If we want our culture back, if we want to save souls, we have to talk openly about Satan and what God told us about times such as these. Here is Satan at work in Major League Baseball. In this video you will watch the effective owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers perform a sexualized reenactment of the Lord Jesus Christ dying on the cross for humanity. The group apparently doing that vile, ungodly act is called The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. They had been disinvited the the Los Angeles Dodgers until the Satanic group sat the suits who run the team down and engaged them in a struggle session. Now, the Los Angeles Dodgers will honor these satanists during a baseball game in a stadium built on land stolen by abuse of eminent domain. They are owned. Christian players, coaches and fans have the following choice: Jesus or Major League Baseball. The MLB can get away with this because less than half of Americans are certain God exists and many Christians are not convinced Satan is real. They can get away with it because, unless it's mocking same-sex attracted people or Muslims, the Mockingbird Media will bury it. So, we need to talk about it. Here's Satan at work in Target Stores. Target Partnered With Satan Supporter Who Wants To ‘Eradicate' Critics Of TransgenderismIs this Satan at work in the body of this Nebraska State Senator who is obsessed with mutilating children because she loves them so much? The Senator says she is doing God's Will. Senator Machaela Cavanaugh invokes God in opposition to LB574, a bill restricting abortion and SO_CALLED “transgender” “health” care [Read: mutilating kids] in the Nebraska Legislature. Note to Macheala: God often uses people just like you, but not in the way you seem to imagine. How can this be anything but Satan at work? A woman who co-bosses a committee in King Country, home of the separate Country of Seattle, screams at a colleague for refusing to enthusiastically endorse a child rapist to help decide where and how to house homeless kids. Guess where this man was when he abused kids? What does God's Word say? Matthew 10:4-254 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,' and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,'[a] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!' or, ‘There he is!' do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.Episode 851 Links:Does God exist?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: Tobias Peter—Research Fellow & Assistant Director of the American Enterprise Institute's Housing Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss an editorial he co-authored with Edward Pinto, “Biden Courts Another Mortgage Crisis.” Peter and Pinto write: “The Biden administration is making moves that could imperil the safety of the housing finance system. Recent mortgage pricing changes, which have generally decreased fees for borrowers with lower credit scores and increased fees for those with higher scores, have rightly garnered public outcry, but they are the tip of the iceberg. The administration's other changes require just as much attention, particularly since the reigning mantra of the White House is to strengthen ‘racial equity and support for underserved communities'—regardless of who gets hurt or how much it costs. Missed in the debate about loan-level pricing changes is that the Federal Housing Finance Agency already distorts the riskiness of loans it originates, and ultimately taxpayers are on the hook for those loans.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-courts-another-mortgage-crisis-federal-housing-finance-agency-mortgage-loans-risk-2008-homeownership-fe752269?mod=opinion_lead_pos7 On June 16th, the Los Angeles Dodgers will be hosting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence—a far-left, self-described LGBTQ+ affiliated group that has gained notoriety by mocking Catholics. Target has begun removing “LGBTQ+” related merchandise from its stores and websites. The retail corporation received backlash after selling children's swimsuits that promise to “bind” and “tuck”—appealing to trans-kids.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/24/2023): 3:05pm- According to reports, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has officially filed to run for president in 2024. On Wednesday night, Gov. DeSantis is expected to formally announce his candidacy during a live-streamed interview on Twitter with billionaire Elon Musk. 3:15pm- According to polling organizations like CNN, Quinnipiac, and Harvard-Harris which have recently measured support among Republicans in the 2024 Presidential Primary, former President Donald Trump currently leads Florida Governor Ron DeSantis by 27% or more. Can DeSantis catch Trump? 3:40pm- Music legend Tina Turner has died at age 83. 3:45pm- Reacting to Gov. Ron DeSantis' presidential announcement taking place on Twitter, CNN analyst Sara Fischer warned that this is a “scary time” for Rupert Murdoch and Fox News. 3:50pm- Henry ruins The Rich Zeoli Show tribute to Tina Turner…PLUS will Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign announcement be boring? It could be more exciting than most people are expecting—because Elon Musk has proven repeatedly that he is capable of doing/saying anything. 4:05pm- Tobias Peter—Research Fellow & Assistant Director of the American Enterprise Institute's Housing Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss an editorial he co-authored with Edward Pinto, “Biden Courts Another Mortgage Crisis.” Peter and Pinto write: “The Biden administration is making moves that could imperil the safety of the housing finance system.

The retail corporation received backlash after selling children's swimsuits that promise to “bind” and “tuck”—appealing to trans-kids. 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: While appearing on Fox News with Dana Perino, women's cycling champion Hannah Arensman announced her retirement from the sport following a devastating loss to a biological male in a recent women's competition. 5:15pm- While speaking at a House Oversight hearing, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) outlandishly claimed that gas stoves were killing people—including many of her constituents. The progressive congresswoman seemingly called for a ban on gas stoves…while defiantly emphasizing “this is not a ban on gas stoves!” 5:30pm- According to a hidden camera interview with a Special Assistant for Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), the senator would be “okay with…overturning the second amendment.” The interview was conducted by O'Keefe Media Group. 5:45pm- Last week, several Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) whistleblowers testified before a House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. The hearing addressed alleged abuses of power by leadership within the FBI. In his opening statement, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) warned the FBI whistleblowers that following their testimony before Congress they would likely be improperly targeted by elements of the federal government—citing Matt Taibbi as an example of what could happen. Four days after testifying before Congress, Internal Revenue Service officers alarmingly showed up to the home of independent journalist Matt Taibbi. 6pm: BREAKING NEWS: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis formally announces his candidacy for U.S. President during a live-streamed interview on Twitter Spaces alongside billionaire Elon Musk and PayPal co-founder David Sacks. Unfortunately, the announcement was plagued with technical issues—taking nearly twenty-minutes to sort out the problems before DeSantis was able to speak. Will this less-than-ideal launch have a lasting impact on his campaign?

Fr. Mike starts to unpack the character of Solomon and explains how we can see the beginning of his downfall in today's readings. Although Solomon has been blessed with wisdom, he lacks obedience, which is much more important in maintaining a relationship with God. Today's readings are 1 Kings 1, 2 Chronicles 1, and Psalm 43.

The LGBTQIA+ Alphabet Mafia can fly the “Mission Accomplished” flag above the sports world. They won. The Los Angeles Dodgers officially surrendered on behalf of the wide world of sports. The Dodgers apologized to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of gay men who mock religious faith by dressing as Catholic nuns, women who dedicate their entire lives to God and to the service of their fellow man. A week ago, the baseball franchise bowed to the outrage of Catholics and disinvited the blasphemous group of drag queens to the organization's annual “Pride Night.” Now, caving to pressure from the woke mob, the Dodgers again have invited the demonic group back to Chavez Ravine. Not only has the sports world favor sexual and gender ideology over religious freedom, they have turned their back on the founders. “You realize who organized sports? It wasn't lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, and queers. It was the Young Men's Christian Association. The YMCA.” Jason says today's athletes would rather ally with the Alphabet Mafia than Christians. “Professional sports are the wrong platform to mock religious faith. It's blasphemous on a baseball diamond, a football field, and a basketball court.” Jason welcomes Timothy Gordon and Dr. Taylor Marshall to discuss the Dodgers disregard for the Catholic community. Delano Squires joins “Fearless” to discuss Voddie Baucham's excellent sermon on the LGBTQ agenda. And, now that the Lakers have been swept from the NBA playoffs by Denver, it's time to start discussing LeBron James and retirement. Steve Kim joins Jason for that conversation.

Friends, a recent study from the Pew Research Center found that nearly seven-in-ten Catholics (69%) believe that during Mass, the bread and wine used in communion “are symbols of the body and blood of Jesus Christ.” Only one-third of U.S. Catholics believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation, which says the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus. This is a spiritual crisis, and in response, the United States bishops have launched a three-year Eucharistic revival to help Catholics understand the truth and beauty of this sacrament. On today's episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss our hopes for the revival and the special resource Word on Fire created to accompany it. A listener asks, if the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, is the Eucharist a person?

Fr. Mike uses the readings today to ask the question, how can we love the Lord joyfully, and with our whole hearts? In scripture today we see David succeed in this, while his son Solomon is divided in his love of God. Fr. Mike also explains why David was seeking his own power when taking the census in 2 Samuel, and how he fell subject to the evil one's tempting. Today's readings are 2 Samuel 24, 1 Chronicles 29, and Psalm 30. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Fr. Mike touches on one of his favorite bible stories about David's mighty men and discusses his attitude in old age.
