Iran War, Media Silence, and the Bigger Battle Over America and Faith

Transcribed from Blue Collar Catholic YouTube channel, click here for video.

Hey guys, before I get started, I just want to apologize. I told you guys that church theologian and scholar, basically a Renaissance man, Father Dr. Joseph Inuzzi, would be giving me an interview last night, Friday night, and had to cancel. I apologize. I literally could not fit it into my work schedule. I thought I could do it. I literally clocked in, got in my truck, and drove off to my first delivery at 3:00 in the morning, and I could not make it in time for the 6:00 interview.

I thought I would definitely be able to make it, so I apologize for that. Father is so sweet. He is so understanding, and he just said, “Let me know when your schedule is better.”

We were going to talk about eschatology, just the big fancy word for end times. We were going to talk about church prophecies, hopefully I pronounce it correctly, Garabandal and Medjugorje. We were going to talk about how that all fits in with the Iran war and church authority. So it was going to be a very enlightening conversation with this brilliant church theologian.

But he is also a former state wrestling champion, a high school wrestler from New York State, and New York has some tough wrestlers. So he had to be a great wrestler to win states up there. I was also going to ask his opinion about what just recently happened in Iran.

What Happened in Iran and Why No One Seems Outraged

The Iranian government just hung a 19-year-old Olympic wrestler like that. They do this publicly for little kids to see. You do not disobey the government. This is what will happen.

If you remember January just a couple months ago, the media reported this, obviously, but like nothing compared to when America accidentally hits a school according to the Iranian government, and we have not even confirmed it yet. We are the evil ones in this war, but they do not really get that mad about Iran, who just hung an innocent 19-year-old for protesting.

And if you remember the protest in January, nobody had weapons. Nobody was being violent. They held up signs, “Trump, help us,” “freedom,” and the Iranian government just shot in the crowd, killing men, women, and children. 30,000 people massacred in one killing. And you do not hear these left-wingers on YouTube that are screaming about America and Israel. You do not hear them getting very upset about this.

And in addition to the 30,000 that were killed, 100,000 were badly wounded. And when they went to the hospital, the Iranian government said, “Let them die.” And the nurses that treated them, the Iranian Ayatollah told the Iranian guard to go rape them. Men and women raped them. And they raped these women so badly. Two women had to have a hysterectomy because not only did they rape them and sodomize them themselves, but they used large objects basically to torture these people for helping save Iranians that want freedom.

This is the demonic regime we are fighting in the war. And I am going to get a little bit more into the politics of that, but right now I just want to read something an Olympic gold medal wrestler from America said.

Actually, there are a bunch of Olympians coming out condemning Iran for this, but what this guy said is pretty profound. This is Brandon Slay. He won the gold medal for the US in 2000 at the Sydney Olympics. And it is just a short quote:

“As someone who has traveled to Iran for wrestling twice and welcomed Iranian athletes into our country, I have seen firsthand the dignity and heart of the Iranian people. That is why it is so heartbreaking to witness a terror regime execute a teenage wrestler.”

So that is important to remember. The Iranian people are great people. They want freedom just like us. They are not like in the stone age, like everyone says, “Oh, look at Afghanistan.” This is not Afghanistan. This was a free country that the left and the extreme Muslim radicals combined to take over. And then the Muslims killed the left like they do. They executed like 30,000 to 40,000 left-wingers, and they just took over and imposed strict Sharia law.

So the Iranian people are good people. It is this evil government we are fighting.

And then he goes on. This is very powerful. He goes on to say, “My prayers are with Salah Muhammad’s family and all who are suffering in the face of such oppression.” These people are so oppressed. They have been oppressed for 47 years.

“I hold to the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus, the ultimate deadlifter. It is the only light that overcomes darkness and the only truth that proclaims justice and mercy will one day prevail.”

Amen. That is our ultimate goal as Christians, to win the hearts and the minds of the people everywhere. Muslims, Jews, Gentiles. We are called, the church actually calls us, to evangelize the whole world. The Jew first and then the Gentile. And the Gentiles include Muslims that hate Christians as well.

Anti-Americanism, Israel, and the Left

But you see, no one is screaming about this horrible regime, and they are getting mad at us. And there has always been a strain of anti-Americanism in America. And it has always come from the left.

The left has always been anti-Semitic.

That is why APEC tends to donate money to the Republicans. Just like pro-life groups are not going to waste money donating to Democrats because they are not going to do anything. Republicans have always stood with the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel. And the left has always hated Israel.

So what the left leaders, and just hear me out, have done for years, I have watched it my whole adult life, is condition their followers that Israel is so evil and so demonic. They are the worst of the worst. And these feminists have nothing to say about Iran beheading women for not wearing their hijab and disobeying their husband. They are treated like slaves.

The left has nothing to say about that because they got their people so conditioned to hate Israel.

So then here is the connection to anti-Americanism. Well, if America supports such an evil regime as the government of Israel, the American government must be just as evil. That is the connection. And we have always been battling that on the left.

And the late Rush Limbaugh was really good at giving logical arguments to that. I tried to look for someone on the left who had the intellect of Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh was like a brilliant apologist for conservative values. This is political. I did not agree with his theology, but as far as politics, he always stood for life. He was pro-life and he always had good arguments.

I figured out who on the left is equal to Limbaugh. It is the most far-left, socialist-loving guy. Like all these liberal elites, he was born from a very wealthy family. In fact, he was born in Turkey. He calls himself a cultural Muslim. He runs the most far-left YouTube channel, also now on cable, Young Turks, because the Young Turks are the ones who killed the Armenians in the Armenian genocide. They killed like 1.5 million Armenians. So he names his show after that, The Young Turks.

And so Cenk Uygur, although he is the polar opposite of Rush Limbaugh, is very entertaining, funny, has a great personality, and is very smart. He came from a very wealthy family. They send them to America, of course they come over here and go to Ivy League schools and get degrees, and then they bash America.

That is where it is coming from on the left.

And I even saw one Catholic YouTuber who seemed like he really admired him, had him on for an hour, and was actually agreeing with him. What these guys do on the left, they will say, “This is a fact.” And then they say, “Now this is just my theory.” And by the end of the interview, they say, “So you can see why it is obvious that this is true.”

And the host is like, “Yeah, you can see, definitely.” So that is how conspiracy theories work. Anti-American conspiracy theories work.

Alexander Dugin, Russia, and the Push for a Weaker America

Yesterday I had to drop off some samples of beer, and actually liquor, we sell liquor too, to a sales rep. And she said her husband’s father is an 80-year-old Iranian who fled Iran to get away from the oppression over there. And she said he hates Democrats. He is a lifelong Republican, but he is confused why there are some Republicans that are repeating Iranian propaganda.

And I said, “Yeah. Look up Alexander Dugin. It is coming from him.”

And I am going to do a deep dive on Alexander Dugin. There is a lot of material on this, but basically he is known as Vladimir Putin’s brain. Vladimir Putin loves this guy. He is a Russian philosopher, and he basically has a theory. It is called the fourth political theory. It is a combination of fascism and communism and liberalism. We will take the best from fascism, the best from communism, and the best from liberalism.

And you would think most conservatives would say these are the three evils of the world. Nazism, communism, and liberalism. But there are a few people that claim to be conservatives that are repeating this guy.

Nick Fuentes 10 years ago, when he was just 18 years old, actually quoted Alexander Dugin. Steve Bannon, after Trump fired him for leaking, went to Russia and met for hours with Alexander Dugin. He tried to hide it, and it came out. It was a private meeting. Then he writes a book bashing Trump and his family, and now all of a sudden he is a conservative again.

And then Tucker Carlson, of course, went to Russia and interviewed Dugin.

So they are getting this theory, and part of the theory is we need a weaker America, a stronger Russia and China, because we want to even the playing field. And of course Russia loves that, especially with what is going on in Iran, because if we defeat this, it definitely cripples and hurts Russia and China a lot.

So I do not know if these guys are just gullible or if they are getting paid. There is strong evidence that some of these guys are getting paid to repeat this garbage. But it is anti-Americanism.

Why America Still Matters

If America was to fall today, or you could take a magic wand and say, “No more America,” Russia would take over Europe tomorrow. China would take over Asia tomorrow. We would all be enslaved communists. Without America, the rest of the world falls tomorrow.

I am not saying America is perfect. I am not saying our government is perfect. But our system of government is for the people, by the people, of the people, and our Constitution was founded on biblical principles.

And whenever I say that, you always get these anti-Americans saying, “No, America was founded by Freemasons.”

Out of the 55 signers of the Declaration of Independence, there were like six Freemasons. Out of the 51 people that signed the Constitution, there were nine Freemasons. And they all came from the Anglican Church. In America, they call it the Episcopal Church. They were all Episcopalians. And in the Episcopal Church, Freemasonry is very popular. They see it like us Catholics see the Knights of Columbus.

So how involved were they with the Freemasons? How involved are Catholics? How involved is the average Knight of Columbus?

One of the first things they did, the actual first act of Congress, was to print 500,000 Bibles because there was a shortage of Bibles.

So anyway, we are an exceptional nation because we are a melting pot of people. Jews, Italians, blacks, whites. And from all of this, we all have one common goal: freedom. We love freedom. And we know that biblical principles, Judeo-Christian values that this country was founded on, give us the most freedom.

But with freedom comes responsibility. And a lot of people abuse freedom, and we have bad stuff. But we can amend the Constitution. That is how we got rid of slavery, with an amendment. We can vote people out. We can impeach people. We do have a say. We are different. We are not the same as these terror regimes.

In the Middle East, there is only one country where the people actually get the vote, and that is Israel. And everybody is hating on Israel. And again, it is part of the left. “Well, Israel is so evil. They are wicked, demonic. If we support them, we are evil.”

And now you have people on our side doing the same thing.

You can disagree with the Israeli government just like you can disagree with the American government, but it has gotten to the point where people say, “Oh, he is a Zionist.”

I read from the Oxford dictionary. Go to Oxford Dictionary and look up the word Zionist. And all it means is someone who believes Israel has a right to exist and defend itself. That is it. And then I read Pope St. John Paul II in 1993 saying the Catholic Church recognizes Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.

So in that simple definition, all Catholics are Zionists.

And they say, “No, no, no. The definition changed.” No. The definition did not change. You changed it. These YouTubers changed it.

Final Thoughts: Christ Above Politics

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with the Israeli government, but when you want to put people in a group like “Jews are evil,” it is like saying blacks are evil. People are people. There are good people in every race and in every religion.

But our goal as Christians is to win them all. Every Jew, every Gentile, every human being, we are to evangelize. The church calls us to do that.

We live in this world. Even though we are not of this world, we live in this world and people hate us. The Muslims hate us because they consider us a Christian nation. Even though we are very secular, they see us as Christians and they hate us and they want to kill us. And the Iranians have been killing us through their proxies. Just because they did not come over here and kill us does not mean they have not killed our servicemen overseas.

So the left and these few guys on the right are trying to say, “Oh, the Republicans are falling apart.” And that is what Dugin wants ultimately. He wants us to fragment and the Democrats to win.

But the good news is they are lying. It is all hype.

Trump has strong support. And the midterms are all about getting your base out. So the base is going to show up. We are going to retain the House. We are going to retain the Senate. We are going to win this war within a month. Gas prices will eventually go down. The economy will boom and America will be great.

But whether things are great or things are bad, we have to keep our eyes on Christ and eternity.

Christ is King. Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. And we have to bring everyone to Him. So let us not get all divisive and fight like they want us to fight.

Support who you want to support. Me personally, I think Trump is doing a great job, and I am going to support him by voting Republican in the midterms. But you can disagree with me on politics. If you are a Christian, you have got to agree Jesus Christ is Lord, and that is our number one job.

Everything else here is going to fade. Everything fades. The Bible says everything will pass away. Only love remains. And Jesus calls us to love our enemies.

So just because we disagree, let us not hate each other. Let us not even hate the Iranians. Let us pray for them. Let us pray for their freedom, that they are liberated and so free that we can send missionaries over there to convert them to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

So God bless and stay Catholic.
