SPEAKER_1 (0:10)

From Memphis, Tennessee, on the banks of the mighty Mississippi, it's America's conservative blowtorch.

Chris Salcedo (0:29)

Oh yeah. Howdy folks, you got me, Chris Salcedo, your liberty-loving Latino in for Todd Starnes today. Glad to have you on board.

Some things have happened to me since the last time we spoke. Got a new radio home, does the Chris Salcedo show. We are on something called Torch Audio with Glenn Beck. So keep your eyes peeled for that. And as always, glad to be here, sitting in the seat with Todd Starnes, who's... did I hear that right? He's heading to the People's Republic of California? Well, what did you do that for? I mean, I... who the... The last I saw, the U-Hauls are going the other direction. I mean, why is he heading out there? Maybe he'll call in and give us the 411 on that. If you want to give me some information about what's going on in your world, what's going on with you or your reaction to things we're talking about today, give a call, 901-260-5926, 901-260-5926.

Coming up in the program, my interview this morning with Ted Cruz, I want you guys to hear how it went. The conservative, the only conservative senator from the great state of Texas were trying to remedy that by electing Attorney General Ken Pankston to the Senate seat that we Texans in our infinite wisdom chose to get rid of John Cornyn, a fake Republican, much more on that in this hour. And what you all need to know is, folks, that there are fake Republicans out there trying to lose this midterm election, because they find they have a lot more in common with communists and socialists than they do any of you. And I'm not in the mood to accommodate those fake Republicans. I don't know about you, but I'm not in the mood. So anyway, we'll be discussing all of that. Wendy Patrick coming on, Newsmax columnist. She'll tell us what's on her mind. And then somebody from my home state of Texas, Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas. He's got a new book out called Divine Invasions. We'll ask him what that's all about. Give him his opportunity to explain that. Maybe ask him a couple of theological questions, because goodness knows I have a couple of those. And as a matter of fact, it is of God that I wish to speak. First off, you know, I've been structuring the new Chris Salcedo show on trying to not necessarily talk about things that are political for the first couple of segments. And even though this is, I think it's, it has been political, it doesn't have to be, or at least it shouldn't be.

And there is a woman out there that was featured on the Karl Rove Never Trump Network, Fox.

And this is the headline, deprogrammed, three abortions, and eight decades later, this woman says feminism failed her. Candy Thompson says, young women today are hungry for marriage and motherhood, but don't know how to find it.

I was talking just last week, folks, of a corollary to this piece about young men not getting married in the United States. The gap between married men and marrying age men has grown exponentially. And you can't blame women for it. You can't blame men for it, actually. As everything that we experience in life progresses, it is the culture which informs our politics, informs our policy, informs the trajectory of our country. So this is the flip side of that, what this woman is talking about. And I think, what is her name? Rachel Wilson. Rachel Wilson wrote a book called The Occult of Feminism. And what I'm about ready to say may sound controversial. It's not. But she writes about this. And she notes that back during, for example, women's suffrage, the majority of American women didn't want it. Did you guys know that? That the record will show Americans, now the communists wanted it. The Marxists wanted it. The greedy corporatists wanted it. But the majority of women in America, the vast, overwhelming majority of America, the women didn't want suffrage. They didn't want the vote. And they didn't want the subsequent effort to throw them into the workforce. You know, again, for the aforementioned greedy corporatists and the socialists and the communists, and many of you might be going, well, what's their stake in this? Folks, what is the foundation of Western civilization? Do you know the answer?

The foundation of Western civilization is the family, the nuclear family. They've abandoned it over in the UK, which we'll talk about in the course of the program today as well, and in Europe writ large. They've abandoned their families, sold out to communism and socialism and left-wing extremism. It's true. It is that degree of sellout that has led to the decline of Europe. And it is the canary in the coal mine for us. And what you all need to know, as I'm reading this account from the Carl Rove Never Trump Network, of this woman, who says she's 80 now, and she says, oh my gosh, I was lying. It was all lies. Folks, what is another name for Beelzebub, old screw tape, the devil, the father of lies, yes? And so too is it with the left-wing. Left-wing ideology and mindsets are at their root, pure, evil, because you have to go against nature and nature's God to make it all make sense. You have to go against your own best interests, your own family's best interests to make anything these leftists and Marxists are saying to make sense. Let me read this piece.
