Mayor Richard Newton of Colleyville, Texas says he's not going to enforce the governor's order that everyone in his community wear masks in public places. Does he have a problem with this? Also, we have a guest from Zambia who tells us about what it's like for African-Americans around the globe.
00:00:00.100Welcome to the podcast. Today we look at some big cities and how terrible things are going there.
00:00:06.080So many of them, once again, have shown to be left-leaning Democrats who have decided to apply these fantasy policies to their cities and things aren't going well.
00:00:18.440And then we look at a different type of city, a smaller town run by a conservative.
00:00:22.980And what he's doing as far as the masks are going on in his particular community, he's being called radical.
00:00:30.900Listen to him. Tell me if you think he is.
00:00:32.740Also, we have a guest from Zambia who is going to tell us a little bit about what it's like for African-Americans, or I guess he would be upset at that term, but African-Americans around the globe, which doesn't make too much sense.
00:00:47.200But you find out that maybe it's not so bad for black people here in America when you compare it to the rest of the world.
00:00:54.120We go into that, as well as Cheryl Atkinson, former CBS and many mainstream media sources.
00:01:00.080She's worked all over the place, and she's here to tell us about what's really going on in the media today.

00:01:38.300So, Richard Newton, Dr. Mayor Richard Newton, mayor of Colleyville, Texas, he is not going to police the mask mandate among the COVID-19 panic.
00:01:58.580And the governor has said everybody needs to wear masks.
00:03:53.760I learned there's been no deaths in Colleyville.
00:03:55.800A lot of numbers have consistently been very low.
00:03:57.960But I learned yesterday there's a fake profile, Facebook profile, by the name of Sherry Michaels.
00:04:03.560She's posed as a very conservative, religious individual and wrote this very long, gut-wrenching post about her 8-year-old child dying in Colleyville.
00:04:16.540Yesterday afternoon, for whatever reason, I guess, or pressure brought on her, but she has recanted and said that's all fake, it's not true.
00:04:25.960So my message to people is please be very careful in what you read in the social media and react to, because there's much in it that's just flat, wrong, and purposely erroneous.
00:04:49.480In fact, I don't even know if it's a woman who ever created this fake profile.
00:04:53.300But in the recant, the recant was actually more vicious than the story, and the true colors came out.
00:05:01.200She called me and all my elected officials and Colleyville fascists and all the terrible things that they could dream up.
00:05:09.660So it was clearly a political stunt, but that's going on.
00:05:13.560People just need to know that that really is happening.
00:05:16.240And in fact, she had hundreds of thousands of comments and stuff.
00:05:19.780It's really a shame, very devious and vicious.
00:05:23.480Okay, so Richard, you would probably be the most disappointing fascist to fascists, seeing that you are not willing to say you must do these things.
00:05:41.180And I want to make it clear again, but you wear a mask yourself, and you think it's a good idea to wear masks.
00:05:50.480You're only doing this as a personal liberty thing.
00:05:55.420Yes, and the reason I'm doing this, this is the most interesting part of all of this.
00:05:59.620The DA's office had a conference call with all the police departments, including us, and indicated that they have no way to prosecute this.
00:06:17.040I do not believe any city in Tarrant County can enforce this, and that's why we're not doing it.
00:06:22.600It would put our police in a very awkward situation, a very embarrassing situation.
00:06:27.160It could lead to such a thing such as the Dallas Salon debacle, where they were in this enforcement paradox, and it was embarrassing to everybody.
00:06:36.820So it just doesn't make sense for the government to try to tell a business to enforce something that even the government cannot enforce itself.
00:06:46.800That's unfair to the business and the citizens, actually.
00:06:50.020But I would encourage everybody to do it.
00:06:53.800So why are people so upset then, Mayor?
00:06:57.160I mean, because you have been called everything under the sun, and you don't care about people, and you're an embarrassment to the city.
00:07:06.780I mean, that's what people are saying.
00:07:19.000I've talked to a young mother yesterday at some length, and I just asked them questions, and in asking questions, you know, they think that I have, and they've been told, and in social media, our detractors say that we're not, we don't want, we're making people not wear masks.
00:07:50.580It's a, and then they, I don't, you know, why that's happening, I can't tell you why that's happening, but that's what is happening.
00:07:59.580So I always simply calmly ask people what they're, why they think they're, why they're mad at Colleyville and want to tell me things that are wrong, I correct them on what's right.
00:08:09.420And typically, they still understand, but may not agree, but they understand it.
00:08:15.180And the governor, how's your relationship with the governor, Greg Abbott?
00:08:30.600I think this Tarrant County order was put together very quickly without a lot of thought, with no discussion with the cities on how to enforce it.
00:08:39.740And that came about after the fact, after he put the order in.
00:08:43.780But Governor Abbott, it's not enforceable because Governor Abbott himself has edicted that there is no local governmental agency that has the right to mandate that individuals wear masks.
00:08:57.020And he's done that because it's a constitutional issue.
00:16:04.880And all of a sudden, any type of real conversation about real problems goes out the window because of the unreasonable nature of the way these things are being forced right now.
00:16:24.240Because, I mean, when you get down to take the statues and all the stained glass window of Jesus and his white friends, look, Jesus, I don't think Jesus was white.
00:16:34.220I think he looked like a Jew from the Middle East.
00:16:37.080I think that's what he probably looked like.
00:19:43.660And it's a phrase designed to use black people.
00:19:47.320That phrase dehumanizes black people because it makes them pawns in a game that has nothing whatsoever to do with black people and their dignity
00:19:57.700and has everything to do with a divisive agenda that is bigger than black people.
00:20:07.420That's why I'm not going to use that phrase.
00:24:22.880I'm not one of these individuals who says, you know, ah, politics, why should we have anything to do with politics?
00:24:28.180Ironically, people have considered me too politically active for a lot of my ministry, right?
00:24:33.700And so I'm not saying that we shouldn't advocate for that.
00:24:36.880What I'm saying is right now what I'm seeing is that people are pressing this like this time we're finally able to get the ball over the goalposts.
00:24:51.640He is our only answer to these issues.
00:24:54.500But when critical theory comes in and now everything becomes systemic and we move outside of the individual, all of a sudden our hope does become a systemic hope, a governmental hope.
00:25:11.000And so what I don't want to see you talking about that backlash again, you know, is people saying, number one, we don't need to deal with the hearts of men anymore because we absolutely do.
00:25:23.060Racism is real prejudice is real or saying that we only need to deal with the hearts of some men, because now we say racism is something that only white people, you know, can experience.
00:26:42.600And some people, because they don't know what the organization is about and others, in spite of the fact that they do know what the organization is about.
00:26:53.060And you listen, I am not saying that we don't advocate for change, that that's that's I mean, that's the that's the nature of the American experiment.
00:27:47.200You know what what what we know about Black Lives Matter and how they how they get all of their all of their funding.
00:27:56.700I want to talk a little bit about one of the things that we we showed last Wednesday is the the group that I don't think you might have heard of, but I don't think you really understand what it is.
00:29:29.580After the election of President Bush in 2004, they knew that the progressive party was in trouble.
00:29:36.540And so they got together and they did something.
00:29:39.640And I boy, I wish I was telling you a story about Republicans doing things like this or or constitutionalist or libertarians doing something like this.
00:29:56.560Is they get together with 70 of their billionaire friends and millionaires, and they got together with them in 2005 with a long term goal of the progressives taking power.
00:30:09.940Soros donated 18 million dollars of his own money.
00:31:22.480The Latino Engagement Fund, Media Matters for America, New Media Ventures, New Organization Institute, Organizing for Action, Progressive Majority, Progress Now, State Voices, Women's Equality Center, Youth Engagement Fund.
00:31:41.400I'm I'm I'm I'm really just not even out of the A's.
00:31:46.880Democracy Alliance maintains its privacy of its members and the dark money.
00:31:53.000And what they are acting as is this combination of the World Bank and a social network for progressive billionaires.
00:32:01.520And here's what you have to do if you want to be a member.
00:32:05.020You have to pay a twenty five thousand dollars initiation fee.
00:32:09.080Oh, do they spank my bottom thirty thousand dollars a year in dues and an additional two hundred thousand dollars a year to groups that Democracy Alliance supports.
00:32:21.280But the vast majority of funds come from solicited donations from outside of the billionaires of which Doctor Democracy Alliance serves as a pass through to their favorite organizations.
00:32:45.680I was thinking about I have some dirty clothes at home and I need to put them in the laundry machine and clean them and cleanse them so that people wouldn't necessarily know that they were dirty before.
00:32:58.520But now they'll say, wow, those are clean clothes.
00:33:00.560And the whole time you'll be thinking, yeah, they've actually been really dirty in the past and you don't know about it.
00:33:05.460So that's I was thinking about a home a home issue with my clothing.
00:33:14.500We also talked about how people are influencing what's happening on our streets.
00:33:22.220Project Veritas had a video that we we showed you last week where there are national organizers with a group called Refuse Fascism.
00:33:33.260And it's an organization that works in tandem with Antifa and now is plotting the destruction of capitalism, you know, from swanky, you know, upscale restaurants where they where they talk about.
00:33:49.000Hey, we've got and we have the video of it, you know, George Soros and Tom Steyer.
00:33:54.860I mean, we we've been talking to them now.
00:33:57.300They don't want to be named, but they're going to they're going to come out and they've got some really big things that they are going to do.
00:34:05.240And there's going to be we have the video.
00:34:26.160We've been talking to his assistant, meeting with his main, his main advisor on the future.
00:34:33.520I think he has political ambitions that he may actually want to not be directly connected.
00:34:41.880OK, so they're talking about how they did get money from Soros and how they're meeting with Tom Steyer and they don't want to be directed directly connected.
00:34:50.700But that what their goal is, is to put thousands of people on the streets and then millions of people on the streets this summer.
00:35:00.840Now, this came out before there were thousands on the streets and millions on the streets.
00:35:06.480And they are talking about protests and riots and anarchy.
00:35:29.340That's why they're not raising money themselves.
00:35:31.860They'll say give to Black Lives Matter.
00:35:33.840But when you go there, you're actually giving to Act Blue, which is a 501 C4, Stu, do you know?
00:35:42.800And so you can you can get a charitable contribution for your taxes, but that's because it's going to Act Blue.
00:35:52.780And when you see how they're spending their money at Black Lives Matter, very little of it actually goes to Black Lives Matter in the first place.
00:36:14.500Let's make sure we keep up with that, because laundering is your your clothing is very important.
00:36:19.620Your clothing is very, very important.
00:36:22.540So anyway, so you're looking now at a group that is is funding, of course, Black Lives Matter and giving them the money that you donate.
00:36:40.300Not all of the money, we don't think not all of the money, we think a portion of the money and out of that portion, about 80 percent of it goes to the global operations, which means consulting fees.
00:36:58.900Who are they consulting with the salaries and the air travel for a global organization?
00:37:08.380Only six percent of it goes actually to the inner city.
00:37:14.600Only six percent of it goes to the local chapters.
00:37:18.320God only knows what they're doing with it.
00:37:19.820But this is a giant fundraising scheme and it's all going into the same pot that are doing a lot of advertisements and a lot of other things for the Democrats.
00:37:33.140So they can win in this next election.
00:37:47.660But we those of us who are paying attention also know exactly who these people are and what how they are using black people, how they are using the plight and how they are souping things up with all cops are bad to get their way in November.
00:38:08.440But they're not only just those power players are not only using the black strife, they are using Black Lives Matter.
00:38:19.420They're using these these Marxists to be able to forward it.
00:38:25.260And there's one thing that George Soros is not.
00:38:39.660They're the ones that will in the end be scooped up.
00:38:43.580They're the ones in the end that the bottom up top down inside out really is effective.
00:38:51.500Right now, you don't really want the top to come down with with Donald Trump because Donald Trump is not going to be the effective one.
00:39:02.920The effective one is possibly the next president who won't even know when he's in the Oval Office or when he's taking nappy naps and drooling on his pillow.
00:39:13.460When Joe Biden gets in, if he, God forbid, gets in, when that happens and the streets rise up, he'll then be authorized to go in and quash those those few Black Lives Matter Marxists.
00:39:34.140And the top will come down and unfortunately, it will come down on them and on us.
00:39:41.260And that's the revolution without a shot fired.
00:39:45.360That's exactly how it's happened with Marxists and communists over and over and over again in country after country in the 20th century.
