Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxus show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m. Investments.com. That's LegacyPMinvestmenton.com. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to one and all. Eric Metaxus is a lot like jolly old St. Nicholas. They both love to give and give and give and give. But unlike Santa Claus, you will almost never find Eric stuck in your chimney come Christmas morning. Now please welcome the guy who's half as plump as Santa and twice as jolly. Eric Matt, Texas. Hey there, folks.

At this joyous time of year, we bring you loads of Christmas cheer. That's a quote from Bugs Bunny, one of my favorite characters. But I got to tell you, Christmas cheer, what does that even mean? It means a lot of things. One of the things it means to me, every year on this program, we get to participate in the very meaning. of Christmas. It is so beautiful.

I don't know what angle to hit it from. I will just start right at the middle. Jesus came to set the captives free. You've heard of that. CSI, Christian Solidarity International. We partner with them every year at this time, in this Christmas season, to set literal captives free,

to literally set them free. We're not talking about metaphorically, although, of course, that's a part of it. But in this case, it's literal. There are captives in Sudan. We have talked about it on the program before. They are literally enslaved, not sort of enslaved, literally enslaved. It's horrifying.

But CSI has been at work for years and years working, figuring out how to free them. This is modern day abolition. This is wiping out slavery in a part of the world where it exists right now today. If you love Jesus, if you love other people, This is something that you can do at this time of year. And I often say to people, why do you do this in somebody's name? Say, hey, grandpa, in your name, you didn't need another sweater. In your name, we freed a slave.

We freed a captive. $250 is the total price. If you can give that to free a person to set them up in a life of freedom. I have CSI's Todd Chapman on with me right now. Todd, welcome back. Thanks, Eric. Always good to be here with you. Yeah, it's exciting to me that we get to actually do this.

And I want my audience to be excited that you get to live out your faith in a way that it's rarely so clear. You know, by giving a certain amount of money, you're contributing to actually free people from slavery. Give us the background. You said that it was it in the 90s that there was this war in Sudan? Yeah. So it actually started in 1983.

And basically what happened was the, The Islamic, you know, reigning government, if you will, basically said to Sudanese Christians, you don't have a right to, you know, religious freedom anymore. You can't be a Christian. And then they partnered with Arab-backed militia and turned them loose to go on raiding parties. And anybody that they encountered who didn't convert to Islam, they were allowed to take them captive. And so what they did, these are South Sudanese residents, many of them Christians. And they said, I'm not converting.

they took them to North Sudan and they became indentured slaves to primarily cattle ranchers up in that country. And they have remained there to this day, many of them. I mean, now tens of thousands have been set free thanks to generous Christians, many of which Eric Metaxus listeners were so grateful for that. But there are still thousands and thousands of men, women, and now grown, but they were children when they were abducted who are still in slavery. They've had children in slavery. So we've got now multi-generations of slaves, and we're working every year to set them free. What we do is we have slave retrievers, is what we call them. They go and they negotiate with these cattle ranchers who have slaves, and we're able to exchange cattle vaccines that they need.

They can't get them very easily. They can't afford to buy them. And we negotiate the slave's freedom. So there's no cash exchanging hands. There's no chance that we're going to somehow encourage them to go take more slaves. That's actually outlawed now. they can't go take more slaves. We're just trying to free the ones that remain.

And every year, we have three or four slave liberations. We go up and retrieve as many as we can and we bring them back to South Sudan. There's a big party when we get them down. We celebrate their freedom. And where we can, we get them reunited with their family. Many times they haven't seen their family, their parents, you know, their extended family in decades. And we reunite them. If we can find them, we get them anchored in a church and a faith community.

And they get skills training. whatever they need to get them on a path to a new life. It is, as you said, Eric, it's a picture of the gospel. This is the gospel. And I echo what you said. This is something that every Christian needs to be involved with because it's so simple. It's not expensive. $250. I mean, so many of us are so blessed that $250 will not appreciably change our quality or standard of life at all, especially, you know, if you did that once a year, we can all afford to do that. Maybe you can do much more than that. But man, just celebrate that God is bringing you again this opportunity to rescue a human being from slavery. We thank you for even considering it. It's, it's it's it's an unbelievable thing.

And I want to say, folks, uh, $250 is the amount that does it, right? So that not just frees the slave from slavery, but even more. Uh, and this is the larger part of the $250, sets them up in a life of freedom. Uh, we've talked about on the program before. They get what they, what CSI calls a bag of hope. They get all this stuff that enables them to go into a life of freedom. You know, it's not like you're just set out on the street, like, okay, you're free now. Now you have to figure out how do I go forward. So they literally get a goat.

They get seeds to plant. They get, it's a whole system that CSI has worked out and everything, freeing the slave, this celebration that is put on once they're freed, and then setting them up in a life of freedom. is all for $250. So you thank God for a strong U.S. dollar, that $250 of your money can do all of this. It's not $2,500. It's $250.

You can do this. And I say to people, get your kids involved. What are we doing for Christmas, Mommy? I'll tell you what we're doing. There are human beings in the world that are enslaved. Oh, I thought slavery was abolished. Well, it was abolished in the West. But there are Muslims who believe, according to their religion, that they are.

able, allowed to enslave people and they have done it. But we, because we're Christians, have the, we have the ability to free these slaves. We believe in doing that. What do we get back? We get back the joy of knowing we participate in what God is doing in the world today through people who actually believe in him and who live out their faith. Faith without works is dead. This is something we get to do. It's amazing to me, Todd, that CSI has made this possible because So one thing we could say, oh, wouldn't it be great if? Well, CSI has done this. Do you know how long CSI's been doing this?

I mean, because to set this up for such a long, so that they can actually do this, this is what's amazing to me. Yeah, we actually got involved in this work in 1995, where, you know, we were aware that this had happened and we began actually negotiating the legislation to be passed that this could no longer happen again. So CSI had a hand in negotiating that process and made ongoing slavery, enslavement of these Sudanese Christians illegal. And then we tried to get some legislation passed that would actually mandate that they be set free, failed at that.

And so that's when we began. We just said, well, if the governments aren't going to help us do this, we'll go out and do it. And we've come to Christians all around the world, especially here in the U.S., every year since. And you've so generously donated tens of thousands of these slaves have been freed because of the compassion. and the love of Christians. And there's many more. We've got to get another liberation coming up early this year. And so we're hoping and praying that during our year-end campaign, we do this every year here on your program. We're hoping and praying that we can see at least another 700 slaves liberated. We've done far more than that in the past. And so who knows what God will do. But

he does it through you. So thank you for giving generously. Thank you for praying about what God would have you do. We're so grateful for you. And I want to say, folks, you should be so excited. You get to do this. You get to do this. This is not an idea. This is like, I got an idea. I wonder if, no, you actually get to do this. CSI has done the work by the grace of the Lord. They have done all this work. They've set this up. They have the people already in the process of this. All they need is our money so they can do it. So they can buy the things to set these slaves up now in a life of freedom and so on and so forth. So if you can't give $250, what can you give? $50, $100, whatever you can give, goes to freeing actual slaves. I want to give you the phone number. By the way, you know where to go. Metaxistock.com.

Folks, right now in other parts of the world, people's lives are being threatened simply for believing in Jesus. People have been enslaved for their faith. So listeners to this show know that I'm passionate about the work of

Christian Solidarity International because they protect and free those who are being persecuted and enslaved for their Christian faith.

Am I saying that right? Pauli Chuck. No, no, no, the Danny part. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Danie. Danny? Danny. Danny. It's a hardy. Danny. Danny. Pollachuck. Okay, Danny, Pollichick, you identify as a New York Jew.

Sure. A Canadian Jew. I actually identify as a Canadian. But now you're in New York. But now I'm New York. All right. The thing is, people here get testy when you refer to yourself as a New Yorker, when you're not. Have you done your service time? Can I tell you something? As a New Yorker, you give them pushback. Yeah. You say, excuse me, step back. I live here. Don't say it again. Okay. Look, you're also a comedian. And the reason you're here is for many reasons. As a Jew, as a comedian, as a Jewish comedian, as a New York Jewish comedian, I want to talk to you about last weekend on Saturday Night Live, they had, I didn't watch it on purpose because I never watched Saturday Night Live because now I'm an adult. But my question is they did a really tasteless little skit.

I mean, the tasteless part to me is just when it's not funny. that's what offends my sensibility. Let's start there. Not funny comedy show. So that's strike three right there. Sure. But as a Jew, I mean, the thing is, I'm at a point now where I want to identify as a Jew because I'm so angry at the anti-Semitism I'm seeing.

And when I had last week, we had Dennis Prager as my guest at Socrates in the city. And he talked privately. this was at the dinner following the event about non-Jews getting a Mazuzza for their door to say, I identify as a Jew, if you're coming for the Jews, come for me. And my opinion as a Christian, not a Gentile, as a Christian, a Jesus-believing Christian, Christians who are real Christians and not just hypocrite church-going pseudo-Christians, should step up and identify with the Jews as Bonhofer. did, my hero Bonhofer.

Because what we're seeing right now is so despicable. What we saw in the Ivy League, so first of all, talk a little bit about, I mean, most people have seen it by now, but we have a bunch of Ivy League presidents. Sure. And of course they're all women. Yeah. Why? Which is so funny, because it was the day after my sketch about, I did the sketch about how Hamas thanks all the women of America.

Because this is a very female-oriented movement. Like all the posters getting torn down. Like, not only, I'm not, I wouldn't say that, but like, it's very, and I don't know if it was women are just generally more agreeable and the more likely to take up causes or whatnot, even though these are wrong. But you know what I mean? It's just like, it's hard to not notice that. That's interesting. And forgive me for not bringing that up that you have done, you've specifically done comedy mocking the anti-Semitism and Hamas. Yeah.

But all these Ivy League presidents, I mean, let's just say it for what it is. the Ivy League is so woke that if you're white, like that's strike two, but if you're a woman, you might make it as a president. Right. If you're black woman or transgender, you know, like all of that stuff matters in these elite, quote unquote, elite organizations or schools or whatever. And so you have three women testifying, none of whom could say that. Calling for Intifada, calling for wiping out the Jews, you know, violates their campus speech codes. It's so crazy, too, because it was such an obvious gotcha and it was so easy.

Like, I try to think, I'm like, should they have said just yes? They just give a yes or no answer and they just go, yes. I couldn't really figure out what the pushback would be. I'll tell you the pushback. Yeah. It's like, it's kind of like a show trial. Stalin will have you shot in the head the moment you leave that room. They're living in a world where Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, the moment you say what everybody knows you should say, if you actually say that, you will be shot in the head.

So they would rather risk, you know, everything they're going through now. Right. Yeah, because I guess... ...actually standing up for Jews publicly. Yeah, because I guess they would... If they said yes, then essentially they would not allow some of the demonstrations on their campus, which here's the thing. I'm very pro-free speech absolutist, you know, as long as you're not yelling fire in a crowded theater or whatever. Their issue is that they're the biggest hypocrites on earth. Okay.

Because these are the people who are saying, like, fat phobia is grounds for dismissal. This is the point. And this is a lot of people are missing this. We are for free speech. We're not talking about that. We're talking about a campus that has no free speech. They are freaks. that you can't say a million things.

You cannot say they have campus codes. So they are already infringing on any kind of actual free speech, any academic freedom. They're already doing that with chosen topics. When it comes to this topic, suddenly they're all about free speech. They're all about free speech. Yeah, of course. So that's, in other words, this is a level of hypocrisy that is mind-blowing. And we have to say this as well.

Danny, they are scared to death, these women college presidents. If they say the wrong thing, that the mobs on their campuses will come for them. That's how that goes. They're going to come to their house. So that is what the preposterous elite universities have created. It is where we are now. Yeah. I guess it's a lose-lose for them.

Like they had, I suppose, you know, because whatever they said, they were toast. But yeah, it seems so easy. But then, you know, live by the sword, die by the sword, I suppose. Well, look, that's right. I said on my Twitter that, you know, it's one thing for these, like, token figureheads to get fired. That's, it's meaningless. Everyone should boycott these schools the way you boycott Target, the way you no longer buy Anheuser-Busch products, the way you don't drink Bud Light or you don't go to Disney.

these places need to be shut down. In other words, if you're dumb enough to think that it would be a good thing for my kid to go to an Ivy League school in 2023, you're part of the problem. Sure. Is there any prescription here for reversing this, do you think? Well, I think the first thing you do is deal with reality.

It's kind of like people who still read the New York Times. It's like you're in an opium den. The first thing is get out of the opium den. If you're reading the New York Times, You're a foolish person. The paper of record, though. Yeah, right. Exactly.

But I'm saying, you have to wake up to reality. Yeah. And I'm here to say that the Ivy League was going downhill when I was there in the 80s. Now, if you were in some hard science or you were on the football team or whatever, you could escape this. I'm sure. But every year it's gotten worse. So that these places are now incubators for Marxist, atheist, atheist, secular, lunar. that is, it's one step away from the guillotine's in France in 1793.

That's basically what you're dealing with in the IB League today. And if you want to send your child to that, because you're so insecure that you want that, you know, diploma for your kid to make you feel like a good parent, you're part of the problem. Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, I don't really know because it seems like the type of thing where I don't think there's like a policy that can just reverse this. It's like it truly is like a mental framework that is. It's kind of like, you know, you need to get out of that country because it's going down.

It's going to be a bloodbath. Potentially more free speech. Like are we saying let's remove all the guardrails here and then everybody gets a taste of various medicines? We all know that like I don't have free speech in my house. Right? Sure. Like my house is my house. Yep.

So if I get together with a group of people and I say, hey, we're not going to going to talk about this, whatever. But I'm saying in a public place, and a university is supposed to be not just like a public place, but it's supposed to be the incubator of truth and ideas. Yeah. Right? Yeah. And so if you are at a place, but all these places have already gone crazy.

I mean, look, let's talk about you. You're a comedian. You can't do comedy in many places today because they say, well, you can't talk about that. You can't joke about that. I mean, you're a comedian. What do you do for laughs? So for stand-up, stand-up has still always been. There are shows where, you know, there's a little, like, these kind of pockets in the city,

like Brooklyn has its own scene, and they very much are, you know, they're not just having everybody. It's a real, like, monoculture in terms of, but if you go to, like, the comedy seller or, like, any of the real kind of comedy hubs, there's no limits. The only limit is just, like, is it funny or is it not funny? Okay, and the reason for that is that's the bridge and tunnel crowd who have common sense. Right. And there's a lot of tourists as well.

No, what I'm trying to say is like these are normal people who are not part of this like woke bubble who are coming in from Jersey. They're tourists. They actually, they laugh at what's funny. They're not afraid to be offended. And there's an odd overlap too where there's a lot of people who say maybe would work at a university, like a Harvard, for example. They don't believe these things. But they also don't want to have to go look for a new job. Yeah.

Right? They're like, you know what? They kind of just tow the line. and then hopefully it just doesn't get too bad until they're able to retire. And then they go to comedy clubs because they just need to hear a person say the things they think but are not allowed to say out loud just so they're not crazy. Comedians are truth tellers and they make us laugh because they say the uncomfortable thing that we're already thinking, but we didn't know that we could say or whatever it is.

So I want to talk to you more about Hamas and anti-Semitism in New York and around the country. Danny Polishuk is my guest on the Eric Mataxis show, Metaxistalkys talk.com. With the overturn of Rovi Wade, lots of companies are coming out saying they'll pay for employee abortion travel and expenses. Most of you've heard about some of these companies. You've decided to stop shopping or doing business there, but did you know that you most likely own stock in those companies through your 401Ks, IRAs, and other investment accounts?

Tell me why Relief Factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question just the other night. I was asked that question. Well, the owners of Relief Factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal. And I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated Relief Factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug-free ingredients, and each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation.

Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. If you've got back pain, shoulder, neck, hip, knee, or foot pain from exercise, they're just getting older. You should order the three-week quick start discounted to only $1995. to see if it'll work for you. It has worked for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more on one of them. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer. Feel the difference.

Folks, welcome back. I'm talking to a New York based comedian, and he really is based. Danny Polichuk. So, Danny, you do comedy. I mean, we're talking, it's, you know, it's very serious talking about anti-Semitism and Hamas. And, you know, SNL last weekend did this piece, instead of making fun of the woke university presidents, who are just cowards. I mean, they're just cowards. They got the job because they're women. They got the job because she's black.

In other words, they're living in a world so crazy that they're all in fear of just speaking truth, of stepping out of line. They know they're going to lose their job and replaced by somebody even more intersectional. Yeah. And it's not funny. Yeah.

But what do you think is the climate at a place like SNL? I mean, you're in New York. I mean, I know exactly. So the sketch that you're referencing was a parody of the hearing, the congressional hearing or whatever, where the whatever anti-Semitism thing. Elise Stefanik, who's from New York. I believe so. Congresswoman is questioning these three harpies. Yeah.

These cowards. Yeah. And essentially, so the joke is that they're skewer. her. They're making fun of her. They're making fun of the hero in the story, Elise DeFannick, who is actually calling out these three elite

elitist women on being unable to say kill the Jews, violates her speech code. Because obviously everything in their framework of like on the college, it's just a purely like oppressor a press, you know, they always talk about like punching up and you're like, well, you're definitely punching

up when these are the head of Harvard. you're not punching down because she's she's the president of Harvard. Right. How could you, you know, but anyways, you watch it. The sketch was a train wreck. Like absolutely, you know, the audience isn't really laughing. And that's their cold open. That's not some sketch that gets buried an hour and 10 minutes in, you know?

Like, that's their cold open. So anyways, it was bad. But the type of people who they hire at Saturday Night Live are definitely I guarantee more pro-Palestine than they are pro-Israel, and that's what you get. And they're all... And they probably went to Harvard and they went to... Oh, no, no, no, no.

Listen, I remember, when I was at Yale, everybody knew that Harvard and the Harvard Lampoon was a feeding tube to S&L and all these great comedy jobs, right? I mean, we didn't have that at Yale, which is why I didn't get a job. That's not true. But I guess the point is that all of those people

have been indoctrinated in the Ivy League, which is why I have to repeat, the Ivy League is dead. It is like, I mean, it's like an alkali desert. You just don't want to go there. You will starve to death. There's no truth. There's no freedom.

And here you have the presidents of these places, again, all women, of course, who are afraid to say the most basic thing. And what does SNL do? SNL makes fun of the woman who is doing the right thing. Yeah. And it's not funny. Now, how do you make fun? You're a comedian.

How do you do you do? I just do the opposite of what Saturday Night Live does. Okay, just the opposite. I go, whatever they do, I go, I'm just going to do the opposite. No, they, I mean, you know, everybody has their perspective. The problem is, is that they are very much, you know, a hive mind. Like, there's no diversity of thought there at all. Yeah, no, right?

Like, I know who works there, like, especially in the writers. They, you know, and again, they probably have no, it's one of those things where none of them have any incentive, even if they do think counter this stuff, to stick their heads out, next out, and say, hey, and everybody's like, okay, well, you're now a pariah until you get fired. Which brings us to late night comedy,

the death of the late night shows. Exactly. Late night comedy used to exist. Back a long, long time ago, in a place far away, there was a guy named Johnny Carson, there was a guy named David Letterman, Leno. What it has become, these institutions, these shows, are basically, it's wokeism.

Yeah. And it's the same hive mind. It's the same liberal elitist. Like they don't seem to have anybody on their staff who, you know, would vote Republican, who would say maybe the vaccines are not a good idea. Well, Pfizer's their sponsor. I don't know if they're, you know what I mean? Like they have these crazy corporate sponsorships who probably wouldn't allow this.

But yeah, like you could fix Saturday Live. I don't know if you could fix it. But if they just, you know, mixed up in terms of just ideology and they got like a real... But they're being repressed. They're just, they're all being replaced. I'm just saying like, while we wonder, like, what's going to happen in New York Times? What's going to happen to the AV League? What's going to S&L? They're all quietly being replaced by other things. People read other things. People are going to other colleges. People are homeschooling. They're not sending their kids to these places. They're getting actual jobs. There's a million things happening, which we're not going to hear about on the news. And late night TV, I will say, that just has become, like, you know, antiquated dude. It seems crazy to me that you would, on a Tuesday night, stay up till 1230 to watch a five-minute interview with some actor who's just essentially promoting a movie that you probably won't even go see, you know? Right. Like, that just doesn't even make sense anymore.

Because you can just watch it the next day on YouTube. So, why would I stay up till? So, and then they're all kind of just doing the same thing. There's nothing really original. It's essentially a commercial for whatever the thing that the guests are promoting. just have access to these guests. That's it. There you go.

Yeah. No, it's become all this legacy stuff, again, whether you're talking about the New York Times, whether you're talking about the Ivy League, whether you're talking about NBC, ABC. I think we just have to reckon them all as dead. They're basically dead or dying. It's like a cut flower. It's dead. It might look nice for another, you know, a couple of days, but it's dead.

It has no roots. Yeah. But it's being replaced by all kinds of stuff, truth tellers like Danny Polichuk. How can people find Danny Polichuk? You can find me on Twitter. at Danny Jokes, my Instagram got deleted, but I'm working on getting that back. I'm currently in the process of being extorted

Right now it is. But yeah, if you're not standing with the Jews, you're part of the problem. People say, I mean, because I wrote my book on Bonhoeffer, what would happen, you know, if I was alive in Nazi Germany, I would be like, you know, doing the right thing. I'd be like Oscar Schindler. Well, what are you doing right now? Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing right now? Now, you, Danny, you are doing some wonderful stuff.

You're doing comedy, making fun of Hamas and the anti-Semitism. Yeah. I'm making more fun of the people in this country who support Hamas, whether they are willing to admit that or not. Like, one of the things is, you know, the intifada. And this goes back to the whole Harvard and all these presidents where they're saying, you know, this isn't a call for genocide. And you're like, yeah, technically, I guess you could say, if you want to go by like the definition, they go, well, Intifada just means civil uprising.

You're like, okay, well, but do you know what happened during the actual last one? You know what I mean? Like it's one of those things. Nobody can agree on anything right now. That's the main thing. Nobody can agree on the definition of anything. So it's just two sides talking past each other. But it's also, what I don't get is like the Intifada was like around 2000.

Was that one? Yeah, I think it was 2005. Okay. And what does that mean? Uprising against whom? Against the vicious Jews that are oppressing the Palestinians? That's the narrative, right? Yeah.

And that's another thing too. So everybody, there's this whole thing, anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are two separate things. You know, that's like a big thing right now. And I agree. Like I'm not a big pro-government guy, you know, regardless of where they are. Right. But the problem is is people.

are just, they so often switch back where they'll say like, oh, you know, the Israelis and then they're like the next sentence, they're like calling them the Jews. Yeah. Right. And you're like, the moment that you keep kind of like switching back, you kind of lose that argument. Like people have to be very careful with their words about this stuff because you could have an argument and then you lose it so quickly because you just start referring to blanket statement, the Jews. Well, let's, I mean, look, let's be clear. Hamas hates the Jews. Certainly. And so. if you're pro-Palestinian, you are siding with people, many of whom simply hate Jews. That's the problem here. It's not like, oh, they're these good guys, and then there's the raping, murdering, Hamas. There's enough of a blend and a blur that you have a problem out of the gate. So, you know, when you talk about people, you know, who are calling for uprising against the Jews, and they make the Jews sound like oppressors. What are they saying exactly?

In other words, what is the oppression that they... I mean, I understand the whole issue. Like, I'm not going to say that there's, you know, not some legitimate grievances by the Palestinian people. Right. Right. Like, they certainly do, and I understand it's a difficult situation. But the problem is, is just, you know, there's not...

First off, there's not an answer. There's not one easy answer. Everybody is arguing nonstop. They're having these long, forum debates, you know, trying to essentially get to some sort of solution. There isn't just some easy solution. There's a very difficult solution maybe that could take, you know, protracted years. But there's not just some snapping your fingers and we've solved this thing, you know? So, I mean, everybody's trying to figure it out. Yes, there are grievances. But again, obviously,

I think it's like people can kind of go, go too far in certain, certain. But how do, how do you How do you get comedy out of this? Like, what do you do? How do I get caught? Well, when I see, you know, people who are saying misgendering someone is, you know, like one of the greatest crimes known to man. And then their next thing is, you know, they're saying we need to get rid of the Jews or they're doing stuff that's like, you know, pretty. I wouldn't say blatant, but certainly by their code of conduct would be a violation if it was any other thing. And it's just pointing out the hypocrisies of these things, which is what comedy should be.

Well, that gets us back to these just unbelievable cowards who are the presidents. Maybe by the time this air is they will have been fired, but they'll just be replaced by another woke figurehead token. Whoever is the head of any of these Ivy League schools didn't the other day have the ability to say, just to clarify folks, that on campus they already have in place, these utterly idiotic anti-bullying like codes. Yeah, of course. Right?

So, no, but that's the point. They have this Marxist garbage on campus that if you say X or Y or Z, ooh, like, so they don't have free speech and they have these anti-bullying codes. So when they were asked by Elise Stefaniac, do these codes apply to these crowds on your campus calling for wiping out? Israel, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

They could not say, oh, yes. In other words, they're saying basically, and you've already said it, but if you misgender someone, that's not even a thing, right? But if you call a man in a wig, a man, oh, you're in big trouble on Harvard, at Harvard. But if you call for the death of Israel,

you're not in trouble. That's where we are. And it's sort of like the comedy rights itself. I mean a bit. And again, like, she even gave them, she wasn't saying like, hey, if you call is death genocide of, like, if you call for the abolition of Israel, is that a violation? She straight up gave them the biggest softball of saying if you call for the genocide and replace of Jews is that a violation.

And you're like, replace Jews with anything. What's the answer for that? You know, obviously the answer is yes. But to think that in their minds are like, well, if we answer yes right now, this is an even greater set of problems for them and why. But I'm saying if you said minority lesbians, they would say, oh, yeah, that's violation. Okay. Of course.

I'll say, okay, what about Jews? No. So that's the point, folks, is that they are choosing which are protected groups, which are special groups. So they are, this is the antithesis of so-called white supremacy. And Harvard, we know that they're, you know, they have discriminatory. discriminatory practices because it's been all in the news with their in terms of, you know, admissions and all that. So they're not shy about discriminating.

But again, it's just, it seems so easy. But then it, I guess you have to think, like, in their minds, if they were to say yes, they actually thought that that would cause them more issues than saying no. Like, they're probably like, well, when I get back to school, it's going to be, I'm going to be met by a mob. And this is exactly how it goes in Stalinist Russia, in. Nazi Germany and North Korea. And that's the Ivy League in America today. And you need to wake up to that,

folks. These are dark, dark places. Danny Polichuk, thank you for being my guest and for talking about important things, even though you're a comedian or whatever. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. Folks, welcome the show. You know at this time of year, we partner with CSI, Christian Solidarity International,

to actually free slaves in Sudan, Todd Chapman is with us to talk about. And Todd, you were saying off the air about the timing with Israel right now. Yeah, I just think I was thinking about this this morning as I was watching the news. I think all of our eyes have been fixed these recent days on the war that's happening between Israel and Hamas, but also these, you know, what was going to happen with all of these hostages with these captives. And thankfully, in the past few days, we've seen some of them begin to be freed. And I couldn't help Eric but think that, you know what, there are freedoms of people being that have been enslaved for decades now happening every year. And I'm not minimizing. I'm celebrating actually what's happening in Hamas right now. But by the very token that we're rejoicing that these women and these captives have been set

free, we also want to remind you that you have an opportunity to participate in freeing people that have been captive for 20, 30 years now in North. Sudan, and that's what CSI does every year. So I just think the timing of this is really great, but it was not lost on me that while, you know, the Hamas situation is getting all of this newsplay, tens of thousands of slaves are freed nearly every year by Christians in another part of the world. And the freedom on both sides is just equally as beautiful. But I just thought that was a good reminder that what we're doing here is absolutely significant. And even though it may not be played out of the mainstream media, God sees what his children are doing. And God

joises and he fuels us and funds us to do this work. And so just wanted to offer that as a kind of a different camera angle on what we're inviting our listeners to do today. That's a good way of putting it. And I have to say, you know, the older you get, the more you realize the mainstream media is a joke. Like they cover what they cover. And there's just an infinity of stuff that they don't cover.

They don't cover this. This could be in the news every single day. There are people enslaved for years and years and years. today in 2023. There are slaves today. And you think the whole world would be talking about what can we do to get them out.

This is insane. We can't let this happen in this day and age. Is there anything we can do about it? Not a peep. Obviously on this program, we talk about it because we know about it.

And when you know about these things, I hope you talk about them. But I want to encourage my audience. Tell your friends about this. People are thinking, you know what? I give for Christmas? What do I do? Let me tell you, folks, when you realize that $250 can free a human being from slavery in Sudan, this is a reality. They're living this right now while we're talking

on this program, while you're going about your life. They are living in slavery. Hard for us to believe, but it's true. And we're here to tell you that you can do something about it. So I want to remind you, if you go to metaxis talk.com, you can give there's a banner right at the top of the page. the CSI banner, Christian Solidarity International, right at the top of the page, and you can give, or you can call 888-253-3522, 8-88-253-3522.

you know, speaking about the mainstream media, we are the media. You can take this clip, we put this stuff on Rumble, we will put this on social media. You can send this to your friends. You can tell your friends about this program. Send these programs to your friends.

There are human beings waiting for us to do something about it. Or they're waiting for God to move on the hearts of those who professes. faith in him to do something about this. You can be that person. I would dare say it's God's will that we be those people. So you can call 888-253-3522 or just go to metaxistalk.com. Metaxistalk.com. You'll see the information right there. God bless you as you give here.
