Today's issues continues on AFR with your host, Tim Wildman, President of the American Family Association. Hey, welcome back everybody to today's issues on American Family Radio, thanks for listening to AFR. Today is again Monday, August 24th. So September is almost here. That's right. You want some cooler days throughout much of the country We will pre we live in hope. Yeah Usually in the deep south Fall gets here about the middle of September doesn't yet at least the fallish. Yes, whether Fallish if whether there's a psychological thing too. It's September So we know the worst is over as far as he goes Yeah, although, you know, I try to say you'll never hear me complain about heat

Because I say my complaining for cold. Yeah, and that's good. Have you seen the predictions and the winner? I don't know Am I gonna like this or not what you're about to say you're not gonna like this if you don't like cold We got farmers almanac you pulled out the farmers all in there. They are predicting dire straits as far as cold weather for northern Mississippi going to be one of the coldest winters. No, no, no, no, no. I do not receive no, no, no, no. I am a charismatic right now. I do not receive what you just said, Fred. I reject that. So, you may need a tour to Australia around January or February. It's summer down there.

there. Listen, I can handle, I can handle four weeks. That's it. That's all like January and then I got to have some relief. Okay. From cold weather. And I know people who live up north are laughing when we define quote, cold weather. What's cold weather? Cold weather. I have lived. Okay, go ahead. I have lived in minus 30. Steve Paisley, Jordahl's with Hey everybody. Good morning Steve. Good morning. Who's also lived and co-watered? Yes. Well, go ahead Fred. But I'm in New Brunswick, Canada, where we lived for a while. I can remember a stretch of two to three weeks where it was minus 15, minus 20

wind chill factors taking it way beyond that. That was tough. What are you? Colorado Springs didn't get that cold for that long. I did get that cold maybe once or twice when I was there for 15 years, but here's what I remember We had a blizzard one time. I was supposed to sing in the praise team at church And I made my way there as the blizzard was starting by the time Church was supposed to roll around it was it was snowing really bad and they canceled church But I was stuck at the church So I got there about seven o'clock and it didn't let up until about one or two in the afternoon

and this is how bad it got. I had a four-wheel drive Jeep. I thought, you know, I can get out to my Jeep and I can do this four-wheel drive. I can do this. I couldn't. I found the Jeep. But on my way back, I missed the church building by about 20 yards because it was so dense that I couldn't see. It was like blinding. I was walking back and fortunately, God had mercy on me and the snow let up just so that I could see the church on my right. About 10 yards. You're talking about you walking outside? I'm walking outside the parking lot.

To the parking lot. Oh, I got you into my car. I'm just going to go home. I thought I have a Jeep. I have a, I can do this. But no, it was so, so hard, such a, oh my gosh. You know, in Mississippi, Steve, you were talking about Colorado, right? Yes. When we use the term blizzard, it means Dairy Queen. They have a blizzard indeed a dairy queen so I felt so Fred I hope your That prediction does not come to pass Cuz I don't I don't like anyway, you got to have a little winter to appreciate the warmth. I know but still I don't I don't want to see that

What you're talking about like weeks and weeks of cold weather cold weather to me. I define that as If the daytime temperature doesn't go over 40 mmm and it's that's cold maybe 45 but 40 certainly doesn't go over 40 40 to then I I got to call that cold they go to Parker Tim huh they go to the parka yeah the parka the parka the big heavy jacket oh the big heavy jacket okay why didn't you call it a big heavy jacket now a part of that which call it Parker yeah Parker okay yeah nice hood and everything all right so you leave you're listening to today's issues. So stay what's our first

story. It has happened. What's happened? The world record of 9.58 seconds said in 2009 by Hussein Bolt has for the 100 meter dash has been broken. Seriously? Yes, I'm going to show you the race. By the way, you can go to our our today's issues, Facebook page. And you can see this. You the story there, but not even human. No, it isn't. In fact, it's the you can push play on that. Who broke? Who broke the? It's a 100 meter sprint. It is. And I don't know if this robot has a name, but it's not. Wait a minute. We're not talking about a human. We're talking about a robot

in the world humanoid robot games that are going on. Those are real in China, in China. Yeah. But I mean, they are they're getting coordinated. So a robot actually broke the record and they did they had other events like a standing high jump the humanoid robot the world record for a standing high jump is three three foot one and a little over three point one foot one inch this robot jumped nine feet in the air so it's not really fair but they're having the humanoid robot games in China this is some you know they're gonna take over not only are they going to be smarter than you, but they're going to be able to

outrun you. Yeah, I was watching Fox and friends this morning, Lawrence Jones, one of the co hosts, he was very serious in his reaction to this because they showed that video. Yeah. And he said, we cannot have this. We cannot allow this. We cannot be creating these things that can do these things. And very concerned about that and what it means for the human race. But you know, I think it's kind of like data centers and everything else we've been talking about you cannot stop this You cannot stop this. Yeah, he's gonna watch this. I don't know through the watch of the well I'd watch it for a little bit just because it's interesting well

Yeah, to see those robots running around playing ping-pong and do the robot Did they high-five each other would they do well some of them do some of them dance? They've programmed, you know celebration into some of them I think one of the things that's coming about is that we're going to see these robots as soldiers as soldiers Yeah Because they showed at the at these games. They showed this This robot doing a crawl underneath the wiring and that sort of thing, which is what you do. I tell you what That's that's when and by the way you'd be interested in this they did a live hit this morning from the the Air

Force Academy Air Force Academy in Colorado and there were robots there not people robots but machine robots that were being used in training there so it's coming I have a question about that though if all of Russia's robots come and beat all of our robots or do we win the war? Or do we just have to give up then or what? I mean, what's the point? Robots killing robots. Yeah, I know. You just wonder where all of this is going. But well, here's what we do know. They are being developed for all of these tasks. They're being developed. So where it's going to take us?

It's the brave new world. All right, next story, Steve. this is a sad story there uh... in uh... mandon north to kota there was a woman named calie arhart who uh... where now where does this take place manden m a n d a n north to kota and she has been uh... accused of killing her two children and what they think may be a copycat of the uh... lindsey clancy uh... crime that their that there's a trial now And she killed two of her children, a three-year-old and a five-month-old and a one-year-old who's left in critical condition. But this shocked me. I went to look at how many copycats there might have been.

Do you know, according to research, which I have a copy of here, that there are about 2942 arrests per year of parents who are accused of killing their children. How many? Almost 3,000 across the United States. Yes. They have had, this is a study, I have the study here from a health journal, and they had 94,000, it's called Philicide Arrests over a 32-year period. I'm shocked, I had no idea. Well, you do have 350 million people or something like that, 330 million people that live in the US, but still that seems like a, you see they're almost daily reports from somewhere around the country where I'm just wondering if where a parent kills their own kids or murder

suicide. Is that what you call it? Yeah. Where you have domestic problems and then they kill the whole family. It's just I'm just wondering how much drugs are involved in this because it makes our people get you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And this is what this Lindsey Clancy case is all about right now. They're into the final days of this trial in Massachusetts In case we may have some folks now familiar with this story. This is a woman How who and there's no question about this. She killed her three kids this is a case of Postpartum psychosis and it's very important most Most many women have postpartum blues, last for two.

Right, your pressure to cells. And it's very real. Yes. For several weeks after giving birth to a baby. So we're not talking about that in particular in this case. We're talking about the psychosis side of this. That being someone who becomes totally detached from reality, in this case, Lindsey Clancy claims she heard a voice, a male voice, I believe it was. telling her to kill her three kids, and then to kill herself. And she carried that out. There was no question about that. And then she tried to jump off out a window, and she did such damage to herself. She's in the courtroom in a wheelchair because she's paralyzed from the waist down.

She went temporarily insane, basically. Okay, what the prosecution is arguing, wait a minute, she told her husband to go shopping somewhere while she was doing okay. So here's the argument for the prosecution. You had the ability to think about how you were going to do this, including sending your husband off on a shopping expedition. And that's when you carried this out. the courtroom there in Massachusetts right now. She has her cheerleaders. In other words, you need to feel sorry for this woman because she was detached from reality. But there are other protesters now that have shown up saying, there's three children dead. She must pay a

price for this. Yeah, you know, you can be, two things can be true at once. You can be sympathetic with her mental state, or some Christians would say demonically possessed, you know, both. You're hearing voices, but you've still got to be accountable for your actions, and especially murdering innocent children, because that's what she did. Does she confess guilt to this or? Oh, there's no question. Okay. That's no question. Her husband to leave to go shopping. Yes. Okay. That's not psychotic. That's what are our that's the problem. That's a plan Mm-hmm. That's not somebody that goes out and house at the moon. Yeah, you know, you say well that person's nuts. They're crazy. They're mentally ill

You would say if if you're plotting Then you're not insane, right? Okay. Now what you've done may be quote insane in a generic sense but you know how we all say well that's crazier that's nuts but it doesn't mean it wasn't evil as well as well yeah so the other aspect of this the defense has called medical experts into this because she was on multiple drugs multiple drugs and there's an argument that she was let down by the medical community because she was prescribed so many drugs for her problem so that's another aspect of this. All right. You're listening to today's issue. Very sad story. It is tragic.

So next story. All right. The Washington Post, right of the day or so after Charlie Kirk's assassination, fired one of their reporters. Her name was Cara Attaya. And she tweeted out some nasty things about Charlie Kirk after who's murdered. She kind of had a lot of racial twinge in her tweets and they fired her. She went to an arbitrator and the arbitrator ruled in her favor and the Washington Post has been ordered to rehire this woman. What now? I'm sorry I was texting. The Washington Post. I shouldn't have been. I apologize but I had to go ahead. The Washington Post fired a reporter by the name of Karen Ataya, a day or so after Charlie Kirk was assassinated,

she tweeted out, let's go and a couple other anti-trollies. By celebrating his murder? Celebrating his murder. She was rightfully fired. Well, but she hired an arbitrator who ruled in her favor and now the Washington Post has been ordered to rehire her. Yeah. She's going back to work for him. And you can't do that, I mean, but you can in a right to work state, in right to work states, the, I know that's a union term, or against forced unionization, but I'm talking about, I know in a lot of states, and where we live in Mississippi, you can fire somebody for any reason. Yeah. But in the, I guess, in the District of Columbia, is that where this is, huh?

New York. Well, I know Washington Post, I'm sorry, the New York Post is reporting. The Washington District of Columbia, you can, you can say I was unfairly fired, huh, and get your, and get your job back after, say, after celebrating the birth. Yeah. The death, rather, of the murder of Charlie Kirk, that is where an arbiter has ruled. Well, there are officers wrong. There's been a couple of cases. There's one or two university professors who were very critical of Charlie Kirk and somewhat celebrated his horrible... Yeah, I remember that, yeah. And they've won their cases too, big time. They're getting a whole lot of money from this.

They're arguing First Amendment rights. That's what they're arguing in this. All right. Next story. A couple of crazy things happening in California. Really? Yeah, go for it. Well, get ready. How could it be? Normally, saying California is bringing forth some crazy stories. Go ahead, Steve. Yeah, Gavin Newson has officially signed the Stop Nick Shirley Act into law in California. It is a law now which says you cannot investigate fraud in the state. What? I know, it's crazy. bills created by attorney general's wife and co-sponsored uh... by a group named charlotte c-h-i-r-l-a stands for something uh... what do you mean you what do you mean you can investigate do you know what

that this this must mean private citizens um... because the whole purpose of uh... of the attorney general's office in the state of california would be if you cannot you cannot if you're private citizen you cannot film or investigate so for example if I have a film, a hospice, or a leering center with no patients, I cannot say or publish that video. I cannot publish it. If I do publish it, I claimed to be threatened by it. I face a minimum $4,000 fine, civil fine. So the now fraud is officially safe in California. I think there's going to be a challenge to that law because, you know, our journalists

exempt from this, because to be a journalist, you don't have to be licensed. It's not a profession. Yeah. You know, there's no law that defines what a journalist is. I would hope that even, you know, secular newsrooms are going to challenge this law in court, Because we see it all the time, they investigate things. They investigate what politicians are doing, where politicians get their money, etc., etc. So this, I don't see this law standing at all. You cannot tell people they can't investigate something. In plain English, what it has four main things. It creates a safe and home style confidentiality program for certain immigration supported workers

of volunteers who face threats or harassments of violence, it's called a safe at home confidentiality program. It allows qualified participants to use a substitute address and keep their actual address private. It makes it unlawful to post a immigrant's personal information or image online and it also prohibits selling, soliciting or trading that person's personal information. So the law does not say journalists cannot investigate immigration organizations and it did not mention Nick Shirley by name. So it is for a private citizen. I want to talk about something important. We got four minutes to go. The Iowa State Fair just concluded. It was August 13th to the 23rd and they had some new foods that were presented to the

fair attendees. And I wanted to go over these with y'all and see if you'd eat them. Okay. So we got, they always, they're known for this, right? Well, state fires are in general, but I was certainly known for their concoctions. That's a good way to put it. So this year we had caviar top chicken nuggets. Yes or no Fred? You eating that? Well, I have to tell you chicken I've had chicken nuggets, caviar top chicken nuggets. Because it fits my budget? Yeah, caviar does not fit my budget because I think you're not eating it for financial reasons not for taste bud reasons. I think they give a price don't they Tim? Was it like 90? Perhaps

the biggest conversation starter is caviar and chicken nuggets price had a rather eye watering 99 bucks. Yeah, you got a point for it. Go to the fair. I've spent a hundred bucks. I'll just take the chicken nudge and leave the caviar off for $6.99. I'm not paying 99 bucks for anything. Okay, so we got for state of you on this yes or no. Pickle cotton candy yes or no. Absolutely not. Not going to do that. I like to think I'll branch out a little bit. Pickle tasting cotton. I like pickle tape. Pickle cotton candy. That's just, that's like goes against the laws of the universe or something. I don't know. I'm with you there. All right,

back to you Fred. Okay. We got next up on the menu at the Iowa State Fair this year was Flamin' Hot Cheetos Breakfast Burritos Flamin' Hot Cheetos Breakfast Burritos Fred, you eatin' that? I need the definition of Flamin' Hot. Well, it's a bag, there is a brand of Cheetos in the hot. Oh, there's a brand of Cheetos called Flamin' Hot. Don't they have contests and and competition over this one. This would not be that. It would not be that. This is the fact they pulled out of a bag of Cheetos that Cheetos has made called Flamin' Hot. Flamin' Hot Cheetos, breakfast burritos. That's all the questions you get.

I just need yes or no. You, you, you, you, no. How much would they have to pay you to eat that? I gotta play it safe. If they paid you $100, would you eat that? I would take a small bite. Okay, for a hundred bucks. Yes, with some water. Because it might set your mouth on fire. That's what you're worried about. Food should not be painful. All right, Steve, do you last here? The next item that was introduced this year at the Iowa State Fair, which just concluded, was Parmesan. Parmesan. Parmesan, rather. Parmesan. Ice cream. Ice cream. Yeah, I know. You're not doing that. category is the pickled cotton candy.

That's supposed to be sweet. Now, my wife is a cheese lover. I think Heather would do a parmigion ice cream. That's just, Fred, you eatin' that? I've never eaten that.

Okay, I'm gonna say, of all four of those things, a caviar top chicken nuggets, a pickled cotton candy, the flamin' hot Cheetos breakfast burrito, and the parmigion ice cream should be illegal. That's just wrong. Sounds like you're not touching anything. I would take a shot on the hot Cheetos breakfast burritos. I'd eat me one of those. OK. I would spend the money. But I would have to get your top chicken nuggets. I wouldn't mind eating them. Yeah, but $9.99 bucks worth of caviar and chicken nuggets.

All right, there's some other stuff here, too. But maybe we can talk about it next time. Have a good day, everybody. Thanks for listening.
