Brannon Howse: Aired December 19, 2011

Topic: Hear the audio clip of Vice President Joe Biden admitting in June of 2009 that the Obama Administration’s transition team considered a bank holiday when they entered office. These comments were made with John Corzine standing next to him. Corzine was the head of MF Global that cannot seem to find 1.2 Billion dollars. If things were so bad in 2008 that they were considering a bank holiday, what does that mean for 2012 as things are much worse in America and around the world with the financial crisis in Europe? Hear an audio clip of Trends Research Journal editor Gerald Celente as he predicts “The economy is going to crash. There is going to be chaos. Economic martial law will be called. Banks will close. And, chaos will ensure. The law is now in place for the military to come in and take over. Fascism has come to America.” Celente’s predication may or may not come to pass but many things do seem to now be in place for the decline of economic freedom and civil liberty. A bank holiday, which Biden admitted has been discussed, could include nationalizing banks and resetting the dollar against a basket of currencies would be would a great devaluing of the dollar and the savings of Americans. Topic: A protestant pastor and leader within the New Religious Right has reportedly written a 9,000 word document defending Newt Gingrich including his conversion to the Church of Rome. This pastor writes, “I personally believe that the Catholic faith offered him greater spiritual ‘structure.’…It is my opinion that this ‘structure’ helped to heighten his spiritual intuitions in very positive ways.” Brannon explains why he believes that this is absurd and that no Biblical Christian should believe that a man involved in the spiritual deception of the Church of Rome is, or could be, impacted in a positive way spiritually. Brannon discusses the specific church Newt attends and why a faith based on praying to Mary and one in which Christ is sacrificed each week through the sacraments should cause concern to Bible believing Christians and not be praised as a religion that has “helped heighten his spiritual intuitions in very positive ways.” Topic: A first time caller and listener called in to condemn Brannon for saying it is unbiblical to pray to Mary. The caller also tries to convince Brannon that the Bible instructs us to pray to Mary and that the Bible came from the Church of Rome. Brannon explains that nowhere in the Bible are Christians called to pray to Mary, there is only one mediator between God and man which is Christ Jesus. Brannon also explains to the caller that the Church of Rome did not give us the Bible but in fact killed 50 million Christians for preaching the Word of God and translating and distributing th Word of God to the people of the world.
