Walker Wildmon: Welcome to At the Core here on American Family Radio. Glad to have you with us on this edition of At the Core. I'm Walker Wildmon. The show is hosted each week by myself and Rick Green.
Walker Wildmon: Well, let's turn our attention to the Scripture. Acts chapter 21 is where we have been this week. Here, Paul is basically being convinced not to go to Jerusalem and not to continue proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ by some of his friends and associates, specifically this gentleman named Agabus.
Walker Wildmon: This prophet named Agabus, in Acts chapter 21, verses 10 and 11, says, "When he had come to us, he took Paul's belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, 'Thus says the Holy Spirit: So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'"
Walker Wildmon: Verse 12 says, "Now when we had heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, 'What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.'"
Walker Wildmon: Here we have Paul being warned of the danger of his journey, but Paul knew that the right thing to do, the courageous thing to do, and the faithful thing to do was to continue on his journey to Jerusalem to witness to the Jews. So he does that, and he sticks to it regardless of the cost.
Walker Wildmon: In today's context, we can take an ounce of encouragement from Paul and the fact that he knew the cost, he counted the cost, but he continued being faithful to the calling that God had on his life. We ought to be able to do the same. If we can display even a portion of the courage that Paul had, God will use that for mighty things.
Walker Wildmon: That's Acts chapter 21, verses 10 through 12.
Walker Wildmon: Let's jump into some of our content for today's program. The Democrats are itching to impeach President Trump for what seems like the tenth time when you count the first administration and now. It will probably get into the three- or four-range, to be serious, on the number of times the Democrats have attempted to impeach President Trump.
Walker Wildmon: Representative Al Green, a Democrat, brings up articles of impeachment about as much as he eats dinner, which is about daily. He is on the move again. If you had any doubts about whether the Democrats would try to impeach President Trump should they regain control of the House of Representatives, look no further than Representative Al Green presenting his articles of impeachment, probably for the hundredth time.
Speaker: I rise to give notice of my intention to offer a question of the privileges of the House. The form of the resolution is as follows: H. Res. 1486, impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Speaker: Resolved, that Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, as he has violated Article II, Section 1, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution.
Walker Wildmon: There you have it. That's Representative Al Green presenting once again articles of impeachment before the House of Representatives. Of course, this resolution didn't go anywhere. But if there were Democrats in control of the House, you better believe it would go somewhere, because no Democrat would dare go against the party and the Democratic Party leaders when it comes to impeachment. They would be fully on board with impeaching President Trump.
Walker Wildmon: The more I think about the midterms, the more clarity I have on what we're actually voting about. If you listen to the talking points out there and the different elected officials and politicians trying to convince you what they can do for you, I think this is in some ways the problem: voters are constantly looking for what Washington can do for them. How can Washington help them?
Walker Wildmon: Washington definitely has some work to do, in the sense that over the course of a half-century or more, Washington's elected officials and bureaucrats have created somewhat of a mess through overregulation, overtaxation, and the overexpansion of government. We have agencies that exist that shouldn't exist under the Constitution and the charter. There are things that Washington does need to do. Mainly, it needs to shrink the size of government.
Walker Wildmon: I'm not completely excusing Washington, but the counterpoint that I want to offer this election cycle is that I think we should look at elections a little differently. I don't think we should look at what Washington can do for us. I think we should look at this as, "Who's going to leave me alone?"
Walker Wildmon: I don't want Washington busy trying to do things just for the sake of doing things in Washington. Why? Because when you look back over the last several decades, the vast majority of what Washington has done legislatively has just been bad: Obamacare, expanding the welfare state, passing bloated trillion-dollar spending bills, passing kickbacks and pork funding, mass migration, and the list goes on.
Walker Wildmon: When you look at the two parties, who is going to encroach upon my liberties, my rights, and my abilities more? Who is going to leave people to live their lives, work hard, earn a living, and do honorable things? That's what we need to be looking at. That's how we need to be looking at this.
Walker Wildmon: I actually don't want Washington doing more to help me, because its version of helping me actually doesn't help me. We don't need more regulation. We don't need more legislation. As a matter of fact, we need less.
Walker Wildmon: That's what I would argue is on the ballot this November: which party is going to get its hands off my pocketbook, not try to encroach upon my liberties and rights, not try to expand government into every aspect of American life, and which party wants to do those things.
Walker Wildmon: I don't want a $5,000 check from the government. I don't want Congress to try to make things affordable, because its track record, my friends, is just terrible on this stuff.
Walker Wildmon: I also want to put the ball back in the court of the American citizen and the American voter. I've about had enough of the moaning, groaning, complaining, and blaming everybody: blaming Washington, blaming politics, blaming this, and blaming that.
Walker Wildmon: This American system, even as flawed as it is, this American legal and economic system that we live in, and this constitutional republic that we live in, gives people the best likelihood of success in all areas of life, not just economically, but otherwise, of any other nation on the planet. It's not even close.
Walker Wildmon: It is a proven fact that people who have integrity, who work hard, who are willing to do the right thing, who are good stewards of that which God has entrusted to them, who have ingenuity, and who have a good work ethic can be very successful in America if they do those things.
Walker Wildmon: I think the future is not, "What can Washington do for me? How much money can they send me? What kind of government program can I get signed up for?" I think we need to take individual responsibility for our families, our neighborhoods, our communities, our churches, our towns, our cities, and our states. We need to do the right thing. We need to flourish. We need to love our neighbor, be good citizens, and quit waiting on Washington to fix our problems.
Walker Wildmon: We only got to one clip in the last segment, and you shouldn't be surprised, because I do tend to talk pretty frequently. Let's continue our discussion of what's going on and what's at stake on the ballot this November.
Walker Wildmon: Vice President Vance positioned this midterm as an election between common-sense candidates and crazy candidates. He made the proposition in Dallas, at the first-ever midterm GOP convention, that what is on the ballot is common sense, sanity, and normalcy, or craziness. That's pretty much what Vice President Vance summarized in his speech.
Walker Wildmon: When you hear this clip, you will be able to resonate with that sentiment and put a little bit of fact behind it. James Talarico is running for the U.S. Senate seat in Texas against Ken Paxton, the attorney general. James Talarico's track record on the issues of our day is not very good. It's very liberal, and there is a litany of evidence to back up his liberal positions. This one on transgenderism is no different.
Walker Wildmon: This is a committee hearing where, when James Talarico was a lawmaker, he called people who believe in God's design for human sexuality abusers, guilty of child abuse.
Speaker: I think there are some folks who would think that if you deny your child's gender identity, that's incredibly harmful. Whether or not we can label it with the term abuse, it's abusive, for sure. That's where I think some of us have concerns, and I don't want to speak for other members.
Speaker: Should it say that it should include a person's willingness or unwillingness not only to challenge gender, or should it be silent as to whether that is abuse, whether it needs it at all?
Speaker: My concern is that ruling it out as not being abuse is dangerous and could certainly harm some of our most vulnerable kids in the state.
Walker Wildmon: You see where we're going here, folks. The mom and dad who don't want to cater to their child's gender dysphoria are child abusers. You see how twisted the ideology here is? You see how dangerous this is?
Walker Wildmon: When the vice president says this is an election between normalcy and insanity, and then you listen to that clip, it immediately makes sense. It immediately clicks.
Walker Wildmon: That was James Talarico telling a committee that we need to leave this on the table. The definition of parents who refuse to acknowledge their child's gender dysphoria, call them by different pronouns and names, and use cross-sex hormones and all of this is that we ought to be able to label them as child abusers. That's what James Talarico said at that committee hearing.
Walker Wildmon: This isn't theory. This isn't hypothetical. Folks, this gender ideology is wicked, it's dangerous, and it is at our doorstep.
Walker Wildmon: There is no other way to describe this than demonic, because as a society, those who adopt this radical, nonscientific gender ideology of transgenderism, homosexuality, LGBTQ, and the plus, whatever that means, are embracing something ungodly, unnatural, and unscientific, in direct rejection of known truths and the natural law before our very eyes.
Walker Wildmon: But back to the harms. Not only do they want to call parents who believe in God's design for human sexuality abusers, they also want to take our kids.
Walker Wildmon: I've got a story out of Massachusetts where this has actually happened. If you've been thinking for years that the people warning about this are overstating it, overdramatizing it, and that this would never happen in America, folks, it is happening. This is why this radical political movement should be defeated.
Walker Wildmon: As I've said before, we should not let these people within a thousand miles of positions of power. We have the ability. We can't control what everyone thinks, says, or believes, and that's not what I'm suggesting.
Walker Wildmon: What I am telling you is that as American citizens and voters, we do have the full authority and control, under our Constitution and our God-given rights, to pick our leaders in our country. We can, as a people, roundly reject these supposed leaders and politicians who reject God's design for human sexuality and embrace utter wickedness. That is fully within the control of you and me and voters in this country.
Walker Wildmon: Here's a horrific story in Massachusetts of parents having their daughter taken away from them because they do not adopt her pronouns and her gender transition that, guess who, the school decided would be a great idea.
Reporter: The devout Catholic family in Massachusetts is locked in a huge legal fight to stop the state from transitioning their teen daughter to a boy without their consent. Lauren Green has more on this story here in New York. What have you found out, Lauren? Good morning.
Reporter: Joseph and Arlene Cutsko haven't spoken to their daughter since the end of 2024, after the Department of Children and Families removed her from their home. The family claims it was because of their Catholic faith, which would not allow them to affirm their daughter as a boy.
Reporter: An emotional Joseph Cutsko read the birthday card his daughter Sophie gave him in October 2024: "Without you, I would have nothing. So wholeheartedly, fully sincerely, I love you with no end."
Reporter: Less than three months later, child services removed Sophie from their home and accused them of abuse. The Cutsko family says their daughter's school, Algonquin Regional High School in Southborough, Massachusetts, exposed Sophie to a culture steeped in gender ideology. They blamed the school counselor for socially transitioning their daughter to become a boy without their knowledge or permission. They claimed the counselor contacted child services. The school had no comment regarding the allegations.
Reporter: You start with school policies that refuse to inform parents when a child rejects their sex and claims another identity. That's part of a system that starts everything down the rabbit hole.
Reporter: In this case, the school then reported these parents to DCF. So there was a direct school-to-DCF pipeline, as we have seen elsewhere.
Reporter: DCF has assumed guardianship of their daughter. A permanent restraining order remains against Arlene and Joseph and Sophie's older brother. Her father and mother are distraught.
Parent: Mama, I miss you. Please come home.
Parent: Mama, I miss you. Please. I'm begging you, please.
Reporter: We reached out to DCF for comment, but they have not yet responded. Last Friday, a judge temporarily blocked the state from giving Sophie a high dose of testosterone, and the next court date is October 29.
Walker Wildmon: That's the true horror story going on in Massachusetts as we speak, where the state has taken the child, the daughter, and placed a restraining order on the family because they don't want to go along with the gender insanity.
Walker Wildmon: What I'm waiting on is the first governor from a state that has its head on right who is going to offer this family and daughter asylum and refuse extradition. That's what I would do. Governor DeSantis, Governor Reeves, Governor Abbott: Which governor is going to step up to the plate and say that this family can have asylum in their state?
Walker Wildmon: That's what it's going to boil down to. We're going to have to choose: Where do we want to live? Do we want to live in tyranny, or do we want to live in freedom?
Walker Wildmon: This is why I'm somewhat hopeful about the future of America. The people we're running against, the anti-common-sense crowd, are so off the rocker, so crazy, and so loony that I would think there are enough people in this country who can roundly reject them taking control of the country.
Walker Wildmon: Unfortunately, we have pockets of America like Massachusetts and California. There are a handful of places where you just don't want to be.
Walker Wildmon: On the other side, there are 30 or 35 states that have common-sense leaders, law and order, and thriving local and state economies. The criminals are locked up, the education systems are improving, and taxation is affordable or nonexistent in some instances.
Walker Wildmon: We're going to have to decide as a people where we want to spend our time and our energy. Do we want to live in a state where we constantly have to look over our shoulder because our very freedoms are being threatened, our very rights as parents are being threatened, and our rights in this instance are being outright taken away?
Walker Wildmon: As a brief reminder, this is what happens when a culture or society rejects God. The logical conclusion, or the domino effect, of rejecting a sovereign Creator and God to whom we are accountable as people is lawlessness, dysfunction, and utter insanity.
Walker Wildmon: Disorder is the broadest term to be used here. This is utter societal disorder. Instead of government punishing the evildoer and promoting righteousness, it's the opposite. It's government punishing righteousness and promoting and rewarding the evildoer.
Walker Wildmon: In this instance, unfortunately, the state, the government, is the evildoer by taking this child from the parents and punishing the parents for not going along with gender dysphoria and this wicked gender ideology.
Walker Wildmon: The Democratic Party at large has no capacity to self-correct. It has no capacity to restrain itself. Why? Because in large part, its party has been given over to the godless, the pagans, and wicked people. I can play clip after clip that bears that out.
Walker Wildmon: On the other hand, you look at the Republicans and say, "I'm just not too excited about the Republicans." Well, I don't get excited about any politicians, to be honest with you.
Walker Wildmon: As I said in the first segment, we ought not be looking to Washington and our state capitals to bail us out or fix all our problems. I need politicians to stay out of meddling in things that they have no God-given or constitutional right to meddle in.
Walker Wildmon: Government's primary function, according to the biblical mandate, is to punish the evildoer and uphold a society of righteousness. That's civil government's basic function. We could get deeper into the weeds on what that actually looks like, but what our founders envisioned was a civil government that protects life, liberty, and property.
Walker Wildmon: Once again, it protects, not provides: protects life, liberty, and property.
Walker Wildmon: Now we have a government going around taking people's kids, running this massive welfare state, running all these social programs, meddling in the private sector, controlling the economy, manipulating employment and interest rates, manipulating borrowing and inflation, and printing money. The government is way over its skis here.
Walker Wildmon: They're trying to meddle and do things that God never intended civil government to do. We need less government, less intervention, and a return to the core functions of civil government: protecting life, liberty, and property.
Walker Wildmon: Those are biblical precepts that God created civil government to carry out, and that's what we must get back to. We don't need government to make things affordable. We don't need government to send everybody a check. We don't need government to do anything that is not constitutionally mandated or biblically ordained.
Walker Wildmon: When the state goes from punishing the evildoer to rewarding the evildoer, it is the responsibility of voters, in this instance and in this context, to stage a revolution.
Walker Wildmon: Thank the Lord, we can stage a revolution at the ballot box to solve many of these problems that we're facing as a society. We have been given the opportunity, and we still have it today, despite what people say, to peacefully vote the insane people out of office.
Walker Wildmon: If we don't do that, if we sit on our hands and make excuses, moan and groan and complain, or put our heads in the sand, guess who is responsible for that? We are.
Walker Wildmon: I played multiple clips earlier in the show showing the level of disconnect that many elected officials have with their governments, and in the case of Massachusetts, with common sense.
Walker Wildmon: This clip I'm going to play now, before we pivot and talk about other subjects, is the bow on the topic of local government losing, or falling off, its rocking chair, so to speak.
Walker Wildmon: Fairfax County Public Schools, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11, instructed their teachers on the politically correct way to discuss 9/11. If you wonder what people mean when they criticize political correctness, and what an example of this self-censorship is, this example is perfect.
Walker Wildmon: Fairfax County Schools is instructing teachers on how best to talk about 9/11, but let's not offend Muslims while we're talking about 9/11.
Reporter: Virginia's largest school district is under scrutiny for what it is leaving out of lessons on the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Specifically, Fairfax County Public Schools have directed teachers not to associate the September 11 attacks with Islam or Muslims, despite the fact that those deadly terrorist attacks were carried out by Islamic extremists.
Reporter: Our Nick Minock joins us live in Fairfax County. He's got more on this story, with some reaction from parents as well. Nick?
Reporter: Parents told me they are shocked that their school system is prioritizing some kind of misplaced political correctness over accurately portraying what actually happened 25 years ago, when al-Qaeda terrorists attacked America.
Reporter: Fairfax County is just a few miles from the Pentagon, where 184 people lost their lives when hijackers flew an American Airlines jet into the building during the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Reporter: Now, 25 years later, Fairfax County Public Schools' do's and don'ts regarding teaching students about al-Qaeda's murder of thousands of Americans direct teachers not to associate the 9/11 attacks with Islam or Muslims and not to center instruction on the extremists or the acts of the extremists.
Walker Wildmon: This is the rewriting of history before our very eyes. The wickedness here is hard to explain, because not only are we facing an anniversary of one of the worst Islamic terror attacks on the American homeland, but now we are facing a modern, renewed threat of massive Islamic immigration into the homeland, an importation of a people and an ideology that are fundamentally at odds with the American way of life, the American system, and our form of government, not to mention the religion of our founding fathers, Christianity.
Walker Wildmon: Now we're telling students, "You know what? It wasn't really Muslims who did it. We don't know what their motivation was. They were some fringe element, some radical group." A radical group of what? Muslims.
Walker Wildmon: What's even more frustrating is that we don't tiptoe around any other religion other than Islam. Islam is the religion about which we all have to walk on eggshells. But if we want to criticize Christianity or Christian history, talk about the Crusades, or discuss the faith of our founding fathers, those are all fair game. Let's have those debates and conversations. It's not going to offend me. I don't care.
Walker Wildmon: I'm not a snowflake, and Christians aren't snowflakes. We can debate things and talk about history. We can admit when things are done wrong. But when it comes to Islam, we can't talk about Muslims. We can't acknowledge the fact that the hijackers were motivated by the Quran or the fact that America, for 300 years, has been dealing with Muslim terrorists.
Walker Wildmon: For a brief history lesson, I would encourage you to read about the Barbary pirates. Read about why the United States needed a navy to begin with as such a young nation. Why would we need a navy when we have massive expanses of water between us and our foreign adversaries? Because the Muslim pirates kept stealing our products and goods. They kept attacking and sinking our ships because they wanted us to pay a toll. They wanted to extort us during our free trade in international waters.
Walker Wildmon: That's 300 years ago. Even before we had the Declaration of Independence, this was a problem. Now, 250 or 300 years later, what are we doing? We're trying to fight Iran, the Muslims, because they want to tax every ship that traverses international waters through the Strait of Hormuz. They're using the same tactics the Barbary pirates used. Not much has changed.
Walker Wildmon: Now Fairfax County Schools wants us all to act as though we're not sure what motivated the hijackers on 9/11. We're not sure what faith they were. We definitely can't say anything about Islam or Muslims because of all the people we might offend.
Walker Wildmon: But notice this narrative about offending people, sensitivity, and diversity. It's a complete one-way street. When Democrats attack our founding fathers, talk about how bad Christianity is, and say that MAGA extremists are evil, they don't have a problem with offending us.
Walker Wildmon: But if we want to talk about the Muslim terrorists on 9/11, we can't do that because somebody might get offended. That is a prime example of political correctness.
Walker Wildmon: Let's talk about solutions, because one of the main problems and one of the main reasons we're in this situation, with millions of Muslims in the country, is mass migration, both legal and illegal, but mostly, in the instance of Muslims, legal. For years, our country has been importing millions of legal immigrants who are also Muslims.
Walker Wildmon: Europe has unfortunately fallen victim to this mass-migration agenda, and its leaders are finally taking note. I came across a clip on X of a lawyer from Europe who is leading a movement against this mass immigration. This is her assessment of how most immigrants vote, which is liberal, and of the solution to preserve Western civilization: remigration.
Speaker: Yes, the left is losing ground, but what did they do? They're not stupid. They import new voters. We cannot sleep on that fact, because we can say that the native white populations of Europe are becoming more and more right-wing. They're waking up to it. They know there aren't 73 genders. That may have worked in 2018, but not anymore.
Speaker: All of that's true, but the left isn't sleeping. They're importing their voters in really large numbers. We can talk about freedom of expression all we want, but democracy is 51 percent, and we're voted out. If you're no longer a majority in your own country, how will democracy work for you then?
Speaker: That's why I will end on two notes. What we need is the abolishment of the EU, and the second is remigration.
Walker Wildmon: There you have it. That is a very good assessment of what the solution here is: remigration.
Walker Wildmon: What we're talking about here is people who are on temporary stays and temporary visas who are not American citizens. Thankfully, the State Department has paused, permanently for now, all visa applications so we can vet this and figure out how many people we want to continue letting into this country.
Walker Wildmon: When you look at the voting record and ideology of many of these immigrants, both legal and illegal, it does not align with the preservation of Western civilization. Europe is in the throes of it right now, and in some ways, America is as well.
Walker Wildmon: President Trump has made this one of his key campaign strategies going back to 2015 and 2016: mass deportations of noncitizens. This is 100 percent fair game and 100 percent legal.
Walker Wildmon: There are a variety of problems that are solved by remigration, one of which is immediate relief for government systems. President Biden, people dispute or debate these numbers, but there is no doubt that President Biden led in millions of people. I would say four to six million minimum, probably more like 10 million or more over his four-year tenure.
Walker Wildmon: The Trump administration claims more like 15 or 20 million. I don't know about that number, but I can tell you for sure that if you look at border apprehensions alone, you're looking at four to five million. That's a very conservative number. It doesn't capture the people who got through the border and weren't captured.
Walker Wildmon: Then we found out that President Biden was flying illegal immigrants into the country by the planeload, equaling hundreds of thousands. How is that not illegal?
Walker Wildmon: Mass migration, and at this point remigration and mass deportation, are just getting started. There is a lot of runway left here, my friends. This is why controlling the executive branch matters.
Walker Wildmon: I mentioned the relief on government services and community services that remigration provides. It also frees up the labor market.
Walker Wildmon: One reason, not the only reason, that we have seven million working-age men on the sidelines and out of the labor market is that they are having a hard time finding a good-paying job. Why? Because corporate America, lobbyists, and special interests have loved importing cheap foreign labor. It's a fact, both legal and illegal.
Walker Wildmon: Just to give you these numbers, if you think they are inconsequential, my friends, this is a major problem. In fiscal year 2024 alone, we imported over six million temporary workers who flooded the American labor market. We wonder why working-age men are having trouble finding a good, solid-paying job. They're competing with six million foreign laborers imported into the country who will work for minimum wage or maybe a little bit more.
Walker Wildmon: On top of that, guess how many new permanent legal immigrants we allowed in 2024? About 1.3 to 1.4 million.
Walker Wildmon: That's a combined addition, whether through permanent legal residence, an H-1B process, or a worker visa, of between seven and eight million workers and citizens flooding the American labor market.
Walker Wildmon: That puts native-born Americans at an immediate disadvantage. That's what President Trump's campaign focused on both times, and that's what he's carrying out this time: the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, freeing up government services, freeing up housing, reducing crime rates, and allowing American citizens to be hired again.
Walker Wildmon: Welcome to At the Core here on American Family Radio. Glad to have you with us on this edition of At the Core. I'm Walker Wildmon. The show is hosted each week by myself and Rick Green.

Then Paul answered, 'What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.'"
Walker Wildmon: Here we have Paul being warned of the danger of his journey, but Paul knew that the right thing to do, the courageous thing to do, and the faithful thing to do was to continue on his journey to Jerusalem to witness to the Jews.

Walker Wildmon: I actually don't want Washington doing more to help me, because its version of helping me actually doesn't help me. We don't need more regulation. We don't need more legislation. As a matter of fact, we need less.
Walker Wildmon: That's what I would argue is on the ballot this November: which party is going to get its hands off my pocketbook, not try to encroach upon my liberties and rights, not try to expand government into every aspect of American life, and which party wants to do those things.
Walker Wildmon: I don't want a $5,000 check from the government. I don't want Congress to try to make things affordable, because its track record, my friends, is just terrible on this stuff.
Walker Wildmon: I also want to put the ball back in the court of the American citizen and the American voter. I've about had enough of the moaning, groaning, complaining, and blaming everybody: blaming Washington, blaming politics, blaming this, and blaming that.
Walker Wildmon: This American system, even as flawed as it is, this American legal and economic system that we live in, and this constitutional republic that we live in, gives people the best likelihood of success in all areas of life, not just economically, but otherwise, of any other nation on the planet. It's not even close.
Walker Wildmon: It is a proven fact that people who have integrity, who work hard, who are willing to do the right thing, who are good stewards of that which God has entrusted to them, who have ingenuity, and who have a good work ethic can be very successful in America if they do those things.
Walker Wildmon: I think the future is not, "What can Washington do for me? How much money can they send me? What kind of government program can I get signed up for?" I think we need to take individual responsibility for our families, our neighborhoods, our communities, our churches, our towns, our cities, and our states. We need to do the right thing. We need to flourish. We need to love our neighbor, be good citizens, and quit waiting on Washington to fix our problems.
Walker Wildmon: We only got to one clip in the last segment, and you shouldn't be surprised, because I do tend to talk pretty frequently. Let's continue our discussion of what's going on and what's at stake on the ballot this November.
Walker Wildmon: Vice President Vance positioned this midterm as an election between common-sense candidates and crazy candidates. He made the proposition in Dallas, at the first-ever midterm GOP convention, that what is on the ballot is common sense, sanity, and normalcy, or craziness. That's pretty much what Vice President Vance summarized in his speech.
Walker Wildmon: When you hear this clip, you will be able to resonate with that sentiment and put a little bit of fact behind it. James Talarico is running for the U.S. Senate seat in Texas against Ken Paxton, the attorney general. James Talarico's track record on the issues of our day is not very good. It's very liberal, and there is a litany of evidence to back up his liberal positions. This one on transgenderism is no different.
Walker Wildmon: This is a committee hearing where, when James Talarico was a lawmaker, he called people who believe in God's design for human sexuality abusers, guilty of child abuse.
Speaker: I think there are some folks who would think that if you deny your child's gender identity, that's incredibly harmful. Whether or not we can label it with the term abuse, it's abusive, for sure. That's where I think some of us have concerns, and I don't want to speak for other members.
Speaker: Should it say that it should include a person's willingness or unwillingness not only to challenge gender, or should it be silent as to whether that is abuse, whether it needs it at all?
Speaker: My concern is that ruling it out as not being abuse is dangerous and could certainly harm some of our most vulnerable kids in the state.
Walker Wildmon: You see where we're going here, folks. The mom and dad who don't want to cater to their child's gender dysphoria are child abusers. You see how twisted the ideology here is? You see how dangerous this is?
Walker Wildmon: When the vice president says this is an election between normalcy and insanity, and then you listen to that clip, it immediately makes sense. It immediately clicks.
Walker Wildmon: That was James Talarico telling a committee that we need to leave this on the table. The definition of parents who refuse to acknowledge their child's gender dysphoria, call them by different pronouns and names, and use cross-sex hormones and all of this is that we ought to be able to label them as child abusers. That's what James Talarico said at that committee hearing.
Walker Wildmon: This isn't theory. This isn't hypothetical. Folks, this gender ideology is wicked, it's dangerous, and it is at our doorstep.
Walker Wildmon: There is no other way to describe this than demonic, because as a society, those who adopt this radical, nonscientific gender ideology of transgenderism, homosexuality, LGBTQ, and the plus, whatever that means, are embracing something ungodly, unnatural, and unscientific, in direct rejection of known truths and the natural law before our very eyes.
Walker Wildmon: But back to the harms. Not only do they want to call parents who believe in God's design for human sexuality abusers, they also want to take our kids.
Walker Wildmon: I've got a story out of Massachusetts where this has actually happened. If you've been thinking for years that the people warning about this are overstating it, overdramatizing it, and that this would never happen in America, folks, it is happening. This is why this radical political movement should be defeated.
Walker Wildmon: As I've said before, we should not let these people within a thousand miles of positions of power. We have the ability. We can't control what everyone thinks, says, or believes, and that's not what I'm suggesting.
Walker Wildmon: What I am telling you is that as American citizens and voters, we do have the full authority and control, under our Constitution and our God-given rights, to pick our leaders in our country. We can, as a people, roundly reject these supposed leaders and politicians who reject God's design for human sexuality and embrace utter wickedness. That is fully within the control of you and me and voters in this country.
Walker Wildmon: Here's a horrific story in Massachusetts of parents having their daughter taken away from them because they do not adopt her pronouns and her gender transition that, guess who, the school decided would be a great idea.
Reporter: The devout Catholic family in Massachusetts is locked in a huge legal fight to stop the state from transitioning their teen daughter to a boy without their consent. Lauren Green has more on this story here in New York. What have you found out, Lauren? Good morning.
Reporter: Joseph and Arlene Cutsko haven't spoken to their daughter since the end of 2024, after the Department of Children and Families removed her from their home. The family claims it was because of their Catholic faith, which would not allow them to affirm their daughter as a boy.
Reporter: An emotional Joseph Cutsko read the birthday card his daughter Sophie gave him in October 2024: "Without you, I would have nothing. So wholeheartedly, fully sincerely, I love you with no end."
Reporter: Less than three months later, child services removed Sophie from their home and accused them of abuse. The Cutsko family says their daughter's school, Algonquin Regional High School in Southborough, Massachusetts, exposed Sophie to a culture steeped in gender ideology. They blamed the school counselor for socially transitioning their daughter to become a boy without their knowledge or permission. They claimed the counselor contacted child services. The school had no comment regarding the allegations.
Reporter: You start with school policies that refuse to inform parents when a child rejects their sex and claims another identity. That's part of a system that starts everything down the rabbit hole.
Reporter: In this case, the school then reported these parents to DCF. So there was a direct school-to-DCF pipeline, as we have seen elsewhere.
Reporter: DCF has assumed guardianship of their daughter. A permanent restraining order remains against Arlene and Joseph and Sophie's older brother. Her father and mother are distraught.
Parent: Mama, I miss you. Please come home.
Parent: Mama, I miss you. Please. I'm begging you, please.
Reporter: We reached out to DCF for comment, but they have not yet responded. Last Friday, a judge temporarily blocked the state from giving Sophie a high dose of testosterone, and the next court date is October 29.
Walker Wildmon: That's the true horror story going on in Massachusetts as we speak, where the state has taken the child, the daughter, and placed a restraining order on the family because they don't want to go along with the gender insanity.
Walker Wildmon: What I'm waiting on is the first governor from a state that has its head on right who is going to offer this family and daughter asylum and refuse extradition. That's what I would do. Governor DeSantis, Governor Reeves, Governor Abbott: Which governor is going to step up to the plate and say that this family can have asylum in their state?
Walker Wildmon: That's what it's going to boil down to. We're going to have to choose: Where do we want to live? Do we want to live in tyranny, or do we want to live in freedom?
Walker Wildmon: This is why I'm somewhat hopeful about the future of America. The people we're running against, the anti-common-sense crowd, are so off the rocker, so crazy, and so loony that I would think there are enough people in this country who can roundly reject them taking control of the country.
Walker Wildmon: Unfortunately, we have pockets of America like Massachusetts and California. There are a handful of places where you just don't want to be.
Walker Wildmon: On the other side, there are 30 or 35 states that have common-sense leaders, law and order, and thriving local and state economies. The criminals are locked up, the education systems are improving, and taxation is affordable or nonexistent in some instances.
Walker Wildmon: We're going to have to decide as a people where we want to spend our time and our energy. Do we want to live in a state where we constantly have to look over our shoulder because our very freedoms are being threatened, our very rights as parents are being threatened, and our rights in this instance are being outright taken away?
Walker Wildmon: As a brief reminder, this is what happens when a culture or society rejects God. The logical conclusion, or the domino effect, of rejecting a sovereign Creator and God to whom we are accountable as people is lawlessness, dysfunction, and utter insanity.
Walker Wildmon: Disorder is the broadest term to be used here. This is utter societal disorder. Instead of government punishing the evildoer and promoting righteousness, it's the opposite. It's government punishing righteousness and promoting and rewarding the evildoer.
Walker Wildmon: In this instance, unfortunately, the state, the government, is the evildoer by taking this child from the parents and punishing the parents for not going along with gender dysphoria and this wicked gender ideology.
Walker Wildmon: The Democratic Party at large has no capacity to self-correct. It has no capacity to restrain itself. Why? Because in large part, its party has been given over to the godless, the pagans, and wicked people. I can play clip after clip that bears that out.
Walker Wildmon: On the other hand, you look at the Republicans and say, "I'm just not too excited about the Republicans." Well, I don't get excited about any politicians, to be honest with you.
Walker Wildmon: As I said in the first segment, we ought not be looking to Washington and our state capitals to bail us out or fix all our problems. I need politicians to stay out of meddling in things that they have no God-given or constitutional right to meddle in.
Walker Wildmon: Government's primary function, according to the biblical mandate, is to punish the evildoer and uphold a society of righteousness. That's civil government's basic function. We could get deeper into the weeds on what that actually looks like, but what our founders envisioned was a civil government that protects life, liberty, and property.
Walker Wildmon: Once again, it protects, not provides: protects life, liberty, and property.
Walker Wildmon: Now we have a government going around taking people's kids, running this massive welfare state, running all these social programs, meddling in the private sector, controlling the economy, manipulating employment and interest rates, manipulating borrowing and inflation, and printing money. The government is way over its skis here.
Walker Wildmon: They're trying to meddle and do things that God never intended civil government to do. We need less government, less intervention, and a return to the core functions of civil government: protecting life, liberty, and property.
Walker Wildmon: Those are biblical precepts that God created civil government to carry out, and that's what we must get back to. We don't need government to make things affordable. We don't need government to send everybody a check. We don't need government to do anything that is not constitutionally mandated or biblically ordained.
Walker Wildmon: When the state goes from punishing the evildoer to rewarding the evildoer, it is the responsibility of voters, in this instance and in this context, to stage a revolution.
Walker Wildmon: Thank the Lord, we can stage a revolution at the ballot box to solve many of these problems that we're facing as a society. We have been given the opportunity, and we still have it today, despite what people say, to peacefully vote the insane people out of office.
Walker Wildmon: If we don't do that, if we sit on our hands and make excuses, moan and groan and complain, or put our heads in the sand, guess who is responsible for that? We are.
Walker Wildmon: I played multiple clips earlier in the show showing the level of disconnect that many elected officials have with their governments, and in the case of Massachusetts, with common sense.
Walker Wildmon: This clip I'm going to play now, before we pivot and talk about other subjects, is the bow on the topic of local government losing, or falling off, its rocking chair, so to speak.
Walker Wildmon: Fairfax County Public Schools, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11, instructed their teachers on the politically correct way to discuss 9/11. If you wonder what people mean when they criticize political correctness, and what an example of this self-censorship is, this example is perfect.
Walker Wildmon: Fairfax County Schools is instructing teachers on how best to talk about 9/11, but let's not offend Muslims while we're talking about 9/11.
Reporter: Virginia's largest school district is under scrutiny for what it is leaving out of lessons on the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Specifically, Fairfax County Public Schools have directed teachers not to associate the September 11 attacks with Islam or Muslims, despite the fact that those deadly terrorist attacks were carried out by Islamic extremists.
Reporter: Our Nick Minock joins us live in Fairfax County. He's got more on this story, with some reaction from parents as well. Nick?
Reporter: Parents told me they are shocked that their school system is prioritizing some kind of misplaced political correctness over accurately portraying what actually happened 25 years ago, when al-Qaeda terrorists attacked America.
Reporter: Fairfax County is just a few miles from the Pentagon, where 184 people lost their lives when hijackers flew an American Airlines jet into the building during the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Reporter: Now, 25 years later, Fairfax County Public Schools' do's and don'ts regarding teaching students about al-Qaeda's murder of thousands of Americans direct teachers not to associate the 9/11 attacks with Islam or Muslims and not to center instruction on the extremists or the acts of the extremists.
Walker Wildmon: This is the rewriting of history before our very eyes. The wickedness here is hard to explain, because not only are we facing an anniversary of one of the worst Islamic terror attacks on the American homeland, but now we are facing a modern, renewed threat of massive Islamic immigration into the homeland, an importation of a people and an ideology that are fundamentally at odds with the American way of life, the American system, and our form of government, not to mention the religion of our founding fathers, Christianity.
Walker Wildmon: Now we're telling students, "You know what? It wasn't really Muslims who did it. We don't know what their motivation was. They were some fringe element, some radical group." A radical group of what? Muslims.
Walker Wildmon: What's even more frustrating is that we don't tiptoe around any other religion other than Islam. Islam is the religion about which we all have to walk on eggshells. But if we want to criticize Christianity or Christian history, talk about the Crusades, or discuss the faith of our founding fathers, those are all fair game. Let's have those debates and conversations. It's not going to offend me. I don't care.
Walker Wildmon: I'm not a snowflake, and Christians aren't snowflakes. We can debate things and talk about history. We can admit when things are done wrong. But when it comes to Islam, we can't talk about Muslims. We can't acknowledge the fact that the hijackers were motivated by the Quran or the fact that America, for 300 years, has been dealing with Muslim terrorists.
Walker Wildmon: For a brief history lesson, I would encourage you to read about the Barbary pirates. Read about why the United States needed a navy to begin with as such a young nation. Why would we need a navy when we have massive expanses of water between us and our foreign adversaries? Because the Muslim pirates kept stealing our products and goods. They kept attacking and sinking our ships because they wanted us to pay a toll. They wanted to extort us during our free trade in international waters.
Walker Wildmon: That's 300 years ago. Even before we had the Declaration of Independence, this was a problem. Now, 250 or 300 years later, what are we doing? We're trying to fight Iran, the Muslims, because they want to tax every ship that traverses international waters through the Strait of Hormuz. They're using the same tactics the Barbary pirates used. Not much has changed.
Walker Wildmon: Now Fairfax County Schools wants us all to act as though we're not sure what motivated the hijackers on 9/11. We're not sure what faith they were. We definitely can't say anything about Islam or Muslims because of all the people we might offend.
Walker Wildmon: But notice this narrative about offending people, sensitivity, and diversity. It's a complete one-way street. When Democrats attack our founding fathers, talk about how bad Christianity is, and say that MAGA extremists are evil, they don't have a problem with offending us.
Walker Wildmon: But if we want to talk about the Muslim terrorists on 9/11, we can't do that because somebody might get offended. That is a prime example of political correctness.
Walker Wildmon: Let's talk about solutions, because one of the main problems and one of the main reasons we're in this situation, with millions of Muslims in the country, is mass migration, both legal and illegal, but mostly, in the instance of Muslims, legal. For years, our country has been importing millions of legal immigrants who are also Muslims.
Walker Wildmon: Europe has unfortunately fallen victim to this mass-migration agenda, and its leaders are finally taking note. I came across a clip on X of a lawyer from Europe who is leading a movement against this mass immigration. This is her assessment of how most immigrants vote, which is liberal, and of the solution to preserve Western civilization: remigration.
Speaker: Yes, the left is losing ground, but what did they do? They're not stupid. They import new voters. We cannot sleep on that fact, because we can say that the native white populations of Europe are becoming more and more right-wing. They're waking up to it. They know there aren't 73 genders. That may have worked in 2018, but not anymore.
Speaker: All of that's true, but the left isn't sleeping. They're importing their voters in really large numbers. We can talk about freedom of expression all we want, but democracy is 51 percent, and we're voted out. If you're no longer a majority in your own country, how will democracy work for you then?
Speaker: That's why I will end on two notes. What we need is the abolishment of the EU, and the second is remigration.
Walker Wildmon: There you have it. That is a very good assessment of what the solution here is: remigration.
Walker Wildmon: What we're talking about here is people who are on temporary stays and temporary visas who are not American citizens. Thankfully, the State Department has paused, permanently for now, all visa applications so we can vet this and figure out how many people we want to continue letting into this country.
Walker Wildmon: When you look at the voting record and ideology of many of these immigrants, both legal and illegal, it does not align with the preservation of Western civilization. Europe is in the throes of it right now, and in some ways, America is as well.
Walker Wildmon: President Trump has made this one of his key campaign strategies going back to 2015 and 2016: mass deportations of noncitizens. This is 100 percent fair game and 100 percent legal.
Walker Wildmon: There are a variety of problems that are solved by remigration, one of which is immediate relief for government systems. President Biden, people dispute or debate these numbers, but there is no doubt that President Biden led in millions of people. I would say four to six million minimum, probably more like 10 million or more over his four-year tenure.
Walker Wildmon: The Trump administration claims more like 15 or 20 million. I don't know about that number, but I can tell you for sure that if you look at border apprehensions alone, you're looking at four to five million. That's a very conservative number. It doesn't capture the people who got through the border and weren't captured.
Walker Wildmon: Then we found out that President Biden was flying illegal immigrants into the country by the planeload, equaling hundreds of thousands. How is that not illegal?
Walker Wildmon: Mass migration, and at this point remigration and mass deportation, are just getting started. There is a lot of runway left here, my friends. This is why controlling the executive branch matters.
Walker Wildmon: I mentioned the relief on government services and community services that remigration provides. It also frees up the labor market.
Walker Wildmon: One reason, not the only reason, that we have seven million working-age men on the sidelines and out of the labor market is that they are having a hard time finding a good-paying job. Why? Because corporate America, lobbyists, and special interests have loved importing cheap foreign labor. It's a fact, both legal and illegal.
Walker Wildmon: Just to give you these numbers, if you think they are inconsequential, my friends, this is a major problem. In fiscal year 2024 alone, we imported over six million temporary workers who flooded the American labor market. We wonder why working-age men are having trouble finding a good, solid-paying job. They're competing with six million foreign laborers imported into the country who will work for minimum wage or maybe a little bit more.
Walker Wildmon: On top of that, guess how many new permanent legal immigrants we allowed in 2024? About 1.3 to 1.4 million.
Walker Wildmon: That's a combined addition, whether through permanent legal residence, an H-1B process, or a worker visa, of between seven and eight million workers and citizens flooding the American labor market.
Walker Wildmon: That puts native-born Americans at an immediate disadvantage. That's what President Trump's campaign focused on both times, and that's what he's carrying out this time: the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, freeing up government services, freeing up housing, reducing crime rates, and allowing American citizens to be hired again.
Walker Wildmon examines resurfaced comments from Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico, who said denying a child's gender identity could be considered abusive. The remarks come as gender identity and parental authority remain prominent issues in the Texas Senate race.
Walker also looks at a Massachusetts family's legal battle over custody of their teenage daughter amid a dispute involving gender transition. The show covers renewed discussion among Democrats about impeaching President Trump, controversy surrounding how Fairfax County schools address the motivations behind the September 11 attacks, and calls from a European conservative leader for remigration.
