It's interesting in terms of the gay issue, gay marriage, Rick, that you also tied it to some of the threats coming from North Korea, and here's what you had to say.

At the same time, the Supreme Court is hearing these arguments on same-sex marriage. In Asia, a crazy man in possession of nuclear weapons, Kim Jong-un, is openly saying I have ordered our military to position our rockets on US targets in Hawaii, Japan, Guam, and the mainland of the United States.

I don't know if anybody's- I know they're not. They're just not putting it together. Hey, you got this happening over here, and you got this happening over here. Could the two be connected?

You think they are? Absolutely, Alan.

You think Kim Jong-un is looking at gay marriage becoming more acceptable in this country, and that's why he's making threats again?

No, no, not at all. No. What's happening, Alan, is that the divine shield that has protected America for over 300 years is being withdrawn because the Socialists, the far left the God-paters, the Christ-paters in America for the last 50 years have been shouting to God, get out of our country.

I honestly believe, Alan, that America has been protected by God for over 300 years because most of the time, our culture, not the government, our culture, the people were primarily a Christian people.

We were never perfect, never will be, but primarily it was a Christian nation.

If that's so important, why wasn't it specifically stated that way in our founding documents?

Because they never imagined that a country could ever become this wicked. Never in their wildest mindset.

Wicked because they're not all Christian? Do you think should it be only Christians who live here?

I wish.

Be advised that this show is not for children, the faint of heart, or the easily offended. The explicit tag is there for a reason.

This is cognitive dissonance. Every episode we blast anyone who gets in our way.

We bring critical thinking skepticism and irreverence to any topic that makes the news makes it big or makes us mad.

It's skeptical, it's political, and there is no welcome that this is episode 94 of cognitive dissonance, and Cecil, I will have you know, this is actually a very special episode.

This is the last episode where I'm going to let myself read the episode.

I told myself at 95 episodes.

95 if you don't know it, if I haven't memorized two lines, it's not going to happen.

What I'm going to do is I'm going to try to mess you up next week.
