Today's Issues continues on AFR with your. Tim Wildman discussing college football
>> Fred Jackson: Today's Issues continues on AFR with your.
>> Steve Jordahl: Host, Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association.
>> Tim Wildmon: Hey, welcome back, everybody, to Today's Issues on the American Family Radio Network. We're here for 25 more minutes. Actually 24 and a half more minutes on AFR. I'm Tim Wildmon with Fred Jackson and now Steve Paisley Jordahl joins us. Good morning, brother Steve.
>> Steve Jordahl: Good morning, everybody. How y' all doing?
>> Tim Wildmon: Doing good. did you, I got the college football. I know, Fred, you're a hockey guy, but I'm a college football guy. And it's about to get.
>> Steve Jordahl: It's, it's, it's interesting. I watched all the games over the weekend. Roll Tide and Hottie Toddy.
>> Tim Wildmon: not everybody was believing like you there. Roll tie. But I know I don't have any.
>> Steve Jordahl: Just the outcome.
>> Tim Wildmon: I don't have anything against Alabama. I'm, just tired of seeing them on TV win.
>> Steve Jordahl: Well, listen, this does not appear to be the Nick Saban Alabama. The appearing consistent. They've been pulling out games. they overcame a 17 point deficit.
>> Tim Wildmon: I know what they did. I saw it.
>> Steve Jordahl: Okay?
>> Tim Wildmon: I saw it. It was a great comeback by Alabama. My wife Allison, during football season, we're always watching, we love watching college football. And if Alabama is like, you know, about to get beat, quote, she always says, you know what's going to happen at the end, right? Yeah, I know what's going to happen at the end. But anyway, Alabama the greatest tradition in all of college football. there are teams that are right behind them, but nobody has more of a winning tradition. Alabama. But this, this slate of games we got coming up in, a week or so is just going to be dynamite.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: January 1st, you got Oregon and Texas Tech, you got Alabama and Indiana. That's the winning is one of the probably. No, the winningest football program in the history of college football as far as national championships with a newcomer again against, against the losingest. Indiana's lost more games than any school in America, I think, in college football. So the winning is just playing the lose, losing.
>> Steve Jordahl: And it's going to be a challenging game.
>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, yeah, Indiana's favorite, and then you got Ole Miss, you know, going to play the Sugar bowl against Georgia. And Ole Miss went to Athens and almost beat Georgia in the regular season. So that's a rematch. And then you got Miami and Ohio State. So I'm going to tell you, most of Americans who don't have a dog in this hunt, so to speak, want to see Texas Tech, Indiana or Ole Miss win. Yeah, because they're, These other schools are the Blue Buds, and they always win every year.
>> Steve Jordahl: I would agree that's what's. That's probably how people are moving, but, yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: So I have nothing against these other schools, but I'm pulling for Texas. Tech, Indiana or Ole Miss.
>> Steve Jordahl: There you go.
>> Tim Wildmon: hey, stand up for the little guy.
>> Steve Jordahl: There you go. I want to. Before we get started, I want to give a shout out to Bethel, Apostolic Church in Amory. Heather, and I went to their Christmas program last year. Oh, man, they.
>> Tim Wildmon: In Amory, Mississippi.
>> Steve Jordahl: Amory, Mississippi. They. They knocked it out of the park. It was such a good program. It's a smaller church, but what they did would have fit in any size church. It was really well done. Congratulations.
>> Tim Wildmon: What was the name of the church?
>> Steve Jordahl: Bethel Apostolic Church.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, wonderful.
Fred Seibert: Some say Australia should not be surprised by anti Semitism
All right. You're listening to today's issues on American Family Radio. Fred, what's the first story we got here you wanted to bring up?
>> Fred Jackson: Well, we know just about 10 days ago, that massacre of Jewish people who were celebrating Hanukkah there in Australia at Bondi be. of course, many stories have come out of that, but the Prime Minister of Australia, is under fire. Some people say we should not be surprised at what happened in Australia because there have been incidents of anti Semitism that the government of Australia has basically turned its eye to. We have here audio from a, a woman who is a reporter in Australia. And, she. I think this is, cut number 10. There's two cuts here. I want to make sure we have the right one. And, she is a reporter, Eryn Molin, and, she is really talking about these incidents of antisemitism. let's try to, go with cut number nine here.
>> Eryn Mullen: I am not Jewish, but I spoke out on October 9th when we saw people celebrate in this country the greatest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust. We had people outside the Opera House chanting, gas to Jews. Where are the Jews? Waving terrorist flags celebrating murder and massacre. Then you look at synagogues firebombed with Jewish people inside schools graffitied cars set alight outside Jewish homes. The Harbour Bridge, another iconic Australian landmark known all around the world. We had 100,000 people march across that waving the flags of the Taliban, chanting death to Jews, holding up signs of terrorists. You know, yourself in your own country, when things like this happen, it is a moment for your leaders to stand up and say, not on my watch. We didn't have that in this country. It has been incident after incident after incident. Then throw in the way, our government has completely capitulated and been praised by terrorist organizations. By Hamas.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. So who is that talking there?
>> Fred Jackson: Eryn Mullen. She is a, reporter, correspondent there in Australia. Yeah, just these incidents that she outlined there. That's what's been going on in Australia since the October 7, 2023 massacre in, in Israel when those more than 1200 people were massacred by Hamas terrorists. This is the kind of thing that's been allowed to occur in Australia. And saying, basically, she's saying we ought not to be surprised what happened on that celebration there eight days ago of Hanukkah when those Jews were gunned down by these two guys, a father and a son.
>> Steve Jordahl: And that attack, we're learning that that was a very organized attack and could have been a lot worse. I think it was stopped. I don't know, Fred. Those six people that were stopped, or the number of people who were stopped four days later, is that part of that same.
>> Fred Jackson: The father and son had bombs which didn't go off, obviously, but just, horrible. And this Eryn Mollen and others are holding the Prime Minister of Australia responsible for what happened. He even apologized. He says, I'm, you know, basically I'm taking responsibility for what happened on that beach in Australia. So hopefully something good will come out of this horrible incident just over eight days ago in Australia that they'll, they'll do something about this anti Semitism in that state, which, Which, Tim, we talked about this before, makes no rational sense. It is spiritual against the Jewish people there.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, the Jews in Israel have. The Jews in Australia have nothing to do with what's going on in Israel. No, they're just Jews.
>> Fred Jackson: Yes.
>> Tim Wildmon: I mean, so, so the, the, the Muslim, jihadis that kill people, now, they, they're targeted sometimes, like with this case with the Jews, but they're also indiscriminate. they'll. They'll bomb an American, whatever, or somewhere around the world, they just want to kill. They kill people in the name of killing the infidel. there's not another example of this where people are killed by other groups at the level, anywhere near the level. There isn't a Christian, or a Jewish example, or a Hindu or, any other religion I can think of that is as violent as Islam is on an international scale.
>> Steve Jordahl: Right. Because there's so many 20 countries or so that are Islamic run, states. That kind of ideology comes from the very top of the leadership. Of the state. Now there are you mentioned Hindus. There are I think Hindu radicals that are persecuting Christians and everything. But yes, not to the extent because I think Fred is exactly right. This is a spiritual war and Satan does not like God's chosen people.
CBS News editor in chief pulls controversial story two hours before airtime
>> Tim Wildmon: Next story.
>> Steve Jordahl: All right, there's a sea change going on in American media right now and the nexus of this is CBS News. the chief cbs, News editor in chief is Bari Weiss and she's just been there a short while. they had piece ready to go on 60 Minutes talking about Venezuelan migrants that were deported to El Salvador. And about two hours before airtime Barry Weiss stopped the pulled it from the, from 60 Minutes. Said it needed more reporting. Weiss claimed the story needed more reporting. Specifically she wanted an interview with Stephen Miller or some other high ranking Trump official because basically as we've been seeing for years now, this was going to be a hit piece on Donald Trump and Barry Weiss wanted some balance in the story. So they pulled it.
>> Tim Wildmon: 60 Minutes is the legendary news show on CBS. Probably been around 40 or 50 years, something of that nature, long time. So well good for them. CBS Now, CBS, 60 Minutes, that news magazine, CBS, news as we said, they have now a a lady in charge who's fair minded. Yes, she's of a liberal persuasion but she wants to be fair to the conservative side. Correct. In order to regain trust of viewers so they don't just end up with just, just one half of America watching potentially. But they want everybody to be feel so, so kudos to cbs I think.
>> Steve Jordahl: So there's a lot of internal strife about this. People complaining, saying that she's saying about what they're saying that Barry Weiss is censoring them and everything. But I agree, I agree. I don't think it's as much who she want. They do want an audience obviously, but I think she's probably after more after a balanced, fair, accurate reporting video.
>> Tim Wildmon: She's trying to keep them from losing and having to close down talking about 60 Minutes because they don't have any viewers left. So what she's trying to do is save CBS News. And, and she, she as I say she herself is a liberal. She's from NewSong York Times, but she's one of the few that are honest about it and fair minded towards conservatives. And that's why she said listen, before we're going to put this piece on national television, we need to interview somebody high up at the Trump, in the Trump White House so they can give their side of what's going on with the El Salvador in prison situation. Is that what it was?
>> Fred Jackson: Yeah, the ones that have been deported there, under President Trump and she was down there interviewing them and gee, we should be shocked by this. They say they've been treated unfairly. It's a prison.
>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right. And not an American prison either.
Paisley Jordan: I just want to keep your reputation intact
All right, you're listening to today's issues on American Family Radio. Tim, Fred and Steve, what's your next story? Steve? Paisley Jordan. Did I call you Paisley Jordan earlier? I did. Okay. I just want to keep your reputation.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, I'm wearing it today too.
>> Tim Wildmon: Thank you, Paisley. Going on.
>> Steve Jordahl: I appreciate that very much.
Tim Ferriss: Elon Musk is developing robots to replace human labor
I want to talk about Elon Musk. He's about to be the most powerful person in the world that the world has ever known by far. he had a victory with his full self driving V14 Tesla. It achieved something that nobody thought was possible. It drove intervention free from Los Angeles to NewSong York. Not on highways with perfect lane markings. I'm reading this from a, Twitter feed by Mario Nafal. Not on highways with perfect lane markings, but through construction zones. Unexpected detour marks, Manhattan traffic. Tesla's fleet of ah, 6 million vehicles has been training this AI with billions of real world data. But he, Elon Musk has another vehicle. it's, it's actually a robot and it is doing amazing things called Optimist. If you look up Optimus now on YouTube or something, you can see videos of this robot doing things that you would not think possible by a robot. It uses identical neural networks that the driving car does. So while it's been the Tesla's been training the driving part, it's also been training Optimus to do real world track. Tesla is targeting $20,000 per Optimus unit. The global labor force is 3.5 billion people. If Optimus replaces just 10% of the labor has 350 million units. That's a $7 trillion company that he is getting ready to launch. And he is, he is, what this is saying is this is not theoretical anymore. This is industrial planning because these things are going to be able to do just about everything that a, ah, human can do. They can pound nails.
>> Tim Wildmon: So this is what Elon Musk is. He's got a so robotic company that, I mean a company that makes robots and it's about to be Optimus and.
>> Steve Jordahl: He'S releasing, he's putting these things out as replacement workers.
>> Tim Wildmon: So just to review Elon Musk's career heretofore we've got. He started with PayPal, right.
>> Steve Jordahl: He started with even before that. But yeah, there was a company even before that that he invented, that he started. Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: And he may parlayed that into Tesla.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: And then the Starlink.
>> Fred Jackson: Right.
>> Tim Wildmon: Which is the satellite.
>> Steve Jordahl: One of them. The boring company.
>> Tim Wildmon: The boy, what is that?
>> Steve Jordahl: That's. He's a, it's a company. He drills tunnels under the cities and puts subways and roads under cities. Very successful.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. And now he's doing, SpaceX. SpaceX and robotics.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: I would just ask you, Fred, what have you done with your life?
>> Fred Jackson: Wow. You know, this is fascinating and I tell you what, laborers in various industries need to pay attention. Here's what he's advertising. Robot Optimist. I'll sell you optimist for $20,000. Company A $20,000. your workers now work eight hours a day. Optimist will work 24 hours a day for you. for $20,000, one time payment. You get this robot for you 24 hours a day. Okay.
>> Tim Wildmon: I'm all for making our lives more efficient. Right. And, and you know, easier on the back, so to speak. the inventions, in the 20th century in particular, just, you know, the inventions of the 20th century were superior to inventions any other time in human history. I'm talking about the collective, I'm not talking about just one like the printing press and the 1600. No, no, no, printing press in the. They have 1500s. Anyway, my point is that the inventions that have happened since 20th century up to now have just have been world changers. Right. So, wrote. But I'm not sure this coming age of robotics is going to be good because doesn't that put a lot of people out of work? And what are they going to do and how are they going to make a living if everything's going to be done by robots? Steve, there are two versions.
>> Steve Jordahl: In my mind there are two versions of what could happen. One I call the Star Trek version. And this is what Elon Musk subscribes to. You will be able to work at your own choice. You can choose to work, to do whatever you want. the money is going to be a little more irrelevant because everything will be free. It's a panacea. Ah, Utopia. That. I don't know that Democrat.
>> Tim Wildmon: Where the Democrats going to get their votes from?
>> Steve Jordahl: I know you wonder, don't you? but then there's the terminator version of the future where these things kind of take over and, and we're. We're nothing but farm animals. I'm going to pass my phone, to you, Tim, and I'll show you. This is an Optimus robot dancing. I just mailed this, clip to Brent and he can post it on our,
>> Tim Wildmon: Is this real?
>> Steve Jordahl: This is real.
I predict within the next five years you'll have a robot that can detect cancer
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. And this is a, robot. Optimus is the name of the company making these robots.
>> Steve Jordahl: And it's owned by Tesla, actually is making these. But yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay.
>> Fred Jackson: Wow.
>> Tim Wildmon: It's like Michael Jackson.
>> Steve Jordahl: He's doing. Yeah, the soundtrack is a Michael Jackson song. But, that's.
>> Tim Wildmon: It is.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, but that's. This is what they can do. They can. They. I got another video of these things folding shirts. so we, we keep saying, maybe the trades, but I wouldn't put it past these guys to build a house either. So. I don't know. A lot of interesting stuff coming down the line.
>> Fred Jackson: It's interesting. I just looked up. What kind of work does Optimus, do? The robot is being trained to use tools, interact with household appliances, and perform duties in a home setting, such as uploading groceries and watering plants. There you go.
>> Tim Wildmon: All right.
>> Fred Jackson: Every house should have one.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Fred Jackson: And it doesn't talk back.
>> Steve Jordahl: At least not yet.
>> Tim Wildmon: We also need a. Yes, dear. robot.
>> Steve Jordahl: You can maybe program your optimist.
>> Tim Wildmon: Every male in America who's married knows what I'm talking about.
>> Steve Jordahl: Judges have one of those.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Where it says, yes, dear. You're right, dear. glad to do it, honey. Those kinds of things. We need a robot that does all that. Huh? that way your robot can do all that, make your wife happy, and you still get to go golf or fish.
>> Steve Jordahl: There you go.
>> Tim Wildmon: How about that? Read you for that.
>> Fred Jackson: That's it. It's just amazing what's going hot. It holds some dangers. It really does.
>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, yeah. oh, yeah. Especially, you know, the robotics, robots. And then also you talk about artificial intelligence. They're not one in the same, but they're related. And, you know, it's inevitable it's going to happen. But you could see some bad things happen as a result of artificial intelligence.
>> Steve Jordahl: And I think when we do our 20, 26 year end show, like a year from now, we're going to be talking about things we had no idea we were going to be talking about.
>> Tim Wildmon: Which I also think you're going to see some very good things happen from. You know, I'm, I'm no expert by any means, but, I'M thinking in relationships to health.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah. Cancer treatments.
>> Tim Wildmon: Cancer treatments, they're going to change as a result of artificial intelligence. I predict within the next five years you're probably going to have a, some kind of a scan that you can do that doesn't harm you, that can detect cancer. now that's already available. We all know the full body scans.
>> Steve Jordahl: You.
>> Tim Wildmon: Full body scans. You can, you can write. because I asked about this, I'm getting them getting diverted a little bit here. But when my wife Allison got Hodgkin's lymphoma three years ago, which she's cured now. Praise the Lord God.
>> Fred Jackson: Yes.
>> Tim Wildmon: And the University of Alabama Birmingham Medical center. And so she's cured. That's what they called it. You're graduated. Because she had this stem cell, transplant which gave her. Got rid of the Hodgkin's lymphoma. Anyway, it's a blood cancer, but I'm just saying that she had the full body scans like several times. And anybody listening to me right now who's known, anybody who has cancer, they have the scans. Right. So. But, but now you do. Those scans aren't. Aren't good for you. Some of, some of them, they, they, the scans aren't good for you themselves.
>> Steve Jordahl: X rays, but, but you.
>> Tim Wildmon: Now you can, if you want to drive to Nashville or Atlanta from where I live and get a full body cancer. Ah, screen. You. Can you write a check for three grand or three, 3,500 grand, something like that, and they'll do it for you.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.
Fred Whitaker: I think there's going to be cheaper medical treatments
>> Tim Wildmon: but I'm just talking about. I think there's going to be something even simpler than that coming cheaper. Probably cheaper than that coming up in the next five years where you're just going to be able to, you know, pay $500 or something like that and, and go anywhere, any, any, any hospital in the country.
>> Steve Jordahl: But I doubt it.
>> Tim Wildmon: That's what I'm guessing is going to happen with A.I. yeah.
>> Fred Jackson: well, it is a good time. You know, medical treatments, as you say, are advancing, I think I read some time ago, where even they, they're going to be able to take like a little baby and they can, they can start looking at, serve hidden vulnerabilities inside of genes.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Fred Jackson: And they can pull those out.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Fred Jackson: That. So it's, there's a lot.
>> Tim Wildmon: So detect maybe, infant, problems in the womb that they can fix.
>> Fred Jackson: That they can fix.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yes.
>> Fred Jackson: Exciting.
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, we're very scientific in medical. Are we Fred, with our terminology that they can fix.
>> Fred Jackson: There we go.
>> Tim Wildmon: Fix. All out of time. We got a minute to go. What do you guys.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, I want to play this. This is, Milan, Missouri. We can, bow out of this when we need to. But he's a Slovak politician of the European Commission, and he says Europe, Europe, the EU hates freedom. Cut.
>> Milan Mazurek: you just hate freedom. You hate free and proud people all over Europe. And especially you hate people who love their nations, who love their countries, and who love their children, because those people are your biggest enemies. Those people want to preserve their countries as they remember them from time they were children. They want to preserve their countries free, independent, safe, clean and beautiful. They want their countries without hordes of illegal aliens killing and raping women and children in the streets. And they want their countries without daily terrorist attacks. And that's why you want to destroy freedom of speech on social media. You know very well that if those kind of people will have a right to freely.
>> Tim Wildmon: Who is that?
>> Steve Jordahl: This is a, member of the European Parliament. His name is Milan Mazurek.
>> Tim Wildmon: Where is he from?
>> Steve Jordahl: Slovak. Slovakian.
>> Tim Wildmon: And he's, he's saying that European Union is trying to meld everybody into one. And, he's also saying that they are censoring criticism.
>> Steve Jordahl: He went on to say, if they were able to know the truth, they wouldn't bow to the green scam and the gay trans scam.
>> Tim Wildmon: He sounds like, to me, he's basically giving the message of Donald Trump over there to the European Union. Well, good for him. I liked everything you said. He's proud of his country and wants to preserve its heritage and not be swamped by these immigrants, coming in from around the world. We'll be back tomorrow. Have a great day. Keep listening to American Family Radio. Thanks for joining us.
