Like we always say, don’t believe everything we say do your own research. And we give you a great starting point and make that happen. And if you look behind me and where I’m at, this is a different set than we’ve been along for a while. This was the old set. We’re back. And the reason we’re back is because we have a new cohort here. We’re here with Del Murphy. Del is the guy that you and I we went to high school together. Yep. We started a podcast a long time ago, we tried right COVID happened, we just kind of fizzled out. And then life went on you were busy doing a lot of stuff you and mortgages going through the roof. Yep.
And then meme Joe came here he got super, super busy, which is why I’ve done a monologue for so long. But so excited to have a partner back. And we’ll have to show clip in a little bit. But how are you doing?
Del Murphy
Yeah, man, I’m awesome. So excited to be here. And you know, happy to just pick back up where we left off. And you know, just get some information out there and talk to the people and just have a good time doing it. So really looking forward to it.
Rusty Puttfark
Well, I want to show a clip of our younger days. This is back from I want to say April of 2020. I don’t know the exact date. But I know it was right when all the crazy stuff right when it started. Cool was going on. So let’s just watch this clip real quick. Just to show this sounds
Del Murphy
good. But yeah, I mean, this is you know, these are, these are crazy times. But you know, it looks like hopefully we’re coming out of it a little bit. And, you know, it was funny, I think the other day, you know, I don’t know if you heard California’s governor had come out and said, Oh, we got three more months where you got to be shut down. And I think he may have gotten a little pushback from especially the sports, a lot of sports people, whether it professional or college, because I think a lot of the people were talking about that they’re going to leave that they’re going to go somewhere else where they can play. And he came out and said, Hey, June 1, you guys can start playing sports, you know, get me with fans, but you know, sports can start. So, you know, I think a lot of people are going to finally start standing up and going, hey, you know what, like you said, if the people that are willing to take that risk, where they feel like they’re healthy enough, where they can be part of that 99.2% or whatever it was that, that it comes back and, you know, recuperate from this thing, that, hey, we’ll go ahead and take our chances and let us live our life. So hopefully, hopefully, people start standing up and being able to do that.
Rusty Puttfark
So I’m a big proponent of personal responsibility. I just think that’s the way to live your life. With California. I
think they I mean, when they they announced you can’t go to the beach, they had 30,000 People in Huntington Beach. And it was it was awesome. I think, I think I’ve been most inspired by when you see people getting out there and risking going to jail and all this other stuff for the cause of freedom and liberty. I just think that that to me. I’m passionate about that. And I just can’t imagine somebody the government saying that there’s a virus out there so you can’t work. Because think of the risks that come in the the people that we honor on Monday took to keep this country free, to allow us to have that freedom to do that. And there’s risks with every with everything. We when we when we leave here tonight, we’re gonna take a risk to get in the car because we don’t know who’s doing what out there. We’re gonna take a risk doing that we’re going to take a risk doing everything. So that’s what we do. I mean, but there’s nothing wrong with that. We assume it and we just go forward. So that’s, that’s my little spiel on liberty and freedom, man, you can’t live without it. liberty and freedom. We didn’t realize how under attack that was actually becoming at that point. Yeah, we I mean, I think we had an idea or I think some of the rumors we thought were excessive, but they all were actually more than what we
Del Murphy
Yeah, actually talked about it that on that clip. Yeah, I know. We talked the other day where we are talking about some of the things that you said, Oh, well, this could happen or this could happen on what they’re reporting. And we both were like there’s no way and they actually went above and beyond that. Just just unreal looking back now and thinking you know what we had to go through then. Just Just amazing. It really
Rusty Puttfark
is, you know, and I don’t think it’s over. And I, I did a podcast not too long ago and said, If you think COVID is over, I’m the bearer of bad news, because they’re going to try to ramrod that through and they signed, when they did the G 12. Not too long ago, they signed an order that said, during the next pandemic, they will give total control of the health system to the World Health Organization. So they will require vaccine passports to travel. And all those 12 countries, which are the most populous travel countries around, they’re gonna require vaccine passports through the World Health Organization, which is a privately funded organization whose primary funder is the bill and what used to be Melinda Gates Foundation. I mean, it’s crazy. When you look when you go down to that level and look at really what came came out of that. We’ll get to, you know, Trump and some of the other stuff this week. And we, you know, as we’ve talked the other day, we both think that’s a distraction for some things. Absolutely. I think that’s one of the things that is a distraction from because now that we’re kind of rolling out, I mean, completely out of it. And again, I don’t think it’s over. But I think completely out of it. There’s people that should be prosecuted. And I’ve said many times on this, there should be trials and executions. And I mean, the second part of what I said, because when you go back, and you look at what happened, you know, in Nazi Germany with the Nuremberg trials and what they did, I mean, there were trials and executions at that point. And there’s, I mean, there’s people with blood on their hands, bad blood in their hands. I mean, there’s people that, you know, lost loved ones, just because of the, you know, the the coercion, and the forced, forcing them to do something that was against their will. I just don’t think that was right. But we’re in a, we’re in a different, we’re in a different path and a different world right now. But it’s still, it’s still there. And I think they’re trying to divert the attention off of what everyone should be focused on. And that’s, their heads should roll on this one.
Del Murphy
Yeah. And hopefully, I mean, I think you’ve got a lot more people that have an open mind now and aren’t just going to blindly follow what someone tells them to do, or what mandates them to do. You know, just because of what’s happened this last time. So, you know, we’ll see, it’s, it’s interesting to know, I think, like they said, Hey, may the 11th is the end of COVID. Like, how do you come up with a date? Because I think they came out with that, like two months ago? Like, how do you come up with that date, just out of the blue that this is whenever the pandemic is over, it’s just, some of it is just complete and utter nonsense. And, and so, you know, like I said, hopefully, there’s a lot of people out there that have woken up to where, hey, just because this is what the government or somebody says, doesn’t necessarily just like you say, do your own research. Let’s, let’s figure out, you know, what exactly is going on? And what, you know, what is behind? What they’re asking us to do, or what they’re telling us that we have to do, you know, before we just blindly follow like sheep. And so hopefully, there’s a good sized group of people that are going to, you know, try to figure that out themselves this next time around.
Rusty Puttfark
Yeah, well, it’s interesting, you say that, because this is the 64th episode of the free thinkers podcast, we’ve done 63 previous episodes. And I challenge anyone to go back and find and we’ve, and we were heavy. On COVID, we were heavy on natural supplementation, we are heavy on, don’t take the job, we are heavy on a lot of this stuff. Again, we weren’t here to give medical advice. We are here to give research and let other people do their own opinion and research. And I have I have friends that completely disagree with me, that’s fine. If they do their research and come to that conclusion, that’s all I want to know. But make sure it’s, you know, actual not pharmaceutical funded research, but it’s actual third party open research. But I challenge anyone to go back on all 63 previous episodes and find one thing we said about COVID. That wasn’t accurate. Yeah. There’s not right, I’ll put my record as a non health person. I mean, I have as great of a health degree as Bill Gates, but I’ll put it up against Anthony Fauci. I really will. The things that I’ve said on 63 episodes of this, versus the things that he said in public. Yeah, I’ll put my record up against his every single day of the week.
Del Murphy
Yeah, yeah, it’s interesting. Like, all the things, excuse me that got people thrown off a Twitter or, you know, wherever it may be. Now, it’s like, whether it’s the World Health Organization that’s coming out and saying, Hey, healthy teens and kids shouldn’t have the vaccination. All of a sudden, that’s coming out, you know, whereas before, it’s like, hey, you know, let’s do this to help other people like you know, if you have a grandparent around, make sure you get that job. Well, you know, now it’s coming out Hey, you probably shouldn’t have that if you’re healthy, you know, and you’re younger and you don’t have any of these underlying factors or symptoms, things going on. So, you know, yeah, it’s there’s a lot of things that were said before that people were either getting thrown off of social media, or being lambasted that, you know, they’re just heretics that are just so far right? That they’re out of their minds that now, you know, it’s coming out that Oh, that was actually truth. You know, so it’s just, it’s unbelievable.
Rusty Puttfark
Yeah. And the most interesting part was the Warren ivermectin that was That was wild to see, because this is a, it won the Nobel Prize for saving so many lives as far as a parasitical cure, in a sense. And then they discovered the efficacy of what it did against COVID. Right now, on the emergency use authorization, they can only get that if there’s no other drug that can treat this. Yeah. So they had to do a war on this. They had to like completely call it horse, the warmer and all this other stuff. Well, the people that took horse DO armor fared way better than the other people did. And so it was, it was really interesting in that and it was really sad. Because my family, we literally, were ordering it from India, because you couldn’t get it here. And if you if you did get a prescription, there were pharmacies that were pushing back against it because they were being funded. Probably to deny that. Right now. We’ve had a couple of doctors on this show one out in Arizona, that’s part of the, you know, the Americans, frontline doctors that can write prescriptions, and he has incredible results with his Clinic in Arizona, of people that are bad off, I mean, comorbidities and that kind of thing, taking it and recovering in a very, very fast time. I mean, my, my grandmother had it had COVID. And we put her on ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. She never even had a cough. And went right through it. And when I mean, we consulted with, you know, Doctor out in Arizona, and it was great. But it’s like when you have to do that yourself. And you have to get to that point, because there’s so much propaganda. There’s so many lies. There’s so much misinformation, deliberately deliverance, misinformation, and the people that are coming out, the accredited doctors are losing their jobs. They’re getting D platformed. They’re getting threatened with their lives literally. Yeah. I mean, like I said, I mean that I guess that clip just brought a lot of stuff up because we thought it was kind of, you know, that’s the point where we were locked down. We were getting takeout. And we were, you know, everybody was out there walking and all this other stuff. And it came to a point where it got real serious real fast. But like I said, I put the record of anything we said, because I think going and doing your own research and education and pushback against authority is the greatest thing you can do. It’s funny, and in my neighborhood, the reroofing the houses right now. We got a letter in the mail, and they said we’re doing this building first, we’re starting at the clubhouse on Monday. We’re recording this on Wednesday. So they said we’re going to start, you know, these houses down here and we’re going to move our way up the street. Park your cars in the road and that kind of thing. Yeah, man, Sunday night. All the neighbors down the street started parking their cars in the road. And I’m like, What in the world? Are you doing this? If you clearly read the letter? It said, we’re gonna start with the clubhouse, which is way down the road. And then we’re moving down and I’ve just kept parked in the driveway. I’m like, with my eyes, I can see that they’re not even close. But there’s still parking out there. I mean, there weren’t there. The whole crews at the clubhouse. Yeah. But they’re still parking on the side of the road. And I see all these cars out there. And I’m like, I guarantee you those people got the shots like that. Because to me, I take, I’ll take that with a grain of salt. I’ll take what I see with my own eyes with a grain of salt. I do my own research. Yeah, with a grain of salt. I’m just not gonna blindly follow what a letter says. I mean, obviously weather can contribute as a factor in that supply chain can contribute with this factor that all this so to me, I’m like, Okay, I’m going to take in my environmental information, right? And then I’ll so tomorrow, I may park out there, but I’ll do it when they’re getting close to my house. They’re not close to my house right now. Right? But these guys are still parking out in the road. And so I think what you said is so true and so accurate. It’s I hope people wake up at some point and say, All right, we’re going to we’re going to do our research because this was a really, really, really bad thing that happened.
Del Murphy
Yeah, and whenever you see all the commercials, all the halftime shows deal. Yeah, still, like I saw one this weekend or this week for were in what is this April and the doing the NCAA basketball. And there was a commercial about going out and making sure you get your booster. And it’s like steal the Pfizer and moderna. It’s just whenever you see, those are the major sponsors of all this stuff. It’s like, How much money are they getting paid, and to get everybody in line and to make sure they’re doing this stuff? And like you said, to not go out and get anything? That is not what they’re pushing them what they’re asking everybody to do. So, you know, it’s just like, sometimes, you know, you just need to open your eyes and actually see, because it’s like, you know, every time I turn on the radio, or every time I turn on the TV, it’s like you hear some type of drug commercial, and a lot of times it has to do with the jab have going on, and you’re just like, Dude, we’re like, we’re, we’re out of this, like, nobody’s even paying most, especially in Florida, like nobody’s paying attention to this stuff anymore. But I think you’ve still got people that are buying into it that apparently, you know, that are still getting their 47 shot. So, you know,
Rusty Puttfark
on a non election year, do you know what the percentage of cable news that sponsored by pharmaceutical companies? I don’t 70% I believe it 70% of all ad revenue is sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. And then do you think there’s ever going to be an accurate or real report on the dangers of pharmaceuticals? Absolutely not. They’re
Del Murphy
gonna shut it down.
Rusty Puttfark
They’re controlling the narrative of that brain? Yeah, so Jay RFK, Robert Kennedy, Jr. Came out with that with his children’s defense network. And they did a five year study on that 70% On a non election year. 70% is Big Pharma. Wow. Yeah. It’s crazy. It’s absolutely crazy. So we’re, again, we’re it’s government control propaganda. And the crazy part about it is, I mean, you’ve been in finance, you’ve been in stock market, that kind of thing. There’s two companies that own everything is BlackRock. Vanguard was the third and State Street. Right. Yeah. So the two major shareholders in and you can look it up on any mainstream news, NBC, MSNBC, Fox, it doesn’t really matter. At that point. The main shareholders are always BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street, right. I mean, look at the trains, the trains Norfolk Southern same thing. They’re the major shareholders. Yeah. But they’re also the major shareholders of Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and all these big pharma. So you have multiple entities at play, because it’s not just that Pharma is advertising on the cable news. They’re owned by the same companies. Yeah, their main shareholders are the same companies. So you really have a globalization through two or three big major companies that own everything. I mean, name anything Boeing, General Electric, Lockheed Martin, I mean, my neighbor was asking me he’s like, This is the craziest thing. Why are they advertising? Lockheed Martin, on Fox News? Like, well, think about it. When a war or conflict happens, guess who gets to control the narrative? The guys with the money, right? So it always comes back to the money. And it’s, uh, it’s interesting. So yeah, I think that that’ll clip lit back up some memories of crazy crazy times we came through Yeah, so we’ve got a we had an interesting interesting week. It’s Wednesday we’re just about nine days from the craziness that happened in Nashville. And man the stuff that’s happened since then it’s just been
awful I was looking today and the Nashville Predators had their
gay or transgender night with their with their jerseys. I mean, that’s a Nashville right? Read the room, you know, then the CMT awards. That’s all they have drag out there and the song I mean, it’s not just having dragged out there’s the song they’re singing about murder and dumping someone in a ditch I was I was pretty I’m not gonna say I was surprised. Thank you and I both agree on country music I don’t I think we we like the good we like good old stuff. And that’s where I mean you know the today’s country literally it’s what we would listen to New Kids on the Block. We didn’t listen to you because back in the day it was New Kids on the Block with a twang right guys today’s modern country for sure. So that’s why I like the sport. You know, DALE WATSON the Metropolitan that kind of thing. That’s real country music and it’s it’s the roots you know, like we you know, Marylyn, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, and, you know those, I mean, all those kinds of guys, you know, George Jones, but he was he in a what was his wife’s name? Tammy Wynette. Yeah, they live down the street from here. Yeah, literally. And so that’s some good, that’s some good old, good stuff. And then when you see what it is today,
Del Murphy
that’s rough, definitely different than what it used to be, you know, and I mean, even even, like we were talking about the other day, just you go back 20 years, you know, and not even that far, and just how much things have changed. And you know, what’s allowed on TV and what not, is not even allowed, but what they’re pushing on TV for you to accept and to embrace. And, you know, to hold up as the standard is just unbelievable, you know, what, it’s just like, usually, you know, usually you talk about, hey, it’s like, one little step at a time, but it’s just like, we’ve gone from no steps to just it. I mean, it’s just here, and this is what it is. And the problem is, is if you don’t accept it, then you’re a bigot. You’re a racist, you hate everybody, you know, instead of, hey, you know, like we talked about the other day, if you want to live your life that way, you know, used to was like, Hey, you want to live your life that way? You want to do that? That’s fine. You do you you do whatever you want to do. But I’m not going to tell you then that you got to live like me. You don’t tell me that I got to live like you. And now it’s like, if I don’t accept your way of living, you know, and what you’ve chosen, then that makes me a hateful person. And it’s like, there’s no middle ground here. There’s no, there’s no allow you to be the way you are. It’s it’s either you accept this and you promote it. And you push that agenda, or you’re just like, the total worst person in the entire world. So don’t call you a bigot. Yeah, absolutely.
Rusty Puttfark
The definition of a bigot is a person that wants everyone else to believe in their in their way. Which That’s it right? It’s the opposite, right? Like if if people would actually and I would challenge all the people out there, the crazy libs, the trainees, the, you know, all the to look up the definitions that they’re calling these, like other people. Yeah, like, look it up. Because I think it would really help inform what it is like a racist. A racist is a person that believes their race is superior than other races. So how can you be a racist against one race, but not others? No races, you believe your race is literally superior to everyone else? Yeah. And so, I mean, that’s the best. The crazy part about this whole thing is, you’ve got these people that are out there that that are that are trying to say we just want rights, what rights do they not have? Right? There’s every right that they have. Yeah, but but it moves through and I’ve talked about this before, but it moves through like a like a system and back in the 80s. It was empathise. So the, I don’t even know what a transgender was back then. I really did. I was just gay, you know, they had the green parrot down the road. And that’s what it was, it was dark windows and all this so so empathize. You know, I mean, my mom worked at a nail salon, and there was a gay guy there. And he was flamboyant. And all this other stuff. I mean, he was he was nice. I, it’s not like I didn’t talk to him. I didn’t want to be around him. Because I was. I mean, he was pretty flamboyant. That’s not what I was into that time. But I mean, I was nice to him, I talked to him. So empathize. You know, that’s one thing. And then it moved into the 90s, the early 2000s. To normalize. Like, that’s when you saw like, one of my, one of my good friends is an editor, you can probably watch all this stuff that he’s edited on Netflix, and he told me 10 years ago, he’s just they’re starting to push and they’re gonna put gay stuff in every single thing you see, which we seen, oh, like, you can’t watch a show without every show every year, something like that, which is hard to deal with kids, but I think they want to get them in that right because they’re in a theta brainwave state at that point. And that’s just going to normalize what they have in this normalizing sexuality, which is going to just take him down a slope that no one wants to get to. So you have empathized normalize, but we’re in the part now, which is demonize just like you said, if you don’t believe and accept what we want to do, then we’re going to we’re going to cut you off man we’re gonna cancel you we’re gonna ruin your business your family all this that’s that’s literally what they’re doing. Now. It’s we’re gonna kill you. We’re gonna I mean, they have these Tran. 20 days shirts with AK 40 sevens on them and, or AR 15 Whatever it is. And that took a big step fast. Yeah, but you said that’s not a baby step. You’re coming from, hey, except us. We want rights too. If you don’t like us, we’re gonna kill you. We’re gonna murder you. And we’ve seen We literally saw that happen in Nashville.
Del Murphy
Yeah. And that’s what you know, you even go back to 2016 to 2020 Whenever Trump was President, you know, and they talk about their rights and everything, and it’s like, what rights were taken away during that time? Like, what? How were you oppressed, from 2016 to 2020. With Trump as president, like, nothing was taken away, there was there was nothing that happened that you got, you know, that, that anything was taken away from you, that you had before, you know, whenever Obama was president, so what was it? What was it that you’re fighting so hard for now? You know, and, and so it’s one thing, like, if we could look and see that all Yeah, you know, this was going on, or, you know, these people were being oppressed, or they were, you know, being abused, or whatever the case may be. But it’s like you said, it’s just like this been this progression. And now over these last seems like two years, it’s been a really quick progression of to where it’s now if you don’t accept this, I mean, it’s on everything. I mean, it’s down to cartoons. I mean, it’s, you know, it’s like, you know, a Nickelodeon, they’ve got the, I think it’s the proud family or something, where it’s, the whole cartoon is about it. And so and it’s just like, like you said, it’s just instilling into children, hey, this is normal. And this is right. And we love everybody and accept everybody, and this is the way everybody should be. And so and it’s, it’s difficult to, you know, to take that and to just go accept it, and to not have any type of pushback, you know, and believing what we believe.
Rusty Puttfark
It’s so true. So it’s, I don’t even know where to where to start on that, honestly, because it’s when you look at the stats, and again, I’m I love to look at stats data. And like to look at the research and, you know, the last podcast, I did, talked about the suicide rate, among not only trans transgenders, but gay youth, gay youth, just to be gay, it’s your suicide rate is 400% higher than straight people. When you look at, you know, transgender, it’s just, which I don’t even know what the thing is, because they still got the package down there when they’re just dressing up in a dress. Right? Yeah. So I mean, the people that say that that’s not right. Like, that’s just not like, if everyone if everyone with the Earth was gay right now. There’d be no more children. Like, it’d be over. That’s not the design, like we’re talking about less than this not the design. There’s not a gay animals running around, there’s not whatever. So my point on that is, is that’s a that’s a destructive in I mean, there’s not a there’s not a source of truth. There’s not anything other than just, it’s the century of self. That’s a great documentary that was put out the century itself. And it’s just all about me, me, me, me, me. And I think there’s a lot of people that fear, they don’t have the acceptance, and maybe they get it from that group. And then maybe that brings them to communal sense, which, okay, that’s great. If that’s the truth, the church has failed. Right. And I truly believe that I think the church has failed on multiple aspects. But I think, you know, bringing people to a sense of community Starbucks genius idea. They said their whole goal, their whole mission on Starbucks is we want to be another community, between work and home. That should be what the church is, but Starbucks has filled the role that the church should should should go into, and that they’re not selling coffee. They’re selling community. Yeah. And I think anybody that go, I haven’t been there a long time. But I think anybody that goes there knows, that’s kind of a community and that kind of thing. But when you when you see just the destruction and death involved in that community, you have people that are off the chart and unhinged and you see it with a shooter in Nashville, because they’re desperate, they’re desperate for either acceptance. They’re desperate for something else. And when they don’t get it, they’re going to act out. And I think that there, there’s a mental capacity there. There’s a chemical capacity because most of them are in counseling, or taking some kind of psychotropic or antidepressant medication, which plays into that role, if not testosterone gender therapy, which also increases that I mean, it’s a ticking time bomb.
Del Murphy
Yeah. Yeah, I think like you said, it’s that we’re, we’re all searching for that meaning and we’re all searching for that belonging. And if you’re out there by yourself, and you don’t have a group of friends or you don’t have family that you’re close to. Yeah, I mean, it’s, it’s, it’s difficult. And if you find that in one of these other groups, that’s where things can start to get dangerous, you know. And whenever we look at some of the some of the things that have been happening lately, you know, with whether it’s Nashville or different things, you know, you look back and you see, what are we? There’s not because you look at whenever they want to preach hate against the church or things like that. It’s like, when has the church ever gone in and tried to kill a bunch of gay people? You know, I mean, we’re trying to save, you know, we’re trying to preach good news and to bring into, you know, the kingdom of God. And not to go out and go, Oh, you disagree with us? You know, then there’s always now of course, there’s always may be somebody that’s, you know, on the, that’s just crazy, that has an issue. But for the most part, it’s, it’s not the groups that, you know, it’s not like you see now where the people that are wearing the T shirts with the guns and things that are like, hey, you know, we’re here, we’re, we’re coming to destroy, you know, it’s it. There’s a big difference between reaching out and hope. And what’s being preached right now by these different groups on the outskirts. And it’s just, it’s a scary scary time we’re in.
Rusty Puttfark
Truly, yeah, church Sunday. It was it was different. I’ve never walked into the church that I go to, and see two or three guys with little squirrely things in their ears. Yeah. And heading up here on Sunday, seeing several, you know, Sheriff’s Department, cars in front of, you know, the Catholic church down the street, a couple other churches on my way. And of course, that was less than a week since, you know, the targeted right? Attack on Christians at the school. And it was like, like, like, I’ve, like I’ve said before, there’s something something different in the atmosphere. And I’ve said, it’s oppressive, and it’s possessive. And I know that. When you read even in the gospels, you know, you talk about the demonic spirits, going from people to swine running off the cliffs. Yeah, that still happens today. It still happens today. As a matter of fact, one of the podcasts I listened to almost on a daily basis is Steve days. He’s incredible. Just incredible. He just made a movie that’s gonna be released April 14, called nefarious. And they had their premiere last night. Senator Ted Cruz was there a lot of those people there. And it’s a Christian movie. But it’s not a Christian movie, because it talks about true possessive activity and what the enemy is trying to do with the foundations of where we’re at. in the world. They had to have little exorcist on the set. Wow. I mean, it was the stories. And I challenge everyone to see that. I mean, it’s gonna be made. It’s a nationwide release, which is a complete God thing. I’ve listened to what’s happened with that movie throughout the throughout the time. But it’s crazy. They literally had to have actresses on the set. And the two lead main actors, weren’t believers when they started. They are now wow. And it’s it’s an incredible the trailer up to show it to you after after this. But everyone that sees it says it’s just going to challenge you to think differently about what’s going on right now in the world. And I think we really need to understand it because I think we’re, we’re in there was a there was a poll that was released. And it talked about the importance of things on this generation, verse 1980s, and, you know, God and family in that kind of thing, we’re down. The only thing that was up was money, people’s love of money. And I think we’ve, we’ve come so far to that. And again, that’s all about self. It’s all about the proclamation, the Bible says everything a man does for the envy of his neighbor. So I think we’re we’re in the situation to where we’re just we get those dopamine hits, by being on whatever the social platforms on and getting likes, and all this other stuff. And that’s what that’s where we’re at. That’s where we’re at. I mean, kids don’t want to work. They don’t want to do anything. I mean, not even kids. People don’t want to work with so it’s hard to find all that. So, I mean, we’re in a really weird time. And like I said, I just feel the atmosphere is different, but I really believe we are under full fledged attack. I mean, I really do. I truly do.
Del Murphy
Yeah, I mean, and you know, in the Scripture, it talks about that the battle we waged is something that we can’t see, you know, that the the battles that are going on is things that we can’t see I think that’s literally what’s happening right now is that, you know, it’s the, it’s the good against evil, the demons against angels type thing of this just trying to, to be, like you said, I think it’s all these different distractions that are going on. And then just the divisiveness, it’s just everything in the media right now is just to divide us as a country, there’s nothing that is I mean, even down to the national anthem, there’s nothing that is bringing us together anymore. There’s nothing that we can because it’s even like, whether it’s athletes in the Olympics, or whatever it is, it’s like, there’s always going to be some type of story about whether they believe in this or believing that to where, okay, we need to get half the people against them. There’s nothing to bring us together anymore as a country. And that’s been the downfall of so many other great empires and countries. And you can just see that happening in America is that, you know, we’re just imploding. And like you said the other day, it’s whether it’s China or Russia, or some of these other countries looking at us, and they’re going, we don’t need to do anything, let’s just, we’ll just hang out watch, because they’re destroying themselves, there’s nothing we need to do to destroy them. That means we don’t need to attack them. Like, they’re, they’re doing this to themselves. So you know, it’s just, you know, it’s it’s rough growing up in an America that you and I remember, as, you know, being proud to be called an American and, you know, being saying, Hey, we were the number one country in the world, and, you know, this is the best place in the world to live and the freedoms that we have. And all of those are under attack this day.
Rusty Puttfark
Truly, I mean, I’ve I’ve found myself lately, having a completely diametrically opposed feel of patriotism that I did when we grew up. Yeah. I mean, we all I mean, again, Republicans and Democrats, but one of my best friend of the world is my grandfather. He was Democrat. Yeah. I was the president, the young Republicans. I mean, we had the greatest discussions. And I’ll tell you this, he was a Kennedy Democrat, which Kennedy was probably one of the greatest presidents that ever lived. I was gonna so you and I both agree on that, for sure. If, if I was around in the 60s, I’d probably be I would be, I would definitely be a Kennedy Democrat. For sure. Which his nephew is thinking about running RFK Jr, which I would seriously consider voting for him. But but that’s the great thing about America, that you can have someone that your mentor, think one thing politically, and you can have the freedom to still be loved and accepted and go off and raise the other party up. Yeah. That was that that’s what America is. And it’s, you know, what, we may disagree on these things on the on the outs. But the stuff in the middle, and we’re gonna lock hands in this together. We’re in it, you know, and there was a, there was a graph the other day that I saw that talked about when you talk about the the people that are in the middle? Yeah, when you look, it was I think it went from 1980 to 2022. And it went from, you know, the, the, if the red was here, and the blue was here, this is a 1980, it was close. Now, it’s like this. And actually, the blue is off even further, or you can understand with all the, you know, the nonsense are doing. But even the red is getting a little bit further. And I think they’re getting further to the right, because the blue is getting way off in left field. And it’s like, Are you kidding me? So I don’t see that ever coming back. I think it’s just gonna get worse. And then now when you have, you know, this Trump indictment or all this other stuff, now, you’re taking the the Justice Department, and you’re gonna start suing whoever’s whoever’s in power is going to is going to start prosecuting you know, the minority party. Yeah. That’s, that’s the end of the country.
Del Murphy
Definitely not the way the, you know, our forefathers had envisioned the way this country was, you know, like you said, I mean, it’s just, it was it was, there was always disagreements, you know, with the other side, but it was never anything like this. You know, it was like, you know, you could see Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, on the same stage, shaking hands laughing together, you know, and they’re going to each other’s libraries, you know, and doing things and promoting each other, because they’re still human beings, and they’re still middle ground and we’re Americans. They’re both Americans, right? Whereas now, it’s like, you know, you wouldn’t dream of seeing Biden and Trump standing up there and laughing together and shaking hands, you know?
Rusty Puttfark
Nope. And we all We’ll made fun of a guy that was a community organizer. Yeah. And I think that I don’t ever remember race relations being poor, early. I think race relations got poor after he came into office. I truly believe he was the great divider. I really do. Because think about think about before he got in there. Racism wasn’t like a big deal. Right. I think it was ginned up and it was, we’re going to tell you that these people were racist and all this other stuff. Yeah. You know, I mean, I think I think it’s an industry. And you look at the Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson’s and these kinds of things. I mean, they make money off of right off of that. And so they’ve obviously been out of the news for a long time, I think. I think the Reverend owl is over on MSNBC. But I, to me, I mean, I grew up having to be told by my barber that I wasn’t black. Because I took a picture of Herschel Walker, who I didn’t realize play for the Georgia Bulldogs to my barber, and I’m like, I want my hair cut like him. And she’s like, I can’t do that. And I’m like, why? She’s like, well, black people have different hair than white people. And I was like, what? Right? I was devastated. Because, like he I loved Herschel Walker. And like, that’s, that’s like, I don’t think kids grow up knowing that and understanding that. But now when you grow up in this just vitriol and just hate in just this, the world that’s being you’re told you’re a victim, and victims are celebrated victims are the squeaky wheel victims are elevated. They use that victim position and victimhood to rise to the top and get what they want. And that’s that’s nuts to me, man. Because I was always raised. I think we were raised. Like I had this, this whole book series. And it was, it was about Jackie Robinson and about the things he had to overcome. And why we should look up to him because he overcame them and did did well. And I think it was guy named Terry Fox, who ran the first guy to run a marathon with a prosthetic leg and why we should, you know, look up to him and try to follow him because he went through the pain and all this other stuff. But he still did. And he accomplished his goal. Yeah. And the people that it’s harder for, like, those are the people to be celebrated. Not the people that just sit back and do nothing, do nothing. And okay, so these are the people we raise up, right.
Del Murphy
Yeah, you’re crazy. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it’s tough. Because like you said, it’s we need to look for those people that deserve to be celebrated. You know, it’s like, like, the Jackie Robinson is like the Hank Aaron’s like the people, you know, that overcame a lot. And it doesn’t matter what their race was, doesn’t doesn’t matter if they’re black, white, purple doesn’t doesn’t matter. You know, it’s like, if they overcame something in their life, they should be celebrated for sure. You know, and so, but now, it’s just that if you’re not this color, or you’re not of this persuasion, or whatever it may be, it’s like, you’re vilified. Now, you know, no matter no matter what, and then instead of us going back to the core of we’re human beings, like, celebrate the fact that we’re human beings. And we’re all we all have to live in this world together, you know, and so why do we need to hate each other? You know, there needs to be more of the celebration of each other and not not the division that’s, that’s going on. And we’re allowing, again, I think this, a lot of the mainstream media is just causing this divisiveness just every day, whether it’s through social media, or TV or whatever it is, you know, just causing this division to go on within the world.
Rusty Puttfark
is interesting. I had to put, I had to pick up something from my grandmother the other day, and I was riding with a guy that knew my dad, my dad’s passed, but he knew my dad, and he went high school with him. And so we’re going over Winter Haven. And he was telling me all the stories, you know, he was talking about, you know, my dad was such a good athlete and a 70 Other. He said, I gotta tell you, he goes, the one thing I’ll never forget is he said, In football, the black kids and the white kids were always practice separate. But they play together. And he goes, I’ll never forget one day. Your dad was out there, and he just looked at everybody. And he goes, screw this. I think he said different words, but you’re gonna screw this. And he goes, Why are we playing together? But we’re practicing separate. Because if this is how we’re doing, I guess I’m out. And I think you know, and at that point, it ended. They all practice together. They all played together. Yeah. And that was the end of segregated practices. Because I think you, you know, you see, I mean, you got to depend on these guys in the foxhole while you’re practicing separately. with them right when you’re not in the foxhole, you know? Yeah. And I didn’t know that till recently. But I know my grandmother. She had a black lady that would come and clean the house every, every Friday, Miss Annie. And I remember, she was always I mean, you’d walk in that house Friday, and it was like chemical smell. I mean, it was the most clean. You can eat off the floor. It was I mean, Miss Annie was such a nice lady. Her son was killed by another shooting out there. I mean, she was. She was she was in her 70s back then. And that was back in then. It was it. It was back in the 90s. And I remember I would go over there sometimes. In the summer, I’d be over there hanging out. My grandfather and I we play golf and hang out together. And when Miss Annie would get ready to go home, would she take the bus over? Early in the morning? And then she want to take the bus home? And I’m like, No, I’ll take you. And so my grandparents had a Lincoln towncar back then. So I’m like, alright, I’ll drive this thing because it’s I mean, it was it was a bland yacht, right? Yeah. And Miss Annie, we get in the back. And I’m told him to get out of the back. Come in the front. Of course. I’m a 16 year old kid. And she’s gonna No, sir. Don’t call me sir. Are you kidding me? She’s like, Oh, no. And I say Oh, I turned the car off at all. I think the cars has trouble. If we get out, and I had a truck, you know, with with a single seat, I’m gonna we have to take my truck was handy. I’m not driving a lady in the back seat. Like, like an entitled white guy driving. I mean, that’s not how I thought I’m like, you get the front seat with me? Yeah. Like, we’re not different. I mean, whatever. So I drive her home and everything like that. So she wouldn’t take the bus. But that’s how we used to all thing. I never. I never even remotely at that point in time thought. Wonder how insanely voted. They voted Right? Or anything like that. I just thought I respect her. I think she’s an amazing woman. She’s always treated me nice. I tried to be nice to her. I know. She, you know, helps my family. Yeah. And I mean, we’ve gone we’ve gone down through the roof. But the crazy part is, is back when we grew up. We didn’t have journalists that were or news organizations, wherever that was just twist in the screws on. Yeah, on partisan politics. That’s nuts, man. Yeah, it’s the problem. I mean, I don’t know. I mean, I I go on Twitter every once in awhile and and look in. It’s just nuts. I mean, it’s crazy, literally crazy, that where we are now having to choose where we get our information based on, you know, partisan affiliation, and know that these these hyper partisan journalists. Yeah, I mean,
Del Murphy
you can turn on three or four different shows with the same topic. And there’s the different spin on every single one, to whether you know, whether it’s the Trump indictment, or whether it’s Nashville or whatever it is. And one way has it all the way over here, and another way has it all the way over here. You know, it’s just amazing. And, of course, people’s partisans, and their politics are usually going to determine where they’re going to for their news. And so it’s going to continue them even further down that path, which is what they’re, they’re trying to get those people riled up, you know, and, and so it’s just there’s no, there’s no middle of the road because used to it was like, Hey, if you want the middle of the road, you look good. Like CNN, like CNN would be middle of the road. Yeah, you know, Fox would be over here, MSNBC, but now it’s just there’s no middle of the road anymore, for whatever it is, because it’s just, it’s always all the way here all the way here. There’s no one that’s just like, you know, you remember back in the day, man, we would turn on the news. And it was just they report this news. Yeah, like just the facts. Like nothing like, hey, we want you to believe this, or this, this, this, this person, this, just, here’s what happened, you know, and let you decide as the American public and it’s like, we don’t have that anymore. It’s like they’re telling us what they want us to believe and how they want us to believe it and how they want us to react. And that’s the problem is, is then you have especially these hyper liberal or hyper, you know, people that are way far right, that are just like going to take it well beyond what it ever should be. And, and so it’s just sad to see again, where we’ve gone as a nation. And you know, you can only hope that there’s some way to come back, but it just it seems there’s a real there’s a real gloom, you know, to where you’re just like, Man, I don’t see a ray of light right now of how we’re going to come back from this of the way we’re going right now.
Rusty Puttfark
Yeah, I mean, when you even look at their stuff that we’re not gonna get to tonight. And I’m glad we didn’t, yeah, be honest with you. But there was there was this one article of I actually bring this up real quick, because this was when you talk about the news and we Talk about Nashville and all that other stuff, the trans transgender shooter and this stuff, but fact checking with the news. It’s all bought and paid for. Yeah, I mean, I looked at I think there’s Politifact, which is based out of Tampa, Tampa Bay Times or The St. Pete times, whatever that is. That’s a privately funded organization. But when you look at who the donors are to make that happen, it’s the Soros Foundation. It’s Pfizer, literally. I mean, we talk about that. It’s it. That is what it is. But there was this one, this fact check after Nashville. Trump’s suggest always trump right. But he’s always right, right. I’m not a supporter of Trump, but he’s always right on this kind of stuff. Trump suggests transgender drugs fueled national shooter. Okay. statements that the shooter was transgender have led to polarizing comments about gender identity, a topic that has dominated the public conversation the past year. Oh, has it while discussing school shootings. During a televised broadcast, former President Donald Trump suggested that clinical treatment for gender transitioning could have played a role in the Nashville killings. Now, again, the news now is supposed to cover all this stuff. Right? If you say there, the news put a moratorium on even calling the shooter transgender. Yeah, you can’t do it. So Trump, here it was BREAKING Trump praises Nashville police response. It was incredible. Got to say the police response was incredible. Says the shooters aggression was caused by gender home hormone treatments. And that’s why he banned trans in the military. And attach clip Trump says, you know, when you have the unusual case yesterday, what happened with this person and the anger that was caused? That’s something I banned it in the military because of the drugs, the amount of drugs I have to take is so incredible. When it comes to fact check, Trump provided no evidence that hormone treatments could affect violent tendencies, or other behaviors, any and any claim that the National shooter was taking drugs unsubstantiated, although later report came out and says he was in emotional, psychiatric treatment. He she I don’t know what Right, right, it. Furthermore, media reports say that Hale was transgender were based on police statement and the testimony of an unnamed source. It is not clear those assertions originated or what they were based on. So now they’re even trying to deny that that it was transgender, right? Yeah. So I’m the guy that looks at this and says, All right, we’ll see because I know for a fact that I’ve read in the past, hormone therapy creates aggression. So we’re gonna go to what is it pubmed.gov This is Anthony Fauci has National Institute of Health. Does testosterone treatment, increase anger, expression and population of transgender men? So I pulled this up, right? The acquisition of phenotypic male features and trans men with gender dysphoria This is the background requires testosterone treatment. That’s what happens when you go through this crazy stuff that Biden’s pushing at any age, right? They were trying to say is not for children, but he says at any age, three year old, who’s thinks he’s Superman sheara, or whatever it now thinks he’s whatever the suppression of menses one which I don’t know what that means, the relation between testosterone levels and human aggression behavior has been described. However, the effects of testosterone on anger especially have been poorly investigated in trans persons. So they do a study the results a significant increase in Sta x i anger expression and anger control scores from t zero to t one was recorded. Patients with persistent bleedings and Axis one disorder seem to have higher odds of expressing anger. Conclusion, this study demonstrates that during seven months of continuous gender affirming hormone treatment, anger expression and anger, arousal control increased in trans men. Continuous psychological support to trans men during gender affirming hormone or treatment was useful to prevent angry behaviors and decrease the level of dysphoria. So he’s right again. Yeah, but you have the news out there trying to play cover for all this stuff. It’s the craziest stuff you ever seen in your life? Yeah. So it’s like, but no one’s gonna do what I did. No one’s gonna go to PubMed or do another research study and say, okay, is this right, right? It’s just the Oh, Orange Man is crazy. You know, it’s, I mean, what do you do with that?
Del Murphy
Yeah, yeah, it’s like you said, I mean, everybody that’s watching or listening to the podcast, it’s like, do your own research, like, you know, don’t just take what we’re saying, you know, as truth you know, and don’t take what the government or take what the media is telling you is truth. Either go out and research, do all your research and like you said, you did, it’s not like you went to a right wing. You know, So website, conservative website to try to get your information National Institute of Health, right? So I mean, it’s like, Hey, you went directly to a source that’s supposed to be the leader. And to tell you what the truth is, and it’s right there.
Rusty Puttfark
But Kim Kardashian didn’t post that on Twitter. So no one’s gonna know about it. Right? Exactly. Oh, no, it’s, and again, I think education is the most powerful instrument we have. And we did that I’ve cited this before. But I mean, Joe, and I did a deal on psych psychology. I’m just, I’m a, I’m a huge fan of psychology. Yeah. And they had this study the Milford experiment, where they took a person in a white lab coat, this is in the 50s, they would definitely not be allowed to do this now. But then they had an actor in the other room that was acting like he was getting shocked. And then they had the subject in there, so that you had the the person of authority that was an actor, the, the, the patient that was an actor and the subject that was a real person. Yeah. So they would ask him questions, and they would say, Okay, if he gets it wrong, you have to hit this button to shock him. And as he gets more questions wrong, you have to increase the level of shock to almost a lethal amount. Now, when it was one person, the subject and the person have authority, over like, 70% of the subjects, they did this multiple people almost went up to the lethal level before they would question. Like, they were shocking when this guy in the room was yelling, and going nuts. But he was like, Okay, do this. So now you see how the Nazis pull it off? The people in Cambodia and the Killing Fields pulled it off. And if you don’t think that people are just as sin natured today, as they were back then, right. It’s, it’s crazy. But when they put another person in the room that would ask the subject, don’t you think you shouldn’t do this? It went down to 20%. Yeah. So it decreased by 50%. And that’s why they were trying to take all the information off about COVID. That’s where they’re trying to take any of that stuff off. Because they didn’t want a dissenting opinion. They didn’t want someone to be there to challenge them to say, maybe you shouldn’t do this. Because it’s dropped dramatically, at that point. And so that was that was that was something that we, we always see. But again, no one will do it on their own. And again, I mean, that’s why we put that’s what we have. That’s what we have a website, independent of Twitter, YouTube, all this other stuff. That right there is when we got banned from YouTube, because we presented information that’s factual today, but a consensus of local health experts. That’s what YouTube said. You couldn’t say anything that was against the consensus of local health experts. So they they killed us. Yeah. And so I’ve printed I just made that thing for us getting banned. But now, we will be allowed to say that, right. But we got banned, because we said it back then. And like I said, I put my record up against Anthony Fauci against Joe Biden, against Deborah Birx. against any anybody, the CEO of Pfizer. I’ll put it up against anybody. Yeah, at this point. That’s where we’re at.
Del Murphy
Yep. Sure. Crazy, crazy times, man. And really, like you said, people just go out, do their own research and, you know, come to their own conclusions, instead of allowing somebody else to tell them how to think or feel.
Rusty Puttfark
I’m gonna go home tonight, and everybody’s gonna be parked in the street. pulled back in the driveway, I’m gonna pull back in the driveway. I assure him. That’s what I’m going to do. But Well, man, it’s great to have you here,
Del Murphy
man. Glad to be back.
Rusty Puttfark
I’m excited because we’re going to be consistent in this. Yep. And it’s just been tough. You know, pulling the pulling the sled by watch. It’s always better dialogues better and what’s better, and we’ve got we’ve got some good guests coming on. We got John Gordon coming on confirmed. DALE WATSON coming on, confirmed, nice. Couple other people coming on confirmed. So we’re gonna have a lot of good stuff. And then hopefully, we were talking about some merch, merchandise little bit earlier. So maybe we can get that going. Sounds like I’ll leave that to you. Pick it up. All right. Well, anyway,
Del Murphy
tell the people let us know what they want. You know, yeah, there’s something that they’ve seen, like what those hats you usually have on or something like that. Let us know. So we, so we know what what the demand is? Yeah, for sure.
Rusty Puttfark
And we’ve, we, you know, it’s been awesome. If you’re still watching at this point. You’re awesome. But, uh, but we got a lot of really good feedback, you know, in the last podcast, and I’ve got a couple emails. And there was an email that was really interesting that I got the other day as it was talked about, why do people consider white Christians as racists? And so I’ll forward that to you because I think we I think that’s a whole show, to be honest with you, because I pulled up some stats the other day on world Miche. After I got that, and world missions and all this stuff, that’s a whole nother thing, but, but I love the interactivity with our audience and stuff. And so the feedback is always appreciated. And like I said, Good to have you on and we will, we’re gonna we’re gonna just take this and keep going. Sounds good. All right. All right.
