Hey, 12 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:05.680 everybody, welcome to this episode of our podcast together, getting together and 13 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.240 looking at what's going on in the world around us from the word of God, biblical 14 00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:15.200 perspective. And today, I think you're just going to have some fun. It's, it's been, 15 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:23.160 I got to tell you, it's been a grueling. I don't know, five or six weeks for me, the, 16 00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:30.280 the book now is behind us. It's, it's out. It's gone. And really, really glad that we're over 17 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:37.640 it because just going around and, and being in various locations and book signings and stuff, 18 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:44.600 look, these are wonderful problems to have. I'm not complaining. But back home at length now, 19 00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:51.400 and God bless. I just give you this report. God bless tremendously meeting so many, many, many, 20 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:59.080 many hundreds and hundreds of people, if not more. I remember in Dell in the Dallas, Texas area 21 00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:07.560 to book signing where I, I signed over 800 books in two hours. I thought my arm was going to fall 22 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:14.120 off. But living in the days of deception is now out and about. And it's available wherever books 23 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:21.320 are sold and, and we're grateful. So get it into this. Let's have some fun right now. In a moment, 24 00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:29.400 I'm going to have the guys queue up a video that is, that is something that is being coming 25 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:38.920 increasingly not surprising. How's that sound? It's becoming increasingly not surprising. And 26 00:02:38.920 --> 00:02:45.800 before we get into it, I'm going to read a portion of scripture to you that is, I believe, 27 00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:51.400 the answer to what I'm about to show you. Now, for some of you who are not Christians, 28 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.880 or you don't want to hear from the Bible, I'm going to ask you to just kind of man up or woman 29 00:02:55.880 --> 00:03:01.080 up for a moment and take it. I'm going to give you some scripture and go ahead, judge it all you 30 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:06.200 want. You can attack it, throw rocks at it, whatever you want. That's fine. Just listen through 31 00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:10.840 because you're going to want to know what the Bible says in light of what I'm going to show you 32 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:17.320 and then talk to you about what's happening in our current world right now. You may find it 33 00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:25.880 incredibly encouraging. And so listen, here's where we start. John chapter three, and I'm going to 34 00:03:25.880 --> 00:03:34.840 begin in verse 15, John 3, 15, and allow me to read this for just a bit. Whoever believes in 35 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:40.760 him, Jesus is speaking. Speaking of himself, by the way, it's interesting second or even third 36 00:03:40.760 --> 00:03:48.280 person verbiage, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 37 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:54.840 For God's soul of the world, or the word four can also be translated because, because God's 38 00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:01.640 soul of the world that he gave, his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not 39 00:04:01.720 --> 00:04:08.520 perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, 40 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:17.320 but that the world through him might be saved. He who believes in him is not condemned. Listen 41 00:04:17.320 --> 00:04:27.000 up everybody, but he who does not believe in him is condemned already. Because he has not 42 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:35.000 believed in the name of the only begotten son of God. The Bible here teaches, and I'll continue 43 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:43.480 in a moment, it's not that Jesus now condemns you for not believing in him. That word means that 44 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:50.920 we are all condemned already. By default, you and I are condemned for having not believed. 45 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.520 By default, mankind is condemned. The Bible teaches that man is lost in his sin, 46 00:04:58.280 --> 00:05:07.000 okay? And by default, we are condemned to hell. Salvation, the gospel redemption is what is 47 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:16.600 what is extended to us by the love of God through the Lord Jesus Christ, and the power of that 48 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:24.840 revelation or transaction of new thought is by the Holy Spirit. Very, very important. The father 49 00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:33.160 provides the son pays, and the Holy Spirit illuminates you to come out of damnation, 50 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:41.720 out of condemnation, and into salvation. So John 3.19 says, and this is the condemnation, 51 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:49.880 that the light has come into the world and love and and men love darkness rather than light 52 00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:56.760 because their deeds are evil. People love their sin because their deeds are evil. They do evil 53 00:05:56.760 --> 00:06:02.280 deeds because they're not in the light, they're in darkness, and they love it. Look, be honest. 54 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.840 Before I was a Christian, I loved my sin. And if you're not a Christian right now, you love your 55 00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:13.640 sin. When you become a Christian, one of the big signs about being a Christian, not goose bumps, 56 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:21.960 right? It's not, you know, this little tingly glitters and pixie dust up your spine. No, 57 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:27.800 it's becoming keenly aware that you're a sinner. That's right. You heard me right. Christians 58 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:36.040 who are saved now and going to heaven are very keenly aware of their sin. And we live like that 59 00:06:36.520 --> 00:06:42.280 for the rest of our lives on earth. But listen to this. For everyone practice in evil, 60 00:06:42.280 --> 00:06:46.680 hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deed should be exposed. But 61 00:06:47.880 --> 00:06:53.000 he who does the truth comes to the light. And that's what we're going to talk about. And some clips 62 00:06:53.000 --> 00:07:01.080 I'm going to show you in a moment. But he who does the truth comes to the light that his deeds may be 63 00:07:01.080 --> 00:07:08.440 clearly seen that they have been done in God or that they have now become aware that their life 64 00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:14.840 is actually being lived up before God. Now, I'm baiting you right now because the clip I'm going 65 00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:21.480 to show you is quite awesome. It's quite fascinating. But let me set it up this way. 66 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:32.120 In about a week or so, we're going to give you another podcast. And I'm going to discuss 67 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:45.720 the fall out, the rhetoric, the reporting, the news, the stuff that's surrounding my prayer 68 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:54.760 that I offered up to the Lord in Congress. It has created a media firestorm. It is crazy what's 69 00:07:54.760 --> 00:08:01.800 going on and what's being said. And it's quite awesome. And I'll address it very soon in detail. 70 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.080 I'll give you some backstory stuff that you need to hear. But I'm going to preface it by just 71 00:08:07.080 --> 00:08:13.800 simply saying this that what you're reading about online and in the news and some of the reports 72 00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:20.840 regarding the prayer I offered in Congress, there are media agencies that are talking about how 73 00:08:20.840 --> 00:08:31.080 insane I am, how wrong I am, and how much of a Christian, no, sorry, it's new today, that I am a 74 00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:38.680 radical Christian nationalist. They've added radical. Well, I'm going to be showing you guys in a 75 00:08:38.680 --> 00:08:45.800 week or two that there are those who have gone before us, some of them are household names I 76 00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:53.640 would hope in your life, that made my prayer look like a Sunday school prayer to a bunch of five 77 00:08:53.640 --> 00:09:02.200 year olds, but would be very, very applauded over the last 250 years of our nation. But here's 78 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:07.880 what I wanted to bring up today. I had congressional members come to me and I've had some congressional 79 00:09:07.880 --> 00:09:13.800 members reach out to me since and say, in fact, one of the congressional members reached out to me 80 00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:22.120 just recently and said, Pastor Jack, to the best of my recollection, this has been the first authentic 81 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:31.880 Christian prayer that I have heard in my over 12 years of being in Congress. That's sad, 82 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:38.120 but a lot of people thanked me for praying a Christian prayer that was biblically grounded, 83 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:45.800 biblically rooted, and therein lies the problem. But that is not for today, but it is part of 84 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:54.120 what's going on in our world around us. Everybody listen to this. So many of you remember the NFL 85 00:09:54.200 --> 00:10:02.040 doing the take the knee junk, the BLM junk, all that stuff junk, you know, just really 86 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:09.320 pathetic. And that's all gone now, by the way. You notice that it's a fad. It's just it's just 87 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:14.920 it's something that was a cool for the moment. But all along the way, during the way, there were 88 00:10:14.920 --> 00:10:22.920 Christian athletes in these various arenas of their sport expertise, but you know, you didn't see 89 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:29.160 it in the NASCAR, by the way, because NASCAR, I think people go to NASCAR events, carry shotguns or 90 00:10:29.160 --> 00:10:37.080 handguns, you know, it's just redneck Americana, America flag. Are you aware that at NASCAR, they 91 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:42.280 pray before they start the engines? I mean, it's red, white, and blue, down home America, 92 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:51.480 America, and it's cool and all that stuff. But so the the take a knee BLM stuff had no inroads to 93 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:57.560 NFL, but it didn't do all that good, by the way, and the Major League Baseball either. I'm not 94 00:10:57.560 --> 00:11:03.000 sure how well it did in basketball. I don't really care about basketball. So I can't report on that. 95 00:11:04.520 --> 00:11:10.120 But it's it's seemingly had its big stronghold in the NFL, but but notice it's gone now. 96 00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:18.360 It's gone now. But what is trending in interviews with NFL players? What did Brock 97 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:25.800 pretty have to say? It's the same thing that CJ, I think it's right guys, is it CJ Stroud? 98 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:35.000 What did he have to say? What did Patrick Mahomes have to say? What are some of the other guys? 99 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:44.840 McCaffrey, what did he have to say? And it's growing. What's the what's trending right now in the 100 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:56.440 NFL? Big time. Is the NFL and ESPN trying to trying to get an interview without somebody mentioning 101 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:04.360 Jesus Christ? I mean, Jesus, it's amazing how much Jesus is being talked about in the NFL right now. 102 00:12:05.640 --> 00:12:12.040 And it's it's it's building. It's building. Why? What's happening? Because when we go through our 103 00:12:12.040 --> 00:12:19.480 spasmatic trending woke things, they always die out. Why? Because they have no foundation. 104 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.680 Most of the stuff that you and I hear is rooted in lies. Okay. And some of those things we're 105 00:12:24.680 --> 00:12:31.000 going to expose on later podcast where somebody says this, it's a it's a total lie and we're 106 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:41.400 going to show you that. It's going to be fun. But the NFL, you can see clips now where live TV 107 00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:49.080 CJ Stroud will be interviewed and give glory to Jesus Christ. Thank God is Lord and Savior. 108 00:12:49.080 --> 00:13:00.280 And then quickly within minutes, NBC or ESPN or Fox or somebody will will edit the Jesus stuff out 109 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:06.840 and and then play the interview. It's so terrified. They're so terrified of Jesus. 110 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:13.800 It's actually beautiful. What's going on? People are coming to the lights. That's what's happening. 111 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:20.840 God's word that I just read to you. There are those who are waking up and they're coming to the light. 112 00:13:21.800 --> 00:13:29.320 And they are beginning to see that their deeds have been done in darkness and that they want truth. 113 00:13:30.280 --> 00:13:37.800 And so I'm going to show you this clip. Okay. And so guys go ahead and play this clip and we'll get 114 00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:45.720 back to it. But I think as time rolls on, people are going to understand the need to have some sort 115 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:53.560 of divine structure to things, some sort of belief in the sanctity of love and of truth. 116 00:13:54.200 --> 00:14:01.800 And a lot of that comes from religion. A lot of people's moral compass and the guidelines 117 00:14:01.800 --> 00:14:06.760 that they've used just follow to live a just and righteous life has come from religion. 118 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:14.600 And unfortunately, a lot of very intelligent people, they dismiss all the positive aspects of 119 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:21.000 religion because they think that the stories are mere superstitious fairy tales that, you know, 120 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:26.760 they have no place in this modern world and we're inherently good and your ethics are based on your 121 00:14:26.760 --> 00:14:32.920 old moral compass and we all have one and that's not necessarily true. We need Jesus. 122 00:14:34.520 --> 00:14:38.680 I think for real. Like if you came back now, it'd be great. Like Jesus, if you're thinking about coming 123 00:14:38.680 --> 00:14:46.200 back right now, now's a good time. Pretty soon. Yeah. So wow, there you go from the most unlikely 124 00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:56.120 guy, Joe Rogan. Listen, if you ever listened to Joe Rogan's podcast, he uses Jesus's name a lot, 125 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:02.280 but he's not praying. Okay. And you might say, well, I think they're joking around. It doesn't 126 00:15:02.280 --> 00:15:05.080 matter if they're joking around and not by the way, I don't think they're joking around. 127 00:15:06.280 --> 00:15:11.720 I think that Joe Rogan is starting to come to the light. I'm not saying he's a Christian 128 00:15:12.680 --> 00:15:19.400 and I'm not saying that he's going to become a Christian. I'm saying that the insanity that 129 00:15:19.400 --> 00:15:25.640 is out there has so overplayed its hand like sin does. You know, sin does not have self control. 130 00:15:25.640 --> 00:15:32.360 Sin goes bonkers crazy. If you give sin an inch, it will take 10 miles. And so that's what's 131 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:38.280 happening right now. We see this happening with Dr. Phil, by the way. Dr. Phil has been making 132 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:43.640 some remarkable statements that's causing us to question what's going on? Whatever it is, 133 00:15:43.640 --> 00:15:51.560 it's really good. And let's see where Dr. Phil lands regarding this path that he's journeying on. 134 00:15:51.560 --> 00:15:56.440 Well, here's what's fun about it. Both Joe Rogan is actually talking about light. 135 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.360 In fact, he even says, we need Jesus to come back right now. Trust me, dear Joe, 136 00:16:02.920 --> 00:16:09.160 listen, we love your soul. For your sake, we hope Jesus doesn't come back today because you're 137 00:16:09.160 --> 00:16:16.040 not ready, Joe. We're praying that you get ready, but your passion and your comments about we 138 00:16:16.040 --> 00:16:21.320 need Jesus Christ to come back now. We understand what you're saying. I just know that you're not ready 139 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:27.560 yet, but we hope you do get ready. But something's up, everybody. Something's going on. 140 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:35.720 Have you noticed more and more Hollywood actors, either A being black screened or black 141 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:44.840 bald because they're Christians? In fact, in one of the, in the latest left behind movie, 142 00:16:45.400 --> 00:16:51.320 the guy that is the anti-Christ in the movie, I think it's this is the one, is this the one Kevin 143 00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:58.680 Sorbo did? The actor is a great actor. I love this guy. I've always loved his acting. It's fantastic. 144 00:16:58.680 --> 00:17:06.440 He was in top gun as one of the, one of the officers. He's a Christian and he was basically 145 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:11.800 ostracized from the Hollywood scene. And he is also a guy who said, I'm not going to kiss 146 00:17:12.520 --> 00:17:19.160 or go into some sex scene in movies. I'm married. I'm not going to do that to my wife. I'm married, 147 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:23.080 and I don't believe I'm not going to do it. This guy was basically banned from Hollywood movies, 148 00:17:23.080 --> 00:17:29.000 even though he's an epic actor. But now he's been popping up in Christian films. And you say, 149 00:17:29.800 --> 00:17:35.320 Christian films, what a joke. Let's talk about Christian films for a moment. Faith based Christian 150 00:17:35.320 --> 00:17:46.760 films. Listen to this. The last, just based on the numbers, the last movie that you'd want to 151 00:17:46.760 --> 00:17:53.640 invest in these days is a Disney film. Look at the numbers. If you want to invest in a film, 152 00:17:54.360 --> 00:17:58.600 you're going to want to avoid certain actors. And the list is pretty long. 153 00:17:59.560 --> 00:18:06.920 But I can tell you this from a movie insider, very, very deep insider, that for an example, 154 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:15.080 there are three movies that were movies that had a certain, I'm not going to mention his name 155 00:18:15.080 --> 00:18:20.360 because I don't want to get sued by him because he's such a mean ugly guy. But his three movies, 156 00:18:21.080 --> 00:18:31.000 this guy's name now is death to the profitability of a movie. And he's been around for decades. 157 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:36.920 He's a household movie name and nobody wants him in their films anymore because he's so rabid 158 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:42.600 on his political views that his movies are people aren't going, people are not going to see them. 159 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:47.960 And so this guy now, his, there's three movies he's done and they've never made it to the screens 160 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:55.560 because the producers, the film companies said, we're just going to stop it because this guy's death 161 00:18:55.560 --> 00:19:01.960 to our profits. And here's what's amazing. Did you know that Disney supposedly supposed to be 162 00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:11.480 getting away from their LBGTQ transgenderism inserts into movies and into cartoons into what 163 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:18.040 didn't they try to somehow tamper with the gender of buzz and they had weirdness in buzz, 164 00:19:18.040 --> 00:19:26.760 stuff like that or light ear, was it buzz or light ear? Light ear, okay. Tank, things like this going 165 00:19:26.760 --> 00:19:33.640 on tanking. Listen, parents are saying, no, no, you guys are not worth it anymore. You guys aren't 166 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:38.600 worth it. In fact, we're not even going to go to your fairy tale magic kingdom anymore, more of 167 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:46.120 more fairy than it is magic kingdom. And people are done with it. And I love it. And so what's 168 00:19:46.120 --> 00:19:52.200 happening is if you want to make big money, then invest in a Christian or faith-based film, 169 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.840 did you know that? You should see the percentages. In fact, I got to get these numbers for you. 170 00:19:56.840 --> 00:20:03.480 So if you invest in some blankity blank film with some actor that's out there, 171 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:17.480 they spend $600 million to make it and it's released and it only winds up making $680 million. 172 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:23.240 So I guess $80 million, you got to divide up among all the actors and the players and the union 173 00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:30.840 everybody. That's called a loss versus a Christian film that might be a Christian film that's 174 00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:40.440 $30 million, $40 million, and it's making $120 million, it's making $150 million. You say $150 million 175 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:47.560 for a film. That's nothing. But when it took you $20 or $30 million to make it, those are huge margins. 176 00:20:48.360 --> 00:20:55.960 And the Christian faith-based industry is exploding. And it's amazing. And the theaters are packing out. 177 00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:02.600 What's going on? Just wait, by the way. I'm not at Liberty. I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement 178 00:21:02.600 --> 00:21:06.760 to a film that's going to be coming out in August. And I want you to remember this podcast, 179 00:21:06.760 --> 00:21:13.400 because I can't talk about it right now. I predict this film is going to blow up the box office. 180 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:20.520 It's so good. It's so powerful. It is so heartwarming. You're going to laugh. You're going to cry. 181 00:21:20.520 --> 00:21:24.920 You're going to have joy and you're going to hug your kids and you're going to kiss your wife. 182 00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:28.600 You're going to kiss your husband. You're going to walk out of the theater. And you're going to say, 183 00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:33.320 man, I'm going to go get more people. I'm bringing them back. By the way, I can tell you this. 184 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:42.120 It's a Christian film. And the corporation, which is a household name, Ford Letter Corporation, 185 00:21:42.120 --> 00:21:48.280 they said, this is so good. We're dropping this worldwide. All theaters everywhere. 186 00:21:48.840 --> 00:21:53.320 No select theaters for this one. It's too good. Guess what? It's Christian film. 187 00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:00.680 Christian film. By the way, this year, I do believe it's this year. Mel Gibson's coming out with 188 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:09.400 the resurrection closer to the November. But that, listen, those who prepare for the movie industry, 189 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:14.440 there's a lot of work that goes behind scenes before a movie ever gets out. How many straws do you 190 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:20.280 need at each theater that's going to have this movie? Did you know that there's a science to have 191 00:22:20.280 --> 00:22:28.040 the amount of oil per gallon that all these corporate wheelers and dealers, they view the movie 192 00:22:28.040 --> 00:22:33.000 in advance. They all talk about how much syrup are we going to need from Coca-Cola? How many coaks do 193 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.240 you think we're going to sell? This movie's going to be big. We're going to need to have this many 194 00:22:37.320 --> 00:22:45.560 buckets of, I'm not joking. It is an actual science. And they're talking about Mel Gibson's forthcoming film 195 00:22:45.560 --> 00:22:55.640 being the biggest film ever in time, ever, ever. And many have already seen portions of the 196 00:22:55.640 --> 00:23:04.840 resurrection. I bring this up to tell you that something's going on. And you might be aware just 197 00:23:04.840 --> 00:23:17.000 at the time of this podcast, I heard a news clip on ABC News radio that the film industry in Hollywood 198 00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:27.640 in conjunction with the county of Los Angeles that they are dropping fees and rates to film 199 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:35.480 production companies because Hollywood is becoming a ghost town for film production. People are 200 00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:44.200 moving their film production to Europe or to Canada. And so the county of Los Angeles and the Hollywood 201 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:49.320 film industry, they are trying to make it more of an incentive to make their films back here 202 00:23:50.040 --> 00:23:54.200 in the LA area. I don't know if that's going to work or not. Hopefully it doesn't. I think the whole 203 00:23:54.200 --> 00:24:00.200 thing should just rot and fall into the pit where it belongs. But that be that as it may. 204 00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:07.640 I want to end by saying this, that if you have an opportunity to invest in a Christian film, 205 00:24:09.080 --> 00:24:17.160 you might want to think about that. After seeing this private screening of a film, 206 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:24.760 the film that shall not be mentioned at this time, for the first time in my life, I've actually 207 00:24:24.760 --> 00:24:36.680 thought about investing in the making of a film like this. And you say, well, to make money, well, 208 00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:43.720 I'm not stupid. Of course, to make some money, but that's not the main reason. 209 00:24:44.040 --> 00:24:54.440 The message was so awesome. And it's so needed for the American family and for the American kid, 210 00:24:56.520 --> 00:25:04.600 for the broken home, for the marriage, the message is incredible. 211 00:25:05.560 --> 00:25:19.480 Which leads me to my final thing here. So there is only God could have done this. Just in the 212 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:27.400 last several weeks, living in the days of deception went public in every bookstore. It was already 213 00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:35.800 doing fantastic on pre-orders on Amazon. And it's shot several times, not twice, not three times, 214 00:25:35.800 --> 00:25:46.360 several times, into Amazon's top 100. Who else, USA, USA today, USA today, top 38, whatever it was, 215 00:25:46.360 --> 00:26:00.600 just great success. That's amazing. The prayer in Congress opened up this media craziness. 216 00:26:04.840 --> 00:26:12.360 And then the fact that I'm encouraging people to vote pro-life. I'm encouraging people to read 217 00:26:12.360 --> 00:26:16.840 the platforms of the Democrat Party and the Republican Party. And as Christians, 218 00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:24.040 cast your vote accordingly to the pro-life topic, which is really easy to do because the Democrat 219 00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:33.080 platform is pro-death, pro-kill the baby. And the Republican platform is pro-life, save the baby. 220 00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.760 So what does that mean as a Christian? It means I have to vote Republican. 221 00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:41.080 And that's got all kinds of people. I've been at a shape. 222 00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:48.120 News trucks have pulled up. They want to interview. They want to talk. How dare you say that? 223 00:26:48.120 --> 00:26:56.840 How can you say that? You're endorsing candidates. So all this firestorm has all happened within 224 00:26:56.840 --> 00:27:04.360 the confines of a very, very short period of time, which has now led to interviews with various 225 00:27:04.360 --> 00:27:13.320 news agencies and various radio programming and various podcasters. And I want to leave you with this. 226 00:27:17.560 --> 00:27:25.240 Every one of them have asked me this question. And most recently it was Sebastian Gorka. 227 00:27:26.120 --> 00:27:35.640 And Gorka asked this question. And his question is what others are echoing. 228 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:43.960 Listen, I love Dan Ball. If you don't follow Dan Ball at O.N., you have to follow Dan Ball. 229 00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:50.040 B-A-L-L, he's awesome. He has the same question. He said, where's the pastors right now? 230 00:27:50.120 --> 00:27:57.080 With everything that's going on, human trafficking, abortion, your prayer being in Congress condemned 231 00:27:57.080 --> 00:28:03.320 by 26 members of Congress, Pastor Jack, where's the pastors? Where's the pastors standing up and 232 00:28:03.320 --> 00:28:11.000 speaking up? Where's the pastors at this hour? Where's the pastors? I was asked on one of America's 233 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:19.160 largest radio networks. The radio host said, Pastor can ask you this question. At a time like this, 234 00:28:20.600 --> 00:28:26.040 where's the church? And why isn't the church more prominent at such a dark time as this? 235 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:31.720 And I said to him, you're going to have to ask the pastors that because there's no doubt there's a 236 00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:39.480 day coming when Jesus is going to ask the pastors, where were you? Where were you? When all of these 237 00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:45.880 terrible things were being implemented in our world around us. And so I went in with this just 238 00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:51.960 to upset people, just to get them furious, not you, but the people that have no idea who we are. 239 00:28:53.640 --> 00:29:03.640 So one income poop from the Freedom from Religion group. What a funny group. This is hilarious. 240 00:29:04.600 --> 00:29:15.320 Are you ready for this? The Freedom from Religion group is a 501c3 religious organization. 241 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:25.880 Did you know that? And that's awesome. Freedom from religion. Hey, can we have a 501c3 tax exemption? 242 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:34.280 That's four religious organizations. That guy said that pastor who prayed in Congress and that pastor 243 00:29:34.280 --> 00:29:40.520 who's encouraging people to vote pro-life, so vote Republican because their platform has pro-life. 244 00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:47.800 He's clearly wanting to run for political office. What a knucklehead. I told you guys before, 245 00:29:47.800 --> 00:29:51.480 I've been asked twice to run for political office. I'm never going to do that. Well, I shouldn't say 246 00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:56.600 never. If God tells me to do it, I'm going to do it. But why would I step down from the pulpit that I 247 00:29:56.600 --> 00:30:05.400 have to minimize my voice? That would be ridiculous. Nope. That's a lie. And the fact that I don't 248 00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:11.240 know anything about American history, that the pastor believes that America was founded on Judeo 249 00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:19.080 Christian values. Yeah, what a dummy. I read the Mayflower Compact. I read the Constitution. I read 250 00:30:19.080 --> 00:30:26.200 the Bill of Rights. I read the Declaration of Independence. I've read the Founding Fathers. 251 00:30:26.360 --> 00:30:35.960 Yep. I don't know anything about American history. For Politico to have a reporter say what she 252 00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:41.640 said, and maybe we can drop that clip into this as well. In fact, let's do that. I'm going to 253 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:49.160 pause right now. We're going to drop that clip. And from this highly assumed Politico reporter, 254 00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:55.400 listen to this. But the thing that unites them as Christian nationalists, not Christians, 255 00:30:55.400 --> 00:31:00.520 by the way, because Christian nationalists is very different is that they believe that our rights 256 00:31:00.520 --> 00:31:05.720 as Americans, as all human beings, don't come from any earthly authority. They don't come from 257 00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:12.280 Congress. They don't come from their Supreme Court. They come from God. I look, I honestly feel sorry 258 00:31:12.280 --> 00:31:22.440 for her. But let's be serious. If she is a journalist for Politico, she's probably making 259 00:31:23.080 --> 00:31:34.840 high six digit income. Wow. Did I pick the wrong career? That woman has never read one Iota 260 00:31:35.560 --> 00:31:41.880 of American history or the Founding Fathers own documents that they gave us to create this 261 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:54.360 government. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. Right? Think 262 00:31:54.360 --> 00:32:00.520 about that. All men have been created by God that we are equal. And we've been endowed by our 263 00:32:00.520 --> 00:32:09.560 creator with certain unalienable rights. That I don't know what to say about that except 264 00:32:09.560 --> 00:32:15.400 stupid's loose. It's everywhere right now. It's in the air. I think some people are taking stupid 265 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:23.240 pills. Good advice is for you to read your Bible and to dive into some good old American history. 266 00:32:24.120 --> 00:32:30.600 Read Thomas Jefferson. Read George Washington. Read Sam Adams. Read John Adams. You know what? 267 00:32:31.560 --> 00:32:38.600 You can start by reading 1776 by David McCullough. There's hardly any reference in there to God, 268 00:32:38.600 --> 00:32:43.640 so don't worry. You're not going to get freaked out, but read about it. And then from the 269 00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:49.800 air, if that's okay, if you can survive 1776 by David McCullough, you can graduate to a life, 270 00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:59.960 Samuel Adams, a life by Ira Stole. Try reading that. You can also try reading forged in faith, 271 00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:06.920 forged in faith. Try reading that book. And there's a whole lot of others if you want them. I'll give 272 00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:13.640 you a bibliography of books that ten of them, you'll be an expert in American history. Something 273 00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:20.760 that the people at Politico have never done. Listen until next time you guys, God bless you. We 274 00:33:20.760 --> 00:33:26.040 believe this. It's time for us to live out what it is that we believe in.
