We Are Also Called To Suffer For His Name's Sake

A Sunday Service on Suffering, Sacrifice, and Trusting God Through Trials

Bradlee Dean preaches a Sunday church service on Sons of Liberty Radio built around Philippians 1:29, arguing that believers are called not only to trust Christ but to suffer for his name, then opens the phone lines to callers from Georgia, California, and Texas.

Worship Opens A Service On Suffering

Bradlee Dean opens the Sunday broadcast of Sons of Liberty Radio with extended worship music, including his own recordings "At the Foot of the Cross," "Holy, Holy, Holy," and "Open My Eyes, Lord," greeting listeners as his "church family." Between songs he previews the day's theme, that Christians are called not only to believe in Jesus but also to suffer for his name's sake, citing Philippians 1:29. He invokes Chicago preacher D. L. Moody's line that scripture which does not teach a believer to die to self teaches nothing, and quotes Charles Spurgeon's observation that sorrow and trial form a university no carnal mind would choose to attend. Dean tells listeners he will open the phone lines at the end of the service for questions, testimonies, and comments, a practice he says draws out lessons God is working in people's lives in real time, before returning to one more song ahead of the main teaching.

Chastening And The Purpose Of Trials

Turning to Hebrews 12, Dean reads through the passage on chastening, arguing that affliction and trial are proof of belonging to the Lord rather than evidence of demonic attack, a claim he contrasts with what he calls modern hireling preaching. He walks through King David's line in Psalm 119, "In thy faithfulness thou hast afflicted me," and argues that children who receive no chastening are, in the language of Hebrews, "bastards and not sons." He draws a distinction between suffering that comes from sin, which he calls self-inflicted, and suffering God appoints for sanctification, referencing Hosea 2 and Hosea 13. Dean prays over the congregation, asking for the gifts of the Spirit including the word of knowledge, prophecy, discerning of spirits, and healing, then returns to Philippians 1:29 and 2 Corinthians 4, reading Paul's description of being troubled but not distressed, persecuted but not forsaken, as the model for a Christian's sufferage.

Losing Control And Learning Trust

Dean argues that believers often deceive themselves into thinking they trust God while actually staying in control, and that real trust only surfaces once control is stripped away. He rejects the popular saying that God will never give a person more than they can handle, calling it a lie that contradicts the martyrdom of eleven of the twelve disciples, tying the point to 2 Corinthians 1 on extremity being the Lord's opportunity. He illustrates the idea with two stories from his teenage years in Minnesota: a friend whose mother was shot and killed by a jealous ex-girlfriend's accomplices, and his own arrest for underage drinking after taking his mother's car, which landed him in detox for three days while his mother let the consequence stand rather than rescuing him. Dean contrasts that discipline with cases he has seen in ministry where parents or grandparents shielded children from consequences, calling such intervention the work of "enemies of the cross" that create dependency rather than godly correction.

Abraham, Isaac, And The Test Of Idols

Dean turns to Genesis 22, describing the test in which God asks Abraham to offer up Isaac, the long-promised son born to Abraham and Sarah in old age. He argues the episode shows God will not let any blessing, however dearly given, take the place reserved for him on the throne of the heart, and that an angel's command to withhold the knife proved Abraham's obedience rather than ending in sacrifice. He criticizes what he calls the modern prosperity movement for singing songs like "Jehovah Jireh" while skipping the trial that produced them, and lists other idols listeners might carry, including spouses, children, ministries, homes, and businesses. Quoting Exodus 20 and Matthew 6:33, he argues that seeking God's kingdom first is the only safe path to receiving anything else. He also invokes A. W. Tozer's line that the cross is where a person's will and God's will meet and one of them must die, applying it to anyone currently in trial.

Giving Away A Life To Find It

Dean recounts a two-year period alone in a basement praying and studying scripture after what he describes as a season of being broken down, out of which grew the touring ministry team he later led into high schools, colleges, and prisons across the country. He contrasts that costly obedience with what he calls false charity, describing encounters in North Minneapolis and at a Fuddruckers in Washington, D.C., where he weighs giving money to men panhandling near liquor stores against one encounter buying a stranded young man lunch who, he says, was later seen thanking God with his hands raised. Dean argues that feeding able-bodied men who decline available work enables sin rather than helping them, citing 2 Thessalonians 3 on working to eat, while genuine giving to the truly needy brings a joy that makes his own hardships feel small by comparison, a theme he returns to through the segment.

Callers Share Testimonies To Close

With about twenty minutes left, Dean opens the phone lines, reading out the Sons of Liberty donation address in Annandale, Minnesota, and the website sonsoflibertymedia.com. Barbara, calling from Georgia, describes surviving two medical emergencies, including a cardiac arrest in an ambulance, crediting her recovery to God's mercy and citing Romans 8:18. Todd, calling from Long Beach, California, describes an audible warning he says kept him from joining a church later engulfed in scandal, and cautions listeners to be wary of pastors he considers gluttonous. Erin, calling from Texas, describes an ongoing struggle with obsessive thoughts following her husband's death and an affair she has repented of, and Dean counsels her to immerse herself in scripture rather than blame the struggle entirely on Satan, closing with James 1:12 on enduring temptation. He ends the service promoting merchandise, booking information, and the Sunday 9 a.m. Central broadcast before signing off.

Forefathers Face-off With Modern-Day Politicians - 2nd Amendment

Forefathers Face Off With Modern Politicians: Jihad Clips, Voter Fraud Claims, and Gun-Control History

Bradlee Dean traces the Barbary Wars and plays clips of Somali-language political ads, a Minnesota jihad broadcast, and a New York street confrontation before turning to the Second Amendment, running through twentieth-century gun-control regimes and taking calls from Michigan and West Virginia.

Jefferson and the Barbary Pirates

Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast with an extended history lesson on the Barbary Wars, describing how Muslim pirates from Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers, and Morocco terrorized American shipping in the late eighteenth century and held captured sailors for ransom. He recounts how Thomas Jefferson, serving as America's minister to France and later as president, opposed Congress's practice of paying tribute, and how the Dey of Algiers and the Pasha of Tripoli escalated their demands until Jefferson refused to pay and war followed. Dean explains that the Marine Hymn's reference to "the shores of Tripoli" commemorates the resulting campaign, which he says taught Barbary raiders to leave American ships alone. He frames the lesson as a 232-year history of American resistance to Islam that he argues public schools no longer teach, setting up the broadcast's recurring theme that the United States again faces the same enemy, now operating from within rather than from the sea.

Ilhan Omar and the Oregon Clip

After the theme music, Dean welcomes listeners to the Sons of Liberty and turns to Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, recalling a St. Cloud town hall he attended where, he says, half the fifty people present were homosexuals and half were Muslims. He argues Omar's Somali family fled a government they themselves had oppressed rather than persecution, and that she holds office unconstitutionally because, in his reading, the nation's First Amendment protects only Christian sects. He plays a Somali-language campaign clip from Oregon, pointing out an upside-down flag behind the candidate and arguing she was installed rather than elected. Naming her as Nafisa Fai, Dean claims the speech is an appeal to fellow Muslims aimed at building toward twenty-five percent of the population so a call for jihad becomes viable, and insists voter fraud, not genuine support, explains how such candidates reach office despite having too few co-religionists to win outright.

Minnesota Jihad Calls and Voter Fraud

Returning from break, Dean widens the Minnesota argument, naming Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, Governor Tim Walz, and Attorney General Keith Ellison as overseeing what he calls fraudulent distribution of state and federal funds to Muslim organizations, and asking why none have faced indictment. He credits a prior broadcast with journalist Alex Newman and Ron Branstner for tying the pattern to a United Nations agenda, and quotes a rabbi, David Touitou, as saying Muslims are used to sweep away political opposition in Europe. Dean plays a Somali-language television clip he says calls for violent jihad among Minnesota's roughly 180,000 Somali residents against the state's 5.9 million people, and references a recently disrupted plot against the Mall of America as proof the threat is real. He argues the true architects are Zionist rather than Muslim, invoking the Rothschild family and reading Deuteronomy 28 and Proverbs 7:2 to frame the unfolding events as divine judgment on national disobedience.

New York Confrontations and El-Sayed's Rally

Dean shifts to New York City, playing video of a young man, Caden Pauli, confronting Muslim taxi drivers whose cars block a street while legally parked vehicles nearby are ticketed; in the clip a bystander threatens to shoot those filming. After commercial breaks, Dean turns to Michigan gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed, replaying a clip in which El-Sayed argues the Second Amendment's original intent covered only muskets and has been fulfilled by institutions like the Coast Guard. Dean calls the argument a lie, reads colonial-era oath requirements from Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Vermont that bound officeholders to Christian belief, and argues the Constitution's ban on religious tests never extended to non-Christian faiths. He plays footage of a protester confronting El-Sayed over alleged Muslim Brotherhood ties, dismissing the crowd's answering chant of "USA, USA" as the work of paid actors, a tactic he says also inflated support for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Calls From Michigan and West Virginia

Opening the phone lines, Dean takes a call from Craig in Michigan, who argues anger over the war with Iran and what he calls Israeli actions is driving support for El-Sayed, and criticizes prosperity-gospel preachers who sell either rapture or doomsday food supplies instead of scripture; Dean agrees, citing John 17:15 against withdrawing from the world. A caller named Ken in West Virginia recalls COVID-era firings and mistreatment despite widespread gun ownership, asking why armed citizens tolerated it; Dean responds by recounting advice from Gun Owners of America's Larry Pratt that slogans about dying with guns in hand mean little without action, and accuses George Soros of buying 232 radio stations. Between calls, Dean cites figures he says show roughly 17.4 million guns sold in 2022, 1.4 million monthly in 2023, 15.5 million in 2025, and 10.6 million through early 2026, arguing the surge reflects distrust of politicians rather than any case for new restrictions.

Forefathers on Gun Control and the Militia

In the closing hour, Dean runs through twentieth-century gun-control regimes, citing Germany after 1938, the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, Uganda under Idi Amin, and Cambodia under Pol Pot, and arguing each disarmed its people before mass killing followed. He reads quotations attributed to George Washington, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and George Mason describing an armed citizenry as the guarantee of liberty rather than a hunting tool, and repeats Mason's definition of the militia as the whole body of the people rather than any government agency. Dean argues modern anti-gun mayors and legislators are themselves guilty of fraud, trafficking, and other crimes, and should be held accountable before being trusted to disarm anyone else. He closes urging listeners to see themselves as that militia, promotes Sunday church service at nine a.m. Central on sonsoflibertymedia.com, and signs off until the next broadcast.

Why Gun Sales Are Skyrocketing?

Why Gun Sales Are Skyrocketing: Jihad Clips, a Supreme Court Ruling, and Calls on Judgment and Grand Juries

Bradlee Dean opens with soaring gun-sale numbers and clips of Somali-language political ads and jihad calls from Minnesota and New York, then takes calls from Michigan and Texas on apathy, Ilhan Omar, and grand-jury efforts against corrupt officials.

Eighteen Years of 9/11 Misdirection

Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast arguing that for eighteen years the United States government and mainstream media insisted Muslims attacked America on September 11, 2001, yet now cover for Muslim crimes against Americans. He plays an archival clip of George W. Bush declaring the World Trade Center under attack and warning that nations are either with America or with the terrorists. Dean draws a historical parallel, recalling King George III's use of Hessian mercenaries against the colonists and Adolf Hitler's wartime alliance with Muslim leaders, arguing history is repeating itself through what he calls ties between the Bush family and the Third Reich. He then describes a shared playbook running since 2005 between what he calls the sodomite agenda and the Muslim agenda, both he says play the victim, hurl labels like racist and bigot, and push into public schools with groups like the ACLU, aiming, he argues, at total domination of American law.

Gun Sales Skyrocket in the Face of Invasion

After the theme music, Bradlee Dean greets listeners as 'friends, as well as a few enemies' and introduces himself as yours truly, Mr. Bradlee Dean. He returns to a point from the previous day's show, saying gun sales are skyrocketing while politicians open the borders, and mocks Americans who post memes daring enemies to attack while doing nothing to address the politicians who let them in. Dean cites figures he says show 17.4 million guns sold in 2022, 1.4 million monthly in 2023, roughly 15.5 million firearms sold in 2025, and about 10.6 million through three quarters of 2026. He argues the problem is not firearms but corrupt politicians who have committed treason, saying Americans are distracted by Somali immigrants rather than confronting the officials who allowed them in, and warns that stadiums filling for what he calls the taking of eighty million lives through abortion will bring a just judgment from God upon the nation.

Clips From Minnesota and New York

Dean plays a series of video clips he says document the threat at home, starting with a Minnesota election advertisement spoken entirely in Somali, which he frames alongside a commentator's complaint that citizenship requires English and that a foreign-language get-out-the-vote ad signals a serious problem. He plays further Somali-language audio he describes as a public call to jihad, arguing Minnesota politicians and federal agencies have allowed Muslim populations to colonize districts and build toward violence against Americans. Turning to New York, he plays a clip involving a young man named Caden Poti confronted by a Muslim who threatens to shoot him, followed by audio of an Islamic call to prayer in the city with reporter commentary, and claims Muslim police officers ticket everyone except Muslims. Dean ties the clips to Deuteronomy 28, verses 43, 51, 63, and 68, telling listeners New York and the country at large have invited domination by tolerating what their representatives have allowed.

A Supreme Court Ruling and Craig's Call

After a break featuring testimonials, including one from a listener named Carl in Delano, Minnesota, Dean criticizes a Supreme Court ruling he says requires federal prisons to provide transgender inmates hormones, wigs, and makeup at taxpayer expense, calling it judicial activism rather than the application of God's law. He argues Americans remain a silent, apathetic majority that tolerates corruption rather than holding representatives accountable. He then takes a call from Craig in Michigan, who says the silent majority has been conditioned to believe fighting back only increases divine judgment, especially regarding Israel, which Craig calls a Rothschild gangster state. Dean agrees, tying the apathy to Proverbs 7:2 on keeping commandments, and argues that politicians are currently using Ilhan Omar to frighten Americans into voting Republican while Zionist interests, he claims, control ninety-eight percent of that party through the Muslims. Craig agrees there is no voting a way out of the situation, and the two commiserate before Dean thanks him and repeats the call-in number.

Heckling El-Sayed and Quoting the Founders

Dean plays video of a heckler confronting Abdul El-Sayed, a candidate he says is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, at a campaign event where supporters respond by chanting 'USA, USA' rather than heeding the warning, which Dean calls evidence the Lord destroys a people for lack of knowledge. He accuses the gathered crowd of being paid actors using a Saul Alinsky tactic to look larger than they are, invoking past claims against Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Recorded segments quote Patrick Henry on a corrupted public conscience being incompatible with freedom and John Hancock on resistance to tyranny as a Christian duty, followed by a testimonial from Perry Atkinson of Dove Radio and TV calling Dean's broadcast one of the nation's top platforms for the truth of Christ. Dean reads Luke 13:34 and Luke 19:41, where Jesus weeps over Jerusalem, applying the passage to America's refusal to heed warning, and references a recently disrupted jihad plot against the Mall of America as proof judgment is near.

Bob's Grand Jury Call and Closing Fruit

Taking a call from Bob in Texas, Dean hears an update on a grassroots legal effort naming a woman called Susan Miller, who Bob says is pursuing a quarter-million-dollar lawsuit against officials in Van Zandt County who are allegedly dodging service of the suit. Bob argues grand juries, not drawn-out constitutional clauses, offer the fastest path to accountability, citing United States versus Williams and the authority of citizen grand juries over prosecutors who cannot judge their own cases. Dean asks Bob to connect him with Miller for a future interview and thanks him for the update. Closing the broadcast, Dean contrasts popular guests with people actually fighting and winning in what he calls the culture war, quotes Isaiah 58:12 on repairers of the breach, and tells listeners to judge him only by his fruit, citing Matthew 7:16 and 2 Corinthians 11. He again promotes the Sunday 9 a.m. church service at sonsoflibertymedia.com, notes the ministry takes no sponsors, and signs off until the next show.

Clear and Present Danger Within: CAIR, the UN Agenda, and the Second Amendment with Alex Newman

Bradlee Dean dissects a letter he received from CAIR Minnesota's Jaylani Hussein, plays clips of Barack Obama and Abdul El-Sayed, and interviews journalist Alex Newman of Liberty Sentinel about the United Nations' global agenda before taking a caller on sanctuary-city treason and the Second Amendment.

CAIR Letter and the Language of Transformation

Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast reading aloud a letter he says arrived unsolicited in his personal email from Jaylani Hussein, identified as an operative of the Council on American-Islamic Relations who also sits on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's Council on Law Enforcement. Dean quotes Hussein's letter at length, including its citation of writer Michelle Alexander's call for a revolution of values and radical change to the basic structure of our society, and plays an archival clip of Barack Obama declaring, five days before his inauguration, that he intended to fundamentally transform the United States of America. Dean argues the two statements echo each other and accuses Hussein of using police-reform language to mask a broader assault on American law. He frames CAIR as a terror-tied organization operating in plain sight, and uses the letter as evidence that elected officials have allowed hostile groups access to positions of civic authority.

Sanctuary Cities and an Unnamed Clip

After the theme music and a run of advertisements, Dean returns to call himself a boat rocker and welcomes listeners to Sons of Liberty, plugging the show's call-in number and sonsoflibertyradio.com. He argues that mayors across the country have created so-called sanctuary cities with no basis in the Constitution, calling the practice treason under Article III, Section 3, and describing a pattern in which politicians first allow asylum-seekers in, then watch them turn on the public, and finally install them into positions of authority over Americans. He plays an audio clip of an Oregon politician speaking in a language he does not translate, pointing to an American flag hanging upside down behind her and arguing she was installed rather than elected by ordinary voters. Dean then introduces a video clip of Abdul El-Sayed discussing the Second Amendment and originalism, setting up an argument he returns to later in the broadcast after his interview with Alex Newman.

Alex Newman on the UN's Global Agenda

Dean welcomes recurring guest Alex Newman, a journalist with Liberty Sentinel Media, for an interview on the United Nations agenda he says is driving global events. Newman describes an upcoming 30x30 conservation summit in Armenia and a climate summit in Turkey, both aimed, he says, at locking up land and restricting a global carbon budget for Western nations while favoring the developing world. He argues the UN's plan rests on three legs, political, economic through bodies like the World Economic Forum, and spiritual, and claims it is already visible at events like Burning Man in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, where he says billionaires including Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg, along with NATO's former Supreme Allied Commander Wesley Clark, take part in what he calls pagan rituals. Newman also references the Bohemian Grove gathering, describing an effigy burned before a stone owl, and urges listeners to resist what he calls a demonic, globalist project before closing with his website, libertysentinel.org.

A Testimonial and a Return to the Militia

A recorded testimonial from Perry Atkinson, president and general manager of Dove Radio and TV, praises Dean as a longtime friend of the ministry whose broadcast is one of the country's top platforms for spreading what Atkinson calls the truth of Christ. Returning to the studio, Dean plays more of the Abdul El-Sayed clip, in which El-Sayed argues the Second Amendment, understood through originalism, only protected muskets and that the amendment's purpose was fulfilled by institutions like the Coast Guard. Dean rejects the argument, citing current gun-sales figures he places near 393 million firearms in American hands, and reads a string of founding-era definitions of militia from George Mason, James Madison, Richard Henry Lee, and Elbridge Gerry, arguing each describes the whole body of armed citizens rather than any government agency, and that it falls to that militia, not federal agencies, to stop what he calls a domestic insurrection already underway through recent plots in Minnesota.

Religious Tests and a Christian Founding

Dean turns to El-Sayed's claim that Article VI's bar on religious tests for office applies to any candidate regardless of faith, countering with quotations he attributes to early American sources describing the nation's governments as resting on the Christian religion and extending First Amendment protection only among all sects and denominations of Christians. He reads oath requirements from the Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Vermont constitutions requiring officeholders to affirm belief in God and the divinity of scripture, arguing these prove the founders never intended protection to extend to what he calls doctrines antithetical to the Constitution. He calls El-Sayed a smug joker who manipulates a document most Americans have never read, and mocks a meme claiming Wales is the first nation to remove lying politicians, countering that Article II, Section 4 and Article I, Section 3 have allowed removal and prosecution of American officials for the same conduct for two hundred fifty years.

Bob's Call and a Warning on Treason

Taking a call from a listener identified as Bob in Texas, Dean hears him describe sharing Dean's sanctuary-city material with grand-jury organizers through an email address he gives on air, and recommending a YouTube documentary on America's Christian founding that he says he has watched repeatedly. Dean thanks Bob and uses the call to restate his central argument of the hour, that mayors and governors who have allowed sanctuary cities and unchecked immigration have committed treason under Article III, Section 3, codified in federal law, a crime he says the Constitution punishes with death. He urges listeners to verify the citation themselves rather than take his word for it, framing the penalty as a necessary deterrent against further erosion of the rule of law. Dean closes the broadcast promising a deeper examination of the Second Amendment the following day and signs off until the next show.

Americans Are Incrementally Being Dispossessed By Illegals

Minnesota Fraud, Voter Fraud, and Americans Incrementally Dispossessed by Illegals with Scott Jensen

In a broadcast mixing scripture, political commentary, and a live interview, Bradlee Dean discusses Minnesota's fraud scandals with state auditor candidate Scott Jensen, then turns to Deuteronomy's curses and claims about immigration, foreign-born politicians, and the Second Amendment.

Law, Grace, and a Nation in a Pickle

Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast with a teaching on law and grace, reading Romans 3:20 and John 16:8 to explain that the law exposes sin before it ever helps a sinner, and that conviction by the Holy Spirit precedes godly repentance. He turns from doctrine to politics, telling listeners they are being sold out by representatives on both sides of the aisle and arguing the political left is simply the unpunished fruit of a right that will not do its job. Quoting George Orwell on language built to make lies sound truthful and historian Will Durant on a united minority defeating a divided majority, Dean argues Minnesota's two-party system keeps voters distracted from the Constitution itself. He plays a recorded clip of a woman testifying that Minnesota whistleblowers who exposed fraud had their homes and cars photographed, their phones monitored, and were told to stay quiet or be called racists, setting up the hour's interview with Scott Jensen.

Scott Jensen on Fraud and Accountability

Bradlee Dean welcomes Dr. Scott Jensen, a former state senator now running for Minnesota state auditor, to address the fraud dominating headlines. Jensen says fraud has overwhelmed state governance, calling it a willingness to lie, cheat, and steal from residents who depend on services like personal care attendants. He criticizes the "blame game," noting Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan spent years calling herself the second most important person in Minnesota before disclaiming responsibility, while Governor Tim Walz and Senator Amy Klobuchar now concede more should have been done. Jensen tells Dean that auditing alone will not fix anything; fraudsters who took millions, not thousands, must be indicted and prosecuted or the behavior will continue unchecked. Dean raises a billboard he placed on Highway 55 naming the fraud, and Jensen pushes back on an opponent's claim that federal policy caused Minnesota's fraud, calling it an evasion. On voter fraud, Jensen argues election integrity used to be a bipartisan concern and that voter identification should not be controversial. He closes citing Luke 12:48 on responsibility for what is given.

Scripture, Endorsements, and a Prayer for Allies

Returning from the break, Dean reads two short theological quotations, Puritan preacher John Owen on the impossibility of self-generated conversion and theologian Francis Turretin on effectual calling, before playing a recorded testimonial from Perry Atkinson, president and general manager of Dove Radio and TV, who calls Sons of Liberty one of the top platforms in the country for spreading the truth of Christ. Dean follows with quotations from Patrick Henry on a corrupted public conscience being incompatible with freedom and from John Hancock on resistance to tyranny as a Christian duty. He then prays at length for an affiliate station, weag1063.com, run by a friend he names as Dave Kryger, asking that no weapon formed against the ministry prosper and citing Psalm 18, Exodus 23, and 1 Timothy 6:12. Dean frames being under attack as confirmation of being in God's will, thanking listeners for supporting affiliates that he says are rare in their willingness to take risks for the broader ministry.

A School Photo and the Curses of Deuteronomy

Dean displays two class photos from Edsel Ford High School in Dearborn, Michigan, fifteen years apart, to argue that Americans are being incrementally dispossessed by immigration he blames on "sellout scoundrel politicians" rather than on the newcomers themselves. He claims Zionist interests behind Israel use Muslim immigrants as what he calls a broom to sweep away opposition, then turns to Deuteronomy 28, reading from verse 15 through verse 49 as moral law he says still applies under grace. He reads warnings that a foreign nation would eat the fruit of the land, that strangers would rise above the native-born, and that an unintelligible foreign tongue would arrive from far away, tying each verse to a 2016 omnibus bill he says sent American tax dollars to hostile nations and to Minnesota's ongoing fraud scandals involving Governor Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, Ilhan Omar, and Peggy Flanagan. Dean argues these curses describe present-day America and that only national repentance, not politics, can reverse them.

A Clip From Oregon and More Curses

Dean plays a clip of Nafissa Fai, an Oregon politician he says was installed rather than elected, speaking in a language he does not translate, and points out an American flag hanging upside down behind her; he notes Oregon's governor is a lesbian and accuses Fai of trying to incite domestic insurrection among Muslim immigrants with what he calls jihadist sympathies. He returns to Deuteronomy 28, reading verses 50 through 58 on a fierce nation granting no favor to the old or young and on cities besieged until their walls fall, linking the passage to a recently disrupted plot against the Mall of America and to an eighteen-year-old he says opened fire with an AR-15 on Highway 100. Dean insists he is not condemning Muslims who assimilate, only those he calls radicals, and tells listeners the politicians who brought them in have committed treason, a crime he notes carries a federal death penalty, before promising a continuation of the topic.

El-Sayed, the Second Amendment, and Judgment

In the closing segment, Dean turns to Abdul El-Sayed, a political figure he claims has no constitutional standing under Article 2, Section 1's natural-born-citizen clause, reading a quotation in which El-Sayed argues the Second Amendment was written only for muskets. Dean reads from a transcript of the 1789 joint resolution of Congress that produced the Bill of Rights, explaining that the "well-regulated militia" language refers to the citizenry itself under Article 1, Section 8, and that the right to keep and bear arms "shall not be infringed." He adds a 1788 quotation from Samuel Adams on peaceable citizens keeping their own arms, and repeats his claim that Zionist interests use Muslim immigrants to attack American gun rights. Dean closes by naming a new suspect, a Somali man charged with threatening to bomb the Mall of America, and tells listeners America is under judgment because it tolerates what previous generations never would, ending the broadcast without taking a promised caller.

Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean

What Americans Are Exposed to Today Is Not at All What the Law Permits

In a solo broadcast, Bradlee Dean argues that pop music, Hollywood film, and public figures have normalized what American law once forbade, tracing the shift from the 1930 Motion Picture Production Code to today's culture through personal stories, celebrity hypocrisy, and scripture.

Music, Hypocrisy, and the Pop-Culture Agenda

Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast with Socrates's line about controlling a nation through its music, then turns a hard eye on contemporary pop culture. He criticizes Katy Perry's televised crucifixion imagery, Beyoncé's performance of "Naughty Girl," and Madonna's witch-costumed stage appearance, arguing each promotes what he calls abomination rather than entertainment. Dean asks whether musicians are simply performing or whether, as MTV co-founder Bob Pittman, shock artist Marilyn Manson, and guitarist Tom Morello have each said in quotes he reads aloud, music is deliberately used to seed political messages before legislation follows, citing gun control, marijuana, and homosexual marriage as examples. He reads a neurologist's remark that no brain science matches a song's power over mood, reinforcing his claim that entertainment precedes policy. He frames the segment as an extension of the previous day's show and promises to return to the day's main topic, the gap between what the law permits and what Americans now tolerate, after a break.

A Mother's Cigarettes and the Marlboro Men

Dean recalls his own mother's two-pack-a-day smoking habit, admitting she died from it in 2011, and uses her story to introduce a string of Marlboro and Winston cigarette models who died from smoking-related illness, naming Wayne McLaren, David Miller Jr., Janet Sackman, David Goerlitz, and Will Thornbury. He quotes Galatians on reaping what is sown and says a Winston actor once admitted his job was to get half a million kids smoking by 1995. Dean argues the tobacco industry deliberately marketed appealing brand names like Marlboro and Camel while hiding the reality shown on European cigarette packaging, autopsy photographs of diseased lungs. He notes R. J. Reynolds, the Camel founder, died of pancreatic cancer in 1918 after a lifetime of chewing tobacco. The segment closes with Dean recounting his mother telling him never to smoke moments after coughing to catch her breath, calling it a hypocrisy he says mirrors the broader culture.

Reprobates in High Places

Dean widens his hypocrisy theme to public figures, citing author Barbara De Angelis's five marriages and divorces despite writing relationship-advice books, then recalling President Bill Clinton appointing Whoopi Goldberg, who Dean says had multiple abortions, to a federal commission on teen pregnancy. He retells the story of Arkansas residents posting a roadside sign beneath the state's welcome marker identifying Clinton, under Megan's Law, as a registered sex offender, calling it an example of citizens exposing leaders politicians elevate. Dean argues scripture explains the pattern, citing 1 Kings on corrupt rulers choosing the lowest sort of advisers to accelerate moral decline, and ties the thread back to his opening point that a society is judged by what it tolerates. He repeats the call-in number throughout, inviting listener response, before a prerecorded promotional spot invites listeners to Sunday service and to support the ministry financially.

Isaiah's Warning and Celebrity Christians

Reading Isaiah 5:20's warning against those who call evil good and good evil, Dean argues it describes America precisely, having confused darkness for light and bitter for sweet. He revisits Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera's MTV-era professions of Christianity alongside sexualized performances, calling them fruit that exposes false profession, and recounts Madonna telling Larry King her own children were barred from watching material she refused to tone down. He turns to Bill Gates, claiming his children never received the vaccines Gates promoted during the pandemic, and to R. Kelly, recalling a 2002 indictment on twenty-one counts of child pornography despite continued industry promotion. Dean cites Psalm 97 on hating what God hates, arguing the whole pattern traces to the 1960s, when he says the culture told God no, leaving people confused about His existence and living under judgment rather than blessing.

Hollywoodland, the Code, and the Passion

Dean shifts to film history, tracing Hollywood's origin to a Christian settlement called Hollywoodland, where director Cecil B. DeMille, later known for The Ten Commandments, settled in the early 1900s on land given away for churches. He explains the Motion Picture Production Code, adopted in 1930 and enforced from 1934 until abandoned in 1968, which barred content that lowered moral standards or sided sympathy with crime. Dean contrasts that era with a recent film called Breeder, about trafficked girls bred for ritual sacrifice, and recalls AMC theaters posting content warnings for The Passion of the Christ, rated R for violence, while giving no warning to sexually explicit films like Monster, Calendar Girls, and 21 Grams playing the same week. He cites box-office figures showing G-rated films outearn R-rated releases on average, arguing the industry's choices are about demoralizing audiences rather than profit, and quotes Samuel Adams on a virtuous people's liberty.

Code Provisions and a Call to Repent

In the closing segment, Dean itemizes specific restrictions once written into the Motion Picture Production Code: bans on nudity and suggestive dancing, prohibitions on depicting illegal drug use and glamorizing alcohol, rules against showing crime methods such as safecracking or arson, and bans on profanity, interracial marriage portrayals, and mockery of clergy or religion. He argues each restriction has been abandoned since 1968 and ties the breakdown to America's broader turn from God, reading Exodus 20 on taking the Lord's name in vain and warning that actors who curse God on screen will answer for it. He closes with Benjamin Franklin's proposed Great Seal motto, "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God," and its imagery of Moses parting the Red Sea, declines a last-minute caller because time has run out, and signs off promising to return to the topic.

Hollywood's Infatuation With Witchcraft and the Occult

In a solo broadcast, Bradlee Dean argues that Hollywood and Disney have embraced witchcraft and the occult at the expense of children, walking through specific films, Hollywood history, and scripture on separation from the world before taking calls from listeners Margie and Chris.

Movie Ratings and Hollywood's Hypocrisy

Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast by recalling a trip to see The Passion of the Christ in Kansas City, where a theater posted a warning sign urging parents to research the film's Aramaic dialogue and graphic brutality before bringing children. He contrasts that caution with three other films showing in the same theater at the time, Monster, Calendar Girls, and 21 Grams, each flagged for violence, nudity, or drug content yet carrying no warning sign at all. Dean cites box-office figures claiming G-rated films average far higher profits than R-rated releases, arguing studios push adult content anyway because, as he puts it, entertaining people lets you control them. He traces the claim to a saying attributed to Caesar about bread and spectacle, and notes that Hollywood's 1946 production code once banned words like "lousy" and required screen criminals to be punished before the credits rolled. A clip of aggressive music follows before the formal show segment begins.

Opening the Show and Naming the Topic

After the Sons of Liberty's station identification, Bradlee Dean welcomes "friends as well as a few enemies" to the program and explains that the harder-edged AI-generated music bumpers heard at the top of the hour were made at listener request by his producer, Don, from BBS News. He tells the audience that today's subject is Hollywood and Disney's shared infatuation with witchcraft and the occult, tracing it back to a history he gives of Hollywood originally being called Hollywoodland and the property having been donated as free land for church parishes. Dean argues the churches went derelict in vetting entertainment by around 1968, handing the responsibility to what he calls "carnal Satanists," and ties the cultural shift to the Satanic Bible's creed "do what thou wilt" replacing the Ten Commandments' "thou shalt not." He frames the rest of the hour as an accounting of what filled that vacuum.

Witchcraft Titles and The Breeder

Dean runs through a list of recent witchcraft- and occult-themed titles he says are aimed at children, including Hex, Agatha All Along, Hocus Pocus, The Owl House, Halloweentown, The Watcher in the Woods, Just Beyond, and Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and claims Harry Potter is often the first gateway for people pursuing the occult. He then retells a story he says came from a youth pastor early in his Christian life, about a teenage girl, one of a set of twins born to a preacher, who was taken from the hospital into a witches' coven, raised as what the coven called a "breeder," repeatedly impregnated so the resulting infants could be sacrificed. Dean connects that account to a new film, The Breeder, which he says uses a transgender actress to lure a man into unwitting participation in human breeding and sacrifice, calling the premise illegal under what he describes as the Torah-based foundation of common and canon law.

Scripture, Law, and a Demon's Parable

Dean tells a parable of Satan rewarding a demon who proposes deceiving mankind not with atheism or evolution but with the lie that there is always "more time," tying it to 2 Corinthians 6:2 on today being the day of salvation. He reads 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 10 as a direct indictment of Hollywood's output, listing fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, the effeminate, and thieves among those he says will not inherit the kingdom of God. Citing Montesquieu on liberty as the right to do what law permits and John Locke on departing from God's moral law producing tyranny, Dean argues new releases like How to Rob a Bank effectively train audiences in crimes the same society later prosecutes. The segment includes recorded endorsements from caller Carl, broadcaster Perry Atkinson of Dove Radio and TV, and quotations Dean reads from Patrick Henry, John Hancock, Puritan John Owen, and theologian Francis Turretin on tyranny, grace, and effectual calling.

Callers Margie and Chris Weigh In

Taking calls, Margie from Minnesota raises France's President Emmanuel Macron and his spouse, Celine Dion's recent concert imagery, and Taylor Swift's influence on young fans she calls "Swifties," arguing all three normalize what she considers demonic symbolism; Dean responds by quoting Puritan writer Thomas Watson on those who "spit against heaven" falling on their own back, and agrees Celine Dion has "crossed the lines." Margie also cites 2 Chronicles 7:14 as her hope for national repentance, while Dean counters that America shows no sign of repenting. Chris calls in from Springville and recalls that television inventor Philo T. Farnsworth, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, reportedly refused to let his own children watch television by 1953 because of what was already being broadcast. Chris adds that turning on modern programming gives him "this dark feeling" of being programmed, and Dean agrees, tying the decline to churches abandoning scripture.

Madonna, the Great Seal, and a Call to Separate

Returning from break, Dean reads Benjamin Franklin's proposed Great Seal motto, "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God," describing Thomas Jefferson's edited design of Pharaoh's chariot pursuing Israel through the parted Red Sea. He then turns at length to Madonna, recalling that she once told worried mothers she "pleads the Fifth" over her sexual content and told Larry King her own daughter was not allowed to watch what Dean calls the same "garbage" she sells to other children; he calls her a "fallen star" rather than the standard the culture holds her up to be. Dean also claims, without naming a source, that the CIA deliberately promotes untalented performers and gang and drug themes in music to degrade society. He closes by reading 2 Corinthians 6:14-17 and James 4:4 on being "unequally yoked" with unbelievers, urging listeners to "come out from among them" before the broadcast ends.

Testifying of the Gifts of the Spirit: Cessationism, Healing, and Prophetic Testimonies

In a solo Sunday church service, Bradlee Dean argues against cessationism and testifies to tongues, healing, and prophecy through a string of personal stories, then takes calls from listeners Bill, Trisha, and Bob.

Praise, Worship, and a Topic for the Day

Bradlee Dean opens the Sunday service with praise and worship music, playing "At the Foot of the Cross," "Open My Eyes," and "Holy, Holy, Holy," thanking his "church family" between songs and apologizing for a technical mishap that cuts off the music partway through. He tells listeners today's topic is testifying of the gifts of the Spirit, recalling the high school assemblies his ministry has run across the country, including among Native American communities in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, where he asks students what they believe. He previews his case against cessationism, the doctrine that the gifts of the Holy Ghost ended with the apostolic age, calling anyone who holds it "a believer that doesn't believe." He gives out the call-in number, 281-845-4704, inviting testimonies and questions for the end of the service, then returns to worship music before settling into his teaching.

Scripture Against the Cessationist Doctrine

Dean turns to 1 Corinthians 15, reading Paul's defense of the resurrection and arguing that faith without a living, active Christ is "vain" and "hopeless." He quotes healer John G. Lake's line that teaching the day of miracles is past is "the most disastrous lie that was ever told," robbing Christianity of its power to demonstrate itself. Dean cites Acts 10:38 and Mark 16:20 on Jesus healing the oppressed and signs following believers, contrasting that promise with hospitals he says are filled with people who do not truly believe in the God they pray to. He argues Scripture nowhere states the gifts were withdrawn from the church, and accuses popular preachers of being "controlled opposition" who keep congregations believing miracles ended with the apostles. He prays over the congregation, thanking God for healing, anointing, and the gifts of the Spirit before resuming his teaching.

Ephesians, Idolatry, and Growing in the Spirit

Reading Ephesians 4:11-12 and 1 Corinthians 12:28, Dean lists apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers as gifts given "for the perfecting of the saints" and the edifying of the body of Christ, arguing most churches invert this purpose into carnal entertainment. He warns against turning favorite preachers into idols, and urges listeners stuck in compromised churches to leave rather than stay for social comfort, likening it to Jews who feared expulsion from the synagogue. Quoting King David's claim to have "known more than the ancients" because he kept the Lord's precepts, Dean argues spiritual growth requires fellowship with spiritual rather than carnal men, citing 1 Corinthians 15:33 that "bad company corrupts good character." He revisits the previous week's broadcast on cessationism, defining the term as the doctrine that tongues, prophecy, and healing ceased with the apostolic age, insisting that is "a lack of Christianity," not a legitimate theological position.

Lazarus, the Gifts Itemized, and the Pharisees

Dean itemizes New Testament gifts from 1 Corinthians 12, including words of wisdom and knowledge and discerning of spirits, citing Peter's exposure of Ananias and Sapphira and Paul casting a divining spirit out of a servant girl in Philippi. He walks through John 11 at length, recounting Jesus weeping at Lazarus's tomb not from grief but from frustration at Martha, Mary, and the disciples' unbelief, then commanding Lazarus from the grave to glorify God. Dean argues the story exposes "believers that don't believe," recalling a youth pastor who once told him "Jesus wept" only because Lazarus died, a reading Dean calls shallow and carnal. He notes that after the miracle the Pharisees moved to protect their authority rather than believe, arguing today's cessationists play the same institutional role, denying the gifts because acknowledging them would cost them control over their congregations.

Predestination, a Prophetic Bus, and the Son He Was Promised

Addressing critics who call him a Calvinist, Dean insists predestination and election are simply scriptural, citing Ephesians 1 and Romans 9 and Jesus choosing His own apostles, and walks through Nicodemus's night visit in John 3 on being born again. He then turns to personal testimony, describing a prophet named Al who, without knowing Dean, thanked God for "that son" and for "a white bus," both of which arrived within months: his wife conceived, and his ministry acquired a used touring bus that he later learned had belonged to the Christian band TRUTH. He recounts other prophetic encounters, including a stranger at a Radisson in Brooklyn Park who foretold a woman's arrival at a nearby table, and a friend's prophetic word that led a pastor to marry within a year. Dean frames every story as proof the gifts remain active, insisting he is "not the standard" but only testifying to what Christ has done.

Healing Testimonies, Named Heretics, and Calls From Listeners

Dean recounts praying with his wife over a dying alcoholic at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids whose liver and kidneys reportedly began working again within hours, and describes finding his mother's long-lost adopted-out son after giving a televangelist his last $68, discovering the man's birthdate matched exactly. He contrasts these testimonies with accounts of confronting Benny Hinn, Rodney Howard-Browne, and Mack Hammond in person, calling each a heretic who manipulates congregations rather than operating in genuine gifts. Dean closes with requests for donations by mail to a PO box in Annandale, Minnesota, and online at sonsoflibertymedia.com, then takes calls: Bill from Indiana recounts his wife's encounter with a warlock at an antique shop, Trisha describes a lifelong search for answers after a Catholic upbringing and asks Dean to pray for the nation, and Bob from Texas tells of reconciling with his estranged father after a chance meeting with a retired Air Force colonel. Dean thanks the callers and signs off until the next broadcast.

Hour 1: Where Is It That We The People Are To Submit To Tyranny

Hour 2: WE Do Not Have a Monarchial System of Government

We Are Not a Monarchy: The Magna Carta, 1 Samuel 8, and Why Scripture Never Commands Submission to Tyranny

In a solo broadcast, Bradlee Dean argues that America has never been a monarchy and that scripture never commands believers to submit to tyranny, tracing his case through the Mayflower Compact, the Magna Carta, 1 Samuel 8, the Great Seal, and Daniel's fiery furnace.

Sons Of Liberty History And A Monarchy Rebuttal

Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast alone with a recorded history of the original Sons of Liberty, recalling the Liberty Tree in Boston, the Liberty Pole in New York, the fight against the Stamp Act, and the Boston Tea Party, quoting John Adams's praise for its order and "sublimity." After the show's theme and a station identification describing Sons of Liberty as grounded in a Christian biblical worldview, Dean greets listeners and lays out his thesis: Americans wrongly believe the United States operates as a monarchy. He reads Romans 12:21 and 1 Peter 2:14 on government's purpose to punish evildoers, pairs that with the Constitution's opening words, "We the people," and argues the people are the government. He quotes John F. Kennedy on rights coming from God rather than the state, and Abraham Lincoln on overthrowing corrupt men rather than the Constitution itself, setting up the day's argument that America is not ruled by kings.

The Mayflower Compact As America's First Charter

Dean tells listeners he was taping television the previous day with Perry Atkinson, out of Oregon, who asked why young people today do not know where the nation came from, and Dean uses that exchange as a bridge into the Mayflower Compact. He reads the 1620 document in full, noting its signers covenant together for the "advancement of the Christian faith" and consent to "just and equal laws," and calls it the real seedbed of the Declaration of Independence, three-quarters of which, he says, simply listed grievances the colonists were throwing off. He repeats his opening theme, that resistance to tyranny is obedience to God, found nowhere commanding believers to disobey God in order to obey man, and gives out the call-in number, inviting any disagreeing listener to test their case on air. He reminds new listeners that Sons of Liberty Radio exists so people think for themselves rather than making others the measure of their conduct.

Caleb Collier, An Atheist Caller, And The Magna Carta

After the show's theme and a station identification, a female announcer invites churchless listeners to Dean's Sunday service, and Caleb Collier, host of Church and State, introduces himself and calls Dean one of the greatest theologians and patriots of the era. Dean jokes about a replaced studio clock, then recalls a radio exchange years earlier with an atheist caller who agreed that lying, stealing, coveting, and murder are against the law yet could not say who established it, a story he uses to argue America's legal conscience is inescapably Christian. He accuses most pulpits of revising that history, then recalls seeing the Magna Carta parchment at the Library of Congress and later explaining it during one of dozens of trips to Michigan. Dean walks through its 1215 signing at Runnymede, where rebellious barons forced King John to stop taxing and ruling arbitrarily, and lists rights it recorded, from no taxation without consent to required witnesses for indictments, citing scholar Helen Silving's argument that the charter subjects the king to God and the law rather than Greek or Roman philosophy.

1 Samuel 8 And America's Political Idols

Dean reads passages on grace from R.W. Barbour and Adam Clarke's catechism, then turns to 1 Samuel 8, where Israel's elders demand a king "like all nations" and the Lord tells Samuel the people have rejected him, not Samuel. He walks through Samuel's warning that such a king will take sons for armies and chariots, daughters for his kitchens, and fields and flocks through taxation, and Israel's insistence anyway. Dean applies the passage to the present, arguing Americans have made idols of politicians, contrasting a president's dozens of protective vehicles with Harry Truman walking the streets shaking hands. He connects the Declaration of Independence's four references to the Creator with the Statue of Liberty's broken chain and tablet, a Woodrow Wilson quotation calling America a Christian nation, and a Minnesota Supreme Court mural of Moses. He contrasts a biblical view of limited, God-ordained government, which he says produces patriotism, with a pagan view of unlimited state authority rooted in evolution, which produces state worship and tyranny, before closing the hour with a meditation on God's sovereignty.

Romans 13, John Hancock, And Attacks On Pastors

Returning for a second hour, Dean takes up Romans 13, asking whether Christians who cite it to demand blind obedience would really submit if a president revived the medieval custom of prima nocta, and argues all human authority, from fathers to employers to civil magistrates, is limited by its purpose. He retells John Hancock signing the Declaration of Independence in oversized letters so the British crown would not need spectacles to read his name, quoting Hancock's call that resistance to tyranny is a Christian duty. Dean contrasts that with Franklin Graham, claiming Graham urged Donald Trump to delay acting on abortion while funding for it rose past six hundred million dollars, a figure Dean does not source. A caller named Carl, from Delano, Minnesota, phones in to praise the ministry's content as truthful guidance through disinformation. Dean then names Mark Driscoll and John Hagee alongside Graham, calling them Zionists and controlled opposition who teach congregations to hide behind prayer, reading Jeremiah 23:14 and Revelation 2:9 to argue, without citing supporting scholarship, that Zionists are not actually Jewish.

The Great Seal, William Blackstone, And The Fiery Furnace

Dean turns to the Great Seal of the United States, describing Thomas Jefferson's edit of a design by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams: Pharaoh's chariot pursuing the Israelites through the parted Red Sea while Moses, lit by a pillar of fire, extends his hand over the waters beneath the motto "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." He introduces William Blackstone's commentaries on English common law, built, he says, on the Torah, and reads Patrick Henry's warning that forgetting God forges tyrants' chains. After an endorsement from Perry Atkinson of Dove Radio and TV, Dean quotes John Wycliffe and Senator John Glenn, laments that the church has lost its love for truth, citing Charles Spurgeon's lines about dust-covered Bibles and clowns entertaining goats, and retells Frederick Douglass praying twenty years for freedom before putting his own feet to his prayers. He closes with Patrick Henry's "Caesar had his Brutus" treason speech and Daniel's fiery furnace, where Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse to bow and emerge unsinged, telling listeners he is only halfway through his material before signing off.

Where We The People Are Called To Submit To Tyranny: Romans 13, the Great Seal, and America's Christian Founding

In a solo broadcast, Bradlee Dean argues that scripture never commands believers to submit to tyranny, walking listeners through Romans 13, the hidden motto of the Great Seal, the Magna Carta, and the fiery furnace of Daniel to make his case.

Romans 13 and the Limits of Authority

Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast alone with a direct answer to listeners who quote Romans 13 to argue Christians must submit to any government. He reads the passage in full, then challenges anyone who treats it as unconditional obedience, asking whether a Christian would really submit if a president revived the medieval custom of prima nocta, the king's claimed right to a subject's bride on her wedding night. Dean argues all human authority is limited by its purpose: a father cannot abuse his family, an employer cannot control an employee's private life, and a civil magistrate's authority is confined to punishing evil and protecting good. He stresses that Romans 13 itself defines government as a minister of God for good, with no authority to terrorize people who do right, and that any ruler who oversteps that boundary forfeits divine protection. He is cut off mid-sentence by music as he begins discussing Moses and the Egyptian taskmaster, a thread picked up later in the hour.

A Thesis of No Submission to Tyranny

After the show's theme and a station identification describing Sons of Liberty as grounded in a Christian biblical worldview, Bradlee Dean greets listeners and lays out his thesis for the day: nowhere in the Word of God, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, or the Constitution are the people told to submit to tyranny. He insists he seeks lawful reformation, not overthrow of the Constitution, only of the men who pervert it. He retells John Hancock signing the Declaration in oversized letters so the British crown would not need spectacles to read his name, quoting Hancock's line that resistance to tyranny is a Christian duty. Dean then turns critical, naming Franklin Graham and claiming Graham urged Donald Trump to delay acting on abortion, while abortion funding rose under Trump past six hundred million dollars, higher than under Barack Obama, a figure Dean does not source. He gives out the call-in number and invites challengers to phone in.

A Caller's Testimonial and Attacks on Pastors

A caller named Carl, from Delano, Minnesota, offers a brief on-air testimonial praising Sons of Liberty's content as truthful guidance through disinformation and plugging Dean's Sunday service. Back from the break, Dean resumes his critique of prominent pastors, naming Mark Driscoll and John Hagee alongside Franklin Graham, calling them Zionists and controlled opposition who teach congregations to hide behind prayer instead of confronting corruption. He broadens the charge to Billy Graham, claiming decades of propping up political corruption, and reads Jeremiah 23:14 on prophets who commit adultery, walk in lies, and strengthen evildoers, applying it to an evangelical advisory board around Donald Trump that he says contains no genuine Christians. Dean then reads Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 on a synagogue of Satan to argue, without citing supporting scholarship, that Zionists are not actually Jewish, and challenges any of the named pastors to call in and answer him directly rather than remain silent.

The Great Seal's Hidden Motto

Dean turns to the Great Seal of the United States, displaying what he says is Thomas Jefferson's edit of a design first proposed by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams: Pharaoh in his chariot pursuing the Israelites through the parted Red Sea while Moses, lit by a pillar of fire, extends his hand over the waters. The motto beneath it, Dean says, was meant to be Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God, and he argues most Americans have never seen this history connecting the nation's founding symbolism to Exodus. He calls it proof the founders understood government's purpose as described in Romans 12:21, to right wrongs rather than demand blind submission. Dean then introduces English jurist William Blackstone, crediting him with commentaries on English common law that he says are built on the Torah's commandments and statutes, quoting Blackstone's line that no human enactment can be considered law unless it conforms to God's unchangeable moral law.

Founders' Quotes, Magna Carta, and a Fading Church

Between advertising breaks, Dean reads a string of quotations: Puritan preacher John Owen and theologian Francis Turretin on grace and effectual calling, Patrick Henry's warning that bad men cannot make good citizens and that forgetting God forges tyrants' chains, and John Hancock's call to resist tyranny as a Christian duty. He recaps a broadcast from the previous day covering the Magna Carta and 1 Samuel 8, where Israel demanded a king like the surrounding nations, reading it as a rejection of God's own kingship. He quotes nineteenth-century House Speaker Robert Winthrop's line that a people not ruled by the Word of God will be ruled by the bayonet. Dean laments that the church, which he calls society's moral compass, has largely abandoned a love for truth, citing Charles Spurgeon's lines about dust-covered Bibles and shepherds replaced by clowns entertaining goats. He closes retelling Frederick Douglass's account of praying twenty years before putting his own feet to his prayers and gaining freedom.

Healing Prayers and the Fiery Furnace

In the final hour, Dean addresses a listener he calls Sears B directly, inviting him to Sunday service so Dean can pray for his healing, citing scripture on Jesus healing the oppressed. He contrasts that promise with a story about a transgender athlete who criticized the United States while competing abroad, then sought the American government's help after running into legal trouble overseas, which Dean uses to argue critics should appreciate the nation they are quick to condemn. He revisits Patrick Henry's Caesar had his Brutus speech and the cry of Treason it provoked, then retells Moses commanding Pharaoh to free the Israelites and Nebuchadnezzar's furnace in Daniel 3, where Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse to bow to an idol and emerge unsinged after a fourth figure appears in the flames. Dean frames their defiance as the model for obedience to God over earthly rulers, tells listeners he is only halfway through his material, and signs off until the next afternoon's broadcast.
