Speaker 3

It was I should be broke.

Speaker 2

It should be man.

Speaker 3

No, just all celebrating the cultures, the ethnicities.

Speaker 2

And what else is what I'll be in a family with stuff.

Speaker 3

The people would get out out June teeth man. It was cool too because I had to run to a pick something up from a doctor's office, an elderly white lady man she was just sweetheart. When I was getting ready to leave me and my wife man, you know man, elderly white lady man, you know, she was just sweetheart. And when I was getting ready to leave me and my wife man, she said, if you know, if it's appropriate, I like to say you know, happy Juneteenth, because it was actually on the 19th. When we went and I said absolutely, I said bless you, thank you, you know, and it's you know. And man, it's just. And the thing that was sad is she, you know, she had to feel like I really don't know the vibe and if this is okay to say this, you know, and man, I hated that she even had to lead with that. You know what I mean.

Speaker 3

But, she, she's just being cautious, don't want to offend nobody or you know, like some of that. But that was cool. She, she was real nice.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that I mean. For some reason, you know there are section of black people don't like it because they don't want to be reminded of that, or right? You know, like well, you know, there were some soldiers that found two years later like how are you seven? How you celebrate that.

Speaker 3

So I'm like right and I had this and I had this conversation with Eric West.

Speaker 2

What up he? And he did up you know going back and forth because he on the on the side. Like I like when Trump says too many pay holiday and I responded. I said I responded to Eve like broke. There's people working two to three jobs, six days a week.

Speaker 3

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2

I said they think we need more holidays.

Speaker 3

I'm like right.

Speaker 2

You know, like man, there's people that have to pay on groceries. Bro, pay on them and that's sad. And I'm like man, like yes we need more. I say well, if you want to rid of the holidays, let's get rid of President's Day in Columbus. How?

Speaker 3

about that? What about the 4th of July? Yeah, yeah, come on, man, and.

Speaker 2

I was like we got this current administration, this one, erased all the black history, defund the schools, defund all that. I say, man, like, like, so what? Where I mean we should be to celebrate something. You know, if you want to celebrate, right, if you want to celebrate who died for this country, we can celebrate who built this country right exactly and I'm like yeah he got mad boy, I have my robot Doug. I'm like, yeah man, he sent me a video of Charleston White man.

Speaker 2

I was like I said, charleston White makes some good points, man, but I ain't agreeing with him on this one man. No, we need some type of celebration, acknowledgement.

Speaker 3

You got to have it, man. You got to we have to the thing is it happened. This is part of our it, man. You got to, we have to the thing is it happened. This is part of our history, man. It's part of our overarching story as a nation, so we should celebrate that. To me, the fact that it did become a federal holiday, that it was actually acknowledged throughout the nation, made it that finally there's some acknowledgement and some type of healing you know can take place, because we're acknowledging this happened and and and it was a celebration that the emancipation took place, you know and so man.

Speaker 3

I mean, how do, how, how do we get on with things if we don't acknowledge it happened? It was bad and we're going to celebrate when it ended? You know, yeah, you gotta have it right and you're?

Speaker 2

right when you say healing, you might you sit there celebrating that and and get these other races um uh joining in and celebrating with us?

Speaker 3

Absolutely, absolutely.

Speaker 2

Yeah, man, because you know nobody can throw a party like black people. Let's go.

Speaker 3

Come on the barbecue man.

Speaker 2

We know the barbecue is infamous man Right, right you know that saying like y'all can come to the barbecue. That's real bro. That is real man.

Speaker 3

I remember we had we had.

Speaker 2

We had this big thing at the union hall and this guy was running his name Corny. We hit Corny, but we call him Corny.

Speaker 1

And.

Speaker 2

Corny is this, you know, he just is no Republican stuff. Okay, but but on his campaign he was, he was serving barbecue. Said man, I got this black man named bubba. Man, I got this black man by barbecue.

Speaker 3

Uh, her bubble on the barbecue barbecue grill sure enough, dog, what a line was that over with bubba over with bubba, with Bubba, over with Bubba man.

Speaker 1

Bubba had a lint bro.

Speaker 2

I was eating red meat at the time. Right, right, right. Well, yeah, man, hey Corny didn't win. He didn't win the office that he was running for, but hey, he won.

Speaker 3

He got some cool brownie points with Bubba. Yeah, he won a picnic With Bubba and the barbecue grill.

Speaker 2

He won a picnic With Bubba and the barbecue grill right. Yes, he wanted a picnic. I ain't gonna lie, dog, I wanted to see how Bubba looked. He looked like Bubba.

Speaker 3

Looked just like you would think Bubba yeah. God bless Bubba. Man Bless Bubba. He's like the Bubba Bill, that's what I like. He. But yeah, people with people to go, we gotta, we gotta show compassion to other people.

Discussing Immigration Policy and Deportations

Speaker 2

I have to because right now there's so much hate going on, so much division. Um, I'm up here, uh, watching these cubans in florida. Just be, just scared, man, scared for their life. Man um, ice is raiding uh, beautician um shops and they're going to farms, which now they trying to change me, because now, man, it was a lot, a lot of farms and Texas had to close down man.

Speaker 3

So you know that's going to do right, that's going to affect our food. Of course. So there's a lot of Cubans.

Speaker 2

They ran, they were ice with even trying to raid baseball games.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I saw that baseball game schools all of us and I'm crazy it is and like. So I guess and, and no matter what side of the line, you, you fall on with this man, you, you. No one can agree with doing things without due process, man to process you gotta have due process, bro.

Speaker 3

Even if you for the deportation of people that are considered illegals, you got to have due process. You can't just be snatching people out and it's chaos. You don't know who you, who you pulling, who you getting rid of. You don't know what that's connected to. You don't know what they're in the process of, you know, and it's like, and we don't even care if you're trying to become legal if it ain't already done. You know you, you fall under that deportation uh, category man, and that's just.

Speaker 2

That's not America, man yeah, they're usurping process man because, check this out, they're at they at the federal courts when people in the middle of the process are trying to become a citizen and get stashed out you can't do that, come on, man. So like you can't do that so yeah, you just gotta look a certain way and you out of here, and then you got the travel ban you have a travel ban in cuba. So what are you? Where you taking those people man? Right, right it's just not right, man you know yeah sure there's too much going on.

Speaker 2

And then, um, I gotta say about this too, is that, uh, you can't just be believing stuff with you. You know, uh, you know, we got these politicians saying we already went through the uh, weapons of mass destruction thing. We found out there weren't. And the same thing now man, eight weeks ago, man weren't. And the same thing now man, eight weeks ago, man, national was uh, gabby, gabby, uh, tosi, tosi gabbard. You know, she's the, uh, she's a national intelligence man. She said there weren't any nuclear bombs being built. Man in iran. She said that eight weeks ago. Wow, trump said no, I'm. He said I don't care what she says, because he, because he listened to, not Yahoo, that's what he listened to, and then it's like it's going to just bomb it.

Speaker 3

No, man, that's that's, that's just not. That's not America, man, that's not. That's not. At least that's not the fly I mean, and I know there's a lot of stuff behind all of that.

Speaker 3

But you know, all things being equal, what we say we stand for, this is not. This is not who we, this is not the behavior of, of of america. Man, we, we're, we've been known, you know, to be the people that supposed to be, um, you know the ones that try to negotiate and Foster peace, you know, and all of this stuff and and diplomacy throughout the world, man, and and now we're just, you know, guns blazing and and all this stuff, man, it's just not, it's not indicative. That's not how you make, uh, something great, you know, and we ain't gonna about the again part, we're just being great. That's not how you do it, man. Yeah, kingdom folk need to be praying for real.

Speaker 2

Yeah, especially when they say we're a God fearing nation and not acting like it.

Speaker 3

No, not at all, no compassion and especially man, how the lord says that and you know, and again, like you said, we're saying we're god-fearing, but one of the things that the lord said man is, be careful. You know how we treated his people. He was talking to his people how you treat strangers. You know how we treated his people. He was talking to his people how you treat strangers. You know, and even if they are foreigners, you know what I mean he was like, if they are submitting to your laws, and you know and the things that when this is when he was talking to the nation of Israel, he was like man you got to, he had laws, how you treated the strangers. And you know, man, you can't just be kicking folk out and treating them like they're cattle and corralling them over and I mean, come on, that's that's just not us, that's not who we are supposed to be and that's that's not good.

Speaker 2

No, you know, like the slogan great again speaks to a past and the mindset and those people that had that mindset, they are very vocal nowadays, yeah, yeah. So yeah, I'm glad you brought up Israel, man, because one of the hot topic is should should Christians this blindly, this blindly support Israel, regardless of who's in, who's in power? And and their actions, what you say man it.

Speaker 3

Okay, I look at it. I got two ways that I like to approach it. One, yes, the Lord called Israel was a chosen people, but you got to understand also why they were chosen. He said that they were chosen to show the rest of the world what it was like to be in relationship with God and was supposed to be examples to the rest of the world. And, yes, are they a people that the Lord said you know? Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Israel and all of that. Those are absolutely in the scripture. Now, that being said, speaking specifically to what you asked, blindly follow no, we're supposed to be praying for the people in Iran just as much as we're praying for the people in Israel. Because you also got to understand when God made that statement.

Speaker 3

It was an Old Testament scripture that people are drawing from. With that, christ came and it said that he came and made a whole new man, meaning that he joined the gentiles and the jews in to one faith, one belief, one people the people of god. So, jesus, now the favor of God is on the whole world again. That's what Christ came to reestablish the original plan for mankind as a whole. Israel became a nation to mirror his love and grace to a fallen world. Christ has died for the sins. Are the Jews still a people that receive a particular favor from God? From the land standpoint, yeah, because he promised that land to that group of people forever. So yeah, that's. That land is is blessed and promised to these people. But now the whole world is under god's unified favor, and so there is no looking at israel as being favored above anybody anymore, because christ, he has joined us all back into himself as one new man.

Speaker 2

So yeah, I don't like the leadership over there right now because for years, man, they always they plan, they, they're, they're bullies, man, they're going around bombing and nations and then claiming, also claiming to be a victim, and we need your help and like man. Iran was no threat to them, man.

Israel, Biblical Prophecy, and Foreign Policy

Speaker 3

Again, man, it's when you're living under the misunderstanding of biblical prophecy, when you're living under a misunderstanding of where we are now, you know, in the story of God and our history and our future and everything. It's when you have a wrong place of reference. You're going to do everything incorrect, man, because your starting point is off. So yeah, man, it's because people still thinking that you know, oh, this is just biblical prophecy being fulfilled. You know, this is just, and you don't understand that the very thing that you're saying is going to be fulfilled has already been fulfilled. And God is expecting for the kingdom of God to continue to be fulfilled has already been fulfilled. And god is expecting for the kingdom of god to continue to be advanced by his people, is expecting us to, to to show the righteousness, peace and joy of that kingdom, man, all over the world. So it is not this, this stuff of trying to make something happen, that already happened oh man, it is is, yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's killing, it's everything.

Speaker 2

Okay, I'm gonna say it's killing yeah, right right, but it's it's definitely delaying it it's definitely delaying it absolutely and um, just to see tuck across and just give it to Ted Cruz man. Yes, mm, hmm, I mean because, he because he wanted to understand.

Speaker 3

I mean he was like no talk to me. You know, if you, if you have this viewpoint of Israel, you know being this special, you know significant people, and just just blindly tell me that, tell me, how are you drawing that information? And and yeah, man, that's wrong to. If you can't give a, give an answer for it, man, then how are you so convicted? That's where he basically like bro, I'm a, I'm a Christian trying to learn, he literally was asking them, like man, you know if I'm off in my thinking, please, you know, help me. Where are you drawing this from?

Speaker 3

And and the guy is because he don't really have no merit other than what he's being told and just assuming and the traditions, yeah, and and tucker, putting the, putting the screws to him because he's, like man, look, I want the, I want the facts, bro, and he really couldn't bring that. So, yeah, put it under scrutiny. If it can't stand under scrutiny, it's not true, bro. Jesus never shied away from any conversation and that is infamous. With Christians, man, we hide behind scriptures that we don't even fully understand.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

You know, just because you know God is. It's almost like that our parents used to tell us. You know, give us a stop doing, don't do that, why Cause? I said so. You know, come on, man, that's not it, it's not an ass not imparting wisdom to nobody man, you know. Let me know why I shouldn't do it. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2

So yeah, dude, yeah, yeah so I appreciate it, tucker, but yeah man, yeah man, so likely likely allies Tucker Carlson, candace Owens. God bless them Cause they, they said I stand corrected. I know I was following this person and that person and this ideology and no, I was wrong. And I'm seeing Candace Parker. I mean not part Candace Parker, candace Owens. We know who Parker is, don't you? Candace Parker?

Speaker 1

She's a basketball player.

Speaker 3

Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2

Candace Owens. She's saying some stuff that I wouldn't.

Speaker 3

She's avid Trump bro.

Speaker 2

I was like wow yeah.

Speaker 3

When you start seeing, okay, look, man, you follow people or you can be an advocate for a person, man, until they start. If this behavior changes and shifts, then you shift. You're like, okay, look, you know, I might have been, you know, a supporter of that, but the way that they're responding and behaving now I can't. I mean, you know me, trump's first term, I was right there. What to do? Yeah, on a lot of things. Now you know what I mean. Let's keep it, keep it a buck. But you know, on his policies, you know his person, his person.

Speaker 3

People, if you, if you think trump is a jerk or whatever and all this stuff, hey, I'm with you. I I share that sentiment in his b, with his behavior. But his former policies were to me very, very close to things that, um, enable kingdom people to move more freely through the earth. But now the stuff he's doing now, man, I don't support that man. And you got to be able to, to change and be like okay, look, you'll be. The way you have behaved has changed. So I don't any longer support you. I don't any longer feel that you are the best person to be in this position and you know, and so the convert, it's like people won't allow themselves to be corrected because it's like, if, man, you know, it's like it's somehow I was wrong. You know what I mean. If I gotta say that I was once like this and now I'm, you know, no longer like that. I was. Man. No, change, change it's okay, it's. Renewing your mind is an ongoing thing, man. So, yeah, shouts out to Candace Owens yeah.

Speaker 2

And he's, and the president's going back on all his campaign promises. You know the prices of food not going to work because he said Democrats got an office, that a war would have started. And look where we are now.

Speaker 3

He said that he could end the war. He said he could end these wars literally the day after he came in office.

Speaker 1

You know making all those grandiose.

Speaker 2

Yeah, man, I'm not going to touch social security, Right. You know just all this stuff. Want to end it, right.

Speaker 3

Yeah, healthcare and all that stuff.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

Speaker 3

Absolutely. I mean, look, bro, when people make, when you are making, we, we don't hold people's feet to the fire, man, like when you, when you're not with, we're so sheepish in the, in the way that we behave so often, man, and that's good if your shepherd is good, hey man hey bro, I'm glad you said that, because I get so offended like oh, y'all just sheep man.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I am a sheep, right, I'm christian absolutely 100, because my shepherd is dope so I'm good to go, you know, but when you sheepish and you following a hireling, you know, or somebody that's, you know, that's not down for the sheep. He said who? Jesus rebuked those people. He was like who sheep? They're not, they don't think. If, bro, when you hold the office of president of the United States of America, you are the chief citizen, you're not above the law. In fact, you're supposed to be the, the one of the most highest examples of upholding it, and you're supposed to have the whole country's interests and best interests at heart, not a group, not a select group of people or a select economic, you know group of folks. It's the whole country, from the least to the greatest, from the poorest to the richest, and you're supposed to be making the best decisions possible for all of us. And when you're not doing that, words of impeachment are adequate, they're apropos.

Speaker 2

Yes, they are. Yeah, I just read that he didn't even consult with the Democrats. Don't he probably get permission from Congress? Absolutely Democrats, don't?

Speaker 3

need to get permission from Congress, absolutely, but, but, but he can override it because he is the president, the chief, you know, right, commander in chief, you know, but that's if, if, if we're in danger, you know, if you're saying like we don't have to sit here and and have all this diplomacy and all this stuff, then then you're supposed to make things like that.

Speaker 3

You're not supposed to be influenced by someone who is not even from this country and putting pressure, political pressure. We're not supposed to respond to political pressure. And he a few weeks, he a few weeks ago, said himself you know, this is a possibility, we can do it, but this is not an action that we're looking to take right now. And then all of a sudden you change and we just get this news come across that we didn't just successfully hit Iran and all this stuff.

Speaker 2

He called it spectacular.

Speaker 3

No, that's nothing spectacular nothing, nothing about that it made me so sad and they're supposed to be a anything that the president has to do that's. That's a hard decision like that it's supposed to be remorse behind that yeah we hated to have to do that, but it was. You know they could not be allowed to get this. You know this technology to become, but you, just but your own intelligence.

Speaker 2

People just told you that they were eight weeks ago, eight weeks ago, she was questioned and she said no, there aren't and so now your own intelligence people you don't trust he said you just got us.

Speaker 1

Yeah, he said.

Speaker 2

he said I don't care what she says, exactly what you said I was like wow that's not presidential and that's not.

Speaker 3

that's not heeding the laws of our own constitution in land.

Speaker 2

Well, he has been going by that that, but that's not in here.

Speaker 3

And that's the thing, man. Just because you can have, it's a reason why that a president can only serve four year terms and it's a reason why there are things like impeachment in place. Just because you have the job for four years, if you're not doing it well, it doesn't mean you get to keep the job. You can be removed because you're not doing the things that are in america's best interests as a whole, and and that's why we have a group of of people in our nation and our congress and government is made up this way, so these things can't just happen. And but see, when you got people, that's personally following certain agendas and and people connected to wanting to see certain outcomes and things happen, they, they will override the rules or as if they don't apply to them. And and that's not, that's not our country.

Speaker 2

No, and that's not. That's not our country. No, I know I didn't vote for him, nor Kamala, but Kamala wore. Everything she warned us about is happening.

Speaker 3

And you and you know my stand man who would have got it? Man, we've just been dealing with a different set of problems.

Speaker 2

But like these are.

Speaker 3

I know what you said, but I know what you're saying, like who, but what set would you rather been dealing with? And and that's, that's the. That's the thing, man, but because I might, and there's a possibility, bro, because of these farmers.

Speaker 2

I think they said a hundred farms, bro. Uh, can you imagine that I mean, that's a hit the trickle down effect of that we talking about, down effect of that we're talking about either high groceries or no groceries, bro, and who wants to think about that?

Speaker 3

man? Man, look, I got a bro, man, I got a brother. I'm just, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna say his name, uh, just because of the content of what we're talking about. But, man, but in in Canada, because of the tariffs and everything, man, that they were doing a significant amount of business with the U? S based company.

Speaker 3

That was a significant amount of business for this company in the U?

Speaker 3

S and because of the tariffs and everything and what you know, that we slapped on our sister country, man, on Canada, they were forced to go and look for this, this type of business relationship elsewhere with another country, doing business with that company, bringing those millions of dollars going into that country.

Speaker 3

And they said, even if we resolve the tariff issues now, because they established that relationship, which the quality was, they said, was just as good, if not better, and for 40 less than what they was paying at the time, they won't return to the US. So why would you? And we're doing this, man, we're forcing people to stop doing business with us. They're not going to stop doing business, so they're just going to find an established business elsewhere and when these tariffs and stuff start getting, you know, resolved, then they're not going to still not come back, because they're going to that. People are going to sign contracts for a certain amount of years and then when you have that, if these people are doing good, you're going to stay with them. You're going to just come back to America because we're America.

Speaker 2

Trust is lost now.

Speaker 3

Is right that that bridge is burned. And in America, I don't care how sweet we are and how dope we are, bro, we have to be able to do business with other countries and nations to remain a prosperous nation. We can't do it ourselves.

Speaker 2

Our soil don't hold all the resources that we need.

Speaker 3

No it does not so and god does that on purpose.

Speaker 2

Yes, for us to have relationships thank you, that's all across the board.

Speaker 3

Countries, people absolutely ethnic groups, everything, no gender, genders, absolutely everything it's. It's embedded in creation, bro, because god is requiring us to have relationships with each other and and yeah, this, this kind of stuff man is, this is the kind of stuff that that can, that deletes nations out of existence, man, when doing stuff like this and um, what I also woke up to, because, uh, iran said oh, this is the beginning, oh well, we, we at war and they don't have the ability to like uh, send a missile here to launch, but they can hit us from within though yeah.

AI, Fear, and Biblical Misinterpretations

Speaker 2

Sleeper cells, yeah, yeah, absolutely sleeper, absolutely, and we already dealt with that already, we've already seen that.

Speaker 3

And why would you, why would you int intentionally put your citizens in harm's way? Because you know they can't attack us from over the seas, from country to country. They're gonna do it from within. And see that, bro, that's, uh, that's, that's not thinking like a president man. You have to be, you have to be a forward thinker man. And and about how this is gonna, you know, be in the short term and the long term and his self-interest can't play, it can't come in, but yet him, the Trump Trump family and legacy is prospering immensely during this time.

Speaker 3

Yeah, they're doing business all over the country, the world right now from a personal standpoint.

Speaker 2

You see, have you seen the phone?

Speaker 1

What.

Speaker 2

Have you seen the Trump phone?

Speaker 3

No.

Speaker 2

No, he has a phone Like the iPhone and Samsung. He has a Trump phone.

Speaker 3

Oh, there's an actual okay.

Speaker 2

And it's gold too like the shoes.

Speaker 3

Of course it would be right. Like the shoes, the hats, and yeah yeah, yeah like I said

Speaker 2

I don't know go ahead, 500, 500.

Speaker 3

Okay, I mean, you know, I came front, that's you know yeah that's about what phones are running. You know the apples, and some of them you more. But, bro, I don't want your personal phone see he's making phones great again.

Speaker 3

This is not. Your personal brand can't be growing. That's a conflict of interest on so many levels. Your personal brand should be paused.

Speaker 3

If you, if you really feel that this was a calling to come into and and be, and you're the chosen one, and you think that your personal brand should not be increasing, and do all this. And the thing is, man, I supported the dude on the first term and because I did, uh, you know, when he started kicking his campaign and stuff back up because my email address was in his, in his base, I get these uh messages, you know, and, and trump merch and all this stuff, man, you're the president in the united states. Don't send me no email trying to sell me no t-shirts and hats with your face on them, that this is not the time to increase your brand. Yeah, you know, and all this stuff. And then telling me that wearing some of these emails I get man is, is, is erroneous. Man, this is crazy. Like you know this. This is the time. I got four reasons why we need you to send us $10 right now. What?

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

What Bruh? Come on man.

Speaker 2

No man, People got it, we got to stand up, man, because I'm tired of these politicians and I'm tired of these celebrities.

Speaker 3

Man, what are the people, god, going to stand up? This is what is going to happen, man. This looking and keeping it 100, bro, this concept about Jesus coming back to rescue us has just got to be resolved. We're here to be fruitful, multiply, replenish, subdue and dominate this earth period. This is what he came to do, and he's coming back when we begin to do the things that we're supposed to do. He's coming back to take over what we've already gotten to be the king of the Kings and the Lord of the Lords.

Speaker 3

And until we start behaving that way, man, we, we, we're just going to keep repeating this, this, this is historical, man. What we're saying now is not something that we haven't already seen. This is going to keep repeating itself because the image we're making it happen. We're, we're recreating this story and, man, it's like you said. You've seen the, you've seen the blue thunder and all of them so many times. You, like, I'm over it. How many times do we have to run this, this sequel, this narrative, before we just get tired of you? Ok, man, we're not doing this again. We're gonna. We're gonna do this the lowest way this time.

Speaker 2

You know, and and just but you gotta get theology together. I mean because you feel that that rapture man you still got people you know waiting for, waiting to get rescued it's such a distraction, bro.

Speaker 3

It is so funny, dude, I would. I just arrived on Friday night, man, I'm sitting there chilling. It's about nine o'clock, man, I'm going through I don't know Netflix or whatever. I see Left Behind popping up, so I watched it. I started turning it on. But see, it's different when you're watching it from a standpoint of it being like a movie. And I was just cracking up, bro, you know, people's clothes was just laying out. Yeah, yeah, glasses tucked right there and all this stuff.

Speaker 2

He said the glasses were tucked. I got it. He said the grass is the time.

Speaker 3

So Jesus arrived to the mountain, the angels stayed back up before they close up for a minute. I got it, bro, I got it, it was, it was. I mean, when you look at it, from when your theology is is corrected and you look at those types of movies and stuff, again, man, it's, it's just such a different, it's no different than watching a Marvel movie. Basically, bro, you just be like tripping, like I believe that, once you know it, just you know, it.

Speaker 2

Just you know, it's man, it's crazy hey, so uh, before we get out here, I want to talk about uh I get so many videos. People send me so much, so much stuff man, music and theology and uh the abomination of desolation, and, and it was that guy, the Mitchell guy, what's his name?

Speaker 3

Philip Mitchell and I met you and they love him. Man, yeah Passionate bro I love that Do.

Speaker 2

I was four, I was with him. He was going on, he was reading the script. Mm hmm Talked about that and he's like, and I believe that's a guy and I just like wow yeah just let all the air out oh, not just like just so. So ai is the abomination of desolation yeah, that's it man wow that's the turning point, right there I'm like something that we create, something recreated.

Speaker 3

Right, right, it's a tool, man, that's all. It is, dude.

Speaker 2

Like, how, like, how, like, how I don't get it though Like, how do people even think?

Speaker 3

How can they be the?

Speaker 2

Yeah, like how can I want because of the movies or something like that Terminator?

Speaker 3

Man. You know, it's so many things that can feed that mentality, man, but it's absolutely not the scripture that's doing it, you're not drawing your truth, or your is a ridiculous concept to think that AI, artificial intelligence is the abomination of desolation, as spoken by Daniel, the prophet Bro, that is wow. Can it be an abomination of desolation? Yes, it can be, because you're going to make it one, but it's not the one the scripture is talking about. So that is where the danger comes in.

Speaker 3

There's a lot of stuff, man, that we can. Can you make people individual, specific people and say that's potentially could be the antichrist? Yeah of course you can, but John said over 2 000 years ago that there's many Antichrists in in the world. The spirit of Antichrist is already here then, so you can poke.

Speaker 2

You can make a poster boy for the Antichrist out of anybody hey, man, it was funny because that person that sent it to me I don't, I didn't know what side they were laying. So I was thinking that they were saying that the president was that and uh, was the antichrist. And so I was like, okay, I'm just gonna listen to them. But then they went to ai.

Speaker 3

I was like oh, my god, oh my goodness I guess, how is that even possible?

Speaker 2

um christians, man. They just don't see themselves with the strength, they don't see who they are. They don't they don't see, they don't believe in their image fairies and no dominion.

Speaker 3

No dominion, bro, none, none what is that?

Speaker 2

what is your power? You have so much power. You just got to believe that and understand that, that I mean the bible tells you, you have that look, look.

Speaker 3

The disciples literally came to jesus man after the resurrection and he's preaching the kingdom 40 days after his resurrection. He's saying they lord, when you do this, will you at that time restore the kingdom to to israel? And jesus said it is not for you to know the times and see the father put that in his own power, but you will receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you. So he's letting you don't even worry about no specific event of what's gonna happen. Do you recognize? The real deal is you're going to be filled with the Holy Spirit and you're going to have all the power you need in life after the Holy Spirit comes. And when Jesus said that, he was talking about because the Holy Spirit hadn't been given yet, and that happened on the day of Pentecost. So people like, yeah, after you get the Holy Spirit, look, people are not receiving the Holy Spirit now. Or the father said in those days I'm pouring my spirit out on all flesh. Everyone has the Holy Spirit just in their lives, but they all people have not received him into their life. So he's there, doesn't matter who you are, he's there. But if you don't receive him and receive his power, and what? His spirit and the power of his spirit can do for you. You're not going to, you're not going to benefit from it and it doesn't matter the fact that he's there, just like angels, it doesn't matter if they're there or not. If you don't understand how that system operates, you're not going to receive the benefits.

Faith, Politics, and Finding Compassion

Speaker 3

Man and bro I can just imagine when he said that and man mercy. I pray God's mercy on him and the congregation and the people that follow that, because you gotta be careful on who you following and just listening. It's like you just said. Should we be blindly, uh, just up following Israel and supporting them, no more than we should just be blindly following people or doing in? Paul said follow me, me as I, even, as I am a follower of Christ, it matters. He's even said mark people who are not preaching the same gospel that we are and avoid them. Just embrace everybody because they say Jesus and and all this stuff. Try to spare by the spirit to see if that's the spirit of God. What do you think heaven responded to when he said that AI was the anti-Christ or the abomination of desolation?

Speaker 2

I feel some sorrow, everybody in heaven looked around like what what?

Speaker 3

This is sad, man. This is a digital construct. Do you know? I love the place that you put me on a member place because it's a tool, bro, so I use it as such If I'm looking for a certain way to say something you know, isn't that if I don't particularly like, ah, this could be better.

Speaker 3

This computer, this AI, knows syntax, it knows language, it knows structure, it knows things and how to put some things together. That I don't. But even when it does it, if I don't like the way it got put together, I'll ask it to do it another way and then, if I like it, I'll say oh, that's it. That's exactly how I wanted that to come across. It's a tool. Tool, that's all it is. So I asked perplexity on purpose. I said are you a person? I'm not a person, I am, you know, it's that I am. I gather data and facts to do, basically to say, to do things that can benefit you and help you in any way that I can. I'm not a person, you know. But can you start taking this technology and feeding it evil and wrong information and get it to start behaving a certain way?

Speaker 3

yep, but everything behavior is going to be artificial.

Speaker 2

It's not real, everything, everything could be perverted.

Speaker 3

Anything can be perverted, absolutely. It's a something that you use abnormally is abuse. Can we start abusing ai? It's already started. People are already doing it. Yeah, it's not an abomination can it?

Speaker 3

be an abomination that causes desolation. Yes, all that term means is you've taken something, has exalted itself in in your life above god, and it's causing desolation in your life or an abandonment. That's all that term means Abomination of desolation. It's an abomination that causes desolation, but when the scripture talks about it, it was talking about a specific abomination that caused desolation, and Jesus even said the one that Daniel spoke of. He's talking about a specific one, not anything that can cause abomination of desolation. We could do that all day and say, oh yep, that would cause an abomination that would cause desolation. Oh yep, that would too. I mean, we could do that all day long, dude, yeah.

Speaker 2

Like you said, it's a specific's specific.

Speaker 3

It was a specific one, absolutely yes, and that event already took place in time oh, people, guys already taking place, that happened. The one that daniel spoke the daniel, the scripture right, the one that's in the scripture. That happened already because people still waiting on it.

Speaker 2

Man, they still waiting on it yeah yeah, and if there's some, and there's some people in a part of the world still waiting for the messiah thank you, thank you.

Speaker 3

I was just getting ready to say I was just waiting for the messiah. Look, we can even roll it back a little further, because before the Messiah comes, your boy, elijah, must come. The scripture said it's still people waiting for Elijah to come back, because he's got to come back before the Messiah comes. And Jesus said Elijah has already come back. It was John the Baptist who came before me. Yes, and I'm the messiah that the whole world been waiting on.

Speaker 3

But, like you said there, are people that still waiting for the first coming of the Messiah. So, dude, this is not strange that we have missed things throughout history.

Speaker 2

If you're so scared of AI, just unplug the computer, just disconnect.

Speaker 3

And I mean disconnect from everything. Everything, because your job uses AI. Yeah, your grocery stores use AI, dude, I went to Taco Bell a few weeks ago. Ai took my order, dude, I mean I don't mean to disrespect that. I went to Taco Bell a few weeks ago. Hey, I took my order, do I mean? I don't mean to disrespect that.

Speaker 2

I went to oh no, you know I'm going to talk about. You know they use black beans man. Oh, ok.

Speaker 1

I get.

Speaker 2

I get black bean burritos and tacos bro.

Speaker 3

Oh OK, Look, I feel delivered. My boy Hicks got a taco. Look, I ain't saying you can go eat all of the dogs.

Speaker 2

Man them black baby boys. Be all jacked, but dude.

Speaker 3

AI took my order. Dude man, look here.

Speaker 2

And I like go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 3

I'm sorry and was happy and gave me good customer service, dude yeah.

Speaker 2

Oh man, you talking about AI, because it's not perfect, you know.

Speaker 3

Not at all. No, it's not.

Speaker 2

I have two podcasts For the Gospel Twin podcast, it works perfectly.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I love it, dude.

Speaker 2

I put it through Music Book. No, bruh, I was like man, wow, I was like that's what you got out of that.

Speaker 1

What.

Speaker 2

Man, I had to like dude, I had to like nah man, that's dope.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 2

I used my dominion on that.

Speaker 3

I was like wait a minute, man. You had to take authority.

Speaker 2

Bro, I looked at that Because, look, I couldn't wait, man. I couldn't wait for the results. I'm like my eyes is big. I'm rubbing my hands together like, yes, right, ooh. And I saw that I was like that's what you got out of that. Wah, wah, wah. So I had to use my intelligence.

Speaker 3

You had to right. It's just a tool. It's not a substitute, it's not a replacement, it's not an antichrist. There's nothing about AI that can be antichrist unless the person who's programming it is antichrist and they're programming and what they're giving AI it only can do. Come on, man, it's a program. Stop it, man.

Speaker 2

Stop it. We have power, we have the authority. Come on, man, we control it. Thanks, hello you watch too many movies man the Matrix.

Speaker 3

Terminator. Yes, had us fearing this, and this is nothing but another tactic of the enemy to get us to live in fear, living in fear of stuff we are creating that sounds that is man right when you?

Speaker 2

he creates the arms. I don't care so it's like so mysterious. No people think AI is so mysterious. It's not Any of this is not do.

Speaker 3

It has access to all the data that's out there in the digital world, whether the data is good or evil. So, depending on what questions you ask it, yeah, and how you, you know, do it and the algorithm it sets up in your life because of the things you're saying and doing with it. That's all it's doing, dude. It's just drawing information that you've already given it. People think ai is predicting their future and telling things. It's just drawing information that you've already given it. People think AI is predicting their future and telling things. It's just drawing information that it has about you and it's making predictions and hypothesizing, as any computer does.

Speaker 2

Man, you use perplexity when you ask the question. At the top you can see it says it goes through the how many sources it is.

Speaker 3

Absolutely.

Speaker 2

I mean sources get the information from and that is drawing from.

Speaker 3

Yes, yes that's, that's all it's doing. That's all it's doing, and it's, and it's, it's. It's a computer and it's doing the same thing that we do in life. We draw from experiences. We draw from other people's experiences, we're drawing from what we've been told Somebody is going to.

Speaker 3

Who gave that brother the revelation that AI is the abomination of desolation? Where'd that come from? He didn't contrive that of his own self. So where did that information come from? He didn't. He didn't contrive that of him his own self. So where did that information come from? I can tell you who it didn't come from. Right, you know. It did not come from the holy spirit. I promise you that. So you know. And, chris, that's another thing too. Man, chris, just believe that the devil can't talk to him and the devil don't give him information, and he can sound like the devil himself transformed himself into an angel of light. This is why we have to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit and have to know what the word of God says, so we can filter some of these things through it, because the devil can say some things to you to sound just as wonderful and glorious and revelatory as god, and it has no life in it you know, like every time you, sometimes you say things and it reminds me of certain movies.

Speaker 2

I don't watch this movie anymore, but the Exorcist, when Reagan was in the bed, possessed, and the father went over there and he turned himself into Satan, turned himself to the father's mom. You don't remember that.

Speaker 3

He she's like oh no whatever part of it I saw, I I absolutely deleted it out my life years ago, so I don't know she was.

Speaker 2

She was talking she was talking to him and his mom's voice, so he was seeing his mom. His name was Jimmy. He said why do you do this to me, Jimmy?

Speaker 3

Oh, my goodness, See that he got confused man See. He knew he was talking to Satan. All of a sudden, he was talking to his mom, to his mom, dude, he got confused. Yeah, so I do this good man to do this good, his rent will acquiesce them. And his little imitation? What do they call people that can imitate other folks? And what do they call that, that form of entertainment?

Speaker 2

impersonation, impersonation yes man, he's an amazing impersonator dude yeah yeah but, trust me trust in the holy spirit and uh that's why you got to.

Speaker 3

You got to. I told you that situation. I had almost man thinking that it was the holy spirit talking to me and, thank god, through, through the, the uh, anchoring of the scripture, there you go. I was, you know, I was like I don't, I think I'm gonna hold off on that, lord, you know, because I think I'm talking to the holy spirit. So I'm being cool and but I'm, but I'm you, but I'm anchored by the scripture, like I don't think that's probably the best way for me to go right now yeah and later on, the holy spirit was like you remember, when you said that, I said that that wasn't me talking.

Speaker 2

I got pulled back many times bro. Thank god for the holy spirit bro I just told you, a friend of mine sent me a video um this guy was interviewing. You know, just was trying to see what the person's uh anger would get to and and like what would, how they respond it's like talking about uh, talking about child molesting, he's like oh, I don't play with that man, I will kill somebody.

Speaker 2

And I was like, and the person, like she responded and said, oh yeah, I don't believe in that I'll kill somebody, and that's and I had to remind her, it it's like you got to give people a chance to come to repentance.

Speaker 2

I said you've done and I was like I personally know some things that you've done that somebody considered offensive enough that would kill you. And I said but you're still here and you're able to still take care of your children. I said, because that person could take justice in their own hands, you wouldn't even be here. I said I've done some. I think I've done some things too. Somebody could have taken me out of it, but I was given another chance.

Speaker 3

I was giving mercy man I was giving that mercy man too, absolutely coming to the fold, bro, coming to the fold, bro, that man and that people need to understand that above before, this is why we can't judge people, bro is because, like you said, we got to give them that space of grace, man, and where God can bring mercy. And here's the thing we pray to God have mercy on them. Well, god's mercy starts with you. It starts with you. It starts with you, he said. Blessed are the merciful, for they'll receive mercy man.

Speaker 2

We we have to be merciful to one another.

Speaker 3

You're in extension, thank you, thank you everything. We're always praying for god to do it. We, we're the. The extension of that is going to happen through a person. It's going to happen through a person, man, whether it be through that person praying, whether it be for that person speaking well and things. It's just like even this man. I don't condemn donald j trump for being the way he is right now. Something in his life has caused him to be this type of person Because he don't seem happy Say that again.

Speaker 2

He doesn't seem happy.

Speaker 3

Not at all, even the pic. Bro show me one picture that he's ever taken that they can put on TV where it looked like he was actually legitimately happy. Yeah, yeah, something going on. I don't see one. There's something going on there.

Speaker 2

That they can put on TV where it looked like he was actually legitimately happy. Yeah, yeah, something going on. I don't see one. There's something going on there.

Speaker 3

It's bro, it's something. No, why? Because he's an image bearer. No one made in the image and likeness of God desires to operate in anything but righteousness, peace and joy. Something happened to cause you to behave differently in your life and there's a brokenness that that's coming out of. This is why we have to be renewed in our mind. This is why God gives us new hearts. This is why he tells us to follow him. This is why because there's so much other stuff that can cause us to behave otherwise, so much other stuff that can cause us to behave otherwise, but we're going against our own genetic and spiritual makeup and DNA, because we're not. We're created in the image and likeness of God. So anything that we're projecting, that's not that it was influenced by some other force, event, experience, and we have to realize that. This is why we first have to realize we're made in God's image and likeness. And this is not me. This is not me.

Speaker 3

I can't hate another person. That is so supernatural, man, to hate fear. You know all this other stuff that causes us to act contrary to hate fear. You know all this other stuff that causes us to act contrary to God. That's a supernatural experience. Love, peace, joy. Those are just natural proclivities to us. Who don't want to be happy, who don't want to be joyful, who don't want to have peace, who don't want right things done for them and their family and and who doesn't? Yeah, come on man.

Speaker 2

No, nobody does yeah, because I see his face. It's never you don't see any joy or peace ever, you know, over his face or just his being man, it's me.

Speaker 3

Yeah, it's a mean mugging all the time, yeah, yeah, and calling people man out of their names and calling making fun of people, and, bro, that's coming from a brokenness in him and he deserves our prayer, man. But just because a person deserves your prayer and all that stuff doesn't mean they deserve the job that they have. Right, you know, we got to recognize this. Well, pray for them. Well, I will, you know, just like anybody else. You know, if they're not doing the things that they should be doing, you get fired. This is, mr King You're fired when people are not doing their job, fired when people are not doing their job. And so if you're not doing your job and first you have to know what your job is as the president then you you have to. Man, if you ain't doing it, bro, I'm to the point in my life. If I'm not the best person for the job, I'm stepping down. Yeah, you got to fire me, right, you know?

Speaker 3

I'm stepping down like I'm not. I'm, I'm not equipped right now to handle this. You know, and again now, that we're in the day and time of understanding mental, uh, health and all that and a whole nother level. Yes, bro, why would you take celebrations from people? If anything, like you said, we need to have more stuff to celebrate over. It's so much crap going on every day that we're dealing with and you want to take the few wins we got and take them away.

Speaker 2

You talking about fentanyl. Why you think people taking fentanyl?

Speaker 3

Exactly Any drug. That's what he always speaks about Like bro Right.

Speaker 2

Because people are depressed, they're scared, they're fearful.

Speaker 3

And they're trying to take themselves out of this current reality, this state Absolutely so much uncertainty.

Speaker 2

So much uncertainty. And I just pray to people that as close to his proximity can like impart some wisdom on him, so godly wisdom that he would listen to it and I pray for the nation. I find God. Seek the kingdom now we all need it now, it's just bro now more than ever, than ever, and I just prayed um. I pray god has mercy on our leadership and I, yes, and I pray that the leadership has find some compassion for the people yes for the people, man, because we need it.

Speaker 2

We need it so badly.

Speaker 3

Yes, yes, yes, oh, man, man, we need unity. We're called the United States, bro. Yeah, that has you want to make America great? Focus on that, on bringing the states under one union. We were once a nation, one nation under God, dude and divisible. Well, that was our declaration, and we, and we should have been striving to make that declaration our actual manifestation in our country, and it never did. We never did. And then what we do? We removed the declaration, you know, we stopped saying it, we stopped blessing ourselves. And, man, that was a blessing. Do you remember when we was in school, we used to say that before we started school, especially Ms Payne class, for sure, oh man.

Speaker 2

Oh, man bro. Oh, all I can tell you about my journey um and I'm still on it, brother I feel, I feel great.

Speaker 2

so once I did that fast. And one thing the experts say we shouldn't eat as much as we do, we shouldn't eat every a couple hours. You know, just like you know, like animals in say we shouldn't eat as much as we do, we shouldn't eat every couple hours. You know, just like you know, like animals in the wild, they don't eat all the time. You know they get they eat like every other couple of days, maybe once a day, and their body benefits from that. And I want, I've always wanted this, to try it. I always wanted to see if I could do it and I've been pretty much doing it and, bro, I have, my mind has so much clarity I have uh so much strength man um energy, wow I don't feel weight down.

Speaker 2

I don't feel weight down, man, um it's easy so what I've been doing is, uh, I try to eat, now I don't. I don't eat past six o'clock, so when I get home for so I got like an hour to do this. So I get home, cause usually I had a routine where I would get everything ready for the next day, I would take a shower.

Speaker 1

Then I would eat man.

Speaker 2

But no man, I'd be. As soon as I get home, I eat and then I go take a shower. So by that time, after I eat, take a shower, I'm relaxed, and then I'm going to bed not too long after that, and so I'm not in the position to eat again. You know what I'm saying Okay, you know Okay. And so what I do is go to bed about 8 o'clock. So you got to give your time. You got to give your body time to digest the food.

Speaker 3

So about a couple?

Speaker 2

hours and so I'm going to sleep, so I'm not tempted to eat again. I make sure they will just say just say I do wake up. The best thing to do is you wake up and not tempted to eat, just drink a lot of water and so I want to go back to sleep, my, my days usually started three between three, three, 30. I don't eat bro until eight o'clock.
