• There are electronic jamming devices there that won’t allow you to have access to the internet.
• You can’t call or text in our out of the Vatican right now.
• They had their Mass this morning.
• They install a very specific smoke stack on the roof of the Chapel.

• The tradition of burning the cardinals’ paper ballots dates back to the 15th Century and became part of conclave rituals aimed at ensuring transparency and preventing tampering, particularly after earlier papal election delays had led to public frustration and unrest.
• Over time, the Vatican began using smoke as a way to communicate with the outside world while preserving the strict confidentiality of the vote.
• Inside the Sistine Chapel, two stoves are temporarily installed specifically for the conclave: one for burning ballots, the other to generate the smoke signals.

• Anti-woke liberals are positioning themselves as gatekeepers on the right. We should reject their fake process neutralism, and ignore them.

• For every 100 Americans that enter the Church, 840 leave.
• Put that into perspective here.
• Cardinal Burgolio became Pope in 2013, late.
• What did the Papacy of Francis due to slow this mass exodus? 

HEADLINE: The Papal Conclave Has Begun by Rod Dreher

• Where did the term ‘West’ come from?
• Anything that is to the West of Athens Greece is the West. 
• Rome was the epicenter of Christianity. 
• That is the entirety of Old Europe. 
• Though he disappointed liberal Catholics in some ways, the Francis papacy was generally progressive. He accelerated the dissolution of Catholic identity, turning Catholicism into a weak, sentimental, humanitarian version of the faith. The small minority of Catholics who place real value on Catholic doctrine, worship, and identity – the Traditionalists – were the only ones that Francis routinely attacked.
• Christianity is not the dominant religion of the East.
• QUESTION: Where has most of the innovation of the world come from?
• ANSWER: The West
• We do things because God ultimately set things into motion and God is the final cause.
• The young people out there, there are those that think that the direction that Francis was leading was the only alternative but that isn’t correct and the youth joining tells us that.
• I think the smells and bells and the tradition is attracting the youth.
• This is the new energy in the Church, you leave that behind, you will lose them all.
• Germany’s bishops famously want the Church to liberalize even further. This would be a death sentence. In America, almost all the liberal priests are old, and they are not being replaced. Surveys show that today, all seminarians are conservative – much more so than the laity. This signals trouble ahead, but the fact is, liberal Catholicism is an exhausted project, one with no spiritual vitality or theological substance. In the US as in Europe, we are moving towards what Benedict XVI predicted: a smaller, weaker church, but one with a stronger faith.
• Francis’s government of the Church was so poor, based more on personal loyalty than on competence, that even progressive cardinals are reportedly eager for a change.
• Why does a Cardinal receive at his ordination or promotion, a red cardinal hat.
• Why is it red?
• It is symbolic of the red blood that Jesus shed for us.
• It shows that they are ready to lay down their lives for martyrdom like Jesus did.
• Cardinals  are assigned one of three ranks by the pope at the time of their appointment: cardinal bishop, cardinal priest, and cardinal deacon.

• Is impeachment of these Federal Judges the way to go?
• SCOTUS has to stop this nonsense being done by these Judges.
• What if Congress declares war against Venezuela? 
• Then you would have POTUS running and heading up the military and it is a WAR power being used not a municipal or civil power.
• The courts won’t try any of this in that situation.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Speaker Mike Johnson – Judicial Impeachments – Look impeachments are never off the table if it is merited but in our system we’ve had 15 Federal Judges impeached in the entire history of the country. This is a very high burden and the bar is high crimes and misdemeanors. It has to be a real open, brazen offense. If we could get an impeachment through the House it is almost impossible that it would pass through the Senate. 

• Like this judge in New York, at least he got that right, he said in HIS jurisdiction. 
• It brings me back to Nancy Pelosi in her glory days.
• She never lost her base.
• She had that gavel and those Democrats fell in line.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Senator Thom Tillis – Confirmation of Ed Martin – I don’t belive he should be advanced to the mark up. He seems like a good man. Most of my concerns related to January 6th. Where we have a difference is I think anyone that breached the perimeter should have been in prison for some time the time is debatable. But I have no tolerance for anyone that entered the building on January 6th. He did a good job of explaining there were people that got caught up in it. But they made a stupid decision. We have to be very clear what happened on Jan 6th was wrong, it was not created by other people to put them in trouble…they disgraced the United States.

• I interviewed Jacob Chansley at a Trump rally.
• The Capitol Police escorted him around the Capitol. 
• They allowed him to take photos and they were very nice to him.
• So how did he end up getting arrested?
• Senator Thom Tillis has bought the fantasy island storyline.
• There was only one person killed that day and she was a retired Vet.
• She was murdered that day and her name was Ashli Babbitt.

SEGMENT 4

• The US Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd shot an unarmed Babbitt, 35, as she attempted to climb through a broken window of a barricaded door within the Capitol Building during the riot on Jan. 6.
• Only one shot was fired, hitting the United States Air Force veteran in the shoulder. She was transported from the riot to Washington Hospital Center where she succumbed to her injuries.
• Byrd was cleared of any wrongdoing after an internal investigation by the US Capitol Police which found he acted in self-defense and in the defense of members of Congress.
• Someone should tell Senator Tillis about this.

• Makes the comments about Greenland make more sense now doesn’t it?

AUDIO/VIDEO: President Trump in Oval Office w/ Canada PM Mark Carney – Canada Being the 51st State – I believe it would be a massive tax cut for the Canadian citizens. You get free military, you get tremendous medical care and other things. There would be a lot of advantages. When you get rid of that artificial line, when you look at the beautiful formation all together, that was the way it was meant to be. 

• Canada has nothing we need, absolutely nothing.
• Try being a small business owner and ship to Canada.
• They don’t do business w/ us, they never really have it has always been unfair.

• What would we do with Canada?
• It would basically be a larger California and we don’t need that.
• Because of the economics of scale, I think the break up and separation should happen.
• We need John Connors out there to preach this stuff.

• First, they’re liberals, and modern liberalism, then and now, has no moral or religious core, and hence no limiting principle for what we should or shouldn’t tolerate. If a consensus worldview were to emerge around what Weiss and The Free Press are advocating for, maybe it would reset the clock by a decade. But without some rooted vision of the good, anchored in traditional morality, we’ll just end up right where we are now, with an establishment left pushing for things like transgender ideology in the classroom and abortion-on-demand.
• These people are Trojan horses.
• They are doing all of this in broad daylight too.
• If you reject the Higher Power, Jesus, we don’t have things in common and you are not my friend.
• I don’t use the word taboo, I call it a sin.
• I am not required to define what a sin is either. 
• God the Father already did it.
• QUESTION: What is a taboo exactly?
• You get what we have right now.
• The same intellectual bankruptcy that brought down our institutional gatekeepers is plain to see in charlatans like Weiss and Murray. They pretend to be defending civilizational norms, when in fact they have little use for them personally — and no plan to safeguard them with their phony process neutralism.
• Theirs is the arrogance of our erstwhile censors on the left, who believe they can declare what is and is not taboo, and silence all those who disagree. It’s time for the right to see their little game for what it is and realize that they’re not on our side after all.
