Season 2

Our scheduled guest Michael Finch called in sick, so I touched on his new book, A Time to Stand, The Dire Hour to Defend American Beauty. Also analyzed the disfunction of our government and why we're not getting what we paid for. Our government's track record is obvious. It's designed to serve the political class at the expense of We The People. Quite the gig if you can get away with it. And so far, particularly in the last hundred years, they're satisfied with the outsome. But are you?

00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:40.240
Welcome afternoon, Welcome, Good to have you with us. Bill

11
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.560
Martinez here for more information on the show. I got

12
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.479
Bill Martinez Live dot com. We are on standby for

13
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.200
our guest Michael Finch a new book called Time to

14
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:55.200
Stand the Dire Hour to Defend American Beauty. Looking forward

15
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.600
to conversation. This is going to be a conversation Part two.

16
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.240
I was able to visit with Michael probably a couple

17
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:05.359
of weeks ago on our daily show that airs by

18
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:10.560
the Way live Monday through Friday, nine to eleven Eastern time.

19
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.040
And while we're waiting for him, I just give you

20
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:17.200
a quick update. We've got some major changes coming about

21
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:22.280
the show, we're going to probably start beta testing a

22
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.439
different type of way to connect with you, you know,

23
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.519
through our website that and that is that we'll have

24
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.840
an app that'll be Bill Martinez Live Exclusive. And this

25
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.599
way we can have a better way to converse one

26
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.959
with another on the issues of the day, the things

27
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.599
that we're talking about, the guests, many great guests that

28
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.920
we have, and particularly in this afternoon show, this is

29
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.680
a weekly you know, this is really affords us a

30
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.599
great opportunity to be able to have an extended conversation

31
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.159
with our guests, you know, for almost an hour, so

32
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.040
it's terrific. But anyway, we're waiting for Michael to come

33
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:04.280
on to talk about the dire Hour to defend American beauty.

34
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.640
Time to stand. This is quite the clarion call and

35
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.680
it's an encouragement, so you know, we'll hope hopefully he'll

36
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.360
join us here in just a moment. But meanwhile, just

37
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.360
to kind of bring you up to date on some

38
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.680
other things that we've been addressing on the Daily Show.

39
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.240
Or it's the big thing. Everybody's talking about socialism, right,

40
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.680
you know, because of Mom Donnie and what happened in

41
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.199
New York. But you know, the thing is that you

42
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:32.080
have to understand about socialism. Socialism kind of like the

43
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:36.599
Democratic Party is real good at identifying the problems. What

44
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.639
they're not good at is coming to a solution. This

45
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:43.319
is why in our two party system, how it works

46
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.960
more effectively is when you have that balance with the

47
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.000
Democrat and Republican Party. I'm not much for parties, I

48
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.960
tell you, I agree with you know, our first president

49
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.280
of the United States, President Washington, who's who warned us

50
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.919
about partisanship, warned us about parties that would divide it.

51
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:01.599
I mean, it's kind of mazing. Here we are the

52
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.599
United States of America, and what do we do. We

53
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.400
implement a political system that will naturally put the skins

54
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.439
against the shirts, so to speak. You know, for those

55
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.439
of you that have been in athletics, you understand that term.

56
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.719
But it pits one against the other just by its

57
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.039
very nature has to do that. And you know, so

58
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.319
how can you be the United States when you're you know,

59
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.199
at each other's throats, and especially the way it's gotten

60
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.319
because it's gotten to the point where it's not even constructive,

61
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:32.599
it's just it's almost violent. It's rage based. You know. Unfortunately,

62
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.840
one side just absolutely hates the president of the United

63
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.120
States and hates them. I mean hates some to the

64
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.479
point that, you know, you look at these numbers and

65
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.080
they just so casually think, well, it would be okay

66
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.080
if the president got shot, you know, and got assassinated.

67
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.159
Are you kidding me? You know, for those of us

68
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.360
who were around during the sixties when we had what

69
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.120
four assassinations in a short period of time, I mean

70
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.199
this was tragic. I mean beyond tragic. Not to mention

71
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.080
what it did for the trajectory of politics, you our

72
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.400
nation and the development everything. I don't know that we

73
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.599
could come back out of it and say that I'm

74
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:07.639
sure glad that happened. That was such a great thing.

75
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.240
You know that President Kennedy got assassinated, which still blows

76
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:13.759
me away. I Mean, here we are, what sixty two

77
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.279
years later, and we still can't figure out who did it. Yeah,

78
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.839
I think we know, but you know, you just you

79
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:20.480
can't talk about it anymore than you can talk about

80
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.360
the twenty twenty elections. Right. It's the nature of partisan

81
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.759
politics that refuses to deal with reason and the things

82
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:32.480
that should make sense. But anyway, so the nature of

83
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.680
having a two party system is First of all, the

84
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.560
Democrats kind of like socialists. And of course now even

85
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.959
more so because you've got the Democratic Socialists the party

86
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.920
who I've identified themselves. They've come out of the closet

87
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.720
and they are the left wing of the Democratic Party

88
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.519
and the DSA, and so you know, there's just denying it.

89
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.240
And don't be surprised. I mean, this is what you know,

90
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.279
Trevor Lauden. If you recall Reber Laudnuho has been on

91
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:05.199
the show here many times, you know, identified said Bill,

92
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.399
you know there's over one hundred cart caring Democratic socialists

93
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.439
that are elected officials in our government. Well guess what

94
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:17.279
I mean. There's no theoretical there's no conspiratorial idea. I mean,

95
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.680
it's obvious that here they are. And you go, okay,

96
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.959
how can this be? How can you have somebody as

97
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.839
a democratic socialist? I mean, forget about democrat Democrats just

98
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.279
to kind of make you think it's okay, it's they're socialists,

99
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.839
and so I don't I mean, you just have to

100
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:43.199
deal with reality that that democrats they're not democrats, they're socialists. Okay.

101
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.959
And as one said, the road to socialism leads to communism.

102
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.240
That's that's really what it is. So you know, get

103
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.720
the facts straight. Understand terminology. It means the same Democrats

104
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:56.920
are real good. The Democratic Party has been real good

105
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.600
at hiding and obfuscating what they're intent is. Like the

106
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.639
Affordable Care Act, right, it wasn't very affordable, just the

107
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.399
exact opposite. You know, you think about it right now.

108
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.240
Even before COVID, we were subsidizing the Affordable Care Act

109
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.680
to the tune of eighty percent. Think about that. I

110
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.959
mean it's like you got to be kidding me. I

111
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:19.639
mean I didn't even realize these numbers. I mean I

112
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.480
knew going in because I argued against it. I thought

113
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:26.759
that the whole you know, Obamacare was a travesty and

114
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.360
everything that we thought and said it would be it

115
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.800
has become. And it's been on life support for a

116
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.040
number of years. You know, thank you very much the

117
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.240
Democratic Party. They kept putting money into it, and then

118
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.040
COVID comes along, So what do they add? They had

119
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.519
another fifteen to twenty percent to the assistance, which is

120
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.360
the American people paying for this, and you got people

121
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:49.480
that are making a lot of picking money, I mean

122
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.120
over four hundred thousand dollars and they're on Obamacare, but

123
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.720
you know with subsidy, got to be kidding me. Now,

124
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.120
it's it's the problem, and it's this whole situation. It

125
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.439
is what it is, and you're seeing it for real.

126
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.360
It's corrupt, it's unfair. I can't blame these young kids

127
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:06.759
for looking at it, even other people going. You know,

128
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.319
it's an affordable ability issue, but it's affordability issue on

129
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.639
many you know, in many parts of our government. You know,

130
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.399
Elon Musk and Doge came in and you know, they

131
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.920
came in and identified you know, wasting, said look that

132
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.360
we could probably clean if we're serious about it, we

133
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:28.680
probably clean up at least a trillion dollars an expense.

134
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.199
Well you think so, I mean, you know, really pre COVID,

135
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.759
we were about four trillion dollars is what we're paying

136
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:38.600
for our government. Since then, it's you know, like we're

137
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.439
playing six seven seven trillion and we're at least two trillion,

138
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.879
you know, overdrawn every year. It's about every sixty days

139
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.560
we're adding another trillion. To think about this trillion dollars

140
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.560
in debt about another sixty years and a lot of people,

141
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.839
you know, I remember we stalk about a billion dollars

142
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:56.680
and say, do you realize what a billion dollars is?

143
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:58.800
You know, I'm a stack of one you know, one

144
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.759
dollar bills would go, you know, to outer space. And

145
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.480
you know, they did all these different memes and ideas

146
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.600
of what a billion dollars. Now it's a trillion dollars.

147
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.800
A trillion dollars is One person explaining to me the

148
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.120
other day said, Bill, you could spend a million dollars

149
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.240
a day and it would take you, I think he

150
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.800
said thirty thirty two thousand years, you know, to spend

151
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.480
a trillion dollars. I mean, whatever it is, even thirty

152
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.600
two hundred and thirty, but thirty. You know, that's a

153
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.720
lot of time, a million dollars a day, to spend

154
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.680
a trillion dollars, and yet our government spends it like nothing.

155
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.480
And here we are, every sixty days, we're adding another

156
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.399
trillion dollars. You know, it's no wonder we're thirty a

157
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.600
trillion dollars in debt. So something's got to give here.

158
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:44.039
But the issue, and of course these young people mostly

159
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.240
think right now, they think, well, it's Trump's fault because

160
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.799
Trump's in office. Trump's trying to clean up the mess

161
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.559
that were left on all the aisles in the grocery store,

162
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:53.879
you know, from the Democratic Party. And we can't blame

163
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.399
it all on Joe Biden. I mean, Joe Biden was

164
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.440
part of the problem. Obama did a lot, and of

165
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.200
course there were Republican participation as well. I get that

166
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.600
because you see the problem we have with our government.

167
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.840
It's designed to be corrupt. Believe it or not. It

168
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:14.639
wasn't designed by the Constitution. It's since the Constitution we've

169
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:18.960
continued to miss the mark. And particularly the Democrats figured

170
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.279
out the game here and they figure, look it, if

171
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:26.000
we start bringing in public assistant programs. You know, we

172
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.639
got all this money, you know, taxpayer money flowing to

173
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.559
these assistant programs, and guess what, I'm going to get

174
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.919
some vig off of that. And so they use that

175
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:38.240
vig to support their reelection campaign. So, I mean, it's

176
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.120
a joke when you think about it, because the taxpayer

177
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.559
continues to be vested in the in this participation of

178
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:49.960
this corrupt system that keeps re electing people that create

179
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.879
the problem. Right, and then they can claim some sort

180
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.799
of plausible deniability and say, oh, it's Trump's fault because

181
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.080
he's an officer of the Republicans because they have control,

182
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.600
you know, of the trif there They've got you know,

183
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.399
the house to send it and the Oval Office. Well

184
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.120
wait a minute, you guys left such a man. Do

185
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:08.360
you think you're going to clean it up in a

186
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.279
couple of days. I mean, Trump thanked God, you know,

187
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.879
was able to close the border right away. There were

188
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.039
some things. I mean, you know, we're paying less for eggs.

189
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:17.600
I mean I was surprised the other day I got

190
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.039
eighteen a dozen and a half eggs for like three bucks.

191
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:22.960
I go, what you got to be kidding? This is great.

192
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:27.399
I love it. Our gas here in Florida get paid

193
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:32.039
two seventy a gallon. My son's in California they're paying

194
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.440
like five six bucks. The ity's so crazy over there.

195
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:36.840
You know that if you're in California. I'm not saying

196
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:41.759
anything new, it's absurd. But you know, for most of America,

197
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.039
you know, gas is a lot cheaper. But yet there's

198
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.600
still other things, measurable things that people are looking at.

199
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:49.639
And I don't blame the young kids. They look and

200
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.480
they say, why I still can't afford a house? Well,

201
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.000
no kidding, in can't afford to house, but you gotta

202
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:56.080
understand how we got here and this mess that has

203
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.600
to be cleaned up so that things can be affordable.

204
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.399
And a big part of this is, well, I mean

205
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.879
there's several things. Actually, it's not just one. Big part.

206
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.879
Part of it is that you know, big big organizations,

207
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.000
big companies like you know, Black Rock and State Street

208
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.519
and Vanguard to all this stuff coming and these other

209
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.000
corporations said hey, we're going to buy up houses. We're

210
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:19.360
going to buy it up because there's going to be

211
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.679
a housing shortage, all right. So they buy up all

212
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:25.639
these houses and they create this demand and guess who what,

213
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.200
you know, they got all the supply, right, The supply

214
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.679
is controlled by them. So this is why rents are

215
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.159
so high. The other part of it is that you know, Biden,

216
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.159
let's in, I'll pick a number, ten to fifteen million

217
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.799
illegal immigrants. Well, guess what they need houses, and so

218
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:44.399
they're renting, and so this is putting pressure on the supply.

219
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.879
All this is contributing to the lack of affordability. The

220
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.320
other thing is is you've got government regulation getting in

221
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.360
the way making it near impossible to build a house,

222
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.120
and all these hoops that these people have to you know,

223
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.320
go through and especially right now we need new housing,

224
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:04.360
new building. So that's contributory inflation, cost of goods and everything.

225
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:07.679
It's just see all this is compiling. Well, Donald Trump

226
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.879
didn't create that. That was already there, Thank you very much.

227
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.639
Joe Biden and the Democrats over the years, all right,

228
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.120
so they create this problem. I think Bill Fetterer, our

229
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.519
good friend Bill Fetder from the American Minute fan, you know,

230
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.639
when he was running for Congress, realized he goes, he goes,

231
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.000
these guys they got such a scamyer. What they do.

232
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.120
These people are the ones that go out and in

233
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.480
front of they start the fire, right, they light up

234
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.159
the house, they start to burn it down, and then

235
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.240
they come from the backyard with a fire hose and

236
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.360
you know, put the fire out. And like everybody looks

237
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.320
at him, go, oh wow, you guys are so great.

238
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:44.919
You just put the fire out. But what they forget

239
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.759
in which the mainstream media, the mainstream media can see

240
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.080
them lighting the fire and burning the house down, but

241
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.120
they don't report on it. What they report on is, hey,

242
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.399
the Democrats came with fire hose and save the day.

243
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:59.279
Put the fire out. Everybody thinks, oh gosh, thank you

244
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:04.440
very much, demo, it's a scam. We've been worked and

245
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.000
we've been like to three ways to Sunday. And guess what,

246
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.320
we keep buying into it. People keep buying into it,

247
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.720
and they keep reelecting these knuckleheads that do all this damage.

248
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:14.679
They give us the Affordable Care Act, they give us

249
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:18.879
the what Reduction Inflammation Inflation Act? Right, one point seven

250
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.000
trillion dollars we're already in debt up thing. I think

251
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.279
of that point, we're about thirty four to thirty five trillion.

252
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.039
By oh, not enough, we got to add another one

253
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:29.559
point seven trillion to the debt to reduce inflation. Well,

254
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:31.240
and then they kind of laugh about it. I go,

255
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.320
I didn't quite do the job, did it. No, of

256
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.039
course not. You don't spend more money and get yourself

257
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:37.519
deeper in debt to get yourself out of it. And

258
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.639
it never works. Any economists with any kind of a

259
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:43.080
straight brain would tell you that's just it's a joke.

260
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:45.360
And what it was. And I mentioned this to you,

261
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.159
I said, all this stuff that happened in Biden, it

262
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.600
was all to payoff political debt. Just think about this

263
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:53.120
for just a moment. Hillary Clinton was supposed to win, Right,

264
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.320
there's no way. I mean ninety nine they told us

265
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.720
ninety nine million to one, you know that she would

266
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.360
she win odds on favor that Hillary was to win. Well,

267
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:06.120
she lost. And meanwhile, you know, she raised I think

268
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:09.759
she did another Kamala you know campaign covers. I think

269
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.720
over a billion dollars she raised. Well, that comes with

270
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.639
a lot of political debt. And guess what if you

271
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:19.200
were a donor and you paid and you had a

272
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:22.159
sure winner and that horse didn't come in, you not

273
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.200
be a happy camper. And you know, they put up

274
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.679
with it all, with the assurances. I'm sure the Obamas

275
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:32.240
and everybody else said, hey, man, don't worry twenty twenty.

276
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:34.159
You know, we're gonna get this knucklehead out of here.

277
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:38.000
He's an idiot. You know, this want to be president,

278
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.279
you know, want to be king. You know, this guy

279
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:42.879
doesn't know anything about politics or like that. Look what

280
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:46.720
he's doing. And so they rig this deal for twenty

281
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.639
twenty and they get control and next thing you know,

282
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.000
they're they're tapping into the treasury of the taxpayer and

283
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.240
paying off all these political you know, like I asked

284
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.919
Michael Butler and I even talked with you know, our

285
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.000
good friend you know, over Norquist with ATR Americans for

286
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.679
Tax Reform, I said, somebody's got to do analysis on this.

287
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:06.559
We got to figure out, you know, all this thirty

288
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:09.440
eight trillion dollars. I'm just asking the question. Maybe you

289
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.399
are too, I don't know, but thirty eight trillion dollars

290
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:16.440
in debt? How much of that money went to buy votes?

291
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:21.480
To you know, pay donors buy votes? All that And

292
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:23.879
I've got a couple of economists say all of it, Bill,

293
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.080
be honest with you, all of it. And so think

294
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:29.240
about it. We're thirty eight trillion dollars in debt to pay.

295
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:31.320
I mean we're part of You didn't know you were

296
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.360
part of a reelection campaign? Did you your tax? Pay

297
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:37.120
your taxes, your harder and tax money is going to

298
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.000
get these guys reelected that have burnt down the house.

299
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.600
But all we see is then with fire hosts thinking

300
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:44.919
that you know, they're all that in a bag of chips. No,

301
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:47.720
they're all a bunch of thieves. That's what it is.

302
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:49.879
You know, they got to call it for what it is.

303
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.080
You know, they've been stealing from us all this time

304
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.960
because that's the way the system is designed. Like I

305
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.320
reminded you. You know, I think one of our first conversations,

306
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:01.759
I shortly I said, look it. You know, you think

307
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.480
these elected officials they go to Washington, d C. From

308
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.759
you know, small town USA or maybe even big town USA,

309
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.559
and they go they, oh, I'm going to support my constituents.

310
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.039
I'm going to be the best senator. I'm going to

311
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.120
be the best congressman ever. And they go there and

312
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:17.480
they find out in orientation their first day, they say, hey,

313
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.200
what do you think your number one job is? And

314
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.200
they said, oh, I got to support my constituency. Wrong,

315
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:24.720
what do you mean wrong? No, your number one job

316
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.720
is to get re elected. In fact, as soon as

317
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.639
we're done here, there's a phone bank over in this

318
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:31.720
other building, and you're going to go work the phones.

319
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.039
You got to raise money. That's what it's all about.

320
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:39.159
So your your desires and your agenda as a taxpayer

321
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:43.720
who just elected this knucklehead that gets subordinated, That is

322
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.360
not the most important thing in their lives. This is

323
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.600
why they continue. I mean, look at it, it's not

324
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.279
that complicated. And really, I mean, forget about the mainstream news.

325
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.399
I mean, you know Donald Trump affectionately refers to them

326
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:58.399
as fake news. Well, you know, it's biased news. Call

327
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.399
it what you want, but you really can't truys. And

328
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.360
this is why their ratings and their popularity has gone down,

329
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.799
and less and less people, you know, count on them

330
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:10.480
for the news because they're feeding a narrative. They're really

331
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:13.000
not helping this country. They're really not. Just like anything,

332
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:15.599
you know, I always say, you've got to whatever it

333
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.279
is that you consume and you consider here in this country,

334
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.319
does it add or take away from the Constitution? And

335
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.200
you look at all these things, these government programs with

336
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:28.279
that question does it add or take away from the Constitution?

337
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:32.240
And you'll probably agree a lot of this stuff does not. It.

338
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:36.359
It fractures the constitution. It creates a dependent class. We

339
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:40.880
have a generational dependent class ladies and gentlemen that we're

340
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:43.759
paying for. And that's not the way it's supposed to go,

341
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.440
you know. And going back to what I said earlier

342
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:50.240
with the Democrats, the Democrats are good at understanding and

343
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.640
identifying problem. Okay, we used to say in business, good observation,

344
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:57.720
wrong conclusion. That's the Democratic Party. Good observation, wrong conclusion. Okay,

345
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.000
they can see the problem. The problem is they can't

346
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:01.519
fix it. They don't know how to fix They don't.

347
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:04.240
They don't have the mindset. This is where the Republicans

348
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.960
are so good because a lot of them are business people.

349
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.319
We deal with problems all the time. Problem solution, You

350
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:12.319
get it resolved, and you move on. You don't have

351
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.000
it's unaffordable in a business. Think about it to have

352
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:18.759
the same problem and keep paying for it. And each

353
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:20.759
year you got to pay more for the problem because

354
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:22.880
you didn't really fix it. You just kind of put

355
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.119
it on live support and you found a way to perpetuate.

356
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:28.279
That's what our government does, okay, but the Republicans are

357
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:31.559
good at fixing the problem. So and if you wonder

358
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:33.000
for just a moment, I mean, here it is. Look

359
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:35.119
at all the trillions of dollars we've paid for welfare.

360
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.079
Is anybody getting out of welfare? I mean, can we

361
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.559
do we have any success stories or we can say, hey,

362
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.480
this person wasn't well. We had all these millions of

363
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:44.599
people in welfare, and look what happened over the last

364
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.480
five years. They all got out of welfare. They're on

365
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:52.680
their own. They are realizing their full potential as human beings.

366
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:54.279
Because that's the bottom line. I mean, this is what

367
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:58.119
we love about this country is the opportunity, the opportunity

368
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:01.720
to be the best version of your Okay, and this

369
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.079
is what the Constitution was designed to do. A government

370
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:06.799
of four by we the people, not kings, not czars,

371
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.960
you know, not political interests, not FBI agents or CIA operatives. No,

372
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:17.200
the people. But you know, meanwhile, we're coexisting with these

373
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:21.079
people who are doing everything they can to undermine the

374
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:25.279
Constitution and to leave us, as my one of my

375
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:28.680
good friends just say, blind box and begging you know

376
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.480
where we are. We're begging for services that we paid for,

377
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.839
and they're the ones that have mismanaged it and they've

378
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:38.839
ruined the lives. Dare I say of millions upon millions

379
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:45.480
of Americans who should be vibrant, excited, you know, taxpayers,

380
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:51.880
contributors to this great American dream, examples to their families

381
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.240
and their communities and the nation, and that we could

382
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:58.160
go and be a light under the world, right to

383
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.240
be able to show people and we're kind of that, like,

384
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.359
because we're just so much better than ay and I

385
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:05.759
don't mean like ninety percent, we're just a little bit

386
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:08.279
better than most of the other nations, you know, And

387
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:10.599
that's why sometimes you know, people look at America and

388
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.799
you say, they go, oh, you think you're all that.

389
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:14.960
You guys are as corrupt as we are. You just

390
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.160
do it a little bit differently, you know what. They're right.

391
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:20.920
You know, we live in this corruption. But if we're

392
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:24.039
going to do something about it, it counts. Really, the

393
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:27.960
responsibility lies on we the people. It's a government of

394
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:31.119
for by we the people, which means we're responsible. Okay.

395
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:33.759
And you don't have to be responsible for the government.

396
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.880
You know, that's not your job. Be responsible for yourself.

397
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:38.720
Take care of yourself. You know, like they say on

398
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:41.279
the airplane. You know, if something happens, the mask come down,

399
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.160
put the mask on yourself first, and then take care

400
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.160
of your child or your neighbor, whoever sit next, help

401
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.079
them out, But take care of yourself first, all right,

402
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:52.599
same thing in this country, the way it operates, the

403
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.440
way it can operate most efficiently. Take care of yourself.

404
00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:01.200
Be a responsible agent for good, responsible cities, okay, Because

405
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:03.759
then if you're a responsible citizen, guess what, you're going

406
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:08.519
to have a responsible worldview and perspective on your government.

407
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:11.640
And you're going to stop re electing these knuckleheads that

408
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:13.839
are stealing from you and stealing from your kids, your

409
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:16.400
grandkids and your great grandkids. I mean, they're not even

410
00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:18.920
happy stealing with you or even stealing your now. They

411
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:20.680
want your great grandkids. And if they can get to

412
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:23.079
the next generation, they will do that as well, you know,

413
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.480
because what's going to stop them. It's going to count

414
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.480
on as you know, as John Adams said, a moral

415
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:32.799
and religious. I know sometimes when you hear the term

416
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:36.119
religious and be oh gosh, Bill, don't preach. No, this

417
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.359
really as foundational. I mean, the Constitution was designed for,

418
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.920
you know, people that are not We're not angels. Okay,

419
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:45.160
if we were angels, everything's going great, we didn't need

420
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:47.759
the Constitution. We just be fair minded and we just

421
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:51.400
have a natural flow. But we need the Constitution because

422
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:55.359
we are falling. I mean, we're nobody's perfect here, Okay,

423
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.680
we make mistakes. So we have the Constitution. We have

424
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:01.319
law and order to protect ourselves from ourself and for others,

425
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:04.839
so that we can all as much as possible in

426
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:06.960
this current condition in which we live in on this

427
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.160
plane on earth, that you know, we can have a

428
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.839
little bit of joy and happiness and success in our lives.

429
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:16.079
And we want we want that, you know, carried on

430
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:18.640
to the generations going forward. But how can they do

431
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:21.480
this when they can't afford it? When you know the

432
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:24.799
game is fixed? And that's really the situation here. You've

433
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:28.480
got to see how the game is fixed. It's fixed

434
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:31.160
against us, it's fixed against our kids, and this is

435
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:33.079
what we're handing off to them. And of course this

436
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.119
has taken us a while to kind of see this

437
00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:39.519
because the government is so massive and so complex. Now

438
00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:40.799
how do you how do you see it? How do

439
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:43.720
you recognize it? And you recognize it by first of all,

440
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:46.759
you got to focus on the legitimate you know what

441
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:48.839
how I mean, think about it for just a moment.

442
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.200
If you were the one designing a government for America,

443
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:55.319
you know, you would you would want to set up

444
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:59.400
guardrails so that it stayed in its lane and it

445
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.359
did what it was intended to do. Well. The guardrails

446
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.000
are there, but political forces have found a way to

447
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:10.079
kick those guardrails aside so that they can do as

448
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:13.240
they darn well please at our expense and then some right,

449
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:16.920
so you know, here we are. You know, everybody's talking

450
00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:19.440
about slavery, you know, and you know it kind of

451
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.000
comes in and out, but talk about slavery. Well, you

452
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.680
know what, it's not just blacks that are as slaved

453
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:28.079
or we're in slave. We're all part of this. We're

454
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:30.880
all part of this plantation that has been brought to

455
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.720
you by the political forces. So again, study and understand

456
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:37.440
what the legitimate is. You've heard me use this analogy

457
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:40.200
many times. I think it makes sense, and that is

458
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:43.599
that you know, bank tellers, you know, they teach them

459
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:48.400
how to identify counterfeit money, not that they study the counterfeit,

460
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:51.759
they study the legitimate. So when you study the legitimate

461
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:55.359
and understand what the legitimate is, then when something creeps in,

462
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:58.200
hey whoa man. It comes out and it's like, you know,

463
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:01.759
sirens are blasting, you know, red lights flashing, the whole deal.

464
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:04.799
You go, hey, that's not legitimate. That doesn't help the

465
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.200
constitution doesn't help the people who follow the constitution. Does

466
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:11.880
that make sense? I hope it does, because you know,

467
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:15.079
it really is pretty basic. It's not that complex. I mean,

468
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:17.079
people would like to make you think that it is,

469
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.279
so that you just kind of check out your eyes,

470
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:21.680
you know, they glaze over you check out and guess what,

471
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.279
it's business as usual, and they got you exactly where

472
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:28.839
they want you, and we can't have that. So focus

473
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.920
on that which is legitimate, you know, be a student

474
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:34.920
of the constitution. That's that's the rules to play here

475
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:38.119
as a citizen of this country. Be a student of

476
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:40.839
that so that you can identify, don't be I mean,

477
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.720
it's amazing there. It was said good friend Dennis Preger.

478
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:48.319
He has a test on at Prager. You. It's kind

479
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:51.920
of a citizenship test, and I think it's representative indicative

480
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:55.960
of what immigrants. The citizens tests they must pass in

481
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:58.480
order to raise their right hand and swear leads to

482
00:24:58.519 --> 00:25:02.920
the country, you know, and it's pretty basic. I mean,

483
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.400
but you'd be surprised how many people can't pass the test.

484
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:10.319
Kids are graduated from school, but yet immigrants, you know,

485
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:13.160
they're just still learning the language, can pass it, you know,

486
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:16.680
one hundred percent or you know, a very high high grade.

487
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.720
If not one hundred percent, they pass it. Okay, But

488
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:23.519
we have students that graduate from our educational systems they

489
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:26.160
can't pass the test. What does that say? Okay, it's

490
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:28.640
not complex. He's just saying, look, we're not getting the

491
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:31.160
right outcome. If we're not getting the right outcome, then

492
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:34.559
you know the system is dysfunctional. We need to fix

493
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:38.400
the operating system here. Okay, we have people in government

494
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:42.160
that cannot pass the test. Elected officials, you're representatives can't

495
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:44.480
pass the test. Think about that. They don't even know

496
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.519
the Bill of Rights. I mean, you know, it's it's

497
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.240
like this. This is not you know, any false indictment

498
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:55.759
or conspiracy. I mean, this comes from people in and

499
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:58.680
around Congress that tell me, they say, Bill, these guys

500
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:00.880
don't even they don't even know I go. But they're

501
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.920
an attorney. No, it doesn't matter. They just they're just

502
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.119
so distracted by other things. See, they're not studying the

503
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:12.000
legitimate so that when the illegitimate comes in then they

504
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:15.000
would notice it right away and vote against it. But

505
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.039
when they're so busy, you know, having to get re elected,

506
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.359
go to the congressional cocktail parts because that's most important.

507
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:25.319
They got to be networking there and and you got

508
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:27.319
to make sure you're you're part of the reindeer games

509
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:31.200
there in DC. So they're not taking the time to

510
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:36.680
really study the Constitution. And whenever there's work to do,

511
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:39.559
then who does the work. It's staff that's doing the work.

512
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:42.720
It's not them, because hey, they're all that they're too busy,

513
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:44.799
you know, I don't have time, you know, but I

514
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:47.279
got staff, Get all these staff members that, oh yeah,

515
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:49.880
by the way, taxpayers band for it, and they're you know,

516
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.720
are representative. We elected, they're not represented. I mean it's

517
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:54.960
like like, well, let me talk to the staff members.

518
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.279
You know, they're the ones that are dealing with all

519
00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:59.599
this stuff. And of course they're all high powered and

520
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:01.599
high mind it as well. If you ever try to

521
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:04.279
talk with a staffort, yeah, boy, talk about an exercise

522
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:06.880
and feudility something. And that's not everybody. I mean, some

523
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:11.480
are very very sweet, very gracious and encouraging. But you

524
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:14.119
got to understand they're in a tough situation. They don't

525
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:16.759
have really a fair chance to win anyway, because all

526
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:19.160
they're trying to do is navigate around all the land

527
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:21.960
mines and understanding, you know, those they build. You don't understand,

528
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.079
I go, will you be surprised? I understand a lot

529
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:27.119
more than you realize. I mean, I see the system here,

530
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:29.759
I see that it's fixed, it's rigged, and you're trying

531
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.960
to navigate around these land mines and make your boss

532
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.599
look good. And I get it. It's got to be frustrated.

533
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:36.119
I don't know how you guys do the job other

534
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.319
than maybe you just love politics and you love being

535
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:40.680
around you know, the smell of DC and all the

536
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:44.680
power and everything like that. But I don't know how

537
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:49.039
that can be ultimately all that all that rewarding. But

538
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:51.880
you know, this is this is what we're dealing with,

539
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:54.839
ladies and gentlemen, is that people are not studying the

540
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:58.880
legitimate and as a result, the illegitimate is creeping in.

541
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:01.920
Socialism has actually been in this country for a long time.

542
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:04.680
Let's go back to FDR, that whole movement, you know,

543
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:06.960
to take care of you know, poor people. Yes, we

544
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.079
were in trouble and we need to help people. But

545
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.440
keep in mind that even before that period of time,

546
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:14.960
a lot of the churches were churches were taking care

547
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.279
of their own. They were a great outreach, and the

548
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:18.960
government came in and said, no, we don't want you

549
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.160
doing that, because the government realized that if they could

550
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:26.759
create a dependent class, that dependent class would be beholden

551
00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:29.839
to the government, you know, the elected officials who got

552
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:32.839
them their money, who got them their nacho cheese, their

553
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:37.119
government cheese. They'd be beholden to them. And so it's

554
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:40.079
like the hotel California. They go in and there's no escape.

555
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:43.160
They're there, they're stuck. I mean, I don't know how

556
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:44.799
you can be proud of it to say, you know,

557
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:51.960
we've been serving generations of impoverished people, to keep them impoverished, impoverished,

558
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.359
to lose their dignity, to steal their joy because you know,

559
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:59.359
i'd say the number one thing to give you a

560
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:01.680
sense of joy is for you to have a job,

561
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:05.119
to be productive, to feel like, hey, I'm providing for myself,

562
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.720
I'm providing for my family. You know, That's that's what

563
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:14.000
people want foundationally, Okay, And the government has said, oh no, no,

564
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:15.519
you don't have to work. We'll take care of that

565
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.400
for you. You know, we got government cheese for you. And

566
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:21.440
so they're out there turning out government cheese to millions

567
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:25.599
of people to basically, in a sense, you know, indentured

568
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:30.079
servants that they become indentured reliant on the government. And

569
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:32.960
you saw what happened when we threw a government shutdown.

570
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.920
How compassionate was the government, particularly the party that has

571
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.799
stood for you know, the poor supposedly, but for all

572
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:43.880
the wrong reasons. That's why they're so fake, and they

573
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:47.759
got so exposed is that they they looked at the

574
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:52.079
government shutdown as a political opportunity, a political ploy. We're

575
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:55.160
going to leverage this is our leverage here, Like they

576
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:58.920
it was their right at the expense of people that

577
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:03.279
were to their snap benefit. You know, they had created

578
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:07.119
this dependent class and then they walked away. They turned

579
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.240
their back on the dependent class because they needed political

580
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:13.519
leverage for power and control. Are you kidding me? I mean,

581
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:18.279
they create this group that depends on them for their

582
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:21.480
daily bread and they shut it off for the sake

583
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:27.319
of leverage and control. See, that's communist at its essence,

584
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:31.680
that they will do everything for their own survival. But

585
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:34.880
yet when they came in, they told everybody, hey, kumbah yah,

586
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:36.440
it's all great, it's all going to be taken care

587
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:38.359
for you. You got free of this, you got free that,

588
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.079
free this for that, until you don't, and then when

589
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:43.720
you don't, hey, sorry, you're out of luck. I mean,

590
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:45.960
look at the history of the Communist Party just in

591
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:49.839
the last hundred years. What the numbers they vary anywhere

592
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:53.480
from eighty million to one hundred and ten million that

593
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:57.880
they're responsible for killing. They think about them eighty million

594
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:01.680
to one hundred and ten million that communists have killed

595
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.240
over the last hundred years. Okay, and this is this

596
00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:05.759
is the other thing to the cracks. I don't know

597
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:08.880
if you've seen this going around. This is nuts. These

598
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:12.880
people go, well, you know, Jesus is a socialist, are

599
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:16.440
you what are you talking about? I don't read anywhere

600
00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:19.680
in the Bible where Jesus killed ten million, one hundred

601
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:22.200
million people. Wait, what are you talking about? He's a socialist.

602
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.240
I mean I didn't see him coming in and redistributing wealth,

603
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:27.920
taking it front of the poor, you know, being a

604
00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:31.000
robin hood or I didn't see that happening. You know,

605
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:38.279
I didn't see Jesus, you know, coerce his followers and say, hey,

606
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:41.799
you know I got pictures of you, I got this

607
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:43.920
kind of information on you. You better follow me. If not,

608
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.119
you're going to be now. I mean, his followers naturally

609
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.519
followed him because they believed in who he is. I

610
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.960
mean to the point that eleven of his twelve apostles

611
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:01.799
were martyred, not to mention how many hundreds of others

612
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:05.400
who went to their death because of what Jesus represented.

613
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:09.119
And it continues to this very day. The persecution of

614
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:11.519
the Christian church. You know, a guy like Charlie Kirk

615
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:17.400
comes out and he espouses biblical principles, truths, and people

616
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:19.839
see that. I mean, I was watching Who Was It

617
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:23.559
over the weekend? Okay to curate, and she made this statement.

618
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:26.559
She goes, well, you know, he was just so mean,

619
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:32.240
and I guess that's her worldview, that's her perspective. But

620
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:35.680
I didn't see any and hear any meanness. You know,

621
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:39.160
Charlie Kirk, like many of us, believe that there is

622
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:42.039
a higher calling. You know that God loves us so much.

623
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.960
He's our creator. He gave us, you know, the heavens

624
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:47.839
and the earth, He gave us this planet in which

625
00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:50.400
to live in. He designed us with all these gift

626
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:55.519
and talents that we you know, we demonstrate to others

627
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:58.839
and Charlie Kirk myself others. That's what we want. We

628
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.319
want you to be the vest best version of yourself.

629
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:04.880
And the best version of yourself isn't what I say.

630
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:07.960
It's not me, it's not my definition. That's between you

631
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:11.200
and God. That is. That's what you need to discover

632
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:14.359
is what are And the thing is is that part

633
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:17.160
of that best version of yourself usually comes to you,

634
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:19.680
visits you usually like three o'clock in the morning, in

635
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:21.960
the wee hours of the morning, you're dead out of sleep,

636
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:23.839
and all of a sudden, you know, it's like the

637
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:26.880
heavens open up and God wants to have a discussion

638
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:28.559
with you and say, you know what, you can be

639
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:31.240
a lot better than this. It's not that hard. Nobody's

640
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:33.440
asking you to walk on water, create miracles or like that.

641
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:37.400
I've already designed you. I've given you. When I was

642
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.119
designing you in your mother's womb, I was giving you

643
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:43.160
everything you needed to go out and think about it.

644
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:45.240
This is how much God loves us, is that he

645
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:49.640
designed us with all this talent and wherewithal to go

646
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:52.480
out and be successful, be the best version of ourselves.

647
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.480
But see, if you're not studying the legitimate, you're not

648
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.680
going to understand the illegitimate when it creeps in and

649
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:02.480
you're going to find yourself grasping for all the wrong things.

650
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:05.880
You know, you're going to want to look for your answers.

651
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:08.159
And I've been sharing this repeatal. I just that God

652
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:11.000
has made this so obvious to me, is that we

653
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.320
we look to things of this earth, we look to

654
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:17.159
individuals for answers to the problems. Well, the answers to

655
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:19.880
the problems they're not here on earth. You're going to

656
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.800
find them in heaven. That's where that's where the legitimate is.

657
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:24.599
You got to go to heaven. And I don't mean

658
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:26.519
you have to die to go to heaven, but you

659
00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:29.000
got to look to the heavens. You know, the Bible says,

660
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:30.920
where does my help come from? You know I looked

661
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:32.719
to the hills. Where's my help come? My help comes

662
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:36.400
from God, Almighty, God, God Almighty. Who the one who

663
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:39.679
created this popcorn stand? Okay, he kind of knows what

664
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:41.960
he's doing here. You think with all this stuff that's

665
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:44.840
set up, you think that you know, some somebody, some

666
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:47.280
you know, weird scientists all of a sudden, you know,

667
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:50.079
rubbed a couple of rocks together, and whom here we are,

668
00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:53.880
planet Earth, Solar system. All that come on. Please, I mean,

669
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:57.360
there's such a magnificent design. I mean, all you have

670
00:34:57.400 --> 00:34:59.119
to do is open your eyes. I mean, you know

671
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:02.079
for those you know people when they have babies, right

672
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:03.960
when a baby is born, they look at that child

673
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:06.719
and they think, what a pick and miracle. I mean,

674
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:10.800
it's amazing. You know, there's my child. You know five

675
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:14.079
fingers on one hand, five fingers on the other, five toes,

676
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:17.559
big toe too, you know, another another set of toes

677
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:21.280
on the other foot. Eyes, mouth wow. And then this

678
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:26.079
little humanoid starts growing and developing, and here they are,

679
00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:29.599
and hopefully in that time that we have them, you know,

680
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:32.679
we train them up in a way that they look

681
00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:37.199
you know, we give them guidance, but ultimately we point them,

682
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:41.480
you know, to God Almighty, the merciful God who loved them, okay,

683
00:35:41.519 --> 00:35:45.159
who created them so that they can be the best

684
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:48.639
version of themselves. See. But society, no, you know, you

685
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:51.880
can't do that. Communist, socialist no, because that's that's the

686
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:55.000
power exchange, the power exchange, because is all about power,

687
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:58.639
and you're gonna you either are going to you know,

688
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:03.360
subordinate and yield and be compliant in a sense. I

689
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:06.199
know sometimes those are rough words. But be in alignment,

690
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:09.039
I guess is a better term. Be in alignment with

691
00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:13.079
the power of the planet and the universe. Now'm not

692
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:16.039
talking about something that's environmental. I'm talking about the one

693
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:18.800
who is in charge of it all. Okay, not some

694
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:23.159
wirdo space scientists or some fake science guy out there.

695
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:27.280
We're talking about the legitimate the real deal, God, God,

696
00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:31.480
Almighty himself, father, son, and Holy Ghost. That's that's the

697
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:37.400
opportunity for us to yield and align ourselves with that

698
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:41.760
power structure, not subordinate ourselves to the power structure of

699
00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:44.559
this world, which, oh, by the way, you know, seventy

700
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.360
eighty years is what it lasts. It's all rusting and

701
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:52.000
rotting away, you know, fortunately or unfortunately, I guess unfortunately

702
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:55.119
for you in the sense maybe some of this is

703
00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:58.280
making sense, and this is wisdom of you know, seven

704
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:03.079
plus decades of life and you know, challenging gravity, challenging

705
00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:05.280
all these things that I thought, you know, because you know,

706
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:07.639
I'm a boomer, I was a baby boomer, and we

707
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:11.840
challenged everything. We revolted against everything, right because we had

708
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:16.280
to prove there was something else, and we denied God

709
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:21.320
and we found out sometimes the hard way, that gravity exists, okay,

710
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:26.000
And eventually, you know, for some of us, we realized that,

711
00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:29.079
look at we needed to we needed to turn to God.

712
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:31.679
And I say that to you that you know, whatever

713
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:33.400
it is you're dealing with. And of course right now

714
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:37.480
in our country, wow, crazy stuff. You know, men say

715
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:41.639
their girls, girls say their boys, bathroom confusion, all this stuff.

716
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:44.480
Really you think that's from God, you know, No, that's

717
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:46.760
from this earthly plane. That's from down here, It's not

718
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:49.480
up there. And it didn't make sense. All this stuff

719
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:52.159
is so so goofy, and you think, well, this is

720
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:54.599
no brainer. Why don't we having this argument. Well, because

721
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:59.039
because we have a group of people that, sadly, I

722
00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:01.360
would say they're law and I say that at the

723
00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:03.519
risk of you know, thank god I'm not in England

724
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:07.800
because this would be perceived as hate speech. And I'm

725
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:10.920
not being hateful. I'm just you know this, this is

726
00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:14.360
just the right thing to do, you know, the right

727
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:18.360
the right thinking. We have been, as zig Zigglar used

728
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:22.480
to say, we're filled with stinking thinking, and sinking thinking

729
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:26.000
produces those kind of results. Okay, look at the fruit,

730
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:28.760
the fruit of your life, the tree of your life.

731
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:33.119
Is it producing you know, those good things, those righteous things,

732
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:37.159
those healthy things. Is your life producing that? Or are

733
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:41.679
you drug addled and uh, you know, confused and you

734
00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:44.960
know you've got sexual disorientation, all this kind of stuff

735
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:48.719
that you know, it doesn't make sense. It defies common sense, right,

736
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:52.320
And I feel really, trust me, I feel for people

737
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:55.639
who've gotten caught up in the confusion of it all.

738
00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:58.480
I mean, you can't, you can't help but feel for them,

739
00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:01.239
because but for the grace of God, any one of

740
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:04.239
us could be in that situation. And I believe that

741
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:06.639
we have been saved in a way to help be

742
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:11.519
that that lifeguard, so to speak, for those But even then,

743
00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:13.360
I say, look at all I can do is point

744
00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:16.199
you to who has the answers, because the answer that

745
00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:19.840
you need it's different than my experience. But I can

746
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:22.840
tell you who has the answers. It's God himself, and

747
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.000
that's who you need to go to. And if somebody

748
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:27.679
tries to tell you anything different, I mean, yes, you

749
00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:30.400
can have therapists and there's medical people that can help

750
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:33.519
you out. I get that you know the whole process,

751
00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:37.519
but ultimately the answer that's between you and God, and

752
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:40.960
I pray I pray you find it and that you

753
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.880
can that there's time for you. I pray that there's

754
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.039
time for you to be able to have that run

755
00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:49.159
with because I can tell you when I had gotten

756
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.239
to that point in my life where I was, I

757
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:56.000
was in the media business still am obviously, but then

758
00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:58.199
I was in the media business and I had an

759
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:01.880
advertising marketing company and siding California, and everything was always

760
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:03.239
kind of you know, it was loose, it was kind

761
00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:06.199
of there was no black and white. Fact, God decided

762
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:08.079
it was time for me to be around somebody and

763
00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:11.000
met his friend. Dear friend. I love it. I love

764
00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:12.840
him dearly to this day. He and his family has

765
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.599
just been great people. And Danny was a black and

766
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:17.679
white kind of guy. I mean he is as black

767
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:19.559
as it can black and white as it could be.

768
00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:21.920
There was nothing in between. I mean it was kind

769
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:24.639
of a comedy because he and I come together and

770
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:26.800
I'm like, you know, Dan, you got to look at

771
00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:30.199
the in between areas, you know, the gray areas. No, No, yeah,

772
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:32.920
I was it. He had determined early in his life.

773
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:37.239
He came from parents that were missionaries and was a

774
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.800
student previously. He and two other friends and they were

775
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:43.480
partners in this business and this company in southern California,

776
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:46.679
and they had graduated from Biola. But Danny was just

777
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:49.320
he's a character, but such a sweet spirit. But what

778
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.559
I loved about him was that it was black and white.

779
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:55.000
And he would remind me of that. I mean, no compromise.

780
00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:57.400
I mean I go, hey, you know how about this?

781
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:02.239
And he is black and white and Finally, one day

782
00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:05.280
God got a hold of me and I realized all

783
00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:06.960
that Danny had been telling me over the years, that

784
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:09.199
he was right, that it was black and white, that

785
00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:12.679
I had made excuses. I found myself living in the

786
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:16.239
gray areas of life where it wasn't all that bad,

787
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:21.159
wasn't all that good, but you know, maybe somewhere in

788
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:24.639
between kind of thing right, And I remember saying God,

789
00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:27.360
oh please, and I have a couple of years where

790
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:30.480
maybe you know, I know that you know it's your

791
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:33.239
grace that has saved me, but I want to do

792
00:41:33.320 --> 00:41:36.719
something for the kingdom where you know, because I've been destructive,

793
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:39.880
I've been selfish, is my buddy Jeff Kemp would say.

794
00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:42.440
I was a consumer. I was a consumer of this

795
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:46.199
world and a consumer of people and businesses, and that

796
00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:48.599
kind of day, I was all, you know, very self thinking,

797
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:51.480
and I was really convicted of that moment. I said God, please,

798
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:53.599
you know, can I have a couple of years to

799
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:57.199
where I could maybe you know, contribute, This is the word.

800
00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:00.280
And by God's grace and mercy, he gave me some time,

801
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:04.280
and so here I am. I passed that on to you,

802
00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:06.320
you know, for what it's worth, because you may say yourself,

803
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:08.960
you go, oh my gosh, I'm a hot mess. Well

804
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:10.960
that's okay. God loves hot messes. I mean, it's an

805
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:13.639
easy thing for him, it really is. I mean, hey,

806
00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:15.400
I was the worst of it. I talked about hot

807
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:19.639
messes and you know, so you know, I want you

808
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:21.639
to be encouraged. I want you to be encouraged to

809
00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:25.519
understand the most important takeaway of this time is that

810
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:27.320
I want you to take away that God loves you.

811
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:29.559
The God of the universe, the God who created this

812
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:32.719
popcorn stand all that's in it. He created it for you,

813
00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:35.840
and he loves you, and he's demonstrated that you should

814
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:38.079
not have any doubt whatsoever. Just give yourself a moment

815
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:41.800
think about it. Is that who who else, if not God,

816
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:45.039
would be coming to you to save you, you know,

817
00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:48.559
so that you wouldn't end up in eternal damnation. There's

818
00:42:48.599 --> 00:42:52.239
only one God himself. He is the one that can

819
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:55.639
forgive us of our sins. And he's there saying, hey,

820
00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:59.880
look at I'm you know, I'm with you, and I'm

821
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:03.519
I'm not abandoning you. They're with you. I'll never leave you,

822
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:06.159
I'll never forsake you. See, But you don't understand that,

823
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:09.000
because unless you have a relationship with God, you don't

824
00:43:09.079 --> 00:43:12.440
understand the depth of his love and his concern for

825
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:15.239
his creation. I mean, after all, we're his project. He

826
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:18.119
created us, and we didn't do it right, He did it.

827
00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:22.960
I mean, we're we're a manifestation of his master craftsmanship,

828
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:25.239
which you know, of course the devil would love to

829
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:27.199
point out, you know, going, oh yeah, look at what

830
00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:29.280
a great job you did with that guy. What a

831
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:33.920
hot mess that Martinez guy was. Is you know, oh

832
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:36.920
my gosh, you know, he just he just loves you know.

833
00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:40.639
But you see, the thing is God is so confident

834
00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:43.599
because that's the way it is, is this satan can

835
00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:45.639
say whatever he wants to He all these other naysayers,

836
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:48.199
they can say whatever they want to say. But God

837
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:51.039
knows better, and he just kind of just just smiles

838
00:43:51.559 --> 00:43:56.800
and lets people's negativity and there there are words of

839
00:43:56.880 --> 00:44:00.039
discouragement just fall by the wayside. And that's what we

840
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:02.519
have to do, too, is just let those words of discouragement,

841
00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:07.119
those things that are targeted at us, all all designed

842
00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:09.960
to make us less than, when we've been created by

843
00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:12.559
a God that's more than, and that's what he wants

844
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:16.719
for all his creation. So you know, we'd covered a

845
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:19.760
lot today and I just got a message Michael Finch,

846
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:23.320
who was supposed to be our guest. Evidently you know,

847
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:27.480
this bug's running around right so stay on guard, take

848
00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:31.400
care of your immune system because a weird bug. It's

849
00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:33.840
kind of you know people, you know, I go to

850
00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:36.599
church and people are coughing all over the place. You go,

851
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:40.239
oh my gosh. And but God is good and protects

852
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:44.639
us all. But you know, people are getting sick, and

853
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:47.320
you know, and I will share with you, doctor Richard Bartlett.

854
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:49.199
So one of the things you can do. Number one

855
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:51.559
thing you can do is mouthwash. Believe or not. Mouthwash

856
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.079
kills ninety nine percent you mean, sees right there. And

857
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:56.840
let me you know that mouthwash just use it four

858
00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:59.599
times a day kills like ninety nine percent of the bugs.

859
00:44:59.639 --> 00:45:01.760
You know, the viruses out there. And it's a viral

860
00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:04.039
deal that's flying around right now. And so we need

861
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:07.800
to be on guard, stay stay true to your immune system,

862
00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:12.280
you know, vitamin cy hydration, good sleep, good healthy habits

863
00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:15.840
and everything like that, because it's the season and and

864
00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:18.079
these bugs are flying around. Not to mention the fact

865
00:45:18.079 --> 00:45:22.519
that our crazy government's added again you know they're weaponizing

866
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:24.760
these bugs, you know, just like they did with COVID.

867
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:27.639
You know, this is no conspiracy. You know, this is

868
00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:31.519
stuff that I got thrown into YouTube jail, you know previously,

869
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:33.119
many times. So much so I think they gave me

870
00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:34.840
a key. They gave me a key to the jail.

871
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:36.960
Sid I go, Okay, I know, but I can't. I

872
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:39.079
can't help. But I got to speak the truth because

873
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:42.239
I have to protect you and give you information so

874
00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:45.239
that you're well informed as to what's going on. And

875
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:49.559
that's I feel my responsibility. But so I'll continue to

876
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:53.119
speak the truth and and I'm always open, you know,

877
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:55.599
for any conversation or any question you may have. I'm

878
00:45:55.639 --> 00:45:58.440
not claiming to be the be all and end all,

879
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:01.280
but I'm just reporting to you the things you know

880
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:06.760
from responsible doctors who know better. So anyway, yeah, bird flud,

881
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:08.400
we got to keep an eye on that because that's

882
00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:12.320
the next thing. And they're predicted, they're predicting that that's

883
00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:15.280
the next pandemic. And you know, these government officials they

884
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:17.960
love pandemics because it makes them a lot of money

885
00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:21.360
and they just love tormenting and having fun with us,

886
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:24.920
which is a whole another topic. Of discussion, so anyway,

887
00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:28.159
we'll leave it there. Thank you again for sharing a
