Welcome to the pot cast. Today we listen to a little Joe Scarborough. Remember him, you might river him from when he used to have doubled trump on for another time. Are there really close friends and then he just totally flicked laughed at him and is now saying he's the worst person on earth? He goes into another randomly bizarre rant about how, if you don't want a vaccine passport, if you don't like Jesus or something, I don't even know it's hard to follow, but are you you should hear it, because it's that those are Billow Riley joins us today to go through the news of the weak on this good Friday and chain of brain is here as well from foxes channel.

It makes all of us feel wonderful about ourselves and that's really the most important thing you can do for this country: here's the pocket Riley from below rally, dot, com,
and also author of they, both killing crazy horse and killing. The mob is coming out next month, just a few weeks away order here,
copy now, wherever you by your books,
I want to talk to you bill about a couple of things here. Why?
Is the corporations that,
coming out against
Georgia and now Texas B.
Because we're trying to protect? You know
voting integrity
every corporation,
seems like it's coming out against Georgia. Of so glad to see the Georgia House passed a bill stripping Delta airlines of their tax break
because apparently you know they,
opinionated and they don't like the jaw,
your government for what they're doing fine
you lose your tax break to on jet fuel.
Hope it costs them I'll bet cost them just
but loader of money.
That you should raise taxes on Jedi fuel for Delta
the same thing is happening now in Texas,
and it's all based on lies all of it bill.
Well. When I first heard this story in Georgia, I went over the Georgia bill and I read the bill.
I was
man is always an- I posed the question in this bill.
Please tell me one thing and the entire George a bill that constricts voting. That makes it harder to vote. I didn't say one thing:
right now, then, I went over to the CEO of Coca COLA. Ceo doubted
The EU must bear the three that are criticised
joy. None are known and unknown away. You ve got bank of
Erica. You got city grew day, I'll get hurt. I mean you go you ok, the first down, ok, which statement they they made state and to see what the statements don't say what their objecting to they just say that, unlike the bill, it's him crop right. So I had my staff hold them and they can you give us one specific in the bill that prevents people from voted for makes it harder. None of them could so what this is
It is a virtue seeking play based upon the threat of a boycott which has not been made public, but I know it's there
media matters nearer the usual suspects,
going to say that if you don't get behind civil rights in this area, we're going to call for a boycott of you and, of course they folded in thirty seconds, which is what corporations do? But if you look at the statements there isn't one
specific that they can point to that. These new laws are just certainly tightened up. That's all they do legs type, the election, so that their
the prospect of poor diminishes.
Which is what you would want right. I think everybody would want they want broad
You sure would this is again the political, correct virtue,
on the part of those who have no blank an idea what's going on, but they are of great back the or fear
And they have to get on the side of the New York Ponzi Atlanta Journal Constitution. They have to get
on that five because I'm afraid, if they don't don't get fired by their boards, that's what's going on.
So what's the best way to handle that bill.
But what is the average person? Do I dont doing Coca COLA?
because it has a massive amount of sugar in it
and, as you get older, the boy, why I'm always loved it?
What did you get all the back in your ancient? The more
you'll you
gonna die
it is a right that is another point in its favour. Is me, and only then I'll do I'll be there to feel a little thing in
whatever songs I Danny boy
I want you to see and Danny boy
We gladly boy, but I will think right, but I don't drink coffee.
Deserves to my children. It dope
I like they'll go right, but now I have a choice I'll take whatever it is
not call for American airlines. American Airlines is doing the same thing now to Texas and
delta and America. American
you don't have any idea, but
You have closeted conservatives
of closeted conservatives that are so afraid of saying anything. They have secret meetings in both of your companies.
Add that is
they do. I know for a fact, and
I know that should shame on you. Shame on you for creating such an atmosphere. It
damn it's all about the oh. It's all about. I want to get too. I don't want them attacking me. I don't want it. I don't want it, I mean look, it's
so bad with the eyes that I'm going to have to take the bike lane? If I want to go anywhere now, let me let me play something from CNN and Crisco
we watch it, so you don't have to,
listen to what was said last night,
clear to them that the vaccine is the taken back to prevent damage life and the window to do that is really narrowing. You were mentioning prince about home. All these states are reopening the reopening at a hundred percent and we have a very narrow window to tie reopening policy to vaccination status because otherwise of everything is reopened there. What's the carrot going to be, how are we going to incentivize pupil to actually get the vaccine? So that's fighting the CDC and the bottom illustration needs to come out a lot Bolivar insane. If you are vaccinated, you can do all these things here, all these freedoms that you have, because otherwise people are going to go out and enjoy these freedoms anyway. Why
so we ve gotta make it so they can have the freedoms that way we can leverage those freedoms, I've via dont, think they ve ever been more clear
We're thought I know
your thoughts on these vaccine passports. Ok,
legal for the government to do it,
it's an invasion of your medical privacy forgotten, he can't do at stake Army can't do it TAT got me can't do it to target to happen private
can't do it thought you own a concert hall and you
What is the rolling stones?
ah you say: if you wanna come you gotta shores, proof of vaccination.
They can do that. That's a private concern.
Then I will I
we'll go. I will tell you, I'm a libertarian, but
there is with the great reset there is.
Collusion going on with public power
It partnerships, Ngos and the government
with corporations, and-
I'm telling you a bill that if you get a an app, if you have a piece of paper that shows I got cove id and they want to check
That piece of paper, but there
loping an app and if that app is open and has to be open to tell you where you can go in and can't go in stores shopping malls whatever,
You now have a social credit score.
Ready to happen, you have it all
all the groundwork. Is there anymore
chickens, will all be care carrying it. The next thing is all you have to
just shut down, pay pal? No, you can't pay anything for anything here. You can't
access. This you can access that. Also
she'll credit score. It's all a would already be there. I don't think that's gonna happen. I dont think that debt,
what I think is gonna happen is that certain pride
businesses and in more I live. There are two sides to every problem.
Business you're not lotta enter unless you have a mask and they can do it. They give you out, as this is a private adult,
Thing is going to get to the level where,
the government is going to be able to harm you if you're, not that it will be.
Inconvenience. If you don't get and by the way
we cannot force you to take a bath, but schools, for example
If you don't take the measles shot, your kid kick up, so
there's a lot of this has to be worked out
and I would tell people- I took the vaccination.
Yeah, I didn't, have any problem with the vaccination. I hope as many people as possible com.
The conclusion that I came to, I don't want to protect my
and we're friends, I gotta one. Three businesses year, I gotta be
who travels, who I took it and it works for me-
So that's why you really tat
Bill Riley huh. Are you nervous about killing the mob? I mean? I know you ve kept secret and kept it away from me. So I couldn't read it with an area like Eddie, I'm when I give you a lot lot right.
But I want to tell me: was its good Friday
You really really want something worthy. Today.
The movie killing. Jesus would
was nominated born at me for best television movie a few years back. That's.
Three dollars on on demand.
That is a very worthwhile film to watch on good Friday.
What you doing you I'll be happy for you and your family and didn't, and I always enjoy up
Friday's on tobacco ground, thank you,
much bill. I presume you have a good. This is the best of the blended programme. Well, I'm bomb that I am not in the studio today. I am broadcasting from my home studio in
Benjamin is has just come into the.
The newly redesigned mercury studios a time, I'm bummed, I'm not there to shake your hand and welcome you to the studios. How are you, sir? I'm doing fine? Thank you for having me. I wish I could have had my picture with you, but,
Yeah, I'm sorry and your where
tie in everything I mean wow
you're caught your Clia cleaned up for this interview, and now I really feel bad trimmed the beard
so Todd tell
Tell you what your background here.
The little bit. So we know you're a guy with credibility on this issue.
Twenty three years as a journalist, newspapers,
covering reporter
Anyone from reprint clue.
For the Dallas morning, news here in town for ten years and
Then I was
recruited to join the Texas Department of Public Safety's intelligence and counter terrorism division and
in two thousand and nine, and I went into in telling the intelligence business. I guess in the states, Multi
agency, fusion centre in Austin
where I work, Winwood effusions explain
effusion centre is because this is a really important aspect.
Fusion centres other there are fifty or more,
across the country there. May they were bill,
two after nine eleven as sharing houses of sharing
so you have like all the federal agencies are all under one, how a one roof with state.
Local, so there's FBI and ice, and
de I and all every possible agency. We had fifteen different federal agencies under our roof. We all had.
Security, clearances and all worked on the same issues and problems, including here in tax.
Of course, the border,
who's coming over that border, and then I did that for nine years and left in twenty eighteen to join this centre for immigration studies,
as a senior national security fellows. I been there for a couple years. I've been out of the business out of
TAT business our eye. So
You have a book out called America's covert border war and it
details? What is really going on in coming across our border
at any given time and the details are actually quite
terrifying,
because we just think you know American Ike, I guess will at once once the news stop talking about it like we only seem to have a problem with rising gas prices when the new
tells us we should have a problem with rising gas prices
they're not telling us what's coming across the border, so
give us a look into what's happening.
At any given time on our border and who's coming across sure. What
to start with all year every year.
There is a stream of flow. A river of migrants who are coming to the southern border from
countries of national security interests, people from the Middle EAST.
Of Asia think Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen,
Northern Africa, Somalia all of the Muslim Majority nations
That is not a gigantic
population come across
its significant right these days, it's probably right around three to four thousand a year being apprehended that we know of that get counted at the border and that
flow of people has given rise to a now
security enterprise and counter terrorism programmes that were built to deal with it too.
Try to detect.
Jihadis in that flow,
and to neutralize them in
It's not just at the border, but it's all
throughout Latin America, South America, where are they
those are the passage
ways to other the brow
to the border I met.
Pretty complicate about how they are able to do that, but
for sure it is a topic that is taboo in their regular media. Nobody ever wants to talk about it and when anybody does man look out
well, I will tell you that nobody in the mediaeval wants to talk about the drug cartels. I know I've been at sea and an anti Bennet Fox, and no one wants to discuss the
Obscene amount of
the worst kind of horror movie violence. You could imagine, am I right on that?
Oh yeah me, the cartels are one of the greatest scourges on the planet.
They do a great deal of pain.
In an damage to
especially Mexico, but also the United States, with the drugs that they're moving in handy sex
advocating hand
indentured servitude and other forms of
violence that, like
speak up all almost yeah, I have
pictures in our files,
from something that I was never allowed to show until I started the blaze.
And they were files that I just thought people should see of
warnings being sent to people in these small border towns by the drug cartels don't screw with us and in
One bowling alley: the drug
cartels came in and had a bad
and like bowling balls, they Joe
through these severed heads on the bowling lanes D. Let everybody no.
Your friends are gone. You don't need to be, but don't
who, with us
Yeah, that's right, it's that's about,
propagandizing there
strength and control
Oh, it's not it's not that, unlike what we saw ISIS doing in Syria, when they were holding territory there, they would have
big public executions and do terrible things and burn people,
and it sends a message and it tells people
you're going to
obey us and
stay out of our way too.
Its propaganda and its incitement to.
Let's talk about the the
actual border crisis every
all the kids that are from Mexico for men.
Co proper, they are all turned around at the border right there, not part of this count. I just saw account from
the Department of Homeland Security today about all the numbers of the people. But there are, none of them are mexican. They say the Mexicans are turned right around and sent back to Mexico, not
on the children on the mexican children, I'm not sure, definitely maxim
families that are coming over with
that would be adults with children,
and that's
part of the inconsistent application across the border of policy. That's going on right now,
confusing, not
To those of us who were down their spending time with the migrants, but the migrants, the immigrants themselves,
often have no idea which
given day in which area they might be able to get across
but what we do know is
the numbers tell us that
Many many tens of thousands are getting across and being put
through the turn style,
the american Turnstile and onto buses and being transported across the country. I was on some of those buses
just last week and saw it there's a conveyor belt of
losses that are moving from the border to throughout the country. Dropping off
Foreign national families that have just been paroled in
we're paying for this with our tax dollars, well
the buses are actually immigrants or I'm told her me are paying their own way. It's not like it's huge expense.
But we are certainly enabling it facilitating it, ranging it
and providing the legal documents. Remember that
immigration is not something that is reversible in all
all cases its permanent, so whatever damage is being done now in terms
just mass numbers of people being
shift into the country.
Its permanent they're not going to be able to remove, but may
a fraction of those at any point so
I've heard people in in billow rightly makes the case, and I think he makes a pretty good case that that Joe Biden has no idea what day it is at this point
but he says you know, people don't understand in the administration and Joe Biden as I understand what the consequences are and how bad it is. I dont believe
that for a second. Do you well
You know I'm not there and not his. I don't have access to his doctors, but his ok, I've administration knocked or think I have been advocating the doktor thing out of it. His his administration surely understands what they're doing all of the people around him and he has to understand. What's happened,
as well. There is a mass migration crisis under way
that, I believe, is going to turn out to be historic in the nations history we will
never see any numbers like this. I don't think we ve seen numbers like this
already we're looking at Tom Marches is looking like it's. It's gonna come in probably at around two hundred and fifty thousand.
Apprehended that we know of the numbers aren't out yet,
but I'm told that's going to be right up in their one. Forty one, fifty it was a hundred in fabric
it's just that we know about that. If you were,
tat? Forty thousand fifty that forty percent rise from month to month, that's historic,
That is something we have never seen, that type of of a rush
crush of humanity,
bored by the end of the year. We could be at two million that have
cross border and in just this year,
and when you're down there I mean it's like a d day invasion. I mean it's raft after raft after raft for five abreast, just washing up on our side
being their load going back for more.
Day in day out, that's what it's like,
and those are just the families and children
rafts filled with children, infants
and then you have adults who are supposed to be individual non family adults who are supposed to be forty
title forty two back
a great many of those are being sent back, but they keep trying because they know that a lot of them are making it through the
What a patrol is baby sitting
processing, children and families,
certainly doesn't help when the President of the United States goes on an internationally televised press conference and says to the entire world. We will
you ve, no child behind
nobody stays in Mexico. All of you come
so they are, and they will
and that's a message: TAT:
May Eu Usa rafts of children are we talking of fifteen year olds? Ya mean you just an eye:
I assume that you were using descriptive language now
necessarily act
accurate language when you said infants
rafts in infants,
infants that that's not happening. Is it
apps filled with infants? Yes,
I don't like one adult or a couple of Dalton a raft and then
I have seen some of these rafts. Maybe ten infants fifteen it
yeah me. You can you can see, there's video out there, you can find the video and, if you talk to border patrol like I have
you, will you hear these stories of just rafts filled with infants, and you can see the video out there to infants
but also six, seven year olds and five for three toddlers,
and those that's because
the administration has messaged we're too
Children.
We're not turning children back and there are also taking family units. What
the family turns their infant or
three year old over too,
drug cartel, together
cross the border and what
Does that mean
mean the obvious. You know
rationale behind that is, is that they absolutely hate where they live
they feel that there is an open door. They don't know how long the door is going to be open, but they see
open and there is a desperate,
to get in before it closes in that
that is not my speculation. That is from
How many many interviews that I've done with the immigrants themselves in Mexico? I ll
last week, had six or seven central Americans in front of me and I
them all. I said hey if you are coming here now.
She made the decision to come here now because of something
Biden said or did raise your hand and every one of em just went like that. There are
meaning because now
because
there are able to they invited they ve been invited f course yeah. So
Thank you very much. I'd like to have you on again and specifically talk about the book America's covert border war because
right now voice of America, which is a lie
voice of America is telling us no. No, no, not, then these people aren't coming across right,
right, there's no terrorist problem according
voice of America, while, according to like all the regular media house, minority leader, Kevin Mccarthy, who came back from a trip,
couple weeks ago, saying talking about three Yemenis on the terror watchlessness. Everybody said he was a liar, stop saying
But it's true.
So we'll talk some more about this. Thank you very much Todd Todd, Bandsmen, author of America's covert border war, Senor National Security, fellow the centre for immigrants study. This is the best of the Glenda programme. Is the Glinda programme it's Friday, but also good Friday.
I would be
very ungrateful son. If I.
Didn't mention what
Dad did for us on this day. Why not
Intervening when his son is being crucified two thousand years ago I owe,
everything I owe my life. I owe everything everything to his dedication and ends,
qualifies for me. I lived my life one
For a long time and really blew it
and really didn't
really didn't think I was worth anything and because I was dating a very wise woman
who said we need God in our lives. I found him and the forgiveness
that you can allow yourself to accept- and
clean up your life and start over is is the
greatest miracle, I think one,
and receive and
the greatest miracle in my life.
Today is good Friday:
and as
no. I took when I went to college I took early
Christ, Ology from the history department.
And I learned what it was really actually alike,
at that time, and it was
brutal brutal world.
I wanted to bring JANET Bream in, because she is the author of the book, the women of the Bible speak. You
probably know her from Fox season.
Grew there,
But she is much more than just an anchor heard. She is really lead an impressive life and
she wrote the book the women of the Bible speak. Try
to find the the lessons for to day in, in the wisdom
the women in the Bible
China joins us now hygiene. And how are you glad it says?
joy to join you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So
I wanted to spend a few minutes.
Sit on Mary, since it is Friday,
cannot imagine.
Seeing this happen to your child.
What that must have been like and
and how I mean I've, I've,
just recently my daughter, Mary went in for brain surgery and we had a scare in thought. We might loser and it was
devastating just the thought. Wow
watching crucifixion tell
about what we can learn from Mary.
I mean she was there at the foot of the cause. I can't imagine, as you said, senior child wrongfully accused of being.
Tortured and beaten and watching them crucified
That is almost too much, but I feel like them,
Orton, always and especially this time of year, for us to allow ourselves to think about what that was evident.
Lighting on that and reading through the crucifixion a lot these last few weeks and thinking you have become faced it
with that in no the enormous, beautiful sight,
vice that was made for you that is
to me, an incredible message of redemption that Christ, you knew what he would face
He could have walked away from it and we see
his anguished prayers where he says you will not mine and he goes through with that to save all of us
Mary has to bear witness to that, and it's something I included in the book of them so used to studying her on the front end where she's, a space for young woman who gets visited by an angel lies about her define appointment, but we want
to follow her story. All the way through
be able to really get my mind around what it must have been like for her to sit there at that crucifixion, but to know that in the days following she was with the disciples praying in the upper room. She was a faithful, only part of launching the church,
as we now know it, and she never shied away from you ignoring
pain that her son suffered all through his life, especially during his ministry. In those final final hours,.
Women did not have a place really at the table. I mean Jesus. I
and I have nothing
two
to go on. I took I took Christ
Gee through the history department, and so we just looked at the history of those times and what it must have really been like, and I know it
not to marry Magdalen were it's it's.
It might have been a you know, the fact that
it was a prostitute might have been a fudge just because what was happening,
In the year two hundred, you know as they were, as they were assembling everything
It may be absolutely true, but
one of the reasons why it may be not accurate is for political reasons at the time, or she may have just been called that at the time.
Because she was following Jesus
And women didn't do that. Unmarried women did
follow a pack of men. Otherwise you would have been considered a whore corrected
yeah. I mean it so important to look at the context of the time, and there is debate with theological scholars who are much or a well trained there. I am, but we know where he had been delivered from a number demons and that she was born in Christ, included women in his inner circle. They were his friends. They
heart, they were allowed to teach at his feet and learn at his feet, which was an amazing thing, because that would not the norm back then, but we see it not only with very badly, but Mary
this disrepair, Martha Invariant, otter, weapon to or close to him.
And think about the women he went to work tat accepted in society, the woman who could be stored for adultery.
The american woman in a well living in shame, hee hee
never judged or condemn those people, he would say, go and say no more leave that part of your life.
I dont condemn. You accept you you're my equal you're in the image of God, and I think that such a beautiful thing I dont want people than that.
Till so tell me a little one of my one of my favorite women
of the
of the Bible is asked her.
I just love
story of Esther.
Tell me her story and how you what? What
lessons you take from her.
He was part of the dispersed. Jews were all over the place, he didn't have their own homeland at the time, and so she was an orphan,
taken in by her uncle Mordechai, who raised her at once
the king of Persia gets very mad at the queen. She will not show up and obey him until he gets rid of her any send out this
search nationwide for a new queen, and at that point
go. Then I told her doll talk, don't talk about your jewish background with all through this,
ass. She had so much paper, everybody immediately. You loved her as a favorite when the king saw her. That was it. She was the one for him, so she has chosen as the
of Persia now, during this process, there's heymann this bad guy who
