I said that in 1933 by a vision. Sure, it’s a woman’s world. Where did it start from? Hollywood. All your dirty, filthy dressing and things, that’s what’s crept into our homes and things like that.

Charlie Kern used to live there. What’s it… Orphan’s home over here on Meigs Avenue. In 1933, I just got a 1933 Ford, and I dedicated it that morning to the Lord.

::(2) ''And I predicted, that, “'''America, their number-one god would be women.'''” That’s what it is. Everything is fashioned after Hollywood.

And the scandal on these movie stars, there isn’t a one of them, hardly, but what’s prostitutes. And the FBI exposed it just recently. I have it from their own file. And so all of them living out, even these movie stars, where he proved, they went in and picked them up, living with men, twenty-five and fifty dollars a night, a man, all up and down, in Hollywood and everywhere, had private homes and men back in there where they would send them out to these people. And that’s what we look to, television, and—and out here on these screens and things, and let our children call that an idol. And then call that mother? That’s a long ways from being mother. That’s filth. That’s exactly. And yet they set the pace of the day. Well, let them, the kind of clothes they wear, watch the American women dress right up just like them, and everything. Sure. And America’s god is a woman. Not Jehovah; they’ve turned away from That. Not to mother now, now lay that aside, that’s a sacred thing we’re going to talk about; but I mean woman. | ::(2) ''And I predicted, that, “'''America, their number-one god would be women.'''” That’s what it is.
