>> Steve Jordahl: Today's Issues continues on AFR with your host, Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association.

>> Tim Wildmon: Hey, welcome back, everybody, to Today's issues. We got 24 and a half more minutes left on the show today. Thanks for listening. I'm Tim with Wesley and Ray. And joining us now in studio is, Steve Paisley. Gerald. Good morning, brother Steve.

>> Steve Jordahl: Morning, everybody.

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, what's happening, Steve?

>> Steve Jordahl: let me just get to two really quickly, breaking things. someone fired, some shots at the U.S. consulate in Toronto, Canada, overnight. No one was hurt. they're looking for suspects. They don't have a whole lot of leads with all the ring cams going around. I'm sure they'll find some way to track down some people. But just so. So you know, it happened. Someone was firing shots at the U.S. consulate. And then I've got a, declaration, kind of an independence from Iran's the state of Iran. The district in Iran that contains Iran's largest oil field. It's a very influential district. It's in the southwest part of the country. It's right next to Kuwait. It borders on the port, the Arabian Sea there. And it's called, Khuzestan is the name of, the place. And they sent a message. And what their message is, we call for the complete overthrow of the Islamic Republic and establishment of a secular democratic government. Unity for all Iranians who want cultural diversity, and then they support Reza Pahlavi's leadership. So within Iran. This is going to be like a state within Iran saying, we want out of the mullets. So that might be something significant down the road.

Steve: They've officially made that announcement. They're saying, we want out

I just thought I'd bring it to your.

>> Wesley Wildmon: They've officially made that announcement.

>> Steve Jordahl: They did. They wrote it in a, It wrote it in a. I studied Farsi for 10 minutes so I could know. This is, This, ah, is really kind of cool. I took this picture. This is a picture in Arabic, in Farsi. I loaded it under ChatGPT and I said, translate this. And it didn't take five. It didn't take a minute. And I had, what, translation? Yep.

>> Tim Wildmon: How did you. Did you hold it? How did you do that?

>> Steve Jordahl: I took a picture. I took a picture.

>> Tim Wildmon: A copy of the picture of the.

>> Steve Jordahl: Of the document.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay.

>> Wesley Wildmon: The official document. They're saying, we want out.

>> Steve Jordahl: I pasted it into CHAT GPT and say, please translate. Bam.

>> Tim Wildmon: You know how to do that, right? I do. What Steve did.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. And. And I've done that kind of thing myself. And I'm like, okay, how do you pronounce the name of that state. Kuza. Kuzis.

>> Steve Jordahl: Kuza, Stand.

>> Tim Wildmon: And it's down by. It's next to Kuwait. It is close to it, right?

>> Steve Jordahl: Yes.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. And it's on the Persian Gulf.

>> Steve Jordahl: It's pretty good. And it's a main port. It's got the largest oil field in all of Iran. So it's a pretty significant,

>> Tim Wildmon: Wow, that's a bright. So a breakaway state.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah. Yeah. we kind of wonder who's going to come within Iran.

>> Tim Wildmon: That's a start.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: You know, the other thing is, Stan, the worst. The. The word. If it's a word, st a ns got to mean something like country or land. Huh? Huh? Because, I mean, we got. We got What? We got 27 stands over there, right?

>> Tim Wildmon: Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, going right. You're doing good. How many stands you got there?

>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, there's. There's one.

>> Tim Wildmon: Kyrgyzstan, Kurdistan. Is that an official country?

>> Tim Wildmon: Kyrgyzstan? That's over by China. Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: So we got the stands over there, but there is a whole. Whole bunch of them bunched up right there.

>> Tim Wildmon: Steve, let me. Let me ask you.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yes.

>> Tim Wildmon: Or in that pronouncement, which is huge. Huge. They. They said they wanted Reza Pahlavi.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yes.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. He's the son of the former Shah.

>> Steve Jordahl: He is the son of the former Shah of Iran. And, they say we support him as a unifying figure among national forces.

>> Tim Wildmon: He's on Fox News all the time.

>> Steve Jordahl: His can help create broad cooperation among political groups to pass through this historic stage. And by the way, Stand, S T, A N. It is a. A, Persian suffix meaning country of or land of.

>> Tim Wildmon: So I was right on that.

>> Tim Wildmon: Good job.

It could also mean it's a gift. I just know these things

>> Steve Jordahl: Yes, you were.

>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, really? I just. I just know these things.

>> Wesley Wildmon: But it could also mean. No, I'm just kidding.

>> Tim Wildmon: I just. It's a gift. It's a gift.

Steve: How regime change could start in Iran is unclear

>> Tim Wildmon: One other thing I would. Steve, about this is how regime change could start.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, well, we've been wondering. it's kind of not easy, but, we've successfully decapitated the current regime, down, according to Donald Trump, within a couple, like two or three levels deep. But we're not putting group, boots on the ground. We're not going to do the Iraq thing where we go in and we pick a government and we try to get them started. How they resolve this now is up to them. But this is a start. At least it's somebody that's stepping up and saying, okay, here's a plan.

>> Tim Wildmon: You know, the best case scenario. Well, I don't know if there's a best case. This is. This is. This is so volatile that, I mean, I'm expecting maybe a civil war at some point where the people start, to get armed and. And they start fighting the military. The military and the police, which are representative of the Islamic regime there. So they start. They start fighting it out in the streets. Perhaps, or are the members of the military and. And. Or police start turning on the ayatollah, and his hench. His henchmen. They are his henchmen. The people that surround him. And that. That takes a. Somebody's got to be the first one.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: And that first one is. Ray. Is going to risk everything. Risk getting their head chopped off.

>> Wesley Wildmon: The timings, great. Either because they tried that about a month or a month and a half ago, but they didn't have this type.

>> Tim Wildmon: You got to have guns, though.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, that's right.

>> Tim Wildmon: That's why, you know, looking back at our founding fathers in the Second Amendment, that that holds true even today. That is that you. You have to have, If you. If the citizens are unarmed.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: Then they're vulnerable to, tyranny. Tyranny. Because the. Those who have the guns will. And the weapons will suppress them. So, that's what our. Our founders knew that. So we need. You need an. You need people in Iran. They don't have guns themselves.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right.

>> Tim Wildmon: you know, the average.

>> Steve Jordahl: You've been taken away.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right. So maybe. Maybe they'll somehow get them and something. Some kind of militia. I don't know. I don't know. Hate to see a civil war, bloody civil war. But at the same time, it may come to that. If. If the. The, you know, people can't.

>> Tim Wildmon: You know, the timing of this is. Wesley, as you said, it's very crucial. It's a critical matter. There's no way. There is no way. A province. Is it a province or a state? What's the right.

>> Steve Jordahl: I think, province would be the best stand.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Steve Jordahl: It's okay. We'll say, well, the province.

>> Tim Wildmon: There's no way. This province, which is crucial, you said it has the biggest oil field. There's no way six months ago they would have done this.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: Because they would have been absolutely crushed.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: By the forces in Tehran. The only way they could dare to do this is because they know there's been a decapitation, and they don't think Tehran can.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right. They're not capable of doing that right now.

Uh, for you to pay attention to if you ever go to a dentist

Okay. we also got this, fake Dennis story.

>> Steve Jordahl: Okay.

>> Tim Wildmon: I wanted to get to.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yes.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yes.

>> Tim Wildmon: So I think this is a cautionary tale, ladies and gentlemen.

>> Tim Wildmon: That's right.

>> Tim Wildmon: for you to pay attention to if you ever go to a dentist. Go ahead, Steve.

Woman arrested for performing dental work without a license in New Jersey

>> Steve Jordahl: All right, so we are in NewSong Jersey. A woman was arrested for performing dental work without a license. And what's even worse, this is kind of the stuff of nightmares. So this guy pays $1,000 for a procedure.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Steve Jordahl: And, the lady's name is Anna Amato.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, Anna.

>> Steve Jordahl: He saw her advertise and what's up? And so he brings the thousand dollars, and she's gonna do a root canal. if you know what that is. That's where they take the tooth out and they dig down around, and they need to know.

>> Tim Wildmon: I've had a bunch of them. Yeah.

>> Steve Jordahl: Oh, my gosh.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Steve Jordahl: And so, it's a pretty serious surgery. It's a very serious surgery.

>> Tim Wildmon: Nothing good can happen now.

>> Steve Jordahl: No.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, so we got a man goes

>> Tim Wildmon: in thinking, he's going to a regular dentist. Right. So.

>> Tim Wildmon: So we got, a rabbi, a preacher, and a go into a dentist office. No, this is a serious story.

>> Steve Jordahl: So this is a true story.

>> Tim Wildmon: A true story.

>> Steve Jordahl: So he arrives on September 22 to

>> Tim Wildmon: her office, Needs a root canal.

>> Steve Jordahl: Needs a root. she injected his gum with anesthetic.

>> Tim Wildmon: She doesn't have a license, but he doesn't know this.

>> Steve Jordahl: No. Then she starts drilling the tooth.

>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, wow.

>> Steve Jordahl: And she said the. The article here from NewSong York Post says then she drilled his tooth and started the procedure before abruptly stopping.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Steve Jordahl: And telling the man to return later in the week. And before he went back to have the procedure completed, Amato informed him that she couldn't finish the procedure and gave him a list of dentists who could complete her work. She's been arrested for faking it.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, she was arrested for faking being. Being a fake dentist.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Okay? So I don't want to mess up the fun here. Y' all finish up laughing. I got some questions.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay.

>> Wesley Wildmon: I hate Robbie.

>> Tim Wildmon: It's funny if it's not you, in the dental chair.

>> Wesley Wildmon: This is supposed to be a story.

>> Tim Wildmon: Act your serious question.

>> Wesley Wildmon: How is it that, like, where was this? Is this a building? Or is this at her house? Like, you know, usually in NewSong Jersey? Yeah, but you usually, like, go to a dentist office, and there's multiple. There's accountability because you've got to check in at the front.

>> Steve Jordahl: She had an office. She had an arrived at her office in South River, NewSong Jersey.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right. So she has a real op. She paid. She got a Real office. She's got a sign out front. and.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, you got a secretary, too, that checks in?

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, a dental assistant who does all the work. probably.

>> Tim Wildmon: How does this house.

>> Tim Wildmon: How does this happen? That's a good. That's what we all want to know. But the poor fella, he thought he. He probably didn't go to the dentist at all. He's probably having a toothache. He goes and she says, you have to have a root canal. And, then she gets halfway done with it, and, of course, she doesn't even know what she's doing. and she says, come back next week.

>> Steve Jordahl: The Post says Amato was not licensed to practice dentistry. A growing problem with ads on social media. Oh, wow.

>> Tim Wildmon: I don't like that.

>> Tim Wildmon: So you're telling me fake dentist is a growing problem?

>> Steve Jordahl: That's what the Post says, yes.

>> Wesley Wildmon: We got fake news, right? Fake dentist.

>> Tim Wildmon: You know.

>> Tim Wildmon: All right.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yikes.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: All right. It's, You made the look on his face when he was told, we're gonna finish this up next week.

>> Wesley Wildmon: She got her money. He got his money back there, right?

>> Tim Wildmon: Huh? I guess he paid.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Paid her $1,000, didn't he?

>> Steve Jordahl: When a man returned to the office to retrieve his $300 down, she refused. And that's when they called the cops.

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, she did. Half a half a root can. Now, I would give his money back. What you paid for. You didn't ask me. You didn't ask me whether I had a license or not. That's right.

>> Tim Wildmon: That's right. You didn't raise that question.

>> Tim Wildmon: You'd asked me, I'd have told. I'm working on it. I'm working on it. I do read Google.

Two people throw improvised explosive devices at anti-Muslim protest in New York

>> Steve Jordahl: All right, I want to update you on what's going on in NewSong York City. you may remember we talked about this yesterday. There was a protest being held outside of Zoran Mandani's mayor's mansion. and it was, somebody. Two people threw IEDs, improvised explosive devices. These were bombs. The same kind of thing that they put on the roadside that got a bunch of our troops in Iraq when, during the war, they threw these things at the protesters. The protest was about protesting public prayers, in NewSong York City. And it was by a. Is led by a gentleman named Jake Lang, who has been described as white supremacist. I don't know that for sure. I know he was connected with the JJ. With the J6. Anyway, the counter protesters showed up and here. And so Amir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were arrested. Let me just play you really quick. This is NewSong York.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, before you do that, can I reset this for just a minute? Not that you didn't do a good job here because, it gets kind of confusing. I want people to understand what's going on here. You have the mayor's residence in NewSong York City. You have a, few. A handful of people that are demonstrating and having some kind of a protest out in front of the mayor's house. These people are protesting m. The Muslim prayers being allowed, right loud.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Over the speakers, over loudspeakers.

>> Tim Wildmon: They're protesting to. In front of the mayor house. The loud. The Muslim prayers being allowed on loudspeakers across, I guess, NewSong York City. And, and so two other people come in. Not a part of that protest. They're there to do harm to the pro, to those who are having their rally.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Wesley Wildmon: They're peaceful.

>> Tim Wildmon: So they throw or an ieds, and they are meant, to blow up and kill people.

>> Steve Jordahl: Exactly.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right, yes. And so, so pick it up right there.

Mayor Mamdani came out with a statement condemning Jake Lang and the protesters

>> Steve Jordahl: All right, so, they were arrested and Jessica Tisch, who's the NewSong York Police Department commissioner, is talking about their, identity with the terror group isis. Let's listen to cut eight. After waiving his rights, he requested paper and wrote a message declaring, in part, I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. Die in your rage, you kuffar now. Die in your rage is a commonly known ISIS slogan. And kuffar is an Arabic term that refers to non believers. He also told investigators that he had hoped to carry out an attack even bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing, which he noted resulted in only three deaths. Well, the outrage.

>> Wesley Wildmon: So we don't have to wonder the motive here.

>> Steve Jordahl: Well, we don't, but here's the outrage. Mayor Mamdani came out with a statement immediately condemning Jake Lang and the protesters, calling them Islamophobic, calling them white supremacists, calling them evil, and they shouldn't be doing this, and then he kind of haphazardly, denounces the violence, didn't certainly say what side the violence was coming from. And he definitely never identified them as, being terrorists. Identified with isis.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, but he did later, didn't he? Or did he not?

>> Steve Jordahl: I don't know he's ever come out with the terrorism label. I'd have to look.

>> Steve Jordahl: But, what? He has denounced the violence itself.

>> Wesley Wildmon: I can't. I hadn't seen the video of this yet. Or if there is a video, what kept them from getting shot by the police if you're throwing bombs?

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, okay. Some kind of. I don't know. Right. You know, understand more about this. Stories about how they planted these IEDs, or did they toss them out there.

>> Tim Wildmon: It sounded. It sounded like that. It sounded like the second thing, like they just tossed them out there.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. They didn't. They didn't detonate, though?

>> Steve Jordahl: No, no.

>> Tim Wildmon: thank God they didn't. But they said these two teenagers who were caught, who were ISIS sympathizers, said they wanted to do more harm than what happened to the Boston Marathon.

>> Steve Jordahl: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: In the name of Allah. In the name of Islamic supremacy.

>> Steve Jordahl: Correct.

>> Tim Wildmon: Which is ironic because the mayor came out and condemned white supremacist.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yes, he did.

>> Tim Wildmon: Which, by the way, the guy who was protesting the Muslim prayers over loudspeakers, that is, he even claimed that he's motivated by white supremacy. No, this is like any white person that commits, that protest anything is already just labeled a white supremacist without even any evidence.

>> Steve Jordahl: I have, I have seen a statement from him saying that he would like to deputize the proud boys. And so he's associated himself with some questionable right wing people. I don't know that.

>> Tim Wildmon: But even not. I would just say this. Even if somebody's right wing, which I'm right wing.

>> Steve Jordahl: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: if you want to say my politics, but I'm not a white supremacist. No. So I don't think everybody who's a right winger is a white supremacist. I think that's the tag that the left wing media and others want to put on people like us to discredit us among the general population. Oh, that's what Trump's called. He's a white supremacist. Well, okay, you can criticize Trump and others if you want to, for their politics, that's fine. It's America. But don't put a label on them that's not provable and not true. It's. It's just. It's an easy thing to do. Just throw the. Hey, just call them a white supremacist and be done with it. And that's all you need to do. So instead of criticizing their politics, and use reason, you, just say, oh, they're white supremacists, so dismiss them.

>> Wesley Wildmon: so I'm looking at the video now. I found it. Now, it's a small portion of the entire incident, but the gentleman that, Well, the gentleman, the terrorist, he lights the bomb on, the edge of the sidewalk and then runs toward the crowd of police officers. And it did not go off, thankfully. Otherwise there would have been a lot of people injured or even possibly killed, obviously. And so, I don't know, I just think, you know, I'm just.

>> Tim Wildmon: They arrested those guys, they'd be charged them.

>> Wesley Wildmon: But if you run around with the bomb, you should get shot, I think. Well, it's just my opinion.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, it looks like they're in a fairly crowded area. They're throwing it over people. And so I don't know that it

>> Tim Wildmon: may have happened so quick. The cops didn't know what was going on. Exactly.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: You know, they made a. And it may not even look like

>> Wesley Wildmon: a bomb, you know, and what I'm implying, by the way, and then we can move on. I'm implying that when you get into, these larger cities with more anti police, you start getting softer reactions to things because they don't want to get in trouble. And that's what I'm implying.

That's just my opinion on that. And I think. Um, you're sticking to it. Okay. You're listening to Today's issues

That's just my opinion on that. And I think.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right. you're sticking to it.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Sticking to it.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. You're listening to Today's issues on American Family Radio. Tim Wessex, Steve and Ray, Go ahead, Steve.

Fred Jackson: David French once came out against Donald Trump

>> Steve Jordahl: All right, I want to, I think we found the bottom for one of a former commentator, Christian commentator named David French, who in his day was a very solid good thinker. I talked to Jenna Ellis this morning. She said she would have him on her original podcast, often. But when Donald Trump got elected, he kind of something clicked in his brain and he got taken with Trump derangement syndrome. He is a NewSong York Times columnist because once he came out against Donald Trump, the NewSong York was more than happy to welcome him. And he wrote an opinion piece called James Tallarico is a Christian X Ray, where he says the following. He says Talarico is a political, no, let me give this. Here it is. Talarico is one of the few openly Christian politicians in the United States who acts like a Christian and by acting like a Christian reveals a profound contrast with so many members of the mega Christian movement that's dominated American politics for 10 years. So this Christian, David French, who, claims the name of Christ, is identifying himself with James Talarico. I want you to hear a little bit about what James Talarico believes.

>> Tim Wildmon: Who is he? For those who don't know, thank you.

>> Steve Jordahl: James Talarico is the Democrat candidate for Senate in Texas.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Steve Jordahl: he won this primary there last week and, he is running for the Texas Senate. But he often leads with his fate, which is a very, let's say heretical faith. We would say let's listen to what he has to say. Cut 15. I believe Christianity points to the truth. I also think other religions of love point to the same truth. There are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six. God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God, is non binary.

>> Wesley Wildmon: All right, David French.

>> Tim Wildmon: So David French is commending this guy.

>> Steve Jordahl: Oh, he's, he's his. He's the most Christian of all of. He's certainly not maga.

>> Tim Wildmon: how many, how many? He said something about six.

>> Steve Jordahl: Six genders. I don't know what they are, but

>> Tim Wildmon: who has six genders?

>> Steve Jordahl: There are, There exists in biology.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Huh?

>> Tim Wildmon: Uh-huh.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah. Oh, brother Ray.

>> Tim Wildmon: the guy's a heretic. I mean, what's.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, that's what it is. Thank you.

>> Tim Wildmon: The guy Talarico is a heretic. Now, understand, he's well spoken.

>> Wesley Wildmon: He's right.

>> Tim Wildmon: He got, he got his education in liberal Presbyterian Seminary. So he makes, he says the kind of things that mushy minded people find attractive. I'm just. David French at one point was. We all thought he was extremely conservative. Now he's. If you want to talk about tds, he's got it, I mean, really got it bad.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, it's James Carville without the profanity and the anger.

>> Tim Wildmon: That's right.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah. And, you know, there was that two to three year window there, leading up to Trump's first term and then the, you know, the year or two after. There's a lot of confusion amongst the Christian conservative evangelical m. movement about what to do and all that. And David French caused a lot of division there and during that time period and then some, and then he had a decent history leading up to that. And so now at this point, we're years after this, and it's evident that David French continues to do stuff like this. And it's a problem.

>> Tim Wildmon: Tell you what, you got to watch those French people.

>> Tim Wildmon: Just a general princess, right?

>> Steve Jordahl: All right, yeah, I agree.

>> Tim Wildmon: All right. We're out of time. We thank you for yours.

>> Wesley Wildmon: For me, that's probably a good thing. I, was about to get work.

>> Tim Wildmon: You about to get us in trouble. All right. Thank you, Steve.

>> Steve Jordahl: My pleasure.

>> Tim Wildmon: Thanks to Wesley and Ray Ray. Thank you.

>> Tim Wildmon: Thank you.

>> Tim Wildmon: let's see, Fred was here. Fred Jackson, Brent Creeley, Cole Greene. And Dr. Frank Turek was on the show today. We'll see you tomorrow, everybody. Have a great day. Keep listening to afr.
