Mike Slater 0:04
Welcome to Politics by Faith. It's where we take the news of the day and we bring it to the Bible so we can walk away with peace and perspective. New headlines every day. But Ecclesiastes says there's not the new under the sun. So thanks for being here to get the true story. And at the end of the show today, hopefully we will be more heavenly minded so that we will be more earthly good. I shouldn't say it like that. We will be more heavenly minded and A Consequence of that, an unintended consequence, but but happy consequence is that we will be more earthly good as well. The story of the day today, the twenty fifth anniversary of september eleventh, two thousand and one. If you're watching this or listening to this live, we're a couple days ahead of the actual anniversary.
Mike Slater 0:48
I want to get in front of it a little bit here. First of all, so we can keep it in our minds for More than just a single day. We should we should allow a week of reflection before the anniversary day. I think it deserves that. And I'm also worried that the anniversary is gonna get overshadowed by by different things going on. We got the midterm convention is Wednesday and Thursday, and uh it's not like opening day for football is Thursday night or something like that. There's a lot going on. Uh I don't know I imagine they'll talk about it at the midterm convention. I don't know. I would think so.

And also there's so many young people who literally have no idea what happened that day, no clue. They're they're they're as clueless as like when you ask them, who did we fight the revolutionary war against? They're like, ah, Canada. Like they have no clue. What we did. The Nazis? Like they're that ignorant, equally ignorant about Something twenty five years ago. See what the mayor did the other day, by the way? Mayor of New York City, Zoran Mamdani, he r signed some paper like proclamation calling for September eleventh to be a citywide day of remembrance and service. And he's at the signing ceremony. And he signs the document and he hands the pen. to Jessica Tish, who's the head of NYPD, save them for another episode.
Mike Slater 2:33
And and the head of NYPD, Jessica, she immediately takes the pen like and like a robot. Like she knows exactly what she was told to do this. She wasn't like, oh, oh, for me.

How does the mayor’s 9/11 proclamation ceremony illustrate today’s political climate?

Mike Slater 2:43
No, no, no. Oh, here you have it. No, no, no. This was Zoran hands it to Jessica. Jessica hands it to the next guy next, right? So she hands it to the guy next to him. There's a whole bunch of people in the group. She hands it to this guy. And you're like, Who's this guy? That guy, he's like a little bit off to the side too. That guy's name is Ramsey Kasem. Ramsey is the chief legal counsel for the city of New York. He's the first Muslim to hold that position. Okay. He's from Lebanon. There's that, but also Kassem. used to represent Ahmed al Darby. Who pled guilty to war crime charges? With Al Qaeda. Against commercial ships. He was the brother in law of Of Khalid Al Mindhar. Who was one of the hijackers? On American Airlines flight seventy seven.

that crashed into the Pentagon twenty five years ago, killing 184 people. All right. So twenty-five years ago, nine eleven, bring go back to that day and I encourage you to Sit down for a good period of time. Today, tomorrow, certainly but on another and watch videos. There I've seen a couple of videos this last year that I've never seen before. But watch the videos. Watch them. Go back to that day. Now imagine that I tell you, hey, psh, twenty-five years from now. Not only is the governor gonna be wearing a hijab to pander to all the Muslims in New York. But the mayor of New York is gonna be a Muslim from Uganda? Who Deep down agrees with the motives of the nine eleven hijackers.

Why does the host focus on the word “trance” and what does the original definition reveal?

Mike Slater 4:30
And he's gonna sign this this document and then give the ceremonial pen to the lawyer who represented terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. And one of them is related to one of the actual hijackers on nine eleven. There's no way

No one could fathom that. And it's all done right in front of your face. He signs his document as a form of deceit? And then the the wink and a nod.
