government actors. And that is maybe the other, maybe the worst form of that. I mean, it’s one thing, waste and people, you know, taken off the till at the top of the till. That’s bad enough. It’s even worse when you move this into organized political activities. And we saw an evidence of that in the L.A. riots earlier in the year, because those L.A. riots were run by an organization called CHIRLA, which received millions of dollars from from state and federal money pots in California, and even, lo and behold, half a million dollars from the Department of freaking Homeland Security and the Biden administration. So these are all money laundering schemes. I’ve said very clearly we should never give money to any NGO or to any private entity unless, for example, in defense contracts, which are bad enough on their own, but that’s a different issue, defense contracts where we say we’re going to give you money and we actually get a product owned by the government thereafter right these service industries are trying to help democracy uh happen worldwide that’s bull crap and then the last thing i’ll say all this money going into foreign aid particularly to africa goes in to situations that are paused by those local government entities mostly authoritarian sometimes very poor democratic institutions And it lines the pockets of those local politicians who are causing the problem to begin with and should be required to have to suffer the consequences of their bad decisions. That’s basic economics.
SPEAKER 11 :
You’re right, 100%. Jim, how do folks find you?
SPEAKER 07 :
Theconservativecaucus.com. Theconservativecaucus.com.
SPEAKER 11 :
Always a joy, Jim. Appreciate you. Have a good rest of your week. Thanks, John.
SPEAKER 07 :
Talk soon.
SPEAKER 11 :
You bet. Have a great night. Again, Jim Paff. It’s P-F-A-F-F, the conservative caucus. You just heard that a moment ago. Up next, Golden Eagle Financial, Al Smith, whereby if you need help with your planning for retirement, which most people do, by the way, talk to Al Smith today. He’s got a great interview coming up. Stay tuned. We’ll be back right after that. And you can find Al, by the way, just go to klzradio.com.
SPEAKER 15 :
TJ here with KLZ and Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial. And Al, I have a question for you. I’ve been putting money away for a while in a savings account or maybe a couple of investment accounts, but what am I doing wrong and what can you do better than that?
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, I think a savings account is important because all the financial gurus, including myself, agree you should have three to six months savings that you have ready liquid access to. But retirement planning is a bit more long-term and And it’s a bit more strategic. We want to take a look at the sum of money you’ll need way into the future. And we want to look at how that money can last by providing you income for as long as you live.
SPEAKER 15 :
What kind of planning or strategy do you provide for folks with that that have a big savings but haven’t made that next step?
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, that’s a good question. If someone has a large amount in savings, one of the things I do is we have a conversation about their risk tolerance. Nobody’s comfortable losing money, but having money in the market over a long period of time is a mechanism to accumulate wealth. And so we talk about the different levels of risk and the different products that are available. And we don’t put everybody into one box, but I have an enormous assortment of financial products. And it’s not that there’s good ones or bad ones. It’s there are some that are more appropriate for some people, but not for others.
SPEAKER 15 :
And that sounds excellent. How can folks get in touch with you for that meeting?
SPEAKER 14 :
You can reach me at 303-744-1128. And if I’m not there, it goes to voicemail, but I return my voicemails promptly. And we could have a conversation in the office. If you live a considerable distance away, we can have a long phone conversation or a Zoom call, whichever you would prefer.
SPEAKER 15 :
And as always, you can find him at klzradio.com slash money. Al, thanks so much for joining us today.
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, thank you, TJ. Thanks for the conversation.
SPEAKER 15 :
You bet.
SPEAKER 12 :
Putting reason into your afternoon drive. This is John Rush.
SPEAKER 11 :
All right. We’re back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Okay, Jimmy Kimmel. I’m not going to spend a lot of time here because, you know, it is what it is. And I even talked about this on the roundtable when we recorded this morning that I firmly feel and said this, I believe, either yesterday or Monday, that this is a decision financially made by Disney and probably the bean counters to bring him back. His contract is up at the end of the year. I highly doubt that his contract gets renewed. And if it does, I guarantee you there’ll be a lot of things in it that aren’t in there right now. And then on top of that, I think Disney knew that, wait a minute, if we go down this other path of just keeping him off, we’re liable to have probably not one lawsuit, but maybe multiple lawsuits because of everybody that would be affected by this show being ended. And I’m sure the bean counters looked at it and said, OK, what’s our choices? We can either run, we can get some revenue in, probably still be in the red by the end of the year, but maybe not as far in the red as we would be trying to defend certain things. Because keep in mind, people can bring lawsuits for all sorts of things, valid or not. You can sue somebody over a wrongly made peanut butter and jelly sandwich if you want in this country. You can do a civil lawsuit on about anything you want. And you still got to defend that. We need to change those laws, by the way, and actually make people responsible for said lawsuits. Anyways, at the end of the day, I think Disney finally said, you know what, our best thing is to probably just bring him back, even with the affiliates that aren’t going to let him be back on air. At the end of the day, we’ll get to the end of the year, and then we’ll cut our losses and move on. With all that being said, he was back on air last night. No, I did not watch it. I don’t watch Jimmy Kimmel, nor do I need to. Real quick, this is interesting, because I did see a video on this earlier today on social media. And I had forgotten. Charlie probably hasn’t, but I had forgotten. Charlie, you probably know. What other show was Jimmy on prior to becoming Jimmy Kimmel? The Man Show. For those of you that maybe don’t know what The Man Show was, go look it up. And you don’t need to watch it because most of what went on there is so crude and rude you wouldn’t want to watch it anyways. Yeah, just all sorts of stuff you don’t need to see. Charlie’s talking in my ear. And by the way, most of what was on the man show was very degrading to women. Extremely degrading to women. That’s probably the word I should use. It wasn’t a little bit. It was a lot. And he would make fun of all sorts of things. In fact, at one point in time, he was a blackface. any particular skit that he did. So lots of things Jimmy did that, frankly, I wouldn’t have been proud of. And so anybody out there on the left, especially this painting Jimmy up to be some sort of a saint. Yeah, he’s not. Not by a long shot. Now, I will say this. Was he funnier then than he is now? Yeah, he actually was. He was funnier then than he is now. All right. All that being said, he was on last night. And, by the way, he said a few things last night that were, once again, out-and-out lies. For example, these are exact words from Jimmy, and this is a lie. And I think Jimmy knows this, but he’s going to go ahead and go on this narrative as well. Anyways, to those who had a hand in Jimmy Kimmel Live being suspended, Kimmel said, that’s not legal, that’s not American, that’s un-American. That’s a lie, by the way. Because it’s completely legal in what they did. Now, he might not think it is because he’s going to go push this whole free speech narrative, which, by the way, is a false narrative. As I’ve said many, many, many times on this program and on the roundtable, I said it again this morning, when you work for someone else, even under contract like Jimmy has, there is no free speech. You are bound by what that employer or that person paying you says. Period. There is no free speech. It’s something, by the way, that we get backwards far too often because employees will even get this idea that, well, I have free speech. Well, yeah, you do on your own personal time, providing that that doesn’t somehow negate the people that you are working with or show them in bad light because, yes, you have free speech, but there’s also free consequences for that speech. I shouldn’t say free. There are consequences to that free speech is what I should say. And in some cases, there’s a hefty price to go along with said consequences. And as I’ve said many times, and I’ll continue to say, I will defend anybody’s right to speak whatever they want, any place, any time, anywhere. By the way, if they want to do it on the job, more power to you. But guess what? There’s consequences to that. And we do have things in the country, even though there’s free speech, for example, you can’t, the old saying is you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater when there is none. You’re putting people in harm’s way then by doing so. That’s not allowed. That’s not really free speech at that point. I mean, it is, but you’re going to get in trouble for doing things like that. Just like, for example, we have Secret Service watching for individuals that would put threats against our president or any other elected officials for that matter. Secret Service will get involved. If you if you went out there anywhere on your social media and posted that, you know, Donald Trump should die and somebody should take him out, which, by the way, some lefties have done that. Yeah. Secret Service should be knocking on your door. Rightfully so. While that’s free speech, there’s consequences to saying that. In fact, to my knowledge, Charlie, you can get in trouble for saying that about anyone, not just the president. Secret Service may not be involved, but the local police department might be. If you posted out on your social media that you would like to see so-and-so die, especially if it’s like an ex-spouse or something along those lines, guess what? Somebody’s going to be knocking on your door. Trust me, they will. So, yes, there’s free speech. But in this case, Jimmy last night going on TV and saying that that’s not legal. That’s his exact words, by the way. He’s either very, very, very mistaken or he’s a liar. One of the two. I’m going with the latter because he already lied in what he said about Charlie Kirk and Republicans. MAGA Republicans, by the way. He lied about that. What keeps him from lying about this? And frankly, the answer is nothing. So he went on, he talked about, you know, Ted Cruz and some of the people that actually came out in defense of him and were against the FCC, which, by the way, the FCC really didn’t do anything. What they did was they said, listen, guys, be careful. As to what you put out there, because guess what? The airwaves aren’t totally, you know, free and you can’t just do, for example, you can’t just do whatever you want to. For example, here on AM, FM, any kind of a terrestrial radio station, signals. Things that go out, you know, we’re governed by the FCC. I can’t come on here and just spew out, not that I would, but you can’t just spew out every four-letter word known to man. I won’t stay on air doing that. So even here with what I’m doing, it’s not free speech. It’s free speech with some brackets around it, I guess you could say. There are certain things the FCC will not allow for obvious reasons, by the way, because there’s kids listening and there’s other people listening and so on. And there’s just certain things that, morally speaking, they don’t want going over the airwaves. It’s, by the way, how Howard Stern ended up getting banned and had to go shove off to satellite radio because he said far too many things that just aren’t allowed to be said on the FCC or by the FCC, I should say. So there’s this huge. misconception or misunderstanding in regards to laws and free speech and how they work and so on. And frankly, most people need to study up on them because they throw that phrase around, oh, it’s free speech, it’s my right. Well, is it? It depends. And in a lot of cases, most cases, by the way, most people have no idea how the real letter of the law works. And they throw things around like Jimmy did last night that it’s not legal. Jimmy knows that it is. He’s honestly, he’s not that dumb. And don’t let him fool you into thinking that he is. He again, last night, in my opinion, did nothing to apologize and lied again. And he’s cutting his own throat, by the way. I mean, I can’t make a serious bet on this because I don’t know. I don’t know Disney. But I will be shocked if they renew his contract. The only way his contract gets renewed is if his ratings go up enough to actually make the show worthy. I don’t see that happening. I just don’t see that happening. So we’ll watch, see how it goes from here. But that was the rundown on what happened last night when he came back on air. And I’m not surprised by anything that he said, by the way.

SPEAKER 09 :
That’s Geno’s with a J. Now back to Rush to Reason on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 11 :
And we are back, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Sunny Cutcher joining us now, Young Americans Against Socialism. Sunny, how was your day today?
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, it’s good. Always a joy.
SPEAKER 11 :
Always a lot going on, let’s just say it that way.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER 11 :
Never a dull moment. So, first off, before we get started, for those that may be listening for the first time, who is Young Americans Against Socialism?
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, so Young Americans Against Socialism is a nonprofit educational organization founded in 2019 by Morgan Zegers. You may have heard of her name before. And she was in college, and she had a communist roommate. And she understood, finally, it kind of all crystallized in that moment that kids are being radicalized into, you know, leftist, useful idiots, if you will, to… push along the left agenda. And they are being used by the radical left to accomplish these tasks and kind of convince people that the leftist ideology is what will bring success or prosperity through equality and fairness, which the left will do no such thing. And so she set out to create an organization that would teach young Americans about socialism and what it means to what it is, how it functions, and how it destroys societies. And so that’s our goal is to teach kids and Americans of all ages, but specifically kids at school age, that they will embrace American values, constitutional values, so that they know exactly what they’re talking about and they can stand on their belief with conviction against kids, their peers. and kind of debate them in these topics, just as you would see Charlie Kirk do. Morgan actually worked with Turning Point before she started this organization.
SPEAKER 11 :
Awesome, awesome. Well, speaking of, there was a great, of course, you know, there was a great ceremony that happened on, Sunday, I didn’t watch all four hours of it. I don’t know if you did or not. I watched a few excerpts of it here and there. And by the way, a great celebration of life, really what that was, a memorial celebration of life, call it what you want. Ultra call, actually, there at the service itself. I mean, honestly, the lives that will now be changed moving forward, let’s just say that not only did it have a great impact when he was alive, he’s had a bigger impact, I think, even after passing.
SPEAKER 19 :
Absolutely, and I think You know, he was the kind of person where we just felt on the conservative side, obviously, that he was just always going to be there. He’s going to be championing the movement and championing American values and ideals. And so I think it was just such a shock for people to see a private citizen, you know, attacked and targeted that way and so violently and then taken out. And I mean, and that is the truth is that the radical left will stoop to violence and executions and killings and the like. And we’ve been seeing we’ve seen that over, you know, I would say probably 50 years now at this point. I think it’s just that people don’t realize, you know, actually how violent they are. We’ve seen the left carry out, you know, like pipe bombing, pipe bombing bombs and all of these different things that the DNC years ago and Weather Underground. These are actual domestic crimes. terrorist groups organizations that function you know under the scope of you know organizations but they’re actually funded by the radical left wing that seeks to cause chaos and wreak havoc and actually commit violence to take out their opponents instead of debating us in the ideals and that’s why conservatism always wins because we are the free marketplace of ideas
SPEAKER 11 :
Speaking of, and I don’t know if you saw the news, but the Dallas ICE facility, there was a shooting there. The suspect was identified. One has been detained, killed. Two others were injured. So not a good day there. I think Kristi Noem even spoke about it today. I haven’t been able to follow that story greatly because I’ve had a really, really busy day today. But a shooter opened – with a rifle opened fire from one of the nearby roofs onto the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement location in Dallas. That was this morning. And, again – I don’t know the shooter, haven’t gotten all the information on that a little bit early for all of that. But let’s just say, Sonny, I would highly, highly, highly doubt that that person is a right-wing conservative.
SPEAKER 19 :
No, absolutely not. And I believe on his bullet, you know, they found some bullets left over. Yes, exactly. And so, you know, I think to some degree that… It’s almost beyond identity politics at this point. Right. Because we are talking about mentally disturbed people who seek to commit violence. And now they you know, when you are in that mindset, that will stop at nothing. And I think it’s really hard for like regular normal people to kind of like. assume that mindset and understand what that person might be going through or or who’s funding them or who put them up to this or you know how they may have been radicalized or what types of ideas they’ve been floating around who they’re talking to who they’re coordinating with i mean there’s so much that we don’t know and i think that’s again like why the charlie thing was so intense because people are starting to really see like oh we need to be asking questions because there’s just so much that we are not told that we don’t know and you know the the left uses that to their advantage by blaming it on you know gun control and and being anti-gun and uh anti you know the second amendment which um it’s it’s interesting because i know actually some like i know some people on the left personally and they are not against the second amendment they believe in the second amendment however they want you know stricter laws and such and i i Tell them. I say, you know, most of the time this happens, usually it’s an illegal gun, you know, for the lone wolf where they go and whatever. These are illegal guns, number one. Number two, there are many gun laws in place all over the country. And so we have grace periods. We have background checks, you know.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and really quick, too, the one thing I would throw.
SPEAKER 19 :
Mental illness of people, which is really the root of the problem.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and I would throw back to them, Sonny, too, that this is something I always say. It’s like, okay, timeout. Last time I checked, it’s against the law to take someone else’s life. So all of the gun laws that we could even institute, at the end of the day, if they want to take someone’s life, they’re going to take that life. We already have laws against that. To your point, yes, there’s all sorts of other gun laws in effect as well. But at the end of the day, it’s already against the law to murder, to take someone else’s life in cold blood, Sonny, yet they still do. So my point is there’s not a law, one, that’s going to stop that.
SPEAKER 19 :
Precisely, precisely. And that’s why it comes down to, OK, well, what is happening in our society where people are to this point where they want to murder people because they disagree, because they’re seeing illegal aliens being deported and now they want to go attack an ICE facility.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and this comes down to some of the things that you guys instruct on routinely. This is the Marxist way. Marxists don’t believe in any kind of a supreme being. They don’t believe in God. They don’t believe in any kind of a higher authority. You and government, by the way, are authority at the end of the day, meaning that there are no consequences. They devalue life on a regular basis. I mean, we can go on and on, Sonny, all the way through this. Your curriculum explains this very well. But at the end of the day, this is what happens under Marxist influence.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yes. And the other thing is the left is so committed to being anti-America. And the one major thing that I feel has really shifted our country in the last 15 years, let’s say, is mass migration. And because most of the, you know, most immigrants who I would say come here, you know, of their own volition, hey, I want to go to America now. You know, we’re not talking about refugees, just people who are like, yeah, I want to go to America. Wow, what a land of opportunity. They actually value what America is. When you have mass migration and you have organizations, NGOs, governments, essentially moving hundreds of thousands, if not in the millions, actually tens of millions of people into America. That has been, I believe, that is the root cause of, you know, detangling the degradation of the fabric of our society, because America is inherently about not only the individual, but also like the collective prosperity, meaning like we all kind of, you know, states rights. We work together in our own individual way to maintain the values that we have in this country, values above all. The Constitution is what protects us. Embracing those values is the highest. And so those migrants, they don’t assimilate into our country. I mean, we’ve seen that. We’ve seen that. We threw the election.
SPEAKER 11 :
And really quick, Sunny, that’s the difference between an invasion and immigration. What you just described a moment ago isn’t immigration. It’s an invasion.
SPEAKER 19 :
And I think people are… it’s almost like afraid to admit that, you know, different people live different cultures, different lives in a different lifestyle all over the world. And, and I don’t think those migrants would be afraid to say, yeah, they, they do live differently, you know, travel to, to Afghanistan, travel to Haiti, travel to, you know, Ethiopia or somewhere else in Africa. I mean, that is, that is the reality. And so it’s not a racist thing. It’s not, you know, it’s an identitarian thing. Whereas being an American is, is so special because we value the way that our country has been founded. We value what brings our society together and how it holds us all together because we actually value the freedom that we are granted, whereas they don’t have that in other countries. And so, you know, the full circle, of course, that is what we teach in our resources because Kids are being indoctrinated in schools to hate America and to support these types of things like mass migration because they don’t have that. They don’t have that reverence for our country. And that’s where you see a person like this, you know, targeting an ICE facility because he believes that we are actually like deporting citizens, perhaps, or, you know, some of these lies that are being told because. They’re being pumped with these lies that we hate immigrants, and it’s not about immigrants. It’s about a mass migration invasion, as you mentioned.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yep, yep, absolutely. All right, how do folks find you, Young Americans Against Socialism? What’s the best way for folks to do that?
SPEAKER 19 :
Absolutely. Our website is the best place to find our resources, yaas.org, Y-A-A-S.org. We have written interviews, video interviews of survivors of socialism and communism. That is the heart of our organization is to interview their stories because that really resonates with people when they hear the stories of how people came to this country to escape tyranny, escape oppression, and to enjoy the American lifestyle and to really embrace those ideals. And then you can find us on all social media channels and check out our content where we just post leftist crazy rhetoric and things to watch out for, propaganda, etc., And we’d love to hear from you and donate if you are so inclined. We really appreciate your support, and thanks for having us every Wednesday.
SPEAKER 11 :

SPEAKER 17 :
Michael Bailey, the mobile estate planner, has the key to wisely protecting your college-aged kids. Think about it. If your kiddo goes off to college and gets hurt, the hospital won’t let you make decisions for them because at age 18 and above, they are technically an adult. What if they’re unconscious? Will a doctor let you make health care decisions for an adult and stay informed about their medical condition? No. Before they’re 18, it’s a given. You can make those decisions. But after 18, there is typically no spouse or someone already approved to legally make those crucial decisions. Michael Bailey can help make short work of a general medical or financial power of attorney for your college goer in one easy appointment. He’s got the experience and knowledge to ensure that whatever happens, you can still be a dedicated parent to your kids. Find him on the klzradio.com advertisers page and and protect your kids by getting your Power of Attorney appointment set up today.

SPEAKER 09 :
We inform you. Now, back to Rush to Reason. All right, we are back. Joe, you’re up next. Go ahead, sir.
SPEAKER 08 :
John, just a couple of things about who the killer was and the gun he used and why those people were killed. The killer’s name is a guy named Joshua John, J-A-H-N. 29 years old, previous conviction for marijuana possession, whatever. Now, and by the way, when he shot these people, it was between 6.30 and 7 in the morning. Sunrise in Dallas this morning wasn’t until 7.17. And the people that were wounded and killed were inside the ice van. So it was dark. He was shooting into an ice van, had no clue who was inside that van. So to say that He was targeting detainees as complete nonsense because he had no idea who was inside that van. It was dark and the van was closed. So he was just shooting into an ice van. And the gun he used, I don’t know if you’ve seen the picture. You know what a stripper clip is?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, for those listeners who don’t know, a stripper clip is not a – people use the words clip and magazine interchangeably. They’re not. A clip is just a little piece of metal – that holds five bullets in a vertical stack. And some of the World War I and World War II era guns, when you wanted to reload it, you didn’t have a magazine you could replace. You simply lined up this little clip that was holding these. And with your thumb, you pushed them down into the gun and threw the little piece of metal away.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s where the term clip comes from, by the way, not magazine.
SPEAKER 08 :
Not in magazine, right. So, you know, the 1903 Springfield and the German Mauser, they all used stripper clips, again, which were just a temporary holder for the rounds. And you line that holder up with the top of the gun and you took your thumb and you push the bullets out of the clip down into the internal magazine of the gun. And that would make the gun, by the way, either a 1903 Springfield or a German Mauser, both, you know, World War II surplus guns, bolt-action surplus guns. And the rounds kind of look like .30-06, although they could have been 8mm Mauser, but I think they’re .30-06. So, again, he had no idea who was inside the van. It was dark. It was, you know, pre-dawn. Using a bolt-action rifle that is probably like his grandfather’s, probably a really old gun. And previous conviction for marijuana, and again, with the anti-ice saying scribbled on the rounds, clearly he wasn’t, you know, definitely MAGA, as some of these idiots are saying.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and to me, that’s a pretty easy one on the front side. And I know some would disagree with this, but Joe, rarely and not saying it wouldn’t ever happen. But by the way, we would disown anybody along those lines if they did. But rarely is it somebody that’s going to be in that, you know, you know, on the right in the conservative movement. And I’m not talking the far-right wackadoodles that are out there, because I don’t claim any of those individuals, by the way, Joe. They’re so far right, they’re left. So I’m not talking about those. But normal, sane folks on the right are not going to go do that, period.
SPEAKER 08 :
No. Yeah, we’ve had some right-wing wackadoodles that have tried to burn down abortion clinics and whatnot, and they’re wackadoodles.
SPEAKER 11 :
They are. And we don’t claim them, and we want full justice for them when that happens, because we don’t agree with them at all when they do those things, period.
SPEAKER 08 :
Absolutely not. So anyway, that’s the story. We’re going to learn more, obviously, as they begin to research and look at his social media and whatnot. But anyway, 20-year-old guy, Joshua John, J-A-H-N, lived in both North Dallas and Oklahoma prior to marijuana conviction. Kind of a long-haired, almost a hippie-looking guy. You know, no Trump stickers, you know, none of that stuff. And he used an old bolt-action rifle.
SPEAKER 11 :
And, yeah, I mean, even reading a report that Homeland Security put out, and he basically fired in, you know, randomly, to your point, meaning that he didn’t really have any idea who he was shooting at. He was indiscriminately shooting, meaning he was just picking at the van and pulling the trigger, if you would.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, and he had no clue if they were ice age. He had no clue if anybody was in the van at all. And if there was, whether they were ICE agents or somebody else. In fact, I would be surprised if there were somebody in the van. I would assume at that hour in the morning they’d probably be ICE agents and not detainees.
SPEAKER 11 :
Because you’re going out to pick up people, not round them. In other words, you’re not bringing them back at that point in time. That’s typically not the way it works.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, at 6.30 in the morning, I would assume that if there was anybody in the van, I would have incorrectly assumed that if there was anybody in the van, they’d be ICE agents. I would never have assumed that there’d be detainees in a van at at 6.30 in the morning outside of a nice detention center.
SPEAKER 11 :
I would agree. And as you say, Joe, and it’s one thing why I’ve always been hesitant to say a whole lot, because more and more information will come out on this over the next couple of days, but chances of it being somebody from the MAGA side of the fence is probably a stretch.
SPEAKER 08 :
But by the way, the wackos on the left, John, they’re already saying this is a setup at stage. Oh, geez. FBI, this was a setup, and they’re making this guy the fall guy.
SPEAKER 11 :
Now they sound like our side at times when we do that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. The number of people who are making this out to be a conspiracy plot, the FBI’s in on it, they wanted to kill these detainees. John, you’d be stunned and saddened by how many of those people are out there posting those comments. And by the way, John, I’m surprised you were here today. I thought the rapture would have taken you yesterday.
SPEAKER 11 :
You know, I guess it just shows, like I said initially, that we would be here on the 24th talking, not because I didn’t go, but because it didn’t happen. And the reality is, no, Joe, it didn’t happen.
SPEAKER 08 :
It didn’t happen. John, it’s amazing how every year you get that right.
SPEAKER 11 :
I don’t know. And these are individuals, again, I’m not claiming any of these individuals because they’re people that are really in it for all the wrong reasons. They try to make a name for themselves. They try to get their five-minute moment of fame, I guess you could say, Joe. Yeah, at the end of the day, I don’t claim anybody that ever sets a date along these lines because there isn’t any way to do that. They’re whacked and it’s not going to happen. In fact, I can guarantee you, like I said prior, anybody that sets a date, I can guarantee you it’s not that date.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, John, if you want to get rich, just say, look, I’ll bet you everything you own versus everything I own that you’re wrong. What do you got to lose, John? If you’re right, it doesn’t matter.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, unbelievable, Joe. And again, for everybody listening, the way all that came up was I had a listener, I don’t know, a month and a half or so ago that basically said, how come you’re not talking about this rapture date on September 23rd? And my answer back was, well— A, it’s not going to happen. B, I don’t talk about nonsense. But I kind of made fun of it just because it is funny in a way, Joe. And, no, I don’t talk about these things, you know, very often unless somebody actually prompts me to do so. In this case, they did. And, again, look where we’ve turned out. You know, nothing happened, of course.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, John, again, I think you’re missing a money-making opportunity. Next time this comes around, you know, have your lawyer draw up a contract, you know, that you’re going to bet. And you can make a legal contract, by the way, of something, you know, it’s It wouldn’t be illegal under state law. And he can draw up a contract where you’re going to bet everything you own against everything that other person owns. And, John, you’ve got nothing to lose because if the rapture does come, you wouldn’t need your stuff anyway. And if it doesn’t come, you just want a bunch of assets from the other person.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yep. You know what? Not a bad idea, Joe. All right. All I got, John. All right, man. Appreciate it very much. Thank you, Joe. Let’s do this. Roof Savers of Colorado coming up next.

SPEAKER 09 :
Now back to Rush to Reason on KLZ 560. All right, Dave, got two minutes. Go for it, sir.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, great show. Thank you for taking my call. I just don’t get why people think Yeshua was a liar.
SPEAKER 1 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 09 :
I don’t know, Dave.
SPEAKER 03 :
You know, because he’s talking to his disciples, and he’s saying, when you see these things. Right. So how is he talking to us? I believe that Matthew 26, Revelations, is largely talking about the fall of Jerusalem. and the end of that age, the end of the temple age. And I’ve got their scriptures and their historical Josephus historians that can validate that belief, but he was talking to them. He wasn’t talking to us.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, and I will—Dave, thank you for saying that, because I tend to be more on your side of the aisle, and even though I grew up not really being taught that and really taught something completely different, I tend to side with you on that. And again, this is not a show where I get into really deep theological things, because it’s not really the audience for, but I’m with you on this. I believe fully the way you do.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, it’s— And I think, and not to turn this into a religious session, but that belief robs Christians of their power because they think it’s going to get so bad that they have to be rescued.
SPEAKER 11 :
I agree. And I also will tell you that a lot of that really didn’t become popular talk until the late 1800s, early 1900s for some reason, Dave. I don’t know why, but that’s really when it became popular.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and unfortunately it’s robbed a lot of Christians of their power. I fully agree with you.
SPEAKER 11 :
Fully agree. Well, really quick, Dave, it makes a lot of Christians to be out, to be very weak and meek, and that’s not the case at all, nor should we be.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, not at all. And one thing about Charlie Kirk, who is precious to all of us, I think one of the things that made him so powerful was that he listened to Daddy’s voice. An 18-year-old going on a mission like that?
SPEAKER 10 :
True.
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s got to be from daddy. That’s got to be from God.
SPEAKER 10 :
True.
SPEAKER 03 :
And he listened and he went where daddy told him to go. And I’m hoping that people understand that Charlie was the vessel. We honor the vessel. but we glorify God, and it was God’s Spirit in Him that enabled Him to do that, and God’s Spirit in all of us can enable us to do the same.
SPEAKER 11 :
Absolutely. Well said. I’ll leave it at that. I can’t add anything to that, Dave. I appreciate the call very much. Very wise man, by the way. We’ll come back. Another flower coming your way. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 1 :
I’m a rich guy
