click the download button and then you'll have unlimited access to american family radio content let's turn our attention to the scripture john chapter eighteen is where we are this week john chapter eighteen looking at verses nineteen and twenty the high priest then asked jesus about his disciples and his doctrine jesus answered him and said i spoke openly to the world i always taught in synagogues and in the temple where the jews always meet and in secret i have said nothing why do you ask me ask those who have heard me and what i said to them indeed they know what i said and so the high priests are trying to act as if they don't know what's going on here or rather they're trying to ask and talk as if they don't know jesus teachings already and remember these are the high priests the religious leaders of the time and they've heard the word on the street so to speak about this messiah or in their view this person who claims to be the messiah and so them asking jesus hey tell us a little bit about yourself tell us about your doctrine it's not a genuine question they already know the answer because word has gotten around the region on who this jesus is so jesus says look basically i'm paraphrasing look guys my ministry has been public all right everything i've been doing is public there's no secrets here nothing here to hide i'm the messiah and of course he ends by saying my disciples can testify and those around me can testify to what i have been saying and what i have been doing the same stands true today what jesus offers us is publicly available and it's available to everyone the gospel of jesus christ is a message of salvation to anyone who shall receive that's what the scripture says and so there's nothing exclusive there's nothing top secret there's nothing overly complicated about what jesus christ has done and what he's offering it's just a matter of whether one will believe or will not believe that's what jesus message is and that's still true today as it was two thousand plus years ago when the messiah walked the earth that's john chapter eighteen looking at verses nineteen and twenty and twenty one there in john chapter eighteen well as i mentioned almost each show if i remember we're going to some special places this year and one of the reasons it's special is because it's america's two hundred fiftieth anniversary

attention to some of the news of the week and see what we can cover this segment i've got this local news report i've had this in the can for several days this is a local news report on a very very heinous crime murder actually committed by an illegal immigrant and this is quite the past several years has been quite telling as far as what the democrats think about illegal immigration and how they covered for illegal immigrants over the years whether it comes to their stance against the border wall which by the way let's not forget the border wall is being rapidly built as we speak it's fully funded which is a major policy victory major national security victory and so let's don't forget that as we go into the midterms but this is out of virginia and this this is a very heinous crime you'll hear in the report what happened in virginia but the democrats don't want to talk about it and even the local and state democrat leaders and the legislature there don't want to talk about it and you'll hear towards the end of the clip where the media the local news reporter is repeatedly asking the state lawmakers hey what do you think about this what are you guys going to do to fix this or prevent this from happening again and they don't want to hear a thing about it this is the kind of democrat party we're seeing today where they don't even want to take on violent illegal immigrants let's listen to this clip this is going to be clip one
>> Reporter: shot on crime policies and democratic lawmakers in virginia are facing intense scrutiny and growing backlash after an illegal alien with a lengthy criminal history was charged with murdering a mother investigators say abdul jalal stabbed and killed stephanie mentor as she waited at a bus stop court records show he'd already been arrested at least forty times before that for several violent offenses but was repeatedly released by fairfax district attorney democrat steve descano and now newly obtained emails show police were warned descano three separate times since last may about jalo calling him dangerous and detailing a history of attacks including prior stabbings those warnings though went nowhere each time the charges were dropped critics say it took a murder to put him behind bars but even now virginia democrats are refusing to turn the illegal alien over to ice governor spanberger in her response basically said you can come and get this guy who just murdered stephanie minter if you have a judicial warrant which she very well knows having been a federal officer herself is not a tool in immigration's toolbox so what she's basically saying is no you can't have it she's setting the policy that virginia is a sanctuary state and this case stephanie minter's case and her death is the tragic consequence you don't know about stephanie mentor or abdul jalo what's your reaction to an illegal immigrant murdering a woman allegedly in fairfax county last week in the middle of a conversation thanks sir what's your reaction to a virginia mother being murdered allegedly by an illegal immigrant in fairfax county an area that you represent sir you don't have anything to say delegate hummer lieutenant governor what's your reaction to this murder in fairfax county no response what do you have to say to the family of stephanie mentor lieutenant governor democratic governor abigail spanberger has demanded ice obtain a signed judicial warrant in order to take custody of jalo which officials argue is not legally required under federal immigration law
>> Walker Wildmon: that's completely unnecessary there's no need for judicial warrant this is an illegal immigrant it's not a us citizen and so this is what democrats do they play games and people die and i don't know when the voting base and the voting populace is going to figure this thing out this is not rocket science and they're doing this in our face here's what's happened all right we've got these we've got these radical off the cliff democrats let's be honest here all right ninety plus percent of these cases are democrats probably higher than that these are democrat politicians and elected officials in this instance a district attorney and a governor who not only don't want to do anything about illegal immigration but they actually go out of their way to help the murderous illegal immigrant and this doesn't even make sense like there's nothing about this where you go yeah i kind of understand why they're doing that supposedly this isn't even a voter if they're following the law so this isn't a voter so they're not losing a voter what on earth is the reasoning behind letting an illegal immigrant and i don't even actually at this point i don't even care if it's an illegal immigrant or not that's almost a side point but this dude was arrested nearly forty times for things like crimes like rape assault and a stabbing that was before the murder and the fairfax county district attorney lets him walk what on this earth are you doing if there's not a textbook case of legal dereliction of duty then what is i don't understand how this is even legal so you're a district attorney charged and taken a sworn oath to enforce the laws of fairfax county but the guy the criminal who's also an illegal immigrant who's been arrested forty times for violent offenses you let walk so if we so what is the oath of office at this point it's completely meaningless and then and then once the murder has occurred now the governor won't let ice come pick him up so it's like well we didn't think he was this bad well now he's murdered somebody as if rape wasn't bad enough before and ah a stabbing by the way now he's murdered somebody and the governor saying oh you gotta have a judicial warrant even though legally speaking a judicial warrant is not federally required to pick up an illegal immigrant democrat governor saying oh well you got to have a span burgers or name what a name you got to come pick up you got to get a judicial warrant no you don't that is not that is nowhere in federal statute that is some made up state requirement that is one hundred percent subjective by the way that the governor can completely override at any point you don't need a judicial warrant you need an administrative warrant and there's a key difference immigrations and customs enforcement operates under administrative warrants every day of the week and federal law under the immigration statute only requires a minimum of an administrative warrant to pick up a known illegal immigrant that is in prison actually it doesn't even have to be in prison you can pick him up anywhere and so this is one of those instances remember we were arguing about this in minneapolis that's the same thing so we've already got the illegal immigrant fairfax county has this illegal immigrant murderer alleged murderer locked up right now behind bars and trump's immigration officials are saying hey guys we'll drive over there and pick him up if you'd like and we'll send him back to where he came from and the governor is saying no you can't do that we don't want to let him go oh okay so we're going to use virginia tax dollars to house this monster for who knows how long or let him back on the streets who knows there's absolutely no reason for this nonsense we'll be back in a few

>> Walker Wildmon: At the Core podcasts are available at afr dot net now back to At the Core on american family
>> Walker Wildmon: radio welcome back The Core here on american family radio well if you listened to the last segment it was a doozy i'll tell you i don't know we were talking about illegal immigration and this this alleged illegal immigrant murderer in fairfax county virginia and been locked up nearly forty times once for rape stabbing etcetera who's now murdered a mother so now we've got kids without a mom in fairfax county because the democrats are dumb and evil in this instance this is just baffling and i don't know how you work with these people i mean we're at the place we're at the place where the quote other side and this isn't honestly this isn't just democrats all right this this problem of stupidity lacking common sense and in some instances just pure evil which is this instance i don't even know how you start out a negotiation with the quote other side in instances like this i mean it's just so bizarre so the democrat governor is blocking the release of a repeat offender now alleged murderer and immigrations and customs enforcement has volunteered to come pick him up and process his removal and the democrat governor says no thanks no thanks and then says well you need a judicial warrant well number one they could probably get a judicial warrant if they wanted to but it's completely unnecessary they don't even need i just looked it up they don't even need an administrative warrant why because us code eight us code thirteen fifty seven and twenty twelve twenty six explicitly allows immigration officers to arrest non citizens without a judicial warrant or an administrative warrant if they have probable cause to believe the person is removable under immigration law no judicial warrant or administrative warrant for that matter is required to arrest non citizens in public spaces so if fairfax county jail go to the illegal immigrants jail cell handcuff him walk him to the back door and open the door and then there's immigration officers standing at the back door and you hand him to immigration officers they put him in the back of the car within twenty four hours he's deported this is how this works this was the debate in minneapolis and in minnesota because local and state law enforcement they're arresting these bad guys all the time i mean they're they're running into these people these illegal immigrants all the time and if they know most of these agencies if they know that ice will come pick these people up then they'll arrest them they'll keep them for twenty four hours immigration officials come up to the jail or the jail and then they'll take them problem solved and so this housing this permanent housing and sheltering of these very very evil people is just quite baffling i just can't come up with a possible excuse that makes sense even though i might disagree with it i can't even come up with something that makes sense politically or otherwise except we don't like trump i was telling bobby during the break bobby that there's no nothing else makes sense other than we don't like trump we don't like trump and if trump is going to deport this guy then we're going to be his friend i mean that's the only logical conclusion you can draw here exactly you
>> Walker Wildmon: would think there'd be a little a little gratis toward him i mean the person did get a new haircut he's looking good he's looking good you know
>> Walker Wildmon: it's nice yeah yeah now that the hatred's gotta be it's ridiculous i mean
>> Walker Wildmon: unless one body over what twelve years
>> Walker Wildmon: yeah i mean it's just bizarre i mean i can get you don't like people or they get on your nerves or you don't like their politics but you got a repeat violent offender who's been alleged to murder here who shouldn't be in the country i don't know how you make that political it's just i can't even fathom being in that kind of position to politicize something that seems pretty straightforward people need to read between the lines there they just if that's the way you're going to cast your vote then woe be to you
>> Walker Wildmon: yeah exactly well there you have it folks that's the latest on the illegal immigration front speaking of that front and speaking of trying to get something through of common sense the save america act is pending before the us senate and senator john thune of course is saying oh we don't have the votes we don't have the votes we have the filibuster oh we don't have the votes okay so the save america act which does several things one of the things it does amongst amongst many is makes you have to have proof of citizenship to register to vote oh okay so you got to be a us citizen to register to vote brilliant eighty plus percent of voters from both parties agree with that you've also got to show a government issued photo id when you vote in federal elections this has nothing to do with state and local elections it one hundred percent has to do with federal elections because that's that's congress's authority that's their jurisdiction federal elections congress cannot regulate state and local elections that's up to the states so this only has to do with federal elections photo id and proof of citizenship to register to vote very simple issue very straightforward the vast majority of voters from both parties we're talking up into the eighties and nineties percentage agree with this so this is like a slam dunk political move from any party to do this but we've got three or four republican senators who just love this fake filibuster oh the senate rules oh the senate traditions i mean this senate and republican quote unquote leadership in the senate they're running i'm just trying to come up with an analogy here they're running this most outdated country club ever i mean they run this like a country club everybody's buddies it's exclusive there's only a hundred of them if you're the republican side there's only fifty three and they're just so stuck in their ways and it's one thing to be stuck in your ways based on principle or conviction or even the constitution and you say you know this is what our founding fathers intended and this is what we'll do but these rules in the senate folks there's nothing sacred about them there's just not it's so overrated i would actually argue that that in some instances the rules in the us senate are actually i'm not going to say unconstitutional because that might be a stretch but they're definitely extra constitutional and it wasn't the original intent of our founders for the senate to work like this i can say that with confidence if the founding fathers which they debated this by the way if you read some of the founding papers some of the letters back and forth and some of the debates the threshold for passing legislation was debated but when you read the text of the constitution the founding fathers only outlined just a handful not even a handful just a couple instances where you need more than a simple majority and i may be missing some here but we know for sure obviously to ratify the constitution not only do you need states two thirds but you also need more than a simple majority in the senate and the house also impeachment if you want to impeach you've got to have obviously two thirds and so the founding fathers they had this debate they've already had the debate two hundred and fifty years ago what vote threshold is needed to do things like impeach a judge or a president or ratify the constitution okay we need more than a simple majority what's that going to be two thirds on passing legislation this was debated and guess where the founding fathers landed simple majority in the house in both chambers all that is constitutionally required to pass legislation is a simple majority and at some point over the last oh this goes back probably forty years and this is by the way the filibuster was actually i think it was used primarily to block some civil rights legislation originally but nonetheless i'll fact check that nonetheless at some point these these lousy politicians decided oh we need we need to do this sixty vote rule you know because we're we're we're so efficient up here we need to slow this thing down get sixty votes to get something done well you know what when you're when you're in america twenty twenty six you can't get sixty percent of anybody to to agree on anything i mean for goodness sake we've got the democrat governor of virginia not wanting to release a forty plus instant violent offender who's now been accused of murdering a mom in fairfax county if we can't get the democrats to agree on that what are we going to get them to agree to so in a perfect world where seventy five percent of the country has their head on right and is not consumed by spiritual darkness then sure we can get sixty votes i mean after all we're talking about things like securing a border and making sure only legal residents legal citizens vote take a photo id i mean after all if you want to get sudafed photo id sir want to get cigarettes photo id sir you want to get alcohol photo id sir you want to go pick up your prescription photo id sir you want to buy a certain level of chemicals at the home depot well they're going to flag you in the atf database or the dea database so we're doing all this hyper surveillance you and i are getting flagged for purchases that are quote suspicious and we're having to pull out proof of who we are every single day of the week you can't even sign up for a service without giving them your social security number driver's license date of birth favorite place to eat and we want we want to make sure that only citizens are voting and this is a high this is a high bar to me this is a this is just a really big ask we got to have sixty votes well what guess what we can't get sixty votes because one whole party has just gone off the deep end and then the one party that at least has their head halfway on right they can't get it together i mean i'm on a soapbox today so we've got this country we've been around two hundred fifty years and we've been in a bad way for a long time i mean the sun's not shining and the rainbows aren't out let me just tell you we headed forty trillion dollars in debt forty trillion dollars in debt now we're doing a tango over back in or back in the middle east shocked we're back in the middle east whatever you think about the iran situation it is quite frustrating that we're back in the middle east so we're back in the middle east we're burning between ten and twenty billion dollars a day in the middle east on bombs and military assets and the american people are over here paying bookoos of money in taxes and if you and i don't don't pay our taxes they're coming and knocking but if you're a somali and you're raiding our welfare system well you might need a you might need a judicial warrant you might need a judicial warrant well you can't do that you can't target them president trump you don't have you don't have authority to come into minnesota and target the fraudsters up here who shouldn't even be here why on earth do we have millions of somalis i have no idea why would you import somali muslims this doesn't even make sense but the american people are so gracious we're so kind hearted we don't want to be viewed as mean so all we say is okay okay okay okay whatever about the somali fraudsters whatever about ilhan omar marrying her brother whatever about the iran situation just whatever you guys want to do all i want is to make sure that only citizens vote in america's elections like that's all we're asking for just give me give me something we just turned out i'm representing the american people here we just turned out in record numbers for president trump because we wanted things like hey photo id when you vote in federal elections and so we're like little kids and all we just want is something simple and the senate let's just call them the adults even though they're not they really should be the kids in this example example but the kid we're the voters are the kids and we're just going to the adults in the senate because they think they're special and the most deliberative body in the world and we're like hey guys look we know you're rating our taxes you know we know that the somalis are looting our welfare programs everybody's getting ripped off everywhere they turn we're back in the middle east dropping multimillion dollar bombs every three seconds but we we just want to make sure citizens are voting in our elections and only citizens and the senate goes i'm sorry guys we're just not gonna be able to do that we don't have sixty votes we don't have sixty votes because the whole democrat party in lockstep votes for everything that is anti america i mean in lockstep if you if it's against america democrats are totally in favor of it and so something so simple the senate has made it overly complicated it just doesn't make sense we'll be back abortion moves fast and right now in our communities women are being pressured to make irreversible decisions in moments of fear and panic they're told to act quickly or risk losing support many feel they have no other option but because of you they do at preborn network clinics a woman receives what the abortion industry will never compassion without pressure clarity about the life growing inside her real support to welcome her baby and

>> Jeff Chamblee: this is At the Core on american family radio with your host walker Wildmon
>> Walker Wildmon: welcome back to the program here on american family radio well when you really zoom out and get out of the headlines and look big picture here we've learned a lot about our country and about our elected officials over the last twelve months eighteen months i mean we've learned a lot over the years but what president trump has done to his credit is he has he has helped reveal who our friends are and who our enemies are and this this this couching things as republicans versus democrats is really not very helpful because as i just outlined in the last segment the republican party has so many problems we can't get republican senators at least enough of them to bypass this fake filibuster and vote on the save america act to make sure that only citizens are voting in federal elections i mean we can't get the republicans to do that because there's a handful of them that are so weak so compromised that they just can't hand president trump a quote unquote victory and so that's the frustration and it's very very very valid but we've seen where we are everybody knows where we are now and you can look out and you can see who your friends are and who your enemies are based on how they address the issues of the day or in some instances how they fail to address the issues of the day as i mentioned a couple days ago on the program late last week this iran situation cannot last cannot last more than a couple more weeks and i think that's stretching it so we've had a couple of facts here a couple of interesting facts we've had the us has had the uss ford gerald r ford is now deployed for the longest deployment in us history all right for an aircraft carrier that is so we have the uss gerald r ford obviously over in centcom area of responsibility in the middle east they've been deployed for over three hundred thirty four days this goes back to the last record on was the abraham lincoln that was deployed for about two hundred and ninety five days back during the iraq war and then the uss nimitz completed a three hundred twenty one day deployment in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one so we've had the uss gerald r ford at sea for going on a year that's a long time for one crew my point in bringing that up is this this has to wrap up very soon and to the military and to president trump's defense they have made unbelievable progress against iran in the last few weeks and we're not even at the two week mark and i think when this is all said and done if gone about properly and if we pull out quickly declare victory and come home this could be obviously a very good policy win but also a very good political win because we've just obliterated an enemy in the middle east and we haven't it didn't take us seven or ten years and a trillion dollars and boots on the ground so this has the potential to go really good or really bad depending on how long president trump lingers this thing out but it doesn't need to last more than a couple more weeks we've got to get this thing over with now the signs are good here's the latest ballistic missile and drone launch rate which gives you an indication of what iran's capabilities are or lack thereof on the first day of attack iran launched four hundred twenty eight ballistic missiles this is according to the wall street journal as of yesterday iran launched twenty four ballistic missiles that's in a twenty four hour period so that's a ninety five percent decline from day one to now which we're only talking twelve to thirteen days after on the drone front iran launched three hundred forty five drones on day one and on tuesday of this week yesterday they launched forty eight so that's almost a ninety percent reduction and so we have severely damaged and limited their ability to launch offensive attacks against arab allies and israel in the region and we've sunk roughly sixty of their boats we've basically sunk all of their boats and the strait of hormuz shows signs of reopening if it's not actually already reopened iran's ability to harm people in the region is just dwindling by the day and by the hour and so at this rate by the end of this week i don't know what iran's going to have left president trump indicated such i mean he basically said there's not much left there and so let's listen to this fox report this is trey yingstick talking about how iran has threatened to deploy water mines in the strait of hormuz but obviously the us is combating that that's clip three
>> Trey Yingst: let's listen yeah absolutely us central command has been incredibly effective in taking out the vessels that are used to lay these sea mines and we know according to the wall street journal it's believed that less than ten mines have actually been placed by the iranian regime and we heard from president trump overnight on truth social and he warned iran against laying mines in the strait of hormuz this is an important thoroughfare twenty percent of the world's oil actually travels normally through the strait of hormuz and so it's something that has a domino effect around the world in terms of gas prices and other things as it relates to energy markets there's also the issue of liquefied natural gas we know that earlier in this conflict the qataris shut down all of their lng production and this is the first time they've actually done that in thirty years and so again president trump is warning the iranian regime if they want to lay these mines they're going to pay a heavy
>> Walker Wildmon: price for doing so so i don't think they're going to be laying any mines i mean it would just be beyond it would be baffling for the us intelligence and military to miss that or not intercept that so i don't think they're going to be laying any mines and this is all this is all saber rattling this is all empty threats the iranians as far as our knowledge they don't even have any boats left they can't go lay mines they have no submarines and no boats left so there's nothing left of this regime i mean president trump actually talked this morning before leaving the white house about how there's not much left else to strike he said if we keep striking we're going to start striking stuff that isn't really military meaning hitting some of their energy infrastructure things like that non military assets and so this thing this thing appears to be winding down and i don't know the strait of harmuts we've got to get that thing back open if it's not already we have to get that back open because that's what's causing energy prices to go up and down now i reported on monday about the g seven member countries that were releasing some of their reserve to help settle the energy prices and that's helped a lot i mean energy oil actually made its biggest up and down in history in the history of the energy market made its big increase and decrease single day move in history when this all happened but these countries these g seven and other countries have officially released it was in question on monday afternoon they weren't sure if it was going to take place but it looks like president trump has secured the release of about four hundred million barrels of oil which as i said is about a twenty day supply of what goes through the strait of hormuz and so this is a big deal this this can settle energy prices and enough time for us to squash iran and get out of there and i don't know what the inner workings are i don't know what the conversations are in the white house but i can tell you this here's what should be here's what should be the talk the talk here's what should be the strategy hey guys let's completely obliterate iran's military capabilities which this is these are the goals by the way so this is not novel information and when iran is launching zero drones has the ability to launch zero drones and zero ballistic missiles which we should achieve that in days then we're out we're out of here now of course they're going to leave lingering forces in the region of course they're going to leave aircraft carriers over there just to make sure that iran doesn't act out but i'm talking about the strait of hormuz has to be reopened and when you've completely obliterated them militarily we pull out you pull out three weeks later declare victory you're under the four week timeline president trump's always an overachiever he's always about beating deadlines he said four weeks when we started this we're eleven to twelve days in you pull out at week two or three you call it a victory you tell iran hey iran i don't know what you guys got going on in your country but i can tell you one thing if you build nukes if you build ballistic missiles or if you build drones then we'll come back we'll bomb you for two more weeks and we'll put we'll set you back thirty years again and then this is what we do we come back but but this this washington dc thinking this potomac thinking of oh if we bomb them then we have to go in and we got to clean it all up and we got to make sure that everybody gets back in the right position or we got to reinstitute the government or we got to train the military or we got to do whatever on earth excuse they can come up with no we don't we don't that's not a moral imperative that's not that's nowhere enshrined that we have to bomb and then go in no no we've done it in the past it is an unmitigated disaster this is a nation iran ninety million people of at least half of which are islamic radicals this notion this notion out there that iran is just blossoming with freedom loving people everywhere is a falsehood it is a straight lie there is zero evidence that iran is just bursting at the seams of freedom loving people no that's not true now it is true there are some there are some positive things going on in iran that i don't want to gloss over it is seeing exponential growth in christianity it's one of the most flourishing countries for the gospel per capita that is true and there are some remnants of pre iranian revolution people remember how iran used to be before the jihadis took over basically and yeah there's still some of that left but we're not talking numbers that can just take the country over here even though those things are good those things are true we're not talking fifty million people that are just up and ready to just turn this country around and even if it was well then you got forty other million jihadis out there in the country and so this notion that there's enough freedom loving people in iran that just take the thing over and just boom overnight we've got regime change that's just not that's not what's on the ground there that's just not true and so we need to be honest with the american public about what the expectations are and what the ability for iran to to pick a different leader is what's their actual ability and of course they're not armed and i don't think we should arm them and create some kind of proxy war within an iran so all of this thing everything i'm telling you leads back to the original point that i made that we bomb we obliterate ah military capabilities and then we pull out and i know president trump doesn't want to you know forecast that hey we're pulling out but that's what needs to happen here that's what needs to happen and it'll be the first time at least in my lifetime that we've completely obliterated a foreign enemy militarily without a boot on the ground and in a matter of weeks and not years and we spent billions and not trillions this will be the first time in my lifetime that that's happened at least at this scale and i think we also need to be very careful about this continuing to pick off their leaders because right now right now between the us and israel or israel's been doing most of this work we've assassinated which is effectively what we've done like dozens if not hundreds of iranian revolutionary guard members and members of the cleric now they're like on their number three leader number three deep and their reports are that we bombed them him over the last twenty four hours i think we just need to be very careful not to create a power vacuum and leave nothing left of any type of government leadership that might sound good but in practicality that could be really bad and that's not what our primary objective was when we went in by the way and so i don't think we have to have regime change to get a victory here that's my point i don't think you have to have full regime change to get a quote unquote victory in iran but we need to get in we're in and we need to get out quick get out quick way back
