Moses Series:  Putting God on Trial, Exodus 17:1–6 Believe or not, there are actual lawsuits on record where people have tried to sue God. The first one I heard about was from Ernie Chambers, a Senator from Nebraska. Just like the others, he cited God as being negligent because of the evil, suffering, and destruction taking place all across the world he created. The judge threw out the case saying God could not be properly notified of the case since he has no home address.It sounds absurd that anyone would try to take God to trial, but it is a real condition of the (sinful) human heart. We have a tendency to blame and accuse God. That's exactly what we see with the Israelites. That place of quarreling with Moses and grumbling against him was really them accusing God (17:2-3). Remarkably, God sees this and he does not strike the people, condemn them, or even hide from the legal process. He commands Moses to set up court – gather the elders and take up the staff (i.e., the rod of authority). We find here God's incredible patience and willingness to suffer long with our wickedness (see 2 Peter 3:9). Moses strikes the rock and water flows forth for the people to drink (17:5-6). Ultimately, we get a heart-wrenching revelation from this in that Jesus is the Rock that was struck for our offenses against God. Woah!We now have water to drink; that is, a new life to nourish and sustain us in Christ. So, the next time we hear of a foolish court case against God, you can post the sermon link from this weekend and attach these notes for reflection: God's long-suffering nature Instead of God casting off and rejecting sinners, he engages with them and meets their needs. God's Patience The sinful mind loses patience with God (i.e., accuses him). The heavenly perspective causes us to focus on God's patience with us. God's faithfulness; our forgetfulness Because of sin we often forget about God's goodness to us, even if it was recent. Similarly, we tend to harp on the hard times in our walk, even if they happened long ago.

The eyes of the nation have been marveling over Nebraska District 2’s Omaha’s return of the blue dot after Democrat Joe Biden claimed the area’s single electoral vote. Nebraska is one of only 2 states (the other is Maine) that allows their electoral votes to represent the district they represent rather than being thrown into a bucket of winner takes all. NE has a total of five electoral votes. Two are awarded to the statewide winner of the popular vote. The three others are awarded to the winner of each of the state’s three congressional districts. Omaha native Gabrielle Union joined in with a tweet honoring the reason we can all celebrate the Blue Dot legacy and that is NE Unicameral legend: Ernie Chambers. The GOP majority legislature has tried often and relentlessly to remove our way of splitting votes- and Ernie Chambers has time and time again stalled it out with filibusters. He has spent hours and hours filibustering for our interests.  Gabrielle Unions Tweet: “When people ask where my fight comes from, it comes from freedom fighters like Ernie Chambers from the Northside of Omaha. Respect!” And now we have a new hero to celebrate for bringing back the Blue Dot. And it is the beautiful, charismatic Precious McKesson. On Dec. 14, McKesson will travel from Omaha to Lincoln to cast a presidential electoral vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. McKesson played a leading role in making it happen as political director for the Biden campaign in metropolitan Omaha's 2nd District, where Blacks and Latinos were mobilized to help Biden win an electoral vote in a dependably Republican state. Today we sit down with Precious to discuss her role in this historic moment. She was also in the room when Gov. Pete Ricketts met with black community leaders and subsequently offended their communities in a viral video moment documented by one of the black pastors who abruptly left the meeting. Precious is a passionate community organizer and we are so happy to bring her voice and lived experience to you. Thanks for listening. Follow Us: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram

I believe we are in a new civil war now. We have intimidation squads now operating around the country. I explore how these mobs caused a prosecutor in Omaha Nebraska to empanel a grand jury after he had otherwise declined to charge owner of the Omaha bar the hive Jacob Gardner. 126 - We are in a New Civil War - The Jacob Gardner Case 00:00:05 - 00:05:16 And? Welcome, Republic. Uber Podcast Name is Brian Kelly. I will be your host for today's program. Broadcasting from the forest, just outside of the anarchists zone in Seattle Washington. My name is Brian Kelly again this is the republic keeping podcast. Our facebook. Number One, twenty, six. Republic Uber Dot Com website etcetera for the social media connections and more and let's kick this off like every other broadcast in. Thank God for good health and the ability to be here sharing. With you today and. Wondering where that extra sound is coming from and I just figured it out I was like, wow, weird. ECHO in my. Ear. I forgot to turn the volume down on one of my Monitoring Devices, not that you all care but anyway good morning. Welcome and thanks for joining lots to go through today. Today's program. titled. America's new civil war. And at the risk of that being hyperbole, let me talk to you a little bit about why I'm saying this. This has been a conversation I've been having for. Literally, decades I remember. Over twenty years ago. Sitting in a parking, lot of the newspaper I was working out with my friend Julian and we were discussing the political landscape in America, and I told him at that point that I thought that the country was going to break up into four or five countries someday. That was my view then and it's still not very different today. My view was that the west coast would split off and become its own country. That the mid West would separate into at least one country. And, the eastern seaboard would separate into. Two Countries a northeast and southeast country along, and these would be along values in ideological lines was my view and because the reality is that there's nothing about Nebraska. And Kansas and Iowa. That's like Oregon. Or Florida. And it's not just the geography of climate. It's the attitudes and the people and the things that they value. Now people are people but the culture you grow up in determines a lot about what you value in consider. To be important and So I, told Julian years ago that I thought that the country was going to break up into. Three four or five countries and along ideological lines, and we are seeing these ideological divisions happen and IT IS A. To say IT'S A it's a war. That's hyperbole, right? Well, I don't know. You know typically in a war you have. Military engaged on both sides right and sometimes in guerrilla wars, the military aren't official military. There are a paramilitary group right or a loosely organized group and the Sikh Kita station seems to be the. Once these things start to invade your neighborhood. And stop being just police chasing criminals. It's the point to me. It seems that there's a line that's crossed, and so I've collected together quite a few pieces of video and audio from around the country of these intimidation squads at work and this has resulted in. The death of a man named Jake Gardner and we're GONNA go in depth into that one case before the show is over today. So let's jump right in here with some of the first things these intimidation squads are as I say ramping up all over the country and you've seen some of the violence that's happened at the protests including some shootings, right? Well, this is just real quick. This is a man who was beat up a few weeks ago. I think just like August twentieth. So about a month ago, I guess in Portland take a listen and here is the video this man. Hearing. From the truck driver who was brutally beaten over the weekend by demonstrators in Portland. Meanwhile, protesters are renewing their battles with federal agents correspondent. Dan Springer has the latest tonight. Tonight Portland Police are wondering where the next attack will be last night. It was back at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office with of federal officers inside Portland. Police declared a riot after protesters started a fire broke several windows and through softball sized rocks at officers we all should be condemning the violence that's occurring increasingly. There are calls for citizens to rise up and say, no more police chief Chuck Lavelle wrote the solution is in a critical mass of community and partners coming together to denounce this criminal activity and call it out for the first time since his brutal beating over the weekend at heinous speaking out saying he stopped to help a transgender woman who has been. 00:05:17 - 00:10:04 Hearing from the truck driver who was brutally beaten over the weekend by demonstrators in Portland meanwhile, protesters are renewed. On the side of the road and she's trying to figure out what happened to me. Hater says he was called a racist during the attack police are still looking for their main suspect. Marquees love who reportedly posted on social media. Video. Bunny. Sorry about that. But that guy was beat up there in. PORTLAND. Okay. So that's okay. Fine gets beat up at the protest. You know that's not a big surprise. You went down the protest, right? You had it coming. Well, what about the Los Angeles police chief? Did He have it come instructors vandalized the home of LAPD chief Michael. Moore last night tonight. There's new concern that this type of activism is doing more harm than good to the Social Justice Movement and drowning out peaceful protests more now from NBC Forest Kim Bulletin Auto. It's a trend many find disturbing protesters going directly to the homes of public officials. Last night, the black future project vandalize the home of La Police chief Michael Moore and plastered signs laced with obscenities on his garage windows in front door. I'm very concern I know that I participated in a number of protests and demonstrations. During my time they've always been at a public place in front of a public facility earl. Affari Hutchinson is president of the L. E. Urban Policy Roundtable, and says protesting his point there. It's always been in a public place in front of a public forum right and so that that's fine that makes sense. You know the protests should be in know used to be down at the courthouse or whatever. Right? It didn't use to ever be. At anybody's home. So that was the LA police chief. That's a big city, right so you know he's a target that makes sense right? Well, how about we start with new video of the Olympia Mayor's home being vandalized this happened during protests last night watch closely there's this one person who appear to spray painted Blm by the door. They're the mayor sent us this video and it also looks like a sign saying Blm, which is obviously stiffer. Black lives matter throughout these protests was already in her window so she's along. So. That's the Olympia Washington mayor and that's The capital of the state of Washington here, and that's not a big city. It's it's a relatively small city. In fact, it didn't have the capital I don't know what what else it would have their. So, then Tucker Carlson is the course of the Fox host right. This is a report from the Australian TV about what happened to him. Now, this stuff isn't in nine enough the media partisanship with the cancel culture with a liberal lift same intent on silencing. Any opposing views? Well, it's played out in another ugly why in the United States influential conservative commentator Tucker Carlson has gone public now about how the Liberal Lift New York Times newspaper has targeted him. Two years ago left-wing journalists publicized our home address in Washington a group of screaming antiques lunatic showed up while I was at work vandalized are home they threatened my wife she called nine one one while hiding in a closet a few weeks later they showed up again at our house for the next year, they sent letters to our home threatening to kill us try to ignore it. It felt cowardly to sell our home and leave. We raised our kids there in the neighborhood and we loved it. But in the end, that's what we did. We have four children it just wasn't worth it. But the New York Times followed us the paper is assigned to political activists called Murray Carpenter to write a story about where we are. Now they've hired a photographer called tristen spins ski to take pictures their story about where we live is slated to run in the paper. This week editors there know exactly what will happen to my family when it does. Run I call them today and I told them but they didn't care. They hate my politics they want this show off the air. If one of my children gets hurt because of a story they wrote they won't consider it Claro damage. They know it's the whole point of the exercise to inflict pain on our family to terrorize us to control what we say. Because this is one of the big concerns I had in starting the show is what is it going to mean to my family? If I make the wrong person angry. Do I want to be a public person and this is what they're trying to do is to keep people from shutting up. And keep people for speaking out or shut people I remember when I. Was Beginning discussing this. Concept I was talking with my boys who both serve in the military and explaining them. 00:10:05 - 00:15:06 This was a real concern. What if the mob comes to my house and you know attacks my wife and my grandkids are my children or anybody else my neighbors? and My boys said to be dad you know were literally there literally people shooting at us. And you're worried about some criticism in this from guys might come to your house. Well, it's you know yeah, it's not just criticism. It's I'm I'm kind of worried that they might actually hurt somebody because it's what they do. Here is outside of Derek Children's home this morning we're also learning more about the now former officers who were involved in George Floyd's death. We go right to Christiane Cordeiro, she is at the scene a thirty eight in Chicago where she was yesterday morning with what she knows today Christiane. Cool Jason We know that there were for responding officers initially we. Understood that there were at least two of them and we now. Have confirmed the identity of one of those responding officers former Minneapolis police officer, Derek Show van was one of the four who responded Monday night he's represented by Attorney Tom? Kelly Kelly represented Saint Anthony Police. Officer your Janas acquitted in the death of Landau Casteel in it 2017 we also learned. was put on leave at least once before and twenty eleven. He was one of five officers involved in a police shooting and little earth. In that case, we're told officers were responding to a shooting the suspect fled and when he didn't stop, he was shot in the Torso Minneapolis police later said that the officers acted appropriately and courageously very different reactions from NPD Cheese Madeira air when he fired Shelvin and his three colleagues yesterday. I stand before you in the city. Of Minneapolis here to say that our deepest condolences, the vast majority of the men and women who probably put on this uniform each and every day understand the important role in relationship we must have. We must have. With all of our community members and when tragedy strikes, it absolutely strikes to the core and we should all be impacted by this. There was a protest massive want here. Of course, you can hear a couple of people who actually just showed up just to show a little bit more of their support. There was also a smaller protests over in Oakdale at Derek Shaw Wtn's home a we understand that about a few dozen people showed up there. Yesterday protesters said enough is enough that they wanted to their presence known the chief of Oakdale. Police also showed up he said that given the circumstances he understands why people are so. Home protested him there and Then we had a repair Ginsberg died the other day and now people are protesting outside of. Mitch McConnell's house. Vote Him out and vote him out they WANNA get rid of Mitch so we go to now. Protest. Washington DC. Bureau bouncers house. See Mayor. Any murder. Cutting a majority. An During So these demonstrations are now happening outside of people's houses right here is the looking at a live picture right now happening now, protesters refusing to leave the condo complex they believe is the home to mayor Ted Wheeler. giving. Him a list of demands tonight. This is coin six news at ten o'clock. Good evening everyone. I'm Jeff Gianola all this comes after around two hundred people marched through northwest Portland earlier this evening before making their way to that condo complex are Jennifer dowling on the scene right now what is the latest Jennifer? Here behind me, there's a massive dance party going on is alive. Cut Her off right there because this is what happens every time the reporters come on and say it's just a dance party. It's a lively crowd. It's nice to be here. But. What happens every time is that the party is early and the people committed a violence or there later, and the violence happens later and every single time the reporters of all gone home and the violence happens and I saw here in Seattle I mean I've witnessed this with my own eyes. This isn't just some speculation. I'm not some guy in some remote place who hasn't seen it. I've been down at the protests repeatedly Seattle and I've seen it these are organized. Events with people, coordinating them, and so on and so forth now. 00:15:08 - 00:20:06 After the break I've got one more to plan were come into the. Break and then we're gonNA come back and we're explore one man's real story that's ended in tragedy now. After the break. So I wanted to hear from this police captain here I. This is a Richmond Virginia, our police chief I guess in Richmond take a listen to Let's see if I got this cute up right and I don't think I'd do. Go, take a listen to this guy. And again there's a there's one incident I think is particularly pointed that truly illustrates. The The seriousness of the issues that we're facing. The mayor mentioned this last night protesters intentionally set a fire to unoccupied building on broad street. This is not the only occupied building that has been set fire to the last two days. But they prohibited us from getting on seeing. We had to force our way. To make a clear path for the department. Protesters intercepted that fire apparatus several blocks away with vehicles. Department scrambling. To the structure far. Inside that home was a child. Officers were able to. GET COMPOSURE BACK Officers were able to help those people out of the House. We were able to get the Fire Department there safely. Can Barely get through it. But when you take a Legitimate issue. And hijack it. For unknown reasons that is unacceptable to me, it's unacceptable to the right police department unacceptable to the city rich. As the mayor said, this isn't Richmond. And it truly is not Richmond. Virginia. Is Not even the mid Atlantic. Intelligence that we're working on presently so that we hope to be able to file charges following up from this, we have people from across the country have traveled. Many states to be here. We know that this is an organized effort. We're committed to try and identify those that are behind it. And we're doing our level best to arrest those that are perpetrating the balance in our community, our city, and our citizens. So. So these guys started fire to building set fire to a building that had people in it. And the adults were able to get out. And a baby was not able to get out. Now I don't know what you call that when they're attacking civilians. For no other reason apparently they lived in the wrong neighborhood. And I I don't know what you call that. So I'm saying, yeah, we're in a civil war because we have what is effectively a traveling funded paramilitary guerilla group the travels around the country and attacks. Anybody who doesn't agree with them who doesn't see it their way now I'm not sure about you but that sounds a lot like a civil war to me. So we get back. We're going to dig into the Jake Gardner case out of Omaha Nebraska in depth and I think you're gonNA find it fascinating and we'll see if you do we'll be right back in a minute and we'll. Explore what's happened there and We'll go from there. Thanks be right back. Welcome back to the Republika podcast broadcasts were we'll call it in. Hell. Thanks for those of you who are joining live on the livestream on facebook on twitter. Youtube appreciate it welcome good morning and There's been this Thing going on all around the country those plan these. Things that people being intimidated right public officials, police, officers, police, chiefs, mayors, etcetera, and you know one of the people that have been intimidated places are prosecutors right? Sometimes the prosecutors get intimidated if they don't act the way that the public wants them to because after all. The. Public has the best view of what's going on. That's why instead of juries now, we're just GONNA go to whatever the crowd thinks. It's ridiculous, right we're not going to do that. But what happens is if the crowd doesn't like the prosecutor's decision, sometimes they show up at the prosecutors house, and so we're going to go through the story now of a man named Jake Gardner. 00:20:07 - 00:25:09 and. This Omaha Nebraska. So this is the first news story. This is the morning after. So let me give you the setup real quick This man Jake Gardner owns a bar. And apparently there were protests there was some damage done. It has bar. As I understand it his father was there and his father and one of the protesters got into a shoving match and I I think maybe his dad's started it not certain how that worked out. But either way this man of Jake Gardner was pulled into it. was armed and a man jumped on him and he shot and fired in what was initially determined to be self. Defense? Here is the first news story from the day after protester is shot and killed in downtown. Omaha last night with the shooter in police custody as the investigation is ongoing senior reporter Jake was a cousy is live with the latest. John More than one hundred people are out here supporting James Skirl Lock. Let me go ahead and step out of the shot. As you can see just eighteen hours ago he was killed less than half a block away where at Thirteenth Harney here. Chance to support him as well as is. Violence especially after so much happened last night right here in the old market. For James Reds? No No justice. No peace. That's legit. Right there. No justice no p fighting back tears diamond Davis fights to keep his name known her friend James Scurr lock the twenty two year old was shot and killed outside the Gatsby bar formerly known as the high that twelve and Harney, last night I everybody to know just keep his name while i. Don't let his name. I said. He pretty cool kid if you get to know. Hundreds of people protesting in the area and many witnessed. The shooting was recorded by several people in videos like this one have been circulating since last night and social media. Police haven't said much as to what happened, but the shooter is not on the streets and charges would have to come from the county attorney the Police Department did detain. Somebody who fired that weapon that individual remains in Omaha police customers jake shooter has not been identified by police but many are talking about who he is is racist. He's a known homophobic. He's a known big at. This is not the first time that's happened. He's been the news several times. And I hope he's held accountable for what he's done. It's not okay. It's not acceptable. I'm not going to speculate as to the the. The content of the character of this individual. I think that will come out and police investigations over time and I think we need to wait for that Davis says screw lock was peacefully protesting like everyone else when he saw a man goes important. Is No peace. No justice, no peace. No justice no peace. Now hear how they set up. He was a white supremacist right that this guy has an. On Thirteenth Street here maybe offer diamond just a few minutes ago and let them know that the alleged shooter is actually in police custody, which was something that they had not known yet, and that he wasn't that person was never actually released. Gardner that they took into custody there now, they were setting up the idea that Jake Gardner is a bad man if you heard that. Because Jake Gardner apparently is a racist they said and so regardless here is the father of. James Spurlock who's the man who was shot by? Gardner good evening John father just wrapped up moments ago. He decided to go ahead and speak out here at the Malcolm X.. Center here in North Omaha. Now, it was a huge turnout, lots of family members and just emotion. That's the easiest way for me to describe it as raw motion is heard tears i. saw tears heard a few laughs. You know remembering him and family members are really hurting right now and wanting you know obviously answers and most of all wanting justice. Now Senator Justin Wayne was here he spoke on behalf of the family said he'd be representing them and they would not take any questions today they asked that. You just provide the family with the space that they need and also with closure for them. So really just lots of people here supporting this family and we'll have more for you coming up at ten o'clock tonight reporting. Against, supporting, the family. You know whatever happened their family didn't do. Whatever they're young man did if you did anything right So of course, there were more protests were visible but remained in the background as dozens of protesters showed up tonight at three different locations including for a protest downtown at the site where two other planned events were called off. 00:25:09 - 00:30:18 That's where three news now reporter Sydney grade joins us live with Lake City. John Good evening. So I'm not in the shot right now because I want you all to take a good look at what is happening right now police officers and protesters from earlier this evening have escorted those protesters rather over to the area near the hive were they've taken that wreath that Lock now, if you can see the woman and the biggest church. Walk down the street There is a large group of protesters. It's not just the two people you see how? They're going to. Protest continue once again in Omaha tonight, this time, not just for James Kerouac book for what's happening in Portland reporter Sydney Gray was at the gathering house more. Hey John did evening well, dozens of protesters gathered in the mid area. They tell me that the fight for justice locally and the country must continue until they begin to see a real change. Now, the group Pro Block as the one who led the event today it started at Turner Boulevard and Form Street organizers. Say they wanted to shine a light on the city's own racial injustices such as the murder of James? Skirl he's the twenty two year old black man no. Is Anybody missing something important here. The entire issue is supposed to be about police brutality, right? Jay Gardner the shooter is a businessman. He owns a bar. And whether or not he's a racist or not I don't know. Any may be. But being racist is reprehensible and disgusting, but I don't think it's illegal. And I don't think it's a capital crime. At least not last I checked it wasn't now the district attorney there of course is the one who determines whether or not charge right the police go ahead and do the investigation and gathered the evidence they bring it over to the DA and the DA decides whether or not to charge. Here is Mr Klein, the district attorney old market intentional report. Tonight County. Attorney explains his answer senior reporter Jake Gorski was there and brings us the latest strike. Would J first off those peaceful protesters here at five o'clock right outside the courthouse have since moved on their outside the courthouse and City Building County Attorney Don Klein says after reviewing all the surveillance video. GonNa, pause him for a second. Did you notice how he said those peaceful protesters they couldn't just say protesters they always have to all the media. It's like an order say the word peaceful because peaceful gives us sympathy L. and witnesses that he heard from including the shooter prosecutors all agreed it was self defense or the father of the victim says doesn't want violence, but he does want something to happen in court. Cell Phone and surveillance video showed the altercation that leads to the death of twenty two year old James Scurr lock late Saturday night. The shooter is identified as Jacob Gardner the owner of the HIVE and gatsby bars. It shows a scuffle with gardeners dad push a protester and his pushed back. Gardner backs up when approached and showed a gun when two people jumped on him, he fired two shots but didn't hit anyone and then skirl jumped on his back. That's been Gardner said he was being choked and shot him once and the clavicle his version is an IP felt that I felt that. Determines that pretty of getting serious bodily injury getting pummeled or choked out with this guy on top of me and I asked the guy to get off me you wouldn't off me Klein says he based decision off the evidence in the case and not on emotions which are still very high screw locks case. So now this Guy Klein goes out and The district attorney either he says, no charges self-defense. What do you think happens next? I don't have video that nobody got it. But the mob shore leasing if anybody got it, I couldn't find it. The mob showed up at Klein's house. No justice. No peace outside the District Attorney's House no justice. No peace. No justice. No peace. So here's a guy who spent his entire life. Prosecuting crime. He knows a crime when he sees it, he knows self defense when he sees it. And he says, we're not going to prosecute this guy because it was self defense. But. Then the mob shows about side is house and here's what happens. Next good evening I'm trying to Brazil wall though Douglas County Attorney Down Klein feels the shooting was justified and self defense he's taking a step let others take a look at the case senior reporter Dick was Kathy joins US live J.. Jetty right now, we have Senator Ernie Chambers addressing a group of citizens rallying outside of the City Hall and courthouse area talking about the importance of voting as well as standing up for their rights and they heard the community they heard the protests Klein says he will ask for a grand jury to review the killing of James. 00:30:18 - 00:35:02 KEROUAC. He will petitioned the District Court to convene a grand jury for a special prosecutor to examine the case late Saturday night James spurlock was shot and killed outside the hive and gatsby bars in the old market. Surveillance video shows the owner of the Bar J. Garner in a confrontation with protesters when he's backing up and flashes a gun. To people jump on him and he fires two shots. Then spurlock gets on his back. And Gardner shoots him killing him Gardner said it was in self defense and Klein agreed. Now, that there will be a grand jury squawks family wants more witnesses and videos to come forward. I certainly believe in transparency and I have no problem with any oversight about decisions that we've made I think the black community for goodness grand jury painful. I understand the pressures on everybody. From the judicial, board to the community, and when we raise our voice about an injustice that we can make a difference I think that was huge for our community to see I think that was huge when I say our community I'm not just talking North Omaha but the entire, Omaha community. To Munich and so they pressured Don Client, and the family says there. Are from justice, but on the right track, grand jury impaneled right. But that grant and in the grand jury jury gets empanelled and in the meantime there is this entire. Public Relations campaign going on. This is part of reason the crowd has outside today is protest the. Douglas County not putting charges on the killer of James Spurlock a twenty, two year old male who was shot at the corner of thirteenth and Harney on Saturday yesterday out of the protest I talked with skirl ox brother and his mother who told me a little bit about the guy they called you. He by Davis, he lived life to the full. Adventurous. Yes, that's the big heart. And use a Momma's boy emotions apparent never wants to feel this is the new reality for those closest James Skirt I've of. All Life. With that, kid his goal to tell you that anybody can tell you that Nicholas Harden was James Girl, ox brother, and so. James Skirt lock apparently was saint, James Saint. James was absolutely the best I guess Saint James. Could. Do. No wrong. But Saint James jumped a man who had just fired his weapon twice. And then the man fired his weapon at James. Sherlock. and. So it James Scarlett may have been. The greatest guy ever and pure is the wind driven snow but at least on this one night. It didn't work out so well. So here's what happens next. Panel the grand jury. Right. In the grand jury becomes a place for the case to be made not that this man. was in fear for his life. But that this man was a racist and therefore anything he did was suspect and because he was a racist, he was going to be indicted and so we don't know what went on in the grand jury jury for sure. But here is the report special prosecutor. Frederic Franklin said tonight it was new evidence that led the grand jury to make its decision to indict Jake Gardner. Most of that evidence he says came from Gardner himself three news. Now, reporter Rudolph Tonight has more on the charges, what they mean and what happens next. When they came from Gardner himself what that means is that that they found things on his facebook page or in his life. That were evidence that he was a racist and so therefore it because of his attitude. He. Doesn't have the right of self defense is what it appears like. On May thirtieth during night violent protesting regarding the death of George Floyd twenty two year old James Skirl was shot and killed by former old market bar owner jake. Gardner shortly after Douglas County Attorney Don Klein determined that Gardner acted in self defense and no charges were filed. Then after pushback from the public, a grand jury was called as well as a special prosecutor to look into the case client himself petition for the grand jury to review his decision, the investigation continued and about sixty people were interviewed by the Omaha. 00:35:02 - 00:40:04 Police Department the jury had the chance to look at new evidence and deliberated last. BA- grand jury at the point in time that they made their decision. It's also slam dunk. Much more information available to them Then what was had at the time that the initial decision was made special prosecutor Frederic Franklin said, most of the new evidence came from Gardner himself through his phone and facebook messages. There was evidence that was gathered and presented to the grand jury about activity. That Jim Gardner was engaged in. Prior to even coming in contact with James Go lock the grand jury routine Heen people indicted Gardner on four charges manslaughter the use of a firearm in the Commission of a felony attempted first degree assault and terroristic threats. Her restrict stem from the verbal exchange between Gardner and Scurr lock that night. Franklin also said the jury spent more time to liberate here's. The prosecutor I think the Monday after. James Locke was was shot and killed the press conference conducted by Don Klein and Brenda Beetle indicated that There wouldn't be charges forthcoming because there was a determination that the action by Jay Gardner was self defense within a few days there became a request for a grand jury to do the investigation. The Omaha Police Department did continue with their investigation. They interviewed approximately sixty people in conjunction with This homicide investigation, they received video clips from members of the public who were down any all market, the grand jury. At, the point in time that they made their decision. It's almost a slam dunk that they had much more information available to them. Than what was had at the time that the initial decision was made and of course, we have more information so because they had sixty days and all this other time. So you're a back in just a minute and we'll show you what happened with Jay Gardner you're not gonNA believe how this turned out Republican for PODCASTS. Again, my name is Brian Kelly enthusiast. Show the way this works listener supported broadcasting, and what that means. There's no big company behind it. It's your meet together. I do the work that you support the show. Simple I asked listeners three things from. People pray for me because I I need wisdom inside any balance and he'd energy and all the things we need to do this well. On top of the fulltime job in fulltime life and. I asked people share the show whatever device you're on right now probably has a share and subscribe button. Make sure you're subscribed in good and hit that share button and share it to. All of your social media, and even if you've done that before, it's good to do it once a week every. So often let people know you're listening to the show and that you've found something valuable here so that they will see that in join you in the last thing is visit the link to support show financially Patriot dot com slash republic keeper if you'd be so kind that would be awesome. If you can find the time to do that. So Jake Gardner Jacob Gardner is the bar owner here in Omaha who? was indicted then by the grand jury. And the indictment just happened a few days ago last week I believe and. So we saw the video tape there of the prosecutor and the then appointed a special prosecutor who impaneled a grand jury, and so this is video I believe this is from just yesterday. This. Is well I'll just play the report developing tonight a bar owner from Omaha Nebraska recently indicted in the shooting death of a black man related to protests. There was found dead in Hillsborough today Jacob Gardner faced four charges in the shooting death of twenty two year old James, scurr? Lock. Gardner shots scurr lock outside his bar as protests were happening nearby early reports of that incident show that bar was being vandalized at the time. A judge issued a warrant for gardeners arrest on Friday. Hillsborough police reported finding Gardner's body near a medical clinic off northeast. Ninth Street this afternoon in his attorney confirmed that Gardner died by suicide. So the District Attorney. Says that Jake Gardner? Acted in self defense. The videotapes submitted to the district attorney caused the district attorney to say. 00:40:05 - 00:45:03 That Jake Gardner. Acted in self defense. Then, the mob shows up and demands a grand jury impaneled. Now, the grand jury gets empanelled, and of course, in the environment where if you don't do it the mob once. They're gonNA come to your house. The grand jury. decided. That, they would charge him. And he decided. That, he couldn't get a trial. Apparently. He didn't WANNA come back and face justice and you know I don't know maybe he's guilty. Maybe. He's guilty maybe the grand jury got it. Right and the prosecutor got it. Wrong to begin with I don't know. I know that the mob drew drove this. Here's Jacob. Gardeners attorneys. Missing Martin. By one. Price. Only a are. had. Terrible. Is. Tolleson. Lavar. Laura. Yeah, and so obviously, it's a terrible tragedy when somebody commits suicide for any reason. And But I think it's especially tragic when they're driven to it. There was the case couple years ago I think of the young woman. Who? Was I. don't remember her name now and I just I wasn't thinking about it. So it's our looked it up but. I think he has probably remember the young woman who is encouraging her boyfriend to take his life. You know just go ahead and commit suicide, and then he did and she ended up prosecuted for it because she incited him to it and I, think that there. I. Don't know if there's anything criminal that's happened here. Maybe the only criminal thing that happened was that Jacob. Gardner. Shot. James spurlock when he shouldn't have maybe the grand jury. Got It. Right I don't know. What I know is that had the vigilante mob not shown up. To Don Klein's house. There wouldn't have been a grand jury. So I, guess if Jacob Gardner was in fact guilty. And we will never know. Because he didn't, there's not going to be a trial right and whatever evidence was given a grand jury to compel them to make the indictment is grand juries are secret and sealed, and so that evidence is not gonna come out now because there won't be a trial, maybe it'll be leaked. But. If in fact. Jacob Gardner was guilty of a crime and should have been punished. Then the actions, the mob. Ended up in a grand jury and an indictment that should have happened. That case the mob was I guess. Righteous in what they accomplished. But I would still say that even if. Even so You. Don't go to somebody's house. You could maybe just protest bigger louder longer at City Hall. There's got to be at some level. And this is part of why I open the show saying it's a civil war. You know there there's the old saying says, all's fair. In love and war. Translation there are no rules. When IT COMES TO CONFLICT The rule is survive. Because the other guy wants to kill you. I hate to be so. Blunt. But the other side in this conflict wants to kill us who are conservatives they want to kill us who are religious people. And they are doing it. And if you stand in the way, they're okay with you as long as you're the kind of religious person that says, I'll go ahead and adapt my religion to you. Know, I had an episode a lot long ago where I Read that right from the DNC platform. Do you know what the DNC? Platform says on religion. It says that we embrace a progressive view of religion. That is not discriminatory toward anyone. 00:45:04 - 00:50:15 Translation. Your views about homosexuality. In your church, they're not going to be allowed anymore. You're old fashioned. Marriage and divorce or not allow that. and. So the idea is that we are literally I don't think it's figurative. We are in a war. And I remember in the. Pamphlet Commonsense. Published way back at the Revolutionary War time by Thomas Paine home not a fan of honest as early but regardless. When That was passed way back then or when that was written way back. Then one of the things Thomas Paine said these are the Times that try men's souls right and he was putting in there put in there something about that if you're not. Willing to step up to the battle that maybe you're not worthy of the prize that will be achieved afterwards. And I would say that to all of you listening and to myself. At this point that it's time to prepare to do battle? And Battle is ideological and battle maybe physical depending on what's happening, and so I'm attempting here with the Republican broadcast to be in the ideological side of the fight. On the idea that if we can win the argument, we don't have to win the armed conflict. And I'm trying to help provide. Ammunition to our side. If you will in the conflict so that it doesn't become an armed conflict anymore than it's already become. But realistically, at this point, we are going to see I'll just give you the future here. So you know what we're GONNA see. There are several events coming up that are going to that are going to be Convulsive. The president is going to appoint. A Supreme Court justice probably. Amy conybeare. The Senate is going to hold hearings. Are Going to have a confirmation hearing and all of that before the election. Those are going to cost protests. The officers in the Jacob Blake? Shooting. will or will not be charged. That'll cost protests doesn't matter that they're charger not. Charged, it won't be enough if they're charged with a maximum crime, the trial won't be over yet. So it doesn't matter they're going to be protests. The Minneapolis officers are going to get their day in court and those. Verdicts are gonNA come out and whether or not that will happen before the election or not doesn't matter when those verdicts come out it doesn't matter what the verdicts are. There will be protests. So, there are already several events queued up. In the calendar of the left to disrupt America. and to try and create less trust. In how things work. So I'm going to grab a real quick break phones are open if you want to call in and if not great, we'll be right back and we'll go from there. So. Will Offer just a minute I'll be right back. Thanks. Welcome Max. Republic. Keeper podcast. Again, my name is Brian Kelly. Thanks for joining and. Sponsoring the show those you do and all that sort of stuff. So. Wrapped up today you know the been going forward as we think about this and think about what is your role In the coming conflict and first of all in the avoidance thereof. Right. And so I would say the the first and foremost. The thing we gotta do is we make sure that we're going to get Donald. Trump. reelected. And I mean that. I know that in the short term. It probably means more violence. In. The short term reelecting Donald Trump probably means more violence. That when he's reelected, the left is GONNA lose their mind even more. The good news is. When he's reelected. He won't have to be concerned about being reelected and what that means is that you're going to see these protests and ANTIFA violent leftist movements. Absolutely crushed. Crushed into oblivion. People. are going to be prosecuted into long-term jail sentences my noses in here. Sorry. Trying to avoid sneezing. One of those things, right So Once. The reelection happens I do think that trump is going to have the freedom to use all of the policing powers that they have. At their disposal to end this and what I'm hoping is that many of these arrests that have been happening in the last couple of months have been pulling some of the ringleaders of these things out of the situation, and hopefully, what that'll mean is that there will be less violence at the night of the election. 00:50:15 - 00:54:44 And we'll find out but I expect that on election night we are GonNa see lots and lots of violence when the trump landslide is announced And again, I, it is going to be a trump landslide and it's very, very easy. To, understand you know if you look at Donald Trump and I know that some of you who don't like Donald Trump thinks that he is the consummate liar. and. Perhaps that's true. But he's genuinely appears to be just having a great time on the campaign trail. and. What that means to me is that. The internals that they have. don't have them concerned. He doesn't look rattled. They don't appear to be behaving in panic mode he's speaking about the future. In a way that sounds like he really does believe he will be there. and. Joe Biden is more tentative in his approach. So on one quick little Vignette with you about. The way these things work the way people. Work Guess. In. and. I have had an opportunity to meet with. A public official locally a couple of. Times. Let's just say this this way I'm careful I don't WANNA reveal it is A local public official, a couple of times this public official has an important objective to accomplish in from a communication standpoint. In terms of getting the word out about certain things and. The audience for this show is not small. It's growing like crazy. The livestream doesn't have a big audience, but the podcast has a large audience in the livestream is only ten days old or two weeks old and it's growing. But. I met with this guy in the reside. Tell the story is the first time I met met with him. I handed him a business card for the podcast and I said you know I know you've really got story that you want told in your frustrated that you're not getting. The coverage. So why don't you come on the show and then you can we can repurpose that audio video into other things to, and you know we'll. We'll do in his yeah. That would that sounds great. Why don't you reach out to my team? and. Okay I'll do that. So I did. No response didn't the answer. So, then I encountered this individual at another event. And reintroduce myself. And he said. Yeah. He I remember. Weren't you going to get a hold of my communications person wherever it wasn't see I did and? I didn't hear back. All. Really. Well. Why don't you? Why don't you go ahead and just reach out to them again And I said, well, how about this? I'm handing you business car. How about you reach out. and. That resulted in. No. Response. And so the reason I tell the story is. This was a person who has a mon- Yana. Somebody else not me. Instead of a a right now, and I'll do it kind of an attitude and I can see the difference in results in people based on leadership style and I'm watching Joe Biden, and he is in the Montana. Not Me Camp. And I'm seeing Donald trump very much in the. Man of action, Champ And those are very different kinds of ways approaching the world and. I'll just leave you those thoughts. Tomorrow. I don't know I. Think we'RE GONNA dig into Seattle Anarchist Zone A. Little Bit. Not sure some of the things going on. So all these welcome to Jimmy topic suggestions. So on on the facebook messenger at the Republican Uber Dot. com or call the phone number eight, six, six, nine, hundred, eighty, three eleven and leave me your show ideas, topic ideas at Cetera. So thanks for your time and attention this morning please. Do visit the Website Republic keeper Dot Com and find time to sponsor the show if you'd be so kind. Thanks again have a great day and talk to you. Tomorrow.

Max Sparber was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1969 and adopted after 11 weeks by a middle class Jewish family in the St. Louis Park suburb of Minneapolis. As a child, he grew up a few blocks from where the Coen brothers had grown up, and was baby-sat by both Dan and Matthew Wilson, both later of the band Trip Shakespeare (as well as Semisonic, in the case of Dan Wilson). Sparber's family had some links to the world of entertainment - his mother is cousins with Judd Hirsch, while his father is a distant cousin of Academy Award-winning composer Lalo Schifrin.Sparber attended public schools throughout his childhood, but for a tw-year stint at a shirt-lived Jewish high school. He attended the University of Minnesota, from which he never attained his degree (at first in Jewish Studies, later in theater). In his early twenties, Sparber moved to Los Angeles. Quickly broke and jobless, he spent three months in Citrus House, a homeless shelter run by the Gay and Lesbian Community Services Center of Los Angeles, although Sparber is not gay. This experience would continue to inform his later work as a playwright, which has often addressed gay themes. Through the Teen Canteen, another program for homeless youth, Sparber became part of a theater program begun by actress Shelley Winters (started as the result of a promise by Winters to Marilyn Monroe). Sparber quickly became the program's writer, penning two plays, both of which were extensively workshopped but never produced. The program included as one of its organizers actress Clare Carey from the long-running television comedy Coach.After several years of political work as part of a thriving anarchist scene in Minneapolis, Sparber moved to Omaha, Nebraska, in the late Nineties. Here he became involved in the Blue Barn Theatre, a well-known regional theater that makes frequent use of Omaha talent such as 'Jill Anderson', Hughston Walkinshaw, and Tim Siragusa. Sparber pened a play for the Blue Barn titled "Minstrel Show; Or, the Lynching of William Brown, which retold the true story of a 1919 murder of an African American man in Omaha through the eyes of two itinerant blackface performers. Despite being denounced by state senator Ernie Chambers, the play was a hit, and has since been produced extensively throughout the United States, including two New York productions.Sparber has worked as a journalist and editor for the past decade, including having been the editor-in-chief of Omaha's newsweekly, The Reader, as well as reviewing theater for City Pages in Minneapolis for three years. He has occasionally made forays into writing and acting for film.

A Time for Burning Lutheran Film Associates; Contemporary Films to watch this video please visit Public Access America https://youtu.be/V5rokAeImLY A Time for Burning is a 1966 American documentary film which explores the attempts of the minister of Augustana Lutheran Church in Omaha, Nebraska, to persuade his all-white congregation to reach out to "negro" Lutherans in the city's north side. The film was directed by San Francisco filmmaker William C. Jersey and was nominated as Best Documentary Feature in the 1967 Academy Awards. The film was commissioned by the Lutheran Church in America. The film chronicles the relationship between the minister, the Rev. L. William Youngdahl, his white Lutheran parishioners and black Lutheran parishioners in the community. Youngdahl was the son of a former governor of Minnesota and federal judge, Luther Youngdahl. The film includes a meeting between Youngdahl and a black barber, Ernie Chambers, who tells the minister that his Jesus is "contaminated." At one point another Omaha Lutheran minister, the Rev. Walter E. Rowoldt, of Luther Memorial Lutheran Church, states that "This one lady said to me, pastor, she said, I want them to have everything I have, I want God to bless them as much as he blesses me, but, she says, pastor, I just can't be in the same room with them, it just bothers me." Rev. Rowoldt and other ministers also discuss the concern that blacks moving into white neighborhoods will decrease property values. The attempt to reach out does not succeed and Youngdahl resigns from his job as minister of the church. In 2005, A Time for Burning was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The black barber, Ernie Chambers, completed law school and was elected Senator to the Nebraska Legislature in 1970. By 2005 he had become the longest-serving state Senator in the history of Nebraska.

After hearing a fun news story about our billboard in Janesville, Wisconsin that says “Enjoy Life Now: There is no afterlife,” we dissect the oral arguments heard in the Supreme Court "Greece vs. Galloway” case dealing with prayer at city council. Then we talk with a legal legend, a true hero of freethought, the plucky Nebraska Senator Ernie Chambers (who has served since 1971), whose 1983 lawsuit resulted in the historic “Marsh vs. Chambers” decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.

This week Freethought Radio will talk with Nebraska's most famous state senator, Ernie Chambers, a nonreligious legislator and peoples' advocate, about what's happening with his lawsuit suing "God" over "acts of God." Also interviewed will be The Nation's columnist, Katha Pollitt, about her recent religion in politics piece, "Flocking to Faith." The Saddleback church "debate" will be briefly parsed.

This week's show features an interview with the irrepressible litigant Michael Newdow, whose latest challenges of "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, and of the motto "In God We Trust," will be argued before the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The show also debuts teasers of Mike's funny "solstice" rewrites of traditional Christmas carols, from his new "Solstice Classic" CD. Also appearing is the equally irrepressible Ernie Chambers, state senator from Nebraska, talking about his slightly tongue-in-cheek lawsuit against "God." Photo by Brent Nicastro.

Two timely guests: Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers talks about his slightly tongue-in-cheek lawsuit, Chambers v. God, commanding headlines this week! And schoolteacher Alan Ginsberg, who teaches third grade in Madison, Wis., talks about the complaint he and the Freedom From Religion Foundation have launched over the distribution of "Jesus Flyers" in Madison public schools.
